Tony Alamo Program 272: Roman Canon Law, the Wisdom of Proverbs, and a Warning to Bill Clinton Over Waco World pastor Tony Alamo devotes program 272 of his teaching series to Roman canon law and what he calls Satan's seat in Rome, the wisdom of the Book of Proverbs, and a pointed rebuke of former President Bill Clinton over Waco, with scripture readings led by his co-host Sharon Alamo. Program 272 Opens With Roman Canon Law Tony Alamo greets listeners as world pastor, opening part 170 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, program 272. He tells listeners Sharon will give four ways to request a free copy, along with a free Messiah book, other literature, or a Bible for anyone who cannot afford one. He turns to his recurring theme, comparing Roman canon law, which he says the United States adopted upon joining the United Nations, with the law of God, calling the two exact opposites. He argues that joining the World Council and the United Nations cost America its wealth and manufacturing, transferring it to Japan, its former World War II enemy. He places the seat of Satan, whom he calls a great red dragon, in Rome, the city of seven hills, and says Rome itself authored democracy, a system he calls rule by an untrustworthy mob, no better than the crowd God drowned in Noah's flood while sparing only eight people. Democracy, Rome, and the Generals Removed From Power Alamo continues his critique of one-world government, warning that God scattered the nations' languages precisely to prevent them combining under a single law originating from Satan's seat in Rome. He claims that during World War II, conspirators secretly built NATO, brought in Russia, and removed the two generals, Patton and MacArthur, he says could have won the war outright, installing General Eisenhower, whom he calls Casper Milquetoast, in their place because Eisenhower favored NATO and one-world government. He tells the congregation he watched a History Channel program confirming democracy originated in Rome, the city of seven mountains, and argues the media functions as the mouth of Satan, shaping opinion until the mob believes lies about Jesus having relationships with women or never truly dying on the cross. He insists God alone should govern, citing Moses as ruler of both church and state, and says he supports dictatorship only when God is the dictator. A Prayer and Jesus Loves Me From the Life Choir Alamo leads the studio in prayer, asking the Father to open hearts and minds so listeners reject what he calls the abominations taught by Satan's government, church, and media, and prays that the 144,000 Jews he expects to be saved receive God's mark before the four angels of the end times destroy the earth. The congregation answers amen. He then teaches that Jesus, as the Word of God, embodies wisdom, power, and mercy, tying the familiar song Jesus Loves Me to that idea before introducing a recording of the Life Choir performing it under the direction of arranger HB Barnum, whom he calls one of the top five arrangers and producers in the world. During and after the performance, Alamo interjects short exhortations about the Word of God leading believers into heaven, telling listeners to raise their hands and praise the Lord for His power, wisdom, and knowledge. Colossians, Proverbs, and the Hidden Treasures of Wisdom Alamo brings in his co-host, Sharon Alamo, to read Colossians chapter 2, verse 3, walking her line by line through its description of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ, and teaching that love means keeping God's commandments rather than affection or physical intimacy. He turns to the Book of Proverbs, explaining that its key word is wisdom, tracing it to Christ as described in Proverbs chapter 8, and crediting Solomon, whom he calls the principal author, with 333 Old Testament prophecies pointing toward Jesus. He describes Proverbs as God's practical instruction for relating to God, to parents, to children, and to neighbors, and argues temporal life is not real life until surrendered to the Lord. He also mentions his own literature titled The True Believer's Sabbath, teaching that every day, not just one day a week, is Sabbath rest for a born-again Christian, since Christ said the Sabbath was made for man. Solomon's Wisdom, Sin, and Unconditional Love Rejected Alamo continues teaching that Solomon asked God for wisdom rather than riches and became the wisest man in the world until he disobeyed the Lord's instruction to marry only godly women, falling into idolatry in his later years. He warns the same fate can befall anyone who grows careless, insisting love for God is conditional, not unconditional as he says many preachers falsely claim. He rejects the idea that a believer can keep sinning, naming lying, stealing, and sexual sin, and says preachers who promise otherwise are weak and destined for the lake of fire alongside those they mislead. Sharon then reads from Proverbs chapter 8, and Alamo interprets each line as wisdom, meaning Jesus, calling out to sinners in the highest places and at the city gates. He describes his own appearance, joking that his sunglasses, worn because of glaucoma, make some think he resembles the Mafia rather than a conventional preacher. A Warning to Clinton, a Testimony, and a Closing Prayer Alamo turns his warning toward former President Bill Clinton, referencing a news article in which Clinton reportedly called sending troops to Waco his worst mistake, and tells Clinton that what happened there was sin, not a mistake, naming Janet Reno alongside him and urging both to repent and be washed in the blood of Jesus. Running low on time, he has Sharon read a testimonial from a listener named Brother Martin in San Diego, California, describing his eight-year-old son's recovery from a serious virus in Mexico after prayer with the ministry's prayer-line volunteer, Brother Rick. Alamo credits the healing to prayer and invites listeners with illnesses to call or write for prayer. Sharon then reads from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, and Alamo leads the congregation in a spoken sinner's prayer confessing faith in Jesus's death and resurrection. Sharon closes with the ministry's website, Texarkana post office box, phone, and fax numbers before Alamo signs off performing his recording You Can't Take It with You.
