00:01 I'm John Carter in Moscow.
00:02 Now in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
00:04 I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:06 Reporting from India.
00:08 In Colombia.
00:09 I'm John Carter.
00:11 Today, on the Carter Report,
00:13 John Carter talks about Great Balls of Fire
00:16 and the signs of the times.
00:21 Welcome back.
00:22 Today, we're talking about Great Balls of Fire,
00:25 a prophecy that talks about the end of the days,
00:28 the end of times, return of Jesus Christ.
00:32 Now in the first segment, I spoke about the persecution
00:36 that many Christians are going through.
00:38 We know that this is true.
00:40 Hundreds of millions of Christians are being
00:42 persecuted around the world.
00:44 I spoke about Islamic terrorism,
00:48 but I want you to know this,
00:49 I want to make this very, very plain.
00:52 There are heaps of Muslims who are the salt of the earth.
00:55 They're wonderful people.
00:57 But we're talking about the extremists,
00:59 the people like ISIS.
01:02 And many, many Christians have been put to death
01:04 by groups like ISIS and Jesus told us about it
01:09 and Jesus told us to expect it.
01:11 That was in the first part of the program.
01:13 Now we're going to come to sign number four.
01:16 We got six great signs today.
01:18 And sign number four is about, here it is, here it comes,
01:23 it is the Reign of Lawlessness.
01:28 The Bible says that in the last days, in America
01:32 and around the world,
01:33 people will hate the Lord of God
01:37 and also the Lord of man.
01:40 There will be a reign of anarchy
01:43 and a reign of lawlessness.
01:45 Now would you please notice in the Bible
01:47 because we're reading today from the Bible.
01:49 I want you to come to Matthew 24:12,
01:54 and these are the words of the greatest person
01:57 who's ever lived, ever walked this earth as Jesus Christ.
02:01 Matthew 24:12,
02:05 "And because lawlessness will abound,
02:08 the love of many will grow cold."
02:11 It says lawlessness is going to abound.
02:16 It's going to be everywhere, it's going to be powerful.
02:19 There will be the spirit of the hatred
02:22 of the Lord of God and the Lord of man.
02:26 There will come anarchy to America.
02:30 I'm gonna tell you some things
02:32 that are going to be pretty hard to tell you.
02:34 Maybe this is going to be new to most of you.
02:37 It's going to be new to most of the people
02:38 watching on Fox, 3ABN, and around the world.
02:42 People say, "What on earth is going on in the world?
02:44 I just don't understand what's going on."
02:47 After you hear this, you will understand,
02:51 you'll have an inside look, you'll be smart.
02:53 Listen to this.
02:56 I'm going to talk now about three great philosophers
03:00 and teachers, whose ideas have permeated
03:04 the great universities in America, Europe,
03:08 Australia, Russia,
03:12 the great universities that have indoctrinated
03:15 millions of y'all young people,
03:20 tens of millions, hundreds of millions
03:22 around the world.
03:23 These ideas have produced a state of lawlessness,
03:28 hopelessness, or anti-Christian,
03:32 and also anti-American.
03:36 Do you wonder what's going on?
03:37 You just listen, you'll find out.
03:41 This is very controversial.
03:42 That is the truth.
03:44 These philosophies are responsible
03:47 for the greatest voice
03:49 in the history of the human race
03:54 and the vast number of the suicides
03:57 in the United States of America.
04:00 Name them, you say.
04:02 Well, here it goes.
04:05 Get ready to take it.
04:06 Charles Darwin, brilliant Englishman,
04:11 a gentleman.
04:12 He once was a Christian gentleman.
04:15 He wanted to become a pastor,
04:18 he wanted to become a Church of England minister,
04:23 but what people won't tell you today is this,
04:26 he had a beautiful daughter, he had a beautiful family.
04:29 And his daughter got sick.
04:31 And he prayed to God and he said,
04:33 "Please, God, save my daughter.
04:36 Don't let her die."
04:37 And when she died he said, "And there can't be any God."
04:43 So Darwinism came out of the despair of a man
04:47 whose prayers were not answered.
04:50 I do not believe Darwinism is scientific.
04:57 Darwinism teaches us that man is the product of...
05:01 Think this through time, matter, plus chance.
05:06 That means that if you leave hydrogen gas alone by itself
05:11 long enough, it will become men and women singing and dancing.
05:15 No, you laugh, of course you do.
05:17 Time plus matter plus chance, we must differentiate.
05:22 Now listen to me, my friends, I tell you, don't mess this up.
05:26 We need to make a difference between
05:28 micro and macro evolution.
05:32 All educated people including this guy,
05:37 all educated people believe in microevolution,
05:41 not all believe in macroevolution
05:43 that teaches that man came from a simple cell
05:48 in the ocean.
05:50 Now over there, you've got microevolution,
05:54 it is the tremendous change within the species.
06:00 Viruses, mutate, and evolution to say,
06:03 this is the proof of Darwinism, neo-Darwinism.
06:06 This is the proof of evolution.
06:08 It is the proof of microevolution.
06:13 But macroevolution, and young people,
06:15 you need to know this and your parents do too.
06:18 Macroevolution is that man has come down
06:22 through all of these animals
06:25 and finally goes back to a single cell
06:29 in a hot primordial sea.
06:34 And that is Darwinism.
06:40 Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees,
06:42 so let me just put a bit of wood up.
06:46 This is what it teaches.
06:48 Nothing produced everything,
06:52 nonlife produced life,
06:55 randomness produced fine-tuning,
06:59 the fine tuning in the universe came from randomness.
07:03 Chaos produced information,
07:06 unconsciousness produced consciousness,
07:09 non-reason produced the reason.
07:14 I say to you not to offend you, but I say to the scientists
07:18 who are watching that it's simply
07:21 the new insanity,
07:26 you see?
07:27 As the great professor John, great mathematician
07:33 from Oxford said to Professor Dawkins
07:37 that he's wrong.
07:38 You start with chaos, non-reason.
07:41 The Bible says,
07:42 "In the beginning was the Word."
07:45 You see?
07:46 We go back to a great and a mighty mind.
07:51 Atheistic evolution is the new insanity
07:55 that is destroying the world.
07:58 The survival of the fittest, get rid of that which is weak,
08:03 let nature take its course.
08:08 And that's taught in every university.
08:10 Young people are brainwashed with this
08:13 nonscientific philosophy that came from a man
08:17 who couldn't deal with the death of his daughter.
08:21 Number two, perhaps the philosopher
08:23 who has influenced America
08:25 more than any other person in the universities
08:28 is Frederick Nietzsche.
08:31 Now Christians on the whole know nothing
08:33 about these things.
08:35 And that is why they have an approach towards evangelism
08:40 which is generally completely wrong.
08:43 You're answering the wrong questions.
08:45 Frederick Nietzsche, the German philosopher
08:48 who was Hitler's inspiration.
08:50 He is the most influential philosopher
08:53 in the great universities in America
08:56 and around the world.
08:58 He taught God is dead.
09:01 Don't misunderstand this.
09:03 I think he was meaning that God is an idea is dead,
09:08 and that is true as far as most people are concerned.
09:12 He taught might is right.
09:14 Christianity is the greatest misfortune of humanity.
09:21 Pity thwarts the law of natural selection.
09:25 So he said Christianity was the worst thing
09:29 the world had ever seen
09:30 because it keeps alive that which should die.
09:35 That's why Hitler embraced him
09:37 and slept with a copy of The Antichrist,
09:40 his book under his pillow.
09:44 He was a passionate hater of Jesus and Christianity
09:48 because Christianity defends the poor and the weak,
09:51 and we're proud of it.
09:54 His antichrist teachings have destroyed
09:56 the souls of millions.
09:59 This is why most Christians cannot talk to young people
10:04 that have come out of universities
10:08 on two different planets.
10:11 And the third great philosopher was Karl Marx.
10:15 The German Jew who gave up facing God invented communism
10:21 and became the rock
10:23 on which the Soviet Union was built.
10:26 Now I know a lot about it,
10:29 I've been there, I've seen things.
10:31 Most people today are oblivious to the facts of history
10:35 because I spend seven hours a day
10:37 watching garbage on television.
10:40 Garbage in, garbage out,
10:42 that's why you can't have an intelligent conversation
10:44 with most people.
10:47 And that's why they're so easily deceived.
10:52 In result of communism was hopelessness,
10:56 despair, poverty, the deaths of millions.
11:00 His teachings are anti-Christian
11:03 and anti-American.
11:05 These three philosophers Darwin, Nietzsche, Marx
11:09 got rid of God and the law.
11:11 Their ideas have permeated our educational system,
11:17 which is now one of the worst in the industrialized world.
11:24 And that's not true?
11:25 Yes, it is. Just go and Google.
11:28 Why are there so many suicides?
11:31 A million Americans try to suicide every year,
11:36 45,000 succeed.
11:37 Why?
11:39 Because the death of hope leads to the hope for death,
11:42 can't you see it?
11:44 Why is drug addiction out of control in America?
11:48 Why are politics not the answer?
11:53 Because as I say, in Australia,
11:54 they're barking up the wrong gum tree,
11:57 looking in the wrong place
11:59 because people are filled with hopelessness and despair.
12:03 And death of God
12:04 always leads to the death of man.
12:07 Now we have the culture wars and all this stuff
12:10 is poisoning the minds of the American people
12:15 who spend seven hours or something a day
12:19 watching the dunk.
12:21 And today, a wave of hatred, anarchy, and lawlessness
12:25 is sweeping America.
12:27 There is a solution, it's Christ,
12:30 Christ and the word.
12:32 And we had a man watching one our television programs,
12:36 his name was V.
12:38 He was an American communist, an atheist.
12:44 You heard me interviewing my friend Hugh Ross.
12:47 We were talking about rational reasons to believe.
12:52 He gave his life to Christ.
12:55 We baptized him.
12:58 Today, he is a strong Christian.
13:00 He says, "The best thing I'd ever discovered
13:03 was the truth of Christ in the Bible."
13:06 But we talk to him in language that he could understand.
13:12 Sign number five, God's truth to the world.
13:16 Matthew 24:10-14, please turn to it.
13:19 Matthew 24.
13:21 "And then many will be offended,
13:23 will betray one another, and will hate one another."
13:26 That's happening today.
13:27 "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many."
13:30 That's happening today.
13:31 "And because lawlessness will abound,
13:34 the love of many or most will grow cold.
13:37 But he who endures to the end shall be saved."
13:40 You got us, hang in there.
13:42 "And this gospel of the kingdom
13:46 will be preached in all the world
13:47 as a witness to all the nations,
13:51 and then the end will come."
13:53 And nothing can stop it.
13:55 And what is the gospel?
13:58 Well, it's not good advice.
13:59 It doesn't say do, do, do, do, do, cock-a-doodle-do.
14:04 The gospel is about God, it's good news.
14:08 The God made us.
14:11 I am a child of God.
14:14 God loves us.
14:16 You are important.
14:18 I've told millions of atheists
14:20 including the leaders of the KGB.
14:23 You are not an animal, you are not a machine,
14:26 you are a child of God, you see?
14:31 And God in Christ became a man
14:35 and died in our place for our sins.
14:39 The gospel is, my sins are forgiven
14:42 and I receive eternal life
14:44 when I repent of my sins, nasty word.
14:48 Some people say, "I hate that word repentance."
14:50 Of course, you do.
14:52 Because of pride and blindness and stupidity.
14:57 When I repent and accept Jesus Christ
15:00 as my Lord and my Savior, I am saved.
15:05 That's the good news.
15:07 The good news is Christ is coming again.
15:11 And this gospel fire cannot be extinguished.
15:15 It is spreading around the world.
15:20 This gospel fire is burning in China.
15:25 It is burning in Cuba.
15:31 It is burning in South America,
15:35 and in the United States
15:36 in spite of the unbelief
15:41 in the church.
15:45 In Africa, I've seen it in Africa.
15:48 I've seen it burning,
15:50 over there in Russia
15:52 just a few weeks running meetings,
15:56 and on television, Russia, Australia, Ukraine,
16:00 and the islands of the sea.
16:03 You can't put it out.
16:06 You can try to destroy it, you can try to get rid of God,
16:11 you can curse Him to his face,
16:14 try your hardest,
16:16 you cannot extinguish the mighty fire of God.
16:23 I have preached in the biggest auditorium
16:26 in Kiev where Khrushchev stood.
16:32 I stood at the same lectern where he said,
16:36 within a generation,
16:38 the name of Christ will be blotted
16:41 from the face of the earth
16:45 because we have Nietzsche and Marx
16:48 and all of these people,
16:49 he said, the name of Christ will be obliterated.
16:54 Well, I preached on that very spot
16:57 to a bigger crowd than he had.
16:59 I want you to know Khrushchev is gone.
17:04 Khrushchev is dead,
17:06 Khrushchev is kaput, but Christ lives forever.
17:10 Amen. You see?
17:13 So that's one of the greatest signs.
17:15 I've seen it.
17:17 I'm not an armchair theologian, I'm not a philosopher,
17:20 I'm not just a talker, I'm not just a do-gooder,
17:24 I have seen the glory of the Lord.
17:29 And the biggest tragedies is that
17:32 many of us are being brainwashed by the media...
17:41 and we're getting ready for the great deception.
17:44 Sign number six, the Great Tribulation
17:47 and we're gonna get to these balls of fire.
17:49 Matthew 24:15 and onwards.
17:55 "'Therefore
17:58 when you see the 'abomination of desolation,'
18:00 spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
18:03 standing in the holy place' whoever reads,
18:05 let him understand."
18:07 Have you ever read the Book of Daniel?
18:08 And tell, "Oh, you can't understand it."
18:11 That's because people have had their minds
18:13 destroyed by television.
18:18 "For then there will be great tribulation,
18:20 such as has not been
18:21 since the beginning of the world
18:23 until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
18:26 Unless those days were shortened,
18:29 no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake."
18:34 The elect's sake.
18:37 But I'm told the elector in heaven.
18:40 I'm told they've been rafted home to glory.
18:49 How far can you get from the Bible?
18:52 The elector rafted home to glory.
18:55 Hallelujah Jesus!
18:57 No.
18:58 The elector here on the earth
19:00 and, "for the elect's sake those days will be shortened,"
19:04 as we're living here.
19:06 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days
19:09 the sun will be darkened,
19:10 and the moon will not give its light,
19:12 the stars will fall from the heavens,
19:15 and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
19:18 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,
19:21 and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn,
19:25 and they will see this Son of Man
19:28 coming on the clouds of heaven
19:30 with power and great glory."
19:34 So this great sign is the great tribulation
19:40 that involves the whole world
19:44 and the elect.
19:48 Goodness me!
19:51 And part of the great tribulation,
19:53 dear hearts and gentle people,
19:56 will be balls of fire.
20:04 Would you notice Joel in the Bible?
20:07 Joel means, "Yahweh is God."
20:10 Joel 2:30 and 31,
20:16 "And I will show wonders in the heavens
20:20 and in the earth,
20:22 blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
20:28 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
20:31 and the moon into blood,
20:33 before the coming
20:34 of the great and awesome day of the Lord."
20:37 Here is tremendous evidence why you can believe in God.
20:44 God does not want us to have a blind faith.
20:48 People say, "Oh, I don't believe.
20:50 I just believe."
20:52 That's craziness.
20:54 I believe on the basis of evidence.
20:57 And thousands of years ago,
21:00 the prophets are in the heavens,
21:02 blood and fire and pillars.
21:08 A pillar, pillars of smoke.
21:14 The Bible predicted the very conditions
21:18 that we're seeing in the world today
21:21 because I want you to know this Christ is coming.
21:26 And are you ready, my friend?
21:28 Are you ready or are you brainwashed?
21:33 We're going to come to Revelation 11,
21:39 Revelation 11.
21:42 "Then the seventh angel sounded,
21:46 and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
21:49 'The kingdoms of this world
21:50 have become the kingdoms of our Lord
21:53 and of His Christ,
21:55 and He shall reign forever and ever!'"
22:00 look at these words.
22:01 "The nations were angry," like they are now.
22:05 "And your wrath has come,
22:07 and the time of the dead that they should be judged,
22:11 and that You should reward Your servants
22:14 the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name,
22:18 small and great,
22:19 and should destroy those who destroy the Earth.
22:24 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven,
22:27 and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple.
22:30 And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings,
22:34 an earthquake, and great hail."
22:40 Thousands of years ago,
22:42 the Bible predicted that
22:43 men would get the capacity to destroy the earth.
22:49 The word destroy has
22:51 a number of possible translations.
22:56 Pollute, those who pollute the earth,
23:00 those who corrupt the earth,
23:03 moral corruption and filth,
23:07 and destroy as to wipe out
23:11 because we have interfered with the balance of nature
23:15 by filling the atmosphere with carbon,
23:19 there will be more storms, more hurricanes,
23:22 more droughts, more heat, more starvation,
23:25 more disease, and more death.
23:28 We have reached this era.
23:32 And in the heavens, blood and fire,
23:37 those who destroy the Earth,
23:41 this is proof of God.
23:45 We have come to the last, last era.
23:50 And the message is plain and simple.
23:53 All the people who are watching,
23:55 the Lord is coming, are you ready?
24:00 There are three great events.
24:01 Number one, creation, God made you.
24:04 You're not an animal, not a machine.
24:07 Number two, redemption, Christ died for you.
24:10 God loved you.
24:12 He invited time and space, he died for you.
24:14 Number three, the second coming of Christ,
24:17 Christ will return for his children
24:21 who've been born again.
24:24 Now over in Russia, and 25 years ago,
24:29 I baptized a young woman, her name was Olga.
24:34 She was been down in Ukraine,
24:36 I marched to village out into the snow,
24:38 they dug a big hole in the ground,
24:40 and they machine gunned them all to death, did the Nazis.
24:46 And God hate us.
24:50 She was able to escape through the providence of God.
24:54 She got on a train, months later,
24:57 went up to Nizhny Novgorod where I'm going soon.
25:00 She got married. She married for a few months.
25:03 Knock on the door one night, and the men of this monster,
25:09 Stalin was there.
25:11 So she lived 50 years, no hope, no God,
25:17 full of despair, no heaven.
25:24 She came to our meetings.
25:28 She got a Bible and she got Christ.
25:31 Amen.
25:32 And this beautiful girl
25:38 who is now an old lady Olga,
25:42 She said to me,
25:45 spasiba, thank you.
25:49 All my life for 70 years...
25:55 I wondered what does it mean.
26:00 But now I know because I have found Christ.
26:09 My friend, when you find this Christ
26:14 and it can happen in a moment.
26:16 People talk about getting ready,
26:18 I don't believe that stuff.
26:21 It's not a case of getting ready,
26:23 you need to be ready and stay ready.
26:25 And you can be ready now
26:29 because of the blood of Jesus,
26:31 we don't work our way to heaven.
26:35 You don't have to be good to be saved,
26:38 but you do need to be saved to be good.
26:42 And when you take Christ into your heart by faith,
26:46 you are saved,
26:48 and you are right with God right now.
26:57 The antichrist is in the temple of God.
27:02 I'll read you the actual words
27:05 of the great Roman Catholic Church.
27:09 More than a billion people prayed to the dead.
27:15 The Bible talks very plainly
27:16 about good angels and bad angels.
27:23 Why on earth were you and I born?
