know how many are old enough to admit you've heard that song before there you go all the young people were looking at each other saying did snoop dogg right that i haven't heard that one before but anyway we're so glad to have all of you in the house tonight didn't we have a wonderful sunday morning here in georgia and i am so proud of you i know that it's not your normal habit to be back out on a sunday night some of you folks if the lord would have told you years ago there'd come a time in your life when you'd go to church on sunday you'd have said i don't i don't think so i'm not the religious type and but if they'd have told you you're going to go to church on sunday morning you're going to go have lunch and then you're going to turn around and come back and go again sunday night you say i don't know what you're smoking but you got the wrong person i can tell you right now there is no way that this person would ever go to church on a sunday morning and turn around and come back after lunch and go sunday night again and then you tell them well not only that you're going to turn around and come back monday night on a monday night but anyway who knows the lord could come tonight while we're sleeping and if the lord does come tomorrow night where he comes tonight uh either way i'll not be speaking so feel free to come if you'd like but i'll be gone i hope you'll be gone too i believe in the soon coming of the lord i'm excited tonight because we're gonna take a little left turn tonight and we're going to go into the book of revelation and i'm going to spend the last two services doing my best to give you an update on where we're at in the final bible prophecy i've been preaching on eschatology and bible prophecy for over four decades it's one of my great passions i probably have close to twenty thousand books in my personal library and i haven't read them all have read most of them and i don't say that to boast i'm telling you i still study on a regular basis and uh i don't think there's a week that goes by that that probably is less than 20 hours i uh the older i get the more i love the bible the more i realize i don't know the more i realize i need to know but i will promise you to do my best to preach it in a way that's clear and it'll not be a college lecture i think the lord will speak to your heart let me do one more song and i want to do one tonight that i think just about everybody in america knows in fact if you don't know this one shame shame shame on you but when i get to the chorus uh i think most of you all be able to help me sing whether you're five or fifty or 150 amazing grace how sweet to sound [Music] oh how sweet like me [Music] foreign [Music] was blind but now i see [Music] was grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears [Music] up [Music] we'll be there [Music] the sun [Music] just to see us [Music] to see god's purpose praise grace [Music] god's grace praise the will pardon and cleanse god's grace grace god is greater than more my [Music] god's grace [Music] with god's grace grace time is greater than all my sins [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] praise the lord how many love some of those old hymns my uh my mother who may be watching is 89 years old and through the years my mother has made me promise that i'd not stop singing some of the great hymns and i know many of you are getting to know me for the first time but over the last 40 years pretty much every night in ministry thank you gentlemen if you appreciate these men give them a hand but throughout the entirety of my ministry i've tried to do one of the classic old hymns every night and the truth is it's not a chore and i don't do it just out of respect for my mother i do it because i grew up on those old hymns and they still speak to me and it's hard to beat songs like amazing grace and how great thou art in one of our lost lamb events on uh sunday morning i had sung the classic hymn the old rugged cross which i'll do while i'm here but it's one of my favorites i don't know why but i've always loved the old rugged cross and not too long ago a gentleman by the name of kenny chesney recorded the old rugged cross and loved his rendition and when i went to nashville on the last project loved that arrangement and i had sung that on a sunday morning and a young lady that got saved that morning along with many that had responded i was down at the front shaking hands and telling people i was proud of them and and she said uh that second song this morning she said i don't know what it was but there was something about that second song it just melted my heart she said did you write that and i was trying to think what the second song i sang that morning was and then it dawned on me that i had sung the old rugged cross and she said did you write that i said yes i did tell all your friends but you know you're getting old when you sing one of the most recognized and recorded hymns in church history and a college age student has never heard it before but you know that's precious to me i'm glad i've lived long enough to introduce some of those old songs to some of you young people by the way i appreciate all of the young people that are here and i'm so thankful that you're in the house of god i'm not anywhere near as hip and youthful as my son jonathan you'll never see me in in shoes with spikes in them unless i'm on the golf course every now and then i'll see something on social media that my son's wearing and i'll i'll ask the lord where i failed and then i'll text him and say i don't know where you got that outfit you wore last night when you preach but you look like you raided richard simmons yard sale you keep dressing like that you won't be going to the hunting camp anymore i can tell you that right now but anyway how many of ray's kids know they've got minds of their own but uh you know i tease jonathan a lot just because people know him you know most of his life his whole life growing up everywhere he went i heard it a thousand times or more he'd he'd meet somebody and they'd say oh you're tiff's son and uh so now he's gotten to a place in life where occasionally we'll be together and he'll introduce me and say oh you're jonathan's dad in just the case we need some clarification while i'm here uh let me just put it to you this way he's the product i'm the producer just took me one night that's all it took lord i apologize for that and i ask you to forgive me but as i've i've told him many times through the years you better you better smarten up because i brought you into this world i'll take you out of this world i'll make another one just like you but jonathan has just been such a delight in our family and to be honest with you he's not caused me really one day of grief uh in my entire life jonathan has always loved the lord and but when he was younger the only time he got in trouble oh trust me he got in trouble in school all the time but it was usually out of not being able to control his wit and sense of humor he's had that ever since he was a little little guy and it is on steroids at this stage in his life but uh my son jonathan and my daughter jessica are make judy and i awful proud and and i hope one day you get to meet my daughter jessica and her husband steve i sometimes tease jonathan and tell him i said i hope one day you can preach half as well as your sister because i've got a daughter that's full of the holy ghost and fire and knows the bible from cover to cover and she can hold her own when she preaches i feel the anointing of the holy spirit so i want to just pause and give praise to the lord for his goodness to judy and i and and for our children and i'm so thankful that probably through jonathan's connection here is why i'm here today i never called your pastor i don't think i formally met your pastor until uh we met for supper last night and jonathan and i were talking last night and i said i'll be honest with you i said i'm i'm not real sure uh how the connection came about i meet a million people a year but i said i'm i'm not a hundred percent sure if somebody asked me how i connected with brother mike childs i don't know what the answer to that would be jonathan said well i'm the one that spoke to pastor childs about you in a great length and he said i'm sure that's the reason why you're here and he said be sure to tell him that he didn't listen to one thing i told you you wouldn't be there but but that's jonathan anyway how many brought your bibles tonight revelation chapter 13 and just before we get into the bible i was going to show you a video this morning and there was just some tech errors and they were quite frustrated that they had tech errors i said listen i've preached in third world countries for 40 some years that had no tech whatsoever and it doesn't hurt the lord and it doesn't hinder the anointing of the holy spirit and they didn't have any of that available to him in the first century church but so that you might get to know the ministry a little better i thought maybe i'd just take you on a quick trip around the world and so they're going to show that video right now before we get into the word go and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit teach these new disciples to obey all the commands i have given you and be sure of this i am with you always even to the end of the age the bible said go ye into all the world all the world preach the gospel that's what we're doing our best to accomplish [Music] [Music] it is cold today i think we're somewhere in single digits and the wind's blowing it's smoking hot and we're right on the [Music] equator [Music] [Music] just finished our outreach here on the village of saint michael we're here in the village of bay men i just finished the outreach back in the village of delta junction this is my host pastor here in motion we're here in quito getting ready to board the plane here in tanzania flying up top [Music] praise the lord and uh with god's help that's what we've done for 42 years as some of you may know my dad was a preacher and um daddy's gone home to be with the lord he was 83 and june will be nine years that he's been gone my mother's 89 years old and still living and still living in her own home we about lost her prior to christmas she had an infection and went into the hospital for a simple treatment and while she was in the hospital got covered and between a lot of things that were going through those physical battles we just about lost her she's still not a hundred percent but she is home and living on her own so pray for her she texted me i saw it just before she figured out how to work an iphone a computer she's amazing but she texted me before service and she said i wonder if there'd be any way i know it's out of your way and i know you're busy but would there be any way that you could drive over and see me this week she thought i was in columbus ohio so i let her know i was in columbus georgia but i i promised her i said i'll i'll come and see you again just as soon as as i possibly can and so mama if you're watching online i love you and appreciate you but being raised as a preacher's kid one of the things that by the time i was a teenager that really spoke to my heart is that 95 of the preachers are speaking to five percent of the world's population and that uh if you're called to missions and evangelism you really ought to make an effort to reach people that have never heard the gospel and so with the help of the lord as much as we're able we go to unreached places and preach the gospel i think on that video you saw me going up the amazon river we went up on a series of of events that were set up when i say events they weren't big crusades and we've done large crusades but this was just going to villages i in one day i went into seven villages and held seven crusades and brought humanitarian projects into all seven villages and at one point the young man that was in the boat with me that was supposed to be my tour guide it would have been nice if they'd had given me somebody that spoke english and but at one point he got me lost on one of the tributaries in the amazon river and i've had some adventures but god has faithfully kept me the enemy has tried to kill me on many occasions i've never been stoned but i've been in places where they tried and i've got into vehicles with my security team when the stones were flying i openly admit i've gone into places of the world illegally i've hired mercenaries and teams of mercenaries to travel with me my life belongs to the lord and i believe in his soon coming so strongly that i feel like somebody needs to be willing to go to unreached places and as i get older you know some of my friends i'm 62 they said you know when are you going to retire i'm not going to retire and i have no intentions i mean what am i going to do buy a pair of polyester shorts and go to florida and play shuffleboard in the villages that ain't going to happen so as long as i've got breath and as long as i've got strength uh on my extended fast in january this year i asked the lord lord the bible said that caleb said when he was 85 years old lord i'm as strong now as when i was 40. so give me now this mountain that belongs to me and lord what you'll do for one man you'll do for any man so if you would see fit would you give me supernatural strength so that i can do what i'm called to do at least into my 80s and maybe 90s if the lord tarries now i'm not sure the lord's going to tarry that long but i'm going to do my best to reach unreached people until jesus comes a pastor has been so gracious in encouraging me to take offerings for the ministry and uh i'm really not going to take an offering tonight per se i always just do one thing and people get confused i've had businessmen and business women that have come to me in events and said are you financially independent that you say little to nothing about money and i said nothing could be further from the truth i said i've just lived long enough to know who takes care of the ministry and it's not me the one thing i learned from the billy graham organization is if you'll preach the gospel faithfully and you'll do it with integrity and you'll do things right before the eyes of god in the eyes of men and live a holy life that god will always take care of you and the bible is pretty clear it says men should never put pressure upon people to give that's in the bible but it also says people should give by the leading of the spirit and so i told pastor you know he's been asking me to i think and pushing me to be a little stronger i'm the worst offering taker you'll ever have in this church but i know who provides for this ministry and i've done this for 42 years and so i'm just going to let god do what he always does and i'm just going to ask you humbly if while i'm here you would pray and just ask the lord lord what would you have us to give the lost lamb and then be obedient that's all that i ask whether you do that in one offering or on the last night whenever you do it or don't do it that's between you and the lord i know i'll be blessed because one of the reasons lost lamb is blessed because we give and we sow and we do so every week and i told pastor i said if it'd be all right with you i've never been to your church before i've got to earn their respect and i've got to earn their favor if the lord would allow it and so we're not taking one penny of what you give this week for myself or even for staff we're going to designate whatever comes in i've already called one of the villages in the arctic circle that we're helping they're revitalizing a church there and we're going to finish off the budget of that revitalization project with whatever comes in here up to a certain point if you surprise me then there's another place that i'd like to help we're also helping young people as chairman of the board of north point bible college and graduate school i'm trying to revive the founders original vision which is almost 100 years old and it was a lady sister christine gibson from ghana that founded the bible college here in america but she had a vision and part of what she felt like is no young person called by god should be turned away from a bible college ministry preparation or education because of financial inability and i believe that and many of the international students that we helped they couldn't afford a plane ticket to even come to the college let alone books and room and board and tuition costs so with god's help in recent years we've set aside a lost slam scholarship and we've given away over a hundred thousand dollars in scholarships to young people from international countries my goal is to do half a million dollars a year that's what my goal is and i just want to say one thing tonight i give you my word that whatever you give to this ministry will be used prayerfully and carefully and so that's all i'm going to say so if your men want to take an offering help themselves the rest of you open your bibles to revelation 13. revelation 13 oh by the way pastor told me if you want to make your check out to river church at columbus you can do that if you want to make it out the lost lamb you can do that whatever makes you happy that's between you and the lord as well i will say this and this isn't for everybody maybe it's for somebody online this may be for one person this may be for two people it might be for a holy handful i don't know but if god has blessed you in a significant way can i challenge you uh to give a significant gift thank you revelation 13 verse 1 how many enjoy bible prophecy by the way i challenge you to uh connect with our our program entitled understanding bible prophecy with tiff shuttlesworth uh that is available to you on youtube if you uh use youtube uh it is available to you in uh facebook if you follow our facebook page all of those broadcasts are archived there some of the younger people enjoy the podcast channel all of those can be accessed just by using my name as a search if you put in tiff shuttlesworth and lost lamb there aren't many of us i'm the only one on the planet so if you put in tiff shuttlesworth and lost lamb you'll find us and what we typically do and by the way if you have questions on bible prophecy that's pretty much how we put programs together so for example one of the most recent questions last month is is the coveted vaccine is there any chance that that's the mark of the beast most common question that came in last month through social media and so i put together an entire biblical uh teaching uh on that people have a lot of serious and sincere uh questions if you're in my office and you have uh the tape of this you could begin the edit right here tonight i want to speak to you on a subject i believe that will change your entire perspective on living in the last days i want to speak to you on the subject of the five end time political agendas because sadly because many people do not thoroughly understand prophecy and no condemnation i'll be the first one to admit of all of the theologies that we study eschatology or the study of prophecy the study of end times is perhaps one of the more difficult theologies for people to understand and one of the reasons for that is because people have varying views and misunderstandings and so you can listen to five people on a certain subject in prophecy and get five different opinions but here's what i promise i'll always do for you i always start in the bible i always stay in the bible and i always finish in the bible you're never going to hear my opinion on bible prophecy if the bible teaches it i'll teach it and i'll preach it the mistake in bible prophecy and prolifically so in north america and sadly more so because of social media it's amazing how many people are on social media preaching and teaching the bible who are not qualified to do so and it really in many cases is pathetic when i listen to some of the error and some of the false doctrine but sadly people listen and blindly believe if the bible said it then we should say it but listen carefully god didn't say everything about every detail of the last days and where the scripture in bible prophecy is silent then those who teach it and preach it should be silent and we've got too many people trying to fill in the blanks that god never intended for the blanks to be filled in but what i'm going to show you tonight is these five political agendas are absolutely found in the scripture without any wiggle room and when i'm done you'll thoroughly understand it i'm going to do my best to make it as clear as i possibly can all of the young people all of the children i see young people on the front rows with bibles open and that blesses my heart i always challenge people that come to our meetings bring a bible and i'd challenge you if you'd mind me being a little old school bring a real bible and not a digital bible i don't have any problem with digital devices i use one my life notes are in a digital device and it's wonderful that we can have such luxuries those of us that study and are involved in academics to be able to store everything and to have it at the tips of our hands when i first started in ministry i carried a large samsonite suitcase that probably weighed close to 100 pounds because i had my favorite research and study books in that samsonite suitcase and when i'd pull it out of a truck and somebody from the church would want to help me carry it they couldn't pick it up that was my ipad back in the early 80s and so i'm thankful for certain modern technologies but get a real bible and study it and get a good highlighter and highlight gold nugget truths now as long as i'm here i'll pause from time to time and i'll actually say if this is not highlighted in your bible highlight it and here's why because bible prophecy is a subject that needs to be listened to repeatedly you can't listen to it one time and have the retention that you need to understand it that's why we've been on a mission to make prophecy available in large doses during coveted months our videos had 1.5 plus million views and people all over the world are hungry for answers because inherently people know we're living in the last days and now they're interested in what the bible has to say i remember a pastor in the south and he was preaching an illustrated sermon on sunday morning and in that little country church in alabama he started off by putting three mason jars on the pulpit at the beginning of his message and he said in this mason jar is moonshine and in this mason jar is chewing tobacco and in this mason jar is chocolate and i've put half a dozen night crawlers in each and every one of those three mason jars at the end of his message preaching against alcohol and preaching against tobacco and preaching against various things he then showed the jars and all of the worms in all of them were dead by the time he was done preaching all the nightcrawlers in the moonshine were dead all of the nightcrawlers in the chew and tobacco were dead all of the nightcrawlers in the chocolate were dead and he said now what do you think the holy spirit is trying to tell us this morning through this message in illustration a little boy in the front row said if we drink moonshine chewing tobacco and chocolate we'll never have worms so sometimes you have to be really clear when you open your bible and preach now i'm going to read the first 18 verses out of revelation 13 because all five of the political agendas that you're seeing in the world today and by the way it's going to be an eye-opener for many of you this is literally going to be an aha moment in understanding exactly what's going on in our country exactly what's going on in our politics and the warfare that's going on in our nation and at times it seems as if that division is being instigated to this old preacher revelation 13 verse 1 then i saw a beast rising up out of the sea pause right there the beast in verses 1 2 and 3 is the antichrist that refers to the antichrist then i saw a beast rising up out of the sea it had seven heads and ten horns with ten crowns on its horns and written on each head were names that blasphemed god this beast looked like a leopard but it had the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion and the dragon paused right there in the book of revelation and here in verse 2 the dragon refers to satan and the dragon gave the beast the antichrist his own power and throne and great authority pause again here the bible is starting to give us insight that in the last days that the power of satan is going to be intricately involved in world politics verse 3. i saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery but the fatal wound was healed the whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast pause again because we know that the antichrist is the first beast in revelation 13 the bible tells us that he is going to suffer a head wound and it will be so traumatic and so dramatic that he will rise from the dead and it will be of such awe in the news that people will automatically give some type of profound allegiance if you can imagine john f kennedy and many of you were alive when john f kennedy was assassinated those of us that were alive and though i was a little boy i remember it as if it took place a few months ago it was traumatic for an american president to be publicly assassinated and not only publicly assassinated but in a convertible vehicle while cameras were rolling and i'll not get into the graphic details because it's available in social media but there was no doubt that his head wound was beyond recovery whether it was one shot two shots three shots the conspiracy theories are debated to this day but the fact that his head was blown in pieces by whatever it was was absolutely factual he died imagine with the visible head wound that john f kennedy took and a few days later he stands at a podium as if he were untouched and miraculously healed after the whole world saw such a dramatic head injury it becomes easy to understand why there would be [Music] a majestic feeling that the world would feel about this man's miraculous recovery as a matter of fact when john f kennedy was assassinated some prophecy teachers that didn't have feet deep enough in the dirt of biblical scholarship were trying to say that he was the antichrist and he would rise from the dead but they've all been proven to be unsubstantiated in their claims let's read on the whole world marvin of this miracle gave allegiance to the beast verse 4 they worshipped the dragon for giving the beast such power and they also worshipped the beast who is as great as the beast they exclaimed who was able to fight against him then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against god pause long enough to note that the end time world political agenda is going to eventually blaspheme god if you are living with your head in the sand and you don't think that recent changes in this country are anti-church anti-bible anti-christian and anti-conservative then you my friend need a wake-up call and i pray you get it tonight the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against god and was given authority to do whatever he wanted for 42 months verse 6 and he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against god slandering his name and his dwelling that is those who dwell in heaven and the beast was allowed to wage war against god's holy people and to conquer them and he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people in language and nation and all the people who belong to this world worship the beast they are the ones whose names were not written in the book of life before the world was made the book that belongs to the lamb who was slaughtered verse 9 anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword this means that god's holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful then i saw another beast come up out of the earth he had two horns like those of a lamb but he spoke with the voice of a dragon pause again the second beast is the false prophet now i want you to get this and if you're taking notes this is prophetic biblical gold don't miss what i'm about to tell you revelation 13 for the first time in all of bible prophecy reveals to us what is called the unholy trinity satan has always tried to imitate or to counterfeit or to pervert what god has done in perfection and in holiness we know according to the scripture that in genesis 1 the bible said let us make man in our own image in the new testament when jesus was baptized in the river jordan by john the baptist jesus stood there in the waters as he was being baptized and the bible said that the spirit of god in the form of a dove came in that moment of baptism and then the scripture says the voice of god in heaven spoken said this is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased without taking time to give you a theology lesson the bible gives us a clear picture of what is called the triune godhead in other words the trinity god the father god the son and god the holy ghost are taught throughout the bible in triune nature and in the last days satan is going to in a perverted way replicate that in revelation 13 we have the revelation of the unholy trinity and just as there's god the father god the son and god the holy ghost in the last days there will be satan the antichrist and the false prophet but they are never revealed in the entirety of the bible until the book of revelation now before i go one step further let me give you some help on the book of revelation the book of revelation was written and authored in 95 a.d there has been some debate in scholarship through the years as to the date of the writing of the book of revelation but in recent years with so much more evidence constantly being revealed through archaeology and other means we now know that pretty much definitively the date of the book of revelation was 95 a.d very important john who authored the book wrote it on an island called patmos which is located off of the coast of turkey he had been sent there to be killed he survived being boiled in boiling oil miraculously there's much speculation as to what he looked like after that near-death experience but because he survived being boiled in oil he was treated with kid gloves as perhaps there's something on this man that we'd better not mess with so he was kept and contained on the island of patmos but was given the liberty to write and was given the book of revelation that we have through jesus christ the lord now here's where you're going to be blessed many of you didn't realize that you'd be blessed by being here tonight but i can give you an absolute guarantee that by attending tonight and tomorrow night that you're going to receive a guaranteed supernatural blessing and so that you won't think i'm crazy open to revelation chapter 1 and verse 3 and i'll show you the blessing in revelation chapter 1 and verse 3 in the very infancy of the book the book of revelation says depending upon your translation blessed are all those who read the words of this prophecy to the church that's me i really believe that one of the reasons why god has been so gracious to the ministry of lost lamb is because of our 40-plus years of preaching on bible prophecy because revelation 1 3 is a guaranteed covenant of god blessed are all those who read the words of this prophecy to the church that's me but let's read on because here's you blessed are all those who hear them and obey them for the time is near here's a piece of biblical theological trivia for you the book of revelation is the only book of the 66 books in the entirety of the bible that is given a spiritual motivation in its introduction all who preach prophecy all who take time to listen to prophecy and obey what it teaches will always walk in a supernatural blessing from the hand of god provided you're not living in outright sin and rebellion against the lord so your pastor probably didn't think about this but when he invites a ministry like this into your house he literally by inviting a ministry that preaches on eschatology and bible prophecy introduces a supernatural blessing into the house into the house that you live in into the house of god that you attend and into the vision of this ministry all churches that welcome bible prophecy into the sacred desk will release a supernatural favor into the house of all who listen not because i said it but because god said it in the bible now you can call me old-fashioned but when it comes to the holy bible i believe god said what he meant and meant what he said and you don't need to be a greek or hebrew scholar or aramaic scholar to read revelation 1 3 and see that god said blessed are all who read the words of this prophecy to the church and blessed are all who listen to them and obey them so if by faith in god's eternal word you receive revelation 1 3 for your own home and your own life and your own health and your own mind give the lord a mighty hand of praise [Applause] tonight i'm preaching on five political agendas of the last days we'll unfold them in just a moment tomorrow night in the final service i'm preaching on what will happen to america in the last days and these two messages actually i used to box when i was younger my birth name is tiffany i'm a preacher's kid and i'm red-headed so the answer is yes i did fight my whole life but in boxing there is a familiar term called one two it refers to certain combinations of certain punches and one is meant to work in combination with the other and tonight's message and tomorrow night's message are a biblical and prophetic one two so don't miss tomorrow night what will happen to america in the last days because there's only three possibilities in the bible for what will happen to our nation in the last days i will tell you up front that though many tried to find america in bible prophecy and create bible prophecy as being about america america is nowhere to be found in bible prophecy but there are three things that can happen to this nation based upon courses of actions by leaders governments and political agendas that will be tomorrow night so there we are at the end of verse 11 the unholy trinity is now complete satan the antichrist and the false prophet verse 12. he exercised all the authority of the first beast he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed he did astounding miracles even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching and with all of the miracles that he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast he deceived all the people now let me pause here highlight the word deceived it is one of the most critical words to locate in understanding bible prophecy the word deceive deceived and deception any time in prophecy you see those three words pay attention because deception is a part of the last political agenda on the planet and if you can't see that they are trying to deceive us i don't know where they sell iq points but you need to buy a handful the bible said he deceived all the people who belong to this world he ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast who was fatally wounded and then came back to life he was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die how's that for a severe mandate verse 16 he required everyone small and great rich and poor free and slave to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead and no one could buy or sell anything without that mark which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name wisdom is needed here let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast for it is the number of a man and his number is 6 6 6. there is an incredible powerful important passage in bible prophecy for the last days revelation 13 verses 1 through 18. we've read it let me peel it apart for you simply and biblically and show you the five political agendas before we do that let's pray father thank you for the reading of the bible and as we see in revelation 1 3 if all we did tonight was come into the house of the lord and with respect and sacredness and sensitivity to the holy spirit if all that was done was we read the first 18 verses of revelation 13 there's a blessing just in reading prophecy and there's a blessing in listening to prophecy but perhaps the greatest blessing is knowing it and living in obedience to it my prayer tonight is that not one person listening to me preach will be left behind when the rapture takes place my prayer tonight is that not one person listening to me would be lost my prayer is that all would be saved those that are present in the sanctuary of the lord those who are watching online and through modern technologies those that will listen to this through some social media format don't let one single person be lost in all of my preaching tonight i pray that you would help me to make the gospel clear and when the invitation is given i ask you to give people the faith and the courage and the humility to do what they ought to do and we ask it all in jesus name and all god's people said amen five end-time political agendas all out of revelation 13 number one if you're taking notes the bible prophesies there's coming a one world leader now one of the things that i must do as we move forward tonight is to give you the chronology of revelation 13 because in the natural reading of bible prophecy we need to understand the chronology let me give you just a thumbnail on the chronology of bible prophecy the next major prophetic event on the calendar of god is an event called the rapture of the church or the great catching up of the church but in the terms of theology it's often times and most frequently called the rapture but if you're a new believer you'll never find the word rapture in your bible it's a theological term i preached one time on the rapture and afterwards a man came up to the platform i could see he was very aggressive i could tell by the way he was coming i've never been smart enough to be afraid of anybody but i just kind of squared off and and figured whatever's going to happen is going to happen and then he got his bible and shook it in my face and said you're a heretic i said i am what would make you say that he said show me one place in my bible where the word rapture can be found now the first thing when somebody makes an accusation like that you realize you're dealing with people that have an iq smaller than the room temperature because people who interpret the bible as if it were all written in the english language have made a severe mistake original bible wasn't in the english the new testament was primarily in greek the old testament was primarily in hebrew and both of those languages are dead languages the hebrew that is spoken in parts of the world today is not the hebrew of the old testament and the greek that is spoken today is not the greek of the new testament they're both biblically dead languages we have a translation of the bible but i'm gracious they call me the diplomatic shuttle's worth and the rest of the family doesn't consider that a badge of honor but i feel like when you preach the gospel you should be gracious and especially if you're called to reach unsaved people nobody likes a jackass and i've met many preachers that are arrogant and mean spirited and preached from a high holy horse you should be gracious to people and so i was doing my best to be gracious to him so i said can i see your bible he handed it to me i mockingly to myself flip through the pages as if i was looking for something and then i handed it back i said i'll show you the word rapture in the bible if you'll show me the word bible in the bible did you figure it out the word bible's not in the bible i said do you believe in the bible yes i said well it's not in your bible the bible is nowhere to be found in the bible neither is the term trinity neither is the term rapture and we could go on down the line why do i point that out because i want you to understand that when you teach and preach on bible prophecy you need to carefully and lovingly explain to people that there are certain terms that are used in the world of theology to describe events that are not necessarily found in the english translation of the bible the word rapture is taken from the word rapio from the latin a man by the name of jerome in 400 a d a very famous scholar was the first one to translate from the original manuscripts to latin and referred to the catching up in first thessalonians 4 in the latin as rapio which is where we get the word rapture so in one quick thumbnail of a lesson there's where the word rapture comes from but yes if you're a new christian you'll not find the word rapture in your bible so if you want to call it the great catching up because the word being caught up is in the bible no skin off my nose i love you but the rapture is the next major prophetic event on the calendar of god now don't miss this the rapture is a signless event what do you mean it's a signless event there are no prophecies that speak specifically to the timing of the rapture it is in the world of eschatology called a signless event that's why the scripture says it will take place like a thief in the night that's why the bible says when you least expect it it's signless so all of the prophecies and this will help many of you all of the prophecies end time prophecies that are in the book of revelation are speaking to what happens after the rapture of the church so revelation 13 is taking place after the rapture of the church very very important i hope the lord has helped me to make that clear to you the passage that i read to you and the five political agendas that i'm going to close with take place in total evolution after the rapture and the reason why they can't take place until after the rapture is the apostle paul who wrote two letters to a new church in thessalonica first and second thessalonians in your bible he wrote to them and said there is something that hinders the arrival of this man of lawlessness and what hinders the arrival of the antichrist is the church of the lord jesus christ and jesus said in matthew chapter 16 one day he took his disciples on a hike they went to a place called caesarea philippi and then they started walking outside of the town of caesarea philippi and we know that jesus took them to a very infamous hill that hill was dark and cavernous and feared and nobody went near it the reason why nobody went near this very famous hill outside of caesarea philippi is because they believed it was the literal entrance into hell this dark cavernous cave at the base of the hill outside of caesarea philippi for generations upon generations the stories were that the devil and all demons went in and out of that cave at that hill it would be like sasquatch it would be like bigfoot it would be like vampire stories and so on no doubt all 12 of jesus disciples when they were little boys sitting at campfires with their dad and their uncles and telling stories the stories of the cave at caesarea philippi were told and passed through the generations but what we know is that jesus took his disciples to that very cave they must have had hair standing up on the back of their neck the closer he got to the cave but when jesus got near the entry of the cave he must have pointed to it and said what many of you have read out of matthew 16. he said gentlemen i'm going to build a church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it that literally was the colloquialism translated into matthew 16. gates of hell they believe the cave were the literal gates the entry the exit the entry of hell where satan and all demons went in and out of jesus said i'm going to build a church now when he said that there was no church there had never been a church the church had not yet been inaugurated here's another solid gold biblical point that every christian needs to understand especially in bible prophecy what is the church age because there had been no church prior to jesus prophesying that i often times refer to that in matthew 16 as the greatest prophecy of jesus i'm going to build a church and when i do the gates of hell will never prevail against it so we need to ask the question what's the church age the church age began in acts chapter 2 in the upper room the upper room was the inauguration of the official church age it was then that they were filled with the holy spirit and began to preach the gospel and within a handful of hours over 8 000 people were added to the church and from that day till this day jesus has been building a church and the devil's been fighting against it but he cannot stop it why because what jesus said in motion he said the gates of hell will never stop it the government will never stop it the democrats will never stop it the republicans will never stop it the liberals will never stop it the university professors will never stop it because we are the church of the lord jesus christ and bible prophecy says i'll build it until the church age ends when does the church age end at the rapture very very important if you're a bible believer to understand the church age it was prophesied by jesus in matthew 16 it was not inaugurated nor birthed until acts chapter 2 in the upper room it does not conclude until the rapture you're living in the church age and you are living if i might say so at 11 59 59 on the clock of prophecy we're going to get into this in a little deeper dig in just a moment but the reason why you're watching america evolve into something that you don't recognize is because of what i'm going to show you tonight out of revelation 13. the antichrist like a baby just moments from being born there's strain and there's pain but that antichrist cannot be revealed until the church is raptured now if you think by any chance that what i've said is just conspiracy theory go on the united nations website when you get home and look up the 2030 agenda and you'll see that on the united nations agenda for all to read is a 2030 agenda that basically in a nutshell has all five of the political agendas of revelation 13 outline the bottom line is they have stated that they want a one world government and a one world leader by 2030. one of the reasons why there is such an attack against the second amendment i mean who'd have thought you'd have lived in america long enough for a presidential candidate to point his bony finger into a camera and say i promise you i'm coming for your guns that's not a smart man i think i know why there might be a few head wounds after the rapture it's actually been miraculous that there hasn't been an uprising in this country with the assault of our freedoms that has been so blatant it goes to show you how patient many conservatives are and just because somebody forgot to take their medication in the morning and ends up in crime they'll use every single gun crime from now till jesus comes to further this progression to disarm this nation to weaken this nation and to get us in alliance with this one world government so five politicals of the last end time agenda number one there will be a one world leader where does the bible say that and again i've had people say i can't find one world leader in my bible well let me show it to you revelation 13 verses 7 and 8 and authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation and all who dwell on the earth will worship it that's the antichrist the first beast and everyone whose name had not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the lamb who was slain now if you have your bible in a highlighter highlight authority was given to the antichrist over every tribe every people every language every nation and all who dwell on the earth isn't it interesting that john the author of the book of revelation gives five categorical descriptions in one sentence for stark clarity to leave no doubt that this one world leader called the antichrist his leadership will be global his authority will be global it's almost as if the holy spirit knew that in the last days that there would be liberal theologians who would try to explain bible prophecy away and there are some but it's pretty hard to get rid of five categorical descriptions every tribe all people all languages every nation all who dwell on the earth that covers it all so by that we know it is a one world government based on this passage and others the bible foretells the soon arrival of a one world leader who will have a one world government number two a one world government a one world leader that's the antichrist a one world government where do we find that look at revelation 13 and 3 i saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery but the fatal wound was healed the whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast highlight the whole world once again the author john leaves no theological wiggle room a one world leader his authority is over all nations all tribes all people all who dwell on the earth and that one world leader will have a one world government the whole world gave allegiance that word allegiance in the original greek means that they are subservient to that one world global power so the bible is absolutely clear that there's going to be a one world leader there will be a one world government now i disagree with some theologians i don't think that you can dogmatically say that there won't be existence of other nations i think other nations may still exist as nations they may have some local authority but all authority will be globally globally submitted to i'll offer you just one quick opinion i offer few opinions when i preach but i offer this opinion from what i've learned from the scriptures i personally believe that what is going on in our country is being fed to this country by a one world government agenda i have no doubt in my mind because of summits that are being held openly that are on the news and have been on the news for years that global leaders and united nations leaders are getting together an agenda has been crafted and they are hand feeding it to politicians in this country who have sold their souls to the devil and they are not even speaking on their behalf they're reading off of teleprompters cards in their pockets they know not of what they say they are speaking words that have been put in their mouths and that's on both sides of the aisle number three a one world religion where does the bible show us a one world religion in revelation 13 verse 4. they worshipped the dragon for giving the beast such power they also worship the beast who is as great as the beast they exclaimed who is able to fight against him go down to verses 13 14. revelation 13 verses 13 and 14 he did astounding miracles even making fire flashed down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching and with all of the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast he deceived all the people who belonged to this world he ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast who was fatally wounded and then came back to life verse 15 he was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak and then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die it's a one world leader of a one world government who will require worship of all of the world very clear now notice that the bible said that he's going to create a statue of himself well that's not surprising nor is that shocking almost all dictators around the world historically have made great statues of themselves usually the original much larger than the replicates is put on a place of display wherever they're thrown or where their rule is and they have it there but they've always made hundreds of replicates to be placed all over the kingdom wherever they rule and dictate in recent months for the first time in my life as i watched a demonic frenzy and hatred unexplained of people ripping statues historic statues off of their pedestals i was sitting with my wife one night and it was the first time that i had seen it and the first time i saw because they said they were doing it for a certain reason but as time unfolded it had no common sense reason they began to violate all of the reasons they said they were tearing down statues and begin down tearing down statues of historic statues that had nothing to do with what they said they hated they even tore down statues of people that represented what they said they were tearing down statues for and as i watched it with my wife i told judy i said judy i said this is like a demonic frenzy because they were attacking those statues as if they were alive and people who had done them the worst of evil and perversion physically attacking them beating them i mean pieces of metal as if they were hurting them breaking them up shooting them lighting them on fire dragging them with vehicles throwing them in rivers on and on we've all saw it and the best i can explain it to you is it was almost like demonic frenzy and as i watched it because i've preached on prophecy for 40 years i thought my god is it possible that satan who is the power behind the scenes for the arrival of the one world leader the one world government and the one world religion is ripping historic statues off of their bases to make room for the ones that the antichrist will soon put in their place i'm not saying that is exactly what will happen i'm just saying it sure fits into revelation 13 and everything i know about bible prophecy let me read on number four a one world monetary system by the way those of you who wonder if they'll ever be a one world religion who'd have thought we'd have lived long enough to see the current pope contending for a one world religion think about it the highest religious leader in the world historically the pope traveling the world advocating for a one world religion advocating for lgbtq advocating for things that historically the catholic church would have nothing to do with who'd have thought you'd live long enough to see the pope advocating for one world religion and kanye west preaching the gospel we live in weird times number four a one world monetary system pay attention verse 16. he required everyone small and great rich and poor free and slave to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead and no one could buy or sell anything without that mark which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name so here we see that the antichrist is going to create a one world monetary system often times referred to as the mark of the beast i i feel i feel sad in a way if the lord tarries i hope one day i'll have more time to preach to you because so much of this needs explanation let me just carefully say i'm not being apologetic because i don't apologize for the preaching of the word let me just be humble and honest enough to say that i cannot do an exhaustive study of eschatology sunday night and monday night i think you all know that if i had my preferences i would like to preach one single night on all five of these i'm running through these i know i'm leaving a lot of meat on the bone but this is just a highlight this is a thumbnail but there is a one world monetary system that is in the making and as a matter of fact we already live with many models of one world monetary systems already at our fingertips for example paypal's been around forever i'm not anti-paypal i know christians i ain't using paypal i believe it's the devil it's the leading of the mark that's foolishness you're going to see many prototypes of technologies that will be used after the rapture that's why i spent some time trying to brand into your spirit tonight revelation 13 happens after the rapture none of these five political agendas will be fully functional until after the rapture but those of us who know bible prophecy and understand the authenticity of the scripture we see the stage being set without question mark it is just around the corner and i had someone that called our ministry and said i'm not going to support your minister anymore i noticed that you allow people to give with paypal and that perhaps is the mark of the basis i pray somehow we'll survive without your help but people get radical about foolish things you know what i tell people i'm sure a lot of satan's toys are being created and are on the planet today but as many of his toys as i can use to get the gospel to the ends of the earth i'm going to play with all his toys until he comes because i have no fear of the enemy i'm a part of a church that jesus said is going to be built and the gates of hell will not prevail against it so unless you're going to buy property off grid and dig a hole and bury a container and live in it with buckets of rice until the trumpet sounds and i have no intentions in doing that and it's foolish for you to do it we need to live wisely and intelligently with a functional knowledge as to what the bible teaches us so that's why you're seeing such an evolution in the monetary world if time would afford us to talk about bitcoin and the the european euro and the i mean it's just an endless list of economic changes that are taking place before ours it's almost like every other day there's something that comes up on my news feed but i know exactly where it's headed i saw just a couple of days ago before i flew here that the pentagon now has a chip that they would like to install into every american that has the ability to release anti-covid vaccines through computers based out of washington dc people ask me are you going to take the covid vaccine is that the mark no it's not the mark of the beast but we're watching a continuing evolution moving in the direction so slowly that by the time of the mark of the beast comes around it'll just be one more thing to get in line for i have no intentions of taking the vaccine if i don't have to and i'm not i'm not poo pooing anybody that took it if you took it that's between you and the lord it's a personal choice i've taken vaccines for 42 years i've preached in 56 countries of the world most of them third world countries almost every missions trip i've gone on i've had to take a vaccine or a shot or a series of shots to get in and out of countries i trust the lord for my health but as long as health officials are standing before microphones and telling me how harmless they are and then they drop over dead i'm probably going to wait a little bit i'm still young and healthy and don't get sick and i abide under the healing of the lord i've always trusted god for my healing i've been in villages in the arctic circle places you've seen on those videos the last village i was at they had just killed a whale and were celebrating and the whole time i was there we were eating whale lips we were eating raw whale blubber we were eating whale stomach we were eating whale intestines and they thought they were doing me a favor i've eaten stuff in foreign countries when they told me what it was i said don't tell me i don't even want to know what it is just serve it up and i'll pray one of the hardest passages in the bible is in luke where the bible says in ministry when you enter into somebody's home eat what they set before you with a heart of thanksgiving one of the hardest passages in all of the bible for me i've eaten stuff in foreign countries that i had a a time of serious prayer you know sometimes in america thank you jesus for our food amen god bless you pass the potatoes sweetie i've been in some countries and they've put it on the table dear jesus i come to you today in the mighty name of everything that's holy kill everything in that bowl by the mighty power of your hand if you can sanctify it please i beg of thee so i'm not afraid of a vaccine so i'll tell you what i told my board of trustees when they asked me i said listen i'm called as an evangelist i've been 42 years as a missionary and evangelist around the world unreached people if i have to take a vaccine to get into countries that god called me to preach then i'll take it just like i've taken them for 42 years and i'll still stand upon the word ye shall take any deadly thing and it shall not harm me i don't like it i don't like people telling me how to take care of my health i'm a little ticked off with all of the hypocrisy because they've been preaching for years it's your body and you can do what you want to do well somebody say behave lastly and i close with this there's going to be a one world military where in revelation do we see that verse 4 they worship the dragon for giving the beast such power they also worship the beast who is as great as the beast they exclaimed who is able to fight against him highlight that who is able to fight against him then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against god and he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for 42 months so we know that the antichrist will have some type of authority and power most likely military that will enforce his one world mandates because in the one world cashless society where you can't buy or sell without the mark on the hand or on the forehead the bible said those who refused to take the mark were beheaded it's going to get brutal now again remember this is after the rapture i gave you the chronology beginning with the great event called the rapture of the church that is the next major prophetic event on the calendar of god the rapture of the church immediately after the rapture of the church is a seven year window of time called the great tribulation that's seven years it'll be in three and a half year divided into two pieces the last three and a half years will be far worse than the first three and a half years the judgments of god outpoured during the great tribulation jesus said if god the father had not restrained the time none would survive we know from actual numbers in the book of revelation that based on current world population over 4 billion with a b over 4 billion people are going to be killed during the great tribulation there's not enough power in the world there's not enough nation national power allies of nations nations league together that can even bury the bodies of four billion plus people which is why there will be pestilences like there have never been before diseases like there have never been before the bible said that in the waters in the middle east in the battle of armageddon that the water will flow to the horse's bridle imagine the dramatic loss of life in that battle and i've been there on several occasions and if you've ever been to the valley of megiddo it's a small trek triangular area about 17 by 15 by 16 miles where the greatest war and loss of life and blood will ever be spilt by the military power of the antichrist and his global government but at the end of that seven years jesus said if god the father had not shortened the days none would survive christ himself will return in the second coming his feet the bible says will touch the mount of olives in jerusalem the mount of olives will split east and west and jesus will completely eliminate and conquer all of the one world establishment by the very words of his mouth and the splendor of his glory he'll come back with his saints if you're a brand new believer many times new believers get confused what's the difference between the rapture and the second coming of jesus christ think of the tribulation like seven books on a shelf because it's seven years long seven books on a shelf on the left side of those seven books is the rapture on the right side of those books is the second coming the rapture is christ coming for the church the bible says the dead in christ in first thessalonians will rise then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up to be with the lord in the clouds and so shall we ever be with the lord in the twinkling of an eye by the sounding of a trumpet we shall be taken and the bible tells me that when christ comes by rapture we will be taken with him but in the second coming we are coming back with him to rule and to reign for a thousand years called the great millennium after the millennium the final judgments and after the final judgments eternity again as one who teaches at a bible college from time to time to even begin to think that in two services sunday night monday night an hour each and my time is up i'm going to conclude but in two hours to be able to give you a scenario as to what's going to happen in the last days obviously all i can do is just begin to give you some understanding as something that you can live with on monday morning so if the only thing you learn in this essence don't miss it if you've paid attention tonight i have read the 18 verses of revelation 13 i have shared with you almost every gold nugget in those 18 verses that every primary student of the scripture should understand the revelation for the first time in the history of mankind of the unholy trinity satan the antichrist and the false prophet so now you know that end time political agendas in their nature are demonically inspired the closer we get to the rapture of the church for all of you who think that america is going to go back to the days of levitt to beaver and the innocence of the 50s you have not read the last book of the bible called revelation america is not going to return to her former glory tomorrow night i'm going to pick up where i've left off tonight and preach to you what will happen to america in the last days there are only three biblical possibilities for what will happen to our country but i am here to tell you if you've paid attention tonight now you understand modern politics in light of revelation 13 perhaps like you've never understood it before and now you understand why everything has taken such a incredible left turn in such a short amount of time who would have thought in america that socialists and marxists and communists are celebrated in the land of the red white and blue and god-fearing americans are treated as bastard citizens but that's where we've come to but i have good news my hope is not in the white house i'm not looking for the antichrist i'm looking for jesus christ i know in whom i have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he has promised unto that day whether you like it or not we're getting closer to a one world leader a one world government a one world monetary system a one world military and a one world religion that's why you're seeing all of the pressure in all five of those areas globally it's straight out of the pages of revelation and the bible is almost one-third prophecy the prophecies of the bible have never made a mistake they are 100 accurate it's what separates the bible from all religious books of all religions in all of the world is the bible alone is almost one-third prophetic and completely accurate i leave you with this tonight as a thought knowing that god has laid out a perfect plan of the last days and by the way somebody asked me about the great tribulation i know we don't use the word tribulation much in the 21st century but in the book of revelation when it speaks of the great tribulation it actually comes from the original root word that everybody in the first century would have understood because that root word referred to a massive stone that was at the center of most towns and villages that stone was used to pulverize their grains at harvest time into flour for cooking and baking and so on that's what the word tribulation in the book of revelation its root word comes from that stone the great tribulation will literally be the wrath of god grinding into fine powder all who have rebelled against his holiness and if you think god is just a teddy bear in heaven then i promise you that the scripture says he's not only a god of love but there is a line in the stand that is being drawn and the bible says one day the world is going to see for seven years the wrath of god like it has never been outpoured before if you think god is winking at all of the abortion in america i tell you you're wrong if you think god has turned his head at all of the ridiculous statements being made by politicians in this country you're wrong if you think god is not listening as professors and teachers are telling your children they can pick one of 32 genders by their own will and no parent or grandparent has the right to tell them different and god's letting that go by you're wrong the bible said the sins of the nations are being stored up before god for a day of judgment when the wrath of god will be outpoured upon all the ungodly that's the great tribulation but the bible says he saves his wrath for his enemies and so god by mercy is allowing the church one final opportunity to complete its mission and now you know why the devil has tried so hard to shut the mouth of the church and shut the doors of the church gone on to stand on platforms and said you can't even sing in church or worship because the pellets of your breath may kill somebody but the bars are open the big box stores are open planned parenthood is open abortion clinics are open lord help me to behave myself we're living in the last days i don't live with any fear i don't live with any anxiety because everywhere i go because i am a child of god and so are you the scripture says and he has given his angels to watch over you in all of your coming in in all of your going out and god takes good care of his children don't miss this my closing statement if you're a part of the church jesus said in matthew 16 what i will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it that word build from the original text and from the original greek literally means move forward and upward forward and upward throughout the age of the church the church that stays in proximity to the presence of god and to the integrity of the bible and doesn't back down on the great commission all who do that without fear and by faith you will move forward and upward all the days of your life and the lead horse in the parade of the last days is fulfilling the great commission we have a limited time to reach lost people we have a limited time to reach unreached people that's why i'll never retire i'm going to preach until the rapture takes place and if the rapture doesn't take place in the near future and god allows me to live i'll be preaching as long as i can draw breath because as long as there are unsafe people i have a mission you can retire from a secular job i have no problem with that the sooner the better as far as i'm concerned i pray god blesses you in the management of what he's put into your hands that you use carefully and wisely i hope you can retire and enjoy your life as much as possible but i don't have a secular job i've been called to a holy mission and you don't retire from a holy mission you don't retire from evangelism you don't retire from reaching the lost i will preach until the sound of the trumpet and i will encourage every church that god sends me to you'll move forward river church of columbus you'll move forward and you'll move upward until the rapture of the church as long as you keep the main thing the main thing and the main thing is the preaching of the gospel of jesus christ and winning men and women and boys and girls to jesus there's nothing more important to that and if you keep yourself connected to the great commission live a holy life and build your heart and your home upon the precepts of bible prophecy your future is as bright as the morning sun most people don't think of the book of proverbs as a book of prophecy and it's not it's a book of wisdom but there are a handful of prophecies in proverbs and one of the greatest is in the fourth chapter it says the path of the just that's us the path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day the perfect day is the rapture of the church jesus coming for his bride and the bible said we'll shine more and more jesus is building a church and the gates of hell are never going to prevail against it if you believe it and receive it stand to your feet and give the lord mighty praise hallelujah god praise god as musicians come every head bound every eye closed i never preach the gospel without giving people an opportunity to receive christ as i did this morning and we'll do now tell you what your clocks in georgia move fast that was the quickest hour i've ever seen go by but i thank you for your patience for the bible in a day in an age in which everybody wants everything in a sound bite i make no apology for opening the bible and taking some time to give you the meat of the word i think everyone with a certain level of intelligence knows that you can't take a subject like bible prophecy and give it in five-minute devotions i mean just reading revelation 1 through 18 out of that 13th chapter and giving fundamental explanation to the beast and the second beast and the dragon and the deception and the it takes just time to do that but i do want to humbly tell you i love you and appreciate you for inviting me to come and to preach the word and for such a wonderful attendance on a sunday night i know that's not your normal habit tomorrow night in our last service i'm going to pick right up where we left off i'm going to take you right back into the bible there are only three biblical possibilities for the future of america in these last days and again america by name is nowhere to be found in the bible but what happens to nations based upon choices that are made is in the bible and i promise with due diligence and proper scholarship i'll show you there are only three and the weight of scholarship in my opinion rests upon one but i'm going to be honest enough to tell you i'm going to present two other views that i don't necessarily agree with but again just out of humility and respect for other scholars i'm not a know-it-all there are people that have had far more education than i have not many have studied it for 40 decades but there are people that have much more education than i have not all of which agree but i do promise you you'll never hear me preach or teach anything that i won't take you right into the bible and show you exactly what the scripture says and how it should be properly interpreted just like i've done tonight i'm not one of those preachers that reads six words out of a verse and gives you 50 minutes of my commentary as you've seen i took you through 18 verses and then we spent the rest of the night peeling those verses apart and properly exegeting them to show you the five political agendas no conspiracy theory no youtube click bait with no content to follow straight bible preaching and i believe the word of god deserves time so i say that humbly but thank you for giving me an hour to teach tonight i'll probably teach an hour tomorrow night and the preliminaries will be brief we'll get right into the word of god i promise you if you bring someone that needs christ the gospel will be made clear just as we've made it clear tonight and we'll make it clear right now but can i ask you one last time do your best to get unsafe friends and family into these meetings those of you who watch our broadcast understanding bible prophecy with tiff shuttlesworth you know what i'm about to say as i often say at the end of the broadcast of what value is learning and understanding bible prophecy if all you do is intellectually ascend to the truth of the bible but you've never repented of sin and made peace with god you do not want to be the most intelligent student of bible prophecy that's left behind the purpose of prophecy it's not to scare us but to prepare us and if the only verse in the bible you learn while i'm here if the only fragment of bible prophecy you learn while i'm here is matthew 24 44 i'd be happy and matthew 24 and verse 44 says this be ye also ready for in such an hour as you think not the son of man cometh there in a nutshell is the absolute integrity of prophecy the purpose of prophecy is to keep us ready for the soon coming of jesus christ a couple of crusades ago in state college pennsylvania i was there for one two three four five six seven services on the last night a young girl came up to me the whole front row in that meeting was young kids with bibles they took my challenge to take notes and bring a bible and highlight i've never seen anything quite like it she came up to me on the last night and showed me her notebook she had taken 55 pages of notes in those services and i told her how proud i was of her and i said do me a favor email me your notes you had more notes on the subject than i had to preach out of but evidently i made an impression upon that young girl because she wrote me a beautiful email you know what she said in the email 12 years old 10 years old 10 years old 55 pages and i'm 10 years old she wrote me the most beautiful emails on my desk sometimes when i need motivation because of my schedule and feeling a little weary i keep stuff like that around to remind me why i do what i do and in that email she said all that she had learned but the email concluded she said the most important thing i learned while you were at our church on bible prophecy is that jesus didn't die on the cross to give us a religion he died on the cross to give us a relationship with god 10 years old 10 years old i read her email when i got down to that i i had my hank y'all wiping tears my eyes were getting to i couldn't read what she had written the most important thing i learned while you were here jesus didn't die on the cross to give us a religion he died on the cross to give us a right relationship with jesus christ i felt like i had done my job with her i want to do the same for you i'm not here just to preach and increase your prophecy iq i want you to see how close we are to the rapture of the church i want you to have a biblical understanding because i think many of you tonight when you go home if you've listened now when you watch the news and i don't encourage it but now when you watch the news you're going to know and see things through a different lens from now that jesus comes perhaps like never before the last email i read was from a lady in south africa and it basically said since listening to your teaching on bible prophecy for the first time in my life i no longer have fear about what's going on in the world or with covid or with our government or with the world because now i know that satan is not in charge god is in charge don't forget that don't forget that it might seem like satan is in charge he's just frustrated knows he's running out of time and the political angst that you see not only in our nation but around the world is a result of the fact that he knows he has no ability to speed prophecy up or to slow it down god the father is in charge so here's the grandiose question before we pray and dismiss what if the lord jesus by rapture were to come tonight [Music] because as i've already taught you the rapture is the next major prophetic event and it's signless there's nothing in the bible that has to be fulfilled for the rapture to take place i'm actually surprised it has not taken place already i've preached on prophecy for 40 years i never honestly felt that america would take the course that it's taken in recent years i never thought that would happen in this country i never ever dreamed that my grandkids would grow up in schools where they don't even know the difference between a boy and a girl and i could go on and on and we all know the frustrations of what's being spoon fed to our children our grandchildren our colleges and our universities but now you know why it's so anti-bible anti-god anti-christian values because the bible says that when they finally arrive that they'll not only blaspheme god they'll persecute and kill god's children now again that's after the rapture people will be saved during the tribulation but jesus said woe unto those that are saved during the tribulation because they'll be beheaded if they don't take the mark and all who take the mark the bible says in revelation 14 are eternally damned what a horrible outcome that's why you need to live ready every day to meet the lord because if you don't have faith to be consistent in living for jesus christ before the rapture where do you think you're going to come up with some supernatural faith to live for jesus during the tribulation first of all you won't the bible clearly teaches that all who had an opportunity to be saved before the rapture cannot be saved during the great tribulation a lot of people don't know that i open up a can of worms right there but it's in the bible maybe i'll take time to share that with you briefly tomorrow night no one who had an opportunity to be saved before the rapture will be saved after the rapture all who rejected christ who heard the gospel listen carefully notice i didn't say that no one will be saved during the tribulation the bible says a multitude that no man can number will be saved in the tribulation so listen very carefully to every word all who had an opportunity to be saved before the rapture but rejected it when the rapture takes place the bible says that god will send upon those people the deception of the antichrist and they will be judged for not believing and rejecting the truth you see the major problem in north america is people think they can get saved anytime they want to but you can't you can only be saved when god by the holy spirit speaks to your heart you can't schedule god in your apple calendar you can't tell god i'm going to get saved on easter it'll be special you can't tell god i'm going to wait till christmas i always wanted to get saved during christmas time john 15 16 says you've not chosen me but i've chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit salvation is not the day you choose god salvation is the day god chooses you by the conviction of the holy spirit and the bible in prophecy is very clear if you had an ample opportunity to be saved before the rapture but you rejected it and kept living an unholy life when the rapture takes place god will allow you to be overcome by the end time deception of the one world leader the one world government the one world religion the one world monetary system and you'll face the execution [Music] of the one world military i promise i'll open the bible tomorrow night and show that with you i'm only taking time now because i have people looking at me like this because i can tell some of you have never been taught that or heard that but it's in the bible i promise i'll take a few minutes before i preach tomorrow night to show you that in the scripture will that be all right [Music] here's my invitation by coming to this altar you're saying i want to live a christian life by coming to this altar you're saying i'm willing to repent of sin by coming to this altar you're saying i believe jesus christ alone died on the cross as god's only son for my salvation many of you that are listening to me tonight you're christians you've already made your commitment to christ but let me ask you a question if you listen to me preach a hundred times you'll probably hear me say this a hundred times do you have a clear distinct memory of a time in your life when you got on your knees in the presence of a holy god repented of your sins and asked jesus christ to come into your heart and be your personal lord and savior do you have a clear distinct memory of a time in your life when you've gotten on your knees in the presence of a holy god repented of your sins and asked jesus christ to be your lord and savior because you don't go to heaven because you're a good person you don't go to heaven because you go to church you don't go to heaven because you read a bible you don't go to heaven because you listen to christian music you don't go to heaven because you have christian friends and you hang out and do christian stuff there has to be a time in your life when you've repented of sin and received jesus christ as your lord and savior all of the young children listen to me for a moment don't have to be an adult to give your heart to jesus christ i gave my heart to jesus when i was six years old my dad was a pastor i grew up as a preacher's kid but i remember the night my dad had an evangelist at the church in mount morris pennsylvania his name was l kate dodge he's long gone home to be with the lord i don't remember what he preached one night but he made an invitation and he said god doesn't have any grandchildren and he said something like this he said your mother might be a wonderful christian my mother was on the piano on the platform as the pastor's wife your father might be a wonderful christian he said my dad was the pastor he was sitting back in those days all the pastors sat on the platform my dad was sitting there as the pastor of the church he said but just because your mother's a christian and just because your dad's a christian that doesn't mean you're a christian god doesn't have any grandchildren he only has sons and daughters [Music] and at the age of six it dawned on me now you know at six like i wasn't like in the mafia i wasn't dealing drugs i mean you know probably my worst sin at six was i ate too many snicker bars at halloween but i went forward at the age of six get on my knees and ask jesus christ to forgive me of my sin and be my lord and savior people have said through the years what kind of commitment can a six-year-old kid make i've lasted with that decision 56 years from the age of six and i was baptized in the holy spirit i believe in that same meeting but i never wandered away from god and this is not boasting on me this is boasting on the keeping power of the lord so everywhere i go i ask children if you're old enough to hear the bible to understand it and want to do it you're old enough to come to jesus give your heart to jesus at the earliest possible age but there are some of you with gray hair maybe you've never made your own personal public commitment to christ you're running out of time because you don't know when your next breath is none of us know our expiration date do we sadly when you read the obituary page it's not just elderly people in nursing homes it's teenagers from parties and bad accidents and babies that didn't survive a birth issue and on and on i want you to be ready to meet the lord god's done everything possible to meet the lord will you pray the sinner's prayer with me tonight they're going to sing a song of invitation and as they do if you've never made your own personal commitment to christ i'm going to ask you to meet me at an altar you can stand or kneel whichever is easiest for you years ago i'll never forget it i always used to ask people to kneel with me and i met a i heard a man i found out later he was a war veteran and he had shrapnel and this side of his leg and didn't have mobility of one of his legs and i heard this man speaking to the lady it was his mother that brought him mama i can't kneel when i heard him say mom i can't heal i thought it was something spiritual i didn't realize it was physical but after i met that that war hero from that day forward i was only in my 20s i got a little wiser that night i've never asked people to kneel if they can't kneel god will still forgive you you can pray standing up if you're so old that it takes too much strength to stand up they'll clear seats in the front and you can sit down on one of the seats in the front pray with me but i am going to ask you to do it publicly because that's the only example we have in the bible everybody jesus called he called publicly and he said if you confess me before men publicly i'll confess you before my father which is in heaven i don't know billy graham used to say there's something about doing it publicly that seals it and makes it sure christianist people begin together i'm going to ask you in every service as i do in every lost slam event if there's someone next to you a friend someone you've invited a visitor you don't know but if you're not sure if they've ever made their own commitment to christ will you just turn to them and say i'll walk with you not arrogantly but just kindly i'll walk with you we're going to come to this altar and we're going to make that commitment to christ from a sincere heart tonight when you go home and lay your head to the pillow some of you for the first time in your life will be able to lay your head to the pillow and know not think so not hope so but know if the rapture were to take place while i'm sleeping tonight i know i'm ready to go i made peace with god biblically that sunday night in columbus georgia you'll never forget it i'm going to kneel here and pray that god will give you the courage to do what you want to do those of you that have the courage to be the first ones to come and then we'll pray i need thee [Music] [Music] [Music] i [Music] i need thee oh i need thee if we are i need thee oh bless me now my savior i come to thee we're going to pray with these that are here and there are some that are still coming for every man that's here let me have some christian men come kneel beside them for every woman that's here let me have some christian women that will come and kneel beside them men with men women with women sometimes people ask me why do you do that are you legalistic no i'm not legalistic but the last thing some lady needs at an altar is some creepy man she doesn't know with her hands on her back so men with men women with women is that too straight for you folks in georgia we're going to pray with those that are at these altars and i'm going to ask you to pray this prayer out loud with me heart say heavenly father tonight as i was listening to the bible you were speaking to me the words of bible prophecy are very accurate you know exactly what happens [Music] and what will happen and my desire is to live every day ready to meet the lord tonight i recognize my sin and i'm willing to repent in childlike faith i turn my back on sin and i turn my heart to jesus with the blood you shed on the cross wash my mind my body and my spirit and make me holy in your eyes i receive salvation as the gift of god and the promise of the bible that all who call upon the name of the lord shall be saved tonight in jesus name i stand upon the promises of the lord and because of your great mercy tonight i'm saved tonight i'm delivered i'm healed i'll never be the same in place of my weakness fill me with the holy spirit and give me the power to live for you in jesus name amen and amen give the lord a mighty hand to praise [Applause] those of you that prayed that prayer with me listen carefully those of you that prayed that prayer with me this is not the end but just the beginning of what god's going to do with your life if you're watching online and perhaps the lord spoke to you wherever you may be watching listening and you made that prayer from your heart i want you to write me and let me know you can contact me our email is info lostlam.org info lostlam.org if you'll just write me and say tiff i prayed that prayer with you i meant business with god my office will send you some free literature if you need a bible let us know we'll send you a bible this ministry and the people who support this ministry believe in your decision to serve jesus christ and we're here 24 hours a day to help you at lostlam.org please pray for your family to be saved as well live your life in such a way that everyone who follows you will follow you all the way to heaven in jesus name thank you tonight for your time in the word tomorrow night what will happen to america in the last days can i ask you tomorrow when you have time will you pray and ask the lord to give you an opportunity to invite people please stop by the ministry table and pick up a lost lamb covenant if you're not familiar with it it's the same tool that billy graham used in all of his crusades he had the same thing a little different called operation andrew i've met i don't know how many people in my travels that were saved in billy graham crusades through operation andrew ours is very similar it's just called a lost lamb covenant there's a place for you to write down seven names if you want to write down more you can i had someone write me about four or five weeks ago that had multiples of these and they were up to 92 names of people that they had written down prayed for over the years who had come to the lord jesus christ as savior but start with your friends and your family and before you talk to people about jesus you need to talk to jesus about people people don't get saved because you try to shove a bible down their throat people get saved because the holy spirit deals with them only the holy spirit can convict people of sin and convince them of their need of christ it's very biblical and very important that in these last days the church began to pray specifically and persistently for our family pray for your family to be saved every son lift a hand to heaven every son every daughter every grandson every granddaughter in the name of jesus don't let any of them be left behind put a fire back in the belly of the church for world evangelism and reaching unreached people don't let us live in the last days as if everything is about us and our wants and our needs give us the eyes of jesus to see the less fortunate and the unreached use these covenants to add to this church daily such as should be saved in jesus name if you don't have a covenant stop by the ministry table they're free and they're designed so that they'll fit in your bible on the back you'll see three things pray invite bring pray tomorrow that god connects you with someone many of you have already been praying for your lost lamb covenants invite them to come tell them what i'm preaching on i think you'll find that a lot of people when they know you're preaching and teaching on bible prophecy would be interested what will happen to america in the last days and then this is very important make arrangements to pick them up and bring them the reason i say that is in studying billy graham's ministry a 50-year study of billy graham's crusades i think it's 87 percent of all of the people who were saved in a billy graham event were picked up by somebody and brought to the event not just invited 87 percent that were saved somebody went out of their way to say i'm not only going to invite you i'll pick you up let's get a coffee at starbucks or dunkin donuts on the way i'll pick you up what time would you like me to stop by get them to the house of god if they can't make it tomorrow night's service everybody say seven o'clock tomorrow seven o'clock if they have a work schedule say listen i can't make it till 7 30. that's fine anytime they can get here and we'll pray that god in this last service will give us a harvest of souls don't forget revelation 1 3 those who read the words of this prophecy to the church those who listen to them and obey them because the time is near god said there's a special blessing keep your ears and your eyes open in the days ahead for something supernatural to happen by the way tomorrow night i am going to pray for the sick on the last night uh that'll be at the very end there'll be a time after the altar time like now for people to be dismissed but i am going to take time to anoint with oil and pray for the sick so if there are individuals that need a touch in your body the same jesus who died on the cross for the salvation of our sins the bible said who forgives your sins and heals your diseases how many know we still serve a god of signs and wonders and miracles praise the lord all of that and it's not even nine o'clock at night how many can say it was wonderful to be in the house of god i have to make a confession to you if you saw me chucking chuckling earlier when i said thank you for uh giving me an hour of your time it dawned on me that you've had jonathan in meetings here several times and i thought what in the world am i apologizing for for taking an hour of their time he's just in point one and getting started after an hour but anyway no apologies for that either i love you and appreciate you pastor come dismiss your precious people we love you we'll see you tomorrow night have you been blessed get your hands to heaven right quick lord again we thank you for your word being proclaimed tonight thank you for what has happened into the hearts and souls of men and women father i i thank you that tomorrow night souls again will be saved and lord we're leaving this place tonight rejoicing for what you've done at this altar in jesus name and everybody said amen so let's leave rejoicing tonight see
