00:00:00.000 this is turned into a 2009 ron paul space i guess yes yes we're appreciating the capitalist pig
00:00:16.500 we're not racist richard we're against socialism obama's a socialist that's the problem the only
00:00:22.360 color that matters is green oh true right just here because i'm mad at obama but not because
00:00:28.940 he's raised there was actually a funny onion article i remember back when the onion was
00:00:34.900 genuinely hilarious and it was about someone assassinating barack obama but he didn't want
00:00:40.620 to be called racist and so he was like i was thinking about shooting him but then that would
00:00:46.980 evoke dark memories of martin luther king and and then like we thought about hanging but then that
00:00:52.120 was totally out he ended up attempting to assassinate barack obama with a crossbow because there was no
00:00:58.920 like historical baggage associated and he's like it's due to socialism that actually um gives off
00:01:06.460 anti-muslim baggage when you think about it true and you know the pope's weird edicts yeah let me see if
00:01:14.980 is donnie darkened on here we actually have a return of an old favorite donnie darkened
00:01:21.020 hey can you hear me yes oh that's you great yes i'm here how you doing there you are okay i'm back
00:01:27.840 yes he's back uh he's made yeah this is the forthcoming i think of of donnie darkened or so
00:01:35.160 so yeah we're very happy for you to be here yeah so these discussions are are quite fun let's start
00:01:42.900 off really basic and i i guess first off why don't you introduce yourself because we have a lot of new
00:01:49.840 people and uh they might not have heard our previous interviews so um why don't you just let us know who
00:01:57.580 you are and what you're about yeah so i'm donnie formerly donnie darkened and now i go by donnie
00:02:03.360 discern but either way is fine and i have an x account that's where i talk about a lot of end times
00:02:10.120 prophecy eschatology theology things like that my main focus lately has been about what i deem as the
00:02:17.800 false light deception who sounds scary and um and uh it's how it ties into kind of everything that
00:02:25.180 we see happening today and uh my account was originally all about how i believe that trump
00:02:31.620 is like the the biblical antichrist right and uh which is which is a whole nother fascinating topic
00:02:36.860 especially in light of recent events which i'm sure we can probably get into as well but uh yeah
00:02:41.600 just a lot of a lot of kooky christian stuff you know yeah that's how i first discovered you i think
00:02:47.740 i heard an interview of you by adam green in 2023 maybe yeah i i really did want to talk with you
00:02:56.860 because a yes there is some kooky christian stuff at the same time you know these just i don't know
00:03:05.960 funny things of middle names and birth dates and the amount of salems in united states where a lunar eclipse
00:03:13.900 passed through i mean it there at some point it actually does become like well that is a number
00:03:20.220 of coincidences and then secondly what i appreciate is that you are friendly and respectful like we we
00:03:28.300 can push back we can say we don't buy that and you can lay out your case and it is what it is so it's the
00:03:35.160 the best of real discussion and debate where we can actually get somewhere so i i have enjoyed our uh
00:03:41.740 our our talks and i um you know i keep tabs on you uh over the years and it's all been very
00:03:47.840 interesting and i mean i think one could make the case that you've really been prescient you you had
00:03:55.960 the foresight to see all of these things coming because remember back in 2023 to say that trump was going to
00:04:04.880 make a comeback that was a bit of an oddball opinion i mean things were looking quite bad the indictments
00:04:13.500 were stacking up he had the whole j6 stop the steal 2020 that had failed and and it was fading and he was
00:04:24.100 giving low energy speeches and people were looking to other candidates and you never lost faith so to
00:04:30.700 speak in the sense that you thought that he was coming back you thought that it wasn't just an
00:04:35.960 aberration that he represented something much bigger than just just a president in your case
00:04:41.740 the actual antichrist um and uh but um but but that he was going to make this comeback and return and then
00:04:50.260 we look back at it now and it seems inevitable it seems like oh yeah we always knew that was going
00:04:54.460 to happen but the fact is we didn't know that it was going to happen and there were a few people who
00:04:59.540 were making that call and were right and the other thing i would say is that you could also assume
00:05:08.840 that trump's presidency was going to be uneventful that wow we're going to get rid of boys and girls
00:05:17.020 sports and that roe v wade thing will be settled and you know he'll lower taxes and blah blah blah but
00:05:23.860 you know no new wars he's going to keep us out of world war three and you know it's just going to be
00:05:28.920 this golden age of prosperity so on and he was to some degree at least promising just that but i do
00:05:36.740 think that it's very clear that we have entered interesting times or apocalyptic times do you want
00:05:43.760 to say that i mean we have another invasion uh going on as we speak in the middle east the question of
00:05:52.480 israel is hotter than it's ever been i think it's also important to point out that the rise of
00:06:01.400 anti-zionism or just outright anti-semitism to be frank is bigger than i ever would have imagined it to
00:06:11.740 be if you just can take yourself back 10 years or 20 years the idea that being anti-zionist or being
00:06:19.640 even anti-semitic or coming up with kooky theories about frankist or that that would be that would
00:06:26.240 make you popular as opposed to just marginalize you wow i mean we we clearly have come quite a ways
00:06:34.180 something has changed there's been an awakening now whether that's a way that awakening is good or bad
00:06:41.340 we might agree that it's actually bad but something has clearly happened phenomenologically
00:06:46.960 and so let me i i just wanted to say that to sort of set things up and the other thing i'll add one
00:06:53.960 more thing before i pass the baton to you is that we've seen this meteoric rise of a man named
00:07:03.380 professor jiang who is a high school teacher in china who studied at yale and he's doing all these
00:07:10.540 predictive history things and i actually interviewed him back in september i reposted that today but
00:07:16.840 there's something in the air without him about him now you can have criticisms galore about professor
00:07:23.520 jiang and i i have them too but he is interesting and there does seem to be this yearning this appetite
00:07:30.500 for some sort of eschatology eschatology of current affairs in the sense of it's not just about
00:07:41.960 diplomacy or military action etc there's something bigger going on it's it's in a script now whether
00:07:48.400 professor jiang thinks that they're cynical operatives who are enacting the script or whether
00:07:54.280 the script is real the script actually is describing how events are going to unfold or
00:07:59.240 or something in between we'll see but at the very least there there's something going on there's an
00:08:05.680 appetite for this and it's sort of in the air right now in a way that it wasn't but what are your just
00:08:13.340 opening thoughts on the fact that we've invaded iran i mean persia is has been invaded again by our
00:08:22.420 cyrus like messianic cyrus has taken persia yeah it's so much interesting stuff going on i'll
00:08:29.220 want to note yeah i i've been uh talking about the donald trump antichrist stuff since 2021 at a time
00:08:34.720 where it was like very kooky to like even suggest that trump would make this huge political comeback
00:08:40.100 and not even just make a political comeback but that he would also start talking about this golden age
00:08:46.180 and peace and prosperity and that there you know he would go on conquering you know all of these
00:08:52.120 different nations and you know making war and uh it's definitely we've definitely come a long way
00:08:59.380 since then and uh things have definitely been uh more than interesting in how they've played out
00:09:04.280 someone made a i'll drop the comment in here that uh i kind of actually want to agree with uh and he
00:09:10.140 said uh and i think you've said something to this effect that 666 is arian yeah and uh yeah that that
00:09:17.080 i saw your clip and i was like wow like this is right in line with what i've been talking about
00:09:22.940 and like and like i i thought it was so cool that you said that because a lot of the people you see
00:09:28.320 on twitter they hear about 666 and they they automatically think oh that's a jewish you know
00:09:33.700 the jews love 666 so they worship the baphomet and you know a lot of a lot of kooky stuff that you see
00:09:39.640 on on twitter or just like the devil that's the other one that it you know people think that but yeah
00:09:45.580 it's not it's not satan the accuser it's not the it's not the number of the serpent it's apollo
00:09:51.320 it's it's it's yeah it's lucifer it's yeah it's the king of the white gods right yeah lucifer is even
00:09:58.420 you know venus on some you know the first yeah things like so there's even a interesting connection
00:10:03.140 there yeah it's beauty it's it's power it's strength it's yeah it's it's it's art it's you know
00:10:10.600 so the other reading is that 666 in hebrew uh not even numeral well numerology i guess in a very
00:10:18.540 basic sense of the word it's not like the bible code or something but numbers of the letters spells
00:10:23.760 out nero uh yeah so that comes from like a uh it's 616 so they found i think it was like some
00:10:31.340 ancient papyrus or something that uh around that time that said 616 associated with uh nero caesar
00:10:38.380 and i know that a lot of preterists will actually take that and use it to confirm
00:10:42.780 their view that uh preterism or at least partial preterism is you know is the way to go eschatology
00:10:50.940 wise and if you don't know what preterism is it essentially is the belief that revelation uh partial
00:10:56.640 preterism is that revelation chapters 4 through 20 have been fulfilled the antichrist has come the
00:11:02.280 end times have occurred and essentially we're just waiting for the second coming as opposed to full
00:11:07.160 preterism which is that the second coming already happened we're post-millennial kingdom again a lot
00:11:11.880 of different nuances there but yeah let me jump in real quick and i so with preterim or post-millennialism
00:11:19.280 the the idea would be that you know a figure like near an antichrist like figure has all already
00:11:27.760 appeared now i would say that a lot of these interpretations as an aside here a lot of these
00:11:32.460 interpretations aren't mutually exclusive in the sense that 666 could directly reference nero at the
00:11:40.620 same time as referencing the number of man or the number of the sixth day of creation basically
00:11:46.040 when things it's both it's not one or the other so it's you know it's evoking both things
00:11:50.580 exactly exactly but let me go a little bit further so the idea there is that the antichrist came there
00:11:58.980 was this fall of rome and so on and in some ways with the church we are living in jesus's
00:12:08.460 reign yeah or his kingdom yes his kingdom is rain yep absolutely yeah that's that's the idea and that's
00:12:15.180 so that's one major school of thought on uh on the book of revelation okay it's a very it's a very
00:12:21.600 it's a very metaphorical take so in order to reach that conclusion you have to spiritualize a lot of the
00:12:28.320 the prophecies which i will say to the the to the credit of the preterists there there definitely
00:12:34.060 have been many anti antichrists there i like to reference this ecclesiastes 9 where it says there's
00:12:39.700 nothing new under the sun everything that's that's happened will happen again and you know i mean if you
00:12:44.720 take a look at history you know history operates in a very cyclical way where you know we we do see
00:12:50.160 these kinds of uh these repeating patterns of kind of the same thing or or very similar things
00:12:56.020 and i i think that that's no different for the end times you know so i don't think the preterist is
00:13:02.540 necessarily wrong for equating nero to the antichrist uh which is interesting actually
00:13:09.120 because when they do that they also kind of affirm my view too because the antichrist from a truly
00:13:14.940 biblical perspective represents the arrogant gentile right the arrogant gentile rising up
00:13:21.960 to answer the the jq once and for all and with in that respect you can consider adolf hitler sort of a
00:13:29.880 a a prototype of the antichrist a dress rehearsal of what the antichrist is intended to be biblically
00:13:37.900 right so when people when i see a lot of these people on x twitter whatever say things like oh the
00:13:43.980 jewish messiah is the antichrist or the antichrist is a jewish thing i think they're really really missing
00:13:49.900 the mark because if you look at even the biblical text it says in revelation 13 that the beast rises
00:13:55.320 from the sea a lot of people don't know that the sea in that is actually a reference to isaiah 17
00:14:01.660 talking about the nations it's talking about the gentile nations right the beast rises from the
00:14:07.800 gentiles right and the 42 months in revelation 11 right that the it says the gentiles will trample
00:14:15.120 the holy city for 42 months and that's talking about gentile led crusade on the holy city which
00:14:22.540 again we've seen in history before and i believe we're going to see again in a much bigger way
00:14:28.580 very soon wow okay let's you opened up a lot of different doors there yeah so let me ask you i i i
00:14:37.920 definitely want to get to each of these entrance ways at some point during our discussion but does
00:14:44.340 iran play a role in the book of revelation i think so i i think it says that the antichrist he he he uh
00:14:53.480 he makes war he makes war and he conquers he says he goes forth conquering and to conquer and it also
00:14:59.340 says something
00:14:59.900 you
