00:41 Hi, I am Chris Shelton.
00:43 And this is "Behold the Lamb Presents." 00:45 I want to thank you for tuning in today 00:47 and welcome you to our program. 00:49 Today's message is the last part 00:52 of a five part series that we have entitled 00:55 "The Mystery of Inequity, the Antichrist Revealed." 00:59 This last message in this series 01:02 we're calling "Deception Instead of Persecution?" 01:05 You know, during the course of these studies 01:07 we have learned that there is a World Council of Churches 01:10 which together includes about 350 evangelical groups, 01:15 Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican churches 01:18 along with our main stream Protestants 01:21 which have joined together to create what they call 01:24 a common code of conduct representing 01:27 more than 560 million professed Christians. 01:31 This code of conduct originated with the Vatican 01:34 and now has support of 233 Conservative 01:38 and Protestant Church groups 01:41 in various ministries in about 121 nations. 01:45 Unknowingly, unknowingly these groups have followed 01:50 the plan of the enemy displace us 01:52 all on common ground in an effort to squelch 01:56 the giving of the Three Angels Messages. 01:58 However, the Three Angels' Messages 02:01 we have found they're vital for us to know. 02:04 They're vital for our understanding, 02:06 so that we will not be one of those described 02:09 in Revelation 17 "Who is drunk or deceived 02:13 by the wine of the wrath of her fornication of false doctrine." 02:17 So just as throughout all history 02:20 as the truth of God's word 02:21 is preached in its undiluted form oppressiveness 02:25 and persecution will follow. 02:27 Persecution will be released and has already been released 02:31 in some areas of the world. 02:33 Upon the followers of Christ who stand and proclaimed truths 02:38 that have otherwise been hidden 02:40 in most denominational churches, 02:43 our religious liberty, our freedom of press 02:46 and our freedom even to worship 02:48 according to the dictates of our own hearts 02:51 will some day come under the fire of persecution. 02:55 Yes, the Bible predicts, 02:58 a time of trouble just before Christ returns. 03:01 That will indeed be worse 03:03 than any of this world has ever witnessed before. 03:06 And those who stand for truth 03:08 instead of following for they agreed upon doctrines 03:11 as presented in the World Council of Churches, 03:14 code of conduct will be looked 03:16 upon as the cause of this time of trouble 03:19 and the downfall of nations. 03:22 They've taken a stand with Christ not to be deceived 03:25 therefore persecution will be their cup, 03:30 or would some rather choose deception. 03:34 Stay tuned today as Pastor Kenny, 03:37 looks into this question and the title of our message 03:40 "Deception Instead of Persecution?" 03:43 But first let's visit the 3ABN Worship Centre 03:46 and be blessed as we listen to the Lord's Prayer 03:50 as played by Ron Woolsey. 03:54 [Music] 07:09 Thanks for joining us once again. 07:11 We praise God for this privilege and opportunity 07:14 and I know you're blessed by that music. 07:15 So, I pray that you're set up spiritually now 07:18 that the Holy Spirit can start working. 07:20 We're gonna be praying for the opening of the ears 07:22 and the eyes and the knowledge 07:23 that only God can give. 07:25 Our message for today as my wife has been telling. 07:27 We're talking about deception or persecution? 07:30 And so as we look at the issues 07:32 that's coming down to these last day events, 07:34 what's happening in the world. 07:36 There's a message that needs to be given to the world. 07:40 God has asked us to be faithful in giving that in. 07:42 May I just warn you right upfront, 07:44 you know, a lot of programs 07:45 they warn you what's getting ready. 07:46 This series is not for the weak or the faint spiritually. 07:50 This is going to be a heavy duty message 07:52 and if you miss the previous four, 07:54 you might be a little bit shocked. 07:56 But this is what God has asked us to do 07:58 and we pray that we will be faithful in doing 08:00 exactly what He has asked us. 08:02 But before we're going to ask God to help us. 08:04 We're gonna go to Him in prayer right now. 08:07 I'm gonna kneel down here and I ask where you can, 08:10 would you kneel with me 08:11 and pray for the Holy Spirit of the living God 08:13 to touch our hearts and our minds, let's pray. 08:17 Merciful God in heaven, 08:18 we thank you for the privilege of prayer. 08:20 We ask now for the power of thy Holy Spirit, 08:22 enlighten our hearts and our minds 08:24 and I pray that could be a vessel 08:25 that you could use today. 08:26 We thank you, give You praise, 08:28 open the ears of your children. 08:30 We pray as I hear the message 08:31 there will be willing to respond what is truth. 08:35 Thank you for hearing. 08:36 Thank you for answering prayer 08:37 for what You're going to do in Jesus name, amen. 08:42 Again this may be a program where you really-- 08:45 you gonna have to work quickly. 08:47 What I usually do is go back the previous study 08:49 that we had and go over lot of points 08:51 that we went over in case you missed it. 08:53 I'm not going to do that today, 08:54 because we just don't have time, 08:55 since this is our last part and I probably need 08:58 four, five, more hours on it, so try to condense it down. 09:01 So I'm gonna move as quickly as I can by the grace of God. 09:04 Still we pray the Holy Spirit will help it to make sense 09:06 in your heart and in your mind. 09:09 You know, Jesus in Matthew 24, 09:10 He talks about being deceived. 09:14 Be not deceived and in Matthew 24, He mentions 09:17 that at least four times. Be not deceived. 09:21 Jesus knew that the devil is a great deceiver 09:23 and he is going to deceive, 09:24 if possible what? The very elect. 09:27 So we have deception and we have what? 09:29 Tribulation. Some people don't what tribulation. 09:31 They're willing to be deceived. 09:33 I'm not willing and I hope you're not willing today either 09:36 as we study. What about persecution? 09:38 You know, what the Bible says, in second Timothy 3:12? 09:41 It says, "All that lived godly 09:43 in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 09:47 And to go along with that Matthew 13:21, 09:50 it's interesting here it said-- 09:52 talk about when you preach the word of God. 09:55 It says, here, "For when tribulation or persecution 09:59 arises because of the word," 10:02 notice that tribulation, persecution, 10:04 it arises because of what? Because of the word of God 10:08 and we're talking about the real true word of God today. 10:10 He is giving some message, we need to give to the world. 10:13 In First Timothy 4:16, jot them down 10:16 look them up and read it when you can. 10:17 I'm gonna read this, notice, it says, 10:18 "Take heed" that means listen, doesn't it? 10:20 "Take heed unto thyself, and unto" what? 10:24 "The doctrine" what's that? 10:25 Doctrine is teaching and it says, "continue in them, 10:29 for in doing this thou shalt both help to save thyself, 10:33 help save thyself and them that hear thee." 10:36 So we need to continue into what? 10:38 The doctrine and the teaching of the word of God, 10:41 and it will do what? 10:42 It helped to save us as the end result. 10:44 And it will save those who hear. 10:46 So I'm praying that you will hear today. 10:49 See we have to take key scripture 10:51 we've been studying in these lessons here. 10:53 Divine inspiration, we cannot be deceived. 10:56 Well, we have to realize that this is life 10:59 and as we read the word of God, 11:00 we have to be willing to say, 11:01 okay God help me to walk in this light, 11:05 in this truth because it's so imperative, 11:07 not just say I heard it and I understand it. 11:09 We have to be willing to walk in it. 11:12 You see the word of God simply, what? 11:14 It unmask the plans of the enemy, 11:16 an organizations in whom he is working through. 11:19 He is working through the churches. 11:20 We talked about before, why? 11:22 Because the enemy has joined the church. 11:24 And so if it's not preaching the truth, 11:25 then it's preaching what? A lie 11:27 and the devil is the author of lies. 11:30 I will say this, you know, we're talking 11:32 about representatives here on earth. 11:33 We say, well, it's a pastor, it's the priest, 11:36 it's the pope, it's-- just only representative 11:38 here on this earth, is what? 11:39 Is the Holy Spirit of the living God, 11:42 so you and I need to be listening to the Holy Spirit. 11:45 We need to be realize that rest of men that were sinful, 11:49 were need of a Savior, again whether it's 11:51 preach or Pope, he needs a savior. 11:53 We need to be coming to Jesus Christ, 11:54 He's the only one. 11:56 Now how about the Jews? The Jews were blinded. 11:59 Now why were they really blinded? 12:01 You know, they had the scripture, 12:02 they could, you know, talk about coming of Jesus and so on, 12:05 but they were blinded, why? 12:07 They rejected the coming of Jesus Christ. 12:10 Now this is an illustration, 12:11 so that it will help you and us to understand. 12:14 Jesus told them in Matthew Chapter 22 verse 29. 12:18 He says, "You do err, not knowing what? Good. 12:22 "The scripture, nor the power of God." 12:26 So He is saying there we have a problem. 12:28 You do err, why do you err? Why we're in err? 12:31 Why don't we understand what truth is? 12:32 Because we don't know the scripture 12:34 and we're not getting into it the way that we should. 12:37 If you're not spending time in the word of God 12:39 everyday praying for the power of the Holy Spirit, 12:42 understand the hours that we're living in of earth's history. 12:46 You're not-- you're going to be fooled, 12:47 you're going to be deceived. 12:49 And most people are going to be deceived in the world. 12:51 It's not the worldlings so called Christians. 12:54 Those sitting in the pew, those thinking 12:56 well, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. 12:59 Friend, are you really seeking to know what truth is? 13:01 When the devil is talking about deception or persecution, 13:04 he means exactly what he is saying. 13:06 And you and I really get our minds together, 13:08 may God may help us. 13:09 Now remember, the Jews lost sight of Christ, 13:12 because they didn't really know the scripture. 13:15 In fact history testifies that, you know, during the Dark Ages, 13:18 we're talking about even Rome here. 13:19 They even forbade the people from even having a Bible. 13:23 It's interesting here, Pope Gregory, 13:25 in the ninth cannon number 14. 13:27 You know, what he says, what they call the Bible 13:29 and some of you don't have the audacity 13:30 to call the Bible that today. 13:32 But they call the Bible, the papacy called the Bible, 13:34 a pest, did you get it? They call it a pest 13:38 and they wanted to wipe it out. 13:42 We wouldn't be maybe so bold to do that today, 13:44 but dear friends, if we're not studying 13:45 and we're not praying and we're not, 13:47 you know, following what God's word is, 13:49 maybe we think it's a little bit, 13:50 you know, little pesty and we put it on a shelf 13:53 and we don't study like we should. 13:55 So it's time for us to be bold in the word of God. 13:58 Bible said the Jews did what? 14:00 They erred in scripture, why? Because of their tradition. 14:04 Well, where did the Jews get their tradition? 14:06 They got it straight from Paganism 14:08 like many in the world today. 14:11 And we realize what? 14:12 The very foundation of the papacy, is what? 14:15 From Paganism so we got to be truthful today, why? 14:18 Because the world is wondering after the beast, 14:21 their names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 14:23 So to be fair and to warn you of the things 14:26 that we're going to be talking about today, 14:29 we pray the Holy Spirit of God is gonna open your eyes 14:31 and your ears and you gonna say, 14:32 oh, Lord, thank you for that knowledge. 14:34 Thank you for the wisdom that God is giving us 14:36 through the Holy Spirit, because what? 14:39 Because we realize that the majority of the people, 14:42 we have this Paganism coming into the church 14:44 and we're counting, oh, it must be Christian, 14:47 because we got it in the church right now. 14:49 You know, we talked about Paganism. 14:50 Pagan is pagan and we need to understand that. 14:53 Let me give you a quote that might help us to understand, 14:56 this is taken from the Catholic encyclopedia in 1976. 15:01 It says this, "In a special sense, 15:04 there is but one source of reveled truth" 15:07 keep that in mind, "this source is divine tradition." 15:12 You realize what boldness that is. 15:15 We believe that it's a word of God here, don't we? 15:17 But they're saying here 15:18 there's only one source here of revealed truth, 15:22 is divine tradition and then Rome Church says, 15:26 we are, we hold that tradition 15:29 which gives life to the scripture. 15:31 Tradition cannot give life to the scripture, 15:33 it kills the scripture. 15:34 So we're finding then a religion or organization, 15:37 then it's based upon what? Paganism and tradition. 15:40 You say, oh, this is a distasteful message, 15:42 yes, it is. But, you know, what God has revealed it 15:45 in His word over and over and over. 15:47 And I pray that you're catching that as we move on. 15:50 You know, the Church of Rome admits 15:52 that she doesn't believe, what? Believe in scripture. 15:55 She believes in human devising. 15:57 She believes in tradition 15:59 in placeof scripture as her guide. 16:02 Here's what Jesus said, about that in Matthew 15. 16:05 In fact, if you read verses 8 and 9 16:07 when you have the opportunity because in verse 8, 16:09 He talks about a people that draw nigh to Him. 16:11 You remember with their, what? 16:13 Yeah, with their mouth and with their lips or eyes 16:15 but He said what? Oh, they're far from Me. 16:17 And then in verse 9, Jesus said "In vein do they worship me, 16:20 teaching for doctrines" what? "The commandments of men." 16:24 So here we see, we have a religion 16:26 so called religious group an organization. 16:28 Remember it is not people we are talking about. 16:30 It's not the priest, it's not the pope, 16:32 it's not that, it's a organization 16:35 that we're talking about that the enemy has decided to use. 16:39 He is using, what? 16:41 To deceive the world and reason I say that's why? 16:43 Because teaching in doctrines 16:45 are not based upon the word of God. 16:47 How can it be Christ like? 16:49 How can it be something that we're to accept 16:53 as the truth as they present these? 16:54 But, you know, the Protestant world is accepting 16:56 a lot of things straight from Rome. 16:59 Rome got all the teaching basically from Paganism. 17:01 I hope we have time by the grace of God 17:03 to go over some of these things 17:04 that you'll be able to see clearly. 17:06 In Matthew 15 verse 6 the Bible says, 17:09 "Thus you have made the commandments of God" 17:11 notice this "of none effect by your tradition." 17:15 So tradition makes none effect, write the commandments of God. 17:18 So we have the battle against, what? 17:20 Commandments of God and traditions of men. 17:23 Oh, friend, which is something we need to look at. 17:25 Paul had a bold statement here in Colossians 2:8. 17:28 He said, "Beware lest any man" 17:31 notice this "deceive you through vain, what?" 17:33 Through philosophy and vain deceit." 17:36 Oh, "after the traditions of men after the rudiments" 17:40 that means the elements of the world 17:43 and not after Christ." 17:44 You see the warnings, it's always don't be deceived. 17:47 Don't go after the world, things that are in the world. 17:51 And then you have this organization 17:53 with all of his teachings and everything that's-- 17:55 it's going on in the moment. 17:57 It's taking directly from the world or from Paganism. 18:01 Coming to the church, baptized it 18:02 and many Protestant Churches are grasping 18:04 these things and saying, oh, these are truths. 18:07 If they're not found in scripture, 18:08 how it can be truth. 18:10 Paul warned about this 18:11 "Mystery of Inequity," you remember that? 18:13 When we read in Second Thessalonians 2:4. 18:16 Paul said it like this, he said this man of sin who opposes 18:19 and exalts himself, oh, above all that is called God," 18:23 listen "or that is worshipped, that he as God sitteth 18:27 in the temple of God shewing himself that he is God." 18:32 So we have then the man of sin we're talking about here, 18:34 Mystery of Inequity, the antichrist, 18:36 is one who's what? 18:37 Sits in the place or claims to be God on earth. 18:41 Man, that's heavy duty. 18:43 And so these are identifying marked 18:46 that we must pay attention to. 18:48 You know, and here are so many identifying marks 18:50 that we went over to understand that, 18:52 you know, out of Babylon, Medo-Persia, 18:54 Greece and Rome, and Pagan Rome 18:55 and then, you know, Papal Rome and so on. 18:57 So many they just fit, fit, fit, fit, all the prophecy 19:00 and some will still say no. No it can't be. 19:04 You know, identifying marks are just exactly what God said. 19:07 So you can identify, so that we make no mistake. 19:11 I said you this, so and so, the man-- 19:13 when he comes to get you and pick you up, 19:16 he is going to--oh listen, be careful now. 19:17 He is going to have one arm and one leg 19:19 and he is going to have a big tattoo on his forehead. 19:22 Listen to me carefully, 19:23 you know, he'll be wearing certain color of clothes. 19:26 He would be easy then to spot 19:28 if he came after you even if you didn't know, wouldn't he? 19:30 And you'll say, oh yeah, I spotted him. 19:32 Well, God gives His characteristics, 19:34 so that we may spot, that we may understand, that we may know. 19:37 God gives warning after warning in scripture. 19:40 We got to study in Daniel 2 and Daniel 7, 19:42 Daniel 8, Revelation 13, Revelation 17, Revelation 18. 19:47 Jesus has some powerful words to say against the man of sin. 19:51 Then he calls a group of people in the last day 19:53 to give the Three Angels' Message. 19:54 We are now under, what? 19:56 The Third Angels Message, it deals with the Sabbath. 19:59 It deals with the sanctuary. 20:00 Oh, there's so many different topic, 20:01 but it deals with, what? 20:02 The man of sin, the mark of the beast to identify the power 20:07 that we're identifying today, 20:08 we're doing as God as said. Will it be popular? No. 20:11 Will the words come back and bite you? 20:13 May be so, but God has commissioned us 20:15 to warn the world, why? 20:17 Because people are being deceived. 20:20 And then, of course, there is tribulation. 20:21 all that lived godly 20:22 in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 20:25 He said this power here in Daniel 7:25 20:28 which speak words against the Most High. 20:32 Daniel, Revelation 13:5 it said, a mouth speaking what? 20:35 Blasphemy, so there will be a power on earth that 20:37 we've been talking about in the previous four lessons here. 20:40 And what is blasphemy? 20:41 Because it's always blaspheming God. 20:43 Well, in Mark 2:7, they talked about Jesus. 20:47 They said, why did, why does this man does speak blasphemy? 20:51 Who can forgive sin? But God only. 20:54 So blasphemy to the Jews, they said what? 20:56 A man that would claim to forgive sin on earth. 20:59 Oh, there is only one group, 21:00 you know that claimed to forgive sins, 21:03 papacy, right, the Roman Catholic Church. 21:05 No one else will say we could forgive sin. 21:08 God is identifying Marks-- 21:10 they will throw those things out. 21:11 Please do not throw them out. 21:13 Let's knew some other identifying marks here 21:15 and the church, the Roman Church 21:17 has made these things plain, very, very clear. 21:21 Let's go over them shall we quickly. 21:22 Now notice let's see if it fits. 21:24 All names that applied to Christ number one, 21:27 applied to the pope did you get it? 21:30 You see, we're talking about identifying here. 21:33 Someone will try to take the place of God on earth, 21:36 will stay in the place of God rise above. 21:38 Isaiah 14, remember what the devil said 21:39 he would do? So he is using it. 21:41 It's not individuals we're talking about. 21:43 It's an organization that the devil is using 21:45 and the world is following after. 21:48 Hope we will get chance to explain more of that. 21:50 So all the names that's applied to Christ, 21:52 applied to the Pope now. 21:53 We began with these, these things are all taken 21:55 from the Roman Catholic writings himself. 21:57 Number two, he is not a mere man 22:00 they said, the Pope but as it were God. 22:03 Ooh, that's heavy duty, isn't it? 22:05 And then they look at the Pope and they say, 22:06 he is king of kings. Ooh, why? 22:11 Number four it says, we hold upon the earth 22:13 the place of God almighty. 22:15 The Pope Leo XIII said. What did he say? 22:19 They said, the audacity and boldness, 22:22 you and I sit back we say nothing, 22:23 we do nothing, we sit in amazement like. 22:26 Wow, there must be something to this. 22:29 He holds the place of God almighty 22:31 on this earth, oh, friend. 22:34 Number five, the papacy, the Pope claims infallibility. 22:38 You know, we know that only what? 22:41 The God had has infallibility. 22:43 Number six, he claims to have complete control 22:47 over Universal Church, that's what they called the church, 22:51 Universal Church, in the matters of faith 22:53 and morals and discipline and government, 22:55 every pastor and every believer 22:58 and independent of any human authority. 23:01 These are pretty heavy duty statements. 23:04 Sad part of all this is almost all the world then is deceived. 23:09 They are deceived even though, 23:10 even though God has made it plain, 23:12 dozens and dozens of examples, 23:14 that point to the--the fallacy of the Roman Church 23:18 and still yet the world is standing in amazement of it, 23:20 like, wow, that's really something. 23:26 Almost every person if you think about it. 23:29 Everything is done and their services come from Paganism. 23:33 Let's think about that for just a moment, 23:36 at least in the--let me give you one example, 23:38 at least in the dynasty of the Pope Paul's. 23:42 This is one thing that they do-- you've seen it many times, 23:44 you see it on real old movies and different things 23:46 when you have made the king of an island 23:48 or so on and so forth. 23:50 They were carried, remember the king 23:52 that was carried on a portable, what? 23:54 On a portable throne, your head on the staves and begin to go. 23:58 You know, this was a Pagan ritual 24:01 which was done over a thousand years 24:03 before the Roman Church even. 24:06 But it's interesting now, how the Roman Church 24:08 had adopted that for many, many years, 24:10 that's exactly what they did with the Pope. 24:13 Where did they get that? Straight from what? 24:15 Paganism and they did this when they worshipped what? 24:18 When they worshipped the sun, straight from Paganism, 24:22 should we be concerned about? Oh, yes we should. 24:25 How about the title of the Pope? 24:28 The title of the Pope by Vicarius Filii Dei. 24:30 You know, what that is? 24:31 It's branded in the-- using the Roman numerals here. 24:34 Its 666, the word Pope in Latin means, what? 24:41 Papa, which means what? That means father. 24:45 A false system of Christianity 24:47 is branded with the number 666. 24:50 God has made it clear, but yet we want to throw it out. 24:53 We want to think there is something 24:54 magic or mysterious about it. 24:57 In the Greek translation of the kingdom language, 25:01 we get into studying if you have a lot of time 25:03 you need to restudy this out. 25:05 Latinos which means something like--Latin speaking 25:08 or it means Latin man which is 666, very interesting. 25:13 The Italian church, I don't want 25:15 to be offensive to anyone dear friend, 25:17 I'm not talking individuals here. 25:18 But it's very interesting, Italian church in the Greek, 25:21 that's in the numerical values 666, 25:25 Revelation 13:18 says, here is wisdom, 25:29 let him to have understanding, 25:31 count the number of the beast for it is the number of a what? 25:34 Good, of a man. It is the number of a man and it's what? 25:37 It's called 600 three score and 6 which is 666. 25:43 There is so much information here that we can't miss 25:46 what God is trying to tell us here. 25:48 The mark of the beast, the image to the beast, 25:51 I mean, after all, you know, the papacy claims 25:53 to have changed the Seventh-day Sabbath to what? 25:57 Sunday the first day of the week, 25:59 I tell you--I am amazed, you can explain 26:02 that to people when they ask about, 26:04 where you going Saturday or seventh day of the week 26:06 and you know, we go on Sunday, 26:08 I guess there is really not any difference, 26:09 yes, there is. Oh, friend, study the word of God. 26:13 Are you saying when the Bible says, 26:14 the seventh day of the week, God bless, sanctified, 26:16 set apart and then we have the audacity as a Christian, 26:19 believing in the God of heaven as our creator to say, 26:22 it doesn't make any difference. 26:25 And then we prove point after point after point 26:27 and where by, you know, my wife had mentioned here, 26:30 I failed to bring in with me is that "Mark of the Beast" book. 26:34 Now remember the "Mark of the Beast" book, 26:36 couple of hundred first, couple of hundred callers, 26:37 we're going to give you all kind of quotes. 26:40 I don't have time to go in it, 26:42 to all these quotes here that come right straight 26:44 from the church to tell you, yes, we changed it. 26:47 You know, almost 1,000 years before 26:49 there ever was a Protestant we changed it. 26:52 The seventh day to Sunday the first of the week. 26:55 And remember Roman-- you'll say 26:56 I'll never be a Roman Catholic. 26:58 Listen, the Roman Catholic Church thinks this way. 27:01 They're saying this, it doesn't-- 27:02 you don't have to join our church 27:04 in order to be a part of us. 27:05 All you have to do is accept one of our teachings 27:09 and we as the Protestants accepted lot more 27:11 than just one and Sunday sacredness is one of those, why? 27:15 The world is wondering after the beast 27:17 because they instituted that, 27:18 did you get that, here's wisdom. 27:21 Knocking the beast, image to the beast, 27:24 once the papacy comes out boldly, 27:26 it says, oh, we've changed the seventh day, 27:29 Sunday the first day of the week. 27:31 You know, when the prophecy in Daniel 7:25 27:33 we look that before, it said what? 27:35 "He will think to change" what? "times and laws." 27:40 Papacy and Signs of the Times, 27:42 May 6th, 1897 makes the statement, listen carefully, 27:45 it says, "The Papacy has exercised her power 27:48 to compel men to obey her, and she will continue to do so. 27:53 We need the same spirit that was manifested 27:56 by God's servants in the conflict with Paganism." 28:00 We need that spirit, this is the important part here. 28:03 We can't stand back and say, well, 28:04 it doesn't matter anymore. 28:05 Oh, it matter, because it's rowing back, 28:07 this power is rowing back right now like never before. 28:11 We're gonna see that persecution, 28:13 burst upon the world. 28:15 They're laying back in weight right now-- 28:18 and the Protestant do the work. 28:20 You and I are doing it. We're following after and what? 28:22 We're deceived, and we don't know it. 28:26 Let me read you something 28:27 from the Doctrinal Catechism, page 174. 28:31 Here's what they say, oh I can read you dozens and dozens, 28:33 that's why I am offering you, you know, that free book. 28:35 You gonna have to call and we make sure 28:36 we send that to you. But notice how bold this is. 28:40 And again, I am shocked because you can read these to people. 28:43 You can give him a dozen, two dozen, three dozen quotes 28:47 and realize where that Sunday came from 28:49 and they look around and say, oh, well. 28:51 You're not serious with God 28:52 when you do that my brother and my sister? 28:55 You can't be serious. You got to say, well, why? 28:58 How did this happen? 29:00 And certainly we'll be giving you the history 29:02 from the beginning of this series. 29:03 That's why you need them all to put them together. 29:05 But here what it says here, had she not, 29:07 the Papacy, such power she could not have done 29:10 which all modernist religions agree with her. 29:14 She could not have established the observance of Sunday, 29:17 the first day of the week, 29:19 for the observance of Saturday the seventh day of the week. 29:22 Oh, listen, a change forth 29:25 which there is no scriptural authority. 29:29 The church that did it, God said would do it 29:32 and the world would wonder after or follow after it. 29:37 And there is no scriptural authority 29:39 and many, many quotes in this book if you call for it, 29:42 you're gonna see in there and these are legitimate quotes. 29:45 That they will say, there is no scriptural authority. 29:47 In fact, one of my-- I hope you get the book 29:49 because when you read it, you know, what they say, 29:51 if you want to follow the Bible, 29:53 you know, whom you should follow. 29:54 The Roman Church said this, 29:56 it said, there is only one 29:57 and that would be Seventh-day Adventist 29:59 because they keep the true seventh day. 30:01 We changed it because we have the power to do so. 30:04 The world wonders after in spite of themself 30:06 by going to church on a day that we made. 30:09 Oh, if I'm anxious to abide it 30:11 and I don't want you to feel like 30:12 I am pounding and beating dear friend. 30:13 There is a urgency inside with this message, why? 30:17 Because millions are deceived and they not know it. 30:20 The bible is clear, if you want to know truth friend, 30:23 God will make it clear to you. 30:25 Oh, you have to is, be praying about, 30:27 pray about, pray about, say, oh, God, 30:29 I want to know what truth is. 30:31 Or if maybe you're not interested. 30:33 You think you're gonna coast along into heaven. 30:35 Friend, I've got to, maybe surprise for you 30:37 isn't not gonna happen that way. 30:38 Jesus said what? 30:40 You deny self and you take up the cross 30:42 and you follow me. 30:43 It's gonna be a heavy road. 30:45 Look at disciples, look at Jesus life. 30:47 Look at all the reformers. 30:48 Look at all what happened to them, 30:49 those who lived a Godly in Christ Jesus. 30:51 Look what happened to them. 30:53 They were different, they had a different message, 30:55 different lifestyle, they spoke different, 30:57 they dare to be different 30:58 and God's calling for that reformation, 31:00 not only in the Protestant world 31:01 all over but in Catholicism, 31:04 with Catholicism and everyone. 31:07 Seventh-day Adventist needs reformation. 31:10 God is calling us. 31:12 In a little book called Paganism, 31:15 in our Christianity page 145, oh, please listen, 31:19 the church made a sacred day of Sunday. 31:23 Listen carefully, largely because 31:26 it was a weekly festival of the sun, 31:30 for it was a definite Christian policy 31:33 to take over the Pagan Festivals 31:35 and dear to the people by tradition 31:38 that you get what we been talking about here 31:40 and to give them Christian significance. 31:44 You realize Paganism has just covered 31:46 almost every thing you can possibly think about 31:48 in the church outside the church you name it. 31:51 Things that we do, things that we participate in, 31:53 the roots are grounded in Paganism. 31:57 This was their custom, do you understand 31:59 these are history and these are people 32:01 who studied the facts and they write them down. 32:06 Sunday was festival of what? 32:07 Keep it, that the sun. 32:09 Weekly festival of sun and it was what? 32:13 The policy of Christianity, did you know 32:15 a Christian policy to take over the Pagan Festivals 32:18 and dear to the people why? 32:19 So you can get the pagans into the church. 32:22 You can get him in because they held for their tradition. 32:25 Oh, if you and I just hold on faster 32:27 what we know is truth, dear friends, 32:29 now God would bless us, give this message. 32:32 Man, what a mark of the power of the Papacy. 32:38 Wow! She boasts of it. Yes we did it. 32:45 Now, let me read this one here and this, 32:47 just it's kind of blow your way a little bit 32:50 and maybe you're not just interested, you say you are. 32:54 But if you are you gonna react, from all the lessons 32:58 all that we've read from the Bible and from history. 33:02 And remember we're reading from the Roman Catholic newspapers, 33:07 their own articles, their own writings, 33:09 and we're not saying things that they haven't 33:10 or it said about themselves, 33:11 because they have their audacity stand in your face. 33:14 Dear Protestant brothers and sisters 33:16 and say yes it write we did it but, you know, what? 33:18 The world follows right after us, 33:21 they're one of us, are you? 33:23 Listen to this article here, 33:25 Roman Catholic newspaper "Our Sunday Visitor" says, 33:28 "Protestants accept Sunday rather than Saturday 33:33 as the day for public worship 33:36 after the Catholic Church made the change. 33:41 But the protestant mind does not seem to realize 33:46 that in observing Sunday they are accepting 33:49 the authority of the spokesman for the Church, the pope." 33:56 Wow! The Bible says, the world wondered after the beast. 34:01 Revelation 13, there are, those whose names 34:03 are not written in the "Lambs Book Of Life." 34:07 Notice what, there's telling you 34:11 and they're telling me as a Protestant, 34:16 in case it doesn't make any difference to you. 34:19 They're saying the protestant mind 34:21 doesn't not seem to realize. 34:25 That's they're observing Sunday, 34:27 they're accepting the authority of what? 34:29 The pope, because he changed it. 34:33 Deception, Persecution, you see all the world coming, 34:38 you've seen some statistics 34:39 at the beginning of the program here. 34:41 How many nations are involved in, 34:42 following along with, getting involved with, 34:46 setting up things for Sunday laws, 34:48 just in a very near future we need to wake up dear friend, 34:51 time of troubles coming on this world, why? 34:53 Because we're accepting tradition 34:55 rather than accepting God as creator of heaven and earth, 34:57 He is coming down, He is boiling down to that time. 35:01 This quote here fulfills the prophecy 35:03 of Revelation Chapter 13 verses 16 and 17. 35:07 You know well, said he calls us, bond all, 35:09 great, small, and great, rich, poor, 35:12 free and bond, to receive a mark, where? 35:14 In their right hand, or in their foreheads. 35:18 Verse 17, "That no man might not" what? 35:20 He may not buy or sell, save he had the mark 35:24 and the name of he beast and the number of the, his name." 35:28 Friend, that's heavy duty. 35:29 The Bible points there's time that's coming up 35:31 to this world right now, but if you're 35:33 true to the God of Heaven and you don't follow after Rome 35:36 and you can't take the Paganism, 35:38 you can't take that itself from Babylon 35:40 and from Egypt coming in and infiltrating in the church 35:43 and you dare to stand up against it. 35:44 There will be a group that will rise up 35:46 in the last days, legislate action, 35:48 say you will not be able to buy or sell, 35:50 save you have the mark of the beast. 35:53 That you follow after the beast. 35:54 Oh, friend, that's a whole big long study within itself. 35:58 You say that's not possible. 35:59 Well, there is no one gonna do anything like that. 36:02 Well, let me just read one little quote, 36:03 remember you got to call for the book. 36:05 Oh, it blow your mind. 36:07 Dr. Baskin Robbins, in one of his speech 36:11 in Kansas wrote, he said this listen, 36:13 but he believed in Sunday legislation and he was-- 36:16 he said this, "There is a class of people 36:19 in the country who will not keep Sunday. 36:23 He called it the Christian Sabbath, 36:24 no such things as Christian Sabbath. 36:26 Sabbath is the seventh-day, that always has been. 36:28 It always will be, why? 36:30 Bible said, he will think to change it. 36:32 You can't change what God has blessed. 36:34 You can't change what He sanctified. 36:36 You can't change what He said apart for holy use. 36:38 You might think so dear friends, 36:40 but the Bible says no, you serve 36:42 a God that doesn't change. 36:44 And so you have people saying what? 36:45 Well, some people are not gonna change, 36:47 but we're gonna make them change. 36:48 Now there is a thorn in our flesh. 36:51 Remember Jesus time what they said about it. 36:53 Oh, better for just a few to perish 36:54 than the whole nation to suffer. 36:56 So we see the nation, we see the economy, 36:58 we see things going down the tube right now. 37:00 Friend, we're headed to that same thing right now. 37:01 Are you prepared? 37:04 Do you love Jesus with all your heart? 37:05 You're willing to take that stand. 37:08 So this, Dr. Baskin Robbins, here what he said here, 37:11 now notice, there is a people in the country 37:13 who refused to keep the Sunday 37:15 unless they're forced to do so. 37:18 But it easily can be done. 37:21 See, people say, well, we have religious freedom, 37:23 well, they're not going to--he said 37:24 this easily can be done here 37:25 and he put out some steps, listen. 37:28 If we would say to them, it has to be 37:32 Sabbath keepers that he is referring to. 37:37 If we would say to them, 37:39 we will not sell anything to them. 37:42 We will not buy anything from them. 37:45 We will not work for them, 37:48 nor hire them to work for us. 37:51 This would wipe them out 37:54 and all the world would keep Sunday. 37:58 Wow, oh, you didn't know people were thinking along this line. 38:04 Absolutely they're thinking along this line. 38:06 There's a talk of this line, it's been going on 38:08 for years and years and years. 38:11 We are seeing the movement grow and grow and grow 38:13 for Sunday sacredness, following after what? 38:16 The Catholic Church. 38:18 Have you embraced that? 38:20 Have you just studied to find out to say well, 38:22 that's a day that He would resurrect us? 38:24 Is that all you know about it. 38:26 Oh, God help us. 38:28 We can be deceived if we don't know, 38:30 information here, that book when you call old friend, 38:33 there is so much information. 38:35 You know, there's a few people in the world, 38:39 few people in the world that recognize this counterfeit. 38:42 And may I say a counter to 38:44 counterfeit institution which is the papacy. 38:48 It's counterfeit, there is no doubt about it. 38:50 When I talk about people, the organization, 38:51 the devil said he is gonna find a place, 38:52 he is gonna have his own religion, 38:54 he is gonna have his own followers, 38:55 he is gonna have his own day just like God does 38:57 and you're gonna have to choose which side. 39:01 But the churches own statements we've been reading here. 39:05 She has almost the whole world following after her, 39:08 wondering after her on the false day, and what, 39:12 and the Protestants are doing the same thing, 39:13 right along with the papacy. 39:15 If we do that, we honor Catholicism above our Creator. 39:20 Oh, I want you to see the importance of this my friend. 39:23 You think these things are easy, messages to give. 39:25 Oh, Lord have mercy. 39:28 I tremble at many times, shake about it, 39:30 it's on my mind constantly, that the world has to be one 39:33 because God has so many good people every where 39:35 in every church but the call has to clear our way, 39:37 hear the message to come out of her my people, 39:40 that you been undertakers of what? 39:41 Of her sins. How about the worship? 39:45 See worship is, worship is the bases of a religion 39:49 and we cannot accept a man made imitation day of worship 39:54 in the place of the true Seventh-day Sabbath 39:57 which we find is, what? 39:58 The Mark of the Beast is religious authority. 40:01 They state, we substituted that day of God. 40:03 What does it say, what does man say? 40:05 We substituted God. 40:06 We have substituted the Creator. 40:08 Oh, friend, no we've got to study 40:10 to show ourselves approved to God. 40:13 See, I'm a believer in this, 40:15 only the honest in heart will hear this. 40:17 And people say, oh, thank you, Lord, 40:19 but when jott you're gonna say, oh, 40:21 we got to get rid of this kind of stuff. 40:22 We don't want to hear this kind of stuff. 40:26 Very few who want to get right with God, 40:28 will even hear all this information, they will say, 40:29 well, yeah I know but, you know, 40:31 my mom and my daddy, listen it's a-- 40:33 don't worry about your mommy and your daddy 40:34 what was good for them. 40:36 It's what good for you right now. 40:37 The light that you have is what God holds you 40:39 and holds me accountable for it. 40:43 Oh, He is calling us out, out of this apostasy 40:48 that the world has fallen into. 40:51 And if you've been, you seen 40:52 what we were following after the papacy. 40:53 You're gonna say, you know, I see 40:54 there is something about this Seventh-day Sabbath 40:56 and I'm gonna study and if that is what God says in His word, 40:59 I'm gonna follow it and this is the truth. 41:02 Bible, Bible tells it over and over. 41:04 History tells it over and over, there is no mistake about it, 41:07 if you really want to know. 41:10 And God said we ought to in these last days 41:12 to identify what? 41:14 This organization, this counterfeit organization, why? 41:18 Because it's deceiving the world and millions and billions 41:20 will be lost if man doesn't stand up 41:22 and shake somebody else stuff. 41:24 So we're padding on your head and say, oh, 41:26 everything is good, everything is right 41:28 and we don't have to worry about anything. 41:30 We don't have to-- friend, no it's wrong. 41:33 God has challenged us. 41:34 He has given us a message of the hour. 41:39 Subject is, just to me its so vitals on my mind 41:42 and I know it's on many of your minds too 41:45 that the enemy has waged war against the truth. 41:49 He has waged war against the people of God. 41:52 Revelation 12:17 tells you that, how he work? 41:54 The old devil is angry with the church, right, 41:57 made war with the remnant of her seed 41:59 who keep the commandments of God, testimony faith of Jesus. 42:04 But you realize what, the devil said, I'm making war. 42:06 He's been making war with us for 1,500 years 42:09 over and over through the papacy. 42:13 And some of us have no idea. 42:15 And let's, Daniel call at this. Let's go this real quick. 42:17 Daniel call at the little horn, remember Daniel 7 and 8. 42:21 The king of fears countenance in Daniel Chapter 8. 42:25 Paul call him the man of sin, do you remember? 42:27 Second Thessalonians 2, 3, and, 4. 42:29 The mystery of inequity, Second Thessalonians 2:7. 42:33 John called it the antichrist, do you remember 42:35 in First John 2, 3 and 4 and in First John 3:4 42:38 You remember that. God called it, what? 42:41 Babylon, the Great, Revelation 14, 16 through 18. 42:46 The beast of Revelation 13:17, 19, and 20. 42:50 The dragon that came out as a flood, 42:53 Revelation 12:13 through 15, Scarlet women, 42:57 drunken with the blood of the saint, 42:58 sitting on a scarlet coloured beast, 43:00 with the kings of the earth, 43:01 Revelation 17, you think God is not, you know, 43:04 He told us clearly in His word, oh, friend, over and over. 43:09 But you still might be saying, you still might be saying, 43:11 look well, there is still a lot of good, you know, 43:15 that the Roman Church has a lot of good. 43:16 Oh, yes, they do, a lot of good people praise God 43:19 and He is calling them dear friend, too. 43:21 We can't let them sink down. 43:23 We've got to give the truth and the message and let them 43:26 respond to the call and the Protestant world 43:28 too just following after the papacy. 43:32 It's true, they have a lot of good things. 43:34 They have done a lot of good in the world, 43:36 no doubt about it, but this does not ever make, 43:39 err truth and never had God says, 43:41 well, there's a quite a bit of good here, 43:43 so we're not going to worry about it. 43:44 Jesus says no, its either you're all for Him 43:47 or you're against Him, one way or the other. 43:49 The enemy likes err. 43:51 He likes to put it run right along side the truth 43:54 as you will know and it makes it very difficult 43:57 then to expose for those who are still doubting. 44:02 I want to examine some of the teaching, 44:04 I want to do it quickly here 44:05 in our last few moments that we have or minutes. 44:07 Now remember if the teachings are from scripture, 44:11 we accept them and if not we deny them. 44:16 So for instance saying well, I'm a religious person, 44:18 your religion must be based, they should be 44:20 on the word of God, not tradition. 44:23 And it's important that we study. 44:25 Question, should an organization 44:28 then it calls itself Christian or religion. 44:32 Shouldn't it be based on scripture? 44:34 Sure, if not it can't be a Christian religion. 44:38 I'm trying to make it simple here 44:39 for my own mind and for you too. 44:41 It should be based upon Christ, 44:43 upon the teachings of Christ and not man and not tradition. 44:47 Instead you and I looking glassy eye like, 44:49 boy, this is all pumped and all glory 44:51 and all these things right here. 44:53 We look at the man of sin for what it really is. 44:58 Revelation 17:1 through 5 we see that the judgment, 45:01 the sentence of the great hoar 45:03 the Bible said takes place in verse 1. 45:07 Now remember if Jesus seem so fit to call these, 45:09 you know, such names and identify in such a way 45:12 that you can't miss it. 45:13 He want's us to do the same thing today. 45:16 He said there is a harlot that sits upon many waters, verse 1. 45:19 She exercises her power over many people, 45:22 modern Babylon sits and impresses people on the earth. 45:25 Verse 2, "The kings of the earth, 45:27 political powers of the earth, 45:29 notice this as you read your Bible. 45:31 They back it up with the whore. 45:34 They back it up with a--this power, this beast power. 45:41 And they find it their duty 45:42 to try to destroy the people of God. 45:46 She's committed fornication the Bible said. 45:48 She has an illicit alliance with 45:51 professed Christians and political powers. 45:54 She is not related to Christ at all. 45:56 Man this is heavy duty. 45:57 Verse 2, inhabitants it talks about of the earth 45:59 or may drunk with her wine. 46:02 She is an apostate woman. 46:04 She is a guilty of opposing God. 46:06 She is guilty of opposing truth, she rides on a beast. 46:09 Scarlet color, scarlet is the color of what? 46:11 Of sin, Isaiah 1:18, the great red dragon 46:15 of Revelation Chapter 12. 46:16 Oh, friend, we've got to cover these things quickly. 46:18 Here is our main point. 46:19 Is that this power has made the world drunk, 46:22 intoxicated with her wine. 46:25 To where the reason and judgment 46:26 and spiritual perceptions are completely gone, how?
