with me and we hope you find it a blessing [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] amen amen good afternoon our scripture this afternoon is taken from Revelation 14 verse 6 through 12 Revelation chapter 14 6 through 12 verse 6 and I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven heaven having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and every kindred and tongue and people saying with a loud voice fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment has come and worship Him that made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of water and followed another angel saying Babylon has fallen is fallen that great city because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication verse 9 and the third angel followed saying them with a loud voice if any man worship the Beast and His image and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand that same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into a cup of his indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the presence of the Lamb and the smoke of their torment ascends it up forever and ever and they have no rest day or night who worship the Beast and His image and whosoever received the mark in his name verse 12 here's the patience of the saints here are they that keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus the next election I'd like to do or your edification it depends on what side of the age spectrum bet you know the title five yeah on the upper end of the age spectrum you know this as James Cleveland's no ways tired if ya toward the younger end of the age spectrum you may know this says Mary Marik's can't give up now but whatever you know the title eyes you know that it's a blessing and you know that it's a powerful message cuz even in these difficult times we can't get tired and we can't give up because we know from whence our help comes [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] what's the guy's name Kenny G yeah passive noises the religious music you know what another blessing they will soon be with our friends who join us but before we get that signal I mean just share with you a blessing that is coming to cpc's way it's been so much going on with this church we have not been able to tell you all the blessings brother Gaston is taking on the gas the task well sometimes I think we give him gay two months ago I got a letter from jbs incorporated they own three television stations in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia they won CPC on the air and so we're forming a team of editors they'll take our sermons and edit them down to 28 minutes it's gonna cost us about a hundred and forty seven dollars it to some dollars per half-hour to reach maybe a million people to show you the kind of cup in here in he airs churches that have 7,000 members 5,000 members and now they want little o CPC somebody sent to him tapes of our word and our worship and the result has been he is chasing us down in order to air these messages and so you should know that the Lord is trusting us in some unusual ways and we should be thankful for God's trust what do you say and this is in keeping with the fact that as we branch out in Bouie and as we will soon be looking at Loudoun County the Lord is adjusting our assignment and we'll be talking about that theme in 2009 for I am convinced that in 2009 we're going to see a world that will never be like any world we've ever seen and so it's very important that we take that seriously let us pray as we begin our worship together our Father thank you for the word and thank you for the time in which we live we can now in no ways get tired a road of opportunity lies before us grant that we shall be up to the task through the power and the enabling and anointing of your spirit in Christ's name Amen the book of Revelation the 14th chapter we welcome those of you who are joining us now as we worship here a community pray Center Church if this is your first time then we are glad to have you with us even over the air today is my third sermon on the first angels messages message the first of three angels messages and the reason why I keep coming back to the first angel is because that message sets the tone for the other two that are to come for they really are one whole though we speak of three angels for the benefit of those listening for the first time to this particular series let me just summarize as is your pastors custom we've been laying down two principles how many two principles first God is able to sustain this church and that should not be taken lightly given the times in which we live it's good to know that somebody is going to see us through by the way if you haven't heard his name is Jesus and he's able to keep us unto Him and then the second principle we have reiterated over and over again is that knowing the task that we have and our task in many ways elders is simply a survival one yes we must share but but really Robert when the deal goes down Paul I don't want to share with others and be a castaway myself so really my main job ladies and gentlemen is to hold on come on somebody I just have to make it in and so our second principle in these sermons has been is that Satan is constantly working to distract you from your assignment and your first assignment is to see that you are saved come on somebody and then to work for others now in the light of these three angels messages and in the light of the interfaces that grow out of the first angel I want to add a third principle today the book of Revelation third principle is about putting God back in his rightful place and you will see that more assuredly in just a few moments God has been kicked out he is not central he does not occupy priority even to the point that now we must confess the fact that we live in a planet where some folk don't even believe that he exists now when you try to grab that with your mind knowing that the God we serve called by his own mouth out of existence nothing into something that there would be no planet without him now to think that that planet doesn't even recognize his existence that's an amazing thing to me to me and so principle three in the three angels messages Keith is that God must be put back in his rightful place so in in Chapter one of Revelation we've talked about Christ being able chapters two and three the seven churches describing the spiritual journey chapters 4 and 5 assured us through the book in his hand Edwin that that that God the Father through Christ still holds the world in his hands they say about 4 million people will show up January 20th to see if Obama can hold the world in his hands I Got News for he's a good man I'm impressed Harvard degree great speaker but the world is in the hands of my god and so we have peace today I'm pastors not upset I'm not worried about the stock market I'm not worried about what's happening in Afghanistan I'm not concerned about General Motors shutting down because heaven does not shut down and God never releases his power the world is in his hands the world is in his hands we learned in chapters 6 through 8 that this church is developing structurally and doctrinally and that seals describe the church as in its development from beginning to end and then chapters 8 through 11 show the seven trumpets and the global development of the world in which the church resides and then chapter 10 showed that great mighty angel a giulio holding the book and and told john to eat that book and we found out the book was sweet in the mouth and sour in the belly representing our experience in this church you know in many ways coming in the church can be like getting married sweet in the mouth sour in the belly does you're not ready see being a Christian is like getting married you know you always take on more than you had in mind and the married folks are sitting together they don't want say a man and when you listen to this pastor when you came in this church you were not ready for the pathway God was gonna lead you now come on and say man out there and then in Chapter 12 we showed the dragon identified as the devil Satan and the snake at war with the church we learned that that that that the devil's weapons are mental mental mental now even those of us sitting here today in church looking good some of us caught it this week something happened something was said some experience of play some disappointment attacked your life and and you drug in here this morning hallelujah you got on up put on your clothes didn't feel like it came to church and already God has blessed you and we learned in that sermon out of chapter 12 that the devil even enters our heads through our bodies and so in these last days but the good to see you in your good life here today coming back home to be with us we learn in these last days we got to watch what we put in our bodies some of you every time you eat some sugar your bones ache but you eat that doughnut anyhow don't you some of you got lactose intolerance go underneath that big old bowl ice cream anyhow don't you breaking your body down making the core process of your brain weak so the devil can sneak in you can't stay awake in church your mind all messed up brothers and sisters we've come to a time in Earth's history where we can't let the devil in any kind of ways do you hear me preaching to you today you cannot let your guard down one love it and that's why some of us have to even watch the kind of people we spend time with see it's time to decide unless you're married now it's time to decide to stay away from folk to get on your nerves now married folk we have to pray for you but but but but but but but but but really no and I and I you know sometimes in some of the council sessions I'm in and I hear it and I'm saying why are they footing with them folk got you mad and upset stomach all turned around face turned into a prove and they on your nurse you don't live with them they don't own you they ain't paying your bills get them out of your life [Applause] now if you married pray and fast some things only come by fasting and prayer didn't the Bible say that I read that text somewhere in chapter 13 we learned about those two powers that will combine their political I'm leading up to something now you know pastor don't waste time the pulpit I'm leading that something we learned about two powers that that the combined their political and military might to drive all mankind into economic dependence on them and we read the statement see you two weeks ago some of you were amazed at those statements Ellen White predicted the old woman way back in the 19th century Carlson Griffith she wrote it down banks closing down over property the woman would you know there's a God in heaven somewhere only God could see that a hundred years it's Revelation 13 talks about these two powers that were combined they're strengthened and and and and force us force us force us to obey the Beast and His image and his mark we learned that many believe that those two powers represent the beast with all the heads the Church of Rome the beast with the two horns the United States of America something happens in chapter 13 go there chapter 13 something happens and you'd go at home now get your Bible don't just sit there and look get your Bible chapter 13 now now watch this dawn power I'm going to start in verse 11 and I beheld another beast do you see it coming up out of what church and he had two horns like a lamb and he spake as a dragon by the way coming up coming up out of the earth means that it came out of a a sparsely populated area when a when a beast comes up out of the water that's a densely populated area so when this be shows up it comes from a place where there is much people in contrast to Europe where there was lots of people where the other beasts came up the new country for this beast comes up the second beast verse 12 and he exerciseth all the power of the first beast that is this - this this beast with the many heads and horns this second beast has all that power before him and and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to do what whose deadly wound was healed now verse 13 and he doeth great wonders so that he maketh fire to come down from heaven on the earth of the sight of men and deceive at them verse 14 that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles were yet power to do in the sight of the Beast saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make and what so so so stay with me now an image is an object of what an image is an object of what worship so we're talking about something Anthony being set up by this power along with the first power and the first power gets its power from the devil something being set up that is a false worship a false what alright alright alright alright and its power to give verse 15 and yet power to give life unto the image of the Beast that the image of the Beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the Beast should be what this is a serious stuff we can't take this lightly verse 16 everybody's reading with me and he causeth all both small and great rich and poor free and bond to receive a hand and in their the first time this phrased it appears a mark where in the hand and in the forehead representing thinking and doing thinking and doing verse 17 you're all reading that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number so chapter 13 introduces a new concept which will roll over into chapter 14 Keith Butler and the concept is mark of the beast say it mark of the beast now we're ready Eric to chapter 14 as we arrive at chapter 14 it's important to see this chapter in the context of the entire revelation narrative the first three chapters the first 11 chapters have have brought us spiritual ecclesiastical II and globally to the time of the end chapter 13 to the end of the book of Revelation now fills in some of these historical details in my first sermon on the first angel we said that the election of Barack Obama to the presidency all the excitement about that must be tempered must be what because because the reality is that the mission of God's church to warn a dying planet was not altered by that momentous event now pastor keeps coming back there because I need you to understand is that even something as historically exciting as that event cannot turn the church from its goals we have a message to preach and we have souls to win are you with me alright and then in the second sermon which the second service didn't hear we went to the first angel vote at chapter 6 I mean go to verse 6 and 7 and we dwelt we dwelt on his words fear God give glory to him the hour of his judgment has come worship Him and I that down last Sabbath on the first service and we got this lesson now listen the first angel says fear God repeat it glorify God repeat it and then do what worship Him now the first angels message has to do with putting God back where he belongs but the an author how are we going to do that well look at chapter 14 verse 6 verse 7 saying with a loud voice fear God and give glory to him for the what hour of it is come and do what okay okay okay listen to the pastor judgment judgment involves God looking for those who fear worship and glorify Him I got to make sure you get this see we focus on a lot of things about the last days but remember the great controversy started because the devil challenged God's place and we live in a world that is not putting back there and so when the first angel talks it simply saying hey it's time to come back planet Earth do what put God back where he belongs because I'm looking for people who have him there now I'm gonna fill that in two weeks from now but just a little tidbit remember there is an angel in Revelation 7 flying around putting a seal on pull folks for him who's he looking for people whose minds glorify worship come on somebody and fear God let's keep going let's keep going at the end of verse 7 chapter 14 it say worship Him that does what made heaven and earth the sea and the fountains of waters keep your finger there and go to Exodus the 20th chapter and verse 11 Exodus 20 verse 11 still got your finger in Revelation 14 alright verse 7 but now we're looking at verse 11 Exodus 20 read for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth and the sea hohoho those are the same words we just read aren't they in the first angels message but these words now appear in the ten commandments under the fourth commandment the first angel is announcing that judgment has been pronounced by God on those who worship Him because he created and the thing God has given us to celebrate that he created is the seventh-day Sabbath you recall Cherie Locke that it was this time last year that your pastor preached a sermon of the seventh-day Sabbath in response to a sermon by TD jakes in which he sought to minimize the seventh-day Sabbath remember that and I promised you then before this year was over we'd be back we're back the Sabbath truth rears its head again in the first angels message and the second angels message and the third angels message and we'll see that more clearly today so join me now as we look carefully at these three angels before we get the full thrust of the first angel let's go to the second revelation 14 verse 8 by the way now now we're in Bible study we're in Bible study now ready let's go and they're followed revelation 14 8 I need a lot of folk reading and they're followed another angel saying Babylon Babylon is fallen that great city because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication Babylon comes from a word that means confusion Babylon and Babel are the same word why confusion you remember the story you're turning now keeping your finger in Revelation 14 to Genesis 9 and verse 15 Genesis 9 and verse 15 you remember what happened after the flood do you recall a bunch of people got together to do what build a tower build a tower Genesis 9 verse 15 after the flood God made us to stay with me this this was a thinking sermon revelation 9:15 after the flood God made a promise here it is read and I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh and the water shall no more become a flood to destroy the flesh God promised he would never destroy the earth again with the flood God promised he would never destroy the earth again with the flood God promised he would never destroy the earth again but God promised that was God's word Genesis 11 and verse 4 Babylon has fallen we're trying to explain it now joy Genesis 11 for read and they said go to let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven and let us make a name lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of there why are they building the tower so high let's read the statement put it on the screen see it let's read one object before them in the erection of the tower was to secure their own safety in case of another day loo God said I will do that again for God to say something and for people to do something else is confusion see the second angel ties him with the first the first says put God back in his place one of the ways we take God out of his place he says one thing and we do another 10s reading the statement by carrying the structure to a much greater height than was reached by the waters of the flood they thought to place themselves above all possibility of danger I think I heard a song that says he's so high you can't get over him finish and as they would be able to ascend to the region of the clouds they hope to ascertain the cause of the flood the second angel is saying that the kind of confusion that comes from not taking God at his word will come to an end and then when you tie this in with the first angels message fear glorify and worship God you understand that what happened in the ancient day if you do not understand the Apostle Paul tells us what happened when they having God knowing God didn't obey God now you go into Romans one these three angels messages are powerful folk Romans 1 Romans 1 verse 21 go there Romans 1:21 Lord look at this verse look at this verse everybody read because that when they knew God they glorified him not as God neither we're thankful but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened professing themselves to be wise they became what and read it and changed the Karoo into an image into a what into an image into what now now now watch it watch it what did revelation 13 tell us is going to happen there's going to be a image made see folk there's no such thing as new sin mankind has always from the very beginning of time after sin tried to replace God and so they knowing God changed God into an image made like into corruptible man Birds for for the things and so God gave them up and so the confusion announced by the second angel represents the confusion of our world our world and you see when when God says one thing don't eat that and you eat it God says one thing return tithe and you spend it God says one thing keep the Sabbath you keep another day God says one thing Mary those who believe in God and you don't when you don't do what God says confusion comes in your life but there's more going on than that when you don't do what God says then you are not fearing him you are not glorifying him you're not worshiping him and so you are not only ignoring the first angel you're ignoring the second angel as well are you with me so far and so the third angel comes in go back to Revelation 14 did you stay there let's go verse 9 read and the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice if any man worship the Beast and His image now where did we hear about the beast in His image chapter 13 chapter 13 chapter 13 and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand the same she'll do what and brynn verse 11 and the smoke of their torment read on now now now now now watch it then the third angels messages in with this statement verse 12 read come on here is the patience of the saints here are they to do what listen whatever the mark is it's in contrast to the commandments whatever the mark is it's in contrast to the commandments the Saints keep the commandments other folk obey the mark so the mark can't be something in the commandments so having the mark has something to do with not keeping what's in the commandments and the third angel the first angel says we must worship the Lord who made the heaven in the earth and there's only one commandment that talks about that I'm praying form Jesus to stay with their pastor there's only one commandment that talks about worship Him they made the heavens and the earth and that's found in the commandments so God's people keep what's ever in the commandments including that one that says worship the Lord they made the heavens and the earth but those who have the mark aren't doing that so the mark must be something opposite to what sin the commandments let's keep going now let's put the fourth commandment up there the entire fourth commandment up there yeah yeah yeah read the last part again for in six days having an earth to sea and all that in them is you know now God is very very particular how many of you know that he did not trust us to honor him the way he wanted to be honored so he said I'll give them something Genesis 2 1 2 3 Genesis 2 1 2 3 oh yes look at it Genesis 2 1 2 3 you see it let's read thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them and on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made and God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made there are two distinctive characteristics about God that appear over and over again in the Bible that separate him from all of the gods 1 he can tell the future 2 he can create God creates he wants that celebrated you exist because God creates Psalm says 139 that he fashioned you in your mother's womb you don't like your nose God does you don't like to say booth your ears God does that's why I didn't want it wasn't us putting holes in it and punching stuff and putting on it stuff all up in here and so forth God's work doesn't need any help [Applause] patents gonna preach by himself for a few minutes yes sir don't need to be painted up decorated up fixed up God made it he's an artist some people's noses around summer street people's lips full some thin God's work that need no help all the holes you got on your body already put there no apology folk everything see God is tired of man yanking him out of his place acting like he doesn't know what he's doing God says I'm God nobody like me I create I make ears with all the holes in them I already want them to have do you feel uncomfortable right now that's all right I love you but I'm preaching the truth up here in this pulpit and the three angels messages are about a god who's gotten tired of people acting like he's not God and trying to help him we don't need any help and we've gotten caught up in stuff and torn up in stuff and distracted by stuff that's causing us to lose our souls because we've not see when God's in place in your mind you don't need all these are per ton says to feel good about yourself and quite frankly stuff all attached to your body ain't never made a homely person pretty we just got to tell the truth like it is the jury might be pretty but you ain't you can wear fifty five thousand pieces it don't change what nature is already performed and if you are pretty you don't need it he finally got out of a system yes Lord they wanted to say that's for fifteen and a half years in this pulpit so God says I don't need any help I gave you a day keep it celebrate my creation my day my way come on and say Amen out there and so the Bible is full of text about God's creation job 26:7 Psalm 102 25 acts 1415 we don't have time to read them Hebrews 11:3 psalm 8:5 the bible keeps talking about God creates and in some texts he kind of shows off he says what about them idols what did they made let me show how God really really really really gets upset you have you ever started the millennium yeah that's the thousand years where the devils down here by himself you ever studied that got a thousand years the devil to make a blade of grass come on Gaston produce one squirrel earth is desolate take it on God said he's gonna be like God so God leaves him for them down here by himself for that come up with a net cuz I'm done all I got to do is talk and songs come into being I can make not something out of nothing now you just produce a fly you devil hallelujah hallelujah that's the god I serve and he's gotten tired of us he says I'm gonna put the devil right where he belongs he ain't gonna be able to come up with a crumb a bread he can't raise no wheat ain't just gonna be hungry for a thousand years I enjoy it Palmer so creation God gets his back straight about creation nobody makes stuff but me and then I'm so powerful after I make it I can control it so it's this of the Red Sea stand up my people are going through says to the Ravens bring Elijah some bread put some butter on it hallelujah that's the god I serve and he said I'm gonna redeem myself in the last days and show everybody I am God there is none else I'm God there's none like me so he makes fun of the false gods in Isaiah 44 just produce your cause in fact he said nice they have 44 he says look says the he says the Goldsmith makes the image digs out the gold smelts it makes it and then bow down to it he makes fun of him you ought to read Isaiah 44 sin says the says the lumberjack goes out and cuts the wood shapes the image then takes on the rest of wood and uses it to warm his house and then bow down to the image they made out of the same wood that he's the Mormons house you hear God's saying what but I made the trees and I made the gold I am God and the third angels are saying it's time and ladies and gentlemen God is waiting on his church we don't treat God right we do not treat God right God wants his place back in our hearts so the Sabbath is more than just the Sabbath is more than just a break in the week the Sabbath is more than a rest from Labor it's a weekly return taught Jackson to our roots if you ain't you don't know who your mama your daddy is just keep the Sabbath hooks you up with the God who made the father who you never met the Sabbath gives us back our dignity I'm glad to see a black man in the presidency but I didn't need to see that to feel good about myself I got a brother who's king of kings and Lord of lords got a father who holds the world in his hands I don't need to see somebody get an office to feel good about myself I got a brother who went to the cross died for my sins I know I'm somebody Sabbath gives us back our dignity way back in the old days for them down in Mississippi where I started my ministry the Sabbath gave black folk back their dignity when they learned about the samples from Edson white on the Morningstar boat this old slaves learned that it was a God in heaven who made them that him before God all men are created equal on the Sabbath they would leave the fields all should all enjoy this by myself black folk would leave those cotton fields on the Sabbath on Mississippi and go worship go worship sometimes beaten on their backs go worship some nas denied food go worship because on the Sabbath day they knew there were somebody Sabbath gave them back their reason for being the Sabbath gave them back their strengthen their back the Sabbath let them know they were valuable the Sabbath gave them back hope anybody ought to keep the Sabbath ought to be black folk we ought to be the most ardent Sabbath keepers in the world because half of us know by the time we go back in the most of us get lost back in that slave cabin maybe you can go back six generations maybe you can seven if you're lucky three most of us but the Bible skips over the slave cabin takes you on back beyond the flood come on somebody hooks you up with Adam who was the son of God and the Sabbath we should pause and remember who we are somebody say man out there and so the first angel says come back and worship and second angel says confusion must come to an end and then the third angel says watch that mark now you know by now I'm not finished not today I'll be back because I'm concerned about CJ where the mark is and the question lingering Barbara Barbara is if there's gonna be a mark in somebody's forehead is there any deterrent for the mark let me explain to these elders if the devil is messing with my head and putting stuff up there is there any hope for me to keep my mind protected and I keep going back to Revelation 7 and I see another angel flying with a sealed putting that on the forehead seems like if the angel with that seal fondoo can get to me before that mark gets on me how excuse me if I can just get that fine angel to get here first and protect my mind so I can see air when it's coming sin before it catches up with me I can discern the truth every time it shows up and I can just get that angel with the seal to stop over so my next sermon they got to talk about the seal in the mark is that Alright one more thought for you and by the way the mark is all once the mark shows up in Revelation 13 is in 14 nine fourteen eleven fifteen to sixteen to nineteen twenty River 2024 the mark becomes the dividing line between God's people and those who aren't it hit me it hit me this mark is not new Carlsen it doesn't just show up in Revelation see if you study the Bible diligently you'll find the Duyvil Bible is a closed circle what ends in Revelation begins someplace else and then it hit me Palmer that the first mark haven't you do with false worship shows up in Genesis ever heard a king would not worship destined the way God directed you remember that and then when God dealt with him after he killed his brother over church remember revelation 13 says those who don't keep the kind of church and worship that the image wants will be what kill folks been killing each other of a worship since the beginning of time and Cain said my preference to Great God says I'm gonna mark you I'm gonna Archaea and then you can follows Cain's descendants and Abel's descendants those marked those not marked it's interesting Sen leaves scars some people can't see some people can't hear some people can't think clearly some people have hands [Music] some people have tongues that will respond disconnected from the mind some people have hearts that are hard to soften it harder to love

walls would you just bow your head in front of your computer or whatever it means of communication did you see listen to me Church the three angels are announcing to us that God is weary of waiting for people who will put him back Revlon's look at your life today is Jesus really on the throne or is he constantly asked to get up while you take the seat to do your thing here and there please be serious please be serious third angel says God's rashly pour unmixed with mercy unusual phrase in the Bible but then as soon as God says that he says here is the patience of the Saints here are they that keep the commandments about there is a contrast how will you stand Colleen the next verse it has about your eyes or close your thinking and reflecting listen to the words how shall we stand that
