I want to spend my life
00:00:01.96\00:00:07.84
Mending broken people
00:00:07.87\00:00:12.81
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.84\00:00:18.95
Removing pain
00:00:18.98\00:00:24.02
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.09\00:00:30.33
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.36\00:00:34.83
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.86\00:00:40.54
Mending broken people
00:00:40.57\00:00:46.07
I want to spend my life
00:00:46.11\00:00:51.51
Mending broken people
00:00:51.55\00:00:55.45
Hello, and welcome
from your 3ABN family.
00:01:10.37\00:01:13.47
My name is John Dinzey.
00:01:13.54\00:01:14.87
It's a good joy and
pleasure for me to be with you
00:01:14.90\00:01:17.14
and during this hour,
00:01:17.21\00:01:18.54
we are going to cover
a very important topic.
00:01:18.57\00:01:21.51
Actually, we're gonna be talking
00:01:21.54\00:01:23.21
about God's mercy and
the close of probation.
00:01:23.24\00:01:26.92
God's mercy and
the close of probation.
00:01:26.95\00:01:29.68
Today, we have
the blessing of...
00:01:29.72\00:01:32.62
We have Pastor Joe O'Brien
00:01:32.65\00:01:33.99
from the Pastoral
Ministry Department.
00:01:34.06\00:01:35.99
Tell us a little
bit about what happens
00:01:36.02\00:01:37.63
in the Pastoral Ministry
Department here at 3ABN?
00:01:37.66\00:01:40.93
Oh, boy,
00:01:40.96\00:01:42.93
well, we do preview
some programs to make sure
00:01:42.96\00:01:45.47
that they're
doctrinally correct.
00:01:45.50\00:01:48.10
We answer telephones
for prayer with folks,
00:01:48.14\00:01:50.51
but we also have
questions from around the world.
00:01:50.54\00:01:54.64
We have questions that are fun
00:01:54.68\00:01:57.38
because they're serious
and they are multi choice
00:01:57.45\00:02:01.65
and the answers
are in the Bible.
00:02:01.68\00:02:04.19
God has already
answered those questions
00:02:04.22\00:02:06.86
and so we dig
and find the answers,
00:02:06.89\00:02:09.22
and share those answers
with people and as we do it,
00:02:09.26\00:02:12.66
we have the blessing of
learning more ourselves.
00:02:12.69\00:02:15.56
Amen. Amen.
00:02:15.60\00:02:17.10
Well, next to you we
have a familiar face,
00:02:17.17\00:02:20.04
we have Pastor Kenny Shelton,
00:02:20.07\00:02:21.67
Director and Speaker of
Behold the Lamb Ministry.
00:02:21.70\00:02:25.21
Wonderful name for a ministry.
00:02:25.24\00:02:27.58
Tell us a little bit
about Behold the Lamb Ministry?
00:02:27.61\00:02:30.85
What does Behold
the Lamb Ministry do?
00:02:30.88\00:02:33.82
You know, Behold the
Lamb is, like you mentioned,
00:02:33.85\00:02:36.79
it's a good name
00:02:36.82\00:02:38.29
and I remember many years ago
00:02:38.32\00:02:40.16
as the Lord
impressed to start a ministry,
00:02:40.19\00:02:43.09
I remember telling the Lord...
00:02:43.12\00:02:45.29
talking to the Lord
about it and I said,
00:02:45.33\00:02:47.80
"You know, I can't
even think of a good name."
00:02:47.83\00:02:50.17
And it's like an
answer came back and He said,
00:02:50.20\00:02:51.70
"Kenny, what's wrong
with Behold the Lamb?"
00:02:51.73\00:02:54.04
I mean that's just
how quick it came back,
00:02:54.07\00:02:55.70
what's wrong
with Behold the Lamb,
00:02:55.74\00:02:57.11
at least in my mind and I
said right then and right there,
00:02:57.14\00:02:59.84
that's exactly
what we should be doing
00:02:59.87\00:03:01.74
is beholding the Lamb of God.
00:03:01.78\00:03:03.21
Amen.
00:03:03.24\00:03:04.58
So, you know, it's just
a ministry like many others
00:03:04.61\00:03:06.82
dedicated to getting the
gospel preached to the world,
00:03:06.85\00:03:09.75
warning the world of
soon coming of Jesus.
00:03:09.78\00:03:11.95
Amen.
00:03:11.99\00:03:13.36
You know, we do
a lot of CDs, DVDs
00:03:13.39\00:03:15.39
and send them all over the world
00:03:15.42\00:03:17.13
and we keep busy at
Behold the Lamb all the time
00:03:17.16\00:03:19.23
and doing new
programs and so on and so forth
00:03:19.26\00:03:22.13
and then certainly
working closely with 3ABN
00:03:22.16\00:03:24.17
has been a real delight,
00:03:24.20\00:03:25.80
a real pleasure
and so we keep busy,
00:03:25.83\00:03:28.67
and we're thankful
that we're keeping busy.
00:03:28.70\00:03:31.11
A man told me one
time, you know, rest,
00:03:31.14\00:03:33.48
he said, rest when you
get to heaven, stay busy now.
00:03:33.51\00:03:37.05
So I think that was
pretty good insight there.
00:03:37.08\00:03:39.38
Occupy till I come. Exactly.
00:03:39.41\00:03:41.25
Praise the Lord. Yes.
00:03:41.28\00:03:42.62
Praise the Lord.
00:03:42.65\00:03:43.99
Well, this is a
very important topic
00:03:44.02\00:03:45.35
and we are grateful
for every one of you
00:03:45.39\00:03:46.76
that is joining us,
00:03:46.79\00:03:48.12
whether you are
joining us on the internet,
00:03:48.16\00:03:49.79
whether you are joining
us through television, radio,
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.59
whatever means you are using,
00:03:51.63\00:03:53.06
we hope that you will
be blessed as you tune in
00:03:53.09\00:03:55.40
and we encourage
you to continue with us
00:03:55.43\00:03:57.10
during this hour
00:03:57.17\00:03:58.50
because this topic
could transform your life.
00:03:58.53\00:04:00.94
As a matter of fact,
this topic is so vital,
00:04:00.97\00:04:03.27
so important that
you will want to listen,
00:04:03.30\00:04:05.61
take notes because you may
want to share this information
00:04:05.64\00:04:08.54
with others,
00:04:08.58\00:04:09.91
and they will be also blessed
00:04:09.94\00:04:12.11
and ready to meet our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
00:04:12.15\00:04:14.62
So we encourage you to
stay by and study with us.
00:04:14.65\00:04:18.25
At this time, we're
gonna go to the Lord in prayer
00:04:18.29\00:04:20.39
because this is a
program that requires prayer
00:04:20.46\00:04:23.22
and we need the Lord's presence.
00:04:23.26\00:04:24.99
I'm gonna ask
the Lord to bless us
00:04:25.03\00:04:26.53
with the Holy
Spirit, also bless you.
00:04:26.56\00:04:28.86
So let us go to God's
throne of grace at this time.
00:04:28.90\00:04:32.07
Let's pray together.
00:04:32.10\00:04:34.44
Our loving Heavenly Father,
00:04:34.47\00:04:36.00
we are grateful to
You for Your kindness
00:04:36.04\00:04:38.44
and Your mercy.
00:04:38.47\00:04:40.11
Heavenly Father, as we discuss
this very important topic,
00:04:40.18\00:04:43.45
we pray that Your holy angels
will draw near to every person,
00:04:43.48\00:04:47.35
wherever they may be,
00:04:47.42\00:04:48.98
so that they will
have an understanding
00:04:49.02\00:04:51.25
that this is important,
00:04:51.29\00:04:52.82
this could impact their lives
00:04:52.85\00:04:54.96
and we ask you, Heavenly Father,
00:04:54.99\00:04:56.93
to bless us with the Holy Spirit
00:04:56.96\00:04:58.86
that we may speak
Your words, not our words.
00:04:58.89\00:05:02.33
We pray, Lord, that
lives will be transformed,
00:05:02.36\00:05:05.83
that people will
decide to be ready,
00:05:05.87\00:05:08.90
to meet our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:05:08.94\00:05:11.34
We pray, Heavenly
Father, for these blessings
00:05:11.37\00:05:14.64
in the name of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
00:05:14.68\00:05:18.15
Amen. Amen.
00:05:18.18\00:05:20.82
Well,
00:05:20.85\00:05:23.15
we are going to begin
00:05:23.18\00:05:26.29
with Isaiah
Chapter 56, no, Chapter 55,
00:05:26.32\00:05:30.53
verse 6 and 7, I
have it right here.
00:05:30.56\00:05:33.06
Isaiah 55:6-7.
00:05:33.09\00:05:36.13
Here we have
the following words,
00:05:36.16\00:05:38.23
"Seek the Lord
while He may be found,
00:05:38.27\00:05:42.57
call upon Him while He is near.
00:05:42.60\00:05:46.98
Let the wicked forsake his way,
00:05:47.01\00:05:49.01
and the
unrighteous man his thoughts,
00:05:49.04\00:05:51.38
let him return to the Lord,
00:05:51.41\00:05:53.45
and He will have mercy on him,
00:05:53.52\00:05:55.55
and to our God, for He
will abundantly pardon."
00:05:55.58\00:06:00.76
Praise the Lord. Amen.
00:06:00.79\00:06:02.79
Now, we may be
talking a little bit more
00:06:02.82\00:06:04.33
about these two verses later on
00:06:04.36\00:06:06.70
but right here in
verse 6, it tells us
00:06:06.73\00:06:09.40
that to seek the Lord
while He may be found.
00:06:09.43\00:06:12.37
This also says,
00:06:12.40\00:06:14.50
call upon Him while He is near.
00:06:14.54\00:06:16.40
These two phrases both imply
00:06:16.44\00:06:19.64
that there will be a time
00:06:19.67\00:06:21.21
when He will not be found
00:06:21.24\00:06:23.18
and He will not be near,
00:06:23.21\00:06:25.08
and I am sure that
00:06:25.11\00:06:27.02
you gentlemen have some things
00:06:27.05\00:06:28.42
you would like to
share concerning this
00:06:28.45\00:06:29.78
as we move on.
00:06:29.82\00:06:31.15
So we want to
help you understand
00:06:31.19\00:06:34.39
if you don't and if
you do understand it,
00:06:34.42\00:06:36.59
then this will be a
wakeup call, let's say.
00:06:36.62\00:06:39.16
So that you will be
prepared for the Lord's coming.
00:06:39.19\00:06:41.93
Amen.
00:06:41.96\00:06:43.30
And we're
talking about God's mercy
00:06:43.37\00:06:45.00
and the close of probation.
00:06:45.03\00:06:47.44
Can we begin by maybe defining
a little bit about probation?
00:06:47.47\00:06:51.44
What is your
understanding of probation?
00:06:51.47\00:06:53.81
You know, probationary time,
00:06:53.88\00:06:56.54
that just simply means
there's a time that God has,
00:06:56.58\00:06:59.95
He has it for nations,
He has it for individuals,
00:07:00.02\00:07:02.32
so you know,
00:07:02.35\00:07:03.69
we have seen it
throughout history of the world
00:07:03.72\00:07:05.35
from Babylon,
Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.
00:07:05.39\00:07:08.02
There comes a time
when probation closes
00:07:08.06\00:07:10.73
or time has run out.
00:07:10.76\00:07:12.66
God gives us then specific
time frame to come to Him,
00:07:12.69\00:07:17.67
and I think after
that certain time frame,
00:07:17.70\00:07:20.44
God is more than aware
00:07:20.47\00:07:22.57
that there will be no
changes for the better.
00:07:22.60\00:07:25.84
And many times and certainly
He would cross His presence
00:07:25.87\00:07:29.38
and then probation closes
00:07:29.41\00:07:30.75
and certainly
could close it at death,
00:07:30.78\00:07:33.31
you know, we
could live and we die.
00:07:33.35\00:07:35.05
And so, that's
probationary time,
00:07:35.08\00:07:37.09
it's so important
you mentioned here
00:07:37.12\00:07:38.92
because our eternal destiny
00:07:38.95\00:07:40.66
rides on how we spend
our probationary hours
00:07:40.69\00:07:45.03
in this world that we live in,
00:07:45.06\00:07:46.90
so it is vital.
00:07:46.93\00:07:48.26
And I think it's something that
we need to be talking about.
00:07:48.30\00:07:50.37
I am thankful for
the subject today.
00:07:50.40\00:07:51.73
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:07:51.77\00:07:53.10
Would you like to
add anything to that?
00:07:53.13\00:07:55.50
I like to keep
separated the carnal probation
00:07:55.54\00:07:58.37
and the spiritual probation.
00:07:58.41\00:08:00.68
And the fact is
that like Kenny says,
00:08:00.71\00:08:02.88
probation is multiple,
00:08:02.91\00:08:05.41
for example, we have
probation in our school systems,
00:08:05.45\00:08:10.19
we have probation
in our relationships
00:08:10.22\00:08:13.25
with each other, day by day.
00:08:13.29\00:08:16.39
But we also have
00:08:16.42\00:08:18.63
a probation spiritually
00:08:18.66\00:08:21.46
that God allows us something
00:08:21.50\00:08:24.37
and for a purpose,
00:08:24.40\00:08:25.73
and that purpose
00:08:25.77\00:08:27.14
is that we were
made in the image of God.
00:08:27.17\00:08:29.27
Yes.
00:08:29.30\00:08:30.64
That was holy and sinless.
00:08:30.71\00:08:32.24
How long that
lasted, I don't know.
00:08:32.27\00:08:34.41
But we fell,
00:08:34.44\00:08:36.18
and all have fallen short.
00:08:36.21\00:08:38.15
All have sinned and fallen short
00:08:38.18\00:08:39.55
of the glory of God.
00:08:39.58\00:08:40.92
And God is going to
eradicate sin at some point.
00:08:40.95\00:08:45.05
And between now and
then is one probation,
00:08:45.09\00:08:50.53
whereby we are being asked
00:08:50.56\00:08:53.03
to accept Jesus as payment
00:08:53.06\00:08:55.03
which sin is the
transgression of God's law
00:08:55.06\00:08:58.80
and the wages of sin is death,
00:08:58.83\00:09:00.47
and Jesus paid that death for us
00:09:00.54\00:09:03.07
so that we could be redeemed,
00:09:03.10\00:09:04.67
which means brought back,
00:09:04.71\00:09:06.57
brought back to what?
00:09:06.61\00:09:08.08
Brought back to the image of God
00:09:08.11\00:09:10.65
and people will tell us
well, you can't be like God.
00:09:10.68\00:09:14.58
Well, they need to
read the Bible again,
00:09:14.62\00:09:16.92
because we started out that way,
00:09:16.99\00:09:18.62
and we're being called home.
00:09:18.65\00:09:21.42
And so there's
this probationary period
00:09:21.46\00:09:23.53
for us to develop,
00:09:23.56\00:09:25.53
and to let the
Holy Spirit remold us.
00:09:25.56\00:09:28.90
Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:09:28.93\00:09:30.87
Perhaps some people
may be helped by following
00:09:30.90\00:09:33.27
you know,
00:09:33.34\00:09:34.87
when you start a job,
most employers will tell you,
00:09:34.90\00:09:38.67
well, during the first 90
days, you are on probation.
00:09:38.71\00:09:42.31
And this is a period
of time for us to evaluate
00:09:42.34\00:09:44.88
whether or not
you'll be a fit for us,
00:09:44.91\00:09:47.22
you'll work out to
be an employee here,
00:09:47.25\00:09:49.95
and the person has a time to...
00:09:49.98\00:09:52.62
The company and the person
00:09:52.65\00:09:53.99
have a time to
evaluate whether or not
00:09:54.06\00:09:55.52
they want to work together.
00:09:55.56\00:09:57.73
And so after the
90 days are over,
00:09:57.76\00:10:02.66
normally there's a
meeting and they say, well,
00:10:02.70\00:10:05.17
the 90 days are over,
00:10:05.20\00:10:06.53
and we're satisfied
with the way you're working
00:10:06.57\00:10:08.27
and you may remain on
permanent employment here
00:10:08.30\00:10:12.94
and that person then continues.
00:10:12.97\00:10:14.98
And likewise, you know,
00:10:15.01\00:10:16.34
we talked about
probationary time,
00:10:16.38\00:10:18.38
which tells us about
a time that this world,
00:10:18.41\00:10:22.32
that God has a time
00:10:22.35\00:10:24.35
that He is giving opportunity,
00:10:24.39\00:10:26.32
His mercy is
extended for a period of time,
00:10:26.35\00:10:29.22
and then the time will
come and that will end.
00:10:29.26\00:10:32.43
Is there somewhere in the
Bible that says, a date and time
00:10:32.46\00:10:36.77
when probation will close?
00:10:36.80\00:10:38.93
Haven't found one yet,
00:10:38.97\00:10:40.74
but I think I've seen
a lot of indicators...
00:10:40.77\00:10:42.67
Okay. Praise God.
00:10:42.70\00:10:44.04
And then, of course,
what God tells us in His Word
00:10:44.11\00:10:46.07
in Genesis 6:3,
00:10:46.11\00:10:48.88
He says, "My Spirit shall
not always strive with man."
00:10:48.91\00:10:52.35
Yes.
00:10:52.38\00:10:53.72
That means that,
excuse me, indicates to me
00:10:53.75\00:10:56.48
that there's a time
00:10:56.52\00:10:57.85
that probation
is going to close,
00:10:57.89\00:10:59.22
His spirit's
going to be withdrawn
00:10:59.25\00:11:01.02
from the earth and then what?
00:11:01.06\00:11:03.63
So we need to be ready,
at that hour of probation,
00:11:03.66\00:11:06.03
we need to make
sure we're ready.
00:11:06.06\00:11:07.40
Absolutely. That's
right. That's right.
00:11:07.43\00:11:08.86
Well, let's do a quick summary
and then we'll go back in
00:11:08.90\00:11:11.37
and do some illustrations.
00:11:11.40\00:11:12.80
In other words,
what we're saying
00:11:12.83\00:11:14.24
is that God is
giving an opportunity
00:11:14.27\00:11:17.21
for this world.
00:11:17.24\00:11:18.57
We think of Matthew 24:14,
00:11:18.61\00:11:21.81
where Jesus says, "And
this gospel of the kingdom
00:11:21.84\00:11:24.41
shall be preached in
all the world for a witness
00:11:24.45\00:11:26.51
unto all nations and
then the end shall come,"
00:11:26.55\00:11:29.12
or the process of
the end, I like to add.
00:11:29.15\00:11:32.29
So I when the
gospel is preached,
00:11:32.32\00:11:33.86
shortly thereafter,
Jesus Christ will come.
00:11:33.89\00:11:36.36
And so
opportunity is given for all
00:11:36.39\00:11:39.16
to accept Jesus Christ
as their personal Savior.
00:11:39.19\00:11:41.76
And then when no
one else will accept,
00:11:41.80\00:11:44.43
we're going to
summarize that way,
00:11:44.47\00:11:45.93
then the Holy
Spirit is withdrawn.
00:11:45.97\00:11:48.64
And then the seven last plagues
are, fall upon the world.
00:11:48.67\00:11:53.38
And shortly thereafter,
the Lord Jesus Christ comes
00:11:53.41\00:11:55.94
to claim those that are His,
00:11:55.98\00:11:57.45
those who have
accepted Jesus Christ
00:11:57.48\00:11:58.81
as their personal Savior.
00:11:58.85\00:12:00.18
And this is a very
small, quick summary.
00:12:00.22\00:12:02.58
But, well, let's go back
and look at some examples
00:12:02.62\00:12:04.65
in the Bible of people
00:12:04.69\00:12:07.36
that had a period of
time to make a decision.
00:12:07.39\00:12:11.16
Yes.
00:12:11.19\00:12:12.53
And then their time to
make a decision was over.
00:12:12.56\00:12:14.73
So, Pastor Kenny mentioned,
00:12:14.76\00:12:16.67
Genesis Chapter 6
00:12:16.70\00:12:18.50
and let's go to that one.
00:12:18.53\00:12:21.37
In Genesis Chapter 6,
00:12:21.40\00:12:23.51
we have verse 5,
00:12:23.54\00:12:27.61
"Then the Lord saw
that the wickedness of man
00:12:27.64\00:12:30.48
was great in the
earth and that every intent
00:12:30.55\00:12:33.65
of the thoughts of his heart
was only evil continually."
00:12:33.72\00:12:37.49
So this is a condition,
00:12:37.52\00:12:40.29
a horrible condition
that God has to take action.
00:12:40.36\00:12:43.32
But even then,
even when God sees this,
00:12:43.36\00:12:46.80
He decides to give
the people an opportunity,
00:12:46.83\00:12:49.30
and this is
where Genesis 6:3 says,
00:12:49.33\00:12:51.97
"And the Lord said,
'My Spirit shall not strive
00:12:52.00\00:12:55.54
with man forever,
for he is in the flesh
00:12:55.57\00:12:57.54
yet his day
shall be 120 years.'"
00:12:57.61\00:13:00.28
So what we understand
that during the time of Noah,
00:13:00.31\00:13:02.91
the people were
given 120 years to repent,
00:13:02.94\00:13:06.75
and turn from their evil ways.
00:13:06.82\00:13:09.85
And the Lord provided an ark.
00:13:09.88\00:13:12.02
And so Noah and
his family preached.
00:13:12.05\00:13:15.52
And then when you
come to Genesis 6:13,
00:13:15.56\00:13:18.49
and God said to Noah,
00:13:18.53\00:13:19.86
"The end of all
flesh has come before Me."
00:13:19.89\00:13:22.00
In other words, the
time of probation is closed,
00:13:22.03\00:13:26.27
"Hence for the earth is filled
with violence through them,
00:13:26.30\00:13:29.17
and behold, I will
destroy them with the earth."
00:13:29.20\00:13:33.24
And so,
00:13:33.27\00:13:35.24
God told Noah and his family,
00:13:35.28\00:13:37.55
come down, come,
00:13:37.58\00:13:39.15
you and your
house come into the ark.
00:13:39.18\00:13:41.52
So the door was closed,
00:13:41.55\00:13:45.22
and no one could go in.
00:13:45.25\00:13:48.32
Now, we understand this
door was closed by an angel
00:13:48.36\00:13:50.53
and the people
once they saw the rain,
00:13:50.56\00:13:52.96
like Noah said,
00:13:52.99\00:13:54.33
and his family
00:13:54.36\00:13:55.70
they have
preached for 120 years.
00:13:55.73\00:13:57.07
They were hoping to get in there
00:13:57.10\00:13:58.47
because that was the
only place of safety.
00:13:58.50\00:14:00.94
There was nowhere they could
go on the earth for safety.
00:14:00.97\00:14:04.44
And they knocked
and knocked but Noah,
00:14:04.47\00:14:06.78
if even if he wanted
to, could not open the door.
00:14:06.81\00:14:08.88
Why?
00:14:08.91\00:14:10.25
Because God is the one
that closed His probation.
00:14:10.28\00:14:12.75
Amen.
00:14:12.78\00:14:14.12
So here we have an
example of probation.
00:14:14.15\00:14:17.09
Can you think of
another one that we can share
00:14:17.12\00:14:19.19
where you see a
time, a period of time
00:14:19.22\00:14:21.99
when God allows
people to make changes
00:14:22.02\00:14:24.83
and if they don't, time is over?
00:14:24.86\00:14:27.20
You know, several in Scripture,
00:14:27.23\00:14:29.30
but we you know,
00:14:29.33\00:14:30.67
our minds always go
to Sodom and Gomorrah...
00:14:30.70\00:14:32.20
Okay, Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:14:32.23\00:14:33.57
Sodom and
Gomorrah which is very,
00:14:33.64\00:14:34.97
God gave a specific
time frame, you know,
00:14:35.00\00:14:37.94
and a warning with Jonah.
00:14:37.97\00:14:40.21
A warning,
Nineveh, they repented.
00:14:40.28\00:14:42.51
Yes.
00:14:42.54\00:14:43.88
See, the good news is we repent.
00:14:43.95\00:14:45.31
Yes.
00:14:45.35\00:14:46.72
And sometime God reverses that.
00:14:46.75\00:14:48.65
And what did they
get, was another 40 years
00:14:48.68\00:14:50.69
or something like that?
00:14:50.72\00:14:52.15
You know, to get it right.
00:14:52.19\00:14:53.89
Forty days, they have
40 days to get it right.
00:14:53.96\00:14:55.66
Yeah, before that,
and then after God...
00:14:55.69\00:14:57.63
Oh, yes, yes.
00:14:57.66\00:14:58.99
Yeah, didn't go ahead
00:14:59.03\00:15:00.36
and fulfill that
prophecy of Jonah.
00:15:00.40\00:15:02.43
God gave them some more time.
00:15:02.46\00:15:03.97
So, that was beautiful,
00:15:04.00\00:15:05.60
but there's still
probationary time.
00:15:05.63\00:15:08.17
And I think God
looks at us today.
00:15:08.20\00:15:10.11
And I think of Matthew 16:3,
00:15:10.14\00:15:12.77
I think Jesus was speaking,
He said, "You hypocrites."
00:15:12.81\00:15:15.58
That's a pretty
strong word now, isn't it?
00:15:15.61\00:15:17.55
Yes.
00:15:17.58\00:15:18.91
Because what is He telling?
00:15:18.95\00:15:20.32
He said, "You can
discern the face of the sky."
00:15:20.35\00:15:22.15
Yes.
00:15:22.18\00:15:23.52
"But you cannot discern
the signs of the times."
00:15:23.59\00:15:26.35
So this was partially I
think what we're talking
00:15:26.39\00:15:29.12
about signs of the times
00:15:29.16\00:15:31.83
that tell us that
probation is closing.
00:15:31.86\00:15:34.73
We're establishing at
least in my opinion, right?
00:15:34.76\00:15:36.87
We're establishing that there
will be a close of probation,
00:15:36.90\00:15:40.34
that the Bible
teaches a close of probation.
00:15:40.37\00:15:43.81
Illustration after
illustration is given
00:15:43.84\00:15:46.68
about how God set a time.
00:15:46.71\00:15:48.31
We mentioned at the
first of the program,
00:15:48.34\00:15:50.75
when you look back and we study,
00:15:50.78\00:15:52.11
you know, we love to
study Daniel, don't we?
00:15:52.15\00:15:54.02
Daniel, Chapter 2, we
love to study about the image
00:15:54.05\00:15:56.45
and, I mean, what do we think
00:15:56.48\00:15:58.09
when we think about
when you said Babylon
00:15:58.12\00:16:00.39
and in then the next power,
00:16:00.46\00:16:01.79
you know, the Babylon,
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.16
Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome,
00:16:03.19\00:16:04.53
and pagan Rome and
papal Rome and so on.
00:16:04.56\00:16:07.23
Each one of those,
00:16:07.30\00:16:08.63
we have to realize
came to a certain time
00:16:08.66\00:16:10.77
that God had given
for them to come to Him,
00:16:10.80\00:16:13.64
as Joe mentioned here about,
00:16:13.67\00:16:15.64
you know, His
character has to be reproduced.
00:16:15.67\00:16:18.71
And there was no
changes made in that.
00:16:18.74\00:16:20.88
And so their probation ended.
00:16:20.91\00:16:23.38
And then he had the next nation
and the next and the next.
00:16:23.45\00:16:26.11
Oh, there's ample,
00:16:26.15\00:16:27.78
but it's funny how people can
discern things in this world.
00:16:27.82\00:16:31.72
Yes.
00:16:31.75\00:16:33.09
They can look around,
00:16:33.12\00:16:34.46
they can talk about
this, talk about that.
00:16:34.49\00:16:35.89
They know all
baseball and football,
00:16:35.92\00:16:38.09
they know
everything about everything.
00:16:38.13\00:16:39.46
And Jesus says, "My my,
00:16:39.49\00:16:40.83
let's get on to the real,
the reality of things here.
00:16:40.90\00:16:43.03
You need to discern
the signs of the times."
00:16:43.06\00:16:46.60
That tell us once
again probation is closed.
00:16:46.63\00:16:48.37
We can say that a dozen times,
100 times on this program,
00:16:48.40\00:16:51.34
and it's still not enough,
00:16:51.37\00:16:52.74
probation is soon to close,
the door is going to shut,
00:16:52.77\00:16:56.85
not another person will
ever come to Christ again.
00:16:56.88\00:17:02.15
Once that door shut
00:17:02.18\00:17:03.52
just like the ark that
you were talking about,
00:17:03.59\00:17:05.42
that's it.
00:17:05.45\00:17:06.79
And I can't think of
anything more solemn than that,
00:17:06.86\00:17:10.16
because we have
family, and friends,
00:17:10.23\00:17:12.33
and children, and
grandchildren and loved ones,
00:17:12.36\00:17:14.83
they're just,
00:17:14.86\00:17:16.56
they don't seem
to have an interest.
00:17:16.60\00:17:19.17
You know, it's very
interesting that you say that
00:17:19.20\00:17:21.20
because when we are talking,
we mentioned very briefly,
00:17:21.24\00:17:24.67
Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:17:24.71\00:17:26.04
Yeah.
00:17:26.07\00:17:27.41
And the Lord
revealed to Abraham,
00:17:27.48\00:17:29.08
we're going to go
over to Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:17:29.11\00:17:31.18
and we're going to
have to destroy this place.
00:17:31.21\00:17:33.52
Yeah.
00:17:33.55\00:17:34.88
And Abraham starts to plead,
00:17:34.92\00:17:36.25
"Lord, what if
there are 50 people,
00:17:36.28\00:17:38.42
50 righteous people there?
00:17:38.45\00:17:40.46
Will you destroy the
wicked with the righteous?"
00:17:40.49\00:17:43.29
And the Lord said, "No, I
will not destroy the wicked
00:17:43.32\00:17:45.03
with the righteous.
00:17:45.06\00:17:46.39
I will forgive the
nation for the 50 sake,
00:17:46.43\00:17:48.26
for the sake of the 50."
00:17:48.30\00:17:49.63
And Abraham, you
know, he loves people.
00:17:49.66\00:17:51.40
He doesn't want
to see people perish.
00:17:51.43\00:17:53.44
So he keeps asking,
00:17:53.47\00:17:55.37
and even dare to ask,
00:17:55.40\00:17:57.74
I'll say, dare to ask
what if there are only 10.
00:17:57.77\00:18:00.78
I don't know how many thousands
upon thousands were there,
00:18:00.81\00:18:03.65
but he asks, "What
if there are only 10?"
00:18:03.68\00:18:06.05
And the Lord said, "For the 10,
00:18:06.08\00:18:08.68
for the sake of the 10,
00:18:08.72\00:18:10.09
I will not destroy
Sodom and Gomorrah."
00:18:10.12\00:18:11.82
And that was a sad history
00:18:11.85\00:18:14.26
that they went all
through Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:18:14.29\00:18:18.69
they were not even 10
00:18:18.73\00:18:20.80
righteous, good people there.
00:18:20.83\00:18:22.40
Yes.
00:18:22.43\00:18:23.77
And the very few that
were there, less than 10,
00:18:23.80\00:18:26.60
two angels came
and delivered them
00:18:26.63\00:18:28.84
from the
destruction that was come
00:18:28.87\00:18:30.21
and that sends us a message too.
00:18:30.24\00:18:31.87
God will not destroy the
wicked with the righteous.
00:18:31.91\00:18:34.64
Yes.
00:18:34.68\00:18:36.01
And the Lord is
expecting the righteous
00:18:36.04\00:18:37.38
to make a
decision for salvation.
00:18:37.45\00:18:39.75
What if, not Abraham,
00:18:39.78\00:18:41.68
Lot and his family
decided not to get out of there?
00:18:41.72\00:18:46.55
Well, they will be destroyed
00:18:46.59\00:18:47.92
with the wicked
and the righteous.
00:18:47.96\00:18:49.29
So the Lord even today
00:18:49.32\00:18:50.66
is making a call to people
00:18:50.73\00:18:52.36
to separate
themselves from wickedness
00:18:52.39\00:18:55.23
so that they do not
suffer the fate of the wicked.
00:18:55.26\00:18:57.73
So this is a
very solemn message.
00:18:57.77\00:19:01.60
Just more of a
question like, Abraham,
00:19:01.64\00:19:04.37
is it possible that he was,
00:19:04.41\00:19:06.14
I'm gonna say as
nice a little bit selfish,
00:19:06.17\00:19:08.21
that he did not
want to leave basically.
00:19:08.24\00:19:10.88
Oh, you mean Lot?
00:19:10.95\00:19:12.28
Lot, I'm sorry, he
did not want to leave.
00:19:12.31\00:19:14.45
And so it says, you know,
you read the angels helped him.
00:19:14.48\00:19:18.35
Yes.
00:19:18.39\00:19:19.72
And the angels will help us.
00:19:19.75\00:19:21.09
There's time, sometime
we don't want to leave.
00:19:21.12\00:19:22.76
We live, in my opinion in time
00:19:22.79\00:19:26.39
to where we need
to be very careful
00:19:26.43\00:19:27.76
about city life
00:19:27.80\00:19:29.50
and getting out of the cities.
00:19:29.53\00:19:31.03
Again, we're talking
about probation closing.
00:19:31.07\00:19:33.47
We're not going to be able
to get out some of these places
00:19:33.54\00:19:35.34
unless we do it now.
00:19:35.37\00:19:37.11
You know, going back
to Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:19:37.14\00:19:41.04
and the fact that
00:19:41.08\00:19:43.14
they were told go
and get your family.
00:19:43.18\00:19:44.55
Yeah.
00:19:44.58\00:19:45.91
And they went and
talked to their family.
00:19:45.95\00:19:47.92
Hey, this place is
going to be destroyed.
00:19:47.95\00:19:50.79
And the way the Bible
talks about is, it's like,
00:19:50.82\00:19:53.19
you must be
joking, everything's fine.
00:19:53.22\00:19:54.99
Everything's good
00:19:55.02\00:19:56.36
and they did not
heed the warning.
00:19:56.39\00:19:58.19
And there's a danger there,
00:19:58.23\00:19:59.86
today Three Angels
Broadcasting Network,
00:19:59.89\00:20:02.66
Behold the Lamb,
we're preaching the gospel.
00:20:02.70\00:20:05.13
And we are giving the warning.
00:20:05.17\00:20:07.04
If you heed the warning,
if you accept the message,
00:20:07.07\00:20:09.87
then you will be
protected, you will be saved.
00:20:09.90\00:20:12.27
That's right.
00:20:12.31\00:20:13.68
So today, that's an
example for us that today,
00:20:13.71\00:20:17.38
people need to make
decision for salvation.
00:20:17.45\00:20:19.15
Amen. Good.
00:20:19.18\00:20:20.52
And I'd like to bring up on that
00:20:20.55\00:20:22.15
making a decision yourself.
00:20:22.18\00:20:24.52
That personal
closing of probation
00:20:24.55\00:20:26.76
is when we pass away.
00:20:26.79\00:20:28.66
Okay, very good
point, very good point.
00:20:28.69\00:20:30.13
We're active, we're
either growing in sanctification
00:20:30.16\00:20:34.13
or we're growing in
sin, one or the other.
00:20:34.20\00:20:36.97
The Holy Spirit is on one side,
00:20:37.00\00:20:39.93
the fallen angel is
on the other side saying,
00:20:39.97\00:20:43.51
"I can lie to you, I can cheat,
00:20:43.54\00:20:45.61
I can do whatever I want
to fool you into sinning."
00:20:45.64\00:20:49.81
But on the other hand,
you've got the Holy Spirit,
00:20:49.84\00:20:52.41
who is the part of
the Godhead is saying,
00:20:52.45\00:20:56.05
"I gave you, we
gave you free will
00:20:56.08\00:20:58.82
to do as you please
00:20:58.85\00:21:00.66
and we want your love,
00:21:00.69\00:21:02.79
and love cannot be forced.
00:21:02.82\00:21:05.29
So therefore, I just wait.
00:21:05.33\00:21:08.03
I call you, I beckon you,
00:21:08.06\00:21:10.10
I give you the word
to look at and learn
00:21:10.17\00:21:12.70
and, but I'm not going
to twist your arm to love me
00:21:12.73\00:21:15.67
and to come back."
00:21:15.70\00:21:18.11
And so you might think
he's handicapped in a way.
00:21:18.14\00:21:21.61
But the point is, when you die,
00:21:21.64\00:21:24.15
whatever you
have is what you keep.
00:21:24.18\00:21:27.42
There's no fixing it after that.
00:21:27.45\00:21:29.02
So that's the personal probation
00:21:29.05\00:21:30.89
that we need to deal
with daily and I forget,
00:21:30.92\00:21:33.39
I need to be
doing something now,
00:21:33.46\00:21:35.46
not waiting for later.
00:21:35.49\00:21:36.83
So you're saying, there's
not really a second chance
00:21:36.86\00:21:39.49
after you're dead, you're dead.
00:21:39.53\00:21:40.90
When you're dead,
the record is solid,
00:21:40.93\00:21:42.63
there's no fixing
it, no changing it.
00:21:42.66\00:21:44.00
So speaking of the
close of probation,
00:21:44.07\00:21:48.67
which is a general
closing of probation
00:21:48.70\00:21:50.61
for the whole world.
00:21:50.64\00:21:52.41
There's also a close of
probation for individuals
00:21:52.44\00:21:55.31
that die before that time comes,
00:21:55.34\00:21:57.48
so even today while we are here,
00:21:57.55\00:22:00.32
there may be someone
that could be listening
00:22:00.35\00:22:02.62
and their final day is today,
00:22:02.65\00:22:05.92
they may have hour
left, hours, we don't know.
00:22:05.95\00:22:10.26
But someone may be
listening right now
00:22:10.33\00:22:12.76
that their final day is today,
00:22:12.79\00:22:14.40
that's a very solemn thought,
00:22:14.43\00:22:15.76
and what will be their decision
for salvation or to be lost?
00:22:15.80\00:22:21.17
Now, I'd like to
add to that discomfort,
00:22:21.20\00:22:24.01
and that is that,
00:22:24.04\00:22:25.51
a person can be a hard
nut to crack all their lives
00:22:25.54\00:22:30.05
and never give in,
an atheist whatever.
00:22:30.08\00:22:32.55
But when it comes to
the deathbed salvation issue
00:22:32.58\00:22:36.69
that people say,
well, that's not fair.
00:22:36.72\00:22:39.42
I don't believe in
deathbed salvation.
00:22:39.45\00:22:41.99
I'd like to use the example
of the thief on the cross.
00:22:42.02\00:22:45.63
I doubt that he went to church,
00:22:45.66\00:22:48.46
I doubt that he paid his tithe,
00:22:48.50\00:22:50.77
he probably
would have stolen it.
00:22:50.80\00:22:52.73
And in any event,
00:22:52.77\00:22:54.87
just before he passed
away, he said something.
00:22:54.90\00:22:59.14
And Jesus said,
00:22:59.17\00:23:00.51
"You'll be in paradise with Me."
00:23:00.58\00:23:03.01
Now something
happened there in that moment.
00:23:03.04\00:23:06.05
And I think what it was,
00:23:06.08\00:23:07.82
is what that thief said.
00:23:07.85\00:23:09.38
He said one word that singed it,
00:23:11.02\00:23:14.49
Lord.
00:23:14.52\00:23:16.29
When he said,
"Lord, remember me."
00:23:16.32\00:23:17.93
When he said, Lord,
00:23:17.96\00:23:19.29
he said, "I accept you
as my Savior, my Messiah,
00:23:19.33\00:23:23.26
the one who paid for
my sins, I accept you."
00:23:23.30\00:23:25.67
Very good. That was it.
00:23:25.70\00:23:27.17
Now that didn't take much.
00:23:27.24\00:23:28.80
So thank God,
00:23:28.84\00:23:30.61
God is the judge and not us.
00:23:30.64\00:23:31.97
Because many
people have relatives
00:23:32.01\00:23:34.08
who have passed away
and we worry about them.
00:23:34.11\00:23:36.75
What was their condition?
00:23:36.78\00:23:38.45
Don't worry
about their condition,
00:23:38.48\00:23:40.32
because in their heart,
00:23:40.35\00:23:42.45
in their mind,
00:23:42.48\00:23:44.09
we don't know
what they were thinking
00:23:44.12\00:23:45.52
or feeling,
00:23:45.55\00:23:47.06
only God knows.
00:23:47.09\00:23:48.52
Yes. And God judges the heart.
00:23:48.56\00:23:50.93
Amen. And we haven't seen that.
00:23:50.96\00:23:52.86
So let's just wait
and let Him decide.
00:23:52.89\00:23:55.30
Thank you very much. Thank you.
00:23:55.33\00:23:57.47
Can we...
00:23:57.50\00:23:58.83
Now there's a
prophecy in the Bible
00:23:58.87\00:24:00.47
that takes at least
a good hour to explain,
00:24:00.54\00:24:04.51
but we're going to
have to try to do it
00:24:04.54\00:24:05.87
within 10 minutes
00:24:05.91\00:24:07.64
because of lack of time,
00:24:07.68\00:24:09.01
and we need to deal
00:24:09.04\00:24:10.38
with the subject of
the close of probation.
00:24:10.45\00:24:12.48
And Daniel Chapter 9 is...
00:24:12.51\00:24:15.05
Daniel Chapter 8 and 9,
00:24:15.08\00:24:16.42
you wanted to
mention something about that,
00:24:16.45\00:24:18.35
to help us understand where
we are in this earth's history,
00:24:18.39\00:24:21.49
because we believe we
are in the time of the end.
00:24:21.52\00:24:24.49
We're in the final time
of this world's history.
00:24:24.53\00:24:28.33
Absolutely.
00:24:28.36\00:24:29.70
Can you take us
through that really quickly?
00:24:29.73\00:24:31.30
When we
mentioned earlier something
00:24:31.33\00:24:33.94
about knowing the time
00:24:33.97\00:24:35.84
or is there a
way to know the time
00:24:35.87\00:24:37.51
and you
mentioned something about,
00:24:37.54\00:24:39.84
forget what it was, Kenny,
but it was something like,
00:24:39.87\00:24:42.51
we don't know the
date nor the hour,
00:24:42.54\00:24:44.15
but we can know the season.
00:24:44.18\00:24:45.51
God has told us,
when the leaves turn,
00:24:45.55\00:24:47.25
you know, the summer is nice.
00:24:47.32\00:24:48.75
So we need to pay attention
00:24:48.78\00:24:50.49
because we've been given
enough in the Word to God,
00:24:50.52\00:24:53.99
to instinctively
look around, see, and know
00:24:54.06\00:24:57.13
that we're moving closer
to the close of probation
00:24:57.16\00:25:00.30
and this is the
general probation.
00:25:00.33\00:25:02.46
This is the global probation.
00:25:02.50\00:25:04.70
This is where God
00:25:04.73\00:25:06.77
throws sin into the
lake of fire, and it's over.
00:25:06.84\00:25:10.44
And we have a lot we
can talk about there,
00:25:10.51\00:25:12.71
it'd be beautiful time, oh, man.
00:25:12.74\00:25:14.34
Wow.
00:25:14.38\00:25:15.71
So anyway,
00:25:15.74\00:25:17.91
we were given in Daniel 9:25,
00:25:17.95\00:25:20.82
a statement that...
00:25:20.85\00:25:23.42
Well, let's just
go there for a moment
00:25:23.49\00:25:25.95
and see if we can
pull up something there.
00:25:25.99\00:25:28.09
That's very important.
00:25:28.12\00:25:30.13
Daniel 9:25, let's see here.
00:25:30.16\00:25:35.46
Let me find that there.
00:25:35.50\00:25:38.90
So in Daniel 9:25?
00:25:38.93\00:25:41.07
9:25,
00:25:41.10\00:25:42.44
let me read through this...
00:25:42.47\00:25:43.81
Part of the prophecy. Okay.
00:25:43.84\00:25:45.17
This is a very serious prophecy.
00:25:45.21\00:25:49.04
Seventy weeks are determined.
00:25:49.08\00:25:50.45
There's a time period,
00:25:50.48\00:25:51.81
"Seventy weeks are
determined upon the people
00:25:51.85\00:25:53.62
and upon the holy city
to finish the transgression
00:25:53.65\00:25:57.09
and that is sin against God
00:25:57.12\00:25:59.62
and to make an end of sin
00:25:59.65\00:26:01.16
and to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:26:01.19\00:26:03.63
and to bring in
everlasting righteousness."
00:26:03.66\00:26:05.86
You see, He's
going to heal the world,
00:26:05.89\00:26:07.66
He's going to heal the people.
00:26:07.70\00:26:09.23
He's going to put
us back where we were,
00:26:09.26\00:26:11.90
with God, one as God,
00:26:11.93\00:26:13.94
"And to set and to seal
up the vision of the prophecy
00:26:13.97\00:26:16.74
and to anoint the Most Holy."
00:26:16.81\00:26:19.14
So Jesus was coming,
00:26:19.17\00:26:20.51
the anointed one,
00:26:20.58\00:26:21.91
with the most
holy one was coming.
00:26:21.94\00:26:23.35
Now this is a
period of time here
00:26:23.38\00:26:25.61
that talks about
the prince coming
00:26:25.65\00:26:28.95
and talking about how many
00:26:28.98\00:26:30.79
after and after
three score and two weeks,
00:26:30.82\00:26:33.69
the Messiah shall be cut off,
00:26:33.76\00:26:35.52
that means He's going to be,
00:26:35.56\00:26:36.93
He's going to give His life.
00:26:36.96\00:26:38.79
And so we're
talking about the Messiah,
00:26:38.83\00:26:40.40
it's very clear.
00:26:40.43\00:26:41.76
And it goes on and says,
00:26:41.80\00:26:43.20
"And he shall
confirm the covenant
00:26:43.23\00:26:44.67
with many for one week."
00:26:44.70\00:26:46.63
That's a probation.
00:26:46.67\00:26:48.27
That is a probation
because when Jesus comes,
00:26:48.30\00:26:51.01
goes through all
that He has to go through
00:26:51.04\00:26:53.98
and the timings are there
00:26:54.01\00:26:56.04
and based on
00:26:56.08\00:26:58.18
a particular
beginning point that's specific
00:26:58.21\00:27:01.05
and that is when
Artaxerxes gives the right
00:27:01.08\00:27:04.89
to Ezra to go and
rebuild Jerusalem,
00:27:04.92\00:27:07.76
rebuild the
temple, rebuild the wall
00:27:07.79\00:27:09.92
and it gives the date
it was, what was that date?
00:27:09.96\00:27:12.46
457.
00:27:12.49\00:27:13.83
Yeah.
00:27:13.90\00:27:15.23
And it was the
seventh year of Artaxerxes.
00:27:15.26\00:27:17.57
Yeah, it's all there perfectly.
00:27:17.60\00:27:19.63
And it goes on and says,
00:27:19.67\00:27:21.17
"And he shall
confirm the covenant
00:27:21.20\00:27:22.54
with many for one week.
00:27:22.57\00:27:24.04
And in the midst of that week,
00:27:24.11\00:27:25.44
he shall cause the sacrifice
00:27:25.47\00:27:29.88
and the oblation to cease."
00:27:29.91\00:27:31.98
Now, oblation
is a holy offering.
00:27:32.01\00:27:35.52
So the holy offering came,
00:27:35.55\00:27:38.32
God Himself and
when He allowed Himself
00:27:38.35\00:27:43.29
to give His life up,
00:27:43.32\00:27:44.66
that sacrifice was
the final sacrifice.
00:27:44.69\00:27:48.70
Now, it says,
00:27:48.73\00:27:50.97
"And he shall
confirm the covenant
00:27:51.00\00:27:52.97
with many for one week."
00:27:53.00\00:27:55.57
So in the middle of that week,
00:27:55.60\00:27:58.17
He gave Himself, sacrifice
00:27:58.21\00:28:00.41
and there was three
and a half years left.
00:28:00.48\00:28:02.31
Yes.
00:28:02.34\00:28:03.68
And during those
three and a half years,
00:28:03.75\00:28:06.92
the message went
to the chosen people
00:28:06.95\00:28:10.19
who were to
spread it to the world
00:28:10.22\00:28:13.15
and weren't doing well.
00:28:13.19\00:28:15.42
And at the end of that
three and a half years,
00:28:15.46\00:28:18.89
Stephen, who was
a Jewish Christian
00:28:18.93\00:28:23.90
was trying to share with them,
00:28:23.97\00:28:25.77
this is the Messiah.
00:28:25.80\00:28:27.24
Yes.
00:28:27.27\00:28:28.60
And they stoned him to death.
00:28:28.64\00:28:31.44
And at that point, Paul,
00:28:31.47\00:28:33.71
yeah, Paul in Acts says,
00:28:33.78\00:28:37.68
"Now it goes to the Gentiles,
00:28:37.71\00:28:40.02
because you have refused it."
00:28:40.05\00:28:42.35
That was a close of
probation right there.
00:28:42.38\00:28:45.15
Close of probation of a nation
00:28:45.19\00:28:48.12
chosen by God to do a
job, the first covenant
00:28:48.16\00:28:52.06
and they failed,
00:28:52.09\00:28:53.43
and it was taken to
the rest of the world.
00:28:53.50\00:28:56.06
And during that particular time,
00:28:56.10\00:28:58.90
it's rather interesting that...
00:28:58.93\00:29:02.30
Now this is the leaders,
the leaders knew the Bible.
00:29:02.34\00:29:04.77
The leaders knew the Bible.
00:29:04.81\00:29:06.14
They knew the
Messiah was coming.
00:29:06.17\00:29:07.74
And they grew to know
00:29:07.78\00:29:09.61
that this Jesus was fulfilling
over 100 prophecies perfectly.
00:29:09.64\00:29:16.32
And finally, they
realized it and said,
00:29:16.35\00:29:20.66
I'm going to read right here
out of their own literature,
00:29:20.69\00:29:23.29
what they said here, hang on.
00:29:23.32\00:29:26.49
It's called the Rabbinic Curse.
00:29:26.53\00:29:29.66
It's in the Talmudic Law,
00:29:29.70\00:29:31.50
page 978, section two, line 28.
00:29:31.53\00:29:35.24
And this is what it says,
00:29:35.27\00:29:38.11
"May the bones of the hands
00:29:38.14\00:29:39.57
and the bones of
the fingers decay
00:29:39.61\00:29:41.44
and decompose of Him,"
00:29:41.48\00:29:43.65
who turns the pages
of the Book of Daniel,
00:29:43.68\00:29:46.58
to find out the time
of Daniel 9:24 to 27,
00:29:46.61\00:29:53.09
which we just read
that are very specific
00:29:53.12\00:29:54.96
about when the Messiah
would come and it says,
00:29:54.99\00:29:58.59
"To find out that time
00:29:58.63\00:30:00.20
and may his memory rot
00:30:00.23\00:30:01.63
from off the face
of the earth forever."
00:30:01.66\00:30:04.07
This is a curse
to scare the people,
00:30:04.10\00:30:07.14
the chosen people
away from realizing,
00:30:07.17\00:30:10.51
your Messiah has already come.
00:30:10.54\00:30:13.27
We need to get ready
for probation to close.
00:30:13.31\00:30:16.85
Well, thank you very much
00:30:16.88\00:30:18.21
and this part of Daniel 9:25
00:30:18.25\00:30:20.75
towards the end of the chapter
00:30:20.82\00:30:23.05
is part of a longer prophecy
00:30:23.08\00:30:25.15
because you mentioned 70
weeks which are time prophecies.
00:30:25.19\00:30:30.23
Seventy times seven is 490.
00:30:30.26\00:30:33.50
And beginning in Daniel 8:14,
00:30:33.53\00:30:36.67
which is unto 2300
evenings and mornings
00:30:36.70\00:30:41.54
and then the
sanctuary shall be cleansed.
00:30:41.57\00:30:43.81
So from Daniel 8:14,
00:30:43.84\00:30:46.07
we understand
based on Daniel Chapter 9
00:30:46.11\00:30:48.18
that the beginning
of this was 457 BC,
00:30:48.21\00:30:51.81
because from the going forth
00:30:51.85\00:30:53.18
to restore and
rebuild Jerusalem,
00:30:53.21\00:30:55.55
unto the Messiah, the
prince shall be 70 weeks.
00:30:55.58\00:30:58.19
So this takes us from for 457 BC
00:30:58.22\00:31:00.46
to the year 1844.
00:31:00.49\00:31:02.59
So as we're trying to
reduce a lot of information
00:31:02.62\00:31:05.09
into a short period of time,
00:31:05.13\00:31:07.10
from 457 BC to 1844 AD,
00:31:07.13\00:31:12.73
that's a little
over 100 years ago.
00:31:12.77\00:31:15.57
What happened in the
year 1844, Pastor Kenny?
00:31:15.60\00:31:18.77
Yeah, well, when we,
00:31:18.81\00:31:20.18
that's a beautiful subject
00:31:20.21\00:31:21.54
that a lot of folks
probably in the world
00:31:21.58\00:31:24.41
maybe have never heard of,
00:31:24.45\00:31:25.78
they need to,
00:31:25.81\00:31:27.15
the cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:31:27.22\00:31:28.92
Judgment began
in the house of God.
00:31:28.95\00:31:31.22
Yes.
00:31:31.25\00:31:32.59
Again, we cut it
short, put it down
00:31:32.62\00:31:33.96
as simply our names
come up in the judgment.
00:31:33.99\00:31:36.26
We're talking about
probation is going to close,
00:31:36.29\00:31:38.09
we're going to be
pronounced fit for heaven
00:31:38.13\00:31:41.20
or another place.
00:31:41.23\00:31:43.47
We have to decide
which way that's going to be,
00:31:43.50\00:31:45.37
'cause this probationary time,
00:31:45.40\00:31:46.77
you just looked
at the 490 years,
00:31:46.84\00:31:48.97
I've seen probationary time.
00:31:49.00\00:31:50.71
I've seen the seven
years in the middle there,
00:31:50.74\00:31:53.07
the probationary time.
00:31:53.11\00:31:54.78
I see the 1810 years left,
00:31:54.81\00:31:56.95
I see probationary time come to.
00:31:56.98\00:31:59.35
And again, God always works
on that order He always has
00:31:59.38\00:32:03.39
and He always will.
00:32:03.42\00:32:04.75
He sets a time.
00:32:04.79\00:32:06.32
And so we see that now
that the hour we live in,
00:32:06.35\00:32:09.09
we need to be giving a
specific message to the world
00:32:09.12\00:32:13.29
of the judgment hour.
00:32:13.33\00:32:14.66
If we believe we're in it.
00:32:14.70\00:32:16.53
Now, I'll say
this nice as I can,
00:32:16.56\00:32:17.90
even as Adventist
if we really believed,
00:32:17.93\00:32:20.54
that we were in
the judgment hour
00:32:20.57\00:32:21.90
like it's proven
00:32:21.94\00:32:23.27
beyond a shadow of a
doubt, Bible prophecy.
00:32:23.30\00:32:25.54
Even though some
take the seven year period
00:32:25.57\00:32:27.84
and they'll put
it at the end of,
00:32:27.88\00:32:29.41
you know, you can't
take, once a prophecy begins
00:32:29.44\00:32:31.48
you can't take
anything out of the middle,
00:32:31.51\00:32:32.85
add or subtract to it, but...
00:32:32.88\00:32:34.92
The devil has done
that because he wants Jesus
00:32:34.95\00:32:37.42
out of the center of the gospel,
00:32:37.49\00:32:39.19
and this is what
we should be giving
00:32:39.22\00:32:40.69
is Jesus to the
world, the great sacrifice.
00:32:40.76\00:32:44.13
And then we give the message
00:32:44.16\00:32:45.49
that the judgment
hour has commenced,
00:32:45.53\00:32:47.00
where it's been commenced,
00:32:47.03\00:32:48.43
that begins with
the righteous dead.
00:32:48.46\00:32:51.63
He began, he said in
my house, in that James 4,
00:32:51.67\00:32:53.54
my house it begins,
00:32:53.57\00:32:55.04
and then it
transfers over to the living.
00:32:55.07\00:32:57.64
Yes.
00:32:57.67\00:32:59.01
So how close is that now?
00:32:59.04\00:33:00.38
We're talking about
probation's going to end.
00:33:00.41\00:33:01.74
Yes.
00:33:01.78\00:33:03.11
Every name will have come
up before probation closes,
00:33:03.14\00:33:06.25
interesting.
00:33:06.28\00:33:07.62
And then sentence
will be pronounced.
00:33:07.65\00:33:09.92
You know, that's
pretty heavy duty
00:33:09.95\00:33:12.42
when you think about it.
00:33:12.45\00:33:13.96
Every person name
will come and they say,
00:33:13.99\00:33:16.52
"I don't want to be involved."
00:33:16.56\00:33:17.89
Well, I hate says, it's too bad.
00:33:17.93\00:33:19.89
You were born in this world
00:33:19.93\00:33:21.26
so we're going to be
involved in the judgment.
00:33:21.30\00:33:22.66
That's right.
00:33:22.70\00:33:24.07
So why not let's
make it for eternity.
00:33:24.10\00:33:27.17
Why not say, "I
want to accept Christ
00:33:27.24\00:33:28.67
as my Lord and Savior."
00:33:28.70\00:33:30.04
Amen.
00:33:30.11\00:33:31.44
See,
probationary time we just met,
00:33:31.47\00:33:32.81
just tell us
quickly just in New York
00:33:32.84\00:33:34.51
just got back from New York
00:33:34.54\00:33:35.88
and we met a Uber driver,
00:33:35.91\00:33:39.25
almost a cab driver so
we all get a cab driver.
00:33:39.28\00:33:42.32
And we were just talking to
him on the ways he was going,
00:33:42.35\00:33:44.59
this young man
maybe 25 years of age,
00:33:44.62\00:33:47.39
and just could
tell by looking at him
00:33:47.46\00:33:49.46
and Holy Spirit says
this guy's interested.
00:33:49.49\00:33:51.39
This guy's interested
and a conversation began.
00:33:51.43\00:33:55.16
And this young
man was interested.
00:33:55.20\00:33:57.70
He didn't know how to pray.
00:33:57.73\00:33:59.73
He didn't understand
anything about Jesus.
00:33:59.77\00:34:01.90
He didn't understand the
times in which we lived in.
00:34:01.94\00:34:05.11
He wasn't worried
00:34:05.14\00:34:06.51
basically he
because he didn't know
00:34:06.54\00:34:07.88
about probation
coming to an end.
00:34:07.91\00:34:09.41
He didn't know anything
about having to give your life
00:34:09.44\00:34:11.28
to Jesus Christ.
00:34:11.31\00:34:12.65
We think that's
not in this world.
00:34:12.68\00:34:14.22
We think people know better.
00:34:14.25\00:34:15.58
They just have
never delved into it.
00:34:15.62\00:34:17.65
They just don't know.
00:34:17.69\00:34:19.29
Anyway, long story
short, it was good.
00:34:19.32\00:34:21.16
We said, we talked with the man
00:34:21.19\00:34:22.96
and everybody else got
out and we stayed right there
00:34:22.99\00:34:25.46
and my wife and
I, we sit right there
00:34:25.49\00:34:26.83
and talk to him and
that, you know, do the prayer.
00:34:26.90\00:34:29.56
He gave his
heart to Jesus, right?
00:34:29.60\00:34:31.90
Amen And there,
confessing his sins,
00:34:31.93\00:34:34.97
and said, I want
to change in my heart.
00:34:35.00\00:34:36.54
I want to change in my
life, how it all began,
00:34:36.57\00:34:39.91
but the Holy Spirit does this.
00:34:39.94\00:34:41.28
See, there was a time,
00:34:41.31\00:34:42.64
maybe a probationary
time was running out
00:34:42.68\00:34:44.05
for this man.
00:34:44.08\00:34:45.41
Maybe that could have been,
00:34:45.45\00:34:46.78
could it not been the last
call did you ever received?
00:34:46.82\00:34:49.62
That's right.
00:34:49.65\00:34:50.99
So we have the opportunity,
00:34:51.02\00:34:52.35
we need to make
sure by the grace of God.
00:34:52.39\00:34:54.59
And so anyway, we got a
lot of follow up on that
00:34:54.62\00:34:56.56
and he's going to
be taking good care,
00:34:56.59\00:34:57.93
we pray.
00:34:57.96\00:34:59.29
So that's just
something that's good
00:34:59.33\00:35:00.70
because the urgency
of probation closing.
00:35:00.73\00:35:03.37
Somebody didn't know Jesus,
00:35:03.40\00:35:04.73
we have a wonderful opportunity
to get the good news.
00:35:04.77\00:35:07.94
Right?
00:35:07.97\00:35:09.30
Every day you talk
people on the phone every day,
00:35:09.34\00:35:10.71
we talk to people,
you talk to people,
00:35:10.74\00:35:12.07
you read your messages.
00:35:12.11\00:35:13.44
We need to understand
00:35:13.48\00:35:14.81
how important this is right now,
00:35:14.84\00:35:16.48
almost, it's to beg and to plead
00:35:16.51\00:35:18.28
with people to listen,
00:35:18.31\00:35:20.22
that the time is running out,
00:35:20.25\00:35:22.25
signs of the time,
00:35:22.28\00:35:23.62
the song says are everywhere.
00:35:23.69\00:35:25.22
Yes. The Bible
says the same thing.
00:35:25.25\00:35:26.96
Yes.
00:35:26.99\00:35:28.32
But my point, if we
believe it, Lord, have mercy.
00:35:28.36\00:35:30.96
Shouldn't we do
something about it?
00:35:30.99\00:35:32.33
Absolutely. Shouldn't we?
00:35:32.36\00:35:33.70
Absolutely.
00:35:33.73\00:35:35.06
We got a lot of
talkers in the world,
00:35:35.10\00:35:36.43
a lot of
talkers in Christianity,
00:35:36.46\00:35:37.80
but we have to
do more than that.
00:35:37.83\00:35:39.17
We have to
believe, we have to go out
00:35:39.20\00:35:40.54
and proclaim the good
news that He's coming back.
00:35:40.57\00:35:42.87
And one of these days,
we say it's all she wrote.
00:35:42.90\00:35:46.17
So it's important
part of this topic
00:35:46.21\00:35:49.68
is during our probationary time,
00:35:49.71\00:35:52.25
is to spend time with Jesus.
00:35:52.28\00:35:53.85
Amen. Get your
life right with Him.
00:35:53.92\00:35:57.39
Now, while there's time,
00:35:57.42\00:35:59.39
don't wait for
next week next month
00:35:59.42\00:36:01.12
when I graduate, when I retire,
00:36:01.16\00:36:03.12
please just do it
now, get it right.
00:36:03.16\00:36:04.86
Amen.
00:36:04.89\00:36:06.23
But that young man, he had
no idea except just needed.
00:36:06.26\00:36:08.70
He said, I've
carried things are so heavy,
00:36:08.73\00:36:10.57
I just can hardly go anymore.
00:36:10.60\00:36:12.33
He didn't realize it was sin.
00:36:12.37\00:36:13.77
Wow.
00:36:13.84\00:36:15.17
But once he understand about sin
00:36:15.20\00:36:17.01
and Jesus willing to take it,
00:36:17.04\00:36:18.37
he was willing to put it
at the foot of the cross.
00:36:18.41\00:36:20.31
How wonderful that is
to see God working today
00:36:20.38\00:36:22.18
because He's making, I
believe, some of His last calls.
00:36:22.21\00:36:24.88
Amen. Amen.
00:36:24.91\00:36:26.25
Wow, very, very
good. Praise the Lord.
00:36:26.28\00:36:28.25
Well, as we see our
time escaping from us...
00:36:28.28\00:36:30.92
what can you share with us
as you look at the prophecies
00:36:33.96\00:36:39.09
that have been fulfilled,
00:36:39.13\00:36:40.50
prophecies that are on
the way to being fulfilled?
00:36:40.53\00:36:44.33
Can you give us some information
00:36:44.37\00:36:46.77
that helps you understand?
00:36:46.84\00:36:48.47
I think time is
coming to a close.
00:36:48.50\00:36:51.44
What things are
happening or have happened today
00:36:51.47\00:36:54.94
that helps you understand
Jesus Christ is coming soon.
00:36:54.98\00:36:57.28
Probation will close very soon.
00:36:57.35\00:36:59.88
One thing that
occurs to me is that
00:36:59.91\00:37:02.95
we're at the time of
the three angels' message.
00:37:02.98\00:37:05.99
The three angels' message
is in Chapter 14 of Revelation
00:37:06.02\00:37:10.23
near the end of the
Bible, near the end of time.
00:37:10.26\00:37:13.80
And it is the last message
from heaven to planet earth.
00:37:13.83\00:37:18.70
And that
message is what we give,
00:37:18.73\00:37:20.57
and this is
basically what it says.
00:37:20.64\00:37:24.04
Revelation 14:7,
00:37:24.11\00:37:27.21
"An angel says
with a loud voice,
00:37:27.28\00:37:30.18
'Fear God and give glory to Him,
00:37:30.25\00:37:33.11
for the hour of His judgment"
00:37:33.15\00:37:35.38
isn't coming, it says "is come."
00:37:35.42\00:37:39.12
Because 1844
00:37:39.15\00:37:40.76
is when the
investigative judgment
00:37:40.79\00:37:42.89
of the righteous
dead and living after them
00:37:42.92\00:37:46.80
is taking place because
when Jesus comes back, He says,
00:37:46.83\00:37:50.67
My reward is with Me already.
00:37:50.70\00:37:52.87
He comes back to get His people
00:37:52.90\00:37:55.84
that He's going
to spend eternity
00:37:55.87\00:37:57.77
with the dead and the living.
00:37:57.81\00:37:59.84
He knows He's coming
back to get His people.
00:37:59.87\00:38:02.31
He says, My reward
is with me already.
00:38:02.34\00:38:04.95
And that is to give them life,
00:38:04.98\00:38:06.75
and to take them with Him.
00:38:06.82\00:38:08.15
Now, it goes on and says,
00:38:08.18\00:38:09.52
"Worship Him that
made heaven, earth,
00:38:09.55\00:38:10.89
the sea, and the
fountains of water."
00:38:10.92\00:38:12.69
This is identifying
which God we worship,
00:38:12.72\00:38:16.76
the Creator God.
00:38:16.83\00:38:18.43
Then the second
angel's message says,
00:38:18.46\00:38:20.40
"And there followed
another angel saying,
00:38:20.43\00:38:22.16
'Babylon is fallen.'"
00:38:22.20\00:38:23.57
Babylon is false teachings.
00:38:23.60\00:38:25.53
God only has one church
00:38:25.57\00:38:26.94
that really knows
the whole pure truth
00:38:26.97\00:38:29.90
that is necessary.
00:38:29.94\00:38:31.27
I mean, you have other churches,
00:38:31.31\00:38:32.67
and they're
teaching the same thing,
00:38:32.71\00:38:34.64
to a degree.
00:38:34.68\00:38:36.01
Now it says, Babylon,
00:38:36.04\00:38:37.38
false teachings
is fallen, is fallen.
00:38:37.45\00:38:38.98
Boy, He said it twice
00:38:39.01\00:38:40.35
because He says,
time's running out,
00:38:40.42\00:38:42.08
this is getting close,
00:38:42.12\00:38:43.92
the great city,
00:38:43.99\00:38:45.32
"Because she made all nations
00:38:45.35\00:38:46.69
drink of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication."
00:38:46.72\00:38:48.49
Now, this is another
entity being worshipped here.
00:38:48.52\00:38:53.53
And she is
delivering drink of the wine.
00:38:53.60\00:38:59.17
So the wine that she's
giving people confuses them,
00:38:59.20\00:39:02.80
and it causes fornication.
00:39:02.84\00:39:05.71
Fornication is when you worship
00:39:05.74\00:39:08.84
someone other than the Creator,
00:39:08.88\00:39:10.75
the created was identified.
00:39:10.78\00:39:12.68
So anytime you worship
someone other than the Creator,
00:39:12.71\00:39:16.55
you're falling into this problem
00:39:16.58\00:39:18.85
because the third
angel's message is.
00:39:18.89\00:39:21.26
"And the third
angel followed them
00:39:21.29\00:39:22.62
saying with a loud voice,
00:39:22.66\00:39:24.03
'If any man worship the beast,"
this is the other choice,
00:39:24.06\00:39:27.10
"and his image receive his mark
in his forehead or his hand,"
00:39:27.13\00:39:30.30
those are identification marks,
00:39:30.37\00:39:32.07
"the same shall
drink of the wine
00:39:32.10\00:39:33.87
of the wrath of God."
00:39:33.94\00:39:35.37
That's right.
00:39:35.40\00:39:36.74
Now, the wrath of God
is the seven last plagues.
00:39:36.81\00:39:39.31
So you better be careful.
00:39:39.34\00:39:40.68
We need to be careful who
we're actually worshipping.
00:39:40.71\00:39:43.45
The Creator God
00:39:43.48\00:39:45.25
gave us Ten Commandments.
00:39:45.28\00:39:47.62
And then there is the God
00:39:47.65\00:39:50.39
where Jesus said in Matthew 7:7,
00:39:50.42\00:39:53.02
"Howbeit in vain
they do worship me,
00:39:53.05\00:39:56.83
teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men."
00:39:56.86\00:40:00.83
So there are commandments
00:40:00.90\00:40:03.77
that do not
come from the Bible's
00:40:03.80\00:40:06.23
Exodus 20:20.
00:40:06.27\00:40:09.64
So we need to be sure
00:40:09.67\00:40:11.01
which commandments we're keeping
00:40:11.04\00:40:13.48
in order to know who
we're worshiping and...
00:40:13.51\00:40:17.55
So the Ten Commandments
00:40:17.58\00:40:18.91
are in Exodus Chapter
20, the Commandments of God?
00:40:18.95\00:40:20.28
Yes.
00:40:20.32\00:40:21.82
So this is, you're talking
about Revelation Chapter 14,
00:40:21.85\00:40:25.32
the three angels' messages?
00:40:25.35\00:40:26.69
Yes.
00:40:26.76\00:40:28.09
I would like to read, you know,
00:40:28.12\00:40:29.46
we mentioned
several times a term,
00:40:29.49\00:40:31.49
we're living at
a time of the end.
00:40:31.53\00:40:33.16
I like to read
from Daniel Chapter 12,
00:40:33.19\00:40:36.03
and Daniel Chapter 12,
we have the angel talking.
00:40:36.06\00:40:39.40
If you want to share some
more about that in a moment,
00:40:39.43\00:40:41.34
as soon as I am
done, you can do that.
00:40:41.37\00:40:43.51
In Daniel,
00:40:43.54\00:40:44.87
the angel's talking to
Daniel telling him about things
00:40:44.91\00:40:47.71
that are going to be
happening in the future.
00:40:47.74\00:40:50.05
And beginning in
Daniel Chapter 12,
00:40:50.08\00:40:54.02
beginning in verse 8, he says,
00:40:54.05\00:40:55.38
"Although I heard,
I did not understand.
00:40:55.42\00:40:58.12
Then I said, 'My Lord,
00:40:58.15\00:40:59.79
what shall be the
end of these things?"
00:40:59.82\00:41:01.82
And he said, 'Go
your way, Daniel,
00:41:01.86\00:41:04.69
for the words are
closed up and sealed
00:41:04.73\00:41:07.50
till the time of the end.
00:41:07.53\00:41:10.17
Many shall be purified,
made white and refined,
00:41:10.20\00:41:13.87
but the wicked
shall do wickedly,
00:41:13.94\00:41:16.00
and none of the
wicked shall understand,
00:41:16.04\00:41:17.91
but the wise shall understand."
00:41:17.94\00:41:19.74
Yes.
00:41:19.77\00:41:21.11
So what we have here
00:41:21.14\00:41:22.48
is that the prophecies
of the Book of Daniel,
00:41:22.51\00:41:23.85
the angel said,
00:41:23.88\00:41:25.58
they're gonna be closed up,
00:41:25.61\00:41:26.95
they're not gonna
be fully understood
00:41:27.02\00:41:28.75
till the time of the end.
00:41:28.78\00:41:30.59
From the 1840s
00:41:30.62\00:41:32.85
the prophecies of Daniel
began to be better understood.
00:41:32.89\00:41:37.69
And now we can look back
00:41:37.73\00:41:39.89
and see the
beauty of the prophecies.
00:41:39.93\00:41:43.47
And from this, we understand
00:41:43.50\00:41:45.23
that we are living
in the time of the end.
00:41:45.27\00:41:48.54
Amen.
00:41:48.57\00:41:49.90
When Christ, who is ministering
in the Most Holy Place,
00:41:49.94\00:41:52.17
as we have discussed,
00:41:52.21\00:41:54.28
he's going through the
names as Pastor Kenny Shelton
00:41:54.31\00:41:56.51
mentioned starting
from the very first man
00:41:56.54\00:41:59.88
and eventually will
go to the names of those
00:41:59.91\00:42:02.88
that are living.
00:42:02.92\00:42:04.29
When that
occurs, we do not know.
00:42:04.32\00:42:06.15
But the names
of every individual
00:42:06.19\00:42:08.56
will come up,
00:42:08.59\00:42:09.92
those who have
accepted Jesus Christ
00:42:09.96\00:42:12.86
as their personal Savior,
00:42:12.89\00:42:14.23
because judgment
begins at the house of God.
00:42:14.30\00:42:16.26
Yes.
00:42:16.30\00:42:17.63
Only the names of those
00:42:17.67\00:42:19.00
who have accepted Jesus Christ
00:42:19.03\00:42:20.37
as their personal
Savior are dealt with
00:42:20.44\00:42:21.77
because the
judgment of the wicked
00:42:21.80\00:42:23.51
is at another time.
00:42:23.54\00:42:24.97
So get your name
in the Book of Life,
00:42:25.01\00:42:28.98
so that your name
can be considered.
00:42:29.01\00:42:30.85
Now, if you want, Pastor Kenny,
00:42:30.88\00:42:33.95
if you have something to say.
00:42:34.02\00:42:35.35
Yeah, I'm just
thinking because we're talking
00:42:35.38\00:42:36.72
about probation so on so forth.
00:42:36.75\00:42:38.09
We have to realize
right now God's judgments
00:42:38.12\00:42:40.86
are falling in the land.
00:42:40.89\00:42:42.22
That is right.
00:42:42.26\00:42:43.63
Right now as we sat
here to miss that point,
00:42:43.66\00:42:45.13
the judgments of God
are falling in the world.
00:42:45.16\00:42:47.53
Now, why are they falling?
00:42:47.60\00:42:48.93
By land, by sea,
by air, pestilence,
00:42:48.96\00:42:50.97
we're talking about everything
00:42:51.00\00:42:52.60
but you know, we're talking
about flood and tornadoes,
00:42:52.63\00:42:55.00
and earthquakes and fires.
00:42:55.04\00:42:56.91
You know, you can go
into and start naming all,
00:42:56.94\00:42:59.27
this has been the...
00:42:59.31\00:43:00.68
I guess the
2018-19 is the worst ever
00:43:00.71\00:43:03.48
in the history of the world
00:43:03.55\00:43:04.88
that tells the indication
that Jesus is to come.
00:43:04.91\00:43:08.18
Well, probation will
close before Jesus comes.
00:43:08.22\00:43:10.69
So these things are
happening right now,
00:43:10.72\00:43:13.56
to tell us beyond
a shadow of a doubt.
00:43:13.59\00:43:15.06
When you're
looking around saying,
00:43:15.09\00:43:17.53
"Why are these
things happening?"
00:43:17.56\00:43:19.56
They are indicators.
00:43:19.59\00:43:20.93
They are signs of the times
00:43:20.96\00:43:22.46
that God's
judgments are falling.
00:43:22.50\00:43:24.47
Right now, you say,
00:43:24.50\00:43:25.83
how do you know
probation is closing?
00:43:25.87\00:43:27.24
I'd say one important part to me
00:43:27.27\00:43:29.77
at least is trying
to study the Word of God
00:43:29.80\00:43:32.01
is because the
image of the beast
00:43:32.04\00:43:34.34
will be formed
before probation closes.
00:43:34.38\00:43:37.75
The image what?
The image to the beast.
00:43:37.78\00:43:40.32
Now, you're talking
about Revelation 13?
00:43:40.35\00:43:41.88
Yeah, Revelation 13.
00:43:41.92\00:43:43.25
We're talking Sunday laws,
00:43:43.28\00:43:44.72
these things will come about
00:43:44.75\00:43:46.65
because it's going
to be the great test
00:43:46.69\00:43:48.39
for the people of God
here in these last days.
00:43:48.42\00:43:50.83
We're going to have to
go through these things.
00:43:50.86\00:43:52.39
A lot of people say,
oh, it's too heavy duty.
00:43:52.43\00:43:54.10
We shouldn't talk about.
00:43:54.13\00:43:55.46
No, in my opinion, we
should talk about them.
00:43:55.50\00:43:58.00
We've got to bring them out.
00:43:58.03\00:44:00.44
What's happening
in the government?
00:44:00.47\00:44:01.80
What's happening
with our nations,
00:44:01.84\00:44:03.71
the loose law is being passed?
00:44:03.74\00:44:06.14
Morality is at all-time low.
00:44:06.17\00:44:09.18
Natural
disasters is all time high.
00:44:09.21\00:44:11.85
So we have to look
at these things and say,
00:44:11.88\00:44:13.72
this tells me
that Jesus is coming.
00:44:13.75\00:44:15.95
And what does
the devil try to do?
00:44:15.98\00:44:18.19
He tries to keep us busy.
00:44:18.22\00:44:20.49
Yes.
00:44:20.56\00:44:21.89
Doing whatever it
might be to keep us busy.
00:44:21.92\00:44:24.83
So that probation what?
00:44:24.86\00:44:26.53
Closes and we're not going
to be saved in the kingdom.
00:44:26.56\00:44:29.53
So don't get all
wrapped up in this and that,
00:44:29.56\00:44:32.40
and whatever else in the world.
00:44:32.43\00:44:33.94
We are wrapped
up in Jesus Christ.
00:44:33.97\00:44:36.34
Solemn events we're told,
00:44:36.37\00:44:38.31
we know beyond a shadow
of a doubt are connected
00:44:38.34\00:44:40.81
in the Scripture
that reveals none of us
00:44:40.88\00:44:44.18
need to be surprised,
00:44:44.25\00:44:45.58
but let me just
say this quickly.
00:44:45.61\00:44:46.95
I tell you, the world is
still going to be surprised.
00:44:46.98\00:44:49.78
That's right.
00:44:49.82\00:44:51.15
Majority of Adventist are
going to still be surprised
00:44:51.19\00:44:53.02
and I can't figure out.
00:44:53.05\00:44:54.79
Just let me go on for a minute.
00:44:54.82\00:44:56.36
You know, well,
00:44:56.39\00:44:57.73
we're going to be surprised,
00:44:57.76\00:44:59.09
I'm not trying
to down trod them.
00:44:59.13\00:45:00.50
I'm not trying
to, I'm just saying
00:45:00.53\00:45:01.86
because of talking to people
00:45:01.90\00:45:03.23
like everybody does
here, it's just most people
00:45:03.26\00:45:05.17
still are not aware
00:45:05.20\00:45:06.53
they're supposed to be aware
00:45:06.57\00:45:08.24
of what's taking place in
the Word of God right now.
00:45:08.27\00:45:12.57
We need to know
what's happening.
00:45:12.61\00:45:15.41
We need to understand
00:45:15.44\00:45:17.15
whether it's the gay
and lesbian movement,
00:45:17.18\00:45:18.98
whatever it might be.
00:45:19.01\00:45:20.35
We're looking at the,
you know, everything green.
00:45:20.42\00:45:23.69
We're looking
at the Paris right?
00:45:23.72\00:45:25.55
Treaty on climate control.
00:45:25.59\00:45:28.86
This will bring
about a Sunday law so fast,
00:45:28.89\00:45:31.13
it will make your head swim.
00:45:31.16\00:45:32.49
Not trying to scare
anybody here but anyway...
00:45:32.53\00:45:34.03
No, it's good to
scare people sometimes.
00:45:34.10\00:45:35.53
This will bring
about a Sunday law so fast
00:45:35.56\00:45:38.10
that we will say,
00:45:38.13\00:45:40.14
"Oh, I didn't realize
this was going to happen."
00:45:40.17\00:45:42.30
Can you briefly tell us about,
00:45:42.34\00:45:44.81
you mentioned Sunday law,
00:45:44.84\00:45:46.31
what's the
implication of a Sunday law?
00:45:46.34\00:45:48.21
Why would a Sunday
law be a bad thing?
00:45:48.24\00:45:51.28
Well, you know,
what we've had for years,
00:45:51.31\00:45:53.52
we call them blue laws.
00:45:53.55\00:45:54.88
Okay So that's been going on.
00:45:54.92\00:45:56.35
Somebody said the other day,
00:45:56.38\00:45:57.72
"Well, now why there
can't be no Sunday law."
00:45:57.75\00:46:00.59
I want to say for Pete's sake,
00:46:00.66\00:46:01.99
and I probably shouldn't
say that, for Pete's sake.
00:46:02.02\00:46:03.63
Listen, Sunday laws
have been on the books,
00:46:03.66\00:46:05.49
of blue law for 1700 years.
00:46:05.53\00:46:08.36
First one was in
321 with Constantine.
00:46:08.40\00:46:11.13
So I'm saying,
ever since that point,
00:46:11.17\00:46:12.53
there's been some kind of
a Sunday laws on the book.
00:46:12.57\00:46:15.27
Now they're being agitated.
00:46:15.30\00:46:17.21
Okay.
00:46:17.24\00:46:18.57
The government is asking for it,
00:46:18.61\00:46:19.94
the people are asking for
it because of climate change.
00:46:19.97\00:46:23.01
They're saying that
with climate change,
00:46:23.04\00:46:26.21
it's going to
affect us as human beings,
00:46:26.25\00:46:28.48
it's going to
affect our economy,
00:46:28.52\00:46:30.32
it's going to affect the
land, it's going to affect.
00:46:30.39\00:46:32.59
In fact,
00:46:32.62\00:46:33.96
was that the government
has 13 different agencies
00:46:33.99\00:46:37.63
that they've had to delve
into the Paris Treaty here
00:46:37.66\00:46:40.63
about, you know,
what's happening in the world.
00:46:40.70\00:46:45.10
You know what they all say?
00:46:45.13\00:46:46.47
What is that?
00:46:46.50\00:46:47.84
I don't think they
even opened the Scripture.
00:46:47.87\00:46:49.37
But they come
right around and said,
00:46:49.40\00:46:51.17
"Oh, we're predicting
00:46:51.21\00:46:53.27
there's going to be a whole
lot more fires than ever before.
00:46:53.31\00:46:55.68
We're predicting there's going
to be more flooding in the land
00:46:55.71\00:46:58.18
than ever before.
00:46:58.21\00:46:59.55
The hurricanes
and all this, the sea,
00:46:59.58\00:47:01.75
everything that
happens in right there
00:47:01.78\00:47:03.32
is going to be
worse than ever before."
00:47:03.39\00:47:05.39
How did they know that?
00:47:05.42\00:47:08.12
See, they may not
be reading Scripture,
00:47:08.16\00:47:09.69
but they know from the text so
00:47:09.72\00:47:11.13
and then they go back
and read some scriptures,
00:47:11.16\00:47:12.86
you'll say, wow!
00:47:12.89\00:47:14.46
So the earth is
growing old like a garment,
00:47:14.50\00:47:16.50
and all these
things are happening,
00:47:16.53\00:47:17.87
and the Lord is coming soon?"
00:47:17.90\00:47:19.23
Exactly, and these and why
should we be shocked about it?
00:47:19.27\00:47:21.64
You know, the Supreme
Court's already passed
00:47:21.67\00:47:24.04
basically a Sunday law in 1961.
00:47:24.11\00:47:26.54
You just have to look at it.
00:47:26.57\00:47:27.91
Again, it's not,
00:47:27.94\00:47:29.28
it's not dealing
with you can do this,
00:47:29.31\00:47:30.65
and you can do that.
00:47:30.68\00:47:32.01
But it's dealing with humanity
00:47:32.05\00:47:33.42
and the good of the people.
00:47:33.45\00:47:35.05
So they
completely sidestep the issue
00:47:35.08\00:47:37.09
and it's already
there on the book.
00:47:37.12\00:47:38.49
It's just a matter when
God lets go of those winds.
00:47:38.52\00:47:41.82
I see that Joe is very
anxious to say something.
00:47:41.86\00:47:45.49
Now that you
brought up the Sunday law,
00:47:45.53\00:47:47.63
I'd like to point
out that Satan said,
00:47:47.66\00:47:52.00
"I will exalt myself
above the stars of God,
00:47:52.03\00:47:54.27
I will be as the Most High."
00:47:54.30\00:47:55.77
The Most High is worshiped
and he wants to be worshipped.
00:47:55.80\00:47:58.01
Yes.
00:47:58.04\00:47:59.37
And the bottom line is,
00:47:59.41\00:48:00.78
the Creator who
made heaven, earth,
00:48:00.81\00:48:02.21
everything beneath
the sea and all of that.
00:48:02.24\00:48:05.08
He has Ten Commandments,
00:48:05.11\00:48:06.45
and He will judge by
those Ten Commandments,
00:48:06.48\00:48:08.08
and that will be
the close of probation.
00:48:08.12\00:48:10.39
Now, in the
meantime, we have this,
00:48:10.42\00:48:12.49
"Howbeit in vain do they worship
00:48:12.52\00:48:14.06
Me, teachings doctrines,
00:48:14.09\00:48:15.49
for doctrines the
commandments of men?"
00:48:15.52\00:48:17.93
Well, the commandments of
men you bring up the Sunday law.
00:48:17.96\00:48:20.83
Where did that come from?
00:48:20.90\00:48:22.63
That's not a commandment
from the Bible to keep Sunday.
00:48:22.66\00:48:25.67
God says, "I am
Lord of the Sabbath,
00:48:25.70\00:48:28.74
not Sunday."
00:48:28.77\00:48:30.11
Sure.
00:48:30.14\00:48:31.47
And the Sabbath is
the fourth commandment.
00:48:31.51\00:48:33.31
And the fourth commandment
00:48:33.38\00:48:34.98
says very,
sincerely more than once.
00:48:35.01\00:48:38.15
It's the seventh day,
00:48:38.18\00:48:39.75
God blessed it,
hallowed, sanctified it,
00:48:39.78\00:48:41.92
set aside for a holy purpose
and holy is potentially lethal.
00:48:41.95\00:48:46.52
So be careful if
you break a commandment.
00:48:46.55\00:48:48.89
Now, the idea is that
00:48:48.92\00:48:52.06
Daniel predicted this way back.
00:48:52.09\00:48:54.40
Daniel 7:25 said,
00:48:54.43\00:48:57.63
"And he shall speak great
words against the Most High
00:48:57.67\00:49:00.04
and shall wear out the
saints of the Most High
00:49:00.07\00:49:01.97
and think to change
the times and laws."
00:49:02.00\00:49:05.04
Think to change
the times and laws.
00:49:05.07\00:49:07.08
Well, the fourth
commandment is a law
00:49:07.11\00:49:08.81
and it deals with time,
00:49:08.84\00:49:10.25
and man thinks he changed it.
00:49:10.28\00:49:12.18
And God says,
00:49:12.21\00:49:13.55
you know, thinking
it doesn't make it so
00:49:13.62\00:49:15.45
because God says,
00:49:15.48\00:49:17.52
"I am the Lord, I change not,"
00:49:17.59\00:49:20.16
Malachi 3:6.
00:49:20.19\00:49:21.52
Jesus Himself in
Hebrews 13:8 said,
00:49:21.56\00:49:24.13
"I am the same
yesterday, today and forever."
00:49:24.16\00:49:26.26
They don't make mistakes.
00:49:26.29\00:49:28.20
Okay, so the Sabbath stands.
00:49:28.23\00:49:30.07
It even goes on in
Isaiah 66:22, and says,
00:49:30.10\00:49:33.64
"And it shall come to pass
00:49:33.67\00:49:35.30
that from one
new moon to another
00:49:35.34\00:49:37.04
and from one Sabbath to another,
00:49:37.11\00:49:39.64
all flesh shall come
to worship before Me,
00:49:39.67\00:49:41.78
saith the Lord."
00:49:41.81\00:49:43.14
But where's Satan in
that, where's Sunday in that?
00:49:43.18\00:49:45.85
So the point is,
00:49:45.88\00:49:47.22
yeah, probation is
getting ready to close.
00:49:47.25\00:49:50.22
We're a little bit Laodicean,
00:49:50.29\00:49:51.82
a little bit sleepy
and just to let you know...
00:49:51.85\00:49:54.86
We have two and a half
minutes for you to share that.
00:49:54.89\00:49:57.33
Okay, just want to show
00:49:57.36\00:49:58.69
that something is
happening with the Sunday law,
00:49:58.73\00:50:01.00
not here in the United States.
00:50:01.03\00:50:02.36
Every time I read
Sunday law in United States,
00:50:02.40\00:50:04.57
it's Sunday morning
00:50:04.60\00:50:05.93
you're going to be
able to drink alcohol
00:50:05.97\00:50:07.34
or Sunday morning you're
going to be able to go hunting.
00:50:07.37\00:50:09.57
They're getting
rid of them somewhat.
00:50:09.60\00:50:11.71
And it says here,
00:50:11.74\00:50:13.07
the European Sunday Alliance
welcomes its newest supporter,
00:50:13.11\00:50:16.31
the European Confederation
of Independent Trade Unions.
00:50:16.34\00:50:19.68
The European
Confederate of Trade Unions
00:50:19.71\00:50:22.42
is a confederation
of 38 trade unions,
00:50:22.45\00:50:25.72
organized from 21
European countries
00:50:25.75\00:50:29.06
and includes more
than 5 million members
00:50:29.09\00:50:32.23
and they're all signing.
00:50:32.26\00:50:34.00
This is the European
Sunday Alliance you mentioned.
00:50:34.03\00:50:37.37
Yes, these trade
unions have signed
00:50:37.40\00:50:41.47
to agree to allow Sunday
00:50:41.50\00:50:43.94
as a day off for their workers.
00:50:44.01\00:50:46.14
They're working out the details.
00:50:46.17\00:50:48.41
This is huge. It's moving fast.
00:50:48.44\00:50:50.15
We're not seeing it.
00:50:50.18\00:50:51.58
We need to be
watching, the season is nigh.
00:50:51.61\00:50:55.42
Thank you very
much. Pastor Kenny?
00:50:55.45\00:50:56.79
When you look at the signs,
00:50:56.82\00:50:58.15
the time is real
quick you look at it.
00:50:58.19\00:50:59.52
This is showing that
the world is coming together
00:50:59.55\00:51:00.99
against commandment keepers.
00:51:01.02\00:51:02.36
You have when the Paris Treaty
00:51:02.39\00:51:04.13
where he's
talking about the climate,
00:51:04.16\00:51:05.86
195 nations signed it
00:51:05.89\00:51:08.70
that's just about
every one of them as we see.
00:51:08.73\00:51:11.03
And that is officially
that's a law of the land.
00:51:11.07\00:51:13.87
So we're gonna have to
deal with those issues.
00:51:13.94\00:51:15.30
They're right
here before us. Yes.
00:51:15.34\00:51:17.11
Probation soon to
close. Probation soon to close.
00:51:17.14\00:51:19.37
One of the things that I
like to say at this point
00:51:19.41\00:51:22.01
is that we have about a minute
00:51:22.04\00:51:23.38
before we go to
our, our news from 3ABN,
00:51:23.45\00:51:26.95
and that is, one of the signs
00:51:27.02\00:51:29.35
that Jesus Christ is coming soon
00:51:29.38\00:51:30.72
is the preaching of the gospel.
00:51:30.79\00:51:32.12
I don't know how
many more tools we need,
00:51:32.15\00:51:33.89
because God has given us
tremendous powerful tools
00:51:33.96\00:51:36.36
to preach the gospel.
00:51:36.39\00:51:37.73
We're talking about radio,
television, the printed page,
00:51:37.76\00:51:40.70
now you can preach the
gospel to the internet.
00:51:40.73\00:51:42.60
Now you can witness
from person to person,
00:51:42.63\00:51:44.50
you can distribute
literature faster than ever.
00:51:44.53\00:51:47.54
We have tools to
preach the gospel,
00:51:47.57\00:51:50.21
fast, quick, clear,
and in a moment of time.
00:51:50.24\00:51:53.98
Amen.
00:51:54.01\00:51:55.34
So we encourage you
00:51:55.38\00:51:56.75
that if you have not
given your life to the Lord,
00:51:56.78\00:51:59.28
to give your
heart to the Lord today,
00:51:59.31\00:52:01.75
and we want to encourage
you to consider this topic,
00:52:01.78\00:52:04.82
study this out.
00:52:04.85\00:52:06.19
We mentioned Revelation 13,
00:52:06.22\00:52:08.12
read Revelation Chapter 13, 14
00:52:08.16\00:52:11.06
And Revelation Chapter 18
00:52:11.09\00:52:12.99
promises that there will be,
00:52:13.03\00:52:14.63
the earth will be
lightened with the glory of God.
00:52:14.66\00:52:16.56
The latter rain will come
00:52:16.60\00:52:18.07
when people will
preach this message
00:52:18.10\00:52:19.93
with power on ever, what?
00:52:19.97\00:52:23.07
Like you've never seen before.
00:52:23.10\00:52:24.94
We're going to
be back in a moment
00:52:24.97\00:52:26.31
and we will return briefly.
00:52:26.34\00:52:27.74
