- Welcome to the final chapter
of the of The Days of Noah.

I'm your host Jeff Reich.

Noah gave his last
solemn appeal to the

people as they
stood before the ark.

And at that time, their
decisions were sealed.

Since 1844, the
message of Noah has been

repeated by the
three angel's messages

which will continue to
grow as they proclaim

their final appeal.

There's not much
time left before the

Mark of the Beast crisis
will break upon the world

and will bring all to a
point of decision.

To accept or reject the
invitation into the ark

of the everlasting covenant.

The purpose of this crisis is
to try the character of men.

To see whether selfishness
or the selfless love of God

reigns in the heart.

The crisis will not
develop the faith of any,

but will reveal whether
or not there's any

abiding trust in
the promises of God.

And after the warnings
have been given

and the last heartfelt
plea to enter into

the Ark of the everlasting
covenant is finished,

the door of salvation will close

just as it did in
the Days of Noah.

After the Close of Probation,

the seven last plagues
will be poured out

on the rejecters of Gods mercy.

And when these
plagues are finished,

Jesus will come again.

The second coming of
Christ is the culmination

of the Christians hope.

But few understand
how to be ready.

For Jesus will not
return this time

veiled in the
weakness of humanity.

He'll come in the power
and the glory of God

as a consuming fire.

- [Narrator] "The day
of the Lord will come

"as a thief of the night
in which the heavens

shall pass away
with a great noise."

And the elements shall
melt with a fervent heat.

And the heavens being on
fire, shall be dissolved.

A fire goeth before Him

and burneth up His
enemies round about.

The hills melted like wax at the

presence of the Lord.

At the presence of the
Lord of the whole earth,

the fishes of the sea, and
the fowls of the heaven,

and the beasts of the field,

and all creeping things
that creep upon the earth,

and all the men that are
upon the face of the earth

shall shake at my presence.

And the mountains
shall be thrown down,

and the steep places shall fall,

and every wall shall
fall to the ground.

All the cities thereof
were broken down

at the presence of the Lord.

The earth is
utterly broken down,

the earth is clean dissolved,

the earth is moved exceedingly,

the earth shall reel to
and fro like a drunkard

and shall be removed
like a cottage.

Our God shall come and
shall not keep silence.

A fire shall devour before Him

and it shall be very
tempestuous round about Him.

The mountains quake at
Him and the hills melt,

and the earth is
burned at His presence.

Yea the world and all
that dwell therein."

(slow paced music)

- The mission of the three
angel's messages

is to prepare
people to stand in the

presence of Jesus at His coming.

And the third angel's message
makes a solemn announcement

regarding those who
are not prepared.

- [Narrator] "He shall
be tormented with fire

and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels,

and in the
presence of the Lamb."

[Doug] It's really
an invitation.

Not just to escape Babylon,

but it's an invitation to
come into God's presence.

It's like not only
avoid the flood,

but come into the ark.

- God will have a people

prepared to stand
in His presence.

And they will understand the
nature of the consuming fire

and so must we.

For when we understand
this, we will know how

to be prepared to meet him.
(fire crackling)

(light gentle music)

[Ivor] When you look at the
kingdom of heaven,

when you look at God's throne,

the Bible says that
His throne, in Daniel 7

was like "A fiery flame, and
His wheels as burning fire."

- If you go back to
the original story

of the fall of Lucifer,

the Bible says, He walked
amongst the fiery stones.

- In Hebrews, the
Bible says that

His angels are
ministering flames.

- Those that will be
redeemed will stand one day

on the "sea of glass
mingled with fire."

- Jeremiah says, "Was not His
word like a fire in my bones."

And then the Bible tells
us in Deuteronomy 33,

From Gods hand went
forth "a fiery law."

[Walter] You look at just
purely on what the Bible says,

it says that "God is a
consuming fire."

[Ivor] Daniel says, "A fiery
stream issued

"and came forth from Him."

So what you have
here is this being

of fire.

- So God is fire.

- What you have
here is this picture

that Heaven is filled
with fire as it were.

Most people think
of a place of fire,

they're thinking hell.

Why does God
manifest Himself as fire?

Why is He surrounded
by so much fire?

The Bible tells us in
the book Song of Solomon

that love is like a flame.

[Narrator] "For love
is strong as death;

jealousy is cruel as the grave:

the coals thereof
are coals of fire,

which hath a most
vehement flame.

Many waters cannot quench love,

neither can the
floods drown it."

[Ivor] Fire is a symbol of love.

So it's not that God is
trying to scare people

or scare us.

It's that He
manifests Himself as fire

because fire is
heaven's symbol of love.

God wants us to be able
to dwell in His presence,

but because we have sinned,

we have become
fearful of that fire.

- Sin is a combustible material.

And sin cannot exist in
the presence of a holy God.

- In our sinful condition,
if we appear before God,

we would be
extinguished in an instant.

- So the whole purpose
is, how can I get man

to again stand in my presence

without being destroyed,
without being consumed?

- Well cover to cover,
the Bible tells a story

of a heavenly Father who's been
separated from His children

and who longs to be
reunited with them.

There's one illustration
above all others

that shows us the
process by which God

will prepare people
to dwell with Him.

And that is the sanctuary.

For this is the very
reason it was given.

[Narrator] "And let
them make me a sanctuary,

"that I may dwell among them."

[Ivor] The purpose of the
sanctuary was

to instruct man of what
his condition must be

in order for God to
dwell with them.

God wants to dwell
in His people.

But He cannot dwell in them

while they hold onto sin.

- If you give up your sin.

And you place it on the only one

who is able to remove your sin.

Well then you
can continue to live

because He's not a
destroyer of humans,

He's a destroyer of sin.

- God ultimately doesn't
want to consume us,

He wants to consume
sin, but not us.

(fire crackling)

[Dave] In the sanctuary,
interestingly enough,

is God's plan and His system

for doing away with sin.

[Ivor] He separates sin
from the individual

and He can focus on
destroying the sin.

That's a purpose.

When the children
of Israel were being

led out of Egyptian captivity,

you find the process
of the sanctuary

leading them from captivity,

preparing them to enter
into the Promised Land.

Moses commanded
the children of Israel

to sacrifice a lamb.

Which would point us to
the altar of sacrifice.

[Doug] After the children
of Israel sacrificed the lamb,

then they came to the Red Sea.

Paul tells us in 1st
Corinthians 10

that represents baptism.

- Which points us to the laver,

the next article of furniture.

[Narrator] "All passed
through the sea,

and were all baptized unto Moses

in the cloud and in the sea."

[Doug] We need to be
baptized in His spirit.

We need to be cleansed.

Baptism represents a
cleansing, a new birth.

- After they
crossed the Red Sea,

God rains Manna
down from heaven.

Which is a symbol of
the Table of Shrewbread.

The word of God.

God now says to them, "You
are my royal priesthood,

my holy nation."

That seven branch candlestick

was a symbol of the
people of God.

[Narrator] "I will
also give thee

for a light to the Gentiles,

that thou mayest be my salvation

unto the end of the earth."

- In Exodus 19, God instructs
Moses to tell the children

of Israel to spend three
days in preparation.

They were to be
praying, pleading,

preparing their
hearts as it were.

Which points us to the
altar of incense, prayer.

Because in Exodus 20,
God would come down

and speak to them the 10
commandments.

And so you have the law
of God being spoken,

you have His presence.

So the children of Israel
were basically in essence

looking into the
most holy place.

So you see this
pattern of the sanctuary

leading from bondage
into the presence of God.

Even illustrated in how
the children of Israel

went from bondage to the
presence of God.

[Narrator] "The earth shook,
the heavens also dropped

at the presence of God:

even Sinai itself was moved
at the presence of God,

the God of Israel."

[Jeff] Jesus' last request to
His Father was to

dwell with those who love Him.

That they might experience the
full revelation of His love

without being consumed by it.

The two promises of the
everlasting covenant

are for this purpose.

They declare Gods promise
to show mercy to man

and sanctify him.

That the prayer of
Christ might be answered.

It was amazing,
yet not surprising

that we find the symbols
of these two promises

manifest by the glory of
God in the most holy place.

[Narrator] "For the
Son of man shall come

in the glory of His
Father with His angels."

- The prophets saw the
coming of Christ in vision

and were astonished.

Isaiah said, "Who among
us shall dwell with

the devouring fire?

Who among us shall dwell
with everlasting burnings?"

Then Isaiah answered his
own question and says,

"He that walketh righteously."

- We're told that
it's the righteous

that will dwell with
the everlasting fire.

[Jeff] So how do we
enter into the presence

of God at His coming?

There are few better
examples than Noah,

who was called a preacher
of righteousness.

[Allen] When we take a
look at the idea

of coming into God's presence,

this idea is set
forth in Noah's time

in that Noah and his family
came into God's presence

by faith entering into the ark.

[Narrator] "And the
Lord said unto Noah,

Come thou and all thy
house in the ark."

When God said come, it
was an invitation for Noah

to go to the same
place where God was.

And according to this
verse, God was in the ark.

- What God was
inviting Noah to do

was to come into His presence.

That is ultimately the
essence of the covenant.

It's an agreement.

It's like a marriage.

You and I are going
to dwell together.

And this is the very same thing

as the covenant in our day.

It is God seeking to bring
us into His presence.

[Narrator] And the
reason why Noah was

able to enter into
the presence of God

is given in the same verse.

"For thee have I seen righteous

before me in this generation."

- Noah was righteous.

He built the ark.

He couldn't see any rain.

He couldn't see any flood.

He had to move forward in faith.

And that's probably the
single defining characteristic

that set Noah apart from
everyone else.

[Narrator] "By faith
Noah, being warned of God

of things not seen as
yet, moved with fear,

prepared an ark to the
saving of his house;

by the which he
condemned the world,

and became heir of the
righteousness

which is by faith."

- How did Noah become an
heir of righteousness?

We read in this verse it was
because he prepared an ark.

Noah's ark was in
a sense a sanctuary

and a resting place
for God's presence.

And we too have
an ark to prepare.

We are to be living sanctuaries

that God may dwell in us.

As Paul said, "Know ye
not that your body is

the temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you,

which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?"

Through the
process of the sanctuary,

as man draws nearer to
God, it is he himself

that is being changed
and made into a living

sanctuary for the
presence of God.

- So the sanctuary is like the
changing booth if you will.

This is where we enter in

and a transformation happens.

It's the actual change
from unrighteousness

to righteousness that allows us

to ultimately be able to stand
and see God face to face.

[Narrator] God
gave Noah the blueprint

for His plan to save Noah.

And Noah
cooperated with God's plan

by preparing the ark.

In the same way, God has
given us the blueprint

for the sanctuary
and we are to cooperate

with God's plan
for our salvation.

By preparing to
dwell in His presence

as we walk through
the sanctuary process.

(water splashing)

"For ye are the temple
of the living God;

as God hath said, I
will dwell in them,

and walk in them; and
I will be their God,

and they shall be my people."

- If you look at the
Old Testament sanctuary,

the moment that all the
articles of furniture

were set in place,
that's when the presence

of God filled the tabernacle
and sanctified it.

Ultimately, what
God is trying to do,

is He's trying to
get those articles

of furniture in place in us.

That means the
altar of sacrifice.

We're living a life
of sacrifice.

We're living a life
of purity, laver.

We're living a life based
upon the word of God.

We're letting our light shine

on the seven branch candlestick.

We are interceding,
we're praying,

we're communing with God
and we're keeping His law.

Ultimately, when
God has a people

in which those articles of
furniture are set in place

and functioning,
Jesus will come again

to tabernacle within
those sanctuaries.

Both in a spiritual sense

and a very literal sense.

His presence will sanctify us

when we follow His
blueprint for sanctification.

(determined music)

- Many Christians wonder
why Jesus hasn't come yet.

What is He waiting for?

Well Jesus Himself told us that

"As the days of Noe
were, so shall also

the coming of the
Son of man be."

So then we may ask ourselves,

what was God waiting
for in the days of Noah,

before He sent the flood?

Peter says, "The
longsuffering of God waited

in the days of Noah, while
the ark was a preparing."

God waited to send a flood while
the ark was being prepared.

And Jesus is waiting
today for the same reason.

He's not waiting for
the multitudes of earth

to sink further into sin.

He's waiting for the few who
will fully surrender to Him.

That they might be prepared
to be living vessels

fit for the presence of God.

(light determined music)

- Need to be
cleansed and purified.

[Narrator] To prepare
a people for the

presence of Christ,
is the purpose

of the third angel's message.

This is a warning about
worshiping the beast

and his image and
receiving his mark.

But this final conflict
is ultimately to prepare

a people to stand in the
presence of the holy angels

and in the presence of the Lamb.

- So this message guides
us into the most holy place

into the presence of the Lamb.

[Narrator] For this reason,
the third angel's message

and the sanctuary
are linked together.

[Stephen] The presence of
God dwelt in the

Old Testament sanctuary
in the most holy place.

And the high priest
could only enter

the most holy place once a year.

However, the people
were to follow

the high priest into the
most holy place by faith.

[Narrator] "Having
therefore, brethren,

boldness to enter into the
holiest by the blood of Jesus."

- Hebrews 10:19 talks
about this idea

of entering into the
most holy place by faith.

And really, this has
been a very difficult

concept for Christians to grasp.

Because many of
them, number one,

don't understand that there
is a sanctuary in heaven.

But when they do
get this concept,

oftentimes they don't
really know what that means.

- The most holy place of
the heavenly sanctuary

contained the 10 commandments.

And in the center of the 10
commandments

was found the Sabbath.

Which is the seal in the
center of the commandments.

This is a very important detail.

Because the third
angels message speaks

about those who receive
the Mark of the Beast.

So the Sabbath commandment
clearly connects

the third angel's message
with the sanctuary.

Because the third
angels message deals

with the issue of
Sabbath or Sunday,

and the most holy place
of course, has the law,

and then the center of the
law is contained the Sabbath.

- When we take a look
at the relationship

of the third angels
message of Revelation 14

and how it relates to
the most holy place,

we get a really good
understanding

of what's going to
happen to the righteous,

and what's going to
happen to the wicked.

- Those who reject the
three angels messages,

particularly those who worship
the beast and his image,

and receive the mark,
they will suffer

the punishment of fire.

It says in the third
angel's message.

They will not be able to abide

in the presence of the fire.

But they will be
consumed by the fire.

[Narrator] "And he shall
be tormented with fire

and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels,

and in the presence
of the lamb."

- Paul also gives the warning

of the third angel's message
in 2nd Thessalonians.

- [Narrator] "And to you who
are troubled rest with us,

when the Lord Jesus shall
be revealed from heaven

with His mighty
angels in flaming fire

taking vengeance on
them that know not God,

and that obey not the Gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ:

who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction

from the presence of the Lord,

and from the
glory of His power."

[Jeff] In this verse, the
one affirmative statement

that shows us how
to prepare for that time

when the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed

is given in the
command, "Rest with us."

- Only those that have entered
into the rest of Christ

will be able to stand in
the presence of Jesus.

The third angel's message
also warns us about those

who reject entering
into the Sabbath rest.

[Narrator] "They have
no rest day nor night,

who worship the
beast and his image,

and whosoever receiveth
the mark of his name."

[Stephen] The third angel's
message is actually

warning people to not receive
the Mark of the Beast,

to not observe the
counterfeit day of worship,

but to keep the Sabbath
which is the seal of God

in honor of the great creator

and in honor of the redeemer.

- As that angel is
flying it's pointing

to the heavenly
sanctuary, in particular,

to the most holy place.

Why?

Because how do we avoid
the Mark of the Beast?

By entering in by faith
into the most holy place.

[Jeff] In Psalms 91,
David writes about those

who have entered
into the most holy place

and says this.

[Narrator] "There shall
no evil befall thee,

neither shall any plague
come nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall give his
angels charge over thee,

to keep thee in all thy ways."

- When the seven last
plagues are poured out,

those who have entered
into the most holy place

by faith will not
receive the plagues.

And they will be
protected by holy angels.

Why?

Because David says in verse
one, "He dwelleth in the

secret place of the most High."

The Bible also reveals the
location of this secret place.

[Narrator] "For in the
time of trouble

he shall hide me
in his pavilion:

in the secret of his
tabernacle shall he hide me."

- It is in the
tabernacle or sanctuary

that God's people
will find refuge.

And where in the sanctuary
is this secret place?

Again David writes this.

[Narrator] "Thou shalt
hide them in the

"secret of thy presence."

[Ivor] The secret place was a
reference to the

most holy place in the
sanctuary of God.

Which is where the
presence of God dwells.

Those who have entered the
most holy place by faith.

(thunder cracking)

Who are submitted to His
law, submitted to His will,

they are the ones
that are in the secret

place of the most high.

(thunder cracking)

Psalm 91 says that no
plague will come near those.

So it is very significant
(calming music)

to see that in the end
of time when these

plagues are poured out,

the ones who escape the plagues

are those who are dwelling
in the secret place.

Those who have moved by faith

into the most holy place,
who accept Gods law,

who accept His Sabbath,
and are therefore

dwelling in His presence.

(thunder cracking)
(gentle music)

[Narrator] In the most
holy place of the sanctuary

there was the presence of
God, the Ark of the Covenant.

And inside the ark were
the 10 commandments.

Also called The Testimony.

This scene of the throne room

was symbolically
depicted on earth

in the days of Noah.

Inside the ark was
the presence of God.

There was the ark itself.

And inside the ark were
the living testimonies

upon whose hearts and minds the
law of God had been written.

They had entered the ark,
but they had spiritually

entered into the covenant.

The most holy place and
the presence of God.

This scene is but a
symbolic representation

of that final day
when those who have

entered into the
everlasting covenant

shall stand in the presence
of Christ at His coming.

- It was Gods ideal to show man.

Look, this is what I
want for you.

I want for you to be able
to stand in my presence

and not be consumed.

Like Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego.

- And look at what happens here.

They are told about
down to the image

after the music plays.

The refuse to do so.

They are then brought
before the king.

The king gives them another
opportunity to do so.

And he says, But if you don't,

I will cast you into a
burning fiery furnace.

And of course they didn't.

He heated the fire seven times
hotter than it was before

and he cast them in.

- But they weren't consumed

because of Gods presence
was in there with them.

But the guys who threw them
into that fiery furnace,

because they were not prepared
for the presence of God,

the same fire destroyed
them that was like nothing

to Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego.

- Why did these three
young men not burn up?

And the answer is plain.

There was no sin left in them.

They were so joined with Christ

that He was with
them in the fire.

Their characters were so refined

that they were spotless
before the Son of God.

- Those who have accepted
Jesus as Savior and Lord,

and who have
allowed the grace of God

to cleanse their lives from sin,

the fire will not consume them.

- Because they had obeyed God,

they were protected
and purified by Christ,

they could stay in those
burnings and be unharmed.

And yet on the other hand,

those who threw them in,

they didn't even make it
in and they were destroyed

by that same fire.

- Those who are righteous

will be clothed with the
same righteousness of Christ.

There will be no
combustible material to burn.

And therefore, they
will be able to stand

in the presence of the Lord.

Whereas the wicked
will be consumed

by the very sin
that they harbor.

- And so our God
is a consuming fire.

And we need to now allow

Christ and His spirit to

purify us and to sanctify us

to be able to abide His coming.

Otherwise we'll flee from
that fire, that glory.

- The fire meant to
consume these men

became unto them
an ark of refuge

because the presence of the
Son of God was with them.

This is a lesson to all of us

regarding the nature of
Christ's second coming.

At the same time the
glory of His presence

will consume the wicked.

He will be to the
righteous an ark of fire.

(light gentle music)

[Narrator] "As wax
melteth before the fire,

so let the wicked perish
at the presence of God.

But let the righteous be glad;

let them rejoice before God:

yea, let them
exceedingly rejoice."

[Ivor] These three
angels messages

point us to the importance
of inner righteousness.

The presence of
God dwelling in us.

That is what prepares us
to stand in His presence.

- The mission Jesus came
to earth to accomplish

is revealed in His last prayer.

- [Narrator] "Father,
I will that they also,

who though hast given
me, be with me where I am;

that they may behold my glory,

which thou hast given me."

- Jesus' last
request to His Father

was to dwell with
those who love Him.

That they might experience the
full revelation of His love

without being consumed by it.

The two promises of the
everlasting covenant

are for this purpose.

They declare God's promise
to show mercy to man

and sanctify him.

That the prayer of
Christ might be answered.

It was amazing, yet not
surprising that

we find the symbols
of these two promises

manifest by the glory of
God in the most holy place.

[Narrator] The Sabbath
is the sign of Gods promise

to sanctify man.

That we may dwell in the
presence and glory of God.

In His presence, the true
significance of the Sabbath rest

will be fully realized.

With nothing
separating man from God,

he may find an eternal rest.

No more sorrow, no more pain
or disease or suffering.

"For in thy presence is
fullness of joy" David said.

In Gods presence
man will find the

fulfillment of the Sabbath rest.

Therefore, it is by
the manifestation

of Gods presence
in the most holy place

we see represented the symbolism

and significance of the Sabbath.

And bound up with
the manifestation

of the consuming fire.

Ezekiel saw the sign of
the promise of mercy.

"And I saw as
the color of amber,

as the appearance of fire
round about within it,

from the appearance of
his loins even upward,

and from the appearance
of his loins even downward,

I saw as it were
the appearance of fire,

and it had
brightness round about."

Ezekiel then
describes this brightness

round about God's
presence in detail.

"As the appearance of the
bow that is in the cloud

in the day of rain, so
was the appearance of the

brightness round about.

This was the
appearance of the likeness

of the glory of the Lord."

(slow gentle music)

[Jeff] Here in the manifestation
of the presence of God

is represented the
signs of the promises

whereby man is prepared
to dwell in His presence.

The Sabbath, given by God to be

for a perpetual or
everlasting covenant

is a sign of God's
promise to sanctify man

to abide in His presence.

And the rainbow given to Noah

is a sign of the everlasting
covenants promise

of mercy for the
forgiveness of sins.

Both of these promises are
guaranteed

by the life and death of Jesus.

He lived a sinless
life that we might

be sanctified by the merits
of His righteousness.

And for the sins we
have committed,

He died in our place that
we might receive His mercy.

In these two symbols manifest
by the presence of God

are represented the
significance of the Gospel

and the everlasting covenant.

All so that the Father,

separated from
His children by sin

might once again might be
reunited with them

at His coming.

[Narrator] "Now unto him
that is able to keep you

from falling and to
present you faultless before

the presence of His
glory with exceeding joy,

to the only wise God our Savior,

be glory and majesty,
dominion and power,

both now and ever, amen."

- The message was
get into the ark.

It is actually a call

to draw people
into the ark of safety

which is the secret
place of the most high.

The most holy place
of the sanctuary.

And that call is
the call that has

been going out since 1844.

It has been
directing the attention

of mankind to the
Ark of the Covenant

wherein is the law of God.

And on top of which was
the presence of God.

So it's as though this
message is calling mankind

to the secret place
of the most high

where there is safety.

- Not the flood this time.

But the fire of destruction
is gonna be on the wicked.

So our message
is the same thing.

Get into the ark,

except not the ark Noah built

but the ark that Moses put
in the most holy place.

[Ivor] Ultimately, secret place
is the presence of God.

(slow gentle music)

(slow paced music)

So when Christ's
presence comes again,

when Christ comes a second time,

we're told that this earth

will basically be left in a
state that is uninhabitable

because of the fire and
the presence of God.

[Narrator] After the
seventh and final plague,

Jesus will come again.

And His presence
will shake the earth,

triggering a chain
of volcanic eruptions

around the world.

"The mountains might flow
down at thy presence,

as when the
melting fire burneth,

the fire causeth
the waters to boil."

- The Bible says that
there will be fire

from heaven in
the final judgment.

And that the fire will
also come from the earth.

That the store
houses of fire and hail

and those necessary
for the destruction are

here in the crust of the earth.

[Narrator] At the
time of the flood,

cities, people, animals, and
immense forests were buried

and have since
turned to coal and oil.

These frequently ignite and burn

beneath the
surface of the earth.

The rocks are heated, and
when mixed with water,

the intense heat causes
earthquakes,

volcanoes, and great
cracks in the earth's crust.

And by these
means the pre-flood world,

buried by water in
the depths of the earth

will be brought
forth and employed

in the destruction
of the world by fire.

- Take Mount Saint
Helens and multiply it

by 100 multiply it
by a thousand.

[Walter] And we have
examples of massive

volcanic eruptions
that take place now.

So there will be
catastrophes on a scale

that we cannot imagine
(sirens blaring)

in the final destruction.

- In the Days of Noah, water
rained down from the sky

and water came up from
the depths of the earth.

And at the end of time,

fire will be used in
the same manner.

As lightnings from heaven
unite with fire in the earth,

the mountains will
burn like a furnace

and will pour forth
terrific streams of lava

overwhelming gardens and
fields, villages and cities.

The earth will be convulsed.

Everywhere there
will be dreadful

earthquakes and eruptions.

(thunder cracking)

- Now, Isaiah 24 in
verse five gives us

the reason why.

[Narrator] "The
earth also is defiled

under the inhabitants thereof;

because they have
transgressed the laws,

changed the ordinance, broken
the everlasting covenant.

Therefore, hath the
curse devoured the earth,

and they that dwell
therein are desolate:

therefore the inhabitants
of the earth are burned,

and few men left."

[Stephen] Interesting
that it says,

"They have
transgressed the laws."

We found in the
book of Deuteronomy,

it says that the covenant was
written on tables of stone.

The ten commandments.

And so basically the
reason why is because

of the way that people
have treated God's law

and more
specifically, His Sabbath.

(light music)

- Though the whole
world was destroyed

in the Days of Noah, we
see in the pages of Genesis

that "Noah only remained alive,

and they that were
with him in the ark."

At the end of time,
the same will be true.

Only those that have
entered into the ark

of the everlasting
covenant will be saved.

During this time they
will receive the same

mercy and protection

that preserved Noah
through the flood.

[Stephen] The rainbow that
Noah and His family saw

after the flood was
in a certain sense

an everlasting covenant
that not only included them

and the people that
would come after them,

but it also included
God's end time generation

that would be
protected in the midst

of the convulsions of the earth

that they placed during the
period of the seventh plague.

As it's stated in
the book of Isaiah.

- Where He
promises in the same way

that His covenant
was made to Noah.

That that covenant would not
be removed from God's people.

And even though the
earth was imploding

during the time of the flood,

He preserved Noah.

And He ratified that
with a bow of promise.

God says that He's
gonna do that for Gods

people in the last days.

[Narrator] "In a little
wrath I hid my face

from thee for a moment;

but with everlasting kindness
will I have mercy on thee,

saith the Lord thy redeemer.

For this is as the
waters of Noah unto me:

for as I have sworn
that the waters of Noah

should no more
go over the earth;

so have I sworn that I
would not be wroth with thee,

nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains shall depart,

and the hills be removed;

but my kindness shall
not depart from thee,

neither shall the covenant
of my peace be removed,

saith the Lord that
hath mercy on thee."

In this passage, God repeats
His covenant of mercy

to the last generation
that He established

with Noah before the flood.

The rainbow was and still is

the sign and symbol of
Gods promise to show mercy.

For Isaiah says this
promise is extended

to those upon the earth.

"When the
mountains shall depart,

and the hills be removed."

In the book of Revelation
we see this same event

described in chapter
16 where we read,

"Every island fled away,

and the mountains
were not found."

And we see in this
chapter this event occurs

when the seventh angel pours out

the seventh and final plague.

- Therefore the rainbow
that was a sign of

God's promise of mercy to Noah

is also a sign of His
promise to show us mercy

and to protect us
through the outpouring

of the seven last plagues.

[Narrator] The rainbow
of the everlasting covenant

is just a much a
promise of mercy

to preserve us
through the destruction

of the world by fire, as
it was to preserve Noah

through the destruction
of the world by water.

- If a person's ever
been out on the ocean

in a severe storm,
it's terrifying.

Yet Noah was
preserved in the midst

of this incredible tribulation.

And the confidence that He
protected Noah through that

reminds us that He can
(thunder cracking)

Even when the
seventh plague is falling

and the mountains are being
swallowed up by the sea,

He said my promise
to preserve you during

that time still stands.

[Narrator] "God is our
refuge and our strength,

a very present help in trouble.

"Therefore will not we fear,

though the earth be removed,

and though the
mountains be carried

into the midst of the sea;

though the waters thereof
roar and be troubled,

though the mountains shake
with the swelling thereof."

(walls rumbling)

(rocks crumbling)

(door clanking)

(thunder cracking)

(determined music)

(sirens blaring)

- You see Noah moving from
an old world to a new world

based upon the
covenant that was made.

This is the same thing that
God wants to do with us.

The covenant is
designed to move us

from the old world
to a new world.

[Doug] Though the first world
was destroyed by water,

the world the second time
will be destroyed by fire.

And Peter implies then that,

We look for a new
heaven, a new earth.

Meaning we will
survive that destruction.

We're gonna
survive that fire.

- In the book of Isaiah,
God speaks about

creating a new heavens
and a new earth.

- The whole story of
what happened with Noah

and what happens
in the last days,

it's all about how to
get back to the garden.

He wants to restore
paradise for man

and purity to the universe.

[Ivor] The new earth will
be a place where

according to the
book of Revelation,

there'll be no more
tears, no more crying,

no more sin, no more
death or suffering.

- In other words,
everything will be perfect.

The world will return
to the condition

it was in before sin.

[Ivor] There will be no
thorns, will be no death,

no thing in nature that
reflects anything impure,

or anything that decays or dies.

[Stephen] Weather
patterns will be perfect,

there'll be no pain, no
suffering, no sorrow.

[Ivor] And so the earth
itself will indeed

be a pure reflection
of the very glory

and character of God.

[Narrator] "And I
heard a great voice

out of heaven saying,

Behold, the tabernacle
of God is with men,

and He will dwell with them,

and they shall be His people,

and God Himself shall be
with them, and be their God."

- His sanctuary will be with us.

God will live with us.

[Allen] We see in Revelation
there is no temple.

[Clyde] There is no more
need of a laver.

There is no more need
of the altar of incense.

The Table of
Shrewbread, the candlesticks,

all of these sorts of things,

because that has been completed.

[Ivor] And so
that was ultimate

purpose of the sanctuary.

How God ultimately will
dwell with His people.

- There's no need of a temple
because God is the temple.

He dwells with man.

So the sanctuary again is
complete because of God.

Because of Christ.

And we His people, those of
us who choose to be there

will reign with Him forever.

(thunder cracking)

[Ivor] God desires and God will
make this place a new earth.

But only those who
accept the covenant

and get into the
ark will be alive

to get out of the ark and
see it when it happens.

[Narrator] "And God
shall wipe away all

tears from their eyes;

and there shall be
no more death,

neither sorrow, nor crying,

for the former things
are passed away.

And He that sat
upon the throne said,

Behold, I make all things new."

[Clyde] Those things that have
caused us so much misery

and so much grief and so
much pain will be gone.

And we'll be given a new
earth and a new heart.

But we will still be,
I will be me

and you will be you.

But we will be different

because there is
no pain, no sorrow,

no death, no dying.

That's love.

That's ultimate love.

(thunder cracking)
(light music)

[Jeff] On this timeline we
can look back

and see how Bible prophecy
has foretold every movement.

From the story of
Noah and the flood,

the 70 week prophecy pointing
to the sacrifice of Christ,

the corruption and
restoration of the sanctuary,

and the events of
the present day.

With this track record we
can know with certainty

that we are at the end
of the judgment hour

living in the last
sliver of time.

The Days of Noah are done, the
door of mercy is almost shut,

and the last
prophecies of Revelation

are being rapidly
fulfilled in our midst.

The papacy and the United States

are allying themselves together.

Protestants and
Catholics are uniting.

The blessings of
eating and drinking

and giving in marriage is being

perverted by millions
and sanctioned by law.

Religious liberties are
being attacked and revoked.

And the Pope and
members of congress

are paving the way for
the legislation of Sunday

to curb the evils of
an immoral society.

Jesus is coming very very soon.

Are you prepared
to meet your God?

- Back now to our top story.

A terrible mystery gripping
the world right now.

Birds, fish, and all
kinds of creatures

just dropping dead
in huge numbers

for what seems like no reason.

- [Driver] Birds just were
falling out of the sky.

- Dozens of large whales are

washing up dead
on the shores of Alaska.

- Crews are in boats in Sanibel.

They're cleaning up hundreds
and thousands of dead fish,

turtles, and other...

- Trying to unravel a mystery
in northeastern New Mexico.

More than 100 elk
found dead on a ranch

about 20 miles
north of Las Vegas.

- [Reporter] 8,000 dead
turtle doves in Italy.

hundreds of birds dead in
Rockwell Texas.

500 Red-winged
Blackbirds in Louisiana.

100 birds, Sweden.

3,000 dead Red-winged
Blackbirds in Arkansas.

Several hundred
dead in Kentucky.

On the fish, several hundred
snapper fish in New Zealand.

Thousands of
dead fish in Florida.

40,000 deviled crabs in the UK.

80,000 drum fish in Arkansas.

Two million spot and
croakers in Maryland

in the last two weeks.

- Scientists are
scrambling to investigate

what caused that mass die-off.

- I just wanna know why.

- [Narrator] "For the
Lord hath a controversy

with the inhabitants
of the land,

because there is no
truth, nor mercy,

nor knowledge of
God in the land.

Therefore, shall the land mourn,

and every one that dwelleth
therein shall languish,

with the beasts of the field,

and the fowls of heaven;

yea, the fishes of the sea
also shall be taken away."

- [Male] That's crazy.

- A major tsunami has
struck northeastern Japan

sending a four meter
wall of water inland.

- [Male Reporter] In Indonesia.

- This after Friday's
monstrous earthquake

and the disastrous tsunami
that followed that earthquake.

[Art] If I were on the ark
and I were looking out

and I saw my son or
my daughter outside,

it would tear my heart out.

What would I say?

What message could I leave them?

[Narrator] "And there
shall be signs in the sun

and in the moon,
and in the stars,

and upon the earth,
distress of nations

with perplexity, the sea
and the waves roaring."

- [Reporter] Pacific
coast area of Japan.

That tsunami, that huge
tsunami you can see

hitting Miyagi prefecture

in northern Japan
and Sendai city.

This is already

one of the most devastating
hurricane seasons ever.

- [Male Reporter] An outbreak
as we come on the air,

tornadoes are on
the ground in Oklahoma.

One reported to be a mile wide.

- Raging wildfires in the west.

More than a dozen burning
across California alone.

- Probably great financial
turmoil in the world.

Maybe natural disasters
and through fear.

People are going to
run to the churches.

The existential
threat of our time,

the climate crisis,
a crisis manifested

in natural disasters of
epic proportion...

- The ecological
crisis is essentially

a spiritual problem.

- [Female Reporter] The
encyclical praise be,

is the most important
papal document

ever on the environment.

- Consume less and buy less.

We have to really
rethink our lifestyles.

- The fact that he's
bringing oil executives

from BP and other companies
to talk about this issue

I think is significant.

- [Male Reporter] Calls for
a new environmental morality.

The encyclical rests
on a simple premise.

What sort of world do we
want to leave our children?

- [Female Reporter]
He recently concluded

global warming is a moral issue.

- [Female Reporter] On an issue
where activists meet apathy,

the world scientists
are doubted,

and global institutions ignored,

a rockstar radical
from the Vatican,

at least gets attention.

- And I have been
enormously impressed

by Pope Francis.

We've got to engrain
moral principles

into our economy.

- Protestants and Catholics
are going to join their forces.

- [Male Reporter] General
Secretary the Reformed

Church in America held
a Presbyterian church

in the United States.

President of the National

Baptist Convention,
United States.

General Superintendent of
the International Pentecost

Holiness Church.

President of the
National Association

of Evangelicals.

Sir Bernard Senior,
President of the

Council of Churches of
the city of New York.

- The Pope traveled
to Sweden to meet

with the president of the
Lutheran World Federation.

The two leaders
signed a joint statement

pledging to improve relations

between Catholics and Lutherans.

- In 1999 the Roman
Catholic Church

and the Protestant
Lutheran Church

signed an agreement
that brought an end

to the protest.

- [Male Reporter] Signed in 1999

the declaration put
an end to one of

the most important issues

that separated
Catholics and Lutherans

since the reformation.

With the agreement
both sides recognize

that faith is not the only thing

that will lead to salvation.

But that works are
also necessary.

(audience applauding)

- This brought an end to
the protests of Luther.

Brothers and sisters,
Luther's protest is over.

Is yours?

If there is no more protest,

how can there be
a Protestant Church?

Maybe now we're
all Catholics again.

(audience laughing)

- One of the things that
God's put on our heart

is for us to just kind of
lay aside our differences

and come together.

- And then you talk
about Pentecostals,

Charismatics, Evangelicals,

Fundamentalists, Catholics,

Methodist Baptist, Presbyterian,

on and on and on and on.

Well, they would all say
we believe in the trinity,

we believe in the Bible, we
believe in the resurrection,

we believe salvation is
through Jesus Christ.

These are the big issues.

But the most important thing is

if you love Jesus,
we're on the same team.

- Protestant leaders will
join themselves with the state

and they will form
an image to beast.

- When you look into
Benedict the XVI eyes,

what do you see?

- God.

- I believe in an America

where the separation of
church and state is absolute.

Where no Catholic prelate
would tell the president

should he be
Catholic, how to act.

And no Protestant minister

would tell his parishioners
for whom to vote.

- [Male Reporter] That speech
has been read as you know

by millions of Americans.

Why did it make you throw up?

- Because the first line,

first substantive line
in the speech says,

"I believe in America
where the separation

"of church and state
is absolute."

I don't believe in an
America where the

separation of church
and state is absolute.

- Let's talk about God
and the constitution Mika.

- [Mika] Oh good, I
look forward--

- Governor Mike
Huckabee yesterday.

- [Male Reporter] Here we go.

- I have opponents in
this race who do not

want to change the constitution.

But I believe it's a lot easier
to change the constitution

than it would be to change
the word of the living God.

And that's what we need to do

is to amend the constitution
so it's in God's

standards rather
than try to change

God's standards so it
lines up with some

contemporary view of
how we treat each other

and how we treat the family.

- And when protestant
America does this,

they will then have
the image set up.

- My administration
will stand side by side

with the American
Catholics to promote

the values we all share as
Christians and Americans.

- The separation of
church and state

is not in the constitution,

it's not in the declaration.

We should be having an influence

upon arts and entertainment,

upon the media, upon sports,

upon education, upon government.

(audience applauding)

- [Male Reporter]
Increasing religious freedom

by scaling back
restrictions on churches

that now they could be
allowed to be politically.

- [Male Reporter] The
president gave remarks

in the Oval Office today
surrounded by Evangelical

religious leaders and members
of faith based groups.

He signed a
proclamation establishing

Sunday as a day of
prayer for those dealing.

- Our Christian heritage

will be cherished, protected,

defended, like you've
never seen before.

(audience cheering)

- The political
pressure is gonna be

applied so that they're
gonna use military

and police power
to persecute those

that believe the Biblical truth.

- I am announcing our next step.

The religious
liberty task force.

- It's clear this task
force won't be concerned

with religious
liberty for everyone.

Some critics are
even calling it to a

"nod to Christian nationalism."

- [Male Reporter]
More than 80 high level

government ministers
will come together

to promote religious freedom.

- They're some of the
countries most powerful people

and now they have been gathering

at the White House for God.

Making history as
part of the President's

Cabinet Bible Study.

So what's behind the spiritual
awakening at the White House?

- The last election 80% of
white Evangelical Christians

voted for Donald Trump.

This has given him a
huge support base.

And they have
immense political power

to influence government policy.

- [Male Reporter] Evangelical
adviser to President Trump

claiming God has
given him the authority

to take out North Korean
dictator Kim Jong Un.

Pastor Jeffers, citing
the Bible's book of Romans 13

which says in part, "For
he is the servant of God,

"and avenger who
carries out God's wrath

"on the wrongdoer."

- Especially Romans 13
does give President Trump

moral authority to use
whatever force necessary.

- Is this the most Evangelical
presidency you've seen?

- Oh 100%.

I don't think there's.

- And they'll appeal to
the powers of the state.

And people out of
fear are gonna listen.

- We are slowly
eroding a religion

at every
opportunity that we have.

Probably we
should be debating a bill

requiring every
American to attend

a church of their
choice on Sunday.

[Narrator] "And that

- 676 points down.

- Was the worst

since the crash of 1987.

- Some are calling
them radical ideas

by the Catholic Church to fix

- [Male Reporter]
Pope Benedict XVI

is calling for a new
world financial order.

In the third encyclical
of his pontificate,

Benedict announced the
profit at all cost mentality

of the globalized economy.

And he lamented that
greed brought about

the worst economic downturn
since the Great Depression.

- The Vatican has come out

and said that economic
inequality across the world

is very dangerous and
that the global economy

needs to be based
on ethical behavior

and the financial
systems need to work

towards an achievement of
a universal common good.

- [Female Reporter]
Vatican calls for

central world bank to be set up.

- [Female Reporter]
A proposal to create a

new financial authority,

including a global central bank

and a new tax on global

- [Male Reporter] Pope
Francis on Thursday

urged the downtrodden to change
the world economic order.

- This is a challenging
economy across the globe,

not just here in the US,
it's challenging everywhere.

And I think that
it's going to take

a lot of policy
changes and the Pope

clearly has a view on that
is weighing in on that.

- Is there a possibility
that there will

be a new world
currency that will take

over from the dollar?

- [Male Reporter] As the
debt crisis in Greece

sends the stock
market into a tailspin.

- It'll be a real
measure of kind of

the waning of
American power globally.

- The affirmative
task we have now

is to actually create

a new world order.

- The issue of the
Sabbath will become

very very
prominent in the world.

- Talk to me about the
Sabbath, what it means.

Just religion aside.

What it means to you.

- One of the ideas,

the political idea is sort
of embedded in the Sabbath

is the idea that as a society,

we have the right to
take control of our time

and say maybe as
a democratic society,

we want to decide
to bring back some

rules about what can and
cannot be done one day a week.

And we might wanna start
thinking about

ways to encourage people
not to work on that day.

- Seventh-day Adventist
is a Christian denomination

and one of the
things that we believe

is observing the Sabbath.

So from a young child,
being brought up,

I was always brought up
with Sabbath observance.

So Friday night sundown,
Saturday night sundown,

as mentioned in the
10 commandments.

remember the seventh
day to keep it holy.

- Which, may I just
confess that I learned

in my first meeting with DeVon,

all these years I thought
the Sabbath was Sunday.

I've been going to church, we
say worship on the Sabbath,

worship on the Sabbath
in the Baptist church.

And you corrected me, you said,

"No, Sunday is the
first day of the week.

"Sabbath is Friday sundown
to Saturday sundown."

- [DeVon] That's
right, that's right.

- I stand corrected.

- The day of rest, the Sabbath,

because in six days
God created the world

and on the 7th He rested.

When Christianity came
along they changed that.

And they made the Sabbath
the first day of the week

'cause that was the day on which

certain important
events happen to Jesus.

- Constantine had the
authority to change the Sabbath

from Saturday to Sunday.

Looking through the
Bible we have not found

evidence that anybody except God

gets to make that declaration.

- You know what, is working
on Sundays true freedom?

It basically says, all
of this hard work

that people are doing
on the weekends,

on Sundays, is having a
negative impact on their lives.

- Sunday law, the
Bible speaks about

these laws that will be passed.

They're called Blue Laws.

They are an indicator that

the close of probation is close.

Is very near.

- Several states still have
Blue Laws on the books.

Those are the laws that restrict

what you can buy on Sunday.

- [Female Reporter] It's
based on a centuries old

Christian concept brought
over to this country

in colonial times.

- And anyone who does not comply

with this law of the state

instigated by the church

will be persecuted.

The religious leaders
in the United States

will push strongly for
a national Sunday law.

Which eventually will
lead to a universal

worldwide Sunday law.

- In EU's original
working time directive

Sunday should be a
weekly day of rest

for European workers.

- [Male] This is not
necessarily a

religious thing any
longer at least.

- Should the Sabbath
be a day of rest?

- If we're going to,
as a country,

and as individuals,
if we're going to say,

actually it's our
relationships that

are most important
to us as a community

and I suggest that
we have to make

one day of the week, give
priority to relationships.

- New Italian
government will introduce

a ban on Sunday shopping
in large commercial centers

by the end of this year.

The reason, the Italian
government fears

that shopping on
weekends is destroying

family traditions and creating.

- Ban on working on
Sundays isn't it for you?

- That's right.

And this Sunday several
home improvement stores

decided to brave that ban

and this has caused
quite an uproar

that is continuing to get a
lot of attention here today.

Let's take a look at
(speaks foreign language)

that talks about Sacred Sunday.

- [Female Reporter] Our
society that provided

the rhythm of
consumption is likely

to steal from us.

The sense of celebrating Sunday

as the day of the Lord
and the community.

- Our continuing
Catechesis on the Eucharist

today centers on the
importance of Sunday mass.

As Christians, we
celebrate the Eucharist

in order to encounter the Lord,

to hear His word,
eat at His table,

and by His grace, to fulfill
our mission in the world

as members of His
mystical body, the church.

As the day of the Resurrection

and the Pentecostal
outpouring of the Holy Spirit,

Sunday is the Christian
holy day par excellence.

How could we pass this day
without encountering the Lord?

Sadly, in many
secularized societies

we have lost the
sense of Sunday.

Second Vatican council asked us

to celebrate the Lords day

as a day of joy and
rest from several work.

Precisely as a sign of our
dignity as children of God.

Each Sunday is
meant to be a foretaste

of the eternal bliss
and repose to which

we're called and which
we share even now

in holy communion.

In the end, we go to mass

not to give something to God,

but to receive from Him

the grace and strength to remain

faithful to His word.

- The third angels
message is all about

getting right with Christ

so that we can avoid the
punishment of the wicked.

This is why the
revelator finishes up

in Revelations 14:12.

"Here is the
patience of the saints:

"here are they that" do what?

"Keep the commandments of
God, and the faith of Jesus."

[Narrator] We are
living at the end

of the worlds last
judgment hour.

Now is the time to enter into

the everlasting
covenant by entering

into His rest.

Only those who receive
Gods mercy and are sanctified

will be hid with Christ in God

til the desolation
be overpassed.

Turn your face
to the throne of God,

and there you will see the
rainbow of the covenant.

The living promise of God.

Whosoever avails himself
of the provisions of mercy

that have been made
and appropriates

the merits of the life
and death of Christ

has in the rainbow
of the covenant

a blessed assurance of
acceptance with the Father

as long as the
throne of God endures.

During the outpouring of
the seven last plagues

and the coming of Christ,

the righteous will dwell safely

in the presence of the
Lamb with exceeding joy.

Looking forward to a new
heavens and a new earth,

wherein dwelleth righteousness.

And finally, God
will dwell with man.

[Jeff] The Days of Noah
refers to a time

when the warning message
about the judgment to come

began to be proclaimed.

And at the end of time, the
first angel's message announces

"The hour of His
judgment is come."

Noah preached the
everlasting Gospel

and at the end of
time, the first angel's

message also proclaims
the everlasting Gospel.

Noah had a global message.

And the three angels'
messages at the end of time

are also given to all
"That dwell on the earth

"to every nation, kindred,
and tongue, and people."

Noah called people
to forsake their idols

and false systems of worship.

At the end of time the
second angels message

announces the fall of Babylon.

Exposes her false
worship and her sins

and proclaims the plea of God.

"Come out of her my people,

"that you be not
partakers of her sins

"and that you receive
not of her plagues."

In the Days of Noah,
the people were tested

to see who would
trust in the promises

of the everlasting covenant

by the sign of
entering into the ark.

Now at the end of time,
the third angels message

warns us of the coming
test that will determine

who will trust in the promises

of the everlasting
covenant by the sign

of entering into
His Sabbath rest.

Noah was a preacher
of righteousness.

An heir of
righteousness by faith

which prepared him to enter
into the presence of God.

And likewise, the
third angel's message

and the Mark of the Beast crisis

will also reveal
who will be prepared

to dwell in the presence
of the holy angels

and in the presence of the Lamb.

Noah's ark served as a sanctuary
for Noah and his family.

It was a symbol
of the most holy place

where we find the
presence of God, the ark.

And inside the Ark the covenant
of the 10 commandments.

Now we can finally see
the deeper significance

of this ancient story
and how it is a lesson

to teach us to enter
into the most holy place

of the heavenly
sanctuary by faith

and the blood of Jesus.

That we too might
be prepared to rest

in the presence
of God safely inside

of the Ark of the Covenant.

God said to Noah, "With thee
I will establish my covenant;

"and thou shall
come into the ark."

With these words,
God invited Noah

to come into His presence.

A picture of Jesus' last
invitation to man

to come into the glory of
His presence at His coming.

The tears of Noah and his
last pleadings with man

foreshadowed the tears of Jesus

in His last
heartfelt plea with us

by these three angel's messages.

As He said to Noah,
"Come into the ark."

So today the
captain of our salvation

is inviting us into the
last ark with these words.

[Narrator] "Incline your
ear, and come unto me:

hear, and your soul shall live;

and I will make an
everlasting covenant with you."

(determined music)

Sin and sinners will be no more.

The entire universe
will be clean,

one pulse of
harmony and gladness

will beat through
the vast creation

from Him who created all,

flow life and light and gladness

throughout the realms
of illimitable space.

From the minutest atom
to the greatest world.

All things animate and inanimate

in their shadowed
beauty and perfect joy

will declare that God is love.

- The worst decision I've ever
had to make

was to keep the Sabbath or not.

Because if I decided
to keep the Sabbath

that means I had to dispense

with my entire world philosophy.

And did I lose family and
friends as a consequence?

I can honestly say yes,
virtually all of them.

But I gained new ones.

And I pray for my old friends

and hope that they will
see the way one day.

But there are
consequences to this choice.

But then the Bible
says if you are

not willing to leave,

even father,
mother, wife, friend,

for the sake of Jesus Christ,

then you're not worthy of Him.

- When I was introduced
to this message

I was skeptical
of all religions.

Skeptical of the Bible.

I looked at it as a
book that was

just written by, you know, men.

And when I was introduced
to the prophetic element

of this message, I could
not find any error in it.

And it terrified me
because I thought

there's no such thing
as real truth.

It terrified me
because I knew that

if this was true,
there were changes

I would need to make in my life

and at the time I was
a hip-hop artist,

touring, an
eight album contract.

I was living what
I thought was life.

And so coming face to face

with the three angels messages,

there was a
decision that I had to make.

The first angel said
this is truth,

the second angel
said this is error,

and the third angel said choose.

And I saw the truth,
understood it,

saw the error, understood it.

I said okay, I have to
make my choice.

There's nothing else I can do.

And I turned away, left a
million dollar contract.

Said, alright Lord,
I'm ready.
