out right at your feet and you slowly look up in the air and guess what there's a bright light above and one standing with a scepter in his hand you know what is this well just imagine that this is a scepter right pastor hilton yes a fork a scepter in his hand and he said to you he said to you welcome welcome welcome in my father's mansion well i don't know if bananas will be there because i like banana do you like banana well or maybe other fruits to dine and to enjoy but can you imagine seeing that person saying to you from barbados to you from maybe afghanistan where the talibans are right or maybe from china the origin as it has been said of kovid or maybe in tokyo japan wherever you are from america and he says welcome you have been faithful even amidst the death of loved ones friends and family members welcome you have been faithful you have kept the faith ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters i just want to welcome you all and i want to put my scepter right now even out at you and i see persons like veda records and he says welcome persons like norma clark welcome persons like brenda todd welcome um petula kerr adeline mccook man and the list goes on yes brother freddie i know you're always here welcome and to the rest of the team you know somebody would say uh because he didn't want to leave with any name the person says a circumferencical welcome so that's a big welcome to you all may god bless us brothers and sisters as we look forward for that day when we shall see him the king of our kings and the lord of our lords who will welcome us into his eternal home until then keep faithful may god keep us as we sing and as we fellowship in your kitchen bathroom dining room or wherever you are from we are gonna sing together it's a good time to get acquainted and it's a good time to eat a banana right and just to say welcome all right let's sing together as we welcome each one in jesus name [Music] it's a good time [Music] so please it's a good time [Music] so please [Music] at this time we would have our special features where our focus or emphasis would be on health however tonight we are not having a special future but yet still we're having a special teacher what do i mean not having to get have it the special feature i want to speak of is a feature where all of us can participate and uh it means that you can give you have been giving from week one week two nowhere in the third week and because of your giving we were able to extend the program and i'm here to share with you how it has been a tremendous uh blessing for those who got baptized last week's sabbath and this summer coming again there will be others who will be surrendering their lives to jesus christ all because of you all because you gave pastor hawthorne almost gave us his banana faster heart and almost gave some of us his fork but you know of all the gifts that we can receive the best gift that any of us can ever receive is the gift from above god giving his son jesus christ as a ransom taking my place and your place that we can all have eternal life when the king which is jesus christ come riding on his horse uh so tonight the the information is on the screen as to how you can give i will just be praying so that as the lord impress upon you to give that performance for his cause to bring more souls for god's eternity heavenly father we thank you again for your marvelous blessing the gifts and the givers the advancement of your work to build up your thinking so that when you shall come many who would be running to the right under the mountains will not be running but they're running towards you to say thank you lord for saving it thank you for the brethren what given faithfully that they were able to hear the gospel so bless tonight's offering we pray in the name of jesus we say amen thank you [Music] you can't be god's giving no matter how you try just as sure as you are living and the lord is in heaven the more you give the more he gives to you so keep on giving because it's really true that you can speak was given no matter how you try you can't speak [Music] the more he gives the more he gives to you so keep on giving truth [Music] [Music] amen praise he the wonderful name of jehovah are you seeing him standing on a standing right now looking forward to deliver a word of healing and restoration do you think that he sees what is happening in the world today do you think that he sees the many persons who are dying from coving and maybe other illnesses or diseases do you think jesus cares oh yes he cares because with the many persons that have died many are still alive and we say praise the lord this evening our hearts will be blessed by a word from our maker and king he is about to bring a word that will save us through his man's servant one whom he has appointed at this time to deliver his word the servant is our executive secretary pastor oster moaz we are thankful for his ministry in north jamaica conference he is impregnated with the word of god and he is now ready to deliver i sense that you have come for healing i sense that you have come for deliverance and for peace amidst the perplexities and the uncertainties which we have been surrounded with there is a word of salvation there is a word of healing tonight brothers and sisters i pray that as god speaks to our hearts through his servant passed above us our hearts will be opened up and receptive for the seed to be planted and that it may be watered and germinate and bring forth fruits of righteousness before our pastor and evangelist come to us to bring god's word we our hearts will be prepared by a song of meditation so remember say a word of prayer wherever you are say god i want a my healing tonight god bless you virgin as we listen to god's servant bringing god's word [Music] i've been dreaming of a city far beyond the sky when the sun flowing's over spread my wings when jesus says it's over oh what a joy that will be when it's no margin [Music] be home at last i've been dreaming of a city jerusalem jerusalem i've been dreaming of a city jerusalem my home right up in the sky [Applause] sometimes i lose direction says your mind but jesus stands to remind me that you're passing through instead of losing heaven i must look to the day [Music] when it's no more dreaming i'll be home at last i've been [Music] up in the sky sometimes you lose direction say it and clouds your mind but jesus stands to remind you that you're passing through instead of losing heaven i must look to the day [Music] jerusalem jerusalem [Music] jerusalem my home ride up in the sky all of my troubles will all of my troubles will be over my arm right up in the sky all of my troubles will be over just in all you are just in a way all of my troubles will be over up in the sky [Music] amen friends i enjoyed that song we have had beautiful singing before every night we have had beautiful singing but this one really touched my heart in a special way and one of the reasons why it has done that is because just about the time that young man started singing i was thinking of what i am going to share with you this coming sabbath when we will be talking about the end of the controversy yes what a glory that will be when christ resumes the exercise of his full authority when that coronation ceremony takes place in the new jerusalem friends it's worth everything to be there we are battered we are bombarded by so many problems in this world physical problems health challenges financial problems social problems religious confusion family problems you name it the list is almost endless but what a joy it will be when by god's grace god's people gathered in the new jerusalem and as the young man sang it died my heart was so blessed and i wish it were tomorrow tonight and we were all ready it's something that we need to dream about think about it night and day imagine seeing yourself there make it the focus of your daily living right become obsessed with it let it dominate your thoughts that's what god has planned for all is faithful children who decide to join jesus as he conducts this war we call the great controversy and then as pastor arthur gave that royal welcome what a day it will be when jesus stands at the gate of that new jerusalem and beat us welcome come be blessed of my father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world make sure you are there so it's the last night of this glorious experience that we have been having tomorrow night as you have been told we will be having our usual journey of faith program and tomorrow evening we will have a very extraordinary guest for you make sure you join us and then on saturday or on sabbath for most of us it will be the grand finale of this wonderful experience that we have been having riding on with king jesus and that's pastor pilton told you we will be closing the series with a baptismal service yes friends if you have not yet said yes to jesus it is time to do so time is running out and i don't intend to scare you into accepting jesus it doesn't work that way i don't even want you to accept jesus because you believe he's coming soon yes he's coming soon but the main reason for serving jesus is because of his marvelous love because he went to calvary and died in our place because despite our sinfulness he is so merciful and gracious the apostle paul says in ii corinthians 5 the love of christ constrains us when we keep looking at that cross and we see what jesus went through for us the only reasonable and the sense of the response is to serve him if we don't it's our choice but the consequences are going to be dreadful the apostle paul asked in the book of hebrews chapter 2 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation can you imagine friends the son of god the creator gave up the glories of him came down to this messed up planet became a human being lived as a human being oh it is so inspiring the bible says we love him because he first loved us and if we love him truly love him we are about to serve so let me welcome all of you tonight as we share in this special feast as the orton likened it to a banana uh yes of course bananas are very nutritious very delicious but you know heaven will be have bananas and more eyes have not seen that's right neither has it entered into the heart of men the things which god has prepared but those that love it make sure you are there so yes it's raining cats and dogs as pastor hilda told you maybe right across america the area has been flooding in a few places but i know you are inside now maybe sitting in your living room or you know but we are glad to be connected together again we are together again just praising the lord we are together again in one accord yes something good is going to happen something good is in store because we are together again praising fellowshipping and verse in the lord so we will have our theme song right now but after that we will open the word of god above all powers of all kids above all is jesus christ our savior [Music] so [Music] above all powers above all kings [Music] and all the ways [Music] has ever known above all wealth and treasures of the earth [Music] [Music] trampled on the ground [Music] and thought of me [Music] trampled on the ground [Music] [Music] you took and follow me [Music] amen bow your heads with me let us pray father thank you for jesus thank you for his marvelous amazing condescension to have become man who have come to earth lived he died but the grave could not hold him resurrection mourning came from the grief with power having conquered death and determined the eternal destruction of satan he secured victory for his people who side with him jesus does not need anything from us he has everything he is our creator our sustainer our redeemer it is in him we live and move and have one but he did all of that to give us the privilege of sharing his eternal glory lord to many people this thing seems unreal seems foolish but it is a certainty one day sinful human beings as we are we will have the joy of spending eternity with jesus so as we open your words tonight god i ask for your spirit to give me words to give me utterance to make sense of what i will be sharing with your people from your words and may our hearts be opened to receive your precious word with gladness the glory of your name and the salvation of our souls i pray in jesus name amen so friends as usual i share my screen with you because i want you to follow with me as we open god's book the sure word of prophecy yes tonight our topic is identifying god's champions and satan's followers in the end times the times in which we are living god has his people the devil has his people also the bible tells us over and over again that the last days leading up to the end of the world would be a time of great deceptions friends deceptions in every aspect of life deceptions that would ensnare the world so that so many persons would think they are on the right road to glory but then we'll discover that they are not i remind your friends that the great controversy began with two sides in heaven christ and satan and the angels of heaven were divided in their loyalties some sided with jesus unfortunately one-third sided with satan but even if only one of god's loyal angels had sided with satan it would have been a terrible thing so this great controversy has been conducted that way two sides all humanity is being divided into two sides because every man woman boy and girl will either be on the side of christ or on the side of satan there's no other option if we are not intentionally decidedly lining up with jesus we are on satan's side it doesn't matter what we think and so at the end of this great controversy the two sides will engage in a final struggle led by christ and satan of course we have read so many times the passage where the bible says the devil is coming down he's come down with great wrath because he knows he has a short time his malignity his malice his deception everything is going to reach a peak because he's determined to get as many human beings on his side many in the last days will claim to be god's people that's a part of the reception many persons are going to claim to be on god's side but according to jesus in matthew chapter 7 oh many of them will realize that they were deceived in matthew chapter 7 jesus says not everyone that says unto me lord lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he or she that does the will of my father and then jesus goes on to explain in verse in verse verse 22 of matthew 7. he says many will come to me on that day saying lord lord i have prophesied in your name we have prophesied in your name we have done many wonderful works in your name but the bible says jesus says then i will say to them depart from me i never knew you can imagine friends have you ever gone to a wedding thinking that you are one of the invited guests and then to be told we don't have your name on that list so you are not supposed to be here that's embarrassing that's painful it has it happened to me but it was by mistake somebody should have put my name on the list but somehow some slip up but he was corrected but when they told me that my name was not on the list i felt bad it was like a dagger through my heart friends if i felt that way can you imagine if it were ever to be that on that last great day i am expecting to be receiving my royal welcome into christ's kingdom and i'm told by jesus i did not know you though you were a preacher by god's grace it won't happen but it can easily happen now is the time for us to ensure that we are on christ's side many church people will end up on the wrong side of course those persons who are in the world i think they are good they think they are nice they don't have a chance the way to the kingdom is only through jesus christ yes so now is the time for us to ensure friends that it is not going to be so you see because of the religious deceptions that will take place in the last days god has developed a special identifying mark for his people so that we may know for sure whose side we are on right it is right there in your bibles and we will be looking at that tonight at the same time the devil has an identifying mark that through the beast he will be giving his followers those who have that mark will think that they are on god's side the rulers of the world the government will be in that group [Music] and people you know think that if the government is with them they are safe but not so when it comes to these spiritual matters friends may i remind you that there will be no middle ground you will either be on the side of christ or we'll be on the side of the devil the mark each side will be giving out a mark or a seal the mark you receive will determine your eternal destiny your eternal situation and i am emphasizing friend that no is the time to make sure you are at the right side so we get into the message tonight doing understand from god's word what is his will so i go to the book of revelation chapter 7 and i begin to read verse 1. john says he's in vision remember revelation is a book of apocalyptic prophecies prophecies in the last days prophecies that have been fulfilled in the last days many things are being revealed that's all it is john says and after these things i saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth holding the four winds of the earth that the wind should not blow on the sea nor on the sea sorry on the earth nor on the sea nor on any trees very profound words right four angels standing on the four corners of the earth does the earth have four corners we will find okay and the angels were holding four winds before in our previous presentation i think when we did daniel 7 i explained to you i showed you that wings refer to wars strife commotion disasters those dreadful things taking place in our world right now okay yes dan says as he continued to look revelation 7 verse 2 then i saw another angel ascending from the east having the seal or the mark of the living god we're getting into something tonight having received this angel ascending from the east at the seal of the living god god special mark and he that angel from the east cried with a load voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea i hope you don't notice a ship a previously previous verse says four angels uh holding the four winds and now we are being told that it was granted to them to harm the earth and they see not already had permission they had the permission board they were holding back so this angel from the east shouted to them do not harm the earth the sea or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our god on their foreheads don't do it these four angels have the power to bring destruction and disaster upon this planet but the angel from the he says wait a little longer we have some people of god on whom we have to put his special seal special mark in their foreheads friends god is merciful and before he sends disasters on the planet he has always sent a warning remember sodom lok went down there to live and during that time lot would have been warning the people to turn from their evil ways to serve the living god before the lord sent the destruction by the flood in noah's timeframe noah for 120 years preached god does not take the life in destruction but every now and again he has to allow it to wake us up to shake us up to get our attention so these four angels were standing on the four corners of the earth holding the winds four angels holding back the winds of strife no i always wonder when i read this passage if god's angels are holding back the winds of strife the war the disasters the bloodshed the crime and the violence if they are presently holding back and we are having so many problems in this world can you imagine when they cease when they stop holding and check these things we think that the world is in trouble no yes it is in trouble but we are not seeing the real trouble yet just wait until they are gone so four angels four corners four wins no it does not mean that god has literally four ages and you and i know that the earth does not have four corners right four represents totality so and the four winds would refer to the four directions everywhere in other words so what that mean friend four angels standing on the four corners up there holding the four heads means god's controlling agencies over the forces of evil worldwide right keeping that war strife disaster promotion which would prevent his work of sealing from going on that's why the angel from the he said heard not the earth neither is seen on the tree still we have sealed the servants of our god in their forehead that means the ceiling work would be prevented if we are if we had a planet with much more disaster more destruction than we have now despite the wars going on on the farmings and this right now i just heard on the weather a little while ago that a tropical depression yesterday has become a tropical storm and by late this week early into next week it will become a hurricane we had one the other day an earthquake look what happened in afghanistan today a suicide bomb killing over 60 persons and in elsewhere other parts in the middle east yemen we already hear about it because afghanistan has been stealing the spotlight right god's angels agencies are holding back otherwise it would be worse maybe friends if god's angels are agents we're not willing but we would have had another world war already another nuclear strike you have heard over the last few years about the tension this sword wrestling between uh north korea and and the us and then iran got involved and you have heard what russia is doing to some of its neighbors you we know of the war in syria syrian government trying to eliminate opposition friends what a time what if god's agents angels were not holding back it would be worse frightening but it's true so the angel from the he said earth not the earth neither the sea nor the tree still this mean friend that one day god is going to allow his angels to hurt the planet god is a god of love you know he's a god of mercy but there are two sides to god justice and mercy his love allows him to exercise mercy to us though we are undeserving but one day his justice will punish otherwise he wouldn't be god remember all sin came to this planet and you have seen we have seen the history and the records of the dreadful conditions but one day god will have to bring this mess to an end he made this planet to be inhabited a place of peace and righteousness truth and justice look at how many injustices are being manifested in our world by government sometimes yes but one day god is going to hurt the earth the holding back by his four angels will come to an end these angels will one day lose the winds of war of strife and bloodshed crime and violence we have crime problems in almost every country on the planet we have more than our fair share here in jamaica but friends this is nothing to be compared with what is coming satan angels when god's angels lose the wind when god tells them to let go satan's angels will then have full control over the planet now remember when adam sold out to the devil satan became the god of this world right but he doesn't really have full control but one day friends god will tell his angels to lose the wind then satan and his angels will have full control over the planet and i want you to understand that angels have a vast amount of great amount of power friends yes and remember that the evil angels did not lose their power when they were expelled from heaven that's why they are able to do all these terrible things down here and by the way if the lord's angels were not protecting us we would some of those many of us will be gone already but in psalm 91 i think the bible says the angel of the lord yes and campus round about them that fear him and delivers them that's why if we are serving god we don't have to be afraid of an earthquake of a hurricane of criminals because no harm can come to us if god does not permit it when the devil wanted to afflict job he had to get permission from the lord and if the lord in his wisdom and mercy permits something like that he has something good up his sleeve that's why we can trust him yes so satan's angels are down here one day they will have full control over this planet it will be a dreadful time and the lord tells us before so that we can seek a refuge in the time of storm the lord's our rock in him we hide a shelter in the time of stark so friends when that dreadful time comes when god's angels are gone when the winds are loose only those with the seal of god will be protected so god's people will be sealed to enable them to enable us to go through the hurting of the earth another name for that is the great tribulation that is coming earth not the earth earth not the earth the earth neither the scene or the tree is still we have sealed till we have mark the servants of god in their foreign that's why the seal will be given before the hurting of the earth or before the tribulation just as how the children of israel were instructed by god from moses to kill a lamb and use the blood to to mark over their doorposts so that when the destroying angels passed through that night those houses where that had the blood on the doppels would be protected and you know this story when the destroying angels passed through that night there was a dead person the firstborn of every the firstborn child in every egyptian home was killed but those homes of the israelites which had the blood on the doorpost were speared so great destruction is coming from believe me god's word has never filled but god always made provision for those who want to escape to escape that's why we are going through this message tonight he's going to put a special mark just as how the israelites were protected by the blood and their dual force now the bible says that the angel will put the seal in the forehead not only for it same word in the original language but let me tell you from right now you won't be seeing any literal mark on anybody's forehead sealed in the forehead forehead means it is something that the lord will be putting in the mind why because you know the mind is the seat of intelligence in proverbs 4 23 the the lord tells solomon tells us keep the heart of thy mind with all diligence for all of it are the issues of life what is in our mind is what guides us what is in our mind help us to make the decisions we make our minds determine the kinds of persons we are yes the mind is the measure of the man i told you that last saturday when we look at the battle going on for our mind the devil knows that you know god will be putting his seal in the minds of people so the devil is working to corrupt people's minds to confuse people so that they won't be able to receive into their mind god's special mark friend this thing is crucial it is profound so this work of putting something in the minds of people is a word that can easily be hindered by wars commotion strike and natural disasters and the other calamities we have on the planet this world of putting something in our mind so right away is something that the lord wants to teach us friends get into our consciousness get into our minds so that we will make the right decisions according to romans 4 11 in the bible a sign or seal represents the same thing it's just another word and remember that paul says about abraham and he received the sign of circumcision a seal of the righteousness of god so sign and seal are interchangeable okay god has a sign a seal that he's going to put into people's minds no but we are familiar with seals even today we use seals but all rulers even know have seals and there are three things that constitute a seal three things that go to make a passive the name of the ruler the title of the ruler and the territory over which the ruler presides three things those three things after being a seal and yes as i said all rulers have seals when that seal is placed on a document it means that it has the backing the approval the authority of the ruler so and the picture on the screen you see a seal an example of a seal president of the united states seal of the president of the united states so right here we have the the ruler and we have the territory so whoever is president at any particular time would have his name inscribed here for example joe biden president of the united states the territory is identified so we know it's not of britain boris johnson has a seal for britain right a seal shows authority and ownership if you get a letter from the prime minister's office you are going to have his seal on it to show that he owns the document it comes with his authority so god has a seal too remember much deception in the last days everybody claiming to be god's followers claiming to be christians god does not want us to be confused about who are his true people so he has a seal that he's going to be placing in the minds of his people god still contains his name his title and his territory so let me get to the point what is the sign or seal that god has in ezekiel 20 verse 12 the bible says moreover and this is god speaking moreover i gave i also gave them my sabbath's friends sabbats to be a sign or to be a seal remember seal and sire sign of the same thing to be a sign between them and me that they might know that i am the lord who sanctifies them and you notice on my screen there the word lord is written in capital letters it means that in the original language in which that part of the bible was written it was yhwh which can't be pronounced so they have added volumes over the years so it has become yahweh and when it is translated into english it becomes jehovah so in other words that they might know that i am jehovah who sanctifies them friends pay attention this is a life and death matter you might have to go and teach them to your friends and relatives and co-workers who are not on this platform tonight after the door of mercy is closed it will not make any more sense then in verse 20 of the same ezekiel 20 god says again follow my sabbaths that they will be a sign between me and you that you may know that i am the lord i am yahweh i am jehovah your god because it's not everybody who claims to belong to god belong to him in first timothy i think verse chapter 2 verse 19 paul says god the lord knows those who belong to him we can fool ourselves we can fool others but we cannot fool the lord god knows right so friends the sabbath is identified as god's special sign god seal that he wants to put into the minds of people because when it comes out when it comes to our minds we will act them all let me show you something now about the commandment that directs us to keep the sabbath the selfie of the week exodus 20 verses 8 to 11 god says remember these commandments were written and stolen by god with his own fingers so he gave some other laws to the israelites those were written in a book but the ten commandments were written on stone which suggests permanency which suggests endurance they were given to the israelites to be given to the rest of the world the israelites should be god's ambassadors god's god's prophets and priests to teach the rest of the world listen to what the commandment says and i know you know it but let's read it too quickly together god says remember the sabbath day to keep it holy six days shall go labor and do all thy work but the seventh day this seventh day friends not the second not the first not the sixth but the seventh day god was specific in identified but the same day is the sabbath of the lord jehovah thy god in it though shall not do any work no not thy soul not thy daughter thy man servant not thy name servant nor thy cattle nor thy stranger that is within thy gate if you're a sabbath depends treat strangers come to your house they and their dear and the sabbath they must hit the suburb that's your domain your your territory you should not allow anybody to come here and break the sabbath why you are keeping it if you are a true kind of god right so god says the seventh day is the sabbath friends i don't know why the world is so stubborn god is so plain shortly yes and the reason god gives for commanding us to keep the sabbath is because in six days jehovah made the heavens and the earth they see and all that in there is and rested the same day by the way god was not tired the word rested there does not suggest he was tired it suggests that he simply stopped have you ever noticed that god made something on the first second third fourth fifth and six days of creation but he only made the same day he didn't do any other work on it god never had anything else to make so he must have made it for a special reason friends he stopped working right therefore the lord jehovah blessed the sabbath day he didn't do that to any other day and the first second third fourth fifth sixth day ah the lord looked at his work and he said the word was very good now the bible says god added two things to the seventh day he blessed it and he hallowed it he made it holy man cannot make any other day holy friends please please under god has the power to make something holy and he did it to the sabbath that's why the sabbath is so special it is god's special mark or sign and i show you know remember the three things that must be in the seal the name of the ruler the territory and the title so here is it god's name god's title god's territory his name is lord our jehovah yahweh why hwah is titled creator for in six days the over made i created them on the earth heaven and earth constitute his territory right so the sabbath is god's seal or his sign so what is the significance of the sabbath the sabbath is a sign of god's lordship and his sanctification remember what ezekiel 20 verses 12 and 20 told us the sabbath is a sign that jehovah is our lord our boss our master and it is also a sign that he sanctifies us we can't sanctify ourselves so listen when jehovah when the lord rules and sanctifies us we develop his character yes that's why we know some church members are not under the rule of god whether they are adventists baptist catholics it doesn't matter when we are being sanctified by the lord or behavior is going to be different we are going to be meek and lowly we are going to be christ-like yes you see serving god is not just about a day it's about our character the way we live that's why unfortunately friends many sabbath keepers will be missing out yeah because people can go to church on saturdays or rest on saturdays but if they are not christ-like they are going to be in trouble right i've got to be careful but the sabbath is that awkward sign that the lord places on his people to let the world know that they are his people so the seal of god that the angels are putting in the foreign is god's character in his people demonstrated openly by true sabbath i want my adventist brethren to remember that true sabbath keeping and you studied your summer school as this morning right many of us are not truly keeping this about they speak our own words we do all kind of foolish things that the lord says we shouldn't do it is a time to spend with god so can imagine that first sabbath adam and eve created the friday evening and the next day was the sabbath and in the book of job we are told that the sons of god the angels shouted for joy it was a celebration day it's about a beautiful experience and we are in harmony with the lord so yes the sabbath was given at creation remember that it was repeated at sinai as a part of the ten commandments it was kept by god's people throughout jesus our savior when he was on earth at the sabbath after he returned to him his disciples honored the sabbath the sabbath is a sign of god's power to create it is a memorial of creation and by the way in the new earth when sin and sinners are no more according to isaiah 66 23 the sabbath will be kept no sunday keeping no monday keeping no friday keeping as the muslims do it will be there not at all friends because the summer sabbath is god's eternal sign by the way the sabbath was given first of all to our first two parents adam and eve no jew was around and according to the bible the sabbath is not just for jews listen to what the bible says god said the lord and i'm reading from isaiah 56 isaiah chapter 56 you can find it as i read to make sure what i am reading is there god said the lord just said to you keep the judgment and do justice for my salvation is near to come oh he's talking about the time near to is coming and my righteousness to be revealed what is he saying bless it watch this no friends watch this no blessed is the man that doing this and the son of man that laid hold on him that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it and keeping his hand from doing any evil so you see it's not just about keeping we have to live godly righteous lives if we keep the sabbath and we practice evil that special blessing is not for us then the lord continued that that this first part was for the jews right but listen to what the lord says in the next verse neither let the son of the stranger those non-jews that have joined himself to the lord speak saying the lord has utterly separated me from his people no if you are not a jew don't complain that the lord has separated you from his people and you are not going to have the special blessings of the sabbath neither let the eunuch say behold i am a dry tree watch this no friends for those said the lord unto the eunuchs that keep my servants and the truth the things that please me and they take hold of my covenant yes that covenant relationship covenant of grace that he gave to abraham and isaac and jacob and noah that new covenant that paul talks about in the new testament that please me and take hold of my covenant even unto them the lord is talking to the strangers and the eunuchs of the non-jews even unto them will i give in my my hopes and within my words a place and a name better than our sons and daughters yes the lord they will exalt us i interviewed a lady today who was who has been exalted by the lord very successful god when we embrace god's covenant we become a part of his family he says i will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off even when you die you will be resurrected to be in the king's kingdom he was speaking to the eunuch now he says also the sons of this church that join themselves to the lord to serve him and to love the name of the lord to be his servants everyone that keep the sabbath from polluting it and take it hold of my covenant friend what a promise yes right so the sabbath was for gentiles is for gentiles friends that's why jesus says in march 2 verse 27 this sabbath was made for man right human beings god could not keep such a good thing for jews only and of course remember that the jews rebelled against jesus and jesus rejected them and called out the christian church it started with jews but gentiles were invited in as paul and the other disciples went around preaching first of all the sabbath is a good thing so yes john tells us in revelation verse 4 that 144 000 persons were sealed remember we are talking about a special ceiling work before the tribulation it's going on right now so john says in revelation verse 9 after these things i look and behold a great multitude which no one could number in revelation chapter 7 verse 4 it is called the 144 thousand it's a symbolic number but then john gets the clearer picture it is not literally 144 it is a great number which no one could call not only jews but they come from all nations tribes peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the lamb yes they are in heaven no clothes with white robes with palm branches in their hands yes who are these people clothed with white robes and palms in their hands who are they then the angel told john these are the ones who come out of the great tribulation and wash their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb god's final generation of christians who will stand up against the tribulation stand up against the persecution friend because at that time the whole world will be turning against them and we see signs that it is beginning right now right god's people will enjoy the wrath of satan and his followers just right at the end the preparation for that is being made now friends do you understand what is going on in the world but god will deliver them yes and the suffering that god allows them to pass through will only purify their characters made them white in the blood of the lamb therefore they are before the throne of god and serve him day and night in his people in his temperature yes right friends that special mark is god's sabbath it is a special day blessed and sanctified and the lord gives it to anybody who accepts his covenant and join him to serve him so jesus said in matthew 27 i refer to it before he said unto them the sabbath was made from man and not manchester united god made the sabbath to benefit you and me we can't benefit the sabbath the sabbath is already holy right so having looked at god seal and his people now before we close i quickly go to show you satan's mark the mark that will be on everybody who is not on god's side remember there will only be two groups the great controversy started with two groups those on the side of christ those on the side of satan and in the end times just before the coming of christ it will be two groups again as a matter of fact it's too optional but satan has a way to divide up his people into numerous different entities right so in revelation 13 we now discover what the mark of satan that will be taken up by many people will be dan says in revelation 13 11 then i saw another beast coming up out of the earth and he had two horns like a lamb yes and i i told you in a previous presentation that this lamb-like piece represents the great united states of america it came up it was established in a relatively underpopulated area of the world it would look like christ it would be christ-like at first but then it would behave as a drug and a persecutor that's how satan does this thing yes so that's why coming on so let's listen to what this power will be listen to what the united states will do i have to speak i'm not against the united states i'm not against the catholic church but i have to tell you these things god placed them in the bible for us to learn because remember friends a great amount of deception in the last days leading up to the coming of christ false christs and false prophets will appear and show great signs and one so listen to what this power listen to what the united states really and he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his prison and the first piece in revelation 13 represents the pay pass i told you that last right so the united states will do some terrible things powerful things by the things with the support of the papacy they have been working together since 1984. he discussed that class right and causes the earth watch this no friends and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first peace the united states of america will soon begin to force people to follow the teachings of the papacy that's bible right that's bible whose deadly wound was healed so this means we don't have to make any mistake the papacy received a deadly wound in 1798 but in 1929 that wound was healed and since that time the papacy has grown into a world dominating power right so this beast the second bc united states was granted power to give bread to the image of the beast that the image of the bee should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast can you imagine that one day coming the united states will be killing people who do not do what they say who do not follow them to worship the first beast it looks strange friends the united states is such a free country great democracy animals of rights criminals are rights everybody has rights but one days sooner than we think the freedom to worship god will be taken away from those who do not worship the beast and its image but listen more yes the us government will pass religious laws supporting the practices of the churches now watch this now revelation 13 verse 16 be the same beast the same united states causes all both small and great rich and poor free and slave to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads so the united states will cause the people to receive a mark notice god seal god's mark is only given the foreigner in the foreign this one will be given by on the hand or only foreign and what is what is going to happen and that no one might buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of days there is a time coming when if you don't have the mark of the beast which the united states will impose you can't do any business by the way may i say here the market for the beast is not equipping 19 boxing that's a different kepler fish don't confuse the issues i tell you explicitly what it is now little while right somebody has said that they called midnight in maybe a practice run you know to see if people would really vote to something but that's another story that i would get into right now right but the time is very near when if you don't have the mark of the beast whatever that mark is you will not be able to do any business there will be a total economic boycott of the people who don't receive the mark of the beast oh so let us hear what is the mark of the beast let us hear from the beast itself and we identified the beast in a previous story to be the antichrist with all the reformers coming down from the middle ages identified as the papacy the antichrist of bible prophecy let's see what the papers he says is it's mark record september 1 1922 they say sunday is our mouth of authority they said that that adventist they hear what they say now listen for their reasoning the church is above the bible this is a statement from a catholic book catholic record the church is above the bible and this transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact they are saying to show you that we have power is the fact that we have transferred the sabbath from saturday to sunday right and the whole world as almost the whole world has accepted it in another book saint catherine catholic church sentinel may 21 1995 not too long ago hear what they say yeah what catholics say perhaps the boldest thing the most revolutionary change the church ever did happened in the first century the early days after christ has not processed i don't but watch this know but from the church's sense of its own power they say we have yeah we are powerful and we are we are we are cognizant of our power here what the catholic savior people who think that the scripture should be the soul authority should logically become seventh day adventist and keep saturday holy friends you're here tell your relatives and friends who keep sunday but the catholic church says if the bible is the authority they should keep the seventh day of the week i subbed and become seventh-day adventists what a good piece of advice i hope those sunday keepers who are listening to me tonight will follow it tell your other friends this is not adventist statement i'm not sharing it with you they say sunday is their mark and if you believe the bible is the authority in religious matters you should keep saturday at the sabbath and become seventh year what more do you want friends may the lord help us here's some other statements plain talk about protestantism of today then the observance of sunday by many protestants is a homage they pay in spite of themselves to the authority of the catholic church friend you're here if you're passing saying when you keep sunday you are paying homage to the catholic church with them taurus college father and right he says the bible says remember that okay holy the sabbath day the catholic church says no by my divine power i abolish the sabbath day and command you to keep only the first they have the we who gave them that performance and the law this is what they say the entire civilized world goes down in reverence obedient reverent obedience to the command of the holy catholic church friends if you keep sunday you are following the command of the catholic church this is their own word yes so one day very soon the united states will charm with the catholic church the united states will use its power to pressure people to keep sunday as a sabbath remember god says the seventh day and here's a statement no one has yet received the mark of the beast if you are a sunday keeper right now you have not yet received the man there are true christians in every church not accepting the roman catholic communion no none are condemned until they have had the light and have seen the obligation of the fourth commandment so that's why we are having this program until you get the full understanding and the laws passed by the government of the world including our jamaica you won't be said to have the mark of the beast right once you have a clear understanding and you still decide to go with it following the rulers you are going to be in trouble as you know what is going to happen to the people who have the amount of release church and state will unite to enforce religious practices in the united [Music] the st which is the seal of god and the mark of the beast which is sunday each human being on planet earth must decide we will have to follow the lamb jesus christ who was slain for us and we would have to follow the beast ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters in these last days god invites his people to take a stand even if it means you're going to suffer even if it means you can't by ourselves it's better according to revelation 12 verse 11 to die for christ dies following christ die obeying him than to live in disobedience because if you live in disobedience when the tribulation begins you can't escape when everlasting fire comes down from god don't offer me your character the only say of course my friends is for us to be true followers of christ lovingly keeping his commandments including the one that says the seventh is the sabbath it is god's special mark which he puts on people both jew and gentile when they accept jesus as lord and commit their lives to serving him i have told you some rough things tonight please after we close pray about it if you are not a sabbath keeper yet pray about it ask god to give you the strength the courage to stand and god will stand with us jesus says in the world we shall have tribulation but we are to be of good share because jesus has overcome the world remember the sealed people the ones who receive god seal will come through great tribulation but they will wash their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb may you and i stand up bravely and courageous for god surrender our lives to jesus begin to keep all his commandments including the one that says we are to keep the sabbath so that that past will stand with him in the new jerusalem that our little boy sang above tonight after the tribulation there will be jupiter may god help us to be there make up your mind to become a true sincere follower of jesus christ so keep the sabbath we are having baptismal services all over the place this coming sabbath if you are overseas just find an adventist find an adventist church and tell them that by god's ways you have heard
