WEBVTT 00:14.120 --> 00:28.140 Shema Yisra'el Adonai Eloheinu 00:35.700 --> 00:38.500 Adonai Echad 00:42.880 --> 00:52.020 Baruch Shem K'vod Mal'chut 00:56.740 --> 01:21.140 Hamayim Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu 01:27.920 --> 01:30.720 Adonai Echad 01:38.510 --> 01:44.030 The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, when I bring the sword 01:44.030 --> 01:48.850 against a land, and the people of that land take a man, and make him their 01:48.850 --> 01:54.450 watchman, then if this watchman sees the sword coming upon the land, and he does 01:54.450 --> 02:00.370 not sound the trumpet, so that the people might be warned, then if the sword comes 02:00.370 --> 02:05.270 and takes the life of any man among them, that man shall be taken away in his 02:05.270 --> 02:05.750 iniquity. 02:05.750 --> 02:09.790 But I will hold the watchman accountable for his life. 02:11.270 --> 02:14.510 His blood shall I require at the watchman's hand. 02:17.410 --> 02:22.530 Now as for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman. 02:27.850 --> 02:32.330 Therefore hear the words from my mouth, and give them warning from me. 02:32.850 --> 02:39.310 If I say to the wicked man, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak 02:39.310 --> 02:44.750 to warn him, that he might turn from his wicked way to save his life, that same 02:44.750 --> 02:46.890 wicked man shall die in his sin. 02:47.370 --> 02:50.650 But his blood shall I require at your hand. 03:09.570 --> 03:16.090 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, he will die 03:16.090 --> 03:16.810 in his sin. 03:19.130 --> 03:23.970 But you, O son of man, shall have delivered your soul. 05:20.110 --> 05:24.550 Assemble yourselves and come, all ye nations, and gather yourselves together 05:24.550 --> 05:25.330 round about. 05:26.730 --> 05:31.490 Let the nations be wakened and come up to the valley, for there will I sit to judge 05:31.490 --> 05:32.430 all nations. 05:39.270 --> 05:44.590 Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision, for the day of the Lord is near 05:44.590 --> 05:46.130 in the valley of decision. 05:47.190 --> 05:51.250 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their 05:51.250 --> 05:51.690 shining. 05:53.850 --> 05:58.610 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem. 06:00.290 --> 06:04.730 And the heavens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord will be the hope of his 06:04.730 --> 06:07.490 people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 06:08.250 --> 06:12.970 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. 06:14.010 --> 06:18.570 Then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no more strangers pass through her 06:18.570 --> 06:19.650 any more. 06:21.630 --> 06:26.270 For centuries man has believed that an end of this world as we know it would come. 06:26.810 --> 06:31.970 An event preceded by signs and wonders, mysteriously shrouded in the pages of 06:31.970 --> 06:32.430 prophecy. 06:33.170 --> 06:38.070 But as each generation continues, many ask the question, when will it be? 06:39.190 --> 06:42.890 Still others are adamant, declaring the time is at hand. 06:45.390 --> 06:49.830 Bible researchers say that Armageddon is near, and the signs of its happening are 06:49.830 --> 06:50.990 increasing every day. 06:52.270 --> 06:56.070 Scholars point from the Bible to the newspapers, and claim to witness the 06:56.070 --> 06:59.410 fulfillment of words scrawled on parchment long ago. 07:00.950 --> 07:02.230 But what are they finding? 07:06.030 --> 07:10.890 Some say the world is coming together as one, and that this one world will mark the 07:10.890 --> 07:11.890 beginning of the end. 07:14.050 --> 07:18.690 Man is going back to the Tower of Babel, where all the peoples of the earth were of 07:18.690 --> 07:22.710 one speech, and so nothing which they imagined to do would be withheld from 07:22.710 --> 07:22.910 them. 07:22.910 --> 07:27.390 Man is to unify, and build his own stairway to heaven. 07:42.710 --> 07:45.190 A global economy marches forward. 07:45.930 --> 07:49.410 The United Nations cry peace and campaign for world government. 07:51.210 --> 07:56.350 Meanwhile, the Pope goes forth as the supposed vicar of Christ, to gather all 07:56.350 --> 07:58.330 nations into a one world religion. 08:00.270 --> 08:04.830 Joining hands with Buddhists, Hindus, Voodoo priests, and witch doctors, 08:04.950 --> 08:08.090 he tells them, we are all praying to the same God. 08:09.030 --> 08:13.470 Can these things be setting the stage for what the Bible declared centuries ago? 08:17.310 --> 08:27.710 The world, everybody, has multiple good reasons for believing the Bible. 08:28.130 --> 08:29.310 You can't escape the Bible. 08:29.310 --> 08:31.710 The Bible is primarily prophecy. 08:31.950 --> 08:35.130 I think 28, 29% of the Bible is prophecy. 08:36.130 --> 08:40.970 And most of the prophecy dealt with, has already been completed, because it 08:40.970 --> 08:43.030 dealt with the first coming of Christ. 08:45.790 --> 08:54.130 Isaiah 46, 9, and 10, God says that he will use prophecy to prove his existence, 08:54.290 --> 08:55.830 and to prove that the Bible is his word. 08:55.830 --> 09:01.350 The Lord says, I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the 09:01.350 --> 09:05.110 beginning, and from ancient times, the things that are not yet done. 09:05.650 --> 09:11.210 He says that he will tell us what is going to happen before it happens, he will watch 09:11.210 --> 09:16.750 over history to make certain that it does, and when it happens, you cannot deny that 09:16.750 --> 09:18.570 God exists, and the Bible is his word. 09:18.650 --> 09:19.870 Now that's absolutely unique. 09:21.630 --> 09:26.570 That's one of the characteristics of the Bible, that demonstrates that it's not 09:26.570 --> 09:28.990 just an everyday book out there. 09:29.290 --> 09:35.110 It is supernatural, because prophecy has been fulfilled to the letter. 09:37.990 --> 09:40.330 There's no book like that in the world. 09:40.670 --> 09:42.630 The Koran doesn't claim that. 09:43.650 --> 09:46.190 Buddha never claimed that. 09:46.190 --> 09:51.310 You won't find it in the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, 09:51.450 --> 09:52.530 the Hindu Vedas. 09:53.710 --> 09:57.390 You name any religious book in the world, the sayings of Confucius or Buddha, 09:57.930 --> 10:00.770 or whoever it is, there are no prophecies. 10:03.010 --> 10:05.550 These are not cheap psychic predictions. 10:05.950 --> 10:12.470 These are world-shaping, history-making, world-shaking events, that have in fact 10:12.470 --> 10:17.050 made the history of this world, that the whole world has witnessed their 10:17.050 --> 10:17.530 fulfillment. 10:17.750 --> 10:22.050 And they were prophesied centuries, some of them thousands of years, 10:22.370 --> 10:23.470 before they happened. 10:24.310 --> 10:26.370 And you just can't explain it away. 10:30.190 --> 10:33.510 Anybody who's a skeptic about this, all they have to do is look to the 10:33.510 --> 10:37.650 prophecies, dealing with the coming of the Messiah, the first coming. 10:37.850 --> 10:40.690 And it lays it all out specifically, where he was going to be born, 10:41.170 --> 10:42.370 how he was going to die. 10:42.370 --> 10:46.430 Just things that no individual, no human being could make up. 10:48.290 --> 10:52.990 Well, if all the prophecies of the first coming of Christ have all been fulfilled, 10:53.230 --> 10:57.570 to the letter, then we could say, with great confidence, that the other 10:57.570 --> 11:00.600 prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled, will be fulfilled. 11:03.610 --> 11:07.630 Researchers all over the world put faith in the prophecies of the Bible. 11:07.630 --> 11:12.910 Yet there are many who look to outside sources for prophetic insight and 11:12.910 --> 11:15.130 information about the end times. 11:16.010 --> 11:20.810 Where do unbiblical prophets and their prophecies stand in the word of God? 11:23.770 --> 11:26.750 Isaiah 8, 20 mocks them. 11:28.210 --> 11:32.470 Why do you turn to spirits that peep and mutter, these wizards? 11:33.470 --> 11:38.230 Perhaps the most famous is the 16th century astrologer, Nostradamus. 11:38.870 --> 11:43.450 And in modern times, the so-called Christian psychic, Edgar Cayce. 11:45.210 --> 11:52.050 The prophecies, so-called, of Nostradamus are not straightforward by any means. 11:53.350 --> 11:55.270 The Bible lays it out. 11:55.870 --> 11:56.850 It names names. 11:57.750 --> 11:59.430 It names places. 12:00.430 --> 12:04.290 You've got to figure them out from Nostradamus. 12:04.990 --> 12:09.130 It's rather obscure and rather ambiguous. 12:11.150 --> 12:16.430 Nostradamus is often credited with having predicted the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. 12:16.910 --> 12:19.810 The argument comes from this mysterious quatrain. 12:20.370 --> 12:24.830 In the third month, the sun rising, the boar and the leopard meet on the 12:24.830 --> 12:25.250 battlefield. 12:25.250 --> 12:30.330 The fatigued leopard looks up to heaven and sees an eagle playing with the sun. 12:31.110 --> 12:35.670 John Hogue, a best-selling author of Nostradamus' prophecies, offers this 12:35.670 --> 12:36.450 interpretation. 12:37.150 --> 12:43.830 He writes, the third month, June 1815, the boar, this is Napoleon, and the 12:43.830 --> 12:48.310 leopard, what Napoleon called the heraldic lion, symbolizing England. 12:49.070 --> 12:54.250 Normally, the third month would be March, but somehow Hogue has changed it to June 12:54.250 --> 12:55.310 to make it fit. 12:56.130 --> 13:00.850 He calls the boar Napoleon, though Napoleon's standard was that of an eagle, 13:01.190 --> 13:01.910 not a boar. 13:02.510 --> 13:07.410 Then, without explanation, he makes the leopard into a lion so it can symbolize 13:07.410 --> 13:07.830 England. 13:09.010 --> 13:13.650 In another quatrain, Hogue rightly identifies the eagle with Napoleon. 13:13.650 --> 13:19.050 But the eagle has also been a symbol for other nations, including Poland, 13:19.570 --> 13:24.730 Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Hitler's Nazi Germany, and the United States of America. 13:25.350 --> 13:28.630 Why Napoleon should be singled out is not explained. 13:29.550 --> 13:34.070 Different people come up with different ideas of what does this prophecy of 13:34.070 --> 13:36.070 Nostradamus mean, or what does that one mean? 13:36.810 --> 13:41.670 And very often they have come up with prophecies, I mean, they thought, 13:42.450 --> 13:43.770 that didn't turn out. 13:44.070 --> 13:48.950 Or then, after the fact, they think they have found something. 13:49.630 --> 13:54.690 For years, people have insisted that Nostradamus predicted Adolf Hitler with 13:54.690 --> 13:55.470 this quatrain. 13:56.170 --> 13:58.950 Beasts, wild with hunger, will cross the rivers. 13:59.310 --> 14:02.290 The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister. 14:03.850 --> 14:09.910 Did Nostradamus miss the name Hitler by one or two letters, as many suggest? 14:10.690 --> 14:16.770 Pro-Nostradamus author Eric Achetum admits that commentators before 1930 understood 14:16.770 --> 14:20.890 the Hister to be the river Danube from its Latin name Ister. 14:22.110 --> 14:27.530 As with Napoleon, Nostradamus' adherents must alter what he actually wrote to make 14:27.530 --> 14:27.950 it fit. 14:27.950 --> 14:35.810 The same author goes on to say that I can dismiss 95% of Nostradamus' predictions as 14:35.810 --> 14:37.130 historical coincidence. 14:38.570 --> 14:42.910 I wouldn't waste my time on the prophecies of Nostradamus for a number of reasons. 14:43.010 --> 14:46.070 Number one, he doesn't even know God. 14:46.810 --> 14:49.810 He is not a true prophet of God. 14:50.510 --> 14:52.470 God does not speak for him. 14:52.710 --> 14:54.750 In the Bible, this is a claim they make. 14:54.750 --> 15:00.990 More than 50 times Ezekiel, for example, says, The word of the Lord came unto me, 15:01.270 --> 15:01.550 saying. 15:02.550 --> 15:03.970 They are laying it out. 15:04.510 --> 15:07.550 They are telling you very clearly that God is speaking through them. 15:07.810 --> 15:08.950 Nostradamus doesn't say that. 15:10.510 --> 15:15.390 In contrast to biblical prophets, Nostradamus used a form of divination 15:15.390 --> 15:17.730 known among witches as scrying. 15:17.730 --> 15:23.690 An encyclopedia on witchcraft today defines scrying as concentrating on an 15:23.690 --> 15:25.830 object until visions appear. 15:26.390 --> 15:31.490 It goes on to say that scrying has been practiced by magicians and witches through 15:31.490 --> 15:32.110 the ages. 15:32.730 --> 15:35.950 Among the purposes of scrying are predictions of the future. 15:36.690 --> 15:42.330 The object on which to concentrate is usually a shiny smooth surface such as the 15:42.330 --> 15:45.150 crystal ball used by gypsy fortune tellers. 15:45.150 --> 15:49.750 Ink, blood, and other dark liquids were used by the Egyptians. 15:50.770 --> 15:53.590 Bowls of water were used by Nostradamus. 15:55.150 --> 16:00.450 In Deuteronomy, God says, There shall not be found among you anyone who uses 16:00.450 --> 16:06.010 divination, or who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a 16:06.010 --> 16:11.810 sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who 16:11.810 --> 16:12.850 calls up the dead. 16:12.850 --> 16:16.770 For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord. 16:22.200 --> 16:26.340 Nostradamus, by his own admission, seemed to know that his practices were 16:26.340 --> 16:26.840 condemned. 16:27.580 --> 16:33.740 The Nostradamus Encyclopedia says, He, Nostradamus, indicates how it is 16:33.740 --> 16:38.160 possible for the diviner to open the mind to divine inspiration. 16:38.800 --> 16:43.960 Almost in the same breath, however, he beseeches his infant son never to 16:43.960 --> 16:45.340 dabble in such practices. 16:46.000 --> 16:51.660 For, he says, they desecrate the body, disturb the mind, and send the soul to 16:51.660 --> 16:52.160 perdition. 17:02.340 --> 17:08.100 Edgar Cayce came to believe, well he was a Presbyterian Sunday School teacher at one 17:08.100 --> 17:08.380 point. 17:09.280 --> 17:11.400 He got into this through hypnosis. 17:12.040 --> 17:15.760 He had a throat ailment, and was healed of it by a hypnotist. 17:16.360 --> 17:20.040 And then he began to put himself under self-hypnosis. 17:20.660 --> 17:24.720 And then he began to get these visions. 17:25.320 --> 17:29.640 In that state, he was in an altered state of consciousness. 17:31.460 --> 17:35.140 And he got his information, he said, from the information. 17:35.360 --> 17:37.300 That was what he called it, the information. 17:37.880 --> 17:39.940 This was not God telling him this. 17:39.940 --> 17:45.560 Well, he would put his hand over the third eye and go into this trance. 17:45.800 --> 17:51.460 And they would bring names of people and addresses and so forth. 17:51.520 --> 17:54.220 And he would say, yes, I see the body. 17:54.380 --> 17:57.200 And now he could even describe this person miles away. 17:57.420 --> 17:58.660 So that was very impressive. 17:59.380 --> 18:05.200 But one day when he came out of his trance, they told him that he had been 18:05.200 --> 18:08.020 talking about someone who had been reincarnated. 18:09.360 --> 18:11.700 Well, he hadn't believed in reincarnation. 18:11.820 --> 18:12.800 In fact, it's not biblical. 18:13.040 --> 18:16.140 The Bible says it's appointed unto man once to die. 18:16.340 --> 18:20.960 But he abandoned what the Bible said because this information that he was 18:20.960 --> 18:26.380 getting in this altered state said reincarnation was a true event. 18:27.380 --> 18:31.640 Casey would go on to teach the reincarnation of biblical characters, 18:32.000 --> 18:33.580 including Jesus himself. 18:33.580 --> 18:39.540 He taught that Jesus was the reincarnation of Joshua in Shiloh, Joseph in the court 18:39.540 --> 18:44.500 of Pharaoh, Melchizedek as he blessed Abraham, Enoch as he warned the people, 18:44.980 --> 18:46.620 and Adam as he listened to Eve. 18:47.560 --> 18:53.140 Casey taught that Christ is not a man, though the Bible says that there is one 18:53.140 --> 19:00.080 mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, and warns that every spirit 19:00.080 --> 19:05.860 that does not confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. 19:07.280 --> 19:13.180 Though Casey author John Van Auken tells us that obviously Casey's perspective on 19:13.180 --> 19:18.440 Jesus Christ is much different from the church's, when he set aside his outer self 19:18.440 --> 19:23.600 and lifted his deeper mind into the universal consciousness, a new perspective 19:23.600 --> 19:26.560 on Jesus Christ came through him to us. 19:29.260 --> 19:35.580 The apostle Paul warned, I fear less by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve 19:35.580 --> 19:39.460 through his craftiness, so your mind should be corrupted from Christ. 19:40.160 --> 19:44.560 For if he that cometh preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, 19:44.900 --> 19:46.360 you might well bear with him. 19:48.020 --> 19:52.900 There are, I think, seven marks of a false prophet in the Bible. 19:53.500 --> 19:55.620 Deuteronomy 13, you have the first one. 19:56.460 --> 20:03.440 It says if a prophet or a dreamer of dreams gives you a sign and it comes to 20:03.440 --> 20:09.940 pass, so even a false prophet can say things that happen. 20:11.700 --> 20:14.740 But he leads you astray after other gods. 20:15.880 --> 20:17.140 That's the number one mark. 20:17.980 --> 20:20.600 What he says does not measure up to the Bible. 20:21.260 --> 20:30.800 What he says does not lead you to the true God of prophecy in correlation with all of 20:30.800 --> 20:31.840 the other prophecies. 20:32.200 --> 20:35.600 But it leads you after another God, okay? 20:35.700 --> 20:38.400 Number one, no matter how impressive it may be. 20:38.400 --> 20:42.940 You shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, 20:43.300 --> 20:47.700 for the Lord your God is testing you to know if you love the Lord your God with 20:47.700 --> 20:49.920 all your heart and with all your soul. 20:50.860 --> 20:53.420 So that's the first criteria. 20:54.440 --> 20:57.640 And Nostradamus never led anybody to the true God. 20:58.160 --> 21:03.360 Edgar Cayce claimed to be a Christian, and he was led astray by his information. 21:04.020 --> 21:07.380 He was led away from the true God, away from the Bible. 21:07.780 --> 21:13.820 So, again, no matter how impressive he was, he led you astray after other gods. 21:16.560 --> 21:24.580 The second criteria for a false prophet, Deuteronomy 18, he says something, 21:24.900 --> 21:31.260 anything, that doesn't come to pass, he is not a prophet of God, okay? 21:31.380 --> 21:32.580 That's what the Bible says. 21:32.640 --> 21:33.340 That's logical. 21:35.160 --> 21:39.720 You may say in your heart, how will we know the word which the Lord has not 21:39.720 --> 21:40.080 spoken? 21:40.880 --> 21:45.320 When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or 21:45.320 --> 21:47.400 come true, the Lord has not spoken. 21:47.980 --> 21:50.020 The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. 21:50.540 --> 21:52.040 You shall not be afraid of him. 21:54.160 --> 21:57.280 Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce were not always vague. 21:57.780 --> 22:02.100 Among many failed prophecies was the Nostradamus prediction that a great king 22:02.100 --> 22:05.220 of terror would appear in the sky in 1999. 22:06.140 --> 22:10.420 The Nostradamus faithful thought that this would mark the beginning of World War III 22:10.420 --> 22:12.520 and the appearance of Antichrist. 22:12.520 --> 22:18.300 While interpretations of this prophecy vary, it is today clear that no such event 22:18.300 --> 22:19.080 took place. 22:19.740 --> 22:25.100 Pro-Nostradamus author Eric Achetum actually admits that Nostradamus' powers, 22:25.480 --> 22:28.860 quote, certainly sometimes let him down in the prophecies. 22:29.800 --> 22:35.060 Meanwhile, Edgar Cayce prophesied that the lost city of Atlantis would rise from the 22:35.060 --> 22:38.220 ocean in 1968 or 1969. 22:38.920 --> 22:44.780 He also prophesied that by 1998, Los Angeles and San Francisco would be 22:44.780 --> 22:49.400 destroyed by earthquakes, while much of Japan would be submerged in water. 22:53.040 --> 22:58.440 Despite such overwhelming failures, many researchers continue to insist that 22:58.440 --> 23:03.020 because such prophets seem partly accurate, their prophecies should be 23:03.020 --> 23:03.460 considered. 23:03.980 --> 23:08.620 But if their vision does not come from God, as the evidence proves, then where 23:08.620 --> 23:09.460 does it come from? 23:10.540 --> 23:16.520 I had a friend years ago who was supposedly the world's or one of the 23:16.520 --> 23:18.380 world's leading experts on Nostradamus. 23:18.700 --> 23:22.100 We used to talk about it a bit and he wrote books about it. 23:22.600 --> 23:28.260 He never convinced me of any valid prophecies of Nostradamus, but let's just 23:28.260 --> 23:31.360 say that there were some because they're ambiguous. 23:32.000 --> 23:33.240 Let's say that there were some. 23:33.580 --> 23:34.660 How could he be half right? 23:34.660 --> 23:40.460 He would have to be inspired, not by God, because God isn't half right. 23:41.580 --> 23:48.220 And he didn't even claim, you know, this is not God, this is some visions or 23:48.220 --> 23:50.660 whatever that he's getting from some source. 23:51.340 --> 23:54.940 But he is not in line with the prophets of God. 23:55.000 --> 23:57.040 He's not in agreement with the prophets of God. 23:57.420 --> 23:58.960 He's not bringing anybody to God. 23:59.040 --> 24:01.740 So his source would have to be something else. 24:06.200 --> 24:14.680 I believe that Satan can make predictions only if his agents fulfill them. 24:15.520 --> 24:19.380 So he can predict disasters and so forth and make them happen. 24:19.500 --> 24:20.540 I mean, Satan can do things. 24:20.640 --> 24:26.460 In the book of Job, he sent a wind that knocked a house down and he had such 24:26.460 --> 24:29.720 control over it that he spared always. 24:29.720 --> 24:34.060 He stirred up the Sabaeans and the Chaldeans to come and, you know, 24:34.140 --> 24:36.580 capture Job's flocks and kill his servants. 24:36.780 --> 24:40.820 Always one was left to come and tell Job. 24:41.300 --> 24:45.260 So he has apparently some power if God allows him to do that. 24:46.560 --> 24:50.380 And so Satan could do some things that would seem supernatural. 24:50.380 --> 24:57.740 And he probably has an IQ of several trillion, I don't know, better computers 24:57.740 --> 24:58.240 than we have. 24:58.260 --> 24:59.480 He probably doesn't need computers. 24:59.720 --> 25:04.000 So he could extrapolate and, you know, figure out what things might happen. 25:04.400 --> 25:08.680 So you could get some accuracy, but not 100%. 25:08.680 --> 25:11.080 I mean, not even close to it. 25:11.300 --> 25:15.180 So the very fact that it's not 100% proves this is not from God. 25:16.600 --> 25:21.000 But false prophecy is not limited to cults and New Age adherents. 25:21.440 --> 25:24.520 It seems to have an accepted place in certain churches. 25:25.200 --> 25:29.620 Rick Joyner, a self-professed prophet who has written books about his repeated 25:29.620 --> 25:35.800 visions of Jesus Christ, countless angels, the armies of hell, and the devil himself, 25:36.000 --> 25:39.380 actually contends against the warning in Deuteronomy. 25:39.380 --> 25:40.520 He writes, 25:57.880 --> 26:02.800 Joyner's defense for false prophecy is that no one could step out in the faith 26:02.800 --> 26:08.280 required to walk in his calling if he knew that a single mistake would ruin him for 26:08.280 --> 26:08.640 life. 26:37.960 --> 26:39.360 He supports the notion that 26:56.720 --> 27:00.620 Nowhere in the Bible are God's prophets trained in such a manner. 27:01.840 --> 27:06.720 The prophet Samuel was called by God as a boy, but the scripture tells us that 27:07.280 --> 27:09.360 Samuel grew, and the Lord became a man. 27:09.380 --> 27:13.340 The Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. 27:14.060 --> 27:15.960 God's warning seems clear. 27:41.750 --> 27:44.090 Have you not seen a vain vision? 27:44.090 --> 27:46.890 And have you not spoken a lying divination? 27:47.850 --> 27:52.470 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, because you have spoken falsehood and seen 27:52.470 --> 27:56.750 a lie, therefore, behold, I am against you, declares the Lord. 27:58.230 --> 28:02.830 My hand will be against the prophets that see vanity and that divine lies. 28:04.090 --> 28:08.750 They shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in 28:08.750 --> 28:10.150 the writing of the house of Israel. 28:10.730 --> 28:13.490 And ye shall know that I am the Lord God. 28:17.030 --> 28:17.650 The Lord God. 28:19.190 --> 28:24.470 Traveling away from the prophets that God says shall not profit this people at all, 28:24.750 --> 28:27.450 we press on to the true prophecies of God. 28:28.330 --> 28:33.390 As Daniel declared, there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets and makes known 28:33.390 --> 28:35.550 what shall be in the latter days. 28:36.950 --> 28:42.510 Nearly 2,000 years ago, the apostle John received a vision of the end of the world. 28:42.510 --> 28:47.910 Jesus said to him, write the things which thou hast seen and the things which are 28:47.910 --> 28:50.350 and the things which shall be hereafter. 28:51.050 --> 28:56.750 He said, I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify to you these things in the 28:56.750 --> 28:57.070 churches. 28:57.890 --> 29:03.150 And so John begins his book saying, Blessed is he that readeth and they that 29:03.150 --> 29:07.790 hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein, 29:08.110 --> 29:09.590 for the time is at hand. 29:10.990 --> 29:16.810 Certainly the book of Revelation is the premier source of information about the 29:16.810 --> 29:17.650 last days. 29:18.050 --> 29:22.510 In the midst of many visions, John witnessed something that has intrigued 29:22.510 --> 29:24.210 Bible scholars for centuries. 29:24.790 --> 29:28.650 A one world empire that would come to power in the last days. 29:29.010 --> 29:32.110 An empire ultimately ruled by one man. 29:32.890 --> 29:39.490 I think the clearest evidence in the Bible, probably the books Revelation and 29:39.490 --> 29:45.770 Daniel speak to it most specifically, but I think Revelation 13 is indisputable 29:45.770 --> 29:51.430 as far as every nation, kindred, and tongue worshipping the beast. 29:52.710 --> 29:56.830 Nobody being able to buy or sell, he causes awe, the small and the great, 29:57.170 --> 29:59.070 the rich and the poor, the free and the bond. 29:59.530 --> 30:05.010 John describes a mysterious figure called the beast, a man who will be the one world 30:05.010 --> 30:05.370 ruler. 30:05.370 --> 30:10.230 We find in the book of Daniel that his empire will rule the world. 30:10.810 --> 30:15.290 And we also find that in the book of Revelation, that every nation, 30:15.430 --> 30:18.530 kindred, and tongue is subject to him and nobody can buy or sell without his mark. 30:18.970 --> 30:23.430 And power was given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations. 30:24.130 --> 30:29.370 This beast is supported by a second beast known as the false prophet, who compels 30:29.370 --> 30:31.570 all the world to worship the beast. 30:32.330 --> 30:37.850 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and enslaved, 30:38.270 --> 30:43.090 to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, and that no man might 30:43.090 --> 30:48.390 buy or sell except he that had the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of 30:48.390 --> 30:48.890 his name. 30:50.010 --> 30:50.850 Here is wisdom. 30:51.250 --> 30:55.610 Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number 30:55.610 --> 31:00.030 of a man, and his number is six hundred, threescore, and six. 31:01.570 --> 31:06.030 That passage describes a global government, absolute dictatorship, 31:06.470 --> 31:11.990 a global economy, no one can buy or sell unless they have the mark, and a global 31:11.990 --> 31:14.370 coercion that is made possible. 31:14.630 --> 31:18.030 So if you have everybody, and that covers everybody, and God went to great lengths 31:18.030 --> 31:23.890 to say rich and poor, free and bond, you know, and so forth, to make us 31:23.890 --> 31:27.550 understand that this was a worldwide unification in every nation, kindred, 31:27.610 --> 31:27.930 and tongue. 31:28.840 --> 31:33.110 But this one world empire had been witnessed centuries earlier by the prophet 31:33.110 --> 31:33.610 Daniel. 31:34.570 --> 31:38.690 Nebuchadnezzar, the king of ancient Babylon, was given a dream of a great 31:38.690 --> 31:39.170 image. 31:39.950 --> 31:45.230 God sent Daniel to interpret the dream and revealed that the figure represented four 31:45.230 --> 31:47.550 world empires that would come to power. 31:47.550 --> 31:54.150 Daniel is a remarkable book, and it has a lot to say about the last days. 31:54.430 --> 32:00.170 Truthfully, I find much of what Daniel says very difficult, not in the category 32:00.170 --> 32:05.010 of Nostradamus, because it's saying something very definite, but I find it 32:05.010 --> 32:06.790 difficult to understand exactly what it's saying. 32:06.870 --> 32:13.010 Now much of what it says is very clear, even in its symbology. 32:13.010 --> 32:17.230 For example, the image that Nebuchadnezzar saw. 32:17.610 --> 32:22.530 When Daniel interpreted the dream, he said, You, O king, saw, and behold, 32:22.770 --> 32:23.610 a great image. 32:24.150 --> 32:28.470 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, 32:28.970 --> 32:34.790 his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of iron 32:34.790 --> 32:35.950 and part of clay. 32:36.750 --> 32:41.890 You saw till a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image upon his feet 32:41.890 --> 32:44.790 that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces. 32:45.510 --> 32:50.130 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver and the gold broken to pieces 32:50.130 --> 32:52.350 together and became like the chaff. 32:53.190 --> 32:56.930 And the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them. 32:57.810 --> 33:02.310 And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain and filled the whole 33:02.310 --> 33:02.730 earth. 33:04.310 --> 33:08.830 Daniel went on to explain the vision, saying, This is the dream, and we will 33:08.830 --> 33:10.650 tell the interpretation thereof. 33:11.190 --> 33:16.010 He revealed that the first kingdom was Babylon itself, under Nebuchadnezzar. 33:16.490 --> 33:19.530 He said, You, O king, are a king of kings. 33:19.930 --> 33:21.650 You are this head of gold. 33:22.330 --> 33:27.790 Daniel went on to describe the future empire, saying, And after you shall arise 33:27.790 --> 33:32.890 another kingdom inferior to you, and another third kingdom of bronze, 33:33.110 --> 33:35.010 which shall rule over all the earth. 33:35.810 --> 33:40.830 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces 33:40.830 --> 33:42.850 and subdues all things. 33:43.350 --> 33:47.430 So it is that this fourth empire is to subdue all the earth. 33:47.430 --> 33:52.770 But Daniel continued, saying, And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and 33:52.770 --> 33:56.910 part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly broken. 33:57.650 --> 34:01.490 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, 34:01.630 --> 34:03.150 which shall never be destroyed. 34:03.950 --> 34:09.150 And the kingdom shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall 34:09.150 --> 34:10.110 stand forever. 34:11.250 --> 34:15.710 The great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter, 34:15.950 --> 34:19.250 and the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it sure. 34:21.910 --> 34:27.510 In time, Nebuchadnezzar was lifted up in pride, and God humbled him by giving him 34:27.510 --> 34:30.050 the heart of a beast and driving him from his kingdom. 34:30.890 --> 34:34.750 When seven years had passed, Nebuchadnezzar learned his lesson and was 34:34.750 --> 34:35.210 restored. 34:35.910 --> 34:39.670 After him came his son, Belshazzar, who held a great feast. 34:40.110 --> 34:44.770 In his folly, King Belshazzar brought out the sacred vessels of the God of Israel 34:44.770 --> 34:48.050 and drank wine from them while praising other gods. 34:48.550 --> 34:53.970 The Bible says that in the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand and wrote 34:53.970 --> 34:55.870 upon the wall of the king's palace. 34:56.410 --> 35:01.310 The king was terrified and called for his astrologers and wise men to read the 35:01.310 --> 35:02.070 strange writing. 35:02.550 --> 35:06.670 But none could do so, so the queen suggested he send for the prophet Daniel. 35:06.670 --> 35:12.930 When Daniel arrived, he said, O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar, 35:13.030 --> 35:16.550 your father, a kingdom and majesty and glory and honor. 35:17.030 --> 35:21.650 But when his heart was lifted up and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed 35:21.650 --> 35:24.790 from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. 35:25.430 --> 35:29.870 And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you 35:29.870 --> 35:34.530 knew all this, but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven, and they have 35:34.530 --> 35:38.070 brought the vessels of his house before you, have drunk wine from them, 35:38.190 --> 35:41.190 and you have praised the gods of silver and gold. 35:41.730 --> 35:45.650 And the God in whose hand your breath is, you have not glorified. 35:46.190 --> 35:49.490 Then Daniel said, This is the interpretation of the thing. 35:50.070 --> 35:52.830 God has numbered your kingdom and finished it. 35:53.250 --> 35:55.990 You are weighed in the balances and found wanting. 35:56.410 --> 36:00.110 Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and the Persians. 36:00.110 --> 36:05.510 That night, Belshazzar was slain, and so it was that the second kingdom, 36:05.910 --> 36:10.990 represented by the chest and two arms of silver, was the Medo-Persian Empire under 36:10.990 --> 36:15.350 Cyrus the Great, who conquered Babylon in 539 B.C. 36:15.910 --> 36:20.690 God had even named Cyrus about two centuries before his birth in the book of 36:20.690 --> 36:21.130 Isaiah. 36:21.590 --> 36:26.770 God says of him, Cyrus, he is my shepherd and shall perform all my pleasure, 36:27.430 --> 36:29.790 saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built. 36:30.110 --> 36:32.890 And to the temple, thy foundation shall be laid. 36:33.850 --> 36:38.470 In fulfillment of God's prophecy, Cyrus was responsible for the return of 36:38.470 --> 36:41.490 the Jews to Jerusalem and for the rebuilding of the temple. 36:42.390 --> 36:47.810 His kingdom continued for nearly 200 years until the coming of Alexander the Great, 36:48.110 --> 36:53.590 the king of Greece, the third empire, symbolized by the belly and thighs of 36:53.590 --> 36:54.050 brass. 36:55.230 --> 37:00.650 Alexander defeated the kings of Medea and Persia, an event specifically prophesied 37:00.650 --> 37:05.250 by Daniel, who was given a vision of a he-goat and a ram with two horns. 37:05.650 --> 37:10.670 The prophecy says that the goat smote the ram and broke his two horns, and then 37:10.670 --> 37:15.610 tells us specifically, the ram which you saw having two horns, these are the kings 37:15.610 --> 37:19.670 of Medea and Persia, and the rough goat is the king of Greece. 37:20.390 --> 37:25.230 Alexander himself was prophesied by Daniel, called the great horn of the 37:25.230 --> 37:30.210 he-goat, telling us that this great horn is the first king of the Greek empire. 37:30.710 --> 37:35.190 The scripture says, the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, 37:35.470 --> 37:40.370 the great horn was broken, and for it came up four notable horns toward the four 37:40.370 --> 37:41.150 winds of heaven. 37:41.150 --> 37:45.890 In fulfillment of God's prophecy, when the Greek empire had conquered most 37:45.890 --> 37:50.190 of the civilized world, Alexander, the great horn, at the height of his 37:50.190 --> 37:56.030 power, was broken off, and died suddenly of a fever at the young age of 33. 37:57.410 --> 38:01.930 The four notable horns that came up afterward were Alexander's four generals, 38:02.110 --> 38:04.490 who divided the kingdom amongst themselves. 38:05.610 --> 38:10.710 Daniel went on to prophesy that Alexander's kingdom would be broken and be 38:10.710 --> 38:15.130 divided, though not to his own descendants, for his kingdom shall be 38:15.130 --> 38:17.730 plucked up and given to others besides them. 38:18.250 --> 38:23.490 After Alexander's death, we read, Philip, his half-brother, Alexander the 38:23.490 --> 38:28.710 second, his legitimate son, and Hercules, his illegitimate son, were all three 38:28.710 --> 38:31.890 murdered, and Alexander's four generals took over. 38:41.550 --> 38:46.650 Daniel's prophecies are so specific, even foretelling the reign of Antiochus 38:46.650 --> 38:51.250 Epiphanes, who would ruthlessly persecute the Jews in the 2nd century BC, 38:51.690 --> 38:55.770 that critics have attempted to argue that Daniel must have been written after the 38:55.770 --> 38:56.650 events described. 38:57.190 --> 39:02.030 But Daniel's authorship was not questioned until about the 3rd century AD, 39:02.630 --> 39:05.010 nearly 900 years after it was written. 39:05.010 --> 39:10.050 The first to object was the Greek philosopher and historian Porphyry. 39:10.810 --> 39:16.090 The Encyclopedia Britannica tells us that Porphyry was well-known as a violent 39:16.090 --> 39:19.270 opponent of Christianity and defender of paganism. 39:20.050 --> 39:25.430 In defense of Daniel, the Jewish historian Josephus, who lived in the 1st century AD, 39:25.990 --> 39:30.470 confirms Daniel's authorship, and chronicles how Alexander the Great 39:30.470 --> 39:32.250 encountered the Book of Daniel. 39:32.250 --> 39:37.830 He writes, quote, When the Book of Daniel was showed him, wherein Daniel declared 39:37.830 --> 39:42.710 that one of the Greeks should destroy the empire of the Persians, he supposed that 39:42.710 --> 39:44.770 himself was the person intended. 39:45.970 --> 39:51.750 Originally in Hebrew, the Book of Daniel was translated into Greek prior to 270 BC 39:51.750 --> 39:56.870 in a document known as the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old 39:56.870 --> 39:57.310 Testament. 39:57.310 --> 40:02.170 This confirms the writing of Daniel well before a number of the prophecies, 40:02.510 --> 40:05.410 including that of Antiochus Epiphanes, occurred. 40:06.150 --> 40:10.890 The Septuagint itself is an often-debated work, but its history is confirmed by 40:10.890 --> 40:16.250 Josephus, who gives a detailed account of how its translation came about in the 3rd 40:16.250 --> 40:17.130 century BC. 40:17.900 --> 40:23.310 The Book of Ezekiel, written in the 6th century BC, also makes mention of Daniel, 40:23.610 --> 40:28.310 as did Jesus himself, who said specifically, When you shall see the 40:28.310 --> 40:33.650 abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, whosoever reads, 40:33.990 --> 40:35.030 let him understand. 40:35.750 --> 40:40.690 Meanwhile, the arguments against the date of Daniel's writing consist only of 40:40.690 --> 40:44.070 unbelieving objections rather than historical evidence. 40:45.050 --> 40:51.390 The dominance of the Third Empire continued until about 169 BC, when the 40:51.390 --> 40:56.270 Greeks lost control of ancient Macedon to the fourth kingdom of Daniel's prophecy. 41:09.670 --> 41:14.230 The history of Rome's origin is cloaked in mystery. 41:14.730 --> 41:20.830 According to legend, the city was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus in 753 BC. 41:20.830 --> 41:26.210 The twins were the illegitimate sons of Mars, the god of war, who raped a vestal 41:26.210 --> 41:27.490 virgin while she slept. 41:27.970 --> 41:31.950 When the twins were outcast, they were suckled by a she-wolf, an event 41:31.950 --> 41:34.250 commemorated in many Roman images. 41:34.250 --> 41:39.550 Another version of the story tells of a shepherd finding them and taking them to 41:39.550 --> 41:41.810 his wife, a former prostitute. 41:42.270 --> 41:46.290 Part of the mystery of these accounts comes from the use of the word luper, 41:46.710 --> 41:51.150 which in Latin means both she-wolf and prostitute, or harlot. 41:52.610 --> 41:58.510 In time, the twins would found the city of Rome, named after Romulus, who would 41:58.510 --> 42:02.270 murder his brother Remus in a quarrel and become Rome's first king. 42:03.030 --> 42:08.750 After a long reign, Romulus vanished into a thunderstorm and supposedly became a 42:08.750 --> 42:09.150 god. 42:09.710 --> 42:14.290 Later, he reappeared and, descending from the sky, declared to those who listened 42:14.290 --> 42:18.970 that, quote, it is the will of heaven that Rome be the capital of the world. 42:20.390 --> 42:25.910 Centuries later, when Rome went from being a republic to a world empire, it was said 42:25.910 --> 42:31.070 of her first emperor, Augustus, that he subjected the whole wide earth to 42:31.070 --> 42:32.770 the rule of the Roman people. 42:33.590 --> 42:38.150 Though mightiest of the four, God's prophecy makes it clear that this fourth 42:38.150 --> 42:43.870 kingdom would be divided, a division symbolized by the feet part of iron and 42:43.870 --> 42:44.670 part of clay. 42:45.130 --> 42:49.310 Yet some scholars find an earlier division in the two legs of iron. 42:50.010 --> 42:58.150 The Roman is depicted by the two legs of this image, and the Roman Empire was 42:58.150 --> 43:03.650 indeed split in two, just as that image foretold. 43:03.650 --> 43:08.530 The eastern leg of the old Roman Empire. 43:09.070 --> 43:13.270 In other words, up to recently, you know, a lot of the prophecy buffs have 43:13.270 --> 43:17.590 been looking at the old Roman Empire and looked at Europe and drew this nice little 43:17.590 --> 43:19.850 circle around Europe and said, well, you know, it's going to come from 43:19.850 --> 43:20.610 one of these countries. 43:20.810 --> 43:26.990 Well, what most people forget is that Rome had an eastern leg, and that was the 43:26.990 --> 43:30.730 Byzantine Empire, Constantinople, until it fell, I think, 14-something or 43:30.730 --> 43:33.030 other to the Turks and became Istanbul. 43:33.710 --> 43:40.130 It was split in two in 1054 A.D., when the Pope in Rome excommunicated 43:40.130 --> 43:46.590 Michael Serularius, the patriarch of Constantinople, and it was split between 43:46.590 --> 43:51.450 Roman Catholicism in the west, eastern orthodoxy, Greek and Russian and 43:51.450 --> 43:53.150 so forth orthodoxy in the east. 43:53.150 --> 43:57.150 So it was split religiously at that time. 43:57.410 --> 44:02.550 It had already been split in 330 A.D., when Constantine moved his headquarters to 44:02.550 --> 44:03.490 Constantinople. 44:03.950 --> 44:08.730 You had this whole thriving civilization for, you know, over a thousand years that 44:08.730 --> 44:13.150 was the eastern empire and didn't break down really until, you know, the Muslims 44:13.150 --> 44:13.910 finally took it over. 44:19.770 --> 44:25.270 So important is the understanding of the four world empires that God showed Daniel 44:25.270 --> 44:29.390 another vision of these kingdoms, symbolized by four great beasts. 44:29.930 --> 44:33.510 The four beasts parallel the four dimensions of the statue in 44:33.510 --> 44:34.790 Nebuchadnezzar's dream. 44:35.310 --> 44:36.690 All four beasts are history. 44:37.370 --> 44:40.970 There have been four world empires, the Babylonian, the Medo-Persian, 44:41.070 --> 44:41.990 the Grecian and the Roman. 44:41.990 --> 44:47.090 While most researchers agree that the first three beasts have come, it is this 44:47.090 --> 44:50.030 fourth beast that has yet to reach its complete fulfillment. 44:50.670 --> 44:55.470 Of the vision, Daniel wrote, Behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible. 44:55.910 --> 44:59.750 It was diverse from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 45:00.510 --> 45:02.990 And there came up among them another little horn. 45:02.990 --> 45:08.630 In this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things. 45:09.170 --> 45:13.670 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints and prevailed against them 45:13.670 --> 45:15.810 until the Ancient of Days came. 45:17.130 --> 45:21.330 Then the angel who stood by said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth 45:21.330 --> 45:24.110 kingdom on earth and shall devour the whole earth. 45:24.550 --> 45:29.470 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise, and another 45:29.470 --> 45:30.890 shall rise after them. 45:30.890 --> 45:36.890 The ten kings are also represented by the ten toes of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's 45:36.890 --> 45:37.290 dream. 45:37.870 --> 45:42.890 Daniel prophesied that, In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up 45:42.890 --> 45:44.970 a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. 45:45.850 --> 45:53.390 So we know that the Millennial Kingdom of Christ can only occur at a time when there 45:53.390 --> 45:55.710 are ten kings ruling the world. 45:55.710 --> 45:59.810 This revived Roman Empire will come under ten heads. 45:59.890 --> 46:03.530 Now I never believed they were the ten nations of Western Europe, because the 46:03.530 --> 46:05.870 Roman Empire itself was much larger than Western Europe. 46:06.370 --> 46:13.070 It went all down through Syria and Turkey and Syria and Lebanon and all across North 46:13.070 --> 46:15.170 Africa and so forth. 46:16.070 --> 46:21.790 So the world will be divided into ten regions under ten local heads. 46:21.790 --> 46:25.530 And already for computer reasons, for banking reasons, the world has been 46:25.530 --> 46:25.890 divided. 46:26.030 --> 46:29.530 The Club of Rome divided the world 25 years ago into ten regions. 46:29.670 --> 46:33.150 And that's pretty much the way it's laid out today. 46:33.910 --> 46:38.030 In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will establish a kingdom. 46:38.650 --> 46:42.450 So if the rabbis had known that one prophecy, if the disciples of John the 46:42.450 --> 46:46.110 Baptist had known that one prophecy, it would have solved a lot of problems for 46:46.110 --> 46:46.270 them. 46:46.270 --> 46:50.430 Because John the Baptist sent two disciples, you remember, from prison. 46:50.550 --> 46:56.890 He said to Jesus, Hey, Lord, I ought to at least be prime minister. 46:57.050 --> 46:58.050 I introduced you to Israel. 46:58.190 --> 47:03.690 If you're going to take the throne of your father David, how come I'm about to get my 47:03.690 --> 47:04.310 head cut off? 47:04.350 --> 47:05.270 It doesn't make sense. 47:05.930 --> 47:08.010 They thought the kingdom would be established then. 47:08.270 --> 47:08.650 No, no, no. 47:08.690 --> 47:14.290 It will only be established when those ten kings, in the days of those ten kings. 47:14.290 --> 47:20.110 These ten kings were also witnessed by the apostle John, who saw a vision of a beast 47:20.110 --> 47:21.950 with seven heads and ten horns. 47:27.170 --> 47:31.910 The angel said to him, the ten horns which you saw are ten kings. 47:32.450 --> 47:36.870 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 47:50.850 --> 47:55.950 So the world is to be ruled by ten men, who will ultimately give their power to 47:55.950 --> 48:01.490 one man, the little horn of Daniel's vision, the mysterious figure known as the 48:01.490 --> 48:04.590 man of sin and son of perdition, Antichrist. 48:07.710 --> 48:12.930 There are some people who say, well, the Antichrist will be somebody from 48:12.930 --> 48:18.130 the past, like Hitler, or Genghis Khan, or who knows what, resurrected. 48:18.690 --> 48:21.810 No, Satan cannot resurrect anybody. 48:22.650 --> 48:23.930 He does not have that power. 48:24.470 --> 48:26.130 It says he has a deadly wound. 48:26.570 --> 48:31.630 See, people talk about, the fourth beast represents the Antichrist and the revived 48:31.630 --> 48:32.270 Roman Empire. 48:32.850 --> 48:35.510 Then it says, I saw one of his heads. 48:35.530 --> 48:37.790 He's got seven heads. 48:38.790 --> 48:46.010 I saw one of his heads, as it were, wounded to death, and his deadly wound was 48:46.010 --> 48:49.110 healed, and all the world wondered after the beast. 48:49.190 --> 48:50.750 So this is not a resurrection. 48:51.130 --> 48:52.530 The beast has never been killed. 48:53.430 --> 48:54.310 You can read your history. 48:54.330 --> 48:56.990 I don't know much about history, but I read a little bit of history, 48:57.090 --> 49:00.330 and I can tell you, I mean you know, that all down through history, 49:00.570 --> 49:05.050 all the great families in Europe, they've all dreamed of the revival of the 49:05.050 --> 49:05.690 Roman Empire. 49:06.670 --> 49:08.410 This empire has never been dead. 49:09.390 --> 49:15.210 It was wounded, as it were, to death, but the deadly wound was healed. 49:15.310 --> 49:16.630 This is a healing, not a resurrection. 49:16.630 --> 49:20.890 And all the world wondered after the beast. 49:21.070 --> 49:23.790 And they worshipped the dragon, who gave power unto the beast. 49:24.270 --> 49:27.230 And they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? 49:27.350 --> 49:28.990 Who is able to make war with him? 49:29.350 --> 49:34.170 The Bible says that all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names 49:34.170 --> 49:36.590 are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb. 49:37.230 --> 49:41.770 Scholars believe this worship denotes a one-world religion, focused on both the 49:41.770 --> 49:45.710 dragon, whom the Bible calls Satan, and the beast, or Antichrist. 49:47.030 --> 49:52.390 This apostate church, as some have called it, is symbolized by yet another figure in 49:52.390 --> 49:53.290 John's Revelation. 49:53.770 --> 49:58.170 The angel said to him, Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great 49:58.170 --> 50:00.430 harlot that sits upon many waters. 50:01.210 --> 50:06.030 So he carried me away, and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, 50:06.410 --> 50:08.370 having seven heads and ten horns. 50:08.370 --> 50:13.410 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, having a golden cup in her hand, 50:13.730 --> 50:14.810 full of abominations. 50:15.270 --> 50:20.610 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of 50:20.610 --> 50:22.790 harlots and abominations of the earth. 50:25.130 --> 50:26.270 This is incredible. 50:27.470 --> 50:30.530 This is the fourth time this beast has been seen in the Bible. 50:30.770 --> 50:32.650 It never did have a woman on its back before. 50:32.650 --> 50:39.310 We never hear an expression of surprise or astonishment from anybody, but now he 50:39.310 --> 50:45.010 says, When I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 50:45.230 --> 50:48.230 He doesn't admire her, he's astonished. 50:49.410 --> 50:54.450 A woman rides the beast, and not like in a rodeo, the critter isn't trying to buck 50:54.450 --> 50:54.930 her off. 50:54.930 --> 50:56.790 She's apparently in control. 50:57.070 --> 50:57.470 A woman? 50:58.350 --> 50:59.410 On a beast? 50:59.910 --> 51:03.090 In this horrible world-devouring creature? 51:03.670 --> 51:06.950 And a woman is riding on it, apparently directing it. 51:08.070 --> 51:11.510 And I think the Bible makes it very clear who that woman is. 51:11.710 --> 51:13.770 He gives us all the identifying characteristics. 51:17.970 --> 51:23.230 While the specific identity of the harlot is a matter of great debate, for now it 51:23.230 --> 51:28.550 can be said that most scholars agree she represents a world religious system and is 51:28.550 --> 51:31.610 called a harlot because of her unfaithfulness to God. 51:32.150 --> 51:37.150 It is believed this religious system somehow controls or manipulates the coming 51:37.150 --> 51:42.210 one-world government, symbolized by the fact that the woman rides the beast. 51:42.210 --> 51:47.810 There are signs the world is speedily coming to an end. 51:48.270 --> 51:53.670 These words are attributed to an Assyrian clay tablet dated 2800 B.C. 51:54.090 --> 51:58.670 It seems that men have believed the end is near in almost every generation. 51:59.350 --> 52:04.770 Pope Innocent III pronounced the second coming of Christ in the year 1284 A.D. 52:04.950 --> 52:10.590 because this date was supposedly 666 years after the founding of Islam. 52:10.590 --> 52:15.150 There have been many such predictions that have often compelled men to extreme 52:15.150 --> 52:15.710 behavior. 52:16.450 --> 52:22.730 In 1669, a cult in Russia known as the Old Believers began setting themselves on fire 52:22.730 --> 52:24.670 to protect themselves from Antichrist. 52:25.610 --> 52:30.710 It is reported that by 1690, 20,000 people had perished as a result. 52:31.370 --> 52:36.550 In the 19th century, a second Adventist named William Miller convinced thousands 52:36.550 --> 52:38.590 that the world would end in 1843. 52:39.390 --> 52:44.030 But when that date came and went, Miller recalculated and claimed the date 52:44.030 --> 52:47.570 was really October 22nd of the following year. 52:48.710 --> 52:53.210 Charles Taze Russell, the claimed founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses, was convinced 52:53.210 --> 52:59.430 by Nelson Barber that Jesus Christ had returned in 1874, but that his return had 52:59.430 --> 53:00.450 been invisible. 53:00.450 --> 53:05.630 Russell went on to promote this teaching, saying, quote, The millennium began in 53:05.630 --> 53:08.690 1874 with the return of Christ. 53:09.170 --> 53:13.770 Russell would later revise his view, and since then the Jehovah's Witnesses 53:13.770 --> 53:22.330 have predicted the world would end in 1914, 1918, 1925, 1941, and 1975. 53:24.150 --> 53:30.150 But as contrary as they seem, even these things are the fulfillment of God's 53:30.150 --> 53:30.830 prophecies. 53:31.290 --> 53:37.090 Jesus said, Take heed that no man deceive you, for many shall come in my name and 53:37.090 --> 53:38.130 shall deceive many. 53:38.690 --> 53:40.730 False prophets shall rise, he said. 53:41.050 --> 53:42.970 Behold, I have told you before. 53:42.970 --> 53:47.510 The Lord said that, Of that day and hour knows no man. 53:48.030 --> 53:52.070 Some have taken this to mean that Christians need not pay attention to Bible 53:52.070 --> 53:52.650 prophecy. 53:53.250 --> 53:58.990 But Jesus also said, Watch therefore, because you do not know what hour your 53:58.990 --> 53:59.770 Lord will come. 54:00.170 --> 54:03.790 And what I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch. 54:04.530 --> 54:10.310 Considering these things, what is it about this time on earth that sets it apart from 54:10.310 --> 54:13.090 all those centuries that have come before us? 54:14.270 --> 54:22.530 Any time prior to the 20th century, the 666 and any other date that has 54:22.530 --> 54:27.770 actually been predicted would have been an impossibility as far as what the Biblical 54:27.770 --> 54:33.050 parameters were in the model that Jesus set forth to show forth the end of the 54:33.050 --> 54:33.770 world in Armageddon. 54:33.790 --> 54:39.550 And we know that because the Bible told us that Israel would have to become a nation 54:39.550 --> 54:39.810 again. 54:39.910 --> 54:43.290 We know that Israel would have to become a nation again based on several different 54:43.290 --> 54:43.890 prophecies. 54:44.090 --> 54:50.130 The most significant prophecy, I think, has to do with the restoration of 54:50.130 --> 54:53.270 Israel to its land, which happened in 1948. 54:54.110 --> 55:01.730 Right after World War II, you had this great influx of Jews, who became later 55:01.730 --> 55:07.030 Israelis, into the ancient homeland of Israel after 2,000 years of diaspora. 55:08.050 --> 55:09.930 2,000 years, almost. 55:10.450 --> 55:14.530 You've got these people coming from all over the world into Israel in 1948. 55:14.530 --> 55:17.330 Now, 1948 was when they became a homeland. 55:17.930 --> 55:19.610 But prior to that, they were all there. 55:19.890 --> 55:24.530 From the end of the war, from 1945 on, they were there, and we all know what 55:24.530 --> 55:24.890 happens. 55:25.670 --> 55:29.230 The British pull out, a nation becomes a nation in a day. 55:29.370 --> 55:32.430 It's kind of bizarre, after 2,000 years. 55:33.490 --> 55:37.670 Some have considered that certain prophecies concerning the return of the 55:37.670 --> 55:41.750 Jews to the Promised Land may have been fulfilled when they returned from their 55:41.750 --> 55:44.510 ancient captivity in Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar. 55:44.530 --> 55:49.990 Yet, centuries after this return, Jesus prophesied that they would be 55:49.990 --> 55:53.430 scattered again, in fulfillment of further prophecies. 55:53.990 --> 55:58.190 Jesus foretold of the destruction of Jerusalem and the scattering of the Jews, 55:58.530 --> 56:03.910 and historic event, now known as the Diaspora, that would occur in 70 A.D. 56:03.910 --> 56:08.930 He spoke of the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be 56:08.930 --> 56:09.430 fulfilled. 56:09.850 --> 56:14.310 For there shall be wrath upon this people, he said, and they shall fall by the edge 56:14.310 --> 56:18.230 of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations. 56:18.710 --> 56:23.670 And Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles 56:23.670 --> 56:24.490 be fulfilled. 56:24.990 --> 56:30.690 When he brought them into the land, he warned them, if they disobeyed his 56:30.690 --> 56:32.890 voice, he would cast them out, not just next door. 56:33.870 --> 56:37.130 He would scatter them to every nation on the face of this earth. 56:37.210 --> 56:43.190 You find that in Amos 9.9, you find that in Deuteronomy 28, verse 64. 56:43.470 --> 56:47.490 I mean, all through the Bible, over and over and over, God said he would 56:47.490 --> 56:50.870 scatter them, he would sift them like wheat among all the nations of the earth. 56:50.870 --> 56:51.510 And it happened. 56:52.010 --> 56:53.590 We call them the wandering Jew. 56:53.730 --> 56:54.690 You find them everywhere. 56:56.550 --> 57:02.070 And God said that during their dispersion, they would be hated, persecuted, 57:02.550 --> 57:08.450 killed, mocked, like no other people on the face of this earth. 57:08.670 --> 57:12.130 Anti-Semitism is laid out in detail. 57:12.710 --> 57:17.850 In the Old Testament, God said to the children of Israel, it shall come to pass, 57:17.990 --> 57:22.530 if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, that all these curses 57:22.530 --> 57:23.690 shall come upon you. 57:29.520 --> 57:33.640 The Lord shall cause you to be defeated before your enemies, and you shall be 57:33.640 --> 57:36.000 removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 57:36.360 --> 57:40.840 And you shall be left few in number, whereas you are numerous as the stars of 57:40.840 --> 57:43.640 heaven, because you would not obey the Lord your God. 57:44.360 --> 57:48.360 And the Lord shall scatter you among all people from the one end of the earth to 57:48.360 --> 57:48.760 the other. 57:50.020 --> 57:54.340 And among these nations you will find no ease, neither shall the sole of your foot 57:54.340 --> 57:55.120 find rest. 57:55.540 --> 57:59.260 But the Lord shall give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, 57:59.540 --> 58:00.740 and sorrow of mind. 58:01.280 --> 58:06.200 And your life shall hang in doubt before you, and you will be in dread night and 58:06.200 --> 58:10.720 day, and shall have no assurance of your life, and no man shall save you. 58:11.540 --> 58:15.880 Your sons and your daughters shall be given unto another people, while your eyes 58:15.880 --> 58:17.260 look on and yearn for them. 58:18.080 --> 58:19.840 But there will be nothing you can do. 58:22.780 --> 58:26.540 And you will never be anything but oppressed and crushed continually, 58:26.940 --> 58:30.140 so that you will be driven mad by the sight of what you see. 58:31.340 --> 58:36.400 And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all nations, 58:36.600 --> 58:38.320 to which the Lord shall lead you. 58:40.100 --> 58:46.100 And there is no people ever in history that has been marked in that way, 58:46.540 --> 58:47.460 like the Jews. 58:48.060 --> 58:51.220 That in itself would be enough to tell you that the Bible is true. 58:51.840 --> 58:56.140 God said they would be hated and persecuted and killed, but he would not 58:56.140 --> 58:57.060 let them be destroyed. 58:57.840 --> 58:59.900 Hear the word of the Lord, O you nations. 59:00.360 --> 59:05.360 He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd does his flock. 59:06.060 --> 59:10.220 And why do I believe the Jews are being encouraged to return to their land? 59:10.380 --> 59:13.040 Because God foretold that he would bring them all back. 59:13.700 --> 59:18.460 He said at the end of the age, in Old Testament prophecies, that he would 59:18.460 --> 59:21.820 bring them back to the land. 59:22.220 --> 59:26.540 And that once they were back to the land, they would never more be thrown out of it. 59:26.540 --> 59:31.560 And I will bring back my exiled people Israel, and they shall build the waste 59:31.560 --> 59:33.200 cities, and inhabit them. 59:33.620 --> 59:36.520 And they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine. 59:36.980 --> 59:39.900 They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 59:40.280 --> 59:44.560 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of 59:44.560 --> 59:48.220 their land, which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. 59:49.520 --> 59:56.260 So if you see Israel destroyed and annihilated, well then we can throw away 59:56.260 --> 59:56.720 our Bibles. 59:57.340 --> 59:59.700 And find another religion to believe in. 59:59.880 --> 01:00:04.200 Because God said absolutely clearly, he would not allow them to be defeated. 01:00:04.440 --> 01:00:10.040 The nation Israel, Israel will not cease to exist as a nation forever, God says. 01:00:10.040 --> 01:00:15.660 In Jeremiah 31, beginning at verse 35, and he says, if they cease, then there is 01:00:15.660 --> 01:00:18.680 no sun in the sky, there is no moon, there is no stars, the tides don't work, 01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:20.180 this universe is finished. 01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:22.340 That's how important Israel is. 01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:30.000 If you believe in the prophetic time clock, and I do, I believe that the only 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:35.920 way you can look, we as Christians can factor anything in at all, is you got to 01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:36.480 look at Israel. 01:00:36.480 --> 01:00:37.400 Israel is the key. 01:00:37.640 --> 01:00:38.800 Israel is the key. 01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:40.300 The prophecies hinge around Israel. 01:00:40.520 --> 01:00:43.100 Israel is the key to all end time events. 01:00:43.720 --> 01:00:56.340 And we show that the actual clock ticking down toward the end of the age, 01:00:56.840 --> 01:01:01.660 could not begin until Israel had returned back to our land. 01:01:01.660 --> 01:01:05.860 So if I lived 200 years ago, and you said, when is Jesus going to come back? 01:01:05.900 --> 01:01:06.860 And I would say, I don't know. 01:01:07.180 --> 01:01:08.040 He's going to come back. 01:01:08.300 --> 01:01:12.100 But I don't think we're in the window of time where that's going to happen. 01:01:12.480 --> 01:01:16.320 Also, Israel had to be a nation for Armageddon to take place, because in 01:01:16.320 --> 01:01:21.420 Zechariah 14, we see in 12-14, we see all the nations surrounding Israel. 01:01:21.940 --> 01:01:25.020 If Israel doesn't exist, you can't have all nations surrounding them to destroy 01:01:25.020 --> 01:01:25.280 them. 01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:30.580 The word Armageddon has become a general term for destruction, calamity, 01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:34.720 and the end of the world, as represented by various artists, filmmakers, 01:01:34.940 --> 01:01:35.360 and authors. 01:01:35.820 --> 01:01:38.240 Yet its biblical meaning is more specific. 01:01:38.820 --> 01:01:43.540 According to the Bible, Armageddon is what happens when all the nations of the earth 01:01:43.540 --> 01:01:47.280 are gathered together against Jerusalem and the Jews. 01:01:47.780 --> 01:01:52.380 God declared that in the last days, He would make Jerusalem a cup of trembling 01:01:52.380 --> 01:01:54.340 for all the nations of the earth. 01:01:55.580 --> 01:01:59.500 Zechariah chapter 12 tells us that they'd be a burdensome stone, that if anybody 01:01:59.500 --> 01:02:01.700 sought to lift that stone, they'd be injured. 01:02:02.200 --> 01:02:05.280 We see that the whole world is looking at Israel as a burdensome stone that's 01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:07.400 keeping the world from this world peace. 01:02:07.540 --> 01:02:13.820 God said, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling, a burdensome stone in the last 01:02:13.820 --> 01:02:17.680 days for all the nations of the world, when they're in their siege against 01:02:17.680 --> 01:02:18.160 Jerusalem. 01:02:18.780 --> 01:02:21.020 And there is a siege against Jerusalem today. 01:02:21.160 --> 01:02:22.340 I mean, you can't believe it. 01:02:22.340 --> 01:02:23.460 A cup of trembling? 01:02:23.640 --> 01:02:24.740 I mean, what a stupid remark. 01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:26.620 I mean, what's that about? 01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:30.080 I mean, what a ridiculous statement to make. 01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:33.740 You know, when scholars of the Bible have pointed to that and go, please, 01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:36.520 Jerusalem, a cup of trembling to the whole world? 01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:37.960 Let's take it literally. 01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:40.400 Let's look at that 500 years ago. 01:02:41.340 --> 01:02:43.580 Let's look at it during the Crusades 1,000 years ago. 01:02:43.700 --> 01:02:45.940 Not to the whole world, it wasn't a cup of trembling, was it? 01:02:46.060 --> 01:02:48.460 Not to the whole world in a literal sense. 01:02:48.740 --> 01:02:50.820 And I'm a literalist, unfortunately. 01:02:50.820 --> 01:02:56.860 But when it says the whole world, Jerusalem today is a cup of trembling to 01:02:56.860 --> 01:02:58.180 the whole world. 01:02:58.340 --> 01:03:03.180 The United Nations has condemned Israel more than 370 times. 01:03:03.940 --> 01:03:05.620 They never condemned the Arabs for attacking them. 01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:08.280 They condemned the Jews for defending themselves. 01:03:08.280 --> 01:03:09.760 It's incredible. 01:03:10.260 --> 01:03:12.340 The whole world is against them. 01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:16.880 And God said, I'll make them a cup of trembling. 01:03:16.880 --> 01:03:22.020 And this is the number one problem that the United Nations faces today. 01:03:22.200 --> 01:03:23.220 Everybody knows it. 01:03:23.880 --> 01:03:29.800 The United Nations has spent one-third of its time in deliberations and 01:03:29.800 --> 01:03:32.780 pronouncements about Jerusalem and Israel. 01:03:32.900 --> 01:03:36.460 This little land that has one one-thousandth of the world's population, 01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:39.180 they spent a third of their time on it. 01:03:39.180 --> 01:03:40.640 Everyone is afraid. 01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:44.620 What happens if this powdered cake starts off in the Middle East and we'll be 01:03:44.620 --> 01:03:45.560 looking at World War III? 01:03:46.200 --> 01:03:49.140 It has become a cup of trembling to the whole world. 01:03:50.260 --> 01:03:55.200 God foretold of the siege both against Judah, the Jews, and against Jerusalem. 01:03:55.860 --> 01:04:00.320 Then He goes on to speak of the Day of the Lord, saying, Behold, the Day of the Lord 01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:04.700 cometh, for I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle. 01:04:05.380 --> 01:04:10.540 God makes it clear that what He does with Israel is to be a witness to all the 01:04:10.540 --> 01:04:11.480 nations of the earth. 01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:20.680 In fact, in Isaiah 43.10, God says to Israel, You are my witnesses to yourselves 01:04:20.680 --> 01:04:23.740 and to the world that I am God. 01:04:24.560 --> 01:04:29.380 Not because we've got a lot of godly Jewish people running around the world 01:04:29.380 --> 01:04:30.880 telling people that God exists. 01:04:30.980 --> 01:04:31.720 They don't do that. 01:04:32.300 --> 01:04:35.820 But because of what the Bible said would happen to them. 01:04:36.080 --> 01:04:37.120 And it has happened. 01:04:37.740 --> 01:04:42.580 I do not this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake. 01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:47.460 The nation shall know that I am the Lord, says the Lord God, when I shall be 01:04:47.460 --> 01:04:49.560 sanctified in you before their eyes. 01:04:50.060 --> 01:04:53.680 For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all 01:04:53.680 --> 01:04:56.820 countries, and will bring you into your own land. 01:04:58.260 --> 01:05:02.640 Some might find it hard to believe that all the world would be against the Jews, 01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:05.480 since Israel seems to have many allies. 01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:10.000 Some have even believed that the Jews secretly control the world behind the 01:05:10.000 --> 01:05:12.880 scenes, manipulating media and world government. 01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:18.240 But God said of Israel, under the curse of the law, that there would be no might in 01:05:18.240 --> 01:05:23.300 their hand, and that Israel would be only oppressed and crushed always because of 01:05:23.300 --> 01:05:23.740 their disobedience. 01:05:25.460 --> 01:05:30.260 Can it be that in a mere half century since the rebirth of Israel as a nation, 01:05:30.620 --> 01:05:34.960 that the Jews have overthrown all the ancient institutions of the world? 01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:41.000 Such allegations of a Jewish conspiracy were also propagated by Adolf Hitler and 01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:43.360 his Nazi party prior to the Holocaust. 01:05:44.140 --> 01:05:48.440 But this conspiracy for Israel's destruction is clearly mentioned in the 01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:48.740 Bible. 01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:54.400 The psalmist writes, Keep not silence, O God, for lo, your enemies have taken 01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:56.400 crafty counsel against your people. 01:05:56.920 --> 01:06:01.600 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of 01:06:01.600 --> 01:06:03.780 Israel may be no more in remembrance. 01:06:03.780 --> 01:06:07.040 They have consulted together with one consent. 01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:12.400 The psalmist then names the Arab nations of the ancient world, including the 01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:14.900 Philistines, from where we get the name Palestinian. 01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:21.260 Is it any wonder that the leader of the modern Palestine Liberation Organization, 01:06:21.660 --> 01:06:27.400 Yasser Arafat, has openly declared, Peace for us means the destruction of 01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:29.260 Israel and nothing else. 01:06:29.260 --> 01:06:34.620 But this desire is not confined to the Arabs, despite outward appearances. 01:06:35.700 --> 01:06:41.220 In 1994, John Loftus and Mark Ahrens, two secular authors, published their 01:06:41.220 --> 01:06:45.060 best-selling controversial work, The Secret War Against the Jews. 01:06:45.360 --> 01:06:50.200 Based upon 12 years of research, having interviewed more than 500 former 01:06:50.200 --> 01:06:54.420 officers of the intelligence community, the opening line of the introduction 01:06:54.420 --> 01:07:01.220 reads, The major powers of the world have repeatedly planned covert operations to 01:07:01.220 --> 01:07:04.600 bring about the partial or total destruction of Israel. 01:07:05.200 --> 01:07:10.120 Meanwhile, the publisher includes this review, saying, The authors demonstrate 01:07:10.120 --> 01:07:14.600 that numerous Western countries, especially the United States and Great 01:07:14.600 --> 01:07:19.940 Britain, have conducted repeated and willful spying missions on Palestine and 01:07:19.940 --> 01:07:22.080 later Israel over many decades. 01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:27.680 While on the surface these two countries and others profess to be ardent allies of 01:07:27.680 --> 01:07:33.020 Israel, they work, in fact, through their intelligence services to betray Israel's 01:07:33.020 --> 01:07:34.000 secrets to the Arabs. 01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:35.200 Their motive? 01:07:35.600 --> 01:07:39.980 Oil and multinational profits, which must be attained at any price. 01:07:51.680 --> 01:07:52.440 The 01:07:58.700 --> 01:08:03.560 Bible foretells that events leading to Armageddon will be a time of trouble the 01:08:03.560 --> 01:08:06.440 likes of which mankind has never before witnessed. 01:08:06.440 --> 01:08:11.820 Jesus said, For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the 01:08:11.820 --> 01:08:15.580 beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 01:08:17.020 --> 01:08:21.040 And except those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved. 01:08:23.360 --> 01:08:24.860 That's an amazing prophecy. 01:08:26.040 --> 01:08:29.540 You couldn't wipe out all flesh with bows and arrows and swords and spears, 01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:31.040 the weapons that they had in that day. 01:08:31.740 --> 01:08:35.920 Not even with conventional bombs from World War II. 01:08:36.480 --> 01:08:42.500 But we live in a day where we have weapons so horrible, I mean, it is just beyond 01:08:42.500 --> 01:08:44.260 science fiction. 01:08:44.680 --> 01:08:49.900 You give us an address anywhere and we'll send a bomb right through the front door 01:08:49.900 --> 01:08:51.280 from 500 miles away. 01:08:51.420 --> 01:08:54.680 Man has the power to destroy the earth completely. 01:08:56.400 --> 01:08:57.800 Now that's never happened before. 01:08:57.960 --> 01:09:01.300 They couldn't do it with bows and arrows and horses and so on and so forth. 01:09:01.300 --> 01:09:05.160 In fact, the Bible says the nations will turn their weapons on each other in 01:09:05.160 --> 01:09:06.040 Zechariah 14. 01:09:06.620 --> 01:09:11.520 And it says that as they're standing, their eyeballs and their tongues will be 01:09:11.520 --> 01:09:14.340 consumed and dissolved out of their mouths while they're on their feet. 01:09:14.800 --> 01:09:19.520 That was impossible with weapons that we had just 80 years ago. 01:09:19.880 --> 01:09:25.080 You couldn't have even foreseen when this prophecy, Jesus said, unless I intervene, 01:09:25.380 --> 01:09:26.360 no flesh is left. 01:09:26.960 --> 01:09:30.840 I think you've got a nuclear exchange underway or about to start. 01:09:31.600 --> 01:09:34.180 And Jesus intervenes to rescue Israel. 01:09:34.260 --> 01:09:35.580 He's not going to let them be destroyed. 01:09:36.360 --> 01:09:41.020 Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations as when he fought in 01:09:41.020 --> 01:09:41.780 the day of battle. 01:09:42.340 --> 01:09:46.580 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before 01:09:46.580 --> 01:09:48.320 Jerusalem on the east. 01:09:49.140 --> 01:09:54.020 When this passage is compared with the New Testament, we find further reassurance of 01:09:54.020 --> 01:09:55.440 the second coming of Christ. 01:09:56.360 --> 01:10:00.340 In Acts chapter 1, Jesus stood upon the Mount of Olives with his disciples. 01:10:00.940 --> 01:10:05.120 Perhaps they were considering Zechariah's prophecy when they asked, Lord, 01:10:05.460 --> 01:10:08.680 will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 01:10:09.340 --> 01:10:14.340 Jesus answered them, saying, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which 01:10:14.340 --> 01:10:16.440 the Father has put in his own power. 01:10:17.360 --> 01:10:20.000 Then as they beheld him, he ascended into heaven. 01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:24.840 The disciples seemed to watch in confusion, and so two men stood by in 01:10:24.840 --> 01:10:29.140 white clothing, who said to them, You men of Galilee, why do you stand 01:10:29.140 --> 01:10:30.260 gazing up into heaven? 01:10:30.640 --> 01:10:36.040 This same Jesus who has taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner 01:10:36.040 --> 01:10:38.120 as you have seen him go into heaven. 01:10:38.540 --> 01:10:43.500 The angels seemed to be reassuring the disciples that Jesus would indeed fulfill 01:10:43.500 --> 01:10:47.600 Zechariah's prophecy, that even as he ascended from the Mount of Olives, 01:10:47.860 --> 01:10:53.200 he would likewise return, and his feet will stand in that day in the same place 01:10:53.200 --> 01:10:53.880 he departed. 01:10:55.620 --> 01:10:58.760 And he destroys Antichrist, because it's Antichrist. 01:10:59.060 --> 01:11:04.600 I believe it's not just Russia, in my opinion, and the Arab nations and 01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:05.780 Confederacy and so forth. 01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:08.100 Sure, they're there, but it's the whole world. 01:11:08.100 --> 01:11:14.420 The United States, too, everybody, and they're vying with one another, 01:11:14.520 --> 01:11:14.840 you know. 01:11:15.260 --> 01:11:19.240 The kings come from the East, maybe they can take over at this time. 01:11:19.340 --> 01:11:22.300 I don't know, it gets to be a whole mess in Armageddon. 01:11:23.400 --> 01:11:30.340 And God says in Ezekiel 38, that he brings the nations there to judge them, 01:11:30.420 --> 01:11:33.080 to punish them for what they've done to his people Israel. 01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:35.140 He also is punishing Israel. 01:11:35.200 --> 01:11:36.800 This is the final punishment for Israel. 01:11:38.280 --> 01:11:45.980 Jeremiah 30, verse 7, is called the time of Jacob's trouble, but he will be 01:11:45.980 --> 01:11:47.240 preserved out of it. 01:11:48.180 --> 01:11:52.760 So God is going to punish the world, and he's going to chastise his people. 01:11:53.560 --> 01:11:57.300 And then Christ will intervene, or there wouldn't be anybody left on this 01:11:57.300 --> 01:11:57.460 earth. 01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:01.320 I mean, we can turn this earth into a sterile bit of dust, not even a microbe, 01:12:01.820 --> 01:12:04.000 not even a mosquito or a cockroach left. 01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:05.380 We have the weapons to do that. 01:12:06.220 --> 01:12:07.720 And that's an amazing prophecy. 01:12:09.080 --> 01:12:10.160 That's Armageddon. 01:12:39.940 --> 01:12:43.920 And you can see it happening before your very eyes. 01:12:44.480 --> 01:12:51.800 This world church, really, the ecumenical movement, is going to be united with the 01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:52.520 world government. 01:12:52.860 --> 01:13:01.320 Now we also have a hierarchy of elitists, who are steeped in the mystery religions, 01:13:02.040 --> 01:13:03.360 who want power. 01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:12.100 A very modern embodiment of that would be Hitler, who brought about the Second World 01:13:12.100 --> 01:13:13.560 War because he wanted power. 01:13:13.700 --> 01:13:19.300 He was in an occult mystery religion, and he believed that the Aryan super-race 01:13:19.300 --> 01:13:20.520 could take over the world. 01:13:20.840 --> 01:13:23.060 That we're heading for a world government, there's no doubt. 01:13:24.820 --> 01:13:29.480 And that everything will be controlled with a number, that you won't be able to 01:13:29.480 --> 01:13:30.760 buy or sell, and so forth. 01:13:30.760 --> 01:13:32.440 We have the computers today to do it. 01:13:32.480 --> 01:13:37.140 You couldn't even imagine what that would mean 100 years ago. 01:13:37.640 --> 01:13:41.560 The Word of God says that the spirits, the demonic world, go forth to the kings 01:13:41.560 --> 01:13:44.360 of the world and gather them together for the battle of the great day of God 01:13:44.360 --> 01:13:46.800 Almighty, which in the Hebrew tongue is called Armageddon. 01:13:47.080 --> 01:13:51.860 So that these spirits had an objective, and it is to unite the world and bring the 01:13:51.860 --> 01:13:53.300 world against Christ in Armageddon. 01:13:53.300 --> 01:13:57.220 Why do the nations rage and the peoples imagine a vain thing? 01:13:57.640 --> 01:14:02.080 The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against 01:14:02.080 --> 01:14:04.160 the Lord and against his Christ. 01:14:05.320 --> 01:14:10.640 So we have got hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of organizations that are 01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:18.420 working, in a sense, networking with each other to bring about a religious 01:14:18.420 --> 01:14:25.900 philosophy that will ultimately usher in So when the Bible talks about the man of 01:14:25.900 --> 01:14:30.700 lawlessness, of one world government, of one world religion, you can bank on it. 01:14:33.660 --> 01:14:37.880 World government has been declared by some of the greatest leaders and influential 01:14:37.880 --> 01:14:39.420 minds of the last century. 01:14:40.040 --> 01:14:43.400 The focus of their desire is supposedly world peace. 01:14:43.980 --> 01:14:49.740 Albert Einstein said, mankind's desire for peace can be realized only by the creation 01:14:49.740 --> 01:14:51.000 of a world government. 01:14:51.000 --> 01:14:56.580 Einstein also declared, quote, there is no salvation for civilization or 01:14:56.580 --> 01:15:00.640 even the human race other than the creation of a world government. 01:15:01.340 --> 01:15:05.460 Meanwhile, Nehru, the leader of India during the days of Mahatma Gandhi, 01:15:05.640 --> 01:15:10.640 declared, I have long believed the only way peace can be achieved is through world 01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:11.040 government. 01:15:11.620 --> 01:15:16.480 We have arrived at a stage where the next step must comprise a world and all its 01:15:16.480 --> 01:15:20.020 states, submitting to the authority of world organization. 01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:25.260 Mortimer Adler said, world peace is impossible without world government. 01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:31.040 And Sir Winston Churchill declared, the creation of an authoritative world 01:15:31.040 --> 01:15:34.840 order is the ultimate aim toward which we must strive. 01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:40.560 French President Charles de Gaulle seemed adamant when he said, nations must unite 01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:42.960 in a world government or perish. 01:15:45.100 --> 01:15:50.640 Walter Cronkite said concerning nuclear devastation that, quote, if we are to 01:15:50.640 --> 01:15:56.140 avoid that catastrophe, a system of world order, preferably a system of world 01:15:56.140 --> 01:15:57.780 government, is mandatory. 01:15:58.300 --> 01:16:03.080 The proud nations someday will see the light and for the common good and their 01:16:03.080 --> 01:16:08.260 own survival, yield up their precious sovereignty, just as America's thirteen 01:16:08.260 --> 01:16:10.700 colonies did two centuries ago. 01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:16.800 In 1992, Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, 01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:22.200 was quoted in Time magazine saying, in the next century, nations as we know it 01:16:22.200 --> 01:16:23.100 will be obsolete. 01:16:23.680 --> 01:16:26.980 All states will recognize a single global authority. 01:16:27.520 --> 01:16:31.020 National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all. 01:16:31.020 --> 01:16:37.380 In December 2001, Edward Widmer, the President of the Illinois Division of 01:16:37.380 --> 01:16:42.840 the United Nations Association of the United States said, quote, within ten 01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:47.260 years time, you're going to see the beginning of an embryonic world order. 01:16:49.180 --> 01:16:55.060 Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair said, quote, globalization has transformed our 01:16:55.060 --> 01:16:57.300 economies and our working practices. 01:16:57.660 --> 01:17:00.340 It is a political and security phenomenon. 01:17:01.280 --> 01:17:05.480 We are all internationalists now, whether we like it or not. 01:17:06.140 --> 01:17:10.800 We are witnessing the beginnings of a new doctrine of international community. 01:17:12.120 --> 01:17:16.420 While the quote that seems to consolidate them all comes from Robert Mueller, 01:17:16.740 --> 01:17:22.040 former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, who said, we must move as 01:17:22.040 --> 01:17:26.280 quickly as possible to a one world government, a one world religion, 01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:28.360 under a one world leader. 01:17:29.820 --> 01:17:34.700 As to what manner of leadership is under consideration, consider this quote from 01:17:34.700 --> 01:17:40.460 Paul Henry Spack, the former Secretary General of NATO, who in 1957 said, 01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:45.240 what we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of the 01:17:45.240 --> 01:17:49.480 people and to lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. 01:17:50.120 --> 01:17:54.760 Send us such a man, and be he God or the devil, we will receive him. 01:17:56.680 --> 01:18:01.520 Late in the 18th century, a group known as the Jacobins, who brought about the French 01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:06.060 Revolution, said they were seeking to establish what they called a universal 01:18:06.060 --> 01:18:08.920 republic or a new world order. 01:18:09.360 --> 01:18:14.120 That very phrase has come to represent the entire march toward world government, 01:18:14.400 --> 01:18:19.180 the coming last day empire spoken of by the highest offices in all the world. 01:18:25.660 --> 01:18:28.000 Robert Kennedy, the former U.S. 01:18:28.120 --> 01:18:33.500 Attorney General in 1967 said, all of us will ultimately be judged on the 01:18:33.500 --> 01:18:36.860 effort we have contributed to building a new world order. 01:18:38.280 --> 01:18:44.820 In October 1967, Richard Nixon was quoted in Foreign Affairs saying, the developing 01:18:44.820 --> 01:18:50.400 coherence of Asian regional thinking is to evolve regional approaches to development 01:18:50.400 --> 01:18:54.080 needs and to the evolution of a new world order. 01:18:54.300 --> 01:18:59.860 A few years later, the New York Times reported that Nixon spoke of the talks as 01:18:59.860 --> 01:19:04.800 a beginning, merely reiterating the belief he brought to China that both nations 01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:08.540 share an interest in peace and building a new world order. 01:19:11.000 --> 01:19:19.020 On July 26, 1968, the Associated Press reported that New York Governor Nelson A. 01:19:19.200 --> 01:19:24.520 Rockefeller says as President he would work toward international creation of a 01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:25.520 new world order. 01:19:26.420 --> 01:19:32.860 In 1976, a new document surfaced that was called the Declaration of Interdependence. 01:19:32.860 --> 01:19:35.580 It was signed by 32 U.S. 01:19:35.740 --> 01:19:39.460 Senators and 92 representatives in Washington, D.C. 01:19:39.760 --> 01:19:44.980 It read in part, two centuries ago, our forefathers brought forth a new 01:19:44.980 --> 01:19:45.440 nation. 01:19:45.960 --> 01:19:49.900 Now we must join with others to bring forth a new world order. 01:19:52.480 --> 01:19:58.280 And Henry Kissinger, in an address before the United Nations in 1975, said, 01:19:58.700 --> 01:20:04.100 so we say to all peoples and governments, let us fashion together a new world order. 01:20:04.740 --> 01:20:11.160 In 1994, Kissinger stated that the new world order cannot happen without U.S. 01:20:11.360 --> 01:20:14.920 participation, as we are the most significant single component. 01:20:14.920 --> 01:20:20.440 Yes, there will be a new world order, and it will force the United States to 01:20:20.440 --> 01:20:21.860 change its perceptions. 01:20:24.520 --> 01:20:30.360 This new world order goal is supposedly for the good of all mankind, as Nelson 01:20:30.360 --> 01:20:36.060 Mandela affirmed in the Philadelphia Inquirer in October of 1994 when he said, 01:20:36.560 --> 01:20:41.420 the new world order that is in the making must focus on the creation of a world of 01:20:41.420 --> 01:20:44.620 democracy, peace and prosperity for all. 01:20:46.520 --> 01:20:51.360 Democratic leader Richard Gephardt in the Wall Street Journal said, we can see 01:20:51.360 --> 01:20:56.020 beyond the present shadows of war in the Middle East, to a new world order where 01:20:56.020 --> 01:20:59.140 the strong work together to deter and stop aggression. 01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:04.700 This was precisely Franklin Roosevelt's and Winston Churchill's vision for peace 01:21:04.700 --> 01:21:06.220 for the post-war period. 01:21:07.820 --> 01:21:13.120 Even President Mubarak of Egypt is quoted in the New York Times saying that the 01:21:13.120 --> 01:21:17.680 renewal of the non-proliferation treaty was described as important, quote, 01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:21.240 for the welfare of the whole world and the new world order. 01:21:22.540 --> 01:21:28.860 Also before the United Nations in 1979, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro said, 01:21:29.240 --> 01:21:34.580 we must establish a new world order based on justice, on equity and on peace. 01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:41.600 Mikhail Gorbachev, the former leader of the Soviet Union made this rather 01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:46.500 disturbing association when he said, we are moving toward a new world order, 01:21:46.860 --> 01:21:50.620 the world of communism, we shall never turn off that road. 01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:56.180 Perhaps most troubling of all is this quote from Adolf Hitler during the Second 01:21:56.180 --> 01:22:01.640 World War who said, national socialism will use its own revolution for the 01:22:01.640 --> 01:22:04.020 establishing of a new world order. 01:22:26.540 --> 01:22:31.540 Such disturbing statements about the new world order are not confined to Hitler. 01:22:38.320 --> 01:22:43.540 Historian Walter Mills, writing about World War I, described the efforts of 01:22:43.540 --> 01:22:49.260 Colonel Mandel House, the chief advisor to President Wilson, speaking of his hidden 01:22:49.260 --> 01:22:51.820 motive for involving America in the war. 01:22:52.220 --> 01:22:57.940 He wrote, the Colonel's sole justification for preparing such a batch of blood for 01:22:57.940 --> 01:23:02.560 his countrymen was his hope of establishing a new world order of peace 01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:03.480 and security. 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:11.020 The Bible says, the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. 01:23:11.400 --> 01:23:15.900 For while they are saying peace and security, then destruction will come upon 01:23:15.900 --> 01:23:20.120 them suddenly, like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not 01:23:20.120 --> 01:23:20.620 escape. 01:23:22.060 --> 01:23:27.260 The labor pains or birth pangs a woman suffers during childbirth come suddenly, 01:23:27.540 --> 01:23:28.780 but not all at once. 01:23:28.780 --> 01:23:33.880 The contractions are usually spread apart at first and can continue for many hours. 01:23:34.140 --> 01:23:38.960 But as the labor reaches its climax, the contractions quicken until they come 01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:40.600 one right after another. 01:23:45.060 --> 01:23:50.500 This is the picture given in the Bible of how catastrophic events will progress as 01:23:50.500 --> 01:23:51.840 the day of the Lord approaches. 01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:57.960 The starting gun for these contractions seems to be the cry of peace and security, 01:23:58.420 --> 01:24:01.420 as we saw with Colonel House and the First World War. 01:24:02.220 --> 01:24:07.880 In fact, during World War I, Nicholas Murray Butler, who ironically would win 01:24:07.880 --> 01:24:13.020 the Nobel Prize for Peace, gave this mysterious address before the Union League 01:24:13.020 --> 01:24:16.020 of Philadelphia on November 27, 1915. 01:24:16.020 --> 01:24:23.220 He said, The old world order died with the setting of that day's sun, and a new world 01:24:23.220 --> 01:24:28.320 order is being born while I speak, with birth pangs so terrible that it seems 01:24:28.320 --> 01:24:33.160 almost incredible that life could come out of such fearful suffering and such 01:24:33.160 --> 01:24:34.420 overwhelming sorrow. 01:24:40.080 --> 01:24:44.940 An estimated 16 million lives were lost during World War I. 01:24:46.420 --> 01:24:51.020 But the conflict to come would make the Great War pale by comparison. 01:24:58.580 --> 01:25:04.480 While the numbers vary, it is now estimated that some 50 million lives were 01:25:04.480 --> 01:25:06.820 lost as a result of World War II. 01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:12.360 A birth pang which began with a similar declaration of peace for the sake of 01:25:12.360 --> 01:25:12.860 security. 01:25:13.500 --> 01:25:19.180 British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain met with Adolf Hitler in 1938 to draft the 01:25:19.180 --> 01:25:23.240 Munich Accord for the purpose of supposedly providing security for 01:25:23.240 --> 01:25:26.200 Czechoslovakia and to assure the peace of Europe. 01:25:29.280 --> 01:25:33.060 Chamberlain arrived back in London with this historic announcement. 01:25:33.060 --> 01:25:42.660 This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler. 01:25:44.080 --> 01:25:50.920 And here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine. 01:25:54.700 --> 01:26:01.340 We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German naval agreement as 01:26:01.340 --> 01:26:07.080 symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again. 01:26:14.140 --> 01:26:17.640 I believe it is peace for our time, he said. 01:26:18.060 --> 01:26:20.200 Go home and get a nice quiet sleep. 01:26:20.860 --> 01:26:24.820 So confident were the British, they posted signs saying, don't mind 01:26:24.820 --> 01:26:26.220 Hitler, take your holiday. 01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:32.000 Six months later, Hitler violated the agreement when the Nazis invaded 01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:33.020 Czechoslovakia. 01:26:33.020 --> 01:26:37.200 In less than a year, World War II was officially underway. 01:26:42.120 --> 01:26:46.140 Chamberlain's declaration of peace is today considered one of the greatest 01:26:46.140 --> 01:26:47.840 blunders of the 20th century. 01:26:48.660 --> 01:26:52.060 Can these events have been a foreshadowing of things to come? 01:26:52.060 --> 01:26:56.900 You be the judge as you consider this speech given by President George Bush 01:26:56.900 --> 01:27:01.680 Senior when he spoke of the New World Order before the United States Congress in 01:27:01.680 --> 01:27:02.620 1991. 01:27:03.620 --> 01:27:11.620 A New World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to 01:27:11.620 --> 01:27:14.880 achieve the universal aspirations of mankind. 01:27:15.420 --> 01:27:23.240 Peace and security, peace and security, freedom and the rule of law. 01:27:23.240 --> 01:27:28.840 Some find it interesting that President Bush made this declaration on September 01:27:28.840 --> 01:27:35.480 the 11th, 1991, exactly 10 years prior to the destructive attack on America. 01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:39.320 But Bush had spoken of the New World Order a year before. 01:27:39.880 --> 01:27:44.380 Concerning the crisis in the Persian Gulf, he said, out of these troubled times, 01:27:44.660 --> 01:27:46.440 a New World Order can emerge. 01:27:46.440 --> 01:27:53.720 These words he spoke on September the 11th, 1990, 11 years prior to America's 01:27:53.720 --> 01:27:54.140 tragedy. 01:27:54.860 --> 01:27:57.520 Can all these things be merely coincidence? 01:27:58.220 --> 01:28:03.020 And why would world government and a desire for peace and security bring about 01:28:03.020 --> 01:28:03.680 destruction? 01:28:05.460 --> 01:28:11.260 Jesus said, my peace I give unto you, not as the world gives, give I unto you. 01:28:11.260 --> 01:28:17.300 Can it be that the world peace pursued by kings and rulers is somehow contrary to 01:28:17.300 --> 01:28:18.320 the peace of Christ? 01:28:24.060 --> 01:28:28.640 James Warburg of the Council on Foreign Relations, while speaking to the Senate 01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:34.380 Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, 1950, said, we shall have world 01:28:34.380 --> 01:28:36.400 government whether or not we like it. 01:28:36.400 --> 01:28:41.600 The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or 01:28:41.600 --> 01:28:42.680 by conquest. 01:28:43.380 --> 01:28:48.260 An early warning against the tone of this movement was sounded by Congressman Larry 01:28:48.260 --> 01:28:53.320 P. McDonald, who even named some of those he deemed responsible, when he said, 01:28:53.720 --> 01:28:58.120 the drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one world 01:28:58.120 --> 01:29:03.300 government, combining super capitalism and communism under the same tent, 01:29:03.660 --> 01:29:05.040 all under their control. 01:29:05.040 --> 01:29:06.780 Do I mean conspiracy? 01:29:07.040 --> 01:29:08.100 Yes, I do. 01:29:08.520 --> 01:29:13.880 I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in 01:29:13.880 --> 01:29:16.780 planning, and incredibly evil in intent. 01:29:17.660 --> 01:29:22.980 Arthur Schlesinger Jr., in a July-August 1995 issue of Foreign Affairs, 01:29:23.100 --> 01:29:28.300 said, we are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood 01:29:28.300 --> 01:29:30.120 as well as words and money. 01:29:30.860 --> 01:29:33.680 Decades earlier, famed author H.G. 01:29:33.800 --> 01:29:37.540 Wells, who wrote such works as The Time Machine and The Invisible Man, 01:29:37.820 --> 01:29:42.920 was also a member of a controversial group known as the Fabian Socialist Society. 01:29:43.280 --> 01:29:48.080 While his science fiction books are well known, Wells also wrote a little known 01:29:48.080 --> 01:29:52.120 work titled The New World Order, published in 1939. 01:29:52.120 --> 01:29:58.260 In it he states, countless people will hate the New World Order and will die 01:29:58.260 --> 01:29:59.520 protesting against it. 01:30:00.260 --> 01:30:05.340 When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a 01:30:05.340 --> 01:30:10.160 generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful 01:30:10.160 --> 01:30:10.820 looking people. 01:30:12.320 --> 01:30:17.440 So affected was he by his research on the subject that author Ralph Epperson 01:30:17.440 --> 01:30:21.440 compared the New World Order to George Orwell's 1984. 01:30:21.440 --> 01:30:27.840 He said, it might have been George Orwell in his book 1984 that best summarized what 01:30:27.840 --> 01:30:32.140 the New World Order had in store for the world when he wrote, if you want a picture 01:30:32.140 --> 01:30:36.660 of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. 01:30:41.620 --> 01:30:46.020 Thankfully, the Bible tells us that the tribulation brought about by this New 01:30:46.020 --> 01:30:51.720 World Order empire will not last forever, but the Lord himself will intervene on 01:30:51.720 --> 01:30:54.000 behalf of those who put faith in him. 01:30:54.860 --> 01:30:59.640 But before that hour comes, Jesus said that the world would suffer affliction 01:30:59.640 --> 01:31:02.400 worse than any it has ever before seen. 01:32:04.220 --> 01:32:09.760 Jesus said that everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come into the 01:32:09.760 --> 01:32:12.420 light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 01:32:13.820 --> 01:32:19.460 Many believe that the drive for a New World Order is a secret operation and that 01:32:19.460 --> 01:32:24.280 those who are aware of its true intent know full well that what they are planning 01:32:24.280 --> 01:32:25.800 is a kingdom of evil. 01:32:28.880 --> 01:32:33.160 Seven days before his tragic assassination, President John F. 01:32:33.240 --> 01:32:37.600 Kennedy is alleged to have said, There exists in this country a plot to 01:32:37.600 --> 01:32:39.880 enslave every man, woman, and child. 01:32:40.420 --> 01:32:44.820 Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot. 01:32:45.560 --> 01:32:48.960 But Kennedy was not the first to speak of such things. 01:32:49.680 --> 01:32:50.340 John F. 01:32:50.520 --> 01:32:57.240 Hyland, the mayor of New York from 1918 to 1925 said, The real menace of our republic 01:32:57.240 --> 01:33:03.520 is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls at slimy length over 01:33:03.520 --> 01:33:05.660 our city, state, and nation. 01:33:05.660 --> 01:33:11.720 World War II General Douglas MacArthur said, I am concerned for the security of 01:33:11.720 --> 01:33:17.160 our great nation, not so much because of any threat from without, but because of 01:33:17.160 --> 01:33:19.780 the insidious forces working from within. 01:33:20.860 --> 01:33:25.960 Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter is quoted saying, The real rulers in 01:33:25.960 --> 01:33:31.140 Washington are invisible and exercise their power from behind the scenes. 01:33:32.280 --> 01:33:35.840 Even President Woodrow Wilson supported such claims. 01:33:36.380 --> 01:33:41.180 Today, the White House website reports that Wilson, quote, asserted international 01:33:41.180 --> 01:33:43.680 leadership in building a new world order. 01:33:44.120 --> 01:33:49.900 However, in 1913, Wilson wrote these words in a work titled, The New Freedom. 01:33:50.360 --> 01:33:54.860 He said, Some of the biggest men in the United States are afraid of something. 01:33:54.860 --> 01:34:01.000 They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, 01:34:01.160 --> 01:34:06.620 so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their 01:34:06.620 --> 01:34:09.280 breath when they speak in condemnation of it. 01:34:10.060 --> 01:34:13.220 But is this secret power only at work in America? 01:34:14.860 --> 01:34:20.900 A century earlier, English Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli wrote, The world is 01:34:20.900 --> 01:34:25.920 governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not 01:34:25.920 --> 01:34:27.020 behind the scenes. 01:34:27.760 --> 01:34:33.960 Disraeli warned of a worldwide conspiracy in 1876 when he said, The governments of 01:34:33.960 --> 01:34:38.780 the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, 01:34:38.900 --> 01:34:43.860 kings, and ministers, but also with the secret societies, which have everywhere 01:34:43.860 --> 01:34:48.940 their unscrupulous agents, and can, at the last moment, upset all the 01:34:48.940 --> 01:34:49.800 governments' plans. 01:34:50.920 --> 01:34:57.100 In 1920, the Christian Science Monitor wrote that, What is important is the 01:34:57.100 --> 01:35:02.500 increasing evidence of the existence of a secret conspiracy throughout the world, 01:35:02.720 --> 01:35:07.060 for the destruction of organized government and the letting loose of evil. 01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:13.720 While much has been written and said about various conspiracy theories, the Bible 01:35:13.720 --> 01:35:18.560 makes it clear that the world conspiracy is ultimately against God himself. 01:35:19.240 --> 01:35:23.880 King David wrote, Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? 01:35:24.500 --> 01:35:29.600 Their kings revolt, their rulers plot together against the Lord and against the 01:35:29.600 --> 01:35:30.500 King he chose. 01:35:31.980 --> 01:35:36.900 Most researchers who investigate the New World Order at some point trace the 01:35:36.900 --> 01:35:42.060 movement back to Bavaria in the 18th century, to a man named Adam Weishaupt, 01:35:42.360 --> 01:35:47.260 a professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt, a school of the Roman 01:35:47.260 --> 01:35:48.640 Catholic Jesuit Order. 01:35:48.640 --> 01:35:54.000 Some claim that Weishaupt himself was a Jesuit, others say that he was not. 01:35:54.340 --> 01:35:58.540 Nevertheless, the influence of this powerful order is not to be overlooked. 01:35:59.200 --> 01:36:04.400 From their beginning with founder Ignatius Loyola in the 16th century, the Jesuits 01:36:04.400 --> 01:36:09.760 were a subversive organization known for their lust for power, because of which 01:36:09.760 --> 01:36:15.320 they were suppressed by popes and banished by kings no less than 30 times from the 01:36:15.320 --> 01:36:16.340 nations of Europe. 01:36:16.340 --> 01:36:22.180 So nefarious were they that the Marquis de Lafayette in 1799 said of them, 01:36:22.820 --> 01:36:26.920 it is my opinion that if the liberties of this country, the United States of 01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:32.020 America, are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit 01:36:32.020 --> 01:36:37.160 priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious 01:36:37.160 --> 01:36:37.580 liberty. 01:36:38.080 --> 01:36:40.760 They have instigated most of the wars of Europe. 01:36:41.540 --> 01:36:47.540 Napoleon Bonaparte, while lamenting his exile on St. Helena, said, the Jesuits are 01:36:47.540 --> 01:36:53.840 a military organization, not a religious order, and the aim of this organization is 01:36:53.840 --> 01:37:00.560 power, power in its most despotic exercise, absolute power, universal power, 01:37:00.920 --> 01:37:04.940 power to control the world by the volition of a single man. 01:37:05.840 --> 01:37:11.040 Even President John Adams wrote these shocking words in a letter to Thomas 01:37:11.040 --> 01:37:11.600 Jefferson. 01:37:12.120 --> 01:37:17.380 Of the Jesuits he said, if ever there was a body of men who merited eternal 01:37:17.380 --> 01:37:22.500 damnation on earth and in hell, it is this society of Loyolas. 01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:29.600 It was among such men that Adam Weishaupt gained the skills that would one day earn 01:37:29.600 --> 01:37:34.520 him the credit of being called the profoundest conspirator that has ever 01:37:34.520 --> 01:37:35.100 existed. 01:37:36.100 --> 01:37:41.540 Weishaupt had his own lust for power and formed a secret society whose plan was to 01:37:41.540 --> 01:37:44.780 revolt against all established authority on earth. 01:37:45.320 --> 01:37:50.300 He codenamed himself Spartacus and called his society the Illuminati. 01:37:50.780 --> 01:37:55.960 The name Spartacus pertains to the ancient gladiator who rebelled against the tyranny 01:37:55.960 --> 01:38:01.220 of Rome, while the name Illuminati pertains to the greatest rebel of all 01:38:01.220 --> 01:38:01.680 time. 01:38:02.320 --> 01:38:07.920 Author Myron Fagan writes that Weishaupt himself said that the word Illuminati is 01:38:07.920 --> 01:38:11.620 derived from Lucifer and means holders of the light. 01:38:12.180 --> 01:38:16.220 The Illuminati is so called because they are the illumined ones. 01:38:16.800 --> 01:38:21.560 And they are illumined through, according to their own definition of the 01:38:21.560 --> 01:38:26.380 term, they are illumined by an understanding of the occult sciences, 01:38:26.580 --> 01:38:30.260 of the satanic sciences, of the mysteries of religion. 01:38:30.440 --> 01:38:31.640 They are illuminated. 01:38:32.060 --> 01:38:35.760 They are not illumined according to scripture. 01:38:36.100 --> 01:38:36.500 Oh no. 01:38:36.880 --> 01:38:41.100 They are illumined according to occult doctrine, occult understanding and occult 01:38:41.100 --> 01:38:41.500 power. 01:38:41.860 --> 01:38:45.400 And much of their occult power comes through an interaction with guiding 01:38:45.400 --> 01:38:47.660 spirits which the bible calls demons. 01:38:47.660 --> 01:38:52.760 For they are the spirits of demons that go forth unto the kings of the earth and of 01:38:52.760 --> 01:38:56.980 the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 01:38:57.460 --> 01:39:01.780 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 01:39:03.120 --> 01:39:08.740 We read that Weishaupt began to write out the master plan that was designed to give 01:39:08.740 --> 01:39:13.820 the synagogue of Satan, so named by Jesus Christ, ultimate world domination, 01:39:13.820 --> 01:39:19.360 so they could impose the Luciferian ideology on the human race. 01:39:20.300 --> 01:39:25.640 But in order for Weishaupt to bring forth his new order, he needed to somehow 01:39:25.640 --> 01:39:27.340 destroy the old order. 01:39:27.920 --> 01:39:31.880 The method he chose was to bring about a world revolution. 01:39:32.640 --> 01:39:37.680 Professor John Robeson, who exposed the Illuminati in his work titled Proofs of a 01:39:37.680 --> 01:39:43.040 Conspiracy, published in 1798, wrote, The true purpose of the order was 01:39:43.040 --> 01:39:44.280 to rule the world. 01:39:44.840 --> 01:39:49.400 To achieve this, it was necessary for the order to destroy all religions, 01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:53.680 overthrow all governments, and abolish private property. 01:39:54.640 --> 01:39:59.580 Because the average man would not openly follow a satanic plan, the agenda of the 01:39:59.580 --> 01:40:04.320 Illuminati was to be concealed through secret societies, some of which traced 01:40:04.320 --> 01:40:06.440 themselves back thousands of years. 01:40:06.440 --> 01:40:11.740 It was these same powers that Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli warned were 01:40:11.740 --> 01:40:14.100 contending against the governments of the world. 01:40:14.920 --> 01:40:20.560 This plan that goes back hundreds, if not thousands of years, tends to be 01:40:20.560 --> 01:40:23.680 kept in the bowels of these blood oath secret societies. 01:40:24.280 --> 01:40:28.000 And by that I mean the Shriners, the Freemasons, the Oddfellows, 01:40:28.380 --> 01:40:30.640 the Illuminati, the Order of the Palladian. 01:40:30.840 --> 01:40:35.500 There are literally dozens of names down throughout the centuries that this goes 01:40:35.500 --> 01:40:35.760 by. 01:40:35.760 --> 01:40:41.240 But it has to be in one of these groups where you have to swear to kill a fellow 01:40:41.240 --> 01:40:46.460 member of the society if they reveal the secrets, or you yourself be killed by a 01:40:46.460 --> 01:40:48.800 member of the society if you reveal the secrets. 01:40:49.000 --> 01:40:50.720 That's what blood oaths are. 01:40:50.940 --> 01:40:56.480 And they start out bad, but they get worse as you go up in the organization. 01:40:56.920 --> 01:40:59.140 Now, not all of them take it all that seriously. 01:41:00.020 --> 01:41:04.060 Some of them just do it because, as I was promised when I was 21, 01:41:04.060 --> 01:41:08.740 you become a Mason, your financial fortunes are guaranteed for the rest of 01:41:08.740 --> 01:41:09.260 your life. 01:41:09.980 --> 01:41:12.120 And, you know, I bolted. 01:41:12.180 --> 01:41:15.300 I said, no, I'm not, you know, I don't think Christ would approve of 01:41:15.300 --> 01:41:15.540 this. 01:41:15.900 --> 01:41:20.260 Wysop saw in the ancient orders of Freemasonry an opportunity to commission 01:41:20.260 --> 01:41:23.180 foot soldiers for his cause of world domination. 01:41:23.600 --> 01:41:27.980 He wrote that none is fitter than the three lower degrees of Freemasonry. 01:41:27.980 --> 01:41:31.920 The public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore 01:41:31.920 --> 01:41:33.580 takes little notice of it. 01:41:35.520 --> 01:41:43.440 Wysop felt that Masonry was the easiest way to get a good Christian guy on the 01:41:43.440 --> 01:41:49.100 path of destruction, essentially, where you can have him take little baby 01:41:49.100 --> 01:41:50.260 steps on this path. 01:41:50.380 --> 01:41:53.540 It's a system they've been working on for thousands of years. 01:41:53.540 --> 01:41:54.760 They've really got it down. 01:41:54.900 --> 01:42:01.380 They know how to gradually, gently corrupt people from Christendom, first of all, 01:42:01.500 --> 01:42:02.160 to Deism. 01:42:02.780 --> 01:42:07.840 Of course, Deism is where, yes, God started the world, but then he took 01:42:07.840 --> 01:42:11.300 off and he has no place in the affairs of men now. 01:42:11.440 --> 01:42:14.800 And so, you don't have to worry about God, you don't have to worry about heaven and 01:42:14.800 --> 01:42:17.840 hell, you just kind of do your thing and everything will be okay. 01:42:19.820 --> 01:42:22.280 Deism to Atheism is the next step. 01:42:22.480 --> 01:42:25.140 Atheism, where you claim there is no God. 01:42:26.440 --> 01:42:30.440 And then, of course, the next step is out and out Satanism, and interestingly 01:42:30.440 --> 01:42:34.820 enough, Satanists know there's God, know there's a heaven and hell, 01:42:35.340 --> 01:42:39.640 and they just choose hell, and they choose to drag as many people into hell as they 01:42:39.640 --> 01:42:39.940 can. 01:42:40.540 --> 01:42:43.900 Yes, Masons were instrumental in the founding of this country. 01:42:44.180 --> 01:42:49.300 A large percentage of the founding fathers were Masons, but that doesn't mean that a 01:42:49.300 --> 01:42:52.240 large percentage of the founding fathers were evil men. 01:42:52.780 --> 01:42:59.180 You have to look at Masonry as a way to get good Christians, to lure good 01:42:59.180 --> 01:43:05.070 Christians gradually over to Deism, to Atheism, and eventually to Satanism. 01:43:05.460 --> 01:43:07.360 That's the purpose of Freemasonry. 01:43:07.680 --> 01:43:10.460 It's to lure good people into these evil roads. 01:43:10.660 --> 01:43:10.960 Why? 01:43:10.960 --> 01:43:15.660 Because if you have an evil secret society, where you're trying to create the 01:43:15.660 --> 01:43:19.680 Antichrist here on Earth, not many people are going to come and join up. 01:43:19.960 --> 01:43:22.980 So you have to convince them that they're doing something good for the world, 01:43:23.260 --> 01:43:27.020 gradually get them in, and little by little try to corrupt them. 01:43:27.340 --> 01:43:31.700 Weisshaupt gained the allegiance of low-level Masons by telling them that the 01:43:31.700 --> 01:43:34.560 Illuminati held the true sense of Christianity. 01:43:34.560 --> 01:43:41.260 Behold our secret, he said, if in order to destroy all Christianity, all religion, 01:43:41.620 --> 01:43:47.240 we have pretended to have the sole true religion, remember that the end justifies 01:43:47.240 --> 01:43:47.860 the means. 01:43:48.760 --> 01:43:53.440 Because of this, some have argued that Weisshaupt corrupted Freemasonry. 01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:56.220 He didn't have to corrupt Masonry. 01:43:56.360 --> 01:44:01.420 Masonry is a corruption skateboard ready-made for his purposes. 01:44:04.220 --> 01:44:08.120 There's no difference with what Weisshaupt did. 01:44:08.360 --> 01:44:11.060 He just put a name to it and he got caught. 01:44:11.400 --> 01:44:12.580 That's the only difference. 01:44:12.580 --> 01:44:20.400 That whole system, this, what do you want to call it, a sleigh ride into hell, 01:44:20.520 --> 01:44:23.220 descent into hell, has always been in existence. 01:44:23.820 --> 01:44:30.700 It's just Masonry formalized it, categorized it, worked on it, perfected 01:44:30.700 --> 01:44:34.540 it, and then Weisshaupt came along and said, Well, now how do we just make that, 01:44:34.700 --> 01:44:36.200 make them go a little faster? 01:44:36.920 --> 01:44:38.000 That's all he did. 01:44:38.980 --> 01:44:43.320 The religion of Masonry, while often cloaked with Christian titles, 01:44:43.660 --> 01:44:48.360 is actually based upon the ancient mystery religion of Babylon and Egypt. 01:44:50.800 --> 01:44:55.980 These same mysteries governed the worship of Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. 01:44:56.580 --> 01:45:02.120 The mysteries are often symbolized by the all-seeing eye, sometimes called the eye 01:45:02.120 --> 01:45:02.720 of God. 01:45:03.260 --> 01:45:06.900 But the God of Masonry is not the same as the God of the Bible. 01:45:06.900 --> 01:45:12.500 None was more adamant about this point than the man considered by many to be the 01:45:12.500 --> 01:45:16.280 most influential Mason of all time, Albert Pike. 01:45:17.400 --> 01:45:21.960 Albert Pike was a Confederate Civil War general who was the head of American 01:45:21.960 --> 01:45:24.560 Freemasonry post-Civil War period. 01:45:25.520 --> 01:45:29.860 He was probably the most, he's certainly the most important American Mason. 01:45:30.580 --> 01:45:35.820 His book, Morals and Dogma, is required reading for every Freemason. 01:45:35.820 --> 01:45:42.820 He says on page 624, the 28th degree, teachings of the 28th degree, he says, 01:45:43.060 --> 01:45:46.180 quote, Masonry is identical with the ancient mysteries. 01:45:47.220 --> 01:45:47.480 Okay? 01:45:47.740 --> 01:45:52.040 And then he goes on, he says, we reproduce, or we reproduce, the 01:45:52.040 --> 01:45:55.680 speculations of the philosophers, the Kabbalists, the mystics, and the 01:45:55.680 --> 01:45:56.920 Gnostics, unquote. 01:45:57.420 --> 01:46:03.180 Well these were all, all systems, religious systems, that worshipped 01:46:03.180 --> 01:46:03.760 Lucifer. 01:46:03.760 --> 01:46:11.580 Pike probably mistakenly reveals his true intent because he speaks of Lucifer 01:46:11.580 --> 01:46:12.540 frequently. 01:46:12.680 --> 01:46:17.760 When he says we are identical to all the mysteries, the mysteries were all brought 01:46:17.760 --> 01:46:20.960 under God's condemnation and destroyed at one point or another in history. 01:46:21.320 --> 01:46:24.940 From the Babylonian mysteries, to the Egyptian mysteries, to the peoples 01:46:24.940 --> 01:46:31.480 living in the land of Canaan, the major reason God destroyed them, he ordered them 01:46:31.480 --> 01:46:34.580 to be killed, men and women and children, they were all worshipping Satan. 01:46:35.100 --> 01:46:40.140 Now see, Masons distinguish between Lucifer and Satan. 01:46:41.560 --> 01:46:46.620 Masons believe that Lucifer is the light bearer, the good God, and that the 01:46:46.620 --> 01:46:50.180 Christian God is called Adonai, the evil God. 01:46:50.180 --> 01:46:54.600 They use as their justification that if the Christian God was a good God, 01:46:55.020 --> 01:46:59.640 then there wouldn't be this Garden of Eden problem, where because you ate of the 01:46:59.640 --> 01:47:03.580 apple, now you have to suffer and you have to, the sweat of your brow, you have to 01:47:03.580 --> 01:47:07.580 make your living, women have to give birth in pain, etc. 01:47:07.960 --> 01:47:12.400 You know, no good father would do that to his children, so the Christian God is the 01:47:12.400 --> 01:47:17.220 evil God, where Lucifer is the good God, because he'll give you everything you 01:47:17.220 --> 01:47:19.180 want, he'll fulfill your every desire. 01:47:19.180 --> 01:47:25.100 In 1908, French occult expert Copin Albancelli wrote, Certain Masonic 01:47:25.100 --> 01:47:30.040 societies exist which are Satanic, not in the sense that the devil comes to 01:47:30.040 --> 01:47:34.440 preside at their meetings, but in that their initiates profess the cult of 01:47:34.440 --> 01:47:35.000 Lucifer. 01:47:35.540 --> 01:47:39.840 They adore him as the true God, and they are animated by an implacable 01:47:39.840 --> 01:47:44.320 hatred against the Christian God, whom they declare to be an imposter. 01:47:45.880 --> 01:47:50.680 Perhaps Albert Pike's most famous and controversial quote is this one, 01:47:51.280 --> 01:47:56.740 The true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of 01:47:56.740 --> 01:47:57.440 Adonai. 01:47:57.780 --> 01:48:03.660 But Lucifer, God of light, is struggling for humanity against Adonai, the God of 01:48:03.660 --> 01:48:04.900 darkness and evil. 01:48:05.640 --> 01:48:10.940 Because of this, occult author Edith Starr Miller wrote, Luciferian occultism 01:48:10.940 --> 01:48:12.720 controls Freemasonry. 01:48:13.500 --> 01:48:19.280 It is important to remember that the lower ranks of Masonry are largely unaware of 01:48:19.280 --> 01:48:20.720 the deception of their leaders. 01:48:21.340 --> 01:48:26.000 Master Mason Manly P. Hall, who said that when the Mason learns the mystery of his 01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:32.040 craft, the seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands, also made it clear that 01:48:32.040 --> 01:48:37.660 Freemasonry is a fraternity within a fraternity, an outer organization 01:48:37.660 --> 01:48:40.860 concealing an inner brotherhood of the elect. 01:48:40.860 --> 01:48:46.580 Meanwhile, Albert Pike wrote in his famous Morals and Dogma that, Symbols are 01:48:46.580 --> 01:48:51.100 displayed to the initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false 01:48:51.100 --> 01:48:52.020 interpretations. 01:48:52.580 --> 01:48:57.040 It is not intended that he shall understand them, but it is intended that 01:48:57.040 --> 01:48:59.320 he shall imagine that he shall understand them. 01:48:59.860 --> 01:49:04.860 Jesus said, I spoke openly to the world, and in secret have I said nothing. 01:49:04.860 --> 01:49:10.440 Nevertheless, secret societies by their very nature openly reject the example of 01:49:10.440 --> 01:49:10.860 Christ. 01:49:11.300 --> 01:49:15.880 As Albin Celli wrote, it is professed in these societies that all that the 01:49:15.880 --> 01:49:19.060 Christian God commands is disagreeable to Lucifer. 01:49:19.560 --> 01:49:24.940 In consequence, one must do all that the Christian God forbids, and one must shun 01:49:24.940 --> 01:49:27.040 like fire all that he commands. 01:49:27.600 --> 01:49:32.020 Even to gain entrance into these societies, a man must violate the 01:49:32.020 --> 01:49:32.920 commandment of God. 01:49:32.920 --> 01:49:38.060 For the Lord has said, Make no oath at all, either by heaven or by the earth, 01:49:38.420 --> 01:49:42.640 nor shall you make an oath by your head, but let your statement be, Yes, 01:49:42.780 --> 01:49:44.020 yes, or no, no. 01:49:44.360 --> 01:49:47.460 Anything more than these comes from the evil one. 01:49:47.940 --> 01:49:53.100 As we shall see, this rejection of God and his son Jesus Christ has been the driving 01:49:53.100 --> 01:49:57.860 force behind the world revolution and the growing tide of tribulation that has 01:49:57.860 --> 01:50:00.760 afflicted mankind for more than two centuries. 01:50:01.760 --> 01:50:07.920 While Christ said, I spoke openly to the world, Albert Pike declared that Masonry 01:50:07.920 --> 01:50:13.280 conceals its secrets from all except the adepts and sages or the elect. 01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:19.880 According to the Masonic Cyclopedia, an adept is a name given to the order of 01:50:19.880 --> 01:50:20.660 the Illuminati. 01:50:23.980 --> 01:50:29.240 With their common interest in Lucifer, secrecy, and a desire for world 01:50:29.240 --> 01:50:34.340 domination, we read that after lengthy negotiations between Weisshaupt and 01:50:34.340 --> 01:50:39.640 members of Masonry, an agreement was reached on December 20th, 1781, 01:50:39.960 --> 01:50:41.940 to combine the two orders. 01:50:43.120 --> 01:50:48.340 A conscientious Mason named the Comte de Verru, who attended this secret meeting at 01:50:48.340 --> 01:50:52.720 the Congress of Wilhelmsbad in Germany, later warned in his biography, 01:50:52.940 --> 01:50:56.760 saying, All this is very much more serious than you think. 01:50:56.760 --> 01:51:02.160 The conspiracy which is being woven is so well thought out that it will be 01:51:02.160 --> 01:51:05.640 impossible for the monarchy and the church to escape it. 01:51:06.260 --> 01:51:11.040 Despite the fears of the Comte de Verru, the word of God makes it clear that the 01:51:11.040 --> 01:51:13.820 gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. 01:51:14.280 --> 01:51:18.640 Yet we read that, according to his biographer, from that point forward, 01:51:18.940 --> 01:51:22.740 the Comte de Verru could only speak of Freemasonry with horror. 01:51:23.740 --> 01:51:29.200 In the 1920s, historian Nesta Webster wrote of this conspiracy, saying, 01:51:29.620 --> 01:51:34.560 It was by this terrible and formidable sect that the gigantic plan of world 01:51:34.560 --> 01:51:40.040 revolution was worked out, a program hitherto unprecedented in the history of 01:51:40.040 --> 01:51:40.720 civilization. 01:51:41.560 --> 01:51:46.280 Communistic theories had been held by isolated thinkers or groups of thinkers 01:51:46.280 --> 01:51:52.080 since the days of Plato, but no one, as far as we know, had ever yet seriously 01:51:52.080 --> 01:51:55.990 proposed to destroy everything for which civilization stands. 01:51:57.100 --> 01:52:02.020 Moreover, the plan of Illuminism has continued up to the present day. 01:52:06.360 --> 01:52:11.980 In 1784, the Illuminati were exposed by the Bavarian government, who issued an 01:52:11.980 --> 01:52:14.300 edict forbidding all secret societies. 01:52:14.300 --> 01:52:18.640 They seized documents which exposed the workings of the order, and became 01:52:18.640 --> 01:52:22.540 convinced that they were planning to take over the world by way of revolution. 01:52:23.040 --> 01:52:27.560 So concerned were they, they issued an official document to the governments of 01:52:27.560 --> 01:52:31.720 Europe called the Original Writings of the Order of the Illuminati. 01:52:32.420 --> 01:52:37.840 Sadly, the powers of Europe did not take the warning or the Illuminati seriously. 01:52:39.520 --> 01:52:45.420 In 1790, the famed occultist and magician Cagliostro was arrested by the Inquisition 01:52:45.420 --> 01:52:45.960 in Rome. 01:52:46.420 --> 01:52:52.480 He told them that he had been initiated into the Illuminati in 1783, and was shown 01:52:52.480 --> 01:52:58.260 a book which stated that Illuminism was a conspiracy directed against thrones and 01:52:58.260 --> 01:53:01.880 altars, and that the first blows were to attain France. 01:53:01.880 --> 01:53:08.180 The first Illuminist overthrow of a nation was the French Revolution. 01:53:11.680 --> 01:53:16.200 Most of us in our world history classes were pretty much taught that the French 01:53:16.200 --> 01:53:23.800 Revolution was glorious, and that the French monarchy was terrible, and so the 01:53:23.800 --> 01:53:28.540 public finally rose up and broke into the Bastille and took the guns and went out 01:53:28.540 --> 01:53:30.840 and had a revolution and kicked out the monarchs. 01:53:30.840 --> 01:53:34.880 That's what we grow up with, but that's not the fact of the matter. 01:53:35.540 --> 01:53:40.400 A group of radicals surfaced in France known as the Jacobin Clubs that were 01:53:40.400 --> 01:53:44.740 organized under the direct inspiration of the Bavarian Illuminati. 01:53:45.360 --> 01:53:51.040 In 1793, Alois Hoffman, the editor of the Vienna Journal, wrote, I shall never cease 01:53:51.040 --> 01:53:56.500 to repeat that the French Revolution has come from masonry and the Illuminati. 01:53:57.410 --> 01:54:02.960 The Jacobins vowed to destroy the monarchy and sought to establish what they called a 01:54:02.960 --> 01:54:04.200 New World Order. 01:54:05.500 --> 01:54:10.840 The French government was the most liberal in all of Europe, was the least likely to 01:54:10.840 --> 01:54:12.360 be in need of a revolution. 01:54:12.960 --> 01:54:19.180 In 1789, an artificial shortage of grain was created by Illuminist manipulations of 01:54:19.180 --> 01:54:19.940 the grain market. 01:54:20.380 --> 01:54:24.800 This produced a famine so intense that it brought the nation to the edge of revolt. 01:54:24.800 --> 01:54:30.260 The conspirators held up the food supplies and blocked all reforms in the National 01:54:30.260 --> 01:54:34.600 Assembly to exacerbate the situation, and the populace starved. 01:54:35.140 --> 01:54:39.860 With the Jacobin propaganda, the people blamed the monarchy, King Louis XVI, 01:54:40.260 --> 01:54:42.000 and his queen, Marie Antoinette. 01:54:43.000 --> 01:54:47.780 Antoinette is famous for having said, let them eat cake, in response to the 01:54:47.780 --> 01:54:48.900 starvation of the people. 01:54:48.900 --> 01:54:53.600 But modern research has exposed the phrase was set down earlier by philosopher 01:54:53.600 --> 01:54:59.300 Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1766, while Marie Antoinette was only 10 years 01:54:59.300 --> 01:54:59.700 old. 01:55:00.220 --> 01:55:06.260 As one source writes, the saying was attributed to Marie Antoinette in 1789 by 01:55:06.260 --> 01:55:10.400 radical agitators who were trying to turn the populace against her. 01:55:10.400 --> 01:55:16.500 As a result of such lies and propaganda, King Louis XVI and his queen were 01:55:16.500 --> 01:55:19.840 overthrown and murdered on behalf of the revolution. 01:55:20.980 --> 01:55:25.280 King Louis seems to have been a more compassionate ruler than historians often 01:55:25.280 --> 01:55:26.160 credit him for. 01:55:26.660 --> 01:55:31.260 When the revolutionaries broke into the royal palace, his Swiss guard was slain 01:55:31.260 --> 01:55:34.420 because they were ordered not to fire upon the people. 01:55:34.920 --> 01:55:39.760 At his execution, Louis said, I pardon those who have occasioned my death, 01:55:39.840 --> 01:55:44.880 and I pray to God that the blood you are going to shed may never be visited on 01:55:44.880 --> 01:55:45.480 France. 01:55:46.480 --> 01:55:51.980 The Bible says concerning governing authorities, there is no power but of God. 01:55:52.360 --> 01:55:55.060 The powers that be are ordained of God. 01:55:55.500 --> 01:55:59.920 Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God. 01:56:00.180 --> 01:56:04.140 And they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 01:56:08.820 --> 01:56:13.040 While pretending to fight for the rights of the people, the Jacobins with their 01:56:13.040 --> 01:56:17.640 satanic agenda became more bloody and tyrannical than most monarchies have ever 01:56:17.640 --> 01:56:17.960 been. 01:56:19.040 --> 01:56:21.620 Terror was rampant in the streets of Paris. 01:56:22.040 --> 01:56:27.260 The full horror of government by Satanism was being played out, complete with human 01:56:27.260 --> 01:56:28.440 butchering and cannibalism. 01:56:29.340 --> 01:56:34.460 During the reign of terror, approximately 18,000 citizens were sent to the 01:56:34.460 --> 01:56:39.220 guillotine, and many more died in prison without being formally brought to trial. 01:56:42.320 --> 01:56:47.380 Adam Weisshaupt sent his hand-picked representative into Paris, a man named 01:56:47.380 --> 01:56:48.800 Anacarsus Cloutz. 01:56:49.040 --> 01:56:54.720 Cloutz arrogantly claimed to be the orator of mankind, and called himself the 01:56:54.720 --> 01:56:56.560 personal enemy of Jesus Christ. 01:56:57.060 --> 01:57:00.940 He then set about to remove all traces of Christianity from France. 01:57:01.240 --> 01:57:05.080 He even abolished Sunday and attempted to create his own calendar. 01:57:05.820 --> 01:57:10.380 But perhaps the most ghastly and horrific element of the French Revolution was a 01:57:10.380 --> 01:57:13.840 program that would set a pattern for wicked governments ever after. 01:57:14.680 --> 01:57:20.920 In 1793, the revolutionary leaders embarked upon a fearful new project called 01:57:20.920 --> 01:57:22.280 depopulation. 01:57:22.280 --> 01:57:28.620 They attempted to reduce the population of France, which at the time was 25 million. 01:57:28.740 --> 01:57:31.240 They decided they were going to reduce that down to 16 million. 01:57:31.660 --> 01:57:32.000 Why? 01:57:32.140 --> 01:57:35.340 Because there was high unemployment as a result of the French Revolution, 01:57:35.580 --> 01:57:39.420 so their answer to unemployment was kill about 9 million people. 01:57:44.740 --> 01:57:50.520 The Jacobins toiled over maps and selected in each region the number of citizens to 01:57:50.520 --> 01:57:51.080 be murdered. 01:57:54.850 --> 01:58:01.470 In Nance, 500 children were killed in one butchery, and 144 poor women who sewed 01:58:01.470 --> 01:58:03.890 shirts for the army were thrown into the river. 01:58:05.350 --> 01:58:09.970 Stone quarries were a favorite site for mass extermination, and it was said that 01:58:09.970 --> 01:58:14.370 many quarry operators had to shut down due to the piles of bodies. 01:58:15.090 --> 01:58:20.550 While the depopulation program failed to achieve its goal of slaughtering 9 to 17 01:58:20.550 --> 01:58:26.130 million people, the death toll taken at the time records about 300,000 murdered. 01:58:33.340 --> 01:58:38.540 More than a century later, Adolf Hitler would refer to his Nazi movement as the 01:58:38.540 --> 01:58:41.120 exact counterpart of the French Revolution. 01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:49.780 Dr. Brzezinski, the former National Security Advisor in 1993, estimated that 01:58:49.780 --> 01:58:57.260 in the 20th century, 167 to 175 million lives were deliberately extinguished by 01:58:57.260 --> 01:58:58.980 politically motivated carnage. 01:58:59.420 --> 01:59:02.780 Many have come to believe that such carnage began with the Jacobin 01:59:02.780 --> 01:59:04.140 depopulation program. 01:59:06.940 --> 01:59:11.760 In time, the Jacobins desired to foment a second revolution in America. 01:59:12.420 --> 01:59:16.140 They wanted to bring the French Revolution over to America, which was after the 01:59:16.140 --> 01:59:17.040 American Revolution. 01:59:17.440 --> 01:59:20.540 But the American Revolution didn't turn out the way the French Revolution did. 01:59:21.480 --> 01:59:25.000 Christianity remained very strong and a strong part of the new American 01:59:25.000 --> 01:59:29.360 government, where religion was eliminated in France by the French Revolution. 01:59:29.700 --> 01:59:30.980 So the French didn't like that. 01:59:31.060 --> 01:59:33.700 They wanted to come and have re-revolution in America. 01:59:33.700 --> 01:59:40.240 In 1785, the Columbian Lodge of the Order of the Illuminati was established in New 01:59:40.240 --> 01:59:40.820 York City. 01:59:41.860 --> 01:59:46.840 Oddly enough, the Illuminati were supported by some Americans, most notably 01:59:46.840 --> 01:59:48.080 Thomas Jefferson. 01:59:48.660 --> 01:59:54.180 Jefferson publicly defended Adam Weishaupt and attacked those who wrote exposures of 01:59:54.180 --> 01:59:54.880 the Illuminati. 01:59:55.520 --> 02:00:00.260 Alexander Hamilton, the Secretary of the Treasury, charged that Jefferson had 02:00:00.260 --> 02:00:02.240 helped to foment the French Revolution. 02:00:02.240 --> 02:00:06.400 While the Reverend Jedediah Morris, the father of Samuel B. 02:00:06.500 --> 02:00:10.520 Morris, who invented the telegraph, declared that Jefferson was an 02:00:10.520 --> 02:00:11.320 Illuminatus. 02:00:12.480 --> 02:00:17.580 Like Weishaupt and those who began the French Revolution, Jefferson had his own 02:00:17.580 --> 02:00:22.280 contempt for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and set about to write his own version of 02:00:22.280 --> 02:00:24.540 it, now known as the Jefferson Bible. 02:00:24.540 --> 02:00:27.020 In a letter to John Adams, he wrote, 02:00:43.920 --> 02:00:48.540 Among those parts of the Gospel that Jefferson considered to be dunghills were 02:00:48.540 --> 02:00:53.020 things like the virgin birth, the miracles of Jesus, and the resurrection of Christ, 02:00:53.300 --> 02:00:55.320 about which the Apostle Paul wrote, 02:00:58.500 --> 02:01:03.640 Yet all of these things were cut out of Jefferson's version of the New Testament. 02:01:05.220 --> 02:01:07.300 In the Bible, God says, 02:01:18.340 --> 02:01:20.440 The Bible also says, 02:01:26.220 --> 02:01:28.860 Concerning the book of Revelation, Jefferson wrote, 02:01:33.640 --> 02:01:38.000 They were merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy nor capable of explanation 02:01:38.000 --> 02:01:41.600 than the incoherences of our own nightly dreams. 02:01:43.120 --> 02:01:49.100 Jefferson's tombstone seems to best define his true faith, an Egyptian obelisk that 02:01:49.100 --> 02:01:51.680 he himself designed prior to his death. 02:01:52.160 --> 02:01:57.060 Like the all-seeing eye, the obelisk is a symbol of the ancient mystery religion, 02:01:57.500 --> 02:02:00.980 the same worship of Freemasonry and the Illuminati. 02:02:03.820 --> 02:02:08.900 The idea of the Illuminati, or of a plan for the overthrow of nations, was not 02:02:08.900 --> 02:02:12.680 always considered the stuff of conspiracy theorists and fanatics. 02:02:13.220 --> 02:02:15.900 It was written of by men like George Washington. 02:02:16.460 --> 02:02:21.140 So concerned was Washington over the Jacobin threat in America that he came out 02:02:21.140 --> 02:02:25.340 of retirement and again accepted the appointment of commander-in-chief of the 02:02:25.340 --> 02:02:27.080 army to fight against the movement. 02:02:27.080 --> 02:02:29.600 In a letter to the Reverend W.D. 02:02:29.660 --> 02:02:35.180 Schneider in 1798, Washington wrote, I have heard of the nefarious and 02:02:35.180 --> 02:02:37.620 dangerous plan and doctrines of the Illuminati. 02:02:38.020 --> 02:02:42.200 It was not my intention to doubt that the doctrines of the Illuminati and the 02:02:42.200 --> 02:02:45.840 principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. 02:02:46.220 --> 02:02:51.160 On the contrary, no one is more fully satisfied of this fact than I am. 02:02:51.760 --> 02:02:56.060 There are many such references concerning the presence of Illuminism in America. 02:02:56.060 --> 02:03:01.400 Reportedly, Harvard's Houghton Library contains numerous sermons, pamphlets and 02:03:01.400 --> 02:03:07.100 books denouncing Illuminism or the Illuminati during the late 1790s and early 02:03:07.100 --> 02:03:08.120 1800s. 02:03:08.500 --> 02:03:13.680 Warnings were even preached in churches, such as this 1812 sermon by the Reverend 02:03:13.680 --> 02:03:17.980 Joseph Willard who said, There is sufficient evidence that a number of 02:03:17.980 --> 02:03:22.660 societies of the Illuminati have been established in this land of gospel light 02:03:22.660 --> 02:03:26.900 and civil liberty, which were first organized from the Grand Society in 02:03:26.900 --> 02:03:27.400 France. 02:03:27.700 --> 02:03:32.820 They are doubtless secretly striving to undermine all our ancient institutions, 02:03:33.200 --> 02:03:34.280 civil and sacred. 02:03:36.360 --> 02:03:42.700 In 1885, Monsignor George Dillon wrote, Communism is but a form of the illuminated 02:03:42.700 --> 02:03:44.400 masonry of Weisshaupt. 02:03:46.260 --> 02:03:50.660 The Russian Revolution, like the revolution in France, is often portrayed 02:03:50.660 --> 02:03:55.640 as the noble struggle of just men desiring to overthrow an unjust monarchy. 02:03:56.120 --> 02:04:01.740 But as with Weisshaupt and his inspired French revolt, a conspiracy against God is 02:04:01.740 --> 02:04:03.400 to be found at the very heart of it. 02:04:04.380 --> 02:04:09.800 In his book, Marx and Satan, author Richard Wurmbrand exposes the truth about 02:04:09.800 --> 02:04:12.560 the man most credited with the communist idea. 02:04:12.560 --> 02:04:17.780 Marx began his life as a professing Christian, even writing a poem titled, 02:04:18.080 --> 02:04:21.480 The Union of the Faithful with Christ in Favor of Christianity. 02:04:22.000 --> 02:04:26.200 But by the time he finished high school, somehow his heart had turned. 02:04:26.600 --> 02:04:31.800 In another poem he wrote, I wish to avenge myself against the one who rules above. 02:04:32.640 --> 02:04:36.860 In a poem titled, Pale Maiden, Marx wrote, Thus heaven I forfeited, 02:04:37.060 --> 02:04:38.260 I know it full well. 02:04:38.580 --> 02:04:41.880 My soul, once true to God, is chosen for hell. 02:04:41.880 --> 02:04:45.660 But Marx was not alone in his thoughts of damnation. 02:04:46.120 --> 02:04:50.000 He surrounded himself with like-minded fellows at the Internationale, 02:04:50.220 --> 02:04:53.420 a working man's association with a secret agenda. 02:04:54.060 --> 02:04:55.540 French historian E.E. 02:04:55.620 --> 02:05:00.680 Freyberg wrote, The Internationale everywhere found support in free masonry. 02:05:01.040 --> 02:05:02.340 While author William T. 02:05:02.460 --> 02:05:06.780 Still writes that, The Internationale can hardly be viewed as anything but 02:05:06.780 --> 02:05:09.300 illuminized masonry in a new disguise. 02:05:09.300 --> 02:05:15.400 Among Marx's comrades were men like Mikhail Bakunin who wrote, The evil one is 02:05:15.400 --> 02:05:17.980 the satanic revolt against divine authority. 02:05:18.560 --> 02:05:23.760 Satan, the eternal rebel, the first free thinker and the emancipator of worlds. 02:05:25.180 --> 02:05:30.700 Then there was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon who wrote, Come, Satan, slandered by small and 02:05:30.700 --> 02:05:31.360 by kings. 02:05:31.720 --> 02:05:33.620 God is stupidity and cowardice. 02:05:33.920 --> 02:05:35.860 God is hypocrisy and falsehood. 02:05:36.180 --> 02:05:37.000 God is evil. 02:05:38.200 --> 02:05:43.240 Or Heinrich Heine called the intimate friend of Marx who wrote, I called the 02:05:43.240 --> 02:05:44.380 devil and he came. 02:05:44.660 --> 02:05:46.780 His face with wonder I must scan. 02:05:47.080 --> 02:05:49.180 He is not ugly, he is not lame. 02:05:49.440 --> 02:05:51.400 He is a delightful, charming man. 02:05:52.480 --> 02:05:57.340 Wurmbrand writes that, Marx and his comrades, while anti-God, were not 02:05:57.340 --> 02:05:59.840 atheists as present-day Marxists claim to be. 02:06:00.280 --> 02:06:05.460 That is, while they openly denounced and reviled God, they hated a God in whom they 02:06:05.460 --> 02:06:05.940 believed. 02:06:05.940 --> 02:06:12.000 When the revolution broke out in Paris in 1871, the Communard Florence declared, 02:06:12.380 --> 02:06:14.000 Our enemy is God. 02:06:14.360 --> 02:06:16.560 Hatred of God is the beginning of wisdom. 02:06:17.180 --> 02:06:21.380 Marx greatly praised the Communards who openly proclaimed this aim. 02:06:22.480 --> 02:06:26.260 Such was the thinking of the men whose influence would change the world through 02:06:26.260 --> 02:06:26.960 communism. 02:06:27.440 --> 02:06:32.460 As Nesta Webster wrote, The Internationale became simply an engine of warfare against 02:06:32.460 --> 02:06:33.220 civilization. 02:06:33.220 --> 02:06:37.560 Just as the Jacobin Club had openly executed the hidden plan of the 02:06:37.560 --> 02:06:41.660 Illuminati, the Internationale, holding within it the same terrible 02:06:41.660 --> 02:06:44.760 secrets, carried on the work of world revolution. 02:06:48.240 --> 02:06:53.280 This revolution would next enter into Russia to overthrow Tsar Nicholas II and 02:06:53.280 --> 02:06:57.320 his family, who were brutally murdered on July 17th, 1918. 02:06:57.960 --> 02:07:01.900 As with the French Revolution, the powers that took over were far more 02:07:01.900 --> 02:07:05.140 bloodthirsty and cruel than any monarch in Russia's history. 02:07:05.800 --> 02:07:11.020 The two chief instruments, Lenin and Trotsky, inspired a civil war that cost 28 02:07:11.020 --> 02:07:12.780 million Russian lives. 02:07:13.260 --> 02:07:17.380 When Joseph Stalin inherited Lenin's legacy, he would be called the most 02:07:17.380 --> 02:07:21.060 dictatorial and murderous tyrant the world had ever known. 02:07:21.320 --> 02:07:26.400 His own daughter said of him, A terrible demon had taken possession of my father's 02:07:26.400 --> 02:07:26.660 soul. 02:07:27.400 --> 02:07:33.080 It is now estimated by Soviet sources that Stalin's reign of terror killed 40 million 02:07:33.080 --> 02:07:37.500 Russians, a far greater death toll than what is so often attributed to Adolf 02:07:37.500 --> 02:07:37.820 Hitler. 02:07:38.860 --> 02:07:43.460 Sources claim that Europeans and Americans financed Lenin and Trotsky in their 02:07:43.460 --> 02:07:45.780 attempts to foment a revolution in Russia. 02:07:46.320 --> 02:07:49.000 Many have seen in this a global conspiracy. 02:07:49.600 --> 02:07:54.300 Among them was a young Winston Churchill, who made this statement where he tied it 02:07:54.300 --> 02:07:57.180 all together in a London newspaper in 1920. 02:07:57.820 --> 02:08:02.420 He said, From the days of Spartacus Weishaupt, to those of Karl Marx, 02:08:02.720 --> 02:08:06.980 to those of Trotsky, this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of 02:08:06.980 --> 02:08:09.260 civilization has been steadily growing. 02:08:09.840 --> 02:08:14.380 It played a definitely recognizable role in the tragedy of the French Revolution. 02:08:14.900 --> 02:08:19.200 It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th 02:08:19.200 --> 02:08:19.560 century. 02:08:19.560 --> 02:08:24.700 And now, at last, this band of extraordinary personalities from the 02:08:24.700 --> 02:08:29.020 underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian 02:08:29.020 --> 02:08:34.400 people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters 02:08:34.400 --> 02:08:36.280 of that enormous empire. 02:08:40.860 --> 02:08:46.800 Yet in 1945, Churchill would be among the three leaders at the infamous meeting at 02:08:46.800 --> 02:08:51.920 Yalta, an historic event that many argue was a gigantic push for the new world 02:08:51.920 --> 02:08:52.240 order. 02:08:52.800 --> 02:08:58.060 Is it possible that somehow Churchill's youthful convictions changed 25 years 02:08:58.060 --> 02:08:58.420 later? 02:08:58.820 --> 02:09:03.120 For now he would sit in support of the very movement he sought to expose. 02:09:04.940 --> 02:09:09.240 The Soviet Union, under the bloody leadership of Joseph Stalin, was given 02:09:09.240 --> 02:09:13.600 power over half of Europe, a decision that would later lead to the murder of 02:09:13.600 --> 02:09:14.460 countless millions. 02:09:14.460 --> 02:09:18.380 It is said this was largely due to the efforts of Franklin D. 02:09:18.560 --> 02:09:18.920 Roosevelt. 02:09:19.520 --> 02:09:24.880 FDR was also responsible for putting the Masonic seal on the back of the US dollar 02:09:24.880 --> 02:09:31.100 bill with the all-seeing eye and the words Novus Ordo Seclorum, translated by many 02:09:31.100 --> 02:09:33.540 researchers as the New World Order. 02:09:33.920 --> 02:09:38.380 The Reverend Jim Shaw, a former 33rd degree Mason, who left the order and wrote 02:09:38.380 --> 02:09:43.260 his book titled The Deadly Deception, was interviewed by a reporter in 1989. 02:09:43.260 --> 02:09:47.660 We read that, concerning the famous picture at the Yalta conference, 02:09:47.960 --> 02:09:52.400 Reverend Shaw said, and there they were, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, 02:09:52.800 --> 02:09:54.140 all three Masons. 02:09:54.880 --> 02:10:00.560 Some may suggest that Yalta was simply the poor judgment of men who did not realize 02:10:00.560 --> 02:10:01.400 what they were doing. 02:10:01.940 --> 02:10:05.360 But is it possible that a much greater agenda was at work? 02:10:14.300 --> 02:10:18.020 In 1830, Adam Weissop died at the age of 82. 02:10:19.400 --> 02:10:24.260 In time, the power of Masonry and the Illuminati fell into the hands of two 02:10:24.260 --> 02:10:29.420 chief men, Albert Pike in the United States and a man named Giuseppe Mazzini, 02:10:29.700 --> 02:10:34.720 the head of Italian Masonry, who is alleged to have said, quote, our final end 02:10:34.720 --> 02:10:39.780 is that of Voltaire and of the French Revolution, the destruction forever of the 02:10:39.780 --> 02:10:40.700 Christian idea. 02:10:41.340 --> 02:10:46.480 Together, Pike and Mazzini devised a diabolical plan to finally bring about the 02:10:46.480 --> 02:10:47.400 New World Order. 02:10:47.400 --> 02:10:54.240 In 1871, Mazzini issued a letter in which he outlined the final three-part plan for 02:10:54.240 --> 02:10:59.300 ridding not just Europe, but the entire world of Christianity, bringing it under 02:10:59.300 --> 02:11:02.760 the illuminated dictatorship of Luciferianism. 02:11:04.240 --> 02:11:09.200 Here in Washington, D.C., beneath the statue of Albert Pike, author William T. 02:11:09.320 --> 02:11:12.520 Still explains the contents of this remarkable letter. 02:11:13.340 --> 02:11:17.420 This is a letter that was written by the head of European Masonry, a man by the 02:11:17.420 --> 02:11:22.220 name of Mazzini, who wrote it to Albert Pike about 1871. 02:11:23.160 --> 02:11:26.920 It was in the British Museum for a number of years on display, so we know it 02:11:26.920 --> 02:11:27.280 existed. 02:11:27.420 --> 02:11:28.820 It's now disappeared, incidentally. 02:11:29.160 --> 02:11:32.860 The subject of the letter was to try to figure out a way to finally get humankind 02:11:33.640 --> 02:11:37.780 to give up their cherished concept of nationalism and finally give in to the New 02:11:37.780 --> 02:11:39.700 World Order internationalist construct. 02:11:40.400 --> 02:11:43.020 The letter called for a series of three world wars. 02:11:43.020 --> 02:11:49.700 The first war would be to depose the Tsar in Russia so they could create an 02:11:49.700 --> 02:11:53.060 experiment in the control of populations, have a nation to do that in. 02:11:53.480 --> 02:11:58.280 Then the second world war would allow this new nation to take control of Europe. 02:11:58.500 --> 02:12:02.120 Of course, they only got half of Europe, but that was the best they could do under 02:12:02.120 --> 02:12:03.640 the conditions after World War II. 02:12:04.320 --> 02:12:09.760 Then the third world war would be between the Jews and the Muslims and would bring 02:12:09.760 --> 02:12:14.660 about the Battle of Armageddon and would finally make mankind so sick of warfare 02:12:14.660 --> 02:12:19.760 that they'd give up their cherished concept of nationalism and give in to the 02:12:19.760 --> 02:12:21.100 New World Order concept. 02:12:23.620 --> 02:12:28.700 If these things are so, and if such a letter really did exist, what does this 02:12:28.700 --> 02:12:32.040 suggest about the world's conflict in the Middle East? 02:12:32.560 --> 02:12:37.120 This is the number one problem that the United Nations faces today. 02:12:37.280 --> 02:12:38.280 Everybody knows it. 02:12:39.130 --> 02:12:40.000 Everyone's afraid of it. 02:12:40.120 --> 02:12:43.420 What happens if this powder keg starts off in the Middle East? 02:12:43.460 --> 02:12:44.640 We'd be looking at World War III. 02:12:45.260 --> 02:12:49.580 Can this be the conspiracy of kings and rulers mentioned in the Bible? 02:12:50.380 --> 02:12:55.380 Mazzini wrote of the third world war that it will provoke a formidable social 02:12:55.380 --> 02:12:57.840 cataclysm and the most bloody turmoil. 02:12:58.180 --> 02:13:01.900 Then everywhere the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, 02:13:02.460 --> 02:13:06.340 will receive the true light of the pure doctrine of Lucifer. 02:13:07.240 --> 02:13:12.720 The Bible says, Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of 02:13:12.720 --> 02:13:13.260 prophecy. 02:13:14.480 --> 02:13:18.800 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon him 02:13:18.800 --> 02:13:20.300 was called faithful and true. 02:13:20.680 --> 02:13:24.980 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together 02:13:24.980 --> 02:13:29.000 to make war against him that sat on the horse and against his army. 02:13:30.780 --> 02:13:35.500 The Bible says of the kings that shall come, These shall make war against the 02:13:35.500 --> 02:13:40.860 Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. 02:13:45.120 --> 02:13:51.200 Therefore, O son of man, say to them, As I live, says the Lord God, I have no 02:13:51.200 --> 02:13:57.040 pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and 02:13:57.040 --> 02:13:57.400 live. 02:13:59.080 --> 02:14:04.360 Turn ye, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die? 02:14:09.950 --> 02:14:15.330 Behold, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also who 02:14:15.330 --> 02:14:19.750 pierced him, and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. 02:14:20.590 --> 02:14:22.530 Even so, Amen. 02:16:27.580 --> 02:16:28.340 The 02:16:46.220 --> 02:16:53.680 future What we wish for the German youth of the future is something different from 02:16:53.680 --> 02:16:56.480 what the old age wished for. 02:16:57.580 --> 02:17:00.440 We must become a new human being. 02:17:01.580 --> 02:17:09.860 Let us not succumb to the typical degenerative effects of this new age. 02:18:46.200 --> 02:18:51.680 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you, in which I stir up your pure 02:18:51.680 --> 02:18:56.660 mind by way of remembrance, that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken 02:18:56.660 --> 02:19:01.660 before by the holy prophets and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the 02:19:01.660 --> 02:19:06.780 Lord and Savior, knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days 02:19:06.780 --> 02:19:12.340 scoffers walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his 02:19:12.340 --> 02:19:12.700 coming? 02:19:13.280 --> 02:19:18.220 For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the 02:19:18.220 --> 02:19:19.440 beginning of the creation. 02:19:19.440 --> 02:19:26.320 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were 02:19:26.320 --> 02:19:32.980 of old and the earth standing out of the water and in the water, by which the world 02:19:32.980 --> 02:19:37.100 that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. 02:19:40.610 --> 02:19:46.230 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without 02:19:46.230 --> 02:19:50.650 form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 02:19:50.650 --> 02:19:57.650 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and God said, Let there be 02:19:57.650 --> 02:19:58.050 light. 02:19:58.670 --> 02:20:03.470 And there was light, and God saw the light, that it was good. 02:20:06.390 --> 02:20:11.650 And God divided the light from the darkness, and God called the light day, 02:20:12.210 --> 02:20:14.110 and the darkness he called night. 02:20:15.010 --> 02:20:20.510 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide 02:20:20.510 --> 02:20:22.170 the waters from the waters. 02:20:22.690 --> 02:20:27.470 And God divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which 02:20:27.470 --> 02:20:28.830 were above the firmament. 02:20:29.250 --> 02:20:30.190 And it was so. 02:20:31.850 --> 02:20:34.610 And God called the firmament heaven. 02:20:40.330 --> 02:20:44.850 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one 02:20:44.850 --> 02:20:47.210 place, and let the dry land appear. 02:20:47.210 --> 02:20:49.170 And it was so. 02:20:51.690 --> 02:20:56.610 And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering together of the waters 02:20:56.610 --> 02:20:57.830 he called seas. 02:20:58.790 --> 02:21:00.890 And God saw that it was good. 02:21:02.950 --> 02:21:08.610 And God said, Let the earth bring forth vegetation, the herb yielding seed, 02:21:08.890 --> 02:21:11.550 and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind. 02:21:12.310 --> 02:21:17.870 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day 02:21:17.870 --> 02:21:18.650 from the night. 02:21:20.190 --> 02:21:24.710 And God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, 02:21:25.030 --> 02:21:27.190 and the lesser light to rule the night. 02:21:28.870 --> 02:21:30.830 He made the stars also. 02:21:31.510 --> 02:21:35.490 And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, 02:21:35.890 --> 02:21:40.410 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the 02:21:40.410 --> 02:21:40.770 darkness. 02:21:41.330 --> 02:21:43.470 And God saw that it was good. 02:21:45.130 --> 02:21:50.310 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath 02:21:50.310 --> 02:21:53.430 life, and fowl that may fly above the earth. 02:21:53.810 --> 02:21:58.190 And God created great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, 02:21:58.530 --> 02:22:01.810 which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind. 02:22:04.570 --> 02:22:09.310 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, 02:22:09.710 --> 02:22:13.630 cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind. 02:22:13.990 --> 02:22:14.910 And it was so. 02:22:15.590 --> 02:22:20.190 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and cattle after their kind, 02:22:20.510 --> 02:22:24.030 and every thing that creeps upon the earth after its kind. 02:22:24.350 --> 02:22:26.590 And God saw that it was good. 02:22:28.010 --> 02:22:34.710 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them 02:22:34.710 --> 02:22:39.870 have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the 02:22:39.870 --> 02:22:44.890 cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps 02:22:44.890 --> 02:22:45.650 upon the earth. 02:22:46.350 --> 02:22:49.070 So God created man in his own image. 02:22:49.910 --> 02:22:52.330 In the image of God he created him. 02:22:55.250 --> 02:23:00.850 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils 02:23:00.850 --> 02:23:04.650 the breath of life, and man became a living soul. 02:23:21.700 --> 02:23:27.000 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he 02:23:27.000 --> 02:23:27.540 had formed. 02:23:28.060 --> 02:23:32.620 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the 02:23:32.620 --> 02:23:37.720 sight, and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, 02:23:38.100 --> 02:23:40.380 and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 02:23:41.760 --> 02:23:43.700 And the Lord God made man of the dust of the ground, and the Lord God commanded the 02:23:43.700 --> 02:23:49.120 man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the 02:23:49.120 --> 02:23:53.900 knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it, for in the day that you eat 02:23:53.900 --> 02:23:56.140 thereof you shall surely die. 02:24:00.820 --> 02:24:04.800 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone. 02:24:05.340 --> 02:24:07.240 I will make him a help fit for him. 02:24:07.820 --> 02:24:12.840 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl 02:24:12.840 --> 02:24:16.700 of the air, and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. 02:24:17.440 --> 02:24:22.240 And whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 02:24:22.840 --> 02:24:27.800 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every 02:24:27.800 --> 02:24:28.940 beast of the field. 02:24:29.380 --> 02:24:33.000 But for Adam there was not found a help fit for him. 02:24:35.500 --> 02:24:40.580 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. 02:24:42.780 --> 02:24:47.540 And he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. 02:24:48.020 --> 02:24:53.640 And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her 02:24:53.640 --> 02:24:54.380 unto the man. 02:25:13.820 --> 02:25:19.060 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. 02:25:19.520 --> 02:25:22.960 She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. 02:25:48.920 --> 02:25:52.840 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 02:25:58.160 --> 02:26:03.240 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had 02:26:03.240 --> 02:26:03.600 made. 02:26:03.920 --> 02:26:09.400 And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every 02:26:09.400 --> 02:26:10.440 tree of the garden? 02:26:11.080 --> 02:26:14.420 And the woman said, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, 02:26:14.540 --> 02:26:18.260 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, 02:26:18.540 --> 02:26:21.940 Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 02:26:22.520 --> 02:26:26.120 And the serpent said, Ye shall not surely die. 02:26:26.640 --> 02:26:32.140 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, 02:26:32.380 --> 02:26:35.820 and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 02:26:37.660 --> 02:26:42.220 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to 02:26:42.220 --> 02:26:47.280 the eyes, and a tree desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, 02:26:47.460 --> 02:26:51.900 and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. 02:27:03.000 --> 02:27:08.900 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. 02:27:10.400 --> 02:27:14.180 And they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 02:27:14.920 --> 02:27:19.120 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the 02:27:19.120 --> 02:27:19.440 day. 02:27:20.380 --> 02:27:24.340 And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the 02:27:24.340 --> 02:27:25.300 trees of the garden. 02:27:26.320 --> 02:27:31.680 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said to him, Where art thou? 02:27:36.330 --> 02:27:41.370 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was 02:27:41.370 --> 02:27:41.690 naked. 02:27:44.590 --> 02:27:48.750 And God said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? 02:27:49.750 --> 02:27:54.010 Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat? 02:27:55.750 --> 02:28:00.910 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the 02:28:00.910 --> 02:28:02.070 tree, and I did eat. 02:28:02.830 --> 02:28:07.330 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? 02:28:07.850 --> 02:28:11.570 And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 02:28:12.110 --> 02:28:17.450 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art 02:28:17.450 --> 02:28:21.510 cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. 02:28:22.130 --> 02:28:27.670 Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, 02:28:27.990 --> 02:28:30.310 and between thy seed and her seed. 02:28:30.810 --> 02:28:34.730 He shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 02:28:35.890 --> 02:28:41.070 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception. 02:28:41.070 --> 02:28:47.030 In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thy desire shall be to thy husband, 02:28:47.350 --> 02:28:49.230 and he shall rule over thee. 02:28:50.350 --> 02:28:56.310 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, 02:28:56.730 --> 02:29:01.130 and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat 02:29:01.130 --> 02:29:04.330 of it, cursed is the ground for thy sake. 02:29:05.130 --> 02:29:08.750 In sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. 02:29:08.750 --> 02:29:14.830 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, till thou return unto the ground. 02:29:15.490 --> 02:29:21.650 For out of it was thou taken, for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 02:30:44.620 --> 02:30:45.900 The Russian Revolution 02:30:49.880 --> 02:30:54.620 Famed Russian author and Nobel Prize winner, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 02:30:54.900 --> 02:30:59.400 wrote of the calamities that afflicted his people in the bloody wake of the Russian 02:30:59.400 --> 02:30:59.980 Revolution. 02:31:01.080 --> 02:31:06.180 At one point he said, Over half a century ago, while I was still a child, 02:31:06.480 --> 02:31:11.300 I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the 02:31:11.300 --> 02:31:13.600 great disasters that had befallen Russia. 02:31:14.360 --> 02:31:16.900 Men have forgotten God, they said. 02:31:17.340 --> 02:31:18.800 That's why all this has happened. 02:31:19.740 --> 02:31:24.180 Since then I have spent well nigh fifty years working on the history of our 02:31:24.180 --> 02:31:24.760 revolution. 02:31:25.300 --> 02:31:30.680 But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of 02:31:30.680 --> 02:31:35.260 the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, 02:31:35.640 --> 02:31:40.500 I could not put it more accurately than to repeat, Men have forgotten God. 02:31:40.980 --> 02:31:42.480 That's why all this has happened. 02:31:43.500 --> 02:31:48.460 In the United States, the phrase, In God We Trust, adorns the back of the U 02:31:48.460 --> 02:31:48.660 .S. 02:31:48.720 --> 02:31:49.320 dollar bill. 02:31:49.900 --> 02:31:55.460 Nevertheless, controversy rages to this day about America's Christian heritage and 02:31:55.460 --> 02:31:57.540 the true intent of the Founding Fathers. 02:31:58.200 --> 02:31:59.920 But where does this debate begin? 02:32:00.540 --> 02:32:05.720 The early American colonies at Jamestown and later Plymouth came to America under 02:32:05.720 --> 02:32:09.880 the authority of King James, who authorized the King James Bible. 02:32:11.780 --> 02:32:16.400 William Bradford, who came to America on board the Mayflower to become the chief 02:32:16.400 --> 02:32:20.760 governor of the Plymouth colony, wrote, May not the children of these 02:32:20.760 --> 02:32:26.200 fathers rightly say, Our fathers were Englishmen, which came over this great 02:32:26.200 --> 02:32:28.880 ocean and were ready to perish in this wilderness. 02:32:29.620 --> 02:32:32.740 But they cried unto the Lord, and He heard their voice. 02:32:33.220 --> 02:32:38.140 Let them therefore praise the Lord, because He is good, and His mercies endure 02:32:38.140 --> 02:32:38.660 forever. 02:32:40.500 --> 02:32:45.540 John Winthrop, the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, partly credited 02:32:45.540 --> 02:32:50.100 with founding the city of Boston, said, We shall find that the God of Israel 02:32:50.100 --> 02:32:50.840 is among us. 02:32:50.840 --> 02:32:56.700 For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill, so that if we shall deal 02:32:56.700 --> 02:33:01.720 falsely with our God in this work which we have undertaken, and so cause Him to 02:33:01.720 --> 02:33:06.600 withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword 02:33:06.600 --> 02:33:07.560 through the world. 02:33:09.060 --> 02:33:15.560 The first school built in America was Harvard University in 1636, named after 02:33:15.560 --> 02:33:16.980 the Reverend John Harvard. 02:33:17.380 --> 02:33:21.300 Its original motto was, Truth for Christ and the Church. 02:33:21.920 --> 02:33:26.580 Harvard expected the following of its students, Let every scholar be plainly 02:33:26.580 --> 02:33:31.460 instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well the main end of his life and 02:33:31.460 --> 02:33:36.180 studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life. 02:33:36.740 --> 02:33:42.180 Therefore to lay Christ in the bottom as the only foundation of all sound knowledge 02:33:42.180 --> 02:33:42.820 and learning. 02:33:43.480 --> 02:33:48.300 At Princeton University, the official motto was, under God's power she 02:33:48.300 --> 02:33:48.940 flourishes. 02:33:49.940 --> 02:33:54.800 Princeton's first president, the Reverend Jonathan Dickinson said, Cursed be all 02:33:54.800 --> 02:33:57.720 learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ. 02:33:58.500 --> 02:34:03.620 While at Yale, the university's stated aim was that, All scholars shall live 02:34:03.620 --> 02:34:08.680 religious, godly, and blameless lives according to the rules of God's word, 02:34:09.160 --> 02:34:11.200 diligently reading the holy scriptures. 02:34:11.820 --> 02:34:16.940 Dartmouth, Columbia, William and Mary, and Brown University all had similar 02:34:16.940 --> 02:34:17.820 declarations. 02:34:18.500 --> 02:34:26.020 In fact, 123 of the first 126 colleges formed in America were formed on Christian 02:34:26.020 --> 02:34:26.640 principles. 02:34:27.800 --> 02:34:32.640 America's education system clearly represented the beliefs of some of the 02:34:32.640 --> 02:34:34.280 earliest founders and leaders. 02:34:35.800 --> 02:34:42.560 James Edward Oglethorpe established the colony of Georgia in 1732, in part as a 02:34:42.560 --> 02:34:45.120 refuge for persecuted Protestants from Europe. 02:34:45.740 --> 02:34:49.220 As the first settlers touched the shoreline, they knelt and declared, 02:34:49.660 --> 02:34:55.300 Our end in leaving our native country is not to gain riches and honor, but singly 02:34:55.300 --> 02:34:58.320 this, to live holy for the glory of God. 02:34:58.860 --> 02:35:03.260 William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania wrote, If thou wouldst rule well, 02:35:03.600 --> 02:35:05.160 thou must rule for God. 02:35:05.560 --> 02:35:08.240 And to do that, thou must be ruled by him. 02:35:08.720 --> 02:35:12.740 Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants. 02:35:13.760 --> 02:35:18.280 Jonathan Trumbull, the British governor of Connecticut, who became sympathetic to the 02:35:18.280 --> 02:35:25.320 American cause in 1773 said, If you ask an American who is his master, he will tell 02:35:25.320 --> 02:35:29.080 you he has none, nor any governor but Jesus Christ. 02:35:30.260 --> 02:35:37.000 George Washington, on May 12, 1779, addressed the Delaware Indian chiefs who 02:35:37.000 --> 02:35:40.460 had brought their children to be educated in American schools. 02:35:41.120 --> 02:35:46.260 Washington said to them, You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, 02:35:46.440 --> 02:35:49.760 and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. 02:35:50.000 --> 02:35:54.640 Congress will do everything they can to assist you in this wise intention. 02:35:55.660 --> 02:36:00.940 Twice appointed Secretary of State, Daniel Webster said, If the power of the 02:36:00.940 --> 02:36:05.740 gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and 02:36:05.740 --> 02:36:10.860 misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without 02:36:10.860 --> 02:36:12.380 mitigation or end. 02:36:13.400 --> 02:36:17.880 Noah Webster, whose famous Webster's Dictionary is a legacy to this day, 02:36:18.000 --> 02:36:23.920 said, No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be 02:36:23.920 --> 02:36:29.440 the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free 02:36:29.440 --> 02:36:29.900 people. 02:36:30.280 --> 02:36:35.900 All the miseries and evils which men suffer, from vice, crime, ambition, 02:36:35.900 --> 02:36:42.360 injustice, oppression, slavery and war proceed from their despising or neglecting 02:36:42.360 --> 02:36:44.700 the precepts contained in the Bible. 02:36:45.960 --> 02:36:51.460 Samuel Adams, in the Rights of the Colonists in 1772, wrote, The rights of 02:36:51.460 --> 02:36:56.520 the colonists as Christians may be best understood by reading and carefully 02:36:56.520 --> 02:37:01.480 studying the institution of the great law giver and head of the Christian church, 02:37:01.800 --> 02:37:05.220 which are to be found clearly written in the New Testament. 02:37:05.940 --> 02:37:12.300 At a 4th of July celebration in 1837, President John Quincy Adams asked, 02:37:12.680 --> 02:37:18.040 Why is it that next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and 02:37:18.040 --> 02:37:21.300 most venerated festival returns on this day? 02:37:21.680 --> 02:37:26.520 Is it not that in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is 02:37:26.520 --> 02:37:30.020 indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? 02:37:30.520 --> 02:37:35.860 Is it not that the Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human 02:37:35.860 --> 02:37:39.280 government upon the first precepts of Christianity? 02:37:40.720 --> 02:37:44.440 The Reverend Jedediah Morse, father of Samuel B. 02:37:44.520 --> 02:37:48.760 Morse, who developed the Morse Code, said, To the kindly influence of 02:37:48.760 --> 02:37:54.400 Christianity, we owe that degree of civil freedom and political and social happiness 02:37:54.400 --> 02:37:56.820 which mankind now enjoys. 02:37:57.400 --> 02:38:03.080 In proportion, as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation, 02:38:03.080 --> 02:38:08.640 either through unbelief or the corruption of its doctrines, in the same proportion 02:38:08.640 --> 02:38:14.020 will the people of the nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom and 02:38:14.020 --> 02:38:17.380 approximate the miseries of complete despotism. 02:38:19.940 --> 02:38:25.200 President Andrew Jackson, concerning the Bible, plainly said, That book, 02:38:25.380 --> 02:38:28.560 sir, is the rock upon which our Republic rests. 02:38:31.000 --> 02:38:36.440 In 1831, a Frenchman named Alex de Tocqueville came to America to research 02:38:36.440 --> 02:38:37.940 the American prison system. 02:38:38.400 --> 02:38:42.980 He came to learn why his own country, France, had so many prisons while America 02:38:42.980 --> 02:38:43.880 had so few. 02:38:44.320 --> 02:38:48.780 In his now famous work, Democracy in America, he would later write, 02:38:49.200 --> 02:38:54.280 There is no country in the whole world in which the Christian religion retains a 02:38:54.280 --> 02:38:58.260 greater influence over the souls of men than in America. 02:38:58.980 --> 02:39:04.160 The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately 02:39:04.160 --> 02:39:09.260 in their minds that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the 02:39:09.260 --> 02:39:09.560 other. 02:39:10.220 --> 02:39:15.500 Upon my arrival in the United States, the religious aspect of the country was 02:39:15.500 --> 02:39:17.580 the first thing that struck my attention. 02:39:18.120 --> 02:39:22.740 In France, I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of 02:39:22.740 --> 02:39:26.540 freedom pursuing courses diametrically opposed to each other. 02:39:27.080 --> 02:39:32.340 But in America, I found that they were intimately united and that they reigned in 02:39:32.340 --> 02:39:34.480 common over the same country. 02:39:36.180 --> 02:39:41.460 Yet with so many declarations about the Christian faith, history bears witness of 02:39:41.460 --> 02:39:44.140 what might be called the tears among the wheat. 02:39:45.700 --> 02:39:50.720 Plymouth Governor William Bradford wrote, Marvelous it may be to see and consider 02:39:50.720 --> 02:39:56.440 how some kind of wickedness did grow and break forth here in a land where the same 02:39:56.440 --> 02:39:58.080 was so much witnessed against. 02:39:58.920 --> 02:40:03.840 Bradford writes that in 1628 an early colony gave itself over to pagan 02:40:03.840 --> 02:40:07.820 practices, erecting a maypole, drinking and dancing about it, 02:40:08.100 --> 02:40:13.000 inviting the Indian women for their consorts as if they had anew revived the 02:40:13.000 --> 02:40:15.740 beastly practices of the mad Bacchanalians. 02:40:17.320 --> 02:40:22.880 And of 1642, Bradford writes of the drunkenness and uncleanness, not only 02:40:22.880 --> 02:40:27.580 incontinency between persons unmarried, but some married persons also. 02:40:28.080 --> 02:40:33.360 Even sodomy and buggery, things fearful to name, he says, have broke forth in this 02:40:33.360 --> 02:40:33.800 land. 02:40:35.360 --> 02:40:39.560 Yet immoral behavior was not the only concern for the early colonies. 02:40:40.680 --> 02:40:46.960 In 1637, Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop conducted the trial against Anne 02:40:46.960 --> 02:40:51.940 Marbury Hutchinson, a woman called at that time the American Jezebel. 02:40:52.800 --> 02:40:56.740 Hutchinson held meetings in her home and developed a great following. 02:40:57.240 --> 02:41:01.320 She was accused of having troubled the peace of the commonwealth and of the 02:41:01.320 --> 02:41:01.700 churches. 02:41:02.340 --> 02:41:07.680 Among her controversial teachings was that a man is united to Christ and justified 02:41:07.680 --> 02:41:09.260 without faith. 02:41:09.900 --> 02:41:14.640 At her trial, she claimed her teachings were given to her by immediate revelation. 02:41:15.440 --> 02:41:20.580 Often accused of antinomian or lawless doctrines, she said, as I understand it, 02:41:20.900 --> 02:41:25.960 laws, commands, rules, and edicts are for those who have not the light which makes 02:41:25.960 --> 02:41:27.020 plain the pathway. 02:41:28.360 --> 02:41:33.100 Her former mentor, the Reverend John Cotton, referred to her meetings as a 02:41:33.100 --> 02:41:38.220 promiscuous and filthy coming together of men and women, saying that her opinions 02:41:38.220 --> 02:41:40.840 would eat out the very bowels of religion. 02:41:45.800 --> 02:41:50.540 As Hutchinson's trial neared its end, she said defiantly to her judges, 02:41:51.000 --> 02:41:55.820 If you go on in this course you begin, you will bring a curse upon you and your 02:41:55.820 --> 02:41:59.360 posterity, and the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 02:42:00.440 --> 02:42:04.520 Nevertheless, Hutchinson was found guilty and expelled from the colony. 02:42:05.320 --> 02:42:10.620 Despite her threat, no record exists of any ill befalling Governor John Winthrop 02:42:10.620 --> 02:42:10.820 and his followers. 02:42:10.820 --> 02:42:12.080 And those who expelled her. 02:42:13.560 --> 02:42:17.500 Yet Hutchinson's husband, William, would die four years later. 02:42:18.020 --> 02:42:23.840 And then the following year, in 1643, Anne Hutchinson herself and five of her 02:42:23.840 --> 02:42:26.840 children were savagely killed by warring Indians. 02:42:27.240 --> 02:42:32.940 An event regarded by some in Massachusetts as a manifestation of divine judgment. 02:42:34.320 --> 02:42:40.060 But after her death, Hutchinson retained a following among those who found admiration 02:42:40.060 --> 02:42:42.440 in her example of defiance. 02:42:43.620 --> 02:42:49.560 In 1850, two centuries later, Nathaniel Hawthorne refers to her as the Sainted 02:42:49.560 --> 02:42:54.140 Anne Hutchinson in chapter one of his famous work The Scarlet Letter. 02:42:54.760 --> 02:42:59.420 Some believe that Hawthorne even based the character of Hester Prynne, the adulterous 02:42:59.420 --> 02:43:03.240 woman branded with the Scarlet Letter, on Anne Hutchinson herself. 02:43:04.440 --> 02:43:10.640 While early America recognized Hutchinson as the American Jezebel, she is today 02:43:10.640 --> 02:43:16.080 considered a courageous exponent of civil liberty and religious toleration. 02:43:16.620 --> 02:43:21.800 Some three and a half centuries later, Harvard University's resident preacher and 02:43:21.800 --> 02:43:26.240 professor of Christian morals, Peter Gomes, proudly boasts of her that 02:43:26.240 --> 02:43:32.320 she was quote, deft in theological and legal sparring, intellectually superior to 02:43:32.320 --> 02:43:36.780 her accusers and a woman of conscience who yielded to no authority. 02:43:39.640 --> 02:43:44.540 Commenting on Harvard itself, Gomes actually admits the university was 02:43:44.540 --> 02:43:49.640 originally built to protect future generations from false teachings like 02:43:49.640 --> 02:43:51.060 those of Anne Hutchinson. 02:43:51.740 --> 02:43:57.200 Gomes calls her the inadvertent midwife to a college founded in part to protect 02:43:57.200 --> 02:43:59.020 posterity from her errors. 02:43:59.620 --> 02:44:04.100 Anne Marbury Hutchinson, he says, ironically would be more at home at 02:44:04.100 --> 02:44:06.820 Harvard today than any of her critics. 02:44:08.540 --> 02:44:13.160 This twist in perception seems to symbolize the modern conflict concerning 02:44:13.160 --> 02:44:16.100 America's original intent of the word freedom. 02:44:16.680 --> 02:44:21.560 The early settlers believed it their duty to liberate themselves and mankind from 02:44:21.560 --> 02:44:22.820 the dark age of Europe. 02:44:23.360 --> 02:44:27.940 Can this be the difference between an America that once was and what she would 02:44:27.940 --> 02:44:28.400 become? 02:44:30.420 --> 02:44:35.900 A mysterious passage from Hawthorne's conclusion to his classic novel seems to 02:44:35.900 --> 02:44:37.160 embody the transformation. 02:44:38.020 --> 02:44:42.960 He writes that the scarlet letter ceased to be a stigma which attracted the world's 02:44:42.960 --> 02:44:48.920 scorn and bitterness and became a type of something to be looked upon with awe yet 02:44:48.920 --> 02:44:49.960 with reverence too. 02:44:50.540 --> 02:44:54.360 At some brighter period when the world should have grown ripe for it, 02:44:54.660 --> 02:44:58.380 in heaven's own time a new truth would be revealed. 02:45:22.050 --> 02:45:27.210 I then asked, is this a human being that answers my questions so correctly? 02:45:27.930 --> 02:45:28.990 There was no rap. 02:45:29.650 --> 02:45:31.430 I asked, is it a spirit? 02:45:32.530 --> 02:45:34.150 If it is, make two raps. 02:45:34.910 --> 02:45:37.770 Two sounds were given as soon as the request was made. 02:45:38.610 --> 02:45:42.410 I then asked, and said, if it was an injured spirit, make two raps. 02:45:43.130 --> 02:45:45.770 I asked, were you injured in this house? 02:45:48.550 --> 02:45:54.730 I ascertained by the same method that it was a man, aged 31 years, that he had been 02:45:54.730 --> 02:45:58.390 murdered in this house and his remains were buried in the cellar. 02:46:04.070 --> 02:46:09.890 This account was given by Mrs. Margaret Fox of Hydesville, New York concerning 02:46:09.890 --> 02:46:17.010 events that transpired on March 31st of 1848 and describes the beginning of what 02:46:17.010 --> 02:46:22.790 many consider to be the birth of modern spiritism, the communication with spirits 02:46:22.790 --> 02:46:26.670 of the dead, or beings from the other side of reality. 02:46:27.070 --> 02:46:31.950 While Mrs. Fox recorded the account, her daughters Kate and Margareta, 02:46:32.330 --> 02:46:36.770 pictured here with their sister Leah, were considered the real mediums of this 02:46:36.770 --> 02:46:37.290 encounter. 02:46:37.990 --> 02:46:43.930 The sisters claimed to have contacted a disembodied spirit they called Mr. 02:46:44.070 --> 02:46:44.630 Splitfoot. 02:46:45.910 --> 02:46:50.790 The Fox sisters began a movement that exploded in the 19th century, surrounded 02:46:50.790 --> 02:46:52.170 with much controversy. 02:46:52.750 --> 02:46:57.910 The sisters became rich and famous for a time, even traveling with the likes of P 02:46:57.910 --> 02:46:58.110 .T. 02:46:58.190 --> 02:47:02.330 Barnum, of Barnum and Bailey's Circus, as professional mediums. 02:47:03.210 --> 02:47:08.010 While skepticism and accusations of fraud surrounded them in their lifetime, 02:47:08.490 --> 02:47:15.370 56 years later, on November 22nd, 1904, the Boston Journal would report that 02:47:15.370 --> 02:47:20.610 the skeleton of the man supposed to have caused the rappings first heard by the Fox 02:47:20.610 --> 02:47:26.270 sisters in 1848 had been found in the walls of the house occupied by the sisters 02:47:26.270 --> 02:47:32.250 and clears them from the only shadow of doubt held concerning their sincerity in 02:47:32.250 --> 02:47:34.450 the discovery of spirit communication. 02:47:36.730 --> 02:47:41.270 In the aftermath of the events in Hydesville, Margaretta Fox would 02:47:41.270 --> 02:47:43.090 experience further encounters. 02:47:43.690 --> 02:47:48.370 Using the alphabet to communicate, she obtained the following message from a 02:47:48.370 --> 02:47:53.830 spirit who told her, Dear friends, you must proclaim this truth to the world. 02:47:54.290 --> 02:47:56.390 This is the dawning of a new era. 02:47:57.030 --> 02:47:59.330 You must not try to conceal it any longer. 02:48:00.090 --> 02:48:05.370 When you do your duty, God will protect you and good spirits will watch over you. 02:48:09.010 --> 02:48:14.950 At the site of the Fox cottage at 1510 Hydesville Road, a monument was erected 02:48:14.950 --> 02:48:18.250 that said, The Birthplace of Modern Spiritualism. 02:48:18.650 --> 02:48:23.050 Upon this site stood the Hydesville cottage, the home of the Fox sisters, 02:48:23.530 --> 02:48:27.890 through whose mediumship communication with the spirit world was established. 02:48:28.370 --> 02:48:30.570 March 31st, 1848. 02:48:31.250 --> 02:48:36.130 The monument went on to say There is no death, there are no dead. 02:48:36.550 --> 02:48:39.950 Placed here December 5th, 1927. 02:48:41.670 --> 02:48:46.390 A Masonic obelisk in Rochester, New York further commemorates the event. 02:48:46.990 --> 02:48:51.550 But investigators continue to question exactly what the sisters encountered. 02:48:52.030 --> 02:48:58.590 The mysterious name given to their spirit, Mr. Splitfoot, is considered by some to be 02:48:58.590 --> 02:49:03.270 an old world reference to the adversary of mankind, the devil. 02:49:05.330 --> 02:49:10.690 In the wake of the Fox sisters encounter, a man named Phineas Quimby opened an 02:49:10.690 --> 02:49:15.190 office dedicated to spiritually aided healing in 1859. 02:49:16.090 --> 02:49:20.430 Quimby is considered the father of the New Thought movement, believed to be the 02:49:20.430 --> 02:49:23.330 forerunner of what is today called the New Age. 02:49:23.910 --> 02:49:27.890 Quimby developed a process of healing through altered states of consciousness, 02:49:28.370 --> 02:49:30.730 achieved primarily through hypnosis. 02:49:31.410 --> 02:49:35.410 He believed that a person's illness was the result of their spiritual beliefs. 02:49:35.890 --> 02:49:40.690 Therefore, by getting rid of a person's old belief and introducing them to New 02:49:40.690 --> 02:49:43.810 Thought, he could supposedly heal them. 02:49:44.410 --> 02:49:49.830 His followers write that in treating his patients, Dr. Quimby allowed his mind for 02:49:49.830 --> 02:49:54.990 a while to be passive, and in this way, he was affected by the troubled mind of 02:49:54.990 --> 02:49:58.190 his patient, and so could feel his aches and pains. 02:49:59.310 --> 02:50:04.470 Then, because his spiritual senses were freed from his own beliefs, they were 02:50:04.470 --> 02:50:07.550 acted upon and controlled by a higher intelligence. 02:50:09.810 --> 02:50:14.610 Through what he learned in his sessions, Dr. Quimby began to abandon his 02:50:14.610 --> 02:50:18.710 traditional beliefs in favor of what the higher intelligence revealed. 02:50:19.290 --> 02:50:25.110 The New Thought Magazine reported that Dr. Quimby believed Jesus of Nazareth was the 02:50:25.110 --> 02:50:26.910 one person who taught this science. 02:50:27.210 --> 02:50:32.490 He said, I have no doubt of his being the only true prophet who had ideas entirely 02:50:32.490 --> 02:50:33.770 superior to the world. 02:50:34.370 --> 02:50:39.070 Not that he as a man was any better, but he was the embodiment of a higher 02:50:39.070 --> 02:50:39.550 wisdom. 02:50:45.170 --> 02:50:49.750 One of Quimby's patients was Mary Baker Eddy, who would go on to form the Church 02:50:49.750 --> 02:50:55.550 of Christ Scientist in 1879, based in part upon Quimby's teachings. 02:50:56.010 --> 02:51:00.610 The young Mary Baker imagined Quimby to possess an understanding of God's law, 02:51:00.950 --> 02:51:05.270 and was ready to proclaim him as the discoverer of the true nature of the 02:51:05.270 --> 02:51:07.110 healing done in Bible times. 02:51:07.610 --> 02:51:12.190 Though Eddy would break away from Quimby, she continued his practice of healing by 02:51:12.190 --> 02:51:15.490 correcting the so-called errors of traditional beliefs. 02:51:16.350 --> 02:51:20.670 She claimed that her teachings were based solely upon the Bible, but that the Bible 02:51:20.670 --> 02:51:23.890 was full of mistakes, and she was the one to correct them. 02:51:24.850 --> 02:51:30.170 It is reported that Eddy believed the Bible contained 30,000 errors in the Old 02:51:30.170 --> 02:51:33.350 Testament, and 300,000 in the New Testament. 02:51:34.110 --> 02:51:37.990 When she published her work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, 02:51:38.350 --> 02:51:43.810 she claimed it was the final revelation of God to mankind, and asserted that her work 02:51:43.810 --> 02:51:45.430 was inspired of God. 02:51:46.050 --> 02:51:50.690 The word key in the title of her book is in reference that she is the key to 02:51:50.690 --> 02:51:55.870 unlocking the Bible, which she called a dark book, and that her writings provided 02:51:55.870 --> 02:51:58.990 the key spoken of in Revelation 3-7. 02:51:59.570 --> 02:52:04.030 Therefore, as the key, Eddy sought to explain certain misunderstandings. 02:52:04.470 --> 02:52:08.030 For example, the Bible says, Is any sick among you? 02:52:08.310 --> 02:52:11.950 Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him. 02:52:12.210 --> 02:52:14.910 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick. 02:52:15.650 --> 02:52:20.850 Yet, Eddy is criticized for teaching that prayer for the sick is not what will lead 02:52:20.850 --> 02:52:24.430 to one's healing, only enlightened understanding heals. 02:52:25.190 --> 02:52:29.950 Eddy wrote specifically that the common custom of praying for the recovery of the 02:52:29.950 --> 02:52:34.990 sick finds help in blind belief, whereas help should come from the 02:52:34.990 --> 02:52:36.370 enlightened understanding. 02:52:37.530 --> 02:52:41.210 Among other problems were the issues of sin and death. 02:52:41.650 --> 02:52:45.770 Eddy taught that these things were only illusions, and that a person must overcome 02:52:45.770 --> 02:52:48.370 them by realizing their unreality. 02:52:49.650 --> 02:52:54.690 Meanwhile, the Bible says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, 02:52:54.870 --> 02:52:59.130 and that death passed upon all men, for all have sinned. 02:52:59.430 --> 02:53:04.770 Furthermore, the Scripture says that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, 02:53:04.950 --> 02:53:06.610 and the truth is not in us. 02:53:07.730 --> 02:53:13.010 But Mary Baker Eddy taught that there is no sin, and the belief in sin, 02:53:13.150 --> 02:53:17.670 which has grown terrible in strength and influence, is an unconscious error. 02:53:20.050 --> 02:53:25.210 Concerning the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, she taught that the material blood 02:53:25.210 --> 02:53:30.470 of Jesus was no more efficacious to cleanse from sin when it was shed upon the 02:53:30.470 --> 02:53:35.190 accursed tree than when it was flowing in his veins as he went daily about his 02:53:35.190 --> 02:53:36.170 father's business. 02:53:37.590 --> 02:53:42.370 Eddy next sought to deny death itself by redefining the resurrection of Christ, 02:53:42.590 --> 02:53:46.130 with shadowy language that seems to foretell the new age. 02:53:47.010 --> 02:53:51.930 She said, the final demonstration of the truth which Jesus taught, and for which he 02:53:51.930 --> 02:53:55.510 was crucified, opened a new era for the world. 02:53:55.990 --> 02:54:01.130 The lonely precincts of the tomb gave Jesus a refuge from his foes, a place in 02:54:01.130 --> 02:54:03.770 which to solve the great problem of being. 02:54:04.290 --> 02:54:09.190 His three days work in the sepulcher set the seal of eternity on time. 02:54:09.690 --> 02:54:12.230 He proved life to be deathless. 02:54:15.110 --> 02:54:20.690 Eddy's views concerning Jesus seem to echo the same conclusion wrought as a result of 02:54:20.690 --> 02:54:26.110 the Fox sisters spiritual encounter, the idea that there is no death and there 02:54:26.110 --> 02:54:27.070 are no dead. 02:54:27.730 --> 02:54:32.890 Researcher Gary Hand sums up Eddy's views concerning Jesus, saying she taught that 02:54:32.890 --> 02:54:39.190 Jesus Christ was just a man who overcame death by realizing that it did not exist. 02:54:39.710 --> 02:54:43.490 Therefore he did not rise from the dead because he never died. 02:54:45.210 --> 02:54:50.870 Jesus Christ was not the son of God, did not come from God, but is only an idea 02:54:50.870 --> 02:54:53.230 from the infinite mind, i.e. 02:54:53.410 --> 02:54:54.790 the principle of God. 02:54:57.470 --> 02:55:03.210 Eddy said that Jesus demonstrated the power of Christian science to heal mortal 02:55:03.210 --> 02:55:08.430 minds and bodies, but this power was lost sight of and must again be spiritually 02:55:08.430 --> 02:55:09.290 discerned. 02:55:10.010 --> 02:55:15.050 This desire to generate healing through spiritual means had great momentum in the 02:55:15.050 --> 02:55:15.970 19th century. 02:55:16.610 --> 02:55:21.710 In 1848, supposedly the same day the Fox sisters communicated with the dead, 02:55:22.030 --> 02:55:27.870 a man named Andrew Jackson Davis wrote in his diary saying, About daylight this 02:55:27.870 --> 02:55:33.150 morning a warm breathing passed over my face, and I heard a voice, tender and 02:55:33.150 --> 02:55:36.310 strong, say, Brother, the good work has begun. 02:55:36.810 --> 02:55:39.290 Behold, a living demonstration is born. 02:55:40.810 --> 02:55:46.470 Like Phineas Quimby and later Edgar Cayce in the 20th century, Andrew Jackson Davis 02:55:46.470 --> 02:55:52.110 performed medical diagnosis and healing while in a mesmerized trance-like state, 02:55:52.110 --> 02:55:56.850 making use of what he called the spirit eyes in his forehead. 02:55:57.790 --> 02:56:02.850 He would be known as the John the Baptist of modern spiritualism and the prophet of 02:56:02.850 --> 02:56:03.750 the new revelation. 02:56:07.110 --> 02:56:11.690 In 1844, Davis claimed to be swept away from his home in Poughkeepsie, 02:56:12.090 --> 02:56:16.970 40 miles away to the Catskill Mountains, where he encountered the long-dead spirits 02:56:16.970 --> 02:56:21.910 of the Greek philosopher Galen and the Swedish seer Immanuel Swedenborg. 02:56:21.910 --> 02:56:27.250 Galen gave Davis a magical staff of healing, while Swedenborg promised to 02:56:27.250 --> 02:56:28.690 instruct and guide him. 02:56:29.150 --> 02:56:34.070 Thereafter, Davis considered himself personally guided in his steps by the 02:56:34.070 --> 02:56:34.990 Swedish mystic. 02:56:35.850 --> 02:56:40.770 As a result, Andrew Jackson Davis' teachings were nearly identical to those 02:56:40.770 --> 02:56:41.590 of Swedenborg. 02:56:42.670 --> 02:56:47.990 Swedenborg, sometimes known as the man who talked with angels, was a spiritual medium 02:56:47.990 --> 02:56:54.250 who died in 1771, best known for his unbiblical concepts of heaven and hell. 02:56:54.910 --> 02:56:59.510 In his lifetime, he wrote many books on his experiences, though he said that the 02:56:59.510 --> 02:57:01.310 books were not written by himself. 02:57:01.890 --> 02:57:06.450 Rather, he claimed they were inspired by spirits and angels from the spirit world. 02:57:07.170 --> 02:57:11.550 These spirits repeatedly told Swedenborg of the errors of traditional church 02:57:11.550 --> 02:57:12.070 doctrine. 02:57:12.670 --> 02:57:18.310 As a result, he would argue against the idea of a triune God, and like Mary Baker 02:57:18.310 --> 02:57:23.690 Eddy, vehemently rejected the concept of Christian atonement and original sin. 02:57:24.370 --> 02:57:28.750 Swedenborg's rejection of Christ's atonement on the cross was so extreme that 02:57:28.750 --> 02:57:38.330 he wrote, This I can affirm, that whenever the angels hear anyone say that God 02:57:38.330 --> 02:57:43.450 determined the damnation of the human race, and as an enemy was reconciled by 02:57:43.450 --> 02:57:49.110 his son, they are affected in a manner similar to those who from an uneasiness in 02:57:49.110 --> 02:57:53.990 their bowels and stomach are excited to vomiting, on which occasion they say, 02:57:54.650 --> 02:57:58.470 What can be more insane than to affirm such things to God? 02:58:00.250 --> 02:58:05.170 According to his followers, Swedenborg's teachings declare that there is no such 02:58:05.170 --> 02:58:09.770 thing as eternal punishment, and that those who find themselves in hell after 02:58:09.770 --> 02:58:12.590 death can work their way towards something higher. 02:58:15.490 --> 02:58:20.470 Yet Swedenborg himself warned against the revelations of the very spirits he 02:58:20.470 --> 02:58:21.210 communed with. 02:58:21.470 --> 02:58:24.290 In his miscellaneous theological works he wrote, 02:58:44.170 --> 02:58:49.570 Despite such contradiction, Swedenborg's influence has been great, impacting 02:58:49.570 --> 02:58:53.610 churches and with them the ancient orders of Freemasonry. 02:58:54.330 --> 02:58:58.950 Many Masonic lodges throughout Europe became known as Swedenborgian lodges, 02:58:59.330 --> 02:59:02.950 and the rite of Swedenborg became part of Masonic ritual. 02:59:04.790 --> 02:59:09.990 Today, Emmanuel Swedenborg is hailed as a hero among spiritists and liberal 02:59:09.990 --> 02:59:14.690 Christians, who have even established Swedenborgian churches, such as the Church 02:59:14.690 --> 02:59:17.450 of the New Jerusalem, dedicated to his teachings. 02:59:18.290 --> 02:59:22.170 Perhaps most significant is Swedenborg's example of setting down 02:59:22.170 --> 02:59:27.010 spirit-communicated writings, something that would set a pattern repeated well 02:59:27.010 --> 02:59:32.010 into the 20th century, and practiced by nearly every major leader of what would 02:59:32.010 --> 02:59:33.550 become the New Age movement. 02:59:34.210 --> 02:59:38.930 While Swedenborg channeled many spirits, years after his death, Andrew Jackson 02:59:38.930 --> 02:59:41.050 Davis would claim to channel him. 02:59:41.670 --> 02:59:45.550 Supposedly, whilst in a trance, Davis acted as the medium through whom 02:59:45.550 --> 02:59:50.690 Swedenborg was able to resume his work by dictating various philosophical books, 02:59:51.090 --> 02:59:56.230 in one of which, published in 1847, he predicted the advent of spiritualism. 02:59:58.390 --> 03:00:06.190 From 1845 to 1847, Davis delivered some 157 lectures while in a trance-like state 03:00:06.190 --> 03:00:11.270 in New York City, on scientific, historical, and philosophical topics. 03:00:12.910 --> 03:00:17.970 Reportedly, famed macabre author, Edgar Allan Poe, even attended some of 03:00:17.970 --> 03:00:18.990 Davis' seances. 03:00:19.910 --> 03:00:24.550 In what is considered his greatest work, The Principles of Nature, Her Divine 03:00:24.550 --> 03:00:29.910 Revelations, and Voice to Mankind, Andrew Jackson Davis described a mystic 03:00:29.910 --> 03:00:35.470 view of the cosmos, and of creation, promoting the theology of universalism. 03:00:36.950 --> 03:00:41.910 Some modern spiritists believe Davis' writings shadowed the evolutionary 03:00:41.910 --> 03:00:45.090 thinking that would soon be set down by Charles Darwin. 03:00:46.090 --> 03:00:51.770 Darwin's theory of evolution, perhaps the climax of a movement aimed at establishing 03:00:51.770 --> 03:00:56.970 new thought in the minds of men, would, for many, remove the fear of an 03:00:56.970 --> 03:01:01.650 almighty creator, and widen the gate into the realm of the unknown. 03:01:09.070 --> 03:01:14.350 Through the 19th and 20th centuries, Western culture has been overwhelmed by a 03:01:14.350 --> 03:01:18.850 fascination with spirit communication and paranormal phenomenon. 03:01:19.430 --> 03:01:24.310 Some of the most influential people in the modern era have been influenced themselves 03:01:24.310 --> 03:01:26.970 by New Age spiritism and the occult. 03:01:28.850 --> 03:01:33.670 From Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of Abraham Lincoln, who held seances in the 03:01:33.670 --> 03:01:37.930 White House to communicate with her son, Willie, who had died at a young age, 03:01:38.410 --> 03:01:43.330 to Hillary Rodham Clinton, who supposedly contacted the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt 03:01:43.330 --> 03:01:47.870 with New Age psychic Jean Dixon, Hillary is pictured here submitting 03:01:47.870 --> 03:01:50.950 herself to the power of an American Indian shaman. 03:01:54.450 --> 03:02:00.150 Inventors, heroes, dictators, world leaders, and even American presidents have 03:02:00.150 --> 03:02:04.050 been either influenced by or directly involved with the movement. 03:02:06.110 --> 03:02:10.110 Thomas Edison spent years trying to develop a machine that could communicate 03:02:10.110 --> 03:02:11.790 with spirits of the dead. 03:02:12.230 --> 03:02:17.190 While his efforts were unsuccessful, Edison was convinced that one day such an 03:02:17.190 --> 03:02:18.650 invention would be possible. 03:02:19.290 --> 03:02:24.010 Chester Carlson, the inventor of the now famous Xerox photocopying process, 03:02:24.430 --> 03:02:28.950 reportedly received the inspiration for his invention from the spirit world. 03:02:29.570 --> 03:02:34.430 Carl Gustav Jung, whose teachings on the subconscious mind have had a tremendous 03:02:34.430 --> 03:02:39.070 influence on modern psychology, claimed to be guided by a mysterious 03:02:39.070 --> 03:02:41.050 spirit named Philemon. 03:02:42.910 --> 03:02:47.670 Jung's contemporary, Sigmund Freud, said that it no longer seems possible to 03:02:47.670 --> 03:02:53.110 brush aside the study of so-called occult facts, the real existence of psychic 03:02:53.110 --> 03:02:56.770 forces in which, until now, we did not believe. 03:02:57.970 --> 03:03:03.430 Commenting on his own experiences with powers unknown, Dr. Andrea Puharik wrote, 03:03:03.930 --> 03:03:08.830 I am personally convinced that superior beings from other spaces and other times 03:03:08.830 --> 03:03:12.350 have initiated a renewed dialogue with humanity. 03:03:12.790 --> 03:03:17.690 While I do not doubt their existence, he said, I do not know what their goals 03:03:17.690 --> 03:03:20.030 are with respect to humankind. 03:03:22.530 --> 03:03:27.190 Some argue that the goals of these beings were partly witnessed during the Second 03:03:27.190 --> 03:03:28.010 World War. 03:03:28.570 --> 03:03:33.690 Adolf Hitler was greatly influenced by spiritual forces, an influence that seemed 03:03:33.690 --> 03:03:36.190 to shape his horrific Nazi movement. 03:03:44.500 --> 03:03:49.620 French intellectual Dennis DeRoguemont once described his experience at a Nazi 03:03:49.620 --> 03:03:51.260 rally in 1938. 03:03:52.220 --> 03:03:57.200 DeRoguemont indicated that despite his rigorous attempt to remain detached from 03:03:57.200 --> 03:04:02.560 the spectacle unfolding before him, he was involuntarily drawn into the vortex 03:04:02.560 --> 03:04:06.360 of the crowd's hysterical adulation of Adolf Hitler. 03:04:06.760 --> 03:04:11.060 It was only by dint of a kind of superhuman resolve, said the French 03:04:11.060 --> 03:04:16.020 philosopher, that he was able to regain his equilibrium before the mesmerizing 03:04:16.020 --> 03:04:18.460 presence of Hitler's evil genius. 03:04:24.840 --> 03:04:31.780 DeRoguemont Reportedly, DeRoguemont said of Hitler that some people believe, 03:04:31.980 --> 03:04:36.700 from having experienced in his presence, a feeling of horror and an impression of 03:04:36.700 --> 03:04:41.580 supernatural power, that he is the seat of thrones, dominions and powers, 03:04:41.980 --> 03:04:46.940 by which St. Paul meant those hierarchical spirits which can descend into any 03:04:46.940 --> 03:04:50.360 ordinary mortal and occupy him like a garrison. 03:04:51.940 --> 03:04:57.000 What I am saying would be the cheapest form of romantic nonsense were it not that 03:04:57.000 --> 03:05:02.440 what has been established by this man, or rather through him, is a reality that 03:05:02.440 --> 03:05:04.300 is one of the wonders of the century. 03:05:05.720 --> 03:05:10.660 Hitler's training as a spiritual mystic came through a secret order known as the 03:05:10.660 --> 03:05:13.440 Tool Society, an occult organization. 03:05:13.440 --> 03:05:19.340 Though the cause of such societies may vary, the same occult principles can be 03:05:19.340 --> 03:05:24.440 found in the Brotherhood of the Masonic Orders, whose members have included some 03:05:24.440 --> 03:05:28.000 of the most powerful political leaders of the 20th century. 03:05:32.070 --> 03:05:38.250 To test this argument, consider Hitler's dream of the Superman, alongside this 03:05:38.250 --> 03:05:40.490 quote from Masonic author W. 03:05:40.650 --> 03:05:40.870 L. 03:05:40.990 --> 03:05:44.350 Wilmhurst from his book, The Meaning of Masonry. 03:05:44.350 --> 03:05:51.370 He writes, This, the evolution of man into Superman, was always the purpose of the 03:05:51.370 --> 03:05:54.090 ancient mysteries, the religion of masonry. 03:05:54.650 --> 03:05:58.490 Man, who has sprung from the earth and developed through the lower kingdoms of 03:05:58.490 --> 03:06:04.370 nature, has yet to complete his evolution by becoming a god-like being. 03:06:06.490 --> 03:06:11.670 Wilmhurst provides a clue, revealing that, while the modern spiritist movement is 03:06:11.670 --> 03:06:16.830 often referred to as a new discovery, its origins date back centuries, 03:06:17.430 --> 03:06:23.090 to the subterranean levels of the ancient world, to a time when spirit communication 03:06:23.090 --> 03:06:29.550 was considered commonplace among men, and was at the very heart of the ancient 03:06:29.550 --> 03:06:30.630 mystery religion. 03:06:32.110 --> 03:06:38.330 But with this ancient practice also comes ancient warnings found in the writings of 03:06:38.330 --> 03:06:39.190 the Old Testament. 03:06:40.170 --> 03:06:43.610 Author Dave Hunt comments on the book of Isaiah. 03:06:44.810 --> 03:06:46.230 Isaiah 8, 20. 03:06:46.670 --> 03:06:50.810 Why do you turn to spirits that peep and mutter, these wizards? 03:06:51.090 --> 03:06:52.170 The spirits of the dead. 03:06:52.590 --> 03:06:56.190 I mean, Aunt Jane wasn't too bright when she was alive, but now that she's on the 03:06:56.190 --> 03:06:59.010 other side, she seems to be a fountainhead of wisdom. 03:07:00.070 --> 03:07:01.730 That doesn't make too much sense. 03:07:02.310 --> 03:07:05.150 Where did she get this from, and how do you know you're even talking to Aunt Jane? 03:07:05.710 --> 03:07:09.930 Some of them claim, you know, they've all got their spirit guides or whatever, 03:07:11.910 --> 03:07:16.890 and they don't know who these creatures are that are talking to them and through 03:07:16.890 --> 03:07:17.130 them. 03:07:18.430 --> 03:07:25.930 You go to a psychic, a medium, and for example, Bishop James Pike, 03:07:26.110 --> 03:07:29.510 California Episcopalian Bishop, went to a medium. 03:07:29.630 --> 03:07:33.330 Well, he was, his son had committed suicide, and he was in his son's apartment 03:07:33.330 --> 03:07:35.210 in London. 03:07:35.890 --> 03:07:37.530 And some things would move around. 03:07:37.670 --> 03:07:41.790 He'd come back from being out, and there's some postcards in a certain 03:07:41.790 --> 03:07:45.330 pattern, and with messages and so forth. 03:07:45.450 --> 03:07:50.650 And he began to think that his son, Jim Jr., was trying to communicate with 03:07:50.650 --> 03:07:50.750 him. 03:07:50.830 --> 03:07:55.590 So he went to Anna Twigg, a famous psychic there in London. 03:07:56.210 --> 03:07:56.970 And what do you know? 03:07:57.030 --> 03:08:02.310 She goes into a trance, and, you know, the prophets in the Bible don't go into a 03:08:02.310 --> 03:08:02.850 trance. 03:08:03.290 --> 03:08:06.230 They don't get into an altered state, and then something takes over. 03:08:06.710 --> 03:08:07.910 God speaks to them. 03:08:08.790 --> 03:08:10.030 Never do they do that. 03:08:10.070 --> 03:08:15.490 But anyway, she goes into a trance, and wow, it sounds like his son's voice, 03:08:15.650 --> 03:08:17.290 Jim Jr., speaking through her. 03:08:17.650 --> 03:08:22.230 And he says things that only he and his son would know. 03:08:22.590 --> 03:08:23.950 She couldn't possibly know. 03:08:24.550 --> 03:08:26.470 This has happened multiple times. 03:08:27.110 --> 03:08:29.950 So that convinces him it must really be his son. 03:08:30.650 --> 03:08:32.230 Yeah, but what does his son say? 03:08:32.230 --> 03:08:37.110 You see, we go by what in part, there are many ways of analyzing them, 03:08:37.190 --> 03:08:39.070 but in part we go by what do they say? 03:08:39.690 --> 03:08:44.270 Well, first thing, his son Jim says, Dad, I'm not here for a pleasant 03:08:44.270 --> 03:08:45.370 afternoon's conversation. 03:08:45.510 --> 03:08:46.410 I have a mission now. 03:08:47.550 --> 03:08:49.650 I want you to know that God isn't personal. 03:08:49.790 --> 03:08:50.470 He's a force. 03:08:51.730 --> 03:08:53.210 And Jesus is not the Savior. 03:08:54.090 --> 03:08:57.750 He's just a more highly evolved being than I am. 03:08:57.810 --> 03:08:58.510 I've heard about him. 03:08:58.530 --> 03:09:00.630 I haven't seen him yet, but he's on a higher plane. 03:09:01.670 --> 03:09:02.930 And on and on it goes. 03:09:04.390 --> 03:09:05.430 Spirit survival. 03:09:05.970 --> 03:09:06.190 No. 03:09:06.530 --> 03:09:07.530 Dad, there's no judgment. 03:09:08.670 --> 03:09:09.690 God doesn't judge you. 03:09:09.790 --> 03:09:10.670 You don't face him in judgment. 03:09:10.870 --> 03:09:16.230 We just move into graduate school and we continue to learn our lessons and progress 03:09:16.230 --> 03:09:16.970 and so forth. 03:09:17.230 --> 03:09:20.670 All of the lies undermining what the Bible says. 03:09:20.770 --> 03:09:24.470 But the Bible is the book that has true prophecies. 03:09:24.930 --> 03:09:26.050 No false prophecies. 03:09:26.330 --> 03:09:27.470 You can't escape it. 03:09:27.730 --> 03:09:28.270 It's true. 03:09:28.270 --> 03:09:35.370 So when these entities begin to disagree with the Bible and undermine the Bible, 03:09:35.450 --> 03:09:36.310 I know who they are. 03:09:36.750 --> 03:09:39.870 In fact, I've interviewed people around the world. 03:09:39.990 --> 03:09:41.570 I've been studying this thing for years. 03:09:42.330 --> 03:09:43.830 Whether they're channelers... 03:09:43.830 --> 03:09:45.710 You've got about a thousand of them in Los Angeles. 03:09:45.990 --> 03:09:48.490 I don't know how many they have now. 03:09:48.810 --> 03:09:51.870 Read some of your New Age publications. 03:09:52.850 --> 03:09:59.550 They will admit that what the channelers, what the psychics, what the mediums say, 03:09:59.750 --> 03:10:03.190 all over the world, who've never been in touch with one another, there's a 03:10:03.190 --> 03:10:04.390 continuity to it. 03:10:05.230 --> 03:10:09.510 There's an amazing similarity. 03:10:09.730 --> 03:10:14.910 Not just a similarity, but it's really coming from the same source obviously. 03:10:15.930 --> 03:10:24.170 And there's a definite philosophy that is presented that conforms to the four lies 03:10:24.170 --> 03:10:27.450 that the serpent introduced to even the Garden of Eden. 03:10:29.430 --> 03:10:31.450 That God is not personal, but a force. 03:10:31.550 --> 03:10:32.510 That you don't die. 03:10:33.090 --> 03:10:33.850 There's no death. 03:10:33.930 --> 03:10:34.870 You just get recycled. 03:10:36.050 --> 03:10:36.490 Reincarnation. 03:10:37.270 --> 03:10:38.910 And we're moving upward. 03:10:39.110 --> 03:10:41.150 We're evolving upward to godhood. 03:10:41.750 --> 03:10:43.150 You can become a god. 03:10:43.270 --> 03:10:44.390 That's the lie of the serpent. 03:10:45.050 --> 03:10:46.970 And the fourth one, nothing wrong with you. 03:10:47.010 --> 03:10:47.730 It's the way you think. 03:10:47.790 --> 03:10:51.630 You need to be initiated into this knowledge, the tree of knowledge. 03:10:51.630 --> 03:10:55.490 The dark and light side, you know, the Star Wars force and so forth. 03:10:55.630 --> 03:10:57.330 They all say that. 03:10:58.670 --> 03:10:59.870 It's consistent. 03:11:00.570 --> 03:11:02.250 Well, that tells me who's behind it. 03:11:02.550 --> 03:11:07.450 This is the same thing that Satan said through the serpent to Eve in the Garden. 03:11:07.850 --> 03:11:11.810 So, I don't regard these people with any respect. 03:11:12.750 --> 03:11:18.350 Unfortunately, and some of them may be sincere, they have sold out to Satan 03:11:18.350 --> 03:11:21.530 because they've rejected the true God, they've rejected the Word of God. 03:11:22.130 --> 03:11:26.270 I mean, when I consider what the Bible tells me, and the prophecies it gives me, 03:11:26.710 --> 03:11:31.470 and the proof, for example, that Jesus is the Messiah, all that it says, 03:11:32.470 --> 03:11:36.650 centuries, thousands of years, in fact, some of them, before he came, 03:11:37.130 --> 03:11:40.810 where he would be born, even the day he would ride into Jerusalem and so forth. 03:11:41.170 --> 03:11:42.590 I mean, you cannot escape it. 03:11:42.630 --> 03:11:43.370 This is the truth. 03:11:43.770 --> 03:11:49.790 Now, anybody who then turns from this book, and we've got some sincere people 03:11:49.790 --> 03:11:54.630 that I think may be real Christians in the charismatic world, and I'm not against 03:11:55.770 --> 03:11:57.890 someone believing in the power of the Holy Spirit. 03:11:58.450 --> 03:12:00.110 But the Bible's not enough for them. 03:12:00.750 --> 03:12:05.890 You know, if God would only give them orders every morning in neon sign across 03:12:05.890 --> 03:12:10.010 the sky, or if they could hear a voice, you know, and some of these people, 03:12:10.130 --> 03:12:12.310 I'd talk to them, and they'd say, Oh, Dave, let me tell you what the Lord 03:12:12.310 --> 03:12:13.410 just told me about you. 03:12:13.530 --> 03:12:13.930 Really? 03:12:14.570 --> 03:12:15.890 Well, the Lord hasn't told me. 03:12:15.890 --> 03:12:18.170 And I'll check you out against the Bible. 03:12:18.350 --> 03:12:22.450 And I'm not interested, but you say, why do people get involved in this? 03:12:22.630 --> 03:12:23.710 They want to know the future. 03:12:24.650 --> 03:12:27.690 They want to know what's going to happen to them. 03:12:28.110 --> 03:12:30.530 I mean, if you knew what was going to happen to you, what would you do? 03:12:33.470 --> 03:12:34.590 You're going to have a wreck? 03:12:34.690 --> 03:12:36.630 Are you going to try to avoid that street? 03:12:37.010 --> 03:12:38.990 I mean, it just doesn't work. 03:12:39.030 --> 03:12:39.990 It doesn't make sense. 03:12:40.290 --> 03:12:45.990 But they want somehow to get some power, some control over their lives, 03:12:46.130 --> 03:12:47.750 and they're very curious. 03:12:48.290 --> 03:12:48.970 What's going to happen? 03:12:49.070 --> 03:12:52.410 Well, they're going to the wrong source to find out what's going to happen. 03:12:52.850 --> 03:12:54.630 And it has brought disaster. 03:12:55.450 --> 03:12:56.830 I've written books about it. 03:12:57.270 --> 03:12:59.850 Brought disaster into many lives. 03:13:07.070 --> 03:13:12.070 Spirit channelers and mediums from all walks of life claim contact with the 03:13:12.070 --> 03:13:12.750 spirit realm. 03:13:13.950 --> 03:13:19.670 The purpose of this contact supposedly is to teach mankind to achieve a higher state 03:13:19.670 --> 03:13:22.370 of consciousness through the knowledge they present. 03:13:23.730 --> 03:13:26.430 A classic example is J.Z. 03:13:26.590 --> 03:13:31.270 Knight, a highly successful spirit channeler who channels a spirit calling 03:13:31.270 --> 03:13:32.450 itself Ramtha. 03:13:34.010 --> 03:13:39.510 Ramtha's school of enlightenment claims to reach some 60 cities in 26 countries 03:13:39.510 --> 03:13:40.650 around the world. 03:13:42.130 --> 03:13:47.350 In this interview, shot in 1998, Knight explains how she came in contact 03:13:47.350 --> 03:13:48.830 with her guiding spirit. 03:13:49.210 --> 03:13:51.330 This was like an angel in my kitchen. 03:13:52.650 --> 03:13:54.670 You don't have time to react. 03:13:54.830 --> 03:13:59.530 You don't have time to rationalize this in your life. 03:13:59.970 --> 03:14:01.510 This is happening in your little kitchen. 03:14:02.610 --> 03:14:04.770 I just blurted out, you're so beautiful. 03:14:04.910 --> 03:14:05.690 Who are you? 03:14:06.830 --> 03:14:07.770 And he smiled. 03:14:08.310 --> 03:14:11.330 This beautiful smile lit up the whole room. 03:14:11.410 --> 03:14:15.710 And he said, I am Ramtha, the enlightened one, and I've come to help you over the 03:14:15.710 --> 03:14:16.110 ditch. 03:14:16.750 --> 03:14:24.210 And I looked back up at him and he said, beloved daughter, he said, I have come to 03:14:24.210 --> 03:14:25.810 make you a light to the world. 03:14:26.950 --> 03:14:30.650 Equipped with a bad British accent, something that seems common among 03:14:30.650 --> 03:14:34.870 channelers, Knight gives herself over to the spirit of Ramtha. 03:14:34.870 --> 03:14:38.530 I am Ramtha, the enlightened one. 03:14:38.750 --> 03:14:46.390 I am 35,362, 1 and 37 seconds years old. 03:14:46.610 --> 03:14:52.110 I was born in that which is termed a great and marvelous place called Moria, 03:14:52.630 --> 03:14:58.750 and my destiny here is to teach you that which you desire to know, and to let you 03:14:58.750 --> 03:15:03.810 know that every word that I say I will manifest for you in your life. 03:15:04.070 --> 03:15:08.050 Incredibly, throughout the interview, Ramtha and Knight repeat the central 03:15:08.050 --> 03:15:13.190 themes of the New Age movement over and over, insisting that there is no death, 03:15:13.530 --> 03:15:19.030 and that man himself is a god, his only task being to realize his self 03:15:19.030 --> 03:15:19.710 empowerment. 03:15:20.710 --> 03:15:22.210 So I must become the teacher. 03:15:23.190 --> 03:15:28.370 I must plant in your mind outrageous concepts. 03:15:29.010 --> 03:15:33.870 Here, Knight denies that Ramtha is a demon, but believes he was a man who has 03:15:33.870 --> 03:15:37.310 achieved divine status due to knowledge and experience. 03:15:38.670 --> 03:15:41.590 He's not a devil. 03:15:42.110 --> 03:15:43.370 He's not a demon. 03:15:44.350 --> 03:15:45.590 He's not a guru. 03:15:47.850 --> 03:15:48.890 He's a god. 03:15:49.270 --> 03:15:51.070 I am a teacher and a god. 03:15:51.990 --> 03:15:56.770 I'm a god because I experienced all of these things. 03:15:57.450 --> 03:16:02.230 And I am a teacher, not of truth, but of philosophy. 03:16:02.710 --> 03:16:07.070 Ramtha insists that his teaching is simple, to get people to realize the great 03:16:07.070 --> 03:16:11.110 intelligence within themselves, and that they can do no wrong. 03:16:11.370 --> 03:16:12.790 It's really simple. 03:16:14.070 --> 03:16:21.290 First you have to acknowledge that you are the great intelligence that lives in you. 03:16:22.430 --> 03:16:24.870 And your body is an extension of that intelligence. 03:16:26.590 --> 03:16:28.750 And there is no good and bad in God. 03:16:29.210 --> 03:16:30.130 That's impossible. 03:16:30.790 --> 03:16:35.330 As if echoing the voice of the serpent, Knight now directs the listener to the 03:16:35.330 --> 03:16:37.230 path of sacred knowledge. 03:16:37.990 --> 03:16:39.690 We deserve to know the truth. 03:16:40.130 --> 03:16:45.130 And those who ask are going to be given everything, going to be given all the 03:16:45.130 --> 03:16:45.910 sacred knowledge. 03:16:46.690 --> 03:16:50.550 We are not given but one lifetime to prove what we know. 03:16:50.750 --> 03:16:51.930 This is not a test. 03:16:52.330 --> 03:16:53.590 It is an opportunity. 03:16:54.410 --> 03:16:59.210 Ramtha propagates the new age lie that man has many opportunities to get it right, 03:16:59.550 --> 03:17:01.670 through reincarnation and evolution. 03:17:01.830 --> 03:17:09.110 I would say that I'm relatively young to many of you who I've been reincarnating 03:17:09.110 --> 03:17:15.670 and slowly evolving to ask the great questions, the great mysteries, 03:17:16.370 --> 03:17:18.550 to have them revealed here. 03:17:19.370 --> 03:17:23.710 My daughter is here simply to say, you're an immortal. 03:17:24.670 --> 03:17:32.490 You are wearing this body as if you wore a garment of silk or a garment of roughly 03:17:32.490 --> 03:17:33.730 hewn wool. 03:17:35.050 --> 03:17:39.770 You are here simply to wear the garment and to live the experience, but you have 03:17:39.770 --> 03:17:41.730 never died and never will. 03:17:41.950 --> 03:17:44.510 That is not in the plan of God. 03:17:45.230 --> 03:17:50.510 Next, Knight and Ramtha deny that God is a person, but insist He is a natural life 03:17:50.510 --> 03:17:52.430 force that exists in everyone. 03:17:53.170 --> 03:17:55.930 He saw what God really is. 03:17:56.150 --> 03:17:57.390 God is not a being. 03:17:57.990 --> 03:17:59.350 It is life itself. 03:17:59.610 --> 03:18:01.350 It's the will of life. 03:18:01.650 --> 03:18:02.710 And it's in everything. 03:18:04.030 --> 03:18:05.970 You want to help people? 03:18:06.730 --> 03:18:08.730 And you have to live your light. 03:18:09.270 --> 03:18:14.750 And you have to be proud that you accept if God lives, He's in me. 03:18:15.710 --> 03:18:18.290 And you are a righteous man for saying so. 03:18:18.290 --> 03:18:21.270 Because if He lives in you, then He lives in everyone. 03:18:22.370 --> 03:18:25.650 Why cannot everyone share such a treasure? 03:18:26.290 --> 03:18:28.510 I love his message, Behold God. 03:18:29.450 --> 03:18:33.010 I love it that he says to us that we are divine. 03:18:33.750 --> 03:18:40.190 The journey of awakening is not through a Redeemer, but when we realize we are our 03:18:40.190 --> 03:18:40.990 own Redeemer. 03:18:41.610 --> 03:18:43.090 It is a lie. 03:18:43.490 --> 03:18:44.610 It is a lie. 03:18:46.150 --> 03:18:48.630 What the fanatics tell you. 03:18:49.330 --> 03:18:53.490 As with the rest of the movement, rejecting the gospel of Jesus Christ and 03:18:53.490 --> 03:18:56.470 the teaching of the Church is essential to the message. 03:18:56.910 --> 03:19:04.870 As long as we think that some channel, some channeled entity, some Christ, 03:19:05.770 --> 03:19:15.270 some priest, some preacher, some deity, some prophet is our Redeemer, that excuses 03:19:15.270 --> 03:19:17.750 us from living life, we have missed the message. 03:19:18.350 --> 03:19:24.330 Why don't we learn to think on our own and find new benefactors for that greatness? 03:19:25.910 --> 03:19:33.590 Genius, you know, is that which is not mediocrity, is not predictable, 03:19:35.010 --> 03:19:38.490 is not funded, is not hired. 03:19:39.770 --> 03:19:44.530 It is that which can dream beyond the paradigms. 03:19:45.070 --> 03:19:46.570 You have the ability to be a genius. 03:19:47.370 --> 03:19:51.990 And did you know that every dream that you dream should never be put aside as 03:19:51.990 --> 03:19:52.470 imagination? 03:19:53.410 --> 03:19:56.190 That every dream is the next step of your evolution. 03:19:57.110 --> 03:19:58.430 And Romthe gives us permission. 03:19:58.610 --> 03:20:00.050 He first says, you are God. 03:20:00.130 --> 03:20:01.890 Now let's get about learning how to be that. 03:20:03.830 --> 03:20:05.790 Religion is no longer sacred. 03:20:06.270 --> 03:20:08.810 Everyone questions the Church. 03:20:08.810 --> 03:20:09.890 They should. 03:20:11.910 --> 03:20:14.410 Everyone questions the meaning of life. 03:20:14.630 --> 03:20:20.130 And everyone questions the direction that science has taken. 03:20:21.130 --> 03:20:24.110 And when you do that, it is an age of enlightenment. 03:20:25.550 --> 03:20:26.810 We cannot have... 03:20:27.550 --> 03:20:33.250 Enlightenment does not come on the heels of the Black Plague. 03:20:34.570 --> 03:20:36.210 No, that is not enlightenment. 03:20:37.770 --> 03:20:41.130 Enlightenment comes on the heels of plenty. 03:20:42.030 --> 03:20:46.890 Because only when you are gluttonous to everything, and you question everything, 03:20:47.450 --> 03:20:50.570 are you right to know what you have never known. 03:20:51.150 --> 03:20:56.550 So forget about the past, and live today on the wisdom, the virtue of what you've 03:20:56.550 --> 03:20:56.870 gained. 03:20:57.630 --> 03:20:59.810 You don't have to feel guilty about your life anymore. 03:21:00.850 --> 03:21:04.970 I would love someone to stand up and say, God doesn't live outside of you. 03:21:05.990 --> 03:21:06.770 God is you. 03:21:34.010 --> 03:21:38.650 is entirely consistent with the purpose of the New Thought, New Age movement. 03:21:38.890 --> 03:21:41.170 To change the thinking of mankind. 03:21:42.790 --> 03:21:46.550 Tonight, we're going to show you some film that may change the way you think about 03:21:46.550 --> 03:21:47.070 life. 03:21:47.290 --> 03:21:49.230 Change the way you think about life. 03:21:49.510 --> 03:21:53.650 Next, we are introduced to a woman who channels the spirit, calling itself, 03:21:53.890 --> 03:21:54.210 Lea. 03:22:06.260 --> 03:22:08.000 Hello, Philip, how are you today? 03:22:08.500 --> 03:22:09.180 Very good, Lea. 03:22:09.280 --> 03:22:09.680 How are you? 03:22:10.060 --> 03:22:11.440 Very fine, thank you. 03:22:12.060 --> 03:22:14.860 So, what is it that you wanted to know? 03:22:15.840 --> 03:22:16.520 Where are you from? 03:22:16.660 --> 03:22:17.520 I'm from Venus. 03:22:18.300 --> 03:22:22.020 I don't think anybody is going to believe that you or anybody else could be from 03:22:22.020 --> 03:22:22.320 Venus. 03:22:22.540 --> 03:22:26.500 Could you explain to us how you could be when everybody knows it's uninhabitable? 03:22:27.000 --> 03:22:33.000 They think it's uninhabitable because it is not inhabitable by physical life forms. 03:22:33.700 --> 03:22:35.340 We have bodies of light. 03:22:35.880 --> 03:22:40.820 While Lea rambles on with fantastical ideas, she soon compels the audience 03:22:40.820 --> 03:22:45.340 toward global unity, a message found throughout the New Age movement. 03:22:45.860 --> 03:22:52.200 And what occurs here on this planet will affect the rest of the universe. 03:22:53.620 --> 03:22:59.800 Can you, with all of your different ideas, all of your different races, come together 03:22:59.800 --> 03:23:02.020 as one planet and one people? 03:23:02.760 --> 03:23:08.960 We have dedicated millennia upon millennia to this idea. 03:23:10.260 --> 03:23:18.380 The earlier experiments with Pan and Lemuria and Atlantis were not successful. 03:23:20.440 --> 03:23:22.120 But this one will be. 03:23:23.400 --> 03:23:28.080 Now the interviewer asks the woman to exchange spirits and to channel another 03:23:28.080 --> 03:23:30.440 spirit that calls itself the Tibetan. 03:23:35.140 --> 03:23:39.100 Tibet is an often referred to hotspot for New Age empowerment. 03:23:40.100 --> 03:23:44.500 Hitler's Nazi occultists went to Tibet thinking to find their ancient Aryan 03:23:44.500 --> 03:23:45.120 ancestors. 03:23:47.180 --> 03:23:52.060 Listen carefully to the Tibetan's message as he refers to the great I Am. 03:23:52.400 --> 03:23:55.760 The name God reveals in the Bible to describe himself. 03:23:56.780 --> 03:24:02.060 I am the Tibetan and I have come during this time continuum to discuss with you 03:24:02.060 --> 03:24:06.840 the idea of the only question in the universe. 03:24:07.700 --> 03:24:10.320 And that question is, what is? 03:24:10.940 --> 03:24:14.360 And the answer is I am. 03:24:15.220 --> 03:24:20.540 For all things that are created, that were created, that shall be created 03:24:21.500 --> 03:24:24.860 fall under the question, what is? 03:24:25.440 --> 03:24:32.440 And you each and every one of you are that answer and that answer is I am. 03:24:33.380 --> 03:24:39.380 I am is also the name of the creator of this universe. 03:24:40.580 --> 03:24:41.960 That is all. 03:24:42.620 --> 03:24:45.960 I relinquish control to the entity, Leah. 03:24:47.560 --> 03:24:53.480 As the entity Leah returns, she confirms the You Are God message and refers to the 03:24:53.480 --> 03:24:56.420 new race that will arise through the New Age movement. 03:24:57.360 --> 03:25:03.020 Most New Agers today do not realize that this new race is identical to the master 03:25:03.020 --> 03:25:05.340 race prophesied by Adolf Hitler. 03:25:05.600 --> 03:25:11.440 A race of so-called supermen who will be their own gods having rejected the one 03:25:11.440 --> 03:25:12.960 true God of the Bible. 03:25:13.620 --> 03:25:24.440 This new age is where there will be a race on this planet and throughout all 03:25:24.440 --> 03:25:24.980 galaxies. 03:25:26.420 --> 03:25:28.900 And the name of that race will be peace. 03:25:30.240 --> 03:25:32.960 It's been wonderful spending some time with you. 03:25:34.520 --> 03:25:40.620 As you take this little piece of information with you, know that you are 03:25:40.620 --> 03:25:41.360 never alone. 03:25:42.520 --> 03:25:46.860 You are all connected to the creative source of this universe. 03:25:48.300 --> 03:25:54.440 And nothing can stop that flow except your denial that you are God. 03:25:55.360 --> 03:25:56.440 We thank you. 03:25:56.440 --> 03:25:57.580 Good day. 03:25:59.640 --> 03:26:04.640 This man channels a spirit calling itself Bashar who seems to hold his audience 03:26:04.640 --> 03:26:09.220 spellbound as he tells them they are equal to the creator of the universe. 03:26:09.900 --> 03:26:15.580 That you are all made in the image of the infinite creator and what that means is 03:26:15.580 --> 03:26:17.720 you are all infinite creators. 03:26:18.080 --> 03:26:18.640 We thank you. 03:26:19.800 --> 03:26:24.180 Jack Purcell has become one of the more popular channels possessed by a spirit 03:26:24.180 --> 03:26:25.360 named Lazarus. 03:26:27.280 --> 03:26:28.500 Oh, right, fine. 03:26:28.740 --> 03:26:31.040 Well, indeed, a pleasure to be talking with you. 03:26:32.300 --> 03:26:34.660 Shall we begin where you'd like to begin? 03:26:35.180 --> 03:26:40.160 Lazarus tells the listener that God is already within man and that if man wants 03:26:40.160 --> 03:26:43.280 to find God, he needs only to find himself. 03:26:44.020 --> 03:26:47.480 Now, the problem here is people look out there they're looking all over the place 03:26:47.480 --> 03:26:49.520 as though God was somehow outside of them. 03:26:49.580 --> 03:26:49.980 It's within. 03:26:50.540 --> 03:26:55.060 Every spiritual reference, be it fundamental or be it avant-garde speaks of 03:26:55.060 --> 03:26:55.880 that spirit within. 03:26:56.360 --> 03:26:57.980 And we would suggest here that it's there. 03:26:58.480 --> 03:27:01.760 And therefore your task in this physical lifetime really isn't to find God because 03:27:01.760 --> 03:27:02.380 God's everywhere. 03:27:02.780 --> 03:27:03.880 God, God is all that is. 03:27:03.920 --> 03:27:04.580 He's everything. 03:27:04.880 --> 03:27:05.900 It's all over the place. 03:27:06.420 --> 03:27:09.760 Your task in any physical incarnation is to find yourself. 03:27:10.780 --> 03:27:15.500 Jane Roberts was a New Age pioneer who channeled a spirit known as Seth. 03:27:16.100 --> 03:27:19.640 Roberts sold more than a million copies of her books and inspired many. 03:27:19.640 --> 03:27:24.020 In this vocal recording, we hear her channel the spirit of Seth. 03:27:49.640 --> 03:27:59.460 ...the greatness that is within each of you and not cower and not say in this 03:27:59.460 --> 03:28:09.640 realm of reality it is not possible but encounter the greatness within 03:28:10.740 --> 03:28:11.780 yourselves... 03:28:11.780 --> 03:28:20.860 Clearly the main message that Seth is trying to say is that people are gods in 03:28:20.860 --> 03:28:21.340 training. 03:28:21.900 --> 03:28:27.400 Some may find it interesting that the name Seth is synonymous with the Egyptian god 03:28:27.400 --> 03:28:28.060 Set. 03:28:28.480 --> 03:28:33.720 And in the realm of the occult, Set is one of the infernal names of Satan. 03:28:37.500 --> 03:28:42.000 Actress Shirley MacLaine was Time Magazine's poster girl for the New Age 03:28:42.000 --> 03:28:43.680 movement in the 1980's. 03:28:44.200 --> 03:28:48.400 MacLaine starred in the biographical miniseries, Out on a Limb, based on her 03:28:48.400 --> 03:28:50.060 journey into New Age belief. 03:28:50.600 --> 03:28:55.300 The series has been called the most talked about miniseries of all time. 03:28:55.940 --> 03:29:01.100 The title, Out on a Limb, refers to the risk involved in seeking the fruit of the 03:29:01.100 --> 03:29:01.900 Tree of Knowledge. 03:29:02.080 --> 03:29:05.020 Mayan told me to tell you one thing if you had a hard time with this. 03:29:07.140 --> 03:29:10.280 She said in order to get to the fruit of the tree, you have to go out on a limb. 03:29:10.940 --> 03:29:15.980 Mayan is a spirit guide sending a message to MacLaine, a message that is repeated 03:29:15.980 --> 03:29:17.040 throughout the series. 03:29:18.040 --> 03:29:23.160 In this scene, MacLaine and her New Age mentor declare themselves to be God. 03:29:24.300 --> 03:29:25.600 I am God. 03:29:33.630 --> 03:29:34.850 I am God. 03:29:35.370 --> 03:29:36.610 I am God. 03:29:38.730 --> 03:29:39.950 I am God. 03:29:41.170 --> 03:29:42.670 I am God. 03:29:43.290 --> 03:29:44.790 I am God. 03:29:44.970 --> 03:29:45.930 I am God. 03:29:45.930 --> 03:29:46.270 I am God. 03:29:46.570 --> 03:29:47.970 I am God. 03:29:47.970 --> 03:29:49.650 I am God. 03:29:50.070 --> 03:29:51.510 I am God. 03:29:54.300 --> 03:29:59.700 Author and filmmaker, Carol Matriciana, exposed the God men of India's Hindu 03:29:59.700 --> 03:30:04.540 religion in the documentary named after her book, Gods of the New Age, 03:30:04.760 --> 03:30:10.180 where even the most unlikely Western disciples praised mere men as Gods. 03:30:10.780 --> 03:30:14.700 If anyone could be near their beloved master and witness the love, the 03:30:14.700 --> 03:30:20.180 compassion, the humility, the grace, the generosity, no one in his right mind 03:30:20.180 --> 03:30:24.420 would not know that this is a walking, talking, living God on Earth. 03:30:24.880 --> 03:30:27.900 Now the one thing with the New Age, which is very interesting, you see, 03:30:27.980 --> 03:30:32.400 if we start going on to a concept of that is any one group more important than the 03:30:32.400 --> 03:30:33.340 other, no it isn't. 03:30:33.700 --> 03:30:39.900 Two decades ago, when I made the film Gods of the New Age, the New Age directory had 03:30:39.900 --> 03:30:45.360 over 10,000 networking organizations that were all working together. 03:30:45.360 --> 03:30:49.740 And if any one of them became an embarrassment to them, as Jim Jones, 03:30:50.220 --> 03:30:54.660 who was of the People's Temple, who killed, who had hundreds of his 03:30:54.660 --> 03:31:00.180 followers commit suicide, he was part of this New Age directory, working towards a 03:31:00.180 --> 03:31:04.660 super race and trying to work through becoming better through human potential 03:31:05.940 --> 03:31:07.300 techniques, etc, etc. 03:31:07.920 --> 03:31:14.180 But when he was an embarrassment, he was, in a sense, removed out of this 03:31:14.180 --> 03:31:17.200 whole concept of New Age networking. 03:31:17.480 --> 03:31:21.340 Jim Jones, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, 03:31:21.700 --> 03:31:24.720 was in fact seduced by the lie of the serpent. 03:31:25.480 --> 03:31:27.280 I'm a god and you're a god. 03:31:28.140 --> 03:31:32.640 And I'm a god and I'm gonna stay a god until you recognize that you're a god and 03:31:32.640 --> 03:31:36.780 when you recognize you're a god, I shall go back into principle and will 03:31:36.780 --> 03:31:38.100 not appear as a personality. 03:31:39.140 --> 03:31:44.120 But until I see all of you knowing who you are, I'm gonna be very much what I am. 03:31:44.340 --> 03:31:45.980 God almighty God! 03:31:47.760 --> 03:31:52.040 David Koresh, leader of the Branch Davidian movement, whose followers were 03:31:52.040 --> 03:31:57.760 tragically killed in a fiery blaze in Waco, Texas, was likewise led astray by 03:31:57.760 --> 03:31:58.760 Satan's delusion. 03:31:59.640 --> 03:32:00.640 I'm God. 03:32:01.020 --> 03:32:02.020 I'm God. 03:32:06.730 --> 03:32:10.870 Great concern has been expressed by researchers who have witnessed this 03:32:10.870 --> 03:32:15.570 doctrine creeping into professing Christian churches among teachers like 03:32:15.570 --> 03:32:16.550 Kenneth Copeland. 03:32:17.150 --> 03:32:17.990 Copeland has said, 03:32:26.850 --> 03:32:31.970 Listen now as Copeland compares himself to the I am of the Bible. 03:32:32.510 --> 03:32:36.970 When I read in the Bible where he says I am, I just smile and say yes, I am too. 03:32:37.890 --> 03:32:43.950 In a conversation with Copeland, TBN founder Paul Crouch espouses the same 03:32:43.950 --> 03:32:44.450 doctrine. 03:32:45.010 --> 03:32:46.850 You know what else has settled in tonight? 03:32:47.630 --> 03:32:54.430 This hue and cry and controversy that has been spawned by the devil to try and bring 03:32:54.430 --> 03:32:57.530 dissension within the body of Christ, that we're gods. 03:32:58.230 --> 03:32:59.490 I am a little god. 03:32:59.690 --> 03:32:59.950 Yes. 03:33:01.070 --> 03:33:01.450 Yes. 03:33:01.830 --> 03:33:02.750 I have his name. 03:33:03.110 --> 03:33:03.950 I'm one with him. 03:33:04.350 --> 03:33:05.490 I'm in covenant relationship. 03:33:05.590 --> 03:33:07.550 I am a little god. 03:33:08.250 --> 03:33:13.010 You are a little god, declare Copeland and Benny Hinn on TBN. 03:33:13.610 --> 03:33:18.970 I am a little god, exalts Paul Crouch on international television, and condemns to 03:33:18.970 --> 03:33:22.930 hell the heresy hunters who say this teaching isn't biblical. 03:33:23.290 --> 03:33:24.610 Get out of God's way. 03:33:24.710 --> 03:33:28.630 Quit blocking God's bridges, for God's gonna shoot you if I don't. 03:33:31.750 --> 03:33:35.950 But the servant's lie seems to have no denominational boundaries. 03:33:36.530 --> 03:33:42.270 The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that the Son of God became man so that we 03:33:42.270 --> 03:33:43.530 might become God. 03:33:44.030 --> 03:33:48.410 The only begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, 03:33:48.910 --> 03:33:53.490 assumed our nature, so that he might make men gods. 03:33:55.310 --> 03:34:02.110 Pope John Paul II has said man is called to cooperate with God in his salvation and 03:34:02.110 --> 03:34:03.110 divinization. 03:34:03.650 --> 03:34:06.850 The divinization of man comes from God. 03:34:09.510 --> 03:34:12.730 The Mormon Church is no stranger to this doctrine. 03:34:13.290 --> 03:34:16.070 Latter-day Mormon prophet Spencer W. 03:34:16.190 --> 03:34:21.190 Kimball has said in each of us is the potentiality to become a God. 03:34:21.710 --> 03:34:23.390 Man can transform himself. 03:34:23.850 --> 03:34:27.370 He has in him the seeds of Godhood that can grow. 03:34:29.310 --> 03:34:34.970 Perhaps most chilling of all is this quote from Colonel Michael Aquino, former member 03:34:34.970 --> 03:34:40.370 of the Church of Satan, who began his own satanic church called the Temple of Set. 03:34:40.830 --> 03:34:45.870 Aquino declared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, we are not servants of some God, 03:34:46.230 --> 03:34:48.090 we are our own gods. 03:34:50.010 --> 03:34:55.350 In his book, The Fellowship, New Age Adherent, Brad Steiger writes that many 03:34:55.350 --> 03:34:59.870 are convinced that the Aquarian Age is heralding in a new religion. 03:35:00.190 --> 03:35:04.770 Even the word religion will not be used anymore for the main crux of the matter 03:35:04.770 --> 03:35:07.350 will have a much deeper sense of reality. 03:35:08.150 --> 03:35:13.150 The person will evolve out of believing in something into becoming something. 03:35:13.610 --> 03:35:18.290 The person will know what the religions of the ancient age have always tried to 03:35:18.290 --> 03:35:18.850 demonstrate. 03:35:19.310 --> 03:35:22.450 To be still and know that you are God. 03:35:22.990 --> 03:35:25.590 Indeed, this is the great new religion. 03:35:26.210 --> 03:35:29.610 Each and every person will know that he is God. 03:35:33.080 --> 03:35:38.780 The Bible does not support the idea that man is God or that he will ever become a 03:35:38.780 --> 03:35:39.120 God. 03:35:39.640 --> 03:35:42.980 In the Bible, God says understand that I am he. 03:35:43.540 --> 03:35:48.080 Before me, there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 03:35:48.680 --> 03:35:53.840 While the New Age declares that God is in everyone and everything, the Bible says 03:35:53.840 --> 03:35:55.840 repeatedly that God is holy. 03:35:56.440 --> 03:35:58.240 The word holy means separate. 03:35:58.240 --> 03:36:03.480 In other words, while God created everything, he is separate from his 03:36:03.480 --> 03:36:04.140 creation. 03:36:04.760 --> 03:36:10.020 The Apostle Paul warned that in the last days, because men received not the love of 03:36:10.020 --> 03:36:11.960 the truth, that they might be saved. 03:36:12.340 --> 03:36:17.280 For this cause, God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, 03:36:17.640 --> 03:36:21.420 that they all might be damned, who believed not the truth, but had 03:36:21.420 --> 03:36:23.140 pleasure in unrighteousness. 03:36:24.060 --> 03:36:29.840 While the New Age teaches self-reliance, Jesus said, without me, you can do 03:36:29.840 --> 03:36:30.240 nothing. 03:36:35.240 --> 03:36:40.780 In the Bible, God says, I will instruct thee and teach thee the way thou shalt go. 03:36:41.160 --> 03:36:43.100 I will guide thee with mine eye. 03:36:45.680 --> 03:36:50.580 He says, call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty 03:36:50.580 --> 03:36:52.320 things which thou knowest not. 03:37:02.920 --> 03:37:05.800 The psalmist writes, wait on the Lord. 03:37:06.400 --> 03:37:09.580 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart. 03:37:10.460 --> 03:37:12.440 Wait, I say, on the Lord. 03:37:18.880 --> 03:37:23.760 In the Old Testament, the story of King Saul serves as a warning to those who 03:37:23.760 --> 03:37:28.320 would seek the counsel of the dead, or of spirit mediums, rather than God. 03:37:29.600 --> 03:37:34.340 Saul had disobeyed the things God commanded him to do, but soon trouble came 03:37:34.340 --> 03:37:38.400 upon him, and he encountered a great host of his enemies, the Philistines. 03:37:39.360 --> 03:37:43.380 The Bible says that he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. 03:37:44.660 --> 03:37:49.120 At first, he sought counsel from God, but when the Lord did not answer him right 03:37:49.120 --> 03:37:54.500 away, rather than wait, he chose to consult a medium, known as the Witch of 03:37:54.500 --> 03:37:55.020 Endor. 03:37:56.400 --> 03:38:01.040 Saul asked her to call up the ghost of the prophet Samuel, who had died sometime 03:38:01.040 --> 03:38:01.620 before. 03:38:02.140 --> 03:38:06.700 The spirit of Samuel then appeared, only to prophesy of Saul's impending 03:38:06.700 --> 03:38:09.520 defeat and death for his disobedience. 03:38:10.220 --> 03:38:14.220 Saul was delivered into the hands of his enemies, and slain the following day. 03:38:14.780 --> 03:38:19.540 The Scripture says specifically that Saul died for his transgression, which he 03:38:19.540 --> 03:38:24.260 committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, 03:38:24.440 --> 03:38:30.500 and also for asking counsel of a medium to inquire of her, and inquired not of the 03:38:30.500 --> 03:38:30.800 Lord. 03:38:31.220 --> 03:38:32.840 Therefore, he slew him. 03:38:34.540 --> 03:38:40.880 Despite this warning, 3,000 years later, a modern website actually welcomes people 03:38:40.880 --> 03:38:46.000 to the Witch of Endor homepage, inviting them to ask questions of the 03:38:46.000 --> 03:38:49.120 dead, just like King Saul did in Biblical days. 03:38:49.440 --> 03:38:51.360 This is your opportunity, it says. 03:38:52.280 --> 03:38:57.220 Sadly, this website fails to warn its viewers against the judgment of God. 03:39:11.460 --> 03:39:16.220 The Word of God says concerning the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly 03:39:16.220 --> 03:39:19.640 prognosticators, Behold, they shall be as stubble. 03:39:20.120 --> 03:39:21.500 The fire shall burn them. 03:39:21.780 --> 03:39:24.980 They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. 03:39:25.520 --> 03:39:31.300 God warns that sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the 03:39:31.300 --> 03:39:36.060 lake that burneth with fire, and that those who practice witchcraft shall not 03:39:36.060 --> 03:39:37.860 inherit the kingdom of God. 03:39:45.950 --> 03:39:50.210 In the book of Isaiah, God says, And when they shall say unto you, 03:39:50.510 --> 03:39:55.010 Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep and that 03:39:55.010 --> 03:39:58.110 mutter, should not a people seek unto their God? 03:39:58.750 --> 03:40:01.390 For the living should they seek unto the dead? 03:40:02.070 --> 03:40:04.270 To the law and to the testimony. 03:40:04.510 --> 03:40:10.030 If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 03:40:17.960 --> 03:40:22.300 In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul warned the church when he wrote, 03:40:22.780 --> 03:40:27.880 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from 03:40:27.880 --> 03:40:34.160 the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies and 03:40:34.160 --> 03:40:34.880 hypocrisy. 03:40:35.800 --> 03:40:41.140 It would seem the seducing spirits of the 18th and 19th centuries focused first on 03:40:41.140 --> 03:40:45.980 creating a new mentality in the minds of men concerning the traditional 03:40:45.980 --> 03:40:47.600 interpretation of the Bible. 03:40:48.500 --> 03:40:52.600 But as the movement progressed, the attack would reach to the very heart 03:40:52.600 --> 03:40:53.900 of God's authority. 03:41:00.350 --> 03:41:05.610 When spiritist prophet Andrew Jackson Davis channeled his book on the principles 03:41:05.610 --> 03:41:11.030 of nature, he claimed to be a voice to mankind, to set forth the divine 03:41:11.030 --> 03:41:13.090 revelations of nature itself. 03:41:14.110 --> 03:41:18.570 He declared that, In the beginning, the universulum was one boundless, 03:41:18.770 --> 03:41:24.730 undefinable and unimaginable ocean of liquid fire, and that through an evolving 03:41:24.730 --> 03:41:29.290 process all things proceeded from this principle of power. 03:41:30.110 --> 03:41:35.510 Like Mary Baker Eddy, Davis taught that God was not a person who created things 03:41:35.510 --> 03:41:40.510 according to his will, but rather was a principle or force that could be tapped 03:41:40.510 --> 03:41:40.990 into. 03:41:42.590 --> 03:41:47.750 Describing the laws of man and nature, he said, Would it not be best to have the 03:41:47.750 --> 03:41:50.330 world exist on these immutable laws? 03:41:50.710 --> 03:41:55.330 Then existence would be emblematical of the brightness and beauty of Eden. 03:41:55.890 --> 03:42:00.110 Then the great tree, which has so long been concealed from the mental view, 03:42:00.270 --> 03:42:03.670 would grow and progress in glory, beauty and perfection. 03:42:04.250 --> 03:42:06.530 Its branches would wave over the world. 03:42:07.170 --> 03:42:11.490 Such would be the delicious fruits of the great tree of knowledge. 03:42:13.130 --> 03:42:17.210 Rather than recognize the tree of knowledge as a curse upon mankind, 03:42:18.050 --> 03:42:19.770 Davis sought to embrace it. 03:42:20.850 --> 03:42:27.250 And rather than allow God's word to define how we understand nature, Davis suggested 03:42:27.250 --> 03:42:32.330 that man's understanding of nature should govern his comprehension of God. 03:42:33.050 --> 03:42:37.810 Davis wrote, It is the office of paleontological sciences to set forth 03:42:37.810 --> 03:42:43.270 general truths in the departments of astronomy, geology, anatomy, physiology, 03:42:43.530 --> 03:42:43.810 etc. 03:42:44.250 --> 03:42:46.850 All is in perfect harmony with each other. 03:42:47.810 --> 03:42:52.870 In this, true theology has its foundation, and the teachings of this should 03:42:52.870 --> 03:42:55.830 constitute the only study of the theologian. 03:42:57.470 --> 03:43:03.390 As such, it is compelling that men of science would become the oracles for the 03:43:03.390 --> 03:43:05.570 next stage in the new thought process. 03:43:10.690 --> 03:43:15.550 In 1859, Charles Darwin published The Origin of the Species. 03:43:16.210 --> 03:43:21.070 Most students today, while familiar with Darwin, are unaware of the full title of 03:43:21.070 --> 03:43:26.910 his work, which is The Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection or 03:43:26.910 --> 03:43:30.970 the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life. 03:43:31.530 --> 03:43:36.470 In this work, Darwin challenged the origin of animal life on the planet, and 03:43:36.470 --> 03:43:40.910 formalized the evolutionary ideas that had been pondered for centuries. 03:43:41.610 --> 03:43:47.910 In 1871, Darwin published The Descent of Man, in which he applied this thinking to 03:43:47.910 --> 03:43:49.810 the origin of mankind itself. 03:43:50.790 --> 03:43:55.830 More than a century later, Charles Darwin is revered as a prophetic voice for 03:43:55.830 --> 03:43:58.230 humanism in the scientific community. 03:43:59.090 --> 03:44:04.470 His theories on evolution are today regarded as scientific fact. 03:44:07.900 --> 03:44:14.060 The very authorship of life itself, once acknowledged as from a divine creator 03:44:14.060 --> 03:44:20.020 who made man in his own image, has now been attributed to chance and a 03:44:20.020 --> 03:44:21.320 coincidence of nature. 03:44:28.700 --> 03:44:34.680 Yet some researchers argue that Darwin's theory has no foundation in real science, 03:44:35.000 --> 03:44:39.720 but is rather based on the ancient mystery teachings of the occult. 03:44:44.320 --> 03:44:47.360 First, I would say, the evolution theory did not start with Charles Darwin. 03:44:47.480 --> 03:44:48.460 It started way before that. 03:44:48.500 --> 03:44:51.760 It actually started in the Garden of Eden with Satan, when he said to Eve in Genesis 03:44:51.760 --> 03:44:56.100 3, Eve, if you eat off that tree, ye shall be as gods. 03:44:56.740 --> 03:45:00.400 The whole idea that man can progress and evolve and become better, you know, 03:45:00.800 --> 03:45:02.840 is an idea that came from the devil in the Garden of Eden. 03:45:04.540 --> 03:45:07.420 Satan started that, and then down through history there have been, who knows how 03:45:07.420 --> 03:45:10.020 many thousands of folks that have promoted that idea or pushed it. 03:45:10.720 --> 03:45:13.840 Aristotle taught a form of evolution, Plato taught a type of evolution, 03:45:14.580 --> 03:45:16.900 the Babylonians, I mean, down through history there's always been folks who 03:45:16.900 --> 03:45:20.640 taught, you know, that we the Egyptians taught we evolved from slime along the 03:45:20.640 --> 03:45:21.060 Nile River. 03:45:22.400 --> 03:45:24.380 So, Darwin simply made the theory popular. 03:45:24.380 --> 03:45:25.120 That's all he did. 03:45:25.180 --> 03:45:28.220 He didn't really invent the theory of evolution. 03:45:28.360 --> 03:45:31.100 His grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, wrote a whole book called Zoonomia, 03:45:31.440 --> 03:45:33.400 where he basically laid out everything Darwin said. 03:45:34.040 --> 03:45:37.260 And Darwin and his grandson then stole all of his ideas and never gave credit to 03:45:37.260 --> 03:45:38.140 grandpa one time. 03:45:38.980 --> 03:45:40.280 Interesting plagiarism back then. 03:45:40.640 --> 03:45:45.520 But Darwin's theory, we call it Darwin's theory, but actually it was way before 03:45:45.520 --> 03:45:45.680 him. 03:45:45.920 --> 03:45:49.920 The evolution theory would say that everything is evolving and getting better 03:45:49.920 --> 03:45:51.180 and we don't see any of that. 03:45:51.320 --> 03:45:54.160 We don't see any mutations produce any improvement to the gene pool. 03:45:54.820 --> 03:45:59.020 A mutation is a scrambling of information that results in a genetic loss. 03:45:59.820 --> 03:46:01.780 Nobody's ever proven a good mutation. 03:46:02.520 --> 03:46:04.560 Some people say, well, bacteria become resistant to drugs. 03:46:04.680 --> 03:46:06.620 I say, yeah, that's because they lost information. 03:46:07.260 --> 03:46:09.280 The antibiotic can't lock onto the ribosome. 03:46:10.400 --> 03:46:13.880 It's like, you go and somebody's coming through town and they're handcuffing 03:46:13.880 --> 03:46:14.180 everybody. 03:46:14.340 --> 03:46:15.560 Hauling them off to jail, going to kill them. 03:46:15.940 --> 03:46:18.220 But you don't have any arms, so they can't handcuff you. 03:46:18.800 --> 03:46:19.760 You say, wow, that's beneficial. 03:46:20.320 --> 03:46:23.160 Well, it might be beneficial for the moment, but it's not beneficial in the 03:46:23.160 --> 03:46:23.600 long term. 03:46:23.960 --> 03:46:29.800 So these bacteria that are deformed that have lost information are able to be 03:46:29.800 --> 03:46:33.940 resistant to the drugs only for that particular drug and only for a short time. 03:46:34.020 --> 03:46:37.340 When you put them back in the regular population, they're worse off. 03:46:38.040 --> 03:46:42.920 There's absolutely no evidence whatsoever to back up the evolution theory. 03:46:43.480 --> 03:46:46.940 Nobody's ever seen a dog come from a non-dog and we certainly have never seen a 03:46:46.940 --> 03:46:49.940 dog come from a rock which is what the evolution theory teaches if you go back 03:46:49.940 --> 03:46:51.180 millions of years. 03:46:52.520 --> 03:46:54.680 Most evolutionists don't even know their own theory. 03:46:54.780 --> 03:46:58.240 They don't even know that they believe they came from a rock 4.6 billion years 03:46:58.240 --> 03:46:58.520 ago. 03:46:59.660 --> 03:47:05.220 A typical modern science textbook says that 18 to 20 billion years ago, 03:47:05.540 --> 03:47:09.800 all the matter in the universe was concentrated into one very dense, 03:47:10.140 --> 03:47:15.600 very hot region that may have been much smaller than a period on this page. 03:47:15.600 --> 03:47:19.200 For some unknown reason, this region exploded. 03:47:19.780 --> 03:47:22.440 This explosion is called the Big Bang. 03:47:23.120 --> 03:47:28.840 Coming out of this Big Bang, a giant rock somehow appeared that was rained on by 03:47:28.840 --> 03:47:31.340 cosmic rains for millions of years. 03:47:31.980 --> 03:47:37.720 Evolutionary scientists teach that from this rock, supposedly, came all the life 03:47:37.720 --> 03:47:38.960 on planet Earth. 03:47:40.100 --> 03:47:44.160 So, the evolution theory teaches, you know, 20 billion years ago or sometime 03:47:44.160 --> 03:47:45.380 in the past, you know, pick a number. 03:47:46.040 --> 03:47:47.420 Nothing exploded and made everything. 03:47:48.180 --> 03:47:51.960 And then, all this stuff was spreading out through space from the Big Bang theory. 03:47:52.100 --> 03:47:56.760 And then, slowly, groups of this matter began to get together and condense into 03:47:56.760 --> 03:48:00.160 planets and stars and, you know, moons and stuff like that. 03:48:00.740 --> 03:48:04.180 And then, slowly, very slowly, over billions of years, or quickly if you 03:48:04.180 --> 03:48:07.960 are from Harvard, one of those planets, Earth, started to develop life, 03:48:08.100 --> 03:48:08.920 just by chance. 03:48:08.980 --> 03:48:09.840 Of course, it took a long time. 03:48:10.440 --> 03:48:13.900 And then, that first life form that slowly evolved out of the soup in the ocean 03:48:13.900 --> 03:48:18.240 learned how to reproduce itself, which is a pretty good trick, of course. 03:48:18.680 --> 03:48:21.020 And then, slowly, it turned into different kinds of animals. 03:48:21.320 --> 03:48:24.600 So, elephants and bananas and humans have a common ancestor by the evolution theory. 03:48:25.040 --> 03:48:26.300 That is pure speculation. 03:48:26.660 --> 03:48:27.180 It's religious. 03:48:27.360 --> 03:48:28.040 They believe that. 03:48:28.100 --> 03:48:29.860 I don't care what they believe, but it's not science. 03:48:32.300 --> 03:48:36.920 Darwinian scientists have attempted to explain the process of evolution as a 03:48:36.920 --> 03:48:40.720 gradual development that takes place over millions of years. 03:48:41.320 --> 03:48:46.140 Yet, some scientists argue that for the building blocks of life, this is simply 03:48:46.140 --> 03:48:46.920 impossible. 03:48:47.780 --> 03:48:53.400 Darwin himself admitted that if it could be demonstrated that any complex organ 03:48:53.400 --> 03:48:58.820 existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight 03:48:58.820 --> 03:49:02.740 modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. 03:49:03.800 --> 03:49:09.100 Through the 20th century, the complexity of living organisms has revealed itself to 03:49:09.100 --> 03:49:12.100 be far greater than Darwin ever imagined. 03:49:13.260 --> 03:49:18.100 At the White House Millennium Council for the year 2000, world-renowned scientist 03:49:18.100 --> 03:49:23.820 Stephen Hawking commented that our present computers are less complex than the brain 03:49:23.820 --> 03:49:28.640 of an earthworm, a species not noted for their intellectual powers. 03:49:29.240 --> 03:49:34.600 Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling taught that a single cell, the smallest living 03:49:34.600 --> 03:49:37.600 unit, is more complicated than New York City. 03:49:45.920 --> 03:49:50.900 In his book, Darwin's Black Box, author and biochemist Michael J. 03:49:51.040 --> 03:49:57.340 Behe argues that the complexity of cell structure overthrows the idea of a gradual 03:49:57.340 --> 03:49:58.020 evolution. 03:49:58.740 --> 03:50:03.660 His conclusions reveal that highly sophisticated molecular machines control 03:50:03.660 --> 03:50:05.400 every cellular process. 03:50:06.160 --> 03:50:11.280 Thus, the details of life are finely calibrated, and the machinery of life 03:50:11.280 --> 03:50:13.080 enormously complex. 03:50:14.660 --> 03:50:19.220 Behe writes that the simplest self-sufficient cell has the capacity to 03:50:19.220 --> 03:50:22.520 produce thousands of different proteins and other molecules. 03:50:23.100 --> 03:50:28.820 Synthesis, degradation, energy generation, replication, maintenance of cell 03:50:28.820 --> 03:50:34.720 architecture, mobility, regulation, repair, communication, all of these 03:50:34.720 --> 03:50:38.120 functions take place in virtually every cell. 03:50:38.120 --> 03:50:43.320 And each function itself requires the interaction of numerous parts. 03:50:45.020 --> 03:50:50.280 A child can die because of a single defect in one of the many machines needed for 03:50:50.280 --> 03:50:52.380 taking proteins to the lysosome. 03:50:52.880 --> 03:50:57.600 A single flaw in the cell's protein transport pathway is fatal. 03:50:58.320 --> 03:51:03.820 Unless the entire system were immediately in place, our ancestors would have died. 03:51:04.620 --> 03:51:10.320 He concludes that attempts at a gradual evolution are a recipe for extinction. 03:51:13.400 --> 03:51:17.220 Behe further rebukes the scientific community for ignoring the evidence. 03:51:17.780 --> 03:51:22.780 He says the impotence of Darwinian theory in accounting for the molecular basis of 03:51:22.780 --> 03:51:27.980 life is evident from the complete absence in the professional scientific literature 03:51:27.980 --> 03:51:33.940 of any detailed models by which complex biochemical systems could have been 03:51:33.940 --> 03:51:34.460 produced. 03:51:35.340 --> 03:51:39.240 In the 20th century, other noteworthy scientists have agreed. 03:51:39.760 --> 03:51:43.940 World-renowned astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle rejected Darwin's theory. 03:51:44.520 --> 03:51:47.420 It was Hoyle who coined the phrase, the Big Bang. 03:51:47.880 --> 03:51:53.040 He was, in fact, mocking the idea that all things came about through some great 03:51:53.040 --> 03:51:55.240 explosion billions of years ago. 03:51:56.120 --> 03:52:01.160 Hoyle calculated that the odds of producing just the basic enzymes of life 03:52:01.160 --> 03:52:06.340 by chance are one in one with 40,000 zeros after it. 03:52:07.100 --> 03:52:12.340 Hoyle claims that believing the first cell originated by chance is like believing a 03:52:12.340 --> 03:52:17.220 tornado could sweep through a junkyard filled with airplane parts and form a 03:52:17.220 --> 03:52:18.420 Boeing 747. 03:52:20.260 --> 03:52:25.660 He said, the scientific world has been bamboozled into believing that evolution 03:52:25.660 --> 03:52:26.840 has been proved. 03:52:27.280 --> 03:52:29.360 Nothing could be further from the truth. 03:52:29.360 --> 03:52:35.320 Hoyle said, this situation is well known to geneticists and yet nobody seems to 03:52:35.320 --> 03:52:37.860 blow the whistle decisively on the theory. 03:52:38.460 --> 03:52:43.380 Most scientists still cling to Darwinism because of its grip on the educational 03:52:43.380 --> 03:52:44.020 system. 03:52:44.660 --> 03:52:49.180 You either have to believe the concepts or be branded a heretic. 03:52:50.300 --> 03:52:55.380 Australian biologist Michael Denton, author of the book Evolution, A Theory in 03:52:55.380 --> 03:53:00.780 Crisis, says science has so thoroughly discredited Darwinian evolution that it 03:53:00.780 --> 03:53:01.840 should be discarded. 03:53:02.380 --> 03:53:07.420 Meanwhile, mathematics professor Wolfgang Smith says evolution is a metaphysical 03:53:07.900 --> 03:53:11.360 myth totally bereft of scientific sanction. 03:53:12.420 --> 03:53:17.760 At the British Museum of Natural History in London, paleontologist Colin Patterson 03:53:17.900 --> 03:53:23.420 started asking other scientists to tell him one thing they knew about evolution. 03:53:24.740 --> 03:53:29.000 Lecturing to biologists at the American Museum of Natural History in New York 03:53:29.000 --> 03:53:29.740 City, he said, 03:53:55.560 --> 03:54:01.240 In spite of the evidence, Patterson did not abandon evolution. 03:54:01.800 --> 03:54:02.180 He says, 03:54:20.460 --> 03:54:26.880 What Patterson described was his own paradigm shift from scientist to Darwinian 03:54:26.880 --> 03:54:27.480 worshipper. 03:54:28.180 --> 03:54:31.580 His idol, the Cathedral of Evolutionary Thought. 03:54:32.400 --> 03:54:36.600 This trend among scientists has been acknowledged by others in the scientific 03:54:36.600 --> 03:54:37.280 community. 03:54:38.020 --> 03:54:40.840 The building behind me is London's Natural History Museum. 03:54:41.540 --> 03:54:44.740 It looks rather like a cathedral or a church, and in a way that's what it is. 03:54:44.760 --> 03:54:47.820 It's a kind of temple to Darwin's theory of evolution. 03:54:50.520 --> 03:54:53.960 People come to museums like the Natural History Museum to get answers to their 03:54:53.960 --> 03:54:54.380 questions. 03:54:54.380 --> 03:54:55.960 Have we evolved from apes? 03:54:56.040 --> 03:54:57.980 Do humans and apes share a common ancestor? 03:54:58.380 --> 03:55:01.080 And to look at an exhibit like this, you'd think that question had been 03:55:01.080 --> 03:55:02.320 answered decisively, yes. 03:55:02.920 --> 03:55:05.060 But the answer is far from decisive. 03:55:05.400 --> 03:55:09.580 In fact, this representation is an interpretation of the fossils. 03:55:09.900 --> 03:55:11.520 The interpretation of one group of scientists. 03:55:11.960 --> 03:55:15.260 There are other interpretations, but you won't find them in this museum or 03:55:15.260 --> 03:55:16.520 any other museum in the world. 03:55:16.980 --> 03:55:22.340 In the days of early America, the founding fathers held few doubts that man had been 03:55:22.340 --> 03:55:24.640 created rather than evolved. 03:55:25.180 --> 03:55:30.240 The Declaration of Independence says plainly, we hold these truths to be 03:55:30.240 --> 03:55:36.840 self-evident, that all men are created, and that they are endowed by their creator 03:55:36.840 --> 03:55:39.580 with certain unalienable rights. 03:55:40.240 --> 03:55:45.060 The founding fathers maintained that the rights and liberties of men were defended 03:55:45.060 --> 03:55:48.180 by the authority of God, who created them. 03:55:48.540 --> 03:55:53.900 But if mankind merely evolved, then a man's rights are established only 03:55:53.900 --> 03:55:55.160 by man's opinion. 03:55:55.760 --> 03:55:59.880 As that opinion changes, the rights of men can also change. 03:56:00.620 --> 03:56:02.960 As was the case in Nazi Germany. 03:56:03.580 --> 03:56:07.900 Hitler believed that evolution was true and the inferior races need to be 03:56:07.900 --> 03:56:09.500 eliminated, and he had a list. 03:56:09.980 --> 03:56:15.140 Hitler's opinion was that Jews and people considered genetically inferior should be 03:56:15.140 --> 03:56:16.740 eliminated from society. 03:56:17.800 --> 03:56:24.120 The Nazis relied upon the Darwinian view of the natural selection of favored races 03:56:24.120 --> 03:56:28.140 to further their own ideas on the struggle for life. 03:56:28.740 --> 03:56:35.140 In fact, Hitler's book Mein Kampf means My Struggle, a struggle the Nazis clearly 03:56:35.140 --> 03:56:38.620 defined as demonstrated by this propaganda film. 03:56:47.040 --> 03:56:52.820 In the opening scene, the narrator makes direct reference to Darwin's teaching on 03:56:52.820 --> 03:56:53.880 natural selection. 03:57:17.520 --> 03:57:22.300 Healthy people lived in narrow, lightless streets and half-dead leaves. 03:57:26.260 --> 03:57:31.780 Idiots and stupid people were built palaces, and these sick people were not 03:57:31.780 --> 03:57:35.160 receptive to the beauty they were surrounded by. 03:57:35.460 --> 03:57:39.500 The German people hardly know the extent of this misery. 03:57:41.020 --> 03:57:47.240 They do not know the oppressive spirit of those houses in which thousands of 03:57:47.240 --> 03:57:54.560 lullabies have to be artificially fed and nurtured, which are deeper than any 03:57:54.560 --> 03:57:54.980 animal. 03:57:58.200 --> 03:58:05.140 In the last 70 years, our people have increased by 50 percent, while the number 03:58:05.140 --> 03:58:14.300 of patients has increased by 450 percent If this development continued like this, 03:58:15.040 --> 03:58:19.620 in 50 years, four healthy people would become one earth's sicker. 03:58:19.940 --> 03:58:23.620 An endless train of horror would march into the nation. 03:58:24.600 --> 03:58:28.780 Measless misery would come over a valuable people, which would then face its end with 03:58:28.780 --> 03:58:29.740 huge steps. 03:58:32.020 --> 03:58:34.840 The Jewish population of Balti is brought into collective camps. 03:58:36.520 --> 03:58:40.420 These are those East-Jews who, especially after the World War, 03:58:40.680 --> 03:58:44.680 flooded the big cities of Central and Western Europe, where they displaced their 03:58:44.680 --> 03:58:47.580 guests as parasites and threatened to destroy thousands of years old cultures. 03:58:57.940 --> 03:59:03.560 Under evolutionary influence, Hitler declared, I have the right to exterminate 03:59:03.560 --> 03:59:08.500 millions of individuals of inferior races, which multiply like vermin. 03:59:11.360 --> 03:59:18.160 While Germany had been a democratic society, the Nazis evolved German law and 03:59:18.160 --> 03:59:20.960 changed it to suit their own wicked desires. 03:59:26.340 --> 03:59:30.960 In the Bible, God says, I am the Lord, I change not. 03:59:31.540 --> 03:59:37.080 Jesus said, Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 03:59:37.560 --> 03:59:42.100 It is for this reason that the principles and teachings of the Bible were considered 03:59:42.100 --> 03:59:44.400 so important by early Americans. 03:59:46.220 --> 03:59:51.180 Sir William Blackstone maintained that man-made laws should not be allowed to 03:59:51.180 --> 03:59:53.080 contradict the laws of God. 03:59:53.480 --> 03:59:58.360 And if man's laws did contradict God's laws, Blackstone stated they were not 03:59:58.360 --> 03:59:58.840 valid. 03:59:59.920 --> 04:00:05.360 In Acts 5.29, the apostles taught, we ought to obey God rather than men. 04:00:06.720 --> 04:00:12.360 In the Bible, God reveals that because man was made in God's image, he holds a 04:00:12.360 --> 04:00:15.460 particular place above every creature on earth. 04:00:16.140 --> 04:00:21.380 Man is not equal to the beasts of the field, but he would be if all life evolved 04:00:21.380 --> 04:00:22.560 from a common source. 04:00:23.180 --> 04:00:27.580 If that were the case, killing a man would be no different than killing an insect, 04:00:27.740 --> 04:00:29.600 or a cow, or a carrot. 04:00:30.240 --> 04:00:34.260 This was the thinking that allowed Hitler to murder millions in the Second World 04:00:34.260 --> 04:00:34.660 War. 04:00:35.340 --> 04:00:40.060 Exterminating Jews and undesirables was compared to getting rid of rats and 04:00:40.060 --> 04:00:40.580 insects. 04:01:15.980 --> 04:01:21.820 This Nazi documentary shows workers using poison gas as a pesticide. 04:01:35.600 --> 04:01:41.280 Within a few years, this same gas would be used to murder Jews at Auschwitz. 04:01:47.360 --> 04:01:52.140 Heinrich Himmler stated that anti-Semitism is like being deloused. 04:01:52.680 --> 04:01:55.620 Getting rid of lice is hardly a philosophical issue. 04:01:56.160 --> 04:01:57.480 It's a matter of cleanliness. 04:01:58.200 --> 04:02:03.380 Similarly, anti-Semitism is a hygienic measure that we have been forced to 04:02:03.380 --> 04:02:03.740 endure. 04:02:05.060 --> 04:02:10.960 While evolution teaches the idea of favored races, the Bible says that God 04:02:10.960 --> 04:02:17.320 hath made of one blood all nations of men, and that mankind was given dominion over 04:02:17.320 --> 04:02:20.620 every living thing upon the face of all the earth. 04:02:21.000 --> 04:02:25.440 The Lord said to Noah, Surely your blood of your lives will I require. 04:02:25.900 --> 04:02:30.100 At the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man. 04:02:30.640 --> 04:02:34.880 At the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 04:02:35.460 --> 04:02:39.560 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. 04:02:39.820 --> 04:02:42.660 For in the image of God made he man. 04:02:44.460 --> 04:02:49.500 But if God did not create men, under what authority should a man's person 04:02:49.500 --> 04:02:50.280 be protected? 04:02:57.210 --> 04:03:00.350 I've asked evolutionists all over the country, you know, if evolution is true, 04:03:00.690 --> 04:03:01.430 I have a simple question. 04:03:01.910 --> 04:03:03.350 How do we tell right from wrong? 04:03:04.390 --> 04:03:07.730 How does anybody tell right from wrong if evolution is true? 04:03:08.810 --> 04:03:11.390 The simple fact is you can't tell right from wrong. 04:03:11.390 --> 04:03:13.810 There's no such thing as right or wrong if evolution is true. 04:03:14.570 --> 04:03:15.410 Might makes right. 04:03:15.490 --> 04:03:17.130 Whoever's the strongest, they get their way. 04:03:17.270 --> 04:03:18.770 The biggest lion gets the zebra. 04:03:19.610 --> 04:03:21.930 And that's kind of the way evolution theory ends up. 04:03:22.110 --> 04:03:25.030 The bottom line is there is no standard for right and wrong. 04:03:25.330 --> 04:03:26.730 No moral base whatsoever. 04:03:27.530 --> 04:03:29.910 And I think the theory is not only dumb, I think it's very dangerous. 04:03:30.970 --> 04:03:34.930 Shortly after Darwin's theory was published, a man named Christopher 04:03:34.930 --> 04:03:38.390 Columbus Langdell became dean of Harvard Law School. 04:03:38.970 --> 04:03:42.830 Langdell believed wholeheartedly in Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. 04:03:43.570 --> 04:03:48.150 He also believed that as man evolved, his laws must also evolve. 04:03:48.770 --> 04:03:53.950 Langdell introduced the now famous case law method into the American legal system. 04:03:54.890 --> 04:04:00.270 In his book on the history of American education, author and researcher Von 04:04:00.270 --> 04:04:05.070 Schatzer writes that case law basically means judges would interpret the U.S. 04:04:05.310 --> 04:04:09.150 Constitution and Bill of Rights as they believed it should be interpreted, 04:04:09.450 --> 04:04:13.550 not necessarily in accordance with the intent of the Founding Fathers. 04:04:14.250 --> 04:04:19.250 In case law, should the judge or judges not believe in God or the Bible, 04:04:19.710 --> 04:04:22.690 Christian principles or values would not be used. 04:04:23.090 --> 04:04:27.290 If judges did not believe abortion was murder, they ruled accordingly. 04:04:27.790 --> 04:04:32.550 If judges did not believe homosexuality was wrong, they ruled accordingly. 04:04:34.050 --> 04:04:38.350 Sir William Blackstone's famous commentaries on the law were used for 04:04:38.350 --> 04:04:42.810 about 160 years by American lawyers, courts, U.S. 04:04:42.970 --> 04:04:47.770 Senate, and law schools to settle disputes, to define words, and to examine 04:04:47.770 --> 04:04:48.470 procedure. 04:04:49.510 --> 04:04:54.030 Thomas Jefferson once stated that the influence of Blackstone's commentaries on 04:04:54.030 --> 04:04:59.170 law was so strong on American lawyers, they were used with the same dedication 04:04:59.470 --> 04:05:02.170 and reverence that Muslims used the Koran. 04:05:02.870 --> 04:05:07.810 But in the 1930s, Blackstone's commentaries that were based on biblical 04:05:07.810 --> 04:05:13.430 principles were discarded in favor of the evolutionary case law method. 04:05:13.930 --> 04:05:19.790 The first major decision the courts made using the case law method was in 1962, 04:05:20.250 --> 04:05:22.430 the removal of prayer from schools. 04:05:24.630 --> 04:05:32.750 The Supreme Court reached decisions in 1962 and 1963 that declared prayer and the 04:05:32.750 --> 04:05:36.890 reading of Bible verses in public schools to be unconstitutional. 04:05:37.550 --> 04:05:42.310 This is ironic when one considers that the American school system was originally 04:05:42.310 --> 04:05:46.510 established for the purpose of teaching the Bible to all Americans. 04:05:47.410 --> 04:05:53.030 Perhaps the chief reason every American child learns to read can be traced to an 04:05:53.030 --> 04:05:59.590 early American law known as the Old Deluder Satan Act, established in 1647. 04:05:59.590 --> 04:06:06.130 The law began with the words, it being one chief object of that Old Deluder Satan, 04:06:06.670 --> 04:06:10.510 to keep men from the knowledge of the scriptures as in former times. 04:06:11.050 --> 04:06:15.630 For this reason the law stated that children must learn to read and write so 04:06:15.630 --> 04:06:20.350 they would be able to read the Bible for themselves and avoid the errors of the 04:06:20.350 --> 04:06:21.110 dark ages. 04:06:23.170 --> 04:06:28.750 Many researchers today consider it of great significance that the 1960s brought 04:06:28.750 --> 04:06:33.770 an end to an American standard in education that stood for more than 300 04:06:33.770 --> 04:06:34.410 years. 04:06:36.830 --> 04:06:40.270 In the early 60s and the 63, prayer was taken out of our schools. 04:06:40.830 --> 04:06:45.490 And right then from 1963 on is when we saw a great rise in sexually transmitted 04:06:45.490 --> 04:06:53.230 diseases, illegal drug use, child abuse, premarital sex, I mean just all kinds of 04:06:53.230 --> 04:06:57.310 moral indicators began to fall, the world began, America particularly 04:06:57.310 --> 04:06:59.790 began to fall apart in the early 1960s morally. 04:07:00.170 --> 04:07:03.610 I think largely because of the introduction of this evolution theory into 04:07:03.610 --> 04:07:07.290 our textbooks which says there is no God, there is no way to determine right from 04:07:07.290 --> 04:07:07.570 wrong. 04:07:10.490 --> 04:07:14.490 While biblical teachings on the creation have been removed from schools, 04:07:14.890 --> 04:07:18.810 the pagan doctrine of evolution has deceptively replaced them. 04:07:19.590 --> 04:07:24.630 Evolution is perhaps most clearly seen in the Hindu teaching of reincarnation. 04:07:24.630 --> 04:07:28.690 Dying and living and dying and living, this endless cycle of reincarnation. 04:07:29.970 --> 04:07:36.150 This is the basis of Hindu eastern mystical thinking, evolution. 04:07:36.890 --> 04:07:40.470 That there was death that came into the world. 04:07:40.630 --> 04:07:43.970 Now God says that he created a perfect world. 04:07:44.170 --> 04:07:46.330 A perfect world there was no death. 04:07:47.850 --> 04:07:53.210 According to the Bible, death entered the world through Adam when he sinned with Eve 04:07:53.210 --> 04:07:53.790 in the garden. 04:07:54.730 --> 04:07:57.590 Prior to Adam's sin, there was no death. 04:07:58.550 --> 04:08:03.850 Sin brought in death and God killed the first possibly lamb. 04:08:04.750 --> 04:08:10.750 The animal sacrifice, the first animal sacrifice was committed by God himself who 04:08:10.750 --> 04:08:17.450 covered the sinners with a covering for sin. 04:08:17.910 --> 04:08:22.550 And this was a foreshadowing of what he would do through Jesus Christ. 04:08:22.750 --> 04:08:27.550 That there would be a death and a blood sacrifice to cover sin. 04:08:28.110 --> 04:08:34.050 So to say that there was death before life and this endless cycle of reincarnation 04:08:34.050 --> 04:08:40.090 and evolution, which is synonymous, that the two of them go together is 04:08:40.090 --> 04:08:40.670 unbiblical. 04:08:41.350 --> 04:08:45.170 So here we have in schools today, for instance, a faith that undergirds 04:08:45.170 --> 04:08:51.190 paganism, heathenism, mystical eastern thinking which is evolution, which is now 04:08:51.190 --> 04:08:57.570 being taught in schools as part of a conditioning process whereas creationism 04:08:57.570 --> 04:09:01.590 has been taken out of schools because they say it's religious because it comes from 04:09:01.590 --> 04:09:02.050 the Bible. 04:09:02.670 --> 04:09:07.890 So you've got one faith, the faith on how the world began, creationism, taken out of 04:09:07.890 --> 04:09:14.750 the classroom because it's not scientific but you've got another faith that 04:09:14.750 --> 04:09:20.790 undergirds eastern mysticism, evolution, being brought into the classroom called a 04:09:20.790 --> 04:09:21.250 science. 04:09:22.310 --> 04:09:28.590 But why did evolutionary theory gain such strength and power in a nation founded on 04:09:28.590 --> 04:09:29.550 biblical principles? 04:09:30.190 --> 04:09:35.130 And how did so many come to believe that evolution is fact rather than theory? 04:09:35.930 --> 04:09:39.790 The mainstream offers the following view which seems typical. 04:09:40.650 --> 04:09:45.510 Before the 19th century, western man looked to the Bible for an explanation of 04:09:45.510 --> 04:09:46.010 his origins. 04:09:46.930 --> 04:09:52.170 In the story of Genesis, God created man from the dust of the earth 6,000 years 04:09:52.170 --> 04:09:52.490 ago. 04:09:53.150 --> 04:09:56.970 But when man dug into the earth for answers, he found evidence that appeared 04:09:56.970 --> 04:09:58.170 to tell a different story. 04:09:59.230 --> 04:09:59.730 Evolution. 04:10:00.610 --> 04:10:02.250 But is this really what happened? 04:10:02.690 --> 04:10:06.770 Did the physical evidence give man reason to doubt the biblical account? 04:10:07.130 --> 04:10:11.510 Or did man create a theory and then go looking for some way to prove it? 04:10:12.050 --> 04:10:16.870 Modern sources, like this documentary hosted by Charlton Heston, have begun to 04:10:16.870 --> 04:10:19.170 admit that this was indeed the case. 04:10:19.570 --> 04:10:24.290 When Darwin's theory of evolution was embraced, it was assumed that in the next 04:10:24.290 --> 04:10:28.670 century, enough fossil evidence would be found to prove that man had evolved from 04:10:28.670 --> 04:10:29.510 the apes. 04:10:30.210 --> 04:10:33.170 Darwinists had promised us a missing link, and so they've got to deliver. 04:10:33.290 --> 04:10:34.530 They've got to come up with one. 04:10:34.730 --> 04:10:36.790 Any missing link will do, it seems. 04:10:37.110 --> 04:10:39.030 Any missing link will do, it seems. 04:10:41.550 --> 04:10:44.710 Darwin published his theory in 1859. 04:10:45.610 --> 04:10:49.490 It was half a century later before any evidence arrived to support it. 04:10:50.170 --> 04:10:56.070 In 1912, British scientist Charles Dawson made the Piltdown Man discovery and 04:10:56.070 --> 04:10:57.010 changed the world. 04:10:57.710 --> 04:11:02.730 Piltdown Man was considered the missing link, supposedly the skull and jawbone of 04:11:02.730 --> 04:11:05.330 a half-man, half-ape mutation. 04:11:05.930 --> 04:11:10.350 It convinced millions that Darwin's theory was scientifically proved. 04:11:10.930 --> 04:11:16.230 But in 1953, some 40 years later, Piltdown was declared a hoax. 04:11:16.850 --> 04:11:23.190 It was somebody taking a human skull and an ape's jawbone, they broke off the joint 04:11:23.190 --> 04:11:25.550 where they would fit together so they couldn't tell, then filed them down, 04:11:25.630 --> 04:11:28.470 made them look really old, and buried them in a gravel pit. 04:11:29.030 --> 04:11:33.110 It was a hoax, a deliberate, either a joke, which they never told anybody about 04:11:33.110 --> 04:11:36.730 for 40 years, or a lie to try to prove the evolution theory. 04:11:37.810 --> 04:11:43.670 In either case, it may be said that no other discovery in the 20th century has 04:11:43.670 --> 04:11:47.570 had as great an impact on furthering evolution than Piltdown. 04:11:49.810 --> 04:11:54.370 Stephen Jay Gould writes that Piltdown absorbed the professional attention of 04:11:54.370 --> 04:11:55.650 many fine scientists. 04:11:56.070 --> 04:11:59.150 It led millions of people astray for 40 years. 04:11:59.810 --> 04:12:04.750 Researcher Richard Harder reports that more than 500 articles and memoirs were 04:12:04.750 --> 04:12:08.510 written on the Piltdown finds before the hoax was exposed. 04:12:09.150 --> 04:12:14.230 Likewise, articles in encyclopedias and sections in textbooks and popular books of 04:12:14.230 --> 04:12:17.290 science an immense amount of derivative work. 04:12:17.850 --> 04:12:22.730 For many years, the Piltdown finds were a significant percentage of the fossils 04:12:22.730 --> 04:12:25.870 which were used to reconstruct human ancestry. 04:12:27.790 --> 04:12:31.170 In his book, The Piltdown Forgery, J.S. 04:12:31.250 --> 04:12:37.030 Weiner remarks that this ill-begotten form of primitive man received nearly as much 04:12:37.030 --> 04:12:41.910 attention as all the legitimate specimens in the fossil record put together. 04:12:42.630 --> 04:12:47.050 Yet once the hoax was exposed, the scientific community failed to repent 04:12:47.050 --> 04:12:47.870 of its error. 04:12:48.350 --> 04:12:53.450 The damage had already been done and a generation of evolutionary thought had 04:12:53.450 --> 04:12:54.030 been born. 04:12:55.190 --> 04:12:57.570 Dawson himself never lived to be exposed. 04:12:58.010 --> 04:13:02.250 He died shortly after his famous discovery in 1916. 04:13:02.890 --> 04:13:08.490 While controversy over the hoax continues, today the BBC refers to Dawson as the 04:13:08.490 --> 04:13:09.650 Piltdown Faker. 04:13:10.230 --> 04:13:14.410 They write that of his discoveries at least 38 are fakes. 04:13:14.850 --> 04:13:19.570 The only suspect in these frauds is Charles Dawson himself, the same man who 04:13:19.570 --> 04:13:24.490 uncovered the remains of Eanthropus Dawsoni, the Piltdown Man. 04:13:25.290 --> 04:13:31.010 BBC concludes that for Charles Dawson, Piltdown was not a one-off hoax, 04:13:31.250 --> 04:13:33.690 more the culmination of a life's work. 04:13:35.470 --> 04:13:37.710 Yet Dawson did not act alone. 04:13:38.150 --> 04:13:43.330 His partner in the Piltdown affair was a young paleontologist and Roman Catholic 04:13:43.330 --> 04:13:46.950 Jesuit priest named Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. 04:13:47.570 --> 04:13:50.890 I tend to believe that a Catholic priest named Pierre de Chardin was involved in 04:13:50.890 --> 04:13:51.330 this also. 04:13:51.750 --> 04:13:56.290 And he really pushed evolution on the Catholic Church because he said, 04:13:56.290 --> 04:13:56.910 Oh, we got proof. 04:13:57.010 --> 04:13:58.310 We got this half-man, half-monkey. 04:13:58.990 --> 04:14:03.990 After Dawson's death, Teilhard would become heir to the find of the century and 04:14:03.990 --> 04:14:09.970 may be the man most responsible for the normalization of evolutionary thinking in 04:14:09.970 --> 04:14:11.350 Western culture today. 04:14:12.610 --> 04:14:17.350 Teilhard would go on to work in China and take part in the now famous Peking Man 04:14:17.350 --> 04:14:21.770 discovery, a collection of would-be missing links that mysteriously 04:14:21.770 --> 04:14:26.230 disappeared in 1941 before anyone could fully examine them. 04:14:26.890 --> 04:14:31.870 Of 175 fossil fragments recorded, all were supposedly lost. 04:14:32.410 --> 04:14:37.050 Only the notes and photographs taken by Teilhard and his team of scientists 04:14:37.050 --> 04:14:37.370 remain. 04:14:38.370 --> 04:14:42.690 Modern critics question the integrity of the find because of Teilhard's association 04:14:42.690 --> 04:14:45.770 with Charles Dawson, the Piltdown faker. 04:14:46.790 --> 04:14:51.950 But Teilhard's scientific deceptions are minor when compared to the theological 04:14:51.950 --> 04:14:56.090 abyss that he sought to drag himself and humanity into. 04:14:56.650 --> 04:15:01.690 He wrote, Is evolution a theory, a system, or a hypothesis? 04:15:02.310 --> 04:15:03.550 It is much more. 04:15:04.030 --> 04:15:10.130 It is the general condition to which all theories, all hypotheses, all systems must 04:15:10.130 --> 04:15:14.950 bow, and which they must satisfy henceforward if they are to be thinkable 04:15:14.950 --> 04:15:15.690 and true. 04:15:16.410 --> 04:15:22.650 Evolution is a light illuminating all facts, a curve that all lines must follow. 04:15:23.870 --> 04:15:28.750 Treated as an apostate by the Vatican, banned from teaching and forbidden to 04:15:28.750 --> 04:15:33.930 publish his writings, Teilhard became the hero of sophisticated Protestants and then 04:15:33.930 --> 04:15:38.250 returned to the good graces of Rome 26 years after his death. 04:15:39.110 --> 04:15:43.830 The Catholic Church, that once rejected evolutionary thinking, seems to have been 04:15:43.830 --> 04:15:49.610 among those who bowed to its hypothesis, largely due to the influence of Teilhard, 04:15:49.950 --> 04:15:54.950 who had become a hero and role model for a whole generation of younger priests and 04:15:54.950 --> 04:15:55.690 theologians. 04:15:56.110 --> 04:16:00.550 He set the stage for the renewal movements, which finally came to flower in 04:16:00.550 --> 04:16:02.210 the era of Vatican II. 04:16:02.970 --> 04:16:07.150 Vatican II is the Catholic document that launched the ecumenical movement, 04:16:07.470 --> 04:16:11.990 for the purpose of ultimately unifying mankind in a universal faith. 04:16:12.570 --> 04:16:17.750 Evolution plays a key role in ecumenism, since the pagan religions of the world are 04:16:17.750 --> 04:16:19.690 largely based on its precepts. 04:16:20.650 --> 04:16:25.570 Under Pope John Paul II, Rome now considers evolution to be a part of the 04:16:25.570 --> 04:16:26.450 Gospel truth. 04:16:27.010 --> 04:16:31.170 It is reported that the Pope has put the teaching authority of the Roman Catholic 04:16:31.170 --> 04:16:36.230 Church firmly behind the view that the human body is the product of a gradual 04:16:36.230 --> 04:16:37.950 process of evolution. 04:16:38.810 --> 04:16:43.570 But the influence of this Jesuit priest would reach far beyond the walls of Rome. 04:16:43.570 --> 04:16:49.970 In 1985, author Marilyn Ferguson published her controversial book, The Aquarian 04:16:49.970 --> 04:16:55.070 Conspiracy, which USA Today called, The Handbook of the New Age. 04:16:55.510 --> 04:17:00.610 In it, Ferguson describes a worldwide conspiracy of people seeking to bring 04:17:00.610 --> 04:17:03.830 about a paradigm shift in global consciousness. 04:17:04.490 --> 04:17:10.270 In the Los Angeles Times, Marilyn Ferguson revealed that Teilhard was the name most 04:17:10.270 --> 04:17:16.610 frequently mentioned by 185 leaders in the New Age movement when Ferguson asked who 04:17:16.610 --> 04:17:19.630 was the most influential person in their lives. 04:17:19.990 --> 04:17:25.070 By the end of the 20th century, Teilhard du Chardin would be known by many 04:17:25.070 --> 04:17:27.330 as the father of the New Age. 04:17:28.950 --> 04:17:34.490 Teilhard died in 1955, but his passing only marked the beginning of his meteoric 04:17:34.490 --> 04:17:35.550 rise to fame. 04:17:35.890 --> 04:17:40.050 His treatises, long suppressed, were published and quickly translated into 04:17:40.050 --> 04:17:41.630 all major languages. 04:17:42.210 --> 04:17:48.170 Harvard's Widener Library now houses an entire tier of books devoted to Teilhard's 04:17:48.170 --> 04:17:49.230 writing and thinking. 04:17:50.190 --> 04:17:55.450 Today, more and more people, Christians as well as non-Christians, accept his views 04:17:55.450 --> 04:17:58.410 and take keen interest in studying his philosophy. 04:17:59.110 --> 04:18:03.810 He has become known for his theory that man is evolving mentally and socially 04:18:03.810 --> 04:18:06.470 toward a final spiritual unity. 04:18:12.390 --> 04:18:16.830 Andrew Jackson Davis, known by some as the prophet of the New Revelation, 04:18:17.330 --> 04:18:21.230 channeled a message from the spirit realm that called for the paleontological 04:18:21.230 --> 04:18:25.510 sciences to direct man's perception of God through the study of nature. 04:18:26.150 --> 04:18:31.570 Is it merely coincidence that Teilhard du Chardin, a priest and paleontologist, 04:18:31.850 --> 04:18:34.910 would lead the way into the dawn of a new age? 04:18:35.990 --> 04:18:41.250 Researcher Charles P. Henderson writes this paleontologist and Jesuit priest made 04:18:41.250 --> 04:18:46.070 it his personal mission to reconstruct the most basic Christian doctrines from the 04:18:46.070 --> 04:18:47.390 perspectives of science. 04:18:48.010 --> 04:18:52.270 He would do this by overthrowing all the barriers that had been erected between 04:18:52.270 --> 04:18:53.350 science and religion. 04:18:53.950 --> 04:18:58.550 He would take the lessons learned from the study of nature as the foundation on which 04:18:58.550 --> 04:19:01.010 to reconstruct the Christian faith. 04:19:03.970 --> 04:19:09.430 After the similar examples of Swedenborg, Phineas Quimby and Mary Baker Eddy, 04:19:09.910 --> 04:19:15.350 Teilhard sought to deny the reality of sin and openly rejected the biblical gospel. 04:19:15.910 --> 04:19:22.810 In 1947 Teilhard said, very definitely, there was no Adam and no Eve and no 04:19:22.810 --> 04:19:23.830 original sin. 04:19:24.790 --> 04:19:29.950 He wrote that original sin continually obstructs the natural expansion of our 04:19:29.950 --> 04:19:30.370 religion. 04:19:30.910 --> 04:19:34.810 It is a straitjacket that checks any movement of heart or head. 04:19:35.230 --> 04:19:40.430 It binds us hand and foot and drains the blood from us because it represents a 04:19:40.430 --> 04:19:46.430 survival of static concepts that are an anachronism in our evolutionist system of 04:19:46.430 --> 04:19:46.830 thought. 04:19:47.430 --> 04:19:52.970 A Catholic newsletter says that in the theology of Teilhard, we are all becoming 04:19:52.970 --> 04:19:53.490 Christ. 04:19:53.930 --> 04:19:58.090 There is no original sin and therefore no need of redemption. 04:19:58.890 --> 04:20:04.290 Evolutionary forces are ferrying everyone along to Godhood and all are anonymous 04:20:04.290 --> 04:20:08.250 Christians making faith in the literal death and resurrection of Christ 04:20:08.250 --> 04:20:09.270 unnecessary. 04:20:10.650 --> 04:20:14.630 The American Atheist magazine understands the situation too well. 04:20:15.030 --> 04:20:19.550 It writes, destroy Adam and Eve and original sin and in the rubble you will 04:20:19.550 --> 04:20:24.310 find the sorry remains of the Son of God and take away the meaning of His death. 04:20:25.410 --> 04:20:29.130 But did Teilhard intend to undermine the Christ of the Bible? 04:20:29.130 --> 04:20:34.330 Some have thought so since Teilhard's evolutionary teachings parallel eastern 04:20:34.330 --> 04:20:36.590 mysticism and pagan theology. 04:20:37.430 --> 04:20:45.590 The whole eastern pagan theological worldview is to undermine the deity of 04:20:45.590 --> 04:20:49.610 Christ and to elevate the deity of humanity. 04:20:50.650 --> 04:20:55.590 So eastern mysticism, paganism is talking about the God within. 04:20:55.930 --> 04:20:59.210 The way they Christianize it is by saying Christ is within me. 04:20:59.610 --> 04:21:03.750 I am the Christ or the antichrist that's going to come is the Christ or the Lord, 04:21:03.850 --> 04:21:04.330 the Maitreya. 04:21:04.710 --> 04:21:13.190 So all of it is actually lessening the work of Christ and man is elevated to a 04:21:13.190 --> 04:21:14.230 Christ-like person. 04:21:15.250 --> 04:21:17.150 And you'll find that in most of the cults. 04:21:17.310 --> 04:21:21.390 They will not give... Christ is not given the position of deity. 04:21:22.090 --> 04:21:26.670 Another researcher writes that Roman Catholic scholar Pierre Teilhard du 04:21:26.670 --> 04:21:31.530 Chardin taught that the God to be worshipped is the one who will arise out 04:21:31.530 --> 04:21:33.510 of the evolving human race. 04:21:35.470 --> 04:21:39.410 Surely man's desire echoes Lucifer's proud boast. 04:21:39.950 --> 04:21:41.830 The book of Isaiah says of him, 04:21:56.090 --> 04:21:58.410 I will be like the Most High. 04:21:58.730 --> 04:22:00.290 I will, I will, I will. 04:22:00.510 --> 04:22:02.070 This guy is an egomaniac. 04:22:02.970 --> 04:22:04.710 Self-deceived egomaniac. 04:22:04.770 --> 04:22:06.970 I think he really thinks he's going to win the battle with God. 04:22:07.730 --> 04:22:10.490 Anyway, he said I will be like the Most High. 04:22:10.830 --> 04:22:13.090 You've got to be really deluded even to say that. 04:22:13.630 --> 04:22:14.770 That's the impossible dream. 04:22:14.830 --> 04:22:16.170 How many Most Highs can there be? 04:22:17.190 --> 04:22:18.650 You can't have... 04:22:18.650 --> 04:22:21.150 That's why God is called the Most High God. 04:22:21.810 --> 04:22:22.130 Okay? 04:22:22.130 --> 04:22:28.490 Now there are a lot of other pretender gods, but he says to them, Jeremiah 10 04:22:28.490 --> 04:22:31.770 verses 10-11, I'm the true God that created this universe. 04:22:32.450 --> 04:22:40.170 You say to the gods who have not made this heaven and earth, they will perish from 04:22:40.170 --> 04:22:42.290 under this heaven and from this earth. 04:22:42.630 --> 04:22:48.170 So, in that one ambition, I will be like the Most High, Lucifer did away with 04:22:48.170 --> 04:22:53.730 monotheism, one true God, he introduced polytheism. 04:22:54.750 --> 04:22:56.050 There would be many gods. 04:22:56.670 --> 04:22:58.110 Well, I'll be one of them. 04:22:58.370 --> 04:23:00.230 In fact, he's going to be the supreme one. 04:23:00.770 --> 04:23:05.610 Lucifer's desire to be like the Most High God has compelled him to counterfeit the 04:23:05.610 --> 04:23:06.490 things of God. 04:23:06.970 --> 04:23:11.250 It is for this reason that so many similarities exist between the pagan 04:23:11.250 --> 04:23:13.470 religions of the world and Christianity. 04:23:14.570 --> 04:23:18.630 The Virgin Mother goddess cult is perhaps the greatest example of this. 04:23:18.630 --> 04:23:23.490 Bible scholars believe that God's promise in the Garden of Eden concerning the seed 04:23:23.490 --> 04:23:28.010 of the woman as opposed to the seed of the man is the earliest reference to the 04:23:28.010 --> 04:23:28.750 virgin birth. 04:23:29.290 --> 04:23:33.930 It is for this reason that we find so many counterfeit virgin mothers in the pagan 04:23:33.930 --> 04:23:34.530 religions. 04:23:34.950 --> 04:23:39.490 Mothers that look very similar to the paintings of the Virgin Mary holding their 04:23:39.490 --> 04:23:41.890 sons who are often called deliverers. 04:23:42.490 --> 04:23:47.370 In paganism, one of the titles given to the mother goddess figures is the Queen of 04:23:47.370 --> 04:23:52.190 Heaven, a title that Rome has also given to the Catholic Virgin Mary. 04:23:52.790 --> 04:23:57.630 But in the Bible, Mary was never called a queen and nobody ever prayed to her. 04:23:58.190 --> 04:24:03.010 In fact, in the book of Jeremiah, God specifically condemns prayers and 04:24:03.010 --> 04:24:05.430 offerings to the so-called Queen of Heaven. 04:24:06.570 --> 04:24:11.970 This confusion has caused some New Agers to suggest that Christianity is based upon 04:24:11.970 --> 04:24:13.070 pagan doctrines. 04:24:13.070 --> 04:24:18.830 New Age writer David Icke writes that Jesus was born to a virgin, but so was 04:24:18.830 --> 04:24:24.230 Krishna, Buddha, Lao Tse, Confucius, Horus, Ra, Zoroaster, Prometheus, 04:24:24.390 --> 04:24:29.430 Perseus, Apollo, Mercury, Baldur, Quetzalcoatl and far too many others to 04:24:29.430 --> 04:24:29.750 mention. 04:24:32.590 --> 04:24:38.170 But what Icke and New Agers fail to realize is that Satan has for centuries 04:24:38.170 --> 04:24:43.510 been counterfeiting the promise of God concerning a Deliverer, something that God 04:24:43.510 --> 04:24:47.910 promised in the Garden of Eden when he spoke of the seed of the woman that would 04:24:47.910 --> 04:24:49.370 bruise the head of the serpent. 04:24:50.010 --> 04:24:54.050 Just as God laid the foundation for the Messiah through the prophecies of the 04:24:54.050 --> 04:24:59.030 scripture and fulfilled them in Jesus Christ, so Satan has prepared the world 04:24:59.030 --> 04:25:03.290 through the ancient mystery religions for the coming of Antichrist. 04:25:04.070 --> 04:25:07.230 The Greek prefix anti-holds two meanings. 04:25:07.590 --> 04:25:12.170 It means against, but it also means another or in the place of. 04:25:12.750 --> 04:25:16.170 Therefore Antichrist is literally another Christ. 04:25:17.950 --> 04:25:23.210 Teilhard du Chardin who is known as one of the most frequently quoted writers by 04:25:23.210 --> 04:25:29.190 leading New Age occultists defines perhaps better than any the Antichrist prophesied 04:25:29.190 --> 04:25:30.870 throughout the New Age movement. 04:25:31.430 --> 04:25:37.190 Teilhard said, quote, I believe that the Messiah whom we await, whom we all without 04:25:37.190 --> 04:25:43.430 any doubt await, is the universal Christ, that is to say the Christ of evolution. 04:25:44.350 --> 04:25:49.310 Teilhard said, a general convergence of religions upon a universal Christ who 04:25:49.310 --> 04:25:54.310 fundamentally satisfies them all, that seems to me the only possible 04:25:54.310 --> 04:25:59.890 conversion of the world and the only form in which a religion of the future can be 04:25:59.890 --> 04:26:00.550 conceived. 04:26:03.030 --> 04:26:07.990 Teilhard's views have been warmly welcomed by Pope John Paul II who praised the 04:26:07.990 --> 04:26:11.210 wonderful repercussions of his research and investigations. 04:26:11.970 --> 04:26:15.530 The Pope has furthered Teilhard's vision through the ecumenical movement. 04:26:16.150 --> 04:26:20.970 The Pope is the leader of an ecumenical movement like this world has never seen. 04:26:21.510 --> 04:26:25.630 He gathered 160 leaders of the world's 12 major religions there in Assisi. 04:26:26.170 --> 04:26:26.770 Who was there? 04:26:27.170 --> 04:26:31.510 Snake worshippers, literally, some snake worshippers, fire worshippers, 04:26:32.030 --> 04:26:35.590 spiritists, animists, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, North American Indian 04:26:35.590 --> 04:26:36.210 witch doctors. 04:26:36.890 --> 04:26:39.810 They're painting feathers, fetishes and rattles, walking to the microphone, 04:26:39.910 --> 04:26:41.970 you know, to pray for peace. 04:26:42.610 --> 04:26:45.410 And he said, we're all praying to the same God. 04:26:45.550 --> 04:26:48.850 Our prayers are creating a spiritual energy, bringing about a new climate for 04:26:48.850 --> 04:26:49.270 peace. 04:26:49.750 --> 04:26:53.230 So, there is an ecumenical movement. 04:26:54.430 --> 04:26:55.570 It won't just be the Catholics. 04:26:55.750 --> 04:26:58.390 I mean, you can see they're all joining the Catholic Church. 04:26:58.910 --> 04:27:04.010 The ecclesial head of the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury. 04:27:04.250 --> 04:27:06.150 He says, oh, we've got to come back under the Pope. 04:27:06.430 --> 04:27:10.350 Robert Shuler says, what do we have to do to say to the shepherd, how do we come 04:27:10.350 --> 04:27:10.930 home, you know? 04:27:11.450 --> 04:27:14.790 They're all talking about, we've got to acknowledge the leadership of the Pope. 04:27:14.890 --> 04:27:20.290 So, you have this ecumenical movement, and all of them will join under Rome. 04:27:20.490 --> 04:27:25.510 The ecumenical movement has compelled Pope John Paul II to put on the garments of 04:27:25.510 --> 04:27:27.530 paganism in more ways than one. 04:27:27.530 --> 04:27:32.850 The Pope kissed the Muslim Koran, a book that vehemently denies Jesus as the 04:27:32.850 --> 04:27:33.590 Son of God. 04:27:34.010 --> 04:27:38.670 He allowed his friend, the Dalai Lama, to replace the cross with a statue of 04:27:38.670 --> 04:27:44.170 Buddha on the altar of St. Peter's Church in Assisi, and for the Dalai Lama and his 04:27:44.170 --> 04:27:46.990 monks to perform their Buddhist worship there. 04:27:47.490 --> 04:27:50.770 The Pope even received the mark of Shiva on his forehead. 04:27:51.530 --> 04:27:55.290 Shiva is the Hindu god who is called the Lord of Death. 04:27:55.290 --> 04:28:00.030 Disturbing to some researchers is the fact that according to the Satanic Bible, 04:28:00.450 --> 04:28:02.430 Shiva is a synonym for Satan. 04:28:03.630 --> 04:28:07.990 The drive to establish a universal religion has influenced some of the 04:28:07.990 --> 04:28:10.650 highest levels of the Protestant churches as well. 04:28:11.210 --> 04:28:16.150 Two great supporters of Pope John Paul are Robert Schuller, who made a special trip 04:28:16.150 --> 04:28:20.930 to Rome to ask the Pope's blessing on the building plans for his Crystal Cathedral, 04:28:21.270 --> 04:28:25.550 and the Reverend Billy Graham, who has called the Pope the greatest 04:28:25.550 --> 04:28:29.870 religious leader of the modern world and one of the greatest moral and spiritual 04:28:29.870 --> 04:28:31.310 leaders of the century. 04:28:32.830 --> 04:28:36.870 Together, Schuller and Graham, who influence millions of people around 04:28:36.870 --> 04:28:41.170 the world, seem to openly support the Pope's ecumenical movement. 04:28:41.870 --> 04:28:46.650 Listen now and judge in yourself whether the Christ they preach is the Christ of 04:28:46.650 --> 04:28:50.110 the Bible or the universal Christ of the New Age. 04:28:50.870 --> 04:28:53.710 Tell me, what do you think is the future of Christianity? 04:28:55.570 --> 04:29:00.850 Well, Christianity and being a true believer, you know, I think there's the 04:29:00.850 --> 04:29:07.250 body of Christ, which comes from all the Christian groups around the world, 04:29:07.870 --> 04:29:10.270 or outside the Christian groups. 04:29:10.750 --> 04:29:16.910 I think everybody that loves Christ, or knows Christ, whether they're conscious 04:29:16.910 --> 04:29:20.110 of it or not, they're members of the body of Christ. 04:29:20.670 --> 04:29:26.030 And I don't think that we're going to see a great sweeping revival that will turn 04:29:26.030 --> 04:29:28.190 the whole world to Christ at any time. 04:29:28.750 --> 04:29:33.370 I think James answered that, Apostle James, in the first council in Jerusalem, 04:29:33.830 --> 04:29:38.510 when he said that God's purpose for this age is to call out a people for his name. 04:29:38.810 --> 04:29:40.670 And that's what God is doing today. 04:29:40.950 --> 04:29:46.430 He's calling people out of the world for his name, whether they come from the 04:29:46.430 --> 04:29:50.450 Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world, or the 04:29:50.450 --> 04:29:52.810 non-believing world. 04:29:53.930 --> 04:29:57.930 They are members of the body of Christ because they've been called by God. 04:29:58.630 --> 04:30:03.970 They may not even know the name of Jesus, but they know in their heart that they 04:30:03.970 --> 04:30:06.370 need something that they don't have. 04:30:06.670 --> 04:30:09.790 And they turn to the only light that they have. 04:30:09.850 --> 04:30:13.310 And I think that they are saved, and that they're going to be with us in 04:30:13.310 --> 04:30:13.570 heaven. 04:30:13.570 --> 04:30:15.250 This is fantastic. 04:30:15.550 --> 04:30:17.590 I'm so thrilled to hear you say that. 04:30:17.690 --> 04:30:20.590 There's a wideness in God's mercy. 04:30:20.830 --> 04:30:23.910 There's a wideness in God's mercy. 04:30:24.390 --> 04:30:29.290 Jesus said, Wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, 04:30:29.570 --> 04:30:31.950 and many there be who go in that way. 04:30:32.430 --> 04:30:36.310 Because straight is the gate, and narrow the way which leadeth unto life, 04:30:36.590 --> 04:30:38.370 and few there be that find it. 04:30:39.270 --> 04:30:44.310 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are 04:30:44.310 --> 04:30:45.370 ravening wolves. 04:30:46.290 --> 04:30:52.290 The New Age concept is that the many Christs of paganism somehow equal a single 04:30:52.290 --> 04:30:53.870 universal Christ. 04:30:54.570 --> 04:30:58.370 But Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. 04:30:58.690 --> 04:31:01.270 No man comes unto the Father but by me. 04:31:01.670 --> 04:31:03.790 He said, I am the door of the sheep. 04:31:04.210 --> 04:31:07.350 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers. 04:31:08.270 --> 04:31:13.770 The Bible confirms that there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, 04:31:14.110 --> 04:31:19.850 the man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due 04:31:19.850 --> 04:31:20.310 time. 04:31:21.010 --> 04:31:25.770 Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven 04:31:25.770 --> 04:31:28.830 given among men, whereby we must be saved. 04:31:29.710 --> 04:31:33.610 Jesus warned that there shall arise false Christs and false prophets. 04:31:34.210 --> 04:31:39.990 But the Lord says, I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be 04:31:39.990 --> 04:31:40.510 saved. 04:31:42.310 --> 04:31:46.790 When the Lord returns, He will settle the conflict over who is the real Christ. 04:31:47.230 --> 04:31:52.010 The Bible says that at the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, He shall show who 04:31:52.010 --> 04:31:56.430 is the blessed and only potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords. 04:31:57.250 --> 04:32:02.050 The Scripture says that God has exalted Jesus and given Him a name which is above 04:32:02.050 --> 04:32:07.250 every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven 04:32:07.250 --> 04:32:11.370 and things in earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should 04:32:11.370 --> 04:32:16.570 confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father, that if thou 04:32:16.570 --> 04:32:20.570 shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart 04:32:20.570 --> 04:32:23.950 that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 04:32:25.030 --> 04:32:29.370 The person and character of Jesus is at the very heart of the Gospel message. 04:32:29.830 --> 04:32:34.710 Jesus said, and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true 04:32:34.710 --> 04:32:37.770 God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. 04:32:38.410 --> 04:32:43.010 Satan knows this and through the New Age movement has taught millions to trust in 04:32:43.010 --> 04:32:46.810 another Jesus and another Christ, Antichrist. 04:32:47.210 --> 04:32:52.250 The Apostle John writes, Little children, it is the last time and as ye have heard 04:32:52.250 --> 04:32:57.510 that Antichrist shall come, even now there are many Antichrists by which we know that 04:32:57.510 --> 04:32:58.810 it is the last time. 04:33:00.410 --> 04:33:05.770 Antichrist will be the manifestation of Satan's desire to exalt himself above God. 04:33:06.170 --> 04:33:11.670 The Bible says that Antichrist opposes and exalts himself above all that is called 04:33:11.670 --> 04:33:17.290 God or that is worshipped so that he as God sits in the temple of God showing 04:33:17.290 --> 04:33:22.570 himself that he is God and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him whose 04:33:22.570 --> 04:33:24.930 names are not written in the book of life. 04:33:27.530 --> 04:33:32.470 Most researchers believe that the New Age movement combined with the New World Order 04:33:32.470 --> 04:33:37.190 will ultimately unite the world to serve and worship this man of sin. 04:34:28.420 --> 04:34:33.380 Many researchers believe that the time of Antichrist's appearing is nearer now than 04:34:33.380 --> 04:34:38.360 ever before especially since the United Nations has launched a global effort to 04:34:38.360 --> 04:34:42.860 establish a one world religion as revealed by this CBN report. 04:34:43.480 --> 04:34:47.240 Many liberal organizations including the United Nations are pursuing the 04:34:47.240 --> 04:34:49.960 development of a one world religious organization. 04:34:50.580 --> 04:34:54.860 Today, on the United Nations 55th anniversary, CBN News reporter Wendy 04:34:54.860 --> 04:34:59.200 Griffith takes a look at what's behind this push for a global religious voice. 04:35:02.000 --> 04:35:06.460 After a while, the drums, chants and prayers representing many of the world's 04:35:06.460 --> 04:35:11.660 leading religions all started to sound alike, somehow losing their flavor in a 04:35:11.660 --> 04:35:13.540 melting pot of spiritual soup. 04:35:14.080 --> 04:35:17.500 The first ever Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders 04:35:17.500 --> 04:35:19.820 took place at the United Nations in August. 04:35:20.280 --> 04:35:25.180 Some believe it marked the first major step toward a movement to usher in a 04:35:25.180 --> 04:35:29.360 global spiritual body that may one day speak for all religions. 04:35:29.860 --> 04:35:34.080 Robert McGinnis with the Family Research Council says it appears the hidden agenda 04:35:34.080 --> 04:35:38.660 is to unite people under one religious organization so they will peacefully 04:35:38.660 --> 04:35:43.740 accept UN goals such as population control, abortion rights, and one world 04:35:43.740 --> 04:35:44.240 government. 04:35:44.620 --> 04:35:51.980 Instead of all these different gods maybe there's one God who manifests himself and 04:35:51.980 --> 04:35:55.280 reveals himself in different ways to different people. 04:35:55.680 --> 04:35:57.380 You know, what about that, huh? 04:35:57.820 --> 04:36:01.920 CNN founder and billionaire Ted Turner was the honorary chair of the World Religion 04:36:01.920 --> 04:36:02.360 Summit. 04:36:02.880 --> 04:36:07.340 Turner, known for his critical views on biblical Christianity, promoted the New 04:36:07.340 --> 04:36:10.020 Age concept that there are many ways to heaven. 04:36:10.540 --> 04:36:16.840 The thing that disturbed me is that my religious Christian sect was very 04:36:16.840 --> 04:36:17.700 intolerant. 04:36:17.860 --> 04:36:24.620 Not intolerant of religious freedom for other people but they thought that we were 04:36:24.620 --> 04:36:25.960 the only ones going to heaven. 04:36:26.320 --> 04:36:30.120 Supporters of a global religious voice have come down hard on evangelical 04:36:30.120 --> 04:36:33.360 Christians who refuse to adopt their New Age agenda. 04:36:33.800 --> 04:36:38.100 Although the URI says it is not a religion, critics say it does preach a 04:36:38.100 --> 04:36:38.560 theology. 04:36:38.860 --> 04:36:42.580 A theology that teaches acceptance and diversity among all faiths. 04:36:43.040 --> 04:36:46.660 Those who push for a global religious organization believe that all religions, 04:36:46.800 --> 04:36:50.580 while different on the surface, are each valid pathways to God. 04:36:51.640 --> 04:36:56.820 The United Nations is a very interesting and complex body of networking. 04:36:56.980 --> 04:37:03.600 Hundreds and hundreds of New Age groups that are networked together, the political 04:37:03.600 --> 04:37:11.020 activists that want to bring in merging of spiritual ideas. 04:37:11.300 --> 04:37:15.220 And we are warned in the Bible that what is going to happen in order for the world 04:37:15.220 --> 04:37:21.660 to elevate this one person who is going to be a world leader, our spiritual ideas 04:37:21.660 --> 04:37:28.800 have to merge to lift up this person who is going to get mankind to believe that he 04:37:28.800 --> 04:37:33.340 is the Christ, that he is the world leader. 04:37:33.980 --> 04:37:38.940 The United Nations is part of that conditioning process. 04:37:39.620 --> 04:37:45.780 The whole point of unifying spiritually is to globalize a sort of one world religion. 04:37:46.080 --> 04:37:54.420 To have the idea that through a united mind, through a like-minded mind 04:37:54.420 --> 04:37:59.860 consciousness, mankind can evolve to God consciousness. 04:38:01.240 --> 04:38:07.320 But what is the influence for this mind consciousness, this united mind that will 04:38:07.320 --> 04:38:08.600 bring the world together? 04:38:10.020 --> 04:38:16.280 The Bible foretells of ten kings that will one day rule the world, saying that these 04:38:16.280 --> 04:38:20.940 have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 04:38:22.640 --> 04:38:26.960 Researchers argue that the chief influence behind the United Nations is an 04:38:26.960 --> 04:38:32.540 organization known as the Theosophical Society, considered by some to be the most 04:38:32.540 --> 04:38:36.120 powerful occult organization in the modern world. 04:38:36.480 --> 04:38:40.800 The Theosophical Society has had more influence on the United Nations than any 04:38:40.800 --> 04:38:45.340 other religious society, whether you would call it Christian or occult. 04:38:45.700 --> 04:38:51.420 The House of Theosophy, as it is called, was founded by a woman known as Madame H 04:38:51.420 --> 04:38:51.660 .P. 04:38:51.780 --> 04:38:52.340 Blavatsky. 04:38:53.300 --> 04:38:59.500 Madame Blavatsky was a mystic and she had truly supernatural power. 04:38:59.640 --> 04:39:01.380 She had a tremendous impact on people. 04:39:01.760 --> 04:39:05.500 She was able to recruit many of the world's leading people into her 04:39:05.500 --> 04:39:09.980 organization, people like Arthur Colin Doyle, who wrote the great stories about 04:39:09.980 --> 04:39:11.360 Sherlock Holmes. 04:39:11.780 --> 04:39:16.960 Thomas Edison was one of her disciples, as was William Stead, who was one of the 04:39:16.960 --> 04:39:22.280 four original members of the secret society Cecil Rhodes created, which became 04:39:22.280 --> 04:39:23.800 the Council on Foreign Relations. 04:39:24.300 --> 04:39:30.140 Many key people, you know, in the 19th century joined Theosophy, as in the 20th 04:39:30.140 --> 04:39:36.460 century Margaret Sanger and Adolf Hitler were disciples of Theosophy, as are people 04:39:36.460 --> 04:39:42.980 like Robert Mueller, who for many years was the Assistant Secretary General of the 04:39:42.980 --> 04:39:48.260 United Nations, because the major driving force behind the idea of the United 04:39:48.260 --> 04:39:51.100 Nations and world government is the occult. 04:39:54.660 --> 04:40:00.640 In 1888, Blavatsky published her now famous work, The Secret Doctrine, 04:40:01.060 --> 04:40:05.000 a book revered by occult practitioners all over the world. 04:40:05.720 --> 04:40:10.340 Adolf Hitler reportedly slept with a copy of this book at his bedside. 04:40:11.100 --> 04:40:15.800 Blavatsky subtitled the work, The Synthesis of Science, Religion and 04:40:15.800 --> 04:40:16.380 Philosophy. 04:40:16.380 --> 04:40:22.240 The Secret Doctrine is filled with ancient mystery wisdom that more than a century 04:40:22.240 --> 04:40:26.220 later continues to hold New Age readers spellbound. 04:40:26.960 --> 04:40:32.200 There's no way that a girl with a 6th or 7th grade education could possibly have 04:40:32.200 --> 04:40:32.580 written this. 04:40:32.980 --> 04:40:39.080 These volumes were channeled to her by a demonic spirit she called Kuthumi, 04:40:39.800 --> 04:40:46.420 and she actually traveled to Tibet, to India, and she claims that she actually 04:40:46.420 --> 04:40:49.060 went to Tibet and actually met her master there. 04:40:49.440 --> 04:40:54.620 Kuthumi is the name given to a Tibetan spirit master who was Blavatsky's teacher 04:40:54.620 --> 04:40:55.800 in her lifetime. 04:40:56.700 --> 04:41:01.080 Blavatsky is pictured here with some of the masters or spirit beings she communed 04:41:01.080 --> 04:41:02.180 with and admired. 04:41:02.640 --> 04:41:05.640 Kuthumi, El Morya and Saint Germain. 04:41:06.280 --> 04:41:10.920 Under the mysterious orders of such spirits, Blavatsky's mission was to bring 04:41:10.920 --> 04:41:15.560 a philosophical understanding to unexplained phenomena, such as the 04:41:15.560 --> 04:41:20.280 mysterious wrappings and other spirit communication that had been occurring in 04:41:20.280 --> 04:41:20.800 the West. 04:41:21.520 --> 04:41:26.280 Blavatsky maintained that spiritualistic phenomena without the philosophy of 04:41:26.280 --> 04:41:28.980 occultism were dangerous and misleading. 04:41:29.860 --> 04:41:34.480 For this apparent reason, the spirit beings directly commanded Blavatsky to 04:41:34.480 --> 04:41:36.640 begin the Theosophical Society. 04:41:37.240 --> 04:41:42.680 The official website of the Society in Adyar, India says that the Theosophical 04:41:42.680 --> 04:41:46.200 Society may be said to have begun when H. 04:41:46.300 --> 04:41:53.260 P. Blavatsky, under orders of the masters, returned from India in 1871 to found an 04:41:53.260 --> 04:41:58.200 organization through which the West and the world in general would be instructed 04:41:58.200 --> 04:41:59.960 in true spirituality. 04:42:00.840 --> 04:42:07.580 The official birthday of the Society came four years later in 1875 with a formal 04:42:07.580 --> 04:42:09.580 declaration from Henry S. 04:42:09.740 --> 04:42:13.560 Alcott, the president and co-founder of the organization. 04:42:14.260 --> 04:42:19.220 Blavatsky's House of Theosophy would formalize what began as the New Thought 04:42:19.220 --> 04:42:24.220 Movement into a religious system that would dramatically change the Western view 04:42:24.220 --> 04:42:26.980 of God and his relationship to mankind. 04:42:27.840 --> 04:42:33.320 While early America recognized the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the only path to 04:42:33.320 --> 04:42:39.060 salvation, Theosophical teachings argued for the essential oneness of all religions 04:42:39.060 --> 04:42:42.220 and the omnipresence of Divine Spirit. 04:42:43.960 --> 04:42:49.780 Theosophy declares that it was formed upon the basis of a universal brotherhood of 04:42:49.780 --> 04:42:50.400 humanity. 04:42:54.160 --> 04:42:58.500 Yet Blavatsky would teach far more than a universal brotherhood. 04:42:58.900 --> 04:43:03.600 She would take the New Thought Movement to the next dimension, fully exposing the 04:43:03.600 --> 04:43:06.500 source of its power in her voluminous writings. 04:43:07.240 --> 04:43:12.660 These volumes were channeled to her, and they're very, very complex and very 04:43:12.660 --> 04:43:17.920 erudite, but if you read them you'll find out that she has rejected the God of the 04:43:17.920 --> 04:43:19.780 Bible and embraced Lucifer. 04:43:20.480 --> 04:43:22.300 And she's quite open about that. 04:43:22.460 --> 04:43:29.760 She did emphasize Satan as being the true God, and Satan beckoning Adam and Eve to 04:43:29.760 --> 04:43:30.720 partake of the fruits. 04:43:30.720 --> 04:43:35.580 He was really turning them on to true Godhood, and he's the one who really freed 04:43:35.580 --> 04:43:37.260 the human race in Blavatsky's teaching. 04:43:37.620 --> 04:43:43.600 According to Blavatsky, Satan was in fact God, while Jehovah, the God of the Bible, 04:43:43.940 --> 04:43:46.900 was the real devil and enemy of mankind. 04:43:47.600 --> 04:43:53.560 Blavatsky wrote that the appellation Satan belongs by right to the first and cruelest 04:43:53.560 --> 04:43:59.860 adversary of all other gods, Jehovah, not to the serpent which spoke only words 04:43:59.860 --> 04:44:01.460 of sympathy and wisdom. 04:44:02.920 --> 04:44:07.160 Elsewhere she writes that Satan, the serpent of Genesis, is the real 04:44:07.160 --> 04:44:13.300 creator and benefactor, the father of spiritual mankind, for it is he who opened 04:44:13.300 --> 04:44:16.900 the eyes of the automaton Adam, created by Jehovah. 04:44:18.280 --> 04:44:24.040 In the secret doctrine, she says, in antiquity and reality, Lucifer, 04:44:24.220 --> 04:44:29.920 or Luciferous, is the name of the angelic entity presiding over the light of truth 04:44:29.920 --> 04:44:32.160 as over the light of the day. 04:44:33.280 --> 04:44:39.320 Lucifer is divine and terrestrial light, the Holy Ghost and Satan at one and the 04:44:39.320 --> 04:44:40.160 same time. 04:44:41.240 --> 04:44:46.500 And now it stands proven, she says, that Satan, or the red fiery dragon, 04:44:46.820 --> 04:44:51.280 the Lord of Phosphorus, and Lucifer, or Lightbearer, is in us. 04:44:51.620 --> 04:44:59.200 It is our mind, our tempter and redeemer, our intelligent liberator and savior from 04:44:59.200 --> 04:45:00.580 pure animalism. 04:45:01.640 --> 04:45:06.760 There were demons that channeled her writings to her, and of course she wrote 04:45:06.760 --> 04:45:12.380 about world government, the importance of world government, and the idea that 04:45:13.520 --> 04:45:18.840 mankind, at least Western civilization, began with the Aryan, and the Aryan came 04:45:18.840 --> 04:45:19.620 out of Tibet. 04:45:20.420 --> 04:45:24.400 And of course, if you've ever read anything about Adolf Hitler and Heinrich 04:45:24.400 --> 04:45:28.480 Himmler, why they actually sent expeditions to Tibet, looking for the 04:45:28.480 --> 04:45:29.920 origins of Aryan man. 04:45:30.220 --> 04:45:36.160 And there were strong ties between the SS, and this whole idea of this Superman that 04:45:36.160 --> 04:45:39.240 they were trying to create, and the writings of Madame Blavatsky. 04:45:40.160 --> 04:45:45.740 The entire basis of the Nazi movement was founded on theosophy and her writings, 04:45:46.060 --> 04:45:51.000 and of course the symbol that she used, the swastika, is what Adolf Hitler used as 04:45:51.000 --> 04:45:52.460 the symbol of the Nazi movement. 04:45:52.660 --> 04:45:56.240 But the average individual does not understand the relationships between 04:45:56.240 --> 04:46:00.740 Madame Blavatsky's writing, and her worship of Lucifer, and her accessing the 04:46:00.740 --> 04:46:04.400 other dimensions, and what happened in Germany, and Adolf Hitler. 04:46:07.460 --> 04:46:12.840 Time magazine did a whole thing on the New Age movement with crystals, and talking 04:46:12.840 --> 04:46:15.860 about all the different New Age phenomena that became very popular in the 80s, 04:46:15.920 --> 04:46:18.060 and is still with us to this day. 04:46:18.180 --> 04:46:23.100 And Shirley MacLaine was on the front cover, holding the crystals, and in that 04:46:23.100 --> 04:46:27.460 piece they talked about, in the introduction to that piece, they talked 04:46:27.460 --> 04:46:30.840 about how we don't know where the term New Age came from, or where it's going. 04:46:31.340 --> 04:46:34.480 Well, the Bible tells us, Jesus said, in the last days there would be this 04:46:34.480 --> 04:46:38.660 religious movement which would be saying the time draws near, which would be 04:46:38.660 --> 04:46:43.540 predicting a new age, which would have its basis in satanic or false miracles, 04:46:43.940 --> 04:46:45.620 which is what the New Age movement is all about. 04:46:45.620 --> 04:46:47.140 So we know where it's going. 04:46:49.500 --> 04:46:55.000 In 1904, a man named Aleister Crowley channeled a spirit who inspired a series 04:46:55.000 --> 04:46:57.360 of writings known as the Book of the Law. 04:46:57.980 --> 04:47:01.860 According to the introduction of the work, the book was dictated in Cairo, 04:47:02.060 --> 04:47:04.200 Egypt, between noon and 1 p.m. 04:47:04.220 --> 04:47:06.060 on three successive days. 04:47:06.520 --> 04:47:11.520 The author, a demonic spirit, called himself Aiwas, and claimed to be a 04:47:11.520 --> 04:47:15.180 messenger from the forces ruling this earth at present. 04:47:16.540 --> 04:47:21.780 This description is quite revealing since Jesus referred to Satan as the prince or 04:47:21.780 --> 04:47:23.240 ruler of this world. 04:47:23.840 --> 04:47:27.780 Satan is also called the god of this world by the Apostle Paul. 04:47:28.320 --> 04:47:33.340 In this Book of the Law, Crowley set down the chief principle for what he called the 04:47:33.340 --> 04:47:34.180 New Eon. 04:47:34.600 --> 04:47:38.260 He wrote, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. 04:47:38.660 --> 04:47:41.420 There is no law beyond do what thou wilt. 04:47:43.680 --> 04:47:48.360 This declaration is in contrast to the example of Christ in the Bible. 04:47:49.120 --> 04:47:54.980 In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, Father, not as I will but as thou wilt, 04:47:55.300 --> 04:47:56.580 in obedience to God. 04:47:57.800 --> 04:48:03.460 But in the Book of the Law, Crowley turns the tables and teaches men, not as God 04:48:03.460 --> 04:48:06.240 wills but rather do what thou wilt. 04:48:07.480 --> 04:48:13.680 This promotion of self-will that so often leads to self- empowerment is perhaps the 04:48:13.680 --> 04:48:20.240 climax of man's desire to be his own God, to rule over himself rather than live in 04:48:20.240 --> 04:48:22.780 obedience to the God who created him. 04:48:24.520 --> 04:48:31.240 Jesus said, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross 04:48:31.240 --> 04:48:32.180 and follow me. 04:48:32.900 --> 04:48:37.920 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it and whosoever will lose his life 04:48:37.920 --> 04:48:40.120 for my sake shall find it. 04:48:41.820 --> 04:48:46.820 Having thoroughly rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ, Aleister Crowley would earn 04:48:46.820 --> 04:48:50.580 the title of the wickedest man in the world by the London newspapers. 04:48:51.160 --> 04:48:56.200 The British media exposed his bizarre satanic rituals at the mysterious Abbey 04:48:56.200 --> 04:48:57.580 Thelema in Sicily. 04:48:58.100 --> 04:49:04.240 On one occasion, a man named Raoul Loveday died from drinking poisoned cat's blood at 04:49:04.240 --> 04:49:05.240 Crowley's command. 04:49:06.140 --> 04:49:10.880 Loveday's widow returned to London and exposed Crowley's wicked behavior to the 04:49:10.880 --> 04:49:11.360 world. 04:49:12.340 --> 04:49:16.640 When he was a child, Crowley's own mother referred to him as the Beast. 04:49:17.200 --> 04:49:19.420 According to Crowley researcher James W. 04:49:19.540 --> 04:49:24.260 Rivack, he quickly identified with the title and for the rest of his life he 04:49:24.260 --> 04:49:29.120 viewed himself as the Beast of the Apocalypse, the enemy of Christianity. 04:49:30.720 --> 04:49:35.940 Like all New Age adherents past and present, Crowley revered the serpent's lie 04:49:35.940 --> 04:49:36.980 from the Garden of Eden. 04:49:37.300 --> 04:49:42.100 He wrote, This serpent, Satan, is not the enemy of man, but he who made 04:49:42.100 --> 04:49:44.940 gods of our race, knowing good and evil. 04:49:45.400 --> 04:49:48.440 He bade know thyself and taught initiation. 04:49:50.560 --> 04:49:55.640 Through the 20th century, the influence of this black magician and professing 04:49:55.640 --> 04:50:00.380 Satanist upon popular culture has compelled some researchers to consider him 04:50:00.380 --> 04:50:03.400 the real father of the modern New Age movement. 04:50:07.740 --> 04:50:12.140 Well, he's basically not only the father of modern Satanism, and the most highly 04:50:12.140 --> 04:50:17.140 regarded Satanist of the last century, he is also the father of the modern New 04:50:17.140 --> 04:50:21.740 Age movement, which is extensive around the Western world today. 04:50:22.420 --> 04:50:26.720 I won't say he single-handedly ushered in the New Age movement, but he more so than 04:50:26.720 --> 04:50:31.320 any other human being was instrumental in the popularization of the New Age 04:50:31.320 --> 04:50:31.660 movement. 04:50:32.620 --> 04:50:35.960 Altered states of consciousness, trying to make altered states of 04:50:35.960 --> 04:50:40.940 consciousness scientific, through whether it be hallucinogens and seeing reality 04:50:40.940 --> 04:50:48.400 different and using the comparisons of a microscope and a, you know, looking into a 04:50:48.400 --> 04:50:52.740 different reality on a spiritual level, whether it was drugs, whether it was 04:50:52.740 --> 04:50:57.940 astrology, or the practice of ritual magic, whether it was sex magic, 04:50:58.420 --> 04:51:04.780 whether it was his ideas of world unity through magic and so forth. 04:51:05.200 --> 04:51:10.240 All these are very popular through the 1960s and after that in ushering in what 04:51:10.240 --> 04:51:11.600 today is called the New Age movement. 04:51:12.720 --> 04:51:16.320 But he was very, very powerful as far as, I mean, more so than anybody. 04:51:16.940 --> 04:51:22.660 Satanists will admit that Aleister Crowley was the Satanist of the 20th century. 04:51:22.880 --> 04:51:27.800 Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan, which was more notorious than Aleister 04:51:27.800 --> 04:51:33.440 Crowley's group, would simply pop Satanism to many serious Satanists. 04:51:45.480 --> 04:51:50.280 And even Anton LaVey's group, I mean, Anton LaVey's library was chock full of 04:51:50.280 --> 04:51:51.180 Aleister Crowley's books. 04:51:51.920 --> 04:51:56.100 The co-founder of the Church of Satan with Anton LaVey, Kenneth Enger, was an avowed 04:51:56.100 --> 04:51:58.880 Satanist who was a follower of Aleister Crowley. 04:51:58.880 --> 04:52:03.360 And many of his works, Invocation to My Demon Brother, Lucifer Rising, 04:52:03.520 --> 04:52:08.060 and so forth, videos that he made in the late 60s extolling Satanism, were all 04:52:08.060 --> 04:52:12.800 about Aleister Crowley unveiling a, you know, a picture of Crowley that's 04:52:12.800 --> 04:52:13.880 worshipped and so forth. 04:52:14.820 --> 04:52:20.940 So, in regard to Satanism, his name comes up over and over again in Satanic music 04:52:20.940 --> 04:52:21.600 and so forth. 04:52:21.960 --> 04:52:26.160 But even more importantly in regard to the New Age movement, in the early 1900s 04:52:26.160 --> 04:52:27.960 Aleister Crowley was talking about the New Eon. 04:52:28.420 --> 04:52:32.040 Ionis is a Greek word for age, and the New Eon being the New Age. 04:52:32.660 --> 04:52:38.540 And what's interesting about Crowley's emphasis on the New Age, it had everything 04:52:38.540 --> 04:52:40.920 to do with what became popular in the 1960s. 04:52:41.160 --> 04:52:45.700 In his shocking 10-hour documentary, They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll, 04:52:46.140 --> 04:52:50.980 Pastor Joe Schimmel exposes the role of music in furthering the New Age through 04:52:50.980 --> 04:52:56.060 the 1960s counterculture movement, and reveals Aleister Crowley as the patron 04:52:56.060 --> 04:52:57.760 saint of rock musicians. 04:52:58.600 --> 04:53:02.780 I can't think of any other cultist who's been more influential on rock musicians 04:53:02.780 --> 04:53:04.280 than Aleister Crowley, no one close. 04:53:05.720 --> 04:53:10.200 London Times called Crowley the unsung hero of the 1960s. 04:53:10.660 --> 04:53:15.580 In fact, if you look at the 1960s counterculture leaders, John Lennon, 04:53:16.300 --> 04:53:19.620 he said his whole philosophy was, and he quoted Aleister Crowley's axiom, 04:53:19.700 --> 04:53:23.540 do what thou wilt, was the whole Beatles philosophy, he said, in his interviews 04:53:23.540 --> 04:53:25.620 before his death, death was do what thou wilt. 04:53:26.120 --> 04:53:28.020 And they put their heroes up on Sgt. 04:53:28.080 --> 04:53:30.240 Pepper's Only Hearts Club Band album, and who did they place there? 04:53:30.800 --> 04:53:31.600 Aleister Crowley. 04:53:32.220 --> 04:53:36.880 In fact, that whole album, as we show in our rockumentary, was basically a tribute 04:53:36.880 --> 04:53:40.660 to Crowley's new eon, along with their satanic majesty's request by the Stones 04:53:40.660 --> 04:53:42.740 that the Beatles put out with Sgt. 04:53:42.840 --> 04:53:43.040 Pepper. 04:53:43.180 --> 04:53:45.620 In fact, we make a really clear case for Sgt. 04:53:45.700 --> 04:53:47.500 Pepper being Crowley. 04:53:47.600 --> 04:53:51.420 In fact, Crowley died 20 years before that album came out, and of course, 04:53:51.540 --> 04:53:53.600 the song 20 years ago today, Sgt. 04:53:53.700 --> 04:53:55.020 Pepper taught the band to play. 04:53:55.740 --> 04:53:58.680 It was 20 years ago today Sgt. 04:53:58.720 --> 04:54:03.840 Pepper taught the band to play It's quite interesting because not only was Lennon 04:54:03.840 --> 04:54:08.660 and the Beatles into Aleister Crowley, but we show the Rolling Stones and how 04:54:08.660 --> 04:54:13.240 they were into Crowley, and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards helping out with even 04:54:13.240 --> 04:54:20.160 Kenneth Anger's movies, pushing Aleister Crowley's satanism in Lucifer Rising and 04:54:20.160 --> 04:54:20.640 so forth. 04:54:21.000 --> 04:54:23.940 So you have the Stones, you have the Beatles, the two biggest rock bands of the 04:54:23.940 --> 04:54:25.260 1960s. 04:54:25.540 --> 04:54:28.740 You have Jim Morrison with a bust of Aleister Crowley, the biggest American 04:54:28.740 --> 04:54:31.240 rock idol of the 60s on his album 13. 04:54:31.820 --> 04:54:32.740 We can go on and on. 04:54:33.340 --> 04:54:37.840 Led Zeppelin the biggest band of the 1970s, Jimmy Page buying Aleister 04:54:37.840 --> 04:54:42.860 Crowley's mansion, overlooking Loch Ness, being full on into Aleister Crowley, 04:54:43.340 --> 04:54:49.200 using implements of his temple on the Presence album on the front cover as 04:54:49.200 --> 04:54:54.240 Crowley talked about in his books on Ritual Magic and even down to his symbol, 04:54:54.420 --> 04:55:01.000 Zoso, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, which is really Sol spelled forward and 04:55:01.000 --> 04:55:02.820 Sol spelled backwards of the solar god. 04:55:03.260 --> 04:55:08.060 Sol was S-O-L, the god or Satan in Crowley's books. 04:55:08.120 --> 04:55:09.860 It was another symbol of Satan, S-O-L. 04:55:10.140 --> 04:55:15.640 And that was Jimmy Page's occult symbol that he used that nobody could decipher. 04:55:16.700 --> 04:55:21.720 And recently in Rolling Stone Magazine interview in 2002, they all came out and 04:55:21.720 --> 04:55:24.320 said what their symbol meant, except Page still wouldn't come out and say what it 04:55:24.320 --> 04:55:24.640 meant. 04:55:25.220 --> 04:55:27.040 Crowley said to write backwards and forward. 04:55:27.400 --> 04:55:30.840 If you look at that symbol closely, it's Sol forward and backwards. 04:55:31.800 --> 04:55:37.100 So that's still not known to even the rock world what that symbol was, but Jimmy Page 04:55:37.100 --> 04:55:42.360 has admitted being an admirer of Crowley practicing Crowley's magic for power and 04:55:42.360 --> 04:55:42.880 so forth. 04:55:43.040 --> 04:55:44.340 And they became very powerful. 04:55:45.340 --> 04:55:48.460 These bands sold their soul for rock and roll, so to speak. 04:56:35.500 --> 04:56:40.900 This chilling song performed by Crowley disciple Ozzy Osbourne is said to reveal 04:56:40.900 --> 04:56:43.360 perhaps the darkest side of the New Age. 04:56:43.760 --> 04:56:47.980 In the latter half of the song, listen as Osbourne calls upon Crowley, 04:56:48.320 --> 04:56:51.320 known as the Great Beast, to ride his white horse. 04:56:51.980 --> 04:56:55.540 Schimmel and others believe this to be symbolic of the coming Antichrist, 04:56:55.920 --> 04:56:58.300 known as the first horseman of the apocalypse. 04:56:58.960 --> 04:57:03.180 In the book of Revelation we read, And I saw, and behold, a white horse, 04:57:03.300 --> 04:57:07.380 and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him, 04:57:07.580 --> 04:57:09.880 and he went forth, conquering and to conquer. 04:57:10.640 --> 04:57:15.440 In his writings, Aleister Crowley would refer to Antichrist as the crowned and 04:57:15.440 --> 04:57:18.120 conquering child, the lord of the eon. 04:58:00.980 --> 04:58:04.540 Standing with their backs to the wall is a key phrase in this song. 04:58:05.100 --> 04:58:09.380 Some researchers believe it denotes the mass murder of those who refuse to worship 04:58:09.380 --> 04:58:10.740 the New Age Christ. 04:58:11.480 --> 04:58:14.780 Standing with their backs to the wall, awaiting execution. 04:58:15.360 --> 04:58:17.240 And ultimately that's where all this is leading. 04:58:17.520 --> 04:58:19.420 I mean, it's all about peace and love on the outside. 04:58:19.860 --> 04:58:24.880 When all comes down, there's going to be a brutal leader that will emerge who Crowley 04:58:25.680 --> 04:58:30.280 was forthright enough to talk about in his books and talk about this blood bath that 04:58:30.280 --> 04:58:34.280 would come when Christians would be put to death in the establishment of the New 04:58:34.280 --> 04:58:34.720 World Order. 04:58:34.960 --> 04:58:39.280 But is this merely the radical view of a drug-crazed Satanist like Aleister 04:58:39.280 --> 04:58:39.860 Crowley? 04:58:40.320 --> 04:58:44.680 Or is there, as many suggest, a global effort at work? 04:58:45.680 --> 04:58:50.800 We remind the viewer that the 20th century is without question the bloodiest in man's 04:58:50.800 --> 04:58:51.160 history. 04:58:51.760 --> 04:58:57.600 Some 170 million lives were lost to Nazism, Communism, and the various killing 04:58:57.600 --> 04:59:01.000 fields of the world because of the darkness in the hearts of men. 04:59:01.580 --> 04:59:06.960 The Bible warns that the heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately 04:59:06.960 --> 04:59:07.380 wicked. 04:59:07.740 --> 04:59:08.540 Who can know it? 04:59:09.400 --> 04:59:13.280 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, including murder. 04:59:18.570 --> 04:59:23.470 Next we turn to the town of Elberton, Georgia, the granite capital of the world. 04:59:24.530 --> 04:59:30.350 Elberton is famous for its production of tombstones, exporting some 250,000 04:59:30.350 --> 04:59:32.070 tombstones every year. 04:59:32.550 --> 04:59:37.750 Oddly enough, the town that makes a living through death is also the home of what 04:59:37.750 --> 04:59:41.150 some consider the most threatening monument in America. 04:59:41.710 --> 04:59:46.770 A monument that some believe is a symbol for the coming Holocaust, promoting a 04:59:46.770 --> 04:59:49.610 depopulation effort at a massive scale. 04:59:50.930 --> 04:59:55.850 It was back in 1979 when a stranger came to Elberton, Georgia. 04:59:55.850 --> 05:00:00.250 Now, Elberton, Georgia is on the eastern part of Georgia, very close to the South 05:00:00.250 --> 05:00:01.550 Carolina border. 05:00:02.150 --> 05:00:08.210 And this stranger said that he was part of a secret group and they wanted to build a 05:00:08.210 --> 05:00:10.030 great granite monument. 05:00:10.210 --> 05:00:13.470 This was done by a guy, we have a pseudonym, came in, paid cash, 05:00:13.530 --> 05:00:15.210 had this company, set these things up in 1980. 05:00:15.990 --> 05:00:16.890 Called himself R.C. 05:00:16.970 --> 05:00:18.850 Christian, but that's not his real name. 05:00:18.890 --> 05:00:20.290 It says right on the stones, a pseudonym. 05:00:20.550 --> 05:00:23.530 Nobody knows his real name because that isn't his real name. 05:00:23.530 --> 05:00:28.070 Nobody knows who put the money up other than this fictional individual. 05:00:28.590 --> 05:00:31.310 Nobody knows what secret group he represents. 05:00:31.970 --> 05:00:36.230 Of course, Elberton mines granite, they make tombstones there. 05:00:36.750 --> 05:00:39.290 And they have the facilities to mine the granite. 05:00:39.690 --> 05:00:43.510 But he gave very, very specific directions as to how this was to be built. 05:00:43.730 --> 05:00:47.730 So that it would always be aligned in certain ways, so you'd always be able to 05:00:47.730 --> 05:00:52.070 see the north star, so it would be aligned with the moon and with the various phases 05:00:52.070 --> 05:00:52.790 of the sun. 05:00:53.910 --> 05:00:57.790 And very, very similar to the Stonehenge that they have in England. 05:00:58.130 --> 05:01:00.530 So the Stonehenge was a druidic monument. 05:01:00.690 --> 05:01:04.590 This was to be the American Stonehenge, or it's known as the Georgia Guidestones. 05:01:05.150 --> 05:01:09.890 And on each one of the Guidestones is this message in a different language. 05:01:10.010 --> 05:01:11.850 Actually, eight different languages. 05:01:13.150 --> 05:01:16.030 Are the ten commandments that come from the dark side. 05:01:16.570 --> 05:01:21.810 And the first one is maintain the world population at 500 million in constant 05:01:21.810 --> 05:01:26.150 balance with nature, which doesn't sound too bad until you realize that we've got 05:01:26.150 --> 05:01:27.750 over 6 billion people in the world. 05:01:28.110 --> 05:01:31.850 And if we're going to maintain the world population at 500 million in constant 05:01:31.850 --> 05:01:37.150 balance with nature, we're going to have to kill off about 90% or more of the 05:01:37.150 --> 05:01:38.050 world's population. 05:01:39.170 --> 05:01:41.810 I went there and looked at those things and said, now hold on a minute. 05:01:42.450 --> 05:01:44.570 Today's population is 6 billion. 05:01:45.130 --> 05:01:48.330 They want to maintain humanity under one half billion. 05:01:49.890 --> 05:01:52.890 Looks like a lot of people got to die for their plan to work. 05:01:53.850 --> 05:01:54.750 Which is, by the way, the plan. 05:01:55.230 --> 05:01:58.530 Jacques Cousteau said we'd have to eliminate 350,000 people a day. 05:01:59.170 --> 05:02:02.630 A third of a million people a day would have to be eliminated to save Mother 05:02:02.630 --> 05:02:03.050 Earth. 05:02:03.830 --> 05:02:07.050 Bill Clinton said we need to reduce the population of the Earth to 1 billion. 05:02:07.650 --> 05:02:09.970 There are a lot of folks who would like to reduce the population of the Earth. 05:02:11.730 --> 05:02:15.870 Aleister Crowley taught that a global massacre would be necessary to bring about 05:02:15.870 --> 05:02:16.770 the new age. 05:02:17.150 --> 05:02:22.230 He wrote, there is a magical operation of maximum importance, the initiation of a 05:02:22.230 --> 05:02:23.030 new eon. 05:02:23.470 --> 05:02:28.370 When it becomes necessary to utter a word, the whole planet must be bathed in blood. 05:02:29.450 --> 05:02:34.450 Before man is ready to accept the law of Thelema, or will, the great war must be 05:02:34.450 --> 05:02:34.770 fought. 05:02:35.370 --> 05:02:39.690 This bloody sacrifice is the critical point of the world's ceremony of the 05:02:39.690 --> 05:02:43.290 crowned and conquering child as lord of the eon. 05:02:44.750 --> 05:02:49.870 This initiation takes place to remove Christians who are considered the primary 05:02:49.870 --> 05:02:52.990 obstacle to world unity under Antichrist. 05:02:55.410 --> 05:03:00.990 A magazine called the Omega Letter says that there is only one obstacle to world 05:03:00.990 --> 05:03:02.250 unity, Christianity. 05:03:03.390 --> 05:03:08.110 It goes on to say that Christianity claims supernatural knowledge and divine 05:03:08.110 --> 05:03:11.470 revelation and therefore should not be tolerated. 05:03:13.210 --> 05:03:17.350 Gus Hall, the former leader of the Communist Party in America said, 05:03:17.750 --> 05:03:22.070 I dream of a time when the last congressman is strangled to death on the 05:03:22.070 --> 05:03:23.310 guts of the last preacher. 05:03:23.830 --> 05:03:27.530 And since the Christians love to sing about the blood, why not give them a 05:03:27.530 --> 05:03:28.130 little of it? 05:03:29.930 --> 05:03:34.790 A New Age group calling itself SolarQuestors writes, these are wondrous 05:03:34.790 --> 05:03:39.610 times because the world has gone through this terrific experience as it spins 05:03:39.610 --> 05:03:43.850 slowly back to its rightful orbit in the position that it should be in the heavens. 05:03:44.510 --> 05:03:48.890 And as this happens, more and more, more comfort and well-being will come upon 05:03:48.890 --> 05:03:49.550 this world. 05:03:49.830 --> 05:03:53.310 And those who hinder will be removed, liquidated. 05:03:53.730 --> 05:03:56.590 They must be wiped clean off the face of the Earth. 05:03:58.830 --> 05:04:03.330 Ruth Montgomery, sometimes referred to as the Herald of the New Age said, 05:04:03.830 --> 05:04:06.090 millions will survive and millions won't. 05:04:06.510 --> 05:04:11.510 Those who won't will go into the spirit state because there is truly no death. 05:04:13.410 --> 05:04:18.050 The authors of a New Age pamphlet titled Cosmic Countdown claim to have received 05:04:18.050 --> 05:04:19.770 messages from a higher intelligence. 05:04:20.430 --> 05:04:24.930 The pamphlet says, the world should be forewarned to be on the lookout for the 05:04:24.930 --> 05:04:26.550 decimation of populations. 05:04:27.370 --> 05:04:32.070 These peoples will eventually be replaced by the new root race about to make its 05:04:32.070 --> 05:04:34.370 appearance in a newly cleansed world. 05:04:35.650 --> 05:04:40.230 But perhaps the most disturbing comments come from New Age author Barbara Marks 05:04:40.230 --> 05:04:40.550 Hubbard. 05:04:41.150 --> 05:04:45.990 Researchers John Ankerberg and John Weldon report that due to her vast financial 05:04:45.990 --> 05:04:50.170 wealth and influence among leading world politicians and industrialists, 05:04:50.510 --> 05:04:53.110 she is having a major impact behind the scenes. 05:04:53.350 --> 05:04:57.270 She has been influenced by spirits for almost two decades. 05:04:58.570 --> 05:05:03.690 In her book titled Happy Birthday Planet Earth, Hubbard wrote the choice is, 05:05:04.030 --> 05:05:09.370 do you wish to become a natural Christ, a universal human, or do you wish to die? 05:05:09.990 --> 05:05:12.770 People will either change or die, she says. 05:05:13.050 --> 05:05:14.070 That is the choice. 05:05:15.410 --> 05:05:18.410 Hubbard says, there have always been defective seeds. 05:05:18.770 --> 05:05:21.970 In the past, they were permitted to die a natural death. 05:05:22.570 --> 05:05:27.150 We, the elders, have been patiently waiting to take action to cut out this 05:05:27.150 --> 05:05:30.550 corrupted and corrupting element in the body of humanity. 05:05:31.710 --> 05:05:35.050 Hubbard's spirit guides gave her a vision of things to come. 05:05:35.490 --> 05:05:39.310 They told her that out of the full spectrum of human personality, 05:05:39.710 --> 05:05:42.010 one-fourth is electing to transcend. 05:05:42.510 --> 05:05:45.870 One-fourth is destructive, and they are defective seeds. 05:05:46.450 --> 05:05:51.330 Now, as we approach the quantum shift from the creature human to the co-creative 05:05:51.330 --> 05:05:57.170 human, the human who is the inheritor of god-like power, the destructive one-fourth 05:05:57.170 --> 05:05:59.630 must be eliminated from the social body. 05:05:59.630 --> 05:06:03.410 Fortunately, you are not responsible for this act. 05:06:03.810 --> 05:06:04.250 We are. 05:06:04.630 --> 05:06:08.690 We are in charge of god's selection process for planet earth. 05:06:09.170 --> 05:06:11.230 He selects, we destroy. 05:06:12.170 --> 05:06:14.950 We are the riders of the pale horse, death. 05:06:20.550 --> 05:06:25.750 Jesus said, Yea, the time cometh that whosoever kills you will think that he 05:06:25.750 --> 05:06:26.930 does god a service. 05:06:26.930 --> 05:06:31.930 And these things they do unto you because they have not known the Father nor me. 05:06:32.330 --> 05:06:35.830 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, 05:06:36.230 --> 05:06:38.390 you may remember that I told you of them. 05:06:40.690 --> 05:06:44.470 But if all these things are so, what is a person to do? 05:06:44.990 --> 05:06:49.590 We ask that question of Pastor Joe Schimmel, Senior Pastor of Blessed Hope 05:06:49.590 --> 05:06:51.970 Chapel in Simi Valley, California. 05:06:53.230 --> 05:06:55.570 Jesus said, He that's not with me is against me. 05:06:56.250 --> 05:07:01.770 So, you could be in the New World Order side, you know, a black magician or a 05:07:01.770 --> 05:07:06.230 Satanist or somebody that's just caught up in that lie and you're not for Christ, 05:07:06.250 --> 05:07:06.710 you're against Him. 05:07:06.830 --> 05:07:09.730 But you could also be someone who's fighting against the New World Order and 05:07:09.730 --> 05:07:13.410 think you're doing good but refuses to submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. 05:07:14.250 --> 05:07:18.270 Refuses to respond to the gospel and repent of your sins and turn to Christ as 05:07:18.270 --> 05:07:18.950 your Lord and Savior. 05:07:19.610 --> 05:07:23.590 And you're under the same condemnation and the same judgment as the Antichrist in the 05:07:23.590 --> 05:07:24.110 New World Order. 05:07:24.470 --> 05:07:27.810 And sadly, there's many people today that see what's going on to a degree, 05:07:28.170 --> 05:07:29.010 only part of the puzzle. 05:07:29.410 --> 05:07:33.090 Yet there is as much rebellion against God as many of these people that are in the 05:07:33.090 --> 05:07:33.550 New World Order. 05:07:34.130 --> 05:07:38.510 And my hope and my prayer is that people that see what's going on would not play 05:07:38.510 --> 05:07:39.290 into Satan's hands. 05:07:39.350 --> 05:07:41.950 Because what's going to happen in the end is there's going to be many people 05:07:41.950 --> 05:07:43.090 fighting against the New World Order. 05:07:44.010 --> 05:07:45.890 And they're going to think they're going to be doing good. 05:07:45.950 --> 05:07:49.870 And Satan, I believe, in the end time is going to use that as newsreel clips for, 05:07:50.130 --> 05:07:52.910 see what the Christians are doing, these crazy people. 05:07:53.830 --> 05:07:56.710 And Satan is going to use that actually against Christians in the very end. 05:07:57.070 --> 05:08:00.610 So we, true Christians that know Christ, need to submit to the Scripture. 05:08:01.210 --> 05:08:05.330 Need to realize that if God calls us to die as martyrs, we need to die as martyrs. 05:08:05.350 --> 05:08:09.010 If God calls us to escape with our families in the mountains, we need to do 05:08:09.010 --> 05:08:09.290 that. 05:08:09.390 --> 05:08:12.330 But one thing we need to make sure we don't do, is we don't want to make sure 05:08:12.330 --> 05:08:15.970 we're not the ones trying to blow up the Pentagon or, you know, blow up the United 05:08:15.970 --> 05:08:16.350 Nations. 05:08:16.430 --> 05:08:19.210 Because then what we end up doing is playing right into Satan's hands. 05:08:19.710 --> 05:08:26.030 So, my heart, my hope, and my prayer for anybody listening, especially if you don't 05:08:26.030 --> 05:08:29.830 know the Lord Jesus Christ, is that you recognize that you're a sinner, 05:08:29.950 --> 05:08:30.150 man. 05:08:30.290 --> 05:08:31.710 You've fallen short of God's glory. 05:08:32.210 --> 05:08:34.050 I'm sure you've lied some time in your life. 05:08:34.170 --> 05:08:36.870 I'm sure you dishonored your mom or your dad at some time in your life. 05:08:37.130 --> 05:08:38.930 I'm sure that you used God's name in vain. 05:08:39.390 --> 05:08:41.590 I'm sure you took something that didn't belong to yours at some time. 05:08:41.850 --> 05:08:42.950 The Bible says all of sin. 05:08:43.030 --> 05:08:43.550 You're a sinner. 05:08:43.810 --> 05:08:44.390 You're doomed. 05:08:44.490 --> 05:08:46.370 You're under God's condemnation because of your rebellion. 05:08:46.370 --> 05:08:48.150 But God loved you, the Bible says. 05:08:48.550 --> 05:08:52.410 And He sent His Son to pay the penalty you deserve to die in your place. 05:08:53.210 --> 05:08:54.530 And He paid that penalty. 05:08:54.650 --> 05:08:58.810 And the Scriptures say that if you receive Jesus Christ into your life, the Bible 05:08:58.810 --> 05:09:02.310 says as many as received Him, He gave the right to become the children of God. 05:09:02.650 --> 05:09:04.330 Jesus said, Behold, I stand at the door and knock. 05:09:04.850 --> 05:09:08.470 If anybody let me in, I'll come into him and fellowship with him and he with me. 05:09:08.810 --> 05:09:10.290 The Bible says you can have eternal life. 05:09:10.730 --> 05:09:13.210 The Bible says whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 05:09:13.550 --> 05:09:17.290 Right now, if you call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and cry out to Him 05:09:17.290 --> 05:09:18.450 and say, Save me. 05:09:18.510 --> 05:09:20.030 I believe that you died for me. 05:09:20.330 --> 05:09:20.910 You'll be saved. 05:09:20.970 --> 05:09:22.790 It doesn't matter what man will do to you. 05:09:22.830 --> 05:09:24.830 It doesn't matter what the new world order does to you. 05:09:25.250 --> 05:09:27.970 That lying can swallow the body but it can't swallow your soul. 05:09:28.410 --> 05:09:31.190 The Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. 05:09:31.830 --> 05:09:35.970 And the Bible says if you confess, Jesus said, be before men, I'll confess 05:09:35.970 --> 05:09:37.550 you before the Father and the angels in heaven. 05:09:37.650 --> 05:09:40.870 However, if you deny Him before men, He'll deny you before the Father in 05:09:40.870 --> 05:09:41.050 heaven. 05:09:41.530 --> 05:09:43.150 So let's confess Christ as Lord and Savior. 05:09:43.310 --> 05:09:44.370 Let's truly follow Him for the heart. 05:09:44.450 --> 05:09:45.430 Let's dig into our Bibles. 05:09:45.790 --> 05:09:47.050 Let's follow Him the Bible way. 05:09:47.570 --> 05:09:48.210 And that's... 05:09:48.210 --> 05:09:50.330 My advice is turn to the Scripture and turn to Jesus. 05:09:52.650 --> 05:09:58.290 In his second epistle, the Apostle Peter wrote, But beloved, be not ignorant of 05:09:58.290 --> 05:10:03.710 this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand 05:10:03.710 --> 05:10:05.190 years as one day. 05:10:05.630 --> 05:10:11.550 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise as some men count slackness but as 05:10:11.550 --> 05:10:16.750 longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should 05:10:16.750 --> 05:10:17.610 come to repentance. 05:10:19.470 --> 05:10:23.630 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens 05:10:23.630 --> 05:10:28.090 shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent 05:10:28.090 --> 05:10:28.470 heat. 05:10:29.050 --> 05:10:32.550 The earth also and the works that are in it shall be burned up. 05:10:33.390 --> 05:10:38.850 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought 05:10:38.850 --> 05:10:44.710 you to be, in all holy living and godliness, looking for and hasting unto 05:10:44.710 --> 05:10:46.610 the coming of the day of God? 05:10:48.170 --> 05:10:53.310 You therefore, beloved, seeing that you know these things before, beware, 05:10:53.650 --> 05:10:58.810 lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own 05:10:58.810 --> 05:11:04.150 steadfastness, but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, 05:11:04.550 --> 05:11:05.410 Jesus Christ. 05:11:06.150 --> 05:11:08.930 To Him be glory, both now and forever. 05:11:09.830 --> 05:11:10.230 Amen.
