Another year has begun, 00:00:01.36\00:00:02.86 a year that does not have to be the same 00:00:02.90\00:00:04.87 as the previous one. 00:00:04.90\00:00:06.23 A year loaded with new opportunities 00:00:06.27\00:00:08.64 to renew strength, desires, 00:00:08.67\00:00:10.74 and even redirect your plans. 00:00:10.77\00:00:13.01 Even think about new and different nuances. 00:00:13.04\00:00:16.38 You have in your hands 00:00:16.41\00:00:17.88 the possibility of doing things better. 00:00:17.91\00:00:20.35 You have a diary 00:00:20.38\00:00:21.72 with 365 blank pages before you. 00:00:21.75\00:00:24.55 Create and write a new story. 00:00:24.59\00:00:27.26 Happy New Year! 00:00:27.29\00:00:28.62 The truth we once understood is now easily discarded 00:00:32.06\00:00:36.40 by political correctness. 00:00:36.43\00:00:38.70 This is the post-truth era. 00:00:38.73\00:00:41.94 The real truth does not link church and state. 00:00:41.97\00:00:46.34 In this program, 00:00:46.37\00:00:47.74 Pastor John Carter tells us the truth 00:00:47.78\00:00:51.25 based on the Holy Scriptures. 00:00:51.28\00:00:53.55 Biblical principles 00:00:53.58\00:00:55.12 were the foundation of American society. 00:00:55.15\00:00:58.12 Jesus said, "You will know the truth 00:00:58.15\00:01:01.02 and the truth shall set you free." 00:01:01.06\00:01:04.03 Now, here is John Carter to explain 00:01:04.06\00:01:06.80 the aims of the papacy. 00:01:06.83\00:01:08.80 Hello, friend, welcome today to the Carter Report. 00:01:19.54\00:01:24.08 We get many, many letters, 00:01:24.11\00:01:26.15 and I try to answer as many letters as come in. 00:01:26.18\00:01:30.12 Now this is a very different letter. 00:01:30.15\00:01:33.59 It's a very important letter and therefore, 00:01:33.62\00:01:37.33 by the grace of God I plan to answer it. 00:01:37.36\00:01:41.63 Before I do so, let me say this. 00:01:41.66\00:01:43.67 God has got a very big family. 00:01:50.14\00:01:53.48 He's got in his family lots of Roman Catholics, 00:01:53.51\00:01:56.54 lots of Protestants. 00:01:56.58\00:01:58.21 We could go on and on. 00:01:58.25\00:02:01.88 So let's get to the letter. 00:02:01.92\00:02:04.22 This letter is called The Bob Letter. 00:02:04.25\00:02:09.99 I'm not going to tell you the last name of Bob, 00:02:10.03\00:02:13.36 but he lives in California. 00:02:13.40\00:02:15.20 And Bob has written to me, he says, 00:02:15.23\00:02:19.60 "I hope all is well with you and Beverley. 00:02:19.63\00:02:23.24 I'm not sure if you've noticed 00:02:23.27\00:02:24.71 what is going on in Scotland and Europe right now." 00:02:24.74\00:02:28.68 But actually Bob, 00:02:28.71\00:02:30.55 I do look at television on occasions 00:02:30.58\00:02:33.05 and I'm not actually living 00:02:33.08\00:02:34.95 under a rock in Australia, 00:02:34.98\00:02:37.89 but I know what you're talking about. 00:02:37.92\00:02:40.02 "As I write to you, 00:02:40.06\00:02:41.39 there is a conference forming in Scotland 00:02:41.42\00:02:43.22 with all the world leaders to discuss the climate. 00:02:43.26\00:02:47.53 The pope has stated that he will attend the conference 00:02:47.56\00:02:50.27 and present his answer for the climate. 00:02:50.30\00:02:54.14 His proposal is to establish a worldwide day of rest 00:02:54.17\00:02:59.57 to lower the carbon emissions, 00:02:59.61\00:03:01.94 and of course this day would be Sunday. 00:03:01.98\00:03:06.82 Although this may help the environment somewhat, 00:03:06.85\00:03:10.49 its real purpose is to get the world leaders to conform 00:03:10.52\00:03:14.66 with the Roman Catholic Church and the pope. 00:03:14.69\00:03:20.50 America currently has a leader that has no backbone, 00:03:20.53\00:03:24.10 and is Catholic." 00:03:24.13\00:03:26.23 Now, ladies and gentlemen, 00:03:26.27\00:03:28.97 these are not my words. 00:03:29.00\00:03:30.34 I'm simply reading the letter from Bob in California. 00:03:30.37\00:03:35.61 "So he will certainly, 00:03:35.64\00:03:38.28 President Biden will certainly bow to the pope 00:03:38.31\00:03:41.78 and is also obligated to do so 00:03:41.82\00:03:45.12 because he is Catholic. 00:03:45.15\00:03:48.99 John, could this be the beginning 00:03:49.02\00:03:51.53 of the mark of the beast? 00:03:51.56\00:03:54.30 How clever would this be for the pope 00:03:54.33\00:03:56.97 to take this opportunity to advance his agenda? 00:03:57.00\00:04:01.90 What are your thoughts about this? 00:04:01.94\00:04:03.47 Best regards, 00:04:03.51\00:04:05.44 Bob in California." 00:04:05.47\00:04:10.75 Now, Bob, and ladies and gentlemen, 00:04:10.78\00:04:15.35 as I answer this question 'cause this letter, 00:04:15.38\00:04:18.29 this is a very good letter and it needs to be answered. 00:04:18.32\00:04:22.32 I propose to have... 00:04:22.36\00:04:24.13 Wayne asked me lots and lots of other questions. 00:04:24.16\00:04:27.83 And as I answer those questions, 00:04:27.86\00:04:30.57 I hope that I'll answer this question, 00:04:30.60\00:04:33.23 the question of Bob's letter. 00:04:33.27\00:04:35.80 "What is post-truth?" 00:04:38.81\00:04:40.81 Well, post-truth is very crazy idea 00:04:44.28\00:04:49.25 that every person has his own personal truth. 00:04:49.28\00:04:53.79 Is it crazy? 00:04:53.82\00:04:55.16 Yes, it's crazy but it's believed today, 00:04:55.19\00:04:59.49 possibly by the majority of people, 00:04:59.53\00:05:02.66 even by the majority of people 00:05:02.70\00:05:04.87 who call themselves Christians. 00:05:04.90\00:05:08.30 Of course, it goes against the real truth. 00:05:08.34\00:05:13.31 Jesus said... 00:05:13.34\00:05:15.78 This is tremendously important. 00:05:15.81\00:05:17.65 Jesus said, "You will know the truth 00:05:17.68\00:05:20.92 and the truth will make you free." 00:05:20.95\00:05:24.89 You can't have your truth, I can't have my truth. 00:05:24.92\00:05:28.46 We don't have our personal dominion over truth. 00:05:28.49\00:05:33.33 I can have my opinion. 00:05:33.36\00:05:35.06 You can have your opinion, 00:05:35.10\00:05:36.63 but not all opinions are the same. 00:05:36.67\00:05:39.37 There is a truth 00:05:39.40\00:05:42.70 and it should be our souls' endeavor 00:05:42.74\00:05:45.51 to discover 00:05:45.54\00:05:47.38 and to obey the truth. 00:05:47.41\00:05:52.95 "Why is understanding Bible prophecy so important?" 00:05:52.98\00:05:57.42 I'm reading a text out of 1 Peter, 00:06:01.06\00:06:04.39 no actually, 2 Peter, 00:06:04.43\00:06:06.93 and it's 1:19, 00:06:06.96\00:06:11.33 and it talks about truth, 00:06:11.37\00:06:13.94 and it talks about prophetic truth. 00:06:13.97\00:06:16.67 And Peter, whom our beloved friends 00:06:16.71\00:06:19.24 in the Roman Catholic Church 00:06:19.27\00:06:20.61 declare to be the first pope. 00:06:20.64\00:06:24.18 Peter said these words. 00:06:24.21\00:06:26.11 "And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, 00:06:26.15\00:06:29.45 which you do well to heed as a light 00:06:29.48\00:06:33.89 that shines in a dark place, 00:06:33.92\00:06:36.96 until the day dawns 00:06:36.99\00:06:39.63 and the morning star rises in your hearts." 00:06:39.66\00:06:43.40 Peter said, and as I mentioned before our Catholic friends say 00:06:43.43\00:06:47.74 that Peter was the first pope. 00:06:47.77\00:06:51.17 Peter said that prophecy is like a light 00:06:51.21\00:06:54.68 that shines in a dark place. 00:06:54.71\00:06:58.21 Now, ladies and gentlemen, my friends, 00:06:58.25\00:07:00.25 we are living today in a new Dark Age. 00:07:00.28\00:07:05.75 We're living in the age of post-truth 00:07:05.79\00:07:08.26 where anything goes, 00:07:08.29\00:07:09.79 where up is down and left is right. 00:07:09.82\00:07:14.36 Peter said, "Prophecy is like a light 00:07:14.40\00:07:17.50 that shines in a dark place." 00:07:17.53\00:07:21.30 And presently, we're staying here in Australia 00:07:21.34\00:07:23.94 because of COVID. 00:07:23.97\00:07:25.31 We have a house here in Australia. 00:07:25.34\00:07:27.64 It's in a place, 00:07:27.68\00:07:29.01 a beautiful place south of the Gold Coast. 00:07:29.04\00:07:32.11 It's out in the bush, out in the forest. 00:07:32.15\00:07:35.78 It has many, many wonderful blessings. 00:07:35.82\00:07:38.85 But there's one thing it has 00:07:38.89\00:07:40.29 that I don't consider to be a blessing at all. 00:07:40.32\00:07:43.46 It has brown snakes. 00:07:43.49\00:07:49.43 To be more correct, it has the Eastern brown snake, 00:07:49.46\00:07:53.84 which is the second most deadly snake 00:07:53.87\00:07:56.71 on planet Earth. 00:07:56.74\00:08:00.51 The worst snake in the world, 00:08:00.54\00:08:01.98 the most deadly snake is the fierce snake. 00:08:02.01\00:08:06.58 The Inland taipan, 00:08:06.61\00:08:08.45 the terrible snake the most deadly snake, 00:08:08.48\00:08:11.29 most poisonous. 00:08:11.32\00:08:12.92 But on my property here in Australia, 00:08:12.95\00:08:15.22 we have the Eastern brown. 00:08:15.26\00:08:18.53 There's one thing you don't do. 00:08:18.56\00:08:20.03 You don't walk around here at nighttime, 00:08:20.06\00:08:22.20 especially in summer with no shoes on 00:08:22.23\00:08:25.47 without a flashlight. 00:08:25.50\00:08:27.90 If you get bitten by one of these little monsters 00:08:27.94\00:08:30.61 and sometimes they grow two meters long, 00:08:30.64\00:08:34.78 it could well be curtains. 00:08:34.81\00:08:37.68 You need light in a dark place. 00:08:37.71\00:08:41.05 Bible prophecy is like a light 00:08:41.08\00:08:43.82 shining in the darkness 00:08:43.85\00:08:47.39 of post-truth age. 00:08:47.42\00:08:49.02 "Does the USA have an ambassador 00:08:52.23\00:08:54.86 to the Vatican, 00:08:54.90\00:08:56.40 and does this conflict with the separation 00:08:56.43\00:08:59.00 of church and state? 00:08:59.03\00:09:02.94 Yes. 00:09:02.97\00:09:04.31 United States of America 00:09:04.34\00:09:05.71 which has been for many, many years, 00:09:05.74\00:09:08.51 the bastion of Protestantism 00:09:08.54\00:09:10.95 has an ambassador to the Vatican, 00:09:10.98\00:09:14.12 to what is called the Holy See. 00:09:14.15\00:09:18.92 In modern times or more recent times, 00:09:18.95\00:09:21.42 it started under the President that the great President, 00:09:21.46\00:09:25.39 the Republican President, Ronald Reagan. 00:09:25.43\00:09:29.26 Now, he was very, very friendly with Pope John Paul. 00:09:29.30\00:09:34.67 He was a great pope, 00:09:34.70\00:09:36.64 John Paul II. 00:09:36.67\00:09:40.98 And they entered into a secret alliance 00:09:41.01\00:09:44.45 to bring down the totalitarian system 00:09:44.48\00:09:48.48 of communism. 00:09:48.52\00:09:50.39 And, of course, Pope Paul came from Poland, 00:09:50.42\00:09:53.29 and he was no friend of communism. 00:09:53.32\00:09:57.26 Since then, George H.W. Bush, 00:09:57.29\00:10:01.60 Bill Clinton, George Bush W. Bush, 00:10:01.63\00:10:04.77 Barack Obama, Donald Trump, 00:10:04.80\00:10:07.90 and our present President, 00:10:07.94\00:10:11.24 President Joe Biden 00:10:11.27\00:10:13.01 have all appointed ambassadors 00:10:13.04\00:10:17.35 to the Roman Catholic Church, 00:10:17.38\00:10:19.48 to the Holy See. 00:10:19.51\00:10:22.02 But you may say, 00:10:22.05\00:10:23.39 "I find this to be somewhat incredible. 00:10:23.42\00:10:25.75 Why would they do this?" 00:10:25.79\00:10:28.86 Because the Vatican is a theocracy. 00:10:28.89\00:10:34.50 It is a union of church and state. 00:10:34.53\00:10:39.60 It is its own nation. 00:10:39.63\00:10:44.21 And you ask me the question, 00:10:44.24\00:10:46.01 "Is this a violation of the separation 00:10:46.04\00:10:49.88 of church and state?" 00:10:49.91\00:10:51.25 Of course, it is. 00:10:55.08\00:10:57.05 But America, my friend, is losing the faith 00:10:57.09\00:11:01.26 of the Protestant reformers. 00:11:01.29\00:11:04.26 And America is going into a time 00:11:04.29\00:11:07.80 of great spiritual darkness. 00:11:07.83\00:11:12.03 Remember, when Pope Francis visited 00:11:12.07\00:11:15.07 the United States of America, 00:11:15.10\00:11:17.04 and he spoke to a joint Congress 00:11:17.07\00:11:20.91 of the United States. 00:11:20.94\00:11:23.11 Did you see the reception he got? 00:11:23.14\00:11:26.95 The Protestants and the Catholics standing up 00:11:26.98\00:11:29.92 and shouting themselves hoarse to honor the pope from Rome. 00:11:29.95\00:11:35.79 Was it a violation of church and state? 00:11:35.82\00:11:38.13 Of course, 00:11:38.16\00:11:41.86 and listen carefully to this. 00:11:41.90\00:11:44.97 Today, many of my Protestant friends 00:11:45.00\00:11:47.94 believe in the concept of theocracy. 00:11:47.97\00:11:51.31 You say, "Now you've lost me." 00:11:51.34\00:11:52.67 Now, what's this theocracy business? 00:11:52.71\00:11:55.84 A theocracy is the union 00:11:55.88\00:11:59.28 of church and state, 00:11:59.31\00:12:02.02 like they had in the Old Testament. 00:12:02.05\00:12:05.65 In the early days of Christianity 00:12:05.69\00:12:07.46 there was a great theologian by the name 00:12:07.49\00:12:09.32 of St. Augustine or Augustine. 00:12:09.36\00:12:13.23 And he came up 00:12:13.26\00:12:14.60 with the Christian idea of theocracy, 00:12:14.63\00:12:18.40 and so that the church would control the state, 00:12:18.43\00:12:22.10 do away with evil 00:12:22.14\00:12:24.01 and bring in the kingdom of God by force. 00:12:24.04\00:12:29.24 That's what many Protestants today, 00:12:29.28\00:12:31.68 in the United States of America, 00:12:31.71\00:12:34.32 are trying to do. 00:12:34.35\00:12:36.48 And when they do this, my friend, 00:12:36.52\00:12:39.22 they will set up the reign of Antichrist. 00:12:39.25\00:12:43.29 "How do you distinguish between Roman Catholicism 00:12:46.36\00:12:50.33 and individual Catholics?" 00:12:50.37\00:12:51.93 Let me make this ever so plain. 00:12:55.27\00:12:59.44 I have no quarrel with Roman Catholics. 00:12:59.47\00:13:03.11 I love Roman Catholics. 00:13:03.14\00:13:05.85 Today, I'm not talking about Roman Catholics. 00:13:05.88\00:13:09.55 Bless your heart. 00:13:09.58\00:13:10.92 My father was a Roman Catholic. 00:13:10.95\00:13:13.92 Most of my relatives 00:13:13.96\00:13:16.02 were and still are Roman Catholics. 00:13:16.06\00:13:19.63 Except for the grace of God and the providence of God, 00:13:19.66\00:13:24.07 I could have been 00:13:24.10\00:13:25.70 a Roman Catholic priest. 00:13:25.73\00:13:30.44 So I have no quarrel with Roman Catholics. 00:13:30.47\00:13:34.04 What we're talking today is about 00:13:34.08\00:13:37.21 the papal system and its teachings. 00:13:37.25\00:13:42.48 I've known some marvelous Catholics. 00:13:42.52\00:13:44.29 My father, as I mentioned, 00:13:44.32\00:13:46.82 was an earnest Roman Catholic. 00:13:46.86\00:13:49.99 And then I think of that great pope 00:13:50.03\00:13:51.59 whom I personally liked a great deal. 00:13:51.63\00:13:54.03 I just thought he was a nice person, 00:13:54.06\00:13:56.00 good Pope John. 00:13:56.03\00:13:59.03 We've got to make it very, very plain. 00:13:59.07\00:14:00.94 There are good and bad people in every religion, 00:14:00.97\00:14:05.61 including my own church, 00:14:05.64\00:14:08.98 good and bad people in your church. 00:14:09.01\00:14:10.71 Yes, of course. 00:14:10.75\00:14:12.38 Yes, there are good and bad people 00:14:12.41\00:14:15.62 in every church. 00:14:15.65\00:14:17.49 And I believe that the vast majority 00:14:17.52\00:14:19.95 of God's true children 00:14:19.99\00:14:22.06 are found in the Roman Catholic and some other churches. 00:14:22.09\00:14:25.66 Now that was said by a member of my church, 00:14:25.69\00:14:28.46 her name was Ellen White and we believe 00:14:28.50\00:14:30.97 that she had a special gift from God. 00:14:31.00\00:14:33.17 But let me read you a text now, 00:14:33.20\00:14:36.57 out of the Book of Revelation 00:14:36.60\00:14:40.51 18:2 and 4. 00:14:40.54\00:14:46.25 I want to make this ever so plain. 00:14:46.28\00:14:48.22 I don't want you to think 00:14:48.25\00:14:49.58 we're talking about Catholics today. 00:14:49.62\00:14:51.49 No, no, no. 00:14:51.52\00:14:52.85 Revelation 18:2 and 4, 00:14:52.89\00:14:55.16 "He cried mightily with a loud voice saying, 00:14:55.19\00:14:58.03 'Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, 00:14:58.06\00:15:01.03 and has become a dwelling place of demons, 00:15:01.06\00:15:03.53 a prison for every foul spirit, 00:15:03.57\00:15:06.57 and a cage for every unclean and hated bird." 00:15:06.60\00:15:11.34 This is talking about a vast system 00:15:11.37\00:15:15.34 of religious apostasy in the last days. 00:15:15.38\00:15:19.55 And then we come to verse 4, it says, 00:15:19.58\00:15:23.42 "And I heard another voice from heaven saying, 00:15:23.45\00:15:26.72 'Come out of her, my people, 00:15:26.76\00:15:30.53 lest you share in her sins, 00:15:30.56\00:15:33.53 and lest you receive of her plagues.'" 00:15:33.56\00:15:39.07 God says that He has His people 00:15:39.10\00:15:42.64 in this great system of religious deception 00:15:42.67\00:15:47.08 that is called Babylon. 00:15:47.11\00:15:49.41 "Is the papacy described 00:15:53.01\00:15:55.08 in the prophecies of the Bible?" 00:15:55.12\00:15:56.75 So the question is, Wayne, and it's a great question. 00:16:00.36\00:16:03.83 You got courage to ask it, Wayne. 00:16:03.86\00:16:07.16 Is the papacy described in the prophecies of the Bible? 00:16:07.20\00:16:12.33 Well, let me tell all my American friends, 00:16:12.37\00:16:14.47 especially my American friends 00:16:14.50\00:16:16.07 and also my other friends around the world. 00:16:16.10\00:16:19.71 But let me tell my Protestant friends 00:16:19.74\00:16:21.91 in America this great truth. 00:16:21.94\00:16:24.88 This great truth that the papacy 00:16:24.91\00:16:28.05 was described in the prophecies of the Bible 00:16:28.08\00:16:31.69 was held by all the early Americans, 00:16:31.72\00:16:34.19 all of the Puritans. 00:16:34.22\00:16:36.42 That's why they left the old world 00:16:36.46\00:16:38.13 to get away from the persecutions 00:16:38.16\00:16:40.86 of the Vatican, 00:16:40.90\00:16:42.30 the Holy See and the Church of Rome. 00:16:42.33\00:16:45.97 This idea was believed by the Baptists, 00:16:46.00\00:16:51.31 the Lutherans, the Anglicans, 00:16:51.34\00:16:55.34 the Episcopalians. 00:16:55.38\00:16:57.31 I can go on and certainly the Adventists. 00:16:57.35\00:17:00.68 They all believed that the papacy 00:17:00.72\00:17:02.85 was graphically described 00:17:02.88\00:17:05.92 in the prophecies of the Bible. 00:17:05.95\00:17:09.26 Let me read to you 00:17:09.29\00:17:10.63 from the Book of Daniel 7:8. 00:17:10.66\00:17:16.10 I don't have time to give you an exegesis of this 00:17:16.13\00:17:19.53 but that would be appropriate. 00:17:19.57\00:17:21.37 Daniel 7:8, "I was considering the horns, 00:17:21.40\00:17:27.18 and there was another horn, 00:17:27.21\00:17:29.04 a little one coming up among them, 00:17:29.08\00:17:31.68 before whom three of the first horns 00:17:31.71\00:17:33.62 were plucked up by the roots. 00:17:33.65\00:17:35.92 And there, in this horn, 00:17:35.95\00:17:37.69 were eyes like the eyes of a man, 00:17:37.72\00:17:40.62 and a mouth speaking pompous words." 00:17:40.66\00:17:45.56 This is the famous king. 00:17:45.59\00:17:49.90 Listen carefully, 00:17:49.93\00:17:52.13 who rises on the ruins of the Roman Empire. 00:17:52.17\00:17:57.51 Now, did you get this? 00:17:57.54\00:18:00.94 In Daniel Chapter 7, you have a picture of Babylon, 00:18:00.98\00:18:04.45 Medo-Persia, Greece, then the great Roman Empire. 00:18:04.48\00:18:08.62 Then you have the kingdoms and the states of Europe, 00:18:08.65\00:18:11.25 and then you have a religious king 00:18:11.29\00:18:13.89 that arises among the kingdoms of Europe. 00:18:13.92\00:18:18.33 Every Protestant commentator 00:18:18.36\00:18:20.73 until recently said that this was the papacy. 00:18:20.76\00:18:24.43 Not Roman Catholic people but the papacy. 00:18:24.47\00:18:28.30 The papacy has a system 00:18:28.34\00:18:31.64 of oppression and deception. 00:18:31.67\00:18:36.88 Now, you must understand this 00:18:36.91\00:18:42.15 that during the Dark Ages, 00:18:42.18\00:18:43.89 the Roman Catholic Church persecuted people 00:18:43.92\00:18:46.25 by the millions. 00:18:46.29\00:18:48.59 And probably most of the people 00:18:48.62\00:18:50.36 who were persecuted back in the Dark Ages 00:18:50.39\00:18:53.90 were Roman Catholics. 00:18:53.93\00:18:57.40 Martin Luther, who started the Protestant Reformation 00:18:57.43\00:19:01.44 was a Roman Catholic priest. 00:19:01.47\00:19:04.97 So we're not talking about the people, 00:19:05.01\00:19:07.51 but we are talking 00:19:07.54\00:19:08.98 about a system of deception. 00:19:09.01\00:19:13.98 Now, the great commentator Leopold 00:19:14.02\00:19:16.92 says these words. 00:19:16.95\00:19:20.02 Let me read them to you. 00:19:20.06\00:19:23.86 "We also hold that in stating that the pope 00:19:23.89\00:19:27.10 is the Antichrist. 00:19:27.13\00:19:30.70 The Lutheran confessions were correct. 00:19:30.73\00:19:36.27 Much as some men have derided and belittled that view. 00:19:36.30\00:19:40.98 Such belittling grows out of forgetting 00:19:41.01\00:19:45.61 how thoroughly 00:19:45.65\00:19:47.22 the reformers understood the papacy." 00:19:47.25\00:19:52.55 Then he says this, 00:19:52.59\00:19:55.09 "Present day shallowness of understanding 00:19:55.12\00:19:58.79 in this respect leads to shallowness 00:19:58.83\00:20:02.93 of interpretation." 00:20:02.96\00:20:06.77 Now, today, we're living in a time of ignorance 00:20:06.80\00:20:10.37 and a time of propaganda. 00:20:10.41\00:20:14.28 And the vast majority of people who go to church, 00:20:14.31\00:20:17.08 have no idea what the churches used to teach. 00:20:17.11\00:20:21.42 All of the great Protestant reformers, 00:20:21.45\00:20:25.25 many of the great Roman Catholic scholars 00:20:25.29\00:20:27.52 taught that the power of Daniel 7:8, 00:20:27.56\00:20:31.39 this king who arose 00:20:31.43\00:20:33.50 on the ruins of the Roman Empire 00:20:33.53\00:20:35.93 was the Vatican, 00:20:35.96\00:20:39.50 the Pope of Rome. 00:20:39.53\00:20:40.87 "Does the papacy have an influence 00:20:43.57\00:20:45.91 in American politics?" 00:20:45.94\00:20:47.58 Does the papacy 00:20:51.98\00:20:53.48 have an influence in American politics? 00:20:53.52\00:20:57.12 The papacy runs American politics. 00:20:57.15\00:21:00.02 Many of the senators and the congressmen 00:21:03.96\00:21:06.46 have been trained by the Jesuits. 00:21:06.49\00:21:10.27 Go online and check it out, my friend. 00:21:10.30\00:21:15.10 The Roman Catholic Church 00:21:15.14\00:21:16.97 has a tremendous influence 00:21:17.01\00:21:21.31 in American politics. 00:21:21.34\00:21:23.91 And listen to this, 00:21:23.95\00:21:26.95 the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican, 00:21:26.98\00:21:29.35 probably has a tremendous influence 00:21:29.38\00:21:33.09 in your church as well. 00:21:33.12\00:21:35.22 "Who are the Jesuits?" 00:21:38.53\00:21:40.70 The Jesuits are a very interesting group 00:21:43.93\00:21:46.17 of people. 00:21:46.20\00:21:48.44 They started what was called the Counter-Reformation. 00:21:48.47\00:21:54.41 You see you have the Protestant Reformation 00:21:54.44\00:21:56.28 that gave birth to the great democracies, 00:21:56.31\00:21:59.35 Great Britain, United States of America, 00:21:59.38\00:22:02.28 all the great Protestant countries, 00:22:02.32\00:22:04.29 which became the lights of the world. 00:22:04.32\00:22:09.12 And then the Jesuits, 00:22:09.16\00:22:11.09 a group of Spanish scholars 00:22:11.13\00:22:14.03 devised a plan to bring down 00:22:14.06\00:22:16.90 the Protestant Reformation. 00:22:16.93\00:22:20.54 They ran this big council, 00:22:20.57\00:22:22.50 it was called the Council of Trent. 00:22:22.54\00:22:25.87 Have you ever heard of it? 00:22:25.91\00:22:28.74 The Council of Trent was to overthrow 00:22:28.78\00:22:31.88 the Protestant Reformation 00:22:31.91\00:22:34.22 and to bring back the worldwide domination 00:22:34.25\00:22:38.39 of the papacy. 00:22:38.42\00:22:41.29 Did you know that the present pope 00:22:41.32\00:22:45.89 that seems such a wonderful Christian man, 00:22:45.93\00:22:48.73 the present pope is a Jesuit priest?
