00:03 by the friends of the Amazing Facts ministry. 00:07 Coming to you from New York City at the historic Manhattan Center 00:11 with your host, Doug Batchelor. 00:13 Join this exciting journey of discovery as we learn the truth 00:17 about Bible prophecy. 00:19 Explore the timeless wisdom of God's Word and see how it 00:23 relates to our lives today. 00:25 Stay tuned, your "Amazing Facts" adventure begins now. 00:31 Doug Batchelor: The study today is based on Revelation 00:32 chapter 12. 00:34 If you have your Bibles, you may want to thumb your way there 00:36 right now or on your Bible device that you're holding, 00:41 beginning with a really amazing fact. 00:44 In 1954, a four year old girl was abducted from her home in 00:50 Colombia in the mountains, and with the idea of kidnapping her 00:55 and asking for ransom. 00:57 We don't know exactly what went wrong, but something went wrong 01:01 and they didn't want to kill the child, so they took her off down 01:04 a logging road in the jungle and they let her go, four years old. 01:09 And of course, she cried and mourned for a while. 01:13 And she didn't struggle so much with thirst because it did 01:17 rain frequently. 01:19 There was water there and the climate was somewhat mild, and 01:23 so she did not freeze, but she wandered around and looked for 01:28 food, and eventually a group of capuchin monkeys were intrigued 01:32 with her and they began to drop food. 01:36 She lived in the jungle for five years. 01:41 It's just an amazing story. 01:43 Often tormented by insects, eventually she wore her 01:46 clothes off. 01:47 She followed this troupe of monkeys that were watching her 01:51 from the tree that kind of adopted her. 01:53 She even got to the place where she could climb pretty well and 01:57 learned to forage for food and she stayed alive. 02:00 When she was finally found after these years of living in the 02:03 jungle, she lost all natural social inhibitions, she had no 02:07 clothes, she'd forgotten how to speak her language, she didn't 02:10 remember her name, and they did not ever find her real parents. 02:15 They gave her the name Marina. 02:17 She eventually was young enough where she could still learn, 02:21 relearn to speak both English and Spanish. 02:25 She moved to Britain, she was married, and all of this is 02:28 contained in a fascinating book called "The Girl with No Name." 02:34 God provided for her in the wilderness in a miraculous way. 02:37 Right now she's nearly 70 years old and she can still 02:41 climb trees. 02:44 You know, the Bible talks about a woman, which is a symbol for 02:48 the church, and we have a true woman and a counterfeit woman in 02:54 Revelation 12 and Revelation 17. 02:57 We're going to study a very important subject. 02:59 There are Christians all over the world, go to 03:01 different churches. 03:02 How do you know? 03:03 Does it matter what church? 03:05 Is there a true church? 03:06 Do you even need to go to church? 03:09 We're going to find out what people on the street think about 03:11 this subject and so let's take a look at some of their comments. 03:16 female: I guess you don't really know, right? 03:18 I guess just whatever feels best for each person, right? 03:23 female: I think it really depends. 03:25 I think a lot of religions have a lot of different things, but I 03:28 think revelation is one of the important things. 03:30 I think there's only so much that Old Testaments and all 03:33 things can predict. 03:34 You know, there's only so many coincidences, I feel like. 03:37 male: I guess typically it would be how you're raised originally, 03:41 and then as you get older, you do your own investigation. 03:45 female: One I grew up with. 03:47 male: I think you just got to go back to whatever your parents 03:50 are and stick with that, don't change it. 03:53 male: How do you know what churches are false? 03:56 Well, depends which culture you're into really, doesn't it? 04:00 male: People just need to pray a lot and you know, get some 04:03 discernment, read, do their own research, read their own 04:08 literature, and that's probably the best way. 04:12 female: We don't, every church has its flaw. 04:15 You believe what you believe in your soul, and that's how 04:17 you live. 04:18 female: Well, what, how can a church be false? 04:20 It it may not appeal to you or to another. 04:23 male: Like if there's no cross in the top or like no like 04:26 religious signs. 04:28 male: I don't believe so. 04:31 I wouldn't say it matters too much. 04:34 male: I believe it does only because the Bible preaches 04:37 baptism for admission of sins, and so I believe you must be 04:40 baptized, and there's a lot of churches that don't teach them. 04:44 male: No, it doesn't. 04:47 Just have the same, if it's the same Bible, it's fine. 04:50 male: Not really, at least you're attending church and 04:53 believe in something. 04:56 Doug: Does truth matter? 05:01 Most important question that was ever asked was when Pontius 05:05 Pilate said to Jesus, "What is truth?" 05:10 And then he walked away from Jesus and did not wait for 05:12 the answer. 05:14 He was standing there in front of the person who is the 05:16 embodiment of truth. 05:19 Said, "What is truth?" 05:21 And with cynicism, he walked away figuring, "Nobody can 05:24 really know the truth." 05:25 And you can tell from the answers that we've been hearing 05:28 some people say, "Well, you've got your truth and I've got my 05:31 truth, and there is really no absolute truth. 05:33 What you believe is good for you and what I believe is good 05:35 for me." 05:37 How many of you would like to go to a doctor that's doing brain 05:40 surgery on you and have him say, "Well, I think it's a brain, but 05:44 he thinks it's a cantaloupe, so, you know, whatever you believe 05:48 is okay." 05:49 Or when you're on the airplane and you're flying across the 05:52 ocean and the pilot comes on the air and says, "I realize that 05:54 some of you think there are absolute laws of aerodynamics, 05:57 but you know, I'd like to try an experiment. 06:03 I think this plane will work just fine as a submarine because 06:06 I believe it and I'm sincere." 06:10 Would you want to get on that airplane? 06:12 Or how many of you want to know that that pilot has learned 06:15 there are certain absolute rules of aerodynamics and aviation. 06:20 And if you violate those rules, there are terrible consequences 06:24 because it's unforgiving. 06:26 There is absolute truth regarding God and eternal life. 06:31 This notion that has become popular in society that, "Well, 06:34 you got your truth and I got my truth, and who can know what 06:37 truth is?" 06:39 It's not what the Bible teaches. 06:41 God says, "Thy Word is truth," that's what Jesus said. 06:45 There is truth. 06:47 Jesus said, "I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life." 06:51 Don't believe the devil's lie that it doesn't really matter, 06:54 and as long as you're sincere--how many of you have 06:57 been sincere and you found out you were wrong and it didn't 07:01 help that you were sincere. 07:04 I was driving cross country one time, going from California 07:07 to Texas. 07:09 Late at night, finally needed some gas, got off on the 07:13 cloverleaf and looped around. 07:15 This is before you had GPS. 07:18 I looped around a couple of times and I found the 07:20 gas station. 07:21 I filled up and I got back on the freeway and I was feeling 07:23 pretty good that I was going to make great progress. 07:26 But as I was going down Interstate 10, I kept seeing the 07:31 signs that said Interstate 10, I said, "I'm on the 07:33 right interstate." 07:36 But then I started saying, "Well, they must have a chain of 07:38 those restaurants everywhere, because I just saw one a few 07:42 miles back. 07:44 Then I realized I was looking at the same restaurant and it said 07:47 Interstate 10 West. 07:49 Well, I'm going to Texas, I needed to be going east." 07:54 I had been perfectly happy and sincere, but I was never going 07:58 to get to Texas going the wrong direction. 08:01 It didn't matter how sincere I was. 08:04 And there's a lot of people in the world today, they think, 08:06 "Well, it doesn't really matter as long as you're sincere." 08:09 Oh, it does matter, friends, what you believe. 08:12 The truth will set you free. 08:16 There is a truth and knowing the truth and every element of Bible 08:19 truth makes you free-er. 08:23 So number one, first question, how does Revelation picture 08:27 God's true church? 08:29 Turn to your Bibles, we're going to read it first. 08:31 Turn to Revelation chapter 12, please. 08:33 We'll read a few verses here, "And now a great sign appeared," 08:37 verse 1, "a great sign appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with 08:41 the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a 08:46 garland," that means a crown, a Stephanos, "with twelve stars: 08:51 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and pain to give 08:55 birth," this woman is great with child. 08:58 "And another sign appeared in heaven; and behold a great fiery 09:02 red dragon, having seven heads," how many heads? 09:07 "Seven heads and ten horns." 09:09 How many horns? 09:10 "And seven crowns on his heads. 09:13 And his tail drew a third of the stars of heaven, and he threw 09:17 them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman 09:20 who was ready to give birth, to devour her child as soon as it 09:24 was born. 09:25 And she bore a male child, who was to rule all nations with a 09:28 rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and 09:32 His throne. 09:34 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a 09:36 place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one 09:40 thousand two hundred and sixty days," fed in the wilderness. 09:44 Now we're going to talk about that and we're going to go back 09:46 to the Bible in just a moment. 09:48 So the answer, Revelation chapter 12, what does it say 09:51 about this woman? 09:52 It says, a what? 09:54 "A WOMAN clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and 09:59 on her head a garland of twelve stars. 10:01 Being with CHILD, she cried out in labor." 10:04 She's going through labor pains, "and in pain to give birth, and 10:09 she bears a male Child who is to rule all nations with a ROD 10:13 of iron." 10:14 Who do you think that is? 10:17 That male child is Jesus, the Christ. 10:20 He is caught up to God's throne, we know Jesus ascended to 10:23 heaven, who is the woman? 10:25 What does a woman represent? 10:28 In the Bible when it talks about this woman, she may appear here 10:31 before it's over with. 10:33 A woman represents God's bride, and this woman who's great with 10:38 child is a symbol of a church. 10:40 What is she wearing? 10:41 She's clothed with the what? 10:43 The sun, that's the light of God's truth that you find in the 10:47 New Testament. 10:50 Standing on the moon, does the moon give light at night? 10:55 Does the moon have light of its own or does the moon reflect the 10:58 light of the sun that will rise? 11:01 It is the Old Testament reflecting the light of the Son 11:03 of righteousness who would arise with healing in His wings. 11:07 The New Testament church stands on the foundation of the 11:10 promises of God in the Old Testament. 11:13 And above her head, above the head is a symbol of leadership. 11:16 You've got the 12 stars, and that represents the 12 tribes in 11:20 the Old Testament. 11:22 You've got the 12 apostles in the New Testament. 11:24 You even have the 12 princes of Moses leading Israel, the 12 11:28 judges of Israel and the book of Judges, 12, a symbol 11:31 of leadership. 11:33 This is God's church. 11:34 He is clothed with sun, moon, stars. 11:38 Who made the sun? 11:39 Who made the moon? 11:40 Look at Genesis, who made the stars? 11:42 This is God's light. 11:44 The Bible says to the bride, "You are the light of the world. 11:49 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good 11:52 works and glorify your Father which is in heaven." 11:54 So this woman represents the true church, okay? 11:58 It says, and how do we know that? 12:00 You read in Jeremiah 6:2, God's church is symbolized by woman, 12:04 "I have likened the daughter of Zion to a lovely and a 12:08 delicate woman." 12:10 The sun representing the light of Jesus, Psalm 84, Malachi 4:2, 12:14 giving you these verses. 12:16 The moon represents the promises and the history of the Old 12:19 Testament, which the church was built on. 12:21 This will all be in your lesson. 12:23 The stars above her head symbolize the leadership of the 12:26 church and you read about the stars, it says there in 12:31 Revelation chapter 1, which were the ministers of the church, it 12:34 was leadership. 12:36 The One who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron, this 12:39 Man child, is Jesus, amen? 12:43 And the dragon wants to devour the Man child as soon as 12:47 it's born. 12:48 Now you see this woman, but she's juxtaposed against a 12:52 different woman than you find in Revelation 17. 12:55 Okay, back to our Bibles. 12:57 Go in your Bible to Revelation chapter 17. 13:00 We're going to start with verse 3, and you'll find that these 13:03 two women are, they're actually opposites. 13:06 And this woman exists in the world today too. 13:11 Revelation 17, start with verse 3, "So he," the angel, "carried 13:15 me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. 13:17 And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet colored beast that was 13:22 full of names of blasphemy," having how many heads? 13:26 Seven heads, and how many horns? 13:29 Now, when was the last time you saw a beast with seven heads and 13:32 ten horns? 13:33 They're not that common, are they? 13:35 How many would agree this is the same beast? 13:38 By the way, it appears in Revelation 13 too. 13:42 This beast who is trying to destroy the woman in Revelation 13:46 12 is in cooperation with the woman in Revelation 17. 13:50 What is a woman? 13:52 Church, so you got one woman clothed with God's light, but 13:56 this woman, it says she's arrayed, this is verse 4, 14:00 "purple, scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stones, pearls," 14:04 all things you would find on earth that can be manmade, 14:09 "having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the 14:12 filthiness of her fornication." 14:14 And if you have any doubt about this woman, she's got on her 14:18 forehead, people have things in their forehead in revelation. 14:21 She's got this stamp: "Mystery Babylon the great, the mother 14:26 of harlots." 14:28 She's got daughters that have come out of her, "And of 14:30 abominations of the earth. 14:32 And the woman is drunken with the blood of the saints," so 14:34 this is the wrong woman. 14:36 You got these two women. 14:38 So, a woman represents what? 14:43 Can we use the Bible and Bible prophecy to try and find out if 14:46 God has a people in the world today? 14:49 Is the Bible pretty clear there is the true woman of light, and 14:54 there is a counterfeit? 14:56 One is riding with the beast, the other is being persecuted by 15:00 the beast. 15:01 Doesn't matter what church you're in. 15:05 You don't want to be with that woman in Babylon because you 15:08 read Revelation chapter 18:19. 15:10 It says Babylon is going to be destroyed. 15:14 That harkens back to the tower of Babel, man-made worship that 15:17 was confused and cursed by God. 15:19 There in Genesis chapter 11, these are the keys to 15:23 understanding these things. 15:25 Says a woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet adorned with 15:28 gold and precious stones and pearls. 15:31 So you've got this woman riding a beast in Revelation 17. 15:36 This beast is a great persecuting power that we find, 15:39 if we go from chapter 12 to chapter 13, you're going to see 15:42 that beast appears again. 15:44 All right, number two, who is the great red dragon, and what 15:49 does he try to do? 15:51 Now we're going back to chapter 12, "That great dragon was cast 15:55 out, called the serpent of old," called what? 15:59 "The DEVIL and SATAN." 16:02 So it's saying that the devil is manipulating this power, 16:07 this beast. 16:08 Now you, when you read in Isaiah 14, it describes the devil, but 16:15 it uses the king of Tyre. 16:17 If you look in Ezekiel 28, it talks about the devil, but he's 16:22 working through the king of Babylon. 16:25 When you read Revelation 12, it talks about the devil, but he's 16:28 operating through the kingdom of pagan Rome. 16:33 Says the dragon tries to devour the Man child as soon as He is 16:36 born, "The dragon stood before the woman who's ready to give 16:41 birth, to DEVOUR her child as soon as it is born." 16:47 So this dragon is an enemy of Christ, wants to destroy Christ. 16:53 You know, there's several times in Bible history when the devil 16:57 has tried to stop the savior from coming. 17:01 Now the devil knew that the Messiah would come. 17:03 He knew the incarnation would happen. 17:05 He didn't know exactly when. 17:07 When the children of Israel were in Egypt, he thought, "Now would 17:10 be the time when God would send the savior. 17:13 So what did he do? 17:15 The dragon tried to destroy all the male baby boys. 17:21 Do you remember the Pharaoh was telling them to throw all the 17:24 baby boys to the crocodiles in the Nile River, but Moses is 17:28 spared, one is spared. 17:30 He becomes a savior. 17:32 Do you know, back during the time of Athaliah, if you know 17:35 your Bible, if you get to 2 Kings, it tells about a 17:38 wicked queen. 17:39 She's the daughter of Jezebel, another wicked queen. 17:43 By the way, in the time of Jezebel and Athaliah, there is a 17:46 three and half year period, 1,260 days, just 17:50 like Revelation. 17:53 And her son Ahaziah is killed in battle by Jehu. 17:57 She does not want one of the sons of David to rule. 18:00 Athaliah is a pagan. 18:02 Her mother, Jezebel is a pagan. 18:04 She wants to be queen. 18:05 Well, among the Jews they had kings, they didn't have queens. 18:09 The men ruled. 18:11 So, but she wants to be queen, so she kills all of the babies 18:16 of David, the descendants of David. 18:19 She kills all of her grandchildren. 18:20 Boy, talk about cold-blooded. 18:23 But one escapes. 18:25 His name is Joash, and he ends up being in the temple of God. 18:30 He comes out of the temple of God when he's seven years old. 18:32 They blow the trumpets, they coronate him king, she is 18:36 destroyed, something like when Jesus, our Savior, the Son of 18:41 David, Christ. 18:42 He's going to come from the heavenly temple, the trumpets 18:44 will blow, the people will rejoice, and 18:46 Babylon's destroyed. 18:47 What you see happening in the Bible is going to be repeated in 18:50 the future. 18:51 This is what Revelation is talking about. 18:54 So the devil under Herod using the Roman power. 18:59 How many remember when Herod sent his soldiers to Bethlehem? 19:02 they said well there's a baby, he's the new king of the Jews. 19:04 You know what Herod's official title was? 19:06 The Romans gave him the title "king of the Jews." 19:10 So when the wise men come into Jerusalem, they said, "Where is 19:13 He that is born King of the Jews." 19:14 And Herod said, "What did you say?" 19:18 He said, "Oh, yeah, yeah. 19:20 I'd like to know about when you find Him. 19:22 Tell me when you find Him, I would like to worship Him too." 19:26 He wanted to kill Him. 19:28 The devil was working, the dragon through pagan Rome. 19:36 And then later you find the devil starts working through the 19:39 church papal Rome during the dark ages. 19:41 Number three, what happens after Satan fails to destroy Jesus? 19:46 You know, did the devil try to destroy Jesus on the cross? 19:49 Did he try to keep Him in the tomb? 19:52 Could the devil keep Him in the tomb? 19:54 Did Christ ascend to heaven? 19:56 Now the devil cannot hurt Jesus anymore, can he? 20:00 He's out of his reach. 20:02 So what does the devil do now? 20:04 Says, "her Child is CAUGHT UP to God and His throne." 20:08 As the disciples watch in Acts chapter 2 , Jesus ascended, and 20:12 he's caught up in a cloud of angels. 20:14 And the Bible said that as He left, He will come, amen? 20:17 He's coming in the clouds with all of the angels of heaven. 20:21 But in the meantime, the devil now vents his fury, the devil 20:25 wants to hurt Jesus by hurting what Jesus loves. 20:31 If you want to hurt somebody, you don't just torture them, but 20:34 torture their child in front of them. 20:39 I remember once when one of our boys was 18 months old, he had 20:45 spinal meningitis. 20:47 They didn't know, so they had to do a test it's called the 20:51 spinal tap. 20:53 But because we had come to the doctor off hours, they had an 20:56 intern there that was in training, they call it 21:00 practicing medicine. 21:03 And we watched as the hospital staff held down our beautiful 18 21:07 month baby boy, and he tried to push the needle into his spine 21:12 and find the right spot to drain out spinal fluid, and our little 21:16 boy, they can't numb them at the time, and our little boy is 21:20 looking up with his eyes wild with tears, he's going, "Daddy, 21:24 daddy, daddy, why are you letting them hurt me?" 21:27 And it broke my heart. 21:28 I would have traded places with him just like that. 21:32 The devil knows that Jesus loves us. 21:34 He wants to hurt Jesus by hurting His people. 21:38 That's why he persecutes the church. 21:41 After Jesus is caught up to heaven, what does Satan do to 21:44 the church? 21:46 "When the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he 21:50 PERSECUTED the woman who gave birth to the child." 21:56 After Christ ascended to heaven, some of the most severe 21:58 persecution came upon the church. 22:01 How many have heard the stories of what Nero and Diocletian and 22:06 the different Roman emperors did to the Christians in 22:08 the Colosseums? 22:10 It's not just the fables, they were fed to wild beasts. 22:14 Nero smeared pitch on the Christians and lit them on fire 22:18 alive to light his gardens as they writhed in pain. 22:23 It was terrible. 22:25 Why do you think the catacombs are under Rome? 22:27 Because they had to go underground, so to speak. 22:30 It was called "religio illicita." 22:32 Even in the Bible, you can see where Paul and the Jews had been 22:36 expelled from Rome by the emperor. 22:40 See, the Roman Empire had tolerated many religions as long 22:43 as you still held up the Roman religion is supreme, but when 22:47 the Christians said "No, we're not going to offer incense to 22:49 your pagan gods, they outlawed the religion, and it became 22:53 "religio illicita." 22:55 That's why Paul says it may be better if you don't get married 22:58 and have a family right now because of the persecution is 23:01 so intense. 23:03 So the devil tried to destroy the church with Plan A. 23:08 Plan A was annihilation, extermination, genocide. 23:12 Feed them to the lions, kill them off in the mines, work them 23:15 to death, crucify them. 23:18 When Nero burned Rome, he blamed it on the Christians. 23:21 Nero burned Rome because he didn't like the 23:24 wooden tenements. 23:25 He wanted marble structures and he thought, "I got to get rid of 23:27 all these poor people." 23:29 He set the city on fire, watched it burn, played his fiddle, 23:32 you've heard the story. 23:34 And when they were outraged, he said, "The Christians did it." 23:37 He said, "By the way, you know, the Christians are living 23:38 underground, and they're cannibals. 23:42 They believe in eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus, 23:46 they're cannibals," and they had terrible propaganda against 23:49 Christians, and the Christians experienced a 23:51 terrible persecution. 23:52 Not only that, during this time, the Jews rebelled against the 23:56 Romans, and people saw Christianity and Judaism. 23:59 They kept the same Sabbath, they worship the same God, they read 24:02 the same Bible, they saw them as sort of the same thing. 24:05 And so the Jews became very hated after 70 AD. 24:10 And so Judaism and Christianity were both outlawed, and 24:15 Christians and Jews were being exterminated in mass, destroyed, 24:22 enslaved, property taken away, scattered around the empire. 24:27 But you know what happened? 24:29 The seed of Christianity is the blood of the martyrs. 24:35 The more they mowed them down, the more they grew. 24:39 Because the pagans would come to the Colosseum and they'd watch 24:41 these Christians before they're being fed to wild animals, 24:45 calmly pray. 24:47 They had expressions of peace and joy. 24:50 They looked like they were on their way to a wedding, because 24:52 they knew their next conscious thought was the resurrection and 24:56 seeing the Lord. 24:57 And they said, "Why are they so peaceful? 24:59 Why are they so brave?" 25:02 And they started asking questions and Christianity 25:05 kept spreading. 25:07 And the devil said, "This is not working." 25:09 So he went to Plan B, whereas if you can't destroy them from the 25:14 outside, destroy them from the inside. 25:16 He legalized Christianity and he co-mingled paganism 25:21 and Christianity. 25:23 Constantine ostensibly he legalized Christianity, and he 25:27 said, "Yeah, well, my mother is converted to Christianity, so I 25:30 can't kill them off. 25:31 They're really not hurting anybody." 25:32 And all of a sudden it became very vogue to be a Christian. 25:35 Doug: You know, Jesus came into our world for three reasons. 25:39 First of all, He came as our example, to live a life that we 25:42 might follow His steps. 25:44 He came to show us the Father. 25:46 He said, "If you've seen me, you've seen the Father." 25:49 And then He came as our sacrifice. 25:51 He died on the cross as a substitute for all our sins, but 25:55 we must come to Him. 25:56 We repent of our sins, we confess, He'll receive us with 25:59 loving arms. 26:01 Why don't you ask Him now?
