- 0:03This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
- 0:08Wofford, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland,
- 0:12County of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
- 0:16continues teaching through God's Word.
- 0:37There's something that I believe we need to understand today
- 0:40ourselves in regard to how is this fallen system affecting our
- 0:44own lives today? How connected are we to this
- 0:48world system, this fallen world? How much do we love the world?
- 0:52How much are we under its control even as Christians at
- 0:57times? And that's what I sort of want
- 0:58you to step back and maybe take a look at your own heart today,
- 1:02where you are with everything occurring in these last days.
- 1:06When I think of the future, I often imagine things like Star
- 1:09Trek or the Jetsons, but even as far as we've come with
- 1:13technology, it all seems so distant.
- 1:15I know we don't have flying cars yet, but if you think about it,
- 1:20everyone has a personal touch screen device in their hand.
- 1:23That's pretty wild. In today's message, Pastor Clark
- 1:27wants you to consider how far the world has already moved
- 1:31toward the prophecies of the Book of Revelation.
- 1:35Can you see how the world around you is primed for the Antichrist
- 1:40now? Here's Pastor Clark in
- 1:41Revelation chapter 18 with today's edition of Living Waters
- 1:46of Grace. We'll start our study Revelation
- 1:49chapter 18, verse one of chapter 18 through verse 8.
- 1:53That's what we'll try to cover today.
- 1:56After these things. I saw another Angel coming down
- 1:58from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was
- 2:02illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a
- 2:05loud voice, saying, Babylon the Great has fallen, has fallen,
- 2:09and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every
- 2:13foul spirit, a cage for every unclean and hated bird.
- 2:17For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
- 2:20fornication. The kings of the earth have
- 2:22committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth
- 2:25have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.
- 2:29And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come up not of
- 2:32her, my people, lest you share in her sins, unless you receive
- 2:36of her plagues. For her sins have reached to
- 2:39heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
- 2:41Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her
- 2:45double according to her works and the cup which she has mixed
- 2:49double for her in the measure that she glorified herself, and
- 2:53live luxuriously. In the same measure give her
- 2:56torment and sorrow, for she says in her heart, I sit as a queen
- 3:01and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.
- 3:04Therefore her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning
- 3:08and famine, and she will be utterly burned with fire, for
- 3:12strong as the Lord God who judges her.
- 3:16This is describing the fall of Babylon, Babylon the Great.
- 3:21Now, when you think about Babylon, there's a lot of
- 3:23different positions as you study commentaries regarding what is
- 3:26this place called Babylon. Some people believe it's the
- 3:30modern city of Rome today. Some people believe it's going
- 3:34to be a rekindled, redeveloped, spectacular nation that will one
- 3:37day be reestablished on the face of the earth.
- 3:40I seem to believe, along with some other commentators that I
- 3:43enjoy their their teaching is that when we look at chapter 17,
- 3:47we're studying about a system of false ecclesiology, meaning a
- 3:50false religious system. And in chapter 18, we're
- 3:53studying about the commercial business, commerce power of this
- 3:58entity, which is the one world government under the one world
- 4:01banking, one world financial system.
- 4:04And so we're the day reading about this eventual destruction
- 4:07of the city. And whenever we teach the Book
- 4:10of Revelation, I find that it's real easy to look at things from
- 4:14a futuristic point of view and not think about where we are
- 4:17today as believers, followers of Christ.
- 4:20It's real easy to, as I said in the past, to study this book and
- 4:23say, boy, these poor people, they're going to be left here
- 4:25during the tribulation. I'm glad I'm not going to be
- 4:27there and I'm glad I'm not going to have to deal with this stuff.
- 4:30But there's something that I, I believe we need to understand
- 4:33today ourselves in regard to how is this fallen system affecting
- 4:37our own lives today? How connected are we to this
- 4:41world system, this fallen world? How much do we love the world?
- 4:45How much are we under its control even as Christians at
- 4:50times? And that's what I sort of want
- 4:51you to step back and maybe take a look at your own heart today,
- 4:55where you are with everything occurring in these last days.
- 4:58Now when we think about this world system, it begins to give
- 5:02us some understanding of light. In Ephesians chapter 2 talks
- 5:06about where we all once were before we came to know Jesus
- 5:10Christ. It says verse one and you hath
- 5:13he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins at one time.
- 5:16Every one of us here today, we're dead to God, dead to
- 5:20Christ. Even though we're walking around
- 5:22physically and we're enjoying our lives and whatever extent
- 5:25that we're living in them at the present time, there was a time
- 5:28for all of us that we didn't think anything about God, let
- 5:31alone Jesus Christ of the Holy Spirit, that it wasn't on our
- 5:34radar screen, right? We didn't give the the Holy
- 5:37Trinity any respect or any kind of worship.
- 5:40We basically worshipped ourselves.
- 5:42And it also talks about that in Romans chapter 1, but it says
- 5:47that this is where we all once were.
- 5:48It says in which in verse 2 you once walked according to the
- 5:52course of this world, according to the Prince of the power of
- 5:54the air, the Spirit who now works in the sons of
- 5:57disobedience. So at one time in our life, and
- 6:00I remember in my own life, I mean, I didn't come to know
- 6:02Christ until I was about 20. But there was a period in my
- 6:07life, and also even after I became a Christian, that I was
- 6:11very, very influenced by what the world was dictating to me
- 6:15regarding success, security, materialism, all the things that
- 6:21we all get caught up in. And at one time, though, before
- 6:24I knew Christ, I couldn't do anything but walk according to
- 6:27the course of this world. I was under the influence of
- 6:29Satan, as you were. I was in darkness.
- 6:32I didn't understand that there was a Kingdom of God.
- 6:35I didn't understand that I was a Sinner.
- 6:37I didn't understand that I was lost.
- 6:39I was just heading down the road to destruction without any kind
- 6:42of insight into another world existing.
- 6:46And it says in verse three, among whom also, and you might
- 6:50want to underline this in the Bible, it says we all once
- 6:53conducted ourselves in the lusts of the flesh, lusts of our
- 6:56flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind.
- 6:59And we're by nature the children of wrath just as others.
- 7:03So all of us, and this is your kids today, unless they've come
- 7:07to Christ, perhaps your spouses, your brothers, your sisters,
- 7:11anybody that is without Christ is walking according to the
- 7:15course of this world. They're under the influence of
- 7:18the devil and they're on their way to a crisis eternity.
- 7:21And if the end times are coming up soon, these will be the folks
- 7:25that will be left on the face of the earth to have to deal with
- 7:28the horrendous outpouring of the wrath of the evil 1, the
- 7:32Antichrist, Satan himself. But there was this time in your
- 7:35life in mind that all we were thinking about was fulfilling
- 7:39what my body told me it was good for me or what my mind activated
- 7:44me to think of. You know, let's commit this sin.
- 7:47Let's get involved in this kind of sorted activity, blow my
- 7:50money on these foolish things or whatever it was.
- 7:54It's different for all of us. Now, I'm probably, and I don't
- 7:56say this out of any kind of sense of pride or ego, but I'm
- 8:00probably the worst Sinner in this place.
- 8:02And the apostle Paul said that he is the chief of all sinners.
- 8:06So I can't claim that, but I'll tell you, I've done some wicked
- 8:09things in my life. If it wasn't for the grace and
- 8:11the mercy of God, I would be in big, big trouble.
- 8:14And God's mercy endures forever. No matter how bad or how wicked
- 8:19we have been or what we've done in our past, the cross and the
- 8:22blood of Jesus Christ is there for every one of us all the
- 8:26time, to forgive us and to transform us and to make us into
- 8:29new people. To change our lives, to change
- 8:32our conduct, our behavior, the way we think, the way we act,
- 8:35the way we treat others, our priorities, our goals, our
- 8:38desires, our dreams, our ambitions.
- 8:40Everything begins to change when we're brought into the Kingdom
- 8:44of God. But some of you here today might
- 8:47not have committed really horrible sins.
- 8:49You might look at your life and you say, well, I'm really not
- 8:51that bad or I never really did some of the things perhaps that
- 8:54Clark did or some other people I've met that give their
- 8:57testimonies, well, that doesn't take you off the hook because
- 9:00the Bible says that if we've committed one sin, we're guilty
- 9:03of them all. That's hard to swallow for proud
- 9:06people. A lot of people less times will
- 9:08look and say, well, I never did this.
- 9:10I'm better than that. And so, you know God will accept
- 9:12me because I wasn't as evil as this person.
- 9:15Well, the Bible says for all of sin and falling short of the
- 9:18glory of God. So there's not one of us in here
- 9:20today. No matter the minimum amount of
- 9:21sin you committed or the maximum amount of sin you committed,
- 9:24we're all in the same position, guilty before holy God.
- 9:28So this is the picture though, of the world system today.
- 9:31This is the picture of the spiritual Babylon, where the
- 9:35world today is under the influence of the devil, and the
- 9:38only thing that prevents it from being really, really bad is the
- 9:42presence of the church and the body of Christ on the face of
- 9:44the earth. Today.
- 9:45We're still salt, we're still light, and we still have an
- 9:49impact. And whenever the church is
- 9:50pulled out prior to the beginning of the tribulation at
- 9:53the rapture, literally all hell will break loose.
- 9:56And you think things are dark and bad now.
- 9:58You have no idea what they're going to be like after the
- 10:01church is no longer on the face of the earth.
- 10:03It also tells us in the book of first John regarding this world
- 10:07system. And chapter 2 verse 15 says do
- 10:10not love the world nor the things that are in the world.
- 10:14If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in
- 10:17Him. Now I've had discussions with
- 10:19people sometimes. Does that mean that I can't like
- 10:22creation and I can't like nature and and the things that God's
- 10:25made? No, that that isn't talking
- 10:26about, that the world system is what the apostle John is
- 10:31speaking about here. If anyone loves this world, in
- 10:34other words, the passion of your life is in everything that is
- 10:38represented by the world, greed and materialism and lust and
- 10:43idolatry, then you're connected with loving the world.
- 10:46And John is saying that if you love the world, God's love isn't
- 10:49in you. For all that is in the world,
- 10:52the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
- 10:55life is not of the Father, but is of the world.
- 10:58And the world is passing away and the lust of it.
- 11:00But he who does the will of God abides forever.
- 11:02So we're studying a revelation today about this present world
- 11:06system that's one day going to be destroyed and completely
- 11:09obliterated. And degree of how you see it and
- 11:12how you understand it. Today there will be a new heaven
- 11:14and a new earth that God will create at the end of time.
- 11:17But the world is getting darker. And unfortunately, because you
- 11:21and I are still living in this world, we are bombarded and
- 11:26attacked by the world every day. Jesus says it's the cares of the
- 11:29world, The deceitfulness of riches and the lust are the
- 11:32things that choke his word out in our hearts and cause us to be
- 11:36unfruitful. Now the cares of the world, am I
- 11:38going to have enough food? Am I going to have enough money
- 11:41to pay my bills? Am I going to have heat to heat
- 11:44my house? These are all practical
- 11:45considerations of of us as human beings that we need these things
- 11:49to survive. You know, is the Social Security
- 11:51going to be there? Is there going to be enough
- 11:53money, money in the bank to put my kids through college or, you
- 11:56know, the cares of the world, It ties us up, you know, am I going
- 11:59to have enough money to pay my mortgage?
- 12:01And so many today are not having the funds necessary to pay their
- 12:04mortgages. You know, can I get a bigger
- 12:06house and have a bigger mortgage or can I get a better car and
- 12:09drive? You know, there's not one of us
- 12:11in here that aren't affected by those kind of emotions.
- 12:14And we have to be real careful because God trusts us with his
- 12:18resources. Many of us have been blessed
- 12:20beyond what we could ever imagine in this life, living in
- 12:23this this country and the freedom and the economic system
- 12:26that the free enterprise and the capital environments that have
- 12:29enabled the United States of America to thrive as a nation
- 12:32and a country in this world to be prospering.
- 12:35Yet everything that God trusts you with and trust me with is a
- 12:40gift. It's not a right.
- 12:43It's not something that I'm entitled to.
- 12:46It's the grace of God. And so as I live in this world
- 12:50and as you live in this world, what am I to do with what it is
- 12:53that God entrusts me with? And that's where you and I have
- 12:56to talk honestly with God about what it is we have and how we
- 13:01use what He gives us, either for ourselves and our own sense of
- 13:05greed or our sense of His love and His Kingdom and for the sake
- 13:09of others. We're all struggling with that
- 13:11to some degree or another. All of us.
- 13:14The more I allow the world to take control of my heart and
- 13:17obsess my mind, the less room I have for God and others.
- 13:21And I've experienced that in my life when I've been full of
- 13:23myself and what I want and what I think I need and my
- 13:27possessions and my rights. I don't have time for anybody
- 13:30but me, myself and I, which is the unholy Trinity.
- 13:34So John is speaking in Revelation and in this epistle
- 13:38about the danger of this present world system.
- 13:41And then the the lust of the flesh is a whole nother
- 13:45dimension of this world system. And I can't help but to speak on
- 13:48this periodically through this book because this comes up and
- 13:51the text is like everything that is on TV that is being
- 13:55advertised to make you want, it is the lust of the flesh to make
- 14:00you not satisfied with what it is that God has enabled you to
- 14:04have. I get a kick out of these
- 14:06commercials. You know, there's nothing wrong
- 14:08with driving a Lexus or whatever.
- 14:09If God enables you to provide, you know, you make the money and
- 14:13you can, you know, everything's proportional.
- 14:14If you're making 10,000 a year, you're not going to drive a
- 14:16Lexus, right? If God has blessed you to make a
- 14:18half a million a year, you can drive a Lexus.
- 14:21And some people might think, well, why are they driving a
- 14:22Lexus? Well, proportionally to their
- 14:24income, it's not a big deal, right?
- 14:25But if you're driving a Lexus and you're only making 30,000 a
- 14:28year and that's all you got to pay, say it's any money you
- 14:31have, all your money is going to pay for some stupid car payment.
- 14:34You've gotten hooked by the lust of the flesh.
- 14:37But everything is in the sense of God's Providence and what he
- 14:40allows us to do with our resources.
- 14:43In the Old Testament, he said, I'm going to give you 90%.
- 14:46You just give me 10%. That's a deal, right?
- 14:50When God gives you everything and he says I'm going to let you
- 14:53have 90 and all I'm asking you to do is, you know, give me 10%.
- 14:56I mean that who would ever run into someone and says, I'm going
- 14:59to give you everything that I have and bless you with it, and
- 15:01I'm just asking for a 10% return on my investment In the New
- 15:05Testament, we don't see the numbers set up like that.
- 15:08It's even more intense where God says everything you have is
- 15:11mine. And so it isn't like, well, you
- 15:13know, if I give 10%, then that that's enough God.
- 15:16But you know, in the New Testament under grace, it's
- 15:18like, I just want to, you know, abundantly pour out what God's
- 15:21bless me with for the sake of others and for the sake of his
- 15:25Kingdom. So hopefully we're none of us
- 15:27are thinking how stingy we can be with the goodness of God, but
- 15:30how abundant can we be because God has been so merciful and
- 15:34abundant with us. But the lust of the flesh.
- 15:36And so these commercials, have you seen them?
- 15:38Nice looking couple come out, beautiful house.
- 15:41The car, this thing is wrapped and like beautiful, you know,
- 15:44Christmas wrapping. They pull it apart and it's a
- 15:46Lexus, a red Lexus or a black like, you know, such a small
- 15:50percentage of our population can afford that, but they know what
- 15:53they're doing. I might not be able to get a
- 15:54Lexus, but maybe I can get a, a Honda, Toyota, Buick, you know,
- 15:58Chrysler, doesn't matter. You know, I would get something
- 16:00that is newer or better or brighter or shinier.
- 16:03And so it just causes us to lust.
- 16:05Maybe we see the woman on TV and the guy will say, well, why
- 16:09can't I have a wife like that? Or the wife will say, why can't
- 16:12I have a husband like that? The constant dissatisfaction
- 16:15with what God has allowed us to have as a blessing.
- 16:19And then the pride of life. Many people are interested in
- 16:23looking good in the eyes of other people.
- 16:25And so everything they do in life is to impress other people.
- 16:29Whatever it is they buy or how they live or how they dress,
- 16:32It's all designed to say, look at me, aren't I great?
- 16:35You know, I have this, I have that, you don't, too bad for
- 16:38you. That kind of thing, The pride of
- 16:40life. And so all these things are
- 16:42influencing the culture and also the church.
- 16:46The world is in the church today more than the church, which is
- 16:49in the world, if you get my drift, Right.
- 16:51We are being more impacted today as believers in evangelical
- 16:55communities by what the world says as opposed to what the word
- 16:59of God says. And so John is addressing these
- 17:02things in this 18th chapter of Revelation.
- 17:05And it's really serious because as I study this and prepare to
- 17:09teach on it, I have to say to my own heart, OK, he's talking
- 17:12about Babylon. How affected am I by Babylon,
- 17:15this world system? How am I being influenced by
- 17:18this false political commercial system that one day is going to
- 17:23be completely destroyed? And so as John is talking about
- 17:27chapter 17, he goes into verse 18 and he says, I see another
- 17:31Angel coming down from heaven. This Angel has great authority
- 17:35and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
- 17:38So this Angel, I don't know who it was.
- 17:39Could it be Gabriel or Michael, the highest created archangels?
- 17:43I don't know. The scriptures doesn't give any
- 17:45detail to who they were, but whoever they were, they had such
- 17:48an anointing on them that when they came, the brightness of
- 17:51their position and authority illuminated the whole earth.
- 17:55The Trinity allowed this Angel to manifest the brightness of
- 17:59the glory in the Kingdom of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- 18:02And this Angel cries in verse 2 mightily with a loud voice
- 18:05saying Babylon the Great is fallen, is fallen, and has
- 18:09become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul
- 18:13spirit, a cage for every unclean and hated bird.
- 18:18One day the financial markets will crash.
- 18:22None of us want to see that, especially those of us who have
- 18:25our retirement tied up in that stuff.
- 18:27But someday they will crash. I had a dream last night and it
- 18:31was weird, you know, I'm seeing the Dow Jones industrial
- 18:34numbers, you see in the financial News Network and the
- 18:37tapes and the numbers, everything, the electronic
- 18:39boards. And I'm seeing everything go
- 18:41from here to 0. Everything from here to 0.
- 18:46Can you imagine the worth of this whole earth in one day
- 18:50being brought to nothing? There was an old song back in
- 18:52the Jesus movement days when I first became a believer.
- 18:56The song I wish would all been ready.
- 18:58Remember that there's no time to change your mind.
- 19:01The sun has come and you've been left behind.
- 19:03It says a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold.
- 19:07I wish we'd all been ready. One day gold will be worthless.
- 19:10Everybody's saying what commodities are the way to go,
- 19:12and maybe temporarily they are. You have to be an astute and
- 19:15wise investor to know how to to take care of the money that God
- 19:19has given you. You don't waste it and squander
- 19:22it or hot it in a hole and hope it'll bring forth some kind of
- 19:24return. You have to be a good steward
- 19:26with what God trusts you with. But as much as we put confidence
- 19:30in the commodity market, in the growth of copper, silver or
- 19:33gold, one day there will come a time, and I'm not saying it's
- 19:36tomorrow or next week or next month or next year, but it is
- 19:39clear in Revelation at one day these markets and the plagues
- 19:44will come. In verse 8, it says in one day
- 19:47death and mourning and famine. And it says in verse 9 that the
- 19:50kings of the earth who committed all the fornication, the people
- 19:54that this completely ignored the throne of God live the way they
- 19:58want. Says they live luxuriously with
- 20:00her will weep and lament for her when they see the smoke of her
- 20:03burning. So all the people left on the
- 20:05face of the earth at this time will look at all the things they
- 20:08trusted in, all the things they were excited about, all the
- 20:11things they had their hope in and their their energy in and
- 20:14they're going to see it completely be decimated in.
- 20:18In a moment of time. And so this voice of judgement
- 20:21from the Angel coming and warning the people about the
- 20:26impending doom that's going to come upon the face of the earth.
- 20:29And I don't know if you watch the headlines every day I get up
- 20:32and I put CNN on and I want to see if the world is still here,
- 20:36You know, is this is it over? And I look and I see this
- 20:41morning that North Korea and South Korea are getting closer
- 20:44and closer to a major conflict. So much to China right now is
- 20:48involved in urgently, it says urgently wanting to appeal to
- 20:53their potential conflict here. Now, China is usually the most
- 20:56non committal nation of anybody in the world.
- 20:58They sort of stay out of everything.
- 21:00Meanwhile, they keep making all our stuff, right.
- 21:02They're getting richer and richer.
- 21:04Our jobs are being transported all around the world.
- 21:06So Americans don't have the ability to make a decent
- 21:09livelihood anymore in a lot of cases.
- 21:11I mean, they got the best of all worlds.
- 21:12But what's happening right now? And I watched the last week,
- 21:16whenever the the attack initially started from North
- 21:19Korea, it affected the market significantly.
- 21:22Right now we look in Europe, we have Ireland that's having
- 21:25problems with their finances and they're looking for a bailout.
- 21:29Portugal's next. And next to Spain, the contagion
- 21:32is basically unlimited. They can't stop it.
- 21:35Everybody's acting like it can stop it, but they really can't.
- 21:37So what's amazing, what's exciting, what's, what's
- 21:40depressing in a way is that we're all going to be like
- 21:42affected by this stuff. But what's exciting in a way is,
- 21:45is that look up your redemption draws nod.
- 21:47Because the more we see these things coming together and the
- 21:50greater the intensity and the greater the instability of the
- 21:53world system, the more we realize that the Lord is pulling
- 21:56all these things together for His second coming.
- 21:59And so as we look at these things in this particular book,
- 22:02John is describing this potential eventual destruction
- 22:06of spiritual and financial Babylon and this world system.
- 22:11It's organized by the Antichrist.
- 22:13Now it says in Ephesians 2 that this world that we live in, the
- 22:17Prince of the power of the air, Satan himself is the one that's
- 22:20influencing and controlling everything.
- 22:22He's not physically present yet in the form of a human being,
- 22:26the Antichrist. But one day there will be
- 22:28someone who will walk around filled with the presence of
- 22:32Satan and in the flesh, and that will be the day that the
- 22:35Antichrist will be ruling and reigning on the face of the
- 22:38earth. Now this chapter 18 though, is
- 22:41moving up toward the end of the Tribulation the last 3 1/2
- 22:45years, and so will continue to hear.
- 22:48He's crying out, warning everybody that's on the face of
- 22:52the earth as to the impending doom.
- 22:54A dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, a
- 22:59cage for every unclean and hated bird.
- 23:01The Gospels tell us that the birds represent those who come
- 23:05and take the Word of God when it's planted in the heart, and
- 23:08come and take the seed when it was planted and take it away.
- 23:12So it can't take root in the heart of the hear the voice of
- 23:16God's judgment through this Angel in spite of the darkness
- 23:20and this last day of the tribulation, God's glory is
- 23:24going to shine, because the Angel illuminates the earth with
- 23:28his glory, so the darkness can't ever outshine the light.
- 23:32And it talks about this judgment.
- 23:35It says the nations have drunk of the wine for the wrath of her
- 23:38fornication. The kings of the earth have
- 23:40committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth
- 23:42have become rich to the abundance of her luxury.
- 23:49In the Book of Revelation, Pastor Clark is taking us
- 23:52through all kinds of events and happenings that are predicted
- 23:55for the future. But for those who believe and
- 23:58follow Jesus, there's much to look forward to in heaven with
- 24:02Jesus. However, for those who are here
- 24:05on earth during the Tribulation, there's all kinds of chaos that
- 24:09will unfold. The Bible talks about an
- 24:12Antichrist, false prophet, and of course that evil enemy Satan.
- 24:18Do you see how there are such clever attempts for the enemy to
- 24:21disguise himself as God and even the Trinity?
- 24:25The true Savior of the world is God and how he comes to rescue
- 24:29through his triune nature, God the Father, Jesus the Son, and
- 24:34God the Holy Spirit. Just like Satan tried to take
- 24:39over for God in heaven and was cast out, Satan will try to
- 24:43convince people on earth that he is the triune God to be
- 24:47worshipped instead of the legitimate God in heaven.
- 24:50It's an attempt, and although he will capture plenty in his
- 24:54schemes, he will not win. The true God wins, and
- 24:59Revelation unpacks how that will all happen in detail.
- 25:03Be encouraged because there's a way out for all of this madness
- 25:07that will ensue on this earth. But you don't want to wait
- 25:11indefinitely to make that decision about Jesus.
- 25:15We don't know when the church will be raptured, and you want
- 25:18to be ready to be with Jesus. To learn more about this, head
