Shall we? 01:22 "And the third angel followed them, 01:23 saying with a loud voice, 01:25 if any man worship the beast and his image, 01:28 and receive his mark in his forehead 01:31 or in his hand, 01:33 the same shall drink the wine of the wrath of God, 01:36 which is poured out without mixture 01:39 into the cup of his indignation. 01:42 And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone 01:45 in the presence of the holy angels, 01:48 and in the presence of the Lamb, 01:50 and the smoke their torment ascendeth up 01:52 for ever and ever, 01:54 and they shall have no rest day nor night, 01:57 who worship the beast and his image, 02:00 and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name..." 02:04 Here is the patience of this saints, 02:06 this is good news. 02:07 This is identifying marks of God's last-day people. 02:11 "Here is the patience of the saints, 02:13 here are they that keep the commandments of God, 02:17 and have the faith of Jesus." 02:19 Brothers and Sisters, 02:21 as you follow along with us today, 02:22 as I'm sure you've felt 02:25 and sensed in the first part of this series, 02:27 this is the solemn message. 02:30 This is an important message for the day 02:32 in which we are living right now. 02:35 This is a message that everyone needs to hear. 02:38 But before we hear from Pastor Kenny, 02:40 we're going to go to the 3ABN Worship Center 02:43 and we're going to listen to Jennifer LaMountain 02:46 and she sings "He is able." 03:10 He is able 03:15 More than able 03:20 To accomplish 03:22 What concerns me today 03:28 He is able 03:30 More than able 03:35 To handle anything that comes my way 03:42 He is able 03:44 More than able 03:49 To do much more than I could ever dream 03:56 He is able 03:59 More than able 04:04 To make me what He wants me to be 04:11 He is able 04:14 More than able 04:19 To accomplish what concerns me today 04:26 He is able 04:28 More than able 04:33 To handle anything 04:36 That comes my way 04:40 He is able 04:42 More than able 04:48 To do much more 04:50 Than I could ever dream 04:55 He is able 04:58 More than able 05:03 To make me what He wants me 05:07 To be 05:11 And when I think of all his wisdom 05:15 and the scope of his blood 05:18 I could only fall down on my knees 05:22 And realize once again 05:27 That He is able 05:32 More than able 05:37 To do much more 05:39 Than I could ever dream 05:46 He is able 05:50 More than able 05:56 To make me what He wants me 06:01 To be 06:20 Thanks for joining us once again 06:21 here at Behold the Lamb. 06:23 We're going to be doing the second part 06:24 of The Third Angel's message. 06:26 You won't want to miss it, get your bible, get a pencil, 06:28 get a paper, write these things down. 06:30 We will go quickly as we can. 06:33 I guess you could say when you look at the messages, 06:36 I do have a regret 06:37 because this should be four, five, six, 06:39 eight parts to be honest. 06:40 There is so much to this message 06:42 that we pray that it will be enough 06:44 that, you'll be excited about it. 06:45 You'll want to get in 06:46 and do some studying on your own, 06:48 this is very, very important. 06:50 So we're glad you joined us, and we thank God for you. 06:52 Right now, I invite you to pray with me. 06:55 I'm going to kneel here and pray 06:57 and those of you at home, 06:58 you can kneel and pray along with me. 06:59 Some of you are not, maybe listening to it, 07:01 you can just pray along as you drive your car, 07:03 whatever it might be, but we need prayer. 07:05 Let's pray together. 07:07 Loving Father in heaven, 07:09 we thank You for Your love and Your mercy. 07:10 We invite thy Holy Spirit and presence 07:13 to be with us as we study your Word. 07:15 We just pray 07:16 that You illuminate these beautiful truths 07:18 that we may understand the hour in which we live. 07:20 Jesus is coming, probation is closing, 07:22 decisions must be made. 07:24 Lord, we need You. 07:25 And we just again invite thy Spirit 07:27 to take possession of each one. 07:28 Thank you for those of you, those who're listening, 07:30 in Jesus' name, amen. 07:35 Again we're talking about the third angel's message. 07:38 And I know it's very difficult 07:39 when you've missed the first part. 07:41 So I always like to go back and just cover some highlights. 07:44 And I jotted down six, eight, whatever, points 07:49 that we covered on the first lesson, 07:51 that's very, very important. 07:52 That way if you've missed it, 07:53 you'll be able to kind of fill in some gaps a little bit 07:56 as we hurry along to get into the second part. 07:59 This is what we covered on the first part 08:01 of the third angel's message. 08:03 We covered the importance of this message increases 08:07 as we near the end of earth's history. 08:10 The message does what? 08:11 It increases as we near the end of earth's history. 08:14 And I think all of us believe 08:16 we're nearing the end of earth's history. 08:18 Second part we discussed, 08:20 the third angel's message are given. 08:22 Why? 08:23 I've heard people say, 08:24 "Why are the three angels message given?" 08:26 Why? 08:27 Because the messages, the teachings, 08:29 the doctrines of most churches have become corrupt. 08:33 And God is going to challenge 08:34 and test His people with a specific message. 08:38 Three, God's work will be finished 08:40 under the third angel's message. 08:43 God's work will be what? 08:44 Finished under the third angel's message. 08:47 Again what message are we under right now? 08:50 We're under the third angel's message, 08:52 so you have to realize we're nearing the end of time. 08:55 If you're talking in Revelation, 08:57 there are seven churches 08:58 and we're in the seventh church. 09:00 How many more churches are there? 09:01 This is it, 09:02 so we need to really look and say 09:04 we are at the end of time. 09:07 We realize under the third angel 09:09 that Christ mediation ceases, 09:12 the Holy Spirit is withdrawn from this earth, 09:15 and the devil hits us with everything that he has. 09:19 Think about it, that causes what? 09:21 "A time of trouble that we've never seen." 09:23 Daniel 12:1. 09:26 We also realize and discussed last time 09:29 our minds are going to be directed 09:31 because of the three angels message, 09:33 our minds are going to be directed 09:35 into the heavenly sanctuary. 09:37 And there, we're going to be reminded 09:38 that we're in the judgment hour, 09:40 we're going to be reminded 09:41 about keeping the Seventh-day Sabbath. 09:44 We're going to go back to the very beginning, 09:46 and then realize that Christ is in the most holy place, 09:50 and He's making an atonement for our sins. 09:53 Our names will come up in the judgment. 09:56 Sixth, Sabbath reform. 09:59 We talked a little bit about that last lesson. 10:01 Sabbath reform is to be carried forward. 10:04 And the God's last day people, who ever they might be, 10:08 are going to be purified by obeying the truth. 10:13 You're purified by doing what? 10:15 Obeying the truth. 10:17 I mentioned that I have, 10:19 usually when you go over and do these lessons 10:20 you have regrets in this sense 10:23 that there is not enough time 10:24 to cover these most important topics, 10:27 things that we won't be able to go over, 10:29 we might touch just a hair this time, 10:31 but we won't be able to go over them. 10:34 The third angel's message, people say, 10:35 "What is a third angel's message?" 10:37 Well, it's big, it's wide, it covers a lot of areas. 10:41 But if we look at it, 10:42 it's justification by faith in verity, 10:45 that's the third angel's message 10:47 and realizing it covers a whole lot more. 10:49 Last message of mercy given to this world, 10:52 we won't be able to go in, and think about it, 10:54 God is giving a last-day message of what? 10:58 Mercy, undeserving as we are to this world. 11:02 We realize under the third angel's message 11:05 that health reform is a very important part 11:09 or called the right arm. 11:10 So that would be brought up, 11:12 God wants us to be certainly healthy people. 11:14 We'll realize under the third angel's message 11:16 that the first angel's message will be given, 11:18 the second angel's message will given, 11:20 along with the third. 11:22 And the third angel's message 11:24 calls attention to all ten of God's commandments. 11:30 Remember, God's wanting to wake us up, 11:32 God's wanting to get us in the, 11:33 you know, the right frame of mind 11:35 that we might understand the messages of the hour. 11:39 Remember the third angel's message, 11:41 every person on the face of the earth 11:44 will be tested by this message of the three angels. 11:48 This is the test message of the hour 11:51 just like at the time of the flood, 11:53 what was the test? 11:54 The rain's going to come, 11:56 there is going to be a flood coming. 11:57 That was testing to the whole world, wasn't it? 12:01 God has given a message, remember, why? 12:03 Because the world has become confused, 12:05 the world has become drunken with the wine of the wrath. 12:09 The false doctrines and teachings 12:10 that are out there today, 12:12 everyone is confused, everyone says we are what? 12:15 We are Christians, 12:16 but yet God said, "Okay, let's prove it." 12:18 Here's a message I'm going to give to you. 12:20 I'll make it very plain, right to the point, 12:23 and you're going to have to choose 12:24 whom you're going to serve. 12:25 You see these are things 12:27 that we need to have time to talk more about. 12:29 We have to realize under the third angel's, 12:31 I'm just mentioning these here quickly, 12:33 under the third angel's, 12:34 we've realized that the latter rain will fall 12:38 during the third angel's message. 12:40 What angels are we under right now? 12:42 The third angel's message, 12:43 it's time for the latter rain to fall. 12:46 No one will make it to heaven 12:48 or go through the time of trouble 12:50 unless they've receive what? 12:51 The latter rain experience. 12:53 Lord have mercy, 12:55 we need to understand what that means. 12:56 We need to understand 12:58 how that it can be accomplished. 12:59 How that God can bestow that on us as His people. 13:02 It's not just given because you pray about it, 13:05 it's given because you do something about it. 13:07 I Hope you're still with me. 13:08 The highest and greatest work 13:10 that can be done and given to us 13:12 as mortals is to give the third angel's message. 13:15 There is no higher work on this planet 13:18 than giving the third angel's message. 13:21 We've realize under the third angel's message, 13:23 persecution comes to God's people. 13:26 Nothing you want to talk about, 13:28 nothing you really want to go into, 13:30 but these are things we understand 13:31 that God's last-day true people will suffer persecution. 13:36 The Bible said all that live godly in Christ 13:38 Jesus shall what? 13:39 Suffer persecution. 13:41 We'd realize under the third angel 13:43 that probation ceases. 13:46 Somebody listen, we're under the third angel. 13:48 Are we still there? That means probation ceases. 13:51 That means not another person will ever come to Jesus Christ. 13:55 You have brothers and sisters, 13:56 and aunts and uncles, and mommies and daddies, 13:57 and children 13:59 that are just not in the ark right now. 14:00 They're just not even trying, they just don't seem to care. 14:04 And you know what something is going to happen, 14:05 probation is going to close. 14:07 And we'd realized 14:09 that under the third angel's message, 14:11 we realize there is a warning 14:13 that must be given about the mark of the beast. 14:16 We must realize that, 14:17 that the warning against the beast 14:18 and the image and receiving that mark. 14:20 That is the mark of the enemy, we realize that, 14:24 opposite the seal of God. 14:25 There are literally, listen carefully, 14:28 there are literally dozens, and dozens, 14:30 and dozens more points 14:32 under the third angel's message. 14:33 Those were just a few. 14:35 And I feel very badly 14:37 that we won't have time to go in 14:38 and cover each one 14:39 because it's going to affect your life, 14:42 and it's going to affect my life, 14:43 and it's going to affect the world. 14:47 We left off talking about, last time, 14:49 about our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 14:53 How excited I got to think about, 14:55 by the grace of God forgiveness of sin, 14:57 my name can be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 15:00 And my name stays there, your name stays there 15:03 in the Book of Life 15:05 until the time of the investigative judgment. 15:08 Most people have never studied that, 15:10 they don't study it in most churches. 15:12 My brothers and my sisters, read Daniel 7, 15:16 where you see God comes and thousands times 15:18 ten thousands of thousands gather around, 15:21 and the Bible said, and the books are open. 15:24 This is the judgment, the investigative judgment, 15:27 it's going on, 15:28 and so every name is going to pass in review. 15:33 And remember, 15:34 there's no mistakes that's going to be made. 15:36 Are you still with me? 15:38 There are no mistakes that will be made. 15:40 Thank you. 15:41 Because the Bible said Revelation 3:1, 15:44 remember you jot them down 15:45 'cause I can't just read every one of them here. 15:47 Revelation 3:1, the Bible said, "Jesus said I know thy works." 15:51 Jesus says I know you better than you know yourself. 15:54 I know everything about you. I know your thoughts afar off. 15:58 And so He is the one, certainly says that, 16:00 "I know thy works." 16:01 Romans 2:6, Paul puts it this way. 16:05 He says he's going to render to every man 16:07 according to his deeds, the deeds. 16:11 Think according to your deeds this week, 16:13 where would you spend eternity 16:15 according to your deeds this week? 16:16 Are you there, Church? 16:18 Where would you spend eternity according to your deeds? 16:20 Would it be in heaven or would it be in hell? 16:21 Think about it. 16:23 That's our choices, that's what it's going to be. 16:25 Remember in this third angel's message, 16:28 if all of our sins doesn't go before hand into the judgment 16:32 and are blotted out, 16:34 those very sins will come back to judge us 16:37 in the very end. 16:38 Think about that how important it needs to be. 16:41 In other words, our sins need to be blotted out. 16:44 You remember that, 16:46 we talked a little bit about that last week, 16:47 the blotting out. 16:48 Jesus, God says, 16:50 "That I am the one that blots out the sins." 16:53 You member reading that Isaiah 43:25, 16:57 Jesus said, 16:58 "I am He that blotted out thy transgression." 17:02 Praise God. 17:04 You see we have somebody that cares about us that says, 17:06 "The time comes, 17:07 I not only forgive, not only cover, 17:09 but the time will come 17:11 when those sins will be blotted out." 17:13 That means they're gone forever, 17:15 they're gone forever, 17:16 they're covered up, they're gone, 17:18 they're blotted out. 17:19 That's why He says He cast it to the east 17:21 as far as it is to the west. 17:22 Praise God for that. 17:23 So God, you know... 17:25 And we realize that, even look at another passage 17:27 when you have the opportunity in Psalms 69:28, 17:32 It talks about blotting out the names. 17:35 And remember, the righteous names 17:37 will not be blotted out. 17:38 They're going to be preserved in that Lamb's Book of Life. 17:42 Oh, remember. 17:43 Revelation 20:15, the Bible says, 17:46 we're talking of the third angel, 17:47 it said, now notice this, is it important to maintain 17:51 our name in the Lamb's Book of Life? 17:53 It is, right? 17:56 We have to be confessing our sins, right? 17:58 We have to be living for Jesus. 18:00 The Bible says this, Revelation 20:15, 18:03 "And whosoever was not found written 18:06 in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." 18:10 People don't want to talk about that. 18:12 If your name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life, 18:14 you will be cast into the lake of fire. 18:17 And there's people who act like 18:18 they're going to a marshmallow roast, 18:21 it's not going to be any big deal. 18:22 Somebody needs to wake up 18:24 because we realize here this is heaven or hell, 18:27 we're talking about a burning hot hell. 18:29 People say about Adventists, 18:31 "Well, you don't even believe in hell fire." 18:33 We believe in a hotter hell fire 18:34 than almost any denomination 18:36 there is on the face of this planet 18:37 because most people teach 18:39 that a hell fire just burns on, and on, people 18:41 just, you know, agonize and carry on for eternity. 18:44 You know, my Bible and I read it, 18:45 it says, the Bible, 18:47 "But the righteous shall tread upon the ashes of the wicked." 18:50 We realize there hot hell, 18:51 that the whole world was caught on fire, 18:53 it's purified and made ready for Jesus' coming. 18:57 Friend, what a lot 18:58 that we need to be studying about? 19:00 What a lot we need to understand 19:01 and to know about these truths God had 'cause I believe. 19:06 You say, "Well, He's a little excited about it." 19:07 I believe why? 19:09 Because it's a life and death situation, 19:10 if I see somebody messing, with a little son over here, 19:12 and they might get hurt you, you still make a warning. 19:15 If I see somebody messing with something 19:16 that they could die over, 19:18 I'm going to get a little bit loud about it. 19:19 I'm going to make sure they hear, 19:21 I want to make sure 19:22 that they make an intelligent decision. 19:24 So we must make sure, 19:26 under the third angel's message, 19:28 even in the New Testament, in Acts 3:19, 19:32 the Bible talks about 19:33 that your sins may be blotted out. 19:37 Your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing, 19:39 you remember that? 19:41 See, your sins be what? 19:42 Blotted out, make sure they're blotted out. 19:45 Remember, "When we confess our sins," 19:47 Roger, what do you do? 19:48 "Our sins are covered by the blood." 19:50 They're put into, you know, we talk about in the sanctuary, 19:52 and there until the investigative judgment, 19:54 and then it's gone over, 19:56 and then that's the time that they're blotted out 19:59 or they remain and they come back to judge you 20:01 in the very, very end. 20:03 I want to make sure by the grace of God 20:05 that my sins are blotted out. 20:07 See God had said this, 20:09 sometime we forget that about the Bible 20:11 and the importance of the Bible. 20:14 In Acts 3:21, 20:17 it said, notice this, it talks about the word of God, 20:20 "For God has spoken by the mouth 20:22 of His holy prophets since the world began." 20:26 Since the world began God has spoken by what? 20:29 The mouth of the holy prophets. 20:32 So there it's not man that speaks, 20:34 but it's the Holy Spirit that speaks through man, 20:37 so it must be the truth. 20:40 And it's only can be, tell the truth one way. 20:43 We must not let anything divert 20:47 our minds from giving of the three angels message. 20:51 Now isn't that interesting? You can say that all day long. 20:53 And I tell you what, the most of time, 20:55 in most churches you never hear a message 20:57 about the three angels message. 20:59 You never hear about the mark of the beast. 21:01 You talk about a little bit about the seal of God. 21:03 You don't talk about the papacy. 21:05 You don't talk about the change of the Sabbath. 21:06 We don't talk about all that the errors or things 21:08 that we should be pointing out. 21:09 We're just, we talk about everything but that. 21:12 Nothing should occupy our mind 21:14 but the giving 21:15 of the third angel's message, why? 21:17 Because it is the testing truth of this age. 21:21 Think about it. 21:23 God has allowed us, 21:24 given us information through the Holy Spirit 21:26 that we can even know 21:28 what the testing truths are and the answers. 21:31 You don't even get that at school. 21:33 You get the quiz, all right, 21:35 you have to look in the book or maybe try to find out 21:37 what the answers are. 21:38 God gives you the answer. 21:39 He tells you here's going to be your test, 21:41 here's the answers to it, and you can pass it. 21:43 If you don't pass it, 21:45 He said that you're going to be cast in the lake of fire. 21:46 Somebody needs to listen up. This is what it's all about. 21:51 We must not let anything, 21:52 9 Testimonies 19 says this, 21:57 "The proclamation of the first, second, 22:00 and third angel's message, 22:02 there is no other work of so great importance. 22:06 They are to allow nothing else to absorb their attention." 22:10 How many of us, our tension is absorbed on everything 22:14 but warning the world about the mark of the beast. 22:17 I'm not saying it's Sunday observance, 22:19 place of the Sabbath. 22:21 How many of us doing that? 22:22 Or that we're in the judgment hour, 22:23 that there's a Sabbath of seventh-day 22:25 that God is calling His people back to. 22:27 And the one who changed it, who supposedly changed it, 22:30 he would think to change times and laws, 22:33 we're not talking about that 22:34 because the world gets upset about it. 22:38 Don't you know the world got upset 22:39 when Jesus walked on this earth? 22:42 They got upset about Jesus. 22:43 They got upset about His teaching 22:45 because they were different than most folks. 22:48 The reading goes on, 22:50 "Allow nothing to absorb their attention, 22:52 the most solemn truths 22:53 ever entrusted to mortals have been given to us 22:57 to proclaim to the world. 22:59 The proclamation of these truths 23:01 is to be our work." 23:03 So if I ask you what is to be our work, 23:05 my Brothers and Sisters, what is our work? 23:09 Our work is to, 23:10 you say we're still alive, we're baffled. 23:11 Well, I just don't know what it is. 23:13 Well, I just don't know what it is. 23:16 Man, somebody needs to know what it is. 23:18 It's for giving of the three angels message 23:20 because they're the testing truths of this age. 23:23 Doesn't matter what somebody says, 23:25 God has said, God has said these are the testing truths. 23:29 This is what I'm going to test the world on 23:31 because most people are saying, 23:32 "I believe, I believe in Jesus." 23:34 We go to church, we obey. 23:36 He said here's a message then, 23:39 here's the message. 23:42 And Jesus simply said, "If you love Me, keep them." 23:44 I mean, it's real simple. 23:46 This is our work and if we are not doing it, 23:49 then you have not accepted, 23:50 and I have not accepted my work of giving this message out. 23:55 And we're talking about protesting. 23:57 We're protesting air in any form or fashion, 24:00 regardless if it's inside the church 24:02 or outside the church. 24:04 Air is air and we must protest air based upon God's Word. 24:09 I hope we get that through our heads. 24:11 I've got to get it through mine, why? 24:13 Because in Matthew 5:14, 24:15 Jesus looks at you and He looks at me, 24:17 He says, "You are the light of the world." 24:21 Think about it. You are the light of the world. 24:24 "Ye are the light of..." 24:25 Are we really the light of the world? 24:28 Think about it. 24:29 Are we really the light of the world? 24:30 Here's a problem, I see a problem. 24:34 You say what possibly could you be? 24:36 You are the light of the world. 24:38 I mean that's pretty heavy duty, 24:40 That's a lot of responsibility. 24:41 You are the light of the world. 24:44 I'm going to mention here about the light of the world 24:46 is a problem. 24:48 A cheap Christian character, think about it, 24:52 I'm talking about a cheap Christian character 24:55 does more harm in the world than a whirling. 25:00 Somebody didn't get that. 25:02 A cheap, did you get it? 25:04 A cheap Christian character does more harm than a whirling, 25:09 than an atheist, than an infidel. 25:12 Think about it. 25:13 Because it's said lukewarmness that leads other people astray. 25:16 Well, Ed did it or Jim did it 25:18 or Kenny did it or... 25:23 That's something to think about. 25:26 And the problem is, you say, 25:27 "Well I go, 25:29 I belong to a denomination that teaches truth. 25:32 I belong to a church that teaches truth." 25:35 That may be, that may be, but I'm telling you, 25:38 "Too often, too often it's counteracted 25:42 by the lives of the people in the congregation." 25:45 Somebody needs to listen up. 25:48 You can preach the truth, 25:49 you can teach it all you want in the church. 25:51 But then we find what? 25:52 The people's life, maybe our life contradicts 25:56 what we've been listening to. 25:58 How sad that is because, number one, 26:00 you're accountable and I'm accountable 26:02 because I've heard it, and I understand it, 26:05 and I'm embracing it. 26:07 Here's a powerful passage of Scripture, 26:10 1 John 3:6, 26:11 should be familiar to most of us, 26:13 but to me this is powerful. 26:14 And under the third angel's message, 26:16 remember, God's people are purified 26:19 by obedience to the truth, 26:22 to live a holy life, acceptable. 26:25 He said I'm coming back after a church without spot, 26:27 or wrinkle, or any such thing. 26:31 But here's, just mind boggles... 26:33 Now listen, you either accept it 26:35 or you get a little bit agitated, 26:36 so I'm going to put you in one class 26:38 or the other and me in one class or the other. 26:40 If I get agitated by this passage of scripture, 26:43 I have a problem. 26:46 Is that clear enough? 26:48 If I get agitated by, 26:49 when I read this, I've got a problem. 26:52 If not, I look at it and say, "Whoa! Wow. 26:54 Lord, I need some help," that might be the best answer. 26:57 It simply says, 1 John 3:6, "Whosoever," anybody, 27:02 "Abideth in Him sinneth not:" Man, that's heavy. 27:08 Whoever abides in Christ does what? 27:10 Sinneth not. 27:12 Now how many of us are going to make excuses and say, 27:14 "Well, that's not possible," then you've got an issue. 27:18 You've got an issue. I may have an issue with it. 27:20 I'm not going to fight this right here. 27:21 I'm simply saying, 27:23 "Ooh, Lord, evidently I said this or did that, 27:25 so I wasn't abiding in You at the time. 27:27 And I need to abide in you. 27:29 And so please help me to gain this victory." 27:31 See, there's hope for you 27:33 and there's hope for me if we do that. 27:34 But rather than say, "I know what it says, 27:36 but that's not possible." 27:38 You're missing the truth. You're calling God a liar. 27:42 9 Testimonies 22, talking about this verse, 27:46 "The life that Christ lived in this world, 27:49 men and women can live." 27:51 I want somebody, 27:52 may be I ought to get a chair and just sit down. 27:56 I'm not doing any good up here. 28:00 The Bible just said, 28:03 "Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not." 28:08 Then we go to the Spirit of Prophecy, 28:09 identifying mark of God's last-day church. 28:13 Notice, 28:14 "The life that Christ lived in this world, 28:16 men and women can live." 28:18 You can't do it on your own, I can't do it on my own. 28:21 I'm a failure. I'm already a sinner. 28:22 I'm already doomed to hell without Jesus. 28:25 Is somebody with me? Put it on the line. 28:29 Through His power and under His instruction, 28:33 in the conflict with Satan, they may have all the help 28:36 that He had, in our conflict with who? 28:40 The Satan, we can have all the help that Jesus had. 28:46 And He was more than a conqueror, 28:48 was He not? 28:49 He gained the victory. 28:51 It says, "They may be 28:52 more than conquerors through Him 28:55 who loved them and gave Himself for them." 28:59 Jesus loved us and He gave His life for us. 29:02 He came and He set the example. 29:03 He went through a horrible, 29:05 horrible existence on this earth. 29:08 Dejected of men, 29:10 but He did it because He has seen Brother Mark, 29:12 He did it because he has seen Sister Mary. 29:14 He said, "Mary, you don't have a chance." 29:16 Kenny, you don't have a chance without Jesus, "Without Me." 29:19 And so He loved us enough, He came to provide us, 29:22 Brother Mark says second chance. 29:24 Praise God for that. 29:25 Bible says 1 John 5:18, 29:28 "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not," 29:31 who's ever born of God does what? 29:33 That's what the Bible says, so we have to figure out 29:36 if we are living in the world or habitually continue go 29:38 but sin, sin, sin, that we've got issues 29:41 that we need to take to Him and gain some victories. 29:44 "But he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, 29:48 and that wicked one toucheth Him not." 29:53 We're living the life by the grace of God, 29:55 the best we understand and know. 29:59 Our sins are confessed up, 30:00 every moment the conscious of our mind, 30:03 "Lord, please forgive me." 30:04 Every night you finish it that way, 30:05 every day you start. 30:07 During the day time you lose your patience, 30:09 you say something you shouldn't, 30:10 you think something you shouldn't... 30:12 Immediately take it to God in prayer, 30:14 and ask for forgiveness and to be covered by the blood. 30:17 And I guarantee you this, 30:18 the enemy cannot touch you because the Bible said so. 30:21 Oh, he's going to put up a smoke screen, 30:23 he's going to make you think he's on your case. 30:25 But he can't do a thing about it, 30:26 you just keep walking by faith. 30:28 9 Testimonies 23, notice, 30:32 "In order to be saved," 30:33 oh, like that, that's challenging. 30:34 "In order to be saved, 30:36 we must have a new heart and a new spirit." 30:39 Think about it. 30:40 We need a new heart and a new spirit. 30:42 Notice this, those who blame, 30:44 "I was born this way. 30:45 I was born on this side of the tracks. 30:48 I was born in this way, and this is what my daddy did, 30:50 Mama did, this is why I am who I am." 30:52 We need to get over that business, right? 30:53 The old things become new. 30:55 Notice, "The old, hereditary traits of character 30:59 must be overcome. 31:00 The natural desire of the soul must be changed." 31:05 See the natural desire, 31:06 natural for me is the opposite 31:10 from Christ, are you there? 31:12 My natural tendencies are opposite of Jesus Christ. 31:17 That's why I don't want the natural, 31:19 you see, I want the spiritual, 31:21 and those they must be changed. 31:23 Here's where it gets down to nitty-gritty, 31:25 the Bible said, "All," notice this, 31:28 ooh, "All deceptions," somebody stay with me. 31:33 There's a lot of deceptive people 31:35 in the world, there's a lot of deception. 31:39 Remember the Bible talks about deceiving 31:41 and being deceived here in the last day. 31:44 We live in a world that, I figure out, 31:46 that you just don't know what, 31:48 you can find somebody on the street 31:49 that's wanting two, three dollars to buy something. 31:52 You don't know whether 31:54 they have a mansion on the hilltop as it were, 31:56 whatever or they really need some food. 31:58 You'd really like to know because they really need it. 32:00 We have an obligation to help them. 32:03 But there's too many people, 32:04 we just don't know if they're deceiving. 32:07 I think it was one man said, 32:09 I don't know was in Carbondale or something, 32:10 I don't know, you just tell me what it is, 32:11 somebody would say what it is, one guy, 32:13 you know people criticizing because he's on a street corner 32:16 and he's asking for money to buy food 32:17 because he's starving to death, 32:19 he don't have a job, he don't have anything. 32:21 And when he was challenged, and really met with it, 32:24 he said, "I wouldn't laugh too hard 32:25 if I was you, I made over 40, 000 last year." 32:30 It's just an example that I'm saying, we don't know. 32:33 "All deceptions," notice this, "all falsifying." 32:38 Think how close we've come to falsify. 32:40 If we don't tell the truth and the whole truth, 32:43 we falsified it. 32:45 There's no little white lie, 32:47 there's no little white anything. 32:49 We talk about, you know, telling the truth. 32:51 it either is or it is all falsified. 32:54 Somebody listen, all evil speaking, 32:56 it is better for us to take some duct tape 32:59 and put it around our mouth 33:00 than say some of the things that we do. 33:01 Somebody with me? 33:04 It would be better to go... 33:07 'Cause God reads the heart, we understand. 33:09 But you see, it didn't say a little bit of evil speaking, 33:12 it said, "All evil speaking must be put away. 33:16 The new life, which makes men and women Christlike, 33:21 is to be lived." 33:23 Can you possibly imagine that all around Jesus Christ 33:26 was gossiping, backbiting, falsifying, 33:29 lying to other people, deceiving other people. 33:32 No, He did not, 33:33 He only did it through the power of heaven. 33:36 We can have that same power as we invite it in. 33:39 Jesus said in John 12:31, please listen, 33:44 "Now is the judgment of this world," 33:46 what are we living in? 33:48 We're living in the hour of God's judgment 33:51 under Revelation what, 14. 33:54 We're living in the judgment hour 33:56 first, second, and third angel's message. 33:59 And remember part of those message 34:01 are not only are we 34:02 in the investigating judgment of God 34:05 and calling the Sabbath back into existence again. 34:07 But there is a call in the second angel's message 34:10 to come out of her, my people, 34:12 come out of the fallen churches, 34:14 and join the remnant church 34:16 that keep the commandments of God, 34:17 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 34:19 A call is to come out of her, my people. 34:23 God's people will come out, 34:24 and we'll mention that later on, 34:26 the popular churches of the day and they will join the remnant. 34:29 And I said what? 34:30 The true, and honest, and faithful, 34:32 the majority will not 34:33 because they think they've got what they need. 34:37 Maybe too much has been said. 34:41 If we believe this hour, if we believe in this message, 34:45 we won't say it's too tough, 34:47 we won't say that's not the truth. 34:50 We won't say that because the Bible said, 34:53 "Now is the judgment of this world." 34:55 Listen carefully, 34:56 "Now shall the prince of this world be cast out." 35:02 Isn't that beautiful? 35:03 Who claims to be the prince of this world? 35:05 The enemy, yeah, the enemy. 35:09 You know, lot of times Jesus 35:10 maybe refer to the prince or He might... 35:12 But what does the enemy do? He is a copycat. 35:15 The Devil says, "I'm the Prince of this world." 35:18 But now Jesus said, because of His sacrifice, 35:21 it's time now we're in the judgment hour 35:23 that the devil is going to be cast out. 35:25 He's defeated, fallen, why serve him? 35:29 He's defeated. 35:30 I could be on the winning side, I don't know about you. 35:32 I love to be, I love to win. 35:35 I play sports. I go out. 35:36 I never have ever went out to lose. 35:39 I don't think Josh has either, the way he plays. 35:44 Think about it. 35:46 If you go out to play, you go out to win. 35:49 Somebody won't get all that, but still yet. 35:53 If you join the cause of Christ, 35:55 you join the winning side, you want to win. 35:59 You want heaven to be your home. 36:00 Why miss it for some little nippy, nippy 36:03 whatever, it might be in this world, 36:04 it amounts to nothing. 36:06 Jesus saw this down the streams of time. 36:09 He saw that if you, 36:11 if we, all of the world would accept Him. 36:14 Oh, there would be a plan put in. 36:15 Power would be given to every person 36:18 that would receive Him. 36:20 He said to them gave He power, to do what? 36:23 To overcome the enemy, 36:25 ain't that sad to say 36:26 I offer you all of heaven to make sure, 36:28 the devil is already defeated, 36:29 he's already been beaten on the battlefield. 36:31 Christ already beat him. 36:33 He's already a conquered foe. 36:35 But yet, he said, "You come to me, 36:37 I'll give You power that you may defeat the enemy 36:39 when he comes at you." 36:42 It's time for him to be cast out. 36:45 And then men and women, by the grace of God, 36:48 is there any men and women here? 36:49 Absolutely, men and women of God. 36:51 Now what happens? 36:52 Men and women of God, 36:54 we can regain that which was lost to sin. 36:58 Because of Jesus, did you get it? 37:00 Because of Jesus 37:02 we have an opportunity to regain 37:04 that which was lost through sin. 37:07 It was all lost. We were lost. The world was lost. 37:11 Everything was lost. 37:13 But Christ came and won it back for you. 37:15 And He won it back for me. 37:16 He looked at us and felt... 37:18 I felt sorry, I want to use that word. 37:20 He felt sorry for looking, that's what? 37:22 We have very little concept of what heaven is about 37:24 and the power of an angel, power of the enemy. 37:28 He looked at the power of, 37:29 as a giant as it were 37:30 against a little two or three year old child 37:32 and he said, "They don't stand a chance. 37:35 I'm going to empower them. 37:36 I'm going to put something inside of them. 37:38 Something that's natural that springs out, 37:41 and when they call for help, 37:42 I'll be there, and I'll give them that power." 37:45 We must realize 37:47 that everyone, listen carefully, 37:49 everyone who professes to be a Christian, 37:54 every person who professes to be a Christian 37:56 and does not live the life of Christ 37:59 is making a mockery of religion, 38:02 making a mockery of religion. 38:04 That's why there's not more people 38:06 in the church 38:07 because we've all made a mockery 38:09 sometime or the other, maybe religion. 38:10 People won't come to church today 38:12 because of you or maybe because of me, 38:14 something that we've done. 38:15 And they hold hard feelings, they'll never be forgiving, 38:17 and they'll never come back in. 38:19 My, that's something 38:20 we need to take before the Lord, 38:21 make sure that parts cleaned up. 38:25 And are you living the life, am I living the life 38:27 that makes people want to come into the church or get away? 38:31 Are we live in the kind of life 38:33 that God can use us to give Bible Studies? 38:35 Then why aren't we giving some? 38:37 Everybody here should be giving studies. 38:39 One thing I like about it 38:40 we have the opportunity to reach the world, 38:44 reach the world here. 38:45 And you know what? 38:46 Many people have went away from that, 38:48 they'd rather go spend their time 38:49 in their house by themselves rather than fulfill 38:52 the gospel commission of going to all over the world. 38:55 Anybody still home? 38:58 There are people that instead of being involved 39:01 in something that will reach the world. 39:03 You realize He said, Jesus said, 39:05 "Go into all over the world and preach the gospel." 39:09 That was, He commissioned us to go. 39:12 He commanded us to go. 39:14 And yet some of us want to go, 39:15 "Oh, we'll just go 39:16 and we'll be by ourselves over here, 39:18 and we'll just stay here and do this, that..." 39:19 You are not fulfilling the gospel commission. 39:21 If I do that I'm not fulfilling the gospel commission. 39:24 If you have the opportunity to work along with those, 39:27 who by the grace of God can reach the world. 39:31 We can reach the world by, 39:33 you know, God's grace from this little spot. 39:37 We reach the world, 39:38 over and over, day in and day out, 39:42 sometimes several times during the day. 39:44 You see, that's the blessing, has nothing to do with us, 39:47 we're not good. 39:48 But we're reaching the world, that's a gospel commission. 39:51 He said under the third angel's message, 39:52 He's going to work marvelously for His people, 39:55 do things for them. 39:57 Third angel's message 40:00 that we're talking about here is not to be shut up 40:03 in these walls, 40:05 I want that to make sense. 40:06 The message that we give, 40:08 I cannot understand that the churches, 40:10 maybe today that will just say, 40:13 "Well, you know, I don't... 40:15 We're content just to keep it within the walls here." 40:18 We are going to have a good service together, 40:19 and that's all. 40:21 That's not what God said to do. 40:22 He said get this gospel into all over the world, 40:24 every kingdom, right? 40:26 Nation, tongue, and people. 40:27 And then the end is going to come. 40:30 And we have to know this message. 40:32 We have to love this message. 40:33 We're are to be willing to, says here, 40:35 die for this message. 40:37 People are not going to like you for it, 40:39 but that's all right, it doesn't matter, 40:40 I want God to love me. 40:41 I don't care if people will get mad, 40:43 let them get mad. 40:44 I don't really want them to, 40:45 but the truth is more important, 40:47 and it has to be to us. 40:50 Oh, we live in a age, in a age in this society 40:55 where it hard to tell 40:56 the difference between right and wrong, 40:58 we must know the Word of God. 41:00 This quote I believe fits, going as fast as we can, 41:04 fits us as people, 9 testimony 29 says, 41:07 "If every soldier of Christ..." 41:09 I like it when I'm referred to, Brother John, 41:12 you're referred to as a soldier, 41:15 you're referred to as a soldier. 41:18 As a man or woman of God, 41:20 notice this, of Christ had done his duty. 41:22 Here's what's sad. 41:24 If every man and woman had, a soldier had done their duty. 41:27 Think about it, if we had done what? 41:29 Our duty, 41:30 if every watchman on the walls of Zion, 41:32 I hear people say, 41:33 "Oh, I'm a watchman on the walls of Zion." 41:35 If you're all the watchman that's on the walls of Zion, 41:37 your people is in trouble 41:39 'cause you're not much of a watchman. 41:41 Now the only ones will get mad 41:42 about that statement is the ones 41:44 who are not a watchman. 41:45 If you were a watchman, 41:47 you can say that to me all day long. 41:48 And I know in my heart if I'm a watchman are not. 41:51 The only one's who get mad is who? 41:53 The one's who are not watchmen, that's the challenge. 41:58 The watchman on the walls of Zion 41:59 had given the trumpet a certain sound. 42:02 The world might err, 42:05 have heard this message of warning 42:07 but the work is years behind, notice this, while men slip, 42:13 while we were lukewarm, notice this, 42:15 Satan has stolen a march upon us. 42:19 The enemy wants to put you to sleep. 42:23 He doesn't care if you snore or not. 42:27 Did you get it? 42:29 He don't care if you're out of it or not, 42:31 he wants you little bit woozy. 42:34 He wants you where you kind of hear it, 42:36 and yet it goes in one ear and out the other and say, 42:39 Well, I heard it, I think... 42:44 "While we have been Laodicea, 42:48 the seventh church certainly means the judgment, 42:50 but the lukewarm saying 42:51 we haven't increased with good, we have need of nothing, 42:54 we have need of everything. 43:00 That Seventh-day church applies to us 43:04 more than anyone else, I really do believe. 43:08 While we have been snoozing, 43:10 the devil has come in and he's uprooting everything. 43:14 Now we don't know right and wrong 43:16 because we're not in the Word. 43:18 I believe this, if a person is truly converted, 43:21 he's going to want to impart all of that joy, 43:25 and that happiness, and that peace, 43:28 he's wanting to go in the love of God, 43:30 he's really want to give it to others. 43:34 See I talk about heaven. 43:38 Heaven is to reflect 43:39 that character of the Christian. 43:43 See heaven wants our characters 43:45 to be reflected to the world which is not ours but Christ. 43:48 Christ to the world. 43:50 When people see you, they should see Christ. 43:54 There's too much talk about self and me, 43:56 my, I, rather than no longer I but Christ. 44:00 Paul understood that message, 44:02 I need to understand that message, 44:04 no longer I but Christ. 44:06 No longer my mind, but it's His mind. 44:09 That's the mind I need is His mind. 44:11 My mind, shot, I don't need my own mind, 44:15 I need a new regenerated mind 44:17 that can only come by spending some time 44:20 with Jesus and giving my life to Him. 44:23 Third angel's message is going to call, 44:26 I mentioned this a while ago, listen, 44:27 it's going to call people out of the popular churches. 44:31 Are you still with me? 44:33 Under the third angel's message, 44:35 calls will be come, 44:36 to come out of those popular churches 44:39 of the world today, come out of her. 44:42 You notice that in Revelation 14, 44:44 and again in Revelation 18, 44:46 where it's talking about another angel 44:48 which would be third and the fourth one, 44:50 so it would be the fourth angel. 44:52 Under the power of that fourth angel's message 44:56 it says, "Come out," notice, "come out of her, 44:58 my people 45:00 and be not partakers of her sins," 45:03 the churches sins. 45:04 Are you still with me? 45:05 God is calling people out of the popular churches today 45:10 because they are not preaching the truth, 45:12 they're not preaching the truth of the judgment, 45:14 they're not preaching the truth about the second coming, 45:16 they're not preaching the truth about the Seventh-day Sabbath, 45:18 they're not preaching the truth about hellfire, 45:20 they're not preaching truth. 45:22 You just think, "Well, Roy, he's just going on and on." 45:24 That is a fact. That is the truth. 45:27 There are just not preaching. It's all counterfeited. 45:30 And God is getting the truth out there 45:32 so you might make an intelligent decision 45:35 and I might make that decision. 45:37 Praise God for that. Revelation 18. 45:39 Early Writings, 278 quickly, notice, 278,9, 45:43 "The third message was to do its work. 45:46 All were to be tested upon it. 45:49 And the precious ones were to be called out 45:53 from the religious bodies to," what? 45:55 Who? 45:56 The precious... 45:57 Come on, Church, stay with me few more minutes. 46:00 The precious ones, the honest in heart, 46:04 not the one that sit there, "Well, my aunt weren't here, 46:07 my dad, mommy weren't here, my uncle weren't here, 46:09 and everybody weren't here," so what? 46:13 That's not trying to be ugly, that's simply saying is, 46:16 is that what God would have you to do. 46:20 Did they have all the light that you have? 46:24 If I ask you today, are you walking, 46:26 be saved in God's Kingdom. 46:27 Are you, don't raise your hand, 46:29 are you walking in every bit of light 46:32 that God has given you? 46:33 If not, we're not in a saved relationship with Christ. 46:37 We cannot reject any portion of light, 46:39 to reject light is to reject Jesus Christ. 46:42 See this is simple part of it 46:43 but yet it gets down to the nitty-gritty. 46:45 It's not going where granny and gramps went, 46:47 and mom and dad went to heaven. 46:49 It's because of Jesus Christ, 46:51 and following Him where so ever He goeth. 46:55 Third angel's message, all were to be tested 46:57 and, notice, the precious ones were to be called out. 47:00 Notice, "I saw that this message would close 47:03 with power and strength exceeding 47:06 the midnight cry." 47:07 Oh, hope we have enough time to do this 47:09 because people are so confused 47:11 about the loud cry and the midnight cry. 47:14 Let's just quickly touch on it as fast as we can. 47:16 So what's the difference between the midnight cry 47:19 and the loud cry? 47:21 Notice this, the loud cry, 47:23 the loud cry we're talking about incorporates 47:25 the fourth angel 47:27 or another angel in Revelation 18, 47:29 it working with the third angel's message 47:31 of Revelation 14, to give power to that message. 47:36 Think about it. 47:37 We're giving the message, 47:39 the power of third angel's message, 47:40 but God said the world's going to hear it. 47:42 And He sends more power from heaven to make sure 47:45 when that Word is spoken, that people will hear it, 47:48 and they will respond by the power of the Spirit. 47:50 We need that. 47:52 Early Writings 277 says this, 47:54 "The work of this angel," 47:55 the fourth one, another angel of Revelation 18, 47:59 "comes in at the right time to join in the last great work 48:03 of the third angel's message as it swells to a loud cry." 48:07 Wow, how wonderful that is. 48:09 Midnight cry, anybody remember the midnight cry? 48:13 Midnight cry was simply 48:14 the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. 48:16 In 1844, as the second angel's message was given 48:20 and the cry come out of her, My people. 48:24 They hear the truth. 48:25 You realize that you hear what is truth, 48:27 you can't just stay in your seat, 48:29 you can't just say it 48:30 doesn't make any difference anymore. 48:34 The call is to come out of her, that means the churches, 48:38 that's what her represents, isn't it? 48:39 Either the false, right, or the true. 48:43 Come out of her my people before probation closes, 48:48 before the outpouring of the plagues, 48:51 and they're going to fall here in this world. 48:53 Many are going to accept the truth. 48:56 Oh, my friends, don't get discouraged. 48:59 It seems like maybe no one's responding 49:00 or you don't see much responding. 49:03 But the close of this Word, many, many will respond. 49:06 God is holding back the winds of strive. 49:09 God is impressing the man in high places 49:11 and high positions about this message. 49:14 He's holding back all kinds of stuff 49:15 going on in the world, 49:16 we have no idea until this message is given 49:19 to the whole world. 49:20 God is in control. That' what I like. 49:22 It's going to be finished 49:23 just exactly like the Bible says. 49:25 Man, why don't we go along with the Bible sayings. 49:28 We see Satan knows 49:29 that this work is going to close with more power. 49:32 And so just before the close of the third angel's message, 49:35 Satan produces a counterfeit. 49:37 Did you get it? He producing counterfeits. 49:40 He produces, 49:41 you know, the counterfeit for the loud cry. 49:44 Satan gets an excitement in the churches, 49:47 and they feel that it's the Spirit of God 49:49 when it's the spirit of the enemy. 49:50 You know when they're hanging from the chandeliers 49:52 and jumping out of doors, and jumping out windows, 49:54 and screaming, speaking in tongues, 49:56 there is a true and there is a false. 49:58 We will get that out there and let some people chew 50:00 on that for a while. 50:02 First, second, third angel's message, you see. 50:07 Those who have rejected 50:08 the first, second, and third angel's message 50:10 because they see no merit in it. 50:12 Notice that, oh, my! 50:14 Who are these ones, who are the ones, 50:17 the ones that the enemy can fool are the ones 50:20 who have rejected these messages 50:22 because they won't follow Christ 50:24 in the most holy place. 50:25 They can't receive the benefit of His intercession there. 50:29 Satan takes over, did you get it? 50:32 What happens if we reject these three messages, 50:35 first, second, and third angel's message, 50:37 which the majority of the world 50:39 did when they were given in 1844, 50:41 you know it was given a little before, 50:43 The majority of the churches who had opportunity, 50:46 all different faiths had opportunity, 50:49 but the majority rejected those messages. 50:52 They didn't follow Christ into the most holy place 50:55 for the judgment hour and Sabbath reform, 50:57 you see, and warning about the mark of the beast, 50:59 and so on. 51:00 And come out of her my people. They didn't follow. 51:03 They went as far as some of the reformers went, 51:05 and that's as far as they went. 51:07 That's not enough, 51:08 we have to go as far as Jesus goes. 51:11 We have to realize that Satan takes over. 51:14 He deceives some, listen carefully, 51:16 he deceives some by spiritualism. 51:21 The devil comes in and he deceives others 51:23 by some of his cunning deceptions that he has. 51:27 He comes as an angel of light and deceives many. 51:30 He comes to others with signs, and miracles, and wonders, 51:33 and deceives. 51:34 He comes to others with false reformations 51:37 and lies of the devil from the pits of hell 51:40 and put them up there as truth. 51:43 Friend, we've got to know what truth is. 51:46 Satan hopes to deceive the honest, and lead them, 51:51 you know, to think that God is still working in, 51:53 and among, and around them 51:55 when the Holy Spirit is not doing that. 51:59 God wants us to shine a light. He's looking for the honest. 52:01 He's looking for a call. 52:03 He's saying come out of her my people. 52:04 When you hear a truth, 52:06 then God expects us to follow that truth. 52:08 Then maybe later you'll hear another truth, 52:10 you'll understand another truth, 52:11 we've got to walk that far. 52:12 Here's the truth, I understand this here. 52:14 Oh, here comes another one on the second coming. 52:16 Okay, I'm with you Lord. 52:17 It comes one on the Sabbath, oh, I'm with you Lord. 52:19 Here comes one on what happens when you die. 52:21 Yes, Lord, we're walking all the way with Him. 52:25 This is so important. 52:26 We're under the third angel's message, 52:28 there are no more messages. 52:30 He warns us about the mark of the beast 52:32 and receiving of the mark. 52:33 We know what the mark of the beast is, 52:35 we know what it is. 52:37 And I don't mind saying it over 52:38 because I want to help people along the way. 52:41 It's a proven fact 52:42 the mark of the beast will be coming, 52:44 it is not now, it is Sunday worship. 52:47 We might as well get it through our head. 52:49 You have the counterfeit which is Sunday, 52:50 you have the real 52:51 which is the Seventh-day Sabbath. 52:54 Now remember when the law is passed, 52:56 that's when we have to make 52:57 a real choice and decision on that. 52:59 Why don't we pray, our time has run out. 53:01 Pray for the Holy Spirit. 53:03 I hope I've agitated you enough to get back 53:04 into the Word 53:05 and do some studying for yourself. 53:07 Let's pray, shall we. 53:08 Loving Father in heaven, 53:09 we thank You for Your precious Word. 53:11 We thank You for loving us, 53:12 and we pray that You'll impress, 53:13 by the Holy Spirit, each and everyone's ears 53:15 who are tinkling right now that they love You, 53:17 they want to serve You, and they will by God's grace. 53:20 And we thank You in Jesus' name, amen. 53:23 God bless you. And will see you next time. 53:27 Hello, and welcome back. I know you were blessed. 53:31 I know that your heart was moved as you listened 53:33 to that message. 53:35 The third angel, 53:36 what a message, what a warning, 53:39 what a calling, what a waking up 53:41 as we look at the symbols that God has left for us. 53:44 As we look at history 53:46 and we piece these things together. 53:48 You know I used to wonder, 53:50 "Lord, why didn't 53:51 You just make it really, really clear." 53:53 But I think it's just the same as when He was on this earth 53:56 and He spoke of parable, 53:58 He didn't want to cut His work short. 54:00 And so these gems are here. 54:03 The sight where the blind as it were, 54:05 spiritual confusion, 54:07 the answer to that spiritual confusion 54:10 is in God's Word 54:11 if we just look at it, and read it, study, 54:15 always pray for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. 54:17 In closing, 54:19 I want to read to you a few verses 54:21 that's found in Revelation 18 54:24 because that third angel, before that message closes, 54:28 and other angels going to come up, 54:30 fourth angel is going to come as it were from heaven, 54:33 and it's going to give that third angel more power. 54:36 And we're seeing that power now as we live. 54:39 And I know as the close of this earth history, 54:42 we're going to see it. 54:43 We proclaim with even greater power. 54:45 Listen to what God has to say, through His prophet John, 54:49 beginning 18:1. 54:52 "And after these things I saw another angel come down 54:56 from heaven, having great power, 54:58 and the earth was lightened with his glory. 55:01 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, 55:04 saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, 55:07 and is become the habitation of devils, 55:10 and the hold of every foul spirit 55:13 and cage of every unclean and hateful bird." 55:17 If you just stop and think about these symbols, 55:20 you realize the things that we accept 55:23 as moral in today's society fits right in with God 55:28 foretold to us through His Prophet. 55:31 Reading on in verse 3, 55:33 "For all nations have drunk with the wine 55:36 of the wrath of her fornication, 55:38 and the kings of the earth 55:39 have committed fornication with her, 55:42 and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich 55:45 through the abundance of her delicacies." 55:47 You see we are in such a spiritual confusion 55:50 because we've drink of all these different theories 55:54 as it were of many religions. 55:57 And we don't know always what's right and wrong. 55:59 That's why we've got to get back to God's Word. 56:02 Verse 4, "And I heard another voice 56:05 from heaven, saying," 56:08 I could just picture Christ saying these words, 56:11 "come out of her, my people, 56:14 that ye be not partakers of her sins, 56:17 that ye receive not of her plagues." 56:20 Come out of her my people. 56:23 Jesus is begging, He's calling, 56:26 He's doing all He can to call you 56:29 and to call me out of spiritual confusion 56:34 where we being not a part of those plagues 56:37 that are going to hit this earth. 56:40 I hope as you pray, 56:42 I hope as you watch this program, 56:45 you want to consider getting this two part series. 56:48 You know we always make these available. 56:51 And these two, this series, 56:52 these two messages will be available to you 56:55 for a love gift of just $15 56:57 or more here in the United States. 56:59 If you're abroad, 57:01 please consider extra donation for the cost of shipping. 57:05 All you have to do is call us here, 57:06 Behold the Lamb Ministries, 57:08 at area code 618-942-5044 57:14 or email us at Behold TheLambMinistries@yahoo.com. 57:19 Look us up on the web 57:20 at www.Behold TheLambMinistries.com. 57:25 And when we do, would you please consider, 57:27 we're a supporting ministry, 57:30 and we only are able to bring you 57:32 these messages as you 57:34 are led by God to support this ministry. 57:36 So will you please consider that as well. 57:39 God bless you my dear friends. 57:41 I pray that you will be one that will answer that message 57:44 when Jesus says come out of her my people. 57:48 May our precious Lord 57:50 continue to richly bless you and yours. |
