By Billy Graham converses with Constantine [Kedrov]
By Billy Graham they call the confessor of America. Millions of people listen to its sermons in all corners of the world. Now and in Russia. the 16th number it arrived into the editorial staff “of Izvestia”. In the office of editor in chief the conversation, which anticipates the appearance of the Evangelical preacher before the multithousand audience on the stadium “Olympic”, was tied.
CEDARS. My questions will concern the theological problems, which in Russia now disturb very many. It will not even exaggeration say that in this country, where Christianity exists 1000 years, religious questions are sometimes more important than questions political. America also arose as the religious country. When 200 years ago pilgrims gave oath to assemble Christian state, then this was approximately the same situation, as 1000 years ago in Kiev, when prince Vladimir accepted baptism and abolished the capital punishment. It is time to sum up the sums. 200 years of the history of the USA, 1000 years of the history of Russia and Russia, and we increasingly with the same problems: the cult of violence, the heathen cult of the state above the right of personality, suppression by the state of rights and freedoms, given to man by god. What you do think about this strange tragic fate of Christianity in the history?
Graham. This was predicted By [iisusom] Christ. Christ so said that such times will come. If you want to read something more contemporary than the fresh last release of newspaper, then can take gospel from [Matfeya] - 24- yu head, from stamp - 13th head, from the pommel - 21- yu head. In these chapters Of [iisus] he indicates that it will occur, when we approach the culmination apex of history. All this occurs today, before our eyes, and I consider that these events will lead us directly to the arrival Of [tsarstviya] of God here, on the Earth; when all these negative moments and phenomena, which we encounter and encountered, in the past will disappear.
CEDARS. In the mass consciousness they connect the end of the light with the terrible wars. To you one preacher, who promised the end of the light on October 28 already in this month, arrived. This they connect with the flight of asteroid near from the Earth.
Graham. Bible prevents repeatedly about the false prophets. [Iisus] warned us against some of Danish because no one he knows, when this occurs. Only god knows.
And it must say that one additional force acts in entire this context. It acts in all our countries. And this is - devil. And, of course, devilish force - this force is supernatural.
CEDARS. If existence of god many doubt, then in existence of devil even this atheistic country as our, almost no one doubts. But is natural a question, are such the limits of the authority of devil? Where does end its force? My question makes special sense, since many consider, including I that the devil was personified in Stalin, in Hitler, in Mao, and to them similar. Moreover, is serious historical evidence, that Ivan [Groznyy] was by completely by the conscious [dyavolistom], worshipper of the cult of satan, and Stalin was called this [satanista] his teacher and he in many respects to it imitated. And here in connection with this it would be desirable to know, where the force of devil ends. By what force can resist it simple person, the usual reader of our newspaper. What you to it do advise?
Graham. Devil tempted even [Iisusa] itself. Three times in one place, in the desert. [Iisus] never argued with the devil. Never it entered with it into the debates. It altogether only cited the Scripture. So that in the Scripture there is force. And people can cite the Scripture, when devil approaches them with the temptations. And devil, certainly, will run away, as about this it is said in the bible.
But it is necessary to understand, that we do not have answers to all questions about existence of evil and devil. For example, apostle Pavel named this “the secret of evil”. We know on the basis Scripture that there will be the end to the devil and to evil. Great law court will come, and devil will be cast into the lake fiery. His influence will interrupt finally. But to that moment it cannot make anything without consent and assent of god. Because god created at first radiant angel. This was the most excellent angel, who guarded throne God. Its name was [Lyutsifer]. But it rose against the god.
CEDARS. In the limits of one human life the devil can be
