00:01:36.26\00:01:37.39

GETS TEASED SOMETIMES BY
00:01:40.50\00:01:43.73

00:02:07.09\00:02:09.92
>> AMEN. PRAISE GOD.
00:02:09.92\00:02:10.49
>> WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT FOR
JUST A MOMENT, BUT WHAT WE ARE
00:02:10.49\00:02:13.09
GOING TO BE DISCUSSING TONIGHT
IS THE FACT THAT EVERYONE ON
00:02:13.09\00:02:18.47
EARTH IS CREATING A
CHARACTER RIGHT NOW.
00:02:18.47\00:02:20.40
WE ARE DEVELOPING A
CHARACTER RIGHT NOW.
00:02:20.40\00:02:23.24
>> MM-HMM. >> WE
ARE GOING TO BE TALKING
00:02:23.24\00:02:24.47
ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF THE LAMB
AND THE DRAGON OF REVELATION.
00:02:24.47\00:02:28.91
>> AMEN. >> THIS
IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T
00:02:28.91\00:02:30.05
WANT TO MISS. SO WE
ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET YOUR
00:02:30.05\00:02:33.31
BIBLE, GET YOUR PEN AND PAPER,
CALL YOUR FRIENDS, HAVE PEOPLE
00:02:33.31\00:02:37.25
TUNE IN BECAUSE THIS IS
GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL STUDY.
00:02:37.25\00:02:40.92
>> AMEN. >> THIS
IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE
00:02:40.92\00:02:41.82
BEEN STUDYING FOR A LONG TIME,
ON THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND
00:02:41.82\00:02:45.73
DANIEL. >> MY
FAVORITE BOOK AND TONIGHT
00:02:45.73\00:02:47.10
WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT ONE OF
MY FAVORITE CHAPTERS, REVELATION
00:02:47.10\00:02:52.30
CHAPTER 12. I HAVE
OFTEN WONDERED IF I ONLY
00:02:52.30\00:02:53.70
HAD ONE CHAPTER IN THE BOOK OF
REVELATION, IF THAT WOULDN'T BE
00:02:53.70\00:02:56.30
THE CHAPTER. >> REALLY?
00:02:56.30\00:02:57.61
>> BECAUSE IT'S SO PROFOUNDLY
INSIGHTFUL, FOR US, FOR THE
00:02:57.61\00:03:01.88
WHOLE GREAT CONTROVERSY THAT WE
ARE INVOLVED IN AND HELPING US
00:03:01.88\00:03:04.75
TO PUT OUR
FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
00:03:04.75\00:03:07.05
>> ANDS TO IMPORTANT THAT
WE UNDERSTAND THAT RIGHT NOW
00:03:07.05\00:03:08.35
BECAUSE WE KNOW
SOMETIME IS SHORT.
00:03:08.35\00:03:10.35
WE SEE PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED
ALL AROUND US, AND THIS IS GOING
00:03:10.35\00:03:13.99
TO BE AN
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT STUDY.
00:03:13.99\00:03:16.96
>> ONE THING THAT -- >>
ONE THING THAT I HAVE NOTICED
00:03:16.96\00:03:19.83
IN MY MANY YEARS IS THAT IT'S A
JOY WHEN YOU FIND SOMEONE THAT'S
00:03:19.83\00:03:24.23
REALLY GOOD AT SOMETHING, TO
SIT BACK AND JUST KIND OF JUST
00:03:24.23\00:03:28.54
WATCH. >> HMM.
00:03:28.54\00:03:29.20
>> AND SO I KNOW FOR MYSELF, I'M
GOING TO ENJOY TONIGHT BECAUSE
00:03:29.20\00:03:33.51
I'M GOING TO SEE A MASTER AT
WORK, DISSECTING REVELATION 12.
00:03:33.51\00:03:38.21
>> AND THAT'S -- YOU KNOW WHEN
WE SAY A MASTER, WE ARE GIVING
00:03:38.21\00:03:41.58
GOD THE GLORY. >> AMEN.
00:03:41.58\00:03:43.18
>> BUT HE HAS DEFINITELY GIVEN
YOU THE GIFT OF TEACHING AND WE
00:03:43.18\00:03:46.45
ENJOY LISTENING TO
YOU SO MUCH. >> AMEN.
00:03:46.45\00:03:48.49

PEOPLE COMING ON EVERY DAY.
00:08:12.85\00:08:15.36
TELL US JUST A LITTLE BRIEF
SYNOPSIS OF WHAT LIGHT BEARERS
00:08:15.36\00:08:20.46
DOES. >> OKAY,
WELL, LIGHT BEARERS
00:08:20.46\00:08:22.23
MINISTRY IS A PUBLISHING,
PREACHING, TEACHING MINISTRY IN
00:08:22.23\00:08:25.73
OREGON. AND WE
HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR
00:08:25.73\00:08:27.80
ABOUT 30 YEARS. AND
MYSELF, TY GIBSON AND
00:08:27.80\00:08:33.51
JEFFREY ROSARIO AND A
GROUP OF STAFF WORK THERE.
00:08:33.51\00:08:35.94
WE HAVE PRINT LITERATURE
LIKE "THE LEAFS OF AUTUMN."
00:08:35.94\00:08:39.31
WE SEND IT ALL OVER THE WORLD.
WE PRINT ABOUT 650 MILLION
00:08:39.31\00:08:42.85
PIECES OF LITERATURE IN OVER
40 LANGUAGES TO I DON'T KNOW HOW
00:08:42.85\00:08:49.09
MANY COUNTRIES IN
THE LAST 25 YEARS OR SO.
00:08:49.09\00:08:51.33
AND THEN WE HAVE A SCHOOL
THERE CALLED THE AWRY SCHOOL.
00:08:51.33\00:08:54.60
IT'S GOING RIGHT NOW. WE
GRADUATE 60 PLUS STUDENTS IN
00:08:54.60\00:08:58.77
AMERICA AND
AUSTRALIA EVERY YEAR.
00:08:58.77\00:09:00.27
AND SO WE DO THAT FOR ABOUT 13
TO 15 WEEKS IN THE TWO DIFFERENT
00:09:00.27\00:09:04.14
LOCATIONS. AND
IT'S A TRAINING SCHOOL.
00:09:04.14\00:09:05.61
IT'S A DISCIPLESHIP SCHOOL.
IT'S SOME OF THE STUDENTS THAT
00:09:05.61\00:09:10.55
COME THERE COME AS
BRAND NEW SEEKERS OF GOD.
00:09:10.55\00:09:14.75
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW GOD.
THEY DON'T KNOW THE BIBLE.
00:09:14.75\00:09:17.09
THEY ARE NOT -- THEY DON'T
HAVE ANY RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND.
00:09:17.09\00:09:20.46
OTHERS COME FROM DIFFERENT
DENOMINATIONS AND MANY OF THEM
00:09:20.46\00:09:23.56
COME AS SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
AND THEN WE WE PREACH AND TEACH.
00:09:23.56\00:09:28.46
I'M PASTORING PART-TIME IN
BEND, OREGON AT THE CASCADES
00:09:28.46\00:09:32.70

I REALLY LOVE THE CHURCH AND
ENJOY IT AND BEING BLESSED IN
00:09:39.81\00:09:42.48
THAT CAPACITY. AND
THEN MY WIFE AND I TRAVEL
00:09:42.48\00:09:45.45
TOGETHER FROM TIME TO
TIME. SHE DOES A LOT OF HEALTH
00:09:45.45\00:09:47.65
RESEARCH AND
WRITES HEALTH NUGGETS.
00:09:47.65\00:09:49.95
AND I'M TRYING TO THINK IF
THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT I
00:09:49.95\00:09:52.52
LEFT OUT. >> YOU
HAVE TWO CHILDREN.
00:09:52.52\00:09:54.22
>> TWO CHILDREN,
MY SON, J.L. IS 22.
00:09:54.22\00:09:57.63
HE RESIDES IN
LOMA LINDA RIGHT NOW.
00:09:57.63\00:10:00.23
HE'S JUST FINISHED
PART OF HIS EDUCATION.
00:10:00.23\00:10:02.90
HE'S A PHYSICAL THERAPY
ASSISTANT, AND HE'S GOING TO GO
00:10:02.90\00:10:05.60
INTO THE DOCTORATE
FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY.
00:10:05.60\00:10:07.94
AND THEN MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS
17. WE'RE IN PORTLAND, AND SHE'S
00:10:07.94\00:10:15.48
FINISHING SCHOOL AT THE PORTLAND
ADVENTIST ACADEMY AND SHE WILL
00:10:15.48\00:10:18.08
DO SOMETHING
GREAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT.
00:10:18.08\00:10:21.32
THE KIDS ARE INSPIRING, ALL
OF THEIR ENERGY AND INTEREST.
00:10:21.32\00:10:25.92
>> AMEN. >>
AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT A
00:10:25.92\00:10:28.59
BLESSING THAT -- WHAT A BLESSING
IT IS FOR CHILDREN WHEN THEY GET
00:10:28.59\00:10:31.29
TO GROW UP IN A HOME
WHERE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES ARE
00:10:31.29\00:10:35.86
INSTILLEDSTILL AND THE
LOVE OF CHRIST HAS BEEN
00:10:35.86\00:10:42.07
INSTILLED IN THEM.
THAT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE BEEN
00:10:42.07\00:10:44.37
MODELING FOR YOUR CHILDREN
IS HOW TO HAVE A TRUE INTIMATE
00:10:44.37\00:10:46.78
RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
00:10:46.78\00:10:48.04
>> ABSOLUTELY. AND I
HOPE AND PRAY THAT, YOU
00:10:48.04\00:10:49.78
KNOW, THEY SAY TRAIN UP A CHILD
IN THE WAY THEY WILL GO AND WHEN
00:10:49.78\00:10:52.28
THEY ARE OLD, THEY
WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.
00:10:52.28\00:10:53.98
AND THAT'S MY HOPE. I
THINK IT'S EVERY PARENT'S HOPE
00:10:53.98\00:10:56.28
FOR THEIR CHILDREN. MY
KIDS AREN'T PERFECT, BUT
00:10:56.28\00:10:58.49

WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN IN
00:13:01.38\00:13:06.45
MATTHEW 7:21-23. THERE
ARE SOME VERSES THAT HAVE
00:13:06.45\00:13:09.08
TO BE SOME OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT VERSES THAT YOU ARE
00:13:09.08\00:13:10.95
GOING TO FIND. >> AMEN.
00:13:10.95\00:13:12.72
>> SPOKE FRIEND
THE LIPS OF CHRIST.
00:13:12.72\00:13:14.09
IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 7:21-23,
JESUS SAYS THAT NOT EVERYONE
00:13:14.09\00:13:19.73
THAT SAYS UNTO ME, LORD, LORD,
SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF
00:13:19.73\00:13:24.43
HEAVEN BUT HE THAT DOTH THE WELL
OF MY FATHER THAT IS IN HEAVEN.
00:13:24.43\00:13:29.44
MANY WILL SAY UP TO ME, IN THAT
DAY, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT
00:13:29.44\00:13:34.94
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME AND
IN THY NAME HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS
00:13:34.94\00:13:39.15
AND IN THY NAME DONE MANY
WONDERFUL WORKS AND VERSE 23,
00:13:39.15\00:13:43.65
THEN I WILL PROFESS UNTO THEM, I
NEVER KNEW, YOU DEPART FROM ME,
00:13:43.65\00:13:48.42
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.
THESE ARE SOLEMN VERSES AND THEY
00:13:48.42\00:13:52.23
SHOULD AWAKEN THE CONSCIENCE
OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO
00:13:52.23\00:13:55.53
PROFESSES TO BE A
FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:13:55.53\00:13:58.07
THERE ARE THREE MAJOR
ISSUES HERE THAT SHOULD CALL OUR
00:13:58.07\00:14:02.87
ATTENTION TO A SERIOUS
SELF-EXAMINATION ACCORDING TO 2
00:14:02.87\00:14:10.75
CORINTHIANS. WE
SHOULD BE IN THE FAITH.
00:14:10.75\00:14:11.81
ONE OF THEM THAT IS REALLY
DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING IS THE
00:14:11.81\00:14:15.98
IDEA OF SELF-DECEPTION.
OBVIOUSLY THESE PEOPLE DON'T
00:14:15.98\00:14:18.82
KNOW UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.
AND JESUS IS WARNING US, IT'S
00:14:18.82\00:14:21.49
NOT THE FEW, IT'S THE MANY.
AND I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS
00:14:21.49\00:14:24.76
WHY THEY DON'T KNOW IS BECAUSE
THESE PEOPLE ARE CALLING JESUS
00:14:24.76\00:14:30.63
LORD. HE'S THE
LORD OF THEIR LIVES.
00:14:30.63\00:14:32.50
IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S TELLING US
THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO PROFESS --
00:14:32.50\00:14:36.74
THAT JESUS IS LORD OF THEIR
LIFE, THAT THEY REALLY DON'T
00:14:36.74\00:14:39.71
KNOW HIM. AND I
THINK THE REASON FOR THAT
00:14:39.71\00:14:43.04
IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CONNECTED
WITH THE WORKS RATHER THAN WITH
00:14:43.04\00:14:47.85
THE PERSON. THEY ARE
SO CONNECTED WITH THE
00:14:47.85\00:14:50.02
KNOWLEDGE, RATHER THAN
THE INDIVIDUAL JESUS CHRIST.
00:14:50.02\00:14:53.19
BECAUSE THEY SAY HERE THAT THEY
HAVE DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS
00:14:53.19\00:14:55.79
IN HIS NAME. THEY
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS.
00:14:55.79\00:14:58.89
THEY PROVE SIDE. PROPHESIED.
00:14:58.89\00:15:02.36
THEY HAVE DONE MANY WONDERFUL
WORKS BUT JESUS SAYS, I DON'T
00:15:02.36\00:15:05.23
KNOW YOU. AND I
REALLY WANT TO EMPHASIZE
00:15:05.23\00:15:07.07
AS WE GO INTO THE BOOK OF
REVELATION THAT WHILE THE BOOK
00:15:07.07\00:15:09.40
OF REVELATION IS ABOUT PROPHECY,
THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE BOOK OF
00:15:09.40\00:15:14.88
REVELATION IS ABOUT A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
00:15:14.88\00:15:17.98
THAT'S THE POINT OF
THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:15:17.98\00:15:20.48
WE ARE GOING TO COME TO THE
PLACE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION
00:15:20.48\00:15:23.39
WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE USHERED
SAFELY INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD
00:15:23.39\00:15:27.49
IF WE FOLLOW THE
LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES.
00:15:27.49\00:15:30.09
THAT'S KIND OF LAST DESCRIPTION
OF GOD'S PEOPLE BEFORE WE MOVE
00:15:30.09\00:15:34.20
INTO THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
OF REVELATION 15 AND 16 AND THE
00:15:34.20\00:15:38.77
JUDGMENTS THAT TAKE
PLACE TOWARDS THE END OF BOOK.
00:15:38.77\00:15:41.34
THERE'S A PEOPLE THAT WILL
FOLLOW THE LAMB WHEREVER HE
00:15:41.34\00:15:44.17
GOES. THEY HAVE
A RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:15:44.17\00:15:46.17
JESUS. AND ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT I
00:15:46.17\00:15:47.38
THINK IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT IN
THESE VERSES IS THEY DON'T TRUST
00:15:47.38\00:15:50.38
IN THEIR WORKS FOR SALVATION.
THESE PEOPLE ARE KNOCKING ON THE
00:15:50.38\00:15:54.55
GATES AND BASICALLY SAYING WE
DESERVE HEAVEN BECAUSE WE HAVE
00:15:54.55\00:15:57.99
DONE THESE WONDERFUL WORKS AND
JESUS SAID, WAIT A MINUTE, YOU
00:15:57.99\00:16:01.02
DON'T -- YOU
DON'T COME TO HEAVEN.
00:16:01.02\00:16:02.46
YOU DON'T -- YOU DON'T EARN
YOUR SALVATION BY YOUR WORKS.
00:16:02.46\00:16:05.66
YOUR SALVATION IS CENTERED IN
A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME AND TRUST
00:16:05.66\00:16:10.10
IN ME AND LOOKING TO
ME AS YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:16:10.10\00:16:14.14
>> AND EVEN THOUGH I AGREE WITH
THAT, I ALSO SEE IN THIS, THAT
00:16:14.14\00:16:17.41
HE SAYS, ONLY HE WHO DOES THE
WILL OF MY FATHER AND THEY SAYS
00:16:17.41\00:16:22.61
AWAY FROM ME YOU HAVE
PRACTICED LAWLESSNESS.
00:16:22.61\00:16:25.28
I HAVE THINK THERE ARE A LOT
OF PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY HAVE A
00:16:25.28\00:16:29.02
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS BUT
THEY DON'T WALK IN OBEDIENCE.
00:16:29.02\00:16:31.19
THEY DON'T DO THE
WILL OF THE FATHER.
00:16:31.19\00:16:33.56
THEY ARE PRACTICING LAWLESSNESS,
NOT THAT -- YOU KNOW, THAT'S
00:16:33.56\00:16:38.53
WALKING THAT TIGHT ROPE
WHERE PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTELY IN
00:16:38.53\00:16:44.37
GALATIANS 5:4, PAUL SAID IF YOU
ARE TRYING TO BE JUSTIFIED BY
00:16:44.37\00:16:47.27
THE LAW OF YOUR WORKS, YOU
ARE ESTRAIGHTED FROM CHRIST.
00:16:47.27\00:16:50.94
>> AND THAT'S THE --
ESTRANGED FROM CHRIST.
00:16:50.94\00:16:52.91
>> AND THAT'S THE CLARIFICATION
THAT WE NEED TO MAKE.
00:16:52.91\00:16:55.51
>> YOU HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE.
>> THESE PEOPLE TRUST, NOT IN
00:16:55.51\00:16:58.88
THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST,
NOT IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS BUT
00:16:58.88\00:17:01.85
THEY TRUST IN THEIR
WORKS AS AN ENTRANCE TO HEAVEN.
00:17:01.85\00:17:04.59
THEY ARE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
AND THEY SAY WE DESERVE TO BE IN
00:17:04.59\00:17:09.56
HEAVEN BECAUSE OF THEIR WORKS.
THE ONLY REASON WHY WE NEED TO
00:17:09.56\00:17:13.13
BE IN HEAVEN IS BECAUSE
OF THE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:17:13.13\00:17:16.43
>> AMEN. >> DOES
THAT WORK PRODUCE GRACE.
00:17:16.43\00:17:18.87
IT ALWAYS PRODUCES  AN
OBEDIENT PEOPLE BUT THOSE PEOPLE
00:17:18.87\00:17:21.90
RECOGNIZE THAT THAT OBEDIENCE
IS NOT THEIR TITLE OR FITNESS OR
00:17:21.90\00:17:25.41
HEAVEN. THE TITLE
AND FITNESS IN-SEN
00:17:25.41\00:17:28.01
FOUND IN JESUS CHRIST -- FITNESS
IN HEAVEN IS FOUND IN JESUS
00:17:28.01\00:17:36.12
CHRIST. IT'S INTERESTING, I WAS
00:17:36.12\00:17:38.82
PREPARING THIS OUTLINE WEEKS AGO
FOR OUR LIVE TONIGHT, AND AS I
00:17:38.82\00:17:43.39
WAS THINKING AND PRAYING ABOUT
IT, THINKING AND PRAYING ABOUT
00:17:43.39\00:17:46.59
IT, GOD SAID YOU NEED TO
READ MATTHEW 7:21-23 FIRST.
00:17:46.59\00:17:51.60
THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO START
WITH, BUT I SAID I WANT TO START
00:17:51.60\00:17:53.80
IN REVELATION 12. YOU
KNOW HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT IS.
00:17:53.80\00:17:57.31
VERY INSISTENT. AND HE
SAID, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
00:17:57.31\00:17:59.87
THE CONNECTION IF YOU START
IN MATTHEW 7:21-23, YOU WILL SEE
00:17:59.87\00:18:03.55
THE CONNECTION, AND
THE CONNECTION IS PROFOUND.
00:18:03.55\00:18:05.75
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST IS REALLY
00:18:05.75\00:18:09.95
THE AUTHOR OF THE
BOOK OF THE REVELATION.
00:18:09.95\00:18:11.45
IT IS THE
REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:18:11.45\00:18:13.09
IT'S NOT THE
REVELATION OF THE BEAST.
00:18:13.09\00:18:15.86
IT'S NOT THE REVELATION OF THE
ANTI-CHRIST OR THE SEVEN LAST
00:18:15.86\00:18:19.23
PLAGUES, THE
ANTI-CHRIST IS IN REVELATION.
00:18:19.23\00:18:21.30
BEAST IS IN REGULATION.
THE DRAGON IS IN REVELATION.
00:18:21.30\00:18:24.93
PLAGUE IS IN REVELATION.
BUT THE THEME IS JESUS.
00:18:24.93\00:18:27.87
IT BEGINS WITH JESUS
AND IT ENDS ENDS WITH JESUS.
00:18:27.87\00:18:31.67
SO JESUS BEING THE AUTHOR IS ALL
ABOUT DEVELOPING OUR TRUST IN
00:18:31.67\00:18:34.31
HIM, CAUSING US TO SEE IN
HISTORY, PAST, PRESENT AND
00:18:34.31\00:18:37.95
FUTURE THE NEED TO PUT OUR FULL
RELIANCE UPON HIM FOR SALVATION.
00:18:37.95\00:18:42.22
AND ALSO THE NEED TO WARN
US OF THE DANGERS THAT WE FACE.
00:18:42.22\00:18:46.02
NOW, HE ALREADY WARNED US
IN MATTHEW 7:21-23 THAT SAME
00:18:46.02\00:18:51.43
WARNING, THE VERY EXACT
SAME WARNING IS THE THEME OF
00:18:51.43\00:18:56.00
REVELATION CHAPTER
12, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
00:18:56.00\00:18:57.40
>> OKAY. >> WELL,
LET ME BACK UP HERE,
00:18:57.40\00:19:00.10
BECAUSE I JUST FEEL, BOY, THIS
IS TOUGH ON THE SELF-DECEPTION.
00:19:00.10\00:19:05.87
>> MM-HMM. >>
BECAUSE THERE'S THIN, THIN,
00:19:05.87\00:19:07.68
THIN LINES RIGHT THERE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE
00:19:07.68\00:19:09.94
OUGHT THERE THAT PERHAPS DONE
EVEN KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEING
00:19:09.94\00:19:12.88
BESEVEDDECEIVED BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT SELF-DECEPTION IS.
00:19:12.88\00:19:18.85
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, THAT YOU
CALL UPON THE HOLY SPIRIT AND
00:19:18.85\00:19:24.46
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL IMPRESS YOU
AND MAYBE GET YOU ON A STRAIGHT
00:19:24.46\00:19:27.46
ROAD? >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:19:27.46\00:19:28.20
HERE'S THE PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE HAVE, J.D., IN RELATION
00:19:28.20\00:19:31.20
TO THE SPIRIT. AND
THAT IS IT IS MANY TIMES
00:19:31.20\00:19:35.54
RELIED UPON IN
ABSENCE OF THE WORD.
00:19:35.54\00:19:38.64
>> THANK YOU. >> MM-HMM.
00:19:38.64\00:19:39.94
>> BECAUSE THAT IS -- YOU
KNOW, I SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING
00:19:39.94\00:19:42.74
DECEIVED IN TWO
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
00:19:42.74\00:19:44.45
I SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING
DECEIVED BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY
00:19:44.45\00:19:47.65
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS, IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS A
00:19:47.65\00:19:51.85
FEEL-GOOD THING AND MAYBE THEY
GO OUT AND DO SERVICE, BUT THEY
00:19:51.85\00:19:56.96
DON'T KNOW HIM IN JOHN 17:3,
THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE THAT THEY
00:19:56.96\00:20:03.73
KNOW YOU THE FATHER AND YOU WHO
HE SENT, HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.
00:20:03.73\00:20:07.07
BUT THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW THAT
WHEN JESUS SAID IF YOU LOVE ME,
00:20:07.07\00:20:11.51
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, THAT WE
DON'T KEEP COMMANDMENTS TO EARN
00:20:11.51\00:20:16.31
SALVATION. WE KEEP
COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE WE
00:20:16.31\00:20:17.95
ARE SAVED AND GOD'S WORKING
IN US TO WILL AND DO HIS GO
00:20:17.95\00:20:22.12
PLEASURE. SO
THERE'S THAT ONE GROUP WHO
00:20:22.12\00:20:26.12
ARE HEARERS OF THE WORD BUT
NOT DOERS OF WORD AND JAMES SAYS
00:20:26.12\00:20:29.32
THAT'S WHEN YOU
DECEIVE YOURSELF.
00:20:29.32\00:20:30.69
BUT THE OTHER GROUP IS
THE ONES WHO THINK, OKAY.
00:20:30.69\00:20:34.50
I'M DOING EVERYTHING THAT GOD
SAYS ME TO AND THEY ARE TRYING
00:20:34.50\00:20:38.23
TO EARN THEIR WAY
TO HEAVEN. >> RIGHT.
00:20:38.23\00:20:40.50
>> THAT DECEPTION, YOU CAN FALL
OFF ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DITCH.
00:20:40.50\00:20:43.41
>> AND THAT'S WHY REVELATION
CHAPTER 12 IS SO SIGNIFICANT.
00:20:43.41\00:20:46.41
>> YES. YES.
00:20:46.41\00:20:48.28
>> REVELATION CHAPTER 12 BEGINS
IN VERSE ONE WITH THIS PHRASE
00:20:48.28\00:20:50.68
"AND THERE APPEARED A
GREAT WANDER OR SIGN IN HEAVEN."
00:20:50.68\00:20:55.68
THIS WORD IN THE GREEK SUGGESTS
SOMETHING COMPLETELY OUT OF THE
00:20:55.68\00:21:01.92
ORDINARY. SOMETHING
EXTRAORDINARY HAS JUST
00:21:01.92\00:21:03.26
BEEN CITED BY JOHN
IN VISION, IN HEAVEN.
00:21:03.26\00:21:07.23
>> OKAY. >> THIS
IS SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
00:21:07.23\00:21:08.13
THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT IS NOT YOUR NORM.
00:21:08.13\00:21:10.03
AND SO IT'S VITAL FOR US
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SEEING
00:21:10.03\00:21:14.27
RIGHT HERE TO BREAK THIS DOWN
BECAUSE THE BOOK OF REVELATION
00:21:14.27\00:21:17.31
IS WRITTEN IN SYMBOLIC FORM.
IT WAS SIGNIFIED THE KING JAMES
00:21:17.31\00:21:22.71
SAYS. NOW A LOT
OF NEW TRANSITIONS
00:21:22.71\00:21:24.35
LEAVE OUT THAT WORD SIGNIFIED.
IT'S NOT IN THE GREEK, BUT IT'S
00:21:24.35\00:21:27.62
VERY PRESENT IN
THE TEXAS RECEPTUS.
00:21:27.62\00:21:34.09
IT SUGGESTS THAT THE BOOK
OF REVELATION IS SYMBOLIC.
00:21:34.09\00:21:36.62
THE WORD THAT IS SUBSTITUTED FOR
IT IN THE NEWER TRANSLATIONS IS
00:21:36.62\00:21:41.56
IT WAS COMMUNICATED.
IT DOESN'T GIVE THE NAME
00:21:41.56\00:21:44.90
REFERENCE THAT SIGNIFY
GIVES, SYMBOLIC, SYMBOLIZED.
00:21:44.90\00:21:48.10
WE WILL SEE THIS NOT ONLY
THROUGH THE ENTIRE BOOK OF
00:21:48.10\00:21:50.01
REVELATION BUT ESPECIALLY IN
REVELATION CHAPTER 12 BECAUSE IN
00:21:50.01\00:21:53.68
REVELATION CHAPTER 12, WHEN
JOHNS SEES THIS INCREDIBLE SIGHT
00:21:53.68\00:21:57.88
THAT'S EXTRAORDINARY, HE SEES A
WOMAN AND SHE'S CLOTHED WITH THE
00:21:57.88\00:22:02.05
SUN AND SHE'S STANDING ON THE
MOON AND A CROWN OF 12 STARS ON
00:22:02.05\00:22:05.95
HER HEAD. YOU'RE
LIKE, OKAY, THAT'S A
00:22:05.95\00:22:07.76
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT!
IT'S A LITTLE BIT -- WOW!
00:22:07.76\00:22:10.56
YOU KNOW? JOHN!
00:22:10.56\00:22:13.26
>> WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS
MEAN? >> WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
00:22:13.26\00:22:16.46
AND DEFINITELY THIS IS SYMBOLIC.
NOW A WOMAN, IT'S EASY TO BREAK
00:22:16.46\00:22:21.20
DOWN. ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, OLD
00:22:21.20\00:22:23.74
TESTAMENT, NEW TESTAMENT,
A WOMAN SYMBOLIZES A CHURCH.
00:22:23.74\00:22:28.24
GOD'S PEOPLE. I HAVE
LIKENED THE DAUGHTER ZION
00:22:28.24\00:22:31.35
TO A DELICATE WOMAN
JEREMIAH, I THINK IT'S 6:2.
00:22:31.35\00:22:38.02
>> 6:2. >> IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT, 2
00:22:38.02\00:22:42.42
CORINTHIANS 11:1, 2, 3, 4,
SOMEWHERE IN THERE, PAUL SAYS I
00:22:42.42\00:22:46.13
WANT TO PRESENT YOU TO
CHRIST AS A CHASED VIRGIN.
00:22:46.13\00:22:49.96
IN EPHESIANS CHANT
5:27, 28, 29, AND ONWARD.
00:22:49.96\00:22:56.97
PAUL LIKENS THE CHURCH TO THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A HUSBAND
00:22:56.97\00:23:02.88
AND WIFE. CHRIST
IS THE HUSBAND AND THE
00:23:02.88\00:23:05.38
CHURCH IS THE BRIDE. THE
SYMBOLISM OF A WOMAN IS THE
00:23:05.38\00:23:10.49
CHURCH. THIS
WOMAN RIGHT HERE IS THE
00:23:10.49\00:23:11.59
CHURCH OF THE GOD.
NOW WE WILL FIND THAT THIS
00:23:11.59\00:23:13.96
DESCRIPTION OF THE WOMAN HERE
IS THE CHURCH OF GOD IN THE OLD
00:23:13.96\00:23:18.39
TESTAMENT AND IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:23:18.39\00:23:19.93
AS WE GO THROUGH
THIS ENTIRE CHAPTER.
00:23:19.93\00:23:21.53
WE WILL FIND THAT THIS WOMAN
IS A CHURCH OF GOD IN THE OLD
00:23:21.53\00:23:23.83
TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
AND WE'LL LOOK FOR SOME EVIDENCE
00:23:23.83\00:23:26.00
FOR THAT. BUT I
WANT OUR VIEWERS TO BE
00:23:26.00\00:23:28.24
THINKING RIGHT NOW AS WE MOVE
THROUGH THESE VERSES, THEY NEED
00:23:28.24\00:23:30.54
TO BE THINKING WHAT ARE THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WOMAN, OF
00:23:30.54\00:23:35.04
THE CHURCH, OF
THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE LAMB?
00:23:35.04\00:23:36.51
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE LAMB-LIKE?
00:23:36.51\00:23:39.85
BECAUSE WE WILL BE COMPARING THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD'S PEOPLE
00:23:39.85\00:23:42.32
WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF THOSE WHO FOLLOW SATAN, THE
00:23:42.32\00:23:46.76
DRAGON. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE
00:23:46.76\00:23:48.46
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAMB, OF
JESUS, AND THE CHARACTERISTICS
00:23:48.46\00:23:52.23
OF THE DRAGON.
TONIGHT WE WANT TO BE TOTALLY
00:23:52.23\00:23:54.13
OPEN BECAUSE WE WILL FIND IF WE
ARE HONEST WITH OURSELVES, THAT
00:23:54.13\00:23:57.20
WE, INDEED, HAVE SOME OF THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DRAGON.
00:23:57.20\00:24:01.14
>> THE DRAGON. >> AND
WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE
00:24:01.14\00:24:03.57
OPEN AND RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN
THE BIBLE IS IDENTIFYING THESE
00:24:03.57\00:24:06.37
VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS,
IT'S NOT TRYING TO CONDEMN US.
00:24:06.37\00:24:09.71
IT'S NOT TRYING
TO MAKE US FEEL BAD.
00:24:09.71\00:24:11.65
IT'S TRYING TO CONVICT US
SO WE CAN COME TO A PLACE OF
00:24:11.65\00:24:14.88
REPENTANCE AND MORE
RELIANCE ON THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:24:14.88\00:24:16.89
IF WE SEAL OUR HEARTS AND
SAY, NO, AND HAVE THAT SPIRITUAL
00:24:16.89\00:24:21.29
RELIGIOUS PRIDE, WE WILL
FIND OURSELVES GOING IN THE SAME
00:24:21.29\00:24:25.19
DIRECTIONS SO MANY OF GOD'S
PEOPLE IN THE PAST WHO TURNED
00:24:25.19\00:24:28.00
AWAY FROM HIS LOVELY VOICE
AS THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS TRYING TO
00:24:28.00\00:24:31.53
CONVICT THEM THAT THEY HAD A
GREATER NEED, A GREATER NEED TO
00:24:31.53\00:24:35.34
GROW IN JESUS. >> I
KNOW WE ARE GETTING TO
00:24:35.34\00:24:37.07
THIS, BUT THOSE WHO MAY NOT
BE FAMILIAR WITH REVELATION, THE
00:24:37.07\00:24:39.84
LAMB SIGNIFIES JESUS CHRIST.
>> YES, THANK YOU, SHELLEY.
00:24:39.84\00:24:43.41
ABSOLUTELY. >> AND
THE DRAGON SIGNIFIES THE
00:24:43.41\00:24:45.31
DEVIL. SO THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
00:24:45.31\00:24:47.32
>> YES. THAT'S
VITALLY IMPORTANT.
00:24:47.32\00:24:49.02
SO THE LAMB REPRESENTS CHRIST.
THE LAMB OF THE GOD, WHO TAKES
00:24:49.02\00:24:51.82
AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
AND THE DEVIL, WELL, RIGHT HERE
00:24:51.82\00:24:54.72
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12,
EXCUSE ME, THE DRAGON HERE IN
00:24:54.72\00:25:01.33
REVELATION IS THE
SYMBOL OF THE DEVIL.
00:25:01.33\00:25:04.43
AND THE SUN. SHE'S
CLOTHED WITH THE SUN.
00:25:04.43\00:25:08.37
IF THE VIEWERS HAVE A
HARD TIME FINDING MALACHI.
00:25:08.37\00:25:12.24
IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO MATTHEW.
IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE FIRST
00:25:12.24\00:25:14.58
BOOK OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
IT'S THE LAST BOOK OF THE OLD
00:25:14.58\00:25:18.55
TESTAMENT. MALACHI 4:2.
00:25:18.55\00:25:21.58
I WANT US TO LOOK AT THIS VERSE.
ALL OF THE VERSES DEALING WITH
00:25:21.58\00:25:24.55
THIS SYMBOL, OR THESE SYMBOLS
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
00:25:24.55\00:25:29.56
FOR US TO
UNDERSTAND THESE SYMBOLS.
00:25:29.56\00:25:31.16
JOHN IS SEEING SOMETHING
STUPENDOUS, AND SOMETHING THAT'S
00:25:31.16\00:25:35.43
VITAL. THE
PICTURE OF REVELATION 12:1
00:25:35.43\00:25:37.73
IS THE SUMMATION OF THE FIRST 11
11 CHAPTERS OF REVELATION AND IT
00:25:37.73\00:25:41.87
WILL TAKE US THROUGH THE
LAST CHAPTERS OF REVELATION.
00:25:41.87\00:25:45.81
IT'S THE EPICENTER.
THIS IS OUR DESTINATION AS A
00:25:45.81\00:25:48.84
PEOPLE. REVELATION
12:1 IS OUR DESTINY.
00:25:48.84\00:25:51.28
I CAN'T MAKE THIS -- I WISH I
COULD MAKE THIS AS IMPORTANT AND
00:25:51.28\00:25:53.72
SIGNIFICANT AS IT IS.
I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT
00:25:53.72\00:25:56.42
REVELATION 12:1 TO
EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE.
00:25:56.42\00:25:58.82
NOW WE AS ADVENTISTS PUT A
LOT OF IMPORTANCE, PERHAPS IN
00:25:58.82\00:26:03.29
REVELATIONS
12:1. IT'S IMPORTANT.
00:26:03.29\00:26:05.16
WE PUT A LOT OF
IMPORTANCE? REVELATION 14:12.
00:26:05.16\00:26:08.40
AND THEY ARE TO HAVE THE FAITH
OF JESUS AND HERE THEY THE LOVE
00:26:08.40\00:26:15.14
OF JESUS.
REVELATION 12:1 IS THE MOST
00:26:15.14\00:26:18.07
IMPORTANT
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:26:18.07\00:26:19.81
I WILL TELL YOU WHY ON A SIDE
NOTE, BECAUSE THE REMNANT WHO
00:26:19.81\00:26:22.38
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD IN REVELATIONS 12:17 ARE THE
00:26:22.38\00:26:25.68
REMNANT OF THE WOMAN IN
12:1. AND THEY CAN'T KEEP THE
00:26:25.68\00:26:29.25
COMMANDMENTS AND THEY
CAN'T BE THE REMNANT UNLESS THEY
00:26:29.25\00:26:32.35
UNDERSTAND THE WOMAN'S
DESCRIPTION IN REVELATION 12:1.
00:26:32.35\00:26:35.26
>> THAT'S GOOD. >>
ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?
00:26:35.26\00:26:37.66
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> SO
MALACHI 4:2 TELLS US QUITE
00:26:37.66\00:26:41.23
CLEARLY, BUT UNTO YOU THAT
FEAR MY NAME, SHOULD THE SON OF
00:26:41.23\00:26:46.23
RIGHTEOUS ARISE WITH HEALING IN
HIS WINGS AND YOU WILL GO FORTH
00:26:46.23\00:26:48.64
AND GROW UP AS CALVES OF
STALL. THE SON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:26:48.64\00:26:53.91
THIS SON REST REPRESENTS OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:26:53.91\00:26:57.85
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
JESUS CHRIST IS THE THEOLOGICAL
00:26:57.85\00:27:05.89
REPRESENTATION
OF HIS RESURRECTION.
00:27:05.89\00:27:08.12
IT'S SUMMARIZED IN 1 CORINTHIANS
1:30-31 AND IT TALKS ABOUT HOW
00:27:08.12\00:27:14.50
WE ARE SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD
AND THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
00:27:14.50\00:27:20.20
EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED, OUR
TITLE AND FITNESS FOR-SEN FOUND
00:27:20.20\00:27:22.97
IN THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:27:22.97\00:27:24.61
-- FOR HEAVEN IS FOUND IN
THE RIGHTEOUS N OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:27:24.61\00:27:27.14
SO THE WOMAN IS CLOSED
WITH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS.
00:27:27.14\00:27:30.28
>> NOW THIS DESCRIBES
GOD'S PEOPLE IN EVERY AGE.
00:27:30.28\00:27:34.25
GOD'S FAITHFUL
PEOPLE WERE SAVED BY FAITH.
00:27:34.25\00:27:36.02
THEY LOOK FORWARD TO THE CROSS.
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, GOD'S
00:27:36.02\00:27:39.85
FAITHFUL PEOPLE
ARE SAVED BY FAITH.
00:27:39.85\00:27:41.19
THEY LOOK BACK TO THE CROSS.
EVERY GENERATION OLD TEST.
00:27:41.19\00:27:46.19
AND NEW TESTAMENT LOOKS
TO THE CROSS FOR SALVATION.
00:27:46.19\00:27:50.13
EPHESIANS CHAPTER
1 11 TELLS US THAT.
00:27:50.13\00:27:54.24
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE
THAT ALL THE GRACE THAT WAS IN
00:27:54.24\00:27:56.67
THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT WE
WERE ALWAYS SAVED BY GRACE.
00:27:56.67\00:27:59.34
IT'S NOT TWO DIFFERENT
DISPENSATIONS WHERE ONCE IT WAS
00:27:59.34\00:28:02.31
BY WORKS AND
THERE AGAIN BY GRACE.
00:28:02.31\00:28:06.82
ISAIAH 64:6, AND JEREMIAH
23-6 TALKS ABOUT THE LORD OUR
00:28:06.82\00:28:14.22
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
>> YOU GOT IT RIGHT.
00:28:14.22\00:28:17.06
>> SO THEY ALWAYS LOOKED TO
GOD AND THROUGH THE SANCTUARY
00:28:17.06\00:28:21.26
SERVICE, THEY UNDERSTOOD THE
COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
00:28:21.26\00:28:24.27
>> AND HEBREWS 11
MAKES THAT VERY CLEAR.
00:28:24.27\00:28:26.87
>> YES. >> ABRAHAM
WAS SAVED BY FAITH.
00:28:26.87\00:28:28.87
JACOB WAS SAVED BY
FAITH. MOSES WAS SAVED BY FAITH.
00:28:28.87\00:28:31.61
THE WHOLE CHAPTER OF HEBREWS
11 ESTABLISHES RIGHTEOUSNESS BY
00:28:31.61\00:28:35.38
FAITH IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
THERE'S A LOT OF GRACE.
00:28:35.38\00:28:37.81
THERE'S A LOT OF GOSPEL.
THE GOSPEL IS PREACHES UNDER
00:28:37.81\00:28:40.72
THEM AS WELL AS
US. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:28:40.72\00:28:43.99
>> EMPHATICALLY IN HEBREWS 4:2.
>> AND JESUS SAID ABRAHAM SAW MY
00:28:43.99\00:28:47.79
DAY AND HE WAS GLAD. >> GLAD!
00:28:47.79\00:28:50.06
>> SO HE KNEW, I BELIEVE WHEN
HE SAW IT WAS -- WHEN GOD WAS
00:28:50.06\00:28:52.76
CUTTING COVENANT
WITH HIM. >> YES.
00:28:52.76\00:28:54.86
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> AND
WHEN HE WENT THROUGH, HE
00:28:54.86\00:28:56.87
SAW WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.
I THINK THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T
00:28:56.87\00:29:00.80
MIND -- WELL, NOT THAT HE DIDN'T
MIND BUT WHY HE WAS ABLE TO EVEN
00:29:00.80\00:29:05.41
OFFER ISAAC IS BECAUSE HE
FIGURED IN REVELATION -- I MEAN
00:29:05.41\00:29:11.15
HEBREWS CH CHAPTER 11 SAYS THAT,
THAT GOD COULD RAISE HIM FROM
00:29:11.15\00:29:14.92
THE DEAD. I HAVE
THINK HE SAW JESUS' DAY
00:29:14.92\00:29:17.82
AND HE TAUGHT EVERYONE ELSE.
>> HE SAW JESUS' DAY BECAUSE HE
00:29:17.82\00:29:21.12
SAW IT IN ISAAC. HE SAW
THE SACRIFICE IN HIS SON
00:29:21.12\00:29:24.69
AND REALIZED THAT GOD
HIMSELF WOULD PROVIDE A LAMB.
00:29:24.69\00:29:27.76
>> I WANT YOU TO SEE
WHY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
00:29:27.76\00:29:29.70
IF THIS WOMAN IS CLOTHED WITH
THE SUN AND THE SUN REPRESENTS
00:29:29.70\00:29:32.00
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS
CHRIST, HIS PERFECT LIFE AND HIS
00:29:32.00\00:29:35.00
PERFECT DEATH, HIS RESURRECTION,
THE ONLY WAY ANYONE CAN EVER
00:29:35.00\00:29:38.44
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD,
CAN EVER BE A REMNANT IF THEY
00:29:38.44\00:29:42.11
ARE THIS WOMAN, IF THEY ARE
CLOTHED WITH THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:29:42.11\00:29:44.45
DO YOU SEE THE
CONNECTION NOW? >> YES.
00:29:44.45\00:29:46.95
>> YOU CANNOT ISOLATE
VERSE 17 FROM VERSE 12:1.
00:29:46.95\00:29:52.29
>> THAT'S GREAT. >> IF
WE WANT TO BE OFFSPRING WE
00:29:52.29\00:29:55.09
NEED TO BE CLOTHED WITH THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST
00:29:55.09\00:29:57.09
AND THEN WE WILL KEEP
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.
00:29:57.09\00:30:00.80
THE NEXT SYMBOL IS THAT
SHE IS STANDING ON THE MOON.
00:30:00.80\00:30:07.60
YOU TOOK YOUR GLASSES OFF.
>> WHEN I THINK OF SUN, I THINK
00:30:07.60\00:30:10.81
OF PLANTS AND ANIMAL MS.S AND I
THINK THE SUN AND HOW IMPORTANT
00:30:10.81\00:30:15.04
THE GIFT IS TO EACH
ONE OF THEM. >> MM-HMM.
00:30:15.04\00:30:17.58
>> AND THEN YOU TURN AROUND AND
HOW IMPORTANT THE SUN IS TO EACH
00:30:17.58\00:30:22.78
ONE OF US THAT
CAN REVITALIZE US.
00:30:22.78\00:30:26.22
YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST
-- I'M A VISUAL PERSON.
00:30:26.22\00:30:29.76
>> AMEN. >> SO
TRYING TO VISUALIZE THIS,
00:30:29.76\00:30:31.69
SO I SEE HOW IMPORTANT THE IS
UP OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE ROBE OF
00:30:31.69\00:30:36.93
RIGHTEOUSNESS. >>
INTO OUR GROWTH, JUST LIKE
00:30:36.93\00:30:38.47
THE NATURAL. >> AMEN.
00:30:38.47\00:30:42.50
>> THE NEXT SYMBOL, I WILL MOVE
ALONG HERE A LITTLE BIT FASTER
00:30:42.50\00:30:44.97
BECAUSE I KNOW WE WILL RUPP
SHORT OF -- RUN SHORT OF TIME.
00:30:44.97\00:30:47.98
WE MIGHT RUN OUT
OF TIME. THAT'S OKAY.
00:30:47.98\00:30:49.64
I WILL COME BACK. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:30:49.64\00:30:51.01
I KNOW YOU. I
KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.
00:30:51.01\00:30:53.35
>> AMEN. >> THE SUN
AND THEN IT SAYS AND
00:30:53.35\00:30:55.95
THE MOON UNDER HER
FEET. SHE'S CLOTHED WITH THE
00:30:55.95\00:30:59.55
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST
AND SHE STANDING ON SOMETHING.
00:30:59.55\00:31:01.79
THERE'S SOME TERRA FIRMA TYPE OF
THING UNDER HER FEAST AND IT'S
00:31:01.79\00:31:05.23
DESCRIBED AS THE MOON.
WHAT DOES THE MOON SYMBOLIZE.
00:31:05.23\00:31:08.96
IT'S THE LESSER RIGHT LEADING
TO THE GREATER LIGHT AND THE
00:31:08.96\00:31:11.47
GREATER LIGHT IS JESUS.
THE GREATER LIGHT IS GOD.
00:31:11.47\00:31:13.30
AND SO WHAT IS IT THAT
LEADS TO US THAT GREATER LIGHT?
00:31:13.30\00:31:18.57
PSALM 119:105 SAYS THIS, THY
WORD IS A LIGHT UNTO MY FEET AND
00:31:18.57\00:31:22.98
A LAMP -- HOW DOES THAT GO?
A LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND A LIGHT
00:31:22.98\00:31:27.22
TO MY PATH. AND
THAT WORD LIGHT IN HEBREW
00:31:27.22\00:31:29.78
TALKS ABOUT OR IS -- IN THE
ORIGINAL LANGUAGE, INFERS THE
00:31:29.78\00:31:34.49
LUMINARIES, THE SUN,
THE MOON AND THE STARS.
00:31:34.49\00:31:37.53
THIS IS A SYMBOL OF GOD'S
CHURCH THAT IS CLOTHED WITH THE
00:31:37.53\00:31:41.76
SALVATION, RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
JESUS CHRIST AND IS STANDING
00:31:41.76\00:31:43.93
FIRMLY ON THE WORD OF GOD.
THE WORD OF GOD IS WHAT GUIDES
00:31:43.93\00:31:48.17
HERE. WE TALK
ABOUT THE SPIRIT LEADING
00:31:48.17\00:31:49.67
US. THE SPIRIT LEADING US.
00:31:49.67\00:31:51.34
WELL, THE SPIRIT IS THE
AUTHOR OF THE WORD OF GOD.
00:31:51.34\00:31:53.84
YOU CAN'T SEPARATE THE SPIRIT
FROM THE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE ALL
00:31:53.84\00:31:56.64
SCRIPTURE IS
INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:31:56.64\00:31:58.28
SO THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADS US
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES US THE
00:31:58.28\00:32:00.82
STRENGTH AND THE PROMISES AND
THE EMOTIONS AND THE FEELINGS
00:32:00.82\00:32:03.28
THAT ARE IN HARMONY WITH
THE WORD THAT IT HAS INSPIRED.
00:32:03.28\00:32:06.32
IT DOESN'T SPEAK
CONTRARY TO ITS WORD.
00:32:06.32\00:32:08.22
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT. >>
SO, OF COURSE, GEORGE W.
00:32:08.22\00:32:09.99
B -- YOU AREGOING TO HAVE A
PEOPLE. OF COURSE THEY WILL BE
00:32:09.99\00:32:15.16
KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
BECAUSE THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
00:32:15.16\00:32:20.20
ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO HIS
WORD. THEY WON'T BE KEEPING THE
00:32:20.20\00:32:22.20
COMMANDMENTS OF MAN.
THEY WON'T BE KEEPING A
00:32:22.20\00:32:23.97
DIFFERENT SET OF COMMANDMENTS IN
WHICH THE WORD OF GOD OUTLINES
00:32:23.97\00:32:27.38
THE COMMANDMENTS ARE.
SO THIS VERSE IS VITAL!
00:32:27.38\00:32:30.48
>> AMEN. >> THIS
VERSE IS FOUNDATIONAL.
00:32:30.48\00:32:31.85
AND THEN IT SAYS THAT SHE HAS
A CROWN OF 12 STARS ON HER HEAD.
00:32:31.85\00:32:36.48
NOW 12 IS THE KINGDOM NUMBER.
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT AND
00:32:36.48\00:32:39.95
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER. IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD CHOSE
00:32:39.95\00:32:42.72
12 TRIBES. IN THE
NEW TESTAMENT GOD CHOSE
00:32:42.72\00:32:46.13
12 APOSTLES. BOTH OF THEM WERE
00:32:46.13\00:32:48.36
REPRESENTATIONS OF HIS CHURCH,
THE 12 TRIBES, OLD TESTAMENT
00:32:48.36\00:32:51.57
CHURCH, LITERAL JEWS.
THE 12 APOSTLES, EVEN THOUGH
00:32:51.57\00:32:56.54
THEY WERE ALL LITERAL JEWS ALSO.
GOD MADE A TRANSITION FROM THE
00:32:56.54\00:33:00.41
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT FROM
THE LITERAL JEWS TO WHAT PAUL
00:33:00.41\00:33:04.51
DESCRIBED AS SPIRITUAL JEWS.
IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST, YOU ARE
00:33:04.51\00:33:07.55
ABRAHAM AND SEED AND HEIRS
ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE AND YOU
00:33:07.55\00:33:10.69
ARE NOT AWE JEW, ROMANS 2:28-29
BUT ONE WHICH IS LEE AND NOT
00:33:10.69\00:33:16.93
CIRCUMCISION OF THE
FLESH BUT OF THE HEART.
00:33:16.93\00:33:18.56
NOT IN THE LETTER BUT IN
THE SPIRIT WHAT YOU HAVE IS A
00:33:18.56\00:33:20.96
TRANSITION TAKING PLACE,
NOT ONLY IN THE OLD AND NEW
00:33:20.96\00:33:25.00
TESTAMENT. THAT'S VERY CLEAR.
00:33:25.00\00:33:26.03
WE ALL KNOW THAT WHEN JESUS
CAME, HE SAID TO THE JEWS IN THE
00:33:26.03\00:33:29.20
TEMPLE, YOUR HOUSE IS
LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE.
00:33:29.20\00:33:32.41
WE ALL KNOW THAT HE MADE THAT
TRANSITION AND ESTABLISHED A NEW
00:33:32.41\00:33:35.61
CHURCH, CHRISTIAN
BECAUSE IT WAS NAMED AFTER HIM.
00:33:35.61\00:33:37.71
THEY ARE CHRISTIANS.
THEY ARE LIKE CHRIST.
00:33:37.71\00:33:39.75
THEY ARE CHRIST-LIKE WHICH
FITS INTO OUR THEME TONIGHT.
00:33:39.75\00:33:42.78
>> AMEN. >> BUT
WHAT WE STRUGGLE WITH, I
00:33:42.78\00:33:44.79
THINK, JUST A LITTLE BIT, IS
ALLOWING PROPHECY TO MAKE THAT
00:33:44.79\00:33:48.99
TRANSITION. THERE
WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
00:33:48.99\00:33:50.73
LOOK AT THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
WHO STUDY PROPHECY, WITHOUT
00:33:50.73\00:33:55.86
UNDERSTANDING THE TRANSITION
THAT'S TAKEN PLACE FROM THE OLD
00:33:55.86\00:33:58.77
TO THE NEW TESTAMENT.
AND MANY TIMES WHEN THEY READ
00:33:58.77\00:34:04.44
PROPHECY, ESPECIALLY REVELATION,
THEY ARE LITERALLY JEWS, MIDDLE
00:34:04.44\00:34:09.34
EAST, P PALESTINE. IF FIN
FACT WE HAVE GONE TO SUCH AN
00:34:09.34\00:34:17.75
EXTREME ON THAT, THAT ANY TIME
WHEN WE READ THE REVELATIONS AND
00:34:17.75\00:34:23.22
WHEN WE READ THE PROPHECIES.
WE ARE THINKING LITERAL JEWS.
00:34:23.22\00:34:29.73
THE BOOK OF REVELATION WILL
HELP US MAKE THAT TRANSITION.
00:34:29.73\00:34:32.20
BECAUSE THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
CHAPTER 12 HELPS TO TRANSITION
00:34:32.20\00:34:35.90
THIS WOMAN FROM THE OLD
TESTAMENT TO NEW TESTLE RIGHT
00:34:35.90\00:34:40.91
TESTAMENT RIGHT HERE IN
REVELATION 12. LOOKING FORWARD
00:34:40.91\00:34:43.91
AND LOOKING BACKWARDS, ALL
OF THEM STANDING ON THE WORD OF
00:34:43.91\00:34:47.22
GOD. THEY ARE FAITHFUL AND ALL
ORGANIZED FOR SERVICE, AND OLD
00:34:47.22\00:34:50.02
TESTAMENT AND
ORGANIZED FOR SERVICE.
00:34:50.02\00:34:51.52
SHE BEING WITH CHILD, VERSE 2,
CRIED, TRAVAILING IN BIRTH AND
00:34:51.52\00:34:56.83
PAIN TO BE DELIVERED.
NOW, I JUST WANT TO JUMP DOWN
00:34:56.83\00:34:59.93
HERE BECAUSE -- WELL NO, WE WILL
READ VERSE 3 AND THERE APPEARED
00:34:59.93\00:35:03.43
ANOTHER WONDER IN HEAVEN, BY THE
WAY, SAME WORD, ANOTHER WONDER,
00:35:03.43\00:35:10.01
AND A GREAT RED DRAGON HAVING
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS AND
00:35:10.01\00:35:15.04
SEVEN CROWNS UPON HIS HEAD AND
THE TAIL DREW THE THIRD PART OF
00:35:15.04\00:35:20.85
HEAVEN AND THE DRAGON STOOD
BEFORE THE WOMAN WHICH WAS READY
00:35:20.85\00:35:24.09
TO BE DELIVERED TO DEVOUR HER
CHILD AS SOON AS HE WAS BORN AND
00:35:24.09\00:35:28.52
SHE BROUGHT FORTH A MAN CHILD
WHO WAS TO RULE ALL EARTH WITH A
00:35:28.52\00:35:35.50
WROUGHT OF IRON AND SHE
WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE THRONE.
00:35:35.50\00:35:38.93
LET'S UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:35:38.93\00:35:40.54
THE WOMAN HERE IN THESE VERSES
IS THE OLD TESTAMENT LITERAL
00:35:40.54\00:35:44.31
JEWISH CHURCH. JESUS WAS A JEW.
00:35:44.31\00:35:46.84
HE WAS IMPORTANT
OF THE JEWISH NATION.
00:35:46.84\00:35:48.08
WHEN HE WAS BORN, THE DRAGON
CAME AND TRIED TO DESTROY HIM.
00:35:48.08\00:35:51.95
THE DRAGON REPRESENTS SATAN
BUT SATANS WORKS THROUGH HIS
00:35:51.95\00:35:56.52
EMISSARIES AND WORKS THROUGH
DIFFERENT EARTHLY POWERS.
00:35:56.52\00:35:59.59
HE WAS WORKING THROUGH
HEROD. HE WAS THE KING THERE IN
00:35:59.59\00:36:03.39
JERUSALEM AND HE SOUGHT TO
DESTROY AND WENT FORTH AND SEND
00:36:03.39\00:36:06.29
HIS SOLDIERS FORTH TO DESTROY
ALL THE CHILDREN IN BETHLEHEM,
00:36:06.29\00:36:12.57
THAT WERE TWO
YEARS OLD OR YOUNGER.
00:36:12.57\00:36:15.50
HE FLED WITH THE SON AND THE
WISEMEN BEING WARNED NOT TO GO
00:36:15.50\00:36:20.58
BACK TO HEROD AND TELL HIM.
THIS IS WHAT THE PROPHECY IS
00:36:20.58\00:36:24.38
TALKING ABOUT. THE
BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:36:24.38\00:36:28.08
THIS IS SIMPLY IN SYMBOLIC
LANGUAGE PICKING UP THE SAME
00:36:28.08\00:36:30.75
STORY THAT'S TOLD IN MATTHEW,
THE SAME STORY THAT'S TOLD IN
00:36:30.75\00:36:33.46
MARK, THE SAME STORY THAT'S
TOLD IN LUKE, AND THE SAME STORY
00:36:33.46\00:36:36.06
THAT'S TOLD IN JOHN.
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT -- THE
00:36:36.06\00:36:39.23
SAME ISSUE THAT WE HAVE TO
DEAL WITH IN MATTHEW 7:21-22.
00:36:39.23\00:36:43.03
DECEPTION. IN FACT,
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ONE OF
00:36:43.03\00:36:44.53
THE CHARACTERISTICS AND WE WILL
TOUCH ON IT HERE, OF THE DEVIL,
00:36:44.53\00:36:49.64
IT TALKS ABOUT HOW YOU DREW
A THIRD -- THIS IS VERSE 4, HIS
00:36:49.64\00:36:53.94
TAIL DREW THE THIRD PART OF THE
STARS OF HEAVEN AND CAST THEM TO
00:36:53.94\00:36:56.48
THE EARTH. >> MM-HMM.
00:36:56.48\00:36:57.95
>> THIS IS TALKING IN THE
CONTEXT OF PROPHETIC OF THE
00:36:57.95\00:37:04.39
DECEPTIVE POWER OF SATAN. IN
ISAIAH 9:15, THE PROPHET THAT
00:37:04.39\00:37:10.69
TEACHES LIES IS THE TAIL.
THE TAIL IN THE BIBLE SYMBOLIZES
00:37:10.69\00:37:14.10
A PROPHET, SOMEONE WHO TEACHES
LIES AND THAT'S WHAT SATAN DID
00:37:14.10\00:37:17.47
IN HEAVEN. HE TAUGHT
LIES ABOUT GOD AND HE
00:37:17.47\00:37:19.67
DECEIVED A THIRD PART OF THE
ANGELS, THE STARS OF HEAVEN, THE
00:37:19.67\00:37:23.77
BRIGHT SHINING STARS OF HEAVEN
WERE DECEIVED BY I  HIS LIES AND
00:37:23.77\00:37:28.78
CAST THEM TO THE EARTH. HE
WAS CAST DOWN TO THIS EARTH
00:37:28.78\00:37:33.21
AND THEY DON'T WANT US TO
UNDERSTAND THIS CONTROVERSY THAT
00:37:33.21\00:37:37.99
WE ARE INVOLVED IN. THEY
DON'T WANT US TO UNDERSTAND
00:37:37.99\00:37:40.79
THE VERSES THAT WE
ARE READING TONIGHT.
00:37:40.79\00:37:42.19
OUR VIEWERS ARE ENGAGED IN A
GREAT CONTROVERSY BETWEEN GOOD
00:37:42.19\00:37:45.23
AND EVIL. IT'S ALL AROUND US.
00:37:45.23\00:37:47.66
PEOPLE ARE FILLED WITH PAIN AND
ANGUISH AND TERROR AND SADNESS
00:37:47.66\00:37:52.93
AND JUST TONIGHT WE ARE HEARING
STORIES FROM MY HOME STATE OF
00:37:52.93\00:37:56.74
OREGON ABOUT TERRIBLE
SICK THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING,
00:37:56.74\00:37:58.74
PEOPLE GETTING SHOT UP,
JUST GOING TO SCHOOL AND MURDER
00:37:58.74\00:38:03.48
BECAUSE OF RELIGION.
AND SATAN DOESN'T WANT US TO
00:38:03.48\00:38:07.38
KNOW THIS, THAT WE ARE INVOLVED
IN THIS GREAT CONTROVERSY.
00:38:07.38\00:38:10.05
AND SO THESE WORDS ARE
VITAL FOR US TO UNDERSTAND.
00:38:10.05\00:38:12.52
THERE'S A WAY OF ESCAPING
AND THAT'S IN JESUS CHRIST.
00:38:12.52\00:38:15.22
THERE'S A
DECEIVER AND THAT IS SATAN.
00:38:15.22\00:38:18.33
SATAN WANTS TO DECEIVE US COMING
AS THIS MARVELOUS POWERFUL
00:38:18.33\00:38:22.60
MANIFESTATION OF POWER AND
STRENGTH AND ALL OF THE KINGLY
00:38:22.60\00:38:25.73
AUTHORITY THAT'S OUTLINED HERE,
HE WORKED THROUGH WORLDLY POWERS
00:38:25.73\00:38:29.60
THROUGH EARTHLY MAGISTRATES.
HE WORKED THROUGH HEROD.
00:38:29.60\00:38:33.17
BUT THIS MAN WAS SAVED
AND FINALLY, JESUS CHRIST WAS
00:38:33.17\00:38:37.18
RAISED, LIVED, DIED AND
RESURRECTED AND TAKEN TO HEAVEN.
00:38:37.18\00:38:41.15
SO VERSES 1 THROUGH 5 OF
REVELATION 12 ARE DESCRIBING
00:38:41.15\00:38:44.79
GOD'S CHURCH, THE LITERAL JEWISH
CHURCH, DESCRIBING THEIR NEED TO
00:38:44.79\00:38:49.36
LOOK TO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
CHRIST AND FOLLOW HIS WORD AND
00:38:49.36\00:38:52.59
BE ORGANIZED FOR SERVICE AND THE
FACT THAT GOD BROUGHT FORTH HIS
00:38:52.59\00:38:56.56
SON THE SAVIOR OF THE
WORLD THROUGH THAT CHURCH.
00:38:56.56\00:38:58.27
NOW IN VERSE 6, WE SEE
A TRANSITION TAKE PLACE.
00:38:58.27\00:39:02.04
REVELATION 12:6, AND THE WOMAN
FLED INTO THE WILDERNESS WHERE
00:39:02.04\00:39:07.78
SHE HATH A PLACE PREPARED OF GOD
THAT THEY SHOULD FEED HER THERE,
00:39:07.78\00:39:15.25
1,200 AND THREE SCORE DAYS.
WE HAVE JUST TRANSITIONED FROM
00:39:15.25\00:39:18.45
THE OLD TESTAMENT
TO THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:39:18.45\00:39:20.46
>> MM-HMM. >> AND
WE KNOW THIS TRANSITION
00:39:20.46\00:39:21.52
IS TAKING PLACE. TWO
REASONS WE KNOW THIS.
00:39:21.52\00:39:24.43
NUMBER ONE, JESUS HAS BEEN
RESURRECTED TO HEAVEN IN VERSE 5
00:39:24.43\00:39:30.10
OF REVELATION 12. THE
OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW
00:39:30.10\00:39:32.50
TESTAMENT AS THEY COME TOGETHER
THEY GIVE US THAT SAME PICTURE.
00:39:32.50\00:39:35.37
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, JESUS
COMMISSIONED HIS DISCIPLES GO
00:39:35.37\00:39:38.54
INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH
THE GOSPEL TO EVERY NATION.
00:39:38.54\00:39:40.78
I'M GIVING YOU
ALL POWER, YOU SEE?
00:39:40.78\00:39:43.88
SO HERE HE BEGINS THE NEW
CHURCH, THE CLIFFIAN CHURCH, THE
00:39:43.88\00:39:47.12
TRANSITION HAS -- THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH, THE TRANSITION HAS TAKEN
00:39:47.12\00:39:50.39
PLACE. WHEN THEY
DO THIS, THEY ARE
00:39:50.39\00:39:53.02
PERSECUTED. BUT
EVENTUALLY FALLING AWAY AND
00:39:53.02\00:39:58.79
APOSTOCE TAKES PLACE.
AND COMPROMISE BEGINS IN THE
00:39:58.79\00:40:01.96
CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND AS THE
CHURCH BEGINS TO COMPROMISE, THE
00:40:01.96\00:40:04.87
FAITHFUL WHO REFUSED
TO COMPROMISE HAVE TO GO
00:40:04.87\00:40:07.24
UNDERGROUND.
THAT'S WHAT THIS VERSE IS
00:40:07.24\00:40:09.07
DESCRIBING HERE. IT'S
DESCRIBING AN UNDERGROUND
00:40:09.07\00:40:11.27
CHURCH. IT'S
DESCRIBING THE WOMAN GOING
00:40:11.27\00:40:12.61
INTO THE WILDERNESS IN THE
CATACOMBS AND INTO THE DESERTED
00:40:12.61\00:40:18.58
PLACES TO ESCAPE THE
PERSECUTION, TO ESCAPE FOR HER
00:40:18.58\00:40:21.65
LIFE. >> TELL US
WHY THAT 1260 DAYS IS
00:40:21.65\00:40:24.15
SO SIGNIFICANT. >>
WELL, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
00:40:24.15\00:40:26.86
IT'S SO SIGNIFICANT IS BECAUSE
IT MARKS THE BEGINNING AND THE
00:40:26.86\00:40:29.89
END OF A TIME THAT
WE CALLED THE DARK AGES.
00:40:29.89\00:40:33.60
A TIME WHEN THE MEDIEVAL CHURCH,
THE CHURCH THAT HAD COMPROMISED
00:40:33.60\00:40:37.57
WITH PAGAN ROME AND BROUGHT
IN A LOT OF PAGAN ROMAN RITUALS,
00:40:37.57\00:40:44.67
INCLUDING SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
WHICH IS NOT BASED IN THE BIBLE,
00:40:44.67\00:40:46.31
NOT BASED IN THE WORD OF GOD BUT
THAT THE WOMAN IS STANDING ON
00:40:46.31\00:40:49.74
WHEN THAT CHURCH REIGNS SUPREME.
AND SO FROM 538 UNTIL 1798, THIS
00:40:49.74\00:40:55.05
WOMAN WAS FLEEING
TO DIFFERENT PLACES.
00:40:55.05\00:40:57.59
ALL THROUGH EUROPE AND
EVENTUALLY IN VERSES -- WE WILL
00:40:57.59\00:41:02.62
READ THIS IN VERSES 13, 14 AND
15, AND 16 AND EVENTUALLY SHE
00:41:02.62\00:41:06.83
FLED TO A PLACE CALLED THE EARTH
AND THE EARTH SWALLOWED UP THE
00:41:06.83\00:41:10.47
FLOOD OF THE WOMAN.
THE EARTH SWALLOWED UP THIS
00:41:10.47\00:41:13.17
WATER, THIS PERSECUTION OF THE
DRAGON, EXCUSE ME, AND HELPED
00:41:13.17\00:41:16.44
THE WOMAN ESCAPE
FROM THE PERSECUTION.
00:41:16.44\00:41:20.31
NOW THAT EARTH, IT IS REALLY
SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE WHEN YOU
00:41:20.31\00:41:22.98
LOOK AT BIBLE PROPHECY, YOU
REALIZE THAT GOD DOES IN THE NEW
00:41:22.98\00:41:26.98
TESTAMENT THE SAME THING
HE DOES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:41:26.98\00:41:29.38
IN FACT, A LOT OF THE SYMBOLISM
OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS
00:41:29.38\00:41:33.56
FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE
SYMBOLISM FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:41:33.56\00:41:36.59
DESCRIBING WHAT GOD IS DOING
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT AND BEYOND.
00:41:36.59\00:41:40.10
AND SO IN REVELATION
12 GOD DESCRIBES A WOMAN.
00:41:40.10\00:41:43.47
THAT'S OLD TEST. , BUT
IS ALSO NEW TESTAMENT, YOU
00:41:43.47\00:41:46.47
SEE? REVELATION
12 GOD DESCRIBES HER
00:41:46.47\00:41:49.17
AS BEING CLOTHED WITH THE
SUN. THAT'S OLD TESTAMENT BUT IT
00:41:49.17\00:41:52.34
REPRESENTS NEW TESTAMENT
EXPERIENCE AND THE MOON, THAT'S
00:41:52.34\00:41:54.11
OLD TESTAMENT BUT IT'S
ALSO REPRESENTING NEW TEST.
00:41:54.11\00:41:56.11
IN OTHER WORDS THE SUN, THE SON
OF JESUS BUT THAT'S IN JEREMIAH
00:41:56.11\00:42:03.42
22:6. AND THE
LIGHT, THE LIGHT TO MY
00:42:03.42\00:42:05.42
PATH, AND TO MY FEET,
WELL, THAT'S ALSO IN THE NEW
00:42:05.42\00:42:08.46
TESTAMENT, WHERE TO BE
ESTABLISHED ON THE WORD OF GOD,
00:42:08.46\00:42:11.43
YOU SEE AND FOLLOWING THE
WORD AND ALL SCRIPTURES GIVEN MY
00:42:11.43\00:42:15.30
INSPIRATION OF GOD.
THERE'S A TIME WHEN WE PREACH
00:42:15.30\00:42:17.70
THE WORD AND THERE WILL BE A
TIME WHEN THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT
00:42:17.70\00:42:19.90
TO HEAR THE WORD AND
SO THE STARS THAT'S IN 12.
00:42:19.90\00:42:22.80
THAT'S A NUMBER THAT'S
SIGNIFICANT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:42:22.80\00:42:25.01
BUT IT'S SIGNIFICANT
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:42:25.01\00:42:26.47
IN REVELATION 21, JOHN IS TOLD
TO -- ASKED IF HE WANTS TO SEE
00:42:26.47\00:42:32.81
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, THE LAMB'S
WIFE AND JOHN SAYS, SURE, I
00:42:32.81\00:42:36.82
WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S SHOWN?
00:42:36.82\00:42:40.59
WHEN THE ANGEL ASKED HIM, DO
YOU WANT TO SEE THE BRIDE AND HE
00:42:40.59\00:42:44.13
SAYS, DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THE ANGEL SHOWS HIM?
00:42:44.13\00:42:45.79
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT
THE ANGLE ANGEL SHOWS HIM?
00:42:45.79\00:42:49.66
A CITY. THE NEW JERUSALEM.
00:42:49.66\00:42:53.17
HE SHOWS HIM A CITY. IS
JESUS MARRIED TO A CITY?
00:42:53.17\00:42:58.17
>> NO. >> IT
SYMBOLIZES OR REPRESENTS
00:42:58.17\00:43:01.44
THE BRIDE. IT
HAS 12 GATES AND 12
00:43:01.44\00:43:03.85
FOUNDATIONS. DO YOU
KNOW WHAT THE NAMES ARE
00:43:03.85\00:43:04.85
ON THE 12 GATES OF
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST?
00:43:04.85\00:43:07.05
THE NAMES OF THE 12
APOSTLES. OLD TESTAMENT.
00:43:07.05\00:43:11.55
12. >> 12.
00:43:11.55\00:43:13.39
>> 12 TRIBES. >> THANK YOU.
00:43:13.39\00:43:15.66
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
NAME OF THE FOUNDATIONS ARE?
00:43:15.66\00:43:20.16
WHAT ARE THE NAMES
ON THE FOUNDATIONS?
00:43:20.16\00:43:24.03
>> ALL THE
PRECIOUS STONES. >> YES.
00:43:24.03\00:43:26.37
>> AND WHAT ARE
THEY NAMED AFTER.
00:43:26.37\00:43:27.70
WHAT ARE THE 12 FOUNDATIONS?
>> IT MUST BE THE 12 APOSTLES.
00:43:27.70\00:43:33.41
>> YES. YOU SEE?
00:43:33.41\00:43:34.31
SO THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE
NEW TESTAMENT, CHURCH, WOMAN, IS
00:43:34.31\00:43:37.81
MADE UP OF FAITHFUL AND
OLD TESTAMENT, AND FAITHFUL NEW
00:43:37.81\00:43:41.42
TESTAMENT. 12 STARS,
12 STARS AND YOU HAVE
00:43:41.42\00:43:43.45
THIS COMING TOGETHER, 12 TIMES
12 BY THE WAY IS 144 AND YOU
00:43:43.45\00:43:49.22
HAVE THE 144,000 THAT WILL GO IN
THROUGH ONE OF THOSE GATES AND
00:43:49.22\00:43:52.29
BE PART OF THAT NEW JERUSALEM
BRIDE THAT IS IN REVELATION.
00:43:52.29\00:43:58.40
THAT'S THE CONSUMMATION OF WHAT
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE IN
00:43:58.40\00:44:01.27
REVELATION 12. SO
BASICALLY GOD HAD A PLACE IN
00:44:01.27\00:44:03.34
THE OLD
TESTAMENT FOR HIS PEOPLE.
00:44:03.34\00:44:06.31
IT WAS CALLED THE
GLORIOUS LAND. OKAY?
00:44:06.31\00:44:09.48
IT WAS IDENTIFIED BY TWO MARKS.
IT WAS A LAND THAT WAS FLOWING
00:44:09.48\00:44:13.42
WITH MILK AND HONEY. >> MM-HMM.
00:44:13.42\00:44:15.25
>> IT WAS A LAND THAT WAS
ECONOMICALLY BLESSED AND IT WAS
00:44:15.25\00:44:18.45
A LAND THAT WAS A PLACE WHERE
GOD'S PEOPLE WOULD WORSHIP HIM
00:44:18.45\00:44:22.92
IN FREEDOM. >> ZION.
00:44:22.92\00:44:25.23
>> YEAH. A PLACE
WHERE THEY COULD KEEP
00:44:25.23\00:44:26.86
THE SABBATH. A
PLACE WHERE THEY COULD
00:44:26.86\00:44:28.83
ACTUALLY FOLLOW THE DICTATES OF
WORD OF GOD AND WORSHIP HIM IN
00:44:28.83\00:44:33.00
SPIRIT AND IN IN TRUTH.
NOW THAT PLACE, THE LITERAL
00:44:33.00\00:44:36.71
PALESTINE, THE PLACE FOR THE OLD
TESTAMENT, THE WOMAN OF CHRIST,
00:44:36.71\00:44:39.67
EVENTUALLY WAS LOST TO THEM. NOW
A NOW, A COUPLE OF TIMES THEY
00:44:39.67\00:44:45.95
REJECTED MESSIAH AND THEIR HOUSE
WAS LEFT DESOLATE AND GOD FORMED
00:44:45.95\00:44:49.15
A NEW CHURCH. WHEN HE
FORMED THIS NEW CHURCH,
00:44:49.15\00:44:50.99
HE TOOK THEM THROUGH THIS DARK
PERIOD, THE DARK AGES, BROUGHT
00:44:50.99\00:44:53.52
THEM OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE,
REVELATION 12:13, AND ONWARD AND
00:44:53.52\00:44:59.56
WHEN THE DRAGON SAW THAT HE
WAS CAST OUT ON TO THE EARTH, HE
00:44:59.56\00:45:03.47
PERSECUTED THE WOMAN THAT
BROUGHT FORTH THE MAN CHILD,
00:45:03.47\00:45:06.27
VERSE 14. AND TO
THE WOMAN WERE GIVEN TWO
00:45:06.27\00:45:08.47
WINGS OF A GREAT EAGLE
THAT SHE WILL MIGHT FLY INTO THE
00:45:08.47\00:45:12.44
WILDERNESS INTO HER PLACE, WHERE
SHE'S NOURISHED FOR A TIMES,
00:45:12.44\00:45:16.41
TIME AND A HALF IN
THE TIME OF THE P SERPENT.
00:45:16.41\00:45:22.65
AND AS OF THE FLOOD AFTER THE
WOMAN, THAT HE MIGHT BE CAUSED,
00:45:22.65\00:45:26.55
THAT'S PERSECUTION AND THE EARTH
HELPED THE WOMAN AND THE EARTH
00:45:26.55\00:45:28.96
OPENED HER MOUTH AND SWALLOWED
UP THE FLOOD WHICH THE DRAGON
00:45:28.96\00:45:31.99
CAST OUT OF HIS MOUTH. THE
EARTH IS THE PLACE WHERE THE
00:45:31.99\00:45:37.53
WOMAN WAS TAKEN
WITH EAGLE'S WINGS.
00:45:37.53\00:45:40.74
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT:
>>.>> THE EARTH IS OUR GLORIOUS
00:45:40.74\00:45:46.34
LAND. >> IN THE NE
NEW TESTAMENT, IT'S
00:45:46.34\00:45:53.95
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
IT IS A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK
00:45:53.95\00:45:58.15
AND HONEY, ECONOMICALLY BLESSED
AND IT'S A LAND OF RELIGIOUS
00:45:58.15\00:46:01.79
FREEDOM AND IT WAS DURING THE
DARK AGES, BEFORE 1798 THAT THIS
00:46:01.79\00:46:07.50
LAND WAS ESTABLISHED AND THE
PILGRIMS FIRST CAME HERE IN THE
00:46:07.50\00:46:11.50
PRECENTURIES BEFORE THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,
00:46:11.50\00:46:14.57
BEFORE WE HAD PILGRIMS ROCK.
WE HAD THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
00:46:14.57\00:46:17.77
EARLY COLONIES, 1600, 1700 AND
THEN WE HAD THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
00:46:17.77\00:46:22.28
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, OF COURSE,
RHODE ISLAND AND ALL OF THE
00:46:22.28\00:46:24.38
PRINCIPLES THAT WENT
INTO OUR CONSTITUTION.
00:46:24.38\00:46:26.82
AND IT ALLOWS THE PERSECUTION
THAT WAS POURED OUT IN EUROPE TO
00:46:26.82\00:46:30.99
BE DECIMATED ON THESE SHORES.
THE EARTH REPRESENTS A PLACE
00:46:30.99\00:46:35.66
UNLIKE THE SEA THAT
WAS LIGHTLY POPULATED.
00:46:35.66\00:46:38.86
A MACE THAT WAS NOT FILLED
WITH TRIBES AND NATIONS AND
00:46:38.86\00:46:42.76
MULTITUDES AND TONGUES.
THAT FITLY REPRESENTS THE UNITED
00:46:42.76\00:46:45.03
STATES OF AMERICA. >> YES.
00:46:45.03\00:46:46.94
>> SO THE UNITED STATES
NOW BECOMES THE NEW TESTAMENT
00:46:46.94\00:46:49.30
GLORIOUS LAND. >> HMM.
00:46:49.30\00:46:50.24
>> AND IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE
WHEN GOD BROUGHT HIS PEOPLE, HE
00:46:50.24\00:46:55.84
BROUGHT THEM BY EAGLES WINGS.
WHEN GOD TAKES HIS PEOPLE INTO
00:46:55.84\00:47:00.05
THE NEW TESTAMENT GLORIOUS LAND,
HE BRINGS THEM WITH THE WINGS OF
00:47:00.05\00:47:03.25
AN EAGLE. THE WOMAN
IS BROUGHT INTO THIS
00:47:03.25\00:47:04.92
NEW TESTAMENT GLORIOUS LANDS
WITH THE WING OF AN EAGLE AND
00:47:04.92\00:47:08.92
THE GLORIOUS LAND
HERE IS THE EARTH.
00:47:08.92\00:47:10.23
I WANT YOU TO NOTICE SOMETHING
AS YOU TURN OVER THE PAGE TO
00:47:10.23\00:47:16.90
REVELATION 13:11. GOD
IS SHOWING US PROPHECY THAT
00:47:16.90\00:47:22.00
IS YET TO TAKE PLACE.
AND I BEHELD ANOTHER BEAST
00:47:22.00\00:47:25.87
COMING UP OUT OF
THE EARTH, AMERICA.
00:47:25.87\00:47:30.21
AMERICAN AMERICAN CONTINENT. HE
HAD TWO HOPS  HORNS LIKE A LAMB
00:47:30.21\00:47:43.59
BUT SPOKE LIKE A DRAGON.
>> IN AMERICA WE HAVE THESE
00:47:43.59\00:47:46.19
PRINCIPLES OF
LIBERTY AND FREEDOM.
00:47:46.19\00:47:47.73
IN FACT, THEY ARE IDENTIFIED
IN THIS VERSE, VERSE 11 AS
00:47:47.73\00:47:50.97
LAMB-LIKE
PRINCIPLES. LAMB-LIKE HORNS.
00:47:50.97\00:47:54.17
HORNS REPRESENT POWER.
THE PRINCIPLES AND THE POWERS
00:47:54.17\00:47:56.77
THAT ESTABLISH THIS COUNTRY AS A
GREAT NATION WHERE CIVIL LIBERTY
00:47:56.77\00:48:01.74
AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
THESE ARE THE PRINCIPLES THAT WE
00:48:01.74\00:48:04.71
ALL -- THIS IS THE REASON WHY
QUESTION GET GOOSEBUMPS WHEN WE
00:48:04.71\00:48:08.32
SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
THESE ARE THE PRINCIPLES THAT
00:48:08.32\00:48:11.45
ESTABLISH US AS AMERICANS.
TAKE AWAY THESE PRINCIPLES AND
00:48:11.45\00:48:14.92
AMERICA IS GONE. AND
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SATAN
00:48:14.92\00:48:17.63
WANTS TO DO. HE
WANTS TO CHANGE THESE
00:48:17.63\00:48:21.00
PRINCIPLES. HE
WANTS TO TRANSFORM THIS
00:48:21.00\00:48:22.90
COUNTRY FROM
LAMB-LIKE TO DRAGON-LIKE.
00:48:22.90\00:48:25.60
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT
TONIGHT THAT WE LOOK AT THE
00:48:25.60\00:48:28.00
PRINCIPLES OF THE DRAGON AND
COMPARE THEM WITH THE PRINCIPLES
00:48:28.00\00:48:30.24
OF THE LAMB SO THAT WE CAN
UNDERSTAND IF, IN FACT, THESE
00:48:30.24\00:48:34.01
PRINCIPLES ARE COMING IN TO THIS
GREAT COUNTRY OF AMERICA, AND IF
00:48:34.01\00:48:37.81
THE TRANSITION IS TAKING PLACE,
NOT JUST IN OUR LEGISLATIVE
00:48:37.81\00:48:41.32
HALLS, BUT IN OUR OWN LIVES, IN
THE LIVES AND THE CITIES AND THE
00:48:41.32\00:48:46.22
TOWNS OF PEOPLE, INDIVIDUALS,
BECAUSE THIS NATION IS BUILT ON
00:48:46.22\00:48:51.13
PEOPLE. IT'S NOT
JUST BUILT ON BRICK AND
00:48:51.13\00:48:53.19
MORTAR. IT'S BUILT ON PEOPLE.
00:48:53.19\00:48:55.03
WE ARE -- PEOPLE ARE WHAT
MAKE THIS NATION GREAT AND SITE
00:48:55.03\00:48:58.27
APWANTS TO -- SATAN WANTS DO
COME IN AND TRANSFORM IN NATION
00:48:58.27\00:49:02.94
JUST LIKE HE WILL SOUGHT TO
TRANSFORM THE JEWISH NATION.
00:49:02.94\00:49:05.91
IF WE LOOK AT THIS
PROPHECY, THE BIG PICTURE.
00:49:05.91\00:49:08.41
BECAUSE IN DANIEL 11:41 IT SAYS
THE KING OF THE NORTH WHICH IS
00:49:08.41\00:49:15.35
IDENTIFIED JAMES WHITE BELIEVED
THAT THE KING OF THE NORTH IN
00:49:15.35\00:49:19.55
DANIEL 11:41 WAS THE SAME POWER
REVEALED IN REVELATION CHAPTER
00:49:19.55\00:49:25.59
13. HE
IDENTIFIED THE LITTLE FLOCK,
00:49:25.59\00:49:27.86
HE IDENTIFIED THIS AS
HAVING THE NUMBER 666.
00:49:27.86\00:49:30.70
THE KING OF THE NORTH, IT SAYS
IN DANIEL 11:41 WILL ENTER INTO
00:49:30.70\00:49:34.14
THE GLORIOUS LAND. >> HMM.
00:49:34.14\00:49:37.27
>> I BELIEVE THAT PROPHECY
IS BEING FULFILLED TODAY.
00:49:37.27\00:49:40.18
I BELIEVE WE ARE SEEING THE
PRINCIPLES OF THE KING OF THE
00:49:40.18\00:49:42.91
NORTH WHOSE NUMBER IS 666
ENTERING INTO THE GLORIOUS LAND.
00:49:42.91\00:49:46.15
THIS LAND OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM,
THIS LAMB-LIKE LAND OF CIVIL
00:49:46.15\00:49:51.02
FREEDOM AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IN AMERICA?
00:49:51.02\00:49:54.42
WELL, LET ME JUST -- LET ME JUST
BRING OUR VIEWERS TO SOMETHING
00:49:54.42\00:49:58.63
THAT I THINK IS REALLY
SIGNIFICANT IN RELATION TO
00:49:58.63\00:50:00.66
CURRENT EVENTS. I
BELIEVE THAT THE LIBERTIES OF
00:50:00.66\00:50:05.50
AMERICANS ARE BEING LIFTED
BY THE THREAT OF TERRORISM.
00:50:05.50\00:50:09.50
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY! >>
JESUS CHRIST TALKED ABOUT
00:50:09.50\00:50:13.81
THIS IN LUKE CHAPTER 21.
THERE ARE THREE CHAPTERS IN THE
00:50:13.81\00:50:18.18
GOSPELS THAT ARE
PROPHETIC END TIME CHAPTERS.
00:50:18.18\00:50:21.18
ONE OF THEM IS MATTHEW 24
AND THE OTHER IS MARK 13 AND THE
00:50:21.18\00:50:24.49
OTHER ONE IS LUKE 21.
JOHN DOESN'T HAVE A PROPHETIC
00:50:24.49\00:50:28.19
CHAPTER BECAUSE HE
WROTE THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:50:28.19\00:50:30.43
AND IN LUKE 21:8, JESUS
SAID TAKE HEED THAT YE BE NOT
00:50:30.43\00:50:34.76
DECEIVED FOR MANY WILL COME
IN MY NAME, SAYING I'M CHRIST, A
00:50:34.76\00:50:39.27
RELIGIOUS TEACHER AND GO
YOU NOT THEREFORE AFTER THEM.
00:50:39.27\00:50:41.47
BY THE WAY JESUS WARNED US ABOUT
RELIGIOUS DECEPTION THREE TIMES
00:50:41.47\00:50:48.21
IN THE CONTEXT OF MATTHEW 24.
DECEPTION IS HUGE AND WOMEN SEE
00:50:48.21\00:50:52.58
THAT IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 13. THAT'S ONE OF THE
00:50:52.58\00:50:55.35
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DRAGON.
HE'S A LIAR AND A DECEIVER.
00:50:55.35\00:50:58.15
THEN GOES ON TO SAY THIS,
BUT WHEN YE SHALL HEAR OF WARS.
00:50:58.15\00:51:02.16
HAVE WE HEARD OF
WARS? AND COMMOTIONS.
00:51:02.16\00:51:04.96
BE NOT WHAT? >> TERRIFIED.
00:51:04.96\00:51:07.40
>> TERRIFIED. THINK ABOUT THIS.
00:51:07.40\00:51:08.33
BECAUSE I READ THIS
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
00:51:08.33\00:51:09.73
I NEVER GOT IT. TERRIFIED.
00:51:09.73\00:51:12.87
WHAT IS THE POINT OF
TERRORISM? >> TO TERRIFY US.
00:51:12.87\00:51:18.11
>> TO TERRIFY. AND
WHEN YOU ARE TERRIFIED, WHAT
00:51:18.11\00:51:21.11
DO YOU DO? WHATEVER
IT TAKES TO BE SAFE.
00:51:21.11\00:51:25.38
YOU WANT MY LIBERTIES, TAKE 'EM.
YOU WANT TO SPY ON ME, GO AHEAD.
00:51:25.38\00:51:30.55
YOU WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING
I'M DOING, SET UP THE CAMERAS.
00:51:30.55\00:51:34.39
JUST AS LONG AS WE ARE
SAFE AND SECURE FROM TERRORISM.
00:51:34.39\00:51:36.29
SO JESUS CHRIST IS TELLING US,
DON'T BE TERRIFIED BECAUSE WHEN
00:51:36.29\00:51:38.56
YOU ARE TERRIFIED, YOU WILL
BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO RELEASE OF
00:51:38.56\00:51:42.66
LIBERTIES THAT I HAVE GIVEN
YOU, THE LAMB-LIKE PRINCIPLES OF
00:51:42.66\00:51:45.93
TRUTH THAT I HAVE GIVEN IN YOU
AND INVESTED IN YOUR COUNTRY AND
00:51:45.93\00:51:49.27
GREAT NATION. YOU
WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO GIVE
00:51:49.27\00:51:51.57
THEM UP AND A TRANSITION WILL
TAKE PLACE FROM LAMB-LIKE TO
00:51:51.57\00:51:56.18
DRAGON-LIKE.
WHAT IS DRAGON-LIKE?
00:51:56.18\00:51:58.01
IT'S CONTROLLING AND COERCIVE
AND DRAGON LIKE IS LYING.
00:51:58.01\00:52:02.28
ALL OF THESE WORDS ARE WORDS
THAT DESCRIBE A LOT OF WHAT IS
00:52:02.28\00:52:06.02
TAKING PLACE IN THIS GREAT
NATION TODAY, IN OUR POLITICAL
00:52:06.02\00:52:10.56
HALLS TODAY. AND OF
COURSE, IT'S IN THE NEWS.
00:52:10.56\00:52:12.46
WE SEE IT OVER AND
AGAIN. WITH BIG COMPANIES AND
00:52:12.46\00:52:15.00
POLITICIANS AND ALL
OF THESE OTHER THINGS.
00:52:15.00\00:52:16.80
THAT'S WHY TODAY, WE HAVE IN THE
GOP RACE IF YOU DON'T MIND ME
00:52:16.80\00:52:21.90
MENTIONING THIS REAL QUICKLY.
WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH NO POLITICAL
00:52:21.90\00:52:24.81
BACKGROUND, TRUMP,
CARSON -- >> TIF A REFARINA.
00:52:24.81\00:52:39.02
>> AND BUSH AND
OTHERS AT THE BOTTOM.
00:52:39.02\00:52:41.16
PEOPLE ARE DONE! THEY ARE TIRED.
00:52:41.16\00:52:43.12
THEY WANT SOMETHING -- THEY ARE
SENDING A MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON.
00:52:43.12\00:52:46.36
THEY ARE SENDING A
MESSAGE TO THE NATION.
00:52:46.36\00:52:47.76
THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE  THE LIES
AND DECEPTION THAT THEY FED OVER
00:52:47.76\00:52:53.30
AND OVER AGAIN. THEY
DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT
00:52:53.30\00:52:54.97
CONTINUE. THEY WANT
THIS COUNTRY BACK TO
00:52:54.97\00:52:56.20
THE GREATNESS THAT IT ONCE HAD,
AND THAT'S, OF COURSE, ONE OF
00:52:56.20\00:53:01.04
THE THINGS THAT CARSON IS
EMPHASIZING ON, THAT THIS NATION
00:53:01.04\00:53:04.18
IS A GREAT NATION. IT'S
BUILT UPON PEOPLE AND WE
00:53:04.18\00:53:06.48
CAN BRING IT BACK
TO WHAT IT ONCE WAS.
00:53:06.48\00:53:09.58
ENOUGH POLITICIZING.
BUT HERE AS THE POINT.
00:53:09.58\00:53:11.32
EACH ONE OF US IS SUSCEPTIBLE
TO THE DECEPTION OF SATAN IF WE
00:53:11.32\00:53:18.06
DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
CHARACTERISTICS THAT HE BEARS
00:53:18.06\00:53:20.16
AND THOSE THAT CHRIST BEARS.
SO FAR IN SUMMARY, WE LOOKED AT
00:53:20.16\00:53:23.13
THREE
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:53:23.13\00:53:24.77
THEY HAVE THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS.
00:53:24.77\00:53:26.60
THEY ARE STANDING ON THE WORD
OF GOD AND THEY ARE ORGANIZED.
00:53:26.60\00:53:28.70
THEY HAVE THIS
ORGANIZATION FOR SERVICE, OKAY?
00:53:28.70\00:53:31.01
WE HAVE ALSO LOOKED AT ONE -- AT
LEAST ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS
00:53:31.01\00:53:34.11
OF THE DEVIL. HE'S A DECEIVER.
00:53:34.11\00:53:37.31
HE WANTS TO DECEIVE US. I
WANT YOU TO LOOK AT REVELATION
00:53:37.31\00:53:42.32
CHAPTER 12. >> HE
SOUGHT TO KILL THE BOY AND
00:53:42.32\00:53:46.42
THE HATRED IS THERE
TOO. >> HATRED AND DECEPTION.
00:53:46.42\00:53:52.53
THESE ARE CHARACTERISTICS WE
HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH.
00:53:52.53\00:53:55.33
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE
KILLING PEOPLE WITH GUNS TO BE
00:53:55.33\00:53:58.20
MURDERERS. >> THAT'S RIGHT?
00:53:58.20\00:53:58.93
WE CAN SIMPLY HATE THEM AND
HATING PEOPLE IS SOMETHING THAT
00:53:58.93\00:54:01.47
WE CAN DO IN OUR MINDS AND
OUR BRAINS WITHOUT HAVING --
00:54:01.47\00:54:05.47
BRINGING FORTH ACTIONS.
SO WE HAVE GOT TO ALLOW GOD'S
00:54:05.47\00:54:07.78
SPIRIT TO COME IN AND
CONVICT US OF THESE THINGS.
00:54:07.78\00:54:11.25
I WANT TO SKIP
VERSES 7 THROUGH 9.
00:54:11.25\00:54:14.35
THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE GREAT
CONFLICT THAT BEGAN IN HEAVEN
00:54:14.35\00:54:16.72
AND THEN I WANT TO LOOK
IN VERSES 10 AND ONWARD.
00:54:16.72\00:54:19.82
I HEARD THE VOICE THAT
SAYS NOW HAS COME SALVATION AND
00:54:19.82\00:54:22.76
STRENGTHth AND THE KINGDOM OF
GOD AND THE POWER OF HIS CHRIST
00:54:22.76\00:54:25.46
FOR THE ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN
IS CAST DOWN WHICH ACCUSED THEM
00:54:25.46\00:54:28.53
BEFORE GOD DAY AND NIGHT.
GIVE ME A CHARACTERISTICS OF
00:54:28.53\00:54:31.13
SATAN HERE IN THIS
VERSE. >> HE'S AN ACCUSER.
00:54:31.13\00:54:33.84
>> HE'S AN
ACCUSER. HE CRITICIZES.
00:54:33.84\00:54:36.47
OKAY. I'M A PERFECTIONIST.
00:54:36.47\00:54:38.21
I'M A PERFECTIONIST. AND
IT IS EASY FOR ME TO SEE THE
00:54:38.21\00:54:41.84
ONE THING THAT DIDN'T GET DONE
VERSUS EVERYTHING THAT MY WIFE
00:54:41.84\00:54:45.05
DID DO. OKAY?
00:54:45.05\00:54:46.65
ARE YOU
FOLLOWING ME? >> HMM-HMM.
00:54:46.65\00:54:49.65
>> SO ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS
THAT GOD WANTS US TO STEER CLEAR
00:54:49.65\00:54:54.06
OF THIS IS ATTITUDE,
THIS SPIRIT OF ACCUSATION.
00:54:54.06\00:55:07.60
CAN YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR DAY.
IS THERE IN YOUR CONSCIENCE AT
00:55:07.60\00:55:12.47
ALL, A RECOLLECTION OF
YOU HAVING CRITICIZED --
00:55:12.47\00:55:16.48
>> ANYONE? >>
ANYONE TODAY AT ALL?
00:55:16.48\00:55:20.18
>> THAT'S -- THAT IS SOMETHING
WE ALL NEED TO WORK ON.
