WEBVTT 00:26.600 --> 00:27.640 Good morning. 00:27.780 --> 00:29.580 Welcome to Inquisition Update. 00:29.840 --> 00:32.620 My name is Tom Friess and I'll be your host for the next hour. 00:33.100 --> 00:35.560 You're listening to firstamendmentradio .com. 00:35.680 --> 00:37.120 Thanks for tuning in everybody. 00:38.100 --> 00:41.500 If you're like me, you're anxious to get right to business this morning, 00:41.740 --> 00:46.800 reading and discussing the book A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave Hunt, now 00:46.800 --> 00:51.620 deceased, but a very, very interesting and informative book. 00:51.740 --> 00:55.380 It's my pleasure and blessing to get to read it here on Inquisition Update. 00:56.140 --> 01:01.840 Yesterday we concluded with the discussion, or rather, we concluded within 01:01.840 --> 01:09.780 the discussion of apostasy and ecumenism, the title of this chapter, Apostasy and 01:09.780 --> 01:10.720 Ecumenism. 01:11.320 --> 01:17.320 Dave Hunt is telling us that the ecumenical movement is not what it was 01:17.320 --> 01:21.320 originally touted to be, a union of all Christians. 01:21.800 --> 01:27.580 If that's not bad enough, ecumenism is literally the union of all the religions 01:27.580 --> 01:33.900 of the world in preparation for a global government, a global and social economic 01:33.900 --> 01:34.580 system. 01:35.860 --> 01:38.980 And, well, it's the great apostasy. 01:39.680 --> 01:41.000 Babylon the Great. 01:41.740 --> 01:45.860 The patriarchs of the Bible would never have thought to have any ecumenical 01:45.860 --> 01:50.180 dialogue with the Baal worshippers that surrounded Israel. 01:50.740 --> 01:53.500 They too fell into apostasy. 01:53.760 --> 02:00.320 But the true faith of God, the God of the Bible, would never hold an ecumenical 02:00.320 --> 02:02.980 conference with all the other religions of the world. 02:03.020 --> 02:05.300 But that's exactly what the Pope is leading. 02:06.160 --> 02:09.880 With the cooperation of the governments of the world over which he rules, 02:10.500 --> 02:15.860 and the other religious leaders of the various cults in the world, John Paul II 02:15.860 --> 02:20.580 is leading the whole world into a global apostasy similar to that of the Tower of 02:20.580 --> 02:22.360 Babel under Nimrod. 02:23.120 --> 02:27.420 That's why I call the papacy the modern-day Nimrod. 02:28.660 --> 02:34.360 And it's high time that God's people recognize this ecumenical movement for 02:34.360 --> 02:39.320 what it is, and repent of it, and hold true to the gospel. 02:40.100 --> 02:48.180 Now, page 422 of the book, subtitled Why Ecumenical Popes Are Popular, Dave Hunt 02:48.180 --> 02:52.700 writes, John Paul II seems to be in failing hell. 02:53.380 --> 02:58.640 Obviously, at the time of writing this book in the 80s, John Paul II seems to be 02:58.640 --> 02:59.760 in failing hell. 03:00.560 --> 03:05.640 Whether he recovers his strength and continues, or is replaced by another Pope, 03:05.760 --> 03:07.940 will have little effect upon the future. 03:08.760 --> 03:14.940 While John Paul II is the most blatant and effective ecumenist yet, he's only 03:14.940 --> 03:19.400 following the footsteps of his predecessors, and his successor will 03:19.400 --> 03:20.980 continue in the same direction. 03:21.860 --> 03:28.980 Pope John XXIII, who opened Vatican Council II, and Pope Paul VI, who closed 03:28.980 --> 03:36.600 it, joined such notables as the Dalai Lama, Anwar al-Sadat, a Muslim, 03:37.200 --> 03:43.280 and UN Secretary General Yu Thant, a Buddhist, to form the Temple of 03:43.280 --> 03:47.440 Understanding, known as the United Nations of Religion. 03:48.280 --> 03:53.420 Catholics have been prominent ever since in the leadership of this major effort to 03:53.420 --> 03:55.860 establish a world religion. 03:56.620 --> 04:01.680 As further proof of the ecumenism of Pope John Paul II's immediate predecessors, 04:02.660 --> 04:08.220 Paul VI gave his blessing to the Second World Conference on Religion and Peace in 04:08.220 --> 04:11.540 Leuven, Belgium, in 1974. 04:12.680 --> 04:19.320 Under Catholic leadership, the Leuven Declaration declared, quote, Buddhists, 04:19.620 --> 04:25.480 Christians, Confucians, Hindus, Jains, Jews, Muslims, Shintoists, 04:26.340 --> 04:33.100 Sikhs, Zoroastrians, and still others, we have sought here to listen to the 04:33.100 --> 04:37.360 spirit within our buried and venerable religious traditions. 04:38.440 --> 04:46.380 We have grappled with the towering issues that our societies must resolve in order 04:46.380 --> 04:47.900 to bring about peace. 04:48.460 --> 04:52.140 So peace is the objective of getting all the religions together. 04:52.280 --> 04:58.940 And he says, we rejoice that the long era of prideful and even prejudiced isolation 04:58.940 --> 05:05.440 of religions of humanity is, we hope, now gone forever. 05:06.040 --> 05:09.640 So with that, you can just kick out the gospel, too. 05:10.420 --> 05:13.880 And that's exactly what Rome has always tried to do. 05:14.520 --> 05:18.120 Destroy the gospel of Jesus Christ and replace it with another. 05:19.020 --> 05:23.840 Now, it's interesting that the vast majority of Catholics, while refusing to 05:23.840 --> 05:29.700 follow papal dogmas in many respects, are only too eager to embrace the Pope's 05:29.700 --> 05:30.560 ecumenism. 05:31.200 --> 05:32.120 And why not? 05:32.620 --> 05:36.860 The high percentage of Catholics who reject the basic teachings of the Roman 05:36.860 --> 05:40.580 Catholic Church points toward a broadening of Christianity. 05:41.360 --> 05:45.440 What Dave Hunt's telling us here is many Roman Catholics do not believe what the 05:45.440 --> 05:46.820 Roman Catholic Church teaches. 05:47.700 --> 05:54.020 And so the Vatican, in response, is just, well, trying to include all other 05:54.020 --> 05:54.540 religions. 05:55.320 --> 05:57.540 Trying to gobble up all other religions. 05:58.120 --> 06:01.960 And to broaden, quote-unquote, Christianity. 06:02.720 --> 06:03.020 Okay? 06:03.300 --> 06:06.520 So they're going to call this global religion, Christianity. 06:07.420 --> 06:14.120 It says a 1989 poll revealed that 25% of Catholics in America didn't believe in 06:14.120 --> 06:15.220 life after death. 06:16.000 --> 06:19.380 Another 46% said no one really knows. 06:20.260 --> 06:25.280 And 55% believe they can dissent from official Roman Catholic Church teaching 06:25.280 --> 06:27.300 while remaining Roman Catholics. 06:27.820 --> 06:37.560 In a 1992 poll, 67% of Catholics favored ordaining women, 52% accepted abortion, 06:38.400 --> 06:45.620 75% said priests should be allowed to marry, and 87% said married couples should 06:45.620 --> 06:48.080 make their own decision about birth control. 06:48.900 --> 06:57.180 In an April 1994 poll, quote, less than 29% of those under the age of 45 agreed 06:57.180 --> 07:03.000 that the bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ. 07:03.800 --> 07:04.720 Close quotes. 07:05.560 --> 07:09.800 So Roman Catholics don't even believe in transubstantiation. 07:10.500 --> 07:16.760 The Roman Catholic Church, as far as its official teaching, which by the way, 07:16.900 --> 07:20.460 according to Roman Catholic canon law, you must believe to be Catholic. 07:21.220 --> 07:24.900 Roman Catholics have rejected it by large percentages. 07:25.800 --> 07:30.100 And you must see this from the papacy's eyes. 07:30.980 --> 07:40.040 Roman Catholic canon law doesn't have the force of law among Roman Catholics. 07:40.580 --> 07:43.020 The papacy is in a desperate situation. 07:43.680 --> 07:45.820 So it's simply broadening its borders. 07:46.760 --> 07:48.600 You know, when you can't beat them, join them. 07:48.880 --> 07:50.160 That's what it looks like. 07:50.400 --> 07:53.760 Or rather, if you can't beat them, lead them all. 07:54.500 --> 07:54.780 Okay? 07:54.880 --> 07:56.800 It's an ecumenical all-skate. 07:57.420 --> 07:57.700 Okay? 07:58.280 --> 08:03.660 The organ is playing, the benches are to be emptied, and everyone is to be out on 08:03.660 --> 08:06.080 the floor skating with the Pope. 08:06.600 --> 08:07.920 That's what this amounts to. 08:08.620 --> 08:10.520 Mystery Babylon the Great. 08:11.200 --> 08:14.860 Now in France and Italy, the situation is even more amazing. 08:14.980 --> 08:18.060 Remember, France and Italy are both staunchly Roman Catholic. 08:18.860 --> 08:23.880 49% of French Catholics don't believe in the resurrection of Christ. 08:24.440 --> 08:29.460 So much for Rome's ability to spread the gospel, the Great Commission. 08:30.380 --> 08:33.040 She's obviously failed even in Roman Catholic countries. 08:33.220 --> 08:37.120 49% of French Catholics don't believe in the resurrection of Christ. 08:37.680 --> 08:40.160 60% don't believe in heaven. 08:40.880 --> 08:43.600 77% don't believe in hell. 08:44.220 --> 08:47.940 And 75% believe in neither purgatory nor the devil. 08:48.860 --> 08:54.280 In fact, quote, two-thirds of Catholic theologians express disbelief in the 08:54.280 --> 08:56.660 existence of Satan, unquote. 08:56.660 --> 09:00.240 And isn't that strange, since so many of them worship him? 09:00.920 --> 09:07.540 While 90% of Italians call themselves Roman Catholics, only about 30% attend 09:07.540 --> 09:08.440 Sunday Mass. 09:09.160 --> 09:14.360 And national elections in Italy during the past decade have legalized both divorce 09:14.360 --> 09:18.440 and abortion in spite of pressure from the church to the contrary. 09:19.360 --> 09:23.180 Roman Catholics are not alone in apostasy. 09:23.780 --> 09:24.820 Let me read that again. 09:25.000 --> 09:27.900 Roman Catholics are not alone in apostasy. 09:28.800 --> 09:35.140 A poll early in 1994 indicated that, quote, four out of ten Americans who call 09:35.140 --> 09:40.220 themselves evangelicals don't believe there is such a thing as absolute truth. 09:40.960 --> 09:43.800 And why don't you suppose they believe in absolute truth? 09:43.840 --> 09:48.380 Because they're taught from cradle to grave that we all come from pond scum, 09:49.040 --> 09:49.420 right? 09:50.080 --> 09:52.200 That God didn't create the heavens and the earth. 09:52.400 --> 09:56.380 The Genesis account is a lie, a fable, a parable. 09:57.400 --> 10:04.480 We don't believe in absolute truth because our schools and our churches are corrupt. 10:06.560 --> 10:11.980 Dave asks in brackets here, he says, is evangelical, like born again, 10:12.180 --> 10:13.820 becoming a meaningless term? 10:14.670 --> 10:17.820 How about the word Protestantism? 10:18.500 --> 10:20.320 Has that become a meaningless term? 10:21.120 --> 10:23.700 Not here at Inquisition Update, that's for certain. 10:24.340 --> 10:31.160 Now he says, of all United States adults, 71% say there is no such thing as absolute 10:31.160 --> 10:31.820 truth. 10:32.940 --> 10:36.140 Relativism and ecumenism go hand in hand. 10:36.980 --> 10:42.820 Those holding such loose views can easily be persuaded to join with almost anyone, 10:43.640 --> 10:45.760 provided the cause is compelling. 10:46.660 --> 10:51.520 Reviewing the book Rome's Sweet Home, A Story of Scott and Kimberly Hahn's 10:51.520 --> 10:54.680 Conversion to Roman Catholicism, John W. 10:54.820 --> 11:01.020 Robbins wrote, quote, Scott Hahn's defection is one of several similar 11:01.020 --> 11:01.840 defections. 11:02.600 --> 11:08.140 They are occurring not because Rome is a true church, but because of the apostasy 11:08.140 --> 11:11.020 of quote-unquote Protestantism. 11:11.620 --> 11:17.140 Just when the preaching of the gospel is most urgently needed, it is rarely heard 11:17.140 --> 11:19.620 in quote-unquote Protestant pulpits. 11:20.340 --> 11:25.700 Only the grace of God can save us from another dark age, and the church that 11:25.700 --> 11:31.540 Luther recognized as the slaughterhouse of souls, the Roman Catholic Church. 11:32.460 --> 11:37.080 Now under the subtitle Uniting Everyone in Prayer, look at the strategy that the 11:37.080 --> 11:41.260 Vatican is using to unite all pagan religions under its leadership. 11:42.080 --> 11:48.600 Since taking office in 1978, Pope John Paul II has moved ecumenism a quantum leap 11:48.600 --> 11:50.880 toward the coming world religion. 11:51.560 --> 11:55.980 One of the Pope's major tactics for unity is getting religious leaders together for 11:55.980 --> 11:56.380 prayer. 11:57.020 --> 12:04.180 He wants to usher in the new millennium with an unprecedented day of prayer with 12:04.180 --> 12:10.060 Muslims and Jews on Egypt's Mount Sinai, according to a letter published by the 12:10.060 --> 12:10.420 Vatican. 12:10.420 --> 12:16.080 That's right, they want to pollute Mount Sinai with their ecumenism. 12:16.860 --> 12:22.040 And I'm glad they've chosen a mountain in the Sinai because that's not God's holy 12:22.040 --> 12:22.440 mountain. 12:22.880 --> 12:24.620 It's in Saudi Arabia. 12:25.620 --> 12:31.860 But nonetheless, it's leading the world into a false security and rebellion 12:31.860 --> 12:33.760 against God at the same time. 12:34.500 --> 12:37.960 Isn't that just exactly what Satan intended to do? 12:37.960 --> 12:41.280 And that's why he chose the Pope of Rome to be his vicar. 12:42.260 --> 12:46.680 It says, one of John Paul II's most amazing feats was the gathering at Assisi, 12:46.900 --> 12:54.740 Italy in 1986 of 130 leaders of the world's 12 major religions to pray for 12:54.740 --> 12:55.280 peace. 12:55.280 --> 13:03.860 Praying together were snake worshippers, fire worshippers, spiritists, animists, 13:04.640 --> 13:09.480 North American witch doctors, Buddhists, Muslims and Hindus, as well as Christians 13:09.480 --> 13:10.360 and Catholics. 13:10.360 --> 13:15.920 The Pope declared that all were, quote, praying to the same God, 13:16.300 --> 13:16.860 unquote. 13:17.300 --> 13:22.740 On that occasion, the Pope allowed his good friend, the Dalai Lama, to replace 13:22.740 --> 13:28.900 the cross with Buddha on the altar of St. Peter's Church in Assisi, and for him and 13:28.900 --> 13:31.600 his monks to perform their Buddhist worship there. 13:31.600 --> 13:37.860 The two most urgent causes which will play an important part in uniting the world are 13:37.860 --> 13:39.680 ecology and peace. 13:40.420 --> 13:46.180 It is increasingly believed that peace will be achieved by prayer to some higher 13:46.180 --> 13:50.720 power, and any God will do, as Masonry says. 13:51.560 --> 13:55.560 Inspired by the Pope's example at Assisi... and by the way, this mention 13:55.560 --> 13:58.560 just now of Masonry is startling. 13:59.380 --> 14:04.840 You know, many have been told that the Roman Catholic Church has taken this 14:04.840 --> 14:10.960 ecumenical slant because it has been infiltrated by Freemasonry and the 14:10.960 --> 14:16.540 Illuminati, when the fact of the matter is, Rome has always been... well, 14:16.660 --> 14:17.880 let's just put it this way. 14:17.880 --> 14:25.200 The Vatican is Illuminati and Freemasonry, and always has been, despite its apparent 14:25.200 --> 14:25.960 opposition. 14:26.400 --> 14:32.620 The idea of unifying the whole world to rebel against Christ is the very 14:32.620 --> 14:36.300 foundation for Mystery Babylon the Great. 14:36.300 --> 14:39.020 And they all have an equal hand in it. 14:39.120 --> 14:42.940 Although they have different names and apparently are enemies of one another, 14:43.900 --> 14:48.820 they've been collectively working for the same goal. 14:49.820 --> 14:57.860 Masonry is just a cover for Jesuitism, for a global religion under one 14:57.860 --> 15:02.320 ecclesiastical head, which is now pretty evident that it's the Pope of Rome. 15:02.320 --> 15:10.260 Now, inspired by the Pope's example at Assisi, interfaith councils are springing 15:10.260 --> 15:15.700 up across the United States where Christians meet for prayer and social 15:15.700 --> 15:18.460 action with the followers of all religions. 15:18.460 --> 15:23.340 The procedure at one of the meetings was described by a participant. 15:50.780 --> 15:56.780 Prayer has been uniting all religions worldwide, and even under evangelical 15:56.780 --> 15:57.460 leadership. 15:58.340 --> 16:05.000 At the 1993 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., Senator Kerry read John 16:05.000 --> 16:12.560 3, verses 1-21, and strategically leaving out verse 16, according to Davon, 16:12.960 --> 16:18.660 suggested that Christ was speaking of quote, spiritual renewal, unquote, 16:19.140 --> 16:25.280 and that quote, in the spirit of Christ, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, and 16:25.280 --> 16:29.420 Christian, unquote, were meeting together for that purpose. 16:29.420 --> 16:35.720 Vice President Al Gore said, quote, faith in God, reliance upon a higher 16:35.720 --> 16:40.520 power, by whatever name, is, in my view, essential, unquote. 16:41.040 --> 16:48.180 God said, quote, if my people who are called by my name, unquote, will pray, 16:48.820 --> 16:54.500 quote, I will hear from heaven, unquote, 2 Chronicles 7-14. 16:55.520 --> 17:01.840 It was not an invitation to worshippers of Baal and Ashtoreth and other gods to join 17:01.840 --> 17:03.060 with Israel in prayer. 17:03.660 --> 17:05.400 That would have been an abomination. 17:06.280 --> 17:12.900 Yet today's evangelicals are joining a mixed multitude to pray and to work for 17:12.900 --> 17:14.740 social justice and peace. 17:14.740 --> 17:19.300 Now, under the subtitle, Gathering Worldwide Momentum, Dave says, 17:20.180 --> 17:25.600 it's amazing to what extent those who call themselves Christians are able to justify, 17:26.420 --> 17:31.480 for the cause of peace and ecological wholeness, participation in religious 17:31.480 --> 17:34.080 practices with those of all religions. 17:34.080 --> 17:40.700 He continues, he says, there's a large movement in South America called the First 17:40.700 --> 17:47.620 Assembly of the People of God of Latin America and the Caribbean, initials APD, 17:48.500 --> 17:53.240 which is attracting a truly ecumenical groundswell of Catholics, Protestants, 17:53.360 --> 17:56.600 and Pagans with the blessing of the Roman Catholic Church. 17:56.600 --> 18:04.280 The phrase, People of God, comes from Vatican Council 2, and the movement claims 18:04.280 --> 18:10.780 to have, quote, brought to light the model of the pluralistic and service-oriented 18:10.780 --> 18:15.120 church outlined in Vatican Council 2 teachings, unquote. 18:15.120 --> 18:21.240 The National Catholic Reporter favorably reported on the recent convention in 18:21.240 --> 18:21.660 Brazil. 18:21.980 --> 18:29.580 It said this, quote, one leader held a silver scepter to Candoble, the worship of 18:29.580 --> 18:30.680 African gods. 18:31.500 --> 18:37.780 Another, a Baptist minister, no less, displays a drawing of the world 18:37.780 --> 18:40.200 transversed by a crucifix. 18:40.200 --> 18:46.960 Beside him, a voodoo priest from Haiti raised a pot of incense, spreading good 18:46.960 --> 18:52.360 energy over the crowd, and a pastor from the United Presbyterian Church read from 18:52.360 --> 18:54.020 Paul's letter to the Galatians. 18:54.560 --> 18:59.740 The celebrants surrounded a Brazilian Catholic brother who lifted up a priest's 18:59.740 --> 19:04.860 stole, each kissed the colorful band of cloth, unquote. 19:04.860 --> 19:10.380 A much larger but similar gathering, the Parliament of the World's Religions, 19:10.500 --> 19:16.020 was held in Chicago in September 1993, and was attended by about 6,000 19:16.020 --> 19:18.660 representatives of the world's major faiths. 19:19.400 --> 19:24.360 One of the plenary speakers, the Dalai Lama, called for a worldwide, quote, 19:24.520 --> 19:30.260 spiritual awakening, unquote, that could be heeded by all religions. 19:30.260 --> 19:36.760 A major event of the Parliament was the awarding to Charles Colson of the 19:36.760 --> 19:44.160 Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, the world's most prestigious and lucrative 19:44.160 --> 19:48.460 ecumenical award amounting to about $1.2 million. 19:49.260 --> 19:55.180 It is given specifically for, quote, encouraging understanding of the benefits 19:55.180 --> 19:58.700 of each of the great religions, unquote. 19:58.700 --> 20:06.540 Imagine Elijah accepting an award for, quote, encouraging understanding of the 20:06.540 --> 20:13.080 benefits of Baal worship, unquote, or Paul on Mars Hill, quote, encouraging 20:13.080 --> 20:16.640 understanding of the benefits of paganism, unquote. 20:16.640 --> 20:23.560 As always at such ecumenical milestones, Catholic leadership was much in evidence, 20:24.060 --> 20:28.700 including Chicago's Cardinal Joseph Bernardin and Father Thomas A. 20:28.800 --> 20:33.820 Baima, director of the Chicago Archdiocese's Office for Ecumenical and 20:33.820 --> 20:35.040 Interreligious Affairs. 20:35.980 --> 20:42.860 Roman Catholic theologian Hans Kung was, quote, the main drafter of the Global 20:42.860 --> 20:48.860 Ethic, promoting interreligious cooperation, unquote, produced by the 20:48.860 --> 20:55.040 Parliament and signed by most of the leaders present, including Reverend Wesley 20:55.040 --> 20:55.520 R. 20:55.720 --> 21:01.120 Rajah, Deputy General Secretary of the World Council of Churches. 21:01.120 --> 21:06.360 And as we've said many times on Inquisition Update and proved by the 21:06.360 --> 21:11.780 readings of books, that the World Council of Churches is simply a Vatican 21:11.780 --> 21:19.360 organization to bring all religions under her control and authority. 21:19.360 --> 21:23.820 He continues and says it was, quote, the first time in history that 21:23.820 --> 21:28.680 representatives of all the world's religions, Buddhism, Christianity, 21:29.020 --> 21:36.140 Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and 120 other religious groups, reached common ground on 21:36.140 --> 21:37.300 ethical behavior. 21:38.280 --> 21:42.440 Representatives from the Vatican and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops 21:42.440 --> 21:45.160 were present and reacted favorably. 21:45.160 --> 21:50.800 The Los Angeles Times reported, quote, priests in Roman collars talked 21:50.800 --> 21:55.800 with saffron-robed Buddhist monks and Rastafarians engaged in animated 21:55.800 --> 21:59.320 discussions with Turban Sikhs. 21:59.720 --> 22:07.020 On one night, followers of the pagan religion Wicca performed a full moon 22:07.020 --> 22:09.020 ritual, unquote. 22:09.020 --> 22:12.240 So you see the true meaning of ecumenism? 22:13.080 --> 22:14.160 We've been deceived. 22:14.980 --> 22:20.140 Roman Catholicism is proving to be the bridge that brings together all faiths. 22:20.540 --> 22:25.780 That fact alone is not surprising, but it is astonishing to see evangelical 22:25.780 --> 22:30.820 Christians stepping onto that bridge on the one end, while at the same time, 22:31.380 --> 22:35.800 Hindus, Buddhists, and pagans of every stripe are stepping onto it from the 22:35.800 --> 22:36.040 other. 22:36.040 --> 22:42.340 If we are indeed in the last days, as seems apparent, it will not be long at 22:42.340 --> 22:45.140 all until all sides meet in the middle. 22:46.280 --> 22:48.740 And that's the great apostasy. 22:49.380 --> 22:54.160 You know, there will only be one that is not welcome on that bridge in the middle, 22:54.800 --> 22:57.620 and that will be Jesus Christ and his gospel. 22:57.620 --> 23:00.620 Because Jesus is not ecumenical. 23:01.460 --> 23:07.260 He said, there's no other name under heaven given among men, whereby you must 23:07.260 --> 23:07.940 be saved. 23:08.640 --> 23:14.680 And if you believe that Jesus is not the Savior and the Messiah, you will die in 23:14.680 --> 23:15.440 your sins. 23:16.000 --> 23:18.140 We'll be back right after these messages. 23:44.630 --> 23:48.590 You're listening to FirstAmendmentRadio .com Worldwide. 23:48.830 -->

Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 24:32.790 --> 24:34.390 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 24:35.050 --> 24:37.990 Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true? 24:38.670 --> 24:42.050 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a new one? 24:42.800 --> 24:48.430 Is it necessary to build a temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 24:48.430 --> 24:48.870 of the Rock? 24:49.430 --> 24:53.450 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the temple on Temple Mount? 24:53.930 --> 24:57.270 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 24:58.110 --> 24:59.530 What is the New Testament temple? 25:00.390 --> 25:02.490 Can we identify history and prophecy? 25:03.410 --> 25:06.250 Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13? 25:06.810 --> 25:09.510 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 25:09.510 --> 25:13.850 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 25:14.430 --> 25:18.690 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 25:18.690 --> 25:20.290 scripture to interpret scripture. 25:21.030 --> 25:24.410 The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private 25:24.410 --> 25:25.150 interpretation. 25:25.970 --> 25:28.870 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 25:29.310 --> 25:33.490 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 25:34.290 --> 25:43.630 Visit CrossTheBorder.org to get your print, e-pub or pdf version of Nicholas 25:43.630 --> 25:46.850 Arthur's new book

listening. 28:35.720 --> 28:44.240 On September 16, 1980, John Paul II told the Catholics in Ostebrook, Germany, 28:44.520 --> 28:52.480 quote, encourage in a charitable way your evangelical brothers, the Lutherans, 28:53.040 --> 28:59.420 to witness to their faith, to deepen in Christ their form of religious life, 28:59.480 --> 28:59.940 unquote. 29:00.680 --> 29:06.480 Amazingly that a Pope should be so encouraging to Lutherans who he waged 29:06.480 --> 29:10.040 inquisitions against not more than 500 years ago. 29:10.360 --> 29:17.480 Is the Pope merely enticing Protestants or is he really letting down the standard as 29:17.480 --> 29:18.640 many Catholics fear? 29:18.640 --> 29:26.340 On September 6, 1983, he spoke of going, quote, beyond misunderstandings to find 29:26.340 --> 29:29.720 once more what is common to all Christians, unquote. 29:30.780 --> 29:35.840 Such expressions of ecumenism have been common and have drawn fire from 29:35.840 --> 29:38.220 conservative critics within his church. 29:38.800 --> 29:42.840 That's right, many Roman Catholics are appalled at ecumenism. 29:43.420 --> 29:48.040 As a matter of fact, many of them go so far as to say that every Pope since John 29:48.040 --> 29:55.680 XXIII, who opened Vatican Council II, was a heretic and an anti-Christ, 29:56.120 --> 29:57.300 an anti-Pope. 29:58.740 --> 30:00.360 I got news for them. 30:00.700 --> 30:02.280 They're all anti-Popes. 30:02.500 --> 30:04.060 They're all anti-Christ. 30:04.880 --> 30:07.600 And they're destined for Christ's judgment. 30:08.440 --> 30:12.740 And that's why the plea from Inquisition Update is to come out of that church. 30:13.260 --> 30:20.520 Come out of that church in compliance with the command of Christ in Revelation 18, 30:20.780 --> 30:21.900 verses 4 and 5. 30:21.900 --> 30:27.420 He says, there's no doubt that John Paul II has been breaking new ground in his 30:27.420 --> 30:29.800 pursuit of, quote, unquote, unity. 30:30.580 --> 30:35.160 He knelt beside then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, at the 30:35.160 --> 30:46.080 Canterbury Anglican Cathedral altar, and the two leaders embraced. 30:46.760 --> 30:51.900 He says, in 1981, this is the cozy relationship that has been built between 30:51.900 --> 30:54.140 the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England. 30:54.420 --> 30:55.320 It's ghastly. 30:55.940 --> 31:03.940 In 1981, the Pope, quote, invited Metropolitan Damaskinos to speak in his 31:03.940 --> 31:04.540 place. 31:04.540 --> 31:13.280 For the first time since the schism of 1054 A.D., an Orthodox prelate thus sat in 31:13.280 --> 31:15.260 the chair of the Basilica, unquote. 31:15.840 --> 31:22.900 So the Vatican is reaching out to the Church of England and also the schismatic 31:22.900 --> 31:29.500 Orthodox who left the Roman Catholic Church in 1054 A.D. 31:29.520 --> 31:32.720 and became known as the Eastern or the Greek Orthodox Church. 31:32.720 --> 31:39.440 It says, the mutual anathemas between, let me just add that both Protestantism, 31:39.640 --> 31:45.520 which is claimed very weakly these days, but claimed by the Church of England, 31:45.980 --> 31:52.220 and the Orthodox Church are the two great schisms of the Roman Catholic Church. 31:52.440 --> 31:53.300 Mortal enemies. 31:54.240 --> 31:57.140 Rome has lashed out against both. 31:57.140 --> 32:02.880 In world wars, we've covered much of that in this book and many other books that 32:02.880 --> 32:03.460 we've read. 32:04.140 --> 32:10.320 The Vatican's second world war attack upon the Orthodox in the Baltic states under 32:10.320 --> 32:17.600 the headship of Roman Catholic priests and prelates, the Ustashi, in order to form a 32:17.600 --> 32:23.800 Roman Catholic super state in Croatia at the expense of the blood of untold 32:23.800 --> 32:29.400 thousands, hundreds of thousands, and some say over 2 million Orthodox 32:29.400 --> 32:29.940 Serbs. 32:30.940 --> 32:36.520 And of course, we've completely forgotten Rome's persecution of Protestants. 32:37.200 --> 32:42.040 We can talk all the time about Jewish persecution by the Roman Catholic Church 32:42.040 --> 32:46.420 during the second world war, but very few have the stomach to talk about the 32:46.420 --> 32:49.060 persecution of Protestants during that same period. 32:49.060 --> 32:53.880 But now the Pope's reaching out to them while he used to shed their blood with 32:53.880 --> 32:58.820 wild abandon by the most sophisticated arts of war. 32:59.520 --> 33:04.300 Now he's reaching out to these two schismatics, the Protestants and the 33:04.300 --> 33:04.680 Orthodox. 33:05.420 --> 33:08.960 Someone should ask themselves, is the Pope serious? 33:08.960 --> 33:15.240 And just like I alluded to yesterday, with all that blood on her hands, 33:15.860 --> 33:20.340 over nearly two millennia bloodshed of God's people, Bible-believing Christians, 33:21.180 --> 33:26.380 the Waldenses, the Huguenots, the Hussites, the Protestants, and those are 33:26.380 --> 33:32.100 just to name a few, and now Rome wants to reach out for peace? 33:32.100 --> 33:38.100 I think what Rome has done, which really hasn't sunk into the minds of people, 33:38.600 --> 33:42.940 is that she's admitted she was wrong when she killed God's people. 33:43.040 --> 33:45.040 She's reaching out to them now, isn't she? 33:45.760 --> 33:51.000 All that blood has come down upon her head, and I believe God sees it. 33:51.660 --> 33:53.860 And I think men ought to see it. 33:53.860 --> 33:58.720 The time for judgment of the Roman Catholic Church is well nigh at hand. 33:59.560 --> 34:04.740 Dave Hunt continues, he says, the mutual anathemas between Rome, the mutual 34:04.740 --> 34:12.040 damnations, better said, between Rome and Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern 34:12.040 --> 34:17.940 Orthodox Church, had been lifted in 1965 at Vatican Council II. 34:18.860 --> 34:19.460 1965. 34:20.200 --> 34:22.100 The Pope essentially said, the war is over. 34:22.720 --> 34:23.040 Right? 34:23.160 --> 34:24.980 We want peace and unity now. 34:25.720 --> 34:27.520 Forget about all of our bloodshed. 34:28.200 --> 34:29.200 Put that in the past. 34:29.280 --> 34:32.180 Let's not dwell on those things that divide us anymore. 34:33.000 --> 34:38.480 Like the blood of untold millions over nearly two millennia. 34:38.540 --> 34:40.340 Let's just forget about that. 34:40.340 --> 34:47.620 On August 2nd of 1982, the Pope resumed diplomatic relations with three 34:47.620 --> 34:53.160 Scandinavian countries that had not been recognized by the Vatican since they had 34:53.160 --> 34:55.940 broken with Rome at the Protestant Reformation. 34:56.760 --> 34:57.500 1982. 34:57.940 --> 35:00.660 The Pope simply didn't recognize those nations anymore. 35:00.660 --> 35:06.000 They no longer existed because they broke away from the Roman Catholic Church. 35:06.920 --> 35:11.100 And I believe it was in the Netherlands the Pope issued a decree to massacre all 35:11.100 --> 35:12.940 the Protestants in the entire nation. 35:13.700 --> 35:16.000 But we just don't talk about those things anymore. 35:16.000 --> 35:21.460 Real events in history mean you can't have a global religion led by the Pope unless 35:21.460 --> 35:27.340 you forget the cosmic bloodshed of that horror in Revelation 17. 35:28.000 --> 35:31.380 Drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus, 35:32.240 --> 35:39.220 the whole world is opening the door for this global religion headed up by the most 35:39.220 --> 35:42.520 mass-murdering organization in world history. 35:43.880 --> 35:50.380 On December 11th, 1983, Pope John Paul II became the first Pope in history to enter 35:50.380 --> 35:51.940 a Lutheran church. 35:52.500 --> 35:55.340 What do you suppose Martin Luther would do if he knew? 35:55.900 --> 36:02.860 He did so in Rome, where he took part in services and stated, quote, I am here 36:02.860 --> 36:09.340 because the Spirit of the Lord thrusts us towards ecumenical dialogue to find 36:09.340 --> 36:11.620 complete unity among Christians. 36:12.420 --> 36:17.200 Let me ask the question, how could any Christian have peace and unity with the 36:17.200 --> 36:20.100 biblical, historical, and prophetic Antichrist? 36:20.100 --> 36:28.380 In 1987, Patriarch Demetrius I was welcomed into St. Peter's Basilica by Pope 36:28.380 --> 36:34.460 John Paul II, who introduced him as, quote, his holiness, Demetrius I, 36:35.260 --> 36:41.180 our well-beloved brother in Christ, unquote, and exhorted the congregation to, 36:41.500 --> 36:45.460 quote, hear the words of the chief Patriarch, unquote. 36:45.460 --> 36:50.760 At the end of the Mass, Demetrius returned to the altar to bless the faithful. 36:51.700 --> 36:57.300 The Pope responded, quote, the Catholic Church and the Orthodox have been given 36:57.300 --> 37:03.280 the grace to recognize one another as sister churches and to walk towards full 37:03.280 --> 37:04.760 communion, unquote. 37:04.760 --> 37:11.940 On December 7, 1987, Patriarch Demetrius I and Pope John Paul II signed a declaration 37:11.940 --> 37:17.180 similar to the recent joint Catholic-Evangelical agreement in the 37:17.180 --> 37:17.960 United States. 37:18.060 --> 37:23.560 That's right, the Pope has signed similar documents with the Evangelicals in this 37:23.560 --> 37:23.960 country. 37:24.680 --> 37:28.000 Literally, it is mystery Babylon the Great. 37:28.000 --> 37:33.380 Quote, each of the churches has received and celebrates the same sacraments, 37:33.500 --> 37:37.620 and we reject all forms of proselytism, unquote. 37:38.100 --> 37:39.620 This is what they agreed. 37:40.000 --> 37:40.940 No sheep steal. 37:41.380 --> 37:48.300 The various churches, now being all one faith, there's no use in trying to 37:48.300 --> 37:49.860 proselytize one another. 37:49.860 --> 37:57.060 All the churches depend upon the financial support of their members, and sheep 37:57.060 --> 37:58.780 stealing will not be allowed. 37:59.620 --> 38:03.660 In other words, as long as you remain in this apostasy, Satan doesn't care if 38:03.660 --> 38:06.040 anybody proselytizes anyone else. 38:06.040 --> 38:08.900 But Rome doesn't want any proselytizing. 38:09.140 --> 38:09.300 Why? 38:09.440 --> 38:14.860 Because Rome is failing lock, stock, and barrel, especially now with the 38:14.860 --> 38:16.260 pedophile priest pandemic. 38:16.420 --> 38:20.060 People are unhappy with the Roman Catholic Church. 38:20.660 --> 38:22.780 And many of them are coming to Christ. 38:23.060 --> 38:24.380 They're coming to the gospel. 38:24.540 --> 38:29.180 They're hearing the gospel message for the first time, and Rome's losing the battle 38:29.180 --> 38:29.820 for souls. 38:29.820 --> 38:32.980 So the Pope doesn't want any proselytizing. 38:33.820 --> 38:36.780 It's just amazing to me. 38:37.480 --> 38:38.760 It's amazing to me. 38:39.620 --> 38:45.620 When has the Pope ever tolerated other religions? 38:46.340 --> 38:50.840 When has the papacy ever tolerated other religions? 38:50.840 --> 38:55.940 There was no such thing in Roman Catholic canon law as live and let live. 38:56.860 --> 39:02.940 Rome proselytizes by force, by getting control of the governments of the nations 39:02.940 --> 39:09.160 of the world, and making Roman Catholicism the state religion, to the exclusion of 39:09.160 --> 39:09.660 all others. 39:09.780 --> 39:11.740 That's Roman Catholic canon law. 39:12.500 --> 39:16.280 That's what Roman Catholic concordats are all about. 39:17.060 --> 39:19.660 And now Rome says no proselytizing. 39:20.840 --> 39:21.140 Rome's losing. 39:21.560 --> 39:23.140 Rome's losing the battle. 39:23.280 --> 39:25.500 The judgment of Almighty God is upon her. 39:26.300 --> 39:33.820 And Rome's only answer is to just eliminate religious strife and unite all 39:33.820 --> 39:40.060 the world's religions into a common error in rejecting Jesus Christ and the gospel. 39:40.060 --> 39:46.260 They've united all error against the singular truth. 39:47.080 --> 39:51.460 And when that really sinks home to my listeners, it'll make the hair stand on 39:51.460 --> 39:52.480 the back of your head. 39:53.260 --> 39:56.780 Rome is singling out the gospel for its destruction. 39:57.600 --> 40:00.880 And we better be strong in the faith because we're going to be challenged from 40:00.880 --> 40:01.760 every corner. 40:01.760 --> 40:10.000 We're going to be regarded as separatists, fundamentalists, words that have already 40:10.000 --> 40:13.520 been demonized by the mainstream and alternative medias. 40:13.860 --> 40:19.620 We're going to be regarded as religious bigots, unaccepting of other people. 40:20.380 --> 40:24.940 We're going to be regarded as hate speakers, intolerant. 40:25.500 --> 40:29.100 And we're not going to be accepted in this new global religion. 40:29.660 --> 40:34.940 Those who hold firmly to the gospel will stick out like a sore thumb when ecumenism 40:34.940 --> 40:39.500 gobbles up all the errors, all the churches of the world. 40:39.680 --> 40:43.800 Those who hold out for the gospel and for Christ are going to stick out like a sore 40:43.800 --> 40:44.200 thumb. 40:44.200 --> 40:47.440 You know, the Romans used to persecute the Jews. 40:47.560 --> 40:48.300 You know how they did it? 40:48.940 --> 40:55.240 They just made it a law that nobody could go to quote-unquote church on the Sabbath. 40:56.120 --> 41:01.340 But the day of worship was Sunday, the first day of the week. 41:02.060 --> 41:09.820 And anybody caught going into a synagogue on the Sabbath were just simply labeled as 41:09.820 --> 41:13.220 Jews and were submitted to persecution. 41:13.220 --> 41:16.620 Well, I suggest the same thing is going to happen. 41:17.220 --> 41:19.860 I suggest the same thing is going to happen now. 41:20.000 --> 41:20.940 And it's happening now. 41:21.060 --> 41:25.720 Rome is singling us out and making us readily identifiable in the world. 41:26.600 --> 41:32.320 The persecution of God's people is going to take off like never before. 41:32.320 --> 41:39.980 Under the subtitle Strange Bedfellows, Dave Hunt says, on January 3, 1994, 41:41.060 --> 41:50.660 Chinese Premier Li Ping signed into law documents 144, which had to do with 41:50.660 --> 41:56.860 regulations on the management of religious activity of foreigners within China's 41:56.860 --> 41:57.200 borders. 41:57.200 --> 42:06.640 And 145, which was entitled Management of Places of Religious Activity Ordinance. 42:07.160 --> 42:14.880 And it says, and when Wen Weipo, Hong Kong's major pro-Beijing newspaper, 42:15.440 --> 42:21.200 admitted these regulations are intended to prevent proselytizing by foreigners. 42:21.200 --> 42:28.200 The Chinese government realizes the danger to communism if evangelicals are allowed 42:28.200 --> 42:32.060 to obey Christ's command to preach the gospel to every person. 42:32.920 --> 42:36.080 See who's being excluded from China? 42:36.560 --> 42:40.320 Those who are answering the commission. 42:40.320 --> 42:44.440 Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 42:45.200 --> 42:46.220 That's our commission. 42:47.040 --> 42:53.780 But China, and you can bet your bippy with the help of the Vatican, has promoted laws 42:53.780 --> 42:58.940 prohibiting this type of proselytizing, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in 42:58.940 --> 42:59.260 China. 42:59.260 --> 43:05.580 And I wish I were there to show the evidence, but I'll bet you there is a move 43:05.580 --> 43:09.900 of God in China that would rival anything in world history. 43:10.740 --> 43:14.640 An underground church of true Bible-believing Christians in China. 43:15.480 --> 43:18.160 God's going to call out a people for himself in China. 43:19.080 --> 43:23.860 He says a similar but voluntary ban on proselytism is a key element in the 43:23.860 --> 43:25.920 accelerating ecumenical movement. 43:25.920 --> 43:27.520 Listen to this. 43:27.760 --> 43:33.940 Billy Graham's World Mission 95 involves such a pledge on the part of participating 43:33.940 --> 43:34.520 churches. 43:35.440 --> 43:36.500 No sheep stealing. 43:36.820 --> 43:38.060 Imagine, Billy Graham. 43:38.840 --> 43:44.180 He says the instructions for France, for example, for participation in this 43:44.180 --> 43:48.900 crusade that will be broadcast worldwide by satellite are clear. 43:48.900 --> 43:53.740 All the denominations, Catholic, Orthodox, etc. 43:54.520 --> 44:01.360 are to be kept advised and cooperation is to be mutual among all in spite of 44:01.360 --> 44:02.740 differences in theology. 44:03.800 --> 44:09.600 And there is to be absolutely no inter-church proselytizing. 44:11.160 --> 44:14.920 In other words, you can come to the crusade, but you must go back to your 44:14.920 --> 44:15.780 Roman Catholic church. 44:16.500 --> 44:20.240 You can come to Christ, you can come to Billy Graham's crusade and hear the 44:20.240 --> 44:23.900 gospel, but you must go back to your Roman Catholic church where they can snuff it 44:23.900 --> 44:25.540 out the moment you walk through the door. 44:25.540 --> 44:27.600 Billy Graham was a traitor. 44:28.440 --> 44:29.660 A traitor to Christ. 44:30.500 --> 44:35.700 He says, ironically, the headquarters of the mission in France is in the town of 44:35.700 --> 44:40.360 Braziers, which readers will recall was wiped out by Pope Innocent III with the 44:40.360 --> 44:45.480 loss of about 60,000 lives, and it was regarded as the crowning achievement of 44:45.480 --> 44:46.140 his papacy. 44:46.140 --> 44:51.660 One of the most amazing displays of this anti-proselytism compromised by 44:51.660 --> 44:56.420 evangelicals of Christ's command to preach the gospel in all the world to every 44:56.420 --> 45:01.720 creature, Mark 16, verse 15, occurred in Colorado. 45:02.740 --> 45:07.680 In recent years, the city of Colorado Springs has seen the influx of numerous 45:07.680 --> 45:11.000 evangelical ministries establishing their offices there. 45:11.920 --> 45:16.660 Evangelical youth were winning their Catholic and Jewish schoolmates to Christ, 45:17.400 --> 45:20.100 bringing complaints from Catholic and Jewish leaders. 45:20.660 --> 45:25.660 To bring peace to the community, evangelical leaders, among them James 45:25.660 --> 45:30.860 Dobson, 33rd degree Freemason, it's not included here, but that's what he 45:30.860 --> 45:40.420 is, Navigators Terry Taylor, Youth Life Director Terry P. McGonigal, and local 45:40.420 --> 45:46.820 evangelical pastors signed a, quote, covenant of mutual respect, unquote, 45:46.820 --> 45:52.300 with the local Catholic bishop and the Jewish rabbi and others. 45:52.480 --> 46:02.340 The covenant itself was reproduced in the April 22, 1993 edition of the Colorado 46:02.340 --> 46:08.040 Springs Gazette-Telegraph under the title, A Message to the People of Colorado 46:08.040 --> 46:09.720 Springs. 46:10.400 --> 46:17.960 It recognized the, quote, Judeo-Christian heritage, unquote, common to all faiths, 46:17.980 --> 46:22.440 represented by those signing the covenant, and basically pledged to, quote, 46:22.920 --> 46:28.340 learn from each other in a spirit of goodwill and mutual respect, unquote, 46:28.620 --> 46:31.300 rather than to evangelize. 46:31.300 --> 46:33.680 This sold out the gospel. 46:34.360 --> 46:38.880 You can no longer preach the gospel in Colorado Springs, otherwise you will 46:38.880 --> 46:39.280 offend. 46:40.100 --> 46:43.340 And this is supposed to be a Christian directive? 46:44.680 --> 46:50.860 A Catholic newspaper reported triumphantly, quote, the effort to 46:50.860 --> 46:55.320 evangelize by some communities was creating an atmosphere of animosity, 46:55.580 --> 46:59.560 said Bishop Richard Hanifin of the Diocese of Colorado Springs. 46:59.560 --> 47:06.820 About a year ago, Rabbi Howard Hirsch of the Temple Shalom and Bishop Hanifin both 47:06.820 --> 47:11.300 found that Jewish and Catholic youth were being evangelized at school by other 47:11.300 --> 47:13.560 students of different faiths. 47:14.340 --> 47:20.600 Terry McGonigal, director of the Institute of Youth Ministries for Young Life, 47:21.440 --> 47:25.800 agreed that other Christian youths were being evangelized in schools as well. 47:25.800 --> 47:31.940 To curb misunderstanding and to facilitate understanding, religious leaders from 47:31.940 --> 47:36.760 community churches and organizations began meeting informally to discuss the 47:36.760 --> 47:37.500 situation. 47:38.440 --> 47:43.920 Youth leaders attended the first meeting, June 26, 1992, to discuss whether the 47:43.920 --> 47:50.440 evangelization efforts were a problem, and determined that they were. 47:51.240 --> 47:56.540 Bishop Hanifin said in the future he hopes the group will explore all kinds of issues 47:56.540 --> 48:01.020 to learn the values of various faiths and how they view the scripture. 48:01.640 --> 48:06.460 Quote, instead of trying to convince each other which way to settle issues, 48:07.160 --> 48:12.160 we hope to understand the processes of how we settle issues, he said. 48:12.160 --> 48:18.840 I think with God's help this will set the stage for the future for how our different 48:18.840 --> 48:24.380 traditions will behave, and that I think is very good for Colorado Springs. 48:24.800 --> 48:25.200 Unquote. 48:25.560 --> 48:31.640 So the hierarchs are going to get together and say how each religious community 48:31.640 --> 48:32.360 should behave. 48:32.360 --> 48:34.660 Forget what the gospel says. 48:34.820 --> 48:40.960 Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature that has been set 48:40.960 --> 48:45.340 aside by religious leaders in Colorado Springs. 48:45.740 --> 48:49.860 And the Pope is setting the same agenda for the rest of the world. 48:50.660 --> 48:52.940 They're simply following the papacy's lead. 48:53.520 --> 48:55.580 The lead of Antichrist. 48:55.580 --> 49:00.020 Under the subtitle of Charismatic Bridge to Rome, this one is particularly 49:00.020 --> 49:02.860 sensitive to me because my whole family is charismatic. 49:03.880 --> 49:07.980 He says, oddly at the same time that Rome is complaining about having Catholics 49:07.980 --> 49:13.760 evangelized, it is engaged in the largest evangelization program in history. 49:13.920 --> 49:19.220 It's called Evangelization 2000, and it is directed from the Vatican by 49:19.220 --> 49:23.360 Father Thomas Forrest, to whom we have already referred. 49:23.360 --> 49:29.740 He organized a worldwide priest retreat which met at Vatican City September of 49:29.740 --> 49:33.300 1990 to kick off the decade of evangelization. 49:34.260 --> 49:39.200 You know, Rome can evangelize, but God's people can't. 49:39.300 --> 49:39.480 Right? 49:40.040 --> 49:44.100 And of course, I've already told you many times how Rome evangelizes. 49:45.080 --> 49:49.660 Interestingly, quote, the first purpose of the retreat, Forrest said, was to 49:49.660 --> 49:51.420 evangelize the priests. 49:51.920 --> 49:52.560 Unquote. 49:52.560 --> 49:58.260 About 1,000 of the 6,000 priests attending responded to the call to, quote, 49:58.660 --> 50:02.780 receive Christ as Savior and be filled with the Holy Spirit. 50:03.040 --> 50:03.500 Unquote. 50:04.180 --> 50:10.780 Why should such an appeal be necessary, especially among the priests, if Catholics 50:10.780 --> 50:11.540 are saved? 50:11.540 --> 50:17.540 And how could these 1,000 really receive Christ as Savior, in the biblical meaning 50:17.540 --> 50:22.940 of that phrase, without denying most of the Catholicism that they have been 50:22.940 --> 50:24.100 trained to perpetuate? 50:24.820 --> 50:28.940 That Tom Forrest is still a Roman Catholic priest who celebrates the Mass, 50:29.440 --> 50:35.020 believes in purgatory and indulgences, and dare not say that he is eternally 50:35.020 --> 50:40.420 saved, indicates that he has never accepted the biblical gospel. 50:40.420 --> 50:45.220 Yet evangelicals accept him as a partner in the gospel. 50:46.160 --> 50:47.360 Forrest is charismatic. 50:48.420 --> 50:53.280 Much of the responsibility for the growing partnership with Catholicism lies with 50:53.280 --> 50:56.440 certain leaders in the charismatic movement. 50:57.320 --> 51:02.680 Charismatics were the first to hold joint Protestant-Catholic conferences and to 51:02.680 --> 51:04.720 accept one another as Christians. 51:04.720 --> 51:12.680 And we'll be back tomorrow to again reiterate what part the charismatics and 51:12.680 --> 51:20.540 charisma played in uniting Catholics and Protestants against Christ. 51:21.300 --> 51:22.220 Sounds shocking? 51:22.700 --> 51:23.440 It is. 51:23.520 --> 51:24.380 Come back tomorrow. 51:25.160 --> 51:28.160 You've been listening to Inquisition Update on First Amendment Radio. 51:28.440 --> 51:29.420 I'll see you tomorrow. 52:43.740 --> 52:48.760 The program you are listening to is 100% sponsored by you, the listener, 52:48.940 --> 52:51.040 on this First Amendment rights media channel. 52:51.040 --> 52:55.080 You will notice that there are few commercials on this radio network. 52:55.740 --> 52:57.200 There's a good reason for that. 52:57.720 --> 53:02.200 Corporate advertising dollars come with strings that limit program content. 53:02.760 --> 53:07.280 So without your help, these programs cannot continue on satellite, internet, 53:07.920 --> 53:09.800 or our several affiliates. 53:10.200 --> 53:14.800 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. 53:20.480 --> 53:25.900 If some voice a cause that you are passionate about, we ask you to give. 53:26.440 --> 53:30.980 If you believe in any of these, we ask you to support them, as you would a 53:30.980 --> 53:36.260 missionary, on a continual basis, as if giving a tithe for missionary radio. 53:36.880 --> 53:41.800 These programs are not commercially viable and must be supported by those faithful to 53:41.800 --> 53:42.800 the cause of truth. 53:43.380 --> 53:47.360 Look for the button to sponsor your favorite programs at our Listen and 53:47.360 --> 53:49.220 Schedule pages on the internet. 53:49.220 --> 53:54.120 We will also give you unlimited archive access to all of our programs. 53:54.520 --> 53:59.640 We're asking you to give much less than a tithe, so that you may also send support 53:59.640 --> 54:05.480 directly to a particular program host, cause, and anywhere else the Spirit may 54:05.480 --> 54:06.060 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. 54:15.080 --> 54:16.500 Thank you for listening. 54:24.240 --> 54:29.920 Visit crosstheborder.org, C-R-O-S-S, crosstheborder.org, to get your print, 54:30.060 --> 54:35.260 e-pub, or PDF version of Nicholas Arthur's new book titled, When the Third Temple is 54:35.260 --> 54:35.580 Built. 54:35.980 --> 54:37.560 That's crosstheborder.org. 54:37.960 --> 54:41.620 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 54:41.620 --> 54:46.220 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 54:46.220 --> 54:47.040 begin to be built. 54:47.040 --> 54:52.540 The plans are drawn, the Jewish people are eager, most Evangelical Christians today 54:52.540 --> 54:55.580 believe that the rapture will happen before the Third Temple is built. 54:55.820 --> 54:57.520 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 54:58.080 --> 55:00.700 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 55:01.320 --> 55:02.960 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 55:03.600 --> 55:06.560 Have we searched the Scriptures and found this to be true? 55:07.320 --> 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?
