Exposing Antichrist and the False Prophet

Joy to be with you. Now we are in the end times. The time is getting short and the Lord Jesus will return at some time point, but the Bible also tells us that God will act in judgment upon the earth through a great tribulation. And in that great tribulation there will be two men that are called Antichrist and the false prophet who are world leaders. But we have the Antichrist in now. We have already in our midst many misleading prophets who speak for gain, who speak to take up ears, who do not give us the whole counsel of the word of God. And so many people are already deceived. And just to give you a few examples, 50% of Christians in America, and this is a reputable survey, 50% of Christians in America no longer believe that Jesus is the only way. And that is a terrible, terrible deception by Satan because Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes unto the Father except through me. And then it also tells us in Acts, there is no other name on the heaven given among men by which we must be saved, says the Bible in Acts chapter 4 verse 12. And so, beloved, there's much deception going on. There's much false teaching going on. And then nearly half of all Christians in America and Canada now believe that all nature of faith lead to God. And it sounds like a nice concept. It sounds like something that people would like and accept and can live with. But it's not true, beloved. It's not true. God said in his first commandment, in Exodus chapter 20 verse 3, he said thou shalt have no other gods before me. Throughout the Old Testament, people got killed, Israelites got killed time and again, time and again, because they went to other gods. And so, beloved, we cannot be deceived in that. We must tell people, you've got to go to the right God. Don't go to any other God. Because anti-Christ, they still project and say, yes, we believe in God, but they are anti-Jesus Christ, the Son of God. And so we must understand this. And then there is another thing called hyper-grace. And there are people that say there's no hell. Don't worry about it. God has not killed. God is a God of love. We want a God of love. Don't give me the God that judges. I don't want that God. But it's a terrible, terrible lie. You see, because if we turn against God and the Son of Jesus Christ, and if we turn against Jesus Christ, we're turning against God. Because God said, I have given you to him that you might be saved, that you might have a way to me. He has taken your sins upon himself. The other major faith have not done this. No one has taken your sins upon them so that you might be righteous with God. And so God gives us the answer through our Lord Jesus Christ. And then Matthew 10 verse 28 says, fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him. He's the Father. He's God. He's not Santa Claus. He's not a buggy. He is a mighty, incredible God who's righteous, who's just, who loves us to death. But if we go the other side, there is judgment. Now, another lie is that God is okay with sin. And we see this happening all over Canada and the United States, where open sin is accepted into the churches. And even leaders and pastors, they practice open sin, and they say, it's okay, don't worry about it. God is a good God. Don't, don't, don't give me all of this other stuff. But I urge you, reply to them. We must follow the Bible and what the Bible says. And you see, Christ Jesus gave us a personal example that God does not accept sin because in Revelation chapter 2 and Revelation chapter 3, Jesus spoke to seven churches and five didn't make it. And what did they do wrong? Well, the first church lost their first love of Jesus. In that church, they liked football more, they liked baseball more. They wanted the pastor to, to stop at 1130 so that they would see their ballgame. That's what the deacon insisted on. That's what some of the trustees of the building wanted. They want the world more than Jesus. And Jesus said, no, no, no, that's a sin. You've lost your first love. I want you to love me with the first love. In fact, I want you to love me more than your family, more than your wife, more than your children. And there's another passage that tells us that that love ought to almost look like hate for the family so much we love him. And then he said, take up your cross and follow me. Cross means death. A cross means a requirement on our part, on the part of Christians to do something, to do the things that God has given us to do in the Bible. And then another part of that says, forsake all, forsake all. And that's very, very hard, beloved. And for me to be a Christian is actually more challenging than run a big business or do something else. It really takes all of my life. It takes all of my love. It takes all of my thinking that I might do right with him who is above all. And so Jesus said to the first church, you lost your first love. Then the second church, he said, you're following false doctrines. You're not believing the Bible. You're following wrong doctrines. And then to the third church, he said, there's sexual immorality in your church. It's not acceptable to God. Repent. It's not acceptable. And to the fourth church, he said, you are dead. You're doing things of no eternal value. You have all kinds of good programs. You seem to be alive, but you're not doing what I'm asking you to do. What I'm asking you is love one another. Love. I just saw that song which says there's no option but you're going to love one another and be with one another. And so that is something that must come through your church that your love overflows in your neighborhood. It's shown to others where others want to come to your church where it seems that Satan has somehow a barricade around this beautiful church. And you've got to break that barricade through your love, through prayer, and also get together as a group of one with Pastor Griffith during his Bible studies. And then the last one is, Jesus said, being lukewarm is also a sin. Repent. Lukewarm. Lukewarm. I detest you. I spit you out. Be either for me or against me, but don't be in the middle. And so many of us Christians, I include myself, we like the things of the world. And so we often put a television program first before studying the Bible, or our internet, or our cell phones, or whatever interests you, we put that before studying the word of God. So these are Antichrist situations today that exist today, but I said that also there is a time coming when there will be two world leaders, one called Antichrist and the other one a false prophet. And so we're going to go through Revelation chapter 13 verse by verse. But before we do, I just wanted to give another reminder. Many pastors, 80 or 90% of all pastors, also good pastors, are somehow misled and they teach you that you will not have tribulation, you will not have trials. Okay? That's what they tell you. They say, you're a Christian, you're protected from God, don't worry. What does this book say? This book tells us differently than others. And so I don't want to discourage you, but I'm also going to tell you the truth, okay? Because if I don't tell you the truth, then you can do nothing about it if you're misled. And so in Matthew chapter 24 verses 8, 9, and 10, it says, there will be beginnings of sorrows. And there's a day coming also in this country when they will deliver you up to tribulation and try and kill you and you will be hated for the name of Jesus. That is already happening in Canada, it's happening here too. In fact, last week, my internet was shut down. I don't have a computer internet right now because I use the name of Jesus in my internet and I send out updates to a group of prayer warriors who are praying for me while I'm doing ministry. And they shut me down. And they said, you're sending spam. You can no longer use our internet. Okay? So when I go back to Canada, I meet one of my daughters. I'm not technically that well connected that I can do it myself. I need a daughter to try and maybe get me another internet hookup so that I have communication again. But it may happen on a much, much larger scale than it is happening right now. So we must become overcomers. We must become ambassadors for Christ, which is a higher plane. It's not just about your daily sorrows, about your daily difficulties, about what you're all about. It is also what God is all about. And he says, I want you to get to a higher plane, to become an overcomer and an ambassador. And so the pastors that tell you that you don't have to go through tribulation, they also say this is because Christ will rapture you. Christ will take you out of the world before the great tribulation. Now, I don't want to argue about that, but I'm going to give you three direct scripture passages for you to consider yourself. You study them, you think about them, and you see and you try and arrive at what is true with the help of the Holy Spirit. Because we all want Christ to return and take us out of this situation that is starting to occur with wars and rumors of wars and all kinds of difficulties. We want to get out of here. But let us read 2 Thessalonians 2, verses 1-4. 2 Thessalonians 2, verses 1-4. When you're there at 2 Thessalonians 2, verses 1-4, when you're there, say, Amen. And if you're not there yet, say, Wait a minute. Okay, 2 Thessalonians 2, verses 1-4. Either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means, for that day will not come. The day, meaning the day of the return of Jesus, will not come until then, unless the falling away comes first. There will be a great falling away, which has not happened yet. And then it says, And the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, that is Antichrist. So here it tells us in Scripture directly, don't expect Christ back until the great falling away has taken place and until Antichrist is revealed. So that is why I'm giving you this message today, that you learn about Antichrist and the false prophet. And now, you say to me, well, they're true coming backs of Jesus. Jesus is coming back in secret first, and then he comes back openly later on. So let us read now from Revelation chapter 16, verse 15. Revelation chapter 16, verse 15. And there it says, Behold, I'm coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and may see his shame. So here Jesus says he's returning as a thief. Yes, it's said so in the Bible. But the question that you must ask yourself, when is he saying that? At what time point is he saying that? Because the time point here is Revelation chapter 16, verse 15. And I'm not sure how familiar you are with the Great Tribulation in the book of Revelation. This chapter 16 is after seven trumpet judgments have taken place, after seven seal judgments have taken place, after ball judgments have taken place, only five or six of them. And then, now Jesus is saying, behold, I'm coming back as a thief. Now, let me ask you this question. Would Jesus say this if we are already with him? No. He would never say that. He would never say that if we're with him already, right? It doesn't make any sense for him to say it if we're with him. But here he says, behold, I'm coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches. So the time period here is after seven seal judgments, seven trumpet judgments, and six ball judgments. So prepare yourself to get to a higher plane, to become an overcomer, to become an ambassador for Christ, so that you are able to deal with what must yet come. Okay? What must yet come. And become an overcomer. Become an ambassador for Christ. And now let us go on to open up the passages for today as the main sermon from Revelation chapter 13. And if you would turn to Revelation chapter 13, verse 1, we will read each verse and give a short explanation, so that you might understand. And it also took a lot of standing and a lot of asking the Lord for higher help to be able to understand, because here in Revelation chapter 13, verse 1, it says, Then I stood on the side of the sea, and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads blasphemous names. So the difficulty here is that when we look at the book of Revelation, very often there are what are called allegories. Allegories is a story with a hidden meaning. Or there are also metaphors. And metaphors are difficult for us to understand. So what I did is I tried to help our understandings, and I have a bit of a gift of her drawings. So I drew a beast here, okay? I drew a beast here based on Revelation chapter 13, verse 1. And here now we see this beast with all these things that I mentioned. It rose up out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns, and on its horns ten crowns, and on its heads a blasphemous name. Now, because we want to understand allegories and the metaphor, the metaphor is a picture of someone or something with a different meaning, or someone else. So what God did here is he gave us the character of the person that is related to in this passage. And the first part of the verse says, And then I stood on the sand of the sea. Now the question is, what is the sea? And Revelation chapter 17, verse 15, in another part of the Bible, it explains to us what the water is here. And in Revelation chapter 17, verse 15, it says, Then he said to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tribes. The harlot is the anti-Christ system. The harlot is the one that will project that Christ is not the Son of God, that he's not needed for salvation, that you don't need to worry about judgment and all of these things. So here, the waters are explained in Revelation 17, verse 15. And then, what is the beast? Well, if you go to Revelation chapter 13, verse 18, there it explains to us, in Revelation 13, verse 18, Here's wisdom, let him that has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. So it is a person, the beast is a person, with the character that is displayed here. And then, again, he rises up out of the sea and the rich of peoples, multitudes, and nations. And now, it has seven heads, it says in verse 1. What are the seven heads? And we get the answer from Revelation chapter 17, verse 9, which says, The seven heads are seven mountains. So the Antichrist system sits on seven mountains. Now, beloved, I've checked all the cities in the world, and there are only two major cities with seven mountains. One is Rome, which actually sits directly on seven mountains, and the other city is Mecca, and Mecca is surrounded by seven mountains, but does not sit on the seven mountains. So I believe that the reference here clearly is that out of Rome, the Antichrist system will flourish and become bigger and bigger and bigger. And then, it says here, in verse 1, that it has ten horns. Now, Revelation chapter 17, verse 12, explains to us the ten horns. Revelation chapter 17, verse 12, and there it says, And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. So here will be ten rulers in the world that will support Antichrist. Now, my question was, are there any developments that might indicate the number ten? And I found in the secret club of Rome that they have divided the earth into ten regions, and they want to appoint one ruler over each region in the world. One for North America, one for South America, one for Europe, one for Africa, one for Russia, one for China, one for India, one for the Middle East, one for Japan, and one for Australia. And when we go on, in verse 1, it also says that this beast has horns, and the horns are explained in Revelation chapter 17, verse 13. Revelation chapter 17, verse 13, and there it says, These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. And the ten crowns represent power and authority which will be given by those ten rulers to Antichrist. So, and then obviously it's of blasphemous names, and if we go to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, verse 4, 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, verse 4, there it says, He opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. And so now we have a different picture of this beast, because now we have received explanations of this beast, and now we understand that this beast is a coming world ruler. And again, I have shown on here the passages that explain that the beast is a man, the sea are nations and peoples, the heads are seven mountains, based on Revelation 17, verse 9, the ten horns are ten kings, and the ten crowns are power and authority for this man. So now we understand Revelation chapter 13, verse 1. Now let us continue verse by verse, let us go now to Revelation chapter 13, verse 2. And there it says, Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. So here in this passage we have another allegory with hidden meanings, animals are explained here to be related to the Antichrist. And these again are characteristics of the coming Antichrist. And here he is mentioned as a leopard. A leopard is agile and swift, and we read in other Bible passages that he's going to be very, very swift with a great army to do battle. And then he has feet like a bear, so this allegory will have strength, the strength of a bear. And then he has a mouth like a lion, to consume, to tear, to kill, and he will kill many Christians tonight. Revelation will confirm this for us as we go on. Now the dragon is mentioned here in this passage. In Revelation chapter 20, verse 2, the dragon is explained there, and I believe you all know the answer to that already. In Revelation chapter 2 it says, He made hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and battled him for a thousand years. So this is verse 2. Now let us go on to Revelation 13, verse 3. And here it says, I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world marveled and followed the beast. The beast is Antichrist, he's a man, and one of his heads will be mortally wounded. That will be an assassination attempt on Antichrist. And later on we read that that wound was actually made by a sword. In verse 14 at the end it tells us that that wound was made by a sword, but it was a mortal wound, it was a deadly wound. I don't know if the sword split his head in half, or whether it cut off his head or whatever, but it would have been impossible for him to come back to life. However, he came back to life, he was healed, and all the world marveled and followed this Antichrist. The whole world believed in him. They didn't have the questions anymore, this man must be divine, he must be a god, and with the wound that he received, he can be trusted because he was healed by other powers, and so he must follow him. That's what the world will say. And it is a great, great deception. Verse 4, Revelation chapter 13, verse 4. Here it says, So they worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast who is able to make war with him? So people then will worship Satan. They will worship the dragon, it says here in verse 4, and the dragon is Satan. So now there might be a great, great deception that he calls himself God, and that people will worship a false god, for instance, as a possibility. And then it says he gave power and authority to the beast. That means this world leader will be a Jew with mighty demonic powers to do incredible things, so great that the whole world will be deceived. And they worshipped the beast and said, Who is like this man? We are not able to make war with him. And then going on to verse 5, And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for 42 months. Now, from other passages in the Bible, we know that Antichrist will make a seven-year peace agreement. And in that peace agreement, there are seven years, and you will find that in Daniel chapter 9, verse 27. We will not refer to it, but you can make a note if you want to read about that peace covenant. And the one week is mentioned in that verse, but the one week means seven years in that verse. So this world leader will make a peace agreement, and now here God is allowing him to continue for 42 months, but he will now show his true self. All evil will break loose at the middle of his reign. Now, let us go on to Revelation 13, verse 6, and there it says, And we already read from the book of Thessalonians that he will sit in the temple of God, and he will call himself God. So he will blaspheme God and everything in heaven. And now going on to verse 7, and it was granted to him, this concerns each one of you, verse 7, and it was granted to him to make war with whom? Saints. Who are the saints? We are, right? So here Antichrist is allowed to hurt saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. Now we might ask, why would God allow that? Why would God do that? Well, God wants a testimony from every Christian that there is a hope, that there is a destiny, there is a better place without tears, without sorrow, without pain. And he said to his disciples, I send you like sheep to the wolves, even if the wolves hurt you. It's a testimony for me, and some of the wolves will get saved. So God will allow us to be little Christ, little Christ. Now, most of us have never heard this, and we don't want to hear about it really in a sense, but I've got to tell you the truth. Here it says very, very clearly that the saints can be overcome for a period of time. Now, the one thing you must understand, though, Antichrist can only hurt the body. He cannot hurt your born-again soul. His soul is safe and secure in the hands of God forever and ever and ever and ever, and you will be in heaven. You will get a martyr's crown in case you're asked to lay down your life. But God also says that this time will come, and it's a difficult concept for us, verse 8, and all who dwell on the earth will worship him whose names have not been written in the book of life of the name slain from the foundation of the world. So here all people on the earth will be deceived. They will not be able to think straight, and they will follow this Antichrist unless your name is written in the book of life. That means you have become a Christian along the way. You have given your life to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He said, I'm going to follow Jesus. He's my Lord and my Savior, and there's a new life that comes inside of you because you're born again. You still have the old body, but there's a new person also inside of you that can do these things, but you need higher help, and we all need higher help with that. And now verse 9 says, if anyone has an ear, let him hear. Now, the ear is for hearing, but hear, the word hearing, also means understanding what lies ahead. Don't just let it hear in one ear and go out the other ear. Okay, so often I've been to church myself, and I said on the way out to the pastor, thank you for your good sermon, and then as I walked just a couple of steps, I thought, my goodness, what did he preach about? I don't remember, okay. And I think we've all done that. So, you know, remember, remember, remember Revelation chapter 13. Never, ever forget it, okay? And now comes a warning in verse 10. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity. He who kills with a sword must be killed with a sword. Here's the patience and the faith of the saints. And here God says, if you hurt my Christians, I will hurt you. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord, I will repay. I will defend my saints, so don't hurt my anointed. But if you do, and some saints will get killed, some saints are killed even today in other parts of the world. Here's the patience and the faith of the saints. So we have to say, the earthly life is good, but it's not eternity. I look for eternity as a better life, forever and ever and ever without tears, without sorrows, and without pain. And then we're going to go on to Revelation chapter 13, 11. Are you still okay for a little time, or do you want me to stop? Is everybody okay? Good. Thank you so much. Good. So we're now going to go on to the second beast. And again, it's an allegory and a metaphor. An allegory is a picture with a hidden meaning, and a metaphor is a symbolic picture of someone else and his character. So now let us read Revelation chapter 13, verse 11. And there it says, Then I saw another beast coming out of the earth, and he had two horns like a man, and spoke like a dragon. I saw another beast coming out of the earth, and he had two horns like a man, and he spoke like a dragon. Now we know that the dragon is the devil, so as he speaks like a dragon, he speaks words from the devil. But he comes with a great deception. He comes as a man. He will speak softly. He will speak kindly. He will speak things that seem to make a lot of sense. But you must always compare what that person will say to Scripture to see that it is true. And that person is also a man. And so if you would like to refer with me to Revelation chapter 19, verse 20. Revelation chapter 19, verse 20. And there it tells us that the beast was captured, that's Antichrist, and with him, he is the other beast, the false prophet who works science in his presence. By which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship his image. These two were cast a knife into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone. Wow. So here the second person is the false prophet. He comes from the earth. He comes from the earth. He has two horns. We read that the horns mean kings in the other passage. So likely he will oversee two sections of power in his reign. And now since we know that he is a man, the beast is a man, and we just read that passage. And then the sea are peoples and nations. Oops, I've got the wrong one. That's Antichrist, and now we're with the false prophet. He is a world religious leader, and he is a man. Revelation chapter 19, verse 20. And he has authority. So let us now continue with the other verses to understand more. A prophet gives things from God, but he will give things from a false god. So the next verse says, And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. And so this false prophet will turn people to worship Antichrist, this other man, this man who is not a true god. He will point to him and say, You worship him? He is God, and so he deceives many on the earth to worship the false god. And then in Revelation chapter 13, verse 13, it says, the next verse, What? What? We know Elijah from the Old Testament. And he called fire down from God. This false prophet will have powers from Satan and will be able to call down fire from heaven. And anyone that sees that will believe him. And so, I mean, we have reports from Hindus that report great wonders. We have reports from Muslims who report great wonders. We have weekly Madonnas where blood comes out of the eyes and we say this must be real. But Satan is also able to do that. People that die, nuns that die and they won't decay, Satan can do that. And so that is why we must be very careful because it's going to be nearly impossible for us to say no to this false prophet. Except we're born again, we won't have to change. Except we're born again, it is something that will well overcome us. And then verse 14, And so in this passage here, this false prophet, he talks about making an image, a statue. We don't know, it could be a 3D image. We don't know, but to make an image of this Antichrist for people to worship this man. Because he says this man was wounded with a deadly wound by the sword. And then he lived, so he's God. And he requires people to worship this image. And now verse 15, He was granted power to give what? To give breath to the image of the beast. That the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. So here the false prophet, the world religious leader, combines with the world political leader. He points to the political leader and he says, you worship him as God. You pray to that statue. If you don't, you're going to be killed. You're going to put you to death. And we know that this is true because later on in the book of Revelation, it tells us that many Christians, for instance, will be beheaded by it. I'm sorry, but it's in the word. So now verse 16, he causes all both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. So here this Antichrist, together with the false prophet, wants to mark every person on the earth. And we have heard about this already now for a couple of years. We know that some of the computer companies today have patches and they have little computer things that they can insert under your skin, on your hand or in your forehead. They're all ready for it. So we as Christians must wake up. We as Christians must realize we are in the end times. We must realize as Christians we're supposed to get to a higher plane, to become overcomers, to become ambassadors for Christ, beloved. And so now in verse 17, at that moment, no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of this Antichrist, of the beast, or the number of his name. So beloved, when this happens, you can no longer get your paycheck without the mark. You can no longer go on the subway without that mark. You can no longer go to the grocery store to buy without that mark. And this is a fearsome future, beloved. We must wake up. We must understand what the future holds for us. And so we must also remember, however, that he that is in us is greater than he that is in the world. We must also remember that he will never leave us nor forsake us, okay? So he will be with us even in great trials. And then in verse 18 it says, here is wisdom, that him that has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666. So now I cannot help you on that number, okay? Because there are many people who have tried to associate 666 with various names over our history. And so they have given 666, and they said Nero was the Antichrist. Then they said Hitler was the Antichrist. Then Mussolini was the Antichrist. Then Napoleon was the Antichrist. Muhammad is the Antichrist, the 666. Various poems were given that. In my time, Henry Kissinger was called the Antichrist by many. And now some say Donald Trump adds up to 666. I leave all of that to God, okay? I just want to be ready myself. I don't worry about the other side here. I just say, Lord, help me. Help me to get to a higher plane. Help me to become an overcomer. Help me to be a different Christian. Help me to wake up that I know what to do. And so we have come to the end of our message today. But I also say that God in the beginning, God is not marked. He gave us Jesus as the way to God. And if I don't have Jesus as the way to God, I'm sorry. And we have to consider this a lot, okay? We have to consider this. We are on the earth here. And let's say heaven is up here. And the way to heaven is only through the Lord Jesus Christ through the cross, okay? And there's a big chasm. There's hell otherwise. God says there are only two places to go to. You're either going to go to heaven through the Lord Jesus Christ or you're going to go the other way. So I urge you, I beg you, I love you, and I really mean it from the depth of my heart. One day, God convinced me that there is a hell. And when he convinced me through a vision, I kneeled and I bowed my head and I said, God, forgive me for all of my sins. Lord Jesus, please, please save me. Take my sins upon you. Make me a new person. Help me to have a different life. And so this is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ for those that do not have the gospel. And then now for us as Christians, we also have a job to do and to be and become an overcomer. And an overcomer, the verse is given here, and they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of the testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. So we overcome Antichrist by Christ, by the blood of the lamb, by depending on Jesus Christ, the name of God, the true name. We depend on Jesus to be able to overcome with higher hell. We cannot do it with regular life. We need higher hell. We need the higher hell. And the second part is by the word of the testimony. And, beloved, many of you have a problem with the word of the testimony. But ask the Lord to help you, okay? He will help you. And you can also start with trust. Come to the Bible studies for what we've asked of Griffin, to become strong as a Christian so that you can face tomorrow and what will happen tomorrow. And then the last part is don't love your physical life here on the earth to the extent that you give away your eternal life, okay? So don't do that. So I'm going to close with a word of prayer in a moment. But I just wanted to ask you, and before I dismiss the service, I just wanted to give you a chance to come if you wanted to come. Don't feel obligated. Only do it if you want to, okay? And perhaps there's someone here who has never made things right with the Son of God and needs to have a right relationship with God through his son Jesus. If there's someone here who is not right with God yet, I urge you, please, make things right with God. And so just come and I believe Brother Wayne might be coming and just play maybe one song for us as I come and stand. So don't feel obligated, but if you would like to come, then please come.
