00:07 Mending broken people 00:12 I want to spend 00:15 My life 00:18 Removing pain 00:23 Lord, let my words 00:30 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, and welcome to a very special 01:09 3ABN Today program. 01:11 My name is C.A. Murray 01:12 and allow me once again to thank you 01:14 for your love, your prayers, your support of this ministry 01:16 because we realize that we could not do 01:18 what we are called to do without your partnership, 01:21 without your consistent prayers, 01:23 your consistent support 01:24 and so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 01:26 I'm joined by Danny Shelton, 01:27 our founder, our friend, our president. 01:29 It's privileged to be here today 01:30 and we brought our Bibles. 01:32 Yeah, we got our Bibles open. You know, we're studying. 01:33 We want you to get your Bibles or your iPads 01:35 or whatever it is you use nowadays 01:38 because I think our pastor over here 01:39 has a Bible and an iPad. 01:41 Is that right, John? 01:42 That's right. You have to be fully ready. 01:43 Got both, all right. I'm ready to give an answer. 01:46 So and I didn't name to take your, 01:49 didn't mean to take your thunder 01:50 and introduce the guest but I did. 01:52 In deed you did. 01:53 Start, well, since I did that Pastor John Lomacang 01:56 and Dr. Yvonne Lewis. Good to be here. 01:58 I'm used to sitting in that chair. 02:00 Indeed, we can switch anytime. 02:01 Anytime you're ready. 02:02 No, I ask him to sit there. You know, why? 02:04 Because it's easier in this chair than your chair. 02:07 Indeed. 02:08 So I've just got my Bible today, 02:09 I want to follow through. 02:11 We're gonna do some wonderful topic 02:13 and the reason I think it's wonderful 02:15 is because it has to do with here and now. 02:17 Yeah. That's right. 02:18 We're kind of juxtaposing the word and the world 02:21 and maybe we even call it the word in a world 02:22 because we are going into the word 02:24 and through the word look at the world that surround us. 02:27 And look at the things that we are called to face 02:29 as a people. 02:30 And I said this just this past Sabbath, Pastor John, 02:32 that the one thing that is incumbent upon Adventism, 02:36 upon Adventist, you don't get to take vacations. 02:41 You don't get to sleep. You don't get time off. 02:43 You don't get time out. Okay. 02:46 The call is for vigilance. That's right. 02:48 You got to have your eyes open and your head up always, 02:50 and if you do put your head down, 02:52 it may be in the Word. 02:53 But then up to the hills, from whence cometh your help 02:56 because the times in which you live 02:58 are exciting times but they are dangerous times, 03:01 there are times you should be awake and alert 03:02 and of course you've been doing some study, 03:04 we've all been doing some study 03:05 and you are gonna bring some things to us today 03:07 as we look at where we are in the history of this Word. 03:10 As you well said, Danny, many times it's late. 03:13 I mean, Christ is coming soon. So we need to be aware. 03:15 So from time to time, 03:17 we want to kind of come together 03:18 in this kind of setting with our Bibles open, 03:20 looking at the topics that are current, 03:22 that affects you as a church, that affects you as a people, 03:25 maybe you are not even in the Adventist church yet, 03:27 but that doesn't mean you are immune to the times 03:30 and to the affects of things that are going on in this world 03:32 that are going to impact your life, 03:34 your past, your present and dare I say, your future. 03:36 Tell me... 03:37 Name anybody who is not interested 03:39 in the future right now 03:41 more than ever anytime since I've been alive 03:44 and that's been a long time by the way 03:46 and some of the rest of the folk here know 03:48 because Yvonne and C.A. 03:49 you are pretty close to me here so... 03:51 Now why you have to bring that up? 03:52 John's a little younger. 03:54 Why you have to bring that up? 03:56 You look younger so we'll give you that. 03:57 I'm a teenager in the group. 03:59 We won't argue about that for sure, 04:02 but honestly my whole lifetime never has there been a time 04:07 you every day now when you turn on, 04:09 has been this way for sometime, the news, 04:11 it's what's gonna happen. Yes. 04:14 You have ISIS. 04:15 We have all these things around the world. 04:17 Paris, now what's happening? 04:19 Airports, you know, everybody is interested, 04:21 that's why lot of them turn on the news. 04:23 Well, I'm planning on traveling here, 04:25 can I go there? 04:26 Someone I just talked to the other day 04:28 cancelled a Philippines trip. 04:29 The state department said, don't travel. 04:32 It's a terrible time that we are living in 04:36 if there was no Jesus. 04:38 If there is no God, 04:40 this would be a terrible time to be alive. 04:42 Might as well go out and shoot myself, you know. 04:44 No, I wouldn't. 04:45 Of course, but I'm saying, 04:46 it's a terrible time to be alive 04:48 unless you know Jesus. 04:49 Now, we don't have to, 04:51 we don't have to worry about what's gonna happen. 04:53 That's right. Right? 04:54 Consider the lilies of the fields, right. 04:56 They don't toil nor spin, right? 04:59 And yet Jesus knows all about the sparrow, 05:02 he doesn't worry about what's gonna happen. 05:05 God's gonna take care of him as I've said many times, 05:08 Yvonne, we've read at the back of the book 05:10 and the back of the book says, 05:12 we win because but what's important is 05:15 for those of us who are Christians 05:17 to understand this and then be able to teach it 05:20 to those around us, so that no one has to be lost. 05:26 Everyone can have peace. 05:28 The Bible says in the end days 05:30 men's hearts failing them for fear. 05:31 For fear. And that's right now. 05:33 So that's why Three Angels Broadcasting Network 05:36 to give three angels' messages. 05:38 What we're gonna talk about today 05:40 is all part of the three angels' messages, 05:42 "Fear God and give glory to Him, 05:44 for the hour of His judgment has come. 05:45 Worship Him who created, 05:47 you know, the heavens and earth." 05:48 So this is a program, 05:50 now we sat down just a little bit ago 05:52 I ask, Yvonne 05:54 three minutes before or five minutes before 05:56 we went on the air about joining us. 05:58 John, this morning we were gonna do something else, 06:00 we had a cancellation. 06:02 Said, John, come and minister to us. 06:04 John is full and over flowing of ministry 06:08 and so we are glad he is here today. 06:10 Praise God. 06:11 And of course, C.A. Murray, Pastor Murray, 06:12 he's been following prophecy for many, many years. 06:15 So we want you to get your Bibles at home 06:17 and join with us. 06:19 It's gonna be good, it's gonna be fun. 06:20 You know, when we look at the world that surrounds us, 06:23 we had the papal visit just some time ago. 06:26 And of course, news media treated that almost like 06:29 the coming of a rock star or a king of a foreign country. 06:32 Or the Lord. Or the Lord himself. 06:34 And it is incumbent upon us as Adventists, as Christians, 06:38 as people who are looking for the coming of Christ 06:40 to put these things as John well knows into context. 06:44 He didn't just blow in, blow off and blow out, 06:46 but when you look at his coming, 06:48 you look at some of things 06:49 that are happening in the world. 06:51 Look at ISIS and you look at the Christian Muslim debate 06:54 and some of the other things 06:55 that are happening in a larger context, 06:56 there is a pattern there. 06:58 This is not gonna take God's people by surprise. 07:00 Because we... So when we see these things, 07:02 we ought to double down on our Bible study 07:06 and look again at what Christ has called us to do 07:09 because they are simply road sign saying 07:13 you are 20 miles out, you are 10 miles out, 07:16 you are 5 miles out, you are almost there 07:18 and you need to be prepared for the coming of the Lord. 07:21 John? That's right. 07:22 And so where we are right now, 07:23 we are looking at a timeline of prophecy. 07:25 What's exciting about this program 07:28 to all my guests and those of you who 07:29 are watching the program is that we are living 07:32 in the fulfillment of the things 07:34 that John and Daniel were shown. 07:37 So what gives us the pause to be more excited, 07:40 not only excited because excitement 07:41 can only go but so far, 07:43 but to be vigilant and to come on television like this 07:46 irrespective of different religions 07:48 but with respect of all, to let people understand 07:51 where we are headed in the time 07:53 and the day in which we are living. 07:54 And the Vatican has a lot to do, 07:56 whether silent or very visible, the Vatican has a lot to do 08:00 with what is developing on the scenes right now. 08:02 So we are gonna dive into Revelation 08:04 or we're gonna do music first or... 08:05 Okay. Yeah, absolutely. 08:07 C.A., I think we have Ladye Love. 08:09 We do. 08:10 She is gonna sing 08:11 from the Hallelujah, We're Home At Last! 08:13 Calvary Says Love and that's the whole point that we, 08:17 that we need to understand and we have to, 08:19 I think those of us here is that everything 08:23 is around Calvary and of course centers on Jesus. 08:25 In fact that the Son of God, 08:27 you know, God would send His Son, 08:29 only begotten Son to give His life for us, 08:33 frail human agents that He could have just destroyed. 08:36 Only love, right, could have held Him to the cross. 08:40 It wasn't the nails, 08:41 it was only the love that held Jesus to the cross. 08:43 So when we look at the big picture, 08:46 we have nothing to fear 08:48 because we know that Jesus loves us. 08:51 And one of the greatest songs ever, 08:53 "Jesus loves me! This I know, For the Bible tells me so." 08:56 This is the song Ladye Love sings 08:58 and I love how she does it, ministers to us, 09:02 "Calvary Says Love to Me." 09:18 In compassion and love 09:23 He looked down to earth 09:28 Then He sent His Son 09:31 Born of virgin birth 09:37 He knew from Creation 09:41 What was to be 09:46 With great love for man 09:50 He planned Calvary 09:58 Calvary says love 10:02 To me 10:07 Like words 10:09 Could never say 10:16 The blood He shed 10:20 Was love written in red 10:26 Calvary says love 10:31 To me 10:39 Separated by sin 10:43 Was the whole human race 10:48 Man was destined to die 10:52 Were it not for grace 10:58 A cross and three nails 11:02 Never held Him there 11:07 He willingly chose 11:12 The cross to bear 11:19 Calvary says love 11:23 To me 11:28 Like words 11:30 Could never say 11:37 The blood He shed 11:41 Was love written in red 11:46 Calvary says love 11:51 To me 11:55 He's coming back again 11:59 To take me home with Him 12:04 That's love 12:06 Beyond Calvary 12:14 Calvary says love 12:18 To me 12:23 Like words 12:25 Could never say 12:32 The blood He shed 12:36 Was love written in red 12:42 Calvary says love 12:47 To me 12:51 The blood He shed 12:55 Was love written 12:58 In red 13:03 Calvary says love 13:07 To me 13:13 Calvary says love 13:19 To me 13:27 To me 13:38 Amen. Beautiful, Ladye. 13:41 Amen. Well, done. 13:42 What a beautiful song 13:44 and it bespeaks what we are talking about. 13:45 I was in Buffalo, New York this past Sabbath 13:47 and a woman who's just been in the church a little bit 13:52 said, you know, I want to give 3ABN my diamond ring 13:56 because I want to be involved in evangelism, 13:59 I want to see the Word of God move forward. 14:02 So she said, it's in my pocket. 14:03 She said, take this back 14:05 and give it to whoever needs it at 3ABN. 14:07 In fact, she said, Bruce and Tammy 14:09 because she's been watching. 14:10 Because I want to be part of this, 14:11 because I know Christ is coming soon. 14:13 Wonderful. Thank you so much. 14:14 Yeah, can't take this to heaven. 14:16 Pastor John, we want to kind of put in your hands a little bit 14:18 because I know you got a lot to say. 14:20 Okay. Are you ready? 14:22 Yeah, we are ready. Fasten our seatbelts. 14:23 Because, you know, as I mention welcome to, 14:27 welcome to the most 14:29 nonpolitically correct network in the world. 14:32 Not about political correctness, 14:33 we are about scriptural correctness. 14:35 All right. All right. 14:36 In the course of human history, 14:38 God has been so faithful to us to give us a panorama 14:43 of the four major kingdoms of the world. 14:45 Just to recap that, 14:47 Nebuchadnezzar received the first vision in Daniel 2. 14:51 And then Daniel received the second vision in Daniel 7. 14:54 As we know Nebuchadnezzar received the vision about 14:56 the metal man, gold, silver, bronze, iron, 14:59 then iron and clay. 15:01 And then Daniel received the vision about the lion, 15:04 the bear, the leopard and then the beast, 15:07 the nondescript beast that had iron teeth, 15:10 seven heads and ten horns. 15:12 And so combining them together, 15:14 you will discover something very interesting in Denial 15:18 that gold is more valuable than silver, 15:22 silver is more valuable than bronze, 15:24 bronze is definitely more valuable than iron 15:27 and iron is surely more valuable than clay. 15:30 You find that the value of the kingdom is getting less, 15:33 but the strength of the kingdom is getting more. 15:36 Because you find... 15:38 Let's go to the lion now, the lion now. 15:41 A lion with eagle's wings represented Babylon 15:43 and Babylon was the golden kingdom. 15:45 Gold was replaced by the silver, 15:46 the Medo-Persian Empire 15:49 which had a bear with three ribs in its mouth. 15:52 And then you had the Grecian Empire, 15:54 the bronze empire represented by the leopard 15:57 with four heads and four wings. 15:58 And then you had the nondescript beast 16:01 with iron teeth 16:03 and then you have that fourth metal which was iron. 16:06 So Rome represents that fourth beast of Daniel 7 16:11 and the fourth element in Daniel Chapter 2. 16:14 So now, when you think about the Bible, 16:16 what's so wonderful about this, Danny, 16:18 and I want to keep referring to you 16:19 but those of you who are watching the program, 16:21 what's so wonderful about this is there are no more 16:25 earthly kingdoms after the fourth beast. 16:27 Okay. 16:28 There are no more earthly churches 16:30 after the seventh church of Laodicea. 16:33 So if we are living in the seventh church 16:34 which we are, Laodicea, the condition that is lukewarm, 16:38 then we know the very next church 16:39 is the church triumphant. 16:41 Amen to that. Amen. 16:42 This is the church militant 16:43 to be followed by the church triumphant. 16:45 We also know Daniel 7:23, the Lord speaks about Rome, 16:50 the fourth beast that will inhabit the earth 16:52 or even more than inhabit the earth, encompass the earth. 16:55 He says, Daniel 7:23, 16:58 "Thus he said, The fourth beast 17:01 shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, 17:04 "which shall be diverse" or different 17:06 "from all other kingdoms, 17:09 and shall devour the whole earth, 17:11 trample it and break it in pieces." 17:15 And then its speaks about the description of this, 17:17 it gives another series of descriptions about 17:20 how He will persecute the sins of the Most High, 17:23 how He will intend to change times and laws 17:25 which are all totally synonymous 17:27 with the actions of Rome during the Dark Ages, 17:29 the church of the Dark Ages. 17:31 Now, the church of Dark Ages primarily represented a mixture 17:34 between pagan and papal Rome. 17:38 When pagan Rome is going down, papal Rome is coming up. 17:41 In other words Rome adopted a religion. 17:43 Up until that point, 17:44 all the actions of Rome were pagan. 17:47 You know, you have Caesar Augustus, 17:49 you have Julius Caesar 17:51 this is where we get August and July. 17:55 They were so desirous of being gods in their pagan right 17:58 that they stole two days from February 18:00 to extend their month 18:01 that's why February is only 28 days. 18:03 They wanted to be worship. 18:05 So when Rome, when papal Rome rose, 18:08 papal Rome took on the same position. 18:11 It was simply baptized paganism was now Rome's Christianity. 18:16 For those who don't know what paganism is 18:18 would you explain that a bit? 18:20 Well, paganism is everything that is anti-god. 18:23 To be very candid with you, God is left out 18:26 and it has to do with a cult worship, 18:29 worship of the stars, the sun, the moon, 18:32 the elements everything that disconnects itself from God. 18:35 In other words, the perversion of true religion. 18:37 And so now the Bible takes us to Revelation Chapter 13 18:40 and I want you to go there 18:42 if you have your Bibles with me, with you 18:44 and I want you to notice and let me add another caveat. 18:49 When we look at the unfolding of Revelation talks about, 18:52 we have to keep in mind and I want to say 18:54 this is very important that the great controversy 18:57 is not between Christ and the Vatican, 19:00 it's between Christ and Satan. 19:02 Okay. All right. 19:03 But the Lord has His church on earth 19:06 and for everything that God has, 19:08 Satan seek to counterfeit it. 19:10 You know, we're here to counteract the counterfeit. 19:14 So the Lord has established the church. 19:16 Satan doesn't have a church but he is perverted the woman 19:19 to represent all the elements that He has pushed. 19:22 You know, your Revelation Chapter 12 19:23 the woman clothed with the sun, the moon and stars. 19:26 Then in Revelation Chapter 17, 19:28 the woman sitting on a red colored beast 19:32 wearing purple and red, the color blue is missing 19:36 which is the color of the Commandments. 19:39 So she doesn't keep the Commandments 19:40 and she is referred to as a harlot 19:42 but she has daughters. 19:43 So this false church is not by itself. 19:46 It has systems around the world that represents it. 19:50 I'm coming right down the pipe here. 19:51 Yeah. Sure. Okay. 19:53 And so when we look at Revelation Chapter 13, 19:55 one of the things that I prefaces by saying 19:58 is because the devil doesn't have a church, 20:01 he does what you have seen prevalent throughout scripture. 20:05 He pursues the woman. Now, let's look at that. 20:07 In Genesis, what did he do? He deceived the woman. 20:12 He spoke subtle words to the woman 20:15 and ended up deceiving Eve. 20:18 Now that's where the battle between 20:19 the serpent and the woman was 20:21 because he lost the battle between him and Christ. 20:23 He was cast to the earth. 20:24 So now what we saw start in Genesis 20:27 has carried itself through all the way to Revelation. 20:31 So you have the woman and the serpent in the garden 20:34 and then you have the woman and the serpent 20:36 in the wilderness, 20:38 then you have the woman and the serpent 20:39 at the time of the birth of Jesus. 20:41 He seeks to kill Jesus as He was being born. 20:44 And then you have the woman and the serpent 20:46 again in Revelation Chapter 12. 20:47 So look at this before I give you Revelation 13, 20:49 look at Revelation 12. 20:52 It says now, verse 1, 20:53 "Now a great sign appeared in heaven, 20:56 a woman clothed with the sun..." 20:58 I'm reading in the New King James Version. 21:00 "With the moon under her feet, 21:01 and on her head a garland or crown of twelve stars." 21:05 And notice what it says in verse 2, 21:08 "And then being with child, 21:09 she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth." 21:13 But here's the key, 21:15 this is where the dragon comes in. 21:16 "And another sign appeared in heaven, 21:18 behold, a great, fiery dragon 21:21 having seven heads and ten horns, 21:23 and seven crowns or diadems on his heads." 21:26 Who is this dragon? 21:27 Verse 9, "So the great dragon was cast out, 21:31 that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, 21:34 which deceives the whole world, he was cast to the earth, 21:36 and his angels were cast out with him." 21:38 So now this battle that began in heaven 21:40 as Revelation 12:7 tells us, he lost there 21:43 but in the garden he was successful 21:44 in deceiving the woman. 21:46 But God in His mercy, 21:49 and this is a two hander as Danny would say. 21:51 God in his mercy after establishing His church, 21:54 Danny, has preserved the church throughout the ages 21:57 because Satan could not defeat Christ, 22:01 so he's come after the church. 22:02 This is where we're headed with that. 22:03 Look at what the Lord did to help the woman. 22:06 Look Revelation 12:13. 22:10 So I knew you're going there. 22:12 "Now when the dragon saw 22:13 that he had been cast to the earth, 22:15 he persecuted the woman 22:17 who gave birth to the male Child. 22:20 But the woman..." 22:21 This is what God did to preserve the church 22:24 "Was given two wings of a great eagle, 22:25 that she might fly into the wilderness to her place,` 22:29 where she is nourished 22:31 for a time and times and half a time, 22:33 from the presence of the serpent." 22:34 So during the Dark Ages, 22:36 1,260 years the Lord preserved the church. 22:38 During the time of persecution, 22:40 God hid His church in the wilderness. 22:43 Now get this, in the mountains of Europe, 22:46 in the Swiss Alps, in the Italian Alps 22:48 we have the Waldensians and what a number of the other, 22:51 the Burgundians, what do we have out there? 22:53 Yeah, the Albigenses, the Waldensian, 22:54 you have got the Cathari, 22:56 you got so many groups that that were persecuted 22:59 and hid in the mountains for centuries. 23:03 That's right. Yes. 23:04 But Rome pursued them in the mountains of Europe. 23:08 It got to the place where under the Church of Rome, 23:11 they could not freely worship. 23:14 And so we have a transition, 23:16 the Lord says, if they cannot worship freely 23:18 in all throughout Europe, 23:20 I'm gonna help her by doing something. 23:22 This is the transition verse 16, well verse 15. 23:27 Read that for me, Pastor C.A. 23:29 Verse 15 of Revelation Chapter 12, 23:31 "So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood 23:34 after the woman, that he might cause her 23:37 to be carried away by the flood." 23:40 So he is trying to drown the church 23:43 and he tried to drown the church. 23:44 The Protestant reformation 23:46 began with Martin Luther, Zwingli, Hus, Wycliffe 23:49 and all the other names 23:51 but the counter reformation, Danny, 23:53 was the Roman church started a counter culture 23:57 against the spread of God's word 24:00 by introducing art, music, industry, science, 24:04 and the people of Europe became very secular minded. 24:07 The church began to die 24:09 and the church went under severe persecution. 24:11 So when it was no longer free to worship in Europe, 24:15 we have a group called the pilgrims 24:18 who came to America. 24:22 The three ships the-- 24:25 Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria. 24:27 Nina, Pinta and the Santa Maria. 24:28 Some historians here. They're historians. 24:30 And they-- 24:32 I'm almost old enough, I remember. 24:35 You remember the ship pulling in. 24:37 And they came to America at a time 24:40 when the world was taught that it was flat 24:44 and if you sailed for any length of time 24:45 in any particular direction you can fall off the edge. 24:48 They came to America 24:50 and look at what the Bible says in verse 16. 24:51 You want to read that one, Yvonne, verse 16. 24:53 "But the earth helped the woman, 24:55 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood 24:58 which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth." 25:00 Okay, so now Europe can no longer house Christians, 25:03 they couldn't freely worship. 25:05 They were persecuted, put to death. 25:06 Millions, more than 15 million Christians 25:08 were persecuted by Rome 25:09 and, you know, what, Danny, Rome acknowledges that. 25:11 Pope Francis, he said, he apologized 25:14 for this great persecution 25:16 led loose by the Church of Rome during the Dark Ages. 25:18 So they acknowledged that. 25:20 But why is he here in America? 25:22 Because the earth opened its mouth. 25:24 Now go to Revelation Chapter 13 and Pastor C.A., 25:29 now we are going to introduce America into the scenario 25:32 because the earth opened its mouth. 25:35 When the pilgrims fled 25:37 the earth gave her a safe heaven. 25:40 America, this lightly populated continent 25:45 where mostly only Indians lived 25:47 made it a haven of safety for those who came from Europe 25:51 and look at how the Bible describes. 25:52 Remember the earth opened its mouth. 25:54 Revelation 13:11, Pastor C.A. 25:56 Picking up at verse 11, "Then I saw another beast 25:59 coming up out of the earth, 26:02 and he had two horns like a lamb 26:05 and spoke like a dragon." 26:06 Now you ask yourself a question, 26:08 wait a minute, this very place 26:09 that God led the Christians for safety 26:14 has now been pursued by the dragon. 26:17 Satan wants to come here now too 26:19 because this who is here 26:21 that he is concerned about getting after? 26:23 The woman. The woman, right. 26:25 The church. 26:26 And who is this woman? 26:27 Somebody read Revelation 12:17. 26:30 "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, 26:33 and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, 26:36 who keep the commandments of God 26:38 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." 26:40 So it is so hard for me to keep quiet on this. 26:41 No, go ahead and finish that. 26:43 It's just that the dragon has persecuted 26:47 for 1,200 plus years, the woman. 26:51 Now he is going after the rest of her offspring. 26:54 The rest of them. Yeah. 26:55 So he wants total, total domination. 26:58 He is persecuted so the woman runs to the wilderness 27:01 and now he is right behind her 27:03 so he comes here to the wilderness 27:05 and we call it "wilderness" in quote. 27:07 Because he wants total domination 27:09 and there is only one group of people 27:11 truly if you pass this 27:13 that are keeping the Commandments of God 27:16 and have the testimony of Jesus. 27:17 And that takes us to another thing 27:19 but we can stop right here with that. 27:21 But he wants total domination 27:23 and wherever the woman is, wherever her offspring are 27:26 that's where he is gonna go 27:27 because he wants to dominate them. 27:28 But how does he do it, now 27:30 because he doesn't come into, because he-- 27:33 Let me grab myself here. 27:35 Because he was so known 27:37 to be a persecuting power in Europe, 27:40 he couldn't come here the same way. 27:41 Couldn't come that way, correct. 27:43 Now, I often say the way that Satan began his work 27:46 as the way he is going to end it. 27:48 "The serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field 27:51 which the Lord God had made." 27:52 Genesis Chapter 3. 27:54 So now Rome sends a subtle representative, 27:58 but we have to find out who is behind it. 28:00 Revelation 13:2, okay, the end of verse 2, 28:08 matter of fact, yeah, the end of verse 2, Pastor C.A. 28:10 just and the dragon. 28:11 You are in verse? 28:13 Revelation 13:2. 28:14 Okay, we go, okay. 28:17 "The dragon gave him his power, 28:19 his throne, and great authority." 28:21 Okay. 28:22 And so the Vatican, 28:25 the power, the throne and the great authority he has, 28:29 has been shifted now 28:31 from the mountains of Europe to the plains of America. 28:37 But he has been patient 28:41 in the time he need to come here 28:42 because the Vatican couldn't come here in the 1700s, 28:46 couldn't come here in the 1800s, 28:48 couldn't come in the 1900s, 28:50 couldn't come even up to the time 28:53 that President Kennedy was being considered 28:56 to be president being a Catholic. 28:59 America was terrified of the idea 29:01 that we could create an allegiance with Catholicism. 29:05 So the timing is right because what happens is 29:08 this nation, this country that is in fact, 29:11 now the lamb like and I want to go back to that 29:14 Revelation 13:11, 29:15 "I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, 29:17 he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon." 29:19 Pastor C.A., as a theologian what are the two horns 29:23 that America represents, do you remember? 29:26 Religious liberty and civil liberty. 29:28 Religious liberty and civil liberty. 29:29 We're the only world power that gives people 29:34 the freedom to worship 29:36 and the freedom from the government 29:38 and its tyranny. 29:40 Now we know it's changing, all right. 29:43 But under this auspices an allegiance is made, 29:46 and I'm gonna go down and walk through this 29:48 because when America came into view, 29:50 it came into play as a place where you can worship 29:53 as you're free, as you freely desire 29:56 but look at what happened 29:57 in verse 12 of Revelation Chapter 13. 29:59 Revelation 13:12, Yvonne. 30:01 "And he exercises all the authority 30:03 of the first beast in his presence, 30:05 and causes the earth and those who dwell in it 30:08 to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed." 30:11 So the first beast whose deadly wound was healed 30:13 was who, Pastor C.A.? 30:14 That was the church in the Middle Ages 30:17 or the church that is identified 30:20 in Revelation 13:1-11, 1-10. 30:23 So you are harkening back 30:25 to that this whole establishment 30:27 of who this beast was, 30:28 where he came from and what he is all about. 30:30 John, I think we need to add this. 30:32 When we talk about antichrist, 30:34 we are not talking about per se against Christ. 30:37 We're talking about 30:39 taking to yourself the prerogatives of Christ. 30:41 That's right in place of. 30:42 In place of Christ. 30:44 So when you say, 30:45 well, this entity looks like the church 30:47 and looks like Christ 30:49 but when it says, I can do what is left of Christ. 30:52 When it says, I can forgive sins. 30:54 When it says, I can do only those things 30:56 that Christ has been called to do, 30:59 then it is antichrist in that, 31:01 Danny, it is taking the place of Christ 31:03 and the prerogatives of Christ, 31:05 so that broadens our understanding 31:07 of who antichrist was 31:09 and allows us to understand that 31:10 when we are talking about antichrist, 31:11 we are not talking about some demon 31:13 or some demonic entity. 31:15 We are talking about a religious entity 31:17 that is trying to do what Christ has called to do. 31:20 And remember with Daniel 7 and Revelation 13, 31:22 parleys to get on this, 31:24 this is his the whole world wonders after the beast. 31:27 This fourth power Rome is going to trample 31:29 and break down all the powers of the earth, 31:31 but he is not going to do it unless he is allowed to do it. 31:35 You see, the Vatican can't come to America 31:37 unless he is invited. 31:39 And being invited to America, the United States 31:42 has established a platform that is open dialog with Rome 31:46 and through the evangelicals 31:48 there is a coalition coming together. 31:50 We know that many years ago, 31:52 I say may be about six to seven years ago, 31:53 may be almost 10 now, 31:55 the Protestants and Catholics signed a document of agreement 31:58 on certain tenants of faith 32:00 but a greater push under Tony Palmer, 32:04 he died not too long ago, 32:06 lost his life in a car accident. 32:07 He was pushing the unity of evangelicals and Catholics. 32:11 And so what's happening in America, Danny, 32:13 is the evangelical church, the daughters of Rome 32:17 are reaching to find ways to join and unite with Rome. 32:23 And you will discover in this clip 32:25 that I know they are preparing to show. 32:26 I'm gonna lay the foundation, then I'll comment afterwards. 32:29 When Brad and I were invited to come to-- 32:32 to go to Washington DC 32:33 to listen to the speech of Pope Francis, 32:37 I had gone there and I thank the Lord 32:38 that 3ABN sent me 32:40 with all the prior understanding 32:41 of the world is wondering after the beast. 32:44 Now what you are gonna hear in this clip 32:45 that's gonna be played, 32:47 you are going to hear the exuberance, the vibrancy 32:50 and you are gonna hear different people 32:51 of different religions say more than once 32:54 that even though I'm not Catholic, 32:56 even though I'm not this, even though I'm not that, 32:59 I look at him as the world religious leader. 33:02 And then when the Bible says, 33:04 "All the world will wonder after the beast" 33:07 keep this in mind carefully, 33:09 we're not talking about Catholic people, 33:10 we are talking about the head of a system. 33:13 Widely important to the head of a system 33:16 that has his power rooted and I got to say this 33:20 in the manipulation of Satan behind the scenes. 33:24 No earthly man could have the kind of clout 33:26 and recognition and power and throne in great authority 33:30 that Pope, that the Pope has whether it's Pope Francis, 33:34 Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict, 33:37 whoever sits in that seat, 33:38 no earthly power could have that kind of authority. 33:40 Look at this clip and when we come back 33:42 we will give you some commentary 33:43 in reference to what you're about to see. 33:45 For the very first time 33:48 a Pope comes to visit America and address Congress. 33:52 What a day. 33:53 America has long awaited this day 33:57 and it has finally come. 33:59 This is an event 34:01 that we know will change the face of America 34:03 for religious and political reasons. 34:05 Why are you excited to be here today? 34:07 Well, first of all, I'm excited 34:08 because I was on an elevator and one gentleman said, 34:12 "Your boss is in town." 34:14 I thought that's great. He is my boss. 34:16 He is our greatest superior if you want to say. 34:19 So I'm thrilled that we're privileged to be here 34:23 to be in his presence and I'm sure 34:25 that he is a holy man 34:26 and he's gonna say whatever needs to be said 34:28 for the American people. 34:30 Pope Francis brings a new face to the Catholic Church 34:32 and I think it's just really inspiring 34:34 to see him in real life. 34:35 Think it's something 34:36 I wouldn't be able to experience 34:38 any other time really. 34:39 He is a beacon of hope, 34:41 he is the representation of the Catholic Church 34:43 and of Christianity in general 34:45 and not too many people will be able to do this. 34:47 Well, for me it means a lot 34:49 because I was Jesuit educated and he is a Jesuit himself 34:52 and I think he's brought a lot of energy back to the church 34:54 as a lifelong Catholic. 34:56 Obviously the church hasn't been strong 34:58 as it has in the past. 35:00 And I think he's just reenergizing in a lot of way. 35:02 Well, I think the Pope sets a great platform 35:04 for that having one person 35:06 representing all religions in general. 35:08 He is not only set to one belief 35:11 but he respects everyone. 35:12 Okay. 35:14 I think people of all kind get onboard 35:15 with what he's saying 35:17 and like I'm not necessarily Catholic 35:19 but I'm Christian, 35:20 I am mostly on the Baptist side, 35:22 but I agree what he is saying 35:24 and I know that my church does as well. 35:26 Just to be able to witness him 35:28 and to celebrate mass with him, 35:31 I don't want to claim public 35:33 but it was the most emotional peaceful. 35:36 People were so happy, people were so kind 35:39 and he just makes you feel 35:41 like there is hope in the world. 35:43 I think it doesn't matter what denomination you are. 35:45 This is like going for many people to a wedding, 35:47 whether you are a member of that faith or not, 35:50 you attend that wedding and you believe 35:51 that those vows are sacred. 35:53 The words from the Pope are always gonna be sacred 35:55 regardless of what affiliation you are. 35:57 I think regardless of what faith you are, 35:59 you see the Pope as just, he is an image. 36:03 Like a figure of hope and his faithfulness 36:07 regardless of what faith you are. 36:09 So I think that's why so many people 36:11 of different faiths are so excited to see the Pope here 36:14 and it's so important to everyone 36:15 because he's just a symbol of hope and just change. 36:19 It's very joyous experience for a lot of us 36:21 and I know everyone I've met with, 36:24 everyone I've spoken with has been really fantastic. 36:26 I think today is more about coming together 36:28 than it is dividing people down the middle. 36:31 So I'm sure that he will challenge us in some ways. 36:35 Perhaps, he may say some things 36:37 that we don't want to hear, 36:39 but I hope that we have open hearts and open ears 36:44 and that we at least listen and accept 36:47 the challenge that he gives to us. 36:49 Well, I think that people that are truly Christian 36:53 are going to appreciate what he has to say. 36:56 They might not agree with all of the teachings 36:58 of the Catholic Church, 36:59 but you certainly agree about 37:01 the basic Ten Commandments and what its moral is. 37:04 I think he will be a great influence on... 37:07 I just met a wonderful Protestant preacher 37:11 last evening who is right here, 37:13 you know, and I think that 37:16 we particularly the evangelicals 37:18 I think were right. 37:20 I came from the south 37:21 and, you know, all my friends 37:22 who are Baptist at church of Christ 37:24 wonderful, wonderful 37:26 and we all believe in the same morals, 37:29 you know, if they are truly Christian. 37:31 And it's great that he is able to speak about 37:35 different issues like climate change 37:38 and different economic, 37:40 important issues that are happening. 37:42 So I think that's, so a very great thing. 37:44 I think Pope Francis is one who unites 37:48 and I think he respects the religions of others. 37:51 So I think he comes with the message of peace, of love of, 37:55 you know, let's walk together in this world 37:57 and so I think he wants us to be united in all things. 38:01 You don't have to be catholic 38:03 to listen to his message because he's just, 38:06 he has the perfect way to be like 38:10 nice and kind and generous and just a good person 38:14 and that counts for everyone even if you are not Catholic. 38:18 Okay. 38:19 I just feel so lucky that to me 38:21 the most important human being on earth, 38:22 I've really got as close to God as I can before I die. 38:26 Wow. 38:43 I'll ask God to bless them. 38:49 Thank you. 38:51 Thank you very much and God bless America. 39:08 What we witnessed here today on the Capitol lawn 39:11 was nothing short of prophetically fulfilling. 39:15 The Bible speaks about 39:17 the power of Rome reigning supreme, 39:20 in actuality encompassing the entire world 39:23 and the closer we get to the end, 39:24 the more realistic those verses are coming into fruition. 39:27 What we saw here today was what the Bible says 39:30 "All the world wondered." 39:33 And we saw today from all walks of life, 39:35 regardless of people's opinions, 39:37 regardless of their denominational beliefs, 39:40 regardless of their financial status or their ethnicity, 39:43 everyone was drawn by the magnetism 39:46 that Pope Francis seems to embrace. 39:49 But is that something that's coincidental? 39:51 According to Bible prophecy, 39:53 we have seen the words of John the Apostle 39:56 and Daniel come to stark fulfillment today 39:59 in the eyes of America, 40:01 on the soil of the greatest nation, 40:04 a nation that offers 40:06 of republican form of government 40:08 and also Protestantism. 40:09 Two freedoms that sometimes we take for granted. 40:12 But are those freedoms going to be long endured 40:16 and appreciated by Americans 40:18 after the visit of the largest head of state 40:22 and political leader that our world knows, Pope Francis. 40:26 Stay tuned because 40:27 we believe that the days ahead are the days 40:29 that are going to bring greater messages, 40:31 greater understanding of 40:32 what God has told us centuries ago. 40:36 We are truly living in the day 40:38 where the final moments will be rapid ones. 40:41 One thing we know for sure, God's word can be trusted 40:45 for what happened here today 40:46 was a conformation of the sure word of prophecy. 40:51 This is John Lomacang for 3ABN from Washington DC. 41:00 What we just saw in a number of ways is that he is a uniter, 41:05 his words are sacred, 41:07 he is about bringing us together. 41:11 He is the one who unites. 41:15 It's like being in the presence of God. 41:18 He is the most important human being on earth. 41:20 These are statements that people...- 41:22 That people said. 41:23 You recorded, they actually, this is what they feel. 41:26 This is how they feel regardless of denomination, 41:30 regardless of prior belief, 41:33 they believe that he is the man to unite us all. 41:36 And this is in fact, stark reality 41:39 totally in harmony with the Bible 41:40 when this is all the world will wonder after the beast. 41:43 And so Daniel said this centuries ago 41:46 that it will trample down and break in pieces. 41:48 And so, Danny, there is no world authority 41:51 that can stand up against him because as you've seen here, 41:54 it could be easily said as the Bible says 41:56 "who is like him 41:58 when they marvel at him, who is like him." 42:01 I know that, Yvonne, it was hard to contain yourself. 42:02 You want to say something about what you saw? 42:04 Yeah, you know a couple of things. 42:05 Number one, it's so interesting how people who aren't Catholic, 42:10 who aren't associated with that church 42:12 who are Christian and non-Christians 42:16 have been drawn into this whole deal 42:19 about him being so different 42:21 and this is such a different Pope 42:23 and this is such a different experience 42:25 and people are in awe of him 42:28 and placing him as a moral authority. 42:31 And the other thing I want to say is that 42:33 the media has just played him up 42:37 so that it's like this guy is God on earth. 42:41 People are crying in his presence 42:44 and acting as though he is God. 42:47 It's very interesting to me 42:53 into this whole deception. 42:55 It's also very interesting to me, 42:57 I don't mean this to sound disrespectful 42:58 but I never heard of the guy before 43:01 and all of the sudden he's the most powerful man 43:02 and according to these folk the most wonderful, 43:05 most godly man on earth, 43:07 yet he dies the next one is gonna come in. 43:10 He was 75-years-old or whatever 43:12 before all of a sudden he is near God. 43:15 You know, I mean so it's really a system 43:17 and I think it's his position 43:19 more than the individual people. 43:21 When you say you're Pope, 43:22 I don't care who they put on there 43:24 that says to them has such, you know, 43:27 incredible meaning. 43:28 But, John, we have to, you got... 43:30 we only got ten, nine minutes or so. 43:31 You got to bring us around 43:33 where should we be in all of this? 43:35 Well, it comes back down to two things. 43:38 One, if you do something that gets the devil upset, 43:42 you're doing something right. 43:43 Okay. 43:45 If you do something he supports, 43:46 you are doing something wrong. 43:47 I go back to the text again because Revelation Chapter 12 43:51 when it shows that 43:54 where it shows that Satan is pursuing those 43:56 who are loyal to God, 43:58 he identifies those as they keep 44:00 the Commandments of God 44:02 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 44:04 And then Revelation Chapter 14, 44:06 let's go to Revelation 14 very quickly 44:09 and look at how the Bible, 44:11 and the reason I'm using the Bible more is because 44:14 I want people to understand 44:16 that what is taking place in our world is not something 44:18 that has caught us by surprise. 44:20 We've known this as a church for a long time, 44:22 for more than 170 years 44:23 to be particular, to be specific. 44:26 But then again you see 44:28 that Revelation 13 talks about 44:29 the unity of the second beast of Revelation 13 44:33 which is United States, this lamb like power. 44:36 And, Pastor C.A., the theologian here 44:39 when the Bible uses the word lamb, 44:42 who are they talking about? 44:43 Talking about the Lord. The Lord. 44:45 So when the Bible speaks about 44:46 another beast coming up out of the earth, 44:48 two horns like a lamb that means the Christian power. 44:53 So this nation was born on Christian principles 44:55 but the principle that keeps the Vatican 44:58 from total domination of America 45:00 is they offer religious freedom. 45:05 And... 45:06 Who offers religious freedom? 45:07 America, our government. 45:09 Freedom of worship is something we have now. 45:11 We know a lot of our freedom is being threatened. 45:13 You can't say what you want to say any longer in America. 45:16 You know, all these freedoms could be taken away. 45:19 You know, we have the Patriot Act 45:20 and I don't want to go down that road. 45:21 But America is a place now 45:23 where the litmus test for any political office is, 45:28 what is your religion? 45:29 That's a big thing. 45:31 That's been happening 45:32 ever since the introduction of the moral majority, 45:35 the religious right. 45:37 This whole idea that what you believe 45:40 your Christian beliefs 45:41 has everything to do with your office, 45:43 has become a significant role in America. 45:46 And so who are we now? 45:47 We are the people saying to the world, 45:49 "If you want to avoid being drawn in by the Vatican, 45:53 you simply have to stand on God's word." 45:55 Amen. Amen. 45:56 So what do you do? 45:57 Revelation Chapter 14, it gives you another picture. 46:00 It gives you another picture. 46:02 Revelation Chapter 14 46:03 and I'm gonna show you again in verse 12. 46:08 speaking about in the midst of the final moments of the earth, 46:13 the Bible says again, 46:14 "Here is the patience of the saints, 46:17 here are those who keep the Commandments of God 46:20 and the faith of Jesus." 46:22 Now what I want to add to that 46:24 is not only is the devil upset with those 46:26 who keep the Commandments of God 46:27 but what in particular is he upset about? 46:29 Yeah. 46:31 Because most Christians won't say 46:33 "I believe it's right to, 46:35 I believe that we could commit adultery 46:36 or steal or lie or kill and take God's name in vain." 46:39 But what in particular, Danny? 46:41 Fourth commandment. The fourth commandment. 46:42 Now why the fourth commandment? 46:44 Why does he want men to forget? Because there's God seal in it. 46:46 It says, who created, it says He is the... 46:48 the only commandment says 46:50 He is the Creator of heaven and earth. 46:51 So, you know, they say, President Obama, 46:54 president of the territory, United States of America, 46:57 the seal of God. 46:59 So if Satan can take that seal out 47:01 and put his own, 47:03 then people in spite of themselves are worshiping him. 47:08 So people say, what's important about a day? 47:10 It's not really about the day, 47:12 it's about coming down to whom I gonna serve. 47:14 We don't have time to go into all that today. 47:16 God has people in all churches we want you to know that. 47:19 We're not saved by if you're an Adventist or Pentecostal 47:22 or whomever or lost 47:23 because you are Catholic or whatever. 47:25 It's about the heart 47:26 but that's why 3ABN is to try to give a message 47:30 that's a final warning message to the lost and dying world, 47:33 and then let people decide for themselves. 47:36 So thank you for what you... Yeah. 47:37 I want to add this little quick here, John. 47:39 Because if you pull 47:40 the fourth commandment out of the Ten Commandments, 47:43 then you don't know who wrote the Ten Commandments 47:45 because the signature is in number four. 47:47 Right. 47:49 If you pull four you got, you have nine laws, 47:50 you have no clue where they came from 47:52 or who they came from 47:53 because He signs His name in number four. 47:55 So it makes it very important 47:56 because it gives his authorship of all ten. 48:00 And coming back to the point I made 48:02 earlier in the program, 48:04 the great controversy is not between Christ and Rome, 48:08 it's between Christ and Satan. 48:10 But Satan has established on earth 48:13 a power that will accomplish 48:15 what he initially always said he would do. 48:17 Isaiah Chapter 14, 48:18 notice the claims that the devil has made. 48:21 He's made some claims in the face of God 48:23 he said this is what I'm going to do 48:25 and he has made that attempt through the movements 48:28 that are taking place through Rome. 48:30 He says in Isaiah 14:13, 48:34 "For you have said in your heart..." 48:38 Break it down, pastor. Oh, you are not there yet. 48:40 Are you there, Yvonne? Yes. 48:41 Read the first one. 48:42 "'I will ascend into heaven." That's right. 48:44 "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God." 48:47 That's right. 48:48 "I will also sit on the mount of the congregation 48:51 on the farthest sides of the north. 48:53 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, 48:56 I will be like the Most High." 48:59 Okay. 49:00 So these are the claims that Satan has made 49:01 and through the religion of Rome, 49:05 through Roman Catholicism, 49:07 Satan has sought to accomplish 49:09 the very design through religion. 49:11 And, Danny, if I were to, if I were to attack God 49:14 to try to accomplish deception, 49:16 I would use the very thing 49:18 that God has established for man salvation, 49:20 to turn it around for man's destruction. 49:22 God has established the church for man's salvation 49:25 and Satan says, the church. 49:27 Didn't think about that one. 49:29 Let me go ahead 49:30 and divert the church from its mission 49:32 by polluting the church, the woman, 49:35 as he did in the Garden of Eden. 49:38 So here we are the commandment keepers of God 49:40 and what's the big deal about the Sabbath? 49:42 I know sometimes you watch 3ABN or listen to radio, 49:44 there was a lady that we have now 49:46 that's out of church, she say for 30 years 49:48 every time we talk about the Sabbath on the radio, 49:50 she would change the channel. 49:52 But one day when she was putting the placard on her lawn 49:54 that had the Ten Commandments on 49:56 she said to her husband, "Look we don't keep the Sabbath." 49:58 Why is the Sabbath so significantly a part of this? 50:01 When God established the Sabbath He said, 50:04 "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." 50:08 So it's not about the day, it's about who is your God. 50:11 But now Satan came along, Daniel 7:25, 50:15 he changed the times from the Sabbath to Sunday, 50:18 changed the fourth commandment, 50:20 broke it down, deleted most of it... 50:23 Through the Roman Catholic Church. 50:25 Through the Roman Catholic Church. 50:26 That's why Sunday worship. 50:28 That's why Sunday worship has come in. 50:29 The time we're quickly getting there 50:30 but because that's why people go to the church on Sundays 50:33 and yet those who claim to be Protestants, 50:36 the Catholic Church says themselves 50:37 are following after us in spite of themselves. 50:40 The Cardinal says, 50:42 "When they worship on Sunday 50:43 for which there is no biblical reference." 50:46 To me that's, we just kind of, 50:48 you know, getting started here today 50:50 but we want you to keep watching 3ABN. 50:52 You know, I think this is a good place, Danny, 50:54 that you may want to plug "The Antichrist Agenda," 50:56 that book really has laid such a dynamic foundation 50:59 for helping people understand the bigger picture 51:01 that's going on here. 51:02 It's not about the day you worship 51:04 as much as it is the God you worship. 51:07 When you choose the God, 51:09 the Creator of heaven and earth, 51:10 He already has the day. Yeah. 51:12 He said, "The Sabbath is a sign" Ezekiel 12... 51:15 Chapter 20:12 and 20, 51:16 "It's a sign between Me and you, 51:18 that you will know that I am the Lord 51:19 that sanctifies you." 51:21 So if the God of creation and redemption is your God, 51:24 then don't accept the substitute of Rome 51:26 which in fact is the substitute of Satan. 51:29 And folk call our 800 number during the week, 51:32 we will be happy to give you 51:34 either "Antichrist Agenda" 51:36 why don't I just say "Ten Commandments Twice Removed." 51:38 That's enough. Yes. 51:39 You can remember that "Ten Commandments Twice Removed" 51:41 and we will be happy to send one to you free 51:43 that goes into much more detail than what you got here today. 51:46 But the times in which we are living, 51:48 Pope comes to America. 51:49 All the world is wondering because Baptist, Methodist 51:53 everybody else are out there saying, 51:55 "Man, this man is holy." 51:56 And it's exactly what's been prophesized. 51:58 So we need to say what is our position? 52:01 Stick to the law of God, right. 52:02 Serve God and Him only. That's right. 52:04 If you follow God's words, you will never go wrong. 52:07 This is the light, don't settle for the darkness. 52:10 Well, said, Pastor John. 52:12 And the message of the third angel 52:13 like or not is the message of separation. 52:15 That's right. 52:17 It's a message of demarcation that if you are going to be, 52:20 then be where you are going to be. 52:21 I'm speaking kind of eclectically here 52:23 but if you are Protestant and you got to be Protestant. 52:25 You can't surrender that. 52:27 The reason the Protestant Church came into existence 52:29 is because of practices that it saw 52:31 that were not of God. 52:33 So now do we just surrender that 52:35 and fold hands kind of sing Kumbaya 52:37 or do we stand for what Christ has meant. 52:38 Right, you can't allow enthusiasm 52:40 in an exciting moment to cause you to give away 52:43 the very thing that is the basis of your salvation. 52:44 Precisely. 52:46 That's what's happening in America. 52:47 It took me a long time to figure out 52:49 a lot of people who are Protestants 52:50 whether it' Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal 52:52 don't know what Protestant means. 52:54 Protest if you break the word down. 52:56 Who do were they protesting? 52:58 Catholicism. Exactly. 52:59 And so either you are Catholic or you are Protestant 53:01 if you're Protestant, you know, 53:03 it's a Bible and the Bible only, 53:04 Catholic Church admittedly says, 53:06 we are tradition, you know. 53:07 They make their own laws, 53:08 we can rule and change the times of... 53:11 and God's law the fourth commandment, 53:12 but Protestants were supposed to be 53:15 the Bible and the Bible only, right. 53:17 Yes. Right. 53:18 That's why we do these programs, 53:19 we want you to join us in that, 53:21 not that we anti anybody except we are pro-God 53:24 and we are pro-the law of God. 53:26 I like that. Well, said. 53:27 The Council of Trent came out and said that 53:28 "tradition trumps the Bible." 53:31 Well, I can't cosign that, I cannot 53:33 because I'm sola scriptura and I cannot surrender that. 53:37 And as long as that is your basis for existence, 53:40 then you got to stick with the Word of God 53:42 and the Word of God only. 53:43 We're gonna go to our newsbreak now 53:45 and we will be back with the closing thought 53:46 from our pastor just after this. |
