Greetings, everyone! Welcome to Sabbath services. Here we are the last Sabbath of January, and time keeps marching on. There are a lot of things developing in the world. So, today we're going to catch up on some of the prophecies that have been working their way toward fulfillment.

There's one thing that we can look at that any extended time that we have is so that all the prophecies will be fulfilled in God's time. Remember this, don't feel badly if you don't live to see the return of Christ while you're still alive in the flesh, because every true Christian before you is in the grave.

Now then, a lot of things are happening in the world. A lot of things have to develop and a lot of things have been developing, but let's think about all the things that it's going to take in order for some of these verses to be fulfilled. What we will do, we will come from this point and work backward to our day.

Revelation 9:13: "And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet; and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God; and it said to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet, 'Loose the four angels who are bound in the great River Euphrates.' Then the four angels, who had been prepared... [notice how on time God is] ...the hour and day and month and year… [we would work it backwards a year, a month, a day, an hour ] ...were loosed, so that they might kill a third of men… [there are some awful things going to take place] …and the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand; and I heard the number of them" (vs 13-16).

Notice it says armies, many. It's to prepare the way for the kings of the East. That's where they're coming from. How is that? The only place you're going to get armies of 200-million is from the Orient, mainly from China!

  • How are the things progressing?

When you stop and think, in order to get the armies to come up to the River Euphrates:

  • How are they going to get there?
  • If they walked, how long would it take?

Well, they're not going to walk! The Chinese already have a highway from Kazakhstan, and they have a lot of natural gas and a lot of oil there.

Sidebar: Now, here's a little message for ex-President Obama. Your global warming thing could not be stopped, because in Kazakhstan there is a huge hole that is 300-meters across. It's burning all the time because of natural gas. So, if you want to get rid of carbon dioxide, would you please pack up your suitcase and go over there and close that hole up! Never happen!

What they've been doing is this: The Chinese have built a pipeline running from Kazakhstan going east into China. When you have nearly 2-billion people, think about what it takes to feed them and to keep them working. From that pool of people then they can get an Army of 200-million. I'm sure that some of the other Asian countries, like India will add to it, some from Pakistan.

Alongside that pipeline they have a highway. They also have mineral rights in Afghanistan. If those are threatened, guess where the Chinese army is going to end up? Afghanistan! Now then, they want to run another gas pipeline down through Iran across Iraq on into Turkey to bring gas to Europe. Now they're getting it from Russia.

So, there are a lot of things that are taking place to build up the East for when the time comes, because God said all nations will be gathered to Jerusalem, or the Holy Land.

Here's what they're doing: First of all, you don't do it, and say we're doing this because were going to send our troops over here! No, you have business.

The Silk Road route is back in business, as China train rolls into London (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/14/china-silk-road-trade-train-rolls-london)

All the goods that would normally go by ship and take twice as long can now be put on trains and sent all the way. They have the line going all the way through the Chunnel into London. A train from Beijing to London in 16 days.

The Chinese don't stop there. They are building a rail project. They want to run 12,400 miles of a high-speed connection. High-speed trains are very interesting, because they don't go on wheels; they go on magnetic propulsion. Have you ever had a North Pole and South Pole magnet? Each magnet has a North and South Pole. You switch them and you try and push them together; you can never get the same polls together.

That's how they operate these, and it actually levitates the train. It goes down the tracks, not because it's on the tracks; the wheels are there, but it raises it up and it is magnetically propelled forward. They're building those in China, and they're going to even do more. They want to invest $500-billion in the next four years for a total of 93,200 miles of track.

They opened up 1400 miles of it, and of course, you can't give cars to nearly 2-billion people to drive. So, they've got to have trains. It shows a picture of what they're doing, and they're doing this to the boost growth and trade. Here's a whole report on that on the train. That's quite a thing!

How many have seen these big container ships? Now it's one long train, and they can get the goods over to China. How else can they get them there?

Did you notice on the news where these Chinese cruisers end up? In the Persian Gulf! They build up their Navy and they can bring troops around this way, they can send them overland on the highway, and on the railway.

When Christ returns, the 200-million are not going to all be there in the Holy Land, because the armies will string back various distances. A lot of people misunderstand Ezek. 38, so let's take a quick look at that concerning Gog, Magog, Meshech and Tubal.

God deals first of all with Israel. Remember that everything that's going to happen in the end-time is going to be on a gigantic scale. You can see some of these things forming. Russia and China working together, Russia and India working together, Russia and Pakistan and China and Iran working together. All that area now is open for these alliances to be developed.

Remember what it says, 'the King of the North comes against the King of the South.' What happens? Rumors from the North and the East trouble him! That's what's going to happen.

Where's Russia today? Middle East! It could very well be that the world will agree to help Turkey send their armies in to take care of all the rest of the Middle East with their fighting, because there has to be peace and security before the end comes.

Ezekiel 38:1: "And the Word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief ruler of Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him. And say, "Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief ruler of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws...'" (vs 1-4). Then lists all the nations that are with them.

Verse 16: "And you shall come up on My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land...." This is after the Millennium begins. Some indications that it would be as much a seven years.

Remember how the Millennium starts out. God sets the government up in Jerusalem, He deals first with Israel and Judah. The nations that want to cooperate come and say, 'Let us go up to the house of the Lord we'll learn of His Law,' and so forth. They go back and teach their people. There will be nations that God is not going to immediately bring into the authority of the Kingdom of God. That will be most of the nations of the East. So, here's what they will do:

"...It shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against My land...' [v 17]: Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days, by the hand of My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,' says the Lord GOD, 'My hot anger will be aroused. For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken, "Surely in that day there shall be a great quaking in the land of Israel"'" (vs 16-19).

  • Why are they going to do this?
  • How do we know that it's going to be after the Millennium starts?

Ezekiel 38:11: "And you shall say, 'I will go up to the land of unwalled villages…. [no defenses; that has to be after the Millennium begins] ...I will go to those that are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and there are no bars nor gates to them, in order to take a spoil, and to steal a prize; to turn your hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten cattle and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land'" (vs 11-12).

That's the setting about seven years after. All of these things with the railroads and things like this will still be in place. So we have:

  • China, all of the East, all of those nations

They have to prosper and get along. Before that happens, there will be some things that will occur that China is going to have to do. Because they are expanding so fast—I've got an article here—that if they're not careful they may go bankrupt. So, factor that in, and what do we have? Quite a bit of time until the end-time prophecies really roll forth the way that we have anticipated! Now let's look at some other things.

  • Human technology

We'll talk about that a little bit later too as we go along. Here's an article from the newspaper:

Scientists create a part-human, part-pig embryo—raising the possibility of interspecies organ transplants by Sarah Kaplan, Jan. 26, 2017 (washingtonpost.com)

Part human, part pig embryo created! Why are they doing this? Well, they need so many organ transplants that are not enough human beings to get the transplants from them! Human/pig hybrids—human 'chimeras'

Here's one I never knew: Sometimes in the womb very early, with paternal twins instead of identical twins, one of them dies and then the genes are absorbed into the developing baby that remains. They didn't understand this until recently, because the blood has different genes than the rest of the body. 'What are we going to do? How are we going to do this?' They didn't discover that until bone marrow transplants.

What are they going to do with the trans-humanism? It's quite a thing that they're working on to try and improve humanity. Here's the whole article on it.

Human-Pig Hybrid Created in the Lab—Here Are the Facts by Erin Blakemore, Jan. 26, 2017 (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/01/human-pig-hybrid-embryo-chimera-organs-health-science/)

This pig embryo was injected with human cells early in its development, and grew to be four weeks old. In a remarkable—if likely controversial—feat, scientists announced today that they have created the first successful human-animal hybrids. The project proves that human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs.

This biomedical advance has long been a dream and a quandary for scientists hoping to address a critical shortage of donor organs.

Remember that Satan always gives a benefit! That's what he does.

Now then, they had another one, too. They've done this with rat genes and mice genes. They took rat genes and injected them into mice genes, and the mice grew bigger, and had a gallbladder, which only rats have and mice don't.

  • What is that going to lead to?
  • How's that going to be?

They talk about pigs hearts. Pig's hearts are a lot like human hearts. 'Let's inject into the genes of the pig, the human heart gene so we can transplanted into human beings.'

Now then, let's look at something else here; this is interesting. We get a hint of it. We've read Matt. 24 how many times? How many times have we read this in studying prophecy?

Matthew 24:34: "Truly I say to you, this generation..." Too many people have thought that's us now. Generations overlap, but this is talking about the end-time generation.

"…shall in no wise pass away until all these things have taken place. The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words shall never pass away…" (vs 34-35).

What did Jesus say that He came to do to? To fulfill or complete the Law and the Prophets! Think about that!

"...but My words shall never pass away. But concerning that day, and the hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only" (vs 35-36).

If you want to know how that works out, get the book The Appointed Times of Jesus the Messiah, which tells you. The long and short of it is that the sign of the Son of man is a second sun in the heavens around the earth.

  • How are you going to know which day is which?
  • How are you going to know when sunset is sunset, if there is sunset and sunrise right away?
  • Which day is what?

That's why only God knows!

Yet, we can have it pictured by the Holy Days, because that gives us the framework. But the end of it is, the Father is in control of it.

Verse 37: "Now, as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be at the coming of the Son of man. For as in the days that were before the Flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark; and they were not aware until the Flood came and took them all away; so shall it also be at the coming of the Son of man" (vs 37-39).

That's why when we have the rush of things looking really good and improving and we've got all these wonderful things, we need to be watching for something else to happen.

Gen. 6—We've gone over this many times, as well.

  • Do you think the world's in bad shape right now? Yes!
  • How bad was it during the days of Noah? Look at what they're doing with the animals!

As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man! That means the days leading up to the coming of the Son of man.

Now think about it for minute. The world had gotten so bad, there had to be something fantastic happen, because of what God did.

Genesis 6:5: "And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

All of these wondrous things concerning science are evil thoughts inspired by Satan the devil, and he always brings a benefit. Always! It's like he told Adam and Eve, 'If you eat of this apple, you'll have a benefit, you'll be like God.'

Sidebar (joke): The oldest computer can be traced back to the time of Adam and Eve. It was an apple with extremely limited memory. Just one bite and everything crashed.

Remember, they lived a long time. Think about how advanced they were compared to us.

  • What were they doing?
  • What did they create?
  • Why did God bring the Flood to do what He did?

It was so bad, v 6: "And the LORD repented that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. And the LORD said, 'I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and the crawling thing, and the fowl of the air; for I repent that I have made them'" (vs 6-7).

That's something! You think about that! So, once again we can be thankful for one man: Noah, you know the rest of the story there.

  • How bad was it that He had to destroy all human life?
  • Why all animal of life?
  • Why all crawling things?
  • Why the birds, as well?

Verse 11: "Now the earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt—for all flesh..." (vs 11-12)—not just humans!

  • Is this corrupting pigs?
  • How far did it go?

Were not told! But so far that God had to destroy it all.

"...had corrupted its way upon the earth. And God said to Noah, 'The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And, behold, I will destroy them with the earth'" (vs 12-13). He said, 'Make an ark.' Then God sent all the animals.

Verse 9: "These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man and perfect in his generations..."—or genealogy. Why was that noted? So, if it says all flesh had corrupted its way, God had to bring the animals and the birds and everything else to him that were not corrupted.

"...for Noah walked with God" (v 9).

That gives us a hint. How bad will things get? I don't know, but I can visualize this (joke): Cross a lot of pigs with human bodies, and let them have pig heads and let them be the tax collectors!

What else do we need to look to? How many ministers, even in the Churches of God, have said that the end is going to come? How many have said they're part of the two witnesses? One man said, 'Me and my wife are the two witnesses," and low and behold he ended up in federal prison (for other reasons). How's that for an answered prayer!

Matthew 24:15: "Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the Holy place.' (The one who reads, let him understand.)."

Now Jesus did not say those words in that parenthetical statement, because this was added by John when he canonized the New Testament. Why did he do that? What else do we have in the Bible? We have in Dan. 12 that 'the man of sin the son of perdition is going to stop the sacrifices.'

Now let's think on this very carefully again here, so that we understand it. When Jesus said, 'The abomination is going to stand in the Holy Place,' where was that? That was inside the temple! He didn't say, stand on Holy ground where the temple would be built, but He said Holy Place, because the temple was there. and it was there where all the disciples could see it.

What was one of the first things that God told John to do? It was to measure the temple in Jerusalem (Rev. 11)! Now think about what John understood with that, because it was a vision of the temple. He was to measure it and to leave out the court because it was given over to the Gentiles. Here's John there when Jesus said, 'You see all these things there shall not be one stone left upon another, and there has to be the abomination of desolation stand in the Holy Place.'

Then we come down through the decades of the ministry of the apostles and the Church. We come to 70A.D. and what happens? The temple is gone! True to the prophecy, all the stones were removed. All of the soldiers wanted to get to the gold, and the temple was burned. Titus didn't want it burned, because he wanted to take all the gold. Gold melts very easily, so all of it went down, down in the cracks of the earth, so all of the soldiers going after the gold, removed every stone, took it all down, got rid of the everything concerning the building.

Here is John in vision: 'Measure the temple!' And he's canonizing the New Testament, and in canonizing it he went over 2-Thess. 2, he knew it. Remember what Peter said, he had all of Paul's epistles (2-Peter 3)

Here's a man of sin the son of perdition, 2-Thessalonians 2:3: "Do not let anyone deceive you by any means..." That's a repeat of what Jesus said to his disciples when He was explaining about the 'abomination of desolation.'

"...because that day will not come unless the apostasy shall come first, and the man of sin shall be revealed—the son of perdition" (v 3).

What is the apostasy? Not aapostasy, but the apostasy? That's when the whole world is worshiping Satan the devil! The saints are being killed, or have been killed. That is the fullness of the great apostasy.

Look at the Protestants today. There are some of them for Jesus. Some of them are doing really good work, and preaching the Gospel and so forth. Not like it should be, but we'll talk about that, as well.

"...and the man of sin shall be revealed—the son of perdition, the one who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is an object of worship; so that he comes into the temple of God…" (vs 3-4).

Now remember, when Paul wrote this in 52A.D. the temple was still standing. That's important to understand.

"...so that he comes into the temple of God and sits down as God, proclaiming that he himself is God" (v 4).

Now we'll see in a little bit, the only one who does that is the beast. So, here's John; it didn't happen when the temple was destroyed. God said measure the temple that's in vision, and Jesus said that the 'abomination of desolation is going to stand in the Holy Place.' So, John couldn't quite understand it, so he put the parenthetical statement in there: The one who reads let him understand!

Here's another report: The Jews have been working on this a long, long time. They still have to find the right place to put the temple. It won't be where the Mosque of Omar is—period! The Jews would be annihilated in days. When they get the right place, which is away from the Mosque of Omar.

It should be obvious to all Christians that when you look at the Mosque of Omar. What is it sitting on? You look at the Western Wailing Wall; are there stones there? Yes! Huge, big stones! Up above it is where the Mosque of Omar is. So, the Jews come there to pray, and are praying toward the Mosque of Omar and think they're praying to God, when the temple is south of that location.

The Jews will discover it. I think when the Spring of Gihon starts flowing with a lot of water, they're going to discover the place.

Look up templeinstitute.org. They've got so many things ready to go. They've identified Levites, they've identified Cohens or the high priests. They've been wanting, wanting, wanting to have sacrifices. They had one where they had some sacrifices recently, a small sacrifice. But they didn't have any sacred wood. I remember seeing the picture of the one who was an apprenticed Levite offering the offering, and you know what the wood consisted of? Wooden pallets! The Jews so want to get it going, that they will do that.

All right, they have the priest's garments already to go. They have the Levitical garments ready to go. They have they have the lots for casting for the goat of atonement all ready to go. They have a lot of the cups and implements and everything else ready to go, and they are looking for the red calf.

Remember how long they've been looking for the red calf, and every time they get a possible one, 'Oh we've got the red calf, now we can sanctify everything.' How can you sanctify everything unless you have a place to build the temple? But they always find some white hair someplace, or a black hair someplace.

You probably will see this one when you go to the Temple Institute, the table of showbread for the twelve loaves of bread. They have that done., s were inching closer and closer.

Speculation:

  • Would you say the Jews are in desperate straits after this 2332 UN Resolution? Yes indeed!
  • Would they make an agreement with the Beast Power if he promised to give them military protection around Jerusalem so they could build their temple in peace?
  • Why would that be a good thing for the Jews looking at from the Jewish perspective?

Because, the Jews say as soon as the third Temple is built, Messiah will come!

So, they will agree to it, thinking that He's going to come immediately. But the tables will be turned on them and the beast will come and sit right in the Holy of Holies and say, 'I am God,' and will be possessed of Satan the devil. That is the apostasy!

(go to the next track)

In Rev, 13 we will see the result of the apostasy, and 'the man of sin, the son of perdition.' This is the prophecy of two spectacular things. One leads to the other, and both will come together. Let's see what is going to be the result of the apostasy. You have:

Revelation 13:1: "And I stood on the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns… [a combination of]: …And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, and his feet like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne and great authority" (vs 1-2).

So, this is an amalgamation of the past civilizations into the one-worldwide government.

Verse 3: "And I saw one of his heads as if it were slain to death, but his deadly wound was healed; and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast. And they worshiped the dragon, who gave his authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, 'Who is like the beast? Who has the power to make war against him?' And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him; and authority was given to him to continue for forty-two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God…" (vs 3-6).

Remember 2-Thess. saying, 'I am God.' There is nothing more blasphemous than that.

"...to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. And he was given power to make war against the saints, and to overcome them; and he was given authority over every tribe and language and nation. And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (vs 6-8).

These things don't happen instantaneously. Just like the preparation is being made for all the armies of the East, likewise there are things taking place governmentally-wise for a world government, but also more and more and more worship of Satan the devil. Now then, what is one of the blessings and cursings of the Constitution, which says that the government shall make no law to the establishment or prohibition of religion? As long as everyone's Protestant or Catholic you can probably get along pretty well.

But now look at the problem we have with the Muslims. How do you stop them? What do you do when these things come up?

Lawyer: After School Satan Club must be allowed to proceed (http://www.goskagit.com/news/education/lawyer-after-school-satan-club-must-be-allowed-to-proceed/article_cccb1716-8e92-5f80-9e8c-13d1f5041677.html

A so-called "After School Satan Club" proposed by the Satanic Temple of Seattle to be held at Centennial Elementary School should be allowed to proceed, an attorney hired to represent the Mount Vernon School District said.

Freedom of religion!

"I think that if the school district denied that application, you would face costly litigation that would be distracting from your mission," said Duncan Fobes of the Seattle-based law firm Patterson, Buchanan, Fobes and Leitch during a Wednesday meeting of the Mount Vernon School Board. "And would ultimately be unsuccessful."

"We believe that it's clear that, because the district has a policy and procedure that encourages the use of community groups to use your facilities, because you do that, you must open it to this group," Fobes said. "You don't have to sponsor the group, you don't have to help the group."

That's based upon a Supreme Court ruling. Add to this:

  • How many kids have been raised on Harry Potter?
  • How many are involved in Satan worship already?

not worshiping Satan directly, saying, 'I'm going to worship Satan,' but through their various activities and so forth.

Now, at the same time, because this doesn't happen overnight, we don't have the Muslim problem because were all of a sudden flooded with a lot of Muslims. We have it because we let them in and let them build the mosque. In London in the UK, they have places where they put signs: Sharia Law Enforced in This Area. So, we have to allow the Muslims.

What's happening in the schools? The secular schools? No Bible! But the Koran is allowed! Satanism is allowed! No teaching the Bible!

How America Changed During Barack Obama's Presidency by Michael Dimock—http://www.pewresearch.org/2017/01/10/how-america-changed-during-barack-obamas-presidency/
Those who self-identify as atheists or agnostics, as well as those who say their religion is "nothing in particular," now make up nearly a quarter of the U.S. adult population, up from 16% in 2007

Remember what we've discussed: How does Satan work? Incrementally! We've got a series on Church At Home (churchathome.org) that is coming: One-world Religion. I cover all of that there.

Christians, meanwhile, have fallen from 78% to 71% of the U.S. adult population…

Look what's happening!

…owing mainly to modest declines in the share of adults who identify with mainline Protestantism and Catholicism.

The evangelicals have remained fairly stable.

Due largely to the growth of those who don't identify with any religion, the shares of Americans who say they believe in God, consider religion to be very important in their lives, say they pray daily and say they attend religious services at least monthly have all ticked downward in recent years. At the same time, the large majority of Americans who do identify with a faith are, on average, as religiously observant as they were a few years ago, and by some measures even more so.

Which shows up in the election that we just had. But, think about where it is in the world. All of them are worshiping Satan the devil in one form or another. So, let's see what else is happening in the religions:

Christian Clergy Welcomes Islam in Church, Then Bows to It, by Giulio Meotti January 4, 2017 (gatestoneinstitute.org/9716/christian-clergy-islam)

Church of England Bishop Harris suggested that Prince Charles' coronation service…

—should the Queen die; I think she's trying to stay alive long enough so maybe he'll die first—

…should be opened with a Koran reading. In the US, more than 50 churches, including the Washington National Cathedral, hold Koran readings.

and they do in the Vatican!

'Oh well, the Muslims will be nice and friendly, not so vicious, if we don't make them mad and get along with them.' Yes, kiss their hand and they will slit your throat with the other hand! However the question is:

Is there any reading of Christian liturgy in the mosques?

NO!

Have you studied the history concerning the rise of Protestantism in England? King Henry VIII separated from Rome. I won't get into the details of that. They finally got Protestantism established in England. What was one of the last major conspiracies of the Catholics? One of them was to kill Queen Elizabeth. Have you seen the movie Queen Elizabeth? Watch it. It shows the Pope and the assassin together, saying. 'God will surely bless this assassination!' But they got the assassin and killed him first.

Then the Catholics were going to blow up Parliament, while the king was there leading it. So, they packed in all of this gunpowder, and they got caught. Catholicism was completely just wiped off the face of the earth out of England. Gradually it came back. Several years ago Queen Elizabeth went to visit the pope, ad she had on a black hat and a black veil. Now listen to this:

Archbishop of Canterbury Prays With Pope for First Time in 500 Years by Richard Palmer, Oct 6, 2016—from theTrumpet.com

That is Paul's Cathedral in London that's where the Queen and King are coordinated that's where they have all of their official pomp and ceremony.

The pope and archbishop of Canterbury prayed together publicly for the first time since the churches split nearly 500 years ago….

Will there be a one-world religion? Yes! All the daughters of Babylon the Great will come home as adult children. So, they will have unity through diversity. I accept your religion you accept my religion we all worship the same God and we're all going to the same place. And that is correct!

Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin Welby held a combined Anglican evensong and Catholic Vespers service on October fifth that the church of Saint Gregorio the church in which Saint Augustine was sent to convert England Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin Welby held a combined Anglican Evensong and Catholic Vespers service on October 5 at the church of San Gregorio—the church from which St. Augustine was sent to convert England to Catholicism in a.d. 597.

The archbishop was visiting Rome to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Anglican Center, an embassy of sorts for the Anglican Communion in Rome.
They have the Orthodox Communion, Ethiopic Communion, Coptic Communion, Syrian Communion and Armenian Communion. The Church of Rome has ambassadors from every country. Why have that if you're a religious organization?

Archbishop David Moxon, the director of the center, said that the two churches are "85 percent" in agreement. He said that seeking unity is "part of our dna."

During the weeklong celebration of unity, the churches commissioned 19 pairs of bishops, each comprised of one Anglican and one Catholic, to work on unity around the world. The pairs will look at practical ways to unite the churches, even considering preaching from each other's pulpits.

Where's the gunpowder?

Here's what else they're doing. In the Netherlands, did you see this? I saw the little clip:

Netherlands school children forced to pray to Allah for "multicultural enrichment"; Israel Video Network (israelvideonetwork.com/netherlands-school-children-forced-to-pray-to-allah-for-multicultural-enrichment/)

It shows a little assembly room with all the rugs on the on the floor, and the children got down there had an imam up front to tell them what to do and so forth.

This bizarre event was part of the "learning from other cultures" curriculum mandated in Dutch schools….

Did you know, you'll find out when you watch the series on Church at Home, they have atheist clergy in the Christian churches. They have clergy that deny Christ, but are accepted in the Netherlands.

Look at the older generation dying off. I mean were all getting closer. Some of you are exempt for the time being. I was over at Nob Hill, we do some grocery shopping over there, and I was getting in the car and I was listening to something on the radio and I was watching different ones coming in and going out. They were mostly senior citizens. I thought to myself, how many are in that age bracket? When will it come to the point that those who are Christian have, by the process of getting old, died out?

How about the young ones coming along, nurtured on Walt Disney, all of the music and stuff, all the drugs and stuff, all of the phony things that they've been exposed to concerning churches and religion. What do you think you're going to do when things come along?

Revelation 13:11: "And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon; and he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him; and he causes the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he performs great wonders, so that he even causes fire to come down to the earth from heaven in the sight of men" (vs 11-13).

How many people are going to believe? What does it say? Seeing is believing! If you see it, you believe it! They haven't been taught anything else. So, this generation that's coming at the end. Remember what Jesus said, 'This generation shall not pass away until all of these things have been done.' That's not the generation of Jesus' time, that's the end-time generation here. Think of what it is with this.

This footage shows Dutch primary school pupils of the Vinkenbuurt school praying to Allah in the Ghulzar-e-Madina mosque in Zwolle, the capital of the province of Overijssel, in the east-central area of the Netherlands. Imam Mawlana Tahier Wagid Hosain Noorani gave a tour of his mosque and taught almost exclusively native and blonde Dutch children how to get on their knees for an Islamic prayer.

Think that's bad? Here we go.

Christian Clergy Welcomes Islam into Church, Then Bows to It
(https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9716/christian-clergy-islam)

Think about that.

Last July, for the first time during a Mass in Italy, a verse of the Koran was recited from the altar.

A priest in the south of Italy enraged parishioners by dressing the Virgin Mary in a Muslim burqa…

The Catholic clergy is probably disoriented by Pope Francis himself; he was the first to allow the reading of Islamic prayers and Koran readings from the Vatican.

The Pope embraced religious relativism when it comes with Islam. He repeated that Islamist violence is the work of "a small group of fundamentalists" who, according to him, have nothing to do with Islam.

  • Sound familiar?
  • Will it all come together?
  • Will all the churches unite?
  • Yes indeed!

Not with one single service, but all accepting each other. So you watch that on Church at Home; there are 19 half-hour segments.

In the US, more than 50 churches, including the Washington National Cathedral, hold Koran readings. Is there any reading of the Christian liturgy in mosques?

How is it that so few Christian leaders have raised their voices against this unprecedented attack on a Christian monument? Have they organized so many Koran readings in their own churches so that they now view it as normal to convert a church into a mosque?

Because fewer and fewer Christians are coming to the church, especially in the UK. They abandon the building turn it into a warehouse or something.

There is a disturbing and growing trend in Italy and Europe. For the first time in more than 700 years, Islamic songs resonated in Florence's Cathedral, the Church Santa Maria del Fiore

Then there's a lot more over and over again.

Let's see what happens here. How many remember Glenn Beck? He has gone from almost normal, to a little less normal, to a little more abnormal, and now wildly clear way out. Remember when he had his gathering together of all the religious leaders at the Washington Monument, and he had a whole array of all different ministers from all different religions there with him. Now think about the generation growing up.

  • What do they know about God?
  • What do they know about the Bible?
  • How do those who teach any form of Christianity reach them?
  • How is that done?
  • How do you do it?

Some will hear if they hear some Truth. Most will reject it, but they really don't know anything. And the religionists, too many of them, have made silly fools out of themselves, those who teach Christianity, that it turns them off. So, Satan has infiltrated everything, and they end up worshiping him.

Let's come back here to one other thing, speaking of the beast, Revelation 13:4: "...Who has the power to make war against him?"

Have you seen on the American Hero's channel or National Geographic channel, about some of the super-weapons that the Nazis were working on at the end of the war. The Germans, through Wernher von Braun who became a good American and set up the all the rocket system in the United States, he didn't care anything about Hitler, he wanted to have his thing of getting out into space.

He willingly came with about 200-300 or more scientists with him, and they were all given a clean bill of health to get into America. And they set up what later became NASA. I forget who it was I asked, but he was someone who knew about Europe. But it was when they were going to talk about the CERN Hadrian Collider near Geneva, Switzerland.

I was amazed when I saw some of the film of what the Germans were doing, even with the slave labor. They had large tunnels even under Berlin. They were making airplanes, almost right to the end of the war in this tunnel. A question that I have is, where did they get all ammunition? I don't know how they got it, transported it, but thousands and thousands and thousands and millions shells.

Just recently they had a small town in Germany, that they had to evacuate the whole town because they found a huge 500 pound bomb the didn't go off, that was buried down deep in the soil. They had to get that out lest it blew up the little town there. So I asked him, 'Do you think that the Germans have given up on doing things underground?' And he said no.

Witness the Hadrian Collider, which was dedicated with pure satanic initiation. How's it going to be, that no one has power—Greek: 'dunamis'—the force to make war against Him. One of the things that Hitler was working on was a big space mirror, which they would take the rays of the sun, focus them and intensify the heat, and shoot it down on a city that would virtually destroy the city. That's what they were working on, in addition to atomic bombs. They had some other things they were working on, as well.

Well here, just inside the border of Switzerland they have the biggest underground works with the Hadrian Collider. It's designed to smash together sub-atomic particles at nearly the speed of light. They get them going and going, and they have the largest magnetic power on the earth there. They're looking to find: What is dark matter? That's what holds the whole universe together! What's the epitome of dark matter? The black hole!

Here are ten things, I won't read all of it, but I'll just read some of it.

10 mind-blowing facts about the CERN Large Collider you need to know (from RT Question More)
(rt.com/op-edge/313922-cern-collider-hadron-higgs/)

CERN is perhaps the most famous for its discovery in 2012 of the exclusive Higgs Bosan [named after a British physicist Peter Higgs who predicted in 1964], the so-called 'God particle,' which allows other particles to build mass as they pass through the Higgs field.

How far have they gotten? Well here in America, they finally done this:

Hydrogen: In order to do what they did, they had to have special diamonds cut, specially finished off, so they could bring the pressure upon hydrogen to make it a solid, from gas to a solid. In order to do that, it had to have the pressure as much is in the deepest part of the ocean, and even more than that. More than the pressure that is exerted on the core of the earth, in order to take that and make solid hydrogen.

Then with putting it into what is it called metallic hydrogen, they can isolate that and put it into special tubes and this is supposed to give great speed and power for all of the technological devices that we have today. An amazing thing! So, when they get going on these it's going to be something. It is said that if you get the metallic hydrogen, it gives you more power than then all of the liquid hydrogen that sends the rockets up there now. It can be transmitted without any interference, and who knows maybe faster than the speed of light. We measure everything by the speed of light.

  • CERN is the world's biggest machine

It has a tunnel seventeen miles in its circumvention.

  • Massive gravitational pull

They have 9600 super magnets, that have so much copper in them, that it could stretch back and forth to the sun many times. Traveling just below the speed of light a proton in the collider will make 11,245 circuits every second.

  • CERN generates extreme temperature

up to 100,000 times the temperature of the center of the sun; that is, in one pinpoint area.

  • Opening the door to other dimensions

What they want to do, is pass through the dimension of human existence into demonic existence! There's another one.

  • CERN'S curious choice of geographic location

This goes back to Apollyon. And who is Apollyon? The king of the demons!

  • Tapping into 'Dark Matter'
  • CERN logo

The Indian goddess of destruction. The deity of destruction, and no one has any control over it.

Now let's talk about the last thing. You can look all of these up yourself, you can see all the things that are taking place. The other thing goes along with this is carbon nano-tubes, which they can use for that.

Here's the last thing we're going to cover today on prophecies taking place. This is why the things are happening the way they are today, because the prophecies to be fulfilled are going to take longer than we have anticipated.

There are those of us who remember that as early as 1969 we were saying, 'See you in Petra in'72.' How long ago was that?

Matthew 24:14: "And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come."

When Jesus told that to the disciples they were thinking of their world. God was thinking of the whole world, because He says, 'the world, to all nations.'

  • How's God going to do that?
  • How is that going to happen?
  • It's right now in the works!

Rom. 10 is quite interesting when you read this. This shows that some Scriptures are present, future and prophetic.

Romans 10:13: "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." You could make a whole sermon on that!

  • When do they call on the Lord?
  • How do they know about the Lord?
  • Have they already lived one life and never had an opportunity?
  • Did they hear one of the apostles?
  • What's happened since the time of the apostles till now?

Verse 14: "How then shall they call on Him in Whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without preaching?"

I want you to in your mind think of the whole world down through the last 2,000 years. How is this going to be done? They've sent out a lot of missionaries, and some of them became meals of the cannibals.

Verse 15: "And how shall they preach, unless they be sent?.… [How are you going to send them?] ...Accordingly, it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who announce the Gospel of Peace, and those who announce the good news of good things!' But all have not obeyed the Gospel because as Isaiah said, 'Lord, who has believed our report?' So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of God. But I say, did they not hear? Yes, indeed, for it is written, 'Their voices went out into all the earth; their words went out even to the ends of the habitable world'" (vs 15-18).

Prophecy: tie that with Matt. 24: To the whole world, preach to the world as a witness to all nations! How is that going to be done? We know the Gospel is in the Bible. The whole thing! Just as it was in Paul's day the Gospel went out but, some of them heard about Christ, but not in Truth.

Philippians 1:14—Paul said: "And most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord, have been emboldened by my bonds to speak the Word more abundantly without fear. Indeed, some are proclaiming Christ out of envy and strife, but some with good intentions. On the one hand, those who are preaching out of a contentious spirit, and not purely, are thinking to add grief to my bonds" (vs 14-16)—saying Paul's Gospel was not correct, that 'we have the correct one.'

Verse 17: "But on the other hand, those who are preaching out of love know that I am set for the defense of the Gospel. What then shall I say? Nevertheless, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed; and I rejoice in this, yes, and will also continue to rejoice" (vs 17-18).

Things have been taking place to get the Gospel out. Let me tell about the group called Faith Comes by Hearing. (faithcomesbyhearing.com). They know the Bible has been printed in almost 500 languages, the whole Bible. The New Testament, about 2200-2300 languages, and the Gospel of Mark in about 2600.

There are nearly 2000 languages in the world that do not rely on writing. They can't read, but they can hear. What did it say? How shall they hear? So, this organization has set itself up, and I'm sure God is inspiring it, and they have the different ones from all of these different little lingual areas. They come in and translate and read and record the Bible, and they put it on little digital chips in a small machine that they put several versions of the Bible on. It has a little solar panel on top so you need no electricity. You can send this to people way off in Africa. And they can have that permanently. They can listen to it; they can hear it. Is that a witness? Are they part of all the nations?

Guess what just happened this week. Someone from Africa speaking some of those languages, wanted to know if we had anything in their language. I sent him to Faith Comes by Hearing, and he did and he wrote back and said yes they have it in our languages. We need to think bigger in getting the Gospel out as a witness. That doesn't mean many conversions. But how then is there going to be the great innumerable multitude?

Think about what God is going to do right as the Great Tribulation begins. He's going to have two witnesses, signs and wonders, if you've heard it in your native language.

  • What are the two witnesses going to do?
  • Why in Jerusalem?
  • What impact could they have on the world?

Well, God's taking care of that!

Have you ever heard of the company called Iridium? They made ten satellites. Space X was going to send them into orbit, but it blew up. They make two of everything in case that happens, so they just sent one up and put ten satellites in orbit. High enough above the earth to be out of the gravitational pull, and their project is to send up over sixty of them to encompass the whole world, so that every digital device in the world automatically has Wi-Fi. Will that be high enough, so when God shakes the heaven and the earth around the earth, that they won't be knocked out of orbit?

So, between that organization taking care of the verbal part of it, between the Churches of God what they're doing in preaching Truth and those that God can call out of that, that's fine. And the Protestants are doing something, as well. Even though it's not exactly according to the way that it should be, the name of Christ is being preached. Then those who really repent, God can deal with.

I think that Rev. 11 tells us that the whole world is going to know about the two witnesses and their message, and what they are doing in calling down plagues in various places in the world.

Revelation 11:7: "And when they have completed their testimony… [the two witnesses] …the beast who ascends out of the abyss will make war against them, and will overcome them, and will kill them. And their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those of the peoples and tribes and languages and nations shall see their bodies three and a half days, for they will not allow their bodies to be put into tombs"(vs 7-9).

  • How are they going to do that? Because God has provided the network of satellites so that every digital device will be able to download the video showing their bodies lying in the street!
  • How else could it be?
  • How else could the whole world see it?

This is a lot of people.

Verse 10: "And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and will make merry, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets had tormented those who dwell on the earth."

Let's have a big celebration. I don't know when that's going to take place. What is God doing with all of this? You have the 144,000, that's probably the result of the ministry of the two witnesses for the twelve tribes of Israel. Then what you have after that?

Revelation 7:9: "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no one was able to number, out of every nation… [the Gospel preached as a witness to every nation ] …and tribe and people and language, was standing before the throne and before the Lamb..."

These are the ones who came out of Great Tribulation. Now there's much more to it than that, but this gives us an overview. God is going to be doing some great and fantastic things. It's going to involve many people. It's going to involve all the Churches of God for their share of it. It's going to involve all of those who profess Jesus and who trust in Him, but incorrectly like Paul said (Phil. 1). It's going to be something.

Add on top of that, when you go through this—I've just about finished reading The Appointed Times of Jesus the Messiah—right at the point where there suddenly appears a second sun. What is the world going to do when they see that? I mean this is something!

So, let's get our mind open to greater possibilities, not just our small selves, what we have to do, that's fine. We'll do what we have to do; God is One Who opens the doors. But God is going to do great things when you have all of those satellites up and running, and everyone can have a cell phone, and everyone can see the picture, and everyone can hear the Gospel.

That generation shall not pass away until all these things be fulfilled!
