- temporary victory for Satanand all of hell.
- 00:07:03.369 --> 00:07:05.037
- and all of hell.It's a true story about
- 00:07:05.037 --> 00:07:06.038
- It's a true story aboutthe war between
- 00:07:06.038 --> 00:07:07.807
- the war betweenEngland and France.
- 00:07:07.807 --> 00:07:11.043
- England and France.Napoleon had invaded England,
- 00:07:11.043 --> 00:07:12.778
- Napoleon had invaded England,and everyone knew in that nation
- 00:07:12.778 --> 00:07:14.647
- and everyone knew in that nationof England that if they didn't
- 00:07:14.647 --> 00:07:16.949
- of England that if they didn'tmake a stand and stop Napoleon
- 00:07:16.949 --> 00:07:19.685
- make a stand and stop Napoleonat a place called Waterloo,
- 00:07:19.685 --> 00:07:21.487
- at a place called Waterloo,the whole nation would fall.
- 00:07:21.487 --> 00:07:22.288
- the whole nation would fall.They would all go
- 00:07:22.288 --> 00:07:24.390
- They would all gointo captivity.
- 00:07:24.390 --> 00:07:26.025
- into captivity.And so, the Battle of Waterloo
- 00:07:26.025 --> 00:07:29.061
- And so, the Battle of Waterloobecame critical.
- 00:07:29.061 --> 00:07:30.329
- became critical.The British captain
- 00:07:30.329 --> 00:07:32.198
- The British captainwas named Wellington.
- 00:07:32.198 --> 00:07:33.266
- was named Wellington.He was over all of the armed
- 00:07:33.266 --> 00:07:35.201
- He was over all of the armedforces that would fight Napoleon
- 00:07:35.201 --> 00:07:37.069
- forces that would fight Napoleonand his powerful army.
- 00:07:37.069 --> 00:07:40.473
- and his powerful army.They had never been defeated.
- 00:07:40.473 --> 00:07:41.908
- They had never been defeated.And back then, they had signal
- 00:07:41.908 --> 00:07:43.643
- And back then, they had signalmen that would stand
- 00:07:43.643 --> 00:07:45.278
- men that would standon mountains and they would
- 00:07:45.278 --> 00:07:47.480
- on mountains and they wouldsend signals from mountaintop
- 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.081
- send signals from mountaintopto mountaintop,
- 00:07:49.081 --> 00:07:51.851
- to mountaintop,from signal man one to another,
- 00:07:51.851 --> 00:07:52.652
- from signal man one to another,until they reached
- 00:07:52.652 --> 00:07:54.954
- until they reachedthe city of London.
- 00:07:54.954 --> 00:07:55.988
- the city of London.And there in London,
- 00:07:55.988 --> 00:07:57.223
- And there in London,thousands upon thousands
- 00:07:57.223 --> 00:07:59.592
- thousands upon thousandsof people...back in those days,
- 00:07:59.592 --> 00:08:01.827
- of people...back in those days,the only form of communication,
- 00:08:01.827 --> 00:08:05.531
- the only form of communication,they erected a big billboard
- 00:08:05.531 --> 00:08:07.300
- they erected a big billboardas massive as they could see,
- 00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:08.901
- as massive as they could see,so that everybody in the streets
- 00:08:08.901 --> 00:08:10.369
- so that everybody in the streetsof London could look up
- 00:08:10.369 --> 00:08:12.138
- of London could look upand see how the battle
- 00:08:12.138 --> 00:08:14.273
- and see how the battlehad ended at Waterloo.
- 00:08:14.273 --> 00:08:15.975
- had ended at Waterloo.They knew if Wellington
- 00:08:15.975 --> 00:08:18.477
- They knew if Wellingtonhad been defeated at Waterloo,
- 00:08:18.477 --> 00:08:20.780
- had been defeated at Waterloo,then the battle was over
- 00:08:20.780 --> 00:08:21.547
- then the battle was overand they were going
- 00:08:21.547 --> 00:08:24.884
- and they were goingto become slaves to Napoleon
- 00:08:24.884 --> 00:08:27.520
- to become slaves to Napoleonand his armies.
- 00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:31.457
- and his armies.So they waited, watching,
- 00:08:31.457 --> 00:08:32.525
- So they waited, watching,and the signals started
- 00:08:32.525 --> 00:08:34.060
- and the signals startedcoming from the battlefield,
- 00:08:34.060 --> 00:08:36.529
- coming from the battlefield,how the battle had gone.
- 00:08:36.529 --> 00:08:38.164
- how the battle had gone.And just as it would happen --
- 00:08:38.164 --> 00:08:39.599
- And just as it would happen --this is a true story --
- 00:08:39.599 --> 00:08:41.033
- this is a true story --the fog started setting in
- 00:08:41.033 --> 00:08:41.934
- the fog started setting inas...if you've
- 00:08:41.934 --> 00:08:43.169
- as...if you'veever been there to London,
- 00:08:43.169 --> 00:08:44.437
- ever been there to London,it can come suddenly
- 00:08:44.437 --> 00:08:46.339
- it can come suddenlyout of nowhere.
- 00:08:46.339 --> 00:08:47.640
- out of nowhere.And as a man was writing
- 00:08:47.640 --> 00:08:49.875
- And as a man was writingon the billboard with red paint,
- 00:08:49.875 --> 00:08:51.611
- on the billboard with red paint,he wrote these words,
- 00:08:51.611 --> 00:08:52.745
- he wrote these words,and then the fog came,
- 00:08:52.745 --> 00:08:55.448
- and then the fog came,and it covered.
- 00:08:55.448 --> 00:08:56.449
- and it covered.But all they could see was
- 00:08:56.449 --> 00:08:58.718
- But all they could see wastwo words that he wrote --
- 00:08:58.718 --> 00:09:01.821
- two words that he wrote --"Wellington defeated."
- 00:09:01.821 --> 00:09:04.190
- "Wellington defeated."Wellington defeated.
- 00:09:04.190 --> 00:09:05.257
- Wellington defeated.The people of London,
- 00:09:05.257 --> 00:09:07.460
- The people of London,their hearts sank in fear.
- 00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:09.261
- their hearts sank in fear.Many began to tremble and cry,
- 00:09:09.261 --> 00:09:10.963
- Many began to tremble and cry,and some ran to their homes
- 00:09:10.963 --> 00:09:12.064
- and some ran to their homesand locked the doors,
- 00:09:12.064 --> 00:09:13.899
- and locked the doors,and others stood in the streets,
- 00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:15.601
- and others stood in the streets,dumbfounded, heartbroken,
- 00:09:15.601 --> 00:09:17.136
- dumbfounded, heartbroken,realizing that their nation
- 00:09:17.136 --> 00:09:19.171
- realizing that their nationwould never be the same.
- 00:09:19.171 --> 00:09:21.040
- would never be the same."Wellington defeated"
- 00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:23.275
- "Wellington defeated"was the message.
- 00:09:23.275 --> 00:09:24.210
- was the message.But as some were still
- 00:09:24.210 --> 00:09:26.746
- But as some were stillstanding in the streets,
- 00:09:26.746 --> 00:09:28.114
- standing in the streets,the fog began to lift
- 00:09:28.114 --> 00:09:30.016
- the fog began to liftsome time later, and someone
- 00:09:30.016 --> 00:09:31.517
- some time later, and someonehappened to look up
- 00:09:31.517 --> 00:09:32.785
- happened to look upand they realized that
- 00:09:32.785 --> 00:09:34.520
- and they realized thatthe message had been obscured
- 00:09:34.520 --> 00:09:35.554
- the message had been obscuredin its entirety.
- 00:09:35.554 --> 00:09:38.257
- in its entirety.One word was missing.
- 00:09:38.257 --> 00:09:39.492
- One word was missing.It said, "Wellington defeated,"
- 00:09:39.492 --> 00:09:40.526
- It said, "Wellington defeated,"and the word missing
- 00:09:40.526 --> 00:09:43.896

- was "Napoleon".Nobody knew.
- 00:09:45.431 --> 00:09:46.766
- Nobody knew.It didn't look like it.
- 00:09:46.766 --> 00:09:48.801
- It didn't look like it.And now, suddenly the weeping
- 00:09:48.801 --> 00:09:50.836
- And now, suddenly the weepingturned into rejoicing.
- 00:09:50.836 --> 00:09:53.139
- turned into rejoicing.Suddenly, the people realized
- 00:09:53.139 --> 00:09:56.175
- Suddenly, the people realizedthat Napoleon didn't defeat
- 00:09:56.175 --> 00:09:57.743
- that Napoleon didn't defeatour general,
- 00:09:57.743 --> 00:09:58.711

- and they were dancingin the streets.
- 00:10:05.184 --> 00:10:06.552
- in the streets.Two thousand years ago,
- 00:10:06.552 --> 00:10:09.088
- Two thousand years ago,on the cross, when they put
- 00:10:09.088 --> 00:10:13.092
- on the cross, when they putJesus...crammed that crown
- 00:10:13.092 --> 00:10:14.627
- Jesus...crammed that crownof thorns on His head,
- 00:10:14.627 --> 00:10:16.128
- of thorns on His head,and stabbed Him in His side,
- 00:10:16.128 --> 00:10:17.763
- and stabbed Him in His side,and pierced His heart up
- 00:10:17.763 --> 00:10:19.131
- and pierced His heart upthrough His abdomen,
- 00:10:19.131 --> 00:10:20.766
- through His abdomen,ripped His back to pieces,
- 00:10:20.766 --> 00:10:22.468
- ripped His back to pieces,and it looked like that it
- 00:10:22.468 --> 00:10:23.836
- and it looked like that itwas over and hell put up
- 00:10:23.836 --> 00:10:27.073
- was over and hell put upa big billboard,
- 00:10:27.073 --> 00:10:31.210
- a big billboard,"Jesus Christ defeated",

- "Jesus Christ defeated",and all of hell was laughing,
- 00:10:33.512 --> 00:10:36.348
- and all of hell was laughing,and all of heaven was weeping.
- 00:10:36.348 --> 00:10:38.417
- and all of heaven was weeping.But three days later,
- 00:10:38.417 --> 00:10:40.953
- But three days later,at the dawning of a new day,
- 00:10:40.953 --> 00:10:42.955
- at the dawning of a new day,suddenly the fog lifted
- 00:10:42.955 --> 00:10:44.724
- suddenly the fog liftedand the message was not,
- 00:10:44.724 --> 00:10:45.725

- of that tomb,"Jesus Christ defeated",
- 00:10:48.928 --> 00:10:49.762
- "Jesus Christ defeated",it was
- 00:10:49.762 --> 00:10:53.499
- it was"Jesus Christ defeated Satan!"
- 00:10:53.499 --> 00:10:55.868

- He defeated hell!He defeated the grave,
- 00:10:58.337 --> 00:11:01.040
- He defeated the grave,and He defeated your sin
- 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:02.508
- and He defeated your sinand shame!
- 00:11:02.508 --> 00:11:04.443
- and shame!Somebody give the Lord a praise!
- 00:11:04.443 --> 00:11:06.512
- Somebody give the Lord a praise!I'm glad that Calvary was
- 00:11:06.512 --> 00:11:11.951
- I'm glad that Calvary wasthe devil's Waterloo.
- 00:11:11.951 --> 00:11:13.519
- the devil's Waterloo.I heard a story the other day,
- 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.621
- I heard a story the other day,or read it actually,
- 00:11:15.621 --> 00:11:18.190
- or read it actually,about a man who was
- 00:11:18.190 --> 00:11:20.226
- about a man who wasin a hurry walking home,
- 00:11:20.226 --> 00:11:21.761
- in a hurry walking home,and he decided that he needed
- 00:11:21.761 --> 00:11:22.895
- and he decided that he neededto take a short cut.
- 00:11:22.895 --> 00:11:23.996
- to take a short cut.And it was very dark this night,
- 00:11:23.996 --> 00:11:26.165
- And it was very dark this night,and he had to go through
- 00:11:26.165 --> 00:11:27.833
- and he had to go througha cemetery,
- 00:11:27.833 --> 00:11:28.834
- a cemetery,and he had to walk through
- 00:11:28.834 --> 00:11:30.669
- and he had to walk throughit with no lights.
- 00:11:30.669 --> 00:11:31.737
- it with no lights.And he was walking,
- 00:11:31.737 --> 00:11:32.605
- And he was walking,and I guess he was a little
- 00:11:32.605 --> 00:11:33.672
- and I guess he was a littlefreaked out,
- 00:11:33.672 --> 00:11:35.174
- freaked out,and he was looking around,
- 00:11:35.174 --> 00:11:36.575
- and he was looking around,hearing strange sounds,
- 00:11:36.575 --> 00:11:38.110
- hearing strange sounds,and he walked and fell
- 00:11:38.110 --> 00:11:40.112
- and he walked and fellright into a grave
- 00:11:40.112 --> 00:11:42.314
- right into a gravethat had been freshly dug.
- 00:11:42.314 --> 00:11:43.149
- that had been freshly dug.They were probably gonna put
- 00:11:43.149 --> 00:11:43.983
- They were probably gonna puta coffin in there
- 00:11:43.983 --> 00:11:45.317
- a coffin in therethe next morning.
- 00:11:45.317 --> 00:11:46.218
- the next morning.And when he hit the bottom
- 00:11:46.218 --> 00:11:48.053
- And when he hit the bottomof that grave,
- 00:11:48.053 --> 00:11:49.722
- of that grave,he jumped and he clawed,
- 00:11:49.722 --> 00:11:51.390
- he jumped and he clawed,and he did everything he could
- 00:11:51.390 --> 00:11:52.558
- and he did everything he couldto try to get out,
- 00:11:52.558 --> 00:11:53.692
- to try to get out,but it was too deep
- 00:11:53.692 --> 00:11:54.960
- but it was too deepand he could not get out.
- 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:55.995
- and he could not get out.And after trying for about
- 00:11:55.995 --> 00:11:57.563
- And after trying for about30 minutes and sweating,

- He sat in the shadowof that corner of that grave
- 00:12:06.605 --> 00:12:07.773
- of that corner of that graveand just said to himself,
- 00:12:07.773 --> 00:12:09.141
- and just said to himself,"I'll wait for the sun
- 00:12:09.141 --> 00:12:10.643
- "I'll wait for the sunto come up and somebody'll
- 00:12:10.643 --> 00:12:12.845

- While he was sittingin that shadow,
- 00:12:16.582 --> 00:12:19.084
- in that shadow,along comes another man,
- 00:12:19.084 --> 00:12:22.555
- along comes another man,and he falls into the same grave
- 00:12:22.555 --> 00:12:24.256
- and he falls into the same graveon the other end.
- 00:12:24.256 --> 00:12:26.492
- on the other end.And he naturally and quickly
- 00:12:26.492 --> 00:12:27.827
- And he naturally and quicklystarts grabbing,
- 00:12:27.827 --> 00:12:29.695
- starts grabbing,and clawing, and scratching,
- 00:12:29.695 --> 00:12:31.964
- and clawing, and scratching,trying to lift himself
- 00:12:31.964 --> 00:12:34.033
- trying to lift himselfout of that grave,
- 00:12:34.033 --> 00:12:35.534
- out of that grave,and he can't get out.
- 00:12:35.534 --> 00:12:37.102
- and he can't get out.He tries, and tries, and tries,
- 00:12:37.102 --> 00:12:38.003
- He tries, and tries, and tries,and finally after
- 00:12:38.003 --> 00:12:39.371
- and finally afterabout ten minutes,
- 00:12:39.371 --> 00:12:41.140
- about ten minutes,he just sits down in the side
- 00:12:41.140 --> 00:12:42.741
- he just sits down in the sideof the grave and he thinks
- 00:12:42.741 --> 00:12:43.709

- to himself,"Well, I can't get out".
- 00:12:44.910 --> 00:12:45.811
- "Well, I can't get out".And suddenly,
- 00:12:45.811 --> 00:12:47.346
- And suddenly,while he's sitting there,
- 00:12:47.346 --> 00:12:48.981
- while he's sitting there,he hears from the other end
- 00:12:48.981 --> 00:12:51.684
- he hears from the other endof that dark grave, a voice.
- 00:12:51.684 --> 00:12:52.952
- of that dark grave, a voice.And the voice said,
- 00:12:52.952 --> 00:12:56.789
- And the voice said,"You can't get out of here."
- 00:12:56.789 --> 00:13:02.995
- "You can't get out of here."But, he did!
- 00:13:02.995 --> 00:13:04.196

- 00:13:13.472 --> 00:13:16.609
- "You can't get out of here".But I promise you, He did!
- 00:13:16.609 --> 00:13:18.444
- But I promise you, He did!He did it for me!
- 00:13:18.444 --> 00:13:20.446

- 00:13:20.446 --> 00:13:22.281
- He did it for you!He paid the price!
- 00:13:22.281 --> 00:13:24.617
- He paid the price!He conquered death, hell,
- 00:13:24.617 --> 00:13:25.784
- He conquered death, hell,and the grave.
- 00:13:25.784 --> 00:13:27.353
