WEBVTT 00:33.870 --> 00:39.050 The subject we are going to be looking into in this lecture is, who is the 00:39.050 --> 00:39.790 Antichrist? 00:41.570 --> 00:46.230 It's a very heavy subject, but it's a very important subject. 00:47.350 --> 00:52.770 And I start this lecture off by saying something or reading something, 00:52.870 --> 00:56.270 and I'd like you to look at this graphic and study with me what it says. 00:57.150 --> 00:58.170 Heavy on the heart. 00:59.810 --> 01:02.250 Truth is independent of opinion. 01:03.110 --> 01:06.530 By its very definition, truth is intolerant of error. 01:07.490 --> 01:11.050 Every aspect petitioning the conscience for acknowledgement. 01:11.910 --> 01:16.250 The individual, however, holds the key to admission or rejection. 01:18.050 --> 01:24.590 This slide, this image that you've just seen, sums up many of the lectures that 01:24.590 --> 01:26.090 are coming up, including this one. 01:26.910 --> 01:31.930 The subject is heavy on the heart, but truth is intolerant of error. 01:32.130 --> 01:35.250 And it's also intolerant of your or my opinion. 01:36.030 --> 01:39.050 It doesn't matter what you think, and it doesn't matter what I think. 01:39.530 --> 01:42.490 What the Bible says is truth. 01:44.490 --> 01:51.310 However, the individual, and that's you and me, hold the key to either accept or 01:51.310 --> 01:52.590 to reject this information. 01:53.530 --> 01:56.270 We're going to be looking into who's the Antichrist. 01:56.790 --> 01:59.390 And I'd like to start off with a couple of opening comments. 02:00.090 --> 02:05.610 You see, the Bible describes and discusses both Christ and Antichrist. 02:06.790 --> 02:11.630 And because these two forces are the forces that will battle it out to the end, 02:12.250 --> 02:17.190 we have to look at how the Antichrist is going to play a role in the end time. 02:17.730 --> 02:22.230 If we don't understand the interaction or the role of the Antichrist, we cannot 02:22.230 --> 02:28.070 understand how deception can filter into the system of worship in order to twist 02:28.070 --> 02:30.970 people into things that they think they're doing right, but they're actually doing 02:30.970 --> 02:31.250 wrong. 02:31.690 --> 02:37.010 It is critical that we identify him, and not only that we point out who he is, 02:37.290 --> 02:38.410 but that we watch him. 02:38.690 --> 02:43.650 We keep an eye on what he's doing so that we can see how prophecy is being fulfilled 02:43.650 --> 02:44.210 in the Bible. 02:45.090 --> 02:50.070 Some people, when they think about the Antichrist, they say, oh no, it's Osama 02:50.070 --> 02:50.650 Bin Laden. 02:51.710 --> 02:53.230 Others say it's George Bush. 02:53.790 --> 02:56.410 Others say it's Tony Blair. 02:57.650 --> 03:01.630 But Tony Blair has just stepped down, so it couldn't really be him. 03:01.890 --> 03:08.570 See, the problem with this is only the Bible mentions the Antichrist in such 03:08.570 --> 03:15.270 detail, and therefore only the Bible in such detail can be used to identify him. 03:18.180 --> 03:25.180 We have to be looking at 21 biblical characteristics on how to identify the 03:25.180 --> 03:25.800 Antichrist. 03:26.180 --> 03:28.600 These have been written in a prophetic manner. 03:29.400 --> 03:35.020 So just as we did in the previous lectures, we have to read 2 Peter 1 verse 03:35.020 --> 03:35.380 20. 03:35.520 --> 03:42.360 It says, knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private 03:42.360 --> 03:43.240 interpretation. 03:43.880 --> 03:48.500 For this reason, only the Bible can tell us who the Bible is speaking about. 03:49.200 --> 03:51.420 Let's look at the Antichrist prophecy. 03:54.390 --> 04:00.450 Webster's Dictionary tells us that the word anti actually means ante, 04:00.850 --> 04:04.330 which is A-N-T-E, which means in the place of. 04:05.490 --> 04:12.670 So clinically speaking, Antichrist would mean somebody that comes in the place of 04:12.670 --> 04:13.190 Christ. 04:13.250 --> 04:17.810 We generally think that Antichrist is the person that's going to be opposed to 04:17.810 --> 04:18.410 Christ. 04:18.910 --> 04:24.970 But again, that is today's thinking superimposed over a biblical prophecy. 04:27.010 --> 04:31.370 A hundred years ago, nobody would have understood that the Antichrist could be 04:31.370 --> 04:32.970 George Bush because he didn't exist. 04:34.030 --> 04:38.710 We also wouldn't have thought 30 years ago about the risk of Osama Bin Laden or the 04:38.710 --> 04:42.050 fear of him being the Antichrist because his threat didn't exist. 04:42.870 --> 04:47.590 But yet, something written almost 2,000 years ago has to have the same meaning as 04:47.590 --> 04:50.570 what it does today when we speak about the Antichrist. 04:51.510 --> 04:58.270 Antichrist means in the place of Christ in 75% of language cases. 04:59.450 --> 05:03.530 Let's pop back to Isaiah 14 verses 12 to 14. 05:03.690 --> 05:04.750 Read with me what it says. 05:05.710 --> 05:09.570 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning? 05:09.830 --> 05:14.810 For thou hast said in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my 05:14.810 --> 05:18.190 throne above the stars of God, I will sit upon the mount of the 05:18.190 --> 05:22.570 congregation in the sides of the north, I will ascend above the heights of the 05:22.570 --> 05:25.210 clouds, I will be like the Most High. 05:26.710 --> 05:32.590 This is a description of what took place as to why Lucifer was thrown out of 05:32.590 --> 05:32.790 heaven. 05:33.910 --> 05:36.330 Satan's name when he was in heaven wasn't Satan. 05:36.750 --> 05:39.850 He became Satan in heaven like Gabriel. 05:40.450 --> 05:41.970 His name was Lucifer. 05:42.570 --> 05:45.690 Lucifer meaning the light bearer. 05:46.230 --> 05:48.750 Lucifer had a war in heaven. 05:49.150 --> 05:50.670 It was Lucifer vs. 05:50.930 --> 05:54.370 Michael who we identify in many cases as God. 05:55.170 --> 05:56.270 Lucifer vs. 05:56.430 --> 05:56.610 God. 05:56.750 --> 06:00.850 Lucifer fell out of heaven because he said, I will ascend into heaven, 06:01.330 --> 06:06.650 I will exalt myself above the throne, I will exalt my throne above the stars of 06:06.650 --> 06:10.370 God, I will sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north, 06:10.630 --> 06:15.250 and then he says, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the 06:15.250 --> 06:15.870 Most High. 06:16.490 --> 06:17.770 You see, he wanted to be God. 06:18.770 --> 06:20.410 He wanted to be God. 06:20.590 --> 06:22.670 But we know that that job is already taken. 06:24.050 --> 06:31.210 So if Satan or Lucifer at the time cannot be God, then he has got to do what he can 06:31.210 --> 06:33.650 to try and be God where he is now. 06:34.350 --> 06:40.750 So Satan in his war against God wants to be God, and he will do whatever he can to 06:40.750 --> 06:42.370 be in the place of God. 06:43.490 --> 06:48.650 Matthew 24 verses 4 and 5 read as follows, Jesus answered and said unto them, 06:48.810 --> 06:52.690 Take heed that no man deceive you, for many shall come in my name, 06:52.810 --> 06:55.430 saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many. 06:55.710 --> 06:59.850 See, this is where Christ is pointing out that there will be a force of 06:59.850 --> 07:05.190 impersonating Christ or coming in the position of Christ that will be used to 07:05.190 --> 07:06.630 deceive people. 07:06.970 --> 07:09.930 Now Satan can't get all of us willingly to bow down to him. 07:10.110 --> 07:13.710 If there were a cloven-footed gargoyle that would walk into your sitting room 07:13.710 --> 07:19.230 today, with a tail and a pitchfork and blowing smoke, you wouldn't bow down to 07:19.230 --> 07:19.910 him and worship him. 07:20.550 --> 07:22.170 He can't come to you like that. 07:22.490 --> 07:24.730 He has to come in a form of disguise. 07:24.970 --> 07:29.970 A form that will make you feel comfortable with bowing down to something that looks 07:29.970 --> 07:35.210 right, that feels right, that sounds like it, smells right, but yet, it's going to 07:35.210 --> 07:35.610 be wrong. 07:37.670 --> 07:42.030 We look at the dictionary of prophetic terms in prophecy, a day equals a year. 07:43.410 --> 07:45.710 The Bible is full of these type of examples. 07:45.890 --> 07:52.550 We look at white robes, which according to many examples in the Bible is equal to 07:52.550 --> 07:54.090 righteousness or victory. 07:54.530 --> 07:57.570 The trumpet was a loud warning of God's approach. 07:58.030 --> 08:02.970 Prostitution is a representation of idolatry, spiritual adultery. 08:03.730 --> 08:07.970 Seas and waters, as we saw, were nations and tongues and peoples. 08:08.690 --> 08:13.910 A beast was a kingdom, a government power, a political power, a king, etc. 08:14.070 --> 08:14.330 etc. 08:15.170 --> 08:18.030 Let's pop back to Daniel 7 verse 1 and read there. 08:18.070 --> 08:22.070 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and 08:22.070 --> 08:23.810 visions of his head upon his bed. 08:24.210 --> 08:27.170 And then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters. 08:27.350 --> 08:32.830 He says, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens 08:32.830 --> 08:38.690 strove upon the great sea, and four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one 08:38.690 --> 08:39.210 from another. 08:40.210 --> 08:44.770 Now, I can't tell you what the word winds means. 08:44.990 --> 08:49.390 I can't tell you what the word seas mean, and I can't tell you what the word beasts 08:49.390 --> 08:49.610 mean. 08:49.710 --> 08:52.450 Therefore, we have to go to the Bible and say, please, could you help us? 08:53.050 --> 08:58.490 Let's look at Jeremiah 49 verses 36 to 37 to find out what winds are. 08:59.450 --> 09:03.710 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds of the four quarters of heaven and will 09:03.710 --> 09:05.770 scatter them towards all of those winds. 09:06.090 --> 09:09.590 And there shall be no nation whither the outcast of Elam shall not come. 09:10.230 --> 09:14.950 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that 09:14.950 --> 09:15.670 seek their life. 09:15.890 --> 09:19.970 I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord, and I will 09:19.970 --> 09:22.490 send a sword after them till I have consumed them. 09:23.450 --> 09:28.010 This passage is an example of what's known as Hebrew parallelism. 09:28.470 --> 09:33.630 It's written in this way, and then it's repeated in that way, so that the reader 09:33.630 --> 09:36.430 can make sure that they understand what is being explained. 09:37.310 --> 09:42.010 Here, the first way around it says, upon Elam will I bring the four winds. 09:42.570 --> 09:46.290 It's then repeated in a different way, it says, for I will cause Elam to be 09:46.290 --> 09:47.950 dismayed before their enemies. 09:48.750 --> 09:55.430 So, winds depicts destruction, or war, or some sort of conflict. 09:57.050 --> 09:58.330 What about beasts? 09:58.810 --> 10:00.170 How do we know what a beast is? 10:00.910 --> 10:03.490 Daniel 7, 17 and 23 explains. 10:03.970 --> 10:08.850 Those great beasts which are four, are four kings which shall arise out of 10:08.850 --> 10:09.190 the earth. 10:09.530 --> 10:13.930 Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, 10:13.990 --> 10:15.750 which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms. 10:16.210 --> 10:20.870 So, we can identify that a kingdom is a beast, and a beast is a kingdom, 10:21.070 --> 10:23.090 only when speaking prophetic language. 10:24.230 --> 10:25.050 What about seas? 10:25.710 --> 10:31.330 Well, Revelation 17, 15 says, And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, 10:31.390 --> 10:35.830 where the horse sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 10:36.890 --> 10:38.790 There we have a perfect example of seas. 10:39.030 --> 10:43.810 The waters, the lots of waters that refers to peoples and tongues. 10:43.830 --> 10:49.010 So, we are starting to see, seas equals people, wind equals war, beasts equals 10:49.010 --> 10:49.390 kingdoms. 10:49.730 --> 10:52.450 That is the Bible telling us what the Bible means. 10:52.930 --> 10:56.770 There is no influence, no human influence, external influence of any sort. 10:57.690 --> 11:03.930 So, Daniel 7, 2-3 says, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of 11:03.930 --> 11:07.450 heaven strove upon the great sea, and the four great beasts came up from the 11:07.450 --> 11:08.750 sea, diverse from one another. 11:09.630 --> 11:12.050 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. 11:12.150 --> 11:13.370 Remember, we have discussed this. 11:13.990 --> 11:17.650 I beheld, till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the 11:17.650 --> 11:22.690 earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 11:23.870 --> 11:29.090 This represented, can you remember, the golden head, the lion with eagle's 11:29.090 --> 11:30.530 wings, was Babylon. 11:31.670 --> 11:36.230 Daniel 7, 5 continues, it says, And behold, another beast, the second one 11:36.230 --> 11:40.090 like a bear, it was raised up on the one side, it had three ribs in its mouth 11:40.090 --> 11:43.650 between its teeth, and it was told, Arise, devour much flesh. 11:43.710 --> 11:44.910 Can you remember who this was? 11:45.910 --> 11:47.370 Medo-Persia, that's correct. 11:48.030 --> 11:52.370 Daniel 7, 6, And this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, 11:52.590 --> 11:55.090 which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl. 11:55.130 --> 11:58.470 The beast had also four heads, and dominion was given to it. 11:58.850 --> 11:59.810 Remember who this was? 12:00.630 --> 12:04.370 Alexander the Great, Greece, and then Daniel 7, 7. 12:04.670 --> 12:05.670 Concentrate with me now. 12:06.590 --> 12:12.190 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and 12:12.190 --> 12:15.510 terrible, and strong exceedingly, and it had great iron teeth. 12:15.570 --> 12:17.450 Remember, iron was a representation of Rome. 12:17.970 --> 12:21.530 It devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of 12:21.530 --> 12:26.930 it, and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 12:27.830 --> 12:32.070 The next verse says, I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among 12:32.070 --> 12:34.550 them another horn, a little one. 12:34.850 --> 12:37.790 Do you remember a horn was a king? 12:38.690 --> 12:42.910 So here were ten kings, and among them came up another king. 12:43.650 --> 12:48.370 Before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots, and behold, 12:48.610 --> 12:53.390 in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. 12:54.790 --> 12:58.250 This little horn is the Antichrist power. 12:58.830 --> 13:04.470 The Bible gives us information about this horn, this little king, or this little 13:04.470 --> 13:08.370 kingdom, that it doesn't describe in such depth in any other form. 13:09.510 --> 13:16.050 Daniel 7 verses 19 and 23 read as follows, Then I would know the truth of the fourth 13:16.050 --> 13:20.530 beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth 13:20.530 --> 13:24.550 were of iron, and his nails of brass, which devoured, broke in pieces, 13:24.650 --> 13:26.410 and stamped the residue with his feet. 13:27.350 --> 13:30.350 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, 13:30.490 --> 13:36.130 which shall be diverse, different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole 13:36.130 --> 13:39.190 earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 13:39.910 --> 13:45.710 Daniel 7 verse 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall 13:45.710 --> 13:50.230 arise, and another shall arise after them, and he shall be diverse from the first, 13:50.310 --> 13:52.690 and he shall subdue three kings. 13:53.590 --> 14:00.390 Daniel 7 verse 22 Until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the 14:00.390 --> 14:04.230 saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 14:04.930 --> 14:09.730 Now the Bible goes into various descriptions about this little power, 14:10.070 --> 14:14.990 this Antichrist beast, this force that's going to stomp and break in pieces and 14:14.990 --> 14:16.330 will control the whole earth. 14:17.150 --> 14:23.190 I would like to go into 21 Biblical examples of these, identifying 14:23.190 --> 14:25.390 characteristics that the Bible gives us. 14:26.030 --> 14:31.270 And we are going to say, Who is the power in the world that might fit all of these 14:31.270 --> 14:31.710 examples? 14:31.830 --> 14:32.730 Let's have a look at it. 14:32.870 --> 14:37.850 The first characteristic is that the power, this Antichrist power, was already 14:37.850 --> 14:39.070 working in Paul's day. 14:40.490 --> 14:42.870 Was Osama Bin Laden working in Paul's day? 14:43.670 --> 14:45.750 Was George Bush working in Paul's day? 14:46.890 --> 14:48.870 Did America exist in Paul's day? 14:49.810 --> 14:53.090 You see, just by this first characteristic, this first example, 14:53.570 --> 14:59.490 already 90% of those so-called Antichrist powers that we have decided are the 14:59.490 --> 15:01.670 Antichrist in our own mind are removed. 15:02.650 --> 15:08.450 2 Thessalonians 2 verses 7-10 explain, For the mystery of iniquity doth already 15:08.450 --> 15:12.750 work, and then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with 15:12.750 --> 15:16.470 the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, 15:16.870 --> 15:22.730 even him whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and 15:22.730 --> 15:23.430 lying wonders. 15:25.090 --> 15:27.550 Here Paul is writing about the same power. 15:27.830 --> 15:31.170 He is writing about the power that is already working at his time. 15:31.610 --> 15:36.230 That time will run through, according to what we have just read, until the Ancient 15:36.230 --> 15:37.790 of Days has come. 15:38.250 --> 15:41.670 So from Paul's time, right through until the Lord comes again. 15:41.790 --> 15:42.910 We will look into that just now. 15:43.950 --> 15:45.030 Characteristic number 2. 15:45.390 --> 15:48.090 He arises out of the fourth beast. 15:48.330 --> 15:48.970 Read with me. 15:49.270 --> 15:50.770 Daniel 7 verses 7-8. 15:51.210 --> 15:55.610 After this I saw a fourth beast, terrible and powerful and strong 15:55.610 --> 15:57.250 exceedingly, and it had ten horns. 15:58.050 --> 16:02.550 And I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them a little one, 16:02.890 --> 16:05.770 before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. 16:06.410 --> 16:08.690 So where does this horn come from? 16:09.050 --> 16:12.010 It comes out of the fourth beast. 16:12.150 --> 16:15.190 There are four beasts and it has to come out of the fourth beast. 16:16.950 --> 16:17.990 Characteristic number 3. 16:18.530 --> 16:21.550 It arises in between the ten horns. 16:22.050 --> 16:24.750 What you will notice is that it is very specific. 16:24.910 --> 16:27.750 The Bible is so specific about identifying who this is. 16:27.990 --> 16:28.750 Read this with me. 16:29.190 --> 16:30.630 Daniel 7 verses 7. 16:30.890 --> 16:34.370 And I saw this, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful and strong 16:34.370 --> 16:36.190 exceedingly, and it had ten horns. 16:36.850 --> 16:42.250 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, 16:42.350 --> 16:43.090 a little one. 16:43.810 --> 16:45.130 So where does it come up? 16:45.970 --> 16:48.990 Among or in between the other ten. 16:49.870 --> 16:54.790 So all we have to do is look at the various kingdoms at the time and then we 16:54.790 --> 16:59.010 have to see, well, where does this Antichrist power have to come up? 16:59.010 --> 17:00.770 We will look at that in the second half. 17:02.490 --> 17:03.650 Characteristic number 4. 17:04.390 --> 17:09.210 It arises after all other ten kings are already there. 17:09.990 --> 17:11.950 Daniel 7 verses 24 explains this. 17:12.110 --> 17:17.770 It says, And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise, 17:17.970 --> 17:19.570 and another shall arise, how? 17:20.350 --> 17:21.310 After them. 17:21.530 --> 17:24.990 And he shall be diverse from the four men, and he shall put down three kings. 17:25.770 --> 17:31.110 Here Daniel is making sure that with this explanation he gets every single thing 17:31.110 --> 17:31.830 explained. 17:32.130 --> 17:33.310 Characteristic number 5. 17:33.970 --> 17:36.170 He works under the auspices of religion. 17:36.930 --> 17:41.110 Most people don't know this, they just think of a fearful power opposed to 17:41.110 --> 17:42.930 Christ, the Antichrist. 17:43.010 --> 17:43.970 Well, that's not actually true. 17:44.570 --> 17:48.690 This is somebody that will have to work under the auspices of religion and comes 17:48.690 --> 17:50.970 in the place of Jesus Christ. 17:51.750 --> 17:56.850 Daniel 7 verses 2 explains that it says, And conquering the ten horns, that were on 17:56.850 --> 18:02.390 his head, the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that 18:02.390 --> 18:08.270 horn had eyes and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than his 18:08.270 --> 18:08.630 fellows. 18:09.110 --> 18:15.170 In the original translation, speaking great things means that he was speaking 18:15.170 --> 18:16.870 great spiritual things. 18:17.030 --> 18:19.770 He was a spiritual leader of sorts. 18:20.190 --> 18:23.690 Matthew 24 verse 15 in the Old Testament supports this. 18:23.990 --> 18:29.170 And he says, When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was 18:29.170 --> 18:33.490 spoken of through Daniel, so Matthew here is pointing back to Daniel. 18:33.970 --> 18:35.090 So let's read that again. 18:35.450 --> 18:39.470 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, that's this Antichrist, 18:39.690 --> 18:44.650 which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, 18:45.030 --> 18:46.430 let him that readeth understand. 18:47.470 --> 18:52.390 Here Matthew is saying this Antichrist power, the abomination of desolation, 18:52.390 --> 18:54.750 is going to come up inside the temple of God. 18:54.870 --> 18:57.030 He's going to come up working as a religious power. 18:58.170 --> 19:02.550 Number six might come as a surprise, because I specifically take time to 19:02.550 --> 19:05.750 identify that this is a human being. 19:06.190 --> 19:09.510 It has human-like characteristics or qualities. 19:10.110 --> 19:11.130 Why is that important? 19:12.110 --> 19:15.950 Well, today there's an idea that the Antichrist might be a computer in 19:15.950 --> 19:19.650 Brussels, some superhuman artificial intelligence computer. 19:20.570 --> 19:21.810 That's not what the Bible says. 19:21.870 --> 19:23.750 The Bible says it has to be a human. 19:23.970 --> 19:30.270 Read with me Daniel 7, 8, 20 and Revelation 13, 5 and verse 18. 19:30.410 --> 19:35.010 In this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. 19:35.310 --> 19:36.390 Daniel 7, 20. 19:36.850 --> 19:39.570 Even that horn that had eyes and a mouth. 19:40.450 --> 19:42.090 Revelation 13, 5. 19:42.230 --> 19:44.650 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things. 19:45.150 --> 19:49.530 He that hath understanding in verse 18, let him count the number of the beast, 19:49.730 --> 19:52.450 for it is the number of a man. 19:53.430 --> 19:59.290 This is a human being, a type of system that is put in place by humanity. 19:59.710 --> 20:03.410 Interestingly enough though, characteristic number seven says that 20:03.410 --> 20:04.650 he'll be diverse. 20:04.950 --> 20:06.870 He'll be different from all the others. 20:07.570 --> 20:12.970 Daniel 7, 24 says, As for the ten horns out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise, 20:13.310 --> 20:15.370 and another shall arise after them. 20:15.490 --> 20:16.330 We've been through this. 20:16.610 --> 20:16.930 Now listen. 20:17.490 --> 20:22.010 And he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings. 20:22.670 --> 20:27.490 So this power is somehow going to be different than all the other kingdoms that 20:27.490 --> 20:28.310 have gone before him. 20:28.850 --> 20:31.590 Number eight, he has to uproot three kingdoms. 20:32.150 --> 20:33.710 We've just read it and I'll read it again. 20:34.190 --> 20:37.890 I considered the horns and behold there came up among them another horn, 20:37.970 --> 20:42.970 a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. 20:43.890 --> 20:48.570 And Daniel 7, verse 20 says, Before which three fell, and Daniel 7, 24 says, 20:48.770 --> 20:50.870 And he shall put down three kings. 20:51.210 --> 20:51.930 Very important. 20:52.450 --> 20:56.710 The rise of this power cannot be misconstrued to be any other power, 20:57.030 --> 21:01.110 because all of these things have to take place and he has to fulfill every single 21:01.110 --> 21:05.030 one of them, even taking out three of the kings that stood before him. 21:06.230 --> 21:10.270 Number nine is this little horn, this little power is going to be greater 21:10.270 --> 21:11.250 than the others. 21:11.350 --> 21:14.150 He's going to come up small, but he's going to grow bigger than any others. 21:14.610 --> 21:20.130 Daniel 7, 20 says, And considering the ten horns that were on its head, and the other 21:20.130 --> 21:25.190 horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a 21:25.190 --> 21:29.110 mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout than its 21:29.110 --> 21:29.410 fellows. 21:30.210 --> 21:34.750 Somehow this horn will be stronger than the previous kingdoms that stood in its 21:34.750 --> 21:35.090 place. 21:36.530 --> 21:38.890 Number ten, let's look at number ten. 21:39.710 --> 21:44.270 This kingdom or this power will make war against the saints. 21:44.890 --> 21:50.150 This power is going to despise the Christian people that believe in the Bible 21:50.150 --> 21:51.090 and the Bible alone. 21:51.750 --> 21:57.530 Daniel 7, 21 says the same thing, it says, I beheld and the same horn made 21:57.530 --> 22:00.470 war with the saints and prevailed against them. 22:02.130 --> 22:07.190 Number eleven, you see how close we are getting now to identify who this is? 22:07.670 --> 22:09.530 Can it be George Bush anymore? 22:09.870 --> 22:10.170 No. 22:10.950 --> 22:12.030 Well, let's look at number eleven. 22:12.110 --> 22:16.010 Remember, we've still got to go to twenty-one biblical... and no more, 22:16.250 --> 22:17.730 I'm just choosing twenty-one of them. 22:19.010 --> 22:23.070 Number eleven, this power will speak against God. 22:23.870 --> 22:25.490 Read with me in Daniel 7, 25. 22:26.010 --> 22:30.630 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the 22:30.630 --> 22:31.190 Most High. 22:31.950 --> 22:34.910 Characteristic number twelve is he speaks blasphemies. 22:35.270 --> 22:36.770 He blasphemes God. 22:37.050 --> 22:41.890 In Revelation 13, 5 it says, And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things 22:41.890 --> 22:42.990 and blasphemies. 22:43.350 --> 22:48.030 And verse six continues, And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God to 22:48.030 --> 22:49.290 blaspheme his name. 22:50.090 --> 22:50.570 Interesting. 22:51.410 --> 22:52.490 He blasphemes God. 22:52.750 --> 22:57.750 And then the next characteristic thirteen is that he blasphemes God's tabernacle. 22:58.210 --> 23:02.010 Revelation 13, verse six says, And he opened his mouth for blasphemies 23:02.010 --> 23:05.330 against God and to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle. 23:06.270 --> 23:10.250 Not only that, number fourteen, he blasphemes God's angels. 23:11.150 --> 23:14.850 It says in the same verse, And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God and 23:14.850 --> 23:20.110 to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in heaven. 23:21.690 --> 23:26.890 This power will even think to change laws and will think to change times. 23:27.130 --> 23:29.550 Let's split those up and put number fifteen in. 23:29.790 --> 23:31.250 He will think to change times. 23:31.510 --> 23:33.350 Let's read this in Daniel 7, 25. 23:34.050 --> 23:38.410 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and he shall wear out the saints of 23:38.410 --> 23:41.810 the Most High, and he shall think to change times. 23:42.590 --> 23:45.210 Number sixteen, he will think to change laws. 23:45.310 --> 23:47.750 The same verse we've just read, Daniel 7, 25. 23:48.090 --> 23:51.710 And he will think to change the times and the law. 23:52.330 --> 23:58.790 Number seventeen, this power will rule for a period of 1,260 years. 23:59.630 --> 24:03.770 Remember, I just want to warn you again, we've kept on saying this, 2 Peter 1, 24:03.810 --> 24:08.350 20 says, No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 24:08.870 --> 24:14.330 Well, this is the reason for 1,260 years we need to make sure that this is right. 24:14.870 --> 24:17.630 Every day is a year when speaking prophetically. 24:18.050 --> 24:25.330 Well, a prophetic scale of 1,260 years, turning it backward would mean 1,260 days. 24:26.390 --> 24:31.050 Well, Revelation 11, verse 3 and 12, verse 6 speak about this power reigning 24:31.050 --> 24:32.630 for 1,260 days. 24:34.030 --> 24:38.770 Revelation 11, verse 2 and 13, verse 5 speak about this power reigning 24:38.770 --> 24:40.970 for 42 months. 24:41.810 --> 24:46.630 Daniel 7, verse 25 and 12, verse 7, it speaks about this power reigning for 24:46.630 --> 24:48.410 three and a half years. 24:48.950 --> 24:54.470 Each one of these, 1,260 days, 42 months, or three and a half years are 24:54.470 --> 24:55.750 referring to the same period. 24:56.610 --> 24:58.230 Let's look at some of these examples. 24:58.370 --> 25:02.470 Revelation 11, 3, 1,203 score days. 25:02.830 --> 25:06.490 Revelation 12, 6, 1,203 score days. 25:06.670 --> 25:09.410 Revelation 11, 2, 40 and 2 months. 25:09.730 --> 25:11.850 13, verse 5, 40 and 2 months. 25:12.350 --> 25:17.170 7, verse 25, a time, a times and dividing of time. 25:17.390 --> 25:19.010 That's three and a half years. 25:19.310 --> 25:23.490 Daniel 12, verse 7, a time, times and half. 25:24.030 --> 25:29.630 And then Revelation 12, verse 14, a time and times and a half a time. 25:29.810 --> 25:31.950 A time being a period of a year. 25:32.130 --> 25:37.910 Take one day for a year, it works out to 1,260 days. 25:38.950 --> 25:44.010 Now that's obviously, if you remember that the Jewish calendar at the time was 30 25:44.010 --> 25:45.350 days for a month. 25:45.630 --> 25:52.750 So 42 months would be 42 times 30, which comes to 1,260 years, or days, 25:53.010 --> 25:53.930 one day for a year. 25:54.510 --> 25:56.430 Do you think that this is an important theme? 25:58.270 --> 26:03.450 The Bible reiterates this point over and over and over and over. 26:03.530 --> 26:05.510 How long do you think George Bush has been in power? 26:07.090 --> 26:10.650 How long has Osama Bin Laden been threatening the world with whatever he's 26:10.650 --> 26:10.910 doing? 26:11.410 --> 26:13.130 1,260 years? 26:14.110 --> 26:14.450 No. 26:15.370 --> 26:17.570 So we've got to look at this in the greater context. 26:18.070 --> 26:21.570 Excuse me Bible, please could you tell me who this power is? 26:22.650 --> 26:29.050 That 1,260 years is again a way of the Lord recapitulating his information and 26:29.050 --> 26:31.750 making sure that we understand it and that we don't miss anything. 26:32.510 --> 26:38.290 Number 18, characteristic number 18, this power goes into captivity. 26:38.790 --> 26:45.390 Revelation 13, 10 explains, if any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth. 26:45.890 --> 26:48.810 If any man shall kill with a sword, with a sword he must be killed. 26:49.190 --> 26:51.350 Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 26:52.210 --> 26:56.710 Speaking about that power, he says that he will have to go into captivity. 26:57.230 --> 27:02.310 Not only that, but characteristic number 19 says, with the sword he must be killed. 27:02.550 --> 27:05.410 That's the same verse, read it with me, Revelation 13, 10. 27:05.750 --> 27:08.470 If you have your Bibles, pause the DVD. 27:09.070 --> 27:11.870 Take time to make sure that what I'm saying is biblical. 27:12.510 --> 27:14.230 Don't just absorb what I'm saying. 27:14.650 --> 27:16.430 Check up on everything that I'm saying. 27:16.550 --> 27:19.010 It has to be biblical, otherwise it cannot be the truth. 27:20.010 --> 27:21.370 Revelation 13, 10. 27:22.430 --> 27:25.510 If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth. 27:25.530 --> 27:26.290 We've covered that. 27:26.510 --> 27:31.150 Now, if any man shall kill with a sword, with a sword he must be killed. 27:32.170 --> 27:34.090 Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 27:34.930 --> 27:38.650 So this is an indication of that war with the saints. 27:38.770 --> 27:42.790 He's going to make war with the saints and in the same manner where he dislodged the 27:42.790 --> 27:47.110 saints from power, from removing them from their circumstances, in the same way he 27:47.110 --> 27:47.910 will be removed. 27:48.650 --> 27:55.810 Number 20, this removal or what's so-called the killing or the end of the 27:55.810 --> 28:00.170 life of this beast, this Antichrist power, is called a wound. 28:00.610 --> 28:02.870 And this wound is healed. 28:03.930 --> 28:08.490 It tells us in Revelation 13, verse 12 that, and he maketh the earth and them 28:08.490 --> 28:13.730 dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 28:14.390 --> 28:20.030 This is a text word we'll be discussing and covering in a lecture, an image to the 28:20.030 --> 28:20.270 beast. 28:20.330 --> 28:24.770 This has got to do with another beast that arises and drives humanity to worship the 28:24.770 --> 28:25.390 first beast. 28:25.630 --> 28:28.310 The first beast being this Antichrist beast. 28:28.950 --> 28:33.630 And this Antichrist beast according to Revelation 13, verse 12 says, this 28:33.630 --> 28:37.690 Antichrist beast had a deadly wound and this wound was healed. 28:38.930 --> 28:45.410 And number 21, this Antichrist's number is 666. 28:45.410 --> 28:49.070 Some people think about this number and they say, oh, the mark of the beast, 28:49.170 --> 28:49.690 666. 28:50.270 --> 28:51.330 No, no, no, no, be careful. 28:52.430 --> 28:54.510 The mark of the beast isn't 666. 28:55.130 --> 28:57.070 The mark of the beast is something different. 28:57.190 --> 28:58.650 We'll look into that in a different lecture. 28:59.470 --> 29:02.890 This mark is a number of a man. 29:02.930 --> 29:03.770 Let's read it here. 29:04.190 --> 29:05.830 Revelation 13, verse 18. 29:06.150 --> 29:07.150 Here is wisdom. 29:07.970 --> 29:11.310 He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. 29:11.790 --> 29:17.070 For it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. 29:18.150 --> 29:22.350 You see, this has got to do with trying to figure out what is going to happen in 29:22.350 --> 29:25.970 future, trying to figure out how we are going to defend ourselves against this 29:25.970 --> 29:29.070 beast, how to make sure we don't get involved in deceptions. 29:29.350 --> 29:33.510 But at the same time, realizing that the Bible gives us all of these 29:33.510 --> 29:38.550 characteristics on how to identify who this Antichrist power is, and if we are 29:38.550 --> 29:42.750 willing to understand all of these characteristics and then look into history 29:42.750 --> 29:47.490 and find out if there is anybody that fits the mold, well, we should be able to 29:47.490 --> 29:48.910 figure out who the Antichrist is. 29:51.130 --> 29:53.990 The question then comes, who is he? 29:55.170 --> 29:56.970 Who is this Antichrist power? 29:58.730 --> 30:04.150 Well, I'd like to stop again and just read the message which I gave you in the 30:04.150 --> 30:04.430 beginning. 30:05.330 --> 30:06.370 Heavy on the heart. 30:07.170 --> 30:08.910 Truth is independent of opinion. 30:09.730 --> 30:14.230 By its very definition, truth is intolerant of error, every aspect 30:14.230 --> 30:16.310 petitioning to the conscience for acknowledgement. 30:16.970 --> 30:20.650 The individual, however, holds the key to admission or rejection. 30:22.210 --> 30:25.970 You will hold the key to either accept this information or reject it. 30:26.870 --> 30:29.170 Your conscience is going to pull at the heart strings. 30:29.730 --> 30:33.370 It's going to... maybe this information is going to shock you. 30:34.050 --> 30:39.350 I pray in sincerity that you will find a way to accept the information given. 30:40.530 --> 30:42.430 I don't do this vindictively. 30:42.690 --> 30:45.450 I do this because I've been asked according to the Word of God. 30:46.070 --> 30:48.350 These are the characteristics of the Antichrist. 30:48.770 --> 30:50.810 Work it out who it is that you can defend yourself. 30:51.990 --> 30:56.250 Today, more often than ever, we are being taught, don't worry about the Antichrist. 30:56.570 --> 30:57.710 We don't have to worry about him. 30:58.050 --> 30:59.310 Christ will look after him. 31:00.050 --> 31:00.650 Yes, he will. 31:01.210 --> 31:01.970 Oh yes, he will. 31:02.650 --> 31:04.710 He's even going to get a plague of his own. 31:05.690 --> 31:11.530 But not only that, in the meantime, the devil is going to give him powers to 31:11.530 --> 31:12.970 allow him to deceive us. 31:13.730 --> 31:15.770 So let's find out who this power is. 31:16.670 --> 31:20.810 21 biblical characteristics we've laid on the table. 31:21.770 --> 31:28.350 There's only one power in the world that fulfills all 21 of these identifying 31:28.350 --> 31:28.890 marks. 31:30.490 --> 31:34.750 That is, unfortunately, the papacy. 31:36.910 --> 31:41.630 When I say unfortunately, I say unfortunately because of the context in 31:41.630 --> 31:42.210 which we live. 31:42.610 --> 31:46.510 Today, the papacy of the Roman Catholic Church is one of the heralded, 31:46.850 --> 31:49.750 most uplifted marketing icons of our time. 31:51.710 --> 31:59.030 The papacy is an individual or the head of a system that is seen as possibly the 31:59.030 --> 32:00.310 solution to our problems. 32:02.010 --> 32:04.970 It's easy enough for me to say, well, boom, there's the answer. 32:05.830 --> 32:08.550 But let's make sure whether this is the case. 32:09.670 --> 32:15.510 We have to look now at those 21 characteristics or 21 identifying marks 32:15.510 --> 32:22.310 and we have to say, is it possible that this power can fulfill all 21 of those? 32:22.890 --> 32:23.590 Surely not. 32:24.950 --> 32:25.810 Well, let's have a look. 32:27.230 --> 32:29.430 Do you remember what the first characteristic was? 32:30.110 --> 32:33.850 It has to be a power already working in Paul's day. 32:34.430 --> 32:40.790 Remember in 2 Thessalonians, he said that the power, this abomination of desolation 32:40.790 --> 32:41.730 does already work? 32:42.690 --> 32:46.890 Well, if you think about it, Rome, the power of the Roman Catholic Church, 32:47.010 --> 32:49.490 Rome was in power at the time of Christ. 32:50.570 --> 32:54.910 You'll remember that it was a Roman official that tried to kill baby Jesus. 32:55.890 --> 33:00.010 It was the governor, a Roman governor that condemned Jesus. 33:00.770 --> 33:03.830 It was a Roman executioner that crucified Jesus. 33:04.050 --> 33:09.510 It was a Roman emblem that sealed Jesus' tomb and it was a Roman guard that watched 33:09.510 --> 33:12.670 the tomb while he was asleep on the Sabbath day. 33:13.990 --> 33:18.170 Rome was certainly a power that was awake and in force at the time. 33:19.530 --> 33:23.130 Second characteristic, it arises out of the fourth beast. 33:23.270 --> 33:26.850 Can you remember when we went through the statue, the gold, the silver of 33:26.850 --> 33:30.270 Medo-Persia, the hips of Greece and the legs of Rome? 33:30.990 --> 33:34.150 And this is a power that comes out of the fourth beast. 33:34.410 --> 33:36.050 One, two, three, four. 33:37.010 --> 33:38.310 This is the fourth beast. 33:38.450 --> 33:40.970 This is the fourth kingdom that rises. 33:41.270 --> 33:43.310 It rises out of the Roman kingdom. 33:43.690 --> 33:46.870 Well, we know it as the Roman Catholic Church. 33:47.810 --> 33:52.210 Church history, again looking outside the Bible, confirms this on page 175. 33:52.750 --> 33:57.330 It says, When the last wave of barbarian invasions had spent its force, 33:57.710 --> 33:59.670 the face of Europe had been transformed. 34:00.230 --> 34:04.390 Independent Germanic kingdoms had been established on the ruins of the Roman 34:04.390 --> 34:05.410 Empire. 34:06.330 --> 34:09.570 So out of this Roman Empire came this new horn. 34:10.290 --> 34:14.610 The Church and churches on page 42 and 43 says a similar story. 34:15.330 --> 34:21.030 Out of the ruins of the Roman Empire there gradually arose a new order of state whose 34:21.030 --> 34:22.590 central point was the Papal Sea. 34:23.110 --> 34:27.530 Therefore inevitably resulted in a position not only new, but very different 34:27.530 --> 34:28.450 from the former. 34:28.670 --> 34:29.250 Do you remember that? 34:29.290 --> 34:31.330 It has to be diverse, different. 34:31.510 --> 34:32.990 Well, we'll look at that just now. 34:33.650 --> 34:39.530 The historian Thomas Hobbes in his book Leviathan on page 457, he explains that, 34:39.650 --> 34:44.650 If a man consider the origin of this great ecclesiastical dominion, he will easily 34:44.650 --> 34:49.130 perceive that the Papacy is none other than the ghost of the deceased Roman 34:49.130 --> 34:52.010 Empire sitting crowned upon the grave thereof. 34:53.130 --> 34:59.010 So history perceives the fact that what the Bible is telling us might be true. 34:59.630 --> 35:06.270 The third characteristic is it arises between those ten kingdoms, between ten 35:06.270 --> 35:06.610 horns. 35:06.930 --> 35:12.690 In other words, where Rome was is what we now know today as Europe. 35:13.430 --> 35:17.450 So it has to arise in Europe or in the European area. 35:17.910 --> 35:23.890 And we just look at the Time magazine which explains Europe's new frontiers with 35:23.890 --> 35:26.030 a sort of satellite image down on Europe. 35:26.390 --> 35:30.090 And we can think, where would Rome have been in that area? 35:30.310 --> 35:34.050 Where is the Roman kingdom today or the Vatican today? 35:34.210 --> 35:35.610 Is it in the European area? 35:35.770 --> 35:36.250 Absolutely. 35:37.470 --> 35:41.090 Just by the way, this image is a very interesting image. 35:41.310 --> 35:44.970 You'll notice that Time magazine puts the star coming from the north. 35:46.110 --> 35:49.930 And you'll remember just now when we read from Isaiah, Satan Lucifer said, 35:50.290 --> 35:52.930 I will exalt myself above the stars of God. 35:52.970 --> 35:55.510 I will sit, I want to be in the sides of the north. 35:56.410 --> 35:57.650 Well, this is not a difficult image. 35:57.790 --> 36:03.370 This is what they call signal pictures where they send out images to those that 36:03.370 --> 36:04.670 understand these symbols. 36:04.810 --> 36:06.430 We'll get into this in later lectures. 36:08.230 --> 36:10.650 Europe's new frontiers, Time magazine says. 36:11.710 --> 36:15.730 Well, out of that European area would arise this Roman kingdom. 36:16.670 --> 36:17.770 Characteristic number four. 36:18.430 --> 36:22.970 He arises after the ten horns, after all ten of them have already been 36:22.970 --> 36:23.510 set up. 36:24.270 --> 36:29.990 Well, we know that the Roman kingdom was split into ten separate little kingdoms, 36:30.150 --> 36:31.450 ten separate horns. 36:32.470 --> 36:37.650 Here they are, the Franks, the Anglo-Saxons, the Suevi, the Visigoths, 36:37.790 --> 36:41.410 the Burgundys, the Alamanni, the Lombards, the Ostrogoths, the Heruli and the 36:41.410 --> 36:41.810 Vandals. 36:42.350 --> 36:45.750 Those were the ten kingdoms which Rome became. 36:46.910 --> 36:53.870 Now, interestingly enough, we know that he works under the auspices of religion. 36:53.990 --> 36:59.250 And I still had to quote out of Matthew 24 to show that this power is going to be 36:59.250 --> 37:00.950 standing inside the temple. 37:02.230 --> 37:02.890 Well, question. 37:03.730 --> 37:10.190 If he works under the auspices of religion does the Roman Catholic papacy work as a 37:10.190 --> 37:10.910 religious figure? 37:11.010 --> 37:11.490 Yes or no? 37:12.510 --> 37:12.970 Absolutely. 37:14.250 --> 37:14.790 Number six. 37:14.990 --> 37:16.750 He has human-like qualities. 37:17.030 --> 37:17.930 He's not a computer. 37:18.230 --> 37:18.890 Quite correct. 37:19.210 --> 37:20.030 It's the papacy. 37:20.270 --> 37:22.370 It's a normal human being. 37:22.970 --> 37:23.870 Number seven. 37:24.070 --> 37:27.610 He's different and diverse from the others. 37:27.950 --> 37:33.250 You see, this is the first time in history that a power was both the power of the 37:33.250 --> 37:35.610 religious and the political world. 37:35.670 --> 37:40.070 Up to now, a power had been somebody like Alexander the Great who was a political 37:40.070 --> 37:42.210 power, a beast to be reckoned with. 37:42.970 --> 37:46.790 This was for the first time the combination of what they call today church 37:46.790 --> 37:47.370 and state. 37:48.370 --> 37:52.630 Western Europe from the decline of Rome to the Reformation on page 37 says, 37:52.890 --> 37:56.550 his or Justinian's reign saw the traditional view of the emperor as the 37:56.550 --> 38:02.110 protector of the church changed to that of the emperor as the governor of the church. 38:02.770 --> 38:07.810 So where his role was just a one-sided affair, he now started to look after both 38:07.810 --> 38:09.950 secular and religious issues as well. 38:10.850 --> 38:11.170 C.C. 38:11.210 --> 38:15.190 Eckhart, who is a historian, said in his book, The Papacy and the World Affairs, 38:15.290 --> 38:19.890 on the very first page, when the Roman Empire had disintegrated and its place had 38:19.890 --> 38:24.570 been taken by a number of rude barbarous kingdoms, the Roman Catholic Church not 38:24.570 --> 38:29.410 only became independent of state in religious affairs, but dominated secular 38:29.410 --> 38:30.270 affairs as well. 38:31.010 --> 38:33.950 So it's different from all the others. 38:34.630 --> 38:35.130 Number eight. 38:35.790 --> 38:40.630 Remember it has to uproot three kings or uproot three horns, three kingdoms before 38:40.630 --> 38:41.710 it can come to power? 38:42.650 --> 38:44.850 Well, let's go back to the graphic and have a look. 38:45.270 --> 38:49.790 Those were the ten kingdoms that came before and these are the seven kingdoms 38:49.790 --> 38:50.970 that remained behind. 38:51.950 --> 38:54.370 Arrhenius' followers were destroyed. 38:54.870 --> 39:00.810 All of the ones which they called or Arrian followers were destroyed by 538. 39:01.170 --> 39:03.290 Now there is a lot of debate around this. 39:03.670 --> 39:06.910 There were three specific kingdoms that were destroyed. 39:07.690 --> 39:10.130 Those were the Heruli, the Ostrogoths and the Vandals. 39:10.570 --> 39:14.310 Today we have the Visigoths which are today the Spanish. 39:14.470 --> 39:16.950 We have the Suevi which is today Portugal. 39:17.150 --> 39:19.390 We have the Saxons which is England. 39:19.570 --> 39:21.170 We have Lombards which is Italians. 39:21.330 --> 39:24.790 We have the Burgundians which are the Swiss and we have the Alemanni which are 39:24.790 --> 39:25.290 the Germans. 39:26.470 --> 39:31.570 And the papacy tells us or the Vatican system, the Catholic system tells us that 39:31.570 --> 39:35.630 these three kingdoms were not true followers of Christ. 39:35.750 --> 39:37.650 They were pagan type religions. 39:38.850 --> 39:45.010 Well we only know that from Catholic records because every time a kingdom was 39:45.010 --> 39:49.750 taken over, they and their records, every historic thing was wiped off the 39:49.750 --> 39:50.490 face of the earth. 39:51.410 --> 39:58.790 Some documents are now coming to light that we are starting to realize that it 39:58.790 --> 39:59.930 might not have been the case. 40:00.370 --> 40:06.130 These might have been three kingdoms that believed in the scriptures and sort of 40:06.130 --> 40:10.510 Biblical, the perspective on the Bible and the Bible alone, but we don't know that 40:10.510 --> 40:10.990 for sure. 40:11.370 --> 40:13.890 All we know is that they've been wiped off the map. 40:15.230 --> 40:18.450 Three kings that had to be uprooted before 538? 40:19.090 --> 40:19.570 Absolutely. 40:19.790 --> 40:20.830 Fulfillment of prophecy? 40:21.950 --> 40:22.430 100%. 40:22.430 --> 40:26.750 Number nine, this little power has to be greater than the others. 40:27.090 --> 40:29.610 It has to claim to rule the world. 40:30.370 --> 40:32.410 Well I can't tell you that they say that. 40:32.790 --> 40:36.750 We have to go into their documents and find out whether that can possibly be 40:36.750 --> 40:37.010 true. 40:37.910 --> 40:41.230 This is a quote from the Most Holy Councils, Volume 13. 40:41.690 --> 40:42.850 It says the following. 40:44.110 --> 40:49.210 We define that the Holy Apostolic See and the Roman Pontiff, that's the Pope, 40:49.610 --> 40:53.290 holds the primacy over the whole world. 40:54.650 --> 40:59.710 Now it's one thing to claim that, but it's another thing to repeat it and 40:59.710 --> 41:01.250 repeat it and repeat it. 41:01.630 --> 41:04.190 Let's have a look at what Henry Cardinal Manning says. 41:04.430 --> 41:05.650 These are all Catholic sources. 41:06.230 --> 41:09.030 The Temple Power of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, page 46. 41:10.030 --> 41:15.670 The vicar of the incarnate Son of God, anointed high priest and supreme temporal 41:15.670 --> 41:20.610 ruler, the Pope, sat in his tribunal impartially to judge between nation and 41:20.610 --> 41:25.010 nation, between people and prince, between sovereign and subject. 41:25.830 --> 41:26.470 Wow! 41:27.830 --> 41:33.570 This is a point of view from Henry Cardinal Manning that says the papacy, 41:34.110 --> 41:38.070 although the people on the ground don't know that, they think their king is in 41:38.070 --> 41:43.410 charge, the papacy is able to impartially judge between nation and nation and people 41:43.410 --> 41:45.310 and prince and sovereign and subject. 41:46.130 --> 41:48.390 This is not something that's normally known. 41:49.470 --> 41:53.210 Today we look at a very different picture, of course. 41:53.590 --> 41:59.010 The papacy wouldn't claim authority over the new world order or the world powers. 41:59.130 --> 41:59.970 Would that be possible? 42:00.770 --> 42:03.090 Well here's an image of Malachi Martin's book. 42:03.570 --> 42:06.230 He's a pontifical professor in the Vatican. 42:06.930 --> 42:09.190 He wrote this book, The Keys of this Blood. 42:09.930 --> 42:11.730 Read the subtext underneath the heading. 42:11.830 --> 42:18.930 It says, Pope John Paul II versus Russia and the West for control of the new world 42:18.930 --> 42:19.670 order. 42:21.150 --> 42:26.710 For this entire period of time, this power has still claimed more and more 42:26.710 --> 42:27.730 and more authority. 42:28.330 --> 42:32.530 And it's getting to the point now, we're going to get right into the lectures 42:32.530 --> 42:35.890 and we're going to see more and more how this power is claiming more and more 42:35.890 --> 42:36.170 power. 42:36.290 --> 42:41.730 The papacy saying that I will control your country, not that the people on the ground 42:41.730 --> 42:46.270 will know, but the kings know quietly that I'm the power that rules you. 42:46.630 --> 42:49.250 This power has to be greater than the others. 42:49.810 --> 42:50.790 Fulfillment of prophecy? 42:51.230 --> 42:51.730 Absolutely. 42:53.110 --> 42:54.290 What about number 10? 42:54.470 --> 42:56.550 He makes war with the saints. 42:57.950 --> 43:00.690 Well again, we just have to go back in history and have a look. 43:01.130 --> 43:04.730 The title, or the word heresy comes to mind. 43:05.330 --> 43:10.650 In the article Heresy on page 440, it states, heresy or from the Greek 43:10.650 --> 43:15.830 heresis, which means choice, which means deciding for oneself what you want to 43:15.830 --> 43:16.150 believe. 43:17.070 --> 43:22.990 So if you want to believe what the Bible says and the papacy says, no, no, 43:23.030 --> 43:25.110 no, I say this, the Bible says that. 43:25.470 --> 43:30.550 If you decide for yourself to rather go this way, opposing what the pope says, 43:30.710 --> 43:32.070 you are called a heretic. 43:33.310 --> 43:38.790 Now heresis means choice, deciding for oneself what we should and shouldn't 43:38.790 --> 43:39.190 believe. 43:40.230 --> 43:44.650 So let's have a look at the regulations of the Synod of Toulouse concerning the 43:44.650 --> 43:45.310 Inquisition. 43:45.430 --> 43:49.230 This was the persecution of those that didn't believe according to the Catholic 43:49.230 --> 43:49.590 Church. 43:49.870 --> 43:51.930 This is in 1229. 43:52.090 --> 43:53.150 This is a long time ago. 43:53.910 --> 43:58.310 A priest and two or more lay people must diligently search out heretics. 43:58.470 --> 44:00.710 In other words, those people that want to believe what they want to believe. 44:01.270 --> 44:06.250 If they discover a heretic, a follower, a patron or a protector of heretics, 44:06.370 --> 44:11.390 they must, taking precaution that they do not escape, quickly notify the bishop and 44:11.390 --> 44:15.010 mayor of the place or his bailiff so they will be duly punished. 44:15.570 --> 44:20.690 The house where a heretic is found must be torn down and the property must be 44:20.690 --> 44:21.390 confiscated. 44:22.030 --> 44:26.590 All members of the parish shall vow to the bishop under oath that they will preserve 44:26.590 --> 44:30.010 the Catholic faith and will persecute heretics according to their power. 44:30.570 --> 44:32.690 This oath must be renewed every two years. 44:33.510 --> 44:37.250 Lay people are not permitted to possess the books of the Old and the New 44:37.250 --> 44:37.710 Testament. 44:38.010 --> 44:39.190 They are not allowed to read these books. 44:39.690 --> 44:44.870 Only the Psalter, the Breviary or the little office of the Blessed Virgin and 44:44.870 --> 44:46.950 these books not in the vernacular language. 44:47.670 --> 44:52.110 Pastors must explain these regulations to their parishioners four times a year. 44:53.470 --> 44:59.550 So there was a certain movement that was pushed out a long time ago which allowed 44:59.550 --> 45:04.810 even the members to persecute the members if they were deemed or even the suspicion. 45:04.970 --> 45:09.930 Suspicion was conviction in those days where if you were considered to be 45:09.930 --> 45:13.750 somebody that thought along the lines of thinking anything other than what the 45:13.750 --> 45:17.630 papacy says, you were deemed a heretic and your house was to be burnt and you were to 45:17.630 --> 45:18.670 be set alight yourself. 45:19.630 --> 45:24.270 The History Channel gives an image of just one of the many ways that they tortured 45:24.270 --> 45:26.990 these poor souls over these many, many years. 45:27.770 --> 45:32.090 Tying them onto a wheel, making a fire underneath and slowly roasting them over 45:32.090 --> 45:33.210 these burnt coals. 45:33.530 --> 45:37.050 Absolutely disgusting, despicable things that were done to these people. 45:38.070 --> 45:41.670 Catholic professor Alfred Baudrillard said the following. 45:42.850 --> 45:45.750 The Catholic Church is a respecter of conscience and of liberty. 45:46.790 --> 45:51.170 Nevertheless, when confronted by heresy, she has recourse to force, to corporal 45:51.170 --> 45:52.310 punishment, to torture. 45:52.970 --> 45:55.530 She lit in Italy the funeral piles of the Inquisition. 45:56.390 --> 45:58.330 This was confirmed in Cardinal Bellarmine. 45:58.690 --> 46:03.830 A bit later he speaks about the experience that teaches that there is no other remedy 46:03.830 --> 46:08.230 for the evil but to put heretics or Protestants to death. 46:09.170 --> 46:13.290 For the Romish Church proceeded gradually and tried every remedy. 46:13.790 --> 46:18.150 At first she, this is now the Roman Catholic Church, she merely excommunicated 46:18.150 --> 46:18.430 them. 46:18.990 --> 46:24.330 Afterwards she added a fine, then she banished them and, oh shame, finally she 46:24.330 --> 46:27.110 was constrained to put them to death. 46:28.110 --> 46:34.230 Very, very sad how she was constrained when the people said, but the Bible says 46:34.230 --> 46:34.910 something else. 46:35.250 --> 46:37.050 They were called Protestants. 46:38.410 --> 46:42.530 Protestors, people that protested that what you are trying to sell me is not 46:42.530 --> 46:42.890 true. 46:43.590 --> 46:46.390 The Bible says the following and I can't go against that. 46:46.870 --> 46:47.810 Who are you to tell me? 46:48.070 --> 46:51.890 Those people, they were constrained to put those people to death. 46:52.810 --> 46:56.530 And these are the type of disgusting things that were done to these people, 46:57.610 --> 47:04.450 put on chairs of spikes and wired into these torture chambers, this one on the 47:04.450 --> 47:10.310 top right here being a back brace where they would bend the spinal cord over this 47:10.310 --> 47:15.050 point to try and torture you into submission so that you would give up your 47:15.050 --> 47:18.710 protesting against the papacy and acknowledge that he is a true leader. 47:19.830 --> 47:25.910 History tells us that today more than a hundred million Christians have been 47:25.910 --> 47:27.330 killed throughout the Middle Ages. 47:28.290 --> 47:32.570 Not only a hundred million, some people are calculating as high as a hundred and 47:32.570 --> 47:36.370 fifty million people have been killed through this means. 47:36.790 --> 47:37.850 Makes war with the saints? 47:38.830 --> 47:39.790 Fulfillment of prophecy? 47:40.230 --> 47:40.790 Absolutely. 47:42.190 --> 47:44.110 What about the next characteristic, number 11? 47:44.710 --> 47:47.170 He speaks against God. 47:47.930 --> 47:51.510 Now, this is where this power comes into its full might. 47:52.050 --> 47:56.830 He says, statement made on crowning of Pope Leo the 10th, this is by Morgan 47:56.830 --> 48:02.890 Thomas, he says in his book Pontiff on page 332, receive the tiara, this is the 48:02.890 --> 48:05.410 statement made when Pope Leo was crowned. 48:05.750 --> 48:10.630 Receive the tiara, be ordained with the triple crown and know that thou art the 48:10.630 --> 48:15.970 father of the princes and of kings, victor of the whole world, a replacement 48:15.970 --> 48:22.130 of Jesus Christ and receive the glory and honor that has no end and that belongs to 48:22.130 --> 48:22.390 you. 48:23.810 --> 48:30.870 Mother Teresa, later on in time, said in 1984 at the worldwide retreat for 48:30.870 --> 48:35.790 priests, this is her speaking herself, she said, only when the priest is there 48:35.790 --> 48:40.130 can we have our altar and tabernacle and Jesus. 48:40.970 --> 48:43.430 Only the priest can put Jesus there for us. 48:43.950 --> 48:47.690 Jesus wants to go there, but we cannot bring him without the priest. 48:47.930 --> 48:50.090 The priest is another Christ. 48:52.110 --> 48:57.070 You see, when you are reading and analyzing these things, we have come to 48:57.070 --> 49:01.370 believe that, or the protestors, the protestants have come to be told that, 49:01.610 --> 49:07.090 no, no, no, what happened, happened a long time ago and that was a misunderstanding. 49:08.870 --> 49:13.690 Well, we are going to have to look into this in some depth, because in 1984, 49:14.250 --> 49:19.430 that's only 13 years ago, or 23 years ago at least, that's only a quarter of a 49:19.430 --> 49:23.790 century ago, Mother Teresa said the same thing. 49:25.130 --> 49:29.110 This power will speak blasphemies against God. 49:30.290 --> 49:32.550 He in fact blasphemes God himself. 49:33.550 --> 49:37.030 Now, I again can't tell you what a blasphemy is. 49:37.870 --> 49:40.910 We say, the Bible says he's going to speak blasphemies. 49:41.110 --> 49:43.990 So please, Bible, could you tell us what a blasphemy is? 49:44.790 --> 49:49.450 Well, in Luke 5, 20 and 21, we get a very clear indication of what it is. 49:49.670 --> 49:50.470 Let's read it together. 49:51.050 --> 49:55.130 And when he saw their faith, he said, Man, your sins are forgiven you. 49:55.430 --> 49:59.430 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, Who is this who speaks 49:59.430 --> 50:00.190 blasphemies? 50:00.290 --> 50:02.150 Who can forgive sins but God alone? 50:03.570 --> 50:06.090 So according to Luke, what is a blasphemy? 50:06.890 --> 50:10.950 A blasphemy is somebody that claims to be able to forgive your sins. 50:11.610 --> 50:13.270 So that's the one biblical example. 50:13.650 --> 50:18.290 The second biblical example is available for reading in John 10. 50:18.750 --> 50:19.570 Let's read it together. 50:19.710 --> 50:21.650 John 10, verses 30 to 33. 50:22.030 --> 50:23.350 This is Jesus speaking. 50:23.470 --> 50:26.510 He said, I and the Father are one. 50:27.430 --> 50:32.990 Verse 33 says, And the Jews answered him, It is not for a good work that we are 50:32.990 --> 50:38.050 going to stone you, but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself 50:38.050 --> 50:38.970 God. 50:40.030 --> 50:44.490 So the first definition of blasphemy is claiming to be able to forgive sins. 50:44.850 --> 50:50.750 The second biblical definition of blasphemy is calling yourself as a man, 50:51.430 --> 50:52.030 God. 50:53.010 --> 50:55.610 Biblical characteristics of blasphemy. 50:56.530 --> 50:59.590 Does this power somehow fulfill these blasphemies? 50:59.750 --> 51:01.390 Well, let's have a look at their documentation. 51:02.770 --> 51:07.470 Catholic Encyclopedia, volume 2, article on the Pope, page 265. 51:08.110 --> 51:13.110 This judicial authority will even include the power to pardon sin. 51:14.090 --> 51:14.990 Let's check another one. 51:15.370 --> 51:17.090 The Catholic Priest, page 87. 51:17.790 --> 51:21.430 Seek where you will through heaven and earth and you will find one created being 51:21.430 --> 51:25.290 who can forgive the sinner, who can free him from the chains of hell. 51:25.550 --> 51:30.750 That extraordinary being is the priest, the Roman Catholic priest. 51:31.130 --> 51:34.590 Is this power speaking blasphemies, according to Luke? 51:35.070 --> 51:35.650 Yes. 51:36.310 --> 51:37.290 Let's try another one. 51:37.650 --> 51:40.890 The Catholic National, July 1895. 51:41.450 --> 51:44.090 Thou art a priest forever, says the ordaining bishop. 51:44.490 --> 51:50.750 He is no longer a man, a sinful child of Adam, but an alter Christus, another 51:50.750 --> 51:51.330 Christ. 51:52.030 --> 51:56.790 Forever a priest of the Most High with the power over the Almighty. 51:57.070 --> 52:01.730 The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ 52:01.730 --> 52:03.930 himself, hidden under the veil of flesh. 52:05.670 --> 52:10.970 Here is a man calling himself God above the God of heaven. 52:11.630 --> 52:16.170 According to the Catholic National, their own documentation, this power has 52:16.170 --> 52:17.690 power over the Almighty. 52:18.730 --> 52:20.610 Is that a blasphemy according to the Bible? 52:21.250 --> 52:21.850 Absolutely. 52:23.530 --> 52:26.650 Dignity and Duties of the Priest, volume 12, page 27. 52:26.970 --> 52:29.590 All of these are their quotes. 52:29.830 --> 52:32.150 I'm not saying this, they are saying it. 52:33.090 --> 52:37.990 And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priests, and either not to 52:37.990 --> 52:41.950 pardon or to pardon according as they refuse or give absolution. 52:42.130 --> 52:43.670 Listen to this, let me read it again. 52:44.530 --> 52:51.010 And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priests, and either not to 52:51.010 --> 52:55.990 pardon or to pardon according as they refuse or give absolution. 52:56.430 --> 53:00.510 The sentence of the priest proceeds and God subscribes to it. 53:01.870 --> 53:02.510 Blasphemy? 53:03.330 --> 53:03.970 Absolutely. 53:04.730 --> 53:07.630 Imagine saying that God has to listen to what you decide. 53:08.710 --> 53:11.930 Michael Muller, in his book, The Catholic Priest, said something as well. 53:12.650 --> 53:16.010 He says, or he asks the question, who can forgive sins? 53:16.850 --> 53:21.150 There is a man on this earth that can forgive sins, and that man is the Catholic 53:21.150 --> 53:21.550 Priest. 53:21.930 --> 53:26.970 Yes, beloved brethren, the priest does not only declare that the sin is, or the sin 53:26.970 --> 53:29.790 to be forgiven, but actually forgives the sin. 53:30.610 --> 53:35.070 The priest lifts his hand, speaks the word, and instantly the sinner becomes a 53:35.070 --> 53:35.650 child of God. 53:36.030 --> 53:40.150 So great is the power of the priest that the judgment of heaven is subject to the 53:40.150 --> 53:41.070 decision of the priest. 53:42.490 --> 53:44.750 My word, this is powerful stuff. 53:46.110 --> 53:50.530 Throughout these lectures, I will not be saying a thing. 53:51.350 --> 53:58.650 I will give you quote after quote after quote from their sources that will confirm 53:58.650 --> 54:00.530 that what the Bible is saying is true. 54:01.630 --> 54:07.730 Cardinal Bellarmine said on Authority of Councils, Volume 2, page 266, all the 54:07.730 --> 54:13.530 names which in Scripture are applied to Christ, the same names are applied to the 54:13.530 --> 54:13.750 Pope. 54:14.950 --> 54:22.130 And then in June 20 of 1894, the great encyclical letters of Pope Leo XIII, 54:22.630 --> 54:27.550 it is written, We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty. 54:28.630 --> 54:32.950 Now when you claim to be God Almighty, you are claiming something at a great 54:32.950 --> 54:33.330 risk. 54:33.570 --> 54:39.310 Acts 12 verses 21-23 tell us of a story where Herod one day claimed the same. 54:39.630 --> 54:43.430 And read with me what it says, And upon a set day Herod arrayed in royal 54:43.430 --> 54:46.690 apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them. 54:46.710 --> 54:48.490 In other words, he was speaking to them. 54:48.850 --> 54:53.630 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a God and not of a man. 54:54.270 --> 54:57.950 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the 54:57.950 --> 55:01.330 glory, and he was eaten of worms and gave up the ghost. 55:02.090 --> 55:09.150 It is a risky thing to claim authority and glory for yourself rather than to give it 55:09.150 --> 55:09.570 to God. 55:11.110 --> 55:18.350 Here is an old pope, Pope Benedict, claiming himself to be God, as if by the 55:18.350 --> 55:23.970 birth of Jesus Christ when they came to give gifts to God, he is doing the same. 55:25.810 --> 55:28.050 Underneath it is written, Gifts. 55:28.730 --> 55:34.330 Pope Benedict XVI receives offertory gifts from the children dressed as the Magi 55:34.330 --> 55:40.070 during the Mass in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican on January 1st, the Feast of 55:40.070 --> 55:41.770 Mary, Mother of God. 55:43.190 --> 55:46.050 Again, Benedict is claiming to be God. 55:47.550 --> 55:51.870 You see, what we are going to have to look at is, what did they say in the past and 55:51.870 --> 55:52.890 what are they saying today? 55:53.490 --> 55:56.970 Many of the quotes that I give you are going to come closer and closer and closer 55:56.970 --> 55:58.030 to where we are today. 55:58.650 --> 56:02.510 And you are going to see that this beast, this antichrist power hasn't changed. 56:04.290 --> 56:08.590 Throughout history the same meaning must be given to prophecy in the past as what 56:08.590 --> 56:09.190 it is today. 56:09.730 --> 56:13.670 We just have to look into media through the filter of prophecy and be able to 56:13.670 --> 56:15.130 recognize all of these signs. 56:15.890 --> 56:18.870 Everything is being fulfilled to absolute perfection. 56:20.070 --> 56:21.930 We've only done eleven of the characteristics. 56:22.450 --> 56:23.430 Let's do number twelve. 56:26.150 --> 56:27.190 He blasphemes God. 56:27.630 --> 56:28.690 We've just done that. 56:28.750 --> 56:29.790 Let's do number thirteen. 56:31.350 --> 56:33.510 He blasphemes God's tabernacle. 56:34.790 --> 56:40.050 Now, if you don't understand what it means by God's tabernacle, then it's difficult 56:40.050 --> 56:42.610 to realize how he is blaspheming it. 56:43.650 --> 56:47.450 Many of the blasphemies which he does are done in secret. 56:48.050 --> 56:52.870 And I will be uncovering in the next lecture and the lecture thereafter how the 56:52.870 --> 57:01.170 true secret religions are in opposition to the tabernacle or the sanctuary of God. 57:01.770 --> 57:06.010 But just on the surface itself, if you look into St. Peter's and into the 57:06.010 --> 57:09.590 Vatican and into Roman Catholic churches, you'll see the same thing. 57:10.210 --> 57:15.510 Here's an image of St. Peter and above you've got what's called Bernini's canopy 57:15.510 --> 57:19.030 with the serpentine pillars going to the top. 57:20.270 --> 57:26.010 You've got the images of gold and of wealth and not only of that, but of the 57:26.010 --> 57:27.170 snake figures themselves. 57:27.970 --> 57:32.270 On these serpentine pillars which go to the top, you look up at the top, 57:32.350 --> 57:36.130 you've got sun symbols which will get into in later lectures. 57:36.270 --> 57:39.370 You've got honeycombs, you've got beehives, you've got bees. 57:39.850 --> 57:45.830 And then not only is the temple which is sacred or supposed to be sanctified in 57:45.830 --> 57:50.350 front of God blasphemed, but the things which are done inside the temple are 57:50.350 --> 57:51.930 blasphemous to God. 57:53.150 --> 57:56.990 What is the first thing you have to do when you walk as a Roman Catholic into a 57:56.990 --> 57:57.750 Catholic church? 57:58.070 --> 58:01.450 Is you have to kneel down in front of the cross with Jesus on it. 58:02.690 --> 58:07.030 Well, this is what is known in the Ten Commandments as bowing down to a graven 58:07.030 --> 58:09.710 image, which we are told we're not allowed to do. 58:10.670 --> 58:15.530 And here are images of the Pope worshipping and bowing down to a statue of 58:15.530 --> 58:15.790 Mary. 58:16.730 --> 58:21.370 Benedict does the same thing as an image of Pope Benedict bowing down and 58:21.370 --> 58:22.810 worshipping a statue of Mary. 58:23.690 --> 58:26.410 Number 14, he blasphemes the angels. 58:27.170 --> 58:28.770 Well, we just have to look into the Vatican. 58:29.170 --> 58:33.930 We can go into the St. Peter's Basilica or we can go into the Sistine Chapel. 58:34.270 --> 58:40.070 You look up at the ceiling and there you have many, many, many pictures of the 58:40.070 --> 58:43.250 angels in a tiny little cherub form. 58:43.770 --> 58:49.250 Weak little babies with tiny little wings that don't really have power over 58:49.250 --> 58:49.670 anything. 58:50.750 --> 58:58.090 A biblical depiction of the angel is a type of male power, powerful male form, 58:58.670 --> 59:03.530 which when needed can overpower just through the breath of an angel, 59:03.550 --> 59:07.090 just through one movement can overpower thousands of people. 59:08.250 --> 59:12.930 This transformation of the angels into tiny little weak cherubs that are very 59:12.930 --> 59:15.790 cute, that's blasphemous against the Word of God. 59:17.110 --> 59:22.450 Number 15, the characteristic number 15, he will change times. 59:23.190 --> 59:27.790 Well, he will think to change times because time was set up by God. 59:28.130 --> 59:29.890 And you can't change what God has set up. 59:30.270 --> 59:34.890 You can think to change it, or think that you are changing it, but you can't really 59:34.890 --> 59:35.490 change it. 59:36.370 --> 59:43.830 World Almanac on page 646 says the following, by 1582 the accumulated error 59:43.830 --> 59:45.390 was estimated at 10 days. 59:46.090 --> 59:51.410 In that year, Pope Gregory XIII decreed that the day following October 4th, 59:51.430 --> 59:58.750 1582, should be called October 15, thus dropping 10 days and initiating the 59:58.750 --> 59:59.850 Gregorian calendar. 01:00:00.930 --> 01:00:04.070 The Gregorian calendar is the calendar we live according to today. 01:00:05.150 --> 01:00:07.990 The week was still kept the same, it was still Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 01:00:08.170 --> 01:00:12.510 Thursday, Friday, but as it explains in this graphic, Monday was the first, 01:00:12.630 --> 01:00:16.570 Tuesday the second, Wednesday the third, Thursday the fourth, and Friday was the 01:00:16.570 --> 01:00:17.030 fifteenth. 01:00:17.710 --> 01:00:22.010 The rotation of the week was the same, but the date was changed, and he thought 01:00:22.010 --> 01:00:23.630 to change the times. 01:00:24.530 --> 01:00:28.930 Not only was the calendar changed, but midnight was changed, or the start of 01:00:28.930 --> 01:00:29.990 the day was changed. 01:00:31.010 --> 01:00:37.210 Throughout history, or biblical history, time started, the day starts, when you go 01:00:37.210 --> 01:00:37.770 to sleep. 01:00:38.950 --> 01:00:42.870 It's the reason that the Sabbath starts on the Friday evening, because you can't 01:00:42.870 --> 01:00:47.190 start the Sabbath by working, you start the Sabbath by resting, it's the rest day. 01:00:47.510 --> 01:00:50.450 So on a Friday evening the Sabbath starts. 01:00:50.670 --> 01:00:55.830 Every day started at sunset and ended at sunset with a new day starting at sunset. 01:00:56.370 --> 01:01:00.090 This was changed, now we live according to midnight to midnight. 01:01:00.450 --> 01:01:05.210 Every day starts at zero, zero, zero, zero, and ends at eleven at night, 01:01:05.470 --> 01:01:06.450 eleven fifty-nine. 01:01:07.170 --> 01:01:09.250 This power will think to change laws. 01:01:10.210 --> 01:01:15.450 Now, if you are in opposition to and coming in the place of Christ, 01:01:15.990 --> 01:01:18.150 whose laws do you think you're going to want to change? 01:01:19.410 --> 01:01:20.330 Zimbabwe's laws? 01:01:21.090 --> 01:01:22.150 America's laws? 01:01:22.770 --> 01:01:23.790 Australia's laws? 01:01:25.270 --> 01:01:27.510 God's laws, that's who you're going to want to change. 01:01:28.950 --> 01:01:33.310 Decretal de Translap Episcop Cap, explains exactly that. 01:01:33.770 --> 01:01:38.210 Roman Catholic source that says, the Pope has the power to change times, 01:01:38.650 --> 01:01:42.390 to abrogate laws and dispense with all things, now listen to what they say, 01:01:42.810 --> 01:01:45.170 even the precepts of Christ. 01:01:46.310 --> 01:01:50.870 Prompto Bibliotheca Papa article two says the Pope can modify divine law. 01:01:52.330 --> 01:01:55.410 You see, if you have a look in the Old Testament and you go and have a look at 01:01:55.410 --> 01:02:01.410 the normal King James Bible, and you have a look, what are the ten commandments in 01:02:01.410 --> 01:02:02.950 the King James Bible? 01:02:03.510 --> 01:02:07.650 And you lay them out, one, thou shalt not have any other gods before thee. 01:02:08.190 --> 01:02:11.470 Two, thou shalt not bow down to any graven image. 01:02:12.330 --> 01:02:16.130 Three, thou shalt not take the name of thy Lord in vain. 01:02:16.890 --> 01:02:18.790 Four, remember the Sabbath day. 01:02:20.330 --> 01:02:23.930 Have a look for a moment if you can, here's an image for you if you don't have 01:02:23.930 --> 01:02:29.110 one at your bedside, the Catechism of the Catholic Church by Cardinal Peter 01:02:29.110 --> 01:02:33.590 Gasparri, this is brand new, it's 1932, this is a newish document. 01:02:34.390 --> 01:02:37.210 Have a look, what are the ten commandments available there? 01:02:38.170 --> 01:02:42.910 One, I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt have no other gods before me. 01:02:43.090 --> 01:02:45.390 Wonderful, thank you very much, that's the same as ours. 01:02:45.830 --> 01:02:51.170 Number two, thou shalt not take the name of thy Lord God in vain. 01:02:52.350 --> 01:02:53.590 Stop a second there. 01:02:54.290 --> 01:02:58.630 What is the second commandment in the King James Version Bible? 01:02:59.370 --> 01:03:05.430 The second commandment is, thou shalt not bow down to any graven image, right? 01:03:06.090 --> 01:03:10.270 What is the second commandment in the Catechism of the Catholic Church? 01:03:10.710 --> 01:03:13.810 Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain. 01:03:14.290 --> 01:03:16.070 But that's the third commandment. 01:03:16.410 --> 01:03:18.950 The fourth commandment says, remember the Sabbath. 01:03:19.470 --> 01:03:22.950 But here, the third commandment says, remember the Sabbath. 01:03:24.130 --> 01:03:28.070 You see, what has happened here is that the second commandment has been removed. 01:03:29.030 --> 01:03:33.990 Remember, we've just read the article that says the Pope can modify divine law. 01:03:34.550 --> 01:03:38.050 The only divine law that's left on earth is the moral law. 01:03:38.770 --> 01:03:43.850 So the papacy takes the opportunity and the chance to remove the one that says, 01:03:43.950 --> 01:03:47.710 I'm not allowed to kneel down in front of the statue of Mary, or I'm not allowed to 01:03:47.710 --> 01:03:50.850 kneel down in front of the cross with Jesus Christ on it, because it's a graven 01:03:50.850 --> 01:03:51.210 image. 01:03:52.030 --> 01:03:57.690 It takes it out and issues its own ten commandments and says, please abide by 01:03:57.690 --> 01:03:58.030 these. 01:03:58.650 --> 01:04:03.750 Not only is that the one change that they've made, if you read on, you've now 01:04:03.750 --> 01:04:04.490 removed one. 01:04:04.590 --> 01:04:06.390 You can't live by the nine commandments. 01:04:07.430 --> 01:04:10.110 So they've obviously had to make another change. 01:04:10.310 --> 01:04:14.910 They've taken number 10 and they've split it in half and in true occult fashion, 01:04:15.010 --> 01:04:16.150 they've turned it upside down. 01:04:16.770 --> 01:04:22.270 So now, where the King James Version Bible reads, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's 01:04:22.270 --> 01:04:25.710 house, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's wife. 01:04:26.450 --> 01:04:30.570 Their ninth commandment reads, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. 01:04:30.670 --> 01:04:34.050 And then their 10th reads, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods. 01:04:35.070 --> 01:04:41.270 These are a new set of 10 commandments issued by the papal power in contradiction 01:04:41.270 --> 01:04:43.170 to the word of God. 01:04:43.670 --> 01:04:49.110 The Catholic Encyclopedia says the following on page 153 on volume 4. 01:04:49.650 --> 01:04:53.750 The church, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath of the seventh day 01:04:53.750 --> 01:04:57.630 of the week, made the third commandment, which should naturally read as the fourth 01:04:57.630 --> 01:05:00.670 commandment, referred to Sunday as the day to be kept as the Lord's day. 01:05:01.490 --> 01:05:02.490 They admit it. 01:05:02.850 --> 01:05:03.610 They know it. 01:05:03.970 --> 01:05:08.190 They changed it because they changed the commandments and then they changed the 01:05:08.190 --> 01:05:08.330 Sabbath. 01:05:08.350 --> 01:05:10.090 We're going to get into that in the next lecture. 01:05:11.030 --> 01:05:12.150 What about number 17? 01:05:12.370 --> 01:05:16.350 He will rule for 1,260 years. 01:05:18.010 --> 01:05:21.870 Well, Labanco, who's a professor of history at the University of Rome, 01:05:21.970 --> 01:05:22.590 says the following. 01:05:23.470 --> 01:05:27.190 To the succession of the Caesars came the succession of the Pontiffs in Rome. 01:05:27.290 --> 01:05:31.150 When Constantine left Rome, he gave his seat to the Pontiff. 01:05:31.810 --> 01:05:35.570 Legally recognized supremacy of the Pope began in 538 A.D. 01:05:35.710 --> 01:05:40.750 when they went into effect a decree from Emperor Justinian, making the Bishop of 01:05:40.750 --> 01:05:44.610 Rome head over all the churches, the definer of doctrine and the corrector 01:05:44.610 --> 01:05:45.210 of heretics. 01:05:46.750 --> 01:05:50.110 Virgilius ascended the papal chair in 538 A.D. 01:05:50.470 --> 01:05:52.510 under the military protection of Belisarius. 01:05:52.850 --> 01:05:55.330 That's from History of the Christian Church, Volume 3. 01:05:56.190 --> 01:05:58.290 So 538, BOOM! 01:05:58.530 --> 01:06:03.290 We've got our starting gun for this marathon period of 1,260 years. 01:06:03.730 --> 01:06:07.070 Virgilius ascended the papal chair in 538. 01:06:07.170 --> 01:06:07.770 That's history. 01:06:07.970 --> 01:06:08.770 That's not biblical. 01:06:09.010 --> 01:06:10.470 That's pure history. 01:06:11.390 --> 01:06:18.630 So if we add 1,260 years from 538, remembering that there's no zero here, 01:06:19.030 --> 01:06:26.090 minus 3, minus 2, minus 1, 1, 2, etc., we come to the year of 1798. 01:06:28.190 --> 01:06:31.050 Would you like to guess what happened in 1798? 01:06:33.610 --> 01:06:34.070 1798? 01:06:34.610 --> 01:06:38.810 Well, I tell you what, let's not look into the Bible, let's look outside the Bible 01:06:38.810 --> 01:06:40.310 and find out what history says. 01:06:40.950 --> 01:06:43.190 Church History, page 24, says the following. 01:06:43.790 --> 01:06:49.890 The murder of a Frenchman in Rome in 1798 gave the French an excuse to occupy the 01:06:49.890 --> 01:06:54.570 Eternal City and put an end to the papal temporal power. 01:06:55.810 --> 01:07:01.270 In 1798, the papacy as a power came to an end. 01:07:02.310 --> 01:07:03.950 This quote continues... 01:07:12.870 --> 01:07:18.310 Another quote from the Encyclopedia Americana in 1941 says... 01:07:18.310 --> 01:07:22.190 In 1798, Berthier made his entrance into Rome. 01:07:22.450 --> 01:07:25.770 He abolished the papal government and established a secular one. 01:07:26.250 --> 01:07:30.310 Berthier entered Rome on the 10th of February in 1798 and proclaimed a 01:07:30.310 --> 01:07:30.730 republic. 01:07:31.730 --> 01:07:37.450 Half Europe thought Napoleon's veto would be obeyed and that the pope and the papacy 01:07:37.450 --> 01:07:38.770 was dead. 01:07:39.750 --> 01:07:42.070 Modern papacy by Reverend Joseph Rickerby. 01:07:43.610 --> 01:07:48.290 History confirming what the 01:07:56.410 --> 01:07:57.070 papacy was in the 19th century. 01:07:57.130 --> 01:07:59.530 It's a perfect fulfillment of prophecy. 01:08:02.710 --> 01:08:08.870 Number 19 specifically identified the power of how he must be killed. 01:08:08.970 --> 01:08:10.530 He says, with the sword he must be killed. 01:08:11.210 --> 01:08:15.870 Now, the way it's written in the Bible, it explains that in In the same manner as 01:08:15.870 --> 01:08:21.190 he took over control of certain people, in the same manner he will be removed from 01:08:21.190 --> 01:08:21.790 his power. 01:08:22.410 --> 01:08:26.730 In other words, he will be forced from power like he forced the Protestants, 01:08:26.830 --> 01:08:28.090 the Protesters from power. 01:08:28.450 --> 01:08:28.850 Fulfilled? 01:08:29.350 --> 01:08:29.950 Absolutely. 01:08:30.870 --> 01:08:33.750 Number 20 says that the wound will be healed. 01:08:34.930 --> 01:08:40.150 Now, that means that after this death of the papacy, he will come to life again. 01:08:40.910 --> 01:08:43.730 Let's just read again Revelation 13 verse 3. 01:08:44.050 --> 01:08:49.310 And I saw one of his heads, as it were, wounded to death, and his deadly wound was 01:08:49.310 --> 01:08:49.750 healed. 01:08:51.110 --> 01:08:56.390 Now in 1929, Mussolini and Cardinal Gaspari signed the Italian-Vatican Treaty. 01:08:57.110 --> 01:09:03.050 The Pope received 750 million lira for his support of the fascist party. 01:09:03.790 --> 01:09:11.350 On this historical day, Benito Mussolini restored the Pope's power as a political 01:09:11.350 --> 01:09:11.850 entity. 01:09:11.950 --> 01:09:14.710 He gave him back his own little kingdom. 01:09:15.370 --> 01:09:18.690 And there is the San Francisco Chronicle, an image of the Chronicle. 01:09:18.830 --> 01:09:19.510 Read this with me. 01:09:19.570 --> 01:09:20.410 It is phenomenal. 01:09:20.790 --> 01:09:22.270 They know what they are doing, he says. 01:09:22.690 --> 01:09:26.390 The Roman question tonight was a thing of the past, and the Vatican was at peace 01:09:26.390 --> 01:09:26.870 with Italy. 01:09:27.550 --> 01:09:32.850 In affixing the autographs of the memorial document, healing the wound, extreme 01:09:32.850 --> 01:09:34.910 cordiality was displayed on both sides. 01:09:35.190 --> 01:09:36.970 February 11, 1929. 01:09:38.330 --> 01:09:41.630 Lastly we need to look at his number, 666. 01:09:42.710 --> 01:09:46.330 Our Sunday visitor, which is the Catholic Weekly, explains to us that the letters 01:09:46.330 --> 01:09:48.470 inscribed in the Pope's mitre are these. 01:09:48.950 --> 01:09:54.010 Vicarius Filii Dei, which is Latin for the Vicar of the Son of God. 01:09:54.370 --> 01:09:56.490 That's inscribed inside his mitre. 01:09:57.290 --> 01:10:01.470 Now the literal meaning of Vicarius Filii Dei means Vicarius is substituting for, 01:10:01.570 --> 01:10:05.870 or in the place of, Filii is the Son and Dei is God. 01:10:05.970 --> 01:10:08.650 So substituting in the place of the Son of God. 01:10:08.770 --> 01:10:10.110 That's what's written in his mitre. 01:10:10.810 --> 01:10:14.590 Now you only have to do a mathematical calculation because the Bible says 01:10:14.590 --> 01:10:16.650 calculate the number of the beast. 01:10:17.290 --> 01:10:22.770 And you take, in those days, each letter referred to a number, or was a number, 01:10:23.430 --> 01:10:25.850 and the Roman lettering was the same. 01:10:25.850 --> 01:10:28.250 V would be a 5 and X would be a 10. 01:10:28.710 --> 01:10:33.870 So your Vicarius Filii Dei would add up to 666. 01:10:35.310 --> 01:10:39.970 Not only would it be Vicarius Filii Dei that would add up to 666, but his other 01:10:39.970 --> 01:10:40.890 titles as well. 01:10:41.950 --> 01:10:46.410 Latinus, which is the Latin speaking man, adds up to 666. 01:10:47.490 --> 01:10:53.670 Helena Basile, which means the Latin kingdom, it adds up to 666. 01:10:54.110 --> 01:10:56.630 There are many that add up to 666. 01:10:59.550 --> 01:11:04.870 I gave you in the beginning 21 biblical characteristics on how to identify the 01:11:04.870 --> 01:11:05.450 Antichrist. 01:11:06.610 --> 01:11:10.410 We've had a look at every single one of them, and in the very first one, 01:11:10.490 --> 01:11:12.550 George Bush, Al Qaeda, all of them were removed. 01:11:13.450 --> 01:11:17.570 We've run through and there's only one power in the world that fulfills all 21. 01:11:18.530 --> 01:11:21.210 It is the Roman Catholic power. 01:11:23.550 --> 01:11:29.310 The problem is that there's a core deception underneath this guise which he 01:11:29.310 --> 01:11:30.850 presents today in the world. 01:11:31.690 --> 01:11:34.530 And this core deception comes from scripture. 01:11:35.870 --> 01:11:41.810 Just as I did when I was in the New Age, use the biblical information to project 01:11:41.810 --> 01:11:46.590 lies into the world, so Satan is using biblical information to project lies into 01:11:46.590 --> 01:11:47.010 the world. 01:11:47.270 --> 01:11:48.670 Satan found a loophole. 01:11:49.170 --> 01:11:53.110 Remember we read there that the laity, the people on the ground, weren't allowed 01:11:53.110 --> 01:11:55.130 to have or read the New or the Old Testament? 01:11:56.070 --> 01:11:59.850 Well, because people didn't understand or weren't able to read the New or the Old 01:11:59.850 --> 01:12:05.710 Testament, and all their sermons and their ceremonies were in Latin, when they quoted 01:12:05.710 --> 01:12:10.870 Mark 16, they quoted it slightly off the cuff. 01:12:11.330 --> 01:12:11.830 Read with me. 01:12:12.110 --> 01:12:14.750 Mark 16, 13 to 17 and 19. 01:12:15.430 --> 01:12:19.150 Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disciples 01:12:19.150 --> 01:12:22.750 saying, whom do you men say that I, the Son of Man, am? 01:12:22.850 --> 01:12:27.770 And they said, some say that thou art John the Baptist, some Elias, and others 01:12:27.770 --> 01:12:30.330 Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 01:12:31.110 --> 01:12:33.910 And he said unto them, but whom do you say that I am? 01:12:34.770 --> 01:12:40.570 And here Simon Peter answers Jesus Christ, and he says, Thou art the Christ, 01:12:40.670 --> 01:12:41.730 the Son of the living God. 01:12:41.810 --> 01:12:45.550 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, 01:12:45.590 --> 01:12:48.790 for flesh and blood is not revealed unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 01:12:49.330 --> 01:12:52.870 And I say also unto thee that thou art Peter, upon this rock I will build my 01:12:52.870 --> 01:12:53.230 church. 01:12:55.270 --> 01:13:01.330 What has happened here is that an interpretation has been given that Jesus 01:13:01.330 --> 01:13:05.330 Christ identifies Peter as the rock and upon the rock he will build his church. 01:13:06.290 --> 01:13:09.550 But we have to ask ourselves the question, how big is a rock in the Bible? 01:13:10.710 --> 01:13:15.790 Well, Judges 15 tells us that 3,000 men of Judah went on top of the rock. 01:13:16.890 --> 01:13:23.290 Judges 20, 47 says that 600 men turned and fled and abode, lived in the rock of Ramon 01:13:23.290 --> 01:13:23.870 for four months. 01:13:23.970 --> 01:13:25.570 A rock in the Bible is a mountain. 01:13:26.970 --> 01:13:32.650 But when you do a search in the Bible, you find the term or the word rock 119 01:13:32.650 --> 01:13:33.690 times. 01:13:33.930 --> 01:13:37.910 Every time when referring to a person, it's referring to God. 01:13:39.790 --> 01:13:43.310 So when it says, who is the rock of the Bible? 01:13:44.510 --> 01:13:48.030 No prophecy of scripture being of any private interpretation. 01:13:48.330 --> 01:13:50.770 We have to say, who is the rock of the Bible? 01:13:51.050 --> 01:13:57.050 Please tell us and according to Deuteronomy 32, 3 and 4, 2 Samuel 22, 01:13:57.350 --> 01:14:02.270 2 Samuel 22, 3 and 4, 2 Samuel 32, Psalms 18 verse 2, 1 Corinthians 10 verse 01:14:02.270 --> 01:14:04.930 4, all of them say that Jesus Christ is the rock. 01:14:05.770 --> 01:14:11.210 But today, the catechism of the Catholic Church number 85 says, the task of giving 01:14:11.210 --> 01:14:15.330 an authentic interpretation of the word of God, whether it is in its written form or 01:14:15.330 --> 01:14:18.590 in the form of tradition, has been entrusted to the living and teaching 01:14:18.590 --> 01:14:19.790 office of the Church alone. 01:14:20.330 --> 01:14:22.430 So we will interpret scripture. 01:14:22.970 --> 01:14:28.690 They then release a Catholic Good News Bible, which now says in Matthew 16 verse 01:14:28.690 --> 01:14:34.590 18, I tell you Peter, you are a rock and upon this rock foundation I will build my 01:14:34.590 --> 01:14:34.910 church. 01:14:35.970 --> 01:14:37.370 See, that's not accurate. 01:14:38.970 --> 01:14:45.170 The truth behind it is that that thou art Peter, upon this rock I will build my 01:14:45.170 --> 01:14:45.530 church. 01:14:45.790 --> 01:14:51.110 In the original interpretation, Peter is Petrosh. 01:14:51.570 --> 01:14:56.350 That's a little pebble, a little piece of rock, a little rolling stone, a river 01:14:56.350 --> 01:14:56.790 pebble. 01:14:57.450 --> 01:15:01.470 The word rock is Petra in the original Greek. 01:15:02.170 --> 01:15:07.350 And the sentence says, as thou art a little rolling stone and a pebble 01:15:07.350 --> 01:15:12.570 signifying some of the characteristics of the rock, even though you are one of the 01:15:12.570 --> 01:15:17.250 strongest apostles of all time, even though that's the case, you are a 01:15:17.250 --> 01:15:22.790 little rolling stone, upon the rock, the Petra, I will build my church. 01:15:22.790 --> 01:15:24.990 And who's the Petra in the rest of the Bible? 01:15:25.390 --> 01:15:26.230 Jesus Christ. 01:15:27.250 --> 01:15:32.610 So today, we get images like this where Benedict is reaffirming, constantly 01:15:32.610 --> 01:15:34.370 reaffirming the authority. 01:15:34.690 --> 01:15:39.970 He says in Catholic Online, he says, Jesus made St. Peter the rock. 01:15:40.270 --> 01:15:41.110 Well, that's not true. 01:15:42.150 --> 01:15:46.090 Peter the rock, this is brand new, June 7, 2006. 01:15:46.590 --> 01:15:49.730 The three metaphors to which Jesus takes recourse are very clear. 01:15:50.050 --> 01:15:51.010 Peter will be the rock. 01:15:51.410 --> 01:15:52.970 Number two, he will have the keys. 01:15:53.130 --> 01:15:55.330 And number three, he will be able to bind or loose. 01:15:55.390 --> 01:15:57.990 In other words, he's got the ability to forgive your sins. 01:15:58.390 --> 01:16:00.210 Well, that's not actually biblical. 01:16:00.870 --> 01:16:06.490 For all times, Benedict says, Peter must be the custodian of the communion with 01:16:06.490 --> 01:16:06.930 Christ. 01:16:07.890 --> 01:16:14.010 That's the marketing that they put out to the public, the people on the ground. 01:16:14.670 --> 01:16:17.790 But this is a beast that speaks out of both sides of the mouth. 01:16:18.470 --> 01:16:21.690 Vickers of Christ, De Rosa, page 206, says the following. 01:16:22.510 --> 01:16:26.910 They've just said that there's a Patrine office that takes control. 01:16:27.330 --> 01:16:28.110 Read this with me. 01:16:28.830 --> 01:16:33.630 Not a single father can find any hint of a Patrine office in the great biblical texts 01:16:33.630 --> 01:16:34.570 that refer to Peter. 01:16:35.390 --> 01:16:39.190 Papal supremacy and infallibility, so central to the Catholic Church today, 01:16:39.450 --> 01:16:41.710 are simply not mentioned. 01:16:42.010 --> 01:16:45.430 Not a single creed, nor confession of faith, nor catechism, nor passage in 01:16:45.430 --> 01:16:48.510 patristic writings contains one syllable about the Pope. 01:16:48.930 --> 01:16:52.810 It's still less about faith and the doctrine being derived from him. 01:16:53.490 --> 01:16:58.230 This is a beast that understands that they know what they're doing, but yet the 01:16:58.230 --> 01:17:03.730 entire Antichrist deception hangs on one tiny little hook. 01:17:04.390 --> 01:17:05.890 Matthew 16, verse 18. 01:17:06.170 --> 01:17:12.050 I tell you, this is from the Good News Bible, I tell you, Peter, you are a rock, 01:17:12.110 --> 01:17:14.550 and upon this rock foundation I will build my church. 01:17:15.370 --> 01:17:21.210 And through this revelation 12.9 says, and Satan deceives the whole world. 01:17:22.690 --> 01:17:24.410 This is a shocking revelation. 01:17:26.450 --> 01:17:29.410 There is no way for me to soften this information. 01:17:30.050 --> 01:17:38.470 I cannot be affected, or allow myself to be affected by what do my emotions tell me 01:17:38.470 --> 01:17:39.030 about this. 01:17:39.730 --> 01:17:45.410 I was deceived my entire life about this until somebody had the guts to come and 01:17:45.410 --> 01:17:47.990 tell me, well, this is actually what the Bible says. 01:17:48.890 --> 01:17:50.570 This is a shocking revelation. 01:17:51.590 --> 01:17:57.810 But please understand, God loves every person, but he hates some of the systems. 01:17:58.950 --> 01:18:04.570 Just like we heard about the seals, and when we spoke about Christ from 01:18:04.570 --> 01:18:08.710 Ephesus, the church of Ephesus, from the beginning when Christ was here to 01:18:08.710 --> 01:18:16.230 100, where Jesus said that I also hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, he also says 01:18:16.230 --> 01:18:24.190 in Revelation 18, verse 4, come out of her my people, that you are not a partaker of 01:18:24.190 --> 01:18:26.110 her sins, and you receive not of her plagues. 01:18:26.970 --> 01:18:31.910 This is a call where Jesus loves you as an individual, but hates the systems in which 01:18:31.910 --> 01:18:33.010 we might find ourselves. 01:18:34.850 --> 01:18:42.170 Take this understanding, chew on it, and realize that God might be calling you 01:18:42.170 --> 01:18:45.010 out of a false system of worship. 01:18:46.270 --> 01:18:50.930 From here onwards, we are going to get into even more serious information. 01:18:51.670 --> 01:18:54.410 The next lecture being the seat of the dragon. 01:18:55.450 --> 01:18:58.430 I hope you'll come back and join me for the next lecture. 01:18:58.710 --> 01:18:58.870 Thank you.
