00:38 Hello, and welcome to Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:40 I'm Chris Shelton, your host. 00:42 I want to thank you for joining us. 00:44 Our message for today is entitled 00:46 "Seeing through the Fog of our Rapidly Changing World." 00:50 As you are aware 00:52 a great changes in the United States 00:54 as well as worldwide have been rapidly occurring, 00:57 especially under the guise of health and climate change. 01:02 Let's take just a moment and look at Daniel 12:1 01:05 and see what Daniel saw 01:07 would happen in the last moments 01:09 of this world's history. 01:11 And I quote, 01:12 "At that time shall Michael stand up, 01:14 the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people, 01:18 and there shall be a time of trouble 01:21 such as never was since there was a nation, 01:24 even to that same time. 01:26 And at, at time, thy people shall be delivered, 01:30 everyone that shall be found written in the book." 01:33 Friends, the Word of God here declares that 01:36 there shall be a time of trouble. 01:38 And as we look through the fog of our rapidly changing world, 01:42 we made a certain signs 01:44 that we are entering 01:45 into the little time of trouble, 01:47 which will no doubt 01:48 lead to this great time of trouble like none other. 01:52 Daniel says, since there was a nation. 01:55 This is an overwhelming thought for millions of people. 01:59 But the good news, 02:01 this warning is given with the hope in Christ 02:04 that His people shall be delivered if, 02:07 you notice in the Bible, there's usually an if, 02:10 their name is found written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 02:14 I want my name written there as I hope you do as well. 02:17 So let's join Pastor Kenny Shelton. 02:20 Again, our message is entitled, 02:23 "Seeing through the Fog of our Rapidly Changing World." 02:27 And see what the Lord has impressed upon his mind 02:30 to share with each and every one of us today. 02:32 But first Brother Tim Parton is going to bless us 02:36 with his piano rendition of Unclouded Day 02:40 as we take a quick visit to 3ABN. 05:01 Thank you for joining us once again here 05:03 at Behold the Lamb Ministry. 05:04 We appreciate you so very much. 05:06 Praise God, you know, 05:07 we just couldn't go on without you. 05:09 So again, we're very, very conscious of, 05:11 you know, your prayers and your support 05:12 of getting this ministry out there. 05:14 So the message can go around the world. 05:18 You know, just think about that. 05:19 The technology is there that, you know, 05:22 you can just simply say a word 05:23 and it goes about what, 23, 000 whatever miles up into space, 05:27 you know, and back 05:29 and around the world in about a half a second or so, 05:31 I mean that, to me that's just an awesome thought. 05:33 So we praise God 05:35 for that opportunity and privilege. 05:36 And again for you, 05:37 and we pray that you will, you know, 05:39 continue to support the ministry 05:40 that we may go into all the world. 05:43 Our subject today, and by the way, 05:44 you may wanna get a pencil and paper. 05:46 I have a tendency sometime to get, watch the clock. 05:48 And I know I have so much time. 05:50 And so I want to cover so many things. 05:51 And so many times I'll try to skip. 05:53 I'll tell you the reference, jot it down, 05:56 and then you can go back and study it out later. 05:58 'Cause I want you to do that because we are to study, 06:01 to show ourselves approved unto God 06:03 and, you know, workman that need not be ashamed. 06:05 Our subject today is seeing through the fog. 06:08 Notice that, seeing through the fog 06:10 of our rapidly changing world. 06:14 We must realize today, our world is changing quickly. 06:18 Every day there's changes. 06:21 I can't really keep up 06:22 with all the changes that's going on. 06:25 If you watch the news or the radio, 06:26 you listen to it or whatever, 06:27 they're just going one thing after the other, are they not? 06:30 One thing after the other, changes are taking place. 06:33 And listen, the changes are taking place 06:36 will affect you and will affect me. 06:40 It will affect God's last day people. 06:43 Who are God's last day people? 06:44 Anybody that wants to be. 06:46 Remember, it's going to affect us, 06:48 so some of the things that we will talk about today, 06:50 you might think, 06:52 "Well, I don't know how that fits." 06:54 But remember what happens in a global world. 06:57 And that's what we're talking about New World Order, 07:00 you know, it goes around the world 07:02 and what they do in China. 07:03 What they do in Russia will affect us. 07:06 What has happened, and you're right, 07:08 comes back to us. 07:09 So it's very important to realize and recognize 07:12 what God has said in His Word, 07:14 that there's going to be wars and rumors of Wars, 07:17 signs of His coming. 07:19 There's going to be famines and pestilences 07:20 and earthquakes. 07:22 So these things are just signs of the coming of Jesus. 07:25 So before we really dive into it, 07:27 I want to have prayer. 07:28 I know we have prayer several times, 07:31 and I'm always again grateful and thankful for those of you. 07:33 You know, that people will write in 07:36 and they will say, 07:37 "Every time you pray, we pray with you when we can. 07:40 We're going down the road. 07:41 We still may be driving, but we're praying with you." 07:44 Some people will say, 07:45 "We get in front of the television set 07:47 and we kneel down 07:48 and put our hand on it and we pray." 07:50 I thank you for that, 07:51 praise God, 'cause we need prayer. 07:52 It's all about the Spirit of the living God, 07:54 not about an individual. 07:56 It's about the Spirit of the living God. 07:58 So I'm gonna kneel up here and have prayer. 08:00 I invite you to do the same if you'd like to. 08:02 Let's pray together. 08:06 Merciful Father in heaven, 08:07 we thank You again for the privilege of prayer. 08:09 We thank You we can call You our Father. 08:11 Today, Lord, we come with a happy heart, 08:13 but yet with a heavy heart. 08:15 We realize things are taking place in the world 08:17 that tells us of Your soon coming. 08:19 It also tells us of events and things 08:21 that will happen to Your people 08:23 who will be faithful to the very end. 08:26 And so we pray today that 08:27 the Holy Spirit of the living God 08:28 will walk up and down these aisles. 08:30 Will go over the airways, 08:31 will reach and touch hearts and lives, 08:33 not for just today, but for eternity. 08:36 Thank you, Lord, for You always hearing. 08:39 Thank You for that You're going to answer. 08:40 Thank You that You've promised to send the Holy Spirit 08:43 to lead and guide us into all truth. 08:45 We claim that today, take this mess 08:48 that I'm getting ready to make. 08:50 And we pray that it'll go sweet into the ears of the hearers. 08:53 And that will tune us up 08:54 for Your soon coming in Jesus' name. 08:56 Amen. 08:58 You know what a title, 08:59 if you think about seeing through the fog. 09:01 You notice the last few days around here, 09:04 at least in Southern Illinois, there's been, 09:06 has anybody noticed a little fog 09:07 sometime early in the morning? 09:09 Well, if you're not, 09:10 you're not getting up too early, right? 09:11 Maybe it's probably, you might be sleeping in. 09:13 But those of us who get up early, 09:14 you look out and say, wow, there's a fog. 09:16 A fog simply means it's very difficult to see. 09:20 And you think about how, you know, how does fog, 09:23 how does it really come about? 09:24 I got this off of Google. 09:26 So you may have other thoughts about it, 09:28 but notice what it says. 09:29 It says, fog forms when cold air moves over what? 09:35 Something that's warm or warm water, 09:37 whatever it might be. 09:38 Notice this. 09:40 Now it says, the cold air mixes with the warm 09:43 and the moist air cools and humid. 09:48 When the humidity reaches 100%, fog forms. 09:53 Now I'm sure you can go into a lot more detail 09:54 maybe than I can with it, but notice there, fog forms. 09:59 And in my mind, when I was thinking about fog, 10:02 I got to thinking about, Jesus said, what in His word? 10:05 You remember this? 10:06 He said that I would, you would be what? 10:09 "Hot or cold and not lukewarm." 10:13 Hot and cold produces a fog. 10:17 Did you get it? 10:18 A fog. 10:19 Fog is dangerous. 10:22 A fog is dangerous to drive in. 10:25 You don't want to drive, 10:27 you know, to drive in when the fog is real thick 10:29 and you really can't see 50 or 60 feet in front of you 10:33 wherever you're going. 10:35 And so I thought about hot and cold 10:36 and that's to me maybe say why Jesus said it like He did, 10:40 because the enemy wants me and you to be in a fog. 10:44 You don't want to drive we mentioned in a fog. 10:48 You don't want a foggy brain. 10:52 Any of you ever get up. Oh, don't... 10:55 Now I don't want to see any hands on that. 10:58 I get up sometime and I've got a foggy brain. 11:02 I get up sometime 11:04 and Chris just looks in my eyes, she says, 11:05 "What's wrong?" 11:08 She read me like a book. 11:10 Foggy. 11:12 And sometimes that happens with people, 11:13 you know, thyroid, maybe it's not working 11:15 just properly or whatever. 11:16 Or some people say, 11:17 "I can't think." 11:19 You ever heard people say, 11:20 "I'm just not thinking properly today." 11:22 Something is wrong. 11:23 And you wanna get the, you know, the mechanism, 11:25 the body, to be able to think the way that we should. 11:29 You don't want to go, 11:32 listen carefully, to a foggy church. 11:37 Because in a foggy church, 11:38 somebody is not telling you the truth. 11:41 The Word of God needs not be foggy. 11:45 It needs to be taught. It needs to be preached. 11:48 It needs to be lived clear and strong. 11:51 Certainly not foggy. 11:54 I heard a man say one time. 11:55 He said, like I said, I never thought of it. 11:57 Like he just simply said, 11:59 "Clean windows are less prone to fog." 12:05 Now, take that wherever you want to go with it. 12:07 I thought how interesting, 12:08 clean windows are less likely to have fog on them. 12:14 Now you might wanna prove that, 12:16 some of you will go out 12:17 and dirty your windows and then try. 12:19 Okay. It's all right. Try it. 12:21 And as Christian we need to have clean windows. 12:25 Our windows don't need to be fogged up. 12:29 Our message that we have to give 12:31 from the Word of God needs to be clear. 12:33 It needs to be pointed. 12:34 It needs to be on target and we don't need any dirt. 12:37 We don't need any fog, right? 12:40 Just straight and open 12:41 as our lives should be before our God. 12:45 Seeing through the fog of a rapid changing world. 12:48 I wanna give you some encouragement today 12:50 because some of the things we'll talk about 12:51 in the time that we have 12:53 may just say, oh, I don't know about all of these things. 12:56 Because some people say, 12:57 "Oh, I think that's a conspiracy theory." 12:59 Listen, some of the people are trying to escape reality 13:01 and calling what's really taking place 13:03 a conspiracy theory. 13:05 So we just go, "Oh, well, we're not going to buy that." 13:07 If you knew and if I really knew 13:09 what was going on behind the scenes of this world 13:12 was soon to take place 13:13 and is taking place before our very eyes. 13:15 Some of us couldn't take it. 13:17 Is that understandable? 13:18 We could not take it because there's some... 13:20 Whoo! 13:21 There's some dirty underhanded things 13:23 that are going on contrary to the Word of God. 13:27 And somebody needs to blow the trumpet in Zion. 13:30 Somebody needs to stand for what is right. 13:32 And what is truth today. 13:35 It makes a difference. 13:36 I'm telling you, it makes a difference 13:38 for God's people here 13:39 in these last days of earth's history. 13:41 So, I wanna just talk to you just for a moment. 13:43 If we could somehow behold Jesus today, 13:46 this is where I want. 13:47 This is a platform I wanna build. 13:48 If we could just behold Jesus, 13:50 our precious Lord and our Savior. 13:53 If we could see Him as He is. 13:56 If the hand would draw aside a veil 14:00 that can, you know, that reveals His glory. 14:04 We could really see Him as He is. 14:07 It shows that He's in a high and holy place. 14:11 Think about it. 14:12 We try to lift ourselves above God sometime. 14:14 We read the Word of God 14:15 and think we know more than God knows about it. 14:19 Think how, can I use the word silly? 14:21 How silly that is? 14:23 I want to use some few other things, but I won't. 14:25 How silly it is 14:26 that we think we might know more than God, 14:29 because you know how I say that? 14:30 Because people will say, 14:32 I know what it says in the Word, 14:33 but times have changed. 14:36 Don't you think God understands the times? 14:38 Absolutely, He does. Truth never changes. 14:41 Remember that, truth never changes. 14:44 If you think for a moment 14:46 that our Savior is sitting in silence today, 14:50 if you think for a moment, 14:51 that He's, there's inactivity going on in heaven. 14:54 I think there's activity going on in heaven, 14:57 because heaven is preparing to come through 14:59 down here to this earth. 15:01 He's preparing to come and take us back with Him. 15:05 If we could see today 15:07 that there are heavenly intelligences. 15:10 The Bible talks about them as cherubims, you remember, 15:13 and seraphims. 15:15 The Bible says ten thousand time ten thousands 15:17 and thousands of thousands minister before Him. 15:21 Isn't that wonderful to know 15:23 that God has a ministering spirit angels 15:25 for every person on this planet and many more. 15:28 And some of us need to be praying 15:29 for the double portion of that angel 15:32 that takes care rather than just one. 15:33 I need somebody in front of me and I need somebody behind me. 15:36 Whoo. 15:37 I need somebody on this side and on that side. 15:42 But this is good 15:43 regardless of what's going on in the world today, 15:45 here's hope and encouragement. 15:48 Remember these angels are working 15:51 under the commission, 15:52 as it were to save to the uttermost. 15:56 Notice it. All who believe what? 15:58 In Jesus Christ is what the Bible said 16:00 in Hebrews7:25, 16:02 "To save to the uttermost all who believe in Him." 16:07 Psalms 1:21 simply says, 16:09 "He that keepeth thee or Israel 16:12 shall neither slumber nor sleep." 16:15 We serve a God that what? That doesn't get tired. 16:18 He doesn't get tired of you. 16:19 He doesn't get tired of me, seeing us fail, 16:23 come short many times over and over. 16:26 And we come back to Him, right? 16:27 He picks us up, dust us off 16:29 and sets our feet on solid ground again 16:32 and says, go ahead. 16:34 How many times would you do that 16:35 for your fellow man? 16:37 When God already knows what you're up to. 16:39 God already knows when, how much you've done 16:41 and what you know, in life. 16:44 Or today, are we in some kind of a fog. 16:49 I talked to a man this week. 16:53 In fact he promised to be here. 16:54 So, I guess, you know where I'll be going 16:55 in the first day of the week. 16:59 Is that all right to do that? 17:01 Well, yeah, we care. 17:03 We care something must have happened, 17:04 whatever it is. 17:05 But I was saying a number of years ago, 17:07 there was an evangelist. 17:08 He's holding a series of meetings 17:11 in a large city. 17:13 And there were several young men that, 17:15 you know, heard these truths. 17:16 And they said, "Oh, wow, 17:18 man these, we believe that's Bible truth." 17:22 But you know what? 17:23 They weren't willing to surrender to Him. 17:27 Because there was obstacles, there were circumstances, 17:31 things going on in their life that they knew it was truth. 17:34 They knew they should do it, but yet they, 17:35 "Oh, I just can't do it." 17:40 But when you questioned them, they said, 17:41 we are in full agreement 17:43 that what has been taught is the truth. 17:45 Now relate to it maybe in your own life 17:47 or maybe a friend or someone has talked to you. 17:51 Oh, we believe it. 17:52 We know that it's truth and... 17:55 It's probably more truth 17:56 than anything we've ever heard before 17:58 is what these young men said. 17:59 But the one man said, you know what? 18:03 I just can't. 18:05 I can't follow up because my mother wouldn't like it. 18:09 My mother would be upset with me 18:11 if I followed these truths. 18:16 Another man stepped up, young man said, 18:18 "Oh, man, I can't, 18:20 because I've got a new, oh, boy, 18:21 I've got a new girlfriend. 18:23 She wouldn't be happy with the changes 18:25 that I'd need to make. 18:26 She'd be upset with me. 18:28 And I don't want that to happen." 18:31 Even though they just said, I know it's truth, 18:32 I know it's right. I know what I need to be doing. 18:35 Another one declared, you know what? 18:37 I can't really follow this message 18:39 because I have a business. 18:43 And what would happen to my business 18:44 if I made some changes. 18:46 Hmm. 18:48 Well, the story goes on 18:50 and it wasn't very long 18:52 because this was just about the time of World War II. 18:55 There wasn't very long 18:56 that these three men were drafted. 19:00 Huh? 19:02 They were drafted in the US Army. 19:05 It's kind of interesting. 19:07 They now said, notice, 19:09 they couldn't say goodbye before to certain things. 19:12 But now the first man said goodbye to mom, 19:15 and away he went. 19:17 The second guy said goodbye to the girlfriend, 19:20 and away he went. 19:22 The third man who could not leave 19:23 because of his business, left his business. 19:29 They left it behind. They went to Europe. 19:32 They stood in the trenches. 19:34 Even when the mud may have been a foot deeper or more, 19:37 they stood in these trenches because they were told to. 19:42 They laid down on cold, cold ground night after night. 19:47 Food was at a shortage. 19:50 It was difficult to keep warm, 19:52 yet they obeyed all of their orders 19:55 from their commander. 19:58 When he said march, they marched. 20:01 And I'll say it nicely. 20:02 When he said be quiet, they were quiet. 20:06 When he said, get up, they got up. 20:08 When he said sit down, they sat down. 20:12 They did this in the rain. They did it in the snow. 20:16 They did it when bullets were flying over their head, 20:21 and any one of them could have killed them. 20:24 But you know what? 20:26 Hundreds died, including these men. 20:31 They never came back. 20:34 But notice, 20:36 but they were obedient unto death 20:40 in this sense, right? 20:42 That the commander of the US Army said to do it, 20:44 so they did it and they died doing it. 20:47 But they had trouble in the beginning 20:49 as you will know. 20:51 They all did it for Uncle Sam. 20:55 I'm saying today, 20:57 if men could do so much for their country 21:02 and I believe that we should, where we can. 21:05 Surely, we can do much more for our Lord and Savior 21:08 who came down and lived the life, 21:10 died on Calvary's cross and offers you eternal life. 21:14 Somehow they couldn't seem to do 21:17 what they needed to do. 21:19 But when Uncle Sam came around, 21:21 somehow they did the impossible it seems like. 21:25 Now it makes me think. 21:28 Seeing through this fog of our rapidly changing world, 21:33 because all of us are going to be, 21:34 or are faced right now with some kind of obstacle. 21:38 If I ask some of you here, 21:40 is there any obstacles in your life? 21:41 Is there some things that you're going through right now 21:43 that you gotta make a decision on? 21:45 Suppose everybody here would say, "Oh yeah." 21:47 There's a lot of things 21:49 that's going to affect my life and the life of many others. 21:53 And so, I challenge you, 21:54 what kind of a choice would you make? 21:59 Men with such reasoning as those young men back there, 22:03 and I'm going to be bold about it 22:05 will never get into the kingdom of God. 22:09 Are you still with me? 22:11 They couldn't do it when God called them. 22:13 But when man called them, they did it. 22:19 Bible says in Matthew 7:21, 22:21 that not everyone that saith what? 22:24 "Not every one that saith, Lord, 22:25 Lord will enter into the kingdom, but he that" 22:28 what? 22:29 He that doeth the will of my Father 22:32 which is in heaven." 22:34 Not everybody said, Lord, oh, we go to church, 22:36 oh, we do this, we do that. 22:38 You gotta be doing the will of the heavenly Father. 22:39 Are we doing His will by God's grace, 22:42 a faith that works. 22:47 I wanna go quickly to a book, 22:51 Brian Kennedy's book. 22:52 I referred to it in some previous lessons. 22:54 And I wanna take some more things out of that 22:55 because I think it pertains to us today. 23:00 The book that he wrote, 23:02 I thought was very interesting is called 23:04 "Communist China's War Inside America." 23:09 Now what possible good could this do for us 23:11 in reading scripture and prophecy, 23:14 where it talks about wars and rumors of wars, 23:15 and there's all kinds of plagues, 23:17 all kinds of things that are going on. 23:18 People are doing secret things. 23:20 People are stealing other secrets. 23:21 Things are going on 23:23 that may affect you and may affect me 23:27 in our relationship with Christ. 23:29 And what lies ahead you may have today, 23:32 but you may be a have not tomorrow. 23:34 Does that make sense? 23:36 You may think you're getting by today. 23:37 Tomorrow you may not have anything. 23:39 You may say, I've got this in the bank 23:40 and I've got that, da-da... 23:42 it doesn't matter. 23:45 We need to do the will of our heavenly Father. 23:49 This man in his book and he did a lot of research. 23:52 I read a little bit about him. 23:53 He did a lot of research in his book. 23:56 I figure he knows what he's talking about here, 23:58 but I'm throwing them out 24:00 for you just to think for just a moment with me. 24:02 Because I believe 24:03 if these things come to fruition, 24:05 it's going to affect United States of America 24:09 and is affecting the United States of America. 24:15 He says, 24:16 "There is going to be a confrontation. 24:19 There's going to be a war 24:21 between United States and China." 24:23 Just think, don't try to make any decisions. 24:26 God knows. 24:28 He said, "There's going to be a confrontation." 24:30 And he said, "You know, we need to be very careful with this." 24:34 Of course, he's thinking 24:35 more about the physical aspect of it. 24:37 But I think we're thinking about the physical 24:39 and the spiritual. 24:41 The spiritual aspect of this. 24:45 After all China has 1.4 billion people. 24:52 America has what? 24:54 320 million or 325 million. Is that right, about that? 24:58 Is anybody home? 24:59 Think about this. China has what? 25:02 1.4 billion people. 25:06 What would that be? 25:07 Would that be four times or so more, a lot more people. 25:12 And the area of China 25:13 is just a little bit bigger than the United States. 25:15 Did you know that? 25:18 Lot more people per square mile than we do? 25:20 We have like 90, just not talking about the cities, 25:23 but just per square mile. 25:24 They have like 400. 25:26 That's a lot of people, a lot of plans are going on. 25:31 They have, in fact, in their military, 25:33 they have 2.8 million people and more that's active. 25:40 They have the world's largest Navy. 25:46 In the last five years, 25:48 United States, they play war games. 25:51 Anybody heard about that? 25:52 They play war games. 25:54 Couple of you have, right? 25:56 They play war games 25:57 'cause they match up what some country, 26:00 it might be a challenge to us what they have, 26:02 how many people they have, 26:04 what kind of, you know, 26:05 stuff they have in their servers 26:06 and so on and so forth. 26:08 And they've done this the last five years. 26:10 United States, notice it, war games, simulation 26:15 in which the US is pitted against China. 26:19 The US has failed to come out victorious 26:23 in any of those five years. 26:26 I mean, God knows, but think about it. 26:29 Because it's touted 26:30 that we're the most powerful and so on, right? 26:32 Nation in the world. We have nothing really to fear. 26:34 And when we need to, you know, keep our eyes open. 26:37 There's a famous book, titled, 26:39 "Unrestricted Warfare in 1999." 26:45 And in this war book, 26:47 it talks about the warfare 26:48 and they questioned people in China. 26:52 How far will you go if you're in a war, 26:54 what will you use if need be to be victorious, 26:57 even with the United States of America? 27:00 Here's what they responded. 27:02 They said, "We're gonna use economic warfare." 27:06 If anybody's seeing 27:07 any of this stuff happened right now, 27:09 economic warfare. 27:10 It's interesting how close we are in economics 27:12 with China and Japan. 27:14 You think about it. 27:15 "We're gonna use economic warfare. 27:18 We're going to use cyber warfare. 27:20 Come on somebody. 27:22 We're going to use information warfare. 27:24 We're going to send false signals 27:26 all over to confused people. 27:29 We're gonna use political warfare. 27:33 We're going to use terrorism. 27:35 And we're going to use, notice, biological warfare. 27:39 And if we have to, 27:40 we'll use nuclear weapons if it comes to that." 27:46 Remember we serve the One that's greater, 27:48 but keep these things in mind, if you will, 27:51 because this information is important to us to digest. 27:57 Things have started now 27:58 that we talked about several weeks in a row 28:00 about the great what? 28:02 Reset. 28:03 The world, right, is punching the button now of reset 28:07 that we will not in the very near 28:09 if we're careful near future, if God lets it go, 28:11 we will not be able to recognize 28:13 this country that we live in. 28:15 That's how many changes are on the horizon. 28:18 And it doesn't seem to be that good for us. 28:22 Reset. 28:23 Start over again, 28:26 unless God overrules 28:28 and clears this fog away 28:30 for this rapidly changing world. 28:33 Cover several points quickly as we can, 28:35 time just really went by. 28:39 Four points quickly. 28:41 So what, China's talking about it, 28:43 what are they up to? 28:44 How will it affect us? 28:48 Notice what they're doing right now, 28:50 they are perfecting. 28:51 And we sort of, we are to a system 28:53 that can monitor all the people constantly 28:58 using tools of the social media. 29:02 What are they doing? 29:04 They've got that just about 100% down, Pat, 29:06 and you know what might happen to us 29:07 and what they're doing now. 29:09 They're tracing everybody. 29:10 They want to know where everybody's at 29:12 and what everybody is up to. 29:14 Good, bad or ugly, just think about it here. 29:16 Because we realize 29:17 there's things coming along in Bible prophecy, 29:19 that is as though that, 29:21 you know, there's going to be a tracing as there were, 29:24 there's going to be people. 29:25 The Bible says you'll not be able to buy 29:26 or what or sell say you have the mark. 29:29 You don't want the mark. 29:31 The Bible talks about the mark. You have the mark, right? 29:33 Your names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 29:35 So it behooves us to understand what the mark of the beast is. 29:38 What the image to the beast is. 29:40 And yet you don't hear it from the pulpit 29:42 like I think that we ought to be hearing it. 29:45 Because it is a warning 29:46 and when you see these things come to pass, 29:49 Jesus said, 29:50 "Lift up your head, 29:51 for your redemption draweth nigh" 29:54 Interesting, even in China, 29:56 we know that China has had a difficult time 29:58 with Christianity. 30:00 And they've killed a lot of Christians. 30:02 Notice what they're doing right now. 30:04 They're changing the textbooks even. 30:07 They're promoting a false account 30:09 of Christianity, 30:11 and they're starting with the life of Jesus. 30:15 And the story in the Book of John, 30:17 where Jesus is confronted with the lady 30:20 that's caught in adultery, you remember? 30:21 Right. 30:23 And He kneels down 30:24 and He talks to her right there. 30:25 And He writes some things in the sand, 30:27 notice how they changed that. 30:29 "Jesus kneels down and He begins to talk to her, " 30:32 China says, 30:34 "and He confesses to her, I'm a sinner too." 30:39 I'm a sinner too. 30:41 The Bible says, He's tempted at all points like as we, 30:45 yet without sin. 30:50 He can't stand in for me if He's a sinner. 30:53 Wow. 30:55 So they said that, 30:56 and then He dismisses all the people around her 30:59 and then He takes a stone and He stones her to death. 31:03 They're changing things around. So you have a false concept. 31:06 They're seeing through a fog of who Jesus really is. 31:10 We need the truth of who He is and what He can do for you 31:13 and is willing to do for you. 31:15 What He wants to do for this country, 31:18 how He wants to save you, 31:19 how you're the most important person 31:21 on this planet. 31:23 We can feel that way because He looks at us individually. 31:26 I died for them. 31:28 To have a savior of the world, 31:29 the creator of the universe to look down and say, 31:31 I would have done it if they've just been one. 31:35 They'd just been one Carlos, I'd have for died for him. 31:40 If you look at it into the point 31:42 that He looked down at me and he said, 31:43 I'd do it if just Kenny accepted me, 31:46 I would do it. 31:47 If I looked down and saw Kenny, I'd say, I'm not gonna do it. 31:50 Okay. Rest of you are not at home. 31:55 Think about it. 31:56 I mean, we might think more highly of ourselves. 31:58 If we said, well, He looked down, 32:00 He saw something really good in me. 32:01 He looked down at me 32:03 and He said, man, we're all sinners. 32:05 We're in need of a savior. 32:07 There's no way that they can come out 32:09 of this on their own. 32:11 It's unfair. 32:12 They're no match for the enemy, but I'll be a match. 32:17 Isn't that wonder? I'll be a match. 32:18 And by the grace of God, I'll be, 32:20 we'll be more than conquerors through Jesus Christ. 32:23 We're seeing through a fog. The fog needs to go. 32:26 The hot air needs to go. 32:28 Isn't that right, the cold air coming together. 32:30 We need to be on fire for the cause of Jesus Christ. 32:36 So despite this, 32:39 this here they're talking about Christianity 32:41 and about monitoring people and so on so forth. 32:44 They have this, they call it CCP, 32:46 which is the Chinese Communist Party, CCP. 32:51 They have a long history, 32:52 you can read it yourself of persecuting Christians. 32:56 But interesting, 32:58 Pope Francis 32:59 will renew his agreement with them. 33:03 That gives its effective control 33:05 over how the Catholic Church is run in China. 33:10 He knows what they've done to the Christian, so on, 33:12 but they still, they sign an agreement. 33:15 Interesting. 33:17 Three, Walsh Street. 33:19 Anybody heard about Walsh Street, 33:21 what's going on? 33:22 They're working well with China. 33:25 They're betting. 33:27 They're investing that China will succeed 33:29 and they're doing all that they can 33:30 for China to succeed. 33:33 Notice this. 33:34 Our great investment banks are now selling, listen, 33:38 trillions of dollars in debt 33:41 and equality in Chinese corporations 33:45 to American investors and retirees. 33:49 Well, when you buy into that, what? 33:50 You want them to, what? Succeed. 33:53 That's how they make money. 33:55 Walsh Street's involved in all of these things. 33:57 Now, number four quickly, notice, in May 13th, 2019, 34:02 this is affecting us Bible prophecy, 34:04 we need to wake up. 34:07 I don't know what it's gonna take for us to wake up. 34:09 I don't know what it's gonna take 34:11 for God's people really, 34:12 you know, to really be on fire. 34:14 To really hit the target, 34:16 to really be serious about church. 34:17 You're serious about church, you'll be here. 34:20 That makes sense? 34:22 You're not serious about, you're wishy-washy, 34:23 and we know that blah, blah, blah, 34:25 back and forth all the time. 34:26 You're not serious. Let's just be honest about it. 34:28 Not trying to be judgmental. 34:29 I'm just trying to say, that's the way. 34:31 If I'm serious about something, man, I'm there all the time. 34:36 I don't draw back from things 34:37 because you know, I get serious about this. 34:41 Man, the enemy has fogged our minds 34:44 that we can't even comprehend the changing rapid world. 34:48 That's how rapidly it's changing. 34:49 We just can't seem to comprehend it. 34:51 We think this too shall pass 34:52 like it has all the other times. 34:54 This may be it. 34:57 This may be it. 34:58 God in His mercy doesn't just boom. 35:01 And that's it. 35:02 The time will come when He will, 35:04 but He gives mercy. 35:06 He gives people time, 35:08 to adjust and to look at the situation 35:11 and make an intelligent decision 35:12 by His grace and strength. 35:15 But remember in May 13th, 2019, 35:18 that's not that long ago, is it? 35:20 Hmm. 35:21 The People's Republic of China through their news agency, 35:24 we'll mention that in just a moment. 35:26 That's controlled by the Chinese Government Party 35:29 declared, notice this, 35:31 "a people's war, " 35:32 is somebody home? 35:35 They declared, China declared "a people's war" 35:38 on the United States. 35:40 What does that mean? 35:43 It specifically was made because of the tariffs 35:46 that was placed upon China. 35:48 They were mad and they didn't like it. 35:51 And they said, we are going to, 35:54 you know, basically you gonna pay for it. 35:56 Now this concerns us. 36:00 What is the 'people's war'? 36:03 Well, let's think back just for a moment 36:05 because it's affected us. 36:07 It's changing our country. 36:08 It's changing our world 36:10 and it's not gonna stop anywhere soon that I can see. 36:15 We know that the virus, the COVID-19, right? 36:19 Begins spreading in the fall of 2019, 36:24 you noticed in 2000, 13 May, 36:27 that's just a few months, right? 36:29 This is where the people said 36:30 we declaring war 36:32 on the United States, the people. 36:35 Just a few months later, 36:37 COVID-19 began spreading 36:39 in the fall of 2019 in Wuhan. 36:45 Think about it. 36:49 Man, with this virus, you know what they did? 36:52 We realized they allowed people, right? 36:54 You could, you know, they wouldn't, and notice here, 36:58 they wouldn't have the virus. 37:00 They allowed people with it 37:01 to fly to United States and to Europe, 37:05 but they cut their flights into their country. 37:09 Just something to think about, shutting down those flights. 37:15 Now, was that a part of the people's war? 37:17 I don't know if anybody can prove that or not. 37:19 Interesting how it came about in just a matter of few months, 37:22 but notice this. 37:24 We don't know for sure, 37:25 but the virus did set into motion, 37:29 a radical reorientation of American society 37:34 that has noticed this, that has gone, notice this, 37:37 has grave economic and political consequences. 37:43 See, we can't fight that, 37:45 what's happened with the COVID-19 has what? 37:48 Grave... 37:54 Think about it. 37:55 It's just like, Oh, grave! 37:59 Grave! 38:01 And political consequences. 38:04 Things have really happened, 38:07 whether they meant for it to or not. 38:09 Now when challenged on this is this honesty 38:13 regarding the virus origin, 38:16 the CCP, that's a Chinese Communist Party 38:20 over their news agency, 38:22 which is a radio station there called Xinhua 38:28 threatened that China, 38:29 this is what, you don't wanna miss this. 38:31 They did. 38:32 They threatened that China could plunge America 38:35 into a mighty sea of Coronavirus. 38:40 Is somebody's home? 38:41 Basically they said, 38:43 "This is what we can do if we want to. 38:46 And now we'll tell you how we can do it." 38:49 Huh! 38:51 Here's what they pointed out on that radio station. 38:54 Because we, China, we control the supply chain 38:59 for the active pharmaceuticals. 39:02 The ingredients used in production 39:05 of 90% of our medicines that says what? 39:09 90% of our medicines 39:11 we have in this country is produced 39:13 and made in where? 39:14 They say, 39:16 "They can do whatever they might want 39:17 with that medicine that comes over here." 39:21 And whether or not you've got to think about it. 39:24 So they're letting you know right then and there, 39:26 you better look out. 39:29 90% of our medications come from China. 39:34 Now, praise God, our government, 39:36 as far as I know is working to correct that now, 39:39 but that may be in time to come. 39:44 They also believe that China is certainly is involved in, 39:46 I say it nicely you know, as I can. 39:49 And a lot of things has happened 39:50 in this country lately, 39:52 different parties of China is funding it. 39:55 You can go from there with it. 39:57 When you see a lot of the burning 39:58 and different things 39:59 that the riot not protest, but riots 40:02 and all can be proven. 40:05 We need to look at it. 40:07 What does this mean to us? 40:09 Do you realize other people of other countries, 40:14 they're cheering this. 40:16 They're kind of happy about it. 40:19 Of the corruption, the division and the violence 40:22 and the fog that's going on in our cities, 40:25 the tearing down of the United States of America 40:27 and other nations. 40:28 And we talked about because of the global plan, 40:31 the reset button has been pushed. 40:35 And there's a lot of people behind that. 40:37 We must remember Revelation 13:11-18. 40:41 You remember what in Revelation 13, 40:42 the Bible prophecy. 40:44 Revelation 13, when you go 11 through 18, 40:47 that depicts and identifies 40:48 the United States in Bible, what? 40:52 The majority of the world does not know that. 40:54 I feel sad about that. 40:56 It's easy to figure out. 40:59 Think about it. 41:01 If you have Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, 41:02 pagan Rome, papal Rome, so on. 41:04 All these things 41:05 that are identified a big world, 41:07 one world government powers. 41:08 Why wouldn't the United States as great a country as it is 41:11 that God raised up for religious freedom. 41:15 And now that's been taken away, trying to, freedom of press. 41:21 You can't say what you want to say, 41:23 because they'll say it's a hate crime. 41:27 And I always say this, 41:28 it's not a hate crime, it's a love crime 41:30 what I'm trying to talk about. 41:33 Hey, come on somebody. 41:34 It's a love crime if you want to put it under it, 41:37 because you love the people. 41:38 You realize you might get in trouble, 41:40 but you love the people 41:41 because God says to warn the people 41:43 what's taking place. 41:45 Get rid of that fog. 41:51 Revelation 13 talks about the United States. 41:53 It comes up like a lamb, the Bible says, 41:55 but it begins to speak as what? 41:58 It begins to speak as the dragon. 42:01 Now, citizens fled, did they not? 42:04 People or Christians fled Europe. 42:08 They came here to this country for religious freedom. 42:12 They wanted a government civil and religious liberty. 42:17 Declaration of the Independence says, 42:19 all men are created, what? 42:21 It says, "All men are created equal." 42:23 Now, remember why I mentioned this? 42:25 Because part of Bible prophecy is that every right, 42:27 we look at it, 42:29 with our Bill of Rights in the Constitution, 42:31 every point of it will be repudiated. 42:34 That means that we worked around 42:36 and you see right now 42:37 every day you hear about the constitutional rights. 42:39 You hear about what everybody, 42:41 but they're finding ways to go around every point of it, 42:43 if they want to get you. 42:51 And so, we see here that, you know, God said, 42:53 you're created equal. 42:54 You have the right to life and liberty 42:57 and the pursuit of happiness. 43:00 The Constitution guarantees 43:03 that we can have a representative 43:06 or elected representative by the popular vote. 43:10 And they would enact laws and administrate, 43:13 you know, the laws. 43:18 How about freedom of faith, freedom of religion, faith, 43:21 religious faith? 43:22 Is that important today? 43:25 This is it. This is what it's all about. 43:27 Not so much right or wrong. 43:28 It's about what maintaining religious freedom 43:31 that you can worship. 43:32 God, if you want to. 43:34 And if you don't want to, you don't have to. 43:36 You can worship Him, right? 43:37 You don't need to, you know, your conscience, 43:39 the way you feel that you ought to, 43:41 as you study the Word of God, 43:42 they don't want to do that anymore. 43:43 Things are being changed right now. 43:46 Republicanism, Protestantism is the principles 43:49 of this United States of America. 43:52 Great Controversy in 441 says this, 43:56 "These principles are the secret of the power 43:59 and prosperity." 44:01 What's the secret? 44:02 Secret of power and prosperity. 44:04 Again, we're fogged over. We don't know it. 44:06 I submit for your thought today. 44:08 Maybe we have lost the secret 44:10 to that power and that prosperity. 44:13 Because we're no longer going by these things anymore, 44:16 because the world is changing, because it's resetting. 44:20 Socialism, communism, 44:22 this is where this country is headed. 44:24 There's no doubt about it. 44:25 We talk about it and we should. 44:27 So as you see these things to come to pass. 44:32 We must be careful about those who are leading out. 44:36 Check them out. 44:38 You don't just accept what someone says as a leader. 44:40 No. Well, 'cause they said so. 44:43 Because the Bible is very clear about the leaders 44:45 caused the people to what? 44:47 To err. 44:49 Isaiah 3:12, we're talking about a foggy. 44:52 You talking about some fog here. 44:54 Isaiah 3:12 says, 44:56 "As for my people, notice, 44:59 children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. 45:04 My people, 45:06 they which lead thee cause thee to err 45:09 and destroy the way of thy paths." 45:12 Now it's talking about children. 45:14 It simply means that some of the leadership today 45:16 are thinking like children, 45:17 not that children were leading it, 45:19 but their minds are like children. 45:20 You notice this. 45:22 It says the women rule over them. 45:25 Not literally because back at the time 45:26 when this was written things to today, 45:28 we realize here that the influence, 45:32 many times influence was a hindrance. 45:35 Influence of a wife toward her husband 45:38 or those who are in position can influence them 45:40 to do the right thing or the wrong thing. 45:44 Isaiah 9:16, 45:46 "For the leaders of this people cause them to err, 45:49 and they that are led of them are destroyed." 45:52 Now may sound boring to some, may think it's not a big deal. 45:56 But remember, the leadership, somebody always says, 45:58 well, the leader said, we ought to do this. 45:59 We ought to do that. 46:01 But should come from the Word of God, should it not? 46:04 Absolutely should come from the Word of God. 46:06 Nine minutes or so, 10 we'll be done. 46:08 Amos 2:4. 46:09 The Bible said, 46:10 "Because they have despised the law of God, 46:13 and have not kept his commandments, 46:15 and their lies caused them to err." 46:19 How many times have you heard all the time on the news 46:22 somebody lied? 46:23 I hear that all the time, somebody lied. 46:26 Well, they lied. 46:27 And the next group get up and say, well, they lied. 46:30 Somebody's lying. 46:31 And the Bible says, because number one, 46:33 they have not kept God's commandments. 46:35 They've thrown them out of the door. 46:37 And now they're speaking lies and it causes people to err. 46:40 It's hard for us to make an intelligent decision 46:43 because this one sounds convincing. 46:45 Aren't you glad we have the Word of God 46:47 that we can go line upon line, 46:49 precept upon precept, 46:50 here a little, there a little to find out what truth is, 46:53 and not have to rely upon any man 46:54 to tell us what to believe. 46:56 I think that's beautiful. Praise God for that. 46:59 Review and Herald 324 in '96 says this. 47:02 I love it because 47:03 it talks about the watchman on the walls of Zion. 47:06 It says, notice this, 47:07 "The watchman on the walls of Zion, 47:10 should not join with those 47:11 who are making of non effect the truth as it is in Christ." 47:15 Now, if you're a watchman on the walls of Zion, 47:17 notice this, 47:19 you are not to, I am not to join with those 47:21 who are making non effect the truth as it is in Christ. 47:25 But how often I see that even among us, 47:29 we're making as it were little contracts 47:30 and we're done, you know. 47:33 They're making the message we have 47:34 a kind of a laughing stock. 47:36 It says we're not to join with them. 47:39 Maybe that's why the Bible said, 47:40 and you know, unless two agree, how can they do, what? 47:43 How can they walk together? 47:46 You can't. 47:48 But many times we're listening and we're just going what? 47:50 It doesn't really matter. 47:52 No, if they're making of non effect the truth 47:54 as it is in Jesus Christ, 47:56 we are not to hook up with them as it were. 47:58 We're not to join together with them 48:01 in any kind of fashion with those who oppose truth. 48:05 But how often do we do that? 48:08 We've got to follow the counsel of God 48:10 or we're fogged over to where 48:12 we just can't understand these changes 48:14 that are quickly taking place? 48:16 The Bible said in Isaiah 24:5, it said, 48:20 "The earth is also defiled." 48:22 It said, what? 48:23 "The earth is defiled under the habitations thereof, 48:26 notice, because they've transgressed," what? 48:29 "The laws they've changed the ordinances 48:31 and broken the everlasting covenant." 48:34 Why are we going through 48:35 what we're going through in this world? 48:37 Could it possibly be 48:39 that we've transgressed the laws of God, 48:42 that we tried to change His ordinance. 48:43 Tried to change the truth into a lie and lie into truth. 48:49 We've broken the covenant with God, 48:51 the agreement with God. 48:53 Maybe that's why 48:55 the world's in the mess that it's in today. 48:56 That's how the Bible is talking to us here. 48:59 Also Isaiah 24:20, 49:02 "The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, 49:06 and shall be removed like a cottage, 49:09 the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, 49:12 and it shall fall and not rise again." 49:17 If you think this is your home, 49:19 if you think you're going to just last forever here, 49:22 as we talked about earlier, this world is not our home. 49:26 But we have to come to the point to realize 49:28 we are just passing through. 49:30 Man, don't let it just be words. 49:32 I feel like sometime it's just words. 49:34 You hear it. 49:35 People have the answers, 49:37 especially people who've been around the truth. 49:38 You know, talking about, about Adventism the message. 49:41 Oh, yeah. We know, blah, blah, blah. 49:43 But what are we really doing about it? 49:46 Not just talk, we know. 49:49 It's going to fall 49:51 and it's not going to rise again. 49:52 Isaiah 26:9, 49:54 "For when thy judgments are in the earth, 49:56 notice this, 49:57 the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." 50:00 When the judgments are what? 50:03 Is our judgments falling in the world now? 50:05 Judgments are falling in this world right and left. 50:09 But you know what? Most of us don't see it. 50:13 Most of us don't comprehend it. 50:15 So when you say it up here, 50:16 it's like, oh, yeah, here we go again. 50:18 That's right. Here we go again. 50:20 I'm gonna go again. 50:23 Because we should. 50:25 Because judgments are falling. 50:27 We're even told what they are, right? 50:29 Land, sea and air and fire, 50:31 and all these things has happened. 50:32 Tornadoes and floods, 50:34 there're things that are happening, what? 50:35 Surely the Pete, some of us will get it. 50:39 Is that okay to say? 50:41 I mean that's the way I feel in my heart. 50:42 I'm just talking to you. 50:44 Surely we will get it 50:46 rather than to say it doesn't matter anymore. 50:47 Or, well, you know, we got plenty of time, 50:49 I don't want to work. 50:50 No, how long does this stuff have to go on before we say no, 50:53 that's it. 50:56 It's when these judgments are in. 50:58 It's when things get bad, 51:00 it's when there seem to be no way out, 51:02 then notice the Bible says there, 51:03 notice this, it says, 51:05 the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 51:10 Do you ever notice that 51:12 sometimes when we're flat on our back, 51:13 it's when we think we're going to die. 51:15 It's when we don't have a payment, 51:17 you know, pay the house payment, 51:18 and there's no other place to go. 51:20 And all of a sudden we decide to look up finally. 51:22 And all of a sudden we learn righteousness 51:24 or we give our life to Christ. 51:26 If we'd only done that to begin with God's cup. 51:30 This world is crumbling around us. 51:33 Earth, the earth cup. 51:34 Think about it, is full of evil right now. 51:37 God lets that cup fill 51:39 until it begins to go over the top 51:40 and then He says, "That's it." 51:43 To me it could be already any time, 51:45 when God says, that's it. 51:47 The judgments are falling. 51:48 When will we learn righteousness? 51:50 Are we gonna wait till it hits somebody close to us? 51:53 Or maybe well, till it hits us. 51:54 Why do that? 51:57 Give your life to Him right now. 51:59 Warning after warning goes out from pulpit, 52:01 warning after warning, if you read in the Word of God, 52:04 and yet sometime 52:05 we just reject warning after warning. 52:09 We are repeating the sins of the known ancient world 52:12 in Noah's time. 52:13 We're repeating it or it's worse than it was then. 52:18 God is soon to rise out. 52:21 He's rise up and come out, He's calling us out. 52:26 He's calling the people out 52:28 to give a message 52:29 that's different 52:31 than the rest of the world is giving. 52:35 When He rises up, there'll be no stopping. 52:39 The world's going to come to a quick end. 52:42 Isaiah 27:5, couple of minutes left. 52:44 Notice, He pleads with us. 52:45 He says, "Or let him take hold of my strength, 52:49 that he may make peace with me, 52:51 and he shall make peace with me." 52:53 This is good news. 52:54 You see, what God is saying? 52:56 He's saying during this time of the COVID, 52:58 during this time of the economy, 53:00 during this time of all these changes, 53:01 everything's taking place 53:03 that we just can't even balance it up. 53:04 All the hook and the crook 53:05 and all the mess that's going on. 53:07 All the selling out. 53:08 When it comes to the time that we're in right now, 53:10 where you know, they're touting in 53:12 and offering rewards 53:13 if you call and snitch on your neighbor. 53:15 Brother Mark, don't you see it's getting ready 53:17 to see for the time when they, 53:18 the mother turns against daughter 53:20 and father against son. 53:21 People are calling in their neighbors saying 53:23 they have six people over at their house. 53:25 They're only supposed to have five, 53:26 another place you can have six, 53:27 another place you can have eight. 53:29 Just two different families, you know, in there. 53:31 Since when they have a right to tell you 53:32 what you can have in your home? 53:34 It's come to that. 53:37 So, you need not be afraid. 53:38 And I'll take, "Well, this can't happen 53:40 when you can't buy and sell my lands." 53:43 It's already past that. 53:44 It's just a matter of going back 53:46 to an isolate it down, 53:47 we're already there. What else will it take? 53:53 We're preparing for it 53:54 because apostasy is so deep in the church. 53:56 The apostasy is so deep in the world right now. 53:59 And remember, apostasy is that 54:01 which prepared the way for the papacy. 54:05 Did you get it? 54:06 Apostasy popped the papacy, the Dark Ages. 54:12 We're sinking lower and lower all the time. 54:16 God's calling us out and up 54:21 to do what he's asked us to do. 54:24 He said in the last days, perilous times will what? 54:28 You see, when perilous times come, 54:30 we say, well, we don't want these perilous time. 54:31 I don't either. 54:34 Perilous times will come. 54:36 And then it gives you a list there in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. 54:39 What a list it gives you there. 54:42 Proud you know, he's talking about pride 54:43 and blasphemers and lovers of pleasures, 54:46 more than lovers of God. 54:47 If that's not taking place right now, 54:49 I'll put it in with you. 54:54 We're living the life of Rome all over again. 55:02 When the world is calling us to come together 55:05 on common points of doctrine, 55:10 for the common good of all, 55:13 regardless of our personal belief, 55:16 based upon Scripture. 55:19 May God help us as we close out. 55:24 False force is on the way. 55:29 They've talked. They say they begged. 55:31 They pleaded to do what we're asked to do. 55:34 And the next is force. 55:36 Some of them said, 55:38 if you remember this last, right, 55:39 the holiday Thanksgiving, what'd they say? 55:42 We can, if we want to, 55:43 we can go to your home, we'll get you. 55:45 And we will put you in jail for 30 days. 55:48 What has the country come to? 55:52 All it should warn us is 55:54 that these things that we have read 55:56 is going to come to pass. 56:01 We have to believe that. 56:02 We have to be prepared for that. 56:07 Hello, and welcome back. 56:09 Seeing through the fog of our rapidly changing world 56:12 was our message for today. 56:15 Isn't it wonderful that 56:16 Christ has promised to never leave us 56:18 nor forsake us. 56:20 When our vision ends, His begins. 56:23 He will carry each and every one of us through. 56:26 He's given us glimpses 56:27 of what is occurring in the fog of circumstances 56:31 to encourage each and every one of us 56:33 to prepare and be ready to take the time necessary, 56:37 to ensure to the best of our ability 56:39 that our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 56:42 Not that we can work our way, work out our salvation, 56:46 but by submitting and committing our wills 56:49 to our Lord and Savior. 56:51 He can work in and through us to do His good pleasure 56:55 for our salvation. 56:56 Christ is our only hope 57:00 as we see our world becoming a place 57:02 that we no longer recognize 57:04 as a safe place to even call home. 57:08 Seeing through the fog of our rapidly changing world 57:11 is a message that we would love to send to you 57:14 and for you to continue to learn from 57:16 and to share with your friends and your family. 57:19 We are offering this DVD message 57:21 for a love gift of just $8 or more. 57:24 We would also like to send you this free book 57:27 that is entitled The Great Controversy. 57:29 This is a wonderful book, 57:31 detailing religious history 57:33 throughout the ages 57:34 and giving glimpses of events 57:36 to occur in our very near future. 57:39 You don't wanna be without this book in your home. 57:42 To either obtain the message 57:44 of seeing through the fog of our rapidly changing world 57:48 or to attain this free gift. 57:50 This book entitled The Great Controversy. 57:53 Won't you just simply contact us 57:55 here in the United States at (618) 942-5044. 57:59 That Central Time, 58:01 or write to us at Behold the Lamb Ministries, 58:04 PO Box 2030, Herrin, Illinois 62948. 58:09 You may also email us at 58:11 Contact@ BeholdTheLambMinistries.com 58:14 or visit us on our website at BeholdTheLambMinistries.com. 58:19 Friends, I would also like to encourage 58:21 each and every one of you 58:22 to visit our Behold the Lamb Ministries 58:24 YouTube channel 58:25 for more important messages 58:27 that we are updating weekly 58:29 and to cordially invite you at this moment 58:32 to join our Facebook page. 58:34 Just look for Behold the Lamb Ministries 58:36 on Facebook. 58:38 And until next time 58:39 may our precious Lord and Savior 58:41 continue to richly bless you and yours. |
