So this sermon this evening again is a little bit different than a normal sermon So I'm kind of doing a completely different series And Sunday nights where I'm going to be doing a series of sermons And I'm going to be doing a series of sermons And Sunday nights where I'm kind of talking about some Hollywood films And the Satanism that's in these films Now the goal in this series is to address all kinds of different doctrines from the Bible But to kind of show some parallels into some of the Hollywood movies today Because that's the goal of a lot of these Hollywood films Is to just basically teach satanic type doctrines in their films Now they're going to be different from each other In the sense that last week I talked about the Truman Show And a lot of the symbolism of Satanism that's in that But the Minority Report is completely different But it still has a lot of really satanic agendas that are put into the film Now I'm just curious, who's ever seen the film Minority Report? Just give me kind of an idea, okay So it's about the same as the Truman Show If you haven't seen it, I am going to spoil the film But really, you probably need to be careful with these Hollywood films What you're filling your mind and head with I don't necessarily do this series to recommend, like go watch it I've been part of churches where they literally showed Hollywood films for the service And then tried to find Christ in the movie or something like that And that's what honestly inspired me to do the exact opposite Where I don't show the film and then I show all the Satanism in the film, okay? Now if you don't know the film, I'm going to give you a short little plot So you just kind of have an idea what the film's about Or to refresh your memory about the film The film is in April 2054 So it's a future sci-fi film set about 30 plus years from now About 32 years from now The film was made in about 2002 I believe So it was about 50 years ahead of its time, so called In the film, the federal government has created a prototype pre-crime police department It's set in Washington D.C. The goal of this pre-crime police unit is essentially only really to stop one major crime And that is murder specifically They're trying to stop murder They have successfully done it in this pre-crime division for several years They do this through three clairvoyant humans that they label precogs And they basically are psychics more or less That can visualize an impending homicide And then the officers analyze that data to determine the crime's location And apprehend the perpetrator before the crime occurs So essentially they have these three individuals that can supposedly see the future They see a crime happening before it happens And it alerts the pre-crime division to go out and arrest these individuals Before they actually carry out that particular crime It's kind of like thought crimes And also it says they live in a shallow pool, these precogs They are in sleep induced drugs that deprive them of external stimuli Their thoughts are projected on screen and stored in a database The would-be killers are then imprisoned in a benevolent virtual reality state Although pre-crime has eliminated nearly all premeditated murders during its six year existence Interesting that it's been going on for six years Okay, spontaneous crimes of passion remain problematic Leaving police limited time to intercept the killer So essentially a lot of times when people are planning out murders It gives these cops a lot of time to basically stop this particular murder But in a crime of passion it's very difficult because it's a little bit more spontaneous is what it's saying And in fact the movie basically starts with a premeditated Or I'm sorry, a non premeditated murder It's a crime of passion And it starts with a man who essentially is worried that his wife is committing adultery on him And he kind of goes and he acts like he's going to work but he doesn't really go to work He basically hides behind some trees in the neighborhood And then watches as another man basically just goes into his house And then this man then starts committing adultery with his wife So the man follows this other man into the house and is basically just kind of like hearing And seeing his wife commit adultery with another man Now if you read Proverbs, the Bible makes it very clear how a man is going to feel in that particular situation Though you'll give us many gifts, the rage of a man, the jealousy of a man He's not going to be able to just handle that So in this scenario he's supposedly going to kill his wife and this particular man that's committing adultery with her But Tom Cruise, the main actor in this film, who's chief John Anderton Figures it out and catches the guy right before he's about to kill his wife And basically her adulterer with her Now what's really sick about this film when I think about it though Is it's like hey we have a pre-crime division but we don't stop adultery It's like hey there's all kinds of fornication, adultery, all kinds of evils that the Bible describes In fact adultery is worthy of the death penalty according to the Bible Yet of course we only catch the guy that was going to commit the murder and we don't care about the adultery And it's interesting how his wife and this adulterer get away scot-free But then he gets basically put in a jail prison for the rest of his life for the idea of killing them Even though he didn't really do it but supposedly he was going to That's really what this movie is all about is free will It's about free will and determinism Is everything already decided before it's ever happened Do we really have free will And I kind of addressed a lot of the Calvinism stuff last week so I'm not really going to go too deep into Calvinism But of course we have free will But what they really want to attack in this film is the idea of God's will And is God's will, how does God's will and our free will kind of collide And this film is really kind of trying to put its toes and dip its toes in this water And that's really what Satanism is all about is dipping its toes in the ideas of how much can you rebel against God Now in this story I want to give you just a few more things to think about as far as the plot The United States Department of Justice sent an agent, a guy named Danny Witwer, it's Colin Farrell in the film And he's basically investigating this particular agency, seeing how it works He audits the pre-crime operation and precogs that predict essentially a crime of passion And while they're there doing their investigation, a ball comes out and this is basically, they get a name on a ball that basically tells them who the murderer is Well in the film, after the first few minutes of the film, a ball comes out and has Tom Cruise, the main character's name on it Who's Chief John Anderton And then it also gives you the name of the victim of who he's going to kill And it really complex, it's perplexing Tom Cruise's character because he says, I've never even met this person that I'm supposed to kill And it gives him 36 hours upon which he's going to kill him And so he ends up running away And then most of the film is just basically a chase, trying to chase him down He's trying to evade the cops and trying to figure out why these precogs have said that he's going to kill this man that he's never even heard of his entire life And it's really confusing to him Why would he do this crime as it were? And on his journey, he goes back to one of the creators of this particular system Her name is Iris Heinman And he has a conversation with her where they basically kind of talk about this precrime unit being set up and what's going on with it Now, I want to come back to this. I want to first continue, we're here in Revelation chapter 13 I know we haven't turned anywhere yet And that's for a purpose In order for, I'm going to actually explain this and then I'm going to get there When he talks to Iris Heinman, he basically says, I don't understand how I'm supposed to kill this particular man, I've never even met him I don't think that's the real future And she brings up this idea of this thing called a minority report And that's basically what the movie's about A lot of people have an alternate future that is kind of discarded by the system And the reason why it's discarded by the system is because if you could prove in a court of law that there's a possibility you weren't going to actually commit this murder Then they wouldn't be able to enforce their precrime division They basically have to, in order for the system to work, assert that whatever they say is going to happen is definitely going to happen Never alters from reality And so she tries to convince, or she basically gives him the idea that he could go and find one of these precogs And ask her if there's a minority report So there's a minority report potentially stashed in one of these precogs And he wants to go and find it And so in order to go there though, because it's a futuristic movie Technology has advanced so far that they can literally scan your eyeballs and know who you are Now think about the technology we have right now Right now, my wife, if she picks up her phone and looks at it, it unlocks Because of facial recognition software I don't have, it's kind of a little creepy for me, okay, so I haven't done it, alright I do the number pad or whatever But right now, I mean, and in fact if you have Facebook Someone can upload a picture of you and Facebook will say, hey this is Dylan Oz, do you want to tag him? And you didn't say it was Dylan Oz, it's just they can literally just look at pictures of people and they can tell who you are So this is not that far out from being a reality, in fact it probably is already here to some degree But according to this movie, everyone's eyes, basically cameras everywhere constantly scanning eyes And they can just tell who people are So he's saying, I could never get to this precrime division and basically steal this lady They'll catch me very easily, they'll see my eyes and I won't be able to get in A lot of people get in and out of buildings through eye scan So he comes up with an idea of basically removing his eyes and getting another person's eyes inserted into his eye sockets But while he's out and about, he runs into this homeless dude And they're kind of arguing and they have a confrontation And this guy looks at him and he says this quote And I find this quote really interesting, but he says, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king And then this guy shows up and he has no eyes, he's like this creepy looking dude or whatever Because he basically sold his eyes for drugs, essentially is what it's saying But then I was thinking about it, this is an interesting satanic quote if you think about it Why? Because the Bible says the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not Lest the light of the glorious gospel should sign unto them So the Bible teaches that everyone that's unsaved is blind Where's this one-eyed guy coming from then? Well, look at Revelation chapter number 13 and look at what it said in verse number 1 again And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns And upon his horns ten crowns and upon his heads the name of Blasphemy And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard and his feet were as the feet of a bear And his mouth as the mouth of a lion and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority Now the Bible is describing the future coming Antichrist And it's saying he basically has all the attributes of the previous kingdoms that are mentioned in Daniel And in the book of Daniel you have King Nebuchadnezzar, you have the Medo-Persian empire, you have the Grecian empire, you have the Roman empire They're symbolized by these animals And it's basically saying that this guy is like all of them combined It talks about ten heads which is the picture of the ten kings Which are giving the Antichrist his power But then notice how the Bible describes it It says that the dragon gave him his power Now who's that dragon? That's the devil And if you've read the Bible you understand that the devil is the god of this world Meaning that he's in control of it Think about when Jesus Christ came to this earth he was tempted by the devil And what did the devil offer to him? The kingdoms of this world Now of course the devil's a liar so everything the devil says is not true in some way We understand that What I believe is not true about that though is not that the devil didn't have the power to give that to him But yes I do believe the devil has the ability to give to whomever he wills Basically the seed of authority in this world You know the devil is the one that's putting a lot of these people in positions of authority and positions of power He's considered the god of this world And in fact when you study the Bible the king of Tyrus who is a type of the devil The Bible is saying that's the seed of Satan Why? The devil just lets men basically come into certain powers and realms of authority over this world Now obviously it's still according to God's will We understand that God's allowing the devil to allow them to have that authority But at the same time the devil has a lot of power on this earth And he essentially is setting up whom he will and he's gonna set up the antichrist He's gonna make him the one world leader But what happens? Verse 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death And his deadly wound was healed and all the world wondered after the beast Now the Bible does not say specifically that his eye is damaged I don't believe that you can find a passage that just comes out and says that But it almost seems like it has to be based on how much the Satanists and the cultists basically believe in this You know you have all this one eye symbolism of people like doing these weird things Someone's gonna take a picture of this okay You know Pastor Shelley's in the Illuminati or something right? But you have all these Hollywood stars, I mean there's like an album cover with virtually every musician doing things like this And covering their one eye and doing all this one eye symbolism And in fact one of the movie posters for the Minority Report has him having a covering over his eyes except for just ones open Okay? Symbolizing a one eyed person Now what is that quote I gave you? In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king Meaning what? To the unsaved they're gonna appoint the antichrist, the one eyed guy, they're gonna make him their king So basically somehow the antichrist is gonna get some kind of deadly wound to the head through like a sword or some kind of a knife or something And it's gonna be real obvious that it would be something that would kill a man So it can't be something that's minor Because you know a lot of times if someone gets shot they survive You can get shot with a handgun and live Okay? Depending on exactly where you're shot and how the bullet entered or exited the body You know there's a lot of factors there If you get shot in certain places you'll die very quickly But you can get shot in a lot of places and live You can even be, people have shot themselves in the face and lived People put a shotgun in their mouth and basically they were permanently damaged for forever It ruined their life but they somehow survived it Okay? So whatever wound this guy's getting is extremely severe Where everybody can just tell like this guy's dead But then somehow by a miracle he's gonna come back to life and basically everybody's gonna worship him as god They're gonna make him the king of the entire earth They're going to basically allow him to be their leader And it's no coincidence that quotes like this are just crept in in movies like this But we understand that the coming person that's going to basically take over this world is not Jesus Christ It's the Antichrist The Antichrist comes first before Christ Now look at verse 11 It says and I beheld another base coming up out of the earth and he had two horns like a lamb and he spake as a dragon So when the Antichrist dies though the Bible also teaches that the devil basically inhabits this guy's body And the devil basically takes over And he looks good on the outside, he looks like a lamb on the outside but he speaks like a dragon You know how you know who's a false prophet? Not by what they look like, not their outward showing but what they say It's their words, it's their doctrine that gives away that they're of the devil And sometimes they even parrot lambs but then when that dragon slips out you're like oh I heard that That slithering tongue slips out, oh I saw that Go if you would to Revelation 6 for a moment, just go to Revelation chapter 6 Now who is the Antichrist? The Antichrist is a coming conqueror The Bible says in Revelation chapter 6 when it talks about the seals being opened verse 1 And I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals and I heard as it were the noise of thunder one of the four beasts sang Come and see and I saw and beheld a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow And a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering and a conqueror So the end times are going to start with a conqueror This man is going to be given the power and the authority to basically conquer the world and make a one world government So when you see a world war and one man just basically conquering the entire earth That's a really scary picture for who the Antichrist could be Now we don't know for sure who it is, you know, just a hundred hundred percent until the abomination of desolation Go to 2 Thessalonians chapter number 2, 2 Thessalonians chapter number 2 But obviously those of us that know the Bible well, those that have studied the scripture I think we'll pretty much be like that's the guy I think we'll be able to pretty much tell but at the point of no return, at the point where you just know for a fact It's the Antichrist, it's the abomination of desolation It's spoken of in Daniel, it's spoken of in the gospels in Matthew, Mark and Luke It's spoken of in 2 Thessalonians and it's brought up again in Revelation It's a big event in the Bible and it kind of makes me think of this one-eyed man Okay, whatever. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 says in verse 1 Now we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto him That you be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled Neither by spirit nor by word nor by letter as from us as at the day of Christ is at hand Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come Except the coming of falling away first and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition So notice Christ cannot come until two things happen The falling away and the man of sin being revealed Now some people believe in what's called a pre-trib rapture But here's the problem The rapture has to happen after the son of man is revealed Or the man of sin, I'm sorry, the man of sin is revealed as we just read The son of perdition That event is described here as being at the midpoint of the tribulation Therefore it can't be before Because it's in the midpoint Okay, look what it says in, keep reading, it says in verse 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped So that he as God sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that he is God So you say, well when is he revealed? Verse 4, when he's sitting in the temple saying I am God When does he do that? After he dies, gets the deadly wound, comes back to life, the miraculous healing And then he basically says hey, not only am I a great conqueror, I'm actually God And then he blasphemes the God of the Bible He sets up an abomination, an image that's basically his image or something They're supposed to worship this image And that's where we get ushered in to the anti-Christ system At that point he causes all small and great to receive a mark In their forehand or in their forehead And it's a 666 Okay, that could be a lot of things Some people have believed it's a chip, a microchip I think that's possible I don't think that it has to be a chip though It could be a future technology that we don't have right now that already exists I've seen a vaccination technology where they basically just inject some kind of a liquid into your body And whenever you scan it with a phone or something, it lights up in a certain way Where you can basically see a number, a code Like a QR code or a barcode or something like that And they can scan it and they can get all the information they need from when that injection was made And information on it And of course, the solution is called luciferin Okay, I'm not joking, it's called luciferin You know, it could be that It could be a particular ink Like just think about, you know, sometimes they have little stamps they put in your hand You can't see without a black light Imagine some kind of ink that basically just sinks into the skin And just lives there and it's some kind of a barcode or some kind of a scannable device or whatever You know, it doesn't have to be a microchip specifically It could be, and I'm not even against that theory But it's certainly going to be in the hand or in the forehead Okay, and that technology is already here It's already there, okay Now it says, this guy's going to call himself God Remember verse 5, remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things And now you know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time For the mystery of iniquity doth already work Only who who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way And then shall that wicked be revealed whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth And shall destroy with the brightness of his coming Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness and men that perish Because they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie That they all might be damned who believe not the truth but of pleasure and unrighteousness Notice the reason why people go to hell is because they didn't believe the gospel Obviously we're all sinners, no one's perfect It's not sin alone that takes you to hell because it's also rejecting the gospel Because all of us have sinned But those who do not believe the truth, those who don't trust in Jesus for salvation will go to hell And notice he gives them such strong delusion they can't believe while they're alive on earth This is a term we call reprobate And yes the Bible teaches some people are reprobates Meaning they've already rejected the gospel, they hate God They're never going to believe in Jesus And because of that God basically warps their minds so much That even if Jesus were standing right in front of them They still wouldn't believe in him Just like the Jews, the Jews rejected Jesus standing right before them Preaching the word of God, I mean Jesus literally preached the gospel to them Did a miracle in front of them And they crucified him They still killed him You know it's like that stupid comedian Sarah Silverman getting up and saying That if Jesus was still alive today she'd crucify him again That's that reprobate spirit that exists in a small portion of our community The LGBT community That hates God And they would do it again And they will do it again because they'll accept the antichrist You know they didn't receive Jesus but another will come in his own name And they'll receive him Go to Daniel chapter number 12 Go to Daniel chapter number 12 Now what I find interesting about this movie And it's kind of a small parallel but It's interesting that John Anderton Tom Cruise's character He goes through with this He essentially He goes And he gets his eyes taken out And new eyes put in So now he's quote unquote Like the antichrist is gonna die and come back and become a new person Alright But what's interesting is while he's there He He cannot take off the bandages on his eyes for 12 hours Otherwise he'll go blind supposedly It'll be like permanent damage And the Cops when they show up They have a heat scanner So they can tell how many people are there So he's gonna take an ice bath to try and hide from the heat scanner But it doesn't work They still kind of catch him And they send these like little spider robots That are like creeping up through the apartment complex trying to find him And one of them catches him Grabs his eye Or bandage lifts it up and scans his eye anyways But apparently he doesn't go blind You know you kind of wonder whatever But it's kind of interesting all the parallels of the one eye guy He becomes a new man It's creepy alright And then that part of the film is just the creepiest part of the film Okay so Don't watch it But I had to go to Daniel chapter number 12 Because I want to show you An interesting parallel to 2 Thessalonians chapter number 2 It said that they're not gonna believe right Strong delusion Look what it says in Daniel chapter number 12 verse number 9 And he said Go thy way Daniel For the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end Many shall be purified and made white And tried but the wicked shall do wickedly And none of the wicked shall understand But the wise shall understand You know that's a really interesting verse It's saying like even though a guy's gonna get up And do everything that the Bible already told us Like everything I just read for you is gonna happen exactly And even though they're gonna put a mark in their right hand and their forehead And even though he's gonna call himself God I mean everything that he's gonna get the deadly wound to come back No matter what happens that's exactly like the Bible They're still not gonna get it They're still not gonna understand I mean and really it's funny because Republicans and conservatives don't understand this point That it's like they try to educate liberals and leftists And it's like it's not that they're uneducated It's not that they're not aware of the right thing It's that they're willingly ignorant There are some people that just don't want to believe the truth When you run into these people you stop trying to educate them And you realize there is no hope for that person Okay the Bible says a man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject Why? Because some people don't want to believe the truth I've met people they know the truth they just don't want to believe it And you know unfortunately that sucks I mean I would love for everyone to get saved But the reality is some people are tears amongst the wheat And notice they will do anything the Antichrist tells them Everything that he says they're gonna do And it's gonna happen exactly like the Bible said Which is gonna undermine this movie because this movie tries to pick at the idea that things are not set Things are not already determined from an ultimate will perspective Now if you go back where I talked about he visits Iris He visits Iris who is the mother of this invention of pre-crime While he's talking with her he says I'll get scanned a dozen times or I scanned a dozen times before I get within 10 miles of pre-crime Because he's saying you have to go in there and steal one of these precogs in order to get this He's like I can't do that Iris says sometimes in order to see the light you have to risk the darkness What a satanic quote that is isn't it Hey in order to see the light sometimes you have to risk the darkness Meaning what? You have to go into the occult you have to go into Satanism You have to go in the Freemasons or whatever to actually see the light Let me tell you something there is no light in darkness my friend The devil is the father of lies You know what everything that is light is done in the open You know the darkness can't comprehend the light The darkness flees from the light There is no light in darkness So she has to try and give him this satanic idea of like you know testing things And you know what you children you don't mess with things in the occult You don't mess with the Ouija boards and with witchcraft and with spells and sayings and all this kind of nonsense Whenever you have a friend that wants to get you into that you get out of that house And I remember being young I went to some friends houses some neighbors it was always my neighbors okay I went to the neighbors house and they brought out the Ouija board and you know what I did I went home They bring out the drugs you go home and you tell mom and dad That was the one mistake I made I didn't tell mom and dad You know there is nothing to be embarrassed about if your friends do something wicked You tell mom and dad every single time And you know don't get involved in this stuff there is no light in the darkness It is evil it is satanic it is wicked don't have anything to do with this junk But she also says this he says well how do I know which one of the precogs that I need to get And she says the minority report is always in the more gifted of the three The female And of course they always have to put feminism in all these films don't they Okay go into first Timothy chapter number two first Timothy chapter number two Now what is interesting about this film is these precogs it is a trinity It is three precogs that tell the future Now I wonder what that symbolizes Oh yeah it is a mockery of the trinity of the bible And I will tell you something this satanic agenda of trying to make the trinity not all male Is creeping in everywhere Where they try to have this like hybrid of men and women as a trinity And they try to teach that God is a hybrid of men and women That is a sick doctrine The bible teaches that God is male God is a man Okay that is a satanic doctrine to suggest that he is any part female I don't care what part you want to decide he is he is not female in any way Now let me prove this to you The first person of the trinity I want to talk about is the son Look what it says in first Timothy chapter two verse five For there is one God and one mediator between God and men The man Christ Jesus The bible says that God created man in his own image The woman is the glory of the man A woman is not made in the image of God Only men are made in the image of God Go to John 16 How about God the father Obviously we are not talking about a female here God the father But often who they try to blaspheme is the holy ghost And I have heard this from a lot of people They try to make the holy ghost feminine or something But you know what the bible doesn't do is make the holy ghost feminine because he is a he Look what it says in John chapter number 16 verse 13 Howbeit when he the spirit of truth is come He will guide you into all truth For he shall not speak of himself But whomsoever he shall hear That shall he speak and he will show you things to come He shall glorify me For he shall receive of mine and shall show it unto you Notice that the bible is making it abundantly clear The holy ghost is a he And the holy ghost is a person We have the father, the son, and the holy ghost We believe in the trinity Three persons, one God And the son is God The holy ghost is God God the father is God But the father is not the son And the son is not the holy ghost This is the trinity This is what we believe Anything outside of that is a reversion of who god is Now the most popular church in this area does not believe what I just told you The most popular, the biggest church in this area Gateway church with pastor Robert Morris Does not believe what I just said He has a video on his youtube channel Called male and female is the image of God Its up right now You can go check it out Male and female is the image of God, but not just any man or any woman, a husband and a wife. Because Adam and Eve weren't living in sin okay, we know that the sin was eating from the trend. So, apparently, according to Robert Morris, God is not only male and female, he's incestuous. I mean, what kind of a weird God does Robert Morris have? Where he's saying that the image of God is a man and a woman married together. That is a sick satanic doctrine, my friend, coming from the largest church in this area. I mean, they have like 30,000 people in this area going to this church on a Sunday morning. 30,000 people are being told that God is a female. Talk about feminism creeping into a church. I mean, look, feminism is creeping in everywhere. Can we please at least keep it out of the Trinity? Can we keep it out of who God is? We say, where is this coming from? You know, apparently Robert Morris is watching too many movies. Where he's turning God into a woman. He said, God wanted to create a portrait of himself on this earth. He created that in marriage. You know, when God has a portrait of himself, you know what that is? Jesus. Look at Hebrews chapter 1, Hebrews chapter number 1. If you want to know what God the Father looks like, it's Jesus. If you want to know who God is, it's the Bible. The best portrait of God is the King James Bible. It's not a marriage. Okay, that's silly. That's foolishness. That has nothing to do with scripture. The Bible doesn't teach this anywhere. Of course he wants to harp on marriage because that's what's given him his church, his popularity. But let me tell you something. Marriage is not the most important institution on this earth. Church is more important than the church. I'm sorry, church is more important than marriage. In fact, the apostle Paul said that it was even better if you didn't have the desire to get married to be like him. How does that make any sense? Because marriage is not God. Okay, now of course the Bible teaches that we are the bride as a conglomerate and Christ is like our husband-man. And we have certain parallels and certain mysteries about that. But God himself is not a marriage. God is his own being and he is a man. Look what it says in Hebrews 1 verse 3. Talking about Jesus who being the brightness of his glory, notice the pronoun his, and the express image of his person. So if you want to know what God the Father looks like, it was Jesus Christ. He is the express image of his person. They look identical. Okay, if you saw Jesus, I mean when Jesus was on this earth, he said if you've seen me, you've seen the Father. Why? Because he's his son. You know, that makes sense. You know, if you've seen me, you've seen a young version of my Father. If you see Clayton and you see pictures of me when I was his age, you've seen the same person basically. Why? Because just like our genetics carry forward that image-bearing DNA, is similar to how Jesus Christ and God the Father are except for perfect. In the sense that Jesus and the Father look like the same. Okay, that's what the Bible teaches. Now, of course, I don't look like Jesus. I don't look like God the Father. But I do look like them in the sense that I'm a man. Okay, and that is how we have that similarity. But to say that it's a woman, you know, of course that's coming in this kind of a film, teaching this trinity, to basically tell you the future. But really the whole essence of this film is just attacking free will. And here's the question. Is there a minority report? If the trinity in their movie can get things wrong, can the God of the Bible get things wrong? And here's the answer. No. No. Now in the film, the precogs can get things wrong. And that basically is what makes the film kind of an interesting movie. In Revelation chapter 1, Revelation chapter 1, it ends up that Tom Cruise's character finally gets to the scene where he's supposed to kill this guy he's never met. And the backstory of his character is that his son was kidnapped from him when he was young. And they have all these pictures on this bed, and one of the pictures is of his son, or someone that looks like his son. And so he basically puts two and two together and thinks like, oh wow, this guy is the guy that kidnapped my child. And the guy walks in, he wrestles with him, and he asks him about him, and he's like, yeah, I killed the kid. And then Tom Cruise's character, basically, he has this moment where he says, there is no minority report. I am going to kill this guy. And he basically is like, for the whole time he never thought, he's like, I never thought I would ever kill this guy. I guess they were right. I am going to kill them. But then the precog that he's stolen, and is basically taking him on this journey, looks at him and says, you know what, no one's known their future beforehand, you still have a choice. And he basically has the gun, he has a timer, and is about to hit, the clock strikes, and he doesn't pull the trigger. And he basically tries to arrest the guy. Then the guy basically is like, hey, why aren't you killing me? They told me I was going to get the insurance money if you killed me. And then he starts realizing it was a setup. But the whole premise of the movie is this, that you don't have to do what they told you you were going to do. Or that what they've determined is not going to actually happen. That you can basically circumvent their will, as it were. You can circumvent the future, you can have an alternate timeline, as it were. And let me tell you something, this is what the devil wishes were true. The devil has wished from the beginning of creation until now, that he could somehow alter the timeline of the Bible. He could go into an alternate reality. But here's the problem for the devil, look at Revelation chapter number 1, verse number 8, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending. Jesus literally is the Alpha and the Omega. He literally is the beginning and the ending. And he is the Word of God. You can't circumvent that. You can't get outside of that. There is no escape. Whatever God has decreed in the Bible will happen. In fact, the Bible is constantly telling you about future things. But let me tell you something, it's going to happen exactly like the Bible said it. And that does not change the fact that we have free will. Don't get into a weird Calvinism doctrine. Calvinism says like, well everything I'm saying God wanted me to say, everything I'm doing, and that's stupid. What you have to understand is that God is so powerful that his will can be accomplished even though you have free will. And I kind of explained this last week, but I'll say it again. It's essentially like if you grab your child's hand, okay, and you were going to walk across the street. And for some reason he decides in the middle of walking across the street that he wants to run in the other direction. But you don't want him to run in the other direction. So you basically drag him across the street. Your child didn't lose free will. He had free will the whole time. The reality is though you're stronger than him, so you basically overcame his free will because your will was accomplished. The same is with the Bible, meaning that we have free will to make decisions. But you know what, when God wants something to happen, it happens. And as Romans 9 says, who hath resisted his will? Okay, you can't resist his will. Whatever God wants to happen is going to happen. Okay, you can't escape that. But that doesn't change the fact that we ultimately still have free will on this earth. We make the decisions that we're making. It's just that God is so powerful that he can do everything he wants to do and still give us all free will at the same time. He can allow us to do whatever we want, and he's still going to do everything that he wants, exactly as he has prescribed it. Now in Revelation 22, 13, it says the same thing. Go to John 13. I want to go to John 13 for a moment. Think about some examples in your Bible where God or Jesus tell you exactly what's going to happen, and then it still happens. Think about some examples. There's some cool examples in the Bible. And you've got to think about this. Jesus is telling you everything that's going to happen, and then it happens right then. John chapter number 13, look at verse 21. When Jesus had thus said he was troubled in spirit and testified and said, Verily, I say unto you that one of you shall betray me. So Jesus has been constantly telling in the ministry, hey, one of you guys have been betraying me. One of you guys is going to betray me, right? And he says in verse number 22, then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples from Jesus' love, Simon Peter. And they were beckoned to him that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. Then he lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. Now, what I think about when I read this is I think about Minority Report, because it's basically like the ball coming out and saying, you're going to commit this crime. And he's like, no, I'm not. But it's like, yes, you are. And here's the thing. Jesus is basically handing the sop to Judas Iscariot saying, you're going to betray me. Now, Judas never lost his free will. He still has his free will. It's just that Jesus knows he's going to do it. Why? Because whatever Jesus says is going to happen exactly as he said it. Think about what kind of statements Jesus is making and then how it happened exactly like that just moments later. Not only did Judas Iscariot do this, if you think about it, the Bible says that the devil entered Judas. Now, skip down. Look what it says in verse 26. Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it. When he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop, Satan entered into him, then said Jesus on him, That thou doest do quickly. Not only is Judas complicit, not only is Judas willing to do this, the devil himself is accomplishing Jesus Christ's will exactly as Jesus wants it. The devil cannot escape God's will. Of course, the devil would love to have a minority report. You know, he tried that with Jesus first being born by killing all the babies in Bethlehem. How did that work out? He failed. Every time the devil tries to stop God, he fails. The devil is an ultimate failure. He's like Ray Comfort, always failing when he tries to get someone saved. Why? Because he has the wrong gospel. Okay, and the devil is just a constant. Think about Job 1. He goes under the god and he's basically accusing Job. He fails. He tries to get Job to curse God and it just never happens. He never forsakes God. He never blasphemes God. And the devil fails with his health. The devil fails with his children. The devil fails with taking all of his money. I mean, the devil is just the ultimate failure. The devil comes and tempts Jesus. Who won that fight? Jesus. Why? Because every single thing that God has said is going to happen, happens exactly as God described it. Go, if you would, to Revelation chapter 12. Go to Revelation chapter 12. And I know we're kind of dancing around a little bit here. But I want to make it abundantly clear that you understand everything that's in your hands right now is the future. This is exactly what's going to happen. There is no alternate reality. There is no other option. There is no secret pre-trib rapture. It's not in the Bible. The Bible says in Matthew 24, immediately after the tribulation. You know what that means? It means after the tribulation. And then it talks about Christ coming in the clouds. You could read that in Mark chapter 13. It says, after that tribulation. What tribulation? The one mentioned in Revelation chapter number 6 where you have the first seal, the second seal, the third seal, the fourth seal, the fifth seal. Not until the sixth seal do you have the return of Christ. And then the seventh seal is the wrath of God being poured out in another seven vile trumpet judgments. All that I've said hasn't happened yet. But it's going to happen exactly like I said it. You know, we have these charts that we made and one of our friends, Pastor Anderson, had someone help him make a chart about the end time future. I mean, the things that are coming straight out of the Bible, that's going to happen exactly as laid out. There is no doubt. There is no questioning. There is no ulterior. There is no minority report. Okay, my friend. Look what it says in Revelation chapter number 12. Look at verse number 7. And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon fought and his angels. And prevailed not, because he's always a loser. The devil is a big loser. He says, and neither was there place found any more in heaven. That just hasn't happened yet. To my knowledge. I mean, I don't think it's happened. You know, maybe. But I seriously doubt it because it seems like it's right before we enter in that tribulation period. I don't think we have. So, you know, maybe it has. But I kind of doubt it. The only thing I would say is it does seem like things have ramped up quite a bit recently. Okay. And you kind of wonder. But it says, and the great dragon was cast out. That old servant called the devil and Satan was deceived by the whole world. He was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now has come salvation and strength in the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ. For the accuser of our brethren is cast down which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives under the death. Therefore rejoice ye heavens and ye that dwell in them. Whoa! To the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea. For the devil's come down unto you having great wrath because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Notice that the devil knows he has a short time. Why does the devil know he has a short time? Because even though the devil will always resist God and always hope for that minority report. He realizes, hey I've lost a million times before and it's no different. I have just but a short time and he just does it anyways. It's no different than when I knock on the door of these reprobates today and they say I know I'm going to hell. But you know what? They're still going to damn other people with them. They're still going to drag other people down with them because that's who they are. And the devil is going to drag other people down with him. Go to Deuteronomy chapter 13. I have a lot more Bible but I have a couple other points that are really interesting that I want to bring up. But you cannot escape God's will. There is no minority report in reality. Now of course we get to make our own future. Every decision that you make is still on the table right now. What you're going to do tonight, where you're going to eat dinner, how you're going to choose to spend the rest of your life is on the table and that's for you. And I believe that God is a God of hypotheticals. He gives a lot of scenarios in the Bible where he says, hey if you had done this, this would have happened. If you had done that, that would have happened. So we still set the future for ourselves and for people around us. We have the opportunity to go out and preach the gospel and get people saved. And if we decide to be lazy, we're going to have missed opportunities to have gotten people saved. I believe that. But the things that we read in the scripture that are already just set, we can't change those things. Sometimes people get upset and they're like, I don't want to participate in this one world anti-Christ system that's happening. And I'm just kind of like, you can't change that. Just like me being silly, like I don't want the face scanning technology. It's not like by me deciding not to do that, the anti-Christ isn't going to come or something. Or like, well I don't use PayPal or something. I can't anyways, they blocked me. It's like, if I don't use the technology or whatever, it's like, you know, or it's like I won't show up at Target. It's like, all companies are wicked. I mean, there's no company that's righteous or whatever. So some people get this like over the top zeal to resist the new technology. Now of course, I'm pretty much set. I'm not going to take any chips or marks on my body, period. That one I will say like, okay, there's a line, right? But most technology, I mean, it is what it is. We're pretty much going to be forced to all get electric cars soon. And they're going to drive wherever they want us, drive us to wherever they want us. Hey, that's in this film too. These cars are driving wherever you want them to and it's automatic or whatever. I mean, that technology is already here. Why do you think there's such a big supply chain issue in getting all these gas cars? And I saw Ford, who knows about, Ford Lightnings. Does anybody know about this? They're releasing 150,000 new Ford all-electric vehicles. And they've already gotten 200,000 preorders. Now you know what would hurt electric car vehicle sales? Having other cars on the lot. But you know what doesn't hurt? When you can't buy any car. I mean, when they just only offer electric cars, I mean, they're going to be coming hot off the press. I think that the new Ford truck is, they said they were going to start at $40,000. Now, I'll be honest, it's going to be hard. It's going to be, I don't know if I will or not. I don't, I can't tell the future on that. But it's going to be hard not to buy an electric vehicle when you have no other option. It's way cheaper. And they just keep jacking the price of gas up. And it's like, I wonder why they keep doing all this. Oh, it's, you know, influences out of their control. Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure that that's just a coincidence that gas prices are going up. And we can't get the computer chips for the gas cars or whatever. So we're going to all have all these electric car options that can drive wherever they want. They can turn them on and off whenever they want. They can know where you're at whenever they want. I don't know if that's an agenda or anything. I'm just putting it out there. I'm being sarcastic, okay. But there is a lot of, in these films, not only Satanism, but what I call predictive programming, where they're conditioning us to accept all kinds of things. You know, there's been lots of movies with female presidents. I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow pulled that off. I mean, we're literally like a half a heartbeat away. That thing is so close. I was hoping it wouldn't be Kamala. Man, that's a bad option. But we know, I mean, Joe Biden, is Joe Biden really our president? Come on. That guy hasn't made a decision for years. Okay, that guy doesn't even choose when to use the bathroom probably, okay. That guy has no free will just because he's not there cognitively. But there is an agenda out there that's really weird. And there's a new bill called H.R. 666. Who's heard about this bill, H.R. 666? Okay, let me just read you a little bit about H.R. 666. It's titled the Anti-Racist and Public Health Act of 2021. Now, it has not gone through, I think, all of the stages. You could correct me. I'm pretty sure it's still going through committees and whatever. This proposed legislation of Anti-Racism and Public Health Act, it wants to establish within the CDC a national center on anti-racism and health and a law enforcement violence prevention program. So they basically want to create a pre-crime arm of the government, just like Minority Report, where they stop crimes before they have thought crimes. It goes to Donald Trump himself. Donald Trump did not commit treason, but he could have incited treason potentially on January 6th. So they have this pre-crime of Donald Trump and all this other nonsense. They want to create this organization, and its main objective is to declare racism a public health crisis. Worse than COVID is racism. Not only that, they want an injury prevention and control that the Department of Justice and law enforcement have a violence prevention division. Now, I can already see where this is going. When someone says something, when someone preaches something that says, oh, that could cause violence, that could be a threat, and, in fact, they want to go through. I read a lot about this. Look it up. Read it yourself. You know where I found this? Census.gov. Not some conspiracy website. I went to the government's own website and was reading directly from their website, what I just told you. You read their own website, and they're basically saying they want to go and search through every one of these government agencies and determine internal threats, domestic threats, so they can prevent future injury in these areas and arenas or whatever they decide. H.R. 666. Of course, the film Minority Report was directed by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg raised Orthodox Jewish. His paternal grandparents are, I don't know if you would guess this, Jews from what country? Ukraine. He was a Boy Scout. His early influence, movie influence, Pinocchio. Now, talk about a satanic movie filled with pedophilia, Pinocchio. That is one of those darkest films. I think it might be the darkest. If it's not, it's up there. It might deserve its own sermon, but it's so gross, I don't even want to bring it up. Steven Spielberg married Amy Irving. When they divorced, it was like the most expensive divorce that had ever happened, at least at that time, or one of the largest. A $100 million divorce. He then married a lady named Kate Capshaw from an Indiana Jones film. She ended up converting to Judaism, and he had her do what's called a mikvah, and that's a weird baptism. When I say weird, you don't even know. I don't want to talk. I can't even describe it. It's so sick, okay? But this is a quote from Steven Spielberg. He said, this sheiska, or sheiksa goddess, has made me a better Jew than my own parents. So this convert... You know, when people talk about Jews, let me make it really clear what I'm saying. I'm talking about people that are a part of a religion, an anti-Christ, God-hating religion called Judaism. Kate Capshaw is not an ethnic Jew. There's nothing wrong with being an ethnic Jew. There's something wrong with converting to the religion of Judaism, and going through this mikvah, or whatever nonsense that you have to do in order to basically become... She was like a former Christian that renounced Christianity and became a Jew, and he calls her a goddess. Dude, it's sick what these people are like. I mean, this is the director of the film. I wonder if there was any satanic influences. How about Tom Cruise himself? The disciple of Scientology. And this guy has so many weird things attached to him. And I've looked it up, because I've always heard this about his wives, but in masonry, and basically the Masonic Lodge, or in a lot of these occult-type followings, they have a weird obsession with the number 33. And, in fact, that's the highest order in the Masonic Lodge. A 33-degree mason is basically their highest point of elevation. Well, it's interesting that Tom Cruise married three women. He married Mimi Rogers, and divorced her in 1990. Now, Mimi Rogers was born in 1956, so he divorced her when she was 33. Nicole Kidman is another one that Tom Cruise married. Divorced her in 2001, she was born in 1967, when he started the divorce, 33. Then he married Katie Holmes. Divorced her in 2012, when she was 33. That's not a coincidence, my friend. These people are practicing all kinds of weird, sick, occult things that are going on. Okay? Of course, they're in these films. And, you know, I should have brought this up. You know, Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey is so satanic. I mean, that guy has literally been on SNL, dressed as the devil. On purpose, and then said he's, like, the satanic priest of the Illuminati. But he said he was joking. He also was in a film called Bruce Almighty, where he basically gives himself all the attributes of God. But these people are sick. And, at the end of the day, you know, the Hollywood films are filled with just Satanism. I mean, it really doesn't matter. People have been telling me, I've been told about, like, dozens of films that people want me to do a ceremony on. Because it's just like every film. And I don't know. I probably will do a couple more. But I had you go to generation 13, right? Here's the points that I want to finish on, okay? Because the Antichrist is coming, we can't stop it. God is a trinity, and what he has decreed is going to happen. And there is going to be a point when the Antichrist is here that he's going to do miracles. And these miracles are going to be believed by a lot of people. That's what God even gives them in this strong delusion. Look at what, it's interesting, in Deuteronomy 13, look what it says in verse 1. If there arise among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign of the wonder come to pass, where have ye spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them? Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God proveth you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. The Bible says that false prophets can actually do certain types of miracles to try and get people to not believe the Bible. And you know what makes me think of? People like this Todd White. Going around, praying for people, doing little things or whatever, and I've thought about this. I'm like, Todd White could walk in this room, lay his hands on someone that's sick, and they recover immediately, and I would still believe he's a false prophet. Why? Because signs and wonders do not prove if you're of God or not. Notice what the Jews wanted. They wanted a sign and a wonder. But Jesus said, Hey, the only sign you're going to get is the sign of the prophet Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the well's belly, so shall also the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. You know what they got? The gospel. And you know what gets my gears going? The gospel. Not some sign, not some wonder, not some event. The devil is going to perform miracles. And when you read the Bible, he's already done it, and he's going to do it again. The Egyptians in Egypt, I'm sorry, the magicians in Egypt, they performed all manner of miracles. They literally had snakes from a rod. How is that not a miracle? I mean, I've never done that. And you know, sometimes people will go into the occult, they'll go into these satanic groups, and they will see wonders and signs and say like, Oh, well, I saw power. I saw all these weird things happen. I've seen, you know, such and such happen. Maybe they have. But let me tell you something. That is not a substitute for the word of God. And the word of God is going to happen. And you know what? God's serpent ate both of those serpents up and came back into a rod. Just like Jesus Christ is going to come and consume the Antichrist. And think about it. There was two snakes, right? The Antichrist and the devil are going to be consumed by Jesus Christ, by his rod. He's going to come and he's going to consume them with his mouth. Think about this. The serpent opens up and eats the two serpents, just like Jesus comes and he opens up his mouth. And Revelation chapter 19 is going to consume him with the brightness of his coming, with the sword which proceeds out of his mouth. A lot of symbolism there. But we don't believe signs and wonders. We believe the Bible. We hear the word of God. That's what we put our faith in. That's what we put our trust in. And there's coming a day where there's going to be a great falling away, where people are chasing signs and wonders and miracles and not the Bible. And the only way to win these people over is with the word of God. Not with some, you know, fancy trick up my sleeve. You know, John the Baptist, the greatest man born among women, the Bible says he did no miracle. No miracle. Why? Because it's not about miracles. You know, Jesus did a lot of miracles and they didn't convince anybody. Go to Ecclesiastes chapter 1. Ecclesiastes chapter number 1. I just have a few more verses and we'll finish this evening. Ecclesiastes chapter number 1. Do not believe you can escape God's will. You know, it's like some people have this idea that if they just wish for the gospel decision to go away, it will. It's like, hey, if you were to die today, are you 100% sure you go to heaven? And it's like some people just want to avoid that, as if somehow that stops it from being a reality. It's like you could literally die at any moment and you could wake up in hell for all of eternity. Why would you wait? Why would you not decide? Well, it's just like they hope that it just goes away or it's not real or there's, you know, well, I guess I'll just have to see or, you know, I guess we'll just, no one knows what's going to happen. And it's like, yeah, we do know what's going to happen because God already told us. It's going to happen. And, you know, it's a point on a man who wants to die. We're going to die at some point. But let me tell you something. You can't change what God's already done. Look at Ecclesiastes 1.15. That which is crooked cannot be made straight. Hey, quit trying to reform the LGBT community. It ain't going to happen. You know, they've tried to shock them straight. Didn't work. You know, and a lot of evangelicals have been criticized for electroshock therapy. That's stupid. Okay, unless it's the electric chair. Now, look at chapter 3, verse 11. He hath made everything beautiful in his time. Also he hath set the world in their heart so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Notice, no man can understand all the works of God. I don't care if you're Elon Musk. You can't figure it out. The smartest man will never even come within a speck of God's knowledge, of God's understanding. And you can't stop what God has put in motion. I mean, if you understood how small you are in comparison to the earth, or the sun, or the universe, I mean, we're talking about arrogance and pride. If you think you can somehow alter all of that, good luck. You know, good luck terra-farming Mars, Elon, okay? You know, Genesis 1 was pretty easy to read, but doing it is a lot different. Okay, not going to happen. Look at verse 14. I know that. Whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever. Nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it, and God doeth it that men should fear before him. Notice God wants man to fear him because you can't alter what God said. What does the devil want? The devil wants you to not fear God and to tempt fate, to take of the forbidden fruit, to become a God, to be enlightened, to sample the darkness, to go and hang out with their crowd. But let me tell you something. You know what? What God has already said and decreed isn't going to change. The light is the light and the darkness is the darkness. You're not changing. Look at Isaiah 55. Last places of eternal, okay? Isaiah 55. You know, the point of Jesus Christ is to destroy what the devil has set in motion. The Bible says in 1 John 3, I'll just read for you. It says, He that committed sin is of the devil, for the devil senteth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. So what Jesus Christ came to do is to destroy the works of the devil. And let me tell you something. He's going to do it. And what is the works of the devil? Sin and death. Sin and death. The devil is introducing sin in the garden. And what is the consequence of sin? It's death. And what is Jesus Christ going to do? Jesus Christ is going to literally destroy sin and death. Those of us that have believed in Jesus Christ in our new man are incapable of sinning. Our old man sins every day. And that's why we have to war with that flesh and we war with the spirit. We try to walk in the spirit daily, okay? But that new man is created in righteousness. It's created in God after God's seed, meaning that we cannot sin. And when we shed this flesh, when you physically die, that is the last day you will ever sin. You will never sin ever again. And you'll never die. The moment you believe in Jesus Christ. Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this. Now your old man will die, but that new man inside of you will never die. And of course death is a state of being and hell is its location. Meaning you will never go to hell. We will be in heaven until our body is recreated and we're resurrected. And then we will live on earth with Jesus Christ for all of eternity. And there's no sea. Alright? I like that. I hope there's golf courses. If I could be selfish, I hope there's still like golf. And somehow if there's steak, I don't know. It seems like people are like, we go back to a vegan state or something. I'm like, I don't know. It'll still be heaven, okay? Alright. That's why I'm loading up on steak now. I have the chance. Okay, now is the accepted time. Okay. Isaiah 55, look at verse 10. For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven and returneth not thither, but water at the earth and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereunto I sent it. Notice that God's word will accomplish what he has sent it to do. Everything that God has said is going to happen. There is no minority report. That is a satanic movie. That has nothing to do with the Bible. And we need to be careful about the influences that come into our mind and give us bad ideas, satanic ideas. And then they creep across pulpits today like Robert Morris' pulpit saying that God's a woman. You cannot escape God's will. Our duty is to believe his word, not to sow any kind of doubt. The devil wants to sow doubt into God's word. We're supposed to put our trust in God's word. Minority report is sowing doubt in the precogs, but it's a fake trinity. It's a fake God that they have. We are actually supposed to put 100% confidence in the trinity in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. These three are one, and you know what? Their witness is always true. Let's close in prayer. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for giving us the word of God. Thank you for giving us the truth. Thank you for being no... Thank you that there's no darkness in you. I pray that even though we realize dark times are coming and that the devil is doing his work on this earth, that we wouldn't fear him, but we'd only fear you, and that you would give us great grace, you would give us great power and strength and courage. The Bible says that if we resist the devil, he'll flee from us. I pray that we would resist the devil in our lives. Our church would resist the devil, and we would preach the gospel with power, that we would see many people saved. We would understand the importance of our role on this earth, and that is to put all of our trust in the word of God. I pray that we wouldn't doubt the word of God, that we wouldn't listen to liars or deceivers out there, but rather we would just submit ourselves. And I just thank you for all you give us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Make sure to stick around for the couple baptisms after the service, and we're going to go to our fourth song, 375, Work for the Night is Coming, song 375 in your hymnals. Again, that's 375. Work for the Night is Coming. Sing it all together on the first. Work for the night is coming, work through the morning hours, work while the dew is sparkling, work mid-springing flowers, work when the day grows brighter, work in the glowing sun. Work for the night is coming, when man's work is done. Work for the night is coming, work through the sunny noon. Fill brightest hours with labor, rest come sure and soon. Give every flying minute, something to keep in store. Work for the night is coming, when man works no more. Work for the night is coming, under the sunset skies, while their bright tents are glowing. Work for daylight flies, work till the last beam faded, faded to shine no more. Work while the night is darkening, when man's work is o'er. Amen, thank you all for coming. God bless, you are dismissed. .
