When researching what people truly believe,
one of the better places to find it is wherever they wrote or spoke
to people who were on their side.
That is when they are the most comfortable.
And that is when they let the most important and
personal information slip out.
Another place to find true beliefs is when a person
confides a fact to you, but they have
absolutely nothing to gain by saying it.
It doesn't give them money, power, influence or anything else.
They didn't make it public.
But it didn't make you trust them more
or give them anything, either.
So they had nothing to gain by saying it.
Still, it was something they had to tell someone,
even if nobody else would listen.
Jack told me a number of them.
I will share two of them with you right now.
Would you like to hear two secrets?
Hi, I'm David Daniels from Chick Publications.
Let me start with John Todd.
Those who have seen the Something Funny
About Sinaiticus in the playlist
or some of the vlogs, know that
I don't take research lightly.
My family will tell you, I live research.
I test assumptions and check for data,
pretty constantly.
I never met John Todd.
I only heard what he has said in public.
And all I can say is, I haven't yet found evidence
that what he said was wrong.
In fact, he seems to have known data
that didn't even become moderately public for decades
after he said them.
Some of you have asked me, do you think he did the bad things
they said he did?
I answer this.
Let's say someone knew the things it seems he did.
And he was unafraid to tell those things.
Do you think the powers that be would leave him free
to keep doing it?
Or do you think they would figure a way
to silence him or at least put him away
and prevent him from talking?
Something to think about.
One day John Todd took Jack aside in private,
and told him this.
"The biggest battle of the end of the 20th century
will be the battle for the King James Bible."
John didn't say, "Illuminati."
He didn't say "witchcraft."
He didn't even say "politics" or "one world government"
or "one world religion."
He said, "The biggest battle
of the end of the 20th century will be the battle
for the King James Bible."
And he was right.
The second person was Alberto Romero Rivera,
former Jesuit priest.
There is so much I can say about him.
I've researched more about him, and I've found some things
people may not have seen before.
Unlike some people around today, I actually have his birth certificate.
I also have the letter from the Ministry of Justice of Madrid,
certifying Alberto for a visa.
I have the request from the Latin American Seminary
in San José, Costa Rica, requesting a visa for Alberto.
I have the March 14th 1955 letter
from the 212th Brigade of the Civil Guard,
declaring that Alberto had "good, and moral conduct,
both privately and publicly, and lacks any previous record
for being involved in any social or political situation,"
that exempted him from any military service,
and that gave him permission to move from the Canary Islands
to Costa Rica.
I even have documentation of one mistake Alberto made.
Gary Metz's articles against Alberto
claimed there was a "missing year," after Alberto spoke in Guatemala
and revealed who he was, on page 29 of Alberto.
That's because it wasn't 1965
when he spoke to them.
It was November 20-27, 1966.
He had the proof for years with him, but never bothered
to check it himself.
When he'd finish talking to Jack, he'd wave his hand and say,
"It is done," and walk out of the room.
But here it is.
"Sociedad los Pescadores," Iglesia Evangélica Cinco Calles,
in Guatemala City, November 20-27, 1966,
"Conferenciante Dr. Alberto Rivera."
So I fixed Alberto's error in later printings of the comic,
so it says "Guatemala, Nov. 1966."
So I know a lot more about Alberto.
And once again, I have to tell you,
I never met Alberto.
But I know people who knew Alberto.
And one of the things that Alberto Rivera said,
I disagreed with.
I've disagreed with a few of his opinions.
I've disagreed with a few things he was told or taught.
But I haven't yet found him to be in an error of fact.
Jack told me that Alberto said privately
"The Vatican has spent 2 billion dollars
to create false Bible versions."
Run the numbers, from the 1800s to the present.
Think of all the jobs, companies, corporations, buy-outs,
colleges, books, publishers, translators and
outright Catholic agents working on that task.
That is actually a believable number.
(Look at the vlog, "It's a Job," if you want more information.)
Neither John Todd nor Alberto sold Bibles.
They didn't get any Brownie points for going against the flow
of modern versions.
But both of them found these two facts so important
that they had to say them to Jack, even if no one else
never heard them.
Here they are, one more time.
Back in the 1980s Alberto Rivera to Jack,
"The Vatican has spent 2 billion dollars
to create false Bible versions."
And in the 1970s, John Todd said to Jack:
"The biggest battle of the end of the 20th century
will be the battle for the King James Bible."
Jack knew these things for years.
It fueled his insistence on using the King James in our tracts.
And it helped him to encourage me
to continue studying the King James issue.
You are still seeing the results of continuing research
today.
Slice it however you want.
The fact is, Jack had it right all along.
God bless you, and have a wonderful day.
