I'm John Carter in Moscow.
00:00:02.16\00:00:04.60
In Havana, Cuba.
00:00:04.63\00:00:07.20
Now in Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine.
00:00:07.24\00:00:10.54
I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:00:10.57\00:00:13.58
Right here in Communist China.
00:00:13.61\00:00:16.51
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.54\00:00:18.41
Hi, I'm John Carter
in the Solomon Islands.
00:00:18.45\00:00:21.55
I'm John Carter in Soweto.
00:00:21.58\00:00:24.09
From El Salvador.
00:00:24.12\00:00:26.52
I'm John Carter
in Sydney, Australia.
00:00:26.55\00:00:29.62
John Carter gives us
all Reasons to Believe.
00:00:29.66\00:00:33.26
We wanna give you just a
tremendous welcome today.
00:00:37.00\00:00:40.60
We welcome you to the program,
00:00:40.64\00:00:42.50
which is entitled
Reasons to Believe.
00:00:42.54\00:00:44.94
Now, this is a continuation
00:00:44.97\00:00:46.61
of the first
part of the program,
00:00:46.64\00:00:48.91
which was talking
about the tremendous prophecy
00:00:48.94\00:00:51.21
of Daniel Chapter 7.
00:00:51.25\00:00:53.82
In this part of the program,
00:00:53.85\00:00:55.88
we're going to give you
the identification marks
00:00:55.92\00:00:59.29
of the great, antichrist.
00:00:59.32\00:01:02.42
We believe that faith has
got to rest upon evidence.
00:01:02.46\00:01:07.33
We do not
believe in a blind faith.
00:01:07.36\00:01:11.17
And I'm going to share
with you some of the material
00:01:11.20\00:01:13.60
that I shared with millions
of atheists and communists,
00:01:13.64\00:01:17.77
back in the days of
the old Soviet Union.
00:01:17.81\00:01:20.31
I want you to come in the
Bible to Daniel Chapter 7.
00:01:20.34\00:01:22.88
This is a pick up
00:01:22.91\00:01:24.25
from the first
part of the program.
00:01:24.28\00:01:26.01
This is part two
Reasons to Believe.
00:01:26.05\00:01:28.25
Daniel 7:7,
00:01:28.28\00:01:31.15
"After this I saw
in the night visions
00:01:31.19\00:01:32.99
and behold, a fourth beast,"
00:01:33.02\00:01:35.39
or a great nation,
00:01:35.42\00:01:37.09
"dreadful and
terrible, exceedingly strong.
00:01:37.13\00:01:40.40
It had huge iron teeth.
00:01:40.43\00:01:42.50
It was devouring,
breaking in pieces,
00:01:42.53\00:01:45.13
and trampling the
residue with its feet.
00:01:45.17\00:01:47.87
It was different
from all the beasts
00:01:47.90\00:01:49.74
that were before it," notice it,
00:01:49.77\00:01:51.37
"and it had ten horns."
00:01:51.41\00:01:53.98
We noticed in the first program,
00:01:54.01\00:01:56.64
that this great dragon beast
00:01:56.68\00:01:58.85
is the great
power of pagan Rome.
00:01:58.88\00:02:01.52
We established that
in the first section.
00:02:01.55\00:02:04.52
Now we're going to
talk about the ten horns.
00:02:04.55\00:02:07.46
If you look at
verse 24, it says,
00:02:07.49\00:02:10.86
"The ten horns are ten kings
00:02:10.89\00:02:14.30
who shall rise
from this kingdom,"
00:02:14.33\00:02:16.00
come out of Rome,
00:02:16.03\00:02:17.70
"and another
shall rise after them."
00:02:17.73\00:02:19.53
That's the antichrist.
00:02:19.57\00:02:21.50
"He shall be
different from the first ones,
00:02:21.54\00:02:23.84
and shall subdue three kings."
00:02:23.87\00:02:28.34
The Bible teaches
and this was written
00:02:28.38\00:02:30.31
hundreds of years
before it happened.
00:02:30.35\00:02:32.78
This prophecy was
written about 2500 years ago.
00:02:32.81\00:02:36.22
And the Bible says
they'd be Babylon, Medo-Persia,
00:02:36.25\00:02:38.89
Greece, and Rome.
00:02:38.92\00:02:40.52
And then it says that
the great Roman Empire
00:02:40.56\00:02:44.13
would be divided as
the ten horns represent.
00:02:44.16\00:02:47.83
And this represents the
breakup of the Roman Empire
00:02:47.86\00:02:51.83
into the kingdoms,
00:02:51.87\00:02:53.57
and the states of Europe.
00:02:53.60\00:02:54.94
And now, people
say, "Are you sure?"
00:02:54.97\00:02:57.24
"Of course, I'm sure."
00:02:57.27\00:02:58.91
This is not theology.
00:02:58.94\00:03:01.64
This is got nothing
to do with speculation.
00:03:01.68\00:03:04.31
This is simply
talking about history.
00:03:04.35\00:03:07.82
The Bible tells me that
between about 300 and 500 AD,
00:03:07.85\00:03:12.32
the old Roman Empire
because of internal rot,
00:03:12.35\00:03:15.96
was broken up into the kingdoms
00:03:15.99\00:03:18.46
and the states of Europe.
00:03:18.49\00:03:20.20
That, my friend, is not faith,
00:03:20.23\00:03:23.16
that, my friend, is what?
00:03:23.20\00:03:25.63
It's fact, its absolute fact.
00:03:25.67\00:03:27.87
The year was
1991, I was in Moscow,
00:03:27.90\00:03:30.74
and Gorbachev was
still in the Kremlin.
00:03:30.77\00:03:32.87
We were running meetings
in the Palace of Culture,
00:03:32.91\00:03:35.48
professors from Moscow
University just turned up
00:03:35.51\00:03:38.78
by the hundreds
and by the thousands.
00:03:38.81\00:03:42.12
And this went on
live Moscow television,
00:03:42.15\00:03:46.72
broadcast all over
the old Soviet Union.
00:03:46.76\00:03:49.79
And they asked me this question,
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.63
"Why have we been
told so many lies?"
00:03:51.66\00:03:56.23
They said, "We
were told there was,"
00:03:56.26\00:03:58.17
these are some of the
people who came to the lectures,
00:03:58.20\00:04:00.60
"We were taught
that there was no God.
00:04:00.64\00:04:04.11
We were taught
that God was dead."
00:04:04.14\00:04:07.48
And one professor said to me,
00:04:07.51\00:04:08.84
"Look what we did.
00:04:08.88\00:04:10.21
We murdered 70 million people.
00:04:10.25\00:04:13.52
Didn't just shoot, we
tortured them to death."
00:04:13.55\00:04:17.49
Because there's Dostoyevsky,
the great Russian writer said,
00:04:17.52\00:04:21.12
"If there is no God,
00:04:21.16\00:04:25.03
everything is possible."
00:04:25.06\00:04:28.10
And so they murdered,
00:04:28.13\00:04:29.46
they pillaged, and they raped.
00:04:29.50\00:04:32.57
"Let the atheist not forget it.
00:04:32.60\00:04:35.60
If there is no God,
all things are possible."
00:04:35.64\00:04:39.44
Now back to Daniel 7.
00:04:39.47\00:04:41.61
Now we're going to see
the identification marks
00:04:41.64\00:04:43.35
of antichrist, a
pseudo Christian power,
00:04:43.38\00:04:46.82
verse 8, "I was
considering the horns,"
00:04:46.85\00:04:50.09
that's the kings of Europe, "
00:04:50.12\00:04:51.62
and there was another horn,
00:04:51.65\00:04:52.99
a little one,
coming up among them,
00:04:53.02\00:04:54.72
before whom three
of the first horns
00:04:54.76\00:04:56.96
were plucked up by the roots.
00:04:56.99\00:04:58.56
And there in this horn,
00:04:58.59\00:04:59.93
were eyes like
the eyes of a man,
00:04:59.96\00:05:02.06
and a mouth
speaking pompous things."
00:05:02.10\00:05:06.47
This is the antichrist.
00:05:06.50\00:05:08.10
So the Bible tells me
00:05:08.14\00:05:09.80
that the antichrist does
not arise in the Americas,
00:05:09.84\00:05:13.01
he doesn't rise in China.
00:05:13.04\00:05:15.01
The Bible tells me
that the antichrist
00:05:15.04\00:05:18.21
arises on the ruins
of the Roman Empire.
00:05:18.25\00:05:23.49
This is not
speculation, this is history.
00:05:23.52\00:05:28.52
And how did Daniel know?
00:05:28.56\00:05:31.56
Look at verse 23,
24, of the same chapter.
00:05:31.59\00:05:38.07
"Thus he said, 'The
fourth beast shall be
00:05:38.10\00:05:39.80
a fourth kingdom on
earth," that's Rome,
00:05:39.83\00:05:42.80
"which shall be different
from all the other kingdoms,
00:05:42.84\00:05:45.44
and shall
devour the whole earth,
00:05:45.47\00:05:47.18
trample it down
and break it in pieces.
00:05:47.21\00:05:49.24
The ten horns are ten kings,
00:05:49.28\00:05:52.61
who shall arise
from this kingdom,"
00:05:52.65\00:05:54.35
that's the breakup
of the Roman Empire,
00:05:54.38\00:05:56.32
into the kingdoms
and the states of Europe,
00:05:56.35\00:05:59.05
"and another," the antichrist,
00:05:59.09\00:06:00.49
"shall rise after them,"
00:06:00.52\00:06:02.12
he comes up after
the kings of Europe,
00:06:02.16\00:06:04.13
"He shall be
different from the first ones,
00:06:04.16\00:06:06.96
and shall subdue three kings.'"
00:06:07.00\00:06:10.80
So he comes up
00:06:10.83\00:06:12.57
after the kingdoms of Europe,
00:06:12.60\00:06:14.74
history tells me that
the kingdoms of Europe
00:06:14.77\00:06:17.97
were pretty much
settled by around 500 AD.
00:06:18.01\00:06:22.78
And so we are
looking for a power
00:06:22.81\00:06:25.28
that comes up in Europe
00:06:25.31\00:06:27.02
that dominates the world.
00:06:27.05\00:06:29.82
And it comes up around 500 AD.
00:06:29.85\00:06:34.09
And the Bible tells
me you remember the text,
00:06:34.12\00:06:37.23
the Bible says, "He
shall be different."
00:06:37.26\00:06:42.33
And the reason
this king is different,
00:06:42.36\00:06:45.37
I'm telling you
from the prophecy
00:06:45.40\00:06:47.50
is because he's religious.
00:06:47.54\00:06:52.61
Look in your Bible,
00:06:52.64\00:06:54.01
2 Thessalonians 2:4,
00:06:54.04\00:06:57.85
talking of the
antichrist, it says,
00:06:57.88\00:07:00.32
"Who opposes and exalts himself
00:07:00.35\00:07:02.62
above all that is called
God or that is worshiped.
00:07:02.65\00:07:05.72
So that he sits as
God in the temple of God,
00:07:05.75\00:07:09.62
showing himself that he is God."
00:07:09.66\00:07:12.39
The antichrist, the Bible says,
00:07:12.43\00:07:16.53
sits in a very temple of God.
00:07:16.56\00:07:19.97
He is a pseudo Christian power.
00:07:20.00\00:07:24.37
And you
remember, the Bible says,
00:07:24.41\00:07:27.04
"He subdued three kings."
00:07:27.08\00:07:30.28
When this great religious power
00:07:30.31\00:07:33.82
came on the world scene,
00:07:33.85\00:07:36.52
there were three powers
00:07:36.55\00:07:38.52
that withstood his might,
00:07:38.55\00:07:40.82
the Heruli, the
Vandals, and the Ostrogoths,
00:07:40.86\00:07:44.69
and they were destroyed
by this religious king,
00:07:44.73\00:07:49.66
who lived on the
ruins of the Roman Empire.
00:07:49.70\00:07:52.93
Look at Daniel 7:25.
00:07:52.97\00:07:56.67
It says, he's a pompous power,
00:07:56.71\00:07:59.07
"He shall speak pompous words
00:07:59.11\00:08:02.84
against the Most High."
00:08:02.88\00:08:04.61
Number one, he
speaks pompous words.
00:08:04.65\00:08:07.32
He's got a big mouth.
00:08:07.35\00:08:09.18
"Shall persecute the
saints of the Most High."
00:08:09.22\00:08:12.62
Let that sink
down into the molecules
00:08:12.65\00:08:14.69
of your minds.
00:08:14.72\00:08:16.06
"He shall persecute the
saints of the Most High,
00:08:16.09\00:08:20.43
and shall intend to
change times and law."
00:08:20.46\00:08:23.23
You mess with the law of God.
00:08:23.26\00:08:25.67
"Then the saints shall
be given into his hand,"
00:08:25.70\00:08:28.04
he's going to persecute people,
00:08:28.07\00:08:29.97
"for a time and times,
00:08:30.01\00:08:32.11
and half a time."
00:08:32.14\00:08:34.41
It says, this religious power
00:08:34.44\00:08:38.25
that would rise on the
ruins of the Roman Empire
00:08:38.28\00:08:42.68
would be a
persecuting religious power.
00:08:42.72\00:08:47.22
Listen to me.
00:08:50.63\00:08:52.29
What happened was this.
00:08:52.33\00:08:53.90
Church and state join together.
00:08:53.93\00:08:57.27
I know there are
people right here
00:08:57.30\00:08:59.23
in the United States of America,
00:08:59.27\00:09:01.27
who would love us
to have a theocracy,
00:09:01.30\00:09:04.97
and make Jesus the king.
00:09:05.01\00:09:07.54
And we would have a
great religious nation,
00:09:07.58\00:09:11.88
and then you know
what would happen,
00:09:11.91\00:09:14.45
we would start to persecute.
00:09:14.48\00:09:18.55
That's why America is against
the union of church and state
00:09:18.59\00:09:23.63
in case you didn't know.
00:09:23.66\00:09:26.16
That's what made America great.
00:09:26.19\00:09:28.03
But this power persecutes
00:09:28.06\00:09:30.53
and burns the saints.
00:09:30.57\00:09:34.67
You say, "I've never
heard anything like this."
00:09:34.70\00:09:36.67
Well, I'm sorry.
00:09:36.71\00:09:39.57
But go and look
up on the internet,
00:09:39.61\00:09:41.71
go and see
about the Inquisition.
00:09:41.74\00:09:45.61
Tens of thousands,
mainly Roman Catholics,
00:09:45.65\00:09:50.39
burned to death
and burned slowly
00:09:50.42\00:09:54.02
for the glory of God, and Jews,
00:09:54.06\00:09:57.56
and Protestants, and anybody
00:09:57.59\00:09:59.83
who thought outside the box.
00:09:59.86\00:10:04.97
The genius of antichrist
00:10:05.00\00:10:09.44
is the desire to
make people conform.
00:10:09.47\00:10:14.54
If you're a conformist,
00:10:14.58\00:10:15.94
you're getting ready
00:10:15.98\00:10:17.31
for the mark of
the beast, my friend.
00:10:17.35\00:10:21.25
The Bible tells
us they were people
00:10:21.28\00:10:23.49
who refused to conform,
00:10:23.52\00:10:25.89
and they were
burned at the stake.
00:10:25.92\00:10:29.22
In fact, we now know that
00:10:29.26\00:10:31.09
this pseudo Christian
power that arose on the ruins
00:10:31.13\00:10:36.50
of the Roman Empire in Rome
00:10:36.53\00:10:40.90
put to death
00:10:40.94\00:10:42.27
millions and millions
00:10:42.30\00:10:44.71
and millions of people.
00:10:44.74\00:10:49.24
Check it out.
00:10:49.28\00:10:52.05
Look at verse 25, again,
00:10:52.08\00:10:54.15
"He shall speak pompous words,
00:10:54.18\00:10:56.28
he shall speak pompous
word against the Most High."
00:10:56.32\00:10:59.02
You're gonna say,
"We hold upon this earth,
00:10:59.05\00:11:01.32
the place of God Almighty.
00:11:01.36\00:11:03.53
We can let you into heaven,
00:11:03.56\00:11:04.89
and we can keep
you out of heaven."
00:11:04.93\00:11:07.20
I want you to know,
00:11:07.23\00:11:08.56
the only person
that I need to please
00:11:08.60\00:11:10.90
is the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:11:10.93\00:11:13.34
Jesus died for me,
00:11:13.37\00:11:14.70
and He has the
keys to the kingdom.
00:11:14.74\00:11:17.77
You see?
00:11:17.81\00:11:19.27
"He shall speak pompous
words against the Most High,
00:11:19.31\00:11:21.74
shall persecute the
saints of the Most High."
00:11:21.78\00:11:26.51
A religious power,
persecuting people.
00:11:26.55\00:11:30.02
"And shall intend to
change times and law."
00:11:30.05\00:11:32.75
He did this.
00:11:32.79\00:11:34.12
He changed the
commandments of God.
00:11:34.16\00:11:36.93
"Then the saints
shall be given into his hand
00:11:36.96\00:11:39.33
for time and
times, and half a time."
00:11:39.36\00:11:42.66
And time times, and half a time
00:11:42.70\00:11:44.87
is the old way of
saying it in the Bible,
00:11:44.90\00:11:47.34
for three and a half years.
00:11:47.37\00:11:50.37
One year, times, two years,
00:11:50.41\00:11:53.88
and I can prove this.
00:11:53.91\00:11:55.24
Come over here
to Revelation 12:6.
00:11:55.28\00:11:58.18
Revelation 12:6.
I'm saying to you.
00:11:58.21\00:12:04.89
We want you to have the facts,
we want you to have the truth,
00:12:04.92\00:12:09.09
we don't want you
to have a fake faith.
00:12:09.12\00:12:12.16
We want your faith to
be based upon evidence.
00:12:12.19\00:12:15.53
Revelation 12:6,
00:12:15.56\00:12:17.70
"Then the woman,"
in Bible prophecy,
00:12:17.73\00:12:19.50
the woman always
symbolizes the church,
00:12:19.53\00:12:22.04
a bad woman is the bad church,
00:12:22.07\00:12:23.97
and a good woman
is the good church.
00:12:24.01\00:12:26.31
"Then the woman fed
into the wilderness,"
00:12:26.34\00:12:28.14
a place of obscurity,
00:12:28.18\00:12:29.68
"where she has a
place prepared by God,
00:12:29.71\00:12:32.35
that they
should feed her there,"
00:12:32.38\00:12:34.08
look at it,
00:12:34.12\00:12:35.45
"one thousand two
hundred and sixty days."
00:12:35.48\00:12:39.89
And if you study the prophecies,
00:12:39.92\00:12:42.79
the prophecies are
given in symbolic language.
00:12:42.82\00:12:46.29
A beast is symbolic of a nation.
00:12:46.33\00:12:50.90
And these days
are symbolic of years.
00:12:50.93\00:12:56.20
After Constantine the Great,
00:12:56.24\00:12:59.64
church and state became united.
00:12:59.67\00:13:02.44
They had a man there
who was very charismatic.
00:13:02.48\00:13:06.11
And they said, "He is our Cyrus,
00:13:06.15\00:13:09.65
he is a mighty leader."
00:13:09.68\00:13:11.85
"Hallelujah," they said.
00:13:11.89\00:13:15.22
He's going to lead us
into the Promised Land.
00:13:15.26\00:13:17.96
He became a
Christian of assault.
00:13:17.99\00:13:23.67
And then what he did?
00:13:23.70\00:13:25.17
He took the power of the state,
00:13:25.20\00:13:27.60
and he joined it to
the power of the church.
00:13:27.64\00:13:34.08
And remember this, look at me,
00:13:34.11\00:13:36.98
church and state join together
00:13:37.01\00:13:39.98
is the essence of antichrist.
00:13:40.02\00:13:44.55
And I got people here in America
00:13:44.59\00:13:46.45
and other places saying,
00:13:46.49\00:13:47.82
we just want to get the
church and the state together,
00:13:47.86\00:13:51.39
you may, and you
will set up antichrist,
00:13:51.43\00:13:53.90
that's what you'll do.
00:13:53.93\00:13:55.26
And you'll get
the mark of the beast.
00:13:55.30\00:13:56.73
That's what you get.
00:13:56.77\00:13:59.83
So Constantine
brought it all in.
00:13:59.87\00:14:02.50
And by about 500 AD,
00:14:02.54\00:14:04.34
the church had
become a colossal power
00:14:04.37\00:14:07.31
that was persecuting
people, burning people,
00:14:07.34\00:14:11.05
changing the law of God,
00:14:11.08\00:14:13.08
and this is what
they call the Dark Ages,
00:14:13.11\00:14:17.55
a time of ignorance.
00:14:17.59\00:14:20.92
And we are going
into another Dark Age.
00:14:20.96\00:14:25.03
I'm telling you where people
are so ignorant of the truth.
00:14:25.06\00:14:30.00
They're getting
brainwashed by television,
00:14:30.03\00:14:33.20
they're getting
brainwashed by the media,
00:14:33.23\00:14:35.47
they're getting
brainwashed by the politicians.
00:14:35.50\00:14:41.31
Satan is binding the
people up into bundles,
00:14:41.34\00:14:45.21
getting ready to burn them.
00:14:45.25\00:14:48.42
You say, "This
is too strong." No.
00:14:48.45\00:14:51.25
This is old
fashioned American theology.
00:14:51.29\00:14:56.09
This is what the
Pilgrim Fathers believed.
00:14:56.12\00:14:59.33
What? What? What?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:14:59.36\00:15:03.37
This is what
the founding fathers
00:15:03.40\00:15:06.23
of America believed.
00:15:06.27\00:15:08.30
And this power that
ruled for more than 1000 years
00:15:08.34\00:15:12.31
came to an end in 1798
00:15:12.34\00:15:15.14
when Napoleon sent
one of his generals,
00:15:15.18\00:15:18.01
General Berthier down into Rome,
00:15:18.05\00:15:21.42
and took the pontiff prisoner.
00:15:21.45\00:15:25.12
No! Yes.
00:15:25.15\00:15:27.19
How do you know?
00:15:27.22\00:15:28.56
Go, just go online.
00:15:28.59\00:15:30.86
Check it out.
00:15:30.89\00:15:32.23
Check out the Inquisition,
00:15:32.26\00:15:34.10
check out the Dark Ages,
00:15:34.13\00:15:36.40
check out the French Revolution,
00:15:36.43\00:15:37.93
check out General Berthier.
00:15:37.97\00:15:42.24
And so we're looking here today
00:15:42.27\00:15:44.57
at a pseudo Christian power.
00:15:44.61\00:15:48.31
Would educated person
can deny these things?
00:15:48.34\00:15:53.92
You need to
think outside the box.
00:15:53.95\00:15:58.75
Because Jesus said,
"You'll know the truth,
00:15:58.79\00:16:01.99
and the truth
will make you free."
00:16:02.02\00:16:05.43
But if you don't know the truth,
00:16:05.46\00:16:07.63
you will be in
bondage in every way possible.
00:16:07.66\00:16:10.57
Now look at Daniel 7:27.
00:16:10.60\00:16:14.94
Daniel 7:27.
00:16:14.97\00:16:17.27
After the rule of antichrist,
00:16:17.31\00:16:21.61
"Then the kingdom and
dominion, and the greatness
00:16:21.64\00:16:24.25
of the kingdoms
under the whole heaven,
00:16:24.28\00:16:26.18
shall be given to the people
of the saints of the Most High.
00:16:26.21\00:16:30.55
His kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom,
00:16:30.59\00:16:32.95
and all dominions
shall serve and obey Him."
00:16:32.99\00:16:37.23
There is a great
event to which everything
00:16:37.26\00:16:40.16
in history moves,
00:16:40.20\00:16:43.67
nothing can stop it.
00:16:43.70\00:16:45.03
It's an extra bowl.
00:16:45.07\00:16:48.94
When you study the
great prophecy of Daniel 7,
00:16:48.97\00:16:51.21
you have Babylon, Medo-Persia,
00:16:51.24\00:16:53.54
Greece, and Rome.
00:16:53.58\00:16:55.68
The division of the Roman Empire
00:16:55.71\00:16:57.35
into the kingdoms
and the states of Europe
00:16:57.38\00:16:59.45
written down 2500 years ago.
00:16:59.48\00:17:04.19
Has Richard
Dawkins ever studied this?
00:17:04.22\00:17:05.72
No, of course not.
00:17:05.75\00:17:07.96
Because he came
out of that system
00:17:07.99\00:17:11.69
and was kept in darkness.
00:17:11.73\00:17:13.96
I can understand his anger.
00:17:14.00\00:17:16.80
So Babylon,
Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome,
00:17:16.83\00:17:19.43
the breakup of the Roman Empire,
00:17:19.47\00:17:23.00
and then the
little king who comes.
00:17:23.04\00:17:26.27
We're gonna have a look at this.
00:17:26.31\00:17:27.64
Look at the following facts.
00:17:27.68\00:17:29.01
Number one, Babylon.
00:17:29.04\00:17:31.05
That's a fact.
00:17:31.08\00:17:32.41
Number two, Medo-Persia.
00:17:32.45\00:17:35.38
That's a fact.
Don't argue about it.
00:17:35.42\00:17:37.49
Number three, Greece.
00:17:37.52\00:17:40.19
That's a fact.
00:17:40.22\00:17:41.56
Number four, Rome.
00:17:41.59\00:17:44.39
Don't talk to me about faith.
00:17:44.43\00:17:46.33
And then after Rome came Europe.
00:17:46.36\00:17:50.23
And they were the ten
horns on the Roman beast.
00:17:50.27\00:17:54.57
And then after Europe,
00:17:54.60\00:17:56.10
you have the religious kingdom
00:17:56.14\00:17:59.21
that everybody knows about.
00:18:02.24\00:18:05.41
Everybody knows about it.
00:18:05.45\00:18:07.55
Now, if this is true,
00:18:07.58\00:18:11.65
then there is a God.
00:18:14.72\00:18:16.93
I'm going to read
you a statement here.
00:18:16.96\00:18:18.49
This is pretty heavy stuff.
00:18:21.53\00:18:25.10
I'm going to quote
00:18:25.13\00:18:28.64
an old historian,
00:18:28.67\00:18:31.07
Dr. Grattan Guinness,
00:18:31.11\00:18:33.88
wish I had name like that.
00:18:33.91\00:18:36.48
He says,
00:18:36.51\00:18:38.11
he wrote in the 19th century,
00:18:38.15\00:18:40.28
"Even the Romanists
themselves shame you
00:18:40.32\00:18:43.02
in their
clear-sighted comprehension
00:18:43.05\00:18:44.85
of the issues of his question.
00:18:44.89\00:18:46.65
Cardinal Manning says,
00:18:46.69\00:18:48.32
'The Catholic Church is
either the masterpiece of Satan
00:18:48.36\00:18:51.59
or the kingdom
of the Son of God.'
00:18:51.63\00:18:55.26
You shrink from it,
do you? I accept it.
00:18:55.30\00:18:57.97
Conscience constraints
me. History compels me.
00:18:58.00\00:19:01.94
The past, the awful
past rises before me.
00:19:01.97\00:19:05.24
I see The Great Apostasy,
00:19:05.27\00:19:08.71
I see the
desolation of Christendom,
00:19:08.74\00:19:11.08
I see the smoking ruins,
00:19:11.11\00:19:13.25
I see the reign of monsters."
00:19:13.28\00:19:17.52
You say, "Well,
nobody talks it."
00:19:17.55\00:19:18.89
No, of course not.
00:19:18.92\00:19:21.26
Because political correctness
00:19:21.29\00:19:23.16
and religious bigotry
has us by our throats.
00:19:23.19\00:19:27.36
Let me tell you this.
00:19:27.40\00:19:29.16
Look at me.
00:19:29.20\00:19:30.53
God has got His
people in every church.
00:19:30.57\00:19:34.60
He's got millions in the
great Roman Catholic Church.
00:19:34.64\00:19:37.64
My father was a Roman Catholic.
00:19:37.67\00:19:40.24
He's got them in
the Protestant churches.
00:19:40.28\00:19:42.41
God has got His
people everywhere,
00:19:42.44\00:19:44.28
but we are not
talking about people,
00:19:44.31\00:19:47.75
we're talking about a system
00:19:47.78\00:19:51.29
that deceived the world
00:19:51.32\00:19:53.29
and maybe you too.
00:19:53.32\00:19:56.83
Let me read on
what Dr. Guinness says.
00:19:56.86\00:20:01.33
"I hear their
insufferable blasphemies,
00:20:01.36\00:20:03.30
I see their abominable lives.
00:20:03.33\00:20:07.04
I see them worship
by blinded generations,
00:20:07.07\00:20:09.50
bestowing hollow benedictions,
00:20:09.54\00:20:11.87
bartering, lying indulgences,
00:20:11.91\00:20:13.98
creating a
paganized Christianity."
00:20:14.01\00:20:17.65
If you doubt this,
00:20:17.68\00:20:19.71
if you got the stomach for it,
00:20:19.75\00:20:21.55
go and look at the movie,
00:20:21.58\00:20:23.49
The Borgias.
00:20:23.52\00:20:24.99
It was running, you can see it.
00:20:25.02\00:20:26.79
You don't need
to go to a theatre
00:20:26.82\00:20:28.16
but you can go on
Netflix or something,
00:20:28.19\00:20:30.86
look at The Borgias.
00:20:30.89\00:20:32.26
Don't look at it too much.
00:20:32.29\00:20:34.03
It's so corrupt.
00:20:34.06\00:20:37.03
So filthy.
00:20:37.07\00:20:40.67
It's about the
Church of the Dark Ages,
00:20:40.70\00:20:44.07
a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
00:20:44.11\00:20:48.51
"I see the racks,
the dungeons, the stakes,
00:20:48.54\00:20:51.15
I see that inhuman Inquisition,
those fires of Smithfield
00:20:51.18\00:20:55.75
that Spanish armada.
00:20:55.78\00:20:59.65
I see it all,
00:20:59.69\00:21:01.06
and in the name of the ruin
it has wrought in the church
00:21:01.09\00:21:03.89
and in the world,
00:21:03.93\00:21:05.26
in the name of the
truth, it has denied,
00:21:05.29\00:21:07.96
the temple, it has defiled,
00:21:08.00\00:21:10.23
the God it has blasphemed,
00:21:10.27\00:21:12.67
the souls it has destroyed.
00:21:12.70\00:21:16.44
In the name of the
millions, it has deluded,
00:21:16.47\00:21:18.91
the millions it has slaughtered,
00:21:18.94\00:21:21.14
with noble reformers,
00:21:24.15\00:21:25.78
with innumerable martyrs,
00:21:25.81\00:21:28.18
with the saints of ages,
00:21:28.22\00:21:30.45
I denounce it as the
masterpiece of Satan,
00:21:30.49\00:21:33.79
as the body and soul
00:21:33.82\00:21:36.02
and essence of antichrist."
00:21:36.06\00:21:40.36
This man was not a
member of my church.
00:21:40.40\00:21:42.33
He was an historian.
00:21:46.37\00:21:49.87
And he dealt in facts.
00:21:49.90\00:21:53.91
Now if all this is true,
00:21:53.94\00:21:56.38
if it is true,
you've got facts here today,
00:21:56.41\00:21:59.31
that I hope it disturbed you.
00:21:59.35\00:22:02.95
If it is true, we come
back to the three questions.
00:22:02.98\00:22:05.72
Where did I come from?
00:22:05.75\00:22:07.09
I came from God
because the Bible is true.
00:22:07.12\00:22:09.82
Why am I here? I'm
here for a purpose.
00:22:09.86\00:22:12.06
God has got
something for me to do.
00:22:12.09\00:22:15.16
I know why I'm here
and I know where I'm going,
00:22:15.20\00:22:19.07
is heaven at last.
00:22:19.10\00:22:20.77
Poor Richard Dawkins says this
and I'm not critical of him.
00:22:20.80\00:22:23.87
He says, when he dies,
00:22:23.91\00:22:25.77
he's going to stand on
the deck of the sinking ship
00:22:25.81\00:22:29.14
and salute to nowhere.
00:22:29.18\00:22:32.11
Here I go,
doesn't say God help me
00:22:32.15\00:22:34.05
because there's no God.
00:22:34.08\00:22:36.28
He's simply a product of
time plus matter plus chance.
00:22:36.32\00:22:40.96
I say, bought a lot of ballyhoo.
00:22:40.99\00:22:42.86
I know,
00:22:46.19\00:22:48.06
prophecy demonstrates
that the Bible is true.
00:22:48.10\00:22:51.07
That's why I have
had so much success
00:22:51.10\00:22:55.07
in talking to atheists.
00:22:55.10\00:22:57.21
There's an Oxford scholar
who said, we came from nothing.
00:22:57.24\00:23:00.21
That's nonsense.
00:23:00.24\00:23:01.78
Come on.
00:23:01.81\00:23:03.38
Get over it.
00:23:03.41\00:23:04.85
In Kiev,
00:23:04.88\00:23:06.41
where we ran a
tremendous campaign.
00:23:06.45\00:23:09.22
I was asked to be
president at a march-past
00:23:09.25\00:23:12.52
of Ukrainian's
officers and soldiers.
00:23:12.55\00:23:15.02
We baptized so many of them.
00:23:15.06\00:23:17.59
I stood on the dais.
00:23:17.63\00:23:19.89
They asked me
to take the salute.
00:23:19.93\00:23:21.56
I said, "I don't think so.
00:23:21.60\00:23:22.93
I'm not a general."
00:23:26.03\00:23:28.97
But in that very place,
00:23:29.00\00:23:32.01
I'd welcomed into Christianity,
00:23:32.04\00:23:33.98
the former
leader of the atheists,
00:23:34.01\00:23:37.75
like Richard
Dawkins, he was a professor,
00:23:37.78\00:23:40.88
and he had a job
00:23:40.92\00:23:42.48
to teach these young men,
00:23:42.52\00:23:45.72
atheism, Marxism.
00:23:45.75\00:23:49.49
I had the
privilege of baptizing him.
00:23:49.52\00:23:52.39
He gave me a silver
cross that I keep in my drawer.
00:23:52.43\00:23:55.63
Silver cross.
00:23:55.66\00:23:57.80
He said, I was...
00:23:57.83\00:24:00.80
These guys,
goose step, you know,
00:24:00.84\00:24:02.37
just like the
Nazis used to goose step.
00:24:02.40\00:24:05.97
They don't call
it goose stepping,
00:24:06.01\00:24:07.34
but that's how they march.
00:24:07.38\00:24:09.38
You got to have
pretty strong legs.
00:24:09.41\00:24:11.05
I probably would
last for one second.
00:24:11.08\00:24:15.12
He said to me,
00:24:15.15\00:24:16.85
"We have been taught atheism.
00:24:16.89\00:24:19.19
We were brainwashed."
00:24:19.22\00:24:20.56
He said, "We've
got blood on our hands
00:24:20.59\00:24:23.66
from the people we killed."
00:24:23.69\00:24:25.89
Dostoyevsky,
"If there is no God,
00:24:25.93\00:24:27.83
everything is possible.
00:24:27.86\00:24:29.33
Everything is permitted."
00:24:29.36\00:24:32.33
But he said, "Now at last,
00:24:32.37\00:24:35.57
I know where I came from."
00:24:35.60\00:24:37.67
This, this, follow my logic.
00:24:37.71\00:24:40.98
If this book is true,
00:24:41.01\00:24:43.31
and prophecy demonstrates it is,
00:24:43.35\00:24:47.48
then it tells me
of a God who loves me,
00:24:47.52\00:24:52.19
and a God who gave
His Son to die for me.
00:24:52.22\00:24:55.52
You see?
00:24:55.56\00:24:56.89
That God came down from glory,
00:24:56.93\00:25:00.66
and died on the
cross for my sins.
00:25:00.70\00:25:03.77
What an idea.
00:25:03.80\00:25:05.23
And rose from the dead.
00:25:05.27\00:25:07.24
Not an idea, what a reality.
00:25:07.27\00:25:10.17
I believe it not
because of faith,
00:25:10.21\00:25:11.84
but because it happened.
00:25:11.87\00:25:14.34
You see?
00:25:14.38\00:25:16.98
So if this is so I
know where I came from,
00:25:17.01\00:25:18.88
I know why I am here.
00:25:18.91\00:25:21.72
There is a purpose in living.
00:25:21.75\00:25:23.72
Jesus said, "I have
come that they may have life
00:25:23.75\00:25:27.22
and have it more abundantly."
00:25:27.26\00:25:30.89
Step out of the
grave, start to live.
00:25:30.93\00:25:35.63
And I know where I'm going.
00:25:35.66\00:25:37.90
At the end of the road,
00:25:37.93\00:25:40.14
there's a bright,
bright, shining light.
00:25:40.17\00:25:43.87
Therefore,
00:25:43.91\00:25:45.57
in view of this,
00:25:45.61\00:25:47.98
I say to you,
00:25:48.01\00:25:49.74
in the name of God,
00:25:49.78\00:25:53.35
believe in the God
00:25:53.38\00:25:55.85
who believes in you.
00:25:55.88\00:25:59.29
He believes in you.
00:25:59.32\00:26:02.02
He sees you.
00:26:02.06\00:26:03.89
He loves you.
00:26:03.93\00:26:06.16
Step out of the darkness
00:26:06.19\00:26:08.76
and step into the sunshine.
00:26:08.80\00:26:11.90
Believe in the God
00:26:11.93\00:26:14.20
who believes in you,
00:26:14.24\00:26:16.07
for Jesus sake.
00:26:16.10\00:26:18.87
Amen,
00:26:18.91\00:26:21.01
and amen.
00:26:21.04\00:26:22.38
Hello, friend.
00:26:31.59\00:26:32.99
I'm John Carter.
00:26:33.02\00:26:34.36
Behind me is the
great city of Manila,
00:26:34.39\00:26:38.19
the capital of the Philippines.
00:26:38.23\00:26:40.50
Did you know,
this is quite amazing.
00:26:40.53\00:26:42.33
There are more
people living in this area
00:26:42.36\00:26:44.53
than in New York City.
00:26:44.57\00:26:46.50
And Christ died
for these people.
00:26:46.53\00:26:49.40
We came here,
00:26:49.44\00:26:50.77
oh, long time ago back in 1984.
00:26:50.81\00:26:55.38
What's that, 34, 35 years ago,
00:26:55.41\00:26:58.35
and we came here with
a team of young people
00:26:58.38\00:27:00.68
and we came to the PICC.
00:27:00.72\00:27:03.79
It is our intent to come here,
00:27:03.82\00:27:06.19
hire the biggest
hall that's available,
00:27:06.22\00:27:08.32
the greatest outdoor
stadium, whatever it takes.
00:27:08.36\00:27:12.66
You've got more than
20 million souls out here.
00:27:12.69\00:27:17.60
And I say it again.
00:27:17.63\00:27:18.97
These are people
for whom Christ died.
00:27:19.00\00:27:21.74
I'm asking you to pray
00:27:21.77\00:27:23.10
for the people
of the Philippines.
00:27:23.14\00:27:25.34
Please pray for the
people here in Metro Manila.
