Welcome to the Carter Report.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.30
John Carter believes
in the power of truth,
00:00:03.33\00:00:05.93
not fiction, not fairy tales,
00:00:05.97\00:00:08.67
but pure truth.
00:00:08.70\00:00:10.51
In his quest for this truth,
00:00:10.54\00:00:12.37
he has explored the
mystical Middle East,
00:00:12.41\00:00:14.71
where the great religions
of the world were born.
00:00:14.74\00:00:17.85
He has walked in the
footsteps of ancient prophets
00:00:17.88\00:00:20.92
through forgotten empires.
00:00:20.95\00:00:22.98
He has visited
Babylon, Jerusalem, and Egypt
00:00:23.02\00:00:26.79
where ancient
prophets recorded messages,
00:00:26.82\00:00:29.09
especially relevant for today.
00:00:29.12\00:00:31.59
Here are his answers to
life's biggest questions.
00:00:31.63\00:00:35.66
Welcome to The Astounding
World of The Prophets.
00:00:35.70\00:00:38.10
I'm so glad to have
you in our house today.
00:00:41.94\00:00:45.81
This week, we're celebrating
00:00:45.84\00:00:47.18
the whole week
Beverley's birthday.
00:00:47.21\00:00:49.48
And so I want to
welcome you to our home.
00:00:49.51\00:00:53.08
We want you to feel that
you're at home at our place.
00:00:53.11\00:00:58.05
I want to give a
special welcome too,
00:00:58.09\00:00:59.49
to my old friend, Wayne Hackett.
00:00:59.52\00:01:02.72
He's the voice you're
going to hear in these programs.
00:01:02.76\00:01:05.66
You've heard his
voice over and over again.
00:01:05.69\00:01:08.16
One of the most
recognizable voices
00:01:08.20\00:01:11.90
in the whole of the
United States of America.
00:01:11.93\00:01:14.67
So, Wayne, my old
friend of many years,
00:01:14.70\00:01:17.87
welcome to our house today.
00:01:17.91\00:01:20.68
Pastor Carter, it's
good to be with you.
00:01:20.71\00:01:23.65
We have some questions for you.
00:01:23.68\00:01:25.71
The prophecies in the Bible.
00:01:25.75\00:01:27.48
Are they genuine
00:01:27.52\00:01:29.05
and can they be
scientifically proven?
00:01:29.08\00:01:34.12
Are they genuine prophecies?
00:01:34.16\00:01:36.22
Absolutely.
00:01:36.26\00:01:38.16
Absolutely.
00:01:38.19\00:01:40.16
Is this craziness?
00:01:40.20\00:01:41.53
No, no, no, no, no.
00:01:41.56\00:01:43.60
One great
philosopher said these words,
00:01:43.63\00:01:46.43
"If genuine prophecy exists,
00:01:46.47\00:01:48.80
then the main
issues of our age are met."
00:01:48.84\00:01:51.84
What are the main issues?
00:01:51.87\00:01:53.64
Summed up in three questions.
00:01:53.68\00:01:55.18
Number one,
00:01:55.21\00:01:56.81
where did I come from?
00:01:56.85\00:01:58.58
Number two,
00:01:58.61\00:02:00.92
why am I here?
00:02:00.95\00:02:02.42
Number three,
00:02:02.45\00:02:03.99
where am I going?
00:02:04.02\00:02:06.02
Now, if you can't
answer those questions
00:02:06.05\00:02:08.19
with real
satisfaction to your soul,
00:02:08.22\00:02:10.63
you're not going to be
a very, very happy person.
00:02:10.66\00:02:14.03
How do I know?
00:02:14.06\00:02:15.40
I've spoken to millions
and millions of atheists
00:02:15.43\00:02:17.63
in the old Soviet
Union, in Russia and Ukraine.
00:02:17.67\00:02:21.44
There was a great professor
00:02:21.47\00:02:22.80
who came to my
lectures, our lectures
00:02:22.84\00:02:25.67
in the great city of Kiev
00:02:25.71\00:02:27.74
in the Palace of Sport downtown.
00:02:27.78\00:02:30.51
This man was so great an atheist
00:02:30.55\00:02:34.15
that they put him in charge
00:02:34.18\00:02:35.78
of the
indoctrination of the soldiers
00:02:35.82\00:02:39.12
who worked for the communists.
00:02:39.15\00:02:41.92
He taught them
atheism, taught them Marxism,
00:02:41.96\00:02:47.20
but deep down in his soul,
00:02:47.23\00:02:48.60
like so many
people in the world today,
00:02:48.63\00:02:51.33
he was an unhappy person
00:02:51.37\00:02:53.50
because I'm telling you, friend,
00:02:53.54\00:02:55.87
you can't be happy
00:02:55.90\00:02:57.44
unless you can answer
those three big questions.
00:02:57.47\00:03:00.28
Where did I come from?
00:03:00.31\00:03:01.64
Why am I here?
00:03:01.68\00:03:03.01
And where am I going?
00:03:03.04\00:03:04.98
In fact, there's
another big question.
00:03:05.01\00:03:06.92
Who am I?
00:03:06.95\00:03:08.85
Or what am I?
00:03:08.88\00:03:11.69
Am I simply just an accident?
00:03:11.72\00:03:13.96
Am I a machine?
00:03:13.99\00:03:16.59
Am I an animal? Who am I?
00:03:16.62\00:03:20.73
Now one great
philosopher, listen to this.
00:03:20.76\00:03:22.76
He said it,
00:03:22.80\00:03:24.83
"If genuine prophecy exists,
00:03:24.87\00:03:27.47
then the main
issues of our age are met."
00:03:27.50\00:03:29.80
Never forget this.
00:03:29.84\00:03:31.17
If genuine prophecy exists,
00:03:31.21\00:03:32.54
then the main
issues of our age are met.
00:03:32.57\00:03:35.24
Now, today, I'm
going to show you
00:03:35.28\00:03:37.48
a genuine prophecy.
00:03:37.51\00:03:39.58
I want you to notice it.
00:03:39.61\00:03:41.15
I want you to verify if you can.
00:03:41.18\00:03:45.12
I want you to think
like that old Professor Todd,
00:03:45.15\00:03:47.92
he came to those great
meetings in the city of Kiev.
00:03:47.96\00:03:51.03
He heard this prophecy,
00:03:51.06\00:03:52.79
he heard many other prophecies.
00:03:52.83\00:03:54.20
We had tremendous
crowds of people coming.
00:03:54.23\00:03:57.17
Hundreds of thousands
of people were coming.
00:03:57.20\00:04:00.04
And when he heard the evidence,
00:04:00.07\00:04:02.07
he discovered the
truth about absolute reality.
00:04:02.10\00:04:06.37
I'm going to take you
right now to the Book of Daniel.
00:04:06.41\00:04:08.68
Daniel Chapter 2
written 2,500 years ago,
00:04:08.71\00:04:12.75
written in the
great city of Babylon
00:04:12.78\00:04:15.85
when Nebuchadnezzar
00:04:15.88\00:04:18.05
was the leading
force in the world,
00:04:18.09\00:04:20.06
was the king
really of the world.
00:04:20.09\00:04:23.19
Daniel 2:31 and onwards.
00:04:23.22\00:04:27.73
Daniel is talking to the king.
00:04:27.76\00:04:29.10
He says,
00:04:29.13\00:04:30.47
"You look to a king
00:04:30.50\00:04:31.83
and there before you
stood a large statue,
00:04:31.87\00:04:34.07
big metal man
00:04:34.10\00:04:36.14
and awesome dazzling statue,
00:04:36.17\00:04:38.67
awesome in appearance.
00:04:38.71\00:04:41.14
The head of the
statue was made of pure gold,
00:04:41.18\00:04:44.55
its chest and arms of silver,
00:04:44.58\00:04:47.62
its belly and thighs of bronze,
00:04:47.65\00:04:50.02
its legs of iron,
00:04:50.05\00:04:52.19
its feet partly of iron
00:04:52.22\00:04:54.02
and partly of baked clay."
00:04:54.06\00:04:58.76
An amazing, amazing spectacle.
00:04:58.79\00:05:01.16
A great metal man.
00:05:01.20\00:05:04.90
How do we know
00:05:04.93\00:05:06.27
that you're not
just making this up
00:05:06.30\00:05:08.14
to fit a set of beliefs?
00:05:08.17\00:05:11.67
What does it mean?
00:05:11.71\00:05:13.04
How do we know that
00:05:13.07\00:05:14.41
we're just not
making this stuff up?
00:05:14.44\00:05:16.91
Well, I want to read on a
little bit in this prophecy,
00:05:16.95\00:05:20.82
because this is a prophecy
00:05:20.85\00:05:22.98
that was given 2,500 years ago.
00:05:23.02\00:05:27.26
Okay. Let me read this to you.
00:05:27.29\00:05:31.36
It says in verse 34 and 35,
00:05:31.39\00:05:37.07
when I read this to you.
00:05:37.10\00:05:38.77
"While You were watching,
00:05:38.80\00:05:40.70
a rock was cut out,
but not by human hands.
00:05:40.74\00:05:44.44
It struck the statue on
its feet of iron and clay
00:05:44.47\00:05:47.71
and smashed them.
00:05:47.74\00:05:49.84
Then the iron, the clay,
00:05:49.88\00:05:51.45
the bronze, the
silver and the gold
00:05:51.48\00:05:53.65
were broken to
pieces at the same time
00:05:53.68\00:05:56.18
and became like chaff
00:05:56.22\00:05:57.62
on a threshing
floor in the summer.
00:05:57.65\00:06:00.06
The wind swept them
away without leaving a trace.
00:06:00.09\00:06:03.96
But the rock
that struck the statue
00:06:03.99\00:06:06.43
became a huge mountain
00:06:06.46\00:06:09.36
and filled the whole earth."
00:06:09.40\00:06:13.84
What does it mean?
00:06:13.87\00:06:16.40
It goes back 2,500 years.
00:06:16.44\00:06:19.51
It's given in Babylon,
00:06:19.54\00:06:21.78
this marvelous ancient city
00:06:21.81\00:06:23.75
that was ruled over by a king,
by the name of Nebuchadnezzar.
00:06:23.78\00:06:27.58
Big metal man,
00:06:27.62\00:06:28.95
head of gold, chest of silver,
00:06:28.98\00:06:31.05
belly and thighs of
bronze, legs of iron, feet
00:06:31.09\00:06:34.82
part of iron and part of clay.
00:06:34.86\00:06:36.29
And then there comes
this tremendous stone
00:06:36.32\00:06:41.03
that shatters this great image
00:06:41.06\00:06:42.86
and breaks it
into a billion pieces.
00:06:42.90\00:06:45.53
I'm here to tell you
today, I want you to listen up.
00:06:45.57\00:06:47.84
I want you to listen
very, very carefully.
00:06:47.87\00:06:50.01
My friend, wherever
you are in this wide world,
00:06:50.04\00:06:55.31
this is a prophecy
00:06:55.34\00:06:57.28
they've predicted
00:06:57.31\00:06:58.81
2,500 years of history.
00:06:58.85\00:07:04.19
If this is
true, if this is true,
00:07:04.22\00:07:09.22
then I would suggest to you,
00:07:09.26\00:07:10.99
then we can answer the question,
00:07:11.03\00:07:12.69
where did I come from?
00:07:12.73\00:07:14.06
Why am I here?
And where am I going?
00:07:14.10\00:07:18.03
Where are the facts
00:07:18.07\00:07:19.40
to support your
claim of real prophecies?
00:07:19.43\00:07:24.41
Truth is tremendously important.
00:07:24.44\00:07:27.88
Jesus Christ,
00:07:27.91\00:07:29.24
the founder of
Christianity said,
00:07:29.28\00:07:30.85
"You will know the truth
00:07:30.88\00:07:33.01
and the truth
will make you free."
00:07:33.05\00:07:36.82
So here today, we're not
here just to talk speculation.
00:07:36.85\00:07:40.39
We're not here to
tell you fairy tales.
00:07:40.42\00:07:43.16
We're talking here about facts
00:07:43.19\00:07:45.23
that have convinced
00:07:45.26\00:07:46.63
thousands and
thousands and thousands
00:07:46.66\00:07:49.96
of atheists and communists.
00:07:50.00\00:07:53.27
I want you to
entertain these facts
00:07:53.30\00:07:56.54
and I want you, my friend,
00:07:56.57\00:07:59.11
to draw your own conclusions.
00:07:59.14\00:08:02.28
Now, I'm going to
read on in the prophecy.
00:08:02.31\00:08:04.88
I want you please
to listen to this.
00:08:04.91\00:08:07.65
Here it is.
00:08:07.68\00:08:09.25
Here it is.
00:08:09.28\00:08:10.65
Verse 36 of Daniel Chapter 2.
00:08:10.69\00:08:14.66
"This was the dream,
00:08:14.69\00:08:16.12
and now we will
interpret it to the king."
00:08:16.16\00:08:20.56
So here comes
the interpretation.
00:08:20.60\00:08:22.90
It goes back 2,500 years.
00:08:22.93\00:08:25.40
"You, O king, are
the king of kings.
00:08:25.43\00:08:28.54
The God of heaven
has given you dominion
00:08:28.57\00:08:30.44
and power and might and glory,
00:08:30.47\00:08:33.07
in your hands he
has placed mankind
00:08:33.11\00:08:35.14
and the beasts of the
field and the birds of the air.
00:08:35.18\00:08:37.98
Wherever they live,
00:08:38.01\00:08:39.35
he has made you
ruler over them all.
00:08:39.38\00:08:43.65
You are the head of gold."
00:08:43.69\00:08:47.16
So here we have an explanation
given 2,500 years ago,
00:08:47.19\00:08:51.29
had a studs with a
head of this great colossus
00:08:51.33\00:08:54.56
and it says that
00:08:54.60\00:08:55.96
Nebuchadnezzar representing
the kingdom of Babylon
00:08:56.00\00:08:59.20
that ruled the world
from a 605, 606 to 538 BC
00:08:59.23\00:09:05.17
was represented
by the head of gold.
00:09:05.21\00:09:07.01
Are you listening to me?
00:09:07.04\00:09:10.25
You told us about
Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom.
00:09:10.28\00:09:12.78
What can you tell us
00:09:12.81\00:09:14.15
about the other
kingdoms that followed
00:09:14.18\00:09:16.15
and do these fulfill prophecy?
00:09:16.18\00:09:18.35
Now, we know that the
head of the great man,
00:09:20.76\00:09:23.79
this great colossus
00:09:23.83\00:09:25.29
represents the
kingdom of Babylon
00:09:25.33\00:09:27.36
that ruled the
world from 606, 605 BC
00:09:27.40\00:09:31.83
right through to 538.
00:09:31.87\00:09:34.04
So we're starting here
00:09:34.07\00:09:35.54
with a definite
period in historical time.
00:09:35.57\00:09:39.94
We're not talking
here of fairy tales,
00:09:39.97\00:09:41.81
but there's more.
00:09:41.84\00:09:43.18
And I'm going to read it to you,
00:09:43.21\00:09:44.55
Daniel 2:39-40.
00:09:44.58\00:09:49.05
Please listen.
00:09:49.08\00:09:50.92
"After you," after
the kingdom of Babylon,
00:09:50.95\00:09:53.66
"another kingdom
will rise inferior to you.
00:09:53.69\00:09:57.23
Next, a third
kingdom, one of bronze
00:09:57.26\00:10:00.20
will rule over the whole earth.
00:10:00.23\00:10:02.96
Finally, there will
be a fourth kingdom,
00:10:03.00\00:10:05.23
strong as iron,
00:10:05.27\00:10:06.87
for iron breaks
and smashes everything,
00:10:06.90\00:10:09.57
and as iron
breaks things to pieces,
00:10:09.60\00:10:12.27
so it will crush and
break all the others."
00:10:12.31\00:10:15.81
So the old prophet Daniel,
00:10:15.84\00:10:18.88
actually, he was
only just a young guy.
00:10:18.91\00:10:21.95
He says to the young king
of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar,
00:10:21.98\00:10:24.89
well, you are the head of gold,
00:10:24.92\00:10:26.65
but after you, there's
going to come another kingdom,
00:10:26.69\00:10:28.69
it's going to be
like the chest of silver.
00:10:28.72\00:10:31.09
And then you're
going to have the thighs
00:10:31.13\00:10:32.73
and the belly made a bronze.
00:10:32.76\00:10:35.10
That's going to
be another kingdom.
00:10:35.13\00:10:37.13
And then there's
going to be a fourth empire
00:10:37.17\00:10:39.37
that's going to
be as strong as iron.
00:10:39.40\00:10:43.44
Every word came to pass.
00:10:43.47\00:10:48.14
And the professor of atheism
00:10:48.18\00:10:50.35
for the communist
youth in Kiev said,
00:10:50.38\00:10:53.45
I've studied this in
our secular universities.
00:10:53.48\00:10:57.15
And what this guy is
saying is absolutely the truth
00:10:57.19\00:11:01.69
because after
Babylon came Medo-Persia,
00:11:01.72\00:11:05.56
symbolized by the
chest and the arms of silver,
00:11:05.59\00:11:09.36
and after Medo-Persia
00:11:09.40\00:11:10.77
came the bronze
kingdom of Greece
00:11:10.80\00:11:13.74
under Alexander the Great,
00:11:13.77\00:11:15.97
but the Bible prophet said
00:11:16.00\00:11:18.04
that 2,500 years ago
00:11:18.07\00:11:20.04
that the fourth
great world empire
00:11:20.08\00:11:22.61
starting at Babylon
00:11:22.64\00:11:25.01
would be an iron kingdom.
00:11:25.05\00:11:26.72
And history tells
me it came to pass.
00:11:26.75\00:11:29.32
We call it the
iron monarchy of Rome.
00:11:29.35\00:11:33.79
How did the prophet know
Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece,
00:11:33.82\00:11:38.29
and then the
iron monarchy of Rome?
00:11:38.33\00:11:41.73
It's called the
iron monarchy of Rome.
00:11:41.76\00:11:47.10
It was written
before it happened.
00:11:47.14\00:11:51.07
Can you tell us more
00:11:51.11\00:11:52.44
about the kingdoms
and what they mean?
00:11:52.47\00:11:57.15
There's more to come.
00:11:57.18\00:11:59.31
I want to take you again
to the words of the prophecy
00:11:59.35\00:12:01.85
written 2,500 years ago.
00:12:01.88\00:12:04.85
Now we come to verse 41.
00:12:04.89\00:12:06.96
It says,
00:12:06.99\00:12:08.32
"Just as you saw
that the feet and toes
00:12:08.36\00:12:10.23
were partly of baked
clay and partly of iron,
00:12:10.26\00:12:13.70
so this will be
00:12:13.73\00:12:15.26
a divided kingdom."
00:12:15.30\00:12:20.14
So the prophet said
00:12:20.17\00:12:22.00
that after the Roman
Empire, the empire of iron,
00:12:22.04\00:12:25.44
everything would become divided,
00:12:25.47\00:12:27.91
and it all be broken up.
00:12:27.94\00:12:30.35
And that's exactly what happened
00:12:30.38\00:12:32.81
between 300 and 500 AD,
00:12:32.85\00:12:36.82
the Great Roman Empire
00:12:36.85\00:12:38.32
because of
corruption and internal rot
00:12:38.35\00:12:41.62
and every other thing
that you can think of,
00:12:41.66\00:12:44.89
just broke up.
00:12:44.93\00:12:46.26
It wasn't followed
by another world empire,
00:12:46.29\00:12:49.40
but it broke up
into the kingdoms
00:12:49.43\00:12:51.17
and the states of Europe.
00:12:51.20\00:12:53.74
Now, we're not
making this up, folks.
00:12:53.77\00:12:55.47
This is history.
00:12:55.50\00:12:58.04
It actually came to pass.
00:12:58.07\00:13:00.51
Now I'm going to
read you something else.
00:13:00.54\00:13:02.41
If you don't mind, I
want to read this to you.
00:13:02.44\00:13:04.61
I'm going to read you
some other verses here.
00:13:04.65\00:13:08.15
This is 44 and 45.
00:13:08.18\00:13:11.45
"In the time of those kings,
00:13:11.49\00:13:13.46
the God of heaven
will set up a kingdom
00:13:13.49\00:13:15.09
that will never be destroyed,
00:13:15.12\00:13:17.39
nor will it be
left to other people.
00:13:17.43\00:13:19.79
It will crush all those kingdoms
00:13:19.83\00:13:21.53
and bring them to an end,
00:13:21.56\00:13:23.53
but it will
itself endure forever.
00:13:23.57\00:13:28.00
This is the meaning
of the vision of the rock
00:13:28.04\00:13:30.31
cut out of the mountain,
00:13:30.34\00:13:31.67
but not by human hands,
00:13:31.71\00:13:33.38
a rock the broke the iron,
00:13:33.41\00:13:35.41
the bronze, the clay, the silver
00:13:35.44\00:13:37.85
and the gold to pieces.
00:13:37.88\00:13:40.25
The great God has shown the king
00:13:40.28\00:13:41.82
what will take
place in the future.
00:13:41.85\00:13:44.22
The dream is true,
00:13:44.25\00:13:45.89
it's interpretation is certain."
00:13:45.92\00:13:49.82
Hey, what are we
going to do with this?
00:13:49.86\00:13:54.06
I mean, are we
just going to say,
00:13:54.10\00:13:55.43
this is it,
00:13:55.46\00:13:56.80
it's just an ordinary dream.
00:13:56.83\00:14:00.80
I want you to think about it
00:14:00.84\00:14:02.20
given more than 2,500 years ago.
00:14:02.24\00:14:05.61
It's a great metal man,
head of gold, chest of silver,
00:14:05.64\00:14:08.41
belly and thighs of
bronze, legs of iron.
00:14:08.44\00:14:11.91
Of course, that
represents the Roman Empire,
00:14:11.95\00:14:15.18
the great empire of the Caesars.
00:14:15.22\00:14:16.75
Nobody can doubt that,
00:14:16.79\00:14:18.12
given recorded the
iron monarchy of Rome.
00:14:18.15\00:14:21.26
And then the prophet
said 2,500 years ago,
00:14:21.29\00:14:23.73
that the kingdom
would be divided,
00:14:23.76\00:14:25.26
it'd be broken up.
00:14:25.29\00:14:26.80
But that's exactly what happened
00:14:26.83\00:14:28.16
between 300 and 500 AD,
00:14:28.20\00:14:30.63
the kingdom, the great
monarchy we can call it,
00:14:30.67\00:14:34.14
the empire of the Romans
was broken up into the kingdom
00:14:34.17\00:14:38.17
and the states of Europe.
00:14:38.21\00:14:40.28
But then you've got
this big stone that comes,
00:14:40.31\00:14:42.98
this tremendous stone of destiny
00:14:43.01\00:14:45.58
and it smashes into the image,
00:14:45.61\00:14:47.35
and everything is broken up
00:14:47.38\00:14:48.72
and the stone becomes a mountain
00:14:48.75\00:14:50.29
and fills the whole earth,
00:14:50.32\00:14:51.85
which of course
is the end of history
00:14:51.89\00:14:55.46
and the setting up
00:14:55.49\00:14:56.83
of a great
supernatural worldwide power.
00:14:56.86\00:15:02.30
Hey, that's still got to happen,
00:15:02.33\00:15:04.27
but the rest, my friend,
00:15:04.30\00:15:06.63
is already being fulfilled.
00:15:06.67\00:15:08.40
That's the fact.
00:15:08.44\00:15:11.24
Are you saying that we
had the history of the world
00:15:11.27\00:15:14.21
of Western civilization
00:15:14.24\00:15:16.11
told to us 2,500 years ago?
00:15:16.14\00:15:21.58
Yes, I am.
00:15:21.62\00:15:24.69
I am making that
extraordinary claim.
00:15:24.72\00:15:27.52
But I'm not
making it as a theologian
00:15:27.56\00:15:29.89
or as a preacher or
as a religious person.
00:15:29.92\00:15:33.06
I'm making it on the
basis of the facts of history.
00:15:33.09\00:15:37.37
I'm interested in truth.
00:15:40.40\00:15:42.00
I'm not
interested in fairy tales.
00:15:42.04\00:15:44.77
What about you?
00:15:44.81\00:15:46.27
I'm not
interested in speculation.
00:15:46.31\00:15:48.34
That's why I
found it so marvelous
00:15:48.38\00:15:50.58
to talk to tens of
thousands of communists,
00:15:50.61\00:15:53.35
no, millions of
atheists, unbelievers
00:15:53.38\00:15:57.32
in Russia and Ukraine.
00:15:57.35\00:16:00.89
Because they'd been taught that
00:16:00.92\00:16:02.52
the only thing that counted
was that which was factual.
00:16:02.56\00:16:07.16
Then they discovered
that communism was infactual.
00:16:07.20\00:16:09.83
It was just a big hoax.
00:16:09.86\00:16:12.17
But then I showed them
the prophecies of the Bible.
00:16:12.20\00:16:16.07
And so the old professor
00:16:16.10\00:16:17.44
who had been teaching
00:16:17.47\00:16:18.81
all of these Ukrainian soldiers,
00:16:18.84\00:16:20.28
that atheism was the answer.
00:16:20.31\00:16:22.64
He came to me and he
said, "It's not the answer."
00:16:22.68\00:16:24.41
He said,
00:16:24.45\00:16:25.78
"After I've
listened to these prophecies,
00:16:25.81\00:16:27.58
I'm absolutely certain
that the Bible must be true."
00:16:27.62\00:16:32.05
And he said,
00:16:32.09\00:16:33.42
"Hey, you told us about
the three big questions."
00:16:33.46\00:16:37.33
He said,
00:16:37.36\00:16:38.69
"I can now answer
those three big questions
00:16:38.73\00:16:40.80
with real satisfaction.
00:16:40.83\00:16:42.20
I know where I came from."
00:16:42.23\00:16:43.57
The Bible says,
00:16:43.60\00:16:44.93
you see this book
claims to tell about origins,
00:16:44.97\00:16:48.30
it claims to tell
where we came from.
00:16:48.34\00:16:50.24
In the beginning,
00:16:50.27\00:16:51.61
God created the
heavens and the earth.
00:16:51.64\00:16:53.44
It teaches that we are
simply not cousins to monkeys.
00:16:53.48\00:16:57.75
But we are made
in the image of God.
00:16:57.78\00:17:02.18
This is tremendous news.
00:17:02.22\00:17:03.62
I am a child of God,
00:17:03.65\00:17:04.99
I didn't come
down from the trees,
00:17:05.02\00:17:06.79
I came down
from the hand of God.
00:17:06.82\00:17:09.32
And the professor said to me,
00:17:09.36\00:17:10.76
"At last, I've got
peace, I know where I came from.
00:17:10.79\00:17:13.50
I know why I am here.
00:17:13.53\00:17:15.36
There is a purpose to my living.
00:17:15.40\00:17:18.10
The atheist could not
give me a purpose to my living.
00:17:18.13\00:17:21.70
And I know where I'm going,
00:17:21.74\00:17:24.01
the great stone
is going to come,
00:17:24.04\00:17:25.91
it's going to smite the image,
00:17:25.94\00:17:27.58
and the stone
represents the kingdom of God,
00:17:27.61\00:17:31.15
the best is yet to be.
00:17:31.18\00:17:34.98
Listen to you.
00:17:35.02\00:17:36.35
Listen to me, my friend.
00:17:36.38\00:17:38.09
Listen to me.
00:17:38.12\00:17:39.75
If this is true,
then life is great.
00:17:39.79\00:17:44.13
Life is great now,
and the best is yet to be.
00:17:44.16\00:17:50.10
You told us about some
other ancient prophecies
00:17:50.13\00:17:52.53
that have come true.
00:17:52.57\00:17:54.14
We've all heard the
prophecy of the Antichrist.
00:17:54.17\00:17:56.77
Can you tell us who it is?
00:17:56.81\00:18:00.68
So you're asking
about the prophecy
00:18:00.71\00:18:02.14
about the Antichrist.
00:18:02.18\00:18:03.51
One of the most
amazing prophecies,
00:18:03.55\00:18:05.18
I've taught this
around the world.
00:18:05.21\00:18:07.55
And I've seen thousands,
tens of thousands of atheists
00:18:07.58\00:18:12.52
give up their atheism
00:18:12.55\00:18:14.26
and their unbelief
and their cynicism,
00:18:14.29\00:18:16.79
and their despair and darkness,
00:18:16.83\00:18:18.86
as they discovered that
there is evidence for God.
00:18:18.89\00:18:21.36
Now I'm going to come
over here to Daniel Chapter 7,
00:18:21.40\00:18:24.67
and I'm going to
read to you verse 2.
00:18:24.70\00:18:28.97
This is another
prophetic vision.
00:18:29.00\00:18:33.27
I don't ask you
just to believe it.
00:18:33.31\00:18:34.91
I say just listen to
it, and you be the judge.
00:18:34.94\00:18:39.41
"Daniel said:
00:18:39.45\00:18:40.78
'In my vision at night I looked,
00:18:40.82\00:18:42.32
and there before me
00:18:42.35\00:18:43.69
were the four winds of heaven
churning up the great sea.
00:18:43.72\00:18:48.29
Four great beasts, each
different from the others,
00:18:48.32\00:18:51.59
came up out of the sea."
00:18:51.63\00:18:56.97
Now, in this vision,
00:18:57.00\00:18:58.73
he sees the sea
lashed into fury.
00:18:58.77\00:19:01.94
And then he sees
these four great beasts
00:19:01.97\00:19:04.17
which are described
right here in Daniel Chapter 7.
00:19:04.21\00:19:09.44
The first is a lion,
00:19:09.48\00:19:11.85
and it has the
wings of an eagle.
00:19:11.88\00:19:14.28
The second is a bear
with three ribs in his mouth.
00:19:14.32\00:19:18.55
The third is a
leopard that has four wings.
00:19:18.59\00:19:22.22
You won't see these
guys in your local zoo.
00:19:22.26\00:19:26.06
And the fourth is
a tremendous monster.
00:19:26.09\00:19:30.00
This monster comes up in
great power and great fury,
00:19:30.03\00:19:35.30
and it's trampling
underfoot the whole wide world.
00:19:35.34\00:19:39.07
But here you've
got the lion, the bear,
00:19:39.11\00:19:40.64
the leopard, the monster.
00:19:40.68\00:19:42.71
Then the monster's got 10 horns.
00:19:42.74\00:19:46.05
And then you got a little horn
00:19:46.08\00:19:48.02
that comes up
among the 10 horns,
00:19:48.05\00:19:49.98
overthrows three horns.
00:19:50.02\00:19:53.05
He's the Antichrist.
00:19:53.09\00:19:55.92
Then he rules the world
for more than 1000 years.
00:19:55.96\00:19:59.46
And then finally,
there is Judgment Day.
00:19:59.49\00:20:03.16
Now, listen carefully.
00:20:03.20\00:20:06.40
This is a repeat
00:20:06.43\00:20:11.14
of the vision
00:20:11.17\00:20:13.34
or the prophecy
of Daniel Chapter 2.
00:20:13.38\00:20:18.05
The great metal man,
head of gold, chest of silver,
00:20:18.08\00:20:20.68
belly and thighs of
bronze, you know it all,
00:20:20.72\00:20:22.62
legs of iron, feet part
of iron and part of clay,
00:20:22.65\00:20:25.32
then comes the great big stone.
00:20:25.35\00:20:27.89
This is a repeat,
00:20:27.92\00:20:29.26
I don't have time
to go into the details.
00:20:29.29\00:20:31.26
But the lion,
00:20:31.29\00:20:33.09
like the head is Babylon,
00:20:33.13\00:20:35.50
the bear is Medo-Persia,
00:20:35.53\00:20:38.63
the leopard is Greece
under Alexander the Great.
00:20:38.67\00:20:42.74
The four heads represent
00:20:42.77\00:20:44.34
the breakup of the
Kingdom of Alexander
00:20:44.37\00:20:48.51
into those four kingdoms
00:20:48.54\00:20:50.48
under Cassander, Lysimachus,
Seleucus, and Ptolemy.
00:20:50.51\00:20:53.98
Don't have time to
go into that stuff.
00:20:54.02\00:20:55.78
That is history.
00:20:55.82\00:20:57.85
Then the great awful
beast is the Roman Empire,
00:20:57.89\00:21:03.19
the legs of iron, do you get it?
00:21:03.22\00:21:06.53
Well, millions of
people around the world
00:21:06.56\00:21:08.36
have come to my meetings of God.
00:21:08.40\00:21:09.93
I put these things
up on giant screens,
00:21:09.96\00:21:12.27
and I've had so many,
00:21:12.30\00:21:13.70
I've had millions and
thousands and thousands,
00:21:13.74\00:21:16.60
tens of thousands of
communists and atheists,
00:21:16.64\00:21:18.91
they got it, you can
get it, I can get it.
00:21:18.94\00:21:22.68
So this terrible
dragon is the Roman Empire.
00:21:22.71\00:21:25.98
The 10 horns like the 10 toes
00:21:26.01\00:21:29.58
represent the
breakup of the Roman Empire
00:21:29.62\00:21:32.89
into the kingdoms
and the states of Europe.
00:21:32.92\00:21:36.42
And the little king
who comes up among them,
00:21:36.46\00:21:39.86
that's the little horn.
00:21:39.89\00:21:41.40
The Bible says
00:21:41.43\00:21:42.76
the little horn is another king.
00:21:42.80\00:21:44.50
That's the Antichrist.
00:21:44.53\00:21:47.54
You want to know who he is?
00:21:47.57\00:21:51.64
Why is the separation of
church and state important?
00:21:51.67\00:21:55.61
Let me try to give
00:21:58.65\00:22:00.28
a somewhat adequate explanation
to that great question.
00:22:00.32\00:22:03.59
You had Babylon
followed by Medo-Persia,
00:22:06.65\00:22:08.76
followed by Greece
00:22:08.79\00:22:10.13
that broke up,
Cassander, Lysimachus,
00:22:10.16\00:22:12.36
Seleucus, and Ptolemy,
all that historical stuff.
00:22:12.39\00:22:16.60
Then you have the
Empire of the Caesars,
00:22:16.63\00:22:19.13
the iron monarchy of Rome.
00:22:19.17\00:22:20.50
That's the great dragon
beast of Daniel Chapter 7,
00:22:20.54\00:22:23.34
the legs of iron
of Daniel Chapter 2.
00:22:23.37\00:22:26.17
Are these very toughs,
00:22:26.21\00:22:27.54
no, these are
profound, amazing truths
00:22:27.58\00:22:30.15
that are shown to
be true by history.
00:22:30.18\00:22:32.58
We're dealing here
with a divine signs.
00:22:32.61\00:22:36.79
Then you have the
kingdoms of Europe,
00:22:36.82\00:22:38.19
represented by the 10
toes of Daniel Chapter 2,
00:22:38.22\00:22:40.89
the great metal man,
00:22:40.92\00:22:42.39
but represented by the
10 horns on the dragon beast
00:22:42.42\00:22:45.96
of Daniel chapter 7.
00:22:45.99\00:22:48.56
Then there's a stirring,
and up comes another king,
00:22:48.60\00:22:52.03
because these 10
horns represent 10 kings,
00:22:52.07\00:22:54.70
the Bible says it.
00:22:54.74\00:22:56.07
It actually says that
these 10 horns are 10 kings,
00:22:56.10\00:22:58.97
but another king
will come after them.
00:22:59.01\00:23:00.71
I can read it to
you here in Daniel 7.
00:23:00.74\00:23:04.65
Now, between
around 300 and 500 AD,
00:23:04.68\00:23:08.15
another power came
on the European scene.
00:23:08.18\00:23:12.82
It was another Caesar.
00:23:12.85\00:23:14.22
Oh, he was another Caesar.
00:23:14.26\00:23:16.76
We have here the development
of the church state system
00:23:16.79\00:23:22.56
of the Dark Ages.
00:23:22.60\00:23:24.97
This is referring
to the great church
00:23:25.00\00:23:28.90
that became a
coalition of church in power.
00:23:28.94\00:23:31.77
That is the very
essence of Antichrist.
00:23:31.81\00:23:35.88
I know many of my friends
believe it'd be a great thing
00:23:35.91\00:23:38.65
if we could
have church and state
00:23:38.68\00:23:40.25
united together again.
00:23:40.28\00:23:41.78
Hey, you don't know
00:23:41.82\00:23:43.55
what you're
talking about friend.
00:23:43.59\00:23:46.22
Because when church and
state were united in Europe,
00:23:46.25\00:23:50.36
for around 1000 years,
there was bloody persecution.
00:23:50.39\00:23:54.80
And some would say
00:23:54.83\00:23:56.16
millions of
people were put to death.
00:23:56.20\00:23:59.70
Ever heard of the
Spanish Inquisition?
00:23:59.73\00:24:02.64
Hey, I've shown these
pictures around the world.
00:24:02.67\00:24:06.04
The Inquisition,
who was running it?
00:24:06.07\00:24:09.51
The so-called Christian Church.
00:24:09.54\00:24:13.35
Was it really
the Christian church?
00:24:13.38\00:24:15.22
No.
00:24:15.25\00:24:17.09
It was a counterfeit, a
big political organization.
00:24:17.12\00:24:21.12
Whenever you've got
church and state joined together
00:24:21.16\00:24:24.23
enforcing religious
laws and persecuting people,
00:24:24.26\00:24:28.53
there you got the essence
and the soul of Antichrist.
00:24:28.56\00:24:33.20
That's why I believe so much
in the American Constitution
00:24:33.23\00:24:37.34
that says, church and state
00:24:37.37\00:24:39.41
must not be joined together.
00:24:39.44\00:24:43.58
Think about it.
00:24:43.61\00:24:46.11
Daniel 2, the
history of the world.
00:24:46.15\00:24:47.72
Daniel 7, the
history of the world,
00:24:47.75\00:24:50.62
the history of Europe.
00:24:50.65\00:24:52.79
Then you have the
great stone that comes.
00:24:52.82\00:24:57.16
Then in Daniel 7
have Great Judgment Day.
00:24:57.19\00:25:02.50
Every word, listen carefully,
00:25:02.53\00:25:05.03
every word these
prophecies has come to pass.
00:25:05.07\00:25:10.21
That is why the atheists
00:25:10.24\00:25:12.01
in Russia,
Ukraine and other places
00:25:12.04\00:25:14.04
have said to me,
00:25:14.08\00:25:15.41
we can no longer
stay in unbelief.
00:25:15.44\00:25:19.98
We now believe
there's a living God.
00:25:20.02\00:25:22.82
And I've told
them, well, they are.
00:25:22.85\00:25:24.45
If that is so,
00:25:24.49\00:25:25.82
that's the best
news you've ever had,
00:25:25.85\00:25:29.02
because the best is yet to be.
00:25:29.06\00:25:30.89
You know where you came
from, you know why you're here,
00:25:30.93\00:25:33.40
you came from the hand of God.
00:25:33.43\00:25:34.90
And you know,
00:25:34.93\00:25:36.33
there's a
wonderful new world coming.
00:25:36.36\00:25:39.83
And I have said to
them over and over again,
00:25:39.87\00:25:42.50
as I say to you,
00:25:42.54\00:25:44.54
accept the good news,
00:25:44.57\00:25:46.61
and believe in the
God who believes in you.
00:25:46.64\00:25:51.05
Jesus said,
00:26:06.06\00:26:07.40
"All authority
has been given to Me
00:26:07.43\00:26:09.33
in heaven and on earth.
00:26:09.36\00:26:11.60
Go therefore,
00:26:11.63\00:26:12.97
and make disciples
of all the nations,
00:26:13.00\00:26:16.07
baptizing them in
the name of the Father,
00:26:16.10\00:26:18.61
and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit."
