In this episode, I sit down with Alex Jones to discuss demons, the Mark of the Beast, and the end of the world. We talk about his childhood growing up in the 60's and 70's, and how he came to believe in the end times.
00:00:46.000I 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.
00:01:47.000I know there's massive amounts of study.
00:01:48.000I 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.
00:02:00.000He was really smart and quite the historian.
00:02:04.000He'd been a successful inventor, a lot of other things.
00:02:07.000But the last 20 years of his life, he's dedicated to studying the Bible.
00:02:10.000I remember him like Breaking down the New World Order and global government.
00:02:13.000They'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.
00:02:18.000He 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.
00:02:23.000It's that taking it you have to submit and worship and follow the whole system.
00:02:27.000So he would basically rant, kind of like Alex Jones, almost like he was my grandfather.
00:02:33.000Just 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.
00:02:43.000What years, roughly, what decade was this?
00:02:45.000I was, I graduated out of high school in 92.
00:02:54.000And he was just really big into eschatology.
00:02:57.000And so that, I mean, I heard a lot from him.
00:03:00.000Well, the church used to be really big into it, and that's why I was really asking that.
00:03:03.000Because 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.
00:03:08.000So let me just tell the guys listening and gals right now, we're talking about the end times.
00:03:12.000So eschatology is kind of the study of the end times.
00:03:14.000And 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.
00:03:25.000And some of the things that Alex just said would have just been in the 1960s, 1950s, 40s, 1800s.
00:03:38.000Anytime 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.
00:03:46.000And this subject is debated quite a bit, right?
00:03:48.000We were talking just a second ago about mid-trib, pre-trib, post-trib, no-trib, whatever.
00:03:53.000There are a lot of different reasons for you to care about this, right?
00:03:57.000We'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.
00:04:12.000You can't accidentally take the Mark of the Beast, but we're going to hit a few more points.
00:04:15.000Maybe 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?
00:04:24.000They were waiting for and looking for and desperately hoping for Messiah to come.
00:04:28.000For every prophecy on the Bible about Messiah's first coming, there are roughly eight concerning the second coming.
00:04:34.000There's eight more than the first coming, right?
00:04:38.000So 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.
00:04:46.000They do take time to go, revelation's tough to understand.
00:04:50.000Revelation'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.
00:04:55.000And we'll get into why some Christians have a bit of a problem with that.
00:04:59.000But 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.
00:05:05.000And obviously the first one was a big deal because it kind of saved people.
00:05:09.000Without 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.
00:05:14.000But I guess my big question, Alex, is Why?
00:05:22.000So 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?
00:05:31.000I 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.
00:05:37.000I 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.
00:05:46.000And I could watch if I wanted to and hang out there if I wanted to.
00:05:49.000There'd be like 20 people there, but usually there'd be some other kids we'd run around outside.
00:05:52.000And we went to church on Wednesdays, and We went to a evangelical style, you know, a pretty big church.
00:06:02.000And so I was just growing up with this as a background.
00:06:05.000And so it's kind of the back of your head.
00:06:08.000And 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.
00:06:16.000He died about 12 years ago, my grandmother about five years ago.
00:06:19.000He was just constantly saying, watch, this is all going to be fulfilled.
00:06:22.000And he would get really upset when he'd see these preachers on TV setting a date.
00:06:26.000He would say, those people are deceived by setting a date.
00:06:29.000Then when it doesn't happen, that's going to make people fall away.
00:06:33.000And 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.
00:06:40.000And 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.
00:06:48.000Then they say, oh, the Bible's disproven.
00:07:12.000So many people are turned off by the church.
00:07:15.000Because it's preaching a watered-down Bible, and it's also just attacking people individually instead of showing them the big picture.
00:07:24.000The devil's real, God's real, you better pick a side.
00:07:26.000And so that's why I'm so much into end times is...
00:07:30.000It'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.
00:07:56.000There's no way Daniel just made it up or Ezekiel.
00:07:59.000And it's just all congruent, proving itself, proving itself, proving itself.
00:08:02.000And so if someone doesn't have the Holy Spirit of discernment, they read it as a bunch of gibberish.
00:08:08.000You said something so important that I'll shut up for a minute, Gerald.
00:08:11.000And 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.
00:08:19.000And 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.
00:08:28.000And then, once the 90s and the 2000s hit, once it all started coming true, the preachers went, whoa!
00:08:34.000Because it's one thing to say, the Bible says it's coming, and then it's kind of like science fiction and really interesting.
00:08:39.000But 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.
00:08:47.000God gave us free will, but God also gave us a cheat sheet.
00:08:58.000And then I think about the experiences I had in Dallas, particularly, and then coming to Austin and then being around Hollywood, Yeah.
00:09:04.000which I never tried to be in, but it wanted me to be in it.
00:09:06.000And it was Satanism, Luciferianism, sex parties, the whole nine yards.
00:09:11.000I never got into rituals, but I was picked up by chicks repeatedly trying to recruit me into things
00:09:16.000in Dallas and a decade later in Hollywood.
00:09:20.000Austin's more new agey, not a lot of that here.
00:09:23.000But that's almost a more creepy form of it.
00:09:25.000So I've really, you know, I never fell away and said, I denounce God and God isn't real, I'm an atheist.
00:09:31.000But 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.
00:09:47.000Uh, 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.
00:09:53.000And 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.
00:09:59.000And I just, now I get stronger and stronger and stronger to where you talk about spiritual warfare.
00:10:34.000And 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.
00:10:39.000There'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.
00:11:04.000What am I supposed to do in the next five years of my life if by chance the Lord allows me to have those?
00:11:09.000They 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.
00:11:16.000But 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?
00:11:28.000In 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.
00:11:37.000It talks about them having A temple and having sacrifices and then having the abomination that causes desolation set up.
00:11:43.000Well, if Israel isn't a country, if Israel doesn't have the land, there is no temple, right?
00:11:48.000There is no temple right now, but it's impossible unless they're there.
00:11:51.000Well, until 1948, that was impossible.
00:11:56.000It was impossible for us to all watch the two witnesses at the Wailing Wall.
00:12:00.000And 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.
00:12:13.000They 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.
00:12:22.000If 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.
00:12:29.000But none of that technologically was even possible.
00:12:32.000And 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?
00:12:41.000We're obviously both very familiar with how that works in our society.
00:12:46.000You 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?
00:12:56.000So when you start canceling people in our industry, you start pushing them off into the fringes.
00:13:01.000You 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.
00:13:13.000I 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.
00:13:21.000And it actually does a disservice to people.
00:13:23.000So I think the church has done a bad job with that.
00:13:25.000Let me just lay a little bit of groundwork here.
00:13:27.000It's important that you understand this.
00:13:31.000It is not important that you debate this to the death with other believers.
00:13:35.000People 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.
00:14:03.000The operating system of the new world order, the UN is Luciferianism.
00:14:07.000They've got a Lucius Lucifer trust that runs the prayer chapel in New York.
00:14:13.000At the UN, I've had these people try to recruit me.
00:14:16.000And some of it wasn't just in high school or then later when I was in Hollywood some.
00:14:21.000It'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.
00:14:35.000So, 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.
00:14:44.000It's like Ghostbusters or something, but for real.
00:14:46.000And I look over, and the old men are more intense than when I was in Holy Roller Churches.
00:14:52.000You know, because Holy Roller Churches, great people are like, oh, we love you, Lord.
00:14:57.000All 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.
00:15:14.000The 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.
00:15:22.000So people go, oh my gosh, this really is happening.
00:15:24.000And then people go, oh, but we're going to be raptured, so let's just go to sleep and stop looking at it.
00:15:30.000Half 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.
00:16:28.000I just know that God's real and the devil's real.
00:16:30.000It's about to get real messy, one way or the other, right?
00:16:33.000So look, a lot of people believe in what's called a rapture.
00:16:35.000And if you're wondering what that is, that's a topic that's alluded to in scripture.
00:16:38.000I believe it's 1 Thessalonians 4 that mentions being caught up to heaven, kind of in the twinkling of an eye.
00:16:43.000And there's a word that's used there, harpazo, right?
00:16:46.000And that's where they talk about this rapture, like this instantaneous, like catching up to be with God.
00:16:50.000And 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?
00:16:58.000A lot of people look at the Tribulation and are like, oh, it's a seven-year period.
00:17:01.000The 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.
00:17:24.000And 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.
00:17:36.000There's no way big tech would, like, completely censor genuine doctors asking questions about this stuff.
00:19:00.000Like, 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.
00:19:12.000It's like, okay, you've seen nothing but pure goodness.
00:19:33.000So 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.
00:19:40.000Yeah, well, there's that teaching that supposedly Titus sacked Rome, I mean, sacked Jerusalem, and that was the end of the world then.
00:19:46.000I mean, it doesn't have all the technology, the mark of the beast.
00:20:30.000He said, before this generation passes, not one stone will be there.
00:20:33.00038 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.
00:20:51.000Matthew's whole thing was writing to the Jews and it was talking about two different times.
00:20:55.000Jesus 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.
00:21:04.000And 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.
00:21:10.000That's just really some kind of... But really it's men looking at the same mountain range from different angles.
00:21:17.000You'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.
00:21:25.000And after these things, these things will happen.
00:21:27.000One says before and goes down this entire list.
00:21:29.000The other says after and goes down this other way.
00:21:32.000That's a different conversation, but we've kind of looped those things together and it's caused a lot of confusion.
00:21:36.000All 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.
00:21:50.000That women will become men, men will become women, your children will be set up over you.
00:22:16.000Is it at the midpoint, so before the bad time starts?
00:22:19.000Is it at the very end, because Christians don't get to be exempt from the kind of, I guess, persecution that they've experienced?
00:22:24.000Well, it says the beast will wage war against the saints and overcome them.
00:22:27.000So 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.
00:22:37.000To me it happens at the end of the Battle of Armageddon.
00:22:50.000Hey, if that's what you believe, that's fine.
00:22:52.000But then you're not going to be ready for what's already going down.
00:22:55.000Right, 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.
00:23:09.000I tend to come down on a pre-tribulation kind of viewpoint, right?
00:23:26.000He said, I will return to my place until they acknowledge their offense and then I will come to them.
00:23:32.000This is God-fulfilling prophecy from Daniel.
00:23:34.000It'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.
00:23:45.000That'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.
00:23:53.000But 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.
00:23:59.000I'm going to tell you that I'm going to do them.
00:24:14.000So the Bible isn't so much pattern developed and kind of laid down.
00:24:18.000The entire book of Joshua essentially is pattern for the end times.
00:24:22.000In 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.
00:24:56.000It's a pattern that God is laying down.
00:24:59.000Exactly, so it just lays down this pattern throughout scripture.
00:25:02.000So 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.
00:25:12.000A 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?
00:25:24.000So you can look at all of these and kind of study that.
00:25:26.000That's a really interesting thing to do.
00:25:28.000The 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.
00:25:53.000Trust 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.
00:25:57.000I 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.
00:26:06.000Things are about to get really bad and it's not going to be a fun time to be around.
00:26:09.000And he's going to be healing people and miracles and all the high tech.
00:26:14.000Politically, he's going to come to power first, and it's going to be just this sweeping thing.
00:26:17.000Can you imagine somebody from, like, Romania or, you know, pick some country over in kind of Eastern Europe.
00:26:23.000Can you imagine somebody coming to power right now and the entire world just bowing down to this person and saying, absolutely, yes, this person.
00:26:30.000What 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?
00:26:55.000There'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.
00:27:05.000And so Israel signs a treaty with all of its neighbors to have peace.
00:27:08.000It's a seven-year treaty, and that's where that seven-year tribunal is.
00:27:11.000It was kind of scary when Trump was getting that done.
00:27:13.000I know, right, when he moved the embassy.
00:27:16.000But that was fantastic, but there was no peace treaty with the neighbors.
00:27:20.000No, I mean, it was good what he was doing, but I'm just saying it was still kind of like, whoa, it's happening.
00:27:32.000It'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.
00:27:39.000So, 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.
00:27:51.000Either way, doesn't change what you do.
00:28:50.000Right, it says that right at the start.
00:28:51.000At the very start, and we read right over it and go, okay, well this is just a revelation to John.
00:28:55.000No, John is there as a witness to record.
00:28:57.000Now, he has a problem because he's seeing stuff that he has no idea how to describe.
00:29:01.000But, 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.
00:31:23.000We'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.
00:31:32.000So speaking of scripture, I just want to, we've mentioned the book of Daniel.
00:31:34.000I just want to read a real quick quote here and we'll throw it up on the screen in post.
00:31:38.000We don't have it right now, so we won't be able to see it, Alex, but I'll read it to you.
00:31:42.000So Daniel 9, 24, this is the 70 weeks of Daniel.
00:31:44.000So 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.
00:32:02.000We are not at the end of that 70 week period yet, or some of those things would have happened.
00:32:06.000Some 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.
00:32:13.000No, 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.
00:32:36.000And 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.
00:32:42.000And I believe they talk about that a little bit in Nehemiah, right?
00:32:45.000So Artaxerxes Longinus actually gives the decree for them to go and rebuild the city.
00:32:53.000And there's some really cool studies again.
00:32:54.000Chuck 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?
00:33:57.000He does that over and over and over again.
00:33:59.000When 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.
00:34:16.000And then there's one time where he demands it and commands it and that's on the triumphal entry.
00:34:21.000On 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.
00:34:44.000And 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.
00:34:54.000Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
00:35:11.000But 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?
00:35:25.000You 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.
00:35:35.000That's the heart that he wants, not somebody praying in public for public recognition.
00:35:40.000Well he prayed in private but he wasn't making a big show of things.
00:35:46.000If 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.
00:35:55.000What God had a problem with, what Jesus, God in human form, had a problem with was fake Fake belief, fake sincerity, fake piety.
00:36:05.000People who said one thing, did another thing, and then actually lorded it over kind of the lady, the people, right?
00:36:12.000And 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.
00:36:22.000That's why I call them whitewashed tombs.
00:36:23.000Well, 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.
00:36:56.000You can actually have that mean seven years, right?
00:36:58.000So it's just kind of a figure of speech.
00:37:00.000And 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.
00:37:08.000By the way, the book of Revelation says it three different ways.
00:37:11.000It 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.
00:37:17.000It does months, weeks, years, multiple times to make sure that you understand it's a three and a half year period.
00:37:22.000It's 360 day years though, which is very interesting to me.
00:37:24.000Somebody can do some research on that.
00:37:26.000I 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.
00:37:34.000But what do we say to the average person who doesn't believe in God but then really worships the system?
00:37:40.000What are they gonna do as this world government comes in that surveils you with AI,
00:37:46.000and you've gotta submit and follow everything it tells you, or it takes your right to have a job,
00:37:50.000or eat, or live, or travel, and basically kills you.
00:37:54.000I mean, that is, you've gotta worship the beast to get the mark of the beast,
00:37:58.000and so what do you think, what is, we know the devil is the Antichrist,
00:38:02.000but what is the beast system, Gerald, in your view, and then what is it we have to do to get this mark?
00:38:07.000Because like you said, you don't get it by accident, So how do you refuse it?
00:38:14.000Nobody will ever accidentally take the mark of the beast.
00:38:17.000And 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.
00:38:34.000Social credit score, but nonetheless, I mean, it's all kind of one thing.
00:38:37.000I think we've talked about the ESG stuff as well.
00:39:19.000You read Revelation and you're like, how do they do it?
00:39:22.000You worship it, you got to submit, and then you get the mark.
00:39:25.000It's not like you just agree to take it.
00:39:27.000You have to worship it and do whatever it says.
00:39:29.000They 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.
00:39:36.000So you become a robot and turn your free will over and become an extension of Antichrist.
00:39:41.000I 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.
00:40:00.000And so if I believe in a rapture that takes Christians out, which leaves a pretty terrible world in my opinion.
00:40:04.000But 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.
00:40:11.000That guy, you'll be with me in paradise.
00:40:13.000What 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.
00:40:26.000Yeah, so this is, really this is the final chance.
00:40:28.000I think it's just the final straw kind of thing.
00:41:13.000But it describes, OK, well, you know, think of the practical things that could happen.
00:41:16.000Somebody can set up a co-op and have believers around the world.
00:41:19.000There'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.
00:41:50.000So 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.
00:41:59.000Right, so bad it's going to kill everybody that everybody has to do this.
00:42:45.000Not 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.
00:42:58.000So 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.
00:43:05.000I mean, what does the Bible actually say about that versus what people made up?
00:43:09.000So 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.
00:44:33.000Absolutely, and he kind of based everything off of that.
00:44:36.000What's really interesting, maybe we can do another one on this.
00:44:38.000So 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.
00:44:45.000You've got all these kind of characters at play in Christianity, and we go, okay, those are the bad guys.
00:44:49.000The Messiah coming back, so Jesus coming back, that's the good guy.
00:44:52.000If you study Islamic eschatology, they have the same cast of characters, except the roles are reversed.
00:44:59.000All of the bad guys for them are the good guys, and our good guy actually becomes a prophet for them.
00:45:05.000Jesus is a prophet that actually comes and allows Muhammad to take center stage.
00:45:09.000It is absolutely mind-blowing when you dive into it.
00:45:27.000If they think to bring back their kind of world order that they want, their messiah essentially, they have to make the world so bad.
00:45:36.000I 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.
00:45:53.000Well, 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.
00:46:29.000What they didn't understand is that they missed that he would first be a suffering servant.
00:46:34.000That there are two times the Messiah comes.
00:46:37.000They were looking for the second time.
00:46:40.000He 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.
00:46:52.000And where he stopped was actually a point where it's, I think it's talking about setting captives free, I think.
00:46:57.000Don't quote me on this, I could be just getting this a slight bit off.
00:47:00.000And he stops kind of at a comma, so to speak.
00:47:02.000The comma didn't exist, we inserted that, but he stopped right there.
00:47:05.000And right after that, it's referring to the second time when it's talking about judgment and destruction.
00:47:11.000Because 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.
00:47:18.000We wouldn't have been born in the first place, but people would not even have had a chance.
00:47:21.000But he stopped right there and the Jews missed it because they saw present conditions suck.
00:47:26.000Rome occupies us, we don't even control it.
00:47:29.000And how are you gonna get a Messiah that fixes everything if everybody doesn't go under it?
00:48:25.000You 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.
00:48:35.000If you understand your Old Testament, that gets very clear very quickly.
00:48:39.000That 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.
00:48:50.000Well, Christ said he came to fulfill the Old Testament, not to override it.
00:48:53.000Exactly. He's like, I came to fulfill all of the law, not to get rid of it.
00:48:57.000Every single thing that has been said in Scripture will be fulfilled.
00:49:11.000And you won't fall victim to all of these theories.
00:49:12.000I think you have to know the Old Testament to know that.
00:49:15.000You do. But most people think about this.
00:49:16.000When you're a Christian, I mean, growing up in the 90s, I was a Christian.
00:49:21.000I was in church, and I read mostly the New Testament.
00:49:23.000I 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.
00:49:36.000There 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.
00:49:47.000And 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.
00:49:55.000It 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.
00:50:00.000And the pattern's key because it connects it all together energetically, spiritually.
00:50:03.000And you see the patterns being fulfilled, right?
00:50:06.000God using patterns to kind of set prophecy and those things being fulfilled.
00:50:10.000So it's very important to understand the Old Testament.
00:50:12.000So I'd highly encourage you to do that.
00:50:13.000If you want to study the book of Revelation, there's a lot of great people out there that you can look at.
00:50:17.000I highly recommend Chuck Missler just because I think he's the right kind of teacher.
00:50:22.000He'll talk to you about stuff that's interesting, but he'll say it's conjecture, not to hold onto that too tightly.
00:50:26.000But he'll also tell you verse by verse by verse and link you back to the Old Testament every single time.
00:50:32.000If there's one thing about what Chuck Misler did, he died in 2018, but he was just a phenomenal teacher.
00:50:37.000He 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.
00:50:51.000What 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.
00:51:06.000It'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.
00:53:10.000Because the world is a very terrible place.
00:53:12.000It'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.
00:53:19.000The things that we do to each other make God cry.
00:53:23.000And 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.
00:53:29.000Evil is finally dealt with and justice.
00:53:31.000And I think that's something really important to say here.
00:53:33.000And 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.
00:53:41.000They mean they're artificially collapsing things to consolidate power and depopulate.
00:53:47.000But 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.
00:53:58.000They're the ones saying it's the end of the world.
00:54:00.000They are literally fulfilling prophecy.
00:54:03.000I remember my grandfather would say, The devil can't help it.
00:54:08.000And that's the thing is, they think we're the ones saying it to the world.
00:54:11.000No, we're trying to keep the gas pipelines going.
00:54:13.000We're trying to keep the nitrogen going.
00:54:14.000We're trying to keep the farming going.
00:54:15.000We're trying to stop wars, stabilize the third world.
00:54:18.000We're not like, oh, we want the end of the world, let's drink Kool-Aid.
00:54:21.000It'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.
00:54:31.000I 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.
00:54:45.000Now 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.
00:54:53.000This 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.
00:55:08.000And we'll get into some specifics on that.
00:55:09.000But, 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
00:55:41.000And I have not supported Satanists, but I'll go ahead and tell the story.
00:55:43.000I'm not attacking the person that was my lawyer.
00:55:45.000I'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.
00:56:02.000And then later I learned they had represented, it's not Church of Satan, it's called something else.
00:56:05.000The point is, it's that big national group that like puts the Satan things in front of courthouses with like the bafflement and stuff.
00:56:13.000It'll pop in my head in a minute, look it up.
00:56:17.000People said, oh my God, your lawyer represents these people.
00:56:20.000Well, I mean, I agree with their First Amendment, but I don't agree with their ideas.
00:56:22.000That's just one lawyer I use, who I do not use.
00:56:27.000Once 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.
00:56:59.000You 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?
00:57:06.000It's going to pop my head in a minute.
00:57:08.000Temple of Satan or something like that.
00:57:40.000Well look, spiritual warfare is very real.
00:57:42.000It's referenced in scripture in a number of different places, but Ephesians is one of those places that a lot of people go to.
00:57:47.000So 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.
00:58:03.000So 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.
00:58:17.000He doesn't have possession of it forever because Christ comes back with the deed.
00:58:20.000There'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.
00:58:31.000But right now, this is Satan's domain.
00:58:36.000We're behind the curtain with all this stuff, and so we have to be very careful.
00:58:39.000But you have to understand that this is a very real thing.
00:58:43.000And 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.
00:58:50.000They're very Jewish-minded still, culturally, everything.
00:58:54.000And so when they're looking at this, they know all these things, because in the Old Testament, it's full of it.
00:58:59.000Now, 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.
00:59:08.000I 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.
00:59:13.000He could have said that this person had a mental issue.
00:59:16.000But let's just leave some room for that and know that not every one of them is like that.
00:59:19.000And I'll give you an example of why I know that.
00:59:23.000This 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.
00:59:32.000Most people think it's just demons flying around influencing people and that's a very scary thought to have.
00:59:51.000These guys find out about it, and they come with their army to kill Elisha.
00:59:56.000His 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.
01:00:09.000And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see.
01:00:14.000And 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.
01:00:38.000This young man who was serving him did not.
01:00:40.000And he was able to lift the veil on him, see it.
01:00:43.000He 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.
01:00:50.000This isn't just a bunch of bad people showing up.
01:00:52.000This isn't just a bunch of demons attacking us.
01:00:54.000We've got an army behind us that's bigger than theirs.
01:01:28.000Well, and it talks about this heavenly host and this cloud of witnesses in the New Testament.
01:01:32.000Like, 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.
01:01:41.000Now 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.
01:01:57.000But 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.
01:02:17.000Well, 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.
01:02:25.000A lot of times it's just people being mean to you, lying about you.
01:02:29.000I 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.
01:02:49.000And I was literally attacked everywhere.
01:02:51.000There's video, people dumping coffee on me, all this.
01:02:53.000But it was like I'd go around corners and it was like they would, they were talking like demons.
01:02:58.000Someone's on video, they would finish the sentences.
01:03:01.000And 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.
01:03:08.000And I was just like, and like my camera guy, who normally is fearless, he goes, I can't come out with you anymore.
01:04:06.000This is the angel talking to Daniel in verse 13.
01:04:09.000But 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.
01:04:18.000This 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.
01:04:27.000And this demonic stronghold withheld me for 21 days until I called Michael, the archangel who is known for battle and war.
01:04:35.000Gabriel is known for being the messenger.
01:04:38.000Michael had to come and take care of this power, which is not going to be a contest at all.
01:05:11.000So 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.
01:06:19.000And 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.
01:06:26.000Second worst place in the world for it next to Thailand.
01:06:29.000And so we discovered that at the end of our trip.
01:06:31.000And so I'm on the board of this missions organization, me and a couple of guys.
01:06:34.000And so I go back there to kind of help set up something to help fight human trafficking, right?
01:06:39.000Because 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.
01:06:44.000Well 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.
01:06:54.000And so I start seeing some kids playing with a ball down the alley and I went down there and started playing volleyball with them.
01:07:00.000Just 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.
01:07:15.000And 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.
01:07:22.000And I looked at their face and immediately I felt it.
01:07:25.000I was like, there is something demonic here, and immediately we left.
01:07:29.000Like, we got on our horse and got out of there.
01:07:31.000And that was just like, that moment where you feel it, like you said, like you could just feel it.
01:07:36.000We 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.
01:08:07.000And so, when we talk about spiritual warfare, we talk about, you know, things that maybe are influences, or these principalities, or these powers.
01:08:14.000And I mentioned earlier when we started that this is Satan's domain.
01:08:17.000Well, 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.
01:08:24.000It says, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, so that's Satan.
01:08:27.000And the dragon and his angels fought back.
01:08:29.000Most people don't realize, like, the angels, they weren't, you know, like these machines.
01:08:33.000They basically had some kind of agency, some kind of free will to be able to make a choice
01:08:37.000because they fight against God, which is silly, but a third of the angels are actually thrown
01:08:41.000out, and I'll tell you that in a minute.
01:08:42.000But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
01:08:45.000The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil, and Satan, who leads the whole world astray.
01:08:50.000He was hurled to earth and his angels with him.
01:08:53.000And in Revelation it talks about woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because his time is short.
01:08:59.000He knows his time is short and you guys are going to have to deal with the fallout.
01:09:27.000I 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.
01:10:15.000You start to see that, but as conservatives we see it because it's a very obvious thing.
01:10:22.000We'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.
01:10:29.000So that's a very easy thing for me to see.
01:10:31.000But if you're somebody maybe who is a Democrat, you may look at it and be like, oh, well, you just disagree with him.
01:10:57.000Have 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.
01:11:05.000Like, it's all of these different things that the demon is trying to do to influence.
01:11:10.000And so when we talk about it- What's crazy is it's real.
01:12:27.000No, God gave us free will and gave us a choice because God loves us.
01:12:30.000And then God even gave us a cheat sheet.
01:12:32.000So 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.
01:12:40.000And your problems will literally not go away, but you'll see God in your life and you'll see it push back.
01:12:48.000And 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.
01:12:55.000People say, well, then you shouldn't do that.
01:13:01.000They, I mean, like nothing is even 10% close to it.
01:13:04.000Like 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.
01:13:13.000And they didn't know why, they didn't believe in God, but they were doing things double in length.
01:13:18.000And they went to mystics, they went to Jewish leaders, and said, oh, you know, what do I wear this Kabbalah bracelet, say these prayers?
01:13:56.000There's no name under heaven given to man that can absolutely carry the power of Jesus' name.
01:14:01.000But 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.
01:14:10.000I don't say that to scare you, I say that to caution you.
01:15:32.000I didn't really care a whole lot about a bunch of different topics that were going on, so I didn't pay much attention.
01:15:37.000But 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.
01:15:47.000And 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?
01:16:58.000What'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.
01:17:23.000People say, Oh, Jones, Alex Jones is pretty.
01:17:54.000So 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.
01:19:14.000If we won't protect our children, God is going to turn his back on us.
01:19:18.000Well, 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.
01:19:27.000You read my mind because that society, what they would do is they had a god called Molech and he had hands on him.
01:19:34.000They 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.
01:20:22.000We'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.
01:20:32.000Which is a form of human sacrifice to take their fertility.
01:21:58.000You've seen the videos going, I've been a killer and I love the devil!
01:22:01.000And 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!
01:22:09.000And there's hundreds of videos, thousands of videos.
01:22:11.000You go to the Texas Statehouse when they're trying to pass these laws and there's women Suits Queen.
01:22:53.000It's an incredible number, but again, we look back and Alex, what I said about Molech, most people probably recoiled a little bit.
01:23:02.000I mean, people may have actually gasped.
01:23:04.000Somebody may have cried from hearing that.
01:23:07.000What about 60 million kids killed in the womb?
01:23:11.000What 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.
01:23:24.000They're delivering babies to these facilities.
01:23:30.000I mean, unfortunately it does, but look, that's the debauchery that we're living under.
01:23:35.000I 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.
01:23:42.000We still got some really big problems in our house, and this is not just people being misled.
01:23:47.000I 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
01:24:47.000He's really, that's why they're so scared.
01:24:49.000But 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.
01:24:57.000And I really realized, God's like, no, you're actually powerless, it's all me.
01:25:01.000And 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.
01:25:23.000I just want the states to do the right thing.
01:25:24.000That'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?
01:25:55.000And 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.
01:26:09.000What you're saying, Gerald, is so on target.
01:26:12.000Folks, 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.
01:26:18.000But the mission is to reach the new people.
01:26:21.000The 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.
01:26:29.000Reach out to God and say, are you real?
01:27:36.000And you may be able to reach certain people.
01:27:38.000I'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.
01:28:15.000We've forgotten it and we've, honestly what we've done is we've made it into a holiday.
01:28:20.000We've made spiritual warfare into a holiday.
01:28:22.000We're like, Halloween, we get to celebrate ghosts and all this stuff.
01:28:24.000Well, 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.
01:29:12.000So 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.
01:29:20.000I 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.
01:29:27.000Maybe I'm better than my friend across the street, but I'm still not good because ultimately I believe that you alone are good.
01:29:35.000So can you just help me understand this?
01:29:36.000Can you help me understand what it means to pray?
01:29:39.000What it means to understand that Christ died for my sins?
01:29:41.000What 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.
01:29:52.000And 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.
01:30:01.000You did all of that just so that I would have this opportunity today.
01:30:05.000And 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.
01:30:11.000You can do it at tipsatladderwithprider.com.
01:30:20.000You'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.
01:30:28.000And we're not always winning and we need to.
