00:01 The Carter Report presents "Living Victoriously",
00:06 Secrets of Success
00:07 from Prime Minister Daniel of Babylon City
00:10 with your host John Carter.
00:25 Welcome back.
00:27 Topic today is about the antichrist
00:29 but there's victory ahead.
00:31 We're talking about Living Victoriously.
00:33 We're so glad that you joined us today.
00:35 So this is a pick up from the previous program.
00:38 Going to turn to Daniel 7:9-10
00:41 because that's where we were talking last time.
00:44 Daniel 7:9-10.
00:46 The Bible says,
00:48 "I watched till thrones were put in place,
00:50 the Ancient of Days was seated," that's God,
00:53 "His garment was white as snow.
00:55 The hair of his head was like pure wool.
00:57 His throne was like a fiery flame,
00:59 its wheels a burning fire.
01:01 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him.
01:04 A thousand thousands ministered to Him,
01:07 ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
01:11 The court was seated, and the books were opened."
01:17 Seems to me that God is very much alive.
01:20 Don't you think?
01:22 Don't count Him out
01:23 because the Bible teaches that God is alive.
01:27 He's actively involved with every person, with you.
01:32 He knows all about us.
01:34 He is not surrendered.
01:36 He loves us with a passionate intensity.
01:40 He's on the throne of the universe.
01:43 God is alive and well on planet earth.
01:48 I guess the philosopher
01:49 who has had the greatest influence on Western thought
01:53 especially in America and Great Britain
01:55 is the German philosopher of the 19th century,
01:58 Friedrich Nietzsche.
02:00 He was a person gave up on God, you know.
02:03 Though he's quoting the Bible all the time
02:05 teaching in class,
02:06 "This is just a story, may be apocryphal."
02:08 But he wrote one day on the blackboard,
02:11 "God is dead, signed Nietzsche."
02:15 But after a while Nietzsche died.
02:17 And so somebody came and wrote, "Nietzsche is dead,
02:21 signed God."
02:23 It helps you to know
02:25 God is going to have the last word.
02:28 He spoke about the wilder power that made us right.
02:31 He was a hater of God and Christianity.
02:34 Hitler loved him. Hitler loved him.
02:36 When he was dying Nietzsche was cared forth
02:38 by his old Christian mother and sister,
02:42 nobody else wanted him.
02:43 As he was dying,
02:45 he was quoting the Bible incessantly.
02:48 Now, just want you to think of that text God on the throne.
02:52 This is the message of Daniel.
02:54 In spite of appearances, in spite of evil men,
02:58 in spite of the antichrist of demonic forces,
03:02 God is still on His throne
03:05 and God's gonna have the final word
03:07 so don't count Him out.
03:09 God is alive.
03:11 I've got a great little granddaughter,
03:14 her name is Armaley.
03:15 And Beverley and I took
03:17 Julie and the family, little Armaley,
03:20 she was I think four on this occasion.
03:22 We were eating out at Westlake Village
03:23 here in Southern California.
03:25 And a little bee came and crawl over the table
03:28 and her mother said, Julie said to her,
03:30 "Armaley, that bee is our friend.
03:32 He helps the flowers to grow.
03:34 So you be nice to the bee."
03:37 Armaley got a knife
03:39 and pushed him off on the floor.
03:41 And when the bee fell on the floor...
03:43 This is awful story,
03:45 I'm telling you this is not to condone it.
03:47 Armaley went up to the bee and stood on it.
03:51 Then she said, "Grandpa, he did now."
03:56 Now some people think God is like the bee.
04:00 They think they can stand on Him
04:02 and they can say, "He dead now."
04:05 But I want you to know, He's not dead.
04:08 Now, you can't get rid of God by standing on it.
04:12 Now look at verse 10 Daniel 7:10,
04:15 "A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him.
04:18 A thousand thousands ministered to Him,
04:20 ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
04:23 The court was seated, and the books were opened."
04:28 Did you know this
04:30 that in the Library of Congress,
04:31 Washington D.C
04:33 have these tremendous words from Tennyson?
04:37 "One God, one law,
04:41 one element,
04:43 one far-off event
04:45 to which the whole creation moves."
04:50 The Bible tells me, history confirms it
04:54 that everything is moving towards a tremendous climax
04:58 when Christ is going to come again to planet earth.
05:03 And look at Daniel 7:11-12.
05:06 "I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words
05:09 which the horn, this king, was speaking,
05:11 I watched till the beast was slain,
05:14 and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
05:18 As for the rest of the beasts,
05:20 they had their dominion taken away,
05:22 yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time."
05:27 The Bible teaches this
05:30 that the antichrist, all evil powers in the world
05:35 will finally be destroyed.
05:38 There will come a day which will be the end of evil.
05:43 That's what the Bible says.
05:45 You ought to be glad about that.
05:47 Look at Daniel 7:13-14,
05:50 "I watched in the night visions,
05:52 and behold, One like the Son of Man,
05:54 coming with the clouds of heaven!
05:56 He came to the Ancient of Days,"
05:58 that's God,
05:59 "And they brought Him near before Him.
06:01 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
06:06 that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
06:10 His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
06:14 which shall not pass away,
06:17 and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed."
06:22 It talks here about a person called the Son of Man.
06:26 That person in the scriptures is called "The Divine logos."
06:33 The Word, in the beginning was the Word.
06:37 He was there a trillion years ago.
06:40 He was the creator of the cosmos.
06:44 And the Bible tells us
06:45 that in this vision the incarnate Son of God
06:51 comes to God the Father,
06:54 and God the Father gives to Him all the kingdoms of this world
06:59 and evil is destroyed.
07:02 Remember the words
07:05 Congress... Library of Congress,
07:08 "One God, one law,
07:11 one element
07:13 and one far-off event
07:16 to which the whole creation moves."
07:21 We are moving in the stream of prophetic time.
07:28 And the next great event in the history of this world
07:31 will be the great Judgment Day.
07:34 Look at verses 15 to 18 in this chapter.
07:38 "I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body,
07:41 and the visions of my head troubled me.
07:43 I came near to one of those who stood by,
07:46 and asked him the truth of all this.
07:48 So he told me and made known to me
07:50 the interpretation of these things."
07:53 Look at it in the Bible,
07:54 "These great beasts, which are four,
07:58 are four kings that shall arise out of the earth.
08:02 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom,
08:05 and possess the kingdom forever,
08:07 even forever and ever."
08:10 This means whatever happens in North Korea,
08:16 whatever happens in the Middle East,
08:19 whatever happens in Washington
08:22 there is victory ahead for the people of God.
08:27 That's what it tells us.
08:28 One great event.
08:31 One of my favorite characters in history,
08:33 of course, is Winston Churchill.
08:37 The black dark days when England was being bombed,
08:42 the great old man went around and gave this sign, victory.
08:48 "Even though it looks like we're getting beaten up,
08:51 I want you to know
08:52 there is victory that is coming."
08:55 That is why we can be optimistic and hopeful.
08:59 And that's why we can have victorious living
09:01 because there is victory
09:03 that is coming for the people of God.
09:06 When I was a boy, I went into the tropics in North Australia,
09:10 I drove a tractor.
09:14 And I can remember in the tropics,
09:17 in the afternoon at 3 o'clock it get intensely hot
09:22 and then a great storm would come.
09:25 You'd hear a muttering, somebody said,
09:29 "I like the sound of God moving the furniture upstairs."
09:33 So God is moving the furniture.
09:36 The thunder is rolling, the lightning is crashing,
09:40 then there would come tremendous tropical storm.
09:43 There is a tremendous storm coming,
09:46 I want you to know this.
09:48 Don't want to be a false prophet
09:50 and tell you everything's going to be just fine.
09:53 The Bible says there's victory ahead
09:55 but firstly there is a tremendous storm.
09:59 Then after the storm,
10:02 wonderful, sky would come out blue.
10:06 No humidity, it's cool, fresh, peace.
10:15 And it's going to be like that after the storm.
10:19 Look at Daniel 7:19 and onwards,
10:23 "Then I wished to know the truth
10:24 about the fourth beast,"
10:26 that's Rome, "Which was different from all the others,
10:28 exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron
10:31 and its nails of bronze,
10:32 which devoured, broke in pieces,
10:34 and trampled the residue with its feet,
10:36 and the ten horns that were on its head,
10:39 and of the other horn which came up,
10:41 before which three fell,
10:43 namely, that horn that had eyes
10:46 and a mouth which spoke pompous words,
10:49 whose appearance was greater than his fellows."
10:53 Keep reading because the Bible tells us
10:56 some amazing things about this.
11:00 Verse 21, "I was watching,
11:03 and the same horn was making war against the saints,
11:07 and prevailing against them,
11:09 until the Ancient of Days came,
11:12 and a judgment was made
11:14 in favor of the saints of the Most High,
11:17 and the time came for the saints
11:20 to possess the kingdom."
11:22 Now the text is pretty plain,
11:26 I want you to think about this.
11:28 Got the fourth beast
11:29 and the fourth beast is the great Roman Empire.
11:34 That's true, that's history.
11:36 Every commentator worth its salt knows this.
11:39 Problem is today we live in an age of superficiality
11:43 especially in the Christian church
11:46 where people want three points in a poem.
11:50 You're not gonna get that here today,
11:51 three points in a poem.
11:53 You're gonna get the ten horns.
11:55 So you got the Roman beast
11:57 and then you got the ten horns
11:59 that represent the break up of the Roman Empire.
12:03 And then the Bible tells us,
12:05 "On the ruins of the Roman
12:08 Empire there arises another great world power."
12:15 And the question is, of course, did it happen?
12:22 Did it happen?
12:25 Who are the ten horns?
12:26 Well, that's Europe.
12:28 Who's the little horn?
12:30 Look at verse 23-25,
12:33 "Thus he said:
12:35 The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,
12:39 which shall be different from all the other kingdoms..."
12:43 That's the Roman power.
12:45 "And shall devour the whole earth,
12:47 trample it down and break it in pieces.
12:52 The ten horns are ten kings
12:55 who shall arise from this kingdom..."
12:57 Ten kings have come out of Pagan Rome.
13:02 "And another shall rise after them,
13:04 he shall be different from the first ones,
13:06 and shall subdue three kings.
13:08 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
13:14 shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
13:17 and shall intend to change times and law.
13:20 And the saints shall be given into his hand
13:23 for a time and times and half a time."
13:30 Now notice,
13:31 put your thinking caps on and concentrate.
13:36 Notice the identification marks of this power that arises
13:42 on the ruins of the Roman Empire.
13:45 Number one:
13:48 It comes out of the Roman Empire.
13:53 So we're not thinking about some power in America.
13:58 Number two:
13:59 It comes from among the kingdoms of Europe.
14:02 It comes up among the ten horns.
14:08 Number three:
14:09 It comes up after the kingdoms of Europe
14:12 and they were settled by about 500 A.D.
14:17 So he comes up into world prominence after 500 A.D.
14:20 And the Bible says, and you notice the words,
14:26 "He shall be different."
14:29 This is a power
14:31 that is different to any other power.
14:35 And when we turn to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
14:40 we are told why he is different.
14:43 "Let no one deceive you by any means,
14:45 for that Day will not come
14:47 unless the falling away comes first,
14:49 and the man of sin is revealed,
14:51 the son of perdition,
14:52 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God
14:56 or that is worshiped,
14:58 so that he sits as God in the temple of God,
15:02 showing himself that he is God."
15:05 This is not atheism.
15:09 This is a power
15:12 that lives inside the church.
15:18 So this is a pseudo religious power.
15:22 Point number five:
15:25 The Bible says, he subdues three kings,
15:29 the Heruli, the Vandals and the Ostrogoths.
15:31 He speaks pompous words
15:33 and makes extraordinary claims.
15:38 He persecutes.
15:40 He is the power that believes
15:42 in the union of church and state
15:44 and believes in the efficacy of persecution
15:49 and torture.
15:51 And that is why every true American
15:55 is opposed to torture
15:59 because it comes from the antichrist.
16:03 Point number eight:
16:04 He tries to change God's law.
16:06 That's another talk.
16:09 And he rules for three and a half years.
16:12 The Bible says, "Time times and half a time."
16:16 And that means three and a half years
16:18 as proven by Revelation 12:6 and 13:5.
16:24 Revelation 12, "Then the woman, or the church,
16:27 fled into the wilderness,
16:28 where she has a place prepared by God,
16:30 that they should feed her there
16:31 one thousand two hundred and sixty days."
16:34 And so the true church is persecuted for 1260 days,
16:39 and in Bible prophecy a day symbolizes a year.
16:45 In the thinking of the Hebrews,
16:48 a day symbolized a year.
16:52 Revelation 13 says,
16:54 "And he was given a mouth speaking great things
16:56 and blasphemies,
16:58 and he was given authority
16:59 to continue for forty-two months."
17:02 And 30 days in a biblical month,
17:04 30 by 42 equals to 1260 days
17:08 or 1260 years.
17:12 Now you say, "I've never heard the like."
17:16 Well, my friend, this is what the founding fathers of America
17:20 taught and believed.
17:23 Let me tell you how it happened.
17:26 And point number 10:
17:28 The Bible says, "He endures to the end."
17:32 He'd last right through history and last to the very end.
17:36 How did it happen?
17:39 The Bible tells me
17:42 and we're going to put up some of it,
17:43 here, here it is, it's great.
17:45 I've got a really super team.
17:48 1260 years that is called by Bible scholars,
17:52 by Catholics and Protestants and Jews and Muslims,
17:56 "The dark ages".
18:00 1260 days, church and state joined together.
18:04 That is why I am so opposed
18:07 to the church getting involved in politics
18:10 and politics getting involved in the church.
18:14 That's the essence in the heart of antichrist.
18:18 May be popular in Washington but it's not popular with God.
18:24 1260 days, this was a time of bloodshed
18:28 and darkness.
18:31 When vast numbers of earnest Catholics and Protestants
18:36 and Jews were butchered
18:39 by a great religious system.
18:43 Man-made religion is generally a very bad thing.
18:47 And then you had at the end of this period,
18:50 The Protestant Reformation,
18:52 and remember they are all Roman Catholics
18:54 as Protestant Reformers.
18:57 You had Great Britain defeating the Spanish Armada
19:00 that was coming to England to set up the inquisition.
19:04 And then you had as a direct result of this,
19:07 my American friends,
19:09 you had the rise
19:13 of the United States of America.
19:20 Now, the boastful pompous king who persecutes represent...
19:26 and we're not talking about people today,
19:29 can you get that?
19:31 We're not criticizing people today,
19:34 we're talking history.
19:37 Man-made religion based on man-made traditions
19:40 that originated on the Roman Empire
19:45 that brought about the Dark Ages.
19:48 That's why the pilgrims,
19:50 God blessed them came to America.
19:54 Most Americans have forgotten their holy roots.
20:01 They think America ought to be like any other country,
20:06 you see.
20:11 They came to escape
20:12 the religious intolerance of the old world.
20:15 They wanted a state without a king.
20:18 They almost got that.
20:21 A state without a king and a church without a pope.
20:26 America became great
20:27 because of her faith in God and the Bible.
20:32 Not her faith in man-made religion.
20:36 With man-made religious laws
20:39 that stifle the spirit of liberty.
20:43 Every true American believes in liberty and freedom for all.
20:50 Now I have here
20:52 which we're going to make available to our partners.
20:56 I'll tell you some time later how we're going to do this.
20:59 This is the Geneva Bible.
21:02 That is America's Bible.
21:06 It came with the Pilgrim Fathers
21:10 on those little boats.
21:14 This, not this exact one...
21:18 That's the Geneva Bible that goes back to 1599,
21:24 America's Bible.
21:28 And that made America great
21:30 with all the seculars telling us today,
21:32 "Get rid of God, get rid of the Bible."
21:35 What they're going to do
21:37 if they succeed
21:38 is take us back to the Dark Ages,
21:45 and a time of hate and persecution.
21:51 Did you know people are ten times better
21:53 when they follow Christ and the Bible?
21:56 I have proof for this.
21:58 It's very controversial, the trouble is, it's true.
22:03 You can go and look this up, look up the corruption index.
22:06 Go and Google it.
22:09 The best countries for honesty,
22:12 the least corrupt countries for honesty
22:15 are those countries
22:18 that embraced the teachings of the Bible
22:22 and the Geneva Bible and the King James Version.
22:27 Got to talk about that more next week.
22:29 You say, "I can't believe that."
22:31 Well, just go and Google it, the corruption index.
22:35 The countries that accepted Christ, the Bible,
22:41 you know the book of freedom, it's the Bible.
22:45 "You shall know the truth
22:47 and the truth shall make you free,"
22:49 said our blessed Lord.
22:50 Look at the verse 26,
22:53 "When all this is finished but the court shall be seated,
22:57 they shall take away his dominion, to consume
23:00 and destroy it forever."
23:03 It's going to come to an end,
23:05 a system of apostasy and a system of oppression
23:09 and a system of man-made religion
23:11 and a system of man-made rules
23:13 that take liberty from people.
23:16 I'm for freedom.
23:18 Verse 27, "Then the kingdom and dominion,
23:24 and the greatness of the kingdoms
23:27 under the whole heaven,
23:29 shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
23:34 His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
23:38 and all dominions shall serve and obey Him."
23:43 So it ends up good.
23:45 God's people will be promoted to glory.
23:50 And if you believe that,
23:51 you can have a spring in your step,
23:55 you can be optimistic, you can be hopeful.
23:59 Did you know that the German soldiers
24:01 on the eastern front who received dreadful wounds
24:06 recovered far better than those who received little wounds.
24:10 You know why?
24:12 Because if you got a dreadful wound,
24:15 it was a ticket to home.
24:18 And they said, "Yeah my legs been blown off
24:20 but I'm going home."
24:23 And those who got little wound, they said, "I'm stuck here."
24:28 Hope saves.
24:32 The death of hope
24:34 always leads to the hope for death.
24:40 But if you believe this great prophecy,
24:42 you know what it tells you,
24:44 it tells you there is a God in heaven.
24:46 This is the evidence.
24:49 This is overwhelming evidence.
24:51 We don't say, "Oh, just believe, just trust."
24:54 No, no, no.
24:56 We say, "Believe in the truth and you've seen the truth."
25:02 You can argue with me,
25:04 but you can't argue with Babylon,
25:05 Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome.
25:07 The break up of the Roman Empire,
25:09 the arise of a great system of church state.
25:13 You can't, and the rise of freedom,
25:16 you can't argue about this.
25:20 Verse 27, oh, we read that, verse 28.
25:24 "This is the end of the account.
25:26 As for me, Daniel,
25:27 my thoughts greatly troubled me,
25:31 and my countenance changed,
25:32 but I kept the matter in my heart."
25:35 Well, all matters will finally be made plain, Daniel,
25:38 so don't fret.
25:40 Here is the conclusion.
25:42 Here it is. Get it.
25:44 The historical fulfillment of prophecy
25:47 is powerful evidence for the honest soul
25:53 that God and the Bible are true.
25:57 Therefore I say in love,
26:01 if you are an unbeliever,
26:05 step out of the darkness,
26:08 step out now and step into the light.
26:13 Step out of the cold
26:16 and step into the sunshine.
26:20 Amen.
26:26 Today, we're starting the Washington DC Project.
26:31 We are going by the grace of God
26:34 to buy time on Washington television.
26:37 And we're going to have messages for our people
26:40 in the White House and on Capitol Hill.
26:44 There's a reason we're doing this.
26:47 And Time Magazine has been the reason
26:50 that we thought of doing this.
26:52 Notice this Time Magazine,
26:54 it says, "Is Truth dead?"
26:59 Apparently, many people in Washington would say,
27:02 "Yes, truth is dead."
27:05 And we can say anything we like
27:08 because truth is dead.
27:11 That's why we have so much fake news today in Washington.
27:17 We're going to be talking truth to power.
27:20 We're going to be talking about the great truths
27:22 that founded this great country.
27:24 We're going to be talking about
27:26 the great undergirding realities
27:30 that were the foundation stones
27:32 of the great American Republic.
27:35 And we want you to support this project.
27:37 If you believe that we should bring a message
27:39 to the leadership in Washington,
27:42 please support us.
27:43 We have no money to do this at this moment.
27:47 We're asking you to send your offerings
27:50 and your money to the Washington Project.
