Father in heaven, it seems like time is just flying.

I thought it was going to be longer, but it's going so quickly, Father.

Every moment we have, Lord, we're preparing for eternity.

You know this, I ask, Father, that you send the gift of your Holy Spirit in greater measure than the first 2 sessions, that you may write the realities of the times, write the reality of our condition, And write the reality of our high priest in our heart.

I pray all these things in the name of Jesus, and we claim the merits of his holy and most precious blood.

I would like you to open your Bibles with me to Revelation, the 14th chapter.

Don't forget anything that we covered already.

Revelation the 14th chapter and we're dealing with the stage is set.

Revelation the 14th chapter and we're going to begin reading at verse number 9.

Revelation 14 in verse 9, the Bible says, and the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, if any man who wisheth the beast And his what?

You ever ask yourself the question, why image?

Why didn't the Bible describe it as something else?

But the Bible uses this imagery on purpose.

The beast and his image, whosoever wish the beast and his image, the same, if any man wish to be and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation, and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

And the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever, and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his what?

Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

So I've asked myself the question before, because I remember reading from the Pen of Inspiration where she says that this third angel, this third angel's message is justification by faith in verity.

I said well how in the world does she come to that conclusion based on this verse, these verses, this passage of scripture?

What is justification by faith in verity?

So the word I looked up, because I wasn't too familiar with it at the time, the word is verity.

That word verity means realness, genuineness, truthfulness.

So this passage, as commented on by our prophetess, says The third angel's message is, justification by faith, is the third angel's message in truth, or in realness.

Are you paying attention to what I'm saying to you?

All right, so now with that idea in your mind, I began to investigate.

I said, okay, Lord, well, how does this play in?

If you go back to Revelation chapter 13, I want you to look at verse 10.

If I had a circle on the board, I would draw a circle, but I don't have 1, but I'm going to just use your imagination.

Revelation 13 10, it says, he that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity.

He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.

Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Now this phraseology used here to describe God's people fits within a time frame of the 1260 years.

So there's 1260 years of papal supremacy and God describes his people that live during this time as having patience and having faith.

So now, what I wanna do, Let's go to the screen.

The stage is set, and my subtitle is Imagination.

You can play around when you make titles.

Genesis chapter 6, and we're going to begin reading at verse number 1.

It says, and it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and they took them, wives of all that they chose.

And the Lord said, my spirit should not always strive with men, for he also is flesh, yet his days shall be 120 years.

There were giants in the earth in those days and also after that that the sons of God came into the daughters of men and they bear children to them the same became mighty men which were of old men of renown and God saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually.

The Bible says, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is what?

The whole nation was corrupted because of their mind.

The whole world is in disarray because of their imagination.

What takes the majority of your thoughts?

So if you're on the internet and you're browsing, if you like basketball, or if you like the styles, or you're looking at the next hip hop video, or you want to know the next movie coming out, If that's what you want to be, keep watching it.

Just keep, if you want to watch horror movies and create all that adrenaline rush in your body, go ahead, have a great time.

If you want to, you know, watch sex and pornography and that's what you want to be you think that's the highest that God has for you keep doing what you do Nobody's trying to stop you But if you want to be like Jesus You want to reflect His character and His person and who He is?

I challenge you to turn away from that which would pollute your imagination and turn to the image of God and His Son.

I'm going to read something to you from Steps to Christ.

Steps to Christ, page 70, and it's the second paragraph.

It says, A life in Christ is a life of restfulness.

There may be no ecstasy of feeling, but there should be an abiding peaceful trust.

Your hope is not in yourself, it is in Christ.

Your weakness is united to his strength, your ignorance to his wisdom, your frailty to his enduring might, so you are not to look to yourself.

So you are not to look to yourself, not to let the mind dwell upon self, but look to Christ.

Let the mind dwell upon his love, upon the beauty, the perfection of his character, Christ in his self-denial, Christ in his humiliation, Christ in his purity and holiness, Christ in his matchless love.

This is the subject for the soul's contemplation.

This is a subject for the soul contemplation.

It is by loving him, copying him, depending wholly upon him that you are to be transformed into his likeness.

I remember back in the day, I used to listen to Mary J.

And I remember listening to, I used to listen to that.

And at Blockbuster Video, when you work there, you can take 5 movies home every night.

So I would take 5 movies, I would watch all of them.

I nearly watched every video that Black Birthday Video had out when I was working there.

So when people came in, I was like, yeah, this is the best movie out here.

This is, Shouse Shack Redemption, You gotta watch that.
