00:00:04.63\00:00:06.70
>>THE 14TH CENTURY AZTEC EMPIRE
WAS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND
00:00:10.91\00:00:15.41
SOPHISTICATED CIVILIZATIONS
IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE; YET,
00:00:15.44\00:00:19.85
THIS KINGDOM OF TWO MILLION
PEOPLE WAS CONQUERED WITHIN A
00:00:19.88\00:00:23.35
YEAR BY A SPANISH FORCE OF
JUST 600 LIGHTLY ARMORED MEN.
00:00:23.39\00:00:28.79
HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
WELL, THE AZTECS BELIEVED IN
00:00:28.82\00:00:31.96
THE COMING OF QUETZALCOATL,
A LEGENDARY FEATHERED, BEARDED,
00:00:31.99\00:00:35.83
LIGHT-SKINNED GOD-KING WHO
WAS GOING TO COME FROM ACROSS
00:00:35.86\00:00:39.23
THE SEA TO MEXICO. WHEN
THE CONQUISTADORS ARRIVED
00:00:39.27\00:00:43.07
IN 1519, HERNANDO
CORTEZ IMPERSONATED THIS GOD OF
00:00:43.10\00:00:47.38
THE AZTECS TO BEFUDDLE THE
SUPERSTITIOUS KING MONTEZUMA.
00:00:47.41\00:00:52.31
BY FOOLING THE NATIVE PEOPLE,
CORTEZ COMPLETED HIS CONQUEST
00:00:52.35\00:00:56.38
THAT INCLUDED ENSLAVING
AND MURDERING MANY OF THEM.
00:00:56.42\00:01:00.16
THE VAGUE PROPHECIES OF THEIR
AZTEC GOD EASILY PAVED THE WAY
00:01:00.19\00:01:05.26
FOR A COUNTERFEIT.
JESUS HAS FORETOLD THAT IN THE
00:01:05.29\00:01:08.26
LAST DAYS, MANY FALSE CHRISTS
AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL USE
00:01:08.30\00:01:12.23
GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS TO
DECEIVE, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE,
00:01:12.27\00:01:15.87
EVEN GOD'S VERY ELECT.
HE ALSO SAID MOST PEOPLE
00:01:15.90\00:01:20.31
WILL BE DECEIVED, WILL YOU?
THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO JOIN ME
00:01:20.34\00:01:24.88
FOR TODAY'S PROGRAM, AS WE LEARN
FROM THE BIBLE HOW TO IDENTIFY
00:01:24.91\00:01:29.18
FALSE CHRISTS
AND FALSE PROPHETS.
00:01:29.22\00:01:31.89
>>I WANT TO WELCOME THOSE,
AGAIN, WHO ARE WATCHING, TO THE
00:01:36.22\00:01:38.26
PROPHECY ENCOUNTER SERIES.
00:01:38.29\00:01:40.30
NOW, IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
YOU'RE TUNING IN, YOU DO NEED TO
00:01:40.33\00:01:44.10
BRACE YOURSELF BECAUSE WE'RE
GOING TO BE - YOU'RE GOING TO BE
00:01:44.13\00:01:46.87
HEARING JUST ONE OF THE
MOST INTENSE CONTROVERSIAL
00:01:46.90\00:01:50.67
PRESENTATIONS THAT CAN BE COMING
FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION, AND
00:01:50.71\00:01:54.51
WE JUST ARE PRAYING FOR
GOD'S SPIRIT TO BE WITH US.
00:01:54.54\00:01:58.08
YOU PRAY FOR ME THAT I'LL JUST
SAY THINGS GRACEFULLY, BUT I
00:01:58.11\00:02:00.85
ALSO WANT TO BE FAITHFUL
IN SHARING THE TRUTH WITH YOU
00:02:00.88\00:02:03.75
BECAUSE, AS CHRIST
SAID, THE TIME IS AT HAND.
00:02:03.79\00:02:07.12
THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT
IS DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT A
00:02:07.16\00:02:10.29
WOMAN RIDES A BEAST AND THIS
HEARKENS FROM A PROPHECY IN A
00:02:10.33\00:02:14.66
PICTURE THAT YOU'LL
FIND IN REVELATION 17.
00:02:14.73\00:02:17.83
NOW, IN THIS PRESENTATION IN
PARTICULAR, WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:02:17.87\00:02:20.07
TALKING ABOUT 'WHAT IS THIS
BEAST THAT KEEPS REAPPEARING IN
00:02:20.10\00:02:25.21
THE BOOKS OF
REVELATION AND DANIEL?'
00:02:25.24\00:02:29.01
SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PRIMARY
CLUES TO IDENTIFY THE ANTICHRIST
00:02:29.04\00:02:33.05
BEAST THAT YOU
FIND IN REVELATION 17?
00:02:33.08\00:02:36.52
TURN IN YOUR BIBLES REAL QUICK
- REVELATION CHAPTER 17 AND THIS
00:02:36.55\00:02:44.33
IS WHERE YOU NEED TO, LIKE, TAKE
A DEEP BREATH, "THEN ONE OF THE
00:02:44.36\00:02:48.70
SEVEN ANGELS" - VERSE 1 - "WHO
HAD THE SEVEN BOWLS CAME AND
00:02:48.73\00:02:52.17
TALKED WITH ME, SAYING TO
ME, 'COME, I WILL SHOW YOU THE
00:02:52.20\00:02:54.84
JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT HARLOT'" -
THAT'S OBVIOUS SHE'S NOT GOOD -
00:02:54.87\00:02:58.77
"WHO SITS ON MANY WATERS." -
WHAT DO THE WATERS REPRESENT?
00:02:58.81\00:03:01.61
CONTROL OVER MANY PEOPLE - "WITH
WHOM THE KINGS OF THE EARTH" -
00:03:01.64\00:03:04.78
THE GOVERNMENTS - "'COMMITTED
FORNICATION, AND THE INHABITANTS
00:03:04.81\00:03:08.18
OF THE EARTH WERE MADE
DRUNK WITH THE WINE OF HER
00:03:08.22\00:03:10.32
FORNICATION.' SO HE CARRIED
ME AWAY IN THE SPIRIT INTO THE
00:03:10.35\00:03:13.76
WILDERNESS. AND I
SAW A WOMAN SITTING ON A
00:03:13.79\00:03:15.59
SCARLET BEAST WHICH WAS FULL
OF NAMES OF BLASPHEMY HAVING
00:03:15.62\00:03:18.73
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS.
THE WOMAN WAS ARRAYED" - SHE
00:03:18.76\00:03:22.26
WAS CLOTHED - "IN
PURPLE AND SCARLET," -
00:03:22.30\00:03:24.83
WHAT COLORS DID I SAY? >>PURPLE.
00:03:24.87\00:03:26.74
>>"AND ADORNED WITH GOLD AND
PRECIOUS STONES AND PEARLS" -
00:03:26.77\00:03:30.31
SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL - "AND A GOLDEN
CUP FULL OF ABOMINATIONS AND THE
00:03:30.34\00:03:35.21
FILTHINESS OF HER
FORNICATION WAS IN HER HAND.
00:03:35.24\00:03:38.25
AND ON HER FOREHEAD A
NAME WAS WRITTEN: MYSTERY.
00:03:38.28\00:03:41.45
BABYLON THE GREAT. THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF
00:03:41.48\00:03:43.75
THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
I SAW THE WOMAN, DRUNK WITH THE
00:03:43.79\00:03:47.72
BLOOD OF THE SAINTS AND WITH THE
BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS OF JESUS.
00:03:47.76\00:03:50.36
AND WHEN I SAW HER, I
MARVELED WITH GREAT AMAZEMENT.
00:03:50.39\00:03:53.66
BUT THE ANGEL SAID TO
ME, 'WHY DID YOU MARVEL?
00:03:53.70\00:03:55.86
I WILL TELL YOU THE MYSTERY OF
THE WOMAN AND OF THE BEAST THAT
00:03:55.90\00:03:58.03
CARRIES HER," - SO LET'S
GO AHEAD NOW AND GO INTO THE
00:03:58.07\00:04:04.01
INTERPRETATIONS
THAT YOU'LL FIND HERE.
00:04:04.04\00:04:07.58
WHO IS THIS WOMAN? "AND
THE WOMAN WHOM YOU SAW" -
00:04:07.61\00:04:11.21
YOU LOOK IN THE LAST
VERSE IN CHAPTER 17 - YOU GOT
00:04:11.25\00:04:13.62
YOUR BIBLE THERE? - IT
SAYS THE WOMAN THAT YOU SAW
00:04:13.65\00:04:15.88
"IS THAT GREAT CITY WHICH REIGNS
OVER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH."
00:04:15.92\00:04:19.85
WHEN JOHN WAS A PRISONER ON THE
ISLE OF PATMOS, WHAT GREAT CITY
00:04:19.89\00:04:23.32
WAS REIGNING OVER
THE KINGS OF THE EARTH?
00:04:23.36\00:04:25.23
>>ROME. >>ROME.
00:04:25.26\00:04:27.03
SO WHAT DOES A
WOMAN REPRESENT? >>ROME.
00:04:27.03\00:04:29.60
>>A WOMAN. >>CHURCH.
00:04:29.63\00:04:31.40
>>A CHURCH. SO YOU'VE
GOT A WOMAN RIDING ROME.
00:04:31.43\00:04:38.77
IF I SAID NOTHING ELSE, YOU
OUGHT TO START GETTING IT RIGHT
00:04:38.81\00:04:41.11
THERE. BUT WE'RE
GOING TO KEEP GOING.
00:04:41.14\00:04:42.61
IT JUST - THIS IS, I THINK,
A PRETTY VIVID EXAMPLE OF BIBLE
00:04:42.64\00:04:46.05
PROPHECY BEING CLEAR. IT
SAYS THERE'S SEVEN HEADS.
00:04:46.08\00:04:48.78
WHAT DO THE
SEVEN HEADS REPRESENT?
00:04:48.82\00:04:50.42
IF YOU WANT TO ARGUE WITH
GABRIEL, YOU TAKE IT UP WITH
00:04:50.45\00:04:52.55
HIM, BUT HE TOLD JOHN, "HERE IS
THE MIND WHICH HAS WISDOM: THE
00:04:52.59\00:04:56.12
SEVEN HEADS ARE SEVEN MOUNTAINS
ON WHICH THE WOMAN SITS."
00:04:56.16\00:04:59.86
NOW, IS EVERYBODY HERE AWARE
THAT IF YOU JUST LOOK IN THE
00:04:59.89\00:05:02.20
ENCYCLOPEDIA IT'S GOING TO TELL
YOU ROME IS CALLED THE CITY OF
00:05:02.23\00:05:05.27
SEVEN HILLS? IS THERE
A PRINCIPLE CHURCH THAT
00:05:05.30\00:05:08.37
HAS ITS
HEADQUARTERS IN ROME? >>YES.
00:05:08.40\00:05:10.74
>>MM HMM. >>WHAT
COLORS IS SHE WEARING?
00:05:10.77\00:05:13.78
>>RED. >>PURPLE AND SCARLET.
00:05:13.81\00:05:18.95
PURPLE AND SCARLET ARE THE
OFFICIAL COLORS OF THE HIERARCHY
00:05:18.98\00:05:22.35
OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
CARDINALS WEAR SCARLET ROBES AND
00:05:22.38\00:05:26.69
THE ARCHBISHOPS WEAR PURPLE.
AND YOU'LL EVEN FIND TIMES
00:05:26.72\00:05:29.66
WHERE THE POPE WILL WEAR
BOTH. WHAT OTHER CLUES WERE
00:05:29.69\00:05:32.49
GIVEN THERE IN CHAPTER
17? IT SAYS THAT THE WOMAN IS
00:05:32.53\00:05:35.96
"ADORNED WITH GOLD AND
PRECIOUS STONES AND PEARLS."
00:05:36.00\00:05:42.44
WELL, HAVE ANY OF
YOU EVER BEEN TO ROME?
00:05:42.47\00:05:46.01
HAVE YOU SEEN THE VATICAN
AND SOME OF THE TREASURES THERE?
00:05:46.04\00:05:48.24
IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. IT
SAYS THE VATICAN TREASURE OF
00:05:48.28\00:05:52.11
SOLID GOLD HAS BEEN ESTIMATED
BY THE UNITED NATIONS WORLD
00:05:52.15\00:05:55.85
MAGAZINE - IT NUMBERS
IN SEVERAL BILLION DOLLARS.
00:05:55.88\00:05:59.89
NOW THAT'S JUST THE HOLDINGS OF
GOLD - THAT'S THE GOLD THAT IS
00:05:59.92\00:06:03.86
IN THE AMERICAN RESERVE, IT'S IN
SWITZERLAND, IT'S IN A VARIETY
00:06:03.89\00:06:07.23
OF BANKS. IT'S NOT
COUNTING THE GOLD IN THE ACTUAL
00:06:07.30\00:06:10.70
PRICELESS TREASURES
THEY OWN AND IT DOESN'T COUNT
00:06:10.73\00:06:14.10
THE REAL ESTATE. IT
DOES NOT COUNT ALL THEIR
00:06:14.14\00:06:16.74
HOLDINGS IN SILVER AND THE
CASH THAT THEY HAVE INVESTED.
00:06:16.77\00:06:20.24
THEY ARE ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST
INSTITUTIONS IN THE WORLD.
00:06:20.28\00:06:24.31
SO SHE'S GOT A GOLDEN CUP IN
HER HAND AND IF YOU READ IN - IT
00:06:24.35\00:06:29.62
SAYS "THE GOLDEN CHALICE" -
IN THERE - YOU CAN GO TO THE
00:06:29.65\00:06:32.25
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA - IT
OCCUPIES THE FIRST PLACE AMONG
00:06:32.29\00:06:36.39
ALL THE SACRED VESSELS OF THE
CHURCH." NOW WHERE IS THAT IN
00:06:36.42\00:06:39.29
THE BIBLE? IS THAT A BIBLE
TEACHING? ARE THERE ANY CLEAR
00:06:39.33\00:06:43.73
POINTS FROM WHICH WE CAN
DRAW FROM DANIEL 7 TO HELP US
00:06:43.77\00:06:48.34
IDENTIFY THE ANTICHRIST POWER?
ALRIGHT, SO NOW WE'RE LOOKING
00:06:48.37\00:06:51.67
BACK IN DANIEL 7 -
WE'RE COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH
00:06:51.71\00:06:53.94
SCRIPTURE - AND IT
GIVES US TEN CHARACTERISTICS.
00:06:53.98\00:06:57.78
I PUT THEM IN LETTERS HERE
AND SO YOU CAN SEE, IT'LL GO A
00:06:57.81\00:07:02.08
THROUGH J AND IT SAYS THAT,
FIRST OF ALL, IT ARISES FROM
00:07:02.12\00:07:07.19
AMONG THE TEN; IT'S A HUMAN
LEADER; IT UPROOTS THREE OTHER
00:07:07.22\00:07:12.06
LEADERS; IT'S DIVERSE OR
DIFFERENT; IT'S A PERSECUTING
00:07:12.09\00:07:15.66
POWER; AND AFTER 476 AD IT
DIVIDES; IT RULES FOR 1260 YEARS
00:07:15.70\00:07:22.87
OR A TIME, A TIME
AND THE DIVIDING OF TIME.
00:07:22.90\00:07:25.74
IT'S GUILTY OF BLASPHEMY; IT'S
CHANGED GOD'S LAW - 'HE WOULD
00:07:25.77\00:07:29.51
THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS'
- AND THERE'S THIS LITTLE HORN
00:07:29.54\00:07:33.42
POWER THAT'S GOT - IT'S UNIQUE
OR DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS.
00:07:33.45\00:07:38.42
DOES THE PAPACY FIT THESE
TEN POINTS THAT WE JUST SAW?
00:07:38.45\00:07:43.59
LOOK HERE, FIRST OF ALL, DID
IT COME UP FROM AMONG THE MAIN
00:07:43.63\00:07:46.93
NATIONS THAT YOU
FIND IN EUROPE? IT DID.
00:07:46.96\00:07:50.27
WHERE'S [ROME]? IT WAS
RIGHT IN THE VERY MIDDLE
00:07:50.30\00:07:52.63
OF [ITALY] - IT CAME UP IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
00:07:52.67\00:07:55.80
YOU NOTICE WHAT
IT SAID IN DANIEL 7?
00:07:55.84\00:07:57.61
'I SAW THESE BEASTS
COME UP FROM THE GREAT SEA.'
00:07:57.64\00:08:00.88
WHAT WAS THE GREAT
SEA FOR BIBLE WRITERS?
00:08:00.91\00:08:03.21
THEY HAD THE SEA OF GALILEE,
THEY HAD THE DEAD SEA, AND THEN
00:08:03.24\00:08:05.85
THEY HAD THE GREAT SEA,
WHICH IS THE MEDITERRANEAN.
00:08:05.88\00:08:09.32
AND, OF COURSE, ITALY IS A
PENINSULA IN THE VERY MIDST OF
00:08:09.35\00:08:12.92
THE GREAT SEA.
AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT
00:08:12.95\00:08:14.86
SAYS THIS POWER RISES UP.
IT SAYS "THE DRAGON GAVE HIM
00:08:14.89\00:08:19.43
HIS POWER, HIS SEAT,
AND GREAT AUTHORITY."
00:08:19.46\00:08:22.83
SO PAGAN ROME, WHICH IS
THE DRAGON, THEN GIVES THE VERY
00:08:22.86\00:08:27.40
POSITION TO THIS NEW INSTITUTION
THAT DEVELOPED, AND YOU CAN JUST
00:08:27.44\00:08:33.24
READ ABOUT THAT.
WITH THE CONVERSION OF
00:08:33.27\00:08:35.04
CONSTANTINE - YOU REALIZE
CHRISTIANITY WAS CALLED 'RELIGIO
00:08:35.08\00:08:38.65
ILLICITA' IN ROME TO BEGIN WITH.
CHRISTIANS WERE CHASED OUT OF
00:08:38.68\00:08:43.42
ROME, AT ONE POINT - AND JEWS.
YOU CAN READ THAT IN THE BOOK OF
00:08:43.45\00:08:46.12
ACTS - AND IT WAS FORBIDDEN AND
THEY WERE TERRIBLY PERSECUTED.
00:08:46.15\00:08:50.76
BUT OVER TIME, CONSTANTINE WAS
FIGHTING BATTLES ON THE OUTSIDE
00:08:50.79\00:08:55.96
- HE WAS A ROMAN EMPEROR - AND
HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, CHRISTIANS
00:08:56.00\00:08:58.57
AREN'T HURTING ANYBODY.
THEY'RE PRETTY PEACEFUL.' NERO
00:08:58.60\00:09:01.57
WANTED TO WIPE THEM
OUT BUT IT DIDN'T WORK.
00:09:01.60\00:09:03.14
THE MORE THEY PERSECUTED
THEM THE MORE THEY GREW.
00:09:03.17\00:09:06.74
AND HE CLAIMED TO HAVE A VISION,
HE SAID, 'I'M NOW TO FIGHT AND
00:09:06.78\00:09:09.61
CONQUER UNDER THE
SIGN OF THE CROSS.
00:09:09.64\00:09:12.21
CONSTANTINE LEGALIZED
CHRISTIANITY AND - HIS MOTHER
00:09:12.25\00:09:16.62
WAS A CHRISTIAN - AND ALMOST
OVERNIGHT IT BECAME VOGUE TO BE
00:09:16.65\00:09:21.26
A CHRISTIAN AND EVERYBODY IN
THE GOVERNMENT WANTED TO BE A
00:09:21.29\00:09:23.53
CHRISTIAN. AND, ALL
OF A SUDDEN, ALL THE
00:09:23.56\00:09:25.43
PAGAN PRIESTS AND THE PAGAN GODS
IN ROME, THEY SAID, YOU KNOW,
00:09:25.46\00:09:30.60
'WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR GODS?'
AND THERE WAS A BIG RUSH - ALL
00:09:30.63\00:09:33.57
OF A SUDDEN, EVERYONE
WANTED TO BE A CHRISTIAN.
00:09:33.60\00:09:35.87
BUT WHAT THE DEVIL COULD NOT DO
IN TRYING TO DESTROY THE CHURCH
00:09:35.90\00:09:39.84
ON THE OUTSIDE BY PERSECUTION -
FEEDING THE CHRISTIANS TO LIONS,
00:09:39.87\00:09:43.78
CHASING THEM UNDERGROUND TO
THE CATACOMBS - THE DEVIL NOW
00:09:43.81\00:09:46.82
ACCOMPLISHED BY
JOINING THE CHURCH.
00:09:46.85\00:09:50.32
HE LEGALIZED IT. AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE WAS
00:09:50.35\00:09:53.79
GREAT COMPROMISE
THAT CAME INTO THE CHURCH.
00:09:53.82\00:09:56.19
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:09:57.96\00:09:59.16
IN JUST A MOMENT WE WILL
RETURN TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:09:59.19\00:10:02.10
>>YOU KNOW, THERE'S QUITE A
BIT OF ZOOLOGY IN BIBLE SYMBOLS:
00:10:02.50\00:10:05.67
LIONS, AND LEOPARDS, AND BEARS
AND, AMONG THE OMINOUS CREATURES
00:10:05.70\00:10:09.70
THAT ARE PICTURED IN THE BOOK OF
REVELATION IS A 7-HEADED DRAGON
00:10:09.74\00:10:13.91
THAT'S BEING
RIDDEN BY A VICIOUS WOMAN.
00:10:13.94\00:10:16.51
WHO DO THESE POWERS
REPRESENT? ARE THEY OPERATING
00:10:16.54\00:10:19.31
IN THE WORLD TODAY? DOES
AMERICA PLAY A ROLE IN THE
00:10:19.35\00:10:22.45
FINAL EVENTS OF BIBLE PROPHECY?
AND HOW CAN WE KNOW FOR SURE
00:10:22.48\00:10:26.52
WHAT THESE SYMBOLS MEAN?
FRIENDS, I BELIEVE WE ARE IN
00:10:26.55\00:10:30.83
THE LAST DAYS AND UNDERSTANDING
THESE PROPHECIES IS CRUCIAL FOR
00:10:30.86\00:10:34.76
THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW
THEY'RE ON GOD'S SIDE IN
00:10:34.83\00:10:36.93
THESE TRYING TIMES.
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS
00:10:36.97\00:10:39.73
SUBJECT, WE'D LIKE TO MAKE
AVAILABLE TO YOU A POWERFUL BOOK
00:10:39.77\00:10:42.80
CALLED THE BEAST, THE DRAGON,
AND THE WOMAN AND IT'LL WALK YOU
00:10:42.84\00:10:46.41
STEP BY STEP THROUGH EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
00:10:46.44\00:10:48.84
REVELATION'S MOST
PERPLEXING END-TIME SYMBOLS.
00:10:48.88\00:10:52.15

TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND LEARN
00:11:14.60\00:11:17.34
SOME MORE AMAZING
FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:17.37\00:11:20.38
>>YOU KNOW, THERE'S A
COMMANDMENT THAT SAYS, 'DO NOT
00:11:22.01\00:11:23.71
MAKE IMAGES AND PRAY TO
THEM.' IT'S ONE OF THE TEN
00:11:23.75\00:11:25.81
COMMANDMENTS, RIGHT? YOU'VE GOT
TO TAKE THAT UP WITH THE LORD.
00:11:25.85\00:11:28.38
THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS,
RIGHT? SECOND COMMANDMENT.
00:11:28.42\00:11:31.69
WELL, THEY HAD ALL THESE IDOLS
OF ALL THE GODS ALL OVER ROME.
00:11:31.72\00:11:34.69
THEY HAD - SOMEONE SAID THEY HAD
MORE IDOLS IN ROME THAN THEY HAD
00:11:34.72\00:11:38.73
BIRDS. THEY WERE EVERYWHERE.
00:11:38.76\00:11:40.73
THEY HAD MERCURY AND APOLLOS AND
ZEUS AND ALL THE GREEK GODS THAT
00:11:40.76\00:11:44.30
THEY MINGLED WITH THE ROMAN GODS
AND THEY HAD PANTHEONS OF GODS
00:11:44.33\00:11:48.20
AND EVEN PAUL, IN THE BOOK OF
ACTS, HE GOES AND HE PREACHES TO
00:11:48.24\00:11:50.61
THE GREEKS - HE SAID, 'AS I WAS
LOOKING AT ALL YOUR GODS' - THEY
00:11:50.64\00:11:54.14
HAD IDOLS AND STATUES OF DIANA
AND ATHENA AND ALL - AND WHEN
00:11:54.18\00:12:00.22
EVERYONE BECAME A CHRISTIAN AND
THE BIBLE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE ARE
00:12:00.25\00:12:04.52
TO WORSHIP GOD, THEY SAID,
'WHAT ARE DO WE DO WITH OUR
00:12:04.55\00:12:06.25
IDOLS?' WELL, THEY
DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE
00:12:06.29\00:12:09.09
THE PAGANS AND THEY SAID, 'WELL,
YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO TEACH THEM
00:12:09.12\00:12:11.83
GRADUALLY.' AND SO, THEY SAID,
'GIVE THEM CHRISTIAN NAMES TO
00:12:11.86\00:12:14.93
START WITH.' AND SO THEY STARTED
CALLING THEIR IDOLS PETER,
00:12:14.96\00:12:19.03
JAMES, JOHN, JESUS, MARY -
ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYTHING BEGAN
00:12:19.07\00:12:22.24
TO CHANGE IN THE
CHURCH. GOOD PEOPLE, BUT THEY
00:12:22.27\00:12:24.74
BEGAN TO COMPROMISE.
AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE
00:12:24.77\00:12:27.81
CHRISTIAN LEADERS, THEY SAID,
'WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GET MORE
00:12:27.84\00:12:29.98
PEOPLE INTO THE CHURCH IF
WE MAKE A FEW COMPROMISES.
00:12:30.01\00:12:33.01
WE'LL BRING MORE IN.'
AND THAT WAS THE WHOLE IDEA.
00:12:33.05\00:12:36.95
"THE TRANSFER OF THE EMPEROR'S
RESIDENCE TO CONSTANTINOPLE WAS
00:12:36.99\00:12:40.49
A SAD BLOW TO THE
PRESTIGE OF ROME."
00:12:40.52\00:12:43.32
NOW IT SAYS THAT THEY GOT THEIR
POWER, SEAT, AND AUTHORITY FROM
00:12:43.36\00:12:46.43
THIS FOURTH BEAST -
ROME. WHEN THE EMPEROR MOVED
00:12:46.46\00:12:51.27
THE CAPITAL FROM ROME TO
CONSTANTINOPLE, IT LOOKED LIKE
00:12:51.30\00:12:54.60
ROME WAS GOING
TO LOSE ITS GLORY.
00:12:54.64\00:12:56.17
BUT LISTEN TO WHAT THE
HISTORIANS SAY: 'SOMEONE MIGHT
00:12:56.20\00:12:58.41
HAVE PREDICTED AT THAT
TIME HER SPEEDY DECLINE, BUT THE
00:12:58.44\00:13:01.48
DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH
AND THE GROWING AUTHORITY OF THE
00:13:01.51\00:13:04.95
BISHOP OF ROME,' - BETTER KNOWN
AS THE POPE - 'IT GAVE HER A NEW
00:13:04.98\00:13:09.18
LEASE ON LIFE AND MADE HER,
AGAIN, THE CAPITAL - THIS TIME
00:13:09.22\00:13:12.19
THE RELIGIOUS CAPITAL - OF THE
CIVILIZED WORLD.' WHERE IT USED
00:13:12.22\00:13:15.19
TO BE IN JERUSALEM, NOW THE
CHRISTIAN CAPITAL MOVED TO ROME.
00:13:15.22\00:13:18.36
AND WHERE ROME WAS THE WORLD
EMPIRE FOR POLITICAL POWER, NOW
00:13:18.39\00:13:22.96
IT BECAME THE SPIRITUAL CAPITAL
OF THE WORLD AND THAT HASN'T
00:13:23.00\00:13:27.10
CHANGED IN OVER A
THOUSAND YEARS, OF COURSE.
00:13:27.14\00:13:30.54
'TO THE SUCCESSION OF THE
CAESARS CAME THE SUCCESSION OF
00:13:30.57\00:13:33.34
THE PONTIFFS IN ROME.' AND
SO, INSTEAD OF IT NOW HAVING A
00:13:33.38\00:13:37.85
SUCCESSION OF ONE CAESAR
FOLLOWING ANOTHER, THE CAESARS
00:13:37.88\00:13:40.75
SORT OF LEFT TOWN - THEY BEGAN
TO LOSE POWER - BUT THE CHURCH
00:13:40.78\00:13:44.15
IN ROME BEGAN TO GAIN POWER.
THEY WERE ACTUALLY GIVEN AN
00:13:44.19\00:13:46.72
ARMY TO ENFORCE
RELIGION. AND WE'LL GET TO
00:13:46.76\00:13:49.96
THAT IN A MOMENT. WHEN
CONSTANTINE LEFT ROME, HE
00:13:49.99\00:13:53.03
GAVE HIS SEAT TO THE
PONTIFF. ISN'T THAT WHAT WE JUST
00:13:53.06\00:13:56.43
READ FROM THE BIBLE? GOT
HIS POWER AND HIS SEAT FROM
00:13:56.46\00:14:00.30
THE DRAGON - THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED, HISTORICALLY.
00:14:00.34\00:14:04.91
IT WOULD HAVE A MAN AS ITS HEAD
WHO WOULD SPEAK FOR THE PAPACY.
00:14:04.94\00:14:09.64
THE PAPACY, OF COURSE, HAS ONE
MAN, THE POPE WHO SPEAKS FOR IT,
00:14:09.68\00:14:13.68
SO IT'S A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL
THAT IS THE LEADER OF THIS
00:14:13.72\00:14:16.58
ORGANIZATION, IT
MEETS THAT CRITERIA AS WELL.
00:14:16.62\00:14:20.52
IT SAYS, "AND AUTHORITY
WAS GIVEN HIM OVER EVERY TRIBE,
00:14:20.56\00:14:24.43
TONGUE, AND NATION."
00:14:24.46\00:14:25.93
WHAT DOES THE
WORD 'CATHOLIC' MEAN?
00:14:26.29\00:14:28.43
>>UNIVERSAL.
>>IT MEANS UNIVERSAL.
00:14:28.46\00:14:31.90
MATTER OF FACT, SOME OF YOU, YOU
MAY EVEN BE A PROTESTANT AND YOU
00:14:31.93\00:14:34.37
MAY HAVE, FROM TIME TO
TIME, READ WHAT THEY CALL THE
00:14:34.40\00:14:36.74
APOSTLE'S CREED AND IT SAYS,
'I AM PART OF THE HOLY CATHOLIC
00:14:36.77\00:14:39.17
CHURCH'. WHEN I
FIRST READ THAT IN A
00:14:39.21\00:14:41.24
PROTESTANT
CHURCH I SAID, 'WHAT?'
00:14:41.28\00:14:42.38
THEY SAID, 'NO, THE WORD
'CATHOLIC' MEANS UNIVERSAL.' AND
00:14:42.41\00:14:45.78
SO, IT IS A GLOBAL MOVEMENT
- IT'S NOT JUST LOCALIZED.
00:14:45.81\00:14:50.92
AND IN ANOTHER STATEMENT, IT
SAYS HERE - POPE BONIFACE VIII
00:14:50.95\00:14:57.26
SAID, "WE, MOREOVER, PROCLAIM,
DECLARE AND PRONOUNCE THAT IT IS
00:14:57.29\00:15:01.16
ALTOGETHER NECESSARY TO
SALVATION FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING
00:15:01.20\00:15:05.03
TO BE SUBJECT TO
THE ROMAN PONTIFF."
00:15:05.07\00:15:07.87
THEY SAY THIS IS THEIR TEACHINGS
- THAT HE IS TO HAVE ABSOLUTE
00:15:07.90\00:15:11.44
RESPECT AS THE
SUPREME AUTHORITY.
00:15:11.47\00:15:13.34
IT SAYS IT WAS A MAN WITH A
MOUTH SPEAKING GREAT THINGS.
00:15:13.38\00:15:17.95
IT GOES ON AND TELLS US THEN
THAT THIS POWER WOULD PLUCK UP
00:15:17.98\00:15:21.48
OR UPROOT THREE OTHER KINGDOMS -
REMEMBER THAT LITTLE HORN COMES
00:15:21.52\00:15:24.49
UP? THREE OTHER HORNS ARE, SORT
00:15:24.52\00:15:26.52
OF, DISPLACED BECAUSE OF
THAT. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
00:15:26.55\00:15:29.79
YOU LOOK AT HISTORY, IT SAYS THE
THREE ARIAN KINGDOMS THAT DID
00:15:29.82\00:15:33.86
NOT SUPPORT THE PAPACY -
THE HERULI, THE VANDALS, AND THE
00:15:33.90\00:15:38.00
OSTROGOTHS - WHEN THE POPE CAME
INTO POWER WITH AN ARMY ABOUT
00:15:38.03\00:15:42.30
538, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
HE DID WAS HE SENT HIS ARMIES TO
00:15:42.34\00:15:45.94
FIGHT AGAINST THESE KINGDOMS
THAT WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE HIS
00:15:45.97\00:15:48.88
AUTHORITY AND DID NOT
AGREE WITH THEIR THEOLOGY.
00:15:48.91\00:15:52.11
AND THEY WERE DESTROYED.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T SEE THE
00:15:52.15\00:15:54.75
OSTROGOTHS AND THE
VANDALS AND THE HERULI ANYMORE.
00:15:54.78\00:15:57.39
IT'S BECAUSE THOSE KINGDOMS
WERE UPROOTED JUST AS IT SAID.
00:15:57.42\00:16:00.79
BUT, UP UNTIL THEN, IT HAD
TEN HORNS - THREE OF THOSE HORNS
00:16:00.82\00:16:03.83
WERE UPROOTED. THAT
HAPPENED BETWEEN 493 AND 538.
00:16:03.86\00:16:09.13
WHAT TIME? THE
LAST DATE: 493 TO 538.
00:16:09.16\00:16:12.93
I WANT YOU TO MAKE
A MENTAL NOTE OF THAT.
00:16:12.97\00:16:15.04
IT SAYS IT WOULD BE DIVERSE
FROM OR DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER
00:16:15.07\00:16:18.64
KINGDOMS. IT'S
DIVERSE IN THAT IT'S NOT
00:16:18.67\00:16:21.21
JUST A
GOVERNMENT, IT'S A RELIGION.
00:16:21.24\00:16:24.91
THE ROMAN CHURCH HAS GOT ABOUT
1.2 BILLION MEMBERS AT THE TIME
00:16:24.95\00:16:28.45
OF THIS RECORDING. I
JUST CHECKED THE FIGURES -
00:16:28.48\00:16:30.75
THERE ARE ABOUT 2.2 BILLION
CHRISTIANS IN THE WORLD TODAY,
00:16:30.79\00:16:33.92
BECAUSE YOU ADD THE PROTESTANTS
- BUT CATHOLICS ARE THE LARGEST
00:16:33.96\00:16:37.56
SINGLE GROUP - ROMAN CATHOLICS.
IT GOES ON AND TELLS US THAT
00:16:37.59\00:16:41.46
THIS POWER WOULD MAKE WAR
WITH AND PERSECUTE THE SAINTS.
00:16:41.50\00:16:45.93
WHAT HAPPENED IS, BACK IN 2000,
THE POPE, JOHN PAUL II, HAD A
00:16:45.97\00:16:49.87
YEAR OF JUBILEE AND, DURING
THAT YEAR OF JUBILEE, THE CHURCH
00:16:49.90\00:16:53.78
PUBLICLY APOLOGIZED FOR
THE ACTIONS OF THE CHURCH IN
00:16:53.81\00:16:57.65
PERSECUTING DURING THE
TIME OF THE INQUISITION.
00:16:57.68\00:17:00.75
IT'S A FACT OF HISTORY THAT
THERE WERE GREAT PERSECUTIONS
00:17:00.78\00:17:03.42
THAT TOOK PLACE. YOU
CAN GO TO EUROPE - I'VE BEEN
00:17:03.45\00:17:05.72
THERE - THEY'VE TAKEN ME
IN CHURCHES AND THEY SAY,
00:17:05.75\00:17:07.72
'WANNA SEE THE DUNGEON?'
AND YOU CAN GO TO THE DUNGEON -
00:17:07.76\00:17:10.73
THEY SAY, 'HERE'S THE TORTURE
CHAMBERS' - AND THEY HAVE THESE
00:17:10.76\00:17:13.13
IMPLEMENTS OF TORTURE
ON DISPLAY IN THE BASEMENTS
00:17:13.16\00:17:16.00
OF THE CHURCHES. AND
SO, IT'S A PRETTY CLEAR FACT
00:17:16.03\00:17:20.30
OF HISTORY THAT
IT WOULD MAKE WAR.
00:17:20.34\00:17:23.00
AND THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS IN
REVELATION 13, THAT IT WOULD
00:17:23.04\00:17:25.17
"MAKE WAR WITH THE
SAINTS, AND TO OVERCOME THEM."
00:17:25.21\00:17:28.48
THEY HAD TO GO
UNDERGROUND DURING THAT TIME.
00:17:28.51\00:17:30.98
BRITISH HISTORIAN WILLIAM EDWARD
LECKY WROTE "THAT THE CHURCH OF
00:17:31.01\00:17:34.58
ROME HAS SHED MORE INNOCENT
BLOOD THAN ANY OTHER INSTITUTION
00:17:34.62\00:17:38.59
THAT HAS EVER EXISTED AMONG
MANKIND, WILL BE QUESTIONED BY
00:17:38.62\00:17:42.42
NO PROTESTANT WHO HAS A
COMPETENT KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY."
00:17:42.46\00:17:45.76
IT GOES ON TO TELL US THAT
"GOD'S PEOPLE (THE SAINTS) WOULD
00:17:45.79\00:17:48.66
BE GIVEN INTO ITS
HAND FOR A PERIOD OF TIME."
00:17:48.70\00:17:50.87
WHAT IS THAT PERIOD OF
TIME? IT SAYS "A TIME AND TIMES
00:17:50.90\00:17:54.30
AND THE DIVIDING OF TIME."
THAT'S THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
00:17:54.34\00:17:57.87
"POWER WAS GIVEN" - LOOK IN
REVELATION 13:5 - "POWER WAS
00:17:57.91\00:18:01.28
GIVEN UNTO HIM TO
CONTINUE FORTY AND TWO MONTHS."
00:18:01.31\00:18:05.45
AND THIS IS A PERIOD OF TIME.
NOW, I TOLD YOU THE STARTING
00:18:05.48\00:18:07.52
DATE - 538 IS WHEN HE
FINALLY SECURED HIS POWER.
00:18:07.55\00:18:12.29
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT
THAT. IF YOU GO FROM 538, 1260
00:18:12.32\00:18:17.63
YEARS - THAT'S A TIME -
REMEMBER, IN BIBLE PROPHECY,
00:18:17.66\00:18:21.46
A DAY EQUALS WHAT? >>A YEAR.
00:18:21.50\00:18:23.57
>>YOU FIND THAT IN EZEKIEL
4:6 AND NUMBERS AND LUKE.
00:18:23.60\00:18:27.10
YOU FIND SEVERAL PASSAGES THAT
TEACH US THAT'S A PRINCIPLE.
00:18:27.14\00:18:30.17
IF YOU GO FROM THE STARTING
POINT OF 538, IN 538 THE ROMAN
00:18:30.21\00:18:35.54
EMPEROR JUSTINIAN LEFT TOWN, HE
GAVE THE POPE AN ARMY, THE POPE
00:18:35.58\00:18:41.42
WAS THE SUPREME RULER, THEY
BEGAN TO USE FORCE TO COMPEL
00:18:41.45\00:18:45.29
PEOPLE TO BELIEVE - DID JESUS
EVER ENDORSE THAT WE USE ARMIES
00:18:45.32\00:18:48.42
TO GET CONVERTS? AND THREATEN
WITH DEATH OR PERSECUTE?
00:18:48.46\00:18:52.56
NO, HE SAID, 'WHOSOEVER
WILL, COME' - IT'S TO BE FREE.
00:18:52.59\00:18:55.63
IT'S NOT TO BE COMPULSORY.
NOW HERE YOU'VE GOT - THIS
00:18:55.66\00:18:59.07
IS ACTUALLY A
MOSAIC OF CONSTANTINE.
00:18:59.10\00:19:01.54
THE LEGALLY RECOGNIZED SUPREMACY
OF THE POPE BEGAN IN 538 A.D.
00:19:01.57\00:19:06.68
WHEN THERE WENT INTO EFFECT
A DECREE OF EMPEROR JUSTINIAN,
00:19:06.71\00:19:10.61
MAKING THE BISHOP OF ROME" -
BETTER KNOWN AS THE POPE - TO BE
00:19:10.65\00:19:14.45
"HEAD OVER ALL THE CHURCHES,"
- HOW DID THE LEADER OF THE
00:19:14.48\00:19:17.65
CHRISTIAN CHURCH GET TO ROME?
DIDN'T THE EARLY COUNSELS OF
00:19:17.69\00:19:22.26
THE CHURCH HAPPEN IN JERUSALEM?
YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT THAT?
00:19:22.29\00:19:27.56
"MAKING THE BISHOP OF ROME
HEAD OVER ALL THE CHURCHES, THE
00:19:27.60\00:19:30.00
DEFINER OF DOCTRINE, AND
THE CORRECTOR OF HERETICS."
00:19:30.03\00:19:33.84
YOU CAN ALSO READ IN THE HISTORY
OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH ,
00:19:33.87\00:19:36.40
"VIGILIUS...ASCENDED THE
PAPAL CHAIR (538 AD) UNDER THE
00:19:36.44\00:19:40.58
MILITARY
PROTECTION OF BELISARIUS."
00:19:40.61\00:19:43.81
AND THE DATE IS
PRETTY WELL ESTABLISHED.
00:19:43.85\00:19:46.41
YOU START WITH 538, THEN IT SAYS
YOU GO 1260 YEARS - 42 MONTHS -
00:19:46.45\00:19:53.05
SAME TIME PERIOD - A TIME,
A TIME, AND HALF A TIME - THAT
00:19:53.09\00:19:57.29
TIME PERIOD IS A VERY IMPORTANT
TIME PERIOD AND IT'S GOING TO
00:19:57.33\00:19:59.83
REACH UNTO SOMETHING HAPPENING.
REVELATION 13:3, IT SAYS,
00:19:59.86\00:20:04.60
"...ONE OF THE HEADS AS
IT WERE WOUNDED TO DEATH:"
00:20:04.63\00:20:08.70
- BY THE SWORD. WHAT
DOES THE SWORD REPRESENT?
00:20:08.74\00:20:11.84
>>THE BIBLE. >>THE WORD OF GOD.
00:20:11.87\00:20:13.51
AND THE WORD OF GOD BEGAN TO GET
PRINTED AGAIN IN THE LANGUAGE OF
00:20:13.54\00:20:16.95
THE PEOPLE. THEY
STARTED SEEING SOME
00:20:16.98\00:20:18.61
OF THE INCONSISTENCIES.
THAT'S WHEN THE PROTESTANT
00:20:18.65\00:20:21.28
REFORMATION
STARTED IN THE 1500S.
00:20:21.32\00:20:23.28
BUT, FINALLY, THEY
LOST THEIR POLITICAL POWER.
00:20:23.32\00:20:26.09
IT SAYS THERE WAS A DEADLY WOUND
BUT THE WOUND WOULD BE HEALED
00:20:26.12\00:20:29.52
AND ALL THE WORLD
WOULD WONDER AFTER THE BEAST.
00:20:29.56\00:20:32.56
ALRIGHT, SO HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
00:20:32.59\00:20:34.50
YOU'VE HEARD OF
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE?
00:20:34.56\00:20:37.17
HE'S SWEEPING ACROSS EUROPE,
HAD GREAT CONTROL, HE CONQUERED
00:20:37.20\00:20:39.37
ITALY - ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
HE DID IS HE DIDN'T REALLY LIKE
00:20:39.40\00:20:43.37
THAT THE CHURCH IN ROME
WAS NOT SUPPORTING HIS EMPIRE.
00:20:43.41\00:20:46.78
YOU KNOW, HE DECLARED
HIMSELF TO BE THE EMPEROR.
00:20:46.81\00:20:48.81
THEY HAD TOO MUCH INFLUENCE.
YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD OF THE
00:20:48.84\00:20:51.05
FRENCH REVOLUTION - AND SO THE
MURDER OF A FRENCHMAN IN ROME
00:20:51.08\00:20:55.12
GAVE THEM THE EXCUSE FOR HIM TO
SEND HIS GENERAL, BERTHIER, INTO
00:20:55.15\00:20:59.75
ROME, HE ARRESTED THE POPE, HE
ABOLISHED THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT -
00:20:59.79\00:21:04.79
THAT HAPPENED IN 1798,
EXACTLY 1,260 YEARS AFTER 538.
00:21:04.83\00:21:11.93
BUT IT SAID THE DEADLY WOUND
WOULD BE HEALED AND ALL THE
00:21:11.97\00:21:15.17
WORLD WOULD
WONDER AFTER THE BEAST.
00:21:15.20\00:21:17.71
ANOTHER CHARACTER -
CHARACTERISTIC WE LEARNED, IT
00:21:17.74\00:21:20.34
SAID THIS BEAST POWER
WOULD BE GUILTY OF BLASPHEMY.
00:21:20.38\00:21:24.15
BLASPHEMY, BY DEFINITION,
THERE ARE TWO THINGS.
00:21:24.18\00:21:26.41
IT MEANS, FIRST OF ALL,
ONE CLAIMING THE POWERS OR
00:21:26.45\00:21:30.42
PREROGATIVES THAT BELONG TO GOD;
CLAIMING TO BE ABLE TO FORGIVE
00:21:30.45\00:21:33.66
SINS. AND SO,
DOES THIS BEAST POWER
00:21:33.69\00:21:37.19
MEET THOSE TWO DEFINITIONS?
APRIL 30, 1922, POPE PIUS SAID,
00:21:37.23\00:21:43.13
"YOU KNOW THAT I AM THE HOLY
FATHER, THE REPRESENTATIVE OF
00:21:43.16\00:21:46.50
GOD ON EARTH, THE VICAR
OF CHRIST, WHICH MEANS I
00:21:46.53\00:21:51.44
AM GOD ON THE EARTH."
THAT'S AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
00:21:51.47\00:21:56.08
- A DECLARATION OF THE POPE.
POPE LEO XIII, "THE SUPREME
00:21:56.11\00:22:00.08
TEACHER IN THE
CHURCH IS THE ROMAN PONTIFF.
00:22:00.12\00:22:03.49
UNION OF MINDS, THEREFORE,
REQUIRES, TOGETHER WITH A
00:22:03.52\00:22:06.72
PERFECT ACCORD IN THE ONE
FAITH, COMPLETE SUBMISSION AND
00:22:06.76\00:22:11.19
OBEDIENCE OF WILL TO THE CHURCH
AND TO THE ROMAN PONTIFF, AS TO
00:22:11.23\00:22:15.56
GOD HIMSELF." SEE,
PROTESTANTS, TYPICALLY,
00:22:15.60\00:22:19.47
WOULD CATEGORIZE
THAT AS BLASPHEMY.
00:22:19.50\00:22:23.04
ONE MORE YOU CAN READ IN 2
THESSALONIANS, PAUL SAID IN THE
00:22:23.07\00:22:26.01
LAST DAYS THIS ANTICHRIST POWER
WILL SIT IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD,
00:22:26.04\00:22:30.91
SHOWING HIMSELF
THAT HE IS GOD. >>WOW.
00:22:30.95\00:22:33.92
>>NOW THAT - THE TEMPLE OF
GOD DOESN'T MEAN JEWISH TEMPLE.
00:22:33.95\00:22:36.42
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'DON'T YOU KNOW
THAT YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD?'
00:22:36.45\00:22:39.65
IT MEANS THERE WOULD BE A
RELIGIOUS POWER THAT WOULD SIT
00:22:39.69\00:22:41.59
OVER THE PEOPLE OF GOD CLAIMING
PREROGATIVES THAT BELONG TO GOD.
00:22:41.62\00:22:45.53
SO, WHEN WE PRAY, DO WE
NEED TO GO THROUGH THE POPE?
00:22:45.56\00:22:49.40
DO WE NEED TO GO
THROUGH THE PRIESTS?
00:22:49.43\00:22:51.37
DO WE NEED TO GO THROUGH MARY?
OR, THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT,
00:22:51.40\00:22:54.30
DO WE GO DIRECTLY TO
JESUS? AND THROUGH JESUS, WE
00:22:54.34\00:22:56.74
GO TO THE FATHER, RIGHT? >>AMEN.
00:22:56.77\00:22:58.41
>>RIGHT. >>AMEN.
00:22:58.44\00:22:59.67
>>AND SO THINGS CHANGED IN THE
CHURCH THAT SEPARATED IT FROM
00:22:59.71\00:23:02.51
THE BIBLE AND IT OBSCURED THE
TRUTH. THAT'S WHY THIS IS ALSO
00:23:02.54\00:23:05.48
VERY IMPORTANT - "SO THAT
HE SITS AS GOD IN THE TEMPLE OF
00:23:05.51\00:23:08.42
GOD, SHOWING HIMSELF THAT HE
IS GOD." SECOND DEFINITION OF
00:23:08.45\00:23:10.65
BLASPHEMY WAS CLAIMING
TO BE ABLE TO FORGIVE SINS.
00:23:10.69\00:23:14.96
WELL, IF YOU LOOK IN THE
WRITINGS OF THE PRIESTHOOD -
00:23:14.99\00:23:18.49
THESE ARE NOT THINGS THAT
I'VE WRITTEN - IT SAYS THAT "GOD
00:23:18.53\00:23:22.93
HIMSELF IS OBLIGED TO ABIDE
BY THE JUDGMENT OF HIS PRIESTS."
00:23:22.96\00:23:26.70
- GOD IS 'OBLIGED' TO ABIDE
BY THE JUDGMENT OF HIS PRIESTS -
00:23:26.74\00:23:30.11
"AND EITHER NOT TO PARDON OR TO
PARDON, ACCORDING AS THEY REFUSE
00:23:30.14\00:23:34.54
OR GIVE ABSOLUTION." SO
THE PRIESTS DECIDE WHETHER
00:23:34.58\00:23:38.31
OR NOT GOD IS
GOING TO PARDON A PERSON.
00:23:38.35\00:23:40.52
NOW THAT IS A VERY CONVENIENT
TEACHING BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU
00:23:40.55\00:23:43.42
CAN'T BE FORGIVEN WITHOUT GOING
THROUGH THE PAPAL HIERARCHY.
00:23:43.45\00:23:48.19
THE BIBLE SAYS YOU CAN GO
DIRECTLY - I CAN COME BOLDLY
00:23:48.22\00:23:50.99
BEFORE THE THRONE
OF GRACE THROUGH JESUS.
00:23:51.03\00:23:53.03
>>AMEN.
00:23:53.06\00:23:53.76
>>AND, YOU
KNOW, DON'T MISUNDER--
00:23:53.80\00:23:55.00
- THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE - AND
EVEN SOME OF THE LEADERSHIP, I
00:23:55.03\00:23:57.80
THINK, DON'T
UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS.
00:23:57.83\00:23:59.33
I'VE HAD PRIESTS THAT HAVE COME
TO OR WATCHED THESE PROGRAMS AND
00:23:59.37\00:24:02.94
SAID, 'PASTOR DOUG, FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE MY EYES
00:24:02.97\00:24:05.37
ARE OPENED.' AND THEY CAME TO
CHRIST AND THEY UNDERSTOOD THE
00:24:05.41\00:24:07.81
BIBLE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE
00:24:07.84\00:24:09.74
GOT TO PREACH THE TRUTH. >>AMEN.
00:24:09.78\00:24:11.21
>>AND YOU'RE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO
MAKE FRIENDS WHEN YOU PREACH THE
00:24:11.25\00:24:13.11
TRUTH, BUT THE TRUTH IS THE
TRUTH AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE.
00:24:13.15\00:24:15.85
JESUS SAID, 'I'M THE SAME
YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER.'
00:24:15.88\00:24:17.75
>>AMEN. >>OH, BY THE WAY, I
00:24:17.79\00:24:19.09
DIDN'T FINISH THAT QUOTE. IT
GOES ON TO SAY, "THE SENTENCE
00:24:19.12\00:24:21.92
OF THE PRIEST PRECEDES, AND
GOD SUBSCRIBES" - HE FOLLOWS THE
00:24:21.96\00:24:25.96
SENTENCE OF THE PRIESTS.
IT SAYS IT WOULD GO ON - THIS
00:24:25.99\00:24:31.57
BEAST POWER WOULD THINK
TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS.
00:24:31.60\00:24:35.24
DID YOU KNOW THAT IN
THE OFFICIAL WRITINGS OF THE
00:24:35.27\00:24:37.01
CATHOLIC CHURCH - AND YOU'VE
GOT THE REFERENCE THERE ON THE
00:24:37.04\00:24:39.91
SCREEN - IT SAYS, "THE POPE
HAS POWER TO CHANGE TIMES TO
00:24:39.94\00:24:44.21
ABROGATE LAWS AND TO DISPENSE
WITH ALL THINGS, EVEN THE
00:24:44.25\00:24:48.22
PRECEPTS OF CHRIST."
THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST.
00:24:48.25\00:24:51.52
I - WHENEVER I GO PLAY
RACQUETBALL IN SACRAMENTO, I
00:24:51.55\00:24:54.52
DRIVE BY THIS CATHOLIC
CONGREGATION - VERY NICE - AND
00:24:54.56\00:24:58.66
THEY'VE GOT A TEN
COMMANDMENTS OUTSIDE.
00:24:58.69\00:25:00.23
I APPRECIATE THAT. AND
I STOPPED ONE TIME TO LOOK
00:25:00.26\00:25:01.76
AT IT - A BEAUTIFUL PEACE
OF ART - THEY DON'T HAVE THE
00:25:01.80\00:25:05.03
SECOND
COMMANDMENT. IT'S BEEN REMOVED.
00:25:05.07\00:25:08.24
WHAT THEY DID IS THEY DIVIDED
THE TENTH COMMANDMENT - CHECK
00:25:08.27\00:25:10.07
FOR YOURSELF - THEY DIVIDED THE
TENTH COMMANDMENT, THEY TOOK OUT
00:25:10.11\00:25:13.71
THE ONE ABOUT IDOLATRY SO THAT
THEY'D STILL HAVE THE NUMBER
00:25:13.74\00:25:17.05
TEN. THEY SIMPLY
SAY, 'THOU SHALT NOT
00:25:17.08\00:25:19.41
HAVE OTHER GODS' - THEY
SKIP OVER THE WHOLE THING ABOUT
00:25:19.45\00:25:21.28
MAKING IDOLS AND BOWING DOWN.
NOW, FRIENDS, AS I SHARE THESE
00:25:21.32\00:25:25.25
THINGS WITH YOU, THE MAIN
THING I WANT YOU TO DO IS SAY,
00:25:25.29\00:25:29.72
'WHAT DOES THE BIBLE
SAY?' DID GOD FORETELL WHAT WAS
00:25:29.76\00:25:33.36
GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE WORLD?
NOW I'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT
00:25:33.40\00:25:36.03
TONIGHT ABOUT
CATHOLICISM IN PROPHECY.
00:25:36.06\00:25:39.47
ON ANOTHER NIGHT I'LL BE TALKING
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, REVELATION 17
00:25:39.50\00:25:42.47
IT SAYS THAT WOMAN THAT RIDES
THE BEAST IS CALLED THE MOTHER
00:25:42.50\00:25:45.24
OF HARLOTS. SO
SHE HAS DAUGHTERS.
00:25:45.27\00:25:49.34
WHAT DOES A WOMAN
REPRESENT? >>A CHURCH.
00:25:49.38\00:25:50.91
>>A CHURCH. IT
MEANS THERE'S OTHERS AND,
00:25:50.95\00:25:53.35
BECAUSE SHE'S A HARLOT, HER
DAUGHTERS ARE ALSO UNFAITHFUL.
00:25:53.38\00:25:56.79
AND HERE, WE'RE FINDING
OUT THAT THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER
00:25:56.82\00:26:00.12
CHRISTIANS IN OTHER
DENOMINATIONS - DAUGHTERS THAT
00:26:00.16\00:26:02.62
HAVE COME OUT OF
THE MOTHER CHURCH -
00:26:02.66\00:26:04.03
THAT ARE ALSO UNFAITHFUL.
00:26:04.06\00:26:05.79
SO I'M GOING TO BE TALKING -
BECAUSE PROPHECY TALKS ABOUT A
00:26:05.83\00:26:08.33
LOT OF UNFAITHFULNESS THAT
HAS TAKEN PLACE IN PROPHECY.
00:26:08.36\00:26:12.47
JESUS WANTS TO BRING HIS PEOPLE
BACK TO THE WORD BEFORE HE
00:26:12.50\00:26:16.10
RETURNS, AND THAT'S WHY
WE PROCLAIM THESE MESSAGES.
00:26:16.14\00:26:19.04
THE IDEA OF
PROPHECY IS REDEMPTIVE.
00:26:19.07\00:26:21.98
THIS ISN'T ABOUT BUILDING UP
OR PUTTING DOWN ONE INSTITUTION
00:26:22.01\00:26:24.88
OVER ANOTHER, IT'S ABOUT SAYING,
'WHAT ARE THE TEACHINGS OF
00:26:24.91\00:26:28.28
JESUS? WHAT IS
THE TRUTH THAT WILL
00:26:28.32\00:26:30.32
SAVE US FROM OUR SINS?' >>AMEN.
00:26:30.35\00:26:32.79
>>CHRIST GAVE US THESE
PROPHECIES, NOT TO INTRIGUE US,
00:26:32.82\00:26:36.59
BUT TO BE REDEMPTIVE - TO SAVE
US. AND THERE'S A LOT OF DEAR
00:26:36.62\00:26:39.89
PEOPLE THAT ARE MIXED
UP IN FALSE TEACHINGS.
00:26:39.93\00:26:43.37
AND WITH EVERY TRUTH THAT A
PERSON LEARNS - JESUS SAID THE
00:26:43.40\00:26:46.53
TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE - IT
LIBERATES - IT SAVES - IT HELPS
00:26:46.57\00:26:51.34
PEOPLE TO SEE THE LIGHT AND TO
UNDERSTAND THE CHARACTER OF GOD
00:26:51.37\00:26:54.64
BETTER. CAN YOU SAY 'AMEN'?
