literally his word, his prophecy. It is also a title deed to the planet earth. When the scroll is completely open, then all things will be fulfilled. He pins to open the seven seals scroll, and the first six seals are open during the first half of the seven-year tribulation. During the first half, the seven seals, the seven, the first six seals are open. The scroll represents his word. When the book of Revelation was written, his word was complete. Now, there's no more need for any revelations. We have it all. See where the heck do I want to go? I don't know. Let's begin in 2nd Timothy, chapter 3, if you will. Well, in 2nd Timothy chapter 3, we live in a crazy world, do we not? It is one crazy world. You know what? I don't know if you've been watching television lately, but the state of Wisconsin is going broke. And in order to solve the problem, they had to make some concessions. Well the governor of the state of Wisconsin is promoted in the news media as an evil human being. He's trying to save the state from going broke. It's a crazy world and a news media and everybody else promote him as an evil, terrible human being. But have no idea what's going on in a state of Wisconsin. We have the politicians and the unions working together to destroy our country. And they're doing a pretty good job. You ever watch TV? The attorneys advertise on TV for you to sue somebody. especially somebody that gave you some medicine. And then the following commercial, they'll promote some new medicine. And this new medicine will kill you. They'll give you something for a headache that'll wind up giving you a heart attack and kill you. And then of course, some lawyer will come on in the following commercial, telling you to sue the guy that just advertised for the medicine because you're… And another thing, if you were a loved one, died. Well, if you're dead, how are you gonna sue somebody, you're done, right? But anyway, It's a crazy world, we live in. We're asked to adopt a dog, adopt this cute little puppy because he's homeless and he was mistreated. And this cute little kitten, oh, isn't she sweet? Adopt this poor little kitty, but go out and get an abortion and kill a baby. Look, hey, hey, that's just a human being. But the animals, I always said I'm going to my next pet. Now, we have neighborhood dogs all over the place, look dogs, like dogs more than people. So my next pet is going to be a water buffalo, and I'm going to let him run free. And we lay walk out into the back yards after my water buffalo gets through. I'll teach him. But anyway, that's another story. Adopt a highway. We're even asked to adopt a highway. Didn't add something. I don't think I'm going to adopt a highway. But the real problem with society today is the fact that we have an attitude. We have a bad, bad attitude. And that attitude is based on our focus. We focus on meat. We're taught to focus on meat. We walk through our entire lives as if we're looking into a mirror, focusing on self. And I feel sorry for myself. And we talk about this all the time. And the reason I do that is because Satan instills that attitude, me, what about me? Nobody cares about me. I feel so bad, I got this little pain in my neck. What about me? Yet some poor guy down the street has pains all over his body from some disease, but you got this little pain, you poor thing. Timothy chapter 3. Might go read a couple verses here in the Bible before or not of time. This note also, that in the last days, perilous time shall come. Personally, I believe this has to do with the Church Age. The last days of the Church Age, matter of fact, John, and first John said, we're living in the latter days, last days. perilous time shall come, and I believe we're there. may not be, but in my opinion, we're there. For man shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. Without natural affection, that means man will love man and woman will love woman. That's not natural. Speakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, boys, that's unlike the age we're living in, does to me. Traders, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures, more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, lovers of pleasures, you know what there reminds me of, just hit me off, just top of my head. This guy on TV now there's a sitcom. What's that guy's name? Charlie Sheen, that's it. And do you know he's on at least seven or eight channels on TV two or three times a day. The world loves that garbage. The show that he's on is garbage. Absolute garbage. And then it's called, two and a half men, okay. What did you cut one and two? No, I don't want one. Well, one of the people on the show is a little boy. Well, he wasn't one time a little boy. And they take this little boy and they put him in the show. And he has to deal with all the perversion of these two adult men. And they make it look okay. It's crazy. But the world loves it. Lovers of pleasures, more than lovers of God. Doesn't that fit that show? Charlie Sheen, it about his wacky. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it, from such turn away, have you watched some of the religious channels lately, having a form of godliness? They got one woman on there who was a pastor of a church. She's got hair all over the place, looks like Methuselah. She got bow tops in her lips and who knows what else is false. I was ugly as a bucket of soap. I don't know it, and yet she's got a following, you wouldn't believe. It's unreal. Constantly asking for money. Yeah, always asking for money. Pretty good, yeah. Yeah, we walk through life. We've our lovers of our own self, you know why? Because all we do is look, go through life, look, oh, I love me, I just love me to pieces. Everybody else should, shouldn't they? After all, I am me, what a joke. I'm going to give you two types of people to look at theirself. Now, I'm doing this where you say, well, what has this got to do with regulation? I don't know, but I'll fit it in somehow. Just watch. Yeah, I will, really. I want to hold your place here. We'll come right back. Turn over to the Zinkill Chapter 28 if you will. All the way back in the Old Testament. By the way, I do know how I'm going to fit it in, so it's not a problem. Ezekiel, chapter 28. Where do I get this attitude of me, me, me, me? Was it only come from one place? Ezekiel, chapter 28, looking verse 11, if you will, you're probably familiar with these verses more over. The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man take up a lamentation upon the King of the that's Satan, by the way, and say unto him, let's say it the Lord God, thou sealest up to some full of wisdom and perfect and beauty that was Satan. Notice it said thou sealest up to some. I wonder what in the world that means. That means you're a perfect type of humanity. That means more than that, but that's pretty good. Thou has been in Eden the Garden of God. Every precious stone was I covering. Let's go to the bottom of that verse. And gold, the workmanship of thy your Bible may say Tabernits or Tembruns and of thy Flutes was prepared in the and the day that thou was created. Thou art the anointed cherub, Old Satan called Lucifer by the way before he was cast out of heaven. Thou art the anointed chair of bed covereth and I have set thee so. That was upon the holy mountain of God. Thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou was perfect and thy ways from the day that Thou was created till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise, they have filled the midst of thee with violence. And Thou hast sinned Therefore, I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God and I will destroy the whole covering chair from the midst of the stones. Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty. Now, look up here for just a minute. Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty. You know what Satan did? He went through life looking in a mirror. Oh, man, I'm beautiful. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go up above God. I'm going to sit on a throne of God. I'm going to be better than God because, after all, I'm beautiful. And we have mankind doing that today, don't we? You know why most people on society are on Pro's Act today? Because they go through life looking at, oh, I got this problem. I'm wonderful. I'm perfect. But I got just a little pain. I can't stand it. And so we go through life. I guess my question is seeing how He knew God created him, what gave him a notion that he could, you know, be all the guys when he was created. I don't know. It makes no sense. Doesn't make any sense? Of course, it doesn't make any sense being a Muslim or a Catholic or a Jehovah's Witness or a Mormon. Matter of fact, you take the R out of Mormon and you've got moron. That's my feeling. You don't have to feel the same way. That's just fine. Or you take the eye off of Moroni, and you got Moroni. It's fits, far left turn. Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness. In other words, Satan was brilliant. But because he went through his life, looking in a mirror, oh, I'm perfect, I'm beautiful. By the reason of his brightness, he corrupted his wisdom. Isn't that how humanity works? We have two kinds of people that go through life looking at theirself and I'm going to read them off to you because I got them written down here focusing on self promotes two kinds of people. It promotes either arrogance or insecurity. Now think about this. It promotes arrogance because if I see myself as important, everyone else must think about. Isn't that arrogant? Or if I think I'm beautiful, handsome, smart, then everyone else must. They have to. Isn't that arrogant? Oh yeah. Doesn't that sound like Satan? Doesn't that sound like his followers today? Oh. So, doesn't that sound like the woman on TV? But the hair that goes all over the place and the bow talks. Oh, I'm beautiful. I don't think so, but anybody. I pay all my attention to myself, so everyone else should. That's arrogant. You see, that's what happened when I go through life looking at things like this. I have a liberal attitude. I may criticize you, but you cannot criticize me. You ever know anybody like that? Oh, yes. That's a good attitude. That's what happened when you go through life. Oh, I'm perfect. You can't criticize me. But you know you're stupid, isn't that something? attitude. Needs attention. Out in public wherever I go I want attention because after all I'm beautiful. I'm smart. That's called arrogance. An arrogant person will probably never get saved because they spend all their time looking on their beauty and their perfection. They don't need Jesus Christ. They don't need to cross After all, I'm not a sinner. I don't need it. Then, of course, there's the insecurity side. I see myself as unimportant. There one, everybody's there for everyone else must insecurity. You know where that comes from? Focusing on myself. Then, of course, if I focus, So I see my flawed, ugly, dumb appearance. Everybody else must, in security. I don't want attention. Everybody else, everybody will notice my faults. You see, just the opposite of arrogance, insecurity. I'm not loved or needed, therefore I have a backward attitude, whereas the one who is arrogant has a forward attitude. afraid of being criticized in security. Because why? Because I spend all my time looking at myself. I've got this word only into my nose. Oh, I look terrible. I know everybody sees it. I got one right here. Not very big enough. Do it. Don't I have one right there? No, I'm sorry. I just put me on a spot. Hates attention, especially out in public because they feel like they're not needed in security. When he comes to self looking up myself and my salvation then because I have I may have won or the two attitudes this is hard work because of arrogance may never be saved because I'm not a sinner or God loves me the way I am I'm perfect. How's that feels good about religion and a religious organization since I'm perfect I picked the perfect church we have a perfect religion therefore I cannot go to hell. I know some people like that believes he may save himself why because he's perfect he's beautiful he's brilliant arrogant or too important to be sent to hell God knows in me to hell after all look at me hey not something never happen as everything and does not need God. Where does that come from? Sounds like Satan to me, doesn't it? Seekil chapter 28. Because of my beauty, it was lifted up. Of course, on the other hand, if you're insecure, you may never be saved because you think, I'm not worthy of being saved. Why would God save me? Look at all the things I've done. Well, because of a withdrawn attitude may never go to church, may never go to a Baptist church and walk down an aisle because after all they're insecure. Don't want to be noticed. Of course you're not supposed to walk down an aisle anyway, but that's what we're told in. So they may never go to church because they know that if they do then somebody in the church is going to pay some attention to them and wait, oh, I can't do that. We have all these attitudes that originated from Good Old Satan because his heart was lifted up because of his beauty, but he will be cast to the ground back to second Timothy, if you will. So we have these people with a eye look at me attitude. I look at myself, I go through my whole life looking in a mirror. Didn't that something? And that's what we're taught today, aren't we? Our school system teaches us to go through life just looking at yourself because after all, you're perfect. But God says that these people with an attitude like this in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 5 have a form of godliness but denying the power of it from such turn away. You say, well, you know, God doesn't want me to hate anybody. No, he does not. But he does not want you to spend your entire life with a lie, because pretty soon you'll fall into the same trap. For these, for of this sort are they who creep into houses, lead captive silly women, laden with sins, led away with divers' lust, verse 7, ever learning, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Isn't that exactly the world we live in today. We live in a religious, religious society that is ever learning but never able to come to the truth. What is the truth? The truth is you're a sinner. The truth is you cannot go to heaven on your own. The truth is Jesus Christ died, was buried and rose again for your sins. That's the truth. But when you go through life focusing on yourself you will never see the truth, you will only see me." Isn't that so? Never coming to the truth. Verse 8, now as Janis and Janis was stood Moses, so do these also resist the truth. Men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith, but they shall proceed no farther for their folly shall be made manifest unto all men, as there's also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long suffering, so forth, persecutions, afflictions, verse 12. Well, I need to read that whole verse there, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, Listera, what persecutions I endured, but out of them all, the Lord delivered me. Let me look up here for just a minute. You know that is a perfect type of the rapture of the church. That is a perfect type of the Lord delivering you and I out of the seven-year tribulation. I told you I was going to fit it in, didn't I? There's always a way. It's a perfect type of the Lord delivering you and I out of the seven-year tribulation. You and all that will love godly in Christ Jesus' self-suffer persecution. Verse, but evil men and seducer shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. You know, these verses were part of the reason that I put a book together some time ago called No Remedy, the disease that plague society today, false religion, a lie is the disease that plague society today. Do you know not one member of the church deserves to go to heaven when they die? Not one. I'm saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but I don't deserve to go to heaven when I die, but I'm gone. because I did anything, but because God, the Lord Jesus Christ gave me his word. He said, whosoever believe in me had everlasting life, that's his word, and he cannot go back on his word. There is one thing I can do that God can't do. I can lie, cheat, steal. I can sin, but God cannot. And because I'm a sinner, I don't deserve eternal life. When the Seven-year tribulation begins, every one left behind will be lost centers. The world will be full of people who walk around looking at their own selves. And that's why it'll be such a chaotic time period in history. J. Fencermaker gave us this drawing. It looks confusing, doesn't it? It's all different colors, isn't it? You say, boy, that's a mess. No, it isn't. That's exactly what the seven-year tribulation will be like. It'll be chaotic. It won't be beautiful bright sunny days. It'll be dark, dreary, terrible. Just the other day there was a earthquake in Japan. Remember that? You've seen it all, I'm sure. Somebody said that Japan moved eight feet the entire continent. I don't believe that. But is sure it was devastating, wasn't it? Yeah, it was at the coast, one big feat. Yeah, I don't believe that. But I'll tell you one thing, when the seven year tribulation begins, read Matthew chapter 24, there will be earthquakes in diverse places. Think about 30, 40, 50, 100 earthquakes at one time. Think about all the tsunamis, and think about this, you won't be here. I'm not going to be here. If it happens tomorrow, today, something I won't be here. Oh, excuse me, the 21st of March, remember that? Yeah, the 21st of May. I know they said March 21st. Oh, they did move to May now? I don't know. The preacher in Florida has been saying May 27th for like two years now. Yeah, these other people since March 21st. So you got that much time to pack your bag today, right? Yeah, I'm going to pack it first. Personally, I don't know what it's going to be. He also predicted it was going to happen in 1887. I know, that's cool. But he still has people following him. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, isn't that the stab himself? There were so many things I wanted to get on the day, but I'm out of time. But the bottom line is this. In verse 13, evil men and seducer shall wax. worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. And then Paul says, he gives a little warning here. He says, all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine. Repruit, direction, instruction, and righteousness that the man of God may be perfect through the furniture to all good works. In other words, God gave us this. You know what the Bible says in Revelation? says there are blessings promised to those who read and hear the words of this prophecy. You know what that blessing is? Remove all fear and all doubt. You don't have to go through life looking at your puny little self. What you need to do is open up your eyes and look at the rest of the world. It's a big world we live in. I was going to go to Isaiah chapter 6 but you know when once you open up your and you stop focusing on yourself. You can see the world that God created. And you don't have to worry about evolution. I know better than that because I know what the Bible says. And I know that I'm not going to be left to go behind and go through the seven-year tribulation because God promised their rapture. I'm going to be out of here. And I know that when I put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ because He promised to He'll give me eternal life, I'm going to have it. And then spend all your time focusing on other people, instead of yourself. There's a lot of good people in this world. There's a lot of people people, good people are people. And then all your time focusing on yourself, you'll never see the world as it really is. And I'll tell you what, stop picking on your wife because she has feelings too. Stop picking on your husband because he has feelings too. Stop picking on your neighbor. I got one I don't even like so I don't pick on it because I don't talk to him Because they got feelings too. It's a big world out there. How about your brother? My brother? Yeah, yeah It is a big world And I'll tell you what when you stop focusing on yourself, do you know what you you can take the pros act and throw it away You can take all the drugs you're taking and throw them away Well, some of you got to take up just throw them away because you're not focusing on your puny little south When the seven-year tribulation begins it'll begin with an entire world that focuses on its puny little south I know one thing. I don't want to be here when it happens to you I'm not eager My Bible says that I'm a center this hand represents me This represents my sin I can go to hell and pay for it, and if I focus on myself, all my life I probably will. Because I'll never see the cross, I'll never see Christ, I'll never see my need. I'll always look at myself as I'm not a sinner. And I go to church and to me and to praise their good buddies, and if he's gone to heaven, I know I am. All that's focused on me, Bible says, focus on the truth, you're a sinner. focus on the fact that you can't save yourself from your sin no matter what you do, but Jesus Christ is God. He died on the cross, was buried and rose again for the forgiveness of sin, and all I have to do is believe in Him. He takes my sin, marked at the page. What a deal, huh? Can't beat it. That's the truth. And if you see that, if you see that, it's because you're not spending all your time focusing on poor little mean. Or you could die and go to hell. Pretty hot down there, isn't it? Yeah. How you going? You don't want to go? Let's have a work prayer. So is it. Your Lord and Heavenly Father, we thank you for Jesus Christ who died on the cross, paid for our sin. He made a promise. If you believe he died on the cross for you, all you have to do is believe it. He said you have eternal life. Your sins are paid. Let me ask you this morning. Do you believe Christ died on a cross for your sins? Where do you spend all your time focusing on poor little me? What's time to stop doing that? It's beginning to go time to go through life. Remove the mirror because sooner or later you're gonna walk into something with mirror in front of you. Remove the mirror and take a look at reality. Jesus Christ is God. He died on the cross. He paid for your sin and there's no other way to get to have an except through him. Dear Lord, we want to bless each one here this morning. Thank you for the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for his word, and his name, amen. Okay, very good. Let's see here.
