Hello, and welcome
to 3ABN Worship Hour.
00:00:26.55\00:00:28.92
I'm Kenny Shelton.
00:00:28.96\00:00:30.29
We have an exciting
subject for you today.
00:00:30.33\00:00:32.93
I know you're going to
enjoy it by the grace of God.
00:00:32.96\00:00:35.66
The subject is, we're
going to be talking about
00:00:35.70\00:00:37.37
out of the cities and now.
00:00:37.40\00:00:40.37
Out of the cities now.
00:00:40.40\00:00:41.74
So it's something
that I think is on the mind
00:00:41.77\00:00:43.47
and hearts of people today.
00:00:43.51\00:00:44.84
I believe will answer
some of your questions
00:00:44.87\00:00:46.21
by the grace of God,
and by the Word of God.
00:00:46.24\00:00:48.41
But before we get
into this wonderful study,
00:00:48.44\00:00:50.88
my brother Tim
Parton is here with us today
00:00:50.91\00:00:53.21
and he's going to
be singing and playing,
00:00:53.25\00:00:55.38
and speaking to us
00:00:55.42\00:00:56.75
and bringing us
a great blessing.
00:00:56.79\00:00:58.12
Brother Tim.
00:00:58.15\00:00:59.49
Thank you, Kenny.
00:00:59.52\00:01:00.86
I received a letter
this week, says, "Hi, Tim.
00:01:00.89\00:01:04.53
I grew up in the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:01:04.56\00:01:07.86
But I don't go
to church anymore.
00:01:07.90\00:01:09.96
I don't know anymore
00:01:10.00\00:01:11.33
what I believe or
if I even believe.
00:01:11.37\00:01:14.87
I just want to let you know
00:01:14.90\00:01:16.24
that I have found YouTube videos
00:01:16.27\00:01:17.84
of you playing and singing hymns
00:01:17.87\00:01:19.54
and watching those videos
00:01:19.57\00:01:21.18
is perhaps the only
spiritual thing left
00:01:21.21\00:01:23.38
in my life at the moment.
00:01:23.41\00:01:25.41
Thanks for that."
00:01:25.45\00:01:28.35
Wow!
00:01:28.38\00:01:29.72
You know, I think of people
00:01:29.75\00:01:32.32
who maybe like this young man,
00:01:32.35\00:01:37.03
you've lost your way,
00:01:37.06\00:01:40.46
your desire for the Lord
00:01:40.50\00:01:41.93
or maybe you
just are so consumed
00:01:41.96\00:01:48.84
by the things
that that the world has
00:01:48.87\00:01:51.11
or overwhelmed, you just,
you don't know what to do.
00:01:51.14\00:01:55.84
I think of Matthew 11:28-30
00:01:55.88\00:02:01.05
that says, Jesus said,
00:02:01.08\00:02:03.15
"Come to Me,
00:02:03.18\00:02:04.52
all who labor
and are heavy laden,
00:02:04.55\00:02:08.49
I will give you rest.
00:02:08.52\00:02:10.23
Take My yoke upon
you and learn from Me,
00:02:10.26\00:02:13.09
for I am gentle
and lowly in heart,
00:02:13.13\00:02:16.16
you will find
rest for your souls.
00:02:16.20\00:02:17.93
For My yoke is easy,
and My burden is light."
00:02:17.97\00:02:22.77
Eugene Peterson,
translated it this way
00:02:22.80\00:02:25.84
in the message translation,
says, "Are you tired, worn out,
00:02:25.87\00:02:30.51
burned out on religion?
00:02:30.55\00:02:32.51
Come to me.
00:02:32.55\00:02:34.72
Get away with me and
you'll recover your life.
00:02:34.75\00:02:38.19
I'll show you how
to take a real rest.
00:02:38.22\00:02:41.52
Walk with me. Work with me.
00:02:41.56\00:02:43.43
Watch how I do it.
00:02:43.46\00:02:45.13
Learn the
unforced rhythms of grace.
00:02:45.16\00:02:48.60
I won't lay anything
heavy or ill fitting on you.
00:02:48.63\00:02:52.07
Keep company with me
00:02:52.10\00:02:53.44
and you'll learn to
live freely and lightly."
00:02:53.47\00:02:57.57
I encourage you to
draw close to the Lord.
00:02:57.61\00:03:03.18
If you're thinking
about walking away from Him,
00:03:03.21\00:03:07.12
draw closer to Him
actually, that's the key.
00:03:07.15\00:03:09.58
That is the key.
00:03:09.62\00:03:10.95
And it reminds me of this song
00:03:10.99\00:03:14.19
that I have to make
my prayer every day.
00:03:14.22\00:03:18.26
Like the woman at the well
00:03:18.29\00:03:21.26
I was seeking
00:03:21.30\00:03:25.77
For things That
could not satisfy
00:03:25.80\00:03:32.61
And then I heard
My Savior speaking
00:03:32.64\00:03:39.08
Draw from My well
00:03:39.11\00:03:42.52
That never shall run dry
00:03:42.55\00:03:48.16
Fill my cup, Lord
00:03:48.19\00:03:54.20
I lift it up, Lord
00:03:54.23\00:03:56.13
Come and quench
00:03:56.16\00:03:58.70
This thirsting of my soul
00:03:58.73\00:04:04.61
Bread of Heaven
00:04:04.64\00:04:08.31
Feed me till I want no more
00:04:08.34\00:04:13.72
Fill my cup
00:04:13.75\00:04:16.75
Fill it up and make me whole
00:04:16.79\00:04:23.73
There are millions In this world
00:04:23.76\00:04:27.33
Who are craving
00:04:27.36\00:04:30.43
The pleasures
00:04:30.47\00:04:32.07
That earthly things afford
00:04:32.10\00:04:37.37
But none can match
The wondrous treasure
00:04:37.41\00:04:43.35
That I find
00:04:43.38\00:04:46.18
In Jesus Christ my Lord
00:04:46.21\00:04:50.99
Oh, fill my cup, Lord
00:04:51.02\00:04:54.79
I lift it up, Lord
00:04:54.82\00:04:58.16
Come and quench
00:04:58.19\00:05:00.56
This thirsting of my soul
00:05:00.60\00:05:05.23
Bread of Heaven feed me
00:05:05.27\00:05:10.97
And feed me
some more Fill my cup
00:05:11.01\00:05:15.91
Fill it up and make me whole
00:05:15.94\00:05:20.82
So my children if the things
00:05:20.85\00:05:25.15
That this world gave you
00:05:25.19\00:05:29.72
Leave a hunger
00:05:29.76\00:05:31.66
That simply won't pass away
00:05:31.69\00:05:37.00
My blessed Lord
00:05:37.03\00:05:39.33
Will surely come and save you
00:05:39.37\00:05:43.10
If you will kneel to Him
00:05:43.14\00:05:46.84
And humbly pray, Lord
00:05:46.88\00:05:51.65
Fill my cup, Lord
00:05:51.68\00:05:54.35
I lift it up, Lord
00:05:54.38\00:05:58.29
Oh, come and quench

00:06:18.74\00:06:22.04
Fill it up
00:06:22.08\00:06:24.68
And make me whole
00:06:24.71\00:06:31.65
Praise the Lord.
00:06:43.40\00:06:45.70
Thank you, Brother
Tim, that was beautiful.
00:06:45.73\00:06:48.24
We're gonna pray right now
00:06:48.27\00:06:50.17
that the Lord
will fill our cups.
00:06:50.21\00:06:52.27
So I invite you to
pray along with me.
00:06:52.31\00:06:54.74
I'm gonna kneel up here
and we'll pray together.
00:06:54.78\00:06:56.48
Shall we?
00:06:56.51\00:06:57.85
Kind loving Heavenly Father,
00:07:00.52\00:07:01.85
what a privilege it
is to be able to pray.
00:07:01.88\00:07:04.72
We lift our
hearts to You right now
00:07:04.75\00:07:06.25
because we realize
our cup must be full.
00:07:06.29\00:07:08.89
We can only give that
which runs over the top.
00:07:08.92\00:07:11.89
So, Lord, I pray today
00:07:11.93\00:07:13.26
our cups will run over the top
00:07:13.29\00:07:14.63
that be our soul will be filled
with love and joy and peace.
00:07:14.66\00:07:17.90
Pray for Your Holy Spirit
00:07:17.93\00:07:19.27
to have Your will and Your way
00:07:19.30\00:07:20.64
in each of our
hearts in our life today.
00:07:20.67\00:07:22.00
Open the word
00:07:22.04\00:07:23.37
that may speak words
of life and encouragement.
00:07:23.41\00:07:25.21
May we be obedient to Your Word.
00:07:25.24\00:07:27.61
Thank You, Lord, for hearing,
thank You for answering,
00:07:27.64\00:07:29.58
thank You for
being a God that cares,
00:07:29.61\00:07:31.38
thank You for
Calvary, in Jesus' name we pray
00:07:31.41\00:07:33.72
and for His sake, amen.
00:07:33.75\00:07:35.45
Praise the Lord. Once
again, we welcome you.
00:07:39.89\00:07:41.49
We're glad that you're here.
00:07:41.52\00:07:42.89
Again our subject,
00:07:42.92\00:07:44.26
probably this still may be
a little heavy duty for some,
00:07:44.29\00:07:46.06
but we pray that it's not
00:07:46.09\00:07:47.43
because it is the
signs of the times.
00:07:47.46\00:07:49.96
We're going to
be talking right now
00:07:50.00\00:07:51.43
out of the cities now.
00:07:51.47\00:07:53.70
Out of the cities
now, what does that mean?
00:07:53.74\00:07:56.47
A lot of people
have preconceived ideas
00:07:56.50\00:07:58.37
of when it's time to get out,
00:07:58.41\00:07:59.77
if they ever should get out
00:07:59.81\00:08:01.14
or things that are
going on in the world today.
00:08:01.18\00:08:03.48
We're going to go
over a few of those things
00:08:03.51\00:08:04.88
just as reminders
00:08:04.91\00:08:06.45
to see if God is
really telling us
00:08:06.48\00:08:08.05
that we need to
get out of the city.
00:08:08.08\00:08:10.29
So, again, we're
glad you're there.
00:08:10.32\00:08:12.09
Have your Bible,
pencil, and paper,
00:08:12.12\00:08:13.46
and jot down
some of these things.
00:08:13.49\00:08:14.82
We move as quickly as we
can through the Word of God.
00:08:14.86\00:08:18.96
The Bible says,
"In the last days,"
00:08:18.99\00:08:21.20
I like this, "In the last days,"
00:08:21.23\00:08:22.56
he said,
"perilous times will come."
00:08:22.60\00:08:24.87
What an interesting
word, perilous times will come.
00:08:24.90\00:08:28.17
That means there's
going to be troublesome times.
00:08:28.20\00:08:30.97
That means it's going
to be some hard times,
00:08:31.01\00:08:33.27
that's going to
be some oppression.
00:08:33.31\00:08:35.31
There's going to be
some things that's going on,
00:08:35.34\00:08:37.05
when he said perilous times
00:08:37.08\00:08:38.58
and times the word
here's translated, seasons.
00:08:38.61\00:08:41.05
There's going to be seasons
00:08:41.08\00:08:42.72
of times that
are very difficult.
00:08:42.75\00:08:44.99
There's going to be
periods in earth's history
00:08:45.02\00:08:47.42
that are very difficult
for individuals to get by.
00:08:47.46\00:08:51.49
How do we do it without Jesus?
00:08:51.53\00:08:54.00
There's a
beautiful song, I like it.
00:08:54.03\00:08:55.66
I just loved the one Tim sang,
00:08:55.70\00:08:57.13
but I like this
one here too also.
00:08:57.17\00:09:00.40
It's a song about
Jesus soon coming.
00:09:00.44\00:09:03.14
Jesus is soon to come.
00:09:03.17\00:09:04.57
He's coming soon.
00:09:04.61\00:09:05.94
This is a song with a message
just listen to the words,
00:09:05.97\00:09:09.31
see how it applies to the
day in which we are living in.
00:09:09.34\00:09:12.38
Notice it.
00:09:12.41\00:09:13.75
I may not get all the
words just exactly right
00:09:13.78\00:09:15.38
'cause if I don't
get them out I'll hum.
00:09:15.42\00:09:17.52
Then notice what it says.
00:09:17.55\00:09:18.89
Troublesome times are here,
00:09:18.92\00:09:20.99
filling men's hearts with fear.
00:09:21.02\00:09:24.09
Think about the words.
00:09:24.13\00:09:25.46
Think about what
we're going through
00:09:25.49\00:09:26.83
in this country right now.
00:09:26.86\00:09:28.46
Troublesome times, yes.
00:09:28.50\00:09:30.40
Man's heart fears, yes.
00:09:30.43\00:09:32.77
Freedom we all hold
dear now is at stake.
00:09:32.80\00:09:39.17
Humbling your heart
to God, notice this,
00:09:39.21\00:09:41.64
saves from the chastening rod
00:09:41.68\00:09:44.95
or the punishment
in order to correct.
00:09:44.98\00:09:48.35
God allows
punishment to come to we,
00:09:48.38\00:09:49.88
so He can correct us.
00:09:49.92\00:09:51.25
How wonderful!
00:09:51.29\00:09:52.62
It says, seek the
way pilgrims trod,
00:09:52.65\00:09:55.72
Christians awake.
00:09:55.76\00:09:58.19
If there's ever
time in earth's history
00:09:58.23\00:09:59.69
to wake out of our sleep,
00:09:59.73\00:10:02.06
don't you think that it's now?
00:10:02.10\00:10:04.37
It's a period,
00:10:04.40\00:10:05.80
a season of
perilous times are on us,
00:10:05.83\00:10:08.97
evil days, perilous times.
00:10:09.00\00:10:12.04
It's nothing new.
00:10:12.07\00:10:13.51
It's always been expected.
00:10:13.54\00:10:15.01
You know, it's age
long course of evil.
00:10:15.04\00:10:17.18
And, but notice, the Bible says,
00:10:17.21\00:10:19.08
it's going to intensify
00:10:19.11\00:10:21.18
as we get closer
to the end of time.
00:10:21.22\00:10:24.05
I sense an intensity,
00:10:24.09\00:10:26.55
you know, as I
read the Word of God
00:10:26.59\00:10:28.09
about how close we
are to the end of time.
00:10:28.12\00:10:31.93
Bible goes into,
00:10:31.96\00:10:33.29
we're not going to
go through all of them,
00:10:33.33\00:10:34.66
just as last days,
00:10:34.70\00:10:36.03
there's going to be
people who are disobedient,
00:10:36.06\00:10:38.07
though those who are
going to be unthankful
00:10:38.10\00:10:39.73
and unholy,
00:10:39.77\00:10:41.10
notice that, simply said unholy.
00:10:41.14\00:10:43.04
It's talking about a people
00:10:43.07\00:10:44.41
that has thrown
God out of their mind.
00:10:44.44\00:10:47.04
They don't want to
listen to God anymore.
00:10:47.08\00:10:49.28
There's not in their thoughts
and in their actions anymore.
00:10:49.31\00:10:52.78
Can you not see that today?
00:10:52.81\00:10:55.02
Absolutely.
00:10:55.05\00:10:56.55
People without self-control,
they have corrupt minds.
00:10:56.58\00:11:02.36
And remember the mind
00:11:02.39\00:11:03.73
really determines the
direction that you will go.
00:11:03.76\00:11:07.76
As we look at the
world now, and it's time,
00:11:07.80\00:11:10.63
these perilous times,
00:11:10.67\00:11:12.00
don't you think
00:11:12.03\00:11:13.37
that maybe it's time
to get right with God?
00:11:13.40\00:11:16.74
Oh, everybody says
there was time to get,
00:11:16.77\00:11:18.77
you know, "It's time
to get right with God."
00:11:18.81\00:11:20.14
Absolutely it is.
Today's the day of salvation.
00:11:20.18\00:11:23.08
Out of the cities now,
what does that possibly mean?
00:11:23.11\00:11:27.12
In the last several days,
00:11:27.15\00:11:28.82
we've seen quite
an uproar going on,
00:11:28.85\00:11:31.59
not just in the United
States, but around the world.
00:11:31.62\00:11:34.82
This is a sign of the time.
00:11:34.86\00:11:37.23
Put your head in the sand,
00:11:37.26\00:11:38.59
you know, in the sand we
talked about if you want to.
00:11:38.63\00:11:41.63
But, you know, it's
best to get our head out
00:11:41.66\00:11:43.26
and be able to think,
00:11:43.30\00:11:44.63
use the mind that
God has given you.
00:11:44.67\00:11:46.00
And see, we see cities now
that are battered by protest.
00:11:46.03\00:11:51.97
And again, I'll say
protests several times.
00:11:52.01\00:11:53.58
I'm sure in this.
00:11:53.61\00:11:54.94
I believe that we
should be able to protest.
00:11:54.98\00:11:56.31
We say we don't like.
00:11:56.34\00:11:57.68
Something we
should be able to do that.
00:11:57.71\00:11:59.05
But it should be
peaceful, don't you believe?
00:11:59.08\00:12:01.25
We see cities
that are on the edge.
00:12:01.28\00:12:05.02
We see curfews put into effect.
00:12:05.05\00:12:08.69
We see the attack of police
00:12:08.72\00:12:10.66
and police
attacking individuals.
00:12:10.69\00:12:13.90
In fact, they're targeted.
00:12:13.93\00:12:15.26
Maybe the police have
been targeted by those,
00:12:15.30\00:12:17.47
you know, in the protest.
00:12:17.50\00:12:19.87
Officers have been
wounded. They've been killed.
00:12:19.90\00:12:21.87
They've been in gun
battle in St. Louis,
00:12:21.90\00:12:24.41
not too far
from here, Las Vegas.
00:12:24.44\00:12:28.74
Some been run over by cars.
00:12:28.78\00:12:30.71
Now what kind of a
world is that we're living in?
00:12:30.75\00:12:32.75
Is it time that we
need to be in the city
00:12:32.78\00:12:34.22
and maybe out of the city?
00:12:34.25\00:12:35.58
Is this just the
beginning of sorrows?
00:12:35.62\00:12:39.25
In New York, and, of
course, the City of Buffalo,
00:12:39.29\00:12:43.09
you know, some
officers I think they were fired
00:12:43.12\00:12:45.79
for trying to restore peace.
00:12:45.83\00:12:47.96
And there's others that
probably should be fired
00:12:48.00\00:12:50.60
for not trying to bring peace.
00:12:50.63\00:12:53.77
So there's some
things that going on
00:12:53.80\00:12:55.14
that's a taxing
00:12:55.17\00:12:56.50
I think our mind and our hearts,
00:12:56.54\00:12:59.07
but every time I see some
of these things take place
00:12:59.11\00:13:01.24
and men's hearts
doing what they're doing,
00:13:01.28\00:13:03.08
and the world going
the direction is going,
00:13:03.11\00:13:05.65
I want to lift up my head
00:13:05.68\00:13:07.42
because I believe my redemption.
00:13:07.45\00:13:09.35
"Your redemption draweth nigh."
00:13:09.38\00:13:12.42
You know, much of these
things that were going on,
00:13:12.45\00:13:16.22
you know, in the world,
they were caught on camera.
00:13:16.26\00:13:18.73
You can hardly
go anywhere anymore
00:13:18.76\00:13:20.36
without somebody videoing you,
00:13:20.40\00:13:23.47
you know, that's just
the way it is nowadays.
00:13:23.50\00:13:26.60
And so some of these
bad things were videoed,
00:13:26.63\00:13:29.34
just think about
that, notice this,
00:13:29.37\00:13:31.27
the murder of George Floyd.
00:13:31.31\00:13:36.04
And this started
the so called protest.
00:13:36.08\00:13:39.85
And I want to call
it, protest gone wild.
00:13:39.88\00:13:42.12
Again, I believe that
First Amendment rights
00:13:42.15\00:13:43.62
we should be able to protest.
00:13:43.65\00:13:45.05
This is gone wild.
00:13:45.09\00:13:46.96
And just as an
example, in the City of Georgia,
00:13:46.99\00:13:50.56
there was six
warrants that were issued,
00:13:50.59\00:13:53.53
or six police officers,
00:13:53.56\00:13:54.90
warrant for each one
of them for bad conduct.
00:13:54.93\00:13:58.53
People no longer
trust the police.
00:13:58.57\00:14:01.80
Now we're not trying to
pick on this group or that group
00:14:01.84\00:14:03.77
or taking a
positional stance on politics.
00:14:03.81\00:14:05.77
That's not my thing.
00:14:05.81\00:14:07.14
My thing is I'm saying
all these things are happening
00:14:07.18\00:14:08.78
and there for a reason
00:14:08.81\00:14:10.15
that God is
allowing things to take place
00:14:10.18\00:14:11.85
so that people can see
the hour that we are in.
00:14:11.88\00:14:16.05
NewYorkTimes.com says this,
00:14:16.08\00:14:19.32
it says this,
00:14:19.35\00:14:20.69
"Minnesota is investigating
00:14:20.72\00:14:22.16
some of their
police department."
00:14:22.19\00:14:26.03
Something's gone
wrong, terribly wrong.
00:14:26.06\00:14:29.86
And, you know what
they're investigating them
00:14:29.90\00:14:31.87
the issue on, notice,
racial discrimination.
00:14:31.90\00:14:36.14
We have to
realize that in the Bible,
00:14:36.17\00:14:38.57
Spirit of Prophecy,
00:14:38.61\00:14:39.97
we realize that racial
issues will be more alive
00:14:40.01\00:14:44.55
maybe than they ever
had before Jesus comes.
00:14:44.58\00:14:47.78
It's just a sign.
00:14:47.82\00:14:49.15
Just think with me for a moment.
00:14:49.18\00:14:51.25
And we'll prove that
a little bit later on
00:14:51.29\00:14:52.72
as we get into the Word.
00:14:52.75\00:14:55.19
This goes much beyond,
I said the United States,
00:14:55.22\00:14:58.33
but in Paris for instance,
there was 15,000 people
00:14:58.36\00:15:01.86
that gathered
together to protest.
00:15:01.90\00:15:03.67
They were angry
over the killing,
00:15:03.70\00:15:05.63
you know, of George Floyd's,
00:15:05.67\00:15:07.50
you know, his death
the way that it happened.
00:15:07.54\00:15:09.70
And you can't blame
them. It was horrible sight.
00:15:09.74\00:15:13.21
But this rippling
effect goes beyond,
00:15:13.24\00:15:16.61
again, the United States
and maybe other countries
00:15:16.64\00:15:18.91
but too many
cities of the world.
00:15:18.95\00:15:22.78
Crowds gather together.
00:15:22.82\00:15:25.42
There's police
violence and racism.
00:15:25.45\00:15:30.73
The Paris police said
this, on the demonstration,
00:15:30.76\00:15:32.79
they're talking
about demonstrations here.
00:15:32.83\00:15:34.23
They talked about it here.
00:15:34.26\00:15:35.60
They said, "Demonstrations
are forbidden here
00:15:35.63\00:15:38.03
during this country's,"
00:15:38.07\00:15:39.40
notice, "public
health emergency."
00:15:39.43\00:15:42.70
Isn't it interesting
00:15:42.74\00:15:44.07
during the last
five, six, seven days?
00:15:44.11\00:15:45.47
I know it's kind of
dating a little bit here
00:15:45.51\00:15:46.98
but we need to think.
00:15:47.01\00:15:48.34
If we look at it here, we say,
00:15:48.38\00:15:49.71
I already heard a word
about this national emergency
00:15:49.74\00:15:53.92
that we are in
a health emergency
00:15:53.95\00:15:55.82
about the Coronavirus.
00:15:55.85\00:15:59.45
This has taken
the place in the news.
00:15:59.49\00:16:02.29
Sydney, Australia,
peaceful march was held,
00:16:02.32\00:16:05.33
you know, what
they were chanting?
00:16:05.36\00:16:06.70
Now listen carefully,
00:16:06.73\00:16:08.06
don't anybody get all up in arms
00:16:08.10\00:16:09.43
and get all excited
which people do all the time.
00:16:09.46\00:16:11.67
They were
chanting, "Enough is enough!
00:16:11.70\00:16:14.17
Enough is enough!"
00:16:14.20\00:16:15.54
And pretty soon
people began to get
00:16:15.57\00:16:16.91
a little emotional about it.
00:16:16.94\00:16:19.74
And do you think
maybe enough is enough?
00:16:19.77\00:16:22.58
We'd like to see the world
00:16:22.61\00:16:23.95
turn back the way
that it was maybe.
00:16:23.98\00:16:26.92
But you know,
00:16:26.95\00:16:28.28
I don't believe it's
ever going to return.
00:16:28.32\00:16:29.68
These changes
that are taking place
00:16:29.72\00:16:31.69
are going to continue on.
00:16:31.72\00:16:34.06
You see, and
we'll find ourselves
00:16:34.09\00:16:36.16
with less
freedoms in this world.
00:16:36.19\00:16:38.29
Freedom after
freedom is being taken away
00:16:38.33\00:16:40.46
and it will not be given back.
00:16:40.50\00:16:42.23
Let's just think about it
so that we can make decisions.
00:16:42.26\00:16:46.17
There's one
person in Rio de Janeiro
00:16:46.20\00:16:48.50
made just a little statement
about that it was so powerful.
00:16:48.54\00:16:52.11
He said, "We need to
do some soul searching."
00:16:52.14\00:16:55.58
Man, do we ever need to do
some soul searching right now
00:16:55.61\00:16:58.58
with the things
that are happening?
00:16:58.61\00:16:59.98
But here's what
he said about it.
00:17:00.02\00:17:01.35
We need to do
some soul searching
00:17:01.38\00:17:02.72
over local racial divisions.
00:17:02.75\00:17:06.72
Some of the things
that we talked about,
00:17:06.76\00:17:08.19
the Word of God,
Spirit of Prophecy
00:17:08.22\00:17:09.56
talks about it's
going to be paramount
00:17:09.59\00:17:10.93
just before Jesus come,
just before probation closes,
00:17:10.96\00:17:14.83
and racial issues
will be one of them.
00:17:14.86\00:17:17.53
Man, is it fired up right now?
00:17:17.57\00:17:20.24
We're not trying to
say it is or it isn't.
00:17:20.27\00:17:21.64
We're just saying
it's fired up right now.
00:17:21.67\00:17:24.67
You know, you go all
the way from California.
00:17:24.71\00:17:26.84
You go to New York,
wherever it might be,
00:17:26.88\00:17:29.21
you know,
Pennsylvania in between,
00:17:29.24\00:17:31.41
protesters every
night have been returning
00:17:31.45\00:17:33.35
to the streets.
00:17:33.38\00:17:35.42
Many are angry.
00:17:35.45\00:17:36.79
In Washington DC, they
got mad at the president
00:17:36.82\00:17:38.65
because he sent in
some of the military,
00:17:38.69\00:17:41.16
you remember that,
00:17:41.19\00:17:42.52
to kind of patrol the streets
00:17:42.56\00:17:43.89
because they were
getting out of hand.
00:17:43.93\00:17:45.26
There's looting and
killing and brick throwing.
00:17:45.29\00:17:50.03
Like it was nothing
00:17:50.07\00:17:51.40
and we should
let that continue on.
00:17:51.43\00:17:53.64
You decide.
00:17:53.67\00:17:56.24
President says, "I'm
sending in the military
00:17:56.27\00:17:57.71
to crack down on this
violence and this looting, "
00:17:57.74\00:18:00.14
which are signs of the last days
00:18:00.18\00:18:02.68
that we are living in.
00:18:02.71\00:18:04.21
Please keep that in your mind.
00:18:04.25\00:18:06.98
There's high tension
right now everywhere.
00:18:07.02\00:18:10.79
And a nation or we talk
about, nations are on edge,
00:18:10.82\00:18:15.56
ravaged by the
Coronavirus pandemic
00:18:15.59\00:18:19.13
they call it,
00:18:19.16\00:18:20.50
sky high
unemployment, bad economy.
00:18:20.53\00:18:25.63
And now to add to
that we realize right now,
00:18:25.67\00:18:28.40
we're dealing with
racism and police brutality.
00:18:28.44\00:18:34.38
Man, if this is
not signs of the time,
00:18:34.41\00:18:36.85
that's labeled out in Scripture.
00:18:36.88\00:18:39.71
Oh, somebody said,
00:18:39.75\00:18:41.08
"Well, that's just taking place
00:18:41.12\00:18:42.45
in just a few
cities of the world.
00:18:42.48\00:18:43.82
It's not really a big deal."
00:18:43.85\00:18:45.19
Really?
00:18:45.22\00:18:47.06
This is going on
in over 140 cities.
00:18:47.09\00:18:52.43
What an uprising.
00:18:52.46\00:18:54.50
There's unrest and there's fear.
00:18:54.53\00:18:57.47
Even though the Bible
talks about, you know,
00:18:57.50\00:18:58.93
perfect love casts out all fear.
00:18:58.97\00:19:01.14
We have nothing to
fear but fear itself.
00:19:01.17\00:19:02.60
We have God that's on our side,
00:19:02.64\00:19:04.11
but something is
happening with people
00:19:04.14\00:19:05.81
who are doing
what they're doing.
00:19:05.84\00:19:07.54
Maybe they don't have God.
00:19:07.58\00:19:11.88
Maybe they've forgotten God.
00:19:11.91\00:19:14.18
What a real...
00:19:14.22\00:19:15.55
I'm just
throwing this out to you.
00:19:15.58\00:19:16.92
What a real born again Christian
00:19:16.95\00:19:18.79
be ransacking and
taking from other people
00:19:18.82\00:19:21.86
who've worked so hard
00:19:21.89\00:19:23.22
for certain things and stealing?
00:19:23.26\00:19:25.56
You know what I'm talking about?
00:19:25.59\00:19:28.10
Maybe the issue is much
deeper than we ever thought.
00:19:28.13\00:19:32.00
With this national unrest,
00:19:32.03\00:19:35.27
these attacks
on law enforcement,
00:19:35.30\00:19:38.21
injuries,
00:19:38.24\00:19:39.57
death that we've
talked about here,
00:19:39.61\00:19:40.94
police, protesters looting,
00:19:40.98\00:19:44.48
causing destruction
00:19:44.51\00:19:46.11
by the millions and billions
of dollars and violence!
00:19:46.15\00:19:49.55
Could we possibly say...
00:19:49.58\00:19:51.62
Could we possibly
say that this might be
00:19:51.65\00:19:53.66
as it was in the days of Noah?
00:19:53.69\00:19:56.76
So was it in the days of Noah
00:19:56.79\00:19:58.13
so shall it be when
the Son of man cometh.
00:19:58.16\00:20:00.30
Could we possibly say that
00:20:00.33\00:20:01.66
because violence is
filling the whole land?
00:20:01.70\00:20:04.33
Wow!
00:20:04.37\00:20:05.73
Violence is what?
00:20:05.77\00:20:07.10
It's filling the
whole land right now.
00:20:07.14\00:20:10.91
And you think it's not bad?
00:20:10.94\00:20:13.84
Interesting, the
curfews that are out there,
00:20:13.88\00:20:17.25
California now have
changed their curfew to 2 pm.
00:20:17.28\00:20:20.98
Shortly after lunch,
00:20:21.02\00:20:22.35
they're going to
start closing down
00:20:22.38\00:20:23.72
because a lot of people
don't want to close it down.
00:20:23.75\00:20:26.72
And you say,
well, Hollywood, well,
00:20:26.76\00:20:28.12
let's take
Hollywood for a minute.
00:20:28.16\00:20:30.39
Hollywood streets are
just filled with shouting.
00:20:30.43\00:20:33.63
Now listen carefully,
00:20:33.66\00:20:35.00
now you're gonna
stay with me here.
00:20:35.03\00:20:36.36
You know, I believe
we get to the kingdom,
00:20:36.40\00:20:39.03
there's going to be
different colored people.
00:20:39.07\00:20:41.10
Can I say that?
00:20:41.14\00:20:43.10
There's going to be
people of different colors,
00:20:43.14\00:20:44.57
every race.
00:20:44.61\00:20:47.08
And so what we like right now
we're looking at these things,
00:20:47.11\00:20:49.64
we're saying Hollywood,
00:20:49.68\00:20:51.01
their voices all
they're shouting,
00:20:51.05\00:20:52.51
they're going down the
street, they're shouting,
00:20:52.55\00:20:54.32
"Black lives matter."
00:20:54.35\00:20:56.58
And certainly they do.
00:20:56.62\00:20:58.82
But why can't we be
a little more balance?
00:20:58.85\00:21:00.49
And this is just my
opinion that all lives matter!
00:21:00.52\00:21:04.06
And let me tell you
how I come up with that
00:21:04.09\00:21:05.93
because Jesus said it,
because Calvary proves it.
00:21:05.96\00:21:09.10
Lives matter.
Every life matters.
00:21:09.13\00:21:11.83
Black and white, pink, yellow,
green, you understand it.
00:21:11.87\00:21:16.17
Louisville, Connecticut,
Denver, Missouri, Oregon,
00:21:16.20\00:21:21.54
all protesting which
I said before is okay.
00:21:21.58\00:21:24.55
But listen, anarchy is not,
00:21:24.58\00:21:26.31
the Bible talks
about these things
00:21:26.35\00:21:27.68
taking place in the last day.
00:21:27.72\00:21:29.58
We need not be a
part of that thing
00:21:29.62\00:21:31.32
which has gone haywire.
00:21:31.35\00:21:32.69
Interesting,
just food for thought,
00:21:35.69\00:21:37.43
President Trump visited a
couple of religious sites.
00:21:37.46\00:21:40.90
And one of them
00:21:40.93\00:21:42.26
was with his
wife and by himself,
00:21:42.30\00:21:43.67
when he went to
St. John's Church,
00:21:43.70\00:21:46.20
and that got, you
know, some people angry.
00:21:46.23\00:21:48.90
And then they went
to, him and his wife went
00:21:48.94\00:21:50.47
to Saint John Paul
II National Shrine.
00:21:50.51\00:21:53.74
That's a Catholic site
in North East Washington.
00:21:53.78\00:21:58.45
Interesting, now
notice what one man said.
00:21:58.48\00:22:02.92
And he was talking
about this the pandemic.
00:22:02.95\00:22:05.19
He's talking about the
violence in the streets,
00:22:05.22\00:22:07.59
problems going on in the cities.
00:22:07.62\00:22:10.06
And everything
seems to be out of sort.
00:22:10.09\00:22:13.86
People are acting like
they've lost their minds.
00:22:13.90\00:22:17.67
He made this statement.
00:22:17.70\00:22:19.50
He said, "Who is
going to emerge,"
00:22:19.53\00:22:22.00
notice, "who's going to emerge
00:22:22.04\00:22:24.54
from this pandemic purgatory?"
00:22:24.57\00:22:27.48
Did you get it?
00:22:27.51\00:22:28.91
Pandemic, what?
00:22:28.94\00:22:30.35
Purgatory.
00:22:30.38\00:22:32.75
And who will not?
00:22:32.78\00:22:35.38
Man, can we make it
a little bit clearer?
00:22:35.42\00:22:37.65
Who's going to emerge
from this pandemic hell?
00:22:37.69\00:22:40.86
And who will not?
00:22:45.03\00:22:46.66
There's a lot that will not.
00:22:46.70\00:22:49.06
There's many.
00:22:49.10\00:22:50.50
So what's going on?
00:22:50.53\00:22:52.10
What's going on in
the world right now?
00:22:52.13\00:22:55.64
I don't know
everything that's going on,
00:22:55.67\00:22:57.14
but based on the
Word of God right now,
00:22:57.17\00:22:59.04
right now,
America is being reshaped.
00:22:59.07\00:23:02.51
The world is
being forever changed
00:23:02.54\00:23:06.51
or we say until Jesus comes.
00:23:06.55\00:23:08.68
So the things
that's happening now,
00:23:08.72\00:23:10.05
don't just look and say,
00:23:10.09\00:23:11.42
"Oh, it doesn't
make any difference now."
00:23:11.45\00:23:12.79
The world is being
changed before your very eyes.
00:23:12.82\00:23:15.29
There's something
sinister behind what's going on.
00:23:15.32\00:23:18.09
We just see some
things at surface.
00:23:18.13\00:23:19.63
You read the Word of
God, you realize there's some,
00:23:19.66\00:23:21.43
the enemy is at work.
00:23:21.46\00:23:25.23
Theatlantic.com says this.
00:23:25.27\00:23:27.50
It says,
00:23:27.54\00:23:28.87
"US Commerce
Department reported in March,
00:23:28.90\00:23:32.71
the spending collapse
00:23:32.74\00:23:34.34
by the largest
number on record."
00:23:34.38\00:23:36.75
Did you get that?
00:23:36.78\00:23:38.11
Spending collapse
00:23:38.15\00:23:39.48
by the largest number on record.
00:23:39.51\00:23:42.25
The history of
this world is collapsed.
00:23:42.28\00:23:44.09
Notice it, travel,
00:23:44.12\00:23:45.52
it's talking about the airlines.
00:23:45.55\00:23:46.89
We're talking about hotels.
We're talking about cruises.
00:23:46.92\00:23:49.56
They are down 100%.
00:23:49.59\00:23:53.63
But let me say but
over here, but, interesting,
00:23:53.66\00:23:57.20
their grocery stores,
praise God, grocery stores,
00:23:57.23\00:24:01.30
but notice this
and the liquor stores
00:24:01.34\00:24:03.97
had their best month on record.
00:24:04.01\00:24:07.78
Interesting.
00:24:07.81\00:24:10.78
Maybe our minds are
just not balanced anymore,
00:24:10.81\00:24:12.61
maybe something's wrong,
00:24:12.65\00:24:13.98
maybe we're not
in the Word of God.
00:24:14.02\00:24:15.35
We don't understand
00:24:15.38\00:24:16.72
may what God
would have us to do here
00:24:16.75\00:24:18.09
in these last
hours of earth's history.
00:24:18.12\00:24:22.72
Nevertheless ask a question,
where is all of this leading?
00:24:22.76\00:24:26.53
It's got to lead somewhere.
00:24:26.56\00:24:27.90
We're just going
00:24:27.93\00:24:29.26
over some things
that are happening
00:24:29.30\00:24:30.63
in case you've had
your head in the sand
00:24:30.67\00:24:32.00
and just kind of go
over them to say that
00:24:32.03\00:24:33.40
that's going to fit
00:24:33.44\00:24:34.77
when we read some
things in just a moment.
00:24:34.80\00:24:38.11
I mean, we were having
the climate change disaster,
00:24:38.14\00:24:40.88
we're having the, you know,
the health emergency disaster.
00:24:40.91\00:24:44.55
And then we're having what?
00:24:44.58\00:24:45.91
Racial disasters
00:24:45.95\00:24:50.45
on every hand.
00:24:50.49\00:24:52.75
But you know,
all of these things
00:24:52.79\00:24:54.12
have been
prophesied in Scripture,
00:24:54.16\00:24:55.49
so that we can know them.
00:24:55.52\00:24:57.86
Is it possible time
00:24:57.89\00:24:59.43
that the cities
have become so vile
00:24:59.46\00:25:02.60
that it's time to
move out and move out now?
00:25:02.63\00:25:05.33
Some of you want to put down,
00:25:05.37\00:25:06.70
will step one,
step two, step three,
00:25:06.74\00:25:08.67
look at where we're at.
00:25:08.70\00:25:10.04
Maybe you've missed some steps.
00:25:10.07\00:25:11.64
Maybe it's past
time that you left.
00:25:11.67\00:25:14.84
But now we can start
making preparations for sure
00:25:14.88\00:25:18.05
it's time
00:25:18.08\00:25:19.41
because it's not
going to get any better.
00:25:19.45\00:25:21.98
Let me go to one quote
00:25:22.02\00:25:23.35
that's found in
Letter 2 in 1903.
00:25:23.39\00:25:26.62
Letter 2, 1903, says this,
00:25:26.65\00:25:28.89
"God means that
we shall not locate,"
00:25:28.92\00:25:31.79
where?
00:25:31.83\00:25:33.26
Good! "Not
locate in the," where?
00:25:33.29\00:25:36.10
"In the cities,
00:25:36.13\00:25:37.47
for these are very
strong times before us."
00:25:37.50\00:25:42.60
So God's plan is what?
00:25:42.64\00:25:44.51
Now, you say,
00:25:44.54\00:25:45.87
"Well, now he's talking
about the spirit problems,
00:25:45.91\00:25:47.44
he's talking about..."
00:25:47.48\00:25:48.81
All you have to
do is read the Bible
00:25:48.84\00:25:50.18
through and through and you see
00:25:50.21\00:25:51.55
how God has always
intended His people to be
00:25:51.58\00:25:53.42
and what they should be doing.
00:25:53.45\00:25:55.75
He's always called
them out of the cities,
00:25:55.78\00:26:00.39
because of what was
going on, the influence.
00:26:00.42\00:26:03.46
And I mean even
today, can any of us really,
00:26:03.49\00:26:06.56
you know, with honest
mind and honest heart, say,
00:26:06.59\00:26:08.80
"Yeah, we want to
raise our family there.
00:26:08.83\00:26:11.87
We won't worry
about the influence"?
00:26:11.90\00:26:13.23
Look in the Bible
00:26:13.27\00:26:14.60
of all the influences on people
and what happened to them.
00:26:14.64\00:26:19.77
God means that His people
shall not be in the cities.
00:26:19.81\00:26:22.04
Why?
00:26:22.08\00:26:23.41
Because there's
some tough times ahead.
00:26:23.45\00:26:25.05
We have seen nothing yet.
00:26:25.08\00:26:27.18
And I'm not
trying to discourage you.
00:26:27.22\00:26:28.55
I want to encourage
you. God's still in control.
00:26:28.58\00:26:30.85
Don't worry about the election.
God's still in control.
00:26:30.89\00:26:34.16
But yet these
are difficult times
00:26:34.19\00:26:35.76
God's purifying
00:26:35.79\00:26:37.13
a people to be
ready when He shall come.
00:26:37.16\00:26:39.26
Some to purify so we
can spend eternity with Him.
00:26:39.29\00:26:42.46
Some people think, "I
didn't make any difference.
00:26:42.50\00:26:44.63
I'm a pretty good old
Joe. I'm gonna make it."
00:26:44.67\00:26:48.94
Think the Bible
might say something
00:26:48.97\00:26:50.31
just a little bit
different, don't you believe?
00:26:50.34\00:26:52.47
Absolutely.
00:26:52.51\00:26:53.84
God wants us to be, what?
00:26:53.88\00:26:55.21
Be His children,
00:26:55.24\00:26:56.58
be fruit for the kingdom of God.
00:26:56.61\00:26:59.21
Be like Jesus.
00:26:59.25\00:27:00.58
Gain the victories
that we need in our life.
00:27:00.62\00:27:04.32
Another here, I want to
look at Letter 26 in 1907.
00:27:04.35\00:27:07.36
This was
written a long time ago.
00:27:07.39\00:27:09.22
You say, "How can these fit
00:27:09.26\00:27:10.59
when they're over 100
and some odd years on?"
00:27:10.63\00:27:11.96
Watch how they fit. Why?
00:27:11.99\00:27:13.33
Because they were what?
00:27:13.36\00:27:14.70
The Holy Spirit
impressed the writing of this.
00:27:14.73\00:27:17.73
"The instruction
is still being given,
00:27:17.77\00:27:21.20
move out of the cities
00:27:21.24\00:27:23.04
for wickedness and corruption
00:27:23.07\00:27:24.67
will increase to such
a degree that the very,"
00:27:24.71\00:27:28.04
notice, "the very
atmosphere of cities
00:27:28.08\00:27:30.88
will seem to be polluted."
00:27:30.91\00:27:32.71
The very atmosphere,
the very air of the cities,
00:27:32.75\00:27:35.75
the air that we breathe,
was seen to be polluted.
00:27:35.78\00:27:38.22
It is polluted, is it not?
00:27:38.25\00:27:40.99
We realized, and we did move out
00:27:41.02\00:27:42.69
because wickedness and
corruption will increase.
00:27:42.72\00:27:46.06
Crime is going to increase.
00:27:46.09\00:27:47.43
Do we see that
happening right now?
00:27:47.46\00:27:48.80
Oh, absolutely.
00:27:48.83\00:27:50.17
Been going on for a long time.
00:27:50.20\00:27:51.53
I thought that
was very interesting.
00:27:54.27\00:27:56.40
The instruction is
still given. You know why?
00:27:56.44\00:27:58.84
Because you can get up
here and you can sigh and cry,
00:27:58.87\00:28:00.88
"Oh, somebody help me."
00:28:00.91\00:28:02.24
You can sight and cry
for all the abominations
00:28:02.28\00:28:03.81
that'd be done in the world
00:28:03.85\00:28:05.18
and all the abomination
to be done in a church
00:28:05.21\00:28:06.78
and very few people will listen.
00:28:06.82\00:28:08.95
You can say the
world's coming to an end.
00:28:08.98\00:28:10.39
Very few would have, what?
00:28:10.42\00:28:11.75
Because we like our
car, we like our home.
00:28:11.79\00:28:13.12
We like this., we like that,
our job, more than we love God.
00:28:13.15\00:28:17.33
But God doesn't say, "Well,
they're not going to listen."
00:28:17.36\00:28:19.16
He says, "Give them the message,
00:28:19.19\00:28:20.53
you know, whether they will hear
00:28:20.56\00:28:21.90
or whether they will forbear."
00:28:21.93\00:28:23.53
Give the message,
you need to come out.
00:28:23.57\00:28:26.37
He gives a call to
come out of Babylon.
00:28:26.40\00:28:28.04
Ain't that not the
second angels' message?
00:28:28.07\00:28:30.04
Don't be touching
that thing, the unclean
00:28:30.07\00:28:32.67
'cause by touching the
unclean, we become unclean.
00:28:32.71\00:28:35.64
By associating with
unclean, we become unclean.
00:28:35.68\00:28:39.85
God continues to warn us.
00:28:39.88\00:28:42.08
Who's gonna listen?
00:28:42.12\00:28:44.09
I think this
every once in a while,
00:28:44.12\00:28:45.45
you can forgive me.
00:28:45.49\00:28:46.82
I think I was
wrong, why give it,
00:28:46.86\00:28:48.19
most people not
gonna listen anyway.
00:28:48.22\00:28:51.03
But God says,
"Give the message."
00:28:51.06\00:28:53.16
And this...
00:28:53.19\00:28:54.53
I almost got it, cut a
couple little excuses out
00:28:54.56\00:28:56.80
from under your
little feet right now
00:28:56.83\00:28:58.17
because I've
talked to many people.
00:28:58.20\00:29:00.10
So, you know, we
need to move out of city.
00:29:00.14\00:29:01.54
We realize how bad this getting,
00:29:01.57\00:29:02.97
how the crime and how,
00:29:03.00\00:29:04.34
you know, drive by
shootings and murders and rapes
00:29:04.37\00:29:06.31
and everything you
can think of is happening.
00:29:06.34\00:29:07.94
And you're afraid to get out.
00:29:07.98\00:29:09.31
You got bars on the windows.
00:29:09.34\00:29:10.75
Man, how can you live like that?
00:29:10.78\00:29:13.25
And you say we need to move...
00:29:13.28\00:29:14.62
Well, I can't right now.
00:29:14.65\00:29:16.75
And you give a bunch
of reasons why you can't.
00:29:16.79\00:29:18.72
But God says,
00:29:18.75\00:29:20.09
"This is My
messages to move out."
00:29:20.12\00:29:22.16
If God says to do it,
00:29:22.19\00:29:23.53
then God will
provide a way, will He not?
00:29:23.56\00:29:25.59
Sure, He will, lay
it up on the altar.
00:29:25.63\00:29:27.83
Say, "God, I
know that I need to,
00:29:27.86\00:29:29.23
I don't have the finances.
00:29:29.26\00:29:30.60
I don't have the
help. I'm tougher.
00:29:30.63\00:29:32.10
People say I'm way too old."
00:29:32.13\00:29:33.80
God's not too old to help you.
00:29:33.84\00:29:36.30
Now, people, God
will send angels,
00:29:36.34\00:29:38.04
He was sending to help you.
00:29:38.07\00:29:40.58
We need never make an excuse
00:29:40.61\00:29:42.38
and say, "Well, I
can't, " when God said you can.
00:29:42.41\00:29:47.02
God will provide a
way for He has said
00:29:47.05\00:29:51.22
and this just the
subject out of the cities.
00:29:51.25\00:29:55.42
Man, just,
00:29:55.46\00:29:56.79
I'm asking you
to open your eyes.
00:29:56.83\00:29:58.36
Just open your
eyes, open your ears
00:29:58.39\00:30:01.16
of what's
taking place right now.
00:30:01.20\00:30:03.60
This is the city
has no place to live.
00:30:03.63\00:30:06.10
The city has no
place to raise a family.
00:30:06.13\00:30:08.20
It's no place to
get your education.
00:30:08.24\00:30:10.24
The evil
influences are all around.
00:30:10.27\00:30:13.91
You know, if you're around that,
00:30:13.94\00:30:15.28
you know, the Bible talks about
00:30:15.31\00:30:16.64
by beholding we
become change, do we not?
00:30:16.68\00:30:18.98
Yeah, but
that's what we look at,
00:30:19.01\00:30:20.42
what we listen to,
what we do, you know?
00:30:20.45\00:30:22.42
And sometimes even
all of us is, you know,
00:30:22.45\00:30:24.52
we call Christian,
we're looking around it.
00:30:24.55\00:30:26.22
We forget that by beholding,
00:30:26.25\00:30:28.12
we forget that we're not taught
to listen to certain thing,
00:30:28.16\00:30:30.46
we forget maybe.
00:30:30.49\00:30:32.03
Or maybe we just want
to do it we know better.
00:30:32.06\00:30:34.30
We know what's taking place.
00:30:38.60\00:30:40.67
We are warned
what's taking place.
00:30:40.70\00:30:42.74
Let me I read one,
Prophets and Kings, 278.
00:30:42.77\00:30:45.44
Prophets and Kings, 278.
00:30:45.47\00:30:47.31
Well, I'm going slow. I'm
gonna have to really hurry.
00:30:47.34\00:30:49.24
Some of you think I'm
hurrying too much right now.
00:30:49.28\00:30:50.78
But, boy,
"Prophets and Kings," 278.
00:30:50.81\00:30:53.82
It says, "The
condition prevailing in society,
00:30:53.85\00:30:56.99
and especially
00:30:57.02\00:30:58.35
in the great
cities of the nations
00:30:58.39\00:31:00.82
proclaim in thundering tones
00:31:00.86\00:31:04.36
that the hour
of God's judgment,"
00:31:04.39\00:31:06.49
Oh, boy, notice Revelation 14,
00:31:06.53\00:31:09.00
"That the end of all
things earthly is at hand."
00:31:09.03\00:31:12.77
Now notice this,
00:31:12.80\00:31:14.20
"We are
standing on the threshold
00:31:14.24\00:31:16.74
of the crisis of the ages.
00:31:16.77\00:31:18.87
In quick
succession," notice this,
00:31:18.91\00:31:20.94
"the judgments of God will
be follow one after the other."
00:31:20.98\00:31:25.51
The problem is you've
heard it over and over and over.
00:31:25.55\00:31:27.88
And the problem is
maybe you've closed your mind,
00:31:27.92\00:31:29.55
maybe you haven't.
00:31:29.58\00:31:30.92
I pray that you haven't.
00:31:30.95\00:31:32.29
This is another warning.
This is not the only voice.
00:31:32.32\00:31:34.06
There's many voices out
there in the world today.
00:31:34.09\00:31:36.22
There are many,
maybe not even know God
00:31:36.26\00:31:37.99
are giving a
message just like this.
00:31:38.03\00:31:39.89
Why?
00:31:39.93\00:31:41.26
Because many of us will give it.
00:31:41.30\00:31:42.66
We don't want to talk
about racial problems.
00:31:42.70\00:31:44.70
We don't want to talk
about black and white issues.
00:31:44.73\00:31:47.00
We don't want to
talk about all the stuff
00:31:47.04\00:31:48.37
that's going on
right in bloodshed.
00:31:48.40\00:31:50.17
But you know what?
These are signs of the time.
00:31:50.21\00:31:52.84
God loves everyone.
00:31:52.87\00:31:54.21
He's wanting us to
be saved in the kingdom.
00:31:54.24\00:31:57.48
Notice these, in
the city, the society.
00:31:57.51\00:32:02.38
It's loud!
00:32:02.42\00:32:03.75
Trumpets are blowing everywhere
00:32:03.79\00:32:05.62
and it seems like
we don't understand it.
00:32:05.65\00:32:07.79
The article goes
on and says, you know,
00:32:10.96\00:32:12.29
how these things happen?
00:32:12.33\00:32:13.66
We know fire and
flood and earthquake, wars,
00:32:13.70\00:32:17.03
and certainly blood, you know,
bloodshed, there's pestilence.
00:32:17.07\00:32:22.87
All the things that...
00:32:22.90\00:32:24.24
Just you say
some of these things
00:32:24.27\00:32:25.61
is not to worry about, really?
00:32:25.64\00:32:29.11
This COVID-19 you
realize what happened?
00:32:29.14\00:32:31.35
The world basically
00:32:31.38\00:32:32.71
may I be bold enough to say
00:32:32.75\00:32:34.08
the world was
shut down in two weeks.
00:32:34.12\00:32:36.28
You think it's going
to go on and on and on...
00:32:36.32\00:32:38.39
Two weeks, basically,
the world was shut down.
00:32:38.42\00:32:41.56
And it's still mostly shut down.
00:32:41.59\00:32:45.39
To the point where you
have 35 or 40 million people,
00:32:45.43\00:32:48.90
United States, unemployed.
00:32:48.93\00:32:51.87
And many are
staying, stay unemployed,
00:32:51.90\00:32:53.64
country cannot
last very long that way
00:32:53.67\00:32:55.30
as you well know.
00:32:55.34\00:32:58.07
Decisions! Decisions!
00:32:58.11\00:32:59.97
Decisions!
00:33:00.01\00:33:02.38
Give you just a quick
example you realize there,
00:33:02.41\00:33:04.61
we need to get out
because things are so bad
00:33:04.65\00:33:07.28
because the judgments of
God are being poured out on the,
00:33:07.32\00:33:09.62
especially, on the
cities, we understand that,
00:33:09.65\00:33:11.69
many cities around the
world, things are happening,
00:33:11.72\00:33:14.26
earthquake, tornado,
we talked about fire,
00:33:14.29\00:33:16.66
you know, floods,
everything you can think of.
00:33:16.69\00:33:19.53
You remember Lot
00:33:19.56\00:33:20.90
and most been a
whole lot of time
00:33:20.93\00:33:22.26
I mentioned just a
little bit later on possibly
00:33:22.30\00:33:23.63
as we go on
here, but remember Lot.
00:33:23.67\00:33:26.20
The example
what happened to him.
00:33:26.23\00:33:29.04
He was told to what?
00:33:29.07\00:33:30.41
To move out of the cities.
00:33:30.44\00:33:32.07
He didn't really
want to move out, did he?
00:33:32.11\00:33:33.48
The wife didn't
want to move out.
00:33:33.51\00:33:35.21
The kids didn't
want to move out.
00:33:35.24\00:33:36.88
He didn't move
when he was supposed to.
00:33:36.91\00:33:38.25
An angel come and help him
a couple dollars to move out
00:33:38.28\00:33:40.85
and the wife turned
into a pillar of salt.
00:33:40.88\00:33:42.22
You know what?
00:33:42.25\00:33:43.59
They didn't move
out and remember,
00:33:43.62\00:33:44.95
he did not do the right thing.
00:33:44.99\00:33:46.32
Lot chose what?
00:33:46.35\00:33:47.69
City life!
00:33:47.72\00:33:49.52
And God wanted him where?
00:33:49.56\00:33:50.89
Yeah, out in the country.
00:33:50.93\00:33:53.16
And you know, bless his heart.
00:33:53.19\00:33:54.66
He lost everything.
00:33:54.70\00:33:56.67
My, my, my, my.
00:33:56.70\00:33:58.80
He lost everything.
00:33:58.83\00:34:00.70
He lost his wife.
00:34:00.74\00:34:02.07
He lost all of his
children, his family.
00:34:02.10\00:34:04.07
He lost all of his possessions.
00:34:04.11\00:34:08.11
And I just want to
encourage you, please,
00:34:08.14\00:34:09.61
I just want to encourage
you right now, let's, oh boy,
00:34:09.64\00:34:13.15
let's not be a
religious charlatan.
00:34:13.18\00:34:18.85
Now, what does a
religious charlatan do?
00:34:18.89\00:34:22.59
They all they do is
just talk about issues.
00:34:22.62\00:34:25.43
They don't do anything about it.
00:34:25.46\00:34:28.36
God's looking for men
and women of action today.
00:34:28.40\00:34:30.97
There's no doubt about it.
00:34:31.00\00:34:32.37
Isaiah Chapter 26, the
Bible is clear, verse 21.
00:34:32.40\00:34:36.64
Notice it says,
now, Isaiah 26:21,
00:34:36.67\00:34:39.61
"Behold, the Lord
cometh out of," where?
00:34:39.64\00:34:42.11
God is coming out of His place.
00:34:42.14\00:34:43.61
The Lord is
coming out of His place.
00:34:43.65\00:34:45.05
Why is He coming
out of His place?
00:34:45.08\00:34:47.08
The Bible said,
He's coming out to punish
00:34:47.12\00:34:48.98
the inhabitants of the earth.
00:34:49.02\00:34:51.45
Yes, I get excited about it.
00:34:51.49\00:34:53.69
Yes, that's a solemn thought
00:34:53.72\00:34:55.86
that He's coming
out of His place.
00:34:55.89\00:34:57.66
He's coming because
He's going to, what?
00:34:57.69\00:34:59.33
He's going to punish the
inhabitants of the earth.
00:34:59.36\00:35:02.63
And what are they're
going to punish them for?
00:35:02.66\00:35:04.27
For their
iniquity and their sin,
00:35:04.30\00:35:06.10
which is bound up
especially in the cities,
00:35:06.13\00:35:09.00
all over the world
we understand that.
00:35:09.04\00:35:11.34
And notice,
00:35:11.37\00:35:12.71
"The earth also
shall disclose her blood,
00:35:12.74\00:35:16.51
and shall no
more cover her slain."
00:35:16.54\00:35:19.05
What is it saying?
00:35:19.08\00:35:20.42
The earth is polluted
with crime and bloodshed.
00:35:20.45\00:35:23.25
It's all going to be uncovered.
00:35:23.28\00:35:25.55
The cries, you remember that
00:35:25.59\00:35:27.02
the cries of was it Lot
here we talked about here, Abel,
00:35:27.06\00:35:30.13
Cain killed Abel.
00:35:30.16\00:35:31.49
And he said,
00:35:31.53\00:35:32.86
your blood's
crying out from where?
00:35:32.89\00:35:34.23
Crying out from the ground.
00:35:34.26\00:35:35.60
God said, "This is
all going to be exposed."
00:35:35.63\00:35:37.20
You say, "Well, I
don't believe it."
00:35:37.23\00:35:38.57
I encourage you. This is not...
00:35:38.60\00:35:39.93
Maybe it'll be on the screen.
00:35:39.97\00:35:41.30
But I encourage you
to look up Micah 1:3-9.
00:35:41.34\00:35:45.24
Just read some
things right there.
00:35:45.27\00:35:46.88
Read Revelation Chapter
19, Revelation Chapter 18,
00:35:46.91\00:35:49.24
Revelation
Chapter 6, Genesis 4:10.
00:35:49.28\00:35:53.21
Read these
things and you will see.
00:35:53.25\00:35:55.92
So what is the
significance of these judgments?
00:35:55.95\00:36:00.39
Seven Testimonies, 83,
says this, notice this,
00:36:00.42\00:36:04.46
out of the cities is my message,
00:36:04.49\00:36:08.43
"The large
cities will be visited
00:36:08.46\00:36:10.27
by the judgments of God.
00:36:10.30\00:36:12.87
The ungodly cities of our world
00:36:12.90\00:36:15.17
are to be swept away by
the besom of destruction."
00:36:15.20\00:36:19.27
That means the
broom, besom means broom.
00:36:19.31\00:36:23.18
Why get out?
00:36:23.21\00:36:24.55
Because the cities
are going soon to be what?
00:36:24.58\00:36:26.38
Destroyed.
00:36:26.41\00:36:27.75
You said, "Well,
I can't believe it."
00:36:27.78\00:36:29.12
Do you see all the
devastation is going on?
00:36:29.15\00:36:31.29
That has gone on, especially,
in last several years?
00:36:31.32\00:36:34.36
Oh, my!
00:36:34.39\00:36:36.79
There's been towns, and
villages, and little cities
00:36:36.83\00:36:38.66
completely wiped off
of the face of the earth.
00:36:38.69\00:36:41.23
Because there's
destruction that's coming
00:36:45.03\00:36:46.74
and God wants
to save His people.
00:36:46.77\00:36:48.20
He's calling you to come out!
00:36:48.24\00:36:49.57
But you have to
be more obedient.
00:36:49.60\00:36:51.64
Hopefully, we'll say
00:36:51.67\00:36:53.01
more about that
a little later on.
00:36:53.04\00:36:55.44
This to me is just a
little bit of a precursor
00:36:55.48\00:36:58.91
to what's coming
upon this whole world.
00:36:58.95\00:37:00.95
Matthew Chapter 24,
00:37:00.98\00:37:02.75
the Bible talks about
it in verses 32 and 33.
00:37:02.78\00:37:06.39
Matthew 24:32-33.
00:37:06.42\00:37:10.16
It says, "Now learn
the parable of," what?
00:37:10.19\00:37:12.09
Good. "Parable of the fig tree.
00:37:12.13\00:37:13.66
When his branch is yet
00:37:13.70\00:37:15.60
tender and putteth forth leaves,
00:37:15.63\00:37:18.40
you know that," what?
00:37:18.43\00:37:19.77
"You know that summer
is nigh, so likewise ye,
00:37:19.80\00:37:22.04
when ye shall see,"
00:37:22.07\00:37:23.41
notice, "all of these things,
00:37:23.44\00:37:25.24
know that it is near," what?
00:37:25.27\00:37:27.28
The Coming of Jesus is
near, "Even at the doors."
00:37:27.31\00:37:30.65
I wonder how many of
us really believe that?
00:37:30.68\00:37:32.01
You may be a
Christian all your life,
00:37:32.05\00:37:33.38
you may not have been,
maybe you're a new Christian.
00:37:33.42\00:37:35.25
But how many really
believe with their whole heart
00:37:35.28\00:37:37.39
that the coming of
Jesus is really at the door?
00:37:37.42\00:37:39.39
If we believe that
He was at the door,
00:37:39.42\00:37:40.99
would we not conduct ourselves
a little bit differently?
00:37:41.02\00:37:43.69
Would our lives not be changing?
00:37:43.73\00:37:45.46
But we were not, you
know, spending time in prayer
00:37:45.49\00:37:47.40
and Bible study and say,
00:37:47.43\00:37:48.76
"God, what would
you have me be doing?"
00:37:48.80\00:37:50.23
What would you have to?
00:37:50.27\00:37:51.60
I want to do
things I need to give up.
00:37:51.63\00:37:52.97
I don't even know about Lord,
00:37:53.00\00:37:54.34
make them paramount in my life
00:37:54.37\00:37:55.70
that I might
turn them over to you
00:37:55.74\00:37:57.07
that I may gain the victory
so heaven can be my home.
00:37:57.11\00:37:59.21
City life.
00:38:02.24\00:38:04.08
See, we know that men
in the patriarchal age
00:38:04.11\00:38:08.32
help faster to
God's principles of life.
00:38:08.35\00:38:10.82
Why?
00:38:10.85\00:38:12.19
Because it says they
dwelt among the fields,
00:38:12.22\00:38:13.86
you remember that?
00:38:13.89\00:38:15.22
Oh, yes, but
fields on the hills,
00:38:15.26\00:38:17.06
they tilled the soil.
00:38:17.09\00:38:19.26
They kept flocks
and they kept purge.
00:38:19.29\00:38:22.53
And there was time for labor.
00:38:22.56\00:38:25.50
There was time for study.
00:38:25.53\00:38:26.94
There was time for meditation.
00:38:26.97\00:38:31.17
Now, here's the
interesting question.
00:38:31.21\00:38:32.91
Well, where in the world
00:38:32.94\00:38:34.28
or how did city
life really begin?
00:38:34.31\00:38:36.88
Let me just
read something to you
00:38:36.91\00:38:38.25
that hopefully will answer
may that question for you.
00:38:38.28\00:38:40.45
So how did city life began?
00:38:40.48\00:38:41.82
Notice, this,
Education 33 and 34.
00:38:41.85\00:38:45.15
Education, page 33 and 34.
00:38:45.19\00:38:47.72
That's what we read.
00:38:47.76\00:38:49.12
"Those who departed," Uh-oh.
00:38:49.16\00:38:51.93
"Those who," what?
00:38:51.96\00:38:53.29
"Those who departed from God
built for themselves cities."
00:38:53.33\00:38:58.80
See why God keeps
saying, "Get out of the city."
00:38:58.83\00:39:00.37
Those who, notice,
they've built the cities
00:39:00.40\00:39:03.04
and they congregated in
them just like people do now,
00:39:03.07\00:39:06.41
which we've been
warned an awful lot
00:39:06.44\00:39:07.81
about congregating
too many in one spot.
00:39:07.84\00:39:10.68
And will we listen? No.
00:39:10.71\00:39:14.45
Just allow me to go on
for a little bit, okay?
00:39:14.48\00:39:18.22
"Congregating in
them," notice this,
00:39:18.25\00:39:20.26
"gloried in the
splendor, and the luxury..."
00:39:20.29\00:39:24.13
You remember,
Nebuchadnezzar, what he did?
00:39:24.16\00:39:25.83
Uh-huh.
00:39:25.86\00:39:27.20
"And the vise
that made the cities
00:39:27.23\00:39:29.76
of today the world's pride,"
00:39:29.80\00:39:31.60
notice this,
00:39:31.63\00:39:32.97
that the same
time, "it's curse."
00:39:33.00\00:39:35.04
Cities are the curse,
00:39:35.07\00:39:36.50
too many people
together in one spot.
00:39:36.54\00:39:41.28
They built and
they congregated there.
00:39:41.31\00:39:44.45
But living in the
country, then in small towns,
00:39:44.48\00:39:47.78
we can preserve our
families from many evils.
00:39:47.82\00:39:53.59
Manuscript 94, 1903, says this,
00:39:53.62\00:39:56.73
"When iniquity, "
00:39:56.76\00:39:58.09
Manuscript 94, 1903,
00:39:58.13\00:40:00.13
"When iniquity
abounds in a nation,
00:40:00.16\00:40:04.07
there is always to
be heard some voice
00:40:04.10\00:40:06.13
giving warning and instruction,
00:40:06.17\00:40:08.60
as the voice of Lot,"
00:40:08.64\00:40:10.54
we talked about, you remember,
00:40:10.57\00:40:12.37
"was heard in Sodom, "
00:40:12.41\00:40:14.44
you didn't notice this yet,
00:40:14.48\00:40:15.81
"Lot could have preserved
his family from many evils
00:40:15.84\00:40:19.38
had he not made his home in
this wicked, polluted city."
00:40:19.41\00:40:25.79
Sometimes we have
a lot of bad things
00:40:25.82\00:40:27.29
going on in our
family and things going on.
00:40:27.32\00:40:28.66
Why?
00:40:28.69\00:40:30.03
Because maybe we
made the wrong decision.
00:40:30.06\00:40:31.83
And we made the wrong decision,
00:40:31.86\00:40:33.19
you know what,
God can change that,
00:40:33.23\00:40:34.56
we can ask God to forgive us,
00:40:34.60\00:40:35.93
lead us out of this place,
00:40:35.96\00:40:37.30
that we might be where
you would have us to be.
00:40:37.33\00:40:39.63
Remember,
cities are full of sin,
00:40:39.67\00:40:41.87
full of moral corruption.
00:40:41.90\00:40:44.04
They're polluted.
00:40:44.07\00:40:45.74
So we have to
simply make a choice.
00:40:45.77\00:40:47.84
We have to choose
where we're going to be
00:40:47.88\00:40:49.78
if we've made the wrong choice.
00:40:49.81\00:40:51.71
I've made plenty of them.
00:40:51.75\00:40:53.11
And God has been
merciful and good.
00:40:53.15\00:40:55.12
I'm sure to you
as well as to me.
00:40:55.15\00:40:57.29
As we see the error of
our way that we come to Him,
00:40:57.32\00:40:59.39
confessing that
00:40:59.42\00:41:00.76
and turning our
life back to Him.
00:41:00.79\00:41:02.76
Seven Testimonies,
81, makes this statement,
00:41:02.79\00:41:04.86
notice this, "Places
should be chosen," huh?
00:41:04.89\00:41:08.80
"Places should
be chosen," where?
00:41:08.83\00:41:10.73
"Away from the
dark clouds of sin
00:41:10.77\00:41:13.74
that hangs over
the great cities."
00:41:13.77\00:41:16.60
God said we
need to make choices,
00:41:16.64\00:41:17.97
we need to make decisions.
00:41:18.01\00:41:19.34
They need to be good decisions.
00:41:19.37\00:41:22.04
Why?
00:41:22.08\00:41:23.48
So that God can work with us?
00:41:23.51\00:41:25.58
You know how difficult
for Him to work with us
00:41:25.61\00:41:27.12
in these cities
that we're living in?
00:41:27.15\00:41:28.85
I'm just gonna read
00:41:28.88\00:41:30.22
three or four
words of Malachi 4:2
00:41:30.25\00:41:33.46
because remember,
00:41:33.49\00:41:34.82
we need to move out
where God can work for us,
00:41:34.86\00:41:37.36
notice because
there, Malachi 4:2 says,
00:41:37.39\00:41:39.79
"With healing in his wings."
00:41:39.83\00:41:42.20
Man, I need some
healing in my wings.
00:41:42.23\00:41:44.27
Now I know
00:41:44.30\00:41:45.63
you want that
healing in your wings,
00:41:45.67\00:41:47.00
but we need to put
ourselves in a place
00:41:47.04\00:41:48.70
where God can use us,
where He can work with us,
00:41:48.74\00:41:51.67
and give us this healing,
00:41:51.71\00:41:54.01
mentally,
physically, spiritually,
00:41:54.04\00:41:55.64
and maybe even financially.
00:41:55.68\00:41:59.81
So do we think that
these demonstrations,
00:41:59.85\00:42:02.68
we're talking about protests,
00:42:02.72\00:42:04.15
this, the
looting and the killing
00:42:04.19\00:42:06.45
and the thievery.
00:42:06.49\00:42:09.12
You say, "Well,
nobody's catching."
00:42:09.16\00:42:10.49
People see you on,
you know, television,
00:42:10.53\00:42:12.79
they see your face on there
00:42:12.83\00:42:14.16
and you're not
really worried about it.
00:42:14.20\00:42:15.53
But let me tell you,
there's a judgment coming.
00:42:15.56\00:42:17.50
The Bible says, you
know, "Thou shall not," what?
00:42:17.53\00:42:20.00
Good. "Thou shall not steal."
00:42:20.04\00:42:21.37
You can read
that in Exodus 20:15.
00:42:21.40\00:42:24.94
"Thou shall not," what?
00:42:24.97\00:42:26.31
"Thou shall not steal."
00:42:26.34\00:42:29.64
There's a day that's coming.
00:42:29.68\00:42:33.38
1 Corinthians 16,
00:42:33.42\00:42:34.75
and I don't have that on screen
but just this came to my mind.
00:42:34.78\00:42:36.45
1 Corinthians 16 talks about is
00:42:36.48\00:42:38.99
that no thief will enter heaven.
00:42:39.02\00:42:43.49
We need to really
think what's going on
00:42:43.53\00:42:45.56
and decisions we're making,
00:42:45.59\00:42:46.93
or are we just going
along with the crowd?
00:42:46.96\00:42:50.27
But God knows.
00:42:50.30\00:42:53.64
Because Zachariah makes
a comment, I'm not sure,
00:42:53.67\00:42:55.77
I think Chapter 5 says,
00:42:55.80\00:42:58.21
"Every everyone that
stealeth will be cut off."
00:42:58.24\00:43:03.18
Lord have mercy!
00:43:03.21\00:43:07.78
Is there
possibly an evil presence
00:43:07.82\00:43:11.15
that's taking and influencing
men and women of today?
00:43:11.19\00:43:14.19
Is that possible?
00:43:14.22\00:43:15.56
I believe that the
enemy has taken over the minds
00:43:15.59\00:43:17.53
of many people influencing them
00:43:17.56\00:43:20.40
to the point that
they've lost their mind.
00:43:20.43\00:43:23.87
God is calling us back.
00:43:23.90\00:43:26.90
The enemy is trying to take over
00:43:26.94\00:43:30.27
and so that he
can bring disaster
00:43:30.31\00:43:31.81
upon this earth.
00:43:31.84\00:43:33.17
That's his plan.
00:43:33.21\00:43:34.54
To get rid of
you, get rid of me,
00:43:34.58\00:43:35.91
get rid of this world.
00:43:35.94\00:43:37.75
Rebellion is a
sign of the last days.
00:43:37.78\00:43:42.15
Five Testimonies, 91,
says this, notice this,
00:43:42.18\00:43:44.49
rebellion is, what?
00:43:44.52\00:43:45.85
It's a sign of the last days.
00:43:45.89\00:43:48.59
Five Testimonies, 91, says,
00:43:48.62\00:43:50.63
"That spirit of
rebellion and defiance
00:43:50.66\00:43:54.80
which the apostle declares
00:43:54.83\00:43:56.77
is to be one of
the signs," what?
00:43:56.80\00:43:59.07
"Of the last days."
00:43:59.10\00:44:00.80
The spirit of, what?
00:44:00.84\00:44:02.17
We're seeing it
all over the place,
00:44:02.20\00:44:03.54
there's rebellion,
rebellion, rebellion.
00:44:03.57\00:44:05.34
People don't even want
to talk about obedience.
00:44:05.37\00:44:08.18
They want to talk
about rebellion all the time
00:44:08.21\00:44:09.88
and defiance,
which started in heaven,
00:44:09.91\00:44:12.51
it's down here on
this earth right now.
00:44:12.55\00:44:14.85
And the enemy's got
people doing rebelling,
00:44:14.88\00:44:16.95
going against law,
going against order,
00:44:16.99\00:44:19.32
not wanting to
do the right thing.
00:44:19.35\00:44:21.39
And the enemy is
saying, this is good,
00:44:21.42\00:44:22.79
this is what I
have planned for them.
00:44:22.82\00:44:25.93
I mean, what do you see
00:44:25.96\00:44:27.30
going on in our
streets and in the world today?
00:44:27.33\00:44:31.70
What can it be contributed to?
00:44:31.73\00:44:33.10
I mean, there must be
something that's going on
00:44:33.13\00:44:34.87
that we can say,
00:44:34.90\00:44:36.24
"Oh, I can see why the
world is doing these things.
00:44:36.27\00:44:38.27
It must be
contributed to something here."
00:44:38.31\00:44:41.44
Prophets and Kings,
page 185, says this,
00:44:41.48\00:44:45.61
"There is a growing
contempt for law and order,
00:44:45.65\00:44:49.85
directly traceable,"
00:44:49.88\00:44:51.22
notice this, "to a
violation of the plain,"
00:44:51.25\00:44:54.42
notice this, "plain
commands of Jehovah.
00:44:54.46\00:44:57.56
Violence and
crime are the result
00:44:57.59\00:45:00.70
of turning aside from
the path of obedience."
00:45:00.73\00:45:04.00
Wow!
00:45:04.03\00:45:06.23
That's heavy
duty. Out of the cities!
00:45:06.27\00:45:07.64
Out of the cities now,
00:45:07.67\00:45:09.00
while there's still time,
00:45:09.04\00:45:11.27
we realize as the Sunday
law approaches and is passed,
00:45:11.31\00:45:14.28
I won't say the
last would be warning.
00:45:14.31\00:45:16.14
You've got to go
00:45:16.18\00:45:17.81
but wouldn't be nice to
make preparations right now?
00:45:17.85\00:45:19.51
Because what?
00:45:19.55\00:45:20.88
The last movements
will be rapid ones,
00:45:20.92\00:45:22.25
you may not have time.
00:45:22.28\00:45:23.62
You've got to do it now
00:45:23.65\00:45:24.99
as the Holy
Spirit's impressing you
00:45:25.02\00:45:26.35
to make preparations.
00:45:26.39\00:45:27.86
Why?
00:45:27.89\00:45:29.22
Because things
will only get worse.
00:45:29.26\00:45:30.59
2 Timothy 3:13.
00:45:30.63\00:45:32.49
2 Timothy 3:13,
00:45:32.53\00:45:33.86
just a part of it
says, "It will wax," what?
00:45:33.90\00:45:35.93
Better and better?
00:45:35.96\00:45:37.30
No, it will wax worse and worse
00:45:37.33\00:45:39.80
to the coming of the Lord.
00:45:39.83\00:45:41.47
Isn't that
right, 2 Timothy 3:13?
00:45:41.50\00:45:43.34
Think about, what
will prevent the world
00:45:49.08\00:45:51.98
from become
another second Sodom?
00:45:52.01\00:45:55.28
Is there something
that can prevent us
00:45:55.32\00:45:56.99
from becoming
another Sodom and Gomorrah?
00:45:57.02\00:46:00.69
The next few verses,
I want to read from you,
00:46:00.72\00:46:02.49
if you've heard nothing
else, please just listen.
00:46:02.52\00:46:06.09
It's like taking something
00:46:06.13\00:46:07.46
out of the
daily paper right now.
00:46:07.50\00:46:10.67
Written this, you know,
150 years, 160 years ago,
00:46:10.70\00:46:13.23
it couldn't possibly
lest it's inspired by God.
00:46:13.27\00:46:15.57
How could this go on?
00:46:15.60\00:46:16.94
Notice, Education, page 228,
00:46:16.97\00:46:21.31
just like the
issues facing us today,
00:46:21.34\00:46:23.65
remember written many years ago.
00:46:23.68\00:46:26.35
There's every point,
I'll try to take it slow.
00:46:26.38\00:46:28.22
It says, "At the same time
00:46:28.25\00:46:30.25
anarchy is seeking
to sweep away all law."
00:46:30.29\00:46:33.46
Is there anarchy? Absolutely.
00:46:33.49\00:46:35.36
You hear it every day,
you see it in the papers,
00:46:35.39\00:46:37.26
you hear the people on
TV, and the news and so on.
00:46:37.29\00:46:39.49
Anarchy is
sweeping away all law.
00:46:39.53\00:46:41.96
"Not only divine, but," what?
00:46:42.00\00:46:43.77
The human.
00:46:43.80\00:46:45.13
Notice this,
00:46:45.17\00:46:46.50
here do we see
this in the world?
00:46:46.53\00:46:47.87
There is, "The centralizing
of wealth and power,
00:46:47.90\00:46:52.81
the vast combination
for the enriching of the few
00:46:52.84\00:46:56.58
at the expense of many."
00:46:56.61\00:46:58.41
Do we see that? Absolutely.
00:46:58.45\00:47:00.55
"Combinations of
the poorer classes
00:47:00.58\00:47:03.18
for the defense of
their interest and claims,"
00:47:03.22\00:47:06.49
notice this,
"the spirit of unrest,
00:47:06.52\00:47:09.62
and of riot and of bloodshed,
00:47:09.66\00:47:13.40
world-wide dissension,"
00:47:13.43\00:47:14.83
no, "dissemination
of the same teaching
00:47:14.86\00:47:17.50
that led to the
French Revolution."
00:47:17.53\00:47:21.27
Same things that
are going on today.
00:47:21.30\00:47:23.37
Do you notice, unrest, riot,
bloodshed, wealth and power,
00:47:23.41\00:47:28.74
centralizing all this wealth,
doing away with all the laws?
00:47:28.78\00:47:32.41
With all of
life's problems, dangers,
00:47:36.15\00:47:41.16
I can say a
simple, simple answer.
00:47:41.19\00:47:44.26
Our only safety for
society and for nature,
00:47:44.29\00:47:49.20
and for a nation
00:47:49.23\00:47:51.07
is to simply do
what God says to do.
00:47:51.10\00:47:54.74
That's pretty simple, isn't it?
00:47:54.77\00:47:56.14
God's given us
instructions in His book
00:47:56.17\00:47:57.77
and if we follow that book,
00:47:57.81\00:47:59.14
all will be
well, but if we don't,
00:47:59.17\00:48:01.01
judgments are falling
00:48:01.04\00:48:02.38
and they're falling in the land.
00:48:02.41\00:48:03.75
Psalms 19:8,
quickly as we move along.
00:48:03.78\00:48:06.11
It says, "The statues
of the Lord are," what?
00:48:06.15\00:48:08.35
Psalms 19:8, I'm
just reading part of it,
00:48:08.38\00:48:10.39
"The statues of
the Lord are right."
00:48:10.42\00:48:14.12
Didn't say they were wrong,
00:48:14.16\00:48:15.49
it didn't say we'll
think it over and decide,
00:48:15.52\00:48:16.86
well, they are the
statues, the rules, right,
00:48:16.89\00:48:18.86
the laws of God are right,
00:48:18.89\00:48:21.23
whose man with a bones
00:48:21.26\00:48:22.63
that he has to stand
in the face of God said
00:48:22.66\00:48:24.30
that's not what it means.
00:48:24.33\00:48:25.97
Surely, you wouldn't do that.
00:48:26.00\00:48:27.64
Statues, the
laws of God are right.
00:48:27.67\00:48:32.57
Psalms 15:5, the Bible says,
00:48:32.61\00:48:36.18
"He that doeth these things, "
00:48:36.21\00:48:38.21
Psalms 15:5,
"shall never be moved."
00:48:38.25\00:48:42.12
If you do these things,
you shall never be moved,
00:48:42.15\00:48:43.95
but remember
people are moved around,
00:48:43.99\00:48:45.32
there by every wind
of doctrine they tried,
00:48:45.35\00:48:46.72
'cause they're not
studying with the Word of God.
00:48:46.76\00:48:48.79
They're not doing
00:48:48.82\00:48:50.16
what God has said
to do in His Word.
00:48:50.19\00:48:51.53
When God says,
00:48:51.56\00:48:52.89
"This is what
I'll cause you to write
00:48:52.93\00:48:54.26
on a high places of the earth,"
00:48:54.30\00:48:55.63
that's exactly what He means.
00:48:55.66\00:48:57.00
Well, he says, "I'm
going to provide for you
00:48:57.03\00:48:58.37
when there seemed like
there's no way to get it with."
00:48:58.40\00:49:00.24
Your bread and
water is going to be sure.
00:49:00.27\00:49:02.47
You can't make a house
payment, you don't have a job.
00:49:02.50\00:49:04.27
God said, "I'm like
that pain before you,
00:49:04.31\00:49:05.67
I got somebody in mind.
00:49:05.71\00:49:07.04
I'm going to take care of you."
00:49:07.08\00:49:08.41
You can count on that.
00:49:08.44\00:49:10.01
Don't get discouraged.
00:49:10.05\00:49:11.38
Luke 10:27,
Bible plainly, it says,
00:49:11.41\00:49:14.65
"Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with," what?
00:49:14.68\00:49:17.22
"With all thy
heart," notice, get down,
00:49:17.25\00:49:19.05
"and thy neighbor as thyself."
00:49:19.09\00:49:21.22
Lots going on
in the world today,
00:49:21.26\00:49:22.79
can we possibly say
we love our neighbors?
00:49:22.82\00:49:25.36
Absolutely not.
00:49:25.39\00:49:26.73
And not do what's
being done right now.
00:49:26.76\00:49:31.13
We have to love our neighbors,
00:49:31.17\00:49:32.67
love Jesus with our whole heart.
00:49:32.70\00:49:35.70
You know, let me read some
that may be a little touchy.
00:49:35.74\00:49:38.21
Some of you may not be
able to take it and others...
00:49:38.24\00:49:40.94
Well, you need
to hear it anyway.
00:49:40.98\00:49:44.15
Nine Testimonies, 207-208,
00:49:44.18\00:49:45.75
now it's couple of pages
pretty heavy duty right there.
00:49:45.78\00:49:47.68
I'm just gonna take a
little quote out of this.
00:49:47.72\00:49:50.52
Do we believe
that time is advancing?
00:49:50.55\00:49:52.69
Do we believe the
coming of the Lord
00:49:52.72\00:49:54.06
is nearer than it was yesterday?
00:49:54.09\00:49:55.69
Sure, we do.
00:49:55.72\00:49:57.96
Then we have to
be ready for that.
00:49:57.99\00:49:59.39
But see you here is another sign
00:49:59.43\00:50:00.93
so that you can know,
00:50:00.96\00:50:03.13
so that you can know
beyond a shadow of a doubt.
00:50:03.16\00:50:05.13
Notice, "As time advances,
00:50:05.17\00:50:08.67
race prejudices
will increase." What?
00:50:08.70\00:50:14.91
I thought we had
it all ironed out,
00:50:14.94\00:50:17.25
been going on for,
what, 150, 160 years,
00:50:17.28\00:50:19.31
you know, everything
should all been worked out,
00:50:19.35\00:50:20.68
all the things
should have been good.
00:50:20.72\00:50:22.05
But as we get closer
to the coming of Jesus,
00:50:22.08\00:50:24.32
it's been prophesied
that there will be a, peoples,
00:50:24.35\00:50:26.69
there'll be uprisings
between black and white
00:50:26.72\00:50:30.13
and whatever color you
want to throw in there.
00:50:30.16\00:50:32.93
Satan's working
00:50:36.30\00:50:37.97
to stir up
problems between people.
00:50:38.00\00:50:41.70
And that means every color.
00:50:41.74\00:50:44.37
He's always stirring,
he's always causing problems.
00:50:44.41\00:50:47.41
Notice this statement,
Nine Testimonies, 208,
00:50:50.48\00:50:54.92
yeah, it gets a little
stronger and it gets worse.
00:50:54.95\00:50:57.15
But you know what?
00:50:57.19\00:50:58.52
I've witnessed these things
00:50:58.55\00:50:59.89
I've heard these
things take place.
00:50:59.92\00:51:01.62
It tells me that
probation is about to close.
00:51:01.66\00:51:04.73
But there's going to
be some brutal things
00:51:04.76\00:51:06.19
taking place
just like right now.
00:51:06.23\00:51:08.36
Notice what it says.
00:51:11.83\00:51:13.40
It says, "White
ministers and colored ministers
00:51:13.44\00:51:17.21
will make false statements,
00:51:17.24\00:51:19.97
arousing in the
mind of the people
00:51:20.01\00:51:21.91
such a feeling of antagonism
00:51:21.94\00:51:24.81
that they will be
ready to destroy and kill."
00:51:24.85\00:51:29.65
That's pretty
heavy duty, is it not?
00:51:29.68\00:51:31.95
So you can throw
it out if you want.
00:51:31.99\00:51:33.99
But is that not happening today?
00:51:34.02\00:51:36.12
You get somebody with
a bullhorn on the streets
00:51:36.16\00:51:37.59
is going on right now.
00:51:37.63\00:51:38.96
And they get
people all worked up,
00:51:38.99\00:51:40.33
pretty soon somebody is
dead over there in the corner.
00:51:40.36\00:51:44.13
And everything's told
them, the Pope is not true,
00:51:44.17\00:51:45.90
as you will know.
00:51:45.93\00:51:48.17
Keep your mind
open, keep your minds open
00:51:48.20\00:51:49.97
so we can see false
statements and what?
00:51:50.01\00:51:51.44
People get in
00:51:51.47\00:51:52.81
and they start
talking about these things.
00:51:52.84\00:51:54.18
Pretty soon we become emotional!
00:51:54.21\00:51:55.78
And all of sudden we're torn up
00:51:55.81\00:51:57.31
and we're not
getting a fair shake
00:51:57.35\00:51:58.85
and we're out to
kill, will kill them,
00:51:58.88\00:52:01.42
will destroy them is
what this article says.
00:52:01.45\00:52:04.72
It's been happening for years.
00:52:04.75\00:52:06.32
This is nothing new. Come on.
00:52:06.35\00:52:09.09
To be antagonistic
simply means opposition,
00:52:09.12\00:52:13.63
active opposition.
00:52:13.66\00:52:16.60
It's that which is against,
00:52:16.63\00:52:18.83
it's that which is
you could call hostility.
00:52:18.87\00:52:22.40
Should a
Christian have hostility
00:52:22.44\00:52:23.87
against another
brother or sister
00:52:23.91\00:52:26.17
and regardless of what
they look like or what?
00:52:26.21\00:52:27.98
Absolutely not.
00:52:28.01\00:52:29.71
We're created equal.
00:52:29.74\00:52:31.65
God loves us.
00:52:31.68\00:52:33.01
He doesn't look at
the color of the skin.
00:52:33.05\00:52:34.38
You and I shouldn't look
at the color of the skin.
00:52:34.42\00:52:36.58
God said to look
inside that individual.
00:52:36.62\00:52:40.56
But you know we've
forgotten to do that,
00:52:40.59\00:52:42.99
but we need to.
00:52:43.02\00:52:45.69
May I read something
else, still pretty heavy duty.
00:52:45.73\00:52:48.03
I only do these so
we wake up and say,
00:52:48.06\00:52:49.96
"You know, this is the
hour. This is the hour."
00:52:50.00\00:52:52.97
How much worse
can it get? It will.
00:52:53.00\00:52:55.57
Nine Testimonies,
213, notice what it says.
00:52:55.60\00:52:59.14
Now do you believe this?
00:52:59.17\00:53:00.51
This is Satan's
plan to call minds
00:53:00.54\00:53:02.24
to study of the colored line.
00:53:02.28\00:53:04.48
Now I always thought
00:53:04.51\00:53:05.85
white was a color
and black is a color,
00:53:05.88\00:53:07.22
and brown is the color.
00:53:07.25\00:53:08.58
Come on stay with me.
00:53:08.62\00:53:09.95
See, some people
get all tied about.
00:53:09.98\00:53:11.32
There's no use to do that.
00:53:11.35\00:53:12.82
We're talking about
black and white issues.
00:53:12.85\00:53:14.19
Notice it,
00:53:14.22\00:53:15.56
the devil is going to
call attention to, what?
00:53:15.59\00:53:17.79
Black and white
issues, it's that simple.
00:53:17.83\00:53:20.56
To stir up problems,
00:53:20.60\00:53:22.43
though, you can't work together,
00:53:22.46\00:53:23.80
you can't church together,
00:53:23.83\00:53:26.30
if we let the enemy come in.
00:53:26.33\00:53:27.67
That's not God's plan. Notice.
00:53:27.70\00:53:30.31
Notice, "If his
suggestions are heeded,
00:53:30.34\00:53:34.21
there will be
diversity of opinions
00:53:34.24\00:53:37.31
and great confusions."
00:53:37.35\00:53:40.38
Oh my! Do we see that?
00:53:40.42\00:53:42.62
Absolutely, there
is, almost everything.
00:53:42.65\00:53:44.22
Beside, one person
that makes this statement,
00:53:44.25\00:53:45.82
the other makes
exactly the opposite.
00:53:45.85\00:53:47.89
Sounds kind of
political, doesn't it?
00:53:47.92\00:53:51.23
Let me read one more quote
00:53:51.26\00:53:52.59
as time is going
right down almost here.
00:53:52.63\00:53:54.83
Nine Testimonies, 214 says this.
00:53:54.86\00:53:58.83
Ellen White wrote this.
00:53:58.87\00:54:00.20
It says, "The
relation of the two races,
00:54:00.24\00:54:03.00
black and white,
00:54:03.04\00:54:04.37
had been a matter
hard to deal with,
00:54:04.41\00:54:09.04
and I fear
00:54:09.08\00:54:10.61
that it will ever remain
a most perplexing problem."
00:54:10.65\00:54:16.38
See, it doesn't have to be
the heart is right with God.
00:54:16.42\00:54:18.99
It's because
hearts are not right.
00:54:19.02\00:54:20.69
Are you still there?
00:54:20.72\00:54:22.06
It's because hearts
are not right with God.
00:54:22.09\00:54:25.06
You can't be looting and killing
00:54:25.09\00:54:26.73
and throwing bricks at people
00:54:26.76\00:54:28.10
and carrying on like we're doing
00:54:28.13\00:54:29.46
to try to prove a point
00:54:29.50\00:54:30.83
that maybe at
some point need to be.
00:54:30.87\00:54:32.20
But you know what
I'm talking about here.
00:54:32.23\00:54:33.57
And then next week we're sitting
00:54:33.60\00:54:35.07
in the pews of the
church, what's wrong?
00:54:35.10\00:54:37.07
Something said dreadfully wrong.
00:54:37.11\00:54:40.58
And you know, what
are we really seeing?
00:54:40.61\00:54:42.58
What are we really
seeing in our cities today?
00:54:42.61\00:54:45.71
Put my glasses on here,
00:54:45.75\00:54:47.08
I'm gonna read a
couple things real quick here
00:54:47.12\00:54:48.45
before we wrap it up.
00:54:48.48\00:54:49.82
What are we seeing
in our cities today?
00:54:49.85\00:54:51.45
Notice, Manuscript
50, 1903 says this.
00:54:51.49\00:54:55.22
What we've been talking about?
00:54:55.26\00:54:56.89
It says here,
"The time has come,
00:54:56.93\00:54:59.93
when, as God opens the way,
00:54:59.96\00:55:02.23
families should
move out of the cities."
00:55:02.26\00:55:05.60
Kind of interesting, is it not?
00:55:05.63\00:55:07.17
Time has come!
00:55:07.20\00:55:09.40
Family should
move out of the cities.
00:55:09.44\00:55:10.77
And I realized,
someone will say,
00:55:10.81\00:55:12.14
"Well it's when the Sunday law,"
00:55:12.17\00:55:13.51
blah, blah, blah.
00:55:13.54\00:55:14.88
Time has come.
00:55:14.91\00:55:16.24
We see what's happening
00:55:16.28\00:55:17.61
and it's only going to get worse
00:55:17.65\00:55:18.98
'cause that's
what the Bible said.
00:55:19.01\00:55:20.65
"Review and Herald," 9/27/1906.
00:55:20.68\00:55:24.59
Man, this is
written in 1906, says this,
00:55:24.62\00:55:28.26
"More and more,
as time advances,
00:55:28.29\00:55:30.29
our people will have
to leave the cities."
00:55:30.33\00:55:34.90
What was that?
00:55:34.93\00:55:36.26
"More and more, as time advances
00:55:36.30\00:55:37.63
our people will have
to leave the cities."
00:55:37.67\00:55:39.57
Are you prepared to do that?
00:55:39.60\00:55:40.94
Do you love Jesus
with your whole heart,
00:55:40.97\00:55:42.57
your whole mind?
00:55:42.60\00:55:44.27
This is important.
00:55:44.31\00:55:45.64
I'll read one more
quote, and will be done.
00:55:45.67\00:55:48.18
Five
Testimonies, 464, says this.
00:55:48.21\00:55:51.45
And we know, "As
the siege of Jerusalem
00:55:51.48\00:55:53.21
by the Roman Armies
00:55:53.25\00:55:54.58
was the signal to flight
for the Judean Christians,
00:55:54.62\00:55:57.32
so the assumption of
power on the part of our nation
00:55:57.35\00:56:01.06
in the decree
enforcing the Papal Sabbath
00:56:01.09\00:56:03.32
or Sunday will
be a warning to us.
00:56:03.36\00:56:06.16
It will then be time to
leave the large cities."
00:56:06.19\00:56:09.80
Move out!
00:56:09.83\00:56:11.17
Move out under direction of God!
00:56:11.20\00:56:14.00
Bible, I think is just clear.
00:56:14.04\00:56:15.37
I know you understand this.
00:56:15.40\00:56:17.77
God's putting a call in.
00:56:17.81\00:56:19.41
He's sounding a trumpet warning.
00:56:19.44\00:56:23.11
Will you heed?
00:56:23.14\00:56:24.65
Will I heed?
00:56:24.68\00:56:26.41
Will I listen?
00:56:26.45\00:56:28.88
There's too much evidence.
00:56:28.92\00:56:30.72
There's too
much evidence to say,
00:56:30.75\00:56:32.09
"Well, no, I don't see
all these things happening."
00:56:32.12\00:56:34.06
Oh, yes, and much more.
00:56:34.09\00:56:37.76
Jesus is coming soon.
00:56:37.79\00:56:39.79
It may be
morning, night, or noon.
00:56:39.83\00:56:42.96
Many will meet their doom.
00:56:43.00\00:56:45.43
Trumpets will sound.
00:56:45.47\00:56:47.87
Are you ready for
the coming of Jesus?
00:56:47.90\00:56:49.47
Do you want to
get ready for Jesus?
00:56:49.50\00:56:51.07
Signs of the time are here.
00:56:51.11\00:56:52.44
Give your life to Him today.
00:56:52.47\00:56:54.14
There's still hope.
00:56:54.18\00:56:55.51
There's still encouragement.
00:56:55.54\00:56:56.88
He's still in control.
00:56:56.91\00:56:58.25
I'd like to just pray,
00:56:58.28\00:56:59.61
would it be okay
to pray with you,
00:56:59.65\00:57:00.98
just before we close
in the last few seconds?
00:57:01.02\00:57:02.48
Pray with me. Let's pray.
00:57:02.52\00:57:05.49
Our kind loving Heavenly Father,
00:57:05.52\00:57:06.86
we thank You for
Your love and Your mercy.
00:57:06.89\00:57:08.39
Thank You for Your Word,
00:57:08.42\00:57:09.86
may be a little
difficult but we pray
00:57:09.89\00:57:11.23
that we'll all
chew on that Word.
00:57:11.26\00:57:13.16
We pray for the power
of thy Holy Spirit now,
00:57:13.19\00:57:15.30
convict, convert, and
bring us to a point in time
00:57:15.33\00:57:17.57
that we're ready
for Jesus to come.
00:57:17.60\00:57:19.23
And help us to be ready
00:57:19.27\00:57:20.60
for that great
and wonderful day.
00:57:20.64\00:57:21.97
We thank You for hearing.
00:57:22.00\00:57:23.34
Thank You for answering,
thank You for being our God.
00:57:23.37\00:57:25.14
Thank You for loving
us, in Jesus' name, amen.
00:57:25.17\00:57:27.91
