Who is it? 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: Can we accidentally have the mark at the beast on 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: our forehead or on our right hand? And something that 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: may really pertain to this that we should think about 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: right now, right unpack everything on this podcast. Here we are, buddy, 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: me and you are a man an empty red couch. 9 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: Try to call Tyler you know Ambers wrestling kids.

I'm looking forward to this one. 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: I used to I used to see these kind of 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: things come up, these kind of emails come up, and 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: I was kind of I kind of loathed them, like 16 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: here here we go. But now I'm really looking at 17 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: these as more of an opportunity for me to grow 18 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: and to to maybe help clear up some understanding and 19 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: for new people that have never heard the podcast that 20 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: don't go back to, you know, the older ones. I 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: think I think it's a relevant question. And I can't 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: think of anybody better than you sitting right here in 23 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: this room. We would wrestle through this. 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: That's it has been fun the last I mean several 25 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: episodes where we've taken. You've always answered emails, but these 26 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: particular ones we've jumped into have made us not only 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 2: wrestle with the conversation but also with the scripture and 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 2: how God speaks through his word even yes still today, Yes, 29 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: it is living and it applies to twenty twenty five. 30 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: And this is proof. Yeah. 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: I'm not interested in my opinion. No, no, no, not 32 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: at all. 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: I want to look through im. I'm not interested in mine. 34 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: You're not. Yeah, I want to look at everything with 35 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: the biblical lens. I want to go to as much 36 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: scripture as we can. For sure, we wouldn't typically do 37 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: that in a sermon. We would We wouldn't want to 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: if I'm preaching, you don't want to, you know, play 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: Bible gymnastics and just go all over the Bible. But 40 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: here on the podcast, in this in this forum, we 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: could go, oh, that's just out of another one. You know, 42 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: let's you know, flip through to this one. But are 43 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: you dove hunter? 44 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: You know I can't say that I am actively I've 45 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: been one time? Does that, kid? Does that make me 46 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: a dove hunter? 47 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: Sure? 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: Okay? 49 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: Is making you a Christian? Go to church? One time? 50 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 1: Is that is that. Yeah, then no, not dove hunting either. 51 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm not a dove hunt. I do like 52 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: I do like dove hunting one time I went. 53 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: This is the first podcast during dove season to be 54 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: released in twenty twenty five, and should we take these 55 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: out it's as it's airing. I'm pretty sure I have 56 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: not gone yet. But it's hard. It's hard because of 57 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: my duties at the church, for one, and because of 58 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: Lincoln's duty at school. Sure it's I can't just pull 59 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: Yankeem out of school to go during the week, and 60 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: I can't do an overnight weekend trip. So we're really 61 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: kind of regulated to saturdays. Go on a on a 62 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: Friday after school, maybe spend the night, and then hunt 63 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: Saturday morning. 64 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 2: That's also college football now. 65 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: But then that's also college football. College football has always 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: been connected to the deaf season. That's always the thing. 67 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: If you're if your team's not playing, you have time 68 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 2: to go hunt, or if they are, you schedule around it. 69 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: It's all part of it. It's all part of it. 70 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: So that if you do several guys in the hunt, 71 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: then in Texas it's always been get up. You know, 72 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: you want to be out there at first light and 73 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: you want to get as many dove as you can 74 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: make it back by breakfast in the first game at 75 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: eleven am, and then everyone can because then you could 76 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: watch that eleven am game during the heat of the 77 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: day and not all. Yeah, but the problem is if 78 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: your team's playing the six o'clock game and you got 79 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: to go out there and you know, do a little 80 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: dove hunting while they're while they're playing, but you get 81 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: to make it back by the second half. 82 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: All right, and if you know they're not a good 83 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: team this year, then you just missed out on the 84 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: heart day. 85 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Then you loved of Honting even more than thankful for 86 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: the distraction. 87 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: Do you like Labor Day? Like do you like Memorial Days? 88 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: It's a very respectful holiday, but it's also a time 89 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: of like where you're everybody's kind of getting into summer. 90 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: But Labor Day. We work on Labor Day. 91 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: So it's different for me because Labor Day is my birthday. 92 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's always. 93 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: Been connected to that and literally my mom went in 94 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: labor on Labor Day. 95 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, how ironic. 96 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: And back in the day when you and I were 97 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: growing up, we started school on Labor Day. Yeah, no longer. 98 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: Does that happen? These kids started school in early September. 99 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, two weeks before. 100 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but now it's in August. So because of that, 101 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: I've always said, yeah, I like labor Day.

My 199 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: name is Kelton and I'm from Conrod, Texas. Lately, I've 200 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: been hearing a lot of stuff about the mark of 201 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 2: the beast on TikTok and how some folks think about it, 202 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: actually it could happen in our lifetime. I got to 203 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: admit it's kind of freaking me out, and I'm not 204 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: sure how seriously to take it. I'm not in a panic, 205 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: I'm not in panic mode, but it does make me 206 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: a little nervous to think that this might be something 207 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: that we could actually see. I guess I'm mainly just 208 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 2: scared that I'm I might get the mark of the 209 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: beast on accident and not know it until it's too late. 210 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: Could you possibly dive into this on the show. I'd 211 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 2: love to hear your take on whatever this something, whether 212 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: this is something that we need to be on the 213 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: lookout for, or if it's just one of those things 214 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: that's getting blown out of proportion. Thanks so much, love 215 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 2: you and your family, And. 216 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks Kelton. And first let me say first, just 217 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: like first listening, I would advise against TikTok theology big time. 218 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: I mean I get I get videos from people that 219 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: I have the utmost respect for that are theological TikTok videos. 220 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: I've probably sent some, You've probably sent some to me. 221 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. But at some level we should be careful 222 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: with how much theology we're consuming from social media and 223 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: how much we're consuming from a pastor that's preaching that 224 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: we trust, and from of course, from the Bible that 225 00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: hopefully that pastor is actually preaching from. So you could 226 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: the you have to imagine that something on TikTok is 227 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: is going to give you a the shortest possible explanation 228 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: of a a very complex topic before we dive into 229 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: this email. 230 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: It's meant to be sensational too, because it's odd. 231 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: Because yeah, absolute attention, which is also part of the 232 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: reason we're talking about it on this podcast. Of course, sensational. 233 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we're not talking about another another 234 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: question that's just as exciting but boring for a thumbnail 235 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: on podcast title. So first of all, let's talk about 236 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: the the previous thoughts in our history of what the 237 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: mark of the Beast was. I know people thought it 238 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: was credit cards. 239 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 2: That credit cards. 240 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, in the nineteen nineties. My dad, I don't think 241 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: he can't. He out rats outright said that it's the 242 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: market of the beast, But he did not get a 243 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: credit card for probably a dec after most people got 244 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: credit cards. Interesting, which is like, what when did they 245 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: first appear in then late eighties eighties? 246 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 2: I think so maybe late seventies, early eighties. 247 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Maybe late seventies, early eighties. So my dad probably didn't 248 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: get one to like nineteen ninety five something like. He 249 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: held out with cash and checks for a long time, 250 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: worried that it would there would be a well, I 251 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: think he thought he thought about debt for one, but 252 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: he also thought, then does their a biblical connection to 253 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: people carrying around a card with all their you know, 254 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: currency on it? 255 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: Now, are there dangerous to that? I think yes. I 256 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: mean we see it every day. We see where our 257 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 2: country is as a whole when it comes to the 258 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: debt that the majority of Americans hold and carry over 259 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 2: a month to month. So is that is that dangerous? Yes? 260 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 2: Is the market of the beast? Now? 261 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: Caden's sitting in here running our video, Kaid, and have 262 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: you heard of any any people any ideas of other 263 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: mark of the beasts that have proven to be not 264 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: the market the beast off the top of your head, 265 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: because you're a different generation.

I know nothing about 311 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: the un seat, but I would imagine that that's really 312 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: a sensational idea that there is a there's a vacant 313 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: seat in the middle of the floor six sixty six. 314 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: In one day a man will come in and he 315 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: will sit in that chair and declare himself the Christ, 316 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: and he will be the anti Christ chair. 317 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. 318 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: The first thing about that that's interesting, Like the first 319 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: thought that pops in my head is if there was 320 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: such a chair that would require the powers that be 321 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: at the UN to actually believe that the Bible had 322 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: any kind of truth to it at all, right, which 323 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: would be really silly because they don't. So uh, if 324 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: there out such a chair that no, such a man 325 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: would sit in the chair, you know what I mean, 326 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: because it would be it would you would believe what 327 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: the Book of Revelation actually says that John wrote truth 328 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: and the and the truth is always distorted, not taking 329 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: his face value. 330 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: And it's not a concert to he didn't show up 331 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: with a concert. Here's my seat, can you help me 332 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: find it? 333 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? 334 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: Oh, look, that that's it. 335 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: And I hey, I'm just I'm just making stuff up here. 336 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know any about the UN seating, 337 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: so don't Maybe there is, but I'm I highly doubt there. 338 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: Is, because you see, if there's a bunch of seats 339 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: though that pass the six hundred and sixty six the chair, 340 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: that they would just skip it. 341 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: Hm hmm. 342 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 2: There'd be somebody smart enough to go, hey, maybe we 343 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: don't put that cheer in here, just because. 344 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: Well that person would be someone that believes the Bible, 345 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: but also in a superstitious way, which would be wrong 346 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: awesome though you can't. You can't have biblical truth and 347 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: be superstitious about it. Kind of like the hotels that'll 348 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: skip the thirteenth floor. 349 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: That's right. 350 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: I think hotels skips six sixty six on the door 351 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: as well, But that's not because they believe it's the 352 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: market the beast. They believe that it's just superstitious. 353 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: I think that also, people would get their room number 354 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: and go, I'm not staying in the room. I'm not 355 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 2: staying there. I don't care. 356 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're at the you're at the hotel lobby at 357 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 1: it's some big Disney World hotel, and they go and 358 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: here are here's your roomkies you have six six six 359 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: and sixty six seven. They'd be like, nope, give. 360 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: Change. 361 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: So because of that they would lose money and they 362 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: just skipping that number exactly, which once again is superstition. 363 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: And we're going to get to something, and let's do 364 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: I want to I'm gonna talk about something before we 365 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: get into more. Let's let's deal with six sixty six. Okay, 366 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: because this is I don't want to use the word funny, 367 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: but it's perhaps more interesting than funny. Revelation chapter thirteen. 368 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: This is the first time we see this. And uh. 369 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: Down at verse eighteen on in my Bible, it's the 370 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: bottom right of my page. It says, this costs for 371 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: wisdom because verse seventeen's talk about the number. We'll get 372 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: to that this calls for wisdom. Let the one who 373 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it 374 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: is the number of a man, and his number is 375 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: six six six. But there's a little asterisk right there, 376 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: a little footnote, and at the bottom of my Bible 377 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: it says what that asterisk means, and it says some 378 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: manuscripts say six one six. 379 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: It's a big difference. 380 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: So point being, we don't even know necessarily if it 381 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: is six six six, because it could be six one six. 382 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: That changes everything for these Disney World hotels. Now they 383 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: got two hotels they break in. No one thinks of 384 00:18:59,119 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: it that way. 385 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: Nobody had a problem staying in the room number six 386 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: one six. 387 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: Where's that seat in the un If someone's sitting in 388 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: six one six, could we should look at that person? 389 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: See who they are? 390 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: Maybe? Yeah? 391 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: Where they from? 392 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: Who are they? 393 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? What special powers do they have? What? 394 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: Yeah? This podcast can turn everybody upside down right now 395 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: because now everyone's checking the new number. We have looked 396 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: for centuries over six sixty six because we've been obsessed 397 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: with that translation. 398 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 2: Someone's social Security number has a six one six in it, 399 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: their telephone number, their license plate on their car. 400 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: What's the six to one and six area code? Who's that? 401 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 2: I don't know? 402 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: Look that up six one six area code. That the 403 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: Antichrist might be born in that city? Get you rite 404 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: in the TikTok theology coming out of clips from this podcast. 405 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: Now oh man with some ominous music, some. 406 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 2: Oh Man? What is it? Grand Rapids, Michigan? 407 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: Grand Rapids, Michigan. 408 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the favorite places. I love them. Yeah, 409 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 2: Grand Rappids can't be Grand rapp It sounds like the 410 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: anti crisis coming out of Grand Rapids. Now, no way right, Yep? Yep, 411 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 2: I just read it. 412 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: Nothing bad. It's like Nazareth, nothing bad comes out of 413 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: grand Rapids, said the opposite in the Bible. But you know, we're. 414 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 2: Being lighthearted about this, but it is a. 415 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: We're getting there. We're getting the heavier things. We're going 416 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: to start light. We'll be some other things that the 417 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: people have talked about being the mark of the beast. 418 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: Ai AI for sure. And to be honest, if if 419 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: you go to other videos associated with this one right now, 420 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: it's likely that there is one that says the Antichrist 421 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: is Ai, or it could be Ai. I saw I 422 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: think it was Alibeth stuck you talking about it the 423 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 2: other day. 424 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: Did you watch what she said? 425 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 2: I didn't watch it look that up, but I saw. 426 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: I saw the title and it said that something about 427 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: the Antichrist and Ai. 428 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: Alibeth is like minded with us. We've been you know, 429 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: we've done a lot of stuff together. And I know 430 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: that she wouldn't be superstitious or you know, thinking thinking 431 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: that that we'll get to we'll get to what I'm 432 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: gonna say.

So we should say, before we 498 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: go deeper, what is the beast? Kaden said it earlier. 499 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: The beast, being Satan, the devil, Lucifer, whatever you want 500 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: to call him, the anti Christ, not the spirit of 501 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: him as as would be in the world, but the 502 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: Antichrist himself. 503 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 2: That's right. 504 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: That's the beast often often looked at in Revelation from 505 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: John as the beast. So we see the scripture in 506 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: Revelation thirteen. This is when this is when we see 507 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: the number six sixty six. It's where we see the 508 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: footnotes saying it also could be sixty one six. The 509 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: verse seventeen, Chapter thirteen says, or let me go to sixteen. 510 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: Also it causes all both small and great, both rich 511 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: and poor. Let me go back to what what that is. 512 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: We need to always get contexts when we read the 513 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: Bible verse fifteen and it what is it, verse fourteen 514 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: The beast. I'm sorry, I'm going backwards here. The beast. 515 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: So the beast was allowed to give breath to the 516 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: image of the beast, and so that the image of 517 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: the beast might even speak and might cause those who 518 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 519 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: So that's something right there. Let's take this. That's verse 520 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: fifteen of Revelation thirteen. Whoever the beast is against anyone 521 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 1: who doesn't worship the beast. Okay, that's just plain and simple. 522 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: So worship this is we're seeing this idea of worship 523 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: being introduced to this idea. And then verse sixteen, And 524 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: it causes all both small and great, both rich and poor, 525 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: both free and slave, to be marked on the right 526 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: hand or the forehead why verse seventeen, so that no 527 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: one could buy or sell unless he has the mark. 528 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: And then comma that is the name of the beast 529 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: or the number of its name. At this point you go, 530 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: what's he talking about? And John answers you by saying, 531 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: in verse eighteen. 532 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 2: This culture wisdom, wisdom is needed. 533 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, your your translation says, wisdom is needed. Let the 534 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: one who has understanding calculate the number. Your translation says, let. 535 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: The one with understanding solve the meaning. 536 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: Solve the meaning of the number of the beast. You 537 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: could take the Greek for any of these, any of 538 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: these ways. Yeah, And for it is the number of 539 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: a man, and his number is sixty six six or 540 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: sixty one six, not exactly sure, little obscure, And honestly 541 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: John didn't know either. The author of this was writing 542 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, prophesying to something 543 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: that he was seeing but didn't understand. 544 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 2: How to He interpreted the best he could at that time. Right, Yes, 545 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 2: and through the Holy Spirit as well of him of 546 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: what he was seeing, that of things that he had 547 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: never seen before which have yet to happen. Right, So, 548 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 2: how do you explain something that you've never seen before 549 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 2: but it hasn't happened yet. That's right. This is what 550 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 2: you get out of revelation so much there you know, 551 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: in other parts that doesn't have as much to do 552 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: with the Beast, you hear him talk about different things 553 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 2: and and you go, well, if he saw this, I 554 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: could see how he would say it was that that 555 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: one of in particular, was like a flying scorpion or something. 556 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: We don't want to get too off topic, but if 557 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: you look at apache helicopters, yeah, it's like, oh, that's 558 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,959 Speaker 2: a I could totally see how he could look at 559 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: that and go, I've never seen anything like this before. 560 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: Kind of looks like a scorpion and it's flying, you know. Yep. 561 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is all in these these few chapters when 562 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: we start talking about the these signs to come from 563 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: that that are flowing from the seals of the Great Book, 564 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: the break the Great Scroll that the Lamb uh broke open, 565 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: broke open the seals of the scroll in Revelation five. 566 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: John didn't understand this, and just like Isaiah prophesying of 567 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: the coming Messiah didn't know what he was writing either. 568 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: He was just writing under the Holy Spirit's inspiration for 569 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: a four a specific purpose of a people that he 570 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: did not know. 571 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: And he told him to write it down. And then 572 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 2: there were parts in there too. He said, don't write 573 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: this down. 574 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: That's right. So I want to look at I want 575 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: to look at something first. If I turned my page 576 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: in my Bible right after that six sixty six, it's 577 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: the next next line is going into fourteen, and it 578 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: says in that verse one of at the end of 579 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: verse one, chapter fourteen, that there's another forehead writing here. 580 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: Then I looked and behold on the mountain Zion stood 581 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: the Lamb, which is the Christ, which is also the 582 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 1: lion of the tribe of Judah, and with him one 583 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: hundred and forty four thousand, who had his name and 584 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: his father's name written on the foreheads. So there it is, 585 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: there's another forehead. We see another forehead in chapter seven, 586 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: and this is another positive forehead of the negative and 587 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: the positive. Yeah, and we'll see this throughout this conversation, 588 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: that the mark of the beast always reflects an opposite 589 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: image of the mark of a child of God. 590 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: That's right. 591 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: Chapter seven, verse three. Do not harm the earth or 592 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: the sea, or the trees until we have sealed the 593 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: servants of our God on their foreheads. So that's another 594 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: another marking of the sealed. Who will be sealed. We 595 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: could discuss that, but I want to I want to 596 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: make a jump here, and I'm going to lose track 597 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: of my Bible. I'm going to make a jump back 598 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: to Ezekiel. 599 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 2: Okay, because. 600 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: Chapter nine of Ezekiel, once again, here we are. Here 601 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: we are with another prophet, Ezekiel, now seeing a vision 602 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: under inspiration of the Holy Spirit and writing down without 603 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: fully understanding what he's seeing. He's writing it for a 604 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: future generation because the Lord told him to write it. 605 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: Verse Chapter nine, verse three. Now, the glory of the 606 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on 607 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: which it rested, to the threshold of the house. And 608 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: he called to the man clothed in linen, who had 609 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: the writing case at his waist, and the Lord verse 610 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: four said to him passed through the city through Jerusalem, 611 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: and put a mark on the foreheads of the men 612 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are 613 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: committed in it. So this ceiling marking foreheads, the right 614 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: hand which is always the hand of power, the hand 615 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: of strength, the right hand, right hand, forehead. You see 616 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: the right hand with the strength, and the forehead with 617 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: the decision making. We see the star at the Bible. 618 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: So this is not just for the market the beast, 619 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: and it's not just negative, because we see marks for 620 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: positive in March for the negative. Sure, So from this 621 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: we should think, we should think that it's not only 622 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: getting the mark by accident. To Kelton's email, you can't 623 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: get it by accident because it's always connected to worship. Worship, Yes, 624 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: you said that earlier. 625 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: Did you have a verse for that, Yeah, And I 626 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 2: mean it talks about there in chapter thirteen you backed 627 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: up to when you were backing up there in fifteen. 628 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 2: He was then permitted to give life to the statue 629 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: so that it could speak. Then the statue of the 630 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: Beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship, where are you, 631 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 2: it must die. I'm sorry. Chapter Revelation thirteen. Chapter chapter thirteen, 632 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 2: verse fifteen. 633 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where were a second Aye. 634 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: If you're refusing to worship it, you must die. So 635 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 2: there and then later on then obviously it says that 636 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 2: he gave them the mark. The worship was record wired 637 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: first before the mark happens. You know what you're doing 638 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: before the mark is taken. It also is again over 639 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 2: in made a mat a note of this. Let's say 640 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 2: back up, Oh that was thirteen, where's fourteen? Nine and ten? 641 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: Then a third angel followed them, shouting, anyone who worships 642 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 2: the beast and his statue, or who accepts his mark 643 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 2: on the warhead or on the hand, must drink the 644 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 2: wine of God's anger. It has been poured out full 645 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 2: strength into God's cup of wrath. So the worship and 646 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 2: the mark accompany each. 647 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: Other, continuing on, and he will be tormented with fire 648 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: and sulfur in the presence of the Holy angels, and 649 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: in the presence of the lamb. 650 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 2: The lamb. 651 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: The lamb is there, right, the Lamb is there pouring 652 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: out judgment. Often we think of, well, we don't want 653 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: you to be separated from Christ forever. Well, he's here, Yeah, 654 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: he's here, pouring out wrath, and the smoke of the 655 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no 656 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: rest day or night, these worshippers. That's what my translation says. 657 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 2: What was your saying for they who have worshiped the beast, 658 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 2: worshippers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives 659 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 2: the mark. 660 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: Of its name? What does your translations say on that? 661 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 2: Basically the same thing and his statue and have accepted 662 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 2: the mark of his could. 663 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: Pull up the Greek, but I'm gonna I'm gonna just 664 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: go with you, and I have different translations. What are 665 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: you reading out. 666 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 2: Of I'm reading n LT, n LT, I'm in the ESV. 667 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: So we could pull up the Greek to be absolutely sure, 668 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: but that that last line is interesting. These worshippers of 669 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: the beast and its image and whoever receives the mark 670 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: of its name. We see two things here. We see 671 00:34:55,040 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: worshiping and receiving. And that's sounds exactly like salvation. That 672 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: sounds exactly like conversion. There's a song we sing scripture 673 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: songs with the kids, and John one twelve is one 674 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: of our favorite songs to sing in the morning. For 675 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 1: all who did receive him, who believed in his name, 676 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: he gave them the right to become children of God. 677 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: Who who received him, believed, worshiped, received, were marked, given 678 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: the right to become adopted, ransomed, restored, redeemed, sons, co 679 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: heirs of the kingdom. Marked, marked, you could say, marked 680 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: on the forehead. You could say, yeah, all mind, body, strength, soul, surrendered, given, 681 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: laid at the foot of the Lamb, who for his 682 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: sake we are saved, who for his sake died and 683 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: was raised the land that was slain. 684 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 2: Amen. 685 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: So that's the gospel, and the opposite of the gospel 686 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: is same language worship, receive the image the deity, the 687 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: false deity, and the mark, and be marked by the 688 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: image of the beast. Opposite language Gospel language, anti Gospel language. 689 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,320 Speaker 2: Allegiance as well. Allegiance. That word comes to mind, allegiance. 690 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 2: Where's your allegiance? If you're taking the mark, you've taken 691 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 2: an allegiance. You have worshiped either the Lamb or the beast, 692 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 2: and your allegiance has been aligned to one or the other. 693 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: Yep. That verse nine of Chapter fourteen. If anyone worships 694 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: the beast and its image and receives a mark on 695 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: his forehead or on his hand, he will drink the 696 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: wine of God's wrath poured full strength into the cup 697 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: of his anger. So those, let's flip it, those that 698 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: worship Christ as Lord and receive him as lord of 699 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: their life, will be marked as children of God, and 700 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: will the cup will be passed from them. The cup 701 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: is poured out from the Christ. The cup of God's 702 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: wrath was poured out onto the Son of God on 703 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: the altar of the cross. And we are spared from 704 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: the pouring out of that sacrifice. And we are spared 705 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: from that. So once again the mark of the beast 706 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: we see exact opposite of gospel language. And just like 707 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: you can't accidentally take the mark of the beast, you 708 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: actually you also can't accidentally be received into the Kingdom 709 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: of Heaven. 710 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 2: Right, It's a conscious thing. 711 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: Neither or accidents. Both require worship an active receiving. 712 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 2: Anyone who worships the beast in his statue or accepts 713 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 2: the mark on the forehead or the hand must drink 714 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: the wine of God's wrath. What do we do in communion? 715 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 2: We drink the blood represents the blood. 716 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: That represents what was poured out. Right, Yeah, yeah, John 717 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: three sixteen believes. Whoever believes John five twenty four, whoever 718 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: hears my word and believes Him who sent me is sealed, 719 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:45,439 Speaker 1: or is marked, or has gains, is imputed with righteousness. 720 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: All these things, all these words work together and positive 721 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: for the Gospel, in opposite for the mark of the 722 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: beast Paul's letters, Romans ten to nine. If you confess 723 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: with your mouth, that is a an active, an active worship. 724 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: If you confess with your mouth actively the Jesus is Lord, 725 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: and believe, or you could use that word receive. I'm 726 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: fine with that. Receive in your heart that God raised 727 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 1: him from the dead. You will be saved. Believe is 728 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 1: another way of is another way of saying, an activated faith. 729 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: We're saved by faith, right, saved by grace through faith. 730 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: And faith when it's active and it's always active, is belief. Believe, 731 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:44,280 Speaker 1: repent and believe right Galatians four. We receive adoption as sons, 732 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: so we receive God adoption of sons, and God sends 733 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: the spirit of a son into our hearts. Crying about 734 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: We said that just the other day on the podcast 735 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: Ephesians one in him. You also when you heard the 736 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: Word of Truth, the Gospel of your salvation. So this 737 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: is let's stop right there, because this is how we're saved. 738 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: We're saved by hearing and hearing through the Word of Christ. 739 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: Faith comes from hearing, the Bible says, and hearing through 740 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: the Word of Christ. So Ephesians one says, when you 741 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,240 Speaker 1: heard the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your salvation, 742 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: it's like activation and believed in him or received him. 743 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: The Pheasans one says, when this happens, you're sealed with 744 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: the promised Holy Spirit. That's another language that sounds like 745 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: the opposite of being sealed with the mark of the beast. 746 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 2: Have another seal for you, okay, John ten, Verse twenty eight. 747 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 2: Jesus speaking, I give them eternal life, and they will 748 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 2: never perish, and no one can snatch them away from me. 749 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 2: Sealed Yeah, yeah, yeah. 750 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 3: That. 751 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: In continuation of that, Jesus says, my sheep, my sheep, 752 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. 753 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 2: Yep. 754 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: I give them eternal life, They'll never perish, and no 755 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 1: one snatched them out of my hand. 756 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 2: Speaking of what our friend here wrote to us, thing 757 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 2: he's talking about. TikTok. I saw a video on TikTok 758 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,800 Speaker 2: I wanted to send you uh, and it was people 759 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 2: who try who weren't the shepherd speaking to sheep in 760 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,760 Speaker 2: a field, in a real field, real sheep, and they 761 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 2: do the same call. The sheep don't even look up 762 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 2: from the grass ever until their shepherd says it, and 763 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: they all look up and they all come running. It's 764 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 2: just a beautiful, beautiful picture of that scripture coming to 765 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,760 Speaker 2: life in real life in front of you, with real sheep. 766 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: And you know what they you know what they would 767 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: do if a wolf came in? Is that? Is that 768 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: not the most obvious question I could possibly ask? They 769 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: would run? 770 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:47,399 Speaker 2: You'd run? 771 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, of course they don't recognize their shepherd. But where 772 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: were they run? To the shepherd? 773 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 2: To the shepherd? 774 00:41:54,080 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. So a question what's the guy named Kelton? 775 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 1: Question to Kelton is whose name is on youh Kelton? 776 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: Whose rule are you under? What are you worshiping? And 777 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 1: I don't say are you worshiping? I don't say that 778 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: because everyone's worshiping something. Everyone's worshiping something. It's not a 779 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: matter of if it's only what or who? So Kelton. 780 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: Are you worshiping the Lord Jesus? Have you heard the gospel? Believed, 781 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: repented from your sins, been baptized as a as an 782 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: act of obedience, is a following salvation? Or are you 783 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: still outside? Are you still a sheep on a mountain side, 784 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: available for to be stolen by a wolf, to be killed, 785 00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: to be sealed. And that's the question for us all 786 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: because as we as we much as we dig into 787 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 1: this stuff, and we want to be we want to 788 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: be TikTok heroes and figure out the code of the 789 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four thousand, or the the the 790 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: code of the the sixty sixty six aka six y 791 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 1: one six, or we want to figure out like that, 792 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: like this is a the national treasure. You know, we're 793 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: we're looking at the treasure map trying to figure out 794 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: the way in. I want to say that speaking of 795 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 1: the hundred forty four thousand, because I know that comes 796 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: up and there's a couple of guys I'm discipling right now. 797 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 1: We ran through this, and the correct answer to the 798 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty four thousand, as we don't know, 799 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: No one knows. Of his witnesses say they know but 800 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: literally in verse nine, after this, after the ceiling of 801 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 1: the one hundred and forty four thousand, verse nine says, 802 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 1: after this, I looked and behold a great multitude that 803 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,320 Speaker 1: no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes 804 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: and peoples and languages, standing before the throne, before the lamb, 805 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: clothed and white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 806 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 1: and crying out with a loud voice, salvation belongs to 807 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb. 808 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: So oh. And then as we continue down in verse eleven, 809 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: and all the angels were standing around the throne, and 810 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: all the elders, and all the four living creatures, and 811 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: they all fell in their faces before the throne, and 812 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: they worship God. So the as much as we could 813 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: read this as a national treasure and try to figure 814 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: out the code and try to use numerology. It's a 815 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: great example. You said earlier, a lot of people kind. 816 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 2: Of associate the six onths, the six onths six, and 817 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 2: the sixty sixty six that it has something to do 818 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 2: with numerology and how words have Each letter has a 819 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 2: different number, and you add them up, and you do 820 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,879 Speaker 2: somebody's name and an equals six hundred and sixty six 821 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 2: six six hundred and sixty six, that that's who it is, 822 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,959 Speaker 2: and or six one six whatever. And it does say 823 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 2: that wisdom is needed here. 824 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 1: Wisdom's needed. Stop looking at the mark of the beast 825 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 1: to see what it is. Yeah, in fact, don't look 826 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,760 Speaker 1: at it at all, don't look at it at all, 827 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: because let me go to John. Three. Nicodemus said to him, 828 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 1: how can these things be? Jesus answered him, Are you 829 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: the teacher of Israel? And you do not understand these things? Truly? Truly, 830 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: I say to you. We speak of what we know 831 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: and bear witness to what we have seen. But you 832 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: do not receive our testimony. If I told you earthly things, 833 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: and you do not believe, how could you believe if 834 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 1: I tell you heavenly things. No one has ascended into 835 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: heaven except for he who descended from heaven, the son 836 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 1: of Man. And Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. 837 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: So must the Son of Man be lifted up, that 838 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: whoever believes in him may have eternal life. Look to him, 839 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,839 Speaker 1: Look at Christ, lift it up on the cross, look 840 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: to him. Stop looking for the beast. Stop looking at 841 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,280 Speaker 1: six sixty six or six y one six, or numerology 842 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: or the end times, or the wars or the rumors 843 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: of wars. Stop looking at it and look to Christ, 844 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: and you will be sealed and man for him. You'll 845 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 1: be adopted as a son and daughter of the king. 846 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,800 Speaker 1: Look to him, and everything else will be fine for 847 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: most people listening right now, incutting me and you, Let's 848 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 1: say there is a high probability that we will die 849 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: before any of this prophecy is fulfilled. Whether it even 850 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: has been fulfilled in the past or it will be 851 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,399 Speaker 1: in the future, it doesn't matter nearly as much as 852 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: receiving the Lord Jesus as your savor. Believe in him, 853 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:11,239 Speaker 1: man tent and be baptized, and you'll be saved, and 854 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 1: then nothing else matters.
