Let's just start... 05:41 We always want to pray, 05:42 and I'm thankful you pray along with me. 05:44 I'm gonna kneel up here 05:45 and if you'd like to kneel with me wonderful. 05:47 You may be driving the car and listening and whatever, 05:49 just, you know, pray God's gonna hear you. 05:51 I know He's gonna answer prayer. 05:52 Let's pray. 05:53 Loving Father in heaven, 05:55 we thank You for the privilege of prayer. 05:56 We thank You that we can call you're a Father, 05:58 we ask now for the Thy Holy Spirit, 06:00 ask for forgiveness of sin, 06:02 anything in our hearts in life needs not be there. 06:05 Lord, we need to be clean, clean heart, clean hands, 06:07 clean mind, that Your Holy Spirit can dwell 06:09 and live in us. 06:11 And we pray that Your present 06:12 what needs to be presented today 06:14 and that which does not need to be presented will not. 06:16 Believe it in thy care and thy keeping 06:18 and conviction of the Holy Spirit now 06:20 upon each one as we study the Word together, 06:22 as we thank You for everyone in Jesus' name, amen. 06:27 Again, the title is Babylon's Wine. 06:30 And then as I mentioned before, our subject is a sister message 06:33 to the one we have been doing 06:35 'cause we set a lot of the foundation 06:36 then we talk about Babylon's Wine 06:38 and the poisonous doctrines, 06:40 but we're gonna get into 06:41 specifics this times, specifics. 06:43 And when we look at that, 06:45 we look at the message and we're gonna say, 06:46 "Okay, now if we are teaching 06:48 and believing in this right here, 06:50 that's Babylon. 06:51 If we're not, then we want to talk about 06:53 God's last day church is true church." 06:56 We need we realize 06:57 anything that's poison is dangerous, right? 07:01 Do you ever look at bottles? Right? 07:02 When you look at bottles, and you see things there, 07:04 and it says poison on it. 07:05 What do you do? "Oh! 07:07 Oh, I don't want poison, right?" 07:08 It's dangerous, it's harmful, it can kill you, 07:11 and the same with the doctrines 07:13 we're talking about teachings of the enemy. 07:15 They are dangerous, they can kill you, 07:17 and they will, not only in this life, 07:18 and then life to come. 07:21 I'm gonna read something I call 8 Testimonies, 07:23 Spirit of Prophecy 300, 8T 300, please keep this in mind 07:27 because we're going to be looking not only 07:29 what is name 3 or 4 different Babylonians teachings 07:31 and doctrines that infiltrated 07:33 almost every church in the world, 07:35 and in several that the pioneers encountered, 07:38 that Gods gives specific instruction on. 07:41 And so we want to look at those two, 07:42 as time allows us to do that. 07:44 8 Testimonies 300 says this, "Do not present theories," 07:50 notice, "or tests that Christ never mentioned." 07:55 I think that's good, don't you? That solid. 07:57 If Christ didn't mention it, didn't teach on it, 07:59 didn't preach on you it, it say didn't mean, 08:01 then it's good for us to be silent also. 08:04 And that have no foundation in the Bible. 08:07 So every subject should have its foundation, where? 08:10 In the Bible, the Word of God, and we go back to say, 08:14 in Matthew 4:4, it says, "It is written." 08:16 Jesus always used what? 08:18 Get a little foundation. Come on little... 08:20 It is written. It is written. Jesus always use that. 08:24 And if when you go against the enemy, 08:26 as it were through the power of the Holy Spirit, 08:28 should come out of our mouth, what? 08:29 It is written. This is what God has said. 08:31 This is why I do or I don't, 08:34 this is the where it's written in the Word of God. 08:36 We all must come to a point, thus saith the Lord. 08:41 To be on a safe ground, 08:43 we must always do that 'cause I don't know about you, 08:46 but I think I've come to a point in my life 08:48 that I've had enough, if you allow me to say that, 08:51 I've had enough of the saith man. 08:54 I mean, I've had my... 08:56 I've had my belly full. 08:58 Is it okay, say that too? 09:00 I've had my belly full of those, saith man. 09:03 And I'll be honest with you, 09:04 I've had a pretty good sized belly 09:05 full of thus saith the church. 09:09 And I'll stretch it a little bit farther here. 09:11 I've problem with the saith the programs 09:14 dealing with the mind control, dealing with, you know, 09:19 the posturing and dealing with, you know, 09:23 channeling and emptying our minds 09:25 and just let the Spirit come in. 09:27 Be careful, the wrong spirit will come in. 09:31 You know, if your mind just start 09:32 repeating words over and over and over, 09:34 you don't want to do any of that. 09:36 Now thus saith the Lord. 09:38 Now I'm gonna ask you a question here 09:40 because we wanna get right into 09:41 what should be occupying our minds today? 09:45 Absolutely, Jesus has to be there. 09:47 He's the theme, isn't it? He occupied our minds. 09:49 God has given us a specific message, 09:51 but it just it never fails regardless 09:54 of what you read how clear it is, 09:57 from the Bible or from the Spirit of Prophecy, 09:59 we will think that we most time we're exception. 10:03 We'll say... Think about it. 10:04 Well, I know what it says as clear it can be 10:07 and that's all right for them, 10:08 but I think the way I'm looking at it, 10:10 this is the way I need to do it. 10:12 We need to be very, very careful with that. 10:14 Notice what should occupy our mind 10:16 as 8 Testimonies 302 says this 8T, 302 says this. 10:21 See, if it's not in harmony with Scripture, 10:24 a solemn, notice this, you know, 10:26 should it be COVID-19 occupying our mind? 10:29 Should it be the economy occupying our mind? 10:31 Should it be the election is going on? 10:33 That's all we hear about. 10:35 That's all we're hearing about. 10:37 All these things that's blowing our minds 10:39 why I can't wait for the elections over. 10:44 I should just leave it at that, right? 10:46 Okay. What? 10:47 Yes, we need to be focusing as Christians on what? 10:51 God has, you know, 10:52 told us that He wants us to do His instructive. 10:54 Notice, what it says here, 10:56 "The solemn messages has been given 10:58 in their order in Revelation to occupy the first place 11:02 in the minds of God's people." 11:05 So again, good counsel, 11:06 studying the Book of Daniel and what? 11:08 And the Book of Revelation, as God is, you know, 11:11 opening up the doors and windows 11:12 that we can peek in, we can see what's taking place, 11:15 what is taking place, and what will take place. 11:18 Notice it, notice it goes, it says, 11:21 "Nothing else is to be allowed to engross our attention." 11:26 Nothing else. 11:28 Solemn message God has given in the Book of Revelation. 11:31 That's what three angels' message. 11:34 Nothing is occupy the mind, but the giving of these things, 11:36 but yet a lot of other things occupy our time 11:39 and our energy and our messages, 11:41 but yet, we're told that it shouldn't. 11:44 If we study the Book of Daniel in Revelation, 11:46 we will find out only the answers, you know, 11:49 to all of our questions right now, right now, 11:52 the past and right now again and into the future. 11:57 God wants us to know what's taking place. 11:59 He wants us to know, 12:01 we're confronted with this thing called Babylon, 12:04 and the teachings of Babylon. 12:06 I would ask the first question for me 12:07 who makes up Babylon? 12:10 We'll get into a little bit more here 12:12 because many people, 12:14 even within the Advent movement says that 12:17 the Seventh-day Adventist Church is Babylon. 12:19 Should we go that far with it? 12:21 Now just think about it, go around it... 12:23 Now again, I'm gonna make it clear upfront, 12:25 there's some Babylonian things right in the middle of it. 12:28 There's apostasy right in the middle of it 12:31 but how far do we go? 12:33 Remember, where do you go around the world 12:34 that you can find people 12:36 that at least hopefully agree upon keeping 12:38 the commandments of God 12:39 and have the testimony of Jesus. 12:43 And so let's just think about it 12:44 for a moment here and keep our minds 12:46 and hearts open, who really makes up Babylon? 12:50 Now let's start with this. 12:52 I know who doesn't make up Babylon. 12:55 I know who doesn't make up Babylon. 12:57 It's those whoever it might be 12:59 those who keep the commandments of God, 13:02 and notice this and walk in the light of truth. 13:05 Now remember, 13:06 that's going to sort through an awful lot of people. 13:09 Remember, well, we believe in keeping the commandments of God 13:12 but do we believe in walking in all the light 13:14 that God shows us. 13:15 And are we walking in all of the life 13:17 that God show? 13:18 That tells you right then that is not Babylon, 13:20 that's not confusion 13:22 'cause we're talking about Babylon here, 13:24 a place that God says 13:25 His wrath is going to come down on 13:27 because they refuse the light that He's given. 13:30 They're making up their own rules 13:32 as they go and their own doctrines. 13:35 Interesting, 13:36 I love a book Testimonies to Ministers. 13:37 I read it all the time. 13:39 And page 61 makes this, it's just a few words, 13:41 but more does it really come alive to me. 13:43 It says now notice this, "The fallen," what? 13:47 "The fallen denominational churches 13:50 are Babylon." 13:53 Now I either throw it out 13:54 or I accept it but if I throw that out, 13:57 then you might throw out something else down the road. 13:59 We have to be careful 14:01 what we take out or what we say... 14:03 Well, I know, but we... That's just a... 14:07 What it says here is, notice, 14:08 "The fallen denominational churches 14:11 are Babylon." 14:13 Now how can we tell who is Babylon, you know, 14:16 how can we identify it then? 14:20 Again, Testimonies to Ministers 61 says 14:22 what is Babylon been doing? 14:24 "Babylon has been," notice this, 14:25 "fostering poisonous doctrines, the wine of error." 14:31 See, that's why we've been offering, 14:33 and then you've seen it, the first of the program here, 14:35 The Great Controversy. 14:36 This is one of the best books you can read right now. 14:39 Every person around the world needs this book. 14:42 We need this book, The Great Controversy 14:44 because it really been the controversy 14:46 between good and evil, and how it goes, 14:49 how the battle goes, 14:50 and who's victorious at the end. 14:52 If you really want to know 14:53 what's taking place in the world today, 14:54 it's going to boil down to a real spiritual battle, 14:57 and you're gonna have to take sides. 14:59 See, today sometimes 15:00 at Seventh-day Adventist church, we say... 15:02 I feel like we're the remnant church. 15:04 Does anybody talking to me? 15:06 This is a remnant church, right? 15:07 Keep the commandments of God, testimony of Jesus, 15:10 but everybody says they belong to church 15:12 it's not going to be saved in the kingdom. 15:14 We're not saved by denomination. 15:16 We're saved by the grace of God, 15:17 isn't that right? 15:19 It's very important that we understand scripture 15:21 and how we, you know, stand instead of drinking that wine 15:24 because some people, even the last day movement 15:26 are sipping wine. 15:30 Well, there may not be drunk with it, 15:31 but they're sipping enough, they're a little bit... 15:33 I thought tipsy, 15:34 they're not thinking quite clearly 15:36 because they'll read it 15:37 thus saith the Lord and then they'll say, 15:38 "But, but I think it's okay if we do this 15:42 because the end result is..." 15:44 God never said... 15:45 I don't see where He says that in His Word. 15:48 He makes it very clear His thought 15:52 and what He would have us to be doing in our beliefs. 15:57 It's not drinking of this wine. 15:59 So what are some of these poisonous doctrines? 16:03 Now make this clear, I want to make it clear. 16:06 If these doctrines... 16:08 And we're just gonna mention like four of them, 16:10 and then go into some other things there, again, 16:12 that the errors that the enemy has been throwing in, you know, 16:15 days of our pioneers even, in fact, on every beginning, 16:18 no doubt about it. 16:20 But if these doctrines that we're mentioning here, 16:24 these teachings are taught in your church. 16:27 If they're taught in your church, 16:30 and you accept them as truth, 16:33 then your church fits into the church of Babylon. 16:37 Did we get that? 16:40 And the wrath of God is falling on, 16:41 it's going to be destroyed. 16:44 See, so God only says Babylon, 16:46 but He lets you know what Babylon's teaching. 16:49 And then He let you know what is truth and He says, 16:51 "Now this is Babylon. 16:52 Here's what's going to happen to Babylon." 16:54 Everybody's going to turn on it 16:56 as it were before Jesus shall come. 17:00 And that is found Revelation 17 and 18. 17:02 We can find out Babylon here in this teaching 17:06 Babylon, the Bible said the mother of what? 17:08 The mother of harlots. 17:10 So it's very, very important if we mentioned these things, 17:14 and we will right now, 17:15 I'm gonna name a few of these poisonous doctrines. 17:18 Wine of air, we talk about here and, 17:21 Nick for the sake of time, 17:22 I'm only going to give a couple of I call it real, 17:24 real Bible passages on this subject 17:27 because each one would take time 17:28 and time and time and time just do one subject. 17:31 But notice, if we're teaching this in our church, 17:34 then we are part or drunk, 17:37 we're drinking of the wine we're part of Babylon. 17:40 Who wants to be part of Babylon? 17:42 No one wants to be part of Babylon. 17:43 I'm sure. Now let's name... 17:46 The first one is number one, immortality of the soul. 17:51 If we're teaching in our churches, 17:52 the immortality of the soul, 17:55 we constitute that's one mark for Babylon. 17:59 Immortality of the soul, 18:01 other words, if you go to church, 18:03 and you're teaching a non-dying soul, 18:05 your soul never dies. 18:07 People write songs about... 18:09 They go to place, the soul never dies. 18:11 In other words there's something 18:12 that you have that lives on, you know... 18:17 We have a soul and our soul that's, you know, 18:20 people talk about it all the time. 18:22 What constitute the soul, body, and breath, isn't that right? 18:25 Equal soul, one without the other, 18:27 there is no soul. 18:29 But if we're teaching to soul, oh, when we die, 18:31 something lives on it goes here, it goes there, 18:34 then we're teaching Babylon's doctrine. 18:36 There's no doubt about it 18:38 because no man has immortality right now. 18:42 No man has it. 18:44 There's only one that has it because scripture is clear 18:47 that God only have immortality. 18:49 Is that true? 18:51 And not only that, 18:52 but the Bible said in Romans what's it 6:23. 18:54 The wages of sin is, what? 18:56 "Wages of sin is death." 18:58 The Bible said in Romans 3:23, "We've all sinned, 19:02 and come short of the glory of God." 19:05 So as we look at this work of saying here, 19:06 and then simple texts like this in Ezekiel 18:4 19:12 because people will look you right in the face, 19:13 and they'll say, 19:14 "The soul, you know, you might die, 19:16 you may go to grave, but the soul lives on." 19:20 Wages of sin is what? 19:22 Ezekiel 18:4 says, 19:24 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." 19:28 Did you get it? What did it say? 19:30 "The soul that," what? "That sinneth, it shall die." 19:35 It didn't say it's gonna live on, did it? 19:37 But we say, "Oh, I know what it says there, 19:39 but we believe it's going to live." 19:41 No. 19:42 It's a misunderstanding of scripture. 19:43 We're not studying it the way God... 19:45 We're ignoring that passage of scripture. 19:48 And we're ignoring immortality, the only God has. 19:52 1 Timothy 6:15-16 says this. 19:55 1 Timothy 6:15-16. 19:58 I'll just read a few words of it. 20:00 It talks about, "The King of kings 20:01 and Lord of lords." 20:03 Verse 16, "Who only hath immortality." 20:07 Who only hath immortality, right? 20:10 King of kings and Lord only God, isn't that right? 20:13 See, if we overrule that and throw it out, 20:15 we start believing everything, 20:16 all we're really drinking up within, 20:19 we'll come up with all kinds of answers. 20:21 1 Timothy 1:17 says, "He's King eternal, 20:24 and He is immortal." 20:27 So only God hath what? 20:29 Let's keep it simple, hath immortality, 20:31 that's what the Bible teaches. 20:33 So if your church is teaching that 20:34 and almost every church, 20:36 the fallen churches, did you get that? 20:38 The fallen churches? 20:41 What about the fallen churches if you think about? 20:45 Did you realize that 20:46 we have a message to give to the world, 20:48 you know, dealing 20:50 with the Books of Daniel in Revelation 20:51 that we've talked about? 20:53 A lot, and we should be talking about those because it relies, 20:56 looking at, you know, 2,300 years, 2,300 days, 20:59 then shall the sanctuary be what? 21:01 Shall be cleansed the judgment hour, 21:03 we have to give... 21:04 Revelation Chapter 14, we have to give 21:06 because we're talking about Babylon 21:07 and we're doing, what? 21:08 Giving a call to come out of her 21:10 after you hear what is truth. 21:13 So if you look at and say, "Well, this is wine, 21:16 this is false doctrine," in the churches that believe 21:19 and almost every church, 21:21 the fallen denominational churches 21:22 believe that your soul lives on after you die. 21:27 That's not what the Bible teaches at all 21:29 but that constitutes... 21:30 Mama said real plain the devil's doctrine. 21:34 I don't want anybody be confused. 21:36 That's a devil's doc... 21:37 You won't belong to the devil's church. 21:38 No, you don't. 21:40 That's why God gives you plain simple truth 21:41 and then he says what? 21:42 "Come out of her. 21:44 Come out of those fallen churches." 21:45 We realized in 1844, when the judgment hour began, 21:47 what happened? 21:48 Christ was where? 21:49 Christ was in the holy place, 1844 what did He do? 21:52 Judgment hour began, He went into what? 21:54 Remember Revelation 3, there was a door that was open, 21:56 He went into the most, what? Good. 21:58 He went into the most holy place 21:59 where he stands, 22:01 John saw Him first going at the candlesticks 22:03 and the bread, remember that to begin with, 22:04 then he saw Him right standing before the altar, 22:06 right, the arc, with the Ten Commandment, 22:08 the mercy seat. 22:11 Judgment hour, now notice what happened, 22:14 there was a great religious 22:16 awakening at that point in time, but what? 22:18 The people refused to accept it. 22:21 And what happened? 22:22 There was a falling away, 22:24 but the faithful follow Christ by faith into, what? 22:27 The most... 22:28 Yes, into the most holy place 22:30 and we write songs about it today, 22:32 we talk about it, we'll say Christ is our, 22:34 what, our High Priest, won't we? 22:37 And He is. He is our High Priest. 22:39 I hear a song said, "Oh, He's ever interceding." 22:42 But when you go to talk about a judgment hour, 22:44 when you go to talk about this message 22:46 that we should be giving, they said, 22:47 "Well, we don't believe there's a sanctuary in heaven. 22:49 We don't believe the Christ is really..." 22:52 They didn't follow Him by faith. 22:53 And so they were left where? 22:55 In the Holy Place, the door was shut, 22:57 and God's present, 22:58 His spirit went into the most holy place. 23:00 If we didn't follow Him there, 23:01 then the enemy kept us back here. 23:04 And then we start all these false doctrines 23:06 and all these teachings. 23:11 Yes, absolutely. 23:12 I'm talking about here, we look at... 23:14 Another one, I'll just give quick, 23:15 we're in time just going on. 23:17 Eternal torment. 23:18 If your church, I'm not shy about it, 23:21 I don't want to be shy about, 23:22 but I want to hit it on the head. 23:23 If you don't like it, throw it out if you want. 23:25 But you know what, if it's truth, 23:27 you're throwing out the light. 23:29 And if you throw out the light, 23:30 then you will receive darkness in its place, 23:32 you will see more lies of the devil. 23:36 I keep asking myself wondering all the time, 23:38 why is it that people 23:39 want to maybe come through the doors and they will say, 23:41 "Well, we kind of want to know what truth is." 23:43 And you begin to present the truth. 23:44 And they'll say, "Well, I really see that, 23:46 but I went to this church for 40 years on Sunday. 23:49 We believe in burning forever and ever. 23:52 We believe in immortality there." 23:54 So that's the devil's doctrine, why do you want to keep going? 23:57 Man, somebody helped me out. 23:59 Why do you want to keep going 24:01 to a place that you know is not the truth? 24:04 If it's not God's truth, it's a devil's lie. 24:07 Say, I mean, we've got... You got to get down to it. 24:09 I'm not trying to be harsh and trying to be ugly about it. 24:12 That's exactly the way that it is, is it not? 24:15 It's either God's doctrine teaching truth 24:18 or it's a devil's lie. 24:20 You know what? 24:21 You value, I mean, to get personal with you, 24:23 I don't know who you are, but I'll get personal with you. 24:25 You love your people 24:27 after your old church as it were, 24:29 you love the fellowship more than you love God 24:33 because you don't want to come out. 24:37 Revelation 14, you read verses 6-12 and so on. 24:40 Second angels' message is, what? 24:42 Come out of what? 24:44 Come out of her my people as the truth about the Sabbath, 24:48 and the truth about the judgment 24:49 was given at that point in time. 24:51 The people would not... They didn't want to accept it. 24:53 They rejected it, and then what? 24:55 Remember this, 24:56 the call to come out is progressive. 25:00 Babylon hadn't fallen completely 25:02 as the second angels' message was given, 25:04 but it began what? 25:06 In Revelation 18, you find a complete what? 25:09 A complete fall of Babylon. 25:11 And God once again says come out of her church, 25:14 the church at my people, 25:16 God's people are in every church 25:17 around the world today. 25:20 And God is calling them out, but the only ones 25:22 that will come out is His people. 25:25 And His people will not love what is truth. 25:29 It may take a little bit of time for them 25:31 to get it all in their mind, 25:33 but you know what, they're learning it, 25:34 and they're loving it, and they're saying, yes. 25:36 Instead of, "Noah, I won't go back there." 25:40 You see a mass of people 25:41 begin to come to church and so on, 25:42 they begin to hear truth, 25:44 appreciate you don't see them anymore. 25:47 Consistency in the cause of Christ. 25:51 Consistency in the cause of Christ 25:53 is what we need today, certainly in the Word of God. 25:56 Now again, go back. 25:58 Eternal torment is another lie of the devil. 26:00 That means people are saying forever, what? 26:02 You're gonna burn for what? 26:04 If your church is teaching 26:06 and I'm getting not bashful and shy about it all. 26:08 If your church is teaching, 26:09 you burn forever and ever and ever, 26:10 that is the drinking of the wine, 26:12 that's a lie Babylon. 26:14 That is a lie because the Bible doesn't teach that. 26:16 If it did, I wouldn't have a problem with it. 26:19 If that's the way God sees, they don't see it that way. 26:23 Let me just give you a couple of passage here script, 26:25 you know, again, what is it? 26:27 You look at it what's being taught, 26:29 it's either truth of God or it's a lie of the devil. 26:32 You have to choose, 26:33 and then when you hear you'll say, 26:35 "Well, I choose to go back and hear the lies 26:36 of the devil all the time, or I'm getting away from that 26:38 and I'm going to where I hear truth." 26:40 This is call... 26:42 We're giving a call to come out of her, my people. 26:48 I mean, if you just had a couple of passages like 26:51 Malachi 4:1-3, how plain it becomes. 26:55 I mean, what we have to do 26:58 to try to cover up the truth what some people do. 27:01 They want to cover up the truth, 27:03 like a cat sometime. 27:04 Oh, my lambs of love, they're always doing this. 27:06 They come on now. 27:08 Hey, hey, some of you not with me. 27:12 Maybe tomorrow we'll register. 27:15 They're always trying to cover up. 27:20 Malachi 4:1-3 says this, "For, behold, the day is coming." 27:23 What is that? 27:25 "Burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, 27:28 all who do wickedly," notice this, "will be stubble." 27:34 They're going to be what? I say stubble. 27:37 And you say, "Well, I didn't quite get that." 27:38 That means you're still exist. There's a little stubble there. 27:41 Then it goes on and says, "And shall be," what? 27:44 "And shall be burned up." 27:46 The wicked shall be burned, what? 27:48 They shall become stubble, they shall be burned up. 27:50 Verse 3 says, 27:52 "You the righteous shall tread upon the," what, 27:55 "the ashes," 27:58 you're going to trade on the ashes of the wicked, 27:59 "they're gonna be under the soles of your feet." 28:02 That can't be burning forever and ever, can it? 28:04 There comes to a point to where there's just ashes, 28:06 there's nothing else, there's nothing else left. 28:10 So let's talk about stubble, 28:11 you talk about it's gonna burn them up. 28:13 And you're gonna talk about ashes under your feet. 28:15 And some people just ignore that. 28:17 Just say, "Well, that's not really what I mean. 28:19 My preacher has been teaching." 28:20 Well, your preachers been teaching you in a lie. 28:24 If it doesn't harmonize with the Bible, 28:25 we may say that. 28:26 And I'm gonna say it because it is a lie. 28:30 How do you dismiss stubble? How you dismiss ashes? 28:34 The righteous were credible in the ashes of the wicked. 28:36 You know, how do you do? 28:38 Oh, I read some I'll say quick, let me just give you one more, 28:39 Matthew, come on so on. 28:41 Matthew 25:41. 28:44 Matthew 25:41 speaks about everlasting, eternal fire. 28:49 You remember that? And it says what? 28:50 "This everlasting fire 28:52 was created for the devil in his," what? 28:56 "Hellfire was created for the devil and his angels." 29:00 Think about it. 29:01 And then it goes on to make it clear. 29:03 Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed with what? 29:07 Everlasting or eternal fire. Get it? 29:10 God's even gives you an example. 29:12 So you can't mess up. 29:13 Just say, "Well, it says eternal fire. 29:15 Well, in my mind, I thought, it goes on and on." 29:18 Then God turns around says, "Look, 29:19 I'm gonna give you an example of what eternal fire is. 29:22 I'm going to give you Sodom and Gomorrah 29:23 you look at today and you'll say, what, 29:25 if Sodom and Gomorrah burning today?" 29:26 No. 29:28 That means it's simply eternally 29:29 it's going to burn 29:30 till there's nothing left to burn, 29:32 then it's gonna go out." 29:33 Is that makes sense? 29:34 As long as there's something left to burn, 29:37 no man can put it out. 29:39 But once there's nothing there, 29:40 the righteous then will tread upon the ashes 29:43 of the wicked as it were, they're gonna be reduced. 29:46 Oh, how simple is that? 29:48 That example is in Jude 1:7. 29:51 There's only one chapter, seven. 29:52 Yeah, so didn't look at it. 29:54 Number three quickly. Oh, time's going by quickly. 29:57 A denial, this is another doctrine of the devil. 30:00 Can I... Is it okay say that? 30:02 I've been saying all I'm gonna keep saying it. 30:04 This is Babylon's doctrine here, 30:07 "A denial of the pre-existence of Christ prior to His birth." 30:13 Remember, there's many, many people 30:15 who believe that there's many people 30:17 who say that they are 30:21 part of the remnant church 30:24 that are fabricating the same thing 30:25 because you've been nipping at the bottle. 30:27 That's why. 30:30 You've been smelling the fumes of the alcohol. 30:33 And you're a little bit lightheaded, 30:35 and you're a little bit dizzy. 30:37 And we shouldn't be because they will tell me 30:40 those who supposed to know 30:41 what truth is that Christ came along sometime 30:44 in the history of the world. 30:47 He was not always with the Father. 30:50 You see, they've been drinking. 30:51 They've been listening. They've been out in Babylon. 30:53 They've been with the fallen churches 30:55 of the world, 30:56 which almost every church is a fallen church 30:58 as part of Babylon because they're preaching 31:00 and teaching these things that we've been talking about. 31:03 That is the wine that they're drinking, 31:05 the false doctrine, immortality of the soul, right? 31:10 It's a lie of the devil, burning forever and ever, 31:12 it's a live of what? 31:14 Of the devil, it's the wine of Babylon, 31:16 and then denying the pre-existence of Christ. 31:20 In other words, I just say, when the time was right, 31:23 he came about a certain time 31:25 in point history of the world he came about, 31:27 that's not what the Bible teaches at all, 31:29 one of the most simple passage of scriptures 31:31 and found in the Book of John 1:1-3, 31:35 you know, a bit hard, the Bible says, 31:38 "In the beginning was," what? 31:41 "In the beginning was the," what, "was the Word, 31:43 and the Word, all the Word was with..." 31:46 "The Word was with God, and the Word was God." 31:50 Where? In the beginning. 31:52 Men had the audacity 31:56 to try to define the beginning. 31:59 Like there was a certain point. 32:01 You can't define. I can't go back. 32:04 Do we know the beginning of God? 32:05 Do we know the beginning of Christ? 32:07 Oh, but they'll say, oh, in the beginning. 32:10 Interesting. 32:12 And then notice this, 32:13 and it says the same in verse two, 32:16 "The same was with God in the beginning." 32:18 Ooh! 32:20 "All things were made by him, and without him," what, 32:26 "Nothing was made that was made." 32:29 What? Nothing was made, right? 32:32 Christ created all things. 32:35 So that must mean He existed before all things. 32:38 Does that make sense? Yes. 32:42 That means the existence from all eternity. 32:44 There never was a time 32:46 that Christ was not with the Father. 32:49 He was with God from all eternity. 32:53 John 17:24, quickly, 32:56 I got a couple of just real quick, 32:58 give you more food for thought, John 17:24. 33:01 Again, these are just little parts, 33:02 just little snippets of what you do 33:04 when you study the subject, 33:06 study to show yourself approved under God. 33:08 It says, "Thou lovedst me 33:10 before the foundation of the world." 33:12 Who's that? 33:14 He's talking about His Father loving Christ. 33:15 He said, "You love me 33:16 before the foundation of the world." 33:18 I'm surely it goes certainly deeper 33:20 than this earth that we're talking about here. 33:22 And in John 17:5, he said, you remember this, he said, 33:26 the Christ gave up His glory, right? 33:29 He gave up His power, He gave up His authority. 33:32 And He came down here to die cruel death 33:35 because you and I needed it. 33:36 There's no hope without Him. Praise God. 33:39 Kind of love that He has for us but notice what He says, 33:42 the glory which I had with thee before the world was, 33:48 Christ goes back and said, 33:49 the glory that I had with you father before this world, 33:53 there never was a time that Christ was not with the Father. 33:55 The devil has come in. 33:57 He's making church people what drink 33:59 and they're drunk with the wine. 34:03 Number four, notice this, those who exalt... 34:07 Now I'm gonna be playing if you don't like playing this, 34:08 you shut it off, 34:10 I guess is all I can tell you to do? 34:11 If you're there watching something, 34:13 you shut it off. 34:14 Because if it's not time to be playing now, 34:17 when will the time be? 34:19 I mean, really, when will it be? 34:21 The time is coming, 34:22 I'm talking about in the near future, 34:24 that this kind of stuff is going to be cut off. 34:28 They're gonna cut it down all this mess 34:29 that's going on in the world right now has to do 34:31 with getting rid of those who are religious. 34:34 It has to do with those who love Jesus. 34:38 Seriously, you look at all the groups 34:40 that are fighting right now what's taking place right now, 34:43 the bottom line under the cover 34:45 is to get rid of the Christian world. 34:54 People are drunk 34:57 who exalt the first day of the week 35:01 above God's sanctified seventh day. 35:04 This is the wine, the doctrine of Babylon 35:07 if your church is teaching and majority of the churches 35:10 do around the world. 35:11 They believe that Sunday is the day set aside 35:14 that's blessed and sanctified. 35:15 There's only one day that's blessed and sanctified. 35:17 That's the seventh day. That's because God's present. 35:21 Come on somebody in the church, you know, 35:23 we're going to church by set by like a bump on the log. 35:27 We can't afford to do that 35:28 God has given you special invitation 35:31 that He's given the world the invitation, He said, 35:33 "The seventh day is My day. I blessed it. 35:37 I set it apart." 35:39 And the papacy comes by and says, "Yeah, but, 35:41 you know what, I will exalt myself above God." 35:44 He said, "I'll be like God." He said, "I'll be above God. 35:47 And I'll show you I'll be above God. 35:48 I'll take care of the author of the Ten Commandments, 35:51 the one that's in the fourth, it's in the heart of it that 35:53 identifies God as Creator of heaven, earth, 35:55 I take him out and I put myself in his place, 35:57 and the world will wander after me." 36:00 And the ones who wander after him Revelation 13, 36:03 are those, "Whose names are not written 36:05 in the Lamb's book of life." 36:07 See, why we're excited about this message 36:09 and why it needs to go out 36:10 because God has so many good wonderful precious people 36:13 in all the churches that He sent what? 36:15 Hear the message, and then respond and come out. 36:19 All we're basically want to do sometimes is respond. 36:21 We want to be around these people 36:23 that we love here, we want to be right here, 36:24 the day is coming, 36:26 we may be separated from all of family 36:27 and all of friends. 36:29 They're all gonna turn, 36:30 and they're gonna turn you into the authorities, 36:33 my land somebody. 36:36 We like to have just the way we wanted to have, 36:38 but we need to be where God would have us 36:39 to be need to be preaching 36:41 what God would have us to preach, 36:42 to be living what God would have us to be living, 36:44 this is the time right now. 36:46 This is the time right now 36:48 because these words that we're talking about here 36:51 will not be tolerated in the near future, 36:54 and then what are you gonna do? 36:55 Those who are shirking and staying home every Sabbath, 36:58 you know, God have mercy on you. 37:00 You wish, you wish, you pray, "Oh, God, 37:03 I wish I went every week. 37:05 I wish I was in church, every time the doors were open. 37:07 Now we can't do it anymore without suffering a penalty 37:10 of being thrown in jail or family killed." 37:14 Enjoy it while you can. 37:17 The doors are soon to be locked. 37:19 I don't want to say that. 37:21 Be honest, I don't want to believe it, 37:22 but I do because it's written. 37:26 Man, what a time is just before us. 37:31 But if you're a church, if you're... 37:34 You may have never heard it before. 37:35 God understands that too, but as soon as truth is spoken, 37:38 the Holy Spirit will say to you, 37:40 that's the truth walking in it. 37:42 And you'll have to reject it right then and there. 37:44 If you don't reject it when you first hear it, 37:47 and I have a lot of people right all the time reject 37:48 everything I say but you know what? 37:51 They have not one proof in the Word of God. 37:54 I challenge him with that 37:55 to give me a thus saith the Lord. 37:57 They can't. 37:58 It's a thus saith man, every time. 37:59 It's a thus, I feel, it's a thus that's the way 38:02 I was raised, you know, 38:04 I'm just trying to say that's their position. 38:07 Let your position be 38:08 a thus saith the Lord it is written. 38:11 When God says so plain Exodus 20:8-12. 38:14 We're not gonna read it all you know that. 38:16 He said remember the Sabbath day to do what? 38:19 To keep it holy. 38:21 I heard somebody say the other day, 38:23 "Well, what is it?" 38:24 He said, "They're starting to say now Happy Sunday." 38:28 And I just rejected it. 38:31 Is that okay to say that? 38:32 I thought Seventh-day Adventist 38:34 only ones that could ever say Happy Sabbath, 38:37 but the enemy's trying to steal it 38:39 and make it so close that we get all confused 38:40 to say Happy Sunday. 38:42 Well, I guess you could say Happy Sunday. 38:43 Sunday is not holy. 38:46 The enemy is coming to work 38:47 through the papacy to change that day. 38:49 And once you find that out 38:50 how in this world can you stay where you're at? 38:54 How can you stay when you know that the man, 38:57 the papacy has changed material after material 39:00 written taken from their own writings 39:02 from the Word of God, Daniel 7:25, 39:04 "he shall think to change times and laws." 39:08 Isaiah 14, he's gonna say his throne above God, 39:11 he's gonna show that he's God, 39:13 and the world is gonna be following after him. 39:15 And, man, they are right now as you will know it. 39:19 Somebody needs to cry out. 39:23 Now's the time. 39:26 The Bible said the seventh day 39:27 is the Sabbath of the Lord, thy God. 39:29 Man, what a time to spend three or four hours on this. 39:33 The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, 39:36 not the first day, not the second day, 39:38 and please don't write and tell me any day 39:40 will do I keep them all alike. 39:42 That's impossible. 39:45 Is that okay to say it like that? 39:47 Yes. Okay, thank you. 39:50 I don't want to be so harsh, but I'm fired up about it 39:55 'cause you are attacking the Creator of heaven, earth. 39:58 You're attacking way 39:59 God has set it up through the whole universe. 40:04 Absolutely. That's His government. 40:06 Exactly. 40:07 Not just for us here but for the universe. 40:09 Everything's done decently and in order, 40:12 and we're saying we want it out order. 40:13 Matt, can you see what the world's doing today 40:15 and these protests everything is going on. 40:17 It's not peaceful. It's violent. 40:18 It's dirty. It's ugly. 40:21 Killing, ransacking, and looting. 40:24 How can you love your fellow man 40:26 if you do that? 40:27 You can't. 40:30 Seventh day is a Sabbath, 40:31 six days you do your labor and do all your work. 40:34 People keep the Sabbath now it's like, 40:35 "Well, it's okay, you know, 40:37 I'm putting a bind right now I need a job 40:38 so I guess I can work on the Sabbath." 40:40 The Bible says no. 40:44 Well, we're going buy and we sell on the Sabbath. 40:46 The Bible says, "No." 40:48 When we go fishing, we go swim, and we go do that. 40:50 The Bible says, "No." 40:52 Isaiah 58, "Don't do your own pleasure 40:54 on My holy day." 40:57 Don't do your own pleasure, no buying no selling. 40:59 Why? Because it's God's day. 41:01 The seventh day 41:03 is the Sabbath notice that what? 41:04 Oh, Seventh-day Adventist, the Lord thy God. 41:07 The seventh day 41:08 is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, 41:10 24-hour period of time that belongs to whom? 41:13 That belongs to God, and His people, 41:15 we'll correspond with that and say, 41:17 he said for us to keep it holy. 41:19 We got six days 41:20 do all these other things but then this day, 41:22 He wants to spend it with Him. 41:25 Spending with Him. Let rule the world out. 41:28 And all the things you do all the time 41:29 and all the stuff that you go through mentally 41:31 trying to make ends meet and da-ta-da. 41:34 Put it down. 41:36 I always loved it when I was in construction 41:37 come Friday, about quitting time. 41:40 Nail apron came off. 41:41 And so it was put up. 41:43 I never even thought about picking it up on Sabbath. 41:46 I didn't take any phone calls about business. 41:49 I told God, "I don't want a phone call." 41:50 People call him in house about doing work on the Sabbath. 41:53 You know what, for umpteen years, 41:54 I never, ever got a phone call 41:56 on the Sabbath hours about work. 41:58 Whoo! That was an answer to prayer. 42:04 You want the whole conclusion of the matter? 42:07 No conclusion... Solomon gives you that. 42:09 Does he not Ecclesiastes 12:13. 42:12 He said, "Let us hear the conclusion of," what? 42:15 "The conclusion of the whole matter," he says. 42:18 And that word there is that means every matter. 42:21 It says to, "Fear God, and keep," what? 42:25 "Fear God and keep his commandments, 42:27 for this is the whole duty," the word whole means all, 42:30 "all the duty of man." 42:34 This is it. This is the whole duty of man. 42:36 See, when you hear that you either have to accept it 42:38 or you just reject it and say, "Look, give me another drink." 42:43 Then it will in it because when you not accept 42:47 what is truth that he puts before you right here, 42:49 the devil is gonna say, "Have mine. 42:51 Have mine." Yeah, have another drink. 42:56 He knows what more intoxicated you get, 42:58 the more you couldn't figure out 42:59 how to even get home. 43:01 You don't know your own name. 43:05 And so that's where he's leading. 43:06 Well, this is a whole duty. Fear God! 43:08 Right, keep His commandments whole duty of man, 43:11 and then he says what John 14:15, 43:12 it's so simple. 43:14 He said, "If you," what? "If you love me," do what? 43:17 Break them all. Do away with one of them. 43:21 Do away the one you don't like that you're guilty of sin? 43:23 No. 43:26 "If you love me, keep My commandments." 43:28 So anybody says you don't have to keep them. 43:29 They don't love God. 43:31 You can say you love him all you want. 43:33 I mean, can we get just get down to it? 43:36 Say it, say it all you want, but the Bible says, 43:39 "If you love me, keep." 43:42 And then he goes on to say, 43:43 "As I have kept my Father's commandments." 43:46 What an example, Jesus kept them. 43:50 And yeah, we say, "I love Him. 43:51 I love Him more than anything in life." 43:52 No, if you love Him, 43:54 you will keep His commandments by the grace of God. 43:56 I can't do it on my own. 43:57 You can't do it on your own, 43:59 but by God's grace and strength and His victory... 44:03 We can't down what the Word of God says. 44:07 And then I'll go a little bit farther. 44:08 I'm just gonna ahead and do it because in 1 John, 44:10 you remember 2:4. 44:13 "He that saith, I know of him, 44:15 and keepeth not his commandments, 44:17 is a liar, and the truth is not in him." 44:20 The world almost today 44:22 you look at is a big lie from Hollywood on down to, 44:26 somebody still there. 44:28 Man, I feel like I can hear about myself, somebody. 44:31 Think about it. That's such a lie. 44:33 Whoever... Oh, I know Him. 44:35 I know Him as Lord and Savior. 44:37 I know Him and they may be honest, 44:38 they may not win it far enough. 44:40 And I'm not trying to judge 44:41 and I'm simply saying, "I know Him. 44:42 I've been in the church for 40 years. 44:44 I've been reading scripture every day." 44:45 I know I've heard this. I know I'm going to heaven. 44:48 I know I'm going to be there. The Bible said you say what? 44:51 Oh, you say you know Him, 44:55 but you're not keeping His commandments 44:56 by the grace of God. 44:57 You are a liar and the truth is not in you. 45:00 That's what the Bible says. I'm judging no man. 45:05 I'm saying what the Bible says here. 45:07 Don't you think it's time 45:09 that we just said what the Bible said. 45:11 And then try to explain that a little bit to say, 45:14 you can say it, "Oh, you want 45:16 unless you're willing to be a doer of the word 45:19 and not just to hear only you're going to save 45:21 your own self." 45:25 See, these are many other teachings 45:26 in Scripture until today. 45:30 We can actually say, 45:31 just by naming these four and man, 45:32 there's dozens and hundreds of them. 45:35 We can say, scripture is fulfilled before us today, 45:39 Revelation 18:3 because it simply says, 45:42 "All nations have drunk, what, 45:44 "of the wine of her fornication." 45:48 I mean, look at it, almost every church, 45:51 the fallen denominations, has all of these teachings, 45:55 completely fallen into the hands of the enemy, 45:57 and they know what not. 45:58 And by the reason is because I haven't done my job. 46:02 And I want to do my job, how about you doing your job, 46:04 they have to be warned, they don't know. 46:07 They're asleep. 46:09 They have not the Holy Spirit of living God, 46:11 they haven't been following Christ, 46:13 they didn't follow Him into the Most Holy Place 46:15 his last stop before He comes back. 46:21 The enemy is breathing 46:22 on the churches of the world today, 46:24 and they think it's the Holy Ghost 46:25 of the living God, it's not the enemy is doing it. 46:29 That's good. 46:31 I want to stir it up a little bit here. 46:34 How long will it take? 46:35 You may not have another opportunity 46:37 to stir it up. 46:39 Think about it. 46:41 You may not have another opportunity, 46:42 God may give you one. Take advantage of that. 46:47 Tell what He's put on your heart. 46:51 And what do we do? 46:52 We don't get about 10 minutes left, 46:54 you thought it's gonna be a long time 46:55 I need 10 more besides the 10 and maybe 10 after that. 46:58 I know I'm not gonna get it. 47:02 I mean, how do we deal with it? 47:03 Our pioneers dealt with it. 47:04 When somebody comes up to me and says, "Man, 47:06 I have got some new light." 47:09 I've got some new light. 47:11 Remember, it either is the old light 47:12 that's being revealed and we need it 47:14 or it's the devil shining some light, 47:16 we have to know the difference. 47:19 It's imperative that we know the difference. 47:20 Oh, we're sipping again. 47:25 Do I just automatically say, "Oh, that must be truth?" 47:28 Or do I do a little examine Isaiah, 47:30 what is it 8:20. 47:32 "To the law and to the testimony, 47:34 if they speak not according 47:35 to this word is because there is, 47:38 somebody," say what, no light," not sunlight, 47:42 a little bit of light, no light in them, rule it out. 47:46 But notice what we do when somebody comes up to us, 47:48 it makes sense 5 Testimonies 293, 47:50 I'm gonna move quickly, a lot to cover, 47:52 "Our only safety for any of us in receiving," 47:55 notice this, "receiving no new doctrine, 47:58 or no new interpretation of Scripture," notice this, 48:01 "without first submitting to the brethren of experience." 48:07 Oh, interesting. 48:08 "Lay it before them in a humble teachable spirit, 48:11 with earnest prayer, if they see no light in it, 48:15 yield to their judgment, 48:17 for in the multitude of counselors 48:20 there is safety." 48:21 Proverbs 11:14. 48:23 Now so if I were you, I would make sure 48:25 I just wouldn't present 48:27 what God has laid on my heart to somebody 48:28 that's not preaching, teaching truth. 48:31 Isn't that right? 48:32 You want to go to someone who what? 48:35 Somebody preaching, 48:36 teaching the truth or someone who said that 48:38 you have confidence in the Word of God, 48:41 not just everybody because everybody's falling. 48:44 They're falling the paycheck, they're falling retirement. 48:47 No. 48:50 You know what? There's nothing wrong. 48:53 The Bible said there's wisdom and counsel. 48:56 And if you get people you have wisdom, 48:57 you think that God's given wisdom 48:59 and they're walking in the truth 49:00 and they're yielding 49:01 to this power of the Holy Spirit. 49:03 We need to present these things to them 49:05 just give a few examples of some of the errors 49:07 that the early pioneers met quickly. 49:10 We're meeting them today to say that the remnant 49:14 or the Seventh-day Adventist Church is Babylon. 49:18 Here's what Ellen White wrote about it. 49:19 Again, I said it I'll say it time 49:20 and time again, I'm a squeal like a pig. 49:23 There's Babylonians things 49:24 in the Advent church that I don't like at all. 49:27 There's apostasy in the church. 49:28 I don't like it at all, 49:29 but that doesn't mean we listen to it, 49:31 doesn't mean we teach it. 49:32 That means we stay away from it, 49:34 and we want to stay away from it. 49:37 Notice what she says, 49:39 Testimonies of Ministers 58 and 59. 49:41 She said wrote a letter to this man, she said, 49:42 "I learned that you are," notice this, 49:44 "taking the position that 49:46 the Seventh-day Adventist Church is Babylon, 49:48 and that all that would be saved 49:49 must come out of her. 49:51 You are not the only man 49:53 that the devil has deceived in this matter. 49:56 I have been shown by the Lord 49:57 that just position will be taken 49:59 by the those who are in error. 50:02 This message you are proclaiming 50:03 is one of the satanic delusions 50:06 designed to create confusion among the churches. 50:10 God has not given you any such message to bear." 50:14 Interesting. 50:18 Now again, how much apostasy do you have to have to be lost? 50:21 How much the Babylonians things do you had to be lost? 50:24 Yeah. Adam and Eve, right? 50:27 One point, one choice they were out. 50:30 Another error was their false doctrine coming in, 50:32 notice this, from the same man he wrote it and he said, look, 50:35 you know, he's always said, 50:36 The Lord has led the Lord is teaching me here. 50:38 Notice this. He said, he said this. 50:40 He said, "You know what, Lord's doesn't need leave me. 50:42 We should not pay tithe." Pioneers had to meet this. 50:47 Notice now, here's what Sister White said. 50:50 When she met this 8 Testimonies to Ministers 60 says this, 50:53 "My brethren, take off your shoes 50:55 from off your feet 50:57 for the place where on you are standing is," 50:59 what, "Holy ground." 51:01 And again, you find that in Exodus 3:5, Joshua 5:15, 51:05 Acts 7:33, holy ground. 51:09 God says, "Be very careful." Right? 51:11 He is there. Notice what it says. 51:13 "The Lord has spoken in regard to paying tithes. 51:16 He said..." 51:17 Malachi 3 remember 8 and Malachi 3:10, 51:21 Malachi 3:8 says, "Will a man rob God?" 51:22 You remember hearing this every time 51:24 you take up tithe and offering almost. 51:25 "Bring you all the tithes into," what? 51:28 "Storehouse." 51:30 Now again, people are all confused 51:31 about storehouse. 51:32 We don't know where the storehouse is that 51:34 there is no address on the storehouse. 51:37 See, most people go... 51:39 "I thought I was supposed to go to one place." 51:43 The Bible is very clear 51:45 and Spirit of Prophecy is very clear 51:46 on those who may accept tithe. 51:49 Are they preaching the gospel? 51:50 Are they living the Gospel? 51:52 Are they getting gospel out to the world? 51:55 And the purpose of it. 51:58 She goes on to says right here, 51:59 "That there may be meat in mine house, 52:01 and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord," 52:03 notice this, "that I will not open 52:04 you the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing 52:06 that there will not be room enough to receive." 52:08 Notice, He promises a blessing to those who give other tithe, 52:11 but He also said He pronounces a curse 52:14 upon those who withhold them. 52:16 You don't want the curse of God. 52:18 I don't want the curse of God. 52:20 I want the blessings of God, but you know what? 52:21 We try to cheat Him out a nickel 52:22 or a dime or 50 cents or whatever it might be. 52:24 Is it really worth it? 52:25 No. We lose our own souls. 52:28 My mother always taught me, "Kenny, 52:29 if you steal something whether it's a penny 52:31 or $1,000 doesn't matter. 52:32 It's just you're still a thief." 52:36 Well, it's just a penny doesn't matter. 52:37 Yeah, mattered. 52:40 Notice what she said, 52:41 "Very recently I have direct light 52:43 from the Lord upon the question, 52:45 that many Seventh-day Adventists 52:47 were robbing God of their tithes and offerings, 52:49 it was plainly revealed to me 52:50 that Malachi stated the case as it really is. 52:54 Then how dare," she says, 52:56 "how dare any man even to think in his heart 52:59 take a suggestion to withhold tithes 53:01 and offerings from the God." 53:02 And then she tells the brother, "Have you stepped out," what? 53:05 "Have you stepped out of the path?" 53:08 What happened here? 53:09 And then she encouraged him 53:10 to get back on the path while they're still time. 53:12 So she'd been robbing God, 53:13 get back on the path while they're still time. 53:15 God will hear. God will answer. 53:17 God will forgive. 53:18 Another error that's been dealt with is time setting. 53:21 I'm moving quickly in three minutes 53:22 and some I can't really do. 53:23 Time setting for the coming of Jesus. 53:25 Some believe that we can know the day 53:27 and the hour and the time of the coming of Jesus. 53:28 What does the Bible say? 53:30 What is the Spirit of Prophecy say? 53:31 Bible seem to be very clear about that does not? 53:34 Let some people say, 53:35 "Well, I know it's very clear here, 53:36 but there's a mistranslation here." 53:38 This was a new rendition of the Bible 53:39 or some kind of a... 53:41 That we're here, we found something 53:42 that means a little bit different. 53:43 God has said plain about that. 53:45 And let me go through some quick ones right here 53:46 just in case you have questions. 53:48 In Early Writings page 75. 53:50 It says, notice that, 53:51 "Time has not been a test since 1844, 53:53 and never again will be." 53:55 No definite time for the outpouring 53:56 of the Holy Spirit. 53:58 I'm gonna give all the reference 53:59 of there's too many here. 54:00 No definite time for the close of probation, 54:02 no definite time for the second coming of Jesus. 54:05 It will be announced by God during the time of trouble. 54:08 Christ has not revealed it. The angels do not know it. 54:11 God's people cannot sit. Men are not to know it. 54:14 No Man's able to predict it. 54:16 We are warned against any speculation. 54:19 We're warn again and again in Scripture 54:21 in Mark 13:32 said, 54:23 "But of the day and the hour," what, "No man, no, 54:27 not the angels of heaven which are in heaven, 54:28 neither Son, but the Father." 54:30 I hear it more and more all the time. 54:32 So yet we get on this ground that we should not be on. 54:36 Notice this clear statement. 54:37 I want to get this in Testimonies 54:39 to Ministers 60 and 61. 54:40 "We are near the end," anybody? Yes. 54:43 "But if you or any other man shall be seduced by the enemy, 54:47 led on to set the time for Christ's coming, 54:50 he will be, " notice, "doing the same evil work 54:53 that was wrought the ruin of souls 54:55 of those who have done it in the past." 54:58 Going on, 61, "Anyone who shall start 55:01 to proclaim a message 55:02 to announce the hour of the day, 55:03 or the year of Christ's appearing 55:06 has taken up a yoke and is proclaiming a message," 55:08 notice this, "that the Lord has never given him." 55:13 Five Testimonies 295 says, 55:14 "Satan hopes to involve 55:16 the remnant people of God in general ruin 55:18 that is coming up on the earth." 55:21 Man, I don't want to be a part of that. 55:22 I don't want to be drunk with the one that of God, 55:25 He's pouring it out. 55:26 The judgments are falling everywhere. 55:28 We must be careful how we tried, 55:30 even though our intentions may be the very best, 55:32 and you want to do the very right thing 55:33 you're doing to God. 55:35 God has given instructions through the Bible 55:36 and the Spirit of Prophecy, 55:38 that which we need to be very careful 55:39 and adhere to that 55:41 where we keep unity in the church. 55:42 When we begin to do that 55:44 what the scripture has not taught us to do. 55:46 It brings disunity in the church. 55:48 It causes division and separation. 55:49 Just look back in 1844. 55:51 What happened? 55:52 Just look back, he's given us examples to do. 55:54 It's going to unsettle our faith in the old landmarks. 55:59 We have to know what truth is. 56:01 Great Controversy last one 456, "No," notice, 56:04 "no prophetic period extends to the second coming advent, 56:07 the exact time the advent is not foretold." 56:10 We can go on and on and on. 56:12 We won't do it our time is up, but, you know, 56:13 you've heard a lot today 56:15 maybe your minds about like this 56:16 or you got mad, you turn it off, 56:17 and you turn it back on, 56:19 you turn it off, you turn it back on, 56:20 I pray the Holy Spirit will enlighten you to say, 56:22 "Hey, I need to listen to this. 56:24 I'm hearing some of these truths. 56:25 I need to find out what these truths are. 56:27 And if I find out my church is teaching all these things 56:29 that are not truth, 56:30 then I need to depart from that church, 56:32 and I need to go find one that's teaching what is truth." 56:35 No one is sanctified 56:36 and prepared for heaven by believing a lie. 56:39 John 17:17, "Sanctify them through thy truth, thy," 56:42 what, "thy Word is truth." 56:45 We're sanctified, prepared 56:47 for heaven by knowing what truth is, 56:48 and relating to others. 56:49 So we've got to come out of her my people 56:51 did not be partakers of her sins. 56:53 We're gonna have prayer here, 56:54 but we're gonna say goodbye to you. 56:56 God bless you.
