08:53 >> THANK YOU, STEPHANIE, FOR THAT SONG. PASTOR, IT'S AN AMAZING SEGUE 08:58 TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. A BODY IN THAT SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH. 09:06 TROUBLE ALL AROUND US. PESTILENCE, TRIBULATION. NOTHING WILL COME NEAR YOU IF 09:11 YOU ARE ABIDING IN CHRIST. >> THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 09:15 WE SEE THAT IN THE EARLY CHURCH. THE EARLY CHURCH WERE AFRAID 09:19 FOR THEIR LIVES. THEY WERE IN THE UPPER ROOM. THE ROOMS WERE BARRED AND 09:26 LOCKED. WHEN PEOPLE KNOCKED THEY WEREN'T SURE WHO WAS THERE. 09:29 THEY WERE STILL FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY WENT TOWARD TO PREECH THE HOLY 09:34 CHRIST FEARLESSLY. WHERE GOD IS, FEAR IS CAST OUT. 09:40 WE WANT TO KNOW HOW IT IS WE CAN HAVE THAT LOVE IN OUR HEARTS, THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR 09:45 HEARTS SO WE CAN LOSE THE FEAR. FEAR ACTS US TO IN CERTAIN 09:50 WAYS WE WOULDN'T IF WE WERE NOT FEARFUL. >> SOMEONE ASKED A QUESTION, 09:57 COULD YOU ELABORATE ON PEACE AND SAFETY. WHEN DOES THAT TAKE PLACE? 10:07 LET'S GO WITH THAT PEACE AND SAFETY PART. HOW DO YOU ELABORATE A PEACE 10:13 AND SAFETY FROM DESTRUCTION. >> WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS THIS WORLD IS HUMAN BEINGS 10:19 SEEKING REMEDIES FOR ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS. WHETHER THE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS, 10:26 PESTILENCE, NATURAL DISASTERS, CLIMATE CHANGE. THE WORLD WLL COME TOGETHER 10:32 AND SEEK TO PUT IN PLACE SAFETY MECHANISMS, REMEDIES THAT THEY WANT EVERYONE TO GO 10:37 ALONG WITH. THAT IS THE PEACE AND SAFETY. EVERYONE GOES ALONG WITH THIS. 10:42 WHAT THEY HE DO IN THE PROCESS OF THAT, ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 24 AND REVELATION 13 F THEY 10:50 VIOLATE THE CONSCIOUS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DON'T AGREE WITH THEIR AGENDA, WHO SEE 10:54 THINGS DIFFERENTLY. BECAUSE THEY VIOLATE THAT, DESTRUCTION COMES. 10:58 GOD WILL NOT ALLOW -- HE WILL SAY, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THIS, BUT HE WON'T ALLOW THAT 11:04 TO COME TO FRUITION. YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE SAFETY YOU THINK YOU HAVE. 11:10 WILL YOU NOT CONTROL ALL OF THIS THE WAY YOU WANT TO WHILE YOU ARE VIOLATING PEOPLE'S 11:18 CONSCIOUSNESS, YOU FORCE THEM TO DO WHAT THEY DON'T WANT TO DO. 11:22 YOU THINK THIS WILL ALL WORK OUT. GOD STEPS IN AND SAYS, NO, I'M 11:27 SORRY, THIS IS NOT THE WAY IT WORKS. LOOK AT REVELATION 13. 11:31 RICH, FREE, SMALL, GREAT, POOR, WHOEVER THEY ARE. THEY ARE FORCED TO GO ALONG 11:39 WITH THE MARK, THEY HAVE TO GO ALONG WITH THE SYSTEM. THEY EVER THE EVER LASTING 11:44 GOSPEL. DON'T DO THAT. THEN YOU'VE GOT 15, 16, 17, 11:49 ALL OF THE JUDGMENTS THAT FOLLOW. YOU HAVE PEACE AND SAFETY, 11:52 THEN THE DESTRUCTION. REVELATION 13 AND 14. PEACE AND SAFETY. 11:56 THEN REVELATION, 15, 16, DESTRUCTION. >> THE PEACE HAS TO BE BY 12:05 SWORD AND WEAPON AND COERCION IS NOT PEACE. CAN YOU EXPLAIN CONVICTION 12:15 VERSUS COMPLIANCE. >> I BELIEVE CONVICTION IS BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD. 12:20 BASED ON CONSCIOUS. I CAN COMPLY WITH WEARING A MASK. 12:24 EVEN IF I BELIEVE OR DON'T BELIEVE IT, I WOULD BE MORE INCLINED TO PUT A MASK ON 12:30 BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OTHER PEOPLE HAVE. FOR ME, EVEN IF THERE ARE -- 12:37 I'LL GO OUT ON A LIMB. EVEN IF THERE ARE RELIGIOUS LAWS, I CAN COMPLY WITH LAWS 12:46 AS LONG AS THEY DON'T VIOLATE MY CONSCIOUS. I DON'T HAVE TO VIOLATE LAWS 12:53 DELIBERATELY. I CAN GO ALONG WITH THEM. WHEN YOU STEP INTO THE BOUNDS 12:56 OF MY CONSCIOUS AND THE WAY I RELATE TO GOD. THAT'S WHEN I FEEL YOU HAVE 13:02 CROSSED A LINE. THAT IS WHERE CONVICTION STEPS IN. 13:05 CONVICTION IS BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE GOD CHANGED MY LIFE. 13:13 NOT JUST PRESENT, BUT MY FUTURE LIFE. HE IS MY CREATOR, MY REDEEMER. 13:19 HE HAS MY SOIL SOUL ALLEGIANCE. >> THEY REMAINED WITH THEIR CONVICTION, BE NOT CON FORMED. 13:33 HEBREWS 3. WE FIND DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN, CONVICTION. 13:41 I'M CONVICTED. I NEED TO PRAY. HE DIDN'T COMPLY. 13:45 THE LORD DELIVERED HIM. THE APOSTLES LIVES, THE CADENCE IN SCRIPTURE, WHEN 13:54 YOUR CONVICTION DOES BECOME ABRASIVE. LET ME PREPHRASE. 14:00 WHEN THE LAWS OF THE LAND BECOME ABRASIVE TO YOUR CONVICTION, THEN YOU STAND ON 14:05 YOUR CONVICTION. THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE IS TALKING ABOUT. 14:08 WE ARE NOT SAYING BECOME A REBEL FOR THE SAKE OF A CAUSE. SINCE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT 14:16 THE SIGN, WHAT DOES THE COVID-19 VACCINE SYMBOLIZE. THAT'S INTERESTING. 14:20 I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. THE REASON WHY I THINK THAT QUESTION IS SIGNIFICANT. 14:24 WE NEED TO EMPHASIZE AGAIN. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT ABOUT THE MASK. 14:29 IT'S NOT ABOUT THE COVID-19 VACCINATION. WE ARE NOT MEDICAL DOCTORS. 14:34 WE ARE NOT SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS. WE ARE OURSELVES CANNOT ANALYZE THE IMPACT OF THE MASK 14:40 OR THE IMPACT OF THE VACCINE. THE FDA HASN'T PAST A JUDGMENT ON IT YET. 14:48 I DON'T BELIEVE, FROM MYSELF PERSONALLY, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THOSE THINGS ARE IN BIBLE 14:54 PROPHECY, PER SE. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT, I BELIEVE THEY ARE KAIFTED IN MATTHEW 24 14:59 UNDER PESTILENCE. I BELIEVE THAT PESTILENCE IS ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE SEE 15:05 THE NATION'S MOVING TOGETHER TO UNITE AND HATE. I DON'T SEE THOSE THINGS, 15:14 COVID-19 VACCINE, MASK, BEING WHAT IS TALKED ABOUT IN REVELATION CHAPTER 13. 15:20 REVELATION CHAPTER 13 IS CENTERED IN WORSHIP. CENTERED IN RELIGIOUS 15:26 CONFORMITY AND RELIGIOUS PRESSURE IN CON TRAFORT TO GOD THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGES. 15:35 TLAIB MESSAGES. I SEE THAT AS THE ISSUE TALKED ABOUT IN REVELATION 13 IN MARK 15:41 OF THE BEAST. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE MASK IS HELPING US TO REALIZE 15:47 HOW VIABLE ENFORCEMENT CAN BE. >> REALLY GOOD. I LIKE THESE QUESTIONS. 15:53 ANOTHER QUESTION, REVELATION 13, IS THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST IN REVELATION 13, 14, A 16:01 SEPARATE ENTITY FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND BEAST? >> THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST IS 16:05 CONNECTED TO THE SECOND BEAST. WE HAVE TWO BEASTS IN REVELATION 13. 16:11 WE HAVE THE SEA BEAST THAT COMES UP OUT OF THE SEA. THAT IS REVELATION 13 VERSE 1. 16:15 THEN WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL THE LAND BEAST THAT COMES OUT OF THE EARTH, RELEVANTATION 16:22 13:11. THE LANDS BEAST MAKES AN IMAGE TO THE SEA BEAST. 16:27 THE LAND BEAST IS REFLECTING WHAT THE SEA BEAST ONCE WAS. THE SEA BEAST HAS THE WORLD 16:34 WAR SHIPPING AND THEN THE WOUND IS HEALED. WE SEE REFLEX OF THE SEA BEAST 16:44 IN THE LAND BEAST. THAT'S THE IMAGE. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THE TIME 16:48 TO NUANCE THAT. WE WON'T DO THAT RIGHT NOW. WE WON'T TALK TALK ABOUT WHAT THE 16:56 BEASTS REPRESENT. >> IN WE HAVE TIME. BUT LET'S GO FURTHER IN. 17:04 LET'S TAKE THE SECOND PART OF WHAT -- >> CHARACTERISTICS. 17:09 WHAT KIND OF CHARACTER ARE WE DEVELOPING. IN TRIALS, IN TESTS THAT 17:13 CHARACTER WILL COME UP. IN PEACE AND SATIATE, EVERYONE IS A NICE GUY. 17:19 A GOOD PERSON. WHEN CRISIS COMES, ALL OF A SUDDEN CHARACTER COMES TO THE 17:24 TOP. WHAT CHARACTER ARE WE DEVELOPING. 17:27 ARE WE DEVELOPING A CHARACTER OF THE DRAGON, CODE NAME FOR SATAN, THE DEVIL. 17:33 DARKNESS, EVIL, WICKEDNESS. OR THE CHARACTER OF THE LAMB, WHICH IS A SYMBOL OF CHRIST. 17:41 SELF-SACRIFICING, LOVING, GIVING, GRACIOUS, MERCIFUL, LONG SUFFERING, FAIR. 17:45 THAT IS WHAT WE SEE AS THE OUTLYING TO REVELATION 13. WE START IN REVELATION 12. 17:53 THE DRAGON GIVES POWER TO THE BEAST THAT COMES OUT OF THE SEA. 17:56 THE DRAGON IS BEHIND THIS. IN WE CAN IDENTIFY THE CASK OF THE DRAGON, WE CAN SEE IF WE 18:04 WILL COMPLY WITH THE BEAST OR NOT. IF WE HAVE THE CHARACTER OF 18:08 THE DRAGON WE WILL FIND IT HARD TO QUILD TO THE POWERS -- YIELD TO THE POWER. 18:14 LOOK AT THE SYMBOLISM HERE. WE CAN READ REVELATION 12 AND VERSE -- PERSECUTING POWERS? 18:31 NOT THERE YET. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THEM RIGHT. 18:37 I DON'T KNOW WHY I CAN'T FIND THEM. THE FIRST ONE IS -- WE CAN 18:41 LOOK AT VERSE 9. THE GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUTBY THE OLD SERPENT, CALLED 18:51 THE DEVIL, AND SATAN. HE WAS CAST OUT, WHICH DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD. 18:57 HE WAS CAST OUT TO THE EARTH. THE KEY WORD IS DECEPTION. THERE IS A LOT OF DECEPTION 19:04 GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY. WE ARE DOING IT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, DIFFERENT 19:11 MOTIVATIONS. ON A PERSONAL LEVEL WE HAVE ECONOMIC MOTIVATIONS. 19:17 ON THE POLITICAL LEVEL, IN THE MEDIA OF THE DAY, THERE IS A LOT OF SELF-INTEREST PROMOTING 19:24 PEOPLE TO BE DECEPTIVE IN THE WAY THEY RELATE TO CRISIS. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO PICK UP 19:30 HERE. ONLY WE CAN EXAMINE OUR OWN HEARTS AND KNOW WE ARE BEING 19:35 HONEST OR DECEPTIVE. YES, THERE ARE TIMES WE CAN SEE DECEPTION AND WE CAN POINT 19:40 IT OUT. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG IF WE ARE 19:44 TRYING TO DEAL WITH THEM FAIRLY AND HONESTLY. I REALLY FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT 19:49 FOR US TO SEE IF IT HASN'T CAUSED US TO BE DECEPTIVE OR BUY INTO DECEPTION. 19:56 SO THAT WE ARE NOW, A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DEVIL, NOT A CHARACTERISTIC OF GOD 20:05 AND THE LAMB THROUGH FEAR. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A PLACE WHERE YOU FIND THAT 20:11 SPIRIT THAT CHARACTER, THIS IS A CALL TO TURN TO THE LORD AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN AND ASK HIM 20:17 TO GIVE YOU HIS SPIRIT THAT WILL CAST OUT THAT FEAR SO YOU HAVE THAT PROTECTION. 20:24 THAT CHARACTER TRAIT WILL LEAD YOU TO SIDE WITH THE DEVIL, WITH THE BEAST, WTH THE 20:30 POWERS OF DARKNESS WHEN THE FINAL CRISIS COMES. >> YOU MADE A POINT EARLIER IN 20:34 THE FIRST PART OF THE PROGRAM, HOW WHEN SEPTEMBER 11 OCCURRED, PEOPLE WERE WILLING 20:40 TO GIVE UP ANYTHING TO HAVE THEIR SECURITY BACK. THEY WERE OPERATING OUT OF 20:46 FEAR. FEAR LEADS TO DECEPTION, TO MANIPULATION AND TO CONTROL. 20:50 THE FOUR STEPS. FEAR, DECEPTION, I CAN TELL YOU WHATEVER I WANT YOU TO 20:55 KNOW. MANIPULATION. I GOTCHA. 20:58 CONTROL. REVELATION 13. >> THOSE STEMS. 21:01 HERE IS THE NEXT ONE. WHEN REVELATION 12, VERSE 10. AGAIN, IT'S THE DRAGON, THE 21:07 ACCUSER OF SATAN. HE IS GIVING POWER TO THE SEA BEAST. 21:11 THAT BEAST POWER IS REFLECTED IN THE LAND BEAST. CHAPTER 12, VERSE 10. 21:20 I HEARD A LOWFD VOICE SAYING NOW COMES SALVATION AND STRENGTH AND THE POWER IS 21:26 CHRIST FOR THE KEYSER OF OUR BRETHREN IS CAST DOWN, WHICH IS ACCUSED THEM BEFORE GOD DAY 21:32 AND NIGHT. WE SEE A LOT OF ACCUSATION TAKING PLACE TODAY. 21:37 A LOT OF ACCUSING. CRITICISM, JUDGMENTALLISM. WE ARE TOLD THIS IS THE 21:46 CHARACTERISTIC OF SATAN. THIS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DECEIVER. 21:50 HE IS AN ACCUSER. MANY TIMES WE DO IT OUT OF FEAR. 21:56 YOU GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT. IT'S YOUR FAULT. YOU START ACCUSING THE OTHER 22:01 PERSON. YOU SHOULD HAVE WATCHED WHERE YOU WERE GOING. 22:05 YOU FOLLOW TOO CLOSE, YOU REAR END THEM. WHY DID YOU STOP IN THE MIDDLE 22:09 OF THE ROAD. IT'S YOUR FAULT BECAUSE YOU WERE FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY. 22:13 WE ACCUSE OTHERS BECAUSE OF OUR INSECURITIES. WE ACCUSE OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE 22:20 WE ARE FILLED WITH INSECURITY AND FEAR. WE FEEL BETTER ACCUSING AND 22:28 CRITICIZING DEFECTS IN THE OTHER PERSON. EVERYONE HAS DEFECTS. 22:32 OUR MEDIA IS FILLED WITH FINDING FAULT WITH OTHER PEOPLE. 22:38 THE ACCUSATION. >> ACCUSATION. IS THAT WHAT WE ARE DOING. 22:42 EXAMINE YOUR HEARTS. IF WE ARE DEVELOPING A CHARACTERISTIC OF SPIRIT OF 22:46 ACCUSATION, WE ARE DEVELOPING ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DRAGON, HE GIVES POWER TO TO 22:52 THE SEA BEAST AND IT WILL BE HARD TO SIDE WITH THEM WHEN THE CRISIS COMES. 22:58 >> IT'S AMAZING HOW PEOPLE CAN GO DOWN THAT PATH, IF THEY HAVE NOT FIRST ESTABLISHED FOR 23:05 THEMSELVES THE KIND OF PERSON THEY NEED TO BE. >> WHO THEY ARE. 23:08 >> IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR OWN IDENTITY, IT'S EASY TO BE SWAYED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. 23:16 EXAMINE YOURSELF TO SEE WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE -- TEST YOURSELF. 23:23 NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR. ACCUSATION IS TESTING PEOPLE AROUND YOU. 23:27 GOD IS SAYING IT'S TIME FOR SELF-EXAMINATION. WHO ARE YOU. 23:31 IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU CAN END UP ANYWHERE APPEAR SHIP WITHOUT AN ANCHOR IS AT 23:38 THE MERCY OF THE OCEAN. FOR THE MOST PART AN ANCHOR HOLDS YOU WHERE YOU ARE. 23:46 AS YOU TALK ABOUT, IF WE ARE NOT ACHORED IN CHRIST, IT'S WHICHEVER SIDE BLOWS THE WIND 23:54 THE STRONGEST AND WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD. >> LOOK AT ANOTHER 23:59 CHARACTERISTIC IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12. I THINK YOU BROUGHT IT UP 24:05 BEFORE WE WENT TO OUR FIRST ONE. REVELATION 12, CHAPTER 17. 24:12 IT TALKS ABOUT THE DRAGON BEING ANGRY. THE DRAGON WAS ANGRY WITH THE 24:17 WOMAN AND WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH THE -- KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. 24:24 THAT'S A TESTAMENT OF LOVE. THEY SPEAK ABOUT JESUS, THEY ACT LIKE JESUS. 24:29 ANXIETY SER ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC THAT IS RAMPANT IN THE WORLD TODAY. 24:36 ABSOLUTELY CRAZY ANGER OUT THERE. I CAN TELL YOU MY OWN 24:39 EXPERIENCES AND THE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN THE SEA. 24:44 I WANT TO BE IN A COUNTRY AREA. IT'S CRAZY IN THE CITIES RIGHT 24:48 NOW. IT WILL GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER. 24:52 WHAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW, AGAIN, IS A CALL TO EXAMINE OUR HEARTS. 25:01 WHAT IS OUR RESPONSE TO PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT COMPLY WITH THE WAY WE THINK THEY SHOULD BE 25:07 LIVING THEIR LIVES. OR ACTING. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE 25:13 DOING SOMETHING CONSCIENTIOUS. WHEN SOMEONE IS MISTREATING ME, MAYBE THE WAY THEY ARE 25:21 DRIVING. HOW DO I RESPOND TO THEM. HOW AM I THINKING TOWARD THEM? 25:28 IF THEIR ACTIONS CAUSE ME TO BE ANGRY, I ALSO AM PREPARING FOR THE CHARACTER -- RECEIVING 25:35 THE CHARACTER OF SATAN AND PREPARING TO STANDS ON THE SIDE OF THE BEAST, THE SEA 25:42 BEAST, THE SIDE OF THE LAND BEAST WHICH REFLECTS THE IMAGE OF THE SEA BEAST. 25:46 THAT'S A WAKE JUNE CALL FOR ME. IT'S A WAKE JUNE CALL FOR ALL 25:50 OF US. WHAT CHARACTER ARE WE REFLECTING WHEN WE FIND OURS 25:54 IN A SITUATION WHERE MAYBE WE'RE RIGHT. PERFECT EXAMPLE. 26:03 PREACHING THE GOSPEL. JEWS COME AND PERSUADE THE PEOPLE THAT THE ENEMY IS IN 26:10 TOWN AND THEY ARE BEATEN, PUT IN CHAINS, AND TRUST INTO THE INNER DUNCAN. 26:21 DUNGEON. WHAT DO THEY DO? GIVE ME MY ONE CALL. 26:26 I WANT TO CALL MY LAWYER. I'LL SUE YOU UNTIL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. 26:32 NO, THEY START SINGING PRAISES TO GOD. IT'S GENUINE. 26:35 IT'S REAL FOR THEM. THEY BELIEVE THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND WORTHY TO SUFFER FOR 26:41 CHRIST'S SAKE. THE AGGRAVATEST HONOR IS TO SUFFER FOR CHRIST. 26:47 FELLOW SHIP IN SUFFERING IS THE MOST HIGHEST TRUST. IT'S A WEIGHTY TRUST. 26:53 THEY BEGIN TO SING. THE DOORS FLY OPEN. THE ANGEL OF THE LORD COMES 26:58 DOWN AND ALL THE DOORS, IT WAKES U.N. THE KEEPER. HE TAKES A SWORD TO KILL 27:08 HIMSELF. DON YOURSELF NO HARM. HE COULD HAVE BEEN ANGRY AT 27:12 THE JAILER. >> HE COULD HAVE SAID YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD ME LOCKED 27:17 UP IN HERE. HE THINKS, I WANT TO GIVE THIS GUY A BIBLE STUDY. 27:23 HOW CAN I WITNESS? HOW COULD I SAVE THIS GUY. HE SAYS "WHAT MUST I DO TO BE 27:31 SAVED?" >> YOU BRING UP A POINT. WE MENTIONED MASK OF THE 27:36 BEAST. PEOPLE THINKS THEY ARE THAWB THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN A 27:40 CREATIVE NEW WAY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST SHOULD NOT 27:44 BE WHAT WE ARE MASKING, BUT WA WE ARE REVEALING. >> AMEN. 27:49 >> I'VE BEEN SEEING THAT IN A BEAUTIFUL WAY. I'VE BEEN TRUMPETING THAT FROM 27:54 SABBATH TO SABBATH. WHO ARE WE, IF NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT WHAT IS OUR 28:00 REACTION TO IT. THERE WAS ANOTHER CHARACTER I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BRING UP. 28:05 LOOK AT THIS QUICKLY. 13, HE PERSECUTED THE WOMAN. ANOTHER CHARACTER. 28:13 PERSECUTED. THAT'S A GREAT ONE, JOHN, I LOVE THAT. 28:16 ARE WE PERSECUTING PEOPLE, AS WE GET INTO CRISIS. DO WE PERSECUTE THEM? 28:23 I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PERSECUTION TAKING PLACE, ESPECIALLY IN SOCIAL MEDIA. 28:32 CANCELING IS PERSECUTING. >> DO YOU GET A SOCIAL MEDIA? >> MY WIFE DID THE SAME THING. 28:39 SHE SAW THE UNCHRIST-LIKE CHARACTERS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE DISPLAYING ON THERE, THESE 28:50 VICIOUS SENTIMENTS. I DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT. 28:54 YOU SEE PERSECUTING. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. THE CANCEL CULTURE WE ARE IN 28:58 RIGHT NOW, THAT'S PERSECUTION. GANGING UP ON PEOPLE AND ELIMINATING THEM. 29:05 THERE IS NOT MUCH DISTANCE BETWEEN CANCELING SOMEONE AND KILLING SOMEONE. 29:10 YOU ARE BASICALLY DESTROYING THEIR LIVES. WE HAVE TOOLS RIGHT NOW IN 29:15 SOCIAL MEDIA TO DO AS MUCH DAMAGE TO A PERSON AS WE CAN WITHOUT ELIMINATING THEIR 29:20 LIFE. YOU SEE THAT? >> THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE, I'M 29:25 WORKING ON A SEMINAR ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA AND IMPACT ON THE FAMILY. 29:30 DEPENDING ON THE PERSON, THEIR AGE. FROM YOUNG PEOPLE UP, CONSIDER 29:35 SUICIDE OR COMMITTED SUICIDE BECAUSE OF BULLYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 29:39 >> YES. >> PEOPLE HAVE ASKED THE QUESTION, DO WE WANT TO BE A 29:44 PLATFORM THAT PUSHES CERTAIN AGE GROUPS TO THE PLACE THEY ARE FRAGILE CHARACTER THAT HAS 29:49 NOT BEEN FULLY DEVELOPED TO HALKS THESE STRESSES. DO WE WANT TO BE COMPLICIT IN 29:57 THIS. THAT'S A DIFFERENT CATEGORY ALTOGETHER. 30:00 IF WE ARE A PART OF SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY SAID, DO YOU REALIZE THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR 30:04 SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, 37 CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13 TOOK THEIR LIVES BECAUSE THEY 30:12 WERE BULLIED ON THE INTERNET. YOU SAY IF WE SEE BULLYING TAKING PLACE, WE'LL WARN THE 30:20 PERSON, DON'T DO THAT BECAUSE SOMEONE'S LIFE COULD BE AT RISK. 30:25 I THINK IN THE SENSE OF PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS, AS A CHURCH, YOU KNOW, AS A PASTOR 30:30 WE KNOW WE CAN'T WATCH ONE MEMBER BULLY THE OTHER. OR IN SCHOOLS. 30:38 I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS WE LIVE IN A CANCEL CULTURE. IF I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU, I 30:45 NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET RID OF YOU OR NEUTRALIZE YOU. 30:50 THESE ARE THE PRINCIPLES THAT WILL LEAD US TO COMPLY WITH THE MARK OF THE BEAST WITH THE 30:57 ENFORCEMENT IN THE END TIMES OR NOT. WE THINK WHEN THAT CRISIS 31:01 COMES, OF COURSE I DON'T RECEIVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS 31:06 ATTITUDE OF DECEPTION, THIS ATTITUDE OF ACCUSATION, ATTITUDE OF PERSECUTION, 31:12 ATTITUDE OF ANGER. IF YOU ARE CULTIVATING THOSE CHARACTER TRAITS, YOU ARE 31:17 CULTIVATING THE CHARACTER TRAITS AS SATAN AS THE DISEEFER. 31:20 HE IS BEHIND THE SEA BEAST AND THE LAND BEAST WHO WILL CONTROL THIS WORLD SO NO MAN 31:27 WITH BUY OR SELL. ALL OF THOSE CHARACTER TRAITS WILL HELP YOU OR MAKE IT EASY 31:33 TO CONFORM TO THOSE POWERS WHEN THE FINAL TEST COMES. I LOVE THE FACT, JOHN, YOU 31:38 BROUGHT THIS OUT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO WILL SAY, NO, WE WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT. IT THESE ARE 31:45 TINY STEPS PEOPLE CAN TAKE, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT BELIEVERS IN GOD. 31:49 THEY ARE TAKING STEPS TOWARDS THE PRINCIPLES OF HEAVEN. TAKING STEPS FOR THE 31:55 GOVERNMENT OF GOD. GOD IS NOT A DICTATOR. HE IS NOT FORCING PEOPLE TO DO 32:01 THIS. GOD IS THE GOD OF LOVE AND THE GOD OF FREEDOM. 32:05 PEOPLE WHO MAKE CHOICES WILL BE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN. GOD WILL SAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE 32:11 IN HEAVEN. ZACHARIAH TALKS ABOUT PEOPLE WALKING BY THE RIVER OF LIFE 32:15 WITH JESUS. THEY LOOK AT HIS HANDS, THEY SAY -- THEY DIDN'T KNOW 32:21 ANYTHING ABOUT THE CRUCIFIXION, OTHER CALVARY OR HIS DEATH. 32:25 HE EXPLAINS TO THEM WHAT HE GAVE SO THEY COULD HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. 32:32 >> YOU BROUGHT UP THE RESPONSIBILITY MANY OF US SOMETIMES ARE ELUDING -- LET 32:38 ME USE ANOTHER TERM -- AVOIDING, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, EXEMPLIFYING. 32:45 JESUS IN MATTHEW 25, AS MUCH-AS YOU HAVE DONE IT TO THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU HAVE DONE IT TO ME. 32:52 WITH THE RESPONSIBILITIES, WE ARE SAYING AS YOU WOULD HAVE SOMEONE TREAT YOU, YOU TREAT 32:57 THAT INDIVIDUAL. THESE ARE RECIPROCAL VALUES, IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED THAT 33:06 WAY, YOU TREAT ME THAT WAY. NOT IF SOMEONE TREATS ME MEAN, I SHOULD RETURN MEANNESS. 33:17 ALL COME EVIL WITH GOOD. WE ARE SAYING IN A CULTURE -- THIS IS THE AMAZING THING 33:23 ABOUT OUR NATION. WE ARE BORN ON JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES. 33:31 GOING FROM PROTESTANT, THE VALUES AND SCRIPTURE, THE -- WE SEE HE A LOT OF THAT. 33:42 >> A LOT OF THAT. >> REVELATION 13. WE'LL SEE MORE CHARACTERISTICS 33:47 THAT I THINK ARE REALLY CLEAR HERE. WE WILL HONE IN ON A COUPLE OF 33:53 THEM, THAT I THINK WE UNDERSTAND. IT'S ALMOST -- WE READ THE 33:59 VERSES. IT'S IMPLICIT IN THE STATEMENT. 34:03 REVELATION 13 AND VERSE 16, IT SAYS THAT HE CAUSES -- HE CAUSES. 34:11 THE IMPLICATION. HE IS GOING TO FORCE. HE WILL CAUSE ALL SMALL, 34:15 GREAT, RICH, POOR, RECEIVE A MARK IN THEIR RIGHT HAND OR IN THEIR FOREHEAD. 34:22 WE LIKE TO BE IN CONTROL. WE LIKE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. 34:27 WE LIKE TO BE ABLE TO FORCE PEOPLE TO CONFORM TO WHAT WE THINK IS RIGHT. 34:34 WE START THAT JOURNEY MANY TIMES WITH OUR CHILDREN, AS PARENTS, FOR EXAMPLE. 34:42 WIE MIGHT HAVE AND -- MY WIFE AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME KNOWING WHEN THIS TRANSITION 34:49 OUR KIDS FROM ADOLESCENTS TO ADULTS. THEY ARE NOT ADOLESCENTS AND 34:56 THEY WAKE UP AND THEY ARE AN ADULT. THERE IS A TRANSITION PERIOD. 34:59 WE REALIZED THAT. THAT TRANSITION PERIOD ISN'T BASED ON A CERTAIN YEAR. 35:06 IT'S BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL. IT'S BASED ON THE PERSON THEMSELVES. 35:11 OUR DAUGHTER TRANSITIONED EARLIER THAN OUR SON TRANSITIONED. 35:15 IF YOU MISS THAT TRANSITION POINT, YOU CAN TREAT YOUR CHILDREN IN A WAY THAT IS 35:24 DISRESPECTFUL AND DEMEANS THEM AND DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO DEVELOP TO INDEPENDENCE. 35:31 AS PARENTS, WE HAVE TO ALMOST CONTROL THE BEHAVIOR OF OUR KIDS. 35:36 I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. WE HAD A HOUSE WITH TWO FLOORS, WE HAD STAIRS THAT 35:42 WENT DOWN. WE HAD TO GRAB OUR SON SO HE DIDN'T GO FLYING DOWN THE 35:47 STAIRS. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TIMES HE DID GO DOWN THE STAIRS. 35:51 HE LOVED THE STAIRS. WE FINALLY GOT A GATE. GETTING TO THE BOTTOM, WE 35:57 WEREN'T SURE HOW HE WOULD GET THERE. THERE ARE BEHAVIORS YOU 36:00 CONTROL IN YOUR CHILDREN AS THEY GROW UP. THEN YOU HAVE TO TRANSITION 36:05 OUT OF THAT. I THINK IT'S DIFFICULT FOR US IN A SOCIETY. 36:08 WE ARE A SOCIETY OF LAWS. WE ARE A SOCIETY OF RULES. THESE ARE ALL VERY IMPORTANT. 36:14 WHEN YOU GET TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU STOP CONTROLLING PEOPLE THROUGH LAWS AND RULES 36:20 AND ALLOW THEM TO HAVE FREEDOM TO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS. PAUL DEALS WITH THIS IN ROMEEN 36:29 CHAPTER 13. SHOULD WE LOOK THERE REAL QUICK? 36:33 ROMANS 13 WILL BE INFORMATIVE IN RELATION TO THE CRISIS WE ARE HEADING INTO WITH RELATION 36:39 TO THE ULTIMATE FULL FULFILLMENT. ROMANS TALK ABOUT HOW RERELATE TO GOVERNMENTS. 36:48 IT TALKS ABOUT TWO GOVERNMENTS, TWO POWERS, AS WE IDENTIFY DANIEL 7, 17, 23. 36:54 HE SAYS IN VERSE 1 THAT EVERY SOUL BE SUBJECT UNDER THE HIGHER POWERS. 37:00 THERE IS NO POWER BUT THE GOD. THE POWERS THAT BE ARE ORDAINED OF GOD. 37:07 WHOEVER RESISTS THE POWERS RESIST GOD. THEY SHALL RECEIVE DAMNATION. 37:16 NOT BE AFRAID OF THE POWER? DO THAT WHICH IS GOOD AND THAT WILL HAVE -- I THINK WHT YOU 37:22 ARE SAYING, IF WE ARE TH KIND OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COURTEOUS AND LOVING AND MERCIFUL. 37:29 THEN WILL NOT ARREST US AND THROW US IN JAIL FOR THAT. FOR THE MOST PART. 37:36 HE IS A MINISTRY OF GOD, BUT TO DO THAT HE BEAR NOT THE SWORD IN VEIN IN VAIN. 37:52 THIS CAUSE PAY TRIBUTE TO WHOM TAXES FOR CONTINUALLY UNDER THIS THING. 38:02 RENDER ALL THEIR DUES -- 38:13 THEN HE STARTS QUOTING. RIGHT? WHAT COMMANDMENT DOES HE 38:18 QUOTE? >> STEALING AND ADULTERY. THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT 38:25 ADULTERY, THOU SHALL NOT COVET. THEN HE SAYS IF THERE IS 38:29 ANYTHING ELSE IN VERSE 9, IT IS BRIEFLY, ARE THERE OTHER COMMANDMENTS? 38:39 THIS NAMELY IS TO LOE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. ARE THERE OTHER COMMANDMENTS 38:45 THAT ARE NOT COMPREHENDED IN LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF? 38:54 THE FIRST IS LOVE TO GOD. >> NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR. NOTICE THAT HE DOESN'T MENTION 38:59 ANY OF THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS. AND, ALSO, THAT HE LEFT OUT 39:04 ONE OF THE LAST SIX. HE SAID IF THERE IS ANY OTHER COMMANDMENT, IT'S COMPREHENDED 39:11 IN LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR. BUT NOT IN ANY LOVING GOD. PAUL IS SPECIFICALLY TALKING 39:17 ABOUT THE WAY WE RELATE TO EARTHLY RULERS. THE WAY RERELATE TO THE 39:22 GOVERNMENT. RELATE TO THE POWERS THAT BE. AND EXCLUDE THE FIRST FOUR 39:27 COMMANDMENTS. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY WE RELATE TO THE 39:32 POWERS THAT BE. THIS IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING RELEVANTATION 39:38 CHAPTER 13. A.T. JONES WAS A PRETTY PROMINENT PIONEER, GOING WAY 39:46 BACK. 1900s. THERE WERE RELIGIOUS LAWS 39:53 BEING PAST OR ATTEMPTED TO BE MADE IN CONGRESS. HE TOOK THIS ARGUMENT TO 39:58 CONGRESS AND SHARES THIS AS THE BASIS FOR HIS ARGUMENT AGAINST THE PASSAGE OF LAW 40:04 THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE WAY WE WORSHIP GOD. HE SAID, LISTEN, WHEN IT COMES 40:11 TO GOVERNMENT, YOU CAN PASS A LAW AGAINST ABORTION. YOU SHALL NOT KIM YOU CAN PASS 40:18 A LAW AGAINST PORNOGRAPHY. YOU CAN PASS A LAW ABOUT THE WAY YOU TREAT OTHER PEOPLE. 40:23 BUT NOT THE WAY YOU WORSHIP GOD. THAT IS NOT IN YOUR 40:27 PREROGATIVE. >> IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE WAY WE DEAL WITH EARTHLY 40:31 POWERS. >> THAT WAS EXACTLY HIS POINT.-WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE IS HELPING US TO UNDERSTANDS 40:39 REVELATION CHAPTER 13. CHAPTER 13 IS CROSSING THAT LINE. 40:44 REVELATION CHAPTER 13 IS ABOUT CORE ERGS TO WORSHIP. >> WHAT IF YOU GIVE IN BECAUSE 40:59 OF FEAR OR PRESSURE? >> THAT IS THE GOAL THAT SATAN HAS FOR US. 41:05 HE WANTS US TO GIVE IN BECAUSE OF FEAR OR PRESSURE. AT ALL COST -- I WANT TO READ 41:11 THIS FROM REVELATION CHAPTER 12. VERSE 11 SAYS DO NOT GIVER IN 41:21 BECAUSE OF FEAR OR COERCION. AND THEY OVERCAME HIM, SATAN, THE DRAGON, THE BEAST, THE SEA 41:30 BEAST. THEY COVERY CAME HIM FROM THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, BY THE WORD 41:35 OF THEIR TESTIMONY, AND THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES EVEN UNTO DEATH. 41:43 >> IT'S NOT ABOUT SELF-PRESERVATION, IT'S ABOUT HOW YOU TREAT OTHERS. 41:51 EVEN UNDER SEVERE CIRCUMSTANCES. >> WE AS CHRISTIANS, LIKE THE 41:54 EARLY CHURCH, HAVE NO FEAR OF DEATH. DEATH HAS BEEN TURNED INTO 42:00 SLEEP. THE NEXT THING WE KNOW SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. 42:06 SO IN OUR MINDS AND HEARTS, JESUS ASKS THE QUESTION, IF YOU BELIEVE IN ME YOU WILL 42:11 NEVER DIE. "DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?" IF WE BELIEVE IT, WE LOSE 42:19 FEAR. >> JAMES, IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU ARE BRINGING THESE POINTS OUT. 42:24 GO TO MATTHEW 10:28. >> ONCE AGAIN, THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU IS 42:32 DEATH. LOOK WHAT THE LORD SAYS. HE BRINGS THE COMPONENTS YOU 42:36 TALKED ABOUT. FEAR AND DEATH. DO NOT FEAR THOSE WHO KILL THE 42:42 BODY, BUT CANNOT KILL THE SOUL. FEAR HIM WHO IS ABLE TO 42:47 DESTROY SOUL AND BODY IN HELL. PEOPLE MIGHT BE ABLE TO KILL YOU, THEY CAN'T WIPE YOU OUT 42:52 OF EXISTENCE. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT IMMORTAL SOUL. 42:57 BUT HE IS SAYING THEY CANNOT ELIMINATE YOU FROM ETERNAL LIFE. 43:02 BUT GOD CAN. >> I CAN. DON'T PUT YOUR FEAR ON THE 43:05 SIDE OF MEN. FEAR GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM. 43:11 HE IS NOT SAYING BE TERRIFIED OF GOD. IF THERE IS ANY FEAR, IT'S A 43:18 GODLY FEAR. YOU FIND THAT, THEY DID NOT CHOOSE THE FEAR OF THE WORLD. 43:26 >> AMEN. >> WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IN REVERSALLATION, YOU HAVE TO 43:32 DECIDE WHO YOU HONOR AND WHO YOU FEAR. >> IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE 43:37 LAMB. WE LOOK AT A COUPLE OF VERSES HERE. 43:40 HEBREWS CHAPTER 2. BEFORE WE GO THERE, REVELATION CHAPTER 14. 43:46 REVELATION 14 IS HEAVEN'S INSTRUCTION IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS CRISIS. 43:50 >> OKAY. >> WHAT WE FIND IS THIS QUESTION, THEY ARE HITTING A 44:00 SENSITIVE SPOT IN EVERY HUMAN BEING. EVEN THE MOST COURAGEOUS 44:04 PEOPLE HAVE FEAR. COURAGE IS OVERCOMING FEAR. ALL OF US HAVE THAT FEAR. 44:09 IT WAS INSTILLED IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN WHEN WE FELL AND THE LORD CAME AND SAID TO US, 44:15 WHERE ARE YOU, WHY DO YOU HIDE? , I HID MYSELF. 44:20 WE HVE THIS FEAR GOD IS SEEKING TO REMOVE AND REPLACE WITH HIS FEAR. 44:25 THE ONLY WAY THAT THE UNGODLY FEAR IS REMOVED IS IF HIS FEAR IS PUT IN. 44:31 IN REVELATION 14, HERE IS THE INSTRUCTION WE GET FOR THOSE OF US WHO WANT NONCONFORM TILL 44:38 TO THE BEAST AND HIS MARK, TO HIS IMAGE, TO HIS NAME, ETC. BY THE WAY THOSE WHO RECEIVE 44:44 THE IMAGE OR THE CHARACTER OF THE BEAST IS RIGHT IN THERE WITH THE MARK OF THE BEAST. 44:52 REVELATION, HE TALKS ABOUT THE PEOPLE. STANDS ON MOUNT ZION. 44:57 THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST. IT SAYS, THESE ARE THOSE WHO 45:04 HAVE NOT -- THESE ARE THEY WHICH FOLLOW THE LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES. 45:12 HE IS -- THE WAY THAT WE GET THIS HERE IS TO GET OUR FOCUS ON JESUS. 45:19 THAT TAKES US TO HEBREWS. HEEBZ 2. THESE VERSES ARE SO POWERFUL. 45:26 WHEN I FIRST BECAME A CHRISTIAN, THESE WERE MAIN VERSES TO ME. 45:30 I WOULD READ THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN AND ASK GOD TO MAKE THEM A REALITY IN MY LIFE. 45:35 I BELIEVE IN EVERY PROMISE AND EVERY COMMAND OF THE WORD OF GOD IS POWER. 45:39 THE VERY LIFE OF GOD BY WHICH THE COMMAND CAN BE FULFILLED AND THE PROMISE REALIZED. 45:44 WHEN WE RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD, WE RECEIVE THE LIFE AND CHARACTER OF GOD. 45:49 IN HEBREWS, CHAPTER 2, IT SAYS HERE, VERSE 14, FOR MUCH AS THE CHILDREN PARTAKE AS THE 45:58 FLESH AND BLOOD, HE ALSO HIMSELF LIKE WISE TOOK PART OF THE SAME. 46:05 THROUGH DEATH, HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM, WHERE THE POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS THE DEVIL, 46:11 AND DELIVER THEM WHO THROUGH FEAR OF DEATH WERE ALL THEIR LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE. 46:20 >> WHEW. >> WHY DID YOU LEAVE THAT SO LATE IN THE PROGRAM? 46:23 THAT'S A POWERFUL PASSAGE. >> THOSE ARE THE WORDS WE NEED TO RECEIVE. 46:27 WHEN WE RECEIVE THE WORDS WE RECEIVE GOD. >> THE SYSTEM SATAN IS SEEKING 46:32 TO DO IS TAKE US INTO CAPTIVITY, INTO BONDSAGE. HE TIES TO USE FEAR TO DO IT. 46:39 WHEN YOU BRACE CHRIST HE SAYS WAIT A MINUTE. I WANT TO DELIVER YOU FROM 46:47 FEAR. FEAR HAS BEEN THE VERY THING. ICIA 60, PROCLAIM LIBERTY. 46:54 THE OPENING OF THE PRISON TO THOSE WHO ARE BOUND. WE SEE THAT CONSTANTLY 47:01 REPRESENTED IN THE BIBLE. SAYING DON'T FEAR EARTHLY POWERS. 47:05 GOD WILL BE THE PRINCIPAL THAT IS UPON YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. 47:11 IF WE WANT TO GET RID OF FEAR, LOOK AT BIBLICAL STORIES. ONE OF THE STORIES THAT BRINGS 47:17 THIS TO LIFE IS DANIEL CHAPTER 3. YOU MENTIONED THIS EARLIER. 47:21 I THINK IT DESERVES A LITTLE MORE OF A LOOK. WE HAVE BEEN FINISHING UP A 47:26 SERIES IN SALVATION, SYMBOLS AND SIGNS IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL. 47:30 EXCITED ABOUT THAT SERIES. IT HAS 40 MEETINGS ON THE BOOK OF DANIEL. 47:35 72 ON REVELATION. THESE PRESENTATIONS ARE DONE IN A WAY LIKE A TABLETOP 47:42 SETTING. WE ARE NOT COVERING EVERY DETAIL. 47:44 BUT WE ARE TRYING TO COVER MOST OF THE VERSES. THEY CAN BE USED FOR STUDY 47:49 MATERIALS, BIBLE STUDIES. JUST DISCUSSION POINTS. 30 MINUTE MEETINGS. 47:54 WE FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THINGS COME OUT. WHEN YOU GET TWO OR THREE 48:00 PEOPLE TOGETHER. ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOUR MIND CLICKS ON SOMETHING. 48:04 "I NEVER SAW THAT BEFORE." WE HAD A LOT OF AH-HA MOMENTS LIKE THAT. 48:08 WE ARE NOT PREACHING TO OUR VIEWERS, WE ARE TALKING AMONGST EACH OTHER AND THEY 48:13 WATCH US HAVING THESE AH-HA MOMENTS. THEY CAN JOIN US IN THAT 48:20 EXPERIENCE. I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST WE CAN LOOK AT THIS STORY AND WE CAN 48:25 GAIN SOMETHING THAT CAUSES US TO JOIN THEM IN THIS EXPERIENCE. 48:31 I'LL PARAPHRASE WHAT IS TAKING PLACE HERE. I WANT TO LOOK AT KEY VERSES 48:39 HERE. NEBUCHADNEZZAR IS THE SYMBOL OF AN END CODE POWER. 48:47 THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND HER DAUGHTERS. THE COMPOSITE IS BABYLON. 48:54 WHAT HE IS DOING HERE IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE END TIME. HE MAKES AN IMAGE AND CAUSES 49:01 EVERYONE TO BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP. THERE ARE THREE PEOPLE WHO 49:05 WON'T BOW TO THE IMAGE. THEY KNOW THE SECOND COMMANDMENT FOR BIDS THEM TO 49:11 BOW DOWN TO IMAGES. THEY REFUSE TO EVEN PRETEND TO TIE THEIR SHOES. 49:24 THIS IS WHERE WE PICK UP THE STORY. THEY ARE BEING ACCUSED. 49:28 WE ARE IN VERSE 12. THERE CERTAIN JEWS WHO OVER THE AFFAIRS OF THE PROVINCE OF 49:37 BABYLON, THESE MEN HAVE NOT REGARDED THEE, NEITHER SERVE -- NOT REGARDED THEE, 49:44 THEY HAVE NOT SERVED THY GOD NOR WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE THOU SET UP. 49:51 THERE IS THE PRINCIPLE OF WORSHIP. NEBUCHADNEZZAR IN HIS RAGE AND 49:58 FURY COMMANDED THE THREE MEN AND THEY BROUGHT THEM BEFORE THE KING. 50:08 I WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE IS IMPORTANT IN RELATIONSHIP TO FEAR. 50:15 NEBUCHADNEZZAR MADE THE IMAGE OF GOLD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MADE OF FOUR DIFFERENT METALS. 50:21 THE LAST PART BEING A MIXTURE OF IRON AND CLAY. HE KNEW HE WOULD BE REPLACED. 50:27 HE WAS AFRAID OF BEING REPLACED. HE WAS AFRAID HIS KINGDOM 50:33 WOULD COME TO AN END. HE TRIED TO PRETEND HIS KINGDOM WASN'T COMING TO AN 50:39 END. HE MADE AN IMAGE ALL OF GOLD BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID. 50:42 ALL OF THE PEOPLE BOWED DOWN TO THE IMAGE OF GOLD BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID. 50:48 WHEN THEY HEARD THE MUSIC AND THEY REMEMBERED, HEY F WE DON'T BOW DOWN, WE'LL GO IN 50:55 THE FURNACE. WE'LL BOW DOWN. WHY DIDN'T THE THREE MEN BOW 51:00 DOWN? BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FEAR. >> THEY BELIEVE IN THE 51:04 COMMANDMENT OF GOD. THE BOTTOM LINE IS RIGHT ON TARGET. 51:08 THEY WEREN'T AFRAID. THEY HAD NO FEAR. >> IT WAS AMAZING WHEN YOU 51:15 READ THE STORY IN DETAIL. THEY SAID WE DON'T NEED TO IT TALK TO YOU CONCERNING THIS 51:22 MATTER. OH, KING, IS A LIEWTED HIM THE WAY -- SALUTED HIM THE WAY 51:28 THEY SHOULD. THE GOD WE SERVE IS ABLE TO DELIVER. 51:32 I LOVE THE ATTITUDE. EVEN IF HE DOESN'T. THAT IS SERIOUSLY A REMOVAL OF 51:40 FEAR. EVEN IF HE DOES NOT DELIVER US, OUR CONVICTION ARE 51:44 STRONGER THAN YOUR COMPLIANCE. >> HOW DID NEBUCHADNEZZAR REACT TO THAT. 51:52 >> HE WAS ENRAGED. >> I WOULD SUGGEST THIS. IT WASN'T SO MUCH BECAUSE THEY 51:59 WEREN'T WILLING TO COMPLY. HE WAS THE KING. HE CONQUERED THE WORLD. 52:03 THE REASON HE WAS UPSET, THEE THREE YOUNG MEN HAD SOMETHING HE DIDN'T HAVE. 52:08 HE MADE THE IMAGE ALL OF GOLD BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID. PEOPLE BOWED DOWN BECAUSE THEY 52:14 WERE AFRAID. THESE THREE YOUNG MEN WERE NOT AFRAID. 52:18 THEY HAD NO FEAR. ONE OF THE REASONS THEY HAD NO FEAR IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN 52:24 BROUGHT IN CAPTIVITY UNDER THE TUTORSHIP OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH. 52:34 EZEKIEL AND JEREMIAH WERE PREACHING INTO OR SPEAKING IN. THEY WERE ALIVE. 52:41 ISAIAH WAS PREDICTING IT. HE PROMPTED THEM, THOUGH YOU WALK THROUGH THE WATER, THEY 52:47 SHOULD NOT OVERFLOW. THE FIRE WON'T EVEN LINGER UPON YOU. 52:52 THEY TOOK THE WORD OF GOD. EVERY PROMISE, WHEREBY THE COMMANDMENT WAS FULFILLED. 53:03 HE RECEIVED THE VERY LIFE AND CHARACTER OF GOD. SO THEY WALKED IN THAT 53:08 FURNACE. THE MEN THAT THREW THEM IN THERE DIED AT THE DOOR. 53:13 THEY WALKED IN WITHOUT FEAR. JESUS CHRIST WAS MANIFEST WITH THEM. 53:18 THEY WERE FREE GOING IN. JESUS MADE SURE THOSE BYPASSEDDINGS CAME OFF TO 53:24 EXEMPLIFY, TO ILLUSTRATE THEY WERE FREE. THEY WERE NEVER BOUND. 53:31 THEY WERE FREE. WE ARE FREE AS LONG AS THAT FEAR ISN'T THERE. 53:40 >> I'M ASKING YOU THIS QUESTION, JAMES. YOU SAY THIS ISN'T ABOUT 53:45 WEARING OR NOT WEARING MASKS, BUT YOUR COMMENTS SEEM TO SAY THE OPPOSITE. 53:51 MASKS ARE MANDATED WHERE YOU CAN BUY OR SELL. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO GO 53:58 AGAINST LAW. GOD EVEN MADE A LAW TO QUARANTINES LEPERS. 54:02 WE ARE -- THIS FEELS SOME OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING CALLS PEOPLE TO QUESTION WEARING A 54:11 MASK. CLEAR THAT UP. >> I DO WANT TO CLEAR THAT UP. 54:16 QUARANTINE LEPERS. WE HAVE A HISTORY IN OUR WORLD, GOING BACK HUNDREDS OF 54:22 YEARS OF QUARANTINING SICK PEOPLE. I WANT TO MAKE THAT POINT 54:26 RIGHT THERE. I, MYSELF, WEAR A MASK. I COMPLY. 54:30 I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD COMPLY EVEN TO LAWS THAT TALK ABOUT WORSHIP, IF THEY DON'T 54:37 CONFLICT WITH OUR WORSHIP OF GOD. >> WE CAN DO BIBLE MEETINGS. 54:44 WE CAN DO BIBLE STUDIES IN THAT ATMOSPHERE. IF WE CAN DO THAT, WE CAN AT 54:50 LEAST WEAR MASKS. >> TRUE. I WANT TO CLEAR THAT UP. 54:54 THIS IS ABOUT SHOWING PEOPLE THAT THE VIABILITY OF THIS BIBLE PROPHECY IS LEGIT. 55:04 AS WE COME DOWN TO TWO MINUTES RAINING IN THE PROGRAM. SPEAK TO OUR AUDIENCE, FOR 55:10 THOSE GRIPPED WITH ANXIETY, WITH FEAR. THEY WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT DO 55:14 I NEED TO DO TO SURVIVE WHAT I AM ANTICIPATING OUT OF FEAR IS COMING. 55:21 >> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS I LIKE TO SHARE ALONG THESE LINES, COMING FROM THE 55:25 WORD OF GOD. OUR HOPE IS NOT IN THIS WORLD. WHEN SATAN CAME TO CHRIST AND 55:31 HE TEMPTED HIM, HE SHOWED HIM THE WORLD. HE SAID I'LL GIVE YOU ALL OF 55:36 THIS IF YOU BOW DOWN TO ME. JESUS SAID KNOW WAY. MOSES COULD HAVE BEEN A 55:43 PHARAOH IN EGYPT. HE TURNED AWAY AND CHOSE TO SUFFER PERSECUTION BECAUSE HE 55:48 HAD HIS EYE ON HIS REWARD. SAITDEN WANTS US TO THINK THIS WORLD IS WHERE OUR REWARD IS. 55:57 THIS IS NOT WHERE IT IS. THE BIBLE WANTS TO US GET OUR PIENDZ ON SOMETHING BETTER. 56:03 THE BOOK OF REVELATION DOESN'T END AT 13. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. 56:10 IT DOESN'T END IN CHAPTER 20. IT SENDS CHAPTER 21, 22. GOD IS TAKING US TO A NEW 56:17 HEAVEN AND EARTH. WE WANT TO MANUFACTURE THAT, WE CAN'T. 56:21 WE NEVER WILL BE ABLE TO DO THATTEN THAT IS GOD'S KINGDOM. WE CANNOT CREATE THAT. 56:27 GOD CREATES THAT. GET YOUR FOCUS ON THAT. >> THERE IS NO EARTHLY UTOPIA 56:33 THAT WILL LAST. DON'T ALLOW THE WORLD TO PRESSURE YOU. 56:38 HIS KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD. THERE IS A BETTER KINGDOM 56:44 COMING. PASTOR RAFFERTY, WE PRAY THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN A BLESSING, 56:47 TO FOCUS YOU AWAY FROM THE CRISIS OF THE HOUR TO THE CHRIST OF THE HOUR. 56:51 WE KNOW THE LORD CAN SUSTAIN US THROUGH ANYTHING. PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN 56:57 GOD SO THAT THE MASK OF THE BEAST WILL NOT BRING YOU FEAR. GOD BLESS YOU. 57:04 UNTIL WE SEE YOU AGAIN. |
