00:00:00.000 Clean Slate is an initiative that we're starting, and I ask that you consider joining us.
00:00:04.000 If you go to my Instagram or my Twitter right now, everything is gone.
00:00:07.000 There needs to be a change of course before we get to the point that there's no turning back.
00:00:11.000 A lot of the things that we discuss, the artificial machine would tell you, you don't want to see it.
00:00:15.000 I don't agree.
00:00:16.000 I'm going to see you on the 22nd.
00:00:18.000 Gerald apologizes apologetics.
00:00:26.000 It doesn't mean that!
00:00:29.000 Alright Mud Club, hey, everybody, thank you for joining us for Gerald apologizes, apologetics.
00:00:33.000 It doesn't quite mean what they say that it means.
00:00:36.000 I understand that.
00:00:37.000 They just do that to kind of, I don't know, punk me because we spend all this money on the intros for everybody else, but not for me.
00:00:42.000 That's fine.
00:00:42.000 That's fine.
00:00:43.000 I'll get over it.
00:00:44.000 I'll be okay.
00:00:44.000 Don't worry about me.
00:00:46.000 I had an interesting conversation back in June with our guest today and it was very quick on the show and we started talking about demons and the Mark of the Beast and I was like, huh, that's eschatology.
00:00:57.000 I'm very interested in that.
00:00:58.000 And so Alex Jones, I thought I'd come down here and hang out in your world and we could continue our conversation.
00:01:03.000 I think it literally lasted maybe 60 seconds.
00:01:06.000 And we didn't really get into it a whole lot.
00:01:06.000 On air.
00:01:08.000 Captain Morgan, you are now promoted to Admiral Morgan.
00:01:10.000 Admiral Morgan.
00:01:11.000 Sitting in this chair is a little weird.
00:01:12.000 I mean, it's like, huh, this is kind of a nice place.
00:01:14.000 I like it.
00:01:15.000 I've seen this on the air.
00:01:17.000 I love you and Steven's studio.
00:01:19.000 You've got to get Steven back down there sometime.
00:01:20.000 I know.
00:01:21.000 One of these days we're going to get him in the car.
00:01:22.000 We've done shows out on the street together, but never in the studio.
00:01:25.000 I remember that.
00:01:26.000 You said something about Bumpiss, I believe, being...
00:01:29.000 I actually did throw up, it was so gross.
00:01:32.000 So is it just the smell of that?
00:01:33.000 Yeah, just the smell of it.
00:01:34.000 Or the thought.
00:01:35.000 And I was extremely hungover that day, too, so let's not lie.
00:01:39.000 No, I mean, I'm a layperson when it comes to end-of-the-world type stuff, but I did go to a lot of church, a lot of Sunday school.
00:01:45.000 I have read the Bible quite a bit.
00:01:47.000 I know there's massive amounts of study.
00:01:48.000 I mean, you could have five degrees in it and never know half of it, but my grandfather My mother's father was really heavily into it, studied the Bible, Daniel and Ezekiel and Revelation pretty much like five hours a day.
00:02:00.000 He was really smart and quite the historian.
00:02:04.000 He'd been a successful inventor, a lot of other things.
00:02:07.000 But the last 20 years of his life, he's dedicated to studying the Bible.
00:02:10.000 I remember him like Breaking down the New World Order and global government.
00:02:13.000 They'd have a computer and that would control everybody and you'd have to do what they said or you wouldn't get the mark.
00:02:18.000 He would always explain, you don't just take it and then it's because you've taken it that you're gonna go to hell.
00:02:23.000 It's that taking it you have to submit and worship and follow the whole system.
00:02:27.000 So he would basically rant, kind of like Alex Jones, almost like he was my grandfather.
00:02:30.000 He would look like me.
00:02:33.000 Just about this all the time and I would You'll come and visit him in the summers, and then I moved down there when I was a senior in high school, started hanging out with him and my grandmother almost every week.
00:02:43.000 What years, roughly, what decade was this?
00:02:45.000 I was, I graduated out of high school in 92.
00:02:47.000 Okay.
00:02:48.000 And so I moved here like in 1991.
00:02:52.000 And so my grandparents lived here.
00:02:54.000 Yeah.
00:02:54.000 And he was just really big into eschatology.
00:02:57.000 And so that, I mean, I heard a lot from him.
00:03:00.000 Well, the church used to be really big into it, and that's why I was really asking that.
00:03:03.000 Because back in the 1980s, I mean, there was a lot of fire and brimstone preaching, and a part of that was telling the end of the story.
00:03:08.000 So let me just tell the guys listening and gals right now, we're talking about the end times.
00:03:12.000 So eschatology is kind of the study of the end times.
00:03:14.000 And just so you understand what that is, if Genesis is kind of telling the beginning of the story, which it obviously is, Revelation and some of the prophetic literature leading up to that is really telling you how things come to an end.
00:03:25.000 And some of the things that Alex just said would have just been in the 1960s, 1950s, 40s, 1800s.
00:03:31.000 You're crazy.
00:03:32.000 There's no way any of that stuff could happen, but obviously we see a lot of it happening today, and so people are very interested.
00:03:37.000 It's apocalyptic.
00:03:38.000 Anytime you see a History Channel show that talks about the apocalypse or something like that, people tune in because they're like, oh, there's something that draws us in to want to know a little bit more.
00:03:46.000 And this subject is debated quite a bit, right?
00:03:48.000 We were talking just a second ago about mid-trib, pre-trib, post-trib, no-trib, whatever.
00:03:53.000 There are a lot of different reasons for you to care about this, right?
00:03:57.000 We'll dive into just a very basic framework of what we're talking about, and then we're going to talk about specific segments, specifically 666, the Mark of the Beast, how that's being potentially implemented today, and how you can make sure that you don't accidentally do that.
00:04:10.000 That's kind of the trick to it.
00:04:10.000 You can't.
00:04:12.000 You can't accidentally take the Mark of the Beast, but we're going to hit a few more points.
00:04:15.000 Maybe something that most people don't know is that for every prophecy on the first coming of Christ, which that is the Messiah, that is for the Jews, that's it, right?
00:04:24.000 They were waiting for and looking for and desperately hoping for Messiah to come.
00:04:28.000 For every prophecy on the Bible about Messiah's first coming, there are roughly eight concerning the second coming.
00:04:34.000 There's eight more than the first coming, right?
00:04:38.000 So it's multiple times more mentioned in the Bible and a lot of people don't really take a lot of time to understand those prophecies or to really kind of think through it.
00:04:46.000 They do take time to go, revelation's tough to understand.
00:04:50.000 Revelation's difficult because there's all this imagery that's being used and there's all this flowery language that I don't really understand.
00:04:55.000 And we'll get into why some Christians have a bit of a problem with that.
00:04:59.000 But it's important for you to know because God spent about eight times the time speaking about the second coming than he did the first coming.
00:05:05.000 And obviously the first one was a big deal because it kind of saved people.
00:05:09.000 Without the first coming, the second coming doesn't really quite matter that much because we would all be under judgment and I wouldn't want to be around for that anyway.
00:05:14.000 But I guess my big question, Alex, is Why?
00:05:18.000 What made you start?
00:05:19.000 So you talked about it a little bit.
00:05:20.000 Was your grandfather, you said?
00:05:21.000 Yes.
00:05:22.000 So other than that, was there any influence or was it just your grandfather's influence talking about kind of eschatology that made you dive into it a little bit?
00:05:29.000 Well, I want to be 100% clear.
00:05:31.000 I mean, the New World Order has brought us The end times, and it's proven the Bible's right, so that's why I've gotten way more interested.
00:05:37.000 I mean, growing up, we went to church on Sundays, and then we would have Bible studies a lot of times at the house on Sunday night when my parents led.
00:05:46.000 And I could watch if I wanted to and hang out there if I wanted to.
00:05:49.000 There'd be like 20 people there, but usually there'd be some other kids we'd run around outside.
00:05:52.000 And we went to church on Wednesdays, and We went to a evangelical style, you know, a pretty big church.
00:06:02.000 And so I was just growing up with this as a background.
00:06:05.000 And so it's kind of the back of your head.
00:06:08.000 And then my grandfather, once I moved to Austin, when I was in college, and then, you know, had my job and already on air for a lot of years.
00:06:16.000 He died about 12 years ago, my grandmother about five years ago.
00:06:19.000 He was just constantly saying, watch, this is all going to be fulfilled.
00:06:22.000 And he would get really upset when he'd see these preachers on TV setting a date.
00:06:26.000 He would say, those people are deceived by setting a date.
00:06:29.000 Then when it doesn't happen, that's going to make people fall away.
00:06:31.000 That's a tool of the devil.
00:06:33.000 And he was just really, he said, you know, comes like a thief in the night, no man knoweth, it's Christ at the hour of the return.
00:06:40.000 And so then I've seen the left use that when these preachers get a bunch of attention saying it's this date for like a year that it doesn't happen.
00:06:48.000 Then they say, oh, the Bible's disproven.
00:06:49.000 No, the Bible says no one knows.
00:06:51.000 And if they tell you they know, that person's bad.
00:06:52.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:53.000 So it's all there.
00:06:54.000 And so the older you get, the more you know, you go, this is incredible.
00:06:57.000 I get chills right now.
00:06:58.000 So I want to be clear.
00:06:59.000 I'm not Mr. Preacher, and I'm not holier than thou.
00:07:02.000 I mean, I don't tell lies on purpose, and I don't sell out to evil.
00:07:05.000 But I mean, I made the point about being hungover.
00:07:07.000 That's probably why I was throwing up.
00:07:08.000 I mean, I've got my own issues.
00:07:09.000 I'm not perfect.
00:07:10.000 We all do.
00:07:11.000 I'm not on some high horse.
00:07:12.000 So many people are turned off by the church.
00:07:15.000 Because it's preaching a watered-down Bible, and it's also just attacking people individually instead of showing them the big picture.
00:07:24.000 The devil's real, God's real, you better pick a side.
00:07:26.000 And so that's why I'm so much into end times is...
00:07:30.000 It's here, and it's all being fulfilled, and the globalists are fulfilling it and saying, the future's not human, you will merge the machines, you will submit to all our social credit scores, our ESGs, you'll be tracked in live time, the Bible says everyone worldwide will see the image of the beast, talking to them at once, they'll worship it, that's television, holograms, I mean it's like there's no way John Leal of Patmos 2,000 years ago just made this up.
00:07:56.000 There's no way Daniel just made it up or Ezekiel.
00:07:59.000 And it's just all congruent, proving itself, proving itself, proving itself.
00:08:02.000 And so if someone doesn't have the Holy Spirit of discernment, they read it as a bunch of gibberish.
00:08:07.000 Plus, we're living in the time.
00:08:08.000 You said something so important that I'll shut up for a minute, Gerald.
00:08:11.000 And that is, in the 70s and 80s, I mean, there I was, not just going to our church, but I would also go with my friends to their church.
00:08:19.000 And it was like there were all these movies and films, and people were really awake, and there was going to be a one-world government, and the beast system in Brussels, and a beast computer.
00:08:27.000 It was everywhere.
00:08:28.000 It was everywhere.
00:08:28.000 And then, once the 90s and the 2000s hit, once it all started coming true, the preachers went, whoa!
00:08:34.000 Because it's one thing to say, the Bible says it's coming, and then it's kind of like science fiction and really interesting.
00:08:39.000 But now a lot of the preachers are like, whoa, I'm not going to scare the hell out of people, which is actually we should be celebrating and going, my gosh, God is real.
00:08:47.000 God gave us free will, but God also gave us a cheat sheet.
00:08:47.000 This is a warning.
00:08:50.000 And so like, hey, kids, I want you to pass the test here.
00:08:50.000 Yeah.
00:08:53.000 So if you pay attention, you will.
00:08:55.000 And so this is a big deal.
00:08:56.000 And this is 100% real.
00:08:58.000 And then I think about the experiences I had in Dallas, particularly, and then coming to Austin and then being around Hollywood, Yeah.
00:09:04.000 which I never tried to be in, but it wanted me to be in it.
00:09:06.000 And it was Satanism, Luciferianism, sex parties, the whole nine yards.
00:09:11.000 I never got into rituals, but I was picked up by chicks repeatedly trying to recruit me into things
00:09:16.000 in Dallas and a decade later in Hollywood.
00:09:20.000 Austin's more new agey, not a lot of that here.
00:09:23.000 But that's almost a more creepy form of it.
00:09:25.000 So I've really, you know, I never fell away and said, I denounce God and God isn't real, I'm an atheist.
00:09:31.000 But I mean, I was in points in my life where I wasn't taking drugs really, but I was drinking and a lot of women and on a power trip and really prideful about how, you know, I was, and I'd say I got, I'd say I was kind of corrupt, let's say maybe 14 to about 20.
00:09:47.000 Uh, and then I kind of rediscovered God and then the Holy Spirit much more stronger than when I was saved when I was about 10.
00:09:53.000 And then literally God started talking to me and showing me things and like, and I would have dreams that came true and all these things.
00:09:59.000 And I just, now I get stronger and stronger and stronger to where you talk about spiritual warfare.
00:10:03.000 We'll get into it at this point.
00:10:04.000 That's all we, I mean, that is, you have Christ, you have Jesus, you have a faith in that.
00:10:08.000 You are protected.
00:10:10.000 But then the devil comes out of people that you love who aren't in God.
00:10:13.000 That's why you've got to get them into the Holy Spirit or the devil's going to chew up your family in front of you.
00:10:18.000 So that's what people better understand.
00:10:19.000 This is more important than guns in your gun cabinet or storable food or water.
00:10:23.000 It's getting your heart and soul ready.
00:10:25.000 Because believe me, folks, without God, you won't be able to withstand Satan.
00:10:29.000 This is going to be hardcore.
00:10:30.000 No flesh will be spared if God doesn't intervene.
00:10:33.000 Right.
00:10:34.000 And I want to bring something back up that you said, and I'll get to that in just a second, what you just said, no flesh will be spared unless God intervenes.
00:10:39.000 There's some great quotes for us that really help us in scripture that say that unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman watches in vain.
00:10:47.000 Like, it doesn't matter.
00:10:48.000 You can be as prepared as you want to be, but if God is not watching over the city, it really doesn't matter.
00:10:52.000 Right?
00:10:52.000 It's a bigger picture than this.
00:10:54.000 Churches did get away from this and I think maybe because they started seeing people kind of practice this escapism, right?
00:11:00.000 So instead of focusing on being productive here and now, right?
00:11:03.000 What am I supposed to do today?
00:11:04.000 What am I supposed to do in the next five years of my life if by chance the Lord allows me to have those?
00:11:09.000 They started looking kind of into the future and they were so heavenly minded that they were no earthly good is what my pastors would say every once in a while.
00:11:16.000 But churches got away from preaching about Revelation and Daniel and some other topics that are very, very interesting and very important topics because it basically gives you the opportunity to point at Scripture and go, God called that, right?
00:11:28.000 In Ezekiel, when it talks about the dry bones and the nation of Israel coming back, that's something that has to happen for the rapture to happen, for the tribulation to happen.
00:11:37.000 It talks about them having A temple and having sacrifices and then having the abomination that causes desolation set up.
00:11:43.000 Well, if Israel isn't a country, if Israel doesn't have the land, there is no temple, right?
00:11:48.000 There is no temple right now, but it's impossible unless they're there.
00:11:51.000 Well, until 1948, that was impossible.
00:11:54.000 Until modern television was invented.
00:11:56.000 It was impossible for us to all watch the two witnesses at the Wailing Wall.
00:12:00.000 And it says that when those guys are killed because they've tormented people for this period of time, Just by speaking the truth and withholding rain to basically say, guys, you have to listen.
00:12:08.000 Let me get your attention.
00:12:09.000 No rain.
00:12:10.000 Let me get your attention.
00:12:11.000 Listen to... God loves you.
00:12:12.000 He wants to save you.
00:12:13.000 They rejoice, and the entire world watches them die, and then they exchange gifts like it's Christmas, and then they're brought back to life, and it freaks everybody out, obviously.
00:12:22.000 If somebody was brought back to life after three days laying on the ground and we've been celebrating their death, it'd be a little weird.
00:12:27.000 I'd kind of get freaked out too.
00:12:28.000 I get it.
00:12:28.000 I understand.
00:12:29.000 But none of that technologically was even possible.
00:12:32.000 And so when churches don't get into this, I think they're doing a bit of a disservice to their congregations because it's almost, think about what we have now with kind of the cancel culture, right?
00:12:41.000 We're obviously both very familiar with how that works in our society.
00:12:44.000 You create a vacuum.
00:12:46.000 You start to create a vacuum where people go, okay, well, you're not talking about this, so I'm gonna go listen to 15 or 16 or 20 other people over here talking about it, and I may not be grabbing good information, right?
00:12:56.000 So when you start canceling people in our industry, you start pushing them off into the fringes.
00:13:01.000 You can't easily point out the people who are absolutely out of their minds and go, you know what, don't listen to that guy.
00:13:05.000 He's never been right before.
00:13:07.000 The end of the world has never come.
00:13:09.000 He's predicted it 17 times.
00:13:11.000 And people go, yeah, you're right.
00:13:12.000 I can see that.
00:13:13.000 I can see that this person's not correct and not a reliable person to judge or to listen to, to kind of judge whether the world is actually coming to an end or not.
00:13:21.000 And it actually does a disservice to people.
00:13:23.000 So I think the church has done a bad job with that.
00:13:25.000 Let me just lay a little bit of groundwork here.
00:13:27.000 It's important that you understand this.
00:13:31.000 It is not important that you debate this to the death with other believers.
00:13:35.000 People tend to get into these things and go, you know what, I am a new King James Bible person or a King James Bible person and there are no other translations that absolutely are the Word of God and you're a heretic and you're going to hell if you read the NIV.
00:13:47.000 Right?
00:13:47.000 they tend to kind of draw these lines where we shouldn't.
00:13:50.000 God judges the heart.
00:13:52.000 Christ always taught the Pharisees up there praying in public.
00:13:55.000 He said, no, you need to pray in private.
00:13:57.000 It's about you and God.
00:13:57.000 And I just want to be clear with people.
00:13:59.000 This isn't about even the messengers here.
00:14:01.000 The devil is 100% real.
00:14:03.000 The operating system of the new world order, the UN is Luciferianism.
00:14:07.000 They've got a Lucius Lucifer trust that runs the prayer chapel in New York.
00:14:13.000 At the UN, I've had these people try to recruit me.
00:14:16.000 And some of it wasn't just in high school or then later when I was in Hollywood some.
00:14:21.000 It's happened since then, where very well-known household names said, hey, we want you to go to this event in Reykjavik, or this event in Switzerland, and it's new agey, but we're, Lucifer's not really bad, we're gonna call in Lucifer to fix the problems.
00:14:35.000 So, I mean, I start thinking about how much of this we, Bohemian Grove, I sneak in there, I hear there's this ritual, they're doing a ritual to the devil, Under all these Canaanite names.
00:14:44.000 It's like Ghostbusters or something, but for real.
00:14:46.000 And I look over, and the old men are more intense than when I was in Holy Roller Churches.
00:14:52.000 You know, because Holy Roller Churches, great people are like, oh, we love you, Lord.
00:14:55.000 These people are like, ah!
00:14:56.000 I mean, this is real.
00:14:57.000 All I'm telling people is, I don't know if you've experienced stuff like this, but I'm telling you, if you've seen the stuff I've seen, and I know God put me in those places to see that, so I can now witness this to people, you would know that God is real.
00:15:08.000 And I just keep hammering that.
00:15:10.000 But what you said is critical.
00:15:12.000 There's a mix.
00:15:14.000 The whole rapture thing, okay, there's all this scary stuff coming, and the Bible's being fulfilled so far, because people can see it starting to be fulfilled in the 70s and 80s, technology.
00:15:22.000 So people go, oh my gosh, this really is happening.
00:15:24.000 And then people go, oh, but we're going to be raptured, so let's just go to sleep and stop looking at it.
00:15:29.000 And so it's a mix.
00:15:30.000 Half the folks, or whatever percentage it is, a certain percentage are scared and don't really want to be bothered with it, because it is awesome, it is scary.
00:15:38.000 It is huge.
00:15:39.000 It's eternal.
00:15:40.000 It's a big decision forever.
00:15:42.000 And the other ones are just like, hey, we're going to get rapture.
00:15:43.000 It's going to be fine.
00:15:44.000 But if you really look at the Bible, I'm not going to debate post, mid, or pre.
00:15:51.000 The issue is right there.
00:15:53.000 We know there's a big awakening of Christians later that turn against the Antichrist, and then he starts killing everybody.
00:15:59.000 So we know there's going to be a group that's awake before, a group that doesn't, a huge awakening during it.
00:16:04.000 And you correct me if I'm wrong.
00:16:05.000 You say it more than I do.
00:16:07.000 So let me just lay this out for you and we're not going to debate it.
00:16:07.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:16:09.000 from nice guy to mean guy and we're gonna have the biggest revival ever seen in the middle of this.
00:16:15.000 It's just so any way you slice it folks it's real it's happening and people better get serious.
00:16:21.000 Yeah absolutely so let me let me just lay this out for you and we're not going to debate it.
00:16:24.000 I may ask Alex kind of where he falls down on this stuff.
00:16:26.000 I really don't know.
00:16:27.000 It's very complex.
00:16:28.000 I just know that God's real and the devil's real.
00:16:30.000 It's about to get real messy, one way or the other, right?
00:16:33.000 So look, a lot of people believe in what's called a rapture.
00:16:35.000 And if you're wondering what that is, that's a topic that's alluded to in scripture.
00:16:38.000 I believe it's 1 Thessalonians 4 that mentions being caught up to heaven, kind of in the twinkling of an eye.
00:16:43.000 And there's a word that's used there, harpazo, right?
00:16:46.000 And that's where they talk about this rapture, like this instantaneous, like catching up to be with God.
00:16:50.000 And then, at some point, there is a period of seven years that's called either the Time of Jacob's Trouble, I think, in Jeremiah, or the Tribulation, right?
00:16:58.000 A lot of people look at the Tribulation and are like, oh, it's a seven-year period.
00:17:01.000 The entire Tribulation is this seven-year period, but really, the really scary thing, Alex, is that the Antichrist, when he comes to power, is accepted with open arms.
00:17:01.000 Sort of.
00:17:13.000 This person doesn't come in as a conquering kind of dictator.
00:17:18.000 He doesn't show up in red pajamas.
00:17:20.000 Right, exactly.
00:17:20.000 Right?
00:17:21.000 He doesn't come in and say, you know, you have to follow me.
00:17:23.000 People willingly do that.
00:17:24.000 And before COVID-19 hit, most of you out there right now probably thought, like, there's no way the world would just kind of jump in lockstep on something like this and kind of give up their freedoms willingly and shut down the entire world economy and not ask really important questions.
00:17:36.000 There's no way big tech would, like, completely censor genuine doctors asking questions about this stuff.
00:17:41.000 There's no way that would all happen.
00:17:43.000 Everybody's eyes got opened a little bit on how quickly we fall apart.
00:17:47.000 How quickly we are willing, in times of trouble, to welcome in somebody who may not have our best interest at heart.
00:17:54.000 To accept a great delusion.
00:17:55.000 Exactly.
00:17:56.000 Which the Bible says...
00:17:59.000 The delusion was so strong it could even deceive the elect.
00:18:02.000 That's exactly what it is.
00:18:02.000 What's the exact quote?
00:18:03.000 You nailed it!
00:18:04.000 Sometimes you just gotta believe in yourself, Alex.
00:18:06.000 I mean, I've read this stuff a hundred times, but you're trying to get the quote exactly right.
00:18:10.000 No, no.
00:18:10.000 So I always loosely quote this thing.
00:18:12.000 Like, I've got some scripture written down just to make sure that I get it accurate, but if you hear us talk about it, it's a loose quote.
00:18:17.000 Acts 17, 11 is what I would always point you to.
00:18:20.000 Don't believe Alex.
00:18:21.000 Don't believe Gerald.
00:18:22.000 Go and study scripture and see if it is true.
00:18:24.000 That is what everybody should do that.
00:18:24.000 Right?
00:18:28.000 One of my favorite teachers, Chuck Missler, always talked about that.
00:18:30.000 So do that and make sure you do it, right?
00:18:32.000 All right, so there's seven years.
00:18:33.000 Three and a half really good years.
00:18:35.000 Then things switch.
00:18:36.000 And three and a half really bad years.
00:18:38.000 And that's what we talk about.
00:18:39.000 That's the tribulation, that three and a half years.
00:18:41.000 So this seven year period ends.
00:18:44.000 Then there's a millennial kingdom, which is a thousand year rule of Christ on earth.
00:18:48.000 New Jerusalem, the whole thing.
00:18:49.000 And then at the end of that, there's what they call the White Throne Judgment, New Heaven, New Earth, right?
00:18:53.000 That's the basic layout.
00:18:54.000 There are other things that happen in there that I'm not going to get into right now.
00:18:57.000 Let the devil out for a little while again.
00:18:59.000 He does, and I don't know why.
00:19:00.000 Like, at the end of the thousand years, so Satan is bound and they're thrown into the pit for a thousand years, then he lets him out for a little while, and there's, again, there's this additional battle that happens, and then there's the final battle.
00:19:12.000 It's like, okay, you've seen nothing but pure goodness.
00:19:12.000 Well, it's free will.
00:19:14.000 For a thousand years.
00:19:16.000 It's almost like Adam and Eve all over again.
00:19:18.000 You get to walk and talk with God, essentially, right?
00:19:20.000 And now you have the opportunity again to fall away, and so there's this final battle.
00:19:24.000 I don't know why.
00:19:25.000 I have no idea why God does that.
00:19:27.000 But I understand that God is good and just, and I trust him a lot more than I trust myself to figure this out.
00:19:32.000 But that's true, at the end of it.
00:19:33.000 So some people believe that we're in the millennium right now, and if so, a lot of pastors have said, well, if that's true, then the devil's chain is too long, because he's obviously on the march.
00:19:40.000 Yeah, well, there's that teaching that supposedly Titus sacked Rome, I mean, sacked Jerusalem, and that was the end of the world then.
00:19:46.000 I mean, it doesn't have all the technology, the mark of the beast.
00:19:49.000 I just really don't see that.
00:19:50.000 And it's not understanding the Olivet Discourse, right?
00:19:53.000 The Olivet Discourse, and I talked to my wife about this just a little while ago.
00:19:56.000 By the way, she loves you.
00:19:56.000 She's a big fan.
00:19:57.000 I don't know.
00:19:58.000 God bless her.
00:19:59.000 I married up.
00:20:01.000 I was talking to her about that earlier.
00:20:02.000 I heard you say that on air.
00:20:03.000 You did.
00:20:04.000 You're a handsome guy, but she's quite the lady.
00:20:05.000 She's fantastic.
00:20:07.000 In Luke, the Olivet Discourse, he's actually talking about, he's talking to Gentiles, right?
00:20:11.000 So Luke is written to Gentiles.
00:20:13.000 So this is Christians after the time of Christ.
00:20:16.000 Leading up to 70 A.D., and he's talking about this, and he says, don't waste any time.
00:20:20.000 When you see the armies around Jerusalem, flee the city.
00:20:23.000 Don't even go back down and get your coat.
00:20:25.000 Leave and get out of the city.
00:20:26.000 That was the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., when the city was burned.
00:20:30.000 And Christ said that.
00:20:30.000 He said, before this generation passes, not one stone will be there.
00:20:33.000 38 years later, that's pretty much exactly the same time that they were wandering the desert as well, before they came into the promised land.
00:20:39.000 So it's a very interesting quote.
00:20:40.000 The generation had not passed, but people are like, well, wait a minute.
00:20:43.000 The Olivet Discourse in Luke sounds very similar to the Olivet Discourse in Matthew, and so they get confused.
00:20:48.000 Matthew is written to Jews.
00:20:51.000 Matthew's whole thing was writing to the Jews and it was talking about two different times.
00:20:55.000 Jesus at one time was talking to the public during the day and the other time he was kind of having secret briefing meetings with his disciples at night.
00:21:04.000 And so that's why there's some confusion about whether that actually already happened and we're in a millennium or that there is no millennial kingdom.
00:21:10.000 That's just really some kind of... But really it's men looking at the same mountain range from different angles.
00:21:16.000 Pretty much.
00:21:16.000 Yeah.
00:21:17.000 You're looking at the story and you're not taking into context who he's writing to and also like very simple things that said, and before these things, this stuff will happen.
00:21:25.000 And after these things, these things will happen.
00:21:26.000 It's like, well, wait a minute.
00:21:27.000 One says before and goes down this entire list.
00:21:29.000 The other says after and goes down this other way.
00:21:32.000 That's a different conversation, but we've kind of looped those things together and it's caused a lot of confusion.
00:21:36.000 All you really need to know is, there is a Tribulation, there is a Millennial Kingdom, the Bible definitely discusses it, I don't allegorize it, I tend to take the Bible more seriously, and the more that I do that, the more that I see Scripture being fulfilled.
00:21:50.000 That women will become men, men will become women, your children will be set up over you.
00:21:54.000 It's like insane.
00:21:56.000 None of that ever went on.
00:21:57.000 When this is being written, people will read this and go, this is crazy, this never happened.
00:22:01.000 They're like, you guys are crazy.
00:22:03.000 Come on, really?
00:22:05.000 Guys becoming women?
00:22:05.000 That's just crazy.
00:22:06.000 There's some effeminate men, but let's not go too far.
00:22:09.000 So, one of the other dividing lines is, you know, when in that period of time the church is actually taken out.
00:22:14.000 Is it before that seven-year start?
00:22:16.000 Is it at the midpoint, so before the bad time starts?
00:22:19.000 Is it at the very end, because Christians don't get to be exempt from the kind of, I guess, persecution that they've experienced?
00:22:24.000 Well, it says the beast will wage war against the saints and overcome them.
00:22:27.000 So if you want to speak against the... because to me it says Christ comes back, the archangel bounds Satan, and then the dead in Christ are raised, and that's the tribulation to me.
00:22:37.000 To me it happens at the end of the Battle of Armageddon.
00:22:40.000 Okay.
00:22:41.000 I mean, it seems to me like a ten-year-old could do that.
00:22:43.000 But so many Christians who believe in Christ and love God are holding on to that.
00:22:47.000 I don't want to run them away.
00:22:48.000 I don't want to say you're going to hell.
00:22:49.000 I don't want to preach at you.
00:22:50.000 Hey, if that's what you believe, that's fine.
00:22:52.000 But then you're not going to be ready for what's already going down.
00:22:55.000 Right, so your responsibility is the same as a believer or somebody who's maybe interested in what, you know, I guess the Bible has to say about how the world is going to go because looking around you're probably thinking, my goodness, things are not necessarily getting better, they're getting worse.
00:23:09.000 I tend to come down on a pre-tribulation kind of viewpoint, right?
00:23:13.000 And so let me explain why.
00:23:14.000 I don't If you understand what the tribulation is about, right?
00:23:20.000 If you understand what those last three and a half years are, it is God's final chance for the Jews.
00:23:25.000 The Jews that rejected Christ.
00:23:26.000 He said, I will return to my place until they acknowledge their offense and then I will come to them.
00:23:32.000 This is God-fulfilling prophecy from Daniel.
00:23:34.000 It's the 70th week of Daniel that talks about this very specifically, and not only predicts when Messiah will come, but also predicts this period of time that will be unlike any other time.
00:23:44.000 Worse than the Holocaust, right?
00:23:45.000 That's exactly what the Bible is describing, because if you look at some of the numbers that it talks about for how many people will be killed, it is far, far, far worse.
00:23:53.000 But this is the last chance of a loving father saying, I'm giving you one final opportunity, and I'm going to do some things.
00:23:59.000 I'm going to tell you that I'm going to do them.
00:24:00.000 So think of plagues of Egypt, right?
00:24:02.000 I'm just going to start ratcheting up the pressure until finally you let go and understand that I am God and you are not.
00:24:09.000 So that's one of the reasons.
00:24:10.000 That's right.
00:24:10.000 God repeats the same.
00:24:11.000 It's like over and over again.
00:24:12.000 So to the Jewish mind, pattern is prophecy.
00:24:12.000 Pattern.
00:24:14.000 So the Bible isn't so much pattern developed and kind of laid down.
00:24:18.000 The entire book of Joshua essentially is pattern for the end times.
00:24:22.000 In Joshua, you know, when they're talking about the city of Jericho and the battle there and they march around the walls and then they scream in the walls.
00:24:22.000 Think about this.
00:24:28.000 All the kids know that from like Bible stories when you're when you're a young kid.
00:24:32.000 The part of it that we don't talk a whole lot about is this two witness part.
00:24:35.000 They send in two spies.
00:24:36.000 They don't get any actionable military intelligence because there is no battle plan that includes going in and doing anything.
00:24:41.000 It's just walking around the city.
00:24:43.000 You don't have to have any intel for that, right?
00:24:45.000 The only thing that really happens is that Rahab, a harlot, and her family get saved.
00:24:49.000 She's a Gentile.
00:24:50.000 So two witnesses go in.
00:24:51.000 Two witnesses at the wailing wall.
00:24:53.000 Gentiles get saved.
00:24:54.000 Gentiles get saved.
00:24:56.000 It's a pattern that God is laying down.
00:24:59.000 Exactly, so it just lays down this pattern throughout scripture.
00:25:02.000 So the next thing that makes me believe that if you look at Revelation 3 it talks about the letters to the seven churches and it actually starts in chapter 2 but in chapter 3 it comes to the Church of Philadelphia.
00:25:12.000 A lot of people will make a big deal about how these churches actually represent kind of church ages so to speak like an apostate church or a missionary church or an evangelical church or A lukewarm church, right?
00:25:24.000 So you can look at all of these and kind of study that.
00:25:26.000 That's a really interesting thing to do.
00:25:28.000 The Church of Philadelphia, it actually says, and I'll quote it here in just a little bit, it actually says that if you hold on, I will keep you, I will remove you from the time of trouble.
00:25:38.000 That's very interesting.
00:25:39.000 So it's a foreshadowing of a pattern.
00:25:41.000 Of a potential, hey, it's possible that there's a rapture.
00:25:44.000 Here's the important part.
00:25:45.000 Oh, Gerald, I want to say, the important part, I hope it's pre.
00:25:50.000 I know, right?
00:25:51.000 I am praying that it's free as well.
00:25:53.000 Trust me, if you've read Revelation, I don't want to be around for the last three and a half years of the seventh year.
00:25:57.000 I don't want to be around for the first part of it because there's going to be this guy coming on the stage that everybody who's a Christian, if you're still around, you're going to know that's the Antichrist.
00:26:06.000 Things are about to get really bad and it's not going to be a fun time to be around.
00:26:09.000 And he's going to be healing people and miracles and all the high tech.
00:26:14.000 Politically, he's going to come to power first, and it's going to be just this sweeping thing.
00:26:17.000 Can you imagine somebody from, like, Romania or, you know, pick some country over in kind of Eastern Europe.
00:26:23.000 Can you imagine somebody coming to power right now and the entire world just bowing down to this person and saying, absolutely, yes, this person.
00:26:30.000 What is it the Antichrist, you've studied more than I have, what's the devil able to do to make people go into this delusion and worship this guy?
00:26:37.000 So it's a time of trouble, right?
00:26:40.000 So that's what we need.
00:26:40.000 Historically we've seen that with the rise of Hitler, with all of these different kind of dictators.
00:26:44.000 A depression, a virus.
00:26:45.000 Exactly.
00:26:46.000 So this time of trouble where people are looking and willing to give up freedom for security.
00:26:46.000 Something like that.
00:26:51.000 We've been willing to do that throughout history.
00:26:53.000 So the devil comes up with a solution.
00:26:55.000 Yep.
00:26:55.000 There's a person who comes in and has the solution, can bring world peace, can unite people that you never thought could unite, and really what marks the beginning of this is the signing of a treaty with Israel.
00:27:05.000 And so Israel signs a treaty with all of its neighbors to have peace.
00:27:08.000 It's a seven-year treaty, and that's where that seven-year tribunal is.
00:27:11.000 It was kind of scary when Trump was getting that done.
00:27:13.000 I know, right, when he moved the embassy.
00:27:16.000 But that was fantastic, but there was no peace treaty with the neighbors.
00:27:20.000 No, I mean, it was good what he was doing, but I'm just saying it was still kind of like, whoa, it's happening.
00:27:24.000 No, but it's part of it, right?
00:27:25.000 And so Russia plays kind of a key role in this, too, in the Battle of Armageddon.
00:27:29.000 What's up, Mog and Agog?
00:27:30.000 Where were the ones, Russia?
00:27:31.000 Dog and Magog.
00:27:32.000 It's Russia and it's allies that typically people believe that are the armies that come down and invade, but really the seven-year treaty is what kicks it off.
00:27:39.000 So, if you're looking for the start of this, either you won't be here, and maybe we were correct in thinking that the church would be pulled out, or you'll see a treaty signed and you'll be here, but only for the good part, or you'll be here for all of it.
00:27:51.000 Either way, doesn't change what you do.
00:27:53.000 None of that matters.
00:27:54.000 This isn't something that you debate. A lot of times, you know, you talk about different doctrines and people are
00:27:59.000 like, I don't know if you have to be baptized to be saved. And I
00:28:01.000 go, you know what? I don't know either.
00:28:02.000 The thief on the cross wasn't baptized. You know what I do know?
00:28:04.000 Christ said to get baptized. That's all I need to know. I don't know what it does.
00:28:09.000 I'm going to do communion. I'm going to get baptized. I'm going to do it all.
00:28:12.000 I mean, but here's the thing. Like, I don't have to know if that's salvific, right?
00:28:15.000 If it's going to be a part of the salvation plan?
00:28:18.000 I just know what Christ said to do.
00:28:18.000 I don't know.
00:28:20.000 Here, He says to be ready.
00:28:22.000 You can't know the hour and the day, but you can know the season.
00:28:25.000 Jesus actually holds people responsible and accountable for not knowing the time of His coming.
00:28:30.000 That's what he was crying over.
00:28:31.000 You don't know the exact time, but you know the season.
00:28:31.000 Exactly.
00:28:33.000 Exactly.
00:28:34.000 And so the book of Revelation is actually God the Father revealing the plan to God the Son, Jesus, telling John on the Isle of Patmos.
00:28:34.000 Right?
00:28:43.000 So many people don't catch that in the first couple of verses.
00:28:46.000 This is the revelation to Jesus.
00:28:49.000 From God.
00:28:50.000 Right, it says that right at the start.
00:28:51.000 At the very start, and we read right over it and go, okay, well this is just a revelation to John.
00:28:55.000 No, John is there as a witness to record.
00:28:57.000 Now, he has a problem because he's seeing stuff that he has no idea how to describe.
00:29:01.000 But, at the same time, he's doing his best when he says that you've got something that spews sulfur out of its mouth and it's got the power to sting you in its tail.
00:29:09.000 Okay.
00:29:10.000 What does that sound like modern times, right?
00:29:12.000 Spewing sulfur out of its mouth.
00:29:13.000 Okay, people have conjectured maybe that's a tank.
00:29:15.000 Okay, that sounds right.
00:29:17.000 Soldiers behind it could be the tail because they have weapons and they can sting for the tail.
00:29:20.000 Okay, if you're John and you have, you know, horses and buggies, how do you describe...
00:29:26.000 He describes all these flying metal things and mountains of fire and, you know...
00:29:30.000 It's hard to describe these kinds of things in a way that will make sense.
00:29:33.000 And so, John had a problem.
00:29:34.000 He had to describe these things in a way that hopefully people would be able to understand.
00:29:37.000 But again, the point isn't, was he talking about tanks?
00:29:41.000 That's really irrelevant.
00:29:42.000 The point is, there's a time of trouble the likes of which the world has never known.
00:29:47.000 World War I, people thought was the end of the world.
00:29:49.000 They actually thought it was called the war to end all wars.
00:29:51.000 Exactly.
00:29:52.000 Except it was the war to start another war.
00:29:54.000 It was insane.
00:29:54.000 Right?
00:29:55.000 And people thought, oh my gosh, with World War II, this really does have to be the end.
00:29:59.000 It is going to get way worse than that.
00:30:01.000 That's what scripture says.
00:30:02.000 Think about at least 25 million Russians, 22 million Germans died and a lot of 600,000 Americans.
00:30:09.000 I mean, it was, but the point was we were We were on the tail end of it.
00:30:15.000 I mean, the Russians and Germans killing each other.
00:30:17.000 We waited as long as we possibly could.
00:30:18.000 Because trench warfare didn't sound like it was going anywhere.
00:30:21.000 And it didn't.
00:30:22.000 We were smart.
00:30:22.000 Instead, we put our troops, that's why the Army Air Corps was so big, in big big machines dropping bombs.
00:30:27.000 That would have seemed smarter.
00:30:28.000 It was insane, but people thought the world was going to end.
00:30:30.000 And people thought that the Antichrist should be on the stage and ready to go.
00:30:33.000 But it's just going to get worse.
00:30:34.000 And that's not to scare you.
00:30:35.000 But the Bible even says there are many Antichrists.
00:30:38.000 There's models of it.
00:30:39.000 Well, there has to be.
00:30:40.000 Because Satan doesn't know when the end is going to come anyway.
00:30:42.000 So he has to be prepared pretty much in every generation.
00:30:44.000 Satan's not omnipresent.
00:30:45.000 No.
00:30:45.000 He has to be prepared pretty much in every generation to have an Antichrist.
00:30:48.000 And this is conjecture, so I'll hold this loosely.
00:30:51.000 But theoretically, that means that Hitler could have been the Antichrist, if the timing was right.
00:30:57.000 The spirit was ready to do it.
00:30:57.000 Exactly.
00:30:58.000 Right.
00:30:59.000 I'm not saying Gavin Newsom is the Antichrist.
00:31:02.000 I'm with you.
00:31:03.000 Let's go talk about this.
00:31:03.000 We can talk about Patrick Bateman or whatever.
00:31:05.000 To me, in my Holy Spirit, I look at Newsom and I go, that's the devil.
00:31:11.000 My gut just goes, whoa.
00:31:13.000 Not just his actions.
00:31:14.000 There's evil there.
00:31:15.000 There's real evil there.
00:31:17.000 I'm not saying he's the devil, but whatever's running him is like a lieutenant to Satan.
00:31:22.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:31:23.000 We'll get into a little bit about spiritual warfare, but I think that is 100% spot on that there are people that are influenced very, very, very heavily by evil and scripture talks a lot about that.
00:31:32.000 So speaking of scripture, I just want to, we've mentioned the book of Daniel.
00:31:34.000 I just want to read a real quick quote here and we'll throw it up on the screen in post.
00:31:38.000 We don't have it right now, so we won't be able to see it, Alex, but I'll read it to you.
00:31:41.000 Sure.
00:31:42.000 So Daniel 9, 24, this is the 70 weeks of Daniel.
00:31:44.000 So 70 weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness and seal both the vision and profit, and to anoint the most holy place.
00:31:56.000 Okay.
00:31:58.000 Does it sound like that has happened?
00:31:59.000 Has sin been put to an end?
00:32:00.000 Okay, so 70 weeks.
00:32:00.000 No.
00:32:02.000 We are not at the end of that 70 week period yet, or some of those things would have happened.
00:32:06.000 Some of those things might be able to happen in the first 69, and then there's a pause, and then there's the 70th week of Daniel, which is what it gets into.
00:32:13.000 No, therefore and understand and this is this is the prediction to the day of when Jesus would come and present himself as Messiah that so many people miss know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem to coming of the anointed one a prince was his Messiah there shall be seven weeks then from Then for 62 weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.
00:32:36.000 And so that's talking about when they're building the city, when they're rebuilding Jerusalem, you're actually going to have to build with one hand and have a sword in the other hand.
00:32:42.000 And I believe they talk about that a little bit in Nehemiah, right?
00:32:45.000 So Artaxerxes Longinus actually gives the decree for them to go and rebuild the city.
00:32:50.000 And they do.
00:32:51.000 So that's the beginning of the clock.
00:32:53.000 And there's some really cool studies again.
00:32:54.000 Chuck Missler does a great study on this to kind of go, okay, here's the day, because we have good records on when that was, now how long is this weeks of years kind of period that they talk about?
00:33:03.000 And he'll go into a study on that.
00:33:04.000 We're not going to get into that now.
00:33:05.000 Does it come down around around now?
00:33:08.000 No, it's talking about when Christ would come the first time.
00:33:10.000 Oh yeah.
00:33:11.000 So there's something... Like the Old Testament precursors the same way.
00:33:13.000 Right.
00:33:14.000 So this is Daniel saying, look, Messiah is going to come at some point.
00:33:17.000 Gotta get some Agwe here, yeah.
00:33:19.000 I'll rat you out as she's coming in very secretly and doing a great job.
00:33:22.000 My apologies.
00:33:23.000 So Messiah is prophesied as coming here, right?
00:33:27.000 And so the Jews are looking for the coming of Messiah because he's going to deliver them.
00:33:30.000 And everything's going to be great and they're not going to be overtaken by anybody.
00:33:33.000 They're not going to be having all the problems that they are right now, especially when Jesus actually does come.
00:33:37.000 They're being ruled by terrible people with the Romans and they really were looking for their deliverer to come.
00:33:44.000 And it's really interesting.
00:33:45.000 I was talking to my wife earlier about this today.
00:33:48.000 A lot of times, don't understand what Jesus is doing because he'll heal somebody and he'll say, don't say anything.
00:33:53.000 Don't say who did it.
00:33:54.000 Don't do anything with this.
00:33:55.000 Keep quiet.
00:33:56.000 Be secret.
00:33:57.000 He does that over and over and over again.
00:33:59.000 When his mom comes to him at the wedding of Cana, one of my favorite miracles because I'm a wine guy, and says, I want you to take care of this problem.
00:34:06.000 Woman, my time has not yet come.
00:34:08.000 I'm not supposed to do some of these things yet.
00:34:10.000 It's not yet.
00:34:12.000 So Jesus constantly pushes back on this.
00:34:14.000 He's holding back on his power.
00:34:16.000 And then there's one time where he demands it and commands it and that's on the triumphal entry.
00:34:21.000 On the day that Jesus looks out over the city and weeps over Jerusalem and said if you had only known the time of your deliverance Basically holding them accountable for understanding the book of Daniel and saying, you didn't know that I was coming and this is not going to go well.
00:34:36.000 I wish that wasn't the case.
00:34:37.000 And how can they not deny it now when Jesus came and warned them and everything he said now came true?
00:34:42.000 I mean, it's ridiculous.
00:34:42.000 Absolutely.
00:34:43.000 It is.
00:34:44.000 And he actually said, some people came up to him, some of the leaders, the spiritual leaders, and said, make sure, tell your people not to do what they're doing right now because they're saying, Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest.
00:34:54.000 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
00:34:55.000 Tell them not to do that.
00:34:57.000 And Jesus looks at them and says, look, if they don't do it, the rocks will cry out and do it.
00:35:02.000 Creation will declare who I am because today's the day.
00:35:06.000 And you should have been ready for that, right?
00:35:07.000 Is that when he rode in on the donkey?
00:35:09.000 Yeah.
00:35:10.000 It's an incredible letter.
00:35:11.000 But how can the Jews, and I know they get mad about this, we love them to death, and a lot of them are coming to Christ, how can they get mad when the Messiah told them and then it all came true?
00:35:21.000 But Jesus, God knew this as well.
00:35:23.000 God knew that they would miss this.
00:35:25.000 You mentioned it earlier when people were, I think you were talking about them praying in public and making these eloquent prayers and then you've got this sinner over there that says, have mercy on me God, I am a sinner.
00:35:35.000 That's the heart that he wants, not somebody praying in public for public recognition.
00:35:40.000 Well he prayed in private but he wasn't making a big show of things.
00:35:46.000 If he did something in public like he danced before God without his tunic on, like he had pants on but probably no shirt, he danced before God, there was nothing wrong with that because it was genuine.
00:35:55.000 What God had a problem with, what Jesus, God in human form, had a problem with was fake Fake belief, fake sincerity, fake piety.
00:36:05.000 People who said one thing, did another thing, and then actually lorded it over kind of the lady, the people, right?
00:36:12.000 And said, hey, you guys have to do all of these things because of God, and I am God's minister, but I'm cheating, I'm doing all these things that I shouldn't be doing, but don't worry about that.
00:36:22.000 That's why I call them whitewashed tombs.
00:36:23.000 Well, Gerald, if you had a national, which you have with your great Stephen Crowder, if you had a national TV show preached every week, I'd tune in, you're good, you're smart, man.
00:36:31.000 Well, thank you very much.
00:36:32.000 I appreciate it.
00:36:33.000 No, I would.
00:36:33.000 That's what we're doing right now, I guess.
00:36:35.000 I'm kind of chicken to the egg.
00:36:36.000 I pray for the Holy Spirit to say something because, you know.
00:36:38.000 I mean, chicken to the egg.
00:36:38.000 We are talking to millions right now, so.
00:36:40.000 Well, yeah, absolutely.
00:36:42.000 No, and so it goes on and talks about a covenant that is made for one week.
00:36:46.000 And this is where the week, kind of weeks of years thing comes in.
00:36:49.000 In Judaism, like there's, you can have a week of years, right?
00:36:53.000 So it's kind of something that's foreign to us.
00:36:55.000 We say a week, we mean seven days.
00:36:56.000 You can actually have that mean seven years, right?
00:36:58.000 So it's just kind of a figure of speech.
00:37:00.000 And so Daniel kind of gives that to us in verse 27, and make a strong covenant with many for one week and for half of the week, so the first half, so that you don't miss it.
00:37:08.000 By the way, the book of Revelation says it three different ways.
00:37:11.000 It says 300, I can't remember the number of days, it's like 1200 and something days, three and a half years, and it gives you the months.
00:37:17.000 It does months, weeks, years, multiple times to make sure that you understand it's a three and a half year period.
00:37:22.000 It's 360 day years though, which is very interesting to me.
00:37:24.000 Somebody can do some research on that.
00:37:26.000 I think there's a really interesting book out there, I think called When Worlds Collide, that talks about potentially how the calendar can change around a little bit.
00:37:34.000 But what do we say to the average person who doesn't believe in God but then really worships the system?
00:37:40.000 What are they gonna do as this world government comes in that surveils you with AI,
00:37:46.000 and you've gotta submit and follow everything it tells you, or it takes your right to have a job,
00:37:50.000 or eat, or live, or travel, and basically kills you.
00:37:54.000 I mean, that is, you've gotta worship the beast to get the mark of the beast,
00:37:58.000 and so what do you think, what is, we know the devil is the Antichrist,
00:38:02.000 but what is the beast system, Gerald, in your view, and then what is it we have to do to get this mark?
00:38:07.000 Because like you said, you don't get it by accident, So how do you refuse it?
00:38:11.000 So you'll know.
00:38:13.000 The good thing is that you will know.
00:38:14.000 Nobody will ever accidentally take the mark of the beast.
00:38:17.000 And that was a question that a lot of people had, like, look with RFID tags, with, uh, I don't know, pull out your phone, like if you live in China, basically you take out your phone and it scans it and that's how you buy stuff, that's how you see if you're qualified to get on an airplane or a train or get a car loan, maybe go to college, if your ESG score, essentially, social media score.
00:38:34.000 Social credit score, but nonetheless, I mean, it's all kind of one thing.
00:38:37.000 I think we've talked about the ESG stuff as well.
00:38:40.000 All of that is the same thing.
00:38:41.000 So people thought, oh, am I accidentally doing that?
00:38:44.000 People thought barcodes because the dividers were sixes and it said 666.
00:38:46.000 I'm like, look, it's not barcodes.
00:38:49.000 Just because you go to the store and you buy some cheese doesn't mean that you've taken the mark of the beast.
00:38:52.000 It will be a bowing down to a world system.
00:38:56.000 Think of the story of Nebuchadnezzar and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
00:38:59.000 There was a big statue over there.
00:39:01.000 They bowed down before it and worshipped it multiple times a day.
00:39:05.000 And they stood up and said, we're not going to do it, right?
00:39:07.000 That's what you'll have the opportunity to do.
00:39:09.000 It won't happen by accident.
00:39:11.000 But the way, the mechanisms for that to be carried out are being put in place right now.
00:39:18.000 And that's just incredible.
00:39:19.000 You read Revelation and you're like, how do they do it?
00:39:22.000 You worship it, you got to submit, and then you get the mark.
00:39:25.000 It's not like you just agree to take it.
00:39:27.000 You have to worship it and do whatever it says.
00:39:29.000 They have all these patents where you're watched by AI in lifetime and you follow its orders completely or it's taken away from you.
00:39:36.000 So you become a robot and turn your free will over and become an extension of Antichrist.
00:39:41.000 I mean, and so God's like, yeah, you've cut yourself off when I made you and gave you all this creativity and all this freedom and free will.
00:39:41.000 Right.
00:39:47.000 If you merge with this, basically marry the devil and put the ring on your finger of this mark, then, then that's it.
00:39:54.000 You're done.
00:39:54.000 Yeah.
00:39:55.000 Well, and they talk about the, once you take the mark of the beast, you're right.
00:39:57.000 You can't come back from that.
00:39:59.000 There is no coming back.
00:40:00.000 And so if I believe in a rapture that takes Christians out, which leaves a pretty terrible world in my opinion.
00:40:04.000 But just back up for a second though, but that means, God, you've got the people on the cross, and one of them doesn't believe the other does.
00:40:11.000 That guy, you'll be with me in paradise.
00:40:12.000 But think about it.
00:40:13.000 What is it you've got to do that's so bad in the process, that to get that mark, to get that sign, you've done the ultimate sin, or you've done something so bad, God says, it's not just that you took it, it's like to get that mark, to me, is what did it.
00:40:26.000 Yeah, so this is, really this is the final chance.
00:40:28.000 I think it's just the final straw kind of thing.
00:40:30.000 Like, this is you declaring sides.
00:40:32.000 You've picked your side kind of at the last opportunity.
00:40:35.000 You put the enemy uniform on.
00:40:36.000 Exactly.
00:40:36.000 Right, and right now we have grace.
00:40:38.000 We have the covering of Christ and praise God for it because there are days where... And it's gonna be rough.
00:40:43.000 You may, like, maybe your children have sided with Antichrist.
00:40:46.000 I mean, there's gonna be a moment where you're like, my family did it, I'm taking it, fine, I bow down.
00:40:46.000 God forbid.
00:40:51.000 Well, then you won't, it's just, no, you've got to say sorry.
00:40:55.000 Absolutely.
00:40:55.000 You have to and it will cost you your life.
00:40:58.000 You won't be able to buy or sell.
00:40:59.000 It means you can't eat.
00:41:00.000 Maybe people will set up co-ops.
00:41:01.000 There's a really cool series of books called Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins that I read when I was in high school.
00:41:07.000 I started reading them and they came out over I guess the course of maybe 10 or 15 years.
00:41:10.000 They wrote a ton of them.
00:41:11.000 Really, really interesting stuff.
00:41:13.000 But it describes, OK, well, you know, think of the practical things that could happen.
00:41:16.000 Somebody can set up a co-op and have believers around the world.
00:41:19.000 There's some kind of a system where they're trying to kind of help people be fed and help people get moved out of cities that are, I guess, locking down.
00:41:26.000 By the way, the U.N.
00:41:27.000 and the Rockefeller Foundation 10 years ago put out Plandopolis.
00:41:31.000 And they said, we're going to put the people that won't take our chips and accept our system in these ghettos.
00:41:36.000 Yeah.
00:41:36.000 And it said they're going to have like, it describes that.
00:41:39.000 So even the enemy sees the same perspective.
00:41:41.000 It's weird.
00:41:42.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:41:43.000 And so many people think that it's impossible for that system.
00:41:45.000 I want to go back to this because this really is the test case.
00:41:48.000 This is absolutely the test case.
00:41:50.000 So we've talked about how COVID-19 mirrored how maybe a world government could take over because we need it because it's so bad, it's going to kill everybody.
00:41:59.000 Right, so bad it's going to kill everybody that everybody has to do this.
00:42:02.000 Take it one step further.
00:42:04.000 It's not just that the situation is dire and that we need to take these drastic economic measures and freedom kind of
00:42:11.000 restricting measures.
00:42:12.000 It's that people who speak out against it are worthy of death.
00:42:17.000 How many celebrities did we see tweeting F you if you don't have the vaccine and you screw your freedom?
00:42:23.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:42:24.000 Arnold Schwarzenegger, if you don't have the vaccine and you come to the hospital, you should die and somebody else
00:42:29.000 should be taking care of you. Resuscitating people with heart attacks.
00:42:34.000 In the United States, because the hospital was too full and it wasn't.
00:42:37.000 None of these hospitals were too full.
00:42:37.000 Exactly.
00:42:39.000 We've talked about this.
00:42:41.000 That is the kind of mentality people will have.
00:42:43.000 You are now an enemy.
00:42:45.000 Not just an enemy ideologically, not just somebody that I need to make sure doesn't run for office and win, but somebody who should not have a job, a way to provide for their family, a place to live, or even- And that's why China's the model.
00:42:58.000 So from your research, the model, because you've done a better job than I have, I always remember in Sunday School and stuff, there are going to be guillotines, chopping Christians' heads off.
00:43:05.000 I mean, what does the Bible actually say about that versus what people made up?
00:43:09.000 So if you don't have the mark of the beast, if you refuse to worship, the punishment of choice is separating you from your head, which is typically fatal.
00:43:09.000 100% true.
00:43:18.000 A lot better than going to hell.
00:43:19.000 It's supposed to be a joke, Alex.
00:43:22.000 No, no.
00:43:22.000 You're right.
00:43:23.000 But it's so serious.
00:43:23.000 It is funny.
00:43:25.000 A lot of people think, OK, well, what other world religion right now?
00:43:28.000 Because it will come in under a world religion.
00:43:31.000 Don't be fooled.
00:43:32.000 Don't think that they're going to say God is not real.
00:43:34.000 They're going to say, yes, God is real, but God is this.
00:43:34.000 That's not what they're going to say.
00:43:38.000 They'll say you can still be Christian, but you must accept every other religion.
00:43:38.000 Right?
00:43:42.000 We have to accept all of these other things.
00:43:43.000 What religion right now kills apostates by cutting off their heads?
00:43:47.000 Islam.
00:43:48.000 Islam.
00:43:49.000 Absolutely.
00:43:50.000 What regions are we talking about when we talk about some of the places that this all is going to happen?
00:43:53.000 Middle East.
00:43:54.000 Middle East.
00:43:55.000 Do you think it's any surprise that that probably plays a prominent role?
00:43:58.000 I have no idea.
00:43:59.000 And Islam didn't exist for 400 years after The revelation.
00:44:05.000 I think Islam came around in what, the 600s?
00:44:07.000 500-600 years.
00:44:09.000 Something like that.
00:44:10.000 I didn't even plan on getting into Islam, but it's a topic that I've studied a lot.
00:44:16.000 This guy was rejected by the Jews.
00:44:18.000 He wanted to be Jewish, but he was rejected.
00:44:21.000 He was rejected by Christians as well.
00:44:24.000 And then he kind of dabbled in some Zoroastrianism.
00:44:28.000 They're at the crossroads of the East-West trade.
00:44:32.000 He watched all this.
00:44:33.000 Absolutely, and he kind of based everything off of that.
00:44:36.000 What's really interesting, maybe we can do another one on this.
00:44:38.000 So when we talk about eschatology, there are players in this, like there's the beast, there's the Antichrist, and so you've got kind of the false prophet.
00:44:45.000 You've got all these kind of characters at play in Christianity, and we go, okay, those are the bad guys.
00:44:49.000 The Messiah coming back, so Jesus coming back, that's the good guy.
00:44:52.000 If you study Islamic eschatology, they have the same cast of characters, except the roles are reversed.
00:44:59.000 All of the bad guys for them are the good guys, and our good guy actually becomes a prophet for them.
00:45:05.000 Jesus is a prophet that actually comes and allows Muhammad to take center stage.
00:45:09.000 It is absolutely mind-blowing when you dive into it.
00:45:13.000 So like, they believe this stuff too.
00:45:15.000 There's an eschatology to their game as well.
00:45:17.000 There's an end times, like the 12th Imam, one of my favorite authors, Joel C. Rosenberg.
00:45:21.000 Yeah, they believe starting nuclear war brings Jesus.
00:45:24.000 It has to be so bad.
00:45:24.000 Exactly.
00:45:25.000 Now think about that.
00:45:27.000 If they think to bring back their kind of world order that they want, their messiah essentially, they have to make the world so bad.
00:45:36.000 I just described to you a scenario where the world is going to get so bad that somebody coming to power, it's going to be very easy for us to hand over our freedom and our liberty because they'll make the world better and we need somebody to do that.
00:45:47.000 These things line up.
00:45:49.000 They think that they have to do that.
00:45:50.000 We don't.
00:45:51.000 We just know that it will happen.
00:45:53.000 Well, this is wild how the Jews sit there and come out with the amazing stuff that's in the Torah, and then they're waiting for it, and then when it finally comes, it changes the whole world and empowers all these societies.
00:46:04.000 They're like, nope!
00:46:05.000 It creates the Renaissance and everything we have, and they just go, nope, we're not accepting that.
00:46:09.000 So, here's why.
00:46:10.000 Here's why the Jews missed it.
00:46:11.000 So, in the book of Isaiah, there's some prophecies that talk about Jesus, right?
00:46:16.000 So, there's some very clearly messianic prophecies that they overlook.
00:46:21.000 Israel was expecting a conquering king.
00:46:24.000 Because in scripture, it says that the Messiah will be a conquering king.
00:46:27.000 That seems reasonable, right?
00:46:29.000 What they didn't understand is that they missed that he would first be a suffering servant.
00:46:34.000 That there are two times the Messiah comes.
00:46:37.000 They were looking for the second time.
00:46:40.000 He came the first time and did this, and Jesus even quoted this, and I'll butcher the quote if I do it, but it's when he stands up and the scroll is unraveled, and he reads kind of a thing from Isaiah, and he stops.
00:46:52.000 And where he stopped was actually a point where it's, I think it's talking about setting captives free, I think.
00:46:57.000 Don't quote me on this, I could be just getting this a slight bit off.
00:47:00.000 And he stops kind of at a comma, so to speak.
00:47:02.000 The comma didn't exist, we inserted that, but he stopped right there.
00:47:05.000 And right after that, it's referring to the second time when it's talking about judgment and destruction.
00:47:10.000 And thank God he stopped.
00:47:11.000 Because if he had come back the first time with condemnation for sinners, people who had completely rejected God, none of us would have had a chance.
00:47:18.000 We wouldn't have been born in the first place, but people would not even have had a chance.
00:47:21.000 But he stopped right there and the Jews missed it because they saw present conditions suck.
00:47:26.000 Rome occupies us, we don't even control it.
00:47:29.000 And how are you gonna get a Messiah that fixes everything if everybody doesn't go under it?
00:47:34.000 Yeah.
00:47:34.000 I mean, it's like the Messiah comes, everybody's gotta follow it.
00:47:36.000 Everybody has to.
00:47:37.000 And so that's why they missed it.
00:47:39.000 And so it's hard for them to come back to it.
00:47:41.000 But here's one of the other things that I'll tell you, kind of a wrapping up point as to why this all matters
00:47:45.000 just a little bit more.
00:47:46.000 One of the things that people get, I guess, confused about is all of the language of Revelation.
00:47:52.000 Well, Revelation 1 through 3 is very clear.
00:47:54.000 Very easy to understand.
00:47:56.000 It's letters to churches.
00:47:57.000 It's some admonitions.
00:47:58.000 It's actually really interesting.
00:47:59.000 The book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible with the audacity to say, as Chuck Missler would say, read me, I'm special.
00:48:04.000 Because it basically promises a blessing to those who read and understand.
00:48:08.000 It's the only book of the Bible that does that.
00:48:10.000 So it's a very important thing to remember.
00:48:12.000 Read that book.
00:48:13.000 There is a blessing to people who read that book.
00:48:15.000 First three chapters, pretty easy.
00:48:17.000 You get to chapter 4, the language changes.
00:48:20.000 All of a sudden, you start to hear things that are very Jewish.
00:48:24.000 Very, very Jewish.
00:48:25.000 You start to tell stories that you don't really understand and you're like, oh my gosh, I don't really understand what they're talking about with the moon and the stars and the sun and the lady and this beast.
00:48:33.000 It's really strange.
00:48:35.000 If you understand your Old Testament, that gets very clear very quickly.
00:48:39.000 That is why the church has messed up so much on the Book of Revelation because the church doesn't spend a lot of time teaching you the Old Testament and giving you a verse by verse by verse understanding of what the Bible says.
00:48:50.000 Well, Christ said he came to fulfill the Old Testament, not to override it.
00:48:53.000 Exactly. He's like, I came to fulfill all of the law, not to get rid of it.
00:48:57.000 Every single thing that has been said in Scripture will be fulfilled.
00:49:00.000 But all of it is written of Christ.
00:49:02.000 The things that were written aforetime were for your benefit.
00:49:05.000 The Old Testament is very important.
00:49:06.000 If you understand your Old Testament, you will understand the book of Revelation much, much
00:49:11.000 better.
00:49:11.000 And you won't fall victim to all of these theories.
00:49:12.000 I think you have to know the Old Testament to know that.
00:49:15.000 You do. But most people think about this.
00:49:16.000 When you're a Christian, I mean, growing up in the 90s, I was a Christian.
00:49:21.000 I was in church, and I read mostly the New Testament.
00:49:23.000 I really wasn't studying the Old Testament until I got into my 20s and went to ministry school, and I was like, I just can't get enough of this.
00:49:28.000 Like, this is explaining so much.
00:49:30.000 It's starting to make sense.
00:49:31.000 Well, because we already did it before.
00:49:32.000 It's all the same stuff we did again.
00:49:33.000 Right, exactly.
00:49:34.000 Like, it's just repeating.
00:49:35.000 The prophecy is pattern thing.
00:49:36.000 There are some things that will just blow your mind in scripture where you're like, I had no idea that when Moses lifted up a snake on a brass snake and people looked upon it, they were healed of the afflictions.
00:49:47.000 And Christ refers to that and says, just like when Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, the son of man will be lifted up and he who looks upon me will be healed.
00:49:55.000 It was a pattern that he was laying down in scripture, but most people miss that because they never read the first story in the first place.
00:50:00.000 And the pattern's key because it connects it all together energetically, spiritually.
00:50:03.000 And you see the patterns being fulfilled, right?
00:50:06.000 God using patterns to kind of set prophecy and those things being fulfilled.
00:50:10.000 So it's very important to understand the Old Testament.
00:50:12.000 So I'd highly encourage you to do that.
00:50:13.000 If you want to study the book of Revelation, there's a lot of great people out there that you can look at.
00:50:17.000 I highly recommend Chuck Missler just because I think he's the right kind of teacher.
00:50:21.000 He's humble.
00:50:22.000 He'll talk to you about stuff that's interesting, but he'll say it's conjecture, not to hold onto that too tightly.
00:50:26.000 But he'll also tell you verse by verse by verse and link you back to the Old Testament every single time.
00:50:32.000 If there's one thing about what Chuck Misler did, he died in 2018, but he was just a phenomenal teacher.
00:50:37.000 He would take I think 30 hours to go through the book of Revelation and kind of walk you through all of this because he's going back to the Old Testament so much to kind of show you, okay, this is what it's talking about.
00:50:47.000 Here's what this is talking about.
00:50:49.000 What's incredible is...
00:50:51.000 What I'm seeing the Great Awakening happening, the third Great Christian Awakening that we've had in the last 300 years, it's not that the church is even teaching this, when it should be, because this is the reality.
00:51:04.000 People are hungry for it.
00:51:06.000 It's that people are out in the world and seeing the Satanism and the occultism and the devil worship and the destruction and the attack on God, the attack on family.
00:51:18.000 I mean, it really is satanic.
00:51:19.000 And so, If people think it's bad now, it's going to get crazier and crazier and crazier.
00:51:26.000 And so that's why people, I think, really need to understand that we're on a planet in space.
00:51:31.000 We were given free will.
00:51:32.000 God really didn't make us.
00:51:33.000 There really is this outside force.
00:51:35.000 You know, there's all the new agers say it's space aliens or whatever.
00:51:38.000 I mean, what is the devil?
00:51:39.000 It's an interdimensional creature stranded here with an army that wants to control us.
00:51:44.000 Because we're made in the image of God and look what we imagine what we're able to build now.
00:51:44.000 Well, why is it?
00:51:49.000 We're like babies still.
00:51:51.000 Oh yeah.
00:51:51.000 The technology, the things we've done, is nothing.
00:51:54.000 Because we are actually more advanced than God's angels.
00:51:58.000 And this is my lay person take.
00:52:01.000 But I mean, we are made in the image of God.
00:52:02.000 We have eternal spirits.
00:52:04.000 And God made other things before and decided to make us later.
00:52:08.000 And these things are jealous of us and want to kill us.
00:52:10.000 And want to get rid of us.
00:52:11.000 I mean, it's really... The demonic forces, yeah.
00:52:13.000 Absolutely.
00:52:14.000 You know what?
00:52:15.000 We'll talk about spiritual warfare in one second here.
00:52:17.000 I think we'll make that into another episode because I think that'll be really interesting.
00:52:20.000 We should do a lot of episodes.
00:52:21.000 Well, you know, I think we'll do that in a minute because that's really important.
00:52:21.000 I want to do them.
00:52:24.000 But look, to Alex's point, we're held responsible as a believer, as a non-believer, whoever it is, it doesn't matter.
00:52:30.000 You're held responsible for the information that you have access to.
00:52:33.000 And right now, you have access to God saying, hey, you won't know the day and the hour.
00:52:37.000 That's fine.
00:52:38.000 Don't worry about that.
00:52:39.000 Know the season.
00:52:40.000 We're in the season.
00:52:41.000 Whether that season is going to take a long time to fulfill, I'm not the guy saying, hey, in two years, in five years, in ten years.
00:52:48.000 I'm just saying that you need to be prepared because that's what God tells you to do.
00:52:52.000 Not because I am saying that.
00:52:54.000 Not because I'm trying to sell you some emergency supply kit or make you a great prepper.
00:52:58.000 I'm just saying it is good for you to be ready.
00:53:01.000 It's also good for you to know the end of the story.
00:53:04.000 We win.
00:53:05.000 We overcome this through Christ.
00:53:08.000 Thank God, literally.
00:53:10.000 Because the world is a very terrible place.
00:53:12.000 It's very sad when you have movies coming up about human trafficking, and that's just one fraction of the debauchery that is on this planet.
00:53:19.000 The things that we do to each other make God cry.
00:53:23.000 And it all comes to an end and he wipes away every single tear from every single eye and you don't have to worry about that anymore.
00:53:29.000 Evil is finally dealt with and justice.
00:53:31.000 And I think that's something really important to say here.
00:53:33.000 And I know we're taping this today so when you put it in post maybe you can add AOC and Al Gore and Beto saying the world ends in 2030.
00:53:41.000 They mean they're artificially collapsing things to consolidate power and depopulate.
00:53:47.000 But really, you've all know Harari and Bill Gates and them saying, the future's not human, by 2047 there'll be no humans, you must merge the machines or we'll get rid of you.
00:53:58.000 They're the ones saying it's the end of the world.
00:54:00.000 They are literally fulfilling prophecy.
00:54:03.000 I remember my grandfather would say, The devil can't help it.
00:54:05.000 He must follow God's plan.
00:54:06.000 He will fulfill the prophecy.
00:54:08.000 And that's the thing is, they think we're the ones saying it to the world.
00:54:11.000 No, we're trying to keep the gas pipelines going.
00:54:13.000 We're trying to keep the nitrogen going.
00:54:14.000 We're trying to keep the farming going.
00:54:15.000 We're trying to stop wars, stabilize the third world.
00:54:18.000 We're not like, oh, we want the end of the world, let's drink Kool-Aid.
00:54:21.000 It's the left and the globalists that are fulfilling it to bring in the crisis, and then they can stop the crisis because they're running it with their anti-Christ.
00:54:30.000 Absolutely.
00:54:31.000 I love that you talk about that because a lot of times you know we live in kind of a world where we're talking politics and we're talking kind of what's going on culturally and obviously there is an intersection of faith to that but sometimes it's hard to kind of break away from that and talk mostly about faith and what's going on.
00:54:45.000 Now this is interesting because the first time that we talked we mentioned some demonic warfare, spiritual warfare topics and I said we're going to wait and actually talk about that.
00:54:53.000 This is something that we'll cross over very cleanly into what's going on today with some of the characters on the, uh, I don't know, on the left, um, that are basically in some way, shape or form controlled, manipulated, influenced by demonic forces.
00:55:08.000 And we'll get into some specifics on that.
00:55:09.000 But, um, recently, I don't remember how long ago exactly it was, but it was, it was an interesting find that Fox News was actually going to, uh, match donations even if it went to, um, some really crazy things, including, uh, some people who are Satan worshippers. Yes. That's a really interesting
00:55:26.000 thing to have the...
00:55:27.000 and look I'm not taking a steaming pile on on Fox though sometimes I think it's
00:55:31.000 definitely warranted but when they do stupid stuff you should definitely call
00:55:33.000 people out and that is a stupid thing. We don't need anybody supporting Satanists.
00:55:38.000 No, I agree.
00:55:39.000 That should be an easy one, I think.
00:55:41.000 And I have not supported Satanists, but I'll go ahead and tell the story.
00:55:43.000 I'm not attacking the person that was my lawyer.
00:55:45.000 I've had probably 20 lawyers in all the lawfare attacks I've been under over the years, and one of the lawyers... Lawfare, that's a good way of putting it.
00:55:52.000 ...that did some filings for me is a big First Amendment lawyer and has represented the ACLU and Farmers and Native Americans and hundreds of groups.
00:56:02.000 And then later I learned they had represented, it's not Church of Satan, it's called something else.
00:56:05.000 The point is, it's that big national group that like puts the Satan things in front of courthouses with like the bafflement and stuff.
00:56:13.000 It'll pop in my head in a minute, look it up.
00:56:17.000 People said, oh my God, your lawyer represents these people.
00:56:20.000 Well, I mean, I agree with their First Amendment, but I don't agree with their ideas.
00:56:22.000 That's just one lawyer I use, who I do not use.
00:56:27.000 Once I basically discovered that only because I don't want that intersection and that was not a choice I made but with the Fox thing it's very clear what they're doing and with like the you know the governor of Illinois promoting chopping up kids and all this When people get confronted with something they're doing that's wrong or an association that's wrong, I think they should have a chance to say, hey, I didn't know, and that's why I'm here.
00:56:48.000 Benefit of the doubt, right?
00:56:50.000 They should be given the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to go, hey, I didn't know that.
00:56:53.000 Well, you never think when you hire a lawyer that they're representing, and I get his argument is, hey, everybody gets free speech.
00:56:58.000 Okay, whatever.
00:56:59.000 You just don't know when you're like, oh yeah, I'll hire this lawyer to file this thing, and they're like, hey, you know, your lawyer represents the, what's it called?
00:57:06.000 It's going to pop my head in a minute.
00:57:08.000 Temple of Satan or something like that.
00:57:11.000 It's a satanic church.
00:57:12.000 That is really all you need to know about it, but I agree with you 100%.
00:57:16.000 There's no guilt by association with that, but it's good to kind of go, okay, well, maybe I don't want that.
00:57:21.000 On the Fox subject, you get to where, you know.
00:57:23.000 On that one, it's not guilt by association, it's guilt by policy.
00:57:26.000 Absolutely, yeah.
00:57:27.000 Trump, he poses in photos with Epstein, you know, a decade before all this stuff happened.
00:57:33.000 He wasn't exactly the frequent flyer that Bill Clinton was on that, so.
00:57:36.000 Satanic Temple!
00:57:37.000 Satanic Temple, there we go.
00:57:40.000 Well look, spiritual warfare is very real.
00:57:42.000 It's referenced in scripture in a number of different places, but Ephesians is one of those places that a lot of people go to.
00:57:47.000 So Ephesians 6.12, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
00:57:57.000 That means powerful places.
00:57:58.000 Read that again.
00:57:58.000 You probably should have started the whole show with that.
00:58:01.000 Read that again slowly.
00:58:02.000 This is key.
00:58:03.000 So Ephesians 6.12, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
00:58:14.000 So the earth is Satan's right now.
00:58:17.000 He doesn't have possession of it forever because Christ comes back with the deed.
00:58:20.000 There's something in Revelation that we didn't talk about where it's written on the outside and inside and that's typically a kind of like a title contract that says Jesus comes down and says basically this is mine, give it back.
00:58:31.000 But right now, this is Satan's domain.
00:58:33.000 For now, we're behind enemy lines.
00:58:35.000 Yes, we absolutely are.
00:58:36.000 We're behind the curtain with all this stuff, and so we have to be very careful.
00:58:39.000 But you have to understand that this is a very real thing.
00:58:43.000 And to the Jewish mind, when these guys are writing to them, we have these kind of new converts to the way, which is Christianity, kind of in the first century.
00:58:50.000 They're very Jewish-minded still, culturally, everything.
00:58:53.000 They understand that.
00:58:54.000 And so when they're looking at this, they know all these things, because in the Old Testament, it's full of it.
00:58:59.000 Now, some people have made the argument That some of the things that they talk about of demon possession in the Old Testament was really like maybe schizophrenia or somebody with a mental illness.
00:59:08.000 I don't think that that is exactly the same thing that it's referring to here because God could have been very particular about that.
00:59:13.000 He could have said that this person had a mental issue.
00:59:16.000 But let's just leave some room for that and know that not every one of them is like that.
00:59:19.000 And I'll give you an example of why I know that.
00:59:21.000 2 Kings 6, 16 and 17.
00:59:23.000 This is one of my favorite Parts of spiritual warfare to understand what's going on because it helps you understand that this battle isn't what most people think it is.
00:59:32.000 Most people think it's just demons flying around influencing people and that's a very scary thought to have.
00:59:37.000 2 Kings 6, 16 and 17.
00:59:40.000 And he answered.
00:59:41.000 So this is Elisha.
00:59:42.000 Let me just set the stage.
00:59:43.000 Elisha is causing problems for some ruling people around the area and he's thwarting some of their military plans.
00:59:50.000 Okay.
00:59:51.000 These guys find out about it, and they come with their army to kill Elisha.
00:59:56.000 His prophet walks outside, sees these guys up on the hillside, freaks out a little bit, understandably so, runs back in and tells Elisha, and here's what he says, and he answered, Fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
01:00:09.000 And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see.
01:00:14.000 And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
01:00:22.000 This is not a fair fight.
01:00:24.000 We win.
01:00:25.000 God opened the eyes of this guy, and immediately he saw the mountain covered with the angels of the Lord's hosts, right?
01:00:32.000 The army of God there to defend Elisha.
01:00:36.000 And Elisha had insight into this.
01:00:38.000 This young man who was serving him did not.
01:00:40.000 And he was able to lift the veil on him, see it.
01:00:43.000 He prayed to God and said, God, will you open his eyes so that he can not worry, so that he is not afraid, so that he can see the fighting that is going on.
01:00:50.000 This isn't just a bunch of bad people showing up.
01:00:52.000 This isn't just a bunch of demons attacking us.
01:00:54.000 We've got an army behind us that's bigger than theirs.
01:00:57.000 We're going to be fine.
01:00:58.000 And in my experience, sneaking into Bohemian Grove and covering skull and bones.
01:01:01.000 Which still freaks me out, by the way, that you snuck into Bohemian Grove.
01:01:04.000 That's crazy.
01:01:05.000 They could have killed you.
01:01:06.000 But the issue is, when you know when God's with you, you feel this big force behind you.
01:01:13.000 And you have to go.
01:01:14.000 But it's beyond confidence.
01:01:17.000 It's not a power trip.
01:01:18.000 It's like, wow, I'm in a river.
01:01:20.000 This is unstoppable.
01:01:23.000 I think about it makes tears in my eyes.
01:01:24.000 It's powerful when you realize you've got all these angels with you.
01:01:27.000 It's big.
01:01:28.000 Well, and it talks about this heavenly host and this cloud of witnesses in the New Testament.
01:01:32.000 Like, this is a topic that you would not have had any trouble talking with somebody about at the time of Christ or shortly after when these books are being written because people understood this.
01:01:41.000 Now today, we look at it as a cult, or we look at it as a scary movie, or maybe it's poltergeist, or maybe it's, you know, something that you see around Halloween, and we think, oh yeah, it's this, he has dead people, whatever, I don't know if spirits are real, but a lot of people are willing to believe in some form of spiritual things that are happening.
01:01:57.000 But more and more people that don't have God, but if you fight evil, but you don't have Christ, people are getting demonically attacked.
01:02:04.000 Yes.
01:02:05.000 Very prominent people, and I can't say names, but I think how dumb the devil is.
01:02:09.000 Like, if I didn't believe in God and now a demon attacks me, I'm going to go to Christ.
01:02:13.000 But a lot of people get scared, like, what do I do, demon?
01:02:15.000 What do I do?
01:02:16.000 Yeah.
01:02:16.000 But it's definitely going on.
01:02:17.000 Well, and a lot of people think that demonic warfare is going to manifest by some coffin opening and something rising up out of the coffin with cobwebs on it.
01:02:25.000 A lot of times it's just people being mean to you, lying about you.
01:02:27.000 Manipulation.
01:02:29.000 I gotta tell you, the strongest thing I ever saw was about Six years ago, my youngest daughter was only about six months old, and my wife, who went to Washington State University there in Seattle, wanted to go see some of her old friends.
01:02:29.000 Manipulation.
01:02:45.000 So we go for five days.
01:02:46.000 So I'm going to go out on the street.
01:02:49.000 And I was literally attacked everywhere.
01:02:51.000 There's video, people dumping coffee on me, all this.
01:02:53.000 But it was like I'd go around corners and it was like they would, they were talking like demons.
01:02:58.000 Someone's on video, they would finish the sentences.
01:03:01.000 And I was like, and you can feel like it was a domain, like the Bible says, like that was under its control, like a satanic 5G or something.
01:03:08.000 And I was just like, and like my camera guy, who normally is fearless, he goes, I can't come out with you anymore.
01:03:13.000 We're not.
01:03:15.000 It'll freak you out!
01:03:16.000 He was saying it, and it was like...
01:03:20.000 And it was like they were boiling out of businesses and stuff to attack us, and they like knew.
01:03:24.000 They weren't even watching it online.
01:03:26.000 It was like there was some kind of like satanic bandwidth or communication system.
01:03:30.000 And so when you're in a city totally controlled by the devil, which is happening to San Francisco, Seattle, these places are falling.
01:03:36.000 There's feces, needles everywhere, and like mentally ill people everywhere.
01:03:40.000 And it's like it's spreading.
01:03:42.000 It's spreading.
01:03:43.000 It's a weapon.
01:03:43.000 For sure.
01:03:44.000 So for those of you who think, oh come on Alex, you're being a little kind of out there on this stuff.
01:03:49.000 Daniel.
01:03:50.000 Daniel had some pretty good insight into this and most people miss it.
01:03:53.000 So Daniel 10.13.
01:03:54.000 This is Daniel praying for 21 days and getting a vision from God, right?
01:04:00.000 That's delivered by an angel.
01:04:02.000 But listen to how he describes this.
01:04:04.000 The angel describes this.
01:04:06.000 This is the angel talking to Daniel in verse 13.
01:04:09.000 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me 21 days and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.
01:04:18.000 This is an angel talking that when you started praying 21 days ago, Daniel, the word went out from God for me to come to you.
01:04:27.000 And this demonic stronghold withheld me for 21 days until I called Michael, the archangel who is known for battle and war.
01:04:35.000 Gabriel is known for being the messenger.
01:04:38.000 Michael had to come and take care of this power, which is not going to be a contest at all.
01:04:43.000 And then I was able to get to you.
01:04:44.000 He's basically cluing you into, there's more going on here than you think.
01:04:48.000 But here's where it gets really interesting in verse 20.
01:04:50.000 He goes, and then he said, do you know why I've come to you?
01:04:53.000 Read this last part is the part that just gives me chills.
01:04:56.000 And now I must return to fight with the Prince of Persia.
01:04:59.000 And when I have gone forth, indeed, the Prince of Greece will come.
01:05:01.000 He's talking about these ruling demonic forces in these places, not an actual person.
01:05:08.000 The Principality of the Air.
01:05:09.000 They have office over the region.
01:05:11.000 So when you talk about going to an area in Seattle and all of a sudden you're in some kind of domain where it seems like this area is in some way different and it's this demonically controlled place.
01:05:11.000 Exactly.
01:05:20.000 That's what Daniel's talking about right here.
01:05:22.000 This is what the angel is telling Daniel.
01:05:24.000 It's like you're walking down the street and I goes, we're going to get you.
01:05:27.000 If you were going to get you in the same voice, you're around the corner.
01:05:30.000 That's right.
01:05:30.000 We told you we're going to get you.
01:05:31.000 And you're like, Whoa, something like it's like it's synced up.
01:05:34.000 Either no more mushrooms or this is really, I wasn't on my shirt.
01:05:37.000 No, I'm just kidding.
01:05:38.000 That's what I'm saying.
01:05:40.000 You get you.
01:05:41.000 No, but that's, that's what people would say.
01:05:42.000 Like, Oh, he's out of his mind.
01:05:43.000 He's doing drugs.
01:05:44.000 He's got a mental illness.
01:05:45.000 I've got more of these things that have happened.
01:05:47.000 I don't even tell them because they'll do that.
01:05:48.000 But I mean, this is totally sober.
01:05:49.000 This has happened and it's like really weird.
01:05:52.000 It's a hundred percent true.
01:05:53.000 Michael Zimmerman is a great guy, but a good Christian guy.
01:05:55.000 And he was like, I got to stay in the hotel.
01:05:57.000 He goes, I can't do this.
01:05:57.000 This is too demonic.
01:05:58.000 No, absolutely.
01:05:59.000 It was like, they were running out of buildings at us and just like,
01:06:01.000 so I had a sort of similar experience, except it was in similar in that I knew
01:06:06.000 that I was in like, Enemy territory.
01:06:08.000 So I went to Cambodia and I was working with a missions organization and the first time we went over there it was about teaching.
01:06:13.000 We went out of the villages and we taught people and showed the Jesus video and there's like a hundred people that came to Christ.
01:06:18.000 It was amazing.
01:06:19.000 And so I worked with them and I came back after a month and we went back because we found out that human trafficking was a huge problem in Cambodia.
01:06:26.000 Second worst place in the world for it next to Thailand.
01:06:29.000 And so we discovered that at the end of our trip.
01:06:31.000 And so I'm on the board of this missions organization, me and a couple of guys.
01:06:34.000 And so I go back there to kind of help set up something to help fight human trafficking, right?
01:06:39.000 Because people can get out of human trafficking but then they fall right back into it because they have no idea how to make a living.
01:06:44.000 Well one of the things that we did while we were there was we went to the local dump because that's where a lot of children unfortunately live in the dump and they're looking for scrap metal and things like that and so ministry partners set up there.
01:06:54.000 And so I start seeing some kids playing with a ball down the alley and I went down there and started playing volleyball with them.
01:07:00.000 Just playing with them just because I wanted to interact it was not part of I wasn't set up to do anything I was just like I'm gonna go over there and interact with these kids and we walked a little further and Someone ran down the alley to one of the people that was Cambodian that was with us and said, hey, you have to leave.
01:07:15.000 And this person looked at me, and then the person from Cambodia, who we were with, looked at me and said, they're saying we need to go.
01:07:22.000 And I looked at their face and immediately I felt it.
01:07:25.000 I was like, there is something demonic here, and immediately we left.
01:07:29.000 Like, we got on our horse and got out of there.
01:07:31.000 And that was just like, that moment where you feel it, like you said, like you could just feel it.
01:07:36.000 We then went from there over to, now I'm forgetting the name of the place that we went, but one of the biggest, the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.
01:07:43.000 Largest Islamic country in the world.
01:07:45.000 It's not the Middle East.
01:07:46.000 Most people don't realize that.
01:07:47.000 It's the largest Islamic country in the world.
01:07:49.000 The entire time we were there, we felt that.
01:07:51.000 Like, you feel this demonic oppression.
01:07:54.000 And it is absolutely real.
01:07:56.000 That's when people get back to America.
01:07:57.000 It's ground.
01:07:58.000 And we're the best house in a bad neighborhood.
01:08:00.000 We're far from perfect, folks.
01:08:01.000 But people that haven't traveled the world, they don't know how oppressive you can feel it.
01:08:05.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:08:07.000 And so, when we talk about spiritual warfare, we talk about, you know, things that maybe are influences, or these principalities, or these powers.
01:08:14.000 And I mentioned earlier when we started that this is Satan's domain.
01:08:17.000 Well, there's a verse in Revelation, I'm sorry, in chapter 12, verse 7 through 9, And it talks about war breaking out in heaven.
01:08:24.000 It says, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, so that's Satan.
01:08:27.000 And the dragon and his angels fought back.
01:08:29.000 Most people don't realize, like, the angels, they weren't, you know, like these machines.
01:08:33.000 They basically had some kind of agency, some kind of free will to be able to make a choice
01:08:37.000 because they fight against God, which is silly, but a third of the angels are actually thrown
01:08:41.000 out, and I'll tell you that in a minute.
01:08:42.000 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
01:08:45.000 The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil, and Satan, who leads the whole world astray.
01:08:50.000 He was hurled to earth and his angels with him.
01:08:53.000 And in Revelation it talks about woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because his time is short.
01:08:59.000 He knows his time is short and you guys are going to have to deal with the fallout.
01:09:02.000 This is his world.
01:09:04.000 A third of the angels came down with him.
01:09:06.000 Those are the demons.
01:09:07.000 And he is the god of this world.
01:09:09.000 Yes, he has the rights to do what he wants to some degree in this world.
01:09:13.000 Now, there are limitations to that, thank God.
01:09:16.000 Otherwise, no flesh would survive.
01:09:18.000 So thank God for that being held off a little bit.
01:09:21.000 But it's not just... Okay, so Satan's here.
01:09:24.000 There's these principalities.
01:09:26.000 What about guys like Gavin Newsom?
01:09:27.000 I think that's what we mentioned earlier in the other show we did, where we talked about... Well, the people that are demonically influenced... Right.
01:09:32.000 AOC, I think you mentioned.
01:09:34.000 Well, I mean, when you... I mean, when I think you look at any... AOC, Biden, they're completely taken over.
01:09:40.000 With Newsom, their influence, they're also taken over.
01:09:43.000 It's just... I mean, I... Anybody can see it, but if you have any discernment, you look at Newsom, it's like when you look at...
01:09:51.000 You look at Bill Clinton, you look at Hillary, looks like a big clown demon.
01:09:54.000 I'd say she's about nine percent level as bad as Newsom.
01:09:57.000 But my spirit tells me Newsom is about the most evil thing I've ever seen walking around.
01:10:01.000 Right.
01:10:02.000 I mean, that's like, the Holy Spirit tells me that's really bad right there.
01:10:05.000 And so don't think of evil as coming and being somebody who's committing murder, right?
01:10:05.000 Right.
01:10:10.000 That is an evil act.
01:10:12.000 But what I'm saying is it may not be that obvious.
01:10:15.000 Right?
01:10:15.000 You start to see that, but as conservatives we see it because it's a very obvious thing.
01:10:22.000 We're like, oh my gosh, as a conservative Christian, I look at Gavin Newsom and I see what his policies are and I'm absolutely repulsed by it.
01:10:29.000 So that's a very easy thing for me to see.
01:10:31.000 But if you're somebody maybe who is a Democrat, you may look at it and be like, oh, well, you just disagree with him.
01:10:35.000 That's not what we're talking about.
01:10:36.000 Like these kinds of people, demonic Influence, if you will.
01:10:40.000 C.S.
01:10:40.000 Lewis wrote a book called The Screwtape Letters, which is basically... Powerful.
01:10:43.000 It's incredible, right?
01:10:44.000 It's basically this correspondence between demons, kind of a newer demon.
01:10:48.000 Trying to figure out how to get this young fighter pilot to not come to God, and of course they lose in the end.
01:10:53.000 Exactly.
01:10:54.000 But it's tactics.
01:10:55.000 It's like, well, have you tried this?
01:10:56.000 Have you tried this?
01:10:57.000 Have you tried to make work so important that he neglects his family, and so that his family disintegrates, and his kids hate him, and his wife hates him, and so he'll run away from God because he'll blame God.
01:11:05.000 Like, it's all of these different things that the demon is trying to do to influence.
01:11:10.000 And so when we talk about it- What's crazy is it's real.
01:11:12.000 Yeah.
01:11:12.000 It's like Avatar.
01:11:13.000 They're right there, right beyond light vision.
01:11:16.000 And now, the funny thing is, none of the globalists are atheists now.
01:11:19.000 If you look at the quantum mechanics and the physicists now, they all know dark matter is five times stronger.
01:11:24.000 They all call it a simulation, but it's just God holding this together.
01:11:27.000 I mean, they know this is not all there is.
01:11:30.000 We see a very limited spectrum, and there are these things that want to destroy us.
01:11:34.000 Absolutely.
01:11:35.000 And the battle is real.
01:11:36.000 And if you are not prepared, no flesh is going to be saved.
01:11:39.000 Right?
01:11:39.000 And it's not like we're up here playing Dungeons and Dragons for liberals to tune in.
01:11:43.000 I know our general audience gets this, but to the average trendy,
01:11:45.000 oh, these guys just have this fiction book from thousands of years ago,
01:11:49.000 and they're trying to make it real, and they have this normalcy bias,
01:11:53.000 and they're just confirming everything.
01:11:55.000 No, the whole world's being built like it said it would be.
01:11:58.000 The whole thing's happening, and humans are going out of their way
01:12:02.000 to screw themselves and screw others and hurt children, and saying they do it for the devil.
01:12:06.000 And I've looked at it, it's real.
01:12:08.000 And there's this army that is out to keep us from doing what we're about to do.
01:12:13.000 Because God said, the eye hasn't seen, the ear's not here.
01:12:16.000 No one knows what God's got in store for us.
01:12:18.000 So we've got some big mission that we're not supposed to do.
01:12:22.000 People get mad at God and say, well, why did God do this?
01:12:24.000 You know, the Satanist always says, well, God's a Satanist.
01:12:26.000 Why did God do this?
01:12:27.000 No, God gave us free will and gave us a choice because God loves us.
01:12:30.000 And then God even gave us a cheat sheet.
01:12:32.000 So people need to know, folks, just believe in Christ, know the devil's real, pray to God, pray for Christ to protect you, and everything will open up.
01:12:40.000 And your problems will literally not go away, but you'll see God in your life and you'll see it push back.
01:12:46.000 You'll see the beginning of victory.
01:12:48.000 And I'll tell you, I've always been a Christian, but it's the last 10 years or so that I really try to promote Jesus every day that the enemy came after me.
01:12:55.000 People say, well, then you shouldn't do that.
01:12:57.000 No, I should do that.
01:12:58.000 But I'm telling you, they don't like it, folks.
01:13:00.000 They know it's powerful.
01:13:01.000 They, I mean, like nothing is even 10% close to it.
01:13:04.000 Like you say Jesus Christ to the devil, to his demons, the things, I know prominent household names that were being attacked viciously by basically demons.
01:13:13.000 And they didn't know why, they didn't believe in God, but they were doing things double in length.
01:13:18.000 And they went to mystics, they went to Jewish leaders, and said, oh, you know, what do I wear this Kabbalah bracelet, say these prayers?
01:13:23.000 Didn't help them.
01:13:25.000 And they got told, pray to Jesus, and when these things attack, say the name of Jesus, you are commanded to leave, and gone!
01:13:32.000 Now, look, that's the name they can't handle, folks!
01:13:36.000 Everything's about the fruits, the proof.
01:13:39.000 Like, you detonate a hydrogen bomb, it blows up.
01:13:40.000 You say, Jesus, it blows up.
01:13:42.000 There's nothing like it.
01:13:44.000 It's real, okay?
01:13:45.000 Right.
01:13:46.000 Christ has the deed, went to hell, got the keys, but can't free the earth until we join him.
01:13:51.000 And as soon as we do that, it's game over.
01:13:53.000 Yeah.
01:13:54.000 There is no stronger name, right?
01:13:56.000 There's no name under heaven given to man that can absolutely carry the power of Jesus' name.
01:14:01.000 But as somebody who maybe is not a believer, Like, if you're not on that team, you are susceptible to some of these things a little bit more than maybe a believer would be.
01:14:10.000 I don't say that to scare you, I say that to caution you.
01:14:12.000 Don't play around with these things.
01:14:14.000 Because no amount of you saying no as a non-believer and not invoking... Your will cannot stand against Satan!
01:14:21.000 No, absolutely not.
01:14:23.000 And also, do me a favor.
01:14:23.000 Just get that to your head.
01:14:24.000 Do me a favor.
01:14:25.000 I feel, so, this is something that a lot of you need to hear.
01:14:28.000 Satan is blamed for a lot of things that he didn't do.
01:14:30.000 When you do stuff that's really dumb... A lot of it's us.
01:14:33.000 Exactly.
01:14:34.000 You have to take some personal responsibility, so don't look at this as the boogeyman situation where it's like, well, he did it, right?
01:14:39.000 No, but there is some very real stuff that is going on in the world right now that there is a spiritual battle that is taking place.
01:14:46.000 This is not just one side on the left versus one side on the right, and they have different ideas.
01:14:51.000 And it's not even really about politics, because at the end of the day, none of this... I'm a monarchist!
01:14:57.000 By definition, I am a monarchist.
01:14:59.000 I am wanting God to come and rule and reign.
01:15:02.000 That's my monarchist.
01:15:03.000 It doesn't mean that I don't love my country, I do.
01:15:04.000 It doesn't mean that I don't want America to thrive.
01:15:07.000 I do, but I understand that it is a bigger game than just what we have here, and we need to be prepared for it.
01:15:13.000 So fight for here, it's very important, but understand that there's another battle going on, and you have to be prepared for it.
01:15:20.000 And you understand their tactics a little bit better when you look at something like this.
01:15:23.000 And Alex, I mean, I didn't pay much attention to politics in the 90s.
01:15:28.000 I really didn't.
01:15:29.000 I was doing my thing.
01:15:30.000 I kind of knew some stuff.
01:15:32.000 I didn't really care a whole lot about a bunch of different topics that were going on, so I didn't pay much attention.
01:15:37.000 But the homosexual agenda that was being pushed on people was something that did cross my radar because it was being talked about a little in churches, and it was really being pushed on my generation.
01:15:47.000 And so a lot of people out there, we have people that watch this show that would say that they are gay or lesbian or whatever, right?
01:15:53.000 And that's fine.
01:15:54.000 I'm not saying that you should do that.
01:15:57.000 I think the Bible does call that sin.
01:15:58.000 You have to address that.
01:15:59.000 If you have a problem with that, you have to take it up with God and not me.
01:16:01.000 But I do love you as a person, just like I love every sinner out there.
01:16:05.000 in the world. But there's what's attached to it. Exactly. I never would have thought that we would
01:16:11.000 go the steps that we've gone to but those steps well what about pedophilia what about this trans
01:16:17.000 thing what about all of these other issues. Exactly as soon as we said hey we don't hate you
01:16:22.000 we disagree with you but it opened the gate up to just. And they said no no that's a straw man.
01:16:27.000 Come on, you're just making up an argument.
01:16:29.000 That's not real.
01:16:30.000 This thing isn't going to happen.
01:16:31.000 No one wants to sterilize your children.
01:16:33.000 No.
01:16:33.000 Oh, I remember the really smart, hardcore Christians who I even kind of poo-pooed because I'm like, look, gay people, whatever.
01:16:39.000 I love God, but whatever, you know.
01:16:43.000 Why are you obsessing on that?
01:16:44.000 But then they were right.
01:16:45.000 They said, once that first domino falls, bestiality, pedophilia, and it's all true.
01:16:51.000 And we're living in a day where it's like we look back and we're like, gosh, we were more right than we thought.
01:16:55.000 Yeah.
01:16:56.000 And Christians were dead on.
01:16:58.000 What's crazy is the Christians in the 80s and 90s I wish they were here now because they were superstars of reality and now maybe they're censored or I don't know but I don't really I know they're there but I don't see like Christians should be doing a big victory lap like everything we said is coming true you always say hey you know Elon Musk said we need more conspiracy theories they all came true or what conspiracies didn't turn out to be true.
01:17:23.000 People say, Oh, Jones, Alex Jones is pretty.
01:17:26.000 I knew most of this was in the Bible.
01:17:28.000 I had no idea the frogs were being turned gay.
01:17:29.000 I thought you were just kidding.
01:17:31.000 That was just me reading some report.
01:17:33.000 Actually, we read a story the other day.
01:17:35.000 We're like, well, son of a gun.
01:17:37.000 I just saw that in a report too, so they just used me out of context.
01:17:40.000 They knew it was true.
01:17:41.000 They used me making a joke about it to make it a joke.
01:17:43.000 I know it was a joke, but it was like, I took a joke because you can't even joke and not be right, Alex.
01:17:48.000 That's the problem with all this stuff.
01:17:50.000 We can't even make it up anymore because it keeps coming true.
01:17:52.000 And we're like, all right, well, they won't.
01:17:53.000 Certainly they won't.
01:17:54.000 So listen, for people that aren't Christian and don't like the cosmology of God and his machines, these angels that have free will and us, There's a bunch of dimensions.
01:18:03.000 We're on a planet.
01:18:04.000 There's all sorts of stuff swarming around in space.
01:18:06.000 We're under attack and this message is kill yourself.
01:18:09.000 Humans are bad.
01:18:10.000 Murder yourself.
01:18:11.000 And by the way, we love Satan and we want to rape kids.
01:18:13.000 I mean, the people running things are bad.
01:18:17.000 Well, that stuff's not just there already.
01:18:19.000 It's celebrated.
01:18:20.000 That's the thing.
01:18:20.000 It's celebrated.
01:18:21.000 It's celebrated.
01:18:22.000 There's more human trafficking going on right now than any other time in human history.
01:18:26.000 It's huge.
01:18:27.000 It is one of the most... When I say human trafficking, I'm not talking about like a 20-year-old woman.
01:18:32.000 That's horrific.
01:18:33.000 That is as bad as it needs to be.
01:18:35.000 There's another level of kids There are people on this planet that pay money to have sex with children.
01:18:44.000 And it is not being met with the kind of thing, I think Donald Trump's response, if you're in human trafficking, death penalty.
01:18:52.000 That's the kind of response you should have to evil at that level.
01:18:55.000 But there is a group of people on this planet that is pushing the agenda of, hey, let's normalize pedophilia.
01:19:02.000 Let's normalize these kinds of love is love.
01:19:05.000 OK, so there's no restrictions on that no matter how old they are.
01:19:08.000 And again, if we put up with that, if we'll let them have sex with kids, folks, there's no limit.
01:19:12.000 I mean, that's the final thing.
01:19:14.000 If we won't protect our children, God is going to turn his back on us.
01:19:18.000 Well, some of the most severe people look at the Canaanite genocide, I think is what they call it in scripture, where when they come back... Exactly.
01:19:27.000 You read my mind because that society, what they would do is they had a god called Molech and he had hands on him.
01:19:34.000 They would put fire underneath that and heat this, the metal hands up to where they were glowing hot and then put live children on them to sacrifice to that god.
01:19:44.000 Think about that.
01:19:44.000 They barbecue their babies.
01:19:46.000 And we think about that abstractly.
01:19:46.000 Exactly.
01:19:48.000 God saw it as His children, and He wiped that out.
01:19:52.000 He wiped that out of Canaan.
01:19:55.000 So when you want to talk about... Well, He told the Israelites, I'm giving you an order, kill these people.
01:20:00.000 Get rid of every single man, woman, and child.
01:20:02.000 And you look at that and you're like, oh my gosh, how do you deal with that?
01:20:04.000 You need to understand what was happening there.
01:20:06.000 And that sounds really, really, really harsh.
01:20:09.000 And I, listen, it is.
01:20:10.000 But God sees sin, and he didn't want that infection spreading to the rest of the world.
01:20:15.000 Because that would have meant more death, more destruction.
01:20:19.000 And you need to understand that.
01:20:20.000 Like, that's what's happening today.
01:20:21.000 You know what we're doing?
01:20:22.000 We're not necessarily heating up the altar and placing a child on it, but we are throwing this child on the altar of medical intervention to change their sex when they're seven years old.
01:20:32.000 Which is a form of human sacrifice to take their fertility.
01:20:35.000 Yeah.
01:20:35.000 I mean, think about what you're doing to that person.
01:20:38.000 Here's the thing.
01:20:39.000 People that have abortions and don't know that it's a child can repent and say they're sorry later.
01:20:43.000 Yeah.
01:20:43.000 But I could do like 10 hours on liberals, Gloria Steinem.
01:20:48.000 Yeah, I killed that little son of a bitch.
01:20:49.000 It is a human.
01:20:50.000 And I killed him and I like it.
01:20:51.000 And women go, and I get pregnant just to kill him.
01:20:53.000 I know.
01:20:54.000 You're doing self-talk videos celebrating that they're jumping up and down on doors trying to kill him.
01:20:59.000 Crazy.
01:20:59.000 I forgot the name again.
01:21:00.000 Church of Satan, what are they called?
01:21:02.000 Satanic Temple.
01:21:02.000 Temple of Satan.
01:21:03.000 Satanic Temple.
01:21:04.000 They have filed in Texas and a bunch of states.
01:21:06.000 They just got denied by like the Supreme Court.
01:21:08.000 Temple of Satan.
01:21:09.000 Saying, no, when we kill babies, it's a ritual.
01:21:12.000 They said it's our First Amendment under our religion to kill babies.
01:21:15.000 Really?
01:21:16.000 Yeah, they came out.
01:21:17.000 Unbelievable.
01:21:17.000 And they just got overturned.
01:21:18.000 I know that doesn't, listeners, I know that doesn't sound real.
01:21:23.000 I bet the crew can pull it up right now.
01:21:25.000 It's one of those other things that's gonna come out and be like, yeah, he was 100% serious.
01:21:28.000 Temple of Satan says abortion, part of First Amendment ritual.
01:21:36.000 Oh, you know what?
01:21:37.000 I bet yes.
01:21:38.000 Probably in response to Roe v. Wade.
01:21:40.000 Yeah.
01:21:40.000 Probably trying to say, like, no, that's part of our First Amendment rights.
01:21:42.000 God, I just got overturned by a federal appeals court.
01:21:44.000 My point is, is that they're admitting it's a sacrament.
01:21:46.000 And let me tell you something.
01:21:47.000 I've gone out and protested for 30 years at abortion clinics.
01:21:50.000 Even before I got on air, I was doing that.
01:21:52.000 And you think, okay, I'm going to go stand 100 feet away like you're supposed to under federal law and hold the sign up.
01:21:57.000 The doctors come out.
01:21:58.000 You've seen the videos going, I've been a killer and I love the devil!
01:22:01.000 And weirdos show up in black Mercedes and hold stuff up in front of you and yell at you and spit on you and, we're getting those kids, you won't stop us!
01:22:09.000 And there's hundreds of videos, thousands of videos.
01:22:11.000 You go to the Texas Statehouse when they're trying to pass these laws and there's women Suits Queen.
01:22:18.000 I love Satan.
01:22:20.000 Devil!
01:22:21.000 I'm gonna kill you, Satan!
01:22:22.000 And you think, oh, they're just doing that to shock us.
01:22:24.000 No, they're coming under this.
01:22:26.000 Yeah.
01:22:26.000 Because this is the murder of children.
01:22:28.000 This is the Satan's, like, paycheck, man.
01:22:31.000 This is, like, this is their thing.
01:22:33.000 I mean, remember Schumer that time, never shows emotion.
01:22:36.000 About two years ago, he goes, you get rid of Roe Wade, you have some in the home, and we're gonna get you!
01:22:45.000 I mean it was just like, that is their quarry.
01:22:47.000 That is the lion over the baby.
01:22:48.000 Yeah, well I mean it's 60 million plus Americans have been killed.
01:22:52.000 64 million or something.
01:22:53.000 It's an incredible number, but again, we look back and Alex, what I said about Molech, most people probably recoiled a little bit.
01:23:02.000 I mean, people may have actually gasped.
01:23:04.000 Somebody may have cried from hearing that.
01:23:07.000 What about 60 million kids killed in the womb?
01:23:11.000 What about federal documents, which I heard about 20 years ago, that confirmed the last three years in lawsuits by LifeSite and others, where it says the university wants the fetus delivered heart beating.
01:23:24.000 They're delivering babies to these facilities.
01:23:26.000 I know it doesn't sound real.
01:23:27.000 For harvesting.
01:23:28.000 For harvesting.
01:23:29.000 Yeah.
01:23:30.000 I mean, unfortunately it does, but look, that's the debauchery that we're living under.
01:23:35.000 I think you made the comment, I can't remember if it was on this show or the last show, where we basically said we're the best house in a bad neighborhood.
01:23:42.000 We still got some really big problems in our house, and this is not just people being misled.
01:23:47.000 I don't want you to think that, because if you think it's just people being misled, then you're not going to understand and appreciate the
01:23:53.000 situation.
01:23:54.000 Well, that's the thing. 20 years ago, most liberals were still nice people,
01:23:57.000 misguided, who thought they were the good guys. I go to their events, I cover them, so do you.
01:24:01.000 I mean, I'd say half of them are demon possessed now, and another 30, 40% of what's left is crazed,
01:24:10.000 and maybe 10% still deceived.
01:24:12.000 I mean, they are foaming at the mouth.
01:24:14.000 So when I act all crazy and do that, there's videos of all that.
01:24:16.000 I'm just doing imitations.
01:24:17.000 Yeah.
01:24:17.000 I'm a good, you know, imitator.
01:24:19.000 They are, I mean, they are, they are not, they are devil worshipers.
01:24:23.000 They absolutely are, and they're being controlled by that, but it's a bigger picture.
01:24:27.000 So you can fight all you want, and like I said, you should.
01:24:30.000 You should fight.
01:24:30.000 I'm so glad Donald Trump's legacy, if it is nothing else, is the Supreme Court.
01:24:36.000 That is his legacy.
01:24:36.000 He did a great job there.
01:24:38.000 He did a phenomenal job.
01:24:38.000 And that's Trump's biggest problem, is he was like me until about five years ago.
01:24:42.000 Myself, five years ago.
01:24:43.000 He thought he could beat it himself.
01:24:44.000 I know people behind the scenes that know him.
01:24:45.000 He really knows God now.
01:24:47.000 He's praying every day.
01:24:47.000 He's really, that's why they're so scared.
01:24:49.000 But I mean, and I've always loved Christ, but I still thought until about five years ago, It was still me, like, I'm gonna beat him, and I got this will and the strength and some pride.
01:24:57.000 And I really realized, God's like, no, you're actually powerless, it's all me.
01:25:01.000 And it actually takes the weight off you, but you still fight, but you just go, no, I don't have to prove anything, I'm just gonna have to do what God says.
01:25:08.000 Well, you know what?
01:25:08.000 Go where God tells you to go.
01:25:10.000 Do what God tells you to do.
01:25:11.000 Let the Holy Spirit speak through you.
01:25:12.000 Let God get these victories because ultimately what you want is change.
01:25:17.000 Ultimately, what we wanted was Roe v. Wade struck down.
01:25:19.000 Now, it's not perfect because it does leave it to the states.
01:25:21.000 I think that's the best way to do it.
01:25:23.000 I just want the states to do the right thing.
01:25:24.000 That's why it's not perfect because some states are celebrating it and saying, hey, we'll pay for you to have your employees come here and get the abortion still, right?
01:25:32.000 But we've got a culture of death.
01:25:34.000 This is a spiritual battle.
01:25:37.000 This is a spiritual battle that we've been fighting since we were created.
01:25:41.000 We've constantly been lied to and told that we can be God, and yet we go out and act like Satan all the time.
01:25:48.000 Humans, left to their own devices, do not get better.
01:25:52.000 That's not how we operate.
01:25:53.000 We're very selfish beings.
01:25:55.000 And so if you think that humanity's answer is just for everybody to get out of the way and that religion needs to leave us alone and that we can all just kind of be our own gods and we're going to get better, we're going to love one another.
01:26:06.000 You're a fool.
01:26:07.000 You've not studied history.
01:26:08.000 Well, let me just say this to people.
01:26:09.000 What you're saying, Gerald, is so on target.
01:26:12.000 Folks, I know a lot of new viewers because I care about the regular viewers that are awake and we love you and you're the reason the show's here and you support it.
01:26:18.000 But the mission is to reach the new people.
01:26:21.000 The devil's real, God's real, this energy's real, and people out there that feel alone and don't know why things don't make sense, just give it a try.
01:26:29.000 Reach out to God and say, are you real?
01:26:30.000 Show me in my spirit.
01:26:31.000 Because our God is the real God.
01:26:33.000 It doesn't rape you.
01:26:34.000 It doesn't take over your free will like Satan does.
01:26:36.000 You've got to really ask God to come knock at your door.
01:26:40.000 Just pray to God tonight.
01:26:42.000 Start praying every morning, every night.
01:26:43.000 Say, I want to be good.
01:26:44.000 I want to know the future.
01:26:45.000 I want to know what's happening.
01:26:46.000 I want to know your vision for me.
01:26:48.000 And I'm open, and show me.
01:26:50.000 And God is going to show you.
01:26:52.000 And you may have committed a lot of really bad acts.
01:26:53.000 God may cut your heart and say you need to repent of that.
01:26:55.000 Because God has to open the channel up and get the repenting going where he can really beam you the information.
01:27:01.000 Because you've got to reject what you've done wrong and then kick that trash out the door.
01:27:05.000 But I'm telling you, God is so real and is just waiting to take your hand.
01:27:09.000 Please take God's hand.
01:27:10.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:27:11.000 And he wants what's best for you.
01:27:12.000 Life is not found in the way that the world wants you to live.
01:27:15.000 It's not.
01:27:16.000 And you know what?
01:27:18.000 The Andrew Tate's of the world with the video, you know, the webcam stuff that he did, that was not where life was found.
01:27:23.000 Having all the money, all the cars.
01:27:24.000 And notice that was used to hurt him bad.
01:27:27.000 Exactly.
01:27:27.000 That's not where life is found.
01:27:29.000 Life is not found in fame.
01:27:30.000 It's not found in fortune.
01:27:31.000 It's not found in having every single pleasure that you can possibly imagine.
01:27:35.000 People have tried.
01:27:36.000 And you may be able to reach certain people.
01:27:38.000 I'm not putting Andrew down, but here's my Bugatti and here I am and I'm, you know, it's like, yeah, you're getting a bunch of like, People that are lost, like we can all sit here and show off some wealth.
01:27:50.000 What does that do?
01:27:51.000 The wealth is God, the wealth is humanity, the wealth is our future, the wealth is our consciousness.
01:27:55.000 It's all His and can go away in a moment, right?
01:27:57.000 And so there is a spiritual battle that is going on.
01:28:00.000 You need to understand it.
01:28:01.000 You don't need to be afraid, but you need to understand that it is real and that it's happening all around right now.
01:28:07.000 Like the scriptures that I read just told you it was.
01:28:09.000 That stuff didn't stop and go away just because we're 2,000 years past No, we've just forgotten the truth.
01:28:14.000 For sure.
01:28:15.000 We've forgotten it and we've, honestly what we've done is we've made it into a holiday.
01:28:20.000 We've made spiritual warfare into a holiday.
01:28:22.000 We're like, Halloween, we get to celebrate ghosts and all this stuff.
01:28:24.000 Well, look at how the Jews were this tiny little group and were able to defeat all their enemies and all this stuff, because they figured this out.
01:28:29.000 We're calling in the angels.
01:28:30.000 And the minute they didn't, the minute they went against God's plan, they started losing the battles and they literally changed real time.
01:28:36.000 Real time and won.
01:28:38.000 Following God's plan.
01:28:39.000 Look it up in the Old Testament.
01:28:41.000 And some of these battles are like, all right, we're going to go do our own thing.
01:28:44.000 Nope, you're going to lose.
01:28:45.000 Okay, we're going to change and do God's thing.
01:28:46.000 Wow, we won with only 300 people.
01:28:48.000 That's incredible.
01:28:48.000 They, and you can say, well, that's a story.
01:28:50.000 No, I've experienced where I literally just go, God, I can't do it.
01:28:54.000 Help me.
01:28:54.000 And they're like, it changes like boom.
01:28:55.000 Yeah.
01:28:56.000 And I'm already in line with God.
01:28:57.000 I'm already, but I'm a, you gotta really just go.
01:28:59.000 I know you're going to do it.
01:29:00.000 Please.
01:29:00.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:29:01.000 Of course it can't be some prayer.
01:29:02.000 Like give me a $10 million.
01:29:03.000 It means you ask me.
01:29:06.000 It has to be in line with God's will.
01:29:08.000 Yeah.
01:29:08.000 But if you ask God to do something that's in line with God's will, it's going to happen.
01:29:11.000 Yeah.
01:29:12.000 So look, if you're, if you're somebody who has never prayed to God before, like Alex said, just pray and say, God, look, I don't understand this.
01:29:17.000 Just have a genuine conversation.
01:29:18.000 God, I think you're real.
01:29:20.000 I think I need a savior because I know certainly that left to my own devices that I'm going to do really terrible things because I've done really terrible things in the past.
01:29:27.000 Maybe I'm better than my friend across the street, but I'm still not good because ultimately I believe that you alone are good.
01:29:35.000 So can you just help me understand this?
01:29:36.000 Can you help me understand what it means to pray?
01:29:38.000 What it means to be saved?
01:29:39.000 What it means to understand that Christ died for my sins?
01:29:41.000 What it means that you knew all of this was going to happen and you valued free will so much that you sacrificed your own son who had never been apart from you in ways that we can't even comprehend on a cross.
01:29:52.000 And you knew it was going to take that to make sure that I had the opportunity today To get down on my knees, sit on my bed, stand here wherever I have time, and pray to you.
01:30:01.000 You did all of that just so that I would have this opportunity today.
01:30:04.000 And just see what happens, guys.
01:30:05.000 And if you have questions about it, if you need some guidance on where to go to find a church or anything like that, just shoot us an email.
01:30:11.000 You can do it at tipsatladderwithprider.com.
01:30:13.000 We'll make sure that we check that.
01:30:14.000 Maybe we'll set up another email for it later.
01:30:16.000 But look, this is an opportunity.
01:30:18.000 There's a battle going on.
01:30:19.000 It's happening all around you.
01:30:20.000 You're probably affected by it more than you know, but I guarantee you the country that you are in is fighting it tooth and nail right now.
01:30:28.000 And we're not always winning and we need to.
01:30:29.000 So, thanks very much guys.
01:30:31.000 Alex, thanks for being with me.
01:30:32.000 I really do appreciate it.
01:30:32.000 That has been Gerald apologizes apologetics.
