00:15 This is 3ABN Now with John and Rosemary Malkiewycz.
00:22 Hello and welcome to the program today. 00:24 We're really glad you've joined us 00:25 again for 3ABN Now, aren't we, John? 00:28 Yes, we are. 00:29 And we are continuing our four part series 00:34 with Pastor Danny Milenkov. 00:37 Hello, Danny. Good day, Rosemary. 00:38 Good day, John. 00:39 How are you? Welcome again. 00:41 Thank you so much. Great to be here. 00:42 We're discussing with Danny 00:45 things that are happening in the world 00:47 and where these things are leading to, 00:49 what we can expect just around the corner. 00:52 So if you're wondering what's going on in the world 00:55 and you want to know the future, 00:58 then you stick around and watch this program 01:00 because we're going to discuss it, aren't we Danny? 01:02 Indeed we are. 01:03 And we're going to come to the biblical conclusion. 01:06 That's right. 01:07 So we're trusting in God to tell us. 01:09 You know, we have a theme verse 01:11 or some texts from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6, 01:17 and these are very important texts. 01:19 But before we read them, 01:21 I would like you to bow your head as I pray. 01:23 Father, these are incredible times in which we live. 01:26 We thank You that You have given us 01:28 the Holy Spirit to give us understanding of Your Word. 01:31 And I pray that You will be with Danny 01:33 as he brings out the important aspects 01:36 of the subject we're talking about today 01:38 and then the verses that we're reading, 01:41 that they will become reality. 01:43 We will see clearly 01:44 what you are revealing to us in prophecy. 01:47 So bless this reading now and bless each of the viewers, 01:50 I pray in Jesus' name, amen. 01:51 Amen. 01:53 In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6, 01:56 we read, "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 01:59 ye have no need that I write unto you. 02:02 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord 02:05 so cometh as a thief in the night. 02:08 For when they shall say, peace and safety, 02:11 then sudden destruction cometh upon them, 02:13 as travail upon a woman with child, 02:16 and they shall not escape. 02:18 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 02:20 that the day should overtake you as a thief. 02:23 Ye are all the children of light, 02:25 and the children of the day: 02:27 we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 02:30 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others, 02:33 but let us watch and be sober." 02:35 Fantastic, isn't it? God's trying to tell us. 02:38 It's a very powerful passage. 02:39 Thank you so much for reading that, John. 02:41 And, indeed, this is the theme passage that we have 02:45 chosen because of these three all important words in verse 3, 02:50 peace and safety. 02:52 When they cry, peace and safety, 02:54 then sudden destruction comes upon them like labor pains. 02:57 I also want to just welcome each and every one 02:59 of you to this four part series, 03:01 as Rosemary has pointed out. 03:03 We began this journey by contemplating 03:06 just that a one off program and then I talked to John 03:09 and Rosemary and the team here at 3ABN Australia said, 03:11 "Look, we at least need to do two. 03:13 It's impossible to fit what is taking place right now 03:17 around us just in the last 12 months to try 03:19 and fit that into one program is nigh impossible." 03:22 So we decided to go with two, 03:24 but soon that became an impossibility as well, 03:28 so we moved into three and here we are with four. 03:30 And as I was putting sort of the final pieces 03:34 together for this fourth part, 03:36 I'm like, "We could do another two more, 03:38 there's just so much going on." 03:41 This is number three. This is number three. 03:43 Or even more, Danny, because every day we are seeing 03:46 events unfolding that are incredible. 03:48 Absolutely. 03:50 Once upon a time, I mean, I've been doing these presentations, 03:52 as you know, for a number of years now, 03:53 I've been presenting seminars for about two decades 03:57 since I began. 03:59 At the turn of the millennium, you could say, 04:03 to use that language. 04:04 And what is happening in the world 04:07 now in the space of a week 04:09 was happening in the world in the space of a year, 04:12 two decades ago when I first began. 04:15 So things are happening at a rapid pace. 04:17 They're increasing. 04:18 And it's interesting that the Apostle Paul here, 04:20 he uses the language that Jesus uses 04:22 when it comes to the signs of the times. 04:24 Jesus used the metaphor of labor pains, birth pains, 04:29 and the Apostle Paul uses that as well. 04:31 And as we pointed out in our last program, 04:33 you know, those labor pains just grow in intensity 04:37 and frequency as the birth of that baby draws near, 04:41 so that's what we're finding here. 04:42 So today, once again, we want to take a look at this theme 04:44 of peace and safety and how that connects 04:47 with what's going on right now 04:49 and where things are leading to as the world 04:53 will be brought to a point of decision at the end of time. 04:56 I like in the end of verse 6, he says, 04:59 "Let us watch and be sober, watch and be wide awake." 05:04 Yeah. And so that's what we're trying to be here. 05:07 Indeed, we don't want to be asleep. 05:08 We want to be watchful and sober, 05:11 for we have a more sure word of prophecy, 05:13 as Peter writes in 2 Peter 1:19. 05:16 So we praise God for His sure word of prophecy. 05:18 So, my dear folk, we're going to be going at a rate of knots, 05:22 there's a lot of information to get through. 05:25 I'm just going to be focusing on mainly 05:26 on the headlines to give you a heads up 05:29 and just for you to be able to see 05:31 what is taking place and how that connects with 05:34 the prophecies of the Bible. 05:35 So it's going to be a rapid, 05:37 I hope you've got your seatbelts on 05:39 and you're all strapped in because we've got 05:41 a very exciting journey ahead 05:43 of us in this presentation in this powerful interview. 05:47 Let's take a look at this idea of peace and safety 05:51 and just want to remind you of the United Nations. 05:55 If we go to our first slide, 05:57 the United Nations emblem, okay? 06:00 The United Nations was formed after World War II in 1945 06:04 and it took over from the League of Nations, 06:06 which was established after the end of World War I. 06:10 But obviously, the League of Nations 06:12 wasn't all that successful, because World War II 06:15 came to town. 06:17 And so you have the world there surrounded by olive leaf, 06:21 two olive branches and the olive branch 06:24 is a symbol of peace. 06:25 And notice what it says, "The emblem consists of a map 06:29 of the world, surrounded by two olive branches. 06:32 These two symbols speak for themselves: 06:35 the olive branch is a symbol of peace," 06:38 that's that language from 1 Thessalonians 5:3, 06:41 "while the world map represents 06:43 the Organization in its quest to attain world peace." 06:48 What did the Apostle Paul say? 06:50 "When they say, 06:51 peace and safety, then sudden destruction." 06:55 In other words, there will be a cry of peace 06:58 and safety just before Jesus returns 07:01 and we have that right there in the United Nations 07:06 that is seeking to bring the world together. 07:08 And at no other time in human history 07:11 have we had the world population what it is today, 07:15 at no other time in human history 07:18 have we had more nations gathered together for the sake 07:23 of world peace and unity. 07:24 You know, some 193 countries are part of the United Nations, 07:29 we've never had that before. 07:31 It's interesting how, you know, you're talking about peace, 07:33 the United Nation talks about peace in the earth. 07:36 And in John 14:27, Jesus says, "Peace I leave with you, 07:41 My peace I give unto you not as the world giveth, 07:45 give I unto you." 07:46 Yeah, that's right. 07:47 So the peace that world tries to attain 07:49 is not the peace that God wants us to have. 07:51 That's right. 07:52 So as we go through, you know, this message 07:54 and in particular the next, so we'll discover 07:56 that there are two types of peace. 07:59 There's one that the world is seeking to give, 08:01 there's another one that Christ gives. 08:03 It's interesting that in the year 2000, 08:05 the United Nations rolled out 08:07 the Millennium Development Goals 08:09 and we have them up there on the screen. 08:11 There were eight Millennium Development Goals 08:13 and we mentioned this in our previous program. 08:15 And these goals were to bring about greater peace 08:20 and prosperity for earth's inhabitants, 08:23 especially those who are living in the third world, 08:27 just to really give them a big boost. 08:30 And so we have those eight Millennium Development Goals. 08:34 Which are very nice. Yeah, which are great. 08:35 They're fantastic, great objectives. 08:38 But then in the year 2015, 08:41 another plan was rolled out to continue that journey, 08:45 17 Sustainable Development Goals. 08:49 And as you can see there that subtitle, 08:51 to transform our world. 08:53 And once again, these are fantastic ideals. 08:57 Yes. Fantastic ideals. 08:58 But what we're looking to illustrate, 09:00 we're not like, we're not down on the United Nations, 09:03 for bringing out these goals in order to enable 09:07 people to have a better quality of life around the world. 09:10 And to save lives. Exactly. 09:12 So we're not being negative about this. 09:15 All we're simply doing is we're pointing out what Paul said, 09:18 you know, this cry of peace and safety 09:20 and prosperity is right there before our very eyes. 09:24 So this is telling us that the coming of Jesus 09:26 is not far distant, 09:28 and it's been gathering pace in particular 09:31 since the United Nations was formed 09:33 and in the last 20 years, especially. 09:35 It's just like the name implies, United Nations. 09:39 That's right. 09:40 And it sounds like a good idea because we see 09:43 so much inequality in the world. 09:45 Sounds like a good idea. Amen. 09:47 And it is. 09:48 And, you know, as you pointed out, 09:50 Jesus wants to give us peace. 09:52 And that's been God's plan ever since 09:54 the beginning of time when He created Adam and Eve. 09:57 You know, He created Adam and Eve to enjoy 09:59 life in a garden that was filled with peace, 10:03 and happiness, and joy, and prosperity, 10:06 and so on and so forth. 10:07 And so human beings wanting peace and prosperity 10:13 and happiness and joy and safety, 10:15 that is part of our DNA, we were created for that. 10:18 Yes. 10:19 So, but we're going to see here, 10:21 this will sadly all head in the wrong direction 10:24 and we're going to be dealing with that in our next program. 10:26 But it's interesting that at the moment, obviously, 10:29 we're in the midst of a COVID pandemic. 10:32 But what we are hearing more and more now, 10:36 is what we were hearing before the pandemic 10:39 and that is this existential threat that this world faces, 10:44 which is climate change 10:45 and everything associated with that. 10:47 So I'm just going to run through a few headlines, 10:50 just to help you to know and understand 10:53 what we are looking at and, I mean, 10:55 you should be well familiar with these headlines. 10:57 So the first one comes to us from the Secretary General, 11:02 Ban Ki-moon and back in 2008, I believe that. 11:07 Yeah, he's retired now 11:09 and there's someone else that's taken over that post. 11:11 But it's from the United Nations News, October 7, 2008. 11:15 The headline, Climate change poses defining challenge 11:19 of our time. 11:20 Here's another headline, UN News, once again, 11:23 from the United Nations news website, 11:26 May 15, 2008, "Climate change: 11:28 An 'existential threat' to humanity." 11:31 UN Chief warns Global Summit. 11:34 And here's another one, from The Guardian, 11:36 October 8, 2018, 11:38 "We have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe, 11:42 warns the UN." 11:44 And so, you know, that was 2018 11:47 and they're saying 2030 is a key. 11:49 Here's another one, this one from 2020, 11:53 December 2020, 20, 11:55 Bloomberg, Biden, this is President Joe Biden, 11:59 "Calls climate change 12:01 existential threat of our time." 12:05 Fascinating, fascinating. 12:08 Here's another one, ABC News, September 3, 2021, 12:12 US President Joe Biden says, "Hurricane Ida, 12:16 wildfires show climate crisis has arrived." 12:20 So as we can see, 12:22 we can clearly see 12:25 the ramping up of the rhetoric 12:28 when it comes to this climate change catastrophe, 12:33 this climate change crisis. 12:35 And for some of our viewers, they might not understand 12:37 what that word existential means. 12:40 Yes, I had to look it up. 12:41 Yeah, and I did, too. 12:43 I did too, initially because you hear 12:45 the politicians referring to the climate crisis 12:49 as an existential threat to humanity. 12:53 And it's actually pretty 12:54 simple because it's actually in the word. 12:56 Yeah. 12:57 You know, the word exist, you know, if you exist, 13:00 that means you're here, if you don't exist, 13:02 that means you're not here, 13:03 But there's a threat of existence. 13:04 Exactly right. 13:06 So the threat to human existence 13:08 is what the issue is in regards to. 13:12 So this is really, really fascinating. 13:14 And I mean, what could be more important than human life 13:18 as we know it, coming to an end. 13:20 I mean, you know, the Bible talks about that. 13:24 The Bible talks about, you know, 13:25 life as we know it coming to an end. 13:28 And it will be brought about 13:29 not by the climate change crisis, 13:32 which is very real, 13:34 but it will be brought about by the Second Coming of Jesus, 13:37 when He's going to make all things new. 13:39 So that is really, really interesting. 13:41 And it's interesting that President Biden, 13:46 and this is being shared more and more, 13:48 but his linking very clearly now more and more, 13:52 the catastrophes that are taking 13:54 place in the United States, these natural disasters, 13:58 they are being linked more and more 14:00 with climate change with climate change. 14:03 And it's not just the United States, 14:04 we've got that in Europe, 14:06 you know, we're seeing headlines, 14:07 one in a thousand year flood. 14:09 I don't know if you've seen any of those. 14:11 Yes. But we're seeing them almost every year. 14:13 So how does that work? 14:16 So we can clearly see things are really being ramped up. 14:20 And as we pointed out, you know, 14:21 there's a huge climate change summit this year, 14:26 in November. 14:28 That's right. 14:29 So in 2021, it's going to be a huge summit 14:34 where some great decisions will be made, 14:38 some huge decisions that will implicate, 14:40 you know, all of humanity. 14:42 Well, if President Biden 14:44 is saying these things are already upon us, 14:46 we have to act now. 14:47 That's exactly right. 14:49 That's exactly what they're saying. 14:50 Let's take a look at a couple more headlines. 14:54 Biden hosts global climate change summit on Earth Day. 14:58 That was back in April, April 23, 2021, 15:02 a two day summit in connection 15:05 with the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. 15:08 So we're going to discover that President Biden 15:12 and another individual, Pope Francis are on the same page 15:17 when it comes to this climate change matter. 15:20 Here's another headline. 15:23 World's top three Christian leaders 15:26 call for meaningful sacrifices to combat climate change, 15:31 and this is from Yahoo News, September 9, 2021. 15:36 Fascinating that we have for the first time, 15:40 for the first time, we have the three leaders 15:44 of the three largest Christian denominations, 15:48 Pope Francis, okay? 15:50 The head of, you know, some 1.2 billion Roman Catholics. 15:54 We have the patriarch 15:58 of the Orthodox Church, 16:00 head of some 200 million approximately Orthodox 16:04 Christians around the world, and then we have the leader 16:08 of the Anglican Church. 16:09 And these are the three leaders that signed this document. 16:13 And really, really fascinating 16:15 language that they use in that article. 16:19 Don't have time to read that, but basically, 16:21 in a nutshell, they're saying, 16:22 the time has come that as Christians, 16:26 as Christians and they make up about 1.6 billion Christians, 16:30 as part of their three communions. 16:33 As Christians, it's time for us to be on the front lines 16:38 when it comes to combating this existential threat 16:41 of climate change. 16:43 So that's really, really fascinating. 16:45 And here's another headline, Vatican to host faith 16:49 and science talks to raise stakes 16:51 ahead of UN Climate Summit, that was from Reuters, 16:54 July 17, 2021. 16:56 And so we have, you know, so we have this meeting 17:00 at the Vatican, just before the UN summit, 17:03 with 40 of the world's leading religious figures, 17:07 plus 10 scientists and they're coming together. 17:09 So as you can see, things are really being ramped up, 17:12 we're in overdrive, There's all these religious leaders 17:15 who are going to be getting together in October. 17:17 So we've got the political 17:19 leaders in November at the Glasgow Climate Summit. 17:23 And just before that. 17:25 Just before that, we've got the religious establishment. 17:26 Yes. Exactly. 17:27 So these things are all following one after the other. 17:30 So it's becoming a religious as well as government. 17:33 Exactly right, very good point. 17:34 Very good. 17:36 So we're looking at not only 17:37 is this impacting us from a political point of view, 17:40 but also from a religious point of view and then you have 17:43 the economic side as well. 17:45 You have the social side, you know, obviously, 17:47 the environmental side, so the climate change agenda 17:51 is encapsulating every sphere of life. 17:55 And when you take a look at... 17:56 It's not just to do with scientists and government. 17:58 No, it's not. No, it's not just the science. 17:59 And we don't have time to really unpack everything, 18:03 but when you take a look at those 17 Sustainable 18:05 Development Goals that we looked at earlier. 18:07 When you take a look at each and every one of those, 18:10 you discover that they are dealing with life 18:13 as we know it in its totality, 18:16 you know, the complete way of life. 18:18 Now, it's fascinating to me that God 18:22 foretold in His Word, 18:25 that we would be facing a climate crisis. 18:29 It's in the Word more than 2,500 years ago in the Book 18:34 of Isaiah 51:6. 18:36 Notice what God shared and, 18:38 Rosemary, if you could read that scripture for us, please? 18:39 Yes, I will. 18:41 "Lift up your eyes to the heavens 18:43 and look upon the earth beneath, 18:45 for this heaven shall vanish away like smoke 18:49 and the earth shall wax old, like a garment 18:53 and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner." 18:56 Whoa. 18:58 "But my salvation shall be forever 19:00 and my righteousness shall not be abolished." 19:03 Wow. 19:04 That's talking about the people of the earth 19:05 all dying That's right and the earth waxing old 19:08 like an old garment. 19:10 It's fascinating that the Apostle Paul, 19:12 you know, he uses some of this language in the Book 19:14 of Romans, Romans 8:19-23, 19:17 and I think we have those words up on the screen for us. 19:20 Okay, then I'll read those. 19:21 If you'd like to read those, please, Rosemary. 19:23 "For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day 19:27 when God will reveal who his children really are. 19:31 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God's curse. 19:36 But with eager hope, 19:38 the creation looks forward to the day 19:40 when it will join God's children in glorious 19:43 freedom from death and decay. 19:46 For we know that all creation has been groaning 19:50 as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 19:55 And we believers also groan, even though 19:57 we have the Holy Spirit within us 19:59 and as a foretaste of future glory, 20:02 for we long for our bodies to be released from sin 20:06 and suffering. 20:07 We, too, wait with eager hope for the day 20:10 when God will give us our full rights 20:13 as his adopted children, 20:15 including the new bodies he has promised." 20:18 Now that will be a day. 20:20 Won't that be a beautiful day? 20:22 What a beautiful passage. Yes. 20:23 And it's worth meditating on. 20:25 So here, the Apostle Paul describes our world 20:30 as we're seeing it. 20:31 Groaning. Groaning. 20:33 Yeah, it's interesting, labor Pains. 20:34 Like I haven't experienced them personally, 20:36 but I've been there when my poor wife did 20:39 and there was a lot of groaning. 20:40 There was a lot of groaning. 20:42 And so once again, we've got that same 20:43 language coming through. 20:45 But at the end of the groaning, at the end of the labor pains 20:49 and that bright light at the end of that dark tunnel 20:52 is the birth of that baby. 20:53 And you forget how bad it was. 20:55 Yeah, you do. You do. 20:56 But the spiritual implication is, 20:59 it's the coming of Jesus, that's the bright light. 21:00 Yes. 21:02 And we forget how bad things were on this earth. 21:03 Exactly right. It's fascinating. 21:05 That analogy is just so beautiful and so perfect. 21:07 Now, we want to go to another scripture in Revelation. 21:10 Now, we don't have time to read the entire passage, 21:12 but the passage is up there on the screen from Revelation 11. 21:17 But we want to just take a look at verse 18. 21:19 John, if you could read verse 18, Revelation 11:18, 21:22 and this is in the context of the Second Coming of Jesus. 21:25 That's right. 21:26 And it says, "And the nations were angry 21:29 and thy wrath has come in the time of the dead, 21:32 that they should be judged and that thou should givest 21:35 reward unto thy servants, the prophets, 21:38 and to the saints. 21:39 And then that fear thy name, small and great, 21:43 and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." 21:47 Yeah, so here, John, the Revelator, 21:51 God shows him, it's the revelation 21:54 of Jesus Christ, of course, and God 21:55 has shown him that at the end of time, 21:59 we will find that humans will have the capacity 22:03 and the ability and will indeed seek to be destroying 22:06 this earth because God will destroy those 22:08 who destroy the earth. 22:10 And that's never really been the case. 22:12 For the last 2000 years, like it is, you know, 22:15 in the last, you know, 100 or so years, 22:16 probably the last couple 100 years 22:18 since the Industrial Revolution began. 22:21 And the time of the end began, according to Scripture. 22:24 So it's really fascinating to me that, that this pandemic 22:29 is being seen as an opportunity to reset our world, 22:33 so that we can have a world that is sustainable, 22:37 we can have a world that offers peace 22:41 and safety for all its inhabitants, 22:44 And also hasn't come as a surprise to God. 22:48 No, it hasn't. 22:49 He has told us about it in this book. 22:51 He has told us. 22:52 Indeed, he has told us that this would be 22:54 what would be challenging by in the end of time. 22:56 These are current events in light of Bible prophecy, 22:58 we are seeing them. 23:00 Let me just share a few more headlines with you before 23:02 we continue on with some more scriptures 23:04 regarding this reset, 23:06 regarding this new opportunity that we have. 23:09 Here's Time Magazine, back in November 2020, 23:14 The Great Reset, and notice 23:17 some more from this Time Magazine. 23:19 This is Klaus Schwab who is the leader 23:22 and the one who began the great reset, 23:25 so that began the World Economic Forum back in 1971. 23:30 And he's at the head of the World Economic Forum 23:32 and this is what he writes, "Our goal is achieving 23:35 a better global economic system for all 23:38 and time is quickly running out," he says. 23:40 Here's some more from Klaus Schwab, 23:45 World Economic Forum leader, June 3, 2020, 23:47 "The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window 23:50 of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, 23:53 and reset our world." 23:56 He has some more headlines. 23:57 Once again, Klaus Schwab, this was from, 24:01 I believe, Sky News, 24:04 where they were quoting him as saying, 24:07 "The world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp 24:09 all aspects of our societies 24:11 and economies, from education to social contracts 24:14 and working conditions. 24:16 Every country, from the United States to China 24:18 must participate, and every industry from oil 24:22 and gas to tech must be transformed. 24:24 In short, we need a great reset of capitalism," 24:30 in August 2021. 24:31 I like the picture on that cover. 24:33 If you can bring it back up, 24:34 it shows scaffolding around the world. 24:36 Yeah. 24:37 And there are men climbing on that scaffolding 24:40 to recreate it. 24:41 Yeah. 24:42 But that, you know, that's just. 24:44 God is the Creator. Yeah. 24:45 And God's going to make this world new. 24:48 And it's exciting, isn't it? It is exciting so. 24:49 And man's trying to do it. 24:51 Man's trying to do it. 24:52 Yeah, this sounds like the builders of the Tower of Babel. 24:55 Yeah. 24:56 You know, God gave the promise, 24:58 the promise was in the rainbow, 24:59 but they wanted to build their own rainbow, 25:03 which was the Tower of Babel. 25:04 So we have this tension all the way through. 25:07 It's rebuilding, I think of, 25:08 you know, when people buy a home, 25:10 an old home, they put scaffold, they go outside 25:12 and they make it all look good. 25:14 That's right. And so that's what they're seeking to do. 25:16 So these are good intentions, but fortunately, 25:18 Revelation says it's going to end very badly, 25:21 because it's going to end with coercion and enforced worship, 25:26 which we're going to look at in our next program. 25:28 So let's just take a look at some 25:30 more headlines in connection 25:31 with this great reset initiative. 25:34 Build back better, this was Joe Biden's 25:37 catchphrase for the election that took him all 25:40 the way to the White House. 25:42 Here is another one. 25:44 Pope Francis, as I pointed out, Pope Francis and Joe Biden, 25:47 they are on the same page 25:49 when it comes to the climate change, 25:50 when it comes to, you know, resetting our entire world 25:53 and he tweeted these words, 25:56 "To help our society to build back better," 25:58 there's that phrase again, "inclusion of the vulnerable 26:01 must also entail efforts to promote 26:03 their active participation." 26:05 That was back in December of 2020. 26:09 We have Euronews, June 12, 2021, 26:11 Build Back Better World, G7 leaders 26:14 back developing world spending plan to rival China. 26:17 So this theme of building back better, 26:19 the great reset is continuing. 26:22 Let's keep going with the headlines. 26:23 Okay. 26:25 We have, yeah, we have Prince Charles the heir elect, 26:29 I guess when his mother passes away, 26:33 he'll be taking on board the throne. 26:35 And back in June of 2020, this is what he had to say, 26:38 "As we move from rescue to recovery," 26:42 he's speaking of the pandemic, "therefore, we have a unique, 26:45 but rapidly shrinking window of opportunity to learn lessons 26:48 and reset ourselves on a more sustainable path. 26:51 It is an opportunity we have never had," 26:55 and he goes on, "before and we may never have again. 26:58 We must use all the levers we have at our disposal, 27:01 knowing that each and every one 27:03 of us has a vital role to play." 27:07 And here's one more from John Kerry. 27:10 John Kerry, this is what he had to say, 27:13 he's the US Special Presidential 27:15 Envoy for Climate Change and he said this, 27:18 and he was quoted on Sky News in August 6, 2021. 27:22 These were his words, "The Great Reset will happen 27:24 with greater speed and with greater intensity than a lot 27:28 of people might imagine." 27:31 So these are the headlines and we have just, 27:33 you know, whizzed by the headlines 27:36 and we can clearly see this whole theme of peace 27:39 and safety, building back better, 27:41 as you pointed out, John, that front cover 27:44 of Time Magazine, The Great Reset, you know, 27:47 rebuilding this world, let's get the scaffolding 27:49 and that scaffolding is, 27:51 you know, those 17 Sustainable Development Goals. 27:54 And at the very heart of those goals, 27:56 is we need to take care of our environment. 27:58 You know, it's about people and planet. 28:02 That's right. 28:03 And I think they're going to build it back 28:05 better than God did. 28:06 Yeah, build back better. 28:08 I do remember hearing about a group of individuals many, 28:12 many millennia ago, who chose also to build something. 28:16 Yeah, the Tower of Babel. 28:17 Yes, the Tower of Babel. 28:20 Wasn't it King Nebuchadnezzar that cried out, 28:23 "Isn't this great Babylon that I have built, 28:26 you know, for my power and my glory and so forth." 28:29 So we have man... 28:31 And what happened? It was destroyed. 28:33 Exactly, it was destroyed and so that's really fascinating. 28:36 Now, it's fascinating, this language that is being 28:40 used by our political leaders, you know, 28:41 what John Kerry says, you know. 28:43 And religious leaders. And religious leaders. 28:45 But you know, what did John Kerry say? 28:47 It's going to happen at lightning speed, 28:50 at lightning speed, that those final 28:53 movements to put this great reset into place, 28:56 to build back better, 28:57 this whole thing that we're talking about, 28:59 is going to happen more quickly than most people think. 29:03 I find it fascinating that more than a century ago, 29:06 God's servant Ellen White 29:09 used very similar language to describe 29:12 the final events that would take place on planet 29:15 earth that would usher in the coming of Jesus. 29:17 And here is a powerful statement and I might ask you, 29:20 John, if you want to read it just off the screen? 29:22 Yeah, I can do. 29:24 And it's found in Testimonies, volume 9, 29:27 "We are living in the time of the end. 29:29 The fast-fulfilling signs 29:31 of the times that are clear that the coming of Christ 29:33 is near at hand. 29:35 The days in which we live are solemn and important. 29:38 The Spirit of God is gradually but surely 29:41 being withdrawn from the earth. 29:43 Plagues and judgments are already falling upon 29:46 the despisers of the grace of God. 29:50 The calamities by land and sea, 29:52 the unsettled state of society, 29:55 the alarms of war, are portentous. 29:58 They forecast approaching events 30:00 of the greatest magnitude. 30:02 The agencies of evil are combining their forces 30:05 and consolidating. 30:06 They are strengthening for the last great crisis. 30:10 Great changes are soon to take place in our world, 30:14 and the final movements will be rapid ones." 30:17 Isn't that amazing? 30:19 That's amazing, using the language of John Kerry. 30:23 That exact language and many others that have 30:26 gone before him. 30:27 And so this also reminds us of that labor pains analogy. 30:32 Once again, we come back to that labor pains analogy. 30:36 What did Paul say? 30:37 "When they say peace and safety, 30:39 then sudden destruction comes upon them. 30:41 So, my dear folk, we are literally seeing 30:45 Bible prophecy fulfilled every single day. 30:49 It's not even weekly anymore, it's certainly not monthly. 30:53 But every day we are seeing Bible prophecy fulfilled 30:56 as we turn on our evening news, 30:59 as we open up our newspapers for those of us 31:01 who still open up newspapers, 31:03 or as we click on to our news websites, 31:07 or our Facebook feeds, we are literally seeing 31:11 Bible prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes 31:14 and this is telling us, 31:16 this is telling us that the coming of Jesus 31:18 is drawing nigh, very, very nigh 31:22 and so we're living in very exciting times. 31:23 You sort of wake up in the morning, you think, 31:25 "Oh, Lord, what is going to happen today?" 31:29 And once upon a time, it would be, 31:31 "Ah, I wonder what's going to happen next month." 31:33 Absolutely. "Or next year." 31:35 Now, it's, "What is going to happen today?" 31:37 It's literally almost hour by hour, 31:39 things are changing hour by hour. 31:41 You know, you wake up in the morning, 31:42 the news is like this in the morning, 31:44 when you turn on your evening news at 6 pm 31:46 or whenever you turn it on, things have changed completely. 31:50 It's incredible how quickly things are going. 31:53 Now, the Bible speaks of a coming together, 31:57 the Bible speaks of a coming together in the Book 31:59 of Revelation. 32:01 And so let's go to Revelation Chapter 17. 32:03 Revelation 17:12-14, 32:08 where the Bible here describes the world coming together 32:12 as one for a very brief period. 32:15 So Revelation 17:12-14, please? 32:19 I'll read that. 32:20 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, 32:23 which have received no kingdom as yet, 32:26 but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 32:30 These have one mind, and shall give their power 32:34 and strength unto the beast. 32:36 These shall make war with the Lamb, 32:39 and the Lamb shall overcome them: 32:41 for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: 32:46 and they that are with him are called, 32:49 and chosen, and faithful." 32:51 Thank you so much. 32:53 They're going to make war with Jesus and His people. 32:55 Yeah, so this is right at the end of time. 32:57 One mind. This is right at the end of time. 32:58 Yeah. 32:59 So it's very clear here, it says, "For one hour." 33:01 And when the Bible speaks of one hour, in Bible prophecy, 33:04 one hour is a short time. 33:06 A very short time. 33:07 And one mind, you know, they have one purpose. 33:10 Yes. 33:12 They are united. Yes. 33:13 Sounds like the United Nations to me, John. 33:17 We're all on the same page together, 33:19 build back better together, 33:22 you know, is the theme that we are reading here 33:25 from Revelation, you know, 2000 years ago. 33:28 Now, it's fascinating, that this language of one hour 33:32 and one mind, we find that again, in verse 17. 33:37 If you want to read Revelation 17: 17, please? 33:40 "For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill His will 33:43 and to agree and give their kingdom unto the beast, 33:47 until the words of God shall be fulfilled." 33:50 Oh yeah, was at verse 17? 33:52 They are of one mind, one purpose? 33:55 That was verse 17. 33:57 Yeah, Revelation 17:17. 33:58 So once again, we have one mind and one purpose. 34:00 Yes. 34:02 It says that God is putting their hearts to fulfill 34:04 His will and to agree To agree, yes. 34:07 So you've got the King James there. Yes. 34:08 I've got the New King James, that kind 34:10 of threw me a little bit. 34:11 And it's one mind to agree. They're on the same page. 34:13 They're on the same page. Yeah. 34:14 But isn't it interesting, God is directing their affairs? 34:17 Yeah. 34:18 God is directing, God is allowing, He is sovereign. 34:21 So for those who may be wondering 34:24 what some of the symbolism is, 34:25 we don't have time to unpack it. 34:27 We've done this in future programs that you can access. 34:32 The beast here is in reference to this first 34:35 beast in Revelation Chapter 13, that's also 34:38 described in Revelation Chapter 17, 34:39 the first part, which is speaking 34:41 of the Roman papal system. 34:42 That is this religio-political system, not the people, 34:46 but the system itself. 34:48 And the 10 kings is symbolic of all 34:53 of the world leaders. 34:55 So 10 in the Bible 34:57 when it comes to Bible prophecy, 34:58 10 is a symbol of completeness, it's a symbol of the world, 35:03 it's a symbol of entirety. 35:05 So we have the world leaders, 35:08 giving their authority to the Roman papal system 35:11 that will lead the charge, that will lead 35:13 the world in the establishment 35:17 of this final New World Order that will usher in the final 35:22 worship crisis that will usher in the coming of Jesus. 35:25 So I hope that's clear to you. 35:27 I've kind of really summarized because we don't have time. 35:30 And I want to encourage you to get access to more 35:34 information on this and discover 35:35 the beast and some of these things, 35:38 because that's really important. 35:39 You spoke about those in the past programs. 35:40 Yes, I have. 35:42 You said in the future, but we're going to address 35:43 that in the future. 35:44 But it's the past programs there we... 35:46 John, I'm looking forward to the future when Jesus comes, 35:47 so I've got the future up in my mind. 35:50 But yes, certainly in the past. 35:52 But it's talking about the future. 35:53 It is. Yeah, this is speaking of the future. 35:56 Now, it's interesting in Revelation 18 35:58 and I'll just highlight these verses, 36:00 we won't take the time to read them because we don't 36:02 have the time. 36:03 But in Revelation 18:10, 36:06 there in connection with the fall of Babylon, 36:10 we have in verses 9 and 10, the kings of the earth. 36:14 They are gathered together and they are of one mind, 36:18 according to verse 10. 36:20 At the end of verse 10, it says they are of one mind. 36:23 And then in verse 11, it speaks of the merchants of the earth. 36:26 So we've got the political leaders, the economic leaders, 36:30 both coming together. 36:31 And in verse 17, it says, 36:34 "For they too have one hour in which they rule 36:38 with the beast." 36:40 So the political leaders, the economic leaders, 36:42 they all rule together for one hour. 36:45 And then once again, at the end of verse 19, 36:47 it says, "For in one hour, she is made desolate," 36:51 that is Babylon. 36:52 Babylon comes to an end in one hour. 36:55 So in a very short space of time, 36:58 this end time, New World Order is erected. 37:03 But at the same time, in a very short space of time, 37:06 this New World Order comes to its demise. 37:09 That's why the Bible prophecy is so correct. 37:12 The last movements will be rapid ones. 37:14 Exactly. 37:16 So the rise and the fall of Babylon, 37:18 and Babylon, in case you're wondering, 37:20 and there's a lot of symbolism here. 37:22 And once again, you do need to go back, 37:23 not into the future, but go back to some of the things 37:26 I have shared in the past 37:28 where I've unpacked this symbolism over, 37:31 you know, over a longer period of time in a full presentation. 37:35 But Babylon at the end of time represents confusion. 37:39 It represents rebellion. 37:41 It represents an attack on God 37:44 and His people and His character. 37:48 And Babylon, just like in ancient times past, 37:52 will also fall at the end of time. 37:54 And God is calling His people to come out of Babylon, 37:57 to come out of spiritual darkness and confusion. 38:00 And that reminds us of the words 38:01 of the Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5, 38:05 where he says, "You are not sons of the darkness, 38:07 you are sons of light. 38:09 Therefore, let us be sober and let us watch." 38:11 So at the end of time, God is calling His people 38:15 all around the world in all the different religions 38:18 and those who are not religious to give their honor 38:23 and their glory, and their worship 38:25 and their allegiance to Jesus Christ, 38:28 who alone is worthy to be worshiped, 38:31 for He alone is the one who is the creator, 38:34 He is the one who is the sustainer 38:37 and He is the one who gave His life for each 38:41 and every person to be saved. 38:43 So Babylon at the end of time is describing this whole 38:46 worldwide system that will be led by the Roman papacy, 38:51 in coalition with world governments, 38:54 in coalition with the economic powers of this world. 38:57 So it's going to be all in one, 39:00 but being led by the papal system. 39:04 That reminds me of the little rhyme we used to do, 39:06 all in together this fine weather. 39:09 All in together. That is true. 39:11 And so, you know, the Book of Revelation, 39:14 it speaks of the final climax issue. 39:20 And I might just put up a chiasm up on the screen. 39:23 We've got the chiasm of Revelation, 39:26 the structure of Revelation 39:27 and as far as the most important part of Revelation, 39:32 as you can see there, it's in the middle. 39:34 The climax of the Book of Revelation is the climax 39:38 of the great controversy. 39:40 The last verse there in Chapter 11, 39:43 and the first few verses in Chapter 15, 39:47 up to verse 4. 39:49 So in essence, you have the heart of Revelation, 39:51 which is Chapters 12, 13 and 14. 39:54 That is where the great controversy at the end 39:56 of time in particular is being waged. 39:59 So we don't have time to look at all that, 40:01 but I've just popped that up for our viewers 40:03 so that they can study those three 40:05 chapters that are extremely important. 40:09 And so we have then in Revelation 13, 40:12 and I'm just going to briefly touch on this, 40:13 but in Revelation 13, we have to be. 40:15 So if we go to the heart of the Book of Revelation 40:19 and to that central chapter in the heart, 40:22 which is Chapter 13. 40:24 We discover that there are two beasts, 40:26 there's a first beast and we've already made mention 40:28 of that, that's speaking of the Roman papacy. 40:31 And that's to be found there in Revelation 13:1-10. 40:35 Then we have this second beast that comes up out of the earth, 40:39 that has two horns like a lamb, but speaks like a dragon, 40:43 and this power represents the United States of America. 40:47 So we have the Roman papacy and the United States of America. 40:51 And we don't have time to read through verses 11 to 17, 40:55 in their entirety. 40:56 But we discover that the United States at the end of time 41:01 gives its authority and its power 41:03 and its influence to the Church of Rome to the papal system, 41:08 so that the papal system will roll out 41:11 the initiative that it always has had in mind, 41:15 in order to dominate and lead the world 41:19 and have global dominion. 41:21 And so it's fascinating. 41:23 So maybe, we want to just take 41:25 a look at a few things from this passage in Revelation 13. 41:30 If you could read for me, there is so much in this passage. 41:34 But if you could read verse 11 and 12, please? 41:39 John, if you could read Revelation 13:11-12? 41:43 And verse 11, we read, 41:45 "And I behold another beast coming up 41:47 out of the earth and he had two horns 41:49 like a lamb and he spake as a dragon 41:53 and he exerciseth all the power of the first beast 41:56 before him and causes the earth 41:58 and them which dwell there in to worship 42:01 the first beast whose deadly wound was healed." 42:05 Wow. 42:06 So here we have a description here 42:09 of the second beast that we've identified 42:12 as the United States in Bible prophecy it's very, 42:14 very clear that this is the power 42:17 and the entity that is spoken 42:18 of here in the Book of Revelation. 42:21 And we discover that this power begins lamb like. 42:25 They're those two horns like a lamb and these two horns 42:28 represent both civil and religious freedom. 42:31 That's right. 42:32 Which is what the foundation of the United States was. 42:35 You know, civil and religious freedom. 42:37 But it speaks like a dragon. 42:39 Now, we're going to look at this in just a little bit. 42:41 But the dragon, he has two favorite methods 42:46 that he uses in order to seek to steal, 42:49 kill and destroy as Jesus put it, he's a thief. 42:52 And that is coercion and deception. 42:54 Coercion and deception. 42:57 And the Bible says the United States will use coercion, 43:01 causes the entire world to worship in harmony 43:07 with the Church of Rome's dictates. 43:11 This is phenomenal. 43:12 There'll be an image that will be set up 43:14 and we're going to look at that in just a little bit. 43:17 This image reminds us 43:18 of this image in Daniel Chapter 3 that was set up, 43:22 where all had to worship this image that King 43:25 Nebuchadnezzar had set up or else. 43:27 You know, and that's there in, 43:29 you know, in verses 14 all the way through to 15, 43:35 verses 14, and 15, and 16, and 17, 43:38 so that's where we have this image to the beast. 43:41 Now, it's fascinating to me that United States 43:44 and the Vatican have been drawing closer 43:48 and closer together just as the Bible predicted they would. 43:51 This was unheard of. Oh, yes. 43:54 Unheard of, of what we're about to share 43:57 and let me address our viewers. 43:59 The headlines that I'm going to share 44:00 with you really briefly now. 44:03 This was considered absolutely impossible, 44:09 impossible, some 200 plus years ago, 44:12 almost 250 years ago in 1776, 44:15 when the Declaration of Independence was made. 44:20 This nation that would be founded 44:22 and grounded on liberty and freedom for all. 44:26 The land of the free and the home of the brave 44:28 as they like to say. 44:29 Here's a few headlines, just to show you 44:31 how these two powers are coming closer together. 44:33 This was the front cover of Time Magazine, 44:37 back on October 15, 1979, after the visit, 44:42 the first visit of Pope John Paul II, 44:45 to the United States of America. 44:46 This is Time Magazine, this is an American magazine, 44:49 newsmagazine. John Paul, Superstar. 44:53 Here's another one. 44:55 This is huge, this is absolutely huge. 44:59 Herald Sun, this is our own newspaper here in Australia, 45:02 April 8, 2005. 45:04 You have on the front cover there, 45:07 three presidents of the United States 45:10 and you have the spouse of George Bush Jr., 45:13 who was the president at the time 45:15 and Condoleezza Rice, five individuals kneeling 45:19 before the dead pope in the Vatican at his funeral. 45:23 Like this was phenomenal, they say a picture tells 45:26 a thousand words. 45:28 This is one of those where a picture tells a million words. 45:30 And so I have that here and I remember 45:33 being in the news agent. 45:36 I remember being in the news agent 45:37 and I saw this and I'm like, "No way Jose. 45:41 This is phenomenal. 45:43 This has never happened before in human history. 45:45 They are kneeling 45:47 before the dead pontiff for five minutes 45:49 offering their respect." 45:51 Three presidents, not one, not two, but three presidents 45:55 of the United States. 45:57 Here's another headline 46:00 from April 14, 2008. 46:05 We have Time Magazine once again, 46:08 why the Pope loves America. 46:10 Why the Pope loves America and there, 46:14 the inside story, the American pope on the eve 46:16 of Benedict XVI first papal visit to the US, 46:19 a revealing look at his long fascination with America 46:23 and how it is shaping his vision for the world. 46:26 Wow, if that is not Bible prophecy in Time Magazine, 46:29 then I don't know what is, John. 46:31 It's just phenomenal. 46:33 Here's another headline from that same magazine, 46:36 this is fascinating. 46:38 Papal diplomacy, once chilly, US Vatican relations 46:42 have grown steadily warmer over the past 50 years. 46:46 And though I read that little statement there on the side, 46:48 you can do that to show you how times have changed. 46:50 Here's another one. 46:53 Kiss the Ring, this was back in June 1, 2015, 46:57 Kiss the Ring in the lead-up to Pope Francis' visit. 47:00 We've got this subtitle, Pope Francis' visit to Washington 47:04 is four months away. 47:06 The jockeying has already started. 47:07 So those who aspired to the presidency, 47:10 they were lining up. 47:12 I'm not sure if we've got any more. 47:14 We do, yes, here's another one. 47:15 Time Magazine, April 12, 2021, Keeping the Faith. 47:19 We have Joe Biden, 47:21 who is on the same page with Pope Francis 47:24 as we've discovered, not the same situation with JFK, 47:28 John F Kennedy, with Pope Paul VI back in his day. 47:33 And notice what we find in this magazine I'm reading, 47:36 and this is what they stated. 47:37 "A framed photo of Biden shaking hands with Pope Francis 47:41 rests on the table over Biden's left shoulder 47:44 as he sits at the resolute desk in the Oval Office." 47:49 And so we have these incredible headlines, 47:52 these absolutely incredible headlines that are telling us 47:55 that what revelations said here, 47:57 we are literally seeing before our very eyes, 47:59 it's in Time Magazine. 48:01 You know, this is a left leaning, 48:05 you know, not a conservative, this is a left leaning, 48:09 liberal magazine, 48:11 worldwide magazine that is showcasing 48:17 what Revelation 13 told us 48:19 would be the case at the end of time. 48:21 The United States 48:22 and the Vatican would draw closer and closer together 48:25 and the United States would lead 48:27 the world in establishing the dictates 48:32 and the plans and the purposes of the papacy globally. 48:37 I like what you've said in one of the other programs, 48:40 this is Time's Magazine and all these headlines are showing us 48:46 the signs of the times. 48:49 Yeah, they are. The Time's Magazine. 48:51 Yeah, they are. Time Magazine. 48:53 Jesus talked about the signs of the times in Matthew 16:1-4 48:56 They're showing us the times. 48:57 You know, Jesus said, you know, be mindful of the signs 48:59 of the times. 49:01 And so we are clearly seeing that, 49:03 and, you know, I think we've got a few moments left, 49:07 we want to take a look at what Revelation has to say 49:10 regarding deception and coercion, 49:12 I mentioned that earlier. 49:14 The enemy's two favorite tactics, 49:17 his methods are deception and coercion. 49:20 And here in the heart of the final conflict, 49:23 we have these two passages. 49:24 So firstly, deception, 49:26 we discover that in Revelation 13:13-14. 49:29 If you could read that for us, please, John? 49:31 Yeah. 49:32 "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come 49:36 down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 49:39 and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means 49:42 of those miracles 49:44 which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, 49:47 saying to them that dwell on the earth, 49:49 that they should make an image to the beast, 49:51 which had the wound by a sword, 49:54 and did live." 49:55 So this power was brought to a low point, 50:00 but now, it's revived again. 50:03 Yes, it is. This power has a resurrection. 50:05 That's right. Has a resurrection. 50:06 And if you want to read Revelation 13:3, John, 50:10 we don't have that scripture up on the screen for you. 50:12 But if you want to read Revelation 13:3, 50:14 describes this resurrection. 50:16 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, 50:19 and his deadly wound was healed: 50:21 and all the world wondered after the beast." 50:25 How much of the world? All the world. 50:26 All the world followed after the beast. 50:29 And you can see that's going to happen because America 50:31 is a very influential nation. 50:33 Well, it's the most influential nation on the planet by none. 50:36 You know, they talk about China rising and yes China is rising, 50:40 but you cannot compare the Chinese military, 50:43 the Chinese, you know, economy and influence socially 50:48 and in other ways with the United States of America. 50:50 When you put that whole packaged deal together... 50:53 You can see. 50:54 You know the influence around the world, 50:56 I mean the United States 50:58 is the lone super power in the world 51:00 and the Bible says it will remain 51:02 so until the end of time. 51:05 So as China is rising, that means that the end 51:08 is coming very soon because we don't have China in scripture, 51:13 in Bible prophecy as taking over 51:16 the mantle for the world's leading 51:17 super power from the United States of America, 51:20 we don't have that. 51:22 It just shows us how close we are. We are very, very close. 51:24 We are very close, so that's another sign. 51:26 And if you want to read the next passage, please. 51:28 So we've looked at deception here through signs and wonders 51:32 and even bringing fire down from heaven. 51:35 Verses 15, 16 and 17, please? 51:38 Okay. 51:40 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, 51:43 that the image of the beast should both speak, 51:45 and cause that as many as would not worship 51:48 the image of the beast should be killed. 51:52 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, 51:55 free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, 51:58 or in their foreheads: 52:00 And that no man might buy or sell, 52:03 save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, 52:07 or the number of his name." 52:09 Wow. So here we have coercion. 52:12 Buying and selling 52:13 and even a death decree for those who are not 52:16 willing to go along with this worship 52:19 mandate that will go through the world like a pandemic, 52:23 like a tsunami. 52:25 So we're going to look at what this all 52:26 is in our next program, but it's interesting to see 52:29 how things are being set up. 52:30 It just shows you how powerful these people 52:34 who are doing this is going to be. 52:36 That's right, and they're on the same page. 52:38 They're on the same page. 52:39 So it's really, really fascinating to see that. 52:41 United. Indeed, indeed. 52:44 And, you know, as we continue to look at the passage here, 52:49 we discover that this will be worldwide. 52:53 Yep. 52:55 And we know that because in 52:58 Revelation 13:16-17, there it says, 53:02 you know, all will be implicated, 53:04 you know, the rich and the poor, 53:07 the free and the slave, the small and the great. 53:12 Yep. You know, everyone is implicated. 53:15 As we think about what Pastor Danny has just said 53:19 and has just read from the Bible, 53:21 all will be implicated. 53:24 It's time that we have to cut into this and go to our 53:26 address roll, 53:28 so we'd love to hear from you 53:30 if you have any questions for Pastor Danny. 53:33 If you would like to make comments on what he is saying 53:36 and even want us to pass on to him your comments, 53:41 we're happy to do that. 53:43 If you want to contact us for anything else 53:44 and make a donation to help this ministry 53:47 continue its work. 53:48 Here are the details where you can reach us. 53:55 If you would like to contact 3ABN Australia, 53:57 you may do so in the following ways. 53:59 You may write to 3ABN Australia, PO Box 752, 54:04 Morisset, New South Wales 2264 Australia, 54:08 or you may call 02 4973 3456. 54:13 That's 02 4973 3456. 54:18 You may also email us at mail@3abnaustralia.org.au 54:23 That's 54:25 mail@3abnaustralia.org.au 54:31 Thank you for all you do to help us 54:33 light the world with the glory of God's truth. 54:38 We hope that you'll contact us 54:39 because we love to hear from you. 54:41 But meanwhile, we're with Pastor Danny Milenkov 54:43 and we've just been talking about how in Revelation 13, 54:47 it says, that people bond and free, great and small, 54:51 it doesn't matter who they are, male or female, 54:55 they will receive the mark of the beast, 54:58 either in their forehead or in their hand 55:00 because they will go along with what is happening. 55:03 And so lead us on from that point, Pastor Danny? 55:06 Well, I thank God, John, Rosemary, 55:08 I thank God that we are not left in the dark 55:13 as to whether, you know, 55:16 all the world will indeed follow. 55:18 We read that in Revelation 13:3, 55:20 you know, the whole world wondered 55:22 and followed after the beast. 55:23 But God, like in the days of Daniel, 55:27 like in the days of Noah, 55:29 like in the days ever since the fall, 55:32 God has always had His faithful people. 55:35 And at the end of time, God will once again 55:38 have His faithful people that worship 55:40 God alone according to what God 55:43 has given to us in His Word, 55:46 and we have a beautiful promise given to us that we can 55:49 cling to and that we can seek to be part 55:51 of in Revelation 13:8. 55:53 So in the very heart of this end time 55:55 chapter in verse 8, Revelation 13:8, 55:58 do you want to read these beautiful words? 55:59 I will because it's a beautiful verse. 56:03 It just goes to show that not everybody, 56:05 there is a small amount compared to the rest. 56:08 A remnant. A remnant. 56:09 Yeah. 56:10 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, 56:13 whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb 56:18 slain from the foundation of the world." 56:21 Wow. Thank you so much, Rosemary. 56:23 My dear folk as we seek to land, 56:26 I want to encourage you to be part of that group 56:28 who have their names written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 56:31 They will not bend the knee. 56:33 They will remain true and faithful to Jesus Christ alone. 56:37 I want to encourage you to be part of that group today, 56:40 right now, give your heart and life to Jesus, 56:43 Jesus is coming soon. 56:45 I really do believe Jesus is coming soon, 56:47 my dear friend, and He wants you to be part 56:49 of His eternal kingdom of love. 56:52 So today, give your heart and life to Jesus, 56:56 place your life in His hands and ensure that your life 57:00 is found in the Lamb's Book of Life. 57:03 And so I want to encourage you with those words 57:06 and there's a book that I want to encourage 57:08 you to get hold of, it's called The Great Controversy. 57:12 Will two former rivals unite? 57:14 This book, written more than a century ago, 57:16 that has all that you need to understand in order to learn 57:20 a whole heap more than what we have had 57:22 time to look at. 57:24 So may God bless you 57:25 and I'm going to continue to keep you in prayer. 57:27 Thank you, Pastor Danny. 57:29 We've been talking with Danny Milenkov. 57:30 We have one more program in this series on this topic 57:34 and I agree with you, get the Great Controversy 57:37 and read that book, it will change your lives. 57:40 It changed mine. 57:41 Until we see you next time, God bless you. |
