Okay, we're going to take a look at Revelation Chapter 12 tonight, because I think that's probably the most important chapter in the entire Book of Revelation, personally. But just to point out a couple of things in Revelation Chapter 8 and 9 are part of the The last half of the seven-day tribulation, Revelation chapter 10, 8-11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or 14, the 15 begins the Seven Bulls Jesuits, but all these chapters are parenthetic parentheses. And then Revelation chapter 8 and 9, it ends with the 6 trumpet in verse 13 through 12. And then in Revelation chapter 11, verse 15 through 19, is a picture of the 7th trumpet sounding, but it's still part of the parenthesis. Now, there are a couple other things that I'd like to point out. There are three woes pronounced in Revelation chapter 8, verse 13, and then Revelation chapter 9, verse 12 says, one woe is passed, and there come two more woes, two woes more. And then finally, in Revelation chapter 11, verse 14, the second woe is passed, and behold, The third bowl come quickly, and I believe the third bowl is the seventh trumpet. In verse 15, the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven saying and so forth and so forth. But it doesn't sound yet, it's just being, it is sounded, but it doesn't commence until Revelation chapter 15 verse 1. That's when it commences once again. all the parentheses are over with, which are, and you all know what a parenthesis is. But the one parenthesis we're going to take a look at tonight is Revelation chapter 12. Revelation chapter 12 is a picture of the history of the conflict between Satan, Israel, and the Lord Jesus Christ. It goes all the way through history, all the way through history. So let's begin Revelation chapter 12 verses 1 and 2. Of course, you're all familiar with this. We've been through it many times. We'll build through it again. In case you've missed any of that. Verse 1. 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 twelve stars. Which represents… Yes, very good. Good. The woman represents Israel. The 12 tribes are the 12 stars. And she, by the way, if you'd like to prove that, look up the word 12 stars. And let's see here. And Revelation chapter 7 verses 4-8 also shows the same thing. But anyway, verse 2. And she, that's Israel, with child, Jesus Christ, cried, prevailing in birth, and pain to be delivered. Constant attack upon Israel, constant attack upon Israel, the child of course, Jesus Christ. And it began with Eve. When Eve had two children, she had came and able, and Old Satan got behind the whole thing, trying to kill the Christ child, when she had created a conflict between the two children, long killed the others, Satan thought he'd won the battle, didn't. That wasn't the Christ, but he never stopped attacking the nation of Israel and the children of Israel. Always trying to get to the Christ child, and when Christ was born, remember Herod. Herod killed everyone under two years old, thought he would get to the Christ child by doing that. Verse 3. 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. These crowns represent if you remember the ten nations or the seven nations that have passed. Let's take a look at those if you will. Let's go over here if you will to chapter 17. Might take a look at the seven crowns on his head. Seven heads, ten horns, seven crowns on his head, the great red dragon, the who is Satan. In verse 17, if you will, verse 9. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven nobles on which the woman siteth. And there are seven kings, five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come, and When He comes, He must continue a short space. These kings are, or these seven heads, these seven mountains, are seven kingdoms. Throughout history began with Assyria, and then Egypt, then Babylon, Middle Persia, Greece, and Rome, that six. The seventh is yet future, which will be a type of the Old Roman Empire, yet future. down here if you will verse 12 and the ten horns which now saw us are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet but received power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Now I got to tell you personally I think we're almost there. I can't either actually because I'll be out of here when it happens. And you know One other thing that people are always talking about is the number 666. We won't be here. We don't have to worry about the number. No, they don't. Well, they don't. It's very simply the unholy trinity. If you do a study on it, number 666 is a unholy trinity. It'll be a literal number that everybody will have in plan and in their right hand to their forehead. Then if they don't have the number, they won't be able to buy for a sell, but we don't have to worry about that. Now things are going to give a difficult towards the end. I believe the church will go through some problems, but I think the problems will be so bad that people will stop going to church. So you have a company called Monday. What is it called? Monday. What is it? The chip. Hold it. Make sure the chip? Well, you know, over in Egypt, over in Great Britain, the two young kings, young princes, they've both been implanted with them so that they always know where they are. Yeah. Well, yeah, you're right. I never thought of that, but I knew there was a company making H-hip, but they might to be making deep shit. Well, you know, I've told you many times, though, I started a church in Rome. I had to open up a bank account for the church. And because we, I don't remember what the reason was exactly, but until we got everything set up, they had to give me the number 666 on my bank account so that I could use it until we got everything. That was our account number. The lady in the bank said, what I hate to do this, but the computer won't give us anything but six. And I said, don't worry about it. It's just a number. It's just a number. She said, yeah, but you're a church and six, six, six doesn't, I said, it's just a number. We will use the check-in account, we'll use the check-book, just go ahead with it and we'll bother it. Now who knows, you know? you're probably right. So anyway, so anyway, back here at Revelation Chapter 17, if you will, they have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Now this is yet future, but that's where the ten comes in, the ten horns. Okay, back to Revelation Chapter 12, if you will. Well, they do every day. Yeah. You know, one of these things, this new movie out called the Narnia Chronicles or something like that. The guy that wrote that is supposed to come in five stories and his goal is to kill God. The Golden Compass isn't that part of the Narnia Chronicles? Okay I'm wrong I got to confuse. What is that called the Golden Compass? But is there five stories you goes with the golden compass three whatever I could you wrong there to yeah any how the next comes on TV I turn it off because I get angry but the guy that wrote that the golden compass yeah come and think that you're right he said his goal was to kill God and that's that's what he's going to teach through his story yeah well you know what he says he'll meet God and he'll say well but the point is actually if you stop thinking about who already did kill God, it was his sense that killed Christ on the cross. And someday when he meets Christ's face to face, he'll say, well, he did, or he'd killed me once. Can't do it again. Okay, where was I? Okay. Verse 3, there appeared another wonder in heaven, behold a great red dragon, Satan, having seven heads and ten horns, and we already saw who those were. Seven crowns upon his heads 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 Israel who was ready to be delivered to give our her child as soon as it was born. And you ought to write down Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 to go along with that. Genesis chapter 3 verse 15, as you probably remember what that verse has to say, he shall Bruce Diaheel and so forth and he did. He bruised Christ's heel when he nailed him across Sunday. Christ is going to crush his head. Very prophetic. So Genesis chapter 3, verse 15, to the power of our child as soon as it was born and he never stopped, he's trying to kill Christ even today. He is killing Christ in the minds of most people and when I hear the Christmas music out here in Madison, I'm always amazed there is no opposition to that. I really am. It plays every day, all day, good Christmas music, and not all Christmas music is good, by the way. But most of it that they play always glorifies Christ, and the surprise that they just keep doing it. Yeah. Verse 5. Now if I, verse 3 and 4, took place in Luke chapter 10, verse 18, Christ said, I saw Satan fall from heaven as lightning. And then you will remember that many times we've discussed Genesis chapter 3, verses 1 and 2. Satan was cast out of God's presence into the earth's atmosphere, outer space, onto the earth. The earth became dark and void. Then God created Adam and Eve, but in six days he created all things as we know of them and so forth. But he was kicked out of heaven, took one third of the stars of of heaven which cannot be numbered. That's how many demons there are. These are the stars of heaven and they cast them to the earth. So if you see anyone that's demon possessed like this little radio behind me here. I'll tell you what. First five. And she brought forth a man child, Jesus Christ, that's why we celebrate Christmas by the way. Who was who rule all nations with a rod of iron, and her child was caught up into God and to his throne. Verse 5 takes 33 years. Verse 5 covers 33 years, does it not? Christ was 33 years old when he died on the cross, was nailed to the cross. She brought forth her male child, man child, whose rule all nations with a rod of iron her child Christ was caught up to God and to his throne, 33 years and he was nailed to the cross. Verse 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God. Between verse 5 and verse 6, is the church age, the age that we're living in. We're still living in there. Verse 6 is yet to be fulfilled, yet future. And the woman fled into the wilderness where she had the place prepared by God that they should feed her there 1,200 and 34 days. Well, some people say that it takes place in a place called Red Rock, called Petros Red Rock. Yeah, okay. I'm not sure about that. Personally, I think it's certain one of the attack Israel and Petros, he could do it. I think when God hides Israel, now a lot of people teach that, you can take it anywhere you want, I don't care. I personally think if God has a place prepared for him, where he's going to hide him, he's literally going to hide and say to Satan, this is not going to have any idea where they are. Yeah, I don't think he will. I think that place is called, there's some people call it Red Rock Canyon, Red Rose, Petros, it has a few names, but it's a literal fortress. Israel went there before, during the Roman, and in the 70 A.D., a lot of them went there during the time when the Romans attacked Jerusalem and destroyed it. But anyhow, verse 6 takes place during the seven-year tribulations. So between five and six is the church age, the age that we're living in. Verse seven, there's going to be another war in heaven. Remember the first time when Satan and his devils were cast out of heaven, and then verse seven, this takes place, I believe, right in the middle of the seven-year tribulation, and then I'll show you why here shortly. There was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought in his angels, and prevailed not. Neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil in Satan, who deceived the whole world. He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Notice what it said. He wasn't cast out into the heavens. He was cast out into the earth, into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him, and I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now comes salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ. For the accuser of our brethren has cast down who accused them before our God day and night. No more accusations. Now hold your place here. Let's go to Job, chapter number one, we're going to come right back here if you will, and show you exactly what he does when he accuses the brethren in Job Chapter 1. Now, after Revelation Chapter 12, I've read it many, many times, and each time I get a little more out of it. In Job Chapter 1, let's go, if you will, to verse 6, you might make a couple of notes here in your Bible. Now, there was a day when the sons of God, those are angels, fallen angels, demons. They were called sons of God in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, they're called devils, demons, came to present themselves before the Lord and Satan came also among them. Now, try to get a picture of this if you will. If God casts Satan out of the third heaven, that's where God dwells, right? Of course, he's everywhere, God's everywhere at all times, but that's where his throne is, God's in heaven. No sin allowed there, Satan was cast out. And so when Kate Satan comes to present himself before God, he comes up to the third heaven, but he's not allowed in it. So we have the earth's atmosphere of the first heaven, outer space, the second heaven, Satan and his angels roam around there all day, every day, creating all kinds of head off. But when they present themselves to God, or when Satan accuses us, he goes up to the third heaven, stops there, and then he presents his case to God. He's not allowed in heaven, yeah. And verse 7, and the Lord said unto Satan, from where, or from whence, come us thou. Then Satan, as the Lord said, from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down on it. He's real, isn't he? He's still here, he still walks to and fro on it. And the Lord, as said unto Satan, has thou considered my servant, Job, that there is an unlike him in the earth, in the earth, they're perfect enough right man who fear of God and avoid his evil. Then we're not going to read any further, but Satan said to God, you know, well you put a head around you, remove your head and see what happens, and that's how Satan works. He accuses us, tries to get us in trouble, and so forth. And God alone is allowing to go so far, okay, back a revelation if you will. We'll take a look if you will in chapter 13, and then we'll go back to Revelation chapter 12. If you remember what we just read, Satan and his devil's demons are cast into the earth. The accuser of our brethren is cast down who accused him before our God day and night. Now I'm going to give you my take on the Bible here. You can take it any way you like. But I want you to go to Revelation chapter 13. first one, and I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up on the sea having seven heads and ten horns. We already saw who that is, right? And upon his horns, ten crowns, and upon his heads his name would blasphemy. Didn't we just read who that was, Satan? And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast. Verse two, and the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the out of the lion and the dragon gave him his power in his seat and great authority. The beast who rose up out of the sea is the anti-Christ. He has the same personality of Satan because he is influenced by Satan, but in the middle of the seven-year tribulation he will literally be in dwelt by Satan. And when he is, Satan will not be allowed to roam around here like he does now, he will will be contained to the body of a man. Well, I just can't get over to Joe then, the Lord is talking in that way. Yeah. It just seems so. Well, it does. Yeah. I can't never just pinch that. I believe that. Yeah. I will do it, but I just can't. Well, I'll tell you frankly, there's a lot of things I have trouble getting past, too. Yeah. I mean, I do believe it. I know. I have the same problems. But yeah, I do. There are a lot of things that I say, wow, that's just unfathomable. God, you're the boss. You said it, and that's what it is. But yeah, there are some things and I guess there's some things that we just don't understand. Someone's like, God, he has a weighted moment. Yeah. I know there's a lot of preachers who would hate to admit that. And, you know, well, if you're a preacher, you know everything. Don't give me that. don't give me that. No, I don't. I don't have perfect faith. But anyway. Yeah. Yeah. I feel the same way many times. So we have a picture here of the Antichrist who was literally in Dwap, my Satan, and we're going to prove that shortly here, I think. And they will see you here. Oh, verse 3. And I saw one of his heads as though it were wounded to death. And his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast, the antichrats, and they worshiped the dragon who gave power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who was likened to the beast? And who was able to make war with him? You'll notice as it said, he had a deadly wound, and it was healed. An imitation of the Lord Jesus Christ, who had a deadly wound, and rose from the dead. Turn over if you will, we're going to come back to Second Festivalings, if you will. Second Festivalings, chapter 2. In verse 2, 3, Second Festivalings, chapter 2, let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come, except there come a following the way first, and that man of Sam the Antichrist be revealed to Son of perdition, who opposes and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worship, so that he as God, sit in the temple of God, showing them how self, that he is God. And so this is what Satan is going to do when he indwells the anti-Christ. Literally indwells him. He has to act like God. Okay, Dr. Revelation chapter 13, if you will. In verse 4, they worship the dragon who gave power unto the beast peace, and they worship the beast saying, who is like 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 forty-two months, the last half of the seven-year tribulation. Satan literally indwells the Antichrist at this point. Up to this point, I don't believe he entwelt the Antichrist, but I believe he manipulated him, controlled him, and then he shows the Antichrist having a wound. He rises supposedly from the bed, I don't believe he is dead. I think he's supposed to put everybody assumes he's dead because I don't say it and I don't Satan has that tower. And there's a couple of verses I could go to to prove that. But mind as well, go to Second Testament, chapter 2 again. And I'll tell you where I get that process. I'll tell you where I believe that. Go to verse 8, if you will. And then that's after the Holy Spirit is removed, and then shall that wicked one be revealed, when the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, Even him, the Antichrist, who's coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. Are we supposed to book you an hour or a book? Okay, so I think Old Satan wants to wait a minute here while you answer it. So I think Old Satan literally in dwells the Antichrist in the middle of the seven-year regulation, it's a lying wonder. He looks dead but he isn't and he has a deadly wound and the wound is healed but I think it's a lying wonder. Now on down to verse 11 if you will, Revelation chapter 13 and I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon and he He exercises all the power of the first beast before him and calls it the earth and then who dwells the worship of the first beast who daily in a word. Let me make this brief. The second beast is the invitation of the Holy Spirit. The first beast who is wounded and healed is the invitation of Christ. So we have Satan, the Antichrist and the false prophet, the second beast, who are the unholy trinity. And you'll notice here, and let's go over here to verse 17, if you will, verse 16. In verse 15, this unholy spirit, who imitates the Holy Spirit, has power to do all kinds of things, but 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. Remember Old Nebuchadnezzar? Okay. And he calls us all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave to receive a mark in the right hand or in their forehead. In the middle of the seven-year tribulation, you and I will be in heaven for three and a half years, when that takes place. It will not affect us. And that no man might buy or sell, save that he saved And he that had the mark, or name of the beast, or number of his name. Now I'm going to tell you something, some people think that they'll be able to live through that. No, no, no. If you don't take the mark of the beast, you'll be beheaded. There's no way out. You can't hide. There's nothing you'll be able to do. And we're getting pretty close to that event. Okay. That's Arabic. Yeah. It's Arabic. Revelation chapter 12, once again, if you will. Now let us come salvation and strength and kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ for the accused of our brethren has cast down who accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives unto the day. How do you overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb? We do not have the power to keep Satan on our own. He is so powerful that we do not have the power. We ought to thank God that we're not just absolutely blessed from us human beings because without the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Bible and the power of the Holy Spirit, we would be absolutely despicable, rotten human beings like the rest of the world. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens and ye that dwell in them, Christians, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, and of the sea, for the devil has come down unto you having great wrath, because he know of that he had for a short time. This is the third woe. Remember the first two woes I mentioned when we started? This is the third woe. What happens? Well, the Antichrist is enveloped by Satan, and when he does, all literal hell breaks loose. The first half of the tribulation is one thing, but the second half is something else. Verse 13, and when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, why? Because he enveloped the Antichrist. All his power to be roam about as a free thinking spirit is over. over. He's contained in the antichrist. And ye that dwell in them, glow to the herbs of the earth, for the devil has come down and you're having great wrath because he know it, that he hath but a short time. Great wrath. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, Israel, who brought forth past tense, the man child, that's Israel, and the woman were given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness into her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, for any half years, from the face of the serpent. That way, in the Old Testament, the Bible calls Satan a serpent. who thinks that he was a literal snake is out of their mind. It's just a type of his personality. Satan is not a serpent, I don't like snakes, but the word serpent means… You don't have to say about, you know, in the Guardian, he's even an animal, it's true, he didn't say an animal. Didn't say an animal, you know. That's humanity, that's humanity. or the three wives of it. Yeah, yeah, the Bible doesn't tell how many there was. You appreciate it, isn't it? Yeah, I know. So he has three and a half years to persecute the nation of Israel, verse 15. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water like a flood. That's humanity, probably an army. After the woman that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. Oftentimes, you'll see in the book of Revelation where the word water, flood, is symbolic of humanity, mankind, the nations. And the earth helped the woman and the earth opened up her mouth and swallowed up the flood, which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, always has been, as matter of fact, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Let me point something out here if I may. The remnant of her seed are the nation of Israel and in my opinion they are the the oil and wine of Revelation 6.6. They are those Jews who have trusted Christ as their Savior. That's the only way you're going to get into them, just King them of God, or the only way you're going to get into heaven is by trusting Christ as your Savior, who keep the commandments of God. Does that mean that they didn't commit no? That means believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and now shall be saved. That's one of the commandments. The other is love one another. Those are the last two commandments. They keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. In other words, they believe the gospel and they are saved. The old serpent was rough with the woman and went to make war with her in her sleep. Remember what we talked about earlier? God hid them somewhere in the earth. I don't think it's Red Rose Canyon or Petros. I don't believe that's where it is because Satan knows where that is and if Satan wants to he could destroy that he's going to have missiles, bombs, he's going to have all kinds of God is just going to hide him somewhere. I don't know how, I don't know where he's just going to hide him and so probably somewhere in Geneva. Okay, good amount of guy chapter three, if you will, we're going to take a look at something back way back here. If you will, amount of guy chapter three. Do you know how many of Israel will be saved out of the tribulation? Well, a little more than that. Where did I say to go? Mount. I'm not sure yet. It's going to be 16, I believe. for one third row. In Malachi, Chapter 3, let's go here if you will. Verse 11, probably a good place to start. God said, in Malachi, Chapter 3, I will reduce the devour Satan for your sakes Israel. And he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field. Say at the Lord of hopes, and all nations shall call you blessed. And you We shall be a delight some land, say at the Lord of Hosts, by the way, it hasn't happened yet, has it? All nations called Israel, everything but blessed. Your words have been stout against me, say at the Lord, yet you say, what have we spoken so much against thee? You have said it is vain to serve God, and they have, have they not? So is the rest of the world. And what proposes is that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of Post. And now we call the proud happy, give they that work wickedness are set up, those that sound like today or not. They that try or tempt God are even delivered. Then they that fear the Lord spoke often one to another and the Lord harpaned and heard it. And a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that fear the Lord and that thought upon his name. By the way, if you fear the Lord, if you think about the Lord, if you read the Bible, everything you do is written somewhere in a book of remembrance. Did you know that? There's also a book of life. I think there are two separate books. The book of life is, if you know that everybody's name is written in a book of life from the foundation of the world, long before you and I were born, and if we die without trusting Christ as our Savior, our names are erased. If we trust Christ as our Savior, our name will never be erased. That's the Book of Life. But a book of remembrance, I believe, is a different book. For 17, and they shall be mine, say, the Lord of hosts, and that day when I make up my jewels, I will spare them as a man's spirit, his own son that serve with him. Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serve with God and him that serve with him not. When does that take place? Right after the tribulation in the kingdom. God Let me read that for us one more time. Then shall we return Israel into the kingdom and discern between the righteous and the wicked? You know something? You and I will have our new glorified bodies when that takes place. But can you imagine living in a world where discernment is made between the righteous and the wicked? We don't live there today, as a matter of fact, there is no discernment today. The wicked is wicked and everybody loves it. The righteous is a mean-spirited human being. If you're called a right-wing conspiracist, you know, among other things. People that mean they were talking, they were religion, but they were talking to one and they were weak minds. The religious? Yeah, the religious mind, and I want to say, now it takes a lot of courage. It does. Yeah. But I'll tell you something. I know some preachers, I've known quite a few of them over the years, they had more guts than the so-called whatever out there in the bar drinking and fighting the brawling. I know some preachers got more guts than those guys ever did. I don't want preacher, he was a green beret and he was in some kind of a secret service that he wouldn't even have to talk about, he wouldn't even tell me about it. And then Max Johnson, some for those of you that knew him, he was a rough dude, he was a police officer, and he was a boxer when he was young, and he didn't take anything from anybody. And I knew a couple other guys that were in the ministry that were a new one guy in West Virginia that worked in the oil fields, and he was a raggedy rough character. I'll tell you what, the guys he worked with respect to him because they respected everything about it so there's a little I'll take a I'll take a I'll take a tough old preacher over over these people any day yeah maybe I'm a sissy so I'm not I don't fit into the crowd I'm just I'm just run the mill old sissy I try to tell everybody that but you know what yeah better get off that subject so during a seven year tribulation old Satan will never quick, trying to destroy the nation of Israel. He's going to come to his end, but he's wrong because he knows he has, but it's such a short time. You know what I often wonder is, if Satan knew the Bible, and I know he does, why does he continue trying to have his own way? I guess that's the word, pride. I mean, I have to, you know, I talk with buddy, my last one, it's like, what made him decide, you know, in this, I mean, the series, he's like, I can't believe what made him decide that he could challenge God for his power, knowing that he was created by God. Right. Right. I mean, I'll set a price. I mean, what else is there, because like, he created you. He didn't do it as nothing. Well, consider this guy that wrote that new story. What's the name of that again? Yeah, the Golden Compass. There's a guy that thinks he can literally kill God. I mean, he really does. Yeah. He thinks that he can talk our young people, our young children, into reading this book, watching the movie, and kill God. He actually said so. Well, that's what the Louis Bates of what killed God. That's what he said. Well, I haven't read it. I don't, that's all I know. Oh. That's what Satan thinks, yeah. He already tried once, he thought if he killed Christ he would destroy it. How can you show the incident? Yeah, but how can you kill your creator? He does. If you read Isaiah chapter 14 and Ezekiel chapter 28, he does, or he did, I think he knows better now. But can you imagine not only Satan, but I also thought how can you imagine one third of the angels following? One third. God said the angels are so numerable that you cannot count them. But one third of them followed Satan to their destruction, just like most of our neighbors. I don't know. But it's pretty sad. All I know is, I'll tell you one remember the book that we were talking about. If you read the Bible most through revelations here you'll see that the angels would come down and open a little book. They would open a little book. God has everything written so that there will never be any mistake. All he has to do is open up his Bible and say I wrote it down. That's all he has to do. Everyone is going to be held accountable. Then there's a book of remembrance and he told us in the mouth that there is one. So when he opens it up, people are going to say, I didn't know about that while I wrote it down. And then there's a book of life and he's going to open the book of life. Some people's names are going to be erased. He said, Well, you were there. Your name was in there. Think about the great white thumb judgment. How many people are going to stand there say, Yeah, but Lord, that's not fair. Yeah, my mom and dad were Catholics for Mormons or to my mom and and and they were good Christian people you can't do this Yeah, and he's just gonna open up his book and say yeah, but what about the cross and price and blood what about all that? Everything's written down Do they have the demons? No, they're already judged. There's no judgment for them that they've already been judged. But they'll be, but the great way through this one, they… Yeah. But you know, there's going to be demonology throughout the kingdom. So they will not be completely just wiped out until Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Because if you stop to think about it, at the end of the thousand-year reign, a multitude is going to follow Satan called the second megaw. In my opinion, with the Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus Christ, God, the Father, rule of the earth, They have to be demon possessed in order to reject that, you almost have to be. And there's a lot of demon possession in our society today. There are a lot of people demon possessed that will never, never manifest, you'll never see it. But I can tell you, I've seen people go to church and I'll tell you, we're demon possessed. I've seen it. They look like Christians, they walk like Christians, but they don't talk like Christians. They don't tell you that they trust in Christ as their Savior. They won't acknowledge that, and I've seen them sitting in church looking out the window. They won't crack open the Bible. I've seen them. And those demon positions in our churches, preachers, and pastors are demon-possessed. They have, if they don't teach the truth, they teach a lot, and if they teach a lie, where do they get it? You don't get it from God. If you teach a lie, it has come from somewhere, God is not behind it. Now, there's a lot of people that teach a lie, let's say, concerning Repet. That's a lie, but there's a lot of preachers that teach that through ignorance. I wouldn't call them demon possessed. They teach it through ignorance because that's what they've been taught. and because that's what they've been taught, they adhere to it. If they would just go back and study it and learn it, then they'd get over that. But I think that's done through ignorance. I wouldn't call them demon possess, but there's a lot of demon possess preachers out there. And I'll tell you something. There's some people running for the presence of this country that, in my opinion, are demon possessed. I'll tell you, some of them look like they're pretty Christian. So anyhow, Revelation chapter 12 is a historical account of Satan, Israel, and the Lord Jesus Christ that begins with the time when Satan was cast out of heaven, went to persecute the woman and it ends with the Revelation chapter 12 ends with the end of the seven-year tribulation. So pretty awesome chapter once you get to know it. Okay. Any questions? All right. Let's have a word of prayer and we'll close you well. Dear Lord and Heavenly Father, I want to thank you for those that are here this evening. I want to thank you for the opportunity to teach your word. It's a blessing and an honor. Now I want to thank you for what you've taught me in your word. It's also a blessing and an honor. And I ask Lord that you bless those that are here this evening in Christ's name. Amen.
