And Co-host tonight and producer. The Mighty Andrew. That's right, a special Sunday Mighty Andrew. Yeah, boy, so. I know that you You put it in and and you fought to get this spot to be on here and and you beat the competition out.

And now here you are, producing this programme. You're a hero, Andrew. I know it. We got to get into hey, listen, the title of this story of this message tonight. is that day shall not come except there come a falling away first.

Yeah. There's things happening, Andrew, that the vast majority of people in this world, in this country, are absolutely clueless about. And w as we go through this We'll take a close look at what I'm talking about. But uh here There's big, big changes that have been taking place. right in front of people, but people don't realize it.

There I again I would say maybe one percent of the people in this nation actually Have some idea of what is really taking place when it deals with. the Church and the Faith and the Return of the Lord. We're going to start tonight in Second Thessalonians chapter two, verse one.

Now we beseech you, brethren, By the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, And by our gathering together unto him.

Now When he's talking about this, he's referring back to the previous chapter where he was referring to the rapture of the church taking place. And here Where he was saying Uh talking about the falling away, the the great Uh Well now that's where we're going to get into a very interesting word here. And that word that we're going to get into tonight is the apostasia, the apostasia. And so He says That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or troubled neither by spirit nor by word, nor by letter as from us that the day of Christ is at hand. Andy, do you know the difference between the day of Christ and the day of the Lord?

No.

Okay. Whenever uh it speaks of the day of Christ, it always refers to redemption or salvation. The day of the Lord always refers to judgment. And the rapture of the church is the day of Christ. The day of the Lord.

Uh is The tribulation period. For example I'll just jump you over here too. Uh first Thessalonians chapter three and Read you, starting in verse sixteen. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout and with a voice of the archangel. And the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

This is the day of Christ. This is the day of the Christ. then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and we shall be with ever ever be with the Lord. wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Now So often Andy. Uh you can have a word that can have parallel definitions. And in other words, parallel app applications. And that's what we have with this word here Apostasia. Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first.

And the men of sin be revealed to the son of perdition. No.

The occasion for this letter from the Apostle Paul is. that there were some of those there in Thessalonica, Yeah. That had They had, under a severe persecution, a number of Christians end up missing, you know, just disappearing. and there were some that were writing Uh letters Saying that the rapture of the church had taken place. That the rapture had taken place.

And this is what Paul is saying here. that ye be soon not shaken of mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit nor by word. nor by letter from us, as the day of Christ is at hand, okay?

So he's saying it hasn't taken place, it's yet to come. The day of Christ denies the rapture of the Church. Let no man deceive you. By any means. For that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first.

and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. No.

Here What you have Um Is this word apostasia? That's the falling away. Apo means, if you break it up, apo means in the Greek. Away from the word I po away from And then Stasis means standing. In other words, standing away from.

Okay, so. Here What it's referring to. is standing away from Now when you have Yeah. When it's referring to the great apostasy, the great apostasy and this falling away. That means they're standing away from the truth.

From the The doctrine from the teaching of the Word of God. From the Gospel once delivered, as it says over here, as we're going to take a look here In just a minute.

Well, in fact, let me. Let me jump over there real quick. Uh Two. Jude. Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ and called.

Mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave diligence to write unto you of common salvation, It was needful for me to write into you And exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men corrupt, unawares who were Before of old, ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men. turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord, God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

So. Here Uh he's talking about Holding fast. Holding fast to the common salvation. Do you know what the common salvation means? No, not off the top of my head.

Well, common salvation means. We all get saved the same way.

Well, I guess how do we how do we get saved?

Well, what what's the first thing we have to do to get saved? Sinner's prayer. Right, we have to repent, first of all.

Now, you've heard of the Word of Faith movement, right? Yes.

Well, they teach, no, you know, that repentance is not necessary. of our salvation. But That's exactly the opposite. of what the Bible teaches. Who was the first one that came preaching repentance?

Uh Mm Big John? No.

It was back in the days of Noah. Noah preached repentance for a hundred and twenty years. And then Well You had when you talked about Big John came preaching repentance. And then the Lord Jesus came preaching.

So they all came. preaching repentance Uh And what did Jesus say? Jesus said, Repent or perish. Repent or perish.

So does that sound to you like repentance is not necessary for salvation. This is where Joe Oosteen and these these people and that um Word of faith movement they teach. But biblical literacy is extreme today, so the vast majority of people don't realize that.

So when we go back over to Uh 2 Thessalonians 2. He says Let no man deceive you by any means, in that day shall not come, except that they come a falling away first. and the man shall sin be revealed of of son of perdition.

Now, Here you have the f the apostasius the falling away from the faith. the falling away from the faith, where they no longer hold to sound doctrine they deny sound doctrine. But at the same time was referring to the rapture of the church. The rapture of the church, what does this mean? Standing away where it says standing away.

means you're standing away from the earth, that the saints When they are wrecked when they were called up and risen, they're standing away from the earth.

so it's got a parallel meaning the same word. Um has Two definite meanings there, and we find that right here together here. He goes on and he says Uh But the man of sent be revealed, the son of perdition. That's the Antichrist is gonna be revealed, okay.

Now some of us will know Uh ahead of time Who he is because God has given that, okay? given us that ability to und understand that. But the vast majority of people will not realize who the Antichrist is until the rapture has taken place. Then he goes on, who opposes and exalted himself above all that is called God. and is worshipped.

so that He as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing Himself that He is God. Uh That's what the Antichrist is going to do. He's going to come and defile the temple. The next temple that's built. And so And believe me The Lord Jesus comes, He He builds His own temple.

No.

I wonder they were.

Now there are those that that say that the The rapture of the church has already taken place. The tribulation period has already taken place. And they say that do you know what a preterist is? No.

Okay, that's someone who believes that Back in 70 AD, Titus The Roman Emperor came and and when he defiled the temple, when he killed All the Christians And he slaughtered all the Jews. And he and he defiled the temple, offering up sow. That that was the tribulation period. The big, big, big problem with that, okay. is that So many uh prophecies had to be fulfilled.

that were not fulfilled at that time. with the tribulation period. And so In fact, There are those all millennias to teach that we are in the Millennial Kingdom today, which is absolutely lunacy. You see, Uh because First of all, The tribulation period has not taken place, the church has not been raptured. The Lord Jesus has not returned.

He is not sitting on his throne and is in Jerusalem And the world is not at peace. All of those things had to have happened. And those are just a few. of the things that didn't happen, but these people hold to This this false belief, okay. Yeah.

Here I want to go over and take a look at some of the signs of the times. That we'll see.

Well For example, today Did you know that Biblical literacy is is far greater than it's ever been. Did you know what's happening when I said things are happening right under your your nose and people? Have no clue. Ugh. Two things are happening systematically right now.

Yeah. And that that is A rapid, rapid Decline of church attendance. And so, in fact, to give you an example of what I'm talking about. uh every since twenty twenty every year Uh The Baptist Southern Baptists have lost around five hundred thousand the papal per year from their denomination. The Lutherans went from in the last thirty years from eight million people.

Down to three. Million people. In fact, the Lutherans are losing 200 churches or closing every year. Oh. the Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Then the others.

Protestant denominations, Andy. are losing Six thousand churches six thousand churches per year. Wow.

Okay. No.

Even with their very, very aggressive recruitment. The Roman Catholic Church continues to lose people in large large numbers, and They're running all these ads on T V and having all of these things, these commercials they're running to get these movie stars. try to recruit people, but they still keep losing people in large numbers.

So this is the falling away. This is called falling away. But there's something else that's happening simultaneously. Um And that is There's like a movement that is being led by the young men by the young men uh in this country today. And that's uh a moving back towards Christianity.

They want to come back towards God and country. God. country and family of the Conservative. Uh so they're moving farther to the right. While at the same time the young women are moving farther to the left.

Do you know why that is? No.

When I went to to college Andy, about seventy or more, seventy percent or more. Of the students were men, were male, and maybe thirty percent female. Today that's turned completely around. The men today are going more to more to trade schools, you know, to learn trades. technicians and so on and so forth.

where the women are going to college But Harvard and Yale and Sanford, These places have turned into great gates of hell. I mean they're hardcore Marxist indoctrination centers. through cultural communism.

So these young women are going in And there being Dumbed down. They're being dumbed down. They're not being. educated they're being indoctrinated. They all want to be lawyers Uh and they all want to get in the system, okay.

uh and they become Anti God, their Um The point of communism is godlessness, it's Satanism, okay? uh they want they're moving towards Um Having less children. It's more of this uh a mindset of a me, my, and I mindset, okay. No.

Here At the same time, like I said, There's this movement amongst the young men for revival, And that's a really good thing. The problem of it is. It's not founded upon the the rock. It's got no real hard core foundation. Instead of, do you know what when the Bible said, I just had read to you over there, the contending.

For the faith once delivered, a faith once delivered, okay. But Scripture says that we are too. Hold fast, hold fast. to the traditions of the Apostles. That means What we are to do here is to to continued being one of those churches that continue Okay.

The traditions held down through the centuries, from the first century.

Now Do you have people and we've mentioned this uh many times in here I talked about uh when in the apostate church like Rick Warren What he did, he tried to reverse that. Uh he tried to Tell people, first of all, you got to change. In other words, it's about numbers. Get as many numbers as you can, many bodies, warm bodies in. Whatever venue you have to use, use that venue.

This is where. He comes out with his purpose-driven life, was right from the pit of hell. I mean, right from the pit of hell. And Here He's telling you, get rid of the hymns. The first thing you do, once you take over a church, Uh and they would actually go and have meetings in Saddleback there.

They would give workshops on how to get rid of the founders of the church those that founded the church, get rid of them and then you can change things. You want to get rid of the old hymnals, get rid of the old music, bring in more modern rock type music. uh and get rid of dressing, do you want to d change the way you dress? In other words, And then he, and if that weren't bad enough, and we were showing and telling people, you see what he's doing here, okay? He's doing exactly what Scripture tells you not to do.

But then he came up with Krizlam. trying to combine the teachings of Allah with the teachings of Christ. And so here As we're seeing this Then this new movement by the young men it wishes good But is is founded More on emotion. It's more founded there's a lot of emotion and that's good. Uh and But it needs to be founded bore on the Bible, getting back to the Word of God.

going back to the traditions of the apostles. and and holding fast to the word of God. The Bible tells you in the Old Testament to make sure your feet find the path to the house of the Lord. In the New Testament, not to forsake the assembling of yourself together in the house of God. That's not an elective.

That's you know that's That's uh a flat out Command a God. And that this is where the these young people, instead of going out to all these big rallies and that, They need to go back To what worked to beginning And that's going back to the traditions of the apostles holding fast to the faith once delivered. And so Here. We want to take a look at some of what has happened. The cause So much of the problems you have, and with that, we we go over to Romans chapter 1.

And in Romans chapter 1. We take a look at the size now. All of these Characteristics and attributes have been around for a while. But not to the extent that they are today, nowhere near this. Yeah.

Uh Believe me, believe me Oh. In my lifetime When I was a young man The things that our people are doing today would have put them in prison. They would have put them in prison, okay? Uh Here Mm-hmm. Especially when it comes to abortion.

or pedophilia they'd have gone to prison t to day. They hardly get a a slap on the hand. Were they for nothing? uh they get rewarded for killing babies. In fact, Here Did you know now in three States?

They've they've signed legislation where you can kill a child up to twenty eight days after it's born. in Washington, California, and Min Min uh Minnesota. And uh from what I hear, Uh New Jersey has got legislation pending. In Romans chapter 1, verse 24, Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves Who changed the truth of God Into a lie. and worship and serve the Creator more than the Christ.

who is blessed forever. Amen. And here He goes on to say For this cause God gave them up to vile affections for even the women did change the natural use, unto that which is against nature. Today Half of the these women pastors, so called pastors, uh in these apostate churches are lesbians. They're married to other lesbians.

Okay. United Church of Christ, which is the church of the Antichrist today. And likewise also The men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burn in their lust one toward another, men with the men of working that which is unseemly. receiving in themselves the recompense of the error which was meet. Um We just recently had some guy call and say that, um Why do you preach against LGBTQ, the sin of sodomy.

Why is that such a big deal? when the Lord Jesus never ever preached on the subject of sodomy. Um Do you believe that? Absolutely not. Yeah.

Let me ask you a question. In the scripture, in the Old Testament and the New Testament, Whenever The individual Where the word Lord was used. Which person of the Trinity Was Uh Was that referring to? The father, right? Wrong.

The Lord was always the second person of the Trinity, Jesus, who was always referred to as the Lord, Lord of Lord, King of Kings. In the Old Testament that He was Christ the Creator, He was the Lord, no. I'll give you a hint, wherever it referred to the father, What do you think it He was how old do you think he was referred to? The Almighty As the father.

Okay. the Father or the Ancient of Days or the Almighty yeah. And so But the Lord Jesus, whenever it was referred to as the Lord, it was the Lord. And you had the Natural order. that you have the Trinity when the father gave the marching orders, the son carried him out, and the Holy Ghost provided the power from Genesis to Revelation Starting with creation.

Starting with creation, Jesus was the creator. That's referred to throughout Scripture. that Christ was the Creator, okay? And Now there are those that teach well, yach. Christ was the Creator.

And he was the Son of God, but he wasn't God the Son. But the Father just gave him the power to do the creation. What's the problem with that? There's a there's a major major problem with a hat. And you'll find it if you go over to the Gospel of John.

And in the Gospel of John, chapter 1. Here's what we read. You ready? In the beginning was the word. That word is logos.

That was one of over a dozen names. Just in the Gospel of John that Jesus was referred to, okay? He was referred to as the word which is the logos. He was referred to as the light. He was referred to the only begotten.

He was referred to the Okay. The Lord, the Lamb. the master, the king, The Son of God, the Son of Man. Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, No, that's all just on this one gospel. But it says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

So All things that were made were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.

Now, So it tells you That in the beginning he was with God, meaning he was with the Father and the Holy Ghost, and he was God, meaning he was the second person. of the Godhead. And so those people that make these statements. You know, it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, I can tell you.

So we go back to Robins, and he says this Here And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to reprobate minds to do things which were not convenient. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness. full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity whispers back biters, haters of God, despiteful, proud boasters, inventors of evil things disobedient to parents. without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable and unmerciful. We see that in today society.

in a greater way than you've ever seen it before. those on the left Uh how recently they've been coming out And Angry because all of the attempts of the assassination onto Donald Trump, President Trump failed. Did you notice that? Yeah. Andy?

Yeah. Do you notice how they were celebrating When Charlie Kirk was murdered, how they celebrated a all over there. It's disgusting. That uh When they get back in power, I mean They they've come right out and said a Chucky Schumer Ayak, all of 'em when they get back in power Well, what they're going to do is they're going to first of all They're going to not only impeach Trump, they're going to send Trump to prison and his whole family. They've come right out and said this, that this is their goal.

and and J D Vance and his family. and all of the mega people, the home schoolers, the pro lifers, Uh all of these people, they wanna all the Christians they want to send to prison. They really want to kill us, is what they like to do.

Okay. And yet The vast majority of people say, Well, gee, I you hate to even think You hate to even think of that, that that's that we're there in America.

Well, We are. That's the problem. We are there. If they could kill us, they would kill us. this communist indoctrination, okay?

Um They can't. The difference with us and other countries is. We're armed, we're too well armed here in this country. for that. This is why the Democrats are always trying to of pass laws to restrict and to disarm the American people.

No, that's a reality. Here it says, Who knowing? The last verse, the judgment of God. that they which commit such things are worthy of death, Not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. In other words, These people that will deny it, do you remember when?

When Obama was running for President, He came out and I remember being in saddleback with Rick Warren. And he said, That Uh His definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. The marriage can only be between a man and a woman. On the day he said that, I said, listen, If he gets elected, that will change the very day. If he gets elected with both him and Vic Warren on the very day That Obama got elected, they changed their definition.

Now, marriage could you could be same-sex marriage. Boy, that sure didn't hit NBC, ABC, or CBS, did it? And so But that's what what Obama is saying here. Who knowing the judgment of God, they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do they do the same, But have pleasure in them that do them. I had a woman on this program one time.

She ran at one time she ran four five abortion mills. in Texas. And then apparently chi chi got saved. I talked to her. And she told me one day, she said, Whenever you hear these women say that.

Personally, I could never have an abortion. But I won't judge those that will that do. She said that's shop talk. She said, You can bet. when you hear these women say that, that they've had at least one, they've killed at least one baby.

And uh I never thought of that, but Um I'll take her word for it because She was in the baby killing. Business.

Now I want to go over to Second Timothy chapter 3.

Okay. Now something very important about this. Second Timothy chapter three. We read this know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Okay, do you know what the significance of of that is where it says the last days Andy? No.

Well, it's referring to the d definite time of the the very last Of the sixth dispensation period. That's what we're living in today, the sixth dispensation period. And now, only two places, right here and over in Peter, does it refer to another place it talks about in later times, in later days, or in times, okay. But here it refers specifically to the last days. Then It says, you're going to see these things, okay?

In other words, These the these characteristics of these that you're going to see here are going to be much more prevalent. in these days than they have been previously. And and believe me, I know this because in my lifetime In my lifetime I've seen this. Yeah, and and listen. In my lifetime If you wanted to see a woman with tattoos when I was a kid.

If you wanted to see a woman with tattoos, you'd have to go to the f to the circus. Today, I can't believe what I see out there. Uh you know uh some of these these women which were these young girls which would have been so pretty. are covered, okay. with tattoos.

If you would have heard And no, listen. When I was a kid Men still went to jail for taking God's name in vain. They were still being arrested for taking God's name in vain. To day it's it's done common. And now They're dropping the F-bomb.

all over the place.

Now you never You would have never heard that. They would have gone to jail immediately. By doing that when I was growing up as a young man, even when I was in the service. Um you you'd never heard Especially from women. You never heard that kind of today.

I I mean, it's just they're Well, like P U the view, like those Five old nasty women on that view They use some foul language.

Now It says, For men shall be lovers of their own selves, Covetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents and unthankful and unholy. No.

If you noticed How When they have these things like they just had recently. With Hollywood these actors The so-called movie stars Have you noticed how much they love themselves? I mean, they really do love themselves.

Okay. Have you noticed some of these athletes out there today? They really do love themselves. Covetous boasters were seeing all of this Pride without natural affection, Andy, what is the most natural thing when it comes to human behavior, Um That you can think of. I have no idea where you're going, Pastor.

It's for a mother to want to protect her baby, even in the wild. even in the wild. Uh A mom grizzly bear will fight she will fight a male twice her size. She'll fight to the death to protect her cub. Uh a female lionist will fight even though she doesn't have a chance.

to the death to protect your cub from a male lioness, okay? lying out there. Even of the very same thing. Uh A mother wolf will fight to pr to to death to protect your pups. But to day in a good woman, a godly woman, a decent woman, would have fight my mother would have fought to the death.

My mother would have fought to the death to protect any of her children. And a decent and and godly woman would. But today so many of these w women They they're they just they kill their babies. I And the the wickedness is extraordinary. The wickedness is ex and the uncleanness.

is extraordinary. He goes on, traders hatey high-minded. lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness.

Now he's getting there into This is has an application especially to the apostate preachers of today. And the having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, From such turn away He's telling you to turn away from these apostate preaching for of this sort are they which creep into houses, And lead captive silly women, laden with sins, Led away with diverse lust.

Now, these houses, Andy, he's referring to, are church houses. That's where they met. That's where they held churches in houses. They called them church houses, okay? Ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

It's because they're never learning the truth. Uh it's like these young women now that are going to Oh. The college, they're getting indoctrinated, they want to become lawyers out there. Uh they want to send people to prison. I mean and and it's about greed, okay.

Uh and and today too also. They don't want motherhood.

Now, as Janice and Jambreys, those were two false magicians. We still Moses.

So do these also resist The truth Men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith. These are these apostate pastors that you have out there today. These are the Al Sharptons, for was a very good example. But here's the good news, Andy. But they shall proceed no further, for their folly shall be manifest.

Unto all men, as there also was. We're seeing this right now, especially big time. As we were just telling you how many These apostate churches are losing. People are leaving in large, large numbers. But the very same thing like Joe Osteen With his twenty thousand seat, Uh Well, I guess they call it a church, even though he's not even an ordained minister.

Did you know that? No, I did not. No, he's not even an ordained minister. But with a twenty thousand seat auditorium, Recently they've been getting four or five thousand people in there. The place is almost empty.

Some of these mega churches I just was reading about one laid seventy million dollars in debt. seventy million dollars in debt. They build all this and then all of a sudden Do you know when the the big Exodus th uh, where it really started moving rapidly. It's is D during the COVID. During the COVID, when people were forbidden to going to church, Yeah.

When it was lifted and they were allowed to go back to church, The attendance had dropped by more than thirty percent. And it's been going down since then. And so Now, why is all of this? What is what are we seeing here? That takes us over To Daniel chapter twelve, verses one through four.

And at that time Shall Michael stand up, the great prince, which stands for the children of thy people. And there shall be a treble Our time of trouble such as never since there was a nation, even to the same time, and at that time thy people shall Be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

So What he's referring to here Andy Is the time of the Great Tribulation period? Uh the last half of Daniel's seventieth week is what he's referring to. Following the placement of the abomination of desolation in the temple's holy place. No.

Michael Uh the archangel He was Uh the second highest rated ranked agel Lucifer was the highest and Michael was behind him. But Michael was assigned to the nation of Israel. He's the the angel. assigned to the high angel to the nation of Israel. He goes on to say.

Again. At that time Michael who'll stand in the grey prince Which standeth for the children of thy people, and there shall be a time of trouble which never was since the beginning there was a nation. Even to the same time, And at that time people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the Book of Life. No And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awaken, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

So what is he talking about there? When they are wakened to what? The rapture of the Church when When they are awakened To everlasting life. What about those that are to everlasting contempt. What happens to those when they are awaken.

Well, they go to torment. They go to a place called hell. Until and that'll be there for a thousand years. until the way thrown judgment. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament.

And they that Turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever. those are the saints that are given their glorified bodies And during this millennial kingdom. But now here is the key verse, Andy. The K-verse.

Now listen carefully, okay? See if you You know what he's talking about here. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the worrs and seal the book even to the time of the inn, Many shall Run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Okay. So he's telling you to go ahead And seal the book Until The time of the end And then The book will be unsealed.

So Andy, do you do you understand that we're we are living During the unsealing of the book, we're seeing the unsealing of that book. taking place right before our very eyes. Did you know that? I know it now. Yeah.

So we're now living in those days Even though this was written Three thousand years ago. Let me ask you this, okay. Um where I When I was in the service, when I went into the first went into the service, The computers that we had there, they were the size of refrigerators. I mean, they were really the size of refrigerators. And boy, I mean they were looked upon.

Very you be very careful with these computer. This is high technology. Today this little smart alec phone I have has got more information than those big computers can can uh is much more functional. And so Back then back Up until the forties, knowledge was was doubled about every fifty years. Today Yeah.

Andy, information and knowledge is doubled every few hours. Every few hours. Are you starting to see the picture there, Andy? A little bit, yeah. And Many shall run to and fro And knowledge shall be increased.

Now, he's talking about knowledge, he's talking about information. But Andy He's not talking about the truth. Yeah. The the truth will be, but But not all of this, in fact Most of what you're getting today out there is not the truth. What is up there on the internet?

You have a whole lot of disinformation. being thrown out there today. And so Now what I go over to Amos chapter 8. And In Amos chapter eight.

Well, I'll get there in a minute, I think. Amos chapter eight, verses eleven through fourteen. And see if you recognize something, okay? Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send a famine in the land Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water but of hearing the words of the Lord. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to even to the east.

and shall run to and fro That means travel's going to be increased rapidly. To sake the word of the Lord. And they shall not find it.

Now What's happening today is biblical illiteracy. Biblical illiteracy. The the word of the Lord, the truth. out there today is greater than it's ever been. Not because God didn't provide it.

You have over two hundred perversions of the Bible out there. Today The vast majority of people are clueless. God didn't give us 200 versions of the Bible. The King James Bible is by far superior. to all of the other versions.

By far. And yet You have to study. To be approved, to know these things and understand these things. The vast majority of people don't. The vast majority of people Today are in La La land.

They've really They're not really putting Uh Obedience to God out there first. They they don't They're not grasping the significance. Andy, the one thing That God demands more than any other thing from Genesis to Revelation. Do you know what that is? Faith?

Faith? No, obedience. Obedience he he demands from He it's not a suggestion. But people don't care today. Do you know what it was like?

Jesus said, Here's what you're going to see. It was gonna be like in the days of Noah. The flood.

Now here's an interesting thing. Historians and theologians have. Long Uh Predicted that the population of the world at the time of the flood would be was about 8 billion. About eight billion people. Starting with Adam and Eve.

And Now The flood Yeah.

Well You know, after the flood it had the rainbow. Do you know what the The rainbow you find Uh in the Bible Four times. The rainbow is mentioned four times in the Bible. Do you know what the what the rainbow stands for? No.

Two things. Judgment and mercy. Judgment and mercy. Okay. No.

After he put the flood in there, the rainbow after the flood. What was the judgment on the people on earth? Eight billion people perished. Because they fail to repent. What was the mercy?

Where did he show mercy? Eight people didn't perish, okay? But in every case where you see this, You find here in Genesis Ezekiel chapter one Revelations uh chapter four and five.

Okay. Revelation 4 and Revelation 10. You see the rainbow, and it always refers to mercy and judgment. And And so here now People are totally oblivious, just like they were in the days of Noah. Noah do you know Noah preached for a hundred and twenty years.

They had the word. Everybody talked about it. Do you hear what he's saying? He's saying we got to change, we need to repent of our sin. We're sinning.

And we we have to live in a different way. We have to live in according to what God has given us, but uh They didn't really care, did they? Do you think? They really cared today, Andy. Are you there, Andy?

I'm sorry, what was that, Pastor? I said it was obvious in the days of Noah. When Noah had preached a hundred and twenty years repentance for a hundred and twenty years, And the people paid no attention to him. They said they they heard what he was saying. Everybody talked about what this man Noah was preaching, and But they didn't believe, they didn't care.

Now today You have people like myself, many of us, And we've been preaching this word Over and over and over. But do you think that people that really care. No.

So In Matthew chapter seven Jesus said Many are called, but few are chosen. Many will come, but few will enter.

So he's saying that the very few people that are on earth to day are going to end up in heaven. And that means that the vast majority of people out there today. They're they're out there, they're living their life. And they're going about life in in La La Land. And they're gonna end up in torment for eternity.

How would you like to be one of those people that were in eternity in torment? For eternity Knowing that you had heard The gospel, you had been warned, and all you would have had to do is repent. That's all you would have had to. and you could have been to glory. And not in torment.

But you didn't pay attention. How do you how would you like to have to live with that forever? That would be terrible. Yep. I want to go over to Revelation.

CHAPTER twenty two Virtuous Uh six through eighteen.

Well, let me s actually Actually, I'm just going to start with verse 18. Wait a minute. I am Oh, there you go. I wondered where I was at there.

Okay, no, I'll start with verse six. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true And the LORD God of the holy prophets sent the angel, to show unto his servants the things which must certainly be done Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I, John, saw these things and I heard them. And when I heard them, and I seen, and I fell down to worship.

before the feet of the angel which showed me these things. Then said he unto me, See thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant, and And of thy brethren of the prophets, and of them which Keep the sayings of this book. Worship God. And he said unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book, For the time is at hand, and he that is unjust let him be unjust still. He that is filthy, let him be filthy still.

He that is righteous, let him be righteous still. He that is holy, let him be holy still. And behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end of the first and the last. Blessed are they wish to His commandments.

And they may have the right to the tree of life. And may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs.

Now, these are not four-legged animals, these are homosexuals he's referring to.

sodomites, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie, I Jesus have sent mine angels to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the and the bright in the morning star, And the spirit and the bride say, Come, and let him that heareth come, and let him that thirst come, and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man should take away from the words of this book of the prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life.

and out of the holy city, of the things which are written in the book, He which testifieth These things say, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so.

Well, we're out of time, but thanks for being here tonight. Always, always keep fighting the fight. Fight. Fight. Fly.
