Hi, Glenn.

It's great to be with you again.

Catechon.

Catechon.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, it's a Greek term, actually, and it's used by the Apostle Paul in a letter he wrote to the Thessalonians.

And he's describing he who restrains or he who's holding back.

And so, you know, it's called the restrainer.

So that's what it technically means.

And what he's referring to is that the restrainer, the catacomb, is who or what holds back the man of sin from being fully revealed.

And so the assumption is made that the catacomb or the restrainer is a force for good and it's there to keep evil in check.

But apparently, and I just found this out last week, too, when I read the article by Mr. Morrow, that Alexander Dugan believes that the West, I think we can include Zionism and Jews in that, that they're the evil in the world that has to be restrained.

And so he is apparently applying the role of catacomb, the restrainer, to Russia, to his vision of what Russia should be.

that they are a God-ordained instrument who, with Islam as an ally, that they're in the world to overcome the evil as he sees it, that is the West and the Jews, etc., etc.

So that's where the idea comes from.

Well...

Just my opinion, I guess, is that a lot of Christians just really don't know what the

A lot of people don't take the time to study it.

A lot of people regurgitate theology.
