Advent HOPE Sabbath School

Peter Chung

Living Faith Over Fear During the Final Crisis

Holy Father, our Father God in heaven, Father, we thank you for another day of life and breath.

We thank you for an opportunity to worship you in spirit and truth.

And so, Father, today I am in total dependence of you, that the hearers be prepared for this message, and me as a deliverer be in sync with your thoughts, that I articulate this message with clarity and with conviction.

And Father, If those of the brethren that disagree with the message, may they realize that I do this out of love and that I'm not trying to be adversarial or divisive.

And so Father, in spite of myself, may I be a blessing, not a curse to your people.

May your Holy Spirit bring us into the unity of the truth.

And if I be wrong, may you reveal it to my eyes, I present this message.

Many years ago when I first became convicted about our Adventist message, by the way I was born in the church, but I didn't care much about Adventism until the age of 25 when things were going bad in my life.

It's often that God leads us through situations and trials so that we could hear God's voice a lot more clear, because when things are going well, you kind of ignore the voice of God.

And so at the age of 25, I became very serious about God, and that led me to the route to preach this everlasting gospel to anywhere the opportunity posed itself.

And many years ago, there was a man, he was a preacher, he taught end time events, he taught the prophecies of Daniel chapter 11.

Now I'm not gonna spend much time on it, I'm gonna just give you a crash course introduction on Daniel chapter 11.

You have the king of the south and the king of the north.

The prophecy of Daniel 11 begins with the Medes and Persians all the way to the end of the world when Jesus comes.

That is the outline of the prophecy and it gives detailed exactness.

You know in prophecy it repeats in the largest.

And Daniel 11 it gives a complete microscopic magnifying glass of the powers at play till the end of time.

There's 2 powers at work that are fighting throughout this prophecy.

Now the king of the south in Daniel chapter 11 verse 8 and 9 is identified as Egypt.

Now we know that Egypt as a nation currently has no prophetic significance therefore we know that Egypt is a spiritual representation.

Egypt as we compare it with Revelation because we know that Daniel unlocks Revelation, in Revelation chapter 11, verse 8, Egypt is revealed as connected to Sodom.

And we know, those that are students of Bible prophecy know that Revelation chapter 11 deals with the French Revolution.

So the king of the south represents the spirit of the French Revolution which is secular humanism and atheism.

In fact, the culture of Egypt and the culture of secular humanism is also found in the book of Olivica chapter 18.

It outlines all the sins of Egypt, which is connected to all the secular humanism we see today.

So you had a king of the south representing secular humanism, secular humanism, French Revolution.

Through that process, through that introduction of atheistic philosophy, you have evolution.

You have the free sex and sexual revolution movement that's so prevalent right now in our movies and TV today.

And so you have that side of powers warring in Daniel 11.

If you look at the King of the North in Daniel 11, verse 36, you compare the description of the King of the North, the King of the North seeks to magnify themselves above God.

It gives the representation of the papacy, or a church-state system.

The King of the North seeks to impose its will by a religious political power.

You have the King of the South, secular humanism, and the King of the North representing a church-state system, and that's where we're at today.

And I want to give an appeal to us, to 7th Avenus.

Please don't be loyal to a political party.

You see, secular humanism can represent the party of the left.

The kingdom of North represents those of Christian nationalism that wants a church-state system.

So either party is an enemy to God's people.

The only nation that we should be patriotic to is the kingdom of heaven.

And oftentimes we have fallen in a ditch either to the south or to the north and it's time that we be revived, our eyes selves open up, that we be loyal to the kingdom of God, patriotic and nationalistic to the kingdom of God, because the kingdom of God is every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.

And it saddens me that there's so much political division even in the church we should wake up.

You know there's fear that this side of the political spectrum is going to do this and this side of the spectrum does that.

The Bible says this, and at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him.

So the king of the south is being the attacker and aggressor.

Right now we see the king of the south being the aggressor.

We see the king of the south value system and morals attacking the king of the north.

But the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships and he shall enter into the countries and shall overflow and pass over." You know who's gonna win?

You see, if you look and read the great controversy, there's gonna be a threefold union.

They're not gonna believe the Bible, but when they see Satan masquerade as Jesus, saying that this is what we need to do, that'll convince them.

And so, at the end of the day, the church-state system is going to win.

The spirit of prophecy is clear that there will be a false revival.

The Bible says there'll be fire coming down from heaven.

And a false revival will be sweeping throughout the United States and the world of this church-state mentality.

And so we are picking and choosing what we're seeing because we're letting cable news dictate to us what we see when the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy is clear that a false revival is coming.

You know it's interesting, people say, well I don't see it.

A long time ago, back in the 19th century, in the late 19th century, there was a Bible scholar of the 7th Adventure named Uriah Smith that wrote the book Daniel and Revelation.

However, he let current events dictate his interpretation of prophecy, he identified the key to the north as Turkey.

At that time, the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish Empire, had a vast empire throughout the Middle East and all the way to even in the outskirts of Central and Eastern Europe, they had a sphere of influence, so he let current events dictate to his interpretation, not by the sure word of Bible prophecy.

You know, our Adventist pioneers were not dictated by the current events in the 1850s.

Andrews was the first Adventist pioneer to introduce that the Lamb Light Beast is the United States of America.

And at that time, the United States was a relatively weak nation.

It was not even expanding beyond its borders.

It was in the cusp of a civil war, and it looked very, very weak.

And a lot of people would say, hey, you Adventists, you're wrong.

The United States is a weak nation, but prophecy came true.

Do not let the current situation and current news cycle dictate to you our sure interpretation of Bible prophecy.
