Dylan: "Well. What a rude bunch tonight, huh? You all know how to be real rude. You know about the spirit of the anti-Christ? Does anybody here know about that? Well, it's clear the anti-Christ is loose right now, let me give you an example. You know, I got a place out, ah, somebody stopped by my house and gave me this, uh, tape cassette. Some of these kind of people, you know, there's many false deceivers running around these days. There's only one gospel. The Bible says anybody who preaches anything other than that one gospel, let him be accursed. ["Rock-n-roll!"] Anyway, you know, this fellow stopped by my house one time and wanted to, so called, "turn me on" to a . . . well I'm not gonna mention his name, he's a certain guru. I don't want to mention his name right now, but ah, he, he has a place out there, near LA ["Malibu!"] And ah, he stopped by and he gave me this taped cassette to show me ... ["Rock-n-roll!"] ... You wanna rock-n-roll you can go down and rock-n-roll. You can go see Kiss and you rock-n-roll all your way down to the pit. Anyway, let me give you an example here. I'm gonna give you a real good example, I took a look, I dropped this tape cassette off with a friend of mine. [lots of heckling and others trying to shout the hecklers down] Turn the lights on in here. I want to see these people. Turn some lights on. Give them some light. Let them in the light. [applause] So anyway, this certain guru, you wanna hear about this guru? So anyhow, ["Rock-n-roll!" "Shut up!"] All right, so this guru, he made a film of himself. He had one of these big conventions. He does have a convention I think every so often like once a month, he'll go to a big city. ["Praise the lord with puke!" "Shut that guy up!" Applause] Now, so, I took a look at this tape, and sure enough he was having himself a big convention. He had, must have had five thousand to ten thousand people there. Eight thousand people. And what he was doing on the stage was, he was sitting on there wit

How many people here are aware that we’re living in the end of times right now? How many people are aware of that? Anybody wanna know that? Anybody interested in knowing that we're living in the end times? How many people do know that? Just, yell out or do something. How many people don't know that. Well, we are, we're living in the end times. ["The times they are-a changin!"] That's right. I told you that. I told you "The Times They Are A-Changin" twenty years ago. And I don't believe I've ever lied to you. I don't think I said anything that's been a lie. I never told you to vote for nobody. Never told you to follow nobody. Well, I'll tell you a story about that now. When Jesus saw this woman, they all wanted to stone her. Because, you know, she was an adulteress. So they come by and they wanted to stone her. And they said to Jesus, they said, "Master" they said, they wanted to trick him, you know, so they said, "What say you? What do you say there, should we stone this woman? Because she has been an adulterer?" And he says, "Well, let him who is without sin cast the first stone." They all just dropped their stones and they walked away. And then he said to the woman, he said "Woman," he said, "You're free now. You go and sin no more." And the woman left. Well, let me tell you, that the devil owns this world. He's called the God of this world. Now we're living in America. I like America just as much as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged. You know, God comes against a country in three ways. First way he comes against them, he come against them in their economy. Did you know that? He messes with their economy the first time. You can check it all the way back to Babylon, and Persia and Egypt. Many of you here are college students aren't you? Many of you are college students. You ask your teachers about this now. You see, I …uh .. I know they're gonna verify what I say. Every time God comes against a nation, first of all he

["Lights! Lights down!"] Why -- too bright for you? (before Man Gave Names To All The Animals)

Alright, we have time for one more. So long as, ... I wonder what it will be, I think it will be this one. All right. Remember now. Don't be deceived by what's gets inside. You know, even Jesus was deceived by one of his own men. Just like Jesse James, you know, he was deceived by someone he let, ... who he invited into his house. Anyway, we're gonna play this one and be on down the road now. Remember what I said, if you ever hear it some other time, that there is a way. There's a truth and a life and a way. You may not get it now. It may not be the next week or so. It may not be the next year or so. But remember the next time it happens. (before In The Garden)
