Adam and Eve did not see God create them. God wanted to test them to see if they had faith in His Word that He was truly their origin and Creator and to find out if they would thus display their love and devotion for Him by commanding them to not eat fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. This tree was not fundamentally different from any other tree in the garden except as God had set it aside as off limits for man's personal use. The garden of Eden is no longer with us, but God has made another test and sign of faith for His people that has often been cast aside, forgotten or ignored. Pastor Bohr compares the many aspects of the test of the forbidden tree with the test that God has given especially in these last days of keeping the Sabbath holy. Just like the tree was similar to the others in Eden, it is no different from any other day of the week, except that God has set it aside for holy use and not for our everyday personal pursuits. It also tests our loyalty as to Who our Creator and Authority is and warns against us attempting salvation by our own merits or thinking we developed from natural causes and are immortal. We do not choose what day we want to become holy and set apart for worship. Only God has that right and He has chosen the seventh-day Sabbath as holy ground which we are to honor and respect. God alone can define what is holy and good and what is evil and when we set up our own definitions we make ourselves as God and rebel against the fact that we are His creatures. This revealing presentation shows just how the Bible explains that the Sabbath is the test, mark and seal for God's loyal people today and how it is the center and focal point of the covenant between God and His people as given in the Ten Commandments. It further reveals why satan has such a hatred against it as it stands in the way of his claim to be God. He inspired the Jews of old to break and disregard it many times and he continues to dismantle it today as most of the Christian church no longer believe in its validity. Pastor Bohr shows how this came about through the power and decrees of the beast power of the Middle Ages, and how satan thus deceived men and set up a rival day of worship, Sunday, to counteract what God has chosen. Through deceit and long-practiced tradition, he has made it a counterfeit replacement of the true test of worship and loyalty. Pastor Bohr shows clearly how this is really a form of idolatry and how it will become a world wide issue in the very end, as men will be forced to choose whose authority they will accept as revealed in the sign that they will keep-God's mark and seal or the mark and seal of the beast. True worship and who we will obey are the final issues all will be tested on.

The events of Revelation 12 are expanded upon in Revelation 13. Pastor Bohr here compares chapter 13 with Daniel 7 as the battle between the Prince and the dragon is described in more detail. The symbols in Daniel 7 of four beasts, ten horns, winds and waters, and the identity of the little horn are all clearly deciphered. He then shows how the first beast of Revelation 13 is the same power as the little horn Antichrist. Just as Nebuchadnezzar tried to change God's order of prophetic events, so most Christians today have been fooled by the devil to think that the Antichrist has not appeared in history yet, but this presentation proves otherwise. This Antichrist beast has two major stages in history and has almost fully revived after it had been given what appeared to be a deadly wound. Pastor Bohr unravels the clues in these chapters as to who this beast is, how it was judged at the end of its first stage, and how to find the meaning of the number 666 which represents its name.

In this sermon, Pastor Bohr examines this play and counterplay of history as revealed by symbols in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar's image in Daniel 2. This foundational chapter is the skeleton, framework and overview for all the rest of Bible prophecy. God is shown to overrule in history to defeat satan's purposes of world control. Each metal in the image represents a world empire in which each followed the other, thus confirming the historical flow interpretation of prophecy that opens up most clearly where we are in prophetic events. A very interesting section of this sermon goes into detail on what the clay means that is mixed with the iron in the feet and toes of the image. This sermon will encourage you that God will work everything out for good in our complex world and He will win the battle in the end. Help us caption & translate this video! http://amara.org/v/B1vE/

In this sermon, Pastor Bohr studies a story which is a prime showpiece of Genesis' pattern of recording historical events that also have prophetic significance. The story of Abraham's willingness to offer Isaac as a sacrifice clearly has many parallels to God the Father offering His submissive and willing Son Jesus to die in our place and to His subsequent resurrection. Even the very place where the temple was to be built and where Jesus would die, as well as the amount of time He would suffer and what material He would be sacrificed on, was foreshadowed by this event. Jesus was the One Who made the promises to Abraham about his Seed that would restore to mankind the worldwide dominion, conquering of enemies, abundant blessings, and holy descendants that Adam had forfeited. He alone fulfilled His own promise, through His perfect life and death, and gives these blessings to all spiritual Israelites who accept Him. Pastor Bohr underlines the important Bible truth that all these promises were made, not to Abraham's human descendants, to be fulfilled by and in the nation of Israel, as many prophecy teachers erroneously teach today, but only to Abraham's unique and "only begotten" Seed, Christ, Who alone perfectly fulfilled them. No promise that He has made can ever be irrevocably given or fulfilled to Israel or to anyone else as long as they do not accept Him as the only perfect Seed of Abraham. We must all be adopted by baptism into Him as His brothers and sisters in order for the blessings to shared with us. This encouraging sermon will show that when we are tested with trials and sorrow and seem to have no way out, "the Lord will provide" for us what He has said He would.

Not only did Jesus apply the story of Noah as having parallel end time events, but He also said that the story of Lot in Sodom is both historical and prophetic as well. Pastor Bohr shares amazing comparisons between the judgment messages of the three angels that visited Sodom just before it fell and the messages of the three angels of Revelation 14 who warn of a judgment of fire and brimstone coming upon those who refuse to leave spiritual Babylon, who commits spiritual immorality, is focused on materialism and is full of self-satisfied ease and pride. Like Lot, who tried to warn any who might be still righteous to get out of the city, we are called with a message for God's people to come out of this worldwide corrupted system before it is too late. The angels protecting Lot and closing shut the door of his house, the smoke rising from Sodom, the "eternal fire" that burned Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, the four types of people described in this story, all have their counterparts in the final judgment of this world. Many believe the wicked will be the ones burning forever in hellfire, but Pastor Bohr shows us how the Bible clearly says that only the righteous will be able to survive and live in the eternal fire. Find out what this "fire" really is and how this story proves the Adventist view of the doctrine of hell to be the correct one. He also shares what Christians need to be like in order to become fireproof, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were, and to stand through the judgment and the final destruction of this world.
