Welcome to another
3ABN Today live programming.
00:01:15.60\00:01:19.17
Thank you for joining us
00:01:19.21\00:01:20.88
as you do each and every day
00:01:20.91\00:01:22.51
and for your love and prayers
and financial support of 3ABN
00:01:22.54\00:01:26.31
as we endeavor,
00:01:26.35\00:01:27.68
as I always say to take
this great gospel of the kingdom
00:01:27.72\00:01:30.82
into all the world.
00:01:30.85\00:01:32.19
There's never been
a more exciting time
00:01:32.22\00:01:34.52
in earth's history, Yvonne,
00:01:34.56\00:01:36.22
to be sitting
right here where we are
00:01:36.26\00:01:39.29
as the human race looking
00:01:39.33\00:01:41.43
we've studied
history of prophecy
00:01:41.46\00:01:43.53
for a long time.
00:01:43.57\00:01:44.90
We can always look back,
00:01:44.93\00:01:46.27
but tonight we're gonna
do a great study on prophecy.
00:01:46.30\00:01:49.20
Yeah.
00:01:49.24\00:01:50.57
So maybe we should introduce,
I won't call them guests,
00:01:50.61\00:01:52.74
but our co-workers here today.
00:01:52.77\00:01:54.91
And we'll start with
Pastor John Lomacang.
00:01:54.94\00:01:57.58
Pastor Lomacang, you
are gonna be talking about,
00:01:57.61\00:01:59.91
and we don't need
the sermon right now.
00:01:59.95\00:02:01.58
We just wanna know what it is
00:02:01.62\00:02:03.52
we're gonna be
learning about tonight.
00:02:03.55\00:02:05.39
A very odd topic,
the mark of the beast.
00:02:05.42\00:02:08.96
Oh, wow.
00:02:08.99\00:02:10.33
Oh, exciting. Okay.
00:02:10.36\00:02:11.69
And I assume that we're gonna
learn a lot of things here,
00:02:11.73\00:02:15.40
because there is so much stuff.
00:02:15.43\00:02:17.17
If you don't believe it,
00:02:17.20\00:02:18.53
go on the internet and
look up mark of the beast.
00:02:18.57\00:02:21.37
You'll see some of
the weirdest things,
00:02:21.40\00:02:23.00
the things that came from,
00:02:23.04\00:02:24.91
I don't know
where people's mind,
00:02:24.94\00:02:27.01
but tonight what
we're gonna find out
00:02:27.04\00:02:29.08
is what the Bible has to say,
00:02:29.11\00:02:30.75
the truth about the mark
of the beast tonight, right?
00:02:30.78\00:02:33.82
Yes. That's gonna be awesome.
00:02:33.85\00:02:35.18
Okay. It's gonna be good.
00:02:35.22\00:02:36.55
You're looking
forward to this, I know.
00:02:36.58\00:02:37.92
I am.
00:02:37.95\00:02:39.29
I'm so excited because
anytime you get into the Word
00:02:39.32\00:02:41.82
and get the meat of
the Word, it's exciting.
00:02:41.86\00:02:44.13
Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:02:44.16\00:02:45.76
And speaking of that,
we got another pastor,
00:02:45.79\00:02:48.16
John, Johnny Dinzey.
00:02:48.20\00:02:49.63
Pastor John, it's good
to have you here tonight.
00:02:49.66\00:02:52.33
And you've got some great news
00:02:52.37\00:02:53.84
that you're gonna tell us about.
00:02:53.87\00:02:55.67
And of course we have
Greg and Jill Morikone,
00:02:55.70\00:02:59.07
and I'm just
gonna say the bosses,
00:02:59.11\00:03:01.34
they're the leaders,
00:03:01.38\00:03:02.71
they're the ones that we just do
00:03:02.74\00:03:04.08
what they tell us to do.
00:03:04.11\00:03:05.45
And so...
00:03:05.48\00:03:06.82
We're just part of the team.
00:03:06.85\00:03:08.18
There you are. Thank
you for your leadership.
00:03:08.22\00:03:10.22
It's been incredible.
00:03:10.25\00:03:11.59
The Lord handpicked you
guys to be right where you are.
00:03:11.62\00:03:13.86
It's fun.
00:03:13.89\00:03:15.22
And to be a
part of the ministry,
00:03:15.26\00:03:16.59
like you mentioned
00:03:16.62\00:03:17.96
in this time in earth's history,
00:03:17.99\00:03:19.33
I mean, what a privilege?
00:03:19.36\00:03:20.70
We all have to be a
part of spreading the gospel.
00:03:20.73\00:03:22.06
I could give
titles to everybody.
00:03:22.10\00:03:23.83
I could say Greg as president.
00:03:23.87\00:03:25.73
I could give
each and every title,
00:03:25.77\00:03:27.24
but when I go to Jill,
I'd have to do about 30,
00:03:27.27\00:03:30.07
as she does everything,
00:03:30.11\00:03:31.44
vice president, COO,
board member too, you name it.
00:03:31.47\00:03:35.28
I mean, Jill does it all.
00:03:35.31\00:03:37.21
So thank you for both
of you for what you do
00:03:37.25\00:03:40.98
for the cause of God.
00:03:41.02\00:03:42.35
And I know you have
to run in a few minutes
00:03:42.38\00:03:43.72
and a little bit.
00:03:43.75\00:03:45.09
We do.
00:03:45.12\00:03:46.45
So, but we've got
some exciting news
00:03:46.49\00:03:47.82
and Johnny has been
sharing with you all.
00:03:47.86\00:03:49.19
So we kind of
want you and Johnny to,
00:03:49.22\00:03:51.43
we're just gonna
listen in, folks,
00:03:51.46\00:03:53.06
as to what's brand new
things that are happening
00:03:53.09\00:03:56.03
in the great country of Cuba.
00:03:56.06\00:03:58.33
Amen.
00:03:58.37\00:03:59.70
Well, yeah, when Pastor Johnny,
he just came back from Cuba
00:03:59.73\00:04:01.87
and we'll let you
share some of those details.
00:04:01.90\00:04:03.71
But, of course, this
project in Cuba is phenomenal.
00:04:03.74\00:04:06.04
You know, God
has opened this door.
00:04:06.07\00:04:07.71
And as you mentioned,
Mr. Danny, and Pastor Johnny,
00:04:07.74\00:04:09.98
if 3ABN doesn't go
through this open door,
00:04:10.01\00:04:11.58
somebody else will.
00:04:11.61\00:04:12.95
All right.
00:04:12.98\00:04:14.32
So, you know, we
stepped out by faith
00:04:14.35\00:04:15.68
and of course you at home
have just caught the vision
00:04:15.72\00:04:18.35
and are supporting this project,
00:04:18.39\00:04:19.72
which is so encouraging for us.
00:04:19.75\00:04:21.52
And when you came
back, you said, okay,
00:04:21.56\00:04:23.79
I've got some
exciting things to tell you.
00:04:23.83\00:04:25.66
So Jill and I blocked a
little bit of time and wow,
00:04:25.69\00:04:28.53
miracles are happening in Cuba.
00:04:28.56\00:04:29.90
Amen.
00:04:29.93\00:04:31.27
I don't know what
stories you want to talk about
00:04:31.30\00:04:32.63
Pastor Johnny, but I
know you've given an update.
00:04:32.67\00:04:34.00
Well, is this the time?
00:04:34.04\00:04:35.37
This is the time. This is it.
00:04:35.40\00:04:37.04
You're in the hot seat now.
00:04:37.07\00:04:38.74
Well, it's really remarkable
00:04:38.77\00:04:43.38
how God works,
00:04:43.41\00:04:44.91
I have to tell you.
00:04:44.95\00:04:46.72
Last year we went to Cuba
to find out about the package.
00:04:46.75\00:04:52.12
What is the package for
those maybe that are tuning in?
00:04:52.15\00:04:54.42
The package is the...
00:04:54.46\00:04:55.86
That's what
they call it in Cuba.
00:04:55.89\00:04:57.43
The package is
television programming
00:04:57.46\00:05:01.46
that includes
soap operas are huge,
00:05:01.50\00:05:05.33
huge in the Spanish
culture, soap operas,
00:05:05.37\00:05:08.74
comedies, even movies
and children's programming.
00:05:08.77\00:05:12.77
So every week...
00:05:12.81\00:05:14.14
All secular programs.
00:05:14.18\00:05:15.51
All secular programming,
all secular entertainment.
00:05:15.54\00:05:19.21
So every week people
go to a sale, a center,
00:05:19.25\00:05:24.35
a distribution center to
buy the week of programming.
00:05:24.39\00:05:28.62
Now, why are they doing this?
00:05:28.66\00:05:29.99
Because cable TV
does not exist in Cuba.
00:05:30.03\00:05:33.43
So there is limited programming
00:05:33.46\00:05:37.07
on three government channels,
00:05:37.10\00:05:39.83
they have news and
they have some shows
00:05:39.87\00:05:41.57
and things like that.
00:05:41.60\00:05:43.30
But people want more.
00:05:43.34\00:05:45.51
So the package is
the way to get it.
00:05:45.54\00:05:49.34
So also I must say that
00:05:49.38\00:05:51.21
today, you know, here in
the US and other countries,
00:05:51.25\00:05:53.88
internet is not too expensive.
00:05:53.92\00:05:57.49
Most people can get internet
00:05:57.52\00:05:58.85
and some people get it for free,
00:05:58.89\00:06:00.36
but over there,
you have to pay for it.
00:06:00.39\00:06:02.39
And it's not always available
00:06:02.42\00:06:04.36
and sometimes issues
with speed like we have here.
00:06:04.39\00:06:08.10
You know, we have
issues with speed here.
00:06:08.13\00:06:09.83
So streaming is very expensive.
00:06:09.86\00:06:12.70
So the cheapest way for
people to get new programming
00:06:12.73\00:06:17.31
is to go out
and buy the package.
00:06:17.34\00:06:18.97
And there are some
people that go from door to door
00:06:19.01\00:06:20.71
and they,
00:06:20.74\00:06:22.08
"Hey, you want the
package for this week."
00:06:22.11\00:06:23.48
And it's very inexpensive.
00:06:23.51\00:06:26.01
I bought the
whole package last year
00:06:26.05\00:06:28.42
for less than a dollar.
00:06:28.45\00:06:29.82
Oh, wow.
00:06:29.85\00:06:31.52
Economy, inflation.
00:06:31.55\00:06:33.76
I paid a little more
than a dollar this time.
00:06:33.79\00:06:36.26
Wow.
00:06:36.29\00:06:37.63
But I'm talking
about what they call it
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.36
a one terabyte of programming.
00:06:39.39\00:06:42.33
And you're talking
about hours and hours.
00:06:42.36\00:06:44.70
You can literally sit there
for days watching and watching.
00:06:44.73\00:06:49.34
You won't be able to see
the whole thing in one week.
00:06:49.37\00:06:52.21
So they give
people a lot of options,
00:06:52.24\00:06:54.78
you could, you don't
have to buy the whole package.
00:06:54.81\00:06:56.64
You can pay less,
00:06:56.68\00:06:58.31
you can pay 25 cents and get,
you know, just certain things.
00:06:58.35\00:07:02.55
So the idea, Chaplain
Hernel came up with this idea,
00:07:02.58\00:07:06.92
the Lord put it in his heart,
00:07:06.96\00:07:08.36
hey, this is a way to
bring the gospel to people.
00:07:08.39\00:07:10.83
Yeah.
00:07:10.86\00:07:12.19
So he talked to a lot of people.
00:07:12.23\00:07:14.76
He went there
00:07:14.80\00:07:16.13
and eventually he
came to us and say,
00:07:16.16\00:07:17.93
"Do you wanna
participate in the package
00:07:17.97\00:07:19.63
with 3ABN Latino programming?"
00:07:19.67\00:07:22.17
And he talked to me about it.
00:07:22.20\00:07:24.34
Okay. I understand that.
00:07:24.37\00:07:25.71
Yes, we are
willing to participate.
00:07:25.74\00:07:27.48
Eventually, this grew
into the possibility of 3ABN
00:07:27.51\00:07:31.38
being the what's
on the Christian pack,
00:07:31.41\00:07:35.38
on the Christian folder.
00:07:35.42\00:07:36.79
There's a folder
00:07:36.82\00:07:38.15
for these
different types of things,
00:07:38.19\00:07:39.55
because what you do,
what the people do is
00:07:39.59\00:07:41.52
they bring their hard
drive or they bring a memory
00:07:41.56\00:07:44.89
and they buy the package
00:07:44.93\00:07:46.26
and then they go home,
00:07:46.29\00:07:47.63
put it on their TV
or on their computer,
00:07:47.66\00:07:49.00
then they watch this
thing at their own leisure.
00:07:49.03\00:07:51.93
So last year we went,
we brought our programming,
00:07:51.97\00:07:56.64
talked to the
council of churches
00:07:56.67\00:07:58.47
and about the possibility
and March of last year,
00:07:58.51\00:08:04.21
we heard the
airports are gonna close,
00:08:04.25\00:08:06.28
COVID-19.
00:08:06.31\00:08:07.65
And we say, what?
00:08:07.68\00:08:09.02
We had other, two other,
two or three other meetings
00:08:09.05\00:08:11.39
where we're supposed
to meet with the union
00:08:11.42\00:08:13.89
of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:08:13.92\00:08:15.42
We were supposed to
have another meeting
00:08:15.46\00:08:16.79
with the Council of Churches.
00:08:16.83\00:08:18.16
Several things were in
line for another three days,
00:08:18.19\00:08:20.90
but we had to leave
then very, we heard at night,
00:08:20.93\00:08:23.40
8 o'clock at night.
00:08:23.43\00:08:24.77
So about five in the morning,
00:08:24.80\00:08:26.43
the next day we
were at the airport
00:08:26.47\00:08:27.80
trying to get a ticket out.
00:08:27.84\00:08:29.27
So we left.
00:08:29.30\00:08:30.64
And so things
kind of went on hold
00:08:30.67\00:08:32.71
and we were not able
to get on the package
00:08:32.74\00:08:34.81
because since the
airports are closed,
00:08:34.84\00:08:37.45
you couldn't come in.
00:08:37.48\00:08:38.81
And right now
00:08:38.85\00:08:40.18
there is no
package delivery system
00:08:40.22\00:08:43.62
from the US to Cuba.
00:08:43.65\00:08:45.89
You couldn't send anything.
You couldn't even get there.
00:08:45.92\00:08:48.49
We had to bring the
hard drive in person.
00:08:48.52\00:08:49.89
We had to bring the
hard drive in person.
00:08:49.92\00:08:51.66
So if we fast forward
through the year of COVID.
00:08:51.69\00:08:54.10
Yes.
00:08:54.13\00:08:55.46
When we weren't able
to actually get there.
00:08:55.50\00:08:57.47
That's right.
00:08:57.50\00:08:58.83
But then you just
returned from Cuba,
00:08:58.87\00:09:00.20
you and Chaplain Hernel.
00:09:00.24\00:09:01.80
And you had some
incredible meetings.
00:09:01.84\00:09:04.14
So tell us about that?
00:09:04.17\00:09:05.51
And the cost
for the package now?
00:09:05.54\00:09:07.28
After our plane tickets,
00:09:07.31\00:09:10.08
we actually literally
separated plane tickets.
00:09:10.11\00:09:12.98
I had three flights canceled,
00:09:13.01\00:09:15.52
Chaplain Hernel had
two flights canceled
00:09:15.55\00:09:17.75
and he found another way.
00:09:17.79\00:09:19.95
He found that there
was a charter flight.
00:09:19.99\00:09:23.86
So that's how we got there.
00:09:23.89\00:09:25.99
And I won't tell you
about a lot of things
00:09:26.03\00:09:28.36
about what is it,
00:09:28.40\00:09:30.03
quarantine and all
that that happened.
00:09:30.07\00:09:31.73
Let's go to the,
right to the meeting.
00:09:31.77\00:09:34.30
We were waiting.
00:09:34.34\00:09:35.67
See the programming, the
Council of Churches says,
00:09:35.70\00:09:37.97
this is exquisite programming.
00:09:38.01\00:09:41.21
Everything is
approved from our end,
00:09:41.24\00:09:43.41
but we still needed
00:09:43.45\00:09:45.11
the approval of
the administration
00:09:45.15\00:09:47.32
of the package,
00:09:47.35\00:09:48.68
the matrix.
00:09:48.72\00:09:50.05
And they were able
to contact the matrix.
00:09:50.09\00:09:52.29
They had a phone number.
00:09:52.32\00:09:53.66
And so...
00:09:53.69\00:09:55.02
It's an interesting
name. Isn't it, the matrix?
00:09:55.06\00:09:56.39
The matrix.
00:09:56.42\00:09:57.76
That's what they call it.
00:09:57.79\00:09:59.13
Those are the top
leaders of the package.
00:09:59.16\00:10:00.50
But they're actually hard people
00:10:00.53\00:10:01.86
to actually get a hold
of them to meet one on one.
00:10:01.90\00:10:03.23
Right. Oh, yes.
00:10:03.26\00:10:04.60
So they were able
to get a hold of them.
00:10:04.63\00:10:05.97
And they said, you know,
00:10:06.00\00:10:07.34
we have a package of
religious programming
00:10:07.37\00:10:08.70
that we have approved.
00:10:08.74\00:10:10.07
And so we need a price.
00:10:10.11\00:10:11.44
How much does it cost per month?
00:10:11.47\00:10:12.81
And so we received the
price of $2,960 last year.
00:10:12.84\00:10:16.04
That's what we
heard, but we're trying to,
00:10:16.08\00:10:17.71
hey, can you bring that
down a little bit, you know?
00:10:17.75\00:10:20.02
So we were
waiting for a phone call
00:10:20.05\00:10:22.92
and the phone call never came.
00:10:22.95\00:10:25.19
And so they literally
lost contact with them.
00:10:25.22\00:10:28.56
And we don't know what
happened if COVID was the issue,
00:10:28.59\00:10:31.59
but we, they would,
00:10:31.63\00:10:32.96
they couldn't get
any message to them.
00:10:32.99\00:10:34.53
And they wouldn't call
us back or call them back.
00:10:34.56\00:10:37.07
So the package, the people
who oversee the package...
00:10:37.10\00:10:38.87
The matrix.
00:10:38.90\00:10:40.24
The matrix, we
lost contact with them,
00:10:40.27\00:10:41.60
and we were not able to connect.
00:10:41.64\00:10:43.07
So now we...
00:10:43.10\00:10:44.74
Chaplain Hernel
had like two days left
00:10:44.77\00:10:47.48
and we're waiting
for this phone call.
00:10:47.51\00:10:48.84
And I said,
00:10:48.88\00:10:50.21
"Pastor Hernel, we
need to get answers
00:10:50.25\00:10:51.58
before we leave here."
00:10:51.61\00:10:52.95
And so we started praying.
00:10:52.98\00:10:54.32
Lord would lead
us to the package.
00:10:54.35\00:10:55.68
So we decided to visit places
00:10:55.72\00:10:57.29
where they sell
the package to say,
00:10:57.32\00:10:59.32
hey, where do you get
this programming from?
00:10:59.35\00:11:02.09
Do you have
access to the top people?
00:11:02.12\00:11:04.46
So we made a
list of places to go
00:11:04.49\00:11:07.10
and we were in Havana, Cuba.
00:11:07.13\00:11:08.76
And we go to the first
one and the person said,
00:11:08.80\00:11:11.50
"Oh, no, I just work here."
00:11:11.53\00:11:12.87
You know, you get that,
00:11:12.90\00:11:14.24
"Oh, I just work here. I
don't have that information.
00:11:14.27\00:11:15.60
Or my boss will be back later."
00:11:15.64\00:11:17.54
We go to the next one.
00:11:17.57\00:11:19.37
And when we go to the next one,
00:11:19.41\00:11:20.74
we hear things that
we say, wait a minute,
00:11:20.78\00:11:24.08
is the Lord
bringing a miracle here?
00:11:24.11\00:11:26.21
Yes.
00:11:26.25\00:11:27.58
The very second
place we went to,
00:11:27.62\00:11:30.55
we found somebody
at the matrix level...
00:11:30.59\00:11:33.46
Thank you, Jesus.
00:11:33.49\00:11:35.02
Of the potentially 50 to
a 100 places you could go,
00:11:35.06\00:11:39.49
the second one, the second.
00:11:39.53\00:11:41.66
This is a miracle to me
00:11:41.70\00:11:43.03
'cause we didn't
know these people.
00:11:43.06\00:11:44.57
Yeah, one of the top leaders...
00:11:44.60\00:11:45.93
One of the top
leaders of the matrix.
00:11:45.97\00:11:47.30
Was right there
in the little shop,
00:11:47.34\00:11:48.67
just kind of just sitting there.
00:11:48.70\00:11:50.04
And you don't
really know if he is,
00:11:50.07\00:11:51.41
but you found out
he was the leader.
00:11:51.44\00:11:52.77
So we talked to him
about what we wanna do.
00:11:52.81\00:11:54.91
And he said, "Yes, we
need to see your programming."
00:11:54.94\00:11:57.81
And we had given our programming
00:11:57.85\00:11:59.18
to the Council of Churches.
00:11:59.21\00:12:00.55
Next day, we got it.
00:12:00.58\00:12:01.92
We had a
meeting with this person
00:12:01.95\00:12:03.49
and we gave him the hard drive.
00:12:03.52\00:12:05.65
We're gonna take a look at
this and we'll get back to you.
00:12:05.69\00:12:08.82
And so Chaplain
Hernel was able to leave
00:12:08.86\00:12:11.89
with the answer
that we were looking for.
00:12:11.93\00:12:14.30
You know, we'll get back to you.
00:12:14.33\00:12:15.66
And so this is what...
00:12:15.70\00:12:18.80
Three days later,
this is the message we got.
00:12:18.83\00:12:21.97
The programming is phenomenal.
00:12:22.00\00:12:24.34
I am very happy.
00:12:24.37\00:12:26.41
My colleagues are
looking at the programming now,
00:12:26.44\00:12:29.84
but he was already happy.
00:12:29.88\00:12:31.21
He was... It was phenomenal.
00:12:31.25\00:12:32.58
He told me,
"This is phenomenal."
00:12:32.61\00:12:34.02
And so now I'm ready
to tell you the price
00:12:34.05\00:12:38.35
and the starting date
00:12:38.39\00:12:39.72
for 3ABN Latino
programming to get it.
00:12:39.75\00:12:41.59
So after prayer
and their meetings,
00:12:41.62\00:12:46.23
the Lord blessed
that from $2,960,
00:12:46.26\00:12:49.46
it is now $1,200 a month.
00:12:49.50\00:12:52.97
Thank you
Jesus. Praise the Lord.
00:12:53.00\00:12:54.70
More than half
lost. More than half lost.
00:12:54.74\00:12:56.71
So we are
praising the Lord for this.
00:12:56.74\00:12:58.81
And he said,
00:12:58.84\00:13:00.78
"The starting date we
can give you is June 15."
00:13:00.81\00:13:04.61
June 15.
00:13:04.65\00:13:06.15
Okay, you got that thing.
00:13:06.18\00:13:07.82
Tell us again, how many people
were able to get this in Cuba?
00:13:07.85\00:13:11.62
That's a great question.
00:13:11.65\00:13:12.99
And I'm sure our
viewers have the same question.
00:13:13.02\00:13:15.09
They have a,
00:13:15.12\00:13:17.93
and, a very
well organized system
00:13:17.96\00:13:21.63
of getting to
every single city in Cuba
00:13:21.66\00:13:25.10
when they released
this within two days,
00:13:25.13\00:13:27.84
two or three days,
00:13:27.87\00:13:29.20
it's all over the country.
00:13:29.24\00:13:30.57
Wow.
00:13:30.61\00:13:31.94
And so, this is an opportunity
00:13:31.97\00:13:33.84
that is a God thing.
00:13:33.88\00:13:37.85
God has done this.
00:13:37.88\00:13:39.21
People receive the
regular television program
00:13:39.25\00:13:42.28
that they get.
00:13:42.32\00:13:43.79
Now 3ABN is gonna be on it.
00:13:43.82\00:13:45.75
3ABN is gonna be on it.
00:13:45.79\00:13:47.12
How many hours a day?
00:13:47.16\00:13:49.06
It's not hours a day.
00:13:49.09\00:13:50.73
We are allowed a certain amount.
00:13:50.76\00:13:52.63
Yes.
00:13:52.66\00:13:54.00
So the amount we're
able to put there is
00:13:54.03\00:13:57.43
over 12 hours of programming.
00:13:57.47\00:13:59.10
Okay.
00:13:59.13\00:14:00.47
Twelve to 15
hours of programming
00:14:00.50\00:14:01.84
that they can
watch during that week.
00:14:01.87\00:14:04.24
And then a new
program in the next week,
00:14:04.27\00:14:06.04
a new program in the next week.
00:14:06.07\00:14:07.61
Every week they can
get new programming.
00:14:07.64\00:14:09.61
Every week.
00:14:09.64\00:14:10.98
About 12 hours or so of
new programming every week.
00:14:11.01\00:14:14.58
That is incredible in Cuba.
00:14:14.62\00:14:17.09
Yes, in Cuba.
00:14:17.12\00:14:18.45
Eleven million people in
Cuba. Eleven million people.
00:14:18.49\00:14:19.82
Eleven million people
in Cuba. That's right.
00:14:19.85\00:14:21.62
And so not only
that we're able to put,
00:14:21.66\00:14:23.59
yes, praise the Lord.
00:14:23.63\00:14:25.06
This is June 15.
00:14:25.09\00:14:26.80
Yes, it's right away,
just around the corner.
00:14:26.83\00:14:29.26
Amen. Yeah, very exciting.
00:14:29.30\00:14:30.63
Not only that we're
able to put Bible studies
00:14:30.67\00:14:34.90
and booklets and books...
00:14:34.94\00:14:37.34
That they can download.
00:14:37.37\00:14:38.71
They can right
here have access to it
00:14:38.74\00:14:40.48
and start reading God's message.
00:14:40.51\00:14:42.74
It's amazing. Amen.
00:14:42.78\00:14:44.41
It's a miracle. It is a miracle.
00:14:44.45\00:14:46.18
You know 'cause at times
00:14:46.21\00:14:47.55
when you've had
this with Russia too,
00:14:47.58\00:14:48.92
it's like, whoa, we're
coming up against the wall.
00:14:48.95\00:14:50.29
Now, what could we
kind of lost some contact
00:14:50.32\00:14:51.75
and then boom,
second place to go to.
00:14:51.79\00:14:53.46
There's one of the main leaders.
00:14:53.49\00:14:54.82
And that's what we
needed to talk to right there.
00:14:54.86\00:14:57.03
That is a God thing.
00:14:57.06\00:14:58.53
That is amazing. Yes, it is.
00:14:58.56\00:15:00.53
It is a miracle to me
00:15:00.56\00:15:01.96
and Chaplain Hernel, you know,
00:15:02.00\00:15:03.50
he says, this is
so exciting for me.
00:15:03.53\00:15:06.94
The Lord has
given me the privilege
00:15:06.97\00:15:08.40
to be a part of bringing
the gospel all over Cuba
00:15:08.44\00:15:12.01
to bring the
loud cry to my people,
00:15:12.04\00:15:14.61
'cause he is from Cuba.
00:15:14.64\00:15:15.98
He was born in Cuba. Yeah.
00:15:16.01\00:15:17.35
And he's doing an
amazing job as well.
00:15:17.38\00:15:19.18
Just so grateful for him
00:15:19.21\00:15:20.55
and what he's
doing there in Cuba.
00:15:20.58\00:15:21.92
So, and for you
and your leadership
00:15:21.95\00:15:23.72
over Cuba as well.
00:15:23.75\00:15:25.09
So praise the
Lord. That is exciting.
00:15:25.12\00:15:26.45
Amen. Exciting times, Mr. Danny.
00:15:26.49\00:15:27.82
It is very
exciting. It is, it is.
00:15:27.86\00:15:29.59
Be living in the closing moments
00:15:29.62\00:15:31.36
of earth's history.
00:15:31.39\00:15:32.73
And right now I know Mr.
Danny and Yvonne are hosting,
00:15:32.76\00:15:35.53
but we're going
to take a right turn.
00:15:35.56\00:15:37.17
We are on purpose.
00:15:37.20\00:15:39.87
Next week is Mr.
Danny Shelton's birthday.
00:15:39.90\00:15:42.10
And I think, he
turns, can we say this?
00:15:42.14\00:15:46.84
He's turned 70.
00:15:46.88\00:15:48.34
Seventy years
old? Oh, that's young.
00:15:48.38\00:15:49.74
That's young.
00:15:49.78\00:15:51.45
I have no idea if it is young.
00:15:51.48\00:15:53.01
I worked out.
00:15:53.05\00:15:54.45
So threescore and ten.
00:15:54.48\00:15:56.35
Threescore and ten.
00:15:56.38\00:15:57.79
That's good and bad
00:15:57.82\00:15:59.15
when you look at
the Bible lot of times,
00:15:59.19\00:16:00.59
it talks about
threescore and ten.
00:16:00.62\00:16:02.52
Okay, yeah, but we're praying
00:16:02.56\00:16:03.89
for many more happy,
healthy years ahead of you
00:16:03.93\00:16:06.06
because God's not
done with you yet.
00:16:06.09\00:16:07.56
Yes. All right.
00:16:07.60\00:16:08.93
And if He is,
it's just short time
00:16:08.96\00:16:10.63
to the second coming anyway.
00:16:10.67\00:16:12.23
So, you know...
00:16:12.27\00:16:13.87
And so everyone here
at the ministry of 3ABN,
00:16:13.90\00:16:16.71
we love you.
00:16:16.74\00:16:18.07
And we're so grateful
00:16:18.11\00:16:19.44
that God called you
to begin this ministry.
00:16:19.47\00:16:21.88
Your precious wife
00:16:21.91\00:16:24.38
did some work behind the scenes.
00:16:24.41\00:16:26.72
That's right.
00:16:26.75\00:16:28.08
And Brad Walker
00:16:28.12\00:16:30.39
and Valerie have put
together an amazing roll.
00:16:30.42\00:16:32.99
This is from
some ministry leaders,
00:16:33.02\00:16:35.26
from some different ministries
00:16:35.29\00:16:36.62
that wanted to wish
you a happy 70th birthday.
00:16:36.66\00:16:40.16
We have some other
from some of the 3ABN family
00:16:40.20\00:16:42.26
that will be shown
at a different time.
00:16:42.30\00:16:43.73
But right now...
00:16:43.77\00:16:45.10
Yeah 'cause the roll
is, there's a lot of people.
00:16:45.13\00:16:47.14
There's a lot of people
00:16:47.17\00:16:48.50
but we have a special roll
we want to go to right now.
00:16:48.54\00:16:51.21
So happy birthday and a
surprise happy birthday.
00:16:51.24\00:16:52.94
Thanks to your dear wife.
00:16:52.97\00:16:54.31
This is a surprise.
00:16:54.34\00:16:55.68
I know.
00:16:55.71\00:16:57.38
I had no idea.
00:16:57.41\00:16:59.55
So let's go to
that roll right now
00:16:59.58\00:17:01.55
for Mr. Danny's 70th birthday.
00:17:01.58\00:17:04.35
Happy birthday
my precious husband.
00:17:04.39\00:17:07.52
It's no easy
feat, surprising you,
00:17:07.56\00:17:09.69
but I think we've done it.
00:17:09.72\00:17:11.63
This is your special day.
00:17:11.66\00:17:12.99
And there's so many people
00:17:13.03\00:17:14.36
whose lives you've
touched over the years,
00:17:14.40\00:17:16.60
who just wanna wish
you a happy birthday.
00:17:16.63\00:17:19.40
So sit back and enjoy.
00:17:19.43\00:17:21.30
Happy birthday, Danny.
00:17:29.24\00:17:30.98
What a blessing to be part
of God's last day movement,
00:17:31.01\00:17:34.45
to be able to share God's Word
00:17:34.48\00:17:36.79
and to receive
new life every day
00:17:36.82\00:17:39.99
and now a new year of life.
00:17:40.02\00:17:43.99
Thank you, Danny, to
you and the 3ABN team
00:17:44.03\00:17:47.36
for what you have
done to lift up Jesus,
00:17:47.40\00:17:50.97
to lift up His Word,
00:17:51.00\00:17:53.03
to lift up His
sanctuary service,
00:17:53.07\00:17:55.17
to lift up His
three angels messages
00:17:55.20\00:17:58.21
and Christ's soon coming.
00:17:58.24\00:18:01.88
You know, 3ABN is
Three Angels Broadcasting,
00:18:01.91\00:18:07.05
and we are with you in
that great proclamation,
00:18:07.08\00:18:10.89
but I wanna wish you
a happy birthday again.
00:18:10.92\00:18:14.02
And I wanna give you a promise
00:18:14.06\00:18:15.96
from the Book of
Philippians 4:19,
00:18:15.99\00:18:20.36
because each of
us faces challenges
00:18:20.40\00:18:22.53
as we head into these
last days of earth's history,
00:18:22.56\00:18:25.63
but it says,
00:18:25.67\00:18:27.00
"And my God shall
supply all your need
00:18:27.04\00:18:30.47
according to His riches in glory
00:18:30.51\00:18:35.08
by Christ Jesus."
00:18:35.11\00:18:39.18
Danny, thank you for
your strong commitment
00:18:39.21\00:18:43.52
to sharing God's Word,
00:18:43.55\00:18:45.82
to bring loyal, exciting,
00:18:45.85\00:18:49.79
wonderful news to people
00:18:49.82\00:18:52.46
about God's precious
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:18:52.49\00:18:55.76
and His truth.
00:18:55.80\00:18:58.03
Let me pray with you.
00:18:58.07\00:18:59.73
Father in heaven,
thank you for Danny
00:18:59.77\00:19:01.97
and for his commitment to you.
00:19:02.00\00:19:04.44
Thank you for 3ABN
00:19:04.47\00:19:06.81
and what it has
meant to so many people
00:19:06.84\00:19:09.11
and helping individuals
find true meaning in life.
00:19:09.14\00:19:14.22
And most of all,
00:19:14.25\00:19:15.72
finding the source of
all life, Jesus Christ.
00:19:15.75\00:19:19.62
Bless Danny as he now
enters into his 71st year
00:19:19.65\00:19:24.53
celebrating his 70th birthday.
00:19:24.56\00:19:27.50
Lord bless him and his family.
00:19:27.53\00:19:31.13
And each of those at 3ABN.
00:19:31.17\00:19:34.40
And we thank you for hearing us.
00:19:34.44\00:19:36.91
In Jesus name we ask it.
00:19:36.94\00:19:39.24
Amen.
00:19:39.27\00:19:42.81
Happy birthday day, Mr. Danny.
00:19:42.84\00:19:45.68
Happy 70th
birthday to you, Mr. Danny.
00:19:45.71\00:19:48.12
Thank you again
00:19:48.15\00:19:49.48
for the
mentorship through the years.
00:19:49.52\00:19:52.02
I remember when I first arrived
at 3ABN over 20 years ago,
00:19:52.05\00:19:56.09
I felt like
you've kind of taken me
00:19:56.12\00:19:57.53
under your wing.
00:19:57.56\00:19:58.93
And I just appreciate, again,
00:19:58.96\00:20:00.30
like I
mentioned, your mentorship,
00:20:00.33\00:20:02.16
your friendship,
00:20:02.20\00:20:03.53
I consider you
like another dad to me.
00:20:03.57\00:20:06.47
And I just appreciate
all your words of wisdom
00:20:06.50\00:20:09.40
as Miss Mollie
Steenson would always say,
00:20:09.44\00:20:12.07
Danny Shelton
will pour into you.
00:20:12.11\00:20:14.08
And so thank you so
much for your walk of faith,
00:20:14.11\00:20:16.64
for encouraging Jill and myself
00:20:16.68\00:20:18.91
to just stay true to the mark
00:20:18.95\00:20:20.92
that God has
given you in His Word,
00:20:20.95\00:20:23.08
the Bible and
everything else will work out.
00:20:23.12\00:20:25.75
Thank you for your
vision for the ministry of 3ABN.
00:20:25.79\00:20:28.69
I know that at times, things
have not always been easy,
00:20:28.72\00:20:31.69
but I don't know that
I've ever seen you down.
00:20:31.73\00:20:34.36
God has just given you
incredible wisdom, optimism.
00:20:34.40\00:20:37.57
And I know that comes from God.
00:20:37.60\00:20:39.37
So thank you for
always standing true
00:20:39.40\00:20:41.64
to the Word of God,
00:20:41.67\00:20:43.00
no matter what
other people think
00:20:43.04\00:20:44.37
you've always
based your decisions
00:20:44.41\00:20:46.27
on principles as he always says,
00:20:46.31\00:20:47.98
and on the Bible.
00:20:48.01\00:20:49.61
We love you so very much.
00:20:49.64\00:20:50.98
And again, thank
you for your mentorship.
00:20:51.01\00:20:52.38
And we pray for many
more happy, healthy years
00:20:52.41\00:20:55.48
ahead of you.
00:20:55.52\00:20:56.85
We're just so grateful.
00:20:56.89\00:20:58.22
I just wanna add
a couple of words
00:20:58.25\00:20:59.59
to what Greg just said.
00:20:59.62\00:21:00.96
As I think of you,
00:21:00.99\00:21:04.13
the difference
that you have made
00:21:04.16\00:21:06.59
in this world,
00:21:06.63\00:21:08.86
the people who
have come to know Jesus,
00:21:08.90\00:21:11.63
the people who are
baptized Seventh-day Adventist
00:21:11.67\00:21:14.37
who discovered the
truth of the Sabbath
00:21:14.40\00:21:16.40
or the state of the dead,
00:21:16.44\00:21:17.77
or who found
Jesus for themselves,
00:21:17.81\00:21:20.21
because one man was faithful
00:21:20.24\00:21:23.18
to what God
called him to you to do.
00:21:23.21\00:21:25.91
And that man is you.
00:21:25.95\00:21:27.38
When I think of you,
four words come to mind,
00:21:27.42\00:21:29.62
that would be integrity, vision,
00:21:29.65\00:21:32.89
wisdom, and common sense.
00:21:32.92\00:21:36.32
That's true.
Maybe I could say five.
00:21:36.36\00:21:37.76
I think the
fifth would be faith.
00:21:37.79\00:21:39.13
Yes.
00:21:39.16\00:21:40.50
Without your faith,
00:21:40.53\00:21:41.86
without your vision to
build a television station
00:21:41.90\00:21:45.00
that would reach the world
00:21:45.03\00:21:46.37
with the undiluted
three angels' messages,
00:21:46.40\00:21:49.27
one that would
counteract the counterfeit,
00:21:49.30\00:21:50.94
none of us would be here.
00:21:50.97\00:21:52.31
That's true.
00:21:52.34\00:21:53.68
Without your faith to
see that vision through,
00:21:53.71\00:21:56.78
without your integrity,
00:21:56.81\00:21:58.55
no matter what anyone else said,
00:21:58.58\00:22:00.35
no matter what anyone else did.
00:22:00.38\00:22:02.28
You always made
decisions based on principles.
00:22:02.32\00:22:04.99
That's right.
Greg and I love you.
00:22:05.02\00:22:06.65
And, Yvonne, we're so
grateful for your mentorship.
00:22:06.69\00:22:10.29
We're grateful for your
wisdom, for your common sense.
00:22:10.33\00:22:14.40
And just for
believing in two kids here
00:22:14.43\00:22:17.57
and believing in
00:22:17.60\00:22:18.93
what God can do
in and through us,
00:22:18.97\00:22:21.00
what God can do in and through
00:22:21.04\00:22:22.74
those in the ministry here.
00:22:22.77\00:22:24.54
I think of the
scripture you always use,
00:22:24.57\00:22:26.68
"Now unto Him that is able
to do exceedingly, abundantly
00:22:26.71\00:22:30.91
above all that we ask or think."
00:22:30.95\00:22:33.55
So we just love you.
Wish you happy birthday.
00:22:33.58\00:22:35.65
Happy birthday to
you Happy birthday to you
00:22:38.75\00:22:43.99
Happy birthday, dear Danny
00:22:44.03\00:22:49.53
Happy birthday to you
00:22:49.56\00:22:53.30
Happy birthday Danny!
00:22:57.61\00:22:59.47
Oh, my goodness. What a
day? What a celebration?
00:22:59.51\00:23:02.14
We're so happy to
celebrate with you today.
00:23:02.18\00:23:04.31
Hope you're having a
great day. Absolutely.
00:23:04.35\00:23:06.28
Danny, we love you.
00:23:06.31\00:23:07.85
You're like my brother, truly.
00:23:07.88\00:23:09.42
I tell people all the
time, he's my brother.
00:23:09.45\00:23:11.72
And we're just family
from different mothers.
00:23:11.75\00:23:15.22
That's exactly
what we are for sure.
00:23:15.26\00:23:17.66
And I remember
the very first time,
00:23:17.69\00:23:19.26
Ladye, that I
met Danny and you too
00:23:19.29\00:23:21.86
was on a Gaither
cruise, with the Alaska cruise
00:23:21.90\00:23:25.60
and you came in
with your 3ABN hat on.
00:23:25.63\00:23:28.27
And we had a
ping pong tournament
00:23:28.30\00:23:30.21
with all the, most
of the artists and stuff
00:23:30.24\00:23:32.31
were playing this
ping pong tournament.
00:23:32.34\00:23:34.38
And then Ben Harper
00:23:34.41\00:23:36.54
and Linda
Randall Michael's husband
00:23:36.58\00:23:39.08
is a great ping pong player.
00:23:39.11\00:23:40.82
I was okay, but we
always had this ping pong tour.
00:23:40.85\00:23:43.18
You walk in...
00:23:43.22\00:23:44.55
That's Ben ruled
until you walked in.
00:23:44.59\00:23:46.19
Yeah. And you
beat us all. Seriously.
00:23:46.22\00:23:48.42
You beat us all, everyone else
00:23:48.46\00:23:49.92
and I'm telling
you, it was like,
00:23:49.96\00:23:51.53
I came back to the
room and I said, Ladye Love,
00:23:51.56\00:23:54.36
this guy we're gonna get along.
00:23:54.40\00:23:56.13
I like this guy already.
00:23:56.16\00:23:57.63
And then I, she say,
you shoot the basketball.
00:23:57.67\00:23:59.60
I said, I will never take a shot
00:23:59.63\00:24:01.60
in front of him again.
00:24:01.64\00:24:02.97
I will always rebound
for him and never take a shot
00:24:03.00\00:24:04.97
because it was the greatest shot
00:24:05.01\00:24:06.34
I'd ever seen.
00:24:06.37\00:24:07.71
But you are loved Danny.
00:24:07.74\00:24:09.08
And thank you
for loving our family
00:24:09.11\00:24:11.11
and loving our son too.
00:24:11.15\00:24:14.15
And taken us in
00:24:14.18\00:24:15.85
and kinda like
yours, your friends too.
00:24:15.88\00:24:17.89
And we're gonna have
00:24:17.92\00:24:19.25
many, many more
basketball games,
00:24:19.29\00:24:21.79
ping pong games,
travels together.
00:24:21.82\00:24:25.03
And doing life
together some more.
00:24:25.06\00:24:26.56
We've travelled
all over the world
00:24:26.59\00:24:27.93
with you, Danny.
00:24:27.96\00:24:29.30
You've taken us
all over the world.
00:24:29.33\00:24:30.67
And we're so
appreciative of that.
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.03
And we just, we're
honored to be part of that.
00:24:32.07\00:24:33.97
And we made many great memories.
00:24:34.00\00:24:35.34
And we're gonna make many more.
00:24:35.37\00:24:36.71
Because of you.
00:24:36.74\00:24:38.07
And I can't wait to see
00:24:38.11\00:24:39.44
what God has in
store for your life
00:24:39.47\00:24:40.81
in the next 10 years,
00:24:40.84\00:24:42.18
you're just getting started.
00:24:42.21\00:24:43.55
Happy birthday.
00:24:43.58\00:24:44.91
Happy birthday Danny
We love you and Yvonne.
00:24:44.95\00:24:46.28
Hi, Danny, happy birthday
00:24:49.98\00:24:51.85
from the Batchelors
in, from Amazing Facts.
00:24:51.89\00:24:55.09
It's been just a
joy to be able to work
00:24:55.12\00:24:56.99
and partner with
3ABN all these years.
00:24:57.03\00:24:58.76
And we really count
you as a true friend.
00:24:58.79\00:25:01.43
Now, if my
memory serves me right,
00:25:01.46\00:25:03.20
your first
broadcast on 3ABN was 1986.
00:25:03.23\00:25:08.54
And now you're celebrating
your 35th anniversary.
00:25:08.57\00:25:13.24
That would mean you were 35
00:25:13.27\00:25:15.04
when you launched
your first broadcast
00:25:15.08\00:25:17.58
and you have spent 35
years now in the ministry,
00:25:17.61\00:25:21.12
you spend half of your
life doing the work of 3ABN
00:25:21.15\00:25:24.95
and how many
people you're gonna see
00:25:24.99\00:25:26.49
in the kingdom of heaven
00:25:26.52\00:25:27.86
because of that
vision and that sacrifice.
00:25:27.89\00:25:30.23
It's just such a joy
00:25:30.26\00:25:32.33
to be able to
work together with you.
00:25:32.36\00:25:33.96
We count you as friends
00:25:34.00\00:25:35.43
and the whole
team there at 3ABN.
00:25:35.46\00:25:37.57
And we're so thankful
that we can just send greetings
00:25:37.60\00:25:39.93
and congratulations
for this birthday.
00:25:39.97\00:25:42.64
I wanna read a verse to you.
00:25:42.67\00:25:44.24
And it's from 2
Corinthians 4:15,
00:25:44.27\00:25:48.71
"For all things
are for your sakes,
00:25:48.74\00:25:51.41
that the abundant grace
00:25:51.45\00:25:53.08
might through the
thanksgiving of many
00:25:53.11\00:25:55.48
expand to the glory of God,
00:25:55.52\00:25:58.02
for which cause we faint not
00:25:58.05\00:25:59.99
though our
outward man perishes."
00:26:00.02\00:26:02.22
I know it's no fun getting old.
00:26:02.26\00:26:04.16
"But though the
outward man perishes,
00:26:04.19\00:26:05.76
it says the inward man
00:26:05.79\00:26:07.90
is renewed day by day."
00:26:07.93\00:26:10.47
You're getting
younger on the inside.
00:26:10.50\00:26:12.13
So what you're gonna
do with the next 35 years
00:26:12.17\00:26:15.00
is my question.
00:26:15.04\00:26:16.37
God bless you.
00:26:16.40\00:26:17.74
Happy birthday
from the Batchelors
00:26:17.77\00:26:19.11
and Amazing Facts.
00:26:19.14\00:26:22.01
I first met Danny Shelton
00:26:22.04\00:26:24.15
in Texas in 1986.
00:26:24.18\00:26:28.22
Now, if my math is right
00:26:28.25\00:26:30.25
that's, let me think,
yeah, that's 35 years ago,
00:26:30.29\00:26:35.16
which is exactly half the time
00:26:35.19\00:26:38.19
that Danny has been
living on this planet earth.
00:26:38.23\00:26:43.00
Today is Danny's birthday.
00:26:43.03\00:26:44.73
And Danny, I want to say to
you from the Cater Report team,
00:26:44.77\00:26:48.50
from my heart, I say to you,
happy birthday, dear friend,
00:26:48.54\00:26:53.01
we love you.
00:26:53.04\00:26:54.38
We respect you.
00:26:54.41\00:26:56.68
You came with
us, Danny, to Russia.
00:26:56.71\00:26:59.45
After that great
campaign in 1991,
00:26:59.48\00:27:02.62
you said to me,
00:27:02.65\00:27:03.99
"We've got to
build here a great church
00:27:04.02\00:27:06.49
and evangelism center."
00:27:06.52\00:27:08.96
Most people said,
00:27:08.99\00:27:10.33
"It's impossible.
It can't be done."
00:27:10.36\00:27:13.86
But you were the man of
courage and faith and vision.
00:27:13.90\00:27:18.13
And by the grace of
God, you got it done.
00:27:18.17\00:27:21.80
That's what I
like about you, Danny.
00:27:21.84\00:27:23.47
Many things I like about you.
00:27:23.51\00:27:24.84
I like your sense of humor.
00:27:24.87\00:27:27.58
I like the fact that
00:27:27.61\00:27:28.94
you don't even
like to wear ties,
00:27:28.98\00:27:32.25
but most importantly,
I like your faith in God,
00:27:32.28\00:27:35.68
your love for Jesus,
00:27:35.72\00:27:37.72
your courage, your great vision.
00:27:37.75\00:27:41.29
God used you to raise up 3ABN.
00:27:41.32\00:27:43.96
When people said,
hey, it can't be done,
00:27:43.99\00:27:45.99
but you don't
believe in those words,
00:27:46.03\00:27:48.30
it can't be done.
00:27:48.33\00:27:50.53
And so I
congratulate you today, Danny.
00:27:50.57\00:27:52.83
And on behalf of
the Carter Report team,
00:27:52.87\00:27:55.74
my family, Beverley, David,
and all of us, we say to you,
00:27:55.77\00:27:59.84
Danny, we love you.
00:27:59.87\00:28:02.54
God bless you, Danny.
00:28:02.58\00:28:04.31
God, watch over you, Danny.
00:28:04.35\00:28:06.38
God prosper you, Danny.
00:28:06.41\00:28:08.65
And happy birthday,
my dear, dear friend.
00:28:08.68\00:28:14.22
Amen.
00:28:14.26\00:28:15.59
Amen.
00:28:15.62\00:28:17.13
Happy birthday Danny.
00:28:17.16\00:28:18.49
You've made it
threescore and ten,
00:28:18.53\00:28:20.76
congratulations.
00:28:20.80\00:28:22.13
You know, the Bible
promises us threescore and ten,
00:28:22.16\00:28:24.87
really it's in the Bible.
00:28:24.90\00:28:26.23
Psalm Chapter 90, I'll
read the verses for you.
00:28:26.27\00:28:28.07
Psalm 90:10 and 12.
00:28:28.10\00:28:30.31
It says, "The days of our years
are threescore and ten years."
00:28:30.34\00:28:35.68
Verse 12 says,
00:28:35.71\00:28:37.05
"So teach us to number our days
00:28:37.08\00:28:39.78
that we may apply
our hearts to wisdom."
00:28:39.81\00:28:42.55
So you've made it.
00:28:42.58\00:28:43.92
Congratulations, you've
got your threescore and 10,
00:28:43.95\00:28:45.75
you know what that means.
00:28:45.79\00:28:47.12
That means that every year
beyond this is a bonus year,
00:28:47.16\00:28:50.89
and I believe that
00:28:50.93\00:28:52.26
God is giving
you those bonus years
00:28:52.29\00:28:54.16
because the world needs
your talents, your courage,
00:28:54.20\00:28:59.23
your fortitude, your
wisdom, your love for Jesus.
00:28:59.27\00:29:02.87
They're all contagious.
00:29:02.90\00:29:04.34
God has used you to bless
00:29:04.37\00:29:05.94
thousands if not
millions of people
00:29:05.97\00:29:08.11
all over the world,
00:29:08.14\00:29:09.48
and God is
giving you bonus years
00:29:09.51\00:29:11.35
because the
second coming of Jesus
00:29:11.38\00:29:13.11
is tarrying right now.
00:29:13.15\00:29:14.62
And we need those bonus years.
00:29:14.65\00:29:16.15
Danny, we need you
to have your impact,
00:29:16.18\00:29:18.79
your influence
on the world today.
00:29:18.82\00:29:20.56
So praise God for
three score and ten.
00:29:20.59\00:29:23.39
Happy birthday, bro.
00:29:23.43\00:29:24.83
We love you.
We're thankful for you.
00:29:24.86\00:29:26.80
And we pray that God
will continue to use you
00:29:26.83\00:29:28.80
to teach the
three angels' messages
00:29:28.83\00:29:30.40
and mend broken people.
00:29:30.43\00:29:34.00
Hi Danny, happy birthday to you.
00:29:34.04\00:29:35.97
It's a privilege to know you
00:29:36.00\00:29:37.34
and to be acquainted
00:29:37.37\00:29:38.71
with the work that
you would do at 3ABN.
00:29:38.74\00:29:40.28
May God continue to bless you.
00:29:40.31\00:29:43.95
Happy birthday, Danny.
00:29:43.98\00:29:45.81
Thank you for
serving God and serving us.
00:29:45.85\00:29:48.28
I really appreciate you.
00:29:48.32\00:29:50.62
Appreciate your
leadership at 3ABN.
00:29:50.65\00:29:53.49
And I really appreciate
your accepting the call
00:29:53.52\00:29:56.76
to serve Jesus
00:29:56.79\00:29:58.46
and spread the
gospel around the world.
00:29:58.49\00:30:01.30
You are truly a
modern day Moses or Noah.
00:30:01.33\00:30:06.80
Noah is probably better
00:30:06.84\00:30:08.17
'cause you're
more of a carpenter guy
00:30:08.20\00:30:09.87
and thank you
00:30:09.90\00:30:11.24
for choosing
such a wonderful wife
00:30:11.27\00:30:13.74
to be beside you,
00:30:13.78\00:30:15.11
as I have done,
that's incredible.
00:30:15.14\00:30:16.48
We're just alive.
00:30:16.51\00:30:17.98
Anyhow, thank you
so much for serving God
00:30:18.01\00:30:21.18
and we hope you
have a happy birthday.
00:30:21.22\00:30:24.05
Happy birthday, Danny.
00:30:24.09\00:30:25.42
We love you and look
forward to seeing you
00:30:25.45\00:30:27.22
and Yvonne real soon.
00:30:27.26\00:30:28.89
Bye.
00:30:28.92\00:30:30.26
Hello Danny.
00:30:30.29\00:30:31.63
This is Wintley,
00:30:31.66\00:30:32.99
wishing you a
happy 70th birthday.
00:30:33.03\00:30:36.83
I want you to know
00:30:36.87\00:30:38.20
I've met a lot of amazing people
00:30:38.23\00:30:40.10
in my life,
00:30:40.14\00:30:42.07
but I can tell you,
00:30:42.10\00:30:43.94
I have not met anyone
00:30:43.97\00:30:46.81
that I have more
respect for and admiration for.
00:30:46.84\00:30:52.45
You are my
friend and my brother.
00:30:52.48\00:30:56.62
Let me tell you why I
appreciate you so much.
00:30:56.65\00:30:59.99
First of all,
00:31:00.02\00:31:01.72
you are a man who
has a brilliant mind.
00:31:01.76\00:31:07.20
Danny, you know, I
respect your thinking.
00:31:07.23\00:31:11.10
I respect your instincts.
00:31:11.13\00:31:13.07
I respect your mind.
00:31:13.10\00:31:16.20
You're also a man
who has a big heart.
00:31:16.24\00:31:20.48
Danny. I've not met
anyone with a bigger heart.
00:31:20.51\00:31:23.75
I've not met another man
with a bigger heart than yours.
00:31:23.78\00:31:28.25
You're also a man who
has a benevolent spirit.
00:31:28.28\00:31:33.36
Danny, I've never met anyone
00:31:33.39\00:31:35.82
more generous than
you, more kind than you.
00:31:35.86\00:31:39.79
You're also a man
of breathtaking vision.
00:31:39.83\00:31:45.77
Your vision is usually so huge,
00:31:45.80\00:31:49.00
it takes all of us
00:31:49.04\00:31:50.37
to kind of catch up and keep up.
00:31:50.41\00:31:54.04
And because you are a man
of such breathtaking vision,
00:31:54.08\00:31:58.45
God gave you a
couple of other qualities,
00:31:58.48\00:32:00.68
a lot of, a couple
of other big qualities
00:32:00.72\00:32:03.75
to be able to keep up
with your breathtaking vision.
00:32:03.79\00:32:06.25
He gave you boldness.
00:32:06.29\00:32:09.26
You're a bold brother
00:32:09.29\00:32:11.49
and He gave you
not just boldness,
00:32:11.53\00:32:15.96
but He gave you bravery.
00:32:16.00\00:32:19.30
Danny, I thank God that
00:32:19.33\00:32:22.04
when you come up
with a concept, an idea
00:32:22.07\00:32:24.64
God gives you that
you move with bravery,
00:32:24.67\00:32:28.04
you're a brave brother.
00:32:28.08\00:32:30.98
And then last but not least,
00:32:31.01\00:32:33.52
my brother, you're a blessing.
00:32:33.55\00:32:36.02
You're a blessing
to millions of people
00:32:36.05\00:32:39.35
and you have
been a blessing to me.
00:32:39.39\00:32:42.99
And so it is my honor
00:32:43.02\00:32:45.73
to call you my friend.
00:32:45.76\00:32:49.06
And I think I'll
say happy birthday
00:32:49.10\00:32:51.03
in my own way.
00:32:51.07\00:32:53.13
Happy birthday to you
00:32:53.17\00:32:58.31
Happy birthday to you
00:32:58.34\00:33:04.28
Happy 70th birthday,
00:33:04.31\00:33:07.75
dear Danny
00:33:07.78\00:33:12.15
Happy birthday
00:33:12.19\00:33:15.82
To you
00:33:15.86\00:33:19.83
Happy birthday, my brother.
00:33:19.86\00:33:21.86
God bless you.
00:33:21.90\00:33:23.77
We thank the world of you.
00:33:23.80\00:33:27.30
I hope that you've
enjoyed your birthday video.
00:33:27.34\00:33:30.17
Special thanks to Brad
and Valerie, Greg, Jill,
00:33:30.21\00:33:33.31
Jorge, Dee LaDonna,
and all the production team
00:33:33.34\00:33:36.24
that pulled this
great project together.
00:33:36.28\00:33:39.15
I wanted to be the last
one to pay tribute to you.
00:33:39.18\00:33:42.45
I'm so grateful
00:33:42.48\00:33:43.82
that the Lord
brought us together.
00:33:43.85\00:33:45.75
It's so
wonderful to have a husband
00:33:45.79\00:33:48.02
who go with me to
doctor's appointments.
00:33:48.06\00:33:49.99
That's what you
do when you get old
00:33:50.03\00:33:51.89
and pray over me when I'm sick
00:33:51.93\00:33:53.76
and laugh with
me and cry with me,
00:33:53.80\00:33:56.70
you are my life partner.
00:33:56.73\00:33:58.90
And I'm so grateful
that God gave you to me.
00:33:58.93\00:34:01.77
I pray that we will have
many more happy years together,
00:34:01.80\00:34:05.97
but if our lives
were to end today,
00:34:06.01\00:34:07.84
we could surely say that
we've had a wonderful marriage.
00:34:07.88\00:34:12.11
Thank you for being a
great dad to our kids,
00:34:12.15\00:34:15.18
a great papa to our grandkids
and a wonderful husband to me.
00:34:15.22\00:34:19.35
I love you so much,
honey, happy birthday.
00:34:19.39\00:34:24.46
Wow.
00:34:24.49\00:34:25.83
I don't even know what to say.
00:34:25.86\00:34:28.26
Were you surprised?
00:34:28.30\00:34:29.83
Yeah, I'm definitely surprised,
00:34:29.86\00:34:31.63
I have no idea you
all had, had this planned.
00:34:31.67\00:34:36.71
So thank you so much.
00:34:36.74\00:34:38.21
I mean, it's
undeserving of course,
00:34:38.24\00:34:40.91
but it's nice to know
that people that you work with
00:34:40.94\00:34:43.81
and people that you
know, you minister with
00:34:43.85\00:34:46.35
and some of these evangelists
00:34:46.38\00:34:47.72
and others who
have the same vision,
00:34:47.75\00:34:49.92
literally to reach the
world that we can work together.
00:34:49.95\00:34:53.92
I didn't really think
about being 70 too old,
00:34:53.96\00:34:56.56
so old till some of
you helped me realize that,
00:34:56.59\00:34:59.89
but half of my lifetime really,
00:34:59.93\00:35:02.23
and so yeah, actually '84
was the vision to start it.
00:35:02.26\00:35:06.50
We started building.
So I think it was 33.
00:35:06.53\00:35:09.84
And now all of a
sudden who would dream,
00:35:09.87\00:35:11.74
you'd be here till 70.
00:35:11.77\00:35:13.84
Thank you, honey.
That was so sweet.
00:35:13.88\00:35:15.84
What you did is
it's a great privilege
00:35:15.88\00:35:18.21
that the Lord has allowed us
to spend these years together.
00:35:18.25\00:35:21.38
Pastor John and both
of you, and Greg and Jill.
00:35:21.42\00:35:24.29
And I thank all
of you at home too,
00:35:24.32\00:35:27.22
for what you do
for the cause of God.
00:35:27.26\00:35:29.82
And I do wanna say this
while it all sounds great
00:35:29.86\00:35:32.76
and people are very
kind and say kind things.
00:35:32.79\00:35:35.46
We're all humans
in need of a savior.
00:35:35.50\00:35:37.73
And I fail God many
times and will continue.
00:35:37.77\00:35:40.87
But I'm so thankful
00:35:40.90\00:35:42.24
for the process
of sanctification
00:35:42.27\00:35:44.51
that once we accept Jesus Christ
00:35:44.54\00:35:47.11
as Lord and savior of our life,
00:35:47.14\00:35:48.68
and we're heading,
00:35:48.71\00:35:50.35
you know, trying to be a witness
00:35:50.38\00:35:52.31
and work in ministry,
00:35:52.35\00:35:53.82
you slip and you fall,
00:35:53.85\00:35:55.18
but you can
always come back to God
00:35:55.22\00:35:56.75
and He will bring you back
into the full and His blood.
00:35:56.79\00:36:00.59
His righteousness will cover,
00:36:00.62\00:36:02.46
you know, so thankful
for a heavenly Father,
00:36:02.49\00:36:05.03
who's allowed me
to be a part of this.
00:36:05.06\00:36:06.70
I mean, coming
from a little area
00:36:06.73\00:36:08.30
like West Frankfort, Illinois,
00:36:08.33\00:36:10.20
then my father disabled at 36
00:36:10.23\00:36:12.33
and several brothers.
00:36:12.37\00:36:13.70
There's four of us,
boys and girl and my mother
00:36:13.74\00:36:16.00
and growing up together
00:36:16.04\00:36:17.67
and a high school
education going into carpentry,
00:36:17.71\00:36:21.28
never expecting to
do anything in ministry,
00:36:21.31\00:36:25.08
but yet always felt like
00:36:25.11\00:36:26.45
I had a call in
my life for ministry
00:36:26.48\00:36:28.38
ever since I was young,
00:36:28.42\00:36:29.75
but never even dreamed
about going to college,
00:36:29.78\00:36:31.22
that would have been out
of, you know, financial areas.
00:36:31.25\00:36:34.29
And we didn't
know a lot of the ways
00:36:34.32\00:36:35.89
they allow you to do it today.
00:36:35.92\00:36:37.26
So I never even
thought that way,
00:36:37.29\00:36:39.06
but I feel so honored that
00:36:39.09\00:36:41.86
God's allowed me to
be a part of a ministry
00:36:41.90\00:36:44.83
that now literally is
reaching planet earth.
00:36:44.87\00:36:47.67
And to hundreds
of millions if not,
00:36:47.70\00:36:49.90
I'm told potentially a
couple of billion people or so
00:36:49.94\00:36:53.17
on planet earth can
watch and listen 3ABN
00:36:53.21\00:36:55.88
if they really want to.
00:36:55.91\00:36:57.25
So again, I wanna thank
each and every one of you
00:36:57.28\00:36:59.81
for what you do,
00:36:59.85\00:37:01.18
but without you at
home, there would be no 3ABN.
00:37:01.22\00:37:03.89
We can all talk all we want to,
00:37:03.92\00:37:06.49
preach to each
other all we want to,
00:37:06.52\00:37:08.59
but nobody would hear
it, nobody would see it.
00:37:08.62\00:37:11.26
So I wanna thank you
00:37:11.29\00:37:12.99
for what you've done all
of these years in support
00:37:13.03\00:37:16.06
of Three Angels
Broadcasting Network.
00:37:16.10\00:37:18.50
And, of course, for all
of you that have taken part
00:37:18.53\00:37:21.67
in this from Elder
Wilson to everybody else.
00:37:21.70\00:37:23.97
Thank you so much.
That means a lot to me.
00:37:24.01\00:37:25.87
I appreciate
it. And to you babe.
00:37:25.91\00:37:27.24
Thanks so much.
00:37:27.28\00:37:28.61
That's a surprise though
00:37:28.64\00:37:29.98
that we have to
talk about that later,
00:37:30.01\00:37:32.38
that little surprise
for me that did get me.
00:37:32.41\00:37:34.78
I'm usually pretty
tough to surprise...
00:37:34.82\00:37:36.99
He's hard to surprise,
00:37:37.02\00:37:39.35
I mean really, he's really hard.
00:37:39.39\00:37:41.52
We plan on being gone
on the birthday anyways.
00:37:41.56\00:37:44.86
So I said, oh, well,
00:37:44.89\00:37:46.23
we'll just kind of fill by this.
00:37:46.26\00:37:48.53
And there are some more,
00:37:48.56\00:37:49.90
'cause there's
some more employees
00:37:49.93\00:37:51.27
and others actually
'cause the video is longer.
00:37:51.30\00:37:52.63
Pastor Johnny, Idalia,
Sister Angie and Pastor John,
00:37:52.67\00:37:55.10
and others also soon,
would get to see more later.
00:37:55.14\00:37:57.14
Oh, good.
00:37:57.17\00:37:58.51
We have a family
one. Yeah, family one.
00:37:58.54\00:38:00.44
Thank you so much.
00:38:00.48\00:38:01.81
Thank you, Mr. Danny.
Yeah, go ahead pastor.
00:38:01.84\00:38:03.61
Yeah, you know. Yeah.
00:38:03.65\00:38:05.01
As Paul said
before Agrippa, he said,
00:38:05.05\00:38:07.52
"I was not disobedient
unto the heavenly vision."
00:38:07.55\00:38:11.45
And when you
stand before the Lord,
00:38:11.49\00:38:13.92
you could by God's grace say
00:38:13.96\00:38:15.69
I was not
disobedient to the vision
00:38:15.72\00:38:18.06
and it moves my heart to think.
00:38:18.09\00:38:19.53
I wouldn't be, I mean,
00:38:19.56\00:38:20.90
more than half of my
ministry has been here.
00:38:20.93\00:38:22.80
Wow. And...
00:38:22.83\00:38:24.17
Isn't that something?
00:38:24.20\00:38:25.53
It's humbling to think that
00:38:25.57\00:38:26.90
the guy from New York City
00:38:26.94\00:38:28.27
will be living in
West Frankfort by a lake.
00:38:28.30\00:38:31.94
And my wife and
I, we could think of
00:38:31.97\00:38:34.31
when I was first
invited to come here.
00:38:34.34\00:38:35.98
When Dee said,
whenever you're in the area
00:38:36.01\00:38:38.91
and I was living in California
00:38:38.95\00:38:40.92
at the time when
Dee called me in 1999.
00:38:40.95\00:38:42.42
She says,
00:38:42.45\00:38:43.79
"Whenever you're in
the area, stop by 3ABN."
00:38:43.82\00:38:46.09
I said, "What's the area?"
00:38:46.12\00:38:47.92
She said, "West Frankfort."
00:38:47.96\00:38:49.29
I said, "Where is that?"
00:38:49.32\00:38:50.66
She said, "In
Southern Illinois."
00:38:50.69\00:38:52.03
I said, "I won't be in
the area anytime soon".
00:38:52.06\00:38:54.46
And she said,
00:38:54.50\00:38:55.83
"What would it
take to get you here?"
00:38:55.86\00:38:57.20
And I said,
00:38:57.23\00:38:58.57
"Well, I'm not gonna
ask you to pay me anything,
00:38:58.60\00:38:59.93
just an airline ticket."
00:38:59.97\00:39:01.30
How far are you
from the airport?
00:39:01.34\00:39:02.67
Well, just a
vehicle to get there.
00:39:02.70\00:39:04.04
And now I now know
00:39:04.07\00:39:05.41
that 3ABN doesn't just
pay for people to come here.
00:39:05.44\00:39:09.04
And I look back on that
as an appointment from God,
00:39:09.08\00:39:12.41
because Dee called me
back in about 10 minutes.
00:39:12.45\00:39:14.22
She said, "It's done.
I want you come here."
00:39:14.25\00:39:17.35
And it's providential and ironic
00:39:17.39\00:39:19.05
that the house, my
wife and I are in today
00:39:19.09\00:39:21.56
was the house that I stayed in
00:39:21.59\00:39:23.49
when I came here
the very first time.
00:39:23.53\00:39:25.06
So God has a way of,
00:39:25.09\00:39:26.90
and then when I moved
from California to St. Louis,
00:39:26.93\00:39:30.07
my wife and I started
pastoring in St. Louis.
00:39:30.10\00:39:32.73
And after nine months,
00:39:32.77\00:39:34.30
we saw that that
was not God's plan.
00:39:34.34\00:39:35.90
And I sat at the
edge of my bed and said,
00:39:35.94\00:39:37.54
"Lord, honestly,
00:39:37.57\00:39:38.91
what would you want us to
do with the rest of our lives?"
00:39:38.94\00:39:41.61
And two days later,
you called me and asked me,
00:39:41.64\00:39:43.38
"Are you sitting down?"
00:39:43.41\00:39:44.75
And I didn't know
you that well then.
00:39:44.78\00:39:46.11
And you said,
00:39:46.15\00:39:47.48
"We're looking for a pastor.
00:39:47.52\00:39:48.85
Would you consider pastoring
the church we're gonna build?"
00:39:48.88\00:39:50.22
Wow.
00:39:50.25\00:39:51.59
And then, so we've
been here ever since,
00:39:51.62\00:39:52.95
and I could tell you
00:39:52.99\00:39:54.32
we've been in the
trenches together.
00:39:54.36\00:39:55.69
We've seen good times
and bad times at 3ABN,
00:39:55.72\00:39:58.59
but as is the case so
many have expressed this,
00:39:58.63\00:40:02.56
if the furnace is hot,
00:40:02.60\00:40:05.03
I wouldn't mind
being in with you
00:40:05.07\00:40:07.24
because we've gone
through some furnaces together
00:40:07.27\00:40:09.50
and we've come
out on the other side
00:40:09.54\00:40:10.87
by God's grace.
00:40:10.91\00:40:12.24
So thank you for being
obedient for my wife and me
00:40:12.27\00:40:14.18
to the heavenly vision.
00:40:14.21\00:40:15.54
We love you, Danny.
00:40:15.58\00:40:16.91
Praise the Lord. Thank you.
00:40:16.95\00:40:18.28
Johnny came, what
year did you come?
00:40:18.31\00:40:21.35
I came in...
00:40:21.38\00:40:22.72
He was a teenager.
End of November, 1989.
00:40:22.75\00:40:24.82
Wow.
00:40:24.85\00:40:26.19
And to me it was a miracle
00:40:26.22\00:40:28.96
of the Lord that I
was able to come here.
00:40:28.99\00:40:31.59
And I have to say that
throughout all these years,
00:40:31.63\00:40:33.83
you know,
looking at the ministry
00:40:33.86\00:40:35.20
and looking at the
way God has led you,
00:40:35.23\00:40:38.73
I see balance the
wisdom they spoke about.
00:40:38.77\00:40:40.97
I've seen it and
also the faith, you know,
00:40:41.00\00:40:44.11
just to say one of the things,
00:40:44.14\00:40:46.31
I remember when
we presented to you
00:40:46.34\00:40:49.31
the idea of 3ABN Latino,
00:40:49.34\00:40:51.81
and I literally when Mollie said
00:40:51.85\00:40:55.22
you're number 17 on
the list to see Danny.
00:40:55.25\00:40:58.45
You mean there
are 16 other people?
00:40:58.49\00:41:00.59
Yeah, Jill and
Greg on that list.
00:41:00.62\00:41:04.13
But it was interesting...
00:41:04.16\00:41:05.49
That they have to,
00:41:05.53\00:41:06.86
now everybody's
waiting on you all.
00:41:06.90\00:41:08.23
And three weeks
later, I get the call.
00:41:08.26\00:41:10.13
Danny is ready to see you.
00:41:10.17\00:41:11.57
I come with my information
00:41:11.60\00:41:13.70
because we were about
to present the idea of,
00:41:13.74\00:41:15.90
you know, we need
a Spanish channel.
00:41:15.94\00:41:17.81
And just as I got to the stairs,
00:41:17.84\00:41:19.54
because my office
was in the second floor
00:41:19.57\00:41:21.51
in pastoral,
00:41:21.54\00:41:22.88
when I worked in pastoral.
00:41:22.91\00:41:24.31
The fear, is this a good
time to present this project?
00:41:24.35\00:41:28.82
Because 3ABN was
about a million dollars
00:41:28.85\00:41:31.45
behind on offerings.
00:41:31.49\00:41:33.89
And I know that if I go
00:41:33.92\00:41:35.99
to one of these companies
like Ford or whatever company
00:41:36.02\00:41:39.03
I said, "Hey, we
have a new project.
00:41:39.06\00:41:40.40
We wanna start another
branch somewhere else."
00:41:40.43\00:41:42.66
The idea would be,
00:41:42.70\00:41:44.03
do you not know what's going on.
00:41:44.07\00:41:45.40
We're about to...
00:41:45.43\00:41:46.77
We're facing
difficult financial times,
00:41:46.80\00:41:48.87
but I had to go back and pray,
00:41:48.90\00:41:50.77
Lord, if this is the time,
00:41:50.81\00:41:52.61
then impress Danny,
that this is Your will.
00:41:52.64\00:41:55.71
And I literally
prayed and all fear left.
00:41:55.74\00:41:59.31
And I say, well,
it's in the Lord's hands.
00:41:59.35\00:42:02.25
And so after we
were sharing information
00:42:02.28\00:42:04.65
about how many Spanish
people there are in this country
00:42:04.69\00:42:07.32
and other parts of the world.
00:42:07.36\00:42:09.89
I mean, it was just a blip.
00:42:09.92\00:42:12.13
What does all this mean?
00:42:12.16\00:42:13.50
You know, you say, what
is, what does all this mean,
00:42:13.53\00:42:15.20
all this information sharing?
00:42:15.23\00:42:16.67
Well, I believe we
need a Spanish channel.
00:42:16.70\00:42:19.57
And I remember
that blink, let's do it.
00:42:19.60\00:42:22.27
There was a blink and
let's, let's go forward.
00:42:22.30\00:42:25.07
And I was like,
did he just say yes,
00:42:25.11\00:42:29.11
because what's in the back of...
00:42:29.14\00:42:30.65
That's when it
came back to my mind,
00:42:30.68\00:42:32.81
wait, there's a million dollars.
00:42:32.85\00:42:34.68
And because
right after you said,
00:42:34.72\00:42:36.15
we're still a
million dollars behind.
00:42:36.18\00:42:37.82
And I was like, oh
man, I had no idea.
00:42:37.85\00:42:39.85
'Cause I had heard about
that about three weeks ago,
00:42:39.89\00:42:41.52
I had no idea,
but let's go forward.
00:42:41.56\00:42:43.76
And you know, praise the Lord.
00:42:43.79\00:42:46.09
About two weeks later,
00:42:46.13\00:42:47.46
Lenner Westphal
was in the lobby here.
00:42:47.50\00:42:50.80
There was a 3ABN
board meeting taking place
00:42:50.83\00:42:53.70
and I'm passing through
and he goes, he greets me.
00:42:53.74\00:42:56.44
And how are you?
00:42:56.47\00:42:57.81
He says,
00:42:57.84\00:42:59.17
"We have a
phenomenal, phenomenal report,
00:42:59.21\00:43:00.54
phenomenal report."
00:43:00.58\00:43:01.91
And he told us, he told me that
00:43:01.94\00:43:06.21
finances had come in there
00:43:06.25\00:43:08.28
that put 3ABN right
where we needed to be.
00:43:08.32\00:43:11.75
So I said, "Praise the Lord."
That I needed to hear that.
00:43:11.79\00:43:15.06
I needed to hear that part.
00:43:15.09\00:43:16.42
So I said, "Praise the Lord."
00:43:16.46\00:43:17.99
So 3ABN Latino is
a product of a man
00:43:18.03\00:43:20.70
that still believes that
no matter what's going on,
00:43:20.73\00:43:23.16
we need to go
forward to preach the gospel.
00:43:23.20\00:43:24.80
Amen.
00:43:24.83\00:43:26.17
I appreciate you and
Idalia in all that you've done.
00:43:26.20\00:43:28.14
Your family, Caleb's here today,
00:43:28.17\00:43:29.70
running the camera.
00:43:29.74\00:43:31.14
And, I mean, it's been,
Samuel's been here for years
00:43:31.17\00:43:34.51
and watching
your family grow up.
00:43:34.54\00:43:36.54
It's been great for all of you.
00:43:36.58\00:43:37.91
So anyway...
00:43:37.95\00:43:39.28
And I have to say
this one more thing.
00:43:39.31\00:43:40.65
You know, I have
seen some of the attacks
00:43:40.68\00:43:43.72
that have come to you,
that challenges you faced.
00:43:43.75\00:43:47.12
And I have to say,
00:43:47.16\00:43:48.49
you have faced
them looking unto Jesus,
00:43:48.52\00:43:50.43
looking unto Jesus
00:43:50.46\00:43:51.79
because without Jesus,
we really can't do nothing.
00:43:51.83\00:43:54.13
So looking unto
Jesus, and I encourage you
00:43:54.16\00:43:56.00
to continue to look unto Jesus,
no matter what comes your way,
00:43:56.03\00:43:59.30
God will always
be your strength.
00:43:59.33\00:44:01.00
Amen.
00:44:01.04\00:44:02.37
I'd like to encourage
anybody watching today,
00:44:02.40\00:44:04.77
no matter what comes your way.
00:44:04.81\00:44:06.81
Like with me, certain things
through the last 35 years,
00:44:06.84\00:44:11.28
you know, the devil
hits you every way he can,
00:44:11.31\00:44:13.28
sometimes it's your own fault.
00:44:13.31\00:44:14.72
Other times he just hates
those who's on the frontline,
00:44:14.75\00:44:17.85
but your choices.
00:44:17.89\00:44:19.85
Do I go forward or quit?
00:44:19.89\00:44:21.22
Well there's
nothing in the Bible
00:44:21.26\00:44:22.59
that ever says quit?
00:44:22.62\00:44:23.96
No. Right.
00:44:23.99\00:44:25.33
Nothing ever says quit.
00:44:25.36\00:44:26.70
So retirement we say,
it's out of this world.
00:44:26.73\00:44:28.13
We can worry about that,
00:44:28.16\00:44:29.50
you know, when we get to heaven.
00:44:29.53\00:44:30.87
So my choice has
always been simple is to go,
00:44:30.90\00:44:33.77
the blessing of God is
on the go to never quit.
00:44:33.80\00:44:36.17
When the Lord's through with me,
00:44:36.20\00:44:38.17
He'll allow me to be,
I've had people predict,
00:44:38.21\00:44:40.74
well, he won't
be there next year.
00:44:40.78\00:44:42.18
And I don't like this.
00:44:42.21\00:44:43.55
We don't like that and
that when you're in a fishbowl,
00:44:43.58\00:44:46.18
so to speak that we've been,
and to me, I hate to say this.
00:44:46.21\00:44:49.72
I don't wanna sound to anyway,
00:44:49.75\00:44:52.39
but it's the so what
is like what people say
00:44:52.42\00:44:55.82
when it's an opposition,
I'm really not worried,
00:44:55.86\00:44:59.16
greater is He,
00:44:59.19\00:45:00.53
that is in us than
He that is in the world.
00:45:00.56\00:45:02.36
So, you, if people are
trying to get you down,
00:45:02.40\00:45:05.40
trying to discourage
you, coming against you
00:45:05.43\00:45:08.87
with no matter what
you say, you know what?
00:45:08.90\00:45:11.17
I was born to serve the Lord.
00:45:11.21\00:45:12.77
And so when you
make mistakes, admit it,
00:45:12.81\00:45:15.64
I made a lot of them.
00:45:15.68\00:45:17.01
I admit it.
00:45:17.05\00:45:18.38
I've come to the Lord and said,
"Lord, will You forgive me?"
00:45:18.41\00:45:20.75
And He always has been faithful
00:45:20.78\00:45:22.42
and just to
forgive me for my sins.
00:45:22.45\00:45:24.42
So therefore,
00:45:24.45\00:45:25.79
I'm gonna continue to go forward
00:45:25.82\00:45:27.16
till the Lord, says,
okay, it's time to rest
00:45:27.19\00:45:29.26
or till we get to see
Him in the clouds of glory.
00:45:29.29\00:45:31.69
And I get to do it with you.
00:45:31.73\00:45:33.06
Amen.
00:45:33.09\00:45:34.43
Thank you for that,
00:45:34.46\00:45:35.80
you're making it so much better.
00:45:35.83\00:45:37.17
Me too.
Welcome. Praise the Lord.
00:45:37.20\00:45:38.53
Wow. You guys.
00:45:38.57\00:45:39.90
That was a...
You pulled that one.
00:45:39.93\00:45:42.60
You just gonna come
on and talk about kids.
00:45:42.64\00:45:45.47
Yeah.
00:45:45.51\00:45:47.88
You guys are a great team.
00:45:47.91\00:45:49.24
And thank you for being
a man that walks by faith,
00:45:49.28\00:45:51.38
you know, and not by sight
00:45:51.41\00:45:52.75
and as we were
mentioning, you know,
00:45:52.78\00:45:54.12
in the thank you, and
the happy birthday greeting,
00:45:54.15\00:45:55.78
you know, just
for pouring into us
00:45:55.82\00:45:57.49
and for believing in
us and that means a lot.
00:45:57.52\00:46:00.62
And you believe in
many, you know, here at 3ABN.
00:46:00.66\00:46:03.09
And so it's all part
of the team together.
00:46:03.12\00:46:05.09
And you're firm believer in that
00:46:05.13\00:46:06.46
and it's a blessing to,
00:46:06.49\00:46:07.83
you know, the part that
we all have to play right
00:46:07.86\00:46:09.20
is just small,
00:46:09.23\00:46:10.57
but it's making a
difference in the entire world.
00:46:10.60\00:46:12.77
And it's just amazing.
00:46:12.80\00:46:14.14
It's a privilege to be here,
working with everyone else.
00:46:14.17\00:46:16.37
Just so our viewers know
00:46:16.40\00:46:18.64
you and Jill
were handpicked by God
00:46:18.67\00:46:20.74
to do what you're doing.
00:46:20.78\00:46:22.11
Absolutely.
00:46:22.14\00:46:23.48
And Yvonne and I, and
the rest of us were 100%.
00:46:23.51\00:46:25.58
You can trust them.
00:46:25.61\00:46:26.95
Talk about integrity,
talk about dedication,
00:46:26.98\00:46:29.75
focus to the mission.
00:46:29.78\00:46:31.32
I'm gonna go here, there,
in my mind I get these ideas
00:46:31.35\00:46:34.69
now it sound great.
00:46:34.72\00:46:36.06
But if I didn't have people
following through with them,
00:46:36.09\00:46:38.26
it'd be, I just nobody
know about it, but me, right?
00:46:38.29\00:46:41.56
So I get a lot more
credit than I deserve,
00:46:41.60\00:46:44.33
but these folks
are so organized.
00:46:44.37\00:46:46.50
You're brilliant.
00:46:46.53\00:46:47.87
If I can use the word
00:46:47.90\00:46:49.24
and God has
handpicked you right now.
00:46:49.27\00:46:51.57
So I would like everybody,
not only your support,
00:46:51.61\00:46:54.44
but your prayers
for Greg and Jill
00:46:54.48\00:46:56.34
and for our pastors,
00:46:56.38\00:46:57.71
the devil hates him.
00:46:57.75\00:46:59.08
What you're
getting ready to present.
00:46:59.11\00:47:00.55
The devil hates,
00:47:00.58\00:47:01.92
so the devil
like to see you dead.
00:47:01.95\00:47:03.99
Devil likes see you dead,
what you gonna do in Cuba,
00:47:04.02\00:47:06.42
we know that.
00:47:06.45\00:47:07.79
John 10:10, he's out to
steal, kill and to destroy,
00:47:07.82\00:47:11.69
but the big but, Jesus says,
we say but in capital letters.
00:47:11.73\00:47:16.53
Jesus says, I am come
that you may have life
00:47:16.56\00:47:19.63
and have it more abundantly.
00:47:19.67\00:47:21.00
And so what we're
talking about this,
00:47:21.04\00:47:22.60
we're talking
about you too at home
00:47:22.64\00:47:24.77
because the devil hates you.
00:47:24.81\00:47:26.57
He's out to, that
scripture fits you.
00:47:26.61\00:47:29.18
But also that we just mentioned
00:47:29.21\00:47:31.18
the greater is He that is in us.
00:47:31.21\00:47:33.11
That's in you too,
than he that is in.
00:47:33.15\00:47:35.18
We have, Satan
has no power over us.
00:47:35.22\00:47:38.45
It's a matter of choice.
00:47:38.49\00:47:39.82
People say,
00:47:39.85\00:47:41.19
"Oh, I'm so discouraged.
00:47:41.22\00:47:42.76
And people don't treat me right.
00:47:42.79\00:47:44.13
I quit going to
church and I was offended."
00:47:44.16\00:47:46.86
Well, great peace have
00:47:46.90\00:47:48.23
they which love thy law
and nothing shall offend them.
00:47:48.26\00:47:50.50
So I always tell people
being offended is a choice.
00:47:50.53\00:47:53.90
So that's when we're worrying
too much about ourselves.
00:47:53.94\00:47:56.54
Well, I'm not gonna
do this anymore, Greg,
00:47:56.57\00:47:58.51
because so-and-so
didn't appreciate what I did.
00:47:58.54\00:48:01.68
Or they said this
terrible thing about me.
00:48:01.71\00:48:03.95
Who am I hurting when I do that?
00:48:03.98\00:48:05.71
And my, you know...
00:48:05.75\00:48:07.08
It's all about me.
00:48:07.12\00:48:08.45
Don't allow somebody
else to discourage you.
00:48:08.48\00:48:10.25
That's right.
00:48:10.29\00:48:11.62
Being offended is a choice.
00:48:11.65\00:48:12.99
Choosing not to be offended,
00:48:13.02\00:48:14.36
just say, hey,
for me and my house,
00:48:14.39\00:48:16.22
we will serve the Lord.
00:48:16.26\00:48:17.63
If you like it, okay, if
you don't like around it,
00:48:17.66\00:48:20.03
we're still here.
00:48:20.06\00:48:21.40
As long as we have
breath, we're gonna witness,
00:48:21.43\00:48:23.20
tell the world
about Jesus Christ
00:48:23.23\00:48:24.90
and His saving power.
00:48:24.93\00:48:26.37
Amen. That's right.
00:48:26.40\00:48:27.74
You know, you're talking
about the topic 'cause we,
00:48:27.77\00:48:29.74
you know, I appreciate
the message pastor too
00:48:29.77\00:48:31.97
on Sabbath is fantastic.
00:48:32.01\00:48:33.38
You know, and I just
think about the privilege
00:48:33.41\00:48:34.84
that 3ABN has
00:48:34.88\00:48:36.21
to be able to
proclaim this gospel right now
00:48:36.24\00:48:37.71
in this time in earth's history.
00:48:37.75\00:48:39.28
I mean, it's phenomenal.
00:48:39.31\00:48:40.65
We think about the world
00:48:40.68\00:48:42.02
and what's
going on in the world.
00:48:42.05\00:48:43.39
And for 3ABN to
still have a voice
00:48:43.42\00:48:45.29
that still goes around the world
00:48:45.32\00:48:47.02
is an incredible privilege
00:48:47.06\00:48:48.59
'cause we know that times
are gonna get really tough.
00:48:48.62\00:48:49.96
Right?
00:48:49.99\00:48:51.33
Yes We know that
prophecy very soon.
00:48:51.36\00:48:52.69
Yes.
00:48:52.73\00:48:54.06
So we know we have today, right?
00:48:54.10\00:48:55.43
And so we need to
take full advantage
00:48:55.46\00:48:56.80
in a good way
00:48:56.83\00:48:58.17
of the privilege that
3ABN has to reach the world.
00:48:58.20\00:48:59.60
It's just incredible.
00:48:59.63\00:49:00.97
Thank you for what you're
gonna share in the second hour
00:49:01.00\00:49:02.67
about the mark of
the beast and things,
00:49:02.70\00:49:04.04
these are pertinent
00:49:04.07\00:49:05.41
to the times we're
living in, for sure.
00:49:05.44\00:49:06.78
And it's a
condensed version of it.
00:49:06.81\00:49:09.54
No, I understand.
00:49:09.58\00:49:10.91
'Cause one of the
things that I think about
00:49:10.95\00:49:12.35
in the back of my mind
00:49:12.38\00:49:13.72
when you present a
topic of this magnitude.
00:49:13.75\00:49:15.08
Oh, yeah.
00:49:15.12\00:49:16.45
Because life and
death is the fulcrum point
00:49:16.48\00:49:18.42
that separates both of these
00:49:18.45\00:49:20.89
is somebody will say,
well, he didn't mention that
00:49:20.92\00:49:23.66
or he didn't mention this.
00:49:23.69\00:49:25.09
Well, it's not possible
00:49:25.13\00:49:26.46
to treat a topic
of this magnitude
00:49:26.49\00:49:29.00
with the full
relevance that it needs
00:49:29.03\00:49:31.50
within the timeframe we have.
00:49:31.53\00:49:33.70
But I wanna
encourage you to do this,
00:49:33.74\00:49:35.44
that Greg talked about this.
00:49:35.47\00:49:38.84
I did preach this
sermon on at our church,
00:49:38.87\00:49:42.14
part one and part two.
00:49:42.18\00:49:43.75
So if you don't mind,
00:49:43.78\00:49:45.11
I could just
mention the website.
00:49:45.15\00:49:46.48
Is that okay?
00:49:46.51\00:49:47.85
You can go and
see the full sermon.
00:49:47.88\00:49:49.22
Please do it.
00:49:49.25\00:49:50.59
If you go to our church website,
00:49:50.62\00:49:51.95
tvsdac.org
00:49:51.99\00:49:54.86
That's where it
said Thompsonville,
00:49:54.89\00:49:56.26
which is like television,
00:49:56.29\00:49:57.63
sdac.org
00:49:57.66\00:49:59.29
And there you'll
click on past sermons
00:49:59.33\00:50:01.23
and you'll see mark
of the beast part one
00:50:01.26\00:50:02.66
and part two.
00:50:02.70\00:50:04.17
And those, we did
dealt with that in two hours.
00:50:04.20\00:50:07.07
Yeah.
00:50:07.10\00:50:08.44
So I had quite a
bit more detail then,
00:50:08.47\00:50:09.80
which still wasn't
a full treatment of it
00:50:09.84\00:50:11.67
because it's a
magnificent topic.
00:50:11.71\00:50:13.27
It is.
00:50:13.31\00:50:14.64
It's one that we have
to present faithfully.
00:50:14.68\00:50:16.64
Yes.
00:50:16.68\00:50:18.01
But we have to do it humbly
00:50:18.05\00:50:19.38
and we have to do
it with consideration
00:50:19.41\00:50:20.75
that it affects everyone.
00:50:20.78\00:50:22.12
So this topic is
not gonna be presented
00:50:22.15\00:50:24.55
zeroing in on any
particular group of people,
00:50:24.59\00:50:27.72
but it's gonna be
dealing with the topic
00:50:27.76\00:50:29.22
as the Bible presents it
00:50:29.26\00:50:31.03
because the Lord
is not willing that
00:50:31.06\00:50:32.39
any should perish,
00:50:32.43\00:50:33.76
but He does in the
revelation of Jesus
00:50:33.80\00:50:35.86
present two opposing
forces in the closing earth's...
00:50:35.90\00:50:38.93
Closing hours of
the earth's history.
00:50:38.97\00:50:40.77
And we're gonna find out today
00:50:40.80\00:50:42.74
something more about
the mark of the beast
00:50:42.77\00:50:45.57
than just the mark of the beast.
00:50:45.61\00:50:47.38
I'll leave there.
00:50:47.41\00:50:48.74
So you think it's important now
00:50:48.78\00:50:50.91
because we've heard
for hundreds of years,
00:50:50.95\00:50:53.21
everybody has
theirs, but you think it's,
00:50:53.25\00:50:56.05
you have
information from the Bible
00:50:56.08\00:50:58.55
that's important
00:50:58.59\00:50:59.92
that people need to hear
now more than ever before?
00:50:59.95\00:51:02.16
True.
00:51:02.19\00:51:03.53
And you know, the
amazing thing about it, Danny,
00:51:03.56\00:51:05.09
it's always been there,
00:51:05.13\00:51:06.80
but the Lord
tapped me on the forehead
00:51:06.83\00:51:08.83
when I was
studying for this topic
00:51:08.86\00:51:11.03
and we've had an intense
topic subject here at 3ABN
00:51:11.07\00:51:13.80
to say the least,
00:51:13.84\00:51:15.77
but He tapped me on the forehead
00:51:15.80\00:51:17.14
and I stopped
working on my sermon
00:51:17.17\00:51:19.27
and I went to Angie
and I said, she said,
00:51:19.31\00:51:22.64
"Well, you're supposed to
be working on your sermon."
00:51:22.68\00:51:24.98
I said, "The
Lord told me to stop."
00:51:25.01\00:51:26.35
He said, I could hear
him audibly in my mind say
00:51:26.38\00:51:28.68
stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:51:28.72\00:51:32.25
He said,
00:51:32.29\00:51:33.62
"You're going too fast.
00:51:33.66\00:51:35.29
You know this topic so well,
you're missing a whole lot."
00:51:35.32\00:51:38.49
Okay. Stop, stop, stop.
00:51:38.53\00:51:41.20
That's big.
00:51:41.23\00:51:42.56
The law, the most
dangerous thing in life
00:51:42.60\00:51:45.83
is to be
familiar with something.
00:51:45.87\00:51:48.57
You take it for granted
00:51:48.60\00:51:49.94
and you think
you've seen all of it.
00:51:49.97\00:51:51.67
And so when I did that
and I went back and prayed
00:51:51.71\00:51:54.64
as I sat at my computer
00:51:54.68\00:51:56.38
and I go to bed till
like 10 minutes to four,
00:51:56.41\00:51:58.21
Friday night in the
morning, Sabbath morning,
00:51:58.25\00:52:00.65
but I had all
the energy I needed.
00:52:00.68\00:52:02.02
I wasn't even tired at all.
00:52:02.05\00:52:03.59
The joy of the
Lord is my strength.
00:52:03.62\00:52:06.02
And I saw things
00:52:06.05\00:52:07.96
in the familiar
places Pastor Dinzey,
00:52:07.99\00:52:09.82
that we've talked
about Daniel and Revelation
00:52:09.86\00:52:12.36
and other parts of the Bible.
00:52:12.39\00:52:13.73
And all of a sudden,
00:52:13.76\00:52:15.10
the Bible
exploded in brilliance.
00:52:15.13\00:52:17.13
And I started
thinking unbelievable.
00:52:17.17\00:52:19.97
And I came back to
the room and I said,
00:52:20.00\00:52:21.34
"Angie, it's
larger than we think.
00:52:21.37\00:52:23.10
It's much more
magnificent than we think."
00:52:23.14\00:52:26.47
And I wanna say,
I thank God for men
00:52:26.51\00:52:27.94
that take their
time like my good friend,
00:52:27.98\00:52:30.05
Dr. Ranko Stefanovic,
00:52:30.08\00:52:31.68
a professor of
New Testament theology
00:52:31.71\00:52:34.35
who has...
00:52:34.38\00:52:36.69
We have a friendship
that has allowed me to call
00:52:36.72\00:52:40.39
and ask him questions.
00:52:40.42\00:52:42.16
And I have such respect
00:52:42.19\00:52:44.09
for his integrity of scriptures.
00:52:44.13\00:52:45.83
And I wanna just share
00:52:45.86\00:52:47.20
with what God has
been revealing to me
00:52:47.23\00:52:49.00
through study
00:52:49.03\00:52:50.37
and through 34
years of ministry.
00:52:50.40\00:52:51.73
And it's finally coming.
00:52:51.77\00:52:53.20
It's amazing how long it takes,
00:52:53.23\00:52:55.00
but I wanna use this
not as a tongue and cheek,
00:52:55.04\00:52:57.57
but we are coming
into sharper focus.
00:52:57.61\00:53:00.28
And that's the...
00:53:00.31\00:53:01.84
That's why I love that topic.
00:53:01.88\00:53:03.21
You know, my
website is sharper focus,
00:53:03.24\00:53:06.08
but that's what we're gonna do
00:53:06.11\00:53:08.55
the second half of the program
00:53:08.58\00:53:10.59
is talk about
what God has revealed.
00:53:10.62\00:53:12.99
And I'm gonna get to
the nitty-gritty of it,
00:53:13.02\00:53:18.59
to the cellular
part of the topic.
00:53:18.63\00:53:20.70
And then for those
who have questions,
00:53:20.73\00:53:23.00
we'll be able to treat those
by email and things like that.
00:53:23.03\00:53:25.33
Yeah. That's good.
00:53:25.37\00:53:26.70
It's bigger than we think. Yeah.
00:53:26.74\00:53:28.07
It's so important
to really dig deeply,
00:53:28.10\00:53:30.57
you know, there's
that surface study
00:53:30.61\00:53:33.44
and then
there's that deep study.
00:53:33.48\00:53:35.34
And so we're just very thankful
for your depth of knowledge.
00:53:35.38\00:53:39.05
And one of the things we'd like
to say to our viewers at home,
00:53:39.08\00:53:42.25
when you study something
like this mark of the beast,
00:53:42.28\00:53:46.09
I mean, it's a
major study that again,
00:53:46.12\00:53:49.19
that we're not
talking about people,
00:53:49.22\00:53:51.36
we're not, we may
talk about organizations
00:53:51.39\00:53:54.63
but we don't talk about,
God has people in all churches.
00:53:54.66\00:53:57.40
Right.
00:53:57.43\00:53:58.77
So we, those of us here,
00:53:58.80\00:54:00.14
we're Seventh-day
Adventist Christians,
00:54:00.17\00:54:01.54
we're well enough.
00:54:01.57\00:54:03.34
We know well enough
00:54:03.37\00:54:04.71
that God has people in
many different churches
00:54:04.74\00:54:07.48
around the world.
00:54:07.51\00:54:08.84
That's right.
00:54:08.88\00:54:10.21
There will some be, some
people that'll make it to heaven
00:54:10.25\00:54:11.58
who've never set
foot in a church.
00:54:11.61\00:54:12.95
We know that from
the thief on the cross
00:54:12.98\00:54:15.68
and other situations.
00:54:15.72\00:54:17.32
So we're not here
to set in judgment
00:54:17.35\00:54:20.19
and to say and the
pastors not gonna say,
00:54:20.22\00:54:22.49
look what I'm doing and
look what you're not doing.
00:54:22.52\00:54:25.29
This is literally,
00:54:25.33\00:54:26.73
it's to open our
eyes to really understand
00:54:26.76\00:54:30.17
how close we are living
00:54:30.20\00:54:31.63
to the closing
moments of earth's history.
00:54:31.67\00:54:33.77
Things that have
happened just in the last year,
00:54:33.80\00:54:37.17
two years to three years,
00:54:37.21\00:54:39.24
only five years
ago in your preaching.
00:54:39.27\00:54:42.48
It was just
something for the future.
00:54:42.51\00:54:44.71
Now we're living
it. We're living it.
00:54:44.75\00:54:46.92
So to understand the
times in which we're living.
00:54:46.95\00:54:49.35
So we wanna make
sure that everybody knows.
00:54:49.38\00:54:51.69
We know that God has
people in all churches,
00:54:51.72\00:54:54.92
but God also has truth
that many of us don't know.
00:54:54.96\00:54:58.13
It says, now we see
through a glass darkly,
00:54:58.16\00:55:00.90
then we shall see face to face.
00:55:00.93\00:55:02.90
But I believe God
expects each and every one of us
00:55:02.93\00:55:06.97
as truth is presented.
00:55:07.00\00:55:08.90
Now it's up to us.
00:55:08.94\00:55:10.77
If we love the Lord, He says,
00:55:10.81\00:55:12.27
"If you love Me, you
keep My commandments."
00:55:12.31\00:55:13.81
If you love
Jesus, you'll follow Him.
00:55:13.84\00:55:15.98
Then he says, "Go and
tell what I've done for you."
00:55:16.01\00:55:18.15
So I think as Christians,
it's our responsibility,
00:55:18.18\00:55:21.72
it's a privilege, but
to be able to be tutored,
00:55:21.75\00:55:24.35
to be taught, to
learn not only from our own,
00:55:24.39\00:55:28.39
but from those who have
spent years of their lives,
00:55:28.42\00:55:31.53
studying the gospel.
00:55:31.56\00:55:33.29
Jill, I include you in that.
00:55:33.33\00:55:34.86
I learned so much
00:55:34.90\00:55:36.23
from your Sabbath School lessons
00:55:36.26\00:55:37.73
and from your
sermons that you give
00:55:37.77\00:55:39.67
that we can learn from others.
00:55:39.70\00:55:42.10
So we're privileged that
you and Angie you're here
00:55:42.14\00:55:44.61
all these years
for what you've done
00:55:44.64\00:55:46.51
and your dedication.
00:55:46.54\00:55:48.01
And so what I'd like to do
is we're gonna take a break.
00:55:48.04\00:55:51.15
And right after that,
we're gonna come back.
00:55:51.18\00:55:53.15
We're gonna hit
this incredible topic,
00:55:53.18\00:55:55.68
the mark of the beast.
00:55:55.72\00:55:57.05
Thank you, Greg and
Jill for being here.
00:55:57.09\00:55:58.65
It's a big
surprise, I had no idea.
00:55:58.69\00:56:01.62
You said while ago, we're gonna
take or you set a right turn.
00:56:01.66\00:56:04.99
Yes. And I go,
where are we going?
00:56:05.03\00:56:06.83
That's okay. That's all right.
00:56:06.86\00:56:08.26
I'm with you. I trust you.
00:56:08.30\00:56:09.63
But I didn't know
we were going anywhere.
00:56:09.66\00:56:11.60
It felt a little
awkward because you're hosting
00:56:11.63\00:56:13.44
and so it's like we
were hijacking the host.
00:56:13.47\00:56:15.50
Yeah. It was great.
00:56:15.54\00:56:17.24
Thank you for all the
birthday wishes of 70,
00:56:17.27\00:56:20.31
but I'm still like a day or two,
00:56:20.34\00:56:21.68
a couple of days away.
00:56:21.71\00:56:23.04
You are. That's right.
00:56:23.08\00:56:24.41
Nineteenth, whatever,
the 19th or whatever of this.
00:56:24.45\00:56:26.28
So I'm still a few days.
00:56:26.31\00:56:29.02
Yeah.
00:56:29.05\00:56:30.39
I'm still in this one,
but I'll appreciate it.
00:56:30.42\00:56:32.95
Now, thank you so much.
00:56:32.99\00:56:34.49
Pastor Johnny, we
got a minute and so left.
00:56:34.52\00:56:36.96
Could you say a prayer for us
00:56:36.99\00:56:38.56
and for God's
blessings on this next hour?
00:56:38.59\00:56:41.00
Sure.
00:56:41.03\00:56:42.36
Let's go to the Lord in prayer.
00:56:42.40\00:56:44.30
Our loving heavenly Father,

to understand the
message for this hour.
00:57:10.33\00:57:13.36
Lord, there are many doctrines
that are blowing about,
00:57:13.40\00:57:17.57
many people
claiming to be prophets,
00:57:17.60\00:57:20.04
but we pray that
00:57:20.07\00:57:21.40
as the scriptures are presented,
00:57:21.44\00:57:24.01
the people will
accept a thus saith the Lord.
00:57:24.04\00:57:26.34
That's right.
00:57:26.37\00:57:27.71
We pray for a blessing upon all,
00:57:27.74\00:57:29.08
and we ask it in Jesus' name.
00:57:29.11\00:57:30.71
Amen. Okay.
