WEBVTT 00:01.920 --> 00:10.660 Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank Thee this evening hour for this house where we are met 00:10.660 --> 00:20.400 tonight to worship Thee in spirit and in truth, to listen to Thy Word read, and to declare the truth 00:20.400 --> 00:23.780 and contend for the faith. 00:24.450 --> 00:31.880 We pray that tonight Thou wouldst bless Thy holy Word to our hearts. 00:32.320 --> 00:37.280 We thank Thee that the entrance of Thy Word giveth light. 00:37.880 --> 00:44.580 And we pray that tonight man and woman may get light from Thy precious Word. 00:45.220 --> 00:53.620 We live in a day of darkness, a day of deception, a day of deceit, a day of shallowness among the 00:53.620 --> 01:00.620 people of God, a day of light religion, a day of frivolity in God's house. 01:01.140 --> 01:09.600 O God, we pray that tonight as we listen to Thy truth, that Thy truth shall set us free and we 01:09.600 --> 01:14.480 will know that freedom and emancipation that is of the Lord. 01:14.480 --> 01:25.300 We pray tonight to give us understanding of the times, that we'll know what Israel has to do in 01:25.300 --> 01:26.500 this evil day. 01:26.860 --> 01:36.920 And we pray that we'll stand true and faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ and to His truth. 01:36.920 --> 01:45.140 We pray, our God and Father, that Thou wouldst take our thanks for Thy blessing upon us this day, 01:45.740 --> 01:53.580 for Thy presence this morning in the prison service, for Thy presence in this house as we 01:53.580 --> 01:57.320 minister the Word, for Thy rich presence in Bellomena. 01:58.200 --> 02:05.100 Thank Thee for many people here in the meeting tonight, and they were in Bellomena this afternoon 02:05.100 --> 02:08.640 and got gloriously saved by God's grace. 02:09.140 --> 02:13.280 And this is their first service in God's house as a believer. 02:14.140 --> 02:17.560 And your joy of God is upon them. 02:18.000 --> 02:23.400 We pray for that dear woman from Dungannon and her daughter who came to Christ this afternoon. 02:23.780 --> 02:28.940 We thank Thee, our God and Father, for those that came last Sunday night. 02:28.940 --> 02:31.780 There's a breath of revival amongst us. 02:32.260 --> 02:35.760 There's the sound of abundance of reign. 02:36.260 --> 02:45.200 But, O God, we pray that Thou wouldst release Thy power this evening and grant that many, many may 02:45.200 --> 02:47.400 be the slain of the Lord. 02:47.900 --> 02:50.040 Remember this island home of ours. 02:50.600 --> 02:54.640 Remember this province that we love, land of our fathers. 02:55.160 --> 02:57.700 Give us not over as a prey to our enemies. 02:58.520 --> 03:02.440 Send to this land a great revival of true religion. 03:03.200 --> 03:10.180 And grant, O God, that we will see in this day a great and a wonderful deliverance. 03:10.840 --> 03:11.640 Smite Popery. 03:12.240 --> 03:13.900 Smite the ecumenical movement. 03:14.580 --> 03:16.040 Smite the deceivers. 03:16.560 --> 03:18.460 Smite the Irish Republican Army. 03:18.460 --> 03:22.200 Bring to naught the plans of wicked men against us. 03:22.560 --> 03:28.940 And grant that the Lord may deliver His people and that this land may have upon it the signal 03:28.940 --> 03:31.200 blessing of Almighty God. 03:31.720 --> 03:40.860 We thank Thee that we can say from the depths of our hearts, God is on the throne and He doeth all 03:40.860 --> 03:41.720 things well. 03:42.220 --> 03:45.780 So be with us this night for Christ's sake. 03:45.780 --> 03:48.680 And the people of God said, Amen. 03:49.180 --> 03:50.000 You may be seated. 03:55.050 --> 04:05.430 We are going to read the Word of God now as we find it recorded for us in II Thessalonians. 04:12.160 --> 04:17.540 II Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 1. 04:21.430 --> 04:25.370 There are Bibles in front of you and the pure make use of them. 04:25.370 --> 04:29.330 They are there for your use and edification. 04:32.760 --> 04:37.240 II Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 1. 04:38.240 --> 04:48.860 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together 04:48.860 --> 05:02.540 unto Him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor 05:02.540 --> 05:09.400 by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 05:11.040 --> 05:23.480 Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away 05:23.480 --> 05:23.980 first. 05:23.980 --> 05:35.940 The great apostasy precedes the second coming of our Lord and Jesus, the coming of our Lord and 05:35.940 --> 05:38.240 Savior Jesus Christ. 05:40.280 --> 05:41.580 Falling away. 05:41.820 --> 05:45.380 From those Greek words we get the word apostasy. 05:46.680 --> 05:47.580 Apostasy. 05:48.040 --> 05:48.820 Falling away. 05:49.220 --> 05:51.340 A departure from the truth. 05:51.340 --> 05:56.460 And that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 05:57.520 --> 06:07.960 He opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as 06:07.960 --> 06:15.620 God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 06:15.620 --> 06:23.560 Remember ye not that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 06:24.560 --> 06:31.140 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 06:31.140 --> 06:43.840 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only he who now let it will let, until he be taken 06:43.840 --> 06:45.440 out of the way. 06:45.440 --> 06:56.820 Then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and 06:56.820 --> 07:01.200 shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. 07:01.200 --> 07:16.300 Even him whose coming is after the working of sin, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders, and 07:16.300 --> 07:27.040 with all deceivableness of unrighteousness, in them that carry, because they receive not the love 07:27.040 --> 07:31.260 of the truth, that they might be saved. 07:32.260 --> 07:43.580 For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. 07:44.270 --> 07:54.040 In the original adapted article, it is there that they should believe the lie, that they all might 07:54.040 --> 08:02.740 be damned to believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 08:03.420 --> 08:09.180 And God shall add his blessing to this reading from the infallible book. 08:09.180 --> 08:12.480 For his name's sake, amen. 08:16.420 --> 08:17.720 Let's bow our heads. 08:18.580 --> 08:27.080 I take the promised Holy Ghost, the blessed power of Pentecost, to fill me to the uttermost. 08:27.280 --> 08:33.940 I take, thank God he undertakes for me, and the people of God's sake. 08:34.360 --> 08:34.920 Amen. 08:34.920 --> 08:46.060 There is no doubt about it that this is an age of deception. 08:48.100 --> 08:54.120 It is a great thing that we are not searching for authority today. 08:55.600 --> 09:06.420 It is a great thing that our authority is the inspired, inerring, infallible Word of God. 09:06.420 --> 09:16.920 That we don't need to turn to any preacher, to any parson or priest, to any church body, to any 09:16.920 --> 09:24.060 church council, to any important ecclesiastical figure. 09:25.060 --> 09:34.240 That we don't turn to hear the so-called infallible voice of a pope, or an archbishop, or 09:34.240 --> 09:35.020 anyone else. 09:35.520 --> 09:42.900 That we have the sure authority of God's Holy Word. 09:43.760 --> 09:53.180 I don't know what we would do in this age, crazy age, when men are running here and there, and all 09:53.180 --> 09:57.620 sorts of religious deceptions are abroad. 09:58.020 --> 10:05.300 If we hadn't the sure foundation, the sheet anchor of God's eternal truth. 10:06.200 --> 10:11.580 Let us turn to the second chapter of II Thessalonians. 10:13.560 --> 10:28.320 And you will notice that in verse ten, it says, "...with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in 10:28.320 --> 10:40.440 them that perish." I don't know any better description of the whole Roman Catholic system 10:40.440 --> 10:44.240 than those words of Holy Scripture. 10:45.800 --> 10:57.120 The practices and principles of Popery are with all deceivableness of unrighteousness. 10:59.760 --> 11:04.860 At this morning service, a lady handed me a tape. 11:06.720 --> 11:15.840 She said it was by one of the Baptist preachers, who didn't want any protest made, when the pope 11:15.840 --> 11:18.960 was going to come to Northern Ireland. 11:20.180 --> 11:27.920 And wrote in that line, first of all in the Irish Independent Press, and then in other newspapers. 11:28.920 --> 11:33.220 I was amused when I listened to this tape. 11:34.860 --> 11:42.980 The preacher said that no Christian had any right to protest. 11:44.460 --> 11:50.640 And that no preacher had any right to preach about the pope. 11:51.640 --> 12:01.660 And he went on to say that he didn't know one scripture in the Bible that would countenance 12:01.660 --> 12:03.940 public protest. 12:04.980 --> 12:08.560 I don't know what Bible he reached. 12:09.400 --> 12:18.920 But I know this, that when you get a prominent evangelical Baptist preacher telling his 12:18.920 --> 12:29.720 congregation that no Christian has any right to protest, that no preacher should preach against 12:29.720 --> 12:44.080 the pope, and that the Bible nowhere countenances public protest against her, then I believe that we 12:44.080 --> 12:48.880 are surely and most certainly in the last days. 12:50.660 --> 12:53.620 Let me just say this tonight. 12:54.540 --> 12:58.600 That preacher must never have read the Gospels. 13:00.400 --> 13:07.380 He must never have studied the life of the greatest preacher of all. 13:07.380 --> 13:10.660 He was the greatest preacher of all. 13:11.220 --> 13:14.040 None other than the Lord Jesus Christ. 13:15.280 --> 13:24.080 Did the Lord Jesus Christ believe in public protest and public demonstration? 13:25.240 --> 13:25.860 Yes, sir. 13:27.220 --> 13:29.000 He went into the temple. 13:30.300 --> 13:34.360 He took a scourge of court. 13:35.360 --> 13:38.100 He prepared a lash. 13:39.380 --> 13:45.420 He tumbled over the temple of those that had polluted God's temple. 13:46.600 --> 13:50.140 He laid his whip upon their backs. 13:51.220 --> 13:58.000 And he cleansed the temple of God publicly from defilement. 13:59.040 --> 14:01.000 And he didn't do it once. 14:01.660 --> 14:04.220 He did it twice in his ministry. 14:04.860 --> 14:11.060 If you know anything about the life of the Lord Jesus, you will know he cleansed the temple at the 14:11.060 --> 14:12.500 commencement of his ministry. 14:12.920 --> 14:16.820 And he cleansed it again at the end of his ministry. 14:17.240 --> 14:21.980 So he commenced his ministry with a public protest. 14:22.900 --> 14:26.360 And ended his ministry with a public protest. 14:28.020 --> 14:29.960 What about Paul? 14:31.120 --> 14:33.020 He was a good preacher, wasn't he? 14:33.720 --> 14:39.300 He wrote more of the New Testament than any other human writer under the agency of the Holy Spirit. 14:40.040 --> 14:45.500 He was the first man to organize a jail sit-in. 14:46.200 --> 14:47.040 Did you know that? 14:48.520 --> 14:49.700 A jail sit-in. 14:50.440 --> 14:53.120 You see, they put them into prison wrongfully. 14:53.120 --> 14:58.020 And then they wanted to slip them out in the morning and get them away. 14:58.760 --> 15:00.080 But he said, I'm not going. 15:00.840 --> 15:02.720 I'm sitting tight in this prison. 15:03.440 --> 15:04.960 And they said, what will we do? 15:05.300 --> 15:13.480 He said, the judges that put me in wrongfully will have to come from their magistrates' bench and 15:13.480 --> 15:19.860 walk all the way to the prison and come in and say, please, Paul, come out. 15:21.060 --> 15:23.740 He was a bit of a protester, wasn't he? 15:24.080 --> 15:27.080 I wonder what the Baptist pastor would do with Paul. 15:27.860 --> 15:31.060 I'm sure he wouldn't want a jailbird in his pulpit anyway. 15:31.680 --> 15:34.320 But Paul was worse than a jailbird. 15:34.700 --> 15:36.700 He organized a sit-in in prison. 15:36.820 --> 15:41.000 I was so glad to get out, I didn't want to organize any sit-in. 15:42.640 --> 15:55.260 The whole of the Bible tells us, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, 15:55.820 --> 15:58.500 but rather reprove them. 15:59.340 --> 16:06.880 And the word in the originals, publicly reprove them, publicly take them to task. 16:08.800 --> 16:19.800 No wonder certain sections of the Baptist Church today are in a state of bewilderment, not knowing 16:19.800 --> 16:24.660 what potpourri is about and what our Protestant heritage is about. 16:25.380 --> 16:32.360 I had a young man with me, gloriously converted from the Roman Catholic Church, who is a member of 16:32.360 --> 16:39.540 the Baptist Church, and he says, I have been saved from this system of Romanism. 16:40.240 --> 16:43.740 God has delivered me from the lies of potpourri. 16:44.320 --> 16:51.120 And here I discover that the people I'm fellowshipping with don't realize the darkness and 16:51.120 --> 16:55.660 idolatry and priestcraft and superstition of this system. 16:55.660 --> 17:05.740 So we would do well to remind ourselves tonight that it is the duty of every believer, and it is 17:05.740 --> 17:13.940 the bounden duty of God's servant to stand in the evil day. 17:16.580 --> 17:24.000 Of course, many people don't want to stand because of the reproach that comes as a result of the 17:24.000 --> 17:24.240 stand. 17:26.000 --> 17:29.860 Last night, our building, as you know, was stolen. 17:30.060 --> 17:32.120 One of the plate-glass windows was smashed. 17:32.940 --> 17:38.420 The authorities told me this morning that they would expect many more attacks on this building 17:38.420 --> 17:45.620 during the Pope's visit, and that probably this would be a mounting campaign of such things. 17:46.460 --> 17:48.660 It wouldn't at all surprise me. 17:49.900 --> 17:57.060 Let us not think that that is anything, because the Church of Rome, if it had its full power, 17:57.620 --> 18:03.600 wouldn't break windows, but would break the bones of the people of God, as she did in the past. 18:03.740 --> 18:07.280 Don't think there's any change in the Roman Catholic Church. 18:08.000 --> 18:12.060 There's another matter that I want to mention this evening by way of penance. 18:12.060 --> 18:17.360 I welcome every voice that's raised against Romans. 18:18.060 --> 18:23.360 I welcome every voice that's raised against the Pope's visit. 18:24.560 --> 18:31.360 I welcome every voice that's raised against the machinations of Jesuitry. 18:32.360 --> 18:43.760 But I must say, I am greatly disappointed when those voices are not loud and clear and strong the 18:43.760 --> 18:44.820 way they ought to be. 18:45.240 --> 18:52.540 A group of Irish Presbyterian ministers and laymen who were first organized for complete withdrawal 18:52.540 --> 19:00.400 from the World Council of Churches, and then changed to an organization of concerted witness to 19:00.400 --> 19:07.040 the Reformed faith within the Irish Presbyterian Church, had an advert in the newsletter yesterday. 19:08.080 --> 19:13.120 The advert was drawing attention to the statements of the Confession of Faith. 19:14.580 --> 19:25.180 But what amazed me, that when they referred to chapter twenty-five of the Confession, they 19:25.180 --> 19:31.580 stopped their quotation before it came to the bite. 19:32.720 --> 19:39.230 And they put in, there is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ. 19:40.080 --> 19:40.880 Full stop. 19:40.880 --> 19:43.900 What's the rest of the Confession? 19:45.140 --> 19:55.900 Nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense behead the wrath, but is that antichrist, that man of sin and 19:55.900 --> 20:05.000 son of perdition, that exalted himself in the Church against Christ and all that is called God. 20:05.000 --> 20:12.220 Surely that was a most appropriate thing to put in, if there were protests in the Pope's ministry. 20:13.120 --> 20:16.720 But of course with that, there is a reproach. 20:17.800 --> 20:25.060 And then I was greatly disturbed when Mr. Neely was questioned on downtime radio. 20:26.240 --> 20:33.960 And when it was said, you say it's a sin, and he said, well that's maybe pitching it too high. 20:33.960 --> 20:37.420 Although you're coping our own document. 20:37.660 --> 20:39.720 He said, I would rather say it was sinful. 20:41.500 --> 20:47.860 Well I think if you take the proper meaning of sinful, it's really worse than sin for it's full 20:47.860 --> 20:48.360 of sin. 20:49.360 --> 20:56.420 But I don't understand people, if you're not going to fight this battle, why start off drawing the 20:56.420 --> 20:56.740 sword? 20:58.140 --> 21:07.840 I have had Swiss television, Austrian television, German television, and Italian television. 21:08.580 --> 21:15.080 And of course, the most Catholic country of all, RTE television with me. 21:15.780 --> 21:17.880 And they all bring it up. 21:18.520 --> 21:22.180 Why do you say the Pope is the Antichrist? 21:22.180 --> 21:28.740 I said to a German reporter this week, did you ever hear of a German called Martin Luther? 21:29.120 --> 21:30.940 And she blinked. 21:31.000 --> 21:31.680 She blinked. 21:32.000 --> 21:34.260 She didn't even know the history of her own country. 21:35.140 --> 21:43.040 You would think that Ian Pearsley was the first person that ever called the Pope the Antichrist. 21:43.040 --> 21:51.840 You'd think that I was the evil man, and in my evil mind, a hybrid of Romanism coined this 21:51.840 --> 21:52.180 phrase. 21:53.200 --> 22:01.500 It's about time we knew what the teaching, the traditional teaching, the biblical teaching, the 22:01.500 --> 22:05.360 Christian teaching of the Protestant Churches were. 22:06.400 --> 22:15.040 And I trust that we as a people will be well instructed in the faith and will know where we 22:15.040 --> 22:16.800 stand on these issues. 22:18.900 --> 22:22.580 Now, the Pope is coming to do two things. 22:23.900 --> 22:26.520 We're told tonight he's going to talk about the H-Block. 22:27.260 --> 22:30.400 Well, I want to say I don't want the Pope in Northern Ireland. 22:31.160 --> 22:35.680 But I really believe I have... 22:37.810 --> 22:44.250 He's going to make some reference. 22:44.730 --> 22:46.070 He has been briefed. 22:46.470 --> 22:48.450 We read by the Cardinal. 22:53.210 --> 23:00.250 Let me say to you tonight, there are two things, and I'm coming now to the religious protest that 23:00.250 --> 23:00.830 we must make. 23:00.890 --> 23:04.470 There are two things that the Pope is going to do by us this evening. 23:05.190 --> 23:07.850 He's not coming to Ulster, thank God. 23:08.530 --> 23:13.690 Although Bill Jeffrey has announced that the Pope has invited him to meet him in Drogheda. 23:14.690 --> 23:17.830 And he's going down, or is it Dundalk or Drogheda? 23:18.770 --> 23:20.470 He's going down to Drogheda. 23:21.430 --> 23:26.390 Maybe they'll allow Bill to carry the head of the blessed Oliver Plunkett. 23:26.690 --> 23:28.030 Maybe they'll give him that job. 23:29.690 --> 23:35.090 And he's going to invite the Pope in the name of the Ulster people. 23:35.990 --> 23:39.610 With the soap coupons that he got. 23:39.970 --> 23:42.650 He's going to bring them down and give them to the Pope. 23:43.270 --> 23:45.730 And invite them to come to Northern Ireland. 23:46.030 --> 23:50.350 Who gave Bill Jeffrey the right to invite the Pope to come to the United Kingdom? 23:51.130 --> 23:58.430 He couldn't even gather up enough soap coupons to wash his face properly. 23:59.310 --> 24:03.050 And then he says he's going to invite the Pope. 24:03.130 --> 24:03.830 He's going down. 24:04.330 --> 24:06.010 Of course, that's the Alliance Party. 24:06.370 --> 24:09.450 The Alliance Party is only an appendix of potpourri anyway. 24:09.890 --> 24:10.890 That's all it is. 24:11.610 --> 24:17.830 But let me say, there are two things that are going to happen. 24:17.830 --> 24:19.990 The spending of eighteen million. 24:20.450 --> 24:24.530 That's what the reckon it's going to cost to bring them here and take them away again. 24:25.030 --> 24:25.870 Three days visit. 24:26.850 --> 24:28.110 Six million a day. 24:28.630 --> 24:29.430 Pretty good money. 24:30.090 --> 24:32.150 You could get a good a tale for that, I'm sure. 24:32.770 --> 24:33.890 Now let me say this. 24:37.270 --> 24:38.890 There are two things going to happen. 24:40.210 --> 24:40.950 Number one. 24:43.410 --> 24:48.930 Every place the Pope goes, there is going to be a mass. 24:52.220 --> 25:04.340 And that mass is going to be publicly demonstrated across the Irish Republic, and no doubt across our 25:04.340 --> 25:08.640 television sets, for the BBC will be tripping over themselves to get it. 25:09.220 --> 25:15.720 Even our five o'clock news reports now is all about knock. 25:15.720 --> 25:17.920 It would really sicken you, wouldn't it? 25:18.540 --> 25:20.800 Think that we were part of the Republic. 25:21.500 --> 25:24.260 I don't want to knock, knock who's there. 25:24.700 --> 25:28.380 I do not want nothing to do with it. 25:29.240 --> 25:32.680 But anyway, there is going to be the mass. 25:33.500 --> 25:42.560 And secondly, the main reason why the Pope is coming is to celebrate the centenary of the 25:42.560 --> 25:46.260 supposed apparition of Mary at Knock. 25:47.300 --> 25:49.720 So two things are going to happen. 25:50.800 --> 25:56.840 The central act of Roman worship, the mass, is going to be given great prominence. 25:58.140 --> 26:01.800 Mary is going to be given great prominence. 26:02.550 --> 26:08.280 And running parallel with that, the Pope as the vicar of Christ. 26:08.820 --> 26:12.400 The word vicar means substitute for Christ. 26:12.780 --> 26:18.020 I have in my hand a little leaflet handed out at all masses today in the Roman Catholic... 26:18.020 --> 26:19.880 I wasn't there one time. 26:20.960 --> 26:22.440 It was handed out today. 26:25.220 --> 26:27.360 And there is a prayer. 26:28.680 --> 26:38.180 Mary, Mother of the Church, intercede for our Holy Father John Paul, and for all the people of 26:38.180 --> 26:44.660 Ireland, that his visit may bring us closer to your Son, our Lord Jesus. 26:45.420 --> 26:45.760 Amen. 26:46.760 --> 26:51.560 So they are all called to offer this prayer to Mary. 26:51.560 --> 27:03.760 And then it tells us here, with great joy, we welcome our Holy Father, Pope John Paul, as he, 27:04.340 --> 27:08.520 Christ's vicar on earth, travels through our country. 27:09.120 --> 27:12.100 He speaks to us in Christ's name. 27:13.000 --> 27:15.980 He who hears you, hears me. 27:15.980 --> 27:20.140 Luke's Gospel, chapter 10, verse 16. 27:20.920 --> 27:27.760 Rome is good at mistranslating and misinterpreting God's precious Word. 27:28.080 --> 27:29.340 So we have these three things. 27:30.000 --> 27:39.620 Could I just say to you this evening, as firmly as I possibly can, that I totally and absolutely 27:39.620 --> 27:45.480 repudiate the claims that the Pope makes about this person. 27:48.780 --> 27:52.940 There is a vicar of Christ on earth. 27:53.960 --> 27:59.860 The vicar of Christ on earth, Christ of herself, is God the Holy Ghost. 28:00.820 --> 28:04.340 This is the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. 28:05.380 --> 28:11.020 If I go not away, the Comforter will not come. 28:11.900 --> 28:15.660 But if I go away, the Comforter will come. 28:16.360 --> 28:22.500 And the only vicar of Christ on earth is God the Holy Ghost. 28:22.500 --> 28:34.080 And anybody who claims to be God the Holy Ghost, or the vicar of Christ on earth, has committed the 28:34.080 --> 28:35.580 unpardonable sin. 28:36.760 --> 28:37.920 Let's get this straight. 28:38.620 --> 28:39.980 You read the Word of God. 28:40.120 --> 28:42.960 Utter blasphemy for anybody to claim. 28:42.960 --> 28:51.780 So I could not have anything to do with a religious leader who claims to be in the place of 28:51.780 --> 28:55.800 Christ and to do the work of God the Holy Ghost. 28:58.020 --> 29:00.040 Now, what do we find? 29:00.720 --> 29:04.760 We find that the academical churches are going to meet him. 29:06.060 --> 29:13.740 The archbishops and bishops of the Church of Ireland, they say it is a purely social occasion. 29:14.700 --> 29:21.120 I do not know what sort of wine they are going to take, or what sort of cocktails will be passed 29:21.120 --> 29:24.500 out, but they are going to make it a social occasion. 29:25.120 --> 29:31.160 He is going to meet them before the Mass, and I am informed that they are all going to attend the 29:31.160 --> 29:34.000 Mass after he meets up with them. 29:34.000 --> 29:42.800 But the Methodists, because there happens to be a protest going on in the Methodist church, and 29:42.800 --> 29:49.060 thank God here, there and yonder, independent Methodist churches are springing up, so the 29:49.060 --> 29:50.720 Methodists have some trouble. 29:51.880 --> 29:56.820 So they decided that they would give the Pope a letter. 29:57.760 --> 30:04.640 And they would be Protestant, in that they would be showing to the people that they were not 30:04.640 --> 30:09.680 accepting all that Papa did, that they were making their protest. 30:10.720 --> 30:14.920 In fact, one of them said, Paisley is scared of the Pope, but we are not. 30:15.420 --> 30:19.220 We are going to make our protest face to face. 30:20.540 --> 30:24.380 Oh, but Papa said, you will do no such thing. 30:24.380 --> 30:30.180 I am not coming to Ireland to receive papers from the Methodist church. 30:30.800 --> 30:38.980 If you want to send me any communication, you will send it by post to the peoplenuncio. 30:39.940 --> 30:46.020 And if he feels that I should look at it, I condescend to look at it. 30:46.460 --> 30:51.200 One would have thought the Methodists would have as much spunk in them to say that is not 30:51.200 --> 30:51.800 acceptable. 30:51.800 --> 30:53.320 But what would they say? 30:53.600 --> 30:57.560 Oh yes, Papa, that is wonderful, we will send the letter. 30:57.820 --> 31:02.100 And the Methodist president announced that the letter was already sent. 31:04.440 --> 31:10.440 The Presbyterians, the Irish Presbyterians, they have a little trouble in their hands because there 31:10.440 --> 31:12.360 is a free Presbyterian church. 31:13.400 --> 31:22.860 And they know that there is a place where those who are not going to go the ecumenical road can 31:22.860 --> 31:27.640 find worship and the gospel preached and Christian fellowship. 31:29.040 --> 31:34.940 Of course, the moderator of the Presbyterian church, Dr. Craig, and I would be churlish tonight 31:34.940 --> 31:40.500 if I did not say, I am glad, I thank God that he has refused to meet the Pope. 31:40.500 --> 31:45.820 I am sorry he had not been a bit more stronger, but at least he said, I am not going. 31:46.380 --> 31:51.320 He is a wise man, he has left the country so that nobody will be able to pressurize him. 31:51.380 --> 31:54.580 I am sure there have been a lot of pressures on him, so he went to Canada. 31:55.160 --> 31:56.020 He is not a bug. 31:56.600 --> 31:59.720 And Jack Weir is left in the saddle. 32:01.060 --> 32:06.400 I think he is going to have a sort of unruly donkey like Balaam and his ass. 32:06.700 --> 32:08.520 He is going to have trouble with it. 32:08.520 --> 32:12.640 And the Presbyterians do not know now what to do. 32:13.780 --> 32:17.780 Should we go because we are not allowed to give the Pope our paper? 32:18.520 --> 32:21.760 Or should we send it through the papal nuncio? 32:23.160 --> 32:27.760 And they do not know, they are going to announce this week what they are going to do. 32:27.940 --> 32:30.580 Jack Weir has his way, they will be there. 32:31.400 --> 32:33.060 Paper or no paper. 32:33.760 --> 32:36.220 So we find the cellar. 32:37.140 --> 32:47.580 But the amazing thing is that in these documents there was no mention of the two vital issues. 32:48.620 --> 32:50.520 The Mass and Mary Oliver. 32:51.280 --> 32:55.000 They talked about periphery things like mixed marriage. 32:57.390 --> 33:05.010 Had nothing to do with the real controversy between Bible Protestantism and the Roman Catholic 33:05.010 --> 33:05.390 Church. 33:07.870 --> 33:10.590 Ah, this matter concerning Knock. 33:11.390 --> 33:15.830 Told on the radio all about Knock. 33:16.790 --> 33:29.110 That a hundred years ago, St. John, St. Joseph and Mary suddenly appeared at the gable wall of the 33:29.110 --> 33:31.790 old church or chapel at Knock. 33:32.230 --> 33:35.870 And they stayed there for over an hour and a half. 33:35.870 --> 33:37.650 They stayed there. 33:38.610 --> 33:41.930 And people stood in the room and watched. 33:42.710 --> 33:47.830 And while they got wet, these apparitions never got wet. 33:48.250 --> 33:52.870 And one woman grabbed the foot of Mary and she found there was nothing there. 33:54.370 --> 33:55.570 It is most interesting. 33:59.120 --> 34:00.780 Let me say something. 34:00.780 --> 34:10.000 There is no Pope that has done more to elevate the worship of Mary than Pope John Paul. 34:11.280 --> 34:16.480 The cult of Mary is stronger in the Roman Church than ever before. 34:17.480 --> 34:24.060 I read three Roman Catholic newspapers every week just to find out what Papa is really doing. 34:24.060 --> 34:33.560 And in the Catholic Herald of Friday, September the 14th, Pope's prayer at Loretta for his Irish 34:33.560 --> 34:34.060 mission. 34:35.040 --> 34:36.000 What is Loretta? 34:36.940 --> 34:41.980 Loretta is a secret shrine to Mary in Italy. 34:43.180 --> 34:52.700 It is more unique than Knock or any other secret shrine to what the Roman Catholics call Arlene. 34:54.060 --> 35:00.960 Because at Loretta there is a little house near the bricks. 35:02.480 --> 35:12.140 And that little house, Rome claims, is the very house that Mary was born in, in Nazareth. 35:13.060 --> 35:17.340 And the very house that the Lord Jesus was brought up in. 35:18.340 --> 35:29.780 And after the fall of the temple, that little house was carried by angels who flew it right 35:29.780 --> 35:32.540 across the Mediterranean Sea. 35:33.400 --> 35:37.280 And they landed it, first of all, in Dalmatia. 35:38.140 --> 35:40.620 It stayed there for eight years. 35:41.260 --> 35:43.260 And then it did not like that place. 35:43.260 --> 35:47.560 So it said to the angels, carry me a bit farther. 35:48.500 --> 35:52.860 So after a few other flits, it eventually arrived at Loretta. 35:53.180 --> 35:57.780 And that is not what I say, that is what the Roman Catholic Church said. 35:59.340 --> 36:02.920 And that is what this paper said. 36:04.180 --> 36:08.040 Not something written a hundred years ago or five hundred years ago. 36:08.640 --> 36:09.600 What does it say? 36:10.600 --> 36:15.920 The Pope prayed alone for ten minutes in the little brick house. 36:17.660 --> 36:26.460 Which has been revered for nearly seven centuries as Mary's home in Nazareth. 36:27.640 --> 36:36.240 Populary believed to have been transported by angels from the Holy Land after the fall of 36:36.240 --> 36:36.660 Jerusalem. 36:37.400 --> 36:41.440 So the little house took wings and it flew. 36:41.920 --> 36:44.360 But you know the amazing thing about this little house? 36:45.120 --> 36:55.280 The red brick or the brick that it is made of, are of the very same clay as a little clay pit down 36:55.280 --> 36:55.840 the road. 36:55.840 --> 37:06.460 Now isn't it strange that there was a little clay pit in Nazareth with the very same clay to make 37:06.460 --> 37:10.240 the very same bricks as was at Loretta. 37:10.760 --> 37:12.540 Isn't that an amazing thing? 37:13.440 --> 37:18.680 And when the Pope got down on his knees for ten minutes, this is what he prayed. 37:19.300 --> 37:20.800 There is a special litany. 37:21.400 --> 37:30.000 The litany called the Loretta litany to be said in the little brick house. 37:31.540 --> 37:37.960 And he invoked the blessing of Mary upon his Irish visit. 37:38.820 --> 37:42.540 And he called her Most Holy Mary. 37:43.560 --> 37:47.620 Most Holy Generator of God. 37:47.620 --> 37:50.860 I want you to think about these titles. 37:51.620 --> 37:53.800 Mother of Divine Grace. 37:55.120 --> 37:56.600 Mirror of Justice. 37:57.340 --> 37:59.660 You need that when he looks at the knees present. 38:00.040 --> 38:01.840 You need the mirror of justice always. 38:02.760 --> 38:04.360 Seat of Wisdom. 38:05.260 --> 38:07.020 Cause of our Joy. 38:07.840 --> 38:09.200 Mystical Rose. 38:10.200 --> 38:11.280 Tower of David. 38:12.020 --> 38:13.340 Tower of Ivory. 38:13.980 --> 38:15.440 House of Gold. 38:16.390 --> 38:17.940 Ark of the Covenant. 38:18.620 --> 38:20.060 Gate of Heaven. 38:20.800 --> 38:22.280 Morning Star. 38:22.980 --> 38:24.080 Health of the Sick. 38:24.820 --> 38:26.440 Refuge of Sinners. 38:27.020 --> 38:28.640 Comfort of the Afflicted. 38:29.220 --> 38:30.300 Queen of Angels. 38:30.680 --> 38:31.740 Patriarchs. 38:32.000 --> 38:32.600 Prophets. 38:32.760 --> 38:33.520 Apostles. 38:34.060 --> 38:34.720 Martyrs. 38:34.840 --> 38:35.640 Confessors. 38:35.800 --> 38:36.340 Virgins. 38:36.840 --> 38:38.180 And of all Saints. 38:38.740 --> 38:41.880 Queen conceived without sin. 38:41.880 --> 38:45.040 Queen of the Holy Rosary. 38:46.240 --> 38:49.160 And he implored Mary. 38:49.900 --> 38:52.640 Yes, Bird, you better get that in your teeth. 38:53.140 --> 38:54.680 That's too good to miss. 38:55.720 --> 38:57.940 Let me say this to you tonight. 38:59.240 --> 39:01.000 Let me say this to you tonight. 39:01.480 --> 39:07.640 He implored Mary to prosper his mission. 39:08.600 --> 39:10.780 And at the shrine of Adon. 39:11.380 --> 39:16.240 The very same eulogy is going to be lived to Mary. 39:16.860 --> 39:22.780 Now let me tell you, the Mary of the Roman Catholic Church has nothing whatsoever to do with 39:22.780 --> 39:24.040 Mary, the Virgin. 39:25.300 --> 39:30.140 It was the human instrument for the bringing of the Lord Jesus into this world. 39:30.840 --> 39:34.220 Where did this Mary, this Mystical Rose come from? 39:34.220 --> 39:37.380 That's the woman of Babylon. 39:38.940 --> 39:45.340 And in the Babylonian religion, there was always the mother and the child religion. 39:45.840 --> 39:50.080 You'll read about it even in the book of Jeremiah. 39:51.160 --> 39:53.840 Where they were weeping for Thomas. 39:55.340 --> 40:01.960 That's why the pagans carried a wee chain with a T on it. 40:02.640 --> 40:09.420 Thomas and the Roman Catholic Church carry the same little T, but it's now called the cross. 40:09.880 --> 40:13.980 Don't you think that the Lord Jesus was crucified in a cross piece of wood? 40:14.180 --> 40:14.900 For He wasn't. 40:15.180 --> 40:17.380 He was crucified on a tree. 40:18.000 --> 40:20.280 The word in the book is a stake. 40:20.280 --> 40:30.660 And this idea of the cross that has filtered its way into our worship, even into Protestantism, is 40:30.660 --> 40:32.560 a symbol of Babylonianism. 40:33.120 --> 40:35.300 Nothing to do with the Christian religion. 40:35.860 --> 40:39.580 And of course the cross in Scripture has to do with the work of the cross. 40:39.740 --> 40:42.440 God forbid that I should glory see Him in the cross. 40:42.700 --> 40:45.500 That's the work of the cross, not the wood of the cross anyway. 40:45.500 --> 40:50.380 The work that was done on the cross that saves me, not the wood of the cross. 40:50.540 --> 40:50.860 Thomas. 40:52.540 --> 40:58.980 And this has been carried out of Babylonianism into Catholicism. 40:59.380 --> 41:02.540 Christian names have been put on it. 41:02.760 --> 41:05.540 But it's the old symbol of Babylon. 41:06.440 --> 41:07.680 And that knock. 41:09.240 --> 41:14.440 They're going to worship and bow down to the Virgin. 41:14.680 --> 41:15.860 And it starts at the middle. 41:17.460 --> 41:19.000 Here's another Roman Catholic. 41:19.220 --> 41:20.220 I do read the middle. 41:20.600 --> 41:23.480 I don't read the Belfast Telegraph, but I read these people. 41:24.000 --> 41:25.160 The universe. 41:29.230 --> 41:31.250 Thousands at Walsingham. 41:33.270 --> 41:37.510 Walsingham is the National Shrine of Our Lady. 41:39.010 --> 41:49.250 And just a few days ago, they carried the statue of Mary through the streets of that town. 41:49.970 --> 41:52.110 And they worshiped before that. 41:52.650 --> 41:55.950 And you know where they had the meeting to start it off? 41:56.470 --> 41:58.890 In the Church of England Church. 41:58.890 --> 42:07.130 The rector gave his church over to them and took part in the service as they commenced their 42:07.130 --> 42:09.230 worship of the Virgin. 42:09.790 --> 42:18.030 Soon they will have in the streets of England the things that happened in pre-reformation times. 42:18.550 --> 42:23.910 And if you lift your voice and cry idolatry, it will be imprisonment. 42:24.350 --> 42:27.130 And eventually, God knows, it will be death. 42:27.130 --> 42:30.090 We are going back to the persecuting time. 42:30.490 --> 42:34.410 And of course, if you say anything about it, you are a bigot. 42:35.650 --> 42:36.750 You are a madman. 42:37.610 --> 42:45.650 You see, the peace spokesman today said that there were too many Paisleyites and bigots in all the 42:45.650 --> 42:45.970 churches. 42:46.390 --> 42:47.070 They were all bigots. 42:47.110 --> 42:48.230 That's what they said about Luther. 42:48.310 --> 42:48.930 He was a bigot. 42:49.210 --> 42:50.150 He was a madman. 42:50.230 --> 42:51.650 He should be locked up in the asylum. 42:51.650 --> 42:54.310 And many times you have heard that about this preacher. 42:54.970 --> 42:57.070 And you will hear about it more and more. 42:57.470 --> 42:58.330 He should be locked up. 42:58.410 --> 43:00.030 He shouldn't be allowed to say these things. 43:00.150 --> 43:01.470 Glory to God, we will be saved. 43:02.530 --> 43:03.890 What about this? 43:04.190 --> 43:07.070 Did something happen at night? 43:07.150 --> 43:14.070 You know the strange thing, that when this happened at night, there were other apparitions 43:14.070 --> 43:16.370 happened in Cork. 43:18.150 --> 43:20.870 And these things were being seen in Cork. 43:20.870 --> 43:23.990 And everybody was going to Cork. 43:24.330 --> 43:27.170 And the pubs were doing great business in Cork. 43:27.810 --> 43:29.950 And the hotels were doing... and you know what they discovered? 43:30.350 --> 43:31.230 Fact of history. 43:32.010 --> 43:38.610 They discovered that the leading publican had purchased a magic lamp. 43:39.270 --> 43:43.350 And had concealed it in the winch. 43:43.870 --> 43:49.270 And he had got his son to operate it with slides of statues of Mary. 43:50.150 --> 43:55.910 And the people thought that the Blessed Virgin was visiting the place every night. 43:56.530 --> 43:58.970 And of course the pubs were doing a great business. 43:59.310 --> 44:01.090 But it was all exposed. 44:01.790 --> 44:02.810 It all came out in the wine. 44:03.330 --> 44:08.290 There is a book, if you want to get a book about potpourri in Ireland. 44:08.990 --> 44:13.530 Get this book, Priests and People in Ireland by Michael J. 44:13.590 --> 44:13.910 F. 44:14.010 --> 44:14.470 MacArthur. 44:14.470 --> 44:22.350 And when you read that book, you will understand the lying of Rome and the deceivings of Rome and 44:22.350 --> 44:23.450 the deceits of Rome. 44:23.750 --> 44:25.790 And you will get it in the Belfast library. 44:25.970 --> 44:27.230 Go and queue up for it. 44:27.450 --> 44:30.450 And you will wonder why everybody wants to read that book. 44:30.830 --> 44:32.570 Tell them Paisley recommended it. 44:32.990 --> 44:37.370 Maybe I will get a cut then from the line. 44:39.330 --> 44:44.170 And there is a whole chapter or not in this book. 44:44.250 --> 44:47.890 I am going to print some of it in the next issue of our paper, so that you will have it. 44:48.530 --> 44:56.350 And the strange thing, the priest, who was a knock at that time, he could not be found. 44:57.310 --> 45:00.610 He never was available when the apparitions appeared. 45:02.010 --> 45:05.750 And when he was told about them, he would not even go out to examine them. 45:05.750 --> 45:10.030 Was he operating a magic lantern at that time? 45:10.570 --> 45:12.010 Well, I will tell you what he did operate. 45:12.810 --> 45:20.270 He operated a racket and plaster from the wall. 45:21.390 --> 45:34.850 The Daily Telegraph said that Archdeacon Cavanaugh said, Some little while ago I received a sick call 45:34.850 --> 45:41.610 late at night to a man who was said to be vomiting blood and in extreme danger. 45:42.770 --> 45:48.310 After ministering to him, I called for a glass of water. 45:49.250 --> 45:57.930 Sprinkled on it a few particles of the mortar from the gable walls of the chapel and gave him a 45:57.930 --> 45:58.270 drink. 45:59.030 --> 46:06.030 He did so and at once he began to recover and became perfectly well. 46:06.490 --> 46:08.610 Plaster from the gable wall. 46:09.610 --> 46:22.550 And he goes on to tell us that the daughter of Arwash of Clifton regained sight after bathing her 46:22.550 --> 46:28.250 eyes in water containing a piece of plaster from the chapel wall. 46:28.250 --> 46:37.510 Oh, and Halpin of Drogheda, troubled with deafness, placed a bit of mortar in his ears and 46:37.510 --> 46:38.930 suddenly he heard. 46:39.910 --> 46:43.190 These are the facts of the situation. 46:44.510 --> 46:51.930 Of course the Archbishops of the Church of Ireland and the Presbyterian apostates and Methodist false 46:51.930 --> 46:55.950 prophets will not be crying aloud against Popery. 46:55.950 --> 46:57.710 Of course they will not. 46:59.190 --> 47:02.090 The deceptions of Roman Catholicism. 47:02.170 --> 47:10.750 And I have here a copy of a letter written by a parish priest by the name of C.W. 47:10.890 --> 47:11.450 Corbett. 47:12.330 --> 47:19.510 This letter appeared on Wednesday the 27th of July 1938 in the Irish time. 47:21.050 --> 47:22.770 And this is what he said. 47:24.130 --> 47:30.810 He said when the operation came there was little talk at the time. 47:31.250 --> 47:36.810 It was only years and years afterwards when the witnesses that were supposed to have seen these 47:36.810 --> 47:38.810 operations had died. 47:39.470 --> 47:45.710 Then Rome started to tell her story and get into the business, the money making business of now. 47:46.250 --> 47:48.130 But let me tell you what he said. 47:48.930 --> 47:51.570 He said we heard very little more of the matter. 47:53.090 --> 47:59.530 And by the time of my ordination in 1881, the whole subject was almost entirely forgotten. 48:00.890 --> 48:08.510 Some years after, in about 1886, I was speaking to a naval parish priest. 48:09.350 --> 48:12.390 It was long since death and the subject cropped up. 48:12.390 --> 48:15.390 I asked him what he thought about it. 48:15.950 --> 48:22.750 And he quietly told me that he visited now and made a private inquiry for himself. 48:23.530 --> 48:32.890 He came to the conclusion that the whole matter originated in that one of the witnesses used to 48:32.890 --> 48:35.090 indulge in strong drink. 48:36.130 --> 48:40.910 And when he was taken with drink, he saw visions. 48:43.190 --> 48:47.550 As many in that state have done and will do. 48:49.410 --> 48:52.410 That is not a fundamentalist Protestant preacher said that. 48:52.670 --> 48:53.890 That is a Roman Catholic priest. 48:53.950 --> 48:55.610 Now this man did not leave the church. 48:56.250 --> 48:57.410 But he was opposed. 48:58.250 --> 49:00.510 You keep quiet prayer and you will get no cornflakes. 49:01.010 --> 49:02.430 Now let me say this to you. 49:02.430 --> 49:04.270 Let me say this to you tonight. 49:04.390 --> 49:07.910 He did not leave the Roman Catholic church, this priest. 49:07.910 --> 49:12.610 This priest was against what he called deceit. 49:13.570 --> 49:17.890 He said we have had an exposure in West Cork of apparitions. 49:18.890 --> 49:22.130 And the church has found out to be deceiving the people. 49:23.210 --> 49:29.330 We have had the whole case of the Temple Moore miracles which were also exposed as fakes. 49:29.930 --> 49:36.030 And he says we as a church must not have any more of these fakes when they are going to do our 49:36.030 --> 49:37.050 church harm. 49:37.050 --> 49:39.190 There is a Roman Catholic church. 49:39.690 --> 49:44.830 A priest living at the time who brings his own evidence to the subject. 49:45.550 --> 49:52.930 And yet the fools of our land are going to wonder after the beast. 49:53.470 --> 49:54.790 That is what the Bible says. 49:55.130 --> 49:56.910 They will wonder after the beast. 49:56.990 --> 50:00.970 How people can be deceived and they will deceive. 50:00.970 --> 50:07.750 They would accept anything but the precious truth of God's holy word. 50:08.430 --> 50:11.110 And what about the mass? 50:12.590 --> 50:21.210 The Lord Jesus Christ died once and for all upon the cross of Sheol for sinners. 50:22.470 --> 50:26.890 His hands will never be kneeled again to the cross. 50:27.810 --> 50:32.770 His blessed brow will never be pierced again with thorns. 50:33.570 --> 50:37.810 His feet shall never run blood being kneeled to the tree. 50:38.470 --> 50:42.710 Nor shall his side be opened again for the flowing of blood and water. 50:43.590 --> 50:49.530 My Savior offered one sacrifice for sins forever. 50:49.530 --> 51:04.820 This man, having offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of the job of 51:04.820 --> 51:05.360 redemption. 51:06.420 --> 51:07.490 He acted atonement. 51:08.380 --> 51:12.900 The great propitiatory work is done forevermore. 51:13.860 --> 51:16.440 He was wounded for our transgressions. 51:16.860 --> 51:19.280 He was bruised for our iniquities. 51:19.280 --> 51:23.080 The justiceman of our peace was upon him. 51:23.660 --> 51:27.960 And by his stripes we are healed. 51:31.320 --> 51:41.220 You will see thousands and thousands and tens of thousands of people when he holds up the wheel. 51:42.060 --> 51:48.460 And Christ, behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world. 51:48.460 --> 51:52.620 Then they shall fall prostrate in worship. 51:53.860 --> 52:02.720 And the whole of that vast assembly shall take part in the greatest insult that ever could be 52:02.720 --> 52:07.660 made to the person and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. 52:08.440 --> 52:18.020 It is for those reasons that we repudiate the Pope's claims and reject his visit and protest 52:18.020 --> 52:26.540 against this brazen effrontery and idolatry of the person of the Son of God. 52:27.980 --> 52:32.280 Oh, that Protestantism might return to God's Word. 52:33.060 --> 52:41.340 Oh, that God, when this Antichrist arrives, might reveal to men and women the true Christ through 52:41.340 --> 52:42.680 the preaching of the gospel. 52:43.560 --> 52:48.520 Oh, that their eyes might be turned away from the deceits of Rome. 52:49.420 --> 52:57.300 Their eyes might be turned to the truth of that Holy Word that maketh wise unto salvation. 52:58.140 --> 53:01.100 It is an evil day. 53:01.460 --> 53:02.420 What shall we do? 53:02.420 --> 53:09.620 Every Christian should redouble his efforts in getting out the gospel of Jesus Christ. 53:10.360 --> 53:16.440 We should protest against the idolatry with all means in our power. 53:17.360 --> 53:21.740 We should spread the gospel, the true gospel of Jesus Christ. 53:22.380 --> 53:26.860 We should give of our means for the spreading of that gospel. 53:26.860 --> 53:35.400 And we should never rest until God sends a great revival to this land of Ulster, to this island 53:35.400 --> 53:36.620 home of ours. 53:37.040 --> 53:44.020 And that we'll see those in darkness brought into the glorious light of the gospel. 53:44.700 --> 53:48.100 There is one thing that Rome fears, and it's this book. 53:48.820 --> 53:54.760 And there's one thing that terrorizes Rome, and it's a preacher of God's Word. 53:54.760 --> 54:04.220 God sendeth a race of fearless, spirit-filled preachers who shall fill this land with the 54:04.220 --> 54:09.320 doctrine of the gospel that Jesus alone seeth. 54:09.900 --> 54:14.220 That merely has no part in man's salvation. 54:15.000 --> 54:19.940 And that there is only one Holy Father, and that is God the Father. 54:20.440 --> 54:22.740 And He alone deserves that title. 54:22.740 --> 54:27.600 And there is only one Vicar of Christ, and that's God the Holy Ghost. 54:28.180 --> 54:32.820 And there's only one Mediator, and that's Jesus Christ Himself. 54:33.500 --> 54:40.940 If there be someone here tonight, and you as yet so cradled in Protestantism, have never come to 54:40.940 --> 54:49.700 Jesus Christ and received Him as your Savior, I trust tonight, in the silence of your heart, you 54:49.700 --> 54:52.460 will call upon the name of the Lord. 54:55.060 --> 55:01.440 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 55:02.300 --> 55:09.140 After this service, the session room of the church will be opened as usual, as an inquiry. 55:09.140 --> 55:15.480 I trust, dear sinner friend, dear back-sider, you'll make your way to that room. 55:16.280 --> 55:24.800 And I trust tonight you'll come and receive the Son of God, and be born again of His Spirit. 55:25.540 --> 55:29.360 I have to go tonight and preach and not medona. 55:30.000 --> 55:31.780 I would appreciate your prayers. 55:31.960 --> 55:34.180 It will be my fifth message today. 55:34.800 --> 55:36.840 May it be the best message of all. 55:36.840 --> 55:42.820 And best of all, may sinners be saved through the preaching of His Holy Word. 55:43.100 --> 55:45.440 Let's stand to our feet to be dismissed. 55:50.020 --> 55:55.580 O God, our Father, we thank Thee for Thy holy and precious Word. 55:56.620 --> 55:59.020 We thank Thee for the truth of the Bible. 55:59.940 --> 56:02.940 We thank Thee that we don't need man-made priests. 56:02.940 --> 56:09.760 That we have the great High Priest, and we depend upon the finished work of Christ. 56:10.760 --> 56:14.340 Bless this people, those without Christ. 56:15.040 --> 56:17.840 Bring them to the blessed Son of God. 56:18.720 --> 56:20.560 Separate us now with Thy blessing. 56:21.360 --> 56:26.200 And as we go to that medona, may Thy hand be upon us for good. 56:26.720 --> 56:32.220 And may our ministry be owned and blessed of God in the salvation of the lost. 56:32.220 --> 56:40.780 And may the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be 56:40.780 --> 56:44.600 with us all, now and forevermore. 56:45.580 --> 56:47.800 Amen and Amen. 56:50.000 --> 56:54.820 This Reformation audio track is a production of Stillwater's Revival Books. 56:55.980 --> 57:02.380 SWRB makes thousands of

Reformation's regulative principle of worship, or 58:07.560 --> 58:12.880 what is sometimes called the scriptural law of worship, commenting on the words of God, which I 58:12.880 --> 58:15.620 commanded them not, neither came into my heart. 58:16.120 --> 58:24.520 From his commentary on Jeremiah 731, writes, God here cuts off from men every occasion for making 58:24.520 --> 58:31.200 evasions, since he condemns by this one phrase, I have not commanded them, whatever the Jews 58:31.200 --> 58:31.920 devised. 58:32.440 --> 58:37.780 There is then no other argument needed to condemn superstitions, than that they are not commanded by 58:37.780 --> 58:38.200 God. 58:38.200 --> 58:43.640 For when men allow themselves to worship God according to their own fancies, and attend not to 58:43.640 --> 58:46.240 his commands, they pervert true religion. 58:46.940 --> 58:52.820 And if this principle was adopted by the Papists, all those fictitious modes of worship, in which 58:52.820 --> 58:56.320 they absurdly exercise themselves, would fall to the ground. 58:56.900 --> 59:02.300 It is indeed a horrible thing for the Papists to seek to discharge their duties towards God, by 59:02.300 --> 59:04.040 performing their own superstitions. 59:04.040 --> 59:09.960 There is an immense number of them, as it is well known, and as it manifestly appears. 59:10.580 --> 59:16.400 Were they to admit this principle, that we cannot rightly worship God, except by obeying his word, 59:16.820 --> 59:19.680 they would be delivered from their deep abyss of error. 59:20.320 --> 59:27.300 The prophet's words then are very important, when he says, that God had commanded no such thing, and 59:27.300 --> 59:28.980 that it never came to his mind. 59:28.980 --> 59:35.640 As though he had said, that men assume too much wisdom, when they devise what he never required, 59:36.120 --> 59:37.700 nay, what he never knew.
