Hello, I'm Lance Wilbur.
00:00:30.43\00:00:31.86
And I'm Dwayne Lemon.
00:00:31.89\00:00:33.23
And we like to
welcome you again to TKS,
00:00:33.26\00:00:35.96
a True Knowledge of Self
where we get to know ourselves
00:00:36.00\00:00:39.30
from a biblical perspective.
00:00:39.33\00:00:42.37
In our last episode,
00:00:42.40\00:00:44.01
we dealt with a
vitally important subject,
00:00:44.04\00:00:46.68
we identified the cause.
00:00:46.71\00:00:48.78
We're talking about problems,
we're talking about war,
00:00:48.81\00:00:51.78
we're talking about
all of these issues.
00:00:51.81\00:00:53.92
What does the Bible
say about the root cause?
00:00:53.95\00:00:55.98
We identified the
root cause as sin,
00:00:56.02\00:00:58.92
and we saw that the sin
00:00:58.95\00:01:00.59
that was created in
the heart of Lucifer
00:01:00.62\00:01:03.53
who God created,
who fell from heaven
00:01:03.56\00:01:05.73
and became the devil and
Satan, transferred to the earth,
00:01:05.76\00:01:08.86
and we saw that story
outline in Genesis Chapter 3
00:01:08.90\00:01:12.37
and in Genesis 3,
00:01:12.40\00:01:13.74
we see that man now
violates the instruction,
00:01:13.77\00:01:18.11
the explicit law of
God, and they enter into sin,
00:01:18.14\00:01:23.35
and we saw that the
Bible also highlights the fact
00:01:23.38\00:01:25.51
that the wages of sin is death.
00:01:25.55\00:01:27.55
It shows us that all have sinned
00:01:27.58\00:01:29.78
and fall short
of the glory of God
00:01:29.82\00:01:31.82
and in contrast to this, we
saw that God has a standard.
00:01:31.85\00:01:35.42
And God's
standard is the standard
00:01:35.46\00:01:37.63
that He has
created us to live by,
00:01:37.66\00:01:40.36
the standard that He
desires us to achieve
00:01:40.40\00:01:44.27
and live out in our daily lives,
00:01:44.30\00:01:46.43
yet we saw that
there's a gap, obviously,
00:01:46.47\00:01:50.04
that the heart is deceitfully
or desperately wicked,
00:01:50.07\00:01:53.17
is deceitful above all
things and God has a solution,
00:01:53.21\00:01:57.91
every problem
that God highlights,
00:01:57.95\00:01:59.65
He creates a solution.
00:01:59.68\00:02:01.12
So we saw in the
Bible that the Gospel,
00:02:01.15\00:02:04.19
the knowledge of
God and His character
00:02:04.22\00:02:06.86
and the character of
Jesus Christ is eternal life
00:02:06.89\00:02:10.39
in this Gospel is the
way that we might escape
00:02:10.43\00:02:13.19
from the bondage
and slavery of sin,
00:02:13.23\00:02:15.96
supernatural power
that God desires to give us
00:02:16.00\00:02:19.13
so that we can be a like
Him as he originally intended.
00:02:19.17\00:02:22.64
Now, Dwayne, we're back again
00:02:22.67\00:02:25.17
and we're talking
about this important subject.
00:02:25.21\00:02:27.28
We ended our last
discussion with the question,
00:02:27.31\00:02:30.25
which gospel?
00:02:30.28\00:02:31.75
And we can identify that
we saw in Matthew 24:14, that,
00:02:31.78\00:02:35.62
"This gospel of the King
00:02:35.65\00:02:36.99
will be
preached in all the world
00:02:37.02\00:02:38.49
and then shall the
end come for witness
00:02:38.52\00:02:40.62
and then shall the end come."
00:02:40.66\00:02:42.42
But which gospel? There
is many gospels are they.
00:02:42.46\00:02:44.09
We talked about the fact
00:02:44.13\00:02:45.46
that KRS One authored
the gospel of hip-hop,
00:02:45.49\00:02:48.33
a 600-page book that he
made for the temple of hip-hop,
00:02:48.36\00:02:52.87
moving forward believing
00:02:52.90\00:02:54.24
that this is going
to be the scriptures
00:02:54.27\00:02:56.57
moving forward
with this so-called
00:02:56.60\00:02:58.17
Divine Movement of Hip Hop.
00:02:58.21\00:03:01.61
But we're going to talk
about which Gospel is correct,
00:03:01.64\00:03:05.11
but I want to also back up
because we identified clearly
00:03:05.15\00:03:08.88
that the Biblical
definition for sin
00:03:08.92\00:03:11.52
is the transgression of the law
00:03:11.55\00:03:13.86
or the breaking of
the law or lawlessness
00:03:13.89\00:03:15.86
according to 1 John 3:4,
00:03:15.89\00:03:18.33
and we show that that law
00:03:18.36\00:03:20.00
was not the ceremonial
law, not the Levitical laws.
00:03:20.03\00:03:24.37
The law were the
Ten Commandments,
00:03:24.40\00:03:26.43
and we saw that
in the book of James,
00:03:26.47\00:03:27.90
and we saw that if we
are guilty of breaking one,
00:03:27.94\00:03:31.57
we're guilty of them all, right?
00:03:31.61\00:03:33.24
That's right.
00:03:33.27\00:03:34.61
And some people argue
that the law was a Jewish law,
00:03:34.64\00:03:39.01
in other words,
it was given by Moses
00:03:39.05\00:03:40.82
on Mount Sinai
to the Jewish nation
00:03:40.85\00:03:43.28
and that it doesn't apply to us
00:03:43.32\00:03:44.99
or doesn't apply to Adam and Eve
00:03:45.02\00:03:48.42
even over Lucifer.
00:03:48.46\00:03:50.06
What law did they break?
00:03:50.09\00:03:51.43
They've sinned...Lucifer
sinned in heaven and he fell.
00:03:51.46\00:03:54.53
Adam and Eve sinned
in the Garden of Eden.
00:03:54.56\00:03:56.50
There was no Jewish nation.
00:03:56.53\00:03:57.87
There was no Moses
giving the Ten Commandments.
00:03:57.90\00:03:59.77
So which law were they breaking?
00:03:59.80\00:04:01.80
Well, you know, I mean,
00:04:01.84\00:04:03.17
one of the things
that I like to do is
00:04:03.20\00:04:04.77
to help encourage
people to think through
00:04:04.81\00:04:07.71
either they believe
systems, their statements
00:04:07.74\00:04:10.35
and of course, think
through the scriptures.
00:04:10.38\00:04:11.91
You know, God is a God
who encourages us to think,
00:04:11.95\00:04:14.45
that's why he
says in Isaiah 1:18,
00:04:14.48\00:04:16.72
"Come now, let us
reason together and think."
00:04:16.75\00:04:19.45
And when we begin
to think and consider,
00:04:19.49\00:04:21.96
the things of God,
00:04:21.99\00:04:23.59
the thing that we
would look to and say,
00:04:23.63\00:04:25.06
"Well, first of
all, if supposedly,
00:04:25.09\00:04:27.86
the Ten
Commandments found its origin
00:04:27.90\00:04:29.73
in Mount Sinai, then someone
would have to ask the question,
00:04:29.76\00:04:33.37
then how could Moses
tell the children of Israel
00:04:33.40\00:04:36.30
in Exodus 16 which
is before Mount Sinai,
00:04:36.34\00:04:39.47
before you know,
00:04:39.51\00:04:40.84
the repetition of
the Ten Commandments,
00:04:40.88\00:04:43.58
Moses was still
telling the children of Israel
00:04:43.61\00:04:45.41
that they have to keep
God's law, God's commandments
00:04:45.45\00:04:48.02
and then, he specifically
highlighted the Sabbath
00:04:48.05\00:04:50.32
which is the Fourth
Commandment of the Ten.
00:04:50.35\00:04:52.29
So we find that, obviously,
00:04:52.32\00:04:53.66
the Ten
Commandments must have existed
00:04:53.69\00:04:55.49
before Mount Sinai
00:04:55.52\00:04:57.39
because clearly
Moses encourages them
00:04:57.43\00:04:59.73
to be prepared
to keep the fourth.
00:04:59.76\00:05:01.50
But then, even
going beyond that,
00:05:01.53\00:05:03.33
when you look at Romans 4:15,
00:05:03.37\00:05:06.37
it's a
principle, the Bible says,
00:05:06.40\00:05:08.40
"Where there is no law,
there is no transgression."
00:05:08.44\00:05:13.98
So there is no sin
when there is no law.
00:05:14.01\00:05:16.78
So if we believe
that sin took place
00:05:16.81\00:05:18.65
before there was
ever a Jewish person
00:05:18.68\00:05:20.32
who walked on this earth,
00:05:20.35\00:05:21.68
then we must
accept that there was law.
00:05:21.72\00:05:23.39
A good example of that is Cain.
00:05:23.42\00:05:25.49
Cain killed his brother Abel.
00:05:25.52\00:05:28.39
He violated the
Sixth Commandment,
00:05:28.42\00:05:30.03
"Thou shalt not kill."
00:05:30.06\00:05:31.59
God clearly show
that he was displeased
00:05:31.63\00:05:33.50
and that Cain sinned.
00:05:33.53\00:05:35.33
Well, we didn't
see anything before.
00:05:35.36\00:05:38.47
I mean, this is
Genesis Chapter 4.
00:05:38.50\00:05:40.10
But before Genesis 4, we
don't hear anything about,
00:05:40.14\00:05:42.60
"Thou shalt not kill."
00:05:42.64\00:05:43.97
So was God unjust.
No, He was not unjust.
00:05:44.01\00:05:46.07
It's just that
the law was audible.
00:05:46.11\00:05:47.44
It was something that God
was presenting to His people,
00:05:47.48\00:05:50.08
the same way the Bible.
00:05:50.11\00:05:51.45
You know, it
had a period of time
00:05:51.48\00:05:52.81
that it didn't exist
00:05:52.85\00:05:54.18
because God was
audibly speaking His words
00:05:54.22\00:05:55.98
and so Cain knew
that killing was wrong
00:05:56.02\00:05:58.39
and that's why God
was just when he said,
00:05:58.42\00:06:00.36
"Cain, here's
your results for it."
00:06:00.39\00:06:02.16
But you can go
back even to heaven
00:06:02.19\00:06:04.86
because we know
that Lucifer sinned.
00:06:04.89\00:06:06.93
He sinned against God.
00:06:06.96\00:06:08.43
The question is,
is there a law there?
00:06:08.46\00:06:10.40
Well, yes, there is
because the Bible says
00:06:10.43\00:06:12.13
in Psalms 103:20.
00:06:12.17\00:06:14.50
In Psalms 103:20, and
I want to read this one
00:06:14.54\00:06:17.97
because this is
very powerful it says,
00:06:18.01\00:06:20.18
in Psalms 103:20,
00:06:20.21\00:06:21.88
"Bless the Lord.
00:06:21.91\00:06:23.24
Ye his angels,
that excel and strength,
00:06:23.28\00:06:27.72
that do his commandments,
00:06:27.75\00:06:31.52
harkening unto the
voice of His word."
00:06:31.55\00:06:33.96
Now, if angels were
able to do or to keep
00:06:33.99\00:06:36.93
or perform God's commandments
00:06:36.96\00:06:38.79
that means that God
must have had Commandments
00:06:38.83\00:06:40.70
in existence for
angels to follow it.
00:06:40.73\00:06:43.23
So when... All you gotta do is.
00:06:43.26\00:06:44.60
You know, you
carefully go through the Bible,
00:06:44.63\00:06:46.13
you can see that
God's commandments
00:06:46.17\00:06:47.64
always existed from way
back in Heaven with the angels
00:06:47.67\00:06:50.61
down here on this
earth in the times
00:06:50.64\00:06:52.61
of Adam and Eve
and the patriarchs
00:06:52.64\00:06:54.11
and also in our day to day.
00:06:54.14\00:06:57.35
So it's fairly clear and
again with a careful study
00:06:57.38\00:07:01.28
and a careful review
and apparent contradiction
00:07:01.32\00:07:04.22
or an apparent
indiscrepancy is clear...
00:07:04.25\00:07:05.65
That's right. Yep. In the Bible.
00:07:05.69\00:07:07.49
Alright, so, we talked
again about the problems,
00:07:07.52\00:07:09.89
and we saw that those problems
that originated in heaven
00:07:09.92\00:07:12.56
translated now to earth
00:07:12.59\00:07:14.00
affected every
aspect of humanity.
00:07:14.03\00:07:15.96
Every relationship
broken, a man's environment,
00:07:16.00\00:07:19.67
his relationship with
the environment broken,
00:07:19.70\00:07:22.40
health degrades and
the wages of sin is death
00:07:22.44\00:07:26.37
and the
degrading of the human body
00:07:26.41\00:07:27.91
and the human mind,
00:07:27.94\00:07:29.28
and we saw that man's occupation
00:07:29.31\00:07:30.65
and with the curse
00:07:30.68\00:07:32.41
or the natural result
of man's transgression
00:07:32.45\00:07:35.38
where now he had
to work extremely hard
00:07:35.42\00:07:40.06
to garner the things
that God provided for him
00:07:40.09\00:07:42.89
in comparative ease
in the Garden of Eden.
00:07:42.92\00:07:46.13
Now, this... by
the sweat of his brow,
00:07:46.16\00:07:47.96
he was to obtain the
food and the necessary things.
00:07:48.00\00:07:50.93
So we saw those things
00:07:50.97\00:07:52.60
and again, we
answer the question
00:07:52.63\00:07:53.97
by saying the
Gospel is the solution,
00:07:54.00\00:07:56.07
and the question now
remains which gospel?
00:07:56.10\00:07:58.74
Are there other
gospels that are not compatible
00:07:58.77\00:08:01.21
with the gospel of scripture
00:08:01.24\00:08:02.58
and I think you
have some insight there
00:08:02.61\00:08:03.95
from scripture to help us.
00:08:03.98\00:08:05.61
You know, I believe
with all of my heart
00:08:05.65\00:08:06.98
that when we read
Matthew the 24 Chapter,
00:08:07.02\00:08:09.62
it was not by accident
that Jesus did not say,
00:08:09.65\00:08:13.56
"And a gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached
00:08:13.59\00:08:17.06
in all the world for
witness unto all nations
00:08:17.09\00:08:18.86
and then the end shall come."
00:08:18.89\00:08:20.33
I believe that Jesus
specifically said this
00:08:20.36\00:08:23.30
and the reason why
is He was being specific
00:08:23.33\00:08:25.57
because, I believe,
Jesus in insight knew
00:08:25.60\00:08:28.70
that other times
were going to come
00:08:28.74\00:08:30.67
where false
gospels would be presented.
00:08:30.71\00:08:32.81
The Bible
actually highlights this,
00:08:32.84\00:08:34.18
it's found in the book
of Galatians Chapter 1.
00:08:34.21\00:08:36.75
And I want to read this
because I believe this worthy
00:08:36.78\00:08:38.55
to note to ourselves
and also to our viewers
00:08:38.58\00:08:42.02
to understand that in
Galatians the 1 chapter,
00:08:42.05\00:08:45.45
Paul is at the
Church of Galatia.
00:08:45.49\00:08:47.46
He is working
amongst the brethren.
00:08:47.49\00:08:49.49
But there were some problems
that took place in the Galatia
00:08:49.52\00:08:51.39
to the point that God through
inspiration saw it necessary
00:08:51.43\00:08:54.76
for it to be
documented in the Bible.
00:08:54.80\00:08:56.67
It is found in
Galatians Chapter 1,
00:08:56.70\00:08:58.03
and I'm going to
read from verses 6-9.
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.60
Okay.
00:08:59.63\00:09:00.97
In Galatians Chapter 1,
we're looking at verses 6-9,
00:09:01.00\00:09:04.11
here's what Paul was noticing
00:09:04.14\00:09:05.64
because there were Judaizers,
00:09:05.67\00:09:07.18
people who were trying
to get all the new believing
00:09:07.21\00:09:10.18
Christians in Galatia,
they were trying to get them
00:09:10.21\00:09:13.01
to follow a bunch of rules
and things that God number one:
00:09:13.05\00:09:18.52
Did not ever
prescribe as well as things
00:09:18.55\00:09:20.76
that God once prescribe,
but were no longer necessary.
00:09:20.79\00:09:23.63
So mandatory things to make them
00:09:23.66\00:09:26.13
virtually become
Jews, cultural Jews first--
00:09:26.16\00:09:29.33
Yes.
00:09:29.36\00:09:30.70
Then to go on except the Gospel.
00:09:30.73\00:09:32.07
Exactly and these things started
00:09:32.10\00:09:33.50
to come amongst the
new believing gentiles
00:09:33.54\00:09:35.17
to the point that it
created a lot of confusion.
00:09:35.20\00:09:36.91
So therefore, God
had this addressed
00:09:36.94\00:09:39.51
by Brother Paul
00:09:39.54\00:09:40.88
here in Galatians 1
starting at verse 6.
00:09:40.91\00:09:42.78
Here's what it says,
00:09:42.81\00:09:44.15
I "Marvel that you are
so soon removed from him
00:09:44.18\00:09:47.32
that called you
into the grace of Christ
00:09:47.35\00:09:49.48
unto another gospel:
Which is not another:
00:09:49.52\00:09:53.46
But there be
some that trouble you
00:09:53.49\00:09:55.32
and would pervert
the gospel of Christ.
00:09:55.36\00:09:58.93
But though we, or
an angel from heaven,
00:09:58.96\00:10:01.80
preach any other gospel unto you
00:10:01.83\00:10:03.90
than that which we
have preached unto you,
00:10:03.93\00:10:05.97
let him be accursed.
00:10:06.00\00:10:08.84
As we said before,
so say I now again.
00:10:08.87\00:10:11.11
If any man preach
any other gospel unto you
00:10:11.14\00:10:12.91
than that ye have
received let him be accursed."
00:10:12.94\00:10:17.25
You know, every
time I read these verses,
00:10:17.28\00:10:19.55
I cannot help but
to get an old-time
00:10:19.58\00:10:21.45
flashback in my mind.
00:10:21.48\00:10:22.95
My father, you know,
he is sleeping right now
00:10:22.98\00:10:25.82
in the grave,
but I remember a time
00:10:25.85\00:10:27.36
when dad was
around my brothers and I
00:10:27.39\00:10:29.52
and dad was a very tall
man, broad shoulders, strong,
00:10:29.56\00:10:32.93
his stature, he was strong
00:10:32.96\00:10:34.86
and dad was not
the kind of father
00:10:34.90\00:10:36.36
that you wanted to cross.
00:10:36.40\00:10:37.93
He will let you know that
he is not pleased with you
00:10:37.97\00:10:39.90
and the wrath shall come.
00:10:39.93\00:10:42.00
And you know,
dad was a person that
00:10:42.04\00:10:44.61
if he told us to do
something, he would mean it.
00:10:44.64\00:10:47.38
In other words, if he said,
00:10:47.41\00:10:48.74
"Dwayne, I want you to go
ahead and clean up your room."
00:10:48.78\00:10:50.61
I would say, "Yes dad,
I'll go ahead and do that,"
00:10:50.65\00:10:52.35
but then there were
times that my father would say,
00:10:52.38\00:10:54.45
"Dwayne," and he called me again
00:10:54.48\00:10:55.95
and I'll say, "Yes sir,"
00:10:55.98\00:10:57.32
and he would
repeat himself and say,
00:10:57.35\00:10:59.85
"Now, I want you
to clean up your room,
00:10:59.89\00:11:01.82
and I want it done
by the time I get home."
00:11:01.86\00:11:03.99
Dad was trying to
impress on my heart
00:11:04.03\00:11:06.33
and my siblings hearts
00:11:06.36\00:11:07.70
that, "I mean
what I'm telling you
00:11:07.73\00:11:09.93
and if you don't do
what I'm telling you
00:11:09.96\00:11:11.60
judgment lay at the door."
00:11:11.63\00:11:13.60
You know, so I
find it interesting that
00:11:13.64\00:11:16.40
when I read these
verses in verse 8,
00:11:16.44\00:11:18.44
Paul is showing
God's displeasure
00:11:18.47\00:11:20.98
of perverted gospels.
00:11:21.01\00:11:22.68
Paul says, it
doesn't matter if myself
00:11:22.71\00:11:25.68
or even an angel
from heaven were to come,
00:11:25.71\00:11:27.78
if anybody gives
you another gospel
00:11:27.82\00:11:30.75
than that which
you have received,
00:11:30.79\00:11:33.05
Paul says, "Let
him be accursed,"
00:11:33.09\00:11:34.59
and then in verse 9,
00:11:34.62\00:11:36.02
Paul has to repeat
himself and therefore,
00:11:36.06\00:11:38.83
God is trying to
impress on our hearts
00:11:38.86\00:11:40.40
how much he is not
pleased with perverted gospels.
00:11:40.43\00:11:45.20
Now, when I look at
this, this again reminds me,
00:11:45.23\00:11:47.77
this is why Jesus said,
00:11:47.80\00:11:49.14
"There must be a
specific this Gospel,
00:11:49.17\00:11:52.51
not any gospel, but
this gospel of the kingdom
00:11:52.54\00:11:55.54
must be preached in
all the world for witness
00:11:55.58\00:11:57.05
unto all nations and
then the end shall come."
00:11:57.08\00:11:59.38
So I believe
this Biblical evidence
00:11:59.41\00:12:01.32
that shows that there are other
so-called good news messages
00:12:01.35\00:12:05.15
that even existed in
the days of the Apostles,
00:12:05.19\00:12:07.76
and I can
guarantee you it exist today.
00:12:07.79\00:12:09.52
Absolutely.
00:12:09.56\00:12:10.89
And so, considering the fact
now that the Bible highlights
00:12:10.93\00:12:13.93
that there are counterfeits--
00:12:13.96\00:12:15.30
Yeah.
00:12:15.33\00:12:16.67
Does the Bible then go
on to give specific examples
00:12:16.70\00:12:18.13
where Satan, the deceiver,
you know, the arch enemy of God
00:12:18.17\00:12:21.80
has manifested
these counterfeits,
00:12:21.84\00:12:24.54
demonstrated clear examples
00:12:24.57\00:12:26.78
where
counterfeits are matched up
00:12:26.81\00:12:29.31
against God's truth,
there is genuine truth.
00:12:29.34\00:12:31.71
Absolutely.
00:12:31.75\00:12:33.08
I mean when you think about it,
Satan to a very large degree,
00:12:33.11\00:12:35.38
he functions like the mafia.
00:12:35.42\00:12:37.15
You know, you
remember back in the days
00:12:37.19\00:12:39.02
we used to watch all
these gangster movies
00:12:39.05\00:12:40.39
and, you know, you watch
how the Mafia would function.
00:12:40.42\00:12:43.22
And the Mafia function in a
way where if they could not get
00:12:43.26\00:12:46.43
the person they
wanted, the target,
00:12:46.46\00:12:48.20
they would get
those whom they love.
00:12:48.23\00:12:50.70
And so it is that Satan,
he's kicked out of heaven,
00:12:50.73\00:12:53.23
you know, this
is where we started
00:12:53.27\00:12:54.60
a whole program
with Revelation 12.
00:12:54.64\00:12:56.10
There is a war in heaven,
but eventually, he gets ousted,
00:12:56.14\00:12:58.77
him and his followers,
and he is cast on the earth.
00:12:58.81\00:13:02.04
Satan cannot touch God any more,
00:13:02.08\00:13:04.05
but he can touch
those who God's heart
00:13:04.08\00:13:06.95
is indissolubly
linked to, you and me.
00:13:06.98\00:13:10.25
So therefore, Satan
knows if I afflict them
00:13:10.29\00:13:13.59
then I afflict God.
00:13:13.62\00:13:15.66
And as a result of that,
00:13:15.69\00:13:17.29
Satan's plan is
still to get back at God,
00:13:17.33\00:13:20.40
that's the focus of
the great controversy,
00:13:20.43\00:13:23.06
but he's gotten us
in the middle of it now
00:13:23.10\00:13:25.53
because he knows
how much God loves us
00:13:25.57\00:13:27.44
and how God allowed his own
Son to die that we may live.
00:13:27.47\00:13:30.54
So he comes now, and
he consistently tries
00:13:30.57\00:13:33.38
to work through people
00:13:33.41\00:13:35.61
and produce his
character through them
00:13:35.64\00:13:37.95
so that he can get back at God.
00:13:37.98\00:13:40.28
An example of this is in Egypt.
00:13:40.32\00:13:41.78
You remember that
Pharaoh, he was against God.
00:13:41.82\00:13:44.12
Pharaoh is a human
being that God loved.
00:13:44.15\00:13:46.25
Pharaoh is a human
being that was only brought
00:13:46.29\00:13:48.09
into this world as a
result of God's love.
00:13:48.12\00:13:50.23
But Pharaoh because he had
00:13:50.26\00:13:51.66
the same free
will like Lucifer had,
00:13:51.69\00:13:54.36
Pharaoh chose to go
into the wrong paths
00:13:54.40\00:13:56.70
and so it is that now,
we're at a point where Moses,
00:13:56.73\00:13:59.67
God's servant,
is before Pharaoh.
00:13:59.70\00:14:01.84
Moses says, "Let my people go."
00:14:01.87\00:14:04.01
Pharaoh says, "Who is the
Lord. I'm not going to do that."
00:14:04.04\00:14:06.78
And you know the story.
00:14:06.81\00:14:08.14
The Bible shows that
there was a test that was done.
00:14:08.18\00:14:10.85
Both of them
threw down their staffs.
00:14:10.88\00:14:13.82
Moses' staff
under the power of God
00:14:13.85\00:14:16.22
turned into a serpent.
00:14:16.25\00:14:18.09
Satan wanted to
counterfeit God's work
00:14:18.12\00:14:22.29
by working through Pharaoh
00:14:22.32\00:14:24.76
and when his magicians
threw down their serpents,
00:14:24.79\00:14:27.63
their staffs also appeared...
00:14:27.66\00:14:29.36
Their staffs also
appeared as serpents.
00:14:29.40\00:14:32.63
So we find that Satan
was trying to counterfeit
00:14:32.67\00:14:34.50
that same power of God.
00:14:34.54\00:14:35.94
There's a point
that's even more forceful.
00:14:35.97\00:14:38.04
In 2
Corinthians, the 11 Chapter,
00:14:38.07\00:14:41.01
notice this one, this
one is worthy to read.
00:14:41.04\00:14:43.24
In 2 Corinthians, Chapter 11,
00:14:43.28\00:14:45.01
the Bible says
in verse 14 and 15,
00:14:45.05\00:14:47.68
very solemn statements.
00:14:47.72\00:14:49.12
It says, "And no marvel,
00:14:49.15\00:14:52.79
for Satan himself is transformed
00:14:52.82\00:14:56.02
into an angel of light.
00:14:56.06\00:14:58.29
Therefore, it is no great thing
00:14:58.33\00:15:00.26
if his ministers
also be transformed
00:15:00.30\00:15:04.50
as the ministers
of righteousness:
00:15:04.53\00:15:07.77
Whose end shall be
according to their works."
00:15:07.80\00:15:11.54
So the label of righteousness
or the label of light
00:15:11.57\00:15:15.11
is not enough.
00:15:15.14\00:15:16.48
It's not enough. Right.
00:15:16.51\00:15:18.35
So when the warnings are given,
here's the overarching theme,
00:15:18.38\00:15:22.85
if someone
preaches another gospel,
00:15:22.88\00:15:24.52
whether it be us or
an angel from heaven
00:15:24.55\00:15:27.66
that you have not received,
00:15:27.69\00:15:29.02
which we have
not presented to you,
00:15:29.06\00:15:31.46
let them be accursed.
00:15:31.49\00:15:32.83
And then it now goes on
to give specific examples
00:15:32.86\00:15:35.26
where individuals were
say in satanic agencies
00:15:35.30\00:15:37.97
and where he's going
to even press the envelope
00:15:38.00\00:15:39.73
even further and
transform himself
00:15:39.77\00:15:42.40
into an angel of light or
minister of righteousness,
00:15:42.44\00:15:44.97
and we see now
a specific example
00:15:45.01\00:15:46.81
where this counterfeit
00:15:46.84\00:15:48.21
will try to pawn itself
off as genuine, as truth.
00:15:48.24\00:15:52.51
Now, you alluded
to something earlier,
00:15:52.55\00:15:53.98
and I want you
to expound on that.
00:15:54.02\00:15:56.55
If the counterfeit existed,
00:15:56.58\00:15:59.42
he...Satan presented it
all the way back in heaven.
00:15:59.45\00:16:01.72
That's right.
00:16:01.76\00:16:03.09
The counterfeit
manifested itself
00:16:03.12\00:16:04.46
in the beginning
with Adam and Eve
00:16:04.49\00:16:05.83
and went on to manifest itself
00:16:05.86\00:16:07.40
as you just highlighted in Egypt
00:16:07.43\00:16:08.76
with Pharaoh
against Moses and Aaron.
00:16:08.80\00:16:11.23
And it goes on even now
into the future as a warning
00:16:11.27\00:16:14.50
that there is
going to come a time
00:16:14.54\00:16:16.84
when the arch deceiver himself
00:16:16.87\00:16:19.27
will try to represent heaven
and try to lead you astray
00:16:19.31\00:16:23.41
through his representation
of this other gospel.
00:16:23.45\00:16:27.78
So if that happened then,
00:16:27.82\00:16:29.48
we're warned that it's
going to happen in the future.
00:16:29.52\00:16:31.32
How is it happening today,
00:16:31.35\00:16:32.89
specifically in the
context of hip-hop culture
00:16:32.92\00:16:35.19
where we've been talking about?
00:16:35.22\00:16:36.56
How do we see the Gospel
against this counterfeit?
00:16:36.59\00:16:39.66
You know, it's a good question.
00:16:39.69\00:16:41.03
I think this is a
good time to probably pause
00:16:41.06\00:16:42.63
and make this very point clear.
00:16:42.66\00:16:44.33
The same way that you can have
00:16:44.37\00:16:47.57
a bad organization
or bad institution,
00:16:47.60\00:16:51.04
but you can still
have good people in it.
00:16:51.07\00:16:52.74
You can still have people
who are genuine people, right?
00:16:52.77\00:16:55.34
We want to
acknowledge that on our program
00:16:55.38\00:16:57.55
to make it clear that, listen,
00:16:57.58\00:16:58.91
we're not saying that everybody
00:16:58.95\00:17:00.28
or every individual
00:17:00.32\00:17:01.65
that is involved
in hip-hop culture
00:17:01.68\00:17:03.62
is an evil person...
00:17:03.65\00:17:05.19
Persons to damnation.
00:17:05.22\00:17:07.46
Yeah, we're not going there.
00:17:07.49\00:17:09.12
What we're dealing with is,
00:17:09.16\00:17:10.49
we're dealing
with the institution
00:17:10.53\00:17:11.86
and the
philosophies that are connected
00:17:11.89\00:17:13.46
to hip-hop
culture, that are deceptive,
00:17:13.50\00:17:15.96
that are devilishly,
00:17:16.00\00:17:17.33
that are
destructive and deceptive,
00:17:17.37\00:17:19.33
and these are the things
that we want to highlight
00:17:19.37\00:17:21.34
because as an example,
if we look at our screen,
00:17:21.37\00:17:23.91
we're going to see that
there's going to be a parallel
00:17:23.94\00:17:25.47
that's going to be brought up
00:17:25.51\00:17:26.84
and the parallel is going
to show on one point this,
00:17:26.88\00:17:28.91
when we consider
Satan's activities,
00:17:28.94\00:17:31.41
one: We know that Satan,
00:17:31.45\00:17:33.15
he cast doubt
on God's character.
00:17:33.18\00:17:34.98
Okay.
00:17:35.02\00:17:36.35
That was one of the ways
that he was able to deceive
00:17:36.38\00:17:38.25
those third of an angels
00:17:38.29\00:17:39.69
and get them to
join allegiance with him.
00:17:39.72\00:17:42.32
When you look at
hip-hop today, hip-hop culture,
00:17:42.36\00:17:44.63
it also casts
doubt on God's character.
00:17:44.66\00:17:47.33
It questions who is God?
00:17:47.36\00:17:48.86
A question is does he
really have authority?
00:17:48.90\00:17:50.97
Why should I even listen to him
rather than listen to myself?
00:17:51.00\00:17:54.10
So we see a
parallel in principle,
00:17:54.14\00:17:56.04
Satan cast doubt
on God's character,
00:17:56.07\00:17:57.97
hip-hop culture casts
doubt on God's character,
00:17:58.01\00:18:00.64
the God of the Bible.
00:18:00.68\00:18:02.01
Then, Satan, he also cast
doubt on God's government.
00:18:02.04\00:18:07.42
Satan was saying
that God is not just.
00:18:07.45\00:18:09.52
God presents laws and
things that people cannot follow
00:18:09.55\00:18:11.82
or perform or do faithfully.
00:18:11.85\00:18:13.52
So it is in hip-hop culture,
00:18:13.56\00:18:15.22
it also casts doubt
on God's government.
00:18:15.26\00:18:17.86
Why should we follow that?
00:18:17.89\00:18:19.23
Who says that's
a superior rules?
00:18:19.26\00:18:20.66
Who says that's
what we should follow?
00:18:20.70\00:18:22.56
Same principle.
00:18:22.60\00:18:24.10
Satan exalted himself above
God to the point that he said
00:18:24.13\00:18:27.64
he himself is God.
00:18:27.67\00:18:29.44
We find also in hip-hop culture
00:18:29.47\00:18:31.31
that through the
teachings of knowledge of self,
00:18:31.34\00:18:33.31
it teaches that we are God.
00:18:33.34\00:18:35.74
We are above the
things that God has expressed
00:18:35.78\00:18:38.41
through his words.
00:18:38.45\00:18:39.78
Finally, it
says Satan used music
00:18:39.81\00:18:42.45
as a medium to indoctrinate
and that's very powerful.
00:18:42.48\00:18:45.85
Satan used music,
00:18:45.89\00:18:47.42
and we're going to
see this especially
00:18:47.46\00:18:48.79
when we start doing
our studies on Babylon,
00:18:48.82\00:18:51.03
and we're going to see
that Satan always use music.
00:18:51.06\00:18:52.73
He was a very musical creature
00:18:52.76\00:18:54.33
because we were
told in Ezekiel 28
00:18:54.36\00:18:55.70
that he had pipes inside of him.
00:18:55.73\00:18:57.37
So therefore, he was
able to make melodious sound.
00:18:57.40\00:19:00.00
So it is that hip-hop uses music
00:19:00.04\00:19:02.47
as a medium to indoctrinate.
00:19:02.50\00:19:05.07
So we see the
parallels that they're there,
00:19:05.11\00:19:07.48
the counterfeit
work of the enemy,
00:19:07.51\00:19:08.98
we see those same things
00:19:09.01\00:19:10.35
manifested through
the works of Satan,
00:19:10.38\00:19:12.25
now unfortunately,
00:19:12.28\00:19:13.62
through hip-hop
culture from a philosophy
00:19:13.65\00:19:16.58
and now even a
religious standpoint.
00:19:16.62\00:19:18.09
Yeah.
00:19:18.12\00:19:19.45
You know, as a
bonafide religion that,
00:19:19.49\00:19:21.59
you know, purports itself
00:19:21.62\00:19:23.43
as such is not kind of a subtle,
00:19:23.46\00:19:27.26
it's out in the open,
00:19:27.30\00:19:28.63
and it's an
aggressive and as militant
00:19:28.66\00:19:30.57
and they seek to
proselytize and evangelize,
00:19:30.60\00:19:33.70
If you will.
00:19:33.74\00:19:35.50
Now considering
all these things,
00:19:35.54\00:19:39.11
we still have to answer
the question, which gospel?
00:19:39.14\00:19:41.91
And how can we essentially
know from a biblical perspective
00:19:41.94\00:19:46.25
which Gospel or what is the...
00:19:46.28\00:19:49.08
how do we identify
the Gospel in scripture?
00:19:49.12\00:19:51.55
Now, this is a good question
00:19:51.59\00:19:52.92
because it is true we have
to know how can I identify it.
00:19:52.95\00:19:57.39
Now, there's many
ways that we can expound
00:19:57.43\00:19:59.19
on throughout our program,
00:19:59.23\00:20:00.76
and we will
from several programs
00:20:00.80\00:20:02.50
in the very near
future that we will do,
00:20:02.53\00:20:04.33
but I believe
that there's a very
00:20:04.37\00:20:06.10
simple succinct way
00:20:06.13\00:20:07.47
that we can do it
even in the few moments
00:20:07.50\00:20:09.04
that we have remaining.
00:20:09.07\00:20:10.44
Here's a good example,
Jesus often taught that,
00:20:10.47\00:20:14.34
"By their fruit,
you shall know them."
00:20:14.38\00:20:16.71
In other words, you
don't know an apple tree
00:20:16.75\00:20:18.41
until you see
apples grow off of it.
00:20:18.45\00:20:19.91
You don't know a peach tree
00:20:19.95\00:20:21.28
until you see
peaches grow off of it,
00:20:21.32\00:20:22.65
and you don't
know a cherry tree,
00:20:22.68\00:20:24.02
until you cherries grow off it.
00:20:24.05\00:20:25.39
That's the easiest way to say,
00:20:25.42\00:20:26.76
"Oh, that's what
kind of fruit that is
00:20:26.79\00:20:28.12
or that's what
kind of tree that is,"
00:20:28.16\00:20:29.49
so it is that with the
Gospel, the Gospel is something
00:20:29.52\00:20:32.09
that should bear a
certain kind of fruit.
00:20:32.13\00:20:34.53
So that way I can say,
"That's the right gospel."
00:20:34.56\00:20:37.20
The fruit is
found in Matthew 24:14.
00:20:37.23\00:20:40.97
The Bible says, "And
this gospel of the kingdom
00:20:41.00\00:20:44.47
shall be preached in
all the world for witness
00:20:44.51\00:20:46.34
unto all nations, and
then, "that word "then,"
00:20:46.37\00:20:50.38
the words that come after then
00:20:50.41\00:20:52.21
is telling us here is
the fruit of that word,
00:20:52.25\00:20:54.82
here is the result.
00:20:54.85\00:20:56.18
It says, "and then,
the end shall come."
00:20:56.22\00:20:59.52
So whatever gospel
message that the Bible reveals
00:20:59.55\00:21:04.39
that is designed to
bring about the end,
00:21:04.43\00:21:07.40
that's the gospel that
Jesus was talking about,
00:21:07.43\00:21:11.30
that's the gospel
that is trustworthy,
00:21:11.33\00:21:14.14
that has power to
bring an end to sin
00:21:14.17\00:21:16.50
and an end to
the problems of life.
00:21:16.54\00:21:18.37
Therefore, all we've
got to do is start scanning
00:21:18.41\00:21:20.68
through the Bible, where
do we find such a gospel?
00:21:20.71\00:21:22.91
Is there anything
spoken of in the Bible
00:21:22.94\00:21:24.85
that preaches
this or teaches this?
00:21:24.88\00:21:26.51
And there is, it is found
in Revelation the 14 Chapter.
00:21:26.55\00:21:29.98
In Revelation the 14
Chapter, I want you to notice
00:21:30.02\00:21:33.12
what John the Revelator says.
00:21:33.15\00:21:34.82
He says, "It was
such profound language
00:21:34.86\00:21:36.52
that it need not be
that anyone mistakes it."
00:21:36.56\00:21:39.09
It says in Revelation
14 starting at verse 6,
00:21:39.13\00:21:42.13
John the
Revelator says, "And I saw
00:21:42.16\00:21:44.43
another angel fly
in the midst of heaven,
00:21:44.47\00:21:46.63
having the everlasting Gospel
00:21:46.67\00:21:49.24
to preach under them
that dwell on the earth.
00:21:49.27\00:21:51.54
And to every nation,
00:21:51.57\00:21:52.91
and kindred, and
tongue, and people.
00:21:52.94\00:21:55.04
Saying with a
loud voice, Fear God,
00:21:55.08\00:21:57.65
and give glory to Him:
00:21:57.68\00:21:59.01
For the hour of his
the judgment is come:
00:21:59.05\00:22:01.22
And worship him that made
heaven, and earth, and the sea.
00:22:01.25\00:22:03.69
And the fountains of waters
00:22:03.72\00:22:05.49
and there
followed another angel,
00:22:05.52\00:22:06.86
saying, Babylon is fallen,
is fallen, that great city,
00:22:06.89\00:22:10.03
because she made all
nations drink of the wine
00:22:10.06\00:22:11.89
of the wrath of her fornication.
00:22:11.93\00:22:13.90
And the third
angel followed them,
00:22:13.93\00:22:15.46
saying with a loud voice.
00:22:15.50\00:22:17.00
If any man worship
the beast and his image,
00:22:17.03\00:22:19.50
and receive his
mark in his forehead,
00:22:19.53\00:22:21.34
or in his hand.
00:22:21.37\00:22:22.70
The same shall drink of
the wine of the wrath of God
00:22:22.74\00:22:26.01
which is poured
out without mixture
00:22:26.04\00:22:27.88
into the cup of his indignation:
00:22:27.91\00:22:29.84
And he shall be
tormented with fire
00:22:29.88\00:22:31.25
and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels,
00:22:31.28\00:22:33.31
and in the presence of the lamb:
00:22:33.35\00:22:35.42
And the smoke of
their torment ascended
00:22:35.45\00:22:37.82
the center
thought forever and ever:
00:22:37.85\00:22:39.19
And they have no
rest day or night,
00:22:39.22\00:22:40.82
who worship the
beast and his image.
00:22:40.86\00:22:42.46
And whosoever receive
it the mark of his name.
00:22:42.49\00:22:44.83
Here is the
patience of the saints:
00:22:44.86\00:22:47.00
Here are they that keep
the commandments of God,
00:22:47.03\00:22:49.76
and have the
faith of Jesus Christ."
00:22:49.80\00:22:52.43
Now John the
Revelator is seeing something
00:22:52.47\00:22:55.00
that is to be
proclaimed in the future.
00:22:55.04\00:22:57.41
Angels he sees going
around preaching the Gospel.
00:22:57.44\00:23:00.81
In Galatians 4:14,
00:23:00.84\00:23:03.11
Paul says that he
was received as an angel.
00:23:03.14\00:23:06.98
So therefore,
angels do not always have
00:23:07.02\00:23:08.55
to be an actual
celestial intangible
00:23:08.58\00:23:11.99
type of spiritual being...
00:23:12.02\00:23:13.36
But in fact, the Greek
word for Angle means messenger.
00:23:13.39\00:23:16.26
Exactly, so John sees messengers
00:23:16.29\00:23:18.19
and is only one
group of messengers
00:23:18.23\00:23:19.56
that we see were
committed the Gospel to
00:23:19.59\00:23:21.33
and that was human beings.
00:23:21.36\00:23:22.70
So therefore, we find
that John sees messengers
00:23:22.73\00:23:25.90
that are going all
throughout the world
00:23:25.93\00:23:27.27
and they are preaching
00:23:27.30\00:23:28.64
this three
angels Gospel message,
00:23:28.67\00:23:31.17
that's very clear,
00:23:31.21\00:23:32.57
but the question still
remains, what's the fruit?
00:23:32.61\00:23:35.34
Because even though
John sees these three angels
00:23:35.38\00:23:38.35
that are going
around, these messages,
00:23:38.38\00:23:39.95
this everlasting
Gospel, the question is,
00:23:39.98\00:23:42.58
what is the fruit of this?
00:23:42.62\00:23:45.12
You know, we still
don't see that yet,
00:23:45.15\00:23:46.86
but that's why we
need verses 14 and 15.
00:23:46.89\00:23:48.92
In the very same chapter
of Revelation 14:14 and 15,
00:23:48.96\00:23:54.06
we see the fruit of giving
00:23:54.10\00:23:56.77
the three angels
message everlasting Gospel.
00:23:56.80\00:23:59.43
Notice verse 14, "And I looked,
and behold a white cloud.
00:23:59.47\00:24:04.77
And upon the cloud one
sat like onto the Son of man,
00:24:04.81\00:24:09.11
having on his
head a golden crown.
00:24:09.14\00:24:10.91
And in his hand a sharp sickle.
00:24:10.95\00:24:12.81
And another angel
came out of the temple,
00:24:12.85\00:24:15.48
crying with a loud voice
to him the start of the cloud,
00:24:15.52\00:24:18.09
thrust in thy sickle, and reap:
00:24:18.12\00:24:21.16
For the time is
come for the to reap:
00:24:21.19\00:24:23.22
For the harvest of
the earth is ripe."
00:24:23.26\00:24:27.30
And so we find that after
the three angels' messages
00:24:27.33\00:24:30.97
of the everlasting
Gospel is given to every nation,
00:24:31.00\00:24:33.84
kindred, tongue, and
people, the Bible says,
00:24:33.87\00:24:36.50
it brings about harvest time.
00:24:36.54\00:24:39.41
That's clear.
00:24:39.44\00:24:40.78
Now, my question is,
what is harvest time?
00:24:40.81\00:24:45.35
Because whatever harvest time
is that's going to help me know
00:24:45.38\00:24:48.45
if this three angels'
everlasting Gospel message
00:24:48.48\00:24:50.95
is truly a fit for
the fruit that's connected
00:24:50.99\00:24:53.72
to what Jesus was
talking about in Matthew 24.
00:24:53.76\00:24:55.99
Does the Bible have an answer?
00:24:56.02\00:24:57.36
The Bible
definitely has an answer.
00:24:57.39\00:24:59.03
Matthew Chapter 13. All right.
00:24:59.06\00:25:00.83
In Matthew the 13 Chapter,
notice what the Bible says
00:25:00.86\00:25:04.33
in verse 39, Jesus
says, unfolding this parable
00:25:04.37\00:25:08.30
that He talked about
the wheat and the tears,
00:25:08.34\00:25:10.71
and I wish we can
go to that parable,
00:25:10.74\00:25:12.07
that parable is powerful.
00:25:12.11\00:25:13.44
But nevertheless, Jesus
is unfolding the meaning
00:25:13.48\00:25:16.95
of what all these symbols were,
He saw wheat, He saw tears,
00:25:16.98\00:25:20.55
He saw harvest, He saw
these different things.
00:25:20.58\00:25:23.18
What does it mean?
00:25:23.22\00:25:24.55
Well, the Bible
says in Matthew 13:39,
00:25:24.59\00:25:27.26
notice what it says here,
00:25:27.29\00:25:29.42
it says, "The
field is the world:
00:25:29.46\00:25:32.93
The good seed are the
children of the kingdom,
00:25:32.96\00:25:35.83
but the tears are the
children of the wicked one:"
00:25:35.86\00:25:38.13
And I apologize,
that was verse 38.
00:25:38.17\00:25:39.87
But in verse 39, it says,
00:25:39.90\00:25:41.90
"The enemy that
sowed them is the devil,
00:25:41.94\00:25:45.37
the harvest is
the end of the world,
00:25:45.41\00:25:50.55
and the reapers are the angels."
00:25:50.58\00:25:52.58
So here it is
that think about it,
00:25:52.61\00:25:55.28
Jesus said, "And
this Gospel of the kingdom
00:25:55.32\00:26:00.02
shall be preached in
all the world for a witness
00:26:00.06\00:26:02.16
unto all nations and the fruit.
00:26:02.19\00:26:04.23
Then the end shall come."
00:26:04.26\00:26:07.10
We're on a
quest, and we're looking
00:26:07.13\00:26:08.46
which Gospel is it?
00:26:08.50\00:26:09.83
Because it's lots of
gospels being present,
00:26:09.86\00:26:11.20
there's a gospel of hip-hop,
there's a gospel of this,
00:26:11.23\00:26:12.73
there's gospel of that.
00:26:12.77\00:26:14.10
How do we know
was the right one?
00:26:14.14\00:26:15.64
Well, Paul showed us
that they were false gospels
00:26:15.67\00:26:17.94
even in his day,
perverted Gospels,
00:26:17.97\00:26:20.04
and they're definitely
perverted Gospels in our day.
00:26:20.08\00:26:22.38
We go down through
history, and we now identify
00:26:22.41\00:26:25.65
that the way we can know
is that the Bible shows us
00:26:25.68\00:26:28.25
that John saw that
there is an everlasting Gospel
00:26:28.28\00:26:31.59
as revealed through
three angels' messages,
00:26:31.62\00:26:34.56
and the effect or
the fruit of this Gospel
00:26:34.59\00:26:37.69
is that when it is given
00:26:37.73\00:26:39.29
to every nation,
kindred, tongue, and people,
00:26:39.33\00:26:42.30
the Bible says, "It
brings about harvest time."
00:26:42.33\00:26:45.00
What is harvest time?
00:26:45.03\00:26:46.50
The end of the
world, perfect match,
00:26:46.53\00:26:50.04
and therefore, is the
three angels' messages
00:26:50.07\00:26:52.41
that makes up this
Gospel that by the grace of God,
00:26:52.44\00:26:55.44
if we receive this
thing in our hearts,
00:26:55.48\00:26:58.11
we can see sin come to an end
00:26:58.15\00:27:01.48
which means
problems come to an end
00:27:01.52\00:27:03.92
and which means that
Jesus is joy like never before
00:27:03.95\00:27:07.76
will remain in us
and our joy will be full.
00:27:07.79\00:27:10.43
I mean that's
absolutely amazing.
00:27:10.46\00:27:12.59
And the Bible is
its own interpreter.
00:27:12.63\00:27:17.47
That's right.
00:27:17.50\00:27:18.83
So we have
questions and these questions
00:27:18.87\00:27:20.40
that we've
thought about in our past,
00:27:20.44\00:27:21.87
that we still consider
today and meditate upon
00:27:21.90\00:27:23.91
and there's
questions that you have
00:27:23.94\00:27:25.94
and the Bible is providing
00:27:25.97\00:27:27.71
tangible
practical literal answers.
00:27:27.74\00:27:30.51
So I think, we at
least scratched the surface,
00:27:30.55\00:27:33.11
we identified which
Gospel is the Biblical Gospel
00:27:33.15\00:27:36.62
and now, we want to go back
00:27:36.65\00:27:38.02
and look at what the
Bible has to say about Babylon.
00:27:38.05\00:27:41.42
Is Babylon fallen?
And why is it fallen?
00:27:41.46\00:27:43.83
We saw it in the three
angels' messages there.
00:27:43.86\00:27:46.09
You're going to have to tune in
00:27:46.13\00:27:47.83
to hear about this
in our next episode,
00:27:47.86\00:27:50.47
and we want to invite you
to come back and remind you,
00:27:50.50\00:27:53.03
Proverbs 2:6, it says,
00:27:53.07\00:27:56.34
"The Lord gives
wisdom and out of His mouth
00:27:56.37\00:27:58.57
comes knowledge
and understanding."
00:27:58.61\00:28:00.38
