00:04 Welcome back to the "Liberty Insider."
00:06 Before the break with guest Greg Hamilton 00:09 we were getting at some 00:10 interesting territory referencing Revelation 00:14 and a little bit of history looking at this present pope 00:18 and his end time vision 00:22 and how that could sort of bring it about syncretistic 00:26 or great coming together of religions 00:30 and then perhaps turning on some minorities, right? 00:32 Yes. 00:33 And what I would like to focus on 00:35 in this last little segment 00:36 is pope's speech before Congress 00:41 because it will be significant to see-- 00:43 On every level this is very significant. 00:45 To see behind him, 00:47 saying behind him to stung Roman Catholics. 00:49 Senator Joseph Biden 00:51 and house majority leader John Boehner, 00:53 with Nancy Pelosi the minority leader of-- 00:56 in the front row seat 00:57 and six of the nine Supreme Court justices 01:01 is sitting right below him who are also Catholic. 01:04 And Roman Catholics 01:05 are the largest single religious block 01:07 in the house of the senate. 01:08 Now there is nothing wrong 01:11 constitutionally wrong with this. 01:13 In fact, it's a vindication of the American system 01:16 which says "No Religious Test" for public office. 01:18 But it's incredibly telling 01:20 in a once predominantly Protestant society 01:23 that is now so dominated by Roman Catholic public figures. 01:28 Something has changed. 01:29 Well, you mentioned something in the break 01:31 about Rick Santorum, tell us about that. 01:33 Well, when he ran for president last time 01:35 he shocked a lot of people 01:37 and he is a wonderful human being 01:40 and was very helpful on 01:41 some of the religious legislation 01:42 we were trying to get through. 01:44 But he stood up publicly as a Roman Catholic, 01:46 deeply committed Roman Catholic 01:48 and he said Protestantism is absent in America today. 01:52 You know, it's interesting I ran an article 01:53 when Pope Benedict XVI was first elected. 01:56 He wrote his first article for 01:58 the evangelical conservative Catholic magazine 02:01 here in United States called First Things. 02:03 It was January 2006 issue 02:05 and it was called the Discontents of Europe 02:07 but in there he talked about the image in Daniel 2, 02:11 Nebuchadnezzar's image in all the significances 02:13 of different world powers 02:15 and how basically that was significant 02:19 of vision of world peace 02:23 and world coming together when in fact, 02:25 the imagine actually represents is the opposite. 02:28 But then he went on to talk about-- 02:29 The stone cut out with name. Yes. 02:31 That's the only way-- 02:32 He didn't even bother to mention that in his article. 02:34 Which is the second coming of Christ. 02:35 Exactly. Exactly. 02:37 But the point of the article was he referred 02:39 to the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, 02:41 the rise of the nation state, 02:43 then he referred to the French Revolution 02:46 and even described it as a moral wound which-- 02:49 I mean, the Catholics understand Bible prophecy 02:51 to a certain degree, not fully but-- 02:53 Well, I think they understand it very well but-- 02:55 We don't even understand it. 02:57 They committed from a different perspective obviously. 02:58 Yes, different perspective 03:00 but in the article he talked about 03:02 his desire to see more illegal immigration 03:06 of those who are persecuted in Latin American counties 03:09 specifically in Mexico 03:11 to come to United States to find freedom, to find refuge 03:15 and to force more redistricting 03:19 for congressional leaders in Congress 03:22 which then gives Catholics 03:24 more and more control over Congress. 03:26 I mean, he stated this openly in his article 03:29 which is fascinating because it's obvious 03:31 that Rome has a plan for securing 03:35 through electoral processes here in United States, 03:40 Catholic leadership in Congress, 03:42 in the Supreme Court, in the White House. 03:45 How many Catholics do we have running 03:46 for the White House in 2006 think about it? 03:48 Jeb Bush one of the big star who is a Catholic. 03:53 And so-- 03:54 We way pass the John F. Kennedy scare. 03:58 And then you have-- Now it's the norm. 04:00 And then you have six Supreme Court justices 04:02 who are Catholics. 04:03 One of them little bit but five very conservative ones. 04:06 So you see more and more of a Catholic hegemony 04:11 and leadership taking place in the United States of America 04:14 that most people are now perceptive of. 04:17 Now some say 04:18 well, you are reading a conspiracy into that. 04:20 No, I'm not. It's a reality. 04:21 There is more evidence than you cited. 04:24 It's very obvious that the Roman Catholic Church 04:26 have put their, 04:28 their weight behind the case of the immigrants 04:30 and I've even written about it in Liberty 04:33 that its clearly has an electoral goal. 04:36 It just happens 04:38 that it's an element of human charity too 04:40 that help make some sense. 04:42 But there is a pay off for them behind it obviously 04:45 and it changes the demographics big time. 04:48 And in the most recent poll 04:50 nearly 70 percent of Americans 04:52 view the Catholic Church favorably 04:54 which is a huge reversal from the pedophiles scandals 04:56 that we talked about earlier. 04:57 Yeah, and all-- 04:59 there's many things in life I don't understand 05:00 but on religious liberty and all that we talk about 05:02 that's the one thing I can't get my head around. 05:06 The scandal is huge, it's not going away. 05:10 Almost every day there is more discovered 05:11 and yet simultaneously the prestige 05:14 of this organization is growing but I don't understand it. 05:17 Almost doesn't compute. 05:19 It took a person 05:20 and that was the College of Cardinals 05:22 who decided that the only way to reverse that is to elect 05:25 a very popular, win some, charismatic pope. 05:29 In Pope Francis they achieved that. 05:31 And I said not that I'm an expert of predicting 05:34 but I remember saying in this very program 05:37 three years ago I said, hey, you know, 05:40 this pope is probably gonna cause 05:42 the whole pedophiles scandal to be an ancient memory. 05:47 Yes and it does seem to be fading. 05:49 One thing in the little time we have left 05:51 I need to mention again as I have on this program, 05:54 I think when you are dealing with this pope in particular 05:59 and that the gender and the speed 06:01 that it's being processed at, you can't dismiss totally the-- 06:08 I'm trying to think how to characterize it, 06:10 prophecies will be the word I will use of Saint Malachy 06:13 supposedly from about the year 1099 06:16 or somewhere around there 06:18 I've read a bit more on it, it wasn't really discovered 06:20 until the year about 1500 and sum 06:22 which is suspicious kind of reformation is what I figure 06:25 but it was discovered in the secret Vatican archives 06:28 but I see more and more from reading Catholic sites 06:31 that there is some credibility given to his description 06:34 of every pope for the last, from 122 popes to the present 06:39 and the description on uncannily close 06:41 and this pope arguably is to be the last pope. 06:44 So whether or not the prophecy is valid is immaterial 06:47 but I wonder if its not sort of giving the sense of urgency. 06:52 You know, I don't buy into that I will tell you why. 06:54 It's been a Protestant sport every since Martin Luther, 06:58 Zwingli, Calvin to project that the next pope is the last pope. 07:02 You can read this in Le Roy Froom's 07:04 Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, volumes-- 07:05 I know but go to some catholic websites, 07:08 they are the ones talking about that not the Protestants. 07:09 No that's-- well, there is a lot of evidence to talk 07:11 about that referring to Revelation 17, 07:13 wherever I go-- 07:15 But they don't talk about Malachy. 07:17 Malachy has discussed a great length 07:19 on the Roman Catholic sites. 07:20 Right and I'm aware of that. 07:22 Who was it the, Raymond Flint that wrote that book 07:25 about the Catholic Church just a few years ago 07:28 saying that the last pope would usher in the anti-Christ. 07:35 And so there is all kinds of conspiracy theses out there. 07:36 Malachy says the last pope names him Peter, 07:39 which of course is not the present name. 07:41 He says, he runs over the church 07:42 at a time of great distress when the seven hills pass away. 07:46 Yes, that's interesting. 07:47 Well, we've been discussing the popularity 07:50 of Pope Francis I 07:53 and his attempt to review 07:56 the whole grand ecumenical movement 07:58 to unite the Catholic Church with all world religions. 08:02 In fact, political leaders looking to the Catholic Church 08:05 for answers to solve world crises and problems. 08:09 The path to world peace is through a coming together 08:14 of spirituality of religions 08:18 and as political leaders look to them for help 08:21 they are the ones that bring about the last says. 08:26 A few decades ago when Ronald Regan 08:28 as US president made comments 08:31 that we might be on the verge of Armageddon 08:33 or there was an evil entity erode in the world, 08:38 people sat up and paid notice 08:41 and of course it made a real difference 08:43 to how the US treated the Soviet Union. 08:45 In our era when a new pope starts to speak and divulge 08:51 the he perhaps thinks that we are at a point 08:54 where some apocalyptic anti-Christ maybe have brought. 08:58 We need to sit up and pay attention. 09:01 As never before the Vatican is playing a diplomatic role 09:05 and if he believes that what Revelation 09:09 and some apocalyptic prophecies are foretelling 09:12 is about to take place watch out 09:15 they maybe so fulfilling to illusion, 09:18 illusion or beliefs. 09:20 We will see which direction 09:22 this present pope's beliefs take him 09:25 and all Bible students would do well 09:27 to go back to Revelation and Daniel 09:30 and study these words for themselves 09:33 to know exactly what is predicted 09:35 not what some public official, even a church leader may say. 09:40 For Liberty Insider,
