WEBVTT 00:25.700 --> 00:26.660 Good morning. 00:26.840 --> 00:28.480 Welcome to Inquisition Update. 00:28.700 --> 00:31.460 My name is Tom Friess and I'll be your host for the next hour. 00:31.700 --> 00:34.380 You're listening to firstamendmentradio .com. 00:34.460 --> 00:39.180 We're going to return to our reading and discussion of the book, A Woman Rides the 00:39.180 --> 00:40.360 Beast by Dave Hunt. 00:41.300 --> 00:49.500 Yesterday on the program we concluded with an example of pro-Catholic sentiments by 00:49.500 --> 00:54.180 Billy Graham, a very shocking reality when I first realized it. 00:54.980 --> 01:00.520 Billy Graham reproduced, under the auspices of Billy Graham's Evangelistic 01:00.520 --> 01:03.860 Association, a classic work by Henry H. 01:04.000 --> 01:10.360 Halley, his Bible commentary, and reissued it with some critical omissions, 01:11.580 --> 01:15.940 that having to do with the persecution of Protestants throughout Roman Catholic 01:15.940 --> 01:16.500 history. 01:17.540 --> 01:20.080 And it is a purposeful omission. 01:20.820 --> 01:35.200 Billy Graham repudiated his Protestantism, became ecumenical pro-Catholic, 01:37.460 --> 01:41.260 and he deceived millions upon millions. 01:42.560 --> 01:44.580 And for that, God will reckon. 01:46.060 --> 01:55.340 But we'll continue now, page 392, under the subtitle, Why the Reformation? 01:55.340 --> 01:58.640 Why did the Protestant Reformation take place? 01:59.700 --> 02:04.600 This is information that is almost totally lost among Protestants and Evangelicals 02:04.600 --> 02:04.900 today. 02:05.360 --> 02:06.600 It's critical information. 02:07.920 --> 02:14.520 You cannot judge what is happening in the world today sans this information. 02:15.780 --> 02:20.260 Dave says, we've already noted that for centuries before the Reformation, 02:21.140 --> 02:26.240 simple Christian fellowships existed outside the Roman Catholic Church. 02:26.280 --> 02:33.060 Remember, all the world was Roman Catholic, except for a remnant that has 02:33.060 --> 02:38.100 always existed, and they had fellowship in Christ in the Gospel outside the Roman 02:38.100 --> 02:38.780 Catholic Church. 02:38.980 --> 02:43.460 They universally condemned the Roman Catholic Church as the synagogue of Satan, 02:43.940 --> 02:49.280 and its Pope, the Vicar of Christ, as the Antichrist of the Bible. 02:50.280 --> 02:51.960 That was their fellowship. 02:53.820 --> 03:00.680 These believers abhorred the heresies and hypocrisy of Rome, and refused to honor 03:00.680 --> 03:01.280 the Pope. 03:02.260 --> 03:06.860 For this, they were hounded to terrible deaths by the hundreds of thousands. 03:08.240 --> 03:13.960 Crusades to exterminate these so-called heretics were organized just as they were 03:13.960 --> 03:17.380 for driving Jews and Muslims from the Holy Land. 03:18.500 --> 03:25.760 Remember, in one day, Pope Innocent III massacred 60,000 people, and it was called 03:25.760 --> 03:28.300 the crowning achievement of his papacy. 03:29.880 --> 03:34.280 Throughout the testimony of these persecuted Christians, and from the Bibles 03:34.280 --> 03:42.800 they gave out, men like John Wycliffe, who lived from 1329 to 1384, John Huss 03:42.800 --> 03:54.660 from 1373 to 1415, and Johann Geyler von Kaersberg from 1445 to 1510, believed the 03:54.660 --> 03:58.180 Gospel and began preaching it to their fellow Catholics. 03:59.280 --> 04:04.500 Multitudes of them believed, and remained true to their faith in the flames. 04:05.440 --> 04:08.220 These were the forerunners of the Protestant Reformation. 04:09.840 --> 04:13.760 Though in the Western world today, the death penalty cannot lawfully be 04:13.760 --> 04:18.800 exacted against heretics, that is, true Bible-believing Christians, 04:19.840 --> 04:25.440 it is still difficult to be an evangelical in parts of Latin America and in Catholic 04:25.440 --> 04:26.680 strongholds in Europe. 04:27.640 --> 04:32.520 There, the truth is suppressed, and the average Catholic will likely never 04:32.520 --> 04:37.680 be confronted with the biblical Gospel in his or her entire lifetime. 04:38.940 --> 04:44.900 When visiting such areas, one sees first-hand the antagonism of Rome against 04:44.900 --> 04:50.200 the Gospel, and is able to appreciate better what it must have been like in 04:50.200 --> 04:51.460 Reformation times. 04:52.780 --> 04:57.960 Talking with acquaintances in Spain recently, Dave Hunt says, I asked them 04:57.960 --> 05:02.020 what life had been like as Roman Catholics, what they had believed, 05:02.140 --> 05:05.280 and how they had become Christians. 05:06.220 --> 05:08.460 The stories would make one weep. 05:09.540 --> 05:15.160 They went to Confession and Mass, prayed to the images of Mary and the 05:15.160 --> 05:21.260 Saints, lit candles, crossed themselves frequently, and hoped that the Roman 05:21.260 --> 05:23.820 Catholic Church would somehow get them to Heaven. 05:24.780 --> 05:29.500 They could only trust that after they died, friends and relatives would continue 05:29.500 --> 05:33.760 to have Masses said in their behalf to get them out of Purgatory. 05:34.900 --> 05:40.340 One man heard the Gospel in a cemetery where Catholics went on Holy Days to pray 05:40.340 --> 05:42.200 to the Saints and to their ancestors. 05:43.480 --> 05:49.420 Knowing this pagan custom, a small group of despised evangelicals had come there to 05:49.420 --> 05:50.280 give out literature. 05:51.460 --> 05:55.940 Another young man learned the Gospel from a tract which a friend had torn up in 05:55.940 --> 05:58.000 anger and threw to the ground. 05:59.060 --> 06:05.100 So starved was this devout Roman Catholic for the truth that he laboriously pieced 06:05.100 --> 06:09.260 that tract back together, read it, and was saved. 06:10.580 --> 06:15.620 Even long after the Reformation had gained a foothold, becoming a Christian could 06:15.620 --> 06:23.020 cost one's life in a Catholic country such as Spain or Italy or in the larger areas 06:23.020 --> 06:26.380 of Europe which remained fanatically Roman Catholic. 06:27.540 --> 06:33.200 Having dealt mainly with Europe in previous chapters, we turn our attention 06:33.200 --> 06:38.520 to England to see how the Protestant Reformation came to that land and how it 06:38.520 --> 06:39.900 is dishonored today. 06:41.080 --> 06:42.600 England was unique. 06:43.720 --> 06:48.380 The entire country eventually came under Protestant control. 06:49.480 --> 06:52.900 It therefore became a refuge for those who could reach it. 06:54.160 --> 06:54.440 D. 06:54.600 --> 06:59.920 Antonio Gavin, a Spanish Catholic priest who escaped to England after becoming a 06:59.920 --> 07:07.220 Christian in the early 18th century, wrote, quote, when it had pleased God by 07:07.220 --> 07:13.080 His grace to overcome in me the prejudices in favor of that corrupt church, 07:13.480 --> 07:18.640 speaking of the Roman Catholic Church, he says, in which I had been bred, 07:19.580 --> 07:22.160 I had to immediately quit Spain. 07:22.280 --> 07:25.360 In other words, he had to immediately abandon Spain. 07:25.480 --> 07:32.060 He had to leave Spain where all persons who had not publicly professed the Roman's 07:32.060 --> 07:34.600 religion were condemned to death. 07:35.440 --> 07:35.860 Unquote. 07:36.680 --> 07:40.620 That's right, in Spain it was the death penalty if you did not profess the Roman 07:40.620 --> 07:41.440 Catholic faith. 07:43.240 --> 07:53.420 Now we are going to speak now about Henry VIII, King of England, and how he was 07:53.420 --> 08:00.520 Roman Catholic to his death, but he got into a feud with the Pope, who then 08:00.520 --> 08:08.960 controlled England, over his refusal to grant Henry VIII an annulment from his 08:08.960 --> 08:13.520 marriage to Catherine in favor of Anne Boleyn. 08:14.640 --> 08:20.320 This started a rift between the King of England and the papacy. 08:21.240 --> 08:28.420 Now it says, even before Martin Luther's awakening, England had its own reformers, 08:28.900 --> 08:34.900 who called the consecrated host merely bread, denied that the priest had any 08:34.900 --> 08:40.760 special power to absolve sin, that the sacraments were necessary to salvation, 08:41.680 --> 08:46.440 or that pilgrimages, holy shrines, and prayers for the dead had any value 08:46.440 --> 08:47.100 whatsoever. 08:48.100 --> 08:54.100 They testified that, quote, man can be saved by faith alone, and the Bible, 08:54.620 --> 08:58.640 not the Roman Catholic Church, should be the sole rule of faith. 08:59.220 --> 08:59.720 Unquote. 09:00.960 --> 09:07.040 For their devotion, or rather for their deviation from Roman Catholicism, 09:07.440 --> 09:13.340 many of these now called heretics were consigned to the flames, even before the 09:13.340 --> 09:16.100 Reformation began in Germany in 1517. 09:17.520 --> 09:23.520 In contrast to the holy lives of these martyrs, the corruption of the English 09:23.520 --> 09:28.880 clergy and their church was all the more obvious to the common people. 09:29.980 --> 09:34.060 Even some church leaders spoke out against the rampant immorality. 09:35.300 --> 09:41.020 In 1489, Archbishop Morton denounced abbots, quote, living publicly and 09:41.020 --> 09:47.140 continually with harlots and mistresses, unquote, in their abbeys, and accused 09:47.140 --> 09:53.280 monks of a life of licentiousness, nay, of defiling the holy places, 09:53.480 --> 09:58.000 even the very churches of God, by infamous intercourse with the nuns, 09:58.240 --> 09:58.760 unquote. 09:59.860 --> 10:06.220 The church was hated for its taxes and great wealth that had impoverished the 10:06.220 --> 10:06.580 people. 10:07.600 --> 10:15.120 By 1500, the supposedly heavenly-minded church, the lowest, excuse me, 10:15.660 --> 10:21.840 the largest landowner by far in Europe, owned about one-fifth of all the property 10:21.840 --> 10:22.400 in England. 10:22.780 --> 10:25.800 So you can see how popular the Roman Catholic Church was. 10:26.800 --> 10:32.560 Because of bequests from dying Roman Catholics to help pay for masses to be 10:32.560 --> 10:38.120 said in their perpetuity to get them out of purgatory, they'd literally give the 10:38.120 --> 10:39.720 Roman Catholic Church their land. 10:39.820 --> 10:41.880 That's how Rome got all the land. 10:43.760 --> 10:51.340 Now, thus popular sentiment favored Henry VIII when he confronted the Pope over the 10:51.340 --> 10:53.940 matter of a divorce from his Spanish consort. 10:55.100 --> 11:00.040 A staunch Roman Catholic, Henry had been honored by the Pope with the title 11:00.040 --> 11:06.400 Defender of the Faith, a title still retained oddly by England's Protestant 11:06.400 --> 11:13.380 monarchs for his fervent polemic assertion of the Seven Sacraments against Martin 11:13.380 --> 11:13.740 Luther. 11:14.560 --> 11:20.720 So King Henry VIII spoke out against Martin Luther in a very popular work, 11:21.300 --> 11:27.420 and that ingratiated himself to the Pope, who then declared him to be the Defender 11:27.420 --> 11:34.620 of the Faith, a title that still is held by the supposed Protestant monarch of 11:34.620 --> 11:35.400 England today. 11:36.520 --> 11:41.780 Now it says, The King wanted an annulment from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon 11:41.780 --> 11:46.260 so he could marry the younger, more beautiful, and hopefully more 11:46.260 --> 11:47.840 fertile, Anne Boleyn. 11:48.880 --> 11:53.220 Catherine of Aragon, his lawful wife, was barren. 11:55.460 --> 12:01.180 Rome had recently granted Henry's sister, Margaret, Queen of Scotland, an annulment. 12:01.860 --> 12:06.720 But Pope Clement VII, held captive and pressured by Catherine's nephew, 12:07.000 --> 12:11.740 Emperor Charles V, refused to grant Henry's wish for an annulment. 12:12.420 --> 12:17.660 So Henry VIII broke with Rome and declared himself head of England's Roman Catholic 12:17.660 --> 12:18.200 Church. 12:19.220 --> 12:20.860 So he simply became the Pope. 12:21.020 --> 12:27.360 Henry VIII renounced the papacy out of a fit of anger because the Pope wouldn't 12:27.360 --> 12:28.440 grant him an annulment. 12:29.300 --> 12:34.820 So he just denounced the Pope and declared himself the Pope of England, is 12:34.820 --> 12:35.980 essentially what happened. 12:37.260 --> 12:43.580 Now he continues, backing the King, that is King Henry VIII, the House of 12:43.580 --> 12:48.800 Commons, which represents the people, pronounced numerous valid accusations 12:48.800 --> 12:50.780 against the Roman Catholic hierarchy. 12:51.460 --> 12:56.780 Quote, that the clergy exacted payment for the administration of the sacraments, 12:57.360 --> 13:03.600 that the bishops gave benefices to their young folks, that is, their bastard sons, 13:04.360 --> 13:10.380 calling them their nephews, that the Episcopal courts greedily exploited their 13:10.380 --> 13:15.540 right to levy taxes and fines, that these courts arrested persons and 13:15.540 --> 13:19.720 imprisoned them without stating the charges against them, etc. 13:20.140 --> 13:20.680 Unquote. 13:21.420 --> 13:28.000 The document ended by, quote, begging the King for reformation, in no way 13:28.000 --> 13:30.780 Protestant, however, of these ills. 13:30.780 --> 13:31.640 Unquote. 13:32.380 --> 13:39.660 So the new Pope of England, Pope Henry VIII, was essentially commissioned by the 13:39.660 --> 13:44.260 people through the House of Commons to reform the Church, to reform the Roman 13:44.260 --> 13:48.380 Catholic Church, to get the corruption out of the Roman Catholic Church, not to make 13:48.380 --> 13:49.040 it Protestant. 13:51.040 --> 13:58.020 Okay, Parliament eventually voted the Statute of Supremacy, November 11, 13:58.020 --> 14:04.920 1534, which effectively put Henry VIII, who was still every inch a Roman Catholic, 14:05.520 --> 14:08.380 in the Pope's place as head of the Church of England. 14:09.660 --> 14:15.600 Ironically, England's Protestant monarchs still retain that position today. 14:16.820 --> 14:23.280 Will Durant writes, quote, Henry was now the sole judge of what, in religion and 14:23.280 --> 14:26.200 politics, the English people were to believe. 14:27.260 --> 14:31.860 Since his theology was still Roman Catholic in every respect except the papal 14:31.860 --> 14:38.140 power, he made it a principle to persecute impartially Protestant critics and 14:38.140 --> 14:43.700 Catholic dogma, and Catholic critics of his equatiastical supremacy. 14:45.200 --> 14:48.520 Theological bonfires continued to the end of his reign. 14:49.340 --> 14:56.360 One engulfed a woman named Anne Askew, who kept to her heresy through five hours 14:56.360 --> 14:57.040 of questioning. 14:57.700 --> 15:04.220 Quote, that which you call your God, she said at her trial, is just a piece of 15:04.220 --> 15:04.660 bread. 15:05.620 --> 15:10.560 For proof thereof, let it lie in a box three months, and it'll be moldy, 15:10.880 --> 15:11.480 she said. 15:12.520 --> 15:18.080 She was tortured till nearly death to elicit from her the names of other 15:18.080 --> 15:18.640 heretics. 15:19.380 --> 15:23.660 She remained silent in her agony, and went to her death, she said, 15:23.760 --> 15:29.140 quote, as merry as one that is bound toward heaven, unquote. 15:30.700 --> 15:35.820 For the burning of Protestant heretics, the Bishop of Lincoln even offered, 15:36.300 --> 15:42.340 quote, an indulgence of forty days to good Christians who would carry a faggot to 15:42.340 --> 15:44.000 feed the fire, unquote. 15:45.400 --> 15:48.740 The reign of England's royal pope became one of terror. 15:50.220 --> 15:57.220 Henry's subjects never knew whose head would roll next, Catholic or Protestant. 15:58.120 --> 16:03.920 Now remember, Henry opposed the Protestants because they denounced all the 16:03.920 --> 16:11.000 heresies of the Roman Catholic Church, and the Catholics opposed Henry because he 16:11.000 --> 16:13.540 supplanted the pope in England. 16:14.800 --> 16:20.520 So poor Henry was hated by the people, all of them, Protestant and Catholic 16:20.520 --> 16:21.000 alike. 16:21.560 --> 16:24.280 So nobody knew whose head was going to roll next. 16:26.620 --> 16:33.380 Now Catholics, such as Bishop John Fisher and Thomas More, were executed for 16:33.380 --> 16:36.120 opposing the king as the head of England's church. 16:37.420 --> 16:41.900 Protestants too would oppose later Protestant monarchs for holding such a 16:41.900 --> 16:42.340 position. 16:43.180 --> 16:47.480 But no Protestant monarch would execute any subject on those grounds. 16:49.340 --> 16:56.720 Now, under the subtitle, Preparation for a Unique Role, Dave writes, Henry's 16:56.720 --> 17:00.680 tyrannical rule prepared England to play a unique role. 17:01.720 --> 17:04.940 Her religion thereafter would be that of her monarch. 17:06.020 --> 17:10.880 When the Protestant Reformation finally came to England, it became the religion of 17:10.880 --> 17:16.040 the entire country, thus making that island a refuge for those fleeing Roman 17:16.040 --> 17:17.740 Catholic persecution elsewhere. 17:18.740 --> 17:24.800 The French Huguenots escaping from Roman Catholic France, where they were being 17:24.800 --> 17:30.860 massacred, transformed English industry and brought great prosperity. 17:32.300 --> 17:36.980 Evangelical missionaries sent out from England's shores would take the gospel to 17:36.980 --> 17:38.260 every corner of the world. 17:39.180 --> 17:44.400 Durant summarizes it well, he said, Henry thought to replace the Pope while 17:44.400 --> 17:48.480 leaving unchanged the old faith, in other words, maintaining Roman 17:48.480 --> 17:49.340 Catholicism. 17:49.860 --> 17:55.620 But his successful defiance of the papacy, his swift dispersal of the monks and 17:55.620 --> 18:01.540 relics, his repeated humiliation of the clergy, his appropriation of church 18:01.540 --> 18:06.800 property, and his secularization of the government so weakened the ecclesiastical 18:06.800 --> 18:12.460 prestige and authority as to invite the theological changes that followed in the 18:12.460 --> 18:17.560 reigns of Edward and Elizabeth, who were Protestant, I will add. 18:18.280 --> 18:24.460 The elimination of the papacy from English affairs left the people for a time at the 18:24.460 --> 18:25.640 mercy of the state. 18:26.420 --> 18:31.580 But in the long run it compelled them to rely on themselves in checking their rules 18:31.580 --> 18:35.200 and claiming decade after decade a measure of freedom. 18:36.400 --> 18:43.380 Perhaps Elizabeth and Shakespeare could not have been, had not England been set 18:43.380 --> 18:47.800 free by her worst and strongest king, Henry VIII. 18:50.260 --> 18:51.640 That's the end of the quote. 18:51.760 --> 18:55.300 Now he continues, he says, The major preparation for the Reformation in 18:55.300 --> 18:59.140 England, however, would be through the circulation of scripture. 18:59.640 --> 19:09.780 Obviously, that is always the source, the recognized source for Reformation. 19:10.040 --> 19:15.800 When people actually sit down and read the scriptures, it says, Even during the reign 19:15.800 --> 19:21.520 of Henry VIII, copies of William Tyndale's English New Testament were smuggled in 19:21.520 --> 19:23.480 from Germany, where it was printed. 19:24.300 --> 19:29.040 The Bishop of London gathered all the copies he could find and publicly burned 19:29.040 --> 19:30.600 them at St. Paul's Cross. 19:31.560 --> 19:37.120 Nothing, however, not even a government ban on importation and possession of 19:37.120 --> 19:43.420 heretical works could stop the influx of scripture or the flame of redemption and 19:43.420 --> 19:47.040 freedom that its truth ignited in hungry hearts. 19:48.160 --> 19:52.740 When approved by an ardent Roman Catholic for his desire to translate and print the 19:52.740 --> 19:59.560 Bible in English, Tyndale had replied earnestly, quote, If God spare me life, 20:00.060 --> 20:05.160 ere many years I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the 20:05.160 --> 20:07.520 scripture than thou dost, unquote. 20:08.380 --> 20:13.540 That prayer was answered and the smoldering embers of truth in England were 20:13.540 --> 20:17.780 fanned into a conflagration that nothing could extinguish. 20:19.040 --> 20:21.840 Tyndale was burned at the stake in 1536. 20:23.060 --> 20:25.260 Henry VIII was still on the throne. 20:26.100 --> 20:32.580 The martyr's last words were, quote, Lord, open the King of England's eyes, 20:33.020 --> 20:33.580 unquote. 20:34.480 --> 20:36.840 Henry died in 1547. 20:37.360 --> 20:40.140 Yes, his eyes were still unopened. 20:41.380 --> 20:46.620 He, quote, left a large sum of money to pay for masses for the repose of his soul, 20:47.360 --> 20:47.780 unquote. 20:48.720 --> 20:53.240 This is exactly how the Roman Catholic Church became to be the most wealthy 20:53.240 --> 20:55.160 institution on the planet. 20:56.860 --> 21:04.340 He left a large sum of money for masses to be said after his decease for the repose 21:04.340 --> 21:05.060 of his soul. 21:07.140 --> 21:14.980 England's Reformation martyrs, Henry VIII's death opened the door to a 21:14.980 --> 21:16.460 weak Protestantism. 21:17.540 --> 21:24.380 His son, Henry VIII's son, Edward VI, was but a boy of ten when he succeeded his 21:24.380 --> 21:25.440 father to the throne. 21:26.320 --> 21:31.140 He became the pawn of unscrupulous counselors in a struggle between selfish 21:31.140 --> 21:37.960 landlords and nobles still in power and tenants and peasants being ground into 21:37.960 --> 21:38.480 poverty. 21:39.620 --> 21:43.940 Real freedom in either politics or religion was still a dream. 21:45.900 --> 21:53.040 Sickly since a child, Edward died at age 15, still too young to be blamed for his 21:53.040 --> 21:54.280 unfortunate reign. 21:55.520 --> 22:01.340 Lady Jane Grey, a devout Protestant, was forced onto the throne against her 22:01.340 --> 22:08.320 will in 1553 and was removed five days later when popular opinion swept the 22:08.320 --> 22:11.200 rightful heir, Mary Tudor, into power. 22:12.280 --> 22:18.360 A fervent Roman Catholic faith had sustained Mary during years of illness and 22:18.360 --> 22:18.940 exile. 22:20.120 --> 22:26.200 She soon earned the name by which history still remembers her, Bloody Mary. 22:27.380 --> 22:29.760 Isn't it just biblical? 22:30.880 --> 22:36.080 Isn't it just prophetic that when a Roman Catholic monarch comes to the throne, 22:36.220 --> 22:37.300 the blood flows? 22:38.760 --> 22:43.840 By law, Roman Catholic worship became the official religion again. 22:44.980 --> 22:51.760 Quote, Protestantism and other so-called heresies were made illegal and all 22:51.760 --> 22:54.480 Protestant preaching and publication was prohibited. 22:54.940 --> 22:55.380 Unquote. 22:56.200 --> 23:02.060 One of the first unfortunate victims was Jane Grey, who, before laying her head on 23:02.060 --> 23:05.500 the executioner's block, testified to the watching crowd. 23:05.640 --> 23:13.320 Quote, I do look to be saved by no other means but only by the mercy of God in the 23:13.320 --> 23:16.820 blood of his only son, Jesus Christ. 23:17.440 --> 23:23.000 And I confess that when I did know the word of God, I neglected the same, 23:24.040 --> 23:30.220 loved myself and the world, and yet I thank God that of his goodness he hath 23:30.220 --> 23:33.420 given me respite to repent. 23:34.380 --> 23:38.220 Lord, into thy hands I commit my spirit. 23:38.840 --> 23:39.340 Unquote. 23:40.680 --> 23:45.260 At first, much of England favored the return to Catholicism. 23:45.920 --> 23:48.480 Most of the people didn't understand the issues. 23:49.620 --> 23:55.060 Ironically, the persecution of dissenters during Bloody Mary's five-year reign of 23:55.060 --> 23:57.820 terror would make the truth known. 23:58.720 --> 24:04.980 Quote, the sufferers looked upon their trials and executions as providentially 24:04.980 --> 24:07.660 ordained forms of public witness of the gospel. 24:08.400 --> 24:08.720 Unquote. 24:09.780 --> 24:11.180 Church historian R. 24:11.340 --> 24:16.940 Tudor Jones writes, the majority of the martyrs were ordinary people, including 24:16.940 --> 24:17.640 many women. 24:18.400 --> 24:21.140 And we'll continue with the quote when we come back from the break. 24:21.520 --> 24:27.060 You're listening to Inquisition Update on firstamendmentradio.com, Protestant Radio. 24:27.320 --> 24:28.600 Come back after the break. 24:29.200 --> 24:32.040 We'll give you some more very, very important history that has been 24:32.040 --> 24:33.060 forgotten today. 24:34.040

Left Behind fictional book series? 25:39.550 --> 25:42.850 Not everyone believes Left Behind is true prophecy. 25:43.330 --> 25:49.490 Some may even regard as conspiratorial the mainstream re-release of the Left Behind 25:49.490 --> 25:54.930 movie, with actor Nicholas Cage portraying the main character, as an attempt to 25:54.930 --> 26:00.390 further reinforce, in the minds of all, this perception of false prophecy, 26:00.790 --> 26:05.530 in order to condition the masses for the play about to begin. 26:05.930 --> 26:10.410 Because they see the world stage shaping to fulfill what they have been led to 26:10.410 --> 26:17.070 believe is sound biblical interpretation, a Left Behind rapture scenario, 26:17.570 --> 26:22.890 this false view of prophecy is reinforced in the mind, not only of its adherence, 26:23.470 --> 26:29.470 but also includes those who have been merely exposed to the specific media. 26:30.070 --> 26:33.130 Is it possible that false prophecy can be fulfilled? 26:33.570 --> 26:36.210 The rapture theories have always been in dispute. 26:36.710 --> 26:43.690 Pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib disputes have risen up in exclusively evangelical 26:43.690 --> 26:50.130 circles of recent history, so that when true believers don't suddenly disappear, 26:50.650 --> 26:57.510 this element will easily go by the wayside when all see a new Jewish temple begin to 26:57.510 --> 26:57.990 be built. 26:58.370 --> 27:02.890 Will this be part of the great delusion that will come upon the whole earth? 27:03.110 --> 27:08.830 It seems that this great prophetic delusion has already overcome practically 27:08.830 --> 27:13.790 the entire American evangelical and Christian world. 27:14.090 --> 27:17.310 Get the book, The Rapture Will Be Cancelled.

Dave Hunt. 29:22.250 --> 29:27.210 It says at first, much of England favored the return to Roman Catholicism. 29:27.810 --> 29:30.590 Most of the people simply didn't understand the issues. 29:31.670 --> 29:37.250 Ironically, the persecution of dissenters during bloody Queen Mary's five-year reign 29:37.250 --> 29:39.450 would make the truth known. 29:39.450 --> 29:46.850 Quote, the sufferers looked upon their trials and executions as providentially 29:46.850 --> 29:50.850 ordained forms of public witness to the gospel. 29:51.310 --> 29:51.730 Unquote. 29:52.730 --> 29:54.370 Church historian R. 29:54.450 --> 30:00.270 Tudor Jones writes, quote, the majority of the martyrs were ordinary people, 30:00.590 --> 30:01.490 including women. 30:01.490 --> 30:08.010 The lengthy interrogations of scores of these people have survived, and they 30:08.010 --> 30:13.030 concentrate on such topics as their beliefs in the Bible and its authority, 30:13.950 --> 30:20.870 transubstantiation, their attitude towards such Roman Catholic practices as the cult 30:20.870 --> 30:24.930 of saints, prayers for the dead, and purgatory. 30:25.830 --> 30:32.150 One cannot be but impressed by the rigor and ability with which these simple people 30:32.150 --> 30:38.050 defended themselves, as well as by the immense courage of the sufferers in the 30:38.050 --> 30:40.030 face of unspeakable agony. 30:40.730 --> 30:41.210 Unquote. 30:41.990 --> 30:45.910 The persecution of the saints, the Bible identifies these people, 30:46.670 --> 30:48.330 makes special record of them. 30:50.210 --> 30:54.650 They're waiting for their spirits to be avenged. 30:55.710 --> 31:01.990 That day is fast approaching, but not before Rome takes another draught, 31:02.930 --> 31:07.150 another deep draught in the blood of God's people. 31:07.150 --> 31:10.230 And it's going to happen right here in America. 31:11.550 --> 31:15.810 We have been taken over by the Roman Catholic Church. 31:16.050 --> 31:19.890 This country has become Roman Catholic. 31:20.630 --> 31:25.110 Its Protestants have renounced Protestantism and have joined ecumenically 31:25.110 --> 31:26.690 with the Roman Catholic Church. 31:27.370 --> 31:33.270 These days that we're speaking of in England right now are going to be seen and 31:33.270 --> 31:38.810 felt in this country from border to border and from coast to coast. 31:39.210 --> 31:45.850 This country potentially faces the greatest bloodshed that has ever been seen 31:45.850 --> 31:46.530 in the world. 31:48.150 --> 31:51.710 Because the Protestants no more protest. 31:52.790 --> 31:58.570 They've been Jesuitized, they've been Romanized through Futurism. 31:59.030 --> 32:03.950 The idea that the Pope never was the Antichrist, that the Antichrist is a 32:03.950 --> 32:08.510 single individual that won't appear until seven years before Christ's return. 32:09.270 --> 32:13.610 And this is the very foundation for the ecumenical movement. 32:13.830 --> 32:20.710 This is the very foundation for the unity, the blasphemous unity now between those 32:20.710 --> 32:25.690 who once called themselves Protestants and the Roman Catholic Church. 32:25.690 --> 32:33.810 We're talking about the history of Protestantism so that my listeners can 32:33.810 --> 32:46.750 clearly understand what is imminent in this country because of Futurism and 32:46.750 --> 32:49.290 Ecumenism that resulted from it. 32:50.290 --> 32:58.070 The very foundation for the Roman Catholic overthrow of our country was the lie that 32:58.070 --> 33:05.670 was told in the late 1800s by a Jesuit priest by the name of Ribera, picked up by 33:05.670 --> 33:13.640 people who were supposedly Protestants, that the Pope was not the Antichrist. 33:14.560 --> 33:24.340 That Daniel chapter 9 verse 27 did not, as all true Bible believers believed, 33:24.980 --> 33:27.740 was speaking of none other but Jesus Christ. 33:28.620 --> 33:35.740 They believed the Jesuit lie that Daniel chapter 9 verse 27 was talking about the 33:35.740 --> 33:36.580 Antichrist. 33:38.980 --> 33:45.620 That Jesus was not the one who caused the sacrifices and oblations to cease when he 33:45.620 --> 33:53.240 gave up his own life on the cross, but that Antichrist, just seven years 33:53.240 --> 33:57.760 before the return of Christ, would cause the sacrifices and oblations to cease. 34:00.870 --> 34:09.270 And in order to fulfill that Jesuit false prophecy, the twisting of the scripture 34:09.270 --> 34:14.950 for his own destruction and the destruction of God's people required the 34:14.950 --> 34:19.110 creation of a modern nation state of Israel with Jews living in the land and a 34:19.110 --> 34:25.810 temple and animal sacrifices and a seven year peace treaty and a phony Antichrist. 34:28.010 --> 34:31.850 One who would cause the sacrifices and oblations to cease. 34:32.970 --> 34:36.990 One that would convince the whole world that he was the fulfillment of that 34:36.990 --> 34:43.310 prophecy, was the very Antichrist of the Bible, and once put out of the way, 34:43.750 --> 34:51.270 by whatever means, the Pope can now ride into Jerusalem on the colt, the foal of an 34:51.270 --> 34:55.770 ass, and proclaim himself the Jewish and the world Messiah. 34:58.250 --> 35:01.530 You see what happens when you forget your Protestantism? 35:02.680 --> 35:06.690 When you forget your historicism and exchange it for futurism? 35:06.690 --> 35:14.650 All of a sudden you're blinded to the fact, the historical prophetic fact, 35:15.270 --> 35:20.510 that the Pope is, the papacy is, was, and always will be the Antichrist of 35:20.510 --> 35:20.910 the Bible. 35:21.770 --> 35:25.670 Only the papacy fulfills all the prophecies in the Bible regarding 35:25.670 --> 35:26.290 Antichrist. 35:26.390 --> 35:31.650 There's no candidate ever in the history of the world, no other candidate for 35:31.650 --> 35:33.030 Antichrist but the papacy. 35:34.230 --> 35:41.430 You can't twist history enough to show someone else to be the Antichrist but the 35:41.430 --> 35:42.130 Pope of Rome. 35:43.010 --> 35:55.170 God has made it so difficult to change the truth through the evolution of history, 35:56.390 --> 36:01.650 as to make anyone who asserts that anyone but the papacy is the Antichrist is a 36:01.650 --> 36:02.250 buffoon. 36:05.190 --> 36:12.490 But yet, the whole professing Christian world believes that the Antichrist won't 36:12.490 --> 36:14.430 come till the last seven years of time. 36:15.430 --> 36:15.810 Why? 36:16.010 --> 36:24.250 Because the Jesuits simply changed the identity of the he spoken of in Daniel 36:24.250 --> 36:30.270 chapter 9 verse 27 to be not Christ, not Jesus 2000 years ago. 36:30.270 --> 36:34.250 Who perfectly and completely fulfilled that prophecy. 36:37.190 --> 36:46.850 But that he, in Daniel chapter 9 verse 27, is an Antichrist that comes 2000 years 36:46.850 --> 36:47.430 later. 36:50.790 --> 36:52.650 And the world is prepared to receive him. 36:53.330 --> 36:59.570 The whole Christian world is prepared to receive this phony Antichrist. 36:59.570 --> 37:02.870 It's an unspeakable reality. 37:03.510 --> 37:05.450 We've forgotten the Christian martyrs. 37:06.250 --> 37:11.110 We've forgotten the real Antichrist, the reality that the papacy is the 37:11.110 --> 37:11.550 Antichrist. 37:11.670 --> 37:12.490 We've forgotten that. 37:13.270 --> 37:17.810 We've forgotten all the Christian martyrs, all the way from the Albigensians and the 37:17.810 --> 37:29.550 Waldensians, all the way up to the Protestant Reformers. 37:33.070 --> 37:35.570 That's why they're going back to Rome. 37:38.450 --> 37:48.190 But did you ever stop to realize that this now gives the Pope a mandate in Washington 37:48.190 --> 37:49.070 D.C.? 37:49.070 --> 37:55.730 You see, the Catholics in the early history of our country were opposed by 37:55.730 --> 37:56.370 Protestants. 37:58.410 --> 38:03.330 The early Protestants of this country demanded that Roman Catholics not have any 38:03.330 --> 38:04.330 power in the country. 38:05.710 --> 38:08.170 They couldn't obtain public office. 38:09.290 --> 38:11.190 They couldn't be judges. 38:12.790 --> 38:14.890 They couldn't be school teachers. 38:16.330 --> 38:17.990 They couldn't be policemen. 38:19.430 --> 38:26.650 In the early colonial days, the full and correct understanding of Daniel 9, 38:26.750 --> 38:29.850 verse 27, was in the heart of every Protestant. 38:31.890 --> 38:35.870 Jesus caused the sacrifice and oblation to cease 2,000 years ago. 38:39.560 --> 38:41.300 And the Pope was the Antichrist. 38:45.200 --> 38:54.860 And they fled to this country to avoid papal slaughter for denouncing him as 38:54.860 --> 38:55.540 Antichrist. 38:56.660 --> 39:00.300 They came to this country with a full knowledge of what the Pope represented in 39:00.300 --> 39:00.700 the world. 39:03.390 --> 39:09.110 The earlier settlers of this country knew full well what the papacy represented. 39:14.050 --> 39:15.670 But look what's happened today. 39:20.170 --> 39:22.050 Look what has happened today. 39:23.530 --> 39:27.570 Now that papacy that was fled, 39:32.700 --> 39:38.220 he now has a political and a religious mandate in this country. 39:40.480 --> 39:48.480 And it could not have happened without the help of those who used to protest the 39:48.480 --> 39:48.920 papacy. 39:53.650 --> 39:56.190 It's an incredible reality. 39:58.630 --> 40:06.210 And what the United States faces now, because of the Pope's supremacy over our 40:06.210 --> 40:13.390 government, only but a handful of people in this country can comprehend it. 40:14.690 --> 40:16.670 Because the rest have been blinded. 40:22.020 --> 40:27.540 There's hardly going to be any opposition to the total Catholicization of this 40:27.540 --> 40:27.920 country. 40:33.280 --> 40:37.240 Inquisition update will be swept aside as a heresy. 40:40.860 --> 40:45.300 My whole library at the Roman Catholic Church, or the public officials of the 40:45.300 --> 40:49.740 city and town where I live, if they get their hands on it, they'll burn it in the 40:49.740 --> 40:51.100 street right in front of my house. 40:54.370 --> 40:56.250 They don't want this information out. 40:58.650 --> 40:59.210 Why? 41:00.130 --> 41:03.430 They have the prospects of a global unity. 41:04.910 --> 41:07.050 A whole new order. 41:08.990 --> 41:15.190 They don't want any Protestants to put a damper on their ecumenical party. 41:18.110 --> 41:22.290 And those who continue to speak out against the papacy are going to be 41:22.290 --> 41:25.350 persecuted like no other people in the history of this world. 41:30.030 --> 41:32.630 You won't be able to trust your own mother. 41:37.730 --> 41:41.130 They're going to ask my mother, where's your son? 41:42.730 --> 41:43.930 He's a heretic. 41:45.750 --> 41:50.330 You give him up, or we're going to treat you just like him. 41:55.640 --> 41:57.980 And to save their lives, they'll give up their sons. 42:00.840 --> 42:04.080 History is about to repeat itself all over again. 42:05.660 --> 42:09.980 We, like the Jews, have learned nothing from history. 42:11.580 --> 42:13.320 We've forgotten God's law. 42:14.020 --> 42:16.500 We've made void God's law. 42:16.500 --> 42:21.440 And we've given up the knowledge that God gave us through the Protestant 42:21.440 --> 42:21.860 Reformation. 42:22.880 --> 42:27.260 We've forgotten what those who even preceded the Protestant Reformers, 42:28.080 --> 42:34.500 those who died, were tortured, were slaughtered and slain and debauched. 42:35.460 --> 42:41.460 To the tune of millions and millions of them, who all stood confidently in the 42:41.460 --> 42:41.920 flames. 42:41.920 --> 42:44.940 I commend my soul to Christ. 42:45.580 --> 42:48.240 Your God is just a piece of bread. 42:48.900 --> 42:53.320 Your priest is a debauchee, a counterfeit. 42:53.960 --> 42:56.480 Your confessional box is a sewer. 42:57.500 --> 42:59.520 We've forgotten all of our Protestant history. 43:00.420 --> 43:02.240 And it's going to be the death of this country. 43:02.440 --> 43:05.320 It's going to be the absolute annihilation of this country. 43:06.280 --> 43:07.460 Spiritually dead. 43:07.460 --> 43:15.580 Dave Hunt continues, he says, John Fox was an eyewitness, an earnest historian of 43:15.580 --> 43:17.240 this fierce persecution. 43:18.220 --> 43:23.600 His Book of Martyrs gives detailed accounts of many public trials and 43:23.600 --> 43:24.360 executions. 43:25.200 --> 43:30.500 After Queen Mary's demise, a copy of that classic was chained to every pulpit in 43:30.500 --> 43:34.280 England to make it available to be read by all. 43:34.280 --> 43:35.780 Fox's Book of Martyrs. 43:35.860 --> 43:37.680 Have you ever even heard of it in this country? 43:38.520 --> 43:41.920 How many of my listeners have even read Fox's Book of Martyrs? 43:42.560 --> 43:46.900 You've got to ask yourself after reading that book, why didn't my pastor ever tell 43:46.900 --> 43:47.800 me about this book? 43:48.400 --> 43:52.320 That is a very, very, very good question. 43:52.940 --> 43:59.460 One that will confirm the suspicions that I am purposely planting in your mind. 44:00.080 --> 44:02.440 Where did your pastor come from? 44:02.440 --> 44:04.760 Who is he working for? 44:04.900 --> 44:06.340 Is he working for Christ? 44:07.000 --> 44:08.540 Or is he working for Antichrist? 44:09.840 --> 44:12.680 You know, he can preach Jesus till the cows come home. 44:12.900 --> 44:16.860 If he secretly bows to the Pope, he's going to lead you down that same 44:16.860 --> 44:17.280 road. 44:17.600 --> 44:19.700 Down that same ecumenical road. 44:20.460 --> 44:25.100 John Fox's book, the Book of Martyrs, gives detailed accounts of many public 44:25.100 --> 44:26.480 trials and executions. 44:26.480 --> 44:34.860 After Queen Mary's demise, bloody Queen Mary's demise, Roman Catholic Inquisitor 44:34.860 --> 44:36.480 Queen Mary's demise. 44:37.440 --> 44:42.200 A copy of that classic was chained to every pulpit in England to make it 44:42.200 --> 44:43.900 available to be read by all. 44:44.760 --> 44:51.260 Fox tells how imprisoned Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, out of fear, signed a submission 44:51.260 --> 44:54.480 to Rome and affirmed transubstantiation. 44:56.820 --> 45:05.280 On March 21st, 1556, he was brought before an overflow crowd at St. Mary's Church in 45:05.280 --> 45:08.380 Oxford to publicly recant his heresies. 45:09.080 --> 45:15.520 Gathering the courage he had previously lacked, Cranmer turned the tables on his 45:15.520 --> 45:22.740 Roman Catholic oppressors and boldly declared, And now, for as much as I have 45:22.740 --> 45:28.280 come to the end of my life, I see before mine eyes either heaven ready to receive 45:28.280 --> 45:31.400 me, or else hell ready to swallow me up. 45:32.080 --> 45:36.220 I shall therefore declare unto you my very faith, how I believe you. 45:36.660 --> 45:42.600 And after he did so, he said, And now I come to the great thing which so much 45:42.600 --> 45:44.280 troubleth my conscience. 45:44.280 --> 45:49.680 More than anything that ever I did or said in my whole life. 45:50.560 --> 45:54.700 And that is the setting abroad of a writing contrary to the truth, 45:55.260 --> 45:59.760 which now I renounce as written for fear of death. 46:00.480 --> 46:07.860 And for as much as my hand hath offended, writing contrary to my heart, therefore my 46:07.860 --> 46:10.060 hand shall first be punished. 46:10.060 --> 46:15.200 And when I come to the fire, it shall first be burned. 46:15.940 --> 46:20.060 And as for the Pope, I refuse him as Christ's enemy. 46:20.980 --> 46:27.720 And Antichrist, with all of his false doctrines, promised Cranmer upon his 46:27.720 --> 46:30.820 death, told the world the truth. 46:31.620 --> 46:36.240 Forget your futurism that comes straight from the Jesuit pits of hell. 46:36.240 --> 46:43.980 There is no future Antichrist unless you continue in the Protestant belief that the 46:43.980 --> 46:50.720 papacy is, was, and always will be the Antichrist of the Bible and prophecy and 46:50.720 --> 46:51.260 history. 46:51.900 --> 47:00.340 And repent, because the end of our country, once Protestant, is before our 47:00.340 --> 47:01.180 very eyes. 47:02.020 --> 47:04.800 What foolishness has overcome God's people? 47:04.800 --> 47:10.620 It says the shock papists shouted him down and led him off to his execution outside 47:10.620 --> 47:16.180 Oxford University Ballyhall College, at the same spot where Bishops Hugh 47:16.180 --> 47:21.360 Latimer and Nicholas Ridley had been burned six months before. 47:22.160 --> 47:28.760 Fox relates that Cranmer made good his pledge, quote, stretching out his right 47:28.760 --> 47:29.180 hand. 47:29.880 --> 47:34.100 He held it unshrinkingly in the fire until it was burnt to a cinder. 47:34.800 --> 47:36.960 Even before his body was injured. 47:37.800 --> 47:42.620 Frequently exclaiming the whole time, quote, this unworthy right hand, 47:43.120 --> 47:45.100 this unworthy right hand. 47:46.020 --> 47:49.400 And he did so as long as his voice would suffer him. 47:50.260 --> 47:55.280 Interspersed with the words of Stephen, Lord Jesus receive my spirit. 47:56.080 --> 47:59.880 Until in the greatness of the flame, he gave up the ghost. 48:01.120 --> 48:04.100 That right hand betrayed him. 48:04.720 --> 48:08.160 And he wrote a work, he wrote a work that was widely spread. 48:09.100 --> 48:14.540 Saying that he believed in the power of the priest to change the wafer into Jesus 48:14.540 --> 48:15.140 Christ. 48:15.780 --> 48:18.760 Body, soul, blood and divinity. 48:19.720 --> 48:21.820 And that it should be worshipped as a God. 48:22.580 --> 48:26.060 But in the flames he recanted, told the truth. 48:26.060 --> 48:34.300 A truth that could have, if it had been remembered, could have saved the United 48:34.300 --> 48:35.500 States of America. 48:36.260 --> 48:41.680 It says in front of Balliol College in Oxford, there is a stone cross built into 48:41.680 --> 48:43.020 the cobblestone street. 48:43.820 --> 48:46.460 And a small plaque on the wall of the building opposite. 48:46.460 --> 48:52.980 It marks the place where Cranmer, Ridley and Latimer were burned for 48:52.980 --> 48:55.460 rejecting transubstantiation. 48:57.160 --> 49:03.020 Around the corner on a large avenue, a weathered monument has stood in silent 49:03.020 --> 49:05.660 witness for 153 years. 49:06.420 --> 49:10.160 It's scarcely noticed or even visited these days. 49:10.160 --> 49:14.040 Those few who pause read these words. 49:14.720 --> 49:19.200 To the glory of God and in grateful commemoration of his servants Thomas 49:19.200 --> 49:21.940 Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer. 49:22.600 --> 49:27.380 Prelates of the Church of England, who near this spot yielded their bodies to 49:27.380 --> 49:27.940 be burned. 49:28.460 --> 49:32.760 Bearing witness to the sacred truths which they had affirmed and maintained against 49:32.760 --> 49:34.540 the errors of the Church of Rome. 49:34.540 --> 49:40.700 And rejoicing that to them it was given not only to believe on Jesus Christ, 49:40.740 --> 49:43.580 but also to suffer for his sake. 49:44.200 --> 49:49.940 This monument was erected by public subscription in the year of our Lord, 49:50.340 --> 49:51.340 1841. 49:52.480 --> 49:53.200 1841. 49:54.360 --> 50:00.260 And you know that England, despite her profession of Protestantism, is just as 50:00.260 --> 50:05.560 ecumenical, just as Roman Catholic, as is Rome itself. 50:06.320 --> 50:08.120 What a horrible reality. 50:08.780 --> 50:11.740 The last bastions of Protestantism in the world. 50:12.660 --> 50:15.980 England and the United States have repudiated the Gospel. 50:15.980 --> 50:18.240 They repudiated Christ. 50:19.220 --> 50:22.960 And they've made their bed with the horror of Rome and they've come down with a 50:22.960 --> 50:26.300 spiritual venereal disease that is lethal and fatal. 50:27.180 --> 50:30.060 Unless they repent, there's no hope. 50:30.620 --> 50:33.660 Unless they repent, there is no hope. 50:34.080 --> 50:40.040 Durant writes that as, quote, as the Holocaust advanced, it became clear that 50:40.040 --> 50:41.180 it had been a mistake. 50:42.200 --> 50:47.040 Protestantism grew strength from its martyrs, as early Christianity had done. 50:47.420 --> 50:52.380 And many Catholics were disturbed in their faith and shamed in their Queen by the 50:52.380 --> 50:54.760 sufferings and fortitude of the victims. 50:55.420 --> 51:02.440 As for Queen Bloody Mary, she showed to an England still Catholic the worst side of 51:02.440 --> 51:04.500 the Roman Catholic Church she served. 51:05.500 --> 51:11.760 When she died, England was readier than ever before to accept the new faith that 51:11.760 --> 51:13.740 she had labored to destroy. 51:14.760 --> 51:17.160 True Biblical Christianity. 53:02.320 --> 53:06.420 You will notice that there are few commercials on this radio network. 53:07.080 --> 53:08.540 There's a good reason for that. 53:09.060 --> 53:13.540 Corporate advertising dollars come with strings that limit program content. 53:14.080 --> 53:18.620 So without your help, these programs cannot continue on satellite, internet, 53:18.820 --> 53:21.140

Arthur's new book titled, When the Third Temple is 54:46.600 --> 54:46.920 Built. 54:47.160 --> 54:48.900 That's crosstheborder.org. 54:49.080 --> 54:52.960 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 54:52.960 --> 54:57.560 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 54:57.560 --> 54:58.360 begin to be built. 54:58.360 --> 55:00.180 The plans are drawn. 55:00.280 --> 55:01.600 The Jewish people are eager. 55:02.220 --> 55:05.920 Most Evangelical Christians today believe that the rapture will happen before the 55:05.920 --> 55:06.920 Third Temple is built. 55:07.160 --> 55:08.880 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 55:09.420 --> 55:12.060 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 55:12.680 --> 55:14.300 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 55:14.960 --> 55:17.900 Have we searched the Scriptures and found this to be true? 55:18.620 --> 55:22.240 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 55:22.240 --> 55:23.100 Temple in Jerusalem? 55:23.100 --> 55:28.340 Is it necessary to build a Temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 55:28.340 --> 55:28.800 of the Rock? 55:29.320 --> 55:33.380 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the Temple on Temple Mount? 55:33.920 --> 55:37.160 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 55:38.000 --> 55:39.440 What is the New Testament Temple? 55:40.300 --> 55:42.400 Can we identify history and prophecy? 55:43.460 --> 55:46.180 Who is the first beast in Revelation Chapter 13? 55:46.740 --> 55:49.420 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 55:49.420 --> 55:53.780 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 55:54.360 --> 55:58.600 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 55:58.600 --> 56:00.200 Scripture to interpret Scripture. 56:00.860 --> 56:04.340 The Bible says that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private 56:04.340 --> 56:04.620 interpretation. 56:05.880 --> 56:08.780 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 56:08.940 --> 56:13.400 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 56:14.400 --> 56:23.520 Visit crosstheborder.org to get your print, e-pub, or PDF version of Nicholas 56:23.520 --> 56:26.780 Arthur's new book titled, When the Third
