During that podcast interview, Pastor Gunden claimed that prior to 2020 the issue of disobeying tyrants was "not something that anyone ever talked about...as if this could ever happen in our lifetime."

John MacArthur said it was an “easy call” to shut down the assembly of the saints. Paradoxically, he also claimed that the assembly of the saints is “the most essential of all things.” Then, for months, MacArthur sent a message to his church (and the watching world) that the church was closed.

Those words were part of "The End of Christendom" mini-conferen...
