00:41 Hello and welcome to "Behold the Lamb Presents."
00:44 I'm Chris Shelton your host. 00:45 And we are so glad that you have tuned in with us today. 00:49 Today's message is a first of a three part series 00:52 that we have entitled "America in Prophecy." 00:57 For some of you right now it's as if I heard you say, "What? 01:00 I've never read anything that pertained to America 01:03 as the nation in the Bible." 01:05 And that maybe true because when it comes to reading the Bible, 01:09 many Christians avoid 01:11 the prophetic book Revelation altogether. 01:14 Often people feel it is beyond their understanding. 01:17 Well, we're here today to set the record straight. 01:20 For decades avid Bible students 01:22 have prayerfully opened its pages and have been enlightened 01:26 and guided by the Holy Spirit to a greater understanding 01:30 and knowledge about this world, its history, 01:34 its present condition and its near future and final end. 01:39 We find that the knowledge of history is vital 01:42 in order to fully comprehend the symbolism 01:45 that the Lord chose to use throughout scripture. 01:48 And today, we live in a knowledge-filled world. 01:52 For many of us, answers to our questions 01:55 are right at our finger tips literally. 01:57 I know for myself, if I have a question 02:00 that that needs to be answered outside of the scripture, 02:03 the first thing I usually do is to Google it on my phone. 02:06 I use the speed of my phone to look at definitions of words, 02:10 historical events, and so many other things. 02:13 We now have to use of our phones, 02:16 pads, our computers to read 02:18 and research all types of literature. 02:20 My point is, we have little excuse, 02:24 very little excuse for not being able to study prophecy 02:28 and related symbolism with history. 02:30 We just need to take the time needed to study 02:34 and to do the research. 02:35 And once we begin to do this, 02:37 we will see how all the great nations 02:40 throughout history have been addressed in the Holy Writ 02:44 and we will soon realize 02:46 that the good old United States is no different. 02:50 God foresaw and ordained the rising of this great nation 02:55 and He describes us very well through the prophetic vision 02:59 He gave to His beloved disciple John. 03:02 And not only as America refer to a prophecy, 03:06 but it has a tremendous role 03:08 to play in the final events of this world. 03:11 So stay tuned as Pastor Kenny Shelton 03:14 begins to put all these many things 03:17 together for us in a simple fashion to help us gain 03:20 the proper insight to "America in Prophecy," 03:25 and this is part one. 03:27 But first, let's visit the 3ABN Worship Center 03:30 and be blessed with the song 03:31 that is entitled "Shepherd of My Heart" 03:34 as sung by Denise Barclay. 03:58 Maker of this heart of mine, 04:03 You know me very well 04:07 You understand my deepest parts, 04:12 more than I know myself 04:17 So when I face the darkness, 04:21 when I need to find my way 04:27 I'll trust in You, 04:29 shepherd of my heart 04:37 Keeper of this heart of mine, 04:42 Your patience knows no end 04:46 You've loved me back into your arms, 04:52 time and time again 04:56 So if I start to wander, 05:01 like the lamb that's gone astray 05:06 I'll trust in You, 05:09 shepherd of my heart 05:16 You're the beacon of my night, 05:21 You're the sunlight of my days 05:25 I can rest within Your arms, 05:31 I can know Your loving ways 05:39 So let the cold winds blow 05:42 and let the storms rage all around 05:48 I'll trust in You, 05:50 shepherd of my heart 06:11 Oh, giver of this 06:15 heart of mine, 06:17 You're what I'm looking for 06:21 For all my deepest gratitude 06:27 You love me even more 06:32 So as I walk through valleys, 06:36 listening for my master's call 06:41 I'll trust in You 06:44 shepherd of my heart 06:51 And You're the beacon of my night, 06:56 You're the sunlight of my days 07:01 I can rest within Your arms, 07:06 I can know 07:07 Your loving ways 07:14 So as I walk through valleys, 07:18 listening for Your call 07:23 I'll trust in You, 07:26 shepherd of my heart 07:33 I'll trust in You, 07:37 shepherd of... my heart. 07:58 Thanks for joining us here "Behold the Lamb." 08:00 As you already heard 08:02 this is a very, very important subject. 08:04 I want to just make this very clear 08:06 onset of this program. 08:08 It's a three part series of "America in Prophecy". 08:11 This definitely will be dealing with you, 08:14 it'll be dealing with me, it's going to be dealing 08:16 with the whole world. 08:18 So you don't want to miss the study, 08:20 but before we get into it we always ask 08:22 God's special blessing and anointing. 08:24 The enemy does not want you to hear, 08:27 to see this message. 08:29 He just doesn't. 08:30 He has these little things up his sleeve. 08:32 We talk about here. They wants to surprise us with, 08:35 but I'm thankful for the prophecy 08:36 of the Book of Revelation, aren't you? 08:38 We're gonna be studying, but let's first, 08:40 let's go, where you can. 08:41 How about praying with me? 08:43 I'm gonna kneel right here, 08:44 you pray with me where you can. 08:46 Loving Father in Heaven, again we thank You 08:48 for the privilege of studying Your word. 08:50 Now we ask for the guidance of thy sweet Holy Spirit. 08:53 Oh, Lord, send the Holy Spirit and sweet abundance 08:56 that we may hear Your voice so we may understand 08:58 this prophecy and it is a life and death issue. 09:02 So bless us now we pray--pray clear. 09:04 Our minds, our hearts that we may hear 09:07 the sweet voice of Jesus we may understand this message. 09:10 Bless each one who maybe listening or viewing. 09:14 Lord, just take the pressures of everyday life off of them, 09:17 help them to concentrate on this message. 09:19 We'll give you praise, 09:21 give you honor and give you glory, 09:22 and we thank you in Jesus name, amen. 09:26 Grab your Bible where you can turn to Book Revelation 13. 09:30 Now in this first part, we're going to be setting 09:32 the foundation on which to build. 09:35 The second part and the third part, 09:36 there is a lot of meet, a lot of understanding 09:39 that we need to go into little verse by verse study. 09:42 So you'll need a pencil and paper, 09:44 jot all these things down. 09:46 I would like to start with the-- give you some food for thought, 09:50 so that you can get on the same page with me because 09:53 as we look at the truth 09:55 of the Three Angels Message of Revelation 14, 09:59 how they're coming to pass even before our very eyes. 10:03 And so I looked in the book "The Great Controversy." 10:05 Some of you have it, many have been 10:07 calling in to get it from us, 10:08 and I want to read just a couple of paragraphs, page 605. 10:14 It says, "The truths of the three angel's 10:16 third angel's message have often 10:18 been regarded as mere alarmists." 10:20 So here's what happened? 10:22 Those who were preaching about the Mark of the Beast, 10:24 the Image of the Beast and so on, 10:25 all your alarmists, that can't happen in this country. 10:28 Listen, you are regarded as an alarmist, let it be. 10:32 I'm saying today, the alarm is going off. 10:34 The alarmists said, "Their predictions 10:36 that religious intolerance 10:39 would gain control in the United States, 10:42 that the church and the state would unite to persecute 10:46 those who keep the commandments of God, 10:48 have been pronounced." 10:50 Notice this, "Groundless and absurd. 10:53 It has been confidently declared that." 10:55 Notice this with me, "That this land could never be-- 10:59 become other than what it has always been. 11:02 " What? "The defender of religious freedom." 11:06 If you stop here, you say, "Well, there's more." 11:08 Yes. Next word is, "But as the question 11:13 of enforcing Sunday observance is widely agitated, 11:17 the event so long doubted." 11:20 Oh, boy, "And disbelieved is seen to be approaching." 11:25 Pay attention those of viewers 11:26 studying the Bible and The Great Controversy. 11:28 Notice this. "The third angel's message will produce." 11:32 Listen, "An effect 11:34 which it could not have had before. 11:38 In every generation." Listen carefully. 11:40 "God has sent His servants to rebuke sin, 11:45 both in the world and in the church." 11:49 These are words that many do not want to hear, 11:52 but notice, when this comes up 11:55 enforcing of Sunday observance becomes to be agitated 11:58 in the world, the third angel's message will produce, what? 12:02 An affect that it's never had before. 12:05 We haven't approached that yet. 12:06 We've been giving the three angels message 12:08 for years and many people before us. 12:11 But it's never going-- had the effect 12:12 so far as it will have 12:14 when the Sunday question is agitated. 12:17 God is going to work remarkably for the people of God. 12:21 Now notice this in referring to Sunday enforcement. 12:25 Notice this. And we're talking about 12:27 by the power that we're talking about 12:29 United States and Bible prophecy. 12:30 We're talking about Catholicism 12:32 and Protestantism uniting together. 12:35 Revelation 13:11-18, this is our study. 12:39 Great Controversy makes two lines 12:41 here that so important. 12:42 We need to bring this up. 12:44 Great Controversy 607 says, "The church appeals 12:48 to the strong arm of the civil power, 12:52 in this work. " What? " 12:53 The papists and the Protestants unite." 12:57 Let me tell you, there's a lot of emphasis, 12:59 especially in Adventism. 13:00 Let's just be clear about this. 13:01 A lot of eyes and ears always on the papist or, 13:05 you know, Catholicism 13:06 and what they're going to do and who is in control? 13:10 I must say this right here. 13:11 Once again we need to keep our eyes on Protestants, 13:16 apostate Protestantism. 13:17 They're gonna bring about these events 13:19 that we're gonna be talking about, 13:20 you know, the beast power, 13:22 the image to the beast. 13:23 So keep an eye on that. 13:25 A lot of time we're looking over here 13:26 and we should be looking this direction. 13:28 Notice the church when it begins to appeal 13:30 to the civil--strong arm of the civil power 13:33 then we find the papists 13:35 and Protestants working together. 13:37 Still another quote here, I want to do it quickly. 13:39 Great Controversy, page 616, jot this down, 13:42 read the whole thing when you have the opportunity. 13:44 "Romanism-- Romanism 13:46 in the Old World." We're talking about Roman. 13:47 What's happened in Europe in the Old Country? 13:50 "And apostate Protestantism in the New will pursue 13:54 a similar course toward those who honor 13:58 and keep all the divine precepts." 14:01 Very, very interesting here. 14:03 Are you a commandment keeper? 14:06 My friend, I'm not just appeal to you right now 14:08 while we're doing this study of "America in Prophecy," 14:11 that we really need your help in getting this message out. 14:14 We spend a very little time talking about it, 14:16 receiving phone calls and people are interested, 14:18 they're interested in getting Great Controversy and, 14:20 you know, prophet of the end and the Mark of the Beast 14:22 books and all how they loved the message and say, 14:24 "Boy, straight testimony is coming forward." 14:26 We need your help to get these books 14:28 and get this message is out to the world. 14:31 We have a privilege by God's grace 14:34 of reaching the whole world with His undiluted message. 14:37 I'm not talking about some of the little sweet 14:39 water down thing, I'm talking about 14:41 the straight testimony that's even going to make 14:43 many people in a high position little bit angry, 14:46 but it either is a message or it's not. 14:48 And so by God's grace, 14:50 we're gonna get this message out. 14:51 We can't do it without the help of God's people. 14:53 So, please keep that in mind, 14:54 in this study you think it's valuable 14:56 and we need to do more and say, 14:57 "Hey, it's nice. Okay, praise God. 14:59 We need to get with the program." 15:00 Help to get these things up. 15:02 People are hungering and thirsting after this message 15:05 and we need to get it out to every one 15:07 who wants to know what truth is. Have you thought about it? 15:10 When you talk about America, how? 15:12 Just the name America. 15:14 There's something special about that. 15:16 And when you turn to the Book of Revelation 13 15:18 and 11 so on, there's this power that's coming up 15:20 and we need to-- we really get into it and study. 15:23 But I think about when I say America, 15:25 I really do and I've been 15:26 to a lot of other countries in the world, 15:28 but I think America is the greatest country. 15:30 I really do. And you can go 15:32 and you can visit, you come back and you say, 15:33 "Oh, praise God for the United States of America." 15:36 It's a land of opportunity like, 15:38 no other place in the world. 15:41 It's a land of equality. 15:43 It's a land of freedom. 15:45 It's a land of vast resources. 15:48 God has blessed this country 15:51 in a wonderful, wonderful way. 15:52 God's hand has been on this country. 15:55 He's been blessing it by the millions 15:57 and millions and millions of people. 16:00 And, you know, as we study the Bible, 16:02 Bible prophecy predicts this country coming up 16:06 exactly at the right time, and we're many were looking 16:10 for a place safe haven of rest. 16:13 Friend, I wonder today. 16:15 Have you been looking for that safe haven of rest? 16:17 You need to be looking to Jesus, 16:19 the author and finisher of our faith. 16:21 But many people were coming from the old country 16:24 and they were coming to the new world. Why? 16:26 So they could worship God according to the dictates 16:29 of their own conscience. 16:31 There were people coming here 16:32 and wanting to make choices. 16:34 Think about that. 16:35 They wanted to make their own choices and own religions. 16:38 You know, they think about, 16:39 I want to serve God the way 16:41 that God's impressing me to not the way 16:42 maybe a church says to do it. 16:44 What a country? 16:46 For the people and by the people. 16:49 A country where you can elect individuals 16:53 to represent you in the government. Wow. 16:57 A country founded on democracy. 17:00 So we'd be talking about this lamb and the horns and so on, 17:03 but just stay with me and let's bill. 17:05 We talk about a country of democracy. 17:08 What does that mean, democracy? 17:10 Simply means that they-- a people hold the ruling power 17:15 through their elected representatives. 17:18 Then you say, "Well, yeah, but, you know, 17:20 this is republican reform of government or republican. 17:23 What does that mean? 17:25 It simply means a state, it can mean a nation 17:27 in which a supreme power rest with the people. 17:32 And what? And we have the right to vote. 17:34 We have a say, we're supposed to have a say. 17:39 And so when you hear of republicanism, 17:42 it simply that means this. 17:43 It means a-- the fundamental principles 17:46 of the United States of America. Wow. 17:50 Praise God for a constitution. 17:52 Praise God for our bill of rights. 17:54 Oh, friends, you're going to see 17:56 how this all fits together 17:57 as we go through this three part series. 17:59 You're going to see it, but you're gonna 18:00 have to view all three. 18:02 Praise God for the constitution. 18:04 Praise God for the bill of rights. 18:06 What are they lump them together? 18:07 Simply, a system of laws, 18:09 principles that governs a nation. 18:14 It's a supreme law of this country 18:17 adopted in 1789 and of course, 18:19 I need to mention the bill of rights so, 18:22 so very, very important here. 18:24 What does the bill of rights do? 18:25 Just exactly what it says. 18:27 It lists the rights and the freedoms 18:31 that is essential for a group of people. 18:34 And basically you can boil it down simply dealing 18:37 with freedom of speech, freedom of worship, 18:40 freedom to the symbol together. 18:42 Praise God for these things. 18:43 God directed them. 18:45 There's no doubt in my mind that God has directed them, 18:48 but we find a lot of people tampering with them today. 18:51 So in our study of Revelation 13:11-18, 18:55 we see this power starting out. 18:57 Oh, for and by the people, 19:00 but as time goes by great changes take place. 19:05 Well, how does this come about? 19:08 How do these changes come about? 19:10 And can they come about? 19:12 People are saying remember, 19:13 alarmists or what this can happen in our country. 19:17 See, with all of these safeguards 19:19 that we just barely touched on here, 19:21 the safeguards in place. 19:24 And what is the safeguards? 19:26 Constitution, bill of rights. 19:29 Is it needless to worry about 19:32 our civil and our religious liberties? 19:37 Are they not guaranteed? 19:39 See, people say that they're guaranteed. 19:41 These religious principles, liberties, 19:44 they are guarantee, so I am not 19:46 gonna worry about them. 19:47 Should we worry? 19:49 Because the Bible says, we need to worry. 19:50 We should worry. 19:52 Because this power that comes up begins to change. 19:56 Would it be awful if we just did a quick overview 19:58 of the study that we're getting ready 20:01 to do here in America in Prophecy 20:03 and break it down real simple? 20:05 Now I can do this very quickly, 20:06 but in the second, third study you'll see more, 20:09 I think how it make sense. 20:11 Revelation 13:11. I'm just kind of do a one line, 20:15 so get what's talking about. 20:17 This power that comes up will speak as the dragon. 20:20 Funny, comes up as a lamb, 20:22 but it begins to speak as the dragon. 20:24 In Revelation 13:12, notice this. 20:28 This power that comes up, it does something-- 20:32 it has something to do with worship. 20:35 And then it says what? 20:36 To worship the first beast. 20:40 Interesting here. 20:41 Very few people can connect that what the power 20:44 that we're talking about deals with worship. 20:47 Isn't it interesting when we really begin 20:49 to put our mind to this thing about when you worship? 20:52 Who are we going to give our legions to? 20:55 Is it going to be to God? 20:56 Is it going to be to man? 20:58 It's going to boil down to these--the issue here 21:00 of the commandments of God or the commandments of man. 21:04 Revelation 13:13, 14, quick overview, 21:08 you got to jot it down. 21:09 This power is going to use great signs and miracles 21:13 and wanders to produce 21:16 or to deceive mankind and to take, what? 21:20 They're going to really-- we're talking about 21:21 some real, real miracles here. 21:23 We're not talking about some little counterfeit, 21:25 some little rabbit in the hat thing, 21:27 we're talking about a power that's going to come upon 21:29 the scene that'll produce things that your mind, 21:32 you can't wrap it around you say, 21:34 "That must be from God unless you know what the truth is." 21:38 And this same power to working these miracles, 21:41 they're going to call for, what? 21:43 We need to make an image to the beast. 21:46 Sad thing, most people have no idea 21:48 about the image of the beast. 21:50 They don't understand what the Mark of the Beast is, 21:52 the number of the beast, 666. 21:55 They're still loud landy. 21:56 Some of the things that we hear going on in the world today, 21:59 but if you always sinner, it around the worship, 22:02 it will help you to understand 22:04 the great controversy that is going on. 22:06 Revelation 13:15. Here, we can see. 22:10 Here, we can see beyond a shadow 22:12 of that that there must be some laws that are passed 22:15 because that's using the word "Cause" 22:18 that if anyone would not worship or go long 22:21 with this beast power, the bottom-line or the image 22:25 they should be killed. 22:27 Now remember. 22:28 Proven from scripture, if this is United Sates 22:30 in Bible prophecy, comes like a lambs, 22:32 begin to speak like a, what? 22:34 A dragon. And pretty soon 22:35 it causes people to worship, and if you don't do it, 22:38 a death decree that could-- that could mean you. 22:42 We need to know about this power. 22:43 Revelation 13:16, 17, 18. 22:47 And once again, he causes by, what? 22:50 By law. Everyone to receive a mark that no man might-- 22:54 what does the Bible say? Good. 22:56 Buy or sale, safe he have this mark, 22:58 the number or his name, the 666. 23:02 But, you know, the sad part Revelation 13:8, 23:05 it talks about here and they worshiped him. 23:09 Say it again, they worshiped him. 23:12 And buddy says here, what? 23:13 The beast and the image to the beast, 23:15 but their names are not written in the Lamb's book of Life. 23:19 Their names are not written. 23:20 So the whole world, basically the whole world 23:23 is going to follow out to the beast. 23:24 Their names are not written in the Lamb's book of Life. 23:26 Boy, I pray brothers and sisters, 23:27 somebody is concerned about it today, 23:29 somebody needs to give a warning message, 23:32 and the devil doesn't want you to be looking at this subject. 23:36 Now listen--after taking just a quick short glance 23:39 of what we're going to be discussing 23:40 in our next couple of lessons. 23:43 I can already see and I don't know about you, 23:46 but I can see some conditions that prophecy talks about 23:49 some big changes coming about in this world. 23:52 They will come about. 23:54 And we're gonna come to the point 23:55 in the United States of America. 23:56 Somebody listen, that is either 23:58 going to be sink or swim. 24:01 This country is almost there right now, 24:03 with the people are putting the life jackets 24:05 on because we're in such turmoil. 24:08 And every direction that we go in, 24:09 we're going against the Word of God. 24:12 You see, we're being challenged. 24:13 Day in and day out. 24:15 Who we're gonna serve? 24:16 Who we're gonna go along with? 24:17 Sink or swim. 24:19 And then what? What happens? 24:20 When you get to this point, sink or swim, 24:22 in desperation when you have a government as we do, 24:25 they believe that you need to pass more laws, interesting. 24:29 And what will they do? 24:30 Bottom-line, they're going to affect our religious freedoms. 24:34 Oh, you say that's impossible? 24:37 Once again, that's impossible, can't happen. 24:40 Not for those kind of changes you will say to take, 24:43 that means the constitution must be change, 24:45 the bill of rights must be changed. 24:47 Let me just posses to. 24:48 You think about this for just a moment. 24:51 Could they really be changed? 24:52 Could they be made to say something 24:54 that they're not really saying? 24:57 Very interesting. 24:58 Chief Justice Hughes several years ago, 25:01 he was the Supreme Court justice. 25:03 He said this. That is just bottom-line 25:06 'cause people say the-- he said the constitution 25:09 is just exactly what we say it is. 25:13 The chief justice, oh. 25:15 It's exactly what we say that it is. 25:18 So listen, it doesn't have to be thrown out, 25:22 it doesn't have to have a lot of amendments 25:23 and different things put on it. 25:25 It's simply how the chief justice interpret it. 25:31 Or you need an example? Do you? All right. 25:32 Hey, we can do that. 25:34 I just want you to get you to thinking 25:35 and if you're riled up and you're already up 25:37 and you see praise God, it's all right. 25:39 How they interpret it? 25:40 Did it really need to be changed? 25:42 Listen, here's example. 25:44 This has to do with the chief justice, 25:47 warns a conclusion in 1961 25:50 here on the Merlin Sunday law closings. 25:55 See, when you say Sunday law, people just scratch their heads, 25:57 "Hey, man, I don't know. 25:58 You realize they've been before the court system 26:00 many, many years now, been challenged with, what? 26:03 The Sunday law, a blue law. 26:05 And sometimes we can't get that through our head. 26:08 This was quite a court case. 26:10 And one of the-- the chief justice warned. 26:12 As long, long, you know, 26:14 paper after paper he wrote on this, 26:17 but I want you to look at the bottom-line here. 26:18 Now I want to present the bottom-line of what he said. 26:21 Just exactly what we just talked about, 26:23 how it's interpreting it? 26:24 Didn't have to change a thing? 26:27 This had to do with Sunday closing laws. 26:28 Here's what he said bottom-line. 26:30 The present purpose and affect is not to aid religion. 26:36 Already he ruled it out, is it not? 26:38 Sunday closing law doesn't aid religion? 26:41 Chief justice here said, it's not the aid religion, 26:44 but to say--listen, to set aside 26:46 a day of rest and recreation. 26:50 Where have you heard that before? 26:52 Does that sound familiar? 26:56 Well, you know, the papacy has done 26:57 this kind of thing for year. 26:58 You know,--years. They want this. 27:00 They want the Sunday closing because that's a day 27:02 that they have-- they have made. 27:04 Just a note here. 27:06 You realize now today this is a Supreme Court. 27:11 Some of you're not listening. 27:12 The Supreme Court-- at least in my knowledge 27:15 now has no Protestants on it. 27:21 Most of them are all Catholics 27:23 and whatever, but no protestant. 27:26 You realize many years ago 27:28 that in order to be a Supreme Court justice-- 27:30 you have to have the majority had to be protestants 27:33 because we protest the Catholicism. 27:36 The enemy is changing things around 27:38 to interpret laws different. 27:43 Now I'm gonna list several things 27:45 that's going to happen to United States of America. 27:47 What? The Bible says that they're going to happen. 27:51 They maybe a little lower your head. 27:52 They maybe say, "Hey, 27:54 I have already see it happening." 27:55 These are the things that you say, 27:56 "Well, it's in the future. 27:58 They're happening right now." 27:59 Number one, United States is going to abandon 28:02 her protestant principles. 28:04 She is already in the process. 28:06 And when she does, God will intervene 28:10 and this also includes religious liberty. 28:14 Already you see-- you say, 28:15 "Well, I don't understand--" 28:17 There are places in the world. 28:18 I want somebody listen now. 28:20 There are places that we have to be very careful. 28:21 What kind of books that you pass out? 28:24 They're called hate crimes. 28:26 You might just be presenting the truth, 28:28 but they say, it's a hate crime 28:29 and you can go to jail for that. 28:32 Freedom of speech. 28:35 Number two, Bible prophecy. 28:37 Many are making an effort to change. 28:39 They're making an effort to add to the constitution. Why? 28:44 So in order to pass certain laws. 28:48 Maybe they're not even aware of, 28:49 but I guarantee you the enemy is aware of it. 28:51 Three, legislators will, legislators have, 28:57 legislators are doing it right today. 29:01 In order to secure your vote, in order to have popularity 29:06 in the world today, they're going to yield 29:09 to popular demand, not necessarily 29:12 what's right and wrong, but popular demand. 29:16 We are in trouble when these legislators, 29:19 our representatives yield to popular demand 29:22 because the world is enmity against God. 29:25 But they want to be-- they want to back in. 29:30 And they're gonna pass and they have been passing laws 29:32 that are contrary to moral principle 29:36 as well as many other things. 29:37 I only name a couple. I know lately we're saying, what? 29:39 Same sex marriages. Interesting. 29:42 Day of worship, abortion. 29:47 We can name a lot of things that we're seeing 29:49 changing against the moral principles of the Bible, 29:53 but yet the people-- the ones we've elected. 29:57 No me, I'm not bowing for that. 30:00 Put them in office and they're passing and these kind of things 30:02 that's why we don't have a choice anymore. 30:05 Four, our constitution. 30:08 We're going to see it and we already have, 30:10 as it we're set aside attitude, interpreted, 30:13 very principle of our protestant and republican government 30:18 is going to be set aside before this world comes to an end. 30:22 Then where is your rights? Where is your freedom? 30:25 Five, Bible that-- it says very clearly 30:30 in Prophecy of the Church and the state 30:33 is going to unite together. 30:35 Some of you fight and fight and fight 30:37 that and it's so obvious how join together 30:40 that we are now and it's even what is increasing. 30:44 Number six, United States will become. 30:48 Listen, because of her decision we'll be humbled to the dust. 30:54 Am I happy to say that? 30:55 Absolutely not. United States is going to be humbled 30:58 and to the dust because, the wonderful great blessings 31:01 that God has be stood about upon this country like no other. 31:04 There is no excuse for us. 31:07 We turned our back on God. 31:09 We forgotten God and because we forgotten God, 31:12 we will be as a nation humble in the dust. 31:17 And are we really ready for that? 31:19 Oh, friend, well you and I can't 31:21 take it 2 hours without electricity. 31:25 We can't live without ice-cubes. 31:26 Somebody stay with me. 31:28 We forgotten God. 31:30 Things are going to change in this country. 31:32 Listen, we have been so blind. 31:35 And why we're so blind and so cloudy by all the stuff 31:38 going on in the world, we say, we see. 31:40 Oh, we understand and we see. 31:44 Because you know, we talk about 31:45 we boasted of being free. 31:48 And why we boasted in this country of being free 31:52 what do we do? 31:53 We were promoting slavery. 31:56 But we say we were free. 31:57 Everyone had equal opportunity. 31:59 This is the land of the free. 32:01 And we were promoting and voting 32:02 and fighting for what? 32:03 Slavery at this time. 32:05 You remember that? 32:08 We boasted of religious tolerance. 32:11 We boasted of religious freedom. 32:16 While at the same time, listen very carefully, 32:19 in our colonies, in the 1,600s, you know what we did? 32:24 We find people almost like for not going to church. 32:28 We took their property away for not going to church 32:31 and we kill some for not going to church. 32:34 That's just put it simple way you study for yourself. 32:36 At the same time we were saying, 32:38 this is the land of the free. 32:39 We just came across the ocean. 32:41 We came here because this is the land of the free 32:43 and we begin to implement laws to restrict the conscience 32:47 of the people to say, you have to go to church. 32:51 How could this be? 32:52 Have you ever thought how could this be? 32:54 I was reading a little book 32:56 called Christianity Through the Centuries, 32:57 page 364 made just a powerful, powerful kind of one liner here. 33:02 Listen, various churches created by the reformation 33:09 were transplanted from England to America. 33:16 Some of you'll get it, some won't. 33:18 The first 150 years, you see, of the colonies what happen? 33:24 The enemy was working in Europe. 33:26 Let's just be honest about it, the beast power, and then what? 33:29 You think the beast. 33:31 You think-- you think the old devil himself 33:32 can't ride a boat and get over here? 33:34 Some of you're not with me. 33:35 You think, you say, "Well, we're going to let always 33:37 millions of people come over here, 33:39 land of the free and I'm just going to stay over here?" No. 33:41 He took a boat and he ride here. 33:44 And so what happen? 33:45 The reformation was wonderful, but what? 33:47 The only enemy, what? 33:48 And the reformation and all some of things 33:50 they were earning out some different truths, 33:52 they came over here and what? 33:53 They setup the same type of thing and the same time 33:57 we call it religious freedom. 33:59 You can't persecute someone and say it's your freedom. 34:04 Bible says Revelation 13 is gonna be a power 34:06 that's going to come up like a lamb and speak as the dragon. 34:12 Let me give you another example. 34:13 Just, you know, we talk about it few years ago. 34:15 In our country, while we were talking 34:18 heavy duty about freedom, again we voted for and we-- 34:24 you know, we fought for slavery. 34:27 Let me just get real specific with this. 34:29 This article was written and I think about 1855, 34:34 in the thick of things. 34:38 But remember, under certain for I read this, 34:39 under certain conditions of the world, 34:42 we have--we become blind to other peoples' 34:45 needs when it affect us. 34:47 Are you still with me? 34:49 If our lives can be made just a little bit easier, 34:53 we don't mind inflicting something on someone else. 34:59 I want you to think about this, too. 35:00 Think about the loss. 35:02 You say no loss of freedom. 35:04 Think about the loss of freedoms that you have endured 35:07 and I have just in the last several years. 35:11 Numerous freedoms have been taken away because of, what? 35:14 Circumstances in the world. 35:16 And, you know, what I'm talking about. 35:18 But you were willing to give them up even though 35:19 it might affect another people, what? 35:21 Make life a little easier for you. 35:22 The devil knows how to operate. 35:24 You maybe in the battle of the north and south 35:27 even in this country. 35:28 We were boasting freedom and then supporting, what? 35:32 Slavery, I talked about it moment ago 35:35 and this quote become so real and even, 35:37 I think you get more to realize we get to the coming of Jesus. 35:43 One Testimony 258, it says, 35:44 "Our government has become very proud and independent. 35:51 The people of this nation have exalted themselves into heaven, 35:56 they've looked down on monarchical governments, 35:59 and they've triumphed in their boasted liberty, 36:02 while the institution of slavery, 36:05 that was a thousand times worse than and a tyranny exercised 36:09 by monarchial governments, 36:12 was suffered to exist and even was, what? Cherished." 36:15 So what's that point here? 36:17 We cherished that we said, land of the free, but yeah, what? 36:20 We promoted slavery. 36:21 What's my point here? 36:23 We say, we see, but we don't see. 36:26 "In this land, a system is cherished 36:30 which allows one portion of the human family 36:34 to enslave another portion, degrading millions 36:37 of human beings to the level of the brute creation." Wow. 36:42 "The equal of this sin is not to be found in heathen lands. 36:48 This nation will be yet be humbled into the dust. 36:53 Had our nation remained united it would have had strength, 36:59 but divided it must fall." 37:02 Oh, we happy with that. 37:04 Do we want to talk about that? 37:05 No, not at all. 37:07 America-- America in Prophecy. 37:10 One moral power. 37:12 One after another would rise up on the stage of action, 37:17 more and after the other would rise 37:18 and then they would-- they would fall. 37:20 Prophecy indicated this was happened, 37:22 so that we can trace it through history. 37:26 One by one each of these nations fulfilled a prophetic destiny. 37:31 Each one did exactly what God intended for it do. 37:36 Did He agree with everything that went on? 37:38 No, but it fulfill the purpose. 37:40 See, God directed in this, you remember? 37:43 Oh, I know you have. 37:44 You've read in Daniel 2:21. 37:47 It talks about this. He said,God directed. 37:49 He said, "He tell us, he changes the times 37:52 and the seasons, he removeth, what? Good. 37:55 Kings and he setteth up kings." 37:58 So we see here that when people are even elected to office. 38:01 Let's just take the president, shall we? 38:03 The President of the United States, 38:04 we bicker, we fight, people get all kind of mess over 38:07 and let's say, my Bible tells me that God sets 38:09 them up and He takes them down. 38:12 Not to get confused about it. 38:14 And well, you got to vote, you got to--listen, 38:17 God sets them up. 38:18 There is the purpose, He knows He's gonna occupy that. 38:20 They're gonna fulfill His purpose even though 38:23 the majority of things they do maybe is not 38:25 what it needed to be done, but they will fulfill 38:27 the purpose that God has in therefore because 38:29 He sets them up and He takes them down. 38:33 Friend, I'm telling you since many world powers 38:36 are mentioned in scripture, we must follow here 38:40 with our thought that all of these world powers, 38:42 there is no power and greater than 38:43 the United States of America and there's a Bible does trace 38:48 the rising and the falling. 38:50 We realize that this great power Revelation 13 38:54 talks about here is that not like, 38:56 no other nation that is ever come upon 38:58 the history of this world, it doesn't 38:59 and even in a different way. 39:02 But it's gonna play such a major role. 39:05 It's gonna play such a major part in the affect 39:08 of the whole world that what United States 39:13 does the other world parts of the world will follow after. 39:18 Bible prophecy reveals these events, 39:21 that reveal the events of the last days and the day 39:25 I just say again United States of America 39:27 has had the greatest blessings on God 39:30 than any place in this world. 39:33 Please, please, keep that in consideration. 39:35 And along with blessings, dear friends, 39:37 if we do not follow through with them, comes to curse. 39:42 Think of the blessings that we have day by day 39:44 that the other countries do not have. 39:47 And God is bestowing them and honest 39:49 if we do not appreciate them and use them, 39:51 they're going to be taken and then 39:53 there's a lessons to be learn. 39:57 And we need to be very careful because 39:58 we are a spoil nation. 40:03 Other countries can get Bible, practically nothing. 40:05 We think we have to have all kind of stuff 40:07 in order to get back. 40:08 We're going to see before it's over. 40:10 The Bible predicts it. Am I happy with it? 40:12 No, I love this country. 40:16 But the Bible predicts something's going to happen. 40:17 We need to be prepared for this happening, blessings of God. 40:23 But we are--listen, we are accountable for our conduct. 40:28 Does that make sense? 40:30 We're accountable for our conduct 40:31 whether it'd be small area or large area. 40:35 We're accountable to God. 40:38 This country was handpicked by God. 40:42 Chosen of God for a special haven of rest 40:48 for the saints of God. 40:50 And look what's taking place. 40:53 Look what's taking place right now before your eyes. 40:59 You see, we think about without a doubt. 41:02 God through this Holy Spirit is speaking, 41:05 speaking to this land of the free. 41:09 What she does and what she will do? 41:11 And let me just say once again. 41:13 What happens in this country will affect the saints of God, 41:17 God's last day people? 41:19 Bless your heart, if you've been taught 41:21 in your local church wherever it might be that you-- 41:24 when the time gets rough you're gonna be wraps it out. 41:26 You have been taught a lie. 41:29 Now I'm not gonna mince words, 41:30 we didn't try to soft-pedal and let give you some. 41:32 So I'm gonna telling you right in, it is the lie of the devil. 41:35 Because he doesn't want you prepare 41:36 what's coming upon this world. 41:38 Certainly Jesus is the answer, 41:40 but there is other things we can be doing to realize 41:42 is to not preparing for anything, 41:44 just go right headlong, we won't be here, you will be. 41:48 This could be around the corner. 41:52 See, in order to get this prophecy 41:54 we need to spend a short time in review, 41:59 a little bit update on some of the material. 42:02 I realize many have been through, 42:04 but we're going to do this as quickly as we can. 42:06 We're going to Daniel 2, Daniel 7 42:08 and leading to Revelation 13 as our second part 42:11 and then in our third part. 42:12 We get into the verses and dissect and, 42:15 but listen carefully. 42:17 We need to understand the beast. 42:19 The first beast of Revelation 13:1-10. 42:22 We can understand this beast here because 42:24 the second beast then begins to, what? 42:26 Wonder after that third-- the first things 42:29 of the first beast instituted. 42:31 They do exactly this first beast which is a papacy. 42:35 So we need to be very careful about that. 42:36 We can just read past the history and say, 42:38 "Oh, is this gonna be fall, 42:40 the United States of the America? 42:41 God help us. It seems impossible. 42:46 Worthwhile to retrace, in order to identify 42:50 this beast power and to identify the United States 42:54 in scripture and in history and using the tools that God 42:58 has given us, so that we need not air, 43:03 with events talking place. 43:04 And I'm talking about right now. 43:07 It is life and death issues. 43:10 Please, think about that. 43:12 Just to know, put down-- and say, no Protestants. 43:17 Beware, Protestants, are you one? 43:21 I can't here you. 43:23 Protestants, beware the new pope. 43:27 And I'm talking about looking what. 43:29 We have to look it, you know, 43:31 Protestant and we have to, and Catholicism. 43:33 But we have to realize that the new Pope is what? 43:37 He's elected there, he is a Jesuit. 43:41 The newly elected Pope is a Jesuit. 43:45 Do you know understand the Jesuit agenda 43:47 is to eliminate Protestants? 43:51 Oh, well, he can't, he's so sweet and nice. 43:53 And we're not trying to pick on the individual here. 43:56 We know the oath that you take when you a Jesuit. 44:00 Things are being set in order Supreme Court, right? 44:04 New Pope, Protestantism. 44:07 We cover some heavy duty things in lesson two and lesson three 44:10 about the Protestant world and how we keep our eye on it. 44:14 Now with that said, we need to think in terms 44:18 of the points that leading into our study. 44:21 Short to the point. 44:22 We need this info. Don't forget. 44:24 There's a lot of information that's going to help us. 44:28 And we've already produce that. 44:30 You remember, you remember in the five part series, 44:31 it call the mystery of the iniquity, 44:34 the antichrist reveal? 44:36 If you have that five part series here, 44:38 this always other really helps that all fit together 44:42 and you go overall event. 44:43 And listen to this and put it together. 44:45 It'll make your mind just swim 44:46 of what's taking place around us right now. 44:49 And most of the world is just loyal to sleep. 44:53 They think they know, they don't know. 44:56 What's going to happen to this good old 44:59 United States of America that God reveals in His word? 45:05 After all He made that promise did he not in Amos 3 verse 7. 45:08 He says what? 45:10 "Surely the Lord God will not do." What? 45:11 Anything, "But he revealeth 45:13 his secret unto the servants the prophets." 45:18 And some of you don't say right, 45:19 well, I have a problem with the prophets. 45:21 Well, you need to get in for the two part series 45:24 we did about prophet of end, too. 45:26 It helped me to understand the importance 45:28 of having direction here in the days of earth' history. 45:32 May I say because every--every wind of the doctrine is blowing? 45:37 My friend, if we are not careful, 45:38 we're gonna be blown off of this platform. 45:42 We need to be in the world like, 45:43 never--before to really study to see whether these things 45:47 be so because what we're talking about, 45:49 we're talking about things that's taking place now, 45:51 but we'll take place in the future. 45:55 When you're talking about things taking place in the future, 45:58 you're talking about prophesying. 46:00 God's word has told us because He want us to be warned, 46:05 so that we're not just-- Oh, devastated. 46:10 But we need a relationship with Jesus Christ 46:12 more than ever before, right? 46:14 We need to be cover by the blood. 46:15 We need to put priorities in our life, 46:17 and well I see priorities in the world today is not God. 46:21 It's everything, but and we've got our nose 46:25 and everything is going on the world 46:26 rather than our nose in the Word of God. 46:28 And I think you follow what I'm thinking here. 46:32 God is so clear. 46:34 Daniel Chapter 2 simply gives us the history of the world 46:38 from Nebuchadnezzar's time. 46:39 I'm not going into lot of stuff, I want you to just think. 46:41 It gives us the history from Nebuchadnezzar's time 46:44 until the coming of Jesus Christ. 46:47 Well, that sets it up really nice, doesn't it? 46:48 When he comes, Daniel 2:44, 45, it says, 46:54 "In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven 46:57 set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed." 47:02 And then it goes on to say, "That God hath made known 47:05 to the king what shall come to pass hereafter, 47:11 and the dream is certain, and the interpretation is sure." 47:15 Well, friend, today, here it is. 47:17 The Bible is sure. 47:18 The interpretation is sure. 47:20 It's clear, but as maybe not what you want to, 47:23 it's not what you thinks gonna happen in this country, 47:25 but God says that it is and again 47:27 it becomes clear as we study. 47:30 See, when Daniel revealed this dream 47:33 in every detail to Nebuchadnezzar. 47:36 You know what happened? 47:38 Holy Spirit impressed Nebuchadnezzar 47:39 and he accepted it as a divine revelation. 47:43 I'm asking you today, oh my brothers and my sisters, 47:47 will you accept it as a divine revelation 47:50 of what you're hearing today and what you are studying? 47:52 When the Holy Spirit will opens your eyes and your eyes, 47:55 how will you respond? 47:58 Will it be like Nebuchadnezzar, the heathen king. 48:01 As he heard this, right? 48:02 It's not what he wanted to hear because his kingdom 48:04 was coming down and his place would be another kingdom, 48:07 but he prays God for it. 48:11 The image that Nebuchadnezzar saw, 48:14 represented what? Come on, good. 48:16 The kingdoms of this world, but notice, 48:18 as they deteriorated in power and in glory 48:23 in religion and in morality. 48:27 Remember as a people, as a nation, as we forget God. 48:33 If we ask Him to leave, if we vote Him out, 48:37 if we throw Him out, if we say, we don't want Him. 48:43 Weakness will be the results. 48:46 Mentally, physically, spiritually, financially. 48:49 Well, we're looking right now 48:51 the ultimate collapse financially 48:54 People say, "Oh, job increase a little bit here 48:57 and less people's drawing, you know, unemployment. 48:59 Oh, don't fool yourself. 49:01 God's getting, He has given us time 49:02 to get this message out to the world. 49:04 Friends, you need to be helping us 49:05 to get this message out to warn the world. 49:08 We're gonna be held accountable because 49:10 we're spending our money and doing your 49:12 --foolishness of the world, 49:13 rather than talking to God's people. 49:15 And people around the world need to hear the truth 49:17 and they don't need all this rosy colored stuff, 49:19 they need to hear it that Jesus is coming. 49:22 We have the Image of the Beast. 49:23 We have the Mark of the Beast. 49:25 We have the Three Angels' Message 49:26 and it needs to go out and to warn the world 49:27 and quick warn about all these 49:29 little flowery stuff that's going on. 49:30 It's life and death issues. 49:35 Again, tracing the nations, 49:38 regardless of how they started up. 49:43 Regardless of how they grew, eventually they became worst. 49:47 Did you notice that? 49:49 And worst and worst until they were either destroyed, right? 49:52 Another power came and destroyed them. 49:54 They destroyed their self even, you know, internally, 49:57 they were replaced. 49:59 Let me go with this again. 50:01 Some of you don't-- you didn't get this. 50:03 Food for thought. 50:05 Really, put your thinking cap on. 50:08 As we go down from Babylon right on down, 50:11 it gets worst. Why? 50:13 Because we get farther and farther away from God. 50:16 We're losing God's blessing day by day. 50:19 We deteriorated, the nations deteriorated, 50:21 we're deteriorating because we've cast off 50:24 our allegiance to God. 50:26 We've chosen some kind of a strange God. 50:31 Friends, quickly, Babylon, what happen? 50:37 In her prosperity she forgot God. 50:42 Medo-Persia. God's laws were forsaken. 50:47 God was forsaken. 50:49 Wickedness and corruption was ramped. 50:53 The next power coming on the scene was--was Greece. 50:58 She was thinking lower and lower. 51:00 No law, no place for God, no place for truth, 51:03 no place for righteousness, 51:05 idol worship in the place of God. 51:09 The name God, king of the universe, 51:12 very seldom ever heard. 51:13 And then the next power was Pagan Rome. 51:16 Almost all traces of right doing. 51:19 Christianity almost wiped out and then people Rome. 51:25 Well, you realize out of the ten toes, 51:27 ten this, what? 51:28 The little horn power, the papacy developed. 51:32 You have the feet. 51:34 You remember the toes of feet of iron 51:36 and clay representing what? 51:37 Church and state coming together. 51:40 Oh, denied by many, I'm sure, 51:42 but in a weakening state, iron and clay mix together. Why? 51:46 We're talking about what? 51:48 The church became weakened because the civil power 51:50 was on a passing laws and backing up. 51:53 The church coming together, they say, we want this done, 51:56 civil laws just come and pass them. 52:00 History is going to be repeated. 52:04 Always proven in history. 52:07 When the church goes 52:08 to the government, listen carefully. 52:09 When the church goes to the government investing 52:13 her power with the state, results will always be evil. 52:19 And the majority will always persecute 52:21 the minority every time. 52:24 It's always has been in history, it's not going to change. 52:27 And may I see this about the government. 52:28 The government is not always-- 52:30 they don't have to make the first move. 52:34 The churches-- the Protestants churches 52:37 are going to the government to have laws pass. 52:40 Think about it. 52:42 To be try to make laws to regulate morality. 52:45 Well, if it does not working over it, 52:47 let's pass the more laws, let's pass the more laws. 52:49 The church is going to the state. 52:51 We've got problems here. 52:55 You cannot, you cannot legislate morality. 53:00 You cannot pass laws and everything is. 53:03 Listen, it's gone so far even in this country. 53:06 You say, "Well, it's not really the moral issue. 53:08 The government's passing laws, 53:10 at least trying to pass laws on what you--on what you eat 53:14 and what you drink and how much you can do it at time, 53:17 what you wear and life itself. 53:20 They are involved in every aspect of life. 53:24 Not necessarily because they want to because 53:26 we supposedly Christian people 53:28 are going to the government saying, 53:29 "This is what's best for us." Wow. 53:35 Man, you're talking about, you know, 53:37 we're talking about revival reformation, 53:38 it begins in the heart. 53:41 You can't convince somebody, 53:42 you can't pass the law and convince them and say, 53:44 "My mother said this years ago, said, a man convinced. 53:47 That's against his will, is at the same opinions deal. 53:52 But let me tell you, United States of America, 53:54 few minutes left, listen carefully. 53:55 United States of America is going to destroy 53:58 herself from within. 54:01 Not gonna take somebody else in the world, 54:02 but within and we're destroying 54:04 our self within our self right now. 54:07 The churches are going right now and they're asking for funds 54:10 to run private school 54:12 and Christian schools and colleges. 54:14 Is this not somehow? 54:16 Church and state united together 54:18 and we take their money and say, No we're not." 54:23 Of course, there's many other ways. 54:25 We hear about blue laws 54:27 and we hear about Sunday closings. 54:28 And some Christians believe that we should ask 54:30 the government to close businesses 54:32 and car dealerships which they are. 54:34 No shopping-- no sports on Sunday. 54:37 You know why they say. 54:38 Because we need a day of rest, just like the papacy said. 54:43 They want their day Sunday, instituted up there 54:45 and whole world to follow after. 54:46 I hope somebody's with me. 54:50 They think--they talk about the government. 54:51 Government, please. 54:53 Legislate laws to make the people better 54:55 and they'll be better if we pass the Sunday law 54:58 where we can all go to church. 55:01 Listen, our moral issues, the government needs 55:03 to stay out of church business. 55:05 Did you get it? 55:07 And the time they seem to walk to, 55:09 but the Christian people, what? 55:11 Ask them back in. 55:13 They pressure them. 55:14 They pressure the elected officials. 55:16 Again, quickly you're talking about moral issue 55:19 here about abortion. 55:20 It's a church issue, right? 55:22 It's a moral issue, not a government issue. 55:25 Even though it's a good, you know, 55:26 millions life, you know, have been saying about that. 55:29 Friend, you see there's a lot 55:30 of material that need to be covered. 55:32 I need to pray with you here. 55:33 Don't forget, you want this message to go. 55:35 You need--please, help us to get it out. 55:37 Books by the hundreds and thousands need to go out. 55:40 People asking for them, we need your prayer, 55:42 we need your support. 55:43 I think it's time you rise to the occasion. 55:45 Let's pray together, shall we? 55:46 As we close. 55:48 Merciful Father in Heaven, we thank you 55:49 for Your precious word. 55:50 Today we thank you for illuminating 55:52 these beautiful truths to bless your people. 55:53 We pray, help us, we want to respond 55:55 to work together to finish this work, 55:56 so that we can go home in Jesus name we pray 55:58 and for His sake. Amen. 56:02 Friend, don't forget to pray for us 56:03 here at "Behold the Lamb Ministries." 56:05 We realized when messages go forward like this, 56:07 the devil is not happy. 56:09 He's gonna try to impress other people. 56:10 You don't try to get-- maybe even, 56:12 you know, program because we don't want to air this, 56:13 we don't want-- Oh, friend, just pray. 56:15 These programs need to go. 56:16 We love you.
