REBELLION AND REDEMPTION

NOW THIS QUARTER'S
LESSON - OUR LESSON THIS QUARTER
00:09:00.57\00:09:05.34
IS GOING TO BE
DEALING WITH ONE OF THE GREAT
00:09:05.34\00:09:08.04
THEMES IN THE BIBLE. WHY
IS THERE SIN IN THE WORLD?
00:09:08.04\00:09:15.05
A QUESTION THAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE ASK IS: 'IF GOD IS
00:09:15.05\00:09:18.35
LOVE, AND IF GOD IS GOOD, AND
IF GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL, THEN WHY
00:09:18.35\00:09:24.09
DOES HE ALLOW THE
INNOCENT TO SUFFER?'
00:09:24.09\00:09:26.63
'WHY IS THERE SO MUCH
PAIN AND SUFFERING IN THE
00:09:26.63\00:09:28.56
WORLD?' AND,
'IF GOD IS LOVE, WHY
00:09:28.56\00:09:31.93
WOULD GOD MAKE A
DEVIL?' AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:09:31.93\00:09:35.44
ADDRESSING THAT IN NEXT
- NEXT QUARTER'S LESSON.
00:09:35.44\00:09:38.71
OUR LESSON TODAY IS
A CRISIS IN HEAVEN .
00:09:38.71\00:09:41.04
IT REALLY ALL STARTED IN HEAVEN.
00:09:41.04\00:09:42.98
AND WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE.
00:09:42.98\00:09:44.41
THE MEMORY VERSE IS FROM
REVELATION CHAPTER 7, VERSE 10.
00:09:44.41\00:09:48.58
IF YOU HAVE YOUR
QUARTERLIES WITH YOU, I
00:09:48.58\00:09:50.55
ENJOY IF YOU COULD
SAY THAT ALONG WITH ME.
00:09:50.55\00:09:53.22
REVELATION 7, VERSE
10, HERE WE GO, "AND CRYING
00:09:53.22\00:09:56.86
OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE
SAYING, 'SALVATION BELONGS
00:09:56.86\00:10:01.56
TO OUR GOD WHO SITS ON
THE THRONE AND TO THE LAMB."
00:10:01.56\00:10:06.30
VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:10:06.30\00:10:08.70
NOW, TO FIRST UNDERSTAND
THIS THEME, WHAT THE BIBLE
00:10:08.70\00:10:12.71
SAYS IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT ABOUT THE DEVIL IS
00:10:12.71\00:10:15.78
SOMETIMES A LITTLE
MORE CLOAKED IN MYSTERY THAN
00:10:15.78\00:10:18.25
SOME OF THE VERY DIRECT
STATEMENTS YOU'RE GOING TO
00:10:18.25\00:10:19.95
FIND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:10:19.95\00:10:21.72
BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE
THE STORY THERE, ALL THE WAY
00:10:21.72\00:10:24.42
BACK TO THE FIRST
BOOK IN THE BIBLE.
00:10:24.42\00:10:26.79
WHO KNOWS WHAT THE
FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE WAS
00:10:26.79\00:10:28.56
WRITTEN? WHAT
BOOK WAS IT? >>JOB.
00:10:28.56\00:10:31.09
>>JOB, YEAH. JOB
PREDATES EVEN GENESIS.
00:10:31.09\00:10:35.53
CHRONOLOGICALLY, OF COURSE,
YOU WOULD START WITH GENESIS.
00:10:35.53\00:10:38.77
BUT THE BOOK OF JOB
WAS PROBABLY THE FIRST BOOK
00:10:38.77\00:10:40.90
THAT MOSES WROTE AND IT
TALKS ABOUT THE DEVIL COMING AND
00:10:40.90\00:10:46.98
THERE'S A BATTLE - A CONTROVERSY
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL AND
00:10:46.98\00:10:50.55
IT'S PORTRAYED THERE.
WHY DON'T YOU TURN WITH
00:10:50.55\00:10:54.28
ME, FIRST, TO THE
BOOK OF ISAIAH, THOUGH.
00:10:54.28\00:10:56.82
ISAIAH CHAPTER 14, VERSE
4 - AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:10:56.82\00:11:02.42
READING SEVERAL VERSES
FROM ISAIAH CHAPTER 14 -
00:11:02.42\00:11:05.36
ISAIAH 14, VERSE 4 - ONE
OF THE BIG STATEMENTS THAT
00:11:05.36\00:11:09.03
TALKS ABOUT THE FALL OF
THE DEVIL OR THE FALL OF
00:11:09.03\00:11:11.57
LUCIFER - IT BEGINS WITH
AN INTERESTING STATEMENT.
00:11:11.57\00:11:15.27
IT SAYS, 'THAT YOU
WILL TAKE UP THIS PROVERB
00:11:15.27\00:11:18.34
AGAINST THE KING OF
BABYLON, AND SAY: - NOW
00:11:18.34\00:11:22.18
ISAIAH IS OFF IN
VISION. HE'S HAVING A PROVERB.
00:11:22.18\00:11:26.95
HE'S GIVING THIS
ORACLE ON THE KING OF BABYLON.
00:11:26.95\00:11:29.25
ALL OF A SUDDEN HE SAYS
SOMETHING LIKE, 'HOW YOU
00:11:29.25\00:11:31.95
ARE FALLEN, O LUCIFER,
SON OF THE MORNING.' - WHERE'D
00:11:31.95\00:11:36.62
LUCIFER COME FROM?
WHAT DOES THE KING OF
00:11:36.62\00:11:38.29
BABYLON HAVE TO DO WITH LUCIFER?
00:11:38.29\00:11:41.23
NOW TO UNDERSTAND THAT
- AND NOW SOMEBODY HERE'S
00:11:41.23\00:11:45.53
GOING TO READ A VERSE FOR
ME IN A MINUTE AND I THINK
00:11:45.53\00:11:47.54
YOUR VERSE IS GOING TO
BE DANIEL 10, VERSE 13,
00:11:47.54\00:11:50.21
BUT YOU'VE GOT A MINUTE.
00:11:50.21\00:11:51.04
I'M JUST GETTING
YOU A HEAD'S UP HERE.
00:11:51.04\00:11:53.51
IF YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE,
IN REVELATION 12, VERSES 3
00:11:53.51\00:11:58.05
AND 4, IT SAYS, "AND
ANOTHER SIGN APPEARED IN
00:11:58.05\00:12:01.45
HEAVEN: BEHOLD, A
GREAT, FIERY RED DRAGON HAVING
00:12:01.45\00:12:05.32
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN
HORNS, AND SEVEN DIADEMS ON HIS
00:12:05.32\00:12:08.52
HEADS. HIS TAIL DREW A THIRD OF
00:12:08.52\00:12:10.76
THE STARS OF HEAVEN AND
THREW THEM TO THE EARTH.
00:12:10.76\00:12:13.33
AND THE DRAGON STOOD
BEFORE THE WOMAN WHO WAS
00:12:13.33\00:12:15.13
READY TO GIVE BIRTH, TO
DEVOUR HER CHILD AS SOON
00:12:15.13\00:12:18.13
AS IT WAS BORN."
NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK
00:12:18.13\00:12:20.07
MORE ABOUT
REVELATION 12, BUT I JUST READ
00:12:20.07\00:12:21.77
THAT FOR A
REASON. WHO IS THE DRAGON?
00:12:21.77\00:12:28.24
FROM THE GARDEN OF
EDEN, IN THE BEGINNING, UNTIL
00:12:28.24\00:12:30.58
YOU GET TO REVELATION,
YOU'LL SEE THERE'S THIS
00:12:30.58\00:12:33.42
CONFLICT THAT GOES ON
BETWEEN THE WOMAN AND THE
00:12:33.42\00:12:37.89
SERPENT - OR THE DRAGON
- IN REVELATION 12 IT CALLS
00:12:37.89\00:12:40.42
HIM THE DEVIL, THE
DRAGON, THE SERPENT.
00:12:40.42\00:12:42.42
THERE'S NO QUESTION WHO HE IS.
00:12:42.42\00:12:44.16
AND THE WOMAN - BUT WHEN
THE DEVIL TRIED TO DESTROY
00:12:44.16\00:12:48.73
JESUS AS A BABY, WHAT
KINGDOM DID HE OPERATE THROUGH?
00:12:48.73\00:12:55.20
WHAT WAS THE NAME OF
THE WICKED KING THAT WANTED
00:12:55.20\00:12:56.60
ALL THE BABY
BOYS SLAIN? >>HEROD.
00:12:56.60\00:12:58.41
>>HEROD. WHAT
EMPIRE DID HE RULE UNDER?
00:12:58.41\00:13:01.04
ROME. AND SO THE DEVIL USES
00:13:01.04\00:13:05.08
KINGDOMS AND HE
OPERATES THROUGH KINGDOMS.
00:13:05.08\00:13:08.58
AND SO, WHEN ISAIAH
SAYS, 'TAKE UP THIS PROVERB
00:13:08.58\00:13:10.79
AGAINST THE KING OF
BABYLON' - THEN, WHILE HE
00:13:10.79\00:13:13.56
BEGINS TO TALK ABOUT
THE KING OF BABYLON, HE GOES
00:13:13.56\00:13:16.99
TO THE POWER BEHIND
THE KING OF BABYLON.
00:13:16.99\00:13:20.43
BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN THE WORLD, OFTENTIMES,
00:13:20.43\00:13:23.33
IS A BATTLE BETWEEN CHRIST
AND THE DEVIL, BUT THEY'RE
00:13:23.33\00:13:26.27
OPERATING THROUGH
THE POWERS OF THE WORLD.
00:13:26.27\00:13:29.24
THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO
IMPORTANT THAT THE NATION
00:13:29.24\00:13:31.04
OF ISRAEL BE THE POWER
IN THE WORLD THROUGH WHICH
00:13:31.04\00:13:33.68
GOD WOULD OPERATE.
BUT, IF YOU READ A LITTLE
00:13:33.68\00:13:36.91
FURTHER - FOR INSTANCE,
IF YOU GO TO ISAIAH CHAPTER
00:13:36.91\00:13:38.85
14, VERSE 12 - YOU TELL
ME IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT'S
00:13:38.85\00:13:42.92
TALKING ABOUT
THE KING OF BABYLON.
00:13:42.92\00:13:45.55
"HOW YOU ARE FALLEN FROM
HEAVEN, O LUCIFER, SON OF
00:13:45.55\00:13:48.12
THE MORNING!" - WAS THE KING OF
00:13:48.12\00:13:50.09
BABYLON EVER IN
HEAVEN? - "HOW YOU ARE CUT DOWN
00:13:50.09\00:13:53.16
TO THE GROUND, YOU
WHO WEAKENED THE NATIONS!
00:13:53.16\00:13:56.10
FOR YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR
HEART:" - NOW SOMEONE ONCE
00:13:56.10\00:13:58.27
SAID LUCIFER HAD I
TROUBLE - NOTICE: "I WILL ASCEND
00:13:58.27\00:14:02.60
INTO HEAVEN, I WILL
EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS
00:14:02.60\00:14:05.51
OF GOD; I WILL ALSO
SIT ON THE MOUNT OF THE
00:14:05.51\00:14:11.11
CONGREGATION ON THE
FARTHEST SIDES OF THE
00:14:11.11\00:14:13.08
NORTH; I WILL ASCEND
ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS,
00:14:13.08\00:14:16.45
I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH."
00:14:16.45\00:14:18.72
- WHAT WAS THE -
THE DESIRE OF THE DEVIL?
00:14:18.72\00:14:24.69
TO BE WORSHIPED
LIKE GOD. HE WANTED TO BE
00:14:24.69\00:14:26.96
LIKE THE MOST HIGH.
NOW, ONE OF THE GREAT
00:14:26.96\00:14:32.07
PROOFS THAT GOD MAKES
ALL OF HIS CREATURES FREE IS
00:14:32.07\00:14:35.44
THAT ONE COULD
CHOOSE NOT TO LOVE HIM.
00:14:35.44\00:14:39.21
IF GOD PRE-PROGRAMMED
HIS CREATURES - IF THEIR
00:14:39.21\00:14:41.64
TRANSISTORS CAME FROM
THE FACTORY WHERE THEY JUST
00:14:41.64\00:14:43.81
DID NOT POSSESS THE
CAPACITY TO NOT LOVE GOD
00:14:43.81\00:14:50.09
THEN, YOU KNOW, MAYBE
YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE HAD THIS
00:14:50.09\00:14:52.12
PROBLEM. BUT
BECAUSE GOD MADE ALL
00:14:52.12\00:14:54.26
OF HIS CREATURES FREE -
YOU SEE, YOU CAN'T FORCE LOVE.
00:14:54.26\00:14:57.09
IF GOD PRE-PROGRAMMED
ALL OF HIS CREATURES SAYING,
00:14:57.09\00:14:58.89
'YOU MUST LOVE ME.'
AND SOME PEOPLE PROBABLY
00:14:58.89\00:15:01.56
PREFER HE HAD DONE THAT, BUT
THAT WOULDN'T BE REALLY LOVE.
00:15:01.56\00:15:05.40
IF LOVE IS FORCED, IS IT LOVE?
00:15:05.40\00:15:07.94
IF IT'S MANIPULATED,
IF IT'S PRE-PROGRAMMED - I
00:15:07.94\00:15:11.74
USED TO DO AN ILLUSTRATION
WHERE I WOULD TAKE A TAPE
00:15:11.74\00:15:13.41
PLAYER AND IN THE TAPE
PLAYER I WOULD TALK ABOUT
00:15:13.41\00:15:16.38
HOW WONDERFUL I WAS AND
THEN I'D PLAY IT BACK TO
00:15:16.38\00:15:19.38
MYSELF AND I'D SAY,
'YOU KNOW, WHENEVER I'M
00:15:19.38\00:15:22.08
STRUGGLING WITH LOW
SELF-ESTEEM I JUST LISTEN
00:15:22.08\00:15:23.75
TO THIS AND IT
JUST PERKS ME RIGHT UP.
00:15:23.75\00:15:27.06
BUT WHEN YOU COMPLIMENT
YOURSELF, IT'S JUST NOT
00:15:27.06\00:15:30.29
THE SAME, IS IT?
00:15:30.29\00:15:33.03
I REMEMBER PAUL HARVEY -
ONE TIME KAREN AND I WENT
00:15:33.03\00:15:36.30
TO A PROGRAM WHERE PAUL
HARVEY, THE FAMOUS RADIO
00:15:36.30\00:15:38.77
BROADCASTER GAVE A
SPEECH AND, AFTER HE WAS
00:15:38.77\00:15:43.84
INTRODUCED BY GEORGE
VANDEMAN, HE SAID, THAT'S
00:15:43.84\00:15:46.84
THE THIRD-BEST
INTRODUCTION I'VE EVER
00:15:46.84\00:15:48.31
HAD.' AND, OF
COURSE, EVERYONE'S WONDERING
00:15:48.31\00:15:51.31
'WHY'D HE SAY THE THIRD BEST?'
00:15:51.31\00:15:53.28
HE SAID, 'THE SECOND-BEST
WAS ONCE MY MOTHER HAD
00:15:53.28\00:15:56.28
INTRODUCED ME BEFORE I SPOKE.
00:15:56.28\00:15:59.39
AND IN THE FIRST-BEST
WAS WHEN THE PERSON WHO WAS
00:15:59.39\00:16:01.82
SUPPOSED TO INTRODUCE
ME DIDN'T SHOW UP AND I HAD
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.76
TO INTRODUCE MYSELF' -
BECAUSE WE CAN THINK OF
00:16:03.76\00:16:09.20
WONDERFUL THINGS TO SAY.
BUT IT'S NOT SAME, IS IT?
00:16:09.20\00:16:13.57
YOU CAN'T FORCE LOVE AND
GOD MADE HIS CREATURES FREE.
00:16:13.57\00:16:16.54
AND THE VERY FACT THAT
LUCIFER REBELLED AND BEGAN
00:16:16.54\00:16:19.24
TO RESENT THAT HE
WASN'T GOD AND STARTED COVETING
00:16:19.24\00:16:21.28
GOD'S POSITION, SHOWS HE
HAD THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE
00:16:21.28\00:16:24.18
TO LOVE OUT OF HIMSELF, BUT
INSTEAD HE CHOSE TO LOVE IN.
00:16:24.18\00:16:30.05
YOU SEE, LOVE GOES ONE
OF TWO DIRECTIONS: IF THE
00:16:30.05\00:16:33.25
LOVE COMES FROM YOU
TO OTHERS, YOU LIVE.
00:16:33.25\00:16:37.69
IF YOU TURN THAT
COMPASS NEEDLE AROUND AND YOU
00:16:37.69\00:16:39.93
SPEND YOUR LIFE SUCKING
LOVE TO YOURSELF, YOU DIE.
00:16:39.93\00:16:44.47
THIS IS WHAT THE WHOLE
PLAN OF SALVATION - IT'S
00:16:44.47\00:16:46.07
EITHER SELF OR GOD -
GREAT COMMANDMENT: LOVE THE
00:16:46.07\00:16:49.20
LORD; LOVE YOUR
NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
00:16:49.20\00:16:51.17
THE WORLD TURNS IT
AROUND. LOVE YOURSELF AND IF
00:16:51.17\00:16:53.24
THERE'S SOMETHING LEFT
OVER, YOU SHARE IT WITH
00:16:53.24\00:16:55.58
GOD AND YOUR
NEIGHBOR. BUT THAT'S REVERSE
00:16:55.58\00:16:58.48
POLARITY AND IT JUST DOESN'T
WORK. WELL THE DEVIL, HE TURNED
00:16:58.48\00:17:02.78
IT AROUND SO THAT HE WAS
GOING TO LIVE FOR HIMSELF.
00:17:02.78\00:17:06.89
HE SAID, 'I WANT TO BE GOD.
00:17:06.89\00:17:08.19
I WANT TO BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH.
00:17:08.19\00:17:09.66
NOW, THIS IS ANOTHER
EXAMPLE - AND I'LL GIVE
00:17:09.66\00:17:13.76
YOU A FEW - WHERE YOU SEE
THESE BATTLES BETWEEN KINGDOMS.
00:17:13.76\00:17:16.43
WHAT DID NEBUCHADNEZZAR SAY?
00:17:16.43\00:17:18.17
IF YOU LOOK IN DANIEL
4:30 - DANIEL 4:30 - DO YOU
00:17:18.17\00:17:24.31
REMEMBER WHAT
NEBUCHADNEZZAR SAID BEFORE
00:17:24.31\00:17:25.37
HE LOST HIS MIND? >>I DID IT.
00:17:25.37\00:17:27.48
>>HE'S WALKING ON
THE PALACE - THE BALCONY
00:17:27.48\00:17:31.31
OVERLOOKING THE
PANORAMA OF THIS SPECTACULAR
00:17:31.31\00:17:34.28
KINGDOM - AND BABYLON
WAS A SPECTACULAR KINGDOM.
00:17:34.28\00:17:37.42
IT WAS - IT WAS ENORMOUS
- AND HE SAID, 'IS THIS NOT
00:17:37.42\00:17:42.36
GREAT BABYLON THAT I HAVE BUILT?
00:17:42.36\00:17:45.33
FOR A ROYAL DWELLING BY
MY MIGHTY POWER, FOR THE
00:17:45.33\00:17:47.96
HONOR OF MY MAJESTY?'
00:17:47.96\00:17:50.23
AND THEN GOD SAID, 'THE
KINGDOM IS DEPARTED FROM
00:17:50.23\00:17:53.40
YOU.' - BECAUSE HE
WAS FOCUSING INWARD.
00:17:53.40\00:17:56.77
HE BECAME A RAVING
LUNATIC - LIKE AN ANIMAL - FOR
00:17:56.77\00:17:59.34
SEVEN YEARS, UNTIL HE
REALIZED THE MOST HIGH
00:17:59.34\00:18:02.04
RULES IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN.
00:18:02.04\00:18:03.98
SO WHEN - WHEN
ISAIAH SAYS, 'TAKE UP THIS
00:18:03.98\00:18:06.68
PROVERB AGAINST THE KING
OF BABYLON' THAT HE WANTED
00:18:06.68\00:18:10.19
TO BE GOD, THAT WAS
ALSO TRUE OF THE EARTHLY KING
00:18:10.19\00:18:13.96
IN HIS HEART. BUT HE GOES BEYOND
THAT, TO THE POWER THAT THE
00:18:13.96\00:18:17.53
EARTHLY KING WAS REFLECTING.
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, READ
00:18:17.53\00:18:21.16
FOR ME DANIEL CHAPTER
10:13, I THINK IS NEXT.
00:18:21.16\00:18:25.97
>>"BUT THE PRINCE OF
THE KINGDOM OF PERSIA
00:18:25.97\00:18:28.87
WITHSTOOD ME TWENTY-ONE
DAYS; AND BEHOLD, MICHAEL,
00:18:28.87\00:18:33.27
ONE OF THE CHIEF PRINCES,
CAME TO HELP ME, FOR I HAD
00:18:33.27\00:18:36.88
BEEN LEFT ALONE THERE
WITH THE KINGS OF PERSIA."
00:18:36.88\00:18:40.78
>>SO DANIEL, IN
VISION, HE'S TALKING WITH THE
00:18:40.78\00:18:42.78
ANGEL AND THE ANGEL
GABRIEL SAID, 'YOU KNOW, I
00:18:42.78\00:18:47.16
KNOW GOD'S PEOPLE ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED.
00:18:47.16\00:18:48.96
AFTER SEVENTY YEARS
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GO HOME.
00:18:48.96\00:18:51.16
AND THERE IS A TITANIC BATTLE
RAGING RIGHT NOW BETWEEN - IT
00:18:51.16\00:18:55.93
TALKED ABOUT MICHAEL
AND THE PRINCE OF PERSIA.
00:18:55.93\00:18:58.10
WELL, THE KING OF PERSIA
LIKED THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
00:18:58.10\00:19:01.04
AND HE ENDED UP LETTING
THEM GO HOME AND HE GAVE
00:19:01.04\00:19:02.74
THEM THE MONEY AND
CYRUS DEFENDED THEM.
00:19:02.74\00:19:05.21
BUT THE DEVIL WAS
TRYING TO POSTPONE THAT.
00:19:05.21\00:19:09.38
THE DEVIL WAS TRYING TO
GET CYRUS' ADVISORS NOT TO
00:19:09.38\00:19:11.78
DO IT - 'THINK OF
THE PEOPLE YOU'LL LOSE.
00:19:11.78\00:19:14.45
THEY ARE YOUR
SERVANTS RIGHT NOW.
00:19:14.45\00:19:15.68
WHY WOULD YOU LET
THEM GO? AND THEN MICHAEL
00:19:15.68\00:19:17.92
- MICHAEL IS WHO? >>JESUS.
00:19:17.92\00:19:19.92
>>MICHAEL'S A TERM
THAT'S OFTEN A SYMBOLIC TERM FOR
00:19:19.92\00:19:22.06
CHRIST PRIOR TO HIS INCARNATION.
00:19:22.06\00:19:24.69
HE'S STRIVING WITH
THE KING OF PERSIA.
00:19:24.69\00:19:26.80
THIS IS PULLING ASIDE
THE VEIL AND IT'S SHOWING A
00:19:26.80\00:19:28.96
BATTLE BETWEEN NOT
GABRIEL AND ONE OF THE DEVIL'S
00:19:28.96\00:19:32.80
FALLEN ANGELS, IT'S
SHOWING A BATTLE BETWEEN
00:19:32.80\00:19:34.97
CHRIST AND SATAN.
JUST LIKE YOU HAVE THAT
00:19:34.97\00:19:37.67
BATTLE IN THE BOOK
OF JOB TAKING PLACE.
00:19:37.67\00:19:40.64
AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT
PLAYING OUT IN THE BOOK OF
00:19:40.64\00:19:44.98
REVELATION HERE IN A MINUTE.
00:19:44.98\00:19:46.61
AND SO, NOW, IF YOU GO
ALSO TO EZEKIEL, YOU'LL
00:19:46.61\00:19:49.88
SEE THE SAME
BATTLE. GO TO EZEKIEL
00:19:49.88\00:19:51.42
28 - EZEKIEL 28.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:19:51.42\00:19:54.19
READING SOME OF THIS SO
YOU'LL WANT TO JUMP THERE.
00:19:54.19\00:20:00.00
AND YOU CAN READ, FOR
INSTANCE, IN VERSES 1 AND
00:20:00.00\00:20:02.26
2: "THE WORD OF THE LORD
CAME TO ME AGAIN, SAYING,
00:20:02.26\00:20:05.77
'SON OF MAN, SAY TO THE
PRINCE OF TYRE, 'THUS SAYS
00:20:05.77\00:20:08.97
THE LORD GOD: 'BECAUSE
YOUR HEART IS LIFTED UP,
00:20:08.97\00:20:12.27
AND YOU SAY, 'I AM A
GOD, I SIT IN THE SEAT OF GODS
00:20:12.27\00:20:15.74
IN THE MIDST OF THE
SEAS,''''" - NOW, RIGHT
00:20:15.74\00:20:18.91
THERE, IT TELLS YOU THAT
HE'S GOT THE SAME SPIRIT.
00:20:18.91\00:20:22.58
YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE
BATTLE IS ABOUT WHO YOU WORSHIP.
00:20:22.58\00:20:25.65
WILL YOU WORSHIP
YOURSELF AS GOD OR IS GOD, GOD?
00:20:25.65\00:20:27.86
AND SO THIS IS WHAT WAS
HAPPENING - KING OF TYRE -
00:20:27.86\00:20:29.36
BUT THEN YOU READ ON
AND YOU GO, FOR INSTANCE, IN
00:20:29.36\00:20:32.33
VERSE 11 - AND,
LISTEN, YOU TELL ME IF IT'S
00:20:32.33\00:20:34.60
TALKING ABOUT THE KING
OF TYRE: "MOREOVER THE WORD
00:20:34.60\00:20:38.73
OF THE LORD CAME TO ME,
SAYING, 'SON OF MAN, TAKE
00:20:38.73\00:20:40.87
UP A LAMENTATION FOR
THE KING OF TYRE, AND SAY TO
00:20:40.87\00:20:43.94
HIM, 'THUS SAYS THE LORD
GOD: 'YOU WERE THE SEAL OF
00:20:43.94\00:20:47.68
PERFECTION,'''" - YOU
WERE THE SEAL - IT'S PAST TENSE
00:20:47.68\00:20:51.08
- "'''THE SEAL OF
PERFECTION, FULL OF WISDOM
00:20:51.08\00:20:52.58
AND PERFECT IN
BEAUTY.'''" - WAS HE PERFECT IN
00:20:52.58\00:20:54.45
BEAUTY? - "'''...EVERY PRECIOUS
00:20:54.45\00:20:57.65
- YOU WERE IN EDEN, THE
GARDEN OF GOD;'''" - WAS
00:20:57.65\00:21:00.36
THE KING OF TYRE
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:21:00.36\00:21:03.26
HE'S TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE.
00:21:03.26\00:21:04.69
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE
POWER BEHIND THE KING OF
00:21:04.69\00:21:06.63
TYRE - "'''EVERY PRECIOUS
STONE WAS YOUR COVERING:
00:21:06.63\00:21:10.47
THE SARDIUS, TOPAZ, AND
DIAMOND, BERYL, ONYX, AND
00:21:10.47\00:21:14.04
JASPER, SAPPHIRE, TURQUOISE,
AND EMERALD WITH GOLD.
00:21:14.04\00:21:17.61
THE WORKMANSHIP OF
YOUR TIMBRELS AND PIPES WAS
00:21:17.61\00:21:20.51
PREPARED FOR YOU ON THE
DAY YOU WERE CREATED.'''"
00:21:20.51\00:21:23.08
- NOW THAT'S A CLUE RIGHT THERE.
00:21:23.08\00:21:24.88
HE'S IN EDEN, BEAUTIFUL
MUSICAL VOICE, HE WAS NOT
00:21:24.88\00:21:30.22
BORN - CREATED. NOW
THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE
00:21:30.22\00:21:34.76
OF PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD THAT WERE CREATED.
00:21:34.76\00:21:36.73
ONE WAS ADAM, THE OTHER WAS EVE.
00:21:36.73\00:21:38.79
EVERYONE ELSE WAS BORN.
BUT LUCIFER WAS NOT BORN.
00:21:38.79\00:21:42.13
ANGELS DO NOT MARRY,
NEITHER ARE THEY GIVEN IN
00:21:42.13\00:21:44.73
MARRIAGE. ANGELS ARE CREATED
MINISTERING SPIRITS OF GOD.
00:21:44.73\00:21:48.77
AND SO HERE IT'S GIVING
US A CLUE THAT IT'S LOOKING
00:21:48.77\00:21:51.57
AT THE POWER BEHIND THE
KING OF TYRE. YOU SEE THAT?
00:21:51.57\00:21:56.61
"'''...ON THE
DAY YOU WERE CREATED.
00:21:56.61\00:21:58.45
YOU WERE THE ANOINTED
CHERUB WHO COVERS;'''" -
00:21:58.45\00:22:01.22
NOW IS IT PRETTY CLEAR
WHO HE'S TALKING ABOUT?
00:22:01.22\00:22:04.19
- "'''I ESTABLISHED
YOU; YOU WERE ON THE HOLY
00:22:04.19\00:22:06.62
MOUNTAIN OF GOD; YOU
WALKED BACK AND FORTH
00:22:06.62\00:22:08.46
IN THE THE MIDST
OF THE FIERY STONES.
00:22:08.46\00:22:11.59
YOU WERE PERFECT IN YOUR
WAYS FROM THE DAY YOU WERE
00:22:11.59\00:22:14.00
CREATED, TILL INIQUITY
WAS FOUND IN YOU.'''" NOW THIS
00:22:14.00\00:22:17.70
IS - THIS IS A VERY,
VERY IMPORTANT POINT - WAS
00:22:17.70\00:22:22.80
THERE SOME DEFECT IN LUCIFER?
00:22:22.80\00:22:25.74
I MEAN, WHY DID LUCIFER
FALL AND GABRIEL DIDN'T?
00:22:25.74\00:22:29.18
OBVIOUSLY, THERE
WAS A FACTORY FLAW.
00:22:29.18\00:22:32.71
THIS IS A QUESTION
EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW. WHY?
00:22:32.71\00:22:36.18
DID GOD MAKE A
MISTAKE WHEN HE MADE LUCIFER?
00:22:36.18\00:22:38.19
>>NO. >>OR DID HE MAKE HIM FREE?
00:22:38.19\00:22:40.82
WHY DOES A PARENT - THEY
HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND ONE
00:22:40.82\00:22:43.12
LOVES THE LORD AND ONE DOESN'T?
ONE'S A CAIN AND ONE'S AN ABEL?
00:22:43.12\00:22:46.76
>>FREE CHOICE.
>>THEY - WELL, SOME OF IT IS
00:22:46.76\00:22:48.73
GOING TO BE CIRCUMSTANCES
THAT MAY COME INTO THEIR LIFE.
00:22:48.73\00:22:51.53
WHAT THEY DO WITH THE
CIRCUMSTANCES - THEY GET
00:22:51.53\00:22:53.67
TO CHOOSE EVERY DAY
HOW YOU RESPOND TO THE
00:22:53.67\00:22:55.77
CIRCUMSTANCES.
HOW YOU RESPOND TO THE
00:22:55.77\00:22:57.87
VOICES AND THE
TEACHINGS AND THINGS YOU HEAR.
00:22:57.87\00:23:00.68
YOU GET TO SIFT AND SORT
AND YOU, THROUGH YOUR WILL
00:23:00.68\00:23:03.01
AND YOUR CHOICES,
BECOME WHO YOU ARE.
00:23:03.01\00:23:07.35
AND LUCIFER BEGAN TO
RESENT - IT'S A MYSTERY
00:23:07.35\00:23:10.32
HOW THOSE SEEDS OF SIN
FIRST SPROUTED, BUT THEY
00:23:10.32\00:23:12.55
GERMINATED IN HIS
HEART. HE SAW THE OTHER ANGELS
00:23:12.55\00:23:15.39
WORSHIPING GOD AND HE
HAD THE THOUGHT, 'I WONDER
00:23:15.39\00:23:18.16
WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE TO BE
GOD?' AND HE BEGAN NURTURING -
00:23:18.16\00:23:21.90
'HOW COME I'M NOT GOD? I
WONDER IF I COULD EVER BE GOD?'
00:23:21.90\00:23:26.57
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE CREATION
TO OVERTHROW THE CREATOR?
00:23:26.57\00:23:30.51
WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF
CRAZY THINGS HE WAS THINKING?
00:23:30.51\00:23:33.01
BUT HE BEGAN TO TALK
HIMSELF INTO THINKING HE
00:23:33.01\00:23:35.38
COULD INCITE A
REBELLION AND TAKE GOD'S PLACE.
00:23:35.38\00:23:38.08
NOW YOU AND I, IT'S
HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT
00:23:38.08\00:23:40.38
HOW MUCH MORE
POWERFUL WOULD YOU THINK GOD IS
00:23:40.38\00:23:44.29
THAN THE DEVIL? BUT AT THE SAME
TIME, DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HOW
00:23:44.29\00:23:49.76
MUCH MORE POWERFUL THE DEVIL
IS. NOW, DOES THE BIBLE SAY THE
00:23:49.76\00:23:54.10
DEVIL WAS AN ANGEL? ARE
ANGELS MORE POWERFUL THAN
00:23:54.10\00:23:58.57
HUMANS? >>YES.
00:23:58.57\00:24:00.30
>>THEY'RE EXCEEDINGLY
MORE POWERFUL THAN HUMANS.
00:24:00.30\00:24:03.04
ONE ANGEL - WASN'T
LUCIFER - ONE ANGEL DESTROYED
00:24:03.04\00:24:06.14
185,000 ASSYRIAN
SOLDIERS IN ONE DAY.
00:24:06.14\00:24:10.35
AND ANOTHER ANGEL,
WHEN ISRAEL WAS NUMBERED,
00:24:10.35\00:24:12.78
DESTROYED THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE IN ISRAEL.
00:24:12.78\00:24:16.18
ONE ANGEL THREW AWAY THE
STONE THAT COVERED THE TOMB.
00:24:16.18\00:24:19.65
NOW THESE ARE NOT
THE CHIEF ANGELS, SO HOW
00:24:19.65\00:24:22.46
POWERFUL - IF LUCIFER WAS
THE MOST POWERFUL CREATURE
00:24:22.46\00:24:26.46
THAT GOD MADE, HOW POWERFUL
IS HE? WHEN HE GOES FROM THE
00:24:26.46\00:24:30.20
PRESENCE OF GOD - CAN
LUCIFER BRING FIRE DOWN
00:24:30.20\00:24:33.70
FROM HEAVEN TO DESTROY
ALL OF THE POSSESSIONS OF JOB?
00:24:33.70\00:24:37.97
CAN HE CREATE A TORNADO
TO KNOCK DOWN THE HOUSE HIS
00:24:37.97\00:24:40.91
CHILDREN ARE IN
AND KILL THEM ALL?
00:24:40.91\00:24:43.85
WE UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF LUCIFER.
00:24:43.85\00:24:47.32
AND SO HE ACTUALLY
CONVINCED HIMSELF, 'MAYBE
00:24:47.32\00:24:50.89
I AM POWERFUL ENOUGH
WHERE I AND THE ANGELS CAN
00:24:50.89\00:24:54.49
OVERTHROW GOD.' I KNOW
IT SEEMS CRAZY TO YOU AND I,
00:24:54.49\00:24:56.93
BUT SIN'LL MAKE THAT - SIN'LL DO
THAT TO YOU. AND SO IT'S TELLING
00:24:56.93\00:25:01.86
US ABOUT THE DESIRE
OF THE DEVIL BEHIND.
00:25:01.86\00:25:04.33
IN THE BOOK PATRIARCHS
AND PROPHETS YOU CAN READ ON
00:25:04.33\00:25:06.87
PAGE 35, "LITTLE BY
LITTLE LUCIFER CAME TO INDULGE
00:25:06.87\00:25:12.54
THE DESIRE FOR SELF-EXALTATION."
00:25:12.54\00:25:15.64
HE BEGAN TO WANT TO BE
GOD AND WANT THAT POSITION.
00:25:15.64\00:25:19.48
ALRIGHT, NOW WE'RE GOING
TO GO TO THE NEXT SECTION
00:25:19.48\00:25:21.42
WHICH IS CALLED THE
PRINCE OF THE WORLD - THE PRINCE
00:25:21.42\00:25:23.72
OF THIS WORLD - AND
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ
00:25:23.72\00:25:27.52
JOHN 5:19 IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:25:27.52\00:25:30.06
I WILL READ JOHN - OH
YEAH, IT'LL BE 1 JOHN 5:19.
00:25:30.06\00:25:35.30
I'LL READ JOHN 14:30.
CHRIST SAID, "I WILL NO
00:25:35.30\00:25:38.50
LONGER TALK MUCH WITH
YOU, FOR THE RULER OF THIS
00:25:38.50\00:25:41.77
WORLD IS COMING, AND
HE HAS NOTHING IN ME."
00:25:41.77\00:25:44.37
- WHO IS JESUS
TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE SAYS,
00:25:44.37\00:25:45.94
'THE RULER OF
THE WORLD'? >>SATAN.
00:25:45.94\00:25:48.18
>>HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE DEVIL.
00:25:48.18\00:25:50.28
SO WAIT A SECOND! WE
SING THAT SONG 'THIS IS
00:25:50.28\00:25:54.08
MY FATHER'S
WORLD' - SO, WHICH IS IT?
00:25:54.08\00:25:58.92
IS IT GOD'S WORLD OR
IS IT THE DEVIL'S WORLD?
00:25:58.92\00:26:03.12
IT'S GOD'S WORLD,
BUT IT'S BEEN HIJACKED.
00:26:03.12\00:26:06.86
IT'S BEEN KIDNAPPED.
IT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO
00:26:06.86\00:26:09.06
GOD, BUT THE DEVIL HAS
SEIZED IT AND EVEN JESUS
00:26:09.06\00:26:13.13
RECOGNIZED THAT HE IS
THE RULER OF THE WORLD.
00:26:13.13\00:26:15.24
NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN
HE OWNS IT, BUT WHO DO - OH,
00:26:15.24\00:26:19.27
LET ME BACK UP AND
SAY THIS DIFFERENTLY.
00:26:19.27\00:26:21.68
WILL MORE PEOPLE BE
SAVED OR LOST IN THE END?
00:26:21.68\00:26:24.51
>>LOST. >>'BROAD IS THE WAY THAT
00:26:24.51\00:26:27.32
LEADS TO DESTRUCTION.' I
KNOW, IT'S A SAD THOUGHT.
00:26:27.32\00:26:30.42
'AND MANY THERE BE THAT
GO IN.' 'FEW' - 'STRAIGHT IS
00:26:30.42\00:26:33.42
THE GATE AND NARROW IS
THE WAY THAT LEADS TO LIFE AND
00:26:33.42\00:26:35.66
FEW FIND IT' - FEW ARE
LOOKING FOR IT - FEW WANT IT.
00:26:35.66\00:26:37.76
SO IF THAT'S TRUE, DO
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE
00:26:37.76\00:26:41.83
WORLD LISTEN TO SATAN
OR DO THEY LISTEN TO GOD?
00:26:41.83\00:26:44.83
>>SATAN. >>WE ALL AGREE?
00:26:44.83\00:26:47.37
SO WHEN CHRIST CALLS HIM
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD,
00:26:47.37\00:26:49.54
HE'S TALKING ABOUT MOST
OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
00:26:49.54\00:26:52.04
RECOGNIZE HIM - KNOWINGLY
OR UNKNOWINGLY - AS THE
00:26:52.04\00:26:56.04
KING, BECAUSE THEY LIVE
BY THE PRINCIPLES OF THE
00:26:56.04\00:26:58.45
DEVIL - OF SELFISHNESS. AND
IF YOU GO TO JOHN 16:11, JESUS
00:26:58.45\00:27:05.29
SAYS, "OF JUDGMENT, BECAUSE THE
PRINCE OF THIS WORLD IS JUDGED."
00:27:05.29\00:27:08.79
- THERE'S JUST ANOTHER
VERSE HE REFERS TO HIM AS
00:27:08.79\00:27:10.13
THE PRINCE OF THIS
WORLD. READ FOR ME 1 JOHN 5:19.
00:27:10.13\00:27:14.46
>>"WE KNOW THAT WE ARE
OF GOD, AND THE WHOLE WORLD
00:27:14.46\00:27:16.60
LIES UNDER THE
SWAY OF THE WICKED ONE."
00:27:16.60\00:27:19.03
>>HOW MUCH OF THE WORLD?
THE WHOLE WORLD LIES UNDER
00:27:19.03\00:27:23.54
THE SWAY OF THE WICKED ONE.
00:27:23.54\00:27:25.77
AND THIS IS WHAT JOHN SAYS.
00:27:25.77\00:27:27.31
IF YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE,
IN 2 CORINTHIANS 4:4, IT
00:27:27.31\00:27:31.41
SAYS, "WHOSE MINDS THE
GOD OF THIS AGE HAS BLINDED,
00:27:31.41\00:27:36.48
WHO DO NOT BELIEVE, LEST
THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF
00:27:36.48\00:27:39.09
THE GLORY OF CHRIST,
WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD,
00:27:39.09\00:27:41.36
SHOULD SHINE ON THEM."
00:27:41.36\00:27:44.63
NOW HOW DID THE DEVIL
COME TO OWN THIS WORLD?
00:27:44.63\00:27:48.46
ALRIGHT, THERE'S A
PRINCIPLE: ROMANS 6:16,
00:27:48.46\00:27:53.47
"DO YOU NOT KNOW
THAT TO WHOM YOU PRESENT
00:27:53.47\00:27:56.04
YOURSELVES SLAVES TO
OBEY, YOU ARE THAT ONE'S SLAVES
00:27:56.04\00:27:59.47
WHOM YOU OBEY, WHETHER
OF SIN LEADING TO DEATH, OR
00:27:59.47\00:28:03.14
OF OBEDIENCE
LEADING TO RIGHTEOUSNESS?"
00:28:03.14\00:28:05.11
THERE'S TWO CHOICES:
YOU CAN OBEY GOD - LIVE -
00:28:05.11\00:28:07.52
DISOBEY - LISTEN TO THE
DEVIL, BE A SLAVE, AND DIE.
00:28:07.52\00:28:12.05
WHEN GOD TOLD ADAM AND
EVE, 'I MADE THIS WORLD.
00:28:12.05\00:28:15.79
YOU ARE THE LEADING CREATION.
00:28:15.79\00:28:17.49
I HAVE MADE YOU IN MY
IMAGE.' NOT ONLY DID ADAM
00:28:17.49\00:28:21.16
AND EVE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO PROCREATE THROUGH AN
00:28:21.16\00:28:23.50
ACT OF LOVE - AS GOD
CREATES - BUT HE SAID,
00:28:23.50\00:28:26.57
'I'M GOING TO MAKE
YOU THE GOD OF THIS WORLD.
00:28:26.57\00:28:28.70
YOU ARE TO HAVE DOMINION.' -
ISN'T THAT WHAT GOD GAVE THEM?
00:28:28.70\00:28:31.24
'THIS PLANET IS YOUR
DOMAIN.' BUT WHEN THE
00:28:31.24\00:28:35.14
DEVIL CAME ALONG AND
SAID, 'YOU CAN'T TRUST GOD.
00:28:35.14\00:28:37.35
YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN
TO ME. HE'S LYING TO YOU.
00:28:37.35\00:28:39.71
DON'T LISTEN TO HIS WORD,
LISTEN TO MY WORD.' AND HE
00:28:39.71\00:28:42.85
STARTS TO QUESTION GOD'S
WORD - HE SAYS, 'HATH GOD SAID?'
00:28:42.85\00:28:45.22
- 'GOD DIDN'T
REALLY MEAN THAT, DID HE?
00:28:45.22\00:28:46.49
YOU CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT GOD
SAYS.' WHAT WAS THE RESULT?
00:28:46.49\00:28:50.09
ADAM AND EVE CHOSE
TO LISTEN TO THE DEVIL.
00:28:50.09\00:28:52.16
THEY OBEYED THE DEVIL
AND, LET ME READ IT TO YOU
00:28:52.16\00:28:55.30
AGAIN, "DO YOU NOT KNOW
THAT TO WHOM YOU PRESENT
00:28:55.30\00:28:58.20
YOURSELVES SLAVES TO
OBEY, YOU ARE THE SLAVES TO THE
00:28:58.20\00:29:00.94
ONE WHO YOU OBEY"
- WHEN THEY CHOSE -
00:29:00.94\00:29:03.91
WHEN ADAM AND EVE CHOSE
TO LISTEN TO LUCIFER INSTEAD
00:29:03.91\00:29:06.51
OF GOD, THEY HANDED THE
KEYS OF DOMINION FOR THIS
00:29:06.51\00:29:10.48
PLANET TO THE ENEMY.
THE DEVIL, THEN, BEGAN TO
00:29:10.48\00:29:14.08
OPERATE HERE IN THE
WORLD. GOD RESTRICTED SATAN TO
00:29:14.08\00:29:17.55
THIS PLANET FOR
HIS FUTURE OPERATIONS.
00:29:17.55\00:29:19.65
HE WAS CAST OUT OF
HEAVEN TO THIS EARTH, AND THAT'S
00:29:19.65\00:29:23.02
HOW HE,
BASICALLY, TOOK DOMINION.
00:29:23.02\00:29:25.23
AND PEOPLE SAY, 'IF GOD
IS GOOD, WHY IS THERE SO MUCH
00:29:25.23\00:29:29.80
WICKEDNESS AND SUFFERING?'
WHO'S IN CHARGE DOWN HERE?
00:29:29.80\00:29:33.44
WAIT A SECOND.
PEOPLE ARE SAYING,
00:29:33.44\00:29:35.87
'ISN'T GOD SOVEREIGN?'
ISN'T GOD ALL-POWERFUL?
00:29:35.87\00:29:39.14
I THOUGHT GOD WAS
IN CHARGE.' GOD IS
00:29:39.14\00:29:41.71
ALL-POWERFUL, BUT GOD
DOESN'T FORCE HIMSELF ON
00:29:41.71\00:29:43.81
ANYONE. IS
GOD'S WILL BEING DONE?
00:29:43.81\00:29:46.95
IS GOD'S WILL ALWAYS DONE? NO.
00:29:46.95\00:29:49.95
WHAT DO YOU SAY
IN THE LORD'S PRAYER?
00:29:49.95\00:29:51.92
'THY WILL BE DONE' -
WHY DO WE PRAY 'THY WILL BE
00:29:51.92\00:29:54.32
DONE'? BECAUSE MOST OF
THE TIME IT'S NOT HIS WILL.
00:29:54.32\00:29:59.03
DOESN'T THE BIBLE SAY GOD IS NOT
WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH?
00:29:59.03\00:30:03.06
AM I RIGHT? DOES GOD WANT ANYONE
TO PERISH? HE IS NOT WILLING.
00:30:03.06\00:30:07.27
WILL MOST PEOPLE
PERISH? THAT'S NOT HIS WILL.
00:30:07.27\00:30:11.01
SO WHY ARE WE PRAYING,
'LORD, YOUR WILL BE DONE'?
00:30:11.01\00:30:14.31
BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE
GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY,
00:30:14.31\00:30:16.38
WITH ALL OF THE SUFFERING AND
THE MISERY, IS NOT GOD'S WILL.
00:30:16.38\00:30:20.28
THERE IS AN ENEMY -
THERE IS A FIEND - THERE IS AN
00:30:20.28\00:30:22.82
ARCH-SINISTER-TERRIBLE
DICTATOR - DESPOT - WHO IS
00:30:22.82\00:30:27.46
RAMPAGING AROUND THIS
PLANET CAUSING ALL KINDS
00:30:27.46\00:30:29.66
OF PROBLEMS, CALLED
THE DEVIL, SATAN, LUCIFER,
00:30:29.66\00:30:31.79
PRINCE OF DARKNESS.
THEY'VE GOT ALL THESE RELIGIONS
00:30:31.79\00:30:34.63
THAT HAVE TERMINOLOGY
FOR THE EVIL ONE - SATAN.
00:30:34.63\00:30:40.07
AND SOME UNSOPHISTICATED
PEOPLE, THEY LAUGH AT THE
00:30:40.07\00:30:42.60
IDEA THAT YOU
SAY THERE'S A DEVIL.
00:30:42.60\00:30:44.17
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CAN
LAUGH. I ALMOST THINK THERE'S
00:30:44.17\00:30:46.44
MORE EVIDENCE IN THE
WORLD FOR A DEVIL THAN ANYTHING.
00:30:46.44\00:30:50.71
THERE IS SO MUCH EVIL
THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, IT'S
00:30:50.71\00:30:53.25
JUST BEYOND IMAGINATION
THAT - IT'S MIND-BOGGLING
00:30:53.25\00:30:59.89
FOR ME, THAT PEOPLE
WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE THERE'S
00:30:59.89\00:31:02.02
A BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD
AND EVIL IN THE WORLD.
00:31:02.02\00:31:04.19
AND SO HE IS THE
PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.
00:31:04.19\00:31:06.49
ADAM AND EVE LOST THE DOMINION.
00:31:06.49\00:31:08.40
AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT
THIS, NOW IN THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:31:08.40\00:31:11.33
WE'RE GOING TO
JUMP THERE REAL QUICK.
00:31:11.33\00:31:12.53
JOB CHAPTER 1, VERSE 6,
"NOW THERE WAS A DAY WHEN
00:31:12.53\00:31:17.31
THE SONS OF GOD CAME TO
PRESENT THEMSELVES BEFORE
00:31:17.31\00:31:19.91
THE LORD, AND SATAN
ALSO CAME AMONG THEM."
00:31:19.91\00:31:24.08
- I'VE GOT TO STOP THERE.
WHO ARE THESE 'SONS OF GOD'?
00:31:24.08\00:31:26.88
WELL, ONE CLUE IS THIS
MEETING IS NOT HAPPENING
00:31:26.88\00:31:30.05
ON EARTH. THIS
MEETING IS HAPPENING
00:31:30.05\00:31:32.39
SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN THE
EARTH BECAUSE GOD SAYS TO
00:31:32.39\00:31:35.76
THE DEVIL, 'WHERE
DID YOU COME FROM?'
00:31:35.76\00:31:37.89
IT SAYS 'I CAME FROM
THE EARTH - FROM WALKING TO
00:31:37.89\00:31:41.60
AND FRO IN IT AND UP AND
DOWN IN IT.' SO THESE SONS
00:31:41.60\00:31:45.00
OF GOD - WHAT DID - WHAT
DID GOD CALL ADAM AND EVE
00:31:45.00\00:31:47.64
AFTER HE MADE THEM? IT SAYS IN
- ENOS WAS THE SON OF SETH, WHO
00:31:47.64\00:31:55.11
WAS THE SON OF ADAM,
WHO WAS THE SON OF GOD.
00:31:55.11\00:31:59.68
NOW JESUS IS CALLED THE
SON OF GOD, BUT ADAM WAS
00:31:59.68\00:32:02.65
MIRACULOUSLY CREATED. HE WASN'T
BORN. SO THESE OTHER SONS OF
00:32:02.65\00:32:06.79
GOD, WE CAN FIGURE -
DOES GOD HAVE UNFALLEN WORLDS
00:32:06.79\00:32:09.66
OUT THROUGH THE
COSMOS AND THE UNIVERSE?
00:32:09.66\00:32:13.26
THEY ARE THE LEADERS OF
THESE UNFALLEN WORLDS THAT
00:32:13.26\00:32:15.86
DID NOT GIVE UP THEIR
DOMINION TO THE DEVIL.
00:32:15.86\00:32:18.70
BUT WHO COMES FROM THIS
PLANET REPRESENTING PLANET
00:32:18.70\00:32:21.14
EARTH? NOT ADAM. LUCIFER COMES.
00:32:21.14\00:32:25.54
AND THE VERY FACT HE
SAYS, 'FOR I HAVE COME FROM
00:32:25.54\00:32:27.54
WALKING TO AND
FRO AND UP AND DOWN.'
00:32:27.54\00:32:31.01
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
IMPLIES? OWNERSHIP.
00:32:31.01\00:32:33.72
YOU NOTICE WHEN GOD GAVE
ABRAHAM THE PROMISED LAND,
00:32:33.72\00:32:37.82
HE SAID TO ABRAHAM,
'I WANT YOU TO WALK THE
00:32:37.82\00:32:41.26
LENGTH AND THE BREADTH.
I WANT YOU TO WALK UP AND
00:32:41.26\00:32:43.79
DOWN, BACK AND FORTH IN
THE PROMISED LAND BECAUSE
00:32:43.79\00:32:46.29
- LOOK IT OVER
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE YOUR
00:32:46.29\00:32:47.76
TERRITORY.' IT'S
LIKE THIS MAN WAS INVITED
00:32:47.76\00:32:50.93
TO THE WEDDING FEAST.
HE SAID, 'I CAN'T BECAUSE
00:32:50.93\00:32:52.83
I BOUGHT SOME LAND.
I'VE GOT TO GO SEE IT.
00:32:52.83\00:32:54.64
I'VE GOT TO WALK BACK
AND FORTH, UP AND DOWN, STAKE
00:32:54.64\00:32:56.04
MY CLAIM, PUT THE FLAG DOWN.
00:32:56.04\00:32:58.31
THIS IS MY LAND.' AND SO
WHEN THE DEVIL SAYS, 'I'M
00:32:58.31\00:33:01.31
WALKING BACK AND FORTH
TO AND FRO, UP AND DOWN, IN
00:33:01.31\00:33:03.45
THE WORLD, HE'S
BASICALLY SAYING, 'THIS IS MY
00:33:03.45\00:33:04.91
TERRITORY.' LIKE A LION
ON THE PROWL - 'MY HUNTING
00:33:04.91\00:33:08.15
GROUNDS.' SO HE'S
CLAIMING THE EARTH AS HIS OWN.
00:33:08.15\00:33:13.29
ALRIGHT, SO NOW WE'RE
GOING TO GO TO THE WAR IN
00:33:13.29\00:33:15.39
HEAVEN AND YOU NEED TO
TURN TO REVELATION CHAPTER 12.
00:33:15.39\00:33:20.10
NOW THE VERY TERM 'WAR
IN HEAVEN', DOESN'T IT SOUND
00:33:20.10\00:33:23.03
LIKE IT'S AN OXYMORON? YOU
SAY, 'HEAVEN' AND THEN YOU SAY
00:33:23.03\00:33:28.70
'WAR' - DO THOSE WORDS GO
TOGETHER? YOU WOULDN'T THINK SO.
00:33:28.70\00:33:33.07
YOU'D THINK THAT HEAVEN
WOULD BE LIKE, YOU KNOW,
00:33:33.07\00:33:34.61
EXHIBIT A OF A PLACE OF PEACE.
00:33:34.61\00:33:37.05
BUT, WHILE IT WAS LIKE
THAT, IT WASN'T - DIDN'T
00:33:37.05\00:33:40.88
ALWAYS STAY THAT WAY.
REVELATION CHAPTER 12 -
00:33:40.88\00:33:44.45
AND IF YOU READ -
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:33:44.45\00:33:46.62
I'M GOING TO READ THE
FIRST FEW VERSES HERE.
00:33:46.62\00:33:48.92
"NOW A GREAT SIGN APPEARED
IN HEAVEN: A WOMAN CLOTHED
00:33:48.92\00:33:54.10
WITH THE SUN, WITH THE
MOON UNDER HER FEET, AND
00:33:54.10\00:33:56.16
ON HER HEAD A
GARLAND OF TWELVE STARS.
00:33:56.16\00:33:58.73
THEN BEING WITH CHILD,
SHE CRIES OUT IN LABOR AND IN
00:33:58.73\00:34:02.40
PAIN TO GIVE BIRTH.
AND ANOTHER SIGN APPEARED
00:34:02.40\00:34:05.41
IN HEAVEN: BEHOLD, A
GREAT, FIERY RED DRAGON
00:34:05.41\00:34:07.64
HAVING SEVEN HEADS
AND TEN HORNS, AND SEVEN
00:34:07.64\00:34:10.65
DIADEMS ON HIS HEADS.
HIS TAIL DREW A THIRD OF
00:34:10.65\00:34:14.98
THE STARS OF HEAVEN AND
THREW THEM TO THE EARTH.
00:34:14.98\00:34:18.42
AND THE DRAGON STOOD
BEFORE THE WOMAN WHO WAS
00:34:18.42\00:34:20.19
READY TO GIVE BIRTH, TO
DEVOUR HER CHILD AS SOON
00:34:20.19\00:34:22.62
AS IT WAS BORN." SO
HERE YOU SEE THIS WOMAN
00:34:22.62\00:34:26.43
- AND SHE'S A
SYMBOL OF GOD'S CHURCH.
00:34:26.43\00:34:28.63
SHE'S WANTING TO BRING
FORTH THE PROMISED SEED -
00:34:28.63\00:34:31.47
WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT THAT A LITTLE
00:34:31.47\00:34:32.70
LATER TODAY IN THE
SERMON - AND THE DEVIL WANTS TO
00:34:32.70\00:34:35.94
DEVOUR THE CHILD
AS SOON AS IT'S BORN.
00:34:35.94\00:34:38.64
THERE HAVE BEEN
SEVERAL EFFORTS OF THE DEVIL TO
00:34:38.64\00:34:41.54
PREVENT THE MESSIAH FROM COMING.
00:34:41.54\00:34:43.88
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT
THE PHARAOH WANTED ALL THE
00:34:43.88\00:34:48.52
BABY BOYS IN EGYPT
CAST INTO THE RIVER?
00:34:48.52\00:34:54.59
THE DEVIL KNEW A
MESSIAH WAS COMING.
00:34:54.59\00:34:57.59
HE DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN.
00:34:57.59\00:34:59.16
HE WAS TRYING TO
PREVENT - HE KNEW IT WOULD COME
00:34:59.16\00:35:01.13
THROUGH ISRAEL - TRYING
TO PREVENT THAT PROMISED
00:35:01.13\00:35:03.93
CHILD FROM BEING BORN.
WHY DID ATHELIAH KILL ALL
00:35:03.93\00:35:08.14
OF THE SEED OF DAVID - EXCEPT
ONE ESCAPED? JUST LIKE MOSES
00:35:08.14\00:35:11.37
ESCAPED - REMEMBER JOASH
WAS HIDDEN IN THE TEMPLE?
00:35:11.37\00:35:14.81
WHY WAS THERE AN EFFORT
MADE TO KILL ALL THE BABY BOYS?
00:35:14.81\00:35:18.98
BECAUSE THEY KNEW
THE MESSIAH WAS COMING.
00:35:18.98\00:35:20.55
THE DEVIL
WANTED TO PREVENT THIS.
00:35:20.55\00:35:21.95
HE TRIED TO DEVOUR -
WHY WERE ALL THE BABY BOYS
00:35:21.95\00:35:23.85
KILLED IN BETHLEHEM?
YOU SEE THIS PATTERN?
00:35:23.85\00:35:28.16
BECAUSE THE CHILD WAS
GOING TO COME FROM THE SON
00:35:28.16\00:35:29.69
OF DAVID FROM THE
TOWN OF BETHLEHEM.
00:35:29.69\00:35:32.06
AND SO, AS MUCH AS
THE DEVIL COULD READ THE
00:35:32.06\00:35:33.86
PROPHECIES, HE SAID,
'I'M JUST GOING TO EXTERMINATE
00:35:33.86\00:35:35.73
ALL THE BABY BOYS AND
TRY AND GET HIM WHILE HE'S
00:35:35.73\00:35:37.70
YOUNG AND
VULNERABLE. SO THE DRAGON STANDS
00:35:37.70\00:35:40.27
BEFORE THE WOMAN WHO'S
READY TO GIVE BIRTH, TO
00:35:40.27\00:35:43.10
DEVOUR HER CHILD
AS SOON AS IT'S BORN.
00:35:43.10\00:35:46.21
AND "SHE BORE A MALE
CHILD WHO WAS TO RULE ALL
00:35:46.21\00:35:49.61
NATIONS WITH A ROD OF IRON.
00:35:49.61\00:35:51.01
AND HER CHILD WAS CAUGHT
UP TO GOD AND HIS THRONE.
00:35:51.01\00:35:54.85
THEN THE WOMAN FLED INTO
THE WILDERNESS, WHERE SHE
00:35:54.85\00:35:57.42
HAS A PLACE PREPARED BY
GOD, THAT THEY SHOULD FEED
00:35:57.42\00:36:00.56
HER THERE ONE THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY DAYS."
00:36:00.56\00:36:04.29
- AND THEN YOU GO TO THE
NEXT VERSE, IT SAYS, "AND
00:36:04.29\00:36:07.10
WAR BROKE OUT IN
HEAVEN: MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS
00:36:07.10\00:36:10.17
FOUGHT WITH THE
DRAGON; AND THE DRAGON AND HIS
00:36:10.17\00:36:12.90
ANGELS FOUGHT," - NOW,
ONCE AGAIN, WHO IS THE DRAGON?
00:36:12.90\00:36:17.31
WELL, IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTION ABOUT THIS, YOU
00:36:17.31\00:36:19.71
JUST LOOK DOWN TO VERSE
9, "SO THE GREAT DRAGON WAS
00:36:19.71\00:36:23.35
CAST OUT, THAT SERPENT
OF OLD, CALLED THE DEVIL AND
00:36:23.35\00:36:26.05
SATAN, WHO DECEIVES THE
WHOLE WORLD; HE WAS CAST
00:36:26.05\00:36:29.05
TO THE EARTH, AND HIS
ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM."
00:36:29.05\00:36:31.52
SO IF YOU EVER HAD ANY
DOUBT BEFORE, IT'S THE DRAGON,
00:36:31.52\00:36:35.42
THE SERPENT, THE DEVIL,
SATAN. I MEAN, HOW CAN YOU
00:36:35.42\00:36:39.96
GET THAT MIXED UP?
WHO THIS BATTLE IS ABOUT?
00:36:39.96\00:36:43.30
AND SO THEN YOU LOOK AND
WHAT WERE THE WEAPONS THAT
00:36:43.30\00:36:46.84
THEY USED? HAVE
ANY OF YOU EVER SEEN
00:36:46.84\00:36:48.74
OUR COSMIC
CONFLICT STUDY? OUR DVD?
00:36:48.74\00:36:53.11
AND, YOU KNOW, WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN WE
00:36:53.11\00:36:54.68
PORTRAYED THAT WAR IN HEAVEN.
00:36:54.68\00:36:56.18
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I
WAS NOT THERE THAT DAY AND
00:36:56.18\00:36:58.78
THEY GOT THESE - THEY
WANTED TO MAKE SWORDS AND
00:36:58.78\00:37:01.72
WANTED TO LIGHT THEM
UP AND WHEN WE GOT DONE WE
00:37:01.72\00:37:03.28
THOUGHT, 'OH MAN, IT
LOOKS LIKE STAR WARS.
00:37:03.28\00:37:05.15
THIS IS KIND OF SILLY.'
WE WERE TRYING TO THINK,
00:37:05.15\00:37:07.09
'WHAT DO YOU DO TO
HAVE DEVILS FIGHT WITH EACH
00:37:07.09\00:37:09.52
OTHER? WHAT KIND OF
WEAPONS DO THEY USE?'
00:37:09.52\00:37:11.89
GO AHEAD, READ
YOUR VERSE IN EZEKIEL.
00:37:11.89\00:37:15.43
>>EZEKIEL 9, VERSE 2,
"AND SUDDENLY SIX MEN CAME
00:37:15.43\00:37:19.63
FROM THE DIRECTION OF
THE UPPER GATE, WHICH FACES
00:37:19.63\00:37:21.90
NORTH, EACH WITH HIS
BATTLE-AX IN HIS HAND."
00:37:21.90\00:37:25.31
>>NOW THESE ARE THE ANGELS
THAT GO AROUND AND THEY'RE
00:37:25.31\00:37:29.21
- THEY'RE FIGHTING A
BATTLE AND THEY'VE GOT
00:37:29.21\00:37:32.28
THIS DESTROYING WEAPON - A
BATTLE-AX - THAT'S ALL IT MEANS.
00:37:32.28\00:37:35.15
IT JUST MEANS A
SHATTERING WEAPON.
00:37:35.15\00:37:37.69
WHAT DO YOU THINK ANGELS USE?
00:37:37.69\00:37:39.22
IT'S SAYS THEY'RE
SPIRITUAL CREATURES.
00:37:39.22\00:37:41.66
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO
IMAGINE THAT THEY'RE USING
00:37:41.66\00:37:43.36
AXES AND SWORDS AND -
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN
00:37:43.36\00:37:47.50
EVEN COMPREHEND IT. WE
DO SEE ANGELS USING SWORDS.
00:37:47.50\00:37:51.20
IF YOU LOOK, FOR
INSTANCE, IN 1 CHRONICLES 21 - 1
00:37:51.20\00:37:55.70
CHRONICLES 21, VERSE 16
- "THEN DAVID LIFTED HIS
00:37:55.70\00:37:59.74
EYES AND SAW THE ANGEL
OF THE LORD STANDING BETWEEN
00:37:59.74\00:38:03.04
EARTH AND HEAVEN, HAVING
IN HIS HAND A DRAWN SWORD
00:38:03.04\00:38:07.35
STRETCHED OUT OVER JERUSALEM.
SO DAVID AND THE ELDERS,
00:38:07.35\00:38:10.82
CLOTHED IN
SACKCLOTH, FELL ON THEIR FACES."
00:38:10.82\00:38:14.12
SO, YOU KNOW, GOD -
AND THEN IT TALKS ABOUT THE
00:38:14.12\00:38:17.13
LORD COMING WITH
HORSES AND CHARIOTS OF FIRE.
00:38:17.13\00:38:20.43
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE
GOING TO BE DOING THAT THE
00:38:20.43\00:38:23.43
WAY WE NORMALLY DO, BUT
GOD USES CHARIOTS OF FIRE
00:38:23.43\00:38:27.24
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY
GOT AROUND BACK THEN - TO
00:38:27.24\00:38:29.97
HELP US DEPICT IT.
WHEN IT SAYS A CHARIOT AND
00:38:29.97\00:38:32.21
HORSES OF FIRE CAME
AND SCOOPED UP ELIJAH, WAS
00:38:32.21\00:38:35.51
IT REALLY A CHARIOT?
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:38:35.51\00:38:38.88
I THINK GOD IS GIVING
US TERMS - THERE'S THINGS
00:38:38.88\00:38:40.92
THAT WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
IT TALKS ABOUT THE LORD
00:38:40.92\00:38:42.95
MOVING AROUND WITH WHEELS WITHIN
A WHEEL. AND SO, NOW THERE'S
00:38:42.95\00:38:47.26
SOMETHING
INTERESTING WE SEE HAPPENING.
00:38:47.26\00:38:49.36
THERE ARE FOUR
GREAT THREATS DESCRIBED IN
00:38:49.36\00:38:51.69
REVELATION 12 AND EACH
OF THEM IS FOLLOWED BY AN
00:38:51.69\00:38:54.36
INCREDIBLE DELIVERANCE.
IN DRAMATIC VISION, JOHN
00:38:54.36\00:38:57.90
IS SHOWN THE STRUGGLE
BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN
00:38:57.90\00:39:00.34
AND IT APPEARS THAT,
IN EACH CASE, THERE'S THIS
00:39:00.34\00:39:02.77
TERRIBLE MISMATCHED
CRISIS. ALRIGHT, YOU LOOK, FOR
00:39:02.77\00:39:06.34
INSTANCE, IN THE
FIRST PART, IT SAYS THERE IS
00:39:06.34\00:39:08.81
A GREAT RED DRAGON WHO
PREPARES TO EAT BABY JESUS.
00:39:08.81\00:39:14.08
SO YOU'VE GOT THIS
CRISIS BETWEEN THESE TWO FORCES
00:39:14.08\00:39:16.72
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SITUATION
IS HOPELESS. THE DRAGON IS ABOUT
00:39:16.72\00:39:19.99
TO DEVOUR THE
BABY, BUT WHAT HAPPENS?
00:39:19.99\00:39:23.36
THERE'S GREAT DELIVERANCE
THE BABY'S CAUGHT UP TO GOD.
00:39:23.36\00:39:26.36
SECOND TIME: THE DRAGON
THEN ATTEMPTS TO PERSECUTE
00:39:26.36\00:39:29.10
THE WOMAN - THE MOTHER
- THAT'S A SYMBOL FOR THE
00:39:29.10\00:39:31.93
PEOPLE OF GOD - AND
HOW CAN THIS MOTHER DEFEND
00:39:31.93\00:39:34.84
HERSELF AGAINST THE
DRAGON? BUT IT SAYS SHE ESCAPED.
00:39:34.84\00:39:38.01
SHE'S GIVEN WINGS - SHE ESCAPES.
00:39:38.01\00:39:40.84
IN THE THIRD ATTEMPT,
IT'S A DRAGON ATTEMPTS TO
00:39:40.84\00:39:44.11
DESTROY THE WOMAN
WHO HAS NOW FLED INTO THE
00:39:44.11\00:39:46.08
WILDERNESS AND HOW IS
SHE GOING TO FIGHT AGAINST
00:39:46.08\00:39:49.08
THIS FLOOD? BUT GOD
HELPS. THE EARTH OPENS ITS MOUTH
00:39:49.08\00:39:52.99
AND, VERSE 16 -
SWALLOWS UP THE FLOOD.
00:39:52.99\00:39:56.96
AND THEN, IF YOU LOOK AT
THE END OF CHAPTER 12, IT
00:39:56.96\00:40:00.30
SAYS THE DRAGON NOW
TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO THE
00:40:00.30\00:40:02.53
REMNANT OF THE WOMAN'S SEED.
00:40:02.53\00:40:04.17
HE'S FURIOUS AND
HE WARS AGAINST THEM.
00:40:04.17\00:40:08.27
NOW, YOU DON'T REALLY
- YOU REALIZE, THERE'S NO
00:40:08.27\00:40:10.17
CHAPTER DIVISIONS IN THE BIBLE?
00:40:10.17\00:40:12.44
AND SO, TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENS AT THE END OF
00:40:12.44\00:40:14.11
CHAPTER 12, YOU NEED
TO MOVE ALONG A LITTLE BIT
00:40:14.11\00:40:16.58
AND YOU CAN GO TO
CHAPTER 14 AND YOU SEE THE
00:40:16.58\00:40:18.51
FAITHFUL, NOW THAT
THE DRAGON WAS TRYING TO
00:40:18.51\00:40:21.38
DESTROY THE SEED OF
THE WOMAN, AND THE - THE
00:40:21.38\00:40:24.65
NATURE OF THE WAR AGAINST
THE WOMAN IS CHAPTER 13 -
00:40:24.65\00:40:28.96
THE MARK OF THE
BEAST. ALL OF THEM CAN'T
00:40:28.96\00:40:30.76
BUY OR SELL.
THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE
00:40:30.76\00:40:32.76
DESTROYED IF THEY
DON'T WORSHIP THE BEAST.
00:40:32.76\00:40:34.93
THIS IS THE WAR THAT IS
MADE AGAINST GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:40:34.93\00:40:37.43
BUT THEN YOU GO TO
CHAPTER 14, THEY'RE STANDING
00:40:37.43\00:40:40.47
BEFORE GOD'S THRONE AND
THEY HAVE BEEN DELIVERED.
00:40:40.47\00:40:43.77
SO YOU'VE GOT THIS -
THIS CONTEST THAT'S HAPPENING
00:40:43.77\00:40:47.04
ALL THROUGH CHAPTER
12. CHAPTER 12 IS SOMEWHAT
00:40:47.04\00:40:49.41
LIKE THE MIDDLE OF THE
PROPHECY OF REVELATION.
00:40:49.41\00:40:51.88
IT - IT TELLS YOU THAT
THERE'S WAR THAT GOES ON
00:40:51.88\00:40:54.62
THAT YOU FIND ALL THE
WAY FROM REVELATION TO
00:40:54.62\00:40:58.25
GENESIS, BETWEEN THE
SERPENT AND THE WOMAN AND
00:40:58.25\00:41:00.99
THE SEED - THE CHILD.
HAVE YOU NOTICED SEVERAL
00:41:00.99\00:41:06.96
BATTLES OVER
BABIES IN THE BIBLE?
00:41:06.96\00:41:10.87
THAT SORT OF RHYMED -
BATTLES OVER BABIES IN THE
00:41:10.87\00:41:12.33
BIBLE - DO YOU SEE - IN
THE STORY OF SOLOMON, TWO
00:41:12.33\00:41:17.34
WOMEN ARE FIGHTING OVER
- ARE THEY FIGHTING OVER
00:41:17.34\00:41:20.44
GIRL BABIES OR BOY
BABIES? BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:41:20.44\00:41:23.98
TYPES OF CHRIST.
AND ONE'S SAYING, 'IT'S
00:41:23.98\00:41:26.78
MINE.' AND THE OTHER
ONE'S SAYING, 'IT'S MINE.'
00:41:26.78\00:41:28.68
'LET'S KILL IT.' 'NO,
LET'S SAVE IT.' THERE'S A
00:41:28.68\00:41:33.52
VERY DISTURBING STORY IN
2 KINGS CHAPTER 6, ABOUT TWO
00:41:33.52\00:41:36.29
WOMEN FIGHTING OVER A
BABY BOY DURING A FAMINE.
00:41:36.29\00:41:39.36
I WON'T READ ALL OF THAT
TO YOU, BUT IT'S SIMILAR.
00:41:39.36\00:41:41.80
ONE IS SAVED. ONE IS DESTROYED.
00:41:41.80\00:41:45.10
HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT
WITH THE WIVES OF JACOB,
00:41:45.10\00:41:47.60
THEY'RE FIGHTING OVER
THEIR HUSBAND ABOUT WHO IS
00:41:47.60\00:41:51.34
GOING TO HAVE A SON -
AND THEY'RE GOING BACK AND
00:41:51.34\00:41:54.04
FORTH? DO YOU
SEE THE BATTLE OVER
00:41:54.04\00:41:56.24
THE BABY BOYS
HAPPENING WITH HAGAR AND SARAH?
00:41:56.24\00:42:01.12
IT'S THIS INTERESTING
CONTEST THAT GOES ON - YOU
00:42:01.12\00:42:04.05
CAN SEE THROUGH THE
BIBLE - AND HERE YOU GET TO
00:42:04.05\00:42:05.65
REVELATION AND THERE'S
THIS PROMISED CHILD - THEY
00:42:05.65\00:42:09.52
WERE ALL TYPES OF
THE PROMISED CHILD - IS
00:42:09.52\00:42:11.73
HAPPENING AGAIN.
ALRIGHT, NOW LET'S GO TO
00:42:11.73\00:42:13.86
THE SECTION
CALLED SATAN EVICTED .
00:42:13.86\00:42:16.93
SOMEONE, IN A MOMENT, IS
GOING TO READ JOHN 12:31.
00:42:16.93\00:42:22.00
AND HERE WE'VE GOT, IN
LUKE CHAPTER 10, VERSE 17,
00:42:22.00\00:42:25.91
IT SAYS, "THEN THE
SEVENTY RETURNED" - FROM THEIR
00:42:25.91\00:42:28.94
PREACHING - THEY "RETURNED
WITH JOY, SAYING, 'LORD,
00:42:28.94\00:42:31.48
EVEN THE DEMONS ARE
SUBJECT TO US IN YOUR
00:42:31.48\00:42:34.42
NAME.' AND HE SAID TO
THEM, 'I SAW SATAN FALL
00:42:34.42\00:42:38.29
LIKE LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN.
00:42:38.29\00:42:41.39
BEHOLD, I GIVE YOU THE
AUTHORITY TO TRAMPLE ON
00:42:41.39\00:42:43.39
SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS"
- NOW, WAS JESUS SAYING HE
00:42:43.39\00:42:47.23
WANTED THEM TO GO FIND
SCORPIONS, THROW THEM IN
00:42:47.23\00:42:51.30
THE MIDDLE OF A CIRCLE
AND DO A DANCE ON TOP OF THEM?
00:42:51.30\00:42:55.84
WAS JESUS SAYING HE
WANTED THEM TO GO ON A SNAKE
00:42:55.84\00:42:58.31
SAFARI, GATHER UP A BUNCH
OF RATTLESNAKES, LIKE THEY
00:42:58.31\00:43:01.34
DO IN TEXAS AND
OKLAHOMA, AND THEN PLAY A LOT OF
00:43:01.34\00:43:04.98
HOOTENANNY MUSIC AND
PICK UP THE SNAKES TO PROVE
00:43:04.98\00:43:07.32
THEY HAVE THE HOLY
SPIRIT? SOME PEOPLE INTERPRET
00:43:07.32\00:43:09.92
THESE VERSES THAT
WAY. YOU READ THIS IN ITS
00:43:09.92\00:43:12.35
CONTEXT, WHO DOES THE SERPENT
AND THE SCORPION REPRESENT?
00:43:12.35\00:43:17.19
IT'S THE DEVIL, RIGHT?
I MEAN THOSE ARE - WHAT
00:43:17.19\00:43:21.33
DID - WHEN JOHN THE
BAPTIST TALKED TO THE
00:43:21.33\00:43:24.13
RELIGIOUS LEADERS
THAT WERE HYPOCRITES, WHAT
00:43:24.13\00:43:26.23
DID HE CALL THEM? DEN OF VIPERS.
SO SERPENTS WERE A TYPE OF
00:43:26.23\00:43:31.81
THE DEVIL - AND SCORPIONS.
YOU CAN ALSO EVEN FIND
00:43:31.81\00:43:35.11
THAT ILLUSTRATION
IN REVELATION LATER ON.
00:43:35.11\00:43:41.18
'NEVERTHELESS, DO NOT
REJOICE IN THIS, THAT THE
00:43:41.18\00:43:44.22
SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT TO
YOU, BUT RATHER, REJOICE
00:43:44.22\00:43:46.92
BECAUSE YOUR NAMES
ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.'
00:43:46.92\00:43:50.06
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD,
PLEASE READ FOR US JOHN 12:31.
00:43:50.06\00:43:54.86
>>"NOW IS THE JUDGMENT
OF THIS WORLD; NOW SHALL THE
00:43:54.86\00:43:57.97
PRINCE OF THIS
WORLD BE CAST OUT."
00:43:57.97\00:44:00.57
>>ALRIGHT, WHEN WAS
SATAN CAST OUT OF HEAVEN?
00:44:00.57\00:44:05.71
PEOPLE ASK THAT
QUESTION SOMETIMES.
00:44:05.71\00:44:08.28
WELL, THERE HAVE BEEN
A COUPLE OF CASTING OUTS.
00:44:08.28\00:44:11.51
SATAN, WHEN HE WAS FIRST
EVICTED FROM HEAVEN, WHEN
00:44:11.51\00:44:14.88
HE REBELLED WITH HIS
ANGELS, HE WAS KICKED OUT
00:44:14.88\00:44:17.92
OF THE CITY OF
GOD, YOU MIGHT SAY.
00:44:17.92\00:44:22.16
BUT HE WASN'T RESTRICTED
TO THE EARTH RIGHT AWAY.
00:44:22.16\00:44:25.36
SATAN WAS ABLE TO GO
THROUGH THE UNIVERSE AND
00:44:25.36\00:44:28.36
TRY TO RECRUIT OTHER
FOLLOWERS AT THAT POINT.
00:44:28.36\00:44:31.47
BUT WHEN THEY REJECTED
HIS TEMPTATIONS - JUST LIKE HE
00:44:31.47\00:44:33.97
MET ADAM AND EVE AT THE
TREE - THE DEVIL WAS ABLE
00:44:33.97\00:44:36.47
TO SHARE HIS VIEW -
CAMPAIGN FOR HIS ELECTION,
00:44:36.47\00:44:40.91
AMONG THE OTHER
UNFALLEN CREATURES, AND THEY
00:44:40.91\00:44:43.04
WOULDN'T LISTEN TO
HIM. THEY TRUSTED GOD.
00:44:43.04\00:44:44.95
THE ONLY PLANET THAT
LISTENED TO THE DEVIL WAS HERE.
00:44:44.95\00:44:48.52
YOU REMEMBER THE
PARABLE THAT JESUS SHARES?
00:44:48.52\00:44:52.15
THE SHEPHERD HAD A HUNDRED
SHEEP AND ONE WANDERED OFF
00:44:52.15\00:44:55.46
AND GOT LOST AND HE
LEFT THE NINETY-NINE TO COME
00:44:55.46\00:44:58.16
AND LOOK FOR
THAT ONE LOST SHEEP?
00:44:58.16\00:45:00.70
CHRIST LEFT ALL THE
UNFALLEN WORLDS THAT WERE
00:45:00.70\00:45:03.20
SAFE AND HE CAME TO THIS ONE.
00:45:03.20\00:45:06.40
HE SAID, 'IT'S NOT THE
SICK THAT NEED - OR THE
00:45:06.40\00:45:08.30
WELL THAT NEED A
PHYSICIAN, BUT THE SICK.'
00:45:08.30\00:45:10.01
HE CAME TO THIS SICK PLANET.
00:45:10.01\00:45:11.84
SO SATAN, THEN, WAS
RESTRICTED HERE BECAUSE HE
00:45:11.84\00:45:14.38
FOUND PEOPLE HERE
THAT WOULD LISTEN TO HIM.
00:45:14.38\00:45:16.11
THIS BECAME THE BEACHHEAD
- OUR PLANET BECAME THE
00:45:16.11\00:45:18.38
STAGING GROUND FOR SATAN
TO CONTINUE HIS REBELLION
00:45:18.38\00:45:21.72
AGAINST GOD. AND
SO, WHEN CHRIST DIED
00:45:21.72\00:45:24.85
ON THE CROSS, THERE WAS
AN ADDITIONAL CASTING DOWN.
00:45:24.85\00:45:29.12
SEE, AT ONE POINT, IN
THE STORY OF JOB, ISN'T THE
00:45:29.12\00:45:31.73
DEVIL GOING AWAY FROM THE EARTH?
00:45:31.73\00:45:34.76
AT LEAST TO THE GATES
OF HEAVEN TO REPRESENT THE
00:45:34.76\00:45:36.46
EARTH? HE CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE.
00:45:36.46\00:45:39.50
BUT HE IS STILL THE
ACCUSER OF THE HEAVEN - OF
00:45:39.50\00:45:42.14
THE - HE'S STILL THE
ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN.
00:45:42.14\00:45:45.81
IF YOU LOOK IN
COLOSSIANS 2:15 IT SAYS, "HAVING
00:45:45.81\00:45:50.78
DISARMED PRINCIPALITIES
AND POWERS, HE MADE A
00:45:50.78\00:45:54.12
PUBLIC SPECTACLE OF THEM,
TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT."
00:45:54.12\00:45:58.99
HAS THE DEVIL BEEN DISARMED?
00:45:58.99\00:46:01.82
THROUGH THE POWER OF
CHRIST, HIS POWER CAN BE
00:46:01.82\00:46:03.99
RESTRICTED - THROUGH
THE TRIUMPH OF JESUS.
00:46:03.99\00:46:07.13
WE CAN PUT ON THE
ARMOR OF GOD AND WE HAVE THE
00:46:07.13\00:46:10.57
EQUIPMENT, NOW, TO RESIST
ALL THE ATTACKS OF THE DEVIL.
00:46:10.57\00:46:13.34
SO SATAN HAS BEEN
CAST DOWN - TWICE - OUT OF
00:46:13.34\00:46:16.94
HEAVEN - RESTRICTED TO
EARTH. IS HE DONE BEING CAST?
00:46:16.94\00:46:20.74
WHAT DOES IT SAY IN
EZEKIEL IS GOING TO BE THE
00:46:20.74\00:46:22.91
FATE OF THE DEVIL?
AND WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW
00:46:22.91\00:46:24.45
SOME OF THESE THINGS
IN FUTURE LESSONS, BUT I
00:46:24.45\00:46:26.78
REALIZE THAT NOT
EVERYBODY HEARS EVERY LESSON.
00:46:26.78\00:46:30.05
IF YOU READ, FOR INSTANCE,
IN EZEKIEL 28, VERSE 17,
00:46:30.05\00:46:37.26
"YOUR HEART WAS LIFTED
BECAUSE OF YOUR BEAUTY;
00:46:37.26\00:46:40.20
YOU CORRUPTED YOUR
WISDOM FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR
00:46:40.20\00:46:42.36
SPLENDOR; I CAST
YOU TO THE GROUND," -
00:46:42.36\00:46:45.17
YOU NOTICE THAT? CASTING?
00:46:45.17\00:46:47.67
- "I CAST YOU TO THE
GROUND, I LAID YOU BEFORE
00:46:47.67\00:46:49.40
KINGS, THAT THEY
MIGHT GAZE AT YOU.
00:46:49.40\00:46:52.01
YOU DEFILE YOUR
SANCTUARIES BY THE
00:46:52.01\00:46:53.74
MULTITUDE OF YOUR
INIQUITIES, BY THE
00:46:53.74\00:46:55.54
INIQUITY OF YOUR TRADING;
THEREFORE I BROUGHT FIRE
00:46:55.54\00:46:58.21
FROM YOUR MIDST; IT
DEVOURED YOU, AND I TURNED
00:46:58.21\00:47:01.32
YOU TO ASHES UPON THE
EARTH IN THE SIGHT OF ALL
00:47:01.32\00:47:03.89
WHO SAW YOU. ALL
WHO KNEW YOU AMONG THE
00:47:03.89\00:47:06.89
PEOPLES ARE ASTONISHED
AT YOU; YOU HAVE BECOME A
00:47:06.89\00:47:09.46
HORROR, AND SHALL
BE NO MORE FOREVER."
00:47:09.46\00:47:12.53
SO SATAN IS GOING TO BE,
ULTIMATELY, BROUGHT TO THE
00:47:12.53\00:47:15.46
PIT, IT SAYS IN ISAIAH.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ABSALOM
00:47:15.46\00:47:18.73
WHEN HE REBELLED? YOU
KNOW, IT SAYS THEY PUT
00:47:18.73\00:47:22.47
HIM IN A GREAT PIT IN THE
WOOD AND THEY SET UP A BIG
00:47:22.47\00:47:26.07
PILE OF STONES ON HIM
THAT WOULD JUST BE FILLING IN
00:47:26.07\00:47:28.34
WITH COMPOST EVENTUALLY
AND THE PLACE WAS COVERED.
00:47:28.34\00:47:32.01
THERE'S NO MEMORIAL
FOR ABSALOM IN THE VALLEY
00:47:32.01\00:47:35.82
WHERE HE WAS SLAIN.
ALRIGHT, IF YOU GO ON
00:47:35.82\00:47:39.69
NOW AND YOU LOOK AT
THE CONTINUING BATTLE - AND
00:47:39.69\00:47:42.22
THIS IS OUR LAST SECTION
- YOU CAN READ IN JOHN 16:33
00:47:42.22\00:47:47.20
- NOW WE'VE TALKED
ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT.
00:47:47.20\00:47:49.40
JESUS SAID, "I HAVE
SPOKEN THESE THINGS TO YOU THAT
00:47:49.40\00:47:52.60
IN ME YOU MIGHT HAVE PEACE.
IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE
00:47:52.60\00:47:55.64
TRIBULATION, BUT BE
OF GOOD CHEER; I HAVE
00:47:55.64\00:47:58.57
OVERCOME THE
WORLD." CHRIST IS TELLING US
00:47:58.57\00:48:01.14
- DO WE HAVE TO FEAR?
HE SAYS, 'BE ENCOURAGED.
00:48:01.14\00:48:04.78
I'VE OVERCOME THE
WORLD.' ARE WE GOING TO HAVE
00:48:04.78\00:48:07.55
PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD? >>YES.
00:48:07.55\00:48:09.95
>>ARE WE GOING TO BE
TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL?
00:48:09.95\00:48:11.92
AND THERE'S
GOING TO BE CHALLENGES.
00:48:11.92\00:48:13.89
HE SAID, 'BUT DON'T BE
DISCOURAGED BY THAT.' HE
00:48:13.89\00:48:15.92
SAYS - SHOULD WE JUST
BEAR WITH IT OR DOES HE SAY,
00:48:15.92\00:48:18.13
'BE OF GOOD CHEER'?
00:48:18.13\00:48:20.33
WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED,
HE SAYS, 'BECAUSE I HAVE
00:48:20.33\00:48:22.73
OVERCOME THE WORLD.'
AND THEN YOU READ IN ROMANS
00:48:22.73\00:48:25.63
16:20, "AND THE GOD
OF PEACE WILL CRUSH SATAN
00:48:25.63\00:48:29.50
UNDER YOUR FEET SHORTLY."
IS THAT A GOOD PROMISE?
00:48:29.50\00:48:33.27
WHY DOES IT SAY,
'SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET'?
00:48:33.27\00:48:37.25
YOU REMEMBER WHAT IT
SAID ABOUT - THE SERPENT WOULD
00:48:37.25\00:48:39.98
BRUISE HIS HEEL, BUT
THE SERPENT'S HEAD WOULD BE
00:48:39.98\00:48:44.42
CRUSHED. AND SO, ULTIMATELY, THE
00:48:44.42\00:48:48.16
DEVIL'S HEAD IS
GOING TO BE CRUSHED.
00:48:48.16\00:48:50.43
DON'T EVER TRY AND
STEP ON A RATTLESNAKE UNLESS
00:48:50.43\00:48:52.93
YOU'RE REALLY FAST.
(LAUGHTER) YOU DON'T GET
00:48:52.93\00:48:56.46
THE HEAD, THEY CAN
STILL SPIN AROUND AND BITE.
00:48:56.46\00:49:01.30
REVELATION 12:11, "AND
THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE
00:49:01.30\00:49:04.31
BLOOD OF THE LAMB" - SO
IS THERE A PROMISE THAT THE -
00:49:04.31\00:49:07.31
THE SEED OF THE WOMAN -
THEY ULTIMATELY ARE VICTORIOUS?
00:49:07.31\00:49:11.15
- "AND THEY OVERCOME HIM
BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,
00:49:11.15\00:49:13.35
AND BY THE WORD OF
THEIR TESTIMONY, AND THEY DID
00:49:13.35\00:49:15.32
NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES TO THE
DEATH." SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO
00:49:15.32\00:49:18.72
OVERCOME THE
TEMPTATIONS OF THE DEVIL?
00:49:18.72\00:49:21.62
BY TRUSTING IN THE
SACRIFICE OF JESUS, HAVING
00:49:21.62\00:49:24.73
FAITH IN HIS PROMISE
THAT HE WILL COME INTO OUR
00:49:24.73\00:49:27.23
LIVES, BY THE WORD OF
THEIR TESTIMONY - AS WE
00:49:27.23\00:49:29.86
SHARE IT WITH OTHERS,
GOD RELEASES HIS POWER IN OUR
00:49:29.86\00:49:32.70
LIVES, AND LOVING THE
LORD MORE THAN OUR OWN LIVES.
00:49:32.70\00:49:36.67
ISN'T THAT WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO NEED IN THE LAST
00:49:36.67\00:49:38.24
DAYS, WHERE WE'D
RATHER DIE THAN DISOBEY?
00:49:38.24\00:49:41.24
"THEY LOVED NOT
THEIR LIVES TO THE DEATH."
00:49:41.24\00:49:43.41
AND THAT REALLY
MAKES YOU AN OVERCOMER.
00:49:43.41\00:49:45.41
IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU DEFEATED.
00:49:45.41\00:49:47.45
HEBREWS 12:1 AND 2,
"THEREFORE WE ALSO, SINCE
00:49:47.45\00:49:51.99
WE ARE SURROUNDED
BY SO GREAT A CLOUD OF
00:49:51.99\00:49:54.32
WITNESSES, LET US LAY
ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT, AND
00:49:54.32\00:49:57.59
THE SIN WHICH SO
EASILY ENSNARES US, AND LET US
00:49:57.59\00:50:00.66
RUN WITH ENDURANCE THE
RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE
00:50:00.66\00:50:02.93
US, LOOKING UNTO JESUS,
THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF
00:50:02.93\00:50:06.30
OUR FAITH," - SO WHAT'S
ANOTHER WAY THAT WE GAIN
00:50:06.30\00:50:10.51
THE VICTORY AGAINST THE DEVIL?
00:50:10.51\00:50:12.31
"SINCE WE'RE SURROUNDED
BY SO GREAT A CLOUD OF
00:50:12.31\00:50:14.01
WITNESSES" - WHAT CLOUD
OF WITNESSES - WHAT'S THE
00:50:14.01\00:50:17.31
CLOUD OF WITNESSES THAT
PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT HERE
00:50:17.31\00:50:20.02
IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 11?
HAVE YOU READ THE HALL OF
00:50:20.02\00:50:23.85
FAITH THAT HE MENTIONS -
ALL OF THE FAITHFUL THERE?
00:50:23.85\00:50:27.56
HE SAYS, 'SINCE YOU CAN
SEE THE EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE
00:50:27.56\00:50:29.89
JUST LIKE US' - AND YOU
SEE WHERE MOSES AND DAVID AND
00:50:29.89\00:50:34.00
GIDEON AND SAMSON AND ALL
THESE CHARACTERS THAT THEY
00:50:34.00\00:50:37.87
END UP BEING VICTORIOUS IN
THE END - HOW? THROUGH FAITH.
00:50:37.87\00:50:41.84
HE SAYS, 'LET US BE ENCOURAGED.
LET'S RUN THAT RACE AND
00:50:41.84\00:50:46.04
LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT
AND THE SIN THAT SO EASILY
00:50:46.04\00:50:50.08
ENSNARES US AND RUN WITH
ENDURANCE, WITH PATIENCE.
00:50:50.08\00:50:53.55
DON'T GIVE UP THE RACE
THAT'S BEFORE US.' HOW?
00:50:53.55\00:50:57.32
"LOOKING UNTO JESUS, THE
AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR
00:50:57.32\00:51:00.46
FAITH, WHO FOR THE JOY
THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM" -
00:51:00.46\00:51:03.46
LOOKING AHEAD - "ENDURED
THE CROSS, DESPISING THE
00:51:03.46\00:51:06.66
SHAME, AND HAS SAT DOWN
AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE
00:51:06.66\00:51:10.07
THRONE OF GOD."
AND SO CHRIST HAD THAT
00:51:10.07\00:51:11.77
VICTORY BY LOOKING
AHEAD. WE HAVE THE VICTORY THE
00:51:11.77\00:51:14.77
SAME WAY, THROUGH
FAITH. SO HERE WE'VE GIVEN -
00:51:14.77\00:51:18.04
WE'RE GIVEN THIS
EXAMPLE IN THE BIBLE.
00:51:18.04\00:51:20.28
WELL, FRIENDS, THIS IS

GREAT CALDERA WAS ONCE THE
00:52:26.17\00:52:29.08
BIGGEST VOLCANO IN THE
WORLD AND NOW IT HOLDS A
00:52:29.08\00:52:32.31
LAKE THAT HOLDS ANOTHER
VOLCANO THAT HAS ANOTHER
00:52:32.31\00:52:35.72
LITTLE LAKE IN IT THAT
HAS ANOTHER LITTLE ISLAND IN
00:52:35.72\00:52:39.05
IT. THIS VOLCANO HAS ERUPTED
00:52:39.05\00:52:40.96
SIX TIMES, IN A
MAJOR WAY, SINCE THE 1500S.
00:52:40.96\00:52:45.46
AND EVEN IN 1911 THERE
WAS AN ERUPTION WHERE OVER
00:52:45.46\00:52:48.16
1300 PEOPLE DIED -
KILLED BY THE SMOKE AND THE ASH
00:52:48.16\00:52:52.40
THAT COVERED THE COMMUNITY.
THERE WERE TSUNAMIS THAT
00:52:52.40\00:52:55.07
CAME FROM THE LAKE
AND DESTROYED THE VILLAGES
00:52:55.07\00:52:57.71
THAT SURROUNDED THE
BORDERS OF THE LAKE.
00:52:57.71\00:52:59.81
IN FACT, THIS IS ONE
OF THE MOST CAREFULLY
00:52:59.81\00:53:02.04
MONITORED SEISMIC
PLACES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
00:53:02.04\00:53:05.45
THIS VOLCANO IS
BEING WATCHED ALL THE TIME.
00:53:05.45\00:53:07.68
AND THEY'VE NOTICED, AS
OF 2006, THAT IT APPEARS THAT
00:53:07.68\00:53:11.32
THE WATER
TEMPERATURES ARE GOING UP.
00:53:11.32\00:53:13.39
THERE'S
INCREASED SEISMIC ACTIVITY.
00:53:13.39\00:53:15.66
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY
KNOW THAT THIS VOLCANO IS A
00:53:15.66\00:53:18.73
TICKING TIME BOMB
PREPARED TO BLOW AND IT'S VERY
00:53:18.73\00:53:21.86
INTERESTING BECAUSE THIS
PLACE IS A PLACE OF GREAT
00:53:21.86\00:53:24.43
SEISMIC ACTIVITY BUT,
IN SPITE OF THE FACT THE
00:53:24.43\00:53:27.77
VOLCANOLOGISTS KNOW
THIS IS GOING TO BLOW AGAIN
00:53:27.77\00:53:30.04
SOMEDAY, IT IS A
POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION.
00:53:30.04\00:53:32.61
THEIR FIGHTING
FOR THE REAL ESTATE.
00:53:32.61\00:53:34.14
THEIR BUILDING LIKE MAD AND
SIT ON THE EDGE OF DISASTER.
00:53:34.14\00:53:37.88
IT MAKES US THINK
ABOUT HOW GOD HAS GIVEN US SO
00:53:37.88\00:53:40.75
MANY WARNINGS, IN HIS
WORD, THAT THE WORLD IS
00:53:40.75\00:53:43.28
GOING TO END, THAT JESUS
IS GOING TO COME, THAT THE
00:53:43.28\00:53:45.85
HEAVENS'LL DISSOLVE
WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE
00:53:45.85\00:53:48.16
ELEMENTS WILL MELT WITH
FERVENT HEAT, SEEING THEN

WILL BE DISSOLVED, WHAT KIND OF
