GOES TO THE WORLD BEFORE CHRIST
00:00:52.83\00:00:55.13
COMES BACK IS BABYLON HAS
FALLEN, COME OUT OF HER MY
00:00:55.13\00:00:58.23
PEOPLE, IF ANY MAN WORSHIPS
THE BEAST IN HIS IMAGE THE WRATH
00:00:58.23\00:01:01.13
OF GOD IS POURED OUT ON
THAT PERSON, THEN JESUS COMES.
00:01:01.13\00:01:04.03
IT'S A MESSAGE THAT NEEDS TO
GO TO THE WORLD AND I DON'T WANT
00:01:04.03\00:01:06.66
ANYONE'S BLOOD ON MY HANDS SO
I WANT TO BE FAITHFUL TO GIVE IT
00:01:06.66\00:01:09.30
TO YOU STRAIGHT, BUT LOVINGLY.
00:01:09.30\00:01:11.56
PRAY FOR ME THAT
I CAN DO IT RIGHT.
00:01:11.56\00:01:13.20
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE POINTS
THAT WE FIND WHEN WE LOOK AT
00:01:13.20\00:01:15.16
ALL THESE PASSAGES IN
PROPHECY DEALING WITH THE BEAST?
00:01:15.16\00:01:17.86
WELL, IT TELLS US THAT,
FIRST OF ALL, IT'S COMES UP
00:01:17.86\00:01:19.86
FROM AMONG THE TEN POWERS.
00:01:19.86\00:01:22.93
IT HAS A HUMAN LEADER.
00:01:22.93\00:01:25.16
THERE ARE TEN POINTS HERE.
00:01:25.16\00:01:26.16
WE'RE DOING A THROUGH J.
00:01:26.16\00:01:27.66
IT UPROOTS THREE.
00:01:27.66\00:01:29.00
IT'S DIVERSE OR
DIFFERENT FROM OTHER POWERS.
00:01:29.00\00:01:31.40
IT'S A PERSECUTING POWER.
00:01:31.40\00:01:33.03
IT COMES UP AFTER THE FALL
OF THE ROMAN POWER IN A.D. 476.
00:01:33.03\00:01:37.10
IT RULES FOR A TIME,
TIME, THE DIVIDING OF TIMES
00:01:37.10\00:01:39.93
OR 1,260 YEARS.
00:01:39.93\00:01:41.43
IT'S GUILTY OF BLASPHEMY.
00:01:41.43\00:01:43.00
IT CHANGES GOD'S
LAW, OR ATTEMPTS TO.
00:01:43.00\00:01:46.20
AND IT'S IDENTIFIED AS
THIS LITTLE HORN KINGDOM.
00:01:46.20\00:01:49.50
IT'S A KINGDOM POWER.
00:01:49.50\00:01:50.66
NOW QUESTION NUMBER TEN,
WITH ALL THESE TEN POINTS THAT
00:01:50.66\00:01:55.16
WE JUST LOOKED AT, IF
YOU APPLY THEM TO THE PAPACY,
00:01:55.16\00:02:00.06
DOES IT FIT?
00:02:00.06\00:02:02.30
ALL RIGHT, ONE BY ONE LET'S
LOOK AT THEM AND STAY WITH ME.
00:02:02.30\00:02:04.36
I'M GIVING YOU A LOT OF
INFORMATION NOW AND I KNOW THAT
00:02:04.36\00:02:06.96
IT'S SOMETIMES MORE
ENTERTAINING FOR ME TO TELL YOU
00:02:06.96\00:02:09.03
LITTLE ANECDOTES AND STORIES,
BUT I WANT YOU TO THINK BECAUSE
00:02:09.03\00:02:12.46
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
00:02:12.46\00:02:13.60
YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO TUNE
IN AND LISTEN TO THESE QUOTES.
00:02:13.60\00:02:16.70
A, DOES IT FIT THE CRITERIA OF
COMING UP AMONG THE TEN POWERS
00:02:16.70\00:02:20.96
OF THE WESTERN EUROPE?
00:02:20.96\00:02:23.33
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE
GEOGRAPHY OF EUROPE, WAS ROME
00:02:23.33\00:02:27.43
IN THE MIDST OF THAT?
00:02:27.43\00:02:29.43
SO WHEN IT COMES UP AMONG
ROME, DOES IT FIT THAT CRITERIA?
00:02:29.43\00:02:32.80
LET ME HEAR YOU SAY,
"YES" IF YOU THINK SO.
00:02:32.80\00:02:34.96
I MEAN IT'S RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE THERE.
00:02:34.96\00:02:36.50
IT TELLS US IN REVELATION
12, "THE DRAGON IS THE DEVIL
00:02:36.50\00:02:41.73
WORKING THROUGH PAGAN ROME."
00:02:41.73\00:02:43.43
WHAT POWER WAS IT THAT
WAS CONTROLLING THE WORLD IN
00:02:43.43\00:02:45.50
CHAPTER 12 OF REVELATION THAT
TRIED TO DESTROY JESUS' BABY?
00:02:45.50\00:02:50.43
IT WAS THE ROMAN POWER, SO
WE KNOW IT COMES UP FROM THERE.
00:02:50.43\00:02:52.73
IT SAYS IN REVELATION 13:2,
"AND THE DRAGON GAVE HIM HIS
00:02:52.73\00:02:56.86
POWER, HIS SEAT, AND
HIS GREAT AUTHORITY."
00:02:56.86\00:02:59.00
THAT MEANS, ITS SEAT OF
AUTHORITY, ITS THRONE, SO TO
00:02:59.00\00:03:01.56
SPEAK, IS HANDED OVER BY ROME.
00:03:01.56\00:03:04.20
ROME GIVES THIS
BEAST POWER ITS POSITION.
00:03:04.20\00:03:07.50
DOES THE PAPACY OR THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH FIT THAT CRITERIA?
00:03:07.50\00:03:11.20
LOOK AT WHAT HISTORY SAYS.
00:03:11.20\00:03:12.56
WE KNOW THAT WITH THE
LEGALIZATION OF CHRISTIANITY
00:03:12.56\00:03:15.10
UNDER THE TIME OF CONSTANTINE
AND THEN CONSTANTINE NOT ONLY
00:03:15.10\00:03:19.13
LEGALIZED CHRISTIANITY, HE
MOVED THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE
00:03:19.13\00:03:21.83
EMPIRE TO CONSTANTINOPLE, NAMED
IT AFTER HIMSELF, ISTANBUL.
00:03:21.83\00:03:27.06
HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS IN ABBOTT'S
ROMAN HISTORY, "THE TRANSFER OF
00:03:27.06\00:03:31.86
THE EMPEROR'S RESIDENCE TO
CONSTANTINOPLE WAS A SAD BLOW
00:03:31.86\00:03:35.90
TO THE PRESTIGE OF ROME,
AND AT THAT TIME ONE MIGHT HAVE
00:03:35.90\00:03:39.40
PREDICTED HER SPEEDY DECLINE.
00:03:39.40\00:03:41.80
BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE CHURCH AND THE GROWING
00:03:41.80\00:03:44.76
AUTHORITY OF THE BISHOP OF
ROME, OR THE POPE, GAVE HER
00:03:44.76\00:03:47.80
A NEW LEASE ON LIFE, AND
MADE HER," MEANING ROME, "AGAIN
00:03:47.80\00:03:52.13
THE CAPITAL BUT THIS
TIME THE RELIGIOUS CAPITAL OF
00:03:52.13\00:03:55.43
THE CIVILIZED WORLD."
00:03:55.43\00:03:56.66
SO DID THE CHURCH RECEIVE
ITS SEAT FROM THE ROMAN EMPIRE?
00:03:56.66\00:04:01.63
DOES IT FIT THAT CRITERIA?
00:04:01.63\00:04:02.76
TALK TO ME HERE
IN MICHIGAN PLEASE?
00:04:02.76\00:04:04.73
YES, OKAY.
00:04:04.73\00:04:05.43
YOU ALL LOOK REAL
SERIOUS HERE, YOU'RE SCARING ME.
00:04:05.43\00:04:08.40
IT GOES ON TO SAY THAT THIS
BEAST POWER WOULD RECEIVE ITS
00:04:08.40\00:04:12.93
SEAT, ITS POWER AND
AUTHORITY FROM ROME.
00:04:12.93\00:04:15.90
NOT ONLY WERE THEY GIVEN,
BASICALLY, THE VERY PALACES
00:04:15.90\00:04:18.86
THAT THE EMPEROR USED TO
LIVE IN, BUT HE THEN GAVE THEM
00:04:18.86\00:04:21.96
AN ARMY.
00:04:21.96\00:04:23.13
HE GAVE THEM AUTHORITY AND
HE SAID, "THE CHURCH IS NOT JUST
00:04:23.13\00:04:24.83
A RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION
NOW, WE'RE GONNA MAKE YOU
00:04:24.83\00:04:27.33
A POLITICAL INSTITUTION NOW."
00:04:27.33\00:04:28.96
AND THEY WERE BASICALLY HANDED
ALL THESE THINGS, THE PROPHECY
00:04:28.96\00:04:32.33
FITS THAT PERFECTLY.
00:04:32.33\00:04:34.40
"TO THE SUCCESSION OF THE
CAESAR'S CAME THE SUCCESSION OF
00:04:34.40\00:04:37.30
THE PONTIFF IN ROME.
00:04:37.30\00:04:38.76
WHEN CONSTANTINE LEFT ROME, HE
GAVE HIS SEAT TO THE PONTIFF."
00:04:38.76\00:04:42.93
RIGHT OUT OF HISTORY, IT
SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RIGHT OUT OF
00:04:42.93\00:04:44.86
THE BIBLE.
00:04:44.86\00:04:45.70
ALL RIGHT, THE NEXT
CRITERIA, ISSUE B, WE'RE LOOKING
00:04:45.70\00:04:49.40
AT THE EVIDENCE NOW.
00:04:49.40\00:04:50.43
IT SAYS, IT WOULD HAVE A MAN,
AN INDIVIDUAL, WHO WOULD SPEAK
00:04:50.43\00:04:54.10
FOR IT.
00:04:54.10\00:04:55.16
THERE WOULD BE A MAN WHO
HAD A MOUTH THAT WOULD BE THE
00:04:55.16\00:04:57.13
SPOKESMAN, A PERSON AT
THE HEAD OF THE PAPACY.
00:04:57.13\00:05:02.16
WOULD WE ALL AGREE THAT
THE PAPACY, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
00:05:02.16\00:05:05.80
CHURCH, HAS ONE INDIVIDUAL?
00:05:05.80\00:05:07.63
IF I ASK YOU WHO'S THE HEAD
OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHAT DO
00:05:07.63\00:05:09.23
YOU TELL ME?
00:05:09.23\00:05:10.90
IS IT A PARLIAMENT?
00:05:10.90\00:05:12.76
IS IT A SENATE, A
CONGRESS OR IT IS ONE PERSON?
00:05:12.76\00:05:15.70
IT'S THE POPE.
00:05:15.70\00:05:16.60
IT SAYS POWER WAS GIVEN HIM.
00:05:16.60\00:05:18.33
REVELATION 13:7,
"OVER ALL KINDREDS,
00:05:18.33\00:05:21.46
AND TONGUES AND NATIONS."
00:05:21.46\00:05:23.70
I THINK EVERYBODY AGREES
THAT THE POPE IS THE UNDISPUTED
00:05:23.70\00:05:27.96
LEADER OF THE PAPACY.
00:05:27.96\00:05:30.46
DOES IT FIT THAT CRITERIA?
00:05:30.46\00:05:31.83
LISTEN TO THIS QUOTE--AND
BY THE WAY, THE QUOTES THAT I'M
00:05:31.83\00:05:34.73
READING YOU, MANY OF THESE,
THEY'RE EITHER FROM HISTORY OR
00:05:34.73\00:05:36.50
FROM THE PAPACY'S OWN WRITINGS.
00:05:36.50\00:05:39.03
THIS IS AN
EXAMPLE OF THE LATTER.
00:05:39.03\00:05:40.93
"WE MOREOVER, PROCLAIM--" THIS
IS A DECLARATION FROM A PAPAL
00:05:40.93\00:05:44.23
BULL.
00:05:44.23\00:05:45.60
"AND DECLARE AND PRONOUNCE THAT
IT IS ALTOGETHER NECESSARY TO
00:05:45.60\00:05:50.00
SALVATION FOR EVERY HUMAN
BEING TO BE SUBJECT TO THE ROMAN
00:05:50.00\00:05:53.96
PONTIFF."
00:05:53.96\00:05:55.23
YOU CATCH THAT?
00:05:55.23\00:05:56.16
IT IS NECESSARY FOR
SALVATION FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING
00:05:56.16\00:05:59.13
TO SUBJECT TO THE POPE,
THAT'S THE TRANSLATION OF THAT.
00:05:59.13\00:06:02.33
SO IT MEETS THAT CRITERIA
OF ONE INDIVIDUAL AT THE HEAD.
00:06:02.33\00:06:05.86
EVIDENCE C, LET'S
SEE IF IT FITS THIS NOW.
00:06:05.86\00:06:09.53
"IT WOULD PLUCK UP OR UPROOT
THREE OTHER KINGDOMS WHILE IT
00:06:09.53\00:06:12.10
COMES INTO POWER."
00:06:12.10\00:06:13.63
NOW WE'VE GOT TO GO TO HISTORY.
00:06:13.63\00:06:16.03
THE THREE ARIAN KINGDOMS OF
THE VANDALS, THE HERULI AND THE
00:06:16.03\00:06:21.23
OSTROGOTHS WERE
OVERTHROWN BETWEEN 493-538.
00:06:21.23\00:06:27.30
AND WHEN THE ROMAN CHURCH CAME
INTO POWER AND THEY WERE GIVEN
00:06:27.30\00:06:31.26
MILITARY POWER, ONE OF THE
FIRST THINGS THEY DID WAS TO
00:06:31.26\00:06:34.26
SUBJUGATE THESE THREE KINGDOMS.
00:06:34.26\00:06:36.53
YOU'VE HEARD OF VANDALISM,
YOU KNOW WHERE VANDALISM COMES
00:06:36.53\00:06:39.86
FROM?
00:06:39.86\00:06:40.76
BECAUSE THE VANDALS, THEY WERE
A CHRISTIAN NATION, THEY WERE
00:06:40.76\00:06:44.10
ARIANS.
00:06:44.10\00:06:44.93
THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IN
THE TRINITY BUT THEY ALSO WERE
00:06:44.93\00:06:46.33
AGAINST IDOLATRY AND AS
IDOLATRY BEGAN TO CREEP INTO
00:06:46.33\00:06:49.53
THE CHURCH, THEY WOULD GO AND
THEY WOULD DEFACE OR BREAK UP
00:06:49.53\00:06:53.36
THE IDOLS THAT THE CHURCH WAS
BEGINNING TO WORSHIP AND THEY
00:06:53.36\00:06:56.10
CALLED THEM VANDALS.
00:06:56.10\00:06:57.90
VANDALISM, THAT'S
WHERE THE WORD COMES FROM.
00:06:57.90\00:07:00.23
THEY WERE DESTROYED.
00:07:00.23\00:07:01.46
HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER MET
SOMEONE FROM THE OSTROGOTHS
00:07:01.46\00:07:04.96
OR THE HERULI?
00:07:04.96\00:07:08.00
YOU SAY, "WELL, I'VE MET SOME
VANDALS BEFORE," BUT NO THEY'RE
00:07:08.00\00:07:09.60
NOT RELATED TO THE VANDALS
BACK IN THE ANCIENT KINGDOM.
00:07:09.60\00:07:13.00
THEY WERE UPROOTED BY THE
ROMAN POWER, BY THE PAPACY.
00:07:13.00\00:07:16.33
SO DOES IT MEET THAT CRITERIA?
00:07:16.33\00:07:17.50
YES, IT DOES.
00:07:17.50\00:07:19.36
EVIDENCE D, IT SAYS IT'S
A DIVERSE POWER FROM THESE
00:07:19.36\00:07:23.43
OTHER KINGDOMS.
00:07:23.43\00:07:24.26
INSTEAD OF IT JUST
BEING A KINGDOM LIKE BABYLON,
00:07:24.26\00:07:27.20
MEDO-PERSIA, GREECE AND ROME,
THIS IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S
00:07:27.20\00:07:29.93
IRON MIXED WITH CLAY.
00:07:29.93\00:07:32.46
IT'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE
PAPACY IS A KINGDOM WHERE YOU
00:07:32.46\00:07:38.83
CAN HAVE DUAL CITIZENSHIP.
00:07:38.83\00:07:41.60
YOU MIGHT BE FROM ARGENTINA
AND BE FROM THE KINGDOM OF
00:07:41.60\00:07:44.23
THE PAPACY AT THE SAME TIME BY
BEING A MEMBER OF THAT CHURCH.
00:07:44.23\00:07:48.03
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:07:48.03\00:07:49.16
IT'S BOTH
RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL.
00:07:49.16\00:07:51.96
ONE BILLION
MEMBERS AROUND THE WORLD.
00:07:51.96\00:07:55.66
DO YOU THINK PROPHECY
MIGHT TOUCH ON SOMETHING THAT
00:07:55.66\00:07:57.30
PROFOUND, THAT HAD SO MUCH
POWER DURING THE DARK AGES?
00:07:57.30\00:08:01.26
ABSOLUTELY, IT'S IN THERE
BUT IT'S JUST NOT POLITICALLY
00:08:01.26\00:08:03.43
CORRECT IF YOU SAY THESE THINGS.
00:08:03.43\00:08:05.73
ANSWER E, "IT WOULD MAKE WAR
WITH AND PERSECUTE THE SAINTS."
00:08:05.73\00:08:11.63
WE READ THAT IN THE BIBLE THAT
IT WOULD WEAR OUT THE SAINTS OF
00:08:11.63\00:08:13.36
THE MOST HIGH, IT
WOULD BE A PERSECUTING POWER.
00:08:13.36\00:08:15.66
WELL, IF YOU KNOW YOUR
HISTORY AT ALL AND WHEN I WENT
00:08:15.66\00:08:18.33
TO SCHOOL, IT WAS
STILL IN THE HISTORY BOOKS.
00:08:18.33\00:08:19.93
I DON'T KNOW IF
IT'S STILL THERE NOW.
00:08:19.93\00:08:21.46
ANYONE EVER HEARD
OF THE INQUISITION?
00:08:21.46\00:08:23.00
I THINK YOU COULD LOOK IT
UP AND STILL FIND IT IF YOU GO
00:08:23.00\00:08:24.96
TO AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
00:08:24.96\00:08:26.46
BUT THERE WAS
TREMENDOUS PERSECUTION.
00:08:26.46\00:08:29.03
AS SOON AS YOU GIVE ANY CHURCH
MILITARY POWER, IT'S GONNA BE
00:08:29.03\00:08:31.90
ABUSED.
00:08:31.90\00:08:33.26
DID JESUS EVER
COMPEL PEOPLE TO FOLLOW HIM?
00:08:33.26\00:08:37.10
WHEN HE SAID TO SOMEBODY,
"YOU KNOW, FOLLOW ME AND IF YOU
00:08:37.10\00:08:40.56
DON'T, WE'RE GONNA GET THE
POLICE AFTER YOU OR WE'RE GONNA
00:08:40.56\00:08:42.73
GET THE SOLDIERS AFTER YOU.
00:08:42.73\00:08:44.10
WE'RE GONNA TORTURE
YOU UNTIL YOU BELIEVE LIKE
00:08:44.10\00:08:45.86
I TELL YOU TO."
00:08:45.86\00:08:46.66
IS THAT HOW CHRIST OPERATED?
00:08:46.66\00:08:48.30
DID HE TELL THE
CHURCH TO OPERATE THAT WAY?
00:08:48.30\00:08:50.30
NO, BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.
00:08:50.30\00:08:51.63
THESE ARE NOT GOD'S METHODS.
00:08:51.63\00:08:52.80
REVELATION 13, IT TELLS US IN
VERSE 7, "AND IT WAS GIVEN UNTO
00:08:52.80\00:08:59.03
HIM TO MAKE WAR WITH THE
SAINTS, AND TO OVERCOME THEM."
00:08:59.03\00:09:01.93
THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE GETS
VICTORY OVER THE SAINTS BUT
00:09:01.93\00:09:03.40
THEY'RE PUSHED UNDERGROUND
AND THIS BEAST'S POWER IS
00:09:03.40\00:09:06.16
IN PROMINENCE.
00:09:06.16\00:09:07.63
IT BECOMES A
SUCCESSFUL COUNTERFEIT.
00:09:07.63\00:09:11.16
"IT IS WELL KNOWN FACT
FROM HISTORY THAT THE CHURCH DID
00:09:11.16\00:09:15.23
PERSECUTE.
00:09:15.23\00:09:16.56
THE PAPACY
CLEARLY ADMITS DOING SO."
00:09:16.56\00:09:19.53
I REALLY ADMIRED
POPE JOHN PAUL II.
00:09:19.53\00:09:21.93
I DON'T KNOW IF I TOLD
YOU, MY FATHER MET HIM.
00:09:21.93\00:09:24.36
FLEW TO ROME AND HAD
AN AUDIENCE WITH THE POPE.
00:09:24.36\00:09:26.70
AND HE SAID, JUST A LOVELY MAN.
00:09:26.70\00:09:28.73
AND THE NEW POPE, POPE BENEDICT
MIGHT BE A LOVELY INDIVIDUAL.
00:09:28.73\00:09:32.90
WE'RE NOT SPEAKING ABOUT THEM.
00:09:32.90\00:09:34.40
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE POSITIONS THEY HOLD
00:09:34.40\00:09:35.73
AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE
MOVEMENT, THE INSTITUTION
00:09:35.73\00:09:38.13
AND WHAT THEY'VE
DONE HISTORICALLY.
00:09:38.13\00:09:40.36
BUT POPE JOHN PAUL II, PART
OF THE 2000 JUBILEE WAS A PUBLIC
00:09:40.36\00:09:44.60
CONFESSION FOR THE
ABUSES OF THE CHURCH.
00:09:44.60\00:09:47.93
BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW IT'S WORDED?
00:09:47.93\00:09:49.76
THEY ARE VERY
CAREFUL HOW THEY WORD THINGS.
00:09:49.76\00:09:52.13
THEY WORDED IT THAT SOME IN
OUR CHURCH DID SOME THINGS TO
00:09:52.13\00:09:56.13
PERSECUTE AS THOUGH THE
CHURCH DIDN'T APPROVE IT.
00:09:56.13\00:10:00.40
AND OH, MAN, SOME OF THE
FIGURES RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 50
00:10:00.40\00:10:03.70
TO 70 MILLION PEOPLE FROM 538
TO 1798, NOT ONLY CHRISTIANS,
00:10:03.70\00:10:08.80
BUT JEWS AND OTHERS WERE KILLED
UNDER THE NAME OF THE CHURCH.
00:10:08.80\00:10:14.86
THE BRITISH HISTORIAN,
WILLIAM EDWARD LECKY WROTE:
00:10:14.86\00:10:18.46
"THAT THE CHURCH OF ROME HAS
SHED MORE INNOCENT BLOOD THAN
00:10:18.46\00:10:23.06
ANY OTHER INSTITUTION THAT
HAS EVER EXISTED AMONG MAN KIND,
00:10:23.06\00:10:27.30
WILL NOT BE QUESTIONED BY ANY
PROTESTANT WHO HAS A COMPETENT
00:10:27.30\00:10:31.03
KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY."
00:10:31.03\00:10:32.80
ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS
GO TO EUROPE AND TOUR SOME OF
00:10:32.80\00:10:35.10
THE CHURCHES.
00:10:35.10\00:10:36.16
I'VE BEEN THERE.
00:10:36.16\00:10:36.73
YOU CAN DO IT IN SOUTH AMERICA
TOO 'CAUSE THEY EVEN HAD--SOME
00:10:36.73\00:10:38.80
OF THE CHURCHES HAD
THESE PLACES WHERE THEY HAD
00:10:38.80\00:10:40.36
IMPLEMENTS OF
TORTURE UNDER THE CHURCH.
00:10:40.36\00:10:43.06
AND THEY SAY, "COME ON DOWN,
PAY A FEE, WE'LL SHOW YOU."
00:10:43.06\00:10:44.76
AND YOU CAN SEE THE DUNGEONS
AND THE TORTURE CHAMBERS AND IT
00:10:44.76\00:10:49.83
IS JUST A FACT OF HISTORY.
00:10:49.83\00:10:52.83
SO DOES THE PAPACY FIT THAT
CRITERIA THAT WE READ ABOUT OF
00:10:52.83\00:10:56.50
BEING A PERSECUTING POWER?
00:10:56.50\00:10:59.23
YES, IT DOES.
00:10:59.23\00:10:59.93
EVIDENCE F, "IT WOULD EMERGE
FROM THE FOURTH KINGDOM OF
00:10:59.93\00:11:03.56
IRON, PAGAN ROME."
00:11:03.56\00:11:05.66
DID THE PAPACY COME
UP FROM THE ROMAN EMPIRE?
00:11:05.66\00:11:09.26
YES, IT CAME UP
RIGHT FROM THE SEAT.
00:11:09.26\00:11:10.96
GOES ON TO SAY IN
REVELATION 17:13, "THE WATERS
00:11:10.96\00:11:13.96
THAT YOU SAWEST ARE PEOPLES,
AND MULTITUDES, AND NATIONS,
00:11:13.96\00:11:17.20
AND TONGUES."
00:11:17.20\00:11:18.13
AND WITH THE SWIPE OF A
PEN, CONSTANTINE BASICALLY MADE
00:11:18.13\00:11:23.70
THE ROMAN POWER RULED BY
THE EMPERORS, THE ROMAN EMPIRE
00:11:23.70\00:11:29.40
RULED BY A CHURCH.
00:11:29.40\00:11:32.26
AND IT SUDDENLY WENT
FROM IRON TO IRON AND CLAY.
00:11:32.26\00:11:35.80
CLAY, IN THE BIBLE,
IS WHAT GOD MADE MAN OF.
00:11:35.80\00:11:37.93
IT'S THE SYMBOL FOR
RELIGION THERE, IT'S NOT JUST
00:11:37.93\00:11:39.70
A POLITICAL POWER.
00:11:39.70\00:11:41.20
IT TELLS US THAT THE
PAPACY AROSE FROM THE CENTER OF
00:11:41.20\00:11:43.46
CIVILIZATION.
00:11:43.46\00:11:45.23
THIS IS JUST ALL
THROUGH THE HISTORY BOOKS.
00:11:45.23\00:11:47.20
ANSWER G, WE GO ON TO LEARN,
"GOD'S PEOPLE, OR THE SAINTS,
00:11:47.20\00:11:52.53
WOULD BE GIVEN INTO HIS
HAND FOR A TIME AND A TIMES
00:11:52.53\00:11:56.93
AND THE DIVIDING OF TIME."
00:11:56.93\00:11:59.56
THAT'S 3 & 1/2 YEARS.
00:11:59.56\00:12:02.56
AND IT GOES ON AGAIN IN
REVELATION 13:5, "ALL POWER WAS
00:12:02.56\00:12:07.43
GIVEN UNTO HIM TO
CONTINUE FORTY AND TWO MONTHS."
00:12:07.43\00:12:11.73
WELL, DOES THE
CHURCH FIT THAT CRITERIA?
00:12:11.73\00:12:14.63
"THE LEGALLY RECOGNIZED
SUPREMACY OF THE POPE BEGAN
00:12:14.63\00:12:19.26
IN 538 A.D. WHEN THERE
WENT INTO EFFECT A DECREE
00:12:19.26\00:12:23.60
OF EMPEROR JUSTINIAN,
MAKING THE BISHOP OF ROME HEAD
00:12:23.60\00:12:27.23
OVER ALL THE CHURCHES,
THE DEFINER OF DOCTRINE
00:12:27.23\00:12:30.30
AND THE CORRECTOR OF HERETICS."
00:12:30.30\00:12:32.83
PAUL, IN ONE OF HIS
LETTERS, HE WRITES TO THE CHURCH
00:12:32.83\00:12:35.06
AND HE SAYS, "YOUR
BRETHREN IN BABYLON."
00:12:35.06\00:12:37.20
YOU THINK HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT ANCIENT BABYLON THAT WAS
00:12:37.20\00:12:39.60
SWALLOWED UP BY THE DESERT?
00:12:39.60\00:12:42.03
THEY WERE ALREADY BEGINNING TO
CALL ROME BABYLON AT THAT TIME.
00:12:42.03\00:12:47.90
THE CHURCH RECOGNIZED
IT SYMBOLICALLY AS BABYLON.
00:12:47.90\00:12:50.56
AGAIN, YOU CAN READ, "VIGILIUS
ASCENDED THE PAPAL CHAIR
00:12:50.56\00:12:54.83
(538 A.D.) UNDER THE MILITARY
PROTECTION OF BELISARIUS."
00:12:54.83\00:13:00.30
THAT'S HISTORY OF
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
00:13:00.30\00:13:01.90
NOW, IT TELLS YOU IN PROPHECY,
"I HAVE GIVEN YOU A DAY
00:13:01.90\00:13:06.23
FOR A YEAR."
00:13:06.23\00:13:07.66
THERE ARE SEVERAL EXAMPLES
OF THAT IN PROPHECY, NOT ONLY DO
00:13:07.66\00:13:11.43
YOU FIND THAT IN
NUMBERS, YOU FIND IT IN EZEKIEL.
00:13:11.43\00:13:13.73
I THINK I QUOTED TO YOU FROM
LUKE 13 WHERE JESUS USED THAT
00:13:13.73\00:13:17.40
PRINCIPLE WHERE HE SAID,
"GO TELL HEROD, THAT FOX, I DO
00:13:17.40\00:13:20.20
CURES AND CAST OUT
DEVILS AND PERFORM MIRACLES.
00:13:20.20\00:13:22.86
TODAY, TOMORROW AND THE
3RD DAY, I WILL BE COMPLETED."
00:13:22.86\00:13:25.53
ANOTHER EXAMPLE FOR A
DAY FOR A YEAR IN PROPHECY.
00:13:25.53\00:13:28.40
IT SAYS THAT THIS POWER WOULD
HOLD UNINTERPRETED SWAY FROM
00:13:28.40\00:13:33.40
538 TO 1798 AND WE'VE ALREADY
SEEN THAT THEY WERE CLEARLY
00:13:33.40\00:13:38.16
ESTABLISHED A GOOD
STARTING POINT THERE AT 538 A.D.
00:13:38.16\00:13:41.56
IF YOU GO NOT 1,260 DAYS,
A DAY IS A YEAR IN PROPHECY,
00:13:41.56\00:13:46.33
SO YOU GO 1,260 WHAT?
00:13:46.33\00:13:48.70
YEARS.
00:13:48.70\00:13:49.93
WHAT DOES THAT TAKE US TO?
00:13:49.93\00:13:51.33
SEVENTEEN NINETY-EIGHT.
00:13:51.33\00:13:53.80
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN
1798 AROUND THE WORLD?
00:13:53.80\00:13:56.30
ANYONE REMEMBER THIS CHARACTER?
00:13:56.30\00:13:58.60
THE LITTLE
GENERAL, LITTLE CORPORAL,
00:13:58.60\00:14:00.63
THEY CALLED HIM, NAPOLEON.
00:14:00.63\00:14:02.56
HIS ARMIES WERE SWEEPING ACROSS
EUROPE INTO NORTHERN AFRICA AND
00:14:02.56\00:14:07.46
FED UP WITH THE ABUSES OF THE
CHURCH AND BECAUSE A FRENCHMAN
00:14:07.46\00:14:11.16
HAD BEEN MURDERED IN ROME, THEY
USED THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO TAKE
00:14:11.16\00:14:14.76
THE POPE CAPTIVE.
00:14:14.76\00:14:16.56
MATTER OF FACT, I'VE GOT
THAT, IT'S RIGHT HERE OUT OF THE
00:14:16.56\00:14:18.40
HISTORY BOOKS, 1798, BERTHIER,
HE WAS THE FRENCH GENERAL.
00:14:18.40\00:14:22.70
"HE MADE HIS ENTRANCE
INTO ROME, ABOLISHED THE PAPAL
00:14:22.70\00:14:25.90
GOVERNMENT AND
ESTABLISHED A SECULAR ONE."
00:14:25.90\00:14:29.46
FROM THAT TIME IN 538
UNTIL 1798, THEY HELD VIRTUALLY
00:14:29.46\00:14:32.93
UNINTERRUPTED CONTROL
OVER THESE KINGDOMS OF EUROPE.
00:14:32.93\00:14:37.10
THE KINGS COULD REALLY NOT DO
VERY MUCH WITHOUT THE APPROVAL
00:14:37.10\00:14:39.70
OF THE CHURCH AND THEY
HAD ADVISORS IN EVERY COURT.
00:14:39.70\00:14:43.66
LETTER H, "IT WOULD SPEAK
GREAT WORDS OF BLASPHEMY AGAINST
00:14:43.66\00:14:47.66
THE MOST HIGH GOD."
00:14:47.66\00:14:49.50
NOW WHAT IS BLASPHEMY?
00:14:49.50\00:14:51.96
WE'RE NOT GONNA USE IT
LIKE IF YOU'RE USING IRREVERENT
00:14:51.96\00:14:54.86
LANGUAGE IN A BAR.
00:14:54.86\00:14:56.16
WHAT'S THE BIBLE
DEFINITION OF BLASPHEMY?
00:14:56.16\00:14:58.30
THERE ARE TWO SCRIPTURAL
DEFINITIONS FOR BLASPHEMY?
00:14:58.30\00:15:00.66
FIRST ONE IS
CLAIMING TO FORGIVE SIN.
00:15:00.66\00:15:04.10
AND THE SECOND ONE IS CLAIMING
THE PREROGATIVES OF GOD,
00:15:04.10\00:15:07.40
CLAIMING TO BE GOD.
00:15:07.40\00:15:08.46
AND IT TELLS US THAT THIS
BEAST POWER, REVELATION 13:6,
00:15:08.46\00:15:12.20
"HE OPENS HIS MOUTH IN BLASPHEMY
AGAINST GOD TO BLASPHEME
00:15:12.20\00:15:16.30
HIS NAME."
00:15:16.30\00:15:17.56
AND AGAIN, IN 2
THESSALONIANS 2:4,
00:15:17.56\00:15:20.53
"WHO OPPOSES AND EXALTS HIMSELF
ABOVE ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD OR
00:15:20.53\00:15:24.26
THAT IS WORSHIPED, SO THAT
HE SITS IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD,
00:15:24.26\00:15:27.56
SHOWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD."
00:15:27.56\00:15:29.46
LET ME SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS RIGHT HERE.
00:15:29.46\00:15:32.63
SOME PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE OF
THAT VERSE I JUST READ THAT THE
00:15:32.63\00:15:34.90
BEAST POWER'S GONNA
SIT IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
00:15:34.90\00:15:36.70
THEY SAY, "WELL, THE
TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED IN 70 A.D.
00:15:36.70\00:15:39.40
IN ORDER FOR THE BEAST TO SIT
IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, THEY MUST
00:15:39.40\00:15:41.90
BE REBUILDING THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
00:15:41.90\00:15:44.53
THAT IS A TERRIBLE
MISUNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE.
00:15:44.53\00:15:47.23
THE BIBLE TELLS US
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
00:15:47.23\00:15:48.83
"WHAT DON'T YOU KNOW THAT
YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD."
00:15:48.83\00:15:51.93
"CHRIST HAD DESTROYED
THIS TEMPLE MADE WITH HANDS IN
00:15:51.93\00:15:53.60
3 DAYS I'LL RAISE IT UP."
00:15:53.60\00:15:54.63
WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?
00:15:54.63\00:15:55.63
HIS BODY.
00:15:55.63\00:15:56.73
THE CHURCH IS
THE BODY OF CHRIST.
00:15:56.73\00:15:59.00
AND SO WHEN IT SAYS THIS BEAST
POWER SITS IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD
00:15:59.00\00:16:02.40
SHOWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD,
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE DEVIL
00:16:02.40\00:16:05.93
INFILTRATES THE CHURCH AND PUTS
HIMSELF IN THE POSITION OF GOD
00:16:05.93\00:16:08.83
AND CLAIMS THE
PREROGATIVES OF GOD.
00:16:08.83\00:16:11.03
IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT A
BUILDING SOMEWHERE AND YET, HOW
00:16:11.03\00:16:13.20
MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD
ON TV EVANGELISTS SAY, "YUP,
00:16:13.20\00:16:16.46
THEY'RE GONNA REBUILD THE
TEMPLE OVER THERE, THEY'RE GONNA
00:16:16.46\00:16:18.26
BULLDOZE THE DOME OF THE ROCK"?
00:16:18.26\00:16:19.63
YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF
WAR THAT WOULD CREATE?
00:16:19.63\00:16:22.23
RIGHT NOW, THE POPE JUST MAKES
A BAD SENTENCE AND LOOK AT THE
00:16:22.23\00:16:24.00
FUROR THAT'S 'CAUSED BY IT.
00:16:24.00\00:16:25.66
WHAT DO YOU THINK'S GONNA
HAPPEN IF THEY GO IN THERE WITH
00:16:25.66\00:16:27.16
BULLDOZERS AND
DEMOLISH THE MOSQUE OF OMAR?
00:16:27.16\00:16:30.30
THAT'S NOT THE
TEMPLE IT'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:16:30.30\00:16:32.46
THAT'S WHY THE WHOLE WORLD
IS CONFUSED ABOUT THESE ISSUES.
00:16:32.46\00:16:34.36
IT'S A BIG DIVERSIONARY TACTIC.
00:16:34.36\00:16:36.30
THE DEVIL HAS GOT
EVERYBODY LOOKING DOWN THIS WAY,
00:16:36.30\00:16:38.50
HE'S COMING UP FROM BEHIND.
00:16:38.50\00:16:39.83
HAPPENING RIGHT
UNDER THEIR NOSES.
00:16:39.83\00:16:42.30
IT'S HAPPENING NOW AND
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR THIS
00:16:42.30\00:16:44.56
BEAST THAT IS NOT
WHERE THEY THINK HE IS.
00:16:44.56\00:16:49.06
BIBLE GIVES US A
DEFINITION FOR BLASPHEMY.
00:16:49.06\00:16:51.86
JOHN 10:33, THE JEWS ANSWERED
JESUS AND SAID, "FOR A GOOD
00:16:51.86\00:16:56.36
WORK WE'RE NOT
STONING YOU BUT FOR BLASPHEMY,
00:16:56.36\00:17:00.10
BECAUSE YOU, BEING A
MAN, MAKE YOURSELF GOD."
00:17:00.10\00:17:03.76
WHEN A MAN PUTS
HIMSELF IN THE PLACE OF GOD,
00:17:03.76\00:17:05.73
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE CALL THAT?
00:17:05.73\00:17:07.26
BLASPHEMY.
00:17:07.26\00:17:08.86
NOW SOME QUOTES FROM CATHOLIC
CHURCHES OWN STATEMENTS.
00:17:08.86\00:17:14.03
"WE [THE POPES] HOLD UPON
THIS EARTH THE PLACE OF GOD
00:17:14.03\00:17:19.33
ALMIGHTY."
00:17:19.33\00:17:21.73
THAT'S A COMPLETE QUOTE
THERE, POPE LEO THE XIII.
00:17:21.73\00:17:25.03
AGAIN, "THE SUPREME TEACHER
IN THE CHURCH IS THE ROMAN
00:17:25.03\00:17:29.56
PONTIFF.
00:17:29.56\00:17:30.76
UNION OF MINDS, THEREFORE,
REQUIRES, TOGETHER WITH PERFECT
00:17:30.76\00:17:34.63
ACCORD IN THE ONE
FAITH, COMPLETE SUBMISSION AND
00:17:34.63\00:17:38.50
OBEDIENCE TO THE WILL OF THE
CHURCH INTO THE ROMAN PONTIFF,
00:17:38.50\00:17:42.20
AS TO GOD HIMSELF."
00:17:42.20\00:17:45.16
I THINK THAT'S STRETCHING IT,
FRIENDS, WHEN A MAN SAYS, YOU
00:17:45.16\00:17:47.60
NEED TO OBEY THIS, TECHNICALLY
HE'S A PASTOR OF THE CHURCH,
00:17:47.60\00:17:51.06
AS GOD HIMSELF.
00:17:51.06\00:17:53.53
WHAT'S THE OTHER
DEFINITION FOR BLASPHEMY?
00:17:53.53\00:17:56.40
WE JUST READ IT A SECOND AGO.
00:17:56.40\00:17:57.73
IT'S CLAIMING TO HAVE
THE ABILITY TO FORGIVE SINS.
00:17:57.73\00:18:00.83
"AND THE SCRIBES AND THE
PHARISEES BEGAN TO REASON,
00:18:00.83\00:18:02.93
SAYING, 'WHO IS THIS
THAT SPEAKS BLASPHEMY?'"
00:18:02.93\00:18:06.53
SPEAKING OF JESUS.
00:18:06.53\00:18:07.30
"'WHO CAN FORGIVE
SINS BUT GOD ALONE?'"
00:18:07.30\00:18:09.70
AND THEY WERE RIGHT, GOD
AND GOD ONLY CAN FORGIVE SINS.
00:18:09.70\00:18:13.53
DOES THE CHURCH
CLAIM TO HAVE THAT POWER?
00:18:13.53\00:18:16.56
POPE LEO XIII AGAIN, "THIS IS
OUR LAST LESSON TO YOU: RECEIVE
00:18:16.56\00:18:21.40
IT, ENGRAVE IT IN YOUR
MINDS, ALL OF YOU: BY GOD'S
00:18:21.40\00:18:24.90
COMMANDMENT SALVATION IS TO BE
FOUND NOWHERE BUT IN THE CHURCH
00:18:24.90\00:18:29.53
THE STRONG AND EFFECTIVE
INSTRUMENT OF SALVATION IS
00:18:29.53\00:18:32.30
NONE OTHER THAN
THE ROMAN PONTIFICATE."
00:18:32.30\00:18:35.26
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE SAVED.
00:18:35.26\00:18:36.46
YOU KNOW, IF YOU WOULD DELETE
THOSE WORDS AND PUT IN, "JESUS"
00:18:36.46\00:18:39.10
IT WOULD BE OKAY.
00:18:39.10\00:18:40.86
THAT'D BE A GREAT STATEMENT.
00:18:40.86\00:18:42.33
BUT WHEN YOU PUT IN AN EARTHLY
POWER, AN INDIVIDUAL, THAT'S
00:18:42.33\00:18:44.80
TAKING THE PREROGATIVES
OF GOD--AGAIN, DIGNITIES AND
00:18:44.80\00:18:48.50
DUTIES OF THE PRIEST.
00:18:48.50\00:18:49.56
"GOD HIMSELF IS OBLIGED TO
ABIDE BY THE JUDGMENT OF HIS
00:18:49.56\00:18:53.36
PRIESTS, AND EITHER NOT TO
PARDON OR PARDON, ACCORDING
00:18:53.36\00:18:58.00
AS THEY REFUSE
OR GIVE ABSOLUTION.
00:18:58.00\00:19:00.63
THE SENTENCE OF THE PRIEST
PRECEDES, AND GOD SUBSCRIBES
00:19:00.63\00:19:04.83
TO IT."
00:19:04.83\00:19:05.56
THE PRIESTS ARE DECIDING
WHO IS FORGIVEN AND WHO IS
00:19:05.56\00:19:08.06
NOT FORGIVEN.
00:19:08.06\00:19:09.63
THAT MEANS IF YOU GET
SOMEONE WHO'S GOT THE OFFICE OF
00:19:09.63\00:19:11.60
A PRIEST AND HE'S CRANKY
OR INEBRIATED, YOU'RE DOOMED.
00:19:11.60\00:19:15.50
THAT'D BE TERRIBLE TO GIVE
THAT KIND OF POWER TO A MAN.
00:19:15.50\00:19:18.86
ANSWER I, "IT WOULD THINK
TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS."
00:19:18.86\00:19:26.03
A FEW QUOTES, "THE POPE
HAS POWER--" THESE ARE FROM
00:19:26.03\00:19:30.83
THEIR OWN WRITINGS.
00:19:30.83\00:19:31.66
"TO CHANGE TIMES TO ABROGATE
LAWS, AND TO DISPENSE WITH ALL
00:19:31.66\00:19:35.76
THINGS, EVEN THE
PRECEPTS OF CHRIST."
00:19:35.76\00:19:39.23
NOW THEY BELIEVE AND, YOU
KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE
00:19:39.23\00:19:41.96
ABOUT AMERICA IS YOU'RE FREE
TO BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WANT
00:19:41.96\00:19:44.56
TO BELIEVE.
00:19:44.56\00:19:46.10
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
00:19:46.10\00:19:46.60
I'VE BEEN IN COUNTRIES WHERE
THEY DON'T HAVE THAT FREEDOM.
00:19:46.60\00:19:48.73
IT IS SO NICE THAT IF YOU WANT
TO SMEAR YOURSELF WITH MOLASSES
00:19:48.73\00:19:52.06
AND SIT ON A HILL OF ANTS
IN AMERICA, YOU CAN DO IT.
00:19:52.06\00:19:54.93
YOU KNOW, IT'S A
GREAT PLACE TO LIVE.
00:19:54.93\00:19:57.80
LITTLE HISTORY, WHAT HAPPENED
IS GRADUALLY AS THE ROMAN POWER
00:19:57.80\00:20:06.50
BEGAN TO DECLINE, THE
CHURCH IN ROME BEGAN TO GROW.
00:20:06.50\00:20:11.30
THEY WANTED TO MAKE
CHRISTIANITY MORE AND MORE
00:20:11.30\00:20:13.63
ATTRACTIVE TO
THE PAGANS IN ROME.
00:20:13.63\00:20:16.60
AND SO THEY THOUGHT YOU KNOW
IN ORDER TO REACH THEM, LET'S
00:20:16.60\00:20:18.73
CREATE BRIDGES.
00:20:18.73\00:20:20.46
RATHER THAN JUST DESTROY
THEIR IDOLS, LET'S RENAME THEM
00:20:20.46\00:20:24.40
AND GIVE THEM CHRISTIAN NAMES.
00:20:24.40\00:20:25.66
I MEAN IT'S CERTAINLY GOOD TO
DO THAT, WE'LL JUST DO IT AS A
00:20:25.66\00:20:28.76
TRANSITION AND LITTLE BY
LITTLE THEY BEGAN TO WORSHIP
00:20:28.76\00:20:32.80
THESE IDOLS.
00:20:32.80\00:20:33.63
INSTEAD OF IT BEING AN IDOL
OF JUPITER AND MERCURY AND ZEUS
00:20:33.63\00:20:36.86
AND DIANA, IT WAS PETER, JAMES,
JOHN AND MARY AND A LOT OF
00:20:36.86\00:20:42.06
OTHER TEACHINGS CAME
IN DIRECTLY FROM PAGANISM.
00:20:42.06\00:20:45.26
WHY DO YOU THINK WE
CELEBRATE JESUS' BIRTH?
00:20:45.26\00:20:47.70
AND I'M NOT EBENEZER SCROOGE.
00:20:47.70\00:20:49.76
I'M NOT AGAINST CHRISTMAS,
BUT WHERE IN THE BIBLE DID WE
00:20:49.76\00:20:51.80
GET THE IDEA IT WAS
THE MIDDLE OF WINTER?
00:20:51.80\00:20:53.53
WHERE DO YOU FIND
DECEMBER 25TH FOR HIS BIRTHDAY?
00:20:53.53\00:20:55.40
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
00:20:55.40\00:20:56.86
THAT WAS A ROMAN HOLIDAY
CELEBRATING THE REBIRTH OF THE
00:20:56.86\00:20:59.40
SUN DURING THE WINTER SOLSTICE
AND THAT'S WHERE IT COMES FROM.
00:20:59.40\00:21:03.16
I MEAN IT'S IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA.
00:21:03.16\00:21:04.60
IT'S VERY CLEAR FROM HISTORY,
BUT A LOT OF THINGS FROM
00:21:04.60\00:21:06.40
PAGANISM WERE BAPTIZED.
00:21:06.40\00:21:08.70
I'M GONNA READ SOME THINGS
TO YOU THAT--MATTER OF FACT, I
00:21:08.70\00:21:13.50
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THERE YET,
BUT I OUGHT TO POST THIS AT OUR
00:21:13.50\00:21:17.26
AMAZING FACTS WEBSITE.
00:21:17.26\00:21:19.06
AT THE MOST AMAZING PROPHECIES
WEBSITE, I'M HOPING OUR WEB
00:21:19.06\00:21:22.76
DESIGNERS LISTENING, I'M
GONNA TRY AND E-MAIL THESE NOTES
00:21:22.76\00:21:25.36
BECAUSE PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK
ME FOR THIS AND I DON'T KNOW IF
00:21:25.36\00:21:27.23
IT'S THERE YET.
00:21:27.23\00:21:28.23
I WANT TO GET TO
HEAVEN, HOW ABOUT YOU?
00:21:28.23\00:21:32.23
I NEED TO FOLLOW JESUS,
CHRIST IS THE WORD INCARNATE.
00:21:32.23\00:21:36.53
IF YOU FOLLOW THE
WORD, YOU'RE SAFE.
00:21:36.53\00:21:38.70
YOU CANNOT FOLLOW
THE TRADITIONS OF MEN.
00:21:38.70\00:21:41.23
JESUS SAID, "YOU HAVE A
FINE WAY OF SETTING ASIDE THE
00:21:41.23\00:21:44.10
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD IN ORDER
TO OBSERVE YOUR TRADITIONS."
00:21:44.10\00:21:47.50
TRADITIONS DON'T SAVE ANYBODY.
00:21:47.50\00:21:50.26
LISTEN TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
AND I'LL CONTRAST IT WITH THE
00:21:50.26\00:21:54.00
TEACHINGS OF THE PAPACY.
00:21:54.00\00:21:56.36
THE BIBLE TEACHES WE ARE
NOT TO BOW DOWN TO STATUES.
00:21:56.36\00:21:59.86
HOW MANY KNOW THAT'S
ONE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:21:59.86\00:22:01.16
IT'S NOT ONLY IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:22:01.16\00:22:02.63
SOME SAY, "WELL, IT'S
AN OLD TESTAMENT LAW."
00:22:02.63\00:22:04.26
IT'S IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:22:04.26\00:22:06.93
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
SAYS THAT WE SHOULD BOW DOWN TO
00:22:06.93\00:22:09.26
STATUES, NOT ANCIENT
TRADITION BUT IT'S A MEDIAEVAL
00:22:09.26\00:22:12.73
TRADITION.
00:22:12.73\00:22:14.00
IT'S BEING PRACTICED TODAY.
00:22:14.00\00:22:16.13
NOW, IF YOU ASK THE TYPICAL
CATHOLIC, "YOU REALIZE THIS IS
00:22:16.13\00:22:19.70
NOT ACTUALLY MARY?"
00:22:19.70\00:22:20.96
THEY'LL SAY, "OF
COURSE WE KNOW IT'S NOT MARY."
00:22:20.96\00:22:23.00
BUT IF YOU ASK A BUDDHIST WHO'S
PRAYING TO A STATUE OF BUDDHA,
00:22:23.00\00:22:25.03
"DO YOU THINK
THAT'S REALLY BUDDHA?"
00:22:25.03\00:22:26.26
THEY'LL SAY, "OF COURSE NOT."
00:22:26.26\00:22:27.63
ANY IDOLATER KNOWS THE IDOL
IS NOT ACTUALLY THE GOD, SO WHEN
00:22:27.63\00:22:32.03
THAT'S OFTEN USED THEY SAY,
"OH, IT'S JUST TO HELP US THINK
00:22:32.03\00:22:34.36
ABOUT MARY OR PETER."
00:22:34.36\00:22:35.36
BUT THEY KISS 'EM, THEY GIVE
GIFTS TO 'EM, THEY RUB THEM,
00:22:35.36\00:22:37.86
THEY CARRY 'EM AROUND.
00:22:37.86\00:22:39.03
THAT'S IDOLATRY.
00:22:39.03\00:22:41.53
THE BIBLE, ONE OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:22:41.53\00:22:45.03
NEW TESTAMENT, "KEEP
YOURSELF FROM IDOLS," LAST WORDS
00:22:45.03\00:22:47.46
IN JOHN'S LETTER.
00:22:47.46\00:22:51.06
THE BIBLE TEACHES WE'VE
ALL SINNED EXCEPT JESUS.
00:22:51.06\00:22:54.23
ROMANS 3:10-12, HEBREWS 4:15.
00:22:54.23\00:22:56.60
BUT IN THE PAPACY THEY
TEACH THAT MARY WAS SINLESS.
00:22:56.60\00:23:01.26
THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT NOWHERE.
00:23:01.26\00:23:03.26
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JESUS IS
THE ONLY MEDIATOR BETWEEN MAN
00:23:03.26\00:23:06.26
AND GOD.
00:23:06.26\00:23:07.86
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
SAYS MARY IS THE CO-MEDIATOR.
00:23:07.86\00:23:12.36
THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT CHRIST
HAS OFFERED HIS SACRIFICE ON
00:23:12.36\00:23:14.86
THE CROSS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
00:23:14.86\00:23:17.33
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH TEACHES THAT THE PRIEST
00:23:17.33\00:23:19.26
CONTINUES TO OFFER CHRIST ON
THE ALTAR EVERY TIME HE OFFERS
00:23:19.26\00:23:22.40
MASS.
00:23:22.40\00:23:23.96
THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT
ALL CHRISTIANS ARE SAINTS
00:23:23.96\00:23:26.00
AND PRIESTS.
00:23:26.00\00:23:27.73
WE'RE ALL PART OF
A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD.
00:23:27.73\00:23:29.06
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS THAT
THE PRIESTS ARE AN EXCLUSIVE
00:23:29.06\00:23:31.03
GROUP WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY.
00:23:31.03\00:23:34.26
THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT ALL
CHRISTIANS SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY
00:23:34.26\00:23:35.96
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, 1 JOHN 5:13.
00:23:35.96\00:23:38.96
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS
CHRISTIANS SHOULD KNOW NOT KNOW
00:23:38.96\00:23:41.20
THAT THEY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
00:23:41.20\00:23:42.73
THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT WE
SHOULD CALL NO RELIGIOUS LEADER
00:23:42.73\00:23:46.16
OUR FATHER, JESUS
SAID THAT, MATTHEW 23:9.
00:23:46.16\00:23:49.53
CATHOLIC CHURCH
TEACHES, WE MAY CALL THE PRIESTS
00:23:49.53\00:23:51.50
AND POPE FATHER.
00:23:51.50\00:23:53.90
THE BIBLE TEACHES NOT TO PRAY
IN VAIN REPETITION, JESUS SAID
00:23:53.90\00:23:56.86
THAT IN MATTHEW 6:7.
00:23:56.86\00:23:58.96
AND I REMEMBER WHEN I WENT
TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL, HOW MANY OF
00:23:58.96\00:24:01.36
YOU KNOW THE HAIL MARY
AND THE OUR FATHER BY HEART
00:24:01.36\00:24:03.83
AND THE ROSARY BEADS
AND ALL THESE THINGS?
00:24:03.83\00:24:07.03
THE BIBLE TEACHES TO, "CONFESS
YOUR SINS TO GOD FOR GOD
00:24:07.03\00:24:10.56
AND GOD ONLY CAN FORGIVE
SIN," ISAIAH 43:25, LUKE 5:24.
00:24:10.56\00:24:15.36
CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS TO
CONFESS YOUR SINS TO THE PRIEST.
00:24:15.36\00:24:18.90
THE BIBLE TEACHES BEFORE
BAPTISM, A PERpN SHOULD BE
00:24:18.90\00:24:21.36
TAUGHT TO BELIEVE THE GOSPEL
AND THE COMMANDMENTS OF CHRIST,
00:24:21.36\00:24:23.86
TO BELIEVE AND TO REPENT.
00:24:23.86\00:24:25.30
THE ROMAN CHURCH SAYS IT'S OKAY
TO BAPTIZE INFANT BABIES BEFORE
00:24:25.30\00:24:28.76
THEY EVEN
UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS.
00:24:28.76\00:24:31.66
THE TEACHING OF PURGATORY
AND LIMBO, PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD
00:24:31.66\00:24:34.10
ARE NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE
BUT THE RELICS OF PAGANISM.
00:24:34.10\00:24:37.43
THE WORDS OF JESUS TO THE
PHARISEES APPLY TODAY WHEN
00:24:37.43\00:24:40.43
HE SAID, "YOU DO WELL, NULLIFY
THE WORD OF GOD WITH MANMADE
00:24:40.43\00:24:43.96
TRADITION," MATTHEW 15:16.
00:24:43.96\00:24:46.46
THERE'S A LOT MORE I COULD SAY
HERE, BUT TIME WILL NOT PERMIT.
00:24:46.46\00:24:50.80
MAYBE IN OUR QUESTION TIME,
I CAN COVER SOME MORE OF THIS.
00:24:50.80\00:24:54.40
FINAL PART, J SAID IT
WOULD BE A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT.
00:24:54.40\00:24:58.46
DO THEY MEET THAT
CRITERIA, FRIENDS?
00:24:58.46\00:25:01.23
WHAT IS THE
WORD "CATHOLIC" MEAN?
00:25:01.23\00:25:03.63
IT MEANS UNIVERSAL.
00:25:03.63\00:25:05.70
THE BIBLE SAYS, "ALL THE WORLD
WOULD WONDER AFTER THE BEAST."
00:25:05.70\00:25:08.93
GOD HAS TOLD US THESE THINGS TO
SHOW THAT HE SEES THE BEGINNING
00:25:08.93\00:25:12.43
FROM THE END AND HE HAS A
PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE AS WELL.
00:25:12.43\00:25:15.66

THE SUBJECT OF THE ANTICHRIST.
00:26:33.20\00:26:36.03
THE SCRIPTURES CLEARLY DESCRIBE
A SINISTER POWER WHOSE PURPOSE
00:26:36.03\00:26:39.70
IS TO DECEIVE AND
