[0:39] Speaker 1: pre recorded to start today's Bible answer Man Broadcast. Here's
[0:44] Speaker 1: your host, Hank Canagraph.
[0:46] Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Randy. We'll go to your calls.
[0:48] Speaker 2: First up today is Pete. He's listening to Farmington, New Mexico.
[0:53] Speaker 3: Hi, Pete, Hi. I have one main question, then just
[0:57] Speaker 3: two quick ones. Hebrews eight three through five. My understanding
[1:02] Speaker 3: is that after Jesus Resurrection, the priestly functions were no
[1:06] Speaker 3: longer necessary. But it sounds the writer of Hebrews is
[1:10] Speaker 3: saying that it's still a legitimate practice going on there.
[1:14] Speaker 3: And I'm a little confused about that.
[1:16] Speaker 2: Well, not at all. Remember that when you read Hebrews
[1:19] Speaker 2: chapter eight, it's a continuation of a letter to the Hebrews,
[1:24] Speaker 2: and the writer is actually pointing out that the point
[1:29] Speaker 2: of what he is saying is we do have such
[1:33] Speaker 2: a high priest who sat down at the right hand
[1:36] Speaker 2: of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who
[1:39] Speaker 2: serves in the sanctuary the true tabernacles set up by
[1:42] Speaker 2: the Lord, not by man. And so Jesus Christ becomes
[1:48] Speaker 2: the antetype that fulfills all the types and shadows that proceeds.
[1:52] Speaker 2: And remember, the writer of Hebrews is saying that the
[1:57] Speaker 2: point of what I'm saying is this, So he's continuing
[2:00] Speaker 2: a sustained, sophisticated argument when we get to chapter eight.
[2:05] Speaker 2: So what Hebrews is doing is it's highlighting that Jesus
[2:08] Speaker 2: is the anti type not only of the temple and
[2:12] Speaker 2: the high priest, but he's the anti typical sacrifice as well.
[2:17] Speaker 2: The blood of goats and bulls, the ashes of a
[2:21] Speaker 2: heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean, sanctify them
[2:27] Speaker 2: so that they are outwardly clean. How much more than
[2:31] Speaker 2: will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit,
[2:35] Speaker 2: offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts
[2:41] Speaker 2: that lead to death, so that we may serve the
[2:44] Speaker 2: living God. That's precisely now what the writer of Hebrews
[2:48] Speaker 2: is saying. And then he says, indeed, even the sacred
[2:50] Speaker 2: ashes of the red heifer, like the blood of bulls
[2:54] Speaker 2: and goats, find their ultimate anti typical fulfillment in the
[2:58] Speaker 2: blood of Jesus Christ. And is for that reason that
[3:01] Speaker 2: the writer of Hebrews explains in no uncertain terms that
[3:05] Speaker 2: if you revert to a sacrificial system, then you're trampling
[3:10] Speaker 2: the Son of God underfoot, and you're treating as an
[3:14] Speaker 2: unholy thing the butt of the covenant, and you're insulting
[3:17] Speaker 2: the spirit of grace. So if you finished chapter eight,
[3:20] Speaker 2: was it say, by calling this covenant new, he has
[3:24] Speaker 2: made the first one obsolete. And what is obsolete and
[3:28] Speaker 2: aging will soon disappear.
[3:31] Speaker 3: So what you That's always been my understanding. Is it
[3:34] Speaker 3: a matter of just the verb tense like in Forrest,
[3:37] Speaker 3: that if he Jesus were on earth, he would not
[3:40] Speaker 3: be a priest, for there are already men who offer
[3:43] Speaker 3: the gifts prescribed by law. They serve at the sanctuary
[3:46] Speaker 3: that is a copy and a shadow of what is
[3:49] Speaker 3: in heaven. So that's the verse that seems like, well,
[3:53] Speaker 3: it's still condoned, and I just talking about the verb
[3:56] Speaker 3: tance or.
[3:58] Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's the verb tense. I think
[4:00] Speaker 2: that you have to follow the sustained argument throughout Hebrews.
[4:04] Speaker 2: And you see that what the right of Hebrews is
[4:07] Speaker 2: saying is that there's an old covenant and there's a
[4:11] Speaker 2: new covenant, and qualitatively they are the same covenant except
[4:17] Speaker 2: for the fact that the old is fulfilled. Right. So yeah,
[4:23] Speaker 2: it's a sustained argument that's going on.
[4:26] Speaker 3: Okay, well thanks, and if you can just give me
[4:29] Speaker 3: the just two quick questions, just give me your in
[4:32] Speaker 3: a nutshell response. I know you have several other callers
[4:34] Speaker 3: that in let's see an acts written by Luke. He
[4:42] Speaker 3: writes down verbatim Peter speeches, the dialogue between Philip and
[4:46] Speaker 3: the Ethiopian and Paul's speeches. How does he get the
[4:51] Speaker 3: exact words the exact quote.
[4:53] Speaker 2: Well, remember that with the Old Testament narratives, you don't
[4:58] Speaker 2: have a memorys recording of what is going on. You
[5:04] Speaker 2: have the inspired writer communicating in his own words what happened.
[5:13] Speaker 2: So it's never the exact same verbiage. And you see
[5:18] Speaker 2: that in the historical narratives that are rendered in the
[5:22] Speaker 2: Gospels themselves. So it's not the exact words, but it
[5:27] Speaker 2: is the content correctly communicated. So again Peter's voice is communicated,
[5:36] Speaker 2: but there's no transcript.
[5:39] Speaker 3: Okay. So and I think the keyword there was the
[5:43] Speaker 3: inspired writer, right, yeah, okay. And then my last one,
[5:47] Speaker 3: and this is an apologetics question. I have a nephew
[5:51] Speaker 3: who's a skeptic through and through to use his own words.
[5:54] Speaker 3: And I know people will say, like when you bring
[5:58] Speaker 3: up biblical prophecies, say, well, they had this scripture in
[6:01] Speaker 3: front of him, and they could self fulfill these prophecies.
[6:05] Speaker 3: And I know some of them could not be self fulfilled.
[6:07] Speaker 3: But how do you respond to people who say, well,
[6:10] Speaker 3: they were just self fulfilled, they already knew what was
[6:12] Speaker 3: written ahead of time.
[6:13] Speaker 2: Well, one of the things I think it'd be really helpful.
[6:15] Speaker 2: There is a little book that I wrote which is
[6:18] Speaker 2: titled Jesus the Superstar of Biblical Prophecy. And in that
[6:22] Speaker 2: what I do is I show how Jesus Christ distinguishes
[6:26] Speaker 2: himself from every other person who's ever walked the planet.
[6:30] Speaker 2: And I use this illustration. If you were to send
[6:33] Speaker 2: a package to my house, you'd have to know my name,
[6:36] Speaker 2: you'd have to know my street, you'd have to know
[6:38] Speaker 2: my street number, you'd have to know my city, you'd
[6:41] Speaker 2: have to know my state, you'd have to know my country,
[6:44] Speaker 2: and my zip code. So those seven points of identification
[6:48] Speaker 2: would separate my doorstep from every other doorstep on the planet.
[6:53] Speaker 2: And in the same way, Jesus Christ is isolated from
[6:57] Speaker 2: every other person on the planet. First of all, his
[7:01] Speaker 2: ancestry is prophesied in minute detail, and so you have
[7:07] Speaker 2: an ancestry that goes through Abraham and not through Ishmael,
[7:11] Speaker 2: but through Isaac, and then it goes on through the
[7:16] Speaker 2: line such that it keeps eliminating people, so only one
[7:21] Speaker 2: can emerge. You have the same thing in terms of
[7:23] Speaker 2: where he's going to be born. You can't decide ahead
[7:27] Speaker 2: of time where you're going to be born. And yet
[7:30] Speaker 2: the Old Testament prophet was able to write many many
[7:35] Speaker 2: years before Jesus Christ was born exactly where he would
[7:40] Speaker 2: be born. The circumstances surrounding his death are communicated in
[7:46] Speaker 2: minute detail, long before the event. Even the date of
[7:52] Speaker 2: his arrival is prophesied within historically small time parameters. In
[7:59] Speaker 2: other words, words, it had to be after the last
[8:02] Speaker 2: profit of the Old Testament and before the destruction of
[8:06] Speaker 2: the Temple in Jerusalem. He had to be an extraordinary
[8:09] Speaker 2: worker of miracles. He had to fulfill the destiny of
[8:16] Speaker 2: accomplishing all of the law and the prophets. He had
[8:20] Speaker 2: to not only be a profit to his own people,
[8:23] Speaker 2: but he had to be a light to the gentiles.
[8:26] Speaker 2: So all of these prophecies cumulative, cannot be pawned off
[8:30] Speaker 2: to good luck, good guessing, or deliberate deceit.
[8:35] Speaker 3: Right, Okay, what was the name of that book.
[8:37] Speaker 2: It's called Jesus the Superstar of Biblical Prophecy, and it's
[8:41] Speaker 2: available through the ministry.
[8:42] Speaker 3: Mister handograph. It's been a pleasure. Thank you very much.
[8:45] Speaker 2: Good talking to you as well. I want to go
[8:46] Speaker 2: back to the phone lines. We'll talk next to Joe.
[8:48] Speaker 2: He's listening in Cleveland, Ohio. Hi Joe.
[8:51] Speaker 4: First of all, I'd like to just thank you for
[8:53] Speaker 4: your ministry, and especially thank you for writing the Apocalypse Code.
[8:57] Speaker 4: That has really helped me to under stand the Bible
[9:02] Speaker 4: in a much clearer fashion.
[9:04] Speaker 2: Well, thanks for those kind words.
[9:07] Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, my question has to do with a question
[9:12] Speaker 4: that I youre ask about, and you had to do
[9:15] Speaker 4: with Justis twelve and three that said that God said
[9:20] Speaker 4: he would bless those who bless Israel, and curse those
[9:23] Speaker 4: who curse Israel. And I believe your response was more
[9:27] Speaker 4: or less that that particular scripture was about Abraham and
[9:30] Speaker 4: not Israel. Is that correct?
[9:34] Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the Lord had said to Abraham, leave your country,
[9:38] Speaker 2: your people, your father's household, and go to the land
[9:42] Speaker 2: that will show you. I'll make you a great nation.
[9:44] Speaker 2: I'll bless you, I'll make your name great. I'll make
[9:47] Speaker 2: you a blessing. I will bless those who bless you,
[9:50] Speaker 2: and whoever curses you, I will curse, and all the
[9:53] Speaker 2: people on earth will be blessed through you. This is
[9:56] Speaker 2: a prophecy that is given with three back to Abraham
[10:01] Speaker 2: and the seed of Abraham. And Abraham's name was actually
[10:06] Speaker 2: changed from Abram to Abraham, which meant the father of
[10:10] Speaker 2: many nations. If you are in Jesus Christ, you are
[10:15] Speaker 2: the seed of Abraham, and then you are an heir
[10:19] Speaker 2: according to the promise. So this has to do with
[10:23] Speaker 2: all those who are the seed of Abraham and therefore
[10:27] Speaker 2: heirs according to the promise. So ultimately, yes, it does
[10:32] Speaker 2: have to do with Israel. True Israel. Israel, not by
[10:37] Speaker 2: your genealogy, not by race, but rather as a direct
[10:44] Speaker 2: result of your relationship to Jesus Christ, who is the
[10:48] Speaker 2: seed of Abraham. And if you are in Jesus Christ,
[10:52] Speaker 2: you are the seed of Abraham. And as a result
[10:54] Speaker 2: of that, you're an air. According to the promise, we'll
[10:56] Speaker 2: be back in just a few moments with more of

[11:51] Speaker 1: shortly with more from Hank hanagraph Breaking the Code. If
[12:04] Speaker 1: the Book of Revelation has become an international obsession, the
[12:07] Speaker 1: result has been rampant misreading of scripture, bad theology, and
[12:11] Speaker 1: 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?

[13:15] Speaker 1: Three years in the making and based on two decades
[13:18] Speaker 1: of research and reflection, Hank Henagraph's monumental book, Has God

[13:26] Speaker 1: our world. In Has God Spoken? Memorable proofs of the
[13:31] Speaker 1: Bible's divine inspiration. Hank counters the contentions of the Bible
[13:34] Speaker 1: attackers and clearly shows that belief in the Holy Scriptures
[13:38] Speaker 1: is not a guess or wishful thinking. It is the
[13:41] Speaker 1: only logical conclusion after an honest examination of overwhelming evidence.

[15:08] Speaker 1: Bible answer Man broadcast and your host and canigraph.
[15:12] Speaker 2: They very much Randy. In my book Has God Spoken,
[15:15] Speaker 2: I actually answer a question that was asked in the
[15:17] Speaker 2: first segment today with respect to how the Biblical writers communicate.
[15:25] Speaker 2: The disciples, moved by the Holy Spirit, codified the essential
[15:30] Speaker 2: wisdom of Jesus, but not the exact words of Jesus.
[15:36] Speaker 2: And of course you know that if you read one
[15:39] Speaker 2: gospel and compare it to another gospel, there's never a contradiction.
[15:45] Speaker 2: But they're communicating as inspired by the Holy Spirit through
[15:50] Speaker 2: their own personalities. Put another way, the disciples left us
[15:55] Speaker 2: a memorable oral tradition rather than the words of their
[16:00] Speaker 2: master on tape. Like their teacher, they employed vivid, vibrant
[16:08] Speaker 2: associations and imagery. They used visual emotive stimuli so they
[16:15] Speaker 2: might not only read, but they could remember what had
[16:21] Speaker 2: gone on. And with the background music of the Law
[16:24] Speaker 2: and the prophets coursing through their minds, they wrote of
[16:26] Speaker 2: their Master, who was the antetype who fulfilled all the
[16:30] Speaker 2: types and shadows of the old Covenant constructs. So when
[16:35] Speaker 2: the beloved Disciple spoke of two witnesses. For example, he
[16:39] Speaker 2: was employing a language system already deeply embedded in the
[16:44] Speaker 2: minds of those familiar with the literature of the Old Testament. Again,
[16:48] Speaker 2: I wrote about this in a book called Has God Spoken?
[16:53] Speaker 2: Memborabile Approach to the Divine Inspiration of Scripture. Let's go
[16:56] Speaker 2: back to the phone lines. Talk next to Jeanne listening
[16:59] Speaker 2: and show up North Carolina. Hi, Jene, Hi, how you doing?
[17:04] Speaker 5: Hank good taking my call.
[17:05] Speaker 2: You're welcome.
[17:07] Speaker 5: I have a question about the tank Commandments. This one
[17:10] Speaker 5: is a yes to no question, and it's going to
[17:12] Speaker 5: give it to my original question. If I lie, then
[17:17] Speaker 5: I will be violating the ninth Commandment. Is that correct?
[17:22] Speaker 2: That is absolutely correct? Yes?
[17:23] Speaker 5: Okay, So I was just curious. It's not something that
[17:28] Speaker 5: a trick question or anything like that. But if I
[17:30] Speaker 5: was to violate the fourth Commandment, what would a person
[17:33] Speaker 5: be doing?
[17:35] Speaker 2: Well, if you take the fourth Commandment, obviously you're familiar
[17:39] Speaker 2: with that, you recognize immediately that in the Old Testament context,
[17:45] Speaker 2: you should be making sure that no one does any
[17:50] Speaker 2: work on the Sabbath. And if you do any work
[17:52] Speaker 2: on the Sabbath, you have to be put to death.
[17:55] Speaker 5: Right, So how does that apply today.
[17:57] Speaker 2: Well, the apostle Paul fortunately to us. He says, Christ
[18:02] Speaker 2: redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming
[18:04] Speaker 2: a curse for us. For it is written, cursed is
[18:07] Speaker 2: everyone who is hung on a tree. So we see
[18:10] Speaker 2: the Sabbath was a shadow of the things that were
[18:13] Speaker 2: to come. The reality is found in Christ. And so
[18:17] Speaker 2: we recognize that the emphasis of the Sabbath. By the way,
[18:21] Speaker 2: you can't ever undo the Sabbath, it's the fourth commandment.
[18:25] Speaker 2: But the emphasis shifts to a celebration of the rest
[18:30] Speaker 2: we have through Christ, who delivers us from sin and
[18:34] Speaker 2: the grave. And so for the emerging Christian Church, the
[18:39] Speaker 2: most dangerous snare then would be a failure to recognize
[18:45] Speaker 2: that Jesus is the substance that fulfills the symbol of
[18:50] Speaker 2: the Sabbath. So we recognize that in Christ we have
[18:56] Speaker 2: our sabbath rest. And remember that when we look at
[19:00] Speaker 2: the law, the ceremonial and the civil aspects of the
[19:06] Speaker 2: law are abrogated because they're fulfilled. That's why Jesus Christ
[19:12] Speaker 2: could tell us that eating shellfish is not an abomination,
[19:18] Speaker 2: because that was a part of the ceremonial law that
[19:23] Speaker 2: pointed to something very substantive. What it pointed to was
[19:27] Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. And when Jesus Christ comes, he tells us
[19:33] Speaker 2: in no uncertain term, that it's not what goes into
[19:37] Speaker 2: a man's mouth and out through his body that defiles him,
[19:40] Speaker 2: it's what proceeds from the heart. And Mark notes that
[19:45] Speaker 2: in saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean. So there's
[19:51] Speaker 2: a symbol and there's a substance. Again, the theme of
[19:56] Speaker 2: the show seems to be this learning to read the
[20:01] Speaker 2: Bible for all it's worth, or learning to mind the
[20:05] Speaker 2: Bible for all its wealth. Let's go back to the
[20:08] Speaker 2: phone line, Doctor Paul listening in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
[20:13] Speaker 6: Hi Paul, Hi Hank, how are you doing today.
[20:16] Speaker 2: I'm good. Nice talking to you.
[20:18] Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks for taking my call. And my question is
[20:22] Speaker 6: concerning the tetragrammaton the sacred name of the Father m
[20:28] Speaker 6: And my question is from my understanding, the Messiah Christ,
[20:34] Speaker 6: while he was here, he would have used and pronounced
[20:37] Speaker 6: that name, despite the Rabbinical tradition against using and pronouncing
[20:41] Speaker 6: the name of the Father. And for instance, when he
[20:45] Speaker 6: was tempted in the wilderness, he said, but he answered
[20:49] Speaker 6: and said, it is written that man shall not live
[20:52] Speaker 6: by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out
[20:54] Speaker 6: of the mouth of God. Many people know that scripture,
[20:58] Speaker 6: but they don't know where it is written. And when
[21:00] Speaker 6: you look it up, you find it in Deuterono Me
[21:03] Speaker 6: eight three and so on. And so also when he
[21:09] Speaker 6: rose up to proclaim the Gospel in his hometown of Capernaum,
[21:13] Speaker 6: would you not believe that he would actually pronounce the
[21:15] Speaker 6: divine sacred name of the Father when he said, the
[21:18] Speaker 6: spirit of the Almighty or Yahweh is upon me. And
[21:23] Speaker 6: is that not part of the reason that he was
[21:25] Speaker 6: so hated by the religionists of his day.
[21:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, not a question about it. Caiaph As, the high priest,
[21:31] Speaker 2: asked him, are you the Christ this another blessed one?
[21:35] Speaker 2: And Jesus said, I am. And you will see the
[21:37] Speaker 2: son of Man sitting at the right hand of the
[21:39] Speaker 2: Mighty when coming in the clouds of heaven. And so
[21:42] Speaker 2: Jesus is using the divine name and applying the divine
[21:48] Speaker 2: name to himself. And you see the same thing in
[21:50] Speaker 2: John chapter eight, where Jesus claims the words by which
[21:54] Speaker 2: God revealed himself to Moses from the burning bush. I
[21:57] Speaker 2: tell you the truth, says Jesus. Before Abraham was born,
[22:01] Speaker 2: I am. And of course at that the Jews picked
[22:04] Speaker 2: up stones to stone him. But Jesus hid himself and
[22:07] Speaker 2: slipped away from the temple grounds. So, yeah, Jesus uses
[22:12] Speaker 2: the divine name and applies it to himself. And not
[22:14] Speaker 2: only so, but we see this in Romans ten. We're
[22:18] Speaker 2: calling on Yahweh and calling on Jesus Christ are equated,
[22:23] Speaker 2: demonstrating that Jesus Christ is God. You also see that
[22:25] Speaker 2: in John twelfth, where John writes that Isaiah saw the
[22:29] Speaker 2: glory of Jesus, and therefore the glory of Jesus and
[22:34] Speaker 2: the glory of God are equated.
[22:37] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[22:37] Speaker 6: Well, it does say also in John that no man
[22:39] Speaker 6: has seen Chaos or God at anytime. The only begotten Son,
[22:43] Speaker 6: which is in the bosom of the Father, he has
[22:45] Speaker 6: declared him. Right, So the various Theophanes that God appeared
[22:51] Speaker 6: even to Moses on Mount sina I, would have to
[22:53] Speaker 6: be through the Messiah Christ. Right.
[22:57] Speaker 2: Well, remember that you have a different thing going on
[23:01] Speaker 2: in terms of what's being communicated there. It is true
[23:06] Speaker 2: that we have seen a visual expression of God. It's
[23:11] Speaker 2: also true to say that we have never seen God
[23:14] Speaker 2: in his essence, so we have seen the expression of
[23:17] Speaker 2: God and his son, Jesus Christ. God has revealed himself
[23:21] Speaker 2: by a visual representation, as in Exodus thirty three when
[23:25] Speaker 2: Moses saw a form or a likeness of God. I've
[23:30] Speaker 2: laid this out in a number of different places, including
[23:34] Speaker 2: the Apocalypse Code available through the ministry of the Christian
[23:36] Speaker 2: Research Institute, and I've talked about this as well in
[23:39] Speaker 2: my little flip chart on a central Christian doctrine. Because ultimately,
[23:43] Speaker 2: what this is getting at is the fact that Jesus
[23:46] Speaker 2: Christ is in fact God in human flesh. All the
[23:50] Speaker 2: fullness of Deity dwell in Jesus Christ in bodily form.
[23:53] Speaker 2: Back to the phone lines, we'll talk next to Adam.
[23:56] Speaker 2: He's listening in Kansas Overland Park High Good hur you.
[24:02] Speaker 7: Well, I've been struggling with this issue in trying to
[24:06] Speaker 7: figure out how the gifts and talents and passions the
[24:10] Speaker 7: Lord has given me fits into a vocation, and I've
[24:15] Speaker 7: just struggled to find good resources to provide guidance in
[24:19] Speaker 7: this area.
[24:20] Speaker 2: Well, if you have talents, you have to exercise those talents.
[24:23] Speaker 2: You have to develop those talents and then God will
[24:26] Speaker 2: lead you through people and through circumstances. So you keep
[24:30] Speaker 2: moving in the direction of an open door where you
[24:34] Speaker 2: develop those talents, You nurture those talents, you use those
[24:39] Speaker 2: talents wherever God gives you an opportunity to use those talents.
[24:42] Speaker 2: And God will continue to open doors for you. And
[24:45] Speaker 2: again He moves predominantly through people and through circumstances. And
[24:51] Speaker 2: all of that, of course, is governed by principles that
[24:55] Speaker 2: we have, which come directly from the pages of Scripture.
[24:59] Speaker 7: Okay, that's helples you're saying it. It's primarily a just
[25:03] Speaker 7: part of living out where you feel like the Lord's
[25:06] Speaker 7: leading you through the principles of Scripture, people and circumstances.
[25:12] Speaker 2: Yeah, very much so, I mean trying to cultivate those. Yeah,
[25:16] Speaker 2: but God's given you time, He's given you talent, and
[25:19] Speaker 2: he's given you treasure. If He give you a particular talent,
[25:22] Speaker 2: then you have to use that talent for His glory.
[25:26] Speaker 2: You have to nurture that talent. If you don't, then
[25:29] Speaker 2: you'll be in violation of what God has given to you.
[25:33] Speaker 2: So God will move through people and through circumstances as
[25:38] Speaker 2: you pray for his will to be done in your life.
[25:41] Speaker 2: The reason I point out Scripture is the governing source
[25:45] Speaker 2: is that you can never violate God's principles, So there's
[25:49] Speaker 2: always a governor on what kind of advice you get
[25:54] Speaker 2: through people and through circumstances. The principles of Scripture are
[25:59] Speaker 2: that governing control.
[26:01] Speaker 7: Right. Okay, that's helpful. Do you know of any resources
[26:04] Speaker 7: that expand on that or help provide you know, practical
[26:08] Speaker 7: and guidance.
[26:09] Speaker 2: Yeah, hang on, let me see what we put in
[26:10] Speaker 2: your hands. Thank you all for tuning in to this

[26:51] Speaker 1: because life and truth matter breaking the Code. If the
[27:04] Speaker 1: Book of Revelation has become an international obsession, the result
[27:08] Speaker 1: has been rampant misreading of scripture, bad theology, and even
[27:12] Speaker 1: bad politics and foreign policy. In the Apocalypse Code, find
[27:16] Speaker 1: out what the Bible really says about the end times
[27:19] Speaker 1: and why it matters today. Hank Canagraph argues that the
[27:22] Speaker 1: key to understanding the Last Book of the Bible is
[27:25] Speaker 1: the other sixty five books of the Bible, not current
[27:28] Speaker 1: events or recent history. The Apocalypse Code offers sane answers
[27:33] Speaker 1: to some very controversial questions, such as what does it
[27:36] Speaker 1: mean to take the Book of Revelation literally, who are
[27:39] Speaker 1: the Antichrist and the Great Horror of Babylon? And what
[27:42] Speaker 1: is the real meaning of six hundred and sixty six.
