In Scripture, Jesus told us that we would know when His coming is near by watching the signs of the times. While many focus on wars, disasters, and global unrest, the Bible also points to a spiritual sign that is often overlooked—a growing movement toward religious and political unity described as having “one mind.”

One Mind

All right, well, Happy Sabbath, everybody.

How many of you enjoy that special music, amen?

We want to thank you so much for coming to the Hot Springs Seventh-day Adventist Church, and whether you're joining us online or whether you're seated here, I want to thank you so much for coming.

I counted 1 of the greatest privileges on earth to be able to share the Bible, and I'm so thankful I get to do that for a living.

In a couple of weeks, I'll be heading over to San Antonio to do an evangelistic series.

And as an evangelist, 1 of my favorite subjects in all the Bible, obviously, is prophecy.

It is something that I think about daily.

It is something that I research daily, and it's something that I'm really passionate about.

And 1 thing that we have been told to do as a church is to prophesy again.

And so 1 of the mandates that we have from God himself as a church is to make sure we tell others about the soon coming of Jesus Christ.

Well, this morning, our subject is entitled 1 Mind.

There is a battle over our minds and I think a lot of us really don't understand the ramifications about this intense battle that is waging over our mind.

And so this morning, as we get into a prophetic message, 1 that I hope that will be relevant for each and every 1 of you.

I just want to invite you to please bow your heads for a word of prayer.

Our Father which are in heaven, I want to pray with all my heart that you would please be the author and speaker.

I pray that you would please, Lord, tailor make this message for young and old in this place.

Father, I thank you so much for everyone that participated in today's service.

And I pray Lord for any of our visitors that you continue to bless them too.

And now Father, I pray with all my heart that you would please remove all distractions, that you would somehow Father speak through a poor, sinful mortal like me.

Please Lord, I just pray that Jesus would be lifted up and that all of us will be drawn closer to you.

For I ask this prayer in Jesus' name, amen.

All right, you all know that I love interaction, so you guys warm up your voices real quick and get ready.

I hope your seatbelts are fastened because this message is going to be eye-opening to say the least.

What is 1 of the greatest signs that we have in the Bible that Jesus is soon to come?

What is 1 of the greatest signs that we have in Scripture that indicates, hey guys, get ready, Jesus is about to come.

Now, this is the sign that a lot of people don't talk about.

And so I think today's message is going to be eye-opening for many of us.

But what is 1 of the signs that the Bible says we need to be aware of that Jesus is soon to come?

All right, I can't hear anything out there.

Okay, that's a good sign for sure, but that's not the 1 I'm thinking of.

Ah, the gospel going to all the world is 1 of the main signs that that is absolutely correct.

You all are right, but there's another 1.

If you're listening on audio, you want to make sure you tune in on the video because we have slides, we have a lot of verses, quotes, and we have visuals.

So I'm gonna give you this clue, pay close attention to this thing.

Something's gonna happen to it, but I want you to be aware of that this is depicting 1 of the greatest signs that Jesus is soon to come.

What is the greatest sign, 1 of the greatest signs that Jesus is soon to come?

Any of you caught it from that imagery there, That little video, that little graphic motion, motion graphic.

This is a Daniel 2 basic prophecy that we oftentimes talk about.

The question is, when is Jesus going to come?

In the midst of this prophecy, the very last thing that you see happening is a stone that's cut out with no human hand hits this great image.

I want you to notice what the Bible says in respect to this.

Listen to what it says in Daniel chapter 2, verse 44.

And in the days of these kings, the God of heaven will what?

Set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed.

Okay, so the Bible says that during the time of these kings, so something's gonna happen.

We're gonna figure out who these kings are, but the Bible describes in the days of these kings, God is gonna set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed.

So in other words, the setting up of the kingdom is God coming down and bringing us up to glory.

And the Bible says that's gonna happen in the days of these kings.

We're looking at Daniel chapter 2, starting in verse 41.

Notice what the Bible says, Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be what everybody?

So the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.

As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men, but they will not what?

Adhere or stick to 1 another, just as the iron does not mix with clay.

And in the days of these kings, the God of heaven will set up a what?

All right, so when we look at the great image that we just saw right there, we noticed that the head of gold is there that represents the kingdom of Babylon.

We have the chest and arms of silver that represents the kingdom of Medo-Persia.

We got the belly of bronze, which represents the kingdom of?

Greece, then you got the legs of iron, which represents?

Rome, and then you get the feet that's mixed with iron and clay.

Now the Bible describes, this is describing Rome becoming divided.

The kingdom of Rome becomes divided and it gets split up into 10 separate kingdoms all over Europe.

Now, friends, I want you to notice something.

The Bible says in this state of division, these kings from all over are gonna try to unite once again to have a kingdom that rules the world.

And so in Bible prophecy, I want you to notice, we're not at the head, we're not the arms of chest and silver, the belly or the legs.

And I like to tell people, we are at the toenails of Bible prophecy, and we are about to be clipped off.

There is a sign there that I think many of us have missed.

So, you have this, the feet mixed with iron and clay.

So we know that Rome is there, but then you get this clay within the kingdom of Rome.

Now, the Bible describes that obviously the iron represents the kingdom of Rome, but what is the clay?

Now, you need to pay close attention to this, Okay?

Do not miss this or you're gonna miss everything.

The feet mixed, the feet that has iron and clay, what does the clay represent?

The Bible says in Jeremiah 18 verse 6, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter?' "'Says the Lord.

"'Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, "'so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.'" So the clay represents who?
