Such a blessing to be here with you at 3ABN's Summer Camp 05:33 Meeting 2025. 05:36 My name is Brother Christopher Hudson, and my message for this 05:39 evening is The Final Deceptions. 05:42 And my time is limited, but my information is not. 05:45 And so in the interest of time, I just want to get down to 05:50 business. 05:51 I'd like to invite you, if you will, to have a word of prayer 05:54 with me. 05:55 And just for the next 60 seconds, as it is my tradition, 05:58 I invite you, if you're capable of doing so, to kneel with me. 06:01 And just to pray silently in your heart, to ask for God's 06:04 Holy Spirit to have full reign and control over our minds and 06:09 that we would hear exactly what it is the Lord is seeking to 06:13 communicate to each and every one of us for such a time as 06:16 this. 06:17 And please pray for myself as well that I will be surrendered 06:21 into the hand of the Lord. 06:23 Let's pray. 07:00 Heavenly Father, Lord God of the universe, I give you all 07:06 the glory, all the honor, all the praise because you alone 07:09 are worthy. 07:11 I thank you that you saw fit to call us out of the darkness 07:18 into this marvelous light. 07:21 And you made this way for us at such a great cost to thyself. 07:27 You laid down your life. 07:31 Unworthy as we are, we come to thee in the name of Jesus, and 07:34 we ask of you, Lord, for the forgiveness of our sins and for 07:37 the gift of the Holy Spirit. 07:40 Please open our eyes that we might behold wondrous things 07:44 out of thy law. 07:45 And I am asking, dear Lord, that you'd quicken us from the 07:52 lethargy of sin and help us to realize that now is the time 07:58 not to be getting ready, but to be ready. 08:02 And as I love to claim your promise in Jeremiah 33 and 08:05 verse three, I claim it shamelessly once again, Lord, 08:07 I'm thankful I can't wear you with my words. 08:10 You said call upon me and I will answer thee and I will 08:14 show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. 08:17 And so, Lord, please purge me of my pride, my self-trust, my 08:22 self -righteousness, and take my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my 08:26 being which you fashioned and use them for your purpose this 08:30 evening. 08:31 May your name be lifted up. 08:33 For these things I ask in the most precious name of King 08:36 Jesus. 08:37 Amen. 08:39 I want to invite you to open your Bibles. 08:43 We're going to go to the book of Revelation. 08:47 Revelation, the 18th chapter. 08:51 Once again, we're opening our Bibles together and we're 08:53 looking at Revelation, the 18th chapter. 08:57 And when you arrive there, just let me know by saying amen. 09:02 The Bible tells us in Revelation, chapter 18, 09:05 beginning at verse one, and after these things I saw 09:08 another angel, a mighty angel come down from heaven having 09:12 great power and the earth was lightened with his glory. 09:18 And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying, Babylon, 09:24 Babylon is fallen, is fallen. 09:27 Babylon, that great city, has become the habitation of 09:30 devils, the hold of every foul spirit and the cage of every 09:35 unclean and hateful bird. 09:38 And verse four declares to us that there was another voice 09:41 that came from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, 09:45 that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not 09:48 her plagues. 09:50 My family members, my friends, right now God is doing an 09:59 amazing work in planet earth. 10:03 He's moving upon men and women like you and I to lead lives of 10:11 total submission to his service. 10:14 And there are those even now, and I pray when I say there are 10:18 those, I'm speaking of all of us that are gathered here in 10:21 this place. 10:22 There are many that are listening to the promptings of 10:25 the Spirit of God that are calling us to repentance and 10:31 reformation and transformation. 10:34 And these are individuals that are laying all upon the altar 10:38 of sacrifice so that the purpose and will of the Lord 10:42 might be accomplished. 10:44 God is purging the people so that they might become fit 10:48 vessels into which he might pour out the fullness of his 10:53 Holy Spirit. 10:55 And it is this impartation of the Spirit of God, this 10:59 fullness of his presence inhabiting men and women that 11:04 is going to result in this loud cry that we see there in 11:08 Revelation chapter 18 verses one and two. 11:10 Men and women that are so filled with the presence of the 11:14 Lord that this earth will be lightened with the glory of 11:18 God. 11:19 All the inhabitants of planet earth will have an opportunity 11:22 to see a practical revelation of the character of the creator 11:27 in men and women like ourselves. 11:30 The Bible tells us that when this happens in the book of 11:32 Daniel chapter 12 and verse 3, they that be wise shall shine 11:37 as the brightness of the firmament. 11:39 And those that turn many to righteousness as the stars 11:43 forever and ever, God's people will go forth with their faces 11:47 lighted up, beaming with the glory of God, declaring, come 11:52 out of Babylon, come into Jesus. 11:58 Come under the banner of salvation. 12:04 Friends, this loud cry is right now increasing in volume and is 12:13 getting ready to get so loud that it is going to shake the 12:18 very foundation of Babylon until it all comes crumbling 12:22 down. 12:26 But as this work goes forward, the devil and his angels are 12:32 not going to allow it to take place without violent 12:38 opposition. 12:45 Babylon is going to make one final thrust to hold men and 12:51 women in deception until probation is closed and it is 12:55 too late for them to receive cleansing from the Lamb of God 13:00 that can take away all sin. 13:03 He's going to make one last charge, if you will, to take 13:09 down the throne upon which the King of Heaven reigns. 13:16 The Bible tells us something about this great city Babylon. 13:19 Run with me in your scriptures, if you will, to the book of 13:22 Revelation, chapter 16, and we're looking at the 19th 13:26 verse. 13:27 In Revelation 16 and verse 19, the Bible tells us something 13:31 about this great city Babylon. 13:33 It says, And the great city was divided into three parts. 13:38 And the cities of the nation fell, and great Babylon came in 13:43 remembrance before God to give unto her the cup of the wine of 13:48 the fierceness of his wrath. 13:50 The Word of God informs us that this massive apostate system of 13:56 rebellion actually is comprised of three divisions. 13:59 Are you following with me? 14:01 And these three divisions are spoken of in detail in 14:05 Revelation, chapter 16 and verse 13. 14:09 The Bible tells us there, and I beheld three unclean spirits 14:12 like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of 14:17 the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false 14:21 prophet. 14:22 For these are the spirits of devil's working miracles, which 14:26 go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to 14:29 gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 14:35 The three distinct divisions of this great city Babylon are the 14:40 dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 14:43 And though externally they may appear to be very different, I 14:48 can imagine in your mind's eye you might see them as being 14:52 distinctly different, but in reality although on the 14:56 exterior they may present themselves as different, at the 15:00 very core of their beings they're all the same. 15:03 How do we know this? 15:05 Because the Word of God tells us in Matthew chapter 12 and 15:09 verse 34 when Jesus was contending with the Pharisees 15:13 He said, O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, 15:17 speak good things? 15:18 For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 15:23 What is in one's heart is made manifest through one's mouth. 15:28 And the Word of God informs us that out of the mouth of the 15:32 dragon, the beast, and the false prophet the same thing 15:35 can be seen, three unclean spirits like frogs. 15:41 So though they may present themselves differently, at the 15:46 heart they're all the same. 15:47 If you're following, say amen. 15:50 And the deceptions that are going to be perpetrated by 15:55 these prophetic powers, these three divisions of Babylon, the 15:59 Word of God says will accomplish one specific agenda. 16:03 These demonic spirits will go forth to the kings of the earth 16:07 and of the whole world, the leading powers of our world, 16:10 men and women in positions of influence that will utilize 16:13 their influence to impact the masses. 16:16 And unitedly the devil is seeking to seduce and beguile 16:21 and ensnare the minds of men and women that they might unite 16:25 with him to fight against God and those that will stand for 16:29 truth and righteousness in the final conflict, the Battle of 16:33 Armageddon. 16:37 The dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 16:41 Now like I stated earlier, internally they're all the 16:47 same, but the deceptions that they will carry out are going 16:52 to be distinctly different in some sense, but they all 16:55 collectively synergistically work together to accomplish one 16:59 specific aim. 17:00 Are you following so far? 17:02 For instance, let's talk about the dragon. 17:04 Who is this dragon? 17:05 Revelation chapter 12 and verse 9. 17:07 I want to speak to you as if you know none of these things 17:10 because if someone here doesn't know, then you will know. 17:15 In Revelation chapter 12, looking at the ninth verse, the 17:18 Bible says, And the great dragon was cast out. 17:22 That old serpent called the devil and Satan, which 17:25 deceiveth the whole world. 17:27 He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out 17:31 with him. 17:36 symbol of the devil himself. 17:38 The devil actually accompanied by his league of fallen angels. 17:43 It's quite interesting. 17:44 Most of the times when you see the symbol of the dragon 17:47 employed for Satan, you'll notice that it's him along with 17:51 his fallen angels. 17:52 Like in the book of Revelation chapter 12, just drop down to 17:55 verse 7. 17:59 Are you there? 18:03 7, And there was war in heaven. 18:04 Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the 18:07 dragon and his angels fought and prevailed not. 18:11 Are you following so far? 18:13 So this dragon primarily is a symbol of the devil, 18:18 accompanied by his league of angels. 18:21 And in case you still don't know who we're talking about, 18:23 the Bible makes it clear, you know him, that old serpent. 18:28 And when you hear those words, that old serpent, it takes your 18:32 mind all the way back to the book of Genesis, doesn't it? 18:35 And so let's go there together, if you will, Genesis chapter 3, 18:38 and let's look at verse 1 at that old serpent. 18:42 In Genesis 3, beginning at the first verse, the Bible tells 18:46 us, Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast to the 18:51 field which the Lord God had made. 18:53 And the serpent said unto the woman, Have God said, Ye shall 18:57 not eat of every tree of the garden? 19:01 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the 19:03 fruit of the trees of the garden. 19:05 But of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, God 19:07 has said, Ye shall not eat it, neither shall ye touch it, lest 19:11 ye die. 19:12 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. 19:17 Deception number 1. 19:19 In the original language from which the scripture was 19:21 translated, the devil is actually emphatically saying, 19:24 You certainly will not die. 19:26 You absolutely will not die. 19:30 The devil was asserting that man possesses something with 19:35 immortality, that man possesses immortality. 19:38 If you're following, say amen. 19:41 And in this immortal state of existence that man would enter 19:44 into, as a result of transgressing the law of God, 19:50 man would be as God, knowing good and evil. 19:55 So man would be mortal, immortal rather, as God, 20:00 knowing good and evil. 20:02 Well think about this. 20:03 The Bible tells us in John chapter 4 and verse 24 that God 20:08 is a spirit. 20:10 And those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in 20:14 truth. 20:17 He was suggesting to her that she would not surely die. 20:20 Certainly she would not die. 20:21 What would happen is she would live as an immortal spirit that 20:25 would know both good and evil. 20:27 She would have information that presently she does not have 20:30 access to. 20:31 She would become omniscient. 20:34 This is where we see the origin of the baleful deception, the 20:41 immortality of the soul. 20:44 That man possesses an immortal soul and at the point of death 20:48 man continues to live as an immortal spirit with unlimited 20:53 omniscient information. 20:55 And friends we see this thing being taught everywhere in 20:57 society today. 20:59 Every video game the player dies comes back again, dies 21:03 comes back again, television shows, family members come to 21:06 visit you and tell you things that you didn't know. 21:10 Matter of fact you can even go down to Walmart and go into the 21:16 game section and pick up a Ouija board. 21:20 Go on Amazon, pick up a Ouija board and the Ouija board is 21:24 something that's fit for all ages so they say. 21:28 And what is it used for? 21:29 People use a little device on the Ouija board to gain 21:34 information to questions that they have and there is no 21:38 booklet that comes with the Ouija board that says you can 21:41 only ask questions within this parameter. 21:44 Like you know you can only ask questions about things that 21:46 happen in America. 21:51 the sun. 21:52 Why? 21:55 the Ouija board are supposed to be all-knowing. 22:00 This deception is going forward all throughout the world today 22:04 and people are being hooked by it line and sinker. 22:09 Why? 22:13 going to cause us to flee in the other direction. 22:17 The word of God tells us in 1 Corinthians, matter of fact go 22:19 with me, 2 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians chapter 11. 22:23 What did I give you in the Bible? 22:24 Where were you going? 22:27 In 2 Corinthians chapter 11 looking at verse 14 the Bible 22:31 says Now of course the immediate context of verse 15 22:51 is speaking of the devil moving on the minds of men that are 22:56 not submitted to the Lord using them as instruments of 23:00 deception to lead people away from the righteousness of Jesus 23:03 Christ to some human-made doctrine that literally leads 23:07 people to their destruction. 23:09 But friends, in the broader scope of that scripture, it's 23:14 also talking about the fallen angels. 23:16 Are you following? 23:19 Because even the Bible tells us, open your Bible quickly if 23:22 you will, the book of Hebrews. 23:23 Hebrews chapter one. 23:24 Where are you going now? 23:27 In Hebrews chapter one, looking at verse 14, the Lord has this 23:31 to say about his angels. 23:32 Hebrews, the first chapter, looking at the 14th verse, it 23:36 says, are not they all ministering spirits sent forth 23:39 to minister unto them which shall be heirs of salvation? 23:44 So God is working through his angels. 23:47 They are ministering spirits and their objective is to 23:51 minister to us, to aid us, so that we might lay hold upon the 23:55 gift of salvation that is offered to us in Jesus Christ. 23:59 But as the devil has made it abundantly clear in Isaiah 14 24:02 and verse 14 that he wants to be like the Most High, he 24:06 counterfeits the work of God. 24:08 Are you following? 24:09 So he sends forth his angels as ministering spirits, not to aid 24:14 us in laying hold upon salvation, but to lead us into 24:18 deception and destruction. 24:24 And friends, they will come to us in beautiful forms. 24:27 You know, when the Lord called me out of the world into this 24:30 marvelous light, I remember just a few short years after I 24:34 was appointed to be a Sabbath school teacher and I was 24:37 working with some early teen young people and I was teaching 24:40 them these things that are spoken of in the scriptures 24:43 like in Ecclesiastes chapter 9 and verse 5 where it tells us 24:47 that a living dog is better than a deadline, for the living 24:50 know that they shall die but the dead know not anything. 24:53 And we were talking about the state of the dead and how man 24:56 doesn't have an immortal soul and all of this information and 24:59 there was one young lady in that group of young people, 25:02 very studious, bright young girl. 25:05 She always was very respectable. 25:07 She was adopted by a very godly, kind elderly couple, her 25:12 and her brother, and she raised her hand and she began to tell 25:15 me something that floored me. 25:18 She said, you know, well, when I come home from school in the 25:22 evenings, there's an old lady that comes and visits with me. 25:26 She sits down with me as I'm doing my homework and she said 25:29 that she's my dead grandmother and she's just always there. 25:34 She talks nice to me. 25:35 She helps me with my homework and then she and then she goes 25:38 away and I'm listening to her astounded because what I just 25:45 knew the theory of she was experiencing in reality and I 25:50 said to this young lady, that is not your dead grandmother. 25:55 That is a fallen angel. 25:57 That is a demonic spirit. 25:58 The next time this happens, I want you to say it is written, 26:06 the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not 26:09 anything. 26:10 You are not my grandmother. 26:12 In the name of Jesus, get thee behind me, Satan. 26:18 The very next Sabbath, one week later at the end of Sabbath 26:21 school, she came to me and she told me how she was visited 26:25 once again by this old lady that was supposed to be her 26:29 grandmother. 26:30 But on this occasion, she said, I did what you told me. 26:34 I said, it is written, the living know that they shall 26:40 die, but the dead know not anything. 26:42 In the name of Jesus, get thee behind me, Satan. 26:45 And she said she did not come. 26:47 The spirit did not come back to her again throughout the week. 26:54 Brothers and sisters, the truth of the word of God is right 26:56 before us and the devil is seeking to allure us away from 27:01 Christ because the objective of these fallen angels coming as 27:06 loved ones, coming as famous individuals that we have 27:09 respect for is to lie to us and seduce us away from the truth. 27:14 The same way as we heard the other evening in the book of 27:17 first Timothy chapter four and verse one, where it tells us 27:20 that the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter 27:23 times, these last days, some shall depart from the faith, 27:26 giving heed to seducing spirits and the doctrine of devils. 27:32 And so how are we going to ascertain as to whether or not 27:37 we are actually interacting with one that is sent of God or 27:40 one that is sent by Satan? 27:42 Will you go with me again in your Bibles? 27:44 We're going to the book of Isaiah chapter eight, Isaiah 27:47 chapter eight and Isaiah chapter eight. 27:51 If you start with me at the 19th verse, Isaiah, the eighth 27:54 chapter. 27:57 Some say yes. 27:58 Some say no. 27:59 I'll just keep going. 28:00 Amen. 28:01 In Isaiah chapter eight, beginning with me at verse 19, 28:05 the Bible says this, and when they shall say unto you, after 28:10 familiar spirits and wizards that peep and mutter, should 28:16 not a people seek unto their God for the living to the dead? 28:21 In other words, this is foolishness. 28:25 And then verse 20 declares to the law and to the testimony, 28:30 if they speak not according to this word, there is no light in 28:37 them. 28:43 this being presents itself to you. 28:47 If that which they are sharing is not according to that which 28:50 is established in the law and the prophets, there's no light 28:55 in them. 28:56 If you're following, say amen. 28:59 That's the deception of the dragon, the work of 29:03 spiritualism, which is founded on the deception of the 29:08 immortality of the soul. 29:11 It is sweeping our world today and we are going to see greater 29:14 manifestations as we are advancing towards the second 29:17 coming of Christ. 29:19 Now we have the issue of the beast and what work he will be 29:23 accomplishing as we press towards the conclusion of the 29:26 great controversy. 29:28 If you go with me to Revelation chapter 13, please, and start 29:31 with me at verse one. 29:32 Verse one, the Bible tells us, An eyed John stood upon the 29:37 sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, 29:40 having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns ten 29:44 crowns, and upon its heads the names of blasphemy. 29:48 Now, friends, a beast in Bible prophecy is a symbol of a 29:54 kingdom. 29:56 This information is set before us if we open our Bibles to the 30:00 book of Daniel. 30:01 In Daniel chapter seven, beginning at the 17th verse, 30:08 the word of God tells us these great beasts, which are four, 30:13 are four kings which shall arise out of the earth. 30:18 Then to give further necessary clarification, if you look down 30:22 at verse 23, the word of God goes on to say, thus he said, 30:28 the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth. 30:34 So a beast in prophecy is a symbol of what? 30:37 A kingdom, a political power, a stately power. 30:41 However, this kingdom that is symbolized as a beast, this 30:46 political power, this civil power that is symbolized as a 30:50 beast, in Revelation 13 and verse one, it is quite unique. 30:55 The reason it is quite unique is because the word of God 30:58 tells us that on its heads is the name what? 31:02 Blasphemy. 31:03 Now a kingdom, this is a civil power, this is a secular 31:08 entity. 31:10 But blasphemy, that is not a secular terminology, that is a 31:15 religious term. 31:16 Are you following? 31:19 So the word of God is informing us that we're not just looking 31:22 at any normal political power, we are looking at a kingdom 31:27 that unites the powers of both church and state. 31:32 And if we even go a little bit deeper with that, the very fact 31:35 that the name blasphemy is on the heads of this political 31:41 power lets us know that the prominent, the primary 31:44 characteristic of this kingdom is that it's religious. 31:48 Are you getting the point right now? 31:51 And in its religion, it engages in blasphemy. 31:56 Now there are two scriptures that I want you to look at with 31:59 me this evening that will help us understand what blasphemy 32:03 can be in the sight of the Almighty. 32:05 Will you start with me in the book of Mark, Matthew, Mark 32:09 chapter two, and look at the seventh verse. 32:13 Mark chapter two, looking at the seventh verse. 32:17 The Bible says there, why doth this man thus speak 32:22 blasphemies? 32:24 Who can forgive sin, but God only. 32:27 So if a man declares that they have the ability to forgive 32:34 another man of their sins, that is the act of blasphemy. 32:38 Now just move forward with me to the book of John chapter 10, 32:43 and we're going to look at the 33rd verse there. 32:46 Once again, Jesus having to deal with the wily Pharisees. 32:51 He told them, you know, many good works have I done, for 32:53 which of these will you stone me? 32:54 And in verse 33, they said to him, for good work we stone 32:57 thee not, but for blasphemy, because thou being a man makest 33:04 thyself God. 33:07 So when a man claims the prerogatives of God, when a man 33:11 claims that they hold the position of divinity and they 33:14 have the ability to forgive or to abolish the sins of another 33:19 man, this is the act of blasphemy. 33:24 So this beast, this political power that unites both church 33:28 and state in revelation chapter 13 and verse one, it must be a 33:33 political power that would set up men as its their 33:38 representatives would be men that would not only claim to 33:41 have the authority of God, but also claim that they have the 33:45 ability to forgive or absolve other men of their sins. 33:50 There is only one system in existence that fits this 33:54 character. 33:58 papacy. 34:00 It is the fact of the matter. 34:01 If you believe it, say amen. 34:04 And the scriptures tell us that there is one marked act, if you 34:09 will, one marked act, if you will, that this power engaged 34:13 in, that in a marked fashion shows that it professes to 34:20 possess the power of the Lord God. 34:22 Are you following? 34:24 Go with me to Daniel, Daniel chapter seven. 34:27 In Daniel chapter seven, this power that we're looking at in 34:31 revelation chapter 13 is represented to us under the 34:34 symbol of a little horn, has eyes of a man, speaks great 34:39 words out of its mouth. 34:41 And in verse 25 of that chapter, the Bible tells us 34:45 there that he shall speak great words against the most high. 34:48 That's blasphemy. 34:49 And he shall wear out the saints of the most high. 34:51 That means he'll persecute those that will not follow its 34:54 dictates. 34:55 And he shall think, he shall think to change times and laws. 35:03 This power fulfilled this prophetic language in the year 35:07 321 A.D. 35:09 When Emperor Constantine the Great, a pagan that nominally 35:15 converted to Christianity of the Romish nature, he made a 35:23 decree for all of the Roman empire to universally rest on 35:29 the day of the sun, Sunday. 35:32 Are you following friends? 35:35 And this is the origin of Sunday observance, Sunday rest, 35:42 which many adhere to today. 35:44 I know many do it sincerely, but nonetheless, it is contrary 35:49 to what is found in the scriptures. 35:52 And the Roman Catholic Church does not hold type lips in 35:57 embracing the fact that, yes, we're behind that. 36:01 In a publication known as the Catholic Reporter that was 36:06 published in 1923 in the city of Toronto, Canada, there's an 36:10 article there, official Catholic publication, in which 36:13 it is stated, the observance of Sunday instead of Saturday is 36:20 an absolutely definitive mark. 36:24 Keyword there, mark of the authority of the Catholic 36:29 Church. 36:35 Sunday, they point to as the mark of their authority. 36:43 Hence the reason why legislating Sunday as a day of 36:50 rest is spoken of in the book of Revelation as the mark of 36:56 the beast, the mark of this power's authority. 37:02 Are you following friends? 37:04 And this lie is being advanced even now. 37:09 Friends, you've heard about the 2025 agenda. 37:11 I know you've heard of these things and how it's codified 37:14 right in there that there is an agenda to make Sunday an 37:18 official day of rest here in the United States of America. 37:21 And friends, whatever happens in America, America sneezes, 37:24 the rest of the world gets COVID. 37:26 Are you getting the point right now? 37:29 It's the way it works. 37:33 And so, immortality of the soul and so-called Sunday sacredness 37:38 are two of the kindred deceptions that are going to be 37:43 sweeping the world, and it's happening even now. 37:48 Which brings us now to the false prophet. 37:52 Go with me, if you will, to the book of Revelation chapter 19, 37:58 and we're going to look at verse 20. 38:01 In Revelation chapter 19, looking at verse 20, the Bible 38:05 has this to say pertaining to the false prophet. 38:08 If you're there in your Bibles, just let me know by saying 38:10 amen. 38:15 prophet, which worked miracles before him, hold on to that, 38:19 which worked miracles before him, have mercy, with which he 38:27 deceived them that received the mark of the beast and them that 38:32 worshiped his image. 38:34 The word of God informs us that the false prophet will be 38:39 responsible for working miracles before the beast, and 38:45 these miracles that performed through the false prophet will 38:49 lead people to pay homage, to give worship to the beast as 38:55 well as its image. 38:58 And when we look in the scriptures, the word of God 39:01 informs us that there is a particular region in our world 39:05 out of which the false prophet will carry out in a very 39:10 prominent sense. 39:12 Go with me to Revelation chapter 13. 39:16 In Revelation the 13th chapter, and we're going to start at 39:20 verse 11, the word of God tells us, and I beheld another beast 39:24 coming up out of the earth. 39:26 What are we looking at? 39:27 A political power. 39:28 Are we together right now? 39:29 Coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, 39:33 but what did it do next? 39:35 And it spake as a dragon. 39:37 We know that a beast in Bible prophecy is a symbol of a 39:40 kingdom, but this kingdom comes up in a desk, comes up, let's 39:46 say, in a vicinity that is distinctly different from the 39:49 first beast that we've looked at this evening, because that 39:52 first beast, the Roman Catholic Church, we saw that 39:55 prophetically it came up out of the sea, and in Revelation 17 39:59 and verse 15 we're informed that the sea is a symbol of 40:04 peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues, so that's a power 40:08 that rose up in a highly populated area. 40:10 Are you following with me? 40:12 But the earth must be the distinct opposite of that, so 40:16 this is a political power, a government, a nation, if you 40:19 will, that's rising up in a populated place on the face of 40:23 planet earth, and as it rises into existence in its infancy, 40:28 the word of God tells us that it has two horns like a lamb. 40:33 Are you following? 40:35 Okay, good. 40:36 Now horns in the Bible are a symbol of power. 40:39 What are horns a symbol of? 40:41 Habakkuk 3 and verse 4 tells us this. 40:43 His brightness was as the light. 40:45 He had horns coming out of his hand, and therein was the 40:48 hiding of his power. 40:50 Horns are a symbol of what? 40:52 Power, good, and these powers, I say powers because there's 40:56 two horns, these powers connected to this government, 41:01 this nation, this kingdom, the word of God says they would be 41:04 lamb -like. 41:05 Now there is only one sovereign lamb, if you will, that is 41:09 spoken of in the scriptures, the great lamb of Bible 41:11 prophecy is none other than Jesus Christ himself. 41:16 In John chapter 1 and verse 29, the word of God tells us that 41:19 John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus, was baptizing and he saw 41:23 his cousin Jesus in the distance and he said, Behold 41:26 the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. 41:29 So the lamb is a symbol of Christ letting us know that 41:33 this nation, as it would come into prominence, it would 41:36 profess to be a Christian nation. 41:38 Are you following friends? 41:41 And for the sake of time, because my time is limited, the 41:44 two powers that are united to this power, this kingdom, that 41:50 would aid it in advancing its so-called, not so-called, but 41:54 its Christian tenets, at least from its inception, would be 41:59 power number one, republicanism, a government of 42:02 the people, by the people, and for the people, and 42:06 Protestantism. 42:10 that it would advance that we should be able to worship the 42:13 Lord our God according to the dictates of our conscience. 42:16 Moreover, they would protest against any power that would 42:19 seek to oppress the consciences of men, specifically speaking 42:22 the Roman Catholic Church. 42:25 Protestants protested against the Roman power. 42:28 Are you following friends? 42:30 But ultimately, this nation, which is none other than the 42:34 United States of America, it would be removed from these 42:39 Christian tenets. 42:40 It would back away from its government. 42:43 It would begin to have mercy, Lord. 42:46 It would begin to make changes in its constitution. 42:50 It would give up its protest. 42:53 It would start putting prominent Catholics in its 42:57 Supreme Court. 42:59 It would start putting prominent Catholics in all 43:02 types of influential positions. 43:04 Matter of fact, it would bring the very figurehead of the 43:06 Catholic Church, the head of the Church, the Pope, to stand 43:09 in the very to stand in the very Capitol building to 43:15 address the 43:19 the representatives of this nation. 43:23 The Word of God says, but one day this nation will turn its 43:27 back on the lamb who is Jesus, whom is the truth, and begin to 43:34 speak like the dragon. 43:36 That means there has to be a change in our core values. 43:40 Remember, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth 43:43 speaketh. 43:46 Friends, if one steps away from the truth into error, there's a 43:50 word for that, apostasy. 43:52 Amen. 43:54 And that is where we get that the false prophet is apostate 43:59 Protestantism. 44:00 Are you following with me? 44:03 And the Word of God tells us that as this apostasy takes 44:07 place, look at verse 12. 44:09 It says that this nation, our nation, the United States of 44:13 America, it says that he will exercise all the power of the 44:16 first beast before him, which was the into one, and it will 44:26 cause the earth and then would dwell therein to worship the 44:30 first beast whose deadly wound was healed. 44:34 Friends, this can only be accomplished when this nation 44:39 unites the powers of church and state, and under the influence 44:43 of the Church guiding the direction of state, there will 44:47 be an enforcing of Sunday worship. 44:52 And people think, oh, this stuff could never happen. 44:55 In the year 2020 and 2021, a friend of mine made a way for 45:00 me to attend some meetings that were called the Reawaken 45:03 America Tour. 45:05 It's a Christian nationalist tour. 45:07 Thousands of people would come to each stop of this tour, and 45:11 individuals like Eric Trump, Michael Flynn, General Michael 45:16 Flynn, Cash Patel, who's now over our FBI, individuals like 45:22 this, Mike Lindell, all of these people were gathered 45:25 there, and I was there as media, so I had opportunity to 45:32 sit down with a host of these individuals and do interviews 45:36 with them on camera. 45:38 And each time I interacted with them, I always made sure I put 45:41 a great controversy in their hand so they could know what 45:44 they need to know. 45:47 But in my interactions with them, I always made sure at the 45:52 end of these interviews that I would ask them a question 45:54 pertaining to the union of church and state because 45:57 there's nothing like hearing it from the horse's mouth. 46:00 And so I would ask them the question, do you think that 46:03 this whole issue of the union of church and state, people are 46:06 making a big deal out of it and it's really nothing to worry 46:09 about? 46:11 Is that the way that our country really should go? 46:13 And without fail, every one of these individuals that I talked 46:17 to said we should have a union of church and state and the 46:22 church should be leading the direction of the state. 46:24 I have it on camera. 46:29 Are you following, friends? 46:31 The word of God is fulfilling even now. 46:35 The only reason we have seen the magnitude of the crisis 46:39 that is delineated in prophetic language in the book of 46:42 Revelation is because Jesus, in his love and in his mercy, is 46:46 pleading his blood over us and saying, Father, hold the winds, 46:50 my children are not ready. 47:01 But the work of the false prophet is going forward even 47:05 now. 47:10 paragraph 1, when the leading churches of the United States 47:13 of America unite upon such points of doctrine as are held 47:16 by them in common to influence the state, to make their 47:21 decrees and sustain their institutions, then, then will 47:25 Protestant America have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy 47:29 and the infliction of will inevitably result. 47:36 It is happening, friends. 47:39 We praise the Lord that He has stationed His four angels at 47:43 the four corners of this earth, saying, Hurt not the earth, 47:46 neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the 47:50 servants of our God in their foreheads. 47:54 We serve a loving God. 47:57 But God is making us aware of these very aggressive, demonic 48:04 deceptions because He does not want us to be disinclined. 48:09 In Matthew 24, in verse 4, will you open your Bibles there with 48:12 me as I'm coming to a close. 48:14 In Matthew 24, in verse 4, when He was asked by His disciples, 48:19 Father, Jesus, when will the destruction of Jerusalem take 48:22 place? 48:23 When will Your coming be? 48:24 What shall be the signs at the end of the world? 48:27 Tell us! 48:27 Tell us! 48:27 Tell us! 48:32 man deceive you. 48:34 For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ. 48:38 And they're not just going to deceive a few. 48:41 They're going to deceive many. 48:43 Look with me again. 48:44 We're looking at Matthew chapter 24, and we're still 48:47 there. 48:48 Look at verse 24 with me. 48:49 If you're there in your Bible, say amen. 48:51 In Matthew 24, looking at verse 24, Jesus says, Mercy, for 48:57 there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, showing 49:01 great signs and wonders that if it were possible, they will 49:06 deceive the very elect. 49:08 I'm so thankful that the Scripture says if it were 49:13 possible. 49:14 The very fact that that statement, if it were possible, 49:18 is introduced in that Scripture, informs us it won't 49:21 be possible. 49:26 Friends, the only way that we will be able to withstand what 49:33 is coming is not by us just sitting down and studying the 49:37 Scriptures and saying, okay, I know immortality, so check 49:39 Jesus when He comes a second time. 49:41 His feet won't touch the ground. 49:42 Check. 49:43 No, friends. 49:45 It's not just a theory of truth that's going to keep us from 49:49 this deception or these deceptions. 49:51 We're going to need something more that is totally of a 49:54 divine nature. 49:58 The only ones that will be able to stand will be the elect. 50:03 We want to be amongst the elect. 50:09 What does it mean to be numbered with the elect? 50:13 Go with me, Romans, Romans chapter 8. 50:16 In Romans chapter 8, Romans the 8th chapter, looking with me at 50:23 verse 33, the Bible says, who shall lay anything to the 50:29 charge of God's elect? 50:33 It is God that justifieth. 50:36 The elect are a people that are justified by God. 50:43 In other words, the elect are a people that God Himself says, 50:48 these are spotless. 50:50 These are clean. 50:53 They are pure. 50:55 They are holy. 50:56 They are mine. 50:58 And no matter what charge that the enemy, the devil himself, 51:02 may bring against us, no matter how much he may try to work to 51:08 bring back to our minds the transgressions that we 51:15 committed against God, the Lord says all these are forgiven. 51:19 These are mine. 51:22 I have chosen them. 51:23 They are mine. 51:28 And the reason why the elect can stand justified in the 51:34 presence of God is because of their faith in Jesus. 51:39 Because our Bibles tell us in Romans chapter 5 and verse 1, 51:44 therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God 51:50 through our Lord Jesus Christ. 51:54 The elect are a people that know all of our righteousness. 51:58 We must be a people that know that all of our righteousness 52:01 are nothing but filthy rags. 52:03 My best day is my worst day. 52:07 No good is in me. 52:09 Every human invention that I can come up with is nothing but 52:13 worthless in the sight of God. 52:14 I need Jesus. 52:16 So Lord, cover me. 52:17 I receive Jesus. 52:20 The elect are a people that look to Christ as the source of 52:24 their wisdom. 52:29 Where should I go? 52:30 How should I raise my children? 52:32 What woman should I marry? 52:33 What man should I stay away from? 52:35 Are you following, friends? 52:36 They look to Jesus as the source of their wisdom. 52:40 They don't depend on their good doing. 52:43 They look to Christ as the source of their righteousness. 52:48 They know they can't purify themselves. 52:50 They look to Jesus as the one that can sanctify them. 52:54 And so, day by day, they find themselves at the edges of 52:58 their bed. 53:02 or in their fields. 53:03 And they're praying, talking to Christ, asking Him, wash me, 53:07 cleanse me, Lord, make me more like Thee. 53:11 I need an experience that is far greater than that which I 53:15 possess now. 53:16 That's the experience that we need to be going through today 53:19 if we want to be a part of the elect. 53:23 They know that only Jesus, the Creator of all things, can 53:26 sanctify me. 53:28 And yes, He not only died to deliver me from the chains of 53:32 sin, but one day soon, I believe that even if I have to 53:39 lose possessions, even if I have to lose family and 53:43 friends, even if I lose my freedom, even if my life is 53:48 threatened, Jesus will come to redeem me. 53:51 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that He shall stand 53:54 at the latter day upon this earth. 53:56 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my 54:01 flesh, some way, somehow, by the grace of God, I will see 54:06 God. 54:09 That's the elect. 54:11 They have an unwavering faith in the fact that Jesus can do 54:15 and will do what He has promised. 54:20 And this faith isn't founded on feeling. 54:22 Feeling is worth nothing, friends. 54:27 This faith is founded on the inherent, infallible, pure Word 54:34 of God, because faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word 54:41 of God. 54:43 And it's not just some of the Word of God, because some of us 54:45 like to do the pick and choose thing with the Word of God. 54:48 I will follow this, but this one... 54:53 I'll keep this one. 54:54 Don't think we really need to focus on that day. 54:58 I'll follow this one, but whether I eat or drink, to 55:01 alter the glory of God, I'll eat what I want. 55:05 God doesn't really care about that, so pick and choose, 55:08 brothers and sisters. 55:12 relationship that we who are striving to be amongst the 55:15 elect can have. 55:18 Our relationship with the Word of God must be like that, that 55:21 was possessed by Jesus. 55:24 In Matthew chapter 4 and verse 4, when Jesus was contending 55:27 with Satan, he said, it is written, man shall not live by 55:30 bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the 55:35 mouth of God. 55:37 That is the type of life we will live by every word that 55:42 proceeds out of the mouth of God, because the just shall 55:47 live. 55:48 By faith, we serve a good God. 55:51 We serve an awesome God. 55:53 We serve an all-powerful God. 55:56 And if we yield our hearts to him, he will do a magnificent 56:01 work in our lives that will make us fit to endure the winds 56:05 of the crisis before us. 56:08 And so his promise to each and every one of us in Revelation 3 56:12 and verse 10 is this, because thou hast kept the word of my 56:16 promise, the word of my patience, I will also keep thee 56:20 from that hour of temptation, which is going to come upon all 56:25 the world to try them that dwell upon the face of the 56:29 earth, those who day by day make the word of God 56:43 the very cornerstone of their existence. 56:49 It is these that the Lord says, you built on the rock, so when 56:55 the winds blow and beat on your house, no worries, you will 57:00 stand firm. 57:03 Here is the patience of the Saints. 57:06 Here are they that keep the commandments of God and have 57:10 the faith of Jesus. 57:12 The question is, is that us? 57:17 Brothers and sisters, tonight, someone here hasn't given their 57:20 heart to Christ. 57:23 Someone here needs to rededicate their life to Jesus. 57:27 Someone watching needs to make a decision for the Savior. 57:31 And if the Spirit is pricking your heart, then you know it's 57:33 you. 57:35 If tonight you want to say, Lord, I recommit my life to 57:39 your service, I want to be amongst the elect, would you 57:43 raise your hand? 57:45 That's my first appeal, second appeal. 57:47 Forgive me, I'm going 10 seconds, Lord. |
