Spirit Of Antichrist Rising
00:05:00
|
|
| The world is, I say it's coming apart in a manner that we've never seen before. | |
| There's a spirit of Antichrist, a spirit of demon. | |
| You know, Franklin Graham, when Billy Graham lay in state in his coffin, actually, we went to Franklin's office, and he shared something with me that was given to him by God. | |
| And he said that God spoke to him when his, they called him daddy, when daddy died, that it would signal demons coming out of hell. | |
| I have it right here. | |
| I keep it right here in my Bible. | |
| He said, the demons of hell are going to be unleashed. | |
| That was when Billy Graham died February 2018. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And look where we are, and you cannot determine that. | |
| And there's been. | |
| You know, I thought of that for the first time in months in the green room with you when we were talking about the unleashing of all these demon spirits and power that's going on in the world today. | |
| And I believe this. | |
| I believe that what you see, you can't figure it out because it's demon power. | |
| And our nation is going the opposite of under God. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, Pastor Jim, listen, what you just said and what Franklin Graham said is a biblical declaration. | |
| You see it very clearly in the New Testament. | |
| And I don't want to turn this into a 30-minute preaching, so let me just say I'm thinking of two scriptures immediately. | |
| First of all, of course, in the book of Revelation, which speaks of the very last days before the coming of the Lord. | |
| And I know we don't set dates. | |
| I'm not doing that. | |
| But I'm saying, good gosh, we're living in the most prophetic time since the first coming of Jesus Christ. | |
| And we're watching a demonic outpouring that is going globally like the world has never seen, which matches the days of Noah. | |
| Of course, it wasn't global then because the whole earth hadn't been settled and discovered by humanity, but now it is. | |
| And the Bible says in Revelation chapter 9, it talks about the abyss being opened and all manner of vile things coming out in the last days, the torturous things, ugly, nasty things, things that are unbelievable. | |
| And it even says in those days people will want to die and they can't. | |
| And a lot of our technology is headed that way now. | |
| So all of that we see, and it sounded so odd, a passage of scripture, and so strange 20 years ago and all the way back to when it was written 2,000 years ago. | |
| But in our day, we can speak about it. | |
| I can get here and speak about it, and I can look out in the audience here and look at you and people are going, yeah, yeah, I see how that's, yeah, yeah. | |
| We're the only generation that can do that without feeling crazy about it. | |
| We're not crazy. | |
| We see it. | |
| We're living in it. | |
| Right. | |
| All right. | |
| So we understand that a lot of that imagery, probably metaphorical, John saw stuff that he had never seen before. | |
| And the Spirit says, write, use your words and write what you think you see. | |
| And he says, I saw something that looked like. | |
| It sounded like. | |
| It did this. | |
| It did that. | |
| He didn't know what he was looking at. | |
| We kind of know now. | |
| I mean, you know, we might not be able to nail it down each image, but we can understand this is involving demonic outpouring. | |
| It's involving a lot of technological wonders that to us just everyday stuff. | |
| To John, it was science fiction. | |
| But then I think also, Paul is writing Timothy, and you and I were talking about this before, Pastor Jim. | |
| And he says, you know, the Spirit clearly says, all right, so that's the word of God, that in the last days, he didn't even say to Timothy, in your day, necessarily, although he was warning him, get yourself ready. | |
| But the Spirit clearly says that in the last days, there will be doctrines of demons. | |
| Now, we were talking about this, excuse me, a little while ago. | |
| That word doctrine throws people off a lot of times, especially people in the church, because we automatically think that's a religious word, a theological word, doctrine, the doctrine of salvation, the doctrine of the Trinity, the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the doctrine of the person of God. | |
| Okay, and that's true. | |
| But truly, that word is a ubiquitous word that's used in every avenue of life and technology and everything else. | |
| A doctrine is something that's a declared truth that has a skin wrapped around it of information that they think bolsters that truth. | |
|
Doctrines Sweeping the Planet
00:00:41
|
|
| Okay? | |
| So today we have the doctrine of what the Supreme Court says a marriage is. | |
| We have the doctrine of what's in the womb of a woman. | |
| We have the doctrine of what gender you want to be. | |
| We have the doctrines of, you see what I'm saying? | |
| How it's gone. | |
| And people just in the last five or six, seven years have seen all of these things just really take life and they're saying, what is happening? | |
| What is happening? | |
| Well, it's that. | |
| It's the doctrines of the demonic are sweeping the whole planet, not just the United States, not just China, not just North Korea. | |
| That's a shock. | |
| Everywhere. | |
| The same stuff that's happening in America is happening worldwide. | |
| Everywhere. | |
| And that's the sign. | |
| Even Israel. | |
| That's the sign. | |
