" 00:06:46.50\00:06:47.84 Audience: Amen. 00:06:47.87\00:06:49.20 Our final message is entitled, "The Final Message. " 00:06:49.24\00:06:57.58 Revelation 14 verse 6, 00:06:57.61\00:07:03.89 is the foundation of The Final Message. 00:07:03.92\00:07:08.99 John the Revelator tells us the following words, 00:07:09.02\00:07:17.10 "Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, 00:07:17.13\00:07:24.51 having the everlasting gospel 00:07:24.54\00:07:26.17 to preach to those who dwell on the earth... 00:07:26.21\00:07:33.08 to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. " 00:07:33.11\00:07:39.95 Let me begin with a story. 00:07:39.99\00:07:43.93 The longest, most meaningless movie in the world 00:07:43.96\00:07:47.40 was created in the United Kingdom. 00:07:47.43\00:07:49.86 In Russian... 00:07:49.90\00:07:58.97 The movie was 48 hours long and a seven-hour trailer. 00:07:59.01\00:08:04.48 In Russian... 00:08:04.51\00:08:11.79 Why would anyone need a seven-hour trailer? 00:08:11.82\00:08:20.96 The movie had no script. 00:08:21.00\00:08:24.23 It was made of footage 00:08:24.27\00:08:27.44 that was too worthless to make an actual movie. 00:08:27.47\00:08:30.21 In Russian... 00:08:30.24\00:08:40.68 It was made of commercials and discarded movie footage. 00:08:40.72\00:08:44.12 In Russian... 00:08:44.15\00:08:50.73 However, people paid to sit for 48 hours to watch the movie. 00:08:50.76\00:08:54.86 In Russian... 00:08:54.90\00:09:02.04 For two days uninterrupted people sat and watched 00:09:02.07\00:09:06.27 a meaningless movie... 00:09:06.31\00:09:15.65 it is still the longest film ever made. 00:09:15.68\00:09:23.53 It was not the content that made the movie famous, 00:09:23.56\00:09:31.27 it was the duration. 00:09:31.30\00:09:34.07 It's all about the duration. 00:09:34.10\00:09:39.87 No matter how entertaining a movie may be 00:09:39.91\00:09:42.61 the question is, "When will it end?" 00:09:42.64\00:09:45.31 In Russian... 00:09:45.35\00:09:52.55 It's all about the duration. 00:09:52.59\00:09:56.52 In a world where the Bible is being minimized, 00:09:56.56\00:09:59.19 the question is, "When is it going to end?" 00:09:59.26\00:10:01.86 In Russian... 00:10:01.90\00:10:07.64 In a world where Atheists deny the imminent return of Jesus, 00:10:07.70\00:10:10.74 the question is, "When is it going to end?" 00:10:10.77\00:10:20.32 In a world where political correctness has replaced 00:10:20.35\00:10:23.35 the power of preaching, 00:10:23.39\00:10:24.82 the question is, "When is it going to end?" 00:10:24.85\00:10:27.06 In Russian... 00:10:27.09\00:10:35.30 The time has come for the most relevant message of the ages. 00:10:35.36\00:10:44.47 The climate is right for the most urgent message of the hour 00:10:44.51\00:10:53.62 and the last day's call 00:10:53.65\00:10:55.35 for the re-introduction of heaven's message. 00:10:55.38\00:10:58.45 In Russian... 00:10:58.49\00:11:07.86 We are called Three Angels Broadcasting 00:11:07.90\00:11:10.77 because we stand on the three angels' messages. 00:11:10.80\00:11:14.14 In Russian... 00:11:14.17\00:11:21.61 The three angels' message rips the blanket from complacency 00:11:21.64\00:11:26.05 in Russian... 00:11:26.11\00:11:30.85 and demands us to look at the issues again. 00:11:30.89\00:11:33.69 In Russian... 00:11:33.72\00:11:39.89 The three angels messages reminds us 00:11:39.93\00:11:42.70 that this long and meaningless world is soon to come to an end. 00:11:42.73\00:11:46.63 In Russian... 00:11:46.67\00:11:54.64 By proclaiming the message of the three angels, 00:11:54.68\00:11:57.38 we won't forget who we are. 00:11:57.41\00:11:59.68 In Russian... 00:11:59.71\00:12:04.59 It is too late to blend into the marketplace 00:12:04.62\00:12:07.29 of meaningless Christianity, 00:12:07.32\00:12:08.96 in Russian... 00:12:08.99\00:12:19.40 if we follow the temple of Bible prophecy, 00:12:19.43\00:12:21.77 we discover the following things. 00:12:21.80\00:12:23.37 In Russian... 00:12:23.41\00:12:28.51 In every age, God has called for those to break away 00:12:28.54\00:12:31.65 from meaningless theology. 00:12:31.68\00:12:33.42 In Russian... 00:12:33.45\00:12:43.39 Noah was chosen to warn the world of a coming flood. 00:12:43.43\00:12:51.33 Lot was chosen to warn 00:12:51.37\00:12:53.13 of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. 00:12:53.17\00:12:55.24 In Russian... 00:12:55.30\00:12:59.54 Moses was chosen to focus on a Canaan-like message 00:12:59.57\00:13:03.61 in Russian... 00:13:03.65\00:13:09.75 and John the Baptist was chosen 00:13:09.78\00:13:11.55 to preach the first advent of Christ. 00:13:11.59\00:13:16.32 As Seventh-day Adventists, we are given 00:13:16.36\00:13:21.00 the message of priority to preach the coming of Jesus. 00:13:21.06\00:13:24.53 In Russian... 00:13:24.57\00:13:31.84 We ought to pay attention to the proclaiming message 00:13:31.87\00:13:33.98 of Jesus. 00:13:34.01\00:13:38.98 Notice these words in Matthew chapter 24 00:13:39.01\00:13:40.98 beginning with verse 6, 00:13:41.02\00:13:42.35 in Russian... 00:13:42.38\00:13:50.13 Jesus said, "You'll hear of wars and rumors of wars. 00:13:50.19\00:13:56.80 See that you are not troubled, 00:13:56.83\00:13:59.87 for all these things must come to pass 00:13:59.90\00:14:04.67 but the end is not yet. 00:14:04.74\00:14:07.34 Notice what else he says. 00:14:07.38\00:14:09.88 "For nation will rise against nation 00:14:09.94\00:14:13.82 and kingdom against kingdom 00:14:13.85\00:14:16.48 and there will be famines. 00:14:16.52\00:14:19.09 pestilences, 00:14:19.12\00:14:21.46 and earthquakes in various places. 00:14:21.49\00:14:25.13 Just a couple of weeks ago, 00:14:25.16\00:14:28.56 there were 1,500 earthquakes 00:14:28.60\00:14:31.93 in a matter of 24 hours in California. 00:14:31.97\00:14:34.67 In Russian... 00:14:34.70\00:14:43.04 Now, war and famine and earthquake are signs of the end 00:14:43.08\00:14:51.92 but these are only the beginning of sorrow. 00:14:51.95\00:14:57.13 You see, when we follow the Bible, 00:14:57.16\00:14:59.46 we proclaim the message with clarity 00:14:59.49\00:15:01.76 In Russian... 00:15:01.80\00:15:06.84 and the Apostle Paul says, 00:15:06.87\00:15:08.20 "If the trumpet does not give a certain sound, 00:15:08.24\00:15:10.87 who will be ready?" 00:15:10.91\00:15:12.31 In Russian... 00:15:12.34\00:15:19.31 We are committed to an end-times message. 00:15:19.35\00:15:24.99 The three angels messages are not preparing us 00:15:25.05\00:15:27.12 for the final picnic of the ages 00:15:27.16\00:15:28.82 In Russian... 00:15:28.86\00:15:33.06 nor the final excursion of the ages. 00:15:33.09\00:15:38.73 It is preparing us for the final battle of the ages 00:15:38.77\00:15:45.64 and once again, Revelation describes the stage. 00:15:45.67\00:15:52.51 Revelation 16 verse 13 and 14, 00:15:52.55\00:15:59.85 John says, "I saw three unclean spirits like frogs 00:15:59.89\00:16:09.76 coming out of the mouth of the dragon, 00:16:09.80\00:16:13.84 out of the mouth of the beast, 00:16:13.87\00:16:16.10 and out of the mouth of the false prophet. " 00:16:16.14\00:16:20.11 But listen carefully, 00:16:20.14\00:16:22.31 "For they are the spirits of demons... " 00:16:22.34\00:16:24.91 the Bible says, 00:16:24.98\00:16:28.82 As we sit here today, 00:16:28.85\00:16:32.55 demons are operating around the world 00:16:32.59\00:16:39.79 to get the world ready for the final battle. 00:16:39.83\00:16:45.57 They are not preparing for a battle of victory, 00:16:45.60\00:16:51.31 because they know they cannot win. 00:16:51.34\00:16:55.14 Jesus has already won. 00:16:55.18\00:16:57.85 Can you say, "Amen. " 00:16:57.88\00:16:59.88 But the Bible says, 00:16:59.91\00:17:01.82 "They are going to the kings of the earth 00:17:01.85\00:17:04.65 and the whole world 00:17:04.69\00:17:06.02 in Russian... 00:17:06.05\00:17:10.53 "to gather them to the battle 00:17:10.56\00:17:12.16 of that great day of God almighty.
