Another Gospel Post

I needed to hear this.  Periodically I need to hear this kind of message.  This is John MacArthur on the true gospel, the perseverance of the saints:

Don't know why it won't embed.  But here's the URL: 





Bringing it all Together for the Grand Finale of Planet Earth

Still enjoying Jay's rundown of world events in his July 20th Watchdog video I put up a couople of posts down.  My eyes are getting worse all the time and I can't read any of the information on the video screen, and he reads fast so it's sometimes hard to follow that too.  Also hard to read much I find online.   In order to read comfortably I seem to require a pretty strong contrast between the letters and the background and the right size:  if the letters are too big I can't read them any better than if they are too small, hard to explain, and I guess I'm sayhing all this as a sort of excuse, but that's why I'm particularly happy that Jay is covering the specifics involving the Pope.  That's all information that supports my arguments but I can't collect myself.  I did do a little research yesterday and found a Wikipedia account of the negotiations between the "Holy See" and Israel which looks interesting but it's not much about Francis, more a historical rundown.   And my own posts are getting hard to read.  If I make a typo even when I reread what I wrote I may miss it.  I can more or less get things typed, but rereading is becomming difficult.

I can't reread my last post for instance but I think I may have got something wrong about the Vatican's role in the peace plans for Israel.  Their plan in 1999 gave them custodianship of the part of Jerusalem with the Temple Mount, and that will probably be a part of any future plan but I don't think it's on the table at the moment.  Sorry, I just can't do more with this right now.

A little over an hour into the video Jay mentions ongoing Muslim persecutions and says it seems to him we're seeing "an awawkening of evil" in the world.  Nice phrase, seems to me to be the case too.  Certainly true here in the US.

I get the impression that Jay may be approaching the same view of things as my own but from a different angle.  I'm focusing on biblical prophecy and he's focusing on world events.  Or something like that.   I'm following the Reformers' view of the papacy which leads me to the idea of Francis' likely role as the final Antichrist, while Jay is following Francis around the globe and coming to a similar conclusion.  

He's also tracking the WCC's efforts toward a one-world religion through the UN and the aim of consolidating global power in a ew hands, and all these things are shared by the WCC, the Vatican and the UN..  

Interesting:  around 1:12: 00 he mentions  encountering internet censorship of some of his information he wants to send to a friend.  Facebook says he can't.  Nothing terribly controversial or so it seems to me:  just the fact that the WCC has a publication at the UN called "Voices of Faith" -- 

I already knew we were close but all this brings it closer still.  

I can't report on the whole video so I hope others will listen to it.  At least watch his finale from about 1:22:30.where he sums up the material he's covered in this video.   He's answering people who would say all this could only be believed by a tin foil hat wearer or a conspiracy theorist, and very amusingly says "to be fair I happen to be both" but his point is that he's based it all on actual reported facts.  And he has.  He sees this global religious and political behemoth coming together under the Pope and says we need to know about it.  We do.  

Watch.  Pray.  Stand.
