The Gospel of Judgment

I can see your places don't allow you to to kneel those ones we have got a place to kneel down.

Let's just pray Our most gracious loving father in heaven would like to say thank you Thank you lord for the time that you have given us and thank you Lord for allowing us to study your word.

We ask you Lord that we may be prepared for the final events.

Grace us with your presence in Christ Jesus name we pray amen.

Kenya okay fine thank you very much I am I am I'm a person we has been in different countries so I no longer even know my country of origin, if I can say.

All right, I was born in Zimbabwe, born and bred in Zimbabwe, and then I was in Botswana, from Botswana I went to Romania, Romania, I mean, all over the places.

So I'm a missionary in Romania, and for the past almost 20 years now, I've been Romanian.

And if you see that my English is not working very well, you should know it's because I've been spoiled in Romania, right?

Because of the time that we have, we would want to get, it's very difficult for us to be able to pass through the prophecies within a very short time.

So I've been asked to 0 our attention to the 3 angels message.

So I'm going to be going with you step by step and please just take your Bibles with you so that we can study together.

So in the first place, if you've got the book of Revelation chapter 12, if you have got your Bibles, please just help me by reading them.

By the way, who has got the King James Version here?

Okay, do you know why I'm just asking this question?

It's mainly because there are some of the Bible versions that do not have some verses and that's the reason why I would simply say if you find your King James Version You would you would actually enjoy yourself.

For me we are going to book of Revelation chapter 14 verses 6 & 7 Revelation chapter 14 verses 6 & 7 and remember our subject is the everlasting gospel and we are dealing with the gospel and the judgment.

Why is it important for us to study the prophecy especially the 3 angels message if you if you read from Testaments to ministers 1 1 4 you find that the moment we study the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation there will be such a great revival in the church such as never has been witnessed among the nations right if we study the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation and by the way these are the books that we need to be to be studying in these last days why is because they deal with the end time message and as a church let's start with Revelation chapter 12 verse 17 I know I'm causing you to jump here and there okay can somebody read mm-hmm oh my my louder my brother if I can find the the volume button, I would use it.

The Bible says, and the dragon was wrought with a woman and went to make war with the remnant of our seed, which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

We are looking at the last church, the last church which is known as the remnant church.

For us to be able to identify, I asked for some, I wanted to write but I think somebody is still checking for that 1 to bring it.

Now I want you to understand something for us to understand what is the remnant church you need to book of Revelation chapter 12 and don't allow me to go too fast or too slow.

Okay Revelation chapter 12 we have got about 3 phases of the church.

Number 1 we go to Revelation chapter 12 just for us remember we are trying to get to Revelation 12 verse 17 how do we come up with the Church of God or the 7 dead which is being the remnant Church of the Bible prophecy how do we come up to that okay reading from the book of Revelation chapter 12 17 he says and the dragon with the dragon Satan was wrought with the woman who is a woman is the church and meant to went to make war with the remnant of her seed which are those ones the ones that keep the commandments of God number 1 and number 2 what do they have okay the testimony of Jesus I know sometimes we normally confuse it with Revelation 14 verse 12 which says in the faith of Jesus okay the 1 of Jesus it's It's an identifying mark of the remnant church, all right?

Why is it important for us to know these things?

It's because as we near the end of this earth's history, the devil will work in such a way that he would confuse the people of God because they do not study the Bible.

There are so many currents that are coming into the church today, which will cause you to say, I think I'm in the wrong church.

I've actually been noticing some people who are actually moving straight from the church joining some other churches.

They simply said I think we were actually duped to be in this church.

But I want you to understand that we are a Bible best Bible best church.

If you look at Revelation 12, Revelation chapter 12 verse 1 to 3, can somebody read very fast?

Okay, Revelation chapter 12, verses 1 to 3.

Oh, okay, okay, This is the problem we are used to.

Okay, if you are just looking at this you will understand that the beginning of this chapter it tells us about the church that is pregnant with Christ.

And then the church gives birth to Christ and the dragon, the devil, pagan Rome tries to kill Jesus Christ through Herod.

And then during that time, the next thing is that then the child was actually caught up to heaven, caught up to the throne of God, right?

This is talking about Jesus Christ in the year AD 31, when he finally went up to heaven.

From there, we leave this 1, we go to verse 6.

The woman fled into the wilderness right?

Where she had the plates prepared by God, yes?

Now, this is now jumping, we are now getting into another phase of the Bible prophecy where we find that the church after the devil has failed to get hold of Jesus Christ, then Christ escapes to heaven, the devil says okay fine I'm now going to be troubling the church.

Babylon is Fallen

Allow me to first of all read, before we can go to the book of Revelation chapter 14.

Let's go to the book Testimonies to Ministers, pages 114, Testimonies to Ministers.

And please, if you have got your pen and the paper, just write these things down because we do not have enough time to be able to cover a lot of information.

I enjoyed myself yesterday when I came into this building and I found my brother busy presenting the message about the history of the Bible and the history of the church and that was beautiful.

I remember him coming to me says, you know what?

I'm going to be talking about this topic and this topic What do you think about I said, you know what just go ahead What the world is going to be leading you let the world lead you and what the world is going to lead me let him do that because all the time the Lord is his special way of communicating his message to his people amen so I want you to understand that everything that you know say it out amen everything that you know that is truth that that is proven to be truth You know it's according to the Bible and the spirit of prophecy.

Let's go to the book Testimonies to Ministers.

And we are still talking about how can we become 1.

And so my message as I'm talking to you is this it is very important what doctrine you have it's not only 1 in hope but it's also 1 in 1 in doctrine so if the doctrine is wrong then we normally say the application will become wrong and if the application is wrong then the next thing is that you will not be able to stand the test I will give you an example for that for example my brother what's your name?

Daniel, right Let me just give you an example.

Daniel, please can you give me your phone?

Okay, thank you very much, you can sit down.

Daniel, you know what, I play an accordion.

Please, may you jump to Romania and come back before we can finish up what we are doing here.

And then you bring my accordion to this place.

I've just asked him, please can you give me your phone and what did he do?

He already stood up to give me the phone.

Because he knew he can be able to do that.

But when I told him, please can you go and pick this accordion for me?

He did nothing and he smiled Are you following me?

In other words, why is because in his mind in his head the message is this you know what it's impossible all right I want to give this message also to the servant that with this while living in this time if you say to live a Christian life is impossible you look at God and simply smile and do nothing Are you following what I'm talking about?

Because if you know it is possible, you begin to stand up and you begin to do something.

But if say it is impossible, then what is going to happen is that you will not do anything.

OK, so it's very important what type of information you put in your mind, because that is going to be affecting your action okay remember we said yesterday I'm reading from testimonies to ministers page 114 look at what is written here it says here when the books of Daniel and Revelation are better understood believers will have an entirely different religious experience can somebody say amen believers will have an entirely different religious experience.

Believers will have an entirely different religious experience.

They will be given such glimpses of the open gates of heaven that heart and mind will be impressed with the character that all must develop, character that all must what?

Okay, in order to realize the blessedness which is to be the reward of the pure in heart.

So I want us to understand this my brothers and sisters.

When we read the prophecies, which is normally not the case.

It's because we feel that, you know what, if you read the prophecies you will not be able to understand.

Go with me to the book of, I think it's Isaiah chapter 29.

Isaiah chapter 29, verses 11 and verses 12.

We are still dealing with the issue of Revelation chapter 14 Verse is 6 to verses 12, but now we are going to the book of Isaiah.

29 verses 11 and 12 where the Bible says here and the vision of all is become unto you as the word of the book that is what?

Okay which man deliver to me that is learned saying read this I pray thee and he said I cannot for it is sealed this is what the people talk about this what they say about the book of Daniel in the book of Revelation it is what it is sealed first of he says and the book is delivered to him that is not land saying read this I pray thee and he said I am NOT 1 okay here are the 2 reasons just why people do not want to start the prophecy.

It's because they say the book is sealed or I'm not clean.

And yet you should know Revelation chapter 22 verse 10 it says this book is 1.

In fact the book revelation itself it actually means that the book that is 1 that is revealed it is no longer sealed the book of Daniel the Bible says seal up the words of this book right until the time of the end which means that what was sealed the part of the book that was sealed was after the last portion of The prophecies that we find actually thought it was part of the prophecies that are written in the book of Daniel chapter 8 And if you look at that that Daniel chapter 8 verses 14, right and then chapter 9 and then we come to verses 24 to verses 27.

That's up to 2, 300 days, and then the sanctuary shall be what?

Please, don't allow me to assume that you know what I'm talking about.

If you feel that I'm speaking Greek, just say, please, stop.

I'm not understanding what you're talking about.

So that we can be able to understand it's I'm not here to download what I have I'm here to be communicating the message together with you I mean okay let's go down so and if you read verses 18 and 19 of chapter 29 it says here and in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book and the eyes of the blind shall see out of the obscurity and out of darkness this 19 the meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy 1 of Israel.

Okay so we go back again to the book of Revelation chapter 14 verses 6 and 7 and I saw another angel flying the midst of heaven having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth to every nation kindred tongue and people saying with a loud voice fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment is come worship him who made the heaven the earth the sea and the fountains of waters right I would want us to understand this that as you we now understand what it means to fear God that is to hate evil that is depart from evil that is to not to let anything to be standing between you and God you are prepared to give God how many things everything okay Nothing that you can be able to say, you know what?

This 1, I like it so much to the extent that I can't give it to God.

Don't ask God what you are not prepared to give him, right?

If you're not prepared to give it back to him.

He was a man who was upright, was righteous, was perfect.

It's because he knew his love for God would not allow him to be able to love the world.

His love for God would not allow him to be in certain places.

It's because his relationship with God is so close to the extent that he would say you know what I would rather miss out in anything else than for me to miss out on God.

You remember the statement that we read yesterday, Testament 5 page 147, which says death before dishonor, okay.

You would rather die than commit a single sin this is supposed to be the motto for every Christian every Christian must have this motto I would rather die than sin okay and we are saying fear God the Bible says fear God and keep his commandment for this is the whole duty of man.

So this is our duty to fear God and keep his what?

Now as we go down, I want us to clearly understand, why does God say that?

Allow me to tell you this, my brothers and sisters.

The Mark of the Beast

I want to say to you, my brothers, my sisters, we are dealing with 1 of the most important lessons that has ever been studied before, which we would need to understand why is because we are living in the last days.

The Bible says the book of Revelation chapter 14 verses 6 and 7, And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Do what?

Fear God, and give glory to Him, for the hour of his judgment is come.

Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters.

And the second angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, for she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of a fornication." And we discovered yesterday as we are dealing with this that you know Babylon is talking about the apostate Protestantism with the mother Rome being the mother.

We read that 1 from the book of Revelation chapter 17 where we look at 1 of the 7 angels having the 7 vials of God he comes and then he simply said let me tell you about the judgment that is going to take place upon that great whole that seated upon many waters and he carried me out into the wilderness and I saw a woman riding on a scarlet colored what?

And 10 horns and then we discovered that this was talking about in a woman in the Bible represents what?

It is a church and also a beast in the Bible represents what?

Okay I am alone, I am alone, I'm alone, I'm alone.

All right let's have a look at it once again.

I want to make sure that you are together with me, you understand what I'm talking about.

Okay we are saying a woman in the Bible represents what?

It is the church and then also the beast represents what?

Okay That's according to the book of Daniel chapter 7 verses 23 the fourth beast that thou sawest is the fourth kingdom that is going to rise upon the earth.

So the fourth beast is actually the fourth kingdom.

Now when we are talking about Revelation chapter 14, there is something that I did not give you yesterday in the book of Revelation chapter 14 verse 8 where the Bible says the second angel followed them saying with a loud voice Babylon is fallen is fallen right and she has made how many nations all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of a fornication we said okay Babylon we identified as the papacy and also the daughters meaning the apostate Protestantism are we still together not only that we also discovered that when they apostate or when the Protestants were rising up out of Rome, they were pure churches, amen?

They were pure churches, but we can only be able to call them a hallowed when they begin to act like the mother, all Right?

So we are heading towards the time when finally Protestants will rise up and we show the same spirit of the papacy that it had before.

Okay, now let's go to the book of Revelation chapter 14.

I would want you to be together with me in this 1.

Please today we are just going to do some marathon on this thing because we do not have the time.

Revelation chapter 14 verses 9 and 10 and 11 and the Bible says here, it says here, and the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the presence of the Lamb and the smoke of the atonement ascended up forever and ever and they have no rest day nor night worship the beast and his image and Whosoever receiveth his mark of his name.

Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

The end of the third angel's message is not about the beast.

It's about those people who are going to have victory over the beast.

But there's something that I want us to understand here.

The Bible says for those, the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the what?

Which means that the final battle is going to be about worship is that clear which means that it's not going to be about the vaccines even though I'm not vaccinated but it has nothing to do with that I mean it could be used for something like that.

It has nothing to do with the issue of the big electron microscope, which is going to be used wherever.

It has nothing to do with the issue of the barcodes.

It has nothing to do with the issue of the passports.

It has nothing to do with the issue of the number plates.

I remember somebody saying that somebody went to buy some food and then when he went to buy some food he discovered that when he was receiving the change, he received the change of about something like $6.66 and says, oh please, let me be able to buy something else so that I don't get the mark of the beast.

So I want you to understand this, when you are a child of God and you read the prophecy, all the time remember to follow the prophecy exactly as what it says.

Sometimes Adventists we have got a problem of trying to reinterpret the prophecy, especially when we see the events taking place.

We begin like right now if you go to where I am right now in Romania, you know some people will begin to try to say okay there is Russia that is fighting Ukraine.

Let's check what is written in the Bible and they try to find ways so that they can be able to maneuver their way of prophetic interpretation into the Mark of the Beast.

Because once you begin to do that, when the real Mark of the Beast will come, the people will simply say, hey, this is not the 1.

We know you guys, you have been lying all over.

Okay, so it is very important for us to be solid on the ground for us to understand this We need to stay on it that says the Lord.

Okay If you look at this for you to be able to know what the mark of the beast is you need to understand what the beast is is that clear because you cannot be able to that's the reason why I said the vaccine is not okay why is because if if the vaccine is it means that the 1 who produced the vaccine has to be the beast are you following me so if that is the beast will begin to reinterpret the whole prophecy okay because the beast has to be having certain qualifications or qualities or what you know English much better you got the other side what I'm talking about okay there are some qualities that are given there or some what you call them characteristics thank you very much okay now if you look at this the Bible says anyone who is going to worship the beast the next thing is he is going to receive the word Okay the 1 who is going to worship the beast what is he going to receive?

He is going to be tormented in the fire and brimstone.

The 1 who worships the beast, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, the 1 who worships the beast has the problem with God, is that clear?

Okay, now let's go back again into the book of Revelation chapter 13 verses 15 and 16.

Revelation chapter 13 verses 15 and verses 16 it says, and he had the power to give the life unto the image of the beast that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed now we are looking at it once again there are those people who do not worship the beast they have got a problem with the beast I don't know whether you understood what I'm talking about.

There are people who worship the beast, they have a problem with God and there are people who do not worship the beast, they have a problem with the beast.

So whichever way you are going to be able to choose there is going to be polarization at the end of it all.

It's either you're going to be with the beast or you're going to be with the Lord.

Whom are you going to be able to worship?

Whom are you going to give your allegiance to?

Are you going to be paying, are you going to be saying, I belong to God or you belong to the beast?

And by the way, the only, the best way of worshipping, or the best way of worshipping is actually, the highest form of worship is obedience.

So if you worship the beast, it means you obey the beast.

If you worship God, it means you obey God.

So those ones who obey God, okay, those ones who obey God are actually sure it by keeping the Sabbath because first first angels message says worship him who made the heaven the earth the sea and the what okay I just want we close and we open we close it okay fine please So I would want you to understand this.

We are coming to a time whereby the people of God are going to be killed for their faith.

It's because they worship God and when they worship God they keep the Sabbath of the fourth commandment and because of that they are going to be killed why is because it is the Sabbath commandment that shows us that God is the creator and the devil does not want us to be reminded of God being the creator.

And so our duty is actually to be able to say, I'm going to stand firm.

For you to stand firm for that time, you need to start standing firm today.

Young people, those people who have got exams that are coming on the Sabbath, simply say, no, I better lose my school.

I better lose my education than for me to be able to break the Sabbath and be able to say you know what I'm breaking this up so I can be able to get a degree you are already on a line to worship the beast okay those people are forced to come to school.

By the way, I just just a small, I don't know whether it is important, a testimony.

1989, I was just a small, boy who was trying to become a teacher and then during that time I was asked to go and be able to worship I mean to go and work on the Sabbath I said no when I said no it was my first time to receive salary and to have at least some money into my pocket my first salary in my life from a poor family and now I've got salary in my pocket and and and when they say that I knew that now I'm going to be taken out of the place to cut the long story short you know I said I said no and then God visited the head of the school and he asked the question why are you fighting with this boy and and that was just the beginning of the journey and I wanted to understand that God will stand only with those people who are going to be standing for him.

For us to understand what the beast is we have got to go back to the book of Revelation chapter 4 verse 18 verses 1 to 10 which is the first beast and then Revelation chapter 13 verses 11 to 18 which is the second word the second beast the first beast the Bible says here let's just go together I'm going to be rushing down together with you he says and I stood upon the sea the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea by the way what does the sea represent?

Mouths, youths, and people and tongues and people right that's Revelation chapter 17 verses 15 okay thank you very much and then it says I saw a beast rising up which means that the beast is a what?
