And in that last link I included a long article on the real history of Billy Graham, and it&#8217;s discouraging how many Christian pastors still promote Billy Graham as a Christian hero, especially when his crusades referred new converts to local Roman Catholic Churches and other liberal denominations who when boiled down deny Christ. But when the Rockefellers support your TV time to garner support for their cold war enterprise, well you know who&#8217;s operative he was as it was all a scheme to get men under the control of false church leaders for political purposes. And if you&#8217;re not clued in on Freemasonry, when you finally make it to level 33 in their secret society, that&#8217;s when you learn you serve Satan (you should have figured it out by then). And also why we see 33 pop up in a lot of propaganda and events, probably as a sign to other members. So beware Billy Graham, his ministry and son along with their magazine and other materials, as he was no Christian hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"John MacArthur Responds to Billy Graham&#039;s &quot;Disastrous Belief&quot;\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JgmKtAE1REs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/billy-graham-permanently-commemorated-us-capitol-rare-honor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/billy-graham-permanently-commemorated-us-capitol-rare-honor\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub_divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_df62d5a0-2655-44d0-aac1-48f8bbae5298\"><div class=\"ub_divider_wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; margin-bottom: 2px; width: 100%; height: 2px; \" data-divider-alignment=\"center\"><div class=\"ub_divider_line\" style=\"border-top: 2px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p> By Warner Todd Huston<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rev.
