The harvest truly is plenteous,
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
but the laborers are few.
00:00:02.96\00:00:03.93
Pray ye therefore to the
Lord of the harvest, that
00:00:04.14\00:00:06.25
he will, he will
send forth laborers into
00:00:06.26\00:00:09.74
His harvest.
Also I heard the voice
00:00:09.75\00:00:12.24
of the Lord
saying, Whom shall I send?
00:00:12.25\00:00:14.43
And who will go for
us? Then said I, Here am I,
00:00:15.68\00:00:20.25
send me, send me. Life
On The Edge will enable
00:00:20.26\00:00:25.02
you to be an effective
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:25.03\00:00:27.31

of the Bible studies that
00:01:06.50\00:01:08.56
you we will be
studying, as we go through
00:01:08.57\00:01:09.83
this series of life
on the edge classes.
00:01:09.84\00:01:12.36
This class here
we're gonna be, talking
00:01:12.90\00:01:14.45
about today, we're
gonna be going into
00:01:14.46\00:01:16.27
the Antichrist part
1. The first part of the
00:01:16.93\00:01:17.90
Antichrist you see
that on the screen there.
00:01:18.86\00:01:20.52
Antichrist part 1 and
as we go into it we just
00:01:20.53\00:01:24.46
jump right into the
study, we'll look at the slides
00:01:24.47\00:01:26.35
here on your screen.
And the purpose of the
00:01:26.36\00:01:28.70
study is to show that
the devil seeks to deceive
00:01:28.71\00:01:31.89
us by counterfeiting the truth.
00:01:31.90\00:01:33.17
The studies that
help us to find out,
00:01:34.95\00:01:36.06
that the devil he
seeks to deceive us by
00:01:36.07\00:01:37.93
counterfeiting the
truth. There's all kinds of
00:01:37.94\00:01:40.03
things that the devil
has to try to pull us away
00:01:40.04\00:01:42.20
from what God's word
actually has to say the
00:01:42.21\00:01:43.91
truth of God's word
and what we're gonna find
00:01:43.92\00:01:45.28
out as we go through this study.
00:01:45.29\00:01:46.59
It maybe a surprise
to some folk that the
00:01:47.20\00:01:48.92
devil's opposition to
the word of God is not open,
00:01:48.93\00:01:51.44
open clear rebellious
thing its more of a subtle
00:01:52.07\00:01:54.42
imposter type thing
and that's what we're gonna
00:01:54.43\00:01:56.11
be finding out as we
go through this study.
00:01:56.12\00:01:57.86
Let us go and here
to find the center,
00:01:58.87\00:02:00.08
it's pretty simple.
The center of this study
00:02:00.09\00:02:01.53
is Jesus. You know
the Bible says unless
00:02:01.54\00:02:03.36
we know Him we
have no life in us.
00:02:03.37\00:02:05.64
And so the whole idea
of studying and finding
00:02:06.52\00:02:09.36
out who the
Antichrist is will do us no good
00:02:09.37\00:02:11.07
if you don't know
who Jesus Christ is.
00:02:11.08\00:02:12.54
So what we're
gonna do comparison,
00:02:13.19\00:02:14.94
a comparison
sort of study today.
00:02:14.95\00:02:17.54
We're gonna be
looking at what the Antichrist
00:02:17.55\00:02:19.70
is doing and what
Jesus Christ is doing and
00:02:19.71\00:02:22.01
comparing the two.
Let us go first right
00:02:23.72\00:02:25.43
after our first well I
guess before we go into
00:02:25.44\00:02:27.80
our text we look on
the screen here at all
00:02:27.81\00:02:29.89
the texts in this study
you will notice that the
00:02:29.90\00:02:31.19
antichrist study
has a lot of texts.
00:02:31.20\00:02:33.70
Most of our texts,
most of our studies that
00:02:35.12\00:02:36.41
we have about 13, 12
or 13 this is the first
00:02:36.42\00:02:39.02
page of the study
you're seeing on this screen
00:02:39.03\00:02:41.07
here. It starts off
in Revelation 12:9 and
00:02:41.08\00:02:43.93
we'll go through all
those texts and then we
00:02:43.94\00:02:45.80
will finally end up
John 17 verse 3 and that's
00:02:45.81\00:02:49.17
22nd text in the study,
seems like a lot doesn't
00:02:49.18\00:02:52.26
it? 22 texts. Now
we are gonna through
00:02:52.27\00:02:55.03
them pretty quickly
as a matter of fact,
00:02:55.04\00:02:56.36
we will probably
get all these done
00:02:56.37\00:02:57.47
in an hour's time
span, no I am just kidding,
00:02:57.48\00:02:59.26
it will take two
hours to get all this done
00:02:59.27\00:03:00.74
to get to the whole
study and we're gonna
00:03:02.15\00:03:03.33
spend little bit time
on each one and explaining
00:03:03.34\00:03:06.03
exactly why we were
saying, what we were
00:03:06.04\00:03:07.97
saying and some of
them have, need a little
00:03:07.98\00:03:09.68
more explanation than others.
00:03:09.69\00:03:10.91
So that's why
we're gonna spend so much
00:03:11.65\00:03:12.62
time on that. So
let's go and jump in to the
00:03:12.63\00:03:14.19
first part of the
study and before we get open
00:03:14.20\00:03:16.36
up our Bibles,
before we get to that part,
00:03:16.37\00:03:18.01
what does we
must always do. Pray.
00:03:18.02\00:03:20.29
We must always
pray. Spiritual things are
00:03:20.30\00:03:22.20
spiritually discerned,
so we must first ask God
00:03:22.21\00:03:24.05
for guidance, as
we open his words.
00:03:24.06\00:03:25.66
So let us bow
our heads for prayer.
00:03:25.67\00:03:26.96
Father, I wanna thank
you so much that you've
00:03:27.92\00:03:29.66
given us an
opportunity again to study
00:03:29.67\00:03:31.16
your word. I pray
Lord as we study it today
00:03:31.17\00:03:33.25
that you will
give us clear minds.
00:03:33.26\00:03:35.02
Father, I pray that
you'll speak to us out
00:03:35.75\00:03:37.23
of your word and as
we do this first part
00:03:37.24\00:03:38.69
of this Antichrist
study I ask you, you
00:03:38.70\00:03:40.76
will make it clear and
that we will understand
00:03:40.77\00:03:43.72
what is, you
wanted us see from it and
00:03:43.73\00:03:45.80
we pray this in the
name of Jesus. Amen.
00:03:45.81\00:03:47.41
All right let's go to
our first text here and
00:03:48.37\00:03:49.72
it's Revelation
chapter 12 and verse 9
00:03:49.73\00:03:51.47
we're gonna let Solita
to read that one for us,
00:03:51.48\00:03:53.34
Revelation
chapter 12 and verse 9 and
00:03:53.35\00:03:56.47
the most of the study,
I don't know if you notice
00:03:56.48\00:03:58.44
that when we had
slides upon the screen,
00:03:58.45\00:04:00.13
but most of the
study we're gonna spend
00:04:00.74\00:04:01.98
in the book of Revelation
in this comparison study.
00:04:01.99\00:04:04.68
And so Solita, go
right ahead Revelation 12 and
00:04:05.31\00:04:07.77
verse 9. And the
great dragon was cast out,
00:04:08.32\00:04:11.53
that old serpent
called the Devil and Satan,
00:04:11.54\00:04:14.45
which deceiveth the whole world:
00:04:14.46\00:04:16.00
he was cast out into the earth,
00:04:16.80\00:04:18.13
and his angels
were cast out with him.
00:04:18.14\00:04:20.04
According to this
text and this is how,
00:04:20.86\00:04:22.35
this is just like the
easiest way to open up
00:04:22.36\00:04:23.97
the Bible study, is
just simply to say this
00:04:23.98\00:04:26.20
according to this
text what is the job
00:04:26.21\00:04:28.59
of the devil.
Deceive .To deceive,
00:04:28.60\00:04:30.83
deceive who? The
whole world. So his job,
00:04:30.84\00:04:33.70
what he wants to do is
to deceive the whole world.
00:04:33.71\00:04:35.34
Now when you
think of most people,
00:04:35.89\00:04:37.37
many of the people
today, many of the other
00:04:37.38\00:04:39.20
things were taught
much of Christianity
00:04:39.21\00:04:40.78
abort the Antichrist.
Do you think of it is much
00:04:40.79\00:04:43.23
of the deception? You
know one of the things
00:04:43.24\00:04:45.28
that it comes to
mind right off to me when
00:04:45.29\00:04:46.71
I was started thinking
about this, is that the
00:04:46.72\00:04:48.85
whole left behind
series, you know that's out
00:04:48.86\00:04:51.03
there and they have this
scenario of an Antichrist,
00:04:51.04\00:04:53.79
of this guy coming
down basically saying
00:04:53.80\00:04:55.51
I am Jesus Christ
worship me. Now how many
00:04:56.12\00:04:58.32
people do you
supposed to be deceived by
00:04:58.33\00:04:59.91
that kind of satanic
movement? Like some guy
00:04:59.92\00:05:04.16
comes into the room
and says okay I'm Jesus,
00:05:04.17\00:05:06.07
start worshiping
me. Do you think a whole
00:05:06.08\00:05:07.59
lot of people are
gonna do that? Even under
00:05:07.60\00:05:09.10
penalty of death,
are there a whole lot of
00:05:09.11\00:05:10.64
people gonna do that?
No. But when you look,
00:05:10.65\00:05:12.26
when you started
reading in the Bible you find
00:05:12.27\00:05:13.87
out that many times
in the Bible it says that
00:05:13.88\00:05:16.63
speaking of the
Antichrist or the devil and
00:05:16.64\00:05:18.75
what he is doing, he
is being very deceptive.
00:05:18.76\00:05:20.40
Another text that you
can look at and compare
00:05:21.76\00:05:23.20
it to when Jesus
started talking in
00:05:23.21\00:05:24.41
Matthew chapter 24
He says three different
00:05:24.42\00:05:26.81
times its in verse, I
believe its in verse 5 and
00:05:26.82\00:05:29.27
verse, I can think
the other one in verse 24,
00:05:29.28\00:05:31.78
but its verse 24
which I wanna clue in on
00:05:32.40\00:05:33.88
Matthew 24 verse
24 there it says,
00:05:33.89\00:05:35.88
He says there are many
false Christs and false
00:05:35.89\00:05:37.50
prophets if they
were possible they would
00:05:37.51\00:05:38.83
deceive even the very elect.
00:05:38.84\00:05:40.77
So Jesus himself
speaking of the last days and
00:05:41.37\00:05:43.22
what's gonna be
going on talking about the
00:05:43.23\00:05:44.74
Antichrist power this
false Christs and false
00:05:44.75\00:05:46.79
prophets, He says if
it is possible these guys
00:05:46.80\00:05:48.86
will be, it will
actually deceive the very elect.
00:05:48.87\00:05:51.06
But most of the ideas
when we think of Antichrist,
00:05:51.85\00:05:54.20
is not very deceptive.
On the contrary rather
00:05:54.88\00:05:58.22
than deceptive
it's pretty obvious,
00:05:58.23\00:05:59.57
widely obvious some
of the things they want.
00:05:59.58\00:06:01.26
They want to
present out there I mean
00:06:01.62\00:06:03.50
the devil would have
us, if the devil knows that
00:06:03.51\00:06:05.57
he is gonna be very
deceptive in basically
00:06:05.58\00:06:07.70
deceiving people, if
he didn't get other people
00:06:07.71\00:06:10.57
to make it look like
its not deceptive in other
00:06:10.58\00:06:12.84
words make it so
obvious that there's no
00:06:12.85\00:06:14.45
way that I can fall
for that. Then he can come
00:06:14.46\00:06:16.75
in and suddenly bring
in heresy or the deception,
00:06:16.76\00:06:19.93
and that's the purpose there.
00:06:20.32\00:06:21.29
And the Bible tells
us he went out to deceive
00:06:21.65\00:06:23.26
the whole world
that's his job is to deceive
00:06:23.27\00:06:26.15
the whole world. And
our job is to find out what
00:06:26.16\00:06:28.74
the truth is so that
we're not deceived by
00:06:28.75\00:06:31.03
his deceptions.
You know the whole idea
00:06:31.04\00:06:33.63
about the counterfeit money.
00:06:33.64\00:06:34.76
You know why counterfeiter don't
00:06:34.77\00:06:36.49
counterfeit $13
bill, don't you? Right.
00:06:36.50\00:06:39.59
There is no original $13
bill, there is no original
00:06:40.18\00:06:42.64
so they don't
counterfeit a $13 bill and then
00:06:42.65\00:06:44.64
I could ask you how
many of you are handled
00:06:44.65\00:06:46.78
a counterfeit $20
bill? And likely every one
00:06:46.79\00:06:49.78
of you handled a
counterfeit $20 bill.
00:06:49.79\00:06:52.13
You've held one before
you just didn't know it.
00:06:52.73\00:06:54.39
And I saw a TV
program one time on this guy,
00:06:55.59\00:06:57.45
he was a professional
at picking out counterfeit
00:06:58.88\00:07:01.63
money, I mean that
was what his job was and
00:07:01.64\00:07:03.60
basically all he does,
all they do when people
00:07:03.61\00:07:06.17
that do that they just
study actual real money,
00:07:06.18\00:07:08.46
the real thing they
study it. And they give this
00:07:08.47\00:07:10.82
guy a stack of $20
bill, it was like that maybe
00:07:10.83\00:07:13.62
100 of them or
something like that,
00:07:13.63\00:07:14.60
of $20 bills and
there was three counterfeits
00:07:14.61\00:07:17.03
in there. Three
counterfeits $20 bills in
00:07:17.04\00:07:18.75
that stack and he said
see if you can find them.
00:07:18.76\00:07:20.14
And the guy went to
the stack like this,
00:07:20.67\00:07:21.64
he is counting,
counting and he pulled that
00:07:22.94\00:07:24.34
one out, count on,
count on, pull that one out.
00:07:24.35\00:07:25.92
He pulled out the
three counterfeit $20 bills,
00:07:27.15\00:07:28.55
now if you and I
would took the three
00:07:29.00\00:07:30.03
counterfeits and
compared to the original,
00:07:30.04\00:07:31.31
we would have a
real, real tough time to
00:07:31.67\00:07:33.00
figure out which
one, figure out the
00:07:33.01\00:07:34.61
difference, but the
guy can do just like that.
00:07:34.62\00:07:35.61
And the reason that
guy was able to do that
00:07:36.48\00:07:37.55
because he spend his
life, he spend his time
00:07:38.28\00:07:39.91
studying real,
and. So its important to
00:07:40.62\00:07:43.70
understand who the
Antichrist is and what
00:07:43.71\00:07:45.41
his deceptions
are, and we're gonna,
00:07:45.42\00:07:46.41
that's we are gonna
be studying as we go
00:07:46.42\00:07:47.60
through this. But
remember his job is to
00:07:47.61\00:07:50.06
deceive and so if he
can make his original
00:07:50.07\00:07:53.92
or what he has looked
so close to the original
00:07:53.93\00:07:56.16
that you are not
can tell the difference,
00:07:56.17\00:07:57.40
then he's got us,
you aware that the devil
00:07:58.01\00:07:59.94
doesn't care how he
gets us to worship him?
00:07:59.95\00:08:01.45
He doesn't care.
God is very particular,
00:08:02.96\00:08:04.05
you know God has his
specific times and he
00:08:04.06\00:08:06.95
has specific ways
and different things that
00:08:06.96\00:08:08.70
he wants us to
worship but the devil,
00:08:08.71\00:08:09.76
his job is to
deceive us to make us think,
00:08:09.77\00:08:11.32
every thing is okay
when actually its not.
00:08:11.33\00:08:13.17
That's I guess a good
definition of deception
00:08:13.92\00:08:15.78
isn't it? Do you think
that every thing is okay,
00:08:15.79\00:08:17.43
when actually it's not
okay? So the devil's job
00:08:17.44\00:08:20.51
is to deceive and now
we're gonna go onto our
00:08:20.52\00:08:22.34
first part of this
text, we are getting into the
00:08:22.35\00:08:24.40
comparison part now.
We just wanted to lay
00:08:24.41\00:08:26.32
that out at the
beginning kind of lay that
00:08:26.33\00:08:28.03
foundation there that
the idea that the devil
00:08:28.04\00:08:30.59
wants us to think
everything is okay when
00:08:31.27\00:08:32.82
its not. Now we're
gonna find out how it is
00:08:32.83\00:08:34.33
that he counterfeits
the truths that God has.
00:08:34.34\00:08:36.12
And the first counterfeit
we're gonna be looking
00:08:37.35\00:08:38.57
at and this is gonna
kind of lead into the,
00:08:38.58\00:08:40.00
to the whole rest of the
study, it will everything
00:08:40.01\00:08:42.13
else who kind of
funnel down through this first
00:08:42.14\00:08:44.03
couple of texts we to
look at, and we're gonna
00:08:44.04\00:08:45.82
find out that God has
a trinity and the devil
00:08:45.83\00:08:48.63
has a counterfeit
trinity. Now let us first go
00:08:48.64\00:08:51.50
to the book of Matthew
chapter 28 and verse 19.
00:08:51.51\00:08:53.75
Matthew 28 and verse
19 is our second study
00:08:53.76\00:08:58.10
our second text, I'll
put it on the screen up
00:08:58.11\00:09:00.10
here Matthew 28:19,
Here it is on your screen
00:09:00.11\00:09:02.87
and we're gonna
have Jessica to read that
00:09:02.88\00:09:06.64
one for us. Matthew
Chapter 28 and verse 19
00:09:06.65\00:09:13.28
let me get there
myself. Okay! I Am there
00:09:13.77\00:09:16.58
Jessica go ahead
sister. Therefore go and make
00:09:16.59\00:09:20.00
disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the
00:09:20.01\00:09:23.61
name of the Father and
the Son and Holy Spirit.
00:09:23.62\00:09:26.44
All right, So Jesus
here is speaking and he
00:09:27.56\00:09:29.93
names he says go
Baptize, Go Baptize everybody
00:09:29.94\00:09:33.35
go preach the
gospel everywhere and after
00:09:33.36\00:09:34.93
you preach them
never fail to baptize them.
00:09:34.94\00:09:36.76
And with an baptize
them, baptize them in the
00:09:36.77\00:09:38.08
name of the Father and
the Son and Holy Spirit.
00:09:38.09\00:09:39.53
And with an indication
of trinity there the father,
00:09:40.21\00:09:41.96
Son, the Holy Ghost.
Now I know that there's
00:09:41.97\00:09:43.85
people that will look at
and say oh wait a minute,
00:09:43.86\00:09:46.77
I don't believe in that
trinity doctrine and then
00:09:47.58\00:09:48.90
they have a whole,
you know arguments and
00:09:48.91\00:09:50.77
letting things, they
would like to say about that.
00:09:50.78\00:09:52.53
Well I got, since I
was thinking about this
00:09:53.08\00:09:55.18
before we've done
this study and we really
00:09:55.19\00:09:56.50
don't have a study on
the trinity that we do
00:09:56.51\00:09:58.93
through this 24 Bible
studies that we do here
00:09:58.94\00:10:01.14
at Life On The Edge.
So what I wanted to do
00:10:01.15\00:10:03.30
is just spend a few
moments here and show
00:10:03.31\00:10:04.82
you a few texts from the Bible.
00:10:04.83\00:10:05.96
They would, they help
to back this up a little
00:10:06.50\00:10:08.11
bit indicate, why we
believe it, and there
00:10:08.12\00:10:10.82
is a trinity that God
is that in fact a trinity,
00:10:10.83\00:10:13.19
one God three separate beings.
00:10:13.20\00:10:14.78
Let me just show
you a couple of them
00:10:15.30\00:10:16.27
right now. You know
one I like to turn to is
00:10:16.28\00:10:18.89
in the Old Testament,
it's in the book of Genesis.
00:10:18.90\00:10:21.03
Right, the very
first book of the Bible.
00:10:22.12\00:10:23.53
Very first chapter of the Bible.
00:10:24.79\00:10:25.76
You find in verse
one it says, In the
00:10:26.28\00:10:29.36
beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.
00:10:29.37\00:10:31.04
And the earth was
without form, and void;
00:10:31.54\00:10:33.48
and darkness was
upon the face of the deep.
00:10:33.49\00:10:35.23
And the Spirit of
God moved upon the face
00:10:35.24\00:10:37.47
of the waters. So
you have like the spirit,
00:10:37.48\00:10:39.97
the Holy Spirit of
God doing something there,
00:10:39.98\00:10:41.77
He is moving upon
the face of the waters,
00:10:41.78\00:10:42.98
you see that.
Now from that place,
00:10:42.99\00:10:46.15
let's go to the
same chapter Matthew,
00:10:46.16\00:10:47.79
in Genesis chapter 1
and verse 26, 27 and 28,
00:10:47.80\00:10:52.22
we're gonna read
those, actually we may just
00:10:52.23\00:10:55.34
read verse 26
here, And God said let us
00:10:55.35\00:10:58.31
make man in our
image after our likeness,
00:10:58.88\00:11:00.92
who is our? And this
is God's speaking right,
00:11:00.93\00:11:04.03
He said let us make man
in our image and there's
00:11:04.04\00:11:06.01
another
indication of that, well now,
00:11:06.02\00:11:07.53
let's go to the stay in
Genesis, we're just gonna
00:11:07.54\00:11:09.95
go through to a
few texts real quick.
00:11:09.96\00:11:11.04
Go to verse in chapter
11, Genesis chapter 11,
00:11:11.05\00:11:13.02
this is a real
interesting one too to kind
00:11:13.03\00:11:15.20
of show where God
can refer to things that
00:11:15.21\00:11:18.06
are multiple in
singular form and He refers
00:11:18.07\00:11:21.23
to things that are
singular in multiple form.
00:11:21.24\00:11:22.90
Right. Let us look at
this Genesis chapter 11
00:11:23.49\00:11:25.61
starting in verse 1.
The whole earth was of
00:11:26.30\00:11:27.96
one language and of one speech.
00:11:27.97\00:11:29.49
And it came to pass
as they journey from
00:11:30.68\00:11:32.17
the east that they
found a plain in the land
00:11:32.18\00:11:33.95
of Shinar and they dwelt there.
00:11:33.96\00:11:35.07
And they said to one
another let us make us
00:11:35.08\00:11:37.17
brick and burn them thoroughly.
00:11:37.18\00:11:39.22
And they had brick
for stone and slime they
00:11:40.14\00:11:41.52
had for mortar. And
they said go to let us
00:11:41.53\00:11:44.84
build us a city and
a tower whose top may
00:11:45.41\00:11:48.62
reach unto the
heaven, and let us make us
00:11:48.63\00:11:51.07
a name lest we be
scattered abroad upon the
00:11:51.08\00:11:52.95
face of the earth.
You hear there are all the
00:11:52.96\00:11:54.10
multiple things there
us, as we, all that going on.
00:11:54.11\00:11:56.09
Look what it says, it
goes on, And the Lord,
00:11:56.79\00:11:58.67
the Lord, now how many
is that, its only talking
00:11:58.68\00:12:01.29
about one there
right? The Lord came down
00:12:01.30\00:12:03.02
to see the City and the
tower which the children
00:12:03.03\00:12:04.89
of men built. And
the Lord said behold the
00:12:04.90\00:12:07.51
people are one, were they one?
00:12:07.52\00:12:09.81
No they were actually
multiple people around
00:12:10.83\00:12:12.05
right, what this is
one person but he is
00:12:12.06\00:12:13.48
talking about to
come together in one.
00:12:13.49\00:12:14.91
They are one and
they have one language and
00:12:15.77\00:12:17.45
this they begin to do
and now nothing will be
00:12:17.46\00:12:19.51
restrained from them
which they imagined to do.
00:12:19.52\00:12:21.04
Then verse 7 says something very
00:12:21.56\00:12:22.56
interesting, let us
go down and confuse their
00:12:22.57\00:12:27.00
language so it says
that the Lord comes down
00:12:27.01\00:12:29.80
and looks at
the multiple people,
00:12:30.44\00:12:32.28
looks at a bunch of
people and says they are one.
00:12:32.29\00:12:34.53
And then says let
us go down and confuse
00:12:35.46\00:12:37.14
their language. Who's
us? It says the Lord said us,
00:12:37.15\00:12:40.98
Right. So you see
another indication of that
00:12:40.99\00:12:43.12
now another one that
I would like to turn to,
00:12:43.13\00:12:45.00
and this is one of
them it's pretty strong and
00:12:45.01\00:12:46.65
it's in the New
Testament, Book of Matthew.
00:12:46.66\00:12:47.84
Go to Matthew just
for a minute here with me,
00:12:48.46\00:12:49.75
that's the first book
of The New Testament that
00:12:50.47\00:12:52.59
should be pretty easy
to find. Matthew chapter
00:12:52.60\00:12:54.53
22 and verse 41
and we're gonna start
00:12:54.54\00:12:57.74
reading. The
Pharisees was trying to catch
00:12:57.75\00:13:00.74
Jesus up just prior to
this, they were trying to
00:13:00.75\00:13:02.80
catch him up and get
him confused and try to
00:13:02.81\00:13:06.41
get him to fall into a
trap of saying the wrong
00:13:06.42\00:13:09.00
things, so they could
accuse him and have him
00:13:09.01\00:13:10.87
turned over to the
Romans and be killed.
00:13:10.88\00:13:12.57
And so he comes
along and they asking this
00:13:13.18\00:13:15.05
question about the
commandments of God and
00:13:15.06\00:13:17.32
he answers them really
well, they want to know
00:13:17.33\00:13:18.44
which one is the
best commandment.
00:13:18.45\00:13:19.42
And he didn't answer
them the way they wanted
00:13:20.10\00:13:21.09
to be answered, so
he said let me ask you
00:13:21.10\00:13:22.27
a question, While the
Pharisees were gathered
00:13:22.28\00:13:24.54
together, in verse 41,
Jesus asked them saying,
00:13:24.55\00:13:26.53
What do you think ye of
Christ, whose son is he?
00:13:26.54\00:13:29.09
And they said unto
him, The son of David.
00:13:30.50\00:13:31.76
And he said unto
them, How then is that
00:13:32.56\00:13:34.37
David in spirit
calls him Lord, saying,
00:13:34.93\00:13:36.78
The Lord said unto
my Lord. David says the
00:13:38.01\00:13:42.33
Lord said unto my Lord
Sit thou on my right hand,
00:13:42.34\00:13:44.54
till I make thine
enemies thy footstool.
00:13:44.55\00:13:46.10
If David then calls
him Lord, how has he been
00:13:47.37\00:13:49.20
his Son? And no man
was able to answer him
00:13:49.21\00:13:51.75
a word, neither
durst any man from that day
00:13:51.76\00:13:53.32
forth ask him
any more questions.
00:13:53.33\00:13:54.55
Do you understand
what Jesus says here?
00:13:54.56\00:13:56.00
He's quoting from the Psalms,
00:13:56.55\00:13:57.93
Psalms 110 of
verse 1, where David says
00:13:57.94\00:14:00.08
the Lord said unto
my Lord, well now who's
00:14:00.47\00:14:03.31
speaking, The Lord.
And who's he speaking to?
00:14:03.32\00:14:05.59
The Lord. So there's
an indication there that
00:14:07.00\00:14:10.67
God is speaking to
God. And David actually,
00:14:10.68\00:14:13.78
I mean Jesus here is
actually quoting that text
00:14:13.79\00:14:16.09
and he is referring
as that was happening,
00:14:16.10\00:14:18.06
he was actually
referring to God speaking
00:14:18.07\00:14:20.82
to God. How is it that
the God can say to God,
00:14:20.83\00:14:23.36
you are my son and I
am going to make your
00:14:24.70\00:14:26.03
enemies your
footstool? And Jesus questioned
00:14:26.04\00:14:28.09
why he was wording the
question was simply this.
00:14:28.10\00:14:29.35
How's that the David
can call the Lord his
00:14:30.17\00:14:31.59
son and be
speaking to him whenever,
00:14:31.60\00:14:34.13
his son hasn't even
been born yet. Right?
00:14:34.98\00:14:37.72
At the time that
David was calling the Lord
00:14:38.24\00:14:39.81
you know calling him
Lord and if he's gonna
00:14:40.79\00:14:42.24
be come and be his
son, how does that work out?
00:14:42.25\00:14:44.77
Is that, did you
understand the confusion
00:14:44.78\00:14:46.26
there? It almost
sounds confusing even now
00:14:46.27\00:14:47.70
doesn't it? But
because Christ was pre-existing
00:14:47.71\00:14:51.38
then he was able
to call him Lord,
00:14:52.35\00:14:53.32
talk to him before he's
actually come to the earth.
00:14:54.04\00:14:56.06
You follow that call
him Lord. So there you go,
00:14:56.83\00:14:58.45
and then one more
place there referring
00:14:58.96\00:15:00.30
that same thing is an
Acts chapter 2 and that's
00:15:00.31\00:15:02.03
the last text we're gonna go to.
00:15:02.04\00:15:03.01
Now this is outside
of the study that's why
00:15:03.53\00:15:04.92
I said the last
text we're gonna go to.
00:15:04.93\00:15:06.19
On the section outside
of what our Bible study is.
00:15:07.18\00:15:08.97
In other words you
write these texts here
00:15:09.52\00:15:10.53
down and if you are
giving a Bible study
00:15:10.54\00:15:12.25
someone says, I don't
believe in the trinity
00:15:12.26\00:15:13.72
or anything like
that. You're gonna at least
00:15:13.73\00:15:15.25
thorough of these
things out a real quick and
00:15:15.26\00:15:16.45
say well this is why
I do. And get just a few
00:15:16.46\00:15:18.66
examples of the Bible
saying that God is not
00:15:18.67\00:15:23.30
just a singular entity,
you know even as one God
00:15:23.31\00:15:27.34
you have the Lord
speaking to the Lord.
00:15:27.35\00:15:29.09
You have the Lord
saying Let us make man in
00:15:29.10\00:15:30.35
our image, you have
the Lord saying let us go
00:15:30.36\00:15:32.42
down and confuse
their languages and there's
00:15:32.43\00:15:33.72
many places you have
also in the book of Genesis.
00:15:33.73\00:15:36.91
When whenever fire
and brimstone rain down
00:15:37.71\00:15:39.01
out of God from
heaven, I think its Genesis
00:15:39.02\00:15:41.17
chapter 18 it says,
the Lord called fire down
00:15:41.18\00:15:44.28
from the Lord out of
heaven. So you had the
00:15:44.29\00:15:46.43
Lord there talking
to Abraham, you remember
00:15:46.44\00:15:47.74
of Jesus and the two
angels come and talked
00:15:47.75\00:15:49.11
to Abraham and then
it says that the Lord
00:15:49.12\00:15:51.11
called fire down from
the Lord out of heaven.
00:15:51.12\00:15:52.71
There in Genesis 18 as
well. So there's another
00:15:53.36\00:15:54.65
one of those indications
you can put that down
00:15:54.66\00:15:56.08
as well. But here
in Acts chapter 2,
00:15:56.09\00:15:57.86
just another little,
again another indication
00:15:59.23\00:16:02.72
that they whenever
Peter hears preaching
00:16:02.73\00:16:05.40
this powerful sermon
on the day of Pentecost,
00:16:05.41\00:16:07.00
he kind of, he uses
the same text in verse 34,
00:16:07.66\00:16:09.64
Acts 2 verse 34. For
David is not yet ascended
00:16:10.16\00:16:13.02
into the heavens:
but he saith himself,
00:16:13.03\00:16:15.77
The Lord said to my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand,
00:16:16.70\00:16:18.75
until I make thy
enemies thy footstool.
00:16:19.76\00:16:20.73
So there you have
it again. The Lord said
00:16:21.49\00:16:23.54
to my Lord, sit thou
on my right hand till
00:16:23.55\00:16:25.13
I make thy
enemies thy footstool.
00:16:25.14\00:16:27.16
So he was again
quoting from the same
00:16:27.17\00:16:29.13
section there, the
same part of the Bible
00:16:30.20\00:16:31.52
on Psalm 1:10. And it
is, through out the Bible
00:16:31.53\00:16:33.71
in many different places,
it's in Hebrews too where
00:16:33.72\00:16:35.49
it says something
to the effect of what,
00:16:35.50\00:16:37.44
to which of the
angels did he say?
00:16:37.45\00:16:38.69
To which of the
angels did the Lord say,
00:16:39.47\00:16:40.68
Sit thou on my right
hand, until I make thy
00:16:42.15\00:16:43.12
enemies thy
footstool. Well He didn't say
00:16:43.13\00:16:44.57
that to any of
angels, that's the point
00:16:44.58\00:16:45.67
He was saying that to the Lord.
00:16:46.23\00:16:47.20
You follow that, so we
do have strong indications
00:16:48.18\00:16:49.69
in the Bible that
God is a trinity or what
00:16:49.70\00:16:52.43
we call a Triune
Godhead. Right! The Father,
00:16:52.44\00:16:54.92
the Son, the Holy
Spirit. And so we find out
00:16:54.93\00:16:57.04
that God has that
but what we're also gonna
00:16:57.05\00:16:58.70
see now is that the
devil tries to replicate that
00:16:58.71\00:17:01.83
and we're gonna
just put these things up
00:17:01.84\00:17:06.11
here right now,
and then we're gonna go
00:17:06.12\00:17:07.37
through the rest of
the study showing why
00:17:07.38\00:17:09.31
it is that the
devil has a trinity?
00:17:09.32\00:17:10.76
How that works out.
Let's look at Revelation
00:17:10.77\00:17:12.47
chapter 12 and we're
gonna read verse chapter
00:17:12.48\00:17:14.27
12 verse 9 again,
13:1 and 13:11 all in this
00:17:14.28\00:17:17.53
section. So when you
mark it up and you're
00:17:17.54\00:17:18.96
marking this one in
your Bible the way I've done
00:17:18.97\00:17:20.31
mine, is I just
basically since I know that
00:17:20.32\00:17:22.31
I'm gonna be going
to these three texts,
00:17:22.32\00:17:23.48
I got Revelation
12:9 and then from there
00:17:24.07\00:17:26.56
I'll just put little
things with Revelation,
00:17:26.57\00:17:28.14
just write a 13:1
beside it, and then beside
00:17:29.01\00:17:31.01
that when I go to
13:1, I put beside that 13:11
00:17:31.02\00:17:33.80
and then 13:11
where I put this next,
00:17:34.53\00:17:36.19
the next text
we'll be turning to.
00:17:37.58\00:17:38.87
You follow that,
well that's alright 3AC1.
00:17:39.46\00:17:41.53
Is that making any
sense? So when you're marking
00:17:42.84\00:17:44.00
your Bible up
for the Bible study,
00:17:44.01\00:17:45.14
here's Revelation
12:9 then Revelation 13:1
00:17:45.75\00:17:48.15
but then it 13:11
where you put this part
00:17:48.60\00:17:50.00
in the 3AC and
the Matthew 28:19 and
00:17:50.65\00:17:53.48
Matthew 28:18. Is
that making any sense?
00:17:53.49\00:17:55.27
You don't wanna go
marking everyone of those
00:17:56.35\00:17:58.08
with the same
thing. You just go from one
00:17:58.09\00:17:59.87
to the next, you
know, you'll be going pretty
00:17:59.88\00:18:01.74
quickly. So Revelation
12:9, we're gonna find
00:18:01.75\00:18:03.68
out that God the
Father has a counterfeit
00:18:03.69\00:18:07.19
that the devil tries
to use as a counterfeit
00:18:08.09\00:18:09.35
and that counterfeit
is gonna be the devil
00:18:10.62\00:18:12.47
himself or the
dragon. Tom is gonna read that
00:18:12.48\00:18:14.74
for us Revelation
chapter 12 and verse 9.
00:18:14.75\00:18:16.41
Tom, I want you read
all three of those if you
00:18:16.42\00:18:17.53
don't mind there.
Sure. So the great dragon
00:18:17.54\00:18:20.51
was cast out, that
serpent of old called the
00:18:22.29\00:18:24.80
Devil and Satan, who
deceives the whole world;
00:18:24.81\00:18:27.83
he was cast to the
earth, and his angels
00:18:28.88\00:18:31.42
were cast out with
him. Okay. Then I stood
00:18:31.43\00:18:35.73
on the sand of the
sea and I saw a beast
00:18:35.74\00:18:38.47
rising up out of the
sea having seven heads
00:18:38.48\00:18:41.64
and ten horns. And
on his horns ten crowns
00:18:42.22\00:18:44.85
and on his heads
a blasphemous name.
00:18:45.71\00:18:47.77
And verse 11. Then
I saw another beast
00:18:50.15\00:18:52.28
coming up out of
the earth and he had two
00:18:52.29\00:18:54.38
horns like a lamb
and spake like a dragon.
00:18:54.39\00:18:57.13
Okay! This is what
we're gonna call the false
00:18:57.44\00:18:59.01
trinity bill, our
Tom, oh I am sorry.
00:18:59.02\00:19:01.30
Hey Bill, sitting
next to you, Right.
00:19:01.31\00:19:03.02
This is what we're
gonna, I want to say this
00:19:03.29\00:19:04.71
is that false trinity
trying to mimic Christ.
00:19:04.72\00:19:06.29
Now let me just
give you some examples
00:19:06.30\00:19:07.64
we go through these
with more detail as we
00:19:07.65\00:19:09.08
get into the study,
but it is just interesting
00:19:09.09\00:19:10.78
that the first one the dragon,
00:19:10.79\00:19:11.79
when we look at that
he's gonna try to mimic
00:19:11.80\00:19:14.27
God the Father. And
you'll see how that works
00:19:14.84\00:19:16.87
out who do things
like, he gives his power and
00:19:16.88\00:19:18.63
his seat, his great
authority to the antichrist
00:19:18.64\00:19:21.25
this first beast power comes up,
00:19:21.26\00:19:22.79
that comes out of the
water he gets his power
00:19:22.80\00:19:24.47
to him just like God
the Father gives his power
00:19:24.48\00:19:26.29
to Jesus Christ,
when he was on the earth,
00:19:26.30\00:19:28.01
those kind of things
and we'll look at that in
00:19:28.02\00:19:29.21
more detail as we go
along. Even like the very
00:19:29.22\00:19:31.33
last one, the
beast that comes up out
00:19:31.34\00:19:33.95
of the earth, the
third one there that comes
00:19:33.96\00:19:35.37
out of the earth, he,
what he does is he calls us
00:19:35.38\00:19:37.74
everyone to worship
that first beast and he
00:19:37.75\00:19:39.99
tries to force
worship to the first beast.
00:19:40.00\00:19:41.65
Well, the job of the
Holy Spirit is to get people
00:19:41.66\00:19:43.60
to worship Jesus
Christ, by convicting them
00:19:43.61\00:19:45.68
of their sins and by
that conviction we know
00:19:45.69\00:19:49.73
that something is
wrong, that points us,
00:19:49.74\00:19:50.94
and he points us to
Jesus Christ that we worship
00:19:50.95\00:19:52.81
and get forgiveness
of our sins and get the
00:19:53.52\00:19:54.54
cleansing. So
we'll find out that this
00:19:54.55\00:19:56.31
false trinity, this false
trinity that we're looking
00:19:56.32\00:19:58.81
at here actually tries
to copy the true Godhead.
00:19:58.82\00:20:01.91
And that will play
itself out more as we go along,
00:20:02.77\00:20:05.00
we just had to lay the
foundation there and then
00:20:05.01\00:20:06.79
we'll get right on
into the rest of it,
00:20:06.80\00:20:08.24
to understand how
this works. So let
00:20:08.25\00:20:10.42
us go on to our next
text in the study here,
00:20:10.43\00:20:12.38
Matthew chapter 28
and verse 18 we're gonna
00:20:12.39\00:20:15.19
find out that Jesus
receives his power from
00:20:15.20\00:20:17.91
the Father. Jesus
actually receives his power
00:20:17.92\00:20:19.87
from the Father
when he get to the earth.
00:20:19.88\00:20:21.08
Matthew chapter 28 and verse 18,
00:20:21.09\00:20:24.64
I got to get there
myself and Bill is gonna
00:20:24.65\00:20:34.35
read that verse for
us, go ahead Brother Bill.
00:20:34.36\00:20:38.22
And Jesus came and
spoke to them, saying,
00:20:39.08\00:20:40.96
all authority has
been given to me in heaven
00:20:40.97\00:20:43.94
and on earth. So Jesus
says that all authority
00:20:43.95\00:20:46.81
has been given to
him. All power, all power,
00:20:46.82\00:20:51.38
all authority
whatever has been given to him,
00:20:51.39\00:20:53.19
Now who was it given to him by?
00:20:53.20\00:20:54.41
Who can give Jesus
power on this earth?
00:20:54.98\00:20:56.14
Yeah, remember
when Jesus was, was
00:20:57.32\00:20:58.45
first into his
ministry and he's out being
00:20:58.46\00:21:00.67
tempted that the
devil came to him in
00:21:00.68\00:21:02.48
Matthew chapter 4 and
He says I will give you
00:21:02.49\00:21:04.93
all the power.
Remember He wanted to give
00:21:06.17\00:21:07.14
him the power,
Right! If you bow down and
00:21:07.15\00:21:09.91
worship me then I'll
give you these things on
00:21:09.92\00:21:11.74
this earth but Jesus
refused to worship him,
00:21:11.75\00:21:13.75
Right. And so Jesus
says all power was given
00:21:14.58\00:21:16.86
to him we know, he
didn't worship the devil,
00:21:16.87\00:21:18.47
so who do you
suppose gave him the power?
00:21:18.48\00:21:19.73
It came from God
the Father right?
00:21:20.77\00:21:21.74
So God the Father
gives Jesus his power.
00:21:22.08\00:21:23.60
Now we're gonna find
out that the antichrist
00:21:24.45\00:21:26.07
power in order to
counterfeit that does
00:21:26.08\00:21:28.71
exactly the
same thing. He gives,
00:21:28.72\00:21:30.72
the dragon or the false
God the Father, the one,
00:21:30.73\00:21:33.81
the devil trying to
mimic God the Father,
00:21:33.82\00:21:35.78
he actually does the
same thing as he gives
00:21:36.62\00:21:37.93
his power and his
seat and his authority
00:21:38.40\00:21:39.74
to the sea-beast, the sea-beast.
00:21:39.75\00:21:43.12
Let's look at that
now. That's the next one,
00:21:43.13\00:21:44.55
it will be on
your screen right here,
00:21:44.56\00:21:45.53
Revelation
chapter 13 and verse 2,
00:21:45.54\00:21:47.76
Revelation 13 and
verse 2. We make camp here
00:21:47.77\00:21:56.44
just for a minute
because it's something
00:21:56.45\00:21:57.42
interesting in this.
Jessica I believe it's
00:21:57.43\00:22:00.39
your turn, alright.
Who is gonna read this one?
00:22:00.40\00:22:03.07
Is okay, Mrs. Gloria,
I'm sorry. Mrs. Gloria
00:22:03.08\00:22:05.50
is gonna read
there, go ahead Gloria,
00:22:05.51\00:22:06.81
Revelation
chapter 13 and verse 2,
00:22:06.82\00:22:08.63
are you ready for it? Go ahead.
00:22:08.64\00:22:10.64
Now the beast which I
saw was like a leopard.
00:22:11.49\00:22:14.01
His feet were like the
feet of a bear and his mouth
00:22:15.22\00:22:19.36
like the mouth of a
lion. The dragon gave him
00:22:20.13\00:22:23.69
his power and his
thrown and great authority.
00:22:23.70\00:22:26.70
So the Bible
says that the dragon,
00:22:27.56\00:22:29.39
now who's the dragon? The devil.
00:22:29.40\00:22:31.22
We know that from
Revelation chapter 12
00:22:31.23\00:22:32.75
and verse 9. The
dragon is the devil;
00:22:32.76\00:22:34.13
he says that he gives
this sea beast his power,
00:22:34.79\00:22:37.33
his seat and
his great authority.
00:22:37.34\00:22:38.91
Now I think that's very ironic,
00:22:39.41\00:22:40.43
you remember the
great controversy study
00:22:40.44\00:22:41.85
when we looked at
the Book of Isaiah.
00:22:41.86\00:22:43.52
Isaiah the 14th
chapter and let's go to
00:22:44.29\00:22:46.96
Isaiah chapter 14
just for a minute,
00:22:46.97\00:22:48.12
this is not in part of
this study particularly
00:22:48.13\00:22:50.04
but we're gonna get a
kind of little bit review
00:22:50.05\00:22:51.57
here of what we saw
in the antichrist study
00:22:51.58\00:22:54.67
in the Book of
Isaiah, Psalms, Proverbs,
00:22:55.19\00:22:57.36
Ecclesiastes, keep
rather moving to the right
00:22:57.86\00:22:59.16
you go to Proverbs
and you get to Isaiah
00:22:59.17\00:23:02.27
chapter 14 verse 12, 13 and 14.
00:23:04.66\00:23:10.92
Now look, check
this out, it says,
00:23:11.42\00:23:12.39
verse 12 says, How art
thou fallen from heaven,
00:23:13.07\00:23:14.65
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
00:23:14.66\00:23:15.67
How art thou cut
down to the ground,
00:23:17.66\00:23:18.76
which didst weaken
the nations! For you said
00:23:18.77\00:23:20.55
in your heart I
will ascend into heaven,
00:23:20.56\00:23:22.42
I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God:
00:23:23.10\00:23:25.74
I will sit also
upon the mount of the
00:23:25.75\00:23:26.96
congregation, in
the sides of the north:
00:23:26.97\00:23:28.32
I will ascend above
the heights of the clouds;
00:23:28.91\00:23:30.31
I will be like the most High.
00:23:30.32\00:23:31.75
What was it that
the devil wanted?
00:23:32.28\00:23:33.25
The dragon. He
wanted God's power?
00:23:33.26\00:23:35.18
He wanted his
thrown? He wanted God's
00:23:36.14\00:23:37.53
authority, didn't
he? That's what he wanted
00:23:37.54\00:23:38.85
was all of God
stuff. But when he finally
00:23:38.86\00:23:40.78
gets to this earth
and he gets what does
00:23:40.79\00:23:42.11
he wants, his
power, his seat and his
00:23:42.12\00:23:43.65
authority, that he
wanted on this earth,
00:23:43.66\00:23:44.63
he gets people worshiping him.
00:23:44.64\00:23:45.61
He doesn't wanted any more,
00:23:45.62\00:23:46.89
he actually takes and
gives it to the sea-beast.
00:23:47.99\00:23:49.29
Now what he
supposed, he is doing that.
00:23:49.30\00:23:50.38
Because the devil
knows that both you and
00:23:51.84\00:23:54.36
myself are not
gonna worship the devil as
00:23:54.37\00:23:56.47
the devil, Right. If
the devil comes here with
00:23:56.48\00:23:59.38
all his power and his
authority and he comes
00:23:59.39\00:24:01.17
here and all the
devils glory you and I are
00:24:01.18\00:24:02.90
gonna say wait a
minute there's something
00:24:02.91\00:24:03.88
not right about this
because we studied our
00:24:03.89\00:24:05.37
Bibles and we know
that when Christ comes
00:24:05.38\00:24:08.09
you know he's gonna
catch us up in the air
00:24:08.10\00:24:09.27
and so the devil
knows we won't worship him
00:24:09.28\00:24:10.57
as the devil. He
knows we won't worship him
00:24:10.58\00:24:12.26
as the devil but he has
to get himself a front man.
00:24:12.27\00:24:14.46
So when he finally
receives his power and
00:24:15.24\00:24:16.72
his seat and his great
authority that he wanted,
00:24:16.73\00:24:18.30
and wanting all long,
he gives it to according
00:24:18.31\00:24:20.87
Revelation 13:2 he
gives it to the antichrist
00:24:20.88\00:24:23.50
power. Just like God
the Father give his power
00:24:23.51\00:24:27.46
and authority he gives
it over to Jesus Christ.
00:24:28.28\00:24:30.68
You find the dragon
or the devil giving his
00:24:31.25\00:24:32.65
power over to the
antichrist or that first
00:24:32.66\00:24:35.97
beast of Revelation
13 who is the antichrist
00:24:35.98\00:24:38.08
and that's another
study as we continue along.
00:24:38.09\00:24:39.69
So as we go on from
that point lets go on to
00:24:40.32\00:24:42.98
the next part of this,
Now we find out that God
00:24:42.99\00:24:44.63
the Father, gets his
power to Jesus Christ
00:24:44.64\00:24:47.21
and the dragon or
the devil gives his power
00:24:47.22\00:24:49.73
to the antichrist
we're gonna find out now
00:24:50.55\00:24:52.93
that both God has
a Throne and that the
00:24:52.94\00:24:55.06
devil has a Throne.
Now our next text here is,
00:24:55.07\00:24:56.97
we will be found in
John 16, oh the spirit okay
00:24:56.98\00:25:00.94
I am sorry well
not that for you,
00:25:01.41\00:25:02.38
I got a little bit
ahead of my self John 16:13.
00:25:02.39\00:25:04.38
Gospel of John
chapter 16, we're gonna find
00:25:05.80\00:25:11.76
out show the
counterfeit of the Holy Spirit.
00:25:11.77\00:25:13.40
Like what the job
of the spirit of God is
00:25:14.16\00:25:16.89
and what the job of
the antichrist spirit you
00:25:17.71\00:25:20.84
might say this,
alright. John chapter 16 and
00:25:20.85\00:25:23.28
verse 13 and 14 is
what we're gonna turn to.
00:25:23.29\00:25:25.16
Who's up to read now,
Solita you up to read,
00:25:26.54\00:25:28.80
Okay verse 13 and
14. Howbeit when he,
00:25:28.81\00:25:33.63
the Spirit of truth,
is come, he will guide you
00:25:33.64\00:25:36.42
into all truth: for he
shall not speak himself;
00:25:36.43\00:25:39.29
but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak:
00:25:40.01\00:25:43.18
and he will show you
things to come. Keep going.
00:25:44.23\00:25:48.79
He shall glorify me: for
he shall receive of mine,
00:25:49.31\00:25:52.23
and shall show it unto
you. So what is the job
00:25:52.99\00:25:55.50
of the Holy Spirit
according to this text,
00:25:55.51\00:25:57.02
there's a couple of
things here, couple of fold,
00:25:57.03\00:25:58.54
howbeit when he, the
Spirit of truth, is come,
00:25:58.55\00:26:00.44
first he'll guide you
in the all truth right and
00:26:00.95\00:26:02.81
then it says in verse
14, he glorifies Jesus.
00:26:02.82\00:26:05.90
The job of the spirit
is to glorify Jesus now
00:26:06.70\00:26:08.31
how can he, how
he can glorify Jesus.
00:26:08.32\00:26:10.11
By having people
worship Jesus right,
00:26:10.99\00:26:12.96
by bringing putting
the glory and the honor and
00:26:12.97\00:26:15.40
everything, giving it
to Jesus. Now also just
00:26:15.41\00:26:17.64
as an extra text if
you want an extra one,
00:26:17.65\00:26:19.45
we're in verse 26 of
the preceding chapter.
00:26:19.46\00:26:21.74
Chapter 15 and
verse 26 is an interesting
00:26:21.75\00:26:24.15
text there, it says
about, But when he the
00:26:24.16\00:26:25.47
comforter being the
Holy spirit is come,
00:26:25.48\00:26:27.29
I will send him unto
you from the father even
00:26:27.81\00:26:30.69
the spirit of truth
which proceeds from the
00:26:30.70\00:26:32.92
Father and he shall
do what? Testify me,
00:26:32.93\00:26:35.80
so what's the job
of the Holy Spirit?
00:26:35.81\00:26:36.93
To testify Jesus or
point people to worship
00:26:37.79\00:26:39.84
the Lord Jesus
Christ right. That's the job
00:26:39.85\00:26:42.18
of the Holy Spirit,
now what we're gonna find
00:26:42.19\00:26:43.87
out is that the
antichrist power.
00:26:43.88\00:26:45.78
His job is actually do
the same thing or actually
00:26:46.42\00:26:49.79
the whole the false
Holy Spirit that we find
00:26:50.37\00:26:52.57
that the third part
of the trinity there,
00:26:52.58\00:26:54.10
his job what he
tries to do according to
00:26:54.60\00:26:56.11
Revelation 13, is to
force or enforce worship
00:26:56.12\00:26:59.82
of the first beast.
Now you'll notice that
00:26:59.83\00:27:01.96
the Holy Spirit never
forces worship of Jesus
00:27:01.97\00:27:04.70
Christ. The Bible
says that God woos us,
00:27:04.71\00:27:08.45
that God works on our
hearts, he plead with us,
00:27:08.46\00:27:10.64
he stands at the
door and he knocks but
00:27:10.65\00:27:12.36
he never forces his
way in, he never forces his
00:27:12.37\00:27:14.68
way in and calls us
or forces to worship
00:27:14.69\00:27:17.44
Jesus Christ, it's
our option. But what we're
00:27:17.45\00:27:19.50
gonna find out in
Revelation 13 is this
00:27:19.51\00:27:21.10
false trinity, it's
close to the original.
00:27:21.11\00:27:23.04
I mean it's close to
the actual one that the
00:27:24.12\00:27:26.12
Holy Spirit tries to
get us to worship Jesus and
00:27:26.13\00:27:28.19
then this false spirit
forces us to worship the
00:27:28.78\00:27:30.98
antichrist, if you
don't its all pains of death.
00:27:30.99\00:27:33.33
So that your option
is you need to worship
00:27:34.16\00:27:35.14
or die is what
we're gonna read here.
00:27:35.15\00:27:36.43
So let's go back to
Revelation chapter 13,
00:27:36.44\00:27:38.26
put it on this
large screen here.
00:27:38.80\00:27:39.98
Revelation
chapter 13 and verse 12.
00:27:39.99\00:27:41.90
Revelation 13:12.
Jessica, would you like to
00:27:42.57\00:27:44.48
read that for us?
I'm out there yet myself,
00:27:44.49\00:27:49.38
so give me a minute.
Revelation 13:12 okay,
00:27:49.39\00:27:52.44
go ahead,
whenever you get there.
00:27:58.45\00:27:59.42
He exercise all the
authority of first beast
00:28:02.39\00:28:05.30
and he required all
the earth and those who
00:28:06.04\00:28:08.35
belonged to this world
to worship the first beast
00:28:08.36\00:28:10.99
whose death
wound has been healed.
00:28:11.77\00:28:13.48
So the Bible says
that the second beast,
00:28:14.82\00:28:16.38
the second beast of
Revelation chapter 13
00:28:17.05\00:28:18.75
it comes up out of
the land, he calls us
00:28:19.24\00:28:21.47
or forces everyone to
worship the first beast,
00:28:21.48\00:28:24.23
the sea-beast. And so
let us look at this parallel
00:28:25.15\00:28:27.78
trinity just for a minute here.
00:28:27.79\00:28:28.76
You have the true
trinity the Father, Son,
00:28:28.77\00:28:31.71
and the Holy
Spirit. Right you have that
00:28:31.72\00:28:32.93
on one side here and
you have the counterfeit
00:28:33.80\00:28:36.52
on the other side.
You have God the Father
00:28:36.53\00:28:38.30
who rolls over all
and gives his power to the
00:28:38.31\00:28:40.27
Jesus Christ, You
have the antichrist dragon,
00:28:40.28\00:28:42.61
the devil actually
himself the dragon who gives,
00:28:43.14\00:28:44.67
after he gets his
power, he gives it to the
00:28:44.68\00:28:46.62
sea-beast or the
antichrist. And then you
00:28:46.63\00:28:49.24
have the Holy Spirit
this false Holy Spirit,
00:28:49.25\00:28:51.02
first have the true
Holy Spirit that directs
00:28:52.01\00:28:53.55
worship to Jesus
Christ. He directs us to worship
00:28:53.56\00:28:55.07
Jesus he brings conviction
of our sins he glorifies
00:28:55.08\00:28:57.13
Jesus, he testifies
Jesus and he calls us
00:28:57.79\00:29:00.11
to wanna worship
Jesus. But then he finds this
00:29:00.12\00:29:02.46
false Holy Spirit
here that the land beast
00:29:02.47\00:29:05.12
he calls us or
forces those to worship the
00:29:05.13\00:29:08.70
first beast. So
we're finding out there's
00:29:08.71\00:29:10.42
a parallel here.
Remember the devil's job is to
00:29:10.43\00:29:14.08
deceive and he knows
that he can't just openly
00:29:14.09\00:29:17.06
come at us with open
and rebellious things and
00:29:17.07\00:29:20.72
get all of us to worship
him, and to get all of us
00:29:20.73\00:29:22.47
to follow him. Now
there are people out there
00:29:22.48\00:29:24.38
that do worship the
devil openly you know
00:29:24.39\00:29:26.01
that's right, they just
openly, clearly say yeah
00:29:26.02\00:29:27.62
I worship the devil.
He knows he's got those
00:29:27.63\00:29:29.42
people but what's his
job is to deceive just
00:29:29.43\00:29:31.93
those people in
Revelation chapter 12 and
00:29:31.94\00:29:34.25
verse 9 what was
his job is, get them to
00:29:34.26\00:29:36.17
worship the whole
world. He wants to deceive
00:29:36.18\00:29:39.15
the whole world. Not
just the people that he
00:29:39.16\00:29:41.05
already has. So
we've seen now that just
00:29:41.06\00:29:44.67
a quick review
that God has a trinity,
00:29:44.68\00:29:46.99
the devil has a trinity,
that God gives his power,
00:29:47.00\00:29:49.70
God the Father gives
his power to Jesus Christ
00:29:49.71\00:29:51.78
and the dragon gives
his power to the sea-beast
00:29:51.79\00:29:54.70
or the antichrist.
And then we find that the
00:29:54.71\00:29:56.36
spirit of God calls,
he's not actually calls us
00:29:56.37\00:29:59.12
in the form of
forcing but he helps us to
00:29:59.13\00:30:01.39
point our direction,
our worship to Jesus Christ
00:30:01.40\00:30:04.17
and the antichrist
power has the false holy
00:30:04.72\00:30:06.84
spirit that force us,
actually force that makes
00:30:06.85\00:30:09.53
people to
worship the first beast.
00:30:09.54\00:30:11.07
And you can read
more about that Revelation
00:30:11.55\00:30:12.52
chapter 13 this
follow on down through
00:30:12.53\00:30:14.48
a little bit it
says he exercise all,
00:30:14.49\00:30:16.47
I mean verse 12,
Revelation 13:12,
00:30:16.48\00:30:17.97
Exercise all the
power of the first beast
00:30:17.98\00:30:20.18
before him, he
caused the earth and them
00:30:20.19\00:30:22.37
which dwell therein to
worship the first beast,
00:30:22.38\00:30:24.24
whose deadly wound was healed.
00:30:24.25\00:30:25.76
And he went, And he
doeth great wonders,
00:30:26.63\00:30:28.01
so that he maketh
fire come down from heaven
00:30:28.02\00:30:31.03
on the earth in
the sight of men.
00:30:31.04\00:30:32.01
He deceived them
that dwell on the earth
00:30:32.69\00:30:33.82
by his miracles,
let's go right on down
00:30:33.83\00:30:36.09
to verse 16, 15,
15, he had power to give
00:30:36.10\00:30:40.79
life unto the image
of the beast, that the
00:30:40.80\00:30:41.97
image of the
beast should both speak,
00:30:41.98\00:30:43.04
and force or cause
as many as would not
00:30:43.05\00:30:45.22
worship the image of
the beast should do what?
00:30:45.23\00:30:47.02
Be killed. So this
false fear what's he actually
00:30:47.98\00:30:50.08
doing? If you decide
you won't wanna worship
00:30:50.09\00:30:52.15
the way he wanted,
what's he gonna cause
00:30:52.16\00:30:53.43
for you to happen? He's
gonna cause you to kills.
00:30:53.44\00:30:56.95
That's not the
way God works that.
00:30:56.96\00:30:59.28
So he can't be an
exact replica, he's not
00:30:59.79\00:31:01.49
gonna be an exact
replica what God has,
00:31:01.50\00:31:03.28
but he's gonna be a counterfeit,
00:31:03.29\00:31:04.29
a sort of counterfeit.
Let us go down to the
00:31:04.30\00:31:06.31
next one here and I
would like this one really
00:31:06.32\00:31:07.61
well, it's about
God's Throne, we looked
00:31:07.62\00:31:09.80
that the spirit
of God now, And now
00:31:09.81\00:31:10.98
Revelation chapter 4 verse 9-11.
00:31:10.99\00:31:12.75
we're gonna read
about God's Throne and
00:31:12.76\00:31:14.47
I think I'll go ahead
and take this one verse 9-11
00:31:14.48\00:31:16.92
and will be
ready for the next one,
00:31:17.76\00:31:18.73
Revelation
chapter 4 let's go back to
00:31:19.33\00:31:21.49
Revelation chapter 4.
We're gonna find out that
00:31:21.50\00:31:22.80
God has a Throne,
God has a Throne and that
00:31:22.81\00:31:26.16
the antichrist or
the devil he also has
00:31:26.17\00:31:27.75
a Throne. Revelation
chapter 4, verse 9 and
00:31:27.76\00:31:33.62
when those beasts
give glory and honor and
00:31:33.63\00:31:35.52
thanks to him that
sat upon the Throne
00:31:35.53\00:31:38.39
who lives for ever and ever.
00:31:39.17\00:31:40.20
Now who is that the
sets upon the Throne lives
00:31:40.74\00:31:41.93
for ever and ever?
It will be God right?
00:31:41.94\00:31:43.62
The four and twenty
elders fall down before
00:31:44.58\00:31:46.87
him that setup on
the Throne and they
00:31:46.88\00:31:48.65
worship him that
lives for ever and ever and
00:31:48.66\00:31:50.13
cast their crowns
before the Throne, saying,
00:31:50.14\00:31:51.88
Thou art worthy, O
Lord, to receive glory
00:31:52.43\00:31:54.88
and honor and
power: for thou hast
00:31:55.48\00:31:56.85
created all things,
and for thy pleasure
00:31:56.86\00:31:59.59
they are and were created.
00:32:00.07\00:32:01.51
So, we find here that
God has a throne and he
00:32:02.21\00:32:04.39
is sitting on his
throne, and we find that the,
00:32:04.40\00:32:06.20
now we are gonna
look at from this point
00:32:07.73\00:32:08.99
I guess you could
say that the devil the
00:32:09.00\00:32:10.86
antichrist, the devil
right now also has a throne.
00:32:10.87\00:32:13.81
He has a throne
himself, and we are gonna
00:32:14.60\00:32:15.74
look at that now in
Revelation chapter 3
00:32:15.75\00:32:17.15
we just went from
Revelation 4 we are gonna
00:32:18.39\00:32:20.02
Revelation chapter
3 back up one more,
00:32:20.03\00:32:21.53
3 and verse 21 Revelation
chapter 3 and verse 21,
00:32:22.14\00:32:27.46
the Bible says,
okay I'll read it,
00:32:29.98\00:32:33.72
To him that overcometh
will I grant to sit with
00:32:34.73\00:32:37.35
me in my throne, all
this is still the God
00:32:37.36\00:32:39.65
the father having his throne,
00:32:39.66\00:32:40.68
even as I also
overcame, and set down with
00:32:40.69\00:32:42.39
my Father in his
throne. So we find now that
00:32:42.40\00:32:43.66
the Jesus has a
throne. And if those who a
00:32:43.67\00:32:46.61
overcometh are gonna
get sit on that throne
00:32:46.62\00:32:47.85
with him right. So,
we know that God has
00:32:47.86\00:32:50.78
a throne, Jesus
has a throne now we are
00:32:50.79\00:32:53.33
gonna find out that
the devil has a throne
00:32:53.34\00:32:54.73
and we've already saw
part of this in Revelation
00:32:55.25\00:32:56.85
chapter 13 because
the devil has a throne and
00:32:56.86\00:32:58.75
what's he do with his
throne, he gives it or
00:32:58.76\00:33:02.05
shares it with the anti-Christ.
00:33:02.06\00:33:04.00
The parallel here is
with what God the Father
00:33:04.99\00:33:08.19
does with Jesus Christ
right, and we are gonna
00:33:08.20\00:33:10.61
go to that now and find
out Revelation chapter 2,
00:33:10.62\00:33:13.82
Revelation
chapter 2 and verse 13.
00:33:14.90\00:33:18.40
Mrs Gloria, do you
wanna read that for me?
00:33:22.80\00:33:24.07
I know your works,
and where you dwell,
00:33:27.56\00:33:29.55
where Satan's
throne is: and you hold
00:33:31.05\00:33:34.06
fast to my name, and
did not deny my faith and
00:33:34.53\00:33:38.55
even in the days in
which Antipas was my
00:33:38.56\00:33:42.92
faithful martyrs,
who was killed among you,
00:33:42.93\00:33:46.81
where Satan
dwells. So, he says John
00:33:48.27\00:33:50.99
writing here Jesus is
speaking John is writing
00:33:51.00\00:33:53.62
and he says I know
where Satan's throne is.
00:33:54.21\00:33:56.32
Satan does he have a
throne? He sure does,
00:33:56.33\00:33:58.74
he has a throne and we know,
00:33:58.75\00:33:59.77
we know for sure he
has a throne because
00:33:59.78\00:34:00.90
when we went back to
Revelation chapter 13
00:34:00.91\00:34:03.17
that will be the
next on this study 11 AC
00:34:03.18\00:34:06.08
1 here Revelation
chapter 13 and verse 2
00:34:06.09\00:34:08.12
we already looked
at this one a couple of
00:34:08.73\00:34:09.70
times but we'll
just see it again,
00:34:09.71\00:34:10.83
does the devil have
a throne we just read
00:34:11.36\00:34:13.26
that he did. God
says, I know where his
00:34:13.27\00:34:15.18
throne is at even
and then after he has
00:34:15.19\00:34:17.46
a throne of course
just like God the Father
00:34:17.47\00:34:19.29
shares his throne
with Jesus Christ we are
00:34:19.30\00:34:21.59
gonna find that the
dragon or the false father
00:34:21.60\00:34:24.71
in this false trinity
here shares his throne
00:34:24.72\00:34:27.19
with the dragon or
the antichrist or the
00:34:27.76\00:34:29.67
false Jesus
Christ. And so we read that
00:34:29.68\00:34:31.56
in verse 2 there and the same in
00:34:31.57\00:34:32.62
Revelation chapter
13, And the beast which
00:34:32.63\00:34:35.37
I saw was like unto a leopard,
00:34:35.82\00:34:37.20
his feet like
the feet of a bear,
00:34:37.65\00:34:38.86
his mouth was a mouth of a lion:
00:34:38.87\00:34:40.05
and the dragon
gave him his power,
00:34:40.54\00:34:41.63
his throne or seat
and great authority.
00:34:41.64\00:34:45.14
So, the dragon gives
the antichrist his throne
00:34:46.02\00:34:49.01
or his seat and the
Bible says we just read
00:34:49.02\00:34:50.95
there in the previous
verses, let me make sure
00:34:50.96\00:34:53.47
I got the right verses here.
00:34:53.48\00:34:54.45
Revelation chapter
4:9-11 and Revelation
00:34:54.46\00:34:57.01
chapter 3:21, we
find, it was in 3:21
00:34:57.02\00:34:59.80
we found that the
Jesus shares his throne
00:34:59.81\00:35:01.60
with the father and
the dragon here is sharing
00:35:01.61\00:35:04.43
his throne with the sea
beast or the antichrist.
00:35:04.44\00:35:06.90
The devil is never
original you aware of that?
00:35:07.75\00:35:09.11
All kinds of things
that I think is interesting,
00:35:10.24\00:35:11.65
I mean where did the
devil originally come from?
00:35:11.66\00:35:13.27
Lucifer, where did he come from,
00:35:13.28\00:35:14.25
we've already discovered this,
00:35:14.26\00:35:15.23
he came from heaven,
right. And you know we
00:35:15.24\00:35:16.53
are gonna find out as
we go through this study
00:35:16.54\00:35:18.00
that in heaven
God has a city, right.
00:35:18.01\00:35:20.63
In Revelation 21,
John sees the city coming
00:35:21.14\00:35:23.67
down from God out
of heaven, right, So,
00:35:23.68\00:35:25.43
God has a city. And
as we read about the city
00:35:25.44\00:35:27.98
you'll find out that the
city is like four square,
00:35:27.99\00:35:29.62
you know the wall
it's all squared up and
00:35:30.62\00:35:32.05
it has a river running
right through the center
00:35:32.06\00:35:33.15
of it. And when you
read in the Old Testament
00:35:33.16\00:35:35.06
the city of Babylon that
there the like the devils
00:35:35.81\00:35:37.88
see there, his city
there in Babylon in the
00:35:37.89\00:35:40.07
Old Testament, it has
a river running through
00:35:40.08\00:35:41.95
the middle of it and
its four square as well.
00:35:41.96\00:35:43.77
And so he knows what
heaven looks like and
00:35:44.75\00:35:46.41
he comes down, and
he tries to counterfeit
00:35:46.42\00:35:47.39
everything here, he
can't have what he had it,
00:35:47.40\00:35:49.10
what is in heaven, he
can't have it there but
00:35:49.11\00:35:51.24
he gets as close as
he can get to it here.
00:35:51.25\00:35:52.91
And so he is creating
his, I guess you can say
00:35:54.20\00:35:55.96
he is creating his
little heaven on earth
00:35:55.97\00:35:57.40
right here, but this
isn't gonna last long.
00:35:57.41\00:35:58.78
His heaven isn't
gonna last long so his so
00:35:59.73\00:36:01.03
these counterfeits
are just that they are
00:36:01.04\00:36:02.44
just counterfeits and
they don't last forever,
00:36:02.45\00:36:04.11
God is all gonna last forever,
00:36:04.58\00:36:05.77
so we found that
God is a trinity,
00:36:05.78\00:36:08.91
God has power and he gives his,
00:36:09.65\00:36:11.09
gives his power, and
authority to Jesus Christ
00:36:11.10\00:36:14.61
His son, God the Holy
Spirit directs worship
00:36:14.62\00:36:18.18
to Jesus Christ and
we also find out that God
00:36:18.19\00:36:20.59
has a throne and
now we're gonna look
00:36:20.60\00:36:22.63
at just like the devil
he has all these different
00:36:22.64\00:36:24.23
things at his
counterfeit he is just copying
00:36:24.24\00:36:26.33
every truth that
God has the devil has
00:36:26.99\00:36:28.59
a counterfeit. And you
know this is what's good
00:36:28.60\00:36:30.85
about this study
doing this right now in this
00:36:30.86\00:36:32.66
time of our Bible
studies, because what,
00:36:32.67\00:36:34.14
we are just really
early into the study still yet
00:36:34.15\00:36:35.82
around this number 5
in the studies number
00:36:35.83\00:36:38.84
4 or 5 I can't remember exactly.
00:36:38.85\00:36:40.18
We were still really
early into the studies.
00:36:40.73\00:36:42.42
Now here's what
interesting about
00:36:43.34\00:36:44.41
this when you think
about it when we get
00:36:44.42\00:36:46.23
past this point and
now we recognize that
00:36:46.24\00:36:49.28
the devil has a
counterfeit for every
00:36:49.29\00:36:51.00
truth that God has,
now we started looking at
00:36:51.01\00:36:53.58
other subjects, we are
gonna find out the reason,
00:36:53.59\00:36:55.71
the reason that
these things seem to be
00:36:55.72\00:36:58.26
so hard to
understand its because the devil
00:36:58.27\00:37:00.58
has counterfeit it..
You know so many people
00:37:00.59\00:37:03.25
are deceived by so
many deceptions that
00:37:03.26\00:37:04.93
the devil has and
the reason they have
00:37:04.94\00:37:06.39
is because it's
not a blatant miscoding
00:37:06.40\00:37:09.27
of the scripture,
this is not a blatant just
00:37:09.28\00:37:11.17
outside out now
oppose, opposition after seeing
00:37:11.18\00:37:16.12
to those
scriptures but it's a subtle
00:37:16.13\00:37:17.68
counterfeit of the scriptures.
00:37:17.69\00:37:18.67
You remember the
very first and we have
00:37:19.20\00:37:21.03
already looked at
this in back in the study
00:37:21.04\00:37:23.35
of the great controversy
I believe we saw this at,
00:37:23.36\00:37:24.89
but the very first
problem that arose on
00:37:25.44\00:37:27.38
this earth was
whenever the devil came and
00:37:27.39\00:37:30.45
quoted the
scriptures. You remember that he
00:37:30.46\00:37:34.44
told Eve, he says,
has God said you shall
00:37:34.45\00:37:37.01
not eat from every
tree of the garden;
00:37:37.02\00:37:38.27
remember that's what he asked.
00:37:38.28\00:37:39.30
That's exactly
what God said, he quoted
00:37:39.92\00:37:42.90
God word for word,
let us look at that just
00:37:42.91\00:37:44.50
for a second
because this will help us
00:37:44.51\00:37:46.02
understand I think
clarify a little bit the
00:37:46.03\00:37:48.61
importance of
understanding that the
00:37:48.62\00:37:50.37
devil is
counterfeiting every truth.
00:37:50.38\00:37:51.90
So, its in Genesis
chapter 2 and verse 16,
00:37:52.66\00:37:55.78
Genesis 2:16 it says
the Lord God commanded
00:37:56.37\00:37:59.84
the man, saying
of every tree of the
00:37:59.85\00:38:01.12
garden thou may freely eat.
00:38:01.13\00:38:02.57
Now did God say
they could eat from every
00:38:03.07\00:38:04.04
tree of the garden? I
just read it to you right,
00:38:04.05\00:38:07.18
did God say you
can eat from every tree
00:38:07.88\00:38:08.85
of the garden. So
whenever the Lucifer comes
00:38:08.86\00:38:11.04
along the devil here
in chapter 3 and verse 2
00:38:11.05\00:38:14.47
actually chapter 3
and verse 1 the later part
00:38:15.37\00:38:16.91
of it chapter 3
later part verse 1,
00:38:16.92\00:38:18.40
he says Yea, hath God said,
00:38:18.41\00:38:20.58
Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden?
00:38:20.59\00:38:22.14
Did God say that? I
just read it to you,
00:38:23.23\00:38:25.97
Solita, we say no. Look Solita,
00:38:25.98\00:38:27.54
I'll read it to you
again sister, verse 16,
00:38:27.55\00:38:29.76
chapter 2 verse 16,
the Lord God commanded
00:38:30.27\00:38:31.65
the man, saying of
every tree of the garden
00:38:31.66\00:38:33.26
you may freely eat.
So that's what the Bible
00:38:33.27\00:38:35.23
says right? Now
lets go to chapter 3 and
00:38:35.24\00:38:38.11
verse 1 latter part of
it and the serpent says Yea,
00:38:38.12\00:38:40.89
hath God not said, you
shall eat of every tree
00:38:41.66\00:38:43.25
of the garden? Had
God said they can eat
00:38:43.26\00:38:44.67
from every tree of the garden?
00:38:44.68\00:38:45.65
Yes, so was the devil
quoting the scriptures?
00:38:46.08\00:38:47.89
He was, he was
quoting these scriptures word
00:38:49.38\00:38:50.54
for word. He coded
exactly word for word,
00:38:50.55\00:38:53.55
so what he is doing
when he comes to eat
00:38:54.24\00:38:55.21
as he is coming with
the out not open rebellion
00:38:55.22\00:38:59.70
of the scriptures
and then saying oh the
00:38:59.71\00:39:00.70
scriptures aren't
really true and just coming,
00:39:00.71\00:39:02.24
coming with
something, they pull the odd
00:39:02.25\00:39:03.50
or different. No he was
quoting the word of God,
00:39:03.51\00:39:05.54
quoting the word of
God, but he was missed
00:39:06.80\00:39:09.24
he was
underquoting the word of God,
00:39:09.25\00:39:10.87
because if you go back
to chapter 2 and verse 17,
00:39:10.88\00:39:13.25
God finishes the
statement by saying,
00:39:14.15\00:39:15.32
but of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil,
00:39:16.01\00:39:17.33
thou shalt not eat of
it: for in the day that
00:39:17.34\00:39:18.83
thou share surely
thereof thou shalt surely die.
00:39:18.84\00:39:19.81
So you understand
that the devil doesn't come
00:39:20.75\00:39:22.31
with wide open
clear obvious counterfeit
00:39:22.32\00:39:26.88
to God it's not
something that's just like oh
00:39:26.89\00:39:28.84
yeah! Everybody sees
that he's quoting the
00:39:28.85\00:39:30.91
scriptures but he's
just a little bit of abrupt
00:39:30.92\00:39:33.04
and of course you
know how the story ends,
00:39:33.86\00:39:35.10
Eve comes along and
she codes the scriptures
00:39:35.11\00:39:36.50
too but she overstates
what God originally said.
00:39:36.51\00:39:40.32
She adds to the word
of God and that's why
00:39:40.89\00:39:42.43
we're in this mess
today. So, as we're going
00:39:42.44\00:39:45.56
through this whole,
Solita always disagrees
00:39:45.57\00:39:47.95
with me there, she
said no its Adam's fault
00:39:47.96\00:39:49.79
for not being next to
his wife and not standing
00:39:49.80\00:39:53.17
up to her and she
always gives excuses as
00:39:53.18\00:39:54.93
to why I'm not right
there because she just
00:39:54.94\00:39:57.80
didn't like for women
to be blamed on this whole
00:39:57.81\00:39:59.70
thing and I'm not
blaming women Solita
00:39:59.71\00:40:01.28
I'm just blaming one
of you, well that would
00:40:01.29\00:40:04.81
be Eve and so what we
just read there is a fact
00:40:05.75\00:40:07.57
that the devil
come and he quotes the
00:40:07.58\00:40:10.30
scriptures to Eve and
she's deceived by him.
00:40:10.31\00:40:12.67
Now you're ready
it for me that she was
00:40:13.83\00:40:14.80
deceived that's what
she says that it wasn't Eve
00:40:14.81\00:40:16.22
that mess up she
was just deceived.
00:40:16.23\00:40:17.38
Well you know
deception is the devils job.
00:40:18.14\00:40:21.16
And that's why this
study, this is a very
00:40:22.72\00:40:24.26
important study to
realize that when get to the
00:40:24.27\00:40:25.75
book of Revelation he
hasn't changed his tactics.
00:40:25.76\00:40:28.30
You know the devil
doesn't change and say okay,
00:40:29.46\00:40:30.93
deception is not
working anymore I need to come
00:40:31.56\00:40:32.95
up something
different because deception
00:40:32.96\00:40:34.92
always works. I forgot
to tell you this you know
00:40:34.93\00:40:38.54
at the beginning part of
the study when I sit down
00:40:38.55\00:40:40.24
and study with
somebody and I read that
00:40:40.25\00:40:41.89
first part of
Revelation 12:9, his whole job
00:40:41.90\00:40:43.79
is to deceive the
whole world right,
00:40:43.80\00:40:44.96
and I asked the
person you know and you've
00:40:44.97\00:40:46.86
probably heard this
before, I asked the person
00:40:46.87\00:40:48.27
are you deceived, and
you know and they will go,
00:40:48.28\00:40:51.04
many times I say I
don't think so or they say no,
00:40:52.19\00:40:57.58
I'm not deceived and its
like well how do you know?
00:40:57.59\00:40:59.74
How do you know you
are not deceived Solita?
00:41:01.98\00:41:03.08
You know that's a
good question I asked
00:41:03.91\00:41:04.88
isn't it? Did Eve
know that she was deceived?
00:41:04.89\00:41:06.52
No, had she known
she was deceived guess
00:41:07.53\00:41:08.91
what she would have done.
00:41:08.92\00:41:09.89
She wouldn't
have taken the fruit.
00:41:11.26\00:41:12.23
She wouldn't have
taken from that fruit.
00:41:12.49\00:41:13.46
She would have say no
I'm not gonna deceived
00:41:13.82\00:41:14.79
here right but she
was deceived that's why
00:41:14.80\00:41:16.29
she took from it. And
the devil's job even to
00:41:16.30\00:41:18.49
this day is to
deceive us and so the elixir
00:41:18.50\00:41:22.02
or the cure for
deception is the Bible and
00:41:22.58\00:41:26.84
it's understanding
the Bible. And this study
00:41:26.85\00:41:28.52
I believe this is
very important that we,
00:41:28.53\00:41:30.01
as we figure out
here that the devil is not
00:41:30.02\00:41:32.33
gonna come at us
open, openly and obviously
00:41:32.34\00:41:36.07
its gonna be a
settle counterfeit just like
00:41:36.08\00:41:38.07
it was in the very beginning.
00:41:38.08\00:41:39.05
Because his job his
whole desire is to get
00:41:39.59\00:41:41.62
you and I to be lost.
He doesn't want us to be
00:41:41.63\00:41:44.89
saved, he wants us
to share in his reward
00:41:44.90\00:41:47.17
and I don't want to
share in that reward.
00:41:48.43\00:41:49.40
So, that's why this
study is important to share
00:41:49.41\00:41:52.36
with the people that
they get the idea that its
00:41:52.37\00:41:54.49
not an open and clear
thing about how the devil
00:41:54.50\00:41:57.68
is gonna come and
try to deceive them and
00:41:57.69\00:41:59.17
trick them its not
gonna be easy thing.
00:41:59.18\00:42:00.49
If you are gonna help
the people that you are
00:42:00.50\00:42:02.03
studying with
understand that then when you
00:42:02.04\00:42:04.34
start studying the
other subjects that will be
00:42:04.35\00:42:06.17
looking through. Now I
guess I can go and talk
00:42:06.18\00:42:07.51
about this now, for
instance if you are gonna
00:42:07.52\00:42:08.94
be studying the
Sabbath with somebody or you
00:42:08.95\00:42:11.31
are gonna be
studying the state of the dead
00:42:11.32\00:42:12.83
and these things, you
can show them that these
00:42:12.84\00:42:14.54
things that the false
teachings that are out
00:42:14.55\00:42:16.24
there you know like
the whole Sabbath issue
00:42:16.25\00:42:18.30
from Saturday to
Sunday that issue whether
00:42:18.31\00:42:20.63
Sabbath is Saturday
or the Sabbath is on
00:42:20.64\00:42:22.26
Sunday which one
is the right answer.
00:42:22.27\00:42:23.40
Well the question no
longer becomes Saturday
00:42:24.09\00:42:27.40
versus Sunday a
day versus a day,
00:42:27.41\00:42:28.96
it becomes the
deception that the devil has
00:42:29.64\00:42:31.11
versus the truth that God has.
00:42:31.88\00:42:32.91
Do you see the difference
there it makes, and it
00:42:33.70\00:42:35.76
carries more
weight? You know most people
00:42:35.77\00:42:37.82
when we, often
times a lot of times when
00:42:37.83\00:42:40.12
we present those
subjects we present them
00:42:40.13\00:42:42.00
in such a way that we
are asking them to choose
00:42:42.01\00:42:44.25
between two days.
You know choose between
00:42:44.26\00:42:46.48
Saturday or
choose between Sunday but
00:42:46.49\00:42:49.31
that's not the job.
That has no effect really
00:42:49.32\00:42:52.21
but when they got to
make a decision between
00:42:52.88\00:42:53.85
Jesus Christ and
antichrist oh, its lot easier
00:42:53.86\00:42:56.69
making decision there
isn't it. I want to follow
00:42:56.70\00:42:58.56
Jesus and his
truth and so if they can
00:42:58.57\00:43:01.44
understand that
there is a deception that
00:43:01.45\00:43:03.40
he brings then you
have, you have the,
00:43:03.41\00:43:05.56
you have the two options there.
00:43:05.57\00:43:06.81
Now you say are you deceived and
00:43:07.64\00:43:08.61
I say well not I am
not deceived well please
00:43:08.62\00:43:10.51
show me here,
explain to me here, then why,
00:43:10.52\00:43:12.28
what, where did
the Sunday comes from.
00:43:12.29\00:43:13.87
Right because it looks
so much like the original
00:43:15.22\00:43:17.32
that is deceptive,
pretty powerful isn't it?
00:43:18.97\00:43:22.63
When you look at it
like that. So let us go on
00:43:23.16\00:43:24.58
I got a just a little
bit plangent there but
00:43:25.13\00:43:26.49
I feel like I, they
would help out a little bit
00:43:26.50\00:43:28.65
with us here and
with the people at home
00:43:29.76\00:43:30.80
as they're trying to way out.
00:43:30.81\00:43:32.37
Wonder what is
this study all about,
00:43:32.38\00:43:33.84
you know why are
we going through the
00:43:33.85\00:43:35.55
antichrist versus
Jesus Christ and all these
00:43:35.56\00:43:37.32
parallels, that's the
reason because the devil
00:43:37.33\00:43:40.56
is going to try to not
bring a wide open obvious
00:43:40.57\00:43:44.95
rebellion but a
subtle deception.
00:43:45.67\00:43:48.11
So, let us go on
where we just finished with
00:43:48.81\00:43:50.53
the throne and we
are gonna go to the next
00:43:50.54\00:43:52.07
part of the study here
that God has a city and
00:43:52.08\00:43:55.03
the devil has a
city and we look at the
00:43:55.04\00:43:56.55
Revelation
chapter 21 verse 1 and 2,
00:43:56.56\00:43:58.29
Revelation chapter 21
Jessica verses 1 and 2,
00:43:58.82\00:44:01.58
that's where we ask you to read.
00:44:02.57\00:44:03.54
If anybody will ask
you from one of those
00:44:04.14\00:44:05.92
favorite texts and all
the Bible is you've just
00:44:05.93\00:44:07.86
found it and actually
its Revelation chapter 21
00:44:07.87\00:44:09.77
verses 1 through 5,
I love this that whole
00:44:09.78\00:44:12.65
section of text right
there, my most favorite.
00:44:12.66\00:44:16.54
Jessica, Revelation 21:1 and 2.
00:44:17.03\00:44:19.21
Then I saw a new
heaven and a new earth,
00:44:20.22\00:44:22.21
for the old heaven
and the old earth had
00:44:22.98\00:44:25.21
disappeared. And
the sea was also gone.
00:44:25.22\00:44:27.72
And I saw the holy
city, the new Jerusalem,
00:44:28.55\00:44:31.10
coming down from
God out of heaven like a
00:44:31.74\00:44:33.85
beautiful bride
prepared for her husband.
00:44:33.86\00:44:36.16
So, John sees what?
The holy city new Jerusalem
00:44:36.61\00:44:40.49
God city coming down
from God alright out of
00:44:41.00\00:44:43.18
heaven prepares as a
bride adoring for her
00:44:43.19\00:44:44.64
husband. So, he
sees the holy city,
00:44:44.65\00:44:46.37
I think its fascinating
right there in that text.
00:44:47.08\00:44:49.06
When you read all
through the Gospel of John,
00:44:49.58\00:44:50.73
John never refers
to himself by his name,
00:44:51.27\00:44:52.79
never once he always
just says he whom Jesus
00:44:53.46\00:44:56.08
loved and he did a
little research a little study
00:44:56.09\00:44:58.32
there and actually
the context here is like
00:44:58.33\00:45:00.26
he is saying he
whom Jesus loved anyway.
00:45:00.27\00:45:02.66
You know it's like he loved me
00:45:03.58\00:45:04.55
and inspired myself.
He wasn't like being proud
00:45:04.56\00:45:06.03
and saying I'm the
one that Jesus loved,
00:45:06.04\00:45:07.41
he was like I can't
believe he still loves me
00:45:07.99\00:45:09.11
was the kind of
the context what he was
00:45:09.12\00:45:10.60
always saying there.
But he never referred
00:45:10.61\00:45:11.84
himself and put
by his first name,
00:45:11.85\00:45:13.02
you read through the
Gospel of John and the
00:45:13.61\00:45:14.76
Epistles of John he
never referred himself
00:45:14.77\00:45:16.54
in first name basis,
right, but he is like oh!
00:45:16.55\00:45:19.63
So overwhelmed, he
is there on the Island
00:45:20.13\00:45:21.10
of Patmos all by
himself, he is so overwhelmed
00:45:21.11\00:45:22.51
because he actually
sees the city of God
00:45:22.52\00:45:24.71
coming down out of
heaven. Can you imagine
00:45:24.72\00:45:26.79
what it must have
been like for him?
00:45:26.80\00:45:27.94
I mean it was
probably better than any blue
00:45:28.42\00:45:30.15
ray high definition
television that we have
00:45:30.16\00:45:32.96
right now you know
real life John says,
00:45:32.97\00:45:35.00
I John saw it, the
holy city new Jerusalem
00:45:35.52\00:45:38.66
I saw it coming, I
would have loved to have
00:45:38.67\00:45:40.87
seen that. We will one
day if we are faithful,
00:45:40.88\00:45:42.45
amen, amen. So, John
sees the holy city coming
00:45:42.46\00:45:44.98
down from God out of
heaven, in other words
00:45:44.99\00:45:46.50
God has a city and
now he describes that city
00:45:47.46\00:45:50.25
on through
Revelation chapter 22 there but
00:45:50.26\00:45:52.41
we know that God has
a city and we're gonna
00:45:52.42\00:45:54.12
find out that the city
that God has is actually
00:45:54.13\00:45:56.63
compared to a
woman. We just looked at it
00:45:56.64\00:45:58.28
here it says the
city was a bride prepared
00:45:58.75\00:46:01.39
for her husband. So if the city,
00:46:01.91\00:46:03.91
God has a city it's
compared to woman what
00:46:04.42\00:46:05.75
you think that
devils gonna have?
00:46:05.76\00:46:06.85
A city and it's
gonna compare to a woman,
00:46:07.95\00:46:10.15
it would all make
the sense, wouldn't it?
00:46:10.16\00:46:11.13
And he actually does
that. This is a little
00:46:11.64\00:46:14.17
side note just
for a fun thing, in
00:46:14.18\00:46:17.13
Revelation
chapter 21 verse 1 there,
00:46:17.14\00:46:18.78
when it says I saw a
new heaven and a new earth;
00:46:19.12\00:46:21.16
for the first
heaven and the first earth
00:46:21.17\00:46:22.14
passed away, and
there was no more sea.
00:46:22.15\00:46:23.79
Right. In Old Testament
Book of Micah chapter 7
00:46:24.89\00:46:28.12
and verse 19, God says
he cast all of our sins
00:46:28.13\00:46:30.64
into the depths
of the sea, right,
00:46:30.65\00:46:32.77
you know he cast all our
sins in the depths of sea.
00:46:33.33\00:46:34.71
And then glory to
God by the time he gets
00:46:35.35\00:46:36.62
Revelation he
does away with the sea.
00:46:36.63\00:46:37.92
So no one there
will be gonna able to dig
00:46:39.62\00:46:40.63
those sins up again the
sea's gonna be gone with
00:46:40.64\00:46:41.97
sins in it. So, just a
little food for thought
00:46:41.98\00:46:45.11
there to that
something that kind of encourage
00:46:45.12\00:46:46.68
you on your way a
little bit, one day right now
00:46:46.69\00:46:49.03
our sins under
the blood of lamb,
00:46:50.39\00:46:51.36
didn't that right? I
mean does away with our
00:46:51.37\00:46:52.54
sins right now but it somehow,
00:46:52.55\00:46:53.90
somehow like my
friends here will sometimes
00:46:53.91\00:46:56.52
remember some of my
old past sins and they
00:46:56.53\00:46:58.23
will make, bring it up
and remind me of it right.
00:46:58.24\00:47:00.43
But when a new
heaven new earth comes
00:47:01.16\00:47:02.19
that's you are all
gonna be done away with,
00:47:03.13\00:47:04.10
you are all not gonna
remember that anymore.
00:47:04.11\00:47:05.08
You are not gonna
bring that up, amen.
00:47:05.69\00:47:07.96
Alright let us go
on, we found that God
00:47:08.50\00:47:10.20
has a city, it's
compared to a woman and now
00:47:10.21\00:47:11.91
in Revelation chapter
14 verse 8 we are gonna
00:47:12.76\00:47:16.33
find out that the
devil, not to be out
00:47:16.34\00:47:18.08
done has the same
thing. Revelation chapter 14
00:47:18.09\00:47:20.56
we'll actually go
through two different texts
00:47:21.17\00:47:22.22
here Revelation 14
be the first one to show
00:47:22.23\00:47:25.20
this and verse 8 go ahead Tom.
00:47:25.21\00:47:29.48
And another
angel followed, saying,
00:47:30.71\00:47:32.24
Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city,
00:47:32.66\00:47:35.78
because she has made
all the nations drink
00:47:36.26\00:47:38.28
of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication.
00:47:38.89\00:47:41.17
So, Revelation 14:8,
Tom says that followed
00:47:41.62\00:47:44.64
another angel and
speaking of Babylon that
00:47:44.65\00:47:46.82
great city and it
says that I'm sorry because
00:47:46.83\00:47:50.59
she made all
nations drink of the wine
00:47:50.60\00:47:52.04
of the wrath of her fornication.
00:47:52.05\00:47:53.02
So, he is talking
about the devil city
00:47:53.03\00:47:55.35
and refers to it as a
woman. So the antichrist
00:47:55.36\00:47:58.53
was a devil he has a
city and it's referred
00:47:58.56\00:48:00.47
to as a woman. We
also see that again in
00:48:00.48\00:48:02.08
Revelation chapter
17 verse 18 I think that
00:48:02.09\00:48:03.81
one is actually
even more clear than what
00:48:03.82\00:48:05.91
we just read
Revelation 17:18, go ahead and
00:48:05.92\00:48:08.61
read it again,
The woman whom you saw
00:48:08.62\00:48:10.47
is the great city,
which reigneth over the kings
00:48:10.48\00:48:13.14
of the earth.
So, and that speaking
00:48:13.15\00:48:15.16
Revelation 17 of the harlot,
00:48:15.17\00:48:17.06
the whore of
Babylon, the harlot of Babylon
00:48:18.60\00:48:19.97
and her daughters,
says this woman that
00:48:20.41\00:48:22.25
you see that great
city she reigns over
00:48:22.26\00:48:24.26
the kings of the
earth so we find that the
00:48:24.27\00:48:25.76
devil has his city,
he's control of here on earth
00:48:25.77\00:48:28.49
and it's compared
to a woman just like
00:48:28.50\00:48:31.09
God's city is also
compared to a woman.
00:48:31.33\00:48:34.02
Now we've looked at
a quick review again,
00:48:35.87\00:48:39.00
Trinity, false and
true, we have the spirit
00:48:39.93\00:48:43.32
of God and the
spirit of the antichrist,
00:48:43.33\00:48:45.08
doing the work, the
work of the spirit of
00:48:45.83\00:48:47.31
God directs worship
to Jesus, the work of the
00:48:47.75\00:48:49.31
antichrist spirit
directs worship to the
00:48:49.32\00:48:50.83
sea-beast. Then we
find God has a throne and
00:48:52.09\00:48:54.63
he shares it with
God the son right,
00:48:54.64\00:48:56.81
father and son
share the throne, right,
00:48:57.28\00:48:58.26
and then we find out
that the antichrist or
00:48:58.89\00:49:00.51
rather the dragon has
a throne and he shares
00:49:00.52\00:49:03.21
it with the
sea-beast, see the parallel
00:49:03.22\00:49:05.62
there right. Let us go
on the city and the woman,
00:49:05.63\00:49:08.71
God has a city
compared to a woman and
00:49:10.89\00:49:13.10
then the antichrist
has a city it's compared
00:49:13.11\00:49:14.57
to woman. Now we are
gonna look at the mark
00:49:14.58\00:49:17.09
versus the seal.
God has the mark so does
00:49:17.98\00:49:21.05
the devil and we
are looking into first,
00:49:21.06\00:49:23.26
when we look at
God's side first.
00:49:23.27\00:49:24.60
Once again
Revelation chapter 7 verses 2
00:49:24.88\00:49:26.46
and 3, Revelation
chapter 7 verses 2 and
00:49:26.47\00:49:29.30
3 that God has a
seal or a mark and so does
00:49:29.31\00:49:32.78
the antichrist,
Revelation 7:2 and 3.
00:49:32.79\00:49:36.61
Go ahead Bill,
Then I saw another angel
00:49:39.31\00:49:42.93
ascending from the
east having the seal
00:49:43.40\00:49:45.35
of the living God, and
he cried with a loud voice
00:49:45.36\00:49:47.96
to the four angels
to whom it was granted
00:49:47.97\00:49:50.16
to harm the earth
and the sea, saying,
00:49:52.07\00:49:54.30
do not harm the
earth, the sea or the trees,
00:49:54.31\00:49:56.84
till we have sealed
the servants of our God
00:49:57.29\00:49:59.32
on their foreheads.
So God's servants will
00:49:59.86\00:50:02.35
be sealed with the
seal from God and where
00:50:02.36\00:50:03.61
will that seal be
taking placed at? Forehead,
00:50:03.62\00:50:06.10
in their foreheads.
So, God's servants are
00:50:06.11\00:50:07.58
gonna be sealed
aren't they? Now Pastor
00:50:07.59\00:50:10.63
Scott is gonna do
a study on the mark
00:50:10.64\00:50:12.41
of the beast and
we are gonna find out
00:50:12.42\00:50:13.39
that the mark or
that seal that God has and
00:50:13.40\00:50:15.20
the mark that the
devil has is not a open clear
00:50:15.21\00:50:17.51
like this tattoo
that is gonna come across
00:50:17.52\00:50:18.89
and stamp
everybody on the hand or
00:50:19.33\00:50:20.30
forehead with
the tattoo but its,
00:50:20.31\00:50:21.58
we will find out what
that's all about later
00:50:22.25\00:50:23.85
on in another study
but we do know that God's
00:50:23.86\00:50:26.01
people are sealed.
Now we are gonna find
00:50:26.02\00:50:28.54
out so are the devil's
people there are sealed
00:50:28.55\00:50:30.66
as well. Go on with me
to Revelation chapter 7,
00:50:30.67\00:50:33.52
now we just done
Revelation chapter 7,
00:50:34.30\00:50:35.52
we're going to
Revelation chapter 13 verse
00:50:35.53\00:50:37.29
16 and 17.
Revelation chapter 13 verse 16
00:50:37.30\00:50:41.32
and 17, Mrs.
Gloria, do you want to read
00:50:42.88\00:50:46.79
that one for us? 16 sir,
yes ma'am, he causes all,
00:50:46.80\00:50:54.80
he causes all
both small and great,
00:50:55.96\00:50:58.69
rich and poor, free
and slave, to receive a
00:50:59.64\00:51:04.13
mark on their right
hand, or in their foreheads:
00:51:04.14\00:51:07.84
And that no one may buy or sell,
00:51:08.88\00:51:12.27
except one who
has the mark of a name
00:51:14.62\00:51:18.41
of the beast or
the number of his name.
00:51:18.94\00:51:22.68
So, you find out now
that the dragon or the
00:51:23.17\00:51:25.35
antichrist also, he
has a mark or a seal that
00:51:25.36\00:51:29.32
he forced that he put
on who? His followers,
00:51:29.33\00:51:32.44
his followers
have this mark or seal.
00:51:33.59\00:51:34.75
So, God has a mark or
a seal that his followers
00:51:35.07\00:51:37.16
have and the
antichrist has a mark or seal
00:51:37.17\00:51:39.14
that his followers have,
very interesting isn't it?
00:51:39.74\00:51:41.49
I know many people who
say just avoid all marks,
00:51:41.95\00:51:43.87
everybody is gonna
get marked one way or
00:51:45.17\00:51:46.14
another right, they
are gonna be sealed or
00:51:46.15\00:51:47.18
marked one way or another.
00:51:47.19\00:51:48.16
Now the last part of
this of the study here
00:51:48.79\00:51:51.65
is to me like the
most interesting when
00:51:52.71\00:51:55.01
you find out the
ministry of Jesus Christ
00:51:55.02\00:51:56.51
and the impersonation
that the devil does there,
00:51:57.04\00:51:59.03
first of all I'm
gonna go through these right
00:51:59.04\00:52:00.53
here on myself in
Luke chapter 3 and verse 21
00:52:00.54\00:52:02.73
we find out that
the Jesus Christ rather,
00:52:02.74\00:52:05.00
Jesus Christ begins
his ministry remember
00:52:05.01\00:52:07.78
how he began his
ministry Jesus was baptized
00:52:07.79\00:52:09.94
and he began his
ministry by coming up out
00:52:10.53\00:52:11.87
of the water. So
Jesus starts his ministry by
00:52:11.88\00:52:13.96
coming up out of the
water. And that's Luke
00:52:13.97\00:52:16.59
chapter 3 verse 21
and then when you get to,
00:52:16.60\00:52:18.87
the next part
of Jesus' ministry,
00:52:20.17\00:52:21.65
Jesus ministry last
three and half years.
00:52:22.17\00:52:24.95
Jesus ministry last
three and half years,
00:52:25.76\00:52:27.02
we know that if you
go to the Gospel of John
00:52:27.58\00:52:28.78
you can count the
Passovers in the Gospel
00:52:29.24\00:52:30.21
of John and we
know his ministry last
00:52:30.22\00:52:31.52
basically 27 the fall
27 AD to the spring of
00:52:31.53\00:52:34.80
31 AD three and
one half years. So,
00:52:34.81\00:52:36.79
he begins his
ministry by coming up out
00:52:37.34\00:52:38.99
of the water, his
ministry lasts three
00:52:39.00\00:52:40.69
and half years and
you know what happens
00:52:40.70\00:52:42.12
at the end of
Jesus' three and half years
00:52:42.13\00:52:43.77
according to John
chapter 12 and verse 32
00:52:43.78\00:52:45.60
and 33, Jesus says
in John chapter 12 verse
00:52:45.61\00:52:48.70
32 and 33, And I, if
I be lifted up will draw
00:52:48.71\00:52:52.89
all men unto
myself. Now those slides
00:52:53.37\00:52:56.28
I guess I should have
put those on the screen
00:52:56.29\00:52:57.51
there but there are
in the study guides you
00:52:57.52\00:53:00.46
can get those at www.
comeexperiencelife.com
00:53:00.47\00:53:02.59
you can download those.
I'll put the first one up
00:53:02.60\00:53:03.91
there Luke
chapter 3 and verse 21,
00:53:03.92\00:53:05.66
Luke 3:21 tells you
that Jesus begins his
00:53:06.15\00:53:08.38
ministry by rising
up out of the water.
00:53:08.39\00:53:10.30
That's Luke
chapter 3 and verse 21,
00:53:10.76\00:53:12.18
it's on the screen
now. And then after that
00:53:12.19\00:53:14.79
takes place, after he
does that the next one
00:53:14.80\00:53:17.58
even it will be on
the screen we don't go
00:53:17.59\00:53:18.98
through these texts.
When I give this Bible
00:53:18.99\00:53:20.40
study I just
reference it because its
00:53:20.41\00:53:22.27
John chapter 2,
5, 6 and 19, right,
00:53:22.28\00:53:25.35
and we don't go
read these whole chapters
00:53:25.36\00:53:26.33
but basically
what you find in these
00:53:26.34\00:53:27.56
chapters are you
counting the Passovers
00:53:27.57\00:53:29.32
that Jesus went
through in his ministry three
00:53:29.85\00:53:31.58
and half years. It's
the only gospel that gives
00:53:31.59\00:53:33.46
all that detail
there and that's the Gospel
00:53:33.47\00:53:36.01
of John. And then after
the three and half years
00:53:36.02\00:53:38.45
of Jesus ministry
at the end of that time
00:53:38.46\00:53:40.69
according to John
chapter 12 verse 32 and
00:53:40.70\00:53:42.77
33 and I've had that
one on the screen the guys
00:53:42.78\00:53:44.85
taking care of the
slides little crazy when
00:53:45.54\00:53:47.14
I do this, I'm gonna,
they are gonna have me,
00:53:47.15\00:53:49.26
have them hide after this right.
00:53:49.27\00:53:50.85
I jumped ahead of
myself little bit but John
00:53:51.71\00:53:53.08
chapter 12 verses
32 and 33 tells us that
00:53:53.09\00:53:56.38
Jesus he says I if I
be lifted up will draw
00:53:56.39\00:53:58.91
all men unto me, I if
I be lifted up will draw
00:53:59.97\00:54:02.25
all men unto me,
Jessica, why don't you go
00:54:02.26\00:54:03.96
and read that one,
do you have that one
00:54:03.97\00:54:05.01
John chapter 12,
do you have at handy.
00:54:05.02\00:54:06.46
Actually, actually who
has at handy right now?
00:54:07.53\00:54:09.38
Tom you go ahead and do that,
00:54:09.39\00:54:10.77
John chapter 12 verse 32 and 33.
00:54:12.66\00:54:15.05
And I, if I'm
lifted up from the earth,
00:54:15.06\00:54:16.28
would draw all
peoples under myself.
00:54:16.29\00:54:18.49
This he said signifying
by what death he would die.
00:54:19.44\00:54:22.50
So Jesus says that He
is going to be lifted up
00:54:24.34\00:54:27.22
and draw all to
Himself. How was He lifted up?
00:54:27.23\00:54:28.96
What happened? Yeah,
He was signifying what
00:54:28.97\00:54:31.46
death He would
die there, the Cross,
00:54:31.47\00:54:32.70
the death on
the Cross. So Jesus,
00:54:32.71\00:54:34.26
now check this out,
He begin to Minister
00:54:34.27\00:54:35.80
by rising up out of the water.
00:54:35.81\00:54:36.78
He's ministered last
three and half years.
00:54:37.50\00:54:38.60
At the end of the
three and half years,
00:54:39.24\00:54:40.21
he receives a deadly
wound, He is crucified.
00:54:40.22\00:54:41.71
But you know what happens after
00:54:42.37\00:54:43.34
He receives that
deadly wound, right.
00:54:43.35\00:54:44.32
Yeah, the deadly
wound is healed because
00:54:45.05\00:54:46.13
He is resurrected
and then all the world
00:54:46.46\00:54:48.02
follows after Jesus.
Now you know the devil
00:54:48.03\00:54:49.96
is not going to be
outdone by that, right.
00:54:49.97\00:54:51.27
And we figured out
that the Antichrist,
00:54:52.06\00:54:53.51
who wanted to
mimic Jesus Christ,
00:54:53.52\00:54:54.98
the Antichrist in
Revelation Chapter 13
00:54:54.99\00:54:56.74
where we are going to next,
00:54:56.75\00:54:57.72
Revelation 13:1;
Jessica, you want to read
00:54:57.73\00:55:03.37
that point in Revelation 13:1?
00:55:03.38\00:55:04.77
And now in my vision
I saw beast rising up
00:55:08.31\00:55:10.79
out of the sea. It
had seven heads and
00:55:10.80\00:55:13.74
ten horns, with ten
crowns on its horns.
00:55:14.55\00:55:17.18
And written on each head were
00:55:17.74\00:55:19.06
names that blasphemed God.
00:55:19.07\00:55:21.39
Okay, so the Antichrist
power begins his ministry
00:55:23.36\00:55:25.16
by doing what, rising
up out of where, the sea.
00:55:25.17\00:55:27.61
Jesus begin his
Ministry by coming up out
00:55:27.62\00:55:29.37
of the water. The
Antichrist begins his
00:55:29.38\00:55:31.19
Ministry by coming
up out of the water.
00:55:31.20\00:55:32.41
Both of them begin
coming up of the water.
00:55:32.97\00:55:33.95
And then after the
Antichrist according to
00:55:34.97\00:55:36.45
Revelation 13:1;
comes up out of the water.
00:55:36.46\00:55:38.10
We are going to Revelation 13:5,
00:55:38.11\00:55:40.19
Revelation 13:5 and
we are going to look
00:55:40.20\00:55:42.74
at in paragraph once
again, of Jesus' Ministry
00:55:42.75\00:55:45.16
versus the Antichrist Ministry.
00:55:45.17\00:55:46.32
I would read this one
in Verse 5, this time.
00:55:46.33\00:55:48.20
"And there was
given unto him a mouth
00:55:49.01\00:55:50.00
speaking great
things and blasphemies;
00:55:50.01\00:55:51.92
and power was given
unto him to continue,
00:55:52.48\00:55:53.78
for how long, 42
months". Now how long
00:55:53.79\00:55:56.01
is 42 months when
you divide that up by 12?
00:55:56.02\00:55:57.79
Three and half years!
Isn't that fascinating?
00:55:58.53\00:56:00.26
So you find out that
Jesus Christ begins by
00:56:00.27\00:56:02.58
coming up out of the water,
00:56:02.59\00:56:03.56
the Antichrist
begins by coming up out of
00:56:03.57\00:56:04.81
the water. Jesus
Christ goes on his Ministry
00:56:04.82\00:56:06.83
lasts three and half
years, the Antichrist
00:56:06.84\00:56:07.81
Ministry lasts
three and half years.
00:56:07.82\00:56:09.98
Then what happens in
the Antichrist Ministry?
00:56:10.91\00:56:12.23
Well let's find out, as we go to
00:56:12.73\00:56:13.86
Revelation Chapter
13, we are still in
00:56:13.87\00:56:15.26
Revelation 13:3, and
I will take that one.
00:56:15.27\00:56:17.43
"And I saw one of his
heads as it were wounded
00:56:19.17\00:56:20.77
to death; and his
deadly wound was healed; and
00:56:20.78\00:56:22.67
all the world
wondered after the beast."
00:56:23.38\00:56:25.75
Isn't that
fascinating? Every truth
00:56:26.58\00:56:28.72
that Jesus has, the
devil has his counterfeit.
00:56:28.73\00:56:31.30
And the Bible says
that when Jesus after
00:56:32.04\00:56:34.09
He receives His deadly wound,
00:56:34.10\00:56:35.23
His deadly wound
is healed and He said,
00:56:35.43\00:56:36.40
"I, if I am lifted up,
will draw all men under me",
00:56:36.41\00:56:38.36
the Antichrist
not to be outdone,
00:56:38.37\00:56:39.93
his ministry lasts
three and half prophetic years
00:56:40.47\00:56:42.42
and we will learn
more about that later on
00:56:42.89\00:56:43.86
today for hearing
about prophecy and that
00:56:43.87\00:56:45.32
kind of thing,
but his Ministry lasts
00:56:45.33\00:56:46.69
three and half
prophetic years and at the end
00:56:46.70\00:56:48.56
of that timeframe
the Antichrist receives
00:56:48.57\00:56:50.31
a deadly wound, the
deadly wound is healed
00:56:50.32\00:56:52.23
and all the world
would wander after him.
00:56:52.56\00:56:53.86
And that's exactly
what is taking place.
00:56:54.50\00:56:55.56
The parallel that
the Antichrist has versus
00:56:57.19\00:56:59.39
what Jesus Christ
has. Now that probably
00:56:59.40\00:57:01.87
was the most
powerful of the comparison
00:57:01.88\00:57:03.62
to look at. But once
again it does us no good
00:57:03.63\00:57:06.78
to know about who
the Antichrist is,
00:57:07.70\00:57:08.90
unless as the
Bible says we know who
00:57:09.71\00:57:11.32
Jesus Christ is. So
the last text in our study
00:57:11.33\00:57:13.50
will go to in
John 17:3, John 17:3,
00:57:13.51\00:57:21.42
the Bible says this, John 17:3;
00:57:23.38\00:57:25.89
is everybody there.
"And this is life eternal,
00:57:25.90\00:57:28.53
that they might know
thee the only true God,
00:57:29.59\00:57:31.20
and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent."
00:57:32.20\00:57:34.00
How is that we
have eternal life?
00:57:34.71\00:57:35.68
By knowing Jesus
Christ, and now that we have
00:57:36.94\00:57:39.31
set the stage here with
the Antichrist part one,
00:57:39.88\00:57:41.60
we will be ready
for Antichrist part two.
00:57:42.28\00:57:44.01
