00:05:27.96\00:05:33.83 Meeting 2025. 00:05:33.83\00:05:35.46 My name is Brother Christopher Hudson, and my message for this 00:05:36.36\00:05:39.27 evening is The Final Deceptions. 00:05:39.27\00:05:41.44 And my time is limited, but my information is not. 00:05:42.00\00:05:45.34 And so in the interest of time, I just want to get down to 00:05:45.74\00:05:50.18 business. 00:05:50.18\00:05:50.68 I'd like to invite you, if you will, to have a word of prayer 00:05:51.91\00:05:54.48 with me. 00:05:54.48\00:05:55.35 And just for the next 60 seconds, as it is my tradition, 00:05:55.62\00:05:58.22 I invite you, if you're capable of doing so, to kneel with me. 00:05:58.25\00:06:01.32 And just to pray silently in your heart, to ask for God's 00:06:01.32\00:06:04.89 Holy Spirit to have full reign and control over our minds and 00:06:04.89\00:06:09.43 that we would hear exactly what it is the Lord is seeking to 00:06:09.43\00:06:13.54 communicate to each and every one of us for such a time as 00:06:13.54\00:06:16.71 this. 00:06:16.71\00:06:17.21 And please pray for myself as well that I will be surrendered 00:06:17.94\00:06:21.74 into the hand of the Lord. 00:06:21.74\00:06:22.91 Let's pray. 00:06:23.04\00:06:24.05 Heavenly Father, Lord God of the universe, I give you all 00:07:00.65\00:07:06.92 the glory, all the honor, all the praise because you alone 00:07:06.92\00:07:09.86 are worthy. 00:07:09.86\00:07:10.63 I thank you that you saw fit to call us out of the darkness 00:07:11.59\00:07:18.67 into this marvelous light. 00:07:18.67\00:07:20.40 And you made this way for us at such a great cost to thyself. 00:07:21.54\00:07:26.74 You laid down your life. 00:07:27.61\00:07:29.64 Unworthy as we are, we come to thee in the name of Jesus, and 00:07:31.08\00:07:34.45 we ask of you, Lord, for the forgiveness of our sins and for 00:07:34.45\00:07:37.79 the gift of the Holy Spirit. 00:07:37.79\00:07:39.32 Please open our eyes that we might behold wondrous things 00:07:40.62\00:07:44.06 out of thy law. 00:07:44.06\00:07:45.03 And I am asking, dear Lord, that you'd quicken us from the 00:07:45.29\00:07:52.00 lethargy of sin and help us to realize that now is the time 00:07:52.00\00:07:58.07 not to be getting ready, but to be ready. 00:07:58.07\00:08:00.64 And as I love to claim your promise in Jeremiah 33 and 00:08:02.14\00:08:05.05 verse three, I claim it shamelessly once again, Lord, 00:08:05.05\00:08:07.42 I'm thankful I can't wear you with my words. 00:08:07.42\00:08:09.88 You said call upon me and I will answer thee and I will 00:08:10.49\00:08:14.36 show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. 00:08:14.36\00:08:17.19 And so, Lord, please purge me of my pride, my self-trust, my 00:08:17.19\00:08:22.76 self -righteousness, and take my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my 00:08:22.76\00:08:26.67 being which you fashioned and use them for your purpose this 00:08:26.67\00:08:30.47 evening. 00:08:30.47\00:08:30.91 May your name be lifted up. 00:08:31.54\00:08:33.44 For these things I ask in the most precious name of King 00:08:33.81\00:08:36.81 Jesus. 00:08:36.81\00:08:37.48 Amen. 00:08:37.98\00:08:38.48 I want to invite you to open your Bibles. 00:08:39.91\00:08:42.58 We're going to go to the book of Revelation. 00:08:43.92\00:08:46.65 Revelation, the 18th chapter. 00:08:47.62\00:08:50.43 Once again, we're opening our Bibles together and we're 00:08:51.09\00:08:53.96 looking at Revelation, the 18th chapter. 00:08:53.96\00:08:57.23 And when you arrive there, just let me know by saying amen. 00:08:57.87\00:09:01.24 The Bible tells us in Revelation, chapter 18, 00:09:02.07\00:09:05.37 beginning at verse one, and after these things I saw 00:09:05.44\00:09:08.94 another angel, a mighty angel come down from heaven having 00:09:08.94\00:09:12.95 great power and the earth was lightened with his glory. 00:09:12.95\00:09:17.52 And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying, Babylon, 00:09:18.22\00:09:23.16 Babylon is fallen, is fallen. 00:09:24.89\00:09:27.46 Babylon, that great city, has become the habitation of 00:09:27.46\00:09:30.97 devils, the hold of every foul spirit and the cage of every 00:09:30.97\00:09:35.50 unclean and hateful bird. 00:09:35.50\00:09:37.71 And verse four declares to us that there was another voice 00:09:38.41\00:09:41.31 that came from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, 00:09:41.31\00:09:44.58 that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not 00:09:45.08\00:09:48.78 her plagues. 00:09:48.78\00:09:49.85 My family members, my friends, right now God is doing an 00:09:50.82\00:09:59.06 amazing work in planet earth. 00:09:59.06\00:10:01.80 He's moving upon men and women like you and I to lead lives of 00:10:03.93\00:10:11.54 total submission to his service. 00:10:11.54\00:10:13.48 And there are those even now, and I pray when I say there are 00:10:14.21\00:10:18.31 those, I'm speaking of all of us that are gathered here in 00:10:18.31\00:10:21.25 this place. 00:10:21.25\00:10:22.02 There are many that are listening to the promptings of 00:10:22.88\00:10:25.75 the Spirit of God that are calling us to repentance and 00:10:25.75\00:10:31.93 reformation and transformation. 00:10:31.93\00:10:34.46 And these are individuals that are laying all upon the altar 00:10:34.83\00:10:38.87 of sacrifice so that the purpose and will of the Lord 00:10:38.87\00:10:42.37 might be accomplished. 00:10:42.37\00:10:43.24 God is purging the people so that they might become fit 00:10:44.14\00:10:48.74 vessels into which he might pour out the fullness of his 00:10:48.74\00:10:53.11 Holy Spirit. 00:10:53.11\00:10:54.08 And it is this impartation of the Spirit of God, this 00:10:55.22\00:10:59.59 fullness of his presence inhabiting men and women that 00:10:59.59\00:11:04.16 is going to result in this loud cry that we see there in 00:11:04.16\00:11:08.10 Revelation chapter 18 verses one and two. 00:11:08.10\00:11:10.97 Men and women that are so filled with the presence of the 00:11:10.97\00:11:14.77 Lord that this earth will be lightened with the glory of 00:11:14.77\00:11:18.21 God. 00:11:18.21\00:11:18.97 All the inhabitants of planet earth will have an opportunity 00:11:19.77\00:11:22.78 to see a practical revelation of the character of the creator 00:11:22.78\00:11:27.02 in men and women like ourselves. 00:11:27.02\00:11:28.92 The Bible tells us that when this happens in the book of 00:11:30.35\00:11:32.92 Daniel chapter 12 and verse 3, they that be wise shall shine 00:11:32.92\00:11:37.43 as the brightness of the firmament. 00:11:37.43\00:11:39.06 And those that turn many to righteousness as the stars 00:11:39.06\00:11:43.13 forever and ever, God's people will go forth with their faces 00:11:43.13\00:11:47.40 lighted up, beaming with the glory of God, declaring, come 00:11:47.40\00:11:52.24 out of Babylon, come into Jesus. 00:11:52.24\00:11:56.91 Come under the banner of salvation. 00:11:58.98\00:12:01.18 Friends, this loud cry is right now increasing in volume and is 00:12:04.79\00:12:13.13 getting ready to get so loud that it is going to shake the 00:12:13.13\00:12:18.83 very foundation of Babylon until it all comes crumbling 00:12:18.83\00:12:22.27 down. 00:12:22.27\00:12:22.84 But as this work goes forward, the devil and his angels are 00:12:26.24\00:12:32.75 not going to allow it to take place without violent 00:12:32.75\00:12:38.82 opposition. 00:12:38.82\00:12:39.85 Babylon is going to make one final thrust to hold men and 00:12:45.06\00:12:51.67 women in deception until probation is closed and it is 00:12:51.67\00:12:55.67 too late for them to receive cleansing from the Lamb of God 00:12:55.67\00:13:00.14 that can take away all sin. 00:13:00.14\00:13:01.88 He's going to make one last charge, if you will, to take 00:13:03.04\00:13:09.72 down the throne upon which the King of Heaven reigns. 00:13:09.72\00:13:15.49 The Bible tells us something about this great city Babylon. 00:13:16.69\00:13:19.69 Run with me in your scriptures, if you will, to the book of 00:13:19.89\00:13:22.30 Revelation, chapter 16, and we're looking at the 19th 00:13:22.30\00:13:26.10 verse. 00:13:26.10\00:13:26.57 In Revelation 16 and verse 19, the Bible tells us something 00:13:27.60\00:13:31.97 about this great city Babylon. 00:13:31.97\00:13:33.58 It says, And the great city was divided into three parts. 00:13:33.91\00:13:38.08 And the cities of the nation fell, and great Babylon came in 00:13:38.65\00:13:43.12 remembrance before God to give unto her the cup of the wine of 00:13:43.12\00:13:48.32 the fierceness of his wrath. 00:13:48.32\00:13:50.39 The Word of God informs us that this massive apostate system of 00:13:50.39\00:13:56.30 rebellion actually is comprised of three divisions. 00:13:56.30\00:13:59.70 Are you following with me? 00:13:59.73\00:14:00.97 And these three divisions are spoken of in detail in 00:14:01.70\00:14:05.34 Revelation, chapter 16 and verse 13. 00:14:05.34\00:14:08.44 The Bible tells us there, and I beheld three unclean spirits 00:14:09.14\00:14:12.71 like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of 00:14:12.71\00:14:17.35 the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false 00:14:17.35\00:14:21.26 prophet. 00:14:21.26\00:14:21.99 For these are the spirits of devil's working miracles, which 00:14:22.46\00:14:26.06 go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to 00:14:26.06\00:14:29.70 gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 00:14:29.70\00:14:34.24 The three distinct divisions of this great city Babylon are the 00:14:35.14\00:14:40.38 dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 00:14:40.38\00:14:43.28 And though externally they may appear to be very different, I 00:14:43.28\00:14:48.58 can imagine in your mind's eye you might see them as being 00:14:48.58\00:14:52.62 distinctly different, but in reality although on the 00:14:52.62\00:14:56.42 exterior they may present themselves as different, at the 00:14:56.42\00:15:00.26 very core of their beings they're all the same. 00:15:00.26\00:15:02.83 How do we know this? 00:15:03.87\00:15:05.07 Because the Word of God tells us in Matthew chapter 12 and 00:15:05.07\00:15:05.10 verse 34 when Jesus was contending with the Pharisees 00:15:09.10\00:15:13.24 He said, O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, 00:15:13.24\00:15:17.11 speak good things? 00:15:17.28\00:15:18.21 For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 00:15:18.45\00:15:23.05 What is in one's heart is made manifest through one's mouth. 00:15:23.45\00:15:28.09 And the Word of God informs us that out of the mouth of the 00:15:28.72\00:15:32.49 dragon, the beast, and the false prophet the same thing 00:15:32.49\00:15:35.66 can be seen, three unclean spirits like frogs. 00:15:35.66\00:15:39.20 So though they may present themselves differently, at the 00:15:41.20\00:15:46.44 heart they're all the same. 00:15:46.44\00:15:47.78 If you're following, say amen. 00:15:47.88\00:15:49.38 And the deceptions that are going to be perpetrated by 00:15:50.85\00:15:55.38 these prophetic powers, these three divisions of Babylon, the 00:15:55.38\00:15:59.69 Word of God says will accomplish one specific agenda. 00:15:59.69\00:16:02.92 These demonic spirits will go forth to the kings of the earth 00:16:03.39\00:16:07.20 and of the whole world, the leading powers of our world, 00:16:07.20\00:16:10.40 men and women in positions of influence that will utilize 00:16:10.60\00:16:13.74 their influence to impact the masses. 00:16:13.74\00:16:16.04 And unitedly the devil is seeking to seduce and beguile 00:16:16.44\00:16:21.51 and ensnare the minds of men and women that they might unite 00:16:21.51\00:16:25.91 with him to fight against God and those that will stand for 00:16:25.91\00:16:29.88 truth and righteousness in the final conflict, the Battle of 00:16:29.88\00:16:33.82 Armageddon. 00:16:33.82\00:16:35.79 The dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 00:16:37.46\00:16:40.00 Now like I stated earlier, internally they're all the 00:16:41.96\00:16:47.27 same, but the deceptions that they will carry out are going 00:16:47.27\00:16:52.11 to be distinctly different in some sense, but they all 00:16:52.11\00:16:55.64 collectively synergistically work together to accomplish one 00:16:55.64\00:16:59.58 specific aim. 00:16:59.58\00:17:00.38 Are you following so far? 00:17:00.42\00:17:01.65 For instance, let's talk about the dragon. 00:17:02.25\00:17:04.09 Who is this dragon? 00:17:04.09\00:17:05.39 Revelation chapter 12 and verse 9. 00:17:05.65\00:17:07.36 I want to speak to you as if you know none of these things 00:17:07.39\00:17:10.09 because if someone here doesn't know, then you will know. 00:17:10.09\00:17:12.73 In Revelation chapter 12, looking at the ninth verse, the 00:17:15.23\00:17:18.27 Bible says, And the great dragon was cast out. 00:17:18.27\00:17:21.47 That old serpent called the devil and Satan, which 00:17:22.14\00:17:25.67 deceiveth the whole world. 00:17:25.67\00:17:26.91 He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out 00:17:27.61\00:17:31.41 with him. 00:17:31.41\00:17:36.72 symbol of the devil himself. 00:17:36.72\00:17:38.45 The devil actually accompanied by his league of fallen angels. 00:17:38.92\00:17:42.86 It's quite interesting. 00:17:43.06\00:17:44.16 Most of the times when you see the symbol of the dragon 00:17:44.36\00:17:47.30 employed for Satan, you'll notice that it's him along with 00:17:47.30\00:17:51.37 his fallen angels. 00:17:51.37\00:17:52.40 Like in the book of Revelation chapter 12, just drop down to 00:17:52.90\00:17:55.84 verse 7. 00:17:55.84\00:17:58.17 Are you there? 00:17:59.07\00:18:03.04 7, And there was war in heaven. 00:18:03.04\00:18:04.35 Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the 00:18:04.71\00:18:07.78 dragon and his angels fought and prevailed not. 00:18:07.78\00:18:10.99 Are you following so far? 00:18:11.85\00:18:13.15 So this dragon primarily is a symbol of the devil, 00:18:13.72\00:18:17.43 accompanied by his league of angels. 00:18:18.49\00:18:20.93 And in case you still don't know who we're talking about, 00:18:21.10\00:18:23.87 the Bible makes it clear, you know him, that old serpent. 00:18:23.97\00:18:27.24 And when you hear those words, that old serpent, it takes your 00:18:28.14\00:18:32.14 mind all the way back to the book of Genesis, doesn't it? 00:18:32.14\00:18:35.18 And so let's go there together, if you will, Genesis chapter 3, 00:18:35.58\00:18:38.71 and let's look at verse 1 at that old serpent. 00:18:38.81\00:18:41.45 In Genesis 3, beginning at the first verse, the Bible tells 00:18:42.42\00:18:46.25 us, Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast to the 00:18:46.25\00:18:51.29 field which the Lord God had made. 00:18:51.29\00:18:53.26 And the serpent said unto the woman, Have God said, Ye shall 00:18:53.60\00:18:57.37 not eat of every tree of the garden? 00:18:57.37\00:18:59.57 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the 00:19:01.40\00:19:03.71 fruit of the trees of the garden. 00:19:03.71\00:19:05.01 But of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, God 00:19:05.51\00:19:07.71 has said, Ye shall not eat it, neither shall ye touch it, lest 00:19:07.71\00:19:11.15 ye die. 00:19:11.15\00:19:12.01 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. 00:19:12.55\00:19:16.65 Deception number 1. 00:19:17.09\00:19:18.59 In the original language from which the scripture was 00:19:19.09\00:19:21.72 translated, the devil is actually emphatically saying, 00:19:21.72\00:19:24.89 You certainly will not die. 00:19:24.89\00:19:26.39 You absolutely will not die. 00:19:26.63\00:19:29.23 The devil was asserting that man possesses something with 00:19:30.37\00:19:35.37 immortality, that man possesses immortality. 00:19:35.37\00:19:38.77 If you're following, say amen. 00:19:38.81\00:19:40.21 And in this immortal state of existence that man would enter 00:19:41.01\00:19:44.81 into, as a result of transgressing the law of God, 00:19:44.81\00:19:50.15 man would be as God, knowing good and evil. 00:19:50.15\00:19:54.99 So man would be mortal, immortal rather, as God, 00:19:55.29\00:19:59.69 knowing good and evil. 00:20:00.00\00:20:01.80 Well think about this. 00:20:02.20\00:20:03.26 The Bible tells us in John chapter 4 and verse 24 that God 00:20:03.77\00:20:08.14 is a spirit. 00:20:08.14\00:20:10.34 And those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in 00:20:10.77\00:20:14.54 truth. 00:20:14.54\00:20:17.15 He was suggesting to her that she would not surely die. 00:20:17.15\00:20:20.45 Certainly she would not die. 00:20:20.45\00:20:21.95 What would happen is she would live as an immortal spirit that 00:20:21.95\00:20:25.85 would know both good and evil. 00:20:25.85\00:20:27.29 She would have information that presently she does not have 00:20:27.39\00:20:30.36 access to. 00:20:30.36\00:20:31.03 She would become omniscient. 00:20:31.13\00:20:32.96 This is where we see the origin of the baleful deception, the 00:20:34.76\00:20:41.20 immortality of the soul. 00:20:41.20\00:20:42.77 That man possesses an immortal soul and at the point of death 00:20:44.24\00:20:48.61 man continues to live as an immortal spirit with unlimited 00:20:48.61\00:20:53.05 omniscient information. 00:20:53.05\00:20:54.68 And friends we see this thing being taught everywhere in 00:20:55.05\00:20:57.89 society today. 00:20:57.89\00:20:58.89 Every video game the player dies comes back again, dies 00:20:59.29\00:21:03.16 comes back again, television shows, family members come to 00:21:03.16\00:21:06.59 visit you and tell you things that you didn't know. 00:21:06.59\00:21:09.36 Matter of fact you can even go down to Walmart and go into the 00:21:10.73\00:21:16.10 game section and pick up a Ouija board. 00:21:16.10\00:21:18.41 Go on Amazon, pick up a Ouija board and the Ouija board is 00:21:20.91\00:21:24.11 something that's fit for all ages so they say. 00:21:24.11\00:21:26.58 And what is it used for? 00:21:28.32\00:21:29.42 People use a little device on the Ouija board to gain 00:21:29.58\00:21:34.29 information to questions that they have and there is no 00:21:34.29\00:21:38.13 booklet that comes with the Ouija board that says you can 00:21:38.13\00:21:41.06 only ask questions within this parameter. 00:21:41.06\00:21:43.06 Like you know you can only ask questions about things that 00:21:44.13\00:21:46.40 happen in America. 00:21:46.40\00:21:51.64 the sun. 00:21:51.64\00:21:52.01 Why? 00:21:52.01\00:21:55.31 the Ouija board are supposed to be all-knowing. 00:21:55.31\00:21:58.95 This deception is going forward all throughout the world today 00:22:00.72\00:22:04.15 and people are being hooked by it line and sinker. 00:22:04.15\00:22:09.19 Why? 00:22:09.42\00:22:13.19 going to cause us to flee in the other direction. 00:22:13.19\00:22:15.53 The word of God tells us in 1 Corinthians, matter of fact go 00:22:17.17\00:22:19.70 with me, 2 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians chapter 11. 00:22:19.70\00:22:22.17 What did I give you in the Bible? 00:22:23.41\00:22:24.47 Where were you going? 00:22:24.51\00:22:25.21 In 2 Corinthians chapter 11 looking at verse 14 the Bible 00:22:27.31\00:22:31.55 says Now of course the immediate context of verse 15 00:22:31.55\00:22:51.53 is speaking of the devil moving on the minds of men that are 00:22:51.53\00:22:56.20 not submitted to the Lord using them as instruments of 00:22:56.20\00:23:00.04 deception to lead people away from the righteousness of Jesus 00:23:00.04\00:23:03.68 Christ to some human-made doctrine that literally leads 00:23:03.68\00:23:07.68 people to their destruction. 00:23:07.68\00:23:09.35 But friends, in the broader scope of that scripture, it's 00:23:09.82\00:23:14.52 also talking about the fallen angels. 00:23:14.52\00:23:16.66 Are you following? 00:23:16.96\00:23:18.03 Because even the Bible tells us, open your Bible quickly if 00:23:19.09\00:23:22.00 you will, the book of Hebrews. 00:23:22.00\00:23:23.23 Hebrews chapter one. 00:23:23.73\00:23:24.77 Where are you going now? 00:23:24.77\00:23:25.83 In Hebrews chapter one, looking at verse 14, the Lord has this 00:23:27.30\00:23:31.11 to say about his angels. 00:23:31.11\00:23:32.37 Hebrews, the first chapter, looking at the 14th verse, it 00:23:32.47\00:23:36.28 says, are not they all ministering spirits sent forth 00:23:36.28\00:23:39.95 to minister unto them which shall be heirs of salvation? 00:23:39.95\00:23:44.55 So God is working through his angels. 00:23:44.82\00:23:47.52 They are ministering spirits and their objective is to 00:23:47.72\00:23:51.26 minister to us, to aid us, so that we might lay hold upon the 00:23:51.26\00:23:55.26 gift of salvation that is offered to us in Jesus Christ. 00:23:55.26\00:23:58.83 But as the devil has made it abundantly clear in Isaiah 14 00:23:59.47\00:24:02.94 and verse 14 that he wants to be like the Most High, he 00:24:02.94\00:24:06.84 counterfeits the work of God. 00:24:06.84\00:24:08.18 Are you following? 00:24:08.18\00:24:08.21 So he sends forth his angels as ministering spirits, not to aid 00:24:09.48\00:24:14.35 us in laying hold upon salvation, but to lead us into 00:24:14.35\00:24:18.12 deception and destruction. 00:24:18.12\00:24:19.82 And friends, they will come to us in beautiful forms. 00:24:24.49\00:24:27.50 You know, when the Lord called me out of the world into this 00:24:27.76\00:24:30.97 marvelous light, I remember just a few short years after I 00:24:30.97\00:24:34.60 was appointed to be a Sabbath school teacher and I was 00:24:34.60\00:24:37.07 working with some early teen young people and I was teaching 00:24:37.07\00:24:40.71 them these things that are spoken of in the scriptures 00:24:40.71\00:24:43.61 like in Ecclesiastes chapter 9 and verse 5 where it tells us 00:24:43.61\00:24:47.02 that a living dog is better than a deadline, for the living 00:24:47.02\00:24:50.02 know that they shall die but the dead know not anything. 00:24:50.02\00:24:53.15 And we were talking about the state of the dead and how man 00:24:53.69\00:24:56.66 doesn't have an immortal soul and all of this information and 00:24:56.66\00:24:59.53 there was one young lady in that group of young people, 00:24:59.53\00:25:02.86 very studious, bright young girl. 00:25:02.86\00:25:04.90 She always was very respectable. 00:25:05.17\00:25:07.50 She was adopted by a very godly, kind elderly couple, her 00:25:07.77\00:25:12.21 and her brother, and she raised her hand and she began to tell 00:25:12.21\00:25:15.94 me something that floored me. 00:25:15.94\00:25:17.71 She said, you know, well, when I come home from school in the 00:25:18.35\00:25:22.52 evenings, there's an old lady that comes and visits with me. 00:25:22.52\00:25:26.09 She sits down with me as I'm doing my homework and she said 00:25:26.12\00:25:29.19 that she's my dead grandmother and she's just always there. 00:25:29.19\00:25:34.20 She talks nice to me. 00:25:34.20\00:25:35.50 She helps me with my homework and then she and then she goes 00:25:35.50\00:25:38.73 away and I'm listening to her astounded because what I just 00:25:38.73\00:25:45.57 knew the theory of she was experiencing in reality and I 00:25:45.57\00:25:50.18 said to this young lady, that is not your dead grandmother. 00:25:50.18\00:25:54.55 That is a fallen angel. 00:25:55.08\00:25:57.02 That is a demonic spirit. 00:25:57.25\00:25:58.59 The next time this happens, I want you to say it is written, 00:25:58.85\00:26:04.43 the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not 00:26:06.06\00:26:09.13 anything. 00:26:09.13\00:26:09.56 You are not my grandmother. 00:26:10.70\00:26:12.17 In the name of Jesus, get thee behind me, Satan. 00:26:12.50\00:26:15.30 The very next Sabbath, one week later at the end of Sabbath 00:26:18.04\00:26:21.74 school, she came to me and she told me how she was visited 00:26:21.74\00:26:25.01 once again by this old lady that was supposed to be her 00:26:25.01\00:26:29.08 grandmother. 00:26:29.08\00:26:29.48 But on this occasion, she said, I did what you told me. 00:26:30.59\00:26:33.96 I said, it is written, the living know that they shall 00:26:34.39\00:26:40.10 die, but the dead know not anything. 00:26:40.10\00:26:41.76 In the name of Jesus, get thee behind me, Satan. 00:26:42.10\00:26:44.83 And she said she did not come. 00:26:45.77\00:26:47.80 The spirit did not come back to her again throughout the week. 00:26:47.87\00:26:52.17 Brothers and sisters, the truth of the word of God is right 00:26:54.11\00:26:56.71 before us and the devil is seeking to allure us away from 00:26:56.71\00:27:01.72 Christ because the objective of these fallen angels coming as 00:27:01.72\00:27:06.22 loved ones, coming as famous individuals that we have 00:27:06.22\00:27:09.36 respect for is to lie to us and seduce us away from the truth. 00:27:09.36\00:27:13.80 The same way as we heard the other evening in the book of 00:27:14.56\00:27:17.97 first Timothy chapter four and verse one, where it tells us 00:27:17.97\00:27:20.50 that the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter 00:27:20.50\00:27:23.24 times, these last days, some shall depart from the faith, 00:27:23.24\00:27:26.37 giving heed to seducing spirits and the doctrine of devils. 00:27:26.57\00:27:31.31 And so how are we going to ascertain as to whether or not 00:27:32.98\00:27:37.15 we are actually interacting with one that is sent of God or 00:27:37.15\00:27:40.82 one that is sent by Satan? 00:27:40.82\00:27:42.12 Will you go with me again in your Bibles? 00:27:42.36\00:27:43.89 We're going to the book of Isaiah chapter eight, Isaiah 00:27:44.06\00:27:47.23 chapter eight and Isaiah chapter eight. 00:27:47.23\00:27:50.97 If you start with me at the 19th verse, Isaiah, the eighth 00:27:51.03\00:27:54.90 chapter. 00:27:54.90\00:27:56.34 Some say yes. 00:27:57.34\00:27:58.07 Some say no. 00:27:58.11\00:27:58.87 I'll just keep going. 00:27:59.51\00:28:00.54 Amen. 00:28:00.54\00:28:00.81 In Isaiah chapter eight, beginning with me at verse 19, 00:28:01.71\00:28:05.51 the Bible says this, and when they shall say unto you, after 00:28:05.58\00:28:10.45 familiar spirits and wizards that peep and mutter, should 00:28:10.45\00:28:16.26 not a people seek unto their God for the living to the dead? 00:28:16.26\00:28:21.76 In other words, this is foolishness. 00:28:21.93\00:28:24.13 And then verse 20 declares to the law and to the testimony, 00:28:25.50\00:28:30.97 if they speak not according to this word, there is no light in 00:28:30.97\00:28:37.45 them. 00:28:37.45\00:28:43.18 this being presents itself to you. 00:28:43.18\00:28:47.36 If that which they are sharing is not according to that which 00:28:47.52\00:28:50.79 is established in the law and the prophets, there's no light 00:28:50.79\00:28:55.26 in them. 00:28:55.26\00:28:55.83 If you're following, say amen. 00:28:56.60\00:28:58.57 That's the deception of the dragon, the work of 00:28:59.60\00:29:03.30 spiritualism, which is founded on the deception of the 00:29:03.30\00:29:08.94 immortality of the soul. 00:29:08.94\00:29:10.31 It is sweeping our world today and we are going to see greater 00:29:11.15\00:29:14.72 manifestations as we are advancing towards the second 00:29:14.72\00:29:17.92 coming of Christ. 00:29:17.92\00:29:18.92 Now we have the issue of the beast and what work he will be 00:29:19.99\00:29:23.63 accomplishing as we press towards the conclusion of the 00:29:23.63\00:29:26.59 great controversy. 00:29:26.59\00:29:27.40 If you go with me to Revelation chapter 13, please, and start 00:29:28.06\00:29:31.70 with me at verse one. 00:29:31.70\00:29:32.83 Verse one, the Bible tells us, An eyed John stood upon the 00:29:32.93\00:29:37.71 sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, 00:29:37.71\00:29:40.44 having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns ten 00:29:40.58\00:29:44.21 crowns, and upon its heads the names of blasphemy. 00:29:44.21\00:29:48.05 Now, friends, a beast in Bible prophecy is a symbol of a 00:29:48.42\00:29:54.79 kingdom. 00:29:54.79\00:29:55.46 This information is set before us if we open our Bibles to the 00:29:56.02\00:30:00.06 book of Daniel. 00:30:00.06\00:30:01.23 In Daniel chapter seven, beginning at the 17th verse, 00:30:01.90\00:30:07.67 the word of God tells us these great beasts, which are four, 00:30:08.37\00:30:13.14 are four kings which shall arise out of the earth. 00:30:13.71\00:30:18.45 Then to give further necessary clarification, if you look down 00:30:18.85\00:30:22.92 at verse 23, the word of God goes on to say, thus he said, 00:30:22.92\00:30:27.89 the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth. 00:30:28.42\00:30:33.93 So a beast in prophecy is a symbol of what? 00:30:34.50\00:30:37.00 A kingdom, a political power, a stately power. 00:30:37.87\00:30:41.44 However, this kingdom that is symbolized as a beast, this 00:30:41.80\00:30:46.57 political power, this civil power that is symbolized as a 00:30:46.57\00:30:50.68 beast, in Revelation 13 and verse one, it is quite unique. 00:30:50.68\00:30:54.98 The reason it is quite unique is because the word of God 00:30:55.62\00:30:58.52 tells us that on its heads is the name what? 00:30:58.52\00:31:02.09 Blasphemy. 00:31:02.72\00:31:03.56 Now a kingdom, this is a civil power, this is a secular 00:31:03.89\00:31:08.90 entity. 00:31:08.90\00:31:09.63 But blasphemy, that is not a secular terminology, that is a 00:31:10.40\00:31:15.67 religious term. 00:31:15.67\00:31:16.77 Are you following? 00:31:16.84\00:31:17.64 So the word of God is informing us that we're not just looking 00:31:19.01\00:31:22.68 at any normal political power, we are looking at a kingdom 00:31:22.68\00:31:27.65 that unites the powers of both church and state. 00:31:27.65\00:31:31.65 And if we even go a little bit deeper with that, the very fact 00:31:32.09\00:31:35.89 that the name blasphemy is on the heads of this political 00:31:35.89\00:31:41.10 power lets us know that the prominent, the primary 00:31:41.10\00:31:44.53 characteristic of this kingdom is that it's religious. 00:31:44.53\00:31:48.10 Are you getting the point right now? 00:31:48.80\00:31:50.17 And in its religion, it engages in blasphemy. 00:31:51.21\00:31:55.84 Now there are two scriptures that I want you to look at with 00:31:56.78\00:31:59.81 me this evening that will help us understand what blasphemy 00:31:59.81\00:32:03.99 can be in the sight of the Almighty. 00:32:03.99\00:32:05.52 Will you start with me in the book of Mark, Matthew, Mark 00:32:05.89\00:32:09.69 chapter two, and look at the seventh verse. 00:32:09.69\00:32:12.93 Mark chapter two, looking at the seventh verse. 00:32:13.33\00:32:17.13 The Bible says there, why doth this man thus speak 00:32:17.13\00:32:22.10 blasphemies? 00:32:22.10\00:32:23.34 Who can forgive sin, but God only. 00:32:24.04\00:32:27.41 So if a man declares that they have the ability to forgive 00:32:27.81\00:32:34.12 another man of their sins, that is the act of blasphemy. 00:32:34.12\00:32:38.05 Now just move forward with me to the book of John chapter 10, 00:32:38.55\00:32:43.36 and we're going to look at the 33rd verse there. 00:32:43.99\00:32:46.73 Once again, Jesus having to deal with the wily Pharisees. 00:32:46.93\00:32:51.13 He told them, you know, many good works have I done, for 00:32:51.57\00:32:53.60 which of these will you stone me? 00:32:53.60\00:32:54.90 And in verse 33, they said to him, for good work we stone 00:32:54.94\00:32:57.91 thee not, but for blasphemy, because thou being a man makest 00:32:57.91\00:33:04.81 thyself God. 00:33:04.81\00:33:06.92 So when a man claims the prerogatives of God, when a man 00:33:07.32\00:33:11.35 claims that they hold the position of divinity and they 00:33:11.35\00:33:14.92 have the ability to forgive or to abolish the sins of another 00:33:14.92\00:33:19.16 man, this is the act of blasphemy. 00:33:19.16\00:33:22.96 So this beast, this political power that unites both church 00:33:24.30\00:33:28.37 and state in revelation chapter 13 and verse one, it must be a 00:33:28.37\00:33:33.98 political power that would set up men as its their 00:33:33.98\00:33:38.08 representatives would be men that would not only claim to 00:33:38.08\00:33:41.82 have the authority of God, but also claim that they have the 00:33:41.82\00:33:45.25 ability to forgive or absolve other men of their sins. 00:33:45.25\00:33:49.76 There is only one system in existence that fits this 00:33:50.23\00:33:54.30 character. 00:33:54.30\00:33:58.40 papacy. 00:33:58.40\00:33:58.97 It is the fact of the matter. 00:34:00.17\00:34:01.87 If you believe it, say amen. 00:34:01.90\00:34:03.41 And the scriptures tell us that there is one marked act, if you 00:34:04.94\00:34:09.18 will, one marked act, if you will, that this power engaged 00:34:09.18\00:34:13.68 in, that in a marked fashion shows that it professes to 00:34:13.68\00:34:20.62 possess the power of the Lord God. 00:34:20.62\00:34:22.86 Are you following? 00:34:22.92\00:34:23.53 Go with me to Daniel, Daniel chapter seven. 00:34:24.56\00:34:27.03 In Daniel chapter seven, this power that we're looking at in 00:34:27.76\00:34:31.77 revelation chapter 13 is represented to us under the 00:34:31.77\00:34:34.94 symbol of a little horn, has eyes of a man, speaks great 00:34:34.94\00:34:39.71 words out of its mouth. 00:34:39.71\00:34:40.88 And in verse 25 of that chapter, the Bible tells us 00:34:41.68\00:34:45.18 there that he shall speak great words against the most high. 00:34:45.18\00:34:48.28 That's blasphemy. 00:34:48.32\00:34:49.32 And he shall wear out the saints of the most high. 00:34:49.42\00:34:51.45 That means he'll persecute those that will not follow its 00:34:51.55\00:34:54.69 dictates. 00:34:54.69\00:34:55.59 And he shall think, he shall think to change times and laws. 00:34:55.89\00:35:02.26 This power fulfilled this prophetic language in the year 00:35:03.03\00:35:07.47 321 A.D. 00:35:07.47\00:35:09.24 When Emperor Constantine the Great, a pagan that nominally 00:35:09.70\00:35:15.61 converted to Christianity of the Romish nature, he made a 00:35:15.61\00:35:23.55 decree for all of the Roman empire to universally rest on 00:35:23.55\00:35:29.56 the day of the sun, Sunday. 00:35:29.56\00:35:31.49 Are you following friends? 00:35:32.73\00:35:33.96 And this is the origin of Sunday observance, Sunday rest, 00:35:35.40\00:35:42.00 which many adhere to today. 00:35:42.34\00:35:44.54 I know many do it sincerely, but nonetheless, it is contrary 00:35:44.74\00:35:49.18 to what is found in the scriptures. 00:35:49.18\00:35:50.98 And the Roman Catholic Church does not hold type lips in 00:35:52.81\00:35:57.69 embracing the fact that, yes, we're behind that. 00:35:57.69\00:36:00.32 In a publication known as the Catholic Reporter that was 00:36:01.96\00:36:06.19 published in 1923 in the city of Toronto, Canada, there's an 00:36:06.19\00:36:10.23 article there, official Catholic publication, in which 00:36:10.23\00:36:13.40 it is stated, the observance of Sunday instead of Saturday is 00:36:13.40\00:36:20.14 an absolutely definitive mark. 00:36:20.14\00:36:23.81 Keyword there, mark of the authority of the Catholic 00:36:24.41\00:36:29.35 Church. 00:36:29.35\00:36:30.05 Sunday, they point to as the mark of their authority. 00:36:35.92\00:36:42.10 Hence the reason why legislating Sunday as a day of 00:36:43.03\00:36:50.67 rest is spoken of in the book of Revelation as the mark of 00:36:50.67\00:36:56.88 the beast, the mark of this power's authority. 00:36:56.88\00:37:02.08 Are you following friends? 00:37:02.32\00:37:03.89 And this lie is being advanced even now. 00:37:04.75\00:37:08.76 Friends, you've heard about the 2025 agenda. 00:37:09.16\00:37:11.46 I know you've heard of these things and how it's codified 00:37:11.63\00:37:14.36 right in there that there is an agenda to make Sunday an 00:37:14.36\00:37:18.37 official day of rest here in the United States of America. 00:37:18.37\00:37:21.44 And friends, whatever happens in America, America sneezes, 00:37:21.80\00:37:24.77 the rest of the world gets COVID. 00:37:24.77\00:37:26.01 Are you getting the point right now? 00:37:26.04\00:37:27.31 It's the way it works. 00:37:29.24\00:37:30.41 And so, immortality of the soul and so-called Sunday sacredness 00:37:33.38\00:37:38.75 are two of the kindred deceptions that are going to be 00:37:38.75\00:37:43.12 sweeping the world, and it's happening even now. 00:37:43.12\00:37:46.73 Which brings us now to the false prophet. 00:37:48.93\00:37:50.97 Go with me, if you will, to the book of Revelation chapter 19, 00:37:52.37\00:37:58.07 and we're going to look at verse 20. 00:37:58.27\00:38:00.78 In Revelation chapter 19, looking at verse 20, the Bible 00:38:01.31\00:38:05.28 has this to say pertaining to the false prophet. 00:38:05.28\00:38:08.32 If you're there in your Bibles, just let me know by saying 00:38:08.38\00:38:10.59 amen. 00:38:10.59\00:38:15.19 prophet, which worked miracles before him, hold on to that, 00:38:15.19\00:38:18.99 which worked miracles before him, have mercy, with which he 00:38:19.19\00:38:27.44 deceived them that received the mark of the beast and them that 00:38:27.44\00:38:32.61 worshiped his image. 00:38:32.61\00:38:33.91 The word of God informs us that the false prophet will be 00:38:34.81\00:38:39.45 responsible for working miracles before the beast, and 00:38:39.45\00:38:45.09 these miracles that performed through the false prophet will 00:38:45.09\00:38:49.39 lead people to pay homage, to give worship to the beast as 00:38:49.39\00:38:55.56 well as its image. 00:38:55.56\00:38:56.90 And when we look in the scriptures, the word of God 00:38:58.43\00:39:01.74 informs us that there is a particular region in our world 00:39:01.74\00:39:05.31 out of which the false prophet will carry out in a very 00:39:05.31\00:39:10.48 prominent sense. 00:39:10.48\00:39:11.58 Go with me to Revelation chapter 13. 00:39:12.81\00:39:14.68 In Revelation the 13th chapter, and we're going to start at 00:39:16.22\00:39:20.56 verse 11, the word of God tells us, and I beheld another beast 00:39:20.56\00:39:24.63 coming up out of the earth. 00:39:24.63\00:39:26.29 What are we looking at? 00:39:26.49\00:39:27.30 A political power. 00:39:27.36\00:39:28.16 Are we together right now? 00:39:28.23\00:39:29.36 Coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, 00:39:29.80\00:39:32.53 but what did it do next? 00:39:33.17\00:39:34.47 And it spake as a dragon. 00:39:35.17\00:39:37.14 We know that a beast in Bible prophecy is a symbol of a 00:39:37.41\00:39:40.98 kingdom, but this kingdom comes up in a desk, comes up, let's 00:39:40.98\00:39:46.11 say, in a vicinity that is distinctly different from the 00:39:46.11\00:39:49.28 first beast that we've looked at this evening, because that 00:39:49.28\00:39:52.09 first beast, the Roman Catholic Church, we saw that 00:39:52.09\00:39:55.12 prophetically it came up out of the sea, and in Revelation 17 00:39:55.12\00:39:59.86 and verse 15 we're informed that the sea is a symbol of 00:39:59.86\00:40:04.40 peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues, so that's a power 00:40:04.40\00:40:08.37 that rose up in a highly populated area. 00:40:08.37\00:40:10.71 Are you following with me? 00:40:10.97\00:40:12.11 But the earth must be the distinct opposite of that, so 00:40:12.74\00:40:16.01 this is a political power, a government, a nation, if you 00:40:16.01\00:40:19.01 will, that's rising up in a populated place on the face of 00:40:19.01\00:40:23.45 planet earth, and as it rises into existence in its infancy, 00:40:23.45\00:40:28.39 the word of God tells us that it has two horns like a lamb. 00:40:28.66\00:40:33.16 Are you following? 00:40:33.63\00:40:34.46 Okay, good. 00:40:35.60\00:40:36.20 Now horns in the Bible are a symbol of power. 00:40:36.83\00:40:39.70 What are horns a symbol of? 00:40:39.90\00:40:41.14 Habakkuk 3 and verse 4 tells us this. 00:40:41.74\00:40:43.64 His brightness was as the light. 00:40:43.87\00:40:45.37 He had horns coming out of his hand, and therein was the 00:40:45.51\00:40:48.54 hiding of his power. 00:40:48.54\00:40:49.84 Horns are a symbol of what? 00:40:50.48\00:40:51.68 Power, good, and these powers, I say powers because there's 00:40:52.15\00:40:56.08 two horns, these powers connected to this government, 00:40:56.08\00:41:01.12 this nation, this kingdom, the word of God says they would be 00:41:01.26\00:41:04.13 lamb -like. 00:41:04.13\00:41:04.73 Now there is only one sovereign lamb, if you will, that is 00:41:05.59\00:41:09.36 spoken of in the scriptures, the great lamb of Bible 00:41:09.36\00:41:11.70 prophecy is none other than Jesus Christ himself. 00:41:11.70\00:41:14.64 In John chapter 1 and verse 29, the word of God tells us that 00:41:16.20\00:41:19.94 John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus, was baptizing and he saw 00:41:19.94\00:41:23.58 his cousin Jesus in the distance and he said, Behold 00:41:23.58\00:41:26.21 the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. 00:41:26.21\00:41:29.65 So the lamb is a symbol of Christ letting us know that 00:41:29.92\00:41:33.46 this nation, as it would come into prominence, it would 00:41:33.46\00:41:36.02 profess to be a Christian nation. 00:41:36.02\00:41:38.33 Are you following friends? 00:41:38.86\00:41:40.00 And for the sake of time, because my time is limited, the 00:41:41.40\00:41:44.07 two powers that are united to this power, this kingdom, that 00:41:44.07\00:41:50.24 would aid it in advancing its so-called, not so-called, but 00:41:50.24\00:41:54.74 its Christian tenets, at least from its inception, would be 00:41:54.74\00:41:59.48 power number one, republicanism, a government of 00:41:59.48\00:42:02.45 the people, by the people, and for the people, and 00:42:02.45\00:42:06.22 Protestantism. 00:42:06.22\00:42:10.26 that it would advance that we should be able to worship the 00:42:10.26\00:42:13.16 Lord our God according to the dictates of our conscience. 00:42:13.16\00:42:15.93 Moreover, they would protest against any power that would 00:42:16.23\00:42:19.50 seek to oppress the consciences of men, specifically speaking 00:42:19.50\00:42:22.87 the Roman Catholic Church. 00:42:22.87\00:42:24.71 Protestants protested against the Roman power. 00:42:25.24\00:42:28.31 Are you following friends? 00:42:28.41\00:42:29.64 But ultimately, this nation, which is none other than the 00:42:30.48\00:42:34.45 United States of America, it would be removed from these 00:42:34.45\00:42:39.15 Christian tenets. 00:42:39.15\00:42:39.99 It would back away from its government. 00:42:40.26\00:42:43.76 It would begin to have mercy, Lord. 00:42:43.96\00:42:46.03 It would begin to make changes in its constitution. 00:42:46.43\00:42:49.73 It would give up its protest. 00:42:50.00\00:42:52.00 It would start putting prominent Catholics in its 00:42:53.47\00:42:57.44 Supreme Court. 00:42:57.44\00:42:58.37 It would start putting prominent Catholics in all 00:42:59.41\00:43:02.14 types of influential positions. 00:43:02.14\00:43:04.05 Matter of fact, it would bring the very figurehead of the 00:43:04.21\00:43:06.85 Catholic Church, the head of the Church, the Pope, to stand 00:43:06.85\00:43:09.65 in the very to stand in the very Capitol building to 00:43:09.65\00:43:15.69 address the 00:43:15.69\00:43:16.59 the representatives of this nation. 00:43:19.73\00:43:21.40 The Word of God says, but one day this nation will turn its 00:43:23.10\00:43:27.04 back on the lamb who is Jesus, whom is the truth, and begin to 00:43:27.04\00:43:34.51 speak like the dragon. 00:43:34.51\00:43:35.88 That means there has to be a change in our core values. 00:43:36.01\00:43:40.02 Remember, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth 00:43:40.32\00:43:43.72 speaketh. 00:43:43.72\00:43:44.52 Friends, if one steps away from the truth into error, there's a 00:43:46.29\00:43:50.76 word for that, apostasy. 00:43:50.76\00:43:52.49 Amen. 00:43:52.49\00:43:53.43 And that is where we get that the false prophet is apostate 00:43:54.76\00:43:59.07 Protestantism. 00:43:59.07\00:44:00.17 Are you following with me? 00:44:00.37\00:44:01.97 And the Word of God tells us that as this apostasy takes 00:44:03.04\00:44:07.28 place, look at verse 12. 00:44:07.28\00:44:09.11 It says that this nation, our nation, the United States of 00:44:09.48\00:44:13.11 America, it says that he will exercise all the power of the 00:44:13.11\00:44:16.69 first beast before him, which was the into one, and it will 00:44:16.69\00:44:26.93 cause the earth and then would dwell therein to worship the 00:44:26.93\00:44:30.63 first beast whose deadly wound was healed. 00:44:30.63\00:44:33.54 Friends, this can only be accomplished when this nation 00:44:34.20\00:44:39.21 unites the powers of church and state, and under the influence 00:44:39.21\00:44:43.75 of the Church guiding the direction of state, there will 00:44:43.75\00:44:47.52 be an enforcing of Sunday worship. 00:44:47.52\00:44:50.65 And people think, oh, this stuff could never happen. 00:44:52.42\00:44:54.59 In the year 2020 and 2021, a friend of mine made a way for 00:44:55.06\00:45:00.56 me to attend some meetings that were called the Reawaken 00:45:00.56\00:45:03.90 America Tour. 00:45:03.90\00:45:04.83 It's a Christian nationalist tour. 00:45:05.57\00:45:07.07 Thousands of people would come to each stop of this tour, and 00:45:07.90\00:45:11.47 individuals like Eric Trump, Michael Flynn, General Michael 00:45:11.47\00:45:16.38 Flynn, Cash Patel, who's now over our FBI, individuals like 00:45:16.38\00:45:22.25 this, Mike Lindell, all of these people were gathered 00:45:22.25\00:45:25.99 there, and I was there as media, so I had opportunity to 00:45:25.99\00:45:32.33 sit down with a host of these individuals and do interviews 00:45:32.33\00:45:36.93 with them on camera. 00:45:36.93\00:45:38.13 And each time I interacted with them, I always made sure I put 00:45:38.60\00:45:41.34 a great controversy in their hand so they could know what 00:45:41.34\00:45:44.77 they need to know. 00:45:44.77\00:45:45.77 But in my interactions with them, I always made sure at the 00:45:47.74\00:45:52.18 end of these interviews that I would ask them a question 00:45:52.18\00:45:54.75 pertaining to the union of church and state because 00:45:54.75\00:45:57.15 there's nothing like hearing it from the horse's mouth. 00:45:57.15\00:45:59.62 And so I would ask them the question, do you think that 00:46:00.42\00:46:03.26 this whole issue of the union of church and state, people are 00:46:03.26\00:46:06.33 making a big deal out of it and it's really nothing to worry 00:46:06.33\00:46:09.33 about? 00:46:09.33\00:46:11.63 Is that the way that our country really should go? 00:46:11.77\00:46:13.74 And without fail, every one of these individuals that I talked 00:46:13.90\00:46:17.97 to said we should have a union of church and state and the 00:46:17.97\00:46:22.44 church should be leading the direction of the state. 00:46:22.44\00:46:24.48 I have it on camera. 00:46:24.51\00:46:25.85 Are you following, friends? 00:46:29.48\00:46:31.02 The word of God is fulfilling even now. 00:46:31.92\00:46:35.26 The only reason we have seen the magnitude of the crisis 00:46:35.82\00:46:39.79 that is delineated in prophetic language in the book of 00:46:39.79\00:46:42.66 Revelation is because Jesus, in his love and in his mercy, is 00:46:42.66\00:46:46.50 pleading his blood over us and saying, Father, hold the winds, 00:46:46.50\00:46:50.61 my children are not ready. 00:46:50.74\00:46:52.14 But the work of the false prophet is going forward even 00:47:01.18\00:47:05.19 now. 00:47:05.19\00:47:10.39 paragraph 1, when the leading churches of the United States 00:47:10.63\00:47:13.33 of America unite upon such points of doctrine as are held 00:47:13.33\00:47:16.80 by them in common to influence the state, to make their 00:47:16.80\00:47:21.00 decrees and sustain their institutions, then, then will 00:47:21.00\00:47:25.37 Protestant America have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy 00:47:25.37\00:47:29.01 and the infliction of will inevitably result. 00:47:29.01\00:47:35.72 It is happening, friends. 00:47:36.99\00:47:38.42 We praise the Lord that He has stationed His four angels at 00:47:39.82\00:47:43.09 the four corners of this earth, saying, Hurt not the earth, 00:47:43.09\00:47:46.26 neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the 00:47:46.53\00:47:50.40 servants of our God in their foreheads. 00:47:50.40\00:47:53.54 We serve a loving God. 00:47:54.54\00:47:56.10 But God is making us aware of these very aggressive, demonic 00:47:57.07\00:48:04.01 deceptions because He does not want us to be disinclined. 00:48:04.01\00:48:08.35 In Matthew 24, in verse 4, will you open your Bibles there with 00:48:09.58\00:48:12.69 me as I'm coming to a close. 00:48:12.69\00:48:13.99 In Matthew 24, in verse 4, when He was asked by His disciples, 00:48:14.46\00:48:19.26 Father, Jesus, when will the destruction of Jerusalem take 00:48:19.83\00:48:22.96 place? 00:48:22.96\00:48:23.23 When will Your coming be? 00:48:23.70\00:48:24.73 What shall be the signs at the end of the world? 00:48:24.73\00:48:26.74 Tell us! 00:48:27.00\00:48:27.34 Tell us! 00:48:27.50\00:48:27.74 Tell us! 00:48:27.80\00:48:32.54 man deceive you. 00:48:32.54\00:48:33.58 For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ. 00:48:34.88\00:48:38.28 And they're not just going to deceive a few. 00:48:38.81\00:48:40.45 They're going to deceive many. 00:48:41.22\00:48:42.92 Look with me again. 00:48:43.72\00:48:44.82 We're looking at Matthew chapter 24, and we're still 00:48:44.82\00:48:47.56 there. 00:48:47.56\00:48:48.09 Look at verse 24 with me. 00:48:48.19\00:48:49.09 If you're there in your Bible, say amen. 00:48:49.09\00:48:49.12 In Matthew 24, looking at verse 24, Jesus says, Mercy, for 00:48:51.29\00:48:57.50 there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, showing 00:48:57.50\00:49:01.47 great signs and wonders that if it were possible, they will 00:49:01.47\00:49:06.34 deceive the very elect. 00:49:06.34\00:49:07.68 I'm so thankful that the Scripture says if it were 00:49:08.44\00:49:13.42 possible. 00:49:13.42\00:49:13.88 The very fact that that statement, if it were possible, 00:49:14.55\00:49:18.19 is introduced in that Scripture, informs us it won't 00:49:18.49\00:49:21.46 be possible. 00:49:21.46\00:49:22.16 Friends, the only way that we will be able to withstand what 00:49:26.26\00:49:33.94 is coming is not by us just sitting down and studying the 00:49:33.94\00:49:37.41 Scriptures and saying, okay, I know immortality, so check 00:49:37.41\00:49:39.67 Jesus when He comes a second time. 00:49:39.67\00:49:41.28 His feet won't touch the ground. 00:49:41.38\00:49:42.54 Check. 00:49:42.81\00:49:43.08 No, friends. 00:49:43.91\00:49:44.95 It's not just a theory of truth that's going to keep us from 00:49:45.78\00:49:49.42 this deception or these deceptions. 00:49:49.42\00:49:51.65 We're going to need something more that is totally of a 00:49:51.75\00:49:54.89 divine nature. 00:49:54.89\00:49:55.76 The only ones that will be able to stand will be the elect. 00:49:58.63\00:50:02.03 We want to be amongst the elect. 00:50:03.57\00:50:06.87 What does it mean to be numbered with the elect? 00:50:09.17\00:50:12.41 Go with me, Romans, Romans chapter 8. 00:50:13.54\00:50:15.88 In Romans chapter 8, Romans the 8th chapter, looking with me at 00:50:16.81\00:50:23.55 verse 33, the Bible says, who shall lay anything to the 00:50:23.55\00:50:29.96 charge of God's elect? 00:50:29.96\00:50:32.56 It is God that justifieth. 00:50:33.26\00:50:35.83 The elect are a people that are justified by God. 00:50:36.77\00:50:42.90 In other words, the elect are a people that God Himself says, 00:50:43.67\00:50:47.98 these are spotless. 00:50:48.41\00:50:50.55 These are clean. 00:50:50.55\00:50:52.85 They are pure. 00:50:53.25\00:50:54.62 They are holy. 00:50:55.02\00:50:56.25 They are mine. 00:50:56.65\00:50:58.19 And no matter what charge that the enemy, the devil himself, 00:50:58.85\00:51:02.76 may bring against us, no matter how much he may try to work to 00:51:02.86\00:51:08.13 bring back to our minds the transgressions that we 00:51:08.13\00:51:15.10 committed against God, the Lord says all these are forgiven. 00:51:15.10\00:51:19.84 These are mine. 00:51:19.84\00:51:21.48 I have chosen them. 00:51:22.14\00:51:23.38 They are mine. 00:51:23.41\00:51:24.85 And the reason why the elect can stand justified in the 00:51:28.48\00:51:34.06 presence of God is because of their faith in Jesus. 00:51:34.06\00:51:37.83 Because our Bibles tell us in Romans chapter 5 and verse 1, 00:51:39.53\00:51:44.10 therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God 00:51:44.63\00:51:50.27 through our Lord Jesus Christ. 00:51:50.27\00:51:53.07 The elect are a people that know all of our righteousness. 00:51:54.38\00:51:58.61 We must be a people that know that all of our righteousness 00:51:58.91\00:52:01.62 are nothing but filthy rags. 00:52:01.62\00:52:03.18 My best day is my worst day. 00:52:03.65\00:52:05.82 No good is in me. 00:52:07.76\00:52:09.12 Every human invention that I can come up with is nothing but 00:52:09.12\00:52:13.16 worthless in the sight of God. 00:52:13.16\00:52:14.36 I need Jesus. 00:52:14.40\00:52:15.63 So Lord, cover me. 00:52:16.40\00:52:17.80 I receive Jesus. 00:52:17.87\00:52:19.40 The elect are a people that look to Christ as the source of 00:52:20.90\00:52:24.34 their wisdom. 00:52:24.34\00:52:28.41 Where should I go? 00:52:29.34\00:52:30.28 How should I raise my children? 00:52:30.45\00:52:32.08 What woman should I marry? 00:52:32.41\00:52:33.68 What man should I stay away from? 00:52:33.78\00:52:35.32 Are you following, friends? 00:52:35.35\00:52:36.42 They look to Jesus as the source of their wisdom. 00:52:36.82\00:52:39.99 They don't depend on their good doing. 00:52:40.92\00:52:43.16 They look to Christ as the source of their righteousness. 00:52:43.16\00:52:46.83 They know they can't purify themselves. 00:52:48.50\00:52:50.33 They look to Jesus as the one that can sanctify them. 00:52:50.53\00:52:53.90 And so, day by day, they find themselves at the edges of 00:52:54.67\00:52:58.37 their bed. 00:52:58.37\00:53:02.28 or in their fields. 00:53:02.34\00:53:03.48 And they're praying, talking to Christ, asking Him, wash me, 00:53:03.68\00:53:07.78 cleanse me, Lord, make me more like Thee. 00:53:07.88\00:53:11.65 I need an experience that is far greater than that which I 00:53:11.65\00:53:15.32 possess now. 00:53:15.32\00:53:16.32 That's the experience that we need to be going through today 00:53:16.59\00:53:19.59 if we want to be a part of the elect. 00:53:19.59\00:53:21.33 They know that only Jesus, the Creator of all things, can 00:53:23.06\00:53:26.80 sanctify me. 00:53:26.80\00:53:28.00 And yes, He not only died to deliver me from the chains of 00:53:28.00\00:53:32.97 sin, but one day soon, I believe that even if I have to 00:53:32.97\00:53:39.15 lose possessions, even if I have to lose family and 00:53:39.15\00:53:43.08 friends, even if I lose my freedom, even if my life is 00:53:43.08\00:53:48.22 threatened, Jesus will come to redeem me. 00:53:48.22\00:53:51.46 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that He shall stand 00:53:51.66\00:53:54.96 at the latter day upon this earth. 00:53:54.96\00:53:56.63 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my 00:53:56.83\00:54:01.74 flesh, some way, somehow, by the grace of God, I will see 00:54:01.74\00:54:06.27 God. 00:54:06.27\00:54:06.94 That's the elect. 00:54:09.14\00:54:10.41 They have an unwavering faith in the fact that Jesus can do 00:54:11.21\00:54:15.18 and will do what He has promised. 00:54:15.18\00:54:17.09 And this faith isn't founded on feeling. 00:54:20.62\00:54:22.52 Feeling is worth nothing, friends. 00:54:22.66\00:54:24.39 This faith is founded on the inherent, infallible, pure Word 00:54:27.13\00:54:34.90 of God, because faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word 00:54:34.90\00:54:41.64 of God. 00:54:41.64\00:54:42.48 And it's not just some of the Word of God, because some of us 00:54:43.61\00:54:45.81 like to do the pick and choose thing with the Word of God. 00:54:45.81\00:54:47.88 I will follow this, but this one... 00:54:48.08\00:54:51.05 I'll keep this one. 00:54:53.09\00:54:54.12 Don't think we really need to focus on that day. 00:54:54.16\00:54:56.86 I'll follow this one, but whether I eat or drink, to 00:54:58.19\00:55:01.43 alter the glory of God, I'll eat what I want. 00:55:01.43\00:55:03.43 God doesn't really care about that, so pick and choose, 00:55:05.80\00:55:08.34 brothers and sisters. 00:55:08.54\00:55:12.41 relationship that we who are striving to be amongst the 00:55:12.41\00:55:15.71 elect can have. 00:55:15.71\00:55:16.68 Our relationship with the Word of God must be like that, that 00:55:18.51\00:55:21.32 was possessed by Jesus. 00:55:21.32\00:55:23.02 In Matthew chapter 4 and verse 4, when Jesus was contending 00:55:24.02\00:55:27.26 with Satan, he said, it is written, man shall not live by 00:55:27.26\00:55:30.96 bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the 00:55:30.96\00:55:35.76 mouth of God. 00:55:35.76\00:55:36.63 That is the type of life we will live by every word that 00:55:37.80\00:55:42.24 proceeds out of the mouth of God, because the just shall 00:55:42.24\00:55:47.78 live. 00:55:47.78\00:55:48.41 By faith, we serve a good God. 00:55:48.61\00:55:50.68 We serve an awesome God. 00:55:51.38\00:55:52.98 We serve an all-powerful God. 00:55:53.48\00:55:55.48 And if we yield our hearts to him, he will do a magnificent 00:55:56.15\00:56:01.62 work in our lives that will make us fit to endure the winds 00:56:01.62\00:56:05.73 of the crisis before us. 00:56:05.73\00:56:07.86 And so his promise to each and every one of us in Revelation 3 00:56:08.90\00:56:12.53 and verse 10 is this, because thou hast kept the word of my 00:56:12.53\00:56:16.47 promise, the word of my patience, I will also keep thee 00:56:16.47\00:56:20.91 from that hour of temptation, which is going to come upon all 00:56:20.91\00:56:25.75 the world to try them that dwell upon the face of the 00:56:25.75\00:56:29.42 earth, those who day by day make the word of God 00:56:29.42\00:56:36.62 the very cornerstone of their existence. 00:56:43.60\00:56:46.40 It is these that the Lord says, you built on the rock, so when 00:56:49.24\00:56:55.34 the winds blow and beat on your house, no worries, you will 00:56:55.34\00:57:00.78 stand firm. 00:57:00.78\00:57:01.58 Here is the patience of the Saints. 00:57:03.15\00:57:05.49 Here are they that keep the commandments of God and have 00:57:06.52\00:57:10.33 the faith of Jesus. 00:57:10.33\00:57:11.69 The question is, is that us? 00:57:12.13\00:57:14.83 Brothers and sisters, tonight, someone here hasn't given their 00:57:17.03\00:57:20.80 heart to Christ. 00:57:20.80\00:57:21.80 Someone here needs to rededicate their life to Jesus. 00:57:23.61\00:57:26.74 Someone watching needs to make a decision for the Savior. 00:57:27.34\00:57:30.28 And if the Spirit is pricking your heart, then you know it's 00:57:31.41\00:57:33.88 you. 00:57:33.88\00:57:34.38 If tonight you want to say, Lord, I recommit my life to 00:57:35.82\00:57:39.79 your service, I want to be amongst the elect, would you 00:57:39.79\00:57:43.76 raise your hand? 00:57:43.76\00:57:44.63 That's my first appeal, second appeal. 00:57:45.49\00:57:47.23 Forgive me, I'm going 10 seconds, Lord. 00:57:47.36\00:57:49.03
