Rather. 00:01:59.41\00:02:03.52 I have you and let me. Yeah. Haha. I love that. You know, 00:02:03.52\00:02:10.03 used to flee Skype. We had would put a picture up or 00:02:10.03\00:02:13.19 something while someone talk now you're just like you right 00:02:13.19\00:02:16.30 here with us. He's at the other end of the table. We love it. 00:02:16.30\00:02:19.87 He couldn't be here. But you're going to be here next week or 00:02:19.87\00:02:21.94 so, right? You guys start some 7 school programs and all of 00:02:21.94\00:02:25.84 that. So we love it. When you re see or hear and we're going 00:02:25.84\00:02:29.58 to be doing can't meeting ending starting June 5th. 00:02:29.58\00:02:31.71 So put that on your calendar and get ready for that. That 00:02:31.71\00:02:35.22 reminded me of all the folks that are going to be coming 00:02:35.22\00:02:37.85 here. We're going to have great camp meeting room and we're 00:02:37.85\00:02:40.46 going to start out Wednesday night, actually with the Larry 00:02:40.46\00:02:42.89 Gatlin and is to be Larry Gatlin. You know, the Gatlin 00:02:42.89\00:02:46.93 brothers Friday. Still, Larry has been saying in the family, 00:02:46.93\00:02:50.10 they still say he's a Christian, given his life to 00:02:50.10\00:02:52.57 the Lord, got a great testimony. So he's going to be 00:02:52.57\00:02:55.20 here 6 o'clock Wednesday evening. And that's June the 00:02:55.20\00:02:59.34 5th. So that's first night of camp meeting. So I know we're 00:02:59.34\00:03:01.91 going have a lot of people. So come come quick, come early. 00:03:01.91\00:03:05.18 So you get a seat, enjoy the blessings of camp. Many will be 00:03:05.18\00:03:08.78 there throughout the week. So we're looking forward to 00:03:08.78\00:03:11.55 that then. Also before we get on our topics, going to be a 00:03:11.55\00:03:15.32 hot topic tonight. So we're going talk politics. How about 00:03:15.32\00:03:19.09 that? Who are always? So we try to stay. You try to stay away 00:03:19.09\00:03:21.96 from dry. Sometimes you can help it. So let me rephrase 00:03:21.96\00:03:26.60 that. We're going talk Bible, alright, and taught Bible. 00:03:26.60\00:03:29.94 If you want to talk politics, you can talk politics, but 00:03:29.94\00:03:32.97 we're going talk Bible. Well, that's all that we believe in 00:03:32.97\00:03:35.88 is what the Bible says. We really don't care what politics 00:03:35.88\00:03:39.28 with the on the left or the right or somewhere in between. 00:03:39.28\00:03:42.28 We're just worried about and concerned about what God says. 00:03:42.28\00:03:45.89 And we want to be one of those and that number, wait eastern 00:03:45.89\00:03:49.59 skies break and we can look up and say low. This is our about 00:03:49.59\00:03:52.66 whom we waited for. He has come to say this. Pastor James, 00:03:52.66\00:03:56.60 again, it's so good to have you here. And we when we do topics 00:03:56.60\00:04:02.14 like this, I really want you to be around because I look at 00:04:02.14\00:04:05.81 whether James is more of a he's scholarly. I'm not. So he's 00:04:05.81\00:04:10.01 very organized. He's very studied. He's been studying 00:04:10.01\00:04:13.35 this message and we're going to be talking about in time. 00:04:13.35\00:04:16.15 Prophecies were going to be talking about things. I think 00:04:16.15\00:04:18.35 we put the title. Can Christians enforce morality or 00:04:18.35\00:04:21.49 maybe should Christians tried of force morality? So you can 00:04:21.49\00:04:25.09 say why say politics? Because somebody is going to say all 00:04:25.09\00:04:28.23 they're going to the laughter, they're going to the right and 00:04:28.23\00:04:30.87 we may talk about. And I think we will. I think we'll talk 00:04:30.87\00:04:33.40 about some of the things on both sides tonight, but we're 00:04:33.40\00:04:36.17 going to end up somewhere in between right with the word of 00:04:36.17\00:04:39.07 God. So thank you again, Pastor James, for being here. God 00:04:39.07\00:04:42.64 bless you and race for what you all do for the cause of got. 00:04:42.64\00:04:46.18 Now before we get started, we have a brand new project, 00:04:46.18\00:04:49.35 a van, and that is the book can can the Christian Church affirm 00:04:49.35\00:04:54.42 LGBTQ the one that we're to spin out several months? 00:04:54.42\00:04:59.19 We we we've got a plan for that brother, James. And that plan 00:04:59.19\00:05:02.80 is we want that book to go to every Christian pastor, every 00:05:02.80\00:05:07.97 pastor and America. 00:05:07.97\00:05:10.57 And so everyone in America, every denomination of every 00:05:10.57\00:05:13.94 denomination. So we're going to start out. We're starting out 00:05:13.94\00:05:17.35 this week and putting things together. I think they're 00:05:17.35\00:05:19.81 72,000 Baptist churches and the United States. So we're 00:05:19.81\00:05:24.29 starting out with getting addresses together. We have to 00:05:24.29\00:05:27.29 get the name lists all of this little expensive to get the 00:05:27.29\00:05:30.83 list of, you know, all of those pastors then do the mailing. 00:05:30.83\00:05:34.56 We're going to send books virtually to every pastor. 00:05:34.56\00:05:37.80 Then we're going on to the other denominations from 00:05:37.80\00:05:40.64 Catholic to Methodist to whatever. And I'm sure the math 00:05:40.64\00:05:44.54 there's we probably should do those first. I think 6,000 00:05:44.54\00:05:47.31 churches split because of that topic, really about the LGBTQ 00:05:47.31\00:05:52.28 movement within the church. But this is something. So what 00:05:52.28\00:05:55.28 we're gonna do it on, how can folks tonight we're asking if 00:05:55.28\00:05:59.05 you would like to make a donation to help us get is 00:05:59.05\00:06:02.36 going to be several. Hundreds of thousands of these books 00:06:02.36\00:06:05.46 will go to virtually every pastor and America. If you want 00:06:05.46\00:06:10.63 willing to help with that, give a tax deductible donation, 00:06:10.63\00:06:13.70 how how can they do it? 00:06:13.70\00:06:14.87 >> Well, they can, first of all call because they're people 00:06:14.87\00:06:19.77 tonight in the call center waiting for your calls.

Actually you can 00:06:37.39\00:06:41.83 order. 00:06:41.83\00:06:42.86 >> Make the order to sponsor that these books tonight 00:06:42.86\00:06:46.50 because we need sponsor. Yeah.

So whatever you 00:06:51.44\00:06:54.21 can get, whether it's $5 or 505,000 will be appreciated. 00:06:54.21\00:06:58.88 But I think this is a big enough topic within the 00:06:58.88\00:07:02.05 Christian community that this NIE, every pastor needs to have 00:07:02.05\00:07:06.45 some ammunition. I'm going to call up biblical ammunition us 00:07:06.45\00:07:09.92 as to how to to look at this and responsibly and say, 00:07:09.92\00:07:14.30 you know, I can see what the Bible says and it's up to him 00:07:14.30\00:07:17.23 to decide how he wants to preach it. But I think it's up 00:07:17.23\00:07:19.80 to us to get the Gospel get the truth. 00:07:19.80\00:07:22.24 >> To the world. So and it would use fund code 3.50, 00:07:22.24\00:07:25.84 fun code 3.50, OK, if anybody asked whoever you can color is 00:07:25.84\00:07:30.15 there on the Web sites on the Web site how they do it 00:07:30.15\00:07:32.81 tonight. So if they go to the website, they says okay, 00:07:32.81\00:07:36.28 so they can order but it's fund 3.50. They'll see the numbers. 00:07:36.28\00:07:39.62 The options. They're okay. Just choose fund 3.50. Okay. 00:07:39.62\00:07:43.22 Yeah. And and they can email that says live at 3 ABN dot 00:07:43.22\00:07:47.03 TVs, right? Yes. Or just call it that. You know all too 00:07:47.03\00:07:50.83 complicated. Now with all that up on your screen to okay, 00:07:50.83\00:07:54.07 618-627-4651, and a. 00:07:54.07\00:07:58.91 >> Don't you wish Greg and Joe was here. So good at what I 00:07:58.91\00:08:01.64 know. I can certainly not very good stuff. She's so organize. 00:08:01.64\00:08:06.41 You think choice and I'm not no. See what really? I caught 00:08:06.41\00:08:13.29 myself looking down the phone number that her almost 40 00:08:13.29\00:08:16.46 years. Haha. That's right. Absolutely. Yeah. So in a way, 00:08:16.46\00:08:21.16 if you like on Sir, help us sponsor these books to go to 00:08:21.16\00:08:25.30 virtually every pastor and America was starting out with 00:08:25.30\00:08:28.40 this 72,000. That is money comes in. We're going to get 00:08:28.40\00:08:31.81 all the churches. So if the lords impressing on you then 00:08:31.81\00:08:35.28 call and email us go to our website and how we want to do 00:08:35.28\00:08:38.98 it and then use code 3.50, for your donation and you'll get a 00:08:38.98\00:08:42.68 tax deductible yet what I want to do, maybe set the stage a 00:08:42.68\00:08:46.79 little bit. I want to give a little bit of the State of the 00:08:46.79\00:08:49.39 Union, the president of the United States. You know, 00:08:49.39\00:08:51.46 one he's up speaking about once a year ever so often gives the 00:08:51.46\00:08:55.23 state of the Union. Well, I'm not President United States 00:08:55.23\00:08:58.50 don't want to be glad I'm not. And but what I would like to do 00:08:58.50\00:09:02.34 is kind of give a little bit in summary here. So you all and 00:09:02.34\00:09:06.27 because this is you can tell that we haven't planned 00:09:06.27\00:09:08.34 everything out, but I've said hears the topics. You guys go 00:09:08.34\00:09:11.35 for the van, you, Tony. And so we're going to do this 00:09:11.35\00:09:14.92 together. And we've asked the Lord to bless, but I want to 00:09:14.92\00:09:17.62 say to begin with, if I could give a state of the church 00:09:17.62\00:09:20.92 right now, it would be a mess. 00:09:20.92\00:09:24.29 So that's my nutshell. The church, God is a mess. Now we 00:09:24.29\00:09:28.93 want to talk about and this good so talked rail tonight. 00:09:28.93\00:09:31.83 We're just going to do this to begin with and my age. I don't 00:09:31.83\00:09:34.77 have time to wait to put things off new, you know, for a later 00:09:34.77\00:09:38.47 time, Reince Young, as you are in kind of straight. I got to 00:09:38.47\00:09:42.14 throw it all out here, what I can. But if you look at the 00:09:42.14\00:09:45.61 state of the church, 00:09:45.61\00:09:47.35 the Jays, this is coming back for a pair of 5 bride of 00:09:47.35\00:09:49.88 purified church, a remnant people of God, those who keep 00:09:49.88\00:09:53.82 the commandments of God and have the faith of the testimony 00:09:53.82\00:09:56.62 of Jesus, right? That's where he's coming back for. But do 00:09:56.62\00:09:59.33 you think right now that we're waiting on Jesus to come back 00:09:59.33\00:10:03.13 and you think he's waiting on us to perfect his character 00:10:03.13\00:10:06.40 within our lives so he can come back for that Pier 5 ride that 00:10:06.40\00:10:10.17 purify the church? I think it's for the latter. Don't you know 00:10:10.17\00:10:13.34 that Jesus is waiting on us? Because we're divided. We're 00:10:13.34\00:10:16.31 divided by race or divide about culture. We're divided by 00:10:16.31\00:10:20.25 politics. All kinds of things within the church. I'm amazed 00:10:20.25\00:10:24.59 when you go on Facebook, I say Adventists Christian against 00:10:24.59\00:10:28.62 Adventists Christian literally on Facebook. So Yahoo. We're 00:10:28.62\00:10:34.20 and some music from somewhere hope that doesn't distract you 00:10:34.20\00:10:37.33 and so on on Facebook, people are like disagreeing and some 00:10:37.33\00:10:44.11 some Christians are on this side of the left side summer on 00:10:44.11\00:10:46.94 the right side. And it's like what the world is going on, 00:10:46.94\00:10:50.85 where people, you know, where we're coming from and what kind 00:10:50.85\00:10:54.55 of witnesses this to last and I'm world. So when I say that, 00:10:54.55\00:10:59.89 you know, we're we're in a mask. That's what I'm talking 00:10:59.89\00:11:02.76 about. I believe that that were already in the shaking. It 00:11:02.76\00:11:06.59 started in. The good news is we don't have to stay this way. 00:11:06.59\00:11:09.83 There's going to be a great revival coming. There's going 00:11:09.83\00:11:12.03 to be a latter rain coming. But before that happens, 00:11:12.03\00:11:15.10 we have to have conversations like we're going to have 00:11:15.10\00:11:17.17 tonight, even at the expense of maybe offending someone. 00:11:17.17\00:11:21.51 We're going to have to do that to get so everything out in the 00:11:21.51\00:11:24.55 open. So we can say, Lord, how you're going to hill this, 00:11:24.55\00:11:27.45 how you're going to heal us if my people will come right, 00:11:27.45\00:11:30.69 you know, skip your how you going to do this. Well, first 00:11:30.69\00:11:33.79 of all, we have to be open. We have to be willing and we 00:11:33.79\00:11:37.19 have to have to put the Bible before any politics, any 00:11:37.19\00:11:41.46 culture. 00:11:41.46\00:11:42.93 >> Any race that has to come first? May I read the 00:11:42.93\00:11:45.37 scripture? Yeah. 00:11:45.37\00:11:48.70 >> Because of the church is divided and Jesus in John 17. 00:11:48.70\00:11:53.98 So I do not pray for these along, but also for those who 00:11:53.98\00:11:57.11 will believe in me through their word that they may all be 00:11:57.11\00:12:00.95 one as you father are in me. And I in you 00:12:00.95\00:12:05.69 that they also may be one in us that the world may believe that 00:12:05.69\00:12:10.06 you sent me right now. We're so divided that the world can look 00:12:10.06\00:12:14.63 on. Look at the church and say 00:12:14.63\00:12:17.47 this is not if this is what Christianity is about, then I 00:12:17.47\00:12:22.00 don't want to impart any part of it because we are not one 00:12:22.00\00:12:26.14 because the devil is really, really working hard to divide 00:12:26.14\00:12:30.71 us. And we have to look globally. We have to look at 00:12:30.71\00:12:33.62 the big picture and not just 00:12:33.62\00:12:36.42 itemize things, but look at it from a spiritual place. And 00:12:36.42\00:12:39.82 that's both places say the devil is trying to deceive even 00:12:39.82\00:12:43.56 the very lead. So if we don't come together to the word of 00:12:43.56\00:12:48.90 God, that's why it's great that we're doing this program. 00:12:48.90\00:12:51.70 And again, there might be some people who are funded because 00:12:51.70\00:12:55.54 it's going to step on toes. But 00:12:55.54\00:12:57.84 >> we have to get to that place where we are one in Christ. 00:12:57.84\00:13:01.34 But if you call man, you're a Christian, you call me or text 00:13:01.34\00:13:04.18 me or e-mail or whatever. And you say you're offended. 00:13:04.18\00:13:06.75 >> I'm going to say look up sums one six-man 19, one 65 00:13:06.75\00:13:10.65 great piece. Have they add to all and nothing shallow about 00:13:10.65\00:13:14.22 that? Be able to forget about ourselves, right? Not be 00:13:14.22\00:13:19.03 offended. So we have a great I do want to call it an advantage 00:13:19.03\00:13:23.26 because it's for everyone. But we have 00:13:23.26\00:13:26.07 been able to do God's blessings. Hayes allowed 00:13:26.07\00:13:30.64 Leonard a church to really unlock the prophecies of Daniel 00:13:30.64\00:13:35.04 revelation. So there's no reason for us to be confused. 00:13:35.04\00:13:39.41 There's no reason with those of us Christians who understand 00:13:39.41\00:13:42.78 prophecy. So what we want to talk about tonight is we want 00:13:42.78\00:13:46.76 to talk about where are we? Where is America and prophecy, 00:13:46.76\00:13:52.09 whereas American prophecy and is it even can we look at these 00:13:52.09\00:13:56.73 books written thousands of years ago, Ryan and James, 00:13:56.73\00:13:59.90 can we look at him and say, OK, let's say, I think that's 00:13:59.90\00:14:02.77 America and then some all well know, maybe this or maybe it's 00:14:02.77\00:14:06.64 not even in there. Can we actually show from the Bible 00:14:06.64\00:14:11.01 America and processing of this? So can we get an idea of where 00:14:11.01\00:14:14.98 we are and that timeline? 00:14:14.98\00:14:17.65 All right. And that. 00:14:17.65\00:14:18.95 >> There's 2 scriptures that we can look at for this. One of 00:14:18.95\00:14:21.76 them is in revelation 13 and the other one is Romans 13. 00:14:21.76\00:14:24.66 So really easy. Remember because both of them are 00:14:24.66\00:14:27.23 chapter Thirteen's. We can start in revelation 13 as far 00:14:27.23\00:14:31.13 as trying to identify where we are in Bible prophecy and and 00:14:31.13\00:14:35.84 look and see in the context of the Bible. What our present 00:14:35.84\00:14:40.28 situation is based on the history behind us. So can we 00:14:40.28\00:14:44.28 start their relationship is the time to time. So, yeah, 00:14:44.28\00:14:47.92 OK, revelation 13. Let's just begin here with this picture 00:14:47.92\00:14:52.65 that we have in revelation, 13 of beasts. There's 2 of them 00:14:52.65\00:14:56.06 picture there. There's a beast that comes out of the sea and 00:14:56.06\00:14:59.56 as a beast that comes out of the earth and in Bible 00:14:59.56\00:15:03.37 prophecy, a beast represents a kingdom or power or thinking 00:15:03.37\00:15:06.50 the more power and God is using the same type of imagery that 00:15:06.50\00:15:09.80 we are familiar with. We often identify nations are kingdoms 00:15:09.80\00:15:14.71 with cymbals obese like America is in eagle and China is a 00:15:14.71\00:15:18.38 dragon in England. There's a lion and brushes and they're so 00:15:18.38\00:15:23.08 there's a language for us. These to be some revelation 00:15:23.08\00:15:26.52 chapter 13 east toque earthly powers come up from different 00:15:26.52\00:15:30.43 places. Now the first one comes up out of the sea, which 00:15:30.43\00:15:33.63 represents peoples nations multitudes in towns populated 00:15:33.63\00:15:37.03 area of the world. According to Revelation, 17, 15 see that 00:15:37.03\00:15:41.50 Daniel 7, 17 23 to tell us a beast represents an earthly 00:15:41.50\00:15:45.77 power. You've got revelation 17, 15 that tells us that 00:15:45.77\00:15:49.81 water's represent people's Nations mall too. Sometimes 00:15:49.81\00:15:53.28 this first beast we've identified Prophetically as the 00:15:53.28\00:15:57.49 religious power of the papacy. Roman, the Roman power of the 00:15:57.49\00:16:01.69 papacy, which rose up in the sequence, a battle on media 00:16:01.69\00:16:05.53 pressure. Greece and pagan Roman sat it occupies the seat. 00:16:05.53\00:16:10.20 A pagan Roman pagan. Rome fell in 4.76. papal wrong rose up 00:16:10.20\00:16:14.64 out of the ashes of that pagan system. And it established 00:16:14.64\00:16:17.97 itself as a world power, a viable world power. That power 00:16:17.97\00:16:22.18 lasted for about 1260 years from 5.38. To 17. 98. When I 00:16:22.18\00:16:27.95 say last night, I mean, it's no longer around. Of course it is. 00:16:27.95\00:16:31.89 But with strong civil authority, it bit began rain. 00:16:31.89\00:16:37.43 5.38 and it received a deadly wounded. 17 98 now with that 00:16:37.43\00:16:42.53 history in our background, let's just read revelation 00:16:42.53\00:16:46.13 chapter 13 and verse tent revelation 13 verse 10. Here's 00:16:46.13\00:16:50.71 what it says. He that leads into captivity show go into 00:16:50.71\00:16:54.34 captivity. He that kills with the sword will be killed with a 00:16:54.34\00:16:57.78 sword. Here is the patience and faith of the Saints. This is 00:16:57.78\00:17:02.08 describing what happened in 17, 98 for CA and the French 00:17:02.08\00:17:07.06 government went into wrong and took the poll captive. They led 00:17:07.06\00:17:11.69 him into captivity were eventually died February 17, 00:17:11.69\00:17:15.23 98. 00:17:15.23\00:17:16.46 And that is what the Bible calls in revelation, 13, 00:17:16.46\00:17:19.23 3, a deadly wound, a wound that would eventually be healed when 00:17:19.23\00:17:24.41 the how are the civil power of the papacy is restored. Now, 00:17:24.41\00:17:27.81 the papacy wasn't vanquished completely. It's still 00:17:27.81\00:17:30.45 maintained its crazy a** tickle power and authority, but it's 00:17:30.45\00:17:33.75 civil power was wounded. Now in that context, 17, 00:17:33.75\00:17:37.72 98, you see something really interesting happening. And this 00:17:37.72\00:17:40.66 is going to be clue number one, but identifies the United 00:17:40.66\00:17:43.76 States in Bible prophecy. OK, man, that clue is that in a 00:17:43.76\00:17:47.66 rose at the right time, right when the papacy was going down, 00:17:47.66\00:17:52.10 another nation was coming up. Notice verse 11 of Revelation 00:17:52.10\00:17:56.07 Chapter 13 00:17:56.07\00:17:58.61 and another ID held. Another beast coming up out of the 00:17:58.61\00:18:01.48 earth yet to ones like a land and he spake as a dragon. 00:18:01.48\00:18:05.65 So here we have a power that is rising up right when the papacy 00:18:05.65\00:18:10.62 is going down 17. 98 is when the papacy went down and 17. 00:18:10.62\00:18:14.52 76 is when we began to arise. Now, of course, America didn't 00:18:14.52\00:18:18.89 gain its independence for another 8 years. It was in 00:18:18.89\00:18:21.66 weight war with the British from 17, all 17. 73 or so 00:18:21.66\00:18:28.44 stymied. 75 or so. So 17 73 17. 74 was our 84 83. 84. It was 00:18:28.44\00:18:34.94 all clear. So we have the rise in America. In fact, even 00:18:34.94\00:18:38.91 fought another battle with the British in 18, 12 to about 18, 00:18:38.91\00:18:42.58 15. But it's coming up as this other power is going down. 00:18:42.58\00:18:47.59 The other clue that's really significant here is that a rose 00:18:47.59\00:18:51.23 in the right place knows what it says, heroes out of the 00:18:51.23\00:18:53.80 earth. That's a less populated area of the world. The waters 00:18:53.80\00:18:58.70 represent people's nations. Well, too, sometimes the earth 00:18:58.70\00:19:01.94 would represent a less populated place of the world 00:19:01.94\00:19:05.81 include number 3, it's depicted as a nother beast. That means 00:19:05.81\00:19:09.11 it's a new nation. United States broke away from England 00:19:09.11\00:19:12.75 and all that European routes and eventually became a new 00:19:12.75\00:19:15.45 nation. A separate power include number 4. It is a 00:19:15.45\00:19:19.59 Democratic republic. This second beast has 2 horns, 00:19:19.59\00:19:23.59 but there's no crowns on them. This crowns on the boards of 00:19:23.59\00:19:26.23 the first beast, there's 10 ones with crowns. There's no 00:19:26.23\00:19:29.03 crowns on the second be. So it's a it's a new Democrat, 00:19:29.03\00:19:33.07 a Democratic republic who number 5. And this is really 00:19:33.07\00:19:36.71 the one that takes us to the time in which we live. It says 00:19:36.71\00:19:41.28 there in verse 12 that it would exercise all the power of the 00:19:41.28\00:19:45.45 first beast before him and caused the earth. And then 00:19:45.45\00:19:48.98 that, well, they run to worship. The first beast who is 00:19:48.98\00:19:51.95 dead. The wound was heal. So we can say without 00:19:51.95\00:19:54.32 hesitation here, there's never been a time in history. As far 00:19:54.32\00:19:58.13 as we know when America has been so to completely able to 00:19:58.13\00:20:02.13 fulfill this aspect of the prophecy, its worldwide 00:20:02.13\00:20:05.27 dominance, its worldwide strength, though, that is 00:20:05.27\00:20:08.04 winning somewhat. And the number 6 notice in verse 11, 00:20:08.04\00:20:12.17 it's a lab like our now in Bible prophecy, especially here 00:20:12.17\00:20:16.58 in Revelation, 13 lab like symbolizes Jesus. The whole 00:20:16.58\00:20:20.72 book of revelation begins by identifying the lamb as Jesus 00:20:20.72\00:20:23.79 Christ, who was slain. So this talks about Christian 00:20:23.79\00:20:27.29 qualities, this new powers to be a power that had Christian 00:20:27.29\00:20:31.46 qualities, a nation that exuded from its foundation, its roots, 00:20:31.46\00:20:37.27 the principles of liberty and freedom, religious liberty and 00:20:37.27\00:20:40.60 freedom and civil Liberty and Freedom. Jesus Christ came to 00:20:40.60\00:20:44.41 set us free to restore a nice the freedom of choice according 00:20:44.41\00:20:48.28 to John 8.36. And then number 7, this is the final clue. 00:20:48.28\00:20:52.88 This power is going to change in character from a lamb to a 00:20:52.88\00:20:56.95 dragon. It's going to I have 2 was like a lamb, but it's going 00:20:56.95\00:20:59.95 to speak like a dragon. Of course, the nation's speaks to 00:20:59.95\00:21:03.16 its legislative body. And so this prediction of Bible 00:21:03.16\00:21:06.39 prophecy that the nation of America is going to us what 00:21:06.39\00:21:09.16 that once embraced religious freedom, freedom of speech, 00:21:09.16\00:21:13.13 freedom of assembly, it was now going to become a persecutor 00:21:13.13\00:21:17.41 specifically of God's commandment up people as we'll 00:21:17.41\00:21:21.38 see when we compare this was a revelation 12 for 17. So one 00:21:21.38\00:21:26.55 point that I think it's really important for our viewers right 00:21:26.55\00:21:29.18 now. Danny Rind you on 00:21:29.18\00:21:31.92 to to recognize as we go into this program, that's this. 00:21:31.92\00:21:36.32 The United States rose to power when there was another kingdom, 00:21:36.32\00:21:39.86 the papacy that was wholly Christian and control lead the 00:21:39.86\00:21:44.67 world with its Christianity and United States broke free from 00:21:44.67\00:21:48.27 that. We're not going to do that. But it also rose to power 00:21:48.27\00:21:51.51 when there was another kingdom. I e atheist, France that was 00:21:51.51\00:21:55.14 seeking to throw got off to be completely secular and have no 00:21:55.14\00:21:59.35 religious boundaries whatsoever. The United States 00:21:59.35\00:22:02.42 walked right between those 2 powers. It did not force people 00:22:02.42\00:22:06.39 to worship. God did not force Christianity, young people. 00:22:06.39\00:22:09.52 And at the same time it did not throw got off altogether. 00:22:09.52\00:22:12.69 That is the route that is the history that's the foundation 00:22:12.69\00:22:15.86 of this country. And tonight as we talk about, is it important 00:22:15.86\00:22:20.10 or is it about right for Christians to enforce morality? 00:22:20.10\00:22:23.67 We're going to have to walk right between those 2 extremes. 00:22:23.67\00:22:27.18 Just like our founding fathers did in 17. 76 and on came out. 00:22:27.18\00:22:32.48 >> Ryan, right before you do for those of you at home, 00:22:32.48\00:22:34.65 if you would like to e-mail the U.S. questions in said I think 00:22:34.65\00:22:38.89 we can do that should put it up on the screen. You can e-mail 00:22:38.89\00:22:41.72 your questions live at 3 ABN DOT TV and they'll bring them 00:22:41.72\00:22:46.46 out to us and event. We're going to try to get through as 00:22:46.46\00:22:49.03 much as we can. It may be awhile before we get to the 00:22:49.03\00:22:51.57 questions. But at least you'll be we're going to be first come 00:22:51.57\00:22:54.84 first served. We already have a few. So I would like you to do 00:22:54.84\00:22:57.91 is call in your questions. Your comments. Thank you, 00:22:57.91\00:23:00.44 James. That was very clear and very helpful. 00:23:00.44\00:23:03.98 >> Ryan, what do you want to add to that? I don't know what 00:23:03.98\00:23:06.55 that I mean. That was pretty much revelation 13 in like 15 00:23:06.55\00:23:10.52 minutes. I know. I mean, just to just to echo what he said, 00:23:10.52\00:23:13.89 I think it's a spot on the see this first beast going down and 00:23:13.89\00:23:17.39 17. 98 to see the second beast coming up around the same time. 00:23:17.39\00:23:21.00 There's no other nation that fits the biblical description 00:23:21.00\00:23:23.87 and that of the United States of America. It's when you get 00:23:23.87\00:23:26.33 into these latter chap letter versus of revelation, 13 more 00:23:26.33\00:23:29.70 specifically revelation 12 and on where you see the second 00:23:29.70\00:23:33.61 beast exercising all the authority of the first beast, 00:23:33.61\00:23:36.58 this this kingdom or this nation that was essentially set 00:23:36.58\00:23:39.65 up as a as one Johnson. He described as being on land like 00:23:39.65\00:23:43.49 Christ, like with Christ, like Principles, a crisis like 00:23:43.49\00:23:47.12 character, at least in the beginning begins to take on the 00:23:47.12\00:23:50.43 change over time, which would eventually begins to speak as a 00:23:50.43\00:23:53.66 track in which we've already mentioned. I find that very 00:23:53.66\00:23:57.10 interesting because I believe we're living in those times. 00:23:57.10\00:23:59.13 I believe that our nation in the within the past couple of 00:23:59.13\00:24:02.84 decades has begun to show through its legislation and 00:24:02.84\00:24:06.57 through the nature of it of the changing morals that are very 00:24:06.57\00:24:10.45 much shifting in a different direction. The spiritual 00:24:10.45\00:24:15.02 temperature of this nation is screaming Dragon. The devil is 00:24:15.02\00:24:18.99 is that he is working harder than ever before to set the 00:24:18.99\00:24:22.82 stage for the final that's Bible prophecy. 00:24:22.82\00:24:26.23 >> In 1984, I didn't know anything about television ad 00:24:26.23\00:24:30.20 saying on it and traveled and my daughter a nice to go. 00:24:30.20\00:24:32.80 But I would always say, Lord, where are we a 7th day 00:24:32.80\00:24:35.90 Adventist in the media should maybe the heads and not details 00:24:35.90\00:24:39.77 that we have an entire message. The 3 Angeles messages, we have 00:24:39.77\00:24:43.11 an end-times message for an end times people. Why are we out 00:24:43.11\00:24:47.22 there on television on radio worldwide getting this message 00:24:47.22\00:24:51.95 out? Always thus, you know, with that thought about that. 00:24:51.95\00:24:55.22 And the Lord and Press made us and November November of 1984, 00:24:55.22\00:25:00.16 went to build a television station. Now, this meant very 00:25:00.16\00:25:02.96 little to me at the time. I'm just now understanding 00:25:02.96\00:25:05.97 after almost 40 years later is why bring it up? But I want to 00:25:05.97\00:25:09.64 build a television station that will reach the world within and 00:25:09.64\00:25:13.31 diluted 3 angels messages. One would counteract a 00:25:13.31\00:25:17.21 counterfeit. I when I heard that, I said all I heard was 00:25:17.21\00:25:21.72 counteracted counterfeit. So at that time, I said, 00:25:21.72\00:25:24.85 well, we started going to church is we're going to build 00:25:24.85\00:25:27.22 this television station, reach the world. We're going to know 00:25:27.22\00:25:30.39 counteract the Jim and Tammy Baker. We're going to 00:25:30.39\00:25:33.83 counteract, you know, Jimmy Swaggart. We're going to 00:25:33.83\00:25:36.56 counteract ABN. We're going to give the truth about the 10 00:25:36.56\00:25:39.43 Commandments and the Sabbath. And I went about 3 or 4 weeks 00:25:39.43\00:25:42.74 to different churches. In one night. I had a dream and then 00:25:42.74\00:25:45.61 this train. I was out and Apple orchard and I was talking to 00:25:45.61\00:25:49.64 God. It didn't say it was just me and him and they zappos were 00:25:49.64\00:25:53.48 like none I've ever seen. They were this big around 00:25:53.48\00:25:56.45 beautiful red right there. Trees were so heavy laden that 00:25:56.45\00:26:00.22 they were hanging down like this. So I can just walk over 00:26:00.22\00:26:04.03 and pick all these apples. 00:26:04.03\00:26:06.53 So I said, Lord, what's this main 00:26:06.53\00:26:09.76 and what the Lord impress me? And I have to paraphrase, 00:26:09.76\00:26:12.47 because 00:26:12.47\00:26:13.64 the way that the best way I can I can ever say what God said 00:26:13.64\00:26:17.34 exactly. But but other words in my humanness, what he said to 00:26:17.34\00:26:20.74 me was your your mission is not to go counter at people who are 00:26:20.74\00:26:26.55 giving the gospel no matter what that person is like. 00:26:26.55\00:26:30.85 So and it took me way. What you mean? Because what happened is 00:26:30.85\00:26:34.96 he says my word will not return to a void. So I decided after 00:26:34.96\00:26:39.39 that if I hired an atheist actor to do nothing but read 00:26:39.39\00:26:43.10 the Bible, 24 7, there would be people watch it and come to 00:26:43.10\00:26:46.47 Jesus because it's not about the messenger. It's about the 00:26:46.47\00:26:49.80 message. So that taught me, OK, my job is not to go out now and 00:26:49.80\00:26:55.78 try to talk about these ministries. The ripe red 00:26:55.78\00:26:58.31 apples. The Lord presented to me represents people who have 00:26:58.31\00:27:02.65 already come off of drugs and alcohol who have already 00:27:02.65\00:27:06.32 accepted me. They general read, right? Apple is ready to be put 00:27:06.32\00:27:10.53 to give them the anti message, the 3 angels messages to the 00:27:10.53\00:27:14.40 world. So here I'm trying to fight people who because 00:27:14.40\00:27:18.60 they're given the word. Maybe not always correct that people 00:27:18.60\00:27:21.57 have been touched by blast by so now that part understood. 00:27:21.57\00:27:26.91 But all these years, one is given and diluted 3 Angeles 00:27:26.91\00:27:31.11 messages. One would counteract the counterfeit. Now, when you 00:27:31.11\00:27:34.72 look at all the churches and all the Christian churches, 00:27:34.72\00:27:37.29 Protestant church, Catholic churches, I can't think of any 00:27:37.29\00:27:40.26 other ones given the 3 Angeles messages as their focus moves. 00:27:40.26\00:27:44.29 So if it's a given and diluted 3 in those messages, that must 00:27:44.29\00:27:48.36 mean there's a diluted one, right? I mean, that's what it 00:27:48.36\00:27:52.60 means. But I do understand that at the time now have to. 00:27:52.60\00:27:56.27 >> Confess to out of the car might trade. I could argue with 00:27:56.27\00:27:59.51 you about to Sabbath. I could argue and I'm saying this, 00:27:59.51\00:28:02.34 argue what about we say our game. You say arguing aren't 00:28:02.34\00:28:05.98 haha out the Sabbath and nobody can argue about the state of 00:28:05.98\00:28:10.19 the day. And I could argue with you about these things. But to 00:28:10.19\00:28:13.46 as far as really knowing and understanding that new 00:28:13.46\00:28:16.62 revelation, I didn't at that time. 33 years old. So why 00:28:16.62\00:28:20.66 would the Lord impress me? So I knew it wasn't something 00:28:20.66\00:28:23.20 that I heard before because I didn't even know what it meant. 00:28:23.20\00:28:26.47 I want you to give an and diluted 3 inches messages 00:28:26.47\00:28:29.04 finally understanding because we're at the point in our 00:28:29.04\00:28:32.54 history that I'm saying that, you know, we've been looking in 00:28:32.54\00:28:37.65 and talking about all these other churches that are getting 00:28:37.65\00:28:40.28 away from the Commandments of God, teachers that are false 00:28:40.28\00:28:43.15 teachers and false preachers. And suddenly it's occurred to 00:28:43.15\00:28:45.99 me. We have those too. 00:28:45.99\00:28:49.36 Yeah. All right. We have those, too. So how can that be if we 00:28:49.36\00:28:54.00 know what's going on? So I want to get on to topic hair. 00:28:54.00\00:28:56.97 That's very, very controversial. But I got my my 00:28:56.97\00:29:00.67 strong man here to help us. We have a strong man here to 00:29:00.67\00:29:04.21 help the U.S.. But one of the things that's going around and 00:29:04.21\00:29:08.01 I've talked to a number of pastors about this, and it's 00:29:08.01\00:29:11.05 it's it's 00:29:11.05\00:29:12.91 I don't want to say popular, but it's being more and more 00:29:12.91\00:29:15.85 accepted is that there are people who are standing up and 00:29:15.85\00:29:19.25 they're saying that talking about first of all the and 00:29:19.25\00:29:23.22 we're going to talk about that tonight. What's this new thing 00:29:23.22\00:29:25.66 Project, 2020 white nationalist, the talk about now 00:29:25.66\00:29:30.17 they say nationalists, but when you really hear there's Chin 00:29:30.17\00:29:32.50 national. Well, yeah, but what I'm saying, what people write 00:29:32.50\00:29:35.20 me and say you're a white nationalist, you know, so well, 00:29:35.20\00:29:39.47 I'm a Christian. And, you know, they'll say you're a white 00:29:39.47\00:29:43.14 Christian nationalist them. But you fit the mold of a of a 00:29:43.14\00:29:46.82 Republican White Christian nationalists. You know, so and 00:29:46.82\00:29:51.39 you know, whatever else. 00:29:51.39\00:29:53.15 So I'm not really I can say tonight I can speak for you all 00:29:53.15\00:29:56.42 but invited me where independent. So we don't really 00:29:56.42\00:29:59.46 go with either side of the other. Do we have tendencies 00:29:59.46\00:30:01.83 certain things we agree with? Yes, there are certain to maybe 00:30:01.83\00:30:05.53 even on both sides. But there are some things we can talk 00:30:05.53\00:30:08.10 about later on, but where we are not on either side. So I 00:30:08.10\00:30:12.27 feel like we can set back and get a better picture because I 00:30:12.27\00:30:15.78 don't have an agenda. So when we're talking politics, I don't 00:30:15.78\00:30:19.08 have an agenda. But so you have people saying that what is 00:30:19.08\00:30:23.15 happening in America as I even saw the other night on Facebook 00:30:23.15\00:30:27.42 guy was riding the said it's going to be the white a 00:30:27.42\00:30:31.59 nationalist Republicans and it's going to be Donald Trump 00:30:31.59\00:30:35.66 who brings in the national Sunday low. I believe he's 00:30:35.66\00:30:38.13 going to get back in and he's going to bring about a national 00:30:38.13\00:30:40.97 Sunday on and this. Is that an honest? So I'm saying now, 00:30:40.97\00:30:44.24 how in the world do we get that? We think we're so smart 00:30:44.24\00:30:47.01 that we know prophecy so well, we can even name names of who's 00:30:47.01\00:30:50.31 going to bring in a national Sunday law. So for my little 00:30:50.31\00:30:53.95 bit of reading, I'm not a scholar by any means, but it 00:30:53.95\00:30:56.69 says the United States of America. I didn't say it said 00:30:56.69\00:30:59.35 the Democrat going to bring in, you know, this and a lot. 00:30:59.35\00:31:02.96 I don't see this as Republicans are bringing in. I think it's 00:31:02.96\00:31:06.03 that horn represents the United States of America. So that 00:31:06.03\00:31:10.27 would seem to me that it would be the country as a whole, 00:31:10.27\00:31:14.60 that there will be some compromises some going forward. 00:31:14.60\00:31:17.41 But what I want to talk about some throw a bunch out. You've 00:31:17.41\00:31:20.41 got and then you run with it. You jump in when you want. 00:31:20.41\00:31:23.55 But one of the things that I'm hearing is and he's very 00:31:23.55\00:31:26.35 popular right now that has America, we call it and it came 00:31:26.35\00:31:31.12 out of the earth that Spake as a dragon that the teaching is 00:31:31.12\00:31:35.69 that is mince. It's always spoke as a dragon because of 00:31:35.69\00:31:39.43 slavery. It's always focus the dragon. 00:31:39.43\00:31:42.83 And yet I don't find that to be true. And I look back and we 00:31:42.83\00:31:45.90 use sometimes that Venice, some of you are. But we look back at 00:31:45.90\00:31:49.14 some of our prophetic what we believe is proved prophetic 00:31:49.14\00:31:52.34 information given to us. And I went back and look and 00:31:52.34\00:31:54.91 see what Ellen might says about it. And she says this is the 00:31:54.91\00:31:57.85 most to the blast country and, you know, on Earth. And I think 00:31:57.85\00:32:01.85 most of us know that. So I think we're heading into and 00:32:01.85\00:32:06.39 you said a few minutes ago, brother Ryan, we see signs of a 00:32:06.39\00:32:10.69 dragon coming but to look back. And so somebody said you're 00:32:10.69\00:32:14.40 nationalist as well. I am. I looked up to in the 00:32:14.40\00:32:17.97 dictionary to see what it says. It's somebody who support your 00:32:17.97\00:32:21.07 country. So I grew up in America. So if I watched 00:32:21.07\00:32:25.24 Americans play basketball in the Olympics, I'm rooting for 00:32:25.24\00:32:28.18 the Americans. When we were at war, I'm rooting for the 00:32:28.18\00:32:30.71 Americans. So if that's nationalist, I am. If they've 00:32:30.71\00:32:33.45 gotten country and family of that wants to put me somewhere 00:32:33.45\00:32:36.79 on some side of politics, you can do that if you want to. 00:32:36.79\00:32:39.89 But but that's that's not where I am. But what I'm saying and 00:32:39.89\00:32:42.96 it is it very popular right now. And I'll tell you why I I 00:32:42.96\00:32:47.30 think we have to talk about it and the interesting to see what 00:32:47.30\00:32:50.40 you guys say. But when you leave and you're taught that 00:32:50.40\00:32:54.27 America's always spoken as the dragon and you're a minority 00:32:54.27\00:32:58.27 and it's over slavery, then you have no respect for our 00:32:58.27\00:33:01.88 country. You have no type of the other words. Everything is 00:33:01.88\00:33:06.31 bad about this country and nothing. You can do it ever 00:33:06.31\00:33:09.32 satisfied because this has always been the devils country 00:33:09.32\00:33:12.85 cause. He's always been in charge of it when I believe 00:33:12.85\00:33:15.99 that's a lie. And I think that that is will cause division 00:33:15.99\00:33:20.13 within the church. And so I would like to hear you guys 00:33:20.13\00:33:22.73 talk about that because you mentioned the other day. 00:33:22.73\00:33:25.90 It's not really about race, but yet we're making it race. 00:33:25.90\00:33:30.27 Current current culture and politics is what's causing this 00:33:30.27\00:33:34.94 division. But and have you guys heard that people are talking 00:33:34.94\00:33:37.98 about that? So it up. I would like to hear what each of you 00:33:37.98\00:33:41.65 think about when it says in its focus, the dragon, how when and 00:33:41.65\00:33:45.22 where will this happen and how do we know when it happened? 00:33:45.22\00:33:49.16 >> Well, for sure, we are divided over race, right? 00:33:49.16\00:33:52.76 And I know from my own experience that this country 00:33:52.76\00:33:56.43 has shapes my history. I was born on Camp Pendleton, a 00:33:56.43\00:34:02.44 United States Marine Corps base. My mom was white. My dad 00:34:02.44\00:34:05.17 was black. N****** is what it says on my birth certificate in 00:34:05.17\00:34:08.64 and 10 months of age. My mom took me to England because she 00:34:08.64\00:34:11.41 didn't want to me to be raised in this country because she 00:34:11.41\00:34:14.02 felt like the this is before Martin Luther King and the 00:34:14.02\00:34:18.52 freedoms of the 60 Late 60's. And so she raised me there. 00:34:18.52\00:34:22.86 And I remember as a young man was about 11 years old, we came 00:34:22.86\00:34:25.66 back to America and at 69 the choice between going back to 00:34:25.66\00:34:29.60 England with my mother or was she moved back to England or 00:34:29.60\00:34:33.30 staying here? And it was such a simple choice. And it, you 00:34:33.30\00:34:37.47 know, with all that we have gone through as a family 00:34:37.47\00:34:39.71 because my dad and mom would never be able were never able 00:34:39.71\00:34:42.51 to stay together because he was black and she was white. 00:34:42.51\00:34:45.55 There was no question in my mind that America was the best 00:34:45.55\00:34:48.72 place to live and I never regretted. That decision was 00:34:48.72\00:34:51.59 places. Liberty was a place of freedom. Yes, there was racism. 00:34:51.59\00:34:54.72 Yes, that would difficulties. There were things that we need 00:34:54.72\00:34:57.06 to work through as a nation and you're going to find that in 00:34:57.06\00:35:00.43 every nation. But the principles, the foundational 00:35:00.43\00:35:02.70 principles of liberty and freedom or intact, right. 00:35:02.70\00:35:06.57 And that's what allowed me to prosper in this country. 00:35:06.57\00:35:09.20 Those freedoms, those principles. 00:35:09.20\00:35:11.31 >> That. 00:35:11.31\00:35:12.67 >> Our stab lish in this prophecy in revelation chapter 00:35:12.67\00:35:15.38 13 U.S. principles of liberty and freedom. So I know as a 00:35:15.38\00:35:19.75 minority, I know as someone who is from a mixture race that 00:35:19.75\00:35:24.45 that is half black and half white. I know that America is a 00:35:24.45\00:35:27.96 great place to live even in relation to Europe. It's a 00:35:27.96\00:35:31.26 great place to live. I think that when you look at 00:35:31.26\00:35:34.10 revelation Chapter 13, what you're looking at is a 00:35:34.10\00:35:37.17 progression from where we were as a nation. And of course, 00:35:37.17\00:35:40.87 we started in 17. 76. It took us 8 years to get independents. 00:35:40.87\00:35:43.97 And then we had to fight again in 18, 12 in 18. 0, 7, The 00:35:43.97\00:35:47.48 British did away with slavery with will will before we will 00:35:47.48\00:35:50.91 before us. And but we had a strong contention in the south 00:35:50.91\00:35:54.48 that was against it. But, you know, coming in 18, 63, when we 00:35:54.48\00:35:58.79 did side Emancipation Proclamation and hundreds of 00:35:58.79\00:36:01.99 thousands of white people died to free the slaves. We have 00:36:01.99\00:36:05.69 continued to progress from there. When you looking at 00:36:05.69\00:36:07.93 racism, a lot of it happens to be in certain areas of the 00:36:07.93\00:36:11.00 United States because those people didn't want to give up 00:36:11.00\00:36:14.64 the slave trade like the northern half of United States 00:36:14.64\00:36:17.71 did. And as you move further and further gets better and 00:36:17.71\00:36:20.41 better and this more and more freedom and liberty coming out 00:36:20.41\00:36:23.71 of the principles of the foundation of this country. 00:36:23.71\00:36:26.55 And as soon as you start doing with those principles and those 00:36:26.55\00:36:29.15 those foundational liberties that have been given us freedom 00:36:29.15\00:36:32.55 of speech, freedom of assembly, you know, freedom to 2, 2 to 00:36:32.55\00:36:36.69 worship as we want. We're not worship at all. You begin to 00:36:36.69\00:36:40.30 speak like a dragon. And that's exactly what we can see. 00:36:40.30\00:36:43.63 You know, right mentioned earlier, we're seeing that that 00:36:43.63\00:36:46.03 we're hearing a voice to drag coming in with the elimination 00:36:46.03\00:36:49.10 of these freedoms and a lot of these women, a lot of this 00:36:49.10\00:36:51.87 eliminations coming unfortunately. 00:36:51.87\00:36:53.98 >> Under that under the 00:36:53.98\00:36:56.28 >> hospice s of racism when it's not racism at all, it 00:36:56.28\00:36:59.51 might be racism in a sense that it's racism against white 00:36:59.51\00:37:02.78 people. Unfortunately, that's what we see developing now. 00:37:02.78\00:37:05.42 And I know we're getting some some hot buttons here. This is 00:37:05.42\00:37:08.36 what you're seeing it at right now. 00:37:08.36\00:37:11.09 >> No people be mad at me if I say that. So go ahead. Haha, 00:37:11.09\00:37:15.40 I think I said get away with the ice. I think you place. 00:37:15.40\00:37:19.40 >> In one sense. So I feel bad that as a young person, I was 00:37:19.40\00:37:24.07 divided between black and white. But when I became a 00:37:24.07\00:37:27.28 Christian, all that went away, I was proud to be black and I 00:37:27.28\00:37:30.68 was proud to be white. I was proud of my mother. I was proud 00:37:30.68\00:37:33.78 of my father. I was a Christian. Now I have to hide 00:37:33.78\00:37:36.85 any of that. Because in Christ, we're all the same. Doesn't 00:37:36.85\00:37:39.65 matter for J** or gentile. This a matter for slave or 00:37:39.65\00:37:43.56 free. It doesn't matter from it, male or female. We're all 00:37:43.56\00:37:46.19 the same in Christ. So it's really hard, I think almost 00:37:46.19\00:37:50.73 overwhelming for me to see this division taking place within 00:37:50.73\00:37:53.57 our church, OK, if it's in the world, but within our church. 00:37:53.57\00:37:57.04 Yeah, it's just not acceptable to to make to make these. 00:37:57.04\00:38:01.88 >> Final events of Bible prophecy special. What we're 00:38:01.88\00:38:03.85 reading him Revelation, 11 revolution, 13 versus 11 and 00:38:03.85\00:38:07.65 onward to try to make this a race issue is just incredible 00:38:07.65\00:38:12.49 to me when we're not denying this and I want to make this 00:38:12.49\00:38:16.42 very clear as a history major in college, I had to write a 00:38:16.42\00:38:18.86 many a paper in and give them any a debate topic on on the 00:38:18.86\00:38:23.13 the the history of the United States. And I want to just make 00:38:23.13\00:38:26.57 this very clear as an American citizen, I love my country. 00:38:26.57\00:38:30.11 I'm going to an American through and through and I'm 00:38:30.11\00:38:31.94 proud to be an American. I'm not proud of some of that 00:38:31.94\00:38:34.78 history. I'm just not what I look back at some of those, 00:38:34.78\00:38:37.95 though, that when I read about 00:38:37.95\00:38:39.98 the extreme cases of slavery that went on for a large chunk 00:38:39.98\00:38:45.95 of the early part of this, this nation's history, that's a dark 00:38:45.95\00:38:49.29 time that I'm not proud of his an American, but nonetheless 00:38:49.29\00:38:54.56 praise the lord. We've we've we've grown out of that. 00:38:54.56\00:38:57.13 We've come out of that things. 00:38:57.13\00:38:58.50 >> Have changed. In fact, it's interesting that people think 00:38:58.50\00:39:02.17 it can be said that there's more freedom in this country 00:39:02.17\00:39:04.27 there has been before. But what's interesting is that many 00:39:04.27\00:39:07.44 people want to go back and say, well, there, you know, we say 00:39:07.44\00:39:09.98 we're Christian nation, but then they're slavery. There's 00:39:09.98\00:39:11.65 all these bad things that we allowed these people to claim 00:39:11.65\00:39:13.98 to be Christian allowed in this nation. But wouldn't what's 00:39:13.98\00:39:16.72 interesting is there was a sense again, there might have 00:39:16.72\00:39:19.42 been up flawed view of way to carry that that Christianity 00:39:19.42\00:39:22.76 out. But there was a very solid crisis like Christian 00:39:22.76\00:39:26.66 Foundation and morals that was very much established in this 00:39:26.66\00:39:29.86 nation. It's interesting that the morph freedom that has been 00:39:29.86\00:39:33.17 opened up for people, 00:39:33.17\00:39:35.64 the morals have went the opposite direction. And because 00:39:35.64\00:39:38.74 when you give freedom where there is true freedom, there's 00:39:38.74\00:39:41.44 that involves risk risk of people not taking that 00:39:41.44\00:39:45.25 responsibility of the freedom. They've been given to exercise 00:39:45.25\00:39:48.78 it in such a way that they have the freedom to choose to serve 00:39:48.78\00:39:52.12 God or to not serve. Got to to do that, which is right or to 00:39:52.12\00:39:54.92 not do that. That which is right. What's interesting to 00:39:54.92\00:39:57.49 this is me or what would what Sichuan is this 00:39:57.49\00:40:00.36 when you get in revelation 13, look at these 2 horns. I want 00:40:00.36\00:40:03.73 to read something from spread across the volume for page 27 00:40:03.73\00:40:06.23 here. It says the action is to 77 spread across the volume for 00:40:06.23\00:40:10.31 pitch to 77. She says that she's in the lab like horns, 00:40:10.31\00:40:13.94 emblems of innocence and gentleness well represented the 00:40:13.94\00:40:17.71 character of our government K as expressed in its 2 00:40:17.71\00:40:21.58 fundamental principles, Republicanism and 00:40:21.58\00:40:24.35 Protestantism. Sort of those 2 would represent the 2 00:40:24.35\00:40:27.42 principles on which this nation was built. Republicanism and 00:40:27.42\00:40:30.63 promised is a male. Don't be don't be taken by taking off by 00:40:30.63\00:40:34.63 the word Republicanism. It's all talk about the Republican 00:40:34.63\00:40:36.90 Party talking about the remember. I pledge allegiance 00:40:36.90\00:40:39.77 to the flag of the United States of America and to the 00:40:39.77\00:40:42.30 Republic for which it stands. What's a Republican? Our nation 00:40:42.30\00:40:45.57 was this. Where are the the nature of our a government was 00:40:45.57\00:40:49.61 a Democratic, a process that was built upon a Republican, 00:40:49.61\00:40:54.05 the Republican, meaning it's giving the power to the people. 00:40:54.05\00:40:56.99 So when you go over to Europe during the dark ages, it was 00:40:56.99\00:40:59.85 the papacy that was in forcing religion on people and 00:40:59.85\00:41:04.36 oppressing people. Anna Faris takeaway with religion to the 00:41:04.36\00:41:07.73 point to again, more than 50 million people over a period 00:41:07.73\00:41:10.90 of time, the dark ages parish because of an enforcement, 00:41:10.90\00:41:13.80 a dragon likened forsman religion. This new mission to 00:41:13.80\00:41:17.07 comes up out of the earth. Now that it's created the rise 00:41:17.07\00:41:20.11 up out of the earth and its established off the set of fit. 00:41:20.11\00:41:23.35 First of that beast over the sea, they rise step out of the 00:41:23.35\00:41:27.02 sea among the peoples among the nations of the multitude and 00:41:27.02\00:41:29.72 NASA's this nation establishes would want to be like that. 00:41:29.72\00:41:32.79 We want to we want to establish a nation that's built up on a 00:41:32.79\00:41:35.82 republicanism which is giving the power now to the people not 00:41:35.82\00:41:39.13 to a dictatorship or a few, you know, elite people that's going 00:41:39.13\00:41:42.30 to misuse and abuse their power. It put the power of the 00:41:42.30\00:41:45.13 people, but the power in the people's hands and to bring 00:41:45.13\00:41:48.27 about freedom of religion which brought about the Protestant 00:41:48.27\00:41:51.31 movement. Now, here's what's interesting. 00:41:51.31\00:41:54.61 Let's fast forward when you give the people power 00:41:54.61\00:41:59.35 now. And that's a great thing. But if those people that are 00:41:59.35\00:42:02.38 given the power are not now living, according to those 00:42:02.38\00:42:07.16 biblical principles as was established in the beginning, 00:42:07.16\00:42:10.49 but they fall away from it. They push religion out. They 00:42:10.49\00:42:13.53 push Christ out. They push the commandments out. Now the 00:42:13.53\00:42:16.36 nature of the spiritual, the character of the body of people 00:42:16.36\00:42:21.10 is now going to tell their 00:42:21.10\00:42:23.41 >> their their leaders, their their legislators. 00:42:23.41\00:42:27.24 >> How to do what a pass and what to do. That's what we're 00:42:27.24\00:42:30.21 seeing here in terms of this, this this conversation of 00:42:30.21\00:42:32.95 Christian nationalism and this whole conversation of now being 00:42:32.95\00:42:36.89 just the second least speaking as the first dragon or 00:42:36.89\00:42:40.32 exercising all the authority. What we're seeing is the power 00:42:40.32\00:42:43.36 of the people who have now pushed religion now who have 00:42:43.36\00:42:45.83 pushed Christ out, who are now basically abandoning the law of 00:42:45.83\00:42:49.56 God. This nation that once was lamb like it's starting to 00:42:49.56\00:42:53.20 speak like a beast. It's coming from the power of the people 00:42:53.20\00:42:56.40 that is pressing their legislators to now start pass 00:42:56.40\00:42:59.81 laws that go against got more as we go again, Scott 00:42:59.81\00:43:02.64 standards. So now we're in the speak scenario where it's like, 00:43:02.64\00:43:06.48 wait a second. The church is now being affected. That's what 00:43:06.48\00:43:09.22 we're talking about it. What point does the church allow 00:43:09.22\00:43:12.35 poacher to dictate its principles and where they 00:43:12.35\00:43:15.52 stand? When you allow the culture of the people who are 00:43:15.52\00:43:18.29 not reflecting the character of the lamb, but now the character 00:43:18.29\00:43:21.63 of the dragon telling their legislators to pass laws to fly 00:43:21.63\00:43:24.57 in the face of God's commands and in and you're allowing that 00:43:24.57\00:43:28.54 to happen. And the church is now being oppressed and been 00:43:28.54\00:43:31.64 oppressed, but being in a influenced strongly by the 00:43:31.64\00:43:34.31 culture. Now we have to speak up and say, wait a second, 00:43:34.31\00:43:37.41 we hatched separation of church and state, but now it seems 00:43:37.41\00:43:39.81 like we're allowing the culture to calm moving in slowly like a 00:43:39.81\00:43:44.29 almost like a cancer, like like a virus. It's coming in slowly 00:43:44.29\00:43:48.92 and it's starting to slowly. But surely this this dragon 00:43:48.92\00:43:53.09 like mentality is bleeding into the church to have people 00:43:53.09\00:43:56.60 compromising the plain truth of God's word and a free country 00:43:56.60\00:44:01.04 more than ever before. 00:44:01.04\00:44:02.27 >> What more freedoms more? The more I love it. I want to 00:44:02.27\00:44:04.94 go back to well, you said it spoke to, you know, as a dragon 00:44:04.94\00:44:10.78 and I look at this, America's journey with slavery with race 00:44:10.78\00:44:16.05 as a Christian. 00:44:16.05\00:44:18.09 Let's say that I'm not a Christian, but today have 00:44:18.09\00:44:21.36 become Christian. I'm still going to have some of the 00:44:21.36\00:44:23.86 things in my life. But as I go farther and farther in my 00:44:23.86\00:44:27.60 Christian walk become 00:44:27.60\00:44:30.27 become more like Christ. Well, when it came to slavery, 00:44:30.27\00:44:33.97 people's like, OK, finally, we're getting it after, you 00:44:33.97\00:44:36.87 know, so many years, but has taken a tremendous out. But 00:44:36.87\00:44:39.87 it's not a stand in your face and just rejected because what 00:44:39.87\00:44:43.68 God doesn't, you know, sanctification, you know, 00:44:43.68\00:44:47.05 it is fine that's working on the lifetime and God bless this 00:44:47.05\00:44:50.85 nation. But if we had stood up in the face and said, forget 00:44:50.85\00:44:54.32 it, and the South one, no slavery is here. I think God 00:44:54.32\00:44:57.89 would withdraw his blessings, but he didn't because we've 00:44:57.89\00:45:01.00 continued to move on. So now for many years, you've got, 00:45:01.00\00:45:06.37 you know, now you've got this limelight beast with that soft 00:45:06.37\00:45:11.27 nature that, you know, good nature with all the Christian 00:45:11.27\00:45:14.64 principles. But then people want to say, and these same 00:45:14.64\00:45:19.28 people that I've been listening to this talking about, well, 00:45:19.28\00:45:22.35 slavery is, you know, it's always United States spoken as 00:45:22.35\00:45:26.15 a as a dragon. 00:45:26.15\00:45:27.89 Those same people are saying, well, what's happening is it's 00:45:27.89\00:45:31.79 going to be the Christian, right? You know, who brings the 00:45:31.79\00:45:34.93 Nationals Sunday lull. And as again, as I mentioned, some of 00:45:34.93\00:45:38.50 them even name names. And so there 00:45:38.50\00:45:42.70 headed this way, it has to be. So if people disagree, you 00:45:42.70\00:45:47.71 know, people get really upset because you've got people now 00:45:47.71\00:45:50.51 on the other side said, wait a minute, the left is on Godly, 00:45:50.51\00:45:53.38 the goddess and the right do so in general, it seems to me what 00:45:53.38\00:45:58.29 happened is that the country, you know what? Basically, 00:45:58.29\00:46:02.62 as you said, Christian, though, we had lots of false and 00:46:02.62\00:46:04.96 failures, but as things really begin to go to pot, so to 00:46:04.96\00:46:08.16 speak, maybe literally back in the 60's 70's, then the 00:46:08.16\00:46:13.07 Christian leadership said we've got to stop this. Something's 00:46:13.07\00:46:16.10 got to happen. So I'm old enough. And some of you are 00:46:16.10\00:46:19.01 too, to remember Jerry Falwell and the mayor and Moral 00:46:19.01\00:46:22.68 majority. So Hudson, millions of people to follow him. 00:46:22.68\00:46:27.68 We have got to make America get it back to a Christian nation. 00:46:27.68\00:46:31.72 So we are going to legislate laws, including a Sabbath rest, 00:46:31.72\00:46:36.93 which team it was a Sunday rest. Then there came Pat 00:46:36.93\00:46:40.16 Robertson. So this is probably late 80's. So people said to 00:46:40.16\00:46:43.47 me, man, you got some infants are just glad we got to a 00:46:43.47\00:46:47.17 Christian. You know, I could say a white Christian since 00:46:47.17\00:46:49.70 everybody is making a race thing but along. So you we've 00:46:49.70\00:46:52.77 got a Christian, somebody you should really night and this 00:46:52.77\00:46:56.51 guy is going for run for president. And I think 3 ABN, 00:46:56.51\00:47:00.78 you all ought to stand behind that. You have been a stand 00:47:00.78\00:47:02.82 behind it. And I was a bad guy because I said no, 00:47:02.82\00:47:06.19 I will not support either one of those guys. Now I support 00:47:06.19\00:47:09.92 what they do in getting the gospel. But what they're 00:47:09.92\00:47:12.56 wanting to do is they're wanting to turn this country 00:47:12.56\00:47:16.06 into that speaking like a dragon, right, because they 00:47:16.06\00:47:18.87 want to legislate. So if I understand it, right, what 00:47:18.87\00:47:22.40 really makes will show that the country is speaking as a dragon 00:47:22.40\00:47:26.71 is when they begin to legislate laws that are anti. 00:47:26.71\00:47:29.98 >> God's law. And on that same point, you know, we brought up 00:47:29.98\00:47:33.35 the race issue earlier and to return to that still linger too 00:47:33.35\00:47:36.48 long. But it will make mention it's interesting that, you 00:47:36.48\00:47:39.12 know, I'm out, I'm out there preaching and had many 00:47:39.12\00:47:40.99 conversations, many people in the field. And it's amazing to 00:47:40.99\00:47:43.59 me the people that usually a crying this, you know, we're 00:47:43.59\00:47:45.99 we're we're we spoke as a dragon and its all making it a 00:47:45.99\00:47:48.43 race issue. And then and again, I'm not denying that there's 00:47:48.43\00:47:50.80 racism in this country, both home side. 00:47:50.80\00:47:53.40 >> But it wasn't in every other country. Yeah, there was 00:47:53.40\00:47:55.77 slavery. And I think Jay Passages brought this up 00:47:55.77\00:47:57.94 earlier. The United States of America is not the only country 00:47:57.94\00:48:00.84 with a history of slavery. There are dozens and dozens and 00:48:00.84\00:48:03.95 dozens of other countries avenue. We have to leave Africa 00:48:03.95\00:48:07.12 reinflate the old to yeah. And so again, it we just put 00:48:07.12\00:48:10.72 the spotlight on America and of course, because rightly so in 00:48:10.72\00:48:13.59 this sense because we're talking about Michael prophecy. 00:48:13.59\00:48:15.86 What's interesting is that the the the the the nature of these 00:48:15.86\00:48:19.29 people that are coming out in the ports that they're making 00:48:19.29\00:48:22.00 in trying to say that we can't take this one side because it 00:48:22.00\00:48:26.20 seems to be about white nationalism and white 00:48:26.20\00:48:27.94 supremacy. And these are the same individuals that tend to 00:48:27.94\00:48:31.14 choose a side that are legislating laws. The fly in 00:48:31.14\00:48:34.94 the face of got commitments. In other words, people to 00:48:34.94\00:48:37.58 support abortion people to some more port homosexuality and all 00:48:37.58\00:48:40.32 these other things. It has an independent which is very clear 00:48:40.32\00:48:43.39 examples. There's probably somebody right now. It's like 00:48:43.39\00:48:45.05 all right. They must be Republican. I hate politics, 00:48:45.05\00:48:48.09 not despise politics. I've said it from the beginning of time. 00:48:48.09\00:48:51.29 I'm not a Republican. I'm not a Democrat. I'm a I'm a Christ. 00:48:51.29\00:48:54.60 A publican are or crushed a crack about red state like 00:48:54.60\00:48:57.13 that. I'm a Bible-believing Christian. I don't I do not get 00:48:57.13\00:49:01.24 on the bandwagon of one or the other. At the end of the day, 00:49:01.24\00:49:03.67 I'm all about the Bible. At the end of the day, I'm all 00:49:03.67\00:49:06.14 about making sure that we as a people in this church are 00:49:06.14\00:49:09.01 sticking it hearing too of the sea. If the lord of not getting 00:49:09.01\00:49:12.21 caught up in these cultural pressures that are causing us 00:49:12.21\00:49:16.02 to choose sides and then choosing the side. But what's 00:49:16.02\00:49:19.65 happening is littered the spread of the north, the spirit 00:49:19.65\00:49:21.49 of south. When you get over to Daniel 11, I know Pastor Pastor 00:49:21.49\00:49:25.36 Rafferty problem. I speak a little bit on this before we 00:49:25.36\00:49:27.46 end tonight. When you get over to Daniel 11, there's this king 00:49:27.46\00:49:30.10 of the north is king of the south, the spirit of the north, 00:49:30.10\00:49:32.27 the spirit of stuff. You have basically a pa state 00:49:32.27\00:49:35.20 Christianity versus atheism and the devils working both sides. 00:49:35.20\00:49:38.64 Absolute demolition work at both sides and people think a 00:49:38.64\00:49:41.54 lot. I'm a right what right wing person because this is the 00:49:41.54\00:49:44.78 what is the party that Jesus what you do? There's probably a 00:49:44.78\00:49:47.38 little bit right wing. There's issues of the Pentagon and that 00:49:47.38\00:49:50.79 the Devils all up and then and then for sure, when you get to 00:49:50.79\00:49:53.02 the left, you see the devil and that Dotson in this one to make 00:49:53.02\00:49:55.42 that very clear, we're not here to push politics are one side 00:49:55.42\00:49:58.03 of the other hand, but to get back to the Bible, we cannot 00:49:58.03\00:50:01.16 get to the point where we make it issues about certain things 00:50:01.16\00:50:04.40 that cause us to choose a side that fall to the flies in the 00:50:04.40\00:50:07.44 face of God's commands and got when we're not at that point. 00:50:07.44\00:50:11.01 Absolutely. 00:50:11.01\00:50:12.04 >> Absolutely true. And I and so I have a different 00:50:12.04\00:50:16.61 perspective on race because I I grew up during the civil rights 00:50:16.61\00:50:20.92 era. So I you know, not that old honey. 00:50:20.92\00:50:25.12 >> Okay. That's a really good. And so. 00:50:25.12\00:50:32.66 >> I am. So I lived in Alabama for while I was from New York 00:50:32.66\00:50:36.87 originally and we moved to Alabama in 1916 because my dad 00:50:36.87\00:50:40.90 went back to what back-to-school Oakland 00:50:40.90\00:50:43.97 and I went to Huntsville and I went into the town and 00:50:43.97\00:50:49.51 I just experienced segregation. So I saw colored and white 00:50:49.51\00:50:55.25 fountains and my mother who was very fair, could go into a 00:50:55.25\00:50:59.25 restaurant. She bring food out to us because we couldn't go 00:50:59.25\00:51:01.92 in. So I I saw that, 00:51:01.92\00:51:04.36 however, 00:51:04.36\00:51:06.49 I've seen to how we've grown and I'm really thankful. 00:51:06.49\00:51:10.50 I love America. I'm very thankful to be an American. 00:51:10.50\00:51:13.97 I see the issues that we have internally, 00:51:13.97\00:51:18.27 you know, culturally we have external and internal issues. 00:51:18.27\00:51:22.54 So we can't say that. You know, I think we make so much of race 00:51:22.54\00:51:28.52 so much. It's just we have 00:51:28.52\00:51:30.99 more melanin. It's a it's a we make such a big deal was. 00:51:30.99\00:51:36.73 >> Yeah, it's different shades. Yeah, you know, have that much. 00:51:36.73\00:51:41.10 >> Well, you know, plant. But we we all we all have like 00:51:41.10\00:51:45.20 that. 00:51:45.20\00:51:46.50 We have cultural similarities and some cultural differences, 00:51:46.50\00:51:50.01 but we should be Christians first to actually be that, 00:51:50.01\00:51:54.38 you know, when I think of you as my husband, I don't think my 00:51:54.38\00:51:56.88 wife husband and you are my husband because race is race. 00:51:56.88\00:52:01.78 We make such a big deal out of it 00:52:01.78\00:52:04.75 and we don't really need to especially as Christians. 00:52:04.75\00:52:07.42 That is not to negate hear me, please, because people will be 00:52:07.42\00:52:11.46 saying all she is she's denying what's going on. Really not. 00:52:11.46\00:52:16.33 We have again internal issues and external issues. The laws 00:52:16.33\00:52:22.20 in this country are really well written now, 2 for equality. 00:52:22.20\00:52:27.21 The execution of those lost sometimes 00:52:27.21\00:52:30.25 faulty. So, you know, we do. We do have issues again 00:52:30.25\00:52:34.62 internally and externally, but we need to be Christians first, 00:52:34.62\00:52:38.79 head of p***** me about this with President Obama's second 00:52:38.79\00:52:43.59 term because the first term I volunteered for his campaign 2, 00:52:43.59\00:52:48.33 big-time Democrat. I was well, 00:52:48.33\00:52:51.70 I was an Obama supporter because I really had never been 00:52:51.70\00:52:55.34 involved with politics than with C and it was historical. 00:52:55.34\00:52:59.47 And I was so happy to see. I really never thought 00:52:59.47\00:53:05.11 we would in my lifetime. We have black president, 00:53:05.11\00:53:08.05 but we did and that it has. 00:53:08.05\00:53:10.02 >> I was like I'm a white guy. I was excited that I love this 00:53:10.02\00:53:12.75 year is one of the yeah. He's way spoken. Man is a fresh 00:53:12.75\00:53:17.73 new perspective. Yes, it was excited that it was exciting 00:53:17.73\00:53:21.20 until we got further him until the second time. Then for the 00:53:21.20\00:53:25.67 second term. I really. 00:53:25.67\00:53:29.00 >> The Lord that was me was that use his platform was well, 00:53:29.00\00:53:33.74 he was really pushing the same the same sex marriage and 00:53:33.74\00:53:38.65 second term, the second time in the first term he wasn't yeah. 00:53:38.65\00:53:44.12 At the first time I would have supported it. But but the for 00:53:44.12\00:53:47.39 the second term, I could not support 00:53:47.39\00:53:50.89 and I couldn't vote at all. And I am I having come out of 00:53:50.89\00:53:55.00 the 60's. I'm a big proponent of voted because people have 00:53:55.00\00:53:58.77 died so that we could voter. So I'm a big proponent of 00:53:58.77\00:54:02.40 owning but 00:54:02.40\00:54:03.74 has a crisp. What comes first. We have to ask ourselves 00:54:03.74\00:54:07.94 whether it's on the right on the left. Is our culture come 00:54:07.94\00:54:11.21 first or does God come first the word come first and it said 00:54:11.21\00:54:16.25 sometimes it causes you to have to make a really big decision. 00:54:16.25\00:54:20.69 >> Absolutely. I'm all about civil rights freedoms rights 00:54:20.69\00:54:25.56 given to each and every person. Absolutely. We should never 00:54:25.56\00:54:28.03 take away free will. 00:54:28.03\00:54:29.66 But those 00:54:29.66\00:54:31.20 the praising in the pushing and the the the the 00:54:31.20\00:54:36.34 really preaching for those freedoms at the expense of the 00:54:36.34\00:54:39.67 morals of God's law. Why or you have to turn a blind eye. 00:54:39.67\00:54:44.98 2 of us say of the Lord of the Rings down Dacian a law of 00:54:44.98\00:54:48.82 God's government to get a freedom over here for a an 00:54:48.82\00:54:52.45 issue that is not to be taken lightly. Don't take it lightly. 00:54:52.45\00:54:55.69 But when you do it that expense, that's when you have 00:54:55.69\00:54:57.99 any. That's right. And yes, we can. We can proclaim these 00:54:57.99\00:55:00.90 freedoms but never at the expense of cots ball. 00:55:00.90\00:55:03.87 >> And back as I was saying and in the late 80's and when you 00:55:03.87\00:55:07.20 had the Falwells and robbers and they seem like nice guys, 00:55:07.20\00:55:10.11 they were doing a lot of work, people coming to the Lord, 00:55:10.11\00:55:12.87 but I could not support them. And I had Christians upset at 00:55:12.87\00:55:16.28 me and say you should do this. I said no, because they want 00:55:16.28\00:55:19.98 and their intention is to break down the wall of separation of 00:55:19.98\00:55:24.49 church and state because they want to legislate morality and 00:55:24.49\00:55:28.69 the church should not. And that they're going to influence the 00:55:28.69\00:55:31.16 government to legislate. And you know that our laws. 00:55:31.16\00:55:35.76 And so there's there's no way they should be able to do that. 00:55:35.76\00:55:39.60 Other words, it, which I really knew what was going to be it 00:55:39.60\00:55:42.80 was going to be the 4th commandment is going to be not 00:55:42.80\00:55:45.37 the last 6 commandment that is going to be the first for which 00:55:45.37\00:55:48.44 belong to got. And you know, we can we can legislate. We'll 00:55:48.44\00:55:51.48 talk about that a little bit. And we do every civilized 00:55:51.48\00:55:54.35 nation. The literally I think supports the commandments the 00:55:54.35\00:55:59.55 last 6 and student Matt. Otherwise I go kill you. 00:55:59.55\00:56:03.26 I go stale because somebody just wrote me earlier and said, 00:56:03.26\00:56:05.89 well, no country should ever know Christian ever before a 00:56:05.89\00:56:09.86 country whose legislating more laws. So I don't want to live 00:56:09.86\00:56:14.27 and what does a riad? They're going to take everything you've 00:56:14.27\00:56:18.81 got. They can take your life, you live and take everything 00:56:18.81\00:56:21.68 else. 00:56:21.68\00:56:23.01 >> And so now there are some countries that don't legislate 00:56:23.01\00:56:25.55 those last 2 commandments. Yeah, people can walk into your 00:56:25.55\00:56:28.25 home and still and taking meetings and all that and never 00:56:28.25\00:56:30.89 be prosecuted for and what we're going to have to break in 00:56:30.89\00:56:34.52 just a moment. 00:56:34.52\00:56:35.66 >> But I want to come back and continue because I felt like 00:56:35.66\00:56:39.53 that I could just 2025 people are preaching. This is going to 00:56:39.53\00:56:43.37 be at this is us and a lot we have to keep in mind, we've 00:56:43.37\00:56:46.40 been preaching this been told about it, warned about it 00:56:46.40\00:56:49.24 probably for 140 years. It hasn't happened. But all along 00:56:49.24\00:56:53.31 there's growth all along daughters warning his people to 00:56:53.31\00:56:57.35 watch what's happening. So we can't get so caught up on one 00:56:57.35\00:57:01.38 side or the other. And we'll talk about that a little bit 00:57:01.38\00:57:04.52 more. But in my case I have seen and I know that a 00:57:04.52\00:57:07.89 Christian national and so to speak, I can do more to say the 00:57:07.89\00:57:11.19 word they're they're they're some of those are we're going 00:57:11.19\00:57:14.63 to take over by force. If we have to know. Do you think I 00:57:14.63\00:57:18.27 support that is a Christian? You know, I don't care if day 00:57:18.27\00:57:21.24 have all of the names they call me white Republican, my, 00:57:21.24\00:57:25.41 you know, whatever, whatever they want to call me, no, 00:57:25.41\00:57:28.58 I don't identify with somebody who's trying to force people 00:57:28.58\00:57:33.52 against the goal of the laws have got. Now we've got to come 00:57:33.52\00:57:36.45 back. We'll talk about the other side is right and just a 00:57:36.45\00:57:39.15 moment or what's happening there and how it fits into. 00:57:39.15\00:57:42.79 And so if you don't hear that sign, you should 00:57:42.79\00:57:45.39 >> not come back. And then we've got to get the whole 00:57:45.39\00:57:47.96 truth about a minute 00:57:47.96\00:57:49.86 [MUSIC] 00:57:49.86\00:57:54.87 [MUSIC] 00:57:54.87\00:58:09.95
