00:15 Welcome to "Battles of Faith."
00:16 We're your hosts, Ivor and Atonte Myers 00:19 and we're with Power of the Lamb Ministries. 00:22 You know, we have been covering the blueprint 00:25 for several programs now and in the last program 00:28 I told you don't miss this program. 00:31 And I don't know if you're watching it as it's airing 00:34 or if you decided to record it on DVR. 00:37 Whatever the case maybe, I'm happy that you're here, 00:39 because you are not gonna regret watching this program, 00:42 and you're gonna be so excited about the information 00:45 that is shared within this program. 00:48 Before we jump right in, you know, one of the things 00:51 that just really stood out to me in our last program. 00:54 As we're looking at the blueprint, 00:56 how important it is to God to give us a blueprint, 00:59 so we can have the gospel plan of salvation 01:03 and what we call His GPS. 01:06 It's so important to Him 01:07 and He give it to the children of Israel, 01:10 and said here take this, I need you to guard it, 01:13 I need you to apply it to your lives 01:16 and share it with the world, 01:18 so that it can go to all the world. 01:20 But as we know, the children of Israel did not do that. 01:23 And, you know, I was thinking during the last program, 01:25 God took the whole entire Old Testament 01:28 to just show us what happens 01:30 when we rebel against His word or His will. 01:33 And that's what happened to Israel, 01:34 they, God always gives us the freedom of choice, 01:37 and they choose not to take this blueprint and guard it, 01:42 but they decided to go against some of the principles of God. 01:46 And because of that, the enemy, 01:48 Satan was able to come in and do things to them, 01:54 and even put them into captivity. 01:56 And so he was able to do things 01:57 that wouldn't have happened to them 01:58 if they would have just trusted God 02:01 and had Faith in God. 02:02 And follow that blueprint, 02:03 which is what the Bible describes as the sanctuary. 02:07 We've been, according to His verse quite frequently, 02:09 Psalms 77:13 tells us, 02:12 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary, 02:14 and that's what we're calling the GPS the blueprint. 02:17 It is God's model of the gospel plan. 02:23 And in the program that we're gonna be doing today, 02:26 we're gonna show how God had given this model 02:30 to planet earth as a way to save as many as possible, 02:34 and how at a certain point Satan 02:38 tried to destroy this model, 02:40 and actually was almost successful at doing it. 02:44 And I think it's just amazing to see 02:47 how God was able to preserve this blueprint 02:51 and that's what we're gonna take a look at. 02:52 So we again invite you to get your Bibles, 02:55 because we're going to go through 02:58 a large portion of history. 03:01 We're gonna be covering a lot in this segment, 03:04 and so I want to begin just by sharing some things 03:08 to kind of bring us up to the point 03:11 where we see this blueprint 03:13 or the sanctuary being attacked, 03:15 and how God would restore it at the end of time. 03:18 Well, where we left off 03:19 in the last program really quickly is that 03:23 Spirit, I mean, literal Israel did fumble the ball, 03:26 if you will, they did not follow all that 03:29 God was telling them to do. 03:30 So God passed the ball to spiritual Israel 03:32 and spiritual Israel ran down 03:34 that was running down the field 03:36 and was on fire for the Lord 03:38 and doing all that they could do in their power. 03:40 So we know because of that Satan had to try to come up 03:44 with some plan to try to stop them. 03:47 That's right. God gives this sanctuary blueprint 03:50 to Israel in the Old Testament 03:52 and He says, Christ is coming in a certain period of time, 03:56 you're to be ready for His coming. 03:58 But Israel instead of accepting Christ, 04:00 they rejected Him and God takes that message 04:05 and He passes it off, if you will, 04:06 to a new nation First Peter, 04:08 or First Peter Chapter 2 verse 9, I believe 04:11 it is speaks about the gentiles 04:13 being a royal nation, 04:15 who were one time not the people of God, 04:17 but are now the people of God. 04:19 So off spiritual Israel goes down the field 04:23 with this sanctuary blueprint. 04:24 Now, for those of you who have not seen 04:27 any of the previous programs, 04:28 we want to put up an image of the blueprint, 04:31 so that you can get the idea, 04:32 get this image in your mind 04:34 because it's gonna be crucial to our study today. 04:37 So on the screen you're looking at a image 04:39 of the sanctuary as it was outlined in the Old Testament. 04:43 First article of furniture, 04:44 you had when you came into the Ark, 04:46 into the sanctuary was the Altar of Sacrifice. 04:51 That's right, and then moving out from there, 04:55 the Altar of Sacrifice we have the Laver. 04:57 The Laver. The Laver is symbolic of what, Atonte? 05:00 Of baptism. Baptism and washing-- 05:02 the Altar of Sacrifice points us 05:05 to the powerful sacrifice of Christ on our behalf. 05:09 Then you got to The Table of Showbread, which represented? 05:12 The word of God. That was found in the Holy Place, 05:14 a two compartment room divided by a curtain. 05:18 The Holy Place and then the Most Holy Place 05:20 and in between those was a curtain. 05:22 You had The Table of Showbread, 05:24 you see it right there on your screen, 05:26 represented the word of God. 05:27 And then you have the Altar of Incense representing? 05:30 Prayer. Prayer, very important, 05:33 our communion with God. 05:36 The Seven-Branched Candlestick represented 05:39 the light or our light shining. 05:43 "Let your light so shine that men may see your good works," 05:47 Jesus said over Matthew Chapter 5 verse 16. 05:50 And then finally, you went up into the Most Holy Place, 05:53 and in the Most Holy Place 05:54 there was the Ark of the Covenant, 05:56 wherein was the Law of God, 05:58 there was the mercy seat above it, 06:00 and seated upon that mercy seat 06:02 was the divine glory of God. 06:05 God sat in between the two covering cherubs 06:09 or two angels that were in his very midst. 06:13 And so, here you have a picture of, 06:15 basically this is a nutshell of the plan of salvation, 06:19 Christ's sacrifice, baptism, the word of God, 06:23 prayer, letting your light shine, 06:25 and the law of God and the very presence of God. 06:28 This is the gospel right here in a nutshell. 06:31 Sometimes we like to say that it's the gospel juice, 06:34 you know, it's concentrated. 06:37 And so, now that you have that picture in your mind, 06:39 we're going to take a look at what Satan actually did 06:43 to try to destroy the truths 06:47 that are taught by this sanctuary. 06:50 Well, first, spiritual Israel was so understanding 06:54 every aspect of this GPS, 06:57 they understood it and they got it. 06:59 And so Satan's original plan was, 07:02 well, let's just destroy, kill spiritual Israel. 07:05 That's right, and so he uses literal Israel 07:10 to attack spiritual Israel. 07:11 That's what you find in the New Testament 07:14 with the persecutions that were going on because of this, 07:18 you know, new religion, spiritual Israel 07:22 the gentiles are being, are being, 07:24 you know, attack this religion, 07:26 and in fact, what they do is 07:27 they team up with literal Rome. 07:29 So literal Israel, and literal Rome kind of unite 07:37 in their persecution against the New Testament Church, 07:43 which was made up of both Jew and Gentile. 07:47 There was no distinction anymore. 07:49 Christ's death, burial, and resurrection 07:51 got rid of that dividing line, if you will. 07:54 And so, but the devil got, 07:57 you know, upset about it, about the tact He was using. 08:01 Because what he found was the more 08:03 that Christians were killed 08:04 is the more that they multiplied. 08:07 And so we're talking about, 08:08 you know, 100 AD, 200 AD, 300 AD, 08:13 Rome is seriously persecuting the Church, 08:17 but they're just multiplying, multiplying, multiplying. 08:19 So Satan realizes he has to come up with a new tactic, 08:23 and so we find this new tactic in Daniel Chapter 8. 08:28 Daniel Chapter 8, we invite you at home 08:32 to get to your Bibles, so that you can read along with us. 08:36 But in Daniel Chapter 8 a prophecy is given, 08:40 of a power that would come upon the scene. 08:42 I believe it's Daniel 8 08:43 beginning with verse 11 and 12. 08:47 Daniel Chapter 8 verse 11, the Bible tells us here. 08:53 Atonte, would you read that for us, verse, 08:56 you know, let's read verse 9-- 08:57 Okay. --to verse 11. 08:59 "And out of one of them came forth a little horn, 09:03 which waxed exceeding great, 09:04 toward the south, and toward the east, 09:07 and toward the pleasant land. 09:08 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven, 09:11 and it cast down some of the host 09:14 and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon it. 09:18 Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, 09:21 and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, 09:25 and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 09:28 And an host was given him 09:31 against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, 09:34 and it cast down the truth to the ground, 09:36 and it practiced and prospered." 09:38 Okay, Daniel Chapter 8 is telling us of this power 09:41 that was to come upon the scene 09:45 that would do something just amazing in a bad way. 09:50 It would take this, the truth, 09:53 and cast it down to the ground, 09:55 and it would practice and prosper. 09:57 It also says that this little horn power 09:59 would cast down the sanctuary. 10:04 Now it's important to understand 10:05 the timeframe we're speaking of here 10:07 because this little horn 10:08 is also mentioned in Daniel Chapter 7. 10:10 So let's just flip back one chapter 10:13 to Daniel Chapter 7 and in Daniel 7, 10:16 Daniel has another vision where he sees four beasts 10:20 or four kingdoms coming into power. 10:23 For the sake of time those four beasts 10:26 are Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and then Rome. 10:30 And after Rome, Daniel sees ten horns, 10:34 these ten horns represent the various divisions of Rome, 10:37 but after that he sees another little horn 10:41 coming up among these ten horns. 10:44 We can read about that in Daniel Chapter 7 verse 8, 10:49 it says, "I considered the horns 10:52 'that is the horns coming out of this fourth kingdom.' 10:55 And, behold, there came up among them 10:58 another little horn, before whom there were 11:01 three other first horns plucked up by the roots 11:03 and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, 11:07 and a mouth speaking great things." 11:09 Because of our limitation of time 11:11 we can only see that these little horn 11:13 is the very same power found in Daniel Chapter 8, 11:16 there is the same little horn. 11:18 This little horn comes upon the scene sometime 11:21 after the fall of Rome, that would be 480 onward, 11:26 and this little horn is said to have cast down the truth 11:29 to the ground and cast down the sanctuary to the ground. 11:32 So, what we're looking for in this little horn power, 11:35 this power that the devil will use 11:37 is a power that would seek 11:39 to attack the sanctuary, what sanctuary? 11:42 There was no earthly sanctuary in the time of Rome. 11:45 There, the only sanctuary was a heavenly sanctuary. 11:50 So we're looking for a power that would attack the truth 11:52 being taught in this heavenly sanctuary 11:57 or this heavenly blueprint. 11:59 So let's go ahead and see 12:01 what power according to the word of God 12:04 would attack that heavenly sanctuary, 12:07 and the answer is absolutely amazing. 12:09 Satan would use the Church of the Dark Ages 12:14 to attack these truths, 12:17 you will see what I mean in a moment. 12:19 Remember, our diagram, the blueprint, 12:21 what God Has given us to show us the path of salvation, 12:25 to show us the way to be saved. 12:27 Ultimately what the devil would attack 12:30 through this little horn power, 12:32 were the trues being taught 12:35 by each of those Articles of Furniture. 12:39 So how did this happen? 12:41 Well, the Church of the Dark Ages began to teach us 12:46 something called the indulgence, the indulgence. 12:49 Now, what is that? 12:50 Basically it was, it was, it was saying that, 12:54 the sacrifice of Christ which is what Article of Furniture? 12:58 Which is that Altar of Sacrifice. 13:01 The sacrifice of Christ was not sufficient 13:04 for the forgiveness of sins. 13:06 To really capitalize on the forgiveness of sins, 13:09 you have to pay? Money. 13:12 Money, so that your sins could be forgiven. 13:15 Now this was literally or, you might say 13:19 it was just reaching out for that Altar of Sacrifice 13:22 and casting it down to the ground 13:24 and replacing it with an error with a counterfeit. 13:28 The Church of the Dark Ages also taught 13:30 that the sacrifice of Christ was not sufficient, 13:34 that one time sacrifice was not sufficient, 13:36 and so they began another teaching which basically said, 13:39 every time a priest takes bread and prays over it, 13:44 it becomes the body of Christ. 13:47 Christ is being sacrificed over and over again. 13:52 It nullifies the efficiency of Christ's one time sacrifice. 13:58 This truth was effectively cast down 14:01 and people lost sight of what 14:03 that Altar of Sacrifice stood for you. 14:05 Not only did that happen, 14:07 but the same Church of the Dark Ages also began 14:10 to attack that Laver, which represents? 14:13 Baptism. Baptism, and what did they began to teach? 14:16 That you could the sprinkling, sprinkle infant. 14:20 Sprinkling, that's right. 14:21 There was no need to ask 14:22 for the forgiveness of sins any more because, 14:24 you know, I mean, an infant can't ask 14:26 for forgiveness of sins. 14:27 So all you have to do was to be sprinkled, 14:30 and then you'd be okay. Confession? 14:32 Sprinkle, that's a little baby. 14:33 That's right, that's a little baby, 14:34 and then you would be all right. 14:35 No need for confession or repentance 14:36 and then being baptized, 14:37 just once you're sprinkled, you're good. 14:40 This Laver, the truth taught by the Laver was cast down 14:44 and something put in its place. 14:47 The same Church went up into the Holy Place, 14:51 and even took the Table of Showbread 14:53 and in a symbolic sense cast that down to the ground, 14:56 how do they do that? 14:57 By teaching that the laity could not understand 15:02 the word of God for themselves, 15:04 you have to go to a priest or some teacher 15:08 to understand the word of God. 15:10 And that caused people to, you know, believe that 15:14 and so they stopped going to the word of God. 15:16 That's right. It was all. 15:17 They would only go to a priest and believe everything-- 15:19 That's right, exactly. 15:20 That priest said, it's not personal study. 15:22 Exactly, that got rid, 15:23 that cut the people off from the word of God. 15:26 Satan was using this power to cast the truth 15:29 down to the ground to provide the people 15:31 with a counterfeit GPS or path to salvation. 15:35 They also began to teach that tradition 15:38 was more important than the word of God. 15:41 And basically it lowered the importance 15:45 of the word of God in the eyes of the people. 15:47 Not only did the same Church do that, 15:49 they also even set, took that Altar of Incense, 15:53 which represents prayer, our prayer to God 15:56 and cast it down, telling the people, 15:58 you can't go to God and pray to Him yourself, 16:00 you have to come through priests to do so. 16:03 You have to pray through saints 16:05 in order for God to hear you. 16:07 In fact, you'll remember, let's put our image 16:10 upon the screen very quickly if we could. 16:12 You'll remember in our diagram 16:14 that the Most Holy Place was divided by a curtain, 16:17 or the Holy Place and Most Holy Place 16:19 were divided by a curtain, 16:20 and on the side of the Most Holy Place 16:23 was the very presence of God. 16:25 Well, the Church even went as far as to take this truth, 16:29 and create their own two compartment room, 16:32 we call it a confessional booth. 16:35 With the priest sitting in the place of God 16:38 hearing the confessions of mortal men. 16:41 This Church effectively took the truth 16:42 of the Altar of Incense and cast it down to the ground. 16:45 Removing the vision of the people of-- 16:49 their sight from Christ, our Heavenly High Priest 16:51 and intercessor, to man as intercessor. 16:54 They even reached out to the candlestick, 16:56 which represented the Church of Christ 16:58 letting their light shine and persecuted them so much so 17:02 that they almost extinguished the light of the Church. 17:06 And ultimately, Atonte, 17:08 this Church reached up into the Most Holy Place, 17:12 and what they did was absolutely mind blowing. 17:14 Daniel 7:25 tells us 17:16 that "this little horn would speak great words 17:19 against the Most High, 17:21 wear out or persecute the saints of the Most High, 17:23 and think to change times and laws." 17:27 That's exactly what they did. 17:28 Number one, they reach into the Ark of the Covenant 17:31 and took the Sabbath commandment, 17:33 which says, remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 17:35 Six days shall you labor and do all thy work, 17:36 but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord thy God. 17:40 They took that commandment and replaced it 17:43 with the first day of the week, 17:44 and they said, we do this by our authority, 17:48 by our traditions we have power to do this. 17:51 They actually did exactly 17:53 what the prophecy stated they would do. 17:54 And not because they didn't have any direction from God. 17:57 No direction from God. 17:58 Not God telling them to change it, 18:00 but through their own power as human beings. 18:04 Exactly, they were basically doing the same thing 18:07 that Lucifer did in heaven by attacking the law of God 18:10 which is the foundation of His throne. 18:12 They also took the Ten Commandments, 18:16 and took out commandment number two, 18:18 which says, Thou shalt not worship graven images, 18:21 they took out number two 18:23 and took the Tenth Commandment split into two, 18:26 so that you will still have Ten Commandments. 18:29 They tampered totally with the law of God, 18:32 that's like lifting up God off of His mercy seat, 18:34 reaching down to his, 18:36 to the foundation of His throne, 18:37 and changing it according to your will. 18:40 Absolutely mind blowing. 18:43 Even so much so, Atonte, 18:44 that, you know, that the mercy seat was God's throne, 18:48 there you have God sitting on His throne 18:51 between two cherubim, and the Book of Revelation 18:53 describes four angels are surrounding the throne of God. 18:59 Well, take a look at this picture, 19:01 here you have a man sitting on a throne 19:04 between two cherubim and surrounded by four other men, 19:11 that is a picture of man claiming to be God, 19:16 man claiming to be God. 19:18 And so this is what the dark, 19:20 that the Church did during the Dark Ages 19:22 during that 1260 year period spoken up 19:25 in Daniel 7:25 a time, times and dividing of time. 19:30 So the question now, Atonte is, what would happen, 19:33 you know, what would happen to the blueprint? 19:35 Is God gonna do something, is He gonna intervene? 19:39 Where do we go from here? 19:41 And the answer is absolutely profound. 19:45 And I'm sure during these 1260 years, 19:48 I mean, the people of God, 19:50 spiritual Israel, was--they were being so faithful to God, 19:53 but you know, they at some point had to wonder, 19:56 Lord, what are you gonna do, when is this going to end? 20:00 And God heard their cries and their prayers. 20:02 which brings us to the final prophecy 20:05 of the Book of Daniel, 20:06 it's called the 2,300 day prophecy, 20:10 in Bible prophecy a day equals a year, 20:13 so this would actually be 2300 years, 20:16 just like the 70-week prophecies day for a year, 20:19 the 1,260 a day for a year that covered the Dark Ages, 20:23 where the truths were cast down. 20:25 This 2,300 day prophecy would extent, 20:29 would begin in 457 BC and end 2,300 years later, 20:36 Now I know for the sake of time those numbers may, 20:39 you know, sound a little confusing. 20:41 But the prophecy starts at the very same time 20:44 as the 70-week prophecy, which was 457, 20:48 and it takes us down to 2,300 years 20:52 and at that time God says, 20:54 the truths of the sanctuary would be restored. 20:56 That actually brings us to the year 1844, 21:00 if you count from 457 when the decree went forth 21:03 to rebuilt Jerusalem, you count 2300 years, 21:07 you get to 1844. 21:08 If we're right, and I know many of you 21:10 listen to this are going, I don't get those numbers, 21:12 I've never heard it before. 21:13 But if we're right, what we're gonna see 21:16 is that God would have restored all the truths 21:20 of that blueprint by the year 1844. 21:23 So let's see, did that happen. 21:25 Let's take a trip down history. 21:28 That's right. Lane. 21:29 Over a period of 500 years God begins to restore 21:33 the very truths that were cast down 21:35 by the Church of the Dark Ages beginning with a man 21:39 by the name of John Wycliffe in the 1300s. 21:42 John Wycliffe translates the Bible 21:45 into the common language 21:47 or the language of the common people. 21:49 We might say, he effectively restored 21:52 the word of God to the people, 21:54 so that they could begin to read 21:56 and find the direction for themselves. 21:59 John Wycliffe is known as 22:00 "the Morning Star of the Reformation," 22:02 because he got the Bible 22:04 into the language of the common people. 22:06 So, when we did that, 22:07 The Table of Showbread was restored. 22:10 Exactly, was effectively restored. 22:12 In the 1400s, a man by the name of Martin Luther is born. 22:16 Martin Luther comes upon the scene, 22:18 and Martin Luther begins the Protestant Reformation. 22:21 One of the first things that Martin Luther wars against 22:26 is this teaching that you have to pay 22:30 in order for sins to be forgiven. 22:32 Martin Luther rediscovers the truth of justification 22:36 by faith in the sacrifice of Christ. 22:39 And so Martin Luther becomes the founder 22:41 of the Lutheran movement. 22:43 So Jesus' onetime sacrifice on the cross-- 22:46 Was sufficient. Was enough for our sins. 22:49 Exactly. So Martin Luther picks up on 22:50 what Wycliffe did in 1300s 22:52 and he adds or restores the Altar of Sacrifice, 22:57 and so we have that altar that truths 22:59 now being preached and restored. 23:01 But it doesn't end there, because in the 1500s 23:05 and by the way Martin Luther begins 23:06 his reformation in the 1500s. 23:09 But around that same time a man 23:10 by the name of John Calvin comes upon the scene. 23:13 John Calvin is the founder of the Presbyterian movement. 23:17 And John Calvin has this special burden for prayer, 23:20 it is said that no one has written 23:22 more on prayer than John Calvin has. 23:24 Wow. And what John Calvin does 23:25 is he effectively restores the Altar of Incense, 23:29 which tells us, you don't need to go 23:31 to a man to confess your sins, 23:33 you can go direct, you have direct access to Jesus Christ, 23:36 our Heavenly High Priest. 23:39 I think I was, if I was living in the 1500s, 23:41 you know, I would have been a Presbyterian. 23:43 God raise that movement up 23:45 for a reason to restore a particular truth, 23:47 but it didn't stop there. 23:49 Because in the 1600s another man 23:52 comes upon the scene by the name of John Smyth. 23:56 John Smyth is studying his Bible, 23:58 and John Smyth finds discovers the truth, 24:02 that baptism must be preceded 24:08 by confession and repentance. 24:11 You don't sprinkle in baptism, you must fully immerse. 24:16 John Smyth builds on the truth that came before him, 24:19 he becomes the founder of the Baptist movement, 24:22 that's the 1600s, God is restoring 24:25 these articles one by one, 24:26 one by one. So he restores the Laver. 24:29 He restores the Laver. 24:30 The altar of The Table of Showbread, Wycliffe John. 24:34 Martin Luther, the Altar of Sacrifice. 24:37 Calvin, the incense, and now John Smyth the Laver. 24:41 Well, in the 1700s another man comes upon the scene 24:45 by the name of John Wesley. 24:46 John Wesley is the founder of the Methodist movement. 24:49 And what John Wesley does is he has this very strong burden 24:53 for seeing the gospel work 24:54 go into all the world, for witnessing. 24:57 And he begins, you know, sending missionaries out 25:01 to do the work of taking the gospel to the world. 25:04 John Wesley, we might say effectively restores 25:09 the Seven-Branch Candlestick. 25:10 Well, this is what excites me, Atonte. 25:12 Because there was one article of truth 25:15 left to be restored it is the Ark of the Covenant. 25:20 What movement would God raise up in the 1800s, 25:23 remember, what year does the 2,300 prophecy end? 25:27 It ends in 1844. 25:30 Beloved God raised up what movement? 25:33 He raised up the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 25:38 that took all the truths of all the reformers before it 25:41 and brought them all together replacing the final restoring, 25:45 the final truth which is that the law of God 25:48 has not been changed, that there is no man 25:50 that we should call the Holy Father, 25:52 and that all these things are a restoration of God's GPS. 25:58 And so that this, the Seventh-day is the Sabbath 26:02 of the Lord thy God. 26:03 And not to split the Tenth Commandment in two 26:07 and we should not bow down to graven images. 26:10 That's right. And it is this message, 26:12 when this message was fully restored. 26:15 Matthew 24:14 Jesus says, 26:17 and this gospel shall be preached in all the world 26:20 and then shall the end come. 26:21 There was a football game that was in 1982, 26:24 where one team was just a couple of, 26:28 they were, they were one point down 26:30 and there was one second left on the clock. 26:33 This team that thought there were gonna win, 26:35 they did the kickoff, the other team got the ball, 26:38 they began going down the field. 26:40 While they tackle the guy with the ball 26:41 but before they got him down, 26:42 he passed the ball back to one of his teammates, 26:45 and he took the ball and started running. 26:47 They tackle him, but he passed it back, 26:49 this happened six times. 26:51 The opposite team, their band was on the field celebrating. 26:55 They knew they were gonna win. 26:57 They knew they were gonna win. 26:58 When all of a sudden, the sixth guy takes the ball 27:00 across the end zone and into the end zone, 27:04 they win by an upset that the place it shocked. 27:08 The devil and his angels were celebrating. 27:10 But God took that blueprint and Church 27:13 by Church he raised up for a particular reason, 27:15 but he hands the ball last of to the Adventist Church, 27:19 and he says, take it into the end zone. 27:21 If you're an Adventist and you're listening, 27:23 you're not an Adventist by chance, 27:25 that's what I'm trying to tell you. 27:26 This movement has been ordained of God, 27:28 and if you're not an Adventist I want you know 27:30 that all Adventists are, they are Baptist, 27:32 Methodist, Presbyterian, who all walk, Lutherans, 27:36 who walked into more light, 27:37 took their truths and brought them 27:39 all together into one movement. 27:41 We invite you into the final movement 27:44 that God Has called for such a time as this. 27:47 This is the GPS that God desires to be taken 27:51 into all the world. So then, the end will come. 27:54 Amen. This is why this message always gives me goosebumps, 27:59 because the history proves along with the Bible, 28:02 what God is trying to do for His people. 28:06 Thank you for joining us, until next time, God bless. |
