Amen. 02:17 Well, next to you we have a familiar face, 02:20 we have Pastor Kenny Shelton, 02:21 Director and Speaker of Behold the Lamb Ministry. 02:25 Wonderful name for a ministry. 02:27 Tell us a little bit about Behold the Lamb Ministry? 02:30 What does Behold the Lamb Ministry do? 02:33 You know, Behold the Lamb is, like you mentioned, 02:36 it's a good name 02:38 and I remember many years ago 02:40 as the Lord impressed to start a ministry, 02:43 I remember telling the Lord... 02:45 talking to the Lord about it and I said, 02:47 "You know, I can't even think of a good name." 02:50 And it's like an answer came back and He said, 02:51 "Kenny, what's wrong with Behold the Lamb?" 02:54 I mean that's just how quick it came back, 02:55 what's wrong with Behold the Lamb, 02:57 at least in my mind and I said right then and right there, 02:59 that's exactly what we should be doing 03:01 is beholding the Lamb of God. 03:03 Amen. 03:04 So, you know, it's just a ministry like many others 03:06 dedicated to getting the gospel preached to the world, 03:09 warning the world of soon coming of Jesus. 03:11 Amen. 03:13 You know, we do a lot of CDs, DVDs 03:15 and send them all over the world 03:17 and we keep busy at Behold the Lamb all the time 03:19 and doing new programs and so on and so forth 03:22 and then certainly working closely with 3ABN 03:24 has been a real delight, 03:25 a real pleasure and so we keep busy, 03:28 and we're thankful that we're keeping busy. 03:31 A man told me one time, you know, rest, 03:33 he said, rest when you get to heaven, stay busy now. 03:37 So I think that was pretty good insight there. 03:39 Occupy till I come. Exactly. 03:41 Praise the Lord. Yes. 03:42 Praise the Lord. 03:44 Well, this is a very important topic 03:45 and we are grateful for every one of you 03:46 that is joining us, 03:48 whether you are joining us on the internet, 03:49 whether you are joining us through television, radio, 03:51 whatever means you are using, 03:53 we hope that you will be blessed as you tune in 03:55 and we encourage you to continue with us 03:57 during this hour 03:58 because this topic could transform your life. 04:00 As a matter of fact, this topic is so vital, 04:03 so important that you will want to listen, 04:05 take notes because you may want to share this information 04:08 with others, 04:09 and they will be also blessed 04:12 and ready to meet our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 04:14 So we encourage you to stay by and study with us. 04:18 At this time, we're gonna go to the Lord in prayer 04:20 because this is a program that requires prayer 04:23 and we need the Lord's presence. 04:25 I'm gonna ask the Lord to bless us 04:26 with the Holy Spirit, also bless you. 04:28 So let us go to God's throne of grace at this time. 04:32 Let's pray together. 04:34 Our loving Heavenly Father, 04:36 we are grateful to You for Your kindness 04:38 and Your mercy. 04:40 Heavenly Father, as we discuss this very important topic, 04:43 we pray that Your holy angels will draw near to every person, 04:47 wherever they may be, 04:49 so that they will have an understanding 04:51 that this is important, 04:52 this could impact their lives 04:54 and we ask you, Heavenly Father, 04:56 to bless us with the Holy Spirit 04:58 that we may speak Your words, not our words. 05:02 We pray, Lord, that lives will be transformed, 05:05 that people will decide to be ready, 05:08 to meet our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 05:11 We pray, Heavenly Father, for these blessings 05:14 in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen. 05:18 Amen. Amen. 05:20 Well, 05:23 we are going to begin 05:26 with Isaiah Chapter 56, no, Chapter 55, 05:30 verse 6 and 7, I have it right here. 05:33 Isaiah 55:6-7. 05:36 Here we have the following words, 05:38 "Seek the Lord while He may be found, 05:42 call upon Him while He is near. 05:47 Let the wicked forsake his way, 05:49 and the unrighteous man his thoughts, 05:51 let him return to the Lord, 05:53 and He will have mercy on him, 05:55 and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." 06:00 Praise the Lord. Amen. 06:02 Now, we may be talking a little bit more 06:04 about these two verses later on 06:06 but right here in verse 6, it tells us 06:09 that to seek the Lord while He may be found. 06:12 This also says, 06:14 call upon Him while He is near. 06:16 These two phrases both imply 06:19 that there will be a time 06:21 when He will not be found 06:23 and He will not be near, 06:25 and I am sure that 06:27 you gentlemen have some things 06:28 you would like to share concerning this 06:29 as we move on. 06:31 So we want to help you understand 06:34 if you don't and if you do understand it, 06:36 then this will be a wakeup call, let's say. 06:39 So that you will be prepared for the Lord's coming. 06:41 Amen. 06:43 And we're talking about God's mercy 06:45 and the close of probation. 06:47 Can we begin by maybe defining a little bit about probation? 06:51 What is your understanding of probation? 06:53 You know, probationary time, 06:56 that just simply means there's a time that God has, 07:00 He has it for nations, He has it for individuals, 07:02 so you know, 07:03 we have seen it throughout history of the world 07:05 from Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. 07:08 There comes a time when probation closes 07:10 or time has run out. 07:12 God gives us then specific time frame to come to Him, 07:17 and I think after that certain time frame, 07:20 God is more than aware 07:22 that there will be no changes for the better. 07:25 And many times and certainly He would cross His presence 07:29 and then probation closes 07:30 and certainly could close it at death, 07:33 you know, we could live and we die. 07:35 And so, that's probationary time, 07:37 it's so important you mentioned here 07:38 because our eternal destiny 07:40 rides on how we spend our probationary hours 07:45 in this world that we live in, 07:46 so it is vital. 07:48 And I think it's something that we need to be talking about. 07:50 I am thankful for the subject today. 07:51 Amen. Praise the Lord. 07:53 Would you like to add anything to that? 07:55 I like to keep separated the carnal probation 07:58 and the spiritual probation. 08:00 And the fact is that like Kenny says, 08:02 probation is multiple, 08:05 for example, we have probation in our school systems, 08:10 we have probation in our relationships 08:13 with each other, day by day. 08:16 But we also have 08:18 a probation spiritually 08:21 that God allows us something 08:24 and for a purpose, 08:25 and that purpose 08:27 is that we were made in the image of God. 08:29 Yes. 08:30 That was holy and sinless. 08:32 How long that lasted, I don't know. 08:34 But we fell, 08:36 and all have fallen short. 08:38 All have sinned and fallen short 08:39 of the glory of God. 08:40 And God is going to eradicate sin at some point. 08:45 And between now and then is one probation, 08:50 whereby we are being asked 08:53 to accept Jesus as payment 08:55 which sin is the transgression of God's law 08:58 and the wages of sin is death, 09:00 and Jesus paid that death for us 09:03 so that we could be redeemed, 09:04 which means brought back, 09:06 brought back to what? 09:08 Brought back to the image of God 09:10 and people will tell us well, you can't be like God. 09:14 Well, they need to read the Bible again, 09:16 because we started out that way, 09:18 and we're being called home. 09:21 And so there's this probationary period 09:23 for us to develop, 09:25 and to let the Holy Spirit remold us. 09:28 Thank you. Thank you very much. 09:30 Perhaps some people may be helped by following 09:33 you know, 09:34 when you start a job, most employers will tell you, 09:38 well, during the first 90 days, you are on probation. 09:42 And this is a period of time for us to evaluate 09:44 whether or not you'll be a fit for us, 09:47 you'll work out to be an employee here, 09:49 and the person has a time to... 09:52 The company and the person 09:54 have a time to evaluate whether or not 09:55 they want to work together. 09:57 And so after the 90 days are over, 10:02 normally there's a meeting and they say, well, 10:05 the 90 days are over, 10:06 and we're satisfied with the way you're working 10:08 and you may remain on permanent employment here 10:12 and that person then continues. 10:15 And likewise, you know, 10:16 we talked about probationary time, 10:18 which tells us about a time that this world, 10:22 that God has a time 10:24 that He is giving opportunity, 10:26 His mercy is extended for a period of time, 10:29 and then the time will come and that will end. 10:32 Is there somewhere in the Bible that says, a date and time 10:36 when probation will close? 10:38 Haven't found one yet, 10:40 but I think I've seen a lot of indicators... 10:42 Okay. Praise God. 10:44 And then, of course, what God tells us in His Word 10:46 in Genesis 6:3, 10:48 He says, "My Spirit shall not always strive with man." 10:52 Yes. 10:53 That means that, excuse me, indicates to me 10:56 that there's a time 10:57 that probation is going to close, 10:59 His spirit's going to be withdrawn 11:01 from the earth and then what? 11:03 So we need to be ready, at that hour of probation, 11:06 we need to make sure we're ready. 11:07 Absolutely. That's right. That's right. 11:08 Well, let's do a quick summary and then we'll go back in 11:11 and do some illustrations. 11:12 In other words, what we're saying 11:14 is that God is giving an opportunity 11:17 for this world. 11:18 We think of Matthew 24:14, 11:21 where Jesus says, "And this gospel of the kingdom 11:24 shall be preached in all the world for a witness 11:26 unto all nations and then the end shall come," 11:29 or the process of the end, I like to add. 11:32 So I when the gospel is preached, 11:33 shortly thereafter, Jesus Christ will come. 11:36 And so opportunity is given for all 11:39 to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. 11:41 And then when no one else will accept, 11:44 we're going to summarize that way, 11:45 then the Holy Spirit is withdrawn. 11:48 And then the seven last plagues are, fall upon the world. 11:53 And shortly thereafter, the Lord Jesus Christ comes 11:55 to claim those that are His, 11:57 those who have accepted Jesus Christ 11:58 as their personal Savior. 12:00 And this is a very small, quick summary. 12:02 But, well, let's go back and look at some examples 12:04 in the Bible of people 12:07 that had a period of time to make a decision. 12:11 Yes. 12:12 And then their time to make a decision was over. 12:14 So, Pastor Kenny mentioned, 12:16 Genesis Chapter 6 12:18 and let's go to that one. 12:21 In Genesis Chapter 6, 12:23 we have verse 5, 12:27 "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man 12:30 was great in the earth and that every intent 12:33 of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." 12:37 So this is a condition, 12:40 a horrible condition that God has to take action. 12:43 But even then, even when God sees this, 12:46 He decides to give the people an opportunity, 12:49 and this is where Genesis 6:3 says, 12:52 "And the Lord said, 'My Spirit shall not strive 12:55 with man forever, for he is in the flesh 12:57 yet his day shall be 120 years.'" 13:00 So what we understand that during the time of Noah, 13:02 the people were given 120 years to repent, 13:06 and turn from their evil ways. 13:09 And the Lord provided an ark. 13:12 And so Noah and his family preached. 13:15 And then when you come to Genesis 6:13, 13:18 and God said to Noah, 13:19 "The end of all flesh has come before Me." 13:22 In other words, the time of probation is closed, 13:26 "Hence for the earth is filled with violence through them, 13:29 and behold, I will destroy them with the earth." 13:33 And so, 13:35 God told Noah and his family, 13:37 come down, come, 13:39 you and your house come into the ark. 13:41 So the door was closed, 13:45 and no one could go in. 13:48 Now, we understand this door was closed by an angel 13:50 and the people once they saw the rain, 13:52 like Noah said, 13:54 and his family 13:55 they have preached for 120 years. 13:57 They were hoping to get in there 13:58 because that was the only place of safety. 14:00 There was nowhere they could go on the earth for safety. 14:04 And they knocked and knocked but Noah, 14:06 if even if he wanted to, could not open the door. 14:08 Why? 14:10 Because God is the one that closed His probation. 14:12 Amen. 14:14 So here we have an example of probation. 14:17 Can you think of another one that we can share 14:19 where you see a time, a period of time 14:22 when God allows people to make changes 14:24 and if they don't, time is over? 14:27 You know, several in Scripture, 14:29 but we you know, 14:30 our minds always go to Sodom and Gomorrah... 14:32 Okay, Sodom and Gomorrah. 14:33 Sodom and Gomorrah which is very, 14:35 God gave a specific time frame, you know, 14:37 and a warning with Jonah. 14:40 A warning, Nineveh, they repented. 14:42 Yes. 14:43 See, the good news is we repent. 14:45 Yes. 14:46 And sometime God reverses that. 14:48 And what did they get, was another 40 years 14:50 or something like that? 14:52 You know, to get it right. 14:53 Forty days, they have 40 days to get it right. 14:55 Yeah, before that, and then after God... 14:57 Oh, yes, yes. 14:59 Yeah, didn't go ahead 15:00 and fulfill that prophecy of Jonah. 15:02 God gave them some more time. 15:04 So, that was beautiful, 15:05 but there's still probationary time. 15:08 And I think God looks at us today. 15:10 And I think of Matthew 16:3, 15:12 I think Jesus was speaking, He said, "You hypocrites." 15:15 That's a pretty strong word now, isn't it? 15:17 Yes. 15:18 Because what is He telling? 15:20 He said, "You can discern the face of the sky." 15:22 Yes. 15:23 "But you cannot discern the signs of the times." 15:26 So this was partially I think what we're talking 15:29 about signs of the times 15:31 that tell us that probation is closing. 15:34 We're establishing at least in my opinion, right? 15:36 We're establishing that there will be a close of probation, 15:40 that the Bible teaches a close of probation. 15:43 Illustration after illustration is given 15:46 about how God set a time. 15:48 We mentioned at the first of the program, 15:50 when you look back and we study, 15:52 you know, we love to study Daniel, don't we? 15:54 Daniel, Chapter 2, we love to study about the image 15:56 and, I mean, what do we think 15:58 when we think about when you said Babylon 16:00 and in then the next power, 16:01 you know, the Babylon, 16:03 Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome, 16:04 and pagan Rome and papal Rome and so on. 16:07 Each one of those, 16:08 we have to realize came to a certain time 16:10 that God had given for them to come to Him, 16:13 as Joe mentioned here about, 16:15 you know, His character has to be reproduced. 16:18 And there was no changes made in that. 16:20 And so their probation ended. 16:23 And then he had the next nation and the next and the next. 16:26 Oh, there's ample, 16:27 but it's funny how people can discern things in this world. 16:31 Yes. 16:33 They can look around, 16:34 they can talk about this, talk about that. 16:35 They know all baseball and football, 16:38 they know everything about everything. 16:39 And Jesus says, "My my, 16:40 let's get on to the real, the reality of things here. 16:43 You need to discern the signs of the times." 16:46 That tell us once again probation is closed. 16:48 We can say that a dozen times, 100 times on this program, 16:51 and it's still not enough, 16:52 probation is soon to close, the door is going to shut, 16:56 not another person will ever come to Christ again. 17:02 Once that door shut 17:03 just like the ark that you were talking about, 17:05 that's it. 17:06 And I can't think of anything more solemn than that, 17:10 because we have family, and friends, 17:12 and children, and grandchildren and loved ones, 17:14 they're just, 17:16 they don't seem to have an interest. 17:19 You know, it's very interesting that you say that 17:21 because when we are talking, we mentioned very briefly, 17:24 Sodom and Gomorrah. 17:26 Yeah. 17:27 And the Lord revealed to Abraham, 17:29 we're going to go over to Sodom and Gomorrah, 17:31 and we're going to have to destroy this place. 17:33 Yeah. 17:34 And Abraham starts to plead, 17:36 "Lord, what if there are 50 people, 17:38 50 righteous people there? 17:40 Will you destroy the wicked with the righteous?" 17:43 And the Lord said, "No, I will not destroy the wicked 17:45 with the righteous. 17:46 I will forgive the nation for the 50 sake, 17:48 for the sake of the 50." 17:49 And Abraham, you know, he loves people. 17:51 He doesn't want to see people perish. 17:53 So he keeps asking, 17:55 and even dare to ask, 17:57 I'll say, dare to ask what if there are only 10. 18:00 I don't know how many thousands upon thousands were there, 18:03 but he asks, "What if there are only 10?" 18:06 And the Lord said, "For the 10, 18:08 for the sake of the 10, 18:10 I will not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah." 18:11 And that was a sad history 18:14 that they went all through Sodom and Gomorrah, 18:18 they were not even 10 18:20 righteous, good people there. 18:22 Yes. 18:23 And the very few that were there, less than 10, 18:26 two angels came and delivered them 18:28 from the destruction that was come 18:30 and that sends us a message too. 18:31 God will not destroy the wicked with the righteous. 18:34 Yes. 18:36 And the Lord is expecting the righteous 18:37 to make a decision for salvation. 18:39 What if, not Abraham, 18:41 Lot and his family decided not to get out of there? 18:46 Well, they will be destroyed 18:47 with the wicked and the righteous. 18:49 So the Lord even today 18:50 is making a call to people 18:52 to separate themselves from wickedness 18:55 so that they do not suffer the fate of the wicked. 18:57 So this is a very solemn message. 19:01 Just more of a question like, Abraham, 19:04 is it possible that he was, 19:06 I'm gonna say as nice a little bit selfish, 19:08 that he did not want to leave basically. 19:10 Oh, you mean Lot? 19:12 Lot, I'm sorry, he did not want to leave. 19:14 And so it says, you know, you read the angels helped him. 19:18 Yes. 19:19 And the angels will help us. 19:21 There's time, sometime we don't want to leave. 19:22 We live, in my opinion in time 19:26 to where we need to be very careful 19:27 about city life 19:29 and getting out of the cities. 19:31 Again, we're talking about probation closing. 19:33 We're not going to be able to get out some of these places 19:35 unless we do it now. 19:37 You know, going back to Sodom and Gomorrah, 19:41 and the fact that 19:43 they were told go and get your family. 19:44 Yeah. 19:45 And they went and talked to their family. 19:47 Hey, this place is going to be destroyed. 19:50 And the way the Bible talks about is, it's like, 19:53 you must be joking, everything's fine. 19:55 Everything's good 19:56 and they did not heed the warning. 19:58 And there's a danger there, 19:59 today Three Angels Broadcasting Network, 20:02 Behold the Lamb, we're preaching the gospel. 20:05 And we are giving the warning. 20:07 If you heed the warning, if you accept the message, 20:09 then you will be protected, you will be saved. 20:12 That's right. 20:13 So today, that's an example for us that today, 20:17 people need to make decision for salvation. 20:19 Amen. Good. 20:20 And I'd like to bring up on that 20:22 making a decision yourself. 20:24 That personal closing of probation 20:26 is when we pass away. 20:28 Okay, very good point, very good point. 20:30 We're active, we're either growing in sanctification 20:34 or we're growing in sin, one or the other. 20:37 The Holy Spirit is on one side, 20:39 the fallen angel is on the other side saying, 20:43 "I can lie to you, I can cheat, 20:45 I can do whatever I want to fool you into sinning." 20:49 But on the other hand, you've got the Holy Spirit, 20:52 who is the part of the Godhead is saying, 20:56 "I gave you, we gave you free will 20:58 to do as you please 21:00 and we want your love, 21:02 and love cannot be forced. 21:05 So therefore, I just wait. 21:08 I call you, I beckon you, 21:10 I give you the word to look at and learn 21:12 and, but I'm not going to twist your arm to love me 21:15 and to come back." 21:18 And so you might think he's handicapped in a way. 21:21 But the point is, when you die, 21:24 whatever you have is what you keep. 21:27 There's no fixing it after that. 21:29 So that's the personal probation 21:30 that we need to deal with daily and I forget, 21:33 I need to be doing something now, 21:35 not waiting for later. 21:36 So you're saying, there's not really a second chance 21:39 after you're dead, you're dead. 21:40 When you're dead, the record is solid, 21:42 there's no fixing it, no changing it. 21:44 So speaking of the close of probation, 21:48 which is a general closing of probation 21:50 for the whole world. 21:52 There's also a close of probation for individuals 21:55 that die before that time comes, 21:57 so even today while we are here, 22:00 there may be someone that could be listening 22:02 and their final day is today, 22:05 they may have hour left, hours, we don't know. 22:10 But someone may be listening right now 22:12 that their final day is today, 22:14 that's a very solemn thought, 22:15 and what will be their decision for salvation or to be lost? 22:21 Now, I'd like to add to that discomfort, 22:24 and that is that, 22:25 a person can be a hard nut to crack all their lives 22:30 and never give in, an atheist whatever. 22:32 But when it comes to the deathbed salvation issue 22:36 that people say, well, that's not fair. 22:39 I don't believe in deathbed salvation. 22:42 I'd like to use the example of the thief on the cross. 22:45 I doubt that he went to church, 22:48 I doubt that he paid his tithe, 22:50 he probably would have stolen it. 22:52 And in any event, 22:54 just before he passed away, he said something. 22:59 And Jesus said, 23:00 "You'll be in paradise with Me." 23:03 Now something happened there in that moment. 23:06 And I think what it was, 23:07 is what that thief said. 23:11 He said one word that singed it, 23:14 Lord. 23:16 When he said, "Lord, remember me." 23:17 When he said, Lord, 23:19 he said, "I accept you as my Savior, my Messiah, 23:23 the one who paid for my sins, I accept you." 23:25 Very good. That was it. 23:27 Now that didn't take much. 23:28 So thank God, 23:30 God is the judge and not us. 23:32 Because many people have relatives 23:34 who have passed away and we worry about them. 23:36 What was their condition? 23:38 Don't worry about their condition, 23:40 because in their heart, 23:42 in their mind, 23:44 we don't know what they were thinking 23:45 or feeling, 23:47 only God knows. 23:48 Yes. And God judges the heart. 23:50 Amen. And we haven't seen that. 23:52 So let's just wait and let Him decide. 23:55 Thank you very much. Thank you. 23:57 Can we... 23:58 Now there's a prophecy in the Bible 24:00 that takes at least a good hour to explain, 24:04 but we're going to have to try to do it 24:05 within 10 minutes 24:07 because of lack of time, 24:09 and we need to deal 24:10 with the subject of the close of probation. 24:12 And Daniel Chapter 9 is... 24:15 Daniel Chapter 8 and 9, 24:16 you wanted to mention something about that, 24:18 to help us understand where we are in this earth's history, 24:21 because we believe we are in the time of the end. 24:24 We're in the final time of this world's history. 24:28 Absolutely. 24:29 Can you take us through that really quickly? 24:31 When we mentioned earlier something 24:33 about knowing the time 24:35 or is there a way to know the time 24:37 and you mentioned something about, 24:39 forget what it was, Kenny, but it was something like, 24:42 we don't know the date nor the hour, 24:44 but we can know the season. 24:45 God has told us, when the leaves turn, 24:47 you know, the summer is nice. 24:48 So we need to pay attention 24:50 because we've been given enough in the Word to God, 24:54 to instinctively look around, see, and know 24:57 that we're moving closer to the close of probation 25:00 and this is the general probation. 25:02 This is the global probation. 25:04 This is where God 25:06 throws sin into the lake of fire, and it's over. 25:10 And we have a lot we can talk about there, 25:12 it'd be beautiful time, oh, man. 25:14 Wow. 25:15 So anyway, 25:17 we were given in Daniel 9:25, 25:20 a statement that... 25:23 Well, let's just go there for a moment 25:25 and see if we can pull up something there. 25:28 That's very important. 25:30 Daniel 9:25, let's see here. 25:35 Let me find that there. 25:38 So in Daniel 9:25? 25:41 9:25, 25:42 let me read through this... 25:43 Part of the prophecy. Okay. 25:45 This is a very serious prophecy. 25:49 Seventy weeks are determined. 25:50 There's a time period, 25:51 "Seventy weeks are determined upon the people 25:53 and upon the holy city to finish the transgression 25:57 and that is sin against God 25:59 and to make an end of sin 26:01 and to make reconciliation for iniquity, 26:03 and to bring in everlasting righteousness." 26:05 You see, He's going to heal the world, 26:07 He's going to heal the people. 26:09 He's going to put us back where we were, 26:11 with God, one as God, 26:13 "And to set and to seal up the vision of the prophecy 26:16 and to anoint the Most Holy." 26:19 So Jesus was coming, 26:20 the anointed one, 26:21 with the most holy one was coming. 26:23 Now this is a period of time here 26:25 that talks about the prince coming 26:28 and talking about how many 26:30 after and after three score and two weeks, 26:33 the Messiah shall be cut off, 26:35 that means He's going to be, 26:36 He's going to give His life. 26:38 And so we're talking about the Messiah, 26:40 it's very clear. 26:41 And it goes on and says, 26:43 "And he shall confirm the covenant 26:44 with many for one week." 26:46 That's a probation. 26:48 That is a probation because when Jesus comes, 26:51 goes through all that He has to go through 26:54 and the timings are there 26:56 and based on 26:58 a particular beginning point that's specific 27:01 and that is when Artaxerxes gives the right 27:04 to Ezra to go and rebuild Jerusalem, 27:07 rebuild the temple, rebuild the wall 27:09 and it gives the date it was, what was that date? 27:12 457. 27:13 Yeah. 27:15 And it was the seventh year of Artaxerxes. 27:17 Yeah, it's all there perfectly. 27:19 And it goes on and says, 27:21 "And he shall confirm the covenant 27:22 with many for one week. 27:24 And in the midst of that week, 27:25 he shall cause the sacrifice 27:29 and the oblation to cease." 27:32 Now, oblation is a holy offering. 27:35 So the holy offering came, 27:38 God Himself and when He allowed Himself 27:43 to give His life up, 27:44 that sacrifice was the final sacrifice. 27:48 Now, it says, 27:51 "And he shall confirm the covenant 27:53 with many for one week." 27:55 So in the middle of that week, 27:58 He gave Himself, sacrifice 28:00 and there was three and a half years left. 28:02 Yes. 28:03 And during those three and a half years, 28:06 the message went to the chosen people 28:10 who were to spread it to the world 28:13 and weren't doing well. 28:15 And at the end of that three and a half years, 28:18 Stephen, who was a Jewish Christian 28:23 was trying to share with them, 28:25 this is the Messiah. 28:27 Yes. 28:28 And they stoned him to death. 28:31 And at that point, Paul, 28:33 yeah, Paul in Acts says, 28:37 "Now it goes to the Gentiles, 28:40 because you have refused it." 28:42 That was a close of probation right there. 28:45 Close of probation of a nation 28:48 chosen by God to do a job, the first covenant 28:52 and they failed, 28:53 and it was taken to the rest of the world. 28:56 And during that particular time, 28:58 it's rather interesting that... 29:02 Now this is the leaders, the leaders knew the Bible. 29:04 The leaders knew the Bible. 29:06 They knew the Messiah was coming. 29:07 And they grew to know 29:09 that this Jesus was fulfilling over 100 prophecies perfectly. 29:16 And finally, they realized it and said, 29:20 I'm going to read right here out of their own literature, 29:23 what they said here, hang on. 29:26 It's called the Rabbinic Curse. 29:29 It's in the Talmudic Law, 29:31 page 978, section two, line 28. 29:35 And this is what it says, 29:38 "May the bones of the hands 29:39 and the bones of the fingers decay 29:41 and decompose of Him," 29:43 who turns the pages of the Book of Daniel, 29:46 to find out the time of Daniel 9:24 to 27, 29:53 which we just read that are very specific 29:54 about when the Messiah would come and it says, 29:58 "To find out that time 30:00 and may his memory rot 30:01 from off the face of the earth forever." 30:04 This is a curse to scare the people, 30:07 the chosen people away from realizing, 30:10 your Messiah has already come. 30:13 We need to get ready for probation to close. 30:16 Well, thank you very much 30:18 and this part of Daniel 9:25 30:20 towards the end of the chapter 30:23 is part of a longer prophecy 30:25 because you mentioned 70 weeks which are time prophecies. 30:30 Seventy times seven is 490. 30:33 And beginning in Daniel 8:14, 30:36 which is unto 2300 evenings and mornings 30:41 and then the sanctuary shall be cleansed. 30:43 So from Daniel 8:14, 30:46 we understand based on Daniel Chapter 9 30:48 that the beginning of this was 457 BC, 30:51 because from the going forth 30:53 to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, 30:55 unto the Messiah, the prince shall be 70 weeks. 30:58 So this takes us from for 457 BC 31:00 to the year 1844. 31:02 So as we're trying to reduce a lot of information 31:05 into a short period of time, 31:07 from 457 BC to 1844 AD, 31:12 that's a little over 100 years ago. 31:15 What happened in the year 1844, Pastor Kenny? 31:18 Yeah, well, when we, 31:20 that's a beautiful subject 31:21 that a lot of folks probably in the world 31:24 maybe have never heard of, 31:25 they need to, 31:27 the cleansing of the sanctuary. 31:28 Judgment began in the house of God. 31:31 Yes. 31:32 Again, we cut it short, put it down 31:33 as simply our names come up in the judgment. 31:36 We're talking about probation is going to close, 31:38 we're going to be pronounced fit for heaven 31:41 or another place. 31:43 We have to decide which way that's going to be, 31:45 'cause this probationary time, 31:46 you just looked at the 490 years, 31:49 I've seen probationary time. 31:50 I've seen the seven years in the middle there, 31:53 the probationary time. 31:54 I see the 1810 years left, 31:56 I see probationary time come to. 31:59 And again, God always works on that order He always has 32:03 and He always will. 32:04 He sets a time. 32:06 And so we see that now that the hour we live in, 32:09 we need to be giving a specific message to the world 32:13 of the judgment hour. 32:14 If we believe we're in it. 32:16 Now, I'll say this nice as I can, 32:17 even as Adventist if we really believed, 32:20 that we were in the judgment hour 32:21 like it's proven 32:23 beyond a shadow of a doubt, Bible prophecy. 32:25 Even though some take the seven year period 32:27 and they'll put it at the end of, 32:29 you know, you can't take, once a prophecy begins 32:31 you can't take anything out of the middle, 32:32 add or subtract to it, but... 32:34 The devil has done that because he wants Jesus 32:37 out of the center of the gospel, 32:39 and this is what we should be giving 32:40 is Jesus to the world, the great sacrifice. 32:44 And then we give the message 32:45 that the judgment hour has commenced, 32:47 where it's been commenced, 32:48 that begins with the righteous dead. 32:51 He began, he said in my house, in that James 4, 32:53 my house it begins, 32:55 and then it transfers over to the living. 32:57 Yes. 32:59 So how close is that now? 33:00 We're talking about probation's going to end. 33:01 Yes. 33:03 Every name will have come up before probation closes, 33:06 interesting. 33:07 And then sentence will be pronounced. 33:09 You know, that's pretty heavy duty 33:12 when you think about it. 33:13 Every person name will come and they say, 33:16 "I don't want to be involved." 33:17 Well, I hate says, it's too bad. 33:19 You were born in this world 33:21 so we're going to be involved in the judgment. 33:22 That's right. 33:24 So why not let's make it for eternity. 33:27 Why not say, "I want to accept Christ 33:28 as my Lord and Savior." 33:30 Amen. 33:31 See, probationary time we just met, 33:32 just tell us quickly just in New York 33:34 just got back from New York 33:35 and we met a Uber driver, 33:39 almost a cab driver so we all get a cab driver. 33:42 And we were just talking to him on the ways he was going, 33:44 this young man maybe 25 years of age, 33:47 and just could tell by looking at him 33:49 and Holy Spirit says this guy's interested. 33:51 This guy's interested and a conversation began. 33:55 And this young man was interested. 33:57 He didn't know how to pray. 33:59 He didn't understand anything about Jesus. 34:01 He didn't understand the times in which we lived in. 34:05 He wasn't worried 34:06 basically he because he didn't know 34:07 about probation coming to an end. 34:09 He didn't know anything about having to give your life 34:11 to Jesus Christ. 34:12 We think that's not in this world. 34:14 We think people know better. 34:15 They just have never delved into it. 34:17 They just don't know. 34:19 Anyway, long story short, it was good. 34:21 We said, we talked with the man 34:22 and everybody else got out and we stayed right there 34:25 and my wife and I, we sit right there 34:26 and talk to him and that, you know, do the prayer. 34:29 He gave his heart to Jesus, right? 34:31 Amen And there, confessing his sins, 34:35 and said, I want to change in my heart. 34:36 I want to change in my life, how it all began, 34:39 but the Holy Spirit does this. 34:41 See, there was a time, 34:42 maybe a probationary time was running out 34:44 for this man. 34:45 Maybe that could have been, 34:46 could it not been the last call did you ever received? 34:49 That's right. 34:51 So we have the opportunity, 34:52 we need to make sure by the grace of God. 34:54 And so anyway, we got a lot of follow up on that 34:56 and he's going to be taking good care, 34:57 we pray. 34:59 So that's just something that's good 35:00 because the urgency of probation closing. 35:03 Somebody didn't know Jesus, 35:04 we have a wonderful opportunity to get the good news. 35:07 Right? 35:09 Every day you talk people on the phone every day, 35:10 we talk to people, you talk to people, 35:12 you read your messages. 35:13 We need to understand 35:14 how important this is right now, 35:16 almost, it's to beg and to plead 35:18 with people to listen, 35:20 that the time is running out, 35:22 signs of the time, 35:23 the song says are everywhere. 35:25 Yes. The Bible says the same thing. 35:26 Yes. 35:28 But my point, if we believe it, Lord, have mercy. 35:30 Shouldn't we do something about it? 35:32 Absolutely. Shouldn't we? 35:33 Absolutely. 35:35 We got a lot of talkers in the world, 35:36 a lot of talkers in Christianity, 35:37 but we have to do more than that. 35:39 We have to believe, we have to go out 35:40 and proclaim the good news that He's coming back. 35:42 And one of these days, we say it's all she wrote. 35:46 So it's important part of this topic 35:49 is during our probationary time, 35:52 is to spend time with Jesus. 35:53 Amen. Get your life right with Him. 35:57 Now, while there's time, 35:59 don't wait for next week next month 36:01 when I graduate, when I retire, 36:03 please just do it now, get it right. 36:04 Amen. 36:06 But that young man, he had no idea except just needed. 36:08 He said, I've carried things are so heavy, 36:10 I just can hardly go anymore. 36:12 He didn't realize it was sin. 36:13 Wow. 36:15 But once he understand about sin 36:17 and Jesus willing to take it, 36:18 he was willing to put it at the foot of the cross. 36:20 How wonderful that is to see God working today 36:22 because He's making, I believe, some of His last calls. 36:24 Amen. Amen. 36:26 Wow, very, very good. Praise the Lord. 36:28 Well, as we see our time escaping from us... 36:33 what can you share with us as you look at the prophecies 36:39 that have been fulfilled, 36:40 prophecies that are on the way to being fulfilled? 36:44 Can you give us some information 36:46 that helps you understand? 36:48 I think time is coming to a close. 36:51 What things are happening or have happened today 36:54 that helps you understand Jesus Christ is coming soon. 36:57 Probation will close very soon. 36:59 One thing that occurs to me is that 37:02 we're at the time of the three angels' message. 37:06 The three angels' message is in Chapter 14 of Revelation 37:10 near the end of the Bible, near the end of time. 37:13 And it is the last message from heaven to planet earth. 37:18 And that message is what we give, 37:20 and this is basically what it says. 37:24 Revelation 14:7, 37:27 "An angel says with a loud voice, 37:30 'Fear God and give glory to Him, 37:33 for the hour of His judgment" 37:35 isn't coming, it says "is come." 37:39 Because 1844 37:40 is when the investigative judgment 37:42 of the righteous dead and living after them 37:46 is taking place because when Jesus comes back, He says, 37:50 My reward is with Me already. 37:52 He comes back to get His people 37:55 that He's going to spend eternity 37:57 with the dead and the living. 37:59 He knows He's coming back to get His people. 38:02 He says, My reward is with me already. 38:04 And that is to give them life, 38:06 and to take them with Him. 38:08 Now, it goes on and says, 38:09 "Worship Him that made heaven, earth, 38:10 the sea, and the fountains of water." 38:12 This is identifying which God we worship, 38:16 the Creator God. 38:18 Then the second angel's message says, 38:20 "And there followed another angel saying, 38:22 'Babylon is fallen.'" 38:23 Babylon is false teachings. 38:25 God only has one church 38:26 that really knows the whole pure truth 38:29 that is necessary. 38:31 I mean, you have other churches, 38:32 and they're teaching the same thing, 38:34 to a degree. 38:36 Now it says, Babylon, 38:37 false teachings is fallen, is fallen. 38:39 Boy, He said it twice 38:40 because He says, time's running out, 38:42 this is getting close, 38:43 the great city, 38:45 "Because she made all nations 38:46 drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." 38:48 Now, this is another entity being worshipped here. 38:53 And she is delivering drink of the wine. 38:59 So the wine that she's giving people confuses them, 39:02 and it causes fornication. 39:05 Fornication is when you worship 39:08 someone other than the Creator, 39:10 the created was identified. 39:12 So anytime you worship someone other than the Creator, 39:16 you're falling into this problem 39:18 because the third angel's message is. 39:21 "And the third angel followed them 39:22 saying with a loud voice, 39:24 'If any man worship the beast," this is the other choice, 39:27 "and his image receive his mark in his forehead or his hand," 39:30 those are identification marks, 39:32 "the same shall drink of the wine 39:33 of the wrath of God." 39:35 That's right. 39:36 Now, the wrath of God is the seven last plagues. 39:39 So you better be careful. 39:40 We need to be careful who we're actually worshipping. 39:43 The Creator God 39:45 gave us Ten Commandments. 39:47 And then there is the God 39:50 where Jesus said in Matthew 7:7, 39:53 "Howbeit in vain they do worship me, 39:56 teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." 40:00 So there are commandments 40:03 that do not come from the Bible's 40:06 Exodus 20:20. 40:09 So we need to be sure 40:11 which commandments we're keeping 40:13 in order to know who we're worshiping and... 40:17 So the Ten Commandments 40:18 are in Exodus Chapter 20, the Commandments of God? 40:20 Yes. 40:21 So this is, you're talking about Revelation Chapter 14, 40:25 the three angels' messages? 40:26 Yes. 40:28 I would like to read, you know, 40:29 we mentioned several times a term, 40:31 we're living at a time of the end. 40:33 I like to read from Daniel Chapter 12, 40:36 and Daniel Chapter 12, we have the angel talking. 40:39 If you want to share some more about that in a moment, 40:41 as soon as I am done, you can do that. 40:43 In Daniel, 40:44 the angel's talking to Daniel telling him about things 40:47 that are going to be happening in the future. 40:50 And beginning in Daniel Chapter 12, 40:54 beginning in verse 8, he says, 40:55 "Although I heard, I did not understand. 40:58 Then I said, 'My Lord, 40:59 what shall be the end of these things?" 41:01 And he said, 'Go your way, Daniel, 41:04 for the words are closed up and sealed 41:07 till the time of the end. 41:10 Many shall be purified, made white and refined, 41:13 but the wicked shall do wickedly, 41:16 and none of the wicked shall understand, 41:17 but the wise shall understand." 41:19 Yes. 41:21 So what we have here 41:22 is that the prophecies of the Book of Daniel, 41:23 the angel said, 41:25 they're gonna be closed up, 41:27 they're not gonna be fully understood 41:28 till the time of the end. 41:30 From the 1840s 41:32 the prophecies of Daniel began to be better understood. 41:37 And now we can look back 41:39 and see the beauty of the prophecies. 41:43 And from this, we understand 41:45 that we are living in the time of the end. 41:48 Amen. 41:49 When Christ, who is ministering in the Most Holy Place, 41:52 as we have discussed, 41:54 he's going through the names as Pastor Kenny Shelton 41:56 mentioned starting from the very first man 41:59 and eventually will go to the names of those 42:02 that are living. 42:04 When that occurs, we do not know. 42:06 But the names of every individual 42:08 will come up, 42:09 those who have accepted Jesus Christ 42:12 as their personal Savior, 42:14 because judgment begins at the house of God. 42:16 Yes. 42:17 Only the names of those 42:19 who have accepted Jesus Christ 42:20 as their personal Savior are dealt with 42:21 because the judgment of the wicked 42:23 is at another time. 42:25 So get your name in the Book of Life, 42:29 so that your name can be considered. 42:30 Now, if you want, Pastor Kenny, 42:34 if you have something to say. 42:35 Yeah, I'm just thinking because we're talking 42:36 about probation so on so forth. 42:38 We have to realize right now God's judgments 42:40 are falling in the land. 42:42 That is right. 42:43 Right now as we sat here to miss that point, 42:45 the judgments of God are falling in the world. 42:47 Now, why are they falling? 42:48 By land, by sea, by air, pestilence, 42:51 we're talking about everything 42:52 but you know, we're talking about flood and tornadoes, 42:55 and earthquakes and fires. 42:56 You know, you can go into and start naming all, 42:59 this has been the... 43:00 I guess the 2018-19 is the worst ever 43:03 in the history of the world 43:04 that tells the indication that Jesus is to come. 43:08 Well, probation will close before Jesus comes. 43:10 So these things are happening right now, 43:13 to tell us beyond a shadow of a doubt. 43:15 When you're looking around saying, 43:17 "Why are these things happening?" 43:19 They are indicators. 43:20 They are signs of the times 43:22 that God's judgments are falling. 43:24 Right now, you say, 43:25 how do you know probation is closing? 43:27 I'd say one important part to me 43:29 at least is trying to study the Word of God 43:32 is because the image of the beast 43:34 will be formed before probation closes. 43:37 The image what? The image to the beast. 43:40 Now, you're talking about Revelation 13? 43:41 Yeah, Revelation 13. 43:43 We're talking Sunday laws, 43:44 these things will come about 43:46 because it's going to be the great test 43:48 for the people of God here in these last days. 43:50 We're going to have to go through these things. 43:52 A lot of people say, oh, it's too heavy duty. 43:54 We shouldn't talk about. 43:55 No, in my opinion, we should talk about them. 43:58 We've got to bring them out. 44:00 What's happening in the government? 44:01 What's happening with our nations, 44:03 the loose law is being passed? 44:06 Morality is at all-time low. 44:09 Natural disasters is all time high. 44:11 So we have to look at these things and say, 44:13 this tells me that Jesus is coming. 44:15 And what does the devil try to do? 44:18 He tries to keep us busy. 44:20 Yes. 44:21 Doing whatever it might be to keep us busy. 44:24 So that probation what? 44:26 Closes and we're not going to be saved in the kingdom. 44:29 So don't get all wrapped up in this and that, 44:32 and whatever else in the world. 44:33 We are wrapped up in Jesus Christ. 44:36 Solemn events we're told, 44:38 we know beyond a shadow of a doubt are connected 44:40 in the Scripture that reveals none of us 44:44 need to be surprised, 44:45 but let me just say this quickly. 44:46 I tell you, the world is still going to be surprised. 44:49 That's right. 44:51 Majority of Adventist are going to still be surprised 44:53 and I can't figure out. 44:54 Just let me go on for a minute. 44:56 You know, well, 44:57 we're going to be surprised, 44:59 I'm not trying to down trod them. 45:00 I'm not trying to, I'm just saying 45:01 because of talking to people 45:03 like everybody does here, it's just most people 45:05 still are not aware 45:06 they're supposed to be aware 45:08 of what's taking place in the Word of God right now. 45:12 We need to know what's happening. 45:15 We need to understand 45:17 whether it's the gay and lesbian movement, 45:19 whatever it might be. 45:20 We're looking at the, you know, everything green. 45:23 We're looking at the Paris right? 45:25 Treaty on climate control. 45:28 This will bring about a Sunday law so fast, 45:31 it will make your head swim. 45:32 Not trying to scare anybody here but anyway... 45:34 No, it's good to scare people sometimes. 45:35 This will bring about a Sunday law so fast 45:38 that we will say, 45:40 "Oh, I didn't realize this was going to happen." 45:42 Can you briefly tell us about, 45:44 you mentioned Sunday law, 45:46 what's the implication of a Sunday law? 45:48 Why would a Sunday law be a bad thing? 45:51 Well, you know, what we've had for years, 45:53 we call them blue laws. 45:54 Okay So that's been going on. 45:56 Somebody said the other day, 45:57 "Well, now why there can't be no Sunday law." 46:00 I want to say for Pete's sake, 46:02 and I probably shouldn't say that, for Pete's sake. 46:03 Listen, Sunday laws have been on the books, 46:05 of blue law for 1700 years. 46:08 First one was in 321 with Constantine. 46:11 So I'm saying, ever since that point, 46:12 there's been some kind of a Sunday laws on the book. 46:15 Now they're being agitated. 46:17 Okay. 46:18 The government is asking for it, 46:19 the people are asking for it because of climate change. 46:23 They're saying that with climate change, 46:26 it's going to affect us as human beings, 46:28 it's going to affect our economy, 46:30 it's going to affect the land, it's going to affect. 46:32 In fact, 46:33 was that the government has 13 different agencies 46:37 that they've had to delve into the Paris Treaty here 46:40 about, you know, what's happening in the world. 46:45 You know what they all say? 46:46 What is that? 46:47 I don't think they even opened the Scripture. 46:49 But they come right around and said, 46:51 "Oh, we're predicting 46:53 there's going to be a whole lot more fires than ever before. 46:55 We're predicting there's going to be more flooding in the land 46:58 than ever before. 46:59 The hurricanes and all this, the sea, 47:01 everything that happens in right there 47:03 is going to be worse than ever before." 47:05 How did they know that? 47:08 See, they may not be reading Scripture, 47:09 but they know from the text so 47:11 and then they go back and read some scriptures, 47:12 you'll say, wow! 47:14 So the earth is growing old like a garment, 47:16 and all these things are happening, 47:17 and the Lord is coming soon?" 47:19 Exactly, and these and why should we be shocked about it? 47:21 You know, the Supreme Court's already passed 47:24 basically a Sunday law in 1961. 47:26 You just have to look at it. 47:27 Again, it's not, 47:29 it's not dealing with you can do this, 47:30 and you can do that. 47:32 But it's dealing with humanity 47:33 and the good of the people. 47:35 So they completely sidestep the issue 47:37 and it's already there on the book. 47:38 It's just a matter when God lets go of those winds. 47:41 I see that Joe is very anxious to say something. 47:45 Now that you brought up the Sunday law, 47:47 I'd like to point out that Satan said, 47:52 "I will exalt myself above the stars of God, 47:54 I will be as the Most High." 47:55 The Most High is worshiped and he wants to be worshipped. 47:58 Yes. 47:59 And the bottom line is, 48:00 the Creator who made heaven, earth, 48:02 everything beneath the sea and all of that. 48:05 He has Ten Commandments, 48:06 and He will judge by those Ten Commandments, 48:08 and that will be the close of probation. 48:10 Now, in the meantime, we have this, 48:12 "Howbeit in vain do they worship 48:14 Me, teachings doctrines, 48:15 for doctrines the commandments of men?" 48:17 Well, the commandments of men you bring up the Sunday law. 48:20 Where did that come from? 48:22 That's not a commandment from the Bible to keep Sunday. 48:25 God says, "I am Lord of the Sabbath, 48:28 not Sunday." 48:30 Sure. 48:31 And the Sabbath is the fourth commandment. 48:33 And the fourth commandment 48:35 says very, sincerely more than once. 48:38 It's the seventh day, 48:39 God blessed it, hallowed, sanctified it, 48:41 set aside for a holy purpose and holy is potentially lethal. 48:46 So be careful if you break a commandment. 48:48 Now, the idea is that 48:52 Daniel predicted this way back. 48:54 Daniel 7:25 said, 48:57 "And he shall speak great words against the Most High 49:00 and shall wear out the saints of the Most High 49:02 and think to change the times and laws." 49:05 Think to change the times and laws. 49:07 Well, the fourth commandment is a law 49:08 and it deals with time, 49:10 and man thinks he changed it. 49:12 And God says, 49:13 you know, thinking it doesn't make it so 49:15 because God says, 49:17 "I am the Lord, I change not," 49:20 Malachi 3:6. 49:21 Jesus Himself in Hebrews 13:8 said, 49:24 "I am the same yesterday, today and forever." 49:26 They don't make mistakes. 49:28 Okay, so the Sabbath stands. 49:30 It even goes on in Isaiah 66:22, and says, 49:33 "And it shall come to pass 49:35 that from one new moon to another 49:37 and from one Sabbath to another, 49:39 all flesh shall come to worship before Me, 49:41 saith the Lord." 49:43 But where's Satan in that, where's Sunday in that? 49:45 So the point is, 49:47 yeah, probation is getting ready to close. 49:50 We're a little bit Laodicean, 49:51 a little bit sleepy and just to let you know... 49:54 We have two and a half minutes for you to share that. 49:57 Okay, just want to show 49:58 that something is happening with the Sunday law, 50:01 not here in the United States. 50:02 Every time I read Sunday law in United States, 50:04 it's Sunday morning 50:05 you're going to be able to drink alcohol 50:07 or Sunday morning you're going to be able to go hunting. 50:09 They're getting rid of them somewhat. 50:11 And it says here, 50:13 the European Sunday Alliance welcomes its newest supporter, 50:16 the European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions. 50:19 The European Confederate of Trade Unions 50:22 is a confederation of 38 trade unions, 50:25 organized from 21 European countries 50:29 and includes more than 5 million members 50:32 and they're all signing. 50:34 This is the European Sunday Alliance you mentioned. 50:37 Yes, these trade unions have signed 50:41 to agree to allow Sunday 50:44 as a day off for their workers. 50:46 They're working out the details. 50:48 This is huge. It's moving fast. 50:50 We're not seeing it. 50:51 We need to be watching, the season is nigh. 50:55 Thank you very much. Pastor Kenny? 50:56 When you look at the signs, 50:58 the time is real quick you look at it. 50:59 This is showing that the world is coming together 51:01 against commandment keepers. 51:02 You have when the Paris Treaty 51:04 where he's talking about the climate, 51:05 195 nations signed it 51:08 that's just about every one of them as we see. 51:11 And that is officially that's a law of the land. 51:13 So we're gonna have to deal with those issues. 51:15 They're right here before us. Yes. 51:17 Probation soon to close. Probation soon to close. 51:19 One of the things that I like to say at this point 51:22 is that we have about a minute 51:23 before we go to our, our news from 3ABN, 51:27 and that is, one of the signs 51:29 that Jesus Christ is coming soon 51:30 is the preaching of the gospel. 51:32 I don't know how many more tools we need, 51:33 because God has given us tremendous powerful tools 51:36 to preach the gospel. 51:37 We're talking about radio, television, the printed page, 51:40 now you can preach the gospel to the internet. 51:42 Now you can witness from person to person, 51:44 you can distribute literature faster than ever. 51:47 We have tools to preach the gospel, 51:50 fast, quick, clear, and in a moment of time. 51:54 Amen. 51:55 So we encourage you 51:56 that if you have not given your life to the Lord, 51:59 to give your heart to the Lord today, 52:01 and we want to encourage you to consider this topic, 52:04 study this out. 52:06 We mentioned Revelation 13, 52:08 read Revelation Chapter 13, 14 52:11 And Revelation Chapter 18 52:13 promises that there will be, 52:14 the earth will be lightened with the glory of God. 52:16 The latter rain will come 52:18 when people will preach this message 52:19 with power on ever, what? 52:23 Like you've never seen before. 52:24 We're going to be back in a moment 52:26 and we will return briefly. |
