00:38 Hello, and welcome to Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:40 I'm Chris Shelton, your host, 00:42 I want to thank you for joining us. 00:44 Today's message is entitled, 00:45 "Catching the Steady Trend of Events 00:47 The Last Scenes of this World's History" part three. 00:51 And as we have seen in parts one and two, 00:53 there is so very much 00:54 that has been transpiring in our world in darkness 00:58 behind the scenes, 00:59 but it is now beginning 01:01 to be presented in the forefront. 01:03 We are witnessing, friends, 01:04 events that are in direct accord 01:07 with the very last prophecies of the Bible 01:09 to be fulfilled before our Lord and Savior 01:12 appears in those clouds of glory 01:14 that take us home with Him. 01:16 This world is rapidly experiencing disaster 01:20 after disasters, 01:22 of which I truly believe our wake up calls. 01:25 Trumpets of warning as it were sounding throughout the earth, 01:29 and waking up to our true spiritual condition 01:32 as a nation or as an individual 01:35 is precisely what we need to be doing. 01:38 These calamities are bringing about global concerns 01:41 for humanity's ultimate survival 01:44 among the nations of the earth. 01:46 Therefore, the nations have been coming together 01:49 under what they're calling the Paris Agreement 01:51 or the Paris Accord 01:53 and they're seeking guidance from each other 01:55 and from papal Rome. 01:58 We are witnessing firsthand, listen to this, 02:00 firsthand the coming together of church and state. 02:05 News broadcast agencies are currently 02:07 broadcasting reports of world leaders meeting with 02:11 and seeking guidance from the pope 02:13 to help with a global warming, 02:15 which many feel is what we are to blame 02:17 for the climates radical changes 02:19 that are occurring. 02:21 The pope has made his position very clear 02:24 on how he feels 02:25 that we can save our planet from this global warming, 02:29 from the economic strain that it's causing, 02:32 and provide help for overall morality 02:34 and the family unit all at the same time. 02:38 Many of you may recall that Pastor Kenny mentioned 02:41 that the pope has laid out his plan 02:43 in his second encyclical entitled Laudato si' 02:47 which carries a second title On Care for Our Common Home. 02:52 As part of the pope solution, he is pushing for national 02:56 Sunday observance 02:58 around the countries of the world. 03:00 With several countries having already responded to his call 03:05 and they are implementing Sunday laws. 03:07 Businesses are closing and civil consequences 03:11 if you are found in violation to their law. 03:15 This is no small matter for any of us. 03:19 It will ultimately lead to a governmental shift 03:23 away from granting all of us 03:25 our liberty of conscious 03:26 to our obeying the super powers that be 03:30 for the common good of everyone. 03:33 But is this really what is good for all? 03:36 Is it God that has been orchestrating this shift? 03:40 Has the God of the universe suddenly shifted His solemnity 03:44 and sacredness of the seventh day Sabbath 03:46 to the first day of the week? 03:48 Please stay tuned, won't you? 03:50 I truly believe that these 03:52 and many other questionable issues 03:55 will be answered in today's program 03:57 with Pastor Kenny Shelton 03:59 as we seek our Lord and Savior 04:01 for His wisdom and understanding. 04:04 But before we join Pastor Kenny, 04:06 let's visit 3ABN and listen to a song 04:09 that is entitled "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," 04:12 as played by Stephen Bramblett. 06:34 Hi, and welcome once again to Behold the Lamb ministry. 06:36 We appreciate so very much you taking this time out 06:40 as we study the Bible together. 06:42 This is, as you already heard, 06:43 it's such an interesting subject. 06:46 And we're gonna talk about now in time events 06:48 what's happening in the world today, 06:50 Catching the Steady Trend of Events 06:53 in The Last Scenes of Earth's History. 06:55 If we really believe this, and I know that you do. 06:57 Those who are watching, those who are listening, 06:59 you need to make sure you stay tuned 07:01 that we're gonna go through some things 07:02 that might jar you just a little bit, 07:04 but you'll see that they certainly coincide 07:05 with the Word of God. 07:07 So right now I'm gonna get down to business, 07:08 you need to get down to business. 07:10 How about praying with me? 07:11 I'm gonna kneel here, have a quick word of prayer. 07:13 Please pray. 07:14 Loving Father in heaven, 07:16 we thank You for hearing and answering prayer today, 07:17 O Lord, we need You in a special way. 07:19 Loosen the tongue, the heart, the mind 07:21 that we may hear and see Jesus today. 07:23 As most important subject, we rebuke the old devil, 07:25 the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ, 07:27 our Lord and Savior. 07:29 Bring us Lord to the knowledge of what is truth and right. 07:31 And then give us that strength to walk in 07:33 and we thank You in Jesus' name, amen. 07:36 Have your Bible turn quickly. 07:38 These are things that we just have to take time to do 07:40 because I'm gonna read these passages 07:41 from the Revelation Chapter 13. 07:43 Some verses and these verses will be what we will build on 07:46 as we go through this. 07:48 If I don't read them now, 07:49 you probably won't be able to follow along 07:51 when I make some of the comments that we do 07:52 and the verses I'll refer to a little later on. 07:55 Revelation Chapter 13, 07:56 I always like to say, here's what the Bible says. 07:58 How about you? 07:59 Here's what the Bible says, Revelation 13. 08:02 I'm gonna read verse... 08:03 I'd like to read them all but I can't. 08:05 We'll start with verse 4. 08:06 Notice what the Bible says. 08:08 It says, "And they worshipped the dragon, 08:10 which gave power unto the beast: 08:13 and they worshipped the beast saying, 08:15 who is like unto," what? 08:16 Whom? 08:17 "The beast, and who is able to make war with him?" 08:20 Skip down to verse 8. 08:21 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him," 08:25 in other words worship him, worship the dragon, 08:27 basically, you're getting that, 08:28 "whose names are not written 08:30 in the book of life of the Lamb slain 08:32 from the foundation of the world. 08:35 Verse 11, 08:36 "I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, 08:40 and he had two horns." 08:41 That's United States in Bible prophecy. 08:43 So keep that in your mind as we go. 08:45 Skip to verse 14. 08:46 Notice what it says. 08:48 "And he," notice, "he deceiveth them 08:49 that dwell on the earth," 08:51 who is that? 08:52 The enemy, the devil, "by the means of those miracles 08:54 he had power to do in the sight of the beast." 08:57 We realized the beast and we discussed the beast, 08:59 there's no doubt about it. 09:00 I've come right out and say it today, 09:02 the beast we're talking about here is the papacy, 09:04 there's no doubt about that, 09:05 it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. 09:07 But we got to get down to it. 09:09 Verse 15, 09:10 the beast have the power or the enemy, 09:12 we remember gave him his power, his seat and great authority. 09:15 Verse 12 or 15, sorry, 09:18 "And he had power to give life unto the," what? 09:21 "Image of the beast, 09:22 that the image of the beast should both speak 09:24 and cause that as many as would not," what? 09:27 "Worship the image of the beast should be," what? 09:30 "Killed." Death decree, is it? 09:33 Verse 16, "And he causeth," 09:35 this is what we're talking about. 09:36 Talking about passing of laws. 09:38 "He causeth all, both small 09:40 or rich, great, poor, free, bond 09:42 to receive a mark in their," what? 09:44 "Right hand and in their foreheads." 09:46 Verse 17, 09:48 "No man might buy or sell, save he have," what? 09:50 "The mark or the number of the beast 09:52 or the name of the beast and the number of the name." 09:55 Well, just read it there, verse 17, 09:57 the number of his name. 09:58 Please keep this in mind 10:00 as we go along in this study here, 10:02 the time is coming, there's gonna be what? 10:04 Death decree goes out on those who are faithful to God. 10:07 The time will come where you will not be able 10:09 to buy or sell, say, if you have the mark, 10:11 but if you have the mark of the beast, you're lost. 10:13 You don't want that. 10:15 So it's just gonna be a small group of people. 10:17 And certainly, what it does? 10:18 It doesn't say, oh, all the world. 10:19 You say, well, that's everybody. 10:21 Revelation Chapter 14, I 10:22 wish, we wish we had time to go into that, 10:24 because it distinguishes a people 10:26 that God says are His people, 10:28 and they are His people because they do what? 10:31 They, by the grace of God, keep His commandments. 10:34 There's a group here. Notice this. 10:36 So we're catching the steady stream of events. 10:39 I love the book, The Great Controversy. 10:41 I know time is going right down. 10:42 I'm gonna go ahead with it. 10:44 I think it's page 580. 10:45 I'm reading these things 10:47 so that we can all realize 10:50 what, as we go through this study, 10:51 you're gonna say, "Hmm, 10:53 the Bible has been talking about that. 10:54 Spirit of Prophecy is talking about that. 10:56 So I have several things I've underlined here. 10:58 I want to read to you as quick as I can. 11:00 Page 580- 81 so on of the Great Controversy 11:03 says this, Rome, start out with the word Rome. 11:06 Notice this, "She bides her time, 11:08 seeing that the Protestant churches 11:11 are paying her homage 11:12 in their acceptance of the false sabbath." 11:15 That mean Sunday, 11:16 "and that they are prepared to enforce it 11:18 by the very means, 11:19 which she herself employed in bygone days." 11:22 Some of you have read about the Dark Ages, 11:24 what happened when the Catholic Church was in control. 11:26 That's what it's talking about here. 11:28 Skipping on down a couple of paragraphs, 11:29 "History testifies of her artful, 11:31 persistent efforts insinuating herself 11:35 into the affairs of the nations, 11:37 and have gained a foothold, to further her own aims." 11:40 Do you see that today? 11:42 What's the papacy doing? 11:43 Not involve just religious things, 11:45 it says in the political things of the world were approved 11:47 as we go on through here. 11:48 Remember, this is written long time ago 11:50 before these things are happening today 11:51 that I'm gonna be talking about here, 11:53 the God is in it. 11:54 Notice here, it says, "And let it be remembered 11:56 that the boast of Rome is that she never," what? 12:00 "She never changes." 12:01 So you say, "Well, it's different today 12:02 and they're different people, it's all different day, 12:04 she never changes. 12:06 You'll see why in just a moment here. 12:08 "Protestants little know what they are doing 12:10 when they purpose to accept," notice this, 12:13 "the aid of Rome in the work of Sunday exaltation. 12:16 While they are bent upon the accomplishment 12:18 of their purpose, 12:20 Rome is aiming to do," what? 12:22 "To re-establish her power, to recover her lost supremacy." 12:27 Notice, "the Protestant world will learn," 12:29 notice this, "what the purposes of Rome really are, 12:33 only when it's too late to escape the snare. 12:37 She is silently moving into power. 12:39 Her doctrines are exerting their influence 12:41 in legislative halls," did you get it, 12:43 "in the churches and in the hearts of men. 12:47 All she desires is vantage ground, 12:50 and she is ready, what? 12:52 She's going for that right now where she can take over. 12:54 One more little quick couple of words here. 12:56 Notice this on page, it's 582, 12:59 "The last great conflict between truth and error 13:02 is but the final struggle of the long-standing controversy 13:07 between," what? 13:09 "Concerning the law of God." 13:12 The Great Controversy is all being 13:14 going on this the beginning of time 13:16 with Lucifer in heaven, 13:18 it was over what? 13:19 The law of God. 13:21 The enemy says, "No, you can't, can't obey that." 13:24 And God says, "Yes, you can through Me." 13:26 And certainly we're gonna see more 13:28 as we go catching this steady stream of history. 13:31 You know, we start with the same thing 13:34 that I will use here in Review and Herald article eight, 13:36 written in 1892, 13:38 now notice this, written in 1892. 13:39 But it says this, I did it on the first part, 13:41 second part and I'm gonna do it on third part right here. 13:44 "The judgments of God are falling on the world, 13:48 that men may be awakened to the fact that 13:50 Christ is to come speedily." 13:52 Judgments are falling where? 13:54 In the land. 13:55 If we haven't seen the judgments of God 13:56 falling in the land all around the world 13:58 there were you can name water, air, land, air, sea, 14:01 whatever happening right now. 14:03 We're not gonna ever see it, I don't think. 14:05 We're seeing it now 14:06 that the judgments of God is simply to wake us up 14:08 because He's soon to come. 14:10 Judgments of God, 14:12 you know, they can be found in the steady stream of events 14:15 that we're studying in prophecy right now. 14:18 We can say with a surety 14:19 that there will soon be a legislated Sunday law. 14:23 But we can say it but on surety here 14:25 and I'm standing here today to say, 14:27 God only knows when and how. 14:28 But all the pieces of the puzzle 14:30 are in place now for that 14:32 which they never ever have been 14:34 before in the history of the world that I know of. 14:37 I'm talking about something 14:38 that the world can grab a hold of. 14:40 They can chew on for a little bit, 14:41 and they can say, oh, what's best for the country 14:43 that we do this Sunday law. 14:47 Sure. 14:50 Interesting, the Bible said, you say, 14:51 "Well, that can't possibly be in this country." 14:53 Psalm 119:126. 14:56 Notice this, what the Word of God says right here. 14:58 "It is time for thee, O Lord to," come on, 15:02 "time for the O Lord to work: 15:04 for they have made void thy law." 15:06 The Bible said, there'll come a time 15:08 that when it seems 15:09 that the law of God has been voided out, 15:12 they no longer exists because laws will be passed. 15:14 Did you get it? 15:16 It says, it's time to work 15:17 because they made void the law of God. 15:19 And they've been working on certainly right now. 15:21 And why would we want to bring that up 15:23 when Psalm 119:160 says, 15:27 "Thy word is true from," what? 15:29 "From the beginning, 15:30 every one of thy righteous judgments 15:34 endureth for ever. 15:35 Ain't that beautiful? 15:36 Did you get that? 15:38 The Bible said, it's good, right? 15:40 God's word is good. 15:41 You know, for many, many years now behind the scenes 15:44 that in the dark of night movements 15:47 and preparations are going forth 15:49 which will result in the... 15:51 We read a while ago, the image to the beast. 15:53 That's why we read that passage, 15:54 the image to the beast. 15:56 The beast power is the papacy. 15:57 Papacy is responsible for what? 16:00 Making what? 16:02 Making Sunday as they say holy, you can't make Sunday holy, 16:04 it's the first day of the week, and never been holy, 16:05 never will be. 16:07 So we realized that that the one Daniel 7:25, 16:10 he shall think to do what? 16:11 The papacy, the beast power. 16:14 So think to changes times and laws. 16:16 So we need to look at this 16:18 rather closely today and really think about it 16:20 rather than have preconceived ideas. 16:22 And, oh, I'm laughing about it. 16:24 You see, we'll be laughing out the other side, 16:26 my dad said if you mouth on one of these days 16:28 if we're not careful because the Bible is very, very clear. 16:31 An image to the beast, 16:32 or what United States is gonna be foremost in, 16:35 as they see other countries of the world 16:37 moving about in blue laws. 16:40 We're gonna see that the image. 16:42 So we then what? 16:43 Follow after what the beast has done. 16:45 What has the beast done? They said what? 16:47 He thinks to change Saturday to Sunday to worship, 16:50 that's what they've done. 16:51 They said, "We have that authority to do so 16:53 because it's the Catholic Church." 16:55 So this is what is boiling down to, 16:56 now we need to look at, you know, 16:58 as best we can by the Spirit of God. 17:00 Events are gonna be brought about 17:02 that will fulfill this prediction 17:03 beyond a shadow of a doubt here at the end time. 17:07 If you don't believe that we're in the end time, 17:09 God have mercy on your soul. 17:11 God have mercy on my soul if I can't see 17:13 that we are nearing the close of probation 17:16 that Jesus is coming. 17:17 He's calling His people, the true and the faithful. 17:21 Right now we see that Protestantism, 17:23 we're talking about United States 17:24 is represented in Revelation 13:11 17:28 and it's represented as what? 17:30 Lamblike but it has horns, you remember, 17:33 but it speaks like the... 17:36 United States comes out, right? 17:38 Land of the free and religious freedom. 17:40 You have none of those freedoms anymore. 17:41 Well, we have the Declaration of Independence 17:43 and Bill of Rights. 17:45 We have none of those. 17:46 They may be up there, but they're all been made void 17:48 through other laws. 17:49 We'll see some of that as we go along here. 17:50 Revelation 13:11. 17:53 We're hearing about today 17:55 that everyone here but time will come 17:57 when we're going to be demanded to worship on Sunday, 18:00 but this, the work is going on is being concealed. 18:04 Some people who's working and doing a very good, 18:06 you know, the job, they think a very good job. 18:08 They don't even know what they're doing, 18:10 what the results will be. 18:11 That's how the enemy works. 18:14 If they thought they were doing something 18:15 that might take some freedom away from you, 18:17 maybe these people wouldn't be doing it, 18:19 but they see it as it's good for the country, 18:21 it's good for the world. 18:22 And we know, we're gonna find out here 18:24 that the world in my opinion is living in ignorance. 18:26 Is it okay to say that? 18:29 The world right now is living in ignorance 18:31 of what I'm talking to you about today. 18:33 They don't know because number one, 18:35 many times we don't want to talk about it. 18:37 People don't want to hear it, 18:38 their interest, they love their little life 18:40 and their lifestyle. 18:41 But you know what? 18:42 God is holding us accountable to sound the alarm. 18:45 He said, "Sam, put on your running shoes," 18:47 He said, "until the world." 18:49 What should be done about this thing? 18:50 Now, let's get to it. 18:52 We believe here at Behold the Lamb Ministries 18:54 that the Paris Agreement on climate control, 18:57 bear with me, the what? 18:59 We talked the Paris Agreement on climate control, 19:02 even the going of green, even though the thing, 19:04 now remember, the devil is gonna use 19:06 what seems to be good. 19:08 He's not gonna be obvious and just tear everything, 19:09 oh, this will be bad for to begin. 19:11 He's gonna use those things which on themself is good, 19:13 but he has a point he wants to get to. 19:17 It sounds good. Yes, why shouldn't we do it? 19:20 But it's hailed, this Paris Agreement is hailed 19:23 as something that must be done quickly. 19:25 You notice those who are behind it saying, 19:27 if we don't do something quickly in next few years, 19:29 this country is gonna go down the tube 19:31 and it shall never return. 19:33 So it's getting out, people are getting worried, 19:34 our young people are getting worried, 19:36 the older people are getting worried 19:37 that something is gonna take place 19:39 if we don't change because of the climate, 19:41 what's happening in the world today. 19:44 But remember, as this has been, it's already been passed. 19:48 Right? 19:49 We don't have to worry about, 19:50 well, is this thing gonna be passed or not? 19:52 As 195 countries has already agreed. 19:56 This, notice this, the Bible said, 19:58 "All the world will wonder after the beast. 20:01 We're gonna do what the beast has indicated and wants done." 20:05 Laudato si', 20:07 you know what this is, the Laudato si'? 20:09 This is the latest pope, his encyclical. 20:13 I've got this here, 20:14 and I've been reading through it 20:16 and I'll tell you this burning me up, 20:17 some of it, I don't mind to tell you. 20:20 What he's pushing for is unbelievable. 20:22 I hope we get in to talk a little bit about. 20:24 There's three areas that he comes out 20:26 and he talks about here in this book. 20:28 And, of course, that means 20:30 what peace to you or me something like that. 20:33 Laudato si', 20:34 but also it means and care, notice this, 20:36 and Care for Our Common Home. 20:38 Everything he's looking today, 20:39 he is finding things that you're interested, 20:41 I'm interested in, 20:42 so that we can have it in common together. 20:44 But there's another plan. 20:46 The plan is what? 20:47 He has the papacy instituted Sunday. 20:50 God's instituted the seventh day Sabbath. 20:53 The papacy is not content in here. 20:55 He's wanting to go back 20:56 where the whole world will worship 20:57 once again the pope 21:00 instead of God. 21:01 There's a great controversy is going on here. 21:03 Three things he brings out, 21:04 we'll talk about them as we go along. 21:06 Number one, 21:07 the pope's in right here, he's using this platform 21:10 of the climate change, 21:12 the Paris Agreement that we're talking a chord here. 21:15 So he bringing back this, man, if we don't change, 21:17 we're going down the tube, and how can we change? 21:20 My lands of love, we must be able to change. 21:22 Well, that means we may have to quit working on one day 21:25 during the week, somebody wake up. 21:27 One day a week we're gonna have to shut down all the, 21:30 you know, all the factories and all the businesses. 21:34 And, boy, if we do that, 21:35 I got some stats on here, they'll blow your mind 21:37 that people are planning these things and they say, 21:39 "This is the way we can come out of this mess." 21:41 The world's getting ready almost to explode. 21:43 So and then number two, he dwelt on the economy. 21:47 Everybody's interested in the economy 21:49 and then he had the, 21:50 the audacity, the backbone. 21:53 Don't let me get any worse with this. 21:56 To bring in that the day of rest 21:59 Sunday keeping is essential. 22:03 And it need to be done legislatively by law. 22:06 Just what the Bible said that I read to you, He calls us. 22:11 And that's pretty heavy duty, is it not? 22:13 To study and read this right here, 22:14 man, bring it out. 22:16 I mean, in 2015, 22:17 he visited the Congress, did he not? 22:22 And he went before them and was talking to them about, 22:24 hey, man, you know, 22:26 this is what we need to be doing in the world. 22:28 He wants to take a leadership role 22:31 in what is going on in the world. 22:33 We realize that the governments have been involved now. 22:37 The papacy is involved right now. 22:41 And they're promoting this agreement 22:43 that changes must take place. 22:46 It's better than was for a few 22:48 as it were to be uncomfortable than the whole world. 22:52 So look out for that little group 22:53 that's gonna be uncomfortable. 22:56 The government and the papacy, 22:58 see this is all working together here. 23:00 They're calling for an immediate change. 23:03 An immediate change or more devastation will come, 23:07 and they'll say, what kind of devastation will come 23:09 if we don't change? 23:10 Because, well, this climate issue, 23:12 you know what's gonna? 23:13 They said right there, 23:15 "There's gonna be more pestilence in the world." 23:16 They're talking what the Bible saying. 23:17 They said, "There's gonna be more plagues 23:19 that's gonna come out," 23:20 talking about smallpox, a lot of different things 23:22 I was referring to, they're talking about, 23:24 "There's gonna be more famine in the land than ever before, 23:26 there's gonna be more flooding than ever before. 23:28 There's gonna be more fires than ever before. 23:31 There's gonna be more tornadoes than ever before. 23:33 There's gonna be more tsunamis than ever before." 23:37 And what will it do? 23:38 They said, "Well, this is gonna hurt family. 23:40 It's gonna hurt people." Well, naturally that it is. 23:42 "It's gonna hurt our economy. 23:44 It's gonna hurt the world. 23:45 It's gonna hurt our jobs." 23:48 And with this global warming thing, 23:50 man, something's got to be done, 23:51 and that is attached to morality. 23:55 How can it be attached to morality, 23:56 they know how to do it, 23:58 but we have to see through it by the grace of God. 24:01 Morality is at an all time low. 24:04 You'd have to dig down 24:05 below the surface to find out about morality. 24:07 Are you still there? 24:09 Anybody here? 24:11 That's how low we've sunk. 24:14 How long will God let this thing go on? 24:18 We know that these disasters are becoming more frequent, 24:22 and is leading, leading our leaders, 24:24 even in our churches 24:26 and even our government to say, 24:28 "Why are things getting worse? 24:30 What's happened here?" 24:34 In the Great Controversy 5:90, we had time to read it, 24:36 is it simply said, basically, they come to this conclusion. 24:40 Those that are serving God and fellowshipping as it were, 24:43 and going to church on the seventh day of the week, 24:45 they are responsible for this. 24:48 You get your glass out some of you, 24:50 you get your glass out, you're gonna see it. 24:51 In fact, it's already happening. 24:53 It's already taking place. 24:56 Think about it. 24:58 There's somebody that's causing these things. 25:02 I hope we have time to talk more about later, 25:03 but we may not have. 25:05 But remember what happened. 25:07 We talked about the National Day of Prayer, 25:08 you remember the National Day of Prayer. 25:10 Oh, you say, well, there's no such thing. 25:11 How can the government 25:13 and we're talking about church and state here. 25:14 Are we not? 25:15 Well, how's they getting involved? 25:17 They passed the law, it's a national law. 25:19 And on the surface, what is it? 25:20 It's wonderful, we should all pray. 25:22 Right? 25:23 But notice the reasons 25:25 that they passed the law about prayer 25:26 is because the economy was bad, 25:28 because morality was at all time low. 25:31 The economy was a mess. 25:33 And same things here, 25:34 they got that passed that they're promoting now 25:36 that will get another law passed. 25:39 Man, 25:41 they understand how is to be done. 25:43 The world has gone crazy, 25:46 you know, abortions by the thousands 25:48 every day, we're talking about drive by shootings, 25:50 we're talking about drugs. 25:51 We talk about everything, lawlessness, 25:53 LGBT and him and her and them 25:56 and whatever they are, 25:58 you notice that runs rampant. 26:00 It's running rampant in the world today. 26:02 And we are looking at some of these issues 26:04 and just kind of, hmm, 26:06 man, somebody has to sound an alarm, 26:08 you know, we can't just be indifferent to these things, 26:10 because it's wrong. 26:12 And you know what people are saying? 26:13 We need to put God back into the country. 26:15 We've taken Him out of everything. 26:17 I believe that but listen, there's gonna be a problem. 26:22 They have some good points. 26:25 We've taken God out of everything 26:26 and now everything is mess. 26:28 Let's put God back in. 26:29 And so what they trying to do, legislate it. 26:33 You can't legislate Christianity. 26:34 You can't legislate a relationship 26:37 with Jesus Christ. 26:38 It's got to come from the heart, 26:39 but they're doing it. 26:41 Can you see the National Day of Prayer, 26:42 all these other things that's going on? 26:45 Absolutely. 26:46 So we got to be aware of this thing. 26:48 It sounds good, but listen, 26:49 much of the world religious leaders, 26:52 lawmakers and the government think they found the answer. 26:56 What is that answer? 26:58 It's funny, the answer they come up with was the same 27:00 as the papacy came up with. 27:03 So everybody's in agreement right here, man. 27:06 The pope in his second encyclical letter 27:09 which is I have up here 27:11 as a copy of it right here means 27:13 Praise be to you care for, 27:14 you know, our common home, 27:16 he's talking about here. 27:18 I thought how interesting that was, 27:19 we'll find that thing common all the time in here. 27:23 The pope centers his letters on this right here. 27:27 He says, listen, 27:28 if you will follow my lead, I'm paraphrasing, 27:30 "But if you will follow my lead, 27:32 I have an answer to all of these problems." 27:35 That's turning the world apart. 27:37 "I've got an answer." He said, "I've got an answer." 27:39 If you just listen. 27:40 You just listen. 27:42 This crisis will be stopped 27:43 and that people are sweating right now. 27:46 They really believe there's a crisis. 27:48 And there is crisis. 27:50 Pope said, "Just listen to me." 27:52 So what does he do? 27:53 He says, "Well, 27:54 I'm gonna focus on what we just talked about. 27:56 I'm gonna focus on number one. 27:58 How you think about pollution?" 28:01 You're right. 28:03 He said, "I'm gonna talk about the climate change 28:04 and it's warming up and, 28:06 man, there's gonna be more flooding 28:07 and then there are gonna be disasters 28:08 and all kinds of things are gonna happen." 28:10 So the environment, everybody said, 28:11 "Oh, yeah, yeah, but we're with your pope, 28:13 we're with you." 28:14 Then number two he says, "You know what we're gonna do? 28:16 We need to and I feel like 28:18 I need to deal with the economy." 28:20 Well, who is he think he is? 28:24 Need to deal with the economy. 28:27 I thought he was supposed to be a religious leader. 28:29 But interesting, the Bible write, find, says that here 28:32 that we'll understand who the beast is, 28:35 the power of the beast 28:36 because he's a religious leader and also a political. 28:41 We read in great convert, 28:42 he assumes or he pushes himself into the spotlight 28:45 and things going on in the world 28:47 as visiting Congress, visiting the president. 28:50 He put in President Trump's hand a personal copy of this. 28:55 He want to make sure, and President Trump said, 28:58 "Maybe I'll read a little bit later on." 29:00 He said, President Trump says, 29:02 "We and United States will stand with the pope." 29:07 Interesting thought, 29:10 will stand with the pope. 29:12 Wow. 29:13 Why would they want to be involved in the... 29:16 We're talking about the economy? 29:18 Did you realize they believe 29:20 that they are to be a head of the world economy? 29:23 Let me read something for you. 29:24 And this is good. 29:25 And remember, I read those things. 29:27 I hope you'll be able to recall them 29:28 as we go along. 29:29 Because you'll say this is outlandish, 29:31 things have changed right now, 29:32 remember, the papacy never changes. 29:38 When a pope makes encyclical, 29:39 he makes a law wherever he does with it, 29:41 it's there forever. 29:42 Let me just read something to you. 29:44 According to the Laudato si', 29:47 page 116. 29:49 Pope Benedict, the XVI, 29:51 affirmed the social teachings of the church. 29:54 What did he do? 29:55 He affirmed the social teachings of the church. 29:57 He said this, which is to manage 30:00 the global economy, 30:03 Oh, boy, 30:05 to bring about integral and timely disarmament, 30:09 food security, peace, 30:12 protect the environment, 30:14 to regulate migrations, 30:16 and all there is and for this, 30:18 there is an urgent need for a true world 30:21 political leader. 30:23 They themselves, they said right there in there, 30:25 the pope said, 30:27 "We should be leading 30:28 the economy of the whole world." 30:32 They're using this and then what the economies, 30:33 we'll say, "Oh, it's so good right now." 30:35 It's just a hair, any big disaster can happen, 30:37 we'd be in trouble, you know that, 30:40 urgent need. 30:45 In the Book of Daniel Chapter 7, 30:47 we don't have time to look, Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 30:50 talks about a little horn power. 30:51 You remember that? 30:54 The pope tells us about climate change 30:56 in our environment. 30:59 And as he talks about this, we talk about Daniel, 31:01 we talk about it. 31:03 Again, it gives, you know, did you understand well, 31:05 that it's a religious power, and it's also a what? 31:08 Political power. 31:10 See, we know that. 31:11 Pope begins to tell us about climate change here 31:13 in his book, 31:15 I thought was very, very interesting. 31:17 And what does he suggest? 31:18 On page 152, 153 of the book, 31:21 Laudato si', he says this. 31:24 He says, 31:25 "Climate change in our environment 31:27 calls for Sunday rest." 31:31 And then he goes into the Eucharist. 31:33 Somehow he's blending the Eucharist, 31:34 which is like the Lord's Supper, 31:36 I guess, you know, what we would call about 31:37 in the Protestant Church here you get it, 31:39 is also a source of light and motivation. 31:41 I'm reading for what he wrote here. 31:43 For our concern for the environment, 31:45 notice, on Sunday, 31:46 our participation in the Eucharist 31:48 has special importance. 31:50 Sunday like the Jewish Sabbath. 31:54 Anybody that calls the seventh day Sabbath 31:56 the Jewish Sabbath because I'm gonna say, 31:57 I'm not gonna mess with you anymore. 32:00 As you don't know your Bible, 32:02 it's not the Jewish Sabbath. 32:05 The Bible says in Mark 2:27-28, 32:08 the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. 32:11 Therefore the Lord is what? 32:12 He's Lord of the Sabbath, the seventh day Sabbath. 32:17 I mean, that's very, you know, the Jewish, 32:19 the Sabbath was instituted, what was it? 32:22 1500 years, 2000 years before there ever was a Jew. 32:25 So how can it be Jewish? 32:28 It's 'cause they don't know, 32:29 they're looking for something, straws. 32:31 Notice the pope, he goes on, notice this. 32:33 Now he has a backbone, 32:35 I'll have to say to write some of these things. 32:36 I think it needs to be exposed. 32:39 He said Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath 32:42 that we just talked about, is meant to be a day 32:44 which heals our relationship with God, 32:47 the law of a weekly rest for, notice this, 32:50 forbade work on the seventh day. 32:53 Exodus 23:12. 32:55 So the day of rest centered on the Eucharist, 32:59 shared this light on the whole week. 33:06 He has the audacity to say, 33:07 I realized the seventh day is the Sabbath 33:09 of the Lord thy God 33:10 but we changed that day. 33:12 That shows that we have the power 33:14 and authority over all other religions, 33:17 and in fact have taken God off the throne. 33:19 We put our self on the throne, 33:20 because they claim to be God on earth. 33:22 Somebody needs to wake up to the thought 33:24 what's going on right now. 33:25 You don't want that power back in like it used to be. 33:28 That's why people fled to this country, 33:30 because that same persecutions will arise again, 33:33 and it's getting ready to happen. 33:37 To start third point that we talked about here 33:38 which simply calls for Sunday. 33:42 Sunday worship is clearly, 33:43 we need to have laws 33:45 that constitute a Sunday law so we can rest. 33:49 Pope Francis says, notice this, 33:51 "To solve the issues facing us today, 33:54 we must think," notice this, 33:55 "we must think of our self 33:57 of one world with one common plan." 34:01 Did you get it? 34:03 One world which is them as it and one plan which is theirs. 34:06 Somebody needs to wake up that. 34:08 Listen, this time is gonna come, 34:10 it's going to happen for a short period of time. 34:12 Please keep that in mind. 34:13 We're not just saying, 34:15 oh, one of these days it might happen. 34:16 I'm gonna read Revelation 17: 12-13 quickly for you. 34:19 Revelation Chapter what? 34:20 17:12 and 13. 34:23 The Bible says, "And the ten horns 34:24 which thou sawest are ten," what? 34:26 "Ten kings, which received no kingdom as yet, 34:30 but receive power as kings one hour with who? 34:35 With the beast." 34:36 verse 13, 34:37 "These have," how many minds? 34:39 " One mind and shall give their power and strength 34:42 unto the beast?" 34:44 Here we are. 34:45 Every one of the 195 countries 34:47 that signed it beside as it were the papacy itself 34:50 and Palestine which would make a 197. 34:54 Everybody has bowed to the papacy 34:57 on this thing called climate change, 34:59 which we'll induce and come down 35:01 to the bottom line 35:02 that you're gonna have to have one day 35:04 that everything is shut down 35:05 and that day will be Sunday 35:07 and it will be mandated by law. 35:11 Lot of places it has 'cause of Sunday closing 35:14 and I'll say this quickly as I can, people say, "Well, 35:16 there's no such thing as blue laws and Sunday law. 35:18 Man, somebody wake up. 35:20 You realize we've had the right in this world that we know of, 35:23 we've had set blue laws for over 1700 years. 35:28 Did you get it? Why? 35:29 Because the first one was constituted, 35:31 Constantine in 321 AD. 35:33 That was the first Sunday law. 35:36 And ever since we've had blue law, 35:38 what do you think that the car dealerships are closed in here? 35:40 Because they want to be on Sunday? 35:42 No, that's a big sit, could be sale day 35:43 because of the unions because what's behind it right now 35:46 is what we've got to keep these things closed. 35:49 And so we're relying on them. 35:50 Maybe I can say more about that as we go along. 35:52 But, man, it's happening. 35:56 The pope said, you know, when he met with Congress, 35:59 he says, we do not, listen. 36:01 Whoo! 36:02 He said, "We do not want the wound to remain open." 36:07 How does he know? 36:08 What is he talking about here? 36:10 Oh, man, I wish I could. I want to read that. 36:13 Don't you remember that in Revelation 13? 36:16 Revelation 13:3, let me see. Let me listen. 36:19 We're talking about the papacy in Revelation 13:3, 36:22 "And they worshipped the dragon 36:25 which gave power to the beast," 36:27 the devil gave power and seat to this papacy, 36:30 "and they worshipped the beast, 36:32 saying, who is like unto the beast?" 36:34 Listen, 36:35 "Who is able to make," What? 36:37 "Who is able to make war with him?" 36:41 Huh, interesting verse. 36:42 I think it's 12 goes on to say, 12, 36:45 "He exercise all the power of the first beast before him," 36:47 listen, "he causes the earth 36:49 and then that dwell there into worship the beast, 36:52 whose deadly wound was" what? 36:55 "Was healed." 36:57 Deadly wound given to the papacy, 36:58 that's part of identifying who the papacy is, 37:00 to identifying marks and more that you cannot miss it. 37:03 But I said the deadly wound was given, 37:04 pope taken into captivity by General Berthier, 37:07 we realize that 1798 he died, he stripped off there, 37:10 but the Bible said that deadly one would be healed. 37:12 Let me tell you today, 37:13 the deadly wound is being healed. 37:15 It's everything but they're right now, 37:17 and the world will wonder after the beast, 37:19 Revelation 13:8 and they are those 37:21 whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life. 37:23 This is why this is important, Brother Jan. 37:25 This is why it's important. 37:26 Their names are not written in the Lamb 37:28 because they're deceived, because many of us will not go 37:30 and tell what we know 37:32 because for fear of people laughing 37:33 or people saying something, not the way that it is. 37:37 They laughed at Jesus. 37:38 They nailed Him on a cross, He told the truth. 37:44 What are we to do about these things? 37:45 He said, "I don't want the wound to remain open." 37:47 It means, he's gonna try to close it. 37:49 And then we've changed now, we're not like we used to be. 37:54 In order for Sunday laws to pass, 37:55 our religious freedom is gonna be changed, 37:57 you know that? 38:00 Did you know some things if what I'm talking about here, 38:03 we talk about the religious freedom is gonna be challenged, 38:07 and it's going to be changed. 38:08 You know, things like hate crimes 38:10 and so on and so forth. 38:11 You can't pass out certain things. 38:13 You can't say anything anymore. 38:14 You can't, it's gonna hurt somebody else and that goes on. 38:16 And even what? 38:17 The problem with church and state, 38:19 you see, we have a problem. 38:20 You realize that the attorney general, 38:22 right, William Barr, you know what he says? 38:26 He doesn't believe in separation of church and state. 38:29 Why? Because he's a Catholic. 38:31 Did you get that? 38:32 He takes a Catholic position, 38:34 when things come up for a vote on the Supreme Court 38:36 or wherever it might be, 38:37 we'll see some of those judges 38:39 or most of them are Catholic now. 38:40 You're gonna see what takes place. 38:41 He says, you know what he blames? 38:43 He blames secularism for our moral decline. 38:47 And remember what? 38:49 Secularism is defined by him 38:51 as those who agree 38:52 there should be a separation of church and state. 38:55 He said, "I don't agree with that business." 38:58 Well, the pope doesn't agree with that business either. 39:00 Ain't that interesting here? 39:02 It gets pretty heavy as we go here. 39:06 According to Pope Pius IX, 39:09 notice what he says, 39:11 "The church has a right 39:12 to require that Catholic religion 39:14 shall be the only religion of the state." 39:17 They say they have the power to do that, 39:19 did you get it? 39:20 Cursed be those 39:23 who assert liberty of conscience 39:27 and of worship, curse be you 39:29 if you choose to worship God the way you want to. 39:32 That's what they're saying here. 39:34 Remember, what they put down here is here forever. 39:37 Nothing's gonna change it. 39:38 No council, no pope can change what's here. 39:40 They have that belief, but they don't bring it out, 39:42 but it's in their own writings. 39:46 And they go, goes on, he said, 39:47 "And curse be the ones that maintain 39:50 that the church may not employ force." 39:53 That's what they've always done. 39:54 That's what the devil always does. 39:56 He probably force, 39:57 God lovingly calls you into His service. 39:59 According to New York, notice this independent, 40:02 a Roman Catholic periodical, right? 40:05 This is a New York independent. 40:06 This is a Roman Catholic periodical, 40:08 June 12, 1913. 40:10 This was written. 40:12 It says, "The church ever vowed that the deepest hostility 40:16 to the principle of religious liberty, 40:18 which is one of the most wicked delusions 40:21 ever frustrated upon this age." 40:23 Did you get that? 40:26 Religious liberty. 40:28 Catholics were frustrated with that. 40:30 There's only one church and that's us 40:31 and the whole world is going to worship us. 40:35 Listen, Catholic World, August 1877. 40:38 Notice what it says, 40:39 the Roman Church tells us there is little difference 40:42 between Paganism and Protestantism. 40:44 Are you still there? 40:45 For she stated that she would triumph 40:49 over all of them eventually. 40:52 That's exactly what's going on right now. 40:54 And we... 40:55 I wanna say dumb, I think I'll say dumb. 41:00 We're just not aware of what is going on. 41:03 Remember, 41:04 why am I making these statements here 41:05 because I'm gonna read this one here, 41:07 maybe you'll understand a little more if you don't. 41:09 This is from the Catholic World, 41:10 June 1871, page 422 and 423. 41:15 "All dogmatic degrees of the pope, 41:17 listen, are infallible. 41:20 Once made, no pope, 41:23 no council can reverse them." 41:25 The church cannot err in faith. 41:28 The church cannot err. Did you get that? 41:30 Once they made these things, they're not erring. 41:32 Did you get it? 41:33 Catholic register goes on and says this in 1961, 41:36 says this, no, now, 41:38 why can't they make a change? 41:39 For, listen, for such a change would be a denial 41:43 that the Roman Catholic Church is the true church. 41:48 You realize US Supreme Court Chief Justice, that Rehnquist, 41:52 you remember he died in 2005. 41:54 He writes here. 41:56 You know what he said about this, 41:57 someone who sat on the highest court, 41:59 he said right there, Ben, he said, 42:00 "Separation between church and state should be frankly 42:02 and explicitly abandoned. 42:05 How you're gonna get a fair 42:07 ruling with that kind of thought? 42:09 Remember, the Bible predicted this little horn power 42:11 we talked about a while ago. 42:14 He said, it would come up in 538, 42:16 it would last 1260 years. 42:18 The deadly wound would come in 1798. 42:20 We can look that, that's the same power 42:22 as the first beast of Revelation Chapter 13, 42:25 symbolized by the papacy beyond a shadow of doubt. 42:28 The papacy is the man of sin. 42:30 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2, 3 and 4, 42:32 I told you have to write down because I can't slow down. 42:35 Symbolized by the papacy, 42:36 the man of sin in the Bible is the papacy. 42:39 2 Thessalonians 2, 3 and 4, the organization, 42:41 people mince over word, I'm not gonna mince over, 42:43 when I say papacy, you know, it's the whole group. 42:45 There's good people there. 42:46 We understand people that love Jesus, 42:48 but let me tell you, they love Jesus, 42:49 you love Jesus, you're gonna come out. 42:51 When the call is made and you are today in Babylon, 42:53 you will come out. 42:54 When you hear the truth, you will come out 42:56 if you're God's chosen people. 42:58 If you're not, you won't come out, 42:59 you'll stay there and make excuses 43:00 and throw rocks at those who are giving the message 43:02 that's being given for today. 43:04 Look what's happening. 43:05 That's going to bring this Sunday law in. 43:07 Look at it as quickly as we can. 43:08 This is what I remember was. 43:10 President Trump said this, 43:11 "He vows to close the gap between church and state." 43:15 Ah, what? 43:17 And he made reference to the, 43:18 let the religious leaders have a little more freedom. 43:21 They can talk about me in the pulpit 43:22 because they can get votes for me. 43:24 Did you get that? 43:25 Without any fear of losing their 501c3s and all the stuff. 43:28 You follow me? He knew all of that. 43:30 William Barr was, 43:31 he's our attorney general right now, isn't he? 43:33 He said, let's bring, he said, 43:36 "Let's bring back the laws of God." 43:39 Did you get it? 43:41 What would you say on the surface? 43:43 On the surface, I said, 43:44 "Let's bring back the laws of God." 43:46 He's not talking about 43:48 the Ten Commandments law of God. 43:49 He's talking about the Catholic Ten Commandments. 43:52 Did you get it? Their commandments. 43:55 Remember what they did? 43:57 They took out the second, we're not bowing down 43:58 and worshipping idols and so on, 44:00 divided the tenth one into two, 44:03 and they pushed all the others up in the place. 44:05 For instance, we know the seventh day Sabbath 44:06 is the fourth commandment. 44:08 Do we not? That's how God wrote it. 44:11 Pope comes on, papacy comes along. 44:12 He says, I don't care if God put it there. 44:14 And now, it's the third one. 44:16 It says, remember the Sabbath? 44:17 Well that's not the real Sabbath. 44:19 I know that seven days when God said, 44:20 but we're gonna do the first day 44:22 because why? 44:23 That's why, oh, I wish we had time to go into that, 44:24 the Council of Trent. 44:26 I mean my lands of love. 44:27 We win the Council of Trent, 44:28 you're gonna see exactly what was laid out. 44:30 If you look in the history of the world 44:31 and you look from the beginning to the very end, 44:34 there's several marks, 44:35 maybe we'll speak on that one of these days in here, 44:36 things that happen every event, listen, 44:39 every event that took place in history 44:41 that the history has written down and recorded. 44:43 It all came down because of a Sabbath Sunday issue. 44:48 We're talking about way back there. 44:49 Are you still with me? 44:51 Wow, that's heavy duty stuff. 44:56 I know it may sound little tough, you know what? 44:57 But we live in a tough world. 44:59 We live in times where we need to get it right. 45:01 If we don't, we're going to be lost. 45:05 Man! 45:08 United States said, remember, 45:09 we are going to fight extremist. 45:12 Are you an extremist today? 45:14 Are you a secularist today? 45:18 Remember what a secularist is? 45:22 Remember, Jeff Sessions, 45:24 remember he's no longer in that capacity now. 45:26 You know what he said about it. 45:28 If you say you are secularist today. 45:30 He said, you know what? 45:31 He said, "My lands of love, you're dangerous." 45:33 That's his words. 45:34 You're dangerous if you're a secularist. 45:36 That means if you agree 45:38 with the separation of church and state, 45:40 that's how they define it. 45:42 If you say today, you agree 45:44 that the church should be here, state should be here. 45:46 You are secularist, man, you are dangerous. 45:49 That's why the gaps are being closed right now, 45:51 we're in trouble. 45:53 We need some outside help. God help us. 45:55 Sunday law is popping all up over the world. 46:00 The Sunday issue is more and more. 46:01 It's been, we're told, you know, 46:04 that you know, we're gonna need it 46:05 because it's gonna affect society, it's 46:07 affecting businesses, it's affecting family, 46:09 nature, and job, climate change. 46:12 The pope revealed in his encyclical here 46:14 that I have right here in front of me. 46:16 He picked up, he said, you know, 46:17 and then they even mentioned it. 46:18 We realized that Poland is leading the way on what? 46:22 On Sunday blue laws. 46:24 Poland is leading the way 46:26 and they're saying we're setting it up 46:27 so the United States can see 46:28 what we're doing over here and it's gonna work 46:30 and then they're gonna follow after us 46:32 or they're gonna be the leader 46:33 'cause the United States will be foremost 46:34 in passing the big law. 46:38 You say blue laws? 46:39 Listen, blue laws, 46:40 we're talking about in parts 46:42 of this United States of America. 46:44 It's in Canada, blue laws are in Canada. 46:46 That's Sunday closing laws. 46:47 Are you still with me? 46:48 It's in Portugal. It's in Austria. 46:50 It's in Germany. 46:51 It's in Switzerland, it's in Norway. 46:54 Man, it's going around. 46:56 Pope Francis said, "In order to save this world, 46:58 save the climate. 47:00 Sunday law must be in for somebody," listen, 47:04 "Shut things down at least one day a week Sunday." 47:07 This will unite the world, it will unite the churches, 47:10 it will unite all of us together. 47:12 Notice the word he uses in a common cause. 47:15 We heard about this stuff for years, 47:16 but right now it's coming together. 47:18 It's popping like popcorn. 47:20 We can't keep up with it. 47:21 Pope John Paul II in 1998 said this, 47:25 notice this. 47:26 Remember what Rome was wanting is the Protestants 47:29 to come home to the Mother Church. 47:31 She calls herself the Mother Church. 47:36 And this is one way, 47:37 you don't have to believe everything. 47:39 You don't have to go to the church, 47:40 but you follow after what they have done 47:41 which they did Sunday business. 47:43 You follow after that? They think you're one of them. 47:48 Pope John II, 1998, he said it, 47:50 "Therefore," notice this, 47:52 "also in particular circumstances 47:55 and over time," notice this, 47:56 "Christians will naturally strive to ensure that," 48:00 notice, "civil legislation respects the duty 48:04 to keep Sunday holy." 48:06 How do you gonna keep it holy? 48:08 It has to be holy before you can keep it holy. 48:10 Only God had pronounced something holy, 48:12 He said the seventh day is a Sabbath 48:13 of the Lord thy God. 48:15 He blessed and He sanctified and He set it apart but here, 48:18 notice this, legislate is what he said. 48:21 Oh, the pope's coming up, said, we need to legislate it 48:24 'cause you know, people are not go to Paris, 48:26 wants to be, you realize that Paris right now is wanting 48:29 looking at we're gonna forbid driving cars. 48:32 One day we're gonna come on Sunday, 48:34 you can't drive cars because what they're saying, 48:36 the emissions and everything 48:38 that goes on here the gas spent, 48:39 all this stuff that goes on, man, 48:41 it's not gonna save our country. 48:42 If we don't do it, we're gonna go down, 48:43 and people say, "Well, I'm willing to do that." 48:45 Well, it sounds good on the surface, 48:47 but it's going to hurt, 48:48 talking about in religious way. 48:49 Is Sunday observers being agitated? 48:51 Is it being agitated? Absolutely. 48:53 Fox News came on and said made this statement here. 48:56 He said, they said on air. 48:57 Well, they're talking about all the stuff 48:58 we're talking about. 49:00 They said, "Well, let's just make Sunday a day arrest." 49:01 Fox News, New York Time columnist, 49:04 March 2019. 49:06 You hear that, what he's talking a few days ago, 49:08 says, "Maybe it's time to declare a National Sabbath 49:11 means Sunday 49:13 and assess who we are right now." 49:17 They're wanting to come to a head. 49:19 Let's assess who we are right now. 49:21 Maybe it's time that we did pass this law. 49:23 November 2018, author, economist, 49:27 religious scholar 49:29 calls for international weekly day of rest. 49:33 What to combat climate change? 49:35 He's saying, that's what we'll do it. 49:37 Notice his plan. 49:38 Can't really fight this plan, knows what he says except it's, 49:41 what's going on. 49:42 "Stop all production, all productivity, 49:46 activity for about 20% of the year." 49:49 Other words every Sunday, did you get it? 49:52 This would help achieve a shared goal outlined 49:55 in the Paris Climate Conference. 49:57 A Sabbath for ourselves, notice this, 49:59 Oh, it sounds pretty good. 50:01 Sabbath for over self, of industry? 50:02 Oh, it sounds pretty good. 50:03 Our environment, oh, it sounds pretty good 50:05 is a way to correct these failures. 50:09 This is a call for Sunday law, don't you see? 50:13 From the Catechism of the Catholic Church 50:15 this comes, 50:16 "In respecting religious liberty 50:18 and the common good of all," listen, 50:21 "Christian should seek recognition of Sunday 50:24 and the churches holy days, notice "as legal holidays." 50:31 Law, by law did you get it? 50:34 The new Italian government plan was put a ban 50:39 on Sunday shopping 50:42 and it seeks to defend family traditions, 50:44 sounds good on the surface. 50:46 Roman Catholic Church and the unions, 50:48 notice, them working together with unions, 50:50 with the unions we realize 50:51 what cause a time of trouble 50:53 but there's never been on the face of this earth, 50:54 they're behind it. 50:56 That takes a lot of study, maybe to go on to that 50:58 and I'm throwing that out to you, 50:59 you notice what it is. 51:00 Remember the Catholic Church and the union said 51:02 the country needs to keep his traditional day of rest. 51:06 That's Sunday. 51:07 New Jersey mayor said this, 51:09 "Protecting Sunday blue laws 51:11 will be my number one priority." 51:13 January 2018, The Paramus Daily Voice. 51:17 John Adams, remember John Adams? 51:19 He was the second President of the United States 51:22 many, many years ago. 51:23 You know what he said? 51:24 He had said, a lot to say about the Catholic Church, 51:26 he said this, 51:27 "Liberty and popery cannot live together." 51:30 Somebody say amen. 51:31 Somebody shout, somebody do something. 51:33 Liberty and popery cannot live together. 51:35 This is the urgency of what I'm talking about 51:37 because the laws are going to come 51:39 and then where are you gonna find yourself? 51:42 UK, in the UK, United Kingdom consumer poll 2005 said that, 51:47 "Eight five percent of the people said 51:49 they think it's important for a family 51:52 and community life 51:55 to have a common day off each week. 51:59 How much? 52:00 Eighty five percent said, common day off each week. 52:03 There are many who is pushing for Sunday laws. 52:06 They're careful, notice, 52:07 the ones that are pushing for are careful 52:09 to base their arguments on quality of life 52:13 and rather than religious grounds 52:15 because they run into little problems that way, 52:17 but they know how to do it. 52:18 In India, for instance, every... 52:20 I've never heard of anything like this. 52:22 In India every second Sunday is to be a mandatory day off 52:27 for the TV industry. 52:29 Yeah, that comes from thetimesofindia.com. 52:33 Rome focuses on things that are important to all, 52:36 something that appeals to the whole world, 52:38 not just Christians, 52:39 like coming together, values, community, 52:42 relationships, does that makes sense? 52:44 Spirituality, social needs, justice, equality, 52:47 jobs, the earth. 52:48 The Bible said, Revelation 13, a what? 52:50 All the world wondered after the beast. 52:53 My, my! 52:55 US Supreme Court has held 52:56 that blue laws are constitutional 52:58 in case you're saying, well, they're not constitutional. 53:00 Many times this has been before the US Supreme Court, 53:03 its constitutional citing secular basis 53:07 for security for a day, 53:10 a day to help protect workers and families 53:13 and to maintain social stability. 53:16 Labor unions and trade unions 53:18 support legislation of blue laws. 53:21 Supreme Court, 1961, our times run out here, 53:24 ruled out, remember, 53:26 it ruled about a religious day 53:27 and said the state could regulate, 53:29 notice, the Supreme Court said the state could regulate 53:33 in the interest of the public 53:35 safety, welfare and morals, 53:38 and provide a day for family leisure and rest. 53:43 How did they do it? 53:44 They bypassed, you see. 53:46 They bypassed the religious part of it 53:48 and said this is best for the country 53:50 and they can... 53:51 And so now, what, through this we're talking about 53:53 what's going on through climate change. 53:55 They're saying this is best for the country, 53:57 we've got to take one day off, 53:58 we've got to shut everything down. 54:00 We're gonna have to do it on Sunday 54:02 because the pope said so, number one, 54:03 and rest of them doesn't have enough sense. 54:05 Bernie Sanders is running for president right now. 54:08 We stand with the pope, 54:11 about the economy and so on and morality. 54:18 Should know better. 54:20 Nancy Pelosi said, on C-Span 2, 54:23 "President Trump, you dishonored God 54:26 by rejecting the Paris Climate Accord." 54:30 Interesting how God's brought into this, 54:32 young people, think about it, not knowing 54:35 what the issues are fighting for 54:36 what they think is a climate agenda. 54:39 When in reality, they're fighting on the day of the sun 54:41 or Sunday worship. 54:43 You choose. The day is coming. 54:45 It's quickly, it's speeding on right now, 54:47 you have to make that decision. 54:49 I hope it's not too late. 54:50 Don't put it all. 54:51 This is just touching a little bit of the edges 54:53 as we go on for hours with this stuff. 54:55 We cannot do it. 54:56 We can now see events taking place, 54:58 the last scenes of this world history. 55:00 You have to be ready. 55:01 We're gonna have our closing prayer, 55:02 we're gonna have after we come off the air. 55:04 God bless you.
