00:31.570 --> 00:35.090
My name is Tom Friess, and I'll be your
host for the next hour.

00:35.410 --> 00:38.190
You're listening to FirstAmendmentRadio
.com.

00:38.290 --> 00:39.350
Thanks for tuning in.

00:39.870 --> 00:42.630
And we'll do, as always, get right to
business here.

00:42.830 --> 00:47.970
In reading and discussing the book,
A Woman Rides the Beast, by Dave Hunt.

00:48.090 --> 00:51.130
We're in the chapter entitled,
Sola Scriptura.

00:51.950 --> 00:56.670
This is a uniquely Protestant
proclamation.

00:57.230 --> 00:59.610
Sola Scriptura, the scriptures alone.

00:59.990 --> 01:08.590
We'll begin reading at the chapter break
on page 337, near the top of the page,

01:08.650 --> 01:11.710
where it says, God's word speaks directly
to all.

01:13.150 --> 01:18.890
In Old Testament times, the common people
were expected to know God's word,

01:18.890 --> 01:23.870
not through rabbinical interpretation,
but for themselves.

01:24.590 --> 01:26.190
And they were able to know it.

01:27.410 --> 01:34.750
That fact, as well as its availability to
all, is very clear from Christ's rebuke of

01:34.750 --> 01:37.070
the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.

01:37.910 --> 01:44.250
Quote, O fools, and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spoken.

01:45.250 --> 01:47.550
Luke, chapter 24, verse 25.

01:48.230 --> 01:53.150
He would not have used such harsh language
in holding these two ordinary people

01:53.150 --> 01:58.650
responsible for their ignorance of the
prophecies, had not all the Old Testament

01:58.650 --> 02:03.190
scriptures been readily available,
familiar, and understandable to the

02:03.190 --> 02:04.010
ordinary Jew.

02:04.810 --> 02:11.330
He then expounded unto them in all the
scriptures, which therefore must have been

02:11.330 --> 02:14.290
known, the things concerning himself.

02:14.770 --> 02:18.910
Luke, chapter 24, verse 25 and 27,
through 27.

02:20.490 --> 02:26.770
All of the scriptures were even available
to the far away Bereans, north of Greece,

02:27.170 --> 02:32.090
who, as we have seen, quote, searched the
scriptures daily.

02:32.750 --> 02:33.310
Unquote.

02:33.910 --> 02:35.950
Acts, chapter 17, verse 11.

02:36.650 --> 02:41.870
The same evidence is found in the fact
that Timothy knew the Old Testament from

02:41.870 --> 02:48.410
early childhood, as recorded in 2 Timothy,
chapter 3, verse 15, and that it was

02:48.410 --> 02:54.890
taught to him, not by the rabbis in the
synagogue, but at home by his mother and

02:54.890 --> 02:58.990
grandmother, who themselves were women of
faith.

02:59.690 --> 03:02.630
See 2 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 5.

03:03.830 --> 03:11.110
It is certainly clear that no one in Old
Testament times looked to any hierarchy

03:11.610 --> 03:16.910
for an official interpretation of the
scripture, nor did the early church,

03:17.610 --> 03:19.430
nor should we today.

03:20.690 --> 03:25.430
The plain words of the Bible, without
Rome's domineering interpretation,

03:26.250 --> 03:31.230
give the lie to the hierarchical structure
of the Roman Catholic Church and the

03:31.230 --> 03:33.250
authoritarianism of its clergy.

03:34.470 --> 03:41.030
Priscilla and Aquila were an ordinary
husband and wife who labored daily in tent

03:41.030 --> 03:41.470
making.

03:41.730 --> 03:43.850
Acts, chapter 18, verse 3.

03:44.710 --> 03:49.050
Yet a church met in their house,
it says according to the scripture,

03:49.310 --> 03:56.910
1 Corinthians, chapter 16, verse 19,
and they were capable teachers of God's

03:56.910 --> 04:02.410
word, even instructing a man so eloquent
as Apollos.

04:02.910 --> 04:05.130
Acts, chapter 18, verse 26.

04:06.330 --> 04:11.430
Paul referred to them as, quote,
my helpers in Jesus Christ.

04:12.350 --> 04:14.250
Romans, 16, 3.

04:15.250 --> 04:21.750
They had never been to seminary and were
not part of a clerical hierarchy,

04:22.290 --> 04:31.930
a clergy class, which didn't even exist,
but they knew God and His word by the Holy

04:31.930 --> 04:33.470
Spirit indwelling them.

04:34.410 --> 04:36.310
So should all Christians today.

04:37.690 --> 04:44.590
According to Paul, ordinary Christians are
to judge whether ordinary Christians are

04:44.590 --> 04:47.810
to judge whether a preacher is speaking
God's truth.

04:49.030 --> 04:54.130
Paul submitted his writings to the same
criteria, inviting his readers to judge by

04:54.130 --> 04:58.630
the Holy Spirit within them whether his
epistles were from God or not.

04:59.310 --> 05:05.490
Quote, if any man think himself to be a
prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge

05:05.490 --> 05:09.630
that the things that I write unto you are
the commandments of the Lord.

05:09.630 --> 05:13.150
First Corinthians, chapter 14,
verse 37.

05:14.150 --> 05:19.110
It was by the same witness of the Holy
Spirit within each individual believer

05:19.110 --> 05:26.250
that the first century church decided
which books were canonical in exactly the

05:26.250 --> 05:30.890
same way Christians today recognize the
Bible as God's inspired word.

05:31.850 --> 05:36.590
They didn't need the Roman Catholic Church
to tell them what books of the Bible were

05:36.590 --> 05:37.090
canonical.

05:38.090 --> 05:44.110
They didn't need any other witness but the
witness of the Holy Spirit through the

05:44.110 --> 05:48.450
words of the books that they regarded as
canonical.

05:49.750 --> 05:52.430
Now, the sad consequences.

05:54.250 --> 06:00.330
Unfortunately, the average Roman Catholic
has been taught to look to the Roman

06:00.330 --> 06:05.870
Catholic Church hierarchy for the
instruction which the Holy Spirit desires

06:05.870 --> 06:07.930
to give directly to every believer.

06:09.030 --> 06:15.010
To Rome, to suggest that the Holy Spirit
speaks to individuals through the words of

06:15.010 --> 06:16.890
the Bible is anathema.

06:18.170 --> 06:22.030
Karl Keating, one of the leading Roman
Catholic lay apologists writes,

06:22.170 --> 06:28.290
quote, the Catholic believes in
inspiration because the church tells him

06:28.290 --> 06:28.650
so.

06:29.370 --> 06:30.810
That's putting it bluntly.

06:31.630 --> 06:35.730
And that same church has the authority to
interpret the inspired text.

06:36.870 --> 06:41.130
Fundamentalists have no interpreting
authority other than themselves.

06:42.750 --> 06:43.510
Unquote.

06:43.610 --> 06:48.530
So, he's simply suggesting that
Fundamentalists, or Protestants,

06:49.090 --> 06:52.490
have no interpreting authority at all.

06:54.590 --> 06:58.150
They don't have the authority to interpret
God's word.

06:58.590 --> 07:01.430
It's funny, the Bible says it interprets
itself, doesn't it?

07:03.610 --> 07:08.870
They're also suggesting by this comment
that Protestants, Bible believers,

07:09.810 --> 07:13.810
who do not rely upon the hierarchy of the
Roman Catholic Church for anything,

07:14.630 --> 07:18.990
cannot possess or cannot be indwelled by
the Holy Spirit.

07:21.470 --> 07:25.510
That's the difference between Roman
Catholicism and true Bible-believing

07:25.510 --> 07:26.250
Christianity.

07:28.370 --> 07:34.850
Now, in fact, Fundamentalists look to the
guidance of the Holy Spirit.

07:36.270 --> 07:43.170
Catholicism also claims that guidance,
but only for its hierarchy, who alone can

07:43.170 --> 07:45.930
be led by the Spirit to understand the
Bible.

07:46.970 --> 07:48.770
So says the Roman Catholic Church.

07:50.230 --> 07:56.530
Yet, the Bible says every Christian is
indwelt, empowered, and led by the Holy

07:56.530 --> 07:56.930
Spirit.

07:57.630 --> 07:59.410
That's what the Bible says.

08:01.290 --> 08:05.450
Rome says only the priesthood are led by
the Holy Spirit.

08:06.210 --> 08:11.590
The Bible says every Christian is indwelt,
empowered, and led by the Holy Spirit.

08:12.170 --> 08:16.390
In fact, one's not even a Christian
without this inner witness and leading of

08:16.390 --> 08:17.110
the Holy Spirit.

08:18.150 --> 08:22.970
Now, if any man have not the Spirit of
Christ, he is none of his.

08:23.970 --> 08:28.890
For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God.

08:29.810 --> 08:36.310
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our
spirit that we are, that we are the

08:36.310 --> 08:37.290
children of God.

08:37.870 --> 08:41.670
Romans chapter 8, verse 9, 14,
and 16.

08:41.670 --> 08:44.950
Another quote.

09:11.670 --> 09:19.550
We know the things that are freely given
to us of God, which things also we speak.

09:19.870 --> 09:25.670
Not in the words which man's wisdom
teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit

09:25.670 --> 09:26.330
teacheth.

09:27.070 --> 09:29.910
1 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 10 through
13.

09:31.350 --> 09:35.510
Having been convinced that he cannot
understand the Bible for himself,

09:35.510 --> 09:42.410
the devout Roman Catholic is at the mercy
of his church and must believe whatever it

09:42.410 --> 09:43.050
teaches.

09:44.070 --> 09:51.990
The Roman Catholic Catechism of Catholic
doctrine bluntly declares, Man can obtain

09:51.990 --> 09:58.130
a knowledge of God's word only from the
Catholic Church and through its duly

09:58.130 --> 09:59.770
constituted channels.

10:00.950 --> 10:05.650
When he has once mastered this principle
of divine authority residing in the

10:05.650 --> 10:13.230
church, the inquirer is prepared to accept
whatever the divine church teaches on

10:13.230 --> 10:16.070
faith, morals, and the means of grace.

10:17.070 --> 10:23.570
Here again, brazenly stated, is the first
principle of every cult.

10:36.000 --> 10:42.370
The idea appeals to those who think that
by this surrendering their minds to an

10:42.370 --> 10:47.970
infallible authority, they somehow escape
their individual moral responsibility to

10:47.970 --> 10:48.390
God.

10:49.350 --> 10:53.950
Others are afraid to think for themselves
because that would put them outside the

10:53.950 --> 11:00.110
church, where, quote, there is no
salvation, unquote, according to the Roman

11:00.110 --> 11:01.270
Catholic Church teaching.

11:02.350 --> 11:07.190
By this means, God's word, which should
speak powerfully to each individual,

11:07.190 --> 11:13.450
is held just out of reach of individual
Roman Catholics by their church.

11:15.150 --> 11:18.570
So when was the New Testament canon
established?

11:19.570 --> 11:22.370
When was the New Testament canon
established?

11:22.930 --> 11:29.850
We are taught by the Roman Catholic Church
that they established the canon of the New

11:29.850 --> 11:30.350
Testament.

11:31.210 --> 11:33.510
What is the truth of the matter?

11:35.150 --> 11:41.790
Dave Hunt says that the New Testament
canon, exactly like the old, was accepted

11:41.790 --> 11:46.190
and recognized by a consensus of the
believers as it was being written,

11:47.070 --> 11:50.410
is clear from the historic evidence we
have given above.

11:51.650 --> 11:58.070
Further proof comes from the testimony of
Peter, quote, Even as our beloved brother

11:58.070 --> 12:02.870
Paul, also according to the wisdom given
unto him, hath written it unto you,

12:03.530 --> 12:10.890
as also in all his epistles, speaking in
them of things in which some things are

12:10.890 --> 12:17.130
hard to be understood, which they that are
unlearned and unable twist, as they do

12:17.130 --> 12:20.790
also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction.

12:21.850 --> 12:25.230
2 Peter 3, verse 15 and 16.

12:25.570 --> 12:32.970
Now obviously, the disciples considered
all of Paul's writings scripture.

12:35.670 --> 12:40.650
Was it not they who canonized Paul's
writings?

12:41.090 --> 12:47.990
The disciples and the believers,
once they had read Paul's writings and

12:47.990 --> 12:54.050
verified it through God's word and also
through the witness of the Holy Spirit

12:54.050 --> 12:54.630
within them?

12:56.050 --> 13:00.450
What is this nonsense that the Roman
Catholic Church gave us the Bible?

13:01.930 --> 13:04.010
It's just simply that, nonsense.

13:05.850 --> 13:09.790
Now Peter acknowledges Paul's writings to
be scripture.

13:10.950 --> 13:15.070
So has apparently the entire body of
believers at this time.

13:15.810 --> 13:22.030
The other scriptures, by that time,
would have included most of the remainder

13:22.030 --> 13:22.930
of the New Testament.

13:23.950 --> 13:28.730
Furthermore, these books were so readily
available and well-known by common

13:28.730 --> 13:36.290
consensus, already at this early date,
about 66 AD, that Peter didn't even need

13:36.290 --> 13:37.310
to name the books.

13:38.590 --> 13:42.790
Christians knew what writings were
inspired of God, but in the same way,

13:43.290 --> 13:49.450
a native in the jungle knows that the
gospel is true, by the convicting power of

13:49.450 --> 13:50.330
the Holy Spirit.

13:51.750 --> 13:57.030
Tragically, Roman Catholicism not only
teaches that the church hierarchy alone

13:57.030 --> 14:02.110
can interpret the Bible, but that no one
can believe it without the church

14:02.110 --> 14:04.030
attesting to its authenticity.

14:05.550 --> 14:09.990
Keating suggests that the gospel itself
has no power without this endorsement.

14:09.990 --> 14:17.270
He quotes Roman Catholic Saint Augustine,
I would not believe in the gospel if the

14:17.270 --> 14:20.510
authority of the Roman Catholic Church did
not move me to do so.

14:21.810 --> 14:30.350
If that's true, then no one prior to the
Third Council of Carthage in 397 AD could

14:30.350 --> 14:32.770
have believed or preached the gospel.

14:33.890 --> 14:37.910
Yet the gospel was preached from the very
beginning.

14:38.870 --> 14:42.030
Paul turned the world upside down with the
gospel.

14:42.230 --> 14:44.350
See Acts 17, verse 6.

14:45.230 --> 14:51.630
Within the first two centuries,
just two centuries, about 10% of the Roman

14:51.630 --> 14:59.310
Empire became Christians, and studied,
meditated upon, believed, and were led

14:59.310 --> 15:04.830
both by the Old and the New Testament
Scriptures, exactly as we have them today.

15:05.830 --> 15:11.570
If they could know what books were
inspired, if they, those early Christians,

15:12.770 --> 15:17.970
could know what books were inspired and
could be guided by them without the

15:17.970 --> 15:24.030
authenticating stamp of the Roman Catholic
Church, which didn't even exist then,

15:25.130 --> 15:26.710
then so can we today.

15:27.830 --> 15:33.430
The absurdity and destructiveness of the
view that God's word must have Rome's

15:33.430 --> 15:36.190
endorsement is immediately apparent.

15:37.610 --> 15:44.950
It is a blasphemous denial that the gospel
in itself has power to save, or that the

15:44.950 --> 15:49.690
Holy Spirit can use the Bible to speak
directly to hearers' hearts.

15:50.990 --> 15:55.710
Under this view, one must first prove that
the Roman Catholic Church is the one true

15:55.710 --> 16:00.390
church, that it is infallible,
that it says the Bible is true,

16:00.390 --> 16:03.930
and that therefore the Bible and the
gospel must be believed.

16:04.790 --> 16:07.090
Only then can the gospel be preached.

16:08.210 --> 16:09.410
How absurd!

16:10.390 --> 16:15.590
Yet to a Catholic, this view makes perfect
sense, because the church is the vehicle

16:15.590 --> 16:17.410
of salvation, they are told.

16:18.990 --> 16:23.910
One's eternal destiny depends not upon
one's relationship to Christ, who is

16:23.910 --> 16:29.370
revealed in His word, but upon one's
relationship to that Roman Catholic

16:29.370 --> 16:33.550
Church, and participation in its
sacraments.

16:34.590 --> 16:37.870
This theory, of course, is refuted by the
Bible itself.

16:38.890 --> 16:43.410
Christ and His disciples preached the
gospel before any church was established.

16:44.510 --> 16:49.470
Early in His ministry, before even saying
anything about establishing His church,

16:49.470 --> 16:54.950
Christ sent His disciples forth,
and they departed, and went through the

16:54.950 --> 16:57.090
towns, preaching the gospel.

16:57.830 --> 17:00.010
Luke chapter 9, verse 6.

17:00.870 --> 17:05.790
Eleven times in the four gospels,
we are told that Christ and His disciples

17:05.790 --> 17:13.850
were engaged in preaching the gospel,
a gospel which is the power of God unto

17:13.850 --> 17:17.390
salvation, to those who believe.

17:17.390 --> 17:20.030
Romans chapter 1, verse 16.

17:21.090 --> 17:26.290
Yet, there was no Roman Catholic Church in
existence to verify that the gospel was

17:26.290 --> 17:32.190
true, nor does today's preaching need
Rome's endorsement any more than it did in

17:32.190 --> 17:32.730
the beginning.

17:34.330 --> 17:39.910
Three thousand souls were saved on the day
of Pentecost, without Peter saying one

17:39.910 --> 17:45.170
word about an infallible church,
putting its approval on what he preached.

17:45.950 --> 17:51.750
Even after Pentecost, we find no attempt
by Christians who, quote, went everywhere

17:51.750 --> 17:57.330
preaching the word, Acts chapter 8,
verse 4, to prove that an infallible

17:57.330 --> 17:59.570
church existed and endorsed the gospel.

18:00.890 --> 18:06.290
We read of the preaching of Philip in
Samaria, and of Paul in many places,

18:06.850 --> 18:12.410
where multitudes believed, yet not once is
the gospel supported by the statement that

18:12.410 --> 18:17.250
Christ established an infallible church,
and that the bishops of his church had put

18:17.250 --> 18:21.190
their official stamp of approval upon what
was being preached.

18:22.130 --> 18:27.390
If the endorsement of the Roman Catholic
Church wasn't needed then, neither is it

18:27.390 --> 18:28.370
needed now.

18:28.830 --> 18:34.990
For the word of God is, quote,
living and powerful, a discerner of the

18:34.990 --> 18:36.610
thoughts and intents of the heart.

18:37.270 --> 18:39.430
Hebrews chapter 4, verse 12.

18:40.590 --> 18:49.110
We have the sufficiency of the scriptures
to guide us, quote, show us one verse in

18:49.110 --> 18:56.310
the Bible that clearly declares sola
scriptura, that the Bible is sufficient in

18:56.310 --> 19:02.630
itself, unquote, is the specious challenge
thrown out by Roman Catholic apologists.

19:03.450 --> 19:09.090
One might as well demand, quote,
just one verse that states that God is a

19:09.090 --> 19:12.850
triune being of Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, unquote.

19:13.510 --> 19:15.670
No single verse says so.

19:16.550 --> 19:20.930
Yet the doctrine of the Trinity is
accepted by both Catholics and Protestants

19:20.930 --> 19:21.730
as biblical.

19:22.930 --> 19:27.890
Nor is there a single verse which contains
the words, quote, the Bible is sufficient,

19:28.250 --> 19:28.610
unquote.

19:29.430 --> 19:33.470
However, when we put together the many
verses in the Bible on this topic,

19:33.470 --> 19:39.770
it is clear that the Bible teaches its own
sufficiency, both to authenticate itself

19:39.770 --> 19:45.410
to the reader and to lead to spiritual
maturity and effectiveness all who are

19:45.410 --> 19:49.210
indwelt by the Holy Spirit and read it
with open hearts.

19:50.130 --> 19:56.150
Paul declared that scripture was given for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction,

19:56.610 --> 20:01.990
for instruction in righteousness,
and that the Bible itself makes the man or

20:01.990 --> 20:08.270
woman of God perfect, that is,
mature, complete, all that God intended,

20:09.310 --> 20:16.470
thoroughly furnished and equipped unto all
good works, 2 Timothy 3, verse 16 and 17.

20:17.230 --> 20:22.590
In other words, the Bible contains all the
doctrine, all the correction, all the

20:22.590 --> 20:27.890
instruction in righteousness that is
needed for those who heed it to become

20:27.890 --> 20:29.550
complete in Christ.

20:30.690 --> 20:35.630
Catholic apologist, quote, 19th century
cardinal John Henry Newman to the effect

20:35.630 --> 20:41.530
that if this passage proves the above,
then it, quote, proves too much,

20:41.810 --> 20:47.490
unquote, that, quote, the Old Testament
alone would be sufficient as a rule of

20:47.490 --> 20:53.930
faith, the New Testament unnecessary,
unquote, because all Timothy had was the

20:53.930 --> 20:54.650
Old Testament.

20:55.350 --> 20:58.670
The argument is fallacious for several
reasons.

20:58.830 --> 21:02.670
First of all, Timothy had more than the
Old Testament.

21:03.810 --> 21:10.130
This is Paul's second epistle to him,
so he has at least two epistles from Paul

21:10.130 --> 21:11.790
in addition to the Old Testament.

21:12.930 --> 21:18.590
Paul goes on to say that he is about to be
martyred in 2 Timothy 4, verse 6-8,

21:19.030 --> 21:23.110
making it this the last epistle Paul
wrote.

21:23.110 --> 21:27.370
So Timothy obviously has all of Paul's
epistles.

21:28.470 --> 21:35.510
The date is probably around 66 AD,
so he also has the first three gospels and

21:35.510 --> 21:37.590
most of the rest of the New Testament.

21:38.690 --> 21:44.570
Furthermore, when Paul says all scripture,
it is clear that he means the entire

21:44.570 --> 21:48.310
Bible, not merely that which had been
written up to that time.

21:49.310 --> 21:55.470
Similar expressions are often used in
scripture, but they never mean only the

21:55.470 --> 21:57.210
Bible written to that time.

21:58.110 --> 22:04.530
When Jesus said, quote, The word that I
have spoken, the same shall judge him in

22:04.530 --> 22:05.430
the last day.

22:05.870 --> 22:08.090
John chapter 12, verse 48.

22:09.050 --> 22:13.230
He didn't mean only what he had spoken to
that time.

22:14.210 --> 22:19.910
Likewise, when he said, quote,
Thy word is truth, John 17, 17,

22:20.770 --> 22:26.930
he obviously meant all of God's word,
though all had not yet been written.

22:28.050 --> 22:33.030
When the writer of the Hebrews said,
quote, The word of God is living and

22:33.030 --> 22:35.890
powerful, sharper than any two-edged
sword.

22:36.670 --> 22:41.790
He didn't mean only that part of the word
of God that had been written to that time,

22:41.790 --> 22:49.430
nor did Paul by, quote, All scripture,
unquote, mean only that which had been

22:49.430 --> 22:50.970
written to that time.

22:51.870 --> 22:53.730
He clearly meant all scripture.

22:55.070 --> 22:58.950
So Cardinal Newman was wrong, and naively
so.

22:59.890 --> 23:05.230
Yet Catholic apologists confidently quote
his folly to disprove the sufficiency of

23:05.230 --> 23:05.650
scripture.

23:06.950 --> 23:13.730
Quote, that the man of God be perfect,
unquote, simply means that the word of God

23:13.730 --> 23:20.090
is all one needs to be perfect,
in the sense of being mature, and all that

23:20.090 --> 23:22.250
God wants a Christian to be.

23:23.530 --> 23:27.970
Catholic apologists refer to other verses
where the word perfect is used,

23:28.070 --> 23:33.770
such as, quote, If you would be perfect,
sell all that you have and give to the

23:33.770 --> 23:34.810
poor, unquote.

23:35.330 --> 23:40.070
Or, quote, let patience have its perfect
work.

23:40.070 --> 23:44.150
That ye may be perfect and entire,
et cetera.

23:45.730 --> 23:53.030
Then they contend that if it be argued
from 2 Timothy 3, verse 17, that the Bible

23:53.030 --> 23:58.950
is sufficient to perfect believers,
then selling everyone one has and giving

23:58.950 --> 24:05.210
it to the poor, or being patient,
is also sufficient to make one perfect.

24:06.250 --> 24:08.050
Again, the argument fails.

24:08.990 --> 24:13.910
Suppose an athletic trainer offers a
perfect diet, with all the nutritional

24:13.910 --> 24:16.670
elements one needs to produce a perfect
body.

24:17.530 --> 24:22.630
This doesn't mean that other things,
such as exercise, aren't necessary.

24:23.670 --> 24:24.550
See the reasoning?

24:25.290 --> 24:29.150
We'll continue with the reading and
discussion of the book, A Woman Rides a

24:29.150 --> 24:30.310
Beast, by Dave Hunt.

24:30.670 --> 24:33.930
When we get back from the break,
you're listening to Inquisition Update on

24:33.930 --> 24:35.050
First Amendment Radio.

24:35.190 --> 24:36.150

Built.

25:27.520 --> 25:32.440
That's CrossTheBorder.org When it comes to
prophecy today, much of the Evangelical

25:32.440 --> 25:37.300
Christian world has their eyes on Israel,
waiting and watching to see when the Third

25:37.300 --> 25:38.620
Temple will begin to be built.

25:39.320 --> 25:40.380
The plans are drawn.

25:40.520 --> 25:41.820
The Jewish people are eager.

25:42.440 --> 25:46.160
Most Evangelical Christians today believe
that the rapture will happen before the

25:46.160 --> 25:47.140
Third Temple is built.

25:47.600 --> 25:49.100
Hi, I'm Michael Eugene.

25:49.100 --> 25:52.320
I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was
in the future.

25:52.620 --> 25:54.560
Is that really what the Bible teaches?

25:55.200 --> 25:58.160
Have we searched the Scriptures and found
this to be true?

25:58.880 --> 26:02.460
Why is it so important for a
re-established Israel to build a Third

26:02.460 --> 26:03.320
Temple in Jerusalem?

26:03.880 --> 26:08.560
Is it necessary to build a Temple on the
same location already occupied by the Dome

26:08.560 --> 26:09.220
of the Rocks?

26:09.620 --> 26:13.600
Is it necessary for sacrifices to take
place in the Temple on Temple Mount?

26:14.220 --> 26:17.400
Is there really a rapture followed by
seven years of tribulation?

26:17.400 --> 26:19.700
What is the New Testament Temple?

26:20.520 --> 26:22.640
Can we identify history and prophecy?

26:23.360 --> 26:26.400
Who is the first beast in Revelation
Chapter 13?

26:26.920 --> 26:29.640
Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17?

26:30.340 --> 26:33.720
I have asked all these questions,
and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new

26:33.720 --> 26:38.840
book, When the Third Temple is Built,
answers all these questions and more using

26:38.840 --> 26:40.420
Scripture to interpret Scripture.

26:41.020 --> 26:44.560
The Bible says that no prophecy of
Scripture is of any private

26:44.560 --> 26:45.300
interpretation.

26:46.020 --> 26:48.980
Nicholas shows us in his new book,
When the Third Temple is Built,

26:49.160 --> 26:53.660
how the Bible interprets prophecy and not
man's private interpretation.

of Inquisition Update on First Amendment

28:05.380 --> 28:05.820
Radio.

28:05.820 --> 28:10.680
Did you hear the spot that says,
not commercially viable?

28:11.560 --> 28:13.380
That's Inquisition Update.

28:13.540 --> 28:16.160
The rare truth just isn't commercially
viable.

28:16.960 --> 28:24.060
That means, well, the big givers can't
support this truth.

28:24.800 --> 28:26.400
It's just too controversial.

28:27.440 --> 28:32.460
And so, it's up to the little people,
those who love the truth, to support the

28:32.460 --> 28:32.700
truth.

28:32.700 --> 28:36.660
If you'd like to support the truth,
please support First Amendment Radio,

28:36.860 --> 28:38.580
who sponsors Inquisition Update.

28:39.780 --> 28:42.180
Now, back to the book, Sola Scriptura.

28:43.500 --> 28:48.000
Speaking of these empty arguments by the
Roman Catholic Church.

28:48.260 --> 28:51.840
Their authority to canonize the
Scriptures.

28:52.720 --> 28:55.780
Their authority to authenticate God's
Word.

28:56.100 --> 28:58.280
I mean, it's ridiculous on its face.

28:59.600 --> 29:02.120
It is absurd on its face.

29:02.120 --> 29:05.800
More, it is diabolical on its face.

29:07.020 --> 29:09.320
Again, the argument fails.

29:10.660 --> 29:15.060
Suppose an athletic trainer offers a
perfect diet with all the nutritional

29:15.060 --> 29:17.900
elements one needs to produce a perfect
body.

29:18.960 --> 29:25.280
This doesn't mean that the other things,
such as exercise, aren't necessary.

29:26.440 --> 29:31.080
Paul is saying that the doctrine,
reproof, correction, and instruction in

29:31.080 --> 29:37.600
righteousness contained in the Scripture
is sufficient teaching for the man or the

29:37.600 --> 29:42.580
woman of God to be all that God desires of
them.

29:43.520 --> 29:49.780
This does not mean that one doesn't have
to exercise patience, faith, obedience,

29:49.980 --> 29:53.980
and charity, etc., which themselves are
taught by the Scripture.

29:53.980 --> 30:01.800
It does mean that in the area of doctrine,
reproof, correction, and instruction in

30:01.800 --> 30:08.720
righteousness, the Bible needs no
supplementation from tradition or any

30:08.720 --> 30:09.760
other source.

30:10.780 --> 30:16.800
Moreover, the Apostle Paul goes on to say
that the man or the woman of God is,

30:17.040 --> 30:22.520
by the Scriptures themselves,
"...thoroughly prepared unto every good

30:22.520 --> 30:28.320
work." The Bible never makes such a
statement about patience, or love,

30:28.420 --> 30:31.500
or charity, or tradition, or anything
else.

30:32.480 --> 30:36.780
Paul is clearly teaching sola scriptura.

30:37.780 --> 30:41.500
This doctrine was not invented by the
Protestant Reformers.

30:42.120 --> 30:44.260
They derived it from Scripture.

30:46.100 --> 30:47.940
What's the central issue?

30:48.900 --> 30:50.020
A clear choice.

30:51.300 --> 30:57.820
When Thomas Howard, brother of Elizabeth
Elliot, wife of martyred missionary Jim

30:57.820 --> 31:03.000
Elliot, became a Catholic, Gordon College
removed him from its faculty.

31:04.000 --> 31:09.460
Among the reasons given was the fact that
the Statement of Faith, which all faculty

31:09.460 --> 31:16.020
had to sign, affirmed the Bible as,
quote, "...the only infallible guide in

31:16.020 --> 31:17.860
faith and practice." Unquote.

31:18.560 --> 31:21.120
Impossible for a Roman Catholic to sign.

31:22.680 --> 31:27.780
Howard acknowledged that, quote,
The sole authority of Scripture is a

31:27.780 --> 31:33.020
principle unique to Protestantism,
and that he, as a Roman Catholic,

31:33.440 --> 31:35.620
could not subscribe to it.

31:36.020 --> 31:36.480
Unquote.

31:37.720 --> 31:43.020
Sola scriptura remains the central issue
at heart of the Protestant Reformation.

31:43.800 --> 31:49.340
One must choose between submitting to the
authority of the Bible, or to that of the

31:49.340 --> 31:50.220
Roman Catholic Church.

31:50.320 --> 31:51.800
You can't have it both ways.

31:52.800 --> 31:57.120
One cannot do both because of the clear
conflict between the two.

31:58.100 --> 32:01.280
The choice one must make is obvious.

32:02.260 --> 32:07.800
Blind submission to any earthly hierarchy
in itself contradicts the Bible.

32:08.680 --> 32:13.100
Moreover, we have given more than
sufficient evidence, more than sufficient

32:13.100 --> 32:17.580
evidence from history to show that the
Roman Catholic Church, from the Pope right

32:17.580 --> 32:23.320
on down, has forfeited any claim it may
ever have had to be trusted.

32:24.200 --> 32:29.920
The most tragic consequence of the blind
faith in their church is the sole

32:29.920 --> 32:34.660
interpreter of the Word of God for
mankind, is that hundreds of millions of

32:34.660 --> 32:39.420
Roman Catholics consequently trust it for
their eternal destiny.

32:40.180 --> 32:46.200
The question of salvation, therefore,
is also a key issue necessarily separating

32:46.200 --> 32:49.360
Roman Catholics and Evangelicals.

32:51.380 --> 32:53.360
The message is clear.

32:55.060 --> 33:03.520
There is no legitimate ecumenical reunion
between Protestantism and Roman

33:03.520 --> 33:04.400
Catholicism.

33:04.760 --> 33:07.220
They are mutually exclusive events.

33:08.080 --> 33:12.300
So what you get when you ecumenically
reunite with the Roman Catholic Church?

33:13.050 --> 33:22.440
You have put yourself under another
master, and one which with God will not

33:22.440 --> 33:24.300
share space.

33:26.140 --> 33:33.340
You've essentially rejected the God of the
Protestants, the God of the Bible,

33:34.320 --> 33:39.880
and you've accepted the authority of the
God of this world, Satan himself.

33:42.640 --> 33:47.400
Now we'll continue to chapter 23 entitled,
A Question of Salvation.

33:48.120 --> 33:52.160
This gets right to the heart of the issue,
and before we begin we'll read the quotes

33:52.160 --> 33:53.420
on the previous page.

33:54.580 --> 33:59.680
This from Galatians chapter 1,
verse 8, chapter 2, verse 16.

34:00.720 --> 34:06.060
Though we or an angel from heaven preach
any other gospel unto you than that which

34:06.060 --> 34:09.700
we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed.

34:10.840 --> 34:17.380
A man is not justified by the works of the
law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.

34:18.440 --> 34:22.300
For by the works of the law shall no flesh
be justified.

34:24.200 --> 34:26.620
Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8 and 9.

34:27.400 --> 34:33.180
For by grace are ye saved, through faith,
and that not of yourselves.

34:33.720 --> 34:38.900
It is a gift of God, not of works,
lest any man should boast.

34:40.500 --> 34:42.120
From the Council of Trent.

34:43.080 --> 34:46.040
The Counter-Reformation Council of Trent.

34:46.720 --> 34:50.980
The Jesuit-led Counter-Reformation Council
of Trent.

34:51.620 --> 34:52.840
Session 7.

34:53.860 --> 35:00.260
Quote, If anyone says that the sacraments
of the new law, that is of the Roman

35:00.260 --> 35:06.900
Catholic Church, are not necessary for
salvation, but that without them,

35:07.380 --> 35:14.140
men obtained from God through faith alone,
the grace of justification, let him be

35:14.140 --> 35:15.000
anathema.

35:15.620 --> 35:17.360
Let him be accursed.

35:19.180 --> 35:20.500
Here, another quote.

35:20.960 --> 35:23.320
This one from Second Vatican Council.

35:23.440 --> 35:26.700
Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of
Indulgences.

35:27.640 --> 35:34.180
Quote, From the most ancient times in the
Church, good works were also offered to

35:34.180 --> 35:36.120
God for the salvation of sinners.

35:37.060 --> 35:42.320
By the prayers and good works of holy
people, the penitent was washed,

35:42.800 --> 35:44.560
cleansed, and redeemed.

35:45.640 --> 35:50.900
Following in Christ's steps, those who
believe in Him have always carried their

35:50.900 --> 35:56.520
crosses to make expiation for their own
sins and for the sins of others,

35:56.520 --> 36:00.960
to help their brothers to obtain salvation
from God.

36:01.700 --> 36:02.180
Unquote.

36:04.160 --> 36:06.900
See the two different sources of
salvation?

36:08.360 --> 36:11.120
One is godly, Protestant.

36:12.140 --> 36:16.160
The other is Roman Catholic, Antichrist.

36:17.760 --> 36:19.480
A question of salvation.

36:21.500 --> 36:28.120
Sacred tradition and sacred scripture make
up a single sacred deposit of the Word of

36:28.120 --> 36:30.320
God, says Vatican Council 2.

36:31.300 --> 36:37.340
When it's tradition and the Bible
conflict, Rome goes by tradition.

36:38.840 --> 36:43.120
Thereby is created the widest difference
between Protestants and Catholics.

36:43.780 --> 36:45.220
The question of salvation.

36:46.660 --> 36:52.480
That vast chasm of division, recognized
for 400 years by both Protestants and

36:52.480 --> 36:58.640
Catholics, neither of whom has changed
basic beliefs, is now denied by leading

36:58.640 --> 36:59.960
evangelicals.

37:00.760 --> 37:05.260
Charles Colson, for example, in response
to questions concerning his embracing

37:05.260 --> 37:12.140
Catholics as Christians, says,
quote, We have differences, but on the

37:12.140 --> 37:16.800
ancient creeds and the core beliefs of
Christianity, we stand together.

37:17.140 --> 37:17.680
Unquote.

37:18.340 --> 37:20.400
Not so, says Dave Hunt.

37:21.200 --> 37:27.200
Agreement on the creeds, yes, but the
creeds say nothing about how one is saved.

37:28.300 --> 37:32.040
Salvation is the one most important core
belief in Christianity.

37:33.240 --> 37:37.540
And on that point, the differences between
evangelicals and Roman Catholics is as

37:37.540 --> 37:42.140
great as the difference between eternal
life and eternal judgment.

37:43.720 --> 37:45.700
The saved and the unsaved.

37:46.700 --> 37:49.720
The Bible says there are two classes of
people.

37:49.720 --> 37:54.780
Those who are saved and those who are
unsaved or lost.

37:55.760 --> 38:01.040
Christ himself declared that his mission
was to save a world of lost people.

38:01.680 --> 38:06.600
Quote, The Son of Man has come to seek and
to save that which was lost.

38:07.120 --> 38:09.000
Luke chapter 19 verse 10.

38:10.000 --> 38:12.840
Quote, I came to save the world.

38:13.440 --> 38:13.800
Unquote.

38:14.240 --> 38:16.340
John chapter 12 verse 47.

38:17.580 --> 38:18.660
God sent him.

38:18.660 --> 38:23.780
Quote, That the world might through him be
saved.

38:24.220 --> 38:26.480
John chapter 3 verse 17.

38:27.740 --> 38:28.660
Paul testified.

38:29.240 --> 38:33.200
Quote, Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners.

38:33.900 --> 38:35.800
First Timothy 1.15.

38:36.940 --> 38:38.200
Save them from what?

38:39.460 --> 38:43.680
From the judgment of God eternally
separating them from God's presence

38:43.680 --> 38:44.800
because of sin.

38:45.820 --> 38:52.760
Quote, He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life, and he that believeth

38:52.760 --> 38:58.100
not the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

38:58.680 --> 39:00.680
John chapter 3 verse 36.

39:02.460 --> 39:09.320
Quote, In flaming fire, taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey

39:09.320 --> 39:14.780
not the gospel, who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence

39:14.780 --> 39:19.660
of the Lord, that they all might be damned
who believe not the truth.

39:20.300 --> 39:25.320
2 Thessalonians chapter 1 verse 8 and 9
and chapter 2 verse 12.

39:27.660 --> 39:34.040
Whosoever was not written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire.

39:34.700 --> 39:37.240
Revelation chapter 20 verse 15.

39:38.940 --> 39:44.340
The gospel declares, quote, that Christ
died for our sins according to the

39:44.340 --> 39:48.820
scriptures, and that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day.

39:49.380 --> 39:51.500
1 Corinthians 15, 3 and 4.

39:53.000 --> 39:58.080
Evangelicals believe the gospel not merely
as a fact of history, but as offering them

39:58.080 --> 40:03.100
forgiveness for their sins and eternal
life as a free gift of God's grace.

40:04.140 --> 40:10.160
Paul said, this is the gospel,
quote, by which also ye are saved,

40:10.560 --> 40:10.940
unquote.

40:11.080 --> 40:13.400
1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse 2.

40:14.240 --> 40:18.420
On that basis, the evangelical knows he is
saved.

40:20.800 --> 40:26.940
One, quote, gets saved, unquote,
the moment one believes the gospel.

40:28.280 --> 40:31.220
To the earnest cry, what must I do to be
saved?

40:31.500 --> 40:37.440
According to Acts chapter 16 verse 30,
Paul responded, quote, believe on the Lord

40:37.440 --> 40:40.280
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.

40:40.620 --> 40:41.380
Verse 31.

40:42.080 --> 40:43.000
It's that simple.

40:44.040 --> 40:49.820
The moment faith is placed in Christ,
one is saved, never to be lost again.

40:50.980 --> 40:57.100
One has, quote, passed from death unto
life, unquote, and is no longer under

40:57.100 --> 40:57.960
God's judgment.

40:58.440 --> 41:00.220
John chapter 5 verse 24.

41:01.600 --> 41:03.220
Heaven is now one's home.

41:03.220 --> 41:08.920
And death means to be, quote, absent from
the body and present with the Lord.

41:09.340 --> 41:11.160
2 Corinthians 5.8.

41:11.820 --> 41:17.520
The Bible says, quote, for God so loved
the world that he gave his only begotten

41:17.520 --> 41:25.600
Son that whosoever believeth in him shall
not perish but have everlasting life.

41:26.880 --> 41:34.120
I am the door, said Jesus, by me if any
man enter he shall be saved.

41:35.860 --> 41:45.020
My sheep hear my voice and I know them and
they follow me and I give unto them

41:45.020 --> 41:53.920
eternal life and they shall never perish
unto us which are saved.

41:57.180 --> 42:02.360
It pleased God by the foolishness of
preaching to save them that believe.

42:02.360 --> 42:05.660
By which also ye are saved.

42:06.540 --> 42:08.940
By grace are ye saved.

42:10.300 --> 42:12.400
Who will have all men to be saved?

42:13.080 --> 42:14.800
Who hath saved us?

42:16.220 --> 42:19.620
According to his mercy he saved us.

42:20.720 --> 42:23.000
The nations of them which are saved.

42:24.680 --> 42:27.360
All of these things are from God's book.

42:28.300 --> 42:29.220
The Bible.

42:30.440 --> 42:36.960
And what Roman Catholic priest could ever
say, ye are saved?

42:37.980 --> 42:39.460
Not one!

42:41.840 --> 42:48.800
Because they know that even after death
the one who dies must go to purgatory to

42:48.800 --> 42:58.540
keep purging his sins and only then can
they go to heaven if their sins can be

42:58.540 --> 42:59.300
purged away.

42:59.800 --> 43:02.240
There is no salvation in the Roman
Catholic Church.

43:02.620 --> 43:08.960
There is never in any Roman Catholic's
life according to Roman Catholic teaching

43:08.960 --> 43:14.000
if they believe what the Roman Catholic
Church teaches there is not one period of

43:14.000 --> 43:18.820
time in the Roman Catholic's life from
cradle to grave that he is ever assured of

43:18.820 --> 43:19.420
salvation.

43:20.580 --> 43:27.400
Continuing on page 349 of the book It says
the Evangelical believes that having

43:27.400 --> 43:34.700
accepted Christ's offer of pardon and
eternal life he is a Christian born of the

43:34.700 --> 43:41.180
Holy Spirit into God's family he is
certain that as a child of God he will

43:41.180 --> 43:49.560
never perish John chapter 10 verse 28 nor
quote come into condemnation John chapter

43:49.560 --> 43:56.660
5 verse 24 His salvation is secure,
because by God's wonderful grace,

43:57.100 --> 44:00.180
Christ's death paid the penalty for his
sins.

44:00.740 --> 44:03.460
So says God's word, quote,

44:25.940 --> 44:33.300
And this is the record, that God hath
given to us eternal life, and this life is

44:33.300 --> 44:34.180
in his Son.

44:35.300 --> 44:41.780
He that hath the Son hath life,
and he that hath not the Son of God hath

44:41.780 --> 44:42.560
not life.

44:43.500 --> 44:47.740
These things have I written unto you,
that ye believe on the name of the Son of

44:47.740 --> 44:54.340
God, that ye may know that ye have eternal
life, and that ye may believe on the name

44:54.340 --> 44:55.540
of the Son of God.

44:56.160 --> 45:01.740
1 John 5 verse 10-13 What a wonderful
salvation!

45:02.040 --> 45:03.540
What a wonderful assurance!

45:04.660 --> 45:11.840
No Roman Catholic, no Roman Catholic has
that assurance.

45:14.420 --> 45:18.300
The evangelical goal, salvation of
sinners.

45:19.840 --> 45:26.480
While growing up in an evangelical home
and church, one may believe the gospel

45:26.480 --> 45:31.240
intellectually from a child, yet realize
he has not yet saved.

45:32.340 --> 45:36.960
Merely mentally assent to all that the
Bible says does not save.

45:37.660 --> 45:41.420
One must personally receive Christ as
Savior.

45:42.860 --> 45:45.600
In that act of faith, one is saved.

45:46.200 --> 45:49.580
Quote, For by grace are ye saved,
through faith.

45:50.000 --> 45:54.500
Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 Everything is
now different.

45:55.200 --> 45:57.460
One has become a new creature in Christ.

45:57.460 --> 45:59.820
Old things are passed away.

46:00.360 --> 46:02.460
Behold, all things are become new.

46:03.060 --> 46:08.560
2 Corinthians 5 verse 17 The person is now
saved.

46:09.040 --> 46:13.500
A member of the universal church,
not through joining a Baptist or a

46:13.500 --> 46:18.960
Lutheran or a Methodist or a Catholic or
any other church, but through the Spirit

46:18.960 --> 46:22.000
of God having placed him in the body of
Christ.

46:22.940 --> 46:27.700
Quote, The Lord added to the church daily,
such as should be saved.

46:28.180 --> 46:35.240
Acts chapter 2 verse 47 Quote,
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into

46:35.240 --> 46:39.300
one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles.

46:39.660 --> 46:47.140
1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 13 This is
the good news of the gospel.

46:48.540 --> 46:53.440
Christ told his disciples to, quote,
go into all the world and preach the

46:53.440 --> 46:53.900
gospel.

46:54.360 --> 47:00.280
Mark chapter 16 verse 15 So that his
mission of saving sinners would be

47:00.280 --> 47:00.820
accomplished.

47:01.660 --> 47:06.420
The primary goal of evangelicals is to
preach the gospel to the lost,

47:06.500 --> 47:08.260
so that they might be saved.

47:09.200 --> 47:13.680
Peter said, we, quote, must be saved,
unquote.

47:14.180 --> 47:21.420
Acts chapter 4 verse 12 Through Jesus,
since there is no other way of salvation.

47:22.720 --> 47:31.420
Paul's passion for his fellow Jews was,
quote, that they might be saved.

47:32.140 --> 47:39.300
Romans chapter 10 verse 1 Such is the
desire of the evangelical for all mankind,

47:40.020 --> 47:41.660
including Roman Catholics.

47:42.800 --> 47:45.580
Come out of her, my people.

47:46.080 --> 47:48.220
Come out of the Roman Catholic Church.

47:48.540 --> 47:50.360
Come out of the ecumenical movement.

47:51.220 --> 47:52.920
And be united with Christ.

47:54.240 --> 47:57.200
Come out of her, before it's too late.

50:09.600 --> 50:09.940
Built.

50:10.300 --> 50:15.060
That's crosstheborder.org When it comes to
prophecy today, much of the evangelical

50:15.060 --> 50:20.060
Christian world has their eyes on Israel,
waiting and watching to see when the Third

50:20.060 --> 50:21.360
Temple will begin to be built.

50:21.860 --> 50:23.140
The plans are drawn.

50:23.280 --> 50:24.580
The Jewish people are eager.

50:24.580 --> 50:28.920
Most evangelical Christians today believe
that the rapture will happen before the

50:28.920 --> 50:29.900
Third Temple is built.

50:30.200 --> 50:31.880
Hi, I'm Michael Eugene.

50:32.420 --> 50:35.060
I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was
in the future.

50:35.700 --> 50:37.320
Is that really what the Bible teaches?

50:37.960 --> 50:40.900
Have we searched the scriptures and found
this to be true?

50:41.600 --> 50:45.240
Why is it so important for a
re-established Israel to build a Third

50:45.240 --> 50:46.100
Temple in Jerusalem?

50:46.580 --> 50:51.340
Is it necessary to build a temple on the
same location already occupied by the Dome

50:51.340 --> 50:51.800
of the Rock?

50:51.800 --> 50:56.400
Is it necessary for sacrifices to take
place in the temple on Temple Mount?

50:56.920 --> 51:00.200
Is there really a rapture followed by
seven years of tribulation?

51:01.000 --> 51:02.440
What is the New Testament Temple?

51:03.200 --> 51:05.400
Can we identify history and prophecy?

51:06.240 --> 51:09.160
Who is the first beast in Revelation
chapter 13?

51:09.920 --> 51:12.400
Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17?

51:13.100 --> 51:16.760
I have asked all these questions and I
have found Nicholas Arthur's new book,

51:16.760 --> 51:21.620
When the Third Temple is Built,
answers all these questions and more using

51:21.620 --> 51:23.240
Scripture to interpret Scripture.

51:23.840 --> 51:27.340
The Bible says that no prophecy of
Scripture is of any private

51:27.340 --> 51:28.060
interpretation.

51:28.880 --> 51:31.760
Nicholas shows us in his new book,
When the Third Temple is Built,

51:32.120 --> 51:36.420
how the Bible interprets prophecy and not
man's private interpretation.
