1 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,480 Revelation Chapter 6. Please open your Bibles to 2 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,920 Revelation Chapter 6 title. This morning's message is Left 3 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,440 behind. Some of you would have seen 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,880 who's seen the Left Behind movie, anyone. 5 00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:23,880 Some of you Nicholas Cage won and there was the one right way 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,760 way back. Remember the music from the old 7 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,040 ones? It was so bad. 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,720 Your Christian movies were slow. Yeah, it looks like my cousin 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,280 across the road made that at school. 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,640 But they had a message. Revelation Chapter 6, when I 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,800 asked you a question. What does the future hold, do 12 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,320 you think? More specifically, what does 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,680 your future hold? The answer to the question 14 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,000 totally depends upon your relationship with Jesus Christ. 15 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,040 It's the most important decision that you and your children need 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,160 to make. Parents, that's your mission. 17 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,120 Husbands, wives, if you're married to someone who is not a 18 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,640 believer, that's your mission for you. 19 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,480 I think too often we want to go off and save the world. 20 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,280 We want to go and do this and we want to go to Africa and places 21 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,040 like that and, you know, the jungles of New Guinea and we 22 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,960 want to go on a mission field. But meanwhile, the person that 23 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:40,200 lives in our very own house doesn't know the Lord under the 24 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,440 same roof. And I want you to be careful 25 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,440 because I've seen it too often where people head off and the 26 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,320 people at home go, well, why should I? 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,680 Why would I even love church? I believe in church because I'm 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,680 not counted, I'm not part of it, and it's a bad deal. 29 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,520 It's not wise to do that if you're the only Christian in 30 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,040 your workplace. So often you'll pray. 31 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,639 I wish I was. Could be in a Christian School 32 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,520 or a Christian work environment, work at a church or something 33 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,080 like that where other Christians. 34 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,440 No, God has you there because he needs light and salt and you're 35 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,680 his representative. Jesus wants to be there. 36 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,800 You're him there so, so often we we, we read books about, you 37 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,160 know, Livingston and others who travelled the world and that and 38 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,200 that's all well and good and that's specific callings and we 39 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,720 have responsibilities. My responsibility is to Helen, 40 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,160 my wife. Our responsibility was to our 41 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,760 children to see that they raised loving God. 42 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,880 Now our responsibility as grandchildren is to pray for our 43 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,680 grandchildren and to help in any way that we can to see each of 44 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,760 them come and receive Christ as their Lord and Saviour. 45 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,080 That's it. Yes, I have other mission 46 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,280 fields, but I that's where I need to work very, very hard at 47 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,480 what I'm to do otherwise I'm a fake going elsewhere otherwise. 48 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,600 So the answer to the question on your future is based upon your 49 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,680 relationship with Jesus Christ. For a believer, if you're here 50 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,200 today and you're a Christian, then you have a glorious future. 51 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,520 All the songs that we sang this morning, most of them were 9095% 52 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,360 scripture out of the Book of Revelation. 53 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,920 If you're an unbeliever here, maybe you've just come to check 54 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,440 out or you know haven't made a decision for Christ At the 55 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,720 moment, where you stand or where you sit, literally massive 56 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,520 trouble lays ahead of you. Massive trouble, as we'll see in 57 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,920 the Book of Revelation. Another question is what is 58 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,000 going to happen on the earth after Christ has removed his 59 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,120 church from it, after the rapture of the church has 60 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,920 occurred? What's going to happen then? 61 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,840 Well, in chapters four and five of the Book of Revelation, 62 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,080 chapter 4, John was caught up into heaven, a type of the 63 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,760 rapture, a shadow. And he sees the throne of God 64 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,560 and we, we see that he like us, the church is there. 65 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,280 We see the church there and we're, we're worshipping the 66 00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:25,080 Lord. In chapters 4 and chapter 5, we 67 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,520 and we alone are able to sing the song. 68 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,120 People from all tribes, tongues and nations, we've gathered 69 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,480 together, we singing about our redemption to the throne of God. 70 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,800 We're a massive choir. We're practising now what we're 71 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,920 learning here is how we're going to sing. 72 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,400 When it says we sing a new song, the angels Can't Sing. 73 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,160 Remember we learned that the angels say worship and praise, 74 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,000 but they don't sing like you and I can sing. 75 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,320 It says in Ephesians 5, we can sing unto the Lord, sing with 76 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:03,240 the Spirit of God. Worship breaks out and then John 77 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,400 in chapter 5 we sang about this morning goes through a time of 78 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,360 great grief. The only time we read of tears 79 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,560 being in heaven as he sees the throne and on the right hand of 80 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,640 the Father on the throne is the scroll sealed with 7 seals. 81 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,960 The title deed of planet Earth lost by Adam, forfeited by Adam 82 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:32,240 and now Satan rules this world and no one is able to who's 83 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,960 worthy? No one's worthy to come claim 84 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,520 the throne, claim back what was lost. 85 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,480 We learned about that, how that works and the laws of redemption 86 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,440 in the land. And then Jesus steps forward. 87 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,640 John was told look up over, look over there. 88 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,240 What does he see? A lamb as it had been slain. 89 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,000 The only man made things in heaven. 90 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,320 We see Jesus standing. He had seated after he rose from 91 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,640 the dead and sat by the right hand of the Father, a man sat 92 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,040 down. And then in chapter 5, we see 93 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,120 the land standing as it had been slain. 94 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,640 The word slain in the Greek was butchered, slaughtered, the 95 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,840 marks of the crucifixion still there. 96 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,600 We will see them. He takes the scroll and then he 97 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,280 begins to break the seals. We looked on Wednesday night and 98 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,720 you're going to, I'm not going to go back on Wednesday night. 99 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,360 That's for you to do. Wednesday night we had the first 100 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,040 horseman of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. 101 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,840 Let's pray for that little one. God bless that little child. 102 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:45,520 Help them in Jesus name. Paul tells us after the 103 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,360 restraining force of the church in Second Thessalonians has been 104 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,960 removed. You and I are. 105 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,840 You think things are bad if we weren't here? 106 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,560 Things are going to and they're going to get much, much worse. 107 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,600 We're restraining because the Holy Spirit and the Church is 108 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880 restraining against the works of Satan. 109 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,920 The Second Thessalonians, chapter 2, verse six, that which 110 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,160 is restraining is remove the rapture. 111 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,400 We see now the stage is set for the Lawless 1, the Antichrist, 112 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,240 the rider on the 1st right horse. 113 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,240 He appears and the first seal is broken. 114 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,520 He comes on a White Horse. He appears on this world scene a 115 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,800 world political leader, and he has got all the answers. 116 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,880 He's got all the speech. He's the world's greatest 117 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600 orator. He has charisma and he has 118 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,720 intelligence. He has the personal power of 119 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,280 Satan working through him, and he brings peace. 120 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,360 Finally. Why all this? 121 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,400 But it's a temporary peace. He solves the problem in Gaza, 122 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,800 on the Temple Mount, between the Jews, between the Muslims and 123 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680 the rest of the world. And the world goes, oh, finally 124 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,000 this guy's good. He's smooth. 125 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,120 Well, today we move on from him. And now Jesus breaks the second 126 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,880 seal, verse 3 of chapter 6, when he had opened Jesus's opening 127 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,760 the second seal, I heard the second living creature say come, 128 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,080 the antsy are added. So it just says come another 129 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,880 horse. The second horse, this one's 130 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,640 red, fiery red, went out and was granted. 131 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,760 God is giving. Remember God is in control of 132 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,880 everything. So the plan of God is happening. 133 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,840 It was granted to the one who sat on it and noticed what He 134 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,760 does to take the peace that have been brought by the White Horse 135 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,160 from you Didn't last long. Isn't it funny how politicians 136 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,560 love you and yeah, we're going to. 137 00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:56,040 Well, look after you no problem. Oh, yeah, I think if you. 138 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,280 Yeah. No, we. 139 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,560 We can't do that. I know we said, but we can't. 140 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,840 And it. There's a change, isn't it? 141 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,880 So the peace is taken. So if the peace is taken, what's 142 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:13,200 the opposite war and it says and that people should kill one 143 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,320 another. And there was given to him a 144 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:25,320 great sword. The Antichrist will head a 145 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,920 revived Roman Empire. Daniel chapter 2. 146 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,800 Daniel saw the image that Nebuchadnezzar dreamt of. 147 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:36,520 Then he tells us who it is and all the nations that would be 148 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,880 the empires starting with the Babylonians on down feet, legs 149 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,360 of clay toes iron. That's Roman. 150 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,680 The Romans were the only ones who were conquered. 151 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,000 These fell the bits. Well, it's going to be revived. 152 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,080 Daniel chapter 2 talks about that and Daniel Chapter 7 talks 153 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,360 about this revive we're nations. These nations will give their 154 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640 power over to the Antichrist. Don't think he's the anticants. 155 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:12,000 Three of them will actually give their sovereignty over to the 156 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,240 Antichrist. So that we don't want a Prime 157 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,480 Minister, we don't want a government EUR. 158 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,560 Three of them will do that. Daniel 7, Daniel 7. 159 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,880 We see it today as the European Union. 160 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,600 You can travel across Europe as borders are down. 161 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:34,840 We have the euro, they actually meet in the parliament and he 162 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,480 will lead the western world of this European Union regathering 163 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:45,080 and there will be a final conflict against the armies of 164 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:52,840 the East, the Asian nations before armies. 165 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,720 There will be the Northern Federation in Russia and its 166 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,960 allies will be part of this battle. 167 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,840 The last great battle, the King of the South, it says that is a 168 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,880 North African combined force. So there's 4 armies in total 169 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,440 will meet kings of the EE, the Asiatic nations gathering 170 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,480 together, telling us that the river Euphrates will dry up and 171 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,040 they'll March to where's, where's this battle and this, 172 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,840 this war going to finally be Israel is going to be when you 173 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,040 travel to Israel and you go around the old city and I pray 174 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,640 that you can join us. Lord willing, we get there in 175 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,440 January 2027. Not that far away. 176 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,800 You think Bullet holes are in the city and Mars are in the 177 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,280 city. It's been there that long. 178 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,160 And which war is this from? And our guide down here, he'll 179 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,880 tell you which calibre that is and what weapon that was and all 180 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,560 this sort of stuff. And all the Tri, all the nations 181 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:56,600 from Babylon, Medes and the Persians and the Grecians and 182 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,080 the Romans, they all warned against one another. 183 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,560 Guess where? Who is in the middle all the 184 00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:03,320 time? Through Israel I go bakery 185 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,200 through Israel I go and and Israel was always the crampling 186 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,400 grant. Well, this final conflict, the 187 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,320 battle will be in Israel. Israel is on the world political 188 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,280 scene now and it ain't going to move. 189 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,640 Revelation 1612 The kings of the East, they will eventually 190 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,440 challenge the authority of the Antichrist rule the West. 191 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,920 They will come against him in Israel. 192 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,480 Revelation 1616. And they gathered them together 193 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,240 to the place called in Hebrew Armageddon. 194 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,080 It's the valley between Mount Carmel. 195 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,800 When we go to Israel, we go up to Mount Carmel, we go to 196 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,720 Caesarea. From Caesarea we drive up, we go 197 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,680 up to Mount Carmel. And on the top of Mount Carmel, 198 00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,080 remember what happened there. The prophets of Baal were 199 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,440 deceived by Elijah. As you stand on Mount Carmel, 200 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,840 you look over from Mount Carmel. Down there is the valley of 201 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,200 Jezreel and Megiddo. That valley runs all the way 202 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,640 down. The conflict will be there and 203 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,080 run and flow into Jerusalem itself. 204 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,960 Such will be the battle. It will be here in chapter 19 205 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,320 that God will deal in judgement with the gathered nations, all 206 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,320 those armies, and it says He will deal with them. 207 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,280 He'll return then because of their persecution of Israel. 208 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,440 It's interesting what's happening around the world now. 209 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,720 Hear what the prophet Joel says. Joel chapter 3, verse 2. 210 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,600 I will also gather all nations. So these are the four major 211 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,680 Confederate armies of all the nations who will gather in 212 00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:54,000 Jezreel Megiddo. I will bring them down to the 213 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,200 Valley of Jehoshaphat. There is no such place as the 214 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,560 Valley of Jehoshaphat. In geographical terms, it means 215 00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:07,920 the Lord of Judges, and I will enter into judgement with them 216 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,880 there. And why? 217 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,720 Joel goes on to say, on account of my people, I'm going to 218 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,040 gather them together. They're coming to fight one 219 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,480 another, but I'm gathering there because I'm going to pour out 220 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:25,000 judgement upon them. MyHeritage is Israel, Joel says, 221 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,040 whom they have scattered among the nations. 222 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,360 All these nations got stuck into the Jews, and they're doing that 223 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,880 now. And they have also divided up my 224 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,600 land. I find that interesting and Job 225 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,680 because how do you think the Prince of the lawless one, the 226 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,560 first horse rider will bring about this this this peaceful 227 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,920 reign? Will Israel finally have to 228 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,720 relent? So OK, Gaza and that there it'll 229 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,560 be you. They're not saying it now, but 230 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,280 here it says they have also divided up my land. 231 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,280 Is that what is going to be the negotiating agreement where 232 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,120 Israel will sign the covenant, the agreement with the first 233 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,080 horseman so that they can rebuild the temple? 234 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,400 Yeah, you sign this, you can rebuild the temple. 235 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,640 You can go on the temple Mount. Worship can begin seven year 236 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,480 agreement. But notice, Joel, God says they 237 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,880 have also divided up my land. You know, here, the shouts from 238 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,120 the river to the sea, from the river to the sea. 239 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,120 I get so angry over those people. 240 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:50,120 It's God's land, it's his land, He gave it to Abraham, it's 241 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,440 God's land. The rise of the European 242 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,760 military, economic and political power of this revised Roman 243 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,200 Empire of nations under the White Horse rider, the 244 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,280 Antichrist, the EU will be due to the leadership and he's going 245 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,240 to be a smart man of the first horse rider, the man of sin, the 246 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:20,760 lawless 1 and the Western world will hail this man as their 247 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:26,440 Messiah, their Messiah. He is the world's choice of 248 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,000 Messiah because if you reject God, you've got to choose 249 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,600 somebody else. Bob Dylan wrote. 250 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,240 You don't worship him, you're going to be worship somebody. 251 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,480 Jesus said if you're not for me, you're against me. 252 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,240 You make a choice. It's not that interesting at the 253 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,480 timing right now where we stand of what Trump has done to NATO 254 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,240 and to the European nations. He said, you guys go to war now, 255 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,840 don't expect us come and bail you out anymore because you're 256 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,640 only putting some of you putting in no money, something you're 257 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,320 putting in one percent, 2% into your military and defence 258 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,240 expenditure. So he said that. 259 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,440 He says you're on your own and I've got whoa, what are we going 260 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,000 to do? He says I'm going to raise the 261 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,720 tariffs until you do something about that. 262 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,560 So he did. And so now what are the NATO and 263 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:28,040 other EU nations doing? They're spending more now, 5% 264 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,400 plus of their GDP. What's it going to military 265 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:40,520 defence systems because the Antichrist, he's going to have a 266 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,880 great army and it's getting built now. 267 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:46,840 Isn't that interesting the timing of how this has happened? 268 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,240 He said to nation to to Australia and Trump said, you 269 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,080 guys, you don't what, what are you spending? 270 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,800 We're spending 3%. We don't have enough bullets for 271 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,880 our guns. Now you know, we're we're it's 272 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,200 like Dad's Army Australia. It's just terrible. 273 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:10,320 I remember a friend of mine when he joined up for Nashos and he 274 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,760 went in and he said we didn't have enough guns then and he 275 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,600 said we trained. He said no, no, no. 276 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,760 He says we trained with broom animals. 277 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,160 So the blokes used to joke when they're on guardian. 278 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,160 Oh, or I'll fill your full of white ants. 279 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,240 Our Prime Minister is still not relented on this in August. 280 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,200 The deal is hanging in there. We don't know what's going to 281 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:49,040 happen, but I tell you, the timing of this building of the 282 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,720 European army is now it's happening. 283 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,920 Why? Because the Antichrist is 284 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,280 getting ready. It's near. 285 00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:03,040 It's near. We're in that time. 286 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:13,440 God has thus far till now, until this moment in time in Bible 287 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,520 prophecy, been very patient with man, even though people have 288 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,120 been allowed to blasphemy God. We sit constantly, even though 289 00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:26,560 now people live and behave in gross, immoral lifestyles, 290 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:33,960 defiant before him. But when this man, the White 291 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,400 Horse and the wars that break out with the second horse, the 292 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,280 red horse demands to be worshipped as God and he will 293 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,720 halfway through the agreement, Israel has rebuilt the temple. 294 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,200 So they're going to rebuild the temple. 295 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,360 They're ready. The priests are ready. 296 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,040 All the implements have been built. 297 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,880 They just need the OK, they're waiting for the Messiah to say 298 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,520 you can build. And so when this man. 299 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,440 After 3 1/2 years, the Jews have been, you know, going, having 300 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,800 worship and everything isn't this wonderful? 301 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,800 We're back to work. We're sacrificing the priests 302 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,440 and, and Israel is this peace and everything. 303 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,440 Then halfway through, Daniel says he'll walk into the holy of 304 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,720 boys, sit down and says now worship me. 305 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,960 I'm gone. Besides that, I'm going to put 306 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,560 up an image of me in here because you're not allowed, not 307 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,640 allowed to have any images. It's 10 commandments and from 308 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:41,760 that moment, 3 1/2 years in to the seven year period Mark 1314, 309 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,760 Jesus says when you see the abomination of desolation spoken 310 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,280 of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not let 311 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,760 the reader understand. Jesus said, then let those who 312 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,400 are in Judea, because it's going to happen in Jerusalem, flee to 313 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,800 the mountains, take off. Jesus said, I pray that you're 314 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,000 not pregnant. I pray there's the winter not 315 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000 snowing. Run for your lives. 316 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaking to the Jews when this occurs, Jesus said to the Jews 317 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,560 living at that moment in the tribulation period, 3 1/2 years 318 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,160 in to flee. Why? 319 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,120 For from that moment the Jews will be haunted down because 320 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:30,360 they won't take a mark. They won't bow down to an image. 321 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:37,880 They won't worship any other God but the God of Israel, Job, and 322 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,000 everyone who refuses to take that mark, including the Jews, 323 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,440 the Antichrist mark will be haunted down and killed. 324 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,800 Christians, you know, are sealed. 325 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,120 We're sealed already. If you're a born again believer 326 00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:56,840 here today, you have the seal of the Holy Spirit. 327 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,080 You can't see it. It's not a marker that you can 328 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:04,440 see Ephesians 430 and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby 329 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,440 we are sealed unto the day of redemption. 330 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,840 And the sealing comes from the language of when we would ship 331 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,360 goods overseas and we would have what was called signet rings. 332 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,720 And so I would all the stuff that I'm sending to England, 333 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,280 there'd be a marketplace wax mark and I'd get my signet ring 334 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,480 and I'd bang, bang, bang, seal it and say that's mine. 335 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,720 And that's where it's going to go. 336 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,240 We're sealed. We're sealed because God has 337 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,840 sealed us. We're going to go to heaven. 338 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,240 That's it. We're owned by him. 339 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,720 But what happens is the Antichrist, he has his copies, 340 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,200 everything. He's the counterfeit. 341 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,600 So he's going to put a seal on, but he's actually going to mark 342 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,400 people. In Revelation chapter 12 verse 343 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:51,080 6, it says then the woman fled Israel during this time at the 344 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,160 Antichrist goes into the temple demands to be worshipped that 345 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:00,160 everyone's going to receive my mark to show that you worship me 346 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,640 that I'm your God. And the woman fled into the 347 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,480 wilderness where she has a place prepared by God that they should 348 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,840 feed her and it tells her there 1260 days. 349 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,920 We believe that's the rock city of Petra, Jordan. 350 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,720 And so now the judgement of God truly begins with the opening of 351 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:31,520 the second seal, the second Red Horse causes the following wars 352 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,880 begin breaking out all over the world. 353 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,520 Eventually, as we mentioned previously, leading to the final 354 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,800 great battle in Megiddo. All the nations will be gathered 355 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:48,760 for one final slaughter. God's plan, Revelation 1919 And 356 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,880 I saw the beast, that's the Antichrist. 357 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,480 I saw the kings of the earth, all the leaders of these 4 358 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,720 armies and their armies gathered together to make war against him 359 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,320 who sat on the horse and against his army. 360 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,800 Our world has experienced thus far two world wars. 361 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,320 How sad it was after World War One, we thought that's the war 362 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:14,880 to end all wars. In two world wars, 75 to 85 363 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,520 million people died. That's not injuries, it's just 364 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:24,720 deaths, mainly civilians and many war, more wars have 365 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,960 followed since Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, you know. 366 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,600 But now our weaponry has changed from the old three O 3 and 367 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,760 artillery weapons have changed dramatically, haven't they? 368 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,680 We saw those B2 bombers used to bring their great bombs to drop 369 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:49,840 bombs on Syria. Sorry in Iran on their nuclear 370 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:57,600 weapon sites. The devastation that exists in 371 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,200 one submarine now nuclear powered. 372 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,680 Amazing the distance they can travel. 373 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:10,600 Atomic, nuclear warheads, massive bombs, chemical and 374 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:19,000 biological warfare. Drones now that can track a 375 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,320 person and be sent off. Unmanned craft, now including 376 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,840 tanks. Missiles that can travel 377 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,440 continents at speed. It's frightening what will be 378 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:39,840 unleashed during the time of the second seal, plus what happens. 379 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,240 The nuclear fallout from these weapons will be devastating as 380 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,880 bombs go, and the nuclear residue radioactive will be 381 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,960 carried by the winds of the world to all sorts of locations. 382 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,440 Verse 5 when the lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third 383 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,480 living being saying come. I looked up and saw a Black 384 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,560 Horse and it's rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 385 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,160 I heard a voice from among the four living beings saying a loaf 386 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,880 of wheat bread, 3 loaves of barley will cost a day's pay. 387 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,520 Don't waste the olive oil and wine. 388 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:27,000 The Black Horse following the wars from the red horse that 389 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,760 will break out worldwide because of the devastation of war. 390 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,640 We see that with ancient orange just even in in Vietnam and the 391 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,800 accompanying nuclear and radioactive fallout. 392 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:45,480 There will be a great this will be a worldwide famine, not just 393 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,160 in one Ethiopia or just this country or this land there. 394 00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:54,240 It will be a worldwide famine that our world has never 395 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,000 experienced before. Food. 396 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,160 It will be so lean. Food, such an item, desperate 397 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,800 for people to have it, will cost a full day's wage of a working 398 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:15,480 man, which in Australia today is $174.65 minimum to purchase one 399 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,920 loaf of bread. Just one loaf of bread. 400 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,880 The oil and wine mentioned are indicative here. 401 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,880 Don't touch them. It says of the wealthy of the 402 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,840 world still being able to survive during their famine 403 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,400 period due to their great wealth. 404 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,240 But their time will come. For in Revelation chapter 1811, 405 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:45,560 Babylon the business Babylon the business Babylon will be 406 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,000 destroyed. And it says on the merchants of 407 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,760 the earth shall weep and mourn over her, for no man buys their 408 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,680 merchandise anymore. Wiped out. 409 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,760 When the lamb broke the 4th seal, I heard the 4th living 410 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,280 creature say come. I looked up and saw a horse 411 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,000 which colour was pale green. And I stepped to go to the 412 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,720 morgue a lot, sadly, with my old work job with the police. 413 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,840 And as bodies start to no matter what, even if they're chilled, 414 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,560 they get this, this, this coloured green starts coming as 415 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,600 you start to perish. And that's this colour described 416 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,440 here. His writer was named Death. 417 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,680 His companion was the grave. These two were given authority 418 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:37,320 over 1/4 of the earth, 1/4 of the entire world's population to 419 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:44,120 kill with the sword, famine, disease, and wild animals. 1/4 420 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,520 of the world's total population will perish at this time. 421 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,480 There's still more yet to come. Worse, but the quarter of the 422 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,520 world's population will die because of the wars and the 423 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,680 famines that break out, the disease that breaks out from 424 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,640 those and wild animals. It says because the world's just 425 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,600 going to go chaos. Wild animals, hunting dogs, 426 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:15,000 trying to find somewhere to eat to survive at that moment in 427 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,600 time. That amount of people equates on 428 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:23,240 our current population to build 2 billion people who will not 429 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,320 survive. And we've only broken 4 seals. 430 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,720 The horror of that is to fall upon our earth at this time, 431 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,480 once the church has been taken out, raptured, and God begins to 432 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,040 unleash His judgement upon earth because of its sinfulness is 433 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,920 unimaginable. Because by the time we get to 434 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:49,560 Revelation Chapter 9, verse 15, another 1/3 of the remaining of 435 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,560 the world's population will perish. 436 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:57,200 That's another 2 billion, leaving just 4 billion people 437 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,240 for the total planet. That's half. 438 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,360 That's one. And every second person will be 439 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,320 gone. That's massive. 440 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,600 That's nine. When you open the 5th seal, I 441 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,000 saw under the altar the souls of those who had been. 442 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,280 Notice this follow along with me who had been slain for the word 443 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,680 of God and for the testimony which they held. 444 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,520 And they cried with a loud voice to God, saying, How long, O Lord 445 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:33,680 Pauline, true, until you judge and avenge our blood. 446 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,440 And notice who killed them on those who dwell upon the earth. 447 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,480 This is as I said, earth dwells. And those who dwell upon the 448 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,680 earth is a significant term throughout the Book of 449 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,640 Revelation. These are people who have 450 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,280 rejected God, that want anything to do with God. 451 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,920 They're happy with the Antichrist. 452 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,840 They're happy with the way the world is. 453 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,120 It had nothing to do with God. That term pops up throughout, 454 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:03,200 and it is these who have been part of judging and killing 455 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,280 those Christians in the Tribulation period says. 456 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,760 Then a white robe was given to each of them, and it was said to 457 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,240 them that they should rest a little while longer. 458 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,600 Why? Until both the number of their 459 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,840 fellow servants born to die and their brethren brothers in 460 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:28,480 Christ who would be killed as they were, was completed during 461 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,480 the Tribulation period, there is going to be the greatest number 462 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,960 of people come to Christ this world has ever seen. 463 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,920 That's this group. We find these souls under the 464 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,760 altar of God, people who have been martyred during the 465 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,160 Tribulation period, and they're asking entrance into the 466 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,280 heavenly scene. How long before they can enter, 467 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,320 when the Lord raptures His church before the tribulation 468 00:31:55,320 --> 00:32:01,640 begins, that events will trigger enormous consternation to those 469 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:09,280 who have heard all that we that you and I have shared like today 470 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,080 with them about Bible prophecy in the last days of what's 471 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,920 coming, the moment of this event, the rapture, the rapture 472 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,920 of the church as it's occurred will hit people who we've 473 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,800 witnessed to. And they said, no, I'm not 474 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,080 interested, too busy, don't have time. 475 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,320 We'll hit them like a tonne of pricks. 476 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:40,440 It will be a damning day. And they'll go, Oh no, what they 477 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,160 told me, what she said, what he said, it's happened. 478 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,920 There will be a time of great wailing, grief and distress by 479 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:59,480 those left behind who at that moment the rapture occurs. 480 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,360 With the sudden disappearance of every believer, every Christian 481 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,920 will understand exactly what has just happened. 482 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:13,480 Millions are missing, gone. These people left behind will 483 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,200 realise that the Lord has indeed raptured His Church and they now 484 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,600 are left behind. And now they have enough 485 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,760 knowledge to know that the earth is about to enter A7 year period 486 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,200 of the judgement of God because they rejected God. 487 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,800 And that now a period of cataclysmic events, because 488 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,240 we've spoken about them, we've shared with them with massive 489 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,520 waves of destruction and death are about to be unleashed. 490 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,720 They were realised because of their carelessness, not 491 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,000 interested, their personal dismissiveness. 492 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,280 Well, maybe later, I know you what you're saying is true, but 493 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,480 maybe later their deliberate cold shoulder to God's warnings 494 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,160 that God's judgement is coming now upon the earth just like 495 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:08,480 Noah preached 120 years. But because, and here's the good 496 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,679 part, but because we have told them, because we have warned 497 00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:17,880 them, I hope you are, I hope you're hearing this today, that 498 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,520 when this man of sin comes into power, his system to manage the 499 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:28,719 world's economy with this cashless mark and by his law and 500 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:35,040 personal mandate force everyone to receive his mark on their 501 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,920 right hand or upon their forehead. 502 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,239 Otherwise you'll be unable to trade, to buy, to sell, to do 503 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,800 business without this mark of identification. 504 00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:51,400 These people left behind will have some of them enough 505 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,960 knowledge and sense not to take the mark. 506 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:04,960 In Revelation 1316 it says he causes all, both small and 507 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,480 great, rich and poor. Is the Antichrist free and 508 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,560 slave? Who's that? 509 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,520 It's everybody. It's the world, everybody to 510 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,760 receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and 511 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:25,080 that no one, no exceptions, may buy or sell, except one who has 512 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,720 the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his 513 00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:30,080 name. Here is wisdom. 514 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,040 Let him who was understanding calculate the number of the 515 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,680 beast for his the number of man. His number is 666. 516 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,200 Can you remember? And you can. 517 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,600 You don't like him? How the world changed overnight 518 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,560 with COVID. You remember it changed. 519 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,440 I know. I was on the road blocks with 520 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,480 the police. Sorry, you can't. 521 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,880 You've got to stay in that zone. Sorry, you can't go here. 522 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,360 Can't go there. Remember how it changed? 523 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:03,000 You couldn't go out. I did weddings and funerals in 524 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,920 that time. A wedding, 5 people, including 525 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:11,760 myself, so there's four others. Bridegroom, 2 witnesses funeral, 526 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,720 10 people Max. Me, funeral person, eight 527 00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:19,520 members of a family. No matter how many in the 528 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,800 family, only 8 going to Caracatta. 529 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,720 Then we pulled up. Ten of us. 530 00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:30,200 Massive Caracatta and just a little bunch of people going to 531 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,520 do the funeral. Can you remember? 532 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:37,600 It was a people, It was a snapshot of what's going to 533 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,600 happen when he goes into the temple and says, you know what? 534 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,520 You're going to worship me as God unless you get the mark, 535 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,720 good pet. And the world governments and 536 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,800 the authorities will go, OK, where's your mark? 537 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,000 Where's your mark? Remember, we had to pull out our 538 00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:00,440 our past, our COVID past. We're experienced. 539 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,120 I saw it on the altar of those who have been slain for the word 540 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,400 of God and for the testimony which they held and for your 541 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,560 testimony of saying you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and 542 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,160 Saviour and therefore you refuse to take the mark. 543 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,000 They will execute you. It will be a legal, mandated, 544 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:26,720 lawful execution. Christians, the Jews, But 545 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:32,080 believe me, this morning it is much better to take, not better 546 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,440 than taking the mark. John McCarthy passed away this 547 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,560 last week. Said to die as a Christian is 548 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:43,360 not to leave home, it is to go home safe in the arms of God. 549 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,240 In chapter 14 we read more about this group. 550 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,560 Then the third Angel following him saying with a loud voice, 551 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,720 says this. During the time of the 552 00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:58,320 tribulation period, if anyone worships the beast in his image 553 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,600 and receives his mark on his forehead, on his hand, he 554 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,400 himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which 555 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,560 has poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. 556 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,000 He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of 557 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,920 the holy angels and in the presence of the land, and the 558 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,240 smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever. 559 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,000 And they have no rest, day or night who worship the beast and 560 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,320 his image. And whoever received the mark of 561 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,720 his name, an Angel was sent by God throughout the world to warn 562 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,680 people. Don't take the mark, Don't take 563 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,320 the mark. Don't take the mark. 564 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,680 During the tribulation period, people will not take the mark 565 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,520 ignorantly. Oh, I just went along with it. 566 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,840 No, no, it'll be a choice. It's a choice. 567 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,080 God will be be warning you. An Angel will tell you not to 568 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,600 take the mark. But those who reject God's 569 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,640 warning and take the mark, there will be no hope of their 570 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,000 salvation ever. It's done. 571 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,520 They will be cut off from God forever, the Bible says. 572 00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:09,520 For they will have, by deliberate choice, join the 573 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,840 forces of evil forever. That's not me saying this is 574 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,640 what the Bible says. There's warning, there's 575 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,840 warning, there's warning. So then in verse 9, I saw under 576 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,600 the altar of those who had been slain for the word of God and 577 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,240 for the testimony which they held when by their own folly 578 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,960 they missed the rapture. But during the tribulation they 579 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,440 go, I'm not taking the mark. I know I'm not making a second 580 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,640 mistake. And because they committed their 581 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,640 lives to Christ, they will be martyred, executed for their 582 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,440 faith in Jesus and their witness for Jesus Christ. 583 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,080 They will by their death and glory. 584 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:52,400 Today, 2025 July. Why would you choose to go the 585 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,240 hard way instead of the easy way? 586 00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:57,760 What are you saying, Keith? Well, if you're stubborn, you 587 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,920 will learn lessons the hard way. If you're obedient, you can 588 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,560 learn the lesson of God the easy way. 589 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,680 But God will teach us one way or the other. 590 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,960 Remember the prophet Jonah? God spoke to Jonah. 591 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,080 Jonah, I want you to go and do this. 592 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,800 Go to the land of Nineveh. I want the freaks. 593 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,240 I want salvation to come there. And Jonas took off, went the 594 00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:22,800 exact opposite way. The terrible ordeals Jonah faced 595 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,880 were completely unnecessary for him to have to go through an 596 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,720 experience. He ran away from God, went down 597 00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:33,880 the job, hopped on a boat, the boat went out. 598 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,200 What happened? A storm came up on the ship, all 599 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,560 the sails and wonder what's going on? 600 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,400 He says it's me, it's my fault. I'm running away from God. 601 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,560 They pick him up. They throw him over the side. 602 00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:48,120 The storm calms down as he's thrown over the side and begins 603 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,880 to sink. A great fish grabs Joan. 604 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,800 He's 3 days and three nights in the valley of this great fish, 605 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,600 and then the fish spits him out. Where does he land? 606 00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,320 He's in Nineveh. That's the hard way. 607 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,000 Jonah forced all this upon himself by wanting to resist 608 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,760 God's call and God's will for his life. 609 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,280 You this morning, by wanting to resist the will of God on your 610 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,760 life can make it difficult for yourself. 611 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,080 Hear Jonah's words of wisdom as he spoke from the belly of the 612 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,680 great fish. Jonah 28. 613 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,200 They have regard. They that regard lying vanities 614 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,360 forsake their own mercy. You create your own problems and 615 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,200 hardships. I want to ask you this morning, 616 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,240 are you living a lie? Where do you sit with God? 617 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,240 In Revelation chapter 6 verse 9, this group dying for their faith 618 00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:47,040 in the tribulation period after the church has been removed is 619 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,200 an even larger number. In Chapter 7 we see them again, 620 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,360 but this time there's more of them, more people getting saved 621 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,520 and now they're brought into heaven and found standing before 622 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,160 the throne of God clothed in white robes. 623 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,680 Verse 9 after these things I looked and behold a great 624 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,400 multitude which no one could number of all nation tribes and 625 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,520 tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb 626 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,400 clothed with ripe robes with palm branches in their hands and 627 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,720 crying out with a loud voice saying, salvation belongs to our 628 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:22,680 God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb or the Angel stood 629 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,720 around the throne and the and the four living creatures fell 630 00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:29,240 on their faces before the throne and worshipped God saying Amen, 631 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,720 blessing and glory wisdom. Then one of the elders answers 632 00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:39,280 said to me, who is this group to join a raid in white robe? 633 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,880 Where'd they come from? And I said so, you know, So he 634 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,720 said to me, these are the ones who came out of the great 635 00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:51,920 tribulation, not the church, and washed their robes and made them 636 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,480 white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the 637 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,760 throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple, and he 638 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,760 who sits on the throne will dwell among them. 639 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,000 Here's what happened to them. Because now it's not going to 640 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,120 happen anymore. They shall need a hunger. 641 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,840 Why? Because they took the mark of 642 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,320 the beast, didn't they? Didn't take the mark, couldn't 643 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,440 eat, neither shall they first combine anything to drink. 644 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,720 The sun shall not strike them. That's got to come later on 645 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,960 during the heat boring down upon the earth, nor any heat, for the 646 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,560 Lamb was in the midst of the throne. 647 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,400 Will shepherd them, lead them to living fountains of waters, and 648 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,880 God will wipe away every tear from their eyes because they 649 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,920 were weeping during the time of tribulation. 650 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,560 Oh, how foolish I was. They are not the Church. 651 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,360 These are they who will be saved during the Tribulation and who 652 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,080 have been martyred for their faith. 653 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:49,120 In Revelation chapter 20 we see various groups and we see these 654 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,960 identified. I saw the souls of those who had 655 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,760 been headed for their witness, verse 4 to Jesus for the Word of 656 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,800 God, who had not worshipped the beasts of His image. 657 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:04,400 Revelation 24. You this morning can choose the 658 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,920 path of this group, but I surely would not plan it. 659 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,640 Why would you want to join that group? 660 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,160 Are you sure about your walk with God today? 661 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:20,040 If the rapture occurs, will the people behind beside you go or 662 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,600 will you stay? Where are you this morning? 663 00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:30,160 Will people who deny Christ now be saved in the tribulation 664 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,400 period? What are those who it says 665 00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:37,320 Second Thessalonians, who did not receive the truth that they 666 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,680 might be saved, and God sent them a lie, a strong lie of 667 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,560 delusion. Where's the line? 668 00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:49,440 What about the five foolish versions? 669 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,840 Are they going to get raptured? You know, there's five wives. 670 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,960 Who were they? Which one are you? 671 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,960 Are you, are you a wise one or are you a foolish? 672 00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:04,560 1 today, this morning, do not live your eternal destiny under 673 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,720 a question mark and go, oh, I think I'm, I think I'm right. 674 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,160 Instead, be sure, don't play with fire. 675 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,200 Don't delay. If you reject Jesus now I want 676 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,720 to ask you, will you be able to commit to Christ in the 677 00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:27,400 tribulation period, not to take the mark enough to die for 678 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,640 Christ because of your faith in him? 679 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,160 Don't wait to find out. Don't live a life that puts your 680 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:39,160 eternal destiny on thin ice with fingers crossed with your 681 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,040 relationship with God now. Too many people are doing that 682 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,680 now, but there's more yet to come. 683 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,280 First 12 as we finish. I looked when he opened the 6th 684 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,920 seal. Behold, there was a great 685 00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:52,520 earthquake. Not just an earthquake, a great 686 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,880 earthquake. And the sun became black as 687 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,280 sackcloth of hair. And the moon like blood. 688 00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,360 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth. 689 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,720 As fig tree drops its late figs when it's shaken by a mighty 690 00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:05,480 wind. The sky receded as a scroll when 691 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,600 it was rolled up. Every mountain and every island 692 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,040 was moved. Think of that, Every mountain 693 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,160 and every island shaken. This is an earthquake. 694 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,200 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the 695 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,440 commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, 696 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,360 hid themselves in The Cave and in the rocks of the mountains, 697 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,080 and said to the mountains and rocks fall on us, and hide us 698 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,280 from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath 699 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,320 of the Lamb, for the great day of his wrath has come. 700 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,000 Who is able to stand this earthquake? 701 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,000 Isaiah prophesied. It says the world, the whole 702 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,120 earth will stumble and wobble like a drunken man. 703 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:54,160 Isaiah 2420 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunken man. 704 00:46:54,440 --> 00:47:02,960 Can you imagine the the, the sea, the tsunamis, the tidal 705 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:09,240 waves, every man, every island? Can you imagine the damage? 706 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,040 And why does God put this at this place? 707 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,520 Because you see, when an earthquake hits, when a tsunami 708 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:20,480 comes, when a tidal wave sweeps over, where do you go for 709 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,400 safety? There's nowhere. 710 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,360 There's nowhere you want to stay here because it says every 711 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,520 mountain and every island. And plus, we read before 712 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,240 asteroids falling down the ground. 713 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:41,480 You can't, can't outrun. Now think this is horrific? 714 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:47,680 No, this is the future judgement of a world that's rejected Jesus 715 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,920 Christ who suffered and died on a cross and said for God so 716 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,400 loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that 717 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,560 whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but shall have ever 718 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,040 lasted the life. We're not going to have the 719 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,000 worship team come up because of my time. 720 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:09,320 I'm going to close with this. Are you on the run like John? 721 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,440 You're running from God. You come to church, you're 722 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,240 sitting here. You have a Violet. 723 00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:17,680 You're not reading, you're not praying. 724 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,880 You're living like everybody else. 725 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,280 Your passions are like the rest of the world. 726 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,440 Which path have you chosen? Because when the rapture comes, 727 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,360 it's hard. It's really hard. 728 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:44,960 You'll die for your faith today. You can make a choice, and 729 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,720 whatever you do, every person in this room, your actions or 730 00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:57,040 inactions, will be a choice to know Christ, to serve Him, to 731 00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,360 surrender to Him, or to take a risk. 732 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,880 Will you hear God's voice this morning? 733 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:13,600 Look at the events, these things that have happened that now 734 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,360 compound. Everything is ready for the 735 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:23,440 Antichrist. The time God says he hasn't 736 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,680 taken us yet because willing and that none should perish. 737 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,920 We're here only because we have a voice and we're to go out into 738 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,240 the world and our message is Jesus has come. 739 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,520 The decision lies with you this morning. 740 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,680 This is not a game. This is all I'll think about 741 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,960 later. The events in the tribulation 742 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,960 period will happen. Jesus said these things that 743 00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,000 will fall upon the earth our world has never experienced, and 744 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,840 unless the days of shortened, no one will be saved at the end.
