Good morning.
Welcome to Inquisition Update.
My name is Tom Friess and I'll be your host for the next hour.
You're listening to FirstAmendmentRadio .com.
Thanks for tuning in, everybody.
Yesterday we concluded with a discussion of nine particular major prophecies in the
Bible describing who were God's chosen people, what is their land, and what is
their destiny.
And before we continue, I'll review some of those prophecies.
We'll finish enumerating those prophecies and continue to the next portion of the
book.
The author of this book, by the way, which is entitled, A Woman Rides the
Beast, Dave Hunt, describes these nine major prophecies.
Number one, God promised a land of clearly defined boundaries for his people.
Number two, it is a historical fact that God brought these chosen people,
see Exodus chapter 7, Deuteronomy 7 and chapter 14, into their promised land.
Number three, when the Jewish people entered the promised land, God warned them
that if they practiced the idolatry and immorality of the land's previous
inhabitants, the Canaanites, whom he had destroyed for their evil, he would cast
them out as well.
This has happened again.
It's an undisputable fact of history.
Now, number four, God declared that his people would be scattered among all people
from one end of the earth to the other, as found in Deuteronomy, 1 Kings,
Nehemiah, Amos, Zechariah.
And then number five is God warned that wherever they wandered, the Jews would be,
quote, an astonishment, a proverb, a byword, a curse and a reproach.
See Deuteronomy chapter 28, Chronicles 7, Jeremiah 29 and 44.
And amazingly, all of these things have come true throughout history.
Bible prophecy fulfilled.
This is how we know that we serve the God of creation, by the fulfillment of Bible
prophecy.
Number six, that they would be persecuted and killed as no other peoples on the face
of the earth.
Number seven, he would not let his chosen people be destroyed, but would preserve
them as an identifiable ethnic and national group.
Number eight, he would bring them back into their own land in the last days.
And number nine, God declared that in the last days, before the Messiah's second
coming, Jerusalem would become a cup of trembling, a burdensome stone for all
people.
That is recorded in Zechariah chapter 12, verses 2 and 3.
All these things have been fulfilled in history.
Now the question is, who are God's people?
Were they the Jews that rejected him, that still reject him today?
Or is this speaking of those who remain in the faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
Is this talking about an earthly kingdom, as the world is convinced today?
Or is it talking about a heavenly kingdom?
Is it talking about Jerusalem, Israel?
The modern nation state of Israel, the capital of which is Jerusalem?
Or is it the capital of Jerusalem?
Is it Tel Aviv?
Is it confusing?
Well, it's intended to be confusing for those that don't understand.
But those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, it's not confusing at all.
The whole world is burdened about a physical Israel, a physical Jerusalem,
and a physical kingdom.
All of which the Pope intends to rule.
The biblical, historical and prophetic Antichrist.
God destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D., destroyed the temple, destroyed the
sacrificial system.
But are all these prophecies of no use now?
No, they apply to another kingdom called Israel and another Jerusalem, a heavenly.
The new Jerusalem which comes down from God out of heaven.
And its citizens will be those of the faith of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Those who believe Jesus Christ.
Now, to dispel all the myths and all the false teachings of Christianity today that
have the world's eyes focused upon the modern nation state of Israel and
Jerusalem.
Those false beliefs that make Jerusalem a cup of trembling for the whole world.
And you'll see for yourself what God actually intended for His people.
A new Jerusalem, a heavenly kingdom wherein dwelleth righteousness.
And there will be no Pope in that kingdom.
There will be no Antichrist in that kingdom.
There will only be Jesus Christ and His followers, His believers.
It will be a pristine utopia under a righteous benevolent ruler.
And I can't wait for that kingdom.
It appears to me that Dave Hunt was just as deceived about these prophecies as is
everyone else today.
And I don't wish to take a personal issue with Dave Hunt, by the way, who was
recently deceased.
I just want to dispel the myths.
Now, we'll continue where we left off yesterday.
On page 24, if you're following along in your own copy of the book, Dave Hunt says,
even more remarkable, and he reads the ninth prophecy, the ninth major prophecy
in the Bible regarding Israel.
He says, God declared that in the last days before the Messiah's second coming,
Jerusalem would become a cup of trembling, a burdensome stone for all people.
See Zechariah 12, verses 2 and 3.
And he says, at the time Zechariah uttered this prophecy 2,500 years ago,
Jerusalem lay in ruins and was surrounded by wilderness.
And so it remained, century after century.
Zechariah's prophecy seemed to be utter madness, even after Israel's rebirth in
1948.
Yet today, exactly as foretold, a world of nearly six billion people has
its eyes upon Jerusalem, fearful that the next war, if it breaks out, will be fought
over that tiny city.
What an incredible fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
And it is indeed.
But we are not to be deceived by the colossal lie that is being told by the
Vatican and by the Christian churches today.
You see, Rome has a special design for the physical modern nation-state of Israel and
for the city of Jerusalem today, to perpetrate upon the world the greatest
deception since the Garden of Eden.
Rome intends to lead this new world order, a global kingdom of Christ, the cosmic
Christ.
It's an earthly kingdom, a diabolical kingdom, a tyrannical kingdom that will
resemble everything that we know about the old world order.
That is not the kingdom of Christ.
He's deceiving the Jews, he's deceiving the Christians, the whole world is
deceived about what purpose the modern nation-state of Israel, and particularly
Jerusalem, and the Jews play in that land.
Israel occupies about one-sixth of one percent of the land area which the Arabs
possess.
The Arabs have the oil, the wealth, and the worldwide influence which such
seemingly inexhaustible resources command.
Not only is Israel's postage stamp piece of land scarcely discernible on a world
map, but it lacks all the essentials to make it the center of worldwide concern.
In defiance of all reason, however, it is the focus of world attention
precisely as prophesied.
Jerusalem is a small city of neither commercial importance nor strategic
location, yet the eyes of the world are upon it as upon no other city.
Jerusalem is indeed a burdensome stone around the necks of all the nations of the
world, the most vexing and volatile problem of the United Nations today.
There is no other explanation for this.
What the Hebrew prophets declared thousands of years ago, and what seemed
utterly fantastic in their time, is being fulfilled in our day.
This is only part of the evidence, as we shall see, that the prophesied last
days are upon us, and that our generation will likely see the remainder of Bible
prophecy fulfilled.
The prophecies outlined above, to say nothing of scores of others,
have been a matter of public record on the pages of scripture and available for
careful examination for centuries.
That they have been fulfilled in specific detail cannot be the result of mere
chance, but is in fact more than sufficient proof for the existence of God
who inspired the Bible and of that book's authenticity and inerrancy.
That is our greatest claim to the authenticity of the Bible, is the minutely
detailed fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
No other book on the planet can compare with it.
God has made himself distinct in the world by this one characteristic of the
scripture.
And as I've said on Inquisition Update before, I'll say again, it bears
repeating, that Bible prophecy is not given to us so much that we can predict
accurately the future, but that once these prophecies are fulfilled, then we see
their fulfillment in history and we are once again reminded of just how
masterfully God has proven himself to be the author of this book and the creator of
all heaven and earth.
The true God of creation.
And when people accuse me on amateur radio and other discussions that I have of
having a blind faith, I have an immediate and convincing answer to their doubt.
And all one has to do is show them the Bible prophecies and how they were
fulfilled precisely as given.
And the one I am most enamored with today is an understanding of Daniel's prophecy
in chapter 9, verse 24 through 27, and that prophecy still has assured me
that this book is inspired from cover to cover, it is without error, it is the word
of God Almighty, and it is to be believed, and it is to be understood.
And if we believe and understand as it is written, Daniel's 70-week prophecy,
we understand that it is perfectly and completely fulfilled.
All 70 weeks of that prophecy was fulfilled by the Messiah 2,000 years ago.
And once you understand that, then, once you understand that, then you can
understand why Jerusalem is such a cup of trembling in the world today.
Why all the nations of the world are troubled by this new modern nation state
of Israel.
And I can only hope and pray that through the Spirit of God, that people will come
to the understanding that the papacy together with the kings of the earth are
manually trying to re-fulfill the 70th week of Daniel.
And because of that struggle to fulfill that prophecy in a convincing way,
they've had to deceive the whole world, and use the whole world, and manipulate
the whole world.
And I'm telling you, and I can say this with certainty, the nation state of Israel
today is not for the purpose of saving the Jews, not to give the Jews a homeland.
It is Rome's answer, final answer for the Jewish question.
It is her final attempt to fulfill what the Roman Catholic Church teaches,
replacement theology.
They're going to replace the God of the Bible with the God of this world.
In the greatest deception since the Garden of Eden.
And all the Protestant churches, the once called Protestant churches,
now called Evangelical churches, I call them Ecumenical Evangelical
churches, are just as convinced as the rest of the deceived world that Jerusalem
is the focus of all these Bible prophecies.
And it's simply not the case.
Jesus is going to return.
He's going to establish His kingdom.
But it's not going to be in Jerusalem, Israel.
Not the modern nation state of Israel as we know it today.
That little postage stamp sized piece of land that the Vatican desires for itself,
through which it might deceive the whole world, through a phony re-fulfillment of
the 70th week of Daniel.
I hope my listeners are beginning to comprehend this.
I want to hear from my listeners.
If you're beginning to understand what we're talking about here on Inquisition
Update, I'd sure love to know it.
I'd love to know that this message is not falling on deaf ears.
Futurism is a hard thing to shake, and I can tell you from personal
experience.
Having believed in dispensational futurism for the first 50 years of my life,
I can tell you, even now, after knowing the truth, it's easy to slip back into
that old way of thinking.
I have to correct myself every now and then, when that belief, that thing that
I've been indoctrinated with since I was old enough to go to church, keeps coming
up, keeps confusing me.
It's a difficult thing to shake, but it is an error, a gross error,
and it's going to cause the Christians of today to not know the time of their
visitation, just as confusion of this same Bible prophecy, Daniel chapter 9,
verse 24 through 27, caused the Jews not to know the time of their visitation 2,000
years ago.
Now, Dave Hunt says,
Fulfilled in specific detail cannot be the result of mere chance, but is in fact more
than sufficient proof for the existence of God, the God who inspired the Bible,
and of that book's authenticity and inerrancy.
In view of such clear and overwhelming evidence, one can only charitably assume
that no agnostic or atheist has bothered to read the biblical prophecies and check
them personally against history and current events.
There are additional prophecies concerning Israel and Jerusalem, which pertain to the
last days and still await future fulfillment.
We may be certain, on the basis of the prophecies which have already come true,
that these too will surely be realized, and in the not-too-distant future.
The most appalling time of utter destruction, both for the Jews and for the
entire population of the world, lies yet ahead.
It is called the time of Jacob's trouble, in Jeremiah chapter 30 and verse 7.
I want to ask my listeners again, when you read Jeremiah chapter 30 and
verse 7, and it talks about Jacob's trouble, I want you to ask yourself,
Who is Jacob today?
Are they disbelieving Jews in Israel?
Or are they God's true people, those of the faith of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob?
Now, with astonishing accuracy, the Bible does not single out Damascus,
Cairo, London, or Paris as the center of action in the last days.
But two other specific sites, Jerusalem and Rome.
They are diverse, have been enemies since the days of Caesars, and remarkably are
still rivals today for spiritual supremacy.
Let me tell you, Rome dominates both.
Rome dominates both.
Rome and Jerusalem today.
Catholic Rome, according to Dave Hunt, claims to be the eternal city and the holy
city.
Titles which the Bible has given to Jerusalem.
I will ask the listeners again, Which Jerusalem?
The one on this earth?
Or the one that comes down from God out of heaven?
Rome also claims to be the new Jerusalem, putting her in direct conflict with God's
promises concerning the true city of David.
Again, we must ask ourselves, Is Rome the new Jerusalem?
Is the Jerusalem in Israel the new Jerusalem?
From where does the new Jerusalem come?
The Scriptures are plain about it.
So why are we trembling over an earthly Jerusalem?
Why all this concern about Jerusalem in the modern nation state of Israel today?
Why has Rome and the churches who are now united with her, deceiving the whole world
about Jerusalem?
And about God's people?
Rome is indeed in direct conflict with God's promises concerning the true city of
David.
There have been 2,000 years of tension and antagonism between Rome and Jerusalem.
For nearly 46 years after Israel's rebirth in 1948, the Vatican refused to
acknowledge her right to exist.
Imagine that!
It was the Vatican, it was Rome, who brought about the new modern nation
state of Israel.
But she doesn't want the world to know it.
And to distance herself from having anything to do with it, to make it look
like it was God's providence and not Rome's manipulation, she simply refused to
acknowledge Israel's existence in the world.
And by that, has deceived the whole world.
Interesting discussion?

Built.
That's crosstheborder.org When it comes to prophecy today, much of the evangelical
Christian world has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third
Temple will begin to be built.
The plans are drawn, the Jewish people are eager.
Most evangelical Christians today believe that the rapture will happen before the
Third Temple is built.
Hi, I'm Michael Eugene.
I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future.
Is that really what the Bible teaches?
Have we searched the Scriptures and found this to be true?
Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third
Temple in Jerusalem?
Is it necessary to build a Temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome
of the Rock?
Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the Temple on Temple Mount?
Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation?
What is the New Testament Temple?
Can we identify history and prophecy?
Who is the first beast in Revelation Chapter 13?
Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17?
I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book,
When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using
Scripture to interpret Scripture.
The Bible says that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private
interpretation.
Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built,
how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation.

Now, Dave Hunt concludes this chapter by saying, there have been 2,000 years of
tension and antagonism between Rome and Jerusalem.
That is absolutely correct.
And why has Rome been so concerned over Jerusalem for the last 2,000 years?
Because she knows that Jesus fulfilled the 70th week of Daniel.
Rome does not like that fulfillment and would like to fulfill it according to her
desire.
And that is to make the papacy the Messiah of Israel.
The vicar of Christ, the replacement of the Son of God on earth.
And she's done everything in her power to deceive the whole world to anticipate that
eventuality.
To make Israel, or to make rather Jerusalem, the capital for the Pope.
And to declare himself the Messiah.
And for 2,000 years, the papacy has striven by war, crusades, and intrigue,
and every other means to get control of Jerusalem.
For that very purpose.
And Rome is more determined in her efforts to control that city, and that portion of
the world, than she has ever been in her entire history.
For 2,000 years, only now, has Rome gained the power, and access, and strength,
and has deceived the world enough to believe in her phony re-fulfillment of the
70th week of Daniel.
To deceive the Jews, to receive the wrongs, Messiah.
You see, they're still waiting for the first coming of Christ.
Having rejected Jesus.
And the papacy cleverly has also deceived those who claim to follow Jesus Christ as
the Messiah.
And to focus all of their attention also on Jerusalem.
So that they may be deceived, and to receive the papacy as Christ's vicar on
the earth.
Satan has been attempting to deceive the whole world for 2,000 years through Rome.
And I'm just here to tell you, the churches today are all prepared,
because of their belief in dispensational futurism, because of their failure to
understand Daniel's prophecy, Daniel chapter 9 verse 24 through 27.
Rome has them prepared to accept a lie.
To believe a lie.
And I consider myself blessed of God not to be deceived any longer about this.
And privileged to be able to expose this deception to my listeners.
And hopeful that God will inspire you to become more and more familiar with this
deception.
And to help expose the greatest lie, the greatest deception since the Garden of
Eden.
He says there have been 2,000 years of tension and antagonism between Rome and
Jerusalem.
For nearly 46 years after Israel's rebirth in 1948, the Vatican refused to
acknowledge her right to exist.
Rome refused to acknowledge the existence of the very state she created.
That's to cover her involvement in its creation.
Do not be deceived.
Rome is all behind the creation of the modern nation state of Israel.
To confuse the whole world as to who are the Jews, what is Israel, and what is
Jerusalem.
To convert everyone's hopes and beliefs in an earthly kingdom.
And to deceive them away from the heavenly one Christ is preparing to bring down from
heaven.
He says that animosity has not been erased by the recent overtures which the Vatican
has found it expedient to make toward Israel.
Rome wants to influence the future of Jerusalem.
No, she wants to control the future of Jerusalem.
Which she still insists must be an international city over which Israel will
have no more say than any other nation.
Dave Hunt understands that the Vatican wants to have complete control in
Jerusalem.
I wish Dave Hunt were still alive today so that I could have these discussions with
him, but he's gone.
And it's because his mind was polluted as was mine with dispensational futurism.
He says with awesome precision the Bible identifies Jerusalem and Rome as the focal
points of prophesied last days events.
Both will come in for their share of God's judgment.
It requires little more than casual attention to the daily news to recognize
the accuracy of that forecast.
Here too in what the Bible says about Rome and the Vatican City, we have additional
evidence that this book is God's word.
Evidence that we will be examining in detail.
Now we're going to move to chapter 3 of this book, and he begins this chapter with
some quotes from the scripture.
Quote, ye men of Israel, hear these words.
Jesus of Nazareth, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of
God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.
That was taken from a sermon by the Apostle Peter in Acts chapter 2 verse 22
and 23.
And yet another one from Acts chapter 17 verse 2 and 3, Paul speaking this time in
a similar sermon.
Quote, Paul, for three Sabbath days reasoned with them, that is the Jews in
the synagogue, out of the Old Testament scriptures, that Christ's must needs have
suffered and risen again from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto
you, is Christ the Messiah.
Okay?
Do you suppose Paul was confused about Daniel's prophecy?
The 70th week of Daniel?
I don't believe Paul was deceived at all.
That deception was left for our generation.
Now, chapter 3 begins, it's entitled, A Passover Plot?
Listen to the extent to which Satan would try to deceive the whole world.
The prophecies concerning the second major theme of the Bible, the coming of the
Messiah, are even more numerous and detailed than those pertaining to Israel.
These prophecies have also been dealt with at some length in my previous books,
so we will only summarize a few of them briefly here.
Even the most anti-Christian critics who deny categorically that Jesus of Nazareth
is the Savior of the world, admit that many specific messianic prophecies were
fulfilled in his life and crucifixion.
In the attempt to explain away the significance of that fact, some bizarre
theories have been invented.
Typical of such attempts was a book and a movie, neither of which were very
successful some years back, entitled, The Passover Plot.
Its thesis was that Jesus, knowing some of the messianic prophecies of the Old
Testament, conspired with Judas Iscariot to fulfill them in order to make it appear
that he was the promised Messiah.
How absurd and how anti-Christian.
Now, this is hardly worth discussing, but it just goes to show what effort the
Christ-haters will go to repudiate Jesus Christ.
Now, he says obviously it would have been ludicrous for Jesus to get himself
crucified in order to convince a small band of uneducated, inept followers that
he was the Christ.
In fact, neither his disciples nor any other Jew, including even John the
Baptist, could believe, though the prophecies were clear, as Christ explained
often, that the Messiah was to be crucified.
His death rather seemed proof that he was not the Messiah.
Though fulfilling the prophecies concerning his crucifixion to the letter,
as he did, would not have been the way to gather a following.
In fact, Christ's death in fulfillment of scripture was in order to pay for the
penalties of the sins of the world.
The prophecies concerning his death, see Psalms 22.16, Isaiah 53.5,
8-10, 12, Zechariah 12.10, etc., were avoided by the Jews as impenetrable
mysteries, because they seemed totally at odds with other prophecies declaring
plainly that the Messiah would ascend David's throne and rule over a magnificent
kingdom.
How could the Messiah establish a kingdom and a peace that would never end,
according to Isaiah 9.7, and yet be rejected and crucified by his own people?
It seemed impossible for both to be true, so the Jewish interpreters simply ignored
what didn't seem to make sense to them.
I want to ask my listeners a question.
How much are we ignoring in the scriptures today because we just simply can't make
sense of them?
You ever catch yourself reading over the scriptures and finding something that you
just don't understand and you just skip past it?
There's a wealth of information in those passages, and I suggest to my listeners
that many of those passages can be clearly understood once we discern who it is in
the world that occupies the office of Antichrist, and that is the papacy.
Once we understand the correct interpretation of Daniel 9.24-27,
once we see that it was Jesus who fulfilled all 70 weeks of that prophecy
2,000 years ago, then there is much in the Bible that we just overlook because we
don't understand, and we don't understand simply because we've been lied to.
And all of a sudden, those scriptures come out with an incredible meaning that we
never perceived before.
When I had these discussions with my sister a couple years ago, she wept.
She said, Tom, I've got to read the Bible all over again.
And I said, certainly you do, sis, but before you do, make sure you take off
the church's glasses and just read it as it is written.
Never mind what the church says about the Bible, just read it as it is written,
and read it with the understanding of who the Antichrist is, and how he is deceiving
the whole world.
And I've yet to hear from her, and I hope someday that I'll know the
truth.
That she'll know the truth.
Now it says, that the Jews were able to crucify Jesus was the final triumphant
proof to the rabbis, and it served as the disappointing but undeniable evidence to
the Jewish masses and his most devoted disciples that Jesus of Nazareth couldn't
possibly have been the Messiah.
The prophesied messianic kingdom had not been established, nor had he brought peace
to Israel by delivering her from her enemies.
So at best, he could only have been a well-meaning imposter, and at worst,
a deliberate fraud.
Such remains the argument of most Jews today.
But look what's happening in Israel and Jerusalem today.
The prophesied messianic kingdom had not been established by Jesus Christ.
Who do you suppose wishes to establish that messianic kingdom today?
In Jerusalem.
It's the Pope.
The Antichrist.
Jesus had not brought peace to Israel by delivering Israel from her enemies.
Who in the world today wants to bring peace to Israel and to deliver her from
her enemies?
The Pope of Rome.
I just received from one of my listeners an email, a clip from a newspaper in
Jerusalem, telling how the wife of Bibi Netanyahu is just thrilled to not express
her glee that the new Jesuit Pope, or rather Antichrist, Jorge Bergoglio,
is going to be in Jerusalem in May.
Going to come to visit Jerusalem in May.
And Bibi Netanyahu's wife is just incapable of expressing her hope for that
visit.
I wonder what that could be.
He says, so at best, he could only have been, that is, Jesus could only have been
a well-meaning imposter.
Who wants to make Jesus the well-meaning imposter today?
In Jerusalem.
In Israel.
The Pope of Rome.
Right?
And at worst, a deliberate fraud.
That's what Rome wants to project upon Jesus.
The fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel, 2000 years ago.
In the hopes that the world will accept a counterfeit, who calls himself the Vicar
of Christ.
The Jews have rejected Jesus, they still reject Jesus, and they're looking for a
Messiah.
Rome has manipulated affairs in the Middle East until the Jews fear every minute of
every day for their lives.
And Rome has situated herself to be their Messiah.
The papacy has situated itself to become the Messiah of the Jews.
To set up a kingdom, to bring peace to Israel and to the Jews.
And the whole world is focused on all of that shenanigans.
The whole Christian world has every hope for the Jews and Israel and Jerusalem.
And I'm here to tell you, what the Vatican has in store for the Jews and Israel and
Jerusalem is directly counter to what the Bible teaches.
It deals with an entirely different set of people, an entirely different city,
and an entirely different country, and an entirely different king.
He says there was however, one way to reconcile the apparent contradiction.
The Messiah had to come twice.
The first time to die for man's sins, the second time to reign on the Davidic
throne.
Where do you suppose the Davidic throne is going to come from?
Is it going to come from Jerusalem and Israel on the eastern end of the
Mediterranean?
Or is it going to come down from God out of heaven?
He says, but even when Jesus explained that fact ahead of time, no one could
understand it.
It would take his resurrection to open blind eyes.
Let me tell you, that resurrection is when God's people should recognize that the
transference of the kingdom of Christ became not of this world, but of a
heavenly world.
The resurrection was the bridge between the earthly Israel and the heavenly
Israel.
We, God's people, Israel, are to cross that bridge, and no longer be concerned
with this phony counterfeit taking place on the world stage, and on every
television program, every radio program, every newspaper, every church in this
country.
We are not to be deceived.
We are not to be a part of an earthly kingdom, but a kingdom of Christ,
a heavenly kingdom, one which comes down from God out of heaven.
We need to know who we are, and we need to know who the liars are.
Now beyond a mere man, he says, yet there were a few prophecies which
Jesus of Nazareth could have conspired with Judas or others to fulfill.
Most prophecies, however, were beyond the control of any mere man.
Why?
Because Jesus was not any mere man.
He was God.
For example, being born in Jerusalem in the seed of David were major requirements
for the Messiah, as given in prophecy.
The timing of the Messiah's birth, too, as foretold, was obviously beyond the
influence of any ordinary mortal.
His birth had to occur before the scepter departed from Judas, see Genesis chapter
49 and verse 10.
While the temple was standing, according to Malachi chapter 3 and verse
1, while the genealogical records were available to prove his lineage,
according to 2 Samuel chapter 7 and verse 12 and Psalms 89, etc., and shortly before
the temple and Jerusalem were destroyed, see Daniel chapter 9 verse 26.
There was a narrow window of time during which the Messiah had to come,
and he did.
I will say it was more than just a narrow window of time.
It was a specific day.
Okay?
Now let me be clear.
In Daniel's prophecy it lists two separate periods of time.
Consecutive, well listen, to be accurate, three separate periods of time.
A 7 week period, a 62 week period, which together makes 69 weeks,
and it says after the 69th week shall Messiah be cut off.
He was cut off after the 69th week.
That leaves no other interpretation but that he was crucified during the 70th
week.
And I can tell you exactly, it was three and a half years after the 69th week.
Three and one half years into the 70th week of Daniel was Messiah cut off.
So why all this talk about the 70th week of Daniel being separated by 2,000 years
of time?
The teaching in Daniel's prophecy is too easy to miss.
And yet the churches, no rather the Vatican, together with the Jesuits,
have confused the whole world as to the fulfillment of that 70th week prophecy.
Why?
Because they want to put up their own Messiah.
One that the Jews can accept.
One that the whole world has already accepted.
Remember it was Pope John Paul II that got together with all the religious leaders of
the world in Assisi in the late 80s?
And they all declared him the religious leader of the world.
Remember Vatican Council II that ended in 1965?
Where it was told the Protestants, you've got to come home to mama.
You've been believing in futurism for the last three generations.
You all agree that the Antichrist doesn't come until the last seven years of time.
So the Antichrist cannot be, as the Protestant Reformers all unanimously
declared and preached from the rooftops, that it was the Pope, the papacy that was
the Antichrist.
You've proven up three generations of Protestants, you are no longer
Protestants.
You've abandoned the Protestant Reformation because you believed in a
future Antichrist, and you deny by that admission, you deny any longer believing
that the papacy is the Antichrist.
So you must accept, by your own actions, by your own demonstrations, by your own
beliefs, that the Protestant Reformation was a lie.
And worse than that, it was an assault against the legitimate throne of God on
earth, the papacy.
And you must join the Roman Catholic Church.
You've got to come home to mama.
You have surrendered your Protestant Reformation.
You have repudiated the Protestant Reformers and the Protestant Reformation.
You believe now in a future Antichrist because we deceived you with our
interpretation of Daniel 9.27.
You bought it, you've signed your name to it for three generations.
Now you've got to come home to Rome.
And that's what they're doing through the ecumenical movement.
So now that they all believe in a future Antichrist, and the Jews are hoping for
their first Messiah, Rome's sitting here ready to produce a seven-year peace
treaty, and you know that every ecumenical evangelical in this country who has been
sold the futurist lie is ready to identify whoever puts up a seven-year peace treaty
for the Jews, they are going to label him Antichrist and there isn't anybody ever
going to change their mind.
And if he is the Antichrist, who signs a treaty with the Jews and then breaks that
treaty with the Jews, then the whole world, the Jews included, are going to be
ready for their Messiah.
And it's not going to be Jesus.
It's going to be an earthly king.
And his current seat is in Rome.
And I hope my listeners are beginning to come to this realization.
Sorry to have run out of time at a most poignant part of the discussion.

When it comes to prophecy today, much of the evangelical Christian world
has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will
begin to be built.
The plans are drawn, the Jewish people are eager, most evangelical Christians today
believe that the rapture will happen before the Third Temple is built.
Hi, I'm Michael Eugene.
I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future.
Is that really what the Bible teaches?
Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true?
Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third
Temple in Jerusalem?
Is it necessary to build a temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome
of the Rock?
Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in a temple on Temple Mount?
Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation?
What is the New Testament Temple?
Can we identify history and prophecy?
Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13?
Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17?
I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book,
When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using
scripture to interpret scripture.
The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private
interpretation.
Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built,
how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation.
