" 06:47 Audience: Amen. 06:49 Our final message is entitled, "The Final Message. " 06:57 Revelation 14 verse 6, 07:03 is the foundation of The Final Message. 07:09 John the Revelator tells us the following words, 07:17 "Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, 07:24 having the everlasting gospel 07:26 to preach to those who dwell on the earth... 07:33 to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. " 07:39 Let me begin with a story. 07:43 The longest, most meaningless movie in the world 07:47 was created in the United Kingdom. 07:49 In Russian... 07:59 The movie was 48 hours long and a seven-hour trailer. 08:04 In Russian... 08:11 Why would anyone need a seven-hour trailer? 08:21 The movie had no script. 08:24 It was made of footage 08:27 that was too worthless to make an actual movie. 08:30 In Russian... 08:40 It was made of commercials and discarded movie footage. 08:44 In Russian... 08:50 However, people paid to sit for 48 hours to watch the movie. 08:54 In Russian... 09:02 For two days uninterrupted people sat and watched 09:06 a meaningless movie... 09:15 it is still the longest film ever made. 09:23 It was not the content that made the movie famous, 09:31 it was the duration. 09:34 It's all about the duration. 09:39 No matter how entertaining a movie may be 09:42 the question is, "When will it end?" 09:45 In Russian... 09:52 It's all about the duration. 09:56 In a world where the Bible is being minimized, 09:59 the question is, "When is it going to end?" 10:01 In Russian... 10:07 In a world where Atheists deny the imminent return of Jesus, 10:10 the question is, "When is it going to end?" 10:20 In a world where political correctness has replaced 10:23 the power of preaching, 10:24 the question is, "When is it going to end?" 10:27 In Russian... 10:35 The time has come for the most relevant message of the ages. 10:44 The climate is right for the most urgent message of the hour 10:53 and the last day's call 10:55 for the re-introduction of heaven's message. 10:58 In Russian... 11:07 We are called Three Angels Broadcasting 11:10 because we stand on the three angels' messages. 11:14 In Russian... 11:21 The three angels' message rips the blanket from complacency 11:26 in Russian... 11:30 and demands us to look at the issues again. 11:33 In Russian... 11:39 The three angels messages reminds us 11:42 that this long and meaningless world is soon to come to an end. 11:46 In Russian... 11:54 By proclaiming the message of the three angels, 11:57 we won't forget who we are. 11:59 In Russian... 12:04 It is too late to blend into the marketplace 12:07 of meaningless Christianity, 12:08 in Russian... 12:19 if we follow the temple of Bible prophecy, 12:21 we discover the following things. 12:23 In Russian... 12:28 In every age, God has called for those to break away 12:31 from meaningless theology. 12:33 In Russian... 12:43 Noah was chosen to warn the world of a coming flood. 12:51 Lot was chosen to warn 12:53 of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. 12:55 In Russian... 12:59 Moses was chosen to focus on a Canaan-like message 13:03 in Russian... 13:09 and John the Baptist was chosen 13:11 to preach the first advent of Christ. 13:16 As Seventh-day Adventists, we are given 13:21 the message of priority to preach the coming of Jesus. 13:24 In Russian... 13:31 We ought to pay attention to the proclaiming message 13:34 of Jesus. 13:39 Notice these words in Matthew chapter 24 13:41 beginning with verse 6, 13:42 in Russian... 13:50 Jesus said, "You'll hear of wars and rumors of wars. 13:56 See that you are not troubled, 13:59 for all these things must come to pass 14:04 but the end is not yet. 14:07 Notice what else he says. 14:09 "For nation will rise against nation 14:13 and kingdom against kingdom 14:16 and there will be famines. 14:19 pestilences, 14:21 and earthquakes in various places. 14:25 Just a couple of weeks ago, 14:28 there were 1,500 earthquakes 14:31 in a matter of 24 hours in California. 14:34 In Russian... 14:43 Now, war and famine and earthquake are signs of the end 14:51 but these are only the beginning of sorrow. 14:57 You see, when we follow the Bible, 14:59 we proclaim the message with clarity 15:01 In Russian... 15:06 and the Apostle Paul says, 15:08 "If the trumpet does not give a certain sound, 15:10 who will be ready?" 15:12 In Russian... 15:19 We are committed to an end-times message. 15:25 The three angels messages are not preparing us 15:27 for the final picnic of the ages 15:28 In Russian... 15:33 nor the final excursion of the ages. 15:38 It is preparing us for the final battle of the ages 15:45 and once again, Revelation describes the stage. 15:52 Revelation 16 verse 13 and 14, 15:59 John says, "I saw three unclean spirits like frogs 16:09 coming out of the mouth of the dragon, 16:13 out of the mouth of the beast, 16:16 and out of the mouth of the false prophet. " 16:20 But listen carefully, 16:22 "For they are the spirits of demons... " 16:24 the Bible says, 16:28 As we sit here today, 16:32 demons are operating around the world 16:39 to get the world ready for the final battle. 16:45 They are not preparing for a battle of victory, 16:51 because they know they cannot win. 16:55 Jesus has already won. 16:57 Can you say, "Amen. " 16:59 But the Bible says, 17:01 "They are going to the kings of the earth 17:04 and the whole world 17:06 in Russian... 17:10 "to gather them to the battle 17:12 of that great day of God almighty. " 17:19 My Brothers and Sisters, the final stage is being set. 17:28 We live in America where many of these signs are being fulfilled. 17:36 Revelation chapter 13 does not apply to Russia. 17:46 It applies with particular clarity 17:48 to Rome and the United States. 17:50 In Russian... 17:57 The first and second beast of Revelation 13 18:00 are preparing to merge in the United States. 18:03 In Russian... 18:11 Catholics and Evangelicals in the United States 18:14 are merging quickly 18:23 and many of these leaders say 18:25 they have more in common with Rome than anything else. 18:28 In Russian... 18:35 They say they have more in common than what separates them 18:38 in Russian... 18:43 and in America, politics and religion 18:46 are merging together rapidly. 18:47 In Russian... 18:51 If you remember, in Jesus' day, 18:57 when politics met religion 19:01 Jesus was crucified... 19:05 when politics and religion merged, 19:10 Christians were persecuted. 19:14 When politics and religion merged... 19:19 many of you may not know, 19:24 but Hitler admired the Popes 19:29 and he patterned his persecuting engine 19:31 after the popes of the Dark Ages. 19:33 In Russian... 19:43 While the hour is dark, it is also exciting 19:52 but we must be very careful 19:55 God has called us to be a people that are awake to the time. 19:59 In Russian... 20:05 Sermons are not just to be social issues 20:07 but they must address eternal issues. 20:10 In Russian... 20:18 Modern preaching should not sidestep Bible prophecy. 20:28 Jesus said... the gospel is designed 20:30 to address the greater issues. 20:32 In Russian... 20:39 the commission He gave to His disciples, He also gives to us. 20:47 In Matthew 10 and verse 7, listen to the words of Christ. 20:54 Jesus said, "As you go... preach... saying... 21:00 'the kingdom of heaven is at hand. '" 21:04 The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 21:09 I'll say it one more time, the kingdom of heaven is at hand 21:15 amen. 21:17 If Jesus said that 2,000 years ago, 21:20 how much more of a reality is it today? 21:23 In Russian... 21:31 the urgent message to the disciples 21:34 is an urgent message to us. 21:37 In Russian. 21:41 Matthew 24 verse 44, listen to the words of Jesus, 21:51 you see, the world does not know that Jesus is coming soon. 21:58 The world is asleep... 22:01 and we are called to wake them up. 22:05 The world is not even aware of the coming of the Lord 22:12 in Russian... 22:14 but we are called to proclaim a message to awaken them 22:21 and the reason is clear 22:22 for Jesus said, 22:25 "For the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect... " 22:31 but 3ABN Russia and 3ABN America has chosen the responsibility 22:38 to proclaim the message to wake up the world. 22:41 In Russian... 22:49 It is too late to rejoice in our present successes. 22:58 We can thank the Lord for what He has done 23:03 but there's more to be done. 23:06 This building has been built 23:09 so that the kingdom of God can also be built. 23:15 Every day that we awake... 23:18 we must do something to advance the kingdom of God 23:24 because one day, Jesus will come when we least expect it 23:32 but the Lord has not left us in darkness. 23:36 When we see the signs, we must pay attention to the signs. 23:43 The Apostle Paul told the church in Thessalonica 23:45 these following words, 23:51 1st Thessalonians chapter 5 verses 1 and 2, 23:58 he said, "Concerning the times and seasons, brethren, 24:01 you have no need that I should write to you. 24:07 For you yourselves know perfectly 24:09 that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. " 24:17 We know when it's summer, 24:20 we know when it's winter, 24:22 we know when it's spring, 24:24 we know when it's fall, 24:26 when we see the signs outlaid by Jesus, 24:29 we must know the season of the world. 24:38 The church of Ephesus was given a sowing message 24:46 but we are given a reaping message. 24:52 Here are the messages of reaping, 24:55 The first angels message, 24:59 Revelation 14 verse 7, 25:04 I'm excited as we stand here tonight, 25:10 this message is going to every nation, every kindred, 25:13 every tongue and every people. 25:19 The Bible says, "Saying with a loud voice, 25:23 Revelation 14:7, 25:27 "Fear God and give glory to Him, 25:31 for the hour of His judgment has come; 25:35 and worship Him who made heaven and earth, 25:39 the sea and the springs of water. " 25:42 Notice, "Fear God and give Him glory. " 25:47 We are living in the hour where we are being judged 25:53 and we must call the world back to worshiping the true Creator 26:00 and what does it mean to give God glory? 26:05 1st Corinthians 10:31 says these words, 26:11 "Whether you therefore, eat or drink 26:13 or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. " 26:21 Your daily life must be lived to the glory of God. 26:28 Your decisions must be made for the glory of God. 26:34 The way that you live on a moment by moment basis 26:37 must be to the glory of God. 26:39 In Russian... 26:46 What does it mean, "the hour of His judgment has come?" 26:50 For those of us that have been given the wonderful message 26:53 that judgment begins with us, 27:00 what does it mean to worship the One 27:02 that made heaven and earth? 27:03 In Russian... 27:07 As we traveled through Nizhny Novgorod, 27:12 we saw wonderful churches and monasteries... 27:18 beautiful golden building... 27:22 but none of them... none of them moved me 27:25 as I was moved when I walked into a 27:28 Seventh-day Adventist Church. 27:29 In Russian... 27:34 Can you say, "Amen. " 27:35 Audience: Amen. 27:37 When I walked into a Seventh-day Adventist Church 27:39 yesterday... 27:43 I said to my wife, 27:44 "We've seen wonderful buildings in Nizhny Novgorod, 27:47 In Russian... 27:51 but his humble church is where the preaching of the truth 27:54 goes forth. " 28:03 We must call the world back to the right... the true Creator. 28:11 Whenever we keep the Sabbath, 28:12 we are pointing the world to the true Creator... 28:14 in Russian... 28:19 not to icons and images 28:24 but to the everlasting God. 28:27 Not to golden domes but to a golden character. 28:35 Can you say, "Amen. " 28:37 Audience: Amen. 28:38 And the second angel's message is as follows, 28:44 "Babylon is fallen... 28:46 false religion is fallen... " 28:51 it's just a matter of time 28:52 before the world understands that 28:54 but it has already fallen in the eyes of God 29:04 but the third angel's message is very humble, 29:10 listen to what it says, 29:12 we are warned against worshiping the beast and his image. 29:20 We are warned against worshiping anything that Rome endorses, 29:25 we must follow the Word of God 29:27 in Russian... 29:35 and as we follow God's Word, 29:36 people in Russia and the United States 29:38 would be gathered in. 29:39 In Russian... 29:48 All these messages culminate in Revelation chapter 18 29:58 and listen to what verse 4 and 5 says, 30:04 the Bible says, "And I heard another voice from heaven saying 30:09 'Come out of her my people. '" 30:12 The reason I know this message worked is because 30:15 you're sitting here today. 30:17 In Russian... 30:23 Many of you sitting here today heard the message and came out. 30:31 Brethren, they cannot come out until the message goes out. 30:39 When we send out the message faithfully, 30:42 people will come in faithfully 30:44 in Russian... 30:51 and God has said the world is filling up its iniquity 30:59 but there's good news in all of this. 31:03 Matthew 24 and verse 14, 31:09 "And this gospel of the kingdom 31:12 will be preached in all the world 31:14 in Russian... 31:19 for a witness unto all nations 31:23 and then the end will come. " 31:27 How many of you are looking forward for the end to come? 31:32 Amen... 31:34 Audience: Amen. 31:35 I'm looking forward to the end of sin and suffering... 31:41 one day the end of pain and death, 31:47 one day no more hospitals... no more funerals... 31:53 no more dying... no more heartache... 32:00 soon the longest, most meaningless drama of the ages 32:04 will come to an end 32:05 in Russian... 32:11 and very soon, the curtain will rise on the victory of the ages. 32:20 Very soon, the Rose of Sharon will bloom again. 32:26 The bright and Morning Star will rise again. 32:31 The Light of the word will shine again, 32:36 the oil of gladness will flow again, 32:41 the Lion of the tribe of Judah will roar again. 32:49 The Author of salvation 32:51 will become the finisher of our faith. 32:58 The mighty God will become the everlasting Father 33:04 and the Alpha will eternally become the Omega 33:11 but our responsibility is to proclaim this final message 33:19 and if we do our part faithfully... 33:23 if we are determined to follow Jesus moment by moment, 33:30 when the eternal victory is proclaimed, 33:36 it will be our joy in Russia and the United States 33:38 to hear these words 33:43 and I look forward to it. 33:46 "Well done 33:48 thou good 33:51 and faithful servant. " 33:53 May God bless you as you remain faithful 33:56 in this hour of the final message. 34:02 Amen. 34:04 Let us pray, 34:06 "Father, 34:08 keep us faithful, 34:10 strengthen our hearts, 34:13 may we trust Your Word, 34:16 fill us with Your power, 34:19 so that the world may know that Christ lives in us, 34:24 so that those in darkness will come to this everlasting light, 34:32 in Jesus' name I pray, 34:34 Amen. " 34:36 Pause... 34:45 Music... 34:56 Song in Russian... 38:30 Amen. 38:33 Audience: Clapping... 38:37 Thank you for that beautiful music. 38:46 Three ABN is the "Mending Broken People" network. 38:55 We get excited when people's lives are being changed 38:57 for eternity. 38:59 In Russian... 39:08 Today we have a story of someone's life who was changed 39:11 by the ministry of 3ABN. 39:21 I'm speaking of Pastor Sergey Titovskiy, 39:24 Executive Secretary of the Volga Vyalka Conference 39:28 in Russian... 39:36 tell us Pastor Sergey, what was your life like before Christ? 39:40 In Russian... 39:52 I would say that my heart was unstable... 39:56 I didn't feel comfortable... 39:57 I didn't feel fulfilled in this life. 40:00 In Russian... 40:02 I had very bad temperament. 40:05 In Russian... 40:07 and I did my best to try to change. 40:10 I did my best... 40:13 but my best results were that I was good 40:20 for not longer than two or three days 40:22 in Russian... 40:26 and in January 1993, 40:28 in Russian... 40:36 my mom invited me to the meetings 40:39 that were arranged by 3ABN 40:41 with Pastor John Carter as the preacher. 40:46 In Russian... 40:49 They took place in Lenin Palace of Cultural Nizhny Novgorod. 40:53 In Russian... 41:00 My mom had been baptized in 1992 41:03 at the program in which 3ABN also participated. 41:06 In Russian... 41:10 So, when the meetings took place in 1993, 41:14 again she wanted to come and listen 41:17 and she asked me to accompany her. 41:21 Jill: Did you want to go? 41:25 In Russian... 41:29 No, my first answer was a very strong "No" 41:32 In Russian... 41:34 I said, "Mom, if you are interested, 41:36 then, you go. 41:37 I'm not interested. " 41:41 In Russian... 41:44 And then, after she talked to me more, 41:47 I thought that I would go. 41:48 In Russian... 41:50 Ah, my plan was to sit in the corridor. 41:53 In Russian... 41:56 Wait till the meeting is over, then accompany my mom back home. 41:59 In Russian... 42:03 So, we came there and then I thought, 42:05 "Why sit in the corridor, I'm here anyway 42:07 let me sit in the balcony. " 42:09 In Russian... 42:12 And what I heard at those meetings, 42:14 in Russian... 42:18 when I saw the faces of those people who held those programs, 42:22 in Russian... 42:24 something was stirred in my heart 42:27 in Russian... 42:30 and then, I went to those meetings by myself. 42:34 That's called the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. 42:42 In Russian... 42:48 And at those very meetings in 1993, 42:51 I accepted Christ into my heart 42:54 and I got into covenant with Him. 42:56 So then, how did 3ABN have a part 43:01 in your conversion experience... through John Carter? 43:03 Question in Russian... 43:11 Reply in Russian. 43:17 First of all, the message that I heard at those meetings 43:20 changed my heart... 43:22 that it is only Christ who can change my heart... 43:24 there is no... there are no efforts that I can make. 43:29 In Russian... 43:33 And what I was amazed by also was those people... 43:37 how they related to one another... 43:39 how they fellowshipped with one another 43:41 and I wanted the same. 43:44 How has your life changed since meeting the Lord Jesus Christ? 43:49 In Russian... 43:54 I graduated from the University, 44:00 in Russian... 44:05 and I heard the news that they have 44:07 Pastors' Quick Education Courses. 44:12 In Russian... 44:13 My plan was not to be a pastor, 44:15 in Russian... 44:18 I wanted to learn how to read the Bible 44:21 so I went to those courses, 44:26 in Russian... 44:30 and I attended those courses together with Pastor Dimitre, 44:33 the Conference Treasurer, 44:35 he gave his testimony today in the video 44:37 and so, graduating from those courses... 44:41 after I graduated, I was invited to become a Pastor 44:48 and I responded to that calling 44:51 and so, today I'm a minister. 44:55 Praise the Lord, 44:58 isn't that encouraging? 45:02 You know, it's always exciting to get maybe a new camera... 45:05 a new monitor... 45:08 in Russian... 45:11 but nothing compares to a life changed for Jesus Christ 45:15 in Russian... 45:23 so we want to say, "Thank you for your continued prayers 45:26 for 3ABN Russia, 45:28 in Russian... 45:33 and for your financial support 45:35 because it is making a difference in people's lives. 45:37 In Russian... 45:43 Thank you so much for sharing with us Pastor Sergey. 45:47 I want to invite Maxim Pumpolov 45:53 I'm trying... 45:56 in Russian... 46:00 and Maxim works here for 3ABN Russia 46:03 but, take us back to your life before Christ. 46:06 In Russian... 46:14 In Russian. 46:16 I was born in the Soviet Union times... 46:21 in Russian... 46:27 and went to many camps as a young child 46:31 and read a lot of Atheistic literature in those camps. 46:35 In Russian... 46:46 And when I read those books, 46:51 they were mocking God... 46:53 they were mocking religion, they were mocking the Bible 46:56 and they affected me in such a way that I thought, 47:00 "Oh, I want to write a book like this myself. " 47:03 In Russian... 47:11 Praise the Lord, I never wrote that book... 47:13 time passed... and I didn't notice myself 47:18 how the Lord started affecting and changing my thinking. 47:22 In Russian... 47:28 My heart prompted me that there is something there. 47:32 In Russian... 47:39 And when in 1992, Pastor John Carter came to 47:42 Nizhny Novgorod with the Program Amazing Discoveries, 47:45 in Russian... 47:51 and when I learned that those who attend 47:54 certain amount of those meetings 47:56 would get a Bible as a gift, 47:58 in Russian... 48:01 I started attending those meetings. 48:02 As a result I got my Bible 48:06 started reading it 48:08 and practically didn't understand it. 48:13 So, my heart was still closed... 48:19 shut up for understanding the truth. 48:22 Do you remember what part of the Bible you started reading? 48:25 In Russian... 48:27 Old Testament was just impossible to understand 48:34 I started with the New Testament and still didn't understand it. 48:38 In Russian... 48:45 In 1993, I found out that there is a place 48:49 where those people who were baptized during the meetings 48:51 get together. 48:55 In Russian... 48:59 I saw the very first "Face-to-Face" Program 49:01 on television that they started airing in Nizhny Novgorod. 49:05 In Russian... 49:15 "Face-to-Face" was the first 3ABN Russia's program 49:20 on the air in our city. 49:22 and Maxim continues that I considered myself a good man 49:29 I didn't think that there was something 49:32 that needed to be different in me, 49:35 I was satisfied with how I was. 49:36 In Russian... 49:41 In 1993 I was enrolled in the Army Service 49:46 in Russian... 49:50 and I saw myself from a different perspective. 49:54 In Russian... 49:59 I saw that I was not that good and I felt a need to change 50:05 and I felt a need that God changes me. 50:09 Greg: That's good. 50:11 In 1994, 50:14 when I came back from the Army Service, 50:18 in Russian... 50:21 I started regularly attending the church 50:23 watching "Face-to-Face" 3ABN Russia's programming, 50:29 I especially loved to watch the programs 50:35 of testimonies of the people... how God changed their lives. 50:38 Greg: That's great! 50:40 Then, Pastor John Carter came with another Series of programs 50:46 to our city again, 50:47 and after that Program, I was baptized. 50:53 Greg: Amen, praise the Lord. 50:54 Praise the Lord in Russian. 50:56 Jill: Again I see the convicting power of the Holy Spirit's work. 50:59 Greg: Amen. 51:02 In Russian... 51:05 The Lord used the ministry of 3ABN 51:07 in Russian... 51:10 He used the ministry of Pastor John Carter, 51:15 and the prayers and support of so many people 51:18 but what an incredible testimony! 51:26 When did you start working for 3ABN Russia?

" 57:03 Pastor John, would you pray for us? 57:08 Let us bow our heads, 57:15 "Gracious Father in heaven, 57:19 we have been reminded of Your great plan. 57:26 We are always amazed at the way you move. 57:34 What thrills our hearts as we stand this weekend 57:43 was a desire born in your heart millennia ago. 57:47 In Russian... 57:57 Father, I thank you again... 57:58 and we thank you again for your faithful servant, Danny Shelton. 58:08 We are reminded of the passion of one... 58:17 and as the song writer says, 58:19 'It only takes a spark to get a fire going' 58:22 in Russian... 58:31 and the fire started 35 years ago 58:33 continues to burn on every continent today, 58:36 in Russian... 58:49 and only in eternity will we understand the impact 58:51 of the work you have done. 58:53 In Russian... 59:00 Father, the work began humbly, may it continue humbly... 59:04 in Russian... 59:11 Father, may we never be distracted by what we do 59:14 and keep our eyes always on you 59:16 In Russian... 59:29 and finally, when the work is done, 59:34 may it be the privilege of every one of us 59:41 to unite with this undiluted three angels' messages 59:50 and Father, I add one more thing, 59:53 we know the enemy is upset with this message 01:00:00 and he's angry with Your messenger 01:00:05 but may we look unto Jesus 01:00:06 the author and finisher of our faith 01:00:08 in Russian... 01:00:13 and when the final work is done, 01:00:18 along with Danny and Julia and all the workers in America 01:00:22 and Russia and other parts of this globe, 01:00:24 in Russian... 01:00:35 may we hear, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant' 01:00:42 in Jesus' name I pray, amen.
