♪♪ I'm delighted that you've joined us for this series titled, 3 Cosmic Messages, Earth's Final Conflict.

In this series, we're focusing on the book of Revelation, but specifically on 3 messages in Revelation, Revelation 14, verse 6 to 12.

When many people think of Revelation, they think of mystic symbols, they think of strange beasts, they think of weird images.

But yet Revelation 1, verse 1 says the revelation of Jesus Christ.

So the book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus to grant to us insight into the last days of verse history and prepare us for the coming of Jesus.

In fact, Revelation chapter 1 verse 3 says, blessed are they that read and hear and do the things that are therein.

So as we study the book of Revelation, but particularly this very heart of Revelation, Revelation 14, 6 to 12, we are studying the very messages of Christ to prepare a people for Jesus' soon return.

I want you to bow your heads with me just now as we pray and ask God to come in a very special way to minister to our hearts, to speak to our hearts, to impress us with his last day message.

Father in heaven, as we open your word, as we study the book of Revelation.

I pray that the words would leap right off the page, that the Holy Spirit would guide, direct, and strengthen us.

Guide us as we go into this presentation today, a moment of destiny.

Now let me review just for a moment our last presentation for you in this series, 3 Cosmic Messages or Earth's Final Conflict.

In our last presentation we talked about the fact that Jesus Christ is indeed Lord of all.

We pointed out that Jesus is the 1 who had victory over Satan in the heavenly realms.

We pointed out that the dragon fought against Christ, but yet the dragon Satan was cast out of heaven.

In heaven, in that first episode, Jesus won and Satan lost.

Satan was so vicious against Christ that he then tried to destroy Christ on earth when Jesus was born as the male child that would rule with the rod of iron.

We pointed out that this expression, rod of iron, is a symbol of invincible, everlasting dominion, principle, or rulership, that Jesus again would reign and defeat Satan.

Satan tried to destroy him, but Jesus was led with Mary and Joseph into Egypt, directed by an angel, and protected there.

Satan stalked Jesus all of his life and tried to destroy Jesus there, but yet Jesus was victorious in the wilderness with his temptations over Satan.

In his resurrection, Jesus was victorious.

And in his intercession in heaven, Jesus is victorious.

Jesus wins, Satan loses in that second episode.

Revelation chapter 12 gives us the panorama of history down through the ages.

Revelation chapter 12 reveals the plans of God And it shows us that Christ has never lost a battle with Satan yet.

During the great dark ages, remember Revelation 12 talks about this 1260 years, this period of the Middle Ages.

In the last days of verse history, Revelation 12 comes to an end with Revelation 12, verse 17.

And in Revelation 12, 17, it says, the dragon, Satan, is angry with the woman, goes to make war with the last part of her seed who keep the commandments of God.

The issue in the last days is that Jesus will win, Satan will lose, and Christ will come on a rescue mission.

This intergalactic struggle will be over.

In Earth's final conflict, God's people will win and Satan will lose.

In our program today, I've titled this program, A Moment of Destiny.

You know that something is going on in this world and we're at a moment of destiny.

Things have changed in our world dramatically in the last few years.

There's been a loss of confidence in governmental institutions and institutions in general.

Western society is at a moment of destiny.

Things that we counted on in the past have seemed to fade away.

There seems to be no compass to guide us, no north star to direct us.

1 writer said this, Christian morality is being ushered out of American social structures and off the cultural main stage, leaving a vacuum in its place, and the broader culture is attempting to fill the void.

In other words, this nation that has been built on Christian principles, Christian ethics, has seen those ethics eroding.

Things that would have been determined unconscionable decades ago are accepted as moral norms in our society today.

As we look at our society, new research reveals a growing concern about the moral condition of the nation, even as many American adults admit that they're uncertain about how to determine right from wrong.

Pew Research, 1 of the more renowned research organizations in the United States, when it surveyed Americans, discovered that many were uncertain.

There's nothing that guides our ethical behavior.

Many people feel if I think it's right in my own mind, it must be right.

If I believe that something is acceptable to do, I can do it.

So there is no guide, no standard higher than the human mind.

Many people are uncertain how to determine right from wrong.

80% of Americans, according to the Barner Research Group, regardless of their ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, or political ideology, express concern about the nation's moral condition.

80 percent of Americans really have serious doubts, concerns.

They're perplexed about the moral condition of America today and the world.

In 1960, approximately 72% of the United States population said they trusted the government almost always to make the right decisions.

That's almost three-fourths of Americans.

Today, only 19 percent of the population say they trust the government to almost or always do the right thing.

That is 81% do not trust the government to do the right thing.

When you look at that, that is a whopping large number.

A loss of confidence in government institutions, a loss of confidence in political institutions, loss of confidence, many, in the medical care that can be provided in the United States.

The United States spends more on medical care than any other nation, yet our outcomes are not in the top 25.

There's longevity is much longer in many other nations than in America today.

So people are losing confidence in society in general.

There's this new spirit of rugged individualism that's coming back where people begin to feel I have to care for myself, but yet they're incapable of doing that.

Lives tend to be more stressful, more harassed, and people's lives seem to be falling apart.

When popularity is more important than purity, a nation is in trouble.

When money is more important than morality, a nation is in trouble.

When entertainment is more important than ethics, A nation is in trouble.

When pleasure, indeed, again, is more important than purity, a nation is in trouble.

When there's confusion of sexual roles and sexual orientation, And God's original plan of 1 man married to 1 woman for a lifetime is flagrantly violated.

And when children, even of kindergarten age, first grade age, are given a choice of various genders.

A nation is in deep trouble when the roles are confused in sexual lines.

When crime is rampant in our streets, when Christ is mocked in our schools, a nation is in trouble.

When we look at these signs in our society, we sense that we are living in the days of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Those great prophecies that Christ gave in Matthew chapter 24, the signs of His coming.

Those great prophecies that Christ gave in Luke 21, of the signs of His coming in 2 Timothy.

The book of Revelation was made for this generation.

The 3 messages that God gives to us in Revelation are messages for this time at this hour of Earth's history.
