Shawn let's take a quick recap 00:05:27.49\00:05:30.89 because we did cover a lot of material and we 00:05:30.92\00:05:32.80 covered it pretty fast and then we will move forward. 00:05:32.83\00:05:35.86 Okay so what have we discovered so far, 00:05:36.27\00:05:38.21 the Big Issue. We set the table, 00:05:38.24\00:05:40.21 Revelation chapter 12, there is the cast of 00:05:40.56\00:05:43.33 characters, you got the women which is 00:05:43.36\00:05:45.24 God's people, the Church and we have got the child 00:05:45.27\00:05:49.62 who is Jesus Christ. We've got the dragon, 00:05:50.59\00:05:52.40 who is the serpent the devil, Satan and 00:05:52.83\00:05:54.78 there is a great controversy that breaks 00:05:54.81\00:05:56.53 out the dragon is angry at God's people. 00:05:56.56\00:05:59.11 We saw that the big issue in Revelation 13 00:05:59.64\00:06:03.66 mentioned 5 times is worship and its 00:06:03.69\00:06:05.79 mentioned again in Revelation 14. Yes. 00:06:05.82\00:06:07.56 You should call the worship 00:06:07.59\00:06:08.56 only two sides in the end. 00:06:08.57\00:06:09.72 And we went back and looked at Lucifer. 00:06:10.05\00:06:11.95 We wondered well who is this dragon anyway. 00:06:11.98\00:06:13.75 Why does he want worship so badly? 00:06:13.78\00:06:15.35 Well, an angle who feel in love with himself. 00:06:15.46\00:06:17.67 With himself yes! And he covets worship, 00:06:17.70\00:06:20.37 he can't have it. He is not the creator 00:06:20.40\00:06:22.54 and yet he still works at it. 00:06:22.57\00:06:24.55 Then we discovered that Lucifer 00:06:24.58\00:06:26.81 desires lawlessness, Second Testimonials 00:06:26.84\00:06:29.20 too said it, Jesus said Matthews chapter 7, 00:06:29.23\00:06:31.49 beware of lawlessness, beware of iniquity, 00:06:31.52\00:06:33.60 stay away from this it's coming and the Bible says 00:06:33.97\00:06:36.77 it's coming right inside of Christianity, 00:06:36.80\00:06:40.21 right inside at the Church, 00:06:40.24\00:06:41.99 now why does the devil wanna hide the law, 00:06:42.36\00:06:44.35 that's where we kind of left off. 00:06:44.38\00:06:45.96 Well God said when He gave the law, 00:06:45.99\00:06:48.28 I am gonna show you my picture of 00:06:48.31\00:06:49.28 my name, my character. 00:06:49.29\00:06:51.45 Yes. We discovered the Ten Commandments, 00:06:51.48\00:06:53.02 really are a picture of who He is, 00:06:53.05\00:06:55.02 it is not a set of rules, it is a picture of a 00:06:55.05\00:06:57.21 loving merciful God and it shows us who are to be 00:06:57.24\00:07:01.10 on the throne of the universe in our hearts. 00:07:01.13\00:07:02.98 Yes. And Lucifer doesn't want you to see this, 00:07:03.01\00:07:05.14 so let's hide those commandments, 00:07:05.17\00:07:07.69 let's hide God's name. Now that takes us to 00:07:07.72\00:07:11.64 Revelation 14. We are in 12, 00:07:11.67\00:07:14.45 we are gonna skip over to 14 now, and here is why, 00:07:14.48\00:07:17.79 you see a lot of material up there about the beast 00:07:18.59\00:07:20.82 and the number of the beast 00:07:20.85\00:07:21.96 and the mark of the beast and so on. 00:07:21.99\00:07:23.51 And they only ever show you Revelation 13 00:07:24.20\00:07:26.33 but that's an incomplete picture. It is. It is. 00:07:26.36\00:07:29.15 There is mark of the beast in Revelation 13 on the 00:07:29.18\00:07:31.27 head, on the hand, on the forehead and on the hand 00:07:31.30\00:07:35.01 Yeah. And they say hi, and there is must be a 00:07:35.04\00:07:37.74 computer chip embedded in your hand, it must be a 00:07:37.77\00:07:40.14 tattoo on the skin or something like that. 00:07:40.17\00:07:41.90 But they are not showing you in Revelation 14, 00:07:42.81\00:07:45.20 and you can't understand the mark of the beast 00:07:45.23\00:07:47.03 without Revelation 14. Verse one, this all 00:07:47.06\00:07:51.03 falls very neatly in the place and I looked, 00:07:51.06\00:07:54.28 and I remember chapter is 14 is God's side, 00:07:54.31\00:07:56.75 it's the woman. I looked and lo a lamb, 00:07:57.08\00:08:01.05 but we know who that is. Yeah. 00:08:01.47\00:08:02.68 Over and over Jesus is the Lamb of God. 00:08:02.71\00:08:04.54 Oh yes. Stood on the Mount Sion and with him 00:08:04.57\00:08:07.60 a hundred forty and four thousand having his 00:08:07.63\00:08:10.13 Father's name written in the foreheads. 00:08:10.16\00:08:14.03 Now Revelation 7 says that these people are sealed 00:08:14.81\00:08:17.98 in the foreheads. The father's name, 00:08:18.59\00:08:21.66 no one is at me, somebody takes a stamp 00:08:21.69\00:08:23.76 as these people are going to heaven and put 00:08:23.79\00:08:25.36 your way God on their forehead, on the vein, 00:08:26.01\00:08:28.06 is it literally what it means. Well you know 00:08:28.09\00:08:30.55 I say that because so often you get these movies 00:08:30.62\00:08:33.46 that comes out about the mark of beast. Yes. 00:08:33.49\00:08:35.23 People get a tattoo on their forehead 00:08:35.26\00:08:36.62 and never lost, but if you think about that, 00:08:36.65\00:08:38.97 that could mean that I could get some 00:08:39.00\00:08:41.11 strong friends and pin you down. Yeah. 00:08:41.14\00:08:43.09 I tattoo your forehead you are out of the kingdom. 00:08:43.12\00:08:44.85 Yeah. That doesn't sound. No. Right. Doesn't work. 00:08:44.88\00:08:47.99 No, what's on their forehead? Stamp, tattoo, 00:08:48.02\00:08:52.26 no it's the name written on their foreheads. 00:08:52.59\00:08:56.72 We know the father's name is his character, right. 00:08:57.27\00:09:01.70 Jesus demonstrated it. So these people, 00:09:01.73\00:09:04.48 we also know later in the chapter, 00:09:04.51\00:09:06.44 keep the commandments of God that's down in 00:09:06.47\00:09:09.74 verse 12, and we say in verse 6 and 7 they are 00:09:09.77\00:09:13.19 calling the world to worship God but in very 00:09:13.22\00:09:16.50 specific terms. They don't say worship the Almighty, 00:09:16.53\00:09:19.39 they don't say worship Adonis, 00:09:19.42\00:09:21.70 they don't say any, they say worship Him who made. 00:09:21.73\00:09:24.58 Made yes, yes, yes. 00:09:24.61\00:09:25.58 It's a call to worship the creator. Sure. Right. 00:09:25.59\00:09:28.93 And they have his character. 00:09:28.96\00:09:29.96 Now who are these people, they have 00:09:29.99\00:09:31.49 God's character in their foreheads. 00:09:31.52\00:09:33.95 Yeah. What's the forehead represent? 00:09:33.98\00:09:35.85 Yeah about patterns, how you think, how you act, 00:09:35.88\00:09:38.08 how you live. Absolutely, right with my mind. 00:09:38.11\00:09:40.77 Yes. I serve the law of God. Yes. 00:09:40.80\00:09:43.05 It's says in Romans chapter 7, 00:09:43.08\00:09:44.66 Paul is writing, this is behind this brick 00:09:44.69\00:09:47.11 wall up here. It's where I make my, 00:09:47.14\00:09:49.47 we actually know now the frontal lobes back there 00:09:49.50\00:09:51.64 and you make your moral judgments right up here 00:09:51.67\00:09:53.64 behind the forehead. When you are watching TV, 00:09:53.67\00:09:56.30 that's one of the issues is quite often unless 00:09:56.33\00:09:59.05 it is written on 3ABN. You just shut this part 00:09:59.08\00:10:03.06 down you are not making moral judgments anymore. 00:10:03.09\00:10:04.93 You know Hollywood presents the information 00:10:04.96\00:10:07.15 so fast. You are not making moral judgments. 00:10:07.18\00:10:08.69 Forehead is where you make your moral judgments. 00:10:08.72\00:10:12.59 Who are these people with God's name in their 00:10:12.98\00:10:14.49 forehead they made a decision. 00:10:14.52\00:10:15.87 The devil has said, the devil has said that 00:10:16.54\00:10:20.10 God is not fit to rule the universe. 00:10:20.13\00:10:22.75 The devil has said that God's character 00:10:23.23\00:10:25.47 is defective, that's why he is claiming that he 00:10:25.50\00:10:27.60 ought to be on the throne. Something is wrong 00:10:27.63\00:10:29.03 with God. These people in Revelation 14 00:10:29.06\00:10:33.31 refuse to listen to the line. These people had 00:10:33.34\00:10:35.98 made a decision with their mind that God 00:10:36.01\00:10:38.87 is everything he claims to be. To be yes, yes. 00:10:38.90\00:10:42.24 They say what God claims in Exodus 34, 00:10:42.27\00:10:45.53 I am merciful and longsuffering and gracious, 00:10:45.56\00:10:47.85 these people say that's true and my loyalty 00:10:48.73\00:10:51.14 belongs to the creator. My worship goes to 00:10:51.17\00:10:53.44 him not to the dragon. Yes. 00:10:53.47\00:10:55.37 It means Revelation 15. There is a group gathered 00:10:55.40\00:10:58.51 on the sea of glass and they sing, 00:10:58.54\00:10:59.94 Just in true of thy ways or can you sing, 00:10:59.97\00:11:01.87 all your judgments are manifest. 00:11:01.90\00:11:03.36 What are they saying? Every decision you've 00:11:03.39\00:11:05.45 made God, every word you ever spoken, 00:11:05.48\00:11:07.60 it's absolutely true we believe it. 00:11:07.85\00:11:10.69 Yeah, yeah. The character of God is written 00:11:10.72\00:11:13.17 in their foreheads, but it's not just I love God 00:11:13.20\00:11:17.37 and I have nice feelings about him. 00:11:17.40\00:11:18.88 There are so completely identify with him that 00:11:19.69\00:11:21.80 his character is being reproduce in their heart. 00:11:21.83\00:11:24.91 Yeah I think that's the key Shawn is that 00:11:24.94\00:11:26.65 you know letting Revelation explain itself 00:11:26.98\00:11:29.97 keeps you from a lot of schizophrenia. You know, 00:11:30.00\00:11:32.30 you know you've got a book that is Allegorical. 00:11:32.33\00:11:36.29 You take the broad picture. So we are not 00:11:37.71\00:11:40.48 talking about a postal stamp or ink stamp, 00:11:40.51\00:11:43.70 we are talking about a character reproduced 00:11:43.73\00:11:45.55 in your life and if you look at that way it's 00:11:45.58\00:11:48.74 settles it down for you. It makes a very logical, 00:11:48.77\00:11:51.26 very reasonable, and these people are in step 00:11:51.29\00:11:55.19 with God because God is inside now. That's right. 00:11:55.22\00:11:57.55 God is in their hearts, God is in their mind, 00:11:57.58\00:11:59.07 God is in their lives, they are the outworking 00:11:59.10\00:12:01.21 of the will of God because God is in them. 00:12:01.24\00:12:03.09 They are moved and Actuated by the power of God. 00:12:03.12\00:12:05.15 You notice it doesn't say that these people are 00:12:05.18\00:12:07.65 chained to Mount Zion. Precisely, yeah. 00:12:07.68\00:12:10.17 It doesn't say that. Right, right. 00:12:10.20\00:12:11.19 It's not alright. We are gonna grit our teeth 00:12:11.22\00:12:13.14 and do what those commandments say and live 00:12:13.46\00:12:15.89 the way God wants me to live because 00:12:15.92\00:12:17.88 otherwise I don't get to go to the heaven. Yeah. 00:12:17.91\00:12:19.42 That's not the case. No. 00:12:20.08\00:12:21.31 They are involved with Jesus. Precisely. 00:12:21.34\00:12:23.30 There are standing with the lamb. 00:12:23.33\00:12:24.30 They have the father named in their forehead. 00:12:24.31\00:12:25.78 Yeah. I believe it. Yeah. Now here is what's 00:12:25.81\00:12:27.76 really fascinating what brings it all together. 00:12:27.79\00:12:29.96 We know that the devil wants lawlessness, 00:12:30.97\00:12:33.09 the man of sin, the mystery of iniquity, 00:12:33.30\00:12:35.82 the wicked one who comes, the word is lawless 00:12:36.11\00:12:38.49 Jesus said be careful of lawlessness in the end. 00:12:38.52\00:12:41.22 Lawlessness is what he is after. It comes up 00:12:41.69\00:12:43.51 up over and over again in prophecy. 00:12:43.54\00:12:45.31 Hebrews chapter 10 says something outstandingly. 00:12:45.65\00:12:48.86 Yes, yes, you are going. Hebrews chapter 10, 00:12:48.89\00:12:50.63 alright verse 16. This is talking about Israel 00:12:50.66\00:12:55.21 after the days of Jesus having come to this earth. 00:12:55.24\00:12:58.89 Book of Hebrews is trying to help Israel understand 00:12:59.27\00:13:02.43 that they need to follow Jesus. He was Messiah, 00:13:02.91\00:13:05.13 and that all of the sanctuary services 00:13:05.36\00:13:07.35 everything was pointing forward to Jesus. Yeah. 00:13:07.38\00:13:10.63 And that he was the reality behind 00:13:10.66\00:13:12.48 all of those forms. Right verse 16 of chapter 10, 00:13:12.51\00:13:17.19 God says this is the covenant I will make 00:13:17.22\00:13:20.73 with them after those days saith the Lord, 00:13:20.76\00:13:22.69 I will put my laws. Laws. Wait a minute 00:13:23.32\00:13:26.86 somebody says, "God laws" that was Old Testament. 00:13:26.89\00:13:29.83 Not according to Book of Hebrews, 00:13:30.04\00:13:32.03 still wrong to murder, still wrong to kill, 00:13:32.06\00:13:34.76 still wrong to commit adultery. 00:13:35.30\00:13:36.77 Here what he says. I will put my laws in 00:13:37.25\00:13:39.77 to their hearts and in their minds, 00:13:39.80\00:13:43.24 will I write them. Will I write them. 00:13:43.79\00:13:45.16 Yeah. Wait a minute is God taking a tattoo pen. 00:13:45.19\00:13:48.93 No. God's name is in our hand, in our forehead, 00:13:51.10\00:13:54.98 in our mind, we identify with God, 00:13:55.01\00:13:57.79 our loyalty is with Him, we love Him, 00:13:57.82\00:13:59.81 we worship Him. That's right. 00:13:59.84\00:14:01.72 And His law is a picture of who He is 00:14:02.79\00:14:04.74 we can't help it. Yeah. Now when you come to 00:14:04.77\00:14:06.70 Jesus, a friend of mine used to say all of a 00:14:06.73\00:14:09.26 sudden you start to love the things 00:14:09.29\00:14:10.71 you used to hate, hate the things 00:14:10.74\00:14:12.61 you used to change. Yeah. It says in 00:14:12.64\00:14:15.24 2nd Corinthians 5, I am a new creature. 00:14:15.27\00:14:17.82 Creature, yeah. What? Reinvented! 00:14:17.85\00:14:20.19 Yeah, praise God. Alright. 00:14:20.22\00:14:21.80 You know this goes back to what you said before. 00:14:21.83\00:14:23.57 Unless you have this Hebrew based Revelation 00:14:23.60\00:14:26.26 comes that you gonna cut off, you know. 00:14:26.29\00:14:27.97 That's right. Because you are. 00:14:28.00\00:14:29.07 Now a tattoo makes in. Yeah, it does, but once you 00:14:29.56\00:14:34.09 read Hebrews because he is alluding back to this. 00:14:34.12\00:14:36.26 This is where he is getting the stuff from 00:14:36.56\00:14:37.86 and so if you have this based then it smoothes 00:14:37.89\00:14:40.67 out for you. It makes a very logical. 00:14:40.70\00:14:42.30 It makes you something, it makes something 00:14:42.91\00:14:44.47 to be desired because you understand 00:14:44.50\00:14:46.63 what he is saying, what John is say in Revelation, 00:14:46.66\00:14:49.24 he is building on what Paul said in Hebrews. 00:14:49.89\00:14:51.91 Absolutely. Yeah. He is building on a lot of 00:14:52.26\00:14:54.19 things. He is building on what Mosses wrote. 00:14:54.22\00:14:55.83 Precisely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:14:55.86\00:14:57.22 There is another fascinating passage. 00:14:57.25\00:14:58.35 You remember when God reveals his name 00:14:58.38\00:15:00.16 to Mosses; it's in the context to Mosses getting 00:15:00.19\00:15:02.09 ready to write down Ten Commandments. 00:15:02.12\00:15:03.57 Now it set the stage. Here is my character, 00:15:03.93\00:15:05.86 that's what this is all about, In Deuteronomy 6, 00:15:05.89\00:15:09.17 right after God gives the Ten Commandments, 00:15:09.94\00:15:11.99 we have what's called the Shamor. 00:15:12.02\00:15:13.25 He always wrote that Lord is one, yeah still 00:15:13.54\00:15:15.84 recited by our Jewish friends to this day. 00:15:15.87\00:15:18.91 To this day, yeah. But there is something 00:15:18.94\00:15:20.58 fascinating that God says about his law in 00:15:20.61\00:15:23.00 Deuteronomy Chapter 6 that is another important 00:15:23.03\00:15:26.94 key completely unlocks Revelation chapter 13. 00:15:26.97\00:15:29.93 It's in Deuteronomy 6 in verse 6, 00:15:30.71\00:15:32.86 here's what God says, and these words, 00:15:33.14\00:15:36.12 this is the context to the Ten Commandments 00:15:36.15\00:15:37.94 these words, which I command thee this day, 00:15:38.75\00:15:41.19 shall be in thine heart. Well that's kind a like 00:15:41.69\00:15:43.96 we read in Hebrews I am gonna write in your heart. 00:15:43.99\00:15:45.82 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto 00:15:46.15\00:15:48.41 thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou 00:15:48.44\00:15:50.92 sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest 00:15:50.95\00:15:53.50 by the way, and when thou liest down, and 00:15:53.53\00:15:55.53 when thou risest up. Have we been chained to it? 00:15:55.56\00:15:57.85 No. We are living it. Precisely. 00:15:57.88\00:15:59.67 Every minute of the day this is who we are now, 00:15:59.70\00:16:01.70 and here comes, verse 8, And thou shalt bind 00:16:02.05\00:16:05.40 them for a sign upon thine hand, and they 00:16:05.43\00:16:08.90 shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 00:16:08.93\00:16:11.57 Where is between your eyes. 00:16:11.60\00:16:12.57 Yeah right here forehead. Forehead. Yes sir. 00:16:12.58\00:16:14.63 What has God said about Ten Commandments? 00:16:14.66\00:16:16.15 Put it on your forehead and your hand. Yeah. 00:16:16.18\00:16:17.89 Wait a minute! I am not that brightest guy 00:16:17.92\00:16:20.05 in the world. But when I read that, 00:16:20.08\00:16:22.27 it's like a bell those, ding, ding, ding, ding 00:16:22.30\00:16:24.32 wait a minute. Yeah. God's name is His character, 00:16:24.35\00:16:26.89 God's law is His character, 00:16:27.34\00:16:29.48 God's name is found in His law, 00:16:29.51\00:16:31.63 and He wants it on the forehead and the hand. 00:16:32.05\00:16:33.98 Yeah. Now that's what nobody says in the movies, 00:16:34.01\00:16:37.26 that's what nobody says in all these 00:16:37.65\00:16:39.47 thousands of books on Bible prophecy, 00:16:39.50\00:16:41.06 there is two sides In Revelation 14 00:16:41.56\00:16:43.82 God also has a mark. It's not just the mark of 00:16:43.85\00:16:45.93 the beast on the forehead and the hand, 00:16:45.96\00:16:47.28 God has a mark and it's His name, 00:16:47.31\00:16:48.79 His character, and His law. Yeah. 00:16:48.82\00:16:50.24 yeah that is powerful, very simple, and 00:16:50.27\00:16:52.42 very straight forward, and very powerful, 00:16:52.45\00:16:53.97 very powerful, which is why Shawn so many 00:16:54.00\00:16:56.35 religious groups miss about when they think 00:16:56.87\00:16:59.18 that they were be going back to or being bound 00:16:59.21\00:17:01.48 by a law because looking at something, a rules, 00:17:01.51\00:17:05.28 a list of dos and don'ts, but when it's 00:17:05.31\00:17:06.88 part of your life, it's like your wife. 00:17:06.91\00:17:08.70 When your wife says Shawn get me a drink of water, 00:17:08.73\00:17:10.55 it's no big deal because you love her, 00:17:10.58\00:17:12.22 because you have a relationship with her. 00:17:12.25\00:17:13.61 It's not bondage. It's actually binding, 00:17:13.64\00:17:16.59 it's bounding, you know because you love her 00:17:16.62\00:17:18.92 it's reaffirming a relationship and that's 00:17:18.95\00:17:21.52 where it's in New Testament, 00:17:21.55\00:17:22.75 it's part of it, I want to this. That's right. 00:17:22.78\00:17:24.26 You are not being forced to do this. 00:17:24.29\00:17:25.29 This is what I want to do. 00:17:25.32\00:17:26.29 I don't want to do anything else. 00:17:26.30\00:17:27.27 That's too bad that you pick going for 00:17:27.28\00:17:29.38 glass of water because my wife and I fight about 00:17:29.41\00:17:31.21 that bit at night, I am thirsty who is gonna go, 00:17:31.24\00:17:32.97 and we literally play rock papers to see 00:17:33.00\00:17:37.04 who is gonna go downstairs and go get 00:17:37.07\00:17:38.60 the glass of water. So but you know I often 00:17:38.63\00:17:42.43 thought about like this, how can Lucifer fall. 00:17:42.46\00:17:46.21 Well, God gave him freedom of choice, why? 00:17:47.15\00:17:49.40 Well because if you are not free to walk away 00:17:50.57\00:17:52.72 from God, you are not really free to love him. 00:17:52.75\00:17:54.60 Precisely. You are chained to him. Oh yes. 00:17:54.63\00:17:56.06 It's not about, when I come home 00:17:56.09\00:17:57.25 at the end of the day, and my wife and kids 00:17:57.28\00:17:59.24 were there and my kids come running to the door, 00:17:59.27\00:18:01.91 daddy you are home, you are home. 00:18:01.94\00:18:03.10 That's exciting why because these beautiful 00:18:03.13\00:18:06.39 woman agreed to marry me and she is still there 00:18:06.42\00:18:09.57 17 years later, of her own free will. 00:18:09.60\00:18:11.73 She didn't leave while I was at work 00:18:11.76\00:18:13.22 and it's a miracle. But if I come home 00:18:13.25\00:18:16.24 and she is chained to the wall. Yeah. 00:18:16.27\00:18:18.05 Yeah, I come in and hi honey. She say hi, 00:18:18.47\00:18:20.83 you know, that's not that exciting. 00:18:20.86\00:18:22.44 She has got no choice. Right. 00:18:22.47\00:18:23.79 Lucifer exercise choice. There is no real love 00:18:23.82\00:18:26.76 without choice, and these people are not 00:18:26.79\00:18:29.81 chained to outside. They have exercise choice. 00:18:29.84\00:18:32.94 I am giving my heart to Jesus. Yeah. 00:18:33.76\00:18:35.52 I see what God is really like as Jesus 00:18:35.55\00:18:38.09 hangs on that cross, as he gives his life for me. 00:18:38.12\00:18:41.41 What kind of God comes down, 00:18:41.44\00:18:43.46 out of the glories of heaven, 00:18:43.49\00:18:44.58 lives in this horrible place, and lets us 00:18:45.05\00:18:47.70 put him to death, I buy it. I buy the lamb, 00:18:47.73\00:18:50.95 I buy God. My loyalty is entirely with Him. 00:18:50.98\00:18:53.67 I don't buy the law. I see that the rules 00:18:53.70\00:18:55.59 aren't to chain. I am here at my own free will. 00:18:55.62\00:18:59.25 Yeah, powerful and compelling. Yeah. 00:18:59.49\00:19:02.23 Very much said. Very much said. 00:19:02.26\00:19:03.71 Of course what that means is now it's probably 00:19:04.18\00:19:07.34 time to go back to Revelation 13. Now again, 00:19:07.37\00:19:11.56 because it's the final. Yeah, because you have 00:19:11.95\00:19:12.92 said a whole foundation. The whole foundation 00:19:12.93\00:19:14.66 is in the outline at thefinalmoments.com, 00:19:14.69\00:19:17.16 because we were gonna over stuff that I often 00:19:18.51\00:19:20.59 take 5, 6 hours to unpack and we are just 00:19:20.62\00:19:23.06 kind of flying over from a bird's eye view. 00:19:23.09\00:19:26.64 But here we come to the mark of the beast. 00:19:27.60\00:19:29.87 God says that He wants His law in the forehead 00:19:29.90\00:19:34.56 and in the hand. Here God's name is sealed 00:19:34.59\00:19:38.83 in the foreheads of these people. 00:19:38.86\00:19:40.76 Now when people talk about the mark of the beast, 00:19:41.37\00:19:43.02 did you say that kind of go off Kankai. 00:19:43.05\00:19:45.18 They go dictator in Europe, microchip in the 00:19:45.21\00:19:47.78 hand and debit cards, some big computers 00:19:47.81\00:19:49.71 in Belgium that knows everybody's personal data 00:19:49.74\00:19:51.92 that's got to be the beast and so on. 00:19:51.95\00:19:53.64 Now it may well be, that debit cards, 00:19:54.97\00:19:59.03 I remember when debit cards came out, 00:19:59.06\00:20:00.46 I wasn't really a Christian but I knew 00:20:01.18\00:20:03.17 enough about prophecy to think, oh, 00:20:03.20\00:20:05.51 is that mark of the beast should I get one of those. 00:20:05.84\00:20:08.30 It may well be if that becomes a tool. 00:20:10.37\00:20:12.61 I am not going to say it won't. 00:20:12.95\00:20:14.18 I am not prognostic and again 00:20:14.21\00:20:15.77 prophecy is not about predicting, 00:20:16.25\00:20:17.86 it's about seeing things takes place. 00:20:17.89\00:20:19.47 The Bible does say no man can buy or sell. 00:20:19.92\00:20:22.10 There is gonna be some mechanism to enforce 00:20:22.43\00:20:24.33 that may be one day I will go the ATM 00:20:24.36\00:20:26.16 and swipe my card, there is nothing in there. 00:20:26.19\00:20:28.48 Now I know what that feels like already 00:20:28.62\00:20:30.16 but one day it will just say denied, right denied. 00:20:30.19\00:20:33.81 Yeah. So there you go. Is that a tool for 00:20:33.84\00:20:36.34 enforcement of the Mark of Beast? Yeah, 00:20:36.37\00:20:37.83 but it's not the mark of the beast. 00:20:37.86\00:20:39.33 Could it play out like that? Yeah, 00:20:39.36\00:20:41.27 but it's not the mark of the beast. Those are 00:20:41.30\00:20:42.78 peripheral issues and we are distracted. 00:20:42.81\00:20:44.89 Yeah. There will be economic enforcement 00:20:44.92\00:20:46.94 but we can't let these little nitpicky; yeah, 00:20:46.97\00:20:50.05 they are distracting us. Yeah. 00:20:50.48\00:20:52.37 I am a day or two older than you and 00:20:52.40\00:20:54.01 I can recall when barcodes came out, oh yeah, 00:20:54.04\00:20:57.27 and hearing a sermons on barcodes and how 00:20:57.30\00:20:59.34 that was going be the Mark of Beast, you know, 00:20:59.37\00:21:00.82 these little barcodes. The first one is a double 00:21:00.85\00:21:03.45 and it's a 6 and the middle one the long one 00:21:03.48\00:21:05.21 is another 6, and the third one, yeah, 00:21:05.24\00:21:07.15 problem is that the ones on the outside 00:21:07.38\00:21:08.77 are reversed images and they are anyway, 00:21:08.80\00:21:10.71 I have seen this, really barcodes were, 00:21:11.13\00:21:14.12 they preaching at one point, yeah, 00:21:14.15\00:21:15.30 they are really preaching at one point, yeah. 00:21:15.33\00:21:16.73 Yeah, there were pastors up saying, 00:21:16.76\00:21:18.09 you know we have our eyes on so many, 00:21:18.12\00:21:20.53 many things and we really need to have 00:21:20.56\00:21:22.09 our face in the mirror and in the word. 00:21:22.12\00:21:24.07 You were looking at Rome. 00:21:24.78\00:21:25.75 We are looking at Jerusalem, 00:21:25.76\00:21:26.73 every time the Pope does something, 00:21:26.74\00:21:28.74 Adventists catch cold, you know that kind of thing. 00:21:29.12\00:21:31.06 So we are looking all around, 00:21:31.42\00:21:33.01 looking at different city, different towns, 00:21:33.04\00:21:34.53 and different people. We are ought to have 00:21:34.56\00:21:35.96 our eyes in the word and on ourselves because 00:21:35.99\00:21:38.68 as you are so rightly saying the problem is in 00:21:38.71\00:21:41.53 the house of God. The problem is in 00:21:41.56\00:21:43.85 legacy and Church, which doesn't want rules 00:21:44.29\00:21:46.65 and regulations and that is much more to be 00:21:46.68\00:21:49.34 feared then a ranked Atheist, who says 00:21:49.37\00:21:50.87 I don't believe in anything. Absolutely. 00:21:50.90\00:21:52.29 Yeah you can figure out who that is, 00:21:52.32\00:21:54.16 yeah, you cheat him mile away. Precisely. 00:21:54.19\00:21:55.91 And God's warning for the last 2000 years is 00:21:55.94\00:21:58.04 watch yourselves, O Israel. Yes. 00:21:58.07\00:22:00.69 It's gonna happened in your midst. Yes, yes. 00:22:01.14\00:22:03.32 So we should be looking for something 00:22:03.35\00:22:04.65 that happens inside Christianity 00:22:04.68\00:22:06.50 and some point between John's day and today. 00:22:06.53\00:22:08.36 Yes. Right. Yeah. Mark of the beast. 00:22:08.39\00:22:11.07 God's people have His name and 00:22:11.53\00:22:12.91 His character in their foreheads. 00:22:12.94\00:22:14.31 Bible says that it's actually sealed there. 00:22:14.34\00:22:17.67 We know that the key issues are worship, 00:22:18.03\00:22:20.02 that's the call in Revelation 13 and 14 00:22:20.58\00:22:22.68 and there is this issue of Lawlessness shows up 00:22:22.71\00:22:26.03 in all the prophetic passages, Lawlessness. 00:22:26.06\00:22:28.77 God's people keep the Commandments 00:22:29.07\00:22:30.47 and so on. So what is the mark of the beast? 00:22:30.50\00:22:32.97 We got to look for something that 00:22:33.37\00:22:35.04 calls for people to worship falsely and is a 00:22:35.07\00:22:39.28 violation of God's love. It's that simple. 00:22:39.31\00:22:41.32 That's just from the plain reading of the text. 00:22:41.71\00:22:43.45 Yeah. Right. Yeah. 00:22:43.48\00:22:44.57 It's pretty easy to figure it out. 00:22:44.60\00:22:46.27 There is only two sides in the end, 00:22:46.59\00:22:48.10 chapter 13, 14 and everybody's got to 00:22:48.13\00:22:50.09 make up their mind which chapter do I live in. 00:22:50.12\00:22:52.16 It's your choice. God doesn't force you 00:22:52.61\00:22:54.11 in the kingdom, but I want the lamb beside me. 00:22:54.14\00:22:57.33 Do I want the father's name in my forehead, 00:22:57.36\00:22:59.07 or am I going after something false. 00:22:59.58\00:23:01.30 Yeah, yeah. Pretty easy to figure out two sides. 00:23:01.33\00:23:04.65 In Revelation 14 the sealed people 00:23:05.42\00:23:07.39 keep the law. These are the people who don't 00:23:07.42\00:23:10.70 have the Mark of Beast in Revelation 14. 00:23:10.73\00:23:12.61 They don't have the mark, and it's says 00:23:13.00\00:23:14.77 they keep the Commandments of God 00:23:14.80\00:23:16.07 and they have the faith of Jesus. Yes, yes. 00:23:16.10\00:23:18.18 Well pretty easy to figure it out now and 00:23:18.64\00:23:20.68 those who do have the mark, do not keep the 00:23:20.71\00:23:24.50 Commandments of God and have the 00:23:24.53\00:23:25.66 faith of Jesus, yes. That's a conclusion. 00:23:25.69\00:23:28.13 It's really pretty simple. We are looking for 00:23:28.49\00:23:30.45 something that has false worship, calls worship 00:23:30.48\00:23:34.02 in the wrong direction, violates God's law 00:23:34.05\00:23:36.95 and up hold's man instead of the creator. 00:23:37.38\00:23:41.96 Yeah, yeah you know you put another 00:23:41.99\00:23:44.57 sort of shade to it. Not only is it worship, 00:23:44.99\00:23:48.58 it's correct worship. It's worship as 00:23:49.16\00:23:51.34 God has ordained. It's not only that you 00:23:51.37\00:23:54.71 must worship, it's who you worship 00:23:54.74\00:23:56.34 and how you worship. You know there are 00:23:56.37\00:23:59.74 shades that we want, we want true worship. 00:23:59.77\00:24:01.76 We want God ordained worship. 00:24:01.79\00:24:03.20 God explains who to worship 00:24:03.23\00:24:04.95 and how do you worship, 00:24:04.98\00:24:06.08 and if we see any variations in that, 00:24:06.39\00:24:08.79 then we are to get our heads up 00:24:09.13\00:24:10.26 and look very, very closely. Absolutely, yeah. 00:24:10.29\00:24:12.47 Now I am glad that you said that because that's 00:24:12.88\00:24:14.85 really comes right down to the heart of the issue. 00:24:14.88\00:24:17.62 This all comes to a climax at some point, 00:24:18.34\00:24:20.24 that hasn't happened yet. 00:24:20.27\00:24:21.33 No death to cry on us and so on. 00:24:21.36\00:24:22.73 It's come to a climax and that's where 00:24:23.07\00:24:25.11 all of the sudden it seals on mark. 00:24:25.14\00:24:26.77 God's mark or the beast mark. Right, right. 00:24:27.12\00:24:29.34 Not there or now, because it is not 00:24:29.37\00:24:31.17 death penalty out there yet. 00:24:31.20\00:24:32.52 Right nobody, not yet, it's coming 00:24:32.93\00:24:35.62 and the time to make a decision is now. 00:24:35.65\00:24:37.13 Now what's interesting is, a lot of Christians 00:24:37.16\00:24:38.69 will say okay Lawlessness, great fine, 00:24:38.72\00:24:40.92 that's the issue we are all okay because 00:24:40.95\00:24:43.26 we've got no problem with God's law. 00:24:43.29\00:24:44.62 I know what the sin to steal is, 00:24:44.65\00:24:45.92 I know what the sin to commit adultery, 00:24:45.95\00:24:47.14 I would never take God's name in vain and so on. 00:24:47.17\00:24:49.12 What's fascinating is it when you sit down 00:24:50.10\00:24:53.69 and look at the Ten Commandments 00:24:53.72\00:24:55.73 all of a sudden and the very hard of them is 00:24:56.05\00:24:59.03 one Commandment that we really don't keep, 00:24:59.06\00:25:02.16 oh what do you mean, we're keeping all. 00:25:03.47\00:25:04.53 Well let's think about it. What about, 00:25:04.56\00:25:07.06 as a matter fact it's the only Commandment 00:25:07.09\00:25:08.86 that begins with the word, Remember, that's thou 00:25:08.89\00:25:12.01 shall not, thou shall not, this one is remember 00:25:12.04\00:25:14.95 almost like God knew somebody 00:25:14.98\00:25:16.45 was going to forget, yeah, yeah. 00:25:16.48\00:25:18.83 My wife says Shawn remember to pick up 00:25:18.86\00:25:21.75 a loaf of bread on the way to home. 00:25:21.78\00:25:22.99 Why does she say that? Because you may, 00:25:23.02\00:25:25.29 I'm gonna forget. She would tie the note 00:25:25.32\00:25:28.18 to the end of my nose, as I am gonna forget. 00:25:28.21\00:25:30.18 One Commandment, alright. 00:25:31.06\00:25:32.92 One is the Fourth Commandment 00:25:33.75\00:25:35.02 saying in Exodus, remember the Sabbath Day, 00:25:35.05\00:25:37.17 to keep it Holy, six days shall you labor 00:25:37.20\00:25:39.12 do all your work, the seventh is holy. Yeah. 00:25:39.15\00:25:42.20 It's different, why? In that same passage in 00:25:42.23\00:25:44.70 Exodus 28 through 11, for in 6 days 00:25:44.73\00:25:47.54 the Lord made, made, yes, wait a minute, yeah. 00:25:47.57\00:25:50.64 That's the language from Revelation 14 00:25:50.67\00:25:52.86 word for word almost. 00:25:52.89\00:25:54.67 It's a Commandment in God's law 00:25:55.00\00:25:57.38 that reveals his character, 00:25:57.41\00:25:58.74 it's a description of our relationship to Him 00:25:58.77\00:26:01.48 and it calls us to worship the creator 00:26:02.13\00:26:04.83 the way He would like to be worshipped. 00:26:04.86\00:26:06.30 He set aside a memorial in time. 00:26:06.33\00:26:08.77 Now I came to a point in my life where 00:26:09.14\00:26:10.45 I thought okay yeah but I go to Church every week 00:26:10.48\00:26:12.68 and I also now look at the Calendar 00:26:14.36\00:26:15.80 I don't go on the Seventh Day, remarkable. Yeah. 00:26:17.25\00:26:21.60 Now I checked history and Christians kept the 00:26:22.34\00:26:24.48 Seventh Day for hundreds of years after Christ 00:26:24.51\00:26:26.75 and then the shift happens inside Christianity. 00:26:26.78\00:26:30.40 Yes, yes, and you can search the Bible 00:26:30.43\00:26:32.31 cover to cover and prayerfully you know 00:26:32.34\00:26:34.63 I have nothing to urge on people ever, 00:26:34.66\00:26:36.86 except for one thing open your Bible 00:26:37.21\00:26:40.10 and let's know what God says if I am wrong 00:26:40.13\00:26:41.98 by all means reject everything, 00:26:42.52\00:26:44.03 pop that tape out of your VCR, turn off the TV, 00:26:44.42\00:26:47.71 yeah, on all what I am saying, sure, 00:26:47.74\00:26:49.12 because I will make mistakes 00:26:49.15\00:26:50.67 but go to the word see what it says. 00:26:51.02\00:26:53.07 Will you ever find any mention of a change? 00:26:53.77\00:26:55.97 Did God ever change His mind about that 00:26:56.00\00:26:57.74 Fourth Commandment? Yeah. 00:26:57.77\00:26:58.85 And I came to the realization at my early 00:26:59.23\00:27:01.43 20's no I looked everywhere it's not there. 00:27:01.46\00:27:05.78 Now this is a study that you did on your own, 00:27:05.81\00:27:07.38 just attacking the word the stuff. 00:27:07.41\00:27:09.24 Absolutely, yeah, you know and I would start 00:27:09.27\00:27:10.77 asking questions and eventually somebody, 00:27:10.80\00:27:13.96 your preacher show I had so many questions 00:27:13.99\00:27:15.54 preacher did show to me, yeah, but absolutely 00:27:15.57\00:27:17.36 I started digging around and I remember going to 00:27:17.39\00:27:19.47 Minister and saying hey as far as I understand 00:27:19.50\00:27:23.11 we've always kept the Seventh Day, 00:27:23.91\00:27:26.51 it was there in Eden. It was there for Israel, 00:27:26.54\00:27:29.63 it was there before sin. People often say the 00:27:29.66\00:27:31.47 Sabbath was a shadow done away 00:27:31.50\00:27:32.74 with the Cross, yeah. 00:27:32.77\00:27:33.74 Not possible because it was there before sin, 00:27:33.75\00:27:35.49 precisely, no shadows when there is no sin. 00:27:35.52\00:27:37.46 Alright there is nothing to do away with. 00:27:37.92\00:27:39.58 It's there in Eden, Genesis Chapter 2. 00:27:39.96\00:27:42.73 It's there with the Israelites. 00:27:43.18\00:27:44.91 Read the record of Jesus. He doesn't mention 00:27:45.32\00:27:47.11 any change and matter of fact 00:27:47.14\00:27:48.11 He says He kept the Sabbath. 00:27:48.13\00:27:49.10 The apostles all through the Book of Acts 00:27:49.47\00:27:51.02 continue to keep the Sabbath. 00:27:51.05\00:27:52.11 Isaiah 66 says we are gonna keep it maneuver, 00:27:52.14\00:27:54.59 from Sabbath to Sabbath, shall of, 00:27:55.30\00:27:56.61 let's come and worship the performance, precisely. 00:27:56.64\00:27:58.25 So it's always been there except in the 00:27:58.28\00:28:01.54 early centuries of Christianity, those who 00:28:01.57\00:28:03.84 were leaving had migrated sort of up to 00:28:03.87\00:28:06.09 Europe and living in the city of Rome, 00:28:06.12\00:28:09.71 had sort of tried to distance themselves 00:28:10.42\00:28:12.26 from the Jews because the Jews 00:28:12.29\00:28:13.42 were not popular with the Romans. 00:28:13.45\00:28:14.42 Already in the Second Century some of them 00:28:14.43\00:28:15.88 start saying well the Romans keep the first day 00:28:15.91\00:28:17.61 of the week for their religious purposes, 00:28:17.64\00:28:19.71 their Gods, we kinda shift over, 00:28:19.74\00:28:21.85 and from there it land slide. 00:28:22.20\00:28:23.65 And over the centuries you see the 00:28:23.68\00:28:24.75 first day replace the Seventh, sure, 00:28:24.78\00:28:28.04 with no Commandment from the Bible whatsoever. 00:28:28.07\00:28:31.37 Now wait a minute. 00:28:31.40\00:28:32.37 Here is a Commandment that we've all forgotten. 00:28:33.11\00:28:34.97 The Bible says Lawlessness will show up 00:28:35.00\00:28:36.49 inside the Church. It's the Commandment 00:28:36.52\00:28:38.48 that shows the very character of God. 00:28:38.51\00:28:40.27 It's the Commandment that shows us 00:28:40.30\00:28:41.56 why we should be loyal to Him, 00:28:41.59\00:28:43.02 and strictly about relationship. 00:28:43.05\00:28:45.09 Ezekiel Chapter 20 verse 12, Moreover also 00:28:46.02\00:28:49.63 I gave them my Sabbaths, 00:28:49.66\00:28:50.85 to be a sign between me and them, yes. 00:28:50.88\00:28:52.82 Oh, sign, because I see the mark of stamp. 00:28:53.14\00:28:56.62 Ezekiel 20 verse 19, I am the Lord, your God, 00:28:56.96\00:28:59.20 walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, 00:28:59.23\00:29:01.21 and do them and hallow my Sabbaths, 00:29:01.24\00:29:02.90 there should be sign between you and me. 00:29:03.32\00:29:05.19 I hallow them because God says you know 00:29:05.70\00:29:07.05 what be a fun, He said no the Angel will be. 00:29:07.08\00:29:09.32 It will be fun if we made him take a day off, 00:29:11.31\00:29:12.78 yeah, come on, is that the character of God 00:29:12.81\00:29:15.91 described in you. No, that's capricious. 00:29:15.94\00:29:17.84 That's not like us at all, yeah. No. 00:29:17.87\00:29:19.46 The whole world has somehow 00:29:19.49\00:29:21.69 forgotten one Commandment and it's a 00:29:21.72\00:29:23.84 sign of our relationship with God, yeah. 00:29:23.87\00:29:25.76 It should come as no surprise 00:29:26.09\00:29:27.63 to discover as Christians. 00:29:27.66\00:29:28.99 When the warning is watched inside the Church, 00:29:29.02\00:29:30.92 watch for Lawlessness, watch for worship 00:29:31.34\00:29:33.74 that's been misdirected. 00:29:33.77\00:29:35.07 It's so clear if you just read 00:29:35.10\00:29:36.85 Revelation 13 and 14, sit down and read them 00:29:36.88\00:29:39.13 out loud, turn off the TV, shut out all the books, 00:29:39.16\00:29:41.72 just read those out loud 00:29:41.75\00:29:42.72 and see what leaps off the page. 00:29:42.73\00:29:43.79 She come as no surprise to us to 00:29:44.50\00:29:46.43 discover that most of the Christian world 00:29:46.46\00:29:48.17 is now observing a different day of the week. 00:29:48.46\00:29:50.43 Wait a minute, maths just dropped by the enemy. 00:29:51.00\00:29:53.04 You bet. Why such a small issue though, right. 00:29:53.07\00:29:55.97 Yeah. Just a day, come on now. 00:29:56.00\00:29:57.84 Yeah in the Garden of Eden it was just a tree, 00:29:57.87\00:30:00.54 just a tree. But it was a sign of loyalty. 00:30:01.91\00:30:04.82 God says you gonna believe my word 00:30:04.85\00:30:06.61 if you eat from that tree you will die. 00:30:07.41\00:30:08.81 The devil comes along and says 00:30:08.84\00:30:09.81 did God really say that, showing doubt. 00:30:09.82\00:30:13.53 God says every Seventh Day, 00:30:14.30\00:30:15.94 I wanna spent whole day with you. 00:30:15.97\00:30:17.38 I am your Father, I wanna be with you. 00:30:17.41\00:30:19.84 I wanna hang out with you, you know whole 00:30:19.87\00:30:21.36 cry of children today is more time with daddy, 00:30:21.39\00:30:23.34 yeah and God says I got time for you every day. 00:30:23.37\00:30:26.26 You can stop worrying.

It's a sign of our relationship. 00:30:39.53\00:30:43.41 And when you put in that context Shawn, 00:30:43.44\00:30:44.98 as much as God had invested in that day, 00:30:45.37\00:30:47.75 signed it with his own name as it were 00:30:49.74\00:30:51.38 keep it because it's a sign of His creation, 00:30:52.00\00:30:55.28 for man to say just not the bigger deal. 00:30:55.31\00:30:57.79 I like this day better. It is an affront to God. 00:30:58.08\00:31:01.17 He is waiting there to me with us. 00:31:03.05\00:31:04.38 He promises to give us so much on that day, 00:31:04.67\00:31:07.17 promises to invest that day with blessings that 00:31:07.48\00:31:09.91 can be gotten to another day and man comes on 00:31:09.94\00:31:12.01 and says I like this other day better, take my day. 00:31:12.04\00:31:15.43 Yeah, yeah, what's like canning? Yeah. 00:31:15.75\00:31:17.62 God says bring a Lamb. Why a lamb? 00:31:18.00\00:31:21.07 Well Lamb is always pointed forward to Jesus. 00:31:21.10\00:31:22.92 Yes. Bring a lamb for an offering? 00:31:22.95\00:31:25.34 What is cambering? Well Bible says Cain's offering 00:31:25.60\00:31:28.25 I used to wonder why is his offering rejected? 00:31:28.28\00:31:30.21 Why is it rejected? It seems so unfair. 00:31:31.31\00:31:33.06 He is the vegetable farmer; 00:31:33.09\00:31:34.32 let him bring his vegetables. Yeah, yeah. 00:31:34.35\00:31:35.98 Book of Hebrews says, he didn't offer by faith, 00:31:36.61\00:31:39.19 that lamb was a symbol of faith in Christ. 00:31:39.44\00:31:41.24 Right, right. He is saying alright, you know, 00:31:41.27\00:31:43.26 I know it's a lamb but God's not that picky, 00:31:43.29\00:31:44.87 with His symbols He is. Yeah, yeah. 00:31:45.33\00:31:48.20 And with His signs He is. Yeah and entrancingly 00:31:48.23\00:31:51.74 the lamb is no better than the fruit. 00:31:51.77\00:31:53.05 I mean the fruit was the best that he had 00:31:53.92\00:31:57.63 but it wasn't what God asked for. 00:31:57.66\00:31:58.99 He didn't say give me the best you have, 00:31:59.62\00:32:01.01 just give me what I ask for, that's right, 00:32:01.35\00:32:02.70 and I think your point is very well taken that 00:32:02.73\00:32:04.27 with signs and symbols He is very particular. 00:32:04.30\00:32:06.98 He is not general in any sense. He is very, 00:32:07.01\00:32:09.36 very particular because they each have 00:32:09.39\00:32:11.36 the specific meaning, meeting with God on the 00:32:11.39\00:32:13.71 Seventh Day says I accept what Christ did for me. 00:32:13.74\00:32:17.31 I accept you as creator God. 00:32:17.34\00:32:19.03 I accept to go your way and not my own. 00:32:19.33\00:32:21.64 So I am not gonna pick my own day, 00:32:21.67\00:32:22.78 I am gonna pick the day that you want 00:32:23.06\00:32:25.21 because that's what you want. 00:32:25.24\00:32:27.29 So if your wife says give me a glass of water, 00:32:27.32\00:32:29.44 you don't bring her a glass of tea 00:32:29.73\00:32:31.60 or a glass of soda, you bring a glass of water. 00:32:32.27\00:32:34.43 May be you like soda better, 00:32:34.46\00:32:35.43 but she ask for water, that's it, 00:32:35.45\00:32:37.14 so you bring her water, that's it, yeah. 00:32:37.17\00:32:38.82 I often tell the story, you know the old tie 00:32:39.17\00:32:43.16 Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree, 00:32:43.19\00:32:44.92 and in that song there was a story about a 00:32:45.28\00:32:47.01 solider coming home from the war and he wondered 00:32:47.04\00:32:49.32 if his girl was still interested, yeah 00:32:49.35\00:32:50.98 and he is too nervous to go knock on the door 00:32:51.28\00:32:52.72 in case he finds some other guys, 00:32:52.75\00:32:53.86 but the train goes right past through house, 00:32:53.89\00:32:55.47 pretty yellow ribbon and that tree, 00:32:55.50\00:32:56.59 if she still love me. He goes by and 00:32:56.62\00:32:58.97 everybody knows the story there is 100s of 00:32:59.00\00:33:01.05 yellow ribbons sure, what if she read 00:33:01.08\00:33:03.30 his letter and said alright you know 00:33:03.33\00:33:04.52 what I can go all the way downtown with 00:33:04.55\00:33:05.80 yellow ribbon and it's a long way up that 00:33:05.83\00:33:08.63 oak tree and I can get hurt 00:33:08.66\00:33:10.55 so I got this black old sock, 00:33:10.58\00:33:12.14 I am gonna tie that on the end of the lilac bush. 00:33:12.17\00:33:15.15 Now the train is gonna shoot right 00:33:15.47\00:33:16.64 by wrong symbol, yeah, yeah. 00:33:16.67\00:33:18.53 Don't mess with the symbol. 00:33:18.56\00:33:19.53 Don't mess with the symbol. 00:33:19.54\00:33:21.42 God's got a lesson. He has got a lesson 00:33:21.45\00:33:24.24 in there and here we have a whole world 00:33:24.27\00:33:26.10 that is saying we came from somewhere other 00:33:26.87\00:33:28.94 than the Creator and it is a last day issue, 00:33:28.97\00:33:32.17 take a look around, yeah. 00:33:32.20\00:33:33.17 Our ancestors didn't deal with this like 00:33:33.18\00:33:35.02 we did and being told we came from this ape 00:33:35.05\00:33:37.28 and that ape, this family of Lemurs, 00:33:37.31\00:33:39.26 and God says hey once a week 00:33:39.96\00:33:42.82 you ever noticed seven day week folks. 00:33:42.85\00:33:45.08 It's still there and I am still your creator 00:33:45.11\00:33:48.04 and I am still here and you can still come home, 00:33:48.07\00:33:49.87 yeah and God's people in the last days, 00:33:49.90\00:33:51.70 this boy was done to an issue, 00:33:51.73\00:33:52.84 seems insignificant to us but it isn't to God, yeah. 00:33:53.49\00:33:56.02 Father's name in the forehead. 00:33:56.67\00:33:57.98 I am standing on God's laws because it says 00:33:58.01\00:34:00.02 He is a God of love and I buy it and 00:34:00.05\00:34:01.48 I am living that way, yes, or the falsehood. 00:34:01.51\00:34:04.31 James Cardinal Gibbons says something 00:34:05.03\00:34:06.73 really interesting about the history 00:34:06.76\00:34:08.92 of our Christian faith. We have to own this. 00:34:08.95\00:34:11.65 We as Christians changed that. 00:34:12.04\00:34:13.57 The Bible said we would be lawless and here we 00:34:13.60\00:34:15.68 went ahead and changed the day of worship. 00:34:15.71\00:34:17.28 We've no biblical justifications, 00:34:17.56\00:34:19.00 about time we just own it and go do what God says, 00:34:19.03\00:34:21.85 precisely, yeah. He says the Church claims that 00:34:21.88\00:34:24.41 the change of the day of worship was her act 00:34:24.44\00:34:26.55 He said and that act is a mark of her 00:34:26.58\00:34:28.87 power and authority in religious matters. 00:34:28.90\00:34:31.08 What do we say? We say wait a minute. 00:34:31.11\00:34:33.26 We are not gonna keep the Sabbath because 00:34:34.14\00:34:37.89 we are higher than that we can change it. 00:34:37.92\00:34:40.20 As a matter of fact, Daniel Chapter 7 00:34:40.60\00:34:42.06 said they will become a power in the last days 00:34:42.09\00:34:43.78 that thinks that they can change 00:34:43.81\00:34:45.00 God's times and laws, and laws yeah. 00:34:45.03\00:34:47.46 What law deals with time? Sabbath, Sabbath, 00:34:47.65\00:34:50.55 Sabbath, Sunday is a mark of authority. 00:34:50.58\00:34:53.01 I found article 1923 the Church just openly 00:34:53.40\00:34:56.20 saying it the Church is above the Bible 00:34:56.23\00:34:58.44 and the transfer of the Sabbath 00:34:58.47\00:34:59.65 observant has proven that fact. 00:34:59.68\00:35:01.22 Wait a minute, yeah that's pretty bold statement, 00:35:02.25\00:35:04.37 man puts from shelf on the throne in 00:35:04.40\00:35:06.19 second testimonial chapter 2 saying I am like God. 00:35:06.22\00:35:08.74 Wait a minute, where did we get this idea, 00:35:09.81\00:35:11.66 yeah what's the mark. Now here is what the 00:35:11.69\00:35:14.06 interesting. It says it gonna come to our crisis. 00:35:14.09\00:35:17.48 It says it's gonna come to our head. 00:35:18.30\00:35:19.69 We are not gonna prognosticate. 00:35:19.72\00:35:21.60 We are not gonna try and use 00:35:21.63\00:35:22.60 prophecy like a crystal ball. 00:35:22.61\00:35:23.80 I just want everybody to be aware and watch 00:35:24.11\00:35:26.14 so that when these things come to pass is I believe. 00:35:26.17\00:35:29.23 Just watch what's going on. 00:35:29.83\00:35:31.03 In the late 1880's there was a push in 00:35:31.43\00:35:34.57 United States for a law mandating that 00:35:34.60\00:35:38.13 everybody must keep the first day of the week 00:35:38.16\00:35:40.14 if they didn't go to church at least 00:35:40.30\00:35:41.47 they couldn't work that sacred. 00:35:41.50\00:35:43.06 It really didn't come to pass, but all of a sudden 00:35:43.39\00:35:47.22 in recent history I have noticed that 00:35:47.25\00:35:49.78 there is push like this again. 00:35:49.81\00:35:51.31 Now I grew up going to Church 00:35:51.34\00:35:54.17 on the first day of the week. 00:35:54.20\00:35:55.17 My parents on the first day of the week 00:35:55.56\00:35:57.22 worship God with all their heart and God love 00:35:57.25\00:35:59.51 them and love my grandparents 00:35:59.54\00:36:02.04 and great grandparents, it's not the point. 00:36:02.07\00:36:03.78 Often if you don't know any different, 00:36:05.31\00:36:06.74 the Bible says God winks at him. Sure. 00:36:06.77\00:36:08.22 But now when you know Acts chapter 17, 00:36:08.25\00:36:10.00 commands us to repent. We need to have 00:36:10.77\00:36:13.93 our eyes open and watch what's going on 00:36:13.96\00:36:15.94 and ask God's love. When I see this happening 00:36:15.97\00:36:17.90 and I see prophecy fulfilling that means 00:36:17.93\00:36:20.43 Jesus is coming and it will come to a Christ, 00:36:20.46\00:36:22.46 so we should be watching for this rising. 00:36:22.49\00:36:24.89 If God's mark on our lives is His character, 00:36:26.23\00:36:30.52 His name, His law, and it focuses in on that 00:36:30.55\00:36:33.45 one law nobody keeps and that becomes a 00:36:33.48\00:36:35.93 focal point and one side holds out one day saying 00:36:35.96\00:36:39.42 I worship these way, in anyway, or the other side 00:36:39.45\00:36:42.85 says worship him who made Revelation 14, yes. 00:36:42.88\00:36:46.04 Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, 00:36:46.07\00:36:48.09 it's wording from the Fourth Commandment. 00:36:48.12\00:36:49.81 We should expect to see a tide rising 00:36:50.96\00:36:53.47 pushing for Sunday laws. 00:36:53.50\00:36:55.22 Now somebody wants to worship on Sunday. 00:36:55.25\00:36:57.55 I don't have an argument with them 00:36:58.99\00:37:00.85 other than go check what the words says, yes. 00:37:00.88\00:37:03.02 And you deal with God. It's not between 00:37:03.05\00:37:04.68 you and me or you or any preacher, 00:37:04.71\00:37:06.26 between you and God and you follow 00:37:06.29\00:37:08.46 your conscious best you know how. 00:37:08.49\00:37:09.90 I am not gonna argue with that. 00:37:09.93\00:37:11.19 I will argue when people pass a law requiring 00:37:11.70\00:37:15.39 those who don't believe it to worship on Sunday. 00:37:15.42\00:37:17.89 Yeah that you have put in a whole other place. 00:37:17.92\00:37:19.87 God doesn't force you. God doesn't force anybody. 00:37:19.90\00:37:23.43 The devil uses force. We have seen that. 00:37:23.46\00:37:25.62 He is the one who uses force. 00:37:25.65\00:37:26.88 Now here is what I am finding very interesting. 00:37:26.91\00:37:29.66 I am doing a little gathering of data over 00:37:29.69\00:37:33.44 the last few years and when I started studying 00:37:33.47\00:37:36.36 this stuff there wasn't much evidence that 00:37:36.39\00:37:37.91 this was actually going to happen anytime soon, 00:37:37.94\00:37:41.78 but then about ten years ago right around 1998 00:37:42.20\00:37:45.74 some things start to happening and Encyclical 00:37:45.77\00:37:48.99 comes out of the city of Rome, now why we are 00:37:49.02\00:37:51.87 looking at our Christianity because Bible 00:37:51.90\00:37:54.26 says look inside the Church, inside surely 00:37:54.29\00:37:56.00 yeah, so just look at ourselves. 00:37:56.03\00:37:57.13 Let's be honest about when we have a problem 00:37:57.65\00:37:59.93 as Christian let's be honest about. 00:37:59.96\00:38:01.10 John Paul II, very nice guy. 00:38:01.76\00:38:04.70 He travels the world, he builds a lot of goodwill, 00:38:05.92\00:38:08.18 but in 1998 he issues a letter. 00:38:08.21\00:38:11.02 It's known as Encyclical. There are three kinds of 00:38:11.05\00:38:13.10 communications come out of Rome, breve, 00:38:13.13\00:38:14.54 little like a memo, and Encyclical is usually a 00:38:14.57\00:38:18.73 lengthy thing dealing with doctrine and this was 00:38:18.76\00:38:22.48 a very lengthy document dealing with the 00:38:22.51\00:38:25.20 first day of the week and trying to say 00:38:25.23\00:38:26.96 why we do it but never really coming up 00:38:26.99\00:38:28.98 with the Bible reason. Section 67 this is still 00:38:29.01\00:38:32.10 posted at the Vatican's website, says 00:38:32.36\00:38:35.25 Christians will naturally strive to ensure that 00:38:35.28\00:38:37.65 "civil legislation" respects their duty 00:38:37.68\00:38:39.68 to keep Sunday holy. Wait a minute, yeah 00:38:39.71\00:38:43.53 I will work it out. Yeah. First of all if Sunday 00:38:44.18\00:38:47.48 were the Seventh Day God wouldn't force 00:38:47.51\00:38:50.27 it on the world with the law anymore than 00:38:50.30\00:38:51.78 He forced Adam and Eve to stay in Eden, 00:38:51.81\00:38:54.37 doesn't work that way. We can't force. 00:38:55.14\00:38:57.73 I can pass all the laws I want, but 00:38:57.76\00:38:59.74 I'm not gonna make any Christians, right, right. 00:38:59.77\00:39:01.85 The legislation all, that having from the 00:39:02.51\00:39:03.54 outside end, no. I'm gonna legislate murder. 00:39:03.57\00:39:05.46 I'm gonna legislate all those last table of 00:39:05.49\00:39:07.73 Commandments because I don't wanna be murdered, 00:39:07.76\00:39:09.18 you don't wanna be. We gonna stop people 00:39:09.21\00:39:10.61 there but when it comes to someone's relationship 00:39:10.64\00:39:12.74 with God you can legislate all you want but 00:39:12.77\00:39:14.79 unless they put the character of God in their 00:39:14.82\00:39:16.38 own heart and mind it's fake, yeah. 00:39:16.41\00:39:19.27 It doesn't help him get to heaven. 00:39:19.56\00:39:20.76 So what are we doing passing laws like these, 00:39:21.48\00:39:24.24 1998 or pushing forward, interested. 00:39:24.27\00:39:27.44 That same year they pushed or they reaffirmed 00:39:28.17\00:39:32.43 the sacred congregation, the supreme sacred 00:39:32.88\00:39:35.02 congregation of Roman or the doctrine of faith. 00:39:35.05\00:39:37.87 I got it wrong.

We are not trying 00:48:43.39\00:48:44.77 to do any of that. Christians have made 00:48:44.80\00:48:46.14 fools of themselves, many times by doing that. 00:48:46.17\00:48:48.10 But you know Christians who have understood 00:48:48.78\00:48:50.36 the broad pattern of Revelation 13 and 14 00:48:50.74\00:48:53.75 have been saying this for over a 100 years, 00:48:53.78\00:48:55.57 have been saying watch, it's gonna come one day 00:48:55.98\00:48:57.85 they will be pushes for Sunday laws. Is this it? 00:48:57.88\00:49:00.80 This is the home stretch or we headed for 00:49:00.83\00:49:02.35 Revelation you know 13, 17, 18, 00:49:02.38\00:49:04.67 are we headed there, is this it. 00:49:04.70\00:49:06.41 I don't know but God says watch it when you see it, 00:49:06.72\00:49:10.52 yeah, pay attention, yeah, it could be a value 00:49:10.55\00:49:13.22 because I don't know the day or the hour, 00:49:13.25\00:49:15.00 it's not for you to know the time of the season 00:49:15.03\00:49:16.68 Jesus said, right. But God gives us the 00:49:16.71\00:49:20.50 blinking light on the horizon, yes, 00:49:20.53\00:49:21.98 watch when it comes now you know. Yeah. 00:49:22.01\00:49:23.91 Now the question is, it's not just information, 00:49:23.94\00:49:26.35 the question is only two camps get pass that 00:49:26.38\00:49:28.65 blinking light and you got to end up in 13 or 14 00:49:28.68\00:49:31.45 and that character doesn't show up in the crisis. 00:49:32.05\00:49:34.45 God doesn't write his name in your forehead 00:49:35.40\00:49:36.79 during the crisis, yeah, and the beast doesn't 00:49:36.82\00:49:38.48 write his name in your forehead during the crisis 00:49:38.51\00:49:40.44 that gets written there ahead of time. 00:49:40.84\00:49:43.71 You have noticed in Revelation 13 00:49:43.74\00:49:45.01 by the way it's not just mark of the beast 00:49:45.04\00:49:46.96 or a number. It's the name of the beast. 00:49:46.99\00:49:49.14 It says the name the character. 00:49:49.17\00:49:50.69 They are mere images, yeah, the time to decide 00:49:51.09\00:49:54.79 is today, yes, yes. Crisis doesn't show, 00:49:55.60\00:49:59.28 it doesn't build character, 00:49:59.31\00:50:01.72 it reveals a Church. I know when I lose 00:50:01.75\00:50:03.91 my temper the real me comes out. 00:50:03.94\00:50:06.06 And in the crisis, the real you comes out and 00:50:06.87\00:50:09.70 God says it's does the whole point of 00:50:10.44\00:50:12.40 Revelation 14, worship him who made, yeah, 00:50:12.43\00:50:16.07 this people are standing with the lamb and saying 00:50:16.45\00:50:18.02 come to Jesus and I have asked all over the world 00:50:18.05\00:50:21.88 and I want people tonight to think about it again. 00:50:22.67\00:50:25.04 How many invitations do we need? 00:50:25.71\00:50:27.28 It's too simple to come to Jesus, wait a minute 00:50:27.92\00:50:30.27 Jesus said, I've died for you, yes, 00:50:30.30\00:50:32.60 I will take care of that do you believe my word, 00:50:32.63\00:50:35.40 the devil saying hey didn't God really say 00:50:35.67\00:50:38.02 he'll forgive you.

You believe it. 00:50:41.52\00:50:43.24 God said I could never live a Christian life. 00:50:43.82\00:50:46.48 Yeah God says you could be a new creature. 00:50:46.79\00:50:48.59 Devil whispers did God really say that? 00:50:48.62\00:50:51.14 Did he really say that? Yes he did, go stand on 00:50:51.90\00:50:54.24 the mountain with the lamb. You let him write 00:50:54.27\00:50:56.06 his name in your forehead, 00:50:56.09\00:50:57.12 yeah and I don't care what you have done tonight, 00:50:57.15\00:50:58.70 I don't care where you living, 00:50:58.73\00:51:00.38 what your history is, or how shall you think 00:51:00.41\00:51:03.04 your faith is, right now Jesus says look 00:51:03.07\00:51:05.21 these warning are because I want you and 00:51:05.77\00:51:08.11 I want you home and I do anything to get you 00:51:08.14\00:51:10.26 in my Kingdom, yeah, yeah, yeah, anything. 00:51:10.29\00:51:12.24 That's powerful and not something to 00:51:12.27\00:51:14.93 frighten you, but it's really something Shawn 00:51:14.96\00:51:17.81 to encourage you to make you feel real good 00:51:17.84\00:51:20.67 about the God who was calling you. 00:51:20.70\00:51:22.35 You know when you get there if you confess 00:51:22.70\00:51:24.97 your sins first time you know and 00:51:25.00\00:51:25.99 He takes very well. His faith will just to 00:51:26.02\00:51:27.98 forgive and to cleanse, not to leave you where 00:51:28.01\00:51:30.22 you are but to cleanse you and write that name 00:51:30.25\00:51:32.77 in your, I feel so sad for those who reject God 00:51:32.80\00:51:36.44 out of him without ever giving him 00:51:36.47\00:51:38.05 a try because they simply don't know what 00:51:38.08\00:51:39.73 they are missing, that's it, yeah, that's it. 00:51:39.76\00:51:41.93 I get it. I have been there. 00:51:42.25\00:51:43.58 I have been wondering, yeah it's really safe to 00:51:43.61\00:51:45.32 come to God. Let me say tonight it really is. 00:51:45.35\00:51:47.97 Yeah, yeah.

Those are words that we really 00:55:15.21\00:55:18.16 have to take to heart and one of things 00:55:18.19\00:55:20.11 that we have established tonight is that 00:55:20.14\00:55:21.51 whenever you go to God, you find the same God, 00:55:21.54\00:55:24.46 the same loving God, the same accepting God, 00:55:24.89\00:55:27.46 when God try to reveal Himself, He didn't reveal 00:55:27.49\00:55:31.33 a name as you have so adequately and 00:55:31.36\00:55:33.24 eloquently said, He revealed a character, 00:55:33.27\00:55:35.45 a loving character, a caring character, 00:55:35.48\00:55:37.61 a forgiving character, an accepting character, 00:55:37.64\00:55:40.31 a gracious character. He assured the old man 00:55:40.34\00:55:43.01 what is good and what does the Lord require 00:55:43.04\00:55:45.23 that you might say, but to do justly, 00:55:45.26\00:55:46.96 love mercy and walk humbly with thy God 00:55:47.27\00:55:51.01 and whenever you go to God, 00:55:51.33\00:55:52.85 regardless of that condition you are in, 00:55:53.46\00:55:55.13 regardless how many times you sin, 00:55:55.16\00:55:56.71 regardless of what you have done, 00:55:57.14\00:55:58.43 Christ has seen it all and nothing surprises him. 00:55:58.46\00:56:00.59 He is ready, willing, and so very much able 00:56:00.87\00:56:04.12 to accept you. He wants you home with him, 00:56:04.15\00:56:08.29 and if there is one thing that we have proven 00:56:08.61\00:56:10.11 this night it is this fact that time is short. 00:56:10.14\00:56:13.03 Shawn you are with me that time is running out. 00:56:13.66\00:56:15.41 Awfully short.
