WEBVTT 00:25.670 --> 00:27.710 Welcome to Inquisition Update. 00:27.890 --> 00:30.750 My name is Tom Friess, and I'll be your host for the next hour. 00:31.030 --> 00:33.690 You're listening to FirstAmendmentRadio .com. 00:33.810 --> 00:35.150 Thanks for tuning in, everybody. 00:36.150 --> 00:40.650 I'm going to proceed now where we left off in the book, A Woman Rides the Beast by 00:40.650 --> 00:41.590 David Hunt. 00:42.470 --> 00:46.290 I'm going to start with the quote that we ended with yesterday. 00:46.290 --> 00:52.690 We're still talking about the sacrifice of the Mass, where it is taught in the Roman 00:52.690 --> 00:58.010 Catholic Church that participation of the Mass is a literal sacrifice. 00:59.130 --> 01:03.250 A sacrifice just like that of the cross. 01:04.750 --> 01:09.210 And that the eating of the bread in the Eucharist is the eating of the literal 01:09.210 --> 01:14.250 blood and body and soul and divinity of Christ. 01:14.250 --> 01:22.630 In order to achieve eternal life, in order to obtain, or in order to merit 01:22.630 --> 01:23.790 eternal life. 01:24.590 --> 01:30.810 This is the great abomination, the central theme of Roman Catholicism. 01:31.610 --> 01:38.770 This is blasphemy, it's idolatry, it's ghastly in its teaching. 01:38.770 --> 01:43.970 And this is what led the Protestant Reformation to come out of the Roman 01:43.970 --> 01:48.590 Catholic Church, when they realized the false doctrines taught in the Roman 01:48.590 --> 01:50.710 Catholic Church, particularly about the Mass. 01:51.690 --> 01:55.630 And not only the Mass, but the Mass is what we're talking about. 01:55.770 --> 02:00.010 We're beginning at the bottom of page 379, if you're following along in your own copy 02:00.010 --> 02:00.490 of the book. 02:02.010 --> 02:05.650 Consider Christ's words when he said, 02:31.950 --> 02:35.910 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. 02:36.630 --> 02:40.970 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever. 02:41.850 --> 02:48.330 And the bread that I give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the 02:48.330 --> 02:48.770 world. 02:49.450 --> 02:52.690 John chapter 6 verse 47 through 51. 02:54.310 --> 02:57.590 Now, where did Christ give his flesh? 02:58.430 --> 03:03.970 Not at the Last Supper, as Catholicism teaches, but on the cross. 03:05.530 --> 03:10.070 That interpretive error is again a fatal one. 03:10.850 --> 03:16.630 For when Christ said, quote, this is my body, this is my blood, unquote, 03:16.990 --> 03:22.690 at the Last Supper, it was literally true, it was at the Last Supper, it was 03:22.690 --> 03:27.770 literally true, then he sacrificed himself before he went to the cross. 03:30.370 --> 03:31.990 Now, does that make sense? 03:34.170 --> 03:39.350 If Christ performed the Mass, as the Roman Catholic Church teaches, at the Last 03:39.350 --> 03:46.030 Supper, then he crucified himself before he went to the cross. 03:47.410 --> 03:54.410 If the Mass that Jesus offered at the Last Supper was what Roman Catholicism says it 03:54.410 --> 03:58.470 was, then he need not go to the cross. 04:02.020 --> 04:06.460 He says this is, in fact, a strange teaching of Roman Catholicism. 04:06.660 --> 04:13.380 Quote, our Savior at the Last Supper on the night when he was betrayed instituted 04:13.380 --> 04:19.340 the Eucharistic sacrifice of his body and blood so that he might perpetuate the 04:19.340 --> 04:24.240 sacrifice of the cross throughout the centuries till his coming. 04:24.720 --> 04:25.200 Unquote. 04:26.000 --> 04:33.320 We repeat, if Christ is speaking physically of his body and blood in John 04:33.320 --> 04:38.640 6, then those who eat of him will never physically die. 04:39.660 --> 04:42.920 But all the apostles themselves are dead, are they not? 04:43.920 --> 04:50.000 If he did not mean that eating of him would prevent physical death, then neither 04:50.000 --> 04:52.620 did he refer to physically eating him. 04:53.820 --> 04:59.700 He is obviously speaking spiritually, all through that chapter, as elsewhere. 05:01.540 --> 05:06.460 Tragically, the Roman Catholic is prevented from receiving the spiritual 05:06.460 --> 05:11.720 eternal life that Christ offers by the dogma that he is speaking physically. 05:12.840 --> 05:19.080 Rome claims to control, quote, the merits Christ won, unquote, 05:20.060 --> 05:23.800 and to dispense another installment thereof each time the Catholic, 05:24.040 --> 05:28.780 so it is imagined, physically ingests Christ's literal blood and body. 05:29.940 --> 05:32.400 The mass must be repeated endlessly. 05:33.700 --> 05:35.940 It makes no sense. 05:36.880 --> 05:40.540 It makes no biblical sense and no common sense. 05:42.800 --> 05:50.000 Now, under the subtitle, Parables to the Multitudes, Dave writes, when Jesus said, 05:50.380 --> 05:55.840 quote, I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, unquote, 05:56.080 --> 05:57.620 John chapter 10, verse 9. 05:58.660 --> 06:04.160 Not even Catholics take that to mean that Christ is a physical door through which 06:04.160 --> 06:08.620 one must literally walk one's physical body to be saved. 06:10.260 --> 06:17.180 He's using this analogy to illustrate that in believing on him, one walks through a 06:17.180 --> 06:21.480 door into a new state of spiritual being, eternal life. 06:22.220 --> 06:29.000 When Jesus said, quote, I am the light of the world, he that followeth me walketh 06:29.000 --> 06:32.180 not in darkness, John 8, 12. 06:33.100 --> 06:38.820 He was not speaking of physical light, but of the spiritual light, which those 06:38.820 --> 06:44.240 who believe in him receive, in contrast to the spiritual darkness in which the world 06:44.240 --> 06:44.960 dwells. 06:46.240 --> 06:50.140 Further examples could be given, but would be superfluous. 06:51.160 --> 06:54.520 Jesus continually called mankind to believe on him. 06:55.460 --> 07:02.920 Whatever he spoke about, whether the new birth, water, sheep, shepherd, 07:03.560 --> 07:12.000 seeds, sower, plants, fruit, bread, a door, was meant to convey a spiritual 07:12.000 --> 07:17.800 truth through the physical objects of which he spoke, and was not to be taken 07:17.800 --> 07:18.300 literally. 07:19.820 --> 07:24.700 We're told specifically that whenever Jesus spoke to the multitude, he always 07:24.700 --> 07:26.620 spoke to them in parables. 07:27.320 --> 07:34.340 Quote, All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables, and without a 07:34.340 --> 07:36.800 parable spake he not unto them. 07:37.240 --> 07:37.580 Unquote. 07:38.780 --> 07:42.980 In other words, he never spoke to them but in parables. 07:44.600 --> 07:47.760 Christ was speaking to the multitude in John 6. 07:48.400 --> 07:54.020 We know, therefore, that he was, as he always did, speaking in parables, 07:54.480 --> 08:00.940 using figurative and spiritual, not literal and physical language. 08:01.480 --> 08:04.840 There are, of course, other reasons for knowing this. 08:06.140 --> 08:08.000 Further compelling arguments. 08:09.720 --> 08:14.120 It was and still is against the law for a Jew to partake of blood. 08:14.120 --> 08:22.100 See Leviticus 7.26.27, 17.10.11, etc. 08:23.400 --> 08:27.560 And under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the apostles urged Gentile 08:27.560 --> 08:33.300 believers also, as something necessary, to abstain from blood. 08:33.780 --> 08:41.680 Acts 15.28.29 Surely, then, Christ would not require Christian or Jew to drink his 08:41.680 --> 08:43.500 literal, physical blood. 08:44.620 --> 08:50.620 And eating his physical body would be cannibalism, an act he would not approve 08:50.620 --> 08:52.400 of, much less advocate. 08:53.460 --> 08:58.960 That he was referring to believing on him and illustrating it by the symbol of 08:58.960 --> 09:00.640 eating and drinking is clear. 09:01.340 --> 09:04.500 Quote, I am the bread of life. 09:04.920 --> 09:10.980 He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never 09:10.980 --> 09:11.520 thirst. 09:12.500 --> 09:16.080 But ye also have seen me, and believed not. 09:17.440 --> 09:20.180 He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 09:21.080 --> 09:22.360 I am that bread. 09:22.580 --> 09:27.460 The bread that I give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the 09:27.460 --> 09:27.820 world. 09:28.640 --> 09:34.000 Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in 09:34.000 --> 09:34.240 you. 09:35.340 --> 09:39.340 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life. 09:39.900 --> 09:51.040 John 6.35,36,47,48,51,53,54 Is Jesus really saying that in order to receive 09:51.040 --> 09:55.740 eternal life, one must literally eat and drink his physical body and blood? 09:56.660 --> 09:59.340 Or is he saying that we must believe on him? 09:59.840 --> 10:04.340 And he is using the analogy of eating and drinking to illustrate that truth. 10:05.180 --> 10:10.260 He says very clearly that believing gives eternal life. 10:11.480 --> 10:18.440 Yet he says that only by eating him can one have life. 10:19.580 --> 10:22.080 Here is an irreconcilable contradiction. 10:22.080 --> 10:27.740 Unless, of course, eating is merely symbolism for believing. 10:29.020 --> 10:32.700 There is an obvious reason why Christ used the symbol of eating. 10:33.400 --> 10:36.220 In the Old Testament, the priest ate the sacrifice. 10:37.300 --> 10:41.460 The priests that offer it for sin shall eat it. 10:41.840 --> 10:44.880 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof. 10:57.960 --> 11:03.200 Christ was thus telling the Jews that he was the fulfillment of the Old Testament 11:03.200 --> 11:07.840 sacrifices, and that his body and blood were to be given for the sins of the 11:07.840 --> 11:08.220 world. 11:09.340 --> 11:12.540 He was also introducing the priesthood of all believers. 11:13.660 --> 11:19.360 Only the priest ate the sacrifice under the law, but now all must partake of him 11:19.360 --> 11:23.740 by faith to receive the gift of eternal life by God's grace. 11:24.880 --> 11:31.080 All must believe that the Son of God had become a literal flesh and blood man in 11:31.080 --> 11:33.160 order to die for mankind. 11:34.820 --> 11:38.780 There are numerous other reasons why Christ could not have meant the literal 11:38.780 --> 11:41.600 eating and drinking of his physical body and blood. 11:42.660 --> 11:46.280 This sacrifice for sin occurred only once. 11:47.320 --> 11:52.520 If there were any physical eating, it should have taken place at that time. 11:53.460 --> 11:59.160 The body that was sacrificed and laid in the grave, as already noted, was 11:59.160 --> 12:01.380 resurrected and glorified. 12:02.580 --> 12:06.880 Christ's new body, in which now resides at the Father's right hand in heaven, 12:07.540 --> 12:10.900 has no blood and cannot die. 12:11.680 --> 12:15.700 The old body, whose life was in the blood, no longer exists. 12:16.320 --> 12:23.940 Paul said, quote, Yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now 12:23.940 --> 12:28.040 henceforth know we him no more. 12:28.340 --> 12:29.520 That's right. 12:30.360 --> 12:31.800 Let me read it again. 12:33.140 --> 12:41.160 Yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him, 12:41.680 --> 12:44.980 as he was before the cross, no more. 12:44.980 --> 12:46.300 Unquote. 12:47.040 --> 12:53.980 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 16 To suggest that the pre-crucifixion body of 12:53.980 --> 13:00.540 Christ has been recreated on Catholic altars to be offered again for sin, 13:01.380 --> 13:06.600 is a clear contradiction of both scripture and logic. 13:07.120 --> 13:08.940 The bounds of reality. 13:08.940 --> 13:15.420 The Catholic rests his entire case upon the plea that he is taking Christ 13:15.420 --> 13:16.180 literally. 13:16.960 --> 13:22.840 It is not literalism, however, but fantasy, to suggest that each one of 13:22.840 --> 13:31.140 millions of wafers is the complete, whole, and entire physical pre-crucifixion 13:31.140 --> 13:37.320 body of Christ, while at the same time Christ is in heaven, in his resurrected 13:37.320 --> 13:37.940 body. 13:37.940 --> 13:43.440 Quote, but God is omnipresent, is the response. 13:44.260 --> 13:51.180 That's true, and because he is God, by his spirit, Christ is everywhere at 13:51.180 --> 13:51.620 once. 13:52.420 --> 13:56.960 But when Christ became a man, he voluntarily subjected himself to certain 13:56.960 --> 13:57.660 limitations. 13:58.600 --> 14:03.680 A physical body occupies space, and therefore can only be in one place at 14:03.680 --> 14:04.200 a time. 14:04.900 --> 14:10.020 Never is there a hint in the Bible that Christ was bodily present in more than one 14:10.020 --> 14:11.060 place at a time. 14:11.920 --> 14:17.100 Yes, Christ said, quote, where two or three are gathered together in my name, 14:17.700 --> 14:19.500 there am I in the midst of them. 14:19.640 --> 14:21.560 Matthew chapter 18, verse 20. 14:22.360 --> 14:27.180 Christians believe this promise, but no one imagines that Christ is at once 14:27.180 --> 14:32.140 in the same time physically present in the midst of thousands of different groups of 14:32.140 --> 14:33.520 believers around the world. 14:33.520 --> 14:38.580 In fact, none of them imagines he is present physically at all. 14:39.140 --> 14:43.760 For that would mean he could be seen, but he is not seen. 14:44.480 --> 14:50.060 To suggest that millions of wafers are each Christ's physical body, whole and 14:50.060 --> 14:55.680 entire, is to depart from reality and to engage in fantasy. 14:57.320 --> 15:02.140 Nor does Christ's language at the Last Supper support transubstantiation. 15:02.140 --> 15:10.300 Quote, he took bread, broke it, and said, take, eat, this is my body which 15:10.300 --> 15:11.340 is broken for you. 15:12.000 --> 15:13.960 This do in remembrance of me. 15:14.720 --> 15:17.100 This cup is the new testament of my blood. 15:17.980 --> 15:22.140 This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 15:22.860 --> 15:26.080 First Corinthians chapter 11, verse 23 through 25. 15:26.900 --> 15:32.880 He wants Christians to remember his death on the cross and to take bread and wine as 15:32.880 --> 15:34.240 a reminder thereof. 15:35.060 --> 15:39.580 His language contains no thought of a repetition of his sacrifice on the cross. 15:40.360 --> 15:45.120 Notice his words, quote, this is my body, unquote. 15:45.120 --> 15:51.840 He didn't say that one day pieces of bread would become his body through the 15:51.840 --> 15:57.880 miraculous power of transubstantiation wielded by Roman Catholic priests, 15:58.300 --> 16:01.600 but that the bread at that moment was his body. 16:02.440 --> 16:06.260 No one could take that statement literally, for he was sitting right there 16:06.260 --> 16:09.240 in his physical body and holding the bread in his hands. 16:09.900 --> 16:12.220 Obviously the bread was symbolic. 16:12.220 --> 16:17.940 We may be sure that none of Christ's disciples imagined that the bread that he 16:17.940 --> 16:22.640 held was his literal body. 16:23.460 --> 16:28.880 That it could be his literal body and at the same time Christ be there in his 16:28.880 --> 16:31.200 literal body was impossible. 16:32.180 --> 16:37.020 Such a fantasy did not enter the minds of those present and was not invented until 16:37.020 --> 16:38.580 much, much later. 16:39.400 --> 16:44.260 It was certainly not conveyed by Christ's words, nor do we have any reason to 16:44.260 --> 16:48.180 believe that the disciples deprived from them such a meaning. 16:49.040 --> 16:52.420 Excuse me, that the disciples derived from them such a meaning. 16:52.980 --> 16:58.740 It was Pope Innocent III, listen to this, it was Pope Innocent III who made the mass 16:58.740 --> 17:07.060 as a quote, unquote, sacrifice official dogma in the Roman Catholic Church in 1215 17:07.060 --> 17:08.140 A.D. 17:09.200 --> 17:10.520 1215 A.D. 17:11.300 --> 17:14.300 1200 years after Christ's crucifixion. 17:14.480 --> 17:20.000 It became a dogma in the Roman Catholic Church that the mass was a sacrifice. 17:21.080 --> 17:25.340 That the bread became the literal blood and body of Christ to be sacrificed again 17:25.340 --> 17:25.940 on the mass. 17:25.940 --> 17:29.720 Not until 1215 A.D. 17:30.520 --> 17:33.720 Was the Roman Catholic Church in error for 1200 years? 17:34.400 --> 17:39.020 That infallible church, 1200 years in error? 17:39.980 --> 17:42.180 I think the point is well made, is it not? 17:43.140 --> 17:47.880 Lutheranism has a similar view with regard to the mass or to the communion. 17:48.680 --> 17:52.040 As hideous as this is, it's reality. 17:52.980 --> 17:58.360 Martin Luther was able to shake free from much of his Roman Catholicism such as 17:58.360 --> 17:59.900 infant baptism, etc. 18:00.860 --> 18:04.480 And it remains within that church that bears his name to this day. 18:05.120 --> 18:11.060 While denying that they teach transubstantiation, Lutherans declare, 18:11.480 --> 18:18.020 quote, The true, real body and blood of Christ is somehow present, in a unique 18:18.020 --> 18:23.920 way, in, with, and under the bread and wine, which are set aside, blessed, 18:24.080 --> 18:25.780 and consumed in the Holy Supper. 18:26.560 --> 18:29.440 That's the plain meaning of scripture, they say. 18:29.540 --> 18:32.440 Matthew chapter 26, verse 20, 16, 28. 18:33.000 --> 18:35.120 First Corinthians chapter 10, verse 16. 18:35.320 --> 18:37.620 Chapter 11, verse 23 through 32. 18:38.280 --> 18:42.680 The Lutheran doctrine is that the bread and the wine in the Holy Supper are the 18:42.680 --> 18:44.400 body and blood of Christ. 18:44.900 --> 18:45.880 How can that be? 18:46.000 --> 18:47.860 We do not know and do not understand. 18:48.520 --> 18:53.220 But Christ said that the bread is his body and that the wine is his blood. 18:53.780 --> 18:56.680 We simply echo his words, says the Lutherans. 18:57.420 --> 19:02.420 Those who do not believe Christ's words about this sacrament, do not discern or 19:02.420 --> 19:08.000 recognize his body or his blood in the supper, and so can receive the sacrament 19:08.000 --> 19:10.820 in only in an unworthy way. 19:11.500 --> 19:13.780 That's what's still taught in the Lutheran church. 19:14.180 --> 19:15.860 That's what Luther believed. 19:16.500 --> 19:22.560 Now I have to believe that at some point, before Luther's death, he came to realize 19:22.560 --> 19:24.380 the truth about communion. 19:24.380 --> 19:26.080 That it was a memorial. 19:27.140 --> 19:31.120 And that the bread and the wine were not the literal blood, body, and soul and 19:31.120 --> 19:32.100 divinity of Christ. 19:32.800 --> 19:38.400 But as I've been admonished by many Christians not to be too hasty with some 19:38.400 --> 19:42.820 of the Protestant Reformers, that it took a while for God to correct them. 19:43.460 --> 19:50.180 I have to be patient, but I cannot abide the idea that Christ must be ritually 19:50.180 --> 19:55.840 re-sacrificed over and over and over, even on a Lutheran altar. 19:56.860 --> 19:57.600 Are they Catholics? 19:58.540 --> 19:59.940 That's what's apparent to me. 20:00.760 --> 20:04.400 Under the appearance of Protestantism, they continue Roman Catholicism. 20:05.120 --> 20:10.780 Now, Dave Hunt continues, It is not a question of whether one believes Christ's 20:10.780 --> 20:14.060 words, but of how those words are understood. 20:15.080 --> 20:19.140 There's no more reason to take him literally when he said, this is my body, 20:19.680 --> 20:21.680 than when he said, I am the door. 20:21.680 --> 20:27.500 To take him literally violates common sense, consents to breaking God's law 20:27.500 --> 20:32.520 through cannibalism and partaking of blood, and leads to the foolish heresy 20:32.520 --> 20:37.160 that in spite of Christ being in heaven, in a resurrected and glorified immortal 20:37.160 --> 20:44.380 body, his pre-crucifixion body of mortal flesh and blood is being ingested again 20:44.380 --> 20:47.600 and again by Catholics and Lutherans. 20:47.600 --> 20:55.820 It also leads to the fantasy of imagining that millions of bits of bread or wafers 20:55.820 --> 21:00.880 can each one simultaneously be the entire physical body of Christ. 21:01.640 --> 21:05.760 At least Luther did not teach that Christ's sacrifice was being repeated 21:05.760 --> 21:10.780 endlessly, and that forgiveness of sins and eternal life are received in 21:10.780 --> 21:13.440 installments by eating the bread and wine. 21:13.440 --> 21:19.380 That delusion fostered by transubstantiation prevents the Catholic 21:19.380 --> 21:22.120 from believing in Christ. 21:22.700 --> 21:30.160 The Eucharist is the very heart of the false gospel of works promulgated by Roman 21:30.160 --> 21:31.060 Catholicism. 21:31.060 --> 21:37.660 Sadly, the devout Roman Catholic has turned from simple faith in Christ as his 21:37.660 --> 21:43.380 Savior to what he thinks is the physical eating of Christ's blood and body. 21:44.300 --> 21:48.700 Thus salvation comes not through faith, but by works. 21:49.640 --> 21:52.600 Not by believing, but by eating. 21:53.480 --> 21:58.000 No wonder it is so difficult for a Roman Catholic to accept the biblical gospel. 21:58.000 --> 22:04.380 He has been taught that each time he ingests the alleged body and blood of 22:04.380 --> 22:09.780 Christ, he takes another step towards salvation and heaven. 22:10.520 --> 22:16.460 Obviously, such a person finds it very difficult to accept that through one act 22:16.460 --> 22:24.760 of faith, receiving Christ by faith into his heart, he is saved eternally and at 22:24.760 --> 22:30.520 the moment of death passes instantly into Christ's presence, not into purgatory. 22:31.000 --> 22:36.720 The gospel of God's grace is denied by the teaching that the, quote, merits and 22:36.720 --> 22:44.280 graces, unquote, won by Christ are dispensed to the faithful in installments 22:44.280 --> 22:49.260 through the Roman Catholic liturgy, especially through the mass. 22:49.260 --> 22:54.280 The alleged power of the priest to turn the tiny wafer in the wine into the 22:54.280 --> 22:58.540 literal body and blood of Christ is the heart of that lie. 22:59.520 --> 23:03.340 Thus the Catholic, ignorant of the biblical teaching that Christ's one 23:03.340 --> 23:10.740 sacrifice suffices and that there is no more offering for sin, has been convinced 23:10.740 --> 23:16.220 by his church that repeated sacrifices of Christ on the Catholic altars are paying 23:16.220 --> 23:17.180 for his sin. 23:17.900 --> 23:20.860 We'll continue when we return from the break. 23:20.980 --> 23:24.640 You're

24:15.010 --> 24:18.870 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the evangelical Christian world 24:18.870 --> 24:23.470 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 24:23.470 --> 24:24.290 begin to be built. 24:24.910 --> 24:26.050 The plans are drawn. 24:26.170 --> 24:27.470 The Jewish people are eager. 24:27.470 --> 24:31.830 Most evangelical Christians today believe that the rapture will happen before the 24:31.830 --> 24:32.810 Third Temple is built. 24:33.250 --> 24:34.770 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 24:35.310 --> 24:37.950 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 24:38.590 --> 24:40.190 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 24:40.870 --> 24:43.810 Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true? 24:44.510 --> 24:48.150 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 24:48.150 --> 24:48.990 Temple in Jerusalem? 24:49.530 --> 24:54.230 Is it necessary to build a temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 24:54.230 --> 24:54.890 of the Rocks? 24:54.890 --> 24:59.310 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the temple on Temple Mount? 25:00.010 --> 25:03.090 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 25:03.910 --> 25:05.350 What is the New Testament temple? 25:06.170 --> 25:08.310 Can we identify history and prophecy? 25:09.050 --> 25:12.050 Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13? 25:12.910 --> 25:15.310 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 25:16.030 --> 25:19.650 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 25:19.650 --> 25:24.510 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 25:24.510 --> 25:26.130 scripture to interpret scripture. 25:26.850 --> 25:30.230 The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private 25:30.230 --> 25:30.950 interpretation. 25:31.790 --> 25:34.670 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 25:34.910 --> 25:39.310 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 25:40.310 --> 25:49.450 Visit CrossTheBorder.org to get your print, e-pub, or PDF version of Nicholas 25:49.450 -->

28:40.240 --> 28:46.440 Now returning to the last paragraph, it says, The gospel of God's grace is 28:46.440 --> 28:52.580 denied by the teaching that the, quote, merits and graces, unquote, 28:52.880 --> 29:00.260 won by Christ are dispensed to the faithful in installments through the Roman 29:00.260 --> 29:03.660 Catholic liturgy, especially through the Mass. 29:04.240 --> 29:08.560 The alleged power of the priest to turn the tiny wafer and the wine into the 29:08.560 --> 29:12.220 literal body and blood of Christ is the heart of that lie. 29:13.140 --> 29:16.800 Thus the Catholic, ignorant of the biblical teaching that Christ's one 29:16.800 --> 29:22.440 sacrifice suffices, and that there is no more offering for sin, as recorded in 29:22.440 --> 29:28.500 Hebrews chapter 10, verse 18, has been convinced by his church that repeated 29:28.500 --> 29:33.620 sacrifice of Christ on the Catholic altars are payment for sins. 29:34.180 --> 29:35.680 Listen to this quote now. 29:36.460 --> 29:46.640 The Mass is a truly propitiatory sacrifice by which the Lord is appeased and pardons 29:46.640 --> 29:50.500 wrongdoings and sins, unquote. 29:51.380 --> 29:54.260 That's the official teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. 29:55.240 --> 30:00.400 That the sacrifice of the Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice. 30:01.720 --> 30:02.840 It appeases God. 30:03.680 --> 30:09.960 It is the means of remission of sin and the infusion of grace, little by little, 30:10.040 --> 30:11.820 each time it's practiced. 30:13.100 --> 30:14.480 This is not biblical. 30:15.160 --> 30:16.300 It's idolatry. 30:16.420 --> 30:17.240 It's an abomination. 30:17.240 --> 30:23.340 It's an abject repudiation of what Christ accomplished on the cross. 30:26.120 --> 30:29.320 This excludes one from the kingdom of Christ. 30:30.200 --> 30:35.380 And I'm not too harsh when I tell my listeners that those who participate in 30:35.380 --> 30:40.160 the Mass eat and drink damnation to themselves. 30:40.960 --> 30:43.360 Now under the subtitle, A Miracle? 30:44.540 --> 30:53.000 Dave says, Those who reject the fantasy of transubstantiation are accused of not 30:53.000 --> 30:54.480 believing in miracles. 30:55.520 --> 31:00.800 Yes, quote, with God all things are possible, unquote. 31:01.320 --> 31:09.760 Matthew 19.26, Mark 10.27 Even that statement, however, must be defined by the 31:09.760 --> 31:11.820 nature of God and of reality. 31:12.720 --> 31:15.460 God cannot become a demon or Satan. 31:16.400 --> 31:17.860 Nor can he lie. 31:18.340 --> 31:23.500 See Titus 1.2 Nor could God become the universe. 31:24.580 --> 31:28.940 For by his very nature he is separate and distinct from the universe. 31:29.680 --> 31:32.540 And pantheism is therefore impossible. 31:33.360 --> 31:38.840 Likewise, a miracle must function within the bounds of verifiable reality. 31:39.820 --> 31:41.840 A wafer which has been, quote, unquote. 31:42.160 --> 31:45.560 Turned into Christ's body and blood. 31:45.860 --> 31:49.480 Yet retains all its original qualities and characters. 31:50.240 --> 31:52.640 Lacks an essential of a miracle. 31:53.520 --> 31:57.180 To be recognizable and thereby bring glory to God. 31:57.800 --> 32:00.820 Since the wafer and the wine remain unchanged. 32:00.820 --> 32:04.360 The alleged miracle remains unseen. 32:05.100 --> 32:07.260 But a miracle must be observable. 32:07.540 --> 32:09.640 For instance, when the lame walked. 32:10.020 --> 32:12.080 When the blind saw. 32:12.720 --> 32:15.440 When the storm was instantly calm. 32:16.200 --> 32:19.040 When the dead came to life upon command. 32:19.920 --> 32:23.820 Or else, no one can know that it has taken place. 32:24.280 --> 32:27.480 And thus no one can give God glory for it. 32:27.480 --> 32:31.720 Of course, God would be able to turn a wafer into human flesh. 32:32.060 --> 32:34.620 John the Baptist said that God could, quote. 32:35.100 --> 32:38.740 Of these stones raise up children unto Abraham. 32:39.320 --> 32:42.860 Matthew chapter 3 verse 9 and Luke chapter 3 verse 8. 32:43.720 --> 32:44.940 But if he did it. 32:45.640 --> 32:48.760 The stones which he had changed into human beings. 32:49.040 --> 32:53.640 Not continue to look like stones and have all the qualities of stones. 32:54.660 --> 32:57.180 To turn a wafer into human flesh and blood. 32:57.180 --> 33:00.740 Deny neither the nature of God nor of reality. 33:02.220 --> 33:04.760 But transubstantiation is not such a miracle. 33:05.660 --> 33:09.880 The wafer becomes Christ's body under the appearance of a wafer. 33:10.440 --> 33:12.700 There is no such miracle in the Bible. 33:13.640 --> 33:17.880 The opening of the Red Sea so that the Israelites could walk through it on dry 33:17.880 --> 33:18.380 land. 33:18.640 --> 33:21.600 Was a feat that both Jews and Egyptians observed. 33:22.160 --> 33:25.060 And that both understood had occurred by God's power. 33:25.060 --> 33:30.260 Suppose it had been transubstantiated kind of miracle. 33:31.040 --> 33:35.240 The Red Sea opened under the appearance of remaining closed. 33:35.900 --> 33:40.000 And the Israelites had walked across on a dry land. 33:40.280 --> 33:43.540 Under the appearance of having to swim across. 33:44.060 --> 33:47.340 Suppose Christ healed a blind man. 33:47.820 --> 33:51.040 Under the appearance of his not being able to see. 33:51.040 --> 33:56.240 Or raised the dead under the appearance of lifelessness. 33:57.080 --> 33:59.460 Such suppositions are ludicrous. 34:00.340 --> 34:06.060 Yet that is precisely the nature of the transubstantiation miracle. 34:06.980 --> 34:10.720 Let's take the miracle of the water turned to wine at the Inn of Galilee. 34:11.300 --> 34:14.980 When the governor of the feast tasted it, he explained to the groom. 34:15.720 --> 34:18.880 Thou hast kept the good wine until now. 34:21.820 --> 34:23.820 Suppose he had said. 34:24.860 --> 34:27.380 This isn't wine, it's water. 34:28.260 --> 34:30.140 The servants replied sincerely. 34:30.560 --> 34:32.560 No sir, it is wine. 34:33.400 --> 34:35.360 The governor's voice raises in anger. 34:35.740 --> 34:40.280 Don't mock me, it looks like water, it tastes like water, it is water. 34:40.920 --> 34:42.600 The servants insist. 34:42.600 --> 34:45.500 Sir, it is wine. 34:46.340 --> 34:52.460 Jesus miraculously turned water into wine under the appearance of it remaining 34:52.460 --> 34:53.100 water. 34:53.960 --> 34:55.960 There is no such miracle in the Bible. 34:56.700 --> 35:02.320 And for Rome to take such a claim is a lame attempt to cover up obvious fraud. 35:03.080 --> 35:09.940 And that, my dear friends, is exactly what the entire Roman Catholic Church system 35:09.940 --> 35:10.640 is. 35:10.840 --> 35:12.860 A pious fraud. 35:13.320 --> 35:15.200 And not even a good one. 35:15.980 --> 35:18.000 It should be obvious to a child. 35:18.720 --> 35:20.640 It should be obvious to a child. 35:21.420 --> 35:23.100 It is the Church of Antichrist. 35:23.800 --> 35:25.240 The synagogue of Satan. 35:25.960 --> 35:28.060 That's what all the reformers called it. 35:28.660 --> 35:29.520 In writing. 35:30.300 --> 35:32.520 And for it, they died. 35:33.340 --> 35:39.260 And they insisted, even in the flames, that it was a fraud. 35:40.040 --> 35:42.060 Not even to spare their lives. 35:42.940 --> 35:44.100 Would they recant? 35:45.260 --> 35:49.240 Decay, condemnation and death is the subtitle of the next portion of the 35:49.240 --> 35:49.640 chapter. 35:50.460 --> 35:55.880 He said, let us consider only one further reason why transubstantiation is a hoax. 35:56.680 --> 36:00.980 The psalmist declared, and Peter quoted this prophecy in his Pentecostal sermon, 36:01.160 --> 36:02.260 as did Paul later. 36:15.040 --> 36:17.480 Christ's body did not decay in the grave. 36:18.280 --> 36:24.240 Yet the consecrated and transubstantiated host reserved for administration to the 36:24.240 --> 36:32.000 sick or displayed for adoration, breeds worms and mold if it isn't disposed 36:32.000 --> 36:33.200 of soon enough. 36:33.960 --> 36:39.840 If it were really Christ's blood and body, it could not corrupt. 36:40.820 --> 36:45.700 Tragically, the mass becomes a cause of condemnation for Catholics. 36:46.400 --> 36:54.680 Who, quote, are obliged under penalty of serious, that is mortal sin, to hear mass 36:54.680 --> 36:57.160 on Sundays and Holy Days, unquote. 36:58.020 --> 37:04.580 According to a recent poll, only 33% of American Catholics attend mass on any 37:04.580 --> 37:05.600 given Sunday. 37:05.600 --> 37:09.800 And far less do so every Sunday, as required. 37:10.780 --> 37:17.560 Only 12% of the Catholics in France, which is 90% Catholic, can be found in 37:17.560 --> 37:19.460 mass on any Sunday. 37:20.200 --> 37:25.740 This works out to a very high percentage of Roman Catholics who are habitually in 37:25.740 --> 37:31.500 mortal sin and thus deprived of, quote, sanctifying grace, unquote, 37:32.040 --> 37:35.460 and, quote, the right to heaven, unquote. 37:36.300 --> 37:42.200 So important is this transubstantiation dogma to Rome that multitudes who could 37:42.200 --> 37:44.320 not accept it were burned at the stake. 37:45.100 --> 37:50.980 It was for this reason that most of the 288 English martyrs were consigned to the 37:50.980 --> 37:56.520 flames during the five-year reign of bloody Queen Mary, who brought Catholicism 37:56.520 --> 38:02.180 back into England after a brief time of tenuous freedom from papal tyranny. 38:13.580 --> 38:20.560 Many a sincere and devout Roman Catholic desired to save England before her beloved 38:20.560 --> 38:25.720 Holy Mother Church and rejoiced when the Reformation was turned back. 38:26.760 --> 38:33.160 Today it is leading evangelicals who are only too happy to undo the Reformation and 38:33.160 --> 38:35.920 thereby deny Christ and his gospel. 38:36.740 --> 38:42.280 And in the process they mock those who did not count their lives dear in order to 38:42.280 --> 38:44.240 preserve that gospel for us. 38:45.200 --> 38:49.960 Ecumenism is a repudiation of the Protestant Reformation. 38:51.020 --> 38:56.820 Ecumenism is a repudiation of Christ and the acceptance of the Pope, the 38:56.820 --> 38:57.200 Antichrist. 38:58.380 --> 39:03.820 To have fellowship with the Roman Catholic Church is to deprive oneself of fellowship 39:03.820 --> 39:04.600 with Christ. 39:05.380 --> 39:06.860 You can't have it both ways. 39:06.980 --> 39:08.540 You cannot serve two masters. 39:09.040 --> 39:14.500 You cannot profess Christ with your mouth and serve Antichrist with your hands and 39:14.500 --> 39:15.100 your feet. 39:15.800 --> 39:17.400 That's what ecumenism is. 39:18.150 --> 39:21.700 Are you Protestant or are you apostate? 39:22.620 --> 39:26.400 Are you Christ's or are you Antichrist's? 39:27.100 --> 39:28.760 That's the ultimatum. 39:30.120 --> 39:35.580 You cannot partake in the doctrine of demons and expect the Holy Spirit to dwell 39:35.580 --> 39:36.140 in you. 39:36.440 --> 39:38.360 That's the end of chapter 24. 39:38.720 --> 39:40.600 We'll proceed now to chapter 25. 39:40.860 --> 39:43.200 The Reformation Betrayed. 39:43.200 --> 39:45.140 It begins with quotes. 39:45.900 --> 39:48.640 This from an Anglican Bishop, J.C. 39:48.780 --> 39:50.160 Reilly of 1885. 39:51.200 --> 39:55.860 Quote, The burning of the Marian martyrs is an act that the Catholic Church has 39:55.860 --> 39:57.260 never repudiated. 39:58.240 --> 40:02.260 Never has she repented of the retreatment of the Valois or the Albigenses, 40:02.840 --> 40:09.560 of the wholesale murders of the Spanish Inquisition, of the burning of the English 40:09.560 --> 40:10.460 Reformers. 40:10.460 --> 40:15.140 We should take note of that fact and let it sink down in our minds. 40:15.940 --> 40:17.360 Rome never changes. 40:18.240 --> 40:20.780 Here a quote from Martin Lloyd-Jones. 40:21.960 --> 40:27.680 The Roman Catholic Church is a counterfeit of the worst and most diabolical kind, 40:28.480 --> 40:33.580 a form of the Antichrist, to be rejected and denounced. 40:34.290 --> 40:36.520 And this from W.A. 40:36.600 --> 40:39.980 Criswell, former President, Southern Baptist Convention. 40:40.940 --> 40:43.640 This will make the hair stand on the back of your neck. 40:44.440 --> 40:49.720 Quote, I don't know anyone more dedicated to the great fundamental doctrines of 40:49.720 --> 40:52.540 Christianity than the Roman Catholics. 40:53.480 --> 40:59.940 And finally, the one that depresses me more than any, the one I revered when I 40:59.940 --> 41:00.640 was a child. 41:00.640 --> 41:07.720 I don't think I ever missed one of Billy Graham's crusades. 41:08.400 --> 41:10.740 But listen to what Billy Graham said. 41:11.580 --> 41:19.580 Quote, I've found that my beliefs are essentially the same as those of Orthodox 41:19.580 --> 41:20.860 Roman Catholics. 41:21.880 --> 41:22.420 Unquote. 41:23.160 --> 41:25.640 Billy Graham and W.A. 41:25.740 --> 41:29.040 Criswell betrayed the Protestant Reformation. 41:29.040 --> 41:33.920 And when they did, they betrayed Christ, no less than did Judas. 41:34.780 --> 41:40.580 Dave says, there is a growing trend among today's evangelicals to embrace and 41:40.580 --> 41:46.400 promote a benign view of Romanism that contradicts the convictions held by 41:46.400 --> 41:49.200 Protestants for more than 400 years. 41:50.200 --> 41:56.300 The Reformation, if remembered at all, is being portrayed as an unnecessary 41:56.300 --> 42:01.820 separation from a church which was biblical and evangelical. 42:03.660 --> 42:10.160 Statements by various evangelicals today impugn the faith and the convictions of 42:10.160 --> 42:16.440 the millions of martyrs who died rather than accept transubstantiation, 42:17.280 --> 42:24.280 purgatory, indulgences, worship of saints, and the remainder of Rome's false and 42:24.280 --> 42:27.000 destructive gospel of ritual and works. 42:27.920 --> 42:33.860 If Roman Catholicism stands solidly for, quote, the great fundamental doctrines of 42:33.860 --> 42:38.180 Christianity, unquote, then what was the Reformation all about? 42:39.540 --> 42:46.420 If the view held by many of today's evangelicals is right, then those millions 42:46.420 --> 42:54.320 to death by Rome throughout the centuries died not for their faith, but for a 42:54.320 --> 42:56.160 semantic misunderstanding. 42:57.920 --> 42:59.320 How tragic. 43:00.840 --> 43:04.700 If evangelical and Roman Catholic doctrines are essentially the same, 43:04.820 --> 43:09.340 as they say, then the Reformation was based upon an incredible mistake, 43:09.340 --> 43:13.640 which is only now being recognized after more than four centuries. 43:15.100 --> 43:20.800 But if that's not the case, and there were indeed clear and vital differences between 43:20.800 --> 43:26.740 Roman Catholicism and Protestantism on essential doctrines at the time of the 43:26.740 --> 43:29.660 Reformation, why not today? 43:31.080 --> 43:32.920 Has Catholicism changed? 43:34.600 --> 43:39.180 We've seen that the dogmas of Roman Catholicism, which the martyrs could not 43:39.180 --> 43:40.960 embrace, have not changed. 43:42.160 --> 43:47.520 Nor have evangelicals as a whole opted for a different gospel from salvation by grace 43:47.520 --> 43:50.720 through faith alone, as it was preached by the Reformers. 43:51.740 --> 43:54.760 Certainly men such as Billy Graham and W .A. 43:54.860 --> 43:59.280 Criswell have demonstrated, through long lives of service to Christ and winning 43:59.280 --> 44:04.420 thousands to Him, that they would not knowingly compromise the gospel of God's 44:04.420 --> 44:05.940 grace through Jesus Christ. 44:07.220 --> 44:12.460 This makes it difficult to understand how they and other evangelical leaders profess 44:12.460 --> 44:17.800 a commonality of faith with Roman Catholicism, which would have been 44:17.800 --> 44:20.660 unthinkable to past generations of Protestants. 44:21.660 --> 44:26.880 A major reason for this book is to dispel the gross misunderstanding about Roman 44:26.880 --> 44:27.700 Catholicism. 44:27.700 --> 44:34.540 Rome adeptly covers her real intentions with sweet words, and hides her true 44:34.540 --> 44:39.640 character behind beautiful art and moving manifestations of piety. 44:40.600 --> 44:46.140 Much of what we have revealed thus far, even the truth behind events so current as 44:46.140 --> 44:53.920 the war in Yugoslavia, widespread sexual promiscuity of priests, and marriage 44:53.920 --> 45:00.760 annulments by the tens of thousands, has likely shocked, perhaps even offended, 45:00.920 --> 45:01.640 many readers. 45:02.860 --> 45:08.220 This is because through its media dominance, Rome projects an image that 45:08.220 --> 45:10.380 makes the truth difficult to believe. 45:11.980 --> 45:18.120 Having joined forces in political and social action, why shouldn't Roman 45:18.120 --> 45:22.460 Catholics and Protestants evangelize the world together as well? 45:23.420 --> 45:28.740 At least they subscribe to the same creeds and many of the same morals. 45:29.860 --> 45:34.660 Whatever slight differences in doctrine exist can hardly be of any great 45:34.660 --> 45:38.720 importance, and should not be allowed to separate Christians, they say. 45:39.540 --> 45:44.380 Such is the thinking of many evangelical leaders and their followers, through the 45:44.380 --> 45:47.140 same misconceptions, gladly accepted. 45:49.260 --> 45:53.940 History has been forgotten, and the truth suppressed. 45:55.480 --> 46:01.320 The Protestant Reformation is so far removed in time that its issues have been 46:01.320 --> 46:01.820 forgotten. 46:03.100 --> 46:09.360 We need to be reminded of all the facts, no matter how unpleasant, in order to 46:09.360 --> 46:14.460 dispel the misconceptions which the new ecumenism is based upon and promotes. 46:15.460 --> 46:22.620 Most Protestants have only the sketchiest idea of what was protested so long ago, 46:23.240 --> 46:26.840 and even less understanding of its significance today. 46:28.160 --> 46:34.180 Even so staunch an evangelist as Billy Graham, like so many other leading 46:34.180 --> 46:39.620 evangelicals, seems to have been persuaded by Rome's new posture. 46:40.460 --> 46:46.880 Having visited Pope John Paul II three times, and apparently based upon the 46:46.880 --> 46:51.620 Pope's representations to him, Billy Graham calls him, quote, 46:52.160 --> 46:55.320 the world's greatest evangelist, unquote. 46:55.940 --> 47:02.020 And says that any differences in their theology, quote, are not important as far 47:02.020 --> 47:04.580 as personal salvation is concerned, unquote. 47:05.380 --> 47:11.280 That the Pope has been less than honest with Billy Graham is clear from what we 47:11.280 --> 47:16.900 have seen in its official teaching, and teaching about which so many 47:16.900 --> 47:19.360 evangelicals seem to be poorly informed. 47:20.780 --> 47:26.620 So eager are many evangelicals to work with Catholics, that they accept Rome's 47:26.620 --> 47:31.080 self-serving revision of history without checking the facts for themselves. 47:31.840 --> 47:36.900 Surely Rome's protestations of peace, love, and brotherhood in Christ are 47:36.900 --> 47:40.160 sincere, so let us forgive and forget the past. 47:41.580 --> 47:47.060 Even well-meaning evangelical organizations and leaders at times have 47:47.060 --> 47:50.620 suppressed the facts in order not to offend the Catholics whom they hope to 47:50.620 --> 47:51.480 evangelize. 47:52.760 --> 47:58.580 William Ewing gives a classic example, quote, The Billy Graham Evangelistic 47:58.580 --> 48:05.080 Association acquired the printing rights for a special edition of the classic Henry 48:05.080 --> 48:05.620 H. 48:05.860 --> 48:10.560 Halley Bible Commentary entitled Pocket Bible Handbook. 48:11.680 --> 48:14.400 It described Rome's martyrdom of millions. 48:15.700 --> 48:22.220 In its 1962 Billy Graham Crusade edition, the Graham Association removed all those 48:22.220 --> 48:22.780 pages. 48:23.840 --> 48:25.560 Why Billy Graham? 48:26.800 --> 48:32.680 Why would you remove the facts of history to promote your ecumenism? 48:33.880 --> 48:38.040 You've deceived millions, and I was one of them. 48:41.800 --> 48:47.460 The same deletions were made from the additional special crusade editions in 48:47.460 --> 48:49.840 1964 and 1969. 48:50.880 --> 48:56.560 As a result, readers were denied dozens of pages of vital historical fact. 48:57.560 --> 49:02.840 Those pages recited the evil of some of the popes as well as of Rome's persecution 49:02.840 --> 49:08.380 and slaughter of Christians for centuries, even before the Reformation. 49:09.520 --> 49:14.220 The following is just a sample of facts carefully presented by Halley, 49:14.620 --> 49:20.160 still found in copies sold in bookstores today, but which were eliminated from the 49:20.160 --> 49:21.880 special crusade editions. 49:22.440 --> 49:28.100 Quote, the Albigensies preached against the immoralities of the Roman Catholic 49:28.100 --> 49:35.380 priesthood, pilgrimages, worship of saints and images, opposed the claims of the 49:35.380 --> 49:39.060 Church of Rome, made great use of the scriptures. 49:40.300 --> 49:46.020 By 1167, they embraced possibly a majority of the population of southern France. 49:46.020 --> 49:51.080 In 1208, a crusade was ordered by Pope Innocent III. 49:51.920 --> 49:57.400 A bloody war of extermination followed, scarcely paralleled in history. 49:58.240 --> 50:02.560 Town after town was put to the sword and the inhabitants murdered without 50:02.560 --> 50:05.980 distinction of either age, sex or condition. 50:06.640 --> 50:11.840 Within 100 years, the Albigensians were utterly rooted out. 50:13.280 --> 50:21.080 Two centuries later, between 1540 and 1570, no fewer than 900,000 Protestants 50:21.080 --> 50:25.540 were put to death in the Pope's war of extermination of the Waldenses. 50:27.160 --> 50:33.980 Think of monks and priests directing fearless, heartless cruelty and inhumane 50:33.980 --> 50:38.780 brutality, the work of torturing and burning alive innocent men, women and 50:38.780 --> 50:44.560 children, and doing it in the name of Christ, by the direct order of the Vicar 50:44.560 --> 50:46.380 of Christ, the Pope of Rome. 50:47.480 --> 50:53.960 On the night of August 24, 1572, 70,000 Huguenots, French Calvinist 50:53.960 --> 50:58.420 Protestants, including most of their leaders, were massacred in the St. 50:58.660 --> 50:59.860 Bartholomew Massacre. 50:59.860 --> 51:09.060 Some 200,000 more perished as martyrs, and 500,000 fled to Protestant countries." 51:09.860 --> 51:14.640 Billy Graham, why would you hide this information from God's people? 51:16.840 --> 51:23.260 To support your diabolical ecumenism, you betrayed Christ and his people. 51:28.230 --> 51:29.830 Why the Reformation? 51:31.150 --> 51:36.230 We've already noted that centuries before the Reformation, simple Christian 51:36.230 --> 51:39.670 fellowship existed outside the Catholic Church. 51:41.290 --> 51:47.210 These believers abhorred the heresies and hypocrisy of Rome and refused to honor the 51:47.210 --> 51:47.550 Pope. 51:50.730 --> 51:52.810 That's what the Reformation is all about. 51:53.810 --> 52:01.130 A return to true biblical Christianity and a bulwark against Christ, against 52:01.130 --> 52:02.050 Antichrist. 52:03.330 --> 52:05.250 And they've forgotten it all. 52:06.670 --> 52:08.890 What a horrible reality. 52:13.660 --> 52:21.900 The program you 52:56.580 --> 53:01.260 are listening to is 100% sponsored by you, the listener, on this First Amendment 53:01.260 --> 53:02.400 Rights Media channel. 53:03.000 --> 53:06.380 You will notice that there are few commercials on this radio network. 53:07.060 --> 53:08.600 There's a good reason for that. 53:09.080 --> 53:13.540 Corporate advertising dollars come with strings that limit

54:46.940 Built. 54:47.320 --> 54:48.920 That's crosstheborder.org. 54:49.360 --> 54:53.000 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 54:53.000 --> 54:57.600 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 54:57.600 --> 54:58.380 begin to be built. 54:58.380 --> 55:00.220 The plans are drawn. 55:00.320 --> 55:01.620 The Jewish people are eager. 55:02.260 --> 55:05.960 Most Evangelical Christians today believe that the rapture will happen before the 55:05.960 --> 55:06.940 Third Temple is built. 55:07.300 --> 55:08.900 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 55:09.440 --> 55:12.080 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 55:12.700 --> 55:14.320 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 55:15.000 --> 55:17.940 Have we searched the Scriptures and found this to be true? 55:18.600 --> 55:22.280 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 55:22.280 --> 55:23.120 Temple in Jerusalem? 55:23.120 --> 55:28.360 Is it necessary to build a Temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 55:28.360 --> 55:28.840 of the Rock? 55:29.420 --> 55:33.400 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the Temple on Temple Mount? 55:34.040 --> 55:37.200 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 55:38.040 --> 55:39.460 What is the New Testament Temple? 55:40.240 --> 55:42.420 Can we identify history and prophecy? 55:43.100 --> 55:46.220 Who is the first beast in Revelation Chapter 13? 55:46.780 --> 55:49.440 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 55:49.440 --> 55:53.800 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 55:54.380 --> 55:58.640 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 55:58.640 --> 56:00.220 Scripture to interpret Scripture. 56:00.880 --> 56:04.360 The Bible says that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private 56:04.360 --> 56:05.080 interpretation. 56:05.900 --> 56:08.800 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 56:09.140 --> 56:13.420 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 56:14.240 --> 56:23.560 Visit
