WEBVTT 00:10.070 --> 00:14.990 The generation of today has no clue about the truthful accounts of world history. 00:16.030 --> 00:20.670 And in the United Kingdom, school libraries are robbing their children of 00:20.670 --> 00:23.050 the vital facts of the past. 00:24.350 --> 00:31.070 Books like Moshim's Ecclesiastical History by John Lawrence Moshim are hard to trace. 00:32.010 --> 00:35.390 Rank's History of the Popes should be in people's private collection. 00:36.820 --> 00:42.030 Walter Walsh was a brilliant British historian who documented from authentic, 00:42.370 --> 00:45.410 credible sources when describing British history. 00:46.330 --> 00:51.630 Jean-Henri Merle d'Arbigny was a Swiss-French historian whose brilliant 00:51.630 --> 00:55.670 work on the Reformation should be in people's personal private collection also. 00:56.550 --> 01:02.670 James Aitken Wiley, the Scottish historian, is the best of the best and his 01:02.670 --> 01:04.510 works are an absolute treasure. 01:05.990 --> 01:10.470 If you do not have a background of European history, especially the works of 01:10.470 --> 01:15.150 these 19th century intellectuals, then you will never understand the 01:15.150 --> 01:17.030 mechanisms of the world today. 01:18.310 --> 01:23.710 An ex-Franciscan monk, Joseph McCabe, who became the papacy's fiercest critic, 01:24.190 --> 01:32.150 wrote a book in 1937 that was rewritten in 1951 titled The Papacy in Politics Today. 01:33.470 --> 01:38.790 And he gave a much more in-depth account than the weak historians we have today. 01:39.910 --> 01:46.690 He said that in the fateful year 1939, Cardinal Pachelli was elected Pope Pius 01:46.690 --> 01:47.070 XII. 01:47.610 --> 01:53.050 As a reward, Cardinal Hinze says, for his 10 years superb fight for peace. 01:54.330 --> 02:01.130 He had allied the Vatican with Germany, Italy, and Japan, helped Franco to seize 02:01.130 --> 02:06.790 Spain, and delivered the peoples of South America to the tender mercies of fascist 02:06.790 --> 02:09.590 colonels and generals of the Peron type. 02:10.490 --> 02:12.970 His moral authority was mortgaged. 02:13.650 --> 02:21.030 On the very day of his coronation, March 12th, Mussolini drove 69,000 Jews 02:21.030 --> 02:24.070 beggared and suffering from Italy. 02:24.670 --> 02:28.770 But the Pope was too busy to notice the outrage. 02:29.670 --> 02:32.190 His church, it is said, saved many Jews. 02:32.630 --> 02:35.070 Yes, rich converted Jews. 02:36.570 --> 02:41.850 The policy of the heads of the Roman church is stamped in red letters on the 02:41.850 --> 02:42.710 history of Europe. 02:42.970 --> 02:49.770 Unfortunately, no branch of public instruction in school, press, or 02:49.770 --> 02:57.110 literature in our time is so lamentably distorted by suppressions and untruths as 02:57.110 --> 03:01.450 are references to the part that the church has played in European history. 03:02.310 --> 03:08.770 The candor of the fine historians of the last century has disappeared with them. 03:09.590 --> 03:15.630 We now get histories of Europe which completely falsify the role of the church 03:15.630 --> 03:20.010 and our more important historians are silent. 03:20.990 --> 03:24.930 Does it matter if we leave the dead past to mould on its grave? 03:25.590 --> 03:30.650 It does, vitally, when the claims which are made for the value of the church today 03:30.650 --> 03:35.410 are based mainly upon the version of history. 03:36.250 --> 03:41.290 It matters still more from our present point of view, because now that people 03:41.290 --> 03:46.430 know nothing about the church's crimes against humanity in the past, they are 03:46.430 --> 03:53.290 less inclined than ever to consider critically its action in our modern world. 03:55.090 --> 04:01.370 What secular journalists, historians, heads of state, and politicians fail to 04:01.370 --> 04:08.890 say is that her diplomacy has also cost the lives of millions of souls all over 04:08.890 --> 04:09.750 the world. 04:11.190 --> 04:16.510 The late Eugenio Parcelli was a shrewd and ruthless bespectacled diplomat, 04:17.030 --> 04:19.470 a member of the Italian black nobility. 04:20.470 --> 04:26.470 He signed a concordat in 1914 with Serbia that provoked the conflict in the Balkans 04:26.470 --> 04:28.330 that led to the First World War. 04:32.650 --> 04:40.010 He later became Pope Pius XII. 04:41.330 --> 04:45.910 You will scarcely see a book written on the papacy's role in the two world wars, 04:46.350 --> 04:49.910 neither a video, DVD or documentary on TV. 04:50.750 --> 04:54.070 The secular world is just too scared. 04:55.350 --> 04:58.310 When you look at the heads of state, they are the ones who are most afraid of 04:58.310 --> 05:01.890 the Ante Pavelic, the Poglavnic, the head of Croatia. 05:03.310 --> 05:07.370 You can see him with the papal hierarchy, with the fascist salute. 05:08.610 --> 05:14.570 Benito Mussolini, the Il Duce, the head of fascist Italy, also with the 05:14.570 --> 05:17.610 papal hierarchy, doing the fascist salute. 05:19.090 --> 05:25.790 Francisco Franco, the Generalissimo, the head of fascist Spain, also with the 05:25.790 --> 05:28.510 papal hierarchy, doing the fascist salute. 05:29.770 --> 05:34.470 And Adolf Hitler, the Führer, the Austrian-born German dictator, 05:34.810 --> 05:38.830 with the papal hierarchy, with the fascist salute. 05:39.390 --> 05:43.510 This was the biggest attempt ever to take over the entire planet. 05:44.010 --> 05:50.730 But secular historians sidestepped and deliberately bypassed the role of Eugenio 05:50.730 --> 05:55.750 Parkeli and the papacy and their support for fascism. 05:56.810 --> 06:03.370 In the British newspaper, The Voice, it documents the high volume of black 06:03.370 --> 06:09.390 troops and black individuals who were mercilessly murdered by the Nazis during 06:09.390 --> 06:10.350 the Second World War. 06:11.370 --> 06:18.270 The French incorporated many men from its former colonies to occupy the Rhineland in 06:18.270 --> 06:20.650 Germany after the First World War. 06:21.590 --> 06:27.510 The Nazis put this propaganda poster out during the war to show the inferiority of 06:27.510 --> 06:32.150 France's army, Franck-Rietz-Schuld or France's responsibility. 06:33.450 --> 06:38.870 And a German engraver did coins that flamed racial hostility during the war 06:38.870 --> 06:41.870 when African soldiers occupied Germany. 06:43.230 --> 06:48.030 But who was the instigator behind that racial hostility? 06:49.530 --> 06:55.830 The English Catholic historian John Cornwell has attempted to backtrack what 06:55.830 --> 06:58.870 he has said about Parkeli, but it is too late. 06:59.750 --> 07:04.470 For in his book titled, Hitler's Pope, with access to the Vatican's secret 07:04.470 --> 07:10.710 archives, he documents that Eugenio Parkeli and the papal hierarchy were the 07:10.710 --> 07:16.990 biggest instigators of that lie that German women were being raped by black 07:16.990 --> 07:17.870 soldiers. 07:18.750 --> 07:26.470 He said that as early as April 1920, responding to a request of German bishops 07:26.470 --> 07:33.150 and lay petitioners, Parkeli had informed Gasparri that France's black troops were 07:33.150 --> 07:39.270 routinely raping German women and children in the Rhineland and that the influence of 07:39.270 --> 07:44.530 the Holy See should be employed to bring pressure on the French government to 07:44.530 --> 07:47.050 remove these soldiers forthwith. 07:48.410 --> 07:54.910 In a reply to Gasparri on January the 16th, the French ambassador to Holy See 07:54.910 --> 08:00.890 vigorously dismissed Parkeli's and Bertram's allegations, describing them as 08:00.890 --> 08:04.950 odious propaganda inspired by Berlin. 08:06.790 --> 08:12.210 During the pontificate of Joseph Ratzinger, aka Pope Benedict XVI, 08:13.110 --> 08:19.890 many questioned if he collaborated with the Nazis when a youth, but many, 08:20.110 --> 08:25.070 especially in the Jewish community, were angry when he endorsed a bishop who 08:25.070 --> 08:30.110 had Nazi sympathies, but people still just can't see. 08:32.350 --> 08:41.390 2014 and also 2013 has seen quite a number of World War II films, but historians are 08:41.390 --> 08:46.150 either ignorant of the papacy's role, or if they do get access to material, 08:46.570 --> 08:51.470 they won't use it for fear of not getting funding by high-profile studios. 08:53.350 --> 08:58.210 Kostra Gavras, the Greek-French filmmaker and the current president of the 08:58.210 --> 09:05.010 Cinémathèque François, made a film titled Amen, showing the papacy's role in the 09:05.010 --> 09:10.490 Second World War, for he is renowned for covering controversial political issues. 09:11.650 --> 09:18.010 Most people tiptoed around this issue, but this director braved it up to a point. 09:19.190 --> 09:23.590 The British newspaper, the Daily Mail, did an interesting review on the film that 09:23.590 --> 09:25.310 had some interesting points. 09:27.250 --> 09:33.510 The veteran director, Kostra Gavras, grapples with an issue that Hollywood has 09:33.510 --> 09:35.850 been weary to approach. 09:37.110 --> 09:44.210 Kostra Gavras never mentions Part 12's personal reputation for anti-Semitism or 09:44.210 --> 09:47.370 his dislike for black people. 09:49.910 --> 09:53.830 One of the main protagonists in the film is a young Jesuit priest. 09:55.050 --> 09:59.610 The Jesuits, the shock troops of Rome, have a clever way of covering their 09:59.610 --> 10:07.170 bloodthirsty history, not being detected for past global horrors, but not everyone 10:07.170 --> 10:08.250 is buying into it. 10:09.150 --> 10:15.770 In a book titled Unholy War, the Vatican's role in the rise of modern anti-Semitism, 10:16.890 --> 10:18.170 Jewish writer David I. 10:18.230 --> 10:24.570 Kurtzer said that Roberta Farni Carni, a member of the Fascist Grand Council, 10:25.170 --> 10:30.750 spoke on the church and the Jews at Milan's Institute for Fascist Culture. 10:32.070 --> 10:38.930 Farni recalled that the constitution of the Jesuit order forbade it from accepting 10:38.930 --> 10:45.190 as members anyone descended from the Jewish race up to the fifth generation and 10:45.190 --> 10:52.610 added the Aryan racism of the Jesuits is thus more severe than that of Germany 10:52.610 --> 10:53.130 itself. 10:54.370 --> 11:00.110 The fascist thus had in the Jesuits constant precursors and masters in the 11:00.110 --> 11:06.090 Jewish question and if we can be faulted for anything it is for not having applied 11:06.090 --> 11:10.630 all of their intransigence in our dealings with the Jews. 11:12.810 --> 11:18.330 The seeds of Catholic anti-Semitism in Austria that had been planted with the 11:18.330 --> 11:24.150 Vatican's help in the last two decades of the 19th century continued to bear fruit 11:24.150 --> 11:26.510 in the years following the First World War. 11:27.390 --> 11:33.570 A widely distributed lecture by a well-known Jesuit orator, Victor Kolb, 11:34.010 --> 11:39.070 reflects the tenor of Austrian Catholic attitudes toward the Jews as the war 11:39.070 --> 11:39.750 began. 11:40.990 --> 11:47.530 Kolb's speech was immediately translated into Italian and printed at the request of 11:47.530 --> 11:54.250 Father Wladimir Litochowski, the Polish priest soon to become head of the Jesuit 11:54.250 --> 11:55.910 order worldwide. 11:56.650 --> 12:01.930 He had copies of the speech distributed throughout the Vatican. 12:05.140 --> 12:10.980 The Polish priest Wladimir Litochowski, who became the superior general or head of 12:10.980 --> 12:16.880 the Jesuits, sometimes called the Black Pope, was the biggest instigator of 12:16.880 --> 12:20.600 fueling racial discontent in Vatican circles. 12:21.400 --> 12:27.260 He could definitely pass as Count Dracula, he just looks very dark. 12:28.540 --> 12:33.320 But he was a very good friend with another Pole, Klant Wladimir Zamoyski, 12:33.660 --> 12:37.740 a Polish nobleman who large tracts of land. 12:39.200 --> 12:44.640 Zamoyski was the guardian to another Pole, one of the most influential but least 12:44.640 --> 12:49.900 known figures of the 20th century, Joseph Hieronym Rettinger. 12:50.980 --> 12:56.620 Joseph Rettinger was a Catholic-Polish political advisor who advised the Polish 12:56.620 --> 13:00.640 government during the Second World War that included his close friend, 13:01.120 --> 13:04.960 the Prime Minister of Poland, General Wladyslaw Zikowski. 13:06.540 --> 13:12.000 It was his high contacts with high-ranking papal dignitaries that included Cardinal 13:12.000 --> 13:18.420 Cento, that Rettinger was able to get access into nearly every political circle 13:18.420 --> 13:22.560 that also included the President of the United States. 13:23.100 --> 13:28.740 He was the most influential figure that shaped the policy of post-war Europe that 13:28.740 --> 13:30.400 included the Council of Europe. 13:31.100 --> 13:36.320 But this Roman Catholic socialist, who almost became a priest, founded this 13:36.320 --> 13:39.160 group named after a hotel in Holland. 13:40.040 --> 13:46.240 In his eulogy in the Times of London, it's said that Joseph Rettinger was called 13:46.240 --> 13:50.280 the eminent Grise founded the Bilderberg Group. 13:52.040 --> 13:58.540 Whenever documentaries or books talk of the Bilderberg, Joseph Rettinger is barely 13:58.540 --> 13:59.160 mentioned. 14:00.280 --> 14:06.440 He seems to be airbrushed out of history, where his grave is plain and quiet in a 14:06.440 --> 14:08.560 cemetery in West London. 14:09.620 --> 14:14.820 But how did Joseph Rettinger describe his upbringing and his early connections to 14:14.820 --> 14:15.040 Rome? 14:16.020 --> 14:20.020 These are his own words in his own memoirs. 14:21.540 --> 14:28.780 In 1924, wrote Rettinger, I became imbued with the idea of the unity of Europe. 14:29.800 --> 14:35.980 My guardian after my father's death was Count Ladislau Zamoyski, the head of one 14:35.980 --> 14:38.280 of the richest and oldest Polish families. 14:39.520 --> 14:45.120 Zamoyski was brought up by his mother, one of Poland's great ladies, a pillar of 14:45.120 --> 14:48.020 Catholicism and of the patriotic tradition. 14:49.360 --> 14:54.400 Through Zamoyski, I met some of the most distinguished Catholic clergymen in 14:54.400 --> 15:00.060 France, of whom I remember best, Monsignor Borillard, at that time a rector 15:00.060 --> 15:05.860 of the Catholic University of Paris and later a cardinal, a round rosy-cheeked, 15:05.920 --> 15:11.600 smiling venerable prelate, an honest man, an eminent scholar and a famous historian. 15:12.420 --> 15:20.120 To a young man like myself, educated in a devout Catholic atmosphere, another person 15:20.120 --> 15:25.100 whom I got in touch with was the general of the Jesuits, Count Ledotrzewski, 15:25.580 --> 15:29.800 a Pole and a friend of my guardian, Count Zamoyski. 15:31.420 --> 15:36.060 Rettinger's personal biographer said that the approach to the Vatican was a more 15:36.060 --> 15:37.160 difficult proposition. 15:38.300 --> 15:41.780 Fortunately, Rettinger found that there was a man who could help. 15:42.380 --> 15:48.860 This was Dr. Luigi Gheda, an intimate friend of and medical advisor to Pope Pius 15:48.860 --> 15:55.680 XII and head powerful Asian Catholica, at that time the power behind ruling 15:55.680 --> 15:57.640 Christian Democratic Party. 15:59.120 --> 16:03.480 Rettinger did not know him but an introduction was easily arranged. 16:04.300 --> 16:08.500 They met, dined and established an immediate rapport. 16:09.600 --> 16:12.480 Gheda agreed to give Rettinger his full support. 16:13.080 --> 16:18.640 He agreed to talk to the Pope and prepare the ground for the Curia. 16:21.340 --> 16:26.840 Dr. Luigi Gheda, in the centre, the medical advisor to Pope Pius XII, 16:27.020 --> 16:31.720 who stands in white on the right, was Rettinger's link to the Vatican. 16:33.200 --> 16:37.560 And though Rettinger may not have got their full support, he was still 16:37.560 --> 16:42.980 fulfilling the papacy's agenda by attempting to integrate the continent of 16:42.980 --> 16:44.140 Europe. 17:16.330 --> 17:19.930 A week ago, Saturday, he excommunicated the mafia. 17:22.630 --> 17:23.830 Praise God. 17:23.990 --> 17:27.390 Now they've been talking about this for a couple of hundred years and this man just 17:27.390 --> 17:28.610 stepped up and did it. 17:29.770 --> 17:30.910 Praise God. 17:32.050 --> 17:38.110 What Kenneth Copeland and Pope Francis I fail to tell us is that men like Charles 17:38.110 --> 17:44.190 Lucky Luciano, the Sicilian-born American crime mobster, responsible for the early 17:44.190 --> 17:49.450 flow of heroin and heroin addicts in the United States, and Sam Giancana, 17:49.910 --> 17:54.530 one of the famous mafia crime bosses, was, as his family confirms in his 17:54.530 --> 17:59.030 biography titled Double Cross, like all mafia families from its 17:59.030 --> 18:05.830 inception, connected to the Vatican, where he did business with Michel Sindona, 18:06.310 --> 18:10.830 the Jesuit-educated Italian economic wizard and financial advisor to the 18:10.830 --> 18:18.090 Vatican, who was himself financed by the enormous profits of the film series that 18:18.090 --> 18:22.650 glamorized the Vatican Mafia alliance. 18:23.530 --> 18:25.770 The Godfather part three. 18:27.310 --> 18:30.690 The ultimate story of family. 18:31.090 --> 18:32.050 Don Corleone. 18:33.430 --> 18:37.090 The Corleone family partners with the Pope. 18:38.530 --> 18:39.950 They may cry blasphemy. 18:41.750 --> 18:43.050 This is business. 18:48.090 --> 18:53.990 The papacy has sympathy from heads of state all over Europe, where successive 18:53.990 --> 19:00.250 Italian leaders such as Romano Prodi recognizes papal supremacy when he met the 19:00.250 --> 19:02.970 late Pope John Paul II with his family. 19:04.310 --> 19:10.070 Silvia Berlusconi, the media tycoon and three-times Prime Minister of Italy, 19:10.510 --> 19:14.210 met Pope Benedict XVI and recognizes papal supremacy. 19:15.390 --> 19:22.090 Bilderberg Italian economist Mario Monti met Pope Francis I and recognizes papal 19:22.090 --> 19:24.350 supremacy before he left office. 19:25.210 --> 19:30.810 Giorgio Napolitano, the longest-serving president in the history of the Italian 19:30.810 --> 19:33.430 Republic, recognizes papal supremacy. 19:34.510 --> 19:40.150 Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, knows she needs the Catholic vote in her 19:40.150 --> 19:40.570 homeland. 19:41.130 --> 19:43.470 She also recognizes papal supremacy. 19:44.690 --> 19:50.550 But what does the papacy, the richest organization on earth, gain from 19:50.550 --> 19:54.090 maintaining political ties with Italy and Germany? 19:55.470 --> 19:59.830 David Yallop is considered as one of the best investigative journalists in the 19:59.830 --> 20:00.070 world. 20:01.070 --> 20:06.810 He wrote a book titled The Power and the Glory and you can get a picture why people 20:06.810 --> 20:11.990 are sometimes very hostile to the churches, especially the papacy. 20:13.170 --> 20:19.050 For the year 2000, the Roman Catholic Church in Italy received 1,500 billion 20:19.050 --> 20:25.490 lire approximately 750 million dollars or nearly 500 million pounds. 20:26.550 --> 20:30.390 In the same year, the money that went to the German Roman Catholic Church from the 20:30.390 --> 20:38.370 German taxpayers' similar system was 9.1 billion deutschmarks or 4.5 billion 20:38.370 --> 20:41.790 dollars or 3 billion pounds. 20:43.470 --> 20:50.330 In Old Blighty, better known as the United Kingdom, secular Britain has no clue of 20:50.330 --> 20:50.990 its own history. 20:52.250 --> 20:58.010 It was Arrow Manhattan and his brilliant investigative research skills that opened 20:58.010 --> 21:02.110 the eyes of his mentor, English historian H.G. 21:02.310 --> 21:07.150 Wells, who, like Manhattan, worked for the British government during the Second World 21:07.150 --> 21:07.510 War. 21:08.590 --> 21:14.210 Wells said that the history of England since the Reformation could be written as 21:14.210 --> 21:19.990 a recurrent and generally combined attack on the Roman Catholic Church. 21:21.770 --> 21:28.590 Guy Fawkes was once renowned as the most famous Roman Catholic terrorist in English 21:28.590 --> 21:29.970 and world history. 21:31.030 --> 21:37.430 But thanks to the film V for Vendetta, he has now become the poster child for 21:37.430 --> 21:38.750 global revolution. 21:39.710 --> 21:40.430 How clever! 21:41.550 --> 21:47.230 You can even go into supermarkets in the UK and find his image displayed with 21:47.230 --> 21:48.450 fireworks. 21:49.790 --> 21:55.610 Though Adolf Hitler was a Roman Catholic, never excommunicated, and all the heads of 21:55.610 --> 22:01.570 fascist Europe also, the Vatican has blamed both Britain and the United States, 22:01.690 --> 22:08.310 protestant countries, for failing to stop the holocaust reversing the guilt. 22:09.010 --> 22:10.890 Will any historian challenge her? 22:11.830 --> 22:12.810 Of course not. 22:36.220 --> 22:39.960 The troubles in Ireland between the English and the Irish were horrific. 22:40.920 --> 22:45.380 But every now and then, an article will come out that shows that the Roman 22:45.380 --> 22:51.100 Catholic clergy were not only stirring the conflict, but instrumental in assisting 22:51.100 --> 22:54.180 the IRA in setting off bombs. 22:55.140 --> 22:56.200 Will she be challenged? 22:56.700 --> 22:57.900 Of course not. 22:58.920 --> 23:04.800 When Pope Benedict XVI came to Britain in September 2010, though the media 23:04.800 --> 23:10.880 downplayed it, for they protected his image, the British public were enraged. 23:11.480 --> 23:16.600 For in the midst of an economic crisis, when people were struggling to make ends 23:16.600 --> 23:22.040 meet, and foreign troops are on foreign soil in two wars, the British government 23:22.040 --> 23:27.960 paid for his trip, where his visit will last for four days and will cost up to £20 23:27.960 --> 23:34.420 million, of which £12 million will be paid by British taxpayers. 23:36.100 --> 23:41.400 The British Catholic newspaper even confirmed that British foreign aid money 23:41.400 --> 23:48.020 to help the poor around the world was used to finance Benedict XVI's trip. 23:49.320 --> 23:53.740 The first kingdom the papacy is just having a field day with these so-called 23:53.740 --> 23:54.780 secular governments. 23:55.760 --> 24:01.480 But let us now turn our attention to France, considered as the most secular 24:01.480 --> 24:03.780 state in Europe. 24:05.940 --> 24:11.140 When Francois Hollande, the president of France, visited Pope Francis I in the 24:11.140 --> 24:15.760 Vatican, the body language alone shows that there is a definite hostility, 24:16.400 --> 24:20.080 which is totally different from France's early days with the papacy. 24:21.340 --> 24:28.900 When the Frankish King Clovis was baptised in 508 AD, France became the first kingdom 24:29.140 --> 24:35.040 to convert and give allegiance to the papacy and the Pope of Rome, becoming its 24:35.040 --> 24:36.080 eldest child. 24:37.040 --> 24:41.340 But what made it turn on the papacy that led to that bloody revolution? 24:42.340 --> 24:45.320 Why did this child rebel from its mother? 24:46.180 --> 24:51.220 And what were the different religious, political and social mechanisms that led 24:51.220 --> 24:55.700 to a revolution that not only affected France, but the entire world? 24:56.620 --> 24:58.540 Well, we need to dig up the archives. 25:00.080 --> 25:06.040 From the 11th century AD, France burned out any trace of apostolic Christianity, 25:06.700 --> 25:08.740 so there was no trace of it. 25:09.540 --> 25:11.680 But then she took it to a whole new level. 25:12.880 --> 25:18.520 When the film The Kingdom of Heaven was released, the Vatican and her secular 25:18.520 --> 25:23.980 slaves condemned it, calling it a marketing tool for Al-Qaeda and the late 25:23.980 --> 25:24.940 Osama Bin Laden. 25:25.960 --> 25:29.560 Though you can't expect pinpoint historical accuracy from the 25:29.560 --> 25:34.600 sensationalism of Hollywood, it basically saw that the Crusades was a merciless 25:34.600 --> 25:35.260 bloodbath. 25:36.600 --> 25:40.220 But what European nations stayed its course from start to finish? 25:41.740 --> 25:47.180 This Jesuit priest with a panel of Catholic apologists attempt to defend the 25:47.180 --> 25:51.580 Crusades but give an insight into what nation led the assault. 25:52.600 --> 25:55.480 The reason that they're there is a devotional reason. 25:56.020 --> 25:59.400 They're there because they want to do something that is good because they are 25:59.400 --> 26:02.320 themselves intently sinful people. 26:02.680 --> 26:08.540 They know how much they're sinful and they know that they need a great deal of 26:08.540 --> 26:10.020 penance to pay for those sins. 26:10.220 --> 26:12.260 These are professional warriors. 26:12.500 --> 26:16.820 They live their life by the sword and they know they have a hard row to hoe to get 26:16.820 --> 26:17.320 into heaven. 26:17.960 --> 26:19.440 That's what's leading them. 26:19.580 --> 26:23.740 And the only person to issue a call to at that time was the Pope. 26:23.920 --> 26:29.720 So he appealed to Western Europe and the Pope, Pope Urban II, it was the Franks 26:29.720 --> 26:31.720 mainly who went on this crusade. 26:32.380 --> 26:40.500 And again, so folks understand the Franks are the barbarian tribe that invaded Gaul. 26:41.140 --> 26:44.360 Well, they were a barbarian before they became Christian. 26:44.500 --> 26:45.600 Like everybody else. 26:45.760 --> 26:46.360 Yes, indeed. 26:47.240 --> 26:53.360 They were all barbarians, you know, and the Franks were a particular tribe of 26:53.360 --> 26:58.300 barbarians that prospered and did well, became France, but that they were the 26:58.300 --> 26:58.580 bulk. 26:58.940 --> 27:02.080 I think it's important to realize, too, that they were actually volunteers. 27:02.300 --> 27:04.320 They weren't being paid to go on a crusade. 27:04.740 --> 27:07.420 They were doing it because of their love of Christianity. 27:08.600 --> 27:13.840 This image is of the French Pope Urban II, rallying up the papal dignitaries into 27:13.840 --> 27:19.000 that geopolitical bloodbath that still has left an unhealed wound in the Orient, 27:19.420 --> 27:20.000 the Middle East. 27:21.580 --> 27:26.300 Philip Schaff was a Swiss born German educated Protestant theologian who taught 27:26.300 --> 27:30.400 in the United States and left a volume of well-researched works. 27:31.280 --> 27:36.620 In his history of the Christian church, volume five, we get a verification of that 27:36.620 --> 27:37.940 papal panel discussion. 27:38.700 --> 27:42.960 He said that the crusaders sought the living among the dead. 27:44.100 --> 27:48.280 They mistook the visible for the invisible, confused the terrestrial and 27:48.280 --> 27:51.920 the celestial Jerusalem and returned disillusioned. 27:52.780 --> 27:58.640 They learned in Jerusalem, or after ages have learned through them, that Christ is 27:58.640 --> 28:04.900 not there, that he is risen and ascended into heaven where he sits at the head of a 28:04.900 --> 28:06.400 spiritual kingdom. 28:07.720 --> 28:10.340 The crusade failed in three respects. 28:11.060 --> 28:13.020 The Holy Land was not won. 28:14.040 --> 28:16.680 The advance of Islam was not permanently checked. 28:17.480 --> 28:20.260 The schism between the East and the West was not healed. 28:21.180 --> 28:24.400 These were the primary objects of the crusades. 28:26.000 --> 28:28.980 The crusades began and ended in France. 28:29.640 --> 28:34.760 The French element was the ruling factor from Urban II who was a native of 28:34.760 --> 28:39.280 Châtillon near Reims and Peter of Émiens to Saint-Louis. 28:40.020 --> 28:44.060 The contemporary counts of the crusades were for the most part written by 28:44.060 --> 28:44.780 Frenchmen. 28:45.740 --> 28:50.160 Goubert of Nugent and other chronicles regard them as especially the work of 28:50.160 --> 28:50.960 their countrymen. 28:51.820 --> 28:58.260 The French expression Autremer was used for the goal of the crusades. 28:59.920 --> 29:04.760 Though the whole of Western Europe fought in the crusades, the driving force was 29:04.760 --> 29:05.360 France. 29:05.900 --> 29:09.700 But it wasn't just the Arab world that was to feel the wrath of the papacy. 29:10.580 --> 29:15.260 Those in Europe, especially in France, were also going to be a target. 29:16.540 --> 29:21.560 What would happen if the public and not just academics only were to get access to 29:21.560 --> 29:25.580 the ever so secretive Vatican archives and the Vatican library? 29:26.080 --> 29:30.480 The modern world would see history in a completely different light. 29:32.480 --> 29:32.720 H. 29:32.820 --> 29:32.980 G. 29:33.060 --> 29:38.840 Wells, unlike modern-day papal apologists who defend the papacy, said that the 29:38.840 --> 29:43.100 crusades were the direct work of the church. 29:44.540 --> 29:49.900 His young protege, Avro Manhattan, knew that Christians that practiced 29:49.900 --> 29:53.280 primitive apostolic Christianity were a target. 29:54.320 --> 30:00.140 He said that in the Dark and Middle Ages, whoever dared to think independently of 30:00.140 --> 30:05.680 Catholicism was mercilessly silenced by Catholic sword and fire. 30:06.410 --> 30:08.000 But that didn't stop people. 30:09.520 --> 30:13.520 John Fox was a 16th century English chronicler and historian. 30:14.180 --> 30:21.180 He collated extracts from 223 authentic documents that comprised of decrees, 30:21.800 --> 30:26.960 decretals, extravagance, pontificals, papal bulls, private manuscripts, 30:27.500 --> 30:33.080 episcopal registers, and state documents, to compile Acts and Monuments, 30:33.560 --> 30:39.860 better known as Fox's Book of Martyrs, and he documented one of France's early 30:39.860 --> 30:40.740 reforms. 30:42.340 --> 30:46.020 Peter Waldo was a native of Lyons in France. 30:46.960 --> 30:52.620 He was a very rich merchant who sold all of his riches and wealth for the spreading 30:52.620 --> 30:54.900 of the and for producing Bibles. 30:55.960 --> 31:00.640 This scholar who labelled the Pope the Antichrist, when challenged by the Bishop 31:00.640 --> 31:06.540 of Lyons, said he ought to obey God rather than men, and he had to eventually flee 31:06.540 --> 31:12.100 for his life and dwelt among an already existing community called the Waldenses. 31:13.960 --> 31:17.740 These Christians worshipped in Southern France in a place called Albi, 31:18.220 --> 31:23.620 where they got their name, the Albigenses, but they also spread in the provinces of 31:23.620 --> 31:27.280 Dauphine, Provence, Languedoc, or Gascogne. 31:28.160 --> 31:32.920 Carcassonne was a well-fortified city with a beautiful landscape and snow-capped 31:32.920 --> 31:34.000 mountains in the background. 31:35.700 --> 31:41.740 It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered as the most fortified and 31:41.740 --> 31:45.180 well-preserved medieval city in Western Europe. 31:45.820 --> 31:52.620 But the Crusaders were to besiege it, cut off the water supply and take captive 31:52.620 --> 31:56.560 its inhabitants and eventually fabricate their history. 31:57.440 --> 32:02.860 But one man was to rescue their history from oblivion and give them their rightful 32:02.860 --> 32:03.280 place. 32:04.580 --> 32:09.380 This is the gravestone of the best European historian who brilliantly 32:09.380 --> 32:15.560 chronicled history from the Caesars to the 19th century with such precise detail. 32:17.080 --> 32:22.440 James Aitkenwiley had such a brilliant mind and was able to analyse history with 32:22.440 --> 32:24.820 a moral and deeply intelligent mind. 32:26.020 --> 32:29.620 In his History of Protestantism, published in the 19th century, 32:30.360 --> 32:34.040 he gave a solid account of the Albigenses in France. 32:34.500 --> 32:35.540 This is a bit lengthy. 32:37.520 --> 32:43.420 The Albigenses and other sects springing up at her door were more dangerous foes of 32:43.420 --> 32:47.040 the papacy than the Saracens of the distant East. 32:48.220 --> 32:53.780 The France of those days, the 12th and 13th centuries, was parted into four grand 32:53.780 --> 32:54.340 divisions. 32:55.540 --> 33:00.220 It is the most southerly of the four, or nabongour, to which our attention is 33:00.220 --> 33:01.100 now to be turned. 33:02.520 --> 33:07.760 To the riches of the soil were added the wealth of commerce, further embellished by 33:07.760 --> 33:10.820 the numerous castles of a powerful nobility. 33:11.740 --> 33:17.700 The lively and poetic genius of the people had enabled them to form a language of 33:17.700 --> 33:19.980 their own, namely the Provencial. 33:21.060 --> 33:27.440 In richness of vocables, softness of cadence, and picturesqueness of ideon, 33:28.060 --> 33:33.000 the Provencial excelled all the languages of Europe and promised the universal 33:33.000 --> 33:34.340 tongue of Christendom. 33:35.540 --> 33:40.220 Best of all, a pure Christianity was developing in the region. 33:41.560 --> 33:46.180 Foremost among these was the translation of the New Testament into the Provencial, 33:46.840 --> 33:50.540 the earliest of all our modern-day versions of the Scriptures. 33:51.900 --> 33:55.780 The hour of a great revolt against Rome appeared to be near. 33:57.120 --> 34:01.840 Surrounded by the fostering influence of art, intelligence, and liberty, 34:02.640 --> 34:06.460 primitive Christianity was here powerfully developing itself. 34:07.680 --> 34:13.920 It seemed verily that the 13th and not the 16th century would be the date of the 34:13.920 --> 34:19.940 Reformation, and that its cradle would be placed not in Germany, but in the south of 34:19.940 --> 34:20.440 France. 34:22.100 --> 34:27.220 The penetrating and far-seeing eye of Innocent III saw all this very clearly. 34:28.080 --> 34:33.200 He issued an edict enjoining the extermination of all heretics. 34:34.360 --> 34:40.400 Cities would be drowned in blood, kings would be laid waste, art and 34:40.400 --> 34:45.940 civilization would perish, and the progress of the world would be rolled back 34:45.940 --> 34:46.900 for centuries. 34:47.700 --> 34:52.380 But not otherwise could the movement be arrested and Rome saved. 34:53.540 --> 34:59.080 In the exposition made by the Bishop of Tournai of the Errors of the Albigenses, 34:59.460 --> 35:05.400 says Sismondi, we find nearly all the principles on which Luther and Calvin 35:05.400 --> 35:09.180 found the Reformation of the 16th century. 35:10.560 --> 35:16.880 Lothario de Conti de Segni, better known as Pope Innocent III, the Prince of 35:16.880 --> 35:20.960 Darkness, was a true manifestation of Satan. 35:21.960 --> 35:27.460 Pompous, big-headed, a murderer from the beginning, for he that hated his brother 35:27.460 --> 35:33.840 is a murderer, who feared light and wanted to extinguish it at all costs if it posed 35:33.840 --> 35:36.220 a threat to his own glory. 35:37.320 --> 35:43.040 He appointed Dominic, the father of the Dominicans, the Black Friars, his alter 35:43.040 --> 35:48.840 ego, to spearhead the Inquisition, where the Albigenses were a prime target 35:48.840 --> 35:52.520 and the blood of the martyrs became the seed of the Church. 35:53.280 --> 35:58.340 They burned all of their literature, but also included the Holy Scriptures, 35:58.820 --> 36:04.240 a threat to papal authority, so there would be no trace or record of their 36:04.240 --> 36:04.580 history. 36:06.140 --> 36:11.160 Dominic also had the Albigenses burned, so there was no trace of them either. 36:12.020 --> 36:16.360 Did Jesus instruct the disciples to massacre those who differed in belief from 36:16.360 --> 36:16.540 them? 36:17.440 --> 36:18.500 What is the justification? 36:19.860 --> 36:23.480 Weak historians will say, well, that was the mood of the times. 36:24.080 --> 36:29.420 From the death of Christ till this very day, there is absolutely no excuse of 36:29.420 --> 36:31.200 Christians massacring anyone. 36:31.860 --> 36:35.860 It is totally contrary to the life of Jesus and the Gospels. 36:36.980 --> 36:42.200 Here are the remains of the castle that was assaulted in those crusades in 36:42.200 --> 36:42.920 Southern France. 36:43.560 --> 36:44.380 It is in ruins. 36:45.520 --> 36:50.740 This is what is left of the legacy of that race of people who were trying to restore 36:50.740 --> 36:52.180 the apostolic faith. 36:53.180 --> 36:58.600 But secular historians sympathise with the bloodbaths of Rome. 37:00.000 --> 37:04.880 John Fox, an eminent scholar and chronicler, documented in his works that 37:04.880 --> 37:10.040 secular historians label as anti-Catholic propaganda, the legacy of this people 37:10.040 --> 37:12.680 whose history is lost in time. 37:13.600 --> 37:20.380 He said that the Albigenses were a people of the reformed religion who inhabited the 37:20.380 --> 37:21.300 country of Alba. 37:21.740 --> 37:27.220 They were condemned on account of religion in the Counts of Alastron by order of Pope 37:27.220 --> 37:33.500 Alexander III, but they increased so rapidly that many cities were inhabited 37:33.500 --> 37:39.280 exclusively by persons of their persuasions, and several eminent noblemen 37:39.280 --> 37:41.420 embraced their doctrines. 37:42.160 --> 37:47.740 In the 1911 edition of the Roman Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 1, the papacy 37:47.740 --> 37:52.620 discredits the legacy of this God-fearing people in Southern France. 37:54.280 --> 37:59.640 Albigenses, from albi, Latin albica, the present capital of the department of 37:59.640 --> 38:06.360 Tara, a neo-manichean sect that flourished in Southern France in the 12th and 13th 38:06.360 --> 38:06.820 centuries. 38:07.780 --> 38:12.820 They were also called Catharists, though in reality they were only a branch 38:12.820 --> 38:14.840 of the Catharist movement. 38:15.700 --> 38:17.480 What a complete lie! 38:18.220 --> 38:22.100 Those were false accusations made by the papacy, the Albigenses' enemies. 38:22.660 --> 38:28.940 But just look how the papacy can manipulate history and win people over to 38:28.940 --> 38:33.560 cover a multitude of sins that includes its genocidal bloodbaths. 38:34.380 --> 38:40.400 In the most exhaustive study and research book on secret societies, titled Occult 38:40.400 --> 38:46.980 Theocracy, published in 1930, the author Edith Starr Miller, also known as Lady 38:46.980 --> 38:52.140 Queensborough, though a Christian, she embraced not the reformers John Foxe's 38:52.140 --> 38:57.400 account of the Albigenses, but the false account of the Catholic Church. 38:58.800 --> 39:05.460 She said, as to the Albigenses, their name derived from Albi, a term of 39:05.460 --> 39:13.160 Languedoc, covered not one but many sects issued from Manichaeism and Arianism, 39:13.540 --> 39:18.080 and counted also many Jews or Judaized Christians. 39:19.100 --> 39:24.020 Under the appellation of Albigenses, historians, that is false ones, 39:24.020 --> 39:30.440 whether political or religious, have almost unanimously included Cathars. 39:31.340 --> 39:34.200 This is so false and unfair. 39:35.080 --> 39:40.700 But it should give you a picture of how the papacy can murder, massacre, 39:41.240 --> 39:46.920 and annihilate men, women, and children, distort their history, and have weak 39:46.920 --> 39:48.660 historians sympathize with her. 39:49.500 --> 39:55.500 Let us quote one more source, the 1973 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, 39:55.700 --> 39:56.240 Volume 1. 39:57.060 --> 40:04.280 It reads, Albigenses, the name derived from the city of Albi of, and listen to 40:04.280 --> 40:11.060 the language, heretical sect in southern France in the 12th and 13th centuries, 40:11.500 --> 40:15.880 against which a crusade was launched in 1209. 40:17.320 --> 40:23.960 Though the papacy crushed this apostolic revival, a couple of centuries later, 40:24.360 --> 40:28.300 another one was to emerge in the 16th century. 40:29.340 --> 40:33.980 France, unbeknownst to many, had one of the greatest impacts on the Reformation, 40:34.640 --> 40:36.380 through one of its finest intellects. 40:37.080 --> 40:41.700 The history of the Huguenots, the name given to French Protestants, are recorded 40:41.700 --> 40:42.740 in these books. 40:43.700 --> 40:48.840 This monument, known as the Reformation Wall, or the International Monument to the 40:48.840 --> 40:54.980 Reformation, in Geneva, Switzerland, has in the centre John Calvin and his 40:54.980 --> 40:58.300 protégé, Theodore Bizet, two Frenchmen. 40:59.200 --> 41:04.560 It was constructed in the grounds of the University of Geneva, which was founded by 41:04.560 --> 41:05.560 John Calvin. 41:06.840 --> 41:12.340 John Calvin was the most influential of all the Reformers, and the most 41:12.340 --> 41:17.720 successful, having more influence in the English-speaking world than in his native 41:17.720 --> 41:18.420 France. 41:19.160 --> 41:24.000 His theology, based upon a thorough knowledge of the scriptures, a fast-saved 41:24.000 --> 41:28.160 Lord, was biblical rather than ritualistic or scholastic. 41:29.620 --> 41:35.640 When the Puritans left Plymouth in England in 1620 to travel to the New World, 41:36.160 --> 41:40.720 they were all Calvinists in their thinking, their theology, and their 41:40.720 --> 41:42.300 strict, straight-cut living. 41:43.260 --> 41:49.100 And, unbeknownst to the citizens of the United States, its moral fibre is based on 41:49.100 --> 41:50.640 Calvinistic theology. 41:52.300 --> 41:56.220 The Scottish Reformer, John Knox, known as the Thundering Scott, 41:56.700 --> 42:01.520 who is also on the Reformation Wall, was also a Calvinist in his strict 42:01.520 --> 42:02.100 theology. 42:03.360 --> 42:08.380 In England, though William Tyndale's Bible was the fulcrum on which balanced the 42:08.380 --> 42:13.920 entire English Reformation, as two authors put it, Oliver Cromwell, the Lord 42:13.920 --> 42:19.620 Protector, who briefly made England a Commonwealth Republic, was a staunch 42:19.620 --> 42:20.740 Calvinist. 42:21.640 --> 42:28.480 John Milton, Cromwell's Secretary of State and famous poet, was also a Calvinist. 42:29.440 --> 42:36.020 And in Bunhin Fields, in the City of London, is a grave of another 17th century 42:36.020 --> 42:42.700 Englishman who was temporarily jailed for his faith, John Bunyan, the author of the 42:42.700 --> 42:46.760 famous Pilgrim's Progress, another Calvinist. 42:47.960 --> 42:50.720 This is how vast his influence was. 42:51.500 --> 42:56.720 And Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, the Huguenots in 42:56.720 --> 43:00.440 France, and the Dutch and German Reformed are all Calvinistic. 43:01.520 --> 43:05.740 As a Reformer, he didn't purge out all of papal teachings. 43:06.460 --> 43:11.700 He reintroduced the Augustinian teachings of predestination, once saved, 43:12.100 --> 43:17.120 always saved, a dogma that has no scriptural support, though many think that 43:17.120 --> 43:17.520 it does. 43:18.600 --> 43:24.820 And Michael Servetus, the Spanish theologian, was arrested in Geneva and 43:24.820 --> 43:30.920 burnt at the stake for his differing views as a result of Calvin's no-nonsense 43:30.920 --> 43:31.520 attitude. 43:32.160 --> 43:38.180 John Calvin had a protege in Geneva who, like Calvin, left France and at the age of 43:38.180 --> 43:44.100 40 in 1559, Theodore Beezer became the first rector of the University of Geneva 43:44.100 --> 43:47.360 in Switzerland which had been founded by Calvin. 43:48.440 --> 43:52.200 When one of the three committees were translating the King James Version of the 43:52.200 --> 43:57.340 Bible, they were using the codexes of Theodore Beezer that he donated to 43:57.340 --> 43:59.920 Cambridge University in 1581. 44:01.240 --> 44:06.380 Calvin's influence was spreading like a wildfire throughout Europe, whose 44:06.380 --> 44:09.080 educational institutions were spreading rapidly. 44:10.320 --> 44:18.380 But in France, another movement was rising that was designed to crush all the 44:18.380 --> 44:21.540 influence of the Protestant Reformation. 44:23.200 --> 44:29.420 In the University of Paris, also known as La Sabaune, a Spanish nobleman and former 44:29.420 --> 44:36.140 soldier was gathering together a number of men to form a new order to save the papacy 44:36.140 --> 44:38.000 of being a past relic. 44:38.880 --> 44:46.140 This Spanish Basque name was Don Inigo López de Recald, who was born at the 44:46.140 --> 44:48.220 castle of Loyola in Spain. 44:49.180 --> 44:52.660 He is better known as Ignatius de Loyola. 44:53.440 --> 45:00.260 And this monk soldier in 1534, at the age of 40, was to gather in one of 45:00.260 --> 45:06.240 the oldest churches in France a group of men who called themselves the Society of 45:06.240 --> 45:06.800 Jesus. 45:07.860 --> 45:12.460 The men in black were labelled as the Jesuits by their Protestant enemies, 45:13.000 --> 45:17.460 either in Germany or in France, but the name which had stigma at first 45:17.460 --> 45:20.680 stuck, and they wore it as a badge of honour. 45:22.140 --> 45:28.060 Ignatius presented his credentials to Pope Paul III in 1540, and they were only meant 45:28.060 --> 45:33.780 to exist for a temporary basis, but they were so successful that they and 45:33.780 --> 45:39.940 were titled the Militai Regimini, the Militant Regiment of the Church, 45:40.560 --> 45:42.660 the Shock Troops of Rome. 45:43.480 --> 45:48.480 They took over the Inquisition, and though they produced a number of 45:48.480 --> 45:52.620 intellectuals and academic institutions, what they couldn't cope with 45:52.620 --> 45:54.760 intelligently, they destroyed. 45:56.060 --> 46:00.600 Why doesn't the generation of today know anything about them or European history? 46:01.520 --> 46:05.600 The Jesuits have learned to cover their tracks by carefully going into libraries 46:05.600 --> 46:10.780 and second-hand bookshops and destroying works that would enlighten anyone of their 46:10.780 --> 46:11.340 operations. 46:12.220 --> 46:15.080 But I believe that in the end, the truth will conquer. 46:15.880 --> 46:19.520 And before we go into France, let us briefly look at Asia. 46:20.860 --> 46:26.860 The Jesuits spread all over Asia, especially into Japan, where they 46:26.860 --> 46:31.700 infiltrated themselves into the Samurai culture and formed an alliance with one of 46:31.700 --> 46:35.280 Japan's dictators, the Shogun Oda Nobunaga. 46:36.480 --> 46:41.040 Many of these Jesuits were welcomed into the courts, for they were gifted and 46:41.040 --> 46:46.220 skilled at the sciences, but that was a wedge to control the culture in Asia. 46:47.160 --> 46:51.780 But many Japanese leaders caught wind of the Jesuit agenda, and they knew it was 46:51.780 --> 46:57.180 not to the gospel of Jesus Christ, but it was an agenda of Papal-led Western 46:57.180 --> 47:03.300 imperialism, and many of the Jesuits were massacred in record numbers by the Samurai 47:03.300 --> 47:04.800 culture of Japan. 47:06.140 --> 47:08.920 Today, the Jesuits call these men martyrs. 47:09.400 --> 47:14.760 But secular writer Avra Manhattan, unlike most secular sympathetic Papal 47:14.760 --> 47:20.200 apologists, knew exactly why the Japanese beheaded and expelled the islands, 47:21.500 --> 47:25.400 and he gave the true historical account of what really took place. 47:26.640 --> 47:33.640 Manhattan said the Jesuits were determined to plant the spiritual and cultural power 47:33.640 --> 47:35.520 of the church in Southeast Asia. 47:36.400 --> 47:41.360 They attempted with varied success to influence the cultural and political top 47:41.360 --> 47:42.720 echelons of society. 47:43.680 --> 47:48.280 These missionaries found a powerful protector in Nobunaga, the military 47:48.280 --> 47:49.920 dictator of Japan. 47:51.120 --> 47:56.200 Japanese civil rulers began to realize that the Catholic church was not only a 47:56.200 --> 48:01.540 religion, but a political power intimately connected with the imperialist expansion 48:01.540 --> 48:06.920 of Catholic countries like Portugal, Spain, and other Western nations. 48:07.920 --> 48:13.520 Whenever Japanese Catholics formed a majority, the Buddhists and members of 48:13.520 --> 48:15.460 other local faiths suffered. 48:16.240 --> 48:20.900 Not only were they boycotted, but their temples were closed and, when not 48:20.900 --> 48:24.440 destroyed, were seized and converted into churches. 48:25.800 --> 48:32.540 In 1587, Hideyoshi visited Kyushu and, to his astonishment, found that the 48:32.540 --> 48:37.520 Catholic community had carried out the most appalling religious persecution. 48:38.720 --> 48:43.360 Everywhere he saw the ruins of Buddhist temples and broken Buddhist idols. 48:44.320 --> 48:49.500 The Catholics, in fact, had forcibly attempted to make the whole island of 48:49.500 --> 48:52.380 Kyushu totally Catholic. 48:53.720 --> 48:59.080 But the Italian Catholic director, Martin Scorsese, has been working on a 48:59.080 --> 49:05.700 project for 10 years, a film called Silence, that portrays the Jesuits as 49:05.700 --> 49:06.760 martyrs in Japan. 49:07.240 --> 49:16.280 Due for release in November 2015, it will star Liam Neeson and Spider-Man, 49:16.760 --> 49:21.860 Andrew Garfield, who, as the English Catholic press confirms, is studying 49:21.860 --> 49:25.800 Jesuit books to prepare him for the leading role in this film. 49:27.460 --> 49:31.220 This isn't the first time Hollywood has glorified the Jesuits. 49:31.800 --> 49:38.280 In the 1986 film The Mission, the Jesuits are portrayed as peace-loving 49:38.280 --> 49:39.600 missionaries. 50:05.260 --> 50:08.480 With an orchestra, the Jesuits could have subdued the whole continent. 50:10.240 --> 50:15.140 So it was that the Indians of the Guarani were brought finally to account to the 50:15.140 --> 50:20.780 everlasting mercy of God and to the short-lived mercy of man. 50:21.920 --> 50:26.700 Let us now go back to France so we can get a clearer picture of what led to the 50:26.700 --> 50:31.400 build-up of that provoked 18th century revolution in France. 50:33.140 --> 50:38.280 Edmond Paris was a French historical philosopher, born in Paris into a Roman 50:38.280 --> 50:42.240 Catholic family, who studied at the University of Paris, the Sabon, 50:42.820 --> 50:47.700 but he observed history and current events with a balanced eye and dug deeper than 50:47.700 --> 50:49.000 other intellectuals. 50:50.900 --> 50:56.380 King Henry III of France, known for his large gold earrings, was a moderate who 50:56.380 --> 51:01.300 avoided any wars at all costs, who was sympathetic to the Protestant 51:01.300 --> 51:02.500 Huguenots in France. 51:03.080 --> 51:08.560 He was murdered by a Jesuit assassin, a young Dominican monk, Jacques Clement, 51:09.000 --> 51:13.940 because of his alliance with cousin Henry of Navarre, the leader of the Huguenots. 51:15.240 --> 51:20.740 Henry Navarre, who later became King Henry IV of France, was baptized a Catholic but 51:20.740 --> 51:21.780 raised a Protestant. 51:22.680 --> 51:27.000 He was very sympathetic to the Protestants having religious liberty in France. 51:27.600 --> 51:34.120 And this plaque shows the Edict of Nantes of 1598, which was a decree that gave 51:34.120 --> 51:38.520 liberty to the Protestants in France and allowed them worship freely. 51:39.700 --> 51:43.960 The Jesuits were not impressed with Henry's leniency towards the Protestants 51:44.430 --> 51:50.200 and after two failed assassination attempts, a Jesuit assassin, François 51:50.200 --> 51:56.920 Rabelac, who Wikipedia cleverly calls a Catholic fanatic, committed regicide and 51:56.920 --> 51:57.400 killed him. 51:58.360 --> 52:04.620 Edmund Parrish records that he confessed that he had been inspired by the writings 52:04.620 --> 52:13.020 of two Spanish Jesuits, Francisco Suarez on the left and Juan de Mariana on the 52:13.020 --> 52:19.160 right, who both taught that the murder of heretic tyrants was justified if they 52:19.160 --> 52:21.840 conflicted with papal interests. 52:40.850 --> 52:48.390 In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Church, I declare you husband and 52:48.390 --> 52:48.590 wife. 53:05.600 --> 53:10.960 Queen Margot was a film that was released that records one of the worst of the worst 53:10.960 --> 53:15.980 crimes against humanity that took place just prior to the assassination of the two 53:15.980 --> 53:17.960 French monarchs previously mentioned. 53:19.000 --> 53:26.700 The August 22nd, 1572 Saint Bartholomew's Massacre, a Catholic-led bloodbath that 53:26.700 --> 53:31.660 was not just led by the monarchy but by the highest dignitaries in the Vatican. 53:33.580 --> 53:38.280 Gaspar de Colony was one of the highest French noblemen in the land and he was a 53:38.280 --> 53:38.700 Huguenot. 53:39.440 --> 53:44.080 With his brothers, these men held a powerful sway in that French culture. 53:45.400 --> 53:50.480 But Gaspar de Colony was one of the victims where they forcefully entered into 53:50.480 --> 53:53.480 his house and brutally murdered him. 53:55.020 --> 53:59.800 Sir Francis Walsingham, the father of modern-day secret intelligence and the 53:59.800 --> 54:03.660 English ambassador to Paris before he was the Secretary of State under Queen 54:03.660 --> 54:09.120 Elizabeth I, was an eyewitness to the massacre, viewing it from his 54:09.120 --> 54:10.700 ambassadorial apartment. 54:12.560 --> 54:15.700 But who was the mastermind of this massacre? 54:16.780 --> 54:22.760 In a book that has been endorsed by the Jesuits, titled The Power and Secret of 54:22.760 --> 54:27.540 the Jesuits by René Fuller-Miller, we get a clear picture. 54:29.960 --> 54:34.460 Catherine de' Medici, who governed in the name of the new king, a minor, 54:34.980 --> 54:38.880 might well have vacillated between the Huguenot and Catholic parties. 54:39.500 --> 54:45.920 But an earnest and forceful discourse by the Jesuit general, Leynes, at the 54:45.920 --> 54:51.480 ecclesiastical colloquy at Hoisy, so far influenced the Queen Regent as to 54:51.480 --> 54:56.080 cause her to lean more and more towards the Catholics. 54:57.000 --> 55:02.480 Make no concessions to heresy, Leynes had declared, addressing himself to 55:02.480 --> 55:03.300 the Queen Regent. 55:03.860 --> 55:08.560 But rather uphold the Catholic faith with all your authority. 55:09.380 --> 55:15.100 Then will God, mindful of your piety, preserve to you your earthly kingdom and 55:15.100 --> 55:17.560 admit you to the kingdom of heaven. 55:18.980 --> 55:24.280 If, however, on the other hand you are unmindful of your duty towards God, 55:24.720 --> 55:30.780 then tremble less, together with the heavenly kingdom, you lose also your 55:30.780 --> 55:31.600 earthly kingdom. 55:33.040 --> 55:39.620 This painting shows Catherine de' Medici with dead French Protestant Huguenots at 55:39.620 --> 55:44.120 the Saint Bartholomew's Massacre, which shows she gave in to the spiritual 55:44.120 --> 55:47.660 abuse of the Jesuit General, Leynes. 55:49.000 --> 55:53.720 Historians delete the Black Pope's Diego Leynes' role in the Saint Bartholomew's 55:53.720 --> 56:01.480 Massacre, and the White Pope, Gregory XIII, struck a medal in commemoration of 56:01.480 --> 56:05.280 that Roman Catholic bloodbath in France. 56:07.280 --> 56:12.340 Cardinal Leclerc, a French nobleman, was ambitious and knew that the only 56:12.340 --> 56:17.320 hindrance to control France were the Huguenots. 56:17.800 --> 56:26.360 So, he led the siege of La Rochelle from 1625 to 1628 that destroyed a whole 56:26.360 --> 56:30.680 Protestant city that was on equal footing with Paris. 56:32.160 --> 56:39.320 King Louis XIV, the Sun King, led the last and final assault against the Huguenots in 56:39.320 --> 56:39.740 France. 56:41.120 --> 56:47.200 On the advice of his Jesuit confessor, Friar Lachaise, to ethnically cleanse the 56:47.200 --> 56:53.200 Huguenots, he intimidated them by using the dragonnades to enforce them to be 56:53.200 --> 56:58.060 Catholics, face persecution or flee. 56:59.940 --> 57:07.200 Louis XIV struck medals in commemoration of this bloodbath and many Huguenots fled 57:07.200 --> 57:13.220 for their life throughout Europe and even into the United States of America. 57:15.120 --> 57:19.100 With the greatest traders and industrialists expelled from the country 57:20.120 --> 57:24.620 and with poor peasants and an absolute power invested into the monarchy, 57:25.980 --> 57:32.740 the groundwork was now ripe for that bloody revolution in France. 57:36.200 --> 57:42.320 France, the oldest child of the Papacy who dominated the Crusades and ethnically 57:42.320 --> 57:47.200 cleansed the Albigenses and the Calvinistic Huguenots, was to turn on its 57:47.200 --> 57:51.080 mother, the First Kingdom, what goes around comes around. 57:51.920 --> 57:56.580 At the beginning of the study, it was shown that the Papacy was 57:56.580 --> 57:58.880 prophetically called the Great City. 57:59.700 --> 58:06.380 This region of Western Europe is called the Ten Horns or Kingdoms in Daniel 7, 58:06.560 --> 58:13.160 verses 7 and 20 and Revelation 13, verse 1 and 17, verse 3. 58:14.940 --> 58:20.900 Sir Isaac Newton, whose exhaustive studies on the mysteries of life that not only 58:20.900 --> 58:26.300 included science but also included Bible prophecy, verifies this. 58:28.080 --> 58:32.980 I have now enumerated the ten kingdoms into which the Western Empire became 58:32.980 --> 58:37.520 divided at its first breaking, that is, at the time of Rome's besiege and 58:37.520 --> 58:39.140 taken by the Goths. 58:39.860 --> 58:45.400 Some of these kingdoms at length fell and new ones arose, but whatever was their 58:45.400 --> 58:50.860 number afterwards, they are still called the Ten Kings from their first number. 58:52.600 --> 58:57.600 One of these ten kingdoms was going to revolt and the French Revolution is 58:57.600 --> 59:02.020 prophesied in the 11th chapter of the book of Revelation. 59:02.520 --> 59:08.400 And we shall just touch on a portion of it and see that over a hundred years leading 59:08.400 --> 59:14.160 up to the revolution, godly men who drank heavily from the fountain of the Holy 59:14.160 --> 59:17.580 Scriptures foresaw the revolt in northern Europe. 59:18.720 --> 59:25.700 Revelation chapter 11 and verse 13 says At the same hour was there a great 59:25.700 --> 59:33.260 earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of 59:33.260 --> 59:39.820 men seven thousand, and the remnant were frightened and gave glory to the God of 59:39.820 --> 59:40.120 heaven. 59:41.600 --> 59:45.720 The language of the King James Bible can be sometimes quite difficult for the 59:45.720 --> 59:51.620 modern mind to take in, but in a summary, the tenth part of the city or one of the 59:51.620 --> 59:57.120 ten kingdoms was to revolt against the papacy, that great city where thousands 59:57.120 --> 59:59.180 were to be slain or slaughtered. 59:59.900 --> 01:00:06.640 In the works of Thomas Goodwin, this Bible scholar who lived from 1600 to 01:00:06.640 --> 01:00:12.360 1680 AD foresaw that this was talking about a revolution in France. 01:00:13.200 --> 01:00:15.720 What he records is fascinating. 01:00:17.940 --> 01:00:23.960 By the earthquake here, which is said to be a great one, is meant as still in the 01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:30.100 book it is, a great concussion or shaking of states, politic or ecclesiastical, 01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:33.080 for of either or both it is used. 01:00:33.980 --> 01:00:39.620 The effect of this earthquake and fall of this tenth part of the city is the killing 01:00:39.620 --> 01:00:43.940 seven thousand of the names of men, so it is in the original. 01:00:45.120 --> 01:00:50.880 Now, which of these ten kingdoms or of the ten states in Europe and what tenth part 01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:53.140 thereof shall first have this great privilege? 01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:58.440 One of these ten European kingdoms that have given up their power under the beast 01:00:58.440 --> 01:01:06.100 shall now in this slaughter begin to fall from and cease to be a part of the city or 01:01:06.100 --> 01:01:09.200 to belong to the jurisdiction of Rome any longer. 01:01:10.300 --> 01:01:18.440 The saints and churches belonging unto the kingdom of France, God hath made a wonder 01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:25.400 unto me, have ever since had as great a share in persecutions greater than any 01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:27.140 other churches. 01:01:27.940 --> 01:01:28.760 Very interesting. 01:01:30.720 --> 01:01:35.640 Robert Fleming Jr. was a Scottish Presbyterian minister who lived from 01:01:35.640 --> 01:01:38.860 around 1660 to 1716. 01:01:39.540 --> 01:01:45.840 He also did a lecture in 1701 forewarning of the revolution in France from studying 01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:47.260 Bible prophecy. 01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:53.460 Among the French Huguenots, they were not just industrialists and traders, 01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:56.560 but they were also students of Bible prophecy. 01:01:57.820 --> 01:02:03.480 And Pierre Giraud, a French Huguenot protestant, also knew from reading 01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:09.480 Revelation chapter 11 that a revolution was to strike his native France. 01:02:10.540 --> 01:02:16.080 He said, Now what is this tenth part of the city which shall fall? 01:02:16.740 --> 01:02:21.740 In my opinion, we cannot doubt that it is France. 01:02:22.500 --> 01:02:28.420 This kingdom is the most considerable part or piece of the ten horns or states which 01:02:28.420 --> 01:02:31.960 once made up the great Babylonian city. 01:02:33.900 --> 01:02:38.200 Bishop Thomas Newton was an English cleric, the Bishop of Bristol, 01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:42.300 who lived from 1704 to 1782. 01:02:43.240 --> 01:02:48.780 He was a deep Bible scholar and he also identified though he saw it in the past 01:02:49.560 --> 01:02:50.480 and not the future. 01:02:52.120 --> 01:02:57.020 The great earthquake and the falling of the tenth part of the city and the slaying 01:02:57.020 --> 01:03:02.180 of thousands of men according to this hypothesis must be referred to the great 01:03:02.180 --> 01:03:08.080 commotions and civil wars which for several years afterwards cruelly disturbed 01:03:08.080 --> 01:03:12.500 and almost destroyed the Kingdom of France. 01:03:14.560 --> 01:03:18.660 After the revolution, in a brilliant scholarly work called The Approaching End 01:03:18.660 --> 01:03:24.840 of the Age, which teaches how to study Bible prophecy, Dr. Henry Grant Guinness, 01:03:25.260 --> 01:03:31.160 an Irish-born protestant missionary and evangelist who lived from 1835 to 1910, 01:03:31.800 --> 01:03:34.580 details what led up to the revolution. 01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:42.260 France had taken rank as the first of papal nations ever since the conversion of 01:03:42.260 --> 01:03:45.600 Clovis and the donations of Pepin and Charlemagne. 01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:50.660 France had taken a leading place in opposition to the glorious reformation. 01:03:51.660 --> 01:03:57.560 By the iron heel of power, she had crushed down the new life and had extinguished the 01:03:57.560 --> 01:04:00.180 rekindled gospel light of the glad era. 01:04:01.460 --> 01:04:06.940 In the massacre of St. Bartholomew, she had all but extirpated protestantism, 01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:12.080 and by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, she had banished from her shores 01:04:12.080 --> 01:04:14.500 her surviving Huguenot subjects. 01:04:15.620 --> 01:04:21.660 France was for more than a thousand years a main pillar of the popedom in France. 01:04:22.720 --> 01:04:26.600 The middle of the 18th century saw the beginning of a marvellous change in 01:04:26.600 --> 01:04:27.080 France. 01:04:28.200 --> 01:04:32.760 It is regarded by historians as the era of the French Revolution. 01:04:34.240 --> 01:04:39.580 In less than a century from 1750, this first of papal nations had become 01:04:39.580 --> 01:04:45.660 madly and violently anti-papal, and this most survivingly superstitious 01:04:45.660 --> 01:04:50.160 people had become openly and even fiercely infidel. 01:04:51.700 --> 01:04:58.160 France ceased to be Catholic and became infidel, and infidel France, having thrown 01:04:58.160 --> 01:05:03.060 off all restraints of law and order, natural and divine, plunged before the end 01:05:03.060 --> 01:05:08.340 of the century into the maddest excesses of revolution and crime. 01:05:11.580 --> 01:05:15.700 The beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit that attacked the two 01:05:15.700 --> 01:05:20.860 witnesses in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom for its 01:05:20.860 --> 01:05:26.540 sexual depravity, and Egypt, a state that totally rejected God, was the prophetic 01:05:26.540 --> 01:05:31.800 description of the state of France during the revolution where they also adopted a 01:05:31.800 --> 01:05:39.480 10-day calendar like Egypt, and paraded in France the woman of reason, that was an 01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:45.820 outward rejection of God and his word, that French Freemasons eventually gave as 01:05:45.820 --> 01:05:52.280 a gift to the United States the Statue of Liberty, as many of the founding fathers 01:05:52.280 --> 01:05:54.960 were very francophone in their thinking. 01:05:56.360 --> 01:05:58.160 Let us pause for a second. 01:05:59.820 --> 01:06:04.160 Men in Western Europe, who drank heavily from the fountain of the Holy Scriptures 01:06:04.160 --> 01:06:10.500 and were guided by the spirit of prophecy, foresaw that an ungodly, anarchistic 01:06:10.500 --> 01:06:14.460 revolution was to sweep through the country of France. 01:06:15.220 --> 01:06:20.420 This is no Nostradamus speculation, but Jesus Christ foretelling his people 01:06:20.420 --> 01:06:22.160 what is to come upon the earth. 01:06:23.260 --> 01:06:28.240 Many Christians, which may be surprising to many, and unbelievers, have said, 01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:34.620 if God is all-powerful and all-knowing and can see into the future, why does he allow 01:06:34.620 --> 01:06:36.880 all these horrible things to happen on the earth? 01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:42.100 But the question you have to ask yourself, if you have been forewarned of what is to 01:06:42.100 --> 01:06:42.880 come, e.g. 01:06:43.020 --> 01:06:47.400 the rise and fall of the two kingdoms and their eventual destruction at the second 01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:50.580 coming of Christ, then what is your excuse to be lost? 01:06:51.200 --> 01:06:51.800 There is none. 01:06:52.620 --> 01:06:54.980 No excuse for you and no excuse for me. 01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:57.700 Don't let no one deceive you into believing. 01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:00.500 We can stop Judgment Day from happening. 01:07:00.860 --> 01:07:07.000 For the remaining prophecies still stand, and the secret things belong unto the Lord 01:07:07.000 --> 01:07:14.280 our God, but those things which are revealed, prophecy, belong unto us and to 01:07:14.280 --> 01:07:19.820 our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. 01:07:21.200 --> 01:07:25.500 Let us now go back to France and the influence of this revolution. 01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:34.900 Napoleon Bonaparte, though a Corsican, rode on the wind of the French Revolution, 01:07:36.080 --> 01:07:42.580 and unbeknownst to himself was fulfilling Bible prophecy, striking a deadly wound to 01:07:42.580 --> 01:07:43.100 the papacy. 01:07:44.200 --> 01:07:49.300 One of his top men, Chief of Staff, or Major General Louis-Alexandre Berthier, 01:07:50.100 --> 01:07:56.660 marched into Rome, arrested the Pope, and stripped him of his fishman's ring and 01:07:56.660 --> 01:08:02.440 his temporal power, and what goes around comes around, or what the prophetic 01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:04.560 description of the papacy's humility is. 01:08:05.540 --> 01:08:09.720 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity. 01:08:10.540 --> 01:08:13.780 He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. 01:08:14.580 --> 01:08:17.620 Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 01:08:19.080 --> 01:08:27.220 Pope Pius VI died in captivity in 1799, to prophetic precision, and guess where? 01:08:28.280 --> 01:08:34.100 In France, the oldest and the most faithful child of the papacy. 01:08:35.720 --> 01:08:41.000 What impact did that revolution have on surrounding states and the rest of the 01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:41.280 world? 01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:43.400 James A. 01:08:43.420 --> 01:08:46.780 King Wiley knew that the spirit of the revolution did not die out at all, 01:08:47.200 --> 01:08:52.760 and that it was rekindled, but he gives the reason why, in his essay-turned-book, 01:08:53.460 --> 01:08:56.440 The Papacy, published in 1852. 01:08:58.780 --> 01:09:03.080 The papacy at this moment is fighting its third great battle. 01:09:03.980 --> 01:09:08.900 Its third great war is that which is now waging with an atheistic communism, 01:09:09.400 --> 01:09:14.660 which has risen contemporaneously, and with extraordinary intensity and 01:09:14.660 --> 01:09:19.240 power, and in all the Catholic countries of Europe. 01:09:20.120 --> 01:09:23.380 Whence has come this new and destructive principle? 01:09:24.520 --> 01:09:29.100 It is the natural issue of the bondage in which the human mind has so long been 01:09:29.100 --> 01:09:36.580 retained, of the violence done to reason and faith, for superstition is the parent 01:09:36.580 --> 01:09:37.740 of atheism. 01:09:38.900 --> 01:09:43.360 The national mind in France long struggled to find vent through means of 01:09:43.360 --> 01:09:44.000 Christianity. 01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:46.640 This was denied it. 01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:53.360 It next sought liberty in scepticism, which speedily terminated in atheism. 01:09:54.260 --> 01:09:57.540 With French infidelity came French democracy. 01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:03.880 The democratic element entered the world with Christianity, and revived again in 01:10:03.880 --> 01:10:06.220 the reformation of John Calvin. 01:10:07.280 --> 01:10:11.780 There is this difference, however, that whereas the doctrine of Calvin would 01:10:11.780 --> 01:10:16.780 have given true liberty, constitutional government, to Europe, the doctrine of 01:10:16.780 --> 01:10:21.400 Voltaire gave it an anarchy which baptised itself in blood. 01:10:23.220 --> 01:10:27.880 Scepticism, engendered thus from superstition, has overspread Europe, 01:10:28.120 --> 01:10:34.520 and set free the masses from all divine control, and by necessary consequence, 01:10:35.040 --> 01:10:36.960 from all earthly authority. 01:10:37.880 --> 01:10:43.980 The brood of revolutions which now torment Europe is the progeny of Rome. 01:10:46.210 --> 01:10:50.460 The popular vengeance was directed full against the priesthood in the first French 01:10:50.460 --> 01:10:55.720 revolution, because the priesthood had been thoroughly identified with the 01:10:55.720 --> 01:10:56.060 government. 01:10:57.520 --> 01:11:02.980 The late revolution has produced a reaction among the upper classes in favour 01:11:02.980 --> 01:11:04.120 of the church. 01:11:05.060 --> 01:11:10.780 The French revolution, after Napoleon had extinguished it in blood, as all men 01:11:10.780 --> 01:11:16.160 believed, has returned from its tomb, refreshed by its sleep of half a century, 01:11:16.820 --> 01:11:21.420 to do battle with the dynasties and hierarchies of Europe. 01:11:23.400 --> 01:11:28.880 The revolution swept through the continent of Europe, but it was the philosophies of 01:11:28.880 --> 01:11:34.440 the beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit, which will impact Western 01:11:34.440 --> 01:11:35.960 culture till this day. 01:11:37.760 --> 01:11:42.580 Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the 18th century Swiss-French Enlightenment philosopher's 01:11:42.580 --> 01:11:48.060 writings, are considered as the most influential of the 18th century in 01:11:48.060 --> 01:11:51.160 political and social theory and literature. 01:11:52.100 --> 01:11:56.980 He taught the natural goodness of man and rejected the concept of sin. 01:11:58.280 --> 01:12:03.540 These ideas were to influence German rationalism, where Friedrich Nietzsche, 01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:08.960 the German philosopher who eventually had a nervous breakdown, took Rousseau's views 01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:12.900 to a whole new level with his The Death of God philosophy. 01:12:13.820 --> 01:12:19.440 He became the father of existentialism that would develop into the ideology of 01:12:19.440 --> 01:12:26.000 post-modernism, which teaches that each person is free to decide their own truth 01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:27.420 and their own morality. 01:12:27.800 --> 01:12:30.020 If it feels good, it's right. 01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:38.780 François-Marie Ariot, better known as Voltaire, was a contemporary of Rousseau, 01:12:39.240 --> 01:12:44.360 an 18th century French Enlightenment writer who is considered as the spiritual 01:12:44.360 --> 01:12:46.920 godfather of the French Revolution. 01:12:48.100 --> 01:12:54.480 His violently anti-biblical views was to also influence another German who was 01:12:54.480 --> 01:13:01.640 inspired by the French Revolution, Karl Marx, whose anti-religious views also 01:13:01.640 --> 01:13:08.340 had a huge impact, not only in the 20th century but even in the 21st also. 01:13:09.480 --> 01:13:16.780 But Napoleon Bonaparte of France was to crown himself emperor and he did it in the 01:13:16.780 --> 01:13:22.400 presence of Pope Pius VII in humiliation of his authority. 01:13:23.240 --> 01:13:28.140 But though France was liberating the Franks from papal rule, across the 01:13:28.140 --> 01:13:34.120 Atlantic Ocean, others caught wind of the revolution and they liberated themselves 01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:35.720 from France. 01:13:37.060 --> 01:13:41.900 This fortress high up in the mountains is surrounded by a beautiful plush scenery of 01:13:41.900 --> 01:13:42.360 green. 01:13:43.780 --> 01:13:49.860 On a close inspection inside this fortress, it is full of cannons to ward 01:13:49.860 --> 01:13:56.000 off any enemy attack by the French and they can be found all over this fortress. 01:13:56.700 --> 01:14:03.020 This well-built and fortified structure was constructed by a man named Henry 01:14:03.020 --> 01:14:08.380 Christophe, the leader of a Caribbean island that became the very first 01:14:08.380 --> 01:14:13.660 modern-day Black Republic, Haiti, one of the few islands that has its 01:14:13.660 --> 01:14:14.480 indigenous name. 01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:21.380 This is the palace of Henry Christophe and it is very clear that he was a man of high 01:14:21.380 --> 01:14:21.920 taste. 01:14:23.040 --> 01:14:28.420 The Haitian Revolution was a revolt by African slaves against French rule and it 01:14:28.420 --> 01:14:29.060 was successful. 01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:35.580 Some of its heroes were men like Jean-Baptiste Belly, who was born in 01:14:35.580 --> 01:14:41.620 Senegal in West Africa, taken as a slave at the age of two and who eventually 01:14:41.620 --> 01:14:46.720 fought in the Haitian Revolution and then eventually became a member of the French 01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:48.020 National Convention. 01:14:49.180 --> 01:14:53.780 But the most famous leader was a man nicknamed the Black Napoleon, 01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:59.840 François-Dominique Toussaint Louboutin, whose military genius led that slave 01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:05.340 revolt which declared Haiti a separate republic from French colonial rule. 01:15:06.680 --> 01:15:13.260 This general is still respected not just in Black circles but in modern-day France. 01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:20.140 But in his day, just like in the days of the Bible, for a man to be defeated by a 01:15:20.140 --> 01:15:23.600 woman was a highest level of shame and embarrassment. 01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:30.680 And in the days of slavery, for Blacks, who were considered as inferiors to defeat 01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:36.540 white Europeans who were considered as the superior race, was a great humiliation. 01:15:37.760 --> 01:15:43.320 So Napoleon tricked him by inviting him to France where he jailed him. 01:15:43.320 --> 01:15:47.680 The embarrassment was just too much for Napoleon's pride. 01:15:48.600 --> 01:15:55.760 But the revolution in Haiti sent ripples in South America and it touched another 01:15:55.760 --> 01:16:03.820 revolutionary, Simon Bolivar, and he wanted it to have a greater impact than 01:16:03.820 --> 01:16:06.120 the one in North America. 01:16:16.080 --> 01:16:20.180 Your vision of democracy is exactly what Washington and Jefferson promised. 01:16:20.660 --> 01:16:21.260 Yes, it is. 01:16:22.040 --> 01:16:25.160 It's not only for white men, it's for all men. 01:16:25.740 --> 01:16:26.260 Invasion. 01:16:27.160 --> 01:16:30.760 They massacred the first Americans and enslaved the continent for 300 years. 01:16:44.700 --> 01:16:48.860 Today we proclaim the great American Republic of Colombia. 01:16:50.260 --> 01:16:55.480 The second kingdom, the United States, started to rise when the first beast, 01:16:55.920 --> 01:16:57.740 the Papacy, went into captivity. 01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:04.320 And there is no question that France had a profound influence on those men who wanted 01:17:04.320 --> 01:17:07.340 to separate those 13 colonies from British rule. 01:17:09.300 --> 01:17:14.960 This painting from the revolution shows Jean-Jacques Rousseau above the all-seeing 01:17:14.960 --> 01:17:17.160 eye and the French flags. 01:17:18.100 --> 01:17:23.240 The all-seeing eye is now one of the insignias of the seal of the United 01:17:23.240 --> 01:17:25.980 States, a clear French influence. 01:17:27.120 --> 01:17:33.100 This painting shows Voltaire in the center blessing the grandson of Benjamin Franklin 01:17:33.100 --> 01:17:38.560 who stands on the left, a man heavily influenced by France. 01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:46.400 The Declaration of Independence of 1776 separated the 13 colonies and was the 01:17:46.400 --> 01:17:49.560 beginning of what today we call the United States. 01:17:50.440 --> 01:17:56.480 But it was the wars of independence in that embryonic nation that fully severed 01:17:56.480 --> 01:18:01.580 those colonies from the clutch of the English crown that led North America of 01:18:01.580 --> 01:18:07.400 becoming a republic, a nation without a monarch, no king, no pope. 01:18:08.360 --> 01:18:13.760 And George Washington became its first officially elected president of the United 01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:14.280 States. 01:18:15.360 --> 01:18:20.400 But from looking at modern day video games, an extension of US military 01:18:20.400 --> 01:18:25.360 propaganda, we can get a clear picture of what the United States is planning to do, 01:18:26.420 --> 01:18:28.000 conquer the entire earth. 01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:31.880 But the question we have to ask, on whose behalf? 01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:39.840 Afro-Manhattan, though a secular writer, foresaw the danger of an alliance of the 01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:40.480 two kingdoms. 01:18:41.640 --> 01:18:48.680 He wrote a book that was so solid it was rejected by 55 publishers in both the 01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:53.620 United States and Great Britain, but became a number one bestseller that 01:18:53.620 --> 01:18:55.120 went into 47 editions. 01:18:56.280 --> 01:19:01.480 It was called the Vatican in World Politics, published just after the Second 01:19:01.480 --> 01:19:08.100 World War, and he documented what would be the future effects of an alignment between 01:19:08.100 --> 01:19:09.740 the two kingdoms. 01:19:12.140 --> 01:19:16.600 The United States of America, being the most powerful, wealthy and active country 01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:21.060 in the Western Hemisphere, has quickly become the undisputed leader of the 01:19:21.060 --> 01:19:25.420 American countries, and even before the Second World War, it was obviously 01:19:25.420 --> 01:19:29.160 destined to be one of the most powerful countries, if not the most powerful 01:19:29.160 --> 01:19:31.240 country in the world. 01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:40.660 On July 29, 1939, Cardinal Enrico Gasparri arrived in New York and spent three days 01:19:40.660 --> 01:19:46.080 with Archbishop Spellman, his mission being to repair the juridical status for 01:19:46.080 --> 01:19:50.940 the possible opening of diplomatic relations between the State Department and 01:19:50.940 --> 01:19:52.660 the Holy See. 01:20:00.400 --> 01:20:04.520 On the day the United States of America has an ambassador to the Vatican, 01:20:05.400 --> 01:20:10.180 the Vatican will be entitled to have a representative in Washington who will 01:20:10.180 --> 01:20:15.860 officially address the President on behalf not only of Vatican City, an independent 01:20:15.860 --> 01:20:20.120 miniature state, but of the Roman Catholic citizens of the United States, 01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:26.480 and furthermore, on behalf of the 400 million Roman Catholics all over the 01:20:26.480 --> 01:20:26.780 world. 01:20:27.720 --> 01:20:29.340 Today, it is in its billions. 01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:31.960 What would this mean? 01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:37.440 That the constitution of the United States of America would crumble to the ground, 01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:43.020 and that the separation of the state from the church would be gone forever. 01:20:44.580 --> 01:20:49.320 How much of such pressure will the fast disintegrating Protestant churches stand? 01:20:49.320 --> 01:20:55.560 For how long would the constitution be left unaltered and the separation of 01:20:55.560 --> 01:21:00.520 church and state be allowed to remain one of the fundamental pillars of the United 01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:01.020 States? 01:21:01.980 --> 01:21:06.900 What then should happen to American principles of liberty of conscience, 01:21:07.740 --> 01:21:12.880 of the individual, of religion, and all those other aspects of freedom 01:21:12.880 --> 01:21:16.990 that are now an integral part of American life? 01:21:19.320 --> 01:21:24.980 Avraham Manhattan also saw that the man who provoked the First and Second World 01:21:24.980 --> 01:21:31.140 War, Eugenio Parkelly, who later became Pope Pius XII, formed an unholy alliance 01:21:31.140 --> 01:21:33.880 with John Foster Dulles, the U.S. 01:21:34.260 --> 01:21:37.800 Secretary of State, that led to the Cold War. 01:21:38.360 --> 01:21:44.140 And this cozy relationship of the two kingdoms will eventually lead to the worst 01:21:44.140 --> 01:21:50.100 levels of global draconianism in the history of man according to Revelation 01:21:50.100 --> 01:21:52.940 chapter 13 verses 12 to 17. 01:21:53.800 --> 01:21:58.040 And in order for the United States to fulfill her prophetic destiny, 01:21:58.980 --> 01:22:02.460 she has to unwind the foundation of her liberties. 01:22:04.360 --> 01:22:07.420 Elihu Vedder was an American Symbolist painter. 01:22:08.460 --> 01:22:13.900 He painted a picture that represented the American government in 1896 that is 01:22:13.900 --> 01:22:18.020 situated in the lobby in the main reading room in the Library of Congress in 01:22:18.020 --> 01:22:18.960 Washington DC. 01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:26.880 And in the centre it reads, A government of the people, by the people, for the 01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:27.180 people. 01:22:27.980 --> 01:22:28.660 Democracy. 01:22:30.360 --> 01:22:35.520 Opposite Parliament Square in London, England, is a statue of President Abraham 01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:35.920 Lincoln. 01:22:37.020 --> 01:22:41.640 He is credited with coining that phrase, but it was not his words. 01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:47.740 These are the words of the Evangelical Doctor, the 14th century Oxford scholar 01:22:47.740 --> 01:22:53.260 and the Morning Star of the Reformation, whose introduction or prologue to his 01:22:53.260 --> 01:23:01.280 Bible said, The Bible is the government of the people, by the people, and for the 01:23:01.280 --> 01:23:01.560 people. 01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:09.520 Which shows that the foundation of modern day liberties is the Bible and its 01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:11.100 restoration at the Reformation. 01:23:12.260 --> 01:23:20.520 This has been confirmed in the British newspaper and even in British politics in 01:23:20.520 --> 01:23:22.780 controversial political circles. 01:23:25.200 --> 01:23:29.460 Government of the people, by the people, for the people, said Abraham Lincoln 01:23:29.460 --> 01:23:30.920 famously at Gettysburg. 01:23:31.880 --> 01:23:33.060 Those were not his words. 01:23:34.240 --> 01:23:41.360 Those were the words of that greatest of Englishmen, John Wycliffe, translator of 01:23:41.360 --> 01:23:41.680 the Bible. 01:23:42.860 --> 01:23:46.840 Wycliffe's words were a precursor to an extraordinary transformation. 01:23:47.980 --> 01:23:53.000 Change in technology that redefined the relationship between the governing and the 01:23:53.000 --> 01:23:53.300 governed. 01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:56.520 So too in our own time. 01:23:57.760 --> 01:24:04.700 Whether you sit astride a mass of power in Westminster or in banking, in Whitehall or 01:24:04.700 --> 01:24:09.660 in Brussels, Wycliffe's words will become ever more insistent. 01:24:11.220 --> 01:24:16.960 Unbeknownst to most people, the final and intense battle on earth will be over being 01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:21.420 obedient to the word of God or to the word of man. 01:24:22.480 --> 01:24:24.560 The choice is yours. 01:24:26.180 --> 01:24:30.660 So as I always encourage you, please study, research, investigate. 01:24:30.820 --> 01:24:34.900 That is the only way you will have a clear understanding of events which are taking 01:24:34.900 --> 01:24:39.120 place in the world and in line with Bible prophecy. 01:24:39.120 --> 01:24:43.520 Until then, be prepared for the last study of the two kingdoms.
