00:01 I want to spend my life
00:07 Mending broken people 00:12 I want to spend my life 00:18 Removing pain 00:23 Lord, let my words 00:27 Let my word 00:29 Heal a heart that hurts 00:34 I want to spend my life 00:40 Mending broken people 00:45 I want to spend my life 00:51 Mending broken people 01:07 Hello, I'm Shelley Quinn 01:09 and we welcome you to 3ABN Today. 01:11 This is a wonderful day here 01:13 and we hope you're having an even better one. 01:16 We have something very special to talk to you about today 01:19 and let me start with a scripture 01:22 and you'll kind of get an idea where we're going. 01:24 The Bible says in Revelation 13:16 and 17. 01:29 He-- speaking of the second beast of Revelation. 01:32 "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, 01:36 free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand, 01:42 or on their foreheads, 01:44 and that no one can buy or sell except one 01:48 who has his mark or the name of the beast 01:52 and the number of his name." 01:54 We are speaking-- the scripture is speaking to 01:59 and referencing the mark of the beast. 02:02 This is something that's coming in the end days 02:04 and we believe we're getting mighty close to those end days, 02:07 aren't we, Brandon? 02:09 Let me introduce our special guest today. 02:11 This is Brandon Tygret. 02:12 He is 3ABN's product marketing manager. 02:17 And, Brandon, how long have you been at 3ABN? 02:20 I've been working here about a year and three months now. 02:22 That doesn't seem possible. 02:23 You just blink a few times and it passes right by. 02:26 Isn't that the truth? I just can't believe you. 02:29 My mother always told me that the older you got, 02:31 the faster time went by 02:33 and I can testify, at 66 years old 02:36 I can testify that it seems that life is just whizzing by 02:40 but all the young people are saying that as well. 02:44 And I think the reason is 02:46 because time of the end is at hand. 02:47 Yes, it's true. 02:49 Well, we're very excited that you're on the program today 02:52 and I think you're going to enjoy 02:54 what Brandon has to share. 02:56 But first we have a special person with us 03:00 who's going to bring us some beautiful music 03:03 and his name is Johann Sentana. 03:06 He's a pianist and he's going to be playing 03:09 "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing." 08:03 Well, that was Johann Sentana 08:04 and we thank him so much for coming 08:07 and sharing his gift from God with us. 08:10 You know, we're very blessed to have 08:12 so many talented musicians in our church 08:14 and those people all of them come here 08:17 just to share from their heart 08:19 because they're not coming for pay. 08:21 We're very thankful that they dedicated 08:23 their talents to the Lord. 08:24 Well, if you're joining us just a moment later, 08:26 special guest today is Brandon Tygret, 08:29 who is 3ABN's product marketing manager. 08:32 Now, Brandon, I know you've been on time 08:35 or two before but there's lot of people 08:38 probably who still don't know you 08:40 so let's talk a little bit about who is Brandon Tygret. 08:45 Did you grow up in a Christian home? 08:48 No, well, I did grow up in a Christian home. 08:50 We went to nondenominational church 08:52 but we really didn't start going 08:53 till I was about 10 or 11 years old. 08:55 Okay. Steadily. 08:57 All right, and then what was your experience like? 09:02 I really enjoyed it, whenever I was going to church, 09:06 would go to the youth group meetings on Wednesday 09:09 and would even take people on the football team with me. 09:13 So when I was younger, 09:15 I was really into the church thing 09:17 until I got to the later teens 09:20 and then kind of drifted away from the Lord. 09:23 So how did God get your attention again? 09:26 Well, I was pretty stubborn, 09:28 a lot of things happened in my life 09:31 where the Lord kind of pulled back his protection 09:34 and things would happen 09:35 and then I would come back to Him 09:37 and eventually I struggled with drugs and alcohol 09:41 and, you know, eventually I just got to the point 09:44 where I was tired of it all 09:45 and I just wanted to have victory over that 09:49 and to have a new and different life. 09:51 And so I prayed to God to teach me the truth, 09:56 the whole truth and nothing but the truth 09:58 and when He did that, 10:00 He did that by using Three Angels Broadcasting Network. 10:03 Praise God. 10:04 And that was around the same time 10:05 that they had that Ten Commandments 10:07 Twice Removed project going on and that spoke to my heart. 10:12 Praise the Lord. 10:13 So you've been watching 3ABN, then did you-- tell us 10:18 how you actually ended up joining the church. 10:20 Well, a friend called me up on my birthday in 2007 10:26 and said I found the truth, now this is a couple of weeks 10:29 after I prayed that prayer and he was telling me 10:32 about all these programs he was watching on 3ABN 10:35 so I went to his house and I watched it 10:37 and I saw that they were teaching me 10:40 biblical truths with the Bible 10:42 and I said this is the answer to my prayer. 10:45 I said what church is this? 10:47 And he said, it's the Seventh-day Adventist church. 10:49 And I've never heard of Seventh-day Adventist before 10:51 so we-- next we went that weekend to the closest church 10:56 we could find there in Nashville first. 10:58 And they had-- they took us back. 11:02 This is really important for churches to do, 11:03 when you see new people come in, get to know them, 11:07 they took us back and prayed with us 11:09 and that made it really personable and... 11:12 Praise the Lord. 11:13 So we went back there 11:14 and they had these stacks of books in there 11:16 and as I was watching 3ABN days prior to this, 11:22 they were talking about the Ten Commandments project 11:24 and so I told them we really wanted that book 11:27 and they said, well, you see all these cases right here, 11:29 those are all Ten Commandment books. 11:31 And I said, you know, this weekend 11:33 there is a Christian event downtown 11:36 where they're gonna have 11:38 on Riverfront in Nashville, Tennessee, 11:40 and so I said, if you'll give us a couple of boxes, 11:43 Kevin and I will go down to Riverfront, 11:45 pass these books out. 11:47 And so they did, they gave us two boxes 11:49 and I went out and talked to Mike Hyde 11:52 on the way out that Sabbath 11:53 and we talked for probably an hour standing by his truck 11:56 and he said, look, if you run out of books, 11:58 just give me a call, then I'll bring you some more. 12:01 So we went down there the next day to Riverfront 12:05 and there was thousands of Christians there 12:08 and the streets were full 12:10 and we were passing these books out 12:12 and before an hour passed, we had 200 books passed out. 12:15 Praise the Lord. 12:16 And so I called Mike up and I said, look, remember 12:18 we met you in church this weekend, you said 12:21 if we ran out of books, you'd bring us more. 12:23 I said we're out of books 12:24 and we've only been doing this for an hour 12:26 so he brought 800 more books and he even gave me 12:29 a Ten Commandments t-shirt and then we passed out 12:34 1,000 books that day, that night 12:37 and it ended up being a major blessing. 12:40 Now at that time I'd only read a few chapters in the book 12:42 but I felt impressed by the Holy Spirit, 12:44 this is what God wanted me to do. 12:46 And so four months later, 12:49 they had another event called The Call 12:51 where they were expecting 60,000 Christians 12:54 to show up at this event 12:56 and so we had 10,000 Ten Commandment books, 12:59 we had a total of 44,000 books altogether. 13:02 And so that day we passed out 38,000 books 13:05 and 10,000 of those were Ten Commandments Twice Removed. 13:08 Amazing, but let me ask you a question 13:10 because that was interesting. 13:11 You said when the Lord first impressed you 13:13 to pass these books out, 13:14 of course you'd been watching the television 13:17 so you were pretty convinced of the truth, 13:19 so you trusted, you'd only read four chapters, 13:22 did you go back then and really study in this book 13:26 and make sure what you're passing out 13:28 you felt comfortable with? 13:29 Yes, a good question because, you know, 13:32 soon after you start following the Lord, 13:35 you're gonna get ridiculed, 13:36 you're gonna get persecuted in some ways 13:38 and so my family kind of started, 13:40 you know, what are you doing, 13:41 you're going to this Saturday church, you know? 13:44 And I found out there's a little history 13:47 of Seventh-day Adventism in my family. 13:49 Really? 13:50 And so it all started making sense years later 13:52 when I found that out. 13:53 But I just started questioning, you know, like Satan was 13:59 of course giving me all these ideas, 14:01 maybe this isn't it, you know? 14:03 So I started reading a lot heavier 14:05 in the Ten Commandments Twice Removed 14:07 and I had the Bible next to me and I would read 14:09 and I would go to my Bible and I'd read 14:11 and then go to my Bible and I almost wanted to find 14:14 something wrong with it, 14:15 you know, just so I could stop that persecution, 14:18 you know, but then I found that 14:21 it lined up with up the scriptures. 14:23 And there was no way 14:24 that I could find anything wrong with it. 14:27 So, you know, I decided instead of to allow the ridicule 14:31 and persecution to pull me away, 14:34 I decided to say, you know what, 14:35 I'm gonna stand on the word of God. 14:36 Amen. 14:38 Just like Peter said, you know, who should we obey? 14:42 You the Pharisees, the religious leaders or God? 14:45 We will obey God so you did. 14:47 Now it's interesting to me 14:49 that you did become a member of the church, 14:51 you married a beautiful Seventh-day Adventist woman 14:54 and they have the cutest little boy 14:56 who is about 15 months old now. 14:58 He's two years old. 14:59 Two years old now, he's two and his name Isaac 15:02 and we just have fun watching him in church, 15:04 he's so precious. 15:06 But you then, this passing out all of these books, 15:11 you had a successful business of your own, 15:14 but tell us how God was laying the groundwork 15:17 having you pass out these books, 15:20 what did God call you to do, Brandon? 15:22 Well, you know, it's interesting 15:25 that before I came into the church, 15:27 I was struggling with like depression and things like this 15:31 and I really haven't struggled with that since. 15:33 And there's a couple of things that I did different. 15:36 I started following God's commandments, number one. 15:38 Number two, I started sharing my faith. 15:41 And the way that I shared was through literature 15:44 and because all those things 15:45 that you want to be able to say to your friends 15:47 and even people you don't know to explain what you believe, 15:51 they're well said in literature. 15:54 So I started passing literature out and, you know, 15:57 I didn't even know that there was 15:59 literature evangelist out there at that time 16:02 but it was about maybe a year and a half to two years later, 16:07 somebody asked me if I wanted to be 16:08 a literature evangelist and I said, 16:12 what exactly does that mean, you know? 16:14 And so he explained it to me, 16:15 we talked for like three hours at his home. 16:17 Well, explain quickly what a literature evangelist does. 16:19 Well, there's different types of literature evangelism. 16:21 You have the literature evangelist 16:25 that we all should be by sharing our faith 16:27 through literature 16:28 and that's usually free literature 16:30 that we pass out to people. 16:32 Then you have a student literature evangelist 16:35 and a student literature evangelist sells the maga books 16:40 and things like that to help them through school. 16:42 What's a maga book? 16:43 A maga book is a magazine book, 16:45 it's the size of a magazine but it's an actual book. 16:47 All right. 16:48 And so they sell these books, it helps them through school 16:51 and it's more of a part-time kind of thing. 16:54 And then you have a career literature evangelist 16:56 who, that's all they do, it's a fulltime. 17:00 They sell books and that's what they-- 17:02 that's how they get their income. 17:04 And so that's what I stepped into, 17:07 I went from passing free literature out 17:09 to being a career literature evangelist 17:12 and selling Bible storybooks and health books 17:15 and maga books and things of that nature. 17:18 All right, and then you actually 17:19 then progressed to become a supervisor 17:22 as over other literature evangelists 17:27 but now God's brought you here to 3ABN, 17:30 we're gonna have to fast-forward, 17:32 God brought you to 3ABN 17:33 and we have no question in our mind, one thing that-- 17:38 we don't worry about our staffing if you will, 17:43 one thing that I know Mollie does 17:45 and everybody here is if somebody feels like 17:48 they need to move on to another job, 17:50 we just feel like God's calling them out to another job 17:53 and we don't worry about it. 17:54 We just pray that God will bring in the people 17:58 who are necessary. 17:59 Now when it came to Brandon, 18:02 when he came, everybody knew God sent him 18:05 and they created a position for him, 18:07 because we never had a product marketing manager before. 18:11 Now, Brandon, it is a true ministry to you, 18:14 I know your heart and Brandon is a very sincere Christian, 18:18 he's very involved Christian and he's working with our youth 18:22 at our church now and it just-- 18:25 we love you and Dolly and your family, it's precious. 18:30 But when you came here, you got an idea, 18:33 I don't know how many months ago this was, 18:36 but you suddenly got an idea to do a maga book. 18:41 And the maga book is the magazine 18:45 that literature evangelist-- 18:46 I mean, it's a book in a magazine size 18:49 that literature evangelist get out. 18:51 Tell us a little about that book? 18:53 Okay. 18:54 Well, what happened was the weekend 18:57 that we were coming up to, moved to 3ABN, 19:03 we stopped in Chattanooga with some family 19:05 and stayed the weekend there with them 19:08 and we were at a church there at McDonald Road church 19:12 and I was kneeling down in congregational prayer 19:16 and this thought came to my mind, 19:18 turn the Ten Commandments Twice Removed into a maga book. 19:22 And I said wow, that's a wonderful idea 19:24 so the Lord really gave me that idea, 19:28 you know, it really wasn't mine 19:31 because I'm in prayer and in plainest day 19:34 I felt impressed by the Holy Spirit to do this. 19:37 And so when I came to 3ABN and shared some of the ideas 19:41 and things I thought that we should do in marketing 19:45 some of our materials was we should make 19:48 The Antichrist Agenda Revealed maga book. 19:52 And the reason why I chose The Antichrist Agenda 19:56 is the same thing as the Ten Commandments Twice Removed 19:58 but it has five more chapters, 20:01 it goes more into the mark of the beast, into prophecy 20:04 and so there's a lot more 20:06 biblical understanding in that book. 20:09 Yeah, and I have to say in full disclosure, 20:11 it's interesting to sit here to interview you right now 20:15 because I'm one of the coauthors 20:17 for The Antichrist Agenda, 20:20 original title was The Antichrist Agenda 20:23 and this was the book from which 20:27 the Ten Commandments Twice Removed 20:29 was an abridged version if you will, it was part of that book. 20:34 And I had the very distinct privilege 20:36 of coauthoring this with Danny Shelton 20:40 and I had privilege of writing this 20:42 but the book, the difference between the anti-- 20:47 the Ten Commandments Twice Removed 20:51 and The Antichrist Agenda 20:53 is this book has five more chapters 20:56 and the chapters are the antichrist beast that-- 21:01 it's actually two different chapters, 21:02 part one and part two. 21:04 Christ returns after the mark 21:07 so that this was too overcome the left behind idea, 21:11 then we explained the mark of the beast 21:14 and after explaining the mark of the beast, 21:16 we thought it was important that I add resting 21:18 in His everlasting arms to show about assurance of salvation 21:22 and then it's got all the rest of the chapters 21:24 that were in the Ten Commandments 21:26 Twice Removed book 21:28 and for those you who aren't familiar with that, 21:30 this was something, 21:32 I realize suddenly I'm talking to the choir 21:34 because there's been over eight million 21:36 I believe books of Ten Commandments given out 21:39 and we've seen a lot of people 21:41 who've accepted the Sabbath truth 21:43 and that's essentially the Ten Commandments, 21:46 let me just tell you what this entire book covers. 21:50 It has about God's two covenants, 21:55 it talks about the Lord's day and whether or not 21:59 the Ten Commandments were given before Mount Sinai. 22:03 It talks about how they changed to the fourth commandment, 22:07 the Sabbath commandment was made by the Catholic Church 22:11 and they proudly claim that 22:13 so that's nothing that that is a secret. 22:18 So there's actually I guess nine chapters in the first 22:22 or in the abridged book 22:24 but we've now put it all back together 22:26 and you felt it was important to do the entire teaching 22:32 to include prophecy 22:34 and talking about the antichrist beast, 22:38 talking about the mark of the beast. 22:42 How did you float this idea? 22:45 Even though I was one of the authors, 22:47 I didn't hear about this till it was nearly the end, 22:50 I came and made some edits to the book 22:53 but how did you float this idea? 22:55 Did you float it by other people first to see, 22:59 other literature evangelists would be interesting in this? 23:01 How does this, how does it come about 23:03 that a book's turned into a maga book? 23:05 Well, really, when I was canvassing, 23:09 especially when I was doing the leadership 23:11 in training literature evangelist, 23:13 most of the literature evangelists liked to give out 23:15 the Ten Commandments Twice Removed, 23:17 that was one of their free pieces of literature 23:19 that they would give out 23:20 and so it was also one of my favorite ones, 23:23 you know, when I had them 23:24 I would give that one out over any other 23:27 and so I already knew 23:30 that literature evangelists liked the book 23:32 and then I started thinking about 23:35 when we started this project, 23:37 what were some of the best things in a maga book 23:40 that I liked and thought were good features. 23:43 And so when we were doing this book, 23:45 I said, I want to make sure 23:46 that we have all of those good features 23:48 that are in most maga books 23:51 and of course images are very important. 23:54 So we did an image before every chapter 23:58 that kind of goes along with the title of the chapter 24:01 and then we also wanted to talk about the Bible promises 24:04 as you see on the screen there, 24:06 there is quite a few pages in there 24:08 that just have scripture 24:10 and talk about the promises of God 24:12 that we can lean on. 24:13 And then there's studies 24:15 throughout the whole entire book 24:17 that are highlighted, there's pull quotes 24:20 that are shown in the book where they'll show larger image 24:24 and some of the powerful statements 24:27 that are made will be right in the center of the book. 24:31 There is also graphs in the book 24:33 that show about prophecy. 24:34 They're beautifully illustrated, yes. 24:36 And there's notes in the back of the book as well 24:39 and, you know, so we have all of the best things 24:43 that maga books have in this one maga book right here. 24:47 And did you talk with other literature evangelists 24:53 or is anybody interested in this? 24:54 There was-- as I was putting this together, 24:58 I wanted to make sure to be 25:00 in contact with publishing people 25:04 that are doing the literature work fulltime 25:06 and to make sure that we made this the way 25:10 that they would like it 25:12 so as we were going through doing things, 25:15 we made a few changes that they wanted to see. 25:19 One of them, we had to change the cover 25:21 because we wanted to make sure that everybody liked the cover, 25:25 we really liked the first one we had 25:27 but we wanted to do what they needed 25:29 and so we also wanted to make sure 25:33 that it had 3ABN advertisement in the back 25:38 so that when somebody gets through reading this, 25:40 they can actually find out how to watch 3ABN 25:44 in the back of the maga book 25:46 and so then in the back of the maga book, 25:48 it also has the Bible studies where people can go online 25:52 and do free Bible studies 25:53 or they can mail in to do Bible studies 25:56 as well to learn more about these truths 25:59 that they've been learning in this book. 26:01 You know, one thing that we do 26:03 in The Antichrist Agenda Revealed 26:06 is we do explain about the antichrist beast, 26:11 we talk about the beast powers, I mean, we're comparing 26:15 this is the prophecy of Daniel and Revelation, 26:18 we talk about the different methods of interpretation, 26:22 there is the historicist, the futurist, 26:24 the preterist, and the idealist, 26:28 and so as we are explaining these 26:32 and the origin how two Jesuits preach, 26:35 you know, the historicist, 26:38 if I were to explain in just very briefly, 26:41 the historicist method of interpretation 26:43 and this prevailed till after the 5th century AD. 26:47 The historicists believed 26:49 that prophecy was given in visionary circles, 26:53 it was a repeat and enlarged 26:56 so the topic would be introduced in Daniel 27:00 as also you see in Revelation 27:02 and then suddenly in the next chapter 27:05 he would repeat and enlarge, 27:07 so it's something that through the repetition, 27:12 there's more details to expand your understanding 27:16 and a lot of people would be absolutely-- 27:20 many, many Christians would be shocked to know 27:23 that the whole idea of this left behind series, 27:29 see historicists think that it's history, 27:32 prophecy follows history, it's history written in advance 27:38 but what we have is the futurist viewpoint 27:42 which was created during the reformation 27:47 to counteract the reformation 27:49 that Catholic Church actually consigned two people 27:56 to write some kind of interpretation 28:00 to do away with the historicist method 28:03 because that really had a big surge. 28:06 And so then we had two Jesuit priests, 28:08 one who came up with this idea of futurism 28:12 where they lop off the final week of the 70 weeks in Daniel 28:16 and put it clear at the end 28:18 and this is where the left behind theory came from. 28:22 Preterist theory, another Jesuit priest 28:24 who says everything happened in the past, 28:27 you know, he's attributing the antichrist beast being 28:31 as Nero and the Macrobians and some things. 28:34 So when you start studying and seeing this, 28:38 it's not just understanding 28:40 how the change to God's commandments came 28:43 but when you are identifying 28:46 and I think this is in the abridged version, 28:51 Ten Commandments Twice Removed, 28:54 we did a pretty good job, the Lord led 28:57 and it was a pretty good job of explaining 28:59 how the Catholic Church clearly takes 29:01 all the credit for changing it, 29:03 whether or not they had the authority 29:07 to change the fourth commandment, 29:09 but now what we do in the original 29:14 or The Antichrist Agenda Revealed 29:17 is to show that no one has received 29:22 the mark of the beast yet 29:24 but the Sabbath commandment, the fourth commandment, 29:26 will become front and center, I mean, 29:28 it's center staged in the end times 29:31 and we go through and identify the eight points that tell 29:37 who is this beast power and are clearly, let me-- 29:44 I think we'll just take a minute to do that 29:45 'cause you wanted to talk about this just a little bit. 29:49 When we see the-- in Daniel 2, Daniel 7 and Daniel 8, 29:56 it's a history written in advance 29:58 of the kingdoms of Babylon, 30:00 Medo-Persia, Greece, the Roman empire 30:03 and then the ten toes on an image 30:05 that is the division of the Roman Empire 30:08 and then Daniel sees a little horn coming up on this beast 30:15 and he describes this little horn in this way. 30:20 He said it rises from among ten horns 30:23 which were the nations of Western Europe, 30:25 he says, I was considering this horn, 30:27 little one's coming up among them. 30:29 This is Daniel 7:8. 30:31 Then he says that the little horn power arises 30:34 after the other ten monarchies and it's different. 30:38 The ten horns he says, "are ten kings 30:43 who shall arise from this kingdom 30:45 and another shall rise after them, 30:48 who shall be different from the first ones 30:49 and shall subdue three kings." 30:51 Daniel 7:24, then he says, The little horn destroys 30:55 three of the ten monarchs erasing them, 30:58 blotting them out from-- this is Daniel 7:8 31:01 and actually history records this blotting out 31:06 which I'll say in just a moment. 31:07 Then he says the little horn has the eyes of a man 31:10 and a boastful mouth. 31:11 The little horn is greater than the others 31:14 and he speaks in such a way that he shows that, 31:19 the little horn makes war against God's people. 31:23 The little horn speaks pompously toward God 31:26 and things to alter His times and His laws. 31:30 He says he shall speak pompous words 31:32 against the Most High 31:33 and persecute the saints of the Most High 31:36 and shall intend to change times and law. 31:38 It's Daniel 7:25. 31:41 The little horn power persecutes the saints 31:43 for 1,260 years. 31:46 And as we go through and I'm just kind of giving you 31:49 a quick synopsis here. 31:52 There's only one government power, 31:55 I mean, there's only one power that fits all ten of these 32:01 or eight of these markers and that's clearly papal Rome. 32:05 It's the only power to perfectly fit 32:07 these eight descriptive points of the little horn power. 32:11 And the book goes through to prove this. 32:13 Now, I want to say something very quickly. 32:17 We are not trying to-- I believe with all of my heart 32:24 and I know Danny believes this as well, 32:26 there's gonna be many wonderful 32:28 Catholic Christians in heaven. 32:30 Absolutely. 32:31 But it is very important to know 32:34 that a change has been made to God's law 32:37 because this little horn power who really becomes prevalent 32:43 in Revelation in the last days, this little horn power 32:47 who Revelation says received a deadly wound 32:52 but then was basically resurrected, 32:57 the wound was healed if you will. 32:59 This little horn power is the antichrist power. 33:04 Now there's many, you know, there's only four scriptures 33:06 that talk about antichrist and Paul clearly says 33:10 there were antichrist in his day 33:12 and he says that there are people 33:13 who go out from the church 33:16 but it's important to understand 33:19 what's coming in the last days 33:22 and that's what the book does, is explains that. 33:25 You had some points that you told me 33:28 you wanted to share about the healing of the wound. 33:32 Yes. 33:33 Well, just this last year 33:35 we've seen a lot of healing of the wound, 33:37 I have some notes right here. 33:40 And once again, what do we mean 33:41 when we say healing of the wound? 33:42 Well, the Rome trying to unify the Christians again, 33:48 they want to do away with the reformation 33:52 and the Protestants and say let's just unify 33:56 even though we have a difference in doctrine. 33:59 And so he's been doing that this last year 34:04 in the headlines there's- - 34:05 He being the pope. Yep, the pope. 34:07 This new Pope Francis, 34:11 he called for unity between Protestants and Catholics. 34:15 This is where pastors like Kenneth Copeland 34:17 and Tony Palmer were agreeing with the pope 34:21 and saying that the protest is over, 34:25 and that's not true, the protest is not over 34:29 but for those Christians that don't even know 34:30 what a Protestant is, they say, oh, yeah, sure, it's over, 34:34 we like the pope, you know. 34:36 We forget what most Protestants don't even know 34:38 what it means to be a Protestant anymore, do we? 34:40 That's right, that's right. 34:42 Then there's another one, Pope Francis was invited 34:46 to join a joint session in congress, 34:49 this means they're interested 34:51 in his guidance in our own congress 34:55 and that's another Bible prophecy 34:57 being fulfilled there. 34:59 Then the pope advised the United Nations in economics 35:03 so the United Nations, the UN is really big 35:07 on trying to keep peace and unite. 35:10 You know, in the Bible it talks about 35:12 how they'll be preaching peace and safety 35:14 and then sudden destruction cometh. 35:17 So, you know, I think that 35:19 that's another Bible prophecy being fulfilled. 35:22 The pope speaks to 53,000 35:25 charismatic Christians in a conference 35:28 and this is another proof 35:30 that the deadly wound is healed, 35:31 you know, there's a multiple, you know, 35:34 in this conference different denominations that were there 35:38 and he's there to speak to all of them, 35:41 Protestants and Catholics. 35:43 And so pope's first visit to the Middle East 35:47 to promote peace between the nations 35:49 was another event. 35:51 Pope meets with two US televangelist 35:53 to have a private lunch, this is interesting, 35:56 here they signed a declaration of faith 35:58 and unity on the anniversary of Martin Luther's 95 theses. 36:04 So that right there, for those didn't know 36:08 what the Protestant is, 36:09 it started with Martin Luther in a big way. 36:11 Right. 36:13 And so that was kind of my sly way to say 36:17 let's do away with that. 36:19 And what we're saying here 36:21 is that the Bible clearly describes 36:24 this little horn power, this second beast as being, 36:31 it come-- something that comes out of the church, 36:35 it is someone or a system, a religious system 36:39 that is taking the place of Christ, 36:43 you know, when we talk about an antichrist, 36:45 we think it's somebody that's against Christ, 36:48 that's not, what the word here means is it's someone 36:52 who is putting themselves in the place of Christ. 36:55 And we're not pointing fingers at any individual. 36:57 We're talking about a religious system, a set of beliefs. 37:02 And at one point in time this was nearly squashed 37:09 but it has been raised back up to prominence 37:13 and we see that we have one of the most popular popes 37:18 that has ever I think during my lifetime 37:22 and he's a precious man. 37:24 And he is very popular among the nations, 37:27 so we see that the wound has been healed 37:30 but no matter how wonderful he is, 37:33 and I think he's a wonderful man. 37:34 I think he's a very humble man, 37:38 but no matter how wonderful he is, 37:41 if he's representing error, then he's leading-- 37:48 the system is leading God's people astray. 37:52 Yeah. 37:53 And the things are being setup, 37:56 if we look at Revelation, if we look at Daniel, 38:00 we see that end times are coming 38:02 and things are getting setup 38:04 so if you want to share with your friends 38:09 the idea of why is the fourth commandment important, 38:16 why is it not only important for us 38:19 to keep God's prescribed Lord's day, 38:22 His day of the week that He calls us to 38:28 and commands us to worship on, 38:30 but also if you want your friends 38:31 to understand why it's more, 38:34 it's not just important for the matter of worship today 38:38 but how worship is what Satan is seeking 38:43 and how he sets up a false sense of worship 38:45 and it has been setup, 38:47 if you want them to understand prophecy, 38:49 this is kind of the cliff notes, 38:52 the short way of understanding prophecy, 38:55 the 70 weeks of Daniel, the 2,300 days 38:59 and what the Bible has to say 39:01 about the true return of Jesus Christ. 39:05 And well, I'll tell you what, 39:07 when you look at it, the scripture, 39:09 'cause I used to believe in the Left Behind's theory 39:12 and when I came to study the Bible on my own, 39:17 it was like you got to be kidding, there's no way. 39:20 So tell us quickly 'cause our time is running out, 39:24 if someone-- we make this book available for, 39:29 and you can buy a single copy 39:31 of The Antichrist Agenda Revealed or cases? 39:35 We have both, you can buy 39:37 just a single book and that's $14.99. 39:40 So individually priced it's $14.99, 39:42 that's a beautiful book for that amount. 39:44 What are the case prices? 39:46 What does it come out per a book? 39:48 And there's what, 25 to a case? Yes, there's 25 to a case. 39:52 If you buy 1-3 cases, it's $4 per book. 39:56 All right. 39:57 If you buy 4-19 cases, it's $3.75 per book. 40:03 If you buy 20-39 cases, it's $3 per book 40:08 and if you buy 40-199 cases, it's $2 per book. 40:12 That's starting right at 1,000, 40:13 so if you buy 1,000, you get them for $2. 40:16 Yeah, so that's $50 a case, that's incredible. 40:20 So then we have, if you buy 200 or more cases, 40:24 it's at a $1.85 per book. 40:27 And so we've already had somebody buy 5,000. 40:30 So it works out really good 40:31 if you get together with a few people 40:33 and buy it in bulk so that way you get it cheaper. 40:36 Sure. 40:37 And, you know, it's really good for the literature program, 40:40 it's also good for our own personal ministry. 40:42 And, you know, this is such a beautiful book 40:45 and as I said even at $14.95 40:47 it's a beautiful book for that price, 40:49 but to think that for a case at $4, 40:53 just if you got one case, that's $100 for 25 books, 40:58 $4 per book, now to think that you could give this 41:01 as a gift for $4 per book is amazing. 41:04 Yes. 41:05 You know, I was reading about end time events the other day 41:09 and it had this quote in here 41:11 where it was talking about the second coming of Jesus 41:14 and we see these things happening, 41:17 you know, when Jesus comes back, 41:18 the earth starts shaking and things like that 41:20 and neighbors are saying, what is this? 41:22 And we say, oh, well, this is Jesus coming back. 41:25 And they say, well, why didn't you tell me? 41:28 And so I don't want to be that person, 41:30 I don't want to be that person when my neighbor says, 41:32 why didn't you tell me Jesus was coming back? 41:35 And this beautiful book right here is a good way 41:38 to show your neighbor, your friends, 41:39 your coworkers, your family members 41:42 that Jesus is coming back 41:44 and what the mark of the beast is 41:46 and who God's character is, this book talks a lot about 41:49 who God's character is, so many people 41:51 have a misunderstanding of who God is 41:54 and so here it shows who He is and He is a loving God 41:58 and that He does care about 42:00 every individual on planet earth. 42:03 And, you know, one thing that when I was writing the book 42:06 that was extremely important to me was-- 42:08 well, actually there were two things, 42:10 number one is that people would understand 42:13 the true return of Christ, 42:15 what the Bible has to say about when He's coming. 42:18 Because if you understand, I mean, clearly from scripture, 42:21 you just lineup scripture upon scripture, 42:23 we see that Christ returns for us 42:27 after the mark of the beast. 42:30 Unlike the popular series "Left Behind", 42:33 they have the newest one out with Nicolas Cage 42:36 and anybody that has big-- 42:37 That's a movie, yes? 42:38 Yeah, it's a movie and they're using these big actors 42:42 these days to play these parts like with "Noah", 42:45 they had Russell Crowe and with "Exodus" 42:49 they had Christian Bale and now here 42:52 with the "Left Behind" movie that's come out, 42:55 that has that false understanding 42:56 that Jesus is gonna come back 42:58 after the 7 years of tribulation, 43:00 everybody's gonna have a second chance. 43:02 And so this book right here 43:05 will help to counteract that counterfeit. 43:07 Amen, amen. 43:08 And that, so that was important to me is that 43:11 and it's just a pretty simple straightforward Bible study 43:15 to show that without too much commentary 43:18 because you can so easily prove that from the Bible. 43:21 But the second thing that was really important to me 43:24 was that it was not leaving people, 43:29 would not leave people without a feeling of hope 43:32 that you could feel, that's why the chapter 43:36 the resting in His everlasting arms 43:38 that you could have assurance of salvation, 43:41 assurance of God's protection 43:43 because sometimes we tell the story of end days 43:45 and we have people just scared and we try to-- some people 43:50 I think try to motivate people through fear 43:52 but the sad thing is if someone is motivated by fear, 43:56 that motivation won't last that long. 43:59 We need our motivation to be motivation by love for Christ. 44:02 And, you know, Jesus says in the Bible 44:05 or it says in the Bible that when you see 44:08 these things coming rejoice 44:10 because your redemption draweth nigh. 44:12 So instead of our hearts failing us 44:14 because of fear, let's rejoice and be happy 44:17 and proud as Seventh-day Adventist Christians 44:20 sharing our faith with confidence, 44:23 you know, by sharing literature like this. 44:26 You know, I think that what we ought to do 44:29 is put up an address for you 44:32 so that if you want to order either 44:35 just your own individual copy 44:37 so that you can know and understand this, 44:41 it really is a simple way to understand prophecy 44:44 and the end time events, or if you want to order a case 44:48 that you can spread out 44:50 and pass out in your neighborhood, 44:52 here's how you can get The Antichrist Agenda Revealed. 45:01 If you would like to get the book, 45:03 The Antichrist Agenda Revealed, then you can write to 3ABN, 45:07 P.O.
