[00:30] End of the Post-1945 World Order (55 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong began prophesying after World War II that Europe would reunite one more time. We are now watching his signature prophecy suddenly come to pass.

Earlier today, NTEB'er Gregory Kyle posted a video to our site from a group called ‘Tomorrow's World' with a working title of ‘The Rapture Debunked In 3 Questions', asking if anyone had ever heard of these people before. So naturally I checked it out. The group is a ministry from the Living Church of God, an offshoot of the old Worldwide Church of God led by Herbert W. Armstrong who taught a mix of Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, and British Israelism with a touch a Seventh Day Adventist thrown in for fun. These are the people telling you there is no Church Age Pretribulation Rapture, but it doesn't end there with the cults. There are plenty of mainstream Christian denominations who are trying to ‘debunk the Rapture' as well, so tonight we debunk them. On this episode of Rightly Dividing, someone is trying to steal your faith in one of the most-precious promises that God has for His children in the Church Age, the Pretribulation Rapture! But it's not just the cults who are doing this junk, more often than not the attacks, and that's exactly what they are, come from fellow Christians about whom Paul said “Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.” Amen. So tonight, we will take the entire 22-minute ‘Debunking The Rapture' video, answering every point they raise, rightly divided and dispensationally correct. And in doing so, give you the all the tools you need for the next time a fellow Christian comes alongside you looking to steal your ‘blessed hope'.

Herbert W. Armstrong learned relaxed faith through harrowing experiences in God's Work. This kind of strong faith is vitally necessary in doing the Work today. Let Mr. Armstrong's example be a turning point in your life! “Faith to Do the Work” Autobiography of Herbert W. Armstrong

[00:30] Another Masterful Trap (19 minutes) Following the E. Jean Carroll verdict, the media insists that Donald Trump really is finished this time. But the Trump defense team learned after the trial's conclusion that Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan should have recused himself from the case because he once mentored Carroll's main lawyer. This clear conflict of interest completely discredits the judge's ruling against Trump. The president's enemies have fallen into another trap of their own making. [19:00] Mystery of the Ages Lawsuit Parallels (36 minutes) There are some interesting parallels between the absurd anti-Trump lawfare and the Philadelphia Church of God's court case over the right to print and distribute Herbert W. Armstrong's seminal work, Mystery of the Ages.

[00:30] U.S. and Britain Bomb Houthi Targets in Yemen (13 minutes) Overnight, Britain and America bombed 16 bases in Yemen used by the Houthis to attack international shipping. [13:00] ‘Get Trump' Lawfare Is Being Exposed (22 minutes) CNN's most-watched 2023 broadcast was a town hall discussion with Donald Trump. Yesterday, it was revealed that both New York Attorney General Letitia James and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis visited the Biden White House, likely to coordinate with the Joebama administration on how to get Trump. More information about Willis's illicit relationship with Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade reveals just how far these leftists are willing to go to get Trump. [35:15] WorldWatch (4 minutes) [39:00] The Dangers of Higher Education (16 minutes) Recent revelations about Harvard and other distinguished colleges prove that Herbert W. Armstrong was right about the dangers of higher education. This world needs a new educational system founded on God's truth.

[00:30] The Trouble With Harvard (55 minutes) Harvard president Claudine Gay has finally resigned, following her failure to condemn calls for genocide against Jews and a massive plagiarism scandal. Instead of recognizing and apologizing for her mistakes, she says that the calls for her to resign were racist. Recent Harvard fellows have included former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Boston Mayor Kim Janey, all dyed-in-the-wool leftists. Herbert W. Armstrong warned that higher education was dangerously polluted with evolution, Marxist economics and Freudian morals and social patterns—and he was right!

[00:30] Worst Media Moments of 2023 (13 minutes) [13:00] Dear Leader Supports Harvard Plagiarist (23 minutes) Barack Obama lobbied for the beleaguered Harvard president to keep her job despite her openly anti-Semitic actions and recently revealed serial plagiarism. However, according to the regime media, all we need to worry about is that Donald Trump is still Hitler. [35:50] 2024 Economic Crisis? (14 minutes) Economists are warning of an economic crisis next year. Herbert W. Armstrong warned that an economic crisis would trigger the formation of the Holy Roman Empire.

[00:30] Biden's Pathetic Interview About Gaza Highlights U.S. Weakness (43 minutes) This weekend, 60 Minutes host Scott Pelley interviewed Joe Biden about the war in Gaza. Pelley spoke for Biden throughout the interview, explaining the fake president's brief yes or no answers and describing his talking points for him. The death toll from Hamas's October 7 invasion of Israel is rising as the injured die and more charred bodies are identified. At least 150 hostages remain in captivity in Gaza, including Americans—but the U.S. government is doing nothing to rescue them. Meanwhile, anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian protests around the world show that Jew hatred is not limited to Hamas terrorists. [43:30] Who and What Is God? (12 minutes) The first chapter of Herbert W. Armstrong's seminal work, Mystery of the Ages, answers the fundamental question, “Who and what is God?” This question is the most important of all.

[00:30] Paxton Impeachment Trial Reveals Deep Republican Division (33 minutes) The sham impeachment trial against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton reveals the bitter division within the Republican Party. A “whistleblower” who reported Paxton to the FBI for bribery and abuse of power admitted under oath that he had no evidence. RINOs are joining forces with leftist Communists to target Republican Trump supporters, while ignoring the obvious crimes of untouchable establishment politicians like Joe Biden. [33:00] NYC Mayor Says Migrants Will ‘Destroy' Sanctuary City (6 minutes) Mayor Eric Adams admitted the migrant crisis is destroying New York City, which is not equipped to deal with 10,000 new migrants every month. Even self-proclaimed sanctuary cities are beginning to realize that unchecked illegal immigration is unsustainable. [39:30] WorldWatch (4 minutes) [43:25] Embrace God's Family Education (12 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong taught that the foundation of a college should be Malachi 4:5-6. The true education offered at Herbert W. Armstrong College today is based on that premise. In any stage of life, true Christians should embrace the eternal value of a God Family education.

Two end-time Joshuas succeeded Herbert W. Armstrong after his death in 1986. Only one of them is loyal to God. Zechariah—The Sign of Christ's Imminent Return

[00:30] America Faces Mounting Crises (27 minutes) When the communist left says everything is perfect, you know it's a disaster. The United States is being overrun by illegal immigrants, but White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre insists that Joe Biden has “done more to secure the border … than anybody else.” The communist left is warning about the possibility of another pandemic, but Donald Trump identifies this scaremongering for what it really is: an attempt to rig the 2024 presidential election. [27:30] The Dear Leader Is Running the Show (9 minutes) Newt Gingrich said on Fox News that “the driving force behind the Biden administration is Barack Obama.” Tucker Carlson may be about to post an interview with Larry Sinclair, a man who claims he snorted cocaine and had a homosexual encounter with Barack Obama in 1999. [36:50] Current News (3 minutes) [40:15] Obey to Understand (15 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong and his wife kept the seven annual holy days for years before God revealed their true meaning. Understanding the word of God comes from putting it into practice.

[00:30] U.S. Government Obstructed Itself in Hunter Biden Investigation (40 minutes) The House Oversight Committee hearing on the Hunter Biden investigation has revealed condemning new details about the Biden family's crimes. IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler divulged that the IRS was prevented from following leads about Joe Biden and the DOJ went against its own rules by not charging Hunter with a felony for tax fraud. While Joe Biden was vice president, the Biden crime family received millions of dollars in payments from foreign governments through shell companies. Despite these revelations, the mainstream media is trying to distract viewers with reports about Donald Trump as a racist rapist. [40:30] The Fruits of the Abundant Life (15 minutes) Through years of trial, God taught Herbert W. Armstrong the way to true joy and abundant living. Living that way of life produces true contentment and real fruits that will last forever.

[00:30] The White Powder House (26 minutes) Biden family members seem to be able to do whatever they want with impunity. The Secret Service has insisted there is no way to know who left cocaine in the White House—and admitted that marijuana was found there twice in 2022. The Washington Free Beacon revealed that the University of Pennsylvania received a “startling” increase in donations from China right after the Penn Biden Center opened. The Department of Justice has tried to silence Gal Luft, a key whistleblower with insider knowledge of the Biden family's corruption. Meanwhile, Special Counsel Jack Smith is still trying to get Donald Trump on documents charges. [26:00] Sending Cluster Bombs to Ukraine (5 minutes) Joebama is sending cluster bombs to Ukraine, despite opposition from the House of Representatives. Foreign Policy showed in a recent article that the Ukraine War was made possible because Barack Obama weakened the world's resistance to Russian President Vladimir Putin's imperial ambitions. [31:30] Ray Epps the Victim (9 minutes) Ray Epps's attorney insists that Epps is a victim and deserves compensation from Fox News for defamation. [40:30] Current News (4 minutes) [44:25] No Other Gods Before Me (11 minutes) The young Herbert W. Armstrong was determined to become a success in the eyes of the world. God taught him through a series of humbling business failures that this mindset was an idol that needed to be crushed. True Christians must fight to put God first in their lives and not allow anything to come before Him.

Back in 1955, Herbert W. Armstrong warned of a dire threat to God's Work: TELEVISION. Learn how this exciting new invention actually hurt the work—and how it is a much bigger problem for us today.

[00:30] The Crime Crisis (30 minutes) This weekend, a violent mob of unruly teens vandalized property and clashed with police in Chicago. There have been 161 homicides in Chicago so far this year, and 693 people have been shot. The House of Representatives is holding a hearing today about the increase in crime in New York City under Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Prophecies throughout the Old and New Testaments predict a teen takeover of society and culture and a drastic escalation in violence in the end time. [30:00] The Communist Infiltration of the United States (19 minutes) On Friday, Jesse Watters discussed the Communist infiltration of the United States. Herbert W. Armstrong prophesied this Communist takeover for decades, beginning in 1934. [49:30] E-mail Feedback (6 minutes)

[00:30] Herbert W. Armstrong Was Right (12 minutes) On Sean Hannity's show last night, guest Mark Levin paralleled the fall of America and Rome and described the “axis of powers” turning against America. Herbert W. Armstrong prophesied these events decades ago. [12:30] Joebama Ordered Mar-a-Lago Hit Job (15 minutes) News media companies are publicizing politically motivated polls with small sample sizes that indicate most Americans think Donald Trump committed a crime. Meanwhile, real crimes are constantly covered up. Breitbart reported yesterday that the Joebama White House orchestrated the Mar-a-Lago raid. [27:50] March 2023 ‘Died Suddenly' (11 minutes) NBC devoted four minutes of a recent news show to reveal that Tiffany Dover, a nurse who fainted after receiving her first COVID-19 vaccination, is actually alive. Meanwhile, most mainstream news sources still ignore the many examples of people dying suddenly after receiving the vaccine. [39:00] Lessons From the Days of Unleavened Bread (16 minutes) Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread teach us how to overcome sin and replace it with righteousness. Revelation 12:11 reveals a two-part formula for overcoming: by “the blood of the Lamb,” which wipes out past sins when we repent, and by “the word of their testimony,” or the way we live our lives.

[00:30] U.S. Government Nationalizes the Banking System (38 minutes) Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted this week that although the federal government will bail out big banks if they go under, small community banks will not receive the same treatment. With the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) bailout, the FDIC removed the risk factor from investment by paying back all SVB depositors, signaling to other big banks that the government will bail them out if they make risky financial decisions. This dramatic alteration to globally accepted financial policy has changed American capitalism and made banks and financial regulators around the world very nervous. [38:45] Mr. Armstrong's Greatest Personal Prophecy (10 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong prophesied that economic collapse in the U.S. would trigger a coming global crisis. [50:30] Viewer Feedback (5 minutes)

[00:30] Democrats Deny the Truth About January 6 (44 minutes) Last night, Tucker Carlson revealed previously hidden January 6 footage proving the protest was mostly peaceful. The footage even showed Capitol police officers helping “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley get into the Senate chamber. Communists in the U.S. government and media have joined forces against Carlson, claiming the segment was full of lies—but not addressing the obvious truths shown by the footage. The day after the fake insurrection, the Trumpet Daily exposed the truth about January 6 in the program “The Siege and the Fake Siege.” [47:40] Court Case History (8 minutes) In March 2003, the Philadelphia Church of God achieved an inspiring victory in court, gaining possession of Herbert W. Armstrong's books and booklets. This riveting history teaches many powerful lessons.

[00:30] U.S. Declares War on UFOs (12 minutes) After allowing a Chinese spy balloon to traverse the entire continental United States, the U.S. is suddenly in an all-out war—against UFOs. The U.S. military has shot down four unidentified high-altitude objects in U.S. and Canadian airspace over the past week. The media's new obsession with UFOs is a perfectly timed distraction, considering everything that is going wrong for the Joebama regime right now. [12:30] U.S. Tells Citizens to Leave Russia (14 minutes) The U.S. Embassy in Moscow told U.S. citizens living or traveling in Russia that they “should depart immediately” because of the war in Ukraine and “the risk of wrongful detentions." At the same time, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh's article “How America Took Out the Nord Stream Pipeline” is gaining a lot of attention. [26:00] Ohio Train Derailment (12 minutes) Ohio faces one of the biggest environmental disasters in decades, but the story is not receiving nearly enough media coverage. Train cars containing hazardous material derailed and exploded near East Palestine on February 3, releasing known carcinogenic chemicals into the environment. Animals are getting sick and dying in the surrounding area, and citizens faced a mandatory evacuation order. [38:00] Rise Early With Urgency (17 minutes) In his autobiography, Herbert W. Armstrong described how he set the habit of being an “early bird”—getting up early in the morning to “do what ought to be done instead of giving in to inclination or impulse.” We must emulate this spirit of urgency by rising early to do God's Work every day.

The deadly spirit of compromise infected the Worldwide Church of God after Herbert W. Armstrong died, to the point that most of the brethren just casually accepted the cancellation of Mr. Armstrong's greatest book. Raising the Ruins Mystery of the Ages The Incredible Human Potential

[00:30] The Accuser Is Cast Down to This Earth (18 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong said, “An accuser is guilty of the very thing that he accuses others of.” That spirit of accusation is rampant in the world today. God expects true believers to practice what they preach, rather than spreading slanderous rumors and gossip. [18:00] Body Cam Footage Reveals Capitol Police Fired Poison Gas … at Capitol Police (6 minutes) One false January 6 narrative is that Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick had a stroke the day after the protest because a protester sprayed him with bear spray. However, new January 6 body cam footage shows that Capitol police accidentally gassed their own officers—including Sicknick—with a misfired canister of chemical irritant. The bigger question raised by the footage is why the police started firing gas and flash bangs at peaceful protesters in the first place. [24:00] Mike Pence Also Took Classified Documents (11 minutes) Yesterday, CNN broke the news that Mike Pence's lawyers found classified documents at his Indiana home. Pence has repeatedly insisted that he did not take classified documents home and has criticized Biden for his documents scandal. The media are still working hard to convince the public that Donald Trump is the only one who should be penalized for holding on to classified documents. [35:00] Skyrocketing Excess Deaths (12 minutes) In an interview with Southbank Investment Research, Nigel Farage said the elephant in the room is how many of the so-called “excess deaths” in Western nations “have been caused by effects from the vaccine itself.” [47:00] Listener Feedback (8 minutes)

Herbert W. Armstrong wanted to deliver Mystery of the Ages to the largest audience possible, but he died before that could happen—and his successors discarded the book entirely. Today, Gerald Flurry and the Philadelphia Church of God are finishing the job. Mystery of the Ages Prophesy Again Raising the Ruins

[00:30] God's Miracle Day (39 minutes) Herbert W. Armstrong died 37 years ago today. Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote in Malachi's Message, “You are going to see the date of Mr. Armstrong's death take on more significance as time goes on.” Many prophetically significant events have taken place on January 16, as described in our booklet January 16: God's Miracle Day. On this anniversary, it is important for us to pause and consider Mr. Armstrong's ministry and what happened in the Church and the world after his death. [39:40] Biden's Troves of Top Secret Documents (16 minutes) Yet another batch of classified documents has been found at Joe Biden's residence in Wilmington, Delaware. These troves of documents reinforce the fact that Joe Biden is guilty of everything that Donald Trump has been accused of—only worse.

Further, at rsr.org/blood-moons#rsr-vs-the-apocalypse-gurus we make our argument that while the predictions of the End Times gurus are systematically wrong, here at Bob Enyart Live and RSR our biblically-based general and science predictions have an uncanny way of being confirmed!  This is a Special Edition of Real Science Radio. * LIST OF LEADING END TIMES PREACHERS * Leading End Times Preachers All Dyin' of Old Age:  The modern end-times movement really took off way back in the 1970s and 1980s. Did all the big-name end times teachers think that they would still be preaching in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, and as a group dying of old age? No, of course not. We discuss this in a series on BEL beginning on May 14th, 2018 for the 70th anniversary of the modern State of Israel. See specifically the program, How to turn perfectly good Scripture into bad predictions. We love these guys, and Bob personally (and literally) sat at the feet of Chuck Smith and Chuch Missler for scores of Bible studies. But clearly, their dying of old age indicates that they got something very wrong in their interpretation of the headlines and the Scriptures...   - Tim LaHaye (90, 1926 - 2016, Left Behind Series) - Chuck Smith (86, 1927 - 2013, founder, Calvary Chapel) - Chuck Missler (83, 1934-2018, end times teacher) - Harold Camping (92, 1921-2013, founder, Family Radio) - Hal Lindsey (91, b. 1929, Late Great Planet Earth) - Noah Hutchings (92, 1922-2015, six decades on Southwest Radio Church) - Irvin Baxter (75, 1945-2020, Endtime Ministries) as described by B.E. - John Hagee (81, b. 1940; recent error: Blood Moons) - Jack Van Impe (88, 1931-2020; had celebrated his 60-year anniversary with Rexella; began in ministry in 1948 and as a preacher in 1952). See Enyart discuss all this with WND readers.  * 2020 Update: * List of the Erroneous Calculated Dates: Here's an example of the never-ending, and so far, universally incorrect, calculating of end times dates by a Christian author, and then another example by the leader of the Jehovah's Witnesses...   * Remember When -- The Dates & The Headlines: Countless Christians were told that the following dates were significant because they represented end-times markers. Thousands of news headlines were misinterpreted prophetically to arrive at these erroneous dates. Of course the Lord will return one day, and hopefully, soon. But confused teachers used events and dates like these to confuse others. - 1850 for the ascent of the Anti-Christ (calculated by London's protestant scholar Robert Fleming, V.D.M in 1701 by adding to 608 A.D. the "1260 days" of Revelation, converting each day to a year - 1948 the nation of Israel is reconstituted in the Middle East - 1957 European Common Market (ECM) established with six nations - 1973 The ECM added three more nations, prophecy teachers added this up to Daniel's "ten toes" - 1980 In the decade of the 80s, three more nations joined the ECM, still adding up to Daniel's ten toes - 1993 The European Union (EU) was formed with 12 nations - 1995 Ten Nation European Alliance (WEU) formed, claimed to be Daniel's 10-toed prophecy - 2001 Islamic terrorist attack on America, claimed to represent the end times - 2010 Ten Nation European WEU decides to disband claimed as major fulfillment of prophecy - 2011 Ten Nation WEU officially disbands and absorbed into the EU - 2016 The now 28-nation EU begins to unravel with the UK's Brexit and Italy's no-confidence vote- 2020 With the U.K. officially out, the EU is down to 27 nations.* Counting Backwards From 2020: It's been... 1,520 years since A.D. 500, the year when Irenaeus, et al, predicted that Jesus would return 1,220 years since A.D. 800, the year when Sextus Julius Africanus predicted Armageddon 1,020 years since A.D. 1000, the year when Pope Sylvester II, et al, predicted the beginning of the end 176 years since 1844 when the early 7th Day Adventists believed Christ would have returned 170 years since 1850 when Robert Fleming, writing in 1700 A.D., calculated the anti-Christ's reign 142 years since 1878 when Jehovah's Witnesses said would be the last year for the church on earth 116 years since 1914 when the Jehovah's Witnesses said it would be the end 99 years since 1921 when the JW's said millions now living will never die 84 years since 1936, the year when Herbert W.

The guy, Jim from Columbus, Ohio asked me, "Bob, where do you stand on the Ebola virus?" I answered, "I'm against it." Looking at the news events listed above, when they occurred popular prophecy teachers claimed they represented end times prophecies. Well, it's been a long time since. The "end times" is a lot longer than any of them would have predicted. As we say at Denver Bible Church to those misinterpreting last-days prophecies, "From now only, will you only tell us about the Last Minutes?" Afterall, the most famous end-times teachers are all dying of old age and these last-days interpretations have been around for more than half a century. * The Bible shows the Timing of Christ's Return has Changed: You can link directly to this section as kgov.com/second-coming-timing or kgov.com/second-coming-timing-has-changed.

Acts 4:34-35; 5:1-2 (this behavior, appropriate at the time, changed after Paul's Acts 9 conversion when God grafted in the Gentiles) - Christ's Soon Return Permeated His Teachings: "Sell what you have and give alms" Luke 12:33; "And everyone who has left houses... or lands, for My name's sake..."

Luke 13:7-9 - Daniel's Seventieth Week Suspended: The prophet Daniel's 490-year prophecy (Dan. 9:24-27) of 483 years between the command to rebuild Jerusalem (by Artaxerxes Neh. 2:1-8) until the execution of the Messiah, followed by the next seven years that were to be the Great Tribulation (Mat. 24:15; Mark 13:14); but Israel rejected their resurrected Messiah so as God had warned (Jer. 18:9-10) He changed what He had prophesied for them by postponing both the tribulation and the Kingdom it would usher in. - After the Cross Ten Signs of the Tribulation Were Evident: See chapter 9 of kgov.com/the-plot for details; in the year beginning with Christ's death the signs of the Great Tribulation that occurred included the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, signs and wonders, earthquakes, believers beaten by councils, the laying on of hands to imprison, arrests leading to occasion for testimony, martyrdom, expectation of an abbreviated end times and of the soon appearance of signs in the sun, moon, and stars, irresistible wisdom displayed. - Fulfillment of Prophetic Seven Feasts of Israel Suspended: God ceased the apparent fulfillment of the Feasts of Israel on their very calendar days, for Jesus died on the day the Jews killed the Passover lamb; He was in the tomb during Unleavened Bread; raised on Firstfruits; gave the Holy Spirit on Pentecost; and He "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14, with the Greek saying not "dwelt" but "tabernacled"), likely fulfilling that feast; but the remaining two feasts including Trumpets are yet awaiting fulfillment, as God postponed His prophetic plan for Israel.    - Jesus Hardly Spoke About the End Times Until Just Before the Cross: The apocalyptic Olivet Discourse happened when Jesus said to His disciples, "You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified." Mat. 26:1-2 - God the Son Didn't Know the Timing: and neither did God the Holy Spirit but only the Father, for it is in His purview to decide when Jesus shall return. Just Google: open theism verses, and see Category 15, which includes the following: The Holy Spirit, third person of the Godhead, did not know something that the Father knew, namely, the planned day and hour of the Second Coming Mark 13:32 and of course that lack of knowledge did not negate His divinity for the quantitative attribute of omniscience is not like the absolute qualitative attributes; likewise, no man, no angel, nor even the Son knew, for "of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only" of the persons of the Godhead, with even the Second Person not knowing the timing of the Second Coming which was in the purview of the Father alone Mat. 24:36. - Israel's End Times Signs Not Relevant Today: When the Lord temporarily set aside Israel's Kingdom and their covenant of circumcision and grafted in the Body of Christ with its covenant of grace (this is not replacement theology), God's new sign, so to speak, of the end of the Body of Christ's time on earth is the "fullness of the Gentiles", whatever He means by that, be it a billion believers to populate heaven, or the Gospel preached worldwide, or holiness within the Body, etc.; so that, when "the fullness of the Gentiles has come in" then God will graft Israel back in again, "for God is able to graft them in again", and thereby resume the countdown on their end times calendar; Rom. 11:11-32. - To Read More about the Changed Date of the Second Coming: Click to get a copy of Bob Enyart's life's work, The Plot: An Overview of the Bible is the Key to its Details and review the list of 33 Categories of more than 500 scriptures at opentheism.org/verses. * Tonight on Denver's 7News: Bob Enyart said on 7News to Colorado's ABC audience that Christians who say that the death penalty is immoral are unwittingly accusing God the Father of being unjust, for He required a payment of death to pay for the sin of the world.

Bob appreciates Cahn's warning to an America defiant of God but Enyart disagrees with Cahn's claim that 9/11 was a specific sign from God. See just below Bob's notes regarding his reasons for disagreeing with Jonathan Cahn's claims of a specific divine message in the events following the Attack on America.   * Rejecting The Harbinger's Claim of Divine Signs: (This is not meant to be harsh, for we love and appreciate Jonathan Cahn, and though airing a daily radio talk show, we don't want to be like David who became battle hardened; yet, this is meant to be direct.) The last nine minutes of audio on today's program were recorded twelve years ago at an End Times seminar conducted in Winona Lake, Indiana only four days after Sept. 11, 2001. Bob Enyart predicted that sincere Christian authors (who love and honor God and preach the Gospel) would find a Bible passage with a few uncanny similarities to 9/11, and so would claim that therefore Al Qaeda's attack on America was a sign from God. Consider Jonathan Cahn's few parallels (which get repeated often) from Isaiah 9:10 to 9/11 events. In the audio from September 2001, Bob Enyart illustrates how easy this is to claim fulfillment of a prophetic pattern when, compared to the Harbinger, he quoted more, and more significant, 9/11 parallels, not from Isaiah but from Revelation 17 and 18. As one small example, the greater parallel between Scripture and 9/11 is not a sycamore and a fir tree, but Washington DC and NYC debating the patent rights of murdered unborn children so that "the merchants of the earth" can buy and sell the "the bodies and souls of men." So Bob intentionally misinterpreted the Scriptures to show how easily (and even innocently) this is done, and while Cahn's parallels get to select from events over a period of years, Bob's many more prophetic parallels were all fulfilled on the very day of September 11th. Harbinger Expert Critic says: "Bob, I read your analysis this morning and it was dead right on every point." - David James, 3/24/13 The Internet hasn't existed for 2,700 years. Jonathan Cahn's nine harbingers are based on a quote in the Bible of men defiant against God, who, after suffering God's judgment, repeated in utter ignorance, "The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn stone; the sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars" (Isaiah 9:10). If the web had been forever, a Google search would probably return countless pages recording, after attacks, utterances throughout Judeo-Christian history of that quote. About 18 minutes into the program, Jonathan Cahn says about Isaiah 9:10 and the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor that back then, "you don't have anyone quoting the Scripture of judgment." Perhaps, perhaps not. In the very center of the Internet's page of Pearl Harbor Quotes we read Isaiah 9:10, not in the NIV or NASB, because those versions were translated later, but in the King James Version. Cahn chose to present his message in a book of fiction. Not unlike the folks who think Star Wars is real, for many readers, Cahn's literary device blurs the distinction between truth and fiction. The requisite suspension of disbelief necessary to enjoy the elements of the story, a wary reporter, a surprised liaison, and an unnamed prophet with curious ancient seals, works to bias the reader who emerges from the novella into the real world lacking the desire to expend the mental energy necessary for an objective consideration of The Harbinger's theological claims. The first harbinger (i.e., a seal in the book's metaphor) is the 9/11 attack. Cahn says at about 6:30 into today's program that a first attack is a sign of God's judgment and that God's protection will be further lifted if the nation does not repent. Bob suggests to Cahn that not unlike 9/11, Pearl Harbor suffered 3,000 casualties, about 2,400 of whom were killed. We live here, today, and so we are inclined to discount far-flung attacks over the last 2,700 years and view the world, unsurprisingly, through our own eyes. Bob mentioned to Jonathan that years ago he had interviewed the beloved Hal Lindsey who, through a similar here-and-now-centered interpretation, suggested that the Second Coming would be in 1988. (This was not unlike superstitious European Christians who would panic when pestilence coincided with Halley's Comet, nor unlike those who thought Jesus would return on the Y2K computer bug, nor unlike those who thought that lightning strikes signified judgment from Zeus, until that is lightning rods ruined the divine aim. Superstition, sadly, is as rampant among Christian authors as it was among the Greeks who worshiped the pantheon.) We interpret our own suffering as though it were of biblical proportion, as Cahn said at about 21:40, that in addition to the harbingers (signs), America has suffered "economic collapse". Well, collapse means different things to different people. Within 48 hours of our prerecorded interview, Dow Jones reached an all time high, and at the very minute today's show began, Reuters reported, "Housing starts point to growing economic momentum." Compare that just to even recent decimation by tsunami, typhoon, earthquake, and to the countries bankrupted, the millions slaughtered, and tens of millions ruined by war, and even to the billions in Asia and Africa who've truly suffered debilitating poverty. That's economic collapse, whereas if God brought economic sanctions against America, it wouldn't look like a downturn, and it wouldn't primarily hurt the poor and middle class. Given the freedom to be arbitrary, fans of Nostradamus (who apparently predicted the second coming, to America in the year 2013, of Twinkies and Ding Dongs) and Jean Dixon point to fulfillment of prophecy. Ironically, Isaiah 9:10 itself is not even a prophecy, so any claimed fulfillment is metaphorical at best. However, The Harbinger itself fulfilled an actual prophecy, uttered in the very week of 9/11, at that End Times seminar, which predicted that such books would be written :). And I'm not even a prophet. Over a million Americans were killed in the civil and world wars. Weren't those lives worth a Bible verse? Around 25 minutes into the program, Bob agrees with The Harbinger, in that "for Israel, being a prophet was a matter of life or death" (p. 9). Enyart then explains that today, God has withdrawn His accountability system for prophets. Jonathan did not anticipate Bob's statement that stoning a false prophet to death is no longer commanded, nor permitted, by God, as the New Testament says, that with "the priesthood being changed [by Christ], of necessity there is also a change of the law" (Hebrews 7:12). So today, while Christians tend to forget and forgive (often without even admitting) the false prophecies of their brethren, unbelievers have long memories and stumble over our false prophecies and prophetic interpretations.     The actual parallel between Israel and America, regarding 732 B.C. and 2001, is only thematic, not divinely particular. When a nation ignores God, she becomes increasingly weak and vulnerable to destruction from within and without. Contrary to The Harbinger's emphasis (p. 19), this is true for Israel and America and for Italy, Germany, and Argentina. Christians disagree terribly over interpretation of the plain words in the Bible. Realize how loose our interpretations will then be of events! What is the meaning of a flood? An earthquake? An attack? It is God! Or perhaps it's the devil! Or was it, in fact, Osama bin Laden? Jesus disapproved of such interpretations of current events in Luke 13:1-5, and when Enyart debated D. James Kennedy's Professor of New Testament from Knox Theological Seminary, this very passage, regarding 2,000-year-old headlines of murder and a fallen tower, was central to the matter. The Harbinger makes the important observation that, "during national judgment, both the righteous and the wicked perish" (p. 30). Then Cahn writes, thankfully, that God was not with Al Qaeda, but he claimed this as part of the prophetic pattern, in that, God was not with Israel's enemies who attacked her. But again this is arbitrary, for there were plenty of times when God Himself orchestrated the attacks on Israel in punishment for her national adultery. Yet it is wrong to extrapolate from those extraordinary biblical interventions that, therefore, God is the one who orchestrates a molester's rape of a child, or the Holocaust. Attributing to God the designs of the wicked comes close to blasphemy, except that it is done in ignorance, although often, through negligent ignorance. Jonathan Cahn says, rightly I assert, that God was not with Al Qaeda, yet because of a degree of superstition, he then interprets defiance against Islamic terrorism as defiance against God. Is Israel defiant today against God? Yes. (Sadly, like America they are a nation of socialists who defend abortion and homosexuality.) Does that mean that Israel's defiance of Hamas is inherently condemnable? Of course not. Cahn takes a Time magazine reporter's perfectly valid quote as a double entendre, with the entire thrust of the book implying that the defiance is against God, even though it is typically explicitly stated, as in this case, that it is against Islamic terrorists. "Rebuilding Ground Zero was going to be America's statement of defiance," (p. 63, from July 1, 2008) "to those who attacked us."Four days after the attack on American on 9/11, in our End Times seminar at Winona Lake (home of a famous Bible center, Billy Sunday, and a prayer launch pad for Billy Graham's first crusade), I didn't have to stretch the details, as Jonathan does somewhat, to make far greater and more substantive parallels between 9/11 and the book of Revelation. The world trade center, her sins had reached to heaven, the nations, peoples, tongues, and languages, Babylon the great, is fallen, the kings of the earth see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, watching the smoke of her ruin, the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury, her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning, she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her, alas, that mighty city, for in one hour your judgment has come, their commerce has ceased, no merchandising today of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, silk and scarlet, every kind of object, of wood, bronze, iron, and marble, incense, wine and oil, flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, pork bellies, and bodies and souls of men. For in the previous week, the targets of God's wrath, New York and Washington D.C. were debating the patent rights of the tiniest innocent babies, the embryos destroyed so that their bodies could be harvested and sold, by the Israelis, to businesses around the world, while American financial interests were angered that they may not be collecting the royalties they were demanding. And on the Hudson and in the New York harbor, all who travel by ship, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What is like this great city?" Both can't be correct, but either or both, the Harbinger and the Revelation 17-18 prophetic "parallels", could be wrong. As the above paragraph demonstrates, the more powerful and biblically extensive prophetic interpretation of 9/11 is not The Harbinger, but The Revelation. And that one is certainly wrong! For one, I intended it to be wrong. And secondly, if Revelation 18 was being fulfilled before our eyes on September 11, 2001 that would mean that we are now twelve years into Revelation chapter 19, and by now, the Second Coming should have occurred. So if the strong prophetic parallel (Revelation) isn't true, the weak one (Harbinger) probably isn't true either. Allow me to be petty. A sycamore tree and a Norwegian fir (the claimed sixth and seventh signs) do not come close to the extraordinary depth of substance and parallel between 9/11 and Revelation 17 and 18. Besides (and these are insignificant, but mentioned because such trivialities in reverse, are used in The Harbinger to make its point. The World Trade Center wasn't made of bricks. (On the contrary, it is noted for being the first supertall building to be made without masonry.) And yes, (p. 72) New York City and America rebuilt. But so did Berlin. And Rome, one could say. Destroyed cities throughout history rebuilt, with notable exceptions like Nineveh. Isaiah speaks of many sycamores, not one as at the WTC. And as Cahn acknowledges, that tree destroyed on 9/11 had the same name, sycamore, but it was a different kind of tree; in fact, a different species, and a different genus. And a different family, and a different order. If it were much different, it wouldn't be a tree, one could say. (But then again, what couldn't one say?) Isaiah says the Sycamores (plural, not singular) would be cut down (not crushed) and replaced with woods of cedar, not with a single pine tree. (2014 Update: And as the replacement of the tree was a sign of the end times, so was the removal of the tree, after it died, said Cahn.) The Harbinger also embraces the invalid contradiction of freedom yet being forced, justifying this by saying, "It takes two oars to make a boat go straight" (p. 86). Yes, but that boat illustration presents not even a theoretical contradiction, let alone an actual one. And the world isn't going straight, unless we mean straight to hell. Some of the claimed fulfillments of the prophetic pattern are really the same thing, repeated references to the attack itself, and tower falling, and the rebuilding, and the quoting, in hubris, it is true, of Isaiah 9:10 to rebuild, as by one significant government official who was… John Edwards? That disgraced non-official failed vice-presidential candidate. The 8th harbinger, coming with some peculiar justification in that spoken words are invisible, has to do with the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, which is as it should be because D.C. was also a target (although there was no harbinger from Shanksville, Pennsylvania, for that was not an intended target no doubt). A claim repeated about slavery and the civil war is that every drop of shed blood was due to the judgment of God. So then why could the British and much of the world end slavery without a similar judgment? (That could be answered, but would require prophetic interpretations specific to the unique history of each country.) And a biblical hewn stone did not need to be quarried from a mountain, let alone in upstate New York, though that claim adds flavor to the fiction and yet another confirmation of the prophecy! One would think that bureaucracy could not thwart a divine sign. That stone, though, that Jonathan writes so much about, being quarried and celebrated, ended up not as the cornerstone at ground zero but at a suburban office building. For Mayor Bloomberg, et al., changed the One World Trade Center design and diverted one of the harbingers… to Long Island. A few words about Jonathan Cahn. We don't think that we convinced him, nor even gave him pause. Yet, at the same time, we don't think that he loves God any less than we do, nor do we believe that God approves more of us than He does of Cahn. We're just asking God to help us to do our best to rightly divide, and to urge all believers to rightly divide, the Word of Truth. The Ten Commandments judge Roy Moore publicly apologized here on KGOV.com for misinterpreting something as simple as a court ruling. When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the partial-birth abortion "ban", Judge Moore, currently Alabama's chief justice, praised that ruling as a godly pro-life victory. Traveling to Birmingham, Alabama we challenged him to actually read the opinion, and he did, and so admitted that it was the most brutally wicked ruling in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court (and that's saying something). So there's hope for Jonathan too :) The great upside of Cahn's book is its theme, which is the nation's desperate need to turn to God and the horror of losing His blessing, for as Jonathan quoted a Bible commentary, "The defiance of God shuts out immeasurable good" (p. 76). The Harbinger's downside though, is that many of its Christian readers will become even more superstitious. -Pastor Bob Enyart Denver Bible Church (See also Bob's Writings at KGOV.com/writings, and Bob's End Times seminar, and his super fun verse-by-verse study of the Book of Revelation!)  Today's Resources: Bob Enyart's Last Days Bible Studies!

[00:30] RINO Senate Republicans Are Too Weak to Fight (24 minutes) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that is waiting on Senate approval contains everything Republicans wanted—even though much of the bill contradicts what Republicans are supposed to stand for. Senate Republicans are too weak to fight against this bill because it would mean going against the establishment. This same weak attitude was evident in the Worldwide Church of God after Herbert W. Armstrong's death, when most of the ministry and members just went along with unbiblical doctrinal changes. [24:20] Twitter Files 8.0 Protect Barack Obama (31 minutes) The eighth batch of “Twitter Files” shows that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of State (DOS) have been working directly with Twitter executives since 2017 to use the social media platform as an intelligence apparatus. Someone wants us to think that this collusion between the “deep state” and Big Tech started only after Barack Obama left the White House. In fact, as Conservative Treehouse writer Mark Bradman noted, “This release is so over-the-top-obvious in its intent to protect the Obama legacy, that the nature of the DOS/DOD admissions within it become almost secondary.”

He was a humanitarian, educator and leader. Heads of state around the world called him an unofficial ambassador for world peace. His name was Herbert W. Armstrong. His legacy and special history with the tiny nation of Israel continue today.

[00:30] Worldwide Energy Crisis (48 minutes) Modern society is completely reliant on energy sources like oil, natural gas, nuclear power and, to an extent, solar and wind power. As prices increase worldwide and the Northern Hemisphere heads into winter, many nations are facing the imminent reality of energy shortages. Energy is a significant driver of inflation, which is also extremely high. In the United States, although gas prices have temporarily dropped, increasing costs of goods and services are still impacting everyday Americans. Although Britain and America are sitting on huge energy reserves, we will not use these God-given resources because of our political obsession with climate change. What is really causing this worldwide energy crisis? To understand the real source of the mounting curses afflicting the world today, we must look to Bible prophecy. [48:55] 'No More Delay' (6 minutes) Near the end of his life, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote regarding the seventh resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire: “For some reason, God has been holding back the fulfillment of this prophecy—but it is certain to occur!” As Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry explains in The Little Book, God is no longer holding it back. We are now in the time of “no more delay” (Revelation 10:5-6), and world events are moving at lightning speed.

[00:30] From ‘Russia, Russia, Russia' to ‘Insurrection, Insurrection, Insurrection' (6 minutes) On his show last Friday, Bill Maher asked his guests, Hollywood activist Rob Reiner and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, if it was “appropriate” for the media to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election. Reiner avoided the question, and Klobuchar responded by immediately referencing the so-called “armed insurrection.” The real insurrection was carried out—right out in the open—by Marxist Democrats, the corporate media, Big Tech and the FBI. [6:45] Timothy Thibault Leaves Office (18 minutes) Yesterday, lead FBI Washington Field Office Special Agent in Charge Tim Thibault was removed from FBI headquarters, although it is unclear if he resigned, was fired, or retired. Thibault has been under fire for his deep involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop coverup before the 2020 election. Thibault also said it was the FBI's responsibility to expose voter fraud even as he was actively working to swing the election in Joe Biden's favor. [24:30] Tomorrow's News Today (16 minutes) In July, Claremont Institute chairman Tom Klingenstein said, “Trump was born for the current crisis—the life and death struggle against a totalitarian enemy I call woke communism.” All the way back in 1968, Herbert W. Armstrong exposed the Communist movement in America, which “operates in ways most people do not recognize.” Today, we are seeing the results of the Communist infiltration he warned about decades ago. [40:55] Be Keyed Up! (15 minutes) We live in an age of passivity, when the few who are not passive are only passionate about evil. Instead of surrendering to the spirit of apathy, the Bible exhorts us to fulfill every responsibility and opportunity with our full energy, keyed up for what we can contribute. God takes no pleasure in someone who draws back. Instead, we should strive to have a step-forward attitude and put our hearts into everything we do in service to God.

[00:30] Media Fabrication Machine Churns Out More Lies (15 minutes)U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland refused to provide details about the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid during his brief press conference yesterday. A couple of hours later, someone inside the Department of Justice leaked to the Washington Post that the FBI was apparently looking for documents related to nuclear weapons. The media narrative earlier this week was all about retrieving essential historical documents for the National Archives; today it is about Trump stealing nuclear documents. If that is truly the case, why did the FBI wait 18 months to get them back? We are watching this continually evolving narrative collapse in real time. [15:45] Thou Shalt Not Criticize the FBI (16 minutes)Regardless of the FBI and DOJ's obviously politicized actions, you are not allowed to criticize these agencies. During Garland's press conference, he decried the “recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors.” Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray insisted that under his direction, the FBI focuses on avoiding “even the appearance of bias or lack of objectivity.” Meanwhile, Dr. Fauci recently stated in all seriousness that he is a symbol of integrity and truth. The Bible tells us to judge by fruits—and the fruits of these officials are rotten to the core. [31:55] Communist Infiltration (19 minutes)Last night, Jesse Watters exposed Paul Pelosi Jr.'s shady business dealings with southeast Asian companies, dubbing him “PG-13 Hunter Biden.” Pelosi Jr. traveled with his mother Nancy on her recent southeast Asia tour; many of the stops on her trip were conveniently in countries where Pelosi Jr. has lucrative business connections. As former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Terry Turchie stated on Watters's show, “We may very well have our own highest level of government penetrated by Chinese agents.” America's leaders are dragging the country into communism, exactly as Herbert W. Armstrong warned as early as the 1940s. [51:05] E-Mail Feedback (5 minutes)

[00:30] Drive-by Media Dishonesty (38 minutes)The establishment media is rejoicing (again) that “the walls are closing in” on Donald Trump, but the facts tell a different story. Just the News reported that Donald Trump completely cooperated with a grand jury subpoena for documents two months ago, allowing FBI agents and a DOJ lawyer to search his presidential records storage locker in Mar-a-Lago. Mr. Trump even added a stronger padlock to the locker after the FBI recommended it. Trump told them, “Look, whatever you need, let us know.” Meanwhile, FBI Director Christopher Wray sidestepped questions regarding the possibility of FBI agents planting evidence during the Mar-a-Lago raid. [38:45] Exposing Obama? (17 minutes)What were FBI agents really looking for in the Mar-a-Lago raid? Conservative Treehouse author Mark Bradford speculates that they were searching for declassified documents about Barack Obama's spying campaign against Trump, which the DOJ and FBI have kept from being released. Paul Sperry made the same point on Twitter earlier this week, which resulted in his account being suspended. The devil hates exposure and so do his agents! This situation has many parallels to the Philadelphia Church of God's court battle for Herbert W. Armstrong's books and booklets, when the Worldwide Church of God tried to prevent us from keeping documents that exposed them.
