I don't think it's there anymore, but if you're interested just look in the back page this is an excellent book and while I got that out I'd like to read something to you out of it. I read something a couple weeks ago but I'd like to read something else because this has a little bit to do with what we're going to talk about this more. This is an excellent book. If you don't know what's going on in world today with the new Bibles and that this is unbelievable. This lady is awesome. But anyhow, a quote that she has in here, and a quote is from a lady by the name of Blavatsky. Yep. Yeah, you heard of that, huh? Yeah, Blavatsky, yep. Yeah, she is a Satanist and a spiritualist and she's an anti-Christ. She's one of the people that's trying to bring about your new Bibles, the NIV and the N-A-S-B and the N-E-V and the T-E-V and all these ungodly versions that are out there that people are using. If you watch TV and you watch the evangelists on TV, they all use the N-I-V, the N-E-V and they're just plain ungodly. But this is what this lady says, so pay attention. She said, Blavatsky, that which for nearly 1,500 years was imposed, imposed on Christendom as a book of which every word was written under the direct supervision of the Holy Ghost. Now I want you to pay attention to the book, the Bible she's talking about, was imposed on Christian them, and then she admits that every word was under the direction on supervision of the Holy Ghost. She admits it, of which, not one syllable, nor a comma could be changed without sacrilege. That's absolutely correct. When the Bible was translated by the scribes, if they made one mistake, they could go halfway through the Old Testament, if they got one comma right wrong, rather, they started right from the beginning, that's what they did. Noracama could be changed without sacrilege, and then she goes on to say, is now being retranslated, revised, and corrected, and clipped of whole verses, in some cases, of entire chapters. Isn't that strange if it's she admits that it's divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit, but now it's being corrected? You think Satan's not busy? Of course he is. Yeah, and I got to say that when the seven-year tribulation begins, and we're going to begin discussing that for the next few weeks, when the seven-year tribulation begins, your King James Bible will be put on the show, the Antichrist, will do his best to eliminate every King James Bible that's out there. There will probably not be an NIV, there will probably be something called the one-world Bible or something like that, or the new one-world Bible, or the new world or something like that, and it will be widely accepted by everyone that's left on the face of the earth, this new Bible and it'll make Jesus Christ look like a absolute jerk. That's their attempt and it'll make Satan look like the God and he is the God of this world but it'll make Satan look like the one true God and that's a quote from Blavatsky. Now if you're interested in enhancing your Bible and studying the Bible you really should have this book and if you're interested you just take a look at it after the service and get the address out of the back. Also while we're on it here this book by Dr. McChance questions and answers there's two of those. If you're biome he wants you to buy two there are eight dollars each and if you're gonna pass through a church if you're gonna teach the Bible or if you just want to learn about it, you really need to have these two books in your library. If you're interested, I put the location, how to get these on the back, on the door back there also, but if you're interested and you want to get the ad, it's in the back of the book, you can get it, and I have it with me here today. So if you're interested, and that's about all I have to show you for now, but anyway, that's all the announcements I have and the reason I brought those books up and read the quote is that it's going to have a little bit to do with what we're going to discuss this morning in our Bible study. Okay, we need to have our prayer service and then we'll get on this morning with time on revelation. We intend to do that. We're not just going to gloss over it. We're going to spend a lot of time because there's so much going on in revelation and today that pertains to the book of Revelation. Remember in Revelation chapter 2 and 3 we have a picture of the church age, the seven churches, and then the very last church is the Church of Leo to see it which will be the church on the earth. When the rapture takes place it will be a lukewarm church with a lukewarm message. And I think we're living there today. I was watching television trying to get a grip on the TCT channel which is a quote religious. And John Higgie was asking for support for the TCT so-called Christian channel. I wouldn't give support for nothing. There's no gospel. It's just a lukewarm message and to even ask for somebody to send support to this channel which has all the the debunk Evangelicals who have no idea what they're even teaching. You've got people like a whole G was Rod Parsley, Jan Crouch, and all these people teaching aid. They'll tell you that Christ died on the cross for you, and then they'll begin there, just go all over the place. And the problem with our world today comes from the pulpits. You say, we have have a lot of evil politicians, yes we do. We have a lot of people that are walking the streets that are evil. Yes we do, but all that evil originates from the pulpit. God told Israel many years ago that the reason they were in, the problem they were in, the dire straits they were in because of their message. And that's where we're living today. From the 7-year tribulation begins, there's a good reason for it. In chapter 4 and 5 of Revelation, we have a picture of the church in heaven after the rapture. And then in chapter 5, we have a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ just getting ready to open the 7-sealed scroll. The 7-sealed scroll is the title deed to the planet earth. Jesus Christ paid for this earth with his own blood. He will redeem the earth some day after it goes through seven years of tribulation. The seven year tribulation is a cleansing. The earth will be cleansed and at the end of the seven years, Jesus Christ will come down, judge the nations, cast everyone who is lost directly into the lake of fire. And those who are saved, and there won't be many, will go into the thousand year reign. When Jesus Christ opens the seventh seal, the very first seal he opens is in chapter 6, verse 1, but before we go there, go to chapter 5, if you will, in verse 9. We see a picture of the church in heaven, and in verse 9 of chapter 5, they sang a new song, saying, thou are worthy to take the book to scroll and to open its seals. For thou was slain and has redeemed us the church to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people in nation. And has made us unto our God a kingdom or kings of priests, and we shall reign on the earth. That's the church. If you're a safe born again Christian when the rapture takes place you will be taken into heaven. You have been made a promise you will reign on the earth as a priest and a king, but before that takes place there has to be seven years of tribulation called the wrath of God. And I be held in verse 11 and I heard the voice of many angels round about the thrones, and so forth, 10,000 times, 10,000 of thousand can't even be numbered. And then on down is chapter 6, verse 1, by the way, let's go back up to verse 13. And every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard, I sing, blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sith on the throne, and unto the Lamb forever, and ever. You know who's saying that? We are. And not only that, notice it says here, every creature that is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, etc. Every creature, everything that moves, every big animal from the elephant all the way down to the little smallest bug is saying. Glory to God, and blessing the God, honor and glory, every creature that is in heaven And on the earth, that's hard to imagine, isn't it? He's a creature who can't talk. I don't know, that's what the Bible says. That's what the Bible says. Then in chapter six, verse one, the seven-year tribulation begins with a rider on a red horse. But before we take a close look at this rider on the red horse who happens to be the anti-Christ, who, by the way, may be on this earth today, I have no idea. But before we take a look at this, I want you to go, if you will, over to the book of First Thessalonians. And we're going to take a look at a few other things, if you will. First Thessalonians. And then if we don't run out of time, there's a couple other things I want to cover before we're out of time. We've got to lay the foundation. First Thessalonians, chapter 1, verse 10, Paul the Apostle talking to the church that you and I, And he says, and to wait for his son from heaven, that's what we're supposed to do, by the way. Wait for his son, Jesus Christ, if you're a Christian, you've trusted Christ as your Savior, your goal in life should be to look forward to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Look forward to the future because you know what'll happen if you don't. You'll spend all of your time focusing on yourself, and that's all you can see. Me, me, me, whoa, maybe I got this problem. Why did the Lord abandon me? You'll focus on yourself If you don't focus on the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, what he did for you His shed blood the fact that you are saved you cannot lose it and if you don't focus on the very simple truth That he's coming back to take you home Then you'll spend all your time focusing on me poor little me, who was me, who was me? Focus on Christ. Whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus who did what? Delivered us from the wrath to come. One of these days you will either die and go to heaven, or if the rapture takes place, you are not subject to the rapture because he delivered us from the wrath to come. Isn't it fantastic? On over if you will, chapter four, if you will, your chapter two here, chapter two, in verse 13. For this cause also thank we God without ceasing because when you receive the word of God, which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth. The word of God which affectionately work also in you that believe. What is it that God, you out of the wrath of God into the being, into the family of God, it is the truth, the very simple truth. Remember the stuff I read to you this morning from the book and so forth? Satan hates the truth. He is destroying the truth. He's trying to take Jesus Christ out of the Bible and put himself in, and he's doing a pretty good job, but it's the truth of God, the Word of God, which effectively work with also in you that believe. Let's see here, verse 19, we're trying to skip some verses here, verse 18, rather. Wherefore, we would have come unto you, even I, Paul, once and again, but Satan hindered us. Good old Satan, huh? Let me ask you something. Do you ever notice Satan working your life? Oh, I have. I got a book being printed and I've been added for ages. And you've never seen the problems I had to go through to get this simple notebook printed. Just to get printed. I turned on a computer one day and one whole chapter was just gone. Gone. Where the heck did it go? It was still in the computer. I don't know where it went. I'd say Satan was behind it. You know somebody's always going to say old preacher that's soaked out on them. I don't think so. I walked away, came back an hour later and it was there again. After I cussed and swore a little bit, Satan accomplished his goal. I said where did it go? Be on the desk, shut the computer off, went outside, complained to my wife a little bit. She gets tired of hearing that stuff. Satan is very busy, isn't he? And you know what Satan wants you to do. I'm going to tell you something while we're out of here. Satan wants you to believe you're a failure. Do you know that? He wants you to believe that you've sinned to the point that you're worthless. He wants you to do that. He does that to me quite regularly. You know what I do when he does that? Go listen to him. Yeah, you're right. You're right, Satan. But I'm going to keep right on doing it, so you can just get behind me, old boy. You know? I know I'm not worth it, but I'm going to keep right on the going. But He will hinder you, verse 19, for what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, at His coming, for ye are our glory and joy, over to chapter 4, if you will. In chapter 4, we're not going to read these verses, but verses 13 through 18 is a picture of the rapture of the church, the rapture of the church, and then look in chapter 5, verse 9, just one verse, if you will, maybe two, hey Jerry, verse 9, for God had not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him, wherefore comfort yourselves together and edify one another, even as also you do. In other words, you have eternal life, and if the rapture takes place tomorrow, don't worry about it, you're gonna go. You are not appointed to the wrath, you're not appointed to go through the segment of your tribulation, you're out of it, you're gonna go to be with the Lord for all time and eternity. Satan doesn't want you to believe that. Chapter, second Thessalonians, if you will, We're gonna cover just a couple of things in second Thessalonians and we'll get back on this the next week because there are some other things I want to take a look at. Chapter 2 we've been over this many times for those of you that sat in the church and this church. We've been over this many times but we're gonna touch it one more time. In Chapter 2 Paul makes a statement and what took place in Thessalonico was the church here, that somebody had wrote them a letter, put Paul's name on it, and told them that they were going into the day of the Lord, which is the second year of tribulation. They believed it. They thought they were going into the day of the Lord, the tribulation, because they had got no letter from someone who signed Paul's name to it. Now, we beseech you, brethren, in verse 1 by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together to him. That's the rapture. That you be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit nor by word nor by letter as from us that the day of Christ or the day of the Lord is at hand present. It should be the day of the Lord. The day of Christ is a mis-translation. It should be the day of the Lord which is the seven-year tribulation. said, let no man deceive you by any means. For that day shall not come, except there come a or the falling away first and that man of sin be revealed, the Son of Tradition. Now on down if you will. Let's go to verse 7 because I want to skip some verses here and we'll get back to this next week. Verse 7 if you will. For the mystery of an equity that already work only he who now let us will continue to let or he who now hindereth will continue to hinder until he be taken out of the way. Who is that he? Holy Spirit. Yes. The Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way, where will you be? In heaven. Because the Holy Spirit will never leave you. And if you put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are born again by the Holy Spirit. That means in Dwap by, sealed by, protected by, and He, the Holy Spirit, will never leave you. But when He is taken out of the way, you've got to pay attention to these verses now. When He is taken out of the way at the rapture, notice the very next verse. And then shall that wicked one be revealed, the Antichrist. you're gone. Will you know who the Antichrist is, not while you're alive on this earth? You will not know it. When the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and so forth, I was written in a paper the other day, and there was an article in the paper about a woman in the, I don't know, a North Carolina somewhere, she had a big banner on her car saying that The Rapture is going to take place. I think it's May 15th of this year, something like that. She figured it out, yeah, figured all this out. Put a great big hat of all written on her car. It's got a big white automobile. And she believes this stuff. And they made a big deal out of it, put it in the paper. My Bible says of the day and hour knows no man. Anybody's trying, anybody, whatever. It's pretty crazy. Satan is busy, isn't he? you will we're going to take a moment here and we're going to take a look at how Satan corrupts the Bible, how he corrupts preachers and how he does what he does and why he does it. First of all I want you to go if you will to just one verse in your Bible in Isaiah chapter 10 or Isaiah chapter 14 rather Isaiah chapter 14. How many do you have a strong concordance at all? Well the next time you look in your strong concordance and you look up, go to the letter L and look up the word Lucifer. And underneath the word Lucifer you'll probably see that it says a name given to a king of Babylon, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. And then it may also say, in the same place, a morning star, wrong, wrong. First of all, in Isaiah chapter 14, verse 12, it says, how art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning? How art thou cut down to the ground who did this week in the nations. I got a Bible with me, it's a parallel Bible. And in my parallel Bible, I was going to take time to read to you but I'm running out of time, I won't do that. But I've got King James Bible and the new King James Bible. And by the way, if you read the preface to the new King James Bible, it says in the preface that the King Jane Bible was the most perfect Bible ever written, and then it goes on to say that the new King Jane Bible is accurate and readable. Well, the old King Jane Bible was the most perfect and you've got to do when the saccharine is readable. What kind of a statement is that? Pretty ridiculous, isn't it? You say guys were on keyboards. Yeah. You know, I think Satan believes that we're stupid. I really do. Well, when it comes to him, I probably am. I mean, he's got an IQ of probably a couple of million, I don't know, whatever. But in the original context, and if you do a little study on this, in the original context, and I've done it, and by the way, in this book I had by Gail Ripney, or she did too, the word Lucifer just means light bearer. And I've written it up there, and it comes from two words. And the root word is where you really have to go. It's a word, H-A-L-A-L. and it means to shine, to rave, to rant, boast. It means clear as light, as a clear light, or Lucifer, the ranter, the raver, the boaster. Is that sound like Jesus Christ to you? But the new Bible, the NIV and the NEV, take Lucifer, the son of the morning, out of that context, and put in the morning star, which is really Jesus Christ. So they take out Lucifer who is Satan and put Jesus Christ in that verse, the new versions of the Bible do that. And if you've got one of those Bibles, hang on to it and study it and read it, but don't use it as the word of God. to the King James Bible, which is the only thing that we have that is close to be an accurate. And it says a lot of other things, but if you look at it, not only that there's something else I know that you need to know. The word son is a Hebrew word, B-E-N, and it means a lot of things, but it means a son, generation. And the word star, morning star, which the new translations put into the word son, put into the word star is not even in the original. It's Satan that worked. And so what I'd like to do is give you an example of what God says not to do and where Satan and the false doctrine and the false Bibles come from. And by the way, when you watch these evangelists on TV, always remember that they're doctrine. If it's a lie, if it doesn't come from God, it has to come from somewhere. So if it doesn't come from God, where does it come from? Satan and his little demons. Well, they may not be that little. Never seen one. I don't know how big they are. I've seen people that are demon possessed. But anyway, go to your Bibles, if you will. Let's begin in Deuteronomy chapter 18. Now, I want to show you the warning where false doctrine comes from, and I've got to tell you the truth. If I thought for one second that I was into false doctrine, that I was teaching a lie, and one of the many, many lies, as you know, as we teach here all the time, as the word repent, turn from sin, that's a lie. And if it doesn't come from God, where does it come from? Satan, and if you're in a church and you're telling people to turn from sin and believe in Christ, that's a lie, it's standable, you've got to come from somewhere, it doesn't come from God. So I would be a little worried. Deuteronomy chapter 18, if you will, notice what God does between His Word and false doctor. Verse 9, Deuteronomy chapter 18, when thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God give it the thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. The abomination, by the way, that the Lord is referring to, is false religion. I mean, there are all kinds of abominations, but it all begins with false religion. It always begins with false religion, because false religion leads to this, leads to this, leads to this. We're talking this morning downstairs. There's a church called the United Church of Christ founded on false religion. They have homosexual and women preachers. They not only have homosexuals and women, they have lesbian preachers. False religion. False religion begins, then you add to it and this evil and that evil and that evil. When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveeth thee, thou shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. And then God goes on to tell us where they learn it, so pay attention. There shall not be found among you, anyone who makeeth his son, or his daughter to pass through the fire, or who useeth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. By the way, there are no different between a white witch and a black witch, a witch is a witch. It doesn't matter which witch, if it's a witch it doesn't matter which witch. For a charmer, or a consultor of mediums, familiar spirits, that's a medium, or a wizard, or a necromancer, for all that do these things are an abomination to the Lord, because of these abominations, the Lord that God tried them out from before thee. Why are there gonna be a seven-year tribulation? That's the reason. That's the reason. thou shall be perfect with the Lord thy God. How do you get perfect with the truth? Reading the truth, understanding the truth, obeying the truth. You see, and if it doesn't come from this word, then it doesn't come from God. Let me give you some more references and then we'll go to Isaiah, But Leviticus Chapter 19, verse 31. Hey, Dan. Yeah. This stuff here is what you see popular today with all this fortune tellers and psychics, palm readers and tarot cards and so it's all this stuff right here. Yeah. Well she's a witch, but you know that means she's like an earthworm. She's a nice witch. Yeah. She's an earthworm. Other couple shows on TV that's a big witch. Yeah. She had nice legs, but I mean what the heck. You know, it's a joke. I shouldn't say that. Why not? But yeah, it all comes from this. And God, he goes, the word, the definition means witchcraft. That's what it means. And then the word observer means to cloud over is what it means. So that all these things have, no wonder God put it in here. Also, he put down the Leviticus chapter, chapter 20, verse 26 and 7. But let's go to Isaiah chapter 8, if you will. And this nails it pretty much. And Isaiah chapter 8, Isaiah chapter 8, and verse 19. And when they shall say unto you, seek unto those who have, or your Bible may say them that have familiar spirits, it really is a medium and unto wizards that peep and mutter. I have a note in my Bible that says, to chirp faintly by ventriloquism. That's what I have in my Bible. Peep and mutter to chirp faintly by ventriloquism. Should not of people seek unto their God, should they seek for the living to the dead. In other words, if you're going to see God, don't go to a medium, a necromancer, all these people who don't believe in the Bible and do all of it, first 20, to the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. It's simple isn't it? If it doesn't agree with this it's a lie it's darkness it's not light and it's no wonder it's no wonder that we are living in under all the evil that's going on in this world and you know we just selected a bunch of Republicans things are gonna change yeah like heck things are not gonna change yeah they say well the Republicans are gonna run the house now we're gonna straighten things out who in the heck are you kidding there's only one way to straighten things out and that's when Jesus Christ sits on the throne he will straighten it out there's only one way and he's not there yet good old Satan good old Satan is alive and well on the planet earth and he's pretty busy and so are all his little demons perverting God's words slowly and surely taking this Bible the only by the only good Bible we have left, the King James. I don't know if you have a duet Bible in your library or not. I have a duet Bible and a duet dreams Bible, both Catholic and they're not bad. They're really not bad. You just got to be careful for the notes of the Bible, because they're all wrong. But they're closest to the King James Bible that we have. Other than that, there is a Bible on the market today that's worth a I can't say, I don't know, yeah. I've heard of it, but that's one I don't have. That was the one that the children's brought with them and they used to prior see the King James making it decree that he wanted to put it all in right and straight. You knight all the different denominations. That's the only Bible I don't have so and I've never read it so if I don't have something I haven't read I don't comment on it because of I do know that It's kind of ironic how we got to King James Bible. You're all familiar with that Yeah, you know the King James got mad at the church because they told him he couldn't be a homosexual He said, well, that's the way he wanted. I'm gonna make sure everybody gets Bible because you don't want him to have one That's where we got the Bible from, but thank you for it. In closing, we're out of time already. A little bit past, but anyway. You think I had a comment? Yes. You said there earlier, but Satan wants people to think that they've sinned too much or you sinned. There's certain people that that's what leads at depression and grow the views and alcoholism too. A lot of people are just so depressed because of that. But there's people that I've witnessed too for years that think that they've sent too much that they could never be saved. But there's people that actually believe that. Yeah, but I'll tell you what, I think that's a cop out. I think they use that as a cop out. That's their way of saying, I don't want anything to do with Jesus Christ. I've had people tell me that too, but I'll tell you what, once you tell them the Christite on the cross for all of their sins and they have the same excuse, it's a cop out. what they're really saying is, this is what I believe. I know I'm dealt with it too, this is what I believe. What they're really saying is, well, you don't know what I've done. That's what they tell you. And you can tell no matter what you've done, but well, you don't know, you just don't know what. What they're really saying is, if I feel sorry enough for myself, maybe Jesus will have pity on me. That's really what they're saying. And that way they don't have to put their faith trust in him. But if I feel sorry for me, you know, I've done this. Maybe God will look at me and say, oh, the poor, the old guy, it won't work. But that's what I believe. I agree with you. It's it. But I've heard that excuse time and time again. Anyhow, I, and you know, Satan wants him to believe that he wants him to. It won't work. It won't work. Anyhow, and closing. This hand represents me. I'm a sinner. This represents my sin. You ever see this before? By the way, the Bible says I need to go to hell and pay for my own sin because it needs to be paid for. We're all sinned and come short of the glory of God or the Bible says Jesus Christ died on the cross was buried and rose again. That's the simple gospel. All I have to do is believe it. When I believe it, my sins are marked paid. He puts it to his account. They're covered by his blood on the cross for all time and eternity. It sounds like a good deal to me. If you're here today and you've never done that, you ought to try it. You'll have complete forgiveness. A home and eternity, and nobody can take it away from you, and the Holy Spirit We'll seal it from that day forward. What a deal, huh? Let's have a word of prayer and we'll close. Dear Lord, we thank for the Lord Jesus Christ. We thank You for our future home in heaven, and we thank You, Lord, that we can go through this life. No, we have complete forgiveness of sin by the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and His resurrection guarantees it. Dear Lord, we thank You for the Christ name. Let's see each one here this morning in his name. Amen. Okay, let's see here, I'm gonna make a change. Let's see, please rise and turn the page. Whatever I have wrote down there. Three, nine. Okay, 389 in your him note. I will sing one verse. Thank you very, very, very much.
