The Beast and the False Prophet

Let's pray, Father, we can be good people and wrong, wrong on

something so basic that it gets in the way of our relationship with You.

And so Lord, help us to get anything out of our mind and heart

that would corrupt our ability to look at the Bible and interpret it correctly,

not just a verse here or there that's hard to understand, but broadly.

So we rightly divide the Word of God. Thank you Father for the reformers

of the sixteenth century who gave us the Bible. The Seventh day Adventist.

We are reformers. We're at the end of the Reformation. We stand on

the solid shoulders of those precious people in the Book of the Great Controversy.

So Father, help us as we interact with the Book Revelation. They got

a lot of it right, but we're further along because we're closer to the

end. Help us to know you with an authentic relationship. In Jesus' name,

Amen, the title of my message this morning is the Dragon, the

Beast and the false prophets coming right out of the Book Revelation. And why

do we study the Book Revelation Because this church was raised up on the wings

of Bible prophecy. To prepare the world for the second coming of Christ.

The only church on the face of planet Earth proclaiming the three Angels messages in

an organized global prophetic voice is the Seventh day Adventist Church. And so it's

in that setting we must attend to the business of God's word. The book

Revelation is about a book. Is a book of symbols. Have you noticed

that? And you read the book, It's got all these symbols, Dragons,

fire, that represents some things on It's a book of symbols which have

literal meaning when they are rightly decoded understood. And but we need God's help,

God's leading, God's Spirit to understand the book Revelation. In the symbolic

outlet of the Book Revelation, truth and error are often portrayed as direct opposites.

What do I mean by this? For instance, the woman in white

in Revelation twelve is the bride and the Church of Christ and also the heavenly

Jerusalem because it's one unit. But in contrast, the harlot who is married

to the beast is the immoral lover of the beast, the exact opposite in

this sense, the woman that is the true mother in Church is the opposite

of the Harlot, who is the false mother Church in Revelation seventeen. So

in this relationship opposites Jesus Christ is the opposite of the Beast. If I

were to ask you next week, based on the book Revelation, you have

Christ. What's the opposite of Christ? At least by claim here, what

is it? The beast Christ is Christ. The beast is danti Christ.

In the book Revelation, the sea of glass is the opposite of you.

Guess what it is? The lake of fire exactly. The Seal of God

is the opposite of the mark of the Beast. The smoke from the bottomless

pit where the devil lives is the opposite of the smoke that is the glory

of God that fills the Temple in Revelation fifteen. I mean the book is

full of opposites, truth and error opposites. Mount Zion is the opposite of

the bottomless pit. The gathering of the one hundred forty thousand of Mount Zion

is the opposite of the Synagogue of Satan gathering with the kings of the Earth,

and the sixth Plague at the Battle of Armageddon, Harmageddon means the mountain

of the assembly of the gathering. The green grass and trees are the opposite

of the wilderness. The sea is the opposite of the land. And there

are more of these opposites. In the book Revelation, God alone is to

be worshiped. How many would you agree? Based on Revelation nineteen ten and

John fell down to worship the Angel. He says, you've not not worshiped

the Angel worshiped God? Only remember that verse. So if you're worshiping somebody,

who are you worshiping? If it's right, come on the worshiping God.

So in the book Revelation, God alone is to be worshiped. And

yet the false kingdoms of the world act like God, as they command worship

in the Middle Ages in the Mark of the Beast tests at the time.

Then so we have God, But what do we have as the opposite of

God? We have kingdoms that command or institute false worship. In the book

Revelation, the godhead is now what is The word god had occurs three times

in the King James version. It represents the Greek word for divinity, God

divinity, so it really means God. But the God had you can't be

in the Godhead unless you share divinity is counterfeited directly. You can write this

in your notes by the Dragon, the Beast and the false prophet. Did

you write that down? I didn't see your pens movie. Let me get

my pen out. Oops, I left my pen back there. Dragon beast,

false prophet is the direct counterfeit of the Godhead. What is this contrast

made in the first place. Here's why, because we all need to have

a relationship with the true God, and you can't get. Just a few

verses in the Book of Revelation, we discover that the true God is Triune.

The Book Revelation teaches that on the at the breyonset, we have the

Father God. In Revelation one, we have the Savior from Sin, who

is Jesus. We have God, the Holy Spirit, who's pictured to seven

torches. Excuse me, We need all of these three heavenly beings to know

the God who is one. Remember the great Shamad in Deuteronomy six. Here,

oh Israel, the Lord, our God is one. The baseline is

this God is one. But we have to let God tell us what it

means. When he says stuff like this in Genesis one six and God said,

let us make man in our image the God who is one and calls

himself and us. And you have to live with that tension, not do

away with one side of it. To be right with the Bible, we

need all three of these heavenly beings introduced in Revelation one to know God who

is one. If you lose any one of these three, you lose the

God who is one. You hear me, I want to prove that we

need all three to know the God who is one. For this reason,

God, the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are

one. Shamah Yisrael and deny Elhinu and deny the God the Lord, our

God is one. There are three distinct persons of the Godhead, as they

share the same nature. I didn't come up with that terminology. It's found

in the spirit of Prophecy. She speaks of the Father and Sons as persons

of the Godhead. She directly calls the Holy Spirit the third person of the

Godhead. She's working off of Matthew twenty eight when she makes those statements.

But that's all from the Bible. There are three distinct persons of the Godhead,

as they have the same nature, the same mind, the same love,

the same purpose and mission to save us from the false Godhead introduced in

the book Relation. So they're one. Satan knows that God is one,

and Satan hates God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy

Spirit. He despises them. That is why there is a counterfeit of all

three persons of the Godhead in the book Revelation, because Satan wants his false

Godhead of three beast kingdoms to take the place of the triune Godhead in your

life. That's what the Book of Revelation is getting at in a broad thematic

scope. It's a fact that we all need to have relationships with God.

How many you want to have a relationship with God? Are you with me?

Do you want to have a limited relationship or a good relationship with God?

I want to have a great relationship with God. To be tack on,

do you want to leave any part of God out of your life?

Yes? Or no? You should hear a large allowed no. Do you

want every part of God in your life? Yes? Or no? Alloud?

Yes? Okay. I like hearing the yeses in the right places and

the nose in the right places. So it's a fact that we all need

to have a relationship with God, who is first our father God. How

many need God to be your father? Are you in that group? Okay?

Who is also a savior from sin? Do you need God to be

your savior? How many of you wants someone other than God saving you?

What does it mean if someone besides God saves you? But God kind of

missed out there? Didn't he unable to follow through? And do you need

a personal God in your life who can be there all the time and inside

of you? How many of you need God to do that? See?

So we need all of God, and we need God all of God,

because all of God meets our needs. We need all three persons of the

God had to know God, who is one in three. In the book

Revelation, God has introduced as three distinct persons at the very beginning of the

book in the greeting that comes from the triune Godhead, that is one God

turned relation one verse four. We will skip the first three verses here.

Go write to the greeting that comes from God, John to the seven churches

which are in Asia. And now he's speaking as a conduit for the greeting

that comes from God, the Godhead, grace to you and peace. Now

Paul would write his letters like this, He's a grace in peace from God,

our Father and Lord Jesus Christ. Now and in the Holy Spirit.

You know, very rarely is there but nonetheless, but here here John is

inclusive of all the Godhead. He starts by first by saying grace to you

and peace from Him. Now is a hymn a person? Yes or no?

Come on this week. You don't have to get a PhD to figure

out that the word him is a what person? All? Right? From

Him who is, who was and is to come? Now? Here's the

second one. And from the seventh spirits? Who Now when you're a who

are you a person? Yeah? That's the language of personhood. Who are

before his throne? Here's the third one. And from Jesus Christ. What's

he called here? Now? It is Jesus Christ a person? Yes or

no? There should be amen's out there. It's Jesus Christ a person.

Amen. Yes. Now it calls him the faithful witness martyr in Greek,

the firstborn from the dead. Now, the word firstborn here isn't applied to

some distant reality and eternity in the past. It's applied directly to the fact

that God resurrected Jesus from the dead, So begottenness and firstborn language is often,

not always, but often applied in the New Testament to the resurrection,

the ex exaltation of Christ. The throneed is Christ of Christ as our Melchzedic

high priest Hebrews one, Hebrew seven, Hebrews five hot spots for this,

and he calls him the ruler over the kings of the earth. So who's

in charge of the world now? According this verse, Jesus is. And

it says to him who loved us? Some translations will say who loves us

in the present and washed us? How many of your Bibles say washed?

I'm interacting with your Bible there, you know, of course, the one

on the screen says that do we have the English Standard version Revised Standard version?

Here it says loosed us in the Revised Standard that's the Bible I use

most often. The Greek word is very close, and there are strong textual

evidences for both. And you know what God intends that both be understood.

The one who loosed us washed us from our sins in his own blood,

and he made us kings and priests to his God and Father. To him

be Glory, Dominion, forever and ever. Amen. That's a greeting from

the Godhead, from the one one who is and is coming, from the

seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus. Now what does this mean?

The first person is the Father. In verse four, the Father is

called here the one who is, who was, and who is to come.

That's another way of saying, I am who I am the Great.

I am God of eternity in the past, the I am God of eternity

in the future, the I am God who is here today, God is

with us in all time. He's defined here as the Ancient of Days in

Dale seven. It's another way of saying God, the Father is eternal,

as I said, in the past, present, future. The second person

here introduced is the Holy Spirit. He said, well, how's that.

He's called the seven spirits before his throne in the book Revelation, he is

the spirit of prophecy. Now, we often think of the spirit of prophecy

is what works in someone's life, as if the person is the spirit of

prophecy. A prophet is only a hunduit for the spirit of prophecy, who

is the Spirit of Prophecy. It's the Holy Spirit. And so this is

the seventh spirits before his throne. Now this is in heaven in the book

Revelation, as I said, he's called the Spirit of Prophecy later on.

Usually, usually the Spirit of prophet is introduced in the Bible as the third

person of the Godhead, like in Matthew twenty eight, Sister White calls him

the Desire of Ages, the third person of the Godhead. Working off of

that order, I want to share a little segment again from Desire of Ages,

page six seventy one. Let me make a little statement about this book.

This book was written after eighteen eighty eight or thereabouts. It is the

outworking of God's leading in our church to understand righteousness by faith. In eighty

eight eight, Elder Wagner recognized, as he was presenting Christ our righteousness,

presenting the Reformation discovery of what Luther and Calvin had taught and people had died

for in the Reformation, that some of the pioneers their view of Christ was

an adequate to get it done at the Cross. And so the Church was

forced into a struggle to understand God more deeply, to understand salvation more deeply.

Does God have a right to lead the remnant church into greater light?

Yes? Or no? See this idea that he doesn't would make us papal

that we it would trap us. In tradition, God is working in every

generation to grow us and to lead us in a greater light, to we

stand in the full light of God's glory at the time of the end.

Now we had godly pioneers that God used to raise up this church, but

they didn't have all the answers. Some of them are reading pork until greater

light came. Some of them were doing a host of things, smoking until

greater light came. And some of them had an inadequate view of God until

greater light came through the testimony of Jesus in this church. Now this po

was written and it was never changed. Sister White stuck with these statements till

the day she died. This is her stuff. Look at page sixty seventy

one. She wrote that sin could be resisted and overcome only through the Mighty

Agency. And then, notice, okay, my screaming out. Yeah.

Notice it says in capital letters, third person of the Godhead. Now,

when you capitalize something. It's because you recognize that someone as a person,

a direct person. You capitalize a person's name, capitalize the third person of

the Godhead, who the language of personhood, who would come with no modified

energy, but in the fullness of divine power. It is the spirit that

makes effectual what has been wrought out by the world's redeemer. It's by the

spirit. It's by the spirit that the heart is made pure. To the

spirit, the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature. I underlined this

part. Christ has given his spear as a divine power to overcome all hereditary,

cultivated tendencies to evil and to impress his own character upon his church.

Now, she says two things in this paragraph, which you're right. She

first calls him the third person of the Godhead. That means that there are

three people and the three persons in the Godhead. That statement alone supports the

scripture revelation one. But she also says, the Holy Spirit is God's power,

is Christ's power, and look forwards in the power of the Spirit that

Jesus goes out to heal. The finger of God is equated with the power

of the Holy Spirit in scripture, and that is connected organically to Jesus Christ.

It's connected organically. He is connected organically to the Father. Matthew twenty

eight, nineteen and twenty. Our baptism of ow should matter in our walk

with Christ. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. Here's the job

description, baptizing them in the names. Did I read that right? Name

singular? One name? But look what follows. One name is one in

the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. They have

one name, teaching them to observe all things that have commanded you, and

along I'm with you always, even to the age. Jesus says when you

bat amen, he says, when you baptize somebody, you need to recognize

that God is one one name, but Father's Son, Holy Spirit. Those

early Christians understood that before the formation of the historical Catholic Church. They knew

that, and we can prove it from history. Matthew twenty eight, nineteen

and twenty. Go therefore and make disciples. How many of you want to

be in the disciple of making business. Can't be the disciple of making business

if you don't care about people coming into relationship with God, the Father,

God, the Son and God, the Holy Spirit in the chiastic structure of

the relation. And by God's grace, I'd worked on that you have the

seven spirits before he has thrown greeting you in Revelation one, but at the

very end of the book chiastically crossmatched, which means the two are the same.

You have the Holy Spirit said, it says the Spirit and the brides

say, come and let him who's thirsty take the water of life without price.

The seven spirits that greets you is the Holy Spirit that also greets you

and calls you to the New Jerusalem at the end of the book. And

so we ask some natural questions here that fill out of that Revelation twenty two

seventeen. Here's the example of this. The Spirit and the bride say,

come. Let him who hears say, come and let him who's thirsty come,

whoever desires them take the water of life freely. I ask you the

question when someone is speaking to you, is that a person or not a

person? If they can speak and talk to you, is that the language

of personhood. See, we don't have to have PhDs to figure out out

the obvious. Here the Holy Spirit speaks. He speaks to every one of

the Seven Churches. He speaks throughout the entire Book of Revelation. The Spirit

of Prophecy is the testimony, the speaking of Jesus Christ speaks through the Spirit.

That's what is being taught in the Book of Relation. Throughout the whole

Book of Relation. The Holy Spirit is a person who speaks to the Seven

Churches as the spirit of Prophecy and the testimony of Jesus. So in this

sense, the Holy Spirit functions as the prophet for the Triune God. The

prophet speaks for God right right, the Holy Spirit is kind of like Aaron,

who was Moses' prophet, and Moses was sent by God like Christ was

sent by God. So we had an illustration the life of Moses, God

Moses, Aaron was they were modeling the godhead. Aaron was the prophet for

Moses. So who is the prophet for Jesus Christ when he has sent it

Aben the Holy Spirit, that's who he sins to speak in his behalf.

So this is the Holy Spirit functions is the prophet for the Trian God of

three persons. Since the Holy Spirit brings the message of Jesus Christ in the

testimony of Jesus that is the spirit of prophecy. Now I'm not in the

fan club of people today who would deny the spirit of prophecy. When God

moves on a person legitimately to be a prophet, that gift is beyond smart.

It coordinates the life of the prophet with those around them to produce material

that I've said is chastic that is embedded with the divine mind. And when

people go around saying, well, I'm a prophet, the Lord gave me

this word, and they're not, that's a bad thing to say. The

prophetic gift is special. So the Holy Spirit functions is the prophet for the

Trian God within the godhead of three persons. Since the Holy Spirit brings the

message of Jesus Christ and the testimony of Jesus, that is the spirit of

prophecy. Now think about it. Christ came to reveal the Father. Right.

If Christ is not perfectly a representation of the he could not reveal him.

Am I right, and Christ claims that he is in John five and

John fourteen. The Holy Spirit cannot reveal Jesus unless he is exactly the same

relationship to Jesus as Jesus is to God the Father. He must be part

and parcel connected in that organic way. So why are there seven spirits in

Revelation one? Would you like to answer that question with me? Do you

ever wonder why there's seven spirits instead of one Holy Spirit? There? You're

not a man, you know, you go through the rack They used to

have this inquiry of magazines, says inquiring minds want to know? How many

of your inquiring minds want to know what seven spirits mean? Okay, that's

better. That helps me move on. God completed his work on what day

of creation? Help me with this. I'm interacting with you. Seventh day?

And why is seven important there? Because it means complete. In the

seventh day, he finished his work. It was done. Some translations will

say by the seventh day, others will say on the seventh day. But

the point is the seventh day is the completion of his work. The word

seven in Hebrew comes from a word that means to be satisfied chava, not

with the s sound, but the s. And then also it means to

swear an oath. It's the oath covenant day in which God got it done

and he was satisfied. He was complete. Now, how many of you

like to have a life in which you have a relations of God and you

have a sense that God is getting it done in your life. Are you

with me? See? God created Adam on the sixth day because his first

full day life was the Sabbath. He was finished by faith and by relationship

with God in a full day of life before he started working. So the

Sabbath represents righteousness by faith in Hebrews four, because we are finished by faith

before we start our life of working for God. We rest in the finished

work of God. The word seven means the complete spirit of God. Moses

said, God filled the seventh day with life. And I turned to extous

thirty two seventeen. I'll have it on the screen. This one went out,

so I'll focus on this one and the spirit and the bride say come.

Let him who hears say come, and let him who thirst come.

But that one went out, and this one's these monitors. I'll go to

the top there between my well, I got confused there, Yeah, I

have the wrong verse. So thank you for removing. And I was working

off the screen. This is God speaking of the Sabbath. In Exodus thirty

one, between myself and the Israelites, this is a sign forever. And

if I were to ask you was the sign, you'll see contextually it's the

Sabbath. Now you know, it's the book Revelation. We had the sign

of God, the seal of God, and Revelation seven you're aware of that's

where is it put on the forehead? Now what's the opposite of that in

the book Revelation the mark of the beast, And where is it put in

the forehead and in the hand? Now Deuteronomy's six, the law of God

is to go between your eyes and in your hand. So the seal of

God is part of God's law. It's in fact. In Romans four eleven

it says the sign of circumcision was the seal of righteous By faith, a

sign is a seal. So the seal of the Living God is the sign

of the Living God. In Revelation seventh, it's the Sabbath. At the

time of the end, the Sabbath goes to the entire planet. The forgotten

commandment becomes the newly realized one. The servants of God who do not have

the Seal of God on their forehead suddenly discover that the seal exists, and

the seal of God is the opposite of what again the mark of the beast.

So you can connect dots in this way. Opposites matter in the book

Revelation, so God says, between myself and the Israelites, this is a

sign forever. Can't do away with it. For in six days, Yahweh

made heaven and earth. I'm reading from the New Jerusalem Bible. But on

the seventh day he rested. And reasons I'm reading from the New Jerusalem Bible

because very close to the Hebrew it says, any true breath God breed on

the seventh Day. In the Gospel of John, Jesus breathed on his disciples

the Holy Spirit after his resurrection. Remember that, so the Holy Spirit.

The seventh day is the Holy Spirit Day. In the Bible. Seven spirits

represent the complete spirit of God, who is everywhere in the universe, who

is in our lives, who speaks to the seven churches throughout the world,

God that cannot be contained, not localize God that is Jesus, not God

beyond sight, that is the Father, but God who is everywhere because He

is one with the Father and the Son, just as they are one.

Seven spirits are both before God's thrown and on the lamb as seven eyes.

Now that comes as a surprise. Here are seventh spirits seven torches before God's

throw. But in Revelation five, actually four Relation five, the seventh spirits

are eyes on the lamb. Let's look at the verses Relation through four or

five. And from the throne preceded lightnings and thunderings and voices. Seven lamps

of fire were burning before the throne. We already saw that they're in Revelation

one. And the seven spirits speak as a person, which are the seven

spirits of God? I look at Relation five six, and I looked and

behold in the midst of the throne, and on the four living creatures,

in the midst of the elders, stood a lamb as though it had been

slain, having seven horns and seven eyes. And then it tells you what

the horns and the eyes represent, Which are the seven spirits of God send

out into all the earth. Both the horns and the eyes represent the Holy

Spirit. What's the power of God In the Bible. We already looked at

Luke four the Holy Spirit. Horns are called powers. The complete power of

God is the Holy Spirit. What do ies do help me with this.

We don't need PhDs or these symbols. And I sees so the complete spirit

sees throughout the entire universe. I have some slides here, let's just put

them up now. We're using how many of you know of AI technology?

We in create artwork by interacting with AI. These are AI pictures because I

can't draw this good. The first picture is an angel like figure that looks

like a sapphire blue stone with seven eyes. It's coming from Zachariah three,

the Angel of the Lord, who is the pre existent Christ, whose identifies

the rock from which the Law of God was taken Bleue sapphire stone at the

top of Mount Sinai. Paul says, to that rock that followed them was

Christ. It says in the Exos story the ten Commandments came from that Christ

gave the law. So a blue sapphire Angel of the Lord with seven eyes

appears in Zachariah three talking to Joshua, and God says, the day is

coming when I'm going to open that stone, which is the Angel of the

Lord with seven eyes, and I'm going to cleanse the Iniqoli, this lamb

of a single day in the Hebrew, the word eye also means well of

water, and eye is a well ayon well eyes. It's a pun.

But in the Book of Relation we have a lamb. It's not a stone

like angel figure with seven eyes. We have a lamb with seven eyes.

Who's the lamb? Come on, you know, but who's the lamb?

John one nine. Behold the Lamb of God, who does what takes away

the sin of the world. Now, in Revelation chapter five, we saw

that the lamb has seven eyes, and it tells you that the seven spirits

of God, which is the Holy Spirit. So can you separate the Holy

Spirit from Jesus Christ, Yes? Or no? You can't yank the eyes

out of Jesus. So God has by these figures, given us concrete illustrations

to show that God is one, even though we have personality in the Godhead,

the third heavenly in person the greeting that comes from the God, that

is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is God in human flesh,

the one who has a man, died for us, loosed and washed

us from our sins. And like the Father who was and who is and

is coming, Jesus is an eternal being. But as a man. Jesus

died for our sins, and that's why he went down, as there was

a time in which he was not as the god man. The humanity of

Christ died. Jesus often quotes Isaiah forty four to six and has claimed that

he is Yahweh God as the son of God. Isaiah forty four to six

is the verse in which the Jehovah's Witness church dies. Theologically, it is

none sustainable because of this verse and a few others in the Book of Isaiah

Relation one seventeen eighteen. Read it with me. And when I saw him,

I fell at his feet as a dead, but he laid his right

hand on me. This is Jesus saying to me, saying to John,

do not be afraid, and notice these I am statements. I am the

first and the last. Took note of that. I am he who lives

and was dead. And behold, I'm alive forevermore. Now God is the

one who was is in is coming. Christ is the one who was died

and is alive forever. So it was the interruption in his eternal existence.

Amen, I have the keys of death, of Hades and of death.

Now the Divinity of Christ did not die at the cross. That's another study

for another time. But the humanity did. But the evidence is the divinity

of Christ was quiescent, It was locked away, It was put into a

coma in its relationship to the Father and the Son. What did Christ say

on the cross? My God, My God? Why have you forsake of

me? You're speaking to the godhead. He's the God forsaken God, as

Elder Dwight Nelson has so eloquently said many times at Andrews and Isaiah forty four

to six, God is exclusively the first and the last. He says,

besides me, there is no God. So what is God's title? The

first and the last? Jesus quotes Isaiah forty four to six right here in

Revelation one, verse eighteen, and he applies it to himself more than once

in the book Revelation. He quotes this verse again and again, so we

don't miss the point that he is the I Am, first and last God

of the Bible. Jesus to be lying to apply this first to himself.

If he doesn't have those credentials, we'd have to stone him like the Jewish

leaders wanted to when he claimed to be God. We can't do that.

We need to accept what he claims to be the one true God. Friends,

you must be the first and the last, and if you are not,

you are. And if you are the first and the last, you

are by definition God. Now, Jesus is God. That can be affirmed

in scripture. But is Jesus all there is of God? That's a trick

question. Is Jesus all there is of God? No God, the Father,

God, the Son God, the Holy Spirit is all there is of

God. And all there is of God is the god Head. But Jesus

is God. Sister White says that the Father has the fullness of the Godhead.

She says, the Spirit has the fullness of the Godhead. She says

the Son has the fullness of the Godhead. She's working well with Isaiah and

Revelation and the New Testament Isaiah forty four to six. Thus says the Lord,

the King of Israel. Here's the verse so important, and his redeemer,

the Lord of Host. Is there one or two we're talking about here?

Yes? Or no? There's two, all right. The first is

called the Lord Jehovah all capital letters. Is Jehovah, King of Israel.

That's the Father and his redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts. That's the Son of

God. In Isaiah sixty three nine, the Angel of his presence redeemed them

and carry them all the days of old. The Angel that was God in

the Old Testament, the Angel of the Lord is the reformers rightly understood,

was Jesus Christ who took the form of the Angel of the Lord at Mount

Sinaid, that spoke to Moses at the birding Bush and says, I,

the God of your father's the God of Abraham. And Isaac and Jacob Christ

said that John most likely wrote the Book of John after he wrote the Book

of Revelation. Sister White shares in a very amazing verse that when the Father

and the Son stood together at Mount Sinai, it was the Son who spoke

as the living Word of God the ten Commandments. And that makes a lot

of sense based on a lot of verses in the Bible. John most likely

wrote the Book of John after he wrote the Book of Relation. He clearly

identifies Jesus as God in both books. And look at John one, one

and two and just let the verse hit you. In the beginning, was

the word the word was with God. The word was God. And then

it says he he said Christ as a person, he was in the being

with God, the word of God, who is a He is God.

In the spirit of prophecy, it says, you don't need to explain away

John one. She says, it's the clearest description of Christ you'll find anywhere

in the Bible in terms of his divinity. Look at John twenty, verse

twenty eight. Then he said to Thomas, Now what's Thomas famous for?

Help me with this doubting right, So Jesus said to Thomas, reach your

finger here, and look at my hands, and reach your hand here and

put in my side. He didn't believe Jesus had resurrected. He didn't believe

Jesus could resurrect. Jesus said, you know, you destroy this temple in

three days, I will raise it up. Now, who's the lifegiver God.

He didn't believe it. He says, do not be unbelieving. It

says in the verse, but believing verse twenty eight. And Thomas answered and

said to him, my Lord and my God. So when he believe,

what are you tell him? My Lord? And what my God? And

Jesus says, I'm going to my God and your God, my father,

your father when he ascend him in John twenty. But here Thomas says,

you are my Lord and my God. See Jesus is the Lord, but

he's also God. The Greek uses the deaf and article the the Greek language

says literally, the Lord of me and the God for me, the not

a the Are you a believer or an unbeliever in Jesus? How many of

you want to be like Thomas? Don't raise your hand? How many of

you do not want to be like Thomas? See, you've got to raise

your hand there. You want to be a believer and believer when when Thomas

confessed his faith, he affirmed that Jesus is God. And some of you

said, oh, that Catholic Church teaches that Jesus is God. And that

one point, the Catholic Church is right because it was taught before there ever

was a Roman Catholic Church. It was taught in the first four centuries of

the Christian Church. So we got to be careful that we don't come up

with silly interpretations of history that manipulate outcomes that aren't that people who read know

better. Now, let's look at some slides up here that I have.

How many of you like to go fishing any fish him in here? I

would love to go with you one day. May God bless you and keep

you, cause His face to shine upon you and give you a big one.

All right. Now. I used to pray in the name of the

Father's Son Holy Spirit to catch fish with my boys, because if it will

help Philip to believe and others. When even Jesus had caught the fish there

at the end of the Book of John, I figured to help my sons

to be believers. So take your son's fishing if you want them to come

to Christ and pray there. And I remember praying in the name of the

Father's Son the Holy Spirit. We even catch a trowl all day and sunny.

The rod just buckled over, and we call that whole after the Trium

god Head. Now you're looking at inscription kind of drawings that date to the

second to fourth centuries, but the second centuries at Ephesus. Now let's move

to the next slide. This is what they call it Ithus wheel. It's

a fish wheel. It became a symbol of Jesus Christ for the Christian Church

from the second century on. The Roman Catholic Church came into existence sixth century

and what we call solidified Catholicism. It's the issue of the Trinity was being

debated in the fourth century. This predates all of that. You can go

to ephesis and you can see that Ichthus wheel. It's moved to the next

slide. Now here's another picture of the Ichthus wheel and you'll see the word

Ichthus there at the bottom. The slide is upside down because they hadn't locked

away, so I didn't get it right, but it's it's basically ichthus backwards

from right to left. Here it should be turned upside down, and that's

Those are the Greek letters that wheel contains superimposed the letters iota, key,

theta, upsilon, sigma Icthus for fish. It means fish. This was

the symbol of Christ in the early Christian Church. Moving the next slide,

you see there the ichthus wheel again, another one. Moved to the next

slide, another one, and also the cross is superimposed in there too,

which is not a letter, well it is a letter, but the key,

the key for christos can also is the symbol of the cross. So

here you have in this formed an acronym where every letter means something, and

they could share their faith by showing a wheel instead of instead of giving a

sermon. Let's move to the next slide, all right, Jesus is Jesus,

which is the oda. The key is christas Christ. Now here's the

one of importance, the theta. The third letter is that us? And

what does it mean? You're looking at the slide. Whenever they shared this

symbol of Christ, they were confessing that Jesus Christ is God. And this

wasn't invented by the medieval papal church. This was their confession. Now was

Jesus baptized? Yes? Or no? He was the big fish went into

the water. Now what are all the little fishes supposed to do if they

follow the big fish? Tertillian second century AD used this logic that I'm sharing

with you. We get baptized too, so we're all fish. He's the

big fish, we're little fish. When John was there on the Sea of

Galilee and they were fishing and caught nothing, Jesus was on the shore,

says in the Greek there was a fish and a piece of bread on the

fire, because the fish and the bread represent Christ. On the altar for

our sins they came to eat. We need Jesus in their life. So

thaos means God, we ask the Sun you upsalon and sigma for Soter savior.

Healer can mean both in Greek Okay, moving on the counterfeit trio in

the book. In the book Revelation is a direct attack on the godhead of

Revelation one. And there are three evil kingdoms that come into play in Revelation

sixteen twelve or fourteen that directly attack the role of God the Father, God

the Son, and God the Holy Spirit turn Revelation in sixteen verse twelve,

Then six Angel poured out his ball on the great River Euphrates. Its water

was dried up so that the way of the kings from the east might be

prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits, Like what what does it say

in your Bible? What frogs coming out of the and what do you use

your mouth for? It's the organ of speech. So a frog coming from

the organ of speech, out of the mouth of the dragon. Oh thank

I have this, and you are so kind because now I have two like

the Father and the Sun. Could you give me a third one? Because

the water represents the Holy Spirit. I'm just having fun with you. Emmanuel

is taking care of the pastor. Isn't that a good thing? He may

be a deacon before too long. We need some murvyn, We need some

junior deacons around here. You are tack on in reading me. I said

I was eighty percent there today, and I am thank you all right.

So six angel point his ball in the great phrase, its water was dried

up, that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.

Verse thirteen. I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth

of speech, the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of the beast,

and the mouth of the false prophet. Emphasized three times mouth, mouth,

mouth, dragon, beast, and false prophet. For they are spirits of

what does it say, demons performing signs which go out, in other words,

a mirror curl working. Religious movement is here portrayed by these symbols,

which goes out to the kings of the earth. It's involved in church and

state in a negative way, and the whole world to gather them, to

synagogue them in Greek to the battle of the Great Day of God Almighty,

the battle of Armageddon. Don't think that religion is neutral. Religion is a

powerful force in the world in which we live. The three unclean spirits like

frogs, are the opposite of the three Angels. Messages of relation fourteen six

to twelve messages coming from God, the Father, God, the Son God,

the Holy Spirit, sent through angel media intermediories to prepare the world for

the coming of Christ, the payer of the world, to give to understand

the everlasting Gospel, and a prophetic context of the time of the end,

to raise up a people to go through the mark of the Beast. And

finally, forgot to say, here are those who keep the commandments of God

and the faith of Jesus. So they don't gather on Mount Zion like the

one hundred and thirty thousand do. They gather at the mountain of the Assembly,

which is Mount Zion at the bottom of the mountain, to attack and

kill those who are in the Holy Mountain. Instead that now, think of

the imagery of frogs, these hip hopping, jumping, loud talking. Now

a frog is famous for its tongue, and they're coming out of the mouth

the organ of speech is implied. They gather the kings of the earth at

the Holy Mountain to kill off God's people who fled up Mount Zion for protection

from the beast and the dragon. The modern charismatic movement was identified a Vatican

to by the Medieval, by the Roman modern papacy as a legitimate work of

the Holy Spirit. It is not. It does not pass the Bible test

of the work in the Holy Spirit. As a movement, it has not

led people back to Jesus Christ as primary. It has led people to see

the Holy Spirit as primary in their religious experience. It has not led people

to surrender and keep the Seventh Day Sabbath and the Law of God to complete

the Reformation. But it has done something very amazing, and Christianity today carried

an article a number of years ago. It has been the glue to bring

Protestantism back to Catholicism in the ecumenical movement. And also it's been documented it

has been part of an interfaith, inter religious experience of world religions to bring

them together to where tongue speaking occurs in great stadiums. It occurs with Christians

and non Christians as they all get along in a very fervent but unsanctified form

of Bible worship. It's not Bible worship. And so the Bible is indicating

clear symbolism what this is now. I was once. I was once I'd

engaged radical elements in the Chrismatic movement personally, and I had one in which

there was an attempt to force me to speak in tongues, and I felt

an electrical current that it wasn't just my emotions. And the electrical current is

the exact feeling that is felt by spiritualistic medium. And I said, in

the name of Jesus Christ, and rebuke you. And I got out of

I was Canvassy. I was selling Christian books. I left my books and

I left. I got out of the house. This was a heavy marine

at Camp Lea June. But I learned in early life that this is not

right. There's something going on here. The three unclean spirits like frogs,

are the opposite of the three angels. Messages of Revelation fourteen six to twelve.

It says the six angel porter's ball and the gravy with Phrates, it's

waters dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East, the

battle of God Almighty. These counterfeit three evil spirits gather the kings of the

earth to armageddon. In Hebrew Harmageddon haraz mountain, Mageddon means assembly mo Aid,

the mountain of the Assembly. Satan says, I will put my throne

in the heights of the North, in the mountain of the Assembly, I

will be like the most high. That is the intention of Satan for him

and his false triune Godhead to take the place of the true Godhead. And

the battle of Armageddon is about that. They don't gather themselves there to be

with the Lamb and the Father like one hundred and thirty one thousands, They

gather themselves to destroy God's people Revelations seventeen fourteen. These will make war with

the Lamb. The Lamb will overcome them, for his Lord of lords and

King of kings, and those who are with him are called chosen and faithful.

The modern Chrismatic movement is identified the Six Plagues of False Holy Spirit movement,

led by three froglike unclean spirits. Frogs jump, they make noise,

They catch flies with their laws tongues. Satan is Belzebub in the Bible.

He is the lord of the flies. So God couldn't have given us a

clear way to identify a false Holy Spirit movement at the time of the end,

than he has done so. Here the three unclean spirits have their origin

from three powers here identified as the Dragon, the Beast, and the false

Prophet. In contrast, the three angels messages in Revelation fourteen come from God,

the Father, God, the Son, and God the Holy Spirit who

greet us in Revelation one. So at sixth plague in Revelation sixteen, the

Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet as powers, as kingdom powers,

are usurping the roles of the Holy Trio of the Godhead, that is,

one God and three persons identified Revelation one. In this sense, the

kingdoms of the earth with Satan have taken the place of God, the Father,

God, the Son, and God. The Holy Spirit. The Dragon,

the Beast, and the false Prophet stand direct opposition and contrast as the

counterfeit to the Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The three

persons of the God had identified in the spirit of prophecy, as they command

false worship at the end of time. That by the way in the New

Testament, did people worship Jesus yes or no? Yes, you can't do

that unless Jesus is God. Fair enough. Revelation nineteen ten. Did they

worship the Father in the Bible? Yeah? Okay, point number one.

In the book Revelation, the dragon functions. You can write this down.

I don't have a slide for it. And the book Revelation, the dragon

that is Satan functions as a counterfeit God, the Father for the whole world.

At the end of time, the whole world will come into the authority

and spiritual power of Satan. Accept the remnant church of Revelation twelve seventeen that

keeps the commandments of God and has the Testament of Jesus and the Bible.

John says, God is love. You concur with that is God love?

Yeah. In Relation twelve seventeen, the dragon is angry at the woman and

goes off to make war on the remnant of her. See what is left

of the true Church of the Reformation and the Wilderness that keeps the commandments of

God and the testimony of Jesus, that has the Fourth Commandment, which Reformers

only begin to understand in but Revelation God gave Jesus authority to sit with him

and his throne is God because he's God. He says to him who conquers,

I'll grant with him to sit with me in my throne, as I

myself sat with my Father on his throne. Christ shares the throne of the

universe. He'll let us up there so he can share the story of how

he died for us with our good papa. Father. God put in his

arm around us. One day, I can't wait. In Hebrews one eight,

God the Father calls Jesus God. He calls him God, and then

he says, your throne, Oh, God is forever. The dragon gave

the beast authority in his throne, since the dragon is the counterfeit usurper of

God the Father, Relation thirteen one. The whole world worships the dragon,

who gave authority the beast and the beasts, just like people rightfully worship God

the Father and God the Son Jesus. In the Book of Relation your Testament.

Valid worship is only possible if you're worshiping God. So if you make

Jesus less than God and your interpretation of what it means to be forgotten,

are you hearing me? You make Jesus less than God and your interpretation what

it means to be begotten, you can't worship him. So whatever begotten means,

it means he's God. Now, God Almighty sits on his throne as

the Father, with authority and power to protect us. Do we need a

father God, yes or no? Yeah, to rule in our lives so

Satan can't destroy you and your children, your family. The dragon has a

false throne because Satan is out to destroy both you and your family with his

false authority, his false law interpretation of law, his evil compromise, worldly

culture of disobedient filth, hollywood, junk and nonsense, which are a generation

of young people are going to be safe. Need to separate them themselves from

including adults. God, the Father gave the law of love, but the

Dragon breaks the law and teaches people do the same and worship like the dragon

teachess God. The Father laws us. The dragon hates us. So choose

your father God well, if you want to live forever. And John eight

forty four Jesus told the unbelieving Jews who opposed him that they were of their

father, the devil. He said this John eight fifty eight and fifty nine,

Jesus said to them most assurely, I say to you before Abraham was,

and what does he say? I am. I don't know how someone

can look at that verse. Excuse me how they can look at that verse

and not see Jesus as the God of the burning bush. I am who

I am, he told Moses. Then he took up stones to throw at

him, and Jesus told hit himself, and went out of the temple,

going through the midst of them, and so passed by. I am as

the name of God. In Exous three fourteenth the burning Bush, Jesus is

the God of the burning Bush. The Gospel of John, Jesus told us

disciples that if you've seen me, you've seen the Father. He says,

I and the Father are one, just like the Holy Spirit eyes are on

the lamb. They're what God is one. But there are three persons,

the unbelieving Jews and John eight refuse to accept Jesus as God in human flesh,

and that is why Satan became their God and father. He says,

you know, Jesus told him forthright, you are of your father, the

devil. They could not accept Christ as the I am God. He says,

you're of your father the devil. Listen when God sends Jesus to reveal

him to us, and in that revelation we learn that Christ can only do

that as God, and we get stiff lipped about it, and we get

all angry at that revelation. We're acting just like the Jewish people that crucified

Christ. We must embrace the truth as it is in Jesus, not run

from it. God Almighty sits on his throne as the Father, with authority

and power to protect us, to rule our lives, so Satan can't destroy

you and your children, your family. We need a father God. The

dragon is a false throne because Satan is out to destroy but your family,

your church, and everything else. God, the Father gave the law.

Jesus is the law he gave Jesus. Dragon breaks the law he gave the

beast. God the Father loves us, the dragon hates us. We need

God. John eight forty four. Jesus told the unbelieving Jews who opposed him,

I am John sixteen one to three. So what happens with an angry

serpent kind of false father? God? Will his people act just like him?

John sixteen one through three. These things I've spoken to you that you

should not that you should not be made to stumble. They will put you

out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming. Whatever kills you

would think that he's doing what what does it say in the scripture? He's

offering service to God and these things that will do to you. Because they

have not known the Father nor me, he puts himself in the God package,

they couldnot make the good confession that Jesus is the eternal Son of God.

The Jews that opposed Jesus and John A and following, they couldnot admit

that he is the Great I Am God of the burning Bush. He's one

with the Father. In rejecting Jesus, they rejected the Holy Spirit. They

became hateful, mean people. Their character was transformed, and rejecting the oneness

of God, they couldn't be one as believers either. So when you reject

the Son friend, you reject the Father also and the Spirit. Because the

three are one numbers two, number two. In the Book of Revelation,

the Beast from the Sea functions as a counterfeit Jesus Christ as the Antichrist Kingdom

of the world. The Antichrist beast operates for forty two months. The Revelation

thirteen, verse five forty two months is three and a half years. Who

had a ministry of three and a half years. Jesus Christ did so.

The beast is Antichrist. The beast has a deadly who had a deadly wound

at the cross, Jesus Christ. The beast is Antichrist. The beast comes

back to life. He gets resurrected. Who was resurrected Jesus Christ. Revelation

thirteen forty six. Worship the dragon who gave authority the beast? And they

worshiped the beast, saying, who is like the beast? Who is able

to make war with him? And he was given a mouse, speaking great

things and blasphemes. He was given authority to be to continued for forty two

months. Then he opened his mouth and blaspheming against God to blasphem. His

name is Tabernacle. Those who dwell in heaven excuse me. It was granted

him to make war with the Saints to overcome them, and authority was given

him over every tribe, tongan nation. Christ taught the truth in his forty

two months of ministry. The beast blasphemed Christ healed. The beast made war

Christ is the Prince of peace. God gave Jesus authority to go and make

disciples. The dragon gave the beast authority to enslaved people to lead them to

ruin. Christ had a forty two month, three and a half year ministry.

The beast had a forty two month prophetic ministry. Where every day is

a year, twelve hundred and sixty days is three and a half years in

Bible prophecy twelve and sixty years. The Middle Ages, and this power tore

down the Christian Church. Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday to lead us

people to God into heaven. The Beast rises from the dead on Sunday to

take the whole world to tradition and the Lake of Fire with six sixty six

on their heads. Revelations seventeen eleven. The Beast that was and is not

is himself also an eighth. Now the name Jesus in the Bible, Jesus

has a numerical value just like sixty sixty six, but it's not sixt sixty

six. Does anyone know what that is? In the Greek, it's eight

eight eight. Eight is the number for Jesus because it means a new beginning,

and so Christ is eight at eight. The mark of the beast is

sixty sixty six. The beast is an eighth. He tries to be Christ.

He's Antichrist. The beast represents a cropt Christian world kingdom order that is,

church and state in the Middle Ages. That goes to pradition, because

you cannot love the world in Jesus Christ. At the same time, we

need Jesus in our lives. Lives. You know, there's so much that

would yank. I hear voices all the time as as well. If we

would just compromise here and there with our kids and young people, then we

would be more effective, yeah, more effective at leading them to ruin.

We shouldn't compromise, but in love we should. We should lead them to

greatness in the things of God. Bible believing Christians. Now, these kids

have been waiting to do their Bible verses. Come on up, Come on

up. We're gonna end with you doing your Bible verses here because I don't

want to forget this. It's not in my sermon. Come on up here

real quick. We're not gonna do all of them, but we're gonna do

some of them because I forgot to do that at the front side of the

sermon, quick as you can, let's form that line. Okay, we're

each going to read one verse because of our time, and I'd like it

if you start with verse one and work right through and then we get right

back in here. And why the kids are coming up. If you need

to stand, we're going a little longer today. It can't help him whoever

believes that Jesus Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves him who

be God, also loves him who's Begod's in the Hima. By this we

know that he loved the children of God when we love and keep his command

for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments, and his

commandments are not burthensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world.

And this is a victory. And that has overcome the world our faith.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is

the son of God. Okay, that's good. That's all we're gonna do.

Thank you for helping me. They helped the pastor out there a little

bit. Thank you. Yes, I got Bible believing. Young people are

gonna be preachers, one day teachers, all right, Number two, the

Book of Relation, the Beast from the Earth functions as a counterfeit Holy Spirit

and false Prophet is the anti anti Holy Spirit Kingdom of the World. Actually,

give me a second here, I've got my numbers wrong. It's number

three, number three, And the Book of Relation. The Beast from the

Earth functions as a counterfeit Holy Spirit and false prophet is the anti Holy Spirit,

not Antichrist, but anti Holy Spirit. But what do I mean to

this? Okay? The beast brings fire down from heaven. Fire came down

at Pentecost. The beast gives breath or spirit to the image of the beast,

so that the image of bee should even speak. That's the Holy Spirit

kind of talk. And the beast, the lamb like beast is lamb like,

but it's not the Lamb. It's not counterfeiting the Lamb. It's like

it, just like the Holy Spirit is like Christ. He mediates the personality

of Christ. The lamb like beasts lamb like because it starts out a Christian

power at the end of the Middle Ages contextually, and it mores to speak

like a dragon, and it persecutes at the time of the end, and

so it's a false Holy Spirit movement. Now this time prophecy of forty two

months ends of the year seventeen ninety eight. This lamb like beast comes into

existence around the year seventeen ninety eight seventeen seventy six, has two horns with

no crowns. It's not a monarchy, and so it is a religio political

power that arises without a king, and it's a false and a false Holy

Spirit movement starts in that country out of the outcome of it. It's no

accident that the modern Chrismatic movement arose in America. America is the lamb like

beast of the book Revelation John fourteen twenty six. But the help of the

Holy Spirit and the Father will sin in my name. He will teach you

all threings and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

The Holy Spirit is a he Seven eyes are on the lamb, and the

Holy Spirit speaks for Jesus. He's the eyes of God. He's the voice

of the Sun. When you hear his voice, you're hearing Jesus speak to

you. Revelation thirteen eleven. The lamblight beast that speaks like a dragon,

also identified as the false Prophet Revelation nineteen twenty, brings fire down from heaven

from in Revelation thirteen thirteen. Eventually he speaks like a dragon. Now turned

to relation thirteen eleven. I saw another beast coming out of the earth.

It had how many horns? What does it say? Two horns like a

lamb, and it spoke like a dragon. So it starts out as a

Christian power, it ends up as a dragon power telling you. When the

Supreme Court the United States legalized homosexual marriage in this country, it institutionalized the

violation of the Ten Commandments as an innate rite. God isn't mocked by this

kind of thing. You know, we're gonna love people. I have good

friends who have struggled in that lifestyle. I don't look down on any of

these dear people. They're my I have a brother and a sister. You're

Christian people who are obedient and don't do what they feel like doing. But

when you say God's law doesn't matter and you institute the law of the dragon,

you speak like a dragon. Revelation in thirteen eleven, I saw another

beast come out of the earth, had two horns like a lamb, and

spoke like a dragon. How does a dragon speak? In Revelation twelve ten,

he accuses the brethren. That's how the dragon speaks. So a persecuting

power the United States of America will eventually become. I'm going to move ahead

because of our time now. In the book Revelation, the devil is angry

at one group at the very end. That has two solid characteristics. Look

at Revelation twelve to six. Just move your bibles forward. The woman fled

into the wilderness where she has a place prepared by God, that they should

feed her there for how long? Twelve hundred and sixty days. That's the

Middle Ages. That's the counterfeit antichrist ministry of the medieval papacy that forged a

union of church and state. The beast was Christian, but not Christian in

Middle Ages Antichrist. And we learn that when the woman fled in the waterness.

And I want to draw your attention to verse six again, I don't

have an underline there. Then the woman fled into the waterness where she is

a place prepared by who? What does it say by God? Look what

it says next that they see that they The Greek says they some translations leave

it out. God is a they, God is a Godhead, a Father,

Son, and Holy Spirit. That they should feed her there one thousand,

two and sixty days. God, the Father, God, the Spirit,

God, the Son feeds us from the Word of God. They work

together to get it done. And this lays the basis for the Remnant Church

of Relation in twelve seventeen. You cannot be the remnant Church of Revelation twelve

seventeen unless you get the Godhead right, which the reformers got right and died

for in the right understanding, as they linked it with righteousness by faith.

God are Father, the Holy Spirit, the Son of God, one God,

the one God. Who is they in Revelation twelve six fetish church on

the Word of God in the Middle Ages. And now look at Relation in

twelve seventeen. And the dragon was angry with the woman. Why because she

has a relationship with God. And he went off to make war with the

remnant arrest of her. See who keep the commandments of God and have the

testimony of Jesus. The dragon is the counterfeit for God. The Father makes

war on the remnant Church because it has a relationship with God, and because

it keeps the commandments and it has the testimony of Jesus, that is the

spirit of prophecy. There's a Seventh dadminist Christians, and I'm a Seventh Davish

Christian. We are reformers before we are advetists. Did you hear me?

I surprised you. We are reformers before we're advetists because righteous by Faith came

through the Reformation. Solo scripture of the Bible of the blae Maloney came to

the Reformation, and the correct knowledge of the triun God was established in the

Reformation. I strongly advised the reading of John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion.

It's a master piece of Bible study. It is the foundation of the

Reformation. Sister White read that book. I am confident of this by the

use of her manuscripts from eighteen eighty eight to the time she died, and

I have read her manuscript writings on Writeness by Faith. She is a reformer.

This is why the book Great Controversy is so important. Luther Calvin Swingley

Wesley. She's affirming what we are and as reformers the Sabbath Will Miller prophecy.

You don't cut off all that history and act like you're smarter than it.

We are standing on the shoulders of great men and women. Satan is

at war with the true Church? Is it war with the Father, the

Son, and the Holy Spirit and the Trium Godhead. Why? Because we

need the three of them introduced in the book Revelation as the one who was.

Isn't this coming the Father, the seventh spirits before thrown, the Holy

Spirit, and the one who loved us and freed us from our sins?

Jesus, the True Witness, three persons of the Godhead, and they that

feed us in relation twelve to six together is one God. We need them.

Can you call on the same the they in trouble, the they that

fed and nurture the Church in the wilderness. Are you okay with that calling

on the Father and Sun Holy Spirit in your life? Or are you have

people telling you can't call on the Son and the Spirit? What a nonsense

statement to make. Can you call on the authority of God the Father when

your life is out of control with no life in it? Can you call

on God the Father? Can you call on God the Son when you need

a savior to loose you from your sins, to wash you from your sins.

Can you call on God the Son to save you the good Confession of

Christ. Can you call on the Holy Spirit when you feel alone and forsaken

by God, when the accuser comes after to take you down and say you

don't belong to God God? Can you call on God the Spirit to be

with you in Jesus' name? Can you call on these three heavenly Worthies,

as Sister White calls them, to help you when you pray and call to

God for help in your life. When any brother or sister well meaning tells

you that Jesus is not God and that's Catholic, that's not true. The

Bible demonstrates it's not true, and so does history. But you know,

when any well meaning Christian brother or sister tells you you can't call on God

the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, that's not

true either. And I'm going to show you from the Spirit of Prophecy as

my last statement, dear, how important it is to call on the Three

Great Worthies. Sermon and Talks by One, page three sixty six, written

in nineteen oh six, after eighteen eighty eight. It's written in October twenty

and it shows you the growth and development of the Aventist Church as we came

to understand the Godhead in relationship to righteousness by faith. Here is where the

work of the Holy Ghost in the Sister White is speaking in a sermon.

Here's where the work of the Holy Spirit comes in. After you're baptized.

You are baptized in the name of the Father of the Son, the Holy

Ghost. You're raised up out of the water to live henceforth in newness of

life, to live a new life. You are born unto God, and

you stand in the sanction and the power. Here's what she says of the

three holiest beings in heaven, and what's the wording she uses, Three holiest

beings in heaven who are able to keep you from falling. I move to

the next statement. You are to reveal that you are dead to sin.

Your life is hid with Christ and God. Hidden with Christ and God.

Wonderful transformation. This is the most precious promise. When I feel oppressed and

hardly know how to relate myself toward the work that God has given me to

do, I just call on the three great worthies. What does she call

the Father's Sun Holy Spirit? Here I underlined it, three great worthies.

And how's it capitalize in that manuscript? They're persons. And I say,

you know, I cannot do this work in my own strength. Now she

signed off on these manuscripts. By the way, friend, she says,

you must work. She's talking to God. You must work in me and

buy me and through me, sanctifying my tongue, sanctifying my spirit, sanctifying

my words, bringing me into a position where my spirit shall be susceptible to

the movings of the Holy Spirit of God upon my mind in character. And

then she says, and I've underlined it, and this is the prayer that

every one of us may offer. We have a right to pray to the

Father, Son and Holy Spirit for help in our lives because they're all together,

God, the One God, the Godhead. So what's the counterfeit Godhead?

Real quiz? Who's the counterfeit Father? In the book Revelation? The

Dragon? Who's Satan? Who's the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit? And the

book Relation? The lamb like beasts? The false prophet? And what is

the counterfeit of Christ in the Book of Relation, the Beast from the Sea,

the antichrist beast. We need the one God who is three to be

saved and healed. We need the one God who is they to feed us

from the Word of God. You can pray and you can call on the

Godhead to be saved, just like Sister White did, because this is a

vital fact, the three or one, and we need to know that.

We need to know it to have a strong relationship with Jesus. God,

bless you. Thank you for letting me go a little longer today. I

needed to go through that today with you, and you needed it too,

am I right? So let's stand for our closing prayer. God, bless

you. You're heavenly Father. You have given us the Book of Relations a

revelation of Jesus Christ is God. But it's also a revelation of God who

he is as the Holy Trio, as Sister White would call him, three

great worthies. Father, help us to not just read a verse here or

there, but to really look at the whole Bible. Where one verse is

not clear, there are many that are. And Lord, you led these

dear people in the Reformation, not to mimic the Catholic Church and give us

a false view of the Trinity. You led them to a real good view

of things. And Father, I know that William Miller was a Trinitarian in

the spirit of the Reformation. So was Ellen White. And there were people

in early Church who came from Christian connectionism. You know the history, Father,

more than I do, who had to grow And so you led sister

White and Jones and Wagner in eighteen eighty eight to present a view of the

Cross of Christ that made us grow to know Jesus better as a people.

Father, may be, never live in the past, but live in the

present as you lead us to the eternal light, and maybe never speak of

the remnant Church as they but us. There's not another church in the book

Revelation that has a different view of God than the one that ended when Ellen

Ye died getting it right. And so, Father, I pray that you'd

help us to be kind within our church as we struggle with these issues.

No one's better because they have a correct view here or there than any other.

Help us to be like Jesus kind as we study and work through these

things. But Lord, help us to cling together to never give up on

your church, and to go all the way to the end with Jesus and

stand with the Lamb. I'm out Zion in Jesus' name. Lord, I

thank you this day for the seventh the Aventist Church, the remnant Church of

the Apocalypse, feebled and defective as it is. Help us to stay in

it and live and work in it to the glory of God. In Jesus'

name, Amen.
