00:09 In Matthew 24:16, Jesus told the early disciples
00:14 that there would come a time, 00:15 when they had to flee to the mountains. 00:18 Will such a time come again during 00:20 the mark of the beast crisis? 00:22 The answer is yes, and we need to be ready. 00:26 A thousand years before there was a Protestant, 00:28 there were Sunday laws that 00:30 originated in pagan sun worship. 00:32 For centuries, the church rule 00:34 the world until the Protestant Reformation. 00:36 Men like Martin Luther championed 00:38 personal and religious freedom. 00:40 Thousands fled to America to seek freedom 00:42 from religious tyranny. 00:44 Will Protestants and freedom-loving Americans 00:46 fight to keep freedom alive 00:48 or really descend into a modern Dark Age? 00:51 The Sunday Law crisis, like you need to know. 00:55 Episode 5 "When To Head For The Hills." 00:59 Welcome to the grand finale part 5 of a special series 01:02 called The Sunday Law crisis. 01:04 What you need to know. 01:07 The title is called for our final series, 01:09 for our final program is when to head for the hills? 01:13 I'm here with Nick Meissner. 01:15 He's a personal friend of mine, he has a lovely wife name Lisa, 01:19 they both have a little boy named Nathan 01:21 and he knows a lot of about mountains, 01:24 wilderness living and the woods and he also loves Jesus 01:27 and he's a student of prophecy. 01:29 So, Nick, thank you for being my guest 01:32 for the big capstone of this incredible series 01:35 we've covered so much. 01:37 And let me just mention and I have said this before 01:39 that in five programs it's really impossible to cover 01:43 all the details so we're gonna just do our best 01:45 to cover a lot in the next 26 or so minutes. 01:48 We do have a book called "The Great Controversy" 01:51 that will be available at the end of this program. 01:54 It's little commercial and if people want 01:56 to learn a lot more, they can read that book 01:59 and be enlightened about 02:00 what the Bible says about the future. 02:02 So, Nick, just tell us a little bit in introduction 02:05 about your ministry and what you do? 02:08 Well, we are Sustainable Preparedness, 02:10 that's kind of a funny name, what does that mean? 02:12 Well, preparedness, I heard back to one of my 02:16 favorite verses of Scripture, Proverbs 21:31, 02:18 says the horses prepared for the day of battle, 02:21 but safety is of the Lord. 02:23 And so it's God has given us as humans a part to do. 02:28 He always cooperates with us. 02:30 But we don't have the ability to do these things on our own, 02:36 we need God's help. 02:38 And so it's this cooperation of human effort 02:40 plus divine power that is really brought out 02:45 in the word preparedness. 02:46 And sustainable, this is all about, you know, 02:49 you hear so much about preparedness today 02:50 and stockpiling food or water, this or that. 02:54 And I really don't like that whole concept 02:58 for a number of reasons, but one thing is that, 03:01 that folks when they practiced that, 03:03 they are all in the hoarding mindset kind of thing 03:07 and what I like about sustainable preparedness 03:10 is it's where we are able to produce basic necessities 03:14 of life for an ongoing period of time 03:16 as in growing your own food, you know, having a reliable 03:19 water supply that's going to work 03:21 even if you don't have power from the power company. 03:24 And you know, ability to heat your home-- 03:27 Solar power and things like that. 03:28 Yeah, possibly, but especially 03:30 focusing on the basic necessities of life, 03:32 that's what we do is to really try and help folks 03:35 focus on these basic necessities of life. 03:38 Because, you know, I think about Revelation 13:17, 03:42 that there's gonna come a time 03:43 when no man will be able to buy or sell, 03:45 save he that has the mark and so that brings 03:48 this whole concept of basic necessities to my mind, 03:51 and so when I'm talking to folks, 03:53 I say, what would you do right now 03:56 if you could not buy or sell a thing from this point on, 04:00 how would you fare? 04:01 And in today's society that would be catastrophic, 04:05 absolutely catastrophic for almost everyone. 04:08 And this seems like a really new concept, but it's not. 04:11 This is the way that most people 04:13 live just a century ago. 04:15 The specialization of labor has brought this 04:18 about in today's lifestyle where everything is specialized 04:22 and folks are brilliant in one particular thing 04:27 but they're fairly ignorant about the other, you know, 04:30 just taking care of some of their most basic necessities. 04:33 And so you say, you teach people 04:35 how to do some of these basic sustainable 04:37 clearness as a benefit, as we move into the crisis, 04:40 but of course we'll talk about before we're done that there 04:43 comes a point in time where we're gonna wholly rely on God. 04:47 And we just it's not a matter of having a garden or food 04:51 or any of these things. 04:52 When we're at the final moments of history, 04:54 we're just gonna be completely dependent upon Jesus Himself. 04:57 And of course we are now but you're saying that 04:59 He helps us to get ready as much as we can 05:02 so that we can serve Him better for as long as possible, 05:05 before the door finally closes. 05:07 Right and He will not do for us but He's given us 05:09 the power to do for ourselves. 05:11 And so you know, this is just, 05:12 this is throughout the Scriptures, this principle. 05:14 And so that's what we're trying to help folks do to 05:16 get out of today's minds of just assuming that 05:20 these huge corporations 05:22 are always going to provide for our needs. 05:23 And do the things that God has instructed us to, you know, 05:28 to live a lifestyle that's more, you know, 05:32 simple and back to the land. 05:33 It's good for us, good for us spiritually and it's helpful. 05:36 Well, let's get back, let's get to the Bible. 05:37 The texts I read a little bit-- little bit ago talks about 05:40 fleeing to the mountains, 05:42 so that's why I brought you here as our guest. 05:44 Let's look at the whole context here what Jesus is saying. 05:46 This is in Matthew 24, I'm assuming you, 05:48 that is a Bible there you've got your 05:50 scriptures in their, inside your tablet. 05:52 That's right. Matthew Chapter 24. 05:55 And when you study Matthew 24, it's clear that Jesus describes 05:58 the destruction of Jerusalem and events 06:00 surrounding that destruction, and he parallels that 06:04 with events at the end of the world. 06:06 Matthew 24 goes back and forth 06:07 between Jerusalem and the end, Jerusalem and the end. 06:10 And in Matthew 24:15, Jesus told His disciples, 06:15 "When you see the 'abomination of desolation,' 06:18 spoken of by Daniel the prophet, 06:19 standing in the holy place, whoever reads, 06:21 let him understand, then let those 06:23 who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 06:25 Let him who is on the housetop not go down 06:28 to take anything out of his house. 06:29 Let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 06:33 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who 06:35 have nursing babies in those days. 06:37 And pray that your flight may not be in winter 06:39 or on the Sabbath." 06:41 It's Interesting Jesus mentions the Sabbath in this context. 06:44 And then He said, "For then there shall 06:45 be great tribulation, such as has not been since 06:49 the beginning of the world until this time, 06:51 no, nor ever shall be." 06:53 Now, let's just talk about the context of this, 06:57 in the days of Jesus and then we'll tie it in 07:00 with the parallel at the end of the world. 07:01 What's going on here? 07:03 Well, we have Jesus predicting of course 07:07 the downfall of Jerusalem and... 07:10 The destruction of Jerusalem. 07:11 Exactly, its destruction which it happened in, 07:15 you know, stages, it didn't, 07:17 it wasn't something that just boom, 07:19 all happened just like so, but you had the Roman armies 07:22 approach under Cestius I believe it was, 07:26 surrounded the city for no apparent reason. 07:28 They pulled back, then three and half years later 07:31 they come surround the city-- 07:33 Under General Titus. 07:35 Under Titus, and the siege that followed 07:37 was unimaginable where words cannot describe. 07:41 Jerusalem was destroyed, the temple was destroyed. 07:43 I think it was something like a million Jews 07:45 had been taken captive, a lot of people died. 07:47 And I think it's important to realize that the reason 07:49 why God allowed his own city to be destroyed 07:53 was because that was in 70 A.D and what happened prior 07:57 to 70 A.D, was the Jewish leaders 08:00 had made a fateful decision to put to death 08:04 Jesus who ultimately was their Creator. 08:07 And they pressured Pontius Pilate to issue it, 08:09 to give them over, to give Jesus over to the mob 08:12 and so because the Jewish leaders 08:14 really connected with Pilate, who was representing the state, 08:18 he had the Jewish church and the state combining, 08:20 to put to death their Creator. 08:22 It was because of that event which happened 08:25 in the 30s that then in the 70s, 70 A.D 08:29 that's when the Roman armies came and destroyed Jerusalem. 08:32 And Jesus gave His disciples the sign 08:35 that they were to get out at a certain point. 08:38 And that was that first siege. 08:40 The first siege, so when the first army 08:42 surrounded Jerusalem, you mention that 08:44 history tells us that for some mysterious reason, 08:47 they just backed out. 08:49 They planted their banners, made their intentions known 08:52 that they were going to conquer that city and then just left. 08:56 And that was the-- that was Pagan Roman. 08:59 Planted its banner right outside Jerusalem. 09:02 Then they left and before they came back, 09:06 the Christians saw the sign. 09:09 They realized this is a sign 09:10 and they got out and fled to the mountains. 09:13 It's significant that not a single Christian 09:16 died in that siege. 09:18 And you know, why? 09:19 It's because every single one of them headed the sign, 09:24 and they did as Jesus instructed them. 09:26 Exactly, they followed the warning. 09:27 And the sooner they did it, the easier it was. 09:29 If they left right away, the Jewish armies 09:33 who were persecuting them, the Jewish armies were out 09:36 chasing the Romans, if they did as Jesus instructed 09:38 and right then they would have a clear path 09:41 to Pella in the mountains. 09:44 That was a little city that they went to. 09:46 So they fled to the mountains. 09:47 Now, again Matthew 24 deals with parallels 09:50 and Jesus said in verse 15, He said, 09:52 "Who so read let him understand." 09:55 That there is a parallel, and the parallel 09:57 is it in the final days, when religious leaders 10:01 around the world, and the common people 10:04 because of their-- 10:06 because of the deception about Sunday, 10:09 and how important they think Sunday is 10:11 to the health of the planet, to coming back to God 10:14 and to families and everything else that whole part of the-- 10:18 big mark of the beast deception, 10:20 and then what happens as the church 10:21 and the people pressured the government to pass a law 10:25 which really is going against the creator 10:29 just like the Jewish people pressured Pilate to put 10:32 the Creator who was in human form to death, 10:35 so and then the Roman armies came, 10:38 the pagan Roman army, so in the end times, 10:40 we have papal Rome and the people 10:43 pressuring government to pass a Sunday law 10:46 which really is a law against the Creator 10:49 of heaven and earth. 10:51 And that is the-- is one of the final signs 10:54 at the very end that time is almost over. 10:58 And that the final judgments of God are about to drop. 11:04 Right. Coming on the cities. 11:06 That's right, and it doesn't make sense to me, 11:08 that if we, when we get into the final crisis 11:13 of the history of the world, that God will not be 11:15 especially speaking to His people 11:18 about these kind of events. 11:20 That's right. He wants us to be ready. 11:21 And He's always given special revelation 11:25 and instruction to His people during special crisis. 11:29 I just came back just a few weeks ago 11:31 from a very large gathering in San Antonio, Texas, 11:34 right next to the Alamo. 11:36 And it was a general conference session 11:38 of about 65,000 Seventh-day Adventist 11:41 and it was amazing. 11:42 And one day I had lunch with a Vietnamese Pastor 11:46 and this pastor, he said, 11:48 to a group of us that he had, had four visions. 11:52 And that an angel spoke to him specifically 11:55 and told him that time is running out. 11:59 The time is running out. 12:00 And there's a scripture 12:03 in the Book of Acts 2:17 that says, 12:10 "It will come to pass in the last days, says God, 12:13 that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, 12:16 your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 12:18 your young men shall see visions, 12:19 your old men shall dream dreams." 12:21 And He talks about His men servants and maid servants 12:23 that God will pour out His Spirit, 12:25 and especially in the last days this just makes perfect sense. 12:28 And when I think about that pastor having that vision, 12:32 and I've heard other people who have had special visions 12:35 in light of the scripture giving us instruction 12:38 of what to do and I think you have 12:39 a vision that was given to another woman. 12:43 Way back in 1905. 12:46 1905 looking forward to the day, 12:48 when America joins with the papacy, 12:52 violates the principle of separation of church and state. 12:56 Plants its standard in America just like the Roman armies 13:00 planted their standards, and now we've got Papal Rome, 13:03 planting its standard and Sunday is enforced by law 13:06 which is a denial of the fourth commandment, 13:09 remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, 13:11 which is a denial of the law 13:14 of the Creator of heaven and earth. 13:15 And with Jerusalem 13:17 --in Jerusalem's case that resulted in disaster, disaster. 13:21 And in the end times when that finally happens again, 13:24 we can expect the same kind of judgments to fall. 13:27 And you have something to read 13:29 where that was exactly what was revealed. 13:31 Right. 13:32 She said, when I was at Nashville, 13:34 I'd been speaking to the people, 13:35 and in the Night season there is an immense ball of fire, 13:38 that came right from heaven and settled in Nashville. 13:42 There were flames going out like arrows from that ball, 13:45 houses were being consumed, 13:46 houses were tottering and falling. 13:49 Some of our people were standing there. 13:51 It is just as we expected they said, we expected this. 13:55 Others were bringing their hands and agony 13:57 and crying unto God for mercy. 13:59 You knew it they said, you knew that this was coming 14:03 and never said a word to warn us. 14:05 They seemed as though they would almost tear them 14:07 to pieces to think that they had never told them 14:11 or given them any warning at all. 14:13 And you know, when I read that, 14:14 I just think we have to read that 14:17 to the folks that are watching this. 14:18 I don't want them to say that to me. 14:20 Yeah, me neither and people that-- 14:22 those of us that know what Bible Prophecy says, 14:24 what Revelation 13 says, what's coming concerning 14:27 the mark of the beast, and the judgments 14:29 that are to follow, there's the seven last plagues 14:31 described in Revelation 16 that fall on those 14:33 who get the mark of the beast. 14:34 We have to warn people, we have to tell people 14:36 what's coming and point them to the Bible and urge them 14:39 to come to Jesus now before it's too late. 14:42 And she mentioned Nashville, but that's not just 14:45 specifically that that's the only place where these 14:47 kinds of things are going to be happening. 14:49 You know, this is I believe that 14:51 when national apostasy happens, 14:54 we're gonna see national ruin, not just Nashville, 14:57 you know, but on a wide scale. 14:59 That's right. 15:00 The Supreme Court has already made a decision 15:02 against marriage, as described in the Bible. 15:05 Marriage was created by God, established by God 15:08 on the sixth day of creation week. 15:09 And then there's the seventh day 15:11 next where God rested and we are expecting that 15:14 our government and governments 15:16 around the world are eventually going to pass more laws 15:19 that will be attacking the Seventh-day Sabbath. 15:21 And that will be the final, the final actions 15:25 that will tell us that the final judgments 15:27 of God are in the land. 15:29 Now let's go, let's go to Revelation 15:31 and let's look at some of these details. 15:33 Revelation 13:16, tells us that 15:36 "He causes all, both small and great, 15:37 rich and poor, free and bond, 15:39 to receive a mark on their right hand 15:40 or on their foreheads, and that no one may be 15:43 able to buy or sell except the one who has the mark." 15:46 So when the mark is enforced by the American government 15:49 and by governments around the world 15:51 that follow America, 15:53 people won't be able to buy and sell. 15:54 Notice this, we see a crisis coming, 15:57 we see the Sunday law so apparent solution 16:01 to the crisis being really the enforcement of the mark. 16:04 And you see that we won't be able to buy or sell 16:07 right away or do you see this developing, 16:10 this crisis developing as it unfolds. 16:14 As with anything else it happens gradually, 16:16 almost nothing, just happens instantly. 16:18 And so what I can see is a grassroots movement building, 16:23 getting to the point where maybe some people decide that 16:26 that they don't like this class of people, they don't, 16:29 you know, they feel that they're doing the wrong thing. 16:31 And maybe these people on their own decide 16:33 we're not gonna do business with these people. 16:35 And I can see it starting with that sort of a situation, 16:39 just a grassroots movement. 16:41 And people starting to do that and growing and growing and 16:43 as if there's enough support eventually it becomes a law. 16:47 And so I see this coming to situation where it gets 16:49 more and more difficult to buy and sell. 16:52 Finally it's made law and it's impossible. 16:55 Okay, and we often refer to this as 16:57 the little time of trouble right before 16:59 the big time of trouble, when we actually have 17:01 to head to the hills and we'll get to that. 17:05 But I also-- I want to stress that 17:07 when that time comes when the mark of the beast is enforced, 17:09 Sunday is legislated and it's growing to the point 17:12 where people won't be able to buy or sell 17:14 and it's the final, the final issue. 17:16 Revelation Chapter 14, describes 17:19 the third angel's message going out to the world 17:21 at this time by the people of God who have His spirit, 17:25 who have studied prophecy, and who know what to say. 17:28 Revelation 49 says, "The third angel followed them, 17:30 saying with a loud voice, "If any man worship the beast 17:33 and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead 17:36 or in his hand the same shall drink the wine 17:37 of the wrath of God." 17:39 And then it concludes with, 17:40 "Here is the patients of the saints, 17:42 here are those who keep the commandments of God 17:44 and the faith of Jesus." 17:45 And as I look at that part in verse 9, 17:48 about the message going out with a loud voice, 17:51 during the mark of the beast crisis. 17:53 I can't help but think of Jesus when He died on the cross. 17:57 It says Jesus cried with a loud voice, 18:00 and He said it is finished, it is done. 18:02 And I strongly believe, Nick, that when this message 18:05 finally goes out to the whole world during the final crisis, 18:08 during the mark of the beast with a loud voice, 18:10 that at the heart of that loud voice, 18:13 needs to be the loud cry of the suffering of Jesus, 18:18 that He died on the cross because we've broken God's law. 18:20 He died on the cross to pay for all of our sins, 18:23 including our sins of breaking the Sabbath, 18:25 the day of the Creator. 18:26 He's the center of everything. 18:28 And so as we're seeing this crisis unfold, 18:32 we need to be lifting up Jesus, calling people to Him 18:36 and it's gonna be in earnest cry that 18:38 this move on the part of our government 18:41 uniting church and state, enforcing Sunday, 18:44 establishing papal Rome's principles on American soil 18:48 which is going to result in disaster, 18:51 just like the destruction of Jerusalem 18:52 and judgments on cities across America. 18:55 God is going to have a people who give a message 18:58 with a loud cry and Jesus needs to be 19:01 in the middle of that message. 19:04 Absolutely. I'm totally convinced. 19:05 Absolutely, and you know, you're talking about 19:07 how God's people are going to be giving 19:09 a loud cry at that time. 19:11 And I think this is an important fact to bring up, 19:13 a lot of people they think of time of trouble 19:15 or whatever and they just figure, you know, 19:18 curling up next to a fire and watching it happen 19:21 and we don't realize that this is a time 19:23 of intense activity for anyone who is true to God. 19:26 We have a work to do and this is why 19:29 I'm so passionate about this whole concept 19:31 of sustainable preparedness, because when you're dealing 19:34 with a situation where it's getting 19:35 more and more difficult, 19:37 finally impossible to buy or sell, 19:39 it is going to be incredibly beneficial to you 19:43 and to the work that God has given you to do, 19:45 if you were in a position to be able to provide 19:49 for those basic necessities of life. 19:52 You're not only gonna be able to take care 19:53 of yourself and your family and continue the work God 19:56 has given you to do, but you're also gonna be 19:59 in a position to help others, because this is you know, 20:03 disaster is coming upon the land, 20:05 I think we gonna need help. 20:06 So sustainable preparedness helps people 20:09 to be more self-sufficient, so when the crisis hits, 20:12 and people eventually can't buy or sell, 20:15 it just gives us more freedom to be able to spread 20:17 the third angel's message for as long as possible. 20:20 Exactly. As long as possible. 20:22 Now, at some point everybody's going to make their choice. 20:25 Right. And the door is gonna close-- 20:26 To the Ark? That's right. 20:28 Just like Noah's Ark, the door close, 20:29 then there were-- 20:31 there were seven days until the flood came. 20:32 Revelation 16 is very clear that when everybody 20:34 makes their choice for the Bible or for the beast, 20:37 for Jesus or for the devil, for the Seventh-day Sabbath 20:41 which is a sign of the Creator, or the first day of the week 20:44 which goes back to pagan sun worshiping 20:45 and hostility to Jews, 20:47 and compromises and traditions of men. 20:49 Then the doors of heaven are gonna close 20:52 and one is gonna be on one side or the other. 20:53 Revelation 22:11, Jesus will say, 20:57 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, 20:58 he that's filthy, let him be filthy still, 21:00 he that's righteous, righteous still, 21:02 he that's holy, holy still, and everybody will be 21:03 divided into two great classes." 21:05 And at that point we call that 21:07 the close of probation then it's over. 21:10 It's over. 21:11 And then what happens is the big time of trouble hits. 21:14 Daniel 12, describes that there will be a time of trouble 21:17 such as never was, 21:18 since there was a nation even to that same time. 21:22 Now, there's another, another vision or dream 21:25 that you have there from that same person 21:28 who saw the balls of fire coming on Nashville. 21:32 And saw people saying, why didn't you tell us 21:34 that these judgments were coming. 21:35 Read that part about heading to the hills. 21:39 Yes, I love this, it's so encouraging. 21:41 She says, this is from Manuscript 153, 1905. 21:45 I did not sleep much the night after the Sabbath, 21:49 for during the night a very impressive 21:51 scene passed before me. 21:52 There seemed to be great confusion 21:54 and the conflict of armies. 21:56 A messenger from the Lord stood before me, and said, 22:00 "Call your household. I will lead you, follow me." 22:04 He led me down a dark passage, through a forest, 22:07 then through the clefts of mountains, and said, 22:11 "Here you are safe." 22:14 There were others who had been led to this retreat."' 22:16 Isn't that encouraging. Wow. 22:18 "The heavenly messenger said, "The time of trouble has come 22:21 as a thief in the night, 22:23 as the Lord warned you it would come." 22:24 Well, as the Lord warned you it would come. 22:27 And that's what Daniel 12:1 says, 22:30 that there shall be-- there shall be 22:32 a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. 22:35 So we're here, we want to be as prepared as we can. 22:39 We want to help the world, want to get the message, 22:41 get the warning message, teach what the Bible says. 22:43 So that when the crisis hits, people know what to do 22:45 and hopefully as many as possible 22:47 will choose to be on Jesus' side. 22:49 And follow the Creator and love Him 22:51 and take a stand for His Sabbath. 22:53 And once everybody does, and the door is closed, 22:55 and the big time of trouble hits, 22:57 at that point there's no more people going back and forth. 23:01 No more changing sides, it's all over. 23:03 And that is the time as Matthew, 23:05 Jesus said in Matthew 24:16, 23:08 that's the time for us to flee to the hills. 23:13 And as you read that Revelation the angel appeared and said, 23:18 this is what's gonna happen, God is going to be leading 23:20 His people out into the mountains, 23:22 into secluded places and He will provide 23:25 food and water for His people. 23:28 I think about the Israelites, they went out of Egypt 23:30 about a million of them, and they were two million 23:32 they went into the wilderness 23:33 and they were there for 40 years. 23:35 And they really didn't have water, 23:36 and they didn't have food, but God protected 23:39 and gave them food and water during that time. 23:42 We live in the country and there's gonna time come 23:44 when we're taking our kids, your little boy Nathan, 23:48 my sons Seth and Abby and my wife Christen. 23:51 And we're just-- we're heading to the hills 23:54 because it's a time of trouble. 23:56 It's all over, everybody's made their choice, 23:58 the plagues are falling but God's protecting His people. 24:00 Right. 24:01 And then we're out there and the angels of God 24:04 are gonna take care of us and give us food and water. 24:07 And it's just illustration of this principle of human effort 24:10 and divine power, you know. 24:11 God has given us the part to do, 24:13 He says do what you can, when the time comes 24:16 where it's impossible for you to do that anymore, 24:18 don't worry, I will take care of you. 24:20 And so this message of preparedness, 24:23 there's no reason, no room for fear in it 24:27 because we have the assurance of God that 24:29 as long as we're doing the part, 24:30 He has given us to do, He will take care of the rest. 24:32 That's right. 24:33 And God will guide us and if you have a backpack, 24:35 you'll probably want to take it with you. 24:36 If you've got charcoal filter and if you've got sleeping bag, 24:39 I think would be good but if you don't, 24:41 then Psalm 91 talks about how God will take care 24:45 of His people during the crisis. 24:47 Do what you can now, do everything you can 24:49 and leave the rest in God's hands. 24:51 Do our part, spread the truth, 24:53 spread the message of Revelation, 24:55 warn the people in the cities of what's coming, 24:58 that this Sunday law movement while it apparently 25:01 looks good in the name of families, 25:04 in the name of God, 25:05 in the name of protecting the environment, 25:08 cutting carbon emissions, and having the world 25:12 come together, it really is a massive 25:15 deception of the devil and it will result in disaster 25:19 to America and to the rest of the world 25:21 as the judgments of God fall in the final days. 25:24 And people need to know that that's coming. 25:28 That's why we're here, isn't it? 25:29 That's right. 25:30 That's what your ministry is all about, 25:32 that's what White Horse Media is all about. 25:33 Nick, it reminds me of him, he mentioned not being afraid. 25:37 I got my little girl and you've got your little boy 25:38 and you can't help but, you know, 25:40 look into their little faces and say, Lord, 25:43 please you got to take care of us, 25:44 it reminds me of a story I heard about a little girl, 25:48 she was about five years old and she was sleeping 25:50 in her in room one night 25:51 and she was scared because it was dark. 25:53 So she got up and she went down the hall, 25:55 when she went into her dad's room and she said, 25:58 "Daddy, daddy I'm scared, can I-- 26:01 can I come in bed with you." 26:03 And the fathers said, "Of course honey, 26:05 come in, come in bed with me." 26:07 So she plopped in and the father, 26:09 you know, lay down next to her, 26:11 and put the lights were still off and it was dark. 26:13 And she said, "Daddy, I'm still scared, 26:16 I'm still scared." 26:17 And so then and then she said, "Is your face toward me? 26:20 You're laying next to me, 26:21 but is your face turned toward me?" 26:24 And then the father said, "Yes, honey, 26:26 my face is toward you. 26:28 You don't need to be afraid." 26:32 And that just impresses me that when a final time comes, 26:35 God's face is gonna be toward His people. 26:38 He's gonna take care of us. 26:39 He promises that He will, He'll watch over us. 26:42 The bad news is there's trouble coming, big trouble, 26:44 but the good news is that Jesus is going to bring 26:46 His people through that time of trouble 26:48 and He's going to protect us, and get us ready 26:51 and have us ready at the end 26:54 when He comes in the clouds of heaven. 26:56 The Book of Daniel 12:1 says that, 26:59 "There shall be a time of trouble, 27:01 such as never was there was a nation, 27:04 even to that same time." 27:06 And then it says. 27:07 "And at that time your people shall be delivered, 27:11 every one who is found written in the book." 27:16 I want my name in that book. 27:18 God wants your name in that book. 27:19 God wants all of us in that book. 27:21 And if we follow Jesus and the Bible, 27:23 worship our Creator, and stand for His commandments, 27:26 we'll stay in the book, 27:27 and He'll get us ready for His glorious return. 27:31 Today we have a special offer called 27:33 "The Time Is At Hand Information Packet." 27:36 This offer is only $15 for 10 great pocketbooks, 27:39 one DVD entitled Earth's Final Crisis, 27:42 and the classic Great Controversy. 27:44 Don't miss this opportunity to get these resources today. 27:48 To order your information packet, 27:50 call 1-800-782-4253 or write to 27:54 White Horse Media, P.O Box 1139, 27:57 Newport, Washington, 99156. 28:03 If you've been blessed by today's program 28:05 and would like to help White Horse Media 28:07 with your financial support, you can call our 28:09 toll-free number listed on the screen 28:11 or donate online at whitehorsemedia.com. 28:14 We solicit your prayers for our ministry, 28:17 and we thank you for any gift, large or small to help us 28:21 reach people with the gospel. |
