We're sitting here
at Laymen Ministries
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
post production studio,
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
talking about the
Days of Noah project.
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.43
In fact, this is
update number three.
00:00:05.47\00:00:07.80
And if you're not
familiar with this project,
00:00:07.84\00:00:09.40
I would highly recommend
calling or emailing our office,
00:00:09.44\00:00:12.44
and asking for the Days
of Noah project update DVD
00:00:12.47\00:00:16.24
that has all
three updates on it.
00:00:16.28\00:00:17.75
There's a lot of
really good footages
00:00:17.78\00:00:19.21
that has been
taken out of the series
00:00:19.25\00:00:20.82
that we're producing.
00:00:20.85\00:00:22.18
Gives you a
little bit of a taste
00:00:22.22\00:00:23.55
of what this
production is about.
00:00:23.59\00:00:25.05
Also, you can go
to Laymen Ministries
00:00:25.09\00:00:26.42
YouTube channel
00:00:26.45\00:00:27.79
and all these presentations
are available on air as well.
00:00:27.82\00:00:30.63
In this studio with me
00:00:30.66\00:00:31.99
or in the post
production studio with me,
00:00:32.03\00:00:33.83
is Michael
MccAffrey, and Chris Tempel,
00:00:33.86\00:00:36.56
and these are two key
players with the production
00:00:36.60\00:00:38.60
of this Days of Noah project.
00:00:38.63\00:00:40.74
And, Mike, for synopsis
for those who might be watching
00:00:40.77\00:00:44.21
for the first
time, and they go like,
00:00:44.24\00:00:45.57
"What is the Days
of Noah project about?"
00:00:45.61\00:00:47.38
In a nutshell, what is
the Days of Noah about?
00:00:47.41\00:00:49.61
So the Days of Noah
project is really looking
00:00:49.64\00:00:51.78
at the story of
Noah and the flood,
00:00:51.81\00:00:53.18
and comparing that
story with the Bible prophecy,
00:00:53.21\00:00:55.68
the three angels' messages,
00:00:55.72\00:00:57.05
and the events that take
place at the end of time.
00:00:57.09\00:00:58.79
So how extensive
production is this?
00:00:58.82\00:01:01.66
I mean, how much time, how
many DVDs are we producing?
00:01:01.69\00:01:05.29
Well, it's pretty
extensive project,
00:01:05.33\00:01:06.96
and that it's
four parts right now.
00:01:07.00\00:01:09.00
And in part one, we look
at the scientific evidences
00:01:09.03\00:01:11.07
for the flood.
00:01:11.10\00:01:12.43
Establishing the fact that
a judgment has taken place,
00:01:12.47\00:01:15.60
and then that begs the question,
00:01:15.64\00:01:17.11
when will the next
judgment take place?
00:01:17.14\00:01:19.37
So on part two
of The Days of Noah,
00:01:19.41\00:01:20.81
we then look at
the 2300 day prophecy,
00:01:20.84\00:01:23.78
and William Miller's,
00:01:23.81\00:01:25.71
the events surrounding his time,
00:01:25.75\00:01:27.62
as we know that the hour
of his judgment has come.
00:01:27.65\00:01:30.52
That was, that's the
first angel's message,
00:01:30.55\00:01:32.45
and Noah proclaimed
the judgment hour message.
00:01:32.49\00:01:34.49
So we look at
the parallels there.
00:01:34.52\00:01:36.46
In part three of
The Days of Noah,
00:01:36.49\00:01:37.83
we look at some of the parallels
00:01:37.86\00:01:39.73
between Noah's
message and the second
00:01:39.76\00:01:41.63
and third angel's message.
00:01:41.66\00:01:43.26
And in part four
of The Days of Noah,
00:01:43.30\00:01:44.83
we're really looking
at how to be prepared
00:01:44.87\00:01:46.74
for the second coming of Christ,
00:01:46.77\00:01:48.50
and how Noah's message helps
us to be ready for that event.
00:01:48.54\00:01:51.91
So this is, in no means just
a half hour television program.
00:01:51.94\00:01:55.51
This is a
documentary that's what,
00:01:55.54\00:01:57.21
over four hours
long all together?
00:01:57.25\00:01:59.15
Yeah, I think the
last time I looked,
00:01:59.18\00:02:00.52
it was about four and a
half hours all together.
00:02:00.55\00:02:02.55
So it's...
00:02:02.58\00:02:03.92
And where are we at this
summer as far as production?
00:02:03.95\00:02:06.65
Well, we've done a
lot in the last year.
00:02:06.69\00:02:09.66
We've traveled to...
00:02:09.69\00:02:11.73
In 2016, we traveled to Wyoming,
00:02:11.76\00:02:13.50
we traveled to
Montana, and Utah,
00:02:13.53\00:02:15.36
shot some fossil graveyards,
00:02:15.40\00:02:17.63
saw the archeological
evidences for the flood.
00:02:17.67\00:02:20.47
In earlier this year
we've done a lot of shooting
00:02:20.50\00:02:22.64
of B-roll scenes to correspond
00:02:22.67\00:02:25.44
with the contents
in the documentary.
00:02:25.47\00:02:28.44
In June and July,
we've been working a lot
00:02:28.48\00:02:31.55
again on post production,
00:02:31.58\00:02:32.95
and even still right
now doing 3D animations,
00:02:32.98\00:02:35.28
and Chris has been working
00:02:35.32\00:02:36.65
on the 3D timeline and so forth.
00:02:36.69\00:02:38.35
In this early fall,
we actually had a wrap
00:02:38.39\00:02:42.22
which means that we were done
00:02:42.26\00:02:44.13
with all the actual
shooting with the camera,
00:02:44.16\00:02:46.80
and now we're in the final
stages of editing and such.
00:02:46.83\00:02:50.27
Chris, what are you
doing with the project?
00:02:50.30\00:02:53.20
My primary purpose is
visual effects driven.
00:02:53.23\00:02:55.77
But being just a small
team, which is the two of us
00:02:55.80\00:02:58.24
essentially
working on this thing
00:02:58.27\00:02:59.94
for the most part we
cross train quite a bit,
00:02:59.97\00:03:03.48
and so we can
film, we can do sound,
00:03:03.51\00:03:06.21
edits, special effects,
00:03:06.25\00:03:07.58
Mike's been
learning special effects
00:03:07.62\00:03:08.95
and been doing a lot
of some of the animations
00:03:08.98\00:03:10.72
that we're gonna
take a look at later,
00:03:10.75\00:03:12.09
which is really cool.
00:03:12.12\00:03:13.46
But my primary job I would say
00:03:13.49\00:03:15.29
is just the
visual effects I think,
00:03:15.32\00:03:17.19
it's a lot of it is figuring out
00:03:17.23\00:03:18.99
how to get maybe
different pieces of software,
00:03:19.03\00:03:20.90
talk to each other,
00:03:20.93\00:03:22.26
and what the whole
workflow needs to be,
00:03:22.30\00:03:23.77
and things to keep in mind
00:03:23.80\00:03:25.73
when we're filming stuff on set.
00:03:25.77\00:03:27.90
So a lot of just
that kind of things.
00:03:27.94\00:03:29.37
So is it pretty extensive,
00:03:29.40\00:03:31.34
this kind of work
doing animation stuff?
00:03:31.37\00:03:32.97
I mean... Yeah.
00:03:33.01\00:03:34.34
it's extremely time consuming,
00:03:34.38\00:03:36.04
and 'cause every shot
there's like 50 different steps
00:03:36.08\00:03:39.18
you have to go through
00:03:39.21\00:03:40.55
in order to get
a shot to work out.
00:03:40.58\00:03:41.92
So why did we
opt to do it in house
00:03:41.95\00:03:43.95
rather than
farming it out to some like
00:03:43.99\00:03:45.95
professional post production...
00:03:45.99\00:03:47.46
I mean, that would be
ideal if we could farm it out
00:03:47.49\00:03:48.96
but we're
definitely trying to save
00:03:48.99\00:03:50.33
some money to the
ministry and such,
00:03:50.36\00:03:51.69
and so with just the
two of us doing it in house,
00:03:51.73\00:03:54.40
it does take a lot
longer to do especially that way
00:03:54.43\00:03:57.27
but 'cause we
don't have the whole team
00:03:57.30\00:03:58.63
of specialists working on it
00:03:58.67\00:04:00.60
but it does save
the ministry money
00:04:00.64\00:04:01.97
which is really good.
00:04:02.00\00:04:03.34
What's really kind of unique
about this film too is that
00:04:03.37\00:04:05.91
because the content
is theological in nature,
00:04:05.94\00:04:08.78
it's not like we're doing a
biography on somebody's life
00:04:08.81\00:04:11.48
where we can go back and
pull out archive footage,
00:04:11.51\00:04:13.38
and interview people
that were family members
00:04:13.42\00:04:15.95
or so forth.
00:04:15.98\00:04:17.32
We're having to create a lot
of this content from nothing.
00:04:17.35\00:04:20.42
So we're having
to create paintings,
00:04:20.46\00:04:21.86
we're having to do 3D animations
00:04:21.89\00:04:24.79
so that we can
illustrate Noah's story,
00:04:24.83\00:04:26.73
but also illustrate
how these events relate
00:04:26.76\00:04:29.56
to Bible prophecy which again,
00:04:29.60\00:04:31.00
we have to
illustrate to large degree.
00:04:31.03\00:04:33.10
So we've got literally
hundreds of 3D animations.
00:04:33.13\00:04:38.31
I think it was
maybe over 400 animations
00:04:38.34\00:04:41.98
that include the
sanctuary, 3D Bible verses...
00:04:42.01\00:04:45.75
Yeah, on the
football field, yeah.
00:04:45.78\00:04:47.32
Cathedral, and then
give timeline shots as well.
00:04:47.35\00:04:49.55
So there's a lot of...
00:04:49.58\00:04:51.15
Yeah, a lot of
people don't understand
00:04:51.19\00:04:52.95
how time
consuming a lot of this is.
00:04:52.99\00:04:55.12
And people are
calling the office,
00:04:55.16\00:04:56.49
and saying, "Is
this production done yet,
00:04:56.52\00:04:57.86
you've been
working on it a long time,"
00:04:57.89\00:04:59.23
but we are a small team,
00:04:59.26\00:05:00.60
even though we've subcontracted
a number of people,
00:05:00.63\00:05:03.26
artists, animation people
00:05:03.30\00:05:05.20
that have done
some stuff for us,
00:05:05.23\00:05:06.84
artists overseas,
even in India we hired.
00:05:06.87\00:05:10.21
So there's a lot of other people
00:05:10.24\00:05:11.57
behind the
scenes working on this
00:05:11.61\00:05:12.94
but basically
because we're trying
00:05:12.97\00:05:14.48
to keep the budget cost down,
00:05:14.51\00:05:16.31
we're doing a lot
of the stuff in house
00:05:16.34\00:05:18.11
on our own production facility.
00:05:18.15\00:05:19.71
Now, Chris, we have some footage
00:05:19.75\00:05:21.08
that we're gonna look at.
00:05:21.12\00:05:22.45
And this first clip,
what is it regarding?
00:05:22.48\00:05:24.82
So what we're
gonna take a look at
00:05:24.85\00:05:26.19
is just a series of
scenes involving a court room
00:05:26.22\00:05:28.56
that we shot at about
a year and a half ago,
00:05:28.59\00:05:30.19
something like that,
00:05:30.23\00:05:31.56
that deals with
the close of probation,
00:05:31.59\00:05:32.93
and it was just really great way
00:05:32.96\00:05:34.30
to illustrate these concepts.
00:05:34.33\00:05:35.66
The whole concept
of the judgment, yeah.
00:05:35.70\00:05:37.03
Yeah, the judgment,
the close of probation,
00:05:37.07\00:05:38.40
what kind of gets
involved with that.
00:05:38.43\00:05:39.77
This is just a really
small sneak peek of that.
00:05:39.80\00:05:42.70
Right now the
outcome of our case
00:05:42.74\00:05:44.21
in the heavenly judgment
is still being investigated
00:05:44.24\00:05:47.31
because the door into the refuge
00:05:47.34\00:05:49.41
of the everlasting
covenant is still open.
00:05:49.44\00:05:52.01
And that door is Jesus.
00:05:52.05\00:05:54.88
I am the door: by
me if any man enter in,
00:05:54.92\00:05:59.12
he shall be saved.
00:05:59.15\00:06:00.89
Jesus also spoke
about the door of salvation
00:06:00.92\00:06:04.06
in the Book of Revelation.
00:06:04.09\00:06:06.80
I have set before
thee an open door,
00:06:06.83\00:06:09.33
and no man can shut it:
00:06:09.36\00:06:11.33
for thou hast a
little strength...
00:06:11.37\00:06:13.50
The reason Noah didn't
shut the door to the ark
00:06:13.54\00:06:15.90
is because it represented
the door of salvation,
00:06:15.94\00:06:18.47
and no man can shut this door.
00:06:18.51\00:06:20.81
Imagine the faith
Noah had preparing an ark
00:06:20.84\00:06:23.14
for 120 years knowing he
had no way to close the door.
00:06:23.18\00:06:27.75
He trusted God
would fulfill His promise,
00:06:27.78\00:06:30.22
and He did.
00:06:30.25\00:06:31.59
But we read, "The
lord shut him in."
00:06:31.62\00:06:35.69
When the judge
strikes his mallet,
00:06:35.72\00:06:37.69
the case is closed,
00:06:37.73\00:06:39.06
and the
investigation is finished.
00:06:39.09\00:06:40.96
In the same way, the closing
of the door of the ark showed
00:06:41.00\00:06:43.47
the case of every
individual had been determined.
00:06:43.50\00:06:46.60
All had chosen to accept or
reject the promise of mercy.
00:06:46.63\00:06:50.41
In order to understand
how God will shut the door
00:06:50.44\00:06:53.01
of salvation at the end of time,
00:06:53.04\00:06:54.81
we need to turn
to our lesson book,
00:06:54.84\00:06:56.81
"The Sanctuary".
00:06:56.85\00:06:58.18
And we'll see
how Jesus is keeping
00:06:58.21\00:07:00.05
the door open right now.
00:07:00.08\00:07:01.88
"For Christ is not entered
00:07:04.12\00:07:05.49
into the holy
places made with hands,
00:07:05.52\00:07:07.69
which are the
figures of the true,
00:07:07.72\00:07:09.72
but into Heaven itself,
00:07:09.76\00:07:11.59
now to appear in the
presence of God for us."
00:07:11.63\00:07:16.06
He's in the presence of God.
He is there as our intercessor.
00:07:16.10\00:07:19.00
And right now,
we have a mediator
00:07:19.03\00:07:20.37
who is interceding.
00:07:20.40\00:07:21.74
He ever lives to
make intercession for us.
00:07:21.77\00:07:23.67
But obviously, there's a time
when that intercession stops.
00:07:23.71\00:07:27.04
The time will come
00:07:27.08\00:07:28.41
when He's gonna
stand up and He leaves.
00:07:28.44\00:07:30.15
The high priest will come
out of the most holy place.
00:07:30.18\00:07:33.25
The center will be cast down.
00:07:33.28\00:07:35.85
At this particular point,
there is no more intercessor,
00:07:35.88\00:07:40.02
and there can be no
more forgiveness of sin.
00:07:40.06\00:07:44.46
It is Christ
that died, yea rather,
00:07:44.49\00:07:47.26
that is risen again,
00:07:47.30\00:07:48.73
who is even at
the right hand of God,
00:07:48.76\00:07:51.13
who also maketh
intercession for us.
00:07:51.17\00:07:54.70
As our defendant in
the heavenly tribunal,
00:07:54.74\00:07:56.91
it's the intersection
of Jesus before the father,
00:07:56.94\00:07:59.57
pleading the merits of
His blood on our behalf
00:07:59.61\00:08:01.61
that makes mercy possible.
00:08:01.64\00:08:03.61
This means, when Jesus
leaves the father's presence,
00:08:03.65\00:08:06.28
mankind will no
longer have an intercessor,
00:08:06.31\00:08:08.78
and the door of
mercy will close.
00:08:08.82\00:08:11.82
At that time,
the saved are saved,
00:08:11.85\00:08:13.46
and the lost are lost.
00:08:13.49\00:08:15.09
Which means that every
case has already been decided
00:08:15.12\00:08:17.46
for life and for death.
00:08:17.49\00:08:19.73
We take God's mercy for granted
because so often when we sin,
00:08:19.76\00:08:23.23
we know God is
there, and we can pray,
00:08:23.26\00:08:24.87
and He'll forgive.
00:08:24.90\00:08:26.67
But some day, the
laundromat is gonna close,
00:08:26.70\00:08:29.37
and we won't be able
to be cleansed anymore.
00:08:29.40\00:08:33.68
And so now is
the time to receive
00:08:33.71\00:08:35.44
that sanctification
and that cleansing.
00:08:35.48\00:08:38.31
So you kind of get an
idea of the style that
00:08:38.35\00:08:41.45
we're using in this production,
00:08:41.48\00:08:42.82
and there's a lot of different
things happening in it.
00:08:42.85\00:08:45.29
In fact, in another scene that
we're gonna show you a clip of,
00:08:45.32\00:08:47.86
it's a fairly long clip.
00:08:47.89\00:08:49.22
It's over nine minutes long.
00:08:49.26\00:08:51.06
It's dealing with
identifying the wine of Babylon,
00:08:51.09\00:08:54.56
and then dealing with
the second angel's message.
00:08:54.60\00:08:57.17
And, Michael, is
there anything else
00:08:57.20\00:08:58.53
you want to caveat
with this particular clip?
00:08:58.57\00:09:00.64
The second
angel's message section,
00:09:00.67\00:09:02.07
I think, is
roughly about half hour.
00:09:02.10\00:09:03.84
So we're really looking
at the first third of that,
00:09:03.87\00:09:05.67
introducing the
concept of how we identify
00:09:05.71\00:09:09.08
who the Babylon is,
00:09:09.11\00:09:10.45
and dealing with
the wine of Babylon.
00:09:10.48\00:09:12.21
Good, well, let's roll
that, and the viewers can get
00:09:12.25\00:09:13.98
a little bit of an idea
of what we're producing here.
00:09:14.02\00:09:16.18
As we spoke of Noah
preaching a day of judgment,
00:09:32.33\00:09:36.71
a day of decision,
00:09:36.74\00:09:38.07
you're either on or
you're not on the ark,
00:09:38.11\00:09:39.44
you know, take your pick.
00:09:39.47\00:09:41.58
So he was a
preacher of righteousness,
00:09:41.61\00:09:44.21
and so by
promoting and really saying,
00:09:44.25\00:09:47.95
this is the only
way that it works,
00:09:47.98\00:09:49.45
is to obey God's law.
00:09:49.48\00:09:51.42
He was condemning
as it were by contrast,
00:09:51.45\00:09:55.09
the false systems of worship.
00:09:55.12\00:09:56.76
But it's clear that
majority of the population
00:09:56.79\00:10:00.40
were not comfortable
with God's requirements.
00:10:00.43\00:10:02.46
So they must've set
up some of their own.
00:10:02.50\00:10:07.60
By the worldwide
proliferation of false worship
00:10:07.64\00:10:10.24
and idolatry in
the days of Noah,
00:10:10.27\00:10:12.27
the people were well prepared
00:10:12.31\00:10:13.64
to reject the
invitation into the ark.
00:10:13.68\00:10:15.88
And the innumerable systems
of false worship in our day
00:10:15.91\00:10:18.78
will yield the similar
result in the rejection
00:10:18.81\00:10:21.35
of the everlasting covenant.
00:10:21.38\00:10:23.25
But God will
leave none who desire
00:10:23.28\00:10:25.05
the knowledge of the
truth to be deceived.
00:10:25.09\00:10:27.09
Both His mercy
and His justice demand
00:10:27.12\00:10:29.52
a clear delineation
between truth and error,
00:10:29.56\00:10:32.56
that all may
have sufficient light
00:10:32.59\00:10:34.16
to make their decision.
00:10:34.20\00:10:35.96
Then the genuine seeker of truth
00:10:36.00\00:10:37.63
is able to
untangle himself from error,
00:10:37.67\00:10:40.34
and those who choose not
to are left without excuse.
00:10:40.37\00:10:43.94
For this purpose God sends
the second angel's message.
00:10:43.97\00:10:47.71
And there followed
another angel, saying,
00:11:13.30\00:11:16.04
Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city,
00:11:16.07\00:11:19.77
because she made all
nations drink of the wine
00:11:19.81\00:11:22.38
of the wrath of her fornication.
00:11:22.41\00:11:24.45
Now what is the wine?
00:11:33.02\00:11:35.22
Wine represents false
doctrine in scripture.
00:11:35.26\00:11:38.89
Wine is a mocker,
strong drink is raging:
00:11:38.93\00:11:41.86
and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise.
00:11:41.90\00:11:45.27
The effect of
this wine is deception
00:11:45.30\00:11:47.50
because it is fermented wine
00:11:47.54\00:11:49.24
which leads people
away from the truth.
00:11:49.27\00:11:52.57
So in contrast to
the first angel's message
00:11:52.61\00:11:55.18
which presents true doctrine,
00:11:55.21\00:11:58.65
Babylon is preaching
wine or false doctrine.
00:11:58.68\00:12:02.92
The darkness of
night obscures from view,
00:12:11.93\00:12:14.86
the truth about
the world around us,
00:12:14.90\00:12:17.23
confusion like the
darkness had concealed from us
00:12:17.27\00:12:20.47
the truth about
the character of God.
00:12:20.50\00:12:22.70
False doctrine is an
idea, they are like the trees
00:12:25.04\00:12:27.01
of the forest that
change with the seasons.
00:12:27.04\00:12:29.44
They blow about in the wind,
00:12:29.48\00:12:30.81
and rise and fall
through the centuries.
00:12:30.85\00:12:34.22
There's only one way
to dispel the darkness,
00:12:34.25\00:12:36.79
and that is with light.
00:12:36.82\00:12:38.95
Peter tells us, "We have a
more sure word of prophecy,
00:12:42.62\00:12:45.76
whereunto ye do
well that ye take heed,
00:12:45.79\00:12:48.53
as unto a light that
shineth in a dark place."
00:12:48.56\00:12:51.33
And with the light
from these prophecies,
00:12:51.37\00:12:53.37
we are able to identify
the system called Babylon.
00:12:53.40\00:12:57.51
The system of
Babylon is reflected
00:13:01.41\00:13:04.41
by this woman in Revelation 17.
00:13:04.45\00:13:08.85
So he carried me away
00:13:08.88\00:13:10.22
in the spirit
into the wilderness:
00:13:10.25\00:13:11.95
and I saw a woman sit
upon a scarlet colored beast,
00:13:11.99\00:13:14.92
full of names of blasphemy,
00:13:14.96\00:13:16.73
having seven
heads and ten horns.
00:13:16.76\00:13:19.83
The first three
symbols that help us
00:13:19.86\00:13:21.63
to identify
Babylon are the woman,
00:13:21.66\00:13:24.37
the beast, and the seven heads.
00:13:24.40\00:13:27.77
In order to arrive at a correct
understanding of these symbols,
00:13:27.80\00:13:30.94
we must allow the
Bible to define them for us.
00:13:30.97\00:13:34.08
So here's what
God has to say about
00:13:34.11\00:13:35.91
the prophetic
symbol of the woman.
00:13:35.94\00:13:38.85
I have likened
the daughter of Zion
00:13:38.88\00:13:40.75
to a comely and delicate woman.
00:13:40.78\00:13:43.25
Zion was the name
given to the people of God.
00:13:43.28\00:13:46.02
As we read in Isaiah...
00:13:46.05\00:13:47.66
Say unto Zion,
Thou art my people.
00:13:47.69\00:13:52.09
So in the Old Testament,
a woman is used by God
00:13:52.13\00:13:54.66
as a symbol to
represent His people.
00:13:54.70\00:13:57.83
In the New
Testament, a woman still is used
00:13:57.87\00:14:00.50
to represent God's people
in the form of His church.
00:14:00.54\00:14:03.97
For this cause shall a man leave
00:14:04.01\00:14:05.81
his father and mother,
00:14:05.84\00:14:07.18
and shall be
joined unto his wife,
00:14:07.21\00:14:08.61
for they two shall be one flesh.
00:14:08.64\00:14:10.91
This is a great mystery:
00:14:10.95\00:14:12.28
but I speak concerning
Christ and the church.
00:14:12.31\00:14:16.48
In the Book of
Revelation, there are two women.
00:14:16.52\00:14:19.05
One is a virgin dressed in white
00:14:19.09\00:14:20.56
representing God's church.
00:14:20.59\00:14:22.66
And the other woman
named Babylon is a harlot,
00:14:22.69\00:14:25.69
meaning she represents
the counterfeit church.
00:14:25.73\00:14:28.56
And she is the one
sitting upon a beast.
00:14:28.60\00:14:33.17
Once again, allowing the Bible
to interpret its own symbols,
00:14:33.20\00:14:36.57
we turn to the Book of Daniel
00:14:36.60\00:14:37.94
to define the
symbol of the beast.
00:14:37.97\00:14:40.64
The fourth beast shall be
the fourth kingdom upon earth.
00:14:40.68\00:14:43.95
According to
Daniel, a beast is a symbol
00:14:43.98\00:14:46.18
for a kingdom or a nation.
00:14:46.21\00:14:48.88
Since the Bible uses a
woman as symbol for a church,
00:14:48.92\00:14:51.92
and the beast for
a symbol of a nation,
00:14:51.95\00:14:54.29
then this symbol of a woman
00:14:54.32\00:14:55.99
sitting upon a beast
is a symbol of a church
00:14:56.02\00:14:58.39
in control of a
nation or a kingdom.
00:14:58.43\00:15:00.56
In other words,
this nation is both
00:15:00.60\00:15:02.46
a church and state power.
00:15:02.50\00:15:06.20
Next, John says that
this beast has seven heads,
00:15:06.23\00:15:09.30
and the Bible tells us
what these heads represent
00:15:09.34\00:15:11.94
just six verses later.
00:15:11.97\00:15:14.28
And here is the
mind which hath wisdom.
00:15:14.31\00:15:16.51
The seven heads
are seven mountains,
00:15:16.54\00:15:18.81
on which the woman sitteth.
00:15:18.85\00:15:20.65
The fact that this
woman sits upon this beast
00:15:20.68\00:15:22.78
with seven heads,
tells us this church
00:15:22.82\00:15:25.05
and state power is
located near seven mountains.
00:15:25.09\00:15:28.52
John goes on to
describe this woman in detail.
00:15:28.56\00:15:31.93
And the woman was arrayed
in purple and scarlet color,
00:15:31.96\00:15:34.96
and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls,
00:15:35.00\00:15:37.87
having a golden cup in
her hand full of abominations
00:15:37.90\00:15:40.67
and filthiness
of her fornication.
00:15:40.70\00:15:43.00
And upon her
forehead was a name written,
00:15:43.04\00:15:45.34
Mystery, Babylon The Great,
00:15:45.37\00:15:47.28
The Mother Of Harlots And
Abominations Of The Earth.
00:15:47.31\00:15:52.01
Our fourth clue
is that this woman
00:15:52.05\00:15:53.88
or church named Babylon
is described as a harlot,
00:15:53.92\00:15:57.25
meaning she has
committed adultery against God
00:15:57.29\00:15:59.42
by forsaking His covenant.
00:15:59.45\00:16:01.59
So this church does
not represent God's people.
00:16:01.62\00:16:04.49
Instead, it
represents a counterfeit church.
00:16:04.53\00:16:08.06
Our fifth characteristic
is the woman's appearance.
00:16:08.10\00:16:11.07
She is described being arrayed
with purple and scarlet colors,
00:16:11.10\00:16:14.97
having allowed the Bible
to define its own symbols,
00:16:15.00\00:16:18.01
we see God telling us,
00:16:18.04\00:16:19.54
Babylon is a
church and state power
00:16:19.57\00:16:21.64
located around seven mountains,
and it is a counterfeit church
00:16:21.68\00:16:25.21
that appears primarily in
purple and scarlet colors.
00:16:25.25\00:16:29.28
There's only one church
00:16:29.32\00:16:30.65
that fits this
definitive description,
00:16:30.69\00:16:32.42
the Roman Catholic
Church, also known as a papacy.
00:16:32.45\00:16:35.49
So let's
investigate the evidence
00:16:35.52\00:16:37.16
for this conclusion.
00:16:37.19\00:16:39.13
Vatican City is the only church
and state nation in the world.
00:16:39.16\00:16:42.93
It is known as the
city on seven hills,
00:16:42.96\00:16:45.37
and its primary colors
are purple and scarlet.
00:16:45.40\00:16:48.47
During the
Protestant Reformation,
00:17:10.59\00:17:12.56
many of the reformers
including Thomas Cranmer,
00:17:12.59\00:17:15.16
John Wesley, William Tyndale,
00:17:15.20\00:17:17.30
John Wycliffe,
Philippe Melongton,
00:17:17.33\00:17:19.63
Jan Hus, Martin Luther,
00:17:19.67\00:17:21.10
and hundreds of others
all concluded the papacy
00:17:21.14\00:17:24.37
was the harlot of Babylon
identified in the scriptures.
00:17:24.41\00:17:27.68
I for my part will
set free my own mind
00:17:32.25\00:17:34.78
and deliver my
conscience by declaring aloud
00:17:34.82\00:17:37.29
to the pope and to all papists
00:17:37.32\00:17:39.29
that the papacy is
in truth nothing else
00:17:39.32\00:17:42.22
than the kingdom of
Babylon and of very antichrist.
00:17:42.26\00:17:45.59
For who is the man of
sin and the son of perdition
00:17:45.63\00:17:48.60
but he who by his
teaching and his ordinances
00:17:48.63\00:17:51.43
increases the sin
00:17:51.47\00:17:52.80
and perdition of
souls in the church
00:17:52.83\00:17:54.50
while he yet sits in the church
00:17:54.54\00:17:56.27
as if he were God all
these conditions of now
00:17:56.30\00:17:59.17
for many ages been
fulfilled by the people tyranny.
00:17:59.21\00:18:02.54
First Principles
of the Reformation,
00:18:02.58\00:18:04.15
by Martin Luther, page 197.
00:18:04.18\00:18:06.51
The second angel's
message is a warning
00:18:15.46\00:18:17.19
against the wine of Babylon,
00:18:17.23\00:18:19.03
and the intoxicating
influence of its false doctrines
00:18:19.06\00:18:21.76
which have
deceived the entire world.
00:18:21.80\00:18:23.97
Yes, even the Christian world.
00:18:24.00\00:18:26.37
This great feat was
not accomplished at once,
00:18:26.40\00:18:28.87
but subtly over
several centuries.
00:18:28.90\00:18:31.04
That gives you a
little bit of an idea
00:18:34.61\00:18:35.94
of the quality of production,
00:18:35.98\00:18:37.31
and this production
is really diversified.
00:18:37.35\00:18:39.35
So if you got the
DVD or went to YouTube
00:18:39.38\00:18:41.78
and watch the
other presentations,
00:18:41.82\00:18:43.18
you'd see a lot of
the other reenactments
00:18:43.22\00:18:45.29
and things that we've done
00:18:45.32\00:18:46.65
'cause this production
is extremely diversified.
00:18:46.69\00:18:49.59
Now, Mike, we got
one more clip coming up
00:18:49.62\00:18:51.03
that's kind of a
short one, and it's dealing
00:18:51.06\00:18:53.73
with the second
coming of Christ, right?
00:18:53.76\00:18:57.13
It's kind of an
outro for the part three.
00:18:57.17\00:19:00.24
So what we're doing is
we're coming out of part three,
00:19:00.27\00:19:01.97
introducing the concepts
00:19:02.00\00:19:03.34
that we're gonna be
discussing them in part four.
00:19:03.37\00:19:04.91
Okay, let's roll that.
00:19:04.94\00:19:06.57
So when Christ
presence comes again,
00:19:09.38\00:19:11.65
when Christ
comes the second time,
00:19:11.68\00:19:14.62
we're told that this
earth will basically be left
00:19:14.65\00:19:19.72
in a state that is uninhabitable
00:19:19.75\00:19:22.02
because of the fire
and the presence of God.
00:19:22.06\00:19:25.63
Our God is a consuming fire.
00:19:25.66\00:19:28.86
When He returns to
the earth, Paul writes,
00:19:28.90\00:19:31.23
the Lord Jesus shall
be revealed from heaven
00:19:31.27\00:19:33.40
with His mighty
angels in flaming fire.
00:19:33.44\00:19:37.11
He will return
as a consuming fire
00:19:37.14\00:19:39.47
because Jesus will not only come
00:19:39.51\00:19:42.01
as the human being that He was
when He walked upon this earth.
00:19:42.04\00:19:45.38
He will come as King of
kings and Lord of lords.
00:19:45.41\00:19:48.08
In other words, His
glory will no longer be veiled.
00:19:48.12\00:19:51.62
The day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night
00:19:51.65\00:19:54.29
in which the
heavens shall pass away
00:19:54.32\00:19:56.22
with a great noise and
the elements shall melt
00:19:56.26\00:19:58.73
with a fervent
heat and the heavens
00:19:58.76\00:20:00.80
being on fire
shall be dissolved.
00:20:00.83\00:20:03.47
A fire goeth before Him
00:20:03.50\00:20:05.43
and burneth up His
enemies round about.
00:20:05.47\00:20:07.84
The hills melted like wax
at the presence of the Lord.
00:20:07.87\00:20:10.97
At the presence of the
Lord of the whole earth,
00:20:11.01\00:20:13.58
the fishes of the sea,
and the fowls of the heaven,
00:20:13.61\00:20:16.38
and the beasts of the field,
00:20:16.41\00:20:17.88
and all creeping things
that creep upon the earth,
00:20:17.91\00:20:20.55
and all the men that are
upon on the face of the earth
00:20:20.58\00:20:23.22
shall shake at my presence.
00:20:23.25\00:20:25.05
And the mountains
shall be thrown down
00:20:25.09\00:20:26.76
and the steep places shall fall
00:20:26.79\00:20:28.62
and every wall
shall fall to the ground.
00:20:28.66\00:20:31.23
All the cities
thereof were broken down
00:20:31.26\00:20:33.53
at the presence of the Lord.
00:20:33.56\00:20:35.46
The earth is
utterly broken down,
00:20:35.50\00:20:37.73
the earth is clean dissolved.
00:20:37.77\00:20:39.57
The earth is moved exceedingly.
00:20:39.60\00:20:41.87
The earth shall reel
to and fro like a drunkard
00:20:41.90\00:20:44.84
and shall be
removed like a cottage.
00:20:44.87\00:20:47.11
Our God shall come and
shall not keep silence.
00:20:47.14\00:20:50.11
A fire shall devour before Him
00:20:50.15\00:20:52.58
and it shall be very
tempestuous round about Him.
00:20:52.61\00:20:55.62
The mountains quake
at Him and the hills melt
00:20:55.65\00:20:58.62
and the earth is
burned at His presence,
00:20:58.65\00:21:00.92
yea the world and
all that dwell therein.
00:21:00.96\00:21:04.39
So what we're
looking at in the section
00:21:07.86\00:21:09.53
of what we just
saw, is a lot of verses
00:21:09.56\00:21:11.80
talking about the
second coming of Christ,
00:21:11.83\00:21:14.47
and how conceptually
our God is a consuming fire,
00:21:14.50\00:21:16.91
and how when heat
returns to this earth,
00:21:16.94\00:21:19.94
the earth is going
to be destroyed by fire.
00:21:19.97\00:21:22.24
And there is a
really interesting reason
00:21:22.28\00:21:24.81
that we're looking at this,
00:21:24.85\00:21:26.25
and introducing this
as a concept of part four
00:21:26.28\00:21:28.42
'cause this is what we,
the concepts we bring out
00:21:28.45\00:21:30.29
in part four of
The Days of Noah,
00:21:30.32\00:21:32.15
is looking at what
it means to be prepared
00:21:32.19\00:21:34.52
to meet Jesus when He comes.
00:21:34.56\00:21:36.52
And so we know that our
God is a consuming fire,
00:21:36.56\00:21:39.29
and Isaiah makes a
statement, and he says,
00:21:39.33\00:21:43.43
"For who among I shall dwell
with the everlasting burning,
00:21:43.47\00:21:45.40
who among I shall dwell
with the devouring fire?"
00:21:45.43\00:21:47.87
And then he answers
that question and says,
00:21:47.90\00:21:49.84
"He the waketh righteously."
00:21:49.87\00:21:52.14
So only the
righteous will be able to dwell
00:21:52.17\00:21:54.28
in the midst of
the consuming fire.
00:21:54.31\00:21:55.88
And the reason that's
important is because Noah
00:21:55.91\00:21:57.95
was a preacher of righteousness.
00:21:57.98\00:21:59.71
And so we need to go back
00:21:59.75\00:22:01.08
and look at the message of Noah,
00:22:01.12\00:22:02.75
as it will help
us to be prepared
00:22:02.78\00:22:04.35
for Christ's second coming.
00:22:04.39\00:22:05.82
I think it's
also really important
00:22:05.85\00:22:07.36
to mention to our viewers that,
00:22:07.39\00:22:09.46
this production is not a merely
entertainment based production.
00:22:09.49\00:22:12.76
In other words,
it's not something
00:22:12.79\00:22:14.13
you sit down with your friends
00:22:14.16\00:22:15.50
and, "Hey, get out
a bowl of popcorn,"
00:22:15.53\00:22:16.87
or something, and sit and watch,
00:22:16.90\00:22:18.23
at the end when
you're done with it
00:22:18.27\00:22:19.60
will stick around on
your shelf with a whole bunch
00:22:19.63\00:22:20.97
of your other DVDs.
00:22:21.00\00:22:22.34
This is actually
an evangelistic tool
00:22:22.37\00:22:23.71
that is
jam-packed with information
00:22:23.74\00:22:26.47
dealing with the first, second,
and the third angel's message.
00:22:26.51\00:22:29.11
And we are having workbook
00:22:29.14\00:22:30.48
just gonna go
along with these DVDs.
00:22:30.51\00:22:33.01
And these
workbooks could be used on
00:22:33.05\00:22:34.48
one to one basis
as the person watches
00:22:34.52\00:22:36.52
the television
himself and plays the DVD,
00:22:36.55\00:22:39.62
or they could do
it in a home setting,
00:22:39.65\00:22:41.02
it's like a Bible study group,
00:22:41.06\00:22:42.39
and go through
segments of these DVDs,
00:22:42.42\00:22:44.46
and follow
through with the workbook.
00:22:44.49\00:22:46.16
Or you could actually
use it in the church setting
00:22:46.19\00:22:47.86
and advertise it
for the local community,
00:22:47.90\00:22:49.90
have people come in,
00:22:49.93\00:22:51.27
play it on a big screen
in front of the sanctuary
00:22:51.30\00:22:54.07
and the church.
00:22:54.10\00:22:55.44
And then go follow
up with a moderator
00:22:55.47\00:22:57.51
or a team leader that,
00:22:57.54\00:22:59.11
there's questions and
answers using a workbook.
00:22:59.14\00:23:01.41
So this is gonna be a really
powerful evangelistic tool.
00:23:01.44\00:23:04.28
It's not something
you're gonna stick on your shelf
00:23:04.31\00:23:06.01
after you're done watching it.
00:23:06.05\00:23:07.45
This is something that
you're gonna be able to share,
00:23:07.48\00:23:10.05
and to give, and to use
in a lot of different ways,
00:23:10.09\00:23:12.02
and I'm really excited
about that aspect of using
00:23:12.05\00:23:15.16
The Days of
Noah as a study tool.
00:23:15.19\00:23:19.19
One of the
problems that we've had
00:23:19.23\00:23:20.60
where we are at
right now is our,
00:23:20.63\00:23:22.30
our budget is
extremely low on the project,
00:23:22.33\00:23:24.43
we're close to
wrapping up everything.
00:23:24.47\00:23:26.94
We got all the editing done.
00:23:26.97\00:23:29.30
What kind of things are we
looking at we still need to do,
00:23:29.34\00:23:31.41
Mike, really quickly?
00:23:31.44\00:23:33.38
Well, we're
looking at finishing up
00:23:33.41\00:23:34.91
the rest of the 3D animations,
00:23:34.94\00:23:36.61
and then some of
the biggest expenses
00:23:36.64\00:23:38.55
that we have coming up.
00:23:38.58\00:23:40.25
First and foremost is labor
still to finish the project.
00:23:40.28\00:23:42.75
We've also have to
purchase lot of stock footage,
00:23:42.78\00:23:46.96
footage to go along
with the interview content,
00:23:46.99\00:23:49.06
and then music,
00:23:49.09\00:23:50.43
and I think it's
the stock footage and...
00:23:50.46\00:23:53.29
And then taking
the, editing is probably
00:23:53.33\00:23:55.00
what you think,
like 70-80% finished...
00:23:55.03\00:23:57.50
Yeah, the
content, the interviews
00:23:57.53\00:23:58.90
for the
documentary is already edited.
00:23:58.93\00:24:00.67
So really at this
point we already have
00:24:00.70\00:24:02.84
the skeleton done,
00:24:02.87\00:24:04.57
and that's even
more than that done.
00:24:04.61\00:24:06.37
But now, we're just
kind of flushing it in,
00:24:06.41\00:24:08.88
putting in the 3D animations,
finishing up the visuals
00:24:08.91\00:24:11.61
to go over the
top of the content.
00:24:11.65\00:24:13.82
If you'd like to know more about
00:24:13.85\00:24:15.18
current updates
little caveat things
00:24:15.22\00:24:16.92
are taken out of
daily productions such,
00:24:16.95\00:24:19.25
we put that on The Days
of Noah film Facebook page.
00:24:19.29\00:24:23.53
That's what it's
called, right? Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:23.56\00:24:24.89
Days of Noah film.
00:24:24.93\00:24:26.26
And you could
find that by searching
00:24:26.29\00:24:27.63
in your Facebook page.
00:24:27.66\00:24:29.00
Also as
production is wrapping up,
00:24:29.03\00:24:30.37
we've been
really tight on funds,
00:24:30.40\00:24:31.73
and if you'd
like to get involved
00:24:31.77\00:24:33.10
with helping us
finish this production,
00:24:33.13\00:24:34.54
I would encourage you to donate
00:24:34.57\00:24:35.90
to Laymen Ministries for
the Days of Noah project.
00:24:35.94\00:24:37.97
You can do that
online, and you can make secure
00:24:38.01\00:24:40.78
online donations there,
or you can call our office
00:24:40.81\00:24:43.28
and talk with one

00:24:43.31\00:24:44.71
and make a
donation by credit card
00:24:44.75\00:24:46.98
right over the telephone.
00:24:47.02\00:24:48.55
One of the interesting
00:24:48.58\00:24:49.92
and unique
things about this film
00:24:49.95\00:24:51.89
is that there's never
been a film like this,
00:24:51.92\00:24:55.09
kind of over covering
a big picture perspective
00:24:55.12\00:24:58.09
of the three angels' messages,
and the Bible prophecy.
00:24:58.13\00:25:00.73
And like I explained earlier,
00:25:00.76\00:25:02.10
we go through
establishing the judgment,
00:25:02.13\00:25:04.03
looking at the
first angel's message,
00:25:04.07\00:25:06.13
how that came about,
00:25:06.17\00:25:07.50
and then we dive into
00:25:07.54\00:25:08.87
looking at the
second angel's message,
00:25:08.90\00:25:10.24
how Noah called the
people out of false worship,
00:25:10.27\00:25:12.51
out of idolatry.
00:25:12.54\00:25:14.08
And then
introducing the concepts
00:25:14.11\00:25:15.51
of the third angel's message,
00:25:15.54\00:25:16.88
how that took place
in Noah's day and today.
00:25:16.91\00:25:19.78
And so it really does
take the viewer step by step
00:25:19.81\00:25:23.39
on a chronological
journey if you will,
00:25:23.42\00:25:26.52
through the
three angels' messages,
00:25:26.55\00:25:28.42
and through a lot,
you know, the messages
00:25:28.46\00:25:30.13
that we've been
given to give to the world.
00:25:30.16\00:25:31.53
I know that a lot of people
00:25:31.56\00:25:32.89
had a misconception
about this production,
00:25:32.93\00:25:34.50
and they thought
it was just basically
00:25:34.53\00:25:36.43
another video dealing
with, like, the flood story,
00:25:36.46\00:25:39.63
and evidences of the
flood, and things like that.
00:25:39.67\00:25:41.84
But it's like, you
shared earlier about the fact
00:25:41.87\00:25:44.04
that this is a springboard
using Noah and Noah's story
00:25:44.07\00:25:47.81
for understanding of
the three angels' messages
00:25:47.84\00:25:50.35
of Revelation 14.
00:25:50.38\00:25:52.05
Yeah, and lot of people,
even if they are not Christians
00:25:52.08\00:25:54.72
or somewhat familiar with
Noah's story conceptually,
00:25:54.75\00:25:57.32
what happened,
there was a flood,
00:25:57.35\00:25:58.69
and God saved His
people on the ark.
00:25:58.72\00:26:01.66
And it's a story that
most people are familiar with.
00:26:01.69\00:26:03.79
And so it's also a great way
00:26:03.83\00:26:05.39
to explain the
three angels' messages
00:26:05.43\00:26:07.70
because then you're
explaining the concepts
00:26:07.73\00:26:09.06
that people
aren't familiar with,
00:26:09.10\00:26:10.43
with something that
they are familiar with,
00:26:10.47\00:26:11.83
and so they can see
these three angels' messages
00:26:11.87\00:26:14.74
taking place in Noah's time,
00:26:14.77\00:26:17.11
and then understand a
little bit better contextually
00:26:17.14\00:26:19.47
how that relates
to the second coming.
00:26:19.51\00:26:21.88
And in closing I
just like to share
00:26:21.91\00:26:25.35
what is it mean to
get on the ark today?
00:26:25.38\00:26:28.75
And what does it mean to enter
into the ark of safety today?
00:26:28.78\00:26:32.29
And I think that's
gonna be a question
00:26:32.32\00:26:33.66
that a lot of people are
gonna be thinking about is,
00:26:33.69\00:26:35.99
world events are transpiring,
00:26:36.02\00:26:37.73
and I think as we
watch the news right now,
00:26:37.76\00:26:40.16
which is
completely evident most,
00:26:40.20\00:26:41.83
everybody that we live
in an unprecedented times,
00:26:41.86\00:26:43.93
and that things
could change overnight.
00:26:43.97\00:26:46.00
And a series
like this could answer
00:26:46.03\00:26:47.70
a lot of questions for people
00:26:47.74\00:26:49.07
who were
searching for Bible truth.
00:26:49.10\00:26:51.17
And it's not scary,
sad, terrible ending.
00:26:51.21\00:26:55.84
It's actually a glorious ending
00:26:55.88\00:26:57.48
of God trying to
redeem His people
00:26:57.51\00:26:59.45
and doing everything possible
00:26:59.48\00:27:01.18
to make that
redemption possible.
00:27:01.22\00:27:02.95
The deliverance of God's
people at the end of time
00:27:02.98\00:27:06.59
is going to be more
monumental and more glorious
00:27:06.62\00:27:09.39
even than God's
deliverance in the flood.
00:27:09.42\00:27:11.49
And if you think about it,
the story of God's deliverance
00:27:11.53\00:27:14.93
in the flood of His people
00:27:14.96\00:27:17.07
is just a type
of the deliverance
00:27:17.10\00:27:19.87
of His people at
the second coming.
00:27:19.90\00:27:21.80
And so the whole world was
destroyed in the Days of Noah,
00:27:21.84\00:27:24.31
the whole world
will be destroyed again.
00:27:24.34\00:27:26.37
And yet, God will
preserve His people.
00:27:26.41\00:27:28.14
And so it's a monumental event.
00:27:28.18\00:27:31.41
And like you
said with the things
00:27:31.45\00:27:32.78
that are going on
the world right now,
00:27:32.81\00:27:34.15
and certainly in
the Christian circles
00:27:34.18\00:27:35.65
right now with
Catholics and Protestants
00:27:35.68\00:27:37.72
wanting to come together,
00:27:37.75\00:27:39.82
the things that we
discussed in this film,
00:27:39.85\00:27:41.66
you know, when we interview
a lot of these people years ago
00:27:41.69\00:27:44.89
are now current events.
00:27:44.93\00:27:46.59
So time is short
00:27:46.63\00:27:47.96
and we do need to get this done.
