00:00If you have your Bible, you turn with me this morning to the book of Acts chapter number 2 and verse 29.
00:07Acts chapter 2 and verse number 29.
00:11I hope I never, as long as I'm in this world, say anything from this pulpit to cause you to doubt your Bible.
00:20You've got God's word in your hand. Amen.
00:23Acts chapter number 2, verse number 29.
00:26Men and brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.
00:36Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God hath sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne.
00:46He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
00:54This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
01:00Father, bless this book in your holy name. Amen.
01:04You can be seated.
01:09If you have your Bible, turn on over to the book of Acts chapter 15 and verse number 15.
01:17The title of the message this morning, the second coming of David, the second coming of David, and the giant of Kandahar.
01:29And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written.
01:33After this I will return, will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down.
01:38And I will build again the ruins thereof, and set it up.
01:42The book of Acts chapter 15 is one of the most powerful passages in all the Bible as it relates to dispensationalism.
01:48Because what you are reading here in Acts chapter 15 is what they are going to do with the Gentiles.
01:53Judaizers wanted to make them circumcised and keep the law of Moses and so forth.
01:59They wanted to add something to the finished work of Christ.
02:03So they had a dog fight in Jerusalem over this.
02:06And eventually the truth won.
02:08And they said, well now let's send these Gentiles back and tell them to leave things alone, strangled and offered in sacrifice to idols and avoid fornication and so forth.
02:18But made no reference whatsoever to the law of Moses nor to a Sabbath day or anything of that nature.
02:24And so what we have here in the book of Acts chapter 15 is the bringing in of the Gentiles as a body collect, a body, a group.
02:33Not just individuals being saved but as a group.
02:36How do we deal with these people?
02:38And so what you have here is bringing in the body of Gentile believers who are definitely believers in our Lord Jesus Christ to be accepted with the Jews.
02:48We are not going to have two separate churches.
02:49We are not going to have a Jew church and a Gentile church.
02:52We are going to have one body.
02:53Amen.
02:54There is one faith, one Lord, one baptism, one body.
02:57The body of Christ made up of Jew and Gentile, red, yellow, black, white.
03:01It makes no difference in the sight of God.
03:03If you are born again, you are born in the spirit of God.
03:06So they are brought together.
03:07These are the things that are hashed out in the book of Acts as they begin to form the body of Christ here on this earth.
03:14So the tabernacle of David is mentioned.
03:16And the reason the tabernacle of David is mentioned is because it makes direct reference to the Gentiles.
03:22And now we have a man who is long dead.
03:25David lived 1000 B.C., folks.
03:29That is the time of David.
03:31So we are looking at 1000 years later.
03:34And the tabernacle of David, he said plainly, I will build it back up.
03:39Now in the book of Ezekiel chapter number 34 and verse 23, here is what God said about David.
03:45He said, and I will set up one shepherd over them.
03:48He shall feed them, even my servant David.
03:51Now wait a minute.
03:52When Ezekiel wrote this, David was long dead.
03:54No question.
03:55So how in the world is this going to happen if he is going to set David over them?
04:00And then we bring in the controversy.
04:02Is he talking about David or is he talking about David's son?
04:06Because the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the book of Matthew chapter number 1, was of the direct genealogy of David.
04:13That gives him royal credentials.
04:16The Lord Jesus is also the genealogy of Abraham.
04:19That gives him the credentials of promise.
04:21So the Lord Jesus Christ is covered by both sides.
04:24If you're a believer in Christ, you're believing in one who has royal lineage from David.
04:29And if you believe in Christ, you're believing in the one that God gave the promise to.
04:34So we find in the book of Ezekiel, he said, I will raise up David.
04:38Ezekiel chapter number 37 verse 24 says, and David my servant shall be king over them.
04:45The book of Hosea chapter 3 verse 5 says, afterward shall the children of Israel return.
04:50Now watch this.
04:51Afterward, after what?
04:52After this long spell where they don't have the sacrifice and offerings of the temple,
04:57he said, after the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God and David their king
05:05and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
05:09No question.
05:10Notice the references now made to David.
05:14One of the reasons that the king of the throne of David is mentioned is because it is a throne of perpetuity.
05:20Nothing will ever take it down.
05:22And the Bible says in the book of Matthew chapter 1, the Lord Jesus Christ shall sit on the throne of his father David.
05:28There's coming a time on this earth when almighty God is going to reign from a throne
05:34and he's going to reign through his son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
05:37He said, I will return.
05:39The Bible says in the latter days, we read in Romans chapter number 11 and verse number 24.
05:45As we've moved now through the New Testament, we're looking into the future.
05:49We're looking at a time for the coming of the Lord.
05:51And here's what he says.
05:52Romans 11 verse 26.
05:54And so all Israel shall be saved as it is written, quoting the scripture time and again,
06:01there shall come out of Sion the deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
06:07And so he will.
06:09Jeremiah chapter 30 verse 9.
06:19So now there's a controversy, as I mentioned a moment ago among Bible believers,
06:23whether we're talking about God raising David physically from the dead
06:28and putting David himself on a throne in Jerusalem under the anointing of almighty God.
06:35Is it any problem for God to raise the dead?
06:38Of course not.
06:39No question.
06:40He's going to raise David.
06:41He's going to raise Abraham.
06:42Going to raise them all.
06:44But if you notice what he says, he says, but they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king,
06:50whom I will raise up unto them.
06:52Then there are those who take the position, well, the Lord Jesus Christ is the son of David
06:57and he is the son of David in the sense that he's of the royal line
07:02and being of the royal line, he's qualified to sit upon the throne of David.
07:07And Jeremiah chapter number 33 verse 15.
07:18Now we introduce another element into this.
07:21The branch of righteousness.
07:23The word righteous is introduced and associated with David and our Lord Jesus Christ.
07:29Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
07:32Adam was made and then Eve was made from his side.
07:35And they brought forth their sons, Cain and Abel.
07:39Cain murdered Abel and Cain therefore became the father of all murderers.
07:44He set the standard for what to look for.
07:46God put a mark upon him and drove him from the garden.
07:49Cain said, my punishment is too great for me to bear.
07:53But then we read as we study the Bible in the book of Genesis chapter number five
07:57that something has happened that changes man's relationship with God.
08:01When God made Adam, he made him of the dust of the ground
08:04and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
08:06And Adam became a living soul.
08:08The Bible said Adam was made in the image of God.
08:11Amen.
08:12But you can believe this and make no mistake about it.
08:14Satan was watching every move that was being made.
08:18God does not have to tell the devil what he's about to do.
08:21Satan observes.
08:22He watches.
08:23He calculates.
08:24He bides his time.
08:27He sees what method and what he may do.
08:31And so here we have a man born.
08:33So what's Satan going to do?
08:35He's made in the image of God.
08:37Well, the Bible tells us in the book of Luke chapter number three
08:40that Adam was the son of God.
08:43What do you mean son of God?
08:44He was the son of God by creation.
08:46Adam had a special relationship with the Lord.
08:49God made him directly.
08:51Amen.
08:52Who was Adam's father?
08:53Had to be the Almighty.
08:54He wasn't begotten.
08:55He was created.
08:57But we also read of Satan that he was one of the sons of God in the Old Testament.
09:02No doubt in the book of Job when God brought creation into existence,
09:06it shouted and sang and glorified God for what a thing had just exploded on their view
09:12when the Almighty brought these things into existence.
09:15So now we have angels in the Old Testament that are called sons of God.
09:19And I have no doubt in my mind that Satan took his part with them.
09:23So now we have one son of God by creation.
09:26And that is this one that is brought from the dust of the ground.
09:29And his life came from the very breath of God.
09:32He's in the image of God.
09:34No other creature that ever walked the face of this earth was ever made in the image of God.
09:39And then on top of that we have Satan who was created.
09:42He was brought into existence.
09:44How he was brought into existence, the Bible does not get specific about it.
09:48But make no mistake about this, folks.
09:50Make no mistake about this, folks.
09:51Everything that exists came forth from the Creator.
09:56It did not spontaneously come into existence.
10:00It came forth from the Creator.
10:02So now we've got jealousy.
10:04Now we have a competition.
10:06Now we have one looking to the other.
10:07So what would Satan say?
10:08He said, I'm going to get him to sin.
10:11I'm going to tempt him to sin.
10:14And when he sins, it will break that image of God in him once he becomes a sinner.
10:21And so Satan said about it through the Nachash, through this brilliant shining creature, he caused him to sin.
10:27But the truth of the matter is, it was Eve that he deceived and caused to sin.
10:33And Adam took the place of one who died for his bride.
10:37He knew full well what he was doing.
10:39Went into it with his eyes wide open.
10:41And he died for his bride Eve because he loved her.
10:44So Adam becomes a type of the Lord Jesus Christ who dies for his bride.
10:49Amen.
10:50But Satan had worked his dirty low-down trick.
10:53He'd gotten him to sin.
10:55So let's see what happens as we follow it on down.
10:58The book of 2 Samuel chapter number 7 verse 8 says,
11:01Now therefore, so shalt thou say unto my servant David,
11:04Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
11:06I took thee from the sheep coat, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people over Israel.
11:11And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight,
11:16and have made thee a great name, likened to the name of the great men that are in the earth.
11:21Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more.
11:29Neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as before time.
11:34It is since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel,
11:38and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies.
11:40Also the Lord telleth thee, he will make thee in house.
11:44And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers,
11:47I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels.
11:53And I will establish his kingdom.
11:55He shall build a house for my name.
11:57I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
12:00I will be his father.
12:01He shall be my son.
12:02If he commit iniquity, now watch this.
12:04If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with a rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men.
12:09But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
12:17And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established forever before thee.
12:21Thy throne shall be established forever.
12:25Imagine an old man having God say that to him, that his throne would never cease to exist.
12:32What we have now are two genealogies in the Bible.
12:35We have the sons of Cain, and we have the sons of David, the sons of the promise.
12:40We're living in that age now.
12:42Those of you that aren't as old as I am, a lot of you, the only world you've ever known, essentially, is this contemporary world.
12:49Some of you 20, 30 years old, that's all you've ever known.
12:52Folks, I knew a world that was entirely different from this one.
12:55And you folks in this house today, anywhere near my age, this is not hyperbole.
13:00I knew a world that was absolutely indistinguishable from the culture of this country today.
13:08Now we're watching something happen.
13:11We're watching something develop before our very eyes.
13:14It's the responsibility of the bishop to connect the dots, and that's what I'll try to do today for just a little while.
13:20It's connect the dots.
13:22I'm here today because of promise.
13:24I'm here today because Abraham is my father by faith.
13:27I'm here today because I'm born of the spirit of the living God.
13:30Amen, amen, amen, amen.
13:34But I also know that there's another line.
13:36I know there's another king coming.
13:38I know there's another spirit, and I know that spirit permeates this culture and this world today.
13:42No question. No doubt about it.
13:44That spirit is here. Powerful.
13:47Psalm chapter 89 verse 3 says,
13:49I've made a covenant with my chosen.
13:51I've sworn to David my servant.
13:53Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations.
13:58See the law.
14:00He said, I found David my servant.
14:02With my holy oil have I anointed him.
14:05Psalm 89 20.
14:07Then in Psalm 89 21,
14:09With whom my hands shall be established, mine arms shall strengthen him.
14:14In Psalm 89 28,
14:16My mercy will I keep for him forevermore.
14:20It shall be established forever as the moon,
14:23And as a faithful witness in heaven.
14:25See the law.
14:27Amen, amen.
14:29Now I believe in the passage of time.
14:31I believe in the chronology.
14:34It's very important in the scripture.
14:36The Lord Jesus, when he was here 2,000 years ago, said this in Luke chapter 21.
14:40They shall fall by the edge of the sword,
14:43And shall be led away captive to all nations.
14:46And Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles,
14:49Until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
14:53Well you're watching that happen right now.
14:55You're watching it.
14:57October the 7th last year.
14:59The anniversary will be coming up soon.
15:01They murdered, murdered, murdered, raped, burned alive.
15:06Monsters.
15:08Whatever their political motive that they tried to achieve.
15:12We'll not get into all that today.
15:13We'll get into the facts of what happened.
15:15If you want to identify this morning with Hamas, you go right ahead.
15:19But I'm going to tell you right now, you're doing it in ignorance.
15:22Total ignorance.
15:24You're doing it in ignorance.
15:26There's something happening over there.
15:28Something has started.
15:30And it's not going to stop.
15:32There's something happening.
15:33The clock is ticking.
15:35He said this is the times of the Gentiles.
15:37In 606 B.C. to the king Nebuchadnezzar, God gave a dream.
15:41Showed him a giant.
15:43Put that in the back of your mind.
15:44A giant.
15:45This giant had a head of gold.
15:47Chest of silver.
15:48Midsection of brass.
15:50Legs of iron.
15:51And finished with iron.
15:53And his feet were iron and clay.
15:55A supernatural mixture.
15:58An untenable thing.
16:00A kind of a thing that just doesn't make sense.
16:02Iron does not mix with clay.
16:04We read in the book of Romans chapter number 11 and verse number 25.
16:07I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery lest you should be wise in your own conceit.
16:13That blindness in part has happened to Israel to the fullness of the Gentiles.
16:17Be come in.
16:19Here are two direct references to Gentiles.
16:21We're Gentiles.
16:23We're Gentiles.
16:24I'm an American.
16:25I salute that flag.
16:27That flag doesn't save me.
16:29That flag is not my kingdom.
16:31That flag represents the times of the Gentiles.
16:34I hope you understand what I'm saying.
16:36I hope you understand that every Gentile kingdom on the face of this earth right now is part of that kingdom that started in 606 B.C.
16:44And according to the word of God, the stone cut out of a mountain will smite that image on its feet and it will come tumbling down.
16:52The fall will be immediate and complete.
16:55Not partial.
16:56Not protracted over a long period of time.
16:59But immediate and complete.
17:01We're coming to the clash of kingdoms then.
17:04We're coming to the clash of the kingdom of this earth and the kingdom that comes from above.
17:09Where it says in Revelation chapter 11,
17:11The kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ.
17:15Even so, come.
17:17John said, Amen.
17:19Even so, come, Lord Jesus, come.
17:21We're coming to the end of that Gentile kingdom, folks.
17:24France and Germany and Switzerland and Portugal and England and all the rest of them are just as much a part of that kingdom as the United States of America.
17:33But we also have a national identity.
17:35The national identity may save us.
17:37What do you mean by that?
17:39If you befriend the Jew, when he comes back at the second advent,
17:42he'll set the sheep nations on the right hand, the goat nations on the left.
17:46And if you have befriended the Jew, he will let you move in to the millennial,
17:50where Christ reigns from the throne of David there in Jerusalem.
17:54And you will, for a thousand years, the United States of America will enjoy the fruits of the millennial reign of Christ.
18:02You turn against the Jew and you watch the political winds as they're blowing.
18:07Have you took note? Take note.
18:09Note carefully what's happening.
18:11If the United States of America turns against the Jew, and you see a lot do that.
18:17You see some of these Ivy League universities, colleges, marching in the streets.
18:22They've turned against the Jew.
18:25If the United States of America turns against the Jew, it will not go into the millennium.
18:30It will be finished at the second advent of Christ.
18:33Boy, these are strong statements, preacher, that you're giving to us this morning.
18:37You mean to tell me that when the Son of God comes back, that he can destroy a whole nation?
18:42You kidding?
18:44Boy, you're not even a drop in a bucket to that almighty being.
18:48Amen, folks.
18:50Now, personally, I'd like to see the good old U.S. of A. go into the millennium.
18:54I'd like to see the stars and bars fly for a thousand years.
18:58That'd be good. Yes, that'd be wonderful.
19:01But it all relates to how we deal with the Jew.
19:04So our eschatology's got to be right.
19:06Amen.
19:08Our picture of the second coming of Christ has got to be right. Amen.
19:11If you get the Bible right, you'll be right as it relates to any secular issue.
19:16If you get the Bible wrong, you don't have the Jew in the rightful place.
19:19I've got these people out here today teaching that the church has replaced the Jew.
19:23They say the church has replaced the Jew.
19:25The Jew has no identity anymore.
19:27These are all imposters.
19:28You don't get that from the Bible.
19:31You don't get it at all from Scripture.
19:33But here's what I want to call your attention to.
19:35The times of the Gentiles, the fullness of the Gentiles, started with an image of gold, a giant.
19:43Daniel chapter number 2, verse 31, a great image.
19:47And it ends when it is smitten on its feet, the mixture of clay and iron.
19:52It goes back to Genesis chapter number 6, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men.
19:58Now, a lot of people don't believe that.
19:59They believe it's the sons of Seth.
20:01That's okay if that's what you believe.
20:02We still have fellowship with each other.
20:04Amen.
20:05I'll pray for you.
20:09But in Genesis chapter number 6, I personally believe that it was angels that came down.
20:15Now, let's think about it for a moment.
20:17You live in a demon-possessed age.
20:19You see demonism everywhere.
20:21It's all over the place.
20:22Look how people are mutilating their bodies.
20:24Look at them.
20:25And look what they're doing to our children, mutilating their bodies.
20:29I want you to think about a demon.
20:30What is a demon?
20:31It's a Greek word, daimon, daimonion.
20:34What is this thing, this wicked, vile spirit being?
20:38Do you believe in demons?
20:39Well, our church doesn't really believe in demons, preacher.
20:43That's old.
20:44That's anachronistic.
20:45That's past.
20:46That doesn't fit today, doesn't it?
20:49Most of the pulpits in this country are filled up with demons.
20:52The Lord Jesus believed in them.
20:55Where'd they come from?
20:56They're those who teach that demons came from a pre-Adamite race before Adam.
21:01The Bible said Adam was the first man.
21:03He was the first man.
21:04So whatever was here before Adam was not men.
21:07They were not men.
21:08I don't know that I necessarily believe that.
21:10They're those who believe that demons came from this fall, these angels that kept not their first estate,
21:16and so born unto them when they took the daughters of men were nephilim.
21:20Nephilim, the Hebrew word nephal means fallen ones.
21:23That's what a nephilim is.
21:25You can read about it in the book of Enoch, but keep in mind the book of Enoch is not canonical scripture.
21:30They're mentioned in other places.
21:31What are nephilim?
21:33Nephilim are the creatures, the giants that came from the merger of angels and women and giants.
21:41You remember I mentioned the giant of Kandahar.
21:43We'll get to him in a minute.
21:44Giants in the earth in those days.
21:47Red-haired, some of them.
21:49Two rows of teeth, six fingers, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20 feet tall.
21:56The American Indian, if you go out and talk to them, they have culture all over this country
22:01talking about red-haired giants everywhere.
22:05Where did they get that from?
22:06They didn't get it from Columbus.
22:08They got it from their own experience.
22:11The truth of the matter is that there's archaeological evidence of giants all over the place.
22:17Have you ever looked into the Smithsonian Institution, the Smithsonian in Washington?
22:22They'll give them information about giants.
22:24They'll show them the bones.
22:26They'll give them this and give them that,
22:27and they just, for some reason, disappear.
22:31It's almost as if there's a conspiracy.
22:33They're trying to cover up the knowledge of giants.
22:36You say, you're giving us a lot, preacher.
22:37It's on tape.
22:39Take it and look it up.
22:41Research what I'm saying to you.
22:43Giants in the earth in those days.
22:45I believe in them.
22:46Ah, King Abation was a giant.
22:48What did David face?
22:50Goliath, a giant.
22:52These are giants.
22:53They're mentioned in Scripture more than one time.
22:56These giants show up again, according to the book of Genesis, chapter number 6, in reference to the coming of the Lord.
23:04What happened to these giants in the flood?
23:07These Nephilim, they may have died in the flood.
23:10The fact is, not may, they did, but their spirits may have survived the flood.
23:17That might be what a demon is today.
23:20The spirits of the Nephilim.
23:22Who knows?
23:23I don't know that.
23:24Or it could be the spirits of fallen angels that are kept in Tartarus, the lowest hell right now.
23:29Some say it's the spirits of them.
23:31Some say it's the spirits of the wicked dead that died before the flood.
23:35Who knows?
23:36Nobody knows for certain what a demon is.
23:39I could just give you these to think about.
23:41But there's one thing about it, they are.
23:43They exist.
23:45Demons exist.
23:47So they are real.
23:49So that brings us down to today, 2024.
23:53I want you to notice the mixture of the weird with the human.
23:58How many of you noticed that the Paris Olympics, did you notice the Paris Olympics when they opened up with that abomination?
24:05It was more than just an abomination.
24:07They were putting the Lord Jesus Christ with perversion and with the weird.
24:13They were putting him with something that is not human.
24:16They were putting him in the midst of the what?
24:18To identify him with it.
24:20In plain words, to change the identity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
24:25Amen.
24:26When God saved me, he creates me and you in his identity.
24:29The unsaved man wants to create God in his own identity.
24:33That's right.
24:34That's why he makes him what he is.
24:36So the Paris Olympics, what is that?
24:38Why did they do that?
24:40They didn't have to do that.
24:42I'm still burning from it.
24:45As far as I'm concerned, they put the thing in a pit to do that to our Lord Jesus Christ.
24:51But it shows you.
24:53It shows you where we are.
24:55It shows you where we're headed.
24:57It shows you what's happening today.
25:00Did you know that recreational sex is celebrated?
25:03Have you noticed all of your advertisements on television now?
25:08Spend a little time.
25:10You really ought to.
25:12But when you do, if you do, take a note and note the number of times in one hour's period that two people are in bed together selling something.
25:22You see, the bedroom scene now is recreational.
25:26It doesn't hold any of it.
25:28Nothing today, nothing today has the same sense that it had just a few years ago.
25:35Recreational sex is celebrated.
25:38God is mocked.
25:41Men have opened the gates of hell.
25:44Yeah, they have.
25:46They're not opening it.
25:47It's open.
25:48The gates of hell.
25:50Have you got a Bible?
25:51Turn to Revelation chapter 9.
25:53The gates of hell.
25:56Revelation chapter number 9.
26:04Take me a minute to find it here.
26:07I'll be turning with you.
26:09Revelation 9.1.
26:12The fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth.
26:16To him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
26:19Do you believe that?
26:20Do you believe the pit's real?
26:22The Lord Jesus mentioned hell more than anybody else ever lived.
26:25Preach started over and over and over and over and over and over again.
26:29Well, here's what it says about them.
26:31I want you to notice in verse number 7.
26:33It says in verse 6, in those days men shall seek death and shall not find it.
26:38You shall desire to die and death shall flee from them.
26:41The shapes of the locusts were like into horses prepared to battle.
26:45And on their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold.
26:48And their faces as the faces of men.
26:51And they had hairs the hair of a woman.
26:53Their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
26:55And on it goes.
26:57What have we got here?
26:58We've got a hybrid creature.
27:00Well, if you look at Revelation chapter number 13, verse number 2.
27:03Look at this.
27:05Look what's going on here.
27:08Revelation 13, 2.
27:09And the beast which I saw was like into a leopard.
27:14The feet, the feet of a bear.
27:16The mouth, the mouth of a lion.
27:18And the dragon gave him his power, seat, and great authority.
27:21Here we go.
27:22We have a composite creature.
27:24We have something that's put together from many parts.
27:27Notice this.
27:29Notice how that everything today is just turned upside down.
27:33Have you noticed that?
27:35Even the federal government has come out today and talks about aliens possibly amongst us.
27:39Why would they come?
27:40Why would they choose now to do that?
27:42That's quite remarkable, don't you think?
27:44The merger of human and animal.
27:48You say, is that possible, preacher?
27:50Well, I want you to think about something that's very important.
27:53The merger of human and animal.
27:56All you have to do is a little Google search on it.
27:58You'll find that there's a lot going on when it comes to the merger of human and animal.
28:03That absolutely boggles the imagination.
28:06I don't want to get into all that this morning.
28:08For the sake of time and for the sake of the grace of God,
28:11I can't imagine what have you got when you, when you, when you,
28:16I don't care what kind of a science laboratory you have or what you call yourself.
28:20When you start messing with the very creation of life,
28:23merging animal and human,
28:25I mean, is there no pity for anything,
28:28a creature that's brought into existence like that?
28:33Our troops,
28:35when they were in Afghanistan,
28:38let me suggest that you do something.
28:43Google, how many of you know when I say Google something,
28:45how many of you know what I'm talking about?
28:47That's about 95% of you, yes.
28:51Google Afghanistan and giant
28:56and put in giant of Kandahar, for example, that's one.
29:00And when you find that,
29:03here's what I suggest you do.
29:05You'll be amazed at the veterans underneath in the comment.
29:10The veterans, I'm talking about men who were there.
29:14The other day, I spent probably two hours reading what these veterans said
29:18about their tour in Afghanistan.
29:21One veteran, for example, said this.
29:23He said, we were next to a cave.
29:25He said, we were next to a cave, heard a movement in that cave
29:29and said that, do you know how when you push something into a container
29:35and it's huge and you just push it in there,
29:37you feel all the air come out?
29:39How many of you ever had that happen?
29:41See, all that air is coming out.
29:42Well, they said that's what happened.
29:44We walked in front of this cave and they said we could hear a movement
29:47and this rush of air coming out,
29:50that there was something big inside that cave.
29:53Other veterans say, I was on guard duty
29:56and I could see something moving far off.
29:59I couldn't make out exactly what it was,
30:01but it was appearing and disappearing.
30:03It was almost like it was a kind of a fog, but it was there.
30:08Many of these veterans say,
30:10from the moment that I got to Afghanistan until I left,
30:13I could feel a spirit.
30:15I could feel something in that place,
30:17something that I had never felt before.
30:21Now, these are the veterans talking.
30:24Now, here's what one says.
30:26According to online accounts,
30:28the giant of Kandahar,
30:30who was said to be responsible for an entire patrol going missing,
30:35stood a towering 13 feet tall.
30:39It sported a shock of flaming red hair,
30:43had six fingers on each hand,
30:47and two rows of teeth for gnashing.
30:50That's straight out of the Bible, folks.
30:52Thrashing and showcasing a smile that was undeniably scary.
31:00They opened fire when they found this thing.
31:04Another group did.
31:0650 caliber machine guns and the other weapons they carried,
31:09and for 30 seconds concentrated fire on this thing,
31:12and according to the veterans, they finally killed it.
31:16After it had wiped out so many of their own troops,
31:19they finally killed it.
31:21Turned it over to the federal government,
31:23turned it over to the military,
31:25and all indications is that the military is doing everything they can to cover it up.
31:29Now, if you do a research on this, you'll find this.
31:32You'll find two distinct camps.
31:34You'll find one camp that says this is a myth, this never happened,
31:38this is just a bunch of garbage,
31:40and I've read what these guys say.
31:43They call it myths and garbage and all of that.
31:46They've never been to Afghanistan.
31:50On the other hand, you've got the veterans.
31:53You've got the men that have been there.
31:56When it comes, and I'll be honest with you this morning,
32:00when it comes to believing the federal government or the veteran,
32:06guess which one I'm going to believe.
32:09I'll believe that vet in a heartbeat.
32:12You better believe I will,
32:14and they are out there telling you that there's stuff going on in Afghanistan,
32:20there's stuff that went on in Vietnam,
32:23that there's stuff that goes on all around the world,
32:26and these men are first-hand witnesses.
32:29They were there, and I want them to know this.
32:32I want them to know I believe them.
32:35I'm a Bible believer,
32:37and I believe that the spirit of hell has been turned loose now.
32:41He that letteth will let till it be taken out of the way.
32:45Folks, it's already opened.
32:47The gates of hell have been opened.
32:49We're not waiting for that to happen.
32:51It has happened.
32:52Are you ready?
32:54Are you ready?
32:56We're leaving here,
32:58and we're going to be leaving here in a shout,
33:01in the twinkling of an eye,
33:03at the last trump.
33:05So what have we got?
33:07We've got the Lion of David,
33:09the rightful king who sits on his throne in Jerusalem,
33:13and then we've got the descendants of Cain,
33:17talks about in Jude, who says he was of that wicked one.
33:21They're here, and they're Bible deniers,
33:23and they mock you, and they make fun of you,
33:26and they laugh at you.
33:28Which one do you believe?
33:30Do you believe God,
33:33or do you believe a liar?
33:35Father, bless your word now.
33:37In your holy name I pray.
33:40In Jesus' name.
33:43Somehow or another, help me get this across.
33:45We need to hear what I'm saying.
33:47It is that important.
33:49We've got to get this out.
33:51In your holy name.
33:53Heads are bowed, nobody's looking,
33:55but I want to ask you a question this morning.
33:57Are you ready?
33:59The Lord's going to come, folks.
34:01When's he coming? I don't know when he's coming,
34:03but he's going to come.
34:05Are you ready?
34:07In such an hour as you think not,
34:09the Son of Man cometh.
34:11Are you ready?
34:13Say, preacher, I'm not ready. Pray for me.
34:15Anyone raise your hand this morning.
34:17Say, I'm not ready, preacher.
34:19The Lord's going to come back.
34:21Nobody's going to drag you down here at the altar.
34:23That's the work of the Holy Ghost.
34:25God bless you.
34:27Anyone else, raise your hand.
34:29Say, I'm not ready, preacher.
34:31It scares me to think that the Lord may come back today.
34:33And he may, folks. He may.
34:35I may have preached my last message at Temple Baptist Church.
34:37This may be the last time this church ever meets.
34:39God bless you.
34:41There's another hand.
34:43Anyone else, raise your hand.
34:45Say, I'm not ready, preacher.
34:47Raise your hands. Raise your hand.
34:49Say, pray for me, preacher. Pray for me.
34:51Father, I pray for them now,
34:53those who raised their hand,
34:55and those who knew they needed to raise their hands and didn't.
34:57I pray for them.
34:59Let the Holy Ghost work in their hearts.
35:01God, bring them to thee.
35:03Prepare us, Lord. Get us ready.
35:05Because I know you're coming.
35:07I don't know the day. I don't know the hour.
35:09I don't know, but I know this.
35:11I know that day will not overtake us.
35:13We're not children of the night.
35:15We're not going to be fooled.
35:17We ask it in Jesus' name. Amen.
