Harvest truly is plenteous, 00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95 but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore, 00:00:02.96\00:00:05.03 the Lord of the harvest, that he will, 00:00:05.04\00:00:07.20 he will send forth laborers into his harvest. 00:00:07.21\00:00:10.27 Also, I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 00:00:10.28\00:00:13.57 "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" 00:00:13.58\00:00:17.96 Then said I, "Here am I, send me, send me". 00:00:17.97\00:00:23.54 Life on the Edge will enable you to be an 00:00:23.55\00:00:25.68 effective harvester for the Lord. 00:00:25.69\00:00:27.91 We now invite you into our 00:00:27.92\00:00:29.39 classroom to come, experience Life. 00:00:29.40\00:00:33.85 Welcome back again to the 00:00:43.47\00:00:44.61 Lay Institute for Evangelism. 00:00:44.62\00:00:46.16 Right now we're gonna be discussing part two 00:00:46.17\00:00:48.75 of a study we started just 00:00:48.76\00:00:50.25 a little while ago on the Remnant Church. 00:00:50.26\00:00:52.01 We're gonna be discussing the Remnant Church 00:00:52.02\00:00:53.39 that God has from Bible Prophecy you might say, 00:00:53.40\00:00:57.13 it's the Remnant Church of Bible Prophecy. 00:00:57.14\00:00:59.93 Many people that they hear someone it, 00:00:59.94\00:01:01.79 something say like oh it's the Remnant Church, 00:01:01.80\00:01:04.01 it almost sounds like you're being exclusive like 00:01:04.02\00:01:06.24 there is no other Remnant and well, that's true. 00:01:06.25\00:01:08.35 Biblically there is only one true Church 00:01:08.36\00:01:10.02 in the world in the last days. 00:01:10.03\00:01:12.09 And as you look at these identifying characteristics, 00:01:12.10\00:01:13.98 I want you at home and all of us here 00:01:13.99\00:01:16.03 actually to ask yourself, is the Church 00:01:16.04\00:01:18.16 that I'm going to or maybe 00:01:18.17\00:01:19.16 you're not going to any Church at all. 00:01:19.17\00:01:20.22 But the Church that I'm attending, 00:01:20.23\00:01:21.92 does it fit these characteristics 00:01:21.93\00:01:23.35 and if it doesn't, maybe it will benefit us 00:01:23.36\00:01:25.42 to be looking for the Church that does 00:01:25.43\00:01:27.18 fit the characteristics that God has. 00:01:27.19\00:01:28.56 He's gonna have a remnant in the 00:01:28.57\00:01:29.72 last days according to the Bible. 00:01:29.73\00:01:31.01 And that's what we're gonna be studying more 00:01:31.02\00:01:32.59 so now as we get into the second half 00:01:32.60\00:01:34.92 of the remnant church Bible study 00:01:34.93\00:01:36.35 here at Pine Lake Retreat. 00:01:36.36\00:01:38.98 In the, once again, beautiful sunny Florida. 00:01:38.99\00:01:42.46 It's not quite as beautiful as it is in Kentucky, 00:01:42.47\00:01:45.23 but it's really beautiful, I like it. 00:01:45.24\00:01:47.33 You know, I like the heat, I got to admit 00:01:47.34\00:01:49.10 I like the heat here but, and I like the humidity. 00:01:49.11\00:01:52.33 I just love that, I love going outside 00:01:52.34\00:01:53.72 and getting all hot and sweaty, 00:01:53.73\00:01:54.70 no problem with that. But there's no hills. 00:01:54.71\00:01:58.41 And there's like nobody here that lives in a hallway. 00:01:58.42\00:02:00.19 So, you know, that's one of the things 00:02:02.06\00:02:03.24 I missed about Kentucky is being in the hills, 00:02:03.25\00:02:05.16 you know, being in the hills. 00:02:05.17\00:02:06.25 Other than that I love it here at 00:02:06.26\00:02:07.24 Pine Lake, here in Florida. 00:02:07.25\00:02:08.68 And I know that God has us here for a purpose 00:02:08.69\00:02:10.69 and the purpose specifically 00:02:10.70\00:02:12.17 right now is to help other people 00:02:12.18\00:02:14.38 become effective soul winners for Christ. 00:02:14.39\00:02:16.04 And then one of the ways we're doing that, 00:02:16.05\00:02:17.35 learning to become effective soul winners is, 00:02:17.36\00:02:19.21 as we're going through marking 00:02:19.22\00:02:20.20 our Bibles up with these Bible studies. 00:02:20.21\00:02:22.12 We're gonna be take our Bibles 00:02:22.13\00:02:23.52 and go into homes and go into people, 00:02:23.53\00:02:25.53 whether it be in our homes or just on 00:02:25.54\00:02:26.70 our workplace or wherever we're at. 00:02:26.71\00:02:28.21 And share the truth of God's word from just the Bible. 00:02:28.22\00:02:30.97 So I wanna encourage you guys here to continue 00:02:30.98\00:02:32.58 marking your Bibles up and have them all done. 00:02:32.59\00:02:34.16 You'll be glad you did and I wanna encourage 00:02:34.17\00:02:35.83 the people at home to be doing the same thing. 00:02:35.84\00:02:37.90 Get your Bibles out, get your pencils out. 00:02:37.91\00:02:39.53 You know, the best thing 00:02:39.54\00:02:40.70 to use as far the pencil goes, 00:02:40.71\00:02:41.91 for the people at home or not for sure. 00:02:41.92\00:02:44.51 I think we covered it with you guys 00:02:44.52\00:02:45.62 but seems like we did before we entered the classroom. 00:02:45.63\00:02:48.01 But one of the best pencils you can have 00:02:48.02\00:02:49.44 and mine happens to be missing, 00:02:49.45\00:02:50.59 usually sits up here. But I like to get the, 00:02:50.60\00:02:52.40 it's a five millimeter lead, that smaller lead. 00:02:52.41\00:02:54.74 You can get a three millimeter lead 00:02:54.75\00:02:56.51 but it tends to sometimes tear 00:02:56.52\00:02:57.84 through the paper and things like that. 00:02:57.85\00:02:59.49 But with a five millimeter lead, 00:02:59.50\00:03:00.65 one of those clicker pencils, you know, 00:03:00.66\00:03:01.77 you click the lead, make it come out. 00:03:01.78\00:03:03.08 You can, it make, it writes this small enough, 00:03:03.09\00:03:04.68 so you can get in between all the lines 00:03:04.69\00:03:05.81 and everything in your Bible and get it all marked up. 00:03:05.82\00:03:08.09 And I put notes in there and you know, 00:03:08.10\00:03:10.24 go to this text, go to that text. 00:03:10.25\00:03:11.52 And what's really nice too, Tim is, sometimes 00:03:11.53\00:03:14.44 like I'll be put on a spot, I be like at 00:03:14.45\00:03:16.58 a Church or something, they'll say, hey, 00:03:16.59\00:03:17.74 can you handle the evening worship 00:03:17.75\00:03:19.09 or the evening devotionals. 00:03:19.10\00:03:20.21 And I have that times, 00:03:20.22\00:03:21.46 when I put on a spot like that. 00:03:21.47\00:03:22.65 I'll just go to one of our Bible studies 00:03:22.66\00:03:23.94 I have here and just take part of it out. 00:03:23.95\00:03:26.34 And use that as a message. 00:03:26.35\00:03:27.91 You know, just cut out some of the 00:03:27.92\00:03:29.32 part of it and just preach from that, 00:03:29.33\00:03:30.68 give a devotional, it's the word of God in truth. 00:03:30.69\00:03:33.68 And so it's still a powerful presentation, 00:03:33.69\00:03:35.68 a powerful message, not because 00:03:35.69\00:03:37.06 of the messenger understand. 00:03:37.07\00:03:38.64 But because of the messages being given. 00:03:38.65\00:03:39.98 So you having your Bible marked up like this, 00:03:39.99\00:03:41.89 you also learn that as you're studying 00:03:41.90\00:03:44.49 the Lord will give you an idea and you'll say, 00:03:44.50\00:03:46.23 just out of habit, you'll start putting 00:03:46.24\00:03:47.37 a little bit of note in your Bible. 00:03:47.38\00:03:48.69 I got little stars and highlights 00:03:48.70\00:03:50.07 and stuff all through my Bible. 00:03:50.08\00:03:51.33 I thought about when I left my Church in 00:03:51.34\00:03:53.38 Louisville auctioning it off, 00:03:53.39\00:03:54.65 you know, like somebody can have all the 00:03:54.66\00:03:56.07 sermons and everything all marked out. 00:03:56.08\00:03:57.77 But we could have given it to the 00:03:57.78\00:03:59.58 pathfinder or something like that. 00:03:59.59\00:04:00.71 But there were several people say, 00:04:00.72\00:04:02.13 I like to have, as a matter of fact, 00:04:02.14\00:04:03.11 one lady actually brought me 00:04:03.12\00:04:04.70 a brand new Bible, just like the one I have. 00:04:04.71\00:04:06.73 And I think she is kind of thinking 00:04:06.74\00:04:08.15 I would give her my old one. 00:04:08.16\00:04:09.19 And I think I'm gonna go ahead 00:04:10.44\00:04:11.98 and do that after I get my new one all marked up. 00:04:11.99\00:04:14.34 So I'll give her my old one so. 00:04:14.35\00:04:16.24 There's something about going through 00:04:16.25\00:04:17.52 marking your Bible up and studying it that way, 00:04:17.53\00:04:20.10 to where you always have something to give. 00:04:20.11\00:04:22.22 You always have something to give somebody else 00:04:22.23\00:04:23.57 from the word of God if you do that. 00:04:23.58\00:04:25.30 So some people think that some, 00:04:25.31\00:04:27.18 really bad to write in the Bible, 00:04:28.70\00:04:29.87 mark in the Bible. I'm not changing 00:04:29.88\00:04:31.01 the words of the Bible understand, 00:04:31.02\00:04:33.00 I'm not going and saying, oh I don't like this 00:04:33.01\00:04:35.04 and writing over the words. 00:04:35.05\00:04:36.48 I'm just making notes along the sides. 00:04:36.49\00:04:38.16 So we're not defiling the word of God here, 00:04:38.17\00:04:39.69 we'r just writing in the pages beside it. 00:04:39.70\00:04:42.13 Okay, now they got that out of the way, where was I? 00:04:42.14\00:04:44.73 Oh we've just finished the first 00:04:44.74\00:04:48.16 half of the Remnant Church study 00:04:48.17\00:04:50.23 and we're going in the second half now. 00:04:50.24\00:04:51.62 Here the title of the study 00:04:51.63\00:04:52.62 once again is, the Remnant Church. 00:04:52.63\00:04:54.94 And the purpose of the study we looked that already 00:04:54.95\00:05:00.04 is to show that God, show that Christ word 00:05:00.05\00:05:02.22 is leading all of His sheep into one fold. 00:05:02.23\00:05:05.07 God does have one fold in the last days, 00:05:05.08\00:05:06.88 one flock, and how they can't tell who that is. 00:05:06.89\00:05:08.87 And the description doesn't come 00:05:08.88\00:05:10.44 from a name of a Church. 00:05:10.45\00:05:11.53 Remember to look at that, the description comes from 00:05:11.54\00:05:13.48 what the Bible teaches that 00:05:13.49\00:05:15.04 His people will be doing, the characteristics. 00:05:15.05\00:05:16.95 That's how you have to find the Church to go to. 00:05:16.96\00:05:19.52 You know, in U.S. some people go to Church 00:05:19.53\00:05:21.08 because it's the closest Church to their home. 00:05:21.09\00:05:23.79 Other people go to Church because 00:05:23.80\00:05:24.91 well that's what I was raised to do. 00:05:24.92\00:05:26.23 I was raised to go to this Church, right. 00:05:26.24\00:05:28.07 Other people go to the Church because 00:05:28.08\00:05:29.18 they think the pastor is good looking. 00:05:29.19\00:05:30.38 That wasn't the cast at my Church. 00:05:30.39\00:05:31.66 Well maybe, no, I'm just kidding. 00:05:33.12\00:05:34.31 I'm gonna say, Pastor Scott's Church. 00:05:35.47\00:05:36.64 Anyway, but people go to Churches 00:05:37.98\00:05:39.29 for different reasons don't they. 00:05:39.30\00:05:41.11 They go to Church for different reasons 00:05:41.12\00:05:42.15 and the only reason, the only main reason you 00:05:42.16\00:05:44.51 should go to attend the Church that you attend 00:05:44.52\00:05:46.67 should be because they teach what the Bible teaches. 00:05:46.68\00:05:49.17 And if you looked at the Bible you said okay, 00:05:49.18\00:05:50.58 the Bible teaches this, I'm gonna follow that. 00:05:50.59\00:05:53.22 And I got to find a Church that teaches what the 00:05:53.23\00:05:54.78 Bible teaches and then you go find that Church. 00:05:54.79\00:05:56.69 Some people do it the other way around, 00:05:56.70\00:05:57.92 you know, they just saying, well I'm gonna find 00:05:57.93\00:05:59.50 a Church that tells me what the Bible teaches 00:05:59.51\00:06:00.94 and I'll believe what they teach. 00:06:00.95\00:06:01.92 And that's not, that's not the appropriate way 00:06:02.97\00:06:04.45 or because my parents did it or whatever. 00:06:04.46\00:06:06.79 And we're gonna be doing, what we're doing here 00:06:06.80\00:06:08.14 this is a difficult study 00:06:08.15\00:06:09.74 for many people to understand, 00:06:09.75\00:06:11.18 because in most people's mindset. 00:06:11.19\00:06:12.89 You know, just think about it, 00:06:12.90\00:06:13.94 you're raised a certain way, 00:06:13.95\00:06:15.48 you're raised with a certain number of beliefs 00:06:15.49\00:06:16.96 and certain kind of beliefs no matter 00:06:16.97\00:06:18.48 what whether it's Christian or non-Christian like I was. 00:06:18.49\00:06:20.95 But you just, you're raised 00:06:20.96\00:06:22.07 with a certain kind of belief. 00:06:22.08\00:06:23.07 So therefore if you ever decide, 00:06:23.08\00:06:24.75 you know, like the Spirit of God's working 00:06:24.76\00:06:26.03 on your heart, you wanna go find a Church. 00:06:26.04\00:06:27.47 Sometimes, most of the time people just say well, 00:06:27.48\00:06:29.51 I got to go find somebody that believes what I do. 00:06:29.52\00:06:31.10 Without ever even investigating the Bible. 00:06:32.50\00:06:33.99 So what you believe must first come through 00:06:34.00\00:06:35.51 the Bible and the Church you attend. 00:06:35.52\00:06:37.04 You want it, also what comes in the Bible, don't you. 00:06:37.05\00:06:39.27 And that's why we're going through this study. 00:06:39.28\00:06:40.40 We're gonna look at the identifying characteristics, 00:06:40.41\00:06:42.71 all of them that shows that God does have 00:06:42.72\00:06:44.87 His sheep in the last days. 00:06:44.88\00:06:46.10 He has the one fold, the one flock, 00:06:46.11\00:06:47.86 we just got to find it. All right. 00:06:47.87\00:06:51.03 And now we're looking at the center 00:06:51.04\00:06:52.22 of the study, we're centering it. 00:06:52.23\00:06:53.72 Of course every study is centered on Jesus Christ. 00:06:53.73\00:06:56.58 Though we start off here, Jesus has a true Church 00:06:56.59\00:06:58.74 in the last, the word day should be inserted in there. 00:06:58.75\00:07:01.80 It should say the last days, just like He had 00:07:01.81\00:07:04.33 a true Church in the time of the disciples. 00:07:04.34\00:07:06.85 So after Christ was the ascended, 00:07:06.86\00:07:08.79 and went up to heaven. 00:07:08.80\00:07:09.83 Did you know that Peter and James 00:07:09.84\00:07:11.55 and John and Matthew and all the disciples, 00:07:11.56\00:07:14.42 did you know that they did go like start 00:07:14.43\00:07:15.59 one Church over here on this corner 00:07:15.60\00:07:17.34 called the Church of Matthew, 00:07:17.35\00:07:18.70 and over here was the Church of Paul 00:07:18.71\00:07:20.30 and over here was the Church of Jesus, 00:07:20.31\00:07:22.49 and over here was the. They didn't do that, right. 00:07:22.50\00:07:25.13 They had all things in common 00:07:25.14\00:07:26.91 the Bible says, right. 00:07:26.92\00:07:28.65 And they had the same beliefs 00:07:28.66\00:07:30.28 and the day of Pentecost when they preached, 00:07:30.29\00:07:31.98 they all didn't preach different messages. 00:07:31.99\00:07:34.37 They were all preaching the same truth from God's word. 00:07:34.38\00:07:36.22 And the Church that was born right there, 00:07:36.23\00:07:38.25 all had certain characteristics 00:07:38.26\00:07:39.58 and certain ideas and certain plans. 00:07:39.59\00:07:41.99 And that has carried through the centuries. 00:07:42.00\00:07:45.07 An obscurity at times, but it's carried through, 00:07:45.08\00:07:46.82 and it's carried through all the way down 00:07:46.83\00:07:47.96 to these last days, the times we're living in. 00:07:47.97\00:07:50.11 There is a people, there are people, 00:07:50.12\00:07:51.73 how do you say that, somebody that knows English. 00:07:51.74\00:07:54.33 There is a people or there are a people? 00:07:54.34\00:07:55.70 No one else knows? Well I feel better. 00:07:56.73\00:07:58.03 There are a people, okay. There is a people. 00:07:59.96\00:08:01.77 This half says, there are people, 00:08:03.28\00:08:04.46 and this half says, there is people. 00:08:04.47\00:08:05.90 And so the solution will be the guy at home 00:08:05.91\00:08:08.16 who is an English professor and he's throwing things 00:08:08.17\00:08:09.62 at his television right now. There is a group of people. 00:08:09.63\00:08:13.37 But there is a group of people 00:08:13.38\00:08:15.46 that's keeping God's truth alive. 00:08:15.47\00:08:18.47 They always have been, has been. 00:08:18.48\00:08:20.69 Let's carry on. Remember we left off, 00:08:22.89\00:08:25.04 we've done the first half, 00:08:25.05\00:08:26.06 we're into the second half now. 00:08:26.07\00:08:27.54 We left off in the first half 00:08:27.55\00:08:28.59 and we discovered according to Revelation chapter 12, 00:08:28.60\00:08:32.07 we looked at verse 1, and there appeared 00:08:32.08\00:08:33.66 a wonder in heaven; they had a woman 00:08:33.67\00:08:35.03 standing on the moon, clothed with the sun, 00:08:35.04\00:08:36.67 had the stars about her head, 00:08:36.68\00:08:37.89 that kind of thing, right. 00:08:37.90\00:08:38.91 And we know it's symbolic and we know 00:08:38.92\00:08:40.20 that it's representing God's Church or God's people. 00:08:40.21\00:08:43.25 And when the devil could not destroy them 00:08:43.26\00:08:45.84 by attacking the sun, who is Jesus Christ, 00:08:45.85\00:08:48.05 it couldn't attack him anymore because 00:08:48.06\00:08:49.43 he was taken away to heaven. 00:08:49.44\00:08:50.72 Then the devil turned his focus to who? 00:08:50.73\00:08:53.16 The Church or God's remaining people. 00:08:53.17\00:08:55.33 That's where he turned his focus to. 00:08:55.34\00:08:56.99 The remaining people or who remained in the remnant. 00:08:57.00\00:08:59.72 And so the woman according to verse 6, 00:08:59.73\00:09:01.25 went into the wilderness, 00:09:01.26\00:09:03.80 and she had a place prepared there of God 00:09:03.81\00:09:05.58 for 1260 days and we looked at when we finished 00:09:05.59\00:09:09.92 off that according to the Bible we have Ezekiel 4:6, 00:09:09.93\00:09:13.74 Numbers 14:34 and Luke 13:31 through 33 00:09:13.75\00:09:18.04 that teaches us that if you have 00:09:18.05\00:09:19.89 a biblical prophetic lay when you're talking 00:09:19.90\00:09:22.32 symbolically in the Bible if you have 00:09:22.33\00:09:23.72 a day it equals to a year. 00:09:23.73\00:09:25.29 So there are 1260 days will literally be 1260 years. 00:09:25.30\00:09:29.74 And you remember, we've done the 00:09:29.75\00:09:30.74 anti-Christ study we found out that in the Bible, 00:09:30.75\00:09:34.05 you have that term, that 1260 year time frame 00:09:34.06\00:09:38.42 is the most prevalent time prophecy in all the Bible. 00:09:38.43\00:09:41.65 It's in there how many times does anybody remember? 00:09:41.66\00:09:44.36 Seven, you all remember that seven, 00:09:44.37\00:09:46.44 you know, the perfect number is seven, right. 00:09:46.45\00:09:48.60 And so it's in there seven times. 00:09:48.61\00:09:49.58 It's like four times in the Book of Daniel, 00:09:49.59\00:09:51.15 No three times in Daniel and four 00:09:51.16\00:09:52.29 in Revelation, the other away round. 00:09:52.30\00:09:53.31 I'm not remembering right now, 00:09:53.32\00:09:54.61 often top of my head but its one or the other. 00:09:54.62\00:09:56.46 Total seven times. And this is one of them here 00:09:56.47\00:09:58.92 and that timeframe that timeframe is the time 00:09:58.93\00:10:01.49 that the anti-Christ power will be suppressing 00:10:01.50\00:10:03.87 God's people and we know that 00:10:03.88\00:10:05.01 lasted through the dark ages. 00:10:05.02\00:10:06.37 And that timeframe was from 00:10:06.38\00:10:07.86 538 to 1798, that's exactly right. 00:10:07.87\00:10:12.11 I got one person answering all the questions up here, 00:10:12.12\00:10:14.21 I'm so glad that Shalita sits in the front row. 00:10:14.22\00:10:16.44 She loves it when I embarrass her like that. 00:10:17.59\00:10:19.45 But she gives me all the answers, 00:10:19.46\00:10:20.83 I know that there are those people at home 00:10:20.84\00:10:22.01 can't hear it and some people can hear her here. 00:10:22.02\00:10:24.23 I know the folks here all know the answers, 00:10:24.24\00:10:26.54 but she is the one who is voicing it for me. 00:10:26.55\00:10:27.80 I appreciate it, Shalita. Thank you. 00:10:27.81\00:10:30.95 So anyway, the Church then according 00:10:30.96\00:10:33.13 to what we looked at, it says here in verse 6, 00:10:33.14\00:10:35.17 that we would go into the wilderness for how long? 00:10:35.18\00:10:37.73 1260 years. So would God's 00:10:37.74\00:10:40.98 Remnant Church be in open and everybody seeing 00:10:40.99\00:10:44.64 knowing where it is during that time. 00:10:44.65\00:10:46.91 No, it will be in hiding. 00:10:46.92\00:10:48.29 But then after that time of 00:10:48.30\00:10:49.29 hiding you know it's gonna come up. 00:10:49.30\00:10:50.56 And look what happens when it comes up, 00:10:50.57\00:10:51.82 and that's where we're picking up now in verse 13, 00:10:51.83\00:10:53.73 Revelation chapter 12 and verse 13. 00:10:53.74\00:10:55.90 And if I'm not mistaken I believe Bill was 00:10:55.91\00:10:58.11 reading verses two to six wasn't he? 00:10:58.12\00:10:59.88 No, it was Danielle. You were reading verses two. 00:10:59.89\00:11:04.14 okay you read two through six, all right. 00:11:04.15\00:11:05.38 So I want you to go ahead and read verse 13 00:11:05.39\00:11:06.81 for us as well since we're there. 00:11:06.82\00:11:07.93 Now, when the dragon saw that 00:11:10.21\00:11:11.42 he had been cast to the earth, 00:11:11.43\00:11:12.93 he persecuted the woman 00:11:12.94\00:11:14.21 who gave birth to the male child. 00:11:14.22\00:11:16.30 So when the dragon, who is the dragon? 00:11:16.31\00:11:18.23 Satan. Okay give me a scripture. 00:11:18.24\00:11:19.54 How do we know that the dragon is Satan? 00:11:20.78\00:11:22.23 Revelation 12:9, you got it brother, 00:11:22.24\00:11:25.53 thanks, Tom. Revelation 12:9. 00:11:25.54\00:11:27.59 Yeah it's right there. Remember that, 00:11:27.60\00:11:29.54 because you say, oh we know that the dragon here, 00:11:29.55\00:11:31.37 we know that it is, it is the devil. 00:11:31.38\00:11:33.88 And then someone says, well how do you know that. 00:11:33.89\00:11:35.82 Well its good to have a verse, isn't it to say. 00:11:35.83\00:11:37.96 By the way isn't it fascinating that 00:11:37.97\00:11:39.33 back in the Book of Genesis, that the serpent comes as, 00:11:39.34\00:11:42.38 the devil comes as a serpent right. 00:11:42.39\00:11:44.46 And by the time you get to Revelation 00:11:44.47\00:11:45.59 he is no longer a serpent but what he is? 00:11:45.60\00:11:47.38 A dragon, you all know why it grew to be so big? 00:11:47.39\00:11:49.92 Because we all kept feeding him. 00:11:49.93\00:11:51.91 All right. So he starts off 00:11:51.92\00:11:52.97 as a serpent and he becomes a dragon. 00:11:52.98\00:11:54.63 All the way through the Bible 00:11:54.64\00:11:55.63 he grows into this dragon by the time you get 00:11:55.64\00:11:57.26 to the Book of Revelation and he is angry. 00:11:57.27\00:11:59.75 And who is he angry at? The woman, the Church. 00:11:59.76\00:12:03.00 And why is he angry at her? 00:12:03.01\00:12:04.83 That's what we're gonna go to and find out 00:12:04.84\00:12:06.15 as we're keep moving along here. 00:12:06.16\00:12:07.15 Now I gonna had to skip the next slide 00:12:07.16\00:12:09.25 because it's Ezekiel 4:6 and that was the day 00:12:09.26\00:12:11.16 for your Bible Prophecy we've already covered that. 00:12:11.17\00:12:13.32 We're going to the next slide here which is 00:12:13.33\00:12:15.83 Revelation chapter 12 and verse 17 00:12:15.84\00:12:18.11 and we're gonna see now why it is that the 00:12:18.12\00:12:20.88 devil was angry at this woman? 00:12:20.89\00:12:23.35 Why was he angry at her? Revelation 12:17. 00:12:23.36\00:12:27.06 Is there anybody that has not read that today? 00:12:27.07\00:12:30.29 Anita. All right sister, 00:12:30.30\00:12:32.35 I'm glad you volunteered. 00:12:32.36\00:12:33.35 That smile gave you away sister, 00:12:33.36\00:12:34.58 I know would have guessed. 00:12:34.59\00:12:35.58 I thought you already read once. 00:12:35.59\00:12:36.72 I want you to read Revelation 00:12:36.73\00:12:38.17 chapter 12 and verse 17. 00:12:38.18\00:12:40.16 And look real nicely right into the camera over there. 00:12:40.17\00:12:42.27 You should almost be able to quote 00:12:42.28\00:12:43.25 this one from memory, but go ahead. 00:12:43.26\00:12:44.48 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, 00:12:45.83\00:12:48.37 and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, 00:12:48.38\00:12:51.61 which keep the Commandments of God, 00:12:51.62\00:12:53.59 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 00:12:53.60\00:12:56.21 All right. As we're giving 00:12:56.22\00:12:58.28 this Bible study, this text that you just read is. 00:12:58.29\00:13:02.88 Do I have something on my feet. 00:13:02.89\00:13:04.99 Shelly looking my feet, I got something on me. 00:13:05.00\00:13:06.17 This text you just read is packed with so much stuff. 00:13:06.18\00:13:12.68 I mean, let's just think about it. 00:13:12.69\00:13:13.99 The dragon. Who is the dragon? 00:13:14.00\00:13:15.87 The devil. He is wroth with the woman. 00:13:15.88\00:13:17.82 Who is the woman? A Church now, 00:13:17.83\00:13:20.71 and we covered, we talked about this 00:13:20.72\00:13:22.01 just a little bit in the first half of the study. 00:13:22.02\00:13:25.38 But you know you want to be a part of this Church, why? 00:13:25.39\00:13:27.63 Because the devil hates her. 00:13:28.81\00:13:30.68 If the devil hates her, if the devil's mad at her, 00:13:30.69\00:13:32.52 that's who you want to be a part of. 00:13:32.53\00:13:34.50 If the devil likes her and it's kind of like 00:13:34.51\00:13:36.35 helping her and encouraging her, 00:13:36.36\00:13:37.35 do you want to be part of that. 00:13:37.36\00:13:38.63 Or you want to be right now, 00:13:38.64\00:13:39.78 in this earth because many people do is like well, 00:13:39.79\00:13:41.37 you know, look at how well, how wealthy they are 00:13:41.38\00:13:44.14 and all the things they have 00:13:44.15\00:13:45.19 and all the stuff they're doing. 00:13:45.20\00:13:46.76 If it's not for God, who is blessing them, right. 00:13:46.77\00:13:51.37 And so you can't just be looking at just the blessing 00:13:51.38\00:13:53.54 or the good things that are happening. 00:13:53.55\00:13:55.09 Because according to the Bible the devil is gonna be 00:13:55.10\00:13:56.87 attacking God's people, right. 00:13:56.88\00:13:59.61 He couldn't do anything to them, 00:13:59.62\00:14:01.26 to Jesus because after 00:14:02.29\00:14:03.57 he killed Him, he could do nothing else 00:14:03.58\00:14:04.82 and Jesus has now ascended to heaven. 00:14:04.83\00:14:06.48 So now he turns his attention to God's Church. 00:14:06.49\00:14:08.70 And by the way this Church if you wonder 00:14:08.71\00:14:10.26 who they're and how to identify them. 00:14:10.27\00:14:12.55 This is the next identifying characteristic and... 00:14:12.56\00:14:15.71 I wanna stop here just for second. 00:14:15.72\00:14:16.97 I'm sorry. Just so everybody 00:14:16.98\00:14:18.33 is caught up on the same page. 00:14:18.34\00:14:19.70 What's that identifying characteristics 00:14:20.82\00:14:22.06 through the Church we looked up so far? 00:14:22.07\00:14:24.09 Number one is the pillar and ground of truth. 00:14:24.10\00:14:26.67 They will be teaching God's truth, 00:14:26.68\00:14:27.82 from his word, right. 00:14:27.83\00:14:29.20 Number two is, it will be a woman 00:14:29.21\00:14:31.54 and the devil, the devil would hate her, 00:14:31.55\00:14:33.11 but during a time, there is a certain time 00:14:33.12\00:14:34.69 in earth's history that she'd be hiding. 00:14:34.70\00:14:36.57 What would that timeframe be? 00:14:36.58\00:14:37.80 Yeah, The Dark Ages from 538 to 1798. 00:14:37.81\00:14:42.73 So this group of people that would come on the scene, 00:14:42.74\00:14:45.75 they would had to come on 00:14:45.76\00:14:46.75 the scene sometime after 1798. 00:14:46.76\00:14:49.58 So if you're like a member of a Church. 00:14:49.59\00:14:51.87 It's your Church, let's say my Church 00:14:51.88\00:14:53.59 came in being back in, back in 600. 00:14:53.60\00:14:55.79 Back in year 600 or 700 or something like that. 00:14:55.80\00:14:58.26 Or maybe it came into being in the year 1598 00:14:58.27\00:15:01.74 or some just pick a year, 00:15:01.75\00:15:03.41 that's when my Church came into existence. 00:15:03.42\00:15:05.62 Where would God's Church be during the time of the 00:15:05.63\00:15:07.73 Dark Ages 1260 years? In hiding. 00:15:07.74\00:15:11.41 So if it came on the scene as a prevalent, 00:15:11.42\00:15:13.14 you know, prominent denomination 00:15:13.15\00:15:14.92 or prominent Church during that time, 00:15:14.93\00:15:16.51 can it be part of God's Remnant according 00:15:16.52\00:15:17.86 to that identifying characteristic? 00:15:17.87\00:15:19.84 No. Now we're gonna 00:15:19.85\00:15:20.82 look at another identifying characteristic, 00:15:20.83\00:15:22.85 which is actually even to me it's 00:15:22.86\00:15:24.83 more and more powerful one's and somebody might say, 00:15:24.84\00:15:27.07 well I don't really buy into that whole 1260 years thing. 00:15:27.08\00:15:30.40 I'm not sure that the Church 00:15:30.41\00:15:31.38 will be in obscurity during that time. 00:15:31.39\00:15:32.88 Okay, well if you wanna set that one aside 00:15:32.89\00:15:35.14 that's one of the identifying characteristics. 00:15:35.15\00:15:36.88 But you can set that one aside if you want to, 00:15:36.89\00:15:38.80 but you can't set this next one aside. 00:15:38.81\00:15:40.75 Look at this, Revelation 12:17, 00:15:40.76\00:15:43.13 says the dragon was angry or wroth with the woman, 00:15:43.14\00:15:46.08 and went to make war with the 00:15:46.09\00:15:47.06 remnant of her seed, which do what? 00:15:47.07\00:15:49.57 Keep the Commandments of God, 00:15:49.58\00:15:51.50 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 00:15:51.51\00:15:52.89 We want to tackle these things one at a time. 00:15:52.90\00:15:54.96 They keep the Commandments of God. 00:15:54.97\00:15:58.00 Now what commandments do you suppose 00:15:58.01\00:15:59.25 this is talking about? The Ten Commandments. 00:15:59.26\00:16:01.96 How do we know? Read the text, Romans 7 00:16:01.97\00:16:05.63 and this is not in your study guide, 00:16:05.64\00:16:07.05 but we'll just this remember this, so you'll know. 00:16:07.06\00:16:08.91 How do we know, it's talking about the Ten Commandments. 00:16:08.92\00:16:11.17 Romans 7, I hope it is, verse 7, you got it. 00:16:11.18\00:16:15.25 Paul says writing to the Romans, 00:16:15.26\00:16:18.24 what shall we say then, is the law sin? 00:16:18.25\00:16:23.14 God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, 00:16:23.15\00:16:26.51 but by the law: for I had not known 00:16:27.53\00:16:31.05 lust or covetousness, I will not know 00:16:31.06\00:16:34.48 lust except the law had said, 00:16:34.49\00:16:36.77 Thou shall not covet. 00:16:36.78\00:16:37.92 So speaking of the law, what law do you suppose this is? 00:16:39.26\00:16:41.87 What law is this talking about. 00:16:41.88\00:16:42.87 This is the tenth of Ten Commandments, right. 00:16:42.88\00:16:44.77 There's nine others besides this. 00:16:44.78\00:16:46.72 I get it. I get tickled sometimes, 00:16:46.73\00:16:48.30 somebody will say, we just keep the 00:16:48.31\00:16:49.28 Commandments that are found in the New Testament. 00:16:49.29\00:16:50.95 Our Church is a remnant church, 00:16:50.96\00:16:51.93 we keep the Commandments of God. 00:16:51.94\00:16:53.19 We just keep the ones found in the New Testament. 00:16:53.20\00:16:56.86 Well, it must be interesting there is one commandment 00:16:56.87\00:16:58.87 that I've never been able to find 00:16:58.88\00:16:59.94 directly in the New Testament. 00:16:59.95\00:17:01.69 Its all about taking God's name in vain. 00:17:01.70\00:17:03.12 I've never had anybody show it that 00:17:05.18\00:17:06.69 where that is quoted in the New Testament. 00:17:06.70\00:17:08.52 The only closed thing that I found to it, 00:17:08.53\00:17:09.94 Jesus where prayed, our father, 00:17:09.95\00:17:11.02 which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. 00:17:11.03\00:17:13.42 And so somebody says well that's the example 00:17:13.43\00:17:15.53 of the commandment in the New Testament. 00:17:15.54\00:17:17.48 Following here, is a commandment, 00:17:17.49\00:17:20.54 is an example of Jesus keeping the Commandment. 00:17:20.55\00:17:22.96 Is that in the New Testament, 00:17:24.09\00:17:25.06 an example of Jesus keeping the commandment, 00:17:25.07\00:17:26.76 is that showing that the commandment 00:17:26.77\00:17:28.25 is in the New Testament? 00:17:28.26\00:17:30.09 Yes, you wanna see the Commandments 00:17:30.10\00:17:31.57 which shows when Jesus kept the Sabbath? 00:17:31.58\00:17:33.05 Right, you know that he kept the Sabbath as well, 00:17:34.38\00:17:35.90 because it says as was his custom, 00:17:35.91\00:17:36.94 he went into the synagogue 00:17:36.95\00:17:37.92 on the Sabbath day. When he stood up to read. 00:17:37.93\00:17:39.06 He was accustomed to obey and keep that commandment. 00:17:39.07\00:17:41.37 Jesus kept all Ten Commandments. 00:17:41.38\00:17:43.46 And so to say that like the fourth Commandments 00:17:43.47\00:17:45.57 not in the New Testament like somebody will 00:17:45.58\00:17:46.84 try to say or other things like that. 00:17:46.85\00:17:48.77 If you use the example of the one that you 00:17:48.78\00:17:51.27 find about him taking God's name in vain 00:17:51.28\00:17:53.56 and he find that in New Testament well Jesus 00:17:53.57\00:17:55.07 obey that commandment He also 00:17:55.08\00:17:56.72 obeyed the Sabbath commandment. 00:17:56.73\00:17:58.41 All ten of these Commandments. 00:17:58.42\00:17:59.55 So Revelation chapter 12 and verse 17 and it says, 00:17:59.56\00:18:01.70 He went to make war with the remnant of her seed, 00:18:01.71\00:18:04.01 which keep the Commandments of God. 00:18:04.02\00:18:05.67 It has to be talking about the Ten Commandments, 00:18:05.68\00:18:08.60 all Ten Commandments. 00:18:08.61\00:18:10.93 You know, I've never went into 00:18:10.94\00:18:11.91 a Church myself personally. Well he said, oh yeah. 00:18:11.92\00:18:15.54 We don't believe in keeping the 00:18:15.55\00:18:16.57 Commandments of God, have you? 00:18:16.58\00:18:17.55 So everybody is going to be claiming to keep the 00:18:18.81\00:18:20.70 Commandments of God, aren't they? 00:18:20.71\00:18:22.41 But now this is a client, this client here 00:18:22.42\00:18:24.46 in Revelation 12:17 specifically talking about 00:18:24.47\00:18:26.97 they're not only to be claiming to be doing this, 00:18:26.98\00:18:29.20 but they are gonna be keeping them. 00:18:29.21\00:18:31.35 And let me just be straight up with you. 00:18:31.36\00:18:32.63 We've been to enough of the studies, 00:18:32.64\00:18:33.69 I'm just gonna like shoot in the hip a little bit, 00:18:33.70\00:18:35.50 maybe get myself in trouble. 00:18:35.51\00:18:36.78 If you're in a Church that's not keeping the 00:18:36.79\00:18:38.07 seventh day Sabbath as the commandment says, 00:18:38.08\00:18:40.14 you cannot be in the Remnant Church. 00:18:40.15\00:18:42.95 Oh, that sounds so harsh doesn't it. 00:18:42.96\00:18:44.64 And when I give the study 00:18:44.65\00:18:45.75 or when I preach this in evangelism, 00:18:45.76\00:18:46.98 I say that very same thing. 00:18:46.99\00:18:49.02 I believe that Jesus is coming soon 00:18:49.03\00:18:51.20 and as I study the disciples and I study the Bible, 00:18:51.21\00:18:54.40 when it came to solid truths in the Bible 00:18:54.41\00:18:56.68 and people's souls hang in the balance. 00:18:56.69\00:18:58.99 Jesus or none of the disciples 00:18:59.00\00:19:00.29 ever mushed it down, and like took the potato 00:19:00.30\00:19:02.86 and turned it into mash potatoes. 00:19:02.87\00:19:04.00 You know, they never made it real soft, 00:19:04.01\00:19:04.99 so you can swallow it. 00:19:05.00\00:19:06.13 They just gave what the truth was, in love. 00:19:06.14\00:19:10.03 And so, if you're in a Church that's saying 00:19:10.04\00:19:11.43 that don't have to keep the fourth commandment. 00:19:11.44\00:19:13.33 You're not fitting the Church that's given here 00:19:13.34\00:19:15.25 in the description of Revelation chapter 12 00:19:15.26\00:19:17.57 of God's Remnant Church. 00:19:17.58\00:19:19.64 That's pretty harsh, isn't it? 00:19:20.94\00:19:21.91 But, do you love somebody so enough to tell them that. 00:19:22.94\00:19:24.92 So God's Remnant Church are going to be keeping all ten. 00:19:27.08\00:19:29.84 And if you're not, you're not 00:19:31.43\00:19:33.20 part of God's Remnant Church. 00:19:33.21\00:19:34.52 You know, it makes it nice because not even going 00:19:34.53\00:19:35.82 to the phone book and he's gotta go find a Church. 00:19:35.83\00:19:38.54 That's gonna be keeping all Ten Commandments. 00:19:38.55\00:19:39.99 And you just look at it and say, 00:19:41.08\00:19:42.10 Sunday service, Sunday service, 00:19:42.11\00:19:45.24 Saturday service, okay that maybe it. 00:19:45.25\00:19:47.77 You don't know for sure, you don't know for sure 00:19:47.78\00:19:49.75 that Church will be it, but you do know 00:19:49.76\00:19:51.03 that there was a down quite a bit, 00:19:51.04\00:19:52.02 like he put the whole list of Churches up 00:19:52.03\00:19:53.31 there and you just say okay, 00:19:53.32\00:19:54.70 are they keeping the Ten Commandments, 00:19:54.71\00:19:56.03 you can narrow it down pretty quick. 00:19:56.04\00:19:57.01 Are you following that? So if you're looking, 00:19:57.02\00:19:59.05 if you're at home or looking for a Church 00:19:59.06\00:20:00.51 to be a member of, to be a part of, 00:20:00.52\00:20:01.60 that's it's fitting the characteristics that God 00:20:01.61\00:20:04.26 has for his Remnant Church, 00:20:04.27\00:20:05.77 one of those characteristics is gonna be 00:20:05.78\00:20:07.33 that they're keeping all Ten Commandments, 00:20:07.34\00:20:08.86 which includes the fourth commandment. 00:20:08.87\00:20:10.43 So it's gonna be the pillar in the ground of truth, 00:20:12.11\00:20:14.32 it's gonna be an obscurity during time of the dark ages 00:20:14.33\00:20:17.22 right, until 1798 it will be relatively obscure 00:20:17.23\00:20:20.90 because it will be in the wilderness. 00:20:20.91\00:20:22.43 And now we're looking here that the devil is gonna be 00:20:22.44\00:20:23.94 mad at her and she is gonna be 00:20:23.95\00:20:25.36 keeping the Ten Commandments. 00:20:25.37\00:20:26.85 Teaching that you've to keep the Ten Commandments of God, 00:20:26.86\00:20:28.95 not in order to be saved, but because you're saved. 00:20:28.96\00:20:32.93 Again you're accused of saying I think 00:20:32.94\00:20:34.71 you don't get my obedience. 00:20:34.72\00:20:36.45 If the Bible says that God's people gonna obey the 00:20:36.46\00:20:38.78 Ten Commandments and you won't be part of 00:20:38.79\00:20:40.40 God's people then you all obey the Ten Commandments. 00:20:40.41\00:20:42.95 And if you reject it, can you be the remnant? 00:20:44.38\00:20:48.24 It has nothing to do with the name, does it. 00:20:48.25\00:20:49.57 We haven't mentioned any names as far as what we, 00:20:50.04\00:20:52.68 as far as finding the description here. 00:20:52.69\00:20:54.32 We're just finding the identifying characteristics. 00:20:54.33\00:20:56.73 Well, you know, there is another identifying 00:20:56.74\00:20:57.84 characteristic and we're gonna look at it now 00:20:57.85\00:21:00.64 in the same verse that the same chapter 00:21:00.65\00:21:02.49 Revelation chapter 12 and verse 17. 00:21:02.50\00:21:04.61 It says that they also have 00:21:04.62\00:21:06.05 the testimony of Jesus Christ, 00:21:06.06\00:21:07.58 the testimony of Jesus Christ. 00:21:08.70\00:21:10.13 It's like well, every Church has 00:21:10.14\00:21:11.20 a testimony of the Jesus Christ, 00:21:11.21\00:21:12.46 I mean, that means they're testifying 00:21:12.47\00:21:13.50 about Jesus, right. 00:21:13.51\00:21:14.98 We know that Bible gives a description 00:21:14.99\00:21:16.33 as to what the testimony of Jesus Christ is. 00:21:16.34\00:21:19.18 And so we can like put our opinions on. 00:21:19.19\00:21:22.13 Like I would say what's the testimony of Jesus 00:21:22.14\00:21:24.29 and we can all say, well I think it's this. 00:21:24.30\00:21:26.17 And I think it's that and I think it's because 00:21:26.18\00:21:27.68 the preacher preaches about Jesus, 00:21:27.69\00:21:28.97 I think it's because the preacher 00:21:28.98\00:21:29.95 preaches about love. I think it's because 00:21:29.96\00:21:31.49 we're feeding the poor, we can have all kinds of 00:21:31.50\00:21:33.17 ideas as to what we think the 00:21:33.18\00:21:34.75 testimony of Jesus is about. 00:21:34.76\00:21:36.58 But, you know, there is a Bible text 00:21:36.59\00:21:38.83 that tells you exactly what the testimony of Jesus is 00:21:38.84\00:21:43.13 and at this time we're gonna go to that text, 00:21:43.14\00:21:45.03 Revelation chapter 19 and verse 10. 00:21:45.04\00:21:48.10 And I think we'll have Gloria, 00:21:48.11\00:21:49.97 do you mind reading that for us Ms. Gloria. 00:21:49.98\00:21:52.19 Keep the microphone there, get it all arranged, 00:21:52.20\00:21:54.06 and while you're getting arranged 00:21:54.07\00:21:55.51 we'll all get our Bibles turned there. 00:21:55.52\00:21:56.78 Revelation chapter 19 and verse 10. 00:21:56.79\00:21:59.75 Now it's a very easy one to find, 00:21:59.76\00:22:02.62 it's the next to the, next to the, 00:22:02.63\00:22:04.64 next to the last chapter of the 00:22:04.65\00:22:06.79 last book of the Bible, all right. 00:22:06.80\00:22:08.59 Revelation chapter 19 and verse 10, 00:22:08.60\00:22:12.43 go ahead, Gloria. 00:22:12.44\00:22:13.41 And I fell at his feet to worship him. 00:22:14.60\00:22:17.87 But He said to me, see that you do not do that. 00:22:17.88\00:22:22.46 I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers 00:22:22.47\00:22:25.47 who have the testimony of Jesus. 00:22:25.48\00:22:27.87 Worship God for the testimony of Jesus 00:22:27.88\00:22:30.72 is the spirit of prophecy. Thank you, Gloria. 00:22:30.73\00:22:33.61 She read that with all kinds of path pathos. 00:22:33.62\00:22:35.91 Is that the word you use there, 00:22:35.92\00:22:37.07 there was something there when she read that. 00:22:37.08\00:22:39.64 The testimony of Jesus is what? 00:22:39.65\00:22:41.72 The Spirit of Prophecy. Now I'm gonna ask you, 00:22:41.73\00:22:45.55 we went through a study already. 00:22:45.56\00:22:47.22 And we saw that right now there is, 00:22:47.23\00:22:50.53 well I'm just gonna say it. 00:22:50.54\00:22:51.53 I guess can say this now, 00:22:51.54\00:22:52.51 the Seventh-day Adventist Church 00:22:52.52\00:22:54.04 has a prophet in it's midst, the Spirit of Prophecy. 00:22:54.05\00:22:55.89 Now I'm gonna say something that's gonna also sound 00:22:55.90\00:22:58.54 a little bit outrageous to 00:22:58.55\00:22:59.52 some folks and it's simple this. 00:22:59.53\00:23:01.98 According to the Bible, the Remnant Church 00:23:01.99\00:23:03.96 is gonna keeping the Ten Commandments of God 00:23:03.97\00:23:05.95 and they're gonna have a prophet 00:23:05.96\00:23:07.52 the midst, the Spirit of Prophecy. 00:23:07.53\00:23:09.98 They're gonna have the 00:23:11.32\00:23:12.32 Spirit of Prophecy in the midst. 00:23:12.33\00:23:14.17 It is gonna be a prophetic movement 00:23:14.18\00:23:15.30 with a prophet in it. 00:23:15.31\00:23:16.28 So if you're in a Church that does not have a prophet 00:23:16.29\00:23:21.15 can you be part of God's Remnant Church? 00:23:21.16\00:23:23.20 Sounds harsh doesn't it, 00:23:25.46\00:23:26.97 but are we getting this from the Bible. 00:23:26.98\00:23:28.67 Well some people say well, how can you be sure 00:23:28.68\00:23:30.81 that this is talking about having a prophet, 00:23:30.82\00:23:32.06 after all it just says, the Spirit of Prophecy. 00:23:32.07\00:23:34.02 Well, what is the Spirit of Prophecy, 00:23:34.03\00:23:35.63 did Daniel have the Spirit of Prophecy? 00:23:35.64\00:23:38.11 Because he was a prophet. 00:23:38.12\00:23:41.34 John had the spirit of Prophecy 00:23:41.35\00:23:43.00 because he was a prophet. 00:23:43.01\00:23:44.50 And if you notice right there in a text it says 00:23:44.51\00:23:46.30 when He says don't worship me 00:23:46.31\00:23:47.77 I'm one your fellow servants. 00:23:47.78\00:23:49.17 And then he says worship God, 00:23:49.18\00:23:50.96 for the testimony of Jesus is the Sprit of Prophecy. 00:23:50.97\00:23:53.57 He is talking to a prophet when he says this, 00:23:53.58\00:23:55.60 one of your fellow servants 00:23:55.61\00:23:57.35 is the Spirit of Prophecy, you're Prophet John. 00:23:57.36\00:24:01.03 The testimony of Jesus that you're giving 00:24:01.04\00:24:02.76 is the Spirit of Prophecy. 00:24:02.77\00:24:04.05 And so the Church would have to have that. 00:24:05.39\00:24:06.96 Now we've done a study, yeah, 00:24:06.97\00:24:08.85 we've done that actually a couple of days ago, 00:24:08.86\00:24:10.62 I guess for us it will be yesterday. 00:24:10.63\00:24:12.73 And we looked at, we looked at the 00:24:12.74\00:24:14.37 Spirit of Prophecy in God's Remnant Church 00:24:14.38\00:24:16.56 and you remember that, 00:24:16.57\00:24:17.59 how we went through the slides there. 00:24:17.60\00:24:18.99 I'll do a quick review there, just... 00:24:19.00\00:24:21.07 The people at home that haven't seen that study yet, 00:24:21.08\00:24:23.96 they can go back and watch it and find out how, 00:24:23.97\00:24:25.69 you know, find out where we got this from how, 00:24:25.70\00:24:27.91 while we're saying this. 00:24:27.92\00:24:29.00 Do you remember when we found that 00:24:29.01\00:24:30.22 that every time God raises up 00:24:30.23\00:24:31.53 and has a prophet give a timeframe prophecy. 00:24:31.54\00:24:34.55 He would always at the other end of that prophecy time 00:24:34.56\00:24:36.28 and raise up another prophet to 00:24:36.29\00:24:38.09 announce that it's coming to an end. 00:24:38.10\00:24:39.10 That's why he used Enoch to 00:24:39.11\00:24:40.35 prophesy the flood would come. 00:24:40.36\00:24:41.84 And then when it got ready to come He raised up Noah. 00:24:41.85\00:24:44.43 And then after that, He said, 00:24:44.44\00:24:46.00 had Abraham give up a predictive prophecy 00:24:46.01\00:24:48.33 saying that the children of Israel are 00:24:48.34\00:24:49.31 going into bondage for 400 years. 00:24:49.32\00:24:51.47 After that 400 years they would 00:24:51.48\00:24:52.75 come out with a great deliverance. 00:24:52.76\00:24:54.45 And when it got to the end of the 400 years, 00:24:54.46\00:24:55.68 God just left them to themselves. 00:24:55.69\00:24:57.54 No, He raise up another prophet 00:24:57.55\00:24:59.33 by the name of Moses and God used Moses to deliver them 00:24:59.34\00:25:02.31 And then we went to the Book of Jeremiah. 00:25:02.32\00:25:03.95 I remember Jeremiah 00:25:03.96\00:25:05.19 predicted that, you know what? 00:25:05.20\00:25:07.22 You guys have been disobeying God 00:25:07.23\00:25:08.56 and you been not doing what God wants. 00:25:08.57\00:25:10.14 And so that why everybody always 00:25:10.15\00:25:11.44 hates the prophet right, the contemporary prophet. 00:25:11.45\00:25:13.22 So they all hated Jeremiah and said he is a liar. 00:25:13.23\00:25:15.72 But then they ended up still going in the bondage. 00:25:15.73\00:25:17.90 And Daniel at end of 70 years, 00:25:17.91\00:25:19.79 God raised Daniel up and said, you know, what? 00:25:19.80\00:25:21.80 The 70 years is coming to an end 00:25:21.81\00:25:23.08 God's getting ready to deliver us, 00:25:23.09\00:25:24.28 Daniel 9:2 where you find that out. 00:25:24.29\00:25:26.40 Then Daniel gets a timeline prophecy. 00:25:26.41\00:25:29.08 Daniel's timeline prophecy says that, 00:25:29.09\00:25:32.59 it's gonna go from 70 weeks. 00:25:32.60\00:25:34.51 Remember the 70 weeks were determined 00:25:34.52\00:25:35.84 upon your people and upon the 00:25:35.85\00:25:36.87 holy city for the Messiah to come. 00:25:36.88\00:25:38.92 And then at the end of that timeframe, 00:25:38.93\00:25:40.20 the 70, at the end of 69 week part of that, 00:25:40.21\00:25:42.76 first part of the time prophecy God raised up 00:25:42.77\00:25:45.56 John the Baptist so now the time 00:25:45.57\00:25:47.02 prophecy is coming to an end. 00:25:47.03\00:25:48.58 Then Daniel gives another timeline prophecy, 00:25:48.59\00:25:50.18 do you remember what it was. 00:25:50.19\00:25:51.80 The 2300 days, and that ran out in what year. 00:25:51.81\00:25:55.08 1844 which would have been after 1798, right. 00:25:55.09\00:26:00.01 And during that time God raised up another prophet, 00:26:00.02\00:26:03.71 and the devil raised up all kinds of 00:26:03.72\00:26:04.78 prophets during that timeframe. 00:26:04.79\00:26:05.92 But God raised up another 00:26:05.93\00:26:06.92 prophet and who was it? Ellen White. 00:26:06.93\00:26:08.62 Ellen White and she came with 00:26:08.63\00:26:10.04 a message pointing us back, pointing us back to say, 00:26:10.05\00:26:12.71 you know, what the 2300 days has come to an end. 00:26:12.72\00:26:15.11 The sanctuary has been cleansed 00:26:15.12\00:26:16.12 in heaven, after that takes place. 00:26:16.13\00:26:17.74 After the sanctuary is cleaned according to the 00:26:17.75\00:26:19.86 biblical pattern shown to us in the sanctuary service 00:26:19.87\00:26:23.34 after the Day of Atonement or the Day of Judgment 00:26:23.35\00:26:25.71 or the sanctuary is cleansed what would happen? 00:26:25.72\00:26:27.85 Jesus would come. And so we know 00:26:27.86\00:26:29.80 at that time we would been through the last days. 00:26:29.81\00:26:31.74 And, you know, its fascinating 00:26:31.75\00:26:32.72 because the Church that I've happen to be 00:26:32.73\00:26:35.09 fellow shipping with not the Church that I was raised in. 00:26:35.10\00:26:38.58 I was raised a heathen, but the Church 00:26:38.59\00:26:39.73 that I found when I started studying the Bible 00:26:39.74\00:26:41.36 and found out that the Bible has distinctive 00:26:41.37\00:26:44.21 characteristics for God's Remnant Church. 00:26:44.22\00:26:47.04 In the Bible, when you go look at these things 00:26:47.05\00:26:49.04 that there is one that fits all those is the 00:26:49.05\00:26:50.48 Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:26:50.49\00:26:52.48 And so my understanding or maybe like 00:26:52.49\00:26:55.75 what my relationship with the Lord 00:26:55.76\00:26:57.57 led me to that not because of how I've been raised 00:26:57.58\00:27:00.28 but because what I studied and found. 00:27:00.29\00:27:02.74 And I'm gonna encourage all of us 00:27:02.75\00:27:04.44 even if you're a Seventh-day Adventist Christians 00:27:04.45\00:27:05.91 sitting here right now. 00:27:05.92\00:27:07.00 I hope you're not here just because 00:27:07.01\00:27:08.13 you're raised that way, because if you are, 00:27:08.14\00:27:11.20 eventually what's gonna happen is there 00:27:11.21\00:27:12.97 gonna be things happening in this world and in your life, 00:27:12.98\00:27:14.88 that the devil is gonna bring about your way. 00:27:14.89\00:27:16.19 And if you're not grounded 00:27:16.20\00:27:17.19 in truth of God's word, you too will turn away. 00:27:17.20\00:27:20.71 And so if you're in your Church 00:27:20.72\00:27:21.96 just because you was raised that way, 00:27:21.97\00:27:23.61 you better make sure you've grounded 00:27:23.62\00:27:25.23 and the foundation found in the Bible. 00:27:25.24\00:27:27.55 And so according what we found now 00:27:27.56\00:27:29.02 is that they will be keeping the 00:27:29.03\00:27:30.02 Ten Commandments of God and they're gonna have 00:27:30.03\00:27:31.70 a testimony of Jesus, which is the Spirit of Prophecy, 00:27:31.71\00:27:33.85 they'll have this prophecy in their midst. 00:27:33.86\00:27:35.05 So let's do a quick review again. 00:27:35.06\00:27:37.79 All right. They're gonna be the 00:27:37.80\00:27:38.77 pillar in the ground of truth. 00:27:38.78\00:27:40.22 They're gonna be presenting the truths of God's word. 00:27:40.23\00:27:42.09 And you notice here to what we've been learning 00:27:42.10\00:27:44.88 through this Bible study series, 00:27:44.89\00:27:47.00 there is a lot of truths that are in God's word, 00:27:47.01\00:27:50.22 that very few people are teaching. 00:27:50.23\00:27:52.58 Like when you die you're waiting on the resurrection. 00:27:52.59\00:27:54.94 That's what the resurrection is about 00:27:54.95\00:27:56.16 to bring the dead out of the grave, right. 00:27:56.17\00:27:58.28 What's the purpose of the resurrection 00:27:58.29\00:27:59.44 if Christ talks about if you die 00:27:59.45\00:28:00.48 and you go straight to reward. 00:28:00.49\00:28:01.58 There is no purpose there, 00:28:01.59\00:28:02.83 if you're already there, I'm not coming back. 00:28:02.84\00:28:04.17 I had enough of this place, right. 00:28:04.18\00:28:05.83 And so there is a resurrection so Christ 00:28:05.84\00:28:08.25 is gonna come and raise the dead, 00:28:08.26\00:28:09.50 people that are sleeping in Jesus. 00:28:09.51\00:28:11.41 That's the truth we find in God's word 00:28:11.42\00:28:12.76 that's being obscured for the most part. 00:28:12.77\00:28:14.58 So if you're Church is gonna be 00:28:14.59\00:28:15.93 the pillar in the ground of truth, 00:28:15.94\00:28:18.48 it would have to be that truth as well. 00:28:18.49\00:28:20.16 And so all these truths you been learning 00:28:20.17\00:28:22.17 through these Bible studies series, 00:28:22.18\00:28:23.67 those truths have to be applied to the Church 00:28:23.68\00:28:26.27 that you wanna be a member of. 00:28:26.28\00:28:27.34 But they're not teaching those truth 00:28:27.35\00:28:28.88 then you need to go look for somebody that does. 00:28:28.89\00:28:31.08 It has to be the pillar in a ground of truth. 00:28:31.09\00:28:32.98 The second identifying characteristics, 00:28:32.99\00:28:34.52 the characteristics we looked at 00:28:34.53\00:28:35.99 is there will be this pure woman. 00:28:36.00\00:28:38.39 And this pure woman would be in obscurity for how long? 00:28:38.40\00:28:41.53 The 1260 days.

Testify me. 00:30:32.91\00:30:36.36 So also you have the part of that testimony of Jesus, 00:30:36.37\00:30:39.04 the part of testifying is the fact that 00:30:39.05\00:30:40.83 the spirit of prophecy would be testifying of Jesus. 00:30:40.84\00:30:43.77 So the spirit of prophecy is where 00:30:44.96\00:30:46.54 they've given the testimony of Jesus. 00:30:46.55\00:30:47.74 The scriptures testify of him. 00:30:47.75\00:30:49.53 So both the old and the New Testament 00:30:49.54\00:30:52.30 would testify of him, scriptures. 00:30:52.31\00:30:53.93 When John wrote this, when Jesus spoke this 00:30:53.94\00:30:56.26 and John wrote it. Search the scripture for him 00:30:56.27\00:30:58.86 you think you have eternal life 00:30:58.87\00:30:59.84 and there they testify me. 00:30:59.85\00:31:01.42 What would he had been being referring to? 00:31:01.43\00:31:02.60 The New Testament or the Old Testament? 00:31:04.30\00:31:06.90 Specifically, here the Old Testament, right? 00:31:06.91\00:31:08.89 Because the New Testament hadn't been written yet. 00:31:08.90\00:31:10.61 So if your Church, now I'm just throwing in 00:31:10.62\00:31:12.83 an identifying characteristic, 00:31:12.84\00:31:13.85 it wasn't one of the labeled ones, 00:31:13.86\00:31:14.86 I don't think, but yeah it is. 00:31:14.87\00:31:17.14 It's number 5, so number one was, 00:31:17.15\00:31:20.62 it's foundation of truth, number two 00:31:20.63\00:31:22.57 is it came up publicly after 1798. 00:31:22.58\00:31:25.15 Number 3, it keeps the Commandments. 00:31:25.16\00:31:26.43 Number 4, it has a prophet 00:31:26.44\00:31:27.76 and number 5, we're looking at John 5:39, 00:31:27.77\00:31:30.12 it would actually believe in both the 00:31:31.23\00:31:32.49 old and the New Testament. 00:31:32.50\00:31:34.69 You know, you can go to some Churches 00:31:34.70\00:31:36.75 or you go into a Church and you sit down 00:31:36.76\00:31:38.26 and they supply everybody with New Testaments 00:31:38.27\00:31:40.69 and they don't do the Old Testament. 00:31:40.70\00:31:41.70 When I was doing Bible working 00:31:41.71\00:31:42.86 one time in Michigan, this fellow that I got 00:31:42.87\00:31:45.33 talking with and was sharing with. 00:31:45.34\00:31:47.60 When I've done the studies with him, 00:31:47.61\00:31:48.58 he had never opened his Bible to the Old Testament. 00:31:48.59\00:31:50.72 And he said in his Church, they said the 00:31:50.73\00:31:51.84 New Testament Christian, new covenant Christians, 00:31:51.85\00:31:53.58 so they only used the New Testament. 00:31:53.59\00:31:54.74 They only teach from Matthew forward. 00:31:54.75\00:31:56.85 But now according to Jesus himself, 00:31:56.86\00:31:58.60 when He was going with the 00:31:58.61\00:31:59.67 two guys on the road to Emmaus. 00:31:59.68\00:32:00.91 He was going with the two disciples 00:32:00.92\00:32:01.92 on the road to Emmaus, you remember that story? 00:32:01.93\00:32:03.74 In Luke. That as He went 00:32:03.75\00:32:05.91 with them on the road to Emmaus. 00:32:05.92\00:32:07.67 He shared with them all the things 00:32:07.68\00:32:09.31 in the scriptures concerning himself. 00:32:09.32\00:32:11.15 Well, starting at Moses all the way to Malachi, right? 00:32:12.44\00:32:16.45 All the things in the Scriptures 00:32:16.46\00:32:17.43 concerning himself. If you throw out 00:32:17.44\00:32:18.97 the Old Testament, if your Church 00:32:18.98\00:32:20.22 throws out the Old Testament. 00:32:20.23\00:32:21.58 Can you be part of God's remnant? 00:32:21.59\00:32:23.23 No, they had to believe in the old whole Bible, 00:32:23.24\00:32:25.12 that both Old and New Testament. 00:32:25.13\00:32:26.68 And maybe to some people shock 00:32:26.69\00:32:27.83 and surprise the Old Testament 00:32:27.84\00:32:29.54 does not contradict the New Testament 00:32:29.55\00:32:31.32 or the New Testament the Old, it fits together. 00:32:31.33\00:32:34.26 Somehow somebody saying, somebody thinks, 00:32:34.27\00:32:35.80 I've heard that, heard it say that 00:32:35.81\00:32:36.92 they contradict one and other so. 00:32:36.93\00:32:38.14 So we got to get rid of one or the other 00:32:38.15\00:32:40.41 and so, that's not the case at all. 00:32:40.42\00:32:42.68 All right, so they're gonna keep all Ten Commandments. 00:32:42.69\00:32:45.09 They're going to have a prophet in the midst, 00:32:45.10\00:32:46.57 they're gonna believe both the Old Testament 00:32:46.58\00:32:48.20 and the New Testament, 00:32:48.21\00:32:49.54 they're gonna teach from both. 00:32:49.55\00:32:50.60 Though, if the Church that you're a part of, 00:32:51.77\00:32:53.64 has not covered these characteristics, 00:32:53.65\00:32:56.76 frankly, you may need to looking for another Church. 00:32:56.77\00:33:00.22 And just for us here, I guess for those of you 00:33:00.23\00:33:02.41 at home they may be given this Bible study later. 00:33:02.42\00:33:04.84 We need to realize that, you know, 00:33:04.85\00:33:09.85 the kind of people who were going crazy when I do that. 00:33:09.86\00:33:11.14 I look at the wrong camera every time 00:33:11.15\00:33:12.51 I am talking to the people at home. 00:33:12.52\00:33:13.49 I will try harder next time guys. 00:33:13.50\00:33:15.38 So for the people at home, if you're part of a Church 00:33:15.39\00:33:19.58 that doesn't fit these characteristics. 00:33:19.59\00:33:22.60 You may be looking for another Church. 00:33:22.61\00:33:24.91 You may be needing to do that. 00:33:24.92\00:33:26.34 And I know that sounds kind of harsh, 00:33:26.35\00:33:28.05 but it is biblical. Did you know that 00:33:28.06\00:33:32.12 Jesus himself changed his Church? 00:33:32.13\00:33:33.93 Did you know He did that? 00:33:35.38\00:33:36.52 Don't you remember at the end of His ministry, 00:33:36.53\00:33:38.07 He goes into His Church and He says your house 00:33:38.08\00:33:39.74 is left unto you desolate and he left. 00:33:39.75\00:33:42.08 He says, you guys, 00:33:43.56\00:33:44.73 this is your Church now, it's not mine. 00:33:44.74\00:33:46.31 Prior to that, you can come in there, 00:33:46.32\00:33:47.87 He cleansed the temple and he turned off the table 00:33:47.88\00:33:50.07 and stuff and he says, my father has said, 00:33:50.08\00:33:53.36 you know, the Bible says, that this, 00:33:53.37\00:33:55.52 my house has become a den of thieves, right? 00:33:55.53\00:33:58.25 He says that my house was gonna be a house of prayer, 00:33:58.26\00:33:59.68 but you've made it a den of thieves. 00:33:59.69\00:34:00.69 That's how it's quoted, right? 00:34:00.70\00:34:02.34 My house is to be a house of prayer, 00:34:02.35\00:34:04.25 but you made it a den of thieves. 00:34:04.26\00:34:05.76 But at the end of His ministry, 00:34:05.77\00:34:07.31 He left his Church and He says, 00:34:07.32\00:34:09.36 your house is left to you desolate. 00:34:09.37\00:34:11.57 He didn't call it His house anymore. 00:34:11.58\00:34:13.51 He left his Church and then 00:34:13.52\00:34:14.51 a new Church was established. 00:34:14.52\00:34:15.60 The New Testament Church what we call today 00:34:15.61\00:34:17.43 with the apostles and things like that, 00:34:17.44\00:34:18.61 the disciples, does that make sense? 00:34:18.62\00:34:20.90 So even he himself when he realized that 00:34:20.91\00:34:22.79 his Church had been so far the wrong way. 00:34:22.80\00:34:24.98 He said you know what? I'm sorry I got to leave 00:34:24.99\00:34:28.16 and he did just that, he left it to them. 00:34:28.17\00:34:30.15 Hard to do isn't it? Yeah, 00:34:31.36\00:34:33.98 but is what the Bible teaches 00:34:33.99\00:34:35.95 then it's important that we follow what the 00:34:35.96\00:34:37.25 Bible teaches and not what man teaches. 00:34:37.26\00:34:39.24 Remember Peter, we ought to obey God rather than men. 00:34:39.25\00:34:43.60 In Revelation 12, I mean Revelation 14 now, 00:34:43.61\00:34:46.15 and these characteristics here. 00:34:46.16\00:34:47.56 This is powerful, you've heard of the 00:34:47.57\00:34:48.69 three angels message, right? 00:34:48.70\00:34:51.12 Well, we will look at three angels message here 00:34:51.13\00:34:52.33 in Revelation chapter 14 now 00:34:52.34\00:34:54.20 and we're gonna have different people read. 00:34:54.21\00:34:56.30 Somebody else read here, 00:34:56.31\00:34:57.31 Revelation Chapter 14 verse 6, and 7 00:34:57.32\00:34:59.46 and I'll probably stop and interrupt whoever it is, 00:34:59.47\00:35:01.20 I gonna let Tim do this. 00:35:01.21\00:35:02.83 Revelation chapter 14, verses 6 and 7. 00:35:02.95\00:35:05.38 Tim, I want you to read this for me. 00:35:05.39\00:35:06.75 And again, I'll probably stop you 00:35:06.76\00:35:08.25 and interrupt you and I know I can do that with you, 00:35:08.26\00:35:10.22 because you have that nice smile. 00:35:10.23\00:35:11.37 And you'll just let it go and won't be angry with me. 00:35:11.38\00:35:13.03 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, 00:35:14.86\00:35:18.49 having the everlasting gospel 00:35:18.50\00:35:20.03 to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, 00:35:20.04\00:35:22.07 and to every nation, and kindred, 00:35:22.08\00:35:24.09 and tongue, and people. 00:35:24.10\00:35:25.22 Okay, hold on. Okay. 00:35:25.23\00:35:26.76 According to the Bible here there is gonna be 00:35:26.77\00:35:28.46 a message it's gonna go out. 00:35:28.47\00:35:29.47 This angel symbolically this angel's gonna come down. 00:35:29.48\00:35:32.02 And we know that the angels don't actually come 00:35:32.03\00:35:33.68 and preach that God uses His people to preach. 00:35:33.69\00:35:35.41 So this is symbolic here of God's people, 00:35:35.42\00:35:37.48 they're going out and preaching. 00:35:37.49\00:35:38.87 And Tim, they're gonna be preaching 00:35:38.88\00:35:40.23 what kind of message, what's gonna be the 00:35:40.24\00:35:41.57 message that's gonna be the... 00:35:41.58\00:35:42.55 The everlasting gospel. The everlasting gospel 00:35:42.56\00:35:44.20 and where are they gonna take it to? 00:35:44.21\00:35:46.16 They're gonna take it to the earth. 00:35:46.17\00:35:47.33 Every nation, kindred, kindred, and tongue. 00:35:47.34\00:35:49.56 All right, you know what that's telling us.. 00:35:49.57\00:35:52.13 That God's people in the last days, 00:35:52.14\00:35:54.20 in order for it to be God's remnant Church, 00:35:54.21\00:35:56.21 they're gonna have to be going to all of the world. 00:35:56.22\00:35:59.63 They say, well, my Church is going 00:35:59.64\00:36:00.68 all over the world, we send missionaries out. 00:36:00.69\00:36:02.11 No, going to all of the world simply means 00:36:03.19\00:36:05.57 that every part of the Globe 00:36:05.58\00:36:06.59 is gonna be hearing this message. 00:36:06.60\00:36:08.36 Now, let me give you some facts 00:36:08.37\00:36:09.58 about the Seventh-day Church. 00:36:09.59\00:36:11.77 There are basically two Churches right now 00:36:11.78\00:36:13.95 that are in all of the world 00:36:13.96\00:36:15.25 like every country in the world, 00:36:15.26\00:36:16.95 that are in every part of the globe, 00:36:16.96\00:36:19.57 every part of the world. 00:36:19.58\00:36:20.60 You know, what those two Churches are? 00:36:20.61\00:36:22.52 The Catholic and the Seventh -day Adventist Church. 00:36:22.53\00:36:25.46 You know, most of the Churches, 00:36:25.47\00:36:27.59 you know, like North America, 00:36:27.60\00:36:29.12 when you're talking about North American Churches 00:36:29.13\00:36:30.59 and things like that, that's where they are. 00:36:30.60\00:36:33.65 Primarily North America there will be 00:36:33.66\00:36:34.85 a few countries here, and a few countries there, 00:36:34.86\00:36:36.75 but you won't find them all over the earth. 00:36:36.76\00:36:39.09 And according to this message 00:36:39.10\00:36:40.24 here that we are look at. 00:36:40.25\00:36:41.22 That this message is gonna go 00:36:41.23\00:36:42.20 when it's preached in all the world. 00:36:42.21\00:36:43.95 In other words they're gonna have 00:36:43.96\00:36:44.95 a presence in every part of the world. 00:36:44.96\00:36:47.35 I remember, I haven't done very much traveling 00:36:47.36\00:36:49.83 as far as outside of Kentucky, 00:36:49.84\00:36:51.40 prior to moving to Florida. 00:36:51.41\00:36:52.70 But I do remember one time when I, 00:36:52.71\00:36:54.31 one of the company I was working for, 00:36:54.32\00:36:55.50 send me to Egypt, Cairo Egypt 00:36:55.51\00:36:57.93 and I was gonna be there for over a week. 00:36:57.94\00:37:01.07 And you know, the dilemma I had, 00:37:01.08\00:37:02.30 I wanna find a Adventist Church. 00:37:02.31\00:37:04.21 Well, sure enough, you know, I get there. 00:37:04.22\00:37:06.18 And they have McDonald's, 00:37:06.19\00:37:08.21 they had KFC Kentucky fried chicken, 00:37:08.22\00:37:11.14 I didn't eat at either place. 00:37:11.15\00:37:12.15 I'll have you know, so don't send me any letters, 00:37:12.16\00:37:13.65 I didn't eat at either place. 00:37:13.66\00:37:15.19 But they also had a Seventh-day Church 00:37:15.20\00:37:17.02 just a couple of miles away. 00:37:17.03\00:37:18.57 Oh that's interesting, right there in Cairo, 00:37:18.58\00:37:20.02 you know it's a Seventh-day Adventist Church in Cairo. 00:37:20.03\00:37:22.10 But I can understand, you can go to 00:37:22.11\00:37:23.17 anywhere in the world and you know, 00:37:23.18\00:37:24.16 what's interesting about that. 00:37:24.17\00:37:25.76 When I went to the, when I went to the 00:37:25.77\00:37:26.76 Church there in Cairo, Egypt. 00:37:26.77\00:37:28.31 They had, they had both the 00:37:28.32\00:37:29.31 English Sabbath school class 00:37:29.32\00:37:31.22 and another one they spoke in Arabic, 00:37:31.23\00:37:36.20 whatever the language is there, right? 00:37:36.21\00:37:37.63 I didn't understand anything they were saying. 00:37:37.64\00:37:39.39 But in the English Sabbath 00:37:39.40\00:37:40.37 school class, I understood perfectly. 00:37:40.38\00:37:41.98 In the Sabbath school quarterly, 00:37:41.99\00:37:43.37 the lesson that they're using to teach 00:37:43.38\00:37:44.78 to everybody, you know, the same one 00:37:44.79\00:37:45.81 I've been studying all week. 00:37:45.82\00:37:47.45 In other words, listen, the Church is teaching 00:37:47.46\00:37:49.24 the same message all over the world. 00:37:49.25\00:37:51.94 You go any of the Sabbath school 00:37:51.95\00:37:52.98 anywhere in the world and basically 00:37:52.99\00:37:54.38 you're gonna teach the same thing. 00:37:54.39\00:37:56.49 I will tell you this is the little note here 00:37:56.50\00:37:58.10 I thought was interesting. 00:37:58.11\00:37:59.20 The guest speaker that they had at 00:37:59.21\00:38:00.18 the Church that day was from China. 00:38:00.19\00:38:02.60 So, and he spoke broken English. 00:38:02.61\00:38:05.09 He preached the sermon in broken English 00:38:05.10\00:38:07.43 and they translated into Arabic. 00:38:07.44\00:38:09.80 I was so confused, I mean, 00:38:11.06\00:38:13.55 as I was listening to him preach, 00:38:13.56\00:38:14.67 I was picking up the words here, 00:38:14.68\00:38:15.91 his English is pretty poor, you know. 00:38:15.92\00:38:16.89 So I am picking up what he is saying listening closely 00:38:16.90\00:38:18.77 then they would translate into Arabic there. 00:38:18.78\00:38:20.34 You know, they will translate and.. 00:38:20.35\00:38:23.16 it was a little confusing but we made it through. 00:38:23.17\00:38:25.04 But I think it's interesting that anywhere you go, 00:38:26.82\00:38:28.68 you do find those things. You know, you find 00:38:28.69\00:38:30.98 a Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:38:30.99\00:38:31.96 In other words, if your Church 00:38:31.97\00:38:33.32 isn't going to all the world it can be God's remnant. 00:38:33.33\00:38:37.59 That's another identifying characteristic, 00:38:37.60\00:38:39.19 pretty potent isn't it. 00:38:39.20\00:38:40.72 I mean, then there was a down quite a bit. 00:38:40.73\00:38:42.15 I wish I had that graph, I've seen it before, 00:38:42.16\00:38:44.25 it's a little chart that's put out by... 00:38:44.26\00:38:47.40 I can't think of the group that puts it out. 00:38:48.52\00:38:50.00 But they took all the denominations 00:38:50.01\00:38:52.30 that claim to be denomination, 00:38:52.31\00:38:53.54 but certainly not a membership 00:38:53.55\00:38:54.64 and things like that. And they list them 00:38:54.65\00:38:55.94 down a list, this side here. 00:38:55.95\00:38:56.95 And then across the top, they list all the nations. 00:38:58.46\00:39:01.62 Across the top like this, 00:39:01.63\00:39:02.88 and all of the countries right, 00:39:02.89\00:39:05.46 and then, you can go find new denomination 00:39:05.47\00:39:07.39 and it will have a little black dot everywhere 00:39:07.40\00:39:09.63 in every country that they have a presence in. 00:39:09.64\00:39:12.17 And when you get down to 00:39:12.18\00:39:13.19 Seventh-day Adventist, you're just like 00:39:13.20\00:39:14.29 straight across Catholic, straight across, right? 00:39:14.30\00:39:16.48 And then they got like say, say the Baptist, 00:39:16.49\00:39:18.45 they maybe like, I don't know 00:39:18.46\00:39:19.77 how many countries, just for a number's sake 50. 00:39:19.78\00:39:21.95 That's something like 270 or more then that. 00:39:21.96\00:39:24.04 Now, I don't know how many countries are 00:39:24.05\00:39:25.88 exactly in the world, but there was only 00:39:25.89\00:39:28.50 two they had dots in almost like 00:39:28.51\00:39:29.60 in every nation, every country. 00:39:29.61\00:39:32.18 And the other ones had a large presences 00:39:32.19\00:39:34.89 but there is only two going all around 00:39:34.90\00:39:36.36 isn't that interesting that they are two going 00:39:36.37\00:39:37.75 all around are the two opposing forces there. 00:39:37.76\00:39:40.77 Very interesting. And so God is 00:39:41.95\00:39:43.76 finishing the word, God is sending it out. 00:39:43.77\00:39:45.95 And if you're in a Church 00:39:45.96\00:39:47.03 that's not going to all the world. 00:39:47.04\00:39:49.24 What we just read it is gonna go to every nation, 00:39:49.25\00:39:51.80 kindred, tongue and people. 00:39:51.81\00:39:53.05 That's what Tim read there. 00:39:53.06\00:39:54.63 So that's the next identifying characteristic 00:39:54.64\00:39:56.41 I think we on our list if you are following on, 00:39:56.42\00:39:58.15 it's a worldwide organization. 00:39:58.16\00:40:00.57 Now, let's look at another identifying characteristic 00:40:00.58\00:40:03.32 of God's remnant Church 00:40:03.33\00:40:04.30 as we continue even in the same text. 00:40:04.31\00:40:06.44 Go ahead and keep reading. 00:40:06.45\00:40:08.63 Oh, actually back up where it says, 00:40:08.64\00:40:10.24 they will be preaching the everlasting gospel 00:40:10.25\00:40:11.75 and read from there down. Okay. 00:40:11.76\00:40:14.42 Having the everlasting gospel 00:40:14.43\00:40:15.95 to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, 00:40:15.96\00:40:18.03 and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue 00:40:18.04\00:40:20.57 and people saying with a loud voice, 00:40:20.58\00:40:23.00 'Fear God, and give glory to him, 00:40:23.01\00:40:25.36 for the hour of his judgment is come. 00:40:25.37\00:40:26.69 The hour of his judgment is come. 00:40:26.70\00:40:28.83 Okay, so this people they gonna be preaching 00:40:28.84\00:40:31.15 everlasting gospel and then the next verse says, 00:40:31.16\00:40:33.49 we covered this already, but I like to 00:40:33.50\00:40:34.69 reiterated just a little bit. 00:40:34.70\00:40:35.80 The next verse says what is the everlasting gospel? 00:40:35.81\00:40:38.39 Well, it says right there in the next verse, 00:40:38.40\00:40:39.90 they will be going to all the world saying 00:40:39.91\00:40:41.85 with a loud voice, fear God and give glory to him 00:40:41.86\00:40:43.86 for the hour of his judgment is come. 00:40:43.87\00:40:46.49 So you see that, they're gonna be 00:40:46.50\00:40:47.71 preaching a present tense, 00:40:47.72\00:40:49.12 Judgment hour message. All right. 00:40:49.13\00:40:53.14 It so if you're in a Church it says, 00:40:53.15\00:40:54.39 you know what, that the judgment that doesn't, 00:40:54.40\00:40:56.70 all that took place, was way back 00:40:56.71\00:40:58.53 in Christ at the cross like some people say. 00:40:58.54\00:41:01.16 Right, that was the judgment or they'll say, 00:41:01.17\00:41:03.34 with the judgment, you have a future, 00:41:03.35\00:41:04.42 you die, you go straight to heaven, 00:41:04.43\00:41:05.63 you stand up before the God like the cartoons portray. 00:41:05.64\00:41:07.77 You know, that's what I used to believe, 00:41:07.78\00:41:08.75 because that was the cartoon, 00:41:08.76\00:41:09.73 Tom and Jerry, remember that's where 00:41:09.74\00:41:10.72 I got theology before I started training. 00:41:10.73\00:41:12.34 Studying the Bible, I got it from my childhood. 00:41:12.35\00:41:14.52 And so, you know, one at a time, 00:41:14.53\00:41:15.69 you know they're dying, they're coming to heaven, 00:41:15.70\00:41:16.79 you got Saint Peter standing up there. 00:41:16.80\00:41:17.88 And he got the little book open, 00:41:17.89\00:41:18.94 and you stand before the judgment there 00:41:18.95\00:41:20.34 and you get rewarded they go into the gate. 00:41:20.35\00:41:22.16 Or you got to go the other place back down 00:41:22.17\00:41:23.73 through the earth and get in the center. 00:41:23.74\00:41:25.02 You know the whole idea is right like that? 00:41:25.03\00:41:26.77 No, the judgment is a present tense 00:41:26.78\00:41:28.86 judgment hour message. 00:41:28.87\00:41:30.82 It's tied with the sanctuary, 00:41:30.83\00:41:32.18 you know like we looked at already with the sanctuary. 00:41:32.19\00:41:33.70 In other words, in the Old Testament 00:41:33.71\00:41:35.66 you had the sanctuary service 00:41:35.67\00:41:37.28 with the Day of Atonement and the judgment took place. 00:41:37.29\00:41:39.25 Now you have remnant taking place in heaven with 00:41:39.26\00:41:41.43 Jesus Christ in the most holy place now, 00:41:41.44\00:41:43.32 with the judgment taking place. 00:41:43.33\00:41:44.92 Our judgment is going on right now, 00:41:44.93\00:41:47.68 that's what we have to be surrender our hearts 00:41:47.69\00:41:49.16 to hearts to Lord Jesus Christ 00:41:49.17\00:41:50.16 and living for him everyday. 00:41:50.17\00:41:51.48 Because we don't know 00:41:51.49\00:41:52.83 at what hour that judgment will close. 00:41:52.84\00:41:54.89 So this Church is gonna be going to all the world 00:41:54.90\00:41:56.71 with a judgment hour present tense message. 00:41:56.72\00:41:59.78 If is not, it is teaching that if your in 00:41:59.79\00:42:02.51 a Church that is teaching oh nothing about the judgment. 00:42:02.52\00:42:04.68 You know, just like wait like you're 00:42:04.69\00:42:06.53 getting ready to die and say, 00:42:06.54\00:42:07.53 I believe in Jesus and everything will be fine. 00:42:07.54\00:42:09.00 That's not a judgment hour message. 00:42:09.01\00:42:10.63 Now, I am not saying that I don't believe 00:42:12.31\00:42:13.57 in death bed confessions and being saved, 00:42:13.58\00:42:15.16 we got a thief on the cross as an example of that right. 00:42:15.17\00:42:17.56 I mean, he gave his heart to the Lord on the cross there. 00:42:17.57\00:42:19.75 Those things do happen, but I sure 00:42:19.76\00:42:21.27 won't wanna be taking that chance. 00:42:21.28\00:42:22.55 What if you die in a car wreck? 00:42:24.38\00:42:26.03 You don't have that chance to say, 00:42:26.04\00:42:27.03 oh Lord, forgive me, you know, 00:42:27.04\00:42:28.70 and give your heart to him. 00:42:28.71\00:42:29.75 God wants us to give our heart to him now, 00:42:29.76\00:42:31.37 because the judgment also is taking place now 00:42:31.38\00:42:34.42 and one day it will end. 00:42:34.43\00:42:35.92 So the remnant Church to review, 00:42:35.93\00:42:38.52 they're gonna be the foundation of truth. 00:42:40.11\00:42:41.67 We have a thus saith the Lord, 00:42:44.76\00:42:47.37 for everything we believe. 00:42:47.38\00:42:50.68 You understand that, not everybody can say that 00:42:50.69\00:42:53.92 I mean for instance you don't have 00:42:53.93\00:42:56.00 a thus saith the Lord for Sunday-keeping, 00:42:56.01\00:42:57.91 Sunday sacredness. 00:42:57.92\00:42:59.23 You have a thus saith tradition, 00:42:59.24\00:43:01.21 but not a thus saith the Lord, 00:43:01.22\00:43:02.24 we've already covered that in previous lessons. 00:43:02.25\00:43:04.34 And for those at home this is the first time 00:43:04.35\00:43:05.97 you are joining us and you're thinking 00:43:05.98\00:43:06.95 what is this guy talking about well you can go back 00:43:06.96\00:43:09.60 and read, and study the previous lessons 00:43:09.61\00:43:11.14 and find out, that the Bible teaches what we're saying. 00:43:11.15\00:43:13.61 I don't have time to cover all these truths again. 00:43:13.62\00:43:15.69 That's why you've come in toward the end of these, 00:43:15.70\00:43:18.72 Bible studies and then so 00:43:18.73\00:43:20.13 we're doing these for the last part here. 00:43:20.14\00:43:22.80 And so, they're gonna be the foundation of truth. 00:43:22.81\00:43:24.53 They're gonna be teaching the truths of God's word, 00:43:24.54\00:43:26.42 and they're gonna be bringing those back out. 00:43:26.43\00:43:27.65 And God's remnant are gonna be bringing those 00:43:27.66\00:43:28.99 back out of obscurity, back to the frontlines. 00:43:29.00\00:43:31.63 And if you're not in a Church 00:43:31.64\00:43:32.61 of teaching these truths, then obviously 00:43:32.62\00:43:35.06 you're not in God's Remnant for the last days 00:43:35.07\00:43:36.93 and God wants to bring us together. 00:43:36.94\00:43:38.16 Remember, we already looked at that. 00:43:38.17\00:43:39.64 The next part, the next part here 00:43:39.65\00:43:40.86 what we're looking at, that was the, 00:43:40.87\00:43:41.88 that was the first identifying characteristic. 00:43:41.89\00:43:43.51 The second one, it would be in relative 00:43:43.52\00:43:46.88 obscurity from the years 538 to 1798, 00:43:46.89\00:43:49.45 they would be there but they would be in hiding. 00:43:49.46\00:43:51.43 You won't see them on 3ABN or the Hope Channel 00:43:51.44\00:43:53.67 or things like that during that time 00:43:53.68\00:43:54.84 right because 3ABN didn't exists. 00:43:54.85\00:43:56.52 Not only for that reason, but they had to go into 00:43:56.53\00:43:59.20 hiding because of the prosecution. 00:43:59.21\00:44:01.35 Remember, we studied that already. 00:44:01.36\00:44:02.64 So they would be in hiding 00:44:02.65\00:44:03.66 because of the persecution during that time. 00:44:03.67\00:44:05.53 So that's the second identifying characteristic. 00:44:05.54\00:44:07.72 The third identifying characteristic we're looking 00:44:07.73\00:44:09.54 at is going to be keeping all nine Commandments. 00:44:09.55\00:44:12.20 Thank you, Shalita. All Ten Commandments, 00:44:13.60\00:44:16.86 even the fourth Commandment, 00:44:16.87\00:44:17.84 that dreaded fourth commandment 00:44:17.85\00:44:18.91 that much of the world has rejected. 00:44:18.92\00:44:20.90 Now, I've heard people say, you Adventists, 00:44:20.91\00:44:23.10 all you do is talk about the Fourth Commandment. 00:44:23.11\00:44:24.72 No, it isn't. No, it isn't. 00:44:24.73\00:44:26.01 We talk about the one about adultery too, 00:44:26.02\00:44:27.59 because everybody is breaking that one too. 00:44:27.60\00:44:29.10 You know, we tend to put that one, 00:44:31.19\00:44:33.26 an emphasis on that, you want to know why. 00:44:33.27\00:44:34.97 Because it's the only that starts with the remembrance, 00:44:34.98\00:44:36.59 it's the only one that the world's saying forget. 00:44:36.60\00:44:39.21 You know, the churches, the leaders other saying 00:44:39.22\00:44:40.88 well forget that forth commandment. 00:44:40.89\00:44:42.37 Forget the forth commandment. 00:44:42.38\00:44:43.47 And so we bring that one out because 00:44:43.48\00:44:44.84 that's what God would have us do. 00:44:44.85\00:44:46.52 If the whole church is breaking 00:44:46.53\00:44:47.96 a particular commandment, 00:44:47.97\00:44:48.94 you want to point him back and say, 00:44:48.95\00:44:49.92 you know what its just as important 00:44:49.93\00:44:50.90 as the other nine and there are whole churches 00:44:50.91\00:44:52.42 breaking the whole seventh commandment as well. 00:44:52.43\00:44:55.34 So we're pointing him back to that one too, right. 00:44:55.35\00:44:57.90 Okay, so then we're keeping all Ten Commandments 00:44:59.13\00:45:01.69 and teaching men to do so. That was number three. 00:45:01.70\00:45:04.78 Number four, they would have a prophet in their midst. 00:45:04.79\00:45:08.69 And we studied the Spirit of Prophecy study, 00:45:08.70\00:45:10.39 we already recovered that one yesterday 00:45:10.40\00:45:12.80 and on a previous video, if you want to go back 00:45:12.81\00:45:14.75 and look at that one, it's title number 18, 00:45:14.76\00:45:16.59 the Spirit of Prophecy number 18. 00:45:16.60\00:45:17.59 They believed in both the Old and the New Testament, 00:45:20.57\00:45:23.09 the whole Bible will be the role faith. 00:45:23.10\00:45:25.40 So let's get to here, the Bible, the Bible only, 00:45:25.41\00:45:27.56 the role of faith, right. 00:45:27.57\00:45:29.22 And then also there will be a worldwide organization. 00:45:29.23\00:45:31.91 There won't be some secluded little, 00:45:31.92\00:45:33.37 local non denominational church 00:45:33.38\00:45:35.27 here in accordance say, this is God's Remnant Church. 00:45:35.28\00:45:36.87 We know we are because we don't believe anything. 00:45:36.88\00:45:38.81 That's not, that's not what we'll be looking for. 00:45:38.82\00:45:40.69 We're gonna be looking for one that's 00:45:40.70\00:45:41.67 standing for God's truth and going to all the world. 00:45:41.68\00:45:44.40 If you want to be in God's church, 00:45:44.41\00:45:46.87 now if you want to be in the convenient Church 00:45:46.88\00:45:48.22 you can pick whatever you want. 00:45:48.23\00:45:49.65 But God's church you're gonna have 00:45:49.66\00:45:50.65 certain principles and certain truths, all right. 00:45:50.66\00:45:53.06 We're still in the review. 00:45:53.07\00:45:54.36 They're gonna have a present tense 00:45:54.37\00:45:56.08 judgment hour pre advent judgment. 00:45:56.09\00:45:58.42 This is going to be taking place. 00:45:58.43\00:45:59.48 In other words, the judgment of God 00:45:59.49\00:46:00.82 is gonna come before the second advent of Christ. 00:46:00.83\00:46:02.87 Now, Tim, I'm gonna pick up that catch again, 00:46:04.12\00:46:06.94 continue to read there in verse 7 00:46:06.95\00:46:08.53 and finish it up. Start from verse 7, 00:46:08.54\00:46:11.27 chapter 14, Revelation 14, verse 7, 00:46:11.28\00:46:14.47 just read the whole verse now. Okay. 00:46:14.48\00:46:17.09 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, 00:46:17.10\00:46:18.96 and give glory to Him; 00:46:18.97\00:46:21.27 for the hour of His judgment is come: 00:46:21.28\00:46:23.58 and worship Him that made heaven, 00:46:23.59\00:46:25.14 and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 00:46:25.15\00:46:28.92 Okay. So this Remnant Church 00:46:28.93\00:46:30.35 is also is gonna calling people back to worship God 00:46:30.36\00:46:34.03 as the creator God, to worship Him as the creator. 00:46:34.04\00:46:37.38 Now that was that one identifying 00:46:37.39\00:46:38.57 characteristic necessarily, but that's definitely 00:46:38.58\00:46:41.37 one of the things that's gonna be doing, 00:46:41.38\00:46:42.70 calling people back to worship God as the creator. 00:46:42.71\00:46:48.24 You know, in a world where many churches are saying, 00:46:48.25\00:46:51.26 its okay to believe in evolution, 00:46:51.27\00:46:53.30 isn't it nice to have a people that believe 00:46:53.31\00:46:54.94 that God actually done it in six days 00:46:54.95\00:46:56.34 and rested on the seventh day. 00:46:56.35\00:46:57.92 And you can believe what the Bible says and follow that. 00:46:57.93\00:47:00.12 And we're calling him back to God as the creator. 00:47:00.13\00:47:03.12 Calling people to worship Him as their creator. 00:47:03.13\00:47:05.36 In other words, God kind of knew, 00:47:05.37\00:47:08.09 I think God definitely knew, that in the last days, 00:47:08.10\00:47:11.29 you would have people that 00:47:11.30\00:47:12.86 didn't believe God was a creator. 00:47:12.87\00:47:14.68 That he evolved out of some kind of slime. 00:47:14.69\00:47:16.95 And so God is calling us 00:47:16.96\00:47:18.54 back to trust in Him as the creator. 00:47:18.55\00:47:20.76 Now there is another one here 00:47:20.77\00:47:21.74 and actually it wasn't on my slide, 00:47:21.75\00:47:22.92 so I'm gonna have to just point it out short to you. 00:47:22.93\00:47:24.92 Let's move on down to verse 9, actually that should be 00:47:24.93\00:47:27.17 Revelation 14 verse 6 through 9. 00:47:27.18\00:47:30.74 Six through nine is what should be not six and seven. 00:47:30.75\00:47:34.04 So if you want to make a correction there 00:47:34.05\00:47:35.33 on your notes or whatever six through nine 00:47:35.34\00:47:36.93 will be a better, better for that. 00:47:36.94\00:47:38.51 And Tim, I'm gonna go ahead 00:47:38.52\00:47:39.49 and read this last part for you okay. 00:47:39.50\00:47:40.65 I'll give you a break, brother. 00:47:40.66\00:47:41.65 Thank you. Your welcome. 00:47:41.66\00:47:43.02 Verse 9 says, and the third angel followed, 00:47:44.09\00:47:48.13 it has a second angels message 00:47:48.14\00:47:49.52 and I'll just read verse 8 to just to fill the context. 00:47:49.53\00:47:52.15 And there followed another angel, 00:47:52.16\00:47:53.13 second angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen 00:47:53.14\00:47:55.40 that great city, because she made all nations 00:47:55.41\00:47:57.39 drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 00:47:57.40\00:47:59.86 So that's the second angel. Then, it fits that as well, 00:47:59.87\00:48:03.24 calling people out of Babylon. 00:48:03.25\00:48:05.58 Babylon being spiritual confusion, okay. 00:48:05.59\00:48:08.07 Third angel followed, saying with a loud voice, 00:48:08.08\00:48:11.71 If any man worship the beast and his image, 00:48:11.72\00:48:14.25 and received his mark in his forehead, 00:48:14.26\00:48:15.68 or in his hand, the same shall drink 00:48:15.69\00:48:18.11 of the wine of the wrath of God, 00:48:18.12\00:48:19.56 which is poured out without mixture 00:48:19.57\00:48:20.99 into the cup of his indignation; 00:48:21.00\00:48:22.63 and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone 00:48:22.64\00:48:24.96 in the presence of the holy angels, 00:48:24.97\00:48:26.17 and in the presence of the Lamb. 00:48:26.18\00:48:27.67 So according to verse 9 I just want to had 00:48:27.68\00:48:29.42 note pass it there, this remnant people 00:48:29.43\00:48:31.90 that will be preaching a message that tells 00:48:31.91\00:48:33.99 people how to avoid the mark of the beast. 00:48:34.00\00:48:37.13 In other words, there won't be saying 00:48:37.14\00:48:39.04 we don't know what the mark of the beast is, 00:48:39.05\00:48:40.45 it could be this or could be that. 00:48:40.46\00:48:41.56 And for those of you at home and for those of us here, 00:48:41.57\00:48:44.54 that Pastor Scott is going to be teaching us next. 00:48:44.55\00:48:47.25 He is going to be teaching us 00:48:47.26\00:48:48.23 what the mark of the beast is 00:48:48.24\00:48:49.47 and how we can avoid the mark of the beast. 00:48:49.48\00:48:50.80 He is going to be actually be teaching that 00:48:50.81\00:48:51.78 for us here a little bit later on. 00:48:51.79\00:48:53.40 I'm not sure that the next study 00:48:53.41\00:48:54.71 or the one after but I know its coming very soon. 00:48:54.72\00:48:56.86 We already had him. 00:48:58.49\00:49:00.02 He already taught to you guys before. 00:49:00.03\00:49:01.45 I'm sorry, I'm not in here all the time, 00:49:01.46\00:49:04.69 Scott has already taught you about the mark of the beast. 00:49:04.70\00:49:06.31 You can find that on the 00:49:06.32\00:49:07.36 earlier studies is that right, 00:49:07.37\00:49:08.79 it goes before that, right. 00:49:08.80\00:49:10.15 You do have it. Yeah, its number 17. 00:49:12.49\00:49:15.08 As we're carrying on here, they're gonna have 00:49:16.37\00:49:17.34 a present tense judgment hour message, 00:49:17.35\00:49:20.09 and they're gonna be teaching the 00:49:20.10\00:49:21.11 mark of the beast, okay. 00:49:21.12\00:49:22.85 So they're gonna understand what the mark is. 00:49:22.86\00:49:24.43 Have you been to a church and they say 00:49:24.44\00:49:25.93 oh I wonder what the mark of the beast is. 00:49:25.94\00:49:27.53 And he says, well I don't know 00:49:27.54\00:49:29.62 and they'll say I'll tell you what I think it is. 00:49:29.63\00:49:31.57 Its barcode labels, don't buy 00:49:31.58\00:49:34.02 anything with a barcode label. 00:49:34.03\00:49:35.15 Do you know, I used to say that. 00:49:35.16\00:49:36.51 Oh that's the mark of the beast. 00:49:36.52\00:49:37.51 You know, you know, why you don't hear 00:49:37.52\00:49:38.49 people say that anymore? 00:49:38.50\00:49:40.60 Because those people starved to dead a long time ago, 00:49:40.61\00:49:42.98 they didn't buy anything with barcodes. 00:49:42.99\00:49:44.38 And so they've all kinds of theories out there 00:49:44.39\00:49:46.10 about what the mark of beast is. 00:49:46.11\00:49:47.80 But according to the Bible, that God's Remnant Church 00:49:47.81\00:49:50.35 are gonna know exactly what the mark of the beast is. 00:49:50.36\00:49:53.78 And that's why it says they're gonna be 00:49:53.79\00:49:54.86 warning people away from that. 00:49:54.87\00:49:55.84 Let me read it again the verse 9. 00:49:55.85\00:49:56.96 The third angel followed saying with a loud voice, 00:49:56.97\00:49:59.29 If any man worship the beast and his image, 00:49:59.30\00:50:01.40 and receive his mark in his forehead, 00:50:01.41\00:50:02.69 or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine 00:50:02.70\00:50:04.77 of the wrath of God. So they've been warning 00:50:04.78\00:50:06.06 people not to receive the mark of the beast. 00:50:06.07\00:50:07.91 Would it be fair for God to say I'm gonna have 00:50:07.92\00:50:10.80 the people warning people about the mark of the beast. 00:50:10.81\00:50:12.94 And then say well, God, what is the mark of the beast. 00:50:12.95\00:50:14.87 And He says well that's for me 00:50:14.88\00:50:15.85 to know and for you to find out. 00:50:15.86\00:50:17.50 Doesn't make sense would it? 00:50:18.61\00:50:19.72 So these guys are gonna have, 00:50:19.73\00:50:20.90 a group of people according 00:50:20.91\00:50:21.89 to what was read here in Revelation, 00:50:21.90\00:50:23.02 that's gonna be warning people 00:50:23.03\00:50:24.00 away from that mark of the beast. 00:50:24.01\00:50:25.47 And how to avoid and what it is. 00:50:25.48\00:50:27.25 And since you already, you already discovered that 00:50:27.26\00:50:29.02 with Pastor Scott study there. 00:50:29.03\00:50:30.77 You know what the mark of the beast 00:50:30.78\00:50:32.32 is and how to avoid it. 00:50:32.33\00:50:33.94 And they're gonna actually giving that, that message. 00:50:33.95\00:50:37.98 That's one of the identifying characteristics. 00:50:37.99\00:50:40.09 So I think I've given about nine or ten, 00:50:40.10\00:50:43.07 but we only had eight listed. 00:50:43.08\00:50:44.22 I'm gonna go with those eight again real quick. 00:50:44.23\00:50:46.69 And when you give your study and you go with these 00:50:46.70\00:50:49.16 eight identifying characteristics 00:50:49.17\00:50:50.31 I can promise you this. You've a lot of questions. 00:50:50.32\00:50:54.38 People gonna say what about this or that, 00:50:55.72\00:50:57.69 unless you cover everything really good 00:50:57.70\00:51:00.55 when you do the rest of your studies. 00:51:00.56\00:51:02.09 In other words, you don't go like 00:51:02.10\00:51:04.30 when you give your studies. 00:51:04.31\00:51:05.52 You don't from the word of God study 00:51:05.53\00:51:07.82 to the Remnant church study. 00:51:07.83\00:51:10.38 That you understand why we've been progressing 00:51:10.39\00:51:12.06 from these studies, the way we've been 00:51:12.07\00:51:13.04 progressing through them. 00:51:13.05\00:51:14.35 Because if you don't understand the fact 00:51:14.36\00:51:16.41 that God has a Remnant Church 00:51:16.42\00:51:17.72 it's going to be like, if you don't 00:51:17.73\00:51:19.11 understand how important it is 00:51:19.12\00:51:20.09 to keep the Ten Commandments, 00:51:20.10\00:51:21.96 then you won't understand the Remnant study. 00:51:21.97\00:51:23.55 If you don't understand how important 00:51:23.56\00:51:25.26 it is like for instance, to understand 00:51:25.27\00:51:27.25 the day for your principle. 00:51:27.26\00:51:28.94 And understand that God when He gets things 00:51:28.95\00:51:30.55 symbolically that the use of day for your, 00:51:30.56\00:51:32.11 you don't understand the Remnant Church study. 00:51:32.12\00:51:34.18 So all these studies that you been learning 00:51:34.19\00:51:35.71 as we're making them in your Bibles, they're progressive. 00:51:35.72\00:51:38.77 And we've led up to this is like, 00:51:38.78\00:51:39.84 this is almost like, almost a climactic event here, 00:51:39.85\00:51:41.78 where he's saying, you know what, 00:51:41.79\00:51:42.98 if you're in a church, if you're among 00:51:42.99\00:51:44.80 a group of people and you're worshiping with them. 00:51:44.81\00:51:46.72 And they're not the pillar in the ground of truth. 00:51:46.73\00:51:48.36 If they're not going into all the world, 00:51:48.37\00:51:50.07 if they're not teaching the truth about 00:51:50.08\00:51:51.15 the mark of the beast, if they're not teaching 00:51:51.16\00:51:52.46 these things then you need to leave. 00:51:52.47\00:51:54.75 That's harsh, but can you continue to grow an error, 00:51:57.08\00:52:02.51 and expect to be ready when Jesus comes? 00:52:02.52\00:52:05.17 And I wanna just point out something here 00:52:05.18\00:52:07.26 because some people say, well are you saying 00:52:07.27\00:52:09.57 that all my relatives that didn't obey these things 00:52:09.58\00:52:12.17 that you're saying in the Bible are going to be lost? 00:52:12.18\00:52:13.51 No, I'm not saying that at all. 00:52:13.52\00:52:15.57 Let me point out something to you, 00:52:15.58\00:52:17.01 and I think I've done this in earlier study. 00:52:18.52\00:52:19.90 I remember doing that in the early study 00:52:19.91\00:52:21.20 but we're just gonna touch on it again. 00:52:21.21\00:52:22.47 We look at the story of Noah in his day. 00:52:24.23\00:52:26.78 Noah's great, great, grandfather was Enoch. 00:52:26.79\00:52:30.04 And Enoch didn't had to know 00:52:30.05\00:52:31.02 anything about building an ark. 00:52:31.03\00:52:32.82 In order to him being saved, did he. 00:52:32.83\00:52:34.70 Then Bible says he wasn't not anymore 00:52:34.71\00:52:36.79 because the God just took him. 00:52:36.80\00:52:38.28 He was whisked away to heaven, right. 00:52:38.29\00:52:40.15 And then he got a son, 00:52:40.16\00:52:41.35 Enoch did by the name of Methuselah. 00:52:41.36\00:52:43.53 And you know Methuselah didn't have to 00:52:43.54\00:52:44.51 build an ark to be saved. 00:52:44.52\00:52:46.64 No, he died right when the flood came, didn't he. 00:52:46.65\00:52:49.31 And Methuselah also had a son his name was Lamech 00:52:49.32\00:52:52.10 and Lamech didn't either know how 00:52:52.11\00:52:53.88 to build an ark in order to be saved. 00:52:53.89\00:52:55.42 Apparently he didn't have to know how to build an ark. 00:52:56.68\00:52:58.52 He could have been saved, he saved have been saved 00:52:58.53\00:52:59.63 anyway likely, could have been anyway. 00:52:59.64\00:53:01.57 We don't know where he ended up, 00:53:01.58\00:53:02.69 when he died and stuff, the Bible is silent on that. 00:53:02.70\00:53:04.66 Well what about Noah, could Noah looked at, 00:53:04.67\00:53:07.10 when God come to Noah and said, 00:53:07.11\00:53:08.30 here is the present truth Noah 00:53:08.31\00:53:09.84 for your day, here is the truth. 00:53:09.85\00:53:10.91 And Noah says, well I know that's truth 00:53:10.92\00:53:12.36 but you know what my ancestors 00:53:12.37\00:53:14.06 didn't follow that truth and they were all saved. 00:53:14.07\00:53:16.28 I'm not going to follow it. 00:53:16.29\00:53:17.54 Could Noah have rejected the present day truth 00:53:17.55\00:53:19.60 and still been saved? No. 00:53:19.61\00:53:22.12 So as you learn things, as you and I are 00:53:22.13\00:53:24.34 learning things that they're from the Bible. 00:53:24.35\00:53:26.44 And if we tend to say, well I don't care about 00:53:26.45\00:53:28.76 what these truths are, because my parents 00:53:28.77\00:53:30.60 or my grandparents or whoever, 00:53:30.61\00:53:32.10 they didn't follow this truths 00:53:32.11\00:53:33.29 and I think they still gonna be 00:53:33.30\00:53:34.57 saved like way in the truth is. 00:53:34.58\00:53:35.96 If they had a relationship with 00:53:35.97\00:53:37.02 Jesus Christ they will be saved. 00:53:37.03\00:53:39.25 But when God has come to you 00:53:39.26\00:53:41.03 and He has given both you and He has given me, 00:53:41.04\00:53:43.52 new insider or some present day truth, 00:53:43.53\00:53:46.20 it is very dangerous for us to say, 00:53:46.21\00:53:48.54 hey, you know what, it really doesn't matter, 00:53:48.55\00:53:50.22 I'm just go on and do my own thing. 00:53:50.23\00:53:52.42 Very dangerous to do that. 00:53:52.43\00:53:53.72 If God is calling you out of the Church 00:53:53.73\00:53:56.60 that you're part of, and you reject that truth 00:53:56.61\00:53:59.70 and you refuse to come out. 00:53:59.71\00:54:01.76 Then it's the same as rejecting God. 00:54:01.77\00:54:03.09 I can picture Jesus there as He walked out of the 00:54:05.97\00:54:07.61 Temple the last time when he said your 00:54:07.62\00:54:08.86 house is left unto you desolate. 00:54:08.87\00:54:10.26 I can just picture tears in His eyes as He is leaving. 00:54:10.27\00:54:12.97 Wishing that they would all come with him too. 00:54:15.03\00:54:16.44 We're running a little short on time and so, 00:54:18.18\00:54:20.71 I wanna just point out this one other thing here 00:54:20.72\00:54:22.98 that just may help people to understand it a little more. 00:54:22.99\00:54:26.43 When we read this story in John chapter 6, 00:54:26.44\00:54:28.33 this is the whole chapter of 00:54:28.34\00:54:29.31 John chapter 6, it's very interesting. 00:54:29.32\00:54:31.10 At the beginning of the chapter, 00:54:31.11\00:54:32.54 Jesus begins the chapter by feeding the multitudes, 00:54:32.55\00:54:36.29 doing what we would call, what we would call work, 00:54:36.30\00:54:38.14 you know, what do you call it 00:54:38.15\00:54:39.62 when a Church does all that work. 00:54:39.63\00:54:40.66 We call it outreach, you know, 00:54:40.67\00:54:42.37 or community service, community service, right. 00:54:42.38\00:54:45.07 He is feeding the multitude, 00:54:45.08\00:54:46.11 He is feeding the thousands, right. 00:54:46.12\00:54:47.34 And he has 10,000 people, 00:54:47.35\00:54:48.72 5000 plus the women and children. 00:54:48.73\00:54:50.02 They're all following around 00:54:50.03\00:54:51.00 he feeds them all and they're all happy, 00:54:51.01\00:54:52.46 they love him and they're following Him. 00:54:52.47\00:54:54.28 John chapter 6, the beginning of the chapter. 00:54:54.29\00:54:56.43 The next time we read about Jesus doing 00:54:56.44\00:54:57.74 in John chapter 6 an right after that 00:54:57.75\00:54:59.87 He has the multitudes all standing there 00:54:59.88\00:55:01.72 and he begins to preach a sermon to them. 00:55:01.73\00:55:03.91 It preaches a very difficult sermon because 00:55:03.92\00:55:05.88 in John chapter 6 verse 63 he talks about 00:55:05.89\00:55:08.72 how these words I've just spoken at you, 00:55:08.73\00:55:09.98 they were spirit and their life. 00:55:09.99\00:55:11.60 They're spiritual words right, 00:55:11.61\00:55:13.24 He is speaking to them. 00:55:13.25\00:55:14.23 And he talks about how His body is the 00:55:14.24\00:55:17.92 bread you must eat, His blood 00:55:17.93\00:55:19.84 is the juice you must drink. 00:55:19.85\00:55:20.99 And the people were like, what's he talking about. 00:55:21.00\00:55:22.93 And He says I'm speaking to him spiritually 00:55:22.94\00:55:24.47 and he said he said it's too hard we can't handle it. 00:55:24.48\00:55:25.99 And all 10,000 of them leave. 00:55:26.00\00:55:28.63 So at the beginning of John chapter 6 00:55:28.64\00:55:29.99 He is doing community service 00:55:30.00\00:55:31.30 following Him. 00:55:31.31\00:55:32.94 At the end of John chapter 6 00:55:32.95\00:55:34.45 He preaches one sermon 00:55:34.46\00:55:35.69 and all 10,000 leave except His disciples. 00:55:35.70\00:55:38.28 Can you imagine what the conference 00:55:38.29\00:55:39.59 would do to me, or if the church would do to me 00:55:39.60\00:55:40.89 if I have 10,000 at a evangelist meeting at 00:55:40.90\00:55:42.95 the end of the first night, 10,000 people were there. 00:55:42.96\00:55:45.79 And the next night nobody shows up 00:55:45.80\00:55:47.69 except the church members. 00:55:47.70\00:55:48.90 They'll say, you're not preaching 00:55:48.91\00:55:49.88 here again right, thank you very much. 00:55:49.89\00:55:51.59 So this happened to Jesus but here is the point. 00:55:51.60\00:55:53.77 After everybody else left Jesus turns to His disciples 00:55:54.52\00:55:57.69 and he says, hey, are you gonna leave too? 00:55:57.70\00:55:59.62 And what was Peter's answer. Where are we gonna go. 00:55:59.63\00:56:02.69 You have the words of life. 00:56:02.70\00:56:05.36 They were following Jesus not because 00:56:05.37\00:56:07.10 the multitudes were following Him. 00:56:07.11\00:56:08.91 But they were following Jesus 00:56:08.92\00:56:09.93 because He had the words of life. 00:56:09.94\00:56:12.65 That must be the reason that we attend any church 00:56:12.66\00:56:14.86 we're at or we're going to, 00:56:14.87\00:56:15.88 we must have the place that has the words of life. 00:56:15.89\00:56:17.99 Let's go to our closing text, 00:56:18.00\00:56:19.15 John chapter 10 and verse 16. 00:56:19.16\00:56:22.00 I'm gonna take this one myself, 00:56:22.01\00:56:23.28 John chapter 6, John chapter 10 rather, 00:56:23.29\00:56:26.23 I'm still having John 6 in my head. 00:56:26.24\00:56:27.55 John 10 and verse 16. 00:56:27.56\00:56:30.71 By the way that story there in John chapter 6 00:56:30.72\00:56:34.10 it's a good sermon to preach. 00:56:34.11\00:56:36.90 If you wanna turn that into one, there is a lot there. 00:56:36.91\00:56:39.45 John chapter 10 and verse 16, 00:56:39.46\00:56:42.61 Jesus says this in his appeal. 00:56:42.62\00:56:44.23 Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: 00:56:46.74\00:56:49.75 them I also must bring, and when they hear my voice; 00:56:49.76\00:56:53.90 there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 00:56:53.91\00:56:57.23 Jesus is calling His people right now 00:56:57.24\00:56:59.20 that are hearing His voice. 00:56:59.21\00:57:00.37 Right now while you're hearing His voice. 00:57:00.38\00:57:02.13 He is calling you into one fold or those one shepherd. 00:57:02.14\00:57:05.48 Right now, presently on this earth there is 00:57:05.49\00:57:08.48 one church that fits the description of 00:57:08.49\00:57:09.80 everything we've looked at today 00:57:09.81\00:57:10.78 and that's the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:57:10.79\00:57:13.05 If you're a member of your church 00:57:13.06\00:57:14.05 for any other reason rather than 00:57:14.06\00:57:16.04 these identifying characteristics, 00:57:16.05\00:57:17.79 you need to think about what you're doing. 00:57:17.80\00:57:19.89 So I wanna invite you guys here 00:57:19.90\00:57:21.91 to continue to go along with us in our studies. 00:57:21.92\00:57:23.83 And you people at home, I wanna invite you 00:57:23.84\00:57:25.64 to come with us here, you can come to LIFE. 00:57:25.65\00:57:27.49 You can find out more information 00:57:27.50\00:57:28.47 on how to come to LIFE at comeexperiencelife.com 00:57:28.48\00:57:32.51 or you can download these studies 00:57:32.52\00:57:33.95 online at the same place. 00:57:33.96\00:57:35.50 And we hope to see you again here for our next study. 00:57:35.51\00:57:37.97 And thank you for showing up 00:57:37.98\00:57:39.56 and being here with us today. 00:57:39.57\00:57:40.79
