WEBVTT 00:02.520 --> 00:08.620 Hearing the Truth Radio Welcome all who want to know the truth of God and the 00:08.620 --> 00:08.920 Bible. 00:09.240 --> 00:10.240 I'm Mike Ward with D.S. 00:10.360 --> 00:14.060 Farris and the message today is the Counter-Reformation. 00:14.560 --> 00:19.340 D.S., in a prior study, we've seen that the Jesuit Order developed the futurist 00:19.340 --> 00:20.920 system of prophetic interpretation. 00:21.440 --> 00:24.260 This was definitely one of the aspects of the Counter-Reformation. 00:24.640 --> 00:28.960 I think it's imperative that we know more about the Jesuits and more about the 00:28.960 --> 00:29.740 Counter-Reformation. 00:29.740 --> 00:31.360 We should know more about this history. 00:31.980 --> 00:35.580 This indispensable information will clarify Rome's intentions for the world. 00:35.920 --> 00:39.240 As you well know, the Protestant Reformation was the most powerful 00:39.240 --> 00:42.060 ideological force to ever come against Romanism. 00:42.700 --> 00:45.880 The Protestants said the Bible, not tradition, is supreme. 00:46.640 --> 00:51.520 The Protestants also said the Pope and his kingdom constitute the Antichrist. 00:52.080 --> 00:56.840 With these two views alone, the papacy was destined for complete ruination. 00:56.840 --> 01:00.000 The papacy felt the pressure of Protestantism. 01:00.980 --> 01:05.340 We must ask, what was the Catholic Church's solution against Protestantism? 01:06.020 --> 01:11.520 The Counter-Reformation, headed by the Jesuits, was that solution against the 01:11.520 --> 01:12.540 Protestant Reformation. 01:13.060 --> 01:17.820 The first part of the Counter-Reformation was the formal recognition of the Jesuits. 01:18.580 --> 01:21.320 We must ask, what is the Jesuit Order? 01:21.320 --> 01:28.060 The Jesuit Order is a society of men who dedicate themselves to the protection and 01:28.060 --> 01:30.140 advancement of the Catholic Church. 01:30.740 --> 01:34.600 The Jesuits have long been known to be the soldiers of the papacy. 01:35.220 --> 01:41.960 The most potent force ever to come against Protestantism was and is the Jesuit Order. 01:42.920 --> 01:52.160 Ignatius Loyola, or Don Inigo Lopez de Loyola, between 1491-1556, was the founder 01:52.160 --> 01:53.220 of this society. 01:53.680 --> 01:59.940 History shows that in 1537, Loyola and his companions developed the ambition to 01:59.940 --> 02:02.620 protect the Catholic Church from all enemies. 02:02.620 --> 02:10.420 In 1540, Pope Paul III issued a bull that, quote, directed those who enrolled in this 02:10.420 --> 02:16.060 army to bear the standard of the cross, to wield the arms of God, to serve the 02:16.060 --> 02:20.880 only Lord, and the Roman pontiff, his vicar on earth, end of quote, 02:21.140 --> 02:21.860 says Wiley. 02:21.980 --> 02:24.800 In the History of Protestantism, Volume 2, page 386. 02:25.580 --> 02:30.200 In other words, in 1540, the Pope acknowledged the army of the Jesuits as a 02:30.200 --> 02:33.480 society whose purpose would be to protect the Catholic Church. 02:33.860 --> 02:37.520 Yes, now let's talk more about the purpose of this organization in the days of its 02:37.520 --> 02:37.960 inception. 02:38.660 --> 02:41.700 What was the purpose of Ignatius Loyola's new society? 02:42.140 --> 02:47.000 The purpose of the Jesuit Order was to recapture all the ground lost to 02:47.000 --> 02:47.760 Protestantism. 02:48.380 --> 02:52.420 It was the studied aim of the Jesuits to become the masters of the world, 02:52.720 --> 02:57.920 to bring all men into submission and subservience to the Roman Catholic Church. 02:58.920 --> 03:03.340 From the beginning, the purpose of the Jesuit Order was to overthrow 03:03.340 --> 03:08.380 Protestantism, and their ultimate goal was to become the masters of the world. 03:09.200 --> 03:13.840 Dr. Froome gives an excellent summary of the worldwide Jesuit expansion. 03:14.460 --> 03:19.080 He says, from 1540, then, the Counter-Reformation may be dated. 03:19.840 --> 03:24.460 Within 50 years, the Jesuits had planted stations in Peru, Africa, the islands of 03:24.460 --> 03:30.500 the East Indies, Hindustan, Japan, and China, and before long in the Canadian 03:30.500 --> 03:32.600 forests and the American colonies. 03:33.200 --> 03:36.160 Their members secured important chairs in universities. 03:36.820 --> 03:41.680 They became counselors and confessors to monarchs, and were the most able of all 03:41.680 --> 03:42.760 Catholic preachers. 03:43.420 --> 03:46.740 By 1615, they had a membership of 13,000. 03:47.580 --> 03:50.620 Thus, through the Jesuits, the Counter-Reformation, next to the 03:50.620 --> 03:55.320 Protestant Reformation itself, became the most memorable movement in the 03:55.320 --> 03:56.620 history of modern times. 03:56.740 --> 04:00.980 And that comes from Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Volume 2, page 464. 04:01.400 --> 04:03.100 You want to talk about men of dedication. 04:03.300 --> 04:05.240 The Jesuits achieved a lot of power. 04:05.460 --> 04:07.760 Yes, and how did the Jesuits achieve such power? 04:08.340 --> 04:13.860 A modern-day Jesuit, Malachi Martin, tells us, he says, There was no continent 04:13.860 --> 04:18.040 Jesuits did not reach, no known language they did not speak and study, or in scores 04:18.040 --> 04:23.160 of cases develop, no culture they did not penetrate, no branch of learning and 04:23.160 --> 04:27.860 science they did not explore, no work in humanism and the arts and popular 04:27.860 --> 04:31.440 education they did not undertake and do better than anyone else. 04:32.360 --> 04:33.760 And this comes from the Jesuits. 04:34.740 --> 04:39.040 The Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church, page 27. 04:39.680 --> 04:43.400 Now, having demonstrated that the first step of the Counter-Reformation was the 04:43.400 --> 04:47.520 recognition of the Jesuit order, we can now move on to step 2. 04:47.960 --> 04:51.860 The second step of the Counter-Reformation against Protestantism was the Council of 04:51.860 --> 04:52.200 Trent. 04:53.020 --> 04:55.560 What was the most important foundation of Protestantism? 04:55.880 --> 04:59.120 The most important foundation of Protestantism was the Bible. 04:59.740 --> 05:04.200 Dr. Froome tells us that the discussions in the Council of Trent focused on 05:04.200 --> 05:05.320 Luther's positions. 05:06.000 --> 05:07.780 What were Luther's positions? 05:08.680 --> 05:09.020 1. 05:09.960 --> 05:15.580 That Holy Scripture contains all things necessary to salvation, and that it is 05:15.580 --> 05:19.400 sacrilege to place tradition on a level with the Scriptures. 05:19.800 --> 05:20.080 2. 05:20.360 --> 05:26.000 That certain books, accepted as canonical in the Latin Vulgate, are apocryphal and 05:26.000 --> 05:26.720 not canonical. 05:27.220 --> 05:27.520 3. 05:27.700 --> 05:32.380 That the meaning of Scripture is plain, and can be understood without churchly 05:32.380 --> 05:34.800 commentary, by aid of the Holy Spirit. 05:34.800 --> 05:38.800 And this comes from Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Volume 2, page 474. 05:39.640 --> 05:42.880 Well, I completely agree with those three positions of Protestantism. 05:43.500 --> 05:46.660 So do I, but the Catholic Church does not agree with those positions. 05:47.320 --> 05:50.960 In the fourth session of the Council of Trent, the attitude of the papacy towards 05:50.960 --> 05:52.460 the Word of God becomes apparent. 05:53.180 --> 05:58.100 Dowling tells us, In this session, a decree was passed, which placed 05:58.100 --> 06:03.000 tradition upon an equality with the Scriptures, declared the books of the 06:03.000 --> 06:07.040 Apocrypha to be part of the Word of God, elevated the Latin translation of the 06:07.040 --> 06:10.740 Scriptures, called the Vulgate, to an authority superior to that of the 06:10.740 --> 06:15.700 inspired Hebrew and Greek originals, and enacted severe penal laws against the 06:15.700 --> 06:16.760 liberty of the press. 06:17.300 --> 06:20.660 And that comes from History of Romanism, page 479. 06:20.660 --> 06:21.980 Note this clearly. 06:22.380 --> 06:26.920 At the Council of Trent, tradition was placed on an equality with Scripture, 06:27.340 --> 06:29.500 and the Apocrypha was considered canonical. 06:30.680 --> 06:34.500 This was important for Rome, because so much of their religion is based on 06:34.500 --> 06:36.500 tradition and extra-biblical sources. 06:37.300 --> 06:41.800 Now, in the following, Dowling cites the words of the Council of Trent. 06:42.700 --> 06:47.940 He says, The Sacred, Holy, Ecumenical, and General Council of Trent lawfully 06:47.940 --> 06:52.800 assembled in the Holy Spirit the three before-mentioned legates of the Apostolic 06:52.800 --> 06:57.300 See presiding therein, having constantly in view the removal of error and the 06:57.300 --> 07:01.560 preservation of the purity of the Gospel in the Church, which Gospel promised 07:01.560 --> 07:06.720 before by the Prophets in the Sacred Scriptures was first orally published by 07:06.720 --> 07:11.200 our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who afterwards commanded it to be preached 07:11.200 --> 07:17.020 by His Apostles to every creature as the source of all saving truth and discipline. 07:18.100 --> 07:21.960 And perceiving that this truth and discipline are contained, now watch this 07:21.960 --> 07:28.180 closely, are contained both in written books and unwritten traditions. 07:28.940 --> 07:32.680 And this is cited in History of Romanism, page 479. 07:32.800 --> 07:37.640 Alright, D.S., what are the unwritten traditions of the Catholic Church? 07:37.640 --> 07:38.820 I will let J.A. 07:38.900 --> 07:40.260 Wiley answer your question. 07:41.000 --> 07:45.840 He says, We may state that the traditions which the Church of Rome has thus placed 07:45.840 --> 07:52.020 on a level with the Bible are the supposed sayings of Christ and the Apostles handed 07:52.020 --> 07:53.200 down by tradition. 07:53.800 --> 07:59.160 Of course no proof exists that such things were ever spoken by those to whom they are 07:59.160 --> 07:59.620 imputed. 07:59.820 --> 08:00.160 What? 08:00.520 --> 08:04.800 They were never known or heard of till the monks of the Middle Ages gave them to the 08:04.800 --> 08:05.220 world. 08:05.220 --> 08:09.520 And this comes from the papacy, History, Dogmas, Genius and Prospects, 08:09.560 --> 08:12.060 book 2, page 171. 08:12.280 --> 08:17.620 In other words, there are supposed sayings of Christ and the Apostles that have been 08:17.620 --> 08:20.400 handed down generation after generation. 08:20.920 --> 08:25.320 And these so-called traditions have been kept intact by Rome. 08:25.320 --> 08:31.520 Does the papacy really expect me to believe that supposed sayings of Christ 08:31.520 --> 08:35.200 and the Apostles were really handed down to the monks of the earlier centuries? 08:35.920 --> 08:41.400 This is even more ridiculous than using the extra-biblical books of junk like the 08:41.400 --> 08:42.600 secrets of Enoch and Baruch. 08:42.720 --> 08:47.340 In actuality, this operation reminds me a lot of the Jews in the day of Christ who 08:47.340 --> 08:49.360 used the oral traditions of the Talmud. 08:49.960 --> 08:54.260 We know that the Talmud was the supposed sayings of Moses, and this book oftentimes 08:54.260 --> 08:57.200 replaced the teachings of the real Hebrew Bible. 08:57.940 --> 09:02.440 This is exactly why in Matthew 15, 6-9, Jesus said, Thus you have made the 09:02.440 --> 09:05.720 commandments of God of no effect by your tradition. 09:06.300 --> 09:11.460 Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying, These people draw near to me 09:11.460 --> 09:15.020 with their mouths and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 09:15.280 --> 09:18.820 And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. 09:18.820 --> 09:19.920 That's exactly right. 09:20.340 --> 09:26.600 Martin Chemnitz, between 1522-1586, also made that same connection. 09:26.800 --> 09:32.320 For he tells us, The Talmudists embellished their fictions by pretending 09:32.320 --> 09:37.560 that Moses on Mount Sinai received from God not only what he wrote, but also a 09:37.560 --> 09:42.080 mystical and secret exposition of the law, which he neither wrote nor had written, 09:42.160 --> 09:46.960 but handed down orally, and recommended that it be delivered to posterity from 09:46.960 --> 09:47.820 hand to hand. 09:47.820 --> 09:53.160 And they say that both are the word of God, to be received and respected with 09:53.160 --> 09:54.560 equal reverence and devotion. 09:55.320 --> 10:00.000 And if the Talmud had not been written beforehand, I would surely have thought 10:00.000 --> 10:05.120 that the rabbis had taken this theory over from the papists, and had accommodated it 10:05.120 --> 10:06.340 to their traditions. 10:06.880 --> 10:12.140 For so great is the similarity that there can be no doubt that both the fictions of 10:12.140 --> 10:16.900 the Talmudists and of the papists concerning traditions have one and the 10:16.900 --> 10:22.920 same architect and maker, namely him who sows and mixes tares with the good seed. 10:23.460 --> 10:27.200 And this comes from the examination of the Council of Trent, concerning Holy 10:27.200 --> 10:30.720 Scripture, section 3, paragraph 5, page 67. 10:30.940 --> 10:35.280 Wow, the papacy doesn't just borrow from paganism, they borrow the errors of all 10:35.280 --> 10:36.080 religious systems. 10:36.340 --> 10:40.340 Yes, I guarantee that those behind the Council of Trent never had any intention 10:40.340 --> 10:41.900 of supporting God's holy word. 10:41.900 --> 10:45.520 Their intentions were to exalt traditions far above the Bible. 10:45.720 --> 10:46.760 Yes, that is the case. 10:47.720 --> 10:51.820 It is important to realize that the Roman Church, though pretending to honor the 10:51.820 --> 10:56.420 Scriptures and the Council, in reality was debasing the Scriptures and seeking every 10:56.420 --> 11:00.540 way to discredit their meaning in the hope that they would be justified in the 11:00.540 --> 11:02.240 condemnation of Protestantism. 11:02.960 --> 11:06.520 It was simple destructive logic on the part of the papacy at the Council of 11:06.520 --> 11:06.800 Trent. 11:07.580 --> 11:11.800 Protestantism was basing their beliefs on the Scriptures, so the papacy had to 11:11.800 --> 11:12.920 discredit the source. 11:13.920 --> 11:18.020 Now, in addition to the papal system of unwritten traditions, which undermine the 11:18.020 --> 11:23.060 Bible, the Council of Trent even went so far as to canonize the apocryphal books. 11:23.680 --> 11:25.300 Why did the Council do this? 11:25.500 --> 11:31.640 The papacy had to find a justification for teachings that contradict the canonical 11:31.640 --> 11:32.240 Scriptures. 11:32.760 --> 11:36.320 So they sought justification in the extra-biblical sources. 11:36.320 --> 11:41.900 No wonder the Jesuits had no problem creating futurism from the Beliar myth of 11:41.900 --> 11:43.800 the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs. 11:44.060 --> 11:48.040 The Council of Trent justified their extra-biblical usage. 11:48.120 --> 11:48.780 That is correct. 11:49.120 --> 11:52.500 And now I will demonstrate a few more doctrines that were created from these 11:52.500 --> 11:53.180 pseudo-books. 11:53.740 --> 11:55.280 The sale of indulgences. 11:55.980 --> 11:57.320 What are the sale of indulgences? 11:58.520 --> 11:58.760 J. 11:58.840 --> 11:58.980 A. 11:59.060 --> 12:03.100 Wiley tells us in the following, Christ suffered more than was required for 12:03.100 --> 12:04.440 the salvation of the elect. 12:04.440 --> 12:08.740 Many of the saints and martyrs likewise have performed more good works than were 12:08.740 --> 12:10.320 requisite for their own salvation. 12:10.900 --> 12:15.220 And these, to which it is not uncommon to add the merits of the virgin, have been 12:15.220 --> 12:18.880 all thrown into a common fund, which has been entrusted to the keeping of 12:18.880 --> 12:19.340 the Church. 12:19.940 --> 12:23.860 Of this treasury the Pope keeps the key, and whoever feels that his merits are not 12:23.860 --> 12:27.680 enough to carry him to heaven, has only to apply at this ghostly depot, 12:27.880 --> 12:31.940 where he may buy for a reasonable sum, whatever he needs to supplement his 12:31.940 --> 12:32.760 deficiencies. 12:32.760 --> 12:37.100 And this comes from the papacy, History, Dogmas, Genius and Prospects, 12:37.100 --> 12:39.560 Book 2, pages 333 and 334. 12:39.700 --> 12:43.060 Now for emphasis, what is the sale of indulgences? 12:43.600 --> 12:49.840 Notice again the words of Wiley on page 334, where he says, In this market which 12:49.840 --> 12:54.840 Rome has opened for the sale of spiritual wares, money is not less indispensable 12:54.840 --> 12:58.760 than it is in the emporiums of earthly and perishable merchandise. 12:58.760 --> 13:04.820 The price varies, being regulated by the same laws which govern the price of 13:04.820 --> 13:05.840 earthly commodities. 13:06.420 --> 13:10.900 To cover a crime of great magnitude, a larger amount of merit is of course 13:10.900 --> 13:11.480 required. 13:12.080 --> 13:16.000 And for that it is but reasonable that a larger sum should be given. 13:16.740 --> 13:19.760 DS, do you realize how serious this is? 13:19.800 --> 13:20.240 Absolutely. 13:20.420 --> 13:24.760 The Roman Catholic Church made salvation and redemption a thing to be purchased 13:24.760 --> 13:27.400 with money under the Pope's blessing. 13:27.400 --> 13:28.740 And that's not all. 13:28.900 --> 13:32.140 They've even went so far as to say that the righteousness of the saints, 13:32.720 --> 13:37.660 the martyrs and the Virgin Mary can be transferred to a person for the purpose of 13:37.660 --> 13:38.220 salvation. 13:38.480 --> 13:41.280 Does this not say that Christ's blood is not good enough to save? 13:41.500 --> 13:46.620 These workers of iniquity are actually teaching that we can only be saved so long 13:46.620 --> 13:51.100 as we purchase with money the righteousness of other human beings and 13:51.100 --> 13:51.820 not Christ. 13:51.820 --> 13:56.560 Oh yeah, it's amazing the kind of salvific fiction that was created from these books 13:56.560 --> 13:58.100 of junk, as you say, Mike. 13:58.240 --> 13:59.120 Yeah, that's what they are. 13:59.160 --> 14:00.460 Now here are some more examples. 14:01.700 --> 14:06.560 According to 2 Maccabees 12, 44-46, we should pray for the dead. 14:07.520 --> 14:08.560 We read in the following. 14:09.220 --> 14:14.380 For if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been useless and 14:14.380 --> 14:15.940 foolish to pray for them in death. 14:15.940 --> 14:20.660 But if he did this with a view to the splendid reward that awaits those who had 14:20.660 --> 14:24.500 gone to rest in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. 14:25.080 --> 14:29.340 Thus he made atonement for the dead, that they might be freed from this sin. 14:30.520 --> 14:34.940 According to Tobit 6, 7-9, we should make incantations. 14:35.980 --> 14:37.180 We read in the following. 14:37.680 --> 14:40.320 Afterward they traveled on together till they were near Midian. 14:40.320 --> 14:42.600 The boy asked the angel this question. 14:43.160 --> 14:47.180 Brother Azariah, what medical value is there in the fish's heart, liver, 14:47.300 --> 14:47.680 and gall? 14:48.480 --> 14:49.160 He answered. 14:49.400 --> 14:54.100 As regards the fish's heart and liver, if you burn them so that smoke surrounds a 14:54.100 --> 14:59.540 man or a woman who is afflicted by a demon or evil spirit, the affliction will leave 14:59.540 --> 15:03.000 him completely, and no demons will ever return to him again. 15:03.000 --> 15:08.340 And as for the gall, if you rub it on the eyes of a man who has cataracts, 15:08.600 --> 15:13.480 blowing into his eyes right on the cataracts, his sight will be restored. 15:13.740 --> 15:14.420 Let's try that. 15:14.540 --> 15:16.120 D.S., what are incantations? 15:16.740 --> 15:21.620 Incantations are a ritualistic form of reciting charms and spells, the purpose 15:21.620 --> 15:23.580 being to gain some magical effect. 15:24.140 --> 15:27.740 This is witchcraft stemming back to the mystical aspects of paganism. 15:28.220 --> 15:32.040 In the papacy, the praying over the dead is accompanied with incantations. 15:32.040 --> 15:37.380 So it is apparent why 2 Maccabees and Tobit would have been so important to the 15:37.380 --> 15:39.860 Catholic Church during the Council of Trent. 15:40.340 --> 15:43.360 Alright, what about the concept of purgatory? 15:43.760 --> 15:46.980 Now I wouldn't be surprised if this idea also stemmed from the extra-biblical 15:46.980 --> 15:47.420 sources. 15:47.580 --> 15:48.360 Let's find out. 15:49.220 --> 15:53.340 Wiley tells us that the papacy believes in four levels of the afterlife. 15:54.540 --> 15:56.200 He tells us in the following. 15:57.020 --> 16:00.060 Papists have mapped out the other world into four grand divisions. 16:00.060 --> 16:03.160 The lowest is Hell, the region of the damned. 16:03.820 --> 16:05.320 There are the ever-burning fires. 16:05.600 --> 16:08.080 There are Lutherans and all other Protestant heretics. 16:08.320 --> 16:12.340 And in fine, there are all who have died beyond the pale of the Roman Catholic 16:12.340 --> 16:12.820 Church. 16:13.360 --> 16:15.280 The next region in order is Purgatory. 16:16.320 --> 16:21.020 Immediately above Purgatory is Limbus Patrum, where the souls of the saints who 16:21.020 --> 16:25.260 died before our Savior's time were confined till released by Him and carried 16:25.260 --> 16:26.740 with Him to Heaven at His ascension. 16:27.380 --> 16:30.780 The last and remaining region is Limbus Infantum. 16:31.480 --> 16:34.960 To this receptacle, the souls of children dying unbaptized are consigned, 16:35.640 --> 16:39.680 it being a subtle point among the doctors of the Roman Church that such as die 16:39.680 --> 16:41.820 unbaptized are excluded from Heaven. 16:42.340 --> 16:46.040 And this comes from the Papacy, History, Dogmas, Genius and Prospects, 16:46.040 --> 16:47.780 Book 2, page 374. 16:48.160 --> 16:55.600 Now in the same source on pages 347 and 348, Wiley explains the concept of 16:55.600 --> 16:55.880 Purgatory. 16:56.900 --> 17:02.840 He tells us, It is filled with the same fires, and is the scene of the same 17:02.840 --> 17:06.920 torments as the region immediately beneath it, but with this important difference, 17:07.460 --> 17:10.260 that those consigned to it remain here only for a while. 17:10.600 --> 17:14.640 It is the doctrine of the Church of Rome that no one enters Heaven immediately on 17:14.640 --> 17:15.300 his departure. 17:15.860 --> 17:20.180 A short purgation amid the fires of Purgatory is indispensable in the case of 17:20.180 --> 17:24.540 all, unless perhaps of those who are protected by a very special and most 17:24.540 --> 17:26.140 plenary indulgence. 17:26.980 --> 17:30.700 In other words, Purgatory is one of the four places that the souls of men go after 17:30.700 --> 17:31.200 death. 17:31.600 --> 17:34.220 Can we find such doctrine in the canonical scriptures? 17:34.420 --> 17:35.080 Not at all. 17:35.740 --> 17:40.540 It is likely that the papal doctrine of four grand divisions is an elaboration 17:40.540 --> 17:44.320 from the Ethiopian Enoch, chapter 22, verses 1-7. 17:45.000 --> 17:50.660 In the Ethiopian Enoch, chapter 22, we read the following, And thence I went 17:50.660 --> 17:54.560 to another place, and he showed me in the west another great and high mountain of 17:54.560 --> 17:55.220 hard rock. 17:56.040 --> 17:59.660 And there was in it four hollow places, deep and wide, and very smooth. 18:00.180 --> 18:03.360 How smooth are the hollow places, and deep and dark to look at! 18:03.920 --> 18:08.200 Then Raphael answered one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me, 18:08.300 --> 18:12.660 These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits of the 18:12.660 --> 18:16.600 souls of the dead should assemble therein, yea, that all the souls of the children of 18:16.600 --> 18:17.680 men should assemble here. 18:17.680 --> 18:21.800 And these places have been made to receive them until the day of their judgment, 18:22.300 --> 18:25.900 until their appointed period, till the great judgment comes upon them. 18:26.880 --> 18:33.740 Note this clearly, all these different doctrines, indulgences, praying for the 18:33.740 --> 18:40.600 dead, incantations, purgatory, all these doctrines play a major part in 18:40.600 --> 18:41.480 the papal worship. 18:42.040 --> 18:46.420 Because these doctrines cannot be found from Genesis to Revelation, the Catholic 18:46.420 --> 18:49.200 Church sought to canonize the books with these doctrines. 18:49.360 --> 18:54.160 Thus, the papacy has a justification to continue those things which are not in 18:54.160 --> 18:55.140 harmony with God. 18:55.480 --> 18:56.720 This is so retarded. 18:57.400 --> 19:01.200 I mean, so much of the worthless theology in the Christian world stems from these 19:01.200 --> 19:02.480 extra-biblical sources. 19:03.360 --> 19:06.140 It seems people would rather read junk than God's holy word. 19:06.400 --> 19:13.060 DS, I can guarantee you that if someone wrote some stupid work, and named it the 19:13.060 --> 19:17.200 Epistle of Hot Dog, describing the sanctity of hot dogs, and then buried it 19:17.200 --> 19:20.840 in the ground, eventually someone from Rome would unearth it and declare it 19:20.840 --> 19:21.880 Canonical Scripture. 19:22.180 --> 19:26.320 Yeah, and what's sad is people would believe it was from divine origin so long 19:26.320 --> 19:28.440 as Rome said it came from the Church Fathers. 19:28.940 --> 19:32.640 So let us emphasize, as we look at the second step of the Counter-Reformation, 19:33.100 --> 19:35.460 that the Council of Trent made war on the Bible. 19:35.460 --> 19:36.960 Dalling says, 19:51.000 --> 19:55.260 And that comes from the History of Romanism, page 486. 19:55.800 --> 20:02.500 Not only was the Latin Vulgate elevated to unwarranted exaltation, the apocryphal 20:02.500 --> 20:04.840 writings were placed in this Bible as well. 20:04.840 --> 20:07.320 The Council of Trent declared, 20:24.740 --> 20:29.120 And this is cited in the History of Romanism, page 485. 20:30.000 --> 20:31.040 Note this clearly. 20:46.280 --> 20:47.720 Accursed by who? 20:47.840 --> 20:48.860 By the Catholic Church? 20:49.560 --> 20:56.920 Anyone who does not accept as Scripture the intermingled books of Bull is accursed 20:56.920 --> 20:57.980 by the Catholic Church. 20:57.980 --> 21:03.520 I suppose that they think that the Lord binds their decisions and obeys their 21:03.520 --> 21:04.460 orders as well. 21:04.880 --> 21:07.960 T.S., it's apparent that the leaders of the Council of Trent were not concerned 21:07.960 --> 21:11.560 with reforming themselves, but rather their main concern was creating a 21:11.560 --> 21:16.140 Counter-Reformation against Protestantism and the Bible that Protestants use. 21:16.400 --> 21:20.360 Exactly, Mike, and the objectives of Trent are summarized by Dr. Froome in the 21:20.360 --> 21:20.740 following. 21:28.700 --> 21:34.100 Scripture is made subservient to tradition through insistence that it be understood 21:34.100 --> 21:38.260 only in the light of the tradition of the Church, specifically the unanimous 21:38.260 --> 21:39.400 teaching of the Fathers. 21:39.900 --> 21:43.700 The Latin Vulgate was declared the one authentic version, with the intermingled 21:43.700 --> 21:45.860 apocryphal books as Canonical. 21:46.500 --> 21:50.400 The Scriptures were declared not capable of being understood in and of themselves. 21:51.120 --> 21:55.460 Justification by faith, as it was proclaimed by Luther, was condemned. 21:55.460 --> 22:00.500 And no books of religion were to be printed without examination and approval 22:00.500 --> 22:01.340 by the Church. 22:01.700 --> 22:05.640 This comes from Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Volume 2, page 475. 22:06.740 --> 22:10.960 According to the Council of Trent, no one is allowed to think for himself, 22:11.280 --> 22:12.340 and of course now they don't. 22:12.920 --> 22:18.880 In essence, this Council declared that all men be automatons to papal Rome's 22:18.880 --> 22:24.160 understanding of the Scriptures through the lenses of the Apocrypha, the unwritten 22:24.160 --> 22:28.240 traditions of junk, and the Church Fathers. 22:28.640 --> 22:31.840 That's right, and we should ask, what is the danger of the Council of Trent 22:31.840 --> 22:33.220 for us as Christians today? 22:34.300 --> 22:38.860 Dowling says, in this Council, her doctrines became permanently fixed, 22:39.260 --> 22:44.020 and in its decrees, all her anti-scriptural inventions were embodied. 22:44.620 --> 22:46.790 And that comes from the History of Romanism, page 540. 22:46.790 --> 22:53.090 Froome tells us, the Council of Trent, beginning in 1545 under Paul III, 22:53.290 --> 22:59.330 and ending in 1563 under Pius IV, crystallized its actions into decrees that 22:59.330 --> 23:03.130 became the permanent law of the Catholic Church. 23:03.650 --> 23:07.550 And that comes from Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Volume 2, page 471. 23:08.830 --> 23:11.950 What is the danger of the Council of Trent for us today? 23:11.950 --> 23:17.790 Its actions and decrees became the permanent law of the Catholic Church. 23:18.030 --> 23:23.550 Which means, the permanent law of Catholicism is that the Bible is still 23:23.550 --> 23:25.530 considered a forbidden book. 23:25.870 --> 23:30.450 And people ultimately have no right to think outside of Rome's control. 23:31.090 --> 23:35.410 Now, I know that many people in America, who are accustomed to the easy life, 23:35.650 --> 23:39.910 have no conception that if Rome had absolute power over this country, 23:39.910 --> 23:41.690 things would change quickly. 23:42.170 --> 23:46.510 Too many today don't study history, and they don't understand the dangers of 23:46.510 --> 23:47.110 Romanism. 23:47.990 --> 23:53.110 But if you, and I'll say this to the audience, if you stick around on these 23:53.110 --> 23:58.510 shows, eventually we are going to cover the present dangers of Romanism. 23:59.290 --> 24:04.690 We are going to spend a considerable amount of time dealing with the present 24:04.690 --> 24:06.170 dangers of Romanism. 24:06.410 --> 24:08.530 And that's coming on future studies. 24:09.570 --> 24:11.550 Now, let's move back to the issue. 24:12.570 --> 24:14.970 Who are the champions of the Council of Trent? 24:15.610 --> 24:19.070 The very council that forms the basis of Catholic belief today? 24:19.590 --> 24:23.510 Who are the champions for taking liberty of conscience away from the world? 24:24.330 --> 24:26.090 Durant tells us the following. 24:26.910 --> 24:31.610 When at last the Church dared to call that general council to which all Europe had so 24:31.610 --> 24:35.830 long looked for, the quieting of its theological strife and the healing of its 24:35.830 --> 24:42.370 religious wounds, it was to a handful of Jesuits, to their learning, loyalty, 24:43.070 --> 24:48.210 discretion, resourcefulness, and eloquence that the Popes entrusted the defense of 24:48.210 --> 24:52.650 their own challenged authority and the undiminished preservation of their ancient 24:52.650 --> 24:53.150 faith. 24:53.770 --> 24:57.970 The unequaled erudition of the Jesuits soon gave them paramount influence in the 24:57.970 --> 25:03.210 debates, and their unbending orthodoxy guided the council to declare war against 25:03.210 --> 25:07.410 Reformation ideas rather than seek conciliation or unity. 25:07.930 --> 25:11.790 And that comes from the Reformation, pages 916 and 928. 25:11.870 --> 25:14.790 The Jesuits were the strong arm of the Council of Trent. 25:15.370 --> 25:19.910 They were the champions for the abolishment of people's right to think for 25:19.910 --> 25:20.470 themselves. 25:21.030 --> 25:21.790 Very true. 25:22.010 --> 25:23.210 And now, what are we stuck with? 25:23.750 --> 25:25.170 People who don't think for themselves. 25:25.370 --> 25:28.730 Yes, and the Jesuits were also the champions, as we are going to see, 25:28.790 --> 25:29.470 of much more. 25:29.470 --> 25:33.470 Now, the third part of the Counter-Reformation was the development of 25:33.470 --> 25:35.250 counter-prophetic interpretations. 25:35.910 --> 25:40.470 We are going to hold off on this step until further into this study. 25:40.850 --> 25:44.650 For now, we will discuss the fourth and fifth step of the Counter-Reformation, 25:45.230 --> 25:48.370 which was the index and the persecutions that followed. 25:49.190 --> 25:55.730 In 1559, Paul IV published the First Papal Index, in which 48 editions of the Bible 25:55.730 --> 26:01.130 were declared heretical, and 61 printers and publishers were banned from producing 26:01.130 --> 26:02.310 any more Bibles. 26:03.030 --> 26:08.510 Durant tells us, In Rome, Bologna, Naples, Milan, Florence, and Venice, 26:08.690 --> 26:10.810 thousands of books were burned. 26:11.130 --> 26:14.070 Ten thousand in Venice in a single day. 26:14.930 --> 26:17.910 And that comes from the Reformation, page 924. 26:19.050 --> 26:20.350 Let us raise the question. 26:21.030 --> 26:24.450 Who was the main weapon against the Scriptures and the Protestants? 26:25.310 --> 26:27.210 The Jesuits were that weapon. 26:27.910 --> 26:29.650 We learn this truth from G.B. 26:29.790 --> 26:36.250 Nicolini, who tells us, Through his, meaning Carapha, through his exertions and 26:36.250 --> 26:42.710 those of Loyola, an edict appeared on the 21st of July, 1542, appointing six 26:42.710 --> 26:47.990 cardinals, commissioners of the Holy See, and general inquisitors, with power to 26:47.990 --> 26:50.950 delegate their authority to any person they pleased. 26:50.950 --> 26:56.030 All ranks of citizens, without exception, were subject to these inquisitors. 26:56.910 --> 27:01.150 Suspected persons were immediately imprisoned, the guilty punished with 27:01.150 --> 27:03.390 death, and their property confiscated. 27:03.790 --> 27:08.130 No book could be printed or sold without the authority of the inquisitor. 27:08.810 --> 27:12.910 This terrible tribunal, in the hands of the relentless and unforgiving Carapha, 27:13.290 --> 27:15.910 spread desolation and dismay throughout Italy. 27:16.810 --> 27:21.090 As sacerdotal ferocity then called to its aid the might of the secular arm, 27:21.210 --> 27:25.810 and thus became all-powerful, death assumed a new and more terrible aspect. 27:26.510 --> 27:30.750 And he who should invent instruments of torture to dislocate the limbs of the 27:30.750 --> 27:35.490 victims, with the most exquisite and excruciating pains possible, would be 27:35.490 --> 27:35.970 rewarded. 27:37.050 --> 27:41.330 Throughout Italy, as in various parts of Europe, you might have seen, whilst the 27:41.330 --> 27:46.070 infernal flames of the pile were ascending, the sinister and diabolical 27:46.070 --> 27:51.550 smile of the Jesuits, who were aiming at the increase of their order, under the 27:51.550 --> 27:53.850 shade of this all-mastering power. 27:54.910 --> 27:58.470 And this comes from History of the Jesuits, their origin, progress, 27:58.670 --> 27:59.830 doctrines, and designs. 28:00.150 --> 28:01.930 Pages 60-62. 28:02.110 --> 28:06.630 So the Jesuits became the power behind the Inquisition, which resulted in the death 28:06.630 --> 28:07.930 of hundreds of thousands of people. 28:08.130 --> 28:08.910 That is correct. 28:09.310 --> 28:10.790 And notice the words of Durant. 28:11.770 --> 28:17.270 When Carapha himself became Paul IV, the institution was set in full motion, 28:17.650 --> 28:21.650 and under his superhuman rigor, the Inquisition acquired such a reputation 28:21.650 --> 28:27.090 that from no other judgment seat on earth were more horrible and fearful sentences 28:27.090 --> 28:28.010 to be expected. 28:28.590 --> 28:30.990 And that comes from the Reformation, page 925. 28:32.470 --> 28:34.670 Who was the strong arm of Paul IV? 28:34.870 --> 28:36.950 The Jesuits were the strong arm. 28:36.950 --> 28:40.890 And the work of the Jesuits did not end with Paul IV. 28:41.690 --> 28:46.250 It must be realized that the Inquisition reached great heights under the work of 28:46.250 --> 28:46.930 the Jesuits. 28:47.550 --> 28:52.470 The slaughter of St. Bartholomew was one of, if not the worst slaughters in 28:52.470 --> 28:53.390 Protestant history. 28:54.330 --> 28:57.730 Between 50,000 to 70,000 Protestants were killed. 28:58.550 --> 29:00.710 Who was behind this diabolical work? 29:01.290 --> 29:01.710 R. 29:01.730 --> 29:02.070 W. 29:02.150 --> 29:03.550 Thompson tells us. 29:03.550 --> 29:08.270 After the admission of the Jesuits into Paris to bring about the terrible massacre 29:08.270 --> 29:13.390 of St. Bartholomew, an event so closely allied with others, of which they were the 29:13.390 --> 29:18.810 undoubted authors, that one must close his eyes not to see the evidence which points 29:18.810 --> 29:21.950 to their agency in that infamous transaction. 29:22.830 --> 29:26.150 And this comes from the footprints of the Jesuits, page 113. 29:26.550 --> 29:30.010 It's without question that the Counter-Reformation was based on the 29:30.010 --> 29:31.330 destruction of Protestantism. 29:31.330 --> 29:36.090 DS, if the Inquisition was responsible for the deaths of thousands and thousands of 29:36.090 --> 29:39.850 Protestants, and if the Jesuits were the ones behind the Inquisition, then there's 29:39.850 --> 29:44.330 no doubt that the Jesuits are clearly the greatest enemy of Protestantism. 29:44.550 --> 29:46.610 That was exactly the view of Nicolini. 29:47.250 --> 29:52.050 It was he who said, I cannot too much impress upon the minds of my readers that 29:52.050 --> 29:55.730 the Jesuits, by their very calling, by the very essence of their institution, 29:56.170 --> 29:59.590 are bound to seek by every means, right or wrong, the destruction of 29:59.590 --> 30:00.370 Protestantism. 30:00.370 --> 30:06.110 This is the condition of their existence, the duty they must fulfill, or cease to be 30:06.110 --> 30:06.630 Jesuits. 30:07.010 --> 30:10.870 They must be considered as the bitterest enemies of the Protestant faith. 30:11.690 --> 30:16.510 And this comes from History of the Jesuits, Preface, pages 3 and 4. 30:17.510 --> 30:21.390 Okay, up to this point you've emphasized that the Counter-Reformation had five 30:21.390 --> 30:25.270 steps, and they are, one, the formal recognition of the Order of the Jesuits, 30:26.130 --> 30:30.910 two, the actions and decree of the Council of Trent, three, the Catholic 30:30.910 --> 30:34.310 counter-system of prophetic interpretations, four, the establishment 30:34.310 --> 30:38.070 of the Index, five, the worldwide spread of persecution. 30:39.250 --> 30:43.230 And I believe that out of all five of these steps, the first and third steps 30:43.230 --> 30:44.350 have been the most destructive. 30:45.110 --> 30:48.050 The Jesuit Order itself makes things a reality for Rome. 30:48.310 --> 30:53.050 If the Jesuits had never come into being, Rome would have withered away, 30:53.170 --> 30:59.290 and next to the existence of Jesuitism, the Jesuit prophetic system have blinded 30:59.290 --> 31:03.950 the minds of Protestantism, so that Romanism can conquer all opposition. 31:04.790 --> 31:05.310 Do you agree? 31:05.690 --> 31:07.150 Oh, I completely agree. 31:07.930 --> 31:11.450 The existence of the Jesuits and their counter-prophetic systems are the most 31:11.450 --> 31:13.570 insidious means of destroying the truth. 31:14.430 --> 31:17.850 The killing of Protestants in the Inquisitions only confirmed to the 31:17.850 --> 31:20.290 Protestants that papal Rome is the Antichrist. 31:20.790 --> 31:25.950 The Jesuits realized that killing should be done through pawns, and they came to 31:25.950 --> 31:30.410 the conclusion that the best way to destroy an idea was with another idea. 31:30.950 --> 31:33.330 Of course, you are referring to the counter-system of prophetic 31:33.330 --> 31:34.370 interpretations. 31:35.330 --> 31:40.110 In the study of Futurism, you elaborated how the Jesuits created Futurism from the 31:40.110 --> 31:44.390 writings of certain church fathers, and of course, how these church fathers 31:44.390 --> 31:47.650 borrowed ideas from extra-biblical writings. 31:47.970 --> 31:52.390 Yes, and in light of our present study today, do you now realize why the Council 31:52.390 --> 31:56.370 of Trent was so important to papal Rome in order to create counter-prophetic systems? 31:56.590 --> 32:00.650 Yep, the Council of Trent justified extra-biblical writings and emphasized 32:00.650 --> 32:04.370 that truth be understood through the church fathers. 32:04.930 --> 32:07.910 The Beliar myth comes from the extra-biblical writings, and certain 32:07.910 --> 32:11.730 church fathers layered this myth on top of the true Bible. 32:12.370 --> 32:16.290 When the Jesuits created their counter-prophetic system, it was okay to 32:16.290 --> 32:20.130 endorse these myths because the Council of Trent declared the extra-biblical writings 32:20.130 --> 32:21.270 to be canonical. 32:21.270 --> 32:23.130 That is absolutely factual. 32:23.810 --> 32:27.630 And I emphasize to the audience that if they want to know the depths of the third 32:27.630 --> 32:31.690 step of the Counter-Reformation, they need to go to our study on Futurism. 32:32.050 --> 32:36.050 In that study, we demonstrate that Futurism is a Jesuit-constructed, 32:36.110 --> 32:39.910 pseudo-pigraphal-based system that was invented to destroy the Protestant 32:39.910 --> 32:41.470 interpretation of prophecy. 32:42.110 --> 32:44.970 Futurism really does not have genuine biblical roots. 32:45.590 --> 32:48.430 Its roots are extra-biblical writings and mythology. 32:48.430 --> 32:49.070 Right. 32:49.350 --> 32:53.350 And in the study of Futurism, the audience can find out the details about how 32:53.350 --> 32:57.330 Futurism was created and from what mythology it came from. 32:57.730 --> 33:01.390 But there is one particular issue that I want to discuss today. 33:02.070 --> 33:07.070 How did the Counter-Reformation ever succeed in infusing the Futurist system 33:07.070 --> 33:08.910 into Protestantism? 33:09.070 --> 33:12.810 The Counter-Reformation, with its Futurist system of prophetic interpretation, 33:13.490 --> 33:18.830 has successfully caused the subversion of much of Protestantism in both Europe and 33:18.830 --> 33:19.410 America. 33:20.070 --> 33:21.090 And how did this happen? 33:21.270 --> 33:22.370 Through the Jesuits. 33:23.370 --> 33:26.390 Many Evangelicals are now teaching Catholic doctrine. 33:27.190 --> 33:33.970 This is the reason Pope John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council between 1962-1965 33:33.970 --> 33:39.290 focused on Ecumenism and called the Evangelicals separate brethren. 33:40.210 --> 33:43.850 It was legal for the papacy to come to this conclusion about much of the 33:43.850 --> 33:48.350 Protestant world because much of the Protestant churches gave up the prophetic 33:48.350 --> 33:50.130 views of the Protestant Reformation. 33:50.590 --> 33:54.350 And they accepted the prophetic doctrines of the Counter-Reformation. 33:54.890 --> 33:55.350 I see. 33:55.770 --> 34:00.750 Well, is it true that the subversion of Protestantism really began to take form in 34:00.750 --> 34:02.250 Britain during the 19th century? 34:02.430 --> 34:02.810 Yes. 34:03.330 --> 34:09.010 History has recorded that in the 1830s, Samuel Raffi Maitland, James H. 34:09.150 --> 34:14.290 Todd, William Berg, and John Henry Newman and others of the Anglican Church were 34:14.290 --> 34:18.550 behind a great wave of Jesuit Futurism that swept through England. 34:19.490 --> 34:22.550 Dr. Froome explains this situation in the following. 34:23.090 --> 34:29.050 He says, But now for the first time, Catholic Futurism, initially projected by 34:29.050 --> 34:35.370 Ribera about 1585, began to obtain a foothold and then gain momentum among 34:35.370 --> 34:36.690 Protestants in Britain. 34:37.510 --> 34:41.990 Thus the same concept that sought to break the force of the Reformation view of the 34:41.990 --> 34:48.770 Papal Antichrist, by assuming a future infidel Antichrist, was again invoked to 34:48.770 --> 34:53.170 weaken the force of the great Evangelical Advent and Prophetic Awakening. 34:53.850 --> 34:58.890 Protestant expositors, some leaning toward Romans, some prompted by rationalistic 34:58.890 --> 35:04.870 concepts, joined hands in the attempt, perhaps unwittingly, to promote the Jesuit 35:04.870 --> 35:05.390 position. 35:06.070 --> 35:10.910 This, moreover, came to be tied inseparably with the Oxford Tractarian 35:10.910 --> 35:15.930 movement of the Anglican Church, wherein 90 tracts were scattered by the 35:15.930 --> 35:20.570 hundreds of thousands to favor Rome and to disprove the Protestant concept of 35:20.570 --> 35:20.940 Antichrist. 35:21.950 --> 35:27.690 And that comes from Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Volume 3, pages 655 and 656. 35:28.450 --> 35:33.290 Maitland and his companions are the progenitors of the great Oxford Futurist 35:33.290 --> 35:33.710 movement. 35:34.890 --> 35:41.210 Maitland made war on Historicism by putting out a 72-page pamphlet supporting 35:41.210 --> 35:42.010 Futurism. 35:42.630 --> 35:48.010 This pamphlet eventually transformed into 90 tracts that filled English 35:48.010 --> 35:49.770 Protestantism in the thousands. 35:50.730 --> 35:55.750 We should ask the question, who inspired the Oxford Tractarian movement? 35:56.330 --> 36:00.190 Dispensationalists will tell us that the leaders of this movement came to believe 36:00.190 --> 36:04.870 in Dispensational Futurism because they loved the Lord and decided to study their 36:04.870 --> 36:05.290 Bibles. 36:06.050 --> 36:07.350 Well, this is absolute garbage. 36:07.770 --> 36:11.870 I can guarantee that the Oxford movement was a Jesuit project in which the 36:11.870 --> 36:16.330 Counter-Reformation was being implemented into Protestantism for a long-term 36:16.330 --> 36:16.930 purpose. 36:17.170 --> 36:20.270 The Oxford movement definitely was a Jesuit project. 36:20.950 --> 36:25.030 I completely agree with Michael Day Semlin, where he emphasizes that 36:25.030 --> 36:28.390 Tractarianism is the continuance of the Counter-Reformation. 36:28.390 --> 36:34.130 He tells us in the following, the Reformed faith of Anglicans and Free Churchmen had 36:34.130 --> 36:38.310 been eroded over the centuries by the Counter-Reformation and particularly in 36:38.310 --> 36:43.890 the 19th century after the 1833 launch of the Oxford movement in the Anglican Church 36:43.890 --> 36:47.290 by John Henry Newman and the other Tractarians. 36:48.430 --> 36:51.990 And this comes from All Roads Lead to Rome, the Ecumenical Movement, 36:52.130 --> 36:52.830 page 20. 36:53.470 --> 36:55.450 Seems to never be any end to this issue. 36:55.450 --> 37:00.570 The Hermetic Church Fathers are always used to authenticate Catholicism. 37:00.810 --> 37:05.010 Yes, but when we know the ideological sources behind these Church Fathers, 37:05.170 --> 37:08.030 it becomes very easy to expose this elaborate game. 37:08.510 --> 37:13.790 The Jesuits personally deceived the Anglican clergy by taking them back to the 37:13.790 --> 37:15.510 early Church Fathers. 37:16.230 --> 37:20.190 Without a clear understanding of the extra-biblical background in the writings 37:20.190 --> 37:22.830 of the Church Fathers, this is very deceptive. 37:23.070 --> 37:24.790 Oh yes, very deceptive. 37:24.790 --> 37:29.230 The Jesuits took the scheme of Ribera and Bellarmine of going back to the early 37:29.230 --> 37:32.090 Fathers and personally deceived the Anglican clergy. 37:32.530 --> 37:37.810 The whole Anglican Tractarian movement not only adopted Jesuit theology from Trent, 37:37.990 --> 37:42.630 but they also had Jesuits to personally assist them in their conversion. 37:43.270 --> 37:44.850 The fact of the matter is clear. 37:45.290 --> 37:51.430 The whole Oxford movement with its birth of modern-day dispensational futurism was, 37:51.530 --> 37:55.430 from its inception, a movement going back to Rome. 37:55.710 --> 37:59.490 Well, it appears that modern-day dispensational futurism, when it first 37:59.490 --> 38:02.410 came into being, was a movement going back to Rome. 38:02.490 --> 38:03.810 That is exactly the case. 38:04.230 --> 38:08.930 For example, John Henry Newman, like Maitland, was one of the main people 38:08.930 --> 38:13.250 in the Tractarian movement and he held one of the highest positions in Anglicanism. 38:13.590 --> 38:14.950 Did he stay in Anglicanism? 38:15.190 --> 38:16.330 No, he did not. 38:16.910 --> 38:18.630 He converted to Catholicism. 38:18.630 --> 38:21.750 In fact, many Anglicans converted to Catholicism. 38:22.610 --> 38:23.370 A.J. 38:23.450 --> 38:25.190 Scott explains this situation. 38:25.690 --> 38:31.530 He says, Professors Pusey, Newman, Palmer, Keble, and Hook of the University 38:31.530 --> 38:36.310 of Oxford initiated the state of matters through their ogling with Catholicism, 38:36.570 --> 38:39.030 which afterwards got the name Puseyism. 38:39.450 --> 38:43.590 But Vice-Chancellor Newman led the way to the complete passing over to Rome, 38:43.590 --> 38:49.750 and in a short time, no fewer than 867 men of great consideration followed his 38:49.750 --> 38:56.610 example, among whom were some very wealthy peers, with 243 who had hitherto been 38:56.610 --> 38:57.850 Protestant clergymen. 38:58.370 --> 39:01.450 And this comes from the Jesuits, a complete history of their open and 39:01.450 --> 39:05.270 secret proceedings from the foundation of the Order to the present time, 39:05.310 --> 39:06.070 page 720. 39:07.690 --> 39:11.830 Why did Newman, along with many of the Anglican clergy, convert to Catholicism? 39:11.830 --> 39:15.930 They converted because the Jesuits undoubtedly deceived them into thinking 39:15.930 --> 39:20.770 that the Catholic Church, in its prophetic position, resembles the Church closest to 39:20.770 --> 39:21.230 Christ. 39:21.790 --> 39:26.690 The movement of Puseyism, or Tractarianism, was, from its inception, 39:26.970 --> 39:32.670 the scheme of the Jesuits to transform Protestantism back into Catholicism 39:32.670 --> 39:34.130 through subtleties. 39:35.130 --> 39:41.110 Very factually, does Walter Walsh say, much of that in the early history of 39:41.110 --> 39:44.770 Tractarianism was kept a profound secret? 39:45.990 --> 39:50.370 And concerning the leaders of Tractarianism, Walter Walsh continues, 39:51.090 --> 39:55.270 And the lives of these men are now to be read their most confidential 39:55.270 --> 40:00.690 communications, one with the other, in which their love of Popish doctrines 40:00.690 --> 40:06.410 and their desire for corporate reunion with Rome appear in the clearest possible 40:06.410 --> 40:06.890 light. 40:07.490 --> 40:11.610 And this comes from the Secret History of the Oxford Movement, page 184. 40:11.950 --> 40:16.090 It's clear that the purpose of the Tractarian Movement was to gradually 40:16.090 --> 40:21.590 subvert Protestantism until Protestantism as a whole becomes very similar to the 40:21.590 --> 40:22.070 Papacy. 40:22.330 --> 40:24.070 And what was the doctrine of this scheme? 40:24.830 --> 40:29.650 Jesuit Futurism was the doctrine of Tractarianism, which was on its way to 40:29.650 --> 40:31.850 becoming Dispensational Futurism. 40:32.890 --> 40:38.790 Now, prior to the Oxford Movement, a prophetic conference began about 1830 in 40:38.790 --> 40:41.370 Dublin, Ireland, known as Powerscourt Conference. 40:42.150 --> 40:44.750 Nelson Darby was the leader of this conference. 40:45.750 --> 40:49.330 He was purely Dispensational at the beginning of the conference. 40:49.610 --> 40:52.030 He did not have a set prophetic methodology. 40:52.790 --> 40:57.050 But this was soon to change as he was influenced by Edward Irving, who had 40:57.050 --> 40:59.490 accepted the Futurist system of the Jesuits. 41:00.130 --> 41:05.350 Interestingly, Irving already had a form of Dispensationalism prior to his dealing 41:05.350 --> 41:06.070 with Darby. 41:06.570 --> 41:12.410 So Irving already had a form of Dispensational Futurism prior to his 41:12.410 --> 41:13.950 entrance into Powerscourt. 41:15.090 --> 41:19.510 During the duration of Powerscourt Conference, Dispensational Futurism was 41:19.510 --> 41:22.210 being developed into its more modern form. 41:22.830 --> 41:27.590 And let's not forget the work of Maitland, Todd, and Berg, who were developing 90 41:27.590 --> 41:29.450 tracts supporting Futurism. 41:29.790 --> 41:32.550 Is it true that Irving created a Pentecostal Church? 41:32.550 --> 41:37.430 Yes, in 1832, during Powerscourt, he founded the Church called the Holy 41:37.430 --> 41:42.270 Catholic Apostolic Church, also known as the Church of the Irvingites. 41:43.090 --> 41:47.630 This could have been the very prototype of the Dispensational Pentecostal Churches of 41:47.630 --> 41:48.050 today. 41:48.790 --> 41:52.410 It is important to realize that at the Powerscourt Conference, under Darby and 41:52.410 --> 41:56.790 the Plymouth Brethren, Irving's Futurism was confirmed not only by the 41:56.790 --> 42:01.590 Jesuit-inspired tracts of Maitland, but a so-called manifestation of the Holy 42:01.590 --> 42:04.970 Spirit through a so-called gift of tongues took place. 42:05.690 --> 42:11.390 Between the years 1830 through 1832, a 15-year-old Scottish girl by the name of 42:11.390 --> 42:16.450 Margaret MacDonald allegedly spoke in tongues and received revelation that 42:16.450 --> 42:18.090 confirmed the Futurist system. 42:18.650 --> 42:24.310 So, DS, you mean to tell me that somebody speaking in tongues authenticated the 42:24.310 --> 42:29.530 works of the Jesuits, as though someone speaking in tongues over Dispensational 42:29.530 --> 42:31.610 Futurism sanctifies it? 42:31.970 --> 42:36.690 It is apparent that the whole situation with Futurism, from the days of the Beliar 42:36.690 --> 42:41.690 extra-biblical writings up to the Oxford Movement, is an ever-increasing ritual of 42:41.690 --> 42:42.290 stupidity. 42:42.410 --> 42:45.550 Isn't that the most ridiculous thing you ever heard? 42:45.670 --> 42:46.650 Not the most ridiculous. 42:46.790 --> 42:47.770 I'm sure you have more. 42:47.950 --> 42:51.830 Oh, but let me tell you about the cherry that goes on the Dispensational Futurist 42:51.830 --> 42:52.210 pie. 42:53.050 --> 42:56.910 MacDonald had a vision that Christ would come secretly and take his church out of 42:56.910 --> 42:57.330 the world. 42:58.150 --> 43:02.070 Samuel P. Treglas, who participated in the Powerscourt Conference, tells us the 43:02.070 --> 43:02.430 following. 43:02.950 --> 43:07.250 This is the doctrine of the secret coming of Christ, which many now preach as if it 43:07.250 --> 43:08.770 were the acknowledged truth of God. 43:09.290 --> 43:12.790 Not only is this doctrine of the coming of Christ not taught in the word of God, 43:13.010 --> 43:17.610 but if, in what has been previously said, there is any point of truth, then this 43:17.610 --> 43:21.230 whole system stands in distinct contradiction to what the scriptures 43:21.230 --> 43:21.770 reveal. 43:22.730 --> 43:26.950 When the theory of the secret coming of Christ was first brought forward about the 43:26.950 --> 43:32.570 year 1832, it was adopted with eagerness, it suited certain preconceived opinions, 43:33.010 --> 43:37.790 and was accepted by some as that which harmonized contradictory thoughts. 43:38.290 --> 43:42.390 I am not aware that there was any definite teaching that there should be a secret 43:42.390 --> 43:46.850 rapture of the church at a secret coming until this was given forth as an utterance 43:46.850 --> 43:52.230 in Mr. Irving's church, from what was then received as being the voice of the Spirit. 43:52.790 --> 43:56.970 But whether anyone ever asserted such a thing or not, it was from that supposed 43:56.970 --> 44:01.550 revelation that the modern doctrine and the modern phraseology respecting it 44:01.550 --> 44:02.050 arose. 44:02.490 --> 44:07.050 It came not from the Holy Scripture, but from that which falsely pretended to 44:07.050 --> 44:08.130 be the Spirit of God. 44:08.570 --> 44:12.910 And this comes from the hope of Christ's second coming, pages 31 and 32. 44:13.950 --> 44:18.370 In 1832 the cherry was placed on top of the dispensational futurist pie. 44:18.830 --> 44:22.290 This is the year that the concept of the two-faced second coming of Christ was 44:22.290 --> 44:22.670 born. 44:23.450 --> 44:25.990 And this year the following idea was put into effect. 44:26.350 --> 44:28.970 Christ's second coming will be divided into two parts. 44:29.430 --> 44:32.630 The first part will be a secret rapture of the church before the seven-year 44:32.630 --> 44:33.230 tribulation. 44:33.770 --> 44:37.930 The second part will be the glorious return of Christ with the church back to 44:37.930 --> 44:39.450 the earth after the seven years. 44:39.450 --> 44:44.490 Thus the secret rapture concept was made to justify the futurist system. 44:44.670 --> 44:46.630 And people believe this nonsense. 44:46.850 --> 44:47.470 Oh yes. 44:47.570 --> 44:51.550 Yes, a good chunk of the evangelical world believes all this. 44:51.950 --> 44:53.250 They believe in the secret rapture. 44:53.370 --> 44:55.350 They believe in the dispensational futurism. 44:55.870 --> 44:58.170 Ultimately they've been subverted by the Jesuits. 44:58.750 --> 45:00.930 The counter-reformation has been very successful. 45:01.170 --> 45:05.190 Now, before we move on to other issues, can you explain in brevity how futurism 45:05.190 --> 45:07.470 has become successful in America? 45:07.470 --> 45:08.430 George M. 45:08.650 --> 45:10.090 Marston explains this issue. 45:10.870 --> 45:15.130 This new form of pre-millennial teaching imported from England, first spread in 45:15.130 --> 45:18.630 America through prophecy conferences where the Bible was studied intently. 45:19.390 --> 45:23.970 Summer conferences, a newly popular form of vacation in the age of the trains, 45:24.070 --> 45:25.470 were particularly effective. 45:26.130 --> 45:28.230 Most importantly, Dwight L. 45:28.290 --> 45:32.750 Moody had sympathies with the broad outlines of dispensationalism and had his 45:32.750 --> 45:36.910 closest lieutenants, dispensationalist leaders such as Reuben A. 45:36.950 --> 45:39.990 Torrey, James M. 45:40.090 --> 45:41.830 Gray, C.I. 45:41.910 --> 45:43.950 Schofield, William J. 45:44.310 --> 45:45.750 Erdman, A.C. 45:45.870 --> 45:47.470 Dixon, and A.J. 45:47.570 --> 45:47.890 Gordon. 45:48.470 --> 45:53.990 These men were activists, evangelists, who promoted a host of Bible conferences 45:53.990 --> 45:56.690 and other missionary and evangelistic efforts. 45:56.690 --> 46:01.710 They also gave the dispensationalist movement institutional preeminence by 46:01.710 --> 46:05.870 assuming leadership of the new Bible institutes, such as the Moody Bible 46:05.870 --> 46:11.990 Institute, 1886, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, 1907, and the Philadelphia 46:11.990 --> 46:14.110 College of the Bible, 1914. 46:14.910 --> 46:20.150 The network of related institutes that soon sprang up became the nucleus for much 46:20.150 --> 46:23.710 of the important fundamentalist movement of the 20th century. 46:23.710 --> 46:28.090 And this comes from Understanding Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism, 46:28.210 --> 46:28.890 page 40. 46:30.010 --> 46:34.670 Now, out of the people that were just cited as important individuals for 46:34.670 --> 46:39.990 continuing the work of Tractarianism in America, Cyrus Ingersoll Schofield becomes 46:39.990 --> 46:41.690 very important in our analysis. 46:42.490 --> 46:47.850 Between 1859 through 1874, Darby visited America several times. 46:48.390 --> 46:52.730 During this time frame, he managed to inspire Cyrus Ingersoll Schofield. 46:53.570 --> 46:56.230 Schofield made Dispensationalism popular. 46:56.850 --> 47:00.870 Cyrus Schofield was one of the most important figureheads in shaping the 47:00.870 --> 47:02.210 Southern Baptist Church. 47:02.890 --> 47:05.470 And he changed the face of Protestantism in America. 47:06.070 --> 47:10.890 Schofield, after studying with Darby, took Dispensational Futurism and polished 47:10.890 --> 47:11.810 it up even more. 47:12.070 --> 47:15.170 He took out what appeared to be incongruities in the theology. 47:15.510 --> 47:19.510 He then bound this new theology into a Bible called the Schofield Reference 47:19.510 --> 47:19.930 Bible. 47:19.930 --> 47:24.910 Much of Protestantism today has accepted this new theology as being the Word of 47:24.910 --> 47:25.270 God. 47:25.790 --> 47:30.410 And I can guarantee you that the Schofield Reference Bible allowed Dispensational 47:30.410 --> 47:33.130 Futurism to spread throughout America like wildfire. 47:33.910 --> 47:38.870 He has too far many evangelicals today don't realize who was behind the work of 47:38.870 --> 47:41.970 Maitland, Todd, Berg, and the whole Tractarian movement. 47:42.630 --> 47:46.890 The reason that Futurism made its way to Irving and Darby, and later Schofield, 47:47.030 --> 47:49.590 is because it flourished in the Anglican Church. 47:49.590 --> 47:55.170 And the reason Futurism flourished in Anglicanism is for the simple reason that 47:55.170 --> 47:57.250 the Jesuits were personally behind this work. 47:57.770 --> 48:03.110 Today we have a so-called authentication of Jesuit Futurism through the Worldwide 48:03.110 --> 48:03.970 Tongues Movement. 48:04.690 --> 48:08.670 This was prototyped in the Irvingite Church with its Pentecostal authentication 48:08.670 --> 48:12.450 of the private revelation of McDonald, the secret rapture. 48:12.450 --> 48:16.250 From one side down the other, the Jesuits are the architects of modern-day 48:16.250 --> 48:21.310 Dispensational Futurism and its new baptism of Neo-Pentecostalism. 48:21.570 --> 48:26.450 D.S., the General of the Jesuit Order is said to be the most powerful man on Earth. 48:26.830 --> 48:29.450 Yes, and Queensborough reveals this power in the following... 48:30.370 --> 48:34.810 The General has usually stood towards the Pope much as a powerful grand feudatory of 48:34.810 --> 48:39.490 the Middle Ages did towards a weak titular Lord Paramount, or perhaps as the captain 48:39.490 --> 48:44.830 of a splendid host of free champions did towards a potentate with whom he chose to 48:44.830 --> 48:46.830 take temporary and precarious service. 48:47.310 --> 48:52.430 And the shrewd Roman populace have long shown their recognition of this fact by 48:52.430 --> 48:57.530 styling these two great personages severally, the White Pope and the Black 48:57.530 --> 48:57.870 Pope. 48:57.870 --> 49:03.550 In truth, the society has never, from the very first, obeyed the Pope 49:03.550 --> 49:08.010 whenever its will and his happen to run counter to each other. 49:08.470 --> 49:11.890 And that comes from Occult Theocracy, Volume 1, page 311. 49:12.770 --> 49:15.090 Cusack tells us... 49:15.090 --> 49:19.710 In Roman Catholic circles, it is well known that the Black Pope is the term used 49:19.710 --> 49:21.310 for the General of the Jesuits. 49:21.930 --> 49:27.090 As the Pope is always robed in white, and the General in black, the contrast is 49:27.090 --> 49:27.710 obvious. 49:28.390 --> 49:33.310 But those Romanists who do not greatly love the Jesuits, and their number is not 49:33.310 --> 49:38.390 limited, use the term as indicating that the Black Pope rules the White Pope. 49:38.870 --> 49:42.430 And that comes from The Black Pope, A History of the Jesuits, page 14. 49:42.430 --> 49:44.430 Note this clearly... 49:45.130 --> 49:50.030 The Jesuit Malachi Martin agrees that the Jesuit General has great power even in 49:50.030 --> 49:50.710 modern times. 49:51.550 --> 49:52.910 We read... 49:52.910 --> 49:58.410 By this early spring of 1981, for example, John Paul had already felt the effect, 49:58.750 --> 50:03.730 firsthand, of the enormous power that had accursed over centuries to the Father 50:03.730 --> 50:06.110 General of the Society of Jesus. 50:06.110 --> 50:12.210 So great is that power in Rome, and in the world at large, and so widely 50:12.210 --> 50:19.330 is it recognized that whoever holds the office of Jesuit General also holds the 50:19.330 --> 50:21.870 unofficial title of the Black Pope. 50:22.410 --> 50:24.550 And that comes from the Jesuits, page 80. 50:24.750 --> 50:29.510 DS, who carries out the serious espionage of the Jesuit order? 50:29.770 --> 50:33.130 I will answer that question through the following statements from Queenborough. 50:33.710 --> 50:34.380 We read... 50:34.380 --> 50:39.460 There are novices, scholastics, temporal coadjutors, professed of the 50:39.460 --> 50:41.980 three vows, and professed of the four vows. 50:42.760 --> 50:45.420 And that comes from Occult Theocracy, page 308. 50:45.800 --> 50:48.840 Queenborough also emphasizes... 50:48.840 --> 50:52.840 The fourth vow is one of special allegiance to the Pope, promising to go in 50:52.840 --> 50:58.160 obedience to him for missionary purposes, whensoever and whithersoever he may order, 50:58.740 --> 51:01.260 a pledge seriously qualified in practice. 51:01.420 --> 51:03.570 And that comes from Occult Theocracy, page 309. 51:04.430 --> 51:08.730 Now, I would like to draw your attention to the extreme oath of the fourth vow. 51:09.350 --> 51:13.930 This gives us an idea of how serious the Jesuit order is in their purpose. 51:14.610 --> 51:18.070 And I'm going to read the extreme oath of the fourth vow in part. 51:19.250 --> 51:22.430 I, and there's a blank here for the name that goes in. 51:22.810 --> 51:27.230 I, blank, now in the presence of Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Blessed 51:27.230 --> 51:31.730 Michael the Archangel, Blessed St. John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles, 51:31.790 --> 51:35.710 St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the saints and sacred hosts of heaven, and to you, 51:35.790 --> 51:40.370 my ghostly Father, the Superior General of the Society of Jesus, founded by St. 51:40.590 --> 51:45.250 Ignatius Loyola, in the pontificate of Paul III, and continue to the present, 51:45.570 --> 51:48.050 due by the womb of the Virgin, the Matrix of God, and the Holy Spirit. 51:48.050 --> 51:51.590 I, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear that His Holiness the 51:51.590 --> 51:55.730 Pope is Christ's Vice-Regent, and is the true and holy head of the Catholic Church.
