Prophecy Countdown _ The Deadly Mark or Saving Seal_ _ Doug Batchelor

Good morning friends, Welcome again to Prophecy Countdown. I want

Yeah, man, we want to thank our musicians heavenly Harmonias

for bringing us that beautiful musical item and pasadec. We

are grateful folk the great musicians we've.

Had during this Bible Prophet man, you know, maybe at

the beginning, before we get into the Bible questions, amazing facts,

would like to express our appreciation to all of.

The members, the pastors, the staff of the Crowley Church.

They have been such troopers and working so hard in organizing,

in feeding and helping with the everything from the security

to the setup and our media team. We're just so

grateful this program like this for fifteen nights, well sixteen

pro is just an orchestration of a lot of people

working together with their spiritual gifts. We want to say

thank you to Pastor Adam, mister Nathan, the conference, the

union and all the people that have worked together to

make this possible, and thank you for coming a man.

All right, pasadeg Well, we've got some great final questions

and friends, the questions don't have to end at the

end of this program because we answer Bible questions every

Sunday evening. We have a program called Bible Answers Live

and we take live calling Bible questions. So make sure

you check that out, all right, Passida, First question, how

can we know that the Bible is truly inspired? After all,

every religion claims to have inspired writings.

No comparison. The Bible has been the best seller since

the printing press. It was the first book on the

printing press. The Prophecies in the Bible that have come

true have sent it rocket head and shoulders above every

other book. Now, before I became a Christian, you know,

I was reading the writings of Buddhism Shokti Bangdavida. I've

read the Koran, the Book of Mormon, I've read watched

hower publications, I'd everything. When I finally found the truth

that we've been sharing with you, I thought, where have

you been? This is the truth. And I can tell

you all the time people come to this seminar and

they say, I have been going to church fifty years.

I've learned more in one week this seminar than in

fifty years attending other churches or other religions. The Bible

is it is an anvil that has worn out a

million hammers, and it's the prophecies. I think they're the

strongest proof.

All right, next question dealing with prophecy. What does Revelation eight,

verse one mean when it talks about a half an

hour of silence in heaven.

Yeah, it says there's half an hour in silence of

silence in heaven. This this is happening, of course in heaven,

you know, God is surrounded with joy and singing I've

heard it argued, well, this is the time that Christ

was on the cross, but this is actually the time

heaven is vacated. Now, if a day is a year

in prophecy, then one twenty fourth of a day's one

twenty fourth of a year. There'd be about fifteen days.

Half an hour would be about seven days, an interesting

Revelation number. And it's understood this is the time when

heaven is silent because Christ is coming with a few

angels or all the angels, if he's coming in the

glory of the Father and with all the holy angels,

there are silence in heaven as they are coming to

earth to rapture up the saints and bring them in

in a celebratory parade through the cosmos back to the Kingdom.

And so that's one reason heaven is vacated, as they've

come to rescue and redeem. This saved, all right.

Another question, also on revelation. You mentioned this a little

bit I think previous presentation. What is the symbolism of

the frogs in Revelation sixteen that come out of the

mouth of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.

Yes, three unclean frogs come out of the mouth of

the beast, the dragon, and the false prophet. Well, one thing,

it's a counterfeit trinity. You've got the Father Son and

Holy Spirit. Frogs are unclean animals. Frogs were among the

plagues that fell on Egypt. A frog's weapon is its tongue,

which is very fast, and it's telling us that there's

an unclean message that is sent from the mouth of

the beast, the dragon, and the false prophet that is

used to gather people together for the final battle of

what Armageddon? This is a battle war against the church

to exterminate God's people. And one fell swoop. Now there

are three battles in Armageddon. It's one war. You've got

a battle that happens before Christ comes. The final battle

of Armageddon is happening after Jesus comes, when God reigns

fired down out of heaven. And there's a part of

the battle when Satan launches an attack on the city

of God.

All right, Next, wistion that we have with approximately one

third of the world's population. Why is China and India

not mentioned in Bible prophecy.

Well, I think they are mentioned. The Bible says that

the Gospel is going to go to every tongue, race

and people. And even as we speak now these messages

are being translated in Telugu, Hindi, Mandarin, and amazing Pax

has a work both in China and in India. Now

they're not specifically mentioned in the prophecies of Daniel because

the nations that are mentioned are the nations that occupy

or had power over God's people during that time, and

it was the Romans and the Persians, and the Babylonians

and the Greeks. They're the ones that had power and

they occupied but promised land. Then when you get to

the last image, it's divided in ten parts. You get

the ten divisions of Europe, and the influence now becomes

a global influence that includes China in India. Now I

should mention that I've done meetings, public meetings, evangelistic meetings

in China, in India, and in Russia, and in all

three of those countries we are no longer allowed, not

just us. Christians are no longer allowed to do any

public evangelism. They call it proselyzing. It's forbidden. I can

go preach any church in Russia, India and China with

the laws of change. Here it's become very difficult. But

the Internet. We're getting around that, all right.

Next question, what does a mean in Galatians chapter three,

verse thirteen, where it says we are redeemed from the

curse of the law.

Well, the curse of the law is the penalty of

the law, the penalty of the law. If you sin,

the penalty is death. And through Christ be aimed from

the curse of the law. We are no longer under

the penalty of the law. But Paul says, do we

then sin because we are under grace and not law?

He says, God forbid. In other words, do we commit

lawlessness now because we're under grace? He says, God forbid.

You can read in Romans two, verse thirteen it is

not the hearers of the law that are just before God,

but the doers of the law that will be justified

when we are saved by grace and saved from the

penalty and the curse of the law. We want to

be law abiding. Amen, are save people? The most lawless

people are the most lawful people.

All right? Does John chapter twenty, verse nineteen indicate that

the disciples institute at Sunday keeping in honor of the resurrection,

Please explain this verse John twenty nineteen.

Okay, when Jesus rose from the dead, it says in

the same day, at evening, being the first day of

the week, when the doors were shut, that disciples were

assembled for fear of the Jews. They were assembled to

establish a new holy day. Not what it says, why

are they assembled for fear of the Jews. Yes, it

was on the first day that Jesus rose. Jesus rested.

Jesus even kept the Sabbath in his death. He went

to sleep Friday night. He slept all Sabbath. He woke

up Sunday morning to continue his work as our mediator

and our high priest. They were assembled on the first

day of the week. He met with him several days

of the week, not just the first day of the week.

And when he appeared to the Lord, he said, peace

be to you. Nothing in the passage says that God

has not replaced or altered it with a new Sabbath day.

All right, how do you know when rebaptism is appropriate?

Well, that's something I think you should do prayerfully and carefully.

It's great to have the counsel of a pastor someone

that knows you. You know, every now and then someone

will come to pastor ross him and say that I'm

thinking to being rebaptized, and we would like to know more,

because you know what happens sometimes a person, one example

would be they get divorced without biblical ground in a

church in another town. Then they rushed to a new town.

They find a new pastor that doesn't know the circumstance. Hey,

just baptize me, and then you baptize them. They run

back and say, I then rebaptize. Everything's okay and how

and so it can be abused. So it's important to

counsel with a pastor. But sometimes a person they have backslidden,

some time has gone by, they have been redeemed, they're

coming to church, they're faithful, they've shown that they've been converted,

and they want re baptism. They should be rebaptized, And

so it's good to be done in consultation with a

pastor or if you've come into a whole new understanding

of the truth. People come to a seminar like this.

I know one Baptist pastor. He came, he said, I

want to be baptized. I said, well, you're Baptist, aren't you. Yeah,

I said, aren't you baptized by immersion? Yeah, said, but

I only got baptized into nine command that's I want

to get baptized into all ten. So he was rebaptized.

That's like those men in Acts nineteen. They were twelve

Ephesian believe that were baptized by immersion by John the Baptist,

but they had not heard so much about Jesus. Paul

rebaptized them and they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

A passadev could be communion service, and in particular the

washing of feet be miniature baptism for Bravis.

Yeah, you know, all of us fall. We make mistakes,

even after we're Christians. Jesus was tempted after his baptism.

He didn't sin, but we often do. And you know,

for the little things that happen, you don't need to

run to the pastor every time that you and your

wife have an argument and say I should be rebaptized.

That's why the Lord established the Lord's Supper. We renew

our covenant with him through the grape juice, through the bread,

and through the foot washing service. It's like a mini baptism.

All right.

Another question, do you recommend doomsday prepping to get ready

for the time of trouble.

Well, you know it's not a bad idea when you

say doomsday prepping. No, if all of us run out

into the hills and hide, then who's going to do evangelism? Right?

The majority of the world's people live in cities. God's

people need to be prepared to be witnesses. It is

not a bad idea to be a civilian anywhere in

the event of a storm or a shortage, to have

a little supply that can get you through a crisis.

You should have everyone. I mean, even common education teaches

you should have some batteries, you should have some spare water.

And yes, if you are counting on your five gallon

buckets of rice and beans to get you through the

time of trouble, you may go there and find it's

been eaten by worms. Our faith needs to be in

the Lord. The Bible says, our bread and our water

will be sure. God will feet is during that time.

But I think everybody should make some practical preparation if

you are able to live on the outskirts of a city,

especially if you have family, better off being in a

country environment, because use common sense when there are disasters

Where are the places if trucks stop moving merchandise? Where

do we see the greatest violence. It's in city centers,

and so it's nice if you could be in more

rural places, but don't be so far out that you

can't work where the people are. Because we want to

be evangelists. Let our lights shine.

Amen.

If you can live in the country and work in

the city, bless your heart. That's the best thing. Not

everybody can afford to do that, but you pray about

your circumstance. Okay.

Another question that we have, What does Matthew twenty five

forty six mean when it says the wicked will receive

everlasting punishment?

Yeah, the punishment of the wicked is everlasting. There is

no forgiveness, There is no a second chance. It is

a permanent sentences, no parole, You cannot appeal. And that's

all it's saying. They receive an everlasting punishment. God is

so often merciful patient. The door of mercy swing is

for so long, but at some point probation that's going

to close. When the wicked receive the final punishment, it

is called the second death. It is a permanent, eternal punishment.

How will we know true profits from false prophets in

the last days.

Well, there's several signs that are given. You might say, well,

the true profits or prophecies come true, that's one sign.

But sometimes false prophets give what appear to be true prophecies.

When the demon appeared to King Saul in the Book

of First Samuel, it gave a prediction that came true

the next day. I mean, you can fire buckshot in

the clouds, and every now and then you're going to

get a duck if you do it often enough. They say,

even a blind pig will find an acorn every now

and then, and so yes, even false prophets can be

right every now and then. So being right from time

to time does not prove there are other evidence for

one thing. If they're asking for your credit card number

in order for them to give you a prophecy, and

they are a false prophet if they are if their

lives are not in harmony with the life of Jesus,

they are false prophets. If they're interested in their glory

more than the glory of God. If they're saying something

that contradicts the Bible, then they are false prophets. If

they're telling you to worship other gods. Moses says they

are false prophets. And so there's several criteria. We've got

a lesson of amazing facts. It's called astrologers, psychics, and prophets,

and it tells you how to identify. There's a list

in there of about a dozen ways you can tell

the difference between a true and a false prophet.

All right, where is the Ark of the Covenant now?

And will it be revealed one day before the second Coming?

We can only speculate on the first part where it is.

It is very likely hidden in one one of the

many caves that honeycomb the city of Jerusalem. Whenever they

start digging in and around Jerusalem, they run into caverns

and caves that were dug through antiquity, because it's got

like a limestone foundation. I have been in some myself,

some of the caves that are underneath the city. There

were many graves that were dug that were there. Jeremiah,

the prophet slash priest, he was told by God that

the Babylonian king Nebukenzrat was going to come destroy the

temple and burn the city. He knew that most of

the sacred artifacts were going to be carried away. He

and some of the loyal priests in an effort to

keep the ark from falling back into the hands of

the Pagans. Before the fall of Jerusalem, they hid the

ark somewhere in the vicinity of Jerusalem because the Babylonians

had surrounded the city. So, like I said, there are

many caves. It's probably still hidden there today. When you

find the other articles that are mentioned that were brought

back after the Babylonian captivity and that were carried away

by Nevi Kenezer, it mentions the pillars, It mentions the snuffers,

It mentions many of the articles. The most sacred has

never mentioned. The arc is never mentioned by The arc

was there during the time of Josiah. You can read

that in the Bible. So it was still there up

until the time of Jeremiah. It disappears. The only thing

we can assume is it was hidden. Will it be rediscovered?

We don't know. Wouldn't that be wonderful.

If it was well pastor that. We want to thank

everyone for the great Bible questions, and if we didn't

answer your question in the program here give us a

call a Bible Answers live and again. That's a Sunday

Once again, a very important presentation. The Deadly Mark or

the Saving Seal.

Welcome once again, friends to Prophecy Countdown. What's Next. And

I'm so thankful for all of you that are gathered

here at the Crowley Church in the fort Worth suburbs.

We've had a wonderful time together. Amen, it's hard to

believe that we've gone through fifteen presentations and today we're

going to be dealing with one of the most important

talking about the Deadly Mark and the Saving Seal. And

if you have missed any of the presentations, I hope

you'll make the most of going to the website Prophecycountdown

dot tv. Make sure you remember the dot TV part

as a few other websites out there and you'll end

up at the wrong place Prophecy Countdown dot tv. Or

you go to the Amazing Facts website and you can

find some of the resources you may have missed. We'd

like for everyone to have a completed series to then

study and share with your friends, because the time is

at hand. The things that we're talking about now, I

really believe that we aren't living in the last day's friends.

But as much as I have to say, I could

not begin this program without just saying thank you again.

To the local church for all of your faithful support service.

I know so many teams we're working together. I want

to personally thank my friends at three ABN that are

broadcasting this series for free. I hope you'll continue to

support them. You can do that online as well as

Good News TV and AFTV sents for Amazing Facts Television

and the other networks that are just broadcasting uplinking these

meetings because we're in the last days and they want

to get the message out. So thank you so much.

We sure appreciate your support, all right, like to begin

with an amazing fact our lesson the deadly mark of

the Saving Seal. IRIS skinning technology is used in a

wide range of security identification on end authentication applications because

it's fast, accurate, and contactless in comparison to other biometric

methods such as fingerprint scanning, voice AU AU authentication, authentic authentication.

There you go. I'm wonder how that's going to be

translated now into Hindi. Facial recognition. IRIS recognition is known

as the most accurate. An ever increasing number of US

companies are now using IRIS recognition technology and everything from

airport security and phone apps to workplace check in. Karen

and I just were traveling overseas and it was amazing.

We got to a number of these airports and they

just said, take off your hat, take off your glasses,

look at the camera. Okay, you're good, go in. And

in some places it didn't even have to take off

my glasses because they say that your eye. You know,

Jesus said, the eye is the window of the soul.

Your has got more data information than even your fingerprint has.

And in the last days, the Bible says there's something

going on the inside that is going to mark and

distinguish every single person. Now the Bible ends the way

it began. You notice, the first three chapters of the

Bible tell about a perfect paradise, the Tree of life,

man's sin, there is a serpent, and then the last

three chapters in the Bible talk about paradise restored, man

eating from the Tree of life again, the serpent is destroyed,

and so it's all really a story about how to

get back to the garden. In chapter four of Genesis,

it talks about a battle between brothers regarding true and

false worship. Revelation tells us there is a battle between

two groups that claim to worship the same God, between

true and false worship. You remember, Adam and Eve originally

had their two first sons, Cain and Abel. Abel was

a keeper of sheep, Cain a tiller of the ground.

When it came time to make an offering, they were

supposed to offer the animals. This is what God had

commanded in the sacrificial system. That's why he gave Adam

and Eve coats of skin. It required his sacrifice to

cover their nakedness, and Able according to that, as much

as it broke his heart, he took the life of

a lamb, put it on the altar. Fire came down

from God out of heaven, and consumed that. God showed

approval of his sacrifice. God brought the fire down in

the days of Moses to show approval of the sacrifice.

God brought the fire down in the days of Solomon

to show approval. He did it for Elijah three times.

If you know the story of Elijah, Cain put his

fruit on the altar. He said, well, Able's a shepherd,

but it's kind a messy. I'm going to do it

my own way. As long as to make an offering

to God, what difference does it make he rationalized it

shouldn't make a difference whether he did it his way

or God's way. And nothing gathered but fruitflies. And Abel

tried to encourage his brother follow God's commands, do what

God said, and Cain became so angry at his younger

brother telling him what to do. Says as Cain talked

with Able his brother Genesis four eight, it came to

pass when they were in the field, that Cain rose

up against Abel, his brother, and killed him. You have

the first murder over the subject of worship, the false

persecuting the true. And you see that follow its pattern

through history. The Bible goes on to say that we

read in Genesis that after Cain killed Abel, the Lord

set a mark on Cain as an ominous warning to

future killers. So with that, we're going to go to

the man on the street and see what we can

learn about the Uh what do people know about the

mark of the beast? And six six six, Make sure

and read the headings underneath the when it plays men

on the street, see the headings, because sometimes the questions

we're asking are a little bit difference. But we'll play

that at this time.

Well, I believe it's six sixty six Illuminati stuff, isn't it.

Mark of the beast is eventually something that is going

to be like force fed to us.

So to me, the mark of the beast is the

old Hollywood adage or the whole Hollywood symbol of six

six six.

I do not know the mark of the beast, because

there's been different talks like the six sixty.

Six when Lucifer puts his hands in your evilness, it's.

The mark of the beasts, you know. Some would say

I think six.

Sixty six also means change or something among those lines.

I know that as the devil's number.

I obviously it's a demonic number, but it is just

a part of a story.

It's just a part of the parable devil.

Devil is Chigan hell.

I do not know, because I'd rather stay away from negativity.

That's for me.

It's a devil's hour.

I don't know the biblical implications of it, but I

know from all the horror movies and scary movies that

I've watched that sixty six to six is the devil's number.

I was checking out of the store and I remember

the price came up to six six six six dollars

and sixty six cents. And I remember the cashier went, ooh,

look at that, and I said, yeah, said you know

what it means? She said, no, this is bad. That's

all people know. What does six six six mean? Well,

God made man on the sixth day, God created one

more day, a day of worship. Man made worship is

connected with six. If you look in Daniel chapter I'm sorry,

Revelation thirteen, it talks about those who do not worship

the image of the beast should be killed. That hearkens back.

That echoes back to Daniel chapter three, where King Nebukanism

made a great golden image and he told, if you

do not worship my image, you will be killed. And

it says the image was sixty cubits by six cubits,

and one historian, Leslie Harding said that in Hebrew, as

with the altar of incense, which was two cubits high

by one cubit by one cubit, he said, if it

doesn't give the width, it'll be the same as the depth,

meaning that image was sixty by six by six and

if they did not worship, they would be killed. And

that was in Babylon, and so we look for it

in modern Babylon or spiritual Babylon. What is that image? Now?

If you happen to go to a public game where

all the seats are listed, and you happen to get

seat number sixty sixty six, need to move. We used

to tease one of the workers in our Amazing Facts

office because his license plate the last three digits were

sixty sixty six, and he didn't care much for it,

but he didn't sell the car or he didn't have

to apply for another one. But it's the number itself

is just a number. It is interesting that it is

a number connected with Rome. I think I told you

the first six Roman numerals, when you add them upcome

to six sixty six. And for the Babylonians that had

three hundred and sixty days in the year. And this

is where you get three hundred and sixty degrees in

a circle or thirty six slots on a roulette wheel.

That if you add one plus two plus three plus

four and you go through thirty six, it comes to

six sixty six. It's interesting. So from the Roman, from

the Babylonian, and then you'll also learn from the people,

it adds up to that number, all right, let's get

to question number one. Who will be protected through the

seven last plays? Answer, do not harm the earth till

or the sea or the trees till we have what

sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. So

it's not just those that are worshiping the beasts that

get something in their forehead or their hand. The servants

of God get something in their foreheads. Those that received

the seal in their foreheads during the plagues are protected.

You remember the children of Israel when that last plague

came through Egypt. It was the death of the firstborn.

God told them to take the blood of a lamb

and to put it on the lentils of the door

of their house, and that angel of Judgment would pass

by and they would be saved by the sign of

the blood with me. It was a sign to save

them from this plague. When Joshua came and they shouted

in the walls of Jariah fell down, the only ones

who were saved are the ones who had the red

rope hanging in the window of Rahab's house. If you

were not in the house with the red rope, that

rope was a sign. Obviously red, the symbol of the

blood of Christ, they would be spared, they were saved

and the last days. God also has something that is

a sign. We're going to get to that in our

lesson today says God has sealed us and given us

the spirit in our heart as a guarantee. So the

first part of the Seal of God is going to

be what the Holy Spirit. Now, let me just think

for a second. How many of you know, those that

have the mark of the beast have the spirit of

the devil? Does that stand to reason? If you have

the seal of God, whose spirit do you have? God's Spirit?

All right? So you know there's two spirits that were

in the world today, and those that have the Seal

of God obviously have the Holy Spirit. So you must

be sealed with the Holy Spirit. Having believed Ephesians one,

verse thirteen. Having believed, you were sealed with the Holy

Spirit of promise. So this is inner seal again Ephesians

four thirty. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God

by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

So God's spirit, Jesus said, you'll know them by their fruits.

And if you've got the spirit of God in your heart,

it'll be seen in the life. But there's something more.

Number two, what is this seal that the righteous have

in their foreheads? Answer, bind up the testimony seal the

what seal the law among my disciples? So there is

a seal in the law of God, and that makes

it pretty good. Now, notice the word testimony. Notice the

word law here it says, seal the law. The dragon

is mad. Chapter twelve, verse seventeen. He is especially mad

in the last days with this woman, and he goes

to make war with the remnant of her see or

the remnant the remainder that keep the commandments of God.

That's the law and has the testimony of Jesus, and

the Bible says that is the spirit of prophecy. So

here you see the law and the commandments, but hear

the law is called a seal in the law. Seal

my law, seal my spirit among my disciples. So what

does a seal? Now you got to look at this biblically.

God's seal is found in his law. A seal is

something that makes a document official, and it normally contains

three principal characteristics, a name, an office, and the territory.

So it's going to have the person's name, their title,

their office that they hold, and their territory. An example

would be Cyrus. That's his name, King, that's his office, Persia,

that's his territory. When Ponch's pilot put Jesus in the tomb,

he sealed it with the seal. They tied wax on

it so it could not be broken without breaking the seal,

and that wax was stamped Ponch's pilot, Governor Judea. When

Darius put Daniel in the lions, then they put a

seal on the stone, and that seal was stamped whose

name Darius? Some people say, Dorias, Darius. You can do

it either way, Darius, King, Mimuno Persia jays. You're gonna

have those three components that will be part of a seal.

It says it's going to be in the forehead between

our eyes. That is a symbol of our thoughts. Deuteronomy

eleven eighteen, Hebrews ten six. The hand is a symbol

of our actions Ecclesiastes nine ten and Psalms ninety, verse seventeen.

I want to read you a few verses. Friends, if

you want to understand revelation, Where do you go gotta

go to the Old Testament. Let the Bible interpret itself.

Start with me. Go to Exodus nine. See if I

can find this real quick. I think it's an Exodus nine.

Maybe it's Exitus thirteen. It's Exitus thirteen. Thank you, didn't

I tell you as dyslexic Exodus thirteen. Go to verse nine.

That's where I got mixed up. I knew there was

a nine in there. You read this speaking about the

Passover Covenant, and it shall be a sign for you

on your hand, and it will be a memorial between

your eyes. This is the Hebrew way of saying the forehead,

that the Lord's law may be in your mouth, a

sign hand forehead, the law of the Lord in your mouth.

Go to verse sixteen, same chapter. If you got your

bibles Sabbath morning, you ought to have your Bible on

your phone or you're in a book or something, right,

And if batteries go dead, then what are you going

to do? You need to know how to use the paper.

Version two. Go to verse sixteen. It shall be as

a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes.

For by strength of hand, the Lord brought us out

of Egypt. Go with me. Now to the book of

Deuteronomy chapter six. Deuteronomy chapter five. It's he gives the

ten commandments. You can check on me. Okay, Ronomy chapter five.

You've got the ten commandments. So you go to Deuteronomy

chapter six and look in verse eight. You shall bind

them as a sign on your hand, and they will

be frontlets between your eyes, and you shall write them

on the doorposts of your house and your gates, speaking

about the law of God on your hand between your eyes.

Go to verse eighteen, and you shall do what is

right and good in the sight of the Lord your God.

Oh no, that's not the verse I wanted. I want

to go to Deuteronomy chapter eleven. I think it's just

sometimes I pre mark these things, but I just wanted

to go. Yeah, Deuteronomy eleven. Go to verse eighteen. Therefore,

you shall lay up these words of minding your heart

and in your soul, and bind them as a sign

on your hand, and they shall be frontlet's between your eyes,

all right, friends, I've just read you four examples from

the Bible of what it means when it says on

your hand and in your forehead. Moses says in Deuteronomy

chapter six these words that command you this, they shall

be in your heart. Now, how many of you would

agree that that is an analogy for being in your affections?

Did he literally want them to cut open their chest

and put the Ten Commandments in there in the heart?

We all know, so it's safe to assume when he

says they shall be between your eyes. Are you supposed

to like nail the Ten Commandments? You know? There are

some Jews that took that seriously, and they hang philocties

from they're shawl, so they could say, I got the

Law between my eyes. That's not what God meant, and

they hang them off their wrists. The Lord wanted it

to be in their action, in their heart, in their mind.

So when it talks about the Seal of God being

in the mind, it means in your worship, the law

of God in your mind. If you have the Law

of God in your heart and in your head and

in your hand, you will not have the mark of

the beast. I just made the Bible really simple. If

you have the Law of God in your heart, it'll

then be in your hand and in your head. If

it starts in the heart, it'll be in the hand

and in the head. But those in the last days

that reject the law of God, they are deceived, and

they end up with the mark of the beast in

their hand and in their head. I will find out

more specifically what that means. So people that are telling

you don't let anybody tattoo six sixty six in your forehead,

as long as they can't take a stamp and go

six sixty six in your forehead, you won't have the

mark of the beast. That's what the devil wants us

to think. In fact, some of you are holding don't

hold up your hand, you're holding translations of the Bible

that mistranslate that in Revelation thirteen, it causes all small

and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive

a tattoo. There are actually some versions that say that,

and it is not in the original. It does not

say that. And everybody out there is waiting for this

beast power to try and tattoo them. They think it

just won't let anyone tattoo sixty six six in my

hand or forehead, and I'm safe. While they're getting the

mark of the beast, they're looking this way for the counterfeit,

and they're falling into the real thing. See, the devil

is a master deceiver, so you understand what it means.

In the hand and in the forehead, it's a symbol

which of the ten commandments contains all the elements of

a seal. Remember a seal has got what name, title, territory. Okay,

I got a copy of King Charles's new seal. He

just approved this in the last couple of months. It's

his official seal. You're actually looking at a reverse image.

I flipped it around because the seal is written backwards,

so when he presses it on something, it is forward right.

It's like when you look at ambulance in your rear

view mirror. You can read it because it's backwards on

the front of ambulance. So I flipped it over. But

what it says is Charles the Third and it's in Latin,

so I've translated some of it. Charles the third Sovereign

and it's got all the districts of Britannia because he's

king of several principalities. That's the government seal, the name,

the title, the territory. Where in the law of God

you find those things? What do you know? It's in

the Fourth Commandment. It's in the one commandment. God said

to remember that many Christians are forgetting for in six

days the Lord. That word there's Jehovah, his name created.

It's bigger than it looks in English. For you and me,

it means he made things out of nothing. He spoke

and it was done. He is the maker. He's also

the sustainer. Is in that word the heavens and the

earth and the sea, and all that is in them,

everything everywhere. You've got his name, his office, his territory

in the Fourth Commandment. And it is the only commandment

that has the word holy in it. And I've told

you that it is the holiest place on the planet.

Is where the ten Commandments are. Because you got the

Holy Land, you get the Holy City, in the Holy Mountain,

the Holy Temple, the Holy Place, the Holy of Holies,

the Holy arc, the Holy Law, and then the Sabbath.

The Holy Commandment. It's a commandment that requires time. And

you know, you the principal way we show our worship

for God is by giving him our time. You know,

only a few things are called holy in the Bible.

God calls the Sabbath holy. He says tithe is holy.

That means a percentage of your time belongs to God

in a special way. You're to set it aside. A

percentage of your money belongs to God in a special way.

Marriage is called holy. That means one hundred percent right

belongs in a holy way, one hundred percent commitment. So

only a few things are called holy. Holy matrimony is

one of them. Every seal contains three elements. The name

the Lord, his office he made or could he created.

He's a sustainer his territory, the heavens, the earth, the sea,

and all all means how much He made all everything

that is in them. His seal is found in the

heart of His law. It is the longest of the

ten commandments. It's the only commandment that begins with the

word remember, And it contains the word holy. What has

God given his as his special sign of his power?

What does the Bible say? Read in Ezekiel twenty verse twelve.

I also gave them my sabbath to be a what

a sign like that passover blood or the rope in

Reheb's window. I give it to them as a sign

between me and them, that they might know that I

am the Lord who does what sanctifies them. How many

of you need sanctification? Okay, we need that. It reminds

us every week that he's the one that will make

us holy. He sanctifies es. What else? Ezekiel twenty twenty.

Hollow my sabbaths, you know, as God does, say the

Jewish Sabbath. Hollow my sabbaths, and they will be a

what a sign between you and me that you might

know that I am the Lord your God. I am

your God. If you believe I am your god God,

then keep the day that I created back there in Genesis.

How many of us are related to Adam and Eve? Everybody?

I've got one more Exodus thirty one thirteen. Surely my

sabbath you shall keep, for it is a what a

sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you

might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

So it's a sign that he is our God. It's

a sign that he sanctifies It's a sign that he

created the heavens and the earth. Here's Exodus thirty one seventeen.

It is a sign between me and the children of

Israel forever. For in six days the Lord made the

heavens and the earth, and on the seventh that he

rested and was refreshed. You notice God is saying they

are following his example. Is it only Jews that follow

Jesus or do Christians follow Jesus. I've heard people use

this say, well, that's just for the children of Israel.

God is saying, look, I am the creator. I gave

this to them as an example to follow me. I

made them in my image. It's for all men, Jesus said.

The Sabbath was made for man, and the word man

that Jesus uses is anthropos, so it means humanity. It's

not talking about any one race. If you are human,

then it is made for you. We need this day

of rest, and He's told us that he has blessed

a particular day. So the Sabbath is a sign, it

is a seal, and it's a way that we reconnect

with our savior and our creator every week. You wouldn't

have the problems we have from the world today with

people believing that we've evolved if they'd remember every week

that we are created. Look in a dictionary, what day

of the week is the seventh day? Merriam Webster says,

The seventh day of the week is Saturday. We know

Jesus rose Sunday the first day, number five. What does

the second Beast of Revelation thirteen force all to receive?

We've learned the first beast. It speaks of Roman Catholicism,

and that would include the Orthodox churches, the Greek Orthodox,

of Russian Orthodox Coptic churches there in Europe, and then

you've got in America the Protestants. And this is the

second beast. What does the second Beast of Revelation thirteen

force all to receive? He causes all both small and great,

rich and poor, free enslaved to receive. What a mark

on their right hand the right hand is favor or

on their foreheads. They don't necessarily have both, it's one

or the other. Now, what does it mean if they've

got it in their hand, Well, it means their actions.

He causes them to get it in their forehead or

in their hand. The forehead would mean maybe they really

believe it and they worship the beast in his image.

In their hand, well, they want to be able to

buy and sell, so they do it in order that

they can go through with their number six? What is

the mark of the beast. They have no rest day

or night. Those who worship the beast in his image?

What is the sappath? The sign of Jesus has come

unto me. Matthew eleven, All you who are weary and

heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my

yoke upon you. Learn of me f I meek and

lowly in heart, and you will find rest. Because of

unbelief Hebrews chapter four, they did not enter into his rest.

God wants us to have peace. There is no rest,

says my Lord for the wicked. Isaiah tells us those

who worship the beast in his image, they don't have

the rest those who worship the mark of his name. Now,

if you want to be a good Catholic, you go

through the Catechism. It's a question and answer format. It's

actually not a bad way to teach. It's very effective.

That's why they say, if you give me. The Catholics

often say give me your children until they're ten years old.

There'll be Catholics their whole life because they teach them.

They indoctrinate them very carefully. Question. I didn't write this,

This is in their catechism. Question which day is the

Sabbath Day. Answer, Saturday is the Sabbath day question. Obvious question,

Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer? We

observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred

the Solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. He will think to

change times and laws. Does any man or church have

the power to change one of God's commandments?

No?

This is what started old Protestant Reformation. They said, No,

the church can create tradition to traditions of the church

more important than scripture. The Protestants said, sola scriptura, It

must be scripture, the word of God. Jesus said, the

wise man builds his house on what these words that

I have spoken. The foolish man is building on the

sand of man made traditions. Jesus said, why do you

observe your tradition and violate the commandments of God? Let

me give you another one Stephen Keenan a doctoral Catechism,

page one seventy four. Question, have you any other way

of proving that the Catholic Church has power to institute

festivals of precept make it a law? Answer? Had she

not such power, she could not have done that in

which all modern religionists agree with her, not all we don't.

She could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the

first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday,

the seventh day of the week, a change for which

there is no scriptural authority. They admit that they know that.

So here's the question. Will you God or man? That's

the question in the last days? Will you worship the

Beast in his laws or God and his law? Is

it in your heart? That's what it boils down to.

Jesus said, if you love me and keep my commandments,

Number seven is either the mark of the beast or

the seal of God visible? What have we learned? This

is the covenant that I will make with them after

those days, says the Lord. I'll put my law in

their war hearts and in their minds. Can I see

what's in your heart or mind? God? Says, Man looketh

on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart.

It's not something that you will see on the outside.

It's something you can see maybe in their actions. You'll

know them by their fruits. So the Devil's got the

world fooled into thinking that the mark of the Beast

is a credit card, or it's the bar code, or

it's a computer r FID chip that you know they

put in them all the dogs now so you can

find your missing dog. And these are just technologies, friends,

that's not the mark of the beast. Now, will the

Beast's power use technology to control buying and selling? No doubt.

I can count on that whatever your hand finds to do,

do it with your might. So what does that represent

talking about your actions? It shall be a sign to

you on your hand, a memorial between your eyes, that

the Lord's law may be in your mouth, And it's

in your mouth because it's in your heart. Where do

you get that, pastor Doug from Jesus Matthew chapter twelve.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

So if the law of God is in your heart,

it'll come out of your mouth. That's what it means

to have that sign in our hearts. Then I'm repeating

the verses I showed you earlier Deuteronomy eleven, verse eighteen.

Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in

your heart and in your soul, and bind them for

a sign on your hand. They will be as frontlets

between your eyes. You know, it's not an accident. Where

David managed to hit Goliath to bring him down? Where

did the stones sink in? What does a stone represent?

The Word of God, the Rock of Ages, Jesus, the

devil David, I should say, put it right between his eyes?

And how do we bring the devil down? Jesus said,

it is written, It is written, he hits Satan right

between the eyes. You ever heard that expression that gets

their attention. I don't want to get glory, but I

think there's a spiritual lesson in here. Jezebel good Queen

or bad Queen. She was a pagan queen that persecuted

the prophets of God. She tried to kill Elijen, She

killed many of the other prophets. She tried to get

rid of the worship of the True God and introduced

bail worship. She manipulated the government King Ahab. And what

you see happening with Jezebel and a half for three

and a half years during the time of that famine,

you see happening spiritually between Babylon and the kings of

the earth for one two hundred and sixty days at

three and a half spiritual years. So Jezebel is a

type of that woman. It says, Babylon has fallen and fallen.

She gets a terrible judgment there in Revelation, do you

know how Jezebel dies? Three eunuchs throw her out of

the window. In Jezreel, she hits the rock. She dies,

and she who feels bad He says, well, even though

she was a pagan queen, she was a queen. We

probably ought to go barrier. He sent a servants to

go barrier. That came back and this said. All we

found was her forehead and the palms of her hands

in the hand and in the forehead. Therefore you shoul

lay these words up. I'm sorry. Next verse, there are

works of iniquity. The act of violence is where in

their hands. It tells us that the hands represents the actions,

like if I say to you, hey, can you give

me a hand? I don't want you to cut off

your hand and throw it to me. I'm asking you

to give me some physical help. That's what we call

it manual labor. How do you say this? In Spanish?

Mano means manual labor. You get some help activity. Their

thoughts are thoughts of wasting and destruction. I'm going to

back up because I want you to notice these are

both coming from Isaiah fifty nine six and verse seven.

Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, wasting and destruction is

in their paths. Between the eyes and on the hand

are consistent symbols through the scripture for a person's thoughts

and actions. So it's going to deal with who do

you worship in the last days? That's whose mark you're

going to receive. For this is the covenant that I

will make with the House of Israel. After those days,

says the Lord, I will put my law in their mind,

and I'll write them on their hearts, and I will

be their God, and they will be my people. How

do we get the law of God in our hearts?

I remember hearing about this lady. She was a Christian.

She was married to a man that struggled with alcoholism,

and she this is back when you didn't get divorced

so easily, many years ago. He would go to the

saloon every day after work. He'd come home drunk, and

that he'd tell everybody, I've got the best wife in

the world. She was very patient with him. He prayed

for him every day. And one day in particular, he

came home very late and he and his friends were

arguing at the bar about who had the best wife.

And one guy said, I've got the best wife. She

keeps the house so clean. The other one says, I've

got the best wife. She's such a good mother. Another one,

this guy, said I've got the best wife. She's such

a great cook. And he said, and she is so patient,

so good. And then all he says, well, you all

come with me right now, and he put two or

three of his friends went stumbling over to this guy's house.

Late at night. He went stumbling the house. He woke

up his wife. He says, honey, I got some friends

I brought home. Can you get us something to eat?

And so she woke up, and she went downstairs and

she began to prepare a nice meal. And they began

to sober up, one by one, and they all felt

totally ashamed, and they said, you know, I think I

need to be going. They said, you win, You've got

the best wife. And then she's sitting there alone with

him at the table, and he puts in his hand

and he's hit in his hands and he starts to

sob uncontrollably, and he says, why are you so nice

to me? And I am so unkind to you. She said, honey,

I have Jesus, I have everlasting life. I'm going to

have joy through eternity. She said. I figure the only

happiness you're ever going to have is this life. So

I'm just trying to make as happy as I can.

And you know what, it broke his heart and he

gave up drinking. So how do we get the law

of God in our hearts? We look at Jesus hanging

on the cross for our sin, and he says, I

love you this much. I had a truck driver true story.

I wish I could remember his name. I'd be happy

to share. He wouldn't mind. He was driving down the

road and he was having all kinds of problems in

his relationship with his wife, problems at home, problems with God,

and he was thinking of driving his truck off the

road and killing himself. And he said, look, Lord, he says,

if you don't give me a sign, he says, I'm

going to kill myself because I can't go on like

this anymore. He said, I need a sign. I'm going

to need a big one. He said. He went around

the corner on the freeway and a Baptist church had

bought a billboard and then had a picture of Jesus

hanging on the cross with his arms stretched out, and

it said, I love you this much? Is this sign

big enough for you? True story?

He said.

I nearly ran off the road, he said. I pulled

over and started to cry. I gave my heart to

the Lord, and from then on I've never he came

back to church. He says, I've never doubted God's love.

Sometimes God has to do something to get our attention.

But that's what the Gospel's about. He changes your heart

and he gives you the power to obey. This is

a covenant. I'll put my law in their minds. I'll

write them in the heart. Number eight. How does Jesus

determine if we are His servants or not? The Bible says,

do you not know whom you present yourself slaves to obey?

You are that one slaves who you obey. You know

why there is so much suffering in the world today

is because God said to Adam, and he do not

disobey and eat the forbidden tree. I've given dominion of

the world to you. Adam and Eve listened to the devil.

The devil said, don't listen to God. He's hiding something

from you. Obey me. And the devil moved in and

he set up this planet as a beachhead. And that's

why so much happens in this world that God doesn't

want to happen. Not everything that happens in this world

is God's will. People are saying, of God is good.

Why did this happen? Why did that happen? It's because

there's a devil. It's because our first parents gave the

keys to the enemy. Jesus calls the devil the prince

of this world, and he came into this world and

he beat the devil at his own game, showing that

it is possible to obey God. He gave us an

example to show us what the Father's like and to

show the universe what the devil's government is really like.

At the cross, you can see the Devil's love for

power and Christ's power of love. So there's a battle

and it's almost over, friends, because the enemy knows that

he has but a short time for this is the

love of God that we do what we keep his commandments. Yes,

God is graceful. Yes we must have faith, but you

don't hear much these days about you prove that you

have faith by obeying. This is what James said. It's

easy to say I believe, I believe, But if we

don't obey, well you don't really believe, do you. It's

like another story I heard. This woman was married to

an alcoholic. She wasn't as nice as the first one,

and he used to come home every night and she

gets so tired of him coming home drunk, but she

locked the door and he'd be down there banging the door, saying,

come on, honey, let me and I'm sorry, please forgive me.

I won't do it again. You see, I got three

words for you. I love you. He'd be out there

bellowing and waking up the neighbors and pretty since she'd

given and she'd open the door and she'd let him in.

This happened time and again, week after week. Up drunk,

he'd make a big ruck as she'd get mad, she'd

lock the door. She'd eventually give in. He'd said three words,

I love you, I love you. She'd open the door. Finally,

one day she had it. He came bang another door.

He was drunk. She'd locked him out. He said three words,

three words, and she opened the window. She says, well,

I've got two words for you.

Prove it.

We say, God, I love you, I love you, I

love you. He says, if you love me, prove it.

Keep my commandments. The truth is that some really don't

love the Lord. They want just enough religion to fool themselves,

but they don't really want to obey God. It would

cost too much. I don't know, but I'm thinking that

people here know Jesus said it costs something to follow him.

Whosoever would come after me must deny himself daily, take

up his cross and follow me. So if you're looking

for a religion that's not going to cost anything. There

are a lot of churches that'll give you coffee and donuts,

whatever you want, make you feel good, but you won't

get to heaven if you love me. Keep my commandments.

Number nine. Does anyone have the mark of the beast? Now? No,

what's going to make the difference? Well, is there a

law yet that says that you can't buy or sell

unless you break God's law? Not yet. Eventually it'll say

when no man can buy or sell except him who

has the mark or the name of the Beast or

the number of his name. So if you go out

of this seminar, don't say Pastor Doug says that people

that go to church have the mark on Sunday have

the mark of the Beast. I am not saying that

it's going to come to that where you're going to

have to make a choice. Jesus said, the Gospel is

going to go into all the world for witness, and

when people have the witness, then they're going to make

a choice. And if they choose to go with what's

popular instead of what God commands, they will receive the

mark of the Beast. Right now, there is no universal

law that is compelling us to disobey the law of God.

And by the way, when it says here you cannot

buy or sell, that's going to be on a personal level.

Some people they're not going to be able to do business.

But are countries doing that now? Do they have something

called economic sanctions where one country is telling another country,

unless you cooperate, we will not do business with you,

and you cannot buy or sell. Where is the United Nations.

It's in America. That's where the second Beast is. And

they're ultimately going to be making laws that not only

on a personal level, but on a government level. And

unless people cooperate, they will not be able to buy

or sell as a governments. And then the governments will

put pressure on the people. See how that's going to happen.

Ultimately there will be a death decree. No man might

buy or sell except the one who has the mark

or the name of the Beast, or the number of

his name, number ten. What two things does the Antichrist

power attempt to change? Notice it says here in Daniel,

chapter seven, verse twenty five, he will intend to change

times and law. When you look at the ten Commandments,

how many of the ten commandments contain both a time

and law? There is only one, and that is the

Sabbath commandment the Pope, do you know? This is according

it says to credal date translate Episcopal cap This is

from the official Catholic writings, their teachings. The pope has

power to change times, to abrogate. That means change laws,

to dispense with all things, even the precepts. That means

the teachings of Jesus. I respectfully disagree. You can believe

whatever you want, but these are the official teachings, which

I think are dangerous. And you know what, very few

Protestants talk about this anymore. But they've not publicly retracted this.

These are still the official teachings. I showed this to

you the other day, but I know some are not

every meeting. This is a copy of the Ten Commandments

I took out on the lawn in front of one

of the Catholic churches in a town I will not name,

but you can find it printed in their own writings.

They eliminate the second commandment about idolatry. They maintained the

commandment about being, They maintained the number ten because they

split the tenth commandment about coveting. They say, you shall

not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not covet your

neighbor's goods. But they've taken out idolatry because it is

obviously it's very inconvenient, of course, and they admit this,

of course, the Catholic Church. Sorry, I gotta pause for

a second, because what happens is that gets on the

tape and we can't fix it right, So here it

says this is letter October twenty eighth one, eighteen ninety five.

Of course, the Catholic Church claims the change was her act,

and the act is a what they even say it,

the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical power, an

authority in religious matters, a mark that has been embraced

by most of the Daughters of Babelton. This is from

Saint Catholic Catholic Church Sentinel, a quote from their paper.

Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church

ever did, happened in the first century. It was actually

the third century. They're mistaken here. The Holy Day the

Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday, not from any

direction noted in the scriptures, but from the Church's sense

of its own power. People who think that the scriptures

should be the sole authority should logically become seventh day

administ and keep Saturday holy. Bless their hearts, as they

would say in Texas, I thank them for the endorsement.

What did Peter say when he was being tried? They said,

do not preach in the name of Jesus anymore. He

told the leaders of the Sanhedrin we ought to obey

God rather than man. No man has the power to

change the commandments of God. Number eleven. What was God's

criticism of his ancient priests or pastors? Notice specifically, what

God foretold was going to be a problem. But you

have departed from the way. You have caused many to

stumble at the law. You have not kept my ways,

but you've been You've shown partiality in the law. My

people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Notice they say

they believe the law, but they're being partial. My people

are destroyed by lack of knowledge. Well, some people don't know.

It doesn't sound fair for people to be destroyed because

they don't know. But notice what God says, because you've

rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being a

priest for me. Because you have forgotten the law of

your God, I will forget your children. That's a pretty

serious command, you know. It says in Deuteronomy chapter five.

I think it's verse twenty nine, Oh, that my people

would obey all of my commandments always that it might

be well with them and their children forever. I have

written for him the great things of my law. But

they were considered a strange thing. Now, when I find

I'm talking about the law of God, people get nervous.

They think this is legalism. No, friends, it's really love.

I remember another story. A woman married a man while

she was young. He was a military man. He looks

so good in a uniform. She wasn't using her head.

And not long after she got married, she found out

that he was very strict. He had a list for everything,

and before he'd go to work every day, he would

give her a list. He had a list for her day, said,

wake up six o'clock, start the fire. They used to

put coal on the fireback and make my breakfast, pack

my lunch, do the laundry, sweep the house, dust clean,

go to shopping to Yeah, he had her whole day

mapped out, and he'd come home at the end of

the day and he'd checked off the list. And I'll

just tell you what you probably knew. It wasn't a

very happy marriage, married to a military again that he'd

inspect well, by the grace of God. He died after

a few years, and she remarried, and she married a

man that she very much loved, and he very much

loved her. And for years, after years of happy marriage,

to this new man. One day, she was cleaning out

some stuff in the attic and she ran into one

of her first husband's lists, and even just looking at it,

the hair went up on the back of her neck.

The audacity of that monster. Wake up six o'clock. You

know I still wake up six o'clock. Start the fire?

Why still start the fire? Make my breakfast? Why make

his breakfast? Cleaning the house through the laundry. She looked

at the list, she said, I'm doing everything on the list.

But she didn't mind because there was a relationship. She

was not doing it to prove anything. She was doing

it because she loved the person. So when you love

the Lord, the law is not a problem. God is love.

The whole law is filled up in love, love for

God and love for your fubble man. What specific command

does God give to rebuke religious leaders for violating says?

You have despised my holy things? Can you profane my what?

The religious leaders were profaning the Sabbaths? Her priests violated

My laws and profaned by holy things. They have not

distinguished between the holy and the unholy, and they have

hidden their eyes from my what I tell you. I

know pastors that have done this. They say, Pastor Doug,

I know where you're coming from. I said, do you

want to study it? No, I don't want to study it,

said I know you know your Bible. I know this minister.

He was part of a ministerial group. All the ministers

in this community would get together once a week. They'd

pray for each other, they talk, they'd have a lunch together.

And then one of the Sunday ministers he started saying,

you know, I'm having a real problem in the summertime

getting my members that come to church. They're out skiing,

they're out doing other things, and they're all talking about, yeah,

we got that problem too. And they talked to the

one Adventist pastor that was their His name was Ken Phillips.

He said, Pastor Phillips, how do you deal with that?

And before he could answer, another one of them men said,

he doesn't have the same problem we have. He has

thus saith the Lord. So they come to church on Sabbath.

They know that they've hidden their eyes from these things.

Her prophets have plastered them with untempered mortar, seeing false

visions and divining lies for them, saying, thus saith the Lord.

When the Lord has spoken, I've heard the most ridiculous

things to try and do away with God's law number thirteen.

What specific sin does God command his leaders to denounce?

Cry aloud, spare not lift up your voice like a trumpet,

tell my people their transgression? Why does God want to

warn us to save us? If you turn away your

foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my

holy day? God calls it my holy day and call

the sabbath a delight? Is that a bad thing? Holy

of the Lord and honorable? Then you will delight yourself

in the Lord. And I'll cause you to write upon

the high places of the earth because the mouth of

the Lord has spoken it. God promises it. It's going

to be a blessing. He wants to bless you. Friends,

When you decide to fully accept Jesus and follow him,

what will happen? The Bible says, Thus says the Lord.

Stand in the ways and see and ask for the

old paths where the good way is, and walk in it,

and you will find rest. Jesus said, come to me,

and you will find rest. He wants you to have

rest for your souls. Jesus said, take my yoke upon

you learn from me. I am gentle and lowly, and

you will find rest for your souls. Friends, Peace and

rest comes from surrender. God wants you to have peace

in your life. There is no problem you have that

God cannot solve. Putting Jesus first is the best solution

to any problem in your life, putting everything in God's hands.

And once again, I'd be out of place if I

didn't give you an opportunity to make a decision. You

came in and in your lesson, there's another card I'd

like to encourage. Please put your name on the card

somewhere not here another nights and so I want to

give you an opportunity and ask you some very important

simple questions. Put down your name, some way to contact

your phone number. What did you like now to move

under his glorious Sabbath banner as evidence that you've chosen

Him as your creator and the one who sanctifies you. Now,

this is a very sacred time. I invite you to

be still. I know that maybe a crowd out there,

bottleneck yetting out, but I want you to know the

Holy Spirit's moving right now, and I hope you're praying.

Question number one I've accepted Jesus as my savior, and

I desire to follow where he leads. The first the

most important thing. You notice the Sabbath. These other things

that won't make sense unless you first come to Christ.

You got to give them your heart. Please mark yes

on your envelope if that's your desire. Second question, I

choose the seal of God over the mark of the beast.

You want to receive that sacred seal, Please mark that

on your envelope. Say yes. You know. I know some

of you are struggling right now, and I'm praying that

God will give you grace to make the right decision.

Question number three, I want to keep all ten of

the ten Commandments, including the Sabbath day. Mark that on

your envelope. And then the fourth. Maybe there's some of

you and you're struggling with this subject and you want

to say, passa Doug, pray for me. I'd like further studies.

Please turn in your envelope. Whatever your decision is, we

want to pray over you. You might have a prayer

request you want to put on the back you are

watching online. You can contact Amazing Facts three ABEN let

them know about you. Your decision to follow Jesus. We

will help you get a new beginning, a new life,

and be ready for what's coming. Is that your desire?

You know what I thought would be nice way to

close the program. How about we sing our theme song

if you like. I'd like to invite Shana, if she's

able to come up right now, why don't we stand together.

We're gonna sing beautiful, Beautiful, and then we're gonna close

with a word of prayer.

A little beautiful Jesus sies beautiful and Jesus space beautiful, Esus,

Jesus space.

Mine nor.

A Cuchiessus.

The fool is what fast.

And the fever cross street.

Leave fy

Loving Lord, We thank you for this beautiful Sabbath day,

for the way that you've been moving on hearts and

minds through your word during these meetings.
