welcome to tucker carlson show it's become pretty clear that the mainstream media are dying
00:00:11.600
they can't die quickly enough and there's a reason they're dying because they lie they lied so much
00:00:17.340
it killed them we're not doing that tucker carlson.com we promise to bring you the most
00:00:21.480
honest content the most honest interviews we can without fear or favor here's the latest
00:00:27.560
um so when you you texted me when was that what did you text me about texted you probably i sent
00:00:34.320
you the audio of it probably four months ago so i'm not a you know a musician or a musical performer
00:00:40.360
or anything like that so i don't you know i have no idea what's you know what the market wants or
00:00:45.460
anything like that but um when you said you were you've written a song about revelation i was like
00:00:52.200
well um it's a legitimate book of the bible but it's the one that preachers don't teach
00:00:57.300
that no one really wants to read and i'm thinking i don't that's so great i couldn't wait to talk to
00:01:02.320
you about it but yeah i didn't think that anyone it's an uncomfortable book so tell the story like
00:01:08.980
how i've never heard of anybody doing something like that right first of all what is revelation
00:01:15.280
revelation uh was written by the apostle john at the end of his life um when he was basically a
00:01:23.140
castaway at that point and he started receiving visions and prophecies and he wrote down what he
00:01:28.740
saw and a lot of what he saw you got to remember he only had his life experiences to try to describe
00:01:35.380
what it was that he was seeing in these prophecies he was on an island as i recall yeah out of patmos
00:01:40.400
yeah and uh so he was writing this out as it was coming can you imagine what he must have felt like
00:01:46.520
what is that what is that like he's seeing all these things that are going to happen thousands of
00:01:50.820
years in the future and he's trying to describe it to us uh in the terms that he was familiar with
00:01:56.640
so i mean the book is absolutely incredible and it's not just revelation revelation ties back into
00:02:02.980
daniel which was around thousands years before john yes it also ties into matthew 24 and second
00:02:08.940
thessalonians 2 and first corinthians and a lot of other places people think that the whole
00:02:13.760
end times discussion only resides in the book of revelation but that's not true so the book of
00:02:20.080
revelation tells the story of the end of history that's my read tells the story about about the
00:02:24.980
return of jesus christ yes it says it's telling you what is going to happen prior to him coming back
00:02:31.720
and what's going to happen after he comes back lays it out so how did you decide to write a song
00:02:41.000
about a book of the bible that most christian preachers don't want to talk about i did not decide
00:02:46.400
to write this song because first of all how do you sing what's in revelation i mean think about it
00:02:53.180
you know uh last november i'm at my house in nashville was not thinking about writing a song
00:03:00.260
about anything and out of nowhere it felt like a hammer hit me in the back of the head boom like that
00:03:08.940
like what is this what is going on what's this feeling and this melody and these lyrics oh revelation
00:03:15.160
i can feel it coming like a dark train running oh get ready because the king is coming the king is
00:03:20.860
coming back again just but i'm talking like that and i went where were you okay i was at home in
00:03:26.640
nashville just sitting in your living room just being just chilling out and i said okay i hear you
00:03:33.680
i grabbed a guitar off the wall a pencil a notebook went sat in a quiet room in the house and in about
00:03:38.960
60 minutes the entire song had come out i sang it into my little voice notes on my iphone put my
00:03:46.000
earbuds in and walked around the house just pacing around the house listening to it over and over and
00:03:50.520
the hair is raising up on my arm is this how part of my ignorance but is this how songwriters write
00:03:55.320
songs does this has this happened to you before is this nothing's ever the only other song i ever
00:03:59.640
wrote that felt like this was one called earth to god that i wrote a few years ago that was the
00:04:03.500
same experience with that but this one was more intense than that um you know when he hits you
00:04:09.340
you know it it is it is you cannot mistake uh when the lord slaps you upside the head with something
00:04:17.540
you have a physical reaction to it i do i have a physical reaction to it it does not happen very
00:04:23.640
often it's a very rare occurrence but when it happens listen what i'm built to do is take a pencil
00:04:29.840
and put the words on the paper put music to that and then project that out that i've spent my whole
00:04:34.620
career getting to a point where i'm pretty good at that except this message this message is beyond
00:04:41.220
and it's incredible that it hit me when it did in this period of time you felt like you were channeling
00:04:46.020
this i felt like he slammed it right through me and as i'm walking around listening to it and the
00:04:52.320
hairs raising up on my arms i remember looking out the window and i looked up and i went what do you
00:04:56.200
want me to do with this i mean what is what do you want me to do and the message i felt coming back to
00:05:02.460
me was take it all the way to the mat that's the phrase that hit me meaning make the audio as great
00:05:09.800
as you can with your skill set make the video as compelling as you possibly can and when you get
00:05:15.740
those things done tell as many people as you can slam it out there with no fear as hard as you
00:05:21.140
possibly can and let let this thing be heard that is your job go do it so you're describing a creative
00:05:27.540
process in which you're kind of like not driving the train at all at all no no because i didn't come
00:05:34.340
up with the song i did not lay out some marketing strategy for the song i was given instructions as
00:05:40.200
to what to do with it and listen uh it's it's an unnerving thing to write a song like that to sing
00:05:46.920
it and then put it out there in front of god and everybody especially in the way the world thinks
00:05:51.920
and operates today that's that's not what uh that's not what a popular artist would do i mean well what's
00:05:59.120
again i don't know anything about this world um but when you told me that i didn't even think about
00:06:04.560
you know would anyone download that song and then as of this morning it's one of the top downloads in
00:06:11.480
the country it's in all genres it's it's in the top five ish right now of all genres of downloaded
00:06:18.100
songs it's battling people like eminem who i looked up his record just to see what eminem's doing
00:06:24.360
one of the titles on his record is just called evil one is called lucifer and one is called
00:06:30.120
antichrist how crazy is that and so i see eminem and revelation of course he's got the entire machine
00:06:37.360
behind him i don't have anybody i don't have any you know any physical machine behind me and so to
00:06:42.500
watch those two songs sitting there uh coexisting was a pretty when you say machine to people who
00:06:47.960
weren't in the music business like maybe they don't know what you're talking about what are you talking
00:06:51.100
about massive record labels massive radio play massive budgets to to push and promote and manipulate
00:06:57.320
media and get get his get his song out there what is your record label doing for you my record label
00:07:04.300
yeah my record label is a p.o box called rich records llc so you don't have the president founder
00:07:11.020
and uh employee so you don't you don't have anybody pushing this song nope just the people that hear it
00:07:19.800
and if the song strikes them they they push it forward to whoever's following them so before we get into
00:07:26.400
what the song is actually about um will you just describe like how do you how do you roll something
00:07:33.300
like this out if you don't have publicists record label if you don't have the machine how do you do
00:07:39.500
that i do have a publicist so jules has been with me a long time so when it's time to roll she'll call
00:07:44.460
people and go hey john's got the song revelation would you interview him about it so we do do that
00:07:49.940
we go out and talk to people and you know come talk to you but beyond that uh nothing you just post
00:07:55.320
it i posted it on my x account at john rich and i went up there and i said this is the most important
00:08:02.620
song i've ever written it's called revelation i hope it brings courage to the saved conviction to
00:08:09.620
the lost and absolute fear to the truly wicked that was the post and within about 48 hours it's
00:08:18.780
now battling some of the biggest artists in the world that's all i said that's just absolutely
00:08:23.900
incredible and that's it there's nothing else that's it then the song and that video does its
00:08:29.860
thing you know it's it's got the boss's hand on it he he gave it to me he told me to write it so i
00:08:36.540
did and he told me to go put it out there so i did it's on him now what do you what do you think
00:08:41.880
the message so you basically have said that you didn't write the song the song came through you
00:08:45.740
that's correct and i know that may sound like some kind of weird thing for people to hear
00:08:50.240
but that is exactly what happened i'm not capable of writing lyrics like that and and first of all
00:08:56.960
they're not really lyrics it's they come right off the pages of the book man i mean it i just made it
00:09:01.980
rhyme i just made what john talked about in revelation i just made the crafted them so where
00:09:07.560
they would rhyme and become a song but you know the the the entrance of the song says
00:09:13.240
dancing in the flames the people cursed his name talking about jesus and bowed at the altar
00:09:22.520
of the father of lies but there's a number to their days and all their evil ways the lord's going to
00:09:29.220
turn away from all their cries meaning at the end and what that's talking about is when you watch the
00:09:35.640
super bowl halftime show or you watch the grammy awards or you watch some of these big concerts and
00:09:41.300
music videos where they are putting satanic symbolism right in your face they are they are
00:09:47.780
practicing witchcraft on the stage right in front of you you're watching a football game or an award
00:09:52.840
show and with your kids and now whammo straight evil coming straight at you we've all seen this now
00:09:59.220
somebody has to counter that you know these guys have all these massive budgets the entertainment value
00:10:06.780
that the ability to produce those things at such a high level it's impossible to look away from it
00:10:12.180
you know it's like boom pow huge special effects all this stuff and everybody's just mesmerized
00:10:17.600
and it's going right into them so on revelation we can just ask you to pause yeah go ahead i actually
00:10:23.660
haven't seen any of that because i don't have to be but um i've read that this happens yeah
00:10:29.400
why why are they putting why are they pushing satan worship on television because they're doing
00:10:42.140
wow um and there's kind there's kind of no denying i mean there's they're not getting richer by pushing
00:10:52.040
satanic symbols sure they are yeah yeah because the industry uh you know the way that the way those
00:10:57.660
movie industries music industries all of that now not everybody in those industries obviously is
00:11:02.700
you know some kind of a satan worshiper or something but there's a lot of that in there
00:11:06.880
there's a lot of that in there and they have spent decades programming us from a young age to think
00:11:14.380
those things are fine and normal and they get rewarded for that you know that people that people that
00:11:20.680
really serve the father of lies they get rewarded by him when they when they proclaim his word
00:11:25.980
and do what he tells them to do and so revelation is the other side of that that's why i went to such
00:11:32.820
extremes with this video because i wanted it to compete visually with what people are used to seeing
00:11:38.640
i didn't want it to be like some one-dimensional looking thing i wanted it to be up to the level to
00:11:43.700
what people are used to seeing if we're going to combat we're going to present both sides play at a
00:11:48.240
high level bring it at a high level and that's why we went so far with it it's just it's so
00:11:54.340
interesting to see the way you're framing this so it's it you're framing it very differently it's
00:11:59.140
not just that the the media and entertainment businesses are liberal or in the pocket of the
00:12:05.180
democratic party you're saying that they're pushing a theology on the country a hundred percent no doubt
00:12:12.680
about it you know the devil uh he's scared to death of jesus christ i mean it says in the scripture
00:12:22.620
resist the devil and he will flee from you flee like wet his pants and run out the door if you
00:12:30.080
deny him if you go nope of course with jesus in you you go uh-uh get out of here and he will he'll
00:12:38.400
take off running and so you're not supposed to have fear of him the only one you're supposed to
00:12:42.760
fear if you're a christian is not the ones who can kill your body it says don't fear the ones who can
00:12:48.780
kill your body fear the one who can kill your body and kill your soul meaning the creator the boss
00:12:56.080
jesus christ the trinity and so i look at this situation as man if he's going to hit me with this
00:13:02.020
song and trust me it makes me nervous i'm a i'm a little nervous right now just sitting here
00:13:06.720
talking about it but if he's going to task me with that someday when i go see him i'm gonna i'm gonna
00:13:12.900
have to answer for a lot of things i didn't do right but i hope this is one where he goes but you
00:13:17.720
did a good job on that one because i gave you the song i told you what to do with it and you did it
00:13:22.160
you put it out there it so when you say these things you're not saying them as someone who's
00:13:28.020
guessing i mean you've been in the entertainment business your whole life over 30 years since you
00:13:31.940
were a kid i think 19 19 so i mean you know how it works again this is not something that you read
00:13:39.100
it's something you've seen when did it become clear to you that this was a theology that these people
00:13:46.020
were working knowingly or not on behalf of evil actual evil like when did that dawn on you well it
00:13:54.120
became they got so arrogant with it it seems like in maybe the last less than 10 years it i don't
00:13:59.680
know what happened on their side but i guess they got the green light to go all the way in and that's
00:14:05.240
when you started seeing for instance grammy award performances where people are literally coming out
00:14:11.000
wearing satanic symbols they are carrying out i guess they were mock seances but i mean it looked
00:14:20.180
pretty real to me and all of this stuff started happening even some of your biggest artists in the
00:14:24.860
world during their live concerts in full of giant stadiums full of people are doing these things out
00:14:30.920
on the stage in between their hit songs they'll come out as just part of the production of the show
00:14:34.980
it's art it's just art i mean go look at there's a rapper named lil nas out there and trust me everybody
00:14:42.040
watching you won't know but everybody watching this most people will know what i'm talking about
00:14:46.120
when you see him uh giving a lap dance to the devil in his video straight up and they are not ashamed
00:14:53.720
about it you look at eminem's new record where the titles are lucifer antichrist evil this is out
00:14:58.560
right now so i don't know what happened on their side to go pedal to the metal with it but they
00:15:03.680
absolutely did so on the other side of that what are we supposed to do in response to that just yell
00:15:08.860
at it scream at it be disgusted by it you can do all those things well the first thing you should take
00:15:13.800
action is naming you're naming it you're which i think is so interesting you're calling it what it is
00:15:19.220
you're not falling for the lie which is this is just art right it's more than that i mean maybe
00:15:24.660
it's art we can debate that but it's certainly more than that this is a theology you're pushing
00:15:28.380
a religion on me yeah and it's a religion of darkness and lies right and they're you know
00:15:32.880
they're pushing the same uh their same theology because it is that on our kids they're pushing
00:15:38.800
it in schools they're pushing it in pop culture they're pushing it everywhere you turn around you
00:15:42.860
can't get away from it i mean we're inundated with it right now we are swimming
00:15:46.520
and what these people have put out there it's again it's just really important to know what
00:15:53.720
you're dealing with and to say it out loud yes i think if you had said that to me five years ago
00:15:59.700
i would have thought well you know really like john rich a little far out um nothing i'm saying right
00:16:06.700
now okay anybody that's had a tv set on in the past year knows what i'm talking about it's just beyond
00:16:13.400
um thank you for saying that so tell us about revelation you said revelation is the story of
00:16:20.240
jesus coming back right um what's in it exactly because i think even a lot of christians haven't
00:16:27.040
read it carefully don't understand it don't want to confront it what what is it so in in in this song
00:16:35.180
and in this video what what it is talking about is what the real war is lord's gonna turn away from
00:16:41.700
the real war is not trump and biden the real war is not left and right the real war is not culture war
00:17:09.420
it says in ephesians we wrestle not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers and
00:17:16.880
the rulers of spiritual darkness of this earth of this world that is the battle that's the real battle
00:17:22.920
and and they say you know in the bible it says you can't see that because there's a thin veil between
00:17:27.740
the physical and the spiritual what's going on just on the other side of the veil but when you read
00:17:33.460
daniel and you read revelation it says at some point that veil will be torn which my song talks
00:17:39.240
about that and when that veil is torn you'll be able to see what's going on on the other side of
00:17:44.840
that and so in the video you see the devil come blasting through a fiery portal out in the woods
00:17:50.920
of tennessee on one side of a little country church on a black horse and he starts running
00:17:55.180
and he looks nasty it's nick searcy by the way the actor my good friend he plays the devil he's one
00:18:01.660
of the nicest guys you ever met so it's funny that he's the devil but he plays a good one and on the
00:18:05.840
other side of that church out in the woods in tennessee this massive beam of energy comes crashing
00:18:11.760
down to the ground and the trees go like this and out of that blast comes michael the archangel and
00:18:17.800
he pulls a broad sword out of his sheath and he start and he grits his teeth and this guy's got
00:18:22.880
muscles that's hollywood yates my buddy from california he comes walking straight towards
00:18:27.800
the devil and they're coming like this and i'm standing in the middle i'm humanity and here's
00:18:33.060
evil and here's righteousness and they are about to clash and the point of that is to put into people's
00:18:39.740
mind a representation of what is spiritual warfare i wonder what it actually looks like and i did the
00:18:45.500
best job i could trying to depict that but when you see those scenes i think that's one reason why this
00:18:50.860
song is doing what it's doing because to my knowledge nobody's ever even approached this
00:18:56.360
subject in the world of music or video amazing so why is it um why is revelation so hard for people
00:19:05.620
to to grasp to read to understand so for thousands of years um the prophecies and revelation and daniel
00:19:15.620
other places seemed like such science fiction to people they just couldn't understand how these
00:19:20.620
things were even possible including my own dad who's been preaching since he was about 19 he's in
00:19:25.300
his early 70s now and he said yeah john you know just never could understand how some of these things
00:19:32.060
were possible for instance the mark of the beast how is it possible we would all say that you could
00:19:39.260
track every human being in the world and know where they are and how they get their money and where
00:19:43.620
they spend their money i mean that's just impossible and here we sit going oh no they're tracking us
00:19:49.000
right now they know exactly where we spend our money and where we get our money because it says
00:19:53.480
you won't be able to buy or sell unless you have the mark of the beast you could you could replace
00:19:58.520
the word beast with system revelation says that oh yeah without the mark won't be able to buy or sell
00:20:04.080
unless you bear the mark of the beast and when you when you go back and look that up in the hebrew
00:20:10.340
it's talking about the global power that's in place at that point the system that is in place
00:20:15.380
traditionally think tanks do a lot of thinking and the heritage foundation still does that but it also
00:20:20.360
thankfully has begun doing heritage has built a massive investigative and litigation operation
00:20:27.820
out of its headquarters to save this country from the corruption that is taking it over both
00:20:33.120
actual literal corruption financial corruption there's a lot of that but also ideological and moral
00:20:38.760
corruption and to fight back heritage is engaging in almost 50 separate lawsuits against various
00:20:44.780
government entities to try and pry out information to bring a little sunlight to the process that even
00:20:49.600
congress can't get and it's been working they produce documents exposing the biden crime family to the rest
00:20:54.880
of the world you've read those stories and help kill the sweetheart deal that biden's doj tried to make
00:21:00.820
with his son hunter biden heritage has also developed a comprehensive plan to dismantle the deep state the swamp
00:21:07.140

what is the what is the beast the beast is going to be whatever entity a group of nations it speaks of
00:23:57.640
that will set into motion we always talk about globalists and the globalist agenda and all these
00:24:03.000
things it will be a a globalized stranglehold on the human population that they will know
00:24:10.800
where you spend your money where you get your money reminds me of central bank digital currency
00:24:17.820
if something like that so i've read i'm embarrassed this is being recorded i probably
00:24:21.800
shouldn't admit this i've read revelation actually i tried to understand it um last year
00:24:26.200
i didn't realize it said how did i miss that it says you can't buy or sell without the mark of the
00:24:33.160
beast without the mark yes john on the apostle john on some greek island 2 000 years ago said that
00:24:39.760
yes he did yes he did and so so prior to technology showing up where it's at now in 2024
00:24:46.600
these things were impossible couldn't i mean this how's that going to happen that's a pretty
00:24:50.440
specific call though to very specific yeah so now all the things that need to exist physically
00:24:58.260
are all here now so that the prophecies that have been laid out could now physically manifest now i
00:25:04.720
don't know if that's going to be today or a hundred years from now or a thousand years from now i don't
00:25:08.980
know the answer to that but i do know this is a new era so when you read revelation and you read
00:25:14.840
daniel and you read these other these other prophecies it's now doesn't sound like science fiction
00:25:20.000
anymore because we see it every single day that is absolutely crazy is that a light bulb going off
00:25:26.860
or what well yeah yeah i don't and i also don't quite know how i read the whole thing and didn't
00:25:33.000
catch that well it's a because that is this that is one of the central questions i mean that's like
00:25:38.320
top three question of our current moment is will we allow technology to take our autonomy away
00:25:44.880
and for example control what we buy or sell i mean right well i mean yeah with the advent what
00:25:52.080
we've got ai now in the mix we've got all these things that i mean we already know they they track
00:25:57.060
us we already know they know where we spend our money we already know all those things i wanted to
00:26:01.080
talk about you know spiritual warfare we just saw president trump almost murdered on stage and
00:26:08.960
everybody i've heard talk about it even his detractors say that was an act of god that he did
00:26:16.140
not die yes it was it was also an act of god that the situation was allowed to happen in the first place
00:26:22.340
don't forget that part it's all an act of god all of it so the lord allowed the situation to happen and
00:26:30.880
then he allowed donald trump to survive the situation i wonder i had this thought this
00:26:38.080
morning before i came and saw you and i was reading and thinking praying about it and i said
00:26:43.420
i wonder if what just happened to donald trump this near-death experience he just survived
00:26:50.680
is not an analogy for what's about to happen to the united states of america is america at some
00:26:59.900
point gonna have a near-death experience but survive it but nevertheless have a near-death
00:27:05.940
experience you know if you look at america nobody's ever been more blessed than america
00:27:11.940
nobody's ever been more prosperous than america more free than america we've been given every
00:27:16.100
possible thing you could ever want life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and what has our country
00:27:21.920
done with that not every person but as a whole what have we done with that how much blasphemous
00:27:28.880
things have come from this country and exist unchecked right now in our society and i think
00:27:35.280
to myself well is america immune from the wrath of god are we immune from it because i'm pretty sure
00:27:41.860
he's really upset with a lot of the things we've done and i think the only way people ever truly repent
00:27:47.960
and come back around is to have those what we could call a near-death experience that those experiences
00:27:54.460
happen throughout the bible where uh saul from uh futurely known as paul who wrote most of the new
00:28:00.700
testament his whole job was to go out and hunt down christians and cut their heads off that's his job
00:28:07.900
he was good at it he was ruthless town to town to town they oh saul's coming hide hide he cut their
00:28:15.120
heads off cut their heads off and then on the road to damascus he gets knocked flat on his butt and is
00:28:21.820
blinded for several days and in those moments he realized oh wow he's real i've been cutting the
00:28:29.220
heads off of his people this entire time and he had a near-death experience and when paul came when paul
00:28:35.200
saul came out of that he then became paul and then he wrote half of the new testament this is not new
00:28:41.340
in in god's mo when the bible's when when god says about himself i am the same yesterday today and
00:28:48.060
forever my word does not change we change culture changes the world changes but he doesn't so i however
00:28:56.280
he dealt with things all the way back to the beginning of the written word is exactly how he's
00:29:00.880
going to deal with them now and into the future and that is something people don't want to come to grips
00:29:05.260
with they america likes to make jesus into their own image a lot of christians like to make jesus in
00:29:11.960
their image they want the version of jesus that they like they like the savior part they don't like
00:29:17.180
the lord part it's lord and savior what's the difference well the savior part is is the part
00:29:23.240
that saves your soul and you you get to go be with him when you die the lord part he refers to uh
00:29:30.800
his people as bond slaves bond slaves we are supposed to be bond slaves to christ meaning you are a piece
00:29:39.980
of property he owns you you don't have your will does not matter what you want to do does not matter
00:29:47.080
he owns you that's what it means to truly become an actual real christian as you turn everything over
00:29:54.100
to him it's like the the what does it mean to repent what does that mean repentance is like uh if
00:30:02.900
you were if you were driving your truck out here and you saw jesus christ standing on the side of the
00:30:07.420
highway you go holy cow jesus standing on the side of the highway he needs a ride so you pull over
00:30:13.340
you roll down the window you go hey jesus you need a ride and he goes yep and he walks around to your
00:30:18.820
side of the car and knocks on the door and says move over and he sits behind the steering wheel and
00:30:24.480
turns a u-turn and goes the other direction or wherever he wants to go that's repentance repentance is
00:30:31.480
not i like the savior part i don't like the lord part it's just like belief and faith the difference
00:30:36.820
between those two things the devil himself believes in jesus christ he knows all about him he's been
00:30:41.660
fighting with him since the beginning belief i'm listen what is this it's a chair it's a nice chair
00:30:47.320
good strong chair made well before i sat down in this chair i look at that chair and i go i believe
00:30:53.660
that chair will hold me up i really do it's a nice chair strong chair but until i sit down in the chair
00:30:59.940
i don't have faith that the chair will hold me up you have i have to trust and and have faith in this
00:31:06.880
chair that i will not go crashing down to the floor when i sit down on it that's what faith is
00:31:12.100
the jesus that um exists and whose words and deeds are recorded in the new testament
00:31:20.360
how is that jesus different from the one that we hear about in a lot of churches
00:31:26.840
you know um there's a verse i actually printed it out i know it but i just i don't want to misquote
00:31:34.160
uh scripture at all second chronicle 7 14 very well-known verse gets quoted all the time
00:31:43.480
if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from
00:31:51.940
their wicked ways then i will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land
00:31:58.620
okay that gets read all the time here's the part they missed tucker the very first line if my people
00:32:05.500
will repent if my people will turn from their wicked ways not the devil's people he's not saying
00:32:13.400
yeah if the devil's followers will just repent and turn around i'll come heal your land no he said if
00:32:18.060
my people will mine the ones who have my name who bear my name christians if they will repent and turn
00:32:27.440
from their wicked ways and humble themselves i will come heal their land so the answer to your question
00:32:32.460
is for a very long period of time in this country we've not had any type of persecution or horrible
00:32:40.460
things happening that would that would humble a christian like that and refocus them to understand
00:32:46.000
who he actually is and so because of that all these bad things are happening now that is not going
00:32:52.420
to be preached in a church i promise you tucker no preacher is going to say it's our fault that this
00:32:57.940
is happening why because it puts the onus on them on me on you on christians they don't want to have
00:33:05.000
to take that what it can't be my fault this is all the devil's work well it says right here if my people
00:33:10.540
if my it says it right there if my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and
00:33:16.180
seek my face and turn from their wicked ways dude read what it says i mean for too long preachers have
00:33:24.300
gone in and and sanded the edges off of these very literal and very powerful verses to suit the
00:33:31.160
narrative it's not it's not unlike uh what they do in the media we always talk about how the media will
00:33:35.980
take a a story about how a war started or some some big thing that's going on and they'll twist it
00:33:42.640
around to fit the narrative that they want to have to accomplish whatever it is well the same thing
00:33:48.040
happens with scripture all the time and it's been happening for a very long time i would i would say
00:33:53.520
even hundreds of years it's been happening so it is interesting the i mean they replace the white
00:34:00.640
house replaces easter with trans visibility day they put an old lady and many others in prison for
00:34:08.020
praying in an abortion clinic these are obvious attacks on christianity um putting christians in
00:34:14.000
prison because they're christians that's an attack on christianity and you haven't heard a ton from
00:34:19.140
preachers on that i mean some but you'd think they would be rising up as one and saying no no not allowed
00:34:26.280
but they're not and so it does feel like if there is pushback against us well you're a country music
00:34:32.380
star and you're pushing back why is it falling to you that's a great question i mean trust me i'm going
00:34:39.600
i'm asking the same question um but if you read back through the the history of the bible some of the
00:34:44.500
people that came forward and and brought messages forward were the most unlikely human beings you would
00:34:50.840
have ever picked almost almost all the 12 disciples i mean a bunch of sailors a tax collector i mean
00:34:57.600
random people that became the 12 disciples are saul going into paul i mean the guy that's murdering
00:35:05.920
the christians we're going to have him write most of the new testament guys that's the plan really
00:35:09.540
i mean who would have thought that no it's you're totally right go back to go back to moses you know
00:35:14.100
moses uh did not want to did not want to go tell pharaoh to let my people go he goes it says that
00:35:19.760
moses basically had a speech impediment he couldn't speak well yeah he goes you want me to go give this
00:35:24.680
big message to pharaoh i can't even speak very well he goes yeah but your brother aaron can so aaron's
00:35:29.900
going to go with you and aaron's going to help you speak and tell but you're going to be the one
00:35:34.240
delivering the message moses like i don't want to do this i don't want to do this he goes you're
00:35:38.580
going to do it and he goes okay fine i'll go do it i mean and moses doesn't even have like he's so
00:35:44.700
mad at his own people that at one point he says to god just kill me i can't deal with these people
00:35:48.520
they're hard right exactly why did you pick this guy david is a great example so david david is the
00:35:56.400
only man in the bible that god said is a man after my own heart i got to be the greatest compliment
00:36:01.700
ever given to a human being for god to say david is a man after my own heart but let's let's think
00:36:07.400
about who david was for a minute so david when we first really start learning about him he's a shepherd
00:36:12.340
boy probably a teenager and the israelites are facing off with the philistines and they refuse
00:36:20.300
to take on the philistines because of this giant standing out there named goliath we all know this
00:36:25.260
story and david goes to visit his brothers out there in the field and he's like why are you guys
00:36:30.460
not why are they still over there blaspheming us i mean why haven't you taken these guys out and they
00:36:35.580
go well david don't you know they've got a giant he goes oh that's why you're not doing it because
00:36:40.300
they got a giant well yeah he's 10 feet tall he goes oh okay i'll be right back and david runs down
00:36:46.400
to the creek and he picks up a few rocks and has his sling on him he goes watch this wham he lets
00:36:52.980
the rock fly hits goliath right between the eyes and knocks him down people think that that's what
00:36:58.120
killed goliath but that's not what killed goliath that's what knocked him down and so when he knocked
00:37:02.480
him down there's goliath laying there dazed and confused like wow what just happened and as he's in
00:37:07.180
that state david pulls goliath's own sword out of out of goliath's sheath which was probably heavier
00:37:12.940
than he was raised it up over his head and cut goliath's head off in front of the philistines
00:37:19.080
and the hebrews and then he turns around and looks at the hebrews go you ready to fight now
00:37:23.140
and they went wham and here they come and they destroyed the philistines they ran them completely
00:37:28.600
out of there so if david's a man after god's own heart and that's how david operated
00:37:33.380
i would argue that's how christians are supposed to operate there's a difference between you know
00:37:39.060
the scripture it says pray for your enemies you know that one of course there's a difference in
00:37:44.700
our enemies and god's enemies does not say to pray for god's enemies matter of fact it's the quite
00:37:52.520
opposite of that in proverbs 6 people that say well god loves everybody nowhere does it say that
00:37:59.500
proverbs 6 it lists the people that god hates it uses the word hate and one of the first thing
00:38:05.040
he lists is those whose feet are swift to shed innocent blood yes he hates them we are not supposed
00:38:11.680
to pray for them and you go into psalms 139 and david says i hate your enemies talking to god with a
00:38:18.440
perfect hatred that's what he wrote down so there's a lot that christians are confused about right now
00:38:26.000
it's all kind of mangled up and mished and mashed together from from all the centuries of preaching
00:38:30.800
this stuff that they have lost their edge they've forgotten who they are and they've forgotten
00:38:36.440
how jesus operated how his people operated and where we're supposed to land when this is all said and
00:38:43.060
done especially when you were taking on the absolute evil that runs the world like we talk about in
00:38:47.820
ephesians the spiritual warfare it's interesting i i learn most by sort of negative assessments in other
00:38:54.640
words if you look at people who you know are doing the wrong thing um what do they hate what are they
00:39:00.680
opposed to and that tells you a lot and they're so focused on christians who are the most peaceful
00:39:08.200
law-abiding decent even if you think they're insane they're they're definitely not mugging anybody
00:39:15.380
right why are you mad at them right but they are and they feel very very threatened christian nationalism
00:39:21.220
yeah you know what i mean do you really think that those are the people you need to worry no you want
00:39:25.780
more people like that but the the people in charge don't feel that way they're very threatened by the
00:39:31.700
christians and i just think that that's the most revealing of all yeah because they know who dwells
00:39:37.100
within the christians the boss the ultimate the alpha the omega the one whose blood was poured out
00:39:44.980
on a tree for us that's who lives inside of us the one who created the devil himself
00:39:50.580
that's who they're afraid of so you said a minute ago that um that history will end time will end
00:39:59.080
jesus will return you don't know when right it says we don't know exactly okay so can you and i i get
00:40:05.620
at least once a day someone coming by my house and leaving me something about the end times and which
00:40:10.920
i appreciate of course and um no i'm i'm actually serious sure and uh every single day and that's
00:40:17.640
great and i and i've met a lot of the people and that couldn't be nicer but in some of the stuff that
00:40:22.480
they leave which i read actually um there's a sense that like we can predict through numerology for
00:40:28.180
example like the day this is history's ending and you're saying we can't no the bible says we can't
00:40:34.240
i'm not saying anything the bible says uh no man knows the time nor the hour when jesus will return
00:40:39.800
and that's correct nobody knows can i back up 200 years with you real quick i know you love history
00:40:48.960
yes 200 years ago basically in 1830 a very wealthy very charismatic preacher named john darby d-a-r-b-y
00:41:00.100
came with this doctrine that's now referred to as the secret rapture or the pre-tribulation rapture
00:41:08.520
and that message took off why wouldn't it i mean who doesn't want to hear that we'll all be out of
00:41:15.620
here before anything bad happens that's a great message that'll that'll pack the fuse right there
00:41:19.660
i love it and and it allowed them to say for all we know the rapture could happen before this church
00:41:24.520
service ends right now so you better move and i guess to that end it had a great effect a lot of
00:41:29.040
people a lot of people got saved over that who came up with the idea that you only vote in november
00:41:34.380
in elections no you vote every single day with your time and your money you show your preferences
00:41:41.580
you put your support behind things you believe in and you withhold support from things you don't you

a few decades after that a guy named c.i. schofield have you ever heard of a schofield bible yes i have
00:43:33.200
okay so c.i. schofield was a basically a student of john darby and he adopted that part of the
00:43:40.040
doctrine and he incorporated that into the bible it was the first bible ever made that had study notes
00:43:45.400
with it we have all kinds of bibles now that have you know concordances and study notes and all kinds
00:43:50.040
of stuff that go along but this was the first one that was ever ever made it became so popular
00:43:55.180
every christian was reading it every minister was reading it and this this continues today to this exact
00:44:00.900
second my own dad when he went in seminary and was you know wanting to become a minister they said
00:44:07.080
make sure you have a schofield bible now when you come to class have your schofield bible schofield
00:44:11.800
bible also adopted that that entire john darby philosophy of christians will not be here when the
00:44:19.120
bad stuff starts to happen and most christians still believe that matter of fact a lot of my friends
00:44:24.220
that are christians are going to watch this interview are probably right now going hang on a minute
00:44:27.720
now hang on so this is a this is pushing back against a doctrine that's been in existence now
00:44:34.660
for coming up on 200 years the problem with that doctrine is there's a several places in the bible
00:44:41.500
where it talks about what's going to happen prior to jesus christ coming back to the earth when he does
00:44:49.200
come back that is when what we call the rapture happens the word rapture is nowhere in the bible it
00:44:53.580
talks about us being caught up with him and pulled out of here and then and then the ultimate wrath is
00:44:58.080
poured out on this planet that's what we call the rapture but so that's not in debate the question is
00:45:03.940
what happens leading up to that it's a good question to ask right for some reason nobody ever preaches that
00:45:09.700
they don't want to talk about what all happens prior to it so if i can can i just read if we have
00:45:15.720
time that's why i love the thought of this interview just oh i do too but just to be clear
00:45:20.060
what you're saying is the scofield bible its theology is deceptive i'm saying that the same
00:45:27.360
way the media takes a factual situation and twists it and gives you a version of it which we all know
00:45:34.940
we're force-fed every single day the same exact tactic was used in 1830 by john darby and guess who
00:45:42.940
he was connected to by the way the rothschilds interesting yeah he was connected to the rothschilds
00:45:49.120
family back in the day that he did the same exact tactic and twisted that i don't know why he did
00:45:54.040
that it worked because it took off and i mean it was there were churches popping up everywhere
00:45:59.340
right after that i'm saying that including me including my own father for a long time that's what
00:46:06.980
we believe too but when you start actually going back and reading line by line by line what is said
00:46:11.920
that will be leading up to jesus coming back which is when the rapture happens it's a it's the inverse
00:46:17.220
of what john darby put down i didn't know that uh but somehow i'm not surprised even a little bit
00:46:24.760
yeah yeah um yeah i'm sorry i interrupted you i just want to be totally clear about what you were
00:46:31.080
saying so you're saying you want i'm curious how you take this what i'm telling you right now i don't
00:46:35.060
know that personally i mean i know nothing about any of this stuff um but i decided to read the bible
00:46:41.680
about a year and a half ago i did um and it really just changed my life i just thought it was just the
00:46:47.480
most amazing thing i've ever read or or done uh but when i decided to do that i'm so distrustful
00:46:54.320
you know i didn't grow up around preachers but i i have real distrust and i think it's earned and so
00:47:01.220
i didn't want any commentary in my but the bible that i bought on amazon.com
00:47:05.700
thanks jeff yeah i just want to know what it says and um so yeah i and uh to this day including
00:47:15.220
this morning i mean i just i just want to because i'm coming from total ignorance that my father was
00:47:19.420
not a preacher not to put it mildly so um yeah i don't have the background at all so i just want
00:47:25.160
to know what it says i don't want to be misled i've lived a life uh you know in the media so i'm
00:47:30.780
highly familiar with how populations are misled lied to deceived and then hurt on the basis of
00:47:37.580
those lies i know a lot about that and i didn't want that i don't want that's why i don't have tv
00:47:41.160
that's why i don't like the internet i don't want that stuff in my head and so i have no commentary at
00:47:45.100
all in the bible that i'm reading and um but my sense was the scofield stuff which has had
00:47:50.760
massive implications uh for our foreign policy for example and in our domestic politics was was
00:47:57.220
probably a lie you know it seems like a lie to me but i but i don't really know because i don't think
00:48:02.360
i don't think all of it was a lie i think this this particular subject uh that that was you know
00:48:08.560
that that translation or that that commentary on uh the bible has had massive effects on our politics
00:48:17.920
that have been very very negative and resulted in the deaths of a lot of people so i do know that
00:48:23.780
for a fact but i don't know much about the theology so would you mind explain i interrupted you you're
00:48:29.360
gonna get to that you're not interrupt to me this this is a great it's very powerful conversation i
00:48:34.040
don't i think we're the only two humans on earth having this conversation in front of everybody i
00:48:39.060
feel like people are very open to things that well i speak for myself i i had zero interest in having
00:48:44.680
any kind of conversation about the bible three years ago right um not against the bible never been
00:48:49.520
against the bible i believe in god i believed in god three years ago but i i wasn't that interested
00:48:54.180
in talking about revelation i mean i'm right i'm a wasp you don't talk about that stuff so um but i feel
00:49:00.300
like it's not just me i think that a lot of people are reaching the conclusion that the materialist
00:49:06.380
society we grew up in you know is insufficient to explain what we're seeing yeah and that we're
00:49:13.660
facing off against these forces we ascribe names to them like leftism or communism or there's
00:49:19.320
something that's more than that those are that that doesn't tell the whole story this is a theology
00:49:23.600
that's being pushed on us and so maybe it's worth knowing more about it yeah i think people are
00:49:29.080
watching what's happening in our country and around the world and they're becoming more and more fearful
00:49:33.180
of it even to the point of dread a lot of people are just consumed by what is happening that's right
00:49:38.040
and they want answers they want a truthful answer will somebody please tell me the truth and the truth
00:49:43.120
about that is the only ultimate truth is not me and it's not you and it's not any politician or
00:49:48.660
anybody on tv it's what the book says now if you're if you're watching this and you go i i don't believe
00:49:54.640
in i'm an atheist and that whatever that doesn't matter that's fine but if you're watching this you're
00:50:00.400
going to hear it anyway because it is the truth and the truth has a way of penetrating well i would
00:50:04.140
also say this is how i felt about myself like i had all kinds of opinions about god and religion and
00:50:08.560
all that stuff but it's kind of hard to have it's like i have lots of opinions about anna karenina
00:50:14.240
but i've read it i mean i guess it's just worth reading the document and it's long it took me you
00:50:21.600
know 15 months to read it or 14 months but it's work it's like no one has read it just read it and
00:50:28.220
then get back to me and let's have a conversation about what what's in there right that's like the
00:50:32.020
first step just read it maybe you're an atheist maybe you're christopher hitchens it doesn't matter
00:50:36.260
just read what's in there by the way that's the foundation of western civilization so just as a
00:50:41.040
you know as a historical matter you should know what's in there but nobody does agreed very few
00:50:46.340
people do so why is it dangerous right now that christians have this idea that they're going to
00:50:56.620
be out of here before any of the things that are prophesied about happen why is that dangerous it's
00:51:01.360
dangerous because when the mark of the beast shows up when the son of perdition shows up who is who
00:51:08.020
referred to as the antichrist when those things happen and they're still here they'll say well
00:51:15.440
that can't be the mark of the beast that can't be the antichrist because i'm still here what danger
00:51:22.040
does that put someone in that's not the mark of the beast because i'm still here so go ahead sign
00:51:26.380
me up think about the the level of danger with that and it has not existed in my opinion until
00:51:32.700
recently since technology has gotten to the point to actually execute these things so if if you got a
00:51:39.160
second can i can i read something for you or unless you want to ask me something yeah so uh lexi's just
00:51:44.280
come in with this yeah uh breaking news judge dismisses classified documents case against donald trump
00:51:53.380
judge eileen cannon has dismissed the classified documents case in a ruling monday
00:51:57.760
uh she said the appointment of the special counsel jack smith violated the constitution
00:52:02.240
well that's kind of um i mean i'm just hearing this because it just happened but uh
00:52:08.220
it does it does seem like all of a sudden and i'm sorry to interrupt but i just don't respond to that
00:52:16.100
um it seems like everything has aligned in the period of like three days to make it very obvious
00:52:23.400
donald trump's gonna be the next president there's no doubt about it at this point very little doubt
00:52:27.600
to the extent you can tell the future but what do you make of that uh well they tried to kill him
00:52:33.860
yeah well well there's that i mean and they missed or god turned his head and they missed and then
00:52:41.260
within like four minutes elon musk endorses him richest man in the world right biggest most
00:52:46.440
important media mogul in the world by far and you know bill ackman lifelong democrat it's like all of
00:52:53.180
a sudden it's just everything changes in one moment well when god shows up uh that clearly it's hard for
00:53:00.100
even the biggest detractors to deny it they go what did i just watch you just watched god turned
00:53:07.440
donald trump's head literally a split second part of a second right before the bullet whizzed by i mean
00:53:13.560
if he'd have still been looking this way it catches him here he turns this way it catches him here we
00:53:18.000
all just watched it i mean think about god making his presence known i mean on the biggest possible
00:53:23.380
story you ever could and the whole world just saw that so now now you've got people going okay i
00:53:28.780
believe it i believe it because how do you deny that no that's exactly right and and further further
00:53:35.820
evidence i mean we're i feel like we're in the middle of history we're in the middle america is
00:53:40.840
a movie and we have no idea how it ends but clearly right right and the timing of revelation coming out
00:53:48.080
i could there's no way to know all this stuff i mean that song comes out a few days ago and then this
00:53:54.960
happens and that happens and and now i looked on looked on x and spiritual warfare is trending and
00:54:00.660
all these people are talking about that and i went okay i get it i mean that's why it was written
00:54:07.720
that that's like the musical component that's out floating around out there right now while all this
00:54:13.040
is happening i mean there there's no coincidence in the world that can allow for that to happen
00:54:17.840
do you believe that there are any coincidences no do you no i used to i've seen too much i'm 55
00:54:26.760
i don't think god is coincidental i keep sidetracking you no you're fine so i'm sorry i just
00:54:36.020
wanted to she brought that in no that's big deal that's crazy that's absolutely crazy so a lot of a
00:54:42.560
lot of christians watching this right now are very upset with me why because i'm saying something that's
00:54:47.760
pushing back against something they have grown up believing i grew up believing it too so did my dad
00:54:52.060
and for since 1830 people have believed this that you're going to be out of here before any of the
00:54:56.540
bad stuff happens it just doesn't say that so if you can give me enough time to read oh my gosh
00:55:03.300
please i'm i'm fascinated this is second thessalonians 2 which doesn't get preached very much this is paul
00:55:11.160
wrote this now brethren concerning the coming of our lord jesus christ and our gathering together to him
00:55:17.860
meaning his second coming we ask you not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled either by spirit
00:55:25.240
or by word or by letter as is from us as though the day of christ had come let no one deceive you
00:55:33.040
by any means for that day the day he comes back will not come unless the falling away comes first
00:55:42.000
and the man of sin is revealed the son of perdition who is who we refer to as the antichrist
00:55:49.200
who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called god or that is worshiped so that he sits
00:55:56.700
as god in the temple or in the place of god showing himself that he is god
00:56:03.580
jesus hadn't come back yet this is happening do you not remember when i was still with you
00:56:11.940
i told you these things and now you know what is restraining that he may be revealed in his own
00:56:18.560
time for the mystery of lawlessness is already at work only he who now restrains will do so until he
00:56:25.820
is taken out of the way meaning it's being held back and then the lawless one will be revealed whom
00:56:32.020
the lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming
00:56:37.440
talking about the second coming the coming of the lawless one is according to the work of satan
00:56:44.180
with all power signs and lying wonders and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish
00:56:51.100
because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved meaning it was rejected they
00:56:57.180
were told the truth and they rejected it and for this reason god will send them a strong delusion
00:57:03.520
that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had
00:57:10.260
pleasure and unrighteousness let's stop right there you're telling me god is gonna send a delusion on
00:57:16.840
people he's gonna do that he's gonna be the one to make them go into chaos and not understand he says
00:57:23.860
yes that is what he's gonna do because he's given them chance after chance after chance and they refused
00:57:29.500
to believe the truth and rather believe the lie when the antichrist shows up but we are bound to
00:57:36.080
give thanks to god always for you brethren beloved by the lord because god from the beginning chose you
00:57:41.180
for salvation through sanctification by the spirit and belief in the truth to which he called you by our
00:57:47.780
gospel for the obtaining of glory of our lord jesus christ therefore brethren stand fast and hold the
00:57:54.680
traditions which you were taught whether by word or by epistle meaning by letter now may our lord jesus
00:58:01.440
christ himself and our god and father who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope
00:58:06.500
by grace comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work so that's second
00:58:12.840
thessalonians 2 he lays out before he comes back you're gonna see the antichrist he's gonna show up
00:58:20.360
he's gonna be running the place now that goes i'm telling you right now heads are exploding
00:58:25.600
in in the church world and with a lot of christians they're going but you can get mad all you want to
00:58:31.460
i'm reading it verbatim if you don't if you got a problem with that go tell him you got a problem with
00:58:36.700
it if you don't want to believe it put some louder fluid on your bible and throw it in the fireplace because
00:58:40.940
what's the point it says what it says so i i'm personally in a weird position where i've never heard
00:58:48.560
any of these conversations i didn't grow up in a in a church like that at all i grew up in a fake church
00:58:53.260
and um that makes total sense to me that there would be deception well there is deception everywhere
00:59:03.200
but you're saying that well it's saying that this letter paul's letter to the thessalonians says
00:59:09.980
and revelation says and maybe daniel says too it's all over the bible that there will be a leader
00:59:16.280
who people worship as god who is not god yeah let me i'll read this this piece one more time
00:59:22.480
let no one deceive you by any means for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first
00:59:29.760
and the man of sin is revealed the son of perdition which means lying this yeah the the son of perdition
00:59:36.880
is who they we would refer to as the antichrist the word antichrist doesn't exist in the bible
00:59:41.720
neither does rapture that's just when we read this throughout history really the word antichrist
00:59:46.100
is not in there no or rapture huh it's but it's it's the words we use to describe what they're laying
00:59:55.440
out so how dangerous is that if christians believe i'll be gone before this ever happens so when they
01:00:01.180
are still here and he does show up they're going to be walking right into a buzzsaw so that i mean but
01:00:06.980
it like raises the question that i wrestle with every day in every context which is how do you
01:00:12.300
know what's true how do you spot you know you're being lied to how do you know how do you know what's
01:00:18.780
deception and what's truth praying for discernment is very important that's that's my go-to but um
01:00:24.640
right think of anything else but what are the what are the signs that you're being lied to what are the
01:00:32.060
signs that something is bad i mean jesus says and it's it's it's just true you don't need to be a
01:00:37.340
christian to believe it that you judge a tree by its fruits i can call it an apple tree but if pears
01:00:42.320
come out it's not right exactly so how do we know which leaders are lying to us which are bad like what
01:00:50.820
are the signs if what they say and do runs counter to what god's word says they are lying
01:00:59.980
it's as simple as that people complicate this whole process and go exactly the question you're asking
01:01:06.200
how do i know who's telling the truth how do i know who's not well look at what they're standing for
01:01:11.160
fighting for how they're talking and then go take that and go read what the book says about it
01:01:16.980
what is god's stance on it and if they're opposed to that or out of line with that then they're wrong
01:01:22.440
and you base it against the ultimate truth that's it well i think that's why we have the bible i think
01:01:27.840
that's i think that's right humans can't figure this stuff out so this winter i'm standing in the
01:01:32.400
kitchen with my dogs and my wife comes in she's just come back from a long walk and she has this
01:01:37.240
look on her face this look of tranquility and joy and peace and i said what have you been doing and
01:01:44.320
she said i was praying and i said where she said on my walk for an hour and a half and it turns out
01:01:50.840
she was listening to something i'd never heard of before which is an app called hallow hallow h-a-l-l-o-w
01:01:57.960
hallow like hallowed and a friend of hers gave it to her and this set off a chain reaction in my family
01:02:04.520
where pretty much everyone in my family started to listen to hallow every day it's a prayer app
01:02:08.380
and it's the best way as you know to find peace and this makes it very easy to set aside the time
01:02:14.860
to deeply pray every single day i'm so impressed by hallow that i tracked down the number of the ceo
01:02:21.700
and i called him and i said i want to advertise this on our podcast because it's something that
01:02:25.420
i really believe in and i think you do an amazing job and it's basically non-denominational
01:02:29.980
christian you don't have to be catholic or protestant you can be any kind of christian but hallow will
01:02:34.880
help you focus your prayer in a way um that'll be very obvious to your husband when you walk into
01:02:40.760
the kitchen i can promise you that um it's an amazing amazing resource they've got like 10 000
01:02:46.740
audio guided prayers meditations bible studies famously mark walberg leads one of them it's just
01:02:53.380
really really good you can download it for three months free at hallow.com slash tucker and uh i strongly
01:03:00.740
recommend that you do that it puts a lot of us including me who's only read it once um at a
01:03:21.160
disadvantage because we're not that literate we're not biblically literate it's like i don't know
01:03:26.120
you know i didn't you've already told me a bunch of things that i thought i would have picked up
01:03:30.620
having read it and i missed them um so one marker that seems well i'll ask you do you think this is
01:03:36.400
a fair way to judge god creates order out of chaos right that's beginning of genesis and so
01:03:44.280
order and chaos are really significant markers for whether something is from god or or not and if you
01:03:51.840
get a lot of chaos like that's probably not from god right probably not most of the time except in
01:04:00.560
second thessalonians it says he will send a great delusion on the people because they refused the truth
01:04:06.560
and refused him for so long that he goes okay i've given you every shot i'm going to give you now here
01:04:12.220
comes the cloud here comes the fog here comes i don't know where i'm at and he's going to let those
01:04:16.980
people who rejected him over and over and over and rejected the truth he allows them as i call it
01:04:22.600
walking into the buzzsaw walking into the woodchipper that's a hard thing man for christians to come to
01:04:27.540
grips with that he said that that he would do that that's what it says so that means good people are
01:04:34.940
going to fall for lies it means that it it means that first of all there's i don't believe there's
01:04:41.400
such a thing as a good person and it says uh all of our trying to be i agree with all of our
01:04:47.060
righteousness is as filthy rags on the side of god is what it says i mean the only good thing about a
01:04:52.380
christian is that god's in them that jesus is in them that's it short of him being in there you're
01:04:56.720
just nasty filthy you know so but i think to your point yeah people who are not inherently wicked
01:05:03.400
people but have refused to to believe what he's told them for all this time and reject it reject it
01:05:10.480
reject it it says he'll send a great delusion anybody that wants to go read it i hope they
01:05:14.440
pick their bible up after this interview and go look it up but people who think of themselves as
01:05:18.660
sincerely godly people who are trying to be christian call themselves that right um they'll
01:05:23.600
fall for for the lie too it says many will it says many will so it sounds like you got to be
01:05:31.420
just on your game you got to be aware you got to be connected yeah tightly that some of the
01:05:37.440
things you think are good or not good right exactly right i mean you go back to like you
01:05:42.680
said 1830 and john darby and c.i scofield and i wasn't there i don't know why they did what they
01:05:48.780
did but that doctrine was very popular still it's still the main doctrine today oh i know
01:05:54.220
well the speaker of the house believes that of christian church most i'd say 99 of christians
01:05:59.140
believe it i mean i've been i've been anxious about this interview because i knew what i'm going
01:06:03.280
to say is going to rattle people in a major way but this is not my opinion tucker it's so funny i'm
01:06:09.040
just laughing because i'm i'm from a world where i don't think i don't think i know anyone who's
01:06:13.480
heard of scofield i'm only learning of this recently right there are many different cultures in america
01:06:18.220
we're just from very different ones so yeah it's funny but is that true so even now people believe
01:06:23.780
that 100 percent well maybe that's a a good example of the principle that you're describing
01:06:29.400
or the fact that you're describing yeah that christians were you know trying their best
01:06:35.380
yeah we're still going to fall for things that are lies because because they have they have
01:06:39.880
yes because not just them and this is not the preacher's fault this is not the christians fault
01:06:46.080
they're not at fault for this this has been around since way way way before any of us were ever
01:06:50.980
thought about it's become accepted doctrine that that the footnotes and the that scofield adopted
01:06:57.640
from darby is biblically accurate and the only way those can be biblically accurate is you're
01:07:02.800
going to have to erase several of the things that were said and they're like the one i just read in
01:07:07.720
second thessalonians 2 you'd have to rip those pages out for that to make sense because it literally
01:07:12.640
lays out step by step this you're going to see this and then i'm going to show up the greatest one ever
01:07:18.100
is matthew 24 and that that does get preached a lot but they preach it backwards and i don't know how
01:07:24.220
much i don't know how much scripture you'll let me read on the show i'm really interested by the way
01:07:28.420
anyone who's not interested in this stuff will have fallen away by now sure but i think again
01:07:34.500
at least in the weird world that i'm from more people are interested in this than have ever been
01:07:39.460
i think so i think it does talk about a great revival happening at some point you know that's when i go
01:07:45.180
back to a near-death experience will get your attention faster than anything it happened to me i know
01:07:49.800
yeah i've had a couple myself yeah all right matthew 24 you ready yeah now this is jesus talking to the
01:07:56.560
disciples and they're hanging out in a park basically in a nice little spot that they were
01:08:01.260
hanging out matthew 24 start with verse 3 now as he sat on the mount of olives talking about jesus the
01:08:08.320
disciples came to him privately saying tell us when will these things be and what will be the sign of
01:08:13.920
your coming in the end of the age asking him and jesus answered and said to them take heed that no
01:08:21.140
one deceives you for many will come in my name saying i am the christ and will deceive many and
01:08:28.220
you will hear of wars and rumors of wars see that you are not troubled for all these things must come
01:08:34.880
to pass but the end is not yet for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and
01:08:41.340
there will be famines pestilences and earthquakes in various places all these are the beginning of
01:08:48.040
sorrows then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you and you will be hated by all nations
01:08:56.360
for my name's sake now that's an important part right there because a lot of people have taught over
01:09:03.440
the years that because he was talking to the 12 disciples that he was specifically only referring to
01:09:09.300
them and their country and their their heritage but when it says for bearing my name for my name's
01:09:16.800
sake that means chinese christians north korean christians eskimo christians south american christians
01:09:22.300
american christians anybody in this period of time that bears the name of jesus christ will be hunted it
01:09:28.320
says killed hunted hated by all the nations around the earth that's an important distinction and then many
01:09:35.020
will be offended that sounds familiar will betray one another and will hate one another then many
01:09:41.740
false prophets will rise up and deceive many and because lawlessness will abound the love of many
01:09:48.460
will grow cold but he who endures to the end shall be saved and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached
01:09:54.680
in all the world as a witness to all nations and then the end will come now here we go here
01:10:00.520
therefore when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by daniel the prophet
01:10:07.960
the abomination of desolation tucker is when the antichrist steps into that role that we talked about
01:10:13.280
in second thessalonians when you see him standing in the holy place then let those who are in judaea
01:10:19.980
flee to the mountains let he who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of the house and let
01:10:24.760
him who is in the field not go back to even get his clothes and woe to those who are pregnant
01:10:30.200
and to those who are nursing babies in those days and pray that your flight may not be in winter
01:10:35.220
or on the sabbath for then will be the great tribulation such has not been seen since the
01:10:42.900
beginning of the world under this time no nor ever shall be jesus still hadn't come back yet remember
01:10:49.560
this is the disciples asking him what's it gonna what's gonna happen before you come back all these
01:10:53.740
things are happening and unless those days be shortened no flesh would be saved but for the elect's sake
01:10:59.880
meaning his people those days will be shortened then if anyone says to you look here's the christ
01:11:05.480
or there do not believe it for false christ and false prophets will rise and show great signs and
01:11:10.560
wonders to deceive meaning they'll perform miracles in front of you if possible they could even deceive
01:11:16.160
the elect see that i've told you beforehand therefore if they say to you look he's in the desert do not
01:11:23.060
go there or look he's in the inner rooms do not believe it for as the lightning comes from the east and
01:11:28.360
flashes to the west so also will be the coming of the son of man for wherever the carcass is there
01:11:34.000
the eagles will be gathered together now we're in verse 29 immediately after the tribulation of those
01:11:41.400
days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light the stars will fall from heaven and
01:11:47.260
the powers of heavens will be shaken then verse 30 then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven
01:11:54.960
and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the son of man coming on the clouds
01:12:00.180
of heaven with power and great glory and then he will send his angels with a great cloud and a trumpet
01:12:06.600
and they will gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other
01:12:12.120
matthew 24 when the disciples asked him what's going to be happening before you come back boss
01:12:17.940
all right sit down i'm going to tell you and he goes play by play and then this and then that and
01:12:25.020
then this and this and this and after this happens then you'll see me coming so it is such a dangerous
01:12:32.420
mindset for really save people and christians to think that they're going to be pulled out of here
01:12:38.080
before any of this happens why is that dangerous because when those things happen you're going to
01:12:42.480
think it's not the real deal you're going to think well i'm still here so that can't be it it must be
01:12:47.660
something else and the decisions you make under that false pretense could could be catastrophe would
01:12:52.820
be catastrophic to you it says anybody that takes the mark of the beast that their name is not written
01:12:58.780
in the lamb's book of life meaning the names that are written down the ones that are that are going to
01:13:04.400
heaven your name is not written in the lamb's book of life if you take that i mean this is no joke
01:13:09.720
how do you not take it how do you not take the mark yeah you have to be willing to die
01:13:16.080
suffer uh i think about there's there's christians right now all over the world being killed by the
01:13:23.180
hundreds of thousands we just don't talk about it they're killing them in china they're killing
01:13:26.660
them in north korea they're killing them in africa they're killing them in the middle east why are we
01:13:31.820
above those people you think you think america gets to dodge this at some point absolutely not it is a
01:13:40.080
it's a perilous thing to bear the name of jesus christ in this world one of the reasons i wound up
01:13:48.400
believing that this was true is because as you read this and you read jesus's pitch to his followers
01:13:56.180
his disciples right it's kind of the opposite well you're in the entertainment business you know
01:14:00.760
it's the opposite of any other advertising campaign that you would mount like use this laundry
01:14:07.140
detergent it makes your clothes cleaner right you know what i mean right eat this food it's delicious
01:14:11.740
right jesus is like follow me and you're going to get hated by everybody including your own family
01:14:18.340
and then killed bingo people are going to celebrate your death and that message became the world's biggest
01:14:25.180
religion created western civilization and you're like well wait a second that's really that's the pitch
01:14:31.360
how'd you get anyone to sign up for that well when yeah when christianity launched everybody knew
01:14:36.660
that's what it was and they they just not that long ago jesus was crucified why would anybody sign
01:14:41.240
up for that i mean if a preacher and many do comes out and says if you believe this you're going to get
01:14:49.160
rich get a hot wife get a huge house you know all good things will happen to you i get it i mean who
01:14:56.420
wouldn't want that but if someone like jesus says you're going to get to you get to be tortured to
01:15:02.920
death if you follow this like why would anyone follow that because they know that he's the son
01:15:08.140
of god okay that they that but that's what i'm saying that's like the greatest testimony in my view
01:15:13.700
this is the conclusion i came to after reading i was like how could well it must be true because
01:15:17.640
who would follow that no i don't think cerebrally you would ever take you'd ever bite that of course
01:15:24.940
not ever bite that hook i mean now you follow me and get tortured to death no i don't think
01:15:29.840
went past that hook yeah but when he gets a hold of you in a real way there's no denying what that is
01:15:34.900
and that's when people are converted that's when that when they feel that and they really give their
01:15:39.240
life to jesus christ and he comes in it's wham i mean it's there i mean there is no escaping what
01:15:45.840
that is it is as real as a heart attack so how should we feel about so what you're saying and i think
01:15:51.740
a lot of people will nod their heads like you you feel like something first of all that this is
01:15:55.980
this moment is real we're not making this up in our minds and you know there's suffering ahead
01:16:01.540
how should we feel about that well it's it's he gives a lot of tough commandments he says uh rejoice
01:16:07.460
when you're persecuted for bearing my name if they if they persecuted me what do you think they're
01:16:12.040
going to do to you i mean yeah exactly it's not it's not really your best tony robbins pitch as to
01:16:16.760
why you should sign up for this program but the benefit is it's it's your eternity that you're
01:16:23.180
talking about here you know if you live to be 200 years old it's like that in the history of time
01:16:28.780
it's nothing i mean like that if you touch your hand i had this thought a while back when uh somebody
01:16:35.060
says i broke my arm my arm is broken and i go and it hit me funny out of nowhere i went my arm like who
01:16:45.020
which part of you is claiming ownership of that arm does does anything own itself that's this is my
01:16:51.260
table that is my dog that is my car that is my business i'm somebody's employee they say that's
01:16:57.020
my employee something is is is is claimed by by something else throughout the world so you go my
01:17:04.660
arm my arm is broken what is that that's the spirit that's you that's the real you that has to live in
01:17:10.480
this piece of junk for however long it lives there you're actually hearing your spirit talk when you
01:17:15.940
say that this is my arm my face my head my talent my my my all this stuff and so people understand
01:17:25.260
they have to understand that god created you to live forever somewhere one place or the other
01:17:30.900
he sticks you down on these weak little banged up bodies that he gives us the weakest thing ever
01:17:35.940
and then turns the devil loose and then he gives us free will to decide which way do we want to go
01:17:43.440
that's why he became a man so he could empathize with man so he could understand the plight of man
01:17:48.740
what man has to deal with every single day from temptation to torture to love and sadness and
01:17:53.860
everything else jesus experienced all of that stuff so i think to your point of why would anybody ever do
01:17:59.280
that it's because it's not this you're trying to save it it's the actual eternal you that that is
01:18:05.620
being saved that gets to go live in eternity in heaven with him instead of on the other side and it's
01:18:10.800
why the other side fights so hard too they're not trying to take their bodies they're trying to take
01:18:14.400
their souls i also think there's there's something about hearing something true even if it's unexpected
01:18:20.940
you've never heard it before you never thought of it before it seems bizarre if it is true it was
01:18:26.180
actually true it resonates like a tuning fork it hums it feels different a true word feels different
01:18:33.540
from a false word yeah and there's something about these words that has struck people for thousands of
01:18:38.340
years in ways that you could never explain it's like oh that's true i know that that's true i was
01:18:43.640
made to know that that was true yeah because it's in you it's in you what kind of preacher is your dad
01:18:48.520
he is non-denominational uh he my dad generally focused his his ministry in prisons street ministry
01:18:58.000
my dad when i was growing up he did uh i think it was 34 mardi gras
01:19:02.940
in a row with a guitar hanging around his neck standing in the french quarter as all the parades
01:19:10.200
are going by and he's standing down there singing gospel music and preaching through a little speaker
01:19:16.480
that he had standing next to him and these parades would come by and spit on my dad from the top of his
01:19:23.240
head all the way down to his boots over and over and over and i asked him one time i said why did you
01:19:29.460
34 years 34 yeah i said why did you just why did you keep standing there with people hundreds of
01:19:35.960
people just spitting on you and he said because about one out of a hundred of them would stop
01:19:41.380
and ask me what i was talking about so you wipe spit off your face and you tell them what it is you're
01:19:47.020
here to talk about and i i have seen him do this where some i mean crazy looking guy you know totally out
01:19:55.120
there start locking in with my dad and before it's over guys down on his knees balling his head off
01:20:01.800
getting right with god uh there's been stories of men who were who had murdered multiple people and
01:20:07.400
gotten away with it and on a street ministry like that went and turned themselves into the police and
01:20:12.220
spent the rest of their life in prison that's my dad that's where he went did he get pretty rich
01:20:17.480
doing it oh yeah he's loaded yeah there's a lot of money in street preaching
01:20:21.060
you know you know ask him because he is a extremely charismatic very i mean his communication is just
01:20:28.800
i hope you get to hear him someday it is unbelievable he could have probably pastored the biggest churches
01:20:34.000
in america and been a very wealthy man doing it you ask him why didn't you do that he said because the
01:20:39.620
people that need to hear what i have to say are never going to walk into one of those church buildings
01:20:43.900
they're a lot behind bars they're out on the street at mardi gras they're wherever they are they're
01:20:48.860
never going to run into it unless i go to where they are so he has always gone to where the humility
01:20:53.460
required to preach at mardi gras on the street through a speaker is awe-inspiring and bravery
01:20:59.780
and conviction that's a scary moment but you're lowering yourself when you do that you're on the
01:21:06.020
street in the french quarter and i bet people did you're holding up a candle in a hurricane
01:21:09.720
yeah no one's impressed i mean most people are not impressed they think you're a fool you're crazy
01:21:15.080
sure you know there's kind of very limited affirmation from people no it's like you know
01:21:20.940
it's really cool you did that they're like shut up weirdo get out of here except when you've when
01:21:24.960
you've done that to hundreds of thousands of people the success rate may be one percent that's
01:21:31.240
still thousands of people it's just an amazing thing to do what did you think of that when you
01:21:36.040
were a kid oh i mean it's probably no doubt it's why i am like i am in a lot of ways that when you
01:21:44.700
grow up watching a dad who has that level of conviction and it's not that not that there's
01:21:49.700
no fear involved or like oh wow this is going to be no you're still going to feel that but but you
01:21:54.720
go do it anyway i mean trust me the conversation we just had about all this stuff i've been thinking
01:21:59.920
about it for weeks before i came here going there's a lot of people are not going to like
01:22:03.740
what i'm about to say what i'm about to read to them and push back against what they've been taught
01:22:08.500
their entire lives they're not going to like that but when a song like revelation comes along
01:22:13.360
when that's pounded into you and and you're like what do you want me to do with it and he goes all
01:22:17.180
the way this interview is part of going all the way with that you just go do it
01:22:21.680
were you proud of your dad when you were a kid oh my hero
01:22:27.520
100 i mean what kind of what kind of person can do that i mean
01:22:37.360
we see preachers on tv with 20 000 people in the audience and buy my book
01:22:42.720
buy my book put your money in the offering plate i'm going to get on my g6 and go fly over here on
01:22:48.880
a mission trip right and they give these lukewarm messages that keep all the all the christians just
01:22:54.840
feeling nice and comfortable all the time and they never go into the stuff that we're actually
01:22:58.700
talking about which by the way tucker is what is going to happen in this country and in this world
01:23:03.040
at some point and like i said early on everything that needs to be in place for these things to
01:23:07.760
happen exists now for preachers not to be preaching the truth about what's going on right now is such
01:23:13.420
a disservice to their congregations it's it's criminal truly and you and you feel it too oh you can
01:23:20.020
feel it all day long the stakes are so high right now it's like i said back in 1830 if you want to tell
01:23:24.720
people nothing bad's going to happen before you're raptured out of here okay well the rapture wasn't
01:23:29.100
possible at that point because a lot of the a lot of the prophecies hadn't come true everything we
01:23:33.960
just talked about in matthew 24 and second thessalians 2 but but now i would argue we're on
01:23:39.600
the doorstep of it seems pretty obvious that we are it feels like it is and and i think that's that's
01:23:45.620
why you see things like spiritual warfare trending on x really i mean and it's also why you see the
01:23:55.180
other side coming with everything they got it's why you see these songs about lucifer antichrist evil
01:23:59.660
and all this other horrible stuff being pushed out there they're throwing everything they got at it
01:24:03.900
right now and uh we got to stand up and go well i'm not strong enough to push you back but my dad is
01:24:11.460
you don't want to my daddy can beat up your daddy that's that it's that old phrase my daddy can beat
01:24:18.060
up your daddy and that's the absolute truth how how should christians respond day to day
01:24:23.100
christians better get as close as they possibly can because i think we all feel big things coming
01:24:31.020
we don't know what they are how bad they'll be or exactly when but everybody feels it in the air
01:24:35.900
i'm sure you feel it in the air there's just this thing you wake up you can feel it and the only real
01:24:41.400
truth out there is on the pages of the book everybody's got one in their house there's one in
01:24:45.400
every hotel room there you can go online and look up anything you want to look up and read it anytime you
01:24:50.140
want to that the word of god has never been more accessible to humanity than it is at this exact
01:24:54.880
second so i suggest you don't take the preacher's word for it don't take my word for it or anybody
01:24:59.560
else's you sit down and you read it for yourself and then put it into action what i mean what's your
01:25:08.100
life like now i mean no you're not you're not here to talk about yourself but you just had better
01:25:12.840
than it's ever been well i can tell but you've had this kind of amazing journey your whole life in
01:25:19.620
this business um but it's i'm at some level it's a very very secular business obviously of course i was
01:25:26.860
part of it oh yeah so like what do people you've known for all these years in the entertainment
01:25:32.520
business think of you now um a lot of them i don't talk to a lot anymore but the ones i still do
01:25:38.840
are 10 times stronger than they've ever been because they know what the truth is too you know
01:25:43.880
i was the definition of what you'd call prodigal son growing up with a dad like that and then at 18
01:25:49.040
19 years old i take off instead of going to college i go out start playing honky tonks all over the
01:25:53.180
united states can you imagine what my dad must have felt like that his underage son is playing in bars
01:25:58.060
all across the united states and then you come with you know these rocking hard party songs and all this
01:26:03.340
stuff and the songs are one thing but the lifestyle is something totally different when you go out and
01:26:07.600
actually live like the songs you're singing and doing those things i can only imagine how bad that
01:26:12.440
must have tore him up for a long time and at some point i remember um is that i got i got saved when
01:26:19.780
i was a kid with my dad but at one point in my life i had the feeling that i had i had i had bank
01:26:27.420
push back against what he wanted me to do for so long that he he stood up and walked out of the room
01:26:31.520
meaning god walked out of the room left me sitting there like abandoned is what the feeling felt
01:26:37.980
like and that was the most desolate feeling i've ever had and if you go reading psalms king david
01:26:43.460
talked about that a lot because king david had a king david had a uh a woman's husband killed uriah
01:26:49.700
had him killed and then took her and married her i mean that's pretty bad yeah it's about as bad as it
01:26:56.980
and then he got punished like you can't believe horrible things happened to david after that
01:27:01.120
including god left him sitting there all by himself for a long time and i think that's that's the way
01:27:06.100
he gets our attention is you you push back long enough he will get your attention if you're lucky
01:27:12.120
he'll let you survive it and we we just saw somebody survive something and i think our country's
01:27:18.000
going to survive it but i think it's going to be quite a thing when it happens soon feels like it
01:27:26.980
