In this eye-opening episode of Truth Matters, “America's Secret Beginnings - Part 4,” Wendy Goubej and MacKenzie Drebit reveal how the Jesuit order’s political influence continues to shape world events—fulfilling Bible prophecy right before our eyes. From presidents and prime ministers seeking guidance from the pope to intelligence agencies linked to Jesuit institutions, the evidence shows a deliberate effort to restore the union of church and state that once ruled during the Dark Ages. Even America’s founders, who warned about the Jesuits’ influence, would be shocked to see how their warnings have become reality in today’s politics, education, and media. The discussion exposes how spiritual power works behind the scenes to guide governments and shape public opinion. Drawing from historical letters, reformers’ writings, and modern news, Wendy and MacKenzie trace how Rome’s influence has quietly spread through political alliances and global movements that seem harmless on the surface. Yet Scripture gives a clear warning: “Come out of her, My people” (Revelation 18:4). The same power that once silenced freedom is working again to control the conscience. Truth Matters calls viewers to wake up and study these issues for themselves. Are we watching the rise of the image to the beast? How close are we to the final crisis the Bible describes?

In this thought-provoking episode of Truth Matters, "America's Secret Beginnings - Part 3," Wendy Goubej and MacKenzie Drebit, joined by research assistant Jacob Downs, take a deep dive into a rarely discussed chapter of American history: the Founding Fathers’ warnings about the Jesuits. Were the Jesuits involved in shaping the early foundations of America? What did leaders like John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Marquis de Lafayette really say about their influence? As Wendy and MacKenzie unpack these personal letters and historical records, shocking insights emerge—revealing how men like Adams viewed the restoration of the Jesuit order as “a step back from light toward darkness.” The episode also explores the Jesuit vow to destroy popular governments and restore monarchies while subtly shaping public opinion and controlling the press. Even America’s founders noticed eerie patterns: three of the strongest voices opposing Jesuit influence all died on July 4, two on the same day in the same year. Could this be coincidence—or a message hidden in plain sight? Join Wendy, MacKenzie, and Jacob as they reveal how Jesuit strategies—from secret treaties and the Congress of Verona to infiltration of education, media, and government—have shaped history and echo into today’s world. Understand the hidden forces that have long challenged freedom and liberty of conscience. Watch now, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to uncover more hidden truths on Truth Matters!

In this compelling episode of Truth Matters, Wendy Goubej and MacKenzie Drebit tackle a chilling question: What if the very forces that once plunged Europe into darkness are quietly shaping America today? Wherever the Jesuits gained power, knowledge declined, and freedom gave way to control. Could the same pattern be repeating itself in our modern world? From the Roman architecture of Washington D.C. to the growing influence of secret orders and religious authority, traces of the old empire’s system still linger beneath the surface. The Bible warns of a nation that would form an image to the beast—a union of church and state reflecting Rome’s tyranny. Could this prophecy be unfolding before our eyes? Beneath the façade of patriotism and progress lies a deeper battle for the soul of a nation. What does history reveal about the Jesuit agenda, and what might it mean for America’s future? Discover how ancient systems of control are being revived in a modern society that believes itself free. Please Watch, Like, and Share this eye-opening episode today!

The fact that pilgrims settled America because they were fleeing religious persecution in Europe seems to have been forgotten by Christian nationalists today. But it’s important to remember that Protestant Christianity, which embraces liberty of conscience, and republicanism, which safeguards personal freedoms, are the two horns of the lamb-like beast of Revelation 13, the prophetic symbol of fledgling America. In their quest to show that America is transitioning now from the lamb-like beast to the dragon-speaking beast, Truth Matters hosts examine the overlooked but purposeful influences of the Catholic Church on America as it was growing into a nation. They show from historical quotes that the Papacy is against Biblical Christianity and republicanism, and that it teaches that the right to religious freedom is for Catholics only. Who is behind the loss of personal freedoms in America today? Why is religious liberty fatal to the Catholic Church? What are the results of America’s secret Catholic beginnings?

Find out why the rapid rise of Christian nationalism is not the good thing that many Christians believe it is.
