[0:48] Speaker 1: seven thousand CROI. You can find us online at equip
[0:53] Speaker 1: dot org. The following program was pre recorded and now
[0:59] Speaker 1: here's Hank Hannah.
[1:00] Speaker 2: Think very much. Randy has always it is great to
[1:02] Speaker 2: be in studio as we take your questions from throughout
[1:05] Speaker 2: the United States and Canada. There are many stars in
[1:12] Speaker 2: the constellation of biblical prophecy, there is only one enduring superstar.
[1:21] Speaker 2: Little wonder then that prophecies concerning him outnumber all others.
[1:28] Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, the Superstar of Biblical prophecy. The booklet that
[1:34] Speaker 2: I want to put into your hands takes the ancestry
[1:41] Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, his birth in Bethlehem, his crucifixion amongst criminals,
[1:52] Speaker 2: the fact that he was destined to come at a
[1:57] Speaker 2: particular time in human history that date narrowly defined within
[2:04] Speaker 2: the parameters of time, the fact that he was to
[2:10] Speaker 2: be an extraordinary worker of miracles, the fulfillment of all
[2:18] Speaker 2: the law and the prophets. Jesus said, I did not
[2:21] Speaker 2: come to abolish the law and the prophets. I came
[2:24] Speaker 2: to fulfill them, and that he would be a light
[2:29] Speaker 2: to the gentiles. Only Jesus Christ could emerge through the
[2:38] Speaker 2: doorway of biblical prophecy. Had Jesus been a Benjamite or
[2:44] Speaker 2: a Levite, he would have immediately been exposed as a fraud.
[2:51] Speaker 2: Had Jesus not been of the house and lineage of David,
[2:57] Speaker 2: his antagonists would have been killingly aware that his ancestry
[3:03] Speaker 2: did not match that of Messiah. Considering that they had
[3:09] Speaker 2: done everything in their power to undermine Jesus Christ, the
[3:14] Speaker 2: obvious would not have gone unchallenged. Instead, as predicted by
[3:24] Speaker 2: the Old Testament prophets, the seed of the woman would
[3:29] Speaker 2: be a descendant of Abraham, not Lot. The line would
[3:35] Speaker 2: proceed through Isaac, not Ishmael, through Jacob, not Esau, and
[3:44] Speaker 2: the fourth of Jacob's sons, not the first. He would
[3:49] Speaker 2: be the legal heir of David, the long awaited king
[3:54] Speaker 2: of the Jews, who would ultimately restore true Israel from
[3:58] Speaker 2: their exile and sales. One thing is certain, Jesus had
[4:04] Speaker 2: to be a Jew, and not just any Jew. He
[4:10] Speaker 2: had to be the Jewish descendant of Israel's quintessential king,
[4:18] Speaker 2: through Jesse by way of Judah and the lineage of Jacob.
[4:26] Speaker 2: God sovereignly directed the course of human history from the
[4:31] Speaker 2: woman Eve who was deceived to the woman Mary who
[4:35] Speaker 2: conceived a son who alone could emerge through the doorway
[4:41] Speaker 2: of Old Testament prophecy. And there's much much more, And
[4:45] Speaker 2: all of this is recorded in this booklet. And I
[4:49] Speaker 2: don't want you to miss the fact that this booklet
[4:51] Speaker 2: has been designed to be memorable. I don't just want
[4:55] Speaker 2: you to read. I want you to remember, to be
[5:01] Speaker 2: able to recall, so that you can communicate that Jesus
[5:06] Speaker 2: Christ is indeed the superstar of biblical prophecy. If you
[5:13] Speaker 2: master this content, and it's quite easy to do. In fact,
[5:16] Speaker 2: Just last night, I was at dinner with my wife
[5:20] Speaker 2: and several other people, and I went through this verbally
[5:24] Speaker 2: so that they could recall the information, and in a
[5:27] Speaker 2: few moments they did. You could do the same. Why
[5:32] Speaker 2: the booklet because I want you to be equipped. People
[5:36] Speaker 2: are going to ask you questions, particularly in light of
[5:41] Speaker 2: false prophets. The Jack ven impis the herald Campings of
[5:46] Speaker 2: this world, who are date setters. I want you to
[5:52] Speaker 2: be able to use the deviation of these false prophets
[5:59] Speaker 2: as opportunities to communicate truth so that people might be changed, regenerated,
[6:07] Speaker 2: so that they might truly believe again. The Book that
[6:13] Speaker 2: Jesus the Superstar of Biblical Prophecy is available to the
[6:19] Speaker 2: Ministry of the Christian Research Institute. We've prepared it for
[6:24] Speaker 2: you and will send it to you for your gift
[6:27] Speaker 2: to the ongoing ministry of the Christian Research Institute, so
[6:31] Speaker 2: that we might be equipped, empowered, enabled to continue changing lives,
[6:39] Speaker 2: not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit.
[6:44] Speaker 2: You can order in a safe, secure fashion on the
[6:47] Speaker 2: webitequipped dot org when you write me at Post Office
[6:51] Speaker 2: Box eighty five hundred, Charlotte, North Carolina, zip code two
[6:54] Speaker 2: eight two seven one, whereas always when you speak with
[6:59] Speaker 2: our resource Salton's Triple eight seven thousand CRI. First up
[7:04] Speaker 2: is Larry listening on Trenton, Missouri.
[7:06] Speaker 3: Hi, Larry, Hello, I I appreciate your radio ministry, and well,
[7:13] Speaker 3: I'd like to ask, how does one know one hundred
[7:18] Speaker 3: percent that they're elect and going to heaven? Because I
[7:22] Speaker 3: want to when I go, I want to, I want
[7:24] Speaker 3: to be with Jesus. And the reason why I'm asking
[7:27] Speaker 3: at is because when I read the Bible, I don't
[7:30] Speaker 3: understand a lot of it. And I remember Jesus said
[7:35] Speaker 3: that he says he don't let some people understand it
[7:39] Speaker 3: because they're not going to heaven.
[7:41] Speaker 2: Well, here's the issue. There is only one elect one.
[7:46] Speaker 2: That elect one is Jesus Christ. If you look at
[7:50] Speaker 2: Galatians chapter three, Paul there makes explicit that Abraham only
[7:58] Speaker 2: had one seed, not seeds plural, but seeds singular. And thus,
[8:07] Speaker 2: if you are in Jesus Christ, the royal seed of Abraham,
[8:13] Speaker 2: then you are an elect one. Because you are in
[8:18] Speaker 2: the elect one. And that doesn't matter whether you are
[8:24] Speaker 2: Jew or Greek. It doesn't matter what gender you are,
[8:31] Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what station in life you have. If
[8:36] Speaker 2: you are in the elect one, by virtue of that,
[8:39] Speaker 2: you are elect. To know that you are in the
[8:45] Speaker 2: elect one, you simply know this. You're a sinner, you
[8:51] Speaker 2: repent of your sin. You've received Jesus Christ as savior
[8:55] Speaker 2: and Lord. Then, based on his promise, not your feelings,
[8:59] Speaker 2: but based on his promise, you have everlasting life.
[9:05] Speaker 3: So when I read the Bible, and if I don't
[9:08] Speaker 3: understand some of it, that don't mean I'm going to hell, right.
[9:11] Speaker 2: No, In fact, the only people that go to hell
[9:14] Speaker 2: are people that do not want a relationship with the Lord.
[9:19] Speaker 2: As long as you want a relationship with the Lord,
[9:24] Speaker 2: the Lord will never turn you away. And let me
[9:27] Speaker 2: say this, it's not the absence of knowledge that damns.
[9:33] Speaker 2: It's the despising of knowledge that damns. And you, obviously
[9:39] Speaker 2: very clearly in terms of the question you're asking and
[9:43] Speaker 2: the way you're posing the question, do not despise knowledge.
[9:48] Speaker 2: You want the knowledge of the truth. And the central
[9:51] Speaker 2: message of the Bible is plain and simple. Sure, on
[9:54] Speaker 2: the one hand, the Bible is so deep a theologian
[9:57] Speaker 2: can drown in it. On the other hand, it's a
[10:00] Speaker 2: simple message. I realize I'm a sinner. I repent of
[10:04] Speaker 2: my sin, and I receive Jesus Christ as savior and Lord.
[10:07] Speaker 3: Well, i'll tell you what. That cleared up a whole
[10:09] Speaker 3: lot because when I read, before I read the Bible,
[10:11] Speaker 3: I always pray that God would give me wisdom. You
[10:14] Speaker 3: know his wisdom.
[10:16] Speaker 2: Well, keep reading the Bible, keep learning. It's a progressive path,
[10:22] Speaker 2: which is to say, you learn little by little by little.
[10:26] Speaker 2: The more I learn, the more I realize how little
[10:28] Speaker 2: I know in the scope of what can be known.
[10:30] Speaker 2: But I'm continuing to learn, and so can you. And
[10:33] Speaker 2: we're in different places of the path, but that does
[10:37] Speaker 2: not mean we can't proceed with vigor, in rigorous joy
[10:42] Speaker 2: that God has given us an opportunity to know Him
[10:45] Speaker 2: not only in time, but also for all eternity.
[10:48] Speaker 3: I sure appreciate that, Hank, and you you stay blessed,
[10:51] Speaker 3: and I'll keep your your ministry and my prayers.
[10:53] Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate it.
[10:55] Speaker 4: Thank you.
[10:56] Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
[10:57] Speaker 1: In our post truth age of confused usion. The need
[11:00] Speaker 1: for Christians to be equipped with answers has never been greater.
[11:04] Speaker 1: The Christian Research Institute exists to provide those answers, and
[11:08] Speaker 1: this provision is made possible only by people like you,
[11:12] Speaker 1: people unafraid to stand up for truth while it's under assault,
[11:16] Speaker 1: people like you whose contributions to our many outreaches are
[11:20] Speaker 1: making a difference for time and eternity. Stand with Hank
[11:24] Speaker 1: Hanagraph and the Christian Research Institute during the key month
[11:28] Speaker 1: of June to ensure that we end the financial year
[11:31] Speaker 1: in a position of strength. To make a gift to

[11:49] Speaker 1: go anywhere. We're coming right back with more answers from
[11:52] Speaker 1: the Bible answer Man, Breaking the Code. If the Book
[12:04] Speaker 1: of Revelation has become an international obsession, the result has
[12:08] Speaker 1: been rampant misreading of scripture, bad theology, and even bad
[12:12] Speaker 1: politics and foreign policy. In The Apocalypse Code, find out
[12:16] Speaker 1: what the Bible really says about the end times and
[12:19] Speaker 1: why it matters today. Hank Canagraph argues that the key
[12:22] Speaker 1: to understanding the Last Book of the Bible is the
[12:25] Speaker 1: other sixty five books of the Bible, not current events
[12:28] Speaker 1: or recent history. The Apocalypse Code offers sane answers to
[12:33] Speaker 1: some very controversial questions, such as what does it mean
[12:36] Speaker 1: to take the Book of Revelation literally? Who are the
[12:39] Speaker 1: Antichrist and the Great Horror of Babylon? And what is
[12:42] Speaker 1: the real meaning of six hundred and sixty six? Order

[13:05] Speaker 1: God Spoken? Are the words of Scripture merely human in origin?
[13:10] Speaker 1: Or are they, in fact the very words of God himself.
[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
[13:23] Speaker 1: Spoken answers what is surely the most important question facing
[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.

[14:02] Speaker 1: won the Battle of Stalingrad. It appeared at first the
[14:05] Speaker 1: Nazi war machine would secure the victory, but the Soviets
[14:08] Speaker 1: battled back from near certain defeat with extraordinary courage and
[14:13] Speaker 1: resoluteness to turn the tide of the battle and ultimately
[14:16] Speaker 1: the war. The lesson is that both men and material
[14:20] Speaker 1: people and provisions played a critical role. Willingness to fight
[14:24] Speaker 1: and munitions in the arsenal were pivotal. Our contemporary battle
[14:29] Speaker 1: for truth against anti Christian secularists raises the stakes above
[14:33] Speaker 1: the significance of Stalingrad. CRI likewise needs military partners willing
[14:39] Speaker 1: to stand for truth, along with the financial means to

[15:08] Speaker 1: Man broadcast and your host and canagraph.
[15:12] Speaker 2: Very much, Randi, and back to the phone lines. We'll
[15:14] Speaker 2: talk to Mike next. Listening on the web in California,
[15:17] Speaker 2: Hi Mike, how are you doing it to Hank, I'm good.
[15:20] Speaker 5: Thanks, Hey, I have a question for you.
[15:23] Speaker 4: Normally I listened to your broadcast via podcast because I'm
[15:26] Speaker 4: a truck driver and just give me something to listen
[15:28] Speaker 4: to when I have no reception in bad areas. But
[15:31] Speaker 4: I heard you're talking to a gentleman predestination and free will,
[15:35] Speaker 4: and you had used the phrase fatalistically determined. And then,
[15:39] Speaker 4: if I remember correctly, you had said that, you know,
[15:42] Speaker 4: that was the way he believed that he believed that
[15:45] Speaker 4: we were fatalistically determined, and that if by believing that
[15:49] Speaker 4: that he would assume that God is the author of evil.
[15:54] Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of ways of going about that. First
[15:56] Speaker 2: of all, fatalistic determinism. That's part of the philosophical naturalist paradigm,
[16:03] Speaker 2: which is to say that if Macdonna is merely a
[16:07] Speaker 2: material girl living in a material world, then her choices
[16:11] Speaker 2: are not free, they're fatalistically determined on the basis of
[16:14] Speaker 2: brain chemistry and genetics. From the standpoint of theistic fatalism
[16:20] Speaker 2: or theological fatalism, there's the notion that is oftentimes communicated
[16:29] Speaker 2: with the analogy of Macbeth. Macbeth murders King Duncan. Shakespeare
[16:38] Speaker 2: fully one hundred percent caused Duncan's death because Shakespeare authored Macbeth.
[16:47] Speaker 2: And therefore the analogy is made that God is the
[16:51] Speaker 2: author of evil, even though we as agents carry out
[16:55] Speaker 2: that evil and as such are morally culpable for the
[16:59] Speaker 2: evil that we do. So that's the argument that is
[17:03] Speaker 2: sometimes made for theistic fatalism or theological fatalism, the end
[17:10] Speaker 2: of which is that the future, especially the destination of individuals,
[17:17] Speaker 2: is fixed. So a theistic fatalist believes that a personal
[17:22] Speaker 2: God unconditionally determines where individuals will go when they die,
[17:27] Speaker 2: whether that be to heaven or hell. Now there's the
[17:31] Speaker 2: other position that can be held, which is a position
[17:35] Speaker 2: that I hold, and that is the position that God
[17:39] Speaker 2: is not the author of evil. That God created the
[17:43] Speaker 2: potential for evil by granting us the freedom of choice,
[17:50] Speaker 2: without which love would be rendered meaningless, and as a
[17:53] Speaker 2: result of that, humans ended up actualizing the potential for evil.
[17:58] Speaker 2: So God creates the potential for evil by granti get
[18:01] Speaker 2: freedom of choice, humans actualize that evil.
[18:05] Speaker 4: Yeah, and I totally agree with that. I'm right there
[18:08] Speaker 4: with you on that one. And a good friend of
[18:11] Speaker 4: mine the reason I'm ultimately calling is a good friend
[18:14] Speaker 4: of mine, and I understand that this is not something
[18:17] Speaker 4: that you know, we divide over it something we can debate,
[18:19] Speaker 4: you know, as you say on your broadcast all the time,
[18:22] Speaker 4: and we don't have to divide over it. But he
[18:25] Speaker 4: wants to get together with me and have a conversation
[18:27] Speaker 4: about it, just to you know, just to talk it
[18:29] Speaker 4: out and see where we stand about it. And I
[18:31] Speaker 4: just kind of wanted, was hope, and just for a
[18:33] Speaker 4: little clarification and about that subject. And I appreciate that,
[18:38] Speaker 4: and if I could rule fast, I just wanted to
[18:41] Speaker 4: share a little testimony with you. I started listening to
[18:44] Speaker 4: your broadcast in August of last year, and at the
[18:47] Speaker 4: time I was out of work, and I was actually
[18:49] Speaker 4: out of work for nearly two years. I just started
[18:51] Speaker 4: a brand new job about five weeks ago. And I
[18:54] Speaker 4: just want to encourage anybody listening, and anybody that listens
[18:57] Speaker 4: to this program regularly, even if even if it's just
[19:02] Speaker 4: a little bit. The money that people give to your
[19:06] Speaker 4: program and your broadcast and your institute is it's you
[19:09] Speaker 4: so well. And I just cannot express how much your
[19:13] Speaker 4: ministry has helped me just in you know, six months
[19:17] Speaker 4: of listening to it, It's been just an enormous lessing
[19:20] Speaker 4: and I just really want to thank you so much
[19:22] Speaker 4: for your ministry.
[19:22] Speaker 2: Hank Well, Mike, thank you so much. I can't imagine
[19:26] Speaker 2: how much I'm touched by your comments. God bless you,
[19:28] Speaker 2: my friend.
[19:29] Speaker 4: You two thanks lot, appreciate the help you get it.
[19:32] Speaker 2: I want to go back to the phone line, doctor
[19:33] Speaker 2: Brace listening. I'm Tyler, Texas. Next, Hi, Brace, are you good?
[19:39] Speaker 5: I had two quick questions. One was about the movies
[19:41] Speaker 5: I Died, part one of three, the religion part uh huh.
[19:44] Speaker 5: And the other question was is there a book that
[19:47] Speaker 5: is related to I guess you could say kind of
[19:50] Speaker 5: a modern modern day Bible.
[19:53] Speaker 2: A book related to a modern day Bible. What do
[19:56] Speaker 2: you mean by.
[19:56] Speaker 5: That, as in where we are now? From biblical terms?
[20:02] Speaker 2: You mean prophecy wise?
[20:04] Speaker 5: I guess so well.
[20:06] Speaker 2: You know, from a biblical perspective, there's no answer to
[20:10] Speaker 2: that question whatsoever. The Bible doesn't give us even a clue,
[20:15] Speaker 2: a hint, nothing at all in terms of when Jesus
[20:20] Speaker 2: Christ will return, the only thing we know is that
[20:24] Speaker 2: he will appear a second time, but there is no
[20:29] Speaker 2: time table and as I said, not even a hint
[20:32] Speaker 2: of a timetable given to us, So we simply do
[20:35] Speaker 2: not know. By the way, I've articulated that in Jesus,
[20:39] Speaker 2: the superstar of biblical prophecy, so that you can understand
[20:41] Speaker 2: why I say that, because there are a lot of
[20:43] Speaker 2: people who suggest that there are hints, but unfortunately they're
[20:47] Speaker 2: taking passages that are related to one epic of time
[20:51] Speaker 2: and applying them to the end times, as they term it,
[20:56] Speaker 2: and as a result of that, they're confusing a biblical
[20:59] Speaker 2: passage and it's meaning with some kind of a clue
[21:02] Speaker 2: or hint as to when the Lord will return. We
[21:05] Speaker 2: have no hint or clue. The only thing we know
[21:08] Speaker 2: for certain is that he promised he would return, and
[21:12] Speaker 2: because his promises have never failed, we can assume correctly
[21:17] Speaker 2: and definitively that they're not going to fail in the future.
[21:20] Speaker 2: As far as Zeitgeist the movie is concerned, well, it's interesting.
[21:25] Speaker 2: Zeitgeist means spirit of the Times, and the movie itself
[21:31] Speaker 2: has a thesis, and a few powerful individuals is the
[21:36] Speaker 2: thesis of the movie that they're perpetrating miss about religion
[21:41] Speaker 2: and about war and money in order to control the
[21:44] Speaker 2: masses so this is a huge conspiracy theory. All religions
[21:51] Speaker 2: are rooted in astral religions. They say the Jesus of
[21:55] Speaker 2: Christianity is a mythical solar deity. The Bible is just
[22:01] Speaker 2: borrowed from pagan religions. There's nothing truly new or unique
[22:06] Speaker 2: in Christianity. So Zeitgeist the movie is based on a
[22:10] Speaker 2: conspiracy theory. Unfortunately, it is not rooted in any kind
[22:17] Speaker 2: of evidence. It's devoid of evidence. And this is exactly
[22:21] Speaker 2: the opposite of what the Bible really gives us. It's
[22:25] Speaker 2: not rooted in pagan mystery religions. It's rooted in empirically
[22:30] Speaker 2: verifiable evidence and history. It's historic and evidential, and that's
[22:36] Speaker 2: why Christians are never called to blind faith, but rather
[22:41] Speaker 2: to faith in irrefutable fact.
[22:44] Speaker 5: Yes, sir, thank you, you got it.
[22:46] Speaker 2: Hey, you got it, and thank you for your call.
[22:48] Speaker 2: And got back to the phone lines. Doctor Jim, he's listening
[22:51] Speaker 2: in Iowa. Hi Jim, how.
[22:53] Speaker 6: Are you doing a good How are you wonderful?
[22:56] Speaker 3: Hey?
[22:56] Speaker 6: I want to thank you so much for taking my call. Hank, pleasure,
[23:00] Speaker 6: big question for you. Thank you. I've got a friend
[23:04] Speaker 6: that he's a Jehovah witness. And I've been a Christian
[23:09] Speaker 6: all my life, and he's busy showing me scripture after scripture,
[23:14] Speaker 6: multitude of scriptures, and giving me dates of nineteen twelve
[23:18] Speaker 6: and telling me how that the first Jehovah witness was
[23:24] Speaker 6: Jesus Christ himself. And they have a very good history
[23:29] Speaker 6: of studying the scriptures and using the scriptures to address
[23:36] Speaker 6: their religion, if you will. And I guess, basically, Hank,
[23:39] Speaker 6: what I'm trying to find out is what is the
[23:42] Speaker 6: basic difference between Jehovah witness and.
[23:44] Speaker 2: Christian Yeah, first of all, let me say that they
[23:47] Speaker 2: don't use the biblical text. They abuse the biblical text,
[23:52] Speaker 2: and in doing so, they make Jesus Christ a creation
[23:56] Speaker 2: of God. God creates Jesus Christ, and then Jesus Christ
[24:00] Speaker 2: becomes a junior partner in the creation of all other things.
[24:05] Speaker 2: And again to get other things, what they do is
[24:08] Speaker 2: they actually insert the other four times in Colossians chapter one,
[24:13] Speaker 2: beginning of verse fifteen, so that he is not the
[24:16] Speaker 2: creator of all things, he's the creator of all other things.
[24:20] Speaker 2: And again they insert that word intentionally four times to
[24:25] Speaker 2: make Jesus Christ other than who he is, the one
[24:28] Speaker 2: who spoke and the universe left into existence. Their basic
[24:32] Speaker 2: view is that Jesus Christ is the archangel Michael. During
[24:36] Speaker 2: his earthly sojourn, he was merely human, and after he died,
[24:43] Speaker 2: he was resurrected or recreated better an immaterial spirit creature. Now,
[24:50] Speaker 2: the Christian view is far different than that he is
[24:53] Speaker 2: not the archangel Michael. In fact, he is God in
[24:57] Speaker 2: human flesh, and therefore he demands worship. Where an angel
[25:03] Speaker 2: turns away worship, do not worship me, the angel who
[25:07] Speaker 2: is showing John the revelation said, but worship God. I'm
[25:12] Speaker 2: a fellow servant with you and your brothers. The prophets
[25:16] Speaker 2: worship God. Worship is to be established for God alone.
[25:20] Speaker 2: During his earthly sojourn, Jesus Christ did not divest himself
[25:25] Speaker 2: of a single attribute of deity. He simply took on
[25:29] Speaker 2: the limitations of humanity. And today he is forever in flesh.
[25:35] Speaker 2: He's forever theanthropist, the god Man. So the idea that
[25:40] Speaker 2: he was recreated an immaterial spirit creature simply wrong. He
[25:43] Speaker 2: was resurrected, and the resurrection is the central event in Christianity,
[25:49] Speaker 2: which is the hope of the believer that we too
[25:51] Speaker 2: will be physically resurrected, so Christianity is not platonic. It's
[25:55] Speaker 2: very physical, much different than the belief system of the
[25:59] Speaker 2: jeph We've written about this in various forms. Check it

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