[00:00:11] All right, good morning, everyone.
[00:00:13] We welcome our Iron Grace School of Ministry students
[00:00:16] this morning, those of you here,
[00:00:19] those out there watching, those who will watch.
[00:00:22] This is our eschatology class,
[00:00:26] and today we're gonna look at the seven seals of Revelation.
[00:00:30] I know last week I had you watch the video
[00:00:32] from Skyfall, the seven trumpets,
[00:00:34] so I know we kinda jumped ahead,
[00:00:36] but that's okay because they're kind of their own story.
[00:00:39] Each tells the story of the end times,
[00:00:43] all ending at the same time,
[00:00:44] but not all starting at the same time.
[00:00:46] So we're gonna look at the seven seals
[00:00:49] of Revelation this morning,
[00:00:50] and of course I've added some.
[00:00:52] So if you have seen in the past,
[00:00:54] I think our conference from 2012, End Times Revealed,
[00:00:58] I did do the seals and trumpets together.
[00:01:02] I have also, well, I guess in recent years,
[00:01:05] I've repeated it a couple of times for different audiences,
[00:01:09] but again, this is for the school,
[00:01:11] and it does have some updated information.
[00:01:13] So pay close attention, take notes.
[00:01:16] You will be tested on this information.
[00:01:19] So let's get into this right here.
[00:01:21] The book of Revelation contains, among other things,
[00:01:26] not just these three things,
[00:01:27] but it contains the seven seals,
[00:01:32] the seven trumpets, and the seven vials of wrath.
[00:01:35] And actually, I think we've already had class,
[00:01:37] had you guys watch the post-tribulation rapture
[00:01:41] and the vials of wrath.
[00:01:43] We may touch on that again,
[00:01:44] but today we're getting into the seals
[00:01:47] and really just kind of repeating
[00:01:50] and re-establishing the key
[00:01:55] to understanding the book of Revelation, all right?
[00:01:58] So you have those right there.
[00:02:00] Now, here's the timeline that we put together.
[00:02:05] Nancy made this for me,
[00:02:07] but this right here kind of helps you to understand.
[00:02:13] What we believe here, what I believe,
[00:02:15] what our church ministry believes we teach,
[00:02:18] is that you have the seven seals,
[00:02:21] and as we'll see today, when you get to the sixth seal,
[00:02:24] the sun goes dark, the stars fall,
[00:02:26] and that is the second coming of Jesus Christ,
[00:02:29] the wrath of the lamp.
[00:02:30] That right there in itself shows
[00:02:32] that it's not the traditional view
[00:02:34] that we've been taught by so many churches
[00:02:37] and ministry schools and prophecy teachers
[00:02:39] that you have the seven seals,
[00:02:42] then you have the seven trumpets,
[00:02:43] then you have the seven vials.
[00:02:45] That's what we've been taught,
[00:02:46] but that's not what the Bible says.
[00:02:49] This is not Pastor Dean's opinion
[00:02:52] because the Bible says that the seven seals,
[00:02:55] that this is the end.
[00:02:56] How do we know it's the end?
[00:02:57] And I'll show you, we'll get to this in a minute,
[00:02:59] but we're gonna go full circle here.
[00:03:01] But the six seals, as the sun goes dark,
[00:03:04] the moon does not give its light,
[00:03:06] the stars fall from heaven,
[00:03:07] the powers of heaven are shaken.
[00:03:08] That's the firmament that it says we see
[00:03:15] the tribes of the earth and all of them,
[00:03:17] the rich men, the captains, so forth,
[00:03:19] they're gonna see the son of man coming in the clouds.
[00:03:23] This coincides, the sixth seal is
[00:03:27] Matthew 24, 29 through 31.
[00:03:31] This is the same event,
[00:03:32] where every mountain is moved,
[00:03:34] every island is moved.
[00:03:35] So if the sixth seal is the end
[00:03:38] and the second coming of Jesus,
[00:03:40] how do we have seven trumpets after that?
[00:03:42] How do we have the seven vials after that?
[00:03:44] It's impossibility, it's not logical,
[00:03:46] does it make sense?
[00:03:48] But what does make sense?
[00:03:49] What makes sense is that these different,
[00:03:52] the seals, the trumpets, the vials of wrath,
[00:03:56] they don't start at the same time.
[00:03:58] They're not the same length of time
[00:03:59] as they're developing,
[00:04:01] but they all end at the same time.
[00:04:03] That's very important to understand.
[00:04:05] So the seals are the long story
[00:04:08] leading up to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
[00:04:12] The trumpets are the shorter story,
[00:04:14] a little bit shorter,
[00:04:15] but still longer than the vials.
[00:04:17] The vials are the shortest story,
[00:04:19] but still ending at the second coming.
[00:04:21] They all end at the second coming of Jesus Christ.
[00:04:25] And when you understand this
[00:04:26] and you read the book of Revelation,
[00:04:28] it will make sense to you
[00:04:29] that you're reading three different stories
[00:04:32] of things that are gonna happen,
[00:04:34] like three different accounts
[00:04:35] leading up to the same event,
[00:04:36] the end, Armageddon, the wrath of God,
[00:04:40] the wrath of the lamb,
[00:04:41] the second coming of Jesus,
[00:04:42] they all end there.
[00:04:44] Now the only one of these,
[00:04:46] and this is very important truth to understand,
[00:04:48] out of the seven seals,
[00:04:49] seven trumpets, seven vials of wrath,
[00:04:52] the only set of these
[00:04:55] in which we're told a timeframe in which they happen,
[00:04:59] where we're actually given the exact timeframe
[00:05:01] when they have to happen
[00:05:03] is the seven vials of wrath.
[00:05:04] We are told that they start,
[00:05:08] what, with sores on men
[00:05:10] who have the mark of the beast.
[00:05:12] Well, the mark of the beast is not instituted
[00:05:14] until the middle,
[00:05:16] sometime around the middle of the tribulation,
[00:05:20] the seven year tribulation period.
[00:05:22] So we know that the vials of wrath happen
[00:05:25] in the last three and a half years.
[00:05:28] But as for the trumpets,
[00:05:29] we are not told when they start in the Bible.
[00:05:33] We are told when they finish.
[00:05:35] We are not told when the seals start
[00:05:38] and when they finish.
[00:05:40] So anything, if you try to say
[00:05:42] the seals happen when the seven years start,
[00:05:45] that is an assumption.
[00:05:47] That is really just based on
[00:05:50] the traditions and doctrines of men.
[00:05:52] It's not based on the Bible.
[00:05:53] You cannot show me a verse that says
[00:05:56] that the seven seals of revelation
[00:05:58] start in the last seven years
[00:06:01] or when the last seven years begin.
[00:06:02] Any teaching that says that
[00:06:05] is simply man's opinion.
[00:06:08] It's simply an assumption
[00:06:10] because the Bible does not say
[00:06:12] when the seals started to be open.
[00:06:15] They do say when they come to full fruition
[00:06:18] and manifestation and when they end,
[00:06:21] but they don't say when they start.
[00:06:23] That is so very important.
[00:06:26] Too many times we create doctrines
[00:06:28] based on assumptions
[00:06:30] and not what the Bible actually says.
[00:06:33] We just say, oh, here's what we think
[00:06:36] and then it gets taught.
[00:06:38] It goes from this is what I think
[00:06:40] to this is the way it is
[00:06:42] as these doctrines get passed down, okay?
[00:06:47] And that's something, I mean,
[00:06:48] I was taught that way
[00:06:49] and I had to break free from that mindset
[00:06:52] because I had heard it so much
[00:06:53] from everybody around me
[00:06:54] when I was a young man
[00:06:56] starting out in the ministry.
[00:06:57] So this is our timeline here.
[00:07:00] I think it's pretty accurate
[00:07:02] and pretty helpful.
[00:07:03] All of you out there, students
[00:07:05] and our ministers to be,
[00:07:08] you're welcome to use it if you like.
[00:07:11] Now, let's look at this.
[00:07:12] I love this verse, these two verses here
[00:07:16] because this is a principle about the end
[00:07:18] because a lot of people say,
[00:07:19] well, Pastor Dean, how do you know
[00:07:21] or why do you think
[00:07:23] that you have the correct interpretation of this?
[00:07:26] Well, I believe it because number one,
[00:07:29] I think that I spent a lot of time studying this.
[00:07:32] This has actually been end time Bible prophecy
[00:07:36] in the book of Revelation and Daniel and so forth.
[00:07:38] Matthew 24 has been something
[00:07:40] that I've really studied a lot in depth
[00:07:43] for the last 32 years.
[00:07:44] So I think I have a pretty good grip.
[00:07:46] I've heard just about every teaching there is on it
[00:07:49] from the pre-trib view to the pre-wrath view
[00:07:54] to I've heard everything.
[00:07:56] And I didn't jump on one particular thing.
[00:08:00] I just kept over the years,
[00:08:01] I just kept growing and learning.
[00:08:04] But I think the Bible is very clear
[00:08:07] that number one, it's the glory of God.
[00:08:09] This is Proverbs 25, too.
[00:08:11] It is the glory of God to conceal a thing,
[00:08:14] but is the honor of Kings to search out the matter.
[00:08:17] According to Revelation chapter one,
[00:08:18] we are Kings and priests through the blood of Jesus now.
[00:08:21] We're born again, we're Kings and priests.
[00:08:23] So God likes to conceal things in his word until,
[00:08:30] and then he has a point where he begins to reveal them.
[00:08:33] All right, now particularly concerning end time Bible prophecy,
[00:08:36] Daniel 12.9, he told Daniel,
[00:08:38] and Daniel is the Revelation,
[00:08:41] the book of Revelation for the Old Testament.
[00:08:44] He says here that he told Daniel and said,
[00:08:46] go thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up
[00:08:50] and sealed till the time of the end,
[00:08:53] or until the time of the end.
[00:08:55] Now, what does that mean?
[00:08:56] There's gonna come a point in the end times
[00:09:00] when these things are happening and beginning to happen
[00:09:05] that these things are going to be unsealed,
[00:09:07] meaning they're not gonna be hidden from our view,
[00:09:09] our understanding, or our ability
[00:09:11] to interpret them anymore, okay?
[00:09:14] Again, this is not my opinion.
[00:09:16] This is what the Bible says.
[00:09:18] So we had reached a point
[00:09:20] where God had concealed these things
[00:09:22] in mystery and symbolic language,
[00:09:26] and that he would reveal what those things were,
[00:09:28] that it would become, basically it would become
[00:09:31] to those who were studying, praying, seeking God,
[00:09:36] Kings and priests of the Lord through the blood of Jesus,
[00:09:38] it would become obvious what these things are.
[00:09:43] Number one, by comparing scripture with scripture,
[00:09:45] letting scripture interpret scripture,
[00:09:46] and then looking at what was happening in the world,
[00:09:48] and did we see anything
[00:09:50] that had the identifying marks of this?
[00:09:51] Now, for anybody, if anybody at this point
[00:09:54] in the end times scenario where we are
[00:09:57] says that you can't understand these things,
[00:10:00] no, they should rephrase that.
[00:10:03] They don't understand.
[00:10:05] Not we can anymore, all right?
[00:10:09] But it's just they don't.
[00:10:10] So let's keep going here.
[00:10:12] Of course, we start out with Revelation five,
[00:10:16] and it says that there's this scroll
[00:10:18] that's sealed with seven seals,
[00:10:21] and that no one was found worthy in heaven,
[00:10:25] or in earth, or under the earth to open the seals.
[00:10:30] No man found worthy, but the lamb was worthy.
[00:10:34] Who is the lamb?
[00:10:35] The Lord Jesus.
[00:10:36] He's the only one worthy to open this book,
[00:10:40] to unseal it, to begin to crack it open, right?
[00:10:44] By removing the seals.
[00:10:46] Well, that's what this is all about.
[00:10:48] The seals begin to show us what's gonna transpire
[00:10:53] in the last days.
[00:10:54] Now, let's remember something that Paul and Peter
[00:10:59] and James and John, all of them called,
[00:11:03] even in the first century, the beginning of the last days.
[00:11:06] Now, to us, that sounds strange
[00:11:09] because we're so geared toward our natural understanding,
[00:11:15] but the Bible says a thousand years
[00:11:18] as a day with the Lord and a days as a thousand years.
[00:11:20] So as the Holy Spirit was speaking through them,
[00:11:23] it was like this, the last days have begun.
[00:11:25] Now, what I believe is that what he was talking about
[00:11:27] is the things, the spirits, the evil spirits
[00:11:30] and their plan, Satan's plan started very early on
[00:11:36] and that it would take time for it to unfold, all right?
[00:11:40] But we are there.
[00:11:42] So let's look at this
[00:11:44] because we're gonna look at the four horsemen first.
[00:11:46] The first four seals are called
[00:11:48] four horsemen of the apocalypse.
[00:11:50] That's just a phrase for them.
[00:11:54] You have in the four horsemen,
[00:11:55] you have a white horse, a red horse, a black horse.
[00:11:59] King James calls the pale horses.
[00:12:00] We're gonna see that the word is really green,
[00:12:03] but basically you have four horses of different colors.
[00:12:07] Now, how do we interpret what these things are?
[00:12:10] Well, we compare scripture with scripture.
[00:12:12] So here's the scripture we're gonna compare it with.
[00:12:14] This is a vision of Zechariah, Zechariah six, one through five.
[00:12:19] He says, and I turn and I lifted up my eyes and looked
[00:12:21] and behold, there came four chariots
[00:12:23] out from between two mountains.
[00:12:26] And the mountains were mountains of brass.
[00:12:28] And then the first chariot were red horses
[00:12:30] and then the second chariot black horses
[00:12:32] and then the third chariot white horses
[00:12:34] and then the fourth chariot grizzled and bay horses.
[00:12:37] Then I answered and said unto the angel
[00:12:39] that talked with me, what are these, my Lord?
[00:12:42] And the angel answered and said unto me,
[00:12:43] these are four spirits of the heavens,
[00:12:47] which go forth from standing before the Lord
[00:12:49] of all the earth.
[00:12:51] So these are four spirits of the heavens
[00:12:54] that go forth from standing before the Lord.
[00:12:56] Now, don't we see in the book of Job
[00:13:00] that even Satan went and stood before the Lord at times.
[00:13:02] It doesn't mean that these are spirits, good spirits.
[00:13:06] All right, Satan went in the book of Job,
[00:13:08] it says the angels were presenting themselves
[00:13:10] before the Lord and Satan also came among them
[00:13:13] and presented himself.
[00:13:15] So these are four, I believe, evil spirits,
[00:13:18] powerful principalities that are going to go forth
[00:13:24] in the earth who carry ideologies.
[00:13:28] All right, so let's look at this right here.
[00:13:31] It says the first four seals are the four horsemen
[00:13:34] and I believe they are evil spirits that were released.
[00:13:39] Remember, when John saw Jesus opening the seals,
[00:13:45] that was in the first century, right?
[00:13:50] So I believe these things were released then
[00:13:53] to go forth and to,
[00:13:54] because it was gonna take them quite a long time
[00:13:58] to begin to unfold their plan, all right?
[00:14:04] Now, the first one we have here is the white horse.
[00:14:07] All right, let's go to Revelation six
[00:14:11] and I'll just read this, you guys can look it up later.
[00:14:14] In Revelation six, verse one it says,
[00:14:18] and I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals
[00:14:22] and I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder
[00:14:23] and one of the four bees saying, come and see.
[00:14:26] And I saw and behold a white horse
[00:14:27] and he that sat on him had a bow
[00:14:30] and a crown was given unto him
[00:14:31] and he went forth conquering and to conquer.
[00:14:35] Now that's the first seal.
[00:14:38] So he's on a white horse, the rider has a crown,
[00:14:41] he has a bow and he's going forth to conquer.
[00:14:45] The crown represents authority.
[00:14:47] All right, and I'm gonna tell you,
[00:14:48] I believe political authority, okay?
[00:14:52] Crown represents authority, the bow represents a weapon,
[00:14:56] but the weapon, but it's missing its arrow, right?
[00:15:02] But it has a bow, okay?
[00:15:05] And, but the key thing about this
[00:15:07] is that it's going forth, political authority,
[00:15:11] going forth to conquer, all right?
[00:15:14] So what is this spirit wanting to do?
[00:15:18] I believe it is the satanic spirit
[00:15:22] and ideology to conquer the world,
[00:15:25] to create a world government,
[00:15:27] to get control of the entire world.
[00:15:31] And that the missing arrow represents
[00:15:34] that they're gonna claim to do it
[00:15:35] or try to do it claiming its peace, all right?
[00:15:42] When we're gonna find out in reality,
[00:15:45] they'll do whatever's necessary to get it,
[00:15:47] including starting wars,
[00:15:50] but they claim that they're all about peace.
[00:15:53] So let's look at some entities and some people
[00:15:56] and some institutions that are wanting
[00:16:00] to conquer the world, create a global government
[00:16:02] or what they call global governance now,
[00:16:05] but it used to just be called, you know, world government.
[00:16:09] You know, if you say global governance,
[00:16:12] global means world and governance means government, right?
[00:16:17] But they love to change these words
[00:16:19] because world government got a bad rap, right?
[00:16:23] Because Christians exposed it
[00:16:25] as we began to see this plan unfold.
[00:16:27] But notice the color, everything in the Bible is significant.
[00:16:30] So the color being white, we look at here
[00:16:33] and we look at the Pope and we just,
[00:16:35] we're just really looking at the office of the Pope
[00:16:38] and the Vatican.
[00:16:39] We know the Vatican is evil.
[00:16:41] We addressed that, I think last semester.
[00:16:44] The Vatican is the horror of Babylon, mystery Babylon.
[00:16:48] All the clues are clearly pointing
[00:16:50] to the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican and the Pope.
[00:16:54] And I've said ever since I was a young man,
[00:16:56] I believe this from study and just from seeking the Lord
[00:17:00] that whoever the last Pope would be,
[00:17:01] would be the false prophet to work with Antichrist.
[00:17:04] We're gonna talk more about that probably next week.
[00:17:07] But it's interesting, right?
[00:17:08] So we could ask the question.
[00:17:10] So if the Pope had a horse,
[00:17:11] what color do you think he would be?
[00:17:14] Let's see, the little Pope mobiles white,
[00:17:17] his little helicopters white.
[00:17:19] He loves to wear white.
[00:17:21] Even the plane he borrows
[00:17:22] from the Italian government's mostly white, right?
[00:17:27] And the Popes, also back in the 1500s,
[00:17:30] before that they used to wear red
[00:17:32] because they were Cardinals who became Popes
[00:17:34] and the Cardinals would wear red,
[00:17:35] the bishops wore purple, you know, the scarlet in purple,
[00:17:38] another identifying factor of the mystery Babylon.
[00:17:42] But in the 1500s, around the time of the Reformation,
[00:17:46] they started wearing white.
[00:17:49] So I believe this is a clear manifestation.
[00:17:52] And this entity, the Vatican, the Jesuits,
[00:17:55] the Office of the Pope,
[00:17:58] they've always been about world conquest,
[00:18:01] conquering the world,
[00:18:02] trying to control the world by any means necessary.
[00:18:06] So they're one entity behind this.
[00:18:08] Of course, there's other institutions and entities.
[00:18:12] Here's the Council on Foreign Relations.
[00:18:15] This is their logo.
[00:18:17] The Council on Foreign Relations
[00:18:19] is a group of political people.
[00:18:20] Remember, I said the crown.
[00:18:21] I believe the crown represents political authority.
[00:18:25] In America here, it's the,
[00:18:27] and there's different branches of this
[00:18:29] in different parts of the world.
[00:18:31] They have their own version of this in the UK,
[00:18:33] but they're together.
[00:18:34] They're all one in the same, run by the same people.
[00:18:37] But the Council on Foreign Relations
[00:18:39] has people from the Democratic Party
[00:18:41] and the Republican Party.
[00:18:43] They've pretty much been in the cabinets
[00:18:44] of every president.
[00:18:46] And their goal as an institution
[00:18:51] is to create a one world government.
[00:18:56] This has been well known for a long time,
[00:18:58] but isn't it interesting that that's their logo,
[00:19:01] is a rider on a white horse.
[00:19:04] You can't make this up.
[00:19:07] Maybe the Lord made the devil make them do that.
[00:19:10] So has the Lord wanted us to be able to identify
[00:19:15] when the spirit was working.
[00:19:17] Now, the entity that they're gonna push
[00:19:19] and wanna push through as a world government,
[00:19:22] we've already talked about that in this class,
[00:19:25] but that would be the United Nations.
[00:19:28] Now, isn't it interesting that the United Nations,
[00:19:31] even though their flag is light blue and white,
[00:19:37] that their vehicles,
[00:19:38] both their military armor vehicles,
[00:19:44] that's the, you see the UN Learjet
[00:19:46] for the Secretary General.
[00:19:49] You see their vehicles,
[00:19:50] they're always white with a black UN on them.
[00:19:55] Everywhere you go.
[00:19:57] Of course, these things have been found
[00:19:58] here in the United States as well,
[00:20:00] being shipped here, especially during the Obama years.
[00:20:03] Wonder why.
[00:20:06] All right.
[00:20:07] Now, I think, of course,
[00:20:09] one of the reasons I'm sure they would justify,
[00:20:11] well, white so we can be identified on the battlefield
[00:20:14] and not be attacked by other armies.
[00:20:17] But, isn't it interesting, they're driving tanks,
[00:20:21] white tanks with UN on them, right?
[00:20:24] Yeah, peace, right?
[00:20:25] There's that, we're gonna do it by peace,
[00:20:29] but we have tanks.
[00:20:31] But anyway, I don't think it,
[00:20:32] for me, I don't think it's any coincidence
[00:20:34] you see the primary color of the Pope,
[00:20:38] who tries to be both a political and religious authority,
[00:20:42] the Council on Foreign Relations,
[00:20:45] and the United Nations,
[00:20:48] all about this world government, global governance,
[00:20:51] as they call it, they're little code words,
[00:20:53] but that's their goal, to conquer or control the whole world,
[00:20:57] to morph the world into a world government.
[00:21:01] I mean, as you see here,
[00:21:02] I looked up current global governance system,
[00:21:06] and it's talking about what?
[00:21:08] United Nations, all right?
[00:21:12] And the world is divided geographically and demographically
[00:21:15] into mutually exclusive territories and political structures
[00:21:18] called states and independent and sovereign in most cases.
[00:21:22] And of course, they want to circumvent that
[00:21:25] through international law, the United Nations,
[00:21:28] the World Health Organization,
[00:21:30] the UN peacekeeping troops,
[00:21:33] international criminal police organization.
[00:21:37] Trust me, they are planning a world government.
[00:21:40] This is very recent news right here.
[00:21:43] This is May 6th.
[00:21:45] What's today, May 1th?
[00:21:47] May 8th.
[00:21:49] So this is CBN News here,
[00:21:52] and I've found it all over the place
[00:21:54] and went to CBN News,
[00:21:55] but May 6th, 2019,
[00:21:58] Pope rejects excessive, quote,
[00:22:00] this is a quote from him,
[00:22:01] excessive demand for sovereignty
[00:22:04] pushes idea of global authority.
[00:22:08] This is that white horse.
[00:22:10] This is that evil spirit's idolatry
[00:22:13] of that white horse and its rider
[00:22:16] working through the Pope.
[00:22:19] This is pushing for a global authority.
[00:22:21] The Pope before this did the very same thing.
[00:22:23] Benedict said, we need a global authority.
[00:22:26] We need a global political authority
[00:22:29] with real teeth to control, he said,
[00:22:32] the global economy.
[00:22:34] Now, of course, they're all about the globe.
[00:22:36] I'm not saying that
[00:22:36] because I believe that we are a globe.
[00:22:39] Just saying this is what they say.
[00:22:40] All right, let's look at this.
[00:22:42] Pope Francis is pushing for steps
[00:22:45] toward global authority
[00:22:46] that supersedes the rights of individual countries,
[00:22:49] all with the goal of pursuing, quote,
[00:22:51] the common good.
[00:22:53] See, sounds, oh, we're gonna do it
[00:22:55] for the common good of people
[00:22:57] on issues like climate change and immigration.
[00:23:01] He says, when a supranational common good
[00:23:04] is clearly identified,
[00:23:06] it is necessary to have a special authority
[00:23:09] legally and concordantly constituted
[00:23:12] capable of facilitating its implementation,
[00:23:15] meaning we need a government,
[00:23:16] a world government that actually can enforce this, right?
[00:23:21] Enforce these things that we wanna enforce.
[00:23:24] We think of the great contemporary challenges
[00:23:26] of climate change, new forms of slavery and peace.
[00:23:30] He told members of the Pontifical Academy.
[00:23:34] See, it's not just me making this up.
[00:23:36] Here's the Catholic News Agency saying,
[00:23:40] Pope Francis, the common good has become global, right?
[00:23:45] All right, so they reword it.
[00:23:47] Isn't that interesting?
[00:23:49] But here's Charisma Magazine.
[00:23:51] I gotta give them props
[00:23:52] because they usually got a bunch of fruit cakes and nuts on.
[00:23:57] But here they said, did Pope Francis
[00:24:00] just call for a one world government?
[00:24:02] Yes, he did, you dingbats.
[00:24:05] It's not, every Pope's been doing it
[00:24:07] for since about the 1950s and 60s.
[00:24:11] All you gotta do is read their encyclicals.
[00:24:13] Pope Francis is pushing for steps toward global authority
[00:24:17] that supersedes the rights of individual countries,
[00:24:19] all with the goal of pursuing the common good
[00:24:21] on issues like climate change.
[00:24:23] While addressing the conference,
[00:24:25] Francis rebuked the trend of nationalism
[00:24:29] among individual countries and the many tensions
[00:24:31] that come from an excessive demand for sovereignty
[00:24:34] and part of the states.
[00:24:35] That was a direct assault toward President Trump,
[00:24:39] especially President Trump's most recent address
[00:24:41] to the United Nations where he said,
[00:24:43] all states had right to their own sovereignty
[00:24:46] and that the United States would never, ever yield to this.
[00:24:52] That was President Trump taking a stand there.
[00:24:56] And then of course the Pope goes on with his obligate,
[00:24:59] but I thought it was interesting.
[00:25:00] I wanted to read this here because he went on
[00:25:03] to talk about the United Nations.
[00:25:05] All right, so it says here, the church observes,
[00:25:09] and of course he's talking about the Roman Catholic
[00:25:10] false church, observes with concern
[00:25:13] the reemergence in many parts of the world of currents
[00:25:16] that are aggressive towards foreigners,
[00:25:18] especially immigrants, as well as a growing nationalism
[00:25:21] that neglects the common good, he told the conference.
[00:25:24] This in turn, quote, threatens to jeopardize
[00:25:28] consolidated forms of international cooperation,
[00:25:33] undermines the aims of international organizations
[00:25:36] as a space for dialogue and meeting for all countries
[00:25:39] in a spirit of mutual respect,
[00:25:41] and hinders the attainment of the sustainable
[00:25:44] development goals approved unanimously
[00:25:48] by the United Nations, the Pope said.
[00:25:51] So we see the Pope and the United Nations
[00:25:55] are gonna work together to push for this conquering.
[00:26:00] It's a conquering spirit.
[00:26:01] We're gonna conquer the world.
[00:26:03] We're gonna gain total control,
[00:26:05] and they're gonna ultimately do that
[00:26:06] through instituting a world government
[00:26:09] through the United Nations and mandatory things
[00:26:12] like the mark of the beast for buying and selling, okay?
[00:26:18] So just so you know, that's what's working there.
[00:26:20] Now let's look at the red horse of Revelation.
[00:26:22] I'm gonna read the verse here first.
[00:26:25] This is Revelation six, verse two, I'm sorry, verse three.
[00:26:30] Speaking about Jesus, when he opened the second seal,
[00:26:33] I heard the second beast say, come and see.
[00:26:36] And there went out another horse that was red
[00:26:39] and power was given to him that sat there on
[00:26:41] to take peace from the earth
[00:26:43] and that they should kill one another.
[00:26:45] And there was given unto him a great sword.
[00:26:48] Let's remember that.
[00:26:49] So the red horse has power given to it
[00:26:55] to take peace from the earth
[00:26:56] and to kill one another with a great sword.
[00:26:59] So this is really the horse of war,
[00:27:02] but it wants to conquer the world.
[00:27:04] And all of these spirits you're gonna see
[00:27:06] have in mind to conquer or control the world,
[00:27:09] but they just have a different way they're going about it.
[00:27:13] Now this red horse, this evil spirit that works through
[00:27:18] and its identifying factor is red, war, killing,
[00:27:23] and has a great sword.
[00:27:24] And a great sword is just a great weapon.
[00:27:28] How would we see it being manifested in the world?
[00:27:30] Remember the Roman Catholic Church
[00:27:33] and this idea of bringing the world
[00:27:35] under a one world government's been around a long time.
[00:27:38] Roman Catholic Church came into being, what, 313 AD?
[00:27:43] So long time.
[00:27:45] Well, this one hadn't been around as long
[00:27:47] in that same sense, but it's been around a long time.
[00:27:49] But how is that spirit manifesting now?
[00:27:53] Well, it's pretty obvious.
[00:27:54] The red horse is manifesting itself through communism.
[00:28:00] Communism, you could say, socialism, fascism,
[00:28:04] but using sword by the government
[00:28:08] and their ideology or their form of government
[00:28:11] to take over the world.
[00:28:13] Flags there, China and former Soviet Union, North Korea.
[00:28:18] You see anything consistent there?
[00:28:22] The color red maybe?
[00:28:25] And it's well known, I mean,
[00:28:26] that the Soviet Union has been involved in,
[00:28:32] once it starts, once the communist revolution,
[00:28:34] the red revolution took over in 1917,
[00:28:40] it has been, this spirit has been the spirit
[00:28:44] operating to take peace from the earth,
[00:28:47] to try to go forth.
[00:28:48] And I mean, what they did in the Eastern Europe countries
[00:28:53] when they conquered them and brought them
[00:28:54] under the Soviet Union, what they did
[00:28:57] in trying to spread communism into Asia, China,
[00:29:03] we're done millions.
[00:29:04] So most of the wars that we have dealt with
[00:29:09] has become, a lot of it was fighting against communism, all right?
[00:29:16] To try to stop the spread of it,
[00:29:17] because at one point it had gotten,
[00:29:19] I think, close to half the world taken over.
[00:29:24] So this spirit's been working, there you go.
[00:29:28] That's an old poster from Chinese communist,
[00:29:33] Mao Zedong, 78 million dead.
[00:29:38] So this spirit's been operating, but it's not done.
[00:29:41] It's China and Russia are becoming allies again.
[00:29:45] China's become economically strong,
[00:29:50] militarily stronger than they've ever been.
[00:29:53] Nine ways China and Russia are partnering
[00:29:55] to undermine the US.
[00:29:59] Oh, this spirit's working, the red spirit's at work.
[00:30:03] Now let's read about the black horse.
[00:30:05] This morning, the black horse,
[00:30:06] let's go down to verse, Revelation six verse number five.
[00:30:13] And when he had opened the third seal,
[00:30:15] I heard the third bee say, come and see.
[00:30:18] And I beheld an old black horse,
[00:30:19] and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
[00:30:23] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four bees say,
[00:30:25] a measure of wheat for a penny,
[00:30:27] and three measures of barley for a penny, or a denari,
[00:30:30] and see that thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
[00:30:33] Now this horse, the black horse,
[00:30:35] I believe has to do with the pair of balances.
[00:30:39] They're talking about food and money.
[00:30:42] I believe it has to do, a lot of people say
[00:30:44] it just has to do with global or worldwide famine coming.
[00:30:48] I think it's much, much more than that.
[00:30:50] I think the black horse has to do with those forces
[00:30:55] in the international banking industry
[00:30:58] that wanna control the world through
[00:31:01] the manipulation of money, oil, resources, and food.
[00:31:07] They wanna control things materialistically,
[00:31:12] and we would know them as what?
[00:31:15] The international banking elite, right?
[00:31:20] The Illuminati families,
[00:31:21] the ones who run all the world banks.
[00:31:26] And it's interesting because there's so many ways,
[00:31:28] there's so many interesting aspects to this
[00:31:30] because it does say that wheat,
[00:31:34] basically when he says a measure of wheat
[00:31:37] for a penny or a denari,
[00:31:38] back then in the first century,
[00:31:40] a denari was a day's wages for your average person.
[00:31:44] So they're saying a day's wages for just a measure
[00:31:47] of wheat just basically for your some daily food.
[00:31:53] Work all day just so you can eat.
[00:31:55] So they're saying there that things are gonna get,
[00:31:58] economically it's gonna get bad,
[00:32:00] especially, and two, it's funny,
[00:32:02] it mentions barley and wheat, we'll talk about that.
[00:32:06] But when he says hurt not the oil and wine,
[00:32:08] isn't it interesting?
[00:32:08] I was thinking about this on the way here.
[00:32:11] Oil and wine is a luxury, right?
[00:32:15] And especially back then,
[00:32:16] it was looked at as a luxury of the rich.
[00:32:19] Basically the rich are like,
[00:32:21] no, you're not gonna touch and hurt our stuff
[00:32:23] because we'll make sure we have a lot stocked
[00:32:25] in the bunkers and the rich can pay for it too.
[00:32:30] But I just thought that was interesting.
[00:32:32] Kind of shows that the control of the wealthy elite,
[00:32:37] satanic, Luciferian, Illuminati families,
[00:32:40] and how they manipulate currencies
[00:32:44] and the economic part of the world.
[00:32:47] And you know, the big part of Satan's takeover of the world,
[00:32:50] he's gonna use, like he's gonna use the red horse,
[00:32:53] China and Russia, maybe North Korea,
[00:32:56] some of these other communist entities,
[00:32:58] and that spirit, he's gonna use that as the muscle,
[00:33:02] right, to try to conquer the world.
[00:33:06] He's using the UN and the Vatican
[00:33:09] and the Council on Foreign Relations
[00:33:11] and entities like that.
[00:33:14] He's using them to try to do it through,
[00:33:17] you know, political deception and maneuvering
[00:33:21] and claims of peace and all this stuff
[00:33:23] and the common good.
[00:33:25] And then this one is primarily financially,
[00:33:29] but it's interesting when you realize the mark of the beast
[00:33:33] is about controlling what people buy itself,
[00:33:36] controlling the world economy, right?
[00:33:40] And who gets to do what?
[00:33:41] So this horse will manifest itself
[00:33:46] all the way into the mark of the beast, all right?
[00:33:49] Remember, these are spirits, they were released,
[00:33:51] they are working and they have been working
[00:33:54] for a long time and they will bring everything,
[00:33:58] everything that they have planned to do,
[00:34:00] they're gonna bring to full fruition, all right?
[00:34:05] And they're gonna be allowed to do that.
[00:34:08] The specifics of Bible prophecy,
[00:34:11] I think this black horse is showing you,
[00:34:13] you know, food shortages, soaring wheat prices,
[00:34:17] inflation, economic upheaval, manipulation, control.
[00:34:23] Of course, oil pretty much runs the whole thing.
[00:34:27] Oil and gold, right?
[00:34:31] Precious metals, black crude oil controls
[00:34:34] the global economy, they admit that right there, right?
[00:34:39] And interesting, it's black.
[00:34:43] Don't miss that little factor.
[00:34:45] Then as when I was studying this a number of years back,
[00:34:48] I just realized that there's this thing called,
[00:34:51] I came across this UG99 stem rust.
[00:34:54] Well, it's an interesting little fungus
[00:34:57] that specifically it can be airborne,
[00:35:00] fly in the wind and attack wheat crops and destroys wheat.
[00:35:06] And they discovered this in 1999
[00:35:08] and they have been worrying ever since then.
[00:35:12] I mean, 1999, this is Los Angeles Times 2009.
[00:35:16] They've been worrying about this UG99 fungus
[00:35:20] called stem rust.
[00:35:21] They said, could wipe out more than 80%
[00:35:24] of the world's wheat crops
[00:35:25] as it spreads from Africa, scientist fear.
[00:35:29] The race is on to breed resistant plants
[00:35:32] before it reaches the US.
[00:35:34] Think about what happened if 80% of the wheat crops
[00:35:36] in the world were destroyed by this stem rust.
[00:35:40] What would happen to the 20%?
[00:35:42] It would cost a whole lot more.
[00:35:44] And when you go and look,
[00:35:45] you'll be surprised at how many things
[00:35:49] in the grocery store contain wheat.
[00:35:52] Be shocked, right?
[00:35:55] But if this happens, bad, bad.
[00:35:58] But we're not only seeing this attacking
[00:36:00] the wheat crop of the world,
[00:36:03] but we've seen floods and other things
[00:36:06] destroy a lot of wheat crop.
[00:36:08] So we eventually will get to the point.
[00:36:10] But isn't it interesting?
[00:36:11] The Bible was very specific.
[00:36:14] You're gonna have economic upheaval.
[00:36:16] You're gonna have shortages of wheat
[00:36:19] to the point that wheat will cost the day's wages,
[00:36:21] a measure of wheat.
[00:36:23] So the Bible is very specific
[00:36:26] and we see it being fulfilled very specifically.
[00:36:30] And that's what makes it different
[00:36:31] than any other religious book ever written.
[00:36:33] And that's why it is, I believe,
[00:36:35] the inspired, infallible word of the creator,
[00:36:39] our Lord Jesus.
[00:36:41] And then this is another little update.
[00:36:45] This was after that in 2010,
[00:36:47] a bunch of scientists got together in St. Petersburg
[00:36:50] to discuss this problem.
[00:36:52] And what they found was four new mutations of UG99.
[00:36:56] So not only do you have UG99,
[00:37:00] they're trying to figure out how to stop it,
[00:37:01] but then it mutates, the fungus changes,
[00:37:04] but it's still destructive.
[00:37:06] Meaning I don't believe
[00:37:07] that they're gonna be able to stop it, all right?
[00:37:13] Now let's get to the pale horse.
[00:37:14] And let's read this from Revelation here.
[00:37:17] Revelation, go down to verse number seven.
[00:37:22] Of course, the King James translates this pale horse.
[00:37:24] We're gonna find out why that wasn't the best word to pick.
[00:37:28] But here we have it.
[00:37:29] He says, and when he had opened the fourth seal,
[00:37:32] I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come and see.
[00:37:35] And I looked to behold a pale horse
[00:37:38] and his name that sat on him was death
[00:37:40] and hell followed out with him
[00:37:42] and power or authority, the Greek word there is exucius.
[00:37:45] So authority was given unto them
[00:37:48] over the fourth part of the earth
[00:37:50] to kill with the sword and with hunger and with death
[00:37:54] and with the beast of the earth.
[00:37:55] This one right here, very interesting
[00:37:58] because the King James translators translated this pale.
[00:38:02] Now that's not technically wrong.
[00:38:05] There's a reason why they did this
[00:38:07] because they thought in their minds,
[00:38:08] well, we've never seen this other color
[00:38:11] that we're gonna see that it is.
[00:38:13] We've never seen this other color type horse.
[00:38:15] So, you know, part of the definition leans toward pale.
[00:38:18] So they just lean to that part of the definition.
[00:38:22] But here's the Greek definition of the word here.
[00:38:26] Translated pale in the King James,
[00:38:28] it is the Greek word chloros and it means greenish.
[00:38:34] That is verdant, which is green,
[00:38:37] done color green or pale or pale green, right?
[00:38:44] So they just lean toward the pale side.
[00:38:47] But what we discover when you look through the Bible
[00:38:50] to see how this word is used,
[00:38:51] you find out that this is the word used for green grass,
[00:38:55] green trees, chloros is used for green.
[00:38:59] It's translated green everywhere else but here.
[00:39:02] So this fourth horse, horseman of the apocalypse,
[00:39:07] this fourth seal is a green horse.
[00:39:10] And the rider on this horse is different than the others.
[00:39:14] Death, that's not a good rider at all, right?
[00:39:20] Granted, the red horse wasn't very good either.
[00:39:23] None of them are good.
[00:39:25] But this one says death on it, right?
[00:39:27] And hell's right behind it.
[00:39:29] Let's look at this.
[00:39:32] So I've shared many times.
[00:39:34] I think it was, I first heard this in 2010
[00:39:38] from, I give honor to whom the honors do
[00:39:41] and credit to whom credit do,
[00:39:43] though I disagree with him on many points.
[00:39:45] But Erwin Baxter's the one that brought this to my attention.
[00:39:48] He's a prophecy teacher.
[00:39:52] But I did check him out to make sure.
[00:39:55] And sure enough, it is true
[00:39:57] that the sacred color of Islam is green.
[00:40:01] And it's known now that the reason for that
[00:40:06] is because it said,
[00:40:08] and I don't know if it's legend or what,
[00:40:11] but it is, I mean, it's a fact in Islam.
[00:40:14] You see it here in all these different pictures,
[00:40:16] flags and bandanas and mosque tops
[00:40:19] and the coffins of their holy mystic men called Sufis.
[00:40:24] And I don't think any Muslim would disagree.
[00:40:28] They actually too, Muslims believe
[00:40:30] that when they go to paradise,
[00:40:32] that they're gonna wear green robes
[00:40:34] and not white like Christians are gonna wear white
[00:40:36] and have white robes, the Bible tells us.
[00:40:38] They believe they're gonna wear green.
[00:40:40] So that's why green is prominent
[00:40:43] in Islam.
[00:40:44] And of course, up there in the top left corner
[00:40:49] is the flag of Saudi Arabia that is green
[00:40:53] and has a sword on it.
[00:40:55] Because if you steal something,
[00:40:56] they cut your hand off with a sword
[00:40:58] and they love cutting people's heads off.
[00:41:01] All right, so this is a fact here.
[00:41:04] So when you know that,
[00:41:06] do we see this ideology in the world
[00:41:08] influencing a big or great number of people?
[00:41:11] Yeah, we do.
[00:41:12] Well, let's get some more confirmation.
[00:41:14] There's a guy, Daniel Pipes.
[00:41:17] Oh, is he a PhD?
[00:41:18] I think he's a PhD in political science.
[00:41:21] But he wrote this book,
[00:41:22] "'Militant Islam Reaches America.'"
[00:41:26] And though I agree with who did September 11th,
[00:41:31] he made this statement in his book.
[00:41:34] And he said here,
[00:41:35] "'The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991
[00:41:38] prompted loose talk about Islam replacing Marxism,
[00:41:42] Leninism, as the West's necessary enemy.
[00:41:46] In symbolic terms, it was said that the green Islam's color
[00:41:50] had replaced red communism's color.'"
[00:41:54] So you see, they even, this guy, as far as I know,
[00:41:59] I don't believe he's a Christian at all.
[00:42:01] He worked for the Bush administration at one point.
[00:42:04] But even they recognize that red is communism's color
[00:42:10] promoted mainly by Russia, China,
[00:42:14] but they are very clear that green is Islam's color.
[00:42:18] That's a direct quote, all of that.
[00:42:20] Even what's in parentheses,
[00:42:22] I didn't add anything to that as a direct quote
[00:42:25] from this, "'Militant Islam Reaches America,'"
[00:42:28] by Daniel Pipes, just so you saw another reference.
[00:42:31] Now, remember it says that this green spirit has authority.
[00:42:37] Authority is power, influence,
[00:42:40] over one-quarter of the earth.
[00:42:43] Right now, it's estimated that the world population
[00:42:45] is around seven billion.
[00:42:48] The best estimate I could find concerning the number
[00:42:50] of Muslims in the world was 1.8 billion.
[00:42:54] That comes to exactly 0.25, one-quarter.
[00:42:59] Now, is that a coincidence?
[00:43:01] No, but if you think it's just me coming up with this,
[00:43:05] this was a 2009 article in CNN World.
[00:43:10] Nearly one in four people worldwide is Muslim report says.
[00:43:14] Now, this was in 2009,
[00:43:16] but we know Islam's been a growing religion in the world,
[00:43:20] but at that time, it says nearly one in four.
[00:43:23] That's one-quarter of the world, one-fourth of the world.
[00:43:26] Just like Revelation 6 says
[00:43:31] that they will have authority over one-quarter.
[00:43:35] Now, remember, Islam is all about,
[00:43:39] I mean, having power and authority.
[00:43:41] They claim great authority over their Muslim believers
[00:43:47] and adherents, followers, however you wanna say it.
[00:43:50] To the point is, if a Muslim converts,
[00:43:52] that converts from Islam to Christianity,
[00:43:56] that's your immediate death sentence.
[00:43:58] You're marked for death, okay?
[00:44:05] And it's interesting because when we moved into
[00:44:10] the house we're in now, we had them come out
[00:44:12] and put in the cable, internet, phone, that whole thing.
[00:44:19] The guy that came, the cable guy, was an Iraqi Kurd.
[00:44:25] He was not a Muslim, but he lived among them.
[00:44:29] Sad, sad story, I mean, he told me about
[00:44:32] that Saddam Hussein killed his whole family.
[00:44:35] And that's why he said he helped the Americans
[00:44:39] as a translator because he so hated Saddam.
[00:44:41] Saddam had gassed the Kurds.
[00:44:43] He had tried to completely wipe out,
[00:44:46] just committed genocide, really, against the Kurdish people.
[00:44:52] And this is what he told me.
[00:44:55] He said the Arab Muslims, he said, in Iraq.
[00:45:01] Now, this is him living there his entire life.
[00:45:04] He said they love death, they love it.
[00:45:09] And he said they don't love anyone.
[00:45:13] There's no real love.
[00:45:14] He said the only thing they love,
[00:45:15] they don't love their family, they don't love their children,
[00:45:18] they don't love their neighbor.
[00:45:20] He said they love death, is what they love.
[00:45:23] And there was a famous quote from the Palestinians
[00:45:28] and this was in the news for some time,
[00:45:31] but I remember it well, but there was a quote
[00:45:35] from the Palestinians to the Israelis saying,
[00:45:38] you will never win, you will never beat us
[00:45:40] because we love death like you love life.
[00:45:46] Now, think about that.
[00:45:47] That's why they blow themselves up.
[00:45:48] They go walk into a church or a restaurant
[00:45:51] with bombs strapped to them and blow themselves up.
[00:45:54] This is a psychotic religion that loves death.
[00:45:57] Loves death.
[00:45:58] I mean, they relish it.
[00:46:02] They're taught too, they're taught
[00:46:04] that if they kill themselves trying to kill the infidels,
[00:46:09] the Jews or the Christians, or other unbelievers,
[00:46:13] that they immediately go to paradise
[00:46:16] if they're a martyr in Islam.
[00:46:18] Tell me that's not loving death, right?
[00:46:21] Christians, we know it's an honor
[00:46:23] to be a martyr for our faith,
[00:46:24] but we're not going out trying to get it done
[00:46:26] by strapping bombs to us and blowing up innocent people.
[00:46:32] We're not going out, I'm not going out,
[00:46:35] let me go out and find a mosque and do that.
[00:46:37] No, we're not doing that kind of thing.
[00:46:40] But that's why the writer is death.
[00:46:42] And if you look, wherever true Islam,
[00:46:46] I don't even say militant Islam,
[00:46:47] whenever true Islam that goes according to the Quran
[00:46:52] and the Hadiths and the example of Muhammad,
[00:46:55] wherever they put that into practice,
[00:46:58] they create hell on earth.
[00:47:01] They really do.
[00:47:03] They destroy a society of culture.
[00:47:09] I mean, isn't it interesting though
[00:47:10] that the Bible foretold this 2,000 years ago?
[00:47:16] You know, Islam didn't come around until the sixth century,
[00:47:21] A.D., and yet the Bible foretold a green spirit.
[00:47:26] Now see, do you see how God concealed it though?
[00:47:29] As a green horse, but he gave the hints,
[00:47:33] it will have authority in the end, in the very end,
[00:47:37] it's gonna have authority over one quarter of the earth
[00:47:39] to kill with the sword.
[00:47:40] And boy, do they still love the real sword.
[00:47:45] I mean, Saudi Arabia right now,
[00:47:47] where Mecca and Medina is,
[00:47:48] the two holy places of Islam,
[00:47:51] they cutting people's heads off right now,
[00:47:54] in the street, beheading people.
[00:47:58] This is, you think about that being practiced right now
[00:48:01] in the 21st century,
[00:48:05] Bible is exactly right that this would be happening.
[00:48:09] Look at the, they run, they get in the street with signs,
[00:48:12] behead those who insult Islam, behead.
[00:48:15] If anybody has doubts about the Bible,
[00:48:17] we're gonna look, I mean,
[00:48:18] if you have doubts about the Bible,
[00:48:20] here's all these Islamic flags.
[00:48:22] Now, isn't it interesting, look at this,
[00:48:23] that the four horsemen of the apocalypse,
[00:48:26] white, red, black, and green,
[00:48:29] look at all the flags,
[00:48:30] you think the spirit of Antichrist is in Islam?
[00:48:33] I do, it's all there.
[00:48:37] But let's look at this.
[00:48:39] Isn't it interesting that we have this green horse,
[00:48:44] right, whose rider is death,
[00:48:47] who has authority over one quarter of the earth,
[00:48:52] and that immediately, that's the foreseal,
[00:48:54] the fifth seal is a revelation of Christian martyrs
[00:49:01] following the fourth seal.
[00:49:04] So what follows Islam, death, hell, and Christian martyrs?
[00:49:14] There's no coincidence.
[00:49:16] Let's look at this, Matthew 24, nine,
[00:49:18] then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
[00:49:21] and shall kill you, and you shall be hated
[00:49:22] of all nations for my namesake.
[00:49:24] Revelation 6, nine, the fifth seal.
[00:49:28] Begin of Jesus, when he had opened the fifth seal,
[00:49:30] I saw under the altar the souls of them
[00:49:34] that were slain for the word of God,
[00:49:36] and the testimony which they held.
[00:49:40] And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
[00:49:42] how long, O Lord, holy and true,
[00:49:44] dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them
[00:49:47] that dwell on the earth?
[00:49:48] And white robes were given unto every one of them,
[00:49:51] and it was said unto them that they should rest
[00:49:53] for yet a little season until their fellow servants
[00:49:56] also and their brethren,
[00:49:57] that should be killed as they wore, should be fulfilled.
[00:50:02] Everybody see that.
[00:50:05] Now that's the fifth seal.
[00:50:08] Now two, what this fifth seal is showing is,
[00:50:13] what, two waves of martyrs, right?
[00:50:19] But again, I ask you, is it any coincidence
[00:50:23] that what follows the fourth seal,
[00:50:25] the green horse that I believe is Islam,
[00:50:29] is Christian martyrs who were killed for the word of God
[00:50:33] for their testimony of Jesus?
[00:50:38] And as we're gonna find out, many of them beheaded.
[00:50:43] No, it's not coincidence.
[00:50:47] Now, when he says here, listen to this,
[00:50:51] these martyrs that were dead said,
[00:50:53] how long, O Lord, holy and true,
[00:50:55] dost thou not judge and avenge our blood
[00:50:59] on them that dwell on the earth?
[00:51:02] Think about, these are martyrs crying out
[00:51:07] about people who had killed them
[00:51:09] who were still alive on the earth.
[00:51:18] And then it says that they should rest
[00:51:20] for just a little season, rest,
[00:51:23] what is he talking about, rest from what?
[00:51:24] Rest from their desire for vengeance.
[00:51:29] He says, you rest for a little season.
[00:51:31] What's a little season?
[00:51:33] Short time period.
[00:51:34] Here's what I believe.
[00:51:36] I believe we saw the first wave
[00:51:39] of end time Christian martyrs.
[00:51:42] Now we've always had Christian martyrs
[00:51:43] from the first century until now,
[00:51:44] and Roman Catholicism has been guilty
[00:51:47] of killing a lot of Christians.
[00:51:48] But I'm talking about end time,
[00:51:50] the end of the end time.
[00:51:52] There would be two big waves of Christian martyrdom.
[00:51:57] And I believe that that started around 2013 and 14
[00:52:03] with the rise of ISIS, militant Islam,
[00:52:07] and what happened in Syria and Iraq
[00:52:12] and really started happening all over the world.
[00:52:15] There was this, you could tell,
[00:52:16] it's like something kicked into overdrive.
[00:52:20] That's a picture there of Christians in Libya,
[00:52:24] all who will be headed on the beach by Islam.
[00:52:28] There it talks about a rare glimpse inside ISIS.
[00:52:31] Model city is hell on earth.
[00:52:33] Syrians in Raqqa reveal how jihadists use Heaven Square
[00:52:38] to display heads on spikes
[00:52:40] and leave crucified bodies for days.
[00:52:44] This was, I believe, perpetrated and allowed
[00:52:48] by Obama administration and Hillary
[00:52:52] and even no name himself, McCain.
[00:52:55] But I believe these are the martyrs
[00:52:57] that are now crying out saying,
[00:52:58] Lord, how long before you judge and avenge our blood
[00:53:03] on those who are the ones who killed them
[00:53:05] would still be alive now?
[00:53:08] This is just a few years ago.
[00:53:11] How long, Lord, before you judge them?
[00:53:13] And they say, just wait a little while
[00:53:15] because there's gonna be another wave of persecution.
[00:53:20] I believe that's gonna be centered
[00:53:21] around the mark of the beast, another mass.
[00:53:24] That's why he said, just wait.
[00:53:27] I'm gonna allow this thing to go for a little while longer.
[00:53:32] There's gonna be more of your brothers and sisters martyred
[00:53:35] and then I will avenge you.
[00:53:38] Pretty much gives us a timeframe, doesn't it,
[00:53:41] of where we are.
[00:53:42] And that's why I believe we're in the fifth seal,
[00:53:44] that we're in the middle of it.
[00:53:46] That's where we are, time-wise.
[00:53:49] Because the next seal to be open,
[00:53:57] oh yeah, yeah, Kevin, for those of you who can't hear
[00:54:00] Kevin saying that even recently the Muslims
[00:54:02] been wiping out Christian villages all over Africa,
[00:54:06] particularly Nigeria, where I've been twice.
[00:54:09] Yeah, very, very, very bad stuff going on.
[00:54:13] Boko Haram and then, I mean, it's not gonna stop.
[00:54:17] I mean, there was the big bombing,
[00:54:19] where was that, in India or Indonesia?
[00:54:22] I can't remember now.
[00:54:23] Recently, right at Easter time
[00:54:26] and hundreds and hundreds of Christians killed
[00:54:31] just because Islam loves death and hates Christianity
[00:54:36] and hates Israel.
[00:54:38] Here's the verse, Revelation 20, before we go any further,
[00:54:41] before we get into the sixth seal.
[00:54:42] Revelation 20, I saw thrones and they that sat upon them,
[00:54:46] judgment was given unto them,
[00:54:47] and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded
[00:54:50] for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God,
[00:54:53] which had not worshiped the beast,
[00:54:55] neither his image, neither had received his mark
[00:54:57] upon their foreheads or in their hands,
[00:54:59] and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[00:55:02] Again, this is the Bible, this is the book of Revelation.
[00:55:05] We have historic evidence,
[00:55:07] we have documented manuscript evidence,
[00:55:11] we have the testimony of early church fathers
[00:55:13] like Polycarp who was discipled by John
[00:55:15] and then later Irenaeus, discipled by them,
[00:55:19] and clearly saying that the book of Revelation
[00:55:23] was written by the Apostle John
[00:55:25] while he was exiled on the Isle of Patmos in A.D. 95,
[00:55:29] right before the end of Emperor Domitian's reign
[00:55:32] and then distributed to the churches then.
[00:55:34] Now this is A.D. 95, 95 A.D.
[00:55:39] We're now in 2019 and we were told prophetically
[00:55:45] John was told by the Holy Spirit,
[00:55:48] when he was caught up in the heaven,
[00:55:49] talking to Jesus face to face, the risen Lord Jesus,
[00:55:54] that in the end time,
[00:55:56] many Christian martyrs would be martyred
[00:55:59] by beheading, I mean, can we even fathom that,
[00:56:05] that someone could predict something like that
[00:56:07] 2,000 years away?
[00:56:08] I mean, think about if we had 2,000 years more,
[00:56:12] could we predict what would be happening
[00:56:14] 2,000 years from now accurately to the detail?
[00:56:20] Not without God, not without the Creator,
[00:56:24] the true God, the one true God.
[00:56:26] See, no other, this is why I know
[00:56:28] this book is true and real,
[00:56:31] why I know it's inspired by the true Creator,
[00:56:34] Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah,
[00:56:38] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[00:56:42] This is why I know this is the book,
[00:56:46] because there's no way you get these specific prophecies.
[00:56:50] And there's so many hundreds about Jesus first coming
[00:56:56] and even hundreds more.
[00:56:57] I think there's 300 and something
[00:56:59] that foretold Jesus first coming,
[00:57:01] sometimes thousands and even hundreds of years
[00:57:04] before He came to die for our sins
[00:57:06] and rise from the dead, God in the flesh,
[00:57:07] that mystery of the Trinity,
[00:57:14] but that God would come in the flesh
[00:57:15] to die for our sins and be resurrected
[00:57:18] and how all of that would transpire
[00:57:20] where He'd be born, how He'd be born of a virgin,
[00:57:23] that He'd be born in Bethlehem,
[00:57:26] where He would start His ministry in Galilee,
[00:57:32] how He would grow up in Nazareth
[00:57:33] and be called the Nazarene,
[00:57:38] and that His hands and feet would be pierced.
[00:57:40] That was foretold.
[00:57:41] 1,000 years by the King David,
[00:57:44] anointed by the Spirit of God,
[00:57:46] speaking through Him, 1,000 years before it happened,
[00:57:50] He said, they're gonna nail my hands and feet.
[00:57:53] They're gonna cast lots for my garments.
[00:57:56] Listen, when you're hanging on a cross,
[00:57:58] you can't fulfill a prophecy
[00:58:00] and cause the soldiers to cast lots for your garments.
[00:58:06] That's why I believe this book
[00:58:08] is truly the inspired word of God,
[00:58:11] that God moved, the Holy Spirit moved upon holy men,
[00:58:15] and He led them what to write down.
[00:58:17] It's not just a book of men, from the minds of men,
[00:58:20] from natural men, man just guessing
[00:58:24] what might happen hundreds of years
[00:58:26] and thousands of years in the future and getting it right.
[00:58:30] No, God put His stamp, His DNA,
[00:58:33] His fingerprints all over this
[00:58:37] by telling you what was gonna happen thousands of years.
[00:58:41] He foretold the rise of Islam, the rise of communism,
[00:58:45] what would happen in the end,
[00:58:46] and that Christians would be being beheaded in the end.
[00:58:49] We've watched it on YouTube,
[00:58:54] and there's more to come, mind-blowing.
[00:59:00] How can you doubt this?
[00:59:03] How can anybody doubt the Bible?
[00:59:07] You just look at the Bible, not just manuscript evidence,
[00:59:10] not just historical facts,
[00:59:13] but you look at, or archeological discoveries
[00:59:16] that's confirmed it over and over and over again,
[00:59:19] but you look at the fulfilled prophecies.
[00:59:23] No book, not the Hindu Vedas, not the Quran,
[00:59:27] not any religious writings foretold things like this
[00:59:34] to the letter about the end
[00:59:35] because God wanted us to know
[00:59:38] that we would have something that we could trust
[00:59:42] in the last days of deception and confusion
[00:59:45] and satanic takeover of the world,
[00:59:48] that there is hope Jesus is going to return.
[00:59:54] But these things are going to happen first.
[00:59:58] Now, let's continue.
[01:00:02] Look at that.
[01:00:03] This is recent article.
[01:00:04] This is Fox News.
[01:00:07] Look at what it said.
[01:00:08] I pulled this up this morning, published one day ago.
[01:00:11] So yesterday.
[01:00:14] And it says here,
[01:00:14] Christian persecution close to genocide levels
[01:00:19] largely ignored due to political correctness.
[01:00:24] Why?
[01:00:25] Because the spirit of this world
[01:00:26] is the spirit of antichrist.
[01:00:28] The world hates Christians.
[01:00:31] They don't want anybody knowing how bad
[01:00:33] it really is for Christians right now
[01:00:35] because then that might garner some sympathy
[01:00:38] and some support from the world.
[01:00:41] They don't want that.
[01:00:44] The powers that control this world
[01:00:46] and that want that world government.
[01:00:49] Here's the Pakistan Christian Post.
[01:00:53] Pakistan is a communist country.
[01:00:55] Look what it says right here.
[01:00:57] 80% of worlds persecuted are Christian.
[01:01:01] But they're not going to tell you about that.
[01:01:04] Let's now look at the sixth seal.
[01:01:06] We got to finish this more.
[01:01:07] The sixth seal revelation.
[01:01:11] Chapter 6, 12, verses 12 through 17.
[01:01:14] Let's read it.
[01:01:15] We get to this sixth seal and we see this.
[01:01:17] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal
[01:01:22] and lo, there was a great earthquake
[01:01:23] and the sun became black as sap cloth of hair
[01:01:25] and the moon became his blood
[01:01:26] and the stars of heaven fell into the earth
[01:01:28] even as a fig tree fell into the earth.
[01:01:30] And the sun became black as sap cloth of hair
[01:01:32] and the moon became his blood
[01:01:34] as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs
[01:01:36] when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
[01:01:39] And the heaven, talking about the firmament,
[01:01:41] remember there are three heavens,
[01:01:42] our atmosphere, the solid firmament
[01:01:44] and then the third heaven.
[01:01:45] So the only heaven that's gonna be able
[01:01:47] to shake and depart like a scroll
[01:01:49] will be the solid firmament.
[01:01:51] And God's gonna begin to roll it,
[01:01:53] crack it up and roll it back,
[01:01:54] move it out of the way.
[01:01:57] So this is the very end.
[01:01:59] And every mountain and island
[01:02:00] were moved out of their places.
[01:02:02] This is the judgment of the earth right here, folks.
[01:02:05] And the kings of the earth
[01:02:06] and the great men and the rich men
[01:02:07] and the chief captains and the mighty men
[01:02:09] and every bond man and every free man hid themselves
[01:02:12] and the dens and the rocks and the mountains
[01:02:14] and said to the mountains, rocks following us
[01:02:15] and hide us from the face of him
[01:02:17] that sitteth upon the throne
[01:02:19] and from the wrath of lamb
[01:02:20] for the great day of his wrath is come.
[01:02:22] So the sixth seal is the end.
[01:02:24] And let's go ahead and flip to Matthew 24 to show you.
[01:02:30] I mentioned this, I said we'd come full circle
[01:02:32] back to the sixth seal.
[01:02:35] Matthew 24, they'd ask him,
[01:02:38] they'd ask Jesus,
[01:02:39] what will be the sign of your coming
[01:02:40] and of the end of the age?
[01:02:43] Jesus tells them here,
[01:02:43] for then shall be great tribulation,
[01:02:46] such as was not since the beginning of the world
[01:02:49] to this time known or ever shall be.
[01:02:52] He says, except those days should be shortened,
[01:02:54] there should no flesh be saved,
[01:02:55] but for the elect's sake,
[01:02:56] those days shall be shortened.
[01:02:58] Verse 23, then if any man shall say unto you,
[01:03:01] lo here is Christ or there, believe it not,
[01:03:03] for there shall arise false Christ and false prophets
[01:03:06] and shall show great signs and wonders
[01:03:08] in so much that if it were possible,
[01:03:10] they shall deceive the very elect.
[01:03:12] Jesus said, behold, I have told you before,
[01:03:14] I've warned you.
[01:03:16] He says, wherefore if they shall say unto you,
[01:03:17] behold, he is in the desert, go not forth,
[01:03:19] behold, he is in secret chambers, believe it not.
[01:03:22] For as lightning cometh out of the east
[01:03:24] and shineth even unto the west,
[01:03:26] so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.
[01:03:28] Now let's read verse 29.
[01:03:31] Immediately after the tribulation of those days,
[01:03:35] not before, after.
[01:03:39] Here we go, the sixth seal, same things.
[01:03:41] The sun darkened, does that sound like the sixth seal?
[01:03:44] Then the sixth seal say, the sun will be darkened, right?
[01:03:49] The next thing says, the moon shall not give her light.
[01:03:52] The moon's light will be affected.
[01:03:55] The stars shall fall from heaven, that's the firmament.
[01:03:58] The stars shall fall, didn't we just read?
[01:04:01] The sixth seal said that the stars will fall
[01:04:03] like fig trees, like figs from a fig tree
[01:04:05] that's being shaken of a mighty wind.
[01:04:09] The powers of heaven, of the heaven shall be shaken.
[01:04:11] That is the firmament, will be shaken
[01:04:15] as it will be cracked up and rolled back,
[01:04:17] moved out of the way.
[01:04:19] That's when they will see.
[01:04:21] It says, and then shall they shall appear
[01:04:24] the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.
[01:04:27] And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
[01:04:29] and they shall see the Son of Man coming
[01:04:30] in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[01:04:32] So they mourn.
[01:04:33] What did we see in Revelation 6, the sixth seal?
[01:04:36] What did he say?
[01:04:38] The rich men, the chief men and the captains,
[01:04:41] what do they, they begin to mourn.
[01:04:42] They say to the mountains, fall on us,
[01:04:44] hide us from the wrath of the Lamb.
[01:04:47] Matthew 24, 29 through 31 is the sixth seal.
[01:04:52] It's the end, it's the second coming of Jesus.
[01:04:55] The heavens open, it's cracked, it's rolled back,
[01:04:57] the firmaments roll back.
[01:04:58] They see Jesus, he begins to come.
[01:05:00] They begin to mourn, they begin to cry out.
[01:05:02] The wrath of the Lamb has come.
[01:05:04] That's the day, every mountain is moved,
[01:05:06] every island is moved.
[01:05:07] That's the day all the cities of the nations fall.
[01:05:09] That's the seventh vial of wrath.
[01:05:11] That's the seventh trumpet day.
[01:05:15] That's when, and then the next thing we see
[01:05:17] says the trumpet, this is the last trump, the seventh trump.
[01:05:21] He says, and then shall send forth his angels
[01:05:23] with a great sound of a trumpet,
[01:05:25] and they shall gather together his elect
[01:05:27] from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other.
[01:05:29] That's the rapture of the church,
[01:05:32] the resurrection of the righteous,
[01:05:33] the dead in Christ will rise first.
[01:05:35] Then we which are alive and remain
[01:05:36] shall be caught up in the moment,
[01:05:38] in the twinkling of an eye, the last trumpet.
[01:05:41] This is how it unfolds.
[01:05:43] I don't care what anybody else says.
[01:05:44] I don't care, well, Pastor Dean, that's your opinion.
[01:05:46] No, that's what the Bible says.
[01:05:48] It's what the Bible teaches.
[01:05:49] It's clear.
[01:05:50] There is no pre-tribulation rapture taught in this book.
[01:05:54] You have to create, you have to manufacture it.
[01:05:59] Now I just read a minute ago when he said
[01:06:01] Revelation 20, he said there are gonna be people
[01:06:03] who don't, who resist the mark of the beast.
[01:06:06] He says they're gonna be headed
[01:06:08] because they resist, they won't worship the beast.
[01:06:12] And take his image and his mark.
[01:06:14] And it says that they will be in the first resurrection
[01:06:17] if you keep reading Revelation 20.
[01:06:20] Well, how can you have a pre-tribulation rapture?
[01:06:25] How can you have that before the mark of the beast
[01:06:27] that doesn't come to the middle of the tribulation period?
[01:06:31] When he says those are gonna be in the first resurrection
[01:06:35] who are beheaded for resisting the mark.
[01:06:37] I'm just saying, look folks, it's not my opinion.
[01:06:40] It's just fact.
[01:06:41] This is as much fact that there's no pre-tribulation rapture.
[01:06:45] That's a false doctrine.
[01:06:47] And that's as much a fact that Jesus died on the cross
[01:06:50] and rose from the dead.
[01:06:51] It's that plain in scripture.
[01:06:56] I'm sick of the doctrines of men and the traditions of men
[01:07:00] and theologians that make up stuff built on assumptions.
[01:07:05] No, that's what's happened.
[01:07:07] The sixth seal is Matthew 24, 29 through 31.
[01:07:15] The sun goes dark.
[01:07:16] The moon doesn't give its light.
[01:07:18] The stars fall.
[01:07:20] The heaven, the firmament is cracked open and rolled back.
[01:07:24] The world sees Jesus sitting upon his throne
[01:07:28] and beginning to come.
[01:07:29] They begin to mourn and cry out.
[01:07:32] And then according to Revelation 6,
[01:07:34] according to, you go to Revelation 16
[01:07:38] about the final vial of wrath.
[01:07:41] Same event, it says the mountains move.
[01:07:44] All the mountains are brought down.
[01:07:46] All the islands move.
[01:07:47] All the cities of the nations fall.
[01:07:49] This is the great day of God's wrath.
[01:07:51] This is the great day.
[01:07:54] And right before all the mountains fall down
[01:07:56] and all the islands are moved
[01:07:58] and all the cities of the nations are brought to the ground
[01:08:01] by the wrath of the lamb,
[01:08:03] we are pulled out in the moment of the twinkling of an eye
[01:08:06] to meet him in the air as he comes.
[01:08:08] It's not the third coming we join him.
[01:08:10] We join him in the air at the second coming.
[01:08:15] That's what the Bible teaches.
[01:08:17] And I don't care if it chaps you behind
[01:08:20] or it makes you upset or it makes you nervous and scared.
[01:08:24] It's what the Bible teaches.
[01:08:26] We don't get to make up our own doctrines
[01:08:28] and create our own false security blankets
[01:08:30] when it comes to any of these things.
[01:08:32] Guess what?
[01:08:32] You might have your head chopped off by a Muslim.
[01:08:35] Stop being a little wimpy, whiny Christian.
[01:08:38] I'm gonna get out of here
[01:08:40] because I'm an American Christian.
[01:08:41] I'm gonna get out before it all happens here.
[01:08:45] What about these poor?
[01:08:46] Christianity is nearly completely wiped out
[01:08:50] in the Middle East by ISIS.
[01:08:58] The pre-tribulation rapture is a Western fantasy.
[01:09:12] Just not gonna be that light.
[01:09:15] So we see, I'm gonna repeat it again.
[01:09:17] The seven seals told a story of the end time
[01:09:22] and took us all the way to the second coming.
[01:09:24] The seventh seal, the reason I'm not gonna spend
[01:09:26] a lot of time on that,
[01:09:27] because all it says is what?
[01:09:28] The seventh seal is open
[01:09:30] and there's 30 minutes of silence in heaven.
[01:09:32] You know why there's 30 minutes of silence in heaven?
[01:09:35] Because when the crap goes down,
[01:09:37] you know, when the old proverbial saying,
[01:09:39] when the crap hits the fan at the sixth seal
[01:09:43] and then we are raptured and taken up
[01:09:46] and meet the Lord in the air,
[01:09:47] the dead in Christ and then we which are alive
[01:09:49] at that moment, there's gonna be silence
[01:09:51] for 30 minutes at the destruction
[01:09:54] that's happening upon the earth.
[01:09:56] When the mountains are going down,
[01:09:58] when the islands are moving,
[01:10:00] when all the cities are brought down,
[01:10:02] when mystery Babylon, the Vatican is being judged
[01:10:06] and destroyed, we're gonna stand there in awe
[01:10:12] at the wrath of almighty God, the lamb,
[01:10:15] the Lord Jesus Christ, against the wicked,
[01:10:18] against the forces of the antichrist gathered at Armageddon.
[01:10:24] We're going to behold that
[01:10:25] and nobody's gonna be talking.
[01:10:28] That's the seventh seal.
[01:10:30] Your mouth will be shut because we will all even,
[01:10:34] think about this, even the glorified saints
[01:10:39] who just went from mortal to immortal,
[01:10:43] that just went from corruptible to incorruptible,
[01:10:46] the wrath of the lamb is gonna be so overwhelming.
[01:10:50] It's gonna be so vast, so powerful, so scary,
[01:10:55] that nobody's gonna say a word in heaven for 30 minutes.
[01:11:01] You know how it gets, you know,
[01:11:02] when dad's dad in the house finally gets mad
[01:11:05] and somebody's about to get the spanking of their life,
[01:11:07] everybody else gets real quiet.
[01:11:11] Right?
[01:11:13] Why?
[01:11:15] Don't want it to be me.
[01:11:18] I'm not saying a word.
[01:11:21] He's focused on somebody else.
[01:11:22] I'm good right now.
[01:11:26] That's what's happening.
[01:11:28] 30 minutes of silence, that's the seventh seal.
[01:11:33] Now remember, right after that, you see in Revelation 7,
[01:11:37] you see Revelation 7 talks about the seventh seal
[01:11:39] and then it says, there's 30 minutes of silence
[01:11:42] and it talks about then,
[01:11:43] we have what's called a parenthetical statement.
[01:11:46] And then he starts talking about the 144,000 being sealed.
[01:11:50] Has nothing to do with the story he just told
[01:11:53] of the seals.
[01:11:55] He's moved on to something else.
[01:11:57] Now we're in the new, there's a new thing.
[01:12:00] Then he comes back, after he talks about seeing that,
[01:12:02] he comes back and says, you know what?
[01:12:04] I see this multitude, this great multitude in heaven.
[01:12:07] Now remember, he's already been in heaven.
[01:12:10] And he says, I see this great multitude in heaven.
[01:12:12] I said, Lord, where did these come from?
[01:12:15] He said, these are they that came out
[01:12:17] of the great tribulation.
[01:12:21] Meaning they were in it.
[01:12:23] They didn't get out before it.
[01:12:26] Oh, come on, don't shout me down when we're preaching good.
[01:12:31] Fear and emotions do not rule doctrine.
[01:12:37] Well, let that sink in for a minute.
[01:12:39] Fear and emotions, false security, little lioness blankets.
[01:12:45] Nothing bad's gonna happen to me.
[01:12:46] I'm not gonna have to suffer any persecution.
[01:12:53] Toughen up buttercup, because it's gonna get real.
[01:12:59] And we're not leaving here before these things happen.
[01:13:06] It's that the last Trump.
[01:13:07] I love how the pre-trib rapture people teach.
[01:13:11] We're gonna have these seven seals,
[01:13:15] and then there's these seven trumpets.
[01:13:17] Well, yeah, yeah, the rapture happens at the last trumpet,
[01:13:19] but we're gonna get out of here
[01:13:20] and then there's gonna be seven trumpets blocked.
[01:13:22] That's what they teach.
[01:13:24] Does that even make any sense?
[01:13:28] Doesn't even make any sense.
[01:13:29] Paul said the last trumpet.
[01:13:32] In the last days, there's only revealed in scripture
[01:13:36] one series of trumpets, and we covered them last week.
[01:13:41] At the last Trump, the dead in Christ will rise.
[01:13:46] Then we which are alive and remain.
[01:13:49] That's the way it happens.
[01:13:50] Anything else is heresy.
[01:13:52] Anything else is false teaching,
[01:13:54] assumption, and giving people false security,
[01:13:57] which is exactly what Jesus and the prophets,
[01:14:02] Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Isaiah,
[01:14:04] always identified the false prophets as saying,
[01:14:07] you're gonna have peace, peace.
[01:14:09] Nothing bad's gonna happen to you.
[01:14:15] Anybody telling you that?
[01:14:16] You ought to be like, oh,
[01:14:20] but somebody telling you, you know,
[01:14:21] in this world, you're gonna have tribulation.
[01:14:23] I remember someone saying that
[01:14:24] sometimes at one point in here, right?
[01:14:28] In this world, you'll have tribulation.
[01:14:29] Oh, how about the Lord's prayer in John 17?
[01:14:34] Father, I pray not that you take them out of the world,
[01:14:38] but that you keep them from evil.
[01:14:41] Don't take them out.
[01:14:43] Just protect them.
[01:14:46] Say, well, what is it?
[01:14:47] What about martyrdom?
[01:14:48] What about Christians suffer?
[01:14:50] Well, yeah, he didn't say
[01:14:53] that we would never be persecuted,
[01:14:56] suffer, or even die for our faith.
[01:14:58] That promise has never been in the scriptures.
[01:15:02] He will protect us until it is our day.
[01:15:09] And we all have a day.
[01:15:11] The apostle Peter was crucified.
[01:15:16] The apostle Paul was beheaded.
[01:15:21] And we think we should just get out on easy street, right?
[01:15:28] Some of us may.
[01:15:29] Hey, if you do, praise God.
[01:15:35] I just wouldn't count on it.
[01:15:39] Especially if you're gonna be a real Christian
[01:15:41] in the last of the last days.
[01:15:44] You need to prepare yourself
[01:15:48] for persecution and possibly martyrdom.
[01:15:50] So I'm gonna end with that today.
[01:15:56] Pastor Dean, that wasn't very edifying.
[01:16:00] It's all according to how you look at it.
[01:16:03] Let me tell you something.
[01:16:05] If it ever comes to the point
[01:16:08] where they roll out the guillotines
[01:16:10] and the New World Order is working with the Muslims
[01:16:13] and beheading everybody just to keep the Muslims happy.
[01:16:18] And it's my day.
[01:16:22] And they laid me my head down in that guillotine.
[01:16:26] All I'm gonna tell you right now
[01:16:28] is there's gonna be one big fat smile on my face.
[01:16:34] And if I can speak with my last moments,
[01:16:36] I'm gonna tell them, Jesus is coming.
[01:16:40] It won't be long now.
[01:16:43] You might wanna ask him to forgive you.
[01:16:46] You might wanna ask him to be your Lord and Savior
[01:16:50] before it's too late.
[01:16:54] You know what I'm saying?
[01:16:55] I'm gonna be talking about Jesus.
[01:16:56] And if there are people that are already taking the mark,
[01:16:58] I'm gonna be like, you're in so much trouble.
[01:17:04] Because guess what?
[01:17:05] You're gonna see me again here shortly.
[01:17:09] Because I'm gonna be riding with the one
[01:17:11] that's about, that's gonna take you out.
[01:17:15] So you enjoy your moment here,
[01:17:17] because it won't be long.
[01:17:20] You know what I'm saying?
[01:17:22] Why do we count our lives so dear?
[01:17:25] Are we prepared to say?
[01:17:28] You know, I saw this, I'll say this.
[01:17:30] I saw this when ISIS was on that tear.
[01:17:33] And I watched some videos that probably
[01:17:36] most people couldn't stomach.
[01:17:38] And I wouldn't even recommend.
[01:17:40] But there was one video where ISIS was preparing to hang,
[01:17:45] I don't know if it was a pastor in Syria or Iraq,
[01:17:50] one of those places.
[01:17:50] But he was a pastor of a church.
[01:17:52] And they had a little crane,
[01:17:53] and they had it set up to hang this guy.
[01:17:56] And they had to rope around his neck.
[01:17:57] They were about to hang him, all right,
[01:18:00] to kill him.
[01:18:02] And he was smiling.
[01:18:05] I'll never forget that.
[01:18:06] And they hung him right then and there, killed him.
[01:18:10] He was smiling.
[01:18:12] See, that's a Christian who knew the Lord.
[01:18:18] Can you imagine that smiling at your,
[01:18:21] people who are about to kill you
[01:18:22] because you're a Christian, and you're smiling at them?
[01:18:27] That's got to be unnerving, didn't it?
[01:18:31] You know, let's pray.
[01:18:33] Father in heaven, we thank you, Lord,
[01:18:35] for your mercy and your grace.
[01:18:38] We thank you that we live in this country
[01:18:40] here in America that's free.
[01:18:43] And that we haven't had to live in the fear
[01:18:48] or the danger that many of our brothers and sisters
[01:18:50] have had to live in in other parts of the world
[01:18:52] and in other times.
[01:18:55] Lord, I pray today in Jesus' name
[01:18:56] that you would just make this scripture,
[01:19:01] this truth, and these truths that we've covered today
[01:19:04] real in every heart, especially of our students
[01:19:07] as they prepare to preach and teach
[01:19:10] to those who are going to face these days
[01:19:12] that are very close.
[01:19:15] Give them your strength, your boldness,
[01:19:19] and that we fear no man,
[01:19:21] that we fear none that can kill the body.
[01:19:24] Lord, we thank you for that,
[01:19:26] and it's in Jesus' name we pray.
[01:19:28] Amen.
[01:19:29] All right.
[01:19:30] Class dismissed.
[01:19:32] Study for your tests.
[01:19:34] The tests are coming.
