1
00:01:13,099 --> 00:01:15,549
And welcome back this week.

2
00:01:15,616 --> 00:01:18,666
Ooh, boy, had a great week, a wonderful,

3
00:01:18,666 --> 00:01:22,133
 wonderful night of worship last night at

4
00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:25,150
 our, uh, gather around the pink

5
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:27,783
 piano singing, uh, last night.

6
00:01:27,849 --> 00:01:28,916
That was fantastic.

7
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,833
I got to hear some songs that we haven't heard in a long time.

8
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:36,366
Got to hear from some people that don't

9
00:01:36,366 --> 00:01:37,616
 normally sit at the piano and play.

10
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:38,049
was nice.

11
00:01:38,116 --> 00:01:41,116
I recorded that too, and I think Diane

12
00:01:41,116 --> 00:01:42,366
 got something.

13
00:01:42,433 --> 00:01:45,433
I got the last verse and chorus there

14
00:01:45,433 --> 00:01:48,133
 on my phone because I did.

15
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,200
I grew up with Rhonda playing

16
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,200
 for my every few Sundays and that was, I mean, that's

17
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,733
 one of my core memories when I was a kid growing up and him

18
00:01:57,733 --> 00:02:00,966
 going up and singing and with mom and Robin singing

19
00:02:00,966 --> 00:02:04,500
 with him on a couple of songs and it's just that is a deep

20
00:02:04,516 --> 00:02:05,716
 seated memory for me.

21
00:02:05,766 --> 00:02:09,066
going back, you know, 40 years almost.

22
00:02:09,133 --> 00:02:11,833
So it was it was really nice.

23
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:14,949
That was very touching last night and I'm very

24
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:15,966
 glad that we got to do that.

25
00:02:16,033 --> 00:02:18,599
How about you, brother Dennis?

26
00:02:18,666 --> 00:02:19,866
man I'm doing good.

27
00:02:19,933 --> 00:02:20,533
I'm doing good.

28
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:21,916
I had a good day.

29
00:02:21,966 --> 00:02:25,016
I mowed 2 yards and watered some stuff

30
00:02:25,033 --> 00:02:28,333
 and studied and just a good day.

31
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,416
Yeah, amen.

32
00:02:29,416 --> 00:02:32,583
Still got my eyes full of dust from law and mower.

33
00:02:32,650 --> 00:02:33,250
Oh yeah.

34
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:33,716
Oh, yeah.

35
00:02:33,733 --> 00:02:34,383
I'll take it.

36
00:02:34,449 --> 00:02:36,183
It's not cold.

37
00:02:36,250 --> 00:02:37,016
It's not snowing.

38
00:02:37,099 --> 00:02:37,816
It's not icy.

39
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:40,983
Yeah, it's nice and nice and comfortable today and we'll

40
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,366
 be, you know, sweating come Wednesday.

41
00:02:42,433 --> 00:02:44,283
Bring it.

42
00:02:44,349 --> 00:02:45,666
It'll be like 86.

43
00:02:46,216 --> 00:02:47,166
We got the pool open, man.

44
00:02:47,233 --> 00:02:47,533
ready.

45
00:02:47,650 --> 00:02:49,683
We have not set ours up yet.

46
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:51,783
That's this coming weekend.

47
00:02:51,849 --> 00:02:53,216
planning on it, so...

48
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:55,516
How about you, brother Brian?

49
00:02:55,566 --> 00:02:58,916
Doing good, doing good back to the grind this morning.

50
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,033
But doing good.

51
00:03:01,099 --> 00:03:04,633
I'm ready for some semi-warm

52
00:03:04,633 --> 00:03:07,933
 weather, you know, I don't know about 90, you know, 95,

53
00:03:07,933 --> 00:03:11,583
 but I got all my stuff.

54
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:14,949
I'm going to do like a raise garden this time and I

55
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:17,949
 got all my plants and stuff, but I hadn't, I was

56
00:03:17,949 --> 00:03:21,116
 waiting till Thursday to plan them because we got some

57
00:03:21,133 --> 00:03:24,300
 cold nights, you know, at 42 this morning and it's

58
00:03:24,316 --> 00:03:25,866
 going to be in the 40s tomorrow morning.

59
00:03:25,933 --> 00:03:28,933
I think Thursday I'm going to try to

60
00:03:28,933 --> 00:03:31,633
 put those put those in the dirt right now.

61
00:03:31,699 --> 00:03:33,199
They just sitting in a...

62
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:33,966
Blackberry winter.

63
00:03:34,033 --> 00:03:36,000
Yep, yeah, it is blackberry winter.

64
00:03:36,066 --> 00:03:37,616
Yeah, absolutely.

65
00:03:37,699 --> 00:03:39,500
All right.

66
00:03:39,550 --> 00:03:43,316
Well, we're going to be going with Revelation 17 tonight,

67
00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:46,633
 and just a real quick bit that I ran

68
00:03:46,633 --> 00:03:49,633
 into earlier this week, kind of caught me off guard,

69
00:03:49,633 --> 00:03:52,983
 or didn't really catch me off guard, but was an interesting thing that I got to see.

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,050
And maybe when we finished Revelation, we can dive into

71
00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:59,216
 some of these, some of these other teachings

72
00:03:59,233 --> 00:04:02,650
 and stuff that are very non-biblical,

73
00:04:02,650 --> 00:04:06,416
 might be interesting, but there's a couple of YouTube channels.

74
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:06,800
I watch.

75
00:04:06,849 --> 00:04:10,016
One of them's the cults to consciousness channel and hearing people

76
00:04:10,033 --> 00:04:13,083
 that have come out of these really crazy cults and the stuff

77
00:04:13,099 --> 00:04:16,216
 that they were taught growing up and the stuff that people were,

78
00:04:16,216 --> 00:04:19,266
 they believed were Bible, that they,

79
00:04:19,266 --> 00:04:21,600
 to this day, believe Christians believe some of this stuff.

80
00:04:21,666 --> 00:04:24,666
Like some of them have just turned their back entirely because of the way they

81
00:04:24,666 --> 00:04:27,233
 were treated and the things that happened to them growing up.

82
00:04:27,316 --> 00:04:30,366
But it was interesting to have one of the ladies that had

83
00:04:30,366 --> 00:04:33,416
 come out of a really rough one, and I don't remember which cult it was, but

84
00:04:33,433 --> 00:04:36,666
 I mean, just horrible, horrible stuff she went through, and

85
00:04:36,666 --> 00:04:40,683
 she made the statement when she was talking with the girl that was that does the interviews and everything.

86
00:04:40,750 --> 00:04:44,283
She said, you know, I've had to learn to be very careful.

87
00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:47,350
I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater because they did

88
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:50,583
 teach me some good things and that are useful

89
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,649
 and that are, you know, a good, you know, how to how

90
00:04:53,649 --> 00:04:56,699
 to live a good life and a lot of people, a lot

91
00:04:56,716 --> 00:04:58,750
 of people that have left have just tossed all of it.

92
00:04:58,816 --> 00:05:00,550
And they toss the good with the bad.

93
00:05:00,616 --> 00:05:03,666
And she's like, and I've had to really learn how to throw the bad out,

94
00:05:03,666 --> 00:05:06,666
 but come back to the good and realize there are good things

95
00:05:06,666 --> 00:05:10,083
 that they taught me and that go along with the scripture

96
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:12,016
 and this girl, I believe, is a Christian now.

97
00:05:12,066 --> 00:05:15,533
And it was just really interesting to see that and see that conversion

98
00:05:15,550 --> 00:05:19,149
 of going from what she thought Christianity was to basically

99
00:05:19,149 --> 00:05:22,199
 being an atheist for a time and then coming back and going, oh, wait,

100
00:05:22,216 --> 00:05:23,949
 no, that was a lot of truth there.

101
00:05:24,016 --> 00:05:26,283
And I don't need to turn my back on all of it.

102
00:05:26,350 --> 00:05:28,266
So that was a really interesting thing.

103
00:05:28,333 --> 00:05:29,399
I hope we can do that.

104
00:05:29,466 --> 00:05:32,699
But the other one is a young lady named Melissa

105
00:05:32,716 --> 00:05:34,216
 Doherty.

106
00:05:34,266 --> 00:05:37,566
She's from New Mexico, and she grew

107
00:05:37,566 --> 00:05:40,683
 up in a lot of mysticism and a lot of the new

108
00:05:40,699 --> 00:05:43,699
 age philosophy stuff, and her big

109
00:05:43,699 --> 00:05:46,933
 thing is dealing with how much that has infiltrated

110
00:05:46,933 --> 00:05:49,633
 Christianity, especially in the United States.

111
00:05:49,699 --> 00:05:52,866
And, you know, so she is really down

112
00:05:52,866 --> 00:05:56,100
 on a lot of the, uh, the word of faith ministries,

113
00:05:56,116 --> 00:05:59,116
 a lot of the, um, the, the,

114
00:05:59,116 --> 00:06:02,233
 the, prosperity gospel teachings because that is

115
00:06:02,233 --> 00:06:03,850
 just straight up witchcraft.

116
00:06:03,916 --> 00:06:04,983
I mean, that's what it is.

117
00:06:05,050 --> 00:06:08,166
And, uh, it was interesting that they

118
00:06:08,166 --> 00:06:11,166
 started, they were going through and her and this other lady who's

119
00:06:11,166 --> 00:06:14,399
 actually a Christian psychologist who's who's gotten to interview people and

120
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:18,366
 deal with, uh, people that are going

121
00:06:18,366 --> 00:06:21,483
 through just crazy things, but gets to minister

122
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:23,116
 to them in a Christian perspective.

123
00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:26,583
And she was talking about a lot of them come out of that prosperity gospel

124
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,366
 teaching and stuff where they end up getting hurt and they end up having bad things happen.

125
00:06:30,366 --> 00:06:33,483
And when they get to talking with her and she's,

126
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,666
 you know, she's just like, you know, I don't understand why all of these leaders,

127
00:06:36,666 --> 00:06:39,716
 you know, they lean so heavily on treating themselves like their prophets.

128
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,850
And she said, you know, they always lean on the verse that says, you know, you're

129
00:06:42,850 --> 00:06:45,250
 not supposed to speak against the one called by God.

130
00:06:45,250 --> 00:06:48,116
And they're real quick to pull that scripture out.

131
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:48,966
And I can't remember.

132
00:06:49,033 --> 00:06:52,149
I think it's maybe kings or Deuteronomy where it says that and they're

133
00:06:52,149 --> 00:06:54,416
 real fast to pull that one out just left and right, you know.

134
00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:57,666
And she said, but they skip over the verse just a few verses later where

135
00:06:57,666 --> 00:07:00,600
 it says that a false prophet's to be taken outside the city in stone.

136
00:07:00,733 --> 00:07:04,449
And she said, I'd be real careful about pulling

137
00:07:04,449 --> 00:07:05,516
 that one out of my hat.

138
00:07:05,533 --> 00:07:08,533
And, you know, they were talking about the other thing

139
00:07:08,533 --> 00:07:11,699
 that they've seen that a big rise in in Christianity

140
00:07:11,716 --> 00:07:14,716
 Day is leaning on Matthew 18 really hard, that Matthew 18

141
00:07:14,716 --> 00:07:16,149
 principle of go to your brother.

142
00:07:16,216 --> 00:07:19,266
You know, if they won't listen, then go with 2 or 3 others, then bring

143
00:07:19,266 --> 00:07:22,266
 it before the church and then if they still won't listen, you,

144
00:07:22,266 --> 00:07:23,516
 you, you know, you remove them.

145
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,649
And she said, they're really fast to go to that one because they

146
00:07:26,649 --> 00:07:27,783
 always want to keep it private.

147
00:07:27,850 --> 00:07:30,783
They always want to keep every bad thing they do.

148
00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:32,949
Every false teaching they get called out on.

149
00:07:33,016 --> 00:07:33,783
We going to keep it private.

150
00:07:33,850 --> 00:07:34,683
We're going to keep it private.

151
00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:37,866
She said, but they totally ignore the what happens in

152
00:07:37,866 --> 00:07:41,166
 Timothy when Paul said, uh, if you have an elder that's

153
00:07:41,166 --> 00:07:44,816
 sinning and you've got 2 or 3 witnesses, you expose that publicly.

154
00:07:44,899 --> 00:07:48,133
And you call them out so that the rest of the people that are in leadership

155
00:07:48,133 --> 00:07:50,466
 can be warned, hey, that's not okay.

156
00:07:50,533 --> 00:07:54,850
And that was a really interesting concept

157
00:07:54,850 --> 00:07:55,916
 to see broken down.

158
00:07:55,933 --> 00:07:59,166
And I'm very grateful that we have people

159
00:07:59,166 --> 00:08:02,583
 here in Mountain View and leadership here that I do see actively

160
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,350
 speaking out when we have somebody in the area that starts.

161
00:08:05,416 --> 00:08:08,583
Well, I'm a pastor, and I believe blah, blah, blah, and it's just complete

162
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,766
 and total garbage, and I'm really grateful we have leadership here

163
00:08:11,766 --> 00:08:13,383
 that will step up and go, uh, wait a minute.

164
00:08:13,449 --> 00:08:15,066
That's not okay.

165
00:08:15,133 --> 00:08:16,383
You can't be teaching people that.

166
00:08:16,449 --> 00:08:17,766
And that's what we're called to do.

167
00:08:17,833 --> 00:08:21,000
That's a direct order from Paul where he says you

168
00:08:21,016 --> 00:08:24,183
 do not treat anybody special and you do this with all

169
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:27,500
 sincerity and all humbleness and all, you

170
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,366
 know, prayer, you know, and make sure you go into it carefully.

171
00:08:30,433 --> 00:08:33,666
So, you know, I hope that Christians today will

172
00:08:33,666 --> 00:08:36,833
 remember that because we have so much of that that I've been seeing.

173
00:08:36,916 --> 00:08:40,516
And, you know, as we dive into Revelation,

174
00:08:40,516 --> 00:08:43,816
 I see a lot of people starting to reach into it and pull verses

175
00:08:43,816 --> 00:08:46,266
 out of context and trying to use things in that.

176
00:08:46,333 --> 00:08:49,450
I'm like, yeah, man, you guys really need to be careful because God is

177
00:08:49,450 --> 00:08:53,950
 very harsh when he talks about people false teachings.

178
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:56,883
And he speaks about the people just lying about it.

179
00:08:56,950 --> 00:08:59,883
I mean, he, you know, and don't get me wrong.

180
00:08:59,950 --> 00:09:03,000
I am right there with the understanding that as

181
00:09:03,016 --> 00:09:06,016
 Christians, we may be called to lay down our lives and the people that are

182
00:09:06,016 --> 00:09:09,316
 that are coming against us might win temporarily.

183
00:09:09,366 --> 00:09:12,416
be especially careful about the book of Revelation and

184
00:09:12,433 --> 00:09:14,100
 adding to it or something.

185
00:09:14,116 --> 00:09:14,466
Exactly.

186
00:09:14,533 --> 00:09:16,083
And that's what I was going to say.

187
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:19,216
It's really scary to me though, because it's very clear

188
00:09:19,216 --> 00:09:22,383
 that we are not to mess with that and we are not to...

189
00:09:22,450 --> 00:09:23,283
And he ends with it, right?

190
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:24,483
In chapter 22.

191
00:09:24,733 --> 00:09:25,383
Yeah.

192
00:09:25,450 --> 00:09:28,750
And it's it will, and which we will get to that, but it is it

193
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:29,883
 is a very clear command.

194
00:09:29,950 --> 00:09:32,766
And I do.

195
00:09:32,833 --> 00:09:35,833
I pray that if you're listening to us and if you're going through this with

196
00:09:35,833 --> 00:09:39,366
 us on this journey through Revelation with us, you

197
00:09:39,366 --> 00:09:42,299
 can take this with you and remember it and read it.

198
00:09:42,366 --> 00:09:45,366
Read it, read it, read it for yourself because you

199
00:09:45,366 --> 00:09:48,299
 need to dive into what's being said here.

200
00:09:48,366 --> 00:09:51,533
And anytime somebody brings something out of it.

201
00:09:51,616 --> 00:09:54,733
Just double check them on it because it's

202
00:09:54,733 --> 00:09:58,750
 so easy, especially in modern churches where you never bring a Bible.

203
00:09:58,816 --> 00:10:00,666
You're never encouraged to go look at it yourself.

204
00:10:00,733 --> 00:10:03,783
You're just, you know, you're going by what's in the bulletin and

205
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:04,816
 that can be topped up by anybody.

206
00:10:04,866 --> 00:10:05,633
Oh, yeah.

207
00:10:06,016 --> 00:10:08,283
And I always encourage people.

208
00:10:08,350 --> 00:10:11,583
Read, study, and make sure that you

209
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,649
 don't buy into this stuff because I promise you,

210
00:10:14,649 --> 00:10:18,000
 just because you say it doesn't mean that God's gonna do it, just

211
00:10:18,016 --> 00:10:21,666
 because you pray for it, the God's answer to you maybe no, and

212
00:10:21,666 --> 00:10:24,666
 you, you, yes, if you are saved,

213
00:10:24,666 --> 00:10:27,716
 you carry the Holy Spirit in you, but when you walk by the mirror, you're not seeing God in

214
00:10:27,733 --> 00:10:29,166
 your reflection, you're seeing you.

215
00:10:29,233 --> 00:10:33,066
You're the physical form there, and God is the

216
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:36,183
 spirit is indwelling us, and you are not God, and do not

217
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,366
 think for a 2nd that these modern teachings

218
00:10:39,366 --> 00:10:42,416
 that essentially teach that you are God, they're lies

219
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:43,799
 straight from the pit of hell.

220
00:10:43,866 --> 00:10:47,399
So, uh, and we saw,

221
00:10:47,416 --> 00:10:50,649
 you know, we're going to see uh, coming up the results of

222
00:10:50,649 --> 00:10:53,649
 that, and that's exactly what we're seeing in Revelation as

223
00:10:53,649 --> 00:10:57,116
 we as we go through it, the results of that thought on

224
00:10:57,133 --> 00:11:00,299
 the part of the Antichrist and the the false

225
00:11:00,316 --> 00:11:03,316
 prophet, uh, seeing that they really do set

226
00:11:03,316 --> 00:11:05,350
 themselves up as though they are God.

227
00:11:05,416 --> 00:11:08,950
And it is the exact same sin that Satan was cast out of heaven for.

228
00:11:09,016 --> 00:11:11,766
Those are the only 2 guys that escaped judgment too.

229
00:11:11,833 --> 00:11:12,549
Do you know that?

230
00:11:12,616 --> 00:11:15,183
They go straight to the lake of fire.

231
00:11:15,250 --> 00:11:16,083
Yeah, yeah.

232
00:11:16,149 --> 00:11:17,283
Straight to the lake.

233
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:18,483
Do not pass go.

234
00:11:18,549 --> 00:11:20,283
That's right. punish like $200.

235
00:11:20,533 --> 00:11:21,183
That's right

236
00:11:21,316 --> 00:11:23,416
That's oh, yeah, that's true.

237
00:11:23,466 --> 00:11:25,566
They don't even they don't even get to.

238
00:11:25,566 --> 00:11:26,766
They don't stand there.

239
00:11:26,833 --> 00:11:30,666
I mean, it's like, they bypass the great white, throw them all together, man.

240
00:11:30,733 --> 00:11:31,683
You're out of here.

241
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:35,216
Man, that is a, that is such a, a,

242
00:11:35,233 --> 00:11:38,583
 I think a humbling thing.

243
00:11:38,649 --> 00:11:42,183
To realize that God says this is so bad, I'm

244
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,266
 not even going to waste my time.

245
00:11:43,333 --> 00:11:44,766
You've been judged already.

246
00:11:44,833 --> 00:11:48,366
That's that is whew, that is rough.

247
00:11:48,433 --> 00:11:51,666
But anyway, we are on, I thought I'd point that out because I

248
00:11:51,666 --> 00:11:54,716
 ran across that this week and I did not realize just

249
00:11:54,733 --> 00:11:57,783
 how much was coming, but as they broke down a lot of those teachings.

250
00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:00,416
I was like, wow, some of these guys are really brazen.

251
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:03,549
And, you know, I'd heard some of them with Kenneth Copeland and people like

252
00:12:03,549 --> 00:12:06,966
 that over the years where I'm like, yeah, these guys are just nutty, but no,

253
00:12:06,966 --> 00:12:08,100
 it's it's demonic.

254
00:12:08,166 --> 00:12:09,600
It is demonic.

255
00:12:09,666 --> 00:12:10,866
Crazy eye.

256
00:12:10,933 --> 00:12:11,700
It is, man.

257
00:12:11,833 --> 00:12:12,433
You can feel it.

258
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:16,333
You get around some of that stuff and I don't know.

259
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:16,750
Anyway.

260
00:12:16,816 --> 00:12:19,333
Yeah, I could get off on it for a...

261
00:12:19,399 --> 00:12:22,216
Yeah, we're going somewhat close to it tonight, I guess, Babylon.

262
00:12:22,266 --> 00:12:22,983
Yes.

263
00:12:23,049 --> 00:12:26,049
And that's why I wanted to bring that up because this is

264
00:12:26,049 --> 00:12:29,950
 the kind of teachings that leads to what we see here and whew,

265
00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:32,950
 let's just, do, I encourage everybody, be

266
00:12:32,950 --> 00:12:34,983
 careful, be careful, be prayerful.

267
00:12:35,049 --> 00:12:38,283
And when you find somebody that is saying

268
00:12:38,299 --> 00:12:41,299
 things like that, go to your church leadership, go to the people you trust,

269
00:12:41,299 --> 00:12:44,466
 let your pastor know, talk to him about it, ask him about it,

270
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:48,416
 ask him to walk, you know, walk through you with it, walk through it with you.

271
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:51,500
And, hey, you know, I promise

272
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:54,500
 the vast majority of good pastors out there, if you bring them something they don't know

273
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:57,666
 about, they're going to say, I don't have a clue about that, but I'm going to go look it up.

274
00:12:57,733 --> 00:12:59,466
And then they'll come back and get you an answers.

275
00:12:59,533 --> 00:13:01,200
So don't don't be afraid to go to them.

276
00:13:01,266 --> 00:13:02,333
I promise they're not going to make fun of you.

277
00:13:02,416 --> 00:13:04,516
And it's why we do Bible study.

278
00:13:04,566 --> 00:13:07,500
It's why we, it's why we study the Bible.

279
00:13:07,566 --> 00:13:11,766
It's why we dig into it so that so that you can see.

280
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:15,066
I mean, you may not, hey, and that's good.

281
00:13:15,133 --> 00:13:18,483
Come to your pastor, come to a church leader, you know, an

282
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:22,149
 elder, somebody that has studied the word and maybe

283
00:13:22,149 --> 00:13:25,383
 can give you some answers if this is right or wrong or whatever.

284
00:13:25,450 --> 00:13:29,350
But what happens when you study, you

285
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:32,399
 get that glitch in your spirit that says, hm, I just

286
00:13:32,416 --> 00:13:33,966
 don't don't sound right.

287
00:13:34,033 --> 00:13:35,649
You know, I'm not swallowing that right.

288
00:13:35,716 --> 00:13:37,683
Well, you get that gift of discernment.

289
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:40,083
Where you can just have that little red flag go off.

290
00:13:40,149 --> 00:13:41,950
I think the church is lacking today.

291
00:13:42,016 --> 00:13:42,250
Yes.

292
00:13:42,250 --> 00:13:45,416
I think in the at the most part, we're lacking.

293
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:46,333
We're lacking discernment.

294
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:49,100
Yeah, that was and that was another thing that that lady pointed out.

295
00:13:49,149 --> 00:13:52,683
She was, she was raised Lutheran, so the psychologist

296
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:55,816
 that was talking to Melissa was, and she

297
00:13:55,816 --> 00:13:58,866
 was saying that, you know, there was a period

298
00:13:58,866 --> 00:14:02,033
 in the church used to be because Lutherans,

299
00:14:02,049 --> 00:14:03,850
 that, now that's one thing I will say about Lutherans.

300
00:14:03,916 --> 00:14:06,916
If you if you're ever have conversations with some of the people

301
00:14:06,916 --> 00:14:09,966
 that, especially that have raised in it, spent their life,

302
00:14:09,966 --> 00:14:13,016
 you know, really studying and getting into it, man,

303
00:14:13,033 --> 00:14:14,166
 they study church history.

304
00:14:14,233 --> 00:14:17,466
They know the history and not just of the Catholic Church.

305
00:14:17,533 --> 00:14:19,383
I'm talking, they know the history.

306
00:14:19,450 --> 00:14:22,866
They know the groups that were around outside of Catholicism during the,

307
00:14:22,866 --> 00:14:26,700
 the major, you know, period where it was considered to be the only church.

308
00:14:26,766 --> 00:14:28,316
There were other, and they can tell you.

309
00:14:28,566 --> 00:14:28,683
0

310
00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:31,566
Yeah, that was this group, in this group, and I mean, it's wild to hear them.

311
00:14:31,633 --> 00:14:33,066
They just they just know it.

312
00:14:33,133 --> 00:14:37,333
But she mentioned that there was a from the monks there.

313
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:40,399
They had a practice where, um, there was a

314
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:43,933
 period whereas you were coming up in your faith, um,

315
00:14:43,933 --> 00:14:47,049
 they took Paul's, you know, writings very seriously

316
00:14:47,049 --> 00:14:49,866
 about, hey, you're new to this.

317
00:14:49,933 --> 00:14:52,450
You don't get to teach, you get to learn.

318
00:14:52,516 --> 00:14:55,566
And then, you know, it would be this period where you were kind

319
00:14:55,566 --> 00:14:58,983
 of ready to start teaching and you were kind of ready to start taking on and

320
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,049
 they would always send an older person with you to do that

321
00:15:02,049 --> 00:15:05,649
 because that was when they knew at this point you're

322
00:15:05,649 --> 00:15:07,916
 in danger of thinking, I know more.

323
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,350
And I can handle this and I've got this new idea and

324
00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:15,299
 I've got this new information and you get really close to that.

325
00:15:15,366 --> 00:15:17,933
And there's a special word for it and I don't remember what it is.

326
00:15:18,016 --> 00:15:21,066
It's a semi-Latin word, but it was something where

327
00:15:21,066 --> 00:15:24,066
 they would be very careful about because they basically sent the older

328
00:15:24,066 --> 00:15:26,466
 guy there to smack them on the back of the head and go, stop that.

329
00:15:26,533 --> 00:15:28,750
You know, nope, that's wrong.

330
00:15:28,816 --> 00:15:32,533
And, you know, and they were very serious and she actually talked about it.

331
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,649
I read this before, but Martin Luther, you know, his

332
00:15:35,649 --> 00:15:37,149
 big thing.

333
00:15:37,216 --> 00:15:39,483
There was only a couple of paintings ever done of him.

334
00:15:39,549 --> 00:15:42,549
And one of the main ones that survived is one where he's

335
00:15:42,549 --> 00:15:45,966
 not even centered to the painting because he got really,

336
00:15:45,966 --> 00:15:49,016
 really serious with the with the artist and he

337
00:15:49,033 --> 00:15:51,666
 said, do not put me in the center because it's not about me.

338
00:15:51,733 --> 00:15:52,500
It's about him.

339
00:15:52,633 --> 00:15:56,583
And he was standing there looking at and pointing it across with Christ hanging on it.

340
00:15:56,649 --> 00:15:57,783
He said, that's what this is about.

341
00:15:57,850 --> 00:15:59,049
It's Christ, not me.

342
00:15:59,116 --> 00:16:03,316
And that level of humbleness is something that we forget today.

343
00:16:03,366 --> 00:16:07,383
And modern Christians have gotten away from because like

344
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:10,566
 I say, we often hear the teachings that basically put

345
00:16:10,566 --> 00:16:12,416
 us up as God and it's like, ugh.

346
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:15,016
So 17 one, Revelation.

347
00:16:15,066 --> 00:16:16,733
17, one.

348
00:16:16,816 --> 00:16:19,033
All right, can we go?

349
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:19,516
All right.

350
00:16:19,566 --> 00:16:20,399
Let's do one and two.

351
00:16:20,466 --> 00:16:23,466
Then one of the 7 angels who had the

352
00:16:23,466 --> 00:16:26,516
 7 bowls came and spoke with me saying, come

353
00:16:26,533 --> 00:16:29,700
 here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot

354
00:16:29,716 --> 00:16:32,716
 who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of

355
00:16:32,716 --> 00:16:35,950
 the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell

356
00:16:35,950 --> 00:16:38,883
 on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.

357
00:16:38,950 --> 00:16:43,200
So we're going to kick into a

358
00:16:43,216 --> 00:16:45,616
 2 chapter discussion about Babylon.

359
00:16:45,666 --> 00:16:47,516
about Babylon.

360
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,950
And what's interesting about this is it's

361
00:16:50,950 --> 00:16:52,866
 really called mystery Babylon, right?

362
00:16:52,933 --> 00:16:53,466
Right.

363
00:16:53,466 --> 00:16:55,500
Now, I don't I don't know.

364
00:16:55,516 --> 00:16:58,516
I'm interested

365
00:16:58,516 --> 00:16:59,533
 to see where you stand on this.

366
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,716
So, okay, so the

367
00:17:02,716 --> 00:17:05,833
 great the great whore will be what

368
00:17:05,833 --> 00:17:08,466
 is left of the church in tribulation.

369
00:17:08,533 --> 00:17:11,700
Uh, uh, the, the, now I'm

370
00:17:11,716 --> 00:17:13,516
 talking about not the true church, right?

371
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:16,266
They're a false church.

372
00:17:16,333 --> 00:17:19,683
And so that's

373
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:23,233
 going to be this great horde that we see here that's forming, I believe.

374
00:17:23,299 --> 00:17:25,633
She sits up on many waters.

375
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,849
This refers to many people.

376
00:17:27,849 --> 00:17:31,016
Anytime we talk about waters, we, you know, most of the time we're

377
00:17:31,033 --> 00:17:32,883
 talking about a group or people, group or people.

378
00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:37,200
She'll pretty much rule, whether with her false religion.

379
00:17:37,266 --> 00:17:40,433
She'll be, she'll be dominating with her faults religion.

380
00:17:40,516 --> 00:17:43,516
The kings of the earth mentioned here shows

381
00:17:43,516 --> 00:17:46,683
 that there's an unholy lights between

382
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:50,116
 an unholy alliance between the church and the state.

383
00:17:50,166 --> 00:17:53,700
You know, that's why we've got this thing here now between,

384
00:17:53,716 --> 00:17:55,516
 you know, the separation of church and state.

385
00:17:55,633 --> 00:17:57,000
I don't think people really understand.

386
00:17:57,066 --> 00:18:00,066
Well, a lot of people don't understand what

387
00:18:00,066 --> 00:18:03,116
 that really means to, it's not to keep the

388
00:18:03,133 --> 00:18:04,933
 church out of the state.

389
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,916
It's keep state out of the church, right?

390
00:18:06,966 --> 00:18:09,599
And so, I mean, we need God in the White House.

391
00:18:09,666 --> 00:18:12,900
We need God in the mayor's office and

392
00:18:12,916 --> 00:18:14,583
 the governor's office, those things.

393
00:18:14,716 --> 00:18:18,016
But yeah, there's going to be an unholy

394
00:18:18,016 --> 00:18:19,750
 alliance between this church and the state.

395
00:18:19,816 --> 00:18:21,783
They're going to be conspiring together.

396
00:18:21,849 --> 00:18:25,566
And so that's what it really means.

397
00:18:25,633 --> 00:18:28,266
The church will face judgment.

398
00:18:28,333 --> 00:18:31,683
This church, and God's judgment,

399
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:34,266
 but the beast himself will destroy her.

400
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,200
He's going to destroy this church.

401
00:18:36,250 --> 00:18:39,716
So you see when the false prophet serves

402
00:18:39,733 --> 00:18:42,966
 its purpose, the antichrist

403
00:18:42,966 --> 00:18:46,200
 and the false prophet will they won't

404
00:18:46,216 --> 00:18:47,883
 they don't want any competition around.

405
00:18:47,950 --> 00:18:49,200
No, no.

406
00:18:49,633 --> 00:18:53,283
And this is a little bit, I think, we talked a little bit about Laodicea.

407
00:18:53,349 --> 00:18:53,883
Yeah, yeah.

408
00:18:53,950 --> 00:18:56,950
Whether that could be like the tribulation church.

409
00:18:57,016 --> 00:18:57,733
It could be, yeah.

410
00:18:57,799 --> 00:18:58,750
Yeah, very much.

411
00:18:58,750 --> 00:19:00,366
Jesus wants to vomit them out of the mouth.

412
00:19:00,433 --> 00:19:00,900
Yeah, that's right.

413
00:19:00,916 --> 00:19:01,633
They're just sickening.

414
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:02,349
Right?

415
00:19:02,416 --> 00:19:06,133
And this concept of spiritual

416
00:19:06,133 --> 00:19:10,633
 adultery, this great harlot thing is again,

417
00:19:10,633 --> 00:19:13,200
 like we talked a few weeks ago, it brings me back to Hosea, right?

418
00:19:13,266 --> 00:19:13,866
Yeah.

419
00:19:13,866 --> 00:19:14,283
Right.

420
00:19:14,349 --> 00:19:16,799
Well, God commanded him, and that was a spiritual adultery.

421
00:19:16,866 --> 00:19:20,216
what he was trying to demonstrate Israel that they drifted away.

422
00:19:20,299 --> 00:19:23,299
So this, what's going to end up

423
00:19:23,299 --> 00:19:26,416
 being called Babylon or mystery Babylon here

424
00:19:26,416 --> 00:19:29,533
 is something that must have

425
00:19:29,533 --> 00:19:32,700
 had some semblance of Christianity or something

426
00:19:32,716 --> 00:19:36,066
 about it that was connected to God somehow before

427
00:19:36,066 --> 00:19:38,033
 they just went off the rails.

428
00:19:38,116 --> 00:19:41,416
Yeah, I think what we're going to see is it's going to be a combination

429
00:19:41,416 --> 00:19:44,166
 of almost every religion known to man.

430
00:19:44,233 --> 00:19:45,299
It's going have to be.

431
00:19:45,366 --> 00:19:49,316
I think so, yeah, because it's got to attract everybody, right?

432
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,266
So it's got it's like, hey, there's something for everybody here.

433
00:19:52,333 --> 00:19:55,333
And we kind of hear that now and some false religions, don't we?

434
00:19:55,450 --> 00:19:58,450
Yeah, I mean, you know, hey, we'll make you feel any way you want

435
00:19:58,450 --> 00:20:01,683
 to feel and and we'll, uh, you know,

436
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:05,049
 will adhere to, to what your thoughts are and and we'll,

437
00:20:05,049 --> 00:20:08,099
 we'll, we'll just, you know, pet that along and make

438
00:20:08,116 --> 00:20:09,916
 you feel good about being in our church.

439
00:20:09,966 --> 00:20:13,133
Um, it's, uh, and

440
00:20:13,150 --> 00:20:16,566
 I think, yeah, I think it's, it's, uh, the Christianity

441
00:20:16,566 --> 00:20:19,733
 part of it is definitely going to have to be, there's, it's

442
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:22,500
 going to have to be in there somewhere, but it's just going to be all twisted up.

443
00:20:22,566 --> 00:20:25,616
We talked about this a

444
00:20:25,633 --> 00:20:29,099
 little bit before, you know, if the rapture happened today.

445
00:20:29,166 --> 00:20:32,466
If it were to take place right here while we're

446
00:20:32,466 --> 00:20:35,933
 doing this podcast, church would go on this Sunday.

447
00:20:36,016 --> 00:20:39,066
Yeah, I hope not at Mountain View.

448
00:20:39,133 --> 00:20:41,533
You better not be a pastor here.

449
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:42,366
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

450
00:20:42,433 --> 00:20:46,500
It's

451
00:20:46,516 --> 00:20:47,583
 going to be the youth pastor, Jake.

452
00:20:47,716 --> 00:20:48,366
I'm just kidding.

453
00:20:48,433 --> 00:20:52,933
But

454
00:20:52,933 --> 00:20:56,950
 no, so there'll be there'll

455
00:20:56,950 --> 00:21:00,000
 be remnants here of what looks like a church,

456
00:21:00,016 --> 00:21:01,750
 but there will be pastors.

457
00:21:01,816 --> 00:21:03,133
That's a sad thing, right?

458
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,250
There'll be there'll be a lot of these false prophets, these people

459
00:21:06,250 --> 00:21:09,299
 who never accepted Christ as savor, they they

460
00:21:09,316 --> 00:21:12,916
 were dabbling in in self, you know, gratification

461
00:21:12,916 --> 00:21:16,033
 and and what can I get out of this for me and those kind of things?

462
00:21:16,033 --> 00:21:19,266
that they're going they're going to have a form of religion,

463
00:21:19,266 --> 00:21:23,516
 but they're going to be a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.

464
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,833
And so church will go on.

465
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:30,500
And you got to think, hopefully a

466
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:33,549
 lot of these, hopefully a lot of churches like ours won't

467
00:21:33,549 --> 00:21:35,049
 be in business.

468
00:21:35,116 --> 00:21:38,349
And so there'll be people flocking together.

469
00:21:38,416 --> 00:21:42,250
You know, and I'm going to get into here.

470
00:21:42,250 --> 00:21:45,299
I'm going to say something that's probably going to step on

471
00:21:45,316 --> 00:21:46,683
 some toes and hurt some feelings.

472
00:21:46,750 --> 00:21:50,700
Um, and and I don't, I don't say this about,

473
00:21:50,766 --> 00:21:54,533
I don't say this about every church like this because

474
00:21:54,549 --> 00:21:57,666
 I think there probably are some good ones and I know some good pastors

475
00:21:57,666 --> 00:21:59,633
 out there that pastor some churches like this.

476
00:21:59,716 --> 00:22:03,433
But the non-denominational thing, uh,

477
00:22:03,433 --> 00:22:04,633
 be very careful.

478
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:07,866
If you're out there looking for a church and

479
00:22:07,866 --> 00:22:11,166
 you say, you know, I just, you know, I grew up here,

480
00:22:11,166 --> 00:22:14,333
 but, you know, I don't, maybe I believe this and this.

481
00:22:14,416 --> 00:22:18,066
What it ends up being a lot of times, and again,

482
00:22:18,066 --> 00:22:21,116
 not every time, but what it ends up being a lot of times is,

483
00:22:21,133 --> 00:22:23,049
 you know, this pastor got hurt here.

484
00:22:23,116 --> 00:22:26,583
He didn't, he got away from his denomination because of something.

485
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:28,866
That's not the case every time, but a lot of times it is.

486
00:22:28,933 --> 00:22:32,349
And then he starts bringing in people who will surround

487
00:22:32,349 --> 00:22:35,766
 him and maybe, you know, maybe this guy grew up, Methodist.

488
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:37,099
Maybe this guy grew up Baptist.

489
00:22:37,150 --> 00:22:38,650
Maybe this guy grew up, Church of God.

490
00:22:38,716 --> 00:22:40,083
Maybe this guy grew up Lutheran.

491
00:22:40,150 --> 00:22:41,700
Maybe this guy grew up, whatever, whatever.

492
00:22:41,766 --> 00:22:45,900
And you see this big combination of of things

493
00:22:45,916 --> 00:22:48,483
 that just, again, it fits everybody.

494
00:22:48,616 --> 00:22:51,916
Everybody can adhere to it and can

495
00:22:51,916 --> 00:22:55,516
 find something in it that they can feel like they belong.

496
00:22:55,566 --> 00:22:58,083
Uh, and and you, this is what,

497
00:22:58,150 --> 00:23:01,316
I mean, it's going to be a melting pot of beliefs,

498
00:23:01,333 --> 00:23:04,566
 except it's going to get outside of Christianity.

499
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:07,633
Christianity will be a little bit part of it, but it's

500
00:23:07,633 --> 00:23:08,950
 going to get so far outside.

501
00:23:09,016 --> 00:23:12,433
I mean, you'll have Islam, uh, you'll have, uh,

502
00:23:12,433 --> 00:23:15,666
 you know, all all those, all the different religions and

503
00:23:15,666 --> 00:23:17,583
 gods will be will be involved in this.

504
00:23:17,650 --> 00:23:22,083
And we're starting to see that today with the non-denominational churches.

505
00:23:22,150 --> 00:23:25,150
Again, not all, but most

506
00:23:25,150 --> 00:23:28,616
 of them start having things like that creep in very, very quickly.

507
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:31,866
And I mean, even if you look at them today, the

508
00:23:31,866 --> 00:23:34,866
 ones locally, and I've attended some of them over the

509
00:23:34,866 --> 00:23:38,166
 years, almost always, it's either word

510
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:41,883
 of faith, prosperity gospel, they,

511
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:44,900
 I mean, one of them I attended one time, every

512
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:48,066
 single Sunday when they passed around that offering plate,

513
00:23:48,066 --> 00:23:51,233
 they were reading the scripture that said, you know, talking about

514
00:23:51,250 --> 00:23:54,250
 how much you were going to be blessed based on how much you give and how

515
00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:57,900
 it was going to be multiplied to you, which

516
00:23:57,916 --> 00:23:59,349
 is not what the scripture says.

517
00:23:59,533 --> 00:24:01,083
It says, God will multiply what you get.

518
00:24:01,150 --> 00:24:02,650
doesn't say he's going to multiply it back to you.

519
00:24:02,716 --> 00:24:05,716
And they, and they just pushed it

520
00:24:05,716 --> 00:24:07,150
 and they push it and they push it.

521
00:24:07,150 --> 00:24:10,450
And you see very quickly they are, they,

522
00:24:10,450 --> 00:24:13,450
 somewhere along the way, started departing

523
00:24:13,450 --> 00:24:16,750
 from the scripture and started going for, what can we do to, and

524
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:18,483
 they get so concerned with growth?

525
00:24:18,616 --> 00:24:20,533
Well, yeah, yeah, keep the crowd.

526
00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:21,016
Right.

527
00:24:21,066 --> 00:24:24,066
And they get so concerned with that and they push it, push it, push it.

528
00:24:24,133 --> 00:24:26,099
And then, but man, they have a production.

529
00:24:26,166 --> 00:24:29,216
On Sunday mornings, they have an awesome praise band.

530
00:24:29,299 --> 00:24:30,733
They have an awesome light show.

531
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,033
They have a, you know, that video wall is something to be seen

532
00:24:34,033 --> 00:24:37,200
 in almost every single one of them, and they all have the same layout.

533
00:24:37,266 --> 00:24:40,316
I mean, and those churches, by the way,

534
00:24:40,333 --> 00:24:43,500
 it's very, very disturbing to me when I look back at the time I

535
00:24:43,516 --> 00:24:46,566
 spent it, one of them, that it didn't hit

536
00:24:46,566 --> 00:24:49,683
 me at the time, but looking back, I'm like, why is

537
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:50,833
 that room dark when I walk in there?

538
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:51,733
Yeah.

539
00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:56,233
It's like walking into a nightclub or a rock concert.

540
00:24:56,299 --> 00:24:57,133
It is dark.

541
00:24:57,133 --> 00:25:00,366
It is, you can't see where you're,

542
00:25:00,366 --> 00:25:02,466
 you can't see where you're moving around.

543
00:25:02,533 --> 00:25:06,250
It is like being at a concert somewhere and I'm like, yeah.

544
00:25:06,316 --> 00:25:08,416
Where's the sunlight in here?

545
00:25:08,466 --> 00:25:11,816
I think I think you can look at full-owned

546
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:13,933
 denominations that have gone this way already.

547
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:14,716
Yes.

548
00:25:14,766 --> 00:25:15,233
Yeah, right.

549
00:25:15,316 --> 00:25:15,733
Absolutely.

550
00:25:15,849 --> 00:25:19,016
Complete denominations that are headed down that path.

551
00:25:19,099 --> 00:25:22,216
But it's going to take it's going to take a great delusion.

552
00:25:22,266 --> 00:25:23,766
It's going to take great.

553
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:25,150
Remember the video you sent me?

554
00:25:25,216 --> 00:25:28,383
I think it's Josh Howerton, his name, talking about the Modi?

555
00:25:28,450 --> 00:25:29,400
of the Islam.

556
00:25:29,466 --> 00:25:31,683
That's their coming Masai.

557
00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:32,400
That's right, yeah.

558
00:25:32,533 --> 00:25:34,266
The Israelites are looking for Messiah.

559
00:25:34,333 --> 00:25:37,450
A lot of people are going to be fooled by this guy, this fake white

560
00:25:37,450 --> 00:25:39,066
 horse that's coming in, right?

561
00:25:39,133 --> 00:25:41,833
This anti-crisis coming in looking like the Messiah.

562
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:45,433
And he's going to bring this stuff together somehow, some way.

563
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:46,266
I agree.

564
00:25:46,333 --> 00:25:46,866
I agree.

565
00:25:46,933 --> 00:25:48,433
At least for the 1st 3.5 years.

566
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:49,033
That's right

567
00:25:49,216 --> 00:25:49,516
Yeah.

568
00:25:49,566 --> 00:25:50,166
Oh, yeah, yeah.

569
00:25:50,233 --> 00:25:53,400
It'll seem, it'll seem that, because there's,

570
00:25:53,416 --> 00:25:56,416
 let's don't take away from the fact that there's going to be difficulty here from

571
00:25:56,416 --> 00:25:59,416
 that time, but there's going to solve all the difficulties, right?

572
00:25:59,466 --> 00:26:02,700
Or he's going to make them believe that he's

573
00:26:02,716 --> 00:26:03,733
 solving all the difficulties.

574
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:04,150
Yeah.

575
00:26:04,150 --> 00:26:07,266
The problems and the issues that are going on, the hunger that's

576
00:26:07,266 --> 00:26:09,066
 going to be happening, you know, those kind of things.

577
00:26:09,133 --> 00:26:12,133
And he'll have a seven-year covenant with Israel, right?

578
00:26:12,250 --> 00:26:14,466
He's going to break it right in the middle and cease the,

579
00:26:14,533 --> 00:26:15,299
the daily offerings.

580
00:26:15,316 --> 00:26:15,849
That's right.

581
00:26:15,849 --> 00:26:16,866
And it comes out of Daniel.

582
00:26:16,933 --> 00:26:18,549
This guy is going to be something.

583
00:26:18,616 --> 00:26:19,333
He will.

584
00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:19,750
He will.

585
00:26:19,866 --> 00:26:23,400
And I mean, and we see the result of his solutions just

586
00:26:23,416 --> 00:26:26,166
 from the previous seeing the bowls poured out and what happened.

587
00:26:26,233 --> 00:26:28,266
I mean, yeah, you had it solved for a little bit.

588
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,533
then, oh, wait a minute.

589
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:31,450
Yeah, but you talk about harlotry.

590
00:26:31,516 --> 00:26:33,316
Some churches are doing right now.

591
00:26:33,366 --> 00:26:36,483
with the gay and lesbian thing with the

592
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:38,833
 transagendas and all these things that are going on.

593
00:26:38,900 --> 00:26:42,016
I've seen some videos on Facebook, some of these preachers on here are

594
00:26:42,016 --> 00:26:44,650
 giving these weird communion addresses.

595
00:26:45,316 --> 00:26:46,266
It's like, man, live.

596
00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:47,233
Yeah, yeah.

597
00:26:47,299 --> 00:26:48,066
Oh my goodness.

598
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,250
Some of the stuff that's out there right now and some of the stuff

599
00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:54,549
 that people are listening to and hearing in these

600
00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:58,200
 churches that they're putting out there, especially on, you know, like

601
00:26:58,216 --> 00:27:01,216
 you said, the gay and lesbian side and, you

602
00:27:01,216 --> 00:27:04,266
 know, out there twisting the scriptures up and saying, okay,

603
00:27:04,266 --> 00:27:07,433
 well, you know, this is, this is, um, I heard one that

604
00:27:07,450 --> 00:27:10,450
 said, uh, this, this book is about

605
00:27:10,450 --> 00:27:12,849
 God, but not, but not from God.

606
00:27:12,916 --> 00:27:16,033
You know, I mean, it's like it's stories

607
00:27:16,033 --> 00:27:19,333
 about God, but that because they can say that that

608
00:27:19,333 --> 00:27:22,983
 way that the scripture does not become the final authority, right?

609
00:27:23,049 --> 00:27:26,400
It's just a book and they don't have a final authority,

610
00:27:26,416 --> 00:27:27,549
 then it's anything goes.

611
00:27:27,616 --> 00:27:29,650
Well, again, that goes back to that new thought.

612
00:27:29,716 --> 00:27:32,416
Truth comes from within because God is within you.

613
00:27:32,466 --> 00:27:33,783
So therefore truth comes from within.

614
00:27:33,849 --> 00:27:35,349
It doesn't come from without it.

615
00:27:35,416 --> 00:27:36,133
It doesn't come from God.

616
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,799
I tell you one of the most disturbing things I've heard and it's sneaky.

617
00:27:39,849 --> 00:27:42,900
It's sneaky, is when certain people from certain

618
00:27:42,916 --> 00:27:45,616
 denominations put unity above everything else.

619
00:27:45,666 --> 00:27:46,266
Yeah.

620
00:27:46,266 --> 00:27:46,866
Yes.

621
00:27:46,933 --> 00:27:48,250
we got to have the unity.

622
00:27:48,316 --> 00:27:49,683
We've got to be able to get along with each other.

623
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:52,016
They don't have anything to base the unity on.

624
00:27:52,150 --> 00:27:53,950
Don't look at scripture, unity.

625
00:27:54,016 --> 00:27:55,566
Look at the spirit for the unity.

626
00:27:55,633 --> 00:27:58,633
It's just whatever the wins of the culture are.

627
00:27:58,750 --> 00:27:59,466
That's right.

628
00:27:59,533 --> 00:28:00,066
Yeah, yeah.

629
00:28:00,133 --> 00:28:02,400
If we can come together on this thing.

630
00:28:02,466 --> 00:28:02,883
Yeah.

631
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:06,000
Because, you know, the Bible tells us

632
00:28:06,016 --> 00:28:09,183
 it talks about unity, but it says one mind and

633
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,299
 one accord, and that's in the spirit of God.

634
00:28:11,349 --> 00:28:12,666
Yes, that's right.

635
00:28:12,733 --> 00:28:13,150
That's right.

636
00:28:13,216 --> 00:28:15,066
Absolutely.

637
00:28:15,133 --> 00:28:16,033
Yeah, absolutely.

638
00:28:16,099 --> 00:28:19,633
So these we got we got spiritual adultery.

639
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:22,933
And, and, uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but this

640
00:28:22,933 --> 00:28:25,933
 is this is looking back again, this is probably like starting, well,

641
00:28:25,933 --> 00:28:27,666
 starting all over at the 1st of the tribulation.

642
00:28:27,733 --> 00:28:28,799
Yeah, I agree.

643
00:28:28,816 --> 00:28:31,933
And we're looking at a, at a, I guess you'd call it a church

644
00:28:31,933 --> 00:28:33,900
 part of the Babylon.

645
00:28:33,966 --> 00:28:34,683
Yeah, right.

646
00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:35,900
Here's what we're going to be looking at.

647
00:28:35,950 --> 00:28:38,283
Yeah, yeah, that's where it's going to be borne out of.

648
00:28:38,416 --> 00:28:38,883
Yeah.

649
00:28:39,016 --> 00:28:40,266
Absolutely.

650
00:28:40,333 --> 00:28:43,799
It's just it's

651
00:28:43,816 --> 00:28:45,066
 just kind of kind of funny too.

652
00:28:45,133 --> 00:28:48,299
I think of, I think of,

653
00:28:48,316 --> 00:28:51,666
 and I've heard this, this, this, uh, theory

654
00:28:51,666 --> 00:28:55,383
 that the U.S. is is mystery Babylon.

655
00:28:55,450 --> 00:28:56,700
Yeah.

656
00:28:56,716 --> 00:28:59,349
It's hard to buy into.

657
00:28:59,766 --> 00:29:00,116
It is.

658
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,866
And it could just as easily be Western Europe.

659
00:29:01,933 --> 00:29:04,933
I mean, they've both been, you know, really Christian places that

660
00:29:04,933 --> 00:29:06,066
 have drifted away from it.

661
00:29:06,133 --> 00:29:09,483
But I think it's what we got to remember is this is global.

662
00:29:09,549 --> 00:29:10,450
Right.

663
00:29:10,450 --> 00:29:11,466
It's the whole world.

664
00:29:11,533 --> 00:29:15,366
And this this guy that's the this religious leader.

665
00:29:15,433 --> 00:29:15,966
I don't know.

666
00:29:16,033 --> 00:29:16,866
I've heard different

667
00:29:17,233 --> 00:29:18,000
different things.

668
00:29:18,066 --> 00:29:21,233
And, you know, I've read that some some

669
00:29:21,250 --> 00:29:24,366
 commentaries and some common theologians think

670
00:29:24,366 --> 00:29:27,900
 it could come out of, you know, be like a pope or somebody like that.

671
00:29:27,966 --> 00:29:31,083
I don't, I don't know that that it

672
00:29:31,099 --> 00:29:34,633
 will be that, um, that set in that certain religion.

673
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:38,766
I think this guy's going to come up and say, okay, you know, I'm not

674
00:29:39,066 --> 00:29:42,066
I'm not following Catholicism to the T.

675
00:29:42,133 --> 00:29:45,133
I'm not following the Baptist Church or the Methodist

676
00:29:45,133 --> 00:29:47,950
 Church or the or the...

677
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,799
I mean, these people, here's another thing too.

678
00:29:51,849 --> 00:29:55,616
All these all these false churches like Latter-day Saints,

679
00:29:55,633 --> 00:29:58,750
 and they Jehovah's Witness Church,

680
00:29:58,750 --> 00:30:00,183
 they're going to be going into this thing.

681
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,316
And so they're going to be looking for somebody that's

682
00:30:03,316 --> 00:30:06,666
 going to bring them some, uh, some,

683
00:30:06,666 --> 00:30:09,833
 it's going to enlighten them, you know, and and they're going to say,

684
00:30:09,849 --> 00:30:12,666
 oh, okay, yeah, we, hey, we could adhere to this too.

685
00:30:12,733 --> 00:30:14,533
And if you're Catholic, you can hear this.

686
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:15,616
if you're this, you're that.

687
00:30:15,666 --> 00:30:18,783
And you're just going to just, like you said, this is mesh of

688
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:20,299
 crap.

689
00:30:20,349 --> 00:30:21,549
It really is.

690
00:30:21,616 --> 00:30:21,966
Yeah.

691
00:30:21,966 --> 00:30:22,500
It really is.

692
00:30:22,633 --> 00:30:22,983
Yeah.

693
00:30:23,049 --> 00:30:24,250
It really is.

694
00:30:24,316 --> 00:30:26,166
Verse three?

695
00:30:26,233 --> 00:30:28,566
Is that where we're at?

696
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:32,299
Verse 3 is so

697
00:30:32,299 --> 00:30:35,716
 he carried me away in the spirit into

698
00:30:35,716 --> 00:30:38,716
 the wilderness and I saw a woman sit up on

699
00:30:38,716 --> 00:30:41,716
 a scarlet colored beast full of names of

700
00:30:41,716 --> 00:30:45,250
 blasphemy having 7 heads and 10 horns.

701
00:30:45,366 --> 00:30:49,016
Um, Do we slice power?

702
00:30:49,099 --> 00:30:53,049
Did a lot, just go ahead.

703
00:30:53,166 --> 00:30:56,933
I think Dennis turned the light off on us without thinking about it.

704
00:30:57,016 --> 00:31:01,266
Anyway, okay, we're in we're in the dark.

705
00:31:01,333 --> 00:31:02,349
We're reading.

706
00:31:02,416 --> 00:31:03,066
I'm going to go hit that.

707
00:31:03,133 --> 00:31:06,133
We lost one, but we'll get back

708
00:31:06,133 --> 00:31:07,200
 to this in just a minute.

709
00:31:07,266 --> 00:31:10,433
But yeah, so this

710
00:31:10,450 --> 00:31:13,150
 church, let's go back to verse one and two.

711
00:31:13,216 --> 00:31:16,566
this church that we're talking about, again,

712
00:31:16,566 --> 00:31:21,000
 is going to have an unholy alliance with the state.

713
00:31:21,066 --> 00:31:22,683
We didn't we didn't get into that much.

714
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:24,483
We just kind of scratched the service of that.

715
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:27,666
As you know, as you know right now,

716
00:31:27,666 --> 00:31:30,666
 most of government, most of the

717
00:31:30,666 --> 00:31:34,200
 government does not want to have

718
00:31:34,216 --> 00:31:37,816
 anything to do with religion.

719
00:31:37,866 --> 00:31:41,166
Now, there's some there's

720
00:31:41,166 --> 00:31:43,016
 some religious people in our government.

721
00:31:43,099 --> 00:31:46,633
There's some Christians in our government who want

722
00:31:46,633 --> 00:31:50,049
 to do the right thing, but I think our government, our

723
00:31:50,049 --> 00:31:53,349
 government body as a whole, had

724
00:31:53,349 --> 00:31:56,950
 rather just keep religion out of the whole thing and keep Christianity,

725
00:31:56,950 --> 00:32:00,366
 especially out of the whole thing, so that they can just make

726
00:32:00,366 --> 00:32:03,599
 the rules and the regulations and do the things that they need to do.

727
00:32:03,666 --> 00:32:07,016
So again, this is going to be an unholy

728
00:32:07,033 --> 00:32:10,200
 alliance between the church and the state.

729
00:32:10,333 --> 00:32:12,250
So, all right, we got Dennis back.

730
00:32:12,316 --> 00:32:14,166
So they're going to go with verse three.

731
00:32:14,233 --> 00:32:16,933
Dennis turn the lights out on us on the way out too.

732
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,849
He left us in the dark.

733
00:32:18,916 --> 00:32:21,066
At the bottom of the stairs.

734
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,766
Really?

735
00:32:23,833 --> 00:32:25,150
I guess.

736
00:32:25,150 --> 00:32:26,583
Yeah, he was in heart.

737
00:32:26,599 --> 00:32:29,116
Sometimes sometimes it happens.

738
00:32:29,166 --> 00:32:31,500
Sorry about that, guy.

739
00:32:31,566 --> 00:32:32,166
No, you're good.

740
00:32:32,233 --> 00:32:33,183
That was great.

741
00:32:33,250 --> 00:32:34,316
He's like, did we lose power?

742
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,833
And I'm like, no, we still got power.

743
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:36,500
What's going on?

744
00:32:36,549 --> 00:32:38,099
No, we're in here.

745
00:32:38,116 --> 00:32:38,833
Okay.

746
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:41,116
The spirit left with me.

747
00:32:41,166 --> 00:32:44,283
Yeah, dog's not blessing this unless Dennis is in here

748
00:32:44,299 --> 00:32:45,433
 in the room with us.

749
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:47,000
I got you, Lord.

750
00:32:47,049 --> 00:32:47,883
Okay, okay.

751
00:32:47,950 --> 00:32:48,966
All right.

752
00:32:48,966 --> 00:32:49,916
I'm okay.

753
00:32:49,933 --> 00:32:51,366
I'll go back and read verse 3 again.

754
00:32:51,433 --> 00:32:52,383
Oh, man.

755
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,633
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness.

756
00:32:55,633 --> 00:32:57,599
I think that's what he done with Dennis.

757
00:32:57,666 --> 00:32:58,916
carry him away.

758
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
And I

759
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
 saw a woman sit up on a scarlet colored beast

760
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,016
 full of names of blasphemy, having 7 heads and 10 horns.

761
00:33:09,366 --> 00:33:12,366
So I believe this is

762
00:33:12,366 --> 00:33:16,083
 most likely a literal wilderness that

763
00:33:16,099 --> 00:33:17,900
 John was brought into.

764
00:33:17,950 --> 00:33:21,966
Uh, even though this chapter has a lot of symbolism in it.

765
00:33:22,033 --> 00:33:22,383
It really does.

766
00:33:22,450 --> 00:33:25,983
It has a lot of symbolism in it around Babylon and Rome.

767
00:33:26,049 --> 00:33:29,099
There's there's, but I believe there's a literal wilderness here and there

768
00:33:29,116 --> 00:33:30,366
 is around those areas right there.

769
00:33:30,433 --> 00:33:33,433
This

770
00:33:33,433 --> 00:33:36,483
 also would show the

771
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:40,099
 condition of the world during that time.

772
00:33:40,216 --> 00:33:43,150
I mean, it really gives us a picture of it.

773
00:33:43,216 --> 00:33:44,049
like a desert.

774
00:33:44,116 --> 00:33:44,466
It is.

775
00:33:44,533 --> 00:33:45,366
It's wild.

776
00:33:45,433 --> 00:33:47,883
It's untamed, you know, what's there.

777
00:33:47,950 --> 00:33:49,450
Desolate.

778
00:33:49,516 --> 00:33:52,266
Verse 18 tells us who this woman is.

779
00:33:52,333 --> 00:33:54,133
She's a great city.

780
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,500
And that city could very well be wrong.

781
00:33:57,549 --> 00:34:01,083
that a lot of people, a lot of folks

782
00:34:01,099 --> 00:34:02,833
 think that that may be the city.

783
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:05,950
We don't know that for sure, but at this time, the

784
00:34:05,950 --> 00:34:09,849
 Antichrist is ruling over a restored Roman Empire.

785
00:34:09,916 --> 00:34:12,966
That includes all the regions

786
00:34:12,966 --> 00:34:14,633
 of the world coming together.

787
00:34:14,716 --> 00:34:17,766
So, you know, I mean, it could be, it could

788
00:34:17,766 --> 00:34:18,783
 be in that place.

789
00:34:18,849 --> 00:34:21,849
It could be, as this restored Roman Empire,

790
00:34:21,849 --> 00:34:25,150
 it could be in Rome where it could just be another

791
00:34:25,150 --> 00:34:26,216
 symbolism there.

792
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:29,466
Have you heard them say today that no matter what

793
00:34:29,466 --> 00:34:32,883
 religion that you are or

794
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:36,016
 how you believe, it's just another path to heaven.

795
00:34:36,066 --> 00:34:37,800
Oh, right. which lead to heaven.

796
00:34:37,866 --> 00:34:38,583
Yeah, yeah.

797
00:34:38,650 --> 00:34:40,199
All the time.

798
00:34:40,216 --> 00:34:41,116
What did Jesus say?

799
00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:41,699
Yeah.

800
00:34:41,766 --> 00:34:43,683
He said, I am the way, the truth.

801
00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:44,099
Why?

802
00:34:44,166 --> 00:34:46,316
And no one comes to the father but by me.

803
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,500
So there's one way.

804
00:34:48,550 --> 00:34:51,116
And that one way is through Jesus, the Son of God.

805
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,000
He's the prince of peace.

806
00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:56,050
The alpha and Ome, the 1st and the last, the beginning

807
00:34:56,050 --> 00:34:59,099
 and the end, the rose of sharing, the everlasting

808
00:34:59,116 --> 00:35:03,849
 God, Yahweh, saved your king, and we could go on and on, on.

809
00:35:03,916 --> 00:35:04,633
Yes, amen.

810
00:35:04,699 --> 00:35:07,216
Before Abraham was, I am, right?

811
00:35:07,266 --> 00:35:10,800
So verse 9 describes this

812
00:35:10,816 --> 00:35:13,816
 city set on 7 mountains.

813
00:35:13,866 --> 00:35:16,383
Again, Rome was a city of 7 Hills.

814
00:35:16,449 --> 00:35:17,699
But the next verse.

815
00:35:17,766 --> 00:35:19,016
The next verse.

816
00:35:19,099 --> 00:35:19,866
Yeah, yeah.

817
00:35:19,933 --> 00:35:21,849
And there are 7 kings.

818
00:35:21,916 --> 00:35:22,816
Right, right.

819
00:35:22,866 --> 00:35:25,316
So we have to get into that too.

820
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,816
You might want to bounce on through 4 through a few of these.

821
00:35:28,866 --> 00:35:32,883
Four and 5 definitely together and then,

822
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:35,233
 but we'll just, yeah, whatever, whatever y'all want to.

823
00:35:35,283 --> 00:35:37,683
But full of names of blasts me.

824
00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:40,800
This reveals how far this false religion has

825
00:35:40,816 --> 00:35:44,233
 really departed from the

826
00:35:44,233 --> 00:35:47,699
 living Christ, it's full of names of blasphemies.

827
00:35:47,766 --> 00:35:50,333
Yeah, and this is the same beast, right?

828
00:35:50,416 --> 00:35:52,083
That's 13 one?

829
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:52,983
Yes.

830
00:35:53,050 --> 00:35:56,216
the 7 heads and the 10 horns.

831
00:35:56,283 --> 00:35:59,883
So we kind of have a reference point as to who this is.

832
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:01,083
Right, right.

833
00:36:01,150 --> 00:36:03,550
And or what this is.

834
00:36:03,616 --> 00:36:07,266
And, you know, a lot of times it's, and that's something to keep in mind about this too.

835
00:36:07,333 --> 00:36:10,933
is a lot of times it'll use a symbology, like, especially for horns.

836
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,133
Daniel does the same thing.

837
00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:13,933
It could mean a king or a kingdom.

838
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:14,716
Right, right.

839
00:36:14,766 --> 00:36:17,766
So a lot of times we look at kingdoms and

840
00:36:17,766 --> 00:36:19,133
 we associate them by a certain king.

841
00:36:19,216 --> 00:36:22,083
Babylon, we usually think about Nebuchadnezzar.

842
00:36:22,216 --> 00:36:22,750
Yeah, yeah.

843
00:36:22,816 --> 00:36:23,416
Right?

844
00:36:23,466 --> 00:36:26,883
But we probably really ought to be thinking about a guy named Nimrod

845
00:36:26,900 --> 00:36:30,500
 back at the Tower of Babel, because that's where all this mess started.

846
00:36:30,550 --> 00:36:32,583
Yeah, that's where it got hairy, wasn't it?

847
00:36:32,650 --> 00:36:33,066
Yeah.

848
00:36:33,133 --> 00:36:33,599
absolutely.

849
00:36:33,666 --> 00:36:34,083
Yeah.

850
00:36:34,099 --> 00:36:35,000
Absolutely.

851
00:36:35,050 --> 00:36:38,650
So this beast, I'm thinking is the

852
00:36:38,650 --> 00:36:41,516
 political power, really, and the woman's the false church.

853
00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:46,033
And she looks like she's riding this thing.

854
00:36:46,099 --> 00:36:47,833
Yeah, yeah. dominant.

855
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:48,733
controlling it.

856
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:48,966
Yeah.

857
00:36:49,033 --> 00:36:49,566
Yeah.

858
00:36:49,633 --> 00:36:51,433
So this has to be the 1st 3.5 years, right?

859
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:53,650
where that church is really in power.

860
00:36:53,716 --> 00:36:55,633
And this woman's controlling it.

861
00:36:55,699 --> 00:36:57,550
And man, she's stinking ugly.

862
00:36:57,616 --> 00:36:59,166
Oh, yeah, she is.

863
00:36:59,233 --> 00:36:59,699
She is.

864
00:36:59,766 --> 00:37:02,816
Yeah, tell, read those next 2 verses there and

865
00:37:02,833 --> 00:37:04,150
 it kind of dives her a...

866
00:37:04,216 --> 00:37:04,816
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

867
00:37:04,866 --> 00:37:05,033
Yeah.

868
00:37:05,050 --> 00:37:06,116
Which one, 5 and six.

869
00:37:06,666 --> 00:37:07,733
4 and five. 4 and five.

870
00:37:07,816 --> 00:37:10,816
The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold

871
00:37:10,816 --> 00:37:13,866
 and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand

872
00:37:13,866 --> 00:37:17,099
 a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean

873
00:37:17,116 --> 00:37:18,916
 things of her immorality.

874
00:37:18,966 --> 00:37:21,483
And on her forehead, a name was written, a mystery.

875
00:37:21,550 --> 00:37:24,783
Babylon the great, the mother of harlots, and

876
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,349
 of the abominations of the earth.

877
00:37:28,750 --> 00:37:31,916
So, uh,

878
00:37:31,933 --> 00:37:35,766
 clothed in purple and scarlet, that was a predominant

879
00:37:35,766 --> 00:37:39,000
 color of Roman imperialism, you know, so that's

880
00:37:39,016 --> 00:37:40,333
 a ruling color.

881
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,416
Plus, it's rich.

882
00:37:41,533 --> 00:37:44,583
It's rich, yeah, this wealth, you know, every senator

883
00:37:44,599 --> 00:37:48,966
 and council war, purple stripe as a badge,

884
00:37:48,966 --> 00:37:51,233
 the emperor's robes were purple.

885
00:37:51,316 --> 00:37:54,616
Scarlet is the is a color adopted

886
00:37:54,616 --> 00:37:57,316
 by Roman Catholicism.

887
00:37:57,366 --> 00:38:00,966
So, you know, we get you get some you get some things mixed in there.

888
00:38:01,033 --> 00:38:04,083
Gilded in gold shows the beauty

889
00:38:04,099 --> 00:38:07,400
 of the outward display, but

890
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,833
 like the Pharisees,

891
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:12,316
It's full of dead men's bones, isn't it?

892
00:38:12,366 --> 00:38:15,783
Yeah, it's it's all uncleanness.

893
00:38:15,849 --> 00:38:19,316
Precious stones and pearls.

894
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,400
Again, it looks good on the outside,

895
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,833
 but it's dead within.

896
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:26,949
Matthew 23, 25 says, woe unto

897
00:38:26,949 --> 00:38:29,949
 you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you may clean the

898
00:38:29,949 --> 00:38:31,016
 outside of the cup.

899
00:38:31,099 --> 00:38:34,216
and the platter, but

900
00:38:34,216 --> 00:38:37,449
 within, they are full of extortion and

901
00:38:37,449 --> 00:38:38,516
 excess.

902
00:38:38,599 --> 00:38:39,733
Yeah.

903
00:38:39,733 --> 00:38:40,683
So.

904
00:38:40,933 --> 00:38:44,099
And this stuff describes a lot of stuff you'd think of,

905
00:38:44,116 --> 00:38:46,816
 or at least I think of when I think of a Catholic church.

906
00:38:46,866 --> 00:38:47,633
Yeah, yeah.

907
00:38:47,716 --> 00:38:48,783
Yeah, really does.

908
00:38:48,916 --> 00:38:54,250
A lot of things, you know, a lot of relics and a lot of furniture.

909
00:38:54,316 --> 00:38:57,483
Well, over the years, the Catholics have slowly

910
00:38:57,500 --> 00:38:59,166
 absorbed so much already.

911
00:38:59,233 --> 00:39:02,766
That's why I think that's one of the reasons so many people assume

912
00:39:02,766 --> 00:39:06,116
 that the Catholic Church is probably, you know, they

913
00:39:06,133 --> 00:39:08,166
 believe that that's going to be what this is coming from.

914
00:39:08,233 --> 00:39:11,349
But I think it's something totally new that comes in and the

915
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:14,099
 Catholic Church is going to just jump on board with.

916
00:39:14,166 --> 00:39:16,266
Now, I think I think the leaders of the game.

917
00:39:16,333 --> 00:39:17,533
just be a huge part of it, right?

918
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:20,300
Yeah, I think they're just going to jump right on board and be like, go to them.

919
00:39:20,416 --> 00:39:24,366
And it's not going to stay straight Catholicism, even if they start it, right?

920
00:39:24,433 --> 00:39:25,750
It's not going to stay there.

921
00:39:25,816 --> 00:39:29,466
Yeah, what it comes in turns into is absolutely insane.

922
00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:32,583
And I mean, they they have a lot of the same beliefs

923
00:39:32,599 --> 00:39:35,650
 that the Muslims have of going in and infiltrating and

924
00:39:35,650 --> 00:39:38,283
 forcefully changing people's minds.

925
00:39:38,349 --> 00:39:41,349
Um, you know, they just they, they've kind of quietened down on the

926
00:39:41,349 --> 00:39:44,216
 forceful part of it because, you know, the crusades gave them a little bit of a bad name.

927
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:47,349
But that's exactly

928
00:39:47,349 --> 00:39:50,516
 what they do is they go in, they infiltrate and they want to try and try

929
00:39:50,533 --> 00:39:53,883
 and that's why they are becoming so accepting of all these things.

930
00:39:53,949 --> 00:39:57,116
And this is going to be just one more thing when as it comes up, they're

931
00:39:57,133 --> 00:39:58,566
 just going to be right in the middle of it.

932
00:39:58,633 --> 00:40:00,250
Go, go, go.

933
00:40:00,366 --> 00:40:01,566
This is good, this is good.

934
00:40:01,633 --> 00:40:04,566
And the Muslims are going to be over here going, this is good, this is good.

935
00:40:04,633 --> 00:40:07,750
And the Jewish leaders that aren't part of the 144,000 are

936
00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:08,949
 going, this is good, this is good.

937
00:40:09,016 --> 00:40:11,233
And the Buddhists and the, pick your religion.

938
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:15,066
The Hindus, the pagans, the Satanists, the atheists

939
00:40:15,066 --> 00:40:18,533
 are going to be singing the praise of this person are

940
00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:21,849
 going to be singing the praise of this religion in this church because

941
00:40:21,849 --> 00:40:22,916
 they think it's a good thing.

942
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,400
Well, the pope, the pope has already said something about it.

943
00:40:25,449 --> 00:40:27,116
I think we're a little too rough on Islam.

944
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:28,216
Yeah, yeah.

945
00:40:28,266 --> 00:40:29,583
This new American pope.

946
00:40:29,650 --> 00:40:30,116
Right, yeah.

947
00:40:30,133 --> 00:40:30,483
Right.

948
00:40:30,550 --> 00:40:33,666
But, oh, yeah, the thing is, you look at the Catholic Church, and they've

949
00:40:33,666 --> 00:40:35,283
 picked up a lot of that junk from Babylon.

950
00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:36,599
Yeah, sure, they have.

951
00:40:36,666 --> 00:40:38,400
A lot of that stuff has come in from Babylon.

952
00:40:38,466 --> 00:40:41,516
They changed their mind a lot, but not all of them, but a lot of

953
00:40:41,533 --> 00:40:44,533
 them changed their mind on homosexuality and, you know,

954
00:40:44,533 --> 00:40:48,133
 and same sex, marriage, and abortion.

955
00:40:48,199 --> 00:40:48,800
I mean, goodness.

956
00:40:49,633 --> 00:40:52,266
I mean, officially at the top, they're still...

957
00:40:52,266 --> 00:40:54,183
They're still pretty straight there, yeah.

958
00:40:54,250 --> 00:40:54,783
But yeah.

959
00:40:54,849 --> 00:40:55,383
Who knows?

960
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,316
throughout the church.

961
00:40:57,366 --> 00:40:58,800
It's getting worse and worse.

962
00:40:58,933 --> 00:41:02,050
And a lot of these churches like the Lutheran Church and like

963
00:41:02,050 --> 00:41:05,050
 the Episcopalian Church of all, they just, and they're all

964
00:41:05,050 --> 00:41:07,316
 part of that Catholic, that Catholicism.

965
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,433
I mean, they're very close in what they believe.

966
00:41:09,433 --> 00:41:12,433
They're, um, They they never, they they

967
00:41:12,433 --> 00:41:14,233
 left and then they never dropped the influence.

968
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:14,833
Yeah.

969
00:41:14,833 --> 00:41:18,849
That's the thing that always surprised me about them is like I say, you know, and I do.

970
00:41:18,916 --> 00:41:21,849
I admire certain aspects of their historical knowledge and things like that.

971
00:41:21,916 --> 00:41:23,883
And that's wonderful, but goodness.

972
00:41:23,949 --> 00:41:27,599
The whole reason you let that we left was because the

973
00:41:27,616 --> 00:41:30,616
 Catholic church had become so corrupt and Luther was saying, hey,

974
00:41:30,616 --> 00:41:31,816
 this is not just a problem.

975
00:41:31,866 --> 00:41:33,533
I tried to change it from in the inside.

976
00:41:33,616 --> 00:41:36,616
I took them the problems and said, hey, guys, we need to fix this.

977
00:41:36,666 --> 00:41:39,233
And they completely and utterly rejected it.

978
00:41:39,316 --> 00:41:40,816
And he said the only choice is to leave.

979
00:41:40,866 --> 00:41:43,866
And it's like, but you didn't really leave.

980
00:41:43,933 --> 00:41:45,733
You took it with you.

981
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,949
You're still carrying a lot of the junk.

982
00:41:48,966 --> 00:41:49,683
A lot of junk.

983
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:51,550
And I've got some stuff.

984
00:41:51,666 --> 00:41:52,266
I did some studying.

985
00:41:52,333 --> 00:41:53,166
We'll hit it up.

986
00:41:53,233 --> 00:41:53,883
Well, verse five.

987
00:41:53,949 --> 00:41:54,849
I mean, that was it.

988
00:41:54,916 --> 00:41:58,333
That, uh, a lot of these pagan rites,

989
00:41:58,333 --> 00:42:02,166
 that, that a lot of churches have now, like the Episcopals, the Lutherans,

990
00:42:02,166 --> 00:42:06,000
 the Catholics, uh, these things came straight out of Babylon.

991
00:42:06,066 --> 00:42:08,816
And all credit to Dr. John Walbert.

992
00:42:08,900 --> 00:42:12,016
I did some reading on his and he had some background on Babylon here

993
00:42:12,016 --> 00:42:13,333
 that was just fascinating to me.

994
00:42:13,449 --> 00:42:16,616
It's, uh, it's uh, that always going

995
00:42:16,633 --> 00:42:18,183
 all the way back to the Tower of Babel.

996
00:42:18,250 --> 00:42:20,583
It's been the source of counterfeit religion.

997
00:42:20,650 --> 00:42:24,783
And ever since then has been like God

998
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,366
 pitted against Babylon ever since then.

999
00:42:27,433 --> 00:42:30,966
Because the Tower of Babel represented the pinnacle of human achievement.

1000
00:42:31,033 --> 00:42:34,800
And you look around the world today and people trust in human achievement.

1001
00:42:34,866 --> 00:42:35,816
They trust science.

1002
00:42:35,900 --> 00:42:38,949
They trust in all these things that mankind's going to just do everything.

1003
00:42:39,016 --> 00:42:41,650
They're going, the AI, just like gangbusters.

1004
00:42:41,716 --> 00:42:44,233
They're doing stuff because they can, not because they should.

1005
00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:47,716
And he said, this thing started out with a guy named Nimrod.

1006
00:42:47,766 --> 00:42:50,816
And he was the founder and he

1007
00:42:50,833 --> 00:42:53,949
 became the head of actually his wife, his

1008
00:42:53,949 --> 00:42:56,949
 wife, a woman named Simi Ramus, became the

1009
00:42:56,949 --> 00:43:00,716
 head of Babylon Mysteries with special

1010
00:43:00,733 --> 00:43:04,033
 knowledge, secret religious rites that she

1011
00:43:04,033 --> 00:43:05,050
 came up with.

1012
00:43:05,116 --> 00:43:07,816
She was the high priestess of an idol worship.

1013
00:43:07,866 --> 00:43:10,916
They had a son named Tammuz.

1014
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,566
And supposedly he was born miraculously.

1015
00:43:13,633 --> 00:43:16,866
Supposedly, he was the savior of the people,

1016
00:43:16,866 --> 00:43:20,333
 according to the promise made to Eve, and

1017
00:43:20,349 --> 00:43:22,616
 supposedly this guy got killed and got resurrected.

1018
00:43:22,699 --> 00:43:24,966
That's what they told everybody.

1019
00:43:25,033 --> 00:43:26,099
Copycat stuff, right?

1020
00:43:26,166 --> 00:43:27,599
Copycat stuff.

1021
00:43:27,666 --> 00:43:29,883
And there's something else, you know?

1022
00:43:29,949 --> 00:43:31,266
Oh, and did you notice there's 3 of them?

1023
00:43:31,333 --> 00:43:32,883
Yeah, Nimrod, his wife and the son.

1024
00:43:32,949 --> 00:43:33,900
Yeah, absolutely.

1025
00:43:33,966 --> 00:43:35,633
It's satanic coffee.

1026
00:43:35,766 --> 00:43:36,416
Holy trio, right?

1027
00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:38,466
It is.

1028
00:43:38,533 --> 00:43:39,483
Unholy trio, yeah.

1029
00:43:39,550 --> 00:43:40,083
Absolutely.

1030
00:43:40,150 --> 00:43:43,199
And, and, uh, bale worship came out about Babylon.

1031
00:43:43,266 --> 00:43:46,383
So, you know, it's just like the statue in

1032
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,449
 Daniel chapter 2, where he shows the head, the golden

1033
00:43:49,449 --> 00:43:51,250
 head is Babylon.

1034
00:43:51,316 --> 00:43:54,966
Then there's a chest and arms of silver that's Medes and Persians.

1035
00:43:55,099 --> 00:43:58,333
And then the thighs of bronze is Greece,

1036
00:43:58,333 --> 00:43:59,650
 and then there's Rome down below.

1037
00:43:59,716 --> 00:44:02,650
legs of iron and then iron and clay with 10 toes.

1038
00:44:02,716 --> 00:44:03,483
Right, yeah.

1039
00:44:03,550 --> 00:44:05,516
Yeah, it's it's kind of that kind of like that.

1040
00:44:05,599 --> 00:44:09,016
This stuff is still existing because that prophecy

1041
00:44:09,016 --> 00:44:12,016
 in Daniel chapter 2 says that the rock cut out without

1042
00:44:12,016 --> 00:44:13,816
 hands crushed the feet.

1043
00:44:14,650 --> 00:44:16,083
And the whole thing pulverized.

1044
00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:19,083
So Babylon and all those influencers are still with us today.

1045
00:44:19,216 --> 00:44:19,750
Yeah.

1046
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:22,800
And when we see them in these churches today that have taken

1047
00:44:22,816 --> 00:44:26,166
 this stuff on bail, bail worship all throughout the Old Testament

1048
00:44:26,166 --> 00:44:27,483
 came straight out of Babylon.

1049
00:44:27,550 --> 00:44:28,449
It's kind of the same thing.

1050
00:44:28,566 --> 00:44:30,833
And Roman Church still has elements of this.

1051
00:44:30,916 --> 00:44:32,166
And dig this.

1052
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:33,800
What about Masonic rites?

1053
00:44:33,849 --> 00:44:34,383
Yeah.

1054
00:44:34,449 --> 00:44:34,866
Yeah.

1055
00:44:34,933 --> 00:44:38,099
There may be somebody listening that's part of the Masons.

1056
00:44:38,166 --> 00:44:40,083
Do you know what you're doing?

1057
00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:40,916
Right.

1058
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:41,233
Yeah.

1059
00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:42,616
Do you really know the depth of it?

1060
00:44:42,666 --> 00:44:43,083
Right.

1061
00:44:43,099 --> 00:44:44,599
It comes out of Babylon.

1062
00:44:44,650 --> 00:44:46,150
Yeah, you are almost guarantee you.

1063
00:44:46,216 --> 00:44:47,283
The Masonic rites.

1064
00:44:47,349 --> 00:44:50,400
So if you ever listen to people who have actually made it

1065
00:44:50,416 --> 00:44:53,533
 very high up in the Masons, there's

1066
00:44:53,533 --> 00:44:56,583
 a guy that actually did, he wrote a book on it, he made it very high

1067
00:44:56,599 --> 00:44:57,966
 up and left.

1068
00:44:58,033 --> 00:45:02,583
The people he was directed to, the

1069
00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:05,599
 reason he became a Mason was because of the satanic

1070
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:08,833
 cult he was a part of said, oh,

1071
00:45:08,833 --> 00:45:11,699
 by the way, they're our friends, all you got to do is make it up to this level.

1072
00:45:11,766 --> 00:45:15,066
And if you take them these particular pieces

1073
00:45:15,066 --> 00:45:18,483
 of information in these particular greetings and talk to somebody of this rank,

1074
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:21,250
 they will know who you are and they will bring you in at a higher rank.

1075
00:45:21,316 --> 00:45:24,133
And he was brought in at a fairly high rank from day one.

1076
00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:25,333
He didn't have to work his way up.

1077
00:45:25,333 --> 00:45:28,199
And because he was, he already knew the rights.

1078
00:45:28,266 --> 00:45:29,699
He already knew the practices.

1079
00:45:29,716 --> 00:45:31,216
He already knew the secrets.

1080
00:45:31,266 --> 00:45:35,283
And, oh, by the way, you know who else is in with them?

1081
00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:38,583
He went up and spent some time in Utah

1082
00:45:38,599 --> 00:45:41,766
 because the Mormons back there in the back room where

1083
00:45:41,766 --> 00:45:44,766
 they only allow their high-level members, he was allowed to join that

1084
00:45:44,766 --> 00:45:47,816
 stuff because he was part, he had the right insignias and

1085
00:45:47,833 --> 00:45:50,533
 the right signatures and the right handshakes and signs and all that.

1086
00:45:50,599 --> 00:45:52,150
All of that's the same.

1087
00:45:52,216 --> 00:45:53,650
It's all satanic worship.

1088
00:45:53,716 --> 00:45:55,216
It is all demon worship.

1089
00:45:55,216 --> 00:45:57,433
And it is scary, scary stuff.

1090
00:45:57,500 --> 00:46:01,150
And I understand that people, the the rank and file.

1091
00:46:01,216 --> 00:46:01,933
generally are good people.

1092
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:02,466
They don't know.

1093
00:46:02,533 --> 00:46:03,849
Yeah, they don't know.

1094
00:46:03,916 --> 00:46:04,866
They don't know what they.

1095
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,566
I'm not saying that... just a networking thing.

1096
00:46:07,633 --> 00:46:08,166
Yeah, exactly.

1097
00:46:08,233 --> 00:46:10,750
I know a lot of great people who are just more part of a club.

1098
00:46:10,816 --> 00:46:11,766
you know, yeah.

1099
00:46:11,833 --> 00:46:14,883
but they don't understand the depth of it

1100
00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:16,633
 and where it goes back to.

1101
00:46:16,699 --> 00:46:19,699
And I get that they do some good things,

1102
00:46:19,699 --> 00:46:22,816
 but seriously, if you're a part of that, I do urge you, pray about

1103
00:46:22,816 --> 00:46:26,349
 it because you're involved with something that as

1104
00:46:26,349 --> 00:46:29,516
 you move up and if you got high enough, you're going to go, ooh, this is not good.

1105
00:46:29,599 --> 00:46:33,366
Yeah. going

1106
00:46:33,366 --> 00:46:36,300
 along with this, this golden cup of abominations.

1107
00:46:36,366 --> 00:46:39,716
It's gonna it's gonna make the world drunk

1108
00:46:39,733 --> 00:46:41,699
 with its false religion, really.

1109
00:46:41,766 --> 00:46:45,483
I mean, it's gonna, it's gonna, you know, you don't make good decisions when you're drunk.

1110
00:46:45,550 --> 00:46:48,716
Uh, Jeremiah 51, verse seven,

1111
00:46:48,733 --> 00:46:51,733
 Babylon hath been a golden cup

1112
00:46:51,733 --> 00:46:55,383
 in the Lord's hand that made all the earth drunken.

1113
00:46:55,449 --> 00:46:59,516
The nations have drunken of her wine, therefore the nations are mad.

1114
00:46:59,599 --> 00:47:02,766
So, I mean, this whole thing goes

1115
00:47:02,766 --> 00:47:04,683
 back upon her forehead.

1116
00:47:04,750 --> 00:47:07,800
She did not wear a crown, but

1117
00:47:07,816 --> 00:47:11,883
 rather, she was marked by her profession,

1118
00:47:11,900 --> 00:47:15,316
 and it, and pointed out just who she was.

1119
00:47:15,366 --> 00:47:18,416
A good woman

1120
00:47:18,433 --> 00:47:22,800
 will take a man to new heights, right?

1121
00:47:22,866 --> 00:47:26,099
I mean, it's good, a good, a good woman.

1122
00:47:26,166 --> 00:47:26,583
Will.

1123
00:47:26,650 --> 00:47:28,916
Yeah, yeah, she'll stand beside him.

1124
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,300
She'll bring, she'll bring him up and make

1125
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:33,366
 his name good.

1126
00:47:33,433 --> 00:47:36,483
Uh, that is that is what a true

1127
00:47:36,500 --> 00:47:39,250
 uh, the true church does, right?

1128
00:47:39,316 --> 00:47:40,216
For the name of Jesus.

1129
00:47:40,266 --> 00:47:42,116
We're that woman, right?

1130
00:47:42,199 --> 00:47:44,533
We lift up the name of Jesus.

1131
00:47:44,599 --> 00:47:45,966
We praise the name of Jesus.

1132
00:47:46,033 --> 00:47:49,083
We give, we give honor to his name

1133
00:47:49,099 --> 00:47:52,216
 and we reflect the true church, reflects

1134
00:47:52,216 --> 00:47:54,066
 well of who Jesus is.

1135
00:47:54,133 --> 00:47:57,133
The harlot is the woman who

1136
00:47:57,133 --> 00:48:00,483
 pulls the man down to his depths, right?

1137
00:48:00,550 --> 00:48:03,599
You get a bad woman and she's going to pull you

1138
00:48:03,616 --> 00:48:05,116
 down to your depths and you're going to,

1139
00:48:05,166 --> 00:48:06,783
I mean, look at Adam and Eve, right?

1140
00:48:06,849 --> 00:48:09,416
I mean, she's she's going to destroy you.

1141
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:12,666
Uh, and and this is this is what the false

1142
00:48:12,666 --> 00:48:14,466
 church will do to the name of God.

1143
00:48:14,599 --> 00:48:18,066
While the true church, she takes care of

1144
00:48:18,066 --> 00:48:21,900
 that name and worships that name and loves and

1145
00:48:21,916 --> 00:48:24,916
 loves her savior, but this false church

1146
00:48:24,916 --> 00:48:27,916
 will hate the savior and she will bring man

1147
00:48:27,916 --> 00:48:29,583
 down to her depths.

1148
00:48:29,650 --> 00:48:33,666
So in the

1149
00:48:33,666 --> 00:48:36,666
 name of liberating women, we have

1150
00:48:36,666 --> 00:48:40,199
 pulled them down to a place where

1151
00:48:40,216 --> 00:48:43,383
 they can't fulfill the purpose that God has for them.

1152
00:48:43,449 --> 00:48:46,083
That's, I mean, we...

1153
00:48:46,150 --> 00:48:46,683
Do what?

1154
00:48:46,750 --> 00:48:47,400
They're trying to be men

1155
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:48,550
Yes, yes.

1156
00:48:48,616 --> 00:48:52,150
I mean, listen, I know like my wife works.

1157
00:48:52,216 --> 00:48:55,333
Your wife works, you know, but there's nothing wrong with

1158
00:48:55,333 --> 00:48:58,683
 them having a career, but what they've taken away from them is

1159
00:48:58,699 --> 00:49:03,250
 the joy and the ministry of the home.

1160
00:49:03,316 --> 00:49:03,849
Right.

1161
00:49:03,849 --> 00:49:07,016
The ministry of the home to be that, to

1162
00:49:07,033 --> 00:49:10,150
 take care of that home to to to pray over it

1163
00:49:10,150 --> 00:49:13,150
 and to to make it what God wants

1164
00:49:13,150 --> 00:49:16,016
 it to be and what a beautiful, beautiful thing that it is.

1165
00:49:16,099 --> 00:49:18,133
It's not dishonoring.

1166
00:49:18,199 --> 00:49:21,250
It's more difficult than any

1167
00:49:21,250 --> 00:49:23,400
 job that we can probably ever think about having.

1168
00:49:23,466 --> 00:49:26,699
More important because she's she's

1169
00:49:26,716 --> 00:49:28,449
 helping to shape those kids.

1170
00:49:28,516 --> 00:49:31,516
Now, again, don't think, well, preachers said, you know, all

1171
00:49:31,516 --> 00:49:33,183
 up to the woman to shape the kids.

1172
00:49:33,250 --> 00:49:33,966
No, no.

1173
00:49:34,033 --> 00:49:37,083
It's up to the man to lead, and it's up to the man to

1174
00:49:37,099 --> 00:49:40,099
 show those children, his leadership,

1175
00:49:40,099 --> 00:49:43,400
 but, but, but we have taken the, the, uh, the purpose

1176
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,716
 of of the woman.

1177
00:49:44,766 --> 00:49:48,000
And we have made it something that is not

1178
00:49:48,016 --> 00:49:49,150
 what God wanted to be.

1179
00:49:49,216 --> 00:49:52,216
We've farmed, we've farmed out her responsibility to the state

1180
00:49:52,216 --> 00:49:56,050
 and we attempt to farm out the husband's responsibility to her.

1181
00:49:56,116 --> 00:49:59,349
At the end of the day, that's exactly what we've

1182
00:49:59,349 --> 00:50:02,349
 done today in America is we have farmed out,

1183
00:50:02,349 --> 00:50:05,516
 the wife's responsibility to the state

1184
00:50:05,533 --> 00:50:07,633
 to raise and nurture the children.

1185
00:50:07,699 --> 00:50:10,750
And we farmed out the father's responsibility of being the

1186
00:50:10,750 --> 00:50:12,483
 spiritual leader to, hey, mom, you deal with that.

1187
00:50:12,550 --> 00:50:14,216
And let me tell you something.

1188
00:50:14,300 --> 00:50:16,216
You want to see how quickly that turns on its head?

1189
00:50:16,266 --> 00:50:18,300
Look at where we're at.

1190
00:50:18,366 --> 00:50:19,566
Go to the prison system.

1191
00:50:19,633 --> 00:50:21,733
You want to see how quick it turns out.

1192
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,633
When the father's not where he needs to be, then the whole family's falling apart.

1193
00:50:26,166 --> 00:50:26,400
Yeah.

1194
00:50:26,466 --> 00:50:30,300
So, but Paul,

1195
00:50:30,316 --> 00:50:33,366
 Paul wrote this, uh, which I think helps explain

1196
00:50:33,366 --> 00:50:36,483
 the the, uh, the mystery of the false

1197
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:39,550
 church in 2nd Thessalonians 2.7 for the

1198
00:50:39,550 --> 00:50:42,066
 mystery of iniquity, death already work.

1199
00:50:42,133 --> 00:50:45,366
Only he who now leth will let until he

1200
00:50:45,366 --> 00:50:46,383
 be taken out of the way.

1201
00:50:46,449 --> 00:50:47,166
Amen.

1202
00:50:47,233 --> 00:50:49,199
Until the Holy Spirit.

1203
00:50:49,266 --> 00:50:50,516
And when the Holy Spirit is gone.

1204
00:50:50,599 --> 00:50:54,016
This church is already gets out there creeping up.

1205
00:50:54,066 --> 00:50:57,066
It's, it's, you know, it may,

1206
00:50:57,066 --> 00:50:58,566
 it's, it's in pieces right now.

1207
00:50:58,633 --> 00:51:02,050
It's not, it's not in one complete form.

1208
00:51:02,116 --> 00:51:03,733
It's not all together yet.

1209
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,800
It's, it's, it's, it's this false religion, and

1210
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,916
 it's false religion, and this, this twist is a

1211
00:51:09,916 --> 00:51:12,966
 twist of scripture, and this twist of scripture, and they're

1212
00:51:12,966 --> 00:51:16,083
 scattered out, and and the Holy Spirit keeps these

1213
00:51:16,099 --> 00:51:19,150
 things from, from really doing

1214
00:51:19,150 --> 00:51:21,900
 all the damage that they're going to do during this time.

1215
00:51:21,966 --> 00:51:25,383
And it's like you talked about earlier when you brought this thing up.

1216
00:51:25,449 --> 00:51:28,500
It is our job, not just as me as a pastor,

1217
00:51:28,516 --> 00:51:31,566
 but it's our job as church leaders, church

1218
00:51:31,566 --> 00:51:35,216
 members, uh, to call out false religions,

1219
00:51:35,233 --> 00:51:38,233
 things that are things that will cause uh,

1220
00:51:38,233 --> 00:51:41,766
 non-believers uh, to, uh, uh,

1221
00:51:41,766 --> 00:51:44,816
 to stumble and and never go to church

1222
00:51:44,833 --> 00:51:45,849
 and never know Jesus.

1223
00:51:45,966 --> 00:51:46,500
Yeah.

1224
00:51:46,516 --> 00:51:49,516
It will either lead, it will lead the non-believer

1225
00:51:49,516 --> 00:51:52,866
 away, and it will lead the believers astray, is

1226
00:51:52,866 --> 00:51:56,166
 the way I, that's the way I like to word that, is you're

1227
00:51:56,166 --> 00:51:58,316
 either leading them away or you're leading them astray.

1228
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,150
And that's all these false teachings do.

1229
00:52:01,216 --> 00:52:03,783
And again, it leads to what we're seeing right here.

1230
00:52:03,849 --> 00:52:07,199
It comes back to self, you know, people want to hear what they want to hear.

1231
00:52:07,266 --> 00:52:08,816
God in their own image.

1232
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:12,066
And, and, of course, this Babylon thing

1233
00:52:12,066 --> 00:52:14,883
 has a lot to do with, you know, just outright human achievement.

1234
00:52:14,949 --> 00:52:15,416
Yeah.

1235
00:52:15,433 --> 00:52:16,500
I'm invincible.

1236
00:52:16,566 --> 00:52:17,333
Yeah.

1237
00:52:17,416 --> 00:52:18,133
I'll never die.

1238
00:52:18,199 --> 00:52:18,966
Yeah.

1239
00:52:19,033 --> 00:52:19,800
That's it.

1240
00:52:19,933 --> 00:52:22,449
going to find out different.

1241
00:52:22,516 --> 00:52:23,050
That's right

1242
00:52:23,233 --> 00:52:24,300
Absolutely.

1243
00:52:24,366 --> 00:52:25,199
Absolutely.

1244
00:52:25,266 --> 00:52:28,500
Yeah, just let something, let a cancer diagnosis

1245
00:52:28,516 --> 00:52:30,183
 hit you in the face and see if you're going to live forever.

1246
00:52:30,316 --> 00:52:31,033
That's right.

1247
00:52:31,099 --> 00:52:31,333
Yeah.

1248
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,216
You realize that life is short and fragile.

1249
00:52:34,266 --> 00:52:34,733
Yeah.

1250
00:52:34,816 --> 00:52:35,650
something with it.

1251
00:52:35,716 --> 00:52:36,250
That's right.

1252
00:52:36,316 --> 00:52:36,849
Amen.

1253
00:52:36,916 --> 00:52:37,633
Amen.

1254
00:52:37,699 --> 00:52:39,366
Right, we on six?

1255
00:52:39,433 --> 00:52:41,099
Six and seven.

1256
00:52:41,166 --> 00:52:41,516
All right.

1257
00:52:41,599 --> 00:52:44,000
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the Saints.

1258
00:52:44,116 --> 00:52:46,449
and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.

1259
00:52:46,516 --> 00:52:49,216
When I saw her, I wondered greatly.

1260
00:52:49,266 --> 00:52:51,666
And the angel said to me, why do you wonder?

1261
00:52:51,733 --> 00:52:54,783
I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries

1262
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,133
 her, which has the 7 heads and the 10 horns.

1263
00:52:57,250 --> 00:53:00,550
So this woman is drunk with

1264
00:53:00,550 --> 00:53:01,616
 the blood of the saints.

1265
00:53:01,699 --> 00:53:04,866
So this is a, this is a case of

1266
00:53:04,866 --> 00:53:08,400
 a fake church persecuting real Christians.

1267
00:53:08,466 --> 00:53:09,300
Yes.

1268
00:53:09,366 --> 00:53:09,666
Yeah.

1269
00:53:09,733 --> 00:53:10,333
Amen.

1270
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:11,116
Yeah.

1271
00:53:11,233 --> 00:53:14,400
You know, and earlier, you were reading about the fact that they will be drunk

1272
00:53:14,416 --> 00:53:15,483
 on her wine.

1273
00:53:15,550 --> 00:53:16,750
What is that?

1274
00:53:16,816 --> 00:53:19,633
It's the blood of the... it's the blood of the real Christians.

1275
00:53:19,699 --> 00:53:21,066
blood of the witnesses of Jesus.

1276
00:53:21,133 --> 00:53:24,366
And this false church, it's intoxicating

1277
00:53:24,366 --> 00:53:26,699
 by the by her evil deeds, isn't it?

1278
00:53:26,766 --> 00:53:27,483
The things that she's doing.

1279
00:53:27,550 --> 00:53:30,599
It's confusing and it's it's like,

1280
00:53:30,616 --> 00:53:32,349
 oh, okay, that fits.

1281
00:53:32,416 --> 00:53:36,733
That's what's, you know, the antichrist, the false, the false prophet.

1282
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,599
He's gonna make these things fit, right?

1283
00:53:38,650 --> 00:53:39,900
Very charismatic, dude, right?

1284
00:53:39,966 --> 00:53:40,866
Yeah, absolutely.

1285
00:53:40,933 --> 00:53:42,900
Call him fire out of the sky if he needs to.

1286
00:53:42,966 --> 00:53:43,733
Yeah, absolutely.

1287
00:53:43,816 --> 00:53:45,183
doing miracles all over the place.

1288
00:53:45,250 --> 00:53:47,699
Yeah, demonic, demonic miracles.

1289
00:53:47,766 --> 00:53:50,033
Because and you say, oh, wait a minute.

1290
00:53:50,116 --> 00:53:51,433
How's he able to do these things?

1291
00:53:51,550 --> 00:53:52,866
Who do you think?

1292
00:53:52,866 --> 00:53:55,199
Who's the prince of the earth right now?

1293
00:53:55,266 --> 00:53:57,116
It's it's Satan.

1294
00:53:57,199 --> 00:53:59,116
He has control.

1295
00:53:59,166 --> 00:54:02,333
Only a limited amount of control, only

1296
00:54:02,349 --> 00:54:05,650
 the control that God lets him have, but he does have control of

1297
00:54:05,650 --> 00:54:07,083
 things and he does have power.

1298
00:54:07,150 --> 00:54:09,599
And that's why we see a lot of things that we do today.

1299
00:54:09,666 --> 00:54:12,666
And it doesn't it doesn't take much for

1300
00:54:12,666 --> 00:54:15,783
 him to be able to take the technology that we've developed and

1301
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,199
 add to that his abilities to do.

1302
00:54:19,516 --> 00:54:21,133
astounding technology.

1303
00:54:21,199 --> 00:54:24,666
I mean, you think about, you know, Satan and drug a 3rd of the angels with him.

1304
00:54:24,733 --> 00:54:27,066
These angels were present at creation.

1305
00:54:27,133 --> 00:54:30,250
They know more about physics than we ever dreamed about

1306
00:54:30,250 --> 00:54:31,383
 the way the world works.

1307
00:54:31,449 --> 00:54:34,566
They can come up with materials and all kinds of things that

1308
00:54:34,566 --> 00:54:37,916
 look like magic, that look like miracles that

1309
00:54:37,933 --> 00:54:40,683
 not just be stuff we don't know, right?

1310
00:54:40,750 --> 00:54:44,650
And that's where this, you know, I got to go here again, ten full hat time.

1311
00:54:44,716 --> 00:54:47,283
Tenfold, bring out the full.

1312
00:54:47,349 --> 00:54:50,349
Donald Trump has promised a release of

1313
00:54:50,349 --> 00:54:52,750
 all the all the stuff about UFOs this week.

1314
00:54:52,816 --> 00:54:53,349
Yeah.

1315
00:54:53,349 --> 00:54:55,683
That all the stuff that the government knows about them.

1316
00:54:55,816 --> 00:54:59,349
Well, this stuff, folks, is material

1317
00:54:59,349 --> 00:55:00,900
 science beyond human knowledge.

1318
00:55:00,966 --> 00:55:01,566
Yes.

1319
00:55:01,566 --> 00:55:03,716
But it is not extraterrestrial.

1320
00:55:03,849 --> 00:55:04,500
That's right.

1321
00:55:04,566 --> 00:55:06,533
This is not little green men from Mars.

1322
00:55:06,616 --> 00:55:07,566
This is spiritual.

1323
00:55:07,699 --> 00:55:12,066
These are demons and fallen angels and they delude people.

1324
00:55:12,133 --> 00:55:15,900
They give them these visions of being abducted

1325
00:55:15,916 --> 00:55:18,483
 by UFO and all these different things.

1326
00:55:18,550 --> 00:55:23,216
It all comes back to this mysticism and this this ugly stuff.

1327
00:55:23,300 --> 00:55:24,849
Yes, yes, I agree.

1328
00:55:24,916 --> 00:55:25,449
I agree.

1329
00:55:25,566 --> 00:55:29,033
And it's going to be a huge delusion going on during this time.

1330
00:55:29,116 --> 00:55:29,833
Yeah, yeah.

1331
00:55:29,949 --> 00:55:30,116
Yeah.

1332
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:33,666
And they'll, you know, if they can, they'll

1333
00:55:33,666 --> 00:55:37,133
 push this whole alien thing all the way into this tribulation.

1334
00:55:37,150 --> 00:55:40,383
And, and, uh, people will uh,

1335
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:41,766
 people will worship that.

1336
00:55:41,833 --> 00:55:44,883
We've watched movies where people have like, you

1337
00:55:44,900 --> 00:55:47,949
 know, come out to see these aliens come and,

1338
00:55:47,949 --> 00:55:49,750
 oh, save us, save us.

1339
00:55:49,816 --> 00:55:50,116
divorce.

1340
00:55:50,166 --> 00:55:53,466
Then we always see what happens, you know, they end up killing us.

1341
00:55:53,533 --> 00:55:54,783
Independence day.

1342
00:55:54,849 --> 00:55:56,466
Hey, why are they blowing everything up?

1343
00:55:56,533 --> 00:55:58,983
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're not going to get me.

1344
00:55:59,050 --> 00:56:00,116
We're friends.

1345
00:56:00,250 --> 00:56:02,583
Will Smith will get them with an FAA team.

1346
00:56:02,650 --> 00:56:03,416
Don't worry about it.

1347
00:56:03,500 --> 00:56:04,400
You know?

1348
00:56:05,233 --> 00:56:05,949
Well, goodness.

1349
00:56:06,016 --> 00:56:10,033
I mean, just think about, was it, oh, Heaven's Gate.

1350
00:56:10,099 --> 00:56:13,099
I mean, all those people that committed suicide back in the

1351
00:56:13,099 --> 00:56:16,266
 90s because they thought the comet that was coming was the aliens

1352
00:56:16,266 --> 00:56:19,433
 going to take them back to their and they go out and

1353
00:56:19,449 --> 00:56:21,716
 they jump off a roof and drink.

1354
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:22,866
They've been warming us up.

1355
00:56:22,933 --> 00:56:25,383
Hollywood's been warming us up since the 1950s, man.

1356
00:56:25,449 --> 00:56:27,783
Right after Israel became a nation.

1357
00:56:27,849 --> 00:56:28,500
Is it a coincidence?

1358
00:56:28,566 --> 00:56:29,466
No.

1359
00:56:29,533 --> 00:56:32,583
That's that's the biggest sign we have of the 2nd coming

1360
00:56:32,599 --> 00:56:33,666
 is Israel.

1361
00:56:33,733 --> 00:56:34,933
The dry bones came together.

1362
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,366
They're not completed yet.

1363
00:56:36,433 --> 00:56:38,283
But they're coming together.

1364
00:56:38,349 --> 00:56:39,116
Oh yeah.

1365
00:56:39,199 --> 00:56:41,300
Scientology.

1366
00:56:41,349 --> 00:56:44,349
Again, you look at what they believe and what he

1367
00:56:44,349 --> 00:56:46,983
 taught them and what he wrote about was all about aliens.

1368
00:56:47,050 --> 00:56:50,099
It's all about we're not from, we're from an

1369
00:56:50,116 --> 00:56:53,466
 extra dimensional space and you're gonna, you're,

1370
00:56:53,466 --> 00:56:54,900
 again, you are God.

1371
00:56:54,966 --> 00:56:56,516
Yeah, that's right.

1372
00:56:56,599 --> 00:56:57,066
That's right

1373
00:56:57,250 --> 00:56:57,783
Yeah.

1374
00:56:57,849 --> 00:56:58,449
And yeah.

1375
00:56:58,516 --> 00:57:00,366
It makes you want to throw up.

1376
00:57:00,433 --> 00:57:00,966
It really does.

1377
00:57:01,033 --> 00:57:03,849
And all you got to do is just trust Jesus, man.

1378
00:57:03,916 --> 00:57:07,566
If you trust Jesus, you don't have to worry about any of this stuff.

1379
00:57:07,633 --> 00:57:10,683
No, and you see things so much, well, clearly, things that

1380
00:57:10,699 --> 00:57:13,633
 you don't understand, you live by faith in them, right?

1381
00:57:13,699 --> 00:57:14,233
Yeah.

1382
00:57:14,233 --> 00:57:16,933
And this mystery here.

1383
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,000
It's, it's, you know, that's in John's

1384
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,016
 mind and the angel, the angel's going to explain this thing.

1385
00:57:24,066 --> 00:57:25,566
He's going to explain it.

1386
00:57:25,633 --> 00:57:26,699
Yeah, he's going to lay it out.

1387
00:57:26,766 --> 00:57:28,733
We start verse eight.

1388
00:57:28,750 --> 00:57:31,750
If it's okay, I'm

1389
00:57:31,750 --> 00:57:33,000
 going to go all the way through 14 here.

1390
00:57:33,066 --> 00:57:33,900
Yeah, yeah.

1391
00:57:33,916 --> 00:57:37,083
The beast that thou sawest

1392
00:57:37,099 --> 00:57:40,266
 was and is not and shall ascend

1393
00:57:40,266 --> 00:57:42,599
 out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition.

1394
00:57:42,666 --> 00:57:45,666
And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder

1395
00:57:45,666 --> 00:57:48,666
 whose names were not written in the book of

1396
00:57:48,666 --> 00:57:51,233
 life for the foundation of the world.

1397
00:57:51,316 --> 00:57:54,366
When they behold the beast that was

1398
00:57:54,366 --> 00:57:56,516
 and is not and yet is.

1399
00:57:56,599 --> 00:57:59,900
And here is the mind which hath wisdom.

1400
00:57:59,949 --> 00:58:03,116
The 7 heads are 7 mountains on

1401
00:58:03,133 --> 00:58:04,150
 which the woman sitteth.

1402
00:58:04,266 --> 00:58:07,616
And there are 7 kings, 5 are fallen,

1403
00:58:07,633 --> 00:58:10,033
 and one is, and the other is not yet come.

1404
00:58:10,099 --> 00:58:14,166
And when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

1405
00:58:14,233 --> 00:58:17,650
And the beast that was and is not,

1406
00:58:17,650 --> 00:58:20,650
 even he is the 8th and is of

1407
00:58:20,650 --> 00:58:23,099
 the 7, and goeth into perdition.

1408
00:58:23,166 --> 00:58:26,333
And the 10 horns, which

1409
00:58:26,349 --> 00:58:29,699
 thou sawest are 10 kings which have received no

1410
00:58:29,716 --> 00:58:32,766
 kingdom as yet, but received power

1411
00:58:32,766 --> 00:58:35,333
 as kings one hour with the beast.

1412
00:58:35,416 --> 00:58:38,466
These have one mind and shall give their power

1413
00:58:38,466 --> 00:58:40,266
 and strength unto the beast.

1414
00:58:40,333 --> 00:58:43,449
These shall make war with the lamb, and the

1415
00:58:43,449 --> 00:58:45,300
 lamb shall overcome them.

1416
00:58:45,366 --> 00:58:45,966
Praise the Lord.

1417
00:58:46,033 --> 00:58:49,199
I love verse 14, for he is Lord of lords

1418
00:58:49,216 --> 00:58:52,449
 and king of kings, and they that are with him are called

1419
00:58:52,449 --> 00:58:55,266
 and chosen and faithful.

1420
00:58:55,333 --> 00:58:55,800
Amen.

1421
00:58:55,866 --> 00:58:56,466
Amen.

1422
00:58:56,533 --> 00:58:57,066
Amen.

1423
00:58:57,133 --> 00:59:00,733
So the wild beast is,

1424
00:59:00,733 --> 00:59:03,783
 uh, the, the, it's

1425
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,150
 like the past condition of the Roman Empire and the

1426
00:59:07,150 --> 00:59:10,449
 is not is the present condition of the empire.

1427
00:59:10,566 --> 00:59:12,300
If you want to look at it like that.

1428
00:59:12,366 --> 00:59:14,033
Yeah, it's a little it's twisted, isn't it?

1429
00:59:14,116 --> 00:59:14,716
Yeah, yeah.

1430
00:59:14,766 --> 00:59:17,099
It's a past condition and a present condition.

1431
00:59:17,166 --> 00:59:20,400
The, uh, the end of the Roman Empire,

1432
00:59:20,416 --> 00:59:23,416
 but uh, shall uh, go into

1433
00:59:23,416 --> 00:59:26,833
 perdition speaks of of the destruction of

1434
00:59:26,833 --> 00:59:30,133
 of this restored Roman Empire by the coming of Christ.

1435
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:31,699
7 kings.

1436
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:35,099
It could mean 7 individual rulers,

1437
00:59:35,116 --> 00:59:38,349
 um, the, uh, but

1438
00:59:38,349 --> 00:59:41,400
 that not necessarily what it what it could

1439
00:59:41,416 --> 00:59:44,833
 be, but it could be uh, 7 uh, could

1440
00:59:44,833 --> 00:59:47,533
 be, it could mean individuals, rulers or kings.

1441
00:59:47,650 --> 00:59:50,816
The one refers to Domitian,

1442
00:59:50,833 --> 00:59:54,133
 I believe, who was living in John's day.

1443
00:59:54,433 --> 00:59:56,833
I think I think that's who he's talking about there.

1444
00:59:56,833 --> 01:00:00,550
The Antichrist will rule over the new empire.

1445
01:00:00,616 --> 01:00:03,849
And he is he's

1446
01:00:03,849 --> 01:00:05,283
 part of the seven, I think.

1447
01:00:05,349 --> 01:00:08,349
I think he's part of this whole thing because

1448
01:00:08,349 --> 01:00:11,583
 he's going to rule, but he,

1449
01:00:11,599 --> 01:00:15,250
 excuse me, he's part of the seven, but he is the eighth.

1450
01:00:15,316 --> 01:00:19,083
In other words, he's in a class all by himself, right?

1451
01:00:19,150 --> 01:00:22,199
He, he, he, he restores the last form

1452
01:00:22,216 --> 01:00:25,566
 of government to Rome, the little horn of Daniel,

1453
01:00:25,566 --> 01:00:27,666
 the 10 horns in Daniel 77.

1454
01:00:27,916 --> 01:00:31,216
I guess I have a little bit different twist on it.

1455
01:00:31,266 --> 01:00:34,433
I see the 7 heads, from

1456
01:00:34,449 --> 01:00:37,566
 what I understand as being 7, 7 real kingdoms.

1457
01:00:37,633 --> 01:00:38,283
Yeah.

1458
01:00:38,349 --> 01:00:41,400
Seven kingdoms that were around 5 have already gone by

1459
01:00:41,416 --> 01:00:42,849
 the time he's writing this to John.

1460
01:00:42,916 --> 01:00:45,366
One still is, the other not yet coming.

1461
01:00:45,433 --> 01:00:48,433
And I see, uh, I got this

1462
01:00:48,433 --> 01:00:52,333
 list from from Dr. Walbert also, and he lists them out.

1463
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:53,466
The 1st one was Egypt.

1464
01:00:53,533 --> 01:00:56,050
Second is a Syria.

1465
01:00:56,116 --> 01:00:57,250
Third is Babylon.

1466
01:00:57,316 --> 01:00:58,816
Fourth is Mito Persia.

1467
01:00:58,866 --> 01:01:01,083
5th is Greece, and 6th is ancient Rome.

1468
01:01:01,150 --> 01:01:04,199
So he's living in the time of ancient Rome,

1469
01:01:04,216 --> 01:01:05,766
 so those other 5 have already fallen.

1470
01:01:05,833 --> 01:01:08,650
One is, which is ancient Rome when he's writing this.

1471
01:01:08,716 --> 01:01:11,233
And the one to come.

1472
01:01:11,300 --> 01:01:12,500
Uh, where was I?

1473
01:01:12,500 --> 01:01:14,116
da, da, da.

1474
01:01:14,166 --> 01:01:16,500
What verse was that?

1475
01:01:16,566 --> 01:01:20,583
Uh, probably in verse...

1476
01:01:20,599 --> 01:01:21,916
Yeah, verse 10, verse 10.

1477
01:01:22,099 --> 01:01:25,150
The 5 of following one is the other has not yet come, which I

1478
01:01:25,150 --> 01:01:27,416
 see is the revived Roman Empire.

1479
01:01:27,500 --> 01:01:28,033
Right.

1480
01:01:28,033 --> 01:01:31,266
And then the Beast, which was and is not that 8th is

1481
01:01:31,266 --> 01:01:34,433
 when the Antichrist becomes top dog

1482
01:01:34,449 --> 01:01:37,449
 and gets rid of the church and everybody worships

1483
01:01:37,449 --> 01:01:40,683
 him at the great tribulation, not in the middle of the tribulation.

1484
01:01:40,750 --> 01:01:41,283
Right.

1485
01:01:41,349 --> 01:01:42,183
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1486
01:01:42,250 --> 01:01:43,983
he will he'll rule over that.

1487
01:01:44,050 --> 01:01:45,416
And that's where we come together right there.

1488
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:46,033
Yeah.

1489
01:01:46,033 --> 01:01:48,133
He's going to rule over that new empire.

1490
01:01:48,199 --> 01:01:49,099
Yeah, yeah.

1491
01:01:49,150 --> 01:01:49,866
Yeah, absolutely.

1492
01:01:49,933 --> 01:01:50,949
Yeah, absolutely.

1493
01:01:51,016 --> 01:01:54,066
With that 10 horns thing in

1494
01:01:54,066 --> 01:01:56,099
 verse 12, that's 10 kings.

1495
01:01:56,166 --> 01:01:59,166
He just spells that out pretty clearly, who have

1496
01:01:59,166 --> 01:02:02,883
 not yet received a kingdom, but they received authorities kings with a beast for one hour.

1497
01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:06,300
Those are the those are the 10 kingdoms

1498
01:02:06,316 --> 01:02:07,933
 that are being set up around the world, right?

1499
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,300
And they're going to willingly turn overpower

1500
01:02:11,300 --> 01:02:12,916
 to him halfway through the population.

1501
01:02:13,033 --> 01:02:13,500
Yeah, yeah.

1502
01:02:13,566 --> 01:02:14,699
So he'll actually help him.

1503
01:02:14,766 --> 01:02:16,683
He'll have all power before it's all over with.

1504
01:02:16,750 --> 01:02:19,866
Yeah, but Daniel, Daniel tells a story or is it in Revelation?

1505
01:02:19,866 --> 01:02:21,116
Where, no, it's Daniel.

1506
01:02:21,199 --> 01:02:24,550
Daniel talks about, uh, there's there's

1507
01:02:24,550 --> 01:02:26,766
 10 kings and then the little horn comes up.

1508
01:02:26,833 --> 01:02:27,366
Right.

1509
01:02:27,366 --> 01:02:28,866
And uproots 3 of them.

1510
01:02:28,933 --> 01:02:29,533
Right, yeah.

1511
01:02:29,599 --> 01:02:30,016
Right.

1512
01:02:30,066 --> 01:02:31,433
So he's going to take 3 of them by force.

1513
01:02:31,516 --> 01:02:32,116
That's right.

1514
01:02:32,166 --> 01:02:32,400
Yeah.

1515
01:02:32,466 --> 01:02:35,099
And the other is going to go, okay, okay, fine.

1516
01:02:35,233 --> 01:02:36,300
Yeah, you go.

1517
01:02:36,366 --> 01:02:37,866
Yeah, just fall in line.

1518
01:02:37,933 --> 01:02:38,833
Right, yeah.

1519
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:39,366
Yeah.

1520
01:02:39,433 --> 01:02:41,766
I mean, what do you do when you see that kind of power, right?

1521
01:02:41,900 --> 01:02:43,699
You think you're top dogs.

1522
01:02:43,750 --> 01:02:46,750
Yeah, you think you're top dogs and all of a sudden 3 of your

1523
01:02:46,750 --> 01:02:49,750
 buddies who are top dog with you suddenly just get mowed down

1524
01:02:49,750 --> 01:02:53,216
 and it's like, well, I guess we're going to do what he says.

1525
01:02:53,300 --> 01:02:54,250
I'm next, yeah.

1526
01:02:54,316 --> 01:02:56,583
Man, I heard somebody talking about this.

1527
01:02:56,650 --> 01:02:59,883
I don't remember who it was, but they were talking about why is why

1528
01:02:59,900 --> 01:03:01,633
 is Donald Trump doing what he's doing right now?

1529
01:03:01,699 --> 01:03:02,533
Right?

1530
01:03:02,599 --> 01:03:05,000
He just deposed Venezuela's leader.

1531
01:03:05,050 --> 01:03:06,666
He's talking about going after Cuba.

1532
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,616
He's been dealing pretty harshly with Canada and Mexico.

1533
01:03:09,666 --> 01:03:10,266
Oh, yeah.

1534
01:03:10,266 --> 01:03:11,583
Really harshly with him.

1535
01:03:11,716 --> 01:03:14,116
Iran's just like an outlier.

1536
01:03:14,166 --> 01:03:15,366
I don't know what in the world he's doing.

1537
01:03:15,433 --> 01:03:16,266
Maybe they, I don't know.

1538
01:03:16,333 --> 01:03:18,183
They must have been real close to having a nuclear weapon.

1539
01:03:18,250 --> 01:03:21,783
But somebody was just kind of theorizing that,

1540
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,033
 well, maybe whether he knows it or not, he's organizing

1541
01:03:25,033 --> 01:03:26,099
 one of those 10 kingdoms.

1542
01:03:26,233 --> 01:03:29,233
Yeah. like North and South America kind of thing.

1543
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:30,500
Yeah, bringing it together.

1544
01:03:30,550 --> 01:03:31,449
Possibly.

1545
01:03:31,516 --> 01:03:32,766
Who knows, you know?

1546
01:03:32,833 --> 01:03:34,633
Like I said, it's laying the groundwork.

1547
01:03:34,699 --> 01:03:37,750
We know that we know that the United States is

1548
01:03:37,750 --> 01:03:41,216
 not mentioned in this book, but we

1549
01:03:41,233 --> 01:03:44,533
 know it's not mentioned as it is right now as it see it.

1550
01:03:44,599 --> 01:03:47,716
So yeah, it could be a conglomeration

1551
01:03:47,716 --> 01:03:50,883
 of a new nation that's brought together,

1552
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:52,216
 a new kingdom that's brought together.

1553
01:03:52,266 --> 01:03:53,933
I don't know.

1554
01:03:54,016 --> 01:03:56,349
It's just interesting to keep your eyes on the news.

1555
01:03:56,349 --> 01:03:58,199
But don't read the news into this.

1556
01:03:58,266 --> 01:03:58,800
Right.

1557
01:03:58,816 --> 01:03:59,116
Right.

1558
01:03:59,166 --> 01:04:01,083
No, don't go too far away.

1559
01:04:01,099 --> 01:04:02,466
Because it's going to change.

1560
01:04:02,533 --> 01:04:03,783
I guarantee it's too much.

1561
01:04:03,849 --> 01:04:06,000
you think you got it all right.

1562
01:04:06,066 --> 01:04:07,683
It's like, oh, I got this now.

1563
01:04:07,750 --> 01:04:08,050
Yeah.

1564
01:04:08,050 --> 01:04:11,516
Dr. David Jeremiah said, if you think you know who the Antichrist

1565
01:04:11,533 --> 01:04:12,783
 is, you've been left behind.

1566
01:04:12,849 --> 01:04:13,616
That's it.

1567
01:04:13,699 --> 01:04:17,233
Yeah, I fear that if you know that much about it.

1568
01:04:17,300 --> 01:04:18,133
Yeah, yeah.

1569
01:04:18,199 --> 01:04:18,849
absolutely.

1570
01:04:18,916 --> 01:04:19,750
Absolutely

1571
01:04:19,933 --> 01:04:23,233
Oh, we get,

1572
01:04:23,233 --> 01:04:24,599
 um, all right.

1573
01:04:24,666 --> 01:04:26,699
It's already 7.15.

1574
01:04:27,016 --> 01:04:28,933
You want to get those last all the way to 18?

1575
01:04:29,050 --> 01:04:29,949
We can get those last for you.

1576
01:04:30,066 --> 01:04:30,483
I' good.

1577
01:04:30,550 --> 01:04:30,966
We got time.

1578
01:04:31,033 --> 01:04:31,800
All right, let's do it.

1579
01:04:31,866 --> 01:04:33,900
I've had my break.

1580
01:04:33,966 --> 01:04:37,683
No lights, you know.

1581
01:04:37,750 --> 01:04:39,849
All right, verse 14.

1582
01:04:40,033 --> 01:04:43,083
These will wage war against the lamb, and the

1583
01:04:43,099 --> 01:04:46,099
 lamb will overcome them because he is lord

1584
01:04:46,099 --> 01:04:48,616
 of lords and king of kings, and those who are with,

1585
01:04:48,666 --> 01:04:49,383
Oh, well, you read 14.

1586
01:04:49,516 --> 01:04:49,866
I'm sorry.

1587
01:04:49,933 --> 01:04:50,650
Okay.

1588
01:04:50,650 --> 01:04:50,883
15.

1589
01:04:51,199 --> 01:04:54,666
And he said to me, the waters which you saw, where the harlot sits,

1590
01:04:54,666 --> 01:04:57,783
 are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

1591
01:04:57,849 --> 01:05:00,966
Uh, we're

1592
01:05:00,966 --> 01:05:03,000
 going through to all the way through?

1593
01:05:03,066 --> 01:05:06,233
And the 10 horns what you saw, and the beast, these

1594
01:05:06,250 --> 01:05:09,550
 will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked,

1595
01:05:09,550 --> 01:05:12,183
 and will eat her flesh and burn her up with fire.

1596
01:05:12,250 --> 01:05:15,300
For God has put it in their hearts to execute

1597
01:05:15,316 --> 01:05:18,550
 his purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their

1598
01:05:18,550 --> 01:05:21,416
 kingdom to the beast until the words of God will be fulfilled.

1599
01:05:21,500 --> 01:05:24,500
The woman whom you saw is the great city, which

1600
01:05:24,500 --> 01:05:26,050
 reigns over the kings of the earth.

1601
01:05:26,116 --> 01:05:29,283
So again, man, that

1602
01:05:29,300 --> 01:05:32,349
 verse 17, the theme of this whole book, and

1603
01:05:32,349 --> 01:05:35,466
 theme of Daniel, the theme of the whole Bible is that God is sovereign.

1604
01:05:35,533 --> 01:05:38,233
He's using ugly to make beautiful.

1605
01:05:38,300 --> 01:05:40,566
He's making using ashes to make beauty.

1606
01:05:40,633 --> 01:05:41,099
That's right.

1607
01:05:41,233 --> 01:05:41,400
Right.

1608
01:05:41,466 --> 01:05:41,883
That's right.

1609
01:05:41,949 --> 01:05:45,849
What they meant for evil, he's bringing it to good.

1610
01:05:45,916 --> 01:05:46,383
Absolutely.

1611
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:47,466
He's bringing it to good.

1612
01:05:47,533 --> 01:05:47,766
Yeah.

1613
01:05:47,833 --> 01:05:48,250
absolutely.

1614
01:05:48,316 --> 01:05:51,550
And again, and I do want to the pause there and

1615
01:05:51,550 --> 01:05:54,666
 a lot of people have a tendency

1616
01:05:54,666 --> 01:05:57,233
 to read in to 17, 1717.

1617
01:05:57,550 --> 01:06:00,599
You know, he's put it in their minds to carry out his purpose by

1618
01:06:00,616 --> 01:06:03,666
 making decision to give the royal power to the beast until the words

1619
01:06:03,666 --> 01:06:04,683
 of God are fulfilled.

1620
01:06:04,750 --> 01:06:07,916
And a lot of people, again, read into that predestination

1621
01:06:07,933 --> 01:06:10,933
 and they read into that, that God picks

1622
01:06:10,933 --> 01:06:12,783
 and chooses, who's going to be saved.

1623
01:06:12,849 --> 01:06:16,016
And look, this is the same that we see when

1624
01:06:16,033 --> 01:06:19,199
 Paul says, hey, look, and he talks about Pharaoh

1625
01:06:19,216 --> 01:06:21,133
 and he says it says that God hardened his heart.

1626
01:06:21,199 --> 01:06:24,616
And he says, 1st of all, he's the potter,

1627
01:06:24,616 --> 01:06:27,916
 we're the clay, we don't get to question when he forms

1628
01:06:27,916 --> 01:06:31,333
 a vessel for a specific purpose if

1629
01:06:31,333 --> 01:06:34,933
 and doesn't really provide a whole lot of choice there.

1630
01:06:35,050 --> 01:06:36,716
Like, I mean, there's still some choice there.

1631
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,849
It's still up to the person, but God prepares a vessel sometimes

1632
01:06:39,849 --> 01:06:41,283
 for a specific purpose.

1633
01:06:41,349 --> 01:06:44,466
That is not applicable to every single person

1634
01:06:44,466 --> 01:06:47,583
 on the planet is is created,

1635
01:06:47,599 --> 01:06:50,716
 for God's say, you're saved, you're lost, you're saved, you're lost,

1636
01:06:50,716 --> 01:06:52,449
 you're accepting me, you're rejecting me.

1637
01:06:52,516 --> 01:06:53,283
That's not how it works.

1638
01:06:53,349 --> 01:06:56,883
There are specific, unique circumstances

1639
01:06:56,900 --> 01:07:00,016
 where some of these vessels and these kingdoms is one

1640
01:07:00,016 --> 01:07:01,033
 of these circumstances.

1641
01:07:01,099 --> 01:07:04,633
God allows them to rise, and God sets them up and creates

1642
01:07:04,633 --> 01:07:07,983
 the situation where they are going to hand over this power,

1643
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:12,199
 and he has that as his purpose in this situation.

1644
01:07:12,250 --> 01:07:15,366
Every single purpose person that did not

1645
01:07:15,366 --> 01:07:18,533
 accept God during the tribulation does

1646
01:07:18,550 --> 01:07:20,283
 so by their own choice.

1647
01:07:20,349 --> 01:07:23,766
Yeah, this is this is just a,

1648
01:07:23,766 --> 01:07:26,333
 this is this is given over to a reprobate mind.

1649
01:07:26,416 --> 01:07:27,183
It's the same thing.

1650
01:07:27,250 --> 01:07:30,783
You know, he's letting their, their

1651
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,216
 thoughts and their own self and well-being

1652
01:07:34,216 --> 01:07:37,266
 and selfishness in their life has brought them

1653
01:07:37,266 --> 01:07:40,866
 to this and their, they have a reprobate mind.

1654
01:07:40,933 --> 01:07:42,133
They've turned against God.

1655
01:07:42,199 --> 01:07:44,233
They had an opportunity.

1656
01:07:44,300 --> 01:07:48,250
They had a choice to make and they made this choice and God said, okay.

1657
01:07:48,316 --> 01:07:50,466
And look, this is not God.

1658
01:07:50,599 --> 01:07:51,550
God didn't create evil.

1659
01:07:51,616 --> 01:07:55,566
God didn't, um, he didn't choose to,

1660
01:07:55,566 --> 01:07:58,266
 to, to let evil things happen.

1661
01:07:58,333 --> 01:08:00,783
It's not God orchestrating evil here, I should say.

1662
01:08:00,849 --> 01:08:04,150
But what it is, is God allowing

1663
01:08:04,150 --> 01:08:07,316
 what they've already got set forth in their minds

1664
01:08:07,333 --> 01:08:11,283
 to carry out the purpose that he needs it to happen.

1665
01:08:11,349 --> 01:08:14,699
He has arranged circumstances so that their choices

1666
01:08:14,716 --> 01:08:16,750
 for evil will still work for his good.

1667
01:08:16,816 --> 01:08:19,816
And again, going back to that example of Pharaoh, if you think about

1668
01:08:19,816 --> 01:08:22,816
 it, if Pharaoh had just said when Moses showed

1669
01:08:22,816 --> 01:08:26,583
 up and said, hey, let us go and he went, yeah, sure, that would have been it.

1670
01:08:26,649 --> 01:08:27,250
Yeah, yeah.

1671
01:08:27,250 --> 01:08:30,250
If he had sent them on their way and given them

1672
01:08:30,250 --> 01:08:31,316
 some provisions, that'd been it.

1673
01:08:31,449 --> 01:08:31,866
It had been done.

1674
01:08:31,933 --> 01:08:33,300
But he chose not to.

1675
01:08:33,366 --> 01:08:36,666
And God said, okay, since you're going to reject me, I've already got a plan to

1676
01:08:36,666 --> 01:08:40,133
 bring glory and to prove who I am and to prove that I am sovereign.

1677
01:08:40,216 --> 01:08:41,116
It's the same thing here.

1678
01:08:41,166 --> 01:08:44,699
He already has the plan in place, but they have the ability to not do that.

1679
01:08:44,766 --> 01:08:46,199
Yep, that's right.

1680
01:08:46,266 --> 01:08:49,133
Let's talk about a few of these things that are going on here.

1681
01:08:49,216 --> 01:08:52,866
The waters are explained to

1682
01:08:52,866 --> 01:08:54,600
 be many ethnological groups.

1683
01:08:54,666 --> 01:08:56,333
It's a global It is.

1684
01:08:56,416 --> 01:08:56,833
Yeah, yeah.

1685
01:08:56,899 --> 01:08:59,716
So people brought together as well as nations of the world.

1686
01:08:59,766 --> 01:09:02,883
By the way, that's that verse right there,

1687
01:09:02,899 --> 01:09:04,750
 15 is where that's how we know.

1688
01:09:04,816 --> 01:09:06,066
It explicitly tells us.

1689
01:09:06,133 --> 01:09:10,083
Right, yeah, it's very, very,

1690
01:09:10,100 --> 01:09:11,233
 it's explanatory here.

1691
01:09:11,300 --> 01:09:14,300
This thought is in harmony with

1692
01:09:14,300 --> 01:09:16,399
 Isaiah 87 and Psalms 18.

1693
01:09:16,566 --> 01:09:17,583
You can go back and read that.

1694
01:09:17,649 --> 01:09:21,366
I won't read those now, but it kind of comes along with those 2 verses.

1695
01:09:21,433 --> 01:09:24,600
The position of the harlot reveals that she is

1696
01:09:24,616 --> 01:09:27,916
 ruling over them for only a brief time.

1697
01:09:27,966 --> 01:09:29,933
It's not going to be a permanent thing here.

1698
01:09:30,016 --> 01:09:33,483
10 horns or 10 kings,

1699
01:09:33,500 --> 01:09:36,800
 as told in verse 12, who rule over different divisions

1700
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,149
 of the Roman Empire, as

1701
01:09:40,149 --> 01:09:43,750
 I study it here, and it enables the beast

1702
01:09:43,750 --> 01:09:46,500
 to set himself up as a world dictator.

1703
01:09:46,633 --> 01:09:49,633
It allows his rulership.

1704
01:09:49,699 --> 01:09:51,133
For a short time.

1705
01:09:51,199 --> 01:09:54,850
The Antichrist has an alliance with this harlot, right?

1706
01:09:54,916 --> 01:09:56,466
They're coming together.

1707
01:09:56,533 --> 01:09:59,583
They're working together, which is the false church, and

1708
01:09:59,583 --> 01:10:02,699
 although she

1709
01:10:02,716 --> 01:10:05,716
 advances his calls, she

1710
01:10:05,716 --> 01:10:09,366
 also shares in his glory for a little bit, right?

1711
01:10:09,433 --> 01:10:11,583
And he will not stand for that very long.

1712
01:10:11,649 --> 01:10:13,383
He's like, no, no, no, no, no.

1713
01:10:13,449 --> 01:10:14,350
Oh, dummy.

1714
01:10:14,350 --> 01:10:15,550
You're not going to get worshiped.

1715
01:10:15,616 --> 01:10:17,283
not going to be looked at better than I am.

1716
01:10:17,350 --> 01:10:18,066
That's right.

1717
01:10:18,066 --> 01:10:21,783
Eventually, he'll not only break his relationship, but

1718
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,399
 he'll come after them with great violence and hatred,

1719
01:10:25,399 --> 01:10:28,933
 and it's described as a cannibalistic

1720
01:10:28,933 --> 01:10:33,000
 picking of her bones and burning them with fire.

1721
01:10:33,066 --> 01:10:37,133
Yeah, that's probably one of the most graphic things in the Bible.

1722
01:10:37,216 --> 01:10:37,983
Yeah, isn't it?

1723
01:10:38,050 --> 01:10:41,649
Gosh, it just, I mean, and doing this, the Antichrist

1724
01:10:41,649 --> 01:10:44,699
 and his his 10 allies are fulfilling

1725
01:10:44,716 --> 01:10:47,766
 the word of God, Isaiah

1726
01:10:47,766 --> 01:10:50,883
 10, verse 5 through 19, you can

1727
01:10:50,899 --> 01:10:53,350
 go back and look at that, check that out.

1728
01:10:53,416 --> 01:10:55,216
That kind of lines up with that.

1729
01:10:55,266 --> 01:10:58,866
But by eliminating this apostate church.

1730
01:10:58,933 --> 01:11:02,050
The way is cleared for

1731
01:11:02,050 --> 01:11:03,783
 the worship of the Antichrist.

1732
01:11:03,850 --> 01:11:04,316
You know?

1733
01:11:04,449 --> 01:11:07,683
I mean, he's the antichrist

1734
01:11:07,683 --> 01:11:10,683
 has advocated for the false prophet up until then and

1735
01:11:10,683 --> 01:11:12,649
 then he's taking it out of the way.

1736
01:11:12,733 --> 01:11:16,566
The woman, again, she's a religious system.

1737
01:11:16,633 --> 01:11:18,600
And we've already seen that.

1738
01:11:18,666 --> 01:11:21,783
The church gets what it deserves,

1739
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,633
 but it doesn't help the situation of the rest of the world.

1740
01:11:25,699 --> 01:11:28,399
The rest of the world sits in during this whole tribulation time.

1741
01:11:28,449 --> 01:11:30,066
Yeah, she deserves to be destroyed.

1742
01:11:30,133 --> 01:11:33,433
you know, but it doesn't help anything.

1743
01:11:33,500 --> 01:11:36,500
And this will this will be the most

1744
01:11:36,500 --> 01:11:39,666
 evil time that the world has

1745
01:11:39,666 --> 01:11:41,399
 ever known.

1746
01:11:41,466 --> 01:11:45,533
It's completely the world's darkest hour.

1747
01:11:45,616 --> 01:11:48,916
Um, and we've

1748
01:11:48,916 --> 01:11:52,216
 said this several times before as Christians, we should be so

1749
01:11:52,216 --> 01:11:55,516
 thankful, so thankful, full of thankfulness

1750
01:11:55,516 --> 01:11:57,183
 that we don't have to go through this.

1751
01:11:57,850 --> 01:12:00,966
that we're not going to face this, that we are going to be raptured

1752
01:12:00,966 --> 01:12:04,983
 out, that there's a rapture coming soon and that we get to go home.

1753
01:12:05,050 --> 01:12:06,600
And we're not destined for wrath.

1754
01:12:06,666 --> 01:12:08,033
All said in 1st this one.

1755
01:12:08,116 --> 01:12:08,833
That's right.

1756
01:12:08,899 --> 01:12:09,666
We're the bride, man.

1757
01:12:09,733 --> 01:12:11,166
What sense would it make?

1758
01:12:11,233 --> 01:12:12,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1759
01:12:12,066 --> 01:12:13,266
Why would he let us go through that?

1760
01:12:13,333 --> 01:12:14,399
Why would he not protect?

1761
01:12:14,466 --> 01:12:14,883
no point.

1762
01:12:14,949 --> 01:12:16,316
He wants to protect us, doesn't he?

1763
01:12:16,399 --> 01:12:19,516
I mean, this whole, this whole thing of revelation is a

1764
01:12:19,516 --> 01:12:23,583
 snippet out of, is the details out of the last wicked Daniel's prophecy, right?

1765
01:12:23,649 --> 01:12:25,449
And who was that prophecy against?

1766
01:12:25,516 --> 01:12:28,516
It was against the world and it's dealing with Israel.

1767
01:12:28,633 --> 01:12:29,100
That's right

1768
01:12:29,300 --> 01:12:31,399
It has nothing to do with the church.

1769
01:12:31,449 --> 01:12:31,866
No.

1770
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:33,966
Especially his bride.

1771
01:12:34,033 --> 01:12:35,533
You know?

1772
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,899
They're coming back to, it's

1773
01:12:38,899 --> 01:12:42,016
 almost like, and it all, I don't want to say take the section out,

1774
01:12:42,016 --> 01:12:44,833
 but, but, but it's, it's the age, right?

1775
01:12:44,899 --> 01:12:47,766
I mean, we're in the church age right now.

1776
01:12:47,833 --> 01:12:50,949
Uh, and and when when the church is

1777
01:12:50,949 --> 01:12:54,250
 taken out, uh, it's it's going,

1778
01:12:54,250 --> 01:12:55,616
 it's almost going backwards.

1779
01:12:55,699 --> 01:12:57,199
Like the Old Testament.

1780
01:12:57,316 --> 01:12:58,083
Back to the Old Testament.

1781
01:12:58,149 --> 01:12:58,383
Yeah.

1782
01:12:58,449 --> 01:13:01,750
We say that the Holy Spirit's not going to be

1783
01:13:01,750 --> 01:13:05,466
 here when the church, when the church leaves, the Holy Spirit leaves with it.

1784
01:13:05,533 --> 01:13:08,533
Yes, it does, but it's

1785
01:13:08,533 --> 01:13:11,699
 not like the Holy Spirit goes with the church and then

1786
01:13:11,716 --> 01:13:14,766
 that's the only job the Holy Spirit's got and he's not going to do anything else.

1787
01:13:14,833 --> 01:13:16,866
He's just going to be sitting up there with the church.

1788
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,050
He's not going to dwell in the hearts of men,

1789
01:13:20,050 --> 01:13:22,449
 like he dwells in the hearts of men now.

1790
01:13:22,516 --> 01:13:24,916
That's that's during the church age.

1791
01:13:24,916 --> 01:13:28,816
And that is set aside for the church that for the bride of Christ.

1792
01:13:28,866 --> 01:13:31,983
We're unique in that way that he has allowed the Holy Spirit

1793
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,233
 to not only to lead and guide us, but to live inside of us.

1794
01:13:35,233 --> 01:13:38,699
And so when the

1795
01:13:38,716 --> 01:13:41,716
 church leaves, the Holy Spirit will have a work, but it'll be

1796
01:13:41,716 --> 01:13:44,233
 more like an Old Testament type work, you know?

1797
01:13:44,300 --> 01:13:45,199
They'll still be sealed.

1798
01:13:45,250 --> 01:13:46,383
I mean, like we're sealed.

1799
01:13:46,449 --> 01:13:47,100
Sealed, yes.

1800
01:13:47,166 --> 01:13:47,399
Right.

1801
01:13:47,416 --> 01:13:48,733
Pursealed the Holy Spirit.

1802
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:52,449
That's right, like a, like a, what is it, not a down payment, but it's

1803
01:13:52,449 --> 01:13:54,550
 a guarantee, I guess.

1804
01:13:54,616 --> 01:13:55,266
Actually, it is.

1805
01:13:55,266 --> 01:13:56,283
It is a guarantee.

1806
01:13:56,350 --> 01:13:59,350
And I think you've seen the same things with these Old

1807
01:13:59,350 --> 01:14:00,483
 Testament saints, right?

1808
01:14:00,550 --> 01:14:02,466
That had faith with what was to come.

1809
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:03,316
Yeah, you know?

1810
01:14:03,366 --> 01:14:04,983
Hebrews 11 dudes.

1811
01:14:05,116 --> 01:14:05,533
That's right.

1812
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:06,066
Yeah, yeah.

1813
01:14:06,133 --> 01:14:08,583
They were they were saved by faith.

1814
01:14:08,716 --> 01:14:10,816
Well, that last verse, 18.

1815
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,649
I don't know where you stand on this, brother, but a

1816
01:14:14,649 --> 01:14:18,066
 lot of people will say that Babylon, this mystery Babylon

1817
01:14:18,066 --> 01:14:20,466
 is being talked about here is a literal city.

1818
01:14:20,533 --> 01:14:23,399
And I have to disagree.

1819
01:14:23,466 --> 01:14:26,466
And I go back

1820
01:14:26,466 --> 01:14:27,666
 to the Old Testament for this.

1821
01:14:27,733 --> 01:14:31,983
It's a, you look at, uh, Jeremiah

1822
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:33,500
 25, 12.

1823
01:14:33,916 --> 01:14:37,033
It's a prophecy against Babylon, and it says,

1824
01:14:37,033 --> 01:14:41,350
 then it will be when 70 years are completed of the Israelite captivity there.

1825
01:14:41,466 --> 01:14:44,699
I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation declares

1826
01:14:44,716 --> 01:14:47,766
 the Lord for their iniquity in the land of the Chaldeans, and I will

1827
01:14:47,766 --> 01:14:49,683
 make it an everlasting desolation.

1828
01:14:49,816 --> 01:14:50,466
Yeah.

1829
01:14:51,066 --> 01:14:51,966
everlasting.

1830
01:14:52,033 --> 01:14:55,633
And then again in 51, I'm sorry, 50 verse 39.

1831
01:14:55,866 --> 01:14:59,399
Therefore, the desert creatures will live there along with the jackals,

1832
01:14:59,416 --> 01:15:02,833
 the ostriches also will live in it and it will never again be

1833
01:15:02,833 --> 01:15:05,233
 inhabited or dwelt in from generation to generation.

1834
01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:06,666
Yeah, yeah.

1835
01:15:06,733 --> 01:15:09,433
Yeah, it's it's wasteland.

1836
01:15:09,500 --> 01:15:10,033
I agree.

1837
01:15:10,100 --> 01:15:10,333
Yeah.

1838
01:15:10,399 --> 01:15:12,133
And it's that way today.

1839
01:15:12,199 --> 01:15:15,250
I remember seeing a video on YouTube or somewhere they showed the

1840
01:15:15,250 --> 01:15:17,216
 ruins of Babylon.

1841
01:15:17,300 --> 01:15:20,716
There's like foxes and all kinds of just, I mean, it's just a wasteland.

1842
01:15:20,766 --> 01:15:21,116
Yeah.

1843
01:15:21,133 --> 01:15:24,183
I think, uh, uh, it was Saddam Hussein tried

1844
01:15:24,199 --> 01:15:25,216
 to rebuild it at one point.

1845
01:15:25,266 --> 01:15:25,800
Yeah.

1846
01:15:25,816 --> 01:15:26,416
Yeah.

1847
01:15:26,466 --> 01:15:27,899
It worked out real well for him.

1848
01:15:27,966 --> 01:15:31,083
Yeah, at the end of a rope.

1849
01:15:31,216 --> 01:15:36,183
But

1850
01:15:36,199 --> 01:15:39,316
 yeah, this Babylon thing has been going on for 1000s

1851
01:15:39,316 --> 01:15:42,916
 of years of Babylon versus the kingdom of God.

1852
01:15:42,966 --> 01:15:45,716
It's and I agree with you 100%.

1853
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:47,533
It's the spirit of Babylon.

1854
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,016
It's the spirit of what

1855
01:15:51,016 --> 01:15:54,733
 Babylon stood for, of what it

1856
01:15:54,733 --> 01:15:58,333
 was, of the evil that it was,

1857
01:15:58,333 --> 01:16:01,633
 and God destroyed and the place, the place

1858
01:16:01,633 --> 01:16:04,750
 is destroyed, but that evil

1859
01:16:04,750 --> 01:16:08,100
 spirit continues to, and it's going to really, really

1860
01:16:08,116 --> 01:16:09,850
 push its way up here.

1861
01:16:09,916 --> 01:16:10,383
Yeah.

1862
01:16:10,449 --> 01:16:14,050
Yeah, and we talked about all these different non-denominational

1863
01:16:14,050 --> 01:16:17,766
 and denominational churches and all this stuff and the spirit of Babylon's controlling that stuff.

1864
01:16:17,899 --> 01:16:19,816
That's where it comes from.

1865
01:16:19,866 --> 01:16:23,333
And this is the final, this is the final destruction of Babylon

1866
01:16:23,350 --> 01:16:25,383
 spiritually that we just read, right?

1867
01:16:25,449 --> 01:16:26,699
God has done away with it.

1868
01:16:26,766 --> 01:16:27,966
Check the box.

1869
01:16:28,033 --> 01:16:31,566
Next is the economic and political power of Babylon.

1870
01:16:31,633 --> 01:16:32,233
right.

1871
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:33,616
Check, check it.

1872
01:16:33,616 --> 01:16:34,633
Get it out of here.

1873
01:16:34,699 --> 01:16:37,933
And just to throw this out there for anybody that

1874
01:16:37,933 --> 01:16:40,500
 might happen to listen to this.

1875
01:16:40,566 --> 01:16:43,616
Don't think these groups would, but if you happen to listen to it, and you're one of these people

1876
01:16:43,633 --> 01:16:46,633
 that thinks when we say the spirit of Babylon, we're talking like an actual

1877
01:16:46,633 --> 01:16:50,699
 single entity that can be cast

1878
01:16:50,716 --> 01:16:52,033
 out or something like that.

1879
01:16:52,516 --> 01:16:55,566
We're talking about the ideas and the belief system and

1880
01:16:55,566 --> 01:17:00,066
 the faith, the false faith that was built up around.

1881
01:17:00,133 --> 01:17:02,533
That's what we mean when we say the spirit of Babylon.

1882
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,866
Now, there are, and I bring...

1883
01:17:04,866 --> 01:17:05,216
Correct.

1884
01:17:05,300 --> 01:17:08,466
But it's not a single entity that's something

1885
01:17:08,466 --> 01:17:11,816
 that can possess somebody and because there

1886
01:17:11,833 --> 01:17:15,899
 is once again, there's a movement in the modern Christian.

1887
01:17:15,916 --> 01:17:17,416
I'm not on camera.

1888
01:17:17,466 --> 01:17:19,433
I'm error quoting right now when I say Christian.

1889
01:17:19,516 --> 01:17:23,533
that believe, oh, you have the spirit of Babylon.

1890
01:17:23,649 --> 01:17:25,383
No, no, they don't.

1891
01:17:25,449 --> 01:17:26,050
I promise.

1892
01:17:26,116 --> 01:17:29,416
Unless they are literally worshiping some

1893
01:17:29,416 --> 01:17:30,733
 of this insane stuff.

1894
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,416
You're not dealing with the Spirit of Babylon.

1895
01:17:32,466 --> 01:17:33,233
You dealing with a crazy thing.

1896
01:17:33,316 --> 01:17:35,716
If you hear somebody at church saying, oh, just follow your heart.

1897
01:17:35,716 --> 01:17:37,216
That's the spirit of battle.

1898
01:17:37,266 --> 01:17:37,983
Yeah, yeah.

1899
01:17:38,050 --> 01:17:38,516
That is.

1900
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:39,066
It is.

1901
01:17:39,133 --> 01:17:40,199
Yeah, because that's what they do.

1902
01:17:40,216 --> 01:17:40,983
Do what you think, right?

1903
01:17:41,116 --> 01:17:42,366
Do what feels good to you, right?

1904
01:17:42,433 --> 01:17:44,649
That fulfills you, man.

1905
01:17:44,766 --> 01:17:45,300
What makes you happy?

1906
01:17:45,366 --> 01:17:48,483
And we see this in all these, uh, most

1907
01:17:48,500 --> 01:17:51,666
 of the, especially the charismatic, more, uh,

1908
01:17:51,666 --> 01:17:54,666
 feel good, you know, uh, type

1909
01:17:54,666 --> 01:17:57,233
 religions, you know, go do, go do what?

1910
01:17:57,316 --> 01:17:57,916
It's okay.

1911
01:17:57,966 --> 01:18:00,833
Oh, okay, you don't, you don't, you don't believe that?

1912
01:18:00,916 --> 01:18:01,449
That's fine.

1913
01:18:01,516 --> 01:18:02,583
Affirm you.

1914
01:18:02,649 --> 01:18:04,083
You can still be a part of us.

1915
01:18:04,149 --> 01:18:06,116
You can still bring us a check, you know?

1916
01:18:06,199 --> 01:18:09,966
And let me say this to you.

1917
01:18:10,033 --> 01:18:13,083
You know, you may be listening

1918
01:18:13,100 --> 01:18:16,399
 somewhere and you're saying, yeah, you know, this guy's

1919
01:18:16,399 --> 01:18:19,399
 just a hard shell Baptist or these guys

1920
01:18:19,399 --> 01:18:22,633
 are, and that's that's all, that's, you

1921
01:18:22,633 --> 01:18:25,866
 know, they're stuck in that, you know,

1922
01:18:25,866 --> 01:18:28,566
 and here's the thing, guys.

1923
01:18:28,633 --> 01:18:31,500
We're hard shell in the word of God.

1924
01:18:31,566 --> 01:18:32,333
Yeah, you know?

1925
01:18:32,416 --> 01:18:34,866
It's not about it's not about Baptist.

1926
01:18:34,933 --> 01:18:36,300
It's not about Methodist.

1927
01:18:36,366 --> 01:18:37,383
It's not about.

1928
01:18:37,449 --> 01:18:40,566
No, I mean, you know, there's a reason that I

1929
01:18:40,566 --> 01:18:44,166
 believe the way that I do and I think we've got everything right.

1930
01:18:44,233 --> 01:18:46,383
No, no, I know that we don't.

1931
01:18:46,449 --> 01:18:48,416
You know, I know there's things that we're going to find out.

1932
01:18:48,500 --> 01:18:49,816
Oh, okay, that's the way it was.

1933
01:18:49,933 --> 01:18:53,050
But, um, but to

1934
01:18:53,050 --> 01:18:56,399
 the best of, of my ability,

1935
01:18:56,416 --> 01:18:59,416
 uh, and the only that's not much, but allowing the

1936
01:18:59,416 --> 01:19:02,466
 Holy Spirit to teach us, uh, and

1937
01:19:02,466 --> 01:19:07,083
 and transform us and and show us, in God's word.

1938
01:19:07,149 --> 01:19:08,649
This is what this is what it is.

1939
01:19:08,716 --> 01:19:10,083
that's why we

1940
01:19:10,216 --> 01:19:12,783
believe the way we do and that's why we teach the way we do.

1941
01:19:12,850 --> 01:19:14,516
We have a built-in teacher, don't we?

1942
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:15,250
Yeah, we do.

1943
01:19:15,316 --> 01:19:15,916
We do.

1944
01:19:15,966 --> 01:19:16,500
Absolutely.

1945
01:19:16,566 --> 01:19:19,616
You know, and the thing is, you know, when I when I when I

1946
01:19:19,633 --> 01:19:22,683
 get on a lot of this stuff, you know, I'm coming from the standpoint

1947
01:19:22,699 --> 01:19:24,500
 of I have not always been here.

1948
01:19:24,550 --> 01:19:27,666
I did walk away from Mountain View

1949
01:19:27,666 --> 01:19:30,666
 as a church for a while, and I spent time at

1950
01:19:30,666 --> 01:19:34,199
 some of these non-denominational churches, at some of these charismatic

1951
01:19:34,216 --> 01:19:37,933
 churches, at some of these Methodist churches, in Lutheran churches, and

1952
01:19:37,933 --> 01:19:40,983
 Church of God, various, I mean,

1953
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:42,616
 I mean, I spent time.

1954
01:19:42,666 --> 01:19:43,733
Yeah, I did.

1955
01:19:43,816 --> 01:19:46,866
I've spent time either at the church or with the people

1956
01:19:46,866 --> 01:19:49,866
 from the church studying with them and having them talk to me

1957
01:19:49,866 --> 01:19:52,866
 about things because they wanted, you know, they were inviting me and

1958
01:19:52,866 --> 01:19:55,199
 wanting me to come since they knew I was out of church at the time.

1959
01:19:55,266 --> 01:19:56,816
So I've seen it.

1960
01:19:56,899 --> 01:20:00,199
I've witnessed this stuff for myself and I've seen the

1961
01:20:00,199 --> 01:20:03,850
 teachings and I've seen, especially these secret teachings and stuff.

1962
01:20:03,916 --> 01:20:04,983
I've studied that.

1963
01:20:05,050 --> 01:20:06,966
I know what this leads to.

1964
01:20:07,033 --> 01:20:10,266
So when I'm warning against it, I'm warning against it from somebody who's

1965
01:20:10,266 --> 01:20:13,266
 been there, somebody who's actually witnessed it firsthand to say,

1966
01:20:13,266 --> 01:20:16,733
 it is scary, scary stuff, and I know it feels good.

1967
01:20:16,816 --> 01:20:19,816
I know it makes you feel good and you feel like you're in the spirit

1968
01:20:19,816 --> 01:20:22,816
 and you feel like you're having a quote unquote religious

1969
01:20:22,816 --> 01:20:26,166
 experience, but at the end of the day, you're being deceived and

1970
01:20:26,166 --> 01:20:29,333
 you're being misled because the Bible

1971
01:20:29,350 --> 01:20:32,350
 does tell us that our hearts are absolutely wicked

1972
01:20:32,350 --> 01:20:36,000
 and our hearts are deceitful and our hearts will lead us astray.

1973
01:20:36,066 --> 01:20:37,083
We don't listen to our heart.

1974
01:20:37,149 --> 01:20:40,500
We listen to the spirit of God, which is our,

1975
01:20:40,516 --> 01:20:42,483
 which, in part, is our intellect.

1976
01:20:42,550 --> 01:20:44,166
And part of that is their ability to study.

1977
01:20:44,233 --> 01:20:47,283
And part of that is, I mean, it all goes back to, you

1978
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:50,533
 know, Paul saying study to show yourselves approval, a workman

1979
01:20:50,533 --> 01:20:51,600
 that doesn't need to be ashamed.

1980
01:20:51,666 --> 01:20:54,066
That's the only way.

1981
01:20:54,133 --> 01:20:55,800
That's not revealed.

1982
01:20:55,866 --> 01:20:56,883
That never stops.

1983
01:20:56,949 --> 01:21:00,000
You, you, you're to the day that we leave

1984
01:21:00,016 --> 01:21:03,016
 this world and we have the knowledge of

1985
01:21:03,016 --> 01:21:05,716
 Christ that he promised us.

1986
01:21:05,766 --> 01:21:07,866
Uh, we we have.

1987
01:21:07,933 --> 01:21:10,983
We have that ability to know these things right now,

1988
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,816
 but we're never, we've never arrived, right?

1989
01:21:13,866 --> 01:21:16,566
You know, it's not like, oh, I got all the answers to this thing.

1990
01:21:16,633 --> 01:21:18,550
Study, continue.

1991
01:21:18,616 --> 01:21:21,783
He didn't say study for a while to show yourself approved.

1992
01:21:21,850 --> 01:21:23,883
I think we're constantly.

1993
01:21:23,949 --> 01:21:27,116
We continuously study and we're continuously showing ourselves

1994
01:21:27,133 --> 01:21:30,250
 approved because if we, what happens is if we don't

1995
01:21:30,250 --> 01:21:32,583
 do that, then we get pride.

1996
01:21:32,649 --> 01:21:35,816
Man, pride begins to fill us up and when pride

1997
01:21:35,833 --> 01:21:38,833
 fills us up, we end up falling because

1998
01:21:38,833 --> 01:21:42,000
 pride comes before the fall and we get to the point where we think

1999
01:21:42,016 --> 01:21:45,016
 we know it all and then we just end up falling big.

2000
01:21:45,066 --> 01:21:46,983
Plus we just need time with him, right?

2001
01:21:47,050 --> 01:21:48,966
That's how we abide.

2002
01:21:48,966 --> 01:21:49,433
Intimate time.

2003
01:21:49,516 --> 01:21:53,050
That's how the branch abides in the vine is reading.

2004
01:21:53,116 --> 01:21:54,666
Just spending time with him.

2005
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:55,399
Right?

2006
01:21:55,449 --> 01:21:56,050
Yeah.

2007
01:21:56,050 --> 01:21:56,816
Yeah.

2008
01:21:56,899 --> 01:21:58,266
Go spend time with dad.

2009
01:21:58,333 --> 01:22:01,083
I mean, that's what it is, really and truly.

2010
01:22:01,149 --> 01:22:02,050
Spend time with dad.

2011
01:22:02,116 --> 01:22:03,183
That's why he died.

2012
01:22:03,250 --> 01:22:03,783
That's right.

2013
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:04,816
Give us a relationship.

2014
01:22:04,866 --> 01:22:06,066
Father and a son.

2015
01:22:06,133 --> 01:22:09,133
And he gives us and he gives us the truth that

2016
01:22:09,133 --> 01:22:13,149
 allows us to avoid what we see here and allows us to see it.

2017
01:22:13,216 --> 01:22:14,716
He allows us to see it.

2018
01:22:14,766 --> 01:22:16,016
It's all in the scripture.

2019
01:22:16,100 --> 01:22:16,633
I promise.

2020
01:22:16,699 --> 01:22:19,866
And I said this, I think last week, and I say it pretty much every time,

2021
01:22:19,866 --> 01:22:22,866
 anytime they tell somebody says the

2022
01:22:22,866 --> 01:22:26,033
 truth is hidden and it's this secret that we're going to reveal

2023
01:22:26,050 --> 01:22:30,550
 to you over time, that is a deception.

2024
01:22:30,616 --> 01:22:32,416
The truth is plain.

2025
01:22:32,466 --> 01:22:36,416
It's in the sunlight, it's out for everyone to see, and it's not hidden.

2026
01:22:36,500 --> 01:22:38,300
God did not hide it from us.

2027
01:22:38,350 --> 01:22:40,016
He gave it to us freely and openly.

2028
01:22:40,100 --> 01:22:42,500
And he provides it to us.

2029
01:22:42,550 --> 01:22:45,716
And I think we've got we've got to learn to experience all the,

2030
01:22:45,733 --> 01:22:49,149
 all the, all that, uh, that this relationship

2031
01:22:49,149 --> 01:22:52,149
 is to the highs and the lows and the, the ins

2032
01:22:52,149 --> 01:22:55,500
 and the outs and the goods and the bads, you know, because none

2033
01:22:55,516 --> 01:22:57,250
 of the bad stuff has anything to do with him.

2034
01:22:57,316 --> 01:22:58,083
It's all on us.

2035
01:22:58,149 --> 01:23:01,199
But we need to, we need to, sometimes we

2036
01:23:01,216 --> 01:23:04,266
 ride on the spiritual highs, but man, it's just sometimes

2037
01:23:04,266 --> 01:23:07,916
 in the worst times of our life that it's the sweetest, most

2038
01:23:07,933 --> 01:23:09,550
 precious that we get, you know?

2039
01:23:09,616 --> 01:23:12,666
But then we get, we get some good things like yesterday morning

2040
01:23:12,666 --> 01:23:15,783
 too, man, when the Holy Spirit just,

2041
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,550
 you know, it just fills this up and it's just so good.

2042
01:23:18,616 --> 01:23:21,733
You can't do anything, but just want, I just almost,

2043
01:23:21,733 --> 01:23:23,100
 I thought my wife was going to,

2044
01:23:23,166 --> 01:23:24,716
I thought she really was going to be...

2045
01:23:24,733 --> 01:23:26,833
Other than that, you know.

2046
01:23:26,899 --> 01:23:29,649
She couldn't already stand up.

2047
01:23:29,716 --> 01:23:31,816
But, I mean, you know, that's just a presence of God.

2048
01:23:31,866 --> 01:23:33,000
He was.

2049
01:23:33,066 --> 01:23:36,066
He can it can be like that, you know,

2050
01:23:36,066 --> 01:23:37,566
 without being the charismatic stuff.

2051
01:23:37,633 --> 01:23:39,666
It's the true, true presence of the Lord.

2052
01:23:39,733 --> 01:23:43,083
Yeah, and it was orderly and it was it

2053
01:23:43,100 --> 01:23:46,216
 was done the way God intended and he and he

2054
01:23:46,216 --> 01:23:47,233
 just opened it up for us.

2055
01:23:47,300 --> 01:23:48,316
And that's the thing.

2056
01:23:48,366 --> 01:23:50,583
We have to be open and receptive to that.

2057
01:23:50,649 --> 01:23:53,050
You know, don't be so intellectual that you shut down.

2058
01:23:53,116 --> 01:23:54,783
your ability to feel it.

2059
01:23:54,850 --> 01:23:58,016
We can get too shut off to things,

2060
01:23:58,033 --> 01:23:59,583
 but we got to be careful.

2061
01:23:59,649 --> 01:24:03,600
Be open, but realize that, again, the truth, it's here.

2062
01:24:03,666 --> 01:24:07,199
It's plain it's just out in the open forest and it's freely,

2063
01:24:07,216 --> 01:24:08,350
 freely given.

2064
01:24:08,416 --> 01:24:10,683
And go spend time with dad.

2065
01:24:10,750 --> 01:24:13,916
Just spend time with our heavenly Father and the

2066
01:24:13,933 --> 01:24:16,149
 way we do that is by studying his word and by reading.

2067
01:24:16,216 --> 01:24:19,683
And next week, we will start in with Revelation

2068
01:24:19,699 --> 01:24:22,816
 181 with that has an

2069
01:24:22,816 --> 01:24:24,433
 incredible opening.

2070
01:24:24,433 --> 01:24:27,666
So that that scripture, an angel whose radiance is lighting

2071
01:24:27,666 --> 01:24:29,766
 up the earth and making a proclamation.

2072
01:24:29,833 --> 01:24:31,266
That what a way to kick it off.

2073
01:24:31,333 --> 01:24:33,133
So can't wait to get into that.

2074
01:24:33,199 --> 01:24:35,233
Oh, yeah.

2075
01:24:35,233 --> 01:24:36,133
I'm getting anxious in this.

2076
01:24:36,250 --> 01:24:38,583
I mean, not a bad, anxious, but a good, anxious.

2077
01:24:38,716 --> 01:24:40,566
Chomping at the bit.

2078
01:24:40,633 --> 01:24:41,283
So much good stuff.

2079
01:24:41,350 --> 01:24:42,000
Yeah.

2080
01:24:42,066 --> 01:24:43,199
Hang on.

2081
01:24:43,266 --> 01:24:43,616
Hang on.

2082
01:24:43,699 --> 01:24:45,366
Yeah, hold on to your seat.

2083
01:24:45,433 --> 01:24:46,566
because it's going to get fun.

2084
01:24:46,633 --> 01:24:49,750
So Revelation 181 next week and we will dive into

2085
01:24:49,750 --> 01:24:52,800
 that and we hope everybody

2086
01:24:52,816 --> 01:24:53,833
 has a wonderful week.

2087
01:24:53,899 --> 01:24:56,949
We hope everybody goes out and spend some time with

2088
01:24:56,949 --> 01:25:00,366
 God, spend some time in prayer, spend some time studying and

2089
01:25:00,366 --> 01:25:02,333
 spend time with your family.

2090
01:25:02,416 --> 01:25:05,466
Dads, spend time studying with your kids, spend time talking

2091
01:25:05,466 --> 01:25:08,633
 to your kids, spend time showing them what

2092
01:25:08,649 --> 01:25:12,366
 God has given us to show our children and moms,

2093
01:25:12,366 --> 01:25:15,483
 spend time with your husbands and spend time together

2094
01:25:15,500 --> 01:25:18,500
 the way God intends because that is the only way that as

2095
01:25:18,500 --> 01:25:21,550
 families, we can make it through all of this and everything the

2096
01:25:21,550 --> 01:25:22,916
 world's throwing at us right now.

2097
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:26,300
And we definitely want to make sure our kids, except

2098
01:25:26,300 --> 01:25:27,366
 and miss this.

2099
01:25:27,433 --> 01:25:29,949
And the only way you're going to do that is you got to show it to them.

2100
01:25:30,016 --> 01:25:31,449
I mean, they do have to learn.

2101
01:25:31,516 --> 01:25:32,233
They do have to hear.

2102
01:25:32,300 --> 01:25:33,916
And they won't.

2103
01:25:33,966 --> 01:25:36,966
They won't depart from it as they become old, as long as we teach it

2104
01:25:36,966 --> 01:25:39,483
 to them and as long as we show it to them and live it out.

2105
01:25:39,550 --> 01:25:40,616
Live it out every day.

2106
01:25:40,699 --> 01:25:42,550
That is that is a command that we're given.

2107
01:25:42,616 --> 01:25:45,916
And you get truth is,

2108
01:25:45,916 --> 01:25:47,649
 you get nothing for living this out.

2109
01:25:47,716 --> 01:25:49,866
You get a you get a crown made of dirt.

2110
01:25:49,933 --> 01:25:50,533
Congratulations.

2111
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,416
It's made of pavement.

2112
01:25:53,533 --> 01:25:56,583
You don't get anything for living it out other than the approval

2113
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,000
 of our father, and to me, that is more than enough.

2114
01:25:59,050 --> 01:25:59,883
Oh, yeah.

2115
01:25:59,899 --> 01:26:03,016
Because I would much prefer him to say, well

2116
01:26:03,016 --> 01:26:07,383
 done, good and faithful servant, rather than, okay, slothful servant, come on in.

2117
01:26:07,449 --> 01:26:08,350
Yeah.

2118
01:26:08,350 --> 01:26:11,466
That's, I would, I want to be one of the well-dones.

2119
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:13,216
And I know I let him down every day.

2120
01:26:13,266 --> 01:26:16,616
So pray, pray, focus and

2121
01:26:16,633 --> 01:26:18,366
 don't forget that we're running a race.

2122
01:26:18,433 --> 01:26:19,199
It's a marathon.

2123
01:26:19,266 --> 01:26:20,216
It's not a sprint.

2124
01:26:20,300 --> 01:26:22,100
just stay steady.

2125
01:26:22,149 --> 01:26:24,066
Uh, brother.

2126
01:26:24,316 --> 01:26:26,050
What's Dennis?

2127
01:26:26,533 --> 01:26:29,583
I was saying, well, I was thinking and

2128
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:31,149
 I went, Brian, no, that didn't.

2129
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:33,550
Having to go in my head here.

2130
01:26:33,616 --> 01:26:36,733
But brother Dennis, why don't you dismiss us this week and next week

2131
01:26:36,733 --> 01:26:39,666
 we'll pick up with Revelation chapter 18, verse one.

2132
01:26:39,733 --> 01:26:40,500
All right.

2133
01:26:40,566 --> 01:26:43,616
Father in heaven, thank you so much for this time to come together to

2134
01:26:43,633 --> 01:26:46,983
 discuss your word, Father, to dwell on these things that

2135
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,366
 you've told us to dwell on.

2136
01:26:48,433 --> 01:26:48,899
Father.

2137
01:26:48,966 --> 01:26:50,033
Thank you.

2138
01:26:50,116 --> 01:26:53,116
Thank you for all the mighty things that you've done in each of our

2139
01:26:53,116 --> 01:26:56,116
 lives and Lord, thank you, not just for

2140
01:26:56,116 --> 01:26:59,649
 the mighty things that you've done, and we know you're going to do, but

2141
01:26:59,649 --> 01:27:01,983
 for who you are, that you are love.

2142
01:27:02,116 --> 01:27:03,366
You are peace.

2143
01:27:03,433 --> 01:27:05,466
You are joy, you are a mercy.

2144
01:27:05,533 --> 01:27:07,083
You're everything that our hearts need.

2145
01:27:07,149 --> 01:27:10,383
Father, help us to stay connected to you like

2146
01:27:10,399 --> 01:27:13,149
 a branch to a vine.

2147
01:27:13,216 --> 01:27:16,383
Father, help us to be mindful

2148
01:27:16,399 --> 01:27:17,949
 to stay in your word.

2149
01:27:18,016 --> 01:27:21,183
We know that that's truth, that it's something you've

2150
01:27:21,199 --> 01:27:24,850
 preserved for us for 1000s of years, and we know who you are by that word.

2151
01:27:24,916 --> 01:27:28,083
When you see your beautiful heart through that word.

2152
01:27:28,149 --> 01:27:30,550
And Father, we know you're bringing an end to all evil.

2153
01:27:30,616 --> 01:27:33,666
And I pray, Father, for anybody that might have listened to a part

2154
01:27:33,666 --> 01:27:34,866
 of this or all of it.

2155
01:27:34,933 --> 01:27:37,149
Father, that you would touch them.

2156
01:27:37,216 --> 01:27:38,283
Father, save them.

2157
01:27:38,350 --> 01:27:41,350
Father, we lift them up to your throne of mercy and grace,

2158
01:27:41,350 --> 01:27:44,816
 and we come here boldly to ask for their salvation.

2159
01:27:44,899 --> 01:27:45,850
Father, save them all.

2160
01:27:45,916 --> 01:27:47,883
Father, don't let them sleep tonight.

2161
01:27:47,949 --> 01:27:51,116
Father, anybody that's listening that already knows

2162
01:27:51,133 --> 01:27:52,500
 you and has a relationship.

2163
01:27:52,566 --> 01:27:54,116
Father, I pray your blessings on them.

2164
01:27:54,250 --> 01:27:57,416
Father, let them understand this book

2165
01:27:57,433 --> 01:27:59,166
 of revelation and give them wisdom.

2166
01:27:59,233 --> 01:28:01,333
Lord, give them wisdom that they might understand.

2167
01:28:01,399 --> 01:28:04,399
Father, thank you for this time together, and I

2168
01:28:04,399 --> 01:28:07,449
 pray your blessings on my brothers here tonight, and for everybody listening.

2169
01:28:07,516 --> 01:28:08,416
In Jesus' name.

2170
01:28:08,466 --> 01:28:08,933
Amen.

2171
01:28:09,016 --> 01:28:09,483
Amen.
