00:00:01.46\00:00:07.37
Mending broken people
00:00:07.44\00:00:12.37
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.41\00:00:18.68

00:00:18.71\00:00:23.69
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.72\00:00:29.82
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.86\00:00:34.46
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.50\00:00:40.14
Mending broken people
00:00:40.17\00:00:45.67
I want to spend my life

Hello and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:09.90\00:01:13.23
My name is CA Murray,
and allow me once again
00:01:13.27\00:01:15.44
to thank you for sharing
00:01:15.47\00:01:17.11
what is probably a
very busy day for you
00:01:17.14\00:01:20.48
and a very fine
day in the Lord for us.
00:01:20.51\00:01:22.44
Thank you for your
love, your prayers,
00:01:22.48\00:01:23.85
your support of this ministry,
as for just shy of 34 years,
00:01:23.88\00:01:29.42
we with your help and aid
and assistance have together
00:01:29.45\00:01:32.79
lifted up the name
of Jesus in our attempt
00:01:32.82\00:01:36.73
to fulfill the command of Jesus
00:01:36.76\00:01:38.46
to send the
gospel around the world.
00:01:38.49\00:01:40.20
I'm very, very excited
today for number of reasons.
00:01:40.23\00:01:42.96
First, because of my guest,
and I use that term in quotes,
00:01:43.00\00:01:45.83
"guest," and because
of the subject matter
00:01:45.87\00:01:48.64
that we're going
to discuss today.
00:01:48.67\00:01:50.84
With me in the
studio, Pastor John Lomacang.
00:01:50.91\00:01:53.24
You may hear me call
him in any number of things,
00:01:53.27\00:01:56.01
he is Pastor John Lomacang
in the most formal of senses,
00:01:56.04\00:01:59.75
he is also Lomi
00:01:59.78\00:02:01.12
because I have known
him for 40 plus years,
00:02:01.15\00:02:03.15
he is rabbi because he is rabbi,
00:02:03.18\00:02:05.89
and we have a lot of
nicknames for each other
00:02:05.92\00:02:08.29
when you've known each
other as long as we have,
00:02:08.32\00:02:10.13
you develop this
little diminutive.
00:02:10.16\00:02:11.56
So, rabbi, good to
have you here, man.
00:02:11.59\00:02:13.43
Good to be
here, good to be here.
00:02:13.50\00:02:14.83
I'm excited about
not only us being here
00:02:14.86\00:02:16.67
but the topic that
we're going to cover today.
00:02:16.70\00:02:18.23
Yeah, we've got a couple
of New Yorkers here today.
00:02:18.27\00:02:20.24
That's right.
00:02:20.27\00:02:21.60
So sometimes, we may
talk like New Yorkers,
00:02:21.64\00:02:23.61
but it's good to have him here.
00:02:23.64\00:02:25.84
And we'll jump
right to the punch line
00:02:25.87\00:02:27.88
because he's here to
talk about a new book,
00:02:27.91\00:02:31.05
it's still about new that
he has been assigned to write,
00:02:31.08\00:02:33.52
he has completed
the writing of it.
00:02:33.55\00:02:35.25
In conjunction
00:02:35.28\00:02:36.62
with the Give Him
Glory musical project,
00:02:36.69\00:02:38.92
we need a companion
book to sort of walk us
00:02:38.95\00:02:42.82
through some of the things
00:02:42.86\00:02:44.23
that that wonderful
music CD and DVD speak about,
00:02:44.26\00:02:47.76
but we needed a teaching
tool to go along with that,
00:02:47.80\00:02:50.27
and John was
asked to write that.
00:02:50.30\00:02:53.07
He's done a very, very
fine job in looking over it.
00:02:53.10\00:02:55.20
So today, we
want to kind of walk
00:02:55.24\00:02:57.11
through the
three angels' messages,
00:02:57.14\00:02:59.11
first, as a doctrine
00:02:59.14\00:03:00.68
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:03:00.71\00:03:02.11
taught by really no other, John,
00:03:02.14\00:03:03.75
Protestant and
denomination as we look at it.
00:03:03.78\00:03:05.85
That's right.
00:03:05.88\00:03:07.22
Then we want to
look at the import
00:03:07.25\00:03:08.62
of the message itself,
00:03:08.65\00:03:10.32
and that's what
this book attempts to do
00:03:10.39\00:03:12.55
and does do in a very fine
way without being overly...
00:03:12.59\00:03:17.06
What can I say, John?
00:03:17.13\00:03:18.46
Overly...
00:03:18.49\00:03:19.83
Overly ecclesiastical.
Yeah, there you go.
00:03:19.86\00:03:21.33
You know that I'm
using one of your words
00:03:21.36\00:03:23.70
because, you
know, a lot of times
00:03:23.77\00:03:25.13
whenever you get into the topic
of the three angels' messages,
00:03:25.17\00:03:27.54
I've seen 300 page
books, I've seen...
00:03:27.57\00:03:29.87
Dissertations...
00:03:29.90\00:03:31.24
Precisely.
00:03:31.27\00:03:32.61
I've seen going
back to 1888 and 1844,
00:03:32.64\00:03:34.18
and going through all
the Adventist history.
00:03:34.21\00:03:35.84
Well, you don't have
to go back to go forward.
00:03:35.88\00:03:38.18
It's got enough propulsion
on itself to go forward
00:03:38.21\00:03:41.75
and that's what
I've done in the book.
00:03:41.78\00:03:43.12
Well said.
00:03:43.15\00:03:44.49
Yeah, you can turn the Book
of Revelation into a flat iron
00:03:44.52\00:03:45.85
if you wish.
00:03:45.89\00:03:47.26
It can be a very
heavy thing to drag along
00:03:47.29\00:03:48.96
or you can do as you
have done to keep it light,
00:03:48.99\00:03:51.59
keep it user-friendly...
00:03:51.63\00:03:52.96
That's right.
00:03:52.99\00:03:54.33
And yet, not do a disservice
00:03:54.36\00:03:56.10
to the weight of
the message itself.
00:03:56.13\00:03:57.57
That's right. Yeah.
00:03:57.60\00:03:58.93
So you sort of tread
the line there between
00:03:58.97\00:04:01.34
being as deep as you need to be,
00:04:01.37\00:04:03.71
but not being overly heavy
00:04:03.74\00:04:07.18
so that you're
not scaring people off
00:04:07.21\00:04:08.54
'cause Revelation
can intimidate you
00:04:08.58\00:04:09.91
as you well know as somebody
00:04:09.94\00:04:11.28
who has studied the
book for many, many years.
00:04:11.31\00:04:12.81
And what I've
done intentionally,
00:04:12.85\00:04:14.22
because just for
the benefit of those
00:04:14.25\00:04:15.75
who watch and
listen to the program,
00:04:15.78\00:04:17.49
it's only 46 pages.
00:04:17.52\00:04:18.85
Mm-hmm.
00:04:18.89\00:04:20.22
And I did that
just as an introduction,
00:04:20.26\00:04:21.59
that's why it's called
00:04:21.62\00:04:22.96
Three Angels'
Messages In Summary.
00:04:22.99\00:04:24.43
Summary, yeah.
00:04:24.46\00:04:25.79
And because it is
of such a heavy nature
00:04:25.83\00:04:28.23
that you could spend,
00:04:28.26\00:04:29.60
you know, 100 pages
on each of the messages,
00:04:29.63\00:04:31.50
not only...
00:04:31.53\00:04:32.87
And then the preamble to
it and the culmination of it.
00:04:32.90\00:04:35.57
So when you put
all that together,
00:04:35.60\00:04:36.94
you could really get a person
00:04:37.01\00:04:38.34
that doesn't have the
time in this day and age...
00:04:38.37\00:04:40.68
So I thought about
the college student,
00:04:40.71\00:04:42.88
the professional,
00:04:42.91\00:04:44.25
people that we run
into in our travels
00:04:44.28\00:04:45.88
on the airplanes,
at the airports...
00:04:45.91\00:04:48.05
People that have no clue about
00:04:48.08\00:04:50.09
what the message is
at all and secondly,
00:04:50.12\00:04:52.22
people that have no
idea about our denomination.
00:04:52.25\00:04:54.72
So what I did intentionally,
00:04:54.76\00:04:56.26
I didn't use any
denominational jargon...
00:04:56.29\00:04:58.33
Uh-huh.
00:04:58.36\00:04:59.69
And I say that respectfully,
meaning it's only Bible.
00:04:59.73\00:05:02.13
I didn't use any
quotations from Ellen White
00:05:02.16\00:05:04.07
because a lot of people
don't know who she is...
00:05:04.10\00:05:05.97
With great
respect for her writings,
00:05:06.00\00:05:07.34
which you know I have...
00:05:07.37\00:05:08.70
Mm-hmm.
00:05:08.74\00:05:10.11
But I decided, well, if
somebody decided to pick up
00:05:10.14\00:05:11.87
this book of 46 pages
with no angels on the cover,
00:05:11.91\00:05:16.41
that's intentional...
00:05:16.44\00:05:17.78
I don't want people to
be scared away by angels
00:05:17.81\00:05:19.78
because in this day and age,
00:05:19.81\00:05:21.22
our college students
don't think about angels,
00:05:21.25\00:05:23.99
they think of it
almost in the sense...
00:05:24.02\00:05:25.35
It's kind of
strange but an unusual way,
00:05:25.39\00:05:27.66
when you see angels
in bookstores today,
00:05:27.69\00:05:29.92
sadly enough, a
lot of it is leaning
00:05:29.96\00:05:32.39
toward the occult world.
00:05:32.43\00:05:33.90
Yes. Yes. It's a sad reality.
00:05:33.93\00:05:35.80
Or you think of angels
00:05:35.83\00:05:37.17
and you think of
the catholic icons
00:05:37.20\00:05:38.83
and different
churches that use it,
00:05:38.87\00:05:40.84
but that's not
how the Bible puts it,
00:05:40.87\00:05:42.24
it's just that it's
evolved into some meaning
00:05:42.27\00:05:44.01
that we don't want to
get people confused about.
00:05:44.04\00:05:46.78
But the picture on the cover...
00:05:46.81\00:05:48.14
Bring that up one more
time, I want to show them that.
00:05:48.18\00:05:49.91
The picture on the cover
shows a light coming down,
00:05:49.94\00:05:52.45
disseminating to
the entire world,
00:05:52.48\00:05:54.72
making connections,
00:05:54.75\00:05:56.08
light
connections around the world.
00:05:56.12\00:05:57.49
So in fact, the
three angels' messages
00:05:57.52\00:05:59.19
is lighting the
world with His glory,
00:05:59.22\00:06:00.66
that's the intent of the cover.
00:06:00.69\00:06:02.02
Yes, yes.
00:06:02.06\00:06:03.39
And I want to stop this
and sort of just pause there
00:06:03.43\00:06:05.56
for a moment because that's what
00:06:05.59\00:06:06.93
jumped out at me.
00:06:07.00\00:06:08.33
One, it's an attractive
cover, it's an inviting cover,
00:06:08.36\00:06:10.77
but the word that would catch me
00:06:10.80\00:06:13.00
is the Three
Angels' Messages In Summary.
00:06:13.03\00:06:15.20
That's right.
00:06:15.24\00:06:16.57
So I know I'm
going to get a summation
00:06:16.60\00:06:17.94
and not some big long heavy opus
00:06:17.97\00:06:20.18
that is gonna keep
me locked down for days
00:06:20.21\00:06:21.91
and weeks and
months, it's a summary,
00:06:21.94\00:06:23.65
and yet all of the
information is there
00:06:23.68\00:06:25.48
that a person will need
to understand the doctrine.
00:06:25.51\00:06:27.98
That's right. And so I read...
00:06:28.02\00:06:29.35
I did 46 pages because I
want to make it user-friendly
00:06:29.38\00:06:32.65
if you're on a flight, wherever
you're going, just even if...
00:06:32.69\00:06:35.49
Yeah, just put
plain material. Right.
00:06:35.52\00:06:36.86
You can just...
00:06:36.93\00:06:38.26
If you're between classes
or you're on your way home
00:06:38.29\00:06:40.40
or you decide one
evening or in your school,
00:06:40.43\00:06:43.70
spare time at lunch,
00:06:43.77\00:06:45.10
you want to thumb through it,
you can put this in your bag,
00:06:45.13\00:06:47.44
you know, you're
not losing any capacity
00:06:47.47\00:06:49.90
to put something else in there,
00:06:49.94\00:06:51.27
you're not
overweighting yourself
00:06:51.31\00:06:52.64
with a book...
00:06:52.67\00:06:54.01
You know, having to sit down
00:06:54.08\00:06:55.41
for hours and
look at something...
00:06:55.44\00:06:56.78
Precisely. It's
taking you right to...
00:06:56.81\00:06:58.15
And what it does...
00:06:58.18\00:06:59.51
And the other thing
about it, it doesn't...
00:06:59.55\00:07:01.15
Don't let the size
fool you because...
00:07:01.18\00:07:03.92
You know those
medication pills you get
00:07:03.99\00:07:05.85
from the doctor.
00:07:05.89\00:07:07.26
They're really,
really small but he said,
00:07:07.29\00:07:08.62
"Don't make a
mistake and take two"?
00:07:08.66\00:07:10.76
Well, that's what
this book is all about.
00:07:10.83\00:07:12.16
Good deal.
00:07:12.19\00:07:13.53
It's small but
it is concentrated,
00:07:13.56\00:07:15.40
it doesn't bypass,
00:07:15.43\00:07:16.77
it doesn't
sidestep the issues...
00:07:16.80\00:07:18.40
And we'll talk about
that in just a moment.
00:07:18.43\00:07:19.77
Excellent.
00:07:19.80\00:07:21.14
Let's talk just for a moment
before we go to our music,
00:07:21.17\00:07:22.60
John, speaking of
music, about the project
00:07:22.64\00:07:25.21
that this has
been combined with.
00:07:25.24\00:07:27.48
You have a great part
in that project also...
00:07:27.51\00:07:30.25
You're featured on that project,
00:07:30.28\00:07:31.78
but let's sort of
just tie that knot
00:07:31.81\00:07:34.95
just a little bit
between what this is explaining
00:07:34.98\00:07:37.59
and the original project
00:07:37.62\00:07:38.95
that made this
come into existence.
00:07:38.99\00:07:41.16
Well, Give Him Glory,
which is a beautiful project,
00:07:41.19\00:07:45.29
it was inspired by the
three angels' messages.
00:07:45.33\00:07:47.76
A number of writers
like Lanny Wolfe, also...
00:07:47.80\00:07:52.77
The names don't come
to my mind right away,
00:07:52.80\00:07:54.24
but a number of
project writers, very good,
00:07:54.27\00:07:57.11
Dave Huntsinger...
00:07:57.14\00:07:58.47
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:58.51\00:07:59.84
And David Clydesdale,
a great orchestrator...
00:07:59.87\00:08:04.88
Christ Wilkinson,
00:08:04.91\00:08:06.51
all these
writers and musicians...
00:08:06.55\00:08:09.22
And the word
musician is an understatement
00:08:09.25\00:08:10.89
for their categories.
00:08:10.92\00:08:12.25
I mean, each one of
them is in a category
00:08:12.29\00:08:13.89
all by him or herself.
00:08:13.96\00:08:15.29
It's very true.
00:08:15.32\00:08:16.66
Because they're so good at
what they do, but because...
00:08:16.69\00:08:18.19
And there's one
continuation between all of them
00:08:18.23\00:08:20.90
is none of them is Adventist.
00:08:20.93\00:08:23.16
And Danny, the
Lord impresses him
00:08:23.20\00:08:25.43
in such an amazing way,
00:08:25.47\00:08:26.84
he tried to find a way
to introduce this message
00:08:26.87\00:08:28.87
to the Christian world at large.
00:08:28.90\00:08:30.81
What better way than people
00:08:30.84\00:08:32.17
that have a large rubber stamp
in the Christian world already?
00:08:32.21\00:08:34.84
So when Lanny Wolfe
decided to take on the task,
00:08:34.88\00:08:37.55
he said wonderfully,
he says, "For many years,
00:08:37.58\00:08:40.02
with more than 700
songs very well known,
00:08:40.05\00:08:42.42
like More Than Wonderful,
Someone is Praying For You,
00:08:42.45\00:08:45.65
a number of other songs
00:08:45.69\00:08:47.06
that are very well
known in the Christian world.
00:08:47.09\00:08:49.76
He said, most of the songs
he wrote were 90% Lanny Wolfe,
00:08:49.79\00:08:55.36
10% percent God,
that's the phrase he used.
00:08:55.40\00:08:58.07
But then he said, when he
got to the Book of Revelation
00:08:58.10\00:08:59.97
and the three angels' messages,
00:09:00.04\00:09:01.60
he said, "First of all,
I've never heard about them."
00:09:01.64\00:09:02.97
Right. Yeah.
00:09:03.00\00:09:04.34
"Secondly, I don't
know what they are."
00:09:04.37\00:09:05.74
He said, "You know,
we take the Book of Acts
00:09:05.77\00:09:07.11
and we do a holy
dance around it."
00:09:07.18\00:09:08.91
Yeah. He is such a great guy.
00:09:08.94\00:09:10.38
But he said...
00:09:10.45\00:09:11.78
So he knew right off the bat,
00:09:11.81\00:09:13.15
this was not a valley
in which he was going to go
00:09:13.18\00:09:15.58
with his own sword
and come out successful,
00:09:15.62\00:09:17.92
so he went into this
valley completely blindfolded,
00:09:17.95\00:09:20.96
being led by the
hand of God to understand
00:09:20.99\00:09:22.96
what these messages are,
and it transformed his life,
00:09:22.99\00:09:26.29
it transformed the lives
00:09:26.33\00:09:27.66
in the
understanding of all those
00:09:27.70\00:09:29.03
who participated in it.
00:09:29.06\00:09:30.40
So each of the
songs are inspired
00:09:30.47\00:09:31.80
by the three angels' messages,
but as you said earlier,
00:09:31.83\00:09:34.67
to give support
to that, I decided...
00:09:34.70\00:09:37.01
And Danny had asked
me a few months ago.
00:09:37.04\00:09:39.04
He said, "Write
something about it."
00:09:39.07\00:09:40.88
And so we decided
non-threatening, very thin,
00:09:40.91\00:09:43.95
it almost disappears on
air when you turn it sideways,
00:09:43.98\00:09:46.51
to put something
together and praise God.
00:09:46.55\00:09:49.22
This booklet has
now been disseminated,
00:09:49.25\00:09:52.69
I think they're up to
more than 35,000 already,
00:09:52.72\00:09:55.79
and we're about to go
into another printing.
00:09:55.82\00:09:57.76
And we're going to talk
about the importance of it
00:09:57.79\00:09:59.76
and why it needs to be sent
into every corner of the world
00:09:59.79\00:10:04.17
because it is, in fact,
00:10:04.20\00:10:06.03
the last act in the
drama of the great controversy.
00:10:06.07\00:10:08.97
Yes. It's the final act.
00:10:09.00\00:10:10.91
You remember years ago the FBI?
00:10:10.94\00:10:12.71
You know, act one, act
two, act three, then epilogue.
00:10:12.74\00:10:14.28
Yes, yes, yes.
It's an old movie.
00:10:14.31\00:10:16.28
Those of you who are
young just bear with us.
00:10:16.31\00:10:18.38
But this is the epilogue
of the Christian journey,
00:10:18.41\00:10:22.25
and Revelation
is not to be feared
00:10:22.28\00:10:25.55
but to be dived into.
00:10:25.59\00:10:27.86
And so if you paid
for a two hour movie
00:10:27.89\00:10:30.63
and you saw an
hour and 45 minutes
00:10:30.66\00:10:32.76
and then they cut the
screen off, you'll say,
00:10:32.79\00:10:34.66
"Hey, what did you just do?"
00:10:34.70\00:10:37.27
And he'll say, "The last
15 minutes don't matter."
00:10:37.30\00:10:39.70
Well, that's the
height of the whole thing.
00:10:39.73\00:10:41.17
Precisely.
00:10:41.20\00:10:42.54
And so the
three angels' messages
00:10:42.57\00:10:43.91
is the last 15
minutes of Christian history.
00:10:43.94\00:10:46.91
And most
Christians, and I'm saying this,
00:10:46.98\00:10:49.41
most Christian churches,
00:10:49.44\00:10:51.48
most Christian
pastors do not read it,
00:10:51.51\00:10:56.38
they don't communicate it
00:10:56.42\00:10:57.75
because there is
this eschatological belief
00:10:57.79\00:11:00.56
in Christianity today
00:11:00.59\00:11:02.12
that beyond Revelation 4,
they insert in there, they say,
00:11:02.16\00:11:07.20
Revelation 4 describes
the rapture of the church,
00:11:07.23\00:11:10.87
the church being
taken out of the world.
00:11:10.90\00:11:12.80
So they say, "Revelation 5
to 22 really doesn't matter..."
00:11:12.83\00:11:16.74
"Because you're
not here anyway."
00:11:16.81\00:11:18.24
Well, that's not
scripturally correct.
00:11:18.27\00:11:19.61
Correct.
00:11:19.64\00:11:20.98
So this message will clearly
00:11:21.01\00:11:23.45
become a victim of
that kind of mentality.
00:11:23.48\00:11:25.88
So people today...
00:11:25.91\00:11:27.25
And I tested this on the
plane, I gave this to a lady
00:11:27.32\00:11:30.09
who is of a
different denomination,
00:11:30.12\00:11:32.52
as I was writing down,
00:11:32.55\00:11:33.89
she said, "What
are you writing?"
00:11:33.96\00:11:35.29
And I said, "Oh, I'm
doing a project on..."
00:11:35.32\00:11:36.66
And I talked about the
three angels' messages.
00:11:36.69\00:11:38.46
She said, "What is that?"
00:11:38.49\00:11:39.89
And I shared it
with her, and she travels
00:11:39.93\00:11:42.43
and does seminars
all over the world.
00:11:42.46\00:11:44.30
She says, "First of all,
can I ask you a question?
00:11:44.33\00:11:47.44
Why have I not heard about that?
00:11:47.47\00:11:48.80
I've been a
Christian almost all my life."
00:11:48.84\00:11:50.84
I said...
00:11:50.91\00:11:52.24
"You got to ask your pastor."
00:11:52.27\00:11:54.28
You know, and she said...
00:11:54.31\00:11:56.24
And I said...
00:11:56.28\00:11:57.68
So I told her how to
get a copy of the book,
00:11:57.71\00:12:00.22
this is before it was done.
00:12:00.25\00:12:01.82
And she said,
00:12:01.85\00:12:03.18
"I cannot wait to go
home and tell my husband,
00:12:03.22\00:12:04.92
and I'm surely going to
ask my pastor this weekend
00:12:04.95\00:12:07.79
why we don't know about this."
00:12:07.82\00:12:09.19
It's a message that is of final
00:12:09.22\00:12:11.69
and dynamic
importance to everyone living.
00:12:11.73\00:12:14.03
And let me say this,
00:12:14.10\00:12:15.43
whether you are
a Christian or not,
00:12:15.46\00:12:17.67
these messages are
going to impact you
00:12:17.70\00:12:19.67
in a tremendous way.
00:12:19.70\00:12:21.64
So this is not
just a Christian message
00:12:21.67\00:12:23.61
but this is the last movie.
00:12:23.64\00:12:25.01
So if all of a sudden,
the Emergency Broadcast System
00:12:25.04\00:12:27.71
in the United
States decided to go off
00:12:27.74\00:12:29.74
and it was not a test...
00:12:29.78\00:12:31.38
Everybody's
going to pay attention.
00:12:31.41\00:12:32.75
Precisely.
00:12:32.78\00:12:34.12
This is more important than
the Emergency Broadcast System
00:12:34.15\00:12:35.65
for the United States.
00:12:35.68\00:12:37.19
This is a worldwide
emergency broadcast.
00:12:37.22\00:12:39.22
It occurs to me that as
good as the musical project is,
00:12:39.25\00:12:42.56
it cannot...
00:12:42.59\00:12:43.93
You cannot in a song
answer every question.
00:12:43.96\00:12:45.73
No The fact that there are...
00:12:45.76\00:12:47.10
You may create some questions
00:12:47.13\00:12:48.46
that that cannot be answered
in that particular song.
00:12:48.50\00:12:50.67
So this then is a primmer,
it is a syllabus to go along
00:12:50.70\00:12:55.24
with that so that when questions
00:12:55.27\00:12:56.71
are generated by the
music, the answers are here.
00:12:56.74\00:12:59.47
So that makes it
very, very necessary.
00:12:59.51\00:13:01.11
And I appreciate the
fact that you had respect
00:13:01.14\00:13:04.35
for the time of your reader
00:13:04.38\00:13:06.11
by not making it
excessively long.
00:13:06.15\00:13:07.72
The thing about the
Book of Revelation, pastor,
00:13:07.75\00:13:09.78
is the fact that truth is
there but you've got to dig,
00:13:09.82\00:13:13.46
and some people
are afraid to dig,
00:13:13.49\00:13:14.89
some people don't
have the tools to dig,
00:13:14.92\00:13:16.56
some people's
shovels are not sharp enough,
00:13:16.59\00:13:18.36
but it's there.
00:13:18.39\00:13:19.73
And the point is
that the music project
00:13:19.76\00:13:23.20
doesn't answer all
of the questions...
00:13:23.23\00:13:24.80
But surely exposes the doctrine,
00:13:24.83\00:13:26.87
but in doing so it may create
00:13:26.94\00:13:28.97
as many questions as it answers.
00:13:29.00\00:13:31.07
So you've got
this companion book
00:13:31.11\00:13:32.54
that allows you to
go to the next level...
00:13:32.57\00:13:34.31
That's right.
00:13:34.34\00:13:35.68
And that's why what
you've done is so necessary
00:13:35.71\00:13:37.08
because any
question that is asked
00:13:37.15\00:13:39.38
can be answered in
a short concise way
00:13:39.41\00:13:42.38
in this book.
00:13:42.42\00:13:43.79
That's right. Yeah.
00:13:43.82\00:13:45.62
Let's do this, pastor,
00:13:45.65\00:13:47.06
let's go to a
song from the project.
00:13:47.09\00:13:49.82
Kind of work our appetites,
then I'm gonna come back
00:13:49.86\00:13:51.93
and sort of loose and let you go
00:13:51.96\00:13:53.29
'cause we have a lot to cover
and not a lot of time to do it.
00:13:53.33\00:13:55.70
The song is,
"Behold, I Come Quickly."
00:13:55.73\00:13:58.20
That's right.
00:13:58.23\00:13:59.57
Yeah, a great
song from the project.
00:13:59.60\00:14:00.94
You'll enjoy this, then
we're going to come back
00:14:00.97\00:14:02.54
and sort of
turn the pastor loose
00:14:02.57\00:14:03.91
and let him talk to us
about this wonderful book.
00:14:03.94\00:14:06.11
You can see that
the audience enjoyed
00:18:24.17\00:18:26.60
that presentation very much.
00:18:26.63\00:18:27.97
It was a worship atmosphere
that evening when we produced
00:18:28.00\00:18:31.04
that during the
2018 spring camp meeting.
00:18:31.07\00:18:34.08
Really, really wonderful time.
00:18:34.11\00:18:36.41
The project is
ready, the CD is ready,
00:18:36.44\00:18:39.41
the DVD is in the
process of being ready,
00:18:39.45\00:18:42.38
and by the time you
call in for your order,
00:18:42.42\00:18:44.09
it'll be there for you.
00:18:44.12\00:18:45.55
In the meantime,
Danny felt it necessary
00:18:45.59\00:18:49.52
to add a companion book
00:18:49.56\00:18:51.33
to this very, very fine project.
00:18:51.36\00:18:53.70
John was asked to do that,
we have that with us today.
00:18:53.73\00:18:56.60
We're going to talk about that.
00:18:56.67\00:18:58.00
Pastor, I'm going to
sort of give you head now
00:18:58.03\00:18:59.37
and let you sort of walk
us through what you want us
00:18:59.40\00:19:01.27
to know about
this particular book
00:19:01.30\00:19:03.00
and about the doctrine per se.
00:19:03.04\00:19:06.37
Well, first of all,
the three angels' messages,
00:19:06.41\00:19:08.01
as I said
earlier in the program,
00:19:08.04\00:19:09.38
is the culminating,
00:19:09.41\00:19:10.75
it's the last act in
the drama of Christianity.
00:19:10.78\00:19:14.22
But it's not just
a Christian doctrine,
00:19:14.25\00:19:15.75
it's a doctrine
that's going to encompass
00:19:15.78\00:19:17.49
the entire world.
00:19:17.52\00:19:18.85
Giving an
example, we talk about...
00:19:18.89\00:19:21.02
Any of the doctrine
00:19:21.06\00:19:22.39
that the
Christian church practices
00:19:22.42\00:19:23.76
primarily affects
the Christian's life.
00:19:23.83\00:19:26.39
This is the one doctrine
that affects everyone's life.
00:19:26.43\00:19:29.50
You know, you talk about
00:19:29.53\00:19:30.87
how you worship on the weekends,
00:19:30.90\00:19:32.50
some people go
to church on Sunday,
00:19:32.53\00:19:33.87
some go on Sabbath.
00:19:33.94\00:19:35.27
We know the Bible
supports Sabbath worship,
00:19:35.30\00:19:37.71
but then people talk about diet,
00:19:37.74\00:19:39.14
dress, their
music, their lifestyle,
00:19:39.17\00:19:40.98
that all affects
the Christian in his
00:19:41.01\00:19:42.81
or her own community,
00:19:42.84\00:19:44.61
but the three angels'
messages affects everyone
00:19:44.65\00:19:47.42
in every community.
00:19:47.45\00:19:49.35
When the Lord gave the
commission in Matthew 28,
00:19:49.38\00:19:51.25
"Go therefore and make disciples
00:19:51.29\00:19:52.62
of all nations."
00:19:52.65\00:19:53.99
Or "Go ye therefore
and teach all nations."
00:19:54.06\00:19:56.29
That commission was
to the entire world,
00:19:56.32\00:19:58.53
everybody in the world.
00:19:58.56\00:19:59.89
So the revelation
message of the three angels
00:19:59.93\00:20:02.13
is a message that is
for the entire world,
00:20:02.16\00:20:05.00
I'll break each
message down in just a moment.
00:20:05.03\00:20:07.70
But in the first
message, God calls,
00:20:07.74\00:20:10.41
in the second
message, God identifies,
00:20:10.44\00:20:13.41
and in the third
message, God warns.
00:20:13.48\00:20:16.31
Calls, identifies, and warns.
00:20:16.34\00:20:18.75
So let's go ahead and
look at the first message.
00:20:18.78\00:20:20.52
Revelation 13...
00:20:20.55\00:20:22.58
Revelation 14, and we're going
to look at the first message
00:20:22.62\00:20:26.42
of the three angels.
00:20:26.45\00:20:27.99
And by the way, if
you look at the Bible
00:20:28.02\00:20:29.49
as you go in Revelation 14,
00:20:29.52\00:20:31.36
there are so many
threes in Scripture.
00:20:31.39\00:20:34.73
If you just do a
search on threes in the Bible,
00:20:34.76\00:20:37.93
for example,
going all the way back,
00:20:37.97\00:20:39.43
Noah had three sons,
00:20:39.47\00:20:41.60
there were three
days' darkness on Egypt
00:20:41.64\00:20:44.37
when the Lord sent his plagues.
00:20:44.41\00:20:46.68
Pharaoh was told by Moses
00:20:46.71\00:20:49.48
that we're going to
go three days' journey
00:20:49.51\00:20:51.61
into the wilderness
to worship the Lord.
00:20:51.65\00:20:53.72
Then you have the
three major feasts
00:20:53.75\00:20:55.32
in the Bible that only the males
00:20:55.35\00:20:56.69
were supposed to show up at,
00:20:56.72\00:20:58.19
the Feast of Unleavened
Bread, the Feast of Weeks,
00:20:58.22\00:20:59.89
and the Feast of Tabernacles.
00:20:59.92\00:21:01.26
Tabernacles, correct.
00:21:01.29\00:21:02.62
Then you also have
three days and three nights,
00:21:02.66\00:21:04.59
Jonah in the belly of the fish.
00:21:04.63\00:21:06.43
And in the same sign,
three days and three night
00:21:06.46\00:21:08.30
Jesus in the heart of the earth.
00:21:08.33\00:21:10.07
But then you had the
three angels' messages
00:21:10.10\00:21:12.90
of Revelation
14, and then you have
00:21:12.93\00:21:15.14
the counter of the
three angels' messages,
00:21:15.17\00:21:18.97
the three unclean spirits.
00:21:19.01\00:21:21.38
So when you look at
Revelation, there is the Christ
00:21:21.41\00:21:24.88
and then there
is the antichrist.
00:21:24.91\00:21:26.95
There is a system from
God and there is a system
00:21:27.02\00:21:29.45
from the enemy or Satan
that wants to counteract.
00:21:29.48\00:21:33.39
So before we look
at the three messages
00:21:33.46\00:21:34.79
of the angels, these messages
00:21:34.82\00:21:36.62
include the
Godhead, the Father, the Son,
00:21:36.66\00:21:38.76
and the Holy Spirit,
the most important three.
00:21:38.79\00:21:41.33
So the Father, the Son,
00:21:41.36\00:21:42.70
and the Holy Spirit are
unified in the proclamation
00:21:42.73\00:21:45.57
of the three angels'
messages to the entire world,
00:21:45.60\00:21:48.37
but the message is
clearly depicted here
00:21:48.40\00:21:50.54
in Revelation 14:6, 7,
and I read the first message.
00:21:50.61\00:21:55.48
It says:
00:21:55.51\00:21:57.88
Notice, the first
message is to every nation,
00:22:19.67\00:22:23.41
every tribe, every
tongue, every people.
00:22:23.44\00:22:26.41
Let me put this in the
context of what I see it.
00:22:26.44\00:22:28.84
It's like of the atomic blast.
00:22:28.88\00:22:31.08
Every nation on
earth will be affected
00:22:31.11\00:22:32.61
by an atomic blast.
00:22:32.65\00:22:34.45
So there is no such thing
as a limited nuclear exchange.
00:22:34.48\00:22:37.49
No, it's
oxymoron. It's an oxymoron.
00:22:37.52\00:22:39.29
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:39.32\00:22:40.66
So if I have
1,500 nuclear weapons,
00:22:40.69\00:22:42.46
you only have 1,399,
00:22:42.49\00:22:44.53
I'm not going to say
I'm stronger than you are
00:22:44.56\00:22:45.89
because if one goes off,
00:22:45.93\00:22:47.76
the entire world
is affected by it.
00:22:47.80\00:22:50.47
When you break down
00:22:50.50\00:22:51.83
these messages
in its components,
00:22:51.87\00:22:53.37
first of all,
you have three angels
00:22:53.44\00:22:57.11
which signify the
importance of the message,
00:22:57.14\00:22:59.24
this is a symbolism of the great
00:22:59.27\00:23:01.71
importance of the message.
00:23:01.74\00:23:03.45
Preachers,
teachers, messengers of God
00:23:03.48\00:23:05.88
are proclaiming a
vitally important message.
00:23:05.91\00:23:08.25
You don't have literal angels
in the heavens flying around,
00:23:08.28\00:23:10.42
yelling down from,
you know, 35,000 feet.
00:23:10.49\00:23:13.29
This is the
import of the message.
00:23:13.36\00:23:14.79
And when you see in the Bible
the importance of the message,
00:23:14.82\00:23:17.33
angels were sent a lot.
00:23:17.36\00:23:20.23
You see, you have
angels that came and visited,
00:23:20.30\00:23:23.77
an angel came and visited Mary.
00:23:23.80\00:23:25.93
And so when you look at
the visitation of angels
00:23:25.97\00:23:27.64
throughout the scriptures,
00:23:27.67\00:23:29.10
it was always at a
very important venture,
00:23:29.14\00:23:30.91
the message was
one not to be ignored,
00:23:30.94\00:23:32.87
not to be overlooked.
00:23:32.91\00:23:34.34
So you have the first angel
and he's saying the message
00:23:34.38\00:23:37.88
with a loud voice.
00:23:37.91\00:23:40.02
So if I'm going to proclaim
something with a loud voice,
00:23:40.05\00:23:43.32
that means it's
of great importance.
00:23:43.39\00:23:45.19
So this message is of
such great importance,
00:23:45.22\00:23:47.46
that is to every nation,
every tribe, every tongue,
00:23:47.49\00:23:49.66
every people, and
then what is it saying?
00:23:49.69\00:23:52.59
Fear God,
meaning that's the moment
00:23:52.63\00:23:54.80
that when all the
other gods of the world
00:23:54.83\00:23:56.87
are fading into insignificance,
00:23:56.90\00:23:58.83
it's bringing us
back to God, fear God.
00:23:58.87\00:24:00.84
Yeah. And which God?
00:24:00.87\00:24:02.20
Mm-hmm.
00:24:02.24\00:24:03.57
The one who made the
heavens and the earth,
00:24:03.61\00:24:05.71
the sea and the
springs of waters.
00:24:05.74\00:24:07.31
Pastor, I want to just tap
the brake on in just a moment
00:24:07.38\00:24:10.08
because you've
really hit on something
00:24:10.15\00:24:12.51
I don't want our
folk to miss, one,
00:24:12.55\00:24:14.15
the exalted
nature of the message.
00:24:14.22\00:24:15.85
One, the angels
are flying up above.
00:24:15.88\00:24:18.95
Two, it's in the hand of angels.
00:24:18.99\00:24:20.76
Not given to a man to
give, this is something...
00:24:20.79\00:24:24.73
Speaking with a
loud voice. That's right.
00:24:24.76\00:24:26.09
So it's something
that should not be ignored,
00:24:26.13\00:24:28.13
cannot be ignored
because of its importance
00:24:28.16\00:24:30.90
to the whole world.
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.30
Flying angles, loud voice,
00:24:32.33\00:24:34.34
God really wants you
to hear what's coming.
00:24:34.37\00:24:36.07
And so the whole
world, they're told...
00:24:36.10\00:24:38.11
They're saying, "Fear
God and give glory to Him."
00:24:38.14\00:24:41.98
Now it's amazing why the phrase
00:24:42.01\00:24:44.25
"Fear God" is
there because at a time,
00:24:44.28\00:24:46.58
when fear is gripping the world,
00:24:46.61\00:24:49.25
you know, men's heart
is failing them for fear
00:24:49.28\00:24:51.39
because if we think that
we see anything happening
00:24:51.42\00:24:53.05
to our world, just
give us some more time,
00:24:53.09\00:24:55.42
it's going to get to the place
of cataclysmic interruptions
00:24:55.46\00:24:58.43
all over our world,
00:24:58.46\00:24:59.79
and when "Men's hearts
are failing them for fear
00:24:59.83\00:25:02.36
and looking after those things
00:25:02.40\00:25:03.77
coming on the earth," Luke 21...
00:25:03.80\00:25:07.54
We're going to see that
men's hearts are focused
00:25:07.57\00:25:12.01
in a completely
different direction.
00:25:12.04\00:25:14.78
They're going
to be seeing things
00:25:14.81\00:25:16.68
that are bringing their hearts
to a stop, and God is saying,
00:25:16.75\00:25:19.91
"While you're fearing
what's happening around you..."
00:25:19.95\00:25:22.65
"Fear God and
give glory to Him."
00:25:22.68\00:25:24.19
That means honor
Him, it's a call back,
00:25:24.22\00:25:26.79
God is calling men
back to the true God,
00:25:26.86\00:25:30.36
and then it is letting them know
00:25:30.43\00:25:32.16
the hour of His
judgment has come.
00:25:32.19\00:25:34.20
Very important here
00:25:34.23\00:25:35.56
because the hour of
the judgment is synonymous
00:25:35.60\00:25:37.97
to the language that we
know in the Old Testament.
00:25:38.00\00:25:40.24
Every year, the
Jewish nation faced
00:25:40.27\00:25:41.94
an hour of judgment.
00:25:41.97\00:25:43.30
Very true.
00:25:43.34\00:25:44.67
It was the final
handling of their sins,
00:25:44.71\00:25:46.78
it was called
The Day of Atonement.
00:25:46.81\00:25:48.38
When God
proclaimed this yearly feast,
00:25:48.41\00:25:50.78
the Day of Atonement,
00:25:50.85\00:25:52.35
it was when people had to
look at themselves and account
00:25:52.38\00:25:54.85
and provide a
sacrifice for their sins.
00:25:54.88\00:25:57.29
Well, who is
the final sacrifice?
00:25:57.32\00:25:58.92
Jesus is.
00:25:58.95\00:26:00.29
He gave His life
to save all of us.
00:26:00.36\00:26:01.82
So in this very pivotal
hour of earth's history,
00:26:01.86\00:26:04.76
when probation
for man is closing
00:26:04.79\00:26:06.83
because the
world has got to come
00:26:06.90\00:26:08.23
to an end sooner or later.
00:26:08.26\00:26:09.80
But when the hour of judgment...
00:26:09.83\00:26:11.27
We're living in that
time of judgment that we are,
00:26:11.30\00:26:14.80
the best decision we can
make in this time of judgment
00:26:14.84\00:26:18.04
is to go back to
honoring the true God,
00:26:18.07\00:26:20.41
not the god of money,
00:26:20.48\00:26:21.81
not the god of lifestyle,
not the god of materialism,
00:26:21.84\00:26:23.55
not the god of all
these different occult
00:26:23.58\00:26:25.55
and false religions
00:26:25.58\00:26:26.92
but the one who
created the heavens
00:26:26.95\00:26:28.28
and the earth.
00:26:28.32\00:26:29.65
That's the only true God. Yes.
00:26:29.68\00:26:31.02
His stamp is everywhere.
00:26:31.05\00:26:32.55
The only true God is
also tagged by Christ,
00:26:32.59\00:26:37.43
who is the only one
that conquered death.
00:26:37.46\00:26:40.10
So this message, the
message of Revelation,
00:26:40.13\00:26:42.80
is a revelation of Jesus Christ.
00:26:42.83\00:26:44.97
We must honor Him,
give an account for our sin,
00:26:45.00\00:26:48.57
and the judgment hour
is what's calling us back.
00:26:48.60\00:26:51.87
So as I deal with
the first chapter,
00:26:51.91\00:26:53.98
I talk about the
everlasting gospel,
00:26:54.01\00:26:56.18
you cannot miss
the everlasting gospel.
00:26:56.21\00:26:58.61
The everlasting
gospel, since it's everlasting,
00:26:58.65\00:27:02.05
it is not a gospel that
changes through the years,
00:27:02.08\00:27:05.25
it's a gospel proclaimed
from the very beginning,
00:27:05.29\00:27:07.39
from the fall of man to
the end of the issue of sin,
00:27:07.46\00:27:10.83
that's the continued gospel.
00:27:10.86\00:27:12.19
Precisely.
00:27:12.23\00:27:13.60
"For by grace are
we saved through faith,
00:27:13.63\00:27:15.30
and that not of yourselves,
00:27:15.33\00:27:16.80
it is a gift of
God, not of works,
00:27:16.87\00:27:18.80
lest any man should boast."
00:27:18.83\00:27:20.17
So unequivocally,
if you're listening
00:27:20.24\00:27:21.84
from any other
denomination, put a pin in this.
00:27:21.87\00:27:25.17
Seventh-day
Adventist Christians believe
00:27:25.21\00:27:26.91
in salvation by grace
through faith in Jesus alone.
00:27:26.98\00:27:29.78
Can I get an
amen? Amen and amen.
00:27:29.81\00:27:31.15
And congregation.
00:27:31.18\00:27:32.78
Okay, salvation by grace
through faith in Christ alone,
00:27:32.81\00:27:36.82
that's the everlasting gospel.
00:27:36.89\00:27:38.22
From the Garden of Eden
00:27:38.25\00:27:39.59
to the culmination
of the return of Jesus,
00:27:39.62\00:27:41.99
salvation by grace
through faith in Christ alone.
00:27:42.02\00:27:44.56
You cannot work
your way into salvation.
00:27:44.59\00:27:47.40
There's nothing you can
do to add to your salvation,
00:27:47.43\00:27:50.17
but because you are
in a saving relationship,
00:27:50.20\00:27:52.53
you are responsible to
live your life and walk
00:27:52.57\00:27:54.90
according to the
dictates of God's Word.
00:27:54.94\00:27:56.81
Amen. Amen.
00:27:56.84\00:27:58.17
So this whole idea
of... And I talk about...
00:27:58.21\00:28:00.18
"There is no other
name given among men
00:28:00.21\00:28:02.81
whereby we must be
saved than the name of Jesus."
00:28:02.84\00:28:05.95
He is the redeemer.
00:28:05.98\00:28:07.32
So I treat this
with such distinct...
00:28:07.35\00:28:12.05
I begin the
book and end the book
00:28:12.09\00:28:14.56
with a beautiful representation
00:28:14.59\00:28:16.46
that Jesus is the only redeemer,
00:28:16.49\00:28:19.09
there is no other redeemer,
00:28:19.13\00:28:20.83
not Buddha, not
the Islamic leader,
00:28:20.90\00:28:25.47
no other redeemer
on earth except Jesus.
00:28:25.50\00:28:29.27
We must all go through
Christ, I deal with that.
00:28:29.30\00:28:32.01
Then I talk about every nation,
kindred, tongue, and people,
00:28:32.04\00:28:34.61
the everlasting gospel
which is the commission,
00:28:34.64\00:28:37.08
the commission simply is
go and teach all nations.
00:28:37.15\00:28:41.22
And then that invitation to
00:28:41.25\00:28:42.58
"Come unto me all you who
are weary and heavy laden."
00:28:42.62\00:28:45.22
So the first angel's message,
00:28:45.25\00:28:47.39
which I'm not going to
take a ton more time on,
00:28:47.46\00:28:49.79
is covered in a beautiful way.
00:28:49.82\00:28:52.09
Once again, fear God
and give glory to Him,
00:28:52.13\00:28:55.20
we're living in
the judgment hour
00:28:55.23\00:28:56.56
when we must take
an account of our sin
00:28:56.60\00:28:58.80
because the issue is not...
00:28:58.83\00:29:00.17
Jesus is not coming
back to destroy people,
00:29:00.24\00:29:02.34
He's coming back to destroy sin.
00:29:02.37\00:29:04.01
Yes, yes.
00:29:04.04\00:29:05.37
When we know that,
we don't think of Jesus
00:29:05.41\00:29:06.74
as some kind
assassin with a scope
00:29:06.78\00:29:08.11
from a long distance,
00:29:08.14\00:29:09.74
but He's coming
back to destroy sin,
00:29:09.78\00:29:11.38
and anybody connected to
sin will be destroyed with sin.
00:29:11.41\00:29:13.62
See, that's the thing.
00:29:13.65\00:29:14.98
The controversy is
between Christ and sin.
00:29:15.02\00:29:17.62
He wants to destroy sin,
and the collateral damage is
00:29:17.65\00:29:20.86
those that are in sin
00:29:20.89\00:29:22.22
will have to be
destroyed at the same time.
00:29:22.26\00:29:23.93
Your point is so clear,
00:29:23.96\00:29:25.39
and I'm trying to
cut you off here...
00:29:25.43\00:29:27.60
You've got me kind
of full of the subject,
00:29:27.63\00:29:29.56
the idea that
the coming of Christ
00:29:29.60\00:29:31.30
is a cosmic event.
00:29:31.33\00:29:32.67
That's right.
00:29:32.70\00:29:34.04
Ready or not, the whole world
00:29:34.07\00:29:35.40
is going to be involved in that.
00:29:35.44\00:29:36.81
So these
messages or this message,
00:29:36.84\00:29:38.51
divided into three sections,
00:29:38.54\00:29:39.97
is preparing you
for a cosmic event
00:29:40.01\00:29:42.14
which is going to take
place and cover the whole world,
00:29:42.18\00:29:45.35
so it's of universal importance
00:29:45.38\00:29:47.52
whether you
believe in it or not,
00:29:47.55\00:29:49.15
accept it or
not, like it or not,
00:29:49.18\00:29:50.99
you're part of this thing.
00:29:51.02\00:29:52.42
Everybody. Right.
00:29:52.45\00:29:53.79
I mean, if there
was an atomic blast,
00:29:53.86\00:29:55.72
a guy that doesn't go to church
00:29:55.76\00:29:57.13
can't say,
"Please, don't touch me."
00:29:57.16\00:29:58.89
"Yeah, don't bother me."
00:29:58.93\00:30:00.30
Everybody is
going to be involved.
00:30:00.33\00:30:01.66
If there's an earthquake,
00:30:01.70\00:30:03.03
everybody, rich
and poor, going down.
00:30:03.06\00:30:05.40
If there's a
tsunami, He doesn't say,
00:30:05.43\00:30:06.77
"Well, let's
just drown the people
00:30:06.84\00:30:08.17
that are just poor and
let the rich people live."
00:30:08.20\00:30:10.81
Everybody, this...
00:30:10.84\00:30:12.77
Pastor CA, the importance
of this book cannot be
00:30:12.81\00:30:15.51
overemphasized.
00:30:15.54\00:30:17.15
There's a quotation I
want to just put in here.
00:30:17.18\00:30:19.38
As Adventists, we know that
00:30:19.41\00:30:21.22
this is the culminating message.
00:30:21.25\00:30:23.92
I mean, you could
preach all kinds of messages,
00:30:23.99\00:30:25.95
but if you leave
out the last 15 minutes,
00:30:25.99\00:30:28.66
and I'm saying to pastors,
and leaders, and members,
00:30:28.69\00:30:30.83
and people that want to
witness and share the faith,
00:30:30.86\00:30:33.63
this message is the
last piece of the puzzle.
00:30:33.70\00:30:38.50
So if you leave
out the last piece,
00:30:38.53\00:30:40.77
the servant of the Lord
says, "The truth for this time,
00:30:40.84\00:30:43.91
the third angel's
message is to be proclaimed
00:30:43.94\00:30:47.28
with a loud voice,
meaning, increasing power
00:30:47.31\00:30:50.25
as we approach
the great final test."
00:30:50.28\00:30:52.61
Which says, my
pastor, my friend,
00:30:52.65\00:30:54.02
that if you call yourself,
00:30:54.05\00:30:55.75
start yourself a
full gospel church
00:30:55.78\00:30:57.89
and you're not preaching
this, you're not full gospel...
00:30:57.92\00:30:59.55
No.
00:30:59.59\00:31:00.96
Because this is the
cherry on the sundae, man,
00:31:00.99\00:31:03.93
this is the top of the...
00:31:03.96\00:31:05.46
The frosting on the cake.
00:31:05.49\00:31:06.83
If you're not
preaching this, it's incomplete.
00:31:06.90\00:31:08.40
It's incomplete.
You're not full gospel.
00:31:08.43\00:31:09.76
Completely incomplete. Yes.
00:31:09.80\00:31:11.13
That's an oxymoron, isn't
it? Completely incomplete.
00:31:11.17\00:31:14.04
Completely incomplete.
00:31:14.07\00:31:15.40
You know, what we
call organized confusion.
00:31:15.44\00:31:17.97
And so what's happening here
00:31:18.01\00:31:19.34
is there are lots of
Christian churches...
00:31:19.37\00:31:21.28
And the beautiful
thing about this message,
00:31:21.31\00:31:23.14
it culminates in the
swelling, it gets to the point
00:31:23.18\00:31:26.55
where it lightens
the earth with His glory.
00:31:26.58\00:31:28.62
Yeah. Revelation 18.
00:31:28.65\00:31:30.19
And the call in
Revelation 18 is a culmination,
00:31:30.22\00:31:33.05
it's the swelling of
the three angel's messages,
00:31:33.09\00:31:35.19
the third angel's
message, and the message swells,
00:31:35.22\00:31:38.19
it's like when you put...
00:31:38.23\00:31:39.73
Remember those
Chia Pets years ago?
00:31:39.76\00:31:41.90
Oh, yes, yes.
00:31:41.93\00:31:43.26
You get these little seeds
00:31:43.30\00:31:44.63
and you pour little water on it,
00:31:44.67\00:31:46.23
and all of a sudden,
00:31:46.27\00:31:47.64
it starts growing and expanding,
00:31:47.67\00:31:49.00
looks like foam and I went
00:31:49.04\00:31:51.37
to somebody's desk here at 3ABN,
00:31:51.41\00:31:52.84
I said, "What is that?"
00:31:52.87\00:31:54.21
I thought it was
flaxseeds. He said, "No.
00:31:54.28\00:31:55.61
Those are the chia
seeds" I said, "Chia seeds?
00:31:55.64\00:31:57.91
What do you do with
that?" He said, "Add water..."
00:31:57.95\00:31:59.65
And these particular
chia seeds had a flavor,
00:31:59.68\00:32:01.82
it's like grape
and strawberry...
00:32:01.85\00:32:03.18
Oh, wow.
00:32:03.22\00:32:04.55
And he said, they
chew it like a marshmallow
00:32:04.59\00:32:06.25
and he said he uses that
00:32:06.29\00:32:07.66
for like when he gets
an appetite during the day.
00:32:07.69\00:32:09.22
Uh-huh.
00:32:09.26\00:32:10.63
The gospel message is to be,
00:32:10.66\00:32:12.96
when you pour the
grace of Jesus into it,
00:32:12.99\00:32:16.06
it expands to the entire world,
00:32:16.10\00:32:18.43
and so you cannot leave it out.
00:32:18.47\00:32:20.44
And so to
highlight the need for this
00:32:20.47\00:32:23.34
to get into every
hand, every community
00:32:23.41\00:32:25.04
because your neighbor,
00:32:25.07\00:32:26.41
whether he or
she knows it or not,
00:32:26.44\00:32:27.81
whether the
family knows it or not,
00:32:27.84\00:32:29.18
whether the pilot or the banker
00:32:29.21\00:32:30.58
or the lawyer or
the school teacher
00:32:30.65\00:32:32.05
or the student know it or not,
00:32:32.08\00:32:34.48
they're going to
be affected by it.
00:32:34.52\00:32:35.88
So does it make sense...
00:32:35.92\00:32:38.15
We say, "What you
don't know can't hurt you."
00:32:38.19\00:32:40.46
That's the biggest
lie I've ever heard.
00:32:40.49\00:32:41.82
Very true.
00:32:41.86\00:32:43.19
What you don't know
will kill you, you know.
00:32:43.22\00:32:44.56
That's right.
00:32:44.59\00:32:45.93
The biggest lie I've ever heard
00:32:45.96\00:32:47.30
was what you don't
know won't hurt you.
00:32:47.33\00:32:48.86
We know that's not true
because what you don't know
00:32:48.90\00:32:51.73
is the very thing
that you need to know.
00:32:51.77\00:32:53.27
Precisely.
00:32:53.34\00:32:54.67
And so I deal with that,
00:32:54.70\00:32:56.04
and I go in a little
more in depth to those
00:32:56.07\00:32:57.74
who understand how the Day
of Atonement services work.
00:32:57.77\00:33:01.98
And so for somebody to
say, "Well, how do you know
00:33:02.01\00:33:04.05
we're living in the
hour of the judgment of God?"
00:33:04.08\00:33:05.85
I deal with
that, also, leading us
00:33:05.88\00:33:08.55
through the Old Testament
00:33:08.58\00:33:09.92
and the New Testament
to let you know that, yes,
00:33:09.95\00:33:11.82
we are living in the
time of God's judgment.
00:33:11.85\00:33:15.16
And we talk about
the heavenly sanctuary,
00:33:15.19\00:33:16.96
we talk about Christ
00:33:17.03\00:33:18.36
as our
substitutionary sacrifice.
00:33:18.39\00:33:20.33
We talk about worshiping
who made heaven and earth,
00:33:20.40\00:33:22.30
and then we go over to
the second angel's message.
00:33:22.33\00:33:26.27
Let's bring up
the slide of that.
00:33:26.30\00:33:27.64
Revelation 14:8, and here it is,
00:33:27.67\00:33:30.21
the second message.
00:33:30.24\00:33:31.57
That's the second message.
00:33:43.99\00:33:45.32
Let's deal with
that for a moment.
00:33:45.35\00:33:46.69
Now the word Babylon
comes from the root word Babel.
00:33:46.76\00:33:50.93
We like to say Babylon,
00:33:50.96\00:33:52.53
but it's actually
babble, babble, babble.
00:33:52.56\00:33:55.73
We don't say
Babylon, when we say Babel,
00:33:55.76\00:33:59.10
it's not the Tower of
Babel, it's the Tower of Babble
00:33:59.13\00:34:01.40
because on the
other side of the flood,
00:34:01.44\00:34:04.64
the post diluvian
generation, they are those...
00:34:04.67\00:34:08.74
After they began to spread,
after they began to multiply,
00:34:08.78\00:34:12.41
because only three
sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth,
00:34:12.45\00:34:14.98
they began to multiply,
00:34:15.02\00:34:16.35
and for some
reason, unbelief set in,
00:34:16.38\00:34:19.22
and they decided,
00:34:19.25\00:34:20.59
"Well, this flood really
did a damage to our world,
00:34:20.66\00:34:23.26
wiped out everything here."
00:34:23.29\00:34:24.76
And so they said, "Just
in case it happens again,
00:34:24.79\00:34:27.90
let's build ourselves a tower."
00:34:27.93\00:34:29.96
And when you read that
in the Book of Genesis,
00:34:30.00\00:34:31.80
it says, "Let us
build ourselves a city.
00:34:31.83\00:34:34.60
Let us make a
name for ourselves."
00:34:34.64\00:34:36.10
Ourselves, yes, yes.
00:34:36.14\00:34:37.51
"We're going to build
our own method of salvation.
00:34:37.54\00:34:39.34
We're going to give
it our own identity.
00:34:39.37\00:34:42.14
We don't want to be
identified by their God."
00:34:42.18\00:34:44.38
And so when the Lord saw
this project was going forward
00:34:44.41\00:34:47.12
because they all
spoke one language,
00:34:47.15\00:34:48.72
this is amazing component,
00:34:48.75\00:34:50.32
there was a one
language world at that time.
00:34:50.39\00:34:53.05
They only spoke one language,
so one of the first things
00:34:53.09\00:34:55.69
the Lord did at
the Tower of Babble
00:34:55.72\00:34:58.39
was He confused the languages.
00:34:58.43\00:35:00.20
Yes, yes.
00:35:00.23\00:35:01.56
We talk about that in
the booklet, that today,
00:35:01.60\00:35:03.40
there is a sign of
Babylon in churches today,
00:35:03.47\00:35:06.84
the confusion of tongues.
00:35:06.87\00:35:08.67
We deal with the
topic of tongues briefly.
00:35:08.70\00:35:11.34
That's one of
the signs of Babylon,
00:35:11.37\00:35:13.48
they were babbling on but
nobody understood anything.
00:35:13.51\00:35:16.61
And those who
babbled this language
00:35:16.64\00:35:18.28
and the others that
babble that language,
00:35:18.31\00:35:19.88
they coalesced
in their own groups
00:35:19.91\00:35:21.32
and they began to move
00:35:21.35\00:35:22.68
and proliferate
throughout the earth.
00:35:22.72\00:35:24.09
So Babylon...
00:35:24.12\00:35:25.45
One of the first
signs of Babylon today
00:35:25.49\00:35:27.66
is the confusion of languages.
00:35:27.69\00:35:29.69
And there are many
Christian churches that say,
00:35:29.72\00:35:31.33
"You got to speak in
tongues to be saved."
00:35:31.36\00:35:32.69
No.
00:35:32.73\00:35:34.10
That's a gift that
the Lord gives only
00:35:34.13\00:35:35.56
as He sees needed...
00:35:35.60\00:35:36.97
Yeah It's not a
confusing language,
00:35:37.00\00:35:38.47
but simply, a
method of communicating
00:35:38.50\00:35:40.24
the gospel to the world.
00:35:40.27\00:35:41.60
For a specific
purpose. Very much so.
00:35:41.64\00:35:42.97
Now Babylon is
fallen, it's fallen.
00:35:43.00\00:35:45.34
Babylon now came into
fruition as a larger nation
00:35:45.37\00:35:49.18
under the reign
of Nebuchadnezzar.
00:35:49.21\00:35:51.38
How amazing that Nebuchadnezzar,
00:35:51.41\00:35:53.05
this king of Babylon,
00:35:53.08\00:35:54.42
the greatest nation
that lived in the world,
00:35:54.45\00:35:57.29
the greatest dynasty,
00:35:57.32\00:35:58.79
he was symbolized
by the gold of Daniel 2
00:35:58.82\00:36:01.39
and the lion of Daniel 7,
the golden image of Daniel...
00:36:01.42\00:36:04.83
The golden portion
of the image of Daniel 2
00:36:04.86\00:36:07.20
and the lion of Daniel 7,
00:36:07.23\00:36:08.93
when you combine
those two together,
00:36:08.96\00:36:11.03
you got the most valuable metal,
00:36:11.07\00:36:12.83
it was the
wealthiest of nations,
00:36:12.87\00:36:15.47
then you have the
most powerful beast,
00:36:15.50\00:36:17.04
it was the
strongest of nations...
00:36:17.11\00:36:18.77
But if you look
at the graduation,
00:36:18.81\00:36:20.48
it didn't
graduate, it depreciated
00:36:20.51\00:36:22.98
because the metals
went from gold to silver
00:36:23.01\00:36:24.81
to bronze to iron,
then iron and clay.
00:36:24.85\00:36:26.85
They got stronger but cheaper.
00:36:26.92\00:36:28.65
Exactly, got
stronger but cheaper.
00:36:28.68\00:36:30.12
The nation...
00:36:30.19\00:36:31.52
'Cause gold is the
softest of the metals...
00:36:31.55\00:36:33.02
Silver is a little
harder but cheaper,
00:36:33.05\00:36:34.86
bronze is cheaper
00:36:34.89\00:36:36.22
but a little tougher
still, and then iron,
00:36:36.26\00:36:38.06
the legs of iron and
the feet of iron and clay.
00:36:38.09\00:36:40.33
Iron is very hard...
00:36:40.40\00:36:41.93
But you can buy iron
for the next to nothing.
00:36:41.96\00:36:44.17
Nobody buys iron watches. No.
00:36:44.20\00:36:46.94
You know, if
anybody gives me an iron,
00:36:46.97\00:36:49.67
you know, iron watch,
00:36:49.70\00:36:51.51
I mean, you can't
walk past anything
00:36:51.54\00:36:53.14
with an iron watch.
00:36:53.17\00:36:54.54
The point of that is
Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar,
00:36:54.58\00:36:58.65
when Nebuchadnezzar
saw that his kingdom
00:36:58.68\00:37:00.55
was the most
valuable in his own eyesight.
00:37:00.62\00:37:03.49
He also was told by Daniel
that it will not last forever.
00:37:03.52\00:37:06.42
Precisely. Yeah.
00:37:06.45\00:37:07.79
But he said
I've got other plans.
00:37:07.82\00:37:09.16
So he built an image of all gold
00:37:09.19\00:37:13.13
and he calls for
all nations to worship
00:37:13.16\00:37:16.67
This is important
because in the last days,
00:37:16.70\00:37:19.27
it's not going to
be literal Babylon
00:37:19.30\00:37:20.67
but spiritual Babylon...
00:37:20.74\00:37:22.40
And the whole focus of it is
00:37:22.44\00:37:24.21
the leader of spiritual
Babylon is going to call
00:37:24.24\00:37:26.88
for the nations of the
world to coalesce together.
00:37:26.91\00:37:29.91
I have to make a
very important point here.
00:37:29.94\00:37:31.81
The nations of the
world are not only religious
00:37:31.85\00:37:33.85
but economic, social,
materialistic, atheistic,
00:37:33.92\00:37:38.35
so the message of
Babylon in the last days
00:37:38.39\00:37:41.19
is a coalition of
everything that is antichrist.
00:37:41.22\00:37:44.46
Yes, yes.
00:37:44.49\00:37:46.46
Social, mental,
spiritual, physical,
00:37:46.49\00:37:49.83
doesn't have to be religious
00:37:49.86\00:37:51.20
because religion was
not the only focus point
00:37:51.23\00:37:53.37
in the plain of
Dura that day in Babylon,
00:37:53.44\00:37:55.47
you know that.
00:37:55.50\00:37:56.84
Whatever the heathen nation was,
00:37:56.91\00:37:58.44
they were called together
00:37:58.47\00:37:59.81
under the power
of Nebuchadnezzar
00:37:59.84\00:38:01.18
and they said,
"Whenever you hear
00:38:01.21\00:38:02.54
the sound of the instruments..."
00:38:02.58\00:38:04.08
He used music to
bring about false worship.
00:38:04.15\00:38:06.55
Be careful today when
you're involved in music
00:38:06.58\00:38:08.72
that leads you to false worship.
00:38:08.75\00:38:10.62
But how amazing it
was in that Babylon
00:38:10.69\00:38:13.36
of Nebuchadnezzar's day,
00:38:13.39\00:38:14.72
there were three Hebrews
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
00:38:14.76\00:38:18.89
We all call them
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
00:38:18.93\00:38:20.80
their Babylonian names,
but I like the Hebrew names,
00:38:20.83\00:38:23.47
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azaria...
00:38:23.50\00:38:24.83
So do I. I do, yeah.
00:38:24.87\00:38:26.20
Because those who they are,
not who they were tagged to be.
00:38:26.23\00:38:29.07
First thing, they
got from mama say,
00:38:29.10\00:38:30.44
that's their real names.
00:38:30.51\00:38:31.84
Their stand they
took on that day of tests
00:38:31.87\00:38:33.21
was because of who they were...
00:38:33.24\00:38:34.74
Precisely.
00:38:34.78\00:38:36.11
Where they came from, not
who they were tagged to be.
00:38:36.14\00:38:38.01
They didn't become Babylonian,
00:38:38.05\00:38:39.65
they remained Hebrew
in a Babylonian society.
00:38:39.68\00:38:42.85
So here's the point,
00:38:42.88\00:38:44.22
we must remain
spiritual Hebrews.
00:38:44.29\00:38:47.36
We must remain Christians
in a Babylonian society.
00:38:47.39\00:38:50.53
Three Hebrew boys
standing firm at the time
00:38:50.56\00:38:53.90
when everybody was
being forced to worship,
00:38:53.93\00:38:56.23
and because they stood firm,
00:38:56.26\00:38:57.80
there were those in Babylon
that heard about the true God
00:38:57.83\00:39:03.27
when Nebuchadnezzar
tried to take their lives,
00:39:03.30\00:39:05.74
and he did not succeed.
00:39:05.77\00:39:07.21
There was a death decree
00:39:07.28\00:39:09.31
when these three men
were delivered from the fire,
00:39:09.34\00:39:11.95
through the fire,
then all of a sudden,
00:39:11.98\00:39:13.31
there's a proclamation
00:39:13.35\00:39:14.68
that these three
men had the true God.
00:39:14.72\00:39:17.95
Then the
knowledge of God was spread
00:39:17.99\00:39:19.65
throughout the whole earth.
00:39:19.69\00:39:21.02
So the same thing is
going to happen in the future.
00:39:21.06\00:39:22.99
Spiritual Babylon made
up of Catholicism, apostate,
00:39:23.02\00:39:28.83
Protestantism, Islam, Judaism,
00:39:28.86\00:39:31.73
secularism, Buddhism, atheism,
00:39:31.77\00:39:33.97
all these antichrist methods
00:39:34.04\00:39:36.54
in which you
see in all of those,
00:39:36.57\00:39:37.94
one, is a false representation
of Christ and all the others,
00:39:37.97\00:39:41.84
a rejection of Christ.
00:39:41.88\00:39:43.78
Christ is not the central
focal point of salvation.
00:39:43.85\00:39:46.92
He's mentioned in Judaism
and Islam, in Christianity,
00:39:46.95\00:39:51.12
in apostate Protestantism,
but for some reason,
00:39:51.15\00:39:53.56
He is not properly represented.
00:39:53.59\00:39:56.76
But when he says,
"Babylon is fallen, is fallen."
00:39:56.83\00:39:58.56
It's a s very significant point
00:39:58.59\00:40:00.20
because Babylon
is already fallen
00:40:00.23\00:40:01.90
in the eyes of God.
00:40:01.93\00:40:03.40
It's already a fallen
system, it's a nation of...
00:40:03.47\00:40:06.84
It's a system
that coalesces together
00:40:06.87\00:40:08.94
to bring the persecution
to the people of God,
00:40:08.97\00:40:11.81
and I talk about
that in the book,
00:40:11.84\00:40:13.71
I bring it out very carefully.
00:40:13.78\00:40:15.18
And when he says, "All
nations drink of the wine
00:40:15.21\00:40:17.05
of the wrath of
her fornication,"
00:40:17.08\00:40:18.58
Now fornication is talked about
00:40:18.61\00:40:20.82
in the sense of
an illicit affair.
00:40:20.85\00:40:23.15
Yes.
00:40:23.18\00:40:24.52
So this system of Babylon
00:40:24.55\00:40:26.19
has caused the
leaders of the world
00:40:26.22\00:40:29.09
to get drunk through her wine.
00:40:29.12\00:40:31.13
In other words, she's
feeding them something
00:40:31.16\00:40:32.73
that's inoculating them...
00:40:32.76\00:40:34.30
Sorry that's
not inoculating them
00:40:34.33\00:40:35.70
but inebriating them.
00:40:35.73\00:40:37.77
Well said. Yeah.
00:40:37.80\00:40:39.13
They're inebriate
00:40:39.17\00:40:40.54
because whatever she
has, they're drinking.
00:40:40.57\00:40:42.70
Whatever she is suggesting,
they are participating in
00:40:42.74\00:40:46.01
because the wine of the
wrath of her fornication.
00:40:46.04\00:40:48.31
Fornication is an
act of uncleanness.
00:40:48.34\00:40:51.15
Fornication is an
act of carnal nature,
00:40:51.18\00:40:54.72
but here in the
spiritual breakdown,
00:40:54.75\00:40:56.99
this woman of Revelation 17
00:40:57.02\00:40:59.29
is not faithful to the true God.
00:40:59.32\00:41:01.49
She is a woman
dressed in purple and scarlet,
00:41:01.52\00:41:04.59
she has a golden
cup, but as we know,
00:41:04.63\00:41:06.63
purple and red and gold
were all a part of this...
00:41:06.70\00:41:10.50
The colors in
the temple services,
00:41:10.57\00:41:12.50
but the most
significant color was blue...
00:41:12.53\00:41:14.07
Yes.
00:41:14.14\00:41:15.47
And she doesn't
have any blue on.
00:41:15.50\00:41:16.84
No blue.
00:41:16.87\00:41:18.21
Blue was the symbol of
the commandments of God.
00:41:18.24\00:41:19.57
So when you share,
when you read the book,
00:41:19.61\00:41:21.08
people will be
able to understand
00:41:21.11\00:41:24.08
that those systems that
omit the Ten Commandments
00:41:24.15\00:41:29.15
are in danger of being
seduced by the wine of Babylon.
00:41:29.18\00:41:33.05
Yes.
00:41:33.09\00:41:34.42
One of the things
that you've touched on,
00:41:34.46\00:41:35.89
the book brings
out, and certainly,
00:41:35.92\00:41:37.53
the message of the three angels,
00:41:37.56\00:41:39.29
tells us is that
you need to examine
00:41:39.33\00:41:43.37
at this point in time
your religious belief system...
00:41:43.40\00:41:46.20
Right.
00:41:46.23\00:41:47.57
Because the truth is that
00:41:47.64\00:41:48.97
every system is
not acceptable to God.
00:41:49.00\00:41:50.34
That's right.
00:41:50.37\00:41:51.71
"Babylon is fallen, is fallen"
00:41:51.74\00:41:53.07
says that some
people are doing things
00:41:53.11\00:41:55.14
that are not acceptable to God.
00:41:55.18\00:41:56.51
That's right.
00:41:56.54\00:41:57.88
That's not true worship,
00:41:57.91\00:41:59.25
they don't
worship to the true God,
00:41:59.28\00:42:00.62
they do not recognize who he is,
00:42:00.65\00:42:01.98
and as such, they are fallen.
00:42:02.02\00:42:04.62
So we need to examine
what we believe, what we teach,
00:42:04.65\00:42:08.59
what we practice
00:42:08.62\00:42:09.96
because one of the things
that the message is telling us
00:42:10.03\00:42:11.93
is that everything is not equal
00:42:11.96\00:42:13.60
and everything is
not acceptable to God,
00:42:13.63\00:42:15.06
and you bring
that out in the book.
00:42:15.10\00:42:16.43
And I bring that
out clearly. Yes.
00:42:16.46\00:42:17.83
But the one
beautiful highlight...
00:42:17.87\00:42:19.70
See, if there's anything bright
about the message to Babylon
00:42:19.73\00:42:23.24
or about Babylon,
it's in Revelation 18:4.
00:42:23.27\00:42:26.37
And I want to make this point.
00:42:26.41\00:42:27.74
We are Seventh-day
Adventist Christians,
00:42:27.78\00:42:29.38
but one thing we firmly teach
00:42:29.41\00:42:31.41
is that God has
Christian believers
00:42:31.45\00:42:33.55
in all walks of life.
00:42:33.62\00:42:34.95
Yes, very true.
00:42:34.98\00:42:36.32
Some of them are not
even members of a church,
00:42:36.35\00:42:38.25
but they believe in
Christ in an ethereal sense,
00:42:38.29\00:42:40.39
they call His name
when trouble comes,
00:42:40.46\00:42:42.49
but those who may be in
other communities of faith,
00:42:42.52\00:42:44.89
whatever denomination may
be, He doesn't leave them there,
00:42:44.93\00:42:47.93
and this is a very important
point because people think,
00:42:47.96\00:42:50.27
"Well, I could remain where I am
00:42:50.30\00:42:51.67
and I'll be saved anyhow."
00:42:51.70\00:42:53.13
When the test comes, and
this is a very key point,
00:42:53.17\00:42:55.84
if you die and you're a
member of another church,
00:42:55.87\00:42:58.17
we're not saying you're lost.
00:42:58.21\00:42:59.54
That's never the
message we preach.
00:42:59.57\00:43:01.18
Wherever you meet
Jesus and what you live by,
00:43:01.21\00:43:03.55
if you know and
you're faithful to that,
00:43:03.58\00:43:06.48
then the Lord will honor that.
00:43:06.51\00:43:07.85
Well said. But the Lord...
00:43:07.88\00:43:09.55
As you come down to the
test coming to the world,
00:43:09.58\00:43:12.05
and the same thing
in the days of Babylon,
00:43:12.09\00:43:14.19
when the test came
00:43:14.26\00:43:15.59
and the those Hebrews stood
firmly in the hour of test.
00:43:15.62\00:43:18.56
The test hasn't yet
come but it's on the way.
00:43:18.59\00:43:20.40
Yes.
00:43:20.43\00:43:21.76
And this system
led by the Vatican,
00:43:21.80\00:43:23.37
led by Catholicism
00:43:23.40\00:43:25.10
is going to bring the
test to the whole world,
00:43:25.13\00:43:26.97
and there's a coalition
coming together right now.
00:43:27.04\00:43:29.07
Catholicism and Protestantism
00:43:29.10\00:43:31.81
are beginning to
coalesce together since 1994,
00:43:31.84\00:43:34.61
the Catholic
Protestant doctrine,
00:43:34.64\00:43:36.41
a document they pull together.
00:43:36.44\00:43:38.71
And so we find
that there is such favor
00:43:38.75\00:43:40.98
with Catholicism
00:43:41.02\00:43:42.35
when in fact,
that's going to lead us
00:43:42.38\00:43:43.72
to the next portion of the book.
00:43:43.79\00:43:45.35
But here's the bright
side of the message of Babylon.
00:43:45.39\00:43:47.69
Revelation 18:4.
00:43:47.72\00:43:49.72
"And I heard another
voice from heaven saying,
00:43:49.76\00:43:51.96
'Come out of her, my people.'"
00:43:51.99\00:43:53.40
Yes.
00:43:53.43\00:43:54.76
So God's people in
every walk of life.
00:43:54.80\00:43:56.87
John 10:16, "Other sheep I
have that are not of this fold."
00:43:56.90\00:44:00.94
What fold? Revelation 12:17.
00:44:00.97\00:44:02.74
Yes.
00:44:02.77\00:44:04.11
"The dragon is
angry with the woman
00:44:04.14\00:44:06.07
who keeps the
commandments of God."
00:44:06.11\00:44:07.61
That's the fold.
00:44:07.64\00:44:08.98
If your church teaches
that the commandments of God
00:44:09.01\00:44:10.65
are done away with,
nailed to the cross,
00:44:10.68\00:44:12.08
just for the Jews,
you're in the wrong fold
00:44:12.11\00:44:15.38
because the last
book of the Bible,
00:44:15.42\00:44:17.69
the last chapter of
the book of the Bible,
00:44:17.72\00:44:20.26
the last chapter of
the last book in the Bible,
00:44:20.29\00:44:22.86
highlights those who
keep the commandments of God.
00:44:24.89\00:44:29.80
They have a right
to the tree of life
00:44:29.83\00:44:32.30
because they keep
the commandments of God.
00:44:32.33\00:44:34.14
So the commandments of
God have not been obliterated,
00:44:34.17\00:44:35.87
has not been
deleted, has not been altered,
00:44:35.90\00:44:37.31
has not been...
00:44:37.34\00:44:38.67
It's not ten suggestions,
it's Ten Commandments.
00:44:38.71\00:44:40.28
And Jesus says,
00:44:40.31\00:44:41.64
"If you love Me,
keep My commandments."
00:44:41.68\00:44:43.04
That's the culmination of it.
00:44:43.08\00:44:44.45
So I deal with that
in the second chapter,
00:44:44.48\00:44:46.51
but I must now go
down to the last chapter
00:44:46.55\00:44:48.62
because we don't
have a whole lot of time
00:44:48.65\00:44:50.62
and we are being pressed here
00:44:50.69\00:44:52.02
for the
significance of our time.
00:44:52.05\00:44:53.79
The last chapter...
00:44:53.86\00:44:55.19
And by the way as I transition,
00:44:55.22\00:44:56.96
I'm going to talk about
Revelation 12:17 in Babylon
00:44:57.03\00:45:00.53
because Satan is angry with you
00:45:00.60\00:45:02.96
if you desire is to
keep the commandments of God.
00:45:03.00\00:45:05.10
Amen. Amen.
00:45:05.13\00:45:06.47
Now one point I
forgot to bring out
00:45:06.50\00:45:07.84
in worship Him who
made heaven and earth,
00:45:07.87\00:45:10.94
how do you worship the Creator
if you ignore the Sabbath?
00:45:10.97\00:45:13.58
Yes.
00:45:13.61\00:45:14.94
You cannot ignore
the seventh day Sabbath
00:45:14.98\00:45:17.45
and identify yourself as
a worshipper of the Creator
00:45:17.48\00:45:20.45
because He made the
world in seven days.
00:45:20.52\00:45:22.35
That's what I was
trying to restrain myself
00:45:22.38\00:45:24.12
from interrupting you
because you're on such a roll,
00:45:24.19\00:45:26.42
but that the fact
that it always has been,
00:45:26.45\00:45:28.69
is now, will always be
about worship, about God.
00:45:28.72\00:45:30.23
Exactly.
00:45:30.26\00:45:31.59
And the messages
of the three angels
00:45:31.63\00:45:33.09
calls back to correct worship.
00:45:33.13\00:45:34.73
Who are you worshipping?
Why are you worshipping?
00:45:34.76\00:45:36.70
How are you worshipping?
When are you worshiping?
00:45:36.77\00:45:38.93
All part of that
message. Thank you.
00:45:38.97\00:45:40.34
Who are you worshipping?
Why are you worshipping?
00:45:40.37\00:45:41.84
How are you
worshipping? And when?
00:45:41.87\00:45:43.20
And when.
00:45:43.24\00:45:44.57
And by the way,
let me make the point
00:45:44.61\00:45:45.94
because some
people will say this...
00:45:45.97\00:45:47.31
Some people say we
should worship God every day.
00:45:47.38\00:45:48.91
I totally agree,
00:45:48.94\00:45:50.45
but the Lord didn't
bless every day as a holy day.
00:45:50.48\00:45:52.95
Well said, Pastor.
00:45:52.98\00:45:54.32
So if you ignore the day He
blessed and choose your own,
00:45:54.35\00:45:56.08
well, you're not
worshiping the true God...
00:45:56.12\00:45:57.49
Precisely.
00:45:57.52\00:45:58.85
Because Ezekiel 20:20 says,
00:45:58.89\00:46:00.96
you know, "Hallow My Sabbaths,
00:46:00.99\00:46:03.76
it is a sign between Me and you,
00:46:03.83\00:46:05.56
that you may know
that I am the Lord
00:46:05.59\00:46:06.93
who sanctifies you."
00:46:07.00\00:46:08.33
Exodus 31:13, also.
00:46:08.36\00:46:09.70
Exactly, Exodus 31:13.
00:46:09.73\00:46:11.23
So you cannot ignore the
day, the only day He blessed,
00:46:11.27\00:46:14.44
and say you
recognize in the true God.
00:46:14.47\00:46:15.80
Precisely.
00:46:15.84\00:46:17.21
He is saying that's
not true. Well said.
00:46:17.24\00:46:18.67
The seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord, your God,
00:46:18.71\00:46:21.28
it's not what day you
pick but who is your God,
00:46:21.31\00:46:23.14
that's the quick issue.
00:46:23.18\00:46:24.51
Finally, the mark of the beast.
00:46:24.55\00:46:26.18
The most... The warning now.
00:46:26.21\00:46:28.58
You have the call, you
have the identification,
00:46:28.62\00:46:31.55
then you have the
warning, the mark of the beast.
00:46:31.59\00:46:33.49
Let's look at the last
slide. Revelation 14:9-12.
00:46:33.56\00:46:38.13
As the Lord liveth,
and as thy soul liveth,
00:47:14.60\00:47:16.20
we could take a
program just on that.
00:47:16.23\00:47:17.73
Just on that. Just on that.
00:47:17.77\00:47:19.10
Because this smoke
00:47:19.13\00:47:20.47
that ascends up
forever and ever,
00:47:20.54\00:47:21.87
they have no
rest forever and ever.
00:47:21.90\00:47:23.24
It's not suggesting
00:47:23.27\00:47:24.61
that they are going to
be burning forever and ever.
00:47:24.64\00:47:25.97
Precisely.
00:47:26.01\00:47:27.34
You have to have eternal
life to burn forever and ever,
00:47:27.38\00:47:29.24
and the wicked
don't have eternal life,
00:47:29.28\00:47:31.28
but the conflagration
that John was shown
00:47:31.31\00:47:34.02
is the entire world on fire
00:47:34.05\00:47:36.18
and all connected with
sin is going up in smoke.
00:47:36.22\00:47:39.02
Yes. Yes.
00:47:39.05\00:47:40.39
But only eternal life
is given to the righteous.
00:47:40.46\00:47:41.79
But quickly now, it identifies
the third angel's message,
00:47:41.82\00:47:45.63
and now let me make
a very important point.
00:47:45.66\00:47:48.40
When you look at the
messages of Revelation,
00:47:48.43\00:47:50.27
Daniel looks forward,
00:47:50.30\00:47:52.03
Babylon,
Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome...
00:47:52.07\00:47:54.27
Mm-hmm.
00:47:54.30\00:47:55.64
Babylon,
Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.
00:47:55.67\00:47:57.91
Yes, all four.
00:47:57.94\00:47:59.27
John looks back, Rome, Greece,
Medo-Persia, and Babylon.
00:47:59.31\00:48:05.25
But John when he's writing
about the mark of the beast,
00:48:05.28\00:48:08.58
he's writing as
a prisoner of Rome.
00:48:08.62\00:48:10.39
Yes.
00:48:10.42\00:48:11.75
He's in the Roman system,
he's under the Roman rulership,
00:48:11.79\00:48:16.36
he's in bondage
under the Roman rulership.
00:48:16.39\00:48:19.13
So he's
identifying the beast system
00:48:19.16\00:48:21.56
that he's under bondage by.
00:48:21.60\00:48:23.37
Yes, yes, yes.
00:48:23.40\00:48:24.73
And when you look at...
00:48:24.77\00:48:26.10
The Bible says it in Daniel 7,
00:48:26.13\00:48:28.10
speaking about the fourth beast,
00:48:28.14\00:48:29.47
"The fourth beast
00:48:29.50\00:48:30.84
shall be the fourth
kingdom on the earth.
00:48:30.91\00:48:32.81
He shall be diverse
from all the others,
00:48:32.84\00:48:35.14
he shall trample the earth
down and break it in pieces."
00:48:35.18\00:48:39.28
When you look at history,
there's no other nation,
00:48:39.31\00:48:41.55
there's no other system
00:48:41.58\00:48:42.92
that identifies
as that fourth nation
00:48:42.95\00:48:45.22
other than Rome.
00:48:45.25\00:48:46.59
Yes.
00:48:46.62\00:48:47.96
The power of Rome,
the system of Rome,
00:48:47.99\00:48:49.32
today known as
Roman Catholicism.
00:48:49.36\00:48:51.96
And the popes took
over the power of the church
00:48:51.99\00:48:54.50
during the Dark Ages,
00:48:54.53\00:48:56.67
eradicating everyone
that stood in his way.
00:48:56.70\00:48:59.13
And today, you can say this...
00:48:59.17\00:49:00.57
Carefully, think about it.
00:49:00.64\00:49:01.97
You can say, there's no
singular man on the planet
00:49:02.00\00:49:05.84
that has more
religious and political identity
00:49:05.87\00:49:08.71
than the pontiff himself...
00:49:08.74\00:49:10.35
The head of the
Church of Rome...
00:49:10.38\00:49:11.71
Very true.
00:49:11.75\00:49:13.08
And all Protestant
leaders, all governments,
00:49:13.11\00:49:14.92
all nations honor
Him, the Bible says.
00:49:14.95\00:49:17.49
But here's something
00:49:17.52\00:49:18.85
I want to make very, very clear.
00:49:18.89\00:49:20.22
And I told you, don't
get this book mixed up,
00:49:20.26\00:49:22.56
it's thin but it's concentrated.
00:49:22.59\00:49:26.16
The Bible identifies
the seat of his power
00:49:26.19\00:49:28.63
and the dragon
gave him his power,
00:49:28.66\00:49:30.47
his seat, and
his great authority.
00:49:30.50\00:49:32.07
Who is the
dragon? Revelation 12:9.
00:49:32.10\00:49:33.84
That's Satan. That's Satan.
00:49:33.87\00:49:35.20
The devil. Yes, sir.
00:49:35.24\00:49:36.57
So Satan created a
system that's anti to Christ,
00:49:36.60\00:49:38.94
meaning they
have an earthly priest
00:49:38.97\00:49:40.98
when Christ is
our heavenly priest.
00:49:41.01\00:49:42.34
Yes.
00:49:42.38\00:49:43.75
You ask
forgiveness of an earthly man
00:49:43.78\00:49:45.11
when Christ is the only
one that can forgive sins.
00:49:45.15\00:49:47.12
Yes.
00:49:47.15\00:49:48.48
They have also an
additional redeemer Mary,
00:49:48.52\00:49:51.62
"Holy Mary Mother of
God, pray for sinners,
00:49:51.65\00:49:53.25
now and at the
hour of their death."
00:49:53.29\00:49:54.62
How can somebody who's dead
help you forgive your sins...
00:49:54.66\00:49:58.89
Right. And redeem people?
00:49:58.93\00:50:00.40
So this substitutionary
system has been put in place,
00:50:00.43\00:50:04.40
and I'm telling
you I'm not tiptoeing
00:50:04.43\00:50:05.77
through the tulips here
00:50:05.80\00:50:07.47
because my
family is 99% Catholic
00:50:07.54\00:50:10.41
and I love my family,
00:50:10.44\00:50:11.84
and there are some
sincere Christians in my family
00:50:11.87\00:50:14.08
that found
Christ in Catholicism,
00:50:14.11\00:50:16.14
but the system
itself is corrupt,
00:50:16.18\00:50:18.81
and the Lord is calling people
out of every corrupt system.
00:50:18.85\00:50:21.48
So I talk about that
church, the mother church.
00:50:21.52\00:50:23.18
Yes.
00:50:23.22\00:50:24.55
But she is not by
ourselves, she has daughters.
00:50:24.59\00:50:26.59
And what's the daughter?
00:50:26.62\00:50:27.96
The daughter is those
that practice the things
00:50:27.99\00:50:29.32
that they adopt.
00:50:29.36\00:50:30.73
Yes.
00:50:30.76\00:50:32.09
When you follow the day
00:50:32.13\00:50:33.46
that Rome
established and blessed,
00:50:33.50\00:50:34.83
you're a daughter.
00:50:34.86\00:50:36.20
When you follow them as
the authority of the church,
00:50:36.23\00:50:37.57
you are a daughter.
00:50:37.60\00:50:38.93
And it's in
clear stark language,
00:50:38.97\00:50:41.50
so you can see now
this booklet is by no means
00:50:41.54\00:50:44.81
a tiptoe through the tulips.
00:50:44.84\00:50:46.88
But bring up the
last slide for me
00:50:46.91\00:50:48.24
because here is the call.
00:50:48.28\00:50:49.61
Here's the
call. The culmination.
00:50:49.64\00:50:52.38
Amen.
00:50:56.58\00:50:57.92
So, Pastor CA,
00:50:59.32\00:51:00.66
and those of you watching
and listening to the program,
00:51:00.69\00:51:02.02
we want to avoid
the mark of the beast,
00:51:02.06\00:51:03.76
and Sunday is the
mark of Rome's authority.
00:51:03.83\00:51:05.99
It is.
00:51:06.03\00:51:07.40
When Sunday
becomes a forced issue
00:51:07.43\00:51:09.03
that people must
honor it and worship it
00:51:09.06\00:51:11.47
as the day that
all people in society,
00:51:11.50\00:51:13.77
both religious and
political must honor,
00:51:13.84\00:51:16.60
that's being pushed already.
00:51:16.64\00:51:18.07
I have an entire
program on Sunday worship
00:51:18.11\00:51:20.28
that's being pushed already.
00:51:20.31\00:51:21.68
And pray for me to
finish the book on Sunday mass.
00:51:21.71\00:51:23.85
Yes, yes.
00:51:23.88\00:51:25.25
I know you've been
struggling with that
00:51:25.28\00:51:26.61
for a few years now...
00:51:26.65\00:51:27.98
About four years. Yes, yes.
00:51:28.02\00:51:29.35
And it's a book that
is not a tiptoe either.
00:51:29.38\00:51:31.19
But here's the point,
the three angels' messages
00:51:31.22\00:51:33.66
is a book that everyone
should have in their possession,
00:51:33.69\00:51:36.12
in summary.
00:51:36.16\00:51:37.53
If you really love your neighbor
00:51:37.56\00:51:39.66
and love your family
00:51:39.69\00:51:41.03
and those
people that you've met,
00:51:41.06\00:51:42.40
you need to get
this into their hands
00:51:42.43\00:51:43.77
because this
will open their eyes
00:51:43.80\00:51:45.60
to the final issues
confronting planet earth.
00:51:45.63\00:51:48.44
Pastor, thank you so very much.
00:51:48.47\00:51:49.80
Before we go to our
news break and come back
00:51:49.84\00:51:51.51
and kind of put a
little bow on this
00:51:51.54\00:51:52.97
so I want you to
give us a closing thought.
00:51:53.01\00:51:54.64
Really worthwhile book to get.
00:51:54.68\00:51:57.45
One of the things the
three angels' messages does,
00:51:57.48\00:51:59.45
it gives us a
position, it's like a GPS,
00:51:59.48\00:52:02.25
it tells us where
we are in history.
00:52:02.28\00:52:03.62
That's right.
00:52:03.69\00:52:05.02
We can locate ourselves,
vis-a-vis the second coming
00:52:05.05\00:52:06.39
of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
00:52:06.42\00:52:07.89
And Pastor touched on something,
00:52:07.92\00:52:09.26
in 1551,
Archbishop Reggio said...
00:52:09.29\00:52:11.53
That's right.
00:52:11.56\00:52:12.89
The Protestant inconsistency
is, you say Sola Scriptura,
00:52:12.93\00:52:15.73
but you're keeping a
day that's not Scriptura,
00:52:15.76\00:52:17.47
it's Catholic.
00:52:17.50\00:52:18.83
So whatever you call yourself,
00:52:18.87\00:52:20.20
you're still a fallen
brethren of the Catholic Church.
00:52:20.24\00:52:22.87
There's so much, We could
take another two, three hours
00:52:22.90\00:52:25.31
just talking
about the ramifications
00:52:25.34\00:52:27.21
of this particular book
and the three angels' messages.
00:52:27.28\00:52:30.15
We want to go to
our news break now,
00:52:30.18\00:52:31.51
then come back
and let the pastor
00:52:31.55\00:52:32.88
put a little bow on this
00:52:32.91\00:52:34.25
as we wrap up
our program together.
00:52:34.28\00:52:36.08
