I'm going to go ahead and have Mark Phillips read some scripture here for us. And then we'll sing a couple of hymns. And we usually sing one psalm before we move over to the other part of our service. It's been a good day. We had a good time of fellowship today with Brother Walt Stickle and his group. So it's good for brothers to dwell together in unity, man. So with that being said, I'm gonna turn the camera around so Mark can. Matthew 12, 1 through 6. At that time, Jesus went on to sabbath day before the disciples were hungered. and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did when he was in hunger and pain that were with him? Now he entered into the house of God and ate the shewbread which was not lawful for him to eat. Neither for them which were with him, but only for the priest. Have ye not read in the law how that on the Sabbath days the priest and the temple pervaded the Sabbath and are blameless? By saying to you, that in this place is no greater than simple. And where was that again, Mark? Matthew 12, one through six. Very good. Well, first, Psalm, I'm sorry, the first hymn we're gonna sing tonight. We sing out of this old school hymnal, and we're gonna be singing 180, selection 180, It Is Well With My Soul. Mark, you wanna start that? ♪ When peace like a river ♪ Attended my way When sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot Thou hast come here to say It is well, it is well with my soul It is well, it is well with my soul It is well, it is well with my soul, Though Satan should bathe it, Though trials should come, Let this blessed assurance enthrone, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And has shed his own blood, for my soul. My sin of the bliss of this glorious thought, my sin not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul. And Lord, haste the day When the fates shall incite, the clouds be rolled back as a stone. The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend. Even so, it is well with my soul. It is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul. Well, let's sing 284. 284, Poor and Afflicted. It's taken from Zephaniah 3.12. Poor and afflicted, Lord, I Among the great unfit to shine. But though the world may think it strange, they would on with the world exchange. Poor and afflicted, yet they trust in God the gracious, wise, and just. For many days it's lot to choose. Nor would they dare his will refuse For an afflicted ought they are So hard oppressed with want and care Yet he who saves them by his blood Makes every sorrow yield him good For an afflicted yet they sing For Christ, the glorious conquering King, Through suffering perfect reigns on high, And does her every need supply. And while they walk the thorny way, They're often heard to sigh and say, Dear Savior, come, O quickly come, And take thy mourning pilgrim song. Poor and afflicted, yet e'er long, Will join the bright celestial throne, And all their sufferings interpose, And then afford them sweet repose. Poor and afflicted still we'll be, Our wealth and riches all we'll be, For Thou art all our righteousness, and will the poor and needy bless. For Antioch did Christ our friend, our first great cause and last great end. How sweet to know that we will be with Christ in all eternity. Page 15, I'm sorry. Page 15, Psalm 14c.

And again, we want to welcome all of the people that have joined us for our fellowship service tonight. And it's good to have you with us. Ross Plotner, welcome aboard. on board, all of those that jumped on board tonight. See where your really mindset is. We have the playoffs going, the Kansas City Chiefs up in this area today, and everybody's living for that moment. I'm not interested in the Kansas City Chiefs or the playoffs. I'm interested in eternal things, amen? Well, see if we can get brother, See if we can get Brother Mark's mic unmuted. Yeah, good evening Brother Mark, how are you? Good evening brother, God bless you. That was wonderful to have that double shot of fellowship this morning. Boy, that really met my need this morning to have that, our first regular service and then the fellowship afterwards. That was fantastic. Walt was amazing this morning, and Carl, too. Loved him, brother. Yeah, I think that could probably become a tradition, maybe. How's that sound? That'd be great. I crave all the fellowship I can get. Yeah, we've got someone on with us. I'm going to see who it might be. Okay. Okay, I've unmuted ancient Hebrew's conception of the universe. Whoever you are. Hey, brother. Hey, brother Larry, Mark is calling. You threw me a curse. You were great this morning. Oh, the Lord's a great brother, Mark. You know, he tells us that we're all going to be told of God, and I'm just so humbled You know, me, me and Babs are both so humbled to know that you guys are there and that the Lord deserves you and that we can fellowship together. You know, we were sort of a little down yesterday because Brandy asked me, Babs asked me, she said, well, baby, what are we going to do today? We don't have no fellowship with anybody. We had, we had two this morning, so I can relate. Yeah, I was telling Larry, it was great to have that double shot of the regular, of our regular service and then the hour of fellowship after that. That was great. Love it. Yes, it was. Yeah, it's always good for people of like faith to dwell in unity together. And it's a very rare thing because we just, you know, we're like, like Brother Walt said, we're scattered and yeah, over the all over the place. I mean, we got people all over parts of the world, and they come together with the same thought in mind, and it's the Word of God. I'm looking forward to meeting Brother Frank Hall tomorrow night. We'll be on the other platform, but I'm looking forward to Carl introducing us to him, and sometime, I would like to meet the other brother. I forgot his name, the guy from San Diego. I don't know if that would be possible or not, but I'd love to be able to fellowship with him as well. Do you know him, Carl? No, sir. I have never even spoken to Eric. I mean, I could maybe tell you off air the little bit that I know about where he's at now. If you would like to contact him, your best option would be to mention that to Frank and maybe Frank could put you in touch with him. Okay. That sounds good. Well, I'll talk to you off air about that and see what your thoughts are. Tonight, I'm going to start by just kind of talking a little bit before we get into the scripture. I've had something on my mind for some time. And Brother Mark and I have actually talked about this subject in the past, but it seems like it's a subject that really needs to be addressed because of the time that we're living in right now. I've often said that, you know, people that think they have their eschatology in a little package, you know, may just get surprised, okay? In the 24th chapter of Matthew, Christ said, no man knows the day or the hour. That's right. That's my eschatology, okay? In other words, if Christ said it, I can bank on it. Now, that's not to say we have the whole 24th chapter of Matthew as an answer to the disciples as to what will give you the time, you know, and what do we need to look forward to before you come back. And so this is something that, notice, I just wanna look real briefly at Matthew 24 verse three. As he said upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately saying, tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world? That's very specific. They wanted to know, what shall be the sign of his coming in the end of the world? And Jesus answers them very succinctly. I have heard the strangest, I have heard the strangest interpretations of Matthew 24, okay? But I want to just read a couple things out of there and then I want to go to where I really want to go tonight In the 21st verse it says, for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever shall be. Okay? Now, my question is, is that 70 AD? I don't think it is. Because a lot of people say that's 70 AD. I don't believe that that's 70 AD. I know that 70 AD was a great time of tribulation, okay? But it wasn't the greatest tribulation since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. That's still ahead of us, friends. And then he says, and except those days should be shortened, there should be no flesh saved, but for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened. Well, if it was 70 AD, have the days been shortened since 70 AD? Well, now then he says, lo, if any man shall say unto you, lo, here is Christ, who there, believe it or not, there shall arise false Christ and false prophets shall show great signs and wonders. This is what we've been talking about with Star Wars and whatever. This is all what it's about, the great signs and wonders, in so much that if it were possible, I'm glad that it's absolutely impossible to deceive the very elect. That's impossible. I've heard people say, I've heard people take that out of context and say, even the very elect will be deceived. No, that is absolutely false. It says if it were possible, and it's not possible. Okay, and so then he says, the only other thing I want to read is verse 29, Immediately after the tribulation of those days, what's he speaking of? He was just referring to, okay? Right. The greatest tribulation that we would ever see. Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be dark and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, and then shall appear, the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Now, that being said, I think that Christ has made it pretty clear the chronology of these events, okay? In other words, I believe that the church that is still living during that time, that have not physically died, are gonna go through the Great Tribulation. And there's a lot of people out there are getting fighting mad when you say something like that. No, I'm gonna be raptured out of here, the secret rapture stuff and all of this. However, it relates to the exact time The price is going to come back. I think it's going to be shortly, as he said, immediately after the tribulation of those days. As far as knowing the exact time, again, no man knows the day or the hour. That's right. So when people start setting dates, then we know they're in problem, just like Mr. Camping got into. Oh, yeah. That's hilarious. I won't get into Mr. Camping tonight. Now, I said that I just wanted to lay some groundwork here. Yeah. Do you mind if I say something about verses 37 through 41 real quick? No, feel free to jump in any time, brother. Okay, and the reason I want to do so is because you mentioned this false rapture doctrine. And people use verses 37 through 40 to to preach a rapture, but that's not what it's saying at all. It says in verse 37, in the Authorized King James Version, but as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days that went before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Then shall two be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken and the other left. The ones that are taken here are the ones under the judgment of God. You see that? Do you guys see that? Yeah, yeah. In fact, it's kind of a switcheroo from what they're being taught. Right, exactly. The ones that are going to be snatched away are going to be those that are in judgment, under judgment. That's right. That's absolutely right. Well, you know, with that being said, I want to just relay some things that I have heard recently that really have caused my eyebrows to raise a little bit, I would say. And this has come from people that say they are holding a reformed perspective. Now, I won't get into, because whenever you start throwing around terms like reformed, you're gonna get in trouble if you don't identify what you mean, because there's a lot of different camps that call themselves reformed. But anyway, I had one gentleman tell me that, he said, I do not believe that the mark of the beast is a literal mark, okay? And I said, well, what do you think the bark of the beast is? He said, it's spiritual. It has nothing to do with, you know, with a microchip under your skin, or it doesn't have anything to do with, you know, actually, you know, whether you are denying Christ or whether you're affirming Christ. He said, it's all spiritual, but he could never tell me what it was. That's what's interesting. He went so far to tell me I would have no problem taking a microchip if it was a convenience factor for my finances and my medical identification. I would have no problem at all with that. I've had several people do that. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to read the Bible. I'm going to go by the Bible. And if people don't want to accept the Bible, then that's fine. I think that a person that is not even a person of faith, a person out on the street, if they were read the Bible, that I'm getting ready to read to you. A lot of people say, oh, you're taking the word out of context. And you know what? They can say it. They can make all these allegations and so on. Yeah. Also, I can say is if I read the Bible to those people on the street, OK, and I asked them, what do they think that represents? They would come closer to having discernment in some of these people that are trying to spiritualize everything. There's no discernment. I want to point out that the first three chapters of Revelation are primarily Jesus Christ talking. Jesus Christ is one If you don't believe me, go to the first three chapters of Revelation, you'll see all the red letters. Okay, this is Christ talking. So Christ is one who is making himself, is revealing himself in the book of Revelation. And a lot of people say, well, you know, you can't understand Revelation. Well, what does Revelation tell us? He says in verse three, chapter one, blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein for the time is at hand. And again, we know that the revelation of Jesus Christ is given to his elect, okay? It's not given to the whole world. A lot of people say, well, you know, Revelation is for everybody. No, it is not for everyone. It is revealed and it is given to those who are God's people. Now, I'm going to have Brother Mark read a portion of Scripture for us. And I'm not like to say I can't do an exhaustive study of Revelation. I have done it before. And it's very, very eye-opening. when you really start studying the Book of Revelation. But I am going to have Brother Mark and Brother Carl read certain parts of Revelation tonight, and then we're going to make some comments about it and so on. In Chapter 12, what I would like for Brother Mark to do is read read verses one down through nine. Yeah, verses one through nine. That'll get us started. Okay. Very good. Oh, and you mentioned about how Jesus was only talking to his people and he didn't want everybody to get it. And that's right. That's why Jesus spoke in parables, so that only those who appointed to get it would get it. Amen. Amen. All right. So we will start now in Revelations chapter 12 in the authorized King James. And I will say, God bless all of our saints listening in tonight. May God meet you at the point of your need in Christ's name. Amen. Revelation chapter 12 in the authorized King James. Verse one, and there appeared a great wonder in heaven. A woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of 12 stars. And she, being with child, cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven, and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads, and ten horns and seven crowns upon his head. Verse four, and his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and did cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Verse five, and she brought forth a man-child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and her child was caught up unto God and to his throne. Verse six, and the woman fled into the wilderness where she hath a place prepared of God that they should feed her there, 1,203 score days. Verse seven, and there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, which is Satan of course, fought against the dragon and the dragon fought and his angels. Verse eight, and prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. And verse nine, and the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, which deceived the whole world. He was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him. Well, I want to just make a few comments here. There's a lot of people that have even denied this war in heaven. They've even denied the fall of Lucifer from heaven. And they try to make it something other than what it was. First, as I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now has come salvation and strength in the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ, where the accuser of our brethren is cast down, that's Satan. is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night, and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimonies, and they loved not their lives unto the death. Okay. I'm going to, just bear with me here so I can kind of keep my, keep on my focus of what I'm trying to bring out here. Now, what I want to do is I wanna read a couple things and then I'm gonna have Brother Carl and Brother Mark make some comments about this. Now, if you look over in chapter 13, we see that this is again the further chronology of what is occurring. And we see that in verse four it says, they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast saying, who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given unto him to continue 40 and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints. Notice this. It was given unto him. It was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations. Now, I've got a question for those that are into the secret rapture thing. Why would John the Revelator say it was given unto Satan to make war with the saints and overcome them if they're raptured out? Okay, it makes no sense. Now, he goes on and says, and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him. This is speaking of Satan, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Notice that. Here we find that this decree, this decree that's went out, is a absolute permanent certain decree. We can say with all certainty that those whose names are written in the book of life of the Lamb, Saint from the foundation of the world will not worship the beast. They will not worship the beast. It's most certainly they will not. And he goes on. And he says, in verse 15, he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Okay, now, does that sound like Christians are gonna have to go through some persecution? It does to me. It does to me. And then he goes on and he says, Verse 16, he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond. Have you ever thought about that? Have you ever thought about the fact that whatever this mark is that he is going to require everyone to take, it's going to be a universal requirement by everyone. There's nobody going to get off the hook here. Nobody. He says, he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in, not on, not on, okay, in right hand or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark in their right hand or in their foreheads. I don't know if you've ever read it quite like that, but that's what it says. I'm reading it backwards a little bit, but it says that no man might buy or sell, save that he that had the mark in their right hand, in their foreheads. Am I taking that out of context? Nope. No. I don't think so. And he says that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. And then he goes on and talks about, here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of the man, and his number is 600, and three score and six. Now, I'm just gonna say this. I knew a fellow one time, and whenever he made a point, and you all have heard it many, many times, but anytime he wanted to make a point of absurdity, He would say, don't be so open-minded, your brains fall out. Listen, B, this is very clear. The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil. Isn't that what it says? The love of money is the root of all evil. That's right. These people, these Luciferians, these people that lust for power and want all this power and everything. Yep. The best way for them to get the power is to control your and my individual personal commerce. Okay? Yes. Where we'll be able to buy or sell or conduct any kind of business whatsoever. I remember, I forget his name, you know who I'm talking about, the guy that was up in Nevada that had an interview with Rockefeller, and Rockefeller told him, we're gonna get everybody chipped. And he says, why would you wanna do that? He says, because if people don't do what we say, we'll just turn their chip off, okay? That's right. This is the ultimate power. This is what, now, I'm not a prophet, but I'm not so open-minded, my brain's falling out either, okay? I look at the reality of what is going on right now in our society and how they're trying to get everybody chipped. They're already doing it. Patients are doing it with their employees. You say, well, dude, you're saying that's the model. I didn't say that. I'm saying it's leading up to that, is what I'm saying. And, you know, coupled with the fact, brother, Brother Carl brought this up, and he's right on focus. He's right on track. And this is, right now, there are laws trying to be passed in our state legislature, and people have already been fired from their jobs for not signing a waiver to state that they will not say anything or boycott the state of Israel. Okay. This whole, you know, I know a lot of people say, oh, Larry's anti-Semitic and all this. Well, let me tell you something. If your definition of anti-Semitism is I'm against the Kabbalah and the Talmud, then that would apply. If that's your definition of it. Amen. I have no problem being labeled an anti-Semite if that is your definition. In other words, if you're saying to me, I have to uphold the Satanic Babylonian Talmud and the Kabbalah, I will tell you with God's grace in my heart and his giving me the unction to say no, I will not. Only God's grace will cause me to stand in that regard. But what I'm saying is I oppose, I oppose, I oppose the demonic Babylonian Talmud and the Kabbalah. And if you wanna read the Talmud, you can see why I'm opposed to it. Because I had a person, it was a coworker, she was a social worker, a Jewish lady, and I was, going on an appointment with her. I didn't have a choice, I had to work with her. And I was in her car, and so one time I thought, well, I'm just gonna try to engage her. And I said, hey, I won't mention her name, what do you think of Jesus Christ? She pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, don't you ever bring that up again. Let me tell you what I think of your Jesus Christ, okay? In my synagogue, If anybody ever mentions the name of Jesus Christ, we spit on the floor, okay? This is the kind of hate, this is the kind of absolute blasphemy that the Kabbalah and the Talmud promotes, okay? And you said it, that's right. Now, here's the question that I have. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm not saying I'm wrong either, okay? I'm just going to ask a question. Is there a linkage to the Mark of the Beast and this Luciferian, Kabbalic, Babylonian Talmud religion that is coming on the scene that is going to require everyone to exalt the State of Israel the whole Zionist movement. Is there a linkage? Now, I'm gonna shut up. I just asked some questions. I'm gonna turn it over to Brother Mark first, and he can give his thoughts. I'm not saying I'm right. I'm not saying I'm wrong either. You know what I think, okay? And then I'm gonna have Brother Carl speak a little bit to this. Go ahead, Brother Mark. That's very interesting. Yeah, it's a very relevant, that's a good question that should prompt a lot of research. Anyway, so this Revelation chapter 12 that we previously read, I think I read the first nine verses. There's a lot of symbology in those verses. A lot of hidden, a lot of things that need to be interpreted in a correct way. Like in 4, where he talks about, and his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and it cast them to the earth, you know. Those stars, what do you think those could be? That's an interesting, you know, interpretation. And then the great red dragon in verse 3. And what was that other one? Oh yeah, in verse 5, and she brought forth a man-child who was to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Now, I could be wrong, but that sounds like Jesus to me. I could be wrong, though. I think absolutely it's Christ, and I believe, and you know, I may get rebuked by a lot of people on this, I believe that those stars The third stars of heaven are representative of what we find in Colossians 1, which says, by him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created by him and for him, and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. I believe that is referring to the angels, the non-elect angels. The third of the angels. Right. The third of the third of the angelic hosts that rebelled with Satan and got thrown to the earth. And I'm reminded of that other scripture in somewhere else in Revelations. Woe unto you, O earth, for the devil has gone down to thee and he is full of fury because he knows his time is short. Amen. And then this verse one is very interesting here where it talks about the woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head the crown with 12 stars. That's interesting, 12 stars, 12 tribes of Israel. That's very interesting. Yes, yes. And so I just have... I wanted to... Go ahead. Oh, no, you make some really good points. And like I said, we could get into an exhaustive study of this verse by verse. And you make some really good points. Now, one thing that I believe in the 17th verse here, we probably should make a little bit of a explanation here because Roman Catholics will try to promote Mariology through this stuff, but it's not referring to Mary, okay? It says here, and the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened up her mouth and swallowed up the blood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Christ. I can tell you who that woman is. That woman is the bride of Christ. Okay. It's not some Roman Catholic Mary, okay? And so let's get that straight. But now, I'm going to turn it over to Carl. Now, Carl, I know we bit off a great big bite tonight. But I want you to just kind of give your thoughts as to what we have covered so far. Okay, let me see if I can give it a shot by the grace of God. Oh, man. Well, I'm right there with you and Brother Mark. Let's see here. Verse 9 in chapter 12, And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. I say, we're told here that Satan and the third of the angels that were cast out are in the earth now at work with Satan. They are at work deceiving mankind. All right. Also in verse 17, and the dragon was rocked with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed. The remnant of her seed would be the elect of God. That's us. And we keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. We keep the commandments of God because we are in Christ and he hath fulfilled the law for us perfectly on our behalf. In chapter 13, and this is my opinion, I could be wrong here, but I think verses five through seven really give us a blessed hope, if we can just grasp it here. And it says in verse 5, And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and power was given unto him to continue forty-two months. Verse 7, And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and power was given over all kindreds and tongues and nations. All right, well, who gave him the power to do this? And the answer is our God did, because He's sovereign. This is His work. This is His work. And we, you know, we have, you know, we have a hope in that. I mean, we can read this as believers and he's telling us, you know, he's, he tells us he who perseveres to the end, you know, and I just, you know, and I just like to sort of sit on that for a second. And, you know, even the time that this is going to, even the time that this is allowed to continue is governed by God and it's set forth in verse five, it was given unto him to continue 40 and two months. You know, and I just thought, you know, like I say, I mean, I'm so, I'm so blessed, you know, we're all so blessed in Jesus Christ. And this is for, and you know, and this is for his glory. And the only reason that we can see any of this and make heads or tails of it is because he's given us his spirit and that was his work, you know, and he's opened our eyes and opened our ears and give us a heart to seek him. And we're just, we can never repay him. And I'm just so blessed tonight. to be here with you brothers and to have my wife and just to know that you guys are there. I'm really blessed, amen. Oh yeah, and also the mark, it says to receive a mark in their right hand and in their forehand that no man might buy or sell. Clearly, this is something that, you know, this is also a counterfeit of the seal of God. We're told in Revelation that the elect have the seal of God in their foreheads. The mark of the beast is Satan's counterfeit to that. But I definitely believe that it is a real visible mark that has to do with technology of some sort that is going to regulate commerce on this earth, without a doubt. Absolutely. I agree with you. You know, it's an interesting thing because notice that this mark and Satan's work in the earth precedes the fall of Babylon, which is revealed later. Notice in chapter 14, I love this by the way, I love this. In verse four it says, these are they which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. This is talking about another prophecy. But then he goes on and says, and in their mouth was found no guile, for they are without fault before the throne of God. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people saying with a loud voice, fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment has come and worship him that made heaven and earth and the fountains and waters. By that time, Heliocentrism and the Star Wars mentality is gonna rule. And this angel is gonna come and make a proclamation for them to give it up. Okay, worship God. And look what followed, verse eight. And there followed another angel saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city. Because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornications. She made all nations drink. That's what we're experiencing right now. We're all drinking of the wine of the fornications because, look, NASA is purporting the wine of fornication. You realize that? They're blaspheming God. They're blaspheming God. blaspheming his nature, his creation. And he says, and the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And, by the way, here's an answer to those that want to teach annihilation, okay? In the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night. Worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. The thing that I'm amazed about this is that We may never see this. We may live out our physical lives. We may die, just like my father did last November the 10th, I believe, is when he passed away. My dad, his whole life, was looking to retain his privacy. And we often talk about this final day, Babylon would fall, and so on. But here's the thing that we need to realize. There is coming, this is reality. This is going to come to pass. This is not the figment of somebody's imagination. These events are real events. They're not just symbolic events. They're not just some metaphysical thought that John the Baptist dreamed up while he was on the Isle of Patmos. This is actual chronological events that are gonna occur on this earth, okay? And he says in verse 12, here is the patience of the saints. Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. No, it's not our own faith, the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice in heaven saying to me, right, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may They may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them. And so, anyway, I'm going to pause and turn it back over to Brother Mark. And any thoughts, any comments you have about what we've talked about regarding this Mark of the Beast, Brother Carl. I mean, Brother Mark, I'm sorry. Okay, yeah. I don't know what it's going to be, but yeah, that whole chip thing, that's an interesting controversy. But yes, all of these things have been prophesied, you know, in Bible prophecy from ages past, and it's going to be pretty terrible to those who are going to have to live through it. You're right, Larry. It could be far in the future, beyond the final stage of our natural life, it could be far in the future. And so I just praise God, you know, we're not going to have to, we're not appointed to go through this wrath. I just praise God that he, in his divine wisdom and foreknowledge, you know, he, We're not appointed to RAS. I just praise God for that. Right now, we may be appointed to the guillotine, okay? We may have our heads chopped. You know, hey, I don't know how far off this is. I'm not a prophet. I'm not a date setter or I'm not anything. But I can tell you this. Yeah. If there was a worldwide major catastrophe, okay? And it caused all of the nations of the world to go into meltdown, so to speak. I remember one of the things Ronald Reagan said when he was president was one of the greatest things that would bring us together is if we had an alien invasion, you know? And by the way, that would not surprise me at all if the powers that be orchestrated an alien invasion. I mean, Brother Carl made it very clear with, you know, Wells and his, the Martians have landed. You know, I read through that, and you know what, I agree with Brother Walt that that happened at 9-11, but by the way, are we so naive to think that they can't make it happen even on a broader scale? They can. They can. If they made it happen in 9-11, you don't think they can orchestrate something much larger and on a grander scale than that. People say, what are you trying to do, instill fear in people? No. I'm trying to get people to not be so open-minded that their brains fall off. Okay? When we see, Scripture says, when we see all these things begin to happen, look up for our redemptions drawing on. That's all I'm saying. Comfort one another with these thoughts, okay? This should be a comfort. I'm looking forward to getting out of this deal, okay? I'm looking forward to my graduation, okay? And so, you know, when I see they're planning all this and trying to control the masses through mass mind control, and they're trying to get everybody so drugged down they can't even think, when they're trying to force the flu shots, and they're spraying the air with all this stuff, and they're trying to control the masses and make them drones, okay? Make them drones. And so, anyway, I'm going to turn it now over to Brother Carl for any comments he might have. Okay. Yeah, we've really covered a lot tonight. But yeah, I mean, I definitely believe that heliocentricity, the satanic, demonic lie that has plagued mankind for about 500 years now, is tied to the Mark of the Beast. It's, you know, Werner Von Braun allegedly talked about this, you know, he talked about this on his deathbed to somebody that, you know, that had worked for him. Um, it was reported, you know, it was talked about how he had converted to Christianity in his latter years. And that's why he had Psalm 19, 19 and one put on his tombstone. Um, you know, and he talked about how, you know, their, you know, their plans to bring about the one world government. It's my opinion that we are in the new world order now. That's, you know, that's what we're living in now. Um, the, the one world government, which, which, you know, the currency of the one world government will be the mark of the beach. There's just no doubt about that. Now, you know, how they, how they usher that in is, you know, it's going to take a lot of fear to do that, but I mean, they have proven their sales are very adept at causing mass hysteria and, you know, making people fear. So, I mean, you know, we'll just have to, we'll just have to, uh, keep our, you know, pray that God gives us eyes to see continually and ears to hear and, and, you know, just, uh, sort of keep our eyes and ears open and, you know, not, you know, just by the grace of God, keep ourselves removed from this pagan system and not bow down any longer to any of this nonsense and just take a stand, you know, in the name of Jesus Christ and just know that, you know, we are going to be persecuted and some of us may lose our lives. However, like Paul said, for me to live is Christ and to die is gain. And, you know, you know, real quickly before, you know, real quickly before we go, you know, God refers to himself, you know, as, as having different attributes. He calls himself Jehovah Cherub, the Lord, the sword, or Jehovah Sikinyi, the Lord, our righteousness. And he refers to himself as Jehovah Saba, the Lord of Hosts. This is how King David refers to himself. refers to God in verse 45 of 1 Samuel 17. He says, Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword and with a spear and with a shield, but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. Now, whenever we read Genesis 2, whenever we read Genesis 2.1, Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them. All right. So God is referring to himself as the Lord of hosts, the Lord of the host of heaven. And I'm just reiterating again, God's declaration of his sovereignty in creation. And the reason that I'm bringing this up again is because This is a protection for his elect. By him revealing this truth of biblical cosmology to us, we won't be deceived by any of this nonsense. If we all turn on our computers one day and you know, see, you know, where, you know, aliens have landed somewhere or, you know, I mean, we're going to know this. We're going to know that it's a demonic deception because we've been told the Lord and I just glory in that and I thank him so much for his mercy. And also, we turn on our radios or we're in our car one day and we hear that the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, has literally crashed and it beyond all, you know, recovery. You know, I tell people, you know, if you wanna get people, if you wanna motivate people in fear-mongering, the best way to do it is take away their food and their sustenance. Okay? And if you look in chapter 18, and I just wanna go through this real quickly, because I think it will give us some insight into what is going to occur When they instigate this mark of the beast, what is gonna occur and what is God's response going to be to it, okay? He says, I'm reading in verse one of chapter 18, and after these things, he's talking about after mystery, the Babylon, the great, the mother of all harlots has been introduced and so on, He says, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon, the great, is fallen, is fallen. Now notice, notice how he describes Babylon. And it's become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Doesn't that sound familiar, what we're living in right now? Yes, sir. I mean, for all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings have committed fornication with her. Who is the her? Babylon. And the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another from heaven saying, and this is what Brother Carl was saying a minute or so ago, come out of her, my people, and ye be not partakers of her sins, that ye receive not of her plagues, for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her, as she rewarded you, double unto her, double according to her works, and the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double. how much she had glorified herself and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her, for she saith in her heart," listen to this, "'I sit a queen. I am no widow. I shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day.'" This is one of the things that strikes me, guys, about this, is when Babylon falls, this is gonna come quickly. quickly. In one day it says, therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning and famine, and she shall be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. And the kings of the earth who have committed fornication and live deliciously with her shall bewail her. Can you imagine what all of the Jesuits and the Luciferian Zionists and the devil worshipers, all of a sudden it's going to reality is going to hit, isn't it? Yes, sir. And the kings of earth who have lived deliciously with her shall bewail her and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city, for in one hour is thy judgments come. And the merchants of the earth, the stockbrokers, the international bankers, the The investment community. No man buyeth their merchandise anymore. The merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet and fine wood and all manner of vessels of ivory and all manner of brass and iron and so on and cinnamon and odors and it goes on through. And notice in the last part of verse 13, and the souls of men. That's what they marketed. That's what they're marking, souls of men. And so, anyway, to bring this to a conclusion, it's wonderful, the victory that we see, because in the next chapter it says, in chapter 19, verse one, and after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven saying, hallelujah, salvation and glory and honor and power unto the Lord our God. For he has judged the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornications, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. One of these days we're gonna be avenged, guys. And God is going to be our avenger. Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. And notice in the 16th verse of that chapter, And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Well, I think that's a good stopping place there, but I wanna stop, of course, on a good note in verse 21, where he says, in verse three, and I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, write, for these words are true. And he said, it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is a thirst of water of life freely. And that's a wonderful place to stop right there, okay. Now, I'm gonna pause and let Brother Mark make any final comments, and then we'll give Brother Carl Roberts the last word before we part company. Go ahead, Brother Mark. Yes, that is a wonderful place to stop, verse 6 of 21 there, yes. That is a good place to stop. I just want to tell a quick little story of 2011 when I, since we mentioned, since I had mentioned Mr camping earlier, I remember back in 2011 when I was living on 7th street here in Long Beach and. Family Radio, Harold Camping, they took a big billboard out on 7th Street. They rented a big billboard and they put up an ad, the rapture is going to happen March 21st, 2011. I remember that. They put up a big billboard. Yeah. Yeah. They probably did it in major population centers of the USA and stuff. And then when March 21st rolled around and left, then he backtracked, and he said, oh, it wasn't really a physical rapture, it was a spiritual rapture, and then he did all this meddling. So now he's gone to meet his eternal judgment for being a false prophet. But I just wanted to share that little story of what I remember from a few years ago, since we mentioned Oh, date-setting and all of that. Yeah, and we've seen that over and over and over in history. We saw it with the, you know, Christian Science Church, Mayor Baker Eddy. We saw it with the Jehovah's Witnesses. We've seen it with a number of these date-setters, you know. And, you know, Christ made it very clear that no man knows the day or the hour, but there are always people that want to circumvent Christ out there. But anyway, go ahead, Brother Carl. Yeah, I hope you don't mind if I read one more verse, do you? No, no problem. You can read all you want. Awesome. Um, I just think, you know, I just want to point this out in chapter 18, verse four. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues. Verse five, for her sins have reached unto heaven. and God has remembered her iniquities. All right, this is God's work. Everyone who's elect will come out. All right, he calls us to faith in Jesus Christ, and that's his choice from a foreign foundation of the world. And when he calls us to come out of her, we go. You know, and I'm just so thankful for that because he has He has purposed it that we will not be partakers of her sins and that we will not receive and we will receive not of her plagues. And I'm just so thankful to God for his work with salvation. It's a finished work from before the foundation of the world. I'm just so thankful for that. God bless you brothers and everybody listening. And I like to close with a quote by Martin Luther, peace if possible and truth at all costs. You like that quote. You know what, it's a great quote. And you're quoting a man who knew what he was talking about. I mean, this man, I remember seeing, I've read quite a bit of Martin Luther's work. I don't know if anyone on here has read The Bondage of the Will, but I recommend it very strongly. best books that Martin Luther wrote, also Martin Luther, well, I won't get into that other book that he wrote that people don't even want to talk about. I'll get in all kinds of trouble on that one. But the bondage of the will, when he is coming against the humanist, Erasmus, he absolutely nails him to the wall. And he calls a spade a spade, you know? He says you're basically denying the word of God. And so yeah, that's a good quote by Martin Luther. I want to conclude tonight with reading this, when hope and faith is given. And I like Brother Carl and Brother Mark am very excited to be a part of Brothers in Christ that the truth has been revealed to. By the way, it's humbling. It's very humbling. You know, it's like, I just, sometimes I almost have to pinch myself. In fact, with that, I'm gonna change what I'm gonna read. I've decided to read something different. And this applies to all three of us that are on here tonight. It's called why, why. Why would Christ care for a sinner like me? Why would he love me before the foundation of the world? Why would he suffer and die on the cross? Why would he pay such a tremendous cost? Why would he promise to come again for me? Why would He send a comforter while I await His return? Why would He love me forever and never from me turn? He did it because He loved me, not because of any good that I would do or have done. He did it because the Father gave me to His Son. He did it because of an eternal pact between the three in one. This love I will never fully grasp or understand, Love answers for why. It was his eternal plan. Well, may the good Lord be with you all tonight. I wanna thank Brother Carl and Brother Mark for being a holder with me in this proclaiming of the truth. And I hope that you all have a blessed day tomorrow and we look forward to seeing all of our guests tomorrow night on Facebook Live. We will also send out a link to Brother Walt's platform, and we're gonna have a special guest, Frank Hall, and Brother Carlson introducing to us, and Brother Ed's gonna talk to Brother Frank. With that, I'm gonna say goodnight. Does anyone else have any final words? God bless everybody. Yes, God bless everyone. Goodnight. Goodnight, God bless, Monday night.
