[0:15] Speaker 1: Hank is president of the Christian Research Institute at CRII.
[0:19] Speaker 1: Our desire is to equip you to not only defend
[0:22] Speaker 1: the historic Christian faith, but become an apprentice of Jesus Christ,
[0:27] Speaker 1: because life and truth matter. To learn more or to
[0:31] Speaker 1: find resources to help you grow in grace, call eight

[0:48] Speaker 1: now here's Hank Hanagraph.
[0:50] Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Ready, I want to speak for
[0:52] Speaker 2: just a moment about unintended consequences before we go to
[0:55] Speaker 2: our callers. One of the unintended consequences of immigration to
[1:00] Speaker 2: the United States of America for me was experiencing racism.
[1:05] Speaker 2: Not the aryan super race variety that my family had
[1:09] Speaker 2: stood fast against during World War Two in Holland. This
[1:14] Speaker 2: time it was an American segregationist variety that postulated a
[1:20] Speaker 2: difference among human beings based on skin pigmentation. And I
[1:27] Speaker 2: still have memories of walking through an all black neighborhood
[1:33] Speaker 2: to an all white school and encountering a concept of
[1:38] Speaker 2: race completely foreign to my personal experience. And in that
[1:44] Speaker 2: process I developed friendships and specific friends for whom racism
[1:51] Speaker 2: was a day to day reality. It was in school
[1:58] Speaker 2: that I encountered a connection between the racism my parents
[2:03] Speaker 2: experienced during the war and the racism experienced by my
[2:08] Speaker 2: inner city friends. Both were equally animated by the exact
[2:16] Speaker 2: same idea, an intellectual revulsion that Harvard's scientist Ernst Meyer
[2:25] Speaker 2: once categorized as the most fundamental of all intellectual revolutions
[2:30] Speaker 2: in the history of humankind, and it has shaped the
[2:35] Speaker 2: worldview of hundreds of millions of people, one of them,
[2:40] Speaker 2: of course, Adolf Hitler, who consistently sought to make the
[2:45] Speaker 2: practices of Germany conform to the theory of evolution. So
[2:52] Speaker 2: what did we have here? We had reason devoid of revelation,
[2:58] Speaker 2: and that led the offovoted eighteenth century Scottish empiricist, a
[3:07] Speaker 2: philosopher named David Hume, to render blacks naturally inferior to whites. Negroes,
[3:20] Speaker 2: he said, never discovered any symptoms of ingenuity. While one
[3:28] Speaker 2: of them might at first appear erudite in the end,
[3:32] Speaker 2: he's only like a parrot who speaks a few words plainly.
[3:38] Speaker 2: And of course he wasn't alone. English naturalist Charles Darwin
[3:43] Speaker 2: reasoned inequality was a self evident truth, and therefore he
[3:51] Speaker 2: subtitled his magnum opus The Preservation of Favored Races in
[3:57] Speaker 2: the Struggle for Life. Now, when I say that, there
[4:01] Speaker 2: are all kinds of friends of Richard Dawkins, who is
[4:04] Speaker 2: an apologist for Charles Darwin, who say this is simply false.
[4:11] Speaker 2: It's a sophomoric understanding of the Darwinian struggle for existence
[4:16] Speaker 2: is a struggle between groups of individuals, the so called
[4:20] Speaker 2: selection fallacy. And he says it's unfortunate because it constantly
[4:26] Speaker 2: resurfaces an amateur misinterpretations of Darwinism, and even among some
[4:32] Speaker 2: professional biologists who should know better. Of course, where the
[4:36] Speaker 2: real slight of mind is is with Richard Dawkins, because
[4:42] Speaker 2: all you have to do is read the corpus of
[4:44] Speaker 2: Darwin's work to recognize that his preservation of favored races
[4:51] Speaker 2: in the Struggle for Life clearly involves races, not merely
[4:59] Speaker 2: individuals within races. For example, in the Descent of Man,
[5:05] Speaker 2: he writes at some future period not very distant, as
[5:09] Speaker 2: measured by centuries. The civilized races of man will almost
[5:15] Speaker 2: certainly exterminate and replace savage races throughout the world. At
[5:21] Speaker 2: the same time, the most human looking apes will no
[5:26] Speaker 2: doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider,
[5:32] Speaker 2: said Darwin, for it will intervene between man in a
[5:38] Speaker 2: more civilized state, as we may hope than the Caucasian
[5:42] Speaker 2: and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of
[5:46] Speaker 2: at present between the Negro, the Australia and the gorilla.
[5:53] Speaker 2: Now I'm making this stuff up. These are people who
[5:57] Speaker 2: shaped nineteenth century philosophia in nineteenth century science, and the
[6:03] Speaker 2: point I'm trying to make is simply this ideas have consequences,
[6:09] Speaker 2: and evolution has birthed its fair share of aberrations, Racism
[6:16] Speaker 2: among the most insidious of its progeny. Then the Christian worldview,
[6:23] Speaker 2: there is no room for racism. We are equal ontologically equal,
[6:32] Speaker 2: And if you can look at any other person, regardless
[6:36] Speaker 2: of their station in life, do not be proud, but
[6:40] Speaker 2: be willing to associate with people of low position, said Paul.
[6:46] Speaker 2: If you can look at any other person, regardless of
[6:49] Speaker 2: their station in life, regardless of their heritage, their economic
[6:55] Speaker 2: well being. If you can look at another person and
[6:59] Speaker 2: think of that person as inferior to you, you have
[7:02] Speaker 2: not embraced a Christian worldview. In a Christian worldview, there
[7:07] Speaker 2: is no place for racism. Well, we have a lot
[7:13] Speaker 2: of you hanging on. I've written about this in various places,
[7:16] Speaker 2: including the Complete Bible answer Book, Collector's Edition, The Face
[7:19] Speaker 2: that demonstrates the Farce of evolution. But this is a
[7:23] Speaker 2: subject that we need to come to grips with as
[7:25] Speaker 2: Christians want to go right to the phone lines. First
[7:27] Speaker 2: up as a lane. She's listening in cecil Ohio. Hyaline,
[7:32] Speaker 2: Hi there.
[7:32] Speaker 3: Thank you for taking my call, Hank. I'm an avid
[7:36] Speaker 3: listener of you. I recently heard Christ only knew Hebrew,
[7:41] Speaker 3: Arabic and a few words of Greek, and I I'd
[7:48] Speaker 3: like to hear your comment on that, if you would
[7:52] Speaker 3: place well, I mean.
[7:53] Speaker 2: It depends on whether Jesus Christ is thought of as
[7:57] Speaker 2: the anthropist, the god man and reading from the perspective
[8:01] Speaker 2: his humanity. From his humanity, he knew Aramaic. In fact,
[8:05] Speaker 2: when he spoke from the cross Eli Lama subuctany, My God,
[8:08] Speaker 2: My God, why hast thou forsaken me. He was speaking Aramic,
[8:12] Speaker 2: a new Greek, a new Hebrew. Maybe he knew some Latin.
[8:16] Speaker 2: But obviously, as God, he knew everything. So if you
[8:21] Speaker 2: speak of Jesus Christ from the perspective of his humanity,
[8:24] Speaker 2: he knew a limited number of languages. If we speak
[8:27] Speaker 2: about God from the perspective of his deity, he knows
[8:31] Speaker 2: all things. And remember that Jesus Christ voluntarily took on
[8:37] Speaker 2: the limitations of humanity without divesting himself of his single
[8:42] Speaker 2: attribute of deity. So Jesus Christ could operate from the
[8:46] Speaker 2: perspective of deity. Thus he could do the miraculous. But
[8:50] Speaker 2: he voluntarily took on the position of a servant. He
[8:54] Speaker 2: divested himself not, but he did subjugate those qualities of
[9:00] Speaker 2: divinity taking on the role of a servant.
[9:04] Speaker 3: Okay, okay, thank you so much.
[9:07] Speaker 2: You got it all right. Thanks for your call. We'll
[9:09] Speaker 2: go back to the phone lines. Doctor Rose, she's listening
[9:11] Speaker 2: on Charlotte, North Carolina.
[9:12] Speaker 1: Hi, Rose, Hi, and thank you for taking my call.
[9:16] Speaker 4: I have two questions for you. The first concerns the
[9:19] Speaker 4: Gospel of John chapter twenty, verse seventeen.
[9:22] Speaker 3: For Jesus tells Mary.
[9:24] Speaker 4: Magdalen not to touch him, for he had not yet
[9:26] Speaker 4: ascended to his father. And the second question, what's the
[9:30] Speaker 4: biblical interpretation of the words the son is eternally begotten
[9:35] Speaker 4: of the Father or by the Father.
[9:38] Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, Jesus Christ is the unique son of God.
[9:42] Speaker 2: We are all sons of God by adoption. Jesus Christ
[9:45] Speaker 2: is the unique son of God. And during his earthly sojourn,
[9:50] Speaker 2: when he spoke to Mary, he was communicating to her
[9:56] Speaker 2: in essence that she should not continue to cling to him,
[10:01] Speaker 2: but rather she should, as a woman, be a testimony.
[10:05] Speaker 2: And remember, if you look at the Synoptic Gospels, it
[10:07] Speaker 2: was women who were the first to testify to the
[10:10] Speaker 2: singularly most important event in all of Christianity, which is
[10:15] Speaker 2: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So stop clinging to me,
[10:18] Speaker 2: he said to Mary, but testify to my resurrection. So
[10:23] Speaker 2: I think this picks up from what the Synoptic Gospels
[10:26] Speaker 2: communicate with respect to a woman here being elevated to
[10:32] Speaker 2: the same status as a man in a society in
[10:35] Speaker 2: which women were at the very bottom, on the lowest
[10:40] Speaker 2: rung of the socioeconomic ladder. Jesus Christ is telling Mary,
[10:44] Speaker 2: don't cling to me, but testify to my resurrection. We'll
[10:49] Speaker 2: be right back with more.
[10:50] Speaker 1: If you were going into combat, what would be more important?
[10:54] Speaker 1: The number of those who were for you are the
[10:56] Speaker 1: number of those who were with you? Now apply that
[11:00] Speaker 1: question to today's battle for the hearts and minds of literally
[11:03] Speaker 1: millions of people at home and abroad. That's what makes
[11:07] Speaker 1: members of CRI's support teams so vital. They're not simply
[11:11] Speaker 1: for CRI's critical mission. They're standing with CRI each and
[11:16] Speaker 1: every day. If you want your voice and your values

[11:51] Speaker 1: Hank will be back right after this breaking the code.
[12:04] Speaker 1: If the Book of Revelation has become an international obsession,
[12:07] Speaker 1: the result has been rampant misreading of scripture, bad theology,
[12:11] Speaker 1: and even bad politics and foreign policy. In the Apocalypse Code,
[12:16] Speaker 1: find out what the Bible really says about the end
[12:18] Speaker 1: times and why it matters today. Hank Canagraph argues that
[12:22] Speaker 1: the key to understanding the Last Book of the Bible
[12:25] Speaker 1: is the other sixty five books of the Bible, not
[12:28] Speaker 1: current events or recent history. The Apocalypse Code offers sane
[12:32] Speaker 1: answers to some very controversial questions, such as what does
[12:36] Speaker 1: it mean to take the Book of Revelation literally? Who
[12:39] Speaker 1: are the Antichrist and the Great Horror of Babylon? And
[12:42] Speaker 1: what is the real meaning of six hundred and sixty six.

[13:01] Speaker 1: number of wolves surrounding the Christian flock is growing, and
[13:04] Speaker 1: they relish nothing more than Docile's sheep, utterly incapable of
[13:08] Speaker 1: defending themselves from militant secularists at home to militant Islamists abroad.
[13:14] Speaker 1: The assaults on Biblical Christianity are growing dangerously, but Christian
[13:19] Speaker 1: Research Institutes support team members aren't in favor of feeding
[13:22] Speaker 1: these wolves. Instead, each day they're making possible an array
[13:27] Speaker 1: of outreaches that defang these wolfpacks with solid arguments and

[15:12] Speaker 2: Thank you very watch for Randian. Back to the phone lines.
[15:13] Speaker 2: When I talk to Phil, he's listening on ogden utah I.
[15:17] Speaker 5: Phil, Hi, Hank, listen. I got a question for you, guys,
[15:22] Speaker 5: said as Jonah was three days and three nights in
[15:26] Speaker 5: the bellies of a great fish, so the center Man
[15:30] Speaker 5: would be three days and three nights in the earth.
[15:33] Speaker 5: So how does the church come up with three days
[15:37] Speaker 5: and three nights from Good Friday to Easter Sunday.
[15:42] Speaker 2: Yeah. In Jewish idiom, any part of the day counted
[15:46] Speaker 2: as a day night unit. So there's no.
[15:49] Speaker 5: Need even a time. You could only come up with
[15:52] Speaker 5: three days and two nights.
[15:54] Speaker 2: Well, that's the point. There's no need to literalistically demand
[15:58] Speaker 2: that seventy two hours be at And that is particularly
[16:02] Speaker 2: evident in light of Christ's own contention that he would
[16:06] Speaker 2: rise on the third day, not after the third day
[16:11] Speaker 2: and night had ended. And then if you look at
[16:14] Speaker 2: the Gospels, they unanimously declare that Jesus Christ died on
[16:19] Speaker 2: the Day of Preparation, which is Friday, the day leading
[16:23] Speaker 2: up to the beginning of the Sabbath at sundown. And
[16:27] Speaker 2: then the Gospels demonstrate unanimity regarding the discovery of Christ's
[16:33] Speaker 2: resurrection early in the morning on the day following the Sabbath,
[16:37] Speaker 2: in other words, on Sunday, the first day of the week.
[16:40] Speaker 2: So to suggest any other alternative is simply to suggest
[16:45] Speaker 2: something that flies in face of what the scripture writers
[16:49] Speaker 2: clearly communicate. So you have to look at an ancient,
[16:55] Speaker 2: culturally informed mode of oral and literary expression rather than
[17:01] Speaker 2: a literalistic interpretation. And then you see the harmony of
[17:06] Speaker 2: scripture that shines through brilliantly as opposed to being stuck
[17:12] Speaker 2: in some kind of a literalistic fabrication. I mean, what's
[17:15] Speaker 2: going on here is that Jesus rose on the third day,
[17:19] Speaker 2: not after three days. He died on Passover Day Friday,
[17:23] Speaker 2: to fulfill the conditions of being our passover Lamb. So
[17:26] Speaker 2: all that's in view in Jewish idiom here is part
[17:30] Speaker 2: of a day counting is a day he died on Friday,
[17:33] Speaker 2: he rose on Sunday, so Friday Saturday Sunday. I've written
[17:37] Speaker 2: about this in various places, including the Complete Bible answer
[17:39] Speaker 2: Book Collector's Edition, available through the Ministry of the Christian
[17:43] Speaker 2: Research Insity. Back of the phone lines, We'll talk next
[17:44] Speaker 2: to Phil. He's listening on Fayetteville, Arkansas.
[17:47] Speaker 6: I Phil, Hey, Hank, good afternoon, brother. How you doing good?
[17:51] Speaker 6: How are you doing well? My question is about as chacology.
[17:57] Speaker 6: I've never really focused a lot on it, for the
[18:00] Speaker 6: main reason is that, you know, when Jesus walked this earth,
[18:05] Speaker 6: the Pharisees at that time were certain that they knew
[18:09] Speaker 6: what the Messiah would look like, yet when he was
[18:11] Speaker 6: among them, they had no idea he was there. And
[18:14] Speaker 6: it's not really an excuse. I have somewhat of an escotology,
[18:17] Speaker 6: like I believe that the Church will experience at least
[18:20] Speaker 6: part of the tribulation period because of Jesus's words when
[18:24] Speaker 6: he said that if it was not for the alect's sake,
[18:27] Speaker 6: I believe in Matthew twenty four. I don't have my
[18:30] Speaker 6: Bible in front of me.
[18:32] Speaker 2: I'm in my car, but yeah, it is Matthew twenty four.
[18:35] Speaker 6: Okay, and so my question to you is how important
[18:40] Speaker 6: is it to have a firm strong eschatology.
[18:44] Speaker 2: Well, I think it's important to realize that eschatology is
[18:49] Speaker 2: the fiber that holds the hole of scripture together, because
[18:52] Speaker 2: in the beginning, humankind fell into lives of constant sin
[18:58] Speaker 2: terminated by death. And then the rest of the Bible
[19:01] Speaker 2: is God's unfolding plan of redemption, which culminates in a
[19:06] Speaker 2: new heaven and a new earth. No more death, morning,
[19:09] Speaker 2: crying or pain for the olderder things has passed away. Behold,
[19:13] Speaker 2: all things have become new. So I think that you
[19:16] Speaker 2: have to recognize the luster or the import of eschatology
[19:22] Speaker 2: as an overarching, congruent theme of scripture. But how things
[19:27] Speaker 2: work out in the end is a matter of debate
[19:32] Speaker 2: amongst Christians that love the Lord. So there are people
[19:37] Speaker 2: who hold to various eschatologies. And I've often said that
[19:40] Speaker 2: the timing of the tribulation or the meaning of the
[19:43] Speaker 2: millennium is something that we can debate vigorously, we ultimately
[19:46] Speaker 2: don't have to divide over. However, having said that, I
[19:50] Speaker 2: think that you have to read the text Matthew twenty
[19:53] Speaker 2: four in this case, in the sense in which it's intended.
[19:56] Speaker 2: What's going on, Well, Jesus has just pronounced Ichaba on
[20:00] Speaker 2: the temple, and he's walking away from the Temple, and
[20:04] Speaker 2: as he's walking away, his disciples come up to him.
[20:07] Speaker 2: They call his attention to its buildings, and he says,
[20:10] Speaker 2: do you see all these things? I tell you the truth,
[20:12] Speaker 2: Not one stone here will be left on another. Every
[20:16] Speaker 2: one will be thrown down. So he's now talking about
[20:20] Speaker 2: the Temple, that is the singular building that gives them
[20:26] Speaker 2: their sociological and spiritual significance, and he's saying it's going
[20:30] Speaker 2: to be utterly destroyed. So when they start asking him
[20:33] Speaker 2: questions about that, do you think that they have in
[20:37] Speaker 2: view the end of the world or do you think
[20:39] Speaker 2: that they might have in view what's going to happen
[20:41] Speaker 2: when the Temple and Jerusalem are destroyed. The obvious answer
[20:45] Speaker 2: that question is they have in view the very thing
[20:49] Speaker 2: that Jesus Christ just said. The Temple's going to be destroyed,
[20:52] Speaker 2: Jerusalem's going to be destroyed, And they wonder when is
[20:54] Speaker 2: this going to happen? What will be the sign of
[20:56] Speaker 2: your coming in judgment on Jerusalem in the tenth and
[21:00] Speaker 2: the end of the Age of Sacrifice? That's what they're
[21:03] Speaker 2: asking about. So to impose on that a twenty first
[21:08] Speaker 2: century reality, or a tribulation that is twenty first century
[21:14] Speaker 2: as opposed to a tribulation that happened to the first century,
[21:17] Speaker 2: I think is at best anachronistic. I think that what
[21:21] Speaker 2: you have to realize here is that Jesus Christ is
[21:23] Speaker 2: honestly answering a question that disciples are asking, and he's
[21:27] Speaker 2: answering that question with specificity. He tells them about the
[21:31] Speaker 2: great tribulation that will fall upon a church in the
[21:36] Speaker 2: epicenter of a Caesar cult animated by both a beast
[21:41] Speaker 2: and a woman that rides the beast, the beast trying
[21:44] Speaker 2: to parody what the lamb has done, and he's saying
[21:48] Speaker 2: that this is going to be a time of tumult,
[21:51] Speaker 2: a time of tribulation, a time of persecution. But be faithful,
[21:54] Speaker 2: be strong, because if you are, there's going to be vindication.
[21:58] Speaker 2: Have an eternal perspective. And then, so as not to
[22:03] Speaker 2: miss his point, he actually tells us precisely when this
[22:07] Speaker 2: is going to happen. So in the very context of
[22:10] Speaker 2: this passage, he's telling his disciples, I tell you the truth,
[22:15] Speaker 2: or verily, verily, I sand to you, this generation will
[22:20] Speaker 2: certainly not pass away until all these things have been fulfilled.
[22:25] Speaker 2: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will
[22:28] Speaker 2: never pass away. So he's emphatic, this generation will never
[22:32] Speaker 2: pass away. So he puts a context and a time
[22:36] Speaker 2: on that context in place such that we can't mistake
[22:42] Speaker 2: what he's communicating. So now to take that and transport
[22:45] Speaker 2: that to the twenty first century might be narcissistic, might
[22:49] Speaker 2: be anachronistic. I don't know. There's all kinds of things
[22:51] Speaker 2: you can say about that, but it's certainly not biblically correct,
[22:54] Speaker 2: particularly in view of the fact that Jesus Christ is
[22:58] Speaker 2: in this passage as well, using the language of the
[23:01] Speaker 2: prophets to talk about a near future reality. Something is
[23:05] Speaker 2: going to happen in their epic of time. Now, Jesus,
[23:09] Speaker 2: the heir to the linguistic riches, the Old Testament prophets,
[23:12] Speaker 2: and a greater profit than them, all is not to
[23:16] Speaker 2: be mistaken in any sense whatsoever when he uses the
[23:20] Speaker 2: exact words of Isaiah as a classic case in point,
[23:25] Speaker 2: to pronounce destruction on Jerusalem. The exact kind of language
[23:30] Speaker 2: that Isaiah uses when he's talking about the Meds and
[23:34] Speaker 2: the Persians putting out the light of the Babylonian Empire.
[23:38] Speaker 2: So Jesus now simply uses that language and he applies
[23:41] Speaker 2: it to Jerusalem. So I don't know how this can
[23:44] Speaker 2: be mistaken in context and transported in the twenty first century.
[23:48] Speaker 2: But again, if it is mistaken, it is not something
[23:51] Speaker 2: that separates as as brothers and sisters and the Lord.
[23:54] Speaker 2: It simply is a matter of hermeneutics, the art and
[23:58] Speaker 2: science of Biblical interpretation. And I think we're far better
[24:01] Speaker 2: interpreting scripture and light a scripture than going on some
[24:06] Speaker 2: kind of subjective flight of fancy.
[24:08] Speaker 6: Okay, do you have any recommendations for books that I
[24:13] Speaker 6: can read out of the Bible that I might gain
[24:17] Speaker 6: a better view of eschatology and in times, because I
[24:20] Speaker 6: know that to understand Revelation you first have to read
[24:25] Speaker 6: through and understand a lot of other books, especially Daniel,
[24:30] Speaker 6: and so I just I'm open to your suggestions of
[24:35] Speaker 6: how I can gain a more biblical view of eschatology,
[24:39] Speaker 6: because I do think that it's important to recognize and
[24:43] Speaker 6: know when the Second Coming is going to happen.
[24:48] Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we don't know when the Second Coming is
[24:50] Speaker 2: going to happen. That's the main point. But here's the thing.
[24:52] Speaker 2: I love what you're saying. I mean, you've got to
[24:54] Speaker 2: do exactly what you're just talking about. You have to
[24:56] Speaker 2: read scripture and light a scripture. So, for example, in
[24:58] Speaker 2: the illustration I just gave, how do you know that
[25:00] Speaker 2: what I'm saying is true? You got to test it.
[25:03] Speaker 2: So one of the things you can do is go
[25:04] Speaker 2: to Revelation chapter six, when the lamb opens at six seal,
[25:07] Speaker 2: and then you can compare it with what Jesus does
[25:10] Speaker 2: in Matthew twenty four. And then you can compare it
[25:13] Speaker 2: with what Isaiah said in Isaiah chapter thirteen. You can
[25:16] Speaker 2: see that John, that Jesus, and that Isaiah are all
[25:23] Speaker 2: using the same literary construct and so you start to
[25:28] Speaker 2: understand the language of the Bible by comparing scripture with scripture.
[25:32] Speaker 2: As far as a book is concerned, I spent many
[25:35] Speaker 2: years of my life putting together a book called The
[25:37] Speaker 2: Apocalypse Code find out what the Bible really says about
[25:40] Speaker 2: the end times and why it matters today. It's a
[25:44] Speaker 2: primer on the art and science of Biblical interpretation. At
[25:46] Speaker 2: the end of the day, as far as how we
[25:48] Speaker 2: should look at the end times. Remember, what we look
[25:51] Speaker 2: forward to is simply this, that the problem of sin
[25:55] Speaker 2: and Satan will be fully and finally resolved. Jesus Christ
[26:00] Speaker 2: will appear a second time as he promised, and we
[26:04] Speaker 2: will live in a resurrected state, in a new heavens,
[26:08] Speaker 2: new Earth. We're in Jewell's righteousness. Out of time for
[26:11] Speaker 2: today's edition of the Bible. It's been broadcast. See you tomorrow.

[27:04] Speaker 1: the Book of Revelation has become an international obsession, the
[27:07] Speaker 1: result has been rampant misreading of scripture, bad theology, and
[27:11] Speaker 1: even bad politics and foreign policy. In the Apocalypse Code,
[27:16] Speaker 1: find out what the Bible really says about the end
[27:18] Speaker 1: times and why it matters today. Hank Canagraph argues that
[27:22] Speaker 1: the key to understanding the Last Book of the Bible
[27:25] Speaker 1: is the other sixty five books of the Bible, not
[27:28] Speaker 1: current events or recent history. The Apocalypse Code offers sane
[27:32] Speaker 1: answers to some very controversial questions, such as what does
[27:36] Speaker 1: it mean to take the Book of Revelation literally, who
[27:39] Speaker 1: are the Antichrist and the Great Horror of Babylon? And
[27:42] Speaker 1: what is the real meaning of six hundred and sixty six.
