In September of 2006, Robert Congdon believed the time had come to expand his ministry to include countries outside of the United Kingdom and the United States. Leaving the American mission organization that he had represented for 10 years and returning to the United States, he began his own independent ministry, Congdon Ministries International, Inc., in January 2007. Dr. Congdon seeks to to bring biblical understanding of the relationship between Israel and the church to church leadership and also to the people in the pews. Through pulpit messages, Bible seminars, and church conferences, he assists the local church, enabling Bible believers to understand and to defend their belief in the Rapture, the coming Tribulation, the Second Coming of Christ, and the 1000-year Millennial rule of Christ upon the earth. This teaching has helped many Christians to better understand the Scriptures and God's plan throughout history.

this is part two of our discussion about issues related to the Roman Catholic Church. But it's not just about the Roman Catholic Church (but that's the focus here), and we'll get into how this goes beyond the Catholic Church. My guest to talk about this is Greg Durel. He's the pastor of Heritage Bible Church of Gretna, Louisiana, and he has a weekday radio ministry that's devoted to educating Catholics in biblical doctrine.

Today and next week we’re going to discuss a number of issues related to the Roman Catholic Church, and my guest to talk about this is Greg Durel. He’s the pastor of Heritage Bible Church of Gretna, Louisiana, and he has a weekday radio ministry that is devoted to educating Catholics in biblical doctrine—biblical doctrine. Greg, like me, grew up a Roman Catholic, so he knows Catholicism experientially as well as from a study of Catholic Church tradition and its dogmas.

In this segment of our program, we are discussing Dave Hunt’s new book Judgment Day! Islam, Israel, and the Nations. Now, Dave, last week we finished chapter one - every chapter that I have seen here is really a stunner, but this one, chapter two, “Hatred’s Final Solution,” is all about anti-Semitism, and for some people, Wait a minute - that happened, that’s gone, that’s history. But boy, it’s on the rise, isn’t it?

Now, why would God bring all nations against Jerusalem and Israel in order to put an end to them?

Not an end to Israel, of course, but an end to these nations. He’s going to punish them. Well, we touched on Joel:3:2 last week or the week before, where God says exactly why He’s going to punish the nations: “I’m going to bring them there, and I will plead with them (which means ‘punish’ them) for two reasons: they have scattered my people around this earth,” number one (well, that’s been going on for centuries). Number two: they have divided my land.” And I won’t go back over that, but for the first time in history, nations of this world have divided the land of Israel.
