America in Bible Prophecy

Now let me share one other thing with you. It's

the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary United States of America, right,

and praise God for that. You know, we live in

a country and look, I'm not saying this because I'm

an American. I'm saying this based on the Bible and

the spirit of Prophecy. I would recommend a chapter to

you in the book the Great Controversy called the Pilgrim Fathers.

You know, there are ideas going around out there that

somehow this nation was evil from its beginning. That is

incompatible with Scripture. It's incompatible with the spirit of Prophecy

as well. The signs of greatness of this country is

its republican system of government, not the party. I'm talking about,

a republic, a representative form of government, and Protestantism, the

Christian ethic and ideal, the lamblike ideal that gave rise

to the United States of America. There has never been

a country on the face of the earth that possesses

a constitution like the Christian Constitution United States of America.

Now look at this church we're in right here in it?

Are you in it? Yes? Or no? Okay? Now you

know why we have this church because of God Almighty

and the Constitution of the United States. Because this church

was the most important religious land used victory in the

history of the United States. It redefined what it means

to exercise the equal protection clause of the United States

Constitution against the power of the state, so they could

not prevent us from building by discriminating against us. You

hear me. So our Christian constitution is why we have

this church. God Almighty made that happen. So this is

the fourth of July. We're gonna be talking about Bible

prophecy today. We're gonna be looking at America transitioning from

this glorious lamb like Christian phase into the future. But

let us not forget that we have good roots, that

God has blessed this country, and we need to be

thankful for the freedoms we have. On the fourth of July,

and I'm gonna have a prayer and we'll start the

message of the day. Dear Father God, I thank you

for Jesus who died on the cross to give us liberty,

who took the children of Israel through the Red Sea

to give them liberty, and that you gave us the

Sabbath as a sign that we are no longer slaves. Father,

we are grateful for the love of God in Jesus

on the cross of Christ, when he affirmed what he

promised on the seventh day. It is finished, and he

gave us a right now righteousness good enough for the

judgment day. So help us Lord to go through the

scriptures of the day as we study intently to see

American Bible prophecy. This is a Bible study sermon. So

you got your bibles, got the screen, because it's gonna

be pretty intense. We're gonna have to get another scriptures.

Genealogical work has been done on my family by someone

other than me, and I discovered something that I have

an ancestor that goes all the way back to Jamestown,

which means from the very beginnings of this country, my

family was here and in Prince George's County, Maryland, Baltimore County.

I am a direct descendant of the Hearsts who helped

found Baltimore County. But more profoundly to me, Jeremiah McNew,

who was one of the founders of Prince George's County.

I'm a direct descendative is he came here as a

covenanter seeking religious freedom, very similar to Roger Williams with

Rhode Island. And he came, and Maryland was a place

right here in this county that was established for freedom

for covenors who were fleeing from oppression from the old world.

And so it's with honor on the fourth of July,

I remember the legacy of my family. The two hundredth

and fiftieth anniversary of the United States of America. A

song is going viral. The song is entitled the United

Saints of America. Here is a portion of the lyrics.

I dare you to find me a soldier more brave

than the ones you salute stars and stripes every day.

We are a military family, and I honor those who

stand for freedom in our country and the world by

fighting terrorism. I honor my own son. You can say

what you want, you can throw stones, but on her

worst days, it's still home, sweet home. It's hard to explain,

but somehow it works. A collection of sinners and the

world's hardest workers. You can't steal the idea that puts

its roots deep down in dust and blood. We might

be a little bit broken, but we're the United Saints

of America, and I want to dwell on that concept

United Saints of America. This song, among many other things

in our culture, represents a transition. We have experienced in

American culture, a secularization of the country over many years.

And we see in real time our country experiencing any

places religious revivals, young people in colleges returning to Christ.

We see a sense that our nation needs to return

to God. And that's a good thing, but there is

an inherent danger when the state and the church join hands,

because history has proven the Church is never blessed by

that union. It is corrupted by that union. In fact,

it corrupts the state as well, and we have a

thousand years of bad history to demonstrate in the Middle Ages.

The United States of America is quickly becoming the United

States of America, while the law of God is trampled

on in our country. The Religious Liberty Commission just issued

a document calling for a bridge between church and state,

not a wall, a bridge between church and state to

create a collaborative relationship to heal the chasm in America

between the church and state. In some ways, I agree

with that it'd be great for kids to be able

to pray in schools and not say you can't pray.

They should have freedom to pray. But it's another thing

when you tell them how to pray. See, it's one

thing to have freedom, it's another thing to be an

advocate of your version of what the prayer ought to be.

The Book of Relation clearly teaches that the United States

of America appears in Bible prophecy, in the Mark of

the Beast struggle just before Jesus returns. For some of you,

that may come as news, But America is in Bible prophecy.

We are living today as I demonstrated my sermon last

week and Daniel eleven forty and Revelation thirteen, verse eleven.

Let me tell you something about the Mark of the

beasts sermons. Whenever I preach on the Mark of the Beast,

we get crazy. Things happen with the audio, things happen

with surrounding systems. And that's happening right now. Do you

know that because we're getting buzzes in the system, we

can't explain. So let's bow our heads and pray before

we continue. Father, it is important for this message to

be heard, so I ask you to give us clarity

to keep the forces away that would mess with the

mic and with its wired system. So we don't have

buzzes going on. And Father, if there are buzzes and

we don't want them, we're going to talk over them

in Jesus' name. Amen. So we're living according to eleven

forty at the time of the end. Since the year

seventeen ninety eight, Western civilization shifted to what the Bible

calls the time of the end, we are living just

before the Mark of the Beast test and Revelation eleven thirteen. Sadly,

there are many Christians today, believers who failed to study

the most important Bible prophecy of Revelation thirteen. Most Christians

have no clue. It's say, the mark of the Beast

test is introduced by this verse in Revelation twelve seventeen.

Take your bibles in turn with me. There and the

dragon was wroth with the woman and went off to

make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep

the commandments of God and have the testament of Jesus Christ.

Now based on that verse, who is Satan angry with

at the time of the end? Well, he's angry with

the sermon today too. He's angry with the church that

keeps the commandments of God, but not a legalistic church

that keeps the commandments of God and does what has

the testimony of Jesus, gospel believing commandment keeping people. Satan

hates them wherever they're at in the world. The mark

of the beast struggle Revelation thirteen immediately follows Revelation twelve,

seventeen and Revelation thirteen. There are two beast kingdoms at

the time of the end that will work together under

the leadership of Satan to person the people of God.

In the Book of Revelation, the Sea Beast is the

Antichrist world kingdom beast order of Rome that functions as

a counterfeit of Jesus Christ, the true Son of God. Now,

in the Middle Ages, the Protestant Reformers correctly understood that

the Beast of Revelation thirteen is the same as the

Fourth Beast and the Little Horn of Dan seven. And

they understood in the Middle Ages that this Antichrist power

was opposing the Gospel, the Bible. It was opposing the

law of God, and they stood against it. Most Christians

today do not even read the prophecies the way the

reformers did. They have abandoned it for future notions of

some damien like Antichrist power that appears. But in Bible prophecy,

this sea beast, a world kingdom order, is the Antichrist.

And this beast has a life like Jesus had a life.

It has a period of time as a counterfeit ministry,

and then it comes down like Jesus did, and then

it gets resurrected like Jesus did the Antichrist sea beasts.

The Roman Church state power of the Middle Ages was

built upon the past pagan beliefs and philosophies of the

four world kingdoms of Daniel seven. Now is it a

good thing that the Church gets along with the world. Yes? No,

what it's not? Is it the sea beast? The Revelation

thirteen is the Antichrist beast? Why because it Satan gives

authority of this beast, just like God gave authority to Christ.

This beast has a counterfeit ministry of three and a

half prophetic years like Christ did for three and a

half literal years. It gets a deadly wound like Jesus

did on the cross, and then it comes back from

the dead as Jesus was resurrected on Sunday. Revelation thirteen,

Verse one. This beast, this Christian religio political power of

the Middle Ages. This power is built upon the Pagan

kingdom's world empires that came before it. Verse one. On

the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast

rising up out of the sea, coming to life, having

seven heads, ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns,

and on his head's a blasphemous name. Now it's in contrast,

there's a second beast in Revelation thirteen. It's called the

Earth Beast. It has no crowns at all on its heads.

What are crowns used for? Help me with this kingdoms monarchies.

So the sea beast has ten monarchies, representing the kingdoms

of the Middle Ages, when kings ruled on thrones. Since

World War One, that's gone. But this new Earth beast

that arises at the time of the end doesn't have

crowns on its heads, because this Earth Beast is not

a monarchical system. It's a different kind of kingdom. Revelation thirteen,

two and three. Look at the sea beasts, the first beast.

Now the beast which I saw, was like a leopard.

His feet were like the feet of a bear. His

mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The dragon

gravy is power, his throne and great authority. Now, so

this sea beast, Antichrist beast, is a direct product of

the work of Satan in human history. The Antichrist beast

from the sea is a composite of Daniel chapter seven.

Remember the four beasts of Daniel seven. Let's look at

them very briefly. The lion in Daniel seven represented the

Babylonian Empire. Second beast from Daniel seven, the bear with

three ribs Meto Persia conquered Babylon, Egypt, and Lydia. Three

kingdoms gobbled up. Next slide, Greece divide into four pieces,

four wings, four heads, the Greek Empire, followed by the

mighty Empire of Rome, symbolized by this dragon like beast

with ten horns. Rome transitioned to the divided Europe, representing

about ten nations and had iron claws and bronze teeth

and iron teeth and bronze claws, presenting the Greco Roman

Empire composite. Now the reformers understood everything I just shared

with you today. Bible teachers don't even interact with the

great Bible students of the past. In the Reformation, and

out of that fourth Beast Rome, there arose a little

horn power, that is the anti Christ power and extension

of the Fourth Beast. It looks like the Son of

Man in Dale seven, but it's not the son of Man.

His eyes and a mouth, but it's not Jesus' eyes

and mouth. It looks it looks like the son of Man,

but it has usurped authority from Christ in the Middle Ages.

And so the reformers rightly understood that that little horn

power that came to power in the spring of five

thirty eight in the fusion of Church and state, when

the city of Rome, the capital of Rome of the Emperors,

was given to the Church. It ended exactly twelve hundred

and sixty years to the month in the year seventeen

ninety eight, when that power was taken out by the

French Revolution, and the Reformers anticipated the collapse of the

medieval church state system because they were persecuted by it.

The Huguenots wrote on the very things that I am

sharing with you Calvid and others. Luther identified the Harlot

and the beast power composite as the persecuting power of

the Middle Ages. There is nothing new in my sermon today,

and yet oddly new to those who don't study the Bible.

The beast Revelation thirteen is governed by one head that

was a Christian head that was wounded in Revelation thirteen three,

just like Christ died on the cross. It is Antichrist.

The Roman papacy, led by a man, the Pope of Rome,

became the antichrist fake Christian power of the Middle Ages.

A compromised Christianity is never a true Christianity. Daniel seven

twenty five says that it would persecute the saints of

the most high friends. Fifty to two hundred million people

died at the hands of a religio political fusion Middle Ages,

the Roman papacy. Damn seven twenty five says he would

think to change times in law. In fact, Johannak the

Great Council the Great Debate at Leipsic confronted Martha and

Luther on his belief that somehow soloscriptura took over the

authority of the Church, and he says, Luther, you're inconsistent

you don't believe in the Bible and the Bible only.

He said, what do you mean? He says, you show

by your feality to Rome, because you do not keep

the seventh day Sabbath as Saturday, as the New Testament enjoins.

You agree with the Council of Ladesia, and when it's

the Church, by its own authority, changed the Law of

God the Fourth Commandment from Saturday to Sunday. And thus

you affirm that you don't believe in solo scriptura, you

believe in the authority of the Church. Luther was speechless.

He could not answer the great theologian. It took him

time to think through that, and the truth of that

challenge worked its way into the Reformation, into the Second

Great Awakening, unfinished business with the Law of God the

reformers had. Now the earth beast has no crowns. As

I said, it represents a different kind of kingdom, the

antichrist kingdom, though of Middle Ages. The power operated for

forty two prophetic months in Revelation thirteen five. Now in

Bible prophecy, a month is thirty days twenty nine point

five six days is a lunar month, but it's an

average of that so forty two times thirty. How many

days do the math with me? Twelve hundred and sixty days?

And the Church and the scriptures that we have seen

went into the wilderness during the Middle Ages for twelve

or sixty days. I went to Italy, Tora Polichi, Italy,

and I went right to the spot where the Waldensians

had created College of the Barbs to give pieces of

this to the peoples of Europe. They would send missionaries

who'd memorize large portions of the Testament out to their deaths.

They had a two year lifespan before they were captured, tormented,

pulled apart, died at the stake, and other things. These

wonderful Christians. I went to the cliff where the inquisitors

and the crusaders threw children mothers off the cliff because

they adhered to the Word of God in the Bible.

And these Sabbatarian Christians that lived that close to Rome,

where the forerunners of the Reformation. John Milton wrote a

magnificent poem about their destruction and death as they stood

for Christ when Europe went wrong. And it was a

holy moment for me to be there as I stood

where these dear people died. I went into the cave

where they were captured. In that little cave, they would

worship the Lord, and they would repeat the scriptures until

they were thrown to their desks. Friends, we had I

have freedom today because people of conscience gave their life

so we can have the Bible. Jesus' true ministry was

forty two months. It was three and a half years,

forty two times thirty divided by thirty. Excuse me, it's

three and a half. The Antichrist beast power forty two months,

the Antichrist horn of Daniel seven three and a half

prophetic years. It is no missing it. This kingdom power

of the Middle Ages reversed the ministry of Jesus, the

victory of the Cross, the scriptures, and damaged the Christian

Church for over a millennium. The Antichrist false Christian beast

kingdom tore down what Jesus built up. Revelation in thirteen

verse four, it says, so they worshiped the dragon, who

gave authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying,

who is like this sea beast? The beast who is

able to make war with him? And he was given

a mouth speaking great things in blasphemes, and he was

given authority to continue for forty two months. And then

he opened his mouth and blast against God to blasphem

his name, his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

Now God's name is God's law in Scripture Psalms of

one hundred and nineteen fifty five, when you meditate on

God's name, you keep his law. They are the same thing.

Why God's name yahweh, I am who I am is

what the Ten Commandments is about. I am the Lord

your God who. But instead of saying I am, it's

who God is. It's what God is like. The Ten

Commandments is a transcript of the eternal Covenant of God,

which is his name, which is his nature. God is love,

his law. His nature is love. It has ever been,

it will ever be. And so when God spoke at Sinai,

he revealed his name, and that law went on the

forehead of people. The name of God goes on her forehead.

So this power of blasphemed God's name, his law, his tabernacle,

those who dwell in heaven. It was granted him to

ma war with the saints fifty to two hundred million

people died in its hands to overcome them, and authority

was given him over every tribe, tongue in nation. Now

that means it had universal religious authority in the Middle Ages,

and the word Catholic means universal. Only one power fulfills

Bible prophecy in this way, forty two months is three

and a half years before Christ was crucified, and before

he died on the cross. Christ taught the truth in

his forty two months or three and a half year

earthly ministry. The sea Beast, as the antichrist power of

the Middle Ages, blasphemed God's name, tore down his law,

attacked the Bible, the Gospel. Forty two months three and

a half years. The reformers understood everything I just shared

with you. Christ healed God's people and restored them to God.

The sea beast, power of Rome, made war on God's

people the dragon, and they made war on the Church.

God gave authority to Jesus to raise up the Church.

The dragon gave authority for the beast to undo what

Jesus did. Christ had a forty two month ministry and

then he died, and then his deadly wound was suddenly

healed in his resurrection from the dead. By the way,

what day was Jesus resurrected on Sunday morning? Like Jesus,

the Antichrist sea Beast has a deadly wound that will

be healed in its journey as Antichrist on Sunday. In

the future mark of the beast test that is coming

on the whole world. Christ rose from the dead on

Sunday to lead his people back to God. The sea

Beast will rise from the dead in exactly the same

way to deceive the Christian world, to leave unbelieving, secular

and pagan world to destruction. Revelation seventeen, verse eleven. And

the beast that was and is not is himself an eighth. Now,

Jesus' name in Greek has a numerical gomatri, a value

of eight eight eight. If I are to ask you

next week, what is Jesus' number, what would you say?

Eighty eight? And it's because it represents new beginnings as Antichrist.

This beast tries to be an eighth, but he's of

the seven. He goes to perdition. So how many of

you want to hang around with the beast? Power you

want to go to destruction. No hands down. Okay, good now.

The sea Beast will lead many people destruction because it's

the antichrist kingdom. The Antichrist is not a single man.

That's a false view of prophecy. The Antichrist is a

world kingdom order that stands for principles contrary to the Bible,

contrary to the law of God, contry of the Gospel,

and it should be plainly stated in the Book of Revelation.

The Earth Beast that follows at the time of the

end follows the Sea Beast functions in time, not immediately,

but in time as a counterfeit Holy spirit, false prophet

for the Sea Beast of Rome, that is Antichrist that

is resurrected at the time of the end. The false

prophet Earth Beast, it's identified as the false prophet in

relation Night, is a lamb like beast that brings fire

down from Heaven. It brings a false, counterfeit spirit and

to the image of the sea Beast, so that the

image would speak in time to make laws to kill

God's people who refuse the mark of the beast. It

starts out lamb like Christian like, it ends up dragon like.

The Earth beast, that is, the lamb like beast acts

like Elijah, the prophet who brought fire down from heaven.

Why did he bring fire down from heaven? Do you

remember the story? He brought it down from heaven to

bring the people back to God. So the lamb like

beasts will be like an Elijah to bring people back

to God. But it doesn't bring people back to God.

It brings it back to Rome. The earth beast builds

an image to the sea beast, forcing the world to

worship the sea beasts of Rome. To give feality to Rome.

The earth beast institutes the mark of the beast by law.

According the book Revelation, the mark of the beast starts

in the realm of the lamb like earth beast. The

earth beast is lamb like because it starts out as

a Christian lamb like kingdom. Now, this is where the

sixteen nineteen movement is nonsense. Did you hear me? Let

me be very frank with you. The Bible does not

teach that America was evil from its inception. Now we

had slavery as evil, I hate it, okay, But the

United States was not created in sixteen nineteen. This constitution

was formed. We have seventeen seventy six, the Declaration of Independence,

we have the Constitution follows. We have a great civil

war in which that constitution was put to the test,

and by virtue of our Christian constitution, Abraham Lincoln, who

lost his life really as a martyr for that constitution,

proclaimed there's no difference in God's eyes between an African

American or an Angle or anybody. That God is in

the freedom business. And he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, one

of the greatest documents signed in human history, which was

a political tool, yes, but to begin the unraveling of slavery,

which finally ended up to where we are so blessed

by this continent, not just being birthed by Anglos from Europe,

but from the great continent of Africa, and where Martin

Luther King's junior's dream can be realized that an African

American little boy or a girl can walk hand in

hand in this free country and we can put racism

behind us all together. But don't be deceived by those

voices that would tell you that somehow this country was

evil from its inception. Our country is defined by scripture

and the spirit of prophecy, as a Christian noble country

in its rise to power, and we celebrate those things.

We should never denigrate them in our culture. And so

I'm being forthright here. Whenever we hear the voices of

Marxism and communism and our culture that would denigrate our history,

we need to be true to it. Now. There are

things that happened country. They're bad. They ruling on homosexual

marriage by the US Supreme Court is a dragon like thing.

That these aren't good. But one day, how many nations

will be in complete surrendered to Jesus Christ at the

time of the end. None America is not going to heaven,

Europe's not going to heaven. All the nations of the

world come under Satanic power at the time of the end.

So we shouldn't be deceived. But let's not deny the

lamb like phase of our country's history and origin. I

would recommend two chapters for you to read in the

book The Great Controversy you all have, that the Pilgrim Fathers,

because it agrees with what I just told you, and

it lays it out in a beautiful framework, so we

don't get to the right or to the left in

extreme views. Beautiful exposition of the history of this country,

people of faith coming so that they could secure freedom

of conscience to worship God with the Bible. That's our heritage. Now,

they're ugly things in our past too, but the Bible

use that first phase as a lamb like phase of

American history. I had to say that, I guess because

I wanted to because in the Bible, Yeah, that's cool,

all right, Just gotta find my place here now. The

revelation of the earth Beast that fallows the sea Beast

functions as a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit false prophet.

Why I've given some reasons. The lamb like earth beasts

becomes Satanic in time, not immediately when it finally speaks

as a dragon. So it's wrong to write off its

history the way some do today. And it's very disturbing

to hear that the lamb like earth Beast is a

false prophet for the Roman Catholic Sea Beast. In time,

a church state fusion occurs. In time, the earth Beast

acts like John the Baptist, who Jesus called the new Elijah,

who was the forerunner of Jesus, as his prophet and

his special message to prepare the way. But in this sense,

the lamb like beast doesn't prepare the way for Jesus.

The lamb like prepared beast prepares the way for Rome.

The sea beast, the true Holy Spirit comes to represent

the true Jesus Christ, so we can be saved and

healed John fourteen twenty six. But the helper, the Holy Spirit,

whom the Father will send in what now God's name,

is God's law in scripture, it's his character. The Holy

Spirit never moves on anybody to set aside the constitution

of the universe, the ten Commandment law of God. He

will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance

all that I have said to you. Both the sea

beast and the lamb like earth beast will be in

power at the second Coming, and they will both be

destroyed by Christ's second coming Revelation nineteen, verse twenty. Then

the beast was captured and with him the false prophet,

who work signs in his presence, by which he deceived

those who received the mark of the Beast and those

who worshiped the image. These two were cast alive into

the lake of fire. Burning was sulfur. The Holy Spirit

impic relations called seven eyes seven torches. The true fire

of God is the Holy Spirit. The eyes of God

that see everywhere, seven means everywhere, it's the Holy Spirit.

And yet this lamb like beast will in time look

like it's bringing fire down from heaven, look like it's

the Holy Spirit movement. But according to scripture, it'll eventually

end up in the Lake of Fire with the medieval beast.

So both the sea beast and the lamb like for

earth beast will be in power when Jesus comes back. Now,

this Christian lamb like earth beast, the Bible is very

clear verse eleven, will eventually speak as a dragon. Then

I saw another beast coming up out of the earth.

That means the new world. Not the sea representing the

nations where that old beast was at, but a new world.

And we know the earth came to the help of

the Christian Church at the end of the twelve and

sixty years. It absorbed the waters of the dragon that

would flutter away. People came to a marria for freedom

that came to America because of a Christian conscience. And

so don't tell me America is an evil country in

its origin. The Bible doesn't teach this I saw a

beast coming up out of the earth. He had two

horns like a lamb, but in time he spoke like

a dragon. Our country transitions in time according to Bible prophecy.

In contrast to the sea beasts that gave rise the

sea that gave rise to the sea beasts, the New World,

the Earth gives rise to this Christian lamb like beast

with no crowns, no monarchies on its horns. This new

lamb like beast that rises out of the Earth near

the end of the twelve and sixty years around the

year seventeen ninety eight, identified by the Reformers, the Earth

Beast arises in the New World as a lamb like

Christian power found on the Christian principles of religious liberty

and freedom of conscience. We fought for twelve years in

this church for the freedom of the Constitution so we

could build a church. We are a test of the

integrity of that constitution, no missing it. The lamb like

earth beast is the United States of America. The United

States of America started out as lamb like Christian and

its rise to power, as evidenced by its declaration of independence.

It's Christian Constitution documents that I am proud of. America's

greatness is rooted in its profound Christian documents that protect

the freedom of conscience and faith. That in time brought

the end of slavery was the conscience of the Constitution

that ended slavery through a great civil war in this country. However,

the earth beast that is the United States of America

will eventually speak out as a dragon to persecute. Now.

I say that with sadness because I love my country.

I'm patriotic for the good that my country offers, as

you should be patriotic if you come from a country

that is not here. God loves all nations. But it

saddens me to know that one day the great conflict

between good and evil will come here. This will be

the theater of the mark of the beast. The earth

beast looks like a lamb, but it speaks like the

dragon at the time of the end. How does the

dragon speak. There's only one place in the Book of

Relation where the dragon speaks. Turn to Relation twelve, verse

ten eleven. Here's how it speaks, her loud voice in heaven,

saying now salvation and strength and the Kingdom of our

God and the power of His Christ have come. That's

the cross of Christ. When Christ won the universe for

the accuser of our brethren who've been in the Divine Council,

according the Book of Job, who accuses them before our

God day and night has been cast down. The universe

claimed us as their brethren because of the Cross of Christ.

But notice how the dragon speaks. It says he's the

accuser of the what he realizes if you follow God's law,

if you're true to the Bible, you have Christian Gospel

love in your heart, you are a brother and sister

to angels. We are to declaired brethren of the Heavenly Jerusalem.

Here let's look back at what the lamb like beast

does in Revelation thirteen. The Book of Revelation clearly teaches

that the earth beast that is America will eventually speak

like a dragon. The Bible clearly teaches that at the

time of the end, religious persecution is coming to the

United States of America Revelation thirteen, verse twelve. And he

the lamb like beast, exercises all the authority of the

first Beast in its presence, a global superpower that extends

the reach of religion. That's what happened in the Ages.

That's what happens with the Lamb like Beast. It causes

the earth and those who dwell in it to worship

the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. It doesn't

end up being so much a Christian revival in America,

but a revival that brings the church back under the

influence of Rome. The dragon phase of the lamb like

earth Beast is outline clearly Revelation thirteen thirteen to fifteen.

Let's just read it together. He performed signs so that

he even makes fire come down from Heaven on the earth,

earth and the side of men, like Elijah. Verse fourteen.

He deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs,

which he was granted to do in the sight of

the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to

make an image to the beast who was wounded by

the sword and live. Verse fifteen. He was granted power

to give breath. That means the Greek is spirit numah

to the image of the beast, that the image of

the beast should should both speak and its cause, as

many would not worship the image of the beast. What

does it say to be killed Christ before him great

signs that pointed men and women to God. To Christ,

ever kill people or force them to worship in His way? Yes?

Or no? Never did? The lamb like beast will eventually

work signs that point men and women to the sea

Beast of Rome and the Dragon its father. The earth

Beast of Christian America will be kind of like Jesus.

Prophet John the Baptist, but in the negative way. In

the future. Revelation nineteen twenty calls this lamb like beast

that works signs the false prophet. In this context, the

false prophet Earth Beast of America acts like the new Elijah.

Elijah brought fire down from heaven to save the nation,

to bring the people of God back to God. Elijah

built an altar with twelve stones to create the United

Saints of Israel under Yahweh. To unite the nation. The

lamblike earth beast brings fire down from heaven like Elijah did,

to unite this country with religion. Now, I want to

be united, but I don't want to force someone to

worship my way. You hear me. Fire came also down

from Heaven at Pentecost with tongues of fire. The Charismatic movement,

the modern Charismatic movement is an American movement. The Charismatic

tongue speaking movement, born in America, claims to bring fire

down from heaven. It's well documented to bring our nation

back to God. Now, I've been in gatherings where this occurs.

Very little about Jesus, all about the Holy Spirit. The

Holy Spirit doesn't talk about the Holy Spirit. The Holy

Spirit talks about Jesus. The lamb like beast will forced

the breaking of the Ten Commandments by leading people to

worship the First Beast and to build an image to

the Roman Sea Beast newly resurrected on Sunday. They will

violate God's name, his law, and the Gospel in the

mark of the Beast issue, and people will die because

of how severe it is. Now, there is a Christian tradition.

I'm gonna be very frank about what it is. It's

the It came from John Calvin, but it wasn't John

Calvin so much. Federal theology Covenant theology, which talks a

lot about the Everlasting Covenant, but friends the Everlasting Covenant

is God's name, which is his ten Commandment law written out.

So if you really want to be obedient to the Covenant,

you need to honor the Ten Commandments as it is

now on Dane seven twenty three. A beast is a

world kingdom power. When you build an image to a

world kingdom power, you change your laws the character of

your nation to match the world kingdom power. You build

an image too, which means Protestant America lamb like tolerant

Christian constitution morphs into a new reality just before the

coming of Christ, and this lamblike earth beast of America

will repudiate every principle of its Christian constitution to follow

the sea Beast of Rome and to speak as a

dragon newly resurrected Sunday's the Resurrection Day at the time

of the End. Now the earth beast will construct an

oppressive church state system like Rome did. How do we

know that? It says it commands people to worship, it

makes people worship. That's not the Holy Spirit doing this.

In verse fifteen, the text says the lamb like earthbeast

gives breadth to the image of the being so that

it should even speak. Now the Greek word for breath

is numa. We got a word pneumatic drill from it,

but it's just the Greek word for spirit. Spirit. False

spiritual activity forces bad ideas and actions. The text indicates

a false Holy Spirit movement in the United States of

America that will speak new laws into existence to persecute America.

Will not become the United Saints of America. It will

be the United under the Dragon and the Beast, according

to Bible prophecy. And I say that with sadness, I

would love for my country, this wonderful country, and I

believe it's the gem of the world to stay that

way all the way to the end. But the Bible

doesn't teach that America will not become the United Saints

of America. It will become something quite different. Just like

God breathed into the Man the breath of life, this

lamblike earth beast of America will breathe into the image

of the sea beast, a new political order so it

can speak and make laws. You speak with your tongue,

it will be a tongue speaking movement. Now, Frogs are

used to illustrate this on the grivelation. Frogs are known

by their long tongue, by their jumping up and down,

their rapidity of noises, and that is a direct symbol

of the modern chrismatic movement in Bible prophecy. That means

there will be a false Holy Spirit movement that moves

on the masses, that change the laws of the United

States of America, so Satan can persecute true believers who

keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus.

I'm not a fan of the Christian rock movement. Can

I just say that forthrightly? Because I'm not a fan

of music that prompts people to do the modern chrismatic

thing of speaking in tongues, which is not the gift

of the Bible outlines. It's not French and German and Spanish.

It's gibberish, crazy stuff, no interpretation, confusion, jumping up and down,

irreverence in the worship of God. I'm not a fan

of that. God brings people to their knees to a

ba to hear the Gospel, to surrender the Cross of Christ.

That stuff gets in the way. And so modern Christian

rock music not time make contemporary because we're all contemporary.

We all have to we have to figure out a

way to communicate in our generation. That's fine. But music

that mimics the world with smoke going up in the background.

You know this and that I'm not a fan of that.

Wherever it appears in our church or another church, you'll

find me on the other side of it. I want

to see reverence, love for God, deep spiritual commitment based

on the Bible. The text indicates a false Holy Spirit

movement in the United States of America. A nation speaks

by the laws it makes. The Earth Beast will cause

the image to speak. The lamb like earth Beast of

America will make laws and Revelation thirteen to enforce the

mark of the Beast to favor a false Holy Spirit

revival in Christian America, to bring the nation back to

God as the United States of America. But friends, it

won't work that way. There's no example in history when

the Church gained control of the state that it didn't

somehow persecute those that differed with it. Eventually, there will

be blood on the stars and stripes as our nation

is corrupted by the worship of the Image of the

Sea Beast. That is, the Antichrist. Kingdom of Rome reborn

at the time of the end Revelation thirteen fifteen. It

causes as many as would not worship the image of

the beast. And what does it say, I mean, let's

be forthright to be killed. No man or woman has

a right to compel you to bow down to anything

but God in your life. So I don't like about

this social justice movement that we had. You know that

people meet people in the streets and say, bow down

to me. What right does a person have that to

tell a person that. Nor does a religious person have

a right to tell you how to worship the left

or the right. Neither of them have a right to

do that. We must give our law to Jesus. So

in any oppressive force from communism would have you do

certain things, forget it. Are any oppressive force to the right,

it has no right to do it. Our conscience is

subject to Jesus and to the word of God, God's

loyalty test in the Bible. This may come as a

surprise to you. His mark of authority is the seventh

day Sabbath. Why the Sabbath is the one commandment in

the Ten Commandments that preserves the knowledge of God the

Creator and God the Savior. And thus it is the

sign that we are free in God, a relationship with God.

We have been set free. Both versions of the Ten

Commandments Exos twenty Creation Dude Army five Redemption from Egypt

summarizes the character of Yahweh God, and the Bible teaches

it is the sign and seal of the eternal Covenant,

which is God's name as law. Within the law is

the one part that God says, remember because when you

remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, you are

remembering God who he is and who he wants to be.

And some people say, well, that's a relic of the past,

it's just a Jewish thing. Jesus said, the Son of

Man is Lord of the Sabbath. See the Lord your

God in the fourth Commandment is Jesus. Some anti Trinitarians

will say, oh, Jesus can't be God. You realize the

Sabbath is proved you're wrong, because it is the Sabbath

of the Son of Man, and it's the Sabbath of

the Lord your God. He has divine credentials of the Creator,

the one who made us, saved us. The Sabbath bears

witness of that Ezekiel twenty twelve. I gave them my

sabbath to be a what now, look now, the beast

power has a sign, a mark, but it's not this

one between them and me that they might know. Now,

what's the purpose of the sabbath that I am? What

the Lord? Now? That's the covenant name Yahweh, I am

who I am, which the Ten Commandments reveals who sanctifies them,

that you can know me for who I am, worship

me on my terms. Nebukan has a built of golden

image that looked like himself a man. He made everyone

bow down to that golden image as a loyal to

test himself. God is the gold is the color of

the sun. The image was on the plane of dura,

which itymologically means duration. It still carries through to our

time and eternal kingdom of the Sun. The image was

made of gold. It was meant for babbling to never end.

The image was sixty by six cubans and dimensions just

siah of six six six. The Hebrew young men stood tall.

They would not bow down to a sixty by six

cuban image that looked like the sun. They were thrown

into the fiery furnace. And guess who was right there

in the middle of the fire. Jesus was now because

as I see one like the Son of God in

the midst of the fire. And when they came out

from the fire, the only thing that was burned was

the ropes that were bound them. Friends, God's people must

never be down to an image of the sun, to

the breaking of God's law. Now, the mark of the

Beast istion in relation thirteen involves the first four commandments

of God. All right. The first commandment says, you shall

have no other gods before you. So how do they

do that? They break it by worshiping the beast and

the dragon. Number one. Number two says you shall not

make yourself any graving images. How do they break that?

They build an image to the beast. Third commandment, you

shall not take the name of the Lord of God

in vain. How do they break that? The name of

the beast, which is six sixty six. And the fourth commandment,

I gave them my sabbath to be a sign remember

the seventh day. The mark of the Beast is a

direct attack on the fourth commandment. In Bible prophecy, God's law,

the fourth commandment the seal within his law becomes the

issue in the mark of the Beast test Revelation thirteen.

No excuse me for sixteen. He causes all both small

and great, rich and poor, to receive and mark. Where

what does it say we help me with the Bible?

Here the right hand or where else? Now? What goes

in the hand of the forehead. In the book of Deuteronomy,

you remember here Israel, the Lord, our God is one.

You shall love the Lord your God with how much

all your heart, and all your soul, and all your might.

And he says in these words, meaning the ten commandments

of chapter five shall be as frontlets between your eyes,

on your forehead, and in your hand. God's law goes

in the fore in the hand, the mark of the

beast goes where God's law goes. The lamb like beast

was born out of the Christian migrations to North America,

in which persecuted church found a place for religious freedom

and what would become the United States of America. The

Bible teaches us that one day there will be blood

on the stars and stripes in this glorious country. People

will die here. The mark of the Beast will go

on the forehead in the hand here and horrible thing

will happen Revelation thirteen eighteen. Here's wisdom. Let him onund

has understanding, calculate the number of the beast or wrecking it,

for it is the number of a man. And what's

his number? What does it say? Sixty sixty six? Okay,

Now we could come up with all kinds of crazy

ideas on how to figure this out. We could say,

well we go to the pope's miter vicarious Philly day

is actually sixty sixty six in Latin. Well, that's not

how you study the Bible. That's interesting. The spirit of prophecy,

it's never referred to. We got to stick with the

Bible to understand this. Now, the sea beast, the word

beast theyon in Greek when you apply Hebrew gomatria principles,

which means where a letter equals a number, it's sixty

sixty six. The beast is six sixty six. We do

not go looking for it. Jesus' name in Greek is

eight eight eight. Next light eight eight eight. The sea

beast is sixty sixty six. Though, so why this what

day was man made? On? Help me with this six

day and How many sixes do we have? There? Come on?

Six six six? How many count them? Three sixty sixty

six is simply a number says man is playing God.

Man is trying to be God. Man is trying to

take the place of the Holy Trinity. There is a

number for God, the Father, God the Son, and God

the Holy Spirit. That's three six is the number of man.

The mark of the beast is man taking over God's law,

taking over God's word. There's only one name for a

man in the Bible directly associated with the number six

sixty six, only one. It is a In the Greek

Old Testament of the second century sixt' sixty six has

its perfect grammatical match with casein needs only one place.

It's Ezra two thirteen. It's a verse that we might

easily look over. And this what does it say here?

The sons of at Anekam? How does it read six

six six? Now, why is that man's name so important? Here? Well,

here's where he Hebrew helps And I'm glad the God

sent me to the seminary so I could learn Bible Hebrew.

It's the sentence. The name Adanikum illuminates what sixty six means.

Adnekum in Hebrew means my Lord has risen six x' six.

Now what day did Jesus rise on Sunday? Okay? Now

the beast has a life. Then it has a counterfeit

ministry of three and a half prophetic years forty two months,

twelve and sixty days were one day is a year

twelveun sixty years. And then the beast has a deadly

wound in the French Revolution when birth the A takes

Biaus the sixth captive, ending the Holy Roman Empire fusion

in the Middle Ages. But then the Bible says, it's

the time which the beast is not. Rome is not.

But at the very end when America experiences this counterfeit revival,

influenced by the charismatic modern movement, that this beast comes

to global prominence and fusion occurs in the whole world

to persecute, and we lead the way, we lead the way.

My Lord has risen. So for the sea beast to

be Antichrist, he must come back from the dead. His

deadly womb must be healed in some way. On Sunday,

sea Beast of Rome is the Antichrist beast because the

sea Beast comes back from the dead on Sunday, just

like Jesus did on Sunday, that golden sunlike image sixty

by six they worship to build an image to the beast.

Like Jesus, the Sea Beast of Rome lived, and then

it had an awful Antichrist ministry. The French Revolution took

it out. Its coming back. Friends, when the Roman Sea

Beast comes back to life at the time of the

end in a global religio political fusion, its mortal womb

will be healed, just like Jesus was healed in the

Resurrection on Sunday. And when the whole world bows down

to worship a sunlike image of the Sea Beast of

Rome to receive the mark of the beast by violating

God's law by following the state instead of the clear

teachings of the Ten Commandments, God's eternal Covenant, the constitution

in the universe had odds with the constitution of the

Image of the Beast. A constitution changed. Friends, It's time

to say no to Rome, No to the Pope, No

to any tongue speaking movement that is disobedient, No to

any Christian worldview that does not stand for the truth

of the Gospel and the Law of God. People often

read Revelation thirteen without reading Revelation fourteen, verse one. How

does the mark of the beasts thing end look? Relation

fourteen one. When the whole world bows down to the

sea beast, there will be a group that does not

from all over the world that I looked and behold

her low on Mount Zion stood the Who who's the hero,

the lamb? That's Jesus? And with him? How many want

to be with Jesus, not with the world, not with tradition,

with the Bible, Jesus with him. A one hundred and

forty one thousand. That's the symbolic number that represents a

covenant keeping people the Israel of God, that is universal

from every nation, kindred, tribe, and tongue. Who had his

name that means his law, just like it goes in

the forehead, in the hand his name and his father's names.

He Christ has the same name as the Father. He's

yeahweh God written on their foreheads. Dear heart, when you

belong to God with his name and his law written

on your forehead, you are not a legalist. You know why?

Because Christ could not change that law for God. So

loved the world that he gave. God could not change

his law. For God's so loved the world that he gave.

That's why his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in

him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God did

not send Jesus with the cross of Calorie to do

away with his law. God sent Jesus the cross of

Calary because the Law of God is Jesus. It is

in him, it is who he is. He cannot alter

its eternal precepts. And we broke it. Every one of

us broke the law of God. And at the cross

of Christ, there's pardon for sin. There's freedom to live

a new life. He puts an end to the old

age of fear. There's liberty. Dear heart, would you blog

to God you follow the Lamb. There will be a

faithful people at the time of the end from all

over the world who keep the commandments of God in

the testimony of Jesus. They will not bound to the

bow down to the golden image of the Sun. They

will follow the Lamb. I'm going to quote a verse

when this ends. In Revelation fourteen twelve, we have the

second coming of Jesus Christ. It says, here are those

who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

That's the description of the people who stand on Mount

Zion with the lamb and dear heart. As you contemplate

my words, I don't want you to take anything I say.

Why don't you take the time to study the Bible

yourself work it out? Because I've presented to you is

really the culmination of what the reformers understood brought into

our time. If we are to be Bible believing Christians,

we must really study the Bible with integrity. And God

bless you in your journey. He loves you, He loves me.

Let's stand and come forward for our closing songs. Stand

with the lamb, Stand with the lamb. Dear Heavenly Father,

I'm grateful you've helped me today. I had vertigo, as

you know, last night, and I didn't even know if

i'd be here this morning. I'm grateful for the word

of God which exalts Jesus Christ, and Jesus who is

the law, that perfect law of love, and the heart

of our Savior. Father, help us as Christian in this

place to test all things by the Bible. And Lord,

popular religion is not always the best religion. Help us

to be faithful. And Lord, keep arrogance out of this place.

What good is it to virtue signal things? We know

if we lose our walk with You by acting better

than somebody else, we're not. We're sinners like everybody else.

So Lord, give us more of the Bible, more truth

as it is in Jesus. And Lord, help us to

fulfill Bible prophecy, to be those who stand with the

Lamba mount Zion, who keep the commandments of God and

the faith of Jesus. Thank you for the faith of

Jesus who got it done in his name. Amen.
