WEBVTT 00:26.960 --> 00:27.920 Good morning. 00:28.160 --> 00:29.760 Welcome to Inquisition Update. 00:29.960 --> 00:32.720 My name is Tom Friess, and I'll be your host for the next hour. 00:33.220 --> 00:35.800 You're listening to FirstAmendmentRadio .com. 00:35.900 --> 00:37.160 Thanks for tuning in, everybody. 00:37.860 --> 00:39.620 I hope you were with us yesterday. 00:39.820 --> 00:44.640 We began the reading of a new book here on Inquisition Update, A Woman Rides a Beast, 00:44.780 --> 00:46.080 by Dave Hunt. 00:47.360 --> 00:54.740 A very important book, and I proceed with this book with the caution that Dave Hunt 00:54.740 --> 01:00.460 was a futurist, and to what extent he believed in futurism, we'll see as we 01:00.460 --> 01:01.580 discuss this book. 01:02.460 --> 01:09.380 But nonetheless, the book contains vast amounts of critical information for God's 01:09.380 --> 01:16.840 people today, and I decided to read this book despite Dave's futurism, and I will 01:16.840 --> 01:22.740 refute it as we go along, meaning no disrespect either to Dave Hunt or the 01:22.740 --> 01:23.820 publisher of this book. 01:24.920 --> 01:30.100 And I hope my listeners will gain a more thorough understanding of the 01:30.100 --> 01:35.600 Vatican-Jesuit-led New World Order, which Dave Hunt clearly recognized. 01:36.780 --> 01:43.020 Now, yesterday we began with sort of a prelude to the book, and we were talking 01:43.020 --> 01:48.940 about evangelicals and Catholics together, this organization, this ecumenical 01:48.940 --> 01:54.780 organization that cropped up after Vatican Council II, setting the guidelines for the 01:54.780 --> 02:00.040 relationships between evangelicals and Catholics, between the evangelical 02:00.040 --> 02:02.340 churches and the Roman Catholic Church. 02:02.340 --> 02:10.980 And first order of business was a prohibition set forth against the 02:10.980 --> 02:19.120 evangelical churches, against what is called sheep-stealing, discouraging 02:19.120 --> 02:24.380 Protestant churches, or evangelical churches rather, and I make a distinction, 02:25.220 --> 02:30.320 a Protestant church recognizes that the Pope, the Papacy is the Antichrist, 02:30.320 --> 02:34.960 that the Roman Catholic Church is the synagogue of Satan, and the evangelical 02:34.960 --> 02:40.740 churches are ecumenical, and they believe that the Roman Catholic Church too is a 02:40.740 --> 02:45.560 Christian organization, the Pope is a Christian and the spiritual leader of the 02:45.560 --> 02:51.180 world, and they are hoping to gain an ecumenical reunion with the Roman Catholic 02:51.180 --> 02:52.440 Church on some level. 02:53.340 --> 03:02.980 Now, of course the Roman Catholic Church, being that church, that one holy Roman 03:02.980 --> 03:07.800 Catholic and apostolic church, outside of which there is no salvation, 03:08.300 --> 03:12.620 doesn't want evangelical churches, Protestant churches, or any other 03:12.620 --> 03:15.400 churches, stealing their sheep. 03:16.580 --> 03:19.280 But Rome speaks with a forked tongue. 03:20.740 --> 03:26.700 Rome says, you may not steal our sheep, but we must steal your sheep. 03:27.740 --> 03:32.660 Now this is consistent with the bull, the papal bull by Pope Boniface VIII, 03:32.800 --> 03:39.380 Unum Sanctum, wherein it is said, it is absolutely necessary that all human 03:39.380 --> 03:42.100 beings be subject to the Roman Pontiff. 03:43.180 --> 03:49.460 Okay, so clearly this quote that we concluded with yesterday by this so-called 03:49.460 --> 03:58.120 father, Father Tom Forrest, clearly outlines the definition of evangelization 03:58.120 --> 03:59.660 by the Roman Catholic Church. 04:00.740 --> 04:05.840 You may not steal our sheep, but we must and will steal your sheep. 04:06.840 --> 04:13.800 So, that's where we left off yesterday, and concluding with the last paragraph we 04:13.800 --> 04:20.740 read yesterday for continuity purposes, Dave Hunt says, yet in spite of such clear 04:20.740 --> 04:27.320 explanations of Roman Catholic quote-unquote evangelism, evangelicals are 04:27.320 --> 04:31.240 participating with Catholics in joint evangelistic efforts. 04:31.240 --> 04:35.300 In other words, they're all getting together to make everybody Catholic. 04:36.940 --> 04:41.140 Okay, the evangelicals are not sheep stealing from the Roman Catholic fold, 04:41.580 --> 04:45.240 but they are working together with Catholics to quote-unquote evangelize, 04:45.940 --> 04:50.100 which means to make their converts Roman Catholic. 04:51.800 --> 04:58.740 And he says, for the Catholic, now here's the rub, here's the rub. 04:59.620 --> 05:05.220 For the Catholic, salvation does not come through personally receiving Christ as 05:05.220 --> 05:12.020 Savior, but is a lengthy process that begins with baptism, and thereafter 05:12.020 --> 05:16.680 depends upon one's continued relationship to the Roman Catholic Church. 05:17.800 --> 05:21.720 Salvation comes through participation in the Roman Catholic sacraments, 05:22.300 --> 05:28.240 penance, good works, suffering for one's sins and the sins of others here and in 05:28.240 --> 05:34.660 purgatory, indulgences to reduce the time in purgatory, and almost endless masses 05:34.660 --> 05:38.860 and rosaries to be said on one's behalf, even after one's death. 05:40.200 --> 05:44.220 Catholic quote-unquote evangelism is by works. 05:44.220 --> 05:51.460 The very antithesis of the gospel of grace of God, Acts chapter 20 verse 24. 05:52.680 --> 05:57.020 There's one Bible verse that the Roman Catholic Church simply does not 05:57.020 --> 06:04.000 understand, that salvation is a gift, not of works, lest any man or any pope or 06:04.000 --> 06:07.380 any church, any Roman Catholic Church could boast. 06:08.280 --> 06:12.420 Now, clearly already my listeners, if they've been paying attention, 06:12.420 --> 06:17.820 know that there is a diabolical, there is a diabolical spirit in this 06:17.820 --> 06:18.960 ecumenical movement. 06:19.960 --> 06:24.820 And he says, nevertheless, many Catholics, when they hear the true biblical gospel of 06:24.820 --> 06:29.160 God's grace, are receiving Christ as personal Savior. 06:29.880 --> 06:32.840 Remember God said, my word will not return unto me void? 06:33.080 --> 06:38.060 When Roman Catholics, for the first time, just as the Protestant Reformers, 06:38.060 --> 06:43.200 read the Bible for themselves for the first time and read it for what it says, 06:43.320 --> 06:47.920 and not what the church teaches about it, they receive Jesus Christ as their 06:47.920 --> 06:48.920 personal Savior. 06:49.860 --> 06:51.100 That's not sheep stealing. 06:51.780 --> 06:52.760 That's salvation. 06:54.340 --> 06:59.560 So the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Bible, is the worst enemy of the Roman 06:59.560 --> 07:04.940 Catholic Church because it converts Roman Catholicism, it converts Roman Catholics 07:04.940 --> 07:06.980 to the kingdom of Christ. 07:07.840 --> 07:10.320 Salvation finally comes to the Roman Catholic. 07:10.880 --> 07:16.640 He realizes he no longer needs penances, he no longer needs to confess his sins to 07:16.640 --> 07:21.760 a priest, he no longer needs indulgences, there's no such thing as purgatory, 07:22.340 --> 07:24.780 no such thing as masses for the dead. 07:25.780 --> 07:29.260 Roman Catholicism crumbles even upon its own foundation. 07:30.140 --> 07:36.020 That's how to evangelize Roman Catholics and to evangelize evangelicals. 07:36.020 --> 07:39.880 Give them the gospel of Jesus Christ, and what do you get? 07:40.380 --> 07:41.180 A Protestant. 07:42.180 --> 07:46.220 He says, such Catholic Christians eventually struggle with the conflict 07:46.220 --> 07:51.840 between Roman Catholicism and what they now realize, as the Bible teaches, 07:52.580 --> 07:58.100 a conflict so marked that the vast majority find it impossible to remain in 07:58.100 --> 07:59.220 the Roman Catholic Church. 07:59.220 --> 08:04.880 Many Protestants are equally in doubt over the question of what their relationship to 08:04.880 --> 08:06.100 Catholics ought to be. 08:06.900 --> 08:10.920 Confusion now surrounds the issues which were involved at the Protestant 08:10.920 --> 08:11.560 Reformation. 08:12.420 --> 08:17.140 The purpose of this book, the purpose of this book is to present vital, 08:17.860 --> 08:23.220 factual information which throws essential light upon the whole question of 08:23.220 --> 08:25.220 Catholic-Protestant relationships. 08:25.220 --> 08:32.120 The vast majority of both Roman Catholics and Protestants are ignorant of the 08:32.120 --> 08:32.940 pertinent facts. 08:33.080 --> 08:35.360 And I couldn't agree with that more. 08:35.940 --> 08:42.360 He says, the vast majority of both Roman Catholics and Protestants are ignorant of 08:42.360 --> 08:43.660 the pertinent facts. 08:44.580 --> 08:48.280 And that's why Inquisition Update exists. 08:48.840 --> 08:54.260 To bring the pertinent facts to both Protestants and Catholics. 08:54.260 --> 08:59.760 Now, it is our hope and prayer that the following pages will help to clarify the 08:59.760 --> 09:02.180 issues and dispel the confusion. 09:03.080 --> 09:08.160 Now, this is the beginning of chapter 1 of the book. 09:08.980 --> 09:12.020 A Woman Rides the Beast is the title of it. 09:12.720 --> 09:19.020 And he begins by giving us a passage from the book of Revelation chapter 17, 09:19.340 --> 09:21.560 this being particularly verse 3. 09:22.550 --> 09:25.400 He carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness. 09:25.960 --> 09:30.840 And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of 09:30.840 --> 09:34.280 blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 09:35.460 --> 09:39.760 That is a description of the Roman Catholic Church. 09:40.480 --> 09:44.420 The woman seated upon a scarlet-colored beast. 09:44.940 --> 09:47.980 The beast representing the governments of the world. 09:48.460 --> 09:49.460 The civil power. 09:49.460 --> 09:53.000 The woman represents the Roman Catholic Church. 09:53.220 --> 09:56.320 And the beast represents the governments of the world. 09:56.980 --> 10:00.040 It's a global union of church and state. 10:00.420 --> 10:03.940 The Roman Catholic Church and the governments of the world. 10:04.780 --> 10:07.940 That's the New World Order in one single picture. 10:08.900 --> 10:13.980 Now, Dave Hunt begins by saying the most astounding prophecies in the Bible are 10:13.980 --> 10:18.180 found in the last book known as the Revelation or the Apocalypse. 10:18.180 --> 10:22.020 And recorded by the Apostle John in A.D. 10:22.140 --> 10:22.780 95. 10:23.840 --> 10:28.120 He claimed to have received from the resurrected Christ himself this series of 10:28.120 --> 10:33.320 visions of God's final judgment upon mankind which would close human history. 10:34.180 --> 10:39.040 This, the Bible's last and most awesome panoramic view into the future, 10:39.760 --> 10:42.640 embodies revelations of climactic events. 10:42.640 --> 10:50.700 Some already fulfilled, most still future, but all both incredible and terrifying. 10:52.160 --> 10:59.320 Of all the glimpses of, quote, things which must shortly come to pass, 10:59.460 --> 11:06.140 see Revelation chapter 1 verse 1, which John reveals, none is as intriguing 11:06.140 --> 11:10.800 and staggering as the vision recorded by John in chapter 17. 11:11.500 --> 11:16.860 There we see a fearsome scarlet-colored beast with seven heads and ten horns. 11:17.800 --> 11:20.960 This is not the first time it has appeared to biblical prophets. 11:21.800 --> 11:27.300 From the description, it is obviously the same terrifying creature whose description 11:27.300 --> 11:30.120 has already been recorded three times. 11:31.100 --> 11:33.200 John himself had seen it twice. 11:34.020 --> 11:37.520 Daniel, the prophet, saw it as well 600 years earlier. 11:38.300 --> 11:42.180 But in this last glimpse, suddenly, something has changed. 11:43.020 --> 11:47.660 In its previous appearance in scripture, the beast has always been the total focus 11:47.660 --> 11:51.240 of attention and invariably presented alone. 11:52.180 --> 11:56.000 Now, however, it appears with a rider on its back. 11:56.400 --> 12:02.600 That anyone would dare, much less be able, to mount such an incredible beast seems 12:02.600 --> 12:03.960 beyond imagination. 12:04.960 --> 12:11.880 Yet there she sits, quite at ease and obviously in control, astride a 12:11.880 --> 12:16.140 world-devouring creature defying description. 12:17.080 --> 12:17.460 She? 12:17.980 --> 12:19.220 Yes, she. 12:20.020 --> 12:21.940 A woman rides the beast. 12:22.200 --> 12:23.700 Stand by for a moment. 12:24.940 --> 12:26.100 Yes, she. 12:26.660 --> 12:28.880 A woman rides the beast. 12:29.880 --> 12:37.540 For 1900 years, the beast itself has been a major focus of attention for students of 12:37.540 --> 12:38.420 Bible prophecy. 12:39.380 --> 12:40.260 Its identity, 12:44.040 --> 12:50.000 the frightening role it will play in the last days, and its ultimate end have been 12:50.000 --> 12:52.080 debated through the centuries. 12:52.840 --> 12:58.280 In the last 200 years, however, many evangelical Christians have held to a 12:58.280 --> 12:59.640 fairly clear consensus. 13:00.760 --> 13:05.460 The beast represents both the revived Roman Empire, Satan's worldwide 13:05.460 --> 13:11.180 counterfeit of God's kingdom, and the satanically empowered Antichrist who will 13:11.180 --> 13:11.700 rule it. 13:12.320 --> 13:16.520 Whether that interpretation is correct or not will become apparent in the following 13:16.520 --> 13:17.040 pages. 13:18.060 --> 13:20.520 A woman who cannot be ignored. 13:20.520 --> 13:25.620 The woman is a far more enigmatic figure compared to the beast. 13:26.400 --> 13:30.260 The leaders of the Protestant Reformation were absolutely certain that she 13:30.260 --> 13:35.680 represented the Roman Catholic Church in general, and the Pope in particular. 13:36.460 --> 13:42.120 That belief, however, has been rejected lately by most Protestants as provocative 13:42.120 --> 13:49.660 and demeaning to a body of quote-unquote fellow Christians, with whom evangelicals 13:49.660 --> 13:53.780 desire to work together in the task of winning most of the world for Christ 13:53.780 --> 13:55.280 before the year 2000. 13:56.220 --> 14:02.440 In fact, the subject of the woman is generally avoided today as too divisive to 14:02.440 --> 14:03.060 discuss. 14:03.060 --> 14:06.240 And why is it too divisive to discuss? 14:07.180 --> 14:12.080 We understand that Catholics and evangelicals are wanting to get together. 14:12.400 --> 14:17.900 They don't want anybody discussing this woman and describing it as the Protestant 14:17.900 --> 14:21.260 Reformers did the Roman Catholic Church. 14:22.140 --> 14:24.820 It's foiling their ecumenical plans. 14:25.740 --> 14:27.760 Yet, it's the truth. 14:29.580 --> 14:32.320 It's ecumenism that is the error. 14:32.320 --> 14:38.020 It is Catholics and evangelicals together that is the error. 14:38.920 --> 14:42.120 Mixing the holy with the profane, that is the error. 14:43.060 --> 14:49.900 Now still, the woman so vividly portrayed by the Revelator, John, cannot be 14:49.900 --> 14:51.100 dismissed so easily. 14:52.020 --> 14:53.020 There she is. 14:53.800 --> 14:57.320 Two of the final chapters in the Bible are devoted to this woman. 14:58.020 --> 14:59.580 What will we do with her? 15:00.280 --> 15:04.160 It would be dishonest to ignore such an important prophetic figure. 15:05.100 --> 15:07.260 The entire Bible is God's Word. 15:07.360 --> 15:09.200 The entire Bible is God's Word. 15:09.300 --> 15:15.180 We can't just lop off Revelation chapter 17 and 18 because they seem to describe 15:15.180 --> 15:17.180 the Roman Catholic Church as that woman. 15:18.060 --> 15:20.300 We must take the Bible for what it is. 15:20.740 --> 15:21.680 God's Word. 15:22.320 --> 15:25.840 We must not add to it nor take anything away from it. 15:25.840 --> 15:32.220 If we seek to desire to know the truth, then we must deal with Revelation chapter 15:32.220 --> 15:36.720 17 and 18 precisely the way the Protestant Reformers did. 15:37.120 --> 15:40.460 We must look at it face to face and deal with it. 15:40.800 --> 15:43.400 And acknowledge the truth that is in it. 15:44.340 --> 15:46.160 And act accordingly. 15:47.000 --> 15:49.040 Which the Protestant Reformers did. 15:49.820 --> 15:53.440 They left the Roman Catholic Church and they liberated all of Europe. 15:53.440 --> 15:59.780 And even the influence of the Protestant Reformation dominated the founding of this 15:59.780 --> 16:00.260 country. 16:01.000 --> 16:05.040 Shall we repudiate all of that because of Vatican Council too? 16:05.900 --> 16:11.880 Shall we call the Protestant Reformation an error because Christians today wish to 16:11.880 --> 16:18.220 believe, despite all the evidence of history and prophecy, that this woman is 16:18.220 --> 16:19.520 the Roman Catholic Church? 16:21.880 --> 16:23.880 What will we do with her? 16:24.800 --> 16:28.700 It would be dishonest to ignore such an important prophetic figure. 16:29.660 --> 16:31.800 The entire Bible is God's Word. 16:31.940 --> 16:38.600 We have no right to close our eyes to Revelation chapter 17 and 18 than to John 16:38.600 --> 16:40.480 chapter 3 verse 16. 16:42.280 --> 16:47.080 Unquestionably, the woman is the central figure in these two important chapters. 16:47.660 --> 16:50.760 A major player in the drama of the last days. 16:51.820 --> 16:56.500 John gives far more attention to her than to the beast she rides. 16:57.300 --> 17:01.840 And the fact that she rides the beast, a beast of such importance that it 17:01.840 --> 17:06.980 literally holds the central position in Bible prophecy, demands our special 17:06.980 --> 17:07.440 attention. 17:07.440 --> 17:12.480 It could not be clearer that the secret of this woman's identity and the role she 17:12.480 --> 17:17.700 will play is a major key to understanding Bible prophecies concerning the reign of 17:17.700 --> 17:21.440 Antichrist and events leading up to Christ's second coming. 17:23.080 --> 17:26.180 The most stunning prophecy in the Bible. 17:27.480 --> 17:31.520 In the following pages we will show that the woman's identity is established 17:31.520 --> 17:36.940 meticulously and yet beyond any reasonable doubt by John himself. 17:36.940 --> 17:41.980 We will see that the vision of the woman is one of the most remarkable and 17:41.980 --> 17:43.840 significant prophecies in Scripture. 17:45.200 --> 17:50.880 The insights of John was given by the Holy Spirit concerning this woman staggered 17:50.880 --> 17:51.100 him. 17:52.340 --> 17:57.140 These insights are no less breathtaking in our day. 17:58.160 --> 18:03.520 Much of John's visions has already been fulfilled in history and can therefore be 18:03.520 --> 18:09.800 verified beyond question Based upon the insights John provides, our identification 18:09.800 --> 18:13.940 of the woman will be determined carefully and unequivocally. 18:14.660 --> 18:20.220 Although many readers may denounce our conclusions, no one will be able to refute 18:20.220 --> 18:20.480 them. 18:20.800 --> 18:29.140 And that has been my experience since I began this ministry on amateur radio more 18:29.140 --> 18:30.420 than a decade ago. 18:30.420 --> 18:38.120 Not one single attempt has ever been made to refute the facts as I have given them 18:38.120 --> 18:39.820 from history and prophecy. 18:40.400 --> 18:45.600 All they can do is call me nasty names and try to destroy my life. 18:46.500 --> 18:48.800 They can't refute a single one. 18:50.320 --> 18:55.080 Now the truth about the woman astride this beast is one of the most stunning 18:55.080 --> 18:56.440 prophecies in Scripture. 18:56.440 --> 19:04.620 We say specifically, quote, in Scripture, unquote, because significant prophecies 19:04.620 --> 19:10.480 which have been on record for centuries and were later fulfilled are unique to the 19:10.480 --> 19:10.820 Bible. 19:11.640 --> 19:17.480 These are not cheap guesses by psychics, but involve major world events of sweeping 19:17.480 --> 19:21.000 importance and irrefutable historic record. 19:21.900 --> 19:28.220 The vision of the woman riding the beast, as we shall see, provides insights into 19:28.220 --> 19:32.660 occurrences which have shaped world history in the past, and which will 19:32.660 --> 19:36.040 profoundly determine human destiny in the future. 19:37.300 --> 19:42.440 She sits, in fact, not only astride the beast, but upon the culmination of 19:42.440 --> 19:45.400 centuries of related Bible prophecy. 19:47.340 --> 19:49.540 A question of credibility. 19:51.080 --> 19:54.880 Are we simply sensationalizing John's vision? 19:56.100 --> 19:59.100 Why should anyone today be concerned with its interpretation? 20:00.320 --> 20:03.900 The question of validity can be settled quite easily. 20:05.160 --> 20:08.120 Most prophecies in the Bible have already been fulfilled. 20:09.040 --> 20:13.380 It is therefore a rather simple and straightforward matter to examine that 20:13.380 --> 20:13.820 record. 20:14.540 --> 20:19.120 For the sake of any doubters, and to strengthen the faith of those who already 20:19.120 --> 20:24.160 believe, we must take a brief excursion into the amazing world of biblical 20:24.160 --> 20:24.760 prophecy. 20:25.680 --> 20:32.160 We will prove that past prophecies have been impeccably accurate, and that their 20:32.160 --> 20:35.320 fulfillment could not be explained by chance. 20:36.380 --> 20:40.740 That evidence will assure us that we are not wasting our time by examining 20:40.740 --> 20:42.580 prophecies concerning the future. 20:42.580 --> 20:48.460 And the woman on the beast does indeed have much to tell us about the future. 20:49.340 --> 20:54.520 That goal accomplished, we will turn our attention to Revelation chapter 17 and 18, 20:54.980 --> 20:59.680 and address the question of the identity and future role of the woman riding the 20:59.680 --> 21:00.040 beast. 21:00.660 --> 21:05.000 Confident that the vision will be fulfilled exactly as John reveals it. 21:05.980 --> 21:09.880 Much of the information we will present will not make pleasant reading. 21:09.880 --> 21:19.620 Disturbing, stretching the reader's credulity, denied by many, it will 21:19.620 --> 21:23.100 nevertheless be the fully documented truth. 21:24.180 --> 21:29.520 Moreover, it is a truth which every person on planet earth, and especially all who 21:29.520 --> 21:33.540 consider themselves to be Christians, and most of all Roman Catholics, 21:34.140 --> 21:36.140 need desperately to understand. 21:36.940 --> 21:42.900 Our sympathy is particularly with sincere Roman Catholics who have such confidence 21:42.900 --> 21:48.180 in their church that they have accepted what the hierarchy has told them without 21:48.180 --> 21:50.940 studying history to learn the full truth. 21:51.980 --> 21:56.300 It is our hope and prayer that the historic facts we present will be 21:56.300 --> 22:01.660 thoroughly checked against the record, so that many devout followers of Rome will 22:01.660 --> 22:03.500 be able to face the evidence. 22:04.500 --> 22:09.320 And this information is just as important for Protestants today. 22:09.980 --> 22:14.740 Protestants who have renounced their former name and now wish to be called 22:14.740 --> 22:24.440 ecumenical evangelicals, who seek peace and unity with that which Paul and which 22:24.440 --> 22:27.360 John the Revelator called Antichrist. 22:32.120 --> 22:37.520 Now, beginning chapter 2, begins with a quote from the book of Isaiah, 22:37.640 --> 22:39.760 chapter 46, verses 9 and 10. 22:40.960 --> 22:45.580 Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else, 22:46.400 --> 22:51.160 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not 22:51.160 --> 22:56.880 yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure. 22:58.340 --> 23:01.600 Chapter 2 is entitled, Reason to Believe. 23:03.260 --> 23:07.220 Biblical prophecy is the key to understanding both the past and the 23:07.220 --> 23:07.600 future. 23:08.780 --> 23:13.900 While to skeptics that may seem a preposterous claim, it is easily proved. 23:14.960 --> 23:19.900 Because most Bible prophecy recorded in Scripture has already been fulfilled, 23:20.300 --> 23:24.400 it is therefore a simple matter to determine whether or not the prophecies in 23:24.400 --> 23:25.840 the Bible are reliable. 23:25.840 --> 23:32.120 All we have to do is compare the prophecies with recorded history, 23:32.780 --> 23:35.360 and there we will find its fulfillment. 23:36.000 --> 23:41.380 And from that knowledge gained, we can clearly see what God is talking 23:41.380 --> 23:44.940 about in the future fulfillment of Bible prophecy. 23:45.460 --> 23:48.740 With that, we'll take a break and we'll be back right after this. 23:49.120 --> 23:52.240

27:12.370 --> 27:12.610 Hunt. 27:13.470 --> 27:18.110 I'm going to warn you that chapter two brings up an issue that I have with Dave 27:18.110 --> 27:19.270 Hunt's futurism. 27:19.270 --> 27:22.950 And his focus on the modern nation state of Israel. 27:23.490 --> 27:27.310 And before I even begin my contention with Dave Hunt. 27:27.470 --> 27:29.730 And I knew there was something wrong. 27:30.670 --> 27:35.150 The world was focused on Israel and Jerusalem. 27:35.450 --> 27:41.910 Just like the Bible said that Israel would become a burdensome stone. 27:42.230 --> 27:45.610 And I knew that there had to be something wrong. 27:45.610 --> 27:54.030 And that book opened my eyes and my heart to understand who Israel is. 27:54.170 --> 27:55.490 What is Israel? 27:57.010 --> 27:58.950 Israel is no longer the Jews. 27:59.170 --> 28:05.950 Israel is no longer a postage stamp piece of land on the eastern end of the 28:05.950 --> 28:06.550 Mediterranean. 28:06.910 --> 28:09.250 Israel is the kingdom of Christ. 28:10.090 --> 28:15.810 And there is now no difference between Jew and Greek. 28:16.410 --> 28:18.990 We are all one in Christ Jesus. 28:20.270 --> 28:26.650 The Israel spoken of in the Bible is those of the faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 28:27.190 --> 28:31.590 Those who are of the faith are counted as Abraham's seed. 28:32.850 --> 28:37.850 The baton has been passed from the Jews to all of us. 28:37.950 --> 28:43.030 Who believe and trust and obey Jesus Christ the Messiah. 28:44.710 --> 28:50.290 And no book brings out the details of the transition of the meaning of Israel. 28:50.490 --> 28:55.390 From the Jews and the land of Israel to God's kingdom. 28:55.390 --> 29:01.710 More so than that book, Exploding the Israel Deception by Steve Wolberg. 29:01.890 --> 29:06.490 It's got to be one of the most important and enlightening books in all of my 29:06.490 --> 29:07.050 library. 29:08.150 --> 29:14.370 Again, if you can get a copy of that book, the error that Dave Hunt is about to 29:14.370 --> 29:17.570 express in his book will become readily apparent to you. 29:18.090 --> 29:24.970 And you, like me, will know the truth about who Israel is today. 29:24.970 --> 29:32.910 Now we are not talking about replacement theology as the Roman Catholic Church 29:32.910 --> 29:33.350 teaches. 29:33.970 --> 29:37.130 That the Roman Catholic Church has now replaced Israel. 29:38.010 --> 29:44.890 No, I believe in the description that God gives of Israel. 29:45.590 --> 29:49.570 His kingdom is of every people, nation and tongue. 29:49.570 --> 29:55.370 All who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ are Israel. 29:56.150 --> 30:02.730 And surely there will come a time of persecution unlike any time in history for 30:02.730 --> 30:04.270 the true Israel. 30:05.050 --> 30:09.890 Those of the faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the heirs to the 30:09.890 --> 30:10.450 promise. 30:11.530 --> 30:13.710 True Bible believing Christians. 30:14.580 --> 30:19.430 And I believe that the creation of the modern nation state of Israel was brought 30:19.430 --> 30:20.990 about by the Vatican. 30:21.990 --> 30:27.270 And to focus the world's attention back on an earthly kingdom. 30:27.730 --> 30:32.090 When we know that God's heavenly kingdom is a spiritual kingdom. 30:32.950 --> 30:34.710 It's not of this world. 30:35.320 --> 30:41.150 But now because of Rome's intention to move its seat of power to Jerusalem. 30:41.570 --> 30:48.410 And to destroy the Jews both spiritually and physically is the role of the Vatican. 30:49.270 --> 30:57.850 To re-fulfill what is described in Daniel chapter 9 verse 24 through 27. 30:58.430 --> 31:02.130 And the futurist interpretation of verse 27. 31:02.130 --> 31:07.210 And he shall cause the sacrifices and oblations to cease. 31:08.370 --> 31:14.070 A future land of Israel with Jews living in the land, building a temple and 31:14.070 --> 31:17.370 beginning animal sacrifices all over again. 31:17.450 --> 31:20.430 Is not the will of almighty God. 31:21.230 --> 31:24.010 That is not the Israel of the scriptures. 31:25.170 --> 31:30.030 But Rome wishes to have a do-over of Daniel's 70th week. 31:30.030 --> 31:35.250 That seven year period of time of Christ's ministry that was fulfilled personally by 31:35.250 --> 31:35.650 him. 31:36.610 --> 31:39.590 Perfectly and completely 2,000 years ago. 31:40.390 --> 31:44.790 Rome doesn't like the outcome of that prophecy and neither do the Jews. 31:45.830 --> 31:50.010 And they've used the futurist interpretation of that Bible prophecy. 31:50.330 --> 31:56.610 To pertain to one single figure in the future called the Antichrist according to 31:56.610 --> 31:56.930 them. 31:56.930 --> 32:01.190 And that that will usher in Christ's literal return. 32:01.670 --> 32:02.750 It's all a deception. 32:03.470 --> 32:10.250 No one brings it out more clearly than Steve Wolberg and his book, Exploding the 32:10.250 --> 32:11.290 Israel Deception. 32:11.910 --> 32:15.270 That book is an extremely valuable book. 32:15.950 --> 32:18.650 Now I'll continue what Dave Hunt says here. 32:18.750 --> 32:23.030 He says, two major themes of prophecy run consistently throughout all scripture. 32:23.910 --> 32:25.310 Number one, Israel. 32:26.010 --> 32:32.070 And number two, the Messiah who comes to Israel and through Israel to the world as 32:32.070 --> 32:33.690 the Savior of all mankind. 32:35.010 --> 32:40.170 And it says around these two central themes almost all other prophecies revolve 32:40.170 --> 32:41.330 and find their meaning. 32:41.570 --> 32:45.830 Whether it be the rapture of the church, which is not going to happen. 32:46.010 --> 32:48.850 This is another contention that I have with Dave Hunt. 32:48.850 --> 32:50.910 He believes in futurism. 32:51.730 --> 32:53.850 He believed in the rapture of the church. 32:54.670 --> 33:01.930 And these were both Jesuit creations for the purpose of forcing the world to 33:01.930 --> 33:03.090 believe the lie. 33:04.010 --> 33:08.230 That Jesus was not the fulfillment of Daniel chapter 9 verse 27. 33:09.070 --> 33:09.430 Okay? 33:10.470 --> 33:15.790 He says, whether it be the rapture of the church, Antichrist, his coming world 33:15.790 --> 33:20.970 government and religion, the battle of Armageddon, Christ's second coming, 33:21.150 --> 33:26.230 or any other prophesied occurrence, the Bible is absolutely unique in 33:26.230 --> 33:31.490 presenting these prophecies which it records in specific detail beginning more 33:31.490 --> 33:33.350 than 3,000 years ago. 33:34.850 --> 33:38.590 About 30% of the Bible is devoted to Bible prophecy. 33:39.050 --> 33:43.710 That fact validates the importance of what has become a neglected subject. 33:44.250 --> 33:51.730 In marked contrast, why has Bible prophecy become a neglected subject? 33:52.270 --> 33:58.330 Because if we study Bible prophecy and if we study history and see the fulfillment 33:58.330 --> 34:03.730 of Bible prophecy in history, we know which prophecies have been fulfilled and 34:03.730 --> 34:05.450 which are yet to be fulfilled. 34:06.030 --> 34:10.870 And if we study the Bible prophecy, particularly Daniel chapter 9 verse 24 34:10.870 --> 34:17.570 through 27, if we study the New Testament, we study history, we conclude without 34:17.570 --> 34:23.910 possibility of error that the 70th week of Daniel was perfectly and completely 34:23.910 --> 34:31.590 fulfilled by Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago and that this future phony seven years of 34:31.590 --> 34:38.030 great tribulation and the foundation of the new modern nation state of Israel is a 34:38.030 --> 34:42.670 Jesuit lie, a Vatican inspired lie. 34:43.610 --> 34:50.410 God is not turning back to deal with the world through the Jews, He's dealing with 34:50.410 --> 34:52.070 the world through Israel. 34:52.970 --> 34:59.710 All of His people, Jew and Gentile alike, that's why Bible prophecy is a neglected 34:59.710 --> 35:01.210 subject in the world today. 35:01.790 --> 35:06.690 Because those who study diligently Bible prophecy, compare it with history, 35:07.230 --> 35:10.630 can come to no other conclusion but the correct one. 35:11.430 --> 35:13.570 And all the rest of the world is deceived. 35:15.090 --> 35:20.170 He says that fact validates the importance of what has become a neglected subject. 35:20.170 --> 35:26.770 In marked contrast, prophecy is completely absent from the Koran, the Hindu Veda, 35:27.410 --> 35:35.650 the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, pardon me if you will for the 35:35.650 --> 35:40.150 pronunciation of these so-called holy books of the pagan nations of the world, 35:40.490 --> 35:44.090 I've never read them, some of these I've never even heard reference made to, 35:44.810 --> 35:50.330 but Dave Hunt makes a perfect illustration. 35:51.310 --> 35:56.750 The Bible is the only book on the planet that foretells the future. 35:57.610 --> 36:03.690 That distinguishes the Bible from every other false religious book. 36:04.390 --> 36:08.490 It's what marks it as God's holy eternal word. 36:08.490 --> 36:15.110 It proves that the God of the Bible is the God of gods, the only God. 36:15.890 --> 36:22.710 It's what makes the Bible the word of God, the authentic word of God, is the 36:22.710 --> 36:28.210 foretelling of the future with 100% accuracy. 36:29.170 --> 36:35.350 He says in marked contrast, prophecy is completely absent from the Koran, 36:35.490 --> 36:44.370 the Hindu Vedas, the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, the sayings of Buddha or 36:44.370 --> 36:49.650 Confucius, the Book of Mormon, or any other writings of world religions. 36:50.530 --> 36:55.770 This fact alone provides an undeniable stamp of divine approval upon the 36:55.770 --> 36:57.530 Judeo-Christian faith. 36:58.170 --> 37:01.450 Now here's another contention that I have with Dave Hunt. 37:02.450 --> 37:08.750 Judaism is a mixture of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with the 37:08.750 --> 37:10.010 Babylonian Talmud. 37:10.710 --> 37:16.910 That was the error that Jesus contended with when he walked the streets of 37:16.910 --> 37:17.470 Jerusalem. 37:17.870 --> 37:19.510 The corruption of the faith. 37:20.290 --> 37:24.790 I do not describe myself as a Judeo-Christian, and neither should have 37:24.790 --> 37:25.250 David. 37:26.070 --> 37:29.010 Dave Hunt was not a Judeo-Christian. 37:29.010 --> 37:34.510 He'd just been indoctrinated with that nonsense. 37:35.530 --> 37:41.950 The roots of our faith are not in Babylon as it is in the Judeo-Christian faith. 37:42.670 --> 37:46.850 The roots of our faith are in Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 37:47.750 --> 37:50.590 I don't describe myself as a Judeo-Christian. 37:51.310 --> 37:55.250 That belongs with those who mix the holy with the profane. 37:55.250 --> 38:00.370 That mixed Babylonianism with the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 38:01.830 --> 38:08.090 Again, he says, this fact alone provides an undeniable stamp of divine approval 38:08.090 --> 38:10.070 upon the Judeo-Christian faith. 38:10.550 --> 38:11.210 Wrong! 38:11.850 --> 38:14.270 He says, which all other faiths lack. 38:14.430 --> 38:17.770 This faith that he described, the Judeo-Christian faith, is the Roman 38:17.770 --> 38:18.690 Catholic faith. 38:19.170 --> 38:21.810 The Ecumenical Evangelical faith. 38:22.770 --> 38:25.790 It's not the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 38:26.910 --> 38:32.950 Judeo-Christianity is the counterfeit of the true faith of Abraham, Isaac, 38:33.110 --> 38:33.610 and Jacob. 38:34.350 --> 38:36.450 It's called Christianity today. 38:37.450 --> 38:38.930 And it's not the truth. 38:39.770 --> 38:42.070 It is deceived beyond comprehension. 38:42.890 --> 38:49.110 And we should shun any... those who truly believe in the Bible and what it says must 38:49.110 --> 38:54.390 distance themselves from being described as a Judeo-Christian faith. 38:55.330 --> 39:00.350 Now he says, Bible prophecy, unblemished record of fulfillment, is sufficient to 39:00.350 --> 39:05.970 authenticate the Bible in distinction to all other writings as the one and only 39:05.970 --> 39:07.390 inerrant word of God. 39:07.390 --> 39:14.510 So clearly, Dave Hunt recognizes that Bible prophecy and their perfect 39:14.510 --> 39:18.530 fulfillment as viewed in history is testimony. 39:19.510 --> 39:25.390 The unarguable testimony that the Bible is the only holy book on the planet. 39:26.230 --> 39:31.690 And that the God described thereof is the only God in the universe. 39:32.350 --> 39:37.210 You know, many times in my discussions on amateur radio, I was accused of believing 39:37.210 --> 39:37.810 in... 39:37.810 --> 39:39.450 having blind faith. 39:40.270 --> 39:41.310 Blind faith. 39:42.090 --> 39:45.710 I simply told them, how can you call this a blind faith? 39:46.450 --> 39:51.550 We have 5,000 years of record in the Bible. 39:52.390 --> 39:56.890 We have that many prophecies and fulfillments of Bible prophecies to the 39:56.890 --> 39:59.010 most minutest detail. 39:59.910 --> 40:05.470 I'm as sure of my faith as I am that the sun is going to rise in the east tomorrow. 40:06.490 --> 40:08.310 And you call it a blind faith? 40:08.790 --> 40:12.490 You call it a blind faith simply because you won't look at the record. 40:13.170 --> 40:17.270 You won't look at the prophecies in the Bible and see their fulfillment in history 40:17.270 --> 40:21.130 and concede the incontestable fact. 40:22.130 --> 40:24.910 Reading the Bible is like reading the future. 40:25.870 --> 40:29.830 Reading the Bible is like reading a newspaper to a historian. 40:30.790 --> 40:32.850 There's no blindness in this faith. 40:33.830 --> 40:35.610 It's an assurity. 40:36.370 --> 40:43.830 Just as we read the scriptures and we see in prophesied in the Bible, the very words 40:43.830 --> 40:48.930 that Jesus would express on the cross should satisfy any critic. 40:49.470 --> 40:51.590 But they will never be satisfied. 40:51.590 --> 40:52.210 Why? 40:52.390 --> 40:54.930 Because they love the darkness more than the light. 40:55.770 --> 41:00.310 They won't acknowledge the clear and evident proof that the Bible is a 41:00.310 --> 41:02.010 testament unto itself. 41:02.770 --> 41:06.470 And that history verifies the truth of everything said in the Bible. 41:07.150 --> 41:11.030 It's the most accurate account of history that exists in this world. 41:11.760 --> 41:17.930 And the naysayers and the atheists and the agnostics find any argument they can, 41:18.050 --> 41:25.650 even to the lowest of the low, in trying to say that we have a blind 41:25.650 --> 41:26.190 faith. 41:26.190 --> 41:31.890 But yet, they'll believe the words of Stephen Hawking, or scientists, 41:32.750 --> 41:39.190 or philosophers, or the Roman Catholic Church, or any of the other holy books in 41:39.190 --> 41:46.690 the Bible, any other of the holy books other than the Bible, and believe that 41:46.690 --> 41:47.630 they have the truth. 41:48.430 --> 41:50.310 And you talk about a blind faith. 41:51.050 --> 41:51.790 What blindness! 41:52.790 --> 41:59.550 None of them can demonstrate the incontestable authority of the Scripture 41:59.550 --> 42:01.710 through Bible prophecy. 42:02.570 --> 42:03.810 They all lack it. 42:04.530 --> 42:09.950 That's the one thing that Satan cannot duplicate, is God's ability to tell the 42:09.950 --> 42:13.850 future, thousands of years before it even happens. 42:14.810 --> 42:16.990 There's no blindness in my faith. 42:16.990 --> 42:24.590 Now again, he's beginning another subject here, speaking of prophecy, the great 42:24.590 --> 42:25.130 proof. 42:26.030 --> 42:28.910 He says there are many important reasons for Bible prophecy. 42:29.510 --> 42:34.590 First of all, prophecy fulfilled provides irrefutable proof for the existence of the 42:34.590 --> 42:36.850 very God who inspired the prophets. 42:37.590 --> 42:42.510 By foretelling major events of world history, centuries and even thousands of 42:42.510 --> 42:48.190 years before they happen, the God of the Bible, the only God, proves that He is the 42:48.190 --> 42:54.050 only true God, the creator of the universe and mankind, the Lord of history, 42:54.550 --> 43:00.750 and that the Bible is His infallible word, given to communicate His purposes and way 43:00.750 --> 43:03.710 of salvation to all who will believe. 43:04.490 --> 43:09.810 Here is a proof so simple that a child can understand it, yet so profound that the 43:09.810 --> 43:12.230 greatest genius cannot refute it. 43:12.230 --> 43:18.950 Prophecy thus plays a vital role in revealing God's purpose for mankind. 43:20.010 --> 43:24.590 It also provides foolproof identification of God's true Messiah, or Christ, 43:25.070 --> 43:28.370 and unmasks Satan's imposter, the Antichrist. 43:28.890 --> 43:32.690 And I will add, without apology, the papacy. 43:33.360 --> 43:39.490 The Bible speaks specifically of the papacy, even the very words that are 43:39.490 --> 43:42.790 written in the bulls and encyclicals of the popes. 43:43.710 --> 43:48.850 Without mentioning the word pope, we can read the prophecies and we cannot 43:48.850 --> 43:53.830 deny that it is the pope, the papacy of the Roman Catholic Church. 43:54.730 --> 43:59.310 Again it says, prophecy thus plays a vital role in revealing God's purpose for 43:59.310 --> 43:59.770 mankind. 43:59.770 --> 44:05.410 It also provides foolproof identification of God's true Messiah, or Christ, 44:05.650 --> 44:12.210 that is Jesus, and unmasks Satan's imposter, the Antichrist. 44:12.990 --> 44:20.050 The papacy, so that no one who heeds God's word need be deceived by him. 44:20.050 --> 44:29.290 No one who reads God's word and understands its meaning can deny who the 44:29.290 --> 44:30.790 Antichrist is. 44:31.630 --> 44:34.950 And none of them should be deceived by him. 44:35.710 --> 44:42.450 And we know that most of the world is completely deceived, believes the papacy 44:42.450 --> 44:47.790 is a man of God, that the Roman Catholic Church is a Christian faith, even so much 44:47.790 --> 44:52.970 so that they would renounce the Protestant Reformation as a grievous assault upon the 44:52.970 --> 44:56.930 throne of Almighty God, and unite with the Roman Catholic Church, and submit 44:56.930 --> 45:02.030 themselves to the papacy's authority, and come under Roman Catholic canon law, 45:02.370 --> 45:05.910 completely discarding God's holy and immutable law. 45:06.330 --> 45:08.590 That's what ecumenism is. 45:08.990 --> 45:13.470 The destruction of true Bible-believing Protestantism. 45:13.470 --> 45:19.630 He says, just as prophecy is unique to the Bible, so it is unique to Christ. 45:20.670 --> 45:23.230 No prophecies foretold the coming of Buddha. 45:23.930 --> 45:28.430 No prophecies foretold the coming of Mohammed, or Zoroaster, or Confucius, 45:28.550 --> 45:29.950 or even Joseph Smith. 45:30.890 --> 45:37.750 Neither Mary Baker Eddy, the current popular Hindu gurus, have invaded the 45:37.750 --> 45:43.030 West, or any other religious leader, all of whom lack the credentials which 45:43.030 --> 45:45.550 distinguish Jesus Christ alone. 45:46.450 --> 45:50.970 Yet there are more than 300 Old Testament prophecies which identify Israel's 45:50.970 --> 45:51.470 Messiah. 45:52.190 --> 45:57.410 Centuries before his coming, the Hebrew prophets set forth numerous and specific 45:57.410 --> 46:01.630 criteria which had to be met by the Messiah. 46:01.630 --> 46:07.370 The fulfillment of these prophecies, in minute detail, in life, in the life, 46:07.550 --> 46:13.370 the death, and the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, demonstrates indisputably 46:13.370 --> 46:19.450 that he is the Promised One, the true and only Savior. 46:20.510 --> 46:25.410 Inasmuch as these two major themes of Bible prophecy, Israel and the Messiah, 46:25.890 --> 46:31.470 have been dealt with in some of my other books, principally in How Close Are We? 46:32.270 --> 46:34.750 We will only summarize them briefly here. 46:35.330 --> 46:40.830 In Isaiah chapter 43, verse 10, the God of Israel declares that the Jews 46:40.830 --> 46:42.550 are his witness to the world. 46:43.210 --> 46:44.490 Now, who are the Jews? 46:44.810 --> 46:45.570 Who is Israel? 46:46.450 --> 46:51.810 Those of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Gentile and Jew alike. 46:51.810 --> 46:54.430 Don't let Dave mislead you. 46:55.290 --> 47:00.930 He declares that the Jews are his witness to the world, that he is God. 47:02.630 --> 47:07.310 If I don't come from Jewish descent, I'm telling you that the God of the Bible, 47:07.550 --> 47:08.750 he is God. 47:09.510 --> 47:12.930 That makes me a Jew according to God's definition of a Jew. 47:13.170 --> 47:17.390 That makes me a member of Israel according to God's definition of Israel. 47:17.390 --> 47:20.810 And I don't live in Palestine. 47:21.510 --> 47:23.230 I live in Iowa. 47:24.310 --> 47:29.430 Now, it says, such is the case in spite of the fact that 30% of today's Israelis 47:29.430 --> 47:36.030 claim to be atheists, and most Jews worldwide would never think of telling the 47:36.030 --> 47:38.490 world that God exists. 47:39.410 --> 47:43.490 Yet they are the witnesses, says Dave Hunt. 47:44.310 --> 47:49.170 Yet they are the witnesses, both to themselves and to the world, of his 47:49.170 --> 47:56.170 existence, because of the astonishing fulfillment in history of precisely what 47:56.170 --> 47:58.630 God said would happen to these special people. 48:00.290 --> 48:05.930 What did God say about these Jews, these Israelites, that they would be 48:05.930 --> 48:12.210 persecuted and killed and chased all over the world? 48:13.970 --> 48:14.610 Stigmatized? 48:17.170 --> 48:21.150 You think that only applies to those who call themselves the Jews? 48:22.470 --> 48:27.070 Look at the history of the Roman Catholic Church and who she has persecuted. 48:27.990 --> 48:33.730 I don't deny that the Roman Catholic Church has persecuted the physical 48:33.730 --> 48:39.590 descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but more so she has persecuted 48:39.590 --> 48:46.410 the spiritual descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, true Bible-believing 48:46.410 --> 48:47.310 Protestants. 48:47.690 --> 48:50.030 And the world has forgotten about that, haven't they? 48:51.450 --> 48:57.790 We're all reminded constantly of the so-called six million Jews who were 48:57.790 --> 49:04.370 exterminated in the crematoriums of Germany and Poland. 49:05.150 --> 49:13.170 I believe the number far exceeded six million, because the Jews that the Germans 49:13.170 --> 49:19.770 and the Poles exterminated were not just the physical descendants of Abraham, 49:20.050 --> 49:24.430 Isaac, and Jacob, but the spiritual descendants of Abraham, Isaac, 49:24.550 --> 49:28.050 and Jacob, the Bible-believing Protestants. 49:29.450 --> 49:35.470 And the world needs to remember the blood that has made the whore, the woman in 49:35.470 --> 49:37.370 Revelation 17, drunk. 49:38.190 --> 49:43.490 It's the blood of the saints, and the blood of the prophets, and of all the 49:43.490 --> 49:44.430 slain of the earth. 51:36.430 --> 51:39.250 Notice that there are few commercials on this radio network. 51:39.930 --> 51:41.350 There's a good reason for that. 51:41.890 --> 51:46.350 Corporate advertising dollars come with strings

all to the glory of our God and Creator, for His holy nation, the only 52:56.470 --> 52:58.650 kingdom that will last forever. 52:59.150 --> 53:00.650 Thank you for listening. 53:08.410 --> 53:14.070

53:19.730 Built. 53:20.070 --> 53:21.690 That's crosstheborder.org. 53:22.110 --> 53:25.770 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 53:25.770 --> 53:30.370 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 53:30.370 --> 53:31.150 begin to be built. 53:31.150 --> 53:36.690 The plans are drawn, the Jewish people are eager, most Evangelical Christians today 53:36.690 --> 53:39.710 believe that the rapture will happen before the Third Temple is built. 53:39.970 --> 53:41.670 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 53:42.230 --> 53:44.850 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 53:45.450 --> 53:47.110 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 53:47.730 --> 53:50.710 Have we searched the Scriptures and found this to be true? 53:51.410 --> 53:55.050 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 53:55.050 --> 53:55.890 Temple in Jerusalem? 53:55.890 --> 54:01.130 Is it necessary to build a Temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 54:01.130 --> 54:01.610 of the Rock? 54:02.030 --> 54:06.170 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the Temple on Temple Mount? 54:06.730 --> 54:09.970 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 54:10.710 --> 54:12.230 What is the New Testament Temple? 54:13.050 --> 54:15.210 Can we identify history and prophecy? 54:16.330 --> 54:18.990 Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13? 54:19.690 --> 54:22.210 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 54:22.210 --> 54:26.570 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 54:27.150 --> 54:31.410 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 54:31.410 --> 54:32.990 Scripture to interpret Scripture. 54:33.670 --> 54:37.130 The Bible says that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private 54:37.130 --> 54:37.850 interpretation. 54:38.690 --> 54:41.570 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 54:42.050 --> 54:46.190 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 54:47.190 --> 54:56.330 Visit crosstheborder.org to get your print, e-pub, or PDF
