WEBVTT 00:40.860 --> 00:45.520 A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave Hunt 00:50.720 --> 00:52.440 very educational. 00:53.860 --> 01:00.020 We're continuing in the chapter entitled, The Reformation Betrayed, speaking of 01:00.020 --> 01:06.900 Roman Catholicism and leading into a discussion about ecumenism, which is 01:06.900 --> 01:09.700 indeed the betrayal of the Protestant Reformation. 01:11.100 --> 01:19.540 But Dave Hunt quotes a Roman Catholic apologist who interviewed Roman Catholics 01:19.540 --> 01:22.940 and asked them certain questions. 01:24.300 --> 01:28.620 And of their responses, he says, quote, and by the way, if you're following 01:28.620 --> 01:34.860 along, we're on page 408, about halfway down the page, the quote by Peter Kreeft 01:34.860 --> 01:35.620 is his name. 01:36.560 --> 01:41.480 He says, Over the past 25 years, I have asked hundreds of Catholic college 01:41.480 --> 01:47.340 students the question, if you should die tonight, and God asked you why he should 01:47.340 --> 01:50.040 let you into heaven, what would you answer? 01:50.860 --> 01:54.980 The vast majority of them simply do not know the right answer to this. 01:55.120 --> 01:59.400 The most important of all questions, the very essence of Christianity. 02:00.860 --> 02:04.860 They usually do not even mention Jesus, unquote. 02:06.040 --> 02:14.320 So this is an admission, in a sense, that Roman Catholicism does not teach the 02:14.320 --> 02:17.480 gospel of Jesus Christ, according to the Bible. 02:18.640 --> 02:25.660 It's an admission that most Roman Catholic college students don't even mention Jesus 02:25.660 --> 02:27.460 when they're discussing salvation. 02:28.980 --> 02:34.120 The Roman Catholic Church teaches salvation by other means, sacramental 02:34.120 --> 02:39.400 means, by means of works, and not grace. 02:40.140 --> 02:46.220 Dave continues, he says, Here we have an admission that the Roman Catholic Church 02:46.220 --> 02:52.680 does not teach salvation by grace through faith, in such a manner that most 02:52.680 --> 02:54.180 Catholics understand it. 02:55.520 --> 03:00.560 Martin Luther, John Calvin, and the other reformers did not come to know the 03:00.560 --> 03:04.140 biblical gospel from their many years as devout Roman Catholics. 03:04.800 --> 03:09.520 In fact, they claimed that Rome didn't teach this truth, and they appealed to her 03:09.520 --> 03:10.540 to do so. 03:11.000 --> 03:13.140 But her answer was no. 03:13.820 --> 03:16.080 Trust me, she still says no. 03:16.220 --> 03:21.860 She will not preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, because it's not the church of 03:21.860 --> 03:24.480 Jesus Christ, it's the church of Antichrist. 03:25.820 --> 03:30.900 In the same book, Kreef claims that Rome has always taught and still teaches the 03:30.900 --> 03:36.280 true gospel, and that the Protestant Reformation was based upon an unfortunate 03:36.280 --> 03:37.220 misunderstanding. 03:38.260 --> 03:44.160 Yet that quote-unquote misunderstanding, by his own admission, persists to this day 03:44.160 --> 03:48.060 in the minds of intelligent college students who have grown up in the Roman 03:48.060 --> 03:48.880 Catholic Church. 03:49.520 --> 03:49.900 Why? 03:50.660 --> 03:52.320 Because it's not a misunderstanding. 03:53.520 --> 03:59.860 Rome has added to justification by faith a complex system of religion by which 03:59.860 --> 04:02.020 Catholics embrace a false gospel. 04:02.960 --> 04:07.720 This is the very perversion of the gospel that Paul cursed in Galatians chapter 1 04:07.720 --> 04:09.340 verse 6 through 9. 04:10.360 --> 04:16.640 A missionary friend of the author, Dave Hunt, who has spent years in 04:16.640 --> 04:22.240 door-to-door and street evangelism in Roman Catholic Spain, readily related 04:22.240 --> 04:28.560 sadly, quote, I have yet to talk to a single Roman Catholic over here who can 04:28.560 --> 04:32.700 explain what the gospel is, or just what it takes to be saved. 04:33.680 --> 04:40.440 They are incredulous when I explain that I am assured of going to heaven after I die, 04:40.800 --> 04:43.960 because the scriptures say so, and God doesn't lie. 04:44.900 --> 04:49.340 None of them would say that it is sufficient only to believe in Jesus to be 04:49.340 --> 04:54.900 saved, or that the blood of Jesus alone is in itself a sufficient price paid to 04:54.900 --> 04:56.780 redeem them from the curse of sin. 04:57.960 --> 05:03.500 The more involved they are in Roman Catholicism, the more firmly it seems that 05:03.500 --> 05:09.520 they hold to the necessity of works added to their so-called faith. 05:10.400 --> 05:10.860 Unquote. 05:12.320 --> 05:14.760 A flickering candle of truth. 05:15.880 --> 05:21.060 If we truly love the lost souls about us, no matter what their religious 05:21.060 --> 05:26.400 affiliations, we will increase our efforts to bring them the truth of the gospel 05:26.400 --> 05:28.160 before it's forever too late. 05:29.240 --> 05:34.300 Such was the passion of Bishop Hugh Latimer, England's most powerful preacher 05:34.300 --> 05:41.500 in his day, he had dared to explain the errors of transubstantiation, and of 05:41.500 --> 05:47.460 Rome's false gospel, even during the reign of Roman Catholic Henry VIII, for which he 05:47.460 --> 05:49.480 was imprisoned in the Tower of London. 05:50.940 --> 05:56.520 Released when King Edward came to power, Latimer continued his passionate preaching 05:56.520 --> 06:01.080 of the gospel of salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of 06:01.080 --> 06:09.280 Christ, until, under Roman Catholic Bloody Mary, he was imprisoned again and burnt at 06:09.280 --> 06:12.780 Balliol College on October 16th of 1555. 06:14.440 --> 06:19.600 Bound back to back with iron chains at the same stake with Bishop Nicholas Ridley, 06:20.440 --> 06:25.180 Latimer was heard to call out to his companion in martyrdom as the flames 06:25.180 --> 06:26.000 engulfed them. 06:26.740 --> 06:27.740 Here's what he said. 06:28.500 --> 06:32.080 Be of good courage, Master Ridley, and play the man. 06:32.980 --> 06:38.400 We shall this day, by God's grace, light such a candle in England as I trust 06:38.400 --> 06:46.560 will never be put out." Such is the heritage of today's Protestants, 06:46.600 --> 06:51.340 which evangelical leaders are now dishonoring and even repudiating. 06:52.540 --> 06:57.980 Christian leaders who likely would not have known the gospel but for the martyrs 06:57.980 --> 07:04.120 who bravely stood up to Rome are now joining in an unholy partnership with that 07:04.120 --> 07:07.820 very institution which shed the martyr's blood. 07:09.080 --> 07:15.700 Yes, the woman rides the beast, and part of that ride is an unholy 07:15.700 --> 07:18.080 alliance with those who ought to know better. 07:19.160 --> 07:25.360 Let us stand firmly against the descending darkness as that candle ignited by the 07:25.360 --> 07:30.480 immolated bodies of countless martyrs flickers ever more dimly in our day. 07:32.500 --> 07:34.620 That's the conclusion to chapter 25. 07:34.900 --> 07:40.260 We'll now proceed to chapter 26 entitled, Apostasy and Ecumenism. 07:41.580 --> 07:45.900 As all the other chapters, it begins with some very poignant quotes. 07:46.560 --> 07:50.620 This one from the great Protestant Charles Haddon Spurgeon. 07:50.620 --> 07:51.760 Listen to what he says. 07:52.540 --> 07:57.660 It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist. 07:58.380 --> 08:03.940 And as to what Antichrist is, no sane man ought to raise a question. 08:05.080 --> 08:09.700 If it be not the potpourri of the Church of Rome, there's nothing in the world that 08:09.700 --> 08:11.200 can be called by that name. 08:12.120 --> 08:18.840 It wounds Christ, robs Christ of his glory, puts sacramental efficacy in the 08:18.840 --> 08:23.200 place of his atonement, and lifts a piece of bread in the place of the Savior. 08:24.020 --> 08:30.340 If we pray against it because it is against him, we shall love the persons, 08:30.520 --> 08:31.900 though we hate their errors. 08:32.480 --> 08:36.940 We shall love their souls, though we loathe and detest their dogmas. 08:38.580 --> 08:49.320 Now, a quote from a modern evangelical, Paul Crouch of Trinity Broadcasting 08:49.320 --> 08:50.980 Network, recently deceased. 08:51.080 --> 08:56.980 He says, quote, I'm eradicating the word Protestant even out of my vocabulary. 08:57.860 --> 08:59.620 I'm not protesting anything. 09:00.360 --> 09:06.480 It's time for Catholics and non-Catholics to come together as one in the Spirit and 09:06.480 --> 09:07.560 one in the Lord. 09:08.700 --> 09:17.920 And finally, 33rd degree Freemason Robert Schuller, the head Spiritist over the 09:17.920 --> 09:24.300 Crystal Cathedral that's so popular, he said, quote, it's time for Protestants 09:24.300 --> 09:30.160 to go to the shepherd, meaning the pope, and say, quote, what do we have to do to 09:30.160 --> 09:30.760 come home? 09:31.340 --> 09:31.780 Unquote. 09:33.620 --> 09:37.640 Now, chapter 26, Apostasy and Ecumenism. 09:39.360 --> 09:44.600 The statements with which we introduced this and the previous chapter indicated 09:44.600 --> 09:50.880 dramatic change in thinking of Christian leaders regarding Roman Catholicism from 09:50.880 --> 09:52.880 the days of Spurgeon to the present. 09:54.060 --> 10:00.280 For 350 years, most Protestant creeds identified the papacy as the system of 10:00.280 --> 10:01.000 antichrist. 10:02.010 --> 10:04.880 That identification is now being dropped. 10:06.000 --> 10:12.580 The world's foremost evangelist called Pope John Paul II, quote, the greatest 10:12.580 --> 10:16.420 religious leader of the modern world, unquote. 10:17.160 --> 10:23.180 One of America's foremost experts on the family considers the pope to be, 10:23.480 --> 10:28.360 quote, the most eminent religious leader who names the name of Jesus Christ, 10:28.700 --> 10:29.120 unquote. 10:30.260 --> 10:35.240 One frequently hears of leading evangelicals who have visited the pope and 10:35.240 --> 10:37.860 come away convinced that he is born again. 10:39.140 --> 10:44.220 If so, how could he continue in that fraudulent office leading that corrupt 10:44.220 --> 10:50.720 religious system with its false gospel of works and ritual that is sending multitude 10:50.720 --> 10:52.000 to condemnation? 10:53.440 --> 10:59.320 Increasing numbers of today's evangelicals are accepting Catholics as Christians and 10:59.320 --> 11:04.160 seem to find no problem in joining with them in the evangelization of the world. 11:05.120 --> 11:10.220 That fact is made clear by the very title of the historic joint declaration referred 11:10.220 --> 11:16.120 to earlier by Catholic and evangelical leaders entitled Evangelicals and 11:16.120 --> 11:20.000 Catholics Together, the Christian Mission in the Third Millennium. 11:21.800 --> 11:27.140 Evangelicals and Catholics are declared to be full partners in this Christian mission 11:27.140 --> 11:32.560 of taking the gospel to the world, and they are not to evangelize one 11:32.560 --> 11:33.040 another. 11:33.960 --> 11:39.720 Quote, it is neither theologically legitimate nor prudent use of resources 11:39.720 --> 11:45.900 for one Christian community that is evangelical to proselytize among active 11:45.900 --> 11:50.040 adherents to another Christian community, for instance, Roman Catholicism, 11:50.620 --> 11:51.160 unquote. 11:52.000 --> 11:58.200 Some of the leading Protestant evangelists are now conducting their crusades in full 11:58.200 --> 11:59.940 partnership with Roman Catholics. 12:00.900 --> 12:04.040 However, Dr. D. 12:04.240 --> 12:08.780 Martin Lloyd-Jones explains why he could not support such crusades in England. 12:09.420 --> 12:17.520 Quote, I remind you that the Protestant reformers were not just bigoted zealots 12:17.520 --> 12:19.820 for the truth or fools. 12:20.660 --> 12:23.780 Their eyes were opened by the Holy Spirit. 12:24.660 --> 12:29.620 They saw this horrible monstrosity depicted in the Bible, and they warned 12:29.620 --> 12:30.400 against it. 12:31.120 --> 12:35.240 At the risk of even losing their lives, they stood up and protested. 12:36.200 --> 12:42.660 A Christianity that merely preaches, come to Christ or come to Jesus, 12:43.520 --> 12:45.440 cannot stand before Rome. 12:46.560 --> 12:52.120 Probably what that will do ultimately will be to add to the numbers who belong to the 12:52.120 --> 12:53.200 Roman Catholic Church. 12:54.040 --> 12:59.380 People who hold evangelistic campaigns and say, are you Roman Catholics? 13:00.320 --> 13:05.560 Go back to your church, unquote, are denying the New Testament teaching. 13:05.920 --> 13:08.680 We must warn them, unquote. 13:09.740 --> 13:11.540 So what is the New Testament teaching? 13:12.140 --> 13:15.260 Come out of the Roman Catholic Church. 13:16.580 --> 13:19.040 That's what the New Testament teaching is. 13:19.240 --> 13:21.900 Revelation 18 verses 4 and 5. 13:22.980 --> 13:30.600 We have shown that the Beast of Revelation 13 and 17 represent both the revived Roman 13:30.600 --> 13:33.040 Empire and the Antichrist. 13:33.780 --> 13:38.680 The false church headquartered in Rome is the woman riding the beast. 13:39.680 --> 13:45.500 But that identification of the woman, which for centuries was almost unanimous 13:45.500 --> 13:51.340 among Protestants, is accepted by only a few evangelical leaders today. 13:52.600 --> 13:56.480 A new spirit of ecumenism is sweeping the Christian world. 13:57.480 --> 14:03.900 Consider the following from Christianity Today editorial, quote, as we, 14:04.220 --> 14:10.080 that is Catholics and evangelicals, discuss the meaning of the gospel and what 14:10.080 --> 14:15.120 Christ meant to us, it became abundantly evident that we shared a common faith. 14:16.340 --> 14:19.740 Traditional Roman Catholics accept the doctrine of grace alone. 14:20.660 --> 14:26.200 They, Roman Catholics and evangelicals, share the promise of the Father that they 14:26.200 --> 14:31.680 have been accepted by him, and so they, his children, had better accept each 14:31.680 --> 14:32.980 other, unquote. 14:34.540 --> 14:38.600 Nothing could be further from the truth, as we've thoroughly demonstrated. 14:39.340 --> 14:45.320 The Catholic view of grace, faith, and salvation is not at all what the Bible 14:45.320 --> 14:45.820 teaches. 14:47.040 --> 14:50.360 Yet misinformation about Catholicism persists. 14:51.240 --> 14:56.920 For example, Tom Houston, at the time International Executive Director of the 14:56.920 --> 15:02.460 Luzan Committee for World Evangelism, told a plenary session of Luzan II in 15:02.460 --> 15:09.240 Manila in 1989, quote, There are six saving acts of God in Jesus Christ. 15:09.940 --> 15:16.100 The Incarnation, the Cross, the Atonement, the Resurrection, the Ascension, 15:16.980 --> 15:20.060 Pentecost, the Second Coming of Christ. 15:21.080 --> 15:26.780 Now all these churches, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelicals, 15:26.920 --> 15:30.940 Orthodox, and Pentecostals, believe in all six saving acts. 15:31.980 --> 15:37.760 Let us make our unflinching goal to stay together as reflected in the Luzan 15:37.760 --> 15:39.600 Covenant, unquote. 15:41.120 --> 15:46.360 So at last, we learned from the previous director himself, that from the beginning 15:46.360 --> 15:50.820 of the Luzan Covenant was intended to embrace Catholics and Orthodox. 15:51.860 --> 15:57.380 That revelation came as a shock to those participants who knew the heresies of 15:57.380 --> 16:00.220 Rome, which Houston's speech denied. 16:01.640 --> 16:07.080 Delegates from Latin America, knowing Catholicism only too well, objected 16:07.080 --> 16:10.900 strenuously to the embrace of Catholics as Christians. 16:12.060 --> 16:19.220 Their protest was respected temporarily, but the momentum toward full fellowship 16:19.220 --> 16:22.460 with Catholics now seems irreversible. 16:24.160 --> 16:30.120 Now, Dave Hunt tells us the real direction of ecumenism. 16:30.940 --> 16:32.340 A one-way street. 16:34.500 --> 16:39.780 Evangelicals who imagine an equal partnership with Rome seem blind to the 16:39.780 --> 16:40.320 obvious. 16:41.560 --> 16:47.600 The term separated brethren, as used in Vatican Council too, and ever since then 16:47.600 --> 16:53.560 in Catholic ecumenical documents, clearly indicates that unity can be 16:53.560 --> 16:57.700 obtained only by non-Catholics joining the Roman Catholic Church. 16:58.840 --> 17:03.120 This fact has also been declared in numerous papal pronouncements to the 17:03.120 --> 17:06.380 Catholic faithful even before Vatican Council too. 17:07.560 --> 17:14.060 Typical is the following from Pope Pius XII, quote, We must not pass over in 17:14.060 --> 17:21.120 silence or veil in ambiguous terms the truth of Catholic teaching, that the only 17:21.120 --> 17:28.940 true union is by return of the separated Christians to the one true Church of Jesus 17:28.940 --> 17:29.540 Christ. 17:30.640 --> 17:35.920 For those who do not belong to this visible body of the Church, none can be 17:35.920 --> 17:41.100 assured of salvation, because they're still deprived of the helps and heavenly 17:41.100 --> 17:46.600 favors found only inside the Roman Catholic Church, unquote. 17:48.280 --> 17:55.100 Again, we see Rome teaching that a person cannot simply come to Jesus Christ and be 17:55.100 --> 17:59.640 saved through faith in his all-sufficient sacrifice for sin. 18:00.740 --> 18:06.780 There are other, quote, helps and heavenly favors, unquote, which are necessary for 18:06.780 --> 18:07.780 one to be saved. 18:08.380 --> 18:12.600 And these are found only inside the Roman Catholic Church. 18:14.100 --> 18:18.640 Fortunately, the day has passed when this dogma had to be embraced under pain of 18:18.640 --> 18:19.320 death. 18:19.880 --> 18:24.220 That day, however, will come again, and perhaps sooner than we think. 18:25.000 --> 18:28.260 And that's why this program is entitled Inquisition Update. 18:28.520 --> 18:31.560 My belief is the same as Dave Hunt's in this respect. 18:33.440 --> 18:37.100 Rome is going to get the upper hand again over God's people. 18:38.740 --> 18:44.440 And if we don't heed these warnings, if we don't expose what Rome intends to do 18:44.440 --> 18:48.400 in this country, God can only help us. 18:50.760 --> 18:57.180 Dave continues, he says, ecumenism is no equal partnership, but a one-way street to 18:57.180 --> 18:57.540 Rome. 18:58.380 --> 19:03.060 There's an all-out effort by Roman Catholic apologists to refute the errors 19:03.060 --> 19:07.140 and inadequacies in evangelicalism. 19:08.320 --> 19:16.340 Thomas Howard's book describing his journey to Rome was titled Evangelical Is 19:16.340 --> 19:17.100 Not Enough. 19:18.560 --> 19:23.180 Tapes and books of this type are offered freely by Christian distributors and 19:23.180 --> 19:26.440 carried without objection in most Christian bookstores. 19:27.340 --> 19:31.620 Yet many of these same distributors and bookstores which handle Catholic material 19:31.620 --> 19:37.360 refuse to stock books and tapes that are in any way critical of Catholicism, 19:37.760 --> 19:39.880 even though they present the truth. 19:41.380 --> 19:44.860 There's a new strategy at the Roman Catholic Church. 19:44.920 --> 19:50.520 It's called ecumenism, and it's going to startle those who are not familiar with 19:50.520 --> 19:51.540 its true tenets. 19:52.660 --> 19:59.440 Dave says, having lost her status as the official state church in most parts of the 19:59.440 --> 20:05.240 world, and no longer able to impose the death penalty for non-conformance, 20:06.140 --> 20:08.620 Rome has adopted new tactics. 20:09.760 --> 20:15.080 It was at her initiative, following the publishing of Digitatis Humanae, 20:15.160 --> 20:19.540 that is, the Declaration of Religious Freedom at Vatican Council II, 20:20.380 --> 20:26.020 that the concordats in the few remaining countries where only Catholicism was 20:26.020 --> 20:30.080 allowed were changed to grant freedom of religion. 20:31.200 --> 20:38.480 This occurred in Colombia in 1973, opening the door to all religions and 20:38.480 --> 20:40.320 separating church from state. 20:41.000 --> 20:50.880 The same action was taken in 1974 in the Swiss Canton of Valais, followed in 1975 20:50.880 --> 20:57.380 by annulment of Article 24 in the 1940 Concordat with Portugal. 20:58.980 --> 21:05.960 Religious liberty was granted in Spain in 1976 by revision of the Concordat to 21:05.960 --> 21:11.440 provide for separation of church and state, followed by similar action in Peru 21:11.440 --> 21:15.320 in 1980 and in Italy in 1984. 21:16.920 --> 21:22.900 Finally, in July of 1992, laws guaranteeing freedom of religion for 21:22.900 --> 21:29.160 non-Catholics at last went into effect in Mexico, though persecution and even 21:29.160 --> 21:31.800 killing of Christians by Catholics is continued. 21:33.140 --> 21:39.260 These moves did not reflect generosity on Rome's part, but a clever strategy of 21:39.260 --> 21:44.860 taking the initiative to effect what was already inevitable in today's world. 21:46.060 --> 21:52.320 Catholicism has become the ecumenical leader in a move to unite not only the 21:52.320 --> 21:58.200 separated brethren of Protestantism, but all the world's religions in a new 21:58.200 --> 21:59.320 world church. 22:00.300 --> 22:08.160 To large Hindu audiences in India in 1986, John Paul II declared, quote, India's 22:08.160 --> 22:13.800 mission is crucial because of her intuition of the spiritual nature of man. 22:14.740 --> 22:22.180 Indeed, India's great contribution to the world can be to offer to it a spiritual 22:22.180 --> 22:28.440 vision of man, and the world does well to attend willingly to this ancient wisdom 22:28.880 --> 22:34.520 and in it to find enrichment for human living, unquote. 22:35.540 --> 22:41.060 What an astonishing commendation of Hinduism by the Pope. 22:41.980 --> 22:49.420 One of the world's most influential Hindu leaders, Sri Chinmoy, known as the guru of 22:49.420 --> 22:54.320 the United Nations, where he holds twice-weekly meditations for UN staff, 22:55.020 --> 22:57.480 has been praised by more than one Pope. 22:58.740 --> 23:03.760 Chinmoy's 80-plus meditation centers around the world have led millions into 23:03.760 --> 23:04.820 Hindu's darkness. 23:06.020 --> 23:11.880 Yet, John Paul II considers him a friend and a co-worker and has greeted him thus, 23:12.360 --> 23:17.200 quote, Bless your blessings to you and to your members. 23:17.780 --> 23:20.820 We shall continue together, unquote. 23:22.480 --> 23:29.480 Pope Paul VI told Chinmoy, quote, The Hindu life and the Christian life 23:29.480 --> 23:31.100 shall go together. 23:31.780 --> 23:36.360 Your message and my message are the same, unquote. 23:37.560 --> 23:43.580 And now evangelical leaders are telling Rome that its gospel and their gospel are 23:43.580 --> 23:44.740 also the same. 23:46.180 --> 23:51.340 Rome, of course, will be the headquarters of the new world religion, and the Roman 23:51.340 --> 23:53.800 Catholic hierarchy will be in charge. 23:54.940 --> 23:59.520 Already she is preparing the way with amazing statements of acceptance of almost 23:59.520 --> 24:07.440 anything, from voodoo to evangelicalism, while at the same time attacking the 24:07.440 --> 24:07.780 latter. 24:09.700 --> 24:12.260 We've come upon the break. 24:12.620 --> 24:16.800 We'll continue with our reading and discussion of Dave Hunt's book, 24:16.800 --> 24:18.180 A Woman Rises the Beast. 24:19.300 --> 24:25.800 Apostasy and ecumenism, the destruction of Protestantism, that's what Rome's all 24:25.800 --> 24:26.220 about. 24:26.580 --> 24:32.300 By uniting the rest of the world's religions, she is against Protestantism. 24:32.380 --> 24:33.960 We'll be back right after this. 25:01.160 --> 25:06.380 Hear it first on firstamendmentradio.com and firstamendmentradio.net. 25:07.700 --> 25:12.260 I know you all want answers, and believe me, so do I, and I'll do my best to get 25:12.260 --> 25:12.460 them. 25:13.380 --> 25:15.700 Have you seen the Left Behind movies? 25:16.320 --> 25:19.600 Have you read the Left Behind fictional book series? 25:20.180 --> 25:23.480 Not everyone believes Left Behind is true prophecy. 25:23.980 --> 25:30.100 Some may even regard as conspiratorial the mainstream re-release of the Left Behind 25:30.100 --> 25:35.540 movie, with actor Nicholas Cage portraying the main character, as an attempt to 25:35.540 --> 25:41.000 further reinforce, in the minds of all, this perception of false prophecy, 25:41.400 --> 25:46.140 in order to condition the masses for the play about to begin. 25:46.520 --> 25:51.020 Because they see the world stage shaping to fulfill what they have been led to 25:51.020 --> 25:57.640 believe is sound biblical interpretation, a Left Behind rapture scenario, 25:58.200 --> 26:03.500 this false view of prophecy is reinforced in the mind, not only of its adherence, 26:04.040 --> 26:10.080 but also includes those who have been merely exposed to the specific media. 26:10.660 --> 26:13.740 Is it possible that false prophecy can be fulfilled? 26:14.160 --> 26:16.840 The rapture theories have always been in dispute. 26:17.300 --> 26:24.360 Pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib disputes have risen up in exclusively evangelical 26:24.360 --> 26:30.740 circles of recent history, so that when true believers don't suddenly disappear, 26:31.240 --> 26:36.920 this element will easily go by the wayside, when all see a new Jewish temple 26:36.920 --> 26:38.560 begin to be built. 26:38.980 --> 26:43.420 Will this be part of the great delusion that will come upon the whole earth? 26:43.740 --> 26:49.420 It seems that this great prophetic delusion has already overcome practically 26:49.420 --> 26:54.400 the entire American evangelical and Christian world. 26:54.740 --> 26:57.900 Get the

Amendment 29:07.760 --> 29:09.660 Radio, who sponsors the program. 29:10.500 --> 29:17.000 Now, Dave Hunt is telling us that the Vatican is uniting all the world's 29:17.000 --> 29:17.660 religions. 29:18.480 --> 29:19.240 All of them. 29:19.980 --> 29:26.140 And if you've been paying attention to this Jesuit Pope, Jorge Bergoglio, 29:27.080 --> 29:30.520 even atheists are included in the new religion. 29:31.200 --> 29:33.000 The new global religion. 29:33.880 --> 29:39.620 And Satan, through the papacy, is doing exactly what could have been 29:39.620 --> 29:40.660 foretold. 29:40.900 --> 29:43.160 And was foretold in the Bible. 29:43.840 --> 29:48.020 That the Vatican, that whore that rides the scarlet-colored beast of Revelation 29:48.020 --> 29:54.160 chapter 17, would cause the whole world to unite once again against God. 29:54.720 --> 30:03.460 That this man of sin in Rome is going to unite the whole world as it was at the 30:03.460 --> 30:08.540 time of the Tower of Babel and Nimrod, the mighty hunter before or against the 30:08.540 --> 30:08.920 Lord. 30:09.640 --> 30:15.180 To unite all the nations to commit abominations before the Lord. 30:15.700 --> 30:17.520 To worship every god. 30:18.060 --> 30:20.160 And to bend the knee to every idol. 30:21.040 --> 30:23.960 And Dave is absolutely correct in that assessment. 30:24.800 --> 30:30.020 He says Rome, of course, will be the headquarters of the new world religion. 30:30.980 --> 30:34.120 And the Catholic hierarchy will be in charge. 30:34.980 --> 30:40.620 Already she is preparing the way with amazing statements of acceptance of almost 30:40.620 --> 30:44.700 anything from voodoo to evangelicalism. 30:45.200 --> 30:51.220 While at the same time attacking the latter, evangelicalism. 30:51.900 --> 30:59.240 During his 1993 tour of Africa, the Pope, quote, sought common ground with 30:59.240 --> 31:00.600 believers in voodoo. 31:01.140 --> 31:05.540 Suggesting that they would not betray their traditional faith by converting to, 31:05.780 --> 31:07.280 quote, unquote, Christianity. 31:08.820 --> 31:14.820 Explaining that, quote, the Catholic Church wants to establish positive and 31:14.820 --> 31:20.200 cooperative relationships with various faiths in view of a mutual enrichment, 31:20.840 --> 31:21.300 unquote. 31:22.160 --> 31:27.420 John Paul II declared that, quote, the Second Vatican Council recognized that 31:27.420 --> 31:33.920 in all diverse religious traditions there is something true and good. 31:34.760 --> 31:38.520 The seeds of the word, capital W. 31:39.280 --> 31:45.320 It encouraged Christ's disciples to discover, quote, the riches which a 31:45.320 --> 31:50.360 generous God has distributed among all nations, unquote. 31:51.040 --> 31:58.840 Try to imagine Moses suggesting that Israel discover the riches to be found in 31:58.840 --> 32:02.200 the religions of the idol-worshipping pagans around them. 32:02.780 --> 32:09.380 Or imagine Paul suggesting that the Christians in Ephesus discover the riches 32:09.380 --> 32:12.740 of the pagan worship at the Temple of Diana. 32:13.620 --> 32:18.840 Then what are leading evangelicals doing in becoming Rome's partners? 32:19.800 --> 32:26.780 The Vatican is embracing all religions except the true religion of Jesus Christ. 32:27.560 --> 32:32.640 Like Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II praises all religions. 32:33.300 --> 32:37.360 Examples are legion, but we have space for only a few. 32:38.180 --> 32:44.020 In 1985, speaking to Muslims at Brussels, Belgium, the Pope said, quote, 32:44.680 --> 32:51.260 Christians and Muslims, we meet one another in faith in one God and strive to 32:51.260 --> 32:55.680 put into practice the teachings of our respective holy books, unquote. 32:56.520 --> 33:03.540 Islam's Allah is not the God of the Bible, nor could any Christian commend the 33:03.540 --> 33:04.720 teachings of the Quran. 33:05.620 --> 33:11.280 Meeting with Muslim leaders in West Africa in 1993, the Pope said, quote, 33:12.020 --> 33:18.420 he called on Christians, Muslims, and animists to respect one another's 33:18.420 --> 33:20.200 religious beliefs, unquote. 33:21.140 --> 33:25.480 How can one respect beliefs that lead people to hell? 33:26.240 --> 33:30.520 Far from asking us to respect pagan beliefs, the Bible condemns them. 33:31.200 --> 33:37.240 Speaking to Shintoists and Buddhists in Tokyo in 1981, John Paul II commended the 33:37.240 --> 33:41.720 wisdom of their ancient religions, which inspired them, quote, to see a 33:41.720 --> 33:46.120 divine presence in each human being. 33:46.880 --> 33:52.300 As Christ's vicar, I express my joy that God has distributed these religious gifts 33:52.300 --> 33:53.760 among you, unquote. 33:54.520 --> 33:59.320 An unthinkable statement in view of the errors of Shintoism and Buddhism. 33:59.980 --> 34:08.000 In Togo in 1985, the Pope exalted that he had, quote, prayed for the first time with 34:08.000 --> 34:09.840 animists, unquote. 34:10.560 --> 34:17.160 A conservative Catholic critic of his church's astonishing ecumenism writes, 34:17.320 --> 34:24.160 quote, originally ecumenism was concerned with unity among Christians, but it is now 34:24.160 --> 34:29.600 increasingly with seeking the union of all religions, Christian or non-Christian. 34:30.420 --> 34:38.440 On May 19th, 1964, Pope Paul VI officially launched a Secretariat for the 34:38.440 --> 34:43.860 Non-Christians, which played an important role during the last two sessions of the 34:43.860 --> 34:44.240 Council. 34:45.040 --> 34:50.000 Some months later, Monsignor Wojtyla, who became Pope John Paul II, declared, 34:50.220 --> 34:55.880 quote, nostalgia for the unity of Christians makes common cause with that of 34:55.880 --> 34:57.840 unity for the whole human race. 34:58.760 --> 35:02.740 This gives rise to the attitude of the church toward the other religions, 35:03.280 --> 35:07.220 which is based on the recognition of their spiritual values. 35:07.980 --> 35:13.300 Humans and Christians together, reaching out to such religions as Islam, 35:13.880 --> 35:17.160 Buddhists, and Hindus, unquote. 35:17.880 --> 35:22.780 While the Pope's embrace of all religions shocks conservative Roman Catholics, 35:23.290 --> 35:25.560 it is actually consistent with history. 35:26.500 --> 35:31.440 From the very beginning under Emperor Constantine, when statues of Isis and 35:31.440 --> 35:41.360 Horus were renamed Mary and Jesus, and Pope Leo I, who reigned from 440 to 35:41.360 --> 35:48.480 461 AD, boasted that St. Peter and St. Paul had, quote, replaced Romulus and 35:48.480 --> 35:51.340 Remus as Rome's protected patrons, unquote. 35:52.160 --> 35:56.900 Roman Catholicism has always accommodated itself to the pagan religions of those 35:56.900 --> 35:59.260 people which it Christianized. 35:59.680 --> 36:06.220 During the 1984 visit to New Guinea, Pope John Paul II presided over an outdoor 36:06.220 --> 36:09.100 celebration of the new mass for natives. 36:09.980 --> 36:16.160 The mass involved dancers who pranced to the altar for the operatory procession, 36:16.160 --> 36:22.060 throwing up clouds of orange and yellow smoke, a pagan custom to ward off evil 36:22.060 --> 36:27.380 spirits, while an 18-year-old college student read a passage of scripture at the 36:27.380 --> 36:32.600 altar, wearing her traditional clothes, nude from the waist up. 36:33.100 --> 36:38.220 The New York Times said the mass was indicative of, quote, the Roman Catholic 36:38.220 --> 36:48.600 Church's efforts to make its services more universal by integrating into its ritual 36:48.600 --> 36:54.140 and liturgy elements of the cultures of the peoples to whom Western missionaries 36:54.140 --> 36:56.640 brought their religion, unquote. 36:57.280 --> 37:02.380 Such integration is as old as Roman Catholicism itself. 37:03.220 --> 37:07.860 In Haiti, every voodoo ceremony begins with Catholic prayers. 37:08.700 --> 37:15.440 There's a saying in Haiti... there's a saying that Haiti is 85 percent Roman 37:15.440 --> 37:19.300 Catholic and 110 percent Vaudan. 37:19.760 --> 37:25.600 The frightening spiritist cult of Santeria, exploding across America, 37:25.780 --> 37:32.500 has also a blend of African paganism and Catholicism involving gods passed off as 37:32.500 --> 37:35.640 Catholic saints who front for demons. 37:36.640 --> 37:43.520 Visiting the cemeteries in Rio de Janeiro on any religious holiday, one finds Roman 37:43.520 --> 37:49.060 Catholic faithful there petitioning the spirits of their ancestors along with the 37:49.060 --> 37:50.040 Catholic saints. 37:50.880 --> 37:55.540 In Brazil and Cuba, Spiritism and voodoo-related African religions of 37:55.540 --> 38:00.700 various kinds blend with Catholicism, and throughout Latin America, native 38:00.700 --> 38:03.100 superstitions remain among Catholics. 38:03.620 --> 38:09.360 The use of images, holy water, and many other rituals, now part of Roman 38:09.360 --> 38:12.940 Catholicism, have been adapted from paganism. 38:13.760 --> 38:18.260 One can hardly call Roman Catholicism Christianity. 38:19.180 --> 38:25.620 And if one is tempted to call Roman Catholicism Christianity, one has shown 38:25.620 --> 38:27.120 evidence of his deceit. 38:27.740 --> 38:30.340 There's nothing Christian about Roman Catholicism. 38:31.000 --> 38:35.780 It has always been the anti-church, the anti-Christ. 38:36.600 --> 38:38.540 Rome's showing her true colors. 38:39.600 --> 38:43.800 She now worships every god, makes room for every idol ever made. 38:44.520 --> 38:50.580 It is the great apostasy, one that should be shunned by anyone professing Christ. 38:51.380 --> 38:53.920 And you know what's striking to me at this point? 38:54.720 --> 39:00.240 While it is evident now to anyone who's paying attention that Rome is rolling out 39:00.240 --> 39:07.080 the red carpet to every demon posed as every god in the world, what about the 39:07.080 --> 39:14.760 multitudes of millions of Bible-believing Christians and non-Catholics that Rome has 39:14.760 --> 39:18.240 slaughtered like sheep throughout the centuries? 39:19.300 --> 39:24.660 Isn't Rome admitting now that all that bloodshed was wrong? 39:25.480 --> 39:32.780 She's now rolling out the spiritual red carpet to every cult on the planet to join 39:32.780 --> 39:34.520 the mother of all cults. 39:35.180 --> 39:40.820 Isn't that a repudiation of all the millions that she shed the blood who would 39:40.820 --> 39:47.440 not enter a Roman Catholic church or have any sort of unity with the anti-Christ 39:47.440 --> 39:48.260 church of Rome? 39:49.060 --> 39:55.940 What about those hundreds of millions of martyrs, those whose blood was shed by 39:55.940 --> 40:01.520 Rome, those whose blood has made the Roman Catholic church drunk? 40:02.380 --> 40:10.520 What is to be said for this church in Rome now, having slain untold millions over the 40:10.520 --> 40:11.060 centuries? 40:12.060 --> 40:14.020 She's now embracing every religion. 40:14.780 --> 40:19.620 I'm going to tell my listeners now what it means to me, that it should now be evident 40:19.620 --> 40:26.920 to everyone in the world, knowledgeable of her bloody history, that she should be 40:26.920 --> 40:35.740 destroyed from stem to stern, that the world owes her double what she has done to 40:35.740 --> 40:36.500 God's people. 40:37.260 --> 40:42.820 And that prophecy is found in Revelation chapter 17, and that's exactly what's 40:42.820 --> 40:43.520 going to happen. 40:44.140 --> 40:47.100 God's judgment is going to fall on the Roman Catholic church. 40:47.240 --> 40:55.800 She has now identified herself as gross error, bloody error, anti-Christ. 40:56.520 --> 41:04.800 After century upon century, millennia, we war against the Lamb of God by making 41:04.800 --> 41:06.640 war against His people. 41:07.520 --> 41:12.300 Rome is now rolling out the carpet for every cult on the planet. 41:13.180 --> 41:14.420 She's defied herself. 41:15.200 --> 41:19.840 She has exposed herself for what God has described her in the Bible. 41:20.600 --> 41:25.760 Drunk with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus, Rome has given up on her 41:25.760 --> 41:27.620 own profession. 41:28.420 --> 41:29.840 The defender of the faith? 41:30.640 --> 41:35.700 Rome's going to answer for every drop of blood that she has spilled over the last 41:35.700 --> 41:36.840 2,000 years. 41:37.660 --> 41:40.900 I don't see how it can be perceived in any other way. 41:41.740 --> 41:45.780 She's admitted her error by embracing all religions. 41:46.560 --> 41:52.180 She's repudiating Christianity as if there was ever a pretense that it was a 41:52.180 --> 41:53.700 Christian religion at all. 41:54.620 --> 42:01.500 Embracing atheists now as a viable partner in this New World Order religion? 42:01.940 --> 42:09.600 What about all of those that she martyred in the name of Christ because they 42:09.600 --> 42:12.900 wouldn't embrace the Roman Catholic church? 42:13.660 --> 42:15.380 Has she repented of that? 42:16.140 --> 42:17.740 Rome is never going to repent. 42:18.060 --> 42:21.320 Of doing what she believes is good works. 42:22.500 --> 42:24.080 Exterminating God's people. 42:24.920 --> 42:31.700 But she has clearly shown herself to the world to be not against error, 42:32.320 --> 42:35.020 but only to be against the truth. 42:35.760 --> 42:37.280 You talk about confusion? 42:38.180 --> 42:40.500 The Roman Catholic Church is the Tower of Babel. 42:40.560 --> 42:42.160 The Tower of Confusion. 42:42.920 --> 42:46.960 Under the subtitle Paganism within the Roman Catholic Church, Dave writes, 42:47.680 --> 42:54.240 one finds every shade of New Age cult and mystical belief inside the Roman Catholic 42:54.240 --> 42:55.160 Church itself. 42:55.680 --> 43:02.800 Catholic world had an entire issue affirming the New Age movement without a 43:02.800 --> 43:05.380 word of condemnation or correction. 43:06.280 --> 43:11.020 Thousands of priests and nuns practice yoga and other forms of Hindu and Buddhist 43:11.020 --> 43:11.820 mysticism. 43:12.740 --> 43:16.900 Catholic schools across the country, once looked upon as bastions of sound 43:16.900 --> 43:22.300 education, are as permeated with occult and New Age methods as are the public 43:22.300 --> 43:22.900 schools. 43:23.820 --> 43:28.740 Spirituality of the Christian educator presents a sampling of Catholic education 43:28.740 --> 43:29.160 today. 43:30.200 --> 43:36.100 New Jersey, New York area Catholic schools utilize a program entitled Energetics for 43:36.100 --> 43:41.720 Living, a curriculum enhancement program for peace education developed by sisters 43:41.720 --> 43:48.260 Virgilia Jim OSF and Claire Lange OSU. 43:48.820 --> 43:55.420 Its purpose is nothing less than the transformation of the child from within 43:55.420 --> 44:03.960 through contact with the creative energy found at the very center of their being, 44:04.520 --> 44:11.060 leading to an experience of, quote, interconnectedness and interdependency of 44:11.060 --> 44:13.320 all living creatures, unquote. 44:13.840 --> 44:21.540 Contact with the child's sacred center is affected through the regular practice of 44:21.540 --> 44:26.660 mediation, meditation, visualization, relaxation and breathing. 44:27.280 --> 44:35.180 They have adapted the Hindu greeting namaste, which means the God in me greets 44:35.180 --> 44:36.660 the God in you. 44:37.060 --> 44:43.500 Once the student sees that he and everything is God, quote, who would do 44:43.500 --> 44:49.440 violence to God or to any of his creatures, unquote, asks Sister Loretta 44:49.440 --> 44:52.000 Carey, RDC of Fordham University. 44:52.880 --> 44:54.000 Sister Mary L. 44:54.040 --> 44:59.580 O'Hara, CSJ, professor of philosophy at the College of St. Mary, Omaha, 45:00.540 --> 45:05.560 specializes in promoting Buddhist and Hindu techniques for enhancing education 45:05.560 --> 45:08.240 in Catholic schools, unquote. 45:09.020 --> 45:13.960 Catholic retreat centers around the world mix Christianity with Hinduism, 45:14.160 --> 45:17.980 Buddhism, and all manner of New Age beliefs and practices. 45:18.460 --> 45:25.400 Typical is the Ashram Ya Azeem, a Franciscan sister center for meditation 45:25.400 --> 45:32.100 in Willard, Wisconsin, which seeks to reach, quote, Christ consciousness, 45:32.580 --> 45:35.700 unquote, through various New Age techniques. 45:36.120 --> 45:41.000 In its defense, Virginia Barta, president of Franciscan Sisters in the 45:41.000 --> 45:46.360 United States of America, explains, quote, we can be Catholic and at the same 45:46.360 --> 45:51.780 time open to recognize the mystical truth in all religions, unquote. 45:52.520 --> 45:54.360 At the start of his first U.S. 45:54.400 --> 46:01.560 tour, the Dalai Lama, who claims to be God, and the 14th reincarnation of the 46:01.560 --> 46:08.160 original Dalai Lama, was feeded at New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral at what 46:08.160 --> 46:13.740 Time Magazine called, quote, an extraordinary inter-religious festival, 46:13.980 --> 46:16.340 unquote, hosted by Cardinal Cook. 46:17.120 --> 46:21.760 Declaring that, quote, all the world's major religions are basically the same, 46:22.020 --> 46:28.120 unquote, the Dalai Lama was given a standing ovation by the overflow crowd. 46:28.980 --> 46:33.060 Cardinal Cook called the event, quote, one of the dramatic movements of 46:33.060 --> 46:35.100 the spirit in our time, unquote. 46:35.900 --> 46:37.760 Surely not the Holy Spirit. 46:38.580 --> 46:46.780 The entire May-June issue of 1990's Catholic World was devoted to Buddhism. 46:47.600 --> 46:51.860 The articles were all sympathetic, including favorable quotes from the Pope. 46:52.640 --> 46:57.720 One article was even entitled, quote, the Buddha revered as a Christian 46:57.720 --> 46:58.820 saint, unquote. 46:59.540 --> 47:04.020 John Paul II takes a broad-minded view of Buddhism and all other religions. 47:04.700 --> 47:09.820 He considers the Tibetan Buddhist deity, Yoga, of his good friend, the Dalai Lama, 47:10.380 --> 47:14.280 along with the prayers of witch doctors, spiritists, and every other religion, 47:14.800 --> 47:20.460 to be generating, quote, profound spiritual energies, unquote, that are 47:20.460 --> 47:24.860 creating a, quote, new climate of peace, unquote. 47:25.620 --> 47:31.160 Similar examples could be multiplied according to a Los Angeles Times news 47:31.160 --> 47:37.940 report, quote, Pope John Paul II slipped off his shoes to sit quietly and solemnly 47:37.940 --> 47:44.440 with the supreme patriarch of Thailand's Buddhists at a Buddhist monastery in 47:44.440 --> 47:44.920 Bangkok. 47:45.760 --> 47:51.140 The Roman Catholic pontiff later praised the, quote, ancient and venerable wisdom, 47:51.280 --> 47:53.660 unquote, of the Asian religion. 47:54.400 --> 48:03.140 I would ask, what do these ancient Asian religions think of Rome's bloody attempt 48:03.140 --> 48:10.920 to Catholicize all of Southeast Asia from Japan and Vietnam, and all the bloodshed 48:10.920 --> 48:11.820 that took place? 48:12.680 --> 48:15.800 Surely blindness has engulfed the whole world. 48:16.400 --> 48:21.580 He says, try to imagine the Apostle Paul attending a Buddhist temple ritual and 48:21.580 --> 48:26.540 praising Buddhism's wisdom, or Paul telling an audience of Hindus, 48:26.660 --> 48:32.340 as did John Paul II during his visit to India, that he had not come there to teach 48:32.340 --> 48:37.920 them anything but, quote, to learn from their rich spiritual heritage, 48:38.120 --> 48:44.600 unquote, and that the world needs to heed India's spiritual vision of man, 48:45.040 --> 48:45.520 unquote. 48:45.800 --> 48:52.460 The entire Christian, excuse me, the early Christians would never have been 48:52.460 --> 48:57.440 martyred had they taken a similar ecumenical approach to Rome's pagan 48:57.440 --> 48:58.100 practices. 48:58.740 --> 49:00.720 Listen to what Dave said. 49:00.840 --> 49:01.840 Dave comprehends. 49:02.640 --> 49:09.100 He says the early Christians, God's true people, would never have been martyred by 49:09.100 --> 49:14.960 the Roman Catholic Church had they taken a similar ecumenical approach to Rome's 49:14.960 --> 49:16.040 pagan practices. 49:17.080 --> 49:25.200 But they took a position counter to Rome's pagan practices, and they would do so 49:25.200 --> 49:25.700 today. 49:26.520 --> 49:30.340 If they could come out of their graves, they would condemn this ecumenical 49:30.340 --> 49:33.340 movement in the strongest possible terms. 49:33.980 --> 49:40.380 Think of the early Christians, the Apostolic Church, if it could see what 49:40.380 --> 49:46.400 Rome is doing to God's people today, and how God's people are allowing Rome to 49:46.400 --> 49:48.760 do it, and assisting her in doing it. 49:49.400 --> 49:52.060 Why ecumenical popes are so popular. 49:53.440 --> 49:59.900 John Paul II seems to be failing in health at the time of the writing of this book, 50:00.060 --> 50:01.680 in the 80s. 50:01.700 --> 50:06.440 It says whether he recovers his strength and continues, or is replaced by another 50:06.440 --> 50:09.580 pope, will have little effect on the future. 50:10.320 --> 50:14.680 While Pope John Paul II is the most blatant and effective ecumenist ever, 50:15.540 --> 50:22.120 he is only following in the footsteps of his predecessors, and his successor will 50:22.120 --> 50:23.720 continue in the same direction. 50:24.600 --> 50:26.420 And we know that to be the case. 50:27.400 --> 50:33.040 Benedict XVI, and most especially this current pope, have followed in John Paul 50:33.040 --> 50:39.480 II's footsteps, and are uniting all the world against Christ, and his body. 52:43.800 --> 52:48.760 The program you are listening to is 100% sponsored by you, the listener, 52:48.960 --> 52:51.040 on this First Amendment Rights Media Channel. 52:51.580 --> 52:55.020 You will notice that there are few commercials on this radio network. 52:55.760 --> 52:57.200 There's a good reason for that. 52:57.700 --> 53:02.160 Corporate advertising dollars come with strings that limit program content. 53:02.640 --> 53:07.200 So without your help, these programs cannot continue on satellite, internet, 53:07.760 --> 53:09.820 or our several affiliates. 53:10.220 --> 53:14.820 If you benefit by the educational law programs, we ask you to give. 53:15.120 --> 53:20.120 If you are admonished or nurtured by the Bible and ministry programs, we ask you to 53:20.120 --> 53:20.480 give. 53:20.840 --> 53:25.880 If some voice a cause that you are passionate about, we ask you to give. 53:26.340 --> 53:30.980 If you believe in any of these, we ask you to support them, as you would a 53:30.980 --> 53:36.280 missionary, on a continual basis, as if giving a tithe for missionary radio. 53:36.580 --> 53:41.820 These programs are not commercially viable and must be supported by those faithful to 53:41.820 --> 53:42.800 the cause of truth. 53:43.260 --> 53:47.340 Look for the button to sponsor your favorite

53:59.620 We're asking you to give much less than a tithe, so that you may also send support 53:59.620 --> 54:05.480 directly to a particular program host, cause, and anywhere else the Spirit may 54:05.480 --> 54:06.040 lead you. 54:06.500 --> 54:12.300 Do all to the glory of our God and Creator, for His holy nation, the only 54:12.300 --> 54:14.500 kingdom that will last forever. 54:15.000

Arthur's new book titled, When the Third Temple is 54:35.260 --> 54:35.580 Built. 54:35.960 --> 54:37.640 That's crosstheborder.org. 54:37.980 --> 54:41.640 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 54:41.640 --> 54:46.220 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 54:46.220 --> 54:47.000 begin to be built. 54:47.540 --> 54:48.800 The plans are drawn. 54:48.940 --> 54:50.240 The Jewish people are eager. 54:50.860 --> 54:54.580 Most Evangelical Christians today believe that the rapture will happen before the 54:54.580 --> 54:55.560 Third Temple is built. 54:56.060 --> 54:57.540 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 54:57.860 --> 55:00.720 I was taught that was in the future. 55:01.320 --> 55:02.980 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 55:03.620 --> 55:06.580 Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true? 55:07.200 --> 55:10.900 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 55:10.900 --> 55:11.760 Temple in Jerusalem? 55:12.500 --> 55:17.000 Is it necessary to build a Temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 55:17.000 --> 55:17.460 of the Rock? 55:18.140 --> 55:22.060 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the Temple on Temple Mount? 55:22.500 --> 55:25.840 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 55:26.700 --> 55:28.140 What is the New Testament Temple? 55:28.920 --> 55:31.060 Can we identify history and prophecy? 55:31.780 --> 55:34.840 Who is the first beast in Revelation Chapter 13? 55:35.480 --> 55:38.080 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 55:38.820 --> 55:42.440 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 55:42.840 --> 55:47.280 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 55:47.280 --> 55:48.880 scripture to interpret scripture. 55:49.460 --> 55:53.000 The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private 55:53.000 --> 55:53.720 interpretation. 55:54.520 --> 55:57.440 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 55:57.440 --> 56:02.100 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 56:03.260 --> 56:09.420 Visit crosstheborder.org, c-r-o-s-s, crosstheborder.org, to get your print, 56:09.840 --> 56:15.100 e-pub, or pdf version of Nicholas Arthur's new book titled,
