WEBVTT 00:32.920 --> 00:33.920 Good morning. 00:34.260 --> 00:35.800 Welcome to Inquisition Update. 00:36.040 --> 00:38.800 My name is Tom Peres and I'll be your host for the next hour. 00:39.340 --> 00:41.800 You're listening to FirstAmendmentRadio .com. 00:41.880 --> 00:42.900 Thanks for tuning in. 00:43.680 --> 00:48.080 And we'll continue where we left off in the book, A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave 00:48.080 --> 00:48.600 Hunt. 00:48.600 --> 00:51.280 We concluded Appendix A of the book. 00:51.380 --> 00:55.660 Now we're going to go on to Appendix B, dealing with indulgences. 00:55.760 --> 01:02.020 First we talked about this imaginary place of suffering called Purgatory that was 01:02.020 --> 01:05.120 created out of thin air by the Roman Catholic Church. 01:06.480 --> 01:13.060 And then, after creating this fictitious place of torture, then they created 01:13.060 --> 01:17.260 indulgences so one may buy his way out of Purgatory. 01:18.200 --> 01:21.340 Money-making like you cannot believe. 01:22.200 --> 01:26.820 That's why the Roman Catholic Church is the most wealthy institution on the 01:26.820 --> 01:27.280 planet. 01:28.560 --> 01:34.900 Appendix B, indulgences, Dave Hunt begins by saying, Can Bible-believing Christians 01:34.900 --> 01:41.620 really accept such an obviously false gospel and join with those who preach it 01:41.620 --> 01:43.620 in evangelizing the world? 01:44.620 --> 01:51.120 Can evangelicals in good conscience direct inquiring souls to the Roman Catholic 01:51.120 --> 01:57.580 Church, which preaches purgatory and indulgences, and agree that its members 01:57.580 --> 02:00.840 are Christians and not to be evangelized? 02:01.980 --> 02:07.560 A church which claims to control the gates of heaven and opens it to those who put 02:07.560 --> 02:09.340 themselves in her hands? 02:10.520 --> 02:17.960 In fact, the Roman Catholic Church glories in her claims to be, quote, the minister 02:17.960 --> 02:22.900 of redemption, unquote, see Canon Law 992. 02:24.680 --> 02:32.280 Rome unashamedly admits that the salvation she offers must be received in partial 02:32.280 --> 02:37.980 installments, and that its efficacy is derived not only from, quote, unquote, 02:38.180 --> 02:44.840 Christ's merits, but from the surplus, quote, good works of all the saints, 02:45.160 --> 02:50.140 unquote, beyond what they needed to, quote, attain their own salvation, 02:50.560 --> 02:50.940 unquote. 02:52.000 --> 03:01.420 So what Dave is describing here is an imaginary bank of merit that is in the 03:01.420 --> 03:07.000 complete control of the Roman Catholic Church, and in that bank is all the 03:07.000 --> 03:14.720 spiritual merits earned by Jesus Christ, by Mary, and all the saints in the Bible, 03:15.100 --> 03:22.820 or all the saints of the Roman Catholic Church, and it is by their good works or 03:22.820 --> 03:37.480 their merits that were in excess of their own salvation that are held and accrued in 03:37.480 --> 03:45.240 this bank of merit and then may be dispensed by the Roman Catholic Church to 03:45.240 --> 03:47.280 apply to anyone who can afford it. 03:50.260 --> 03:52.020 The Bible says nothing of this. 03:53.680 --> 03:55.020 Complete fabrication. 03:56.920 --> 04:02.640 Now Dave continues, he says, How astonishing that evangelical leaders could 04:02.640 --> 04:09.260 credit Roman Catholicism with being Christian and propose to evangelize the 04:09.260 --> 04:12.540 world as partners in the gospel with the Roman Catholic Church. 04:13.960 --> 04:19.160 We can only assume that they are ignorant of the Roman Catholic Church's true 04:19.160 --> 04:25.600 teachings and have been deceived by the many misrepresentations emanating from 04:25.600 --> 04:27.340 Roman Catholic apologists. 04:28.580 --> 04:34.260 How else could those who otherwise seem to be stalwarts of the faith say that 04:34.260 --> 04:38.580 evangelicals and Catholics are in agreement on the fundamentals of the 04:38.580 --> 04:39.000 gospel? 04:40.280 --> 04:50.660 Let me just simply add that the Roman Catholic Church rejects the gospel and 04:50.660 --> 04:52.900 presents to the world another one. 04:54.140 --> 05:00.160 It rejects Jesus Christ and presents to the world another Christ. 05:01.680 --> 05:05.520 What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 05:07.860 --> 05:10.180 We're not to be a part of this. 05:10.280 --> 05:11.260 We are to be separate. 05:13.260 --> 05:17.160 Touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you, Jesus said. 05:19.020 --> 05:25.760 Dave continues, he says, Vatican Council 2 goes on to say, To gain indulgences, 05:26.360 --> 05:28.760 the work prescribed must be done. 05:30.180 --> 05:41.620 In other words, to buy merit or to get, to receive some merit out of this bank of 05:41.620 --> 05:46.900 merit controlled by the Roman Catholic Church, you have to perform certain work. 05:48.620 --> 05:50.260 It's a transaction. 05:52.320 --> 05:55.080 It's purchasing salvation. 05:55.860 --> 05:57.780 It's purchasing merit. 05:58.280 --> 06:03.840 So that you may have a rightful claim to heaven. 06:06.180 --> 06:08.020 No need for Christ. 06:08.960 --> 06:11.160 You can buy your way to heaven. 06:12.220 --> 06:14.240 You can earn your way to heaven. 06:14.360 --> 06:18.780 And if you can't earn your way to heaven, if you haven't stored up enough of your 06:18.780 --> 06:26.300 own merits to get you into heaven, then you can, well, make a withdrawal from 06:26.300 --> 06:30.460 the bank of the excess merits of Christ and Mary and the Saints. 06:32.540 --> 06:35.000 That's the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. 06:36.660 --> 06:44.180 He says, here is proof, if it were needed, that Rome preaches, promises and practices 06:44.180 --> 06:45.940 salvation by works. 06:47.020 --> 06:51.120 And yet, oddly enough, the person himself doesn't have to do the good works. 06:51.920 --> 06:57.180 The good works of others may be credited to one's account in Rome's contrived 06:57.180 --> 07:04.120 ledger, which, when balanced out by its specious reckoning, opens the gate of 07:04.120 --> 07:04.520 heaven. 07:06.860 --> 07:14.500 It's like the New York Stock Exchange of grace, filthy lucre for the Church, 07:15.700 --> 07:19.600 and an imagined salvation for Roman Catholics. 07:21.220 --> 07:25.180 Under the subtitle, The Origin and Development of the Doctrine of 07:25.180 --> 07:30.860 Indulgences, Dave writes, the very concept of indulgences comes from paganism. 07:31.620 --> 07:37.340 The idea that the infliction of pain, the recital of formulas, or the 07:37.340 --> 07:44.220 pilgrimages to shrines and sacrifices to the gods are meritorious and influences 07:44.220 --> 07:46.020 the gods in one's favor. 07:47.160 --> 07:55.460 The idea that saying so many Hail Marys or kissing a crucifix or repeating a formula 07:55.460 --> 08:00.040 could reduce purgatorial suffering, which Christ's sacrifice on the cross 08:00.040 --> 08:02.800 could not reduce, is bad enough. 08:03.460 --> 08:09.180 But the teaching that an indulgence may be applied to the dead carries this 08:09.180 --> 08:12.260 blasphemous absurdity a quantum leap further. 08:13.560 --> 08:19.600 The idea that, quote, time off for good behavior, unquote, could be credited to 08:19.600 --> 08:25.260 someone in purgatory who has not done the necessary, quote, work prescribed, 08:25.540 --> 08:30.320 unquote, betrays again the fraud of Romanism. 08:31.260 --> 08:35.240 Anything is possible for a financial offering to the church. 08:36.660 --> 08:43.600 The gospel of indulgences is one of Rome's most blatantly unbiblical and illogical 08:43.600 --> 08:48.540 doctrines coming out of the Middle Ages, and it's still in force today. 08:49.640 --> 08:57.160 The pagan concept of indulgences gradually became defined as part of Roman 08:57.160 --> 09:02.900 Catholicism over the years, and eventually became the papacy's greatest money-making 09:02.900 --> 09:03.580 scheme. 09:05.180 --> 09:11.480 Theoretically, it should take only one mass to release every soul from purgatory. 09:12.540 --> 09:16.880 Mary, whose power, they say, is infinite, could do it in a moment. 09:17.720 --> 09:24.500 And the popes, whose power is also unlimited, could empty purgatory with the 09:24.500 --> 09:29.720 stroke of his pen, but simply devising an indulgence to do so. 09:30.160 --> 09:33.140 By simply devising an indulgence. 09:34.020 --> 09:36.520 By simply writing a pardon. 09:38.460 --> 09:43.060 You know, the presidents of the United States have the power to pardon prisoners. 09:44.400 --> 09:48.200 That's just a model for what power the popes have. 09:49.640 --> 09:56.400 For a president of the United States to just arbitrarily release from prison the 09:56.400 --> 10:04.700 most hardened political criminals is a power that he should not have. 10:06.680 --> 10:08.380 And neither should the pope. 10:11.190 --> 10:14.790 Now, do they have no love for souls? 10:15.590 --> 10:23.290 If the pope is such a loving individual, the dispenser of all graces, and truly 10:23.290 --> 10:28.570 loves the sinner, or truly loves the Christian in purgatory, why wouldn't he 10:28.570 --> 10:33.030 just write a plenary indulgence to every soul in purgatory and spring them? 10:36.120 --> 10:37.700 The answer is obvious. 10:38.380 --> 10:45.140 The historian Von Dollinger writes, quote, Augustino Trionfo, commissioned by 10:45.140 --> 10:51.620 Pope John XXII to expound the rights of the popes, showed that, as the dispenser 10:51.620 --> 10:57.780 of the merits of Christ, he could empty purgatory in one stroke by his indulgences 10:57.780 --> 11:03.280 of all the souls detained there, on the sole condition that somebody 11:03.280 --> 11:07.020 fulfilled the rules laid down for gaining those indulgences. 11:07.020 --> 11:14.160 But, he advised the pope not to do this, though the pope's power was so 11:14.160 --> 11:19.340 immeasurably great that no pope can ever know the full extent of it. 11:20.360 --> 11:26.000 In other words, the pope's power is so immeasurably great that nobody can even 11:26.000 --> 11:28.800 quantify it. 11:30.280 --> 11:37.840 But, even though the pope had plentitude of power to spring free every writhing 11:37.840 --> 11:46.040 Christian in purgatory from the flames of torment, he's best advised not to do it. 11:48.380 --> 11:51.680 That's the love of the gospel of the Roman Catholic Church. 11:53.600 --> 11:59.400 Now, to empty purgatory would stop the inflow of offerings for masses and endless 11:59.400 --> 12:01.480 graces and favors from the church. 12:02.480 --> 12:07.720 Instead, the requirements of getting out of purgatory were made ever more complex, 12:08.600 --> 12:12.220 necessitating ever greater services from the church. 12:13.220 --> 12:19.040 The doctrine of indulgences was at last declared an official church dogma by Pope 12:19.040 --> 12:24.340 Clement, I would say, Antichrist Clement VI, in 1343. 12:25.700 --> 12:32.040 Clement reasoned that, quote, one drop, just one drop of Christ's blood would have 12:32.040 --> 12:35.620 sufficed for the redemption of the whole human race, unquote. 12:36.660 --> 12:42.920 But the remainder of that blood shed on the cross, its virtue, quote, increased by 12:42.920 --> 12:48.500 the merits of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the supererogatory works of the saints, 12:48.680 --> 12:54.100 unquote, which is above and beyond the good works and the deeds necessary for 12:54.100 --> 13:01.680 their own salvation, constitutes the treasury, the bank, the bank referred to 13:01.680 --> 13:02.100 above. 13:03.240 --> 13:10.640 By papal bull of 1476, Pope Pius IV, quote, excuse me, Pope Sixtus IV, 13:11.160 --> 13:17.500 quote, extended this privilege to the souls in purgatory, reducing their time of 13:17.500 --> 13:23.580 suffering there, provided that their living relatives purchased indulgences for 13:23.580 --> 13:24.660 them, unquote. 13:25.880 --> 13:26.820 Ka-ching! 13:27.180 --> 13:27.800 Ka-ching! 13:28.140 --> 13:28.720 Ka-ching! 13:29.840 --> 13:31.700 You got a relative in purgatory? 13:32.300 --> 13:33.200 No problem. 13:33.760 --> 13:37.140 You just go to the Roman Catholic Church and give them everything you can spare, 13:37.520 --> 13:41.620 and they will say a certain amount of masses for your dead relative. 13:43.000 --> 13:47.100 Now, how many masses it's going to take to get him out of purgatory, nobody knows. 13:47.840 --> 13:53.580 So to play it safe, you better ring the cash cow several times, as many times as 13:53.580 --> 13:54.240 possible. 13:55.360 --> 14:00.800 Since your dead relative didn't leave the farm and the house and the kids to the 14:00.800 --> 14:07.080 church, you descendants of this dead person can... 14:07.740 --> 14:13.080 well, get an extra job if you care that much about your beloved relative in 14:13.080 --> 14:13.620 purgatory. 14:14.000 --> 14:15.200 Get an extra job. 14:16.160 --> 14:20.740 And give us your wages, your extra wages, and we'll save masses until the cows come 14:20.740 --> 14:21.040 home. 14:22.360 --> 14:22.940 Ka-ching! 14:23.280 --> 14:23.940 Ka-ching! 14:24.280 --> 14:24.820 Ka-ching! 14:26.080 --> 14:28.820 Now you know why Roman Catholic Churches are gold-plated. 14:30.760 --> 14:36.840 Because you believed in this imaginary purgatory, and this imaginary indulgence 14:36.840 --> 14:42.160 that you can buy to release your friend or family member from purgatory. 14:44.280 --> 14:51.980 He says out of this quote-unquote treasury of the church, salvation or redemption is 14:51.980 --> 14:57.200 dispensed a bit at a time by the Roman Catholic clergy through the seven 14:57.200 --> 14:57.960 sacraments. 14:58.320 --> 15:01.440 Remember the seven sacraments, the mass being the major one. 15:02.260 --> 15:06.640 Baptism, marriage, holy orders, extreme unction. 15:07.000 --> 15:11.060 You participate in all these sacraments, and each time you participate in these 15:11.060 --> 15:19.380 sacraments, another coin of merit drops into the bank to get you out of purgatory. 15:19.580 --> 15:20.080 Ka-ching! 15:20.300 --> 15:20.740 Ka-ching! 15:21.580 --> 15:26.620 It says there is no way to know how much credit is granted for each deed, 15:27.100 --> 15:32.180 each ritual, or each indulgence, or how long this process must continue. 15:33.480 --> 15:35.700 In other words, you are on the hook for the rest of your life. 15:37.180 --> 15:43.240 And after you die, your children and your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren 15:43.240 --> 15:46.880 can continue to pay the church to get you out of purgatory. 15:47.720 --> 15:51.380 That means you better stay in pretty good standing with the rest of your family. 15:52.040 --> 15:56.900 If nobody says any masses for you after you die, you just stay in purgatory. 15:57.800 --> 16:06.460 Until all of your sins have been, well, burned away. 16:09.200 --> 16:15.340 Dave says, never is sufficient grace given to assure one of heaven in the Roman 16:15.340 --> 16:16.140 Catholic Church. 16:17.660 --> 16:23.740 Always more rosaries must be said, more masses performed, more offerings 16:23.740 --> 16:29.640 given to the church in order to obtain more grace from the church. 16:30.840 --> 16:36.900 Peter, whom Roman Catholics say was the first pope, warned of such, quote-unquote, 16:37.200 --> 16:42.780 false teachers who would, quote, bring in damnable heresies. 16:43.740 --> 16:48.680 And through covetousness, that is, greed for someone else's property, 16:49.680 --> 16:57.520 shall they feign words, shall with feigned words, with phony words, flattery, 16:58.180 --> 17:05.200 and other such like, shall with feigned words make merchandise of you. 17:07.200 --> 17:09.640 Buying and selling the souls of men. 17:11.080 --> 17:14.160 Perfectly fulfilled in the Roman Catholic Church. 17:16.260 --> 17:19.720 Still people argue with me, oh, the Roman Catholic Church is a Christian 17:19.720 --> 17:20.480 church, Tom. 17:21.900 --> 17:25.140 The pope's a holy man, he preaches Jesus, doesn't he? 17:26.280 --> 17:29.260 Why do you criticize the Roman Catholic Church all the time? 17:30.420 --> 17:38.740 You might ask the same question of Dave Hunt and Thomas Harris and all the other 17:38.740 --> 17:42.620 authors that we've read on Inquisition Update over how many years now? 17:42.620 --> 17:43.140 Seven? 17:44.780 --> 17:46.520 They all said the same thing. 17:50.070 --> 17:56.310 You know, if it walks like a duck, it talks like a duck, and it poops like a 17:56.310 --> 17:57.550 duck, it's probably a duck. 17:58.550 --> 18:05.370 Well, the Roman Catholic Church is the synagogue of Satan, and the papacy is the 18:05.370 --> 18:07.850 biblical, historical, and prophetic Antichrist. 18:07.850 --> 18:13.850 And there's so much evidence to prove it that it would take, well, it's taken me 18:13.850 --> 18:17.230 over seven years just to read the books of proof. 18:18.190 --> 18:21.210 And I haven't even gotten a good start yet. 18:25.040 --> 18:26.420 Merchandise, indeed. 18:27.660 --> 18:34.540 No gold mine could compare with the merchandise and the gold that is created 18:34.540 --> 18:40.140 by the Roman Catholic Church through the sale of indulgences to spring one's soul 18:40.140 --> 18:41.100 from purgatory. 18:42.120 --> 18:50.920 In Roman Catholicism, one never passes from death unto life as Christ promised in 18:50.920 --> 18:58.860 John chapter 5 verse 24, but is always in the process of earning salvation with the 18:58.860 --> 19:05.160 Church's help, and with the expectancy of finishing the purging process in 19:05.160 --> 19:05.900 purgatory. 19:06.900 --> 19:12.840 In fact, excommunication is the penalty for a Roman Catholic to say he is saved, 19:13.460 --> 19:17.240 and knows that he has eternal life through faith in Christ's finished work. 19:17.580 --> 19:20.960 That's right, if you stand up in a Roman Catholic Church and declare yourself 19:20.960 --> 19:26.920 saved, blood bought by Jesus Christ, redeemed by the precious blood of the 19:26.920 --> 19:32.560 Lamb, and your home is already being built for you in heaven, you're ipso facto 19:32.560 --> 19:34.880 excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. 19:35.900 --> 19:40.740 Because you've sprung yourself free of the bondage of Rome, and you might lead 19:40.740 --> 19:42.440 everyone else out the door. 19:44.680 --> 19:48.420 So they just damn you, and kick you out of the Church. 19:50.120 --> 19:58.400 He says the very heart of the gospel that evangelicals affirm is denied by Roman 19:58.400 --> 20:05.220 Catholicism in its official catechisms, its official canon laws, its official 20:05.220 --> 20:07.700 decrees, and its official dogmas. 20:08.140 --> 20:14.500 And those who dare to affirm the biblical gospel are anathematized and damned, 20:14.960 --> 20:21.620 and as history records, are mercilessly tortured, even burned alive at the stake. 20:22.500 --> 20:25.480 And Rome calls that evangelism. 20:29.400 --> 20:34.880 Under the subtitle, Meriting Grace, Dave Haunt says, there's almost no limit 20:34.880 --> 20:42.080 to the ingenious means of grace, the ingenious means of grace which popes 20:42.080 --> 20:45.800 and their assistants have imaginably invented. 20:46.940 --> 20:52.880 One of the most popular ways to merit grace, a contradiction in and of itself, 20:52.880 --> 21:00.800 is through wearing the brown scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, to which we've 21:00.800 --> 21:01.920 already referred. 21:03.240 --> 21:09.260 The Sabatine, that is, the Saturday Privilege, they call it, is based on a 21:09.260 --> 21:15.280 Roman Catholic papal bull allegedly issued on March 3rd, 1322 by Pope John XXII, 21:15.280 --> 21:23.940 declaring that those who wear the scapular and fulfill two other conditions will be 21:23.940 --> 21:30.880 freed from purgatory by the Virgin Mary on the first Saturday after death. 21:31.420 --> 21:34.980 So where do I go to buy my scapular? 21:35.720 --> 21:36.320 Ka-ching! 21:36.620 --> 21:37.220 Ka-ching! 21:37.400 --> 21:38.980 You buy it from the Roman Catholic Church. 21:38.980 --> 21:44.920 And if you pay enough, you get your little two pieces of cloth tied together with a 21:44.920 --> 21:48.600 string to throw over your shoulder underneath your undershirt so nobody sees 21:48.600 --> 21:50.100 how ridiculous you are. 21:50.960 --> 21:55.760 You can send that scapular to the Pope and have it particularly blessed. 21:56.360 --> 21:59.660 And then it has the power of kryptonite against Satan, right? 22:00.720 --> 22:04.900 You throw this thing over your shoulder, you cover it all up so nobody can see it, 22:05.040 --> 22:09.100 and Mary's graces protect you day and night. 22:09.780 --> 22:12.100 That is, as long as you're wearing the scapular. 22:14.240 --> 22:15.640 Yeah, that's the ticket. 22:16.180 --> 22:21.140 Oh, and by the way, if you belong to this cult in the Roman Catholic Church that 22:21.140 --> 22:28.220 wears the scapular, it guarantees you that you will be sprung from purgatory the 22:28.220 --> 22:30.580 first Saturday after your death. 22:31.040 --> 22:37.840 So you want to make arrangements with God or whoever to make sure you die just 22:37.840 --> 22:40.000 before midnight Friday night. 22:41.500 --> 22:47.700 So that you're immediately, come midnight Saturday morning, you're sprung from 22:47.700 --> 22:48.220 purgatory. 22:49.320 --> 22:51.640 See if you can arrange that for me. 22:52.700 --> 22:57.980 Now in spite of the heresies and evil of Pope John XXII, which are legion, 22:59.460 --> 23:05.440 many other popes such as Antichrist Alexander V, Antichrist Clement VII, 23:05.720 --> 23:10.740 Antichrist Pope Pius V, Antichrist Gregory XIII, etc. 23:11.040 --> 23:11.480 etc. 23:11.740 --> 23:12.200 etc. 23:13.140 --> 23:20.360 have confirmed this Pope's teaching about the brown scapular, which in itself is so 23:20.360 --> 23:22.480 obviously contrary to Scripture. 23:24.020 --> 23:30.660 Pope Pius X declared, quote, I wear the cloth, let us never take it off, 23:31.000 --> 23:31.460 unquote. 23:32.180 --> 23:34.420 He was a poet, didn't know it, right? 23:34.960 --> 23:37.940 He was also Antichrist, and he knew that. 23:38.700 --> 23:42.120 He says, I wear the cloth, let us never take it off. 23:43.560 --> 23:47.680 I wonder if this is where we get the expression, a man of the cloth. 23:48.780 --> 23:50.980 Did anybody ever do any research on that? 23:51.300 --> 23:56.320 How did the expression, a man of the cloth, ever get coined in the world? 23:56.960 --> 24:01.720 One of my listeners that loves the program and loves me, I don't have very many 24:01.720 --> 24:07.780 lovers, but if you can do this research for me, I'd sure appreciate it. 24:07.940 --> 24:11.420 Where did the phrase, man of the cloth, come from? 24:12.740 --> 24:17.640 I suspect, I don't have any proof at all, but I suspect it may come if you wear the 24:17.640 --> 24:20.080 cloth of Mary, the scapular. 24:20.860 --> 24:22.840 You become a man of the cloth. 24:23.760 --> 24:24.680 Help me out, will you? 24:24.800 --> 24:26.340 You've got a little extra time today. 24:26.940 --> 24:32.100 Do a little hustle for me and see if you can find out the origins of the coined 24:32.100 --> 24:34.560 phrase, man of the cloth. 24:34.660 --> 24:35.940 I'd love to hear this one. 24:35.940 --> 24:38.240 We'll be back right after the message. 25:09.740 --> 25:13.720 You all want answers, and believe me, so do I, and I'll do my best to get them. 25:14.620 --> 25:16.980 Have you seen the Left Behind movies? 25:17.620 --> 25:20.860 Have you read the Left Behind fictional book series? 25:21.480 --> 25:24.760 Not everyone believes Left Behind is true prophecy. 25:25.280 --> 25:31.400 Some may even regard as conspiratorial the mainstream re-release of the Left Behind 25:31.400 --> 25:36.820 movie, with actor Nicolas Cage portraying the main character, as an attempt to 25:36.820 --> 25:42.240 further reinforce, in the minds of all, this perception of false prophecy, 25:42.700 --> 25:47.420 in order to condition the masses for the play about to begin. 25:47.820 --> 25:52.300 Because they see the world stage shaping to fulfill what they have been led to 25:52.300 --> 25:58.870 believe is sound biblical interpretation, a Left Behind rapture scenario, 25:59.430 --> 26:04.790 this false view of prophecy is reinforced in the mind, not only of its adherence, 26:05.330 --> 26:11.090 but also includes those who have been merely exposed to the specific media. 26:11.950 --> 26:15.010 Is it possible that false prophecy can be fulfilled? 26:15.470 --> 26:18.110 The rapture theories have always been in dispute. 26:18.590 --> 26:25.630 Pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib disputes have risen up, in exclusively evangelical 26:25.630 --> 26:27.970 circles of recent history. 26:28.310 --> 26:34.510 So that when true believers don't suddenly disappear, this element will easily go by 26:34.510 --> 26:39.890 the wayside, when all see a new Jewish temple begin to be built. 26:40.250 --> 26:44.770 Will this be part of the great delusion that will come upon the whole earth?

31:47.390 --> 31:48.290 Well, it's not. 31:49.330 --> 31:50.770 It's Rome's gospel. 31:51.890 --> 31:56.910 We've already noted the fatal contradiction that indulgences are 31:56.910 --> 31:59.790 designed to shorten suffering in purgatory. 32:00.290 --> 32:07.250 Yet that very suffering is supposed to be essential in order to be purged from 32:07.250 --> 32:08.590 entrance into heaven. 32:09.350 --> 32:11.390 It makes no sense. 32:11.390 --> 32:18.130 Moreover, one can only wonder how and why an indulgence obtained by means of adoring 32:18.130 --> 32:23.930 a crucifix or having a mass said is even more potent than Christ's actual death on 32:23.930 --> 32:29.210 the cross and how such representations of Calvary can accomplish what Christ's death 32:29.210 --> 32:29.930 could not. 32:31.950 --> 32:32.790 That's right. 32:32.850 --> 32:36.190 It wasn't enough for Jesus to die on the cross to shed his blood. 32:37.530 --> 32:40.230 The perfect Lamb of God was not sufficient. 32:41.390 --> 32:44.450 You've got to buy an indulgence from the Roman Catholic Church. 32:49.040 --> 32:56.700 See what you got when you sign the agreements of capitulation at Vatican 32:56.700 --> 32:58.640 Council II's ecumenism? 33:00.580 --> 33:04.400 You've united yourself with the whore of Revelation chapter 17. 33:04.660 --> 33:07.300 She's for sale to the highest bidder. 33:08.400 --> 33:12.660 And she'll sleep with anybody, even a heretic Protestant if he's got 33:12.660 --> 33:13.160 enough money. 33:14.980 --> 33:17.220 That's what Vatican Council II did. 33:18.660 --> 33:22.740 It polluted those who once called themselves Protestants. 33:23.880 --> 33:25.760 And God is furious. 33:27.460 --> 33:29.720 Again, it makes no sense. 33:30.620 --> 33:33.100 But the Catholic has been taught not to reason. 33:34.000 --> 33:35.300 Not to reason why. 33:35.420 --> 33:36.580 Not to ask questions. 33:37.120 --> 33:39.560 But simply to accept what the church says. 33:40.360 --> 33:43.840 Check your brain, your Bible, and your coat at the door. 33:44.000 --> 33:49.060 Come in and listen to your priest and just mindlessly do whatever he says. 33:50.700 --> 33:54.240 And you know, our once Protestant churches are the same way. 33:55.200 --> 33:57.860 Man, you don't even have to bring your Bible to the church. 33:58.180 --> 33:59.500 It's just dead weight. 34:00.640 --> 34:07.160 Just put on your best clothes, your shiniest shoes, all your bling bling. 34:07.160 --> 34:09.940 You can even wear your Masonic ring. 34:10.920 --> 34:11.980 Come to the church. 34:12.680 --> 34:16.520 The beautiful church that your money has paid for. 34:16.820 --> 34:18.780 Your hard earned money has paid for. 34:18.900 --> 34:24.320 The central air, the cushioned pews, the red carpet on the floor, the stained 34:24.320 --> 34:28.220 glass windows, and that beautiful steeple on top of the church. 34:29.420 --> 34:31.660 Wear your Sunday best. 34:32.520 --> 34:39.300 And if you don't have adequate clothing, please go to the best clothiers. 34:40.040 --> 34:44.740 Because we want all of our slaves to look real nice when they come to worship us. 34:46.140 --> 34:48.520 That's what God's house has become. 34:49.660 --> 34:50.480 A den of thieves. 34:50.480 --> 34:54.740 You know, Jesus, when he walked the streets of Jerusalem, saw what was going 34:54.740 --> 34:55.120 on. 34:55.880 --> 34:57.160 What the church was doing. 34:57.380 --> 34:59.040 Making merchandise of men. 35:00.660 --> 35:03.140 Selling indulgences in front of God's house. 35:03.860 --> 35:04.840 He made a whip. 35:05.120 --> 35:05.620 A scourge. 35:06.700 --> 35:07.640 And he whipped them. 35:08.940 --> 35:12.380 He said, you've turned my father's house into a den of thieves. 35:13.620 --> 35:14.400 Den of thieves. 35:17.060 --> 35:18.100 Ecumenical evangelicalism. 35:19.500 --> 35:22.700 And if you criticize it, you must be a heretic. 35:24.020 --> 35:25.400 You must be punished. 35:26.720 --> 35:31.320 You must be jammed and maliciously interfered with. 35:31.440 --> 35:39.240 You must be columniated and criticized by pious Christians thinking they're doing 35:39.240 --> 35:41.920 God's service by driving you off the air. 35:42.960 --> 35:45.040 That's what you get for telling the truth. 35:46.120 --> 35:47.620 Kicked from your house. 35:48.680 --> 35:51.280 Made a pariah in the community. 35:52.480 --> 35:56.140 Denounced as a radical religious fundamentalist. 35:57.340 --> 35:59.460 That's what you get when you tell the truth. 36:00.620 --> 36:01.760 Can you pay the price? 36:02.900 --> 36:06.220 Well, look, I don't pay this price to enter my way into heaven. 36:06.600 --> 36:07.940 To buy my way into heaven. 36:08.100 --> 36:09.720 I've already been sprung. 36:10.980 --> 36:12.620 My home is in the making. 36:13.860 --> 36:16.380 In my father's house are many mansions. 36:16.560 --> 36:18.400 If it were not so, I would have told you. 36:19.380 --> 36:23.340 I go to prepare a place for you that where I am there ye may be also. 36:24.480 --> 36:25.460 No charge. 36:26.340 --> 36:27.400 I've paid it all. 36:29.280 --> 36:37.600 So, if that's what I believe, and I do, I'll pay whatever price the bloodsuckers 36:37.600 --> 36:38.000 want. 36:38.640 --> 36:41.060 Because for me to die is gain. 36:42.900 --> 36:49.400 Vatican Council 2 has a large section containing 20 complex provisions, 36:50.480 --> 36:57.420 revising previous rules concerning when, how, and why an indulgence may be 36:57.420 --> 36:57.900 obtained. 36:59.000 --> 37:01.580 Yeah, Rome made a mistake. 37:02.120 --> 37:05.320 Rome had to rewrite the rules regarding indulgences. 37:06.680 --> 37:10.360 You know how this mistake was found, that was discovered? 37:11.060 --> 37:11.800 By the Protestant Reformation. 37:12.640 --> 37:17.100 You see, the Protestant Reformation started as a protest against indulgences, 37:17.280 --> 37:20.660 the buying and selling of salvation by the Roman Catholic Church. 37:21.940 --> 37:23.780 That's what started the whole thing. 37:25.020 --> 37:30.700 So, Rome had to revise her teaching on indulgences. 37:31.320 --> 37:38.860 One is reminded of Christ's denunciation of the rabbis in Matthew chapter 23 for 37:38.860 --> 37:44.400 devising a labyrinth of rules that kept the people dependent upon their spiritual 37:44.400 --> 37:45.020 guidance. 37:45.900 --> 37:48.080 Rome has done exactly the same thing. 37:49.060 --> 37:54.000 It would take a lawyer specializing in Roman Catholic canon law to unravel the 37:54.000 --> 38:02.100 intricacies of how and when to maximize the various offers of grace from the Roman 38:02.100 --> 38:02.940 Catholic Church. 38:03.880 --> 38:05.600 The following is illustrated. 38:06.180 --> 38:06.440 Listen. 38:06.860 --> 38:15.880 Quote, the faithful who use with devotion an object of piety, an object of piety, 38:16.340 --> 38:23.360 that's an image or an idol, strictly forbidden in God's holy law, the first 38:23.360 --> 38:28.860 commandment, the second commandment, it says the faithful who use with devotion 38:28.860 --> 38:36.180 an object of piety, whether it be a crucifix, a cross, a rosary, a scapular, 38:36.340 --> 38:43.120 or metal, after it has been duly blessed by any priest, can gain a partial 38:43.120 --> 38:43.600 indulgence. 38:44.440 --> 38:51.900 But if this object of piety is blessed by the pope or any bishop, the faithful who 38:51.900 --> 39:00.060 use it with devotion can also gain plenary, that is, full indulgence, 39:00.060 --> 39:06.680 on the feast of the apostles Peter and Paul, provided they also make a profession 39:06.680 --> 39:10.320 of faith using any approved formula. 39:11.280 --> 39:16.270 Quoting further, they say, quote, the way, that is, partial indulgences, 39:17.540 --> 39:24.180 the way have been determined hitherto by days and years, is abolished. 39:25.180 --> 39:29.160 Instead, a new standard for measuring them has been laid down. 39:30.060 --> 39:35.180 From now on, a partial indulgence will be indicated only with the words, 39:35.700 --> 39:41.300 quote, unquote, partial indulgence, without any determination of days, 39:42.040 --> 39:42.500 unquote. 39:43.040 --> 39:50.240 So for your money, you buy your scapular, you get your plenary, or you get your 39:50.240 --> 39:56.540 partial indulgence, but it doesn't tell you how partial it is. 39:56.540 --> 40:01.980 In other words, you don't know if it's a day, or an hour, or a month, or a year, 40:02.200 --> 40:06.680 or a century, or a millennium, that it buys you out of purgatory. 40:07.760 --> 40:11.740 It's like going to the store and saying, I'll give you ten bucks for a bag of 40:11.740 --> 40:15.640 beans, and they sell you a bag of beans, but you are not allowed to weigh it, 40:15.780 --> 40:18.600 you're not allowed to know how many beans are in the bag. 40:19.640 --> 40:20.840 Sound like a deal? 40:20.840 --> 40:26.040 Well, how would you like it to go to the store to buy a bag of beans, pay ten 40:26.040 --> 40:29.620 dollars for a bag of beans, you get home, there's a half a dozen beans in it. 40:30.520 --> 40:32.980 You just have to take the church's word. 40:33.660 --> 40:35.580 That's a full bag of beans. 40:37.480 --> 40:41.260 Rome won't even put a label on her packages telling you what you're getting 40:41.260 --> 40:42.180 for your money. 40:44.220 --> 40:46.220 Kind of like going to Las Vegas, right? 40:46.220 --> 40:50.700 Keep chinking your money in, maybe you'll win a prize. 40:51.300 --> 40:53.540 Ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching. 40:55.460 --> 41:02.560 Dave continues, If Rome was wrong in its rules concerning indulgences in the past, 41:02.920 --> 41:05.680 how can anyone be certain that she's correct now? 41:06.780 --> 41:09.740 And what of those who relied upon the previous rule? 41:10.460 --> 41:14.540 Of course, knocking off so many days or years in the past didn't really mean 41:14.540 --> 41:19.380 anything, because the Roman Catholic Church can never say in the first place 41:19.380 --> 41:22.440 how much time had to be spent in purgatory. 41:23.520 --> 41:28.580 Nor does an indulgence under the new rules have any understandable significance 41:28.580 --> 41:29.100 today. 41:29.580 --> 41:35.980 And what kind of God would bend his justice for such contrivances, 41:36.880 --> 41:42.600 measuring out grace, depending upon whether the deed was done on a certain 41:42.600 --> 41:50.040 feast day, or whether a priest or a bishop had blessed the supposed sacred object? 41:51.520 --> 41:53.660 They made merchandise of you. 41:54.840 --> 41:58.520 Why don't you come out of the Roman Catholic Church and meet Jesus, 41:58.620 --> 41:59.440 I'll introduce you. 42:00.920 --> 42:08.200 The major means of acquiring an indulgence of unknown benefit is, of course, 42:08.820 --> 42:09.740 through the Mass. 42:10.680 --> 42:19.360 Canon number 904 states, Remembering that the work of redemption is continually 42:19.360 --> 42:25.080 accomplished in the mystery of the Eucharistic sacrifice, that's the Mass, 42:25.980 --> 42:32.920 Priests are to celebrate frequently, that you don't know how much grace is 42:32.920 --> 42:39.100 infused in you when you eat the Jesus cookie, you better eat a whole bunch of 42:39.100 --> 42:39.360 them. 42:39.960 --> 42:43.160 And you've got to pay for those, they're not free. 42:44.880 --> 42:51.740 As we've already noted, instead of being a memorial to an accomplished redemption, 42:52.220 --> 42:59.920 praise his holy name, each Mass takes another tiny step toward full redemption. 43:01.260 --> 43:04.580 No one knows how tiny that step is. 43:05.140 --> 43:11.600 But it must be miniscule indeed, judging by the millions of Masses that 43:11.600 --> 43:17.080 continue to be celebrated in every Roman Catholic Church, every day, all around the 43:17.080 --> 43:20.200 world, with uncertain results. 43:22.820 --> 43:24.980 Look, Jesus paid it all. 43:26.820 --> 43:28.700 He owns the earth and everything that's in it. 43:29.900 --> 43:32.820 He created it, by himself. 43:34.580 --> 43:36.980 Why go to the Roman Catholic Church and gamble? 43:39.140 --> 43:42.540 Why not just become a child of the King? 43:43.400 --> 43:45.140 A child of the Creator? 43:47.560 --> 43:51.100 The decision seems to be so easy to make. 43:53.160 --> 43:59.980 Instead of accepting a full and unconditioned pardon by the one who paid 43:59.980 --> 44:07.480 it all, a sure thing, they go to Rome like they go to Las Vegas and keep plunking 44:07.480 --> 44:10.680 their coins in the money monster. 44:11.580 --> 44:17.040 And go home hoping that they bought something. 44:17.920 --> 44:18.760 Unbelievable. 44:20.300 --> 44:21.760 Salvation for sale. 44:22.620 --> 44:27.780 It was the sale of indulgences more than anything else that roused Martin Luther's 44:27.780 --> 44:33.860 ire to such an extent that he nailed his 95 feces to the door of the Wittenberg 44:33.860 --> 44:37.600 Castle Chapel and sparked the Protestant Reformation. 44:38.340 --> 44:50.020 As we've seen, salvation was sold in many other ways besides indulgences, 44:50.240 --> 44:51.400 and it still is today. 44:53.060 --> 44:56.060 Rome is still in the business of selling salvation. 44:57.060 --> 45:03.260 Though the fee is today called an offering, in fact, money changes hands 45:03.260 --> 45:08.740 with the promise of salvation as the incentive for the gift. 45:11.940 --> 45:15.180 Historian Will Durant comments are interesting. 45:15.380 --> 45:15.700 He says, 45:38.740 --> 45:44.440 Large sums were devoted to this purpose by pious people, either to relieve a departed 45:44.440 --> 45:50.180 relative or a friend, or to shorten or annul their own purgatorial probation 45:50.180 --> 45:51.020 after death. 45:51.940 --> 45:58.360 The poor complained that, through their inability to pay for masses and 45:58.360 --> 46:05.180 indulgences, it was the earthly rich, not the meek, who would inherit the 46:05.180 --> 46:05.900 kingdom of heaven. 46:05.900 --> 46:13.520 And Columbus ruefully praised money because he said, He who possesses it has 46:13.520 --> 46:17.600 the power of transporting souls into paradise. 46:21.720 --> 46:23.560 What fraud! 46:24.460 --> 46:26.940 As though God could be bought off with money. 46:27.800 --> 46:34.560 In Spain, the annual papal bull of the crusade had to be purchased by everyone of 46:34.560 --> 46:37.820 seven years and older at least once a year. 46:38.740 --> 46:44.980 No one could be buried without the current bull in the coffin with the body. 46:46.260 --> 46:50.200 You could call this a burial tax, if you want to, that you have to buy every 46:50.200 --> 46:50.560 year. 46:51.460 --> 46:56.720 And if you didn't have the current issue, the current certificate, the current bull 46:56.720 --> 46:58.640 from the pope, they couldn't bury you. 47:00.840 --> 47:06.560 It says, upon purchase of the bull, the pope immediately granted indulgences 47:06.560 --> 47:12.040 and absolution from all sins except heresy and the vow of chastity. 47:13.360 --> 47:18.100 A Roman Catholic observer in the 18th century Spain, with reference to this 47:18.100 --> 47:24.640 diabolical bull, made his damning comment, Let us say that we may suspect that this 47:24.640 --> 47:28.220 bull sends more people into hell than it can save from it. 47:28.940 --> 47:33.320 For it is the greatest encouragement to sin in the world. 47:34.200 --> 47:41.960 A man says, I may satisfy my lusts and passions, I may commit all wickedness, 47:42.300 --> 47:48.520 and yet I'm sure to be pardoned of all, by the taking of this bull for two reels 47:48.520 --> 47:49.240 of silver. 47:49.940 --> 47:54.860 By the same rule, their consciences cannot be under any remorse nor trouble. 47:54.860 --> 48:00.520 For if a man commits a great sin, he goes to confess, he gets absolution, 48:00.980 --> 48:08.320 he has by him this bull for permission to sin, and his conscience is at perfect 48:08.320 --> 48:15.460 ease, insomuch that after he gets absolution, he may go and commit new sins 48:15.460 --> 48:18.400 and go again for absolution. 48:20.780 --> 48:22.960 See what these indulgences do? 48:23.520 --> 48:24.560 They promote sin. 48:25.660 --> 48:26.680 They promote sin. 48:28.980 --> 48:30.920 And that's what Rome is all about. 48:32.140 --> 48:34.560 Because it's not the church of Jesus Christ. 48:35.320 --> 48:37.000 It's the church of Satan. 48:38.520 --> 48:44.300 Well-known Roman Catholic apologist Peter Kreef claims that, quote, the church soon 48:44.300 --> 48:49.460 cleaned up its act and forbade, shortly after Martin Luther's defection, 48:50.340 --> 48:52.820 forbade the sell of indulgences, unquote. 48:54.120 --> 49:00.440 Charles Coulson, Chuck Coulson as I call him, 33rd degree Luciferian Chuck Coulson, 49:00.780 --> 49:02.380 erroneously claims the same. 49:03.380 --> 49:05.460 Of course, that simply isn't true. 49:06.520 --> 49:12.620 But even if it were, one cannot dispense so easily with the gross deceit that 49:12.620 --> 49:18.660 milked the faithful of their money and robbed them of salvation at the same time. 49:20.100 --> 49:26.520 The sale of salvation had deceived millions for centuries by the time of the 49:26.520 --> 49:27.480 Protestant Reformation. 49:28.440 --> 49:35.160 Were there any refunds given by the Roman Catholic Church to those they built for 49:35.160 --> 49:36.020 indulgences? 49:37.300 --> 49:38.900 Of course not. 49:39.680 --> 49:45.700 Any remedy for those who had passed into eternity thinking they had bought their 49:45.700 --> 49:46.340 salvation? 49:47.340 --> 49:47.780 No. 49:48.940 --> 49:55.180 Tragically, the fraud continues to this very day, and there's nary a Protestant 49:55.180 --> 49:58.520 voice raised in opposition to it. 50:02.200 --> 50:07.380 Kreef, like other Roman Catholic apologists, omits the fact that the false 50:07.380 --> 50:13.560 and evil doctrine of indulgences remains an integral part of present Roman 50:13.560 --> 50:18.340 Catholicism, and that money is still given to secure salvation. 50:19.760 --> 50:25.760 As we have earlier noted, Vatican Council 2 declares, The Church commands that the 50:25.760 --> 50:32.940 usage of indulgences should be kept, and it condemns with damnation those who 50:32.940 --> 50:38.200 say that indulgences are useless, or that the Roman Catholic Church does not 50:38.200 --> 50:42.640 have the power to grant them for the task of winning salvation. 50:45.320 --> 50:49.680 It's no good to plead that the abominations of the past are no longer 50:49.680 --> 50:50.840 practiced by Rome. 50:50.840 --> 50:56.180 Of course they are, and quite openly, especially in Roman Catholic countries, 50:56.300 --> 51:00.500 though less so in the United States of America, where there might be a few 51:00.500 --> 51:02.540 Protestants that might protest. 51:04.340 --> 51:11.540 Yet even here, salvation, in baby steps towards heaven, of course, may be 51:11.540 --> 51:14.880 purchased by offerings to the Roman Catholic Church. 51:16.320 --> 51:20.920 One friendly of the author, whose father died recently in the United States, 51:21.020 --> 51:28.800 said that more than $2,000 was extended for Mass cards at his father's funeral, 51:29.580 --> 51:33.800 which would allow for a number of Masses to be said on his behalf to help get him 51:33.800 --> 51:34.620 out of purgatory. 51:36.360 --> 51:40.980 $2,000 at the funeral was collected by the Roman Catholic Church. 51:40.980 --> 51:45.860 $2,000 for Masses to be said on this man's behalf. 51:46.800 --> 51:50.100 To spring him from this imagined place called purgatory. 51:51.540 --> 51:54.180 You talk about extortion? 51:56.040 --> 51:57.540 It's robbery. 51:59.100 --> 52:02.040 And it denies Christ. 52:04.460 --> 52:07.820 Rome has given her people a gospel of despair. 52:08.760 --> 52:13.000 Multitudes of Roman Catholics live in dread of committing a mortal sin, 52:13.560 --> 52:18.920 of failing to reveal all in their confessions, of falling short of the rules 52:18.920 --> 52:23.320 and regulations of the Roman Catholic Church, which it has set for their 52:23.320 --> 52:23.940 salvation. 52:25.020 --> 52:28.980 As a consequence, they are completely at the mercy of their church. 52:29.920 --> 52:35.800 Looking to it, looking to it for salvation, rather than resting in the 52:35.800 --> 52:40.760 assurance of God's grace through Jesus Christ's finished work at Calvary. 52:41.480 --> 52:44.780 Roman Catholicism is another Christ, another gospel. 52:45.280 --> 52:51.040 We must condemn it and back away from Rome's ecumenical table. 52:51.940 --> 52:52.820 It's polluted. 52:56.070 --> 52:57.090 Thanks for listening. 52:57.230 --> 52:59.750 That's the end of the Inquisition Update for this week. 52:59.830 --> 53:02.710 We'll be back Monday for more truth. 53:05.910 --> 53:10.830 The program you are listening to is 100% sponsored by you, the listener, 53:11.050 --> 53:13.110 on this First Amendment rights media channel. 53:13.730 --> 53:17.130 You will notice that there are few commercials on this radio network. 53:17.810 --> 53:19.290 There's a good reason for that. 53:19.810 --> 53:24.250 Corporate advertising dollars come with strings that limit program content. 53:24.810 --> 53:29.310 So without your help, these programs cannot continue on satellite, internet, 53:29.570 --> 53:31.870 or our several affiliates. 53:31.870 --> 53:36.890 If you benefit by the educational law programs, we ask you to give. 53:37.370 --> 53:42.190 If you are admonished or nurtured by the Bible and ministry programs, we ask you to 53:42.190 --> 53:42.550 give. 53:43.030 --> 53:47.930 If some voice a cause that you are passionate about, we ask you to give. 53:48.430 --> 53:53.050 If you believe in any of these, we ask you to support them, as you would a 53:53.050 --> 53:55.010 missionary, on a continual basis. 53:55.590 --> 53:58.290 As if giving a tithe for missionary radio. 53:58.290 --> 54:03.870 These programs are not commercially viable and must be supported by those faithful to 54:03.870 --> 54:04.870 the cause of truth. 54:05.430 --> 54:09.410 Look for the button to sponsor your favorite programs at our listen and 54:09.410 --> 54:11.290 schedule pages on the internet. 54:11.870 --> 54:16.270 We will also give you unlimited archive access to all of our programs. 54:16.690 --> 54:21.710 We're asking you to give much less than a tithe, so that you may also send support 54:21.710 --> 54:27.530 directly to a particular program host, cause, and anywhere else the Spirit may 54:27.530 --> 54:28.070 lead you. 54:28.070 --> 54:34.370 Do all to the glory of our God and Creator, for His holy nation, the only 54:34.370 --> 54:36.570 kingdom that will last forever. 54:37.030 --> 54:38.550 Thank you for listening. 54:46.210 --> 54:51.990 Visit crosstheborder.org, C-R-O-S-S, crosstheborder.org, to get your print, 54:52.130 --> 54:57.330 e-pub, or PDF version of Nicholas Arthur's new book titled, When the Third Temple is 54:57.330 --> 54:59.630 Built, that's crosstheborder.org. 54:59.630 --> 55:03.690 When it comes to prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 55:03.690 --> 55:08.290 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the Third Temple will 55:08.290 --> 55:09.090 begin to be built. 55:09.570 --> 55:14.590 The plans are drawn, the Jewish people are eager, most Evangelical Christians today 55:14.590 --> 55:17.610 believe that the rapture will happen before the Third Temple is built. 55:18.070 --> 55:19.590 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 55:20.090 --> 55:22.790 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 55:23.370 --> 55:25.030 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 55:25.650 --> 55:28.650 Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true? 55:28.650 --> 55:32.970 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a Third 55:32.970 --> 55:33.850 Temple in Jerusalem? 55:34.570 --> 55:39.070 Is it necessary to build a Temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 55:39.070 --> 55:39.530 of the Rock? 55:40.190 --> 55:44.090 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the Temple on Temple Mount? 55:44.610 --> 55:47.910 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 55:48.710 --> 55:50.150 What is the New Testament Temple? 55:50.890 --> 55:53.110 Can we identify history and prophecy? 55:54.170 --> 55:56.890 Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13? 55:56.890 --> 56:00.150 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 56:00.910 --> 56:04.490 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 56:04.990 --> 56:09.330 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 56:09.330 --> 56:10.950 scripture to interpret scripture. 56:11.630 --> 56:15.050 The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private 56:15.050 --> 56:15.790 interpretation. 56:16.610 --> 56:19.490 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 56:19.650 --> 56:24.130 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 56:25.120 --> 56:34.250 Visit crosstheborder.org to get your print, EPUB or PDF version of Nicholas 56:34.250 --> 56:37.510 Arthur's new book titled, When the Third Temple is Built. 56:37.910 --> 56:39.550 That's crosstheborder.org.
