Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The week in Bible Prophecy, a Prophecy Watchers Podcast. Welcome
- 0:07Speaker 1: to the podcast today, everybody. Mono Benzalez here in studio
- 0:10Speaker 1: with Tom Hughes. Welcome Tom. Great being here Mondo, and
- 0:13Speaker 1: we are here to discuss Tom's new book, Marking the Masses.
- 0:16Speaker 1: And so I think right here out of the gate,
- 0:20Speaker 1: you partnered up. Well, maybe you tell who did you
- 0:22Speaker 1: partner up with on this, and let's talk about that.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Brent Miller Jr. Ingenuity Films. And what happened was the
- 0:30Speaker 2: whole story.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Of how we got here as much as you want
- 0:33Speaker 1: to share.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Okay, I won't go with the whole story because it
- 0:35Speaker 2: takes too long. But he had read the first book
- 0:39Speaker 2: that I have on a plane and after he read it,
- 0:42Speaker 2: he contacted me. We'd already known each other. He said, Hey,
- 0:45Speaker 2: I want to do a project. I want to do
- 0:48Speaker 2: another book and maybe a documentary, and I really like
- 0:52Speaker 2: this book you wrote, and so let's talk. So I
- 0:56Speaker 2: say sure. So anyways, a few different things have happened
- 0:59Speaker 2: since that conversation that are still moving forward. But after
- 1:04Speaker 2: moving forward on the other projects, I had a conversation
- 1:09Speaker 2: with my dad. I recorded it and it was about
- 1:11Speaker 2: the tech industry, and it was going back to nineteen
- 1:16Speaker 2: sixty one with the company that he worked for. At
- 1:18Speaker 2: the time, I was only two years old and he
- 1:20Speaker 2: worked for a company called Teledyne, and I recorded the
- 1:23Speaker 2: conversation with my dad and I was at one of
- 1:26Speaker 2: the prophecy watchers' conferences and I was talking to Brent
- 1:28Speaker 2: and I said, hey, Brent, I think I can do
- 1:31Speaker 2: a book on this. If you're interested, I'll send you
- 1:34Speaker 2: the audio. And I do remember he looked at me like,
- 1:36Speaker 2: all right, yeah, sure, I'll take you and I said yeah,
- 1:39Speaker 2: and I said, no, I really do think you're going
- 1:41Speaker 2: to be interested. So I sent him the audio, and
- 1:45Speaker 2: I don't remember ever following up with him on it,
- 1:47Speaker 2: but eventually he came around and said, hey, I think
- 1:50Speaker 2: we need to do something with this, and so we did.
- 1:54Speaker 2: So I started working on it right away, and you know,
- 1:57Speaker 2: you and I we both talked about these types of
- 2:00Speaker 2: things all the time. And what I really wanted to
- 2:03Speaker 2: do was so I took messages I have had done,
- 2:05Speaker 2: but then I had to put a lot more depth
- 2:07Speaker 2: to it and give people an understanding seasoned prophecy people.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I wanted to take them to an understanding that most
- 2:16Speaker 2: of them have probably never really thought through yet as
- 2:18Speaker 2: we look at all the different things that are happening,
- 2:20Speaker 2: there's so many things happening in society, whether it be
- 2:23Speaker 2: here in America or in the globe, that they're happening
- 2:29Speaker 2: every day, new news every day. Well, how do you
- 2:32Speaker 2: connect all of the dots together and understand it according
- 2:36Speaker 2: to God's word? Because we know there is what God's
- 2:40Speaker 2: word tells us, we know what the endgame is. We
- 2:42Speaker 2: also know he tells us what to look for. So
- 2:45Speaker 2: really had to put a lot more thought than normal
- 2:48Speaker 2: into it and dig a little bit deeper, get some
- 2:51Speaker 2: research done. I did have a lot of help on it.
- 2:53Speaker 2: And this is how we got here today. You know.
- 2:58Speaker 1: You know for those listening, when we think about what
- 3:01Speaker 1: you just said, that the anchor is the scripture, and
- 3:04Speaker 1: the anchor is I think the prophetic framework that God
- 3:07Speaker 1: gives us. We have some we don't have all the details,
- 3:10Speaker 1: but we have a lot of details of how the book,
- 3:11Speaker 1: the Book of Relation, or at least to the seven
- 3:13Speaker 1: year Tribulation, is going to unfold. And really when when
- 3:17Speaker 1: you when you map it all out, one of the
- 3:20Speaker 1: main segments is the midpoint you have so many things happen.
- 3:24Speaker 1: You have the Abomination of desolation, you have the Antichrist,
- 3:28Speaker 1: you know, becoming wounded. But you also have right there
- 3:30Speaker 1: the Revelation twelve, the war in Heaven, and you know
- 3:34Speaker 1: Satan and he gets cast down, he knows his time
- 3:36Speaker 1: is short. But then right after this it's it's unlimited
- 3:39Speaker 1: power for Satan and the Antichrist, that Satanic trinity from
- 3:43Speaker 1: this in the second half. But at that, what I
- 3:46Speaker 1: think is good the way you organize the book, to me,
- 3:48Speaker 1: at least the way I roll with it is the
- 3:51Speaker 1: mark of marking the masses, you know that title, and
- 3:54Speaker 1: then recognizing, hey, everybody, this is what happens in the
- 3:58Speaker 1: midpoint or roughly, but how did we get here? And
- 4:03Speaker 1: so I think that's the power of this book is
- 4:06Speaker 1: is going backwards, kind of extrapolaining in reverse to what
- 4:10Speaker 1: we're recognizing. And again I say this all the time.
- 4:13Speaker 1: We don't go from Mayberry and the rapture happens, and
- 4:17Speaker 1: then the next day, all of a sudden, all these
- 4:19Speaker 1: things occur. There's so many layers that are bringing again
- 4:25Speaker 1: humanity up to this point that start way way way,
- 4:27Speaker 1: and as you show in the book, HG. Wells, going
- 4:30Speaker 1: all the way back into the eighteen hundreds. But what
- 4:33Speaker 1: I want to do now is we're going to take
- 4:34Speaker 1: a little break because I want you to at least
- 4:37Speaker 1: hear the trailer. People go online. Do you have a
- 4:39Speaker 1: website for the book?
- 4:41Speaker 2: Marking themasses dot com?
- 4:42Speaker 1: It's super easy. But if you're just driving and you
- 4:45Speaker 1: want to hear it, I want to just let you
- 4:46Speaker 1: hear the trailer because it's extremely well done.
- 4:55Speaker 2: I had a conversation with my dad. He used to
- 4:58Speaker 2: work for a company called Teledyne back in the early
- 5:00Speaker 2: nineteen sixties, and he was invited to a party in
- 5:06Speaker 2: the Hollywood Hills. He said, all the big wigs were there,
- 5:11Speaker 2: Henry Singleton and so forth. And he said an individual
- 5:16Speaker 2: showed up and they're standing in the backyard looking into
- 5:19Speaker 2: the city of Los Angeles. We see all these lights
- 5:25Speaker 2: in the city out there and all the people that
- 5:27Speaker 2: are out there. Someday we're going to be able to
- 5:32Speaker 2: control everyone. And he wasn't referring to just Los Angeles.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Everybody is going to be identified. It's called the mark
- 5:41Speaker 2: of the Beasts. Choosing the mark is really choosing to
- 5:47Speaker 2: either live or die. There's no escape from.
- 5:52Speaker 1: The system available in paperback in the book, get your
- 5:58Speaker 1: copy today. Okay, So obviously the trailer is great, it's
- 6:06Speaker 1: well done. Let's kind of jump in. You've you've organized
- 6:09Speaker 1: the book into you know, eight different parts. Right in
- 6:12Speaker 1: the beginning. Give us a little bit about the background.
- 6:17Speaker 1: What do we know, what's the anchor here, what do
- 6:20Speaker 1: we see that's going to be happening in that tribulation?
- 6:23Speaker 1: A little bit more depth, and then and kind of
- 6:25Speaker 1: bring it back to us.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Uh, well, we do know in the middle of the
- 6:29Speaker 2: tribulation we've got the mark of the beast, so we
- 6:33Speaker 2: have hence the book title marking the Masses. Technology is involved,
- 6:37Speaker 2: but it's not just technology. So in order to get
- 6:41Speaker 2: the book to where it is and get people to understand, really,
- 6:45Speaker 2: what I did was reverse engineering if you look at
- 6:48Speaker 2: it that way, like you said, going back in history.
- 6:51Speaker 2: When you go back in history, you can and then
- 6:53Speaker 2: you start working through the centuries, you realize, oh wow,
- 6:58Speaker 2: and you do get the wow factor because it all
- 7:00Speaker 2: begins to make sense. It didn't just start in nineteen
- 7:04Speaker 2: sixty one the conversation with than my dad had. Yeah,
- 7:08Speaker 2: that was technology and the technology that we have today
- 7:11Speaker 2: and everything is put together there for us to see that.
- 7:14Speaker 2: But there's so much more eighteen forty four, Samuel Morse
- 7:18Speaker 2: Morse code H G. Wells was I'm telling you that
- 7:23Speaker 2: guy's used by the devil. He really to influence where
- 7:26Speaker 2: we are today. The Klaus Schwabs, the Kissingers.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Well and the way that you wrote it. I mean,
- 7:31Speaker 1: if you look at the philosophy, let's go back to
- 7:34Speaker 1: Blovotsky and the Theosophy Society, even some of the other
- 7:42Speaker 1: again I would say enlightenment philosophies that happened. But here HG. Wells,
- 7:47Speaker 1: he writes this book. He's rumming from a Darwinist, from
- 7:50Speaker 1: a humanist perspective, and what he writes is like a
- 7:54Speaker 1: modern from that point forward, is like a modern playbook guidebook.
- 7:58Speaker 1: This is how this is what we're after in the
- 8:00Speaker 1: long term, and this is how you get.
- 8:02Speaker 2: There absolutely in fact, even with an understanding of technology.
- 8:08Speaker 2: So he really it's like he put together, well you said,
- 8:10Speaker 2: the playbook. It's like, here's your instructions on what you
- 8:13Speaker 2: need to do, and you listen to the global leaders.
- 8:16Speaker 2: You listen to you know, Klaus Schwab has his Young
- 8:19Speaker 2: College of Global Leaders or whatever they're called right, been
- 8:23Speaker 2: going on for decades now, and you look at that,
- 8:26Speaker 2: what do we have. We have governors, we have mayors,
- 8:28Speaker 2: we have leaders of countries that have been through that.
- 8:32Speaker 2: I'm convinced it is the thoughts of H. G. Wells
- 8:36Speaker 2: that they used as their instruction manual for how are
- 8:40Speaker 2: we going to achieve the things that we need to
- 8:42Speaker 2: do in order for an elite group of people to
- 8:45Speaker 2: be able to control the masses of the world. You know,
- 8:48Speaker 2: I have a lot of quotes in the book and
- 8:50Speaker 2: looking at the fact that H. G. Wells and other
- 8:54Speaker 2: elites of his time, and especially now we really see it,
- 8:58Speaker 2: they believe that they're the only ones they're smart enough
- 9:01Speaker 2: to be able to save the planet. The rest of
- 9:05Speaker 2: us know, we're just going to cause problems for them,
- 9:09Speaker 2: where as you've all know horisis we're useless eaters. You know,
- 9:12Speaker 2: you start looking at all of this, but you put
- 9:14Speaker 2: it all together and you realize so many factors are
- 9:18Speaker 2: involved in it, and uh, from climate laws, and then
- 9:23Speaker 2: I would say the wokeism, Uh definitely. You know, it's
- 9:27Speaker 2: this religious system that's being built and as you said,
- 9:30Speaker 2: it's not like we're Mayberry. And then all of a
- 9:33Speaker 2: sudden the rapture takes place and everybody just says, let
- 9:35Speaker 2: me sign up for the market of the being. No,
- 9:38Speaker 2: it's a process. We are experiencing that process right now.
- 9:43Speaker 2: And this the book really is intended to help the
- 9:47Speaker 2: Christian understand what's going on. And when we understand it
- 9:51Speaker 2: and we understand why from a biblical perspective, it's going
- 9:54Speaker 2: to strengthen everybody who reads it. It'll strengthen their faith.
- 9:57Speaker 2: They'll get it and the lawso gonna they're going to
- 9:59Speaker 2: understand some something else. Man, I need to get this
- 10:02Speaker 2: message to others, the message of the Gospel of the
- 10:04Speaker 2: Hope of the Lord Jesus Christ, which you know, we
- 10:07Speaker 2: also include in the book because I believe that people
- 10:10Speaker 2: who don't know the Lord will be really they'll get
- 10:14Speaker 2: their questions answered.
- 10:15Speaker 1: To you exactly, because when we look around, I think
- 10:19Speaker 1: in terms of you know, we have the scripture, we
- 10:23Speaker 1: have this framework that again we don't know all the details,
- 10:27Speaker 1: but the framework just helps us to be discerning. I
- 10:31Speaker 1: was talking to my daughter yesterday and we were talking
- 10:33Speaker 1: about discernment, and she says, well, what's the what's the
- 10:36Speaker 1: definition of discernment? Because she said, do you think I
- 10:39Speaker 1: have discernment, and I said, I love you. But no,
- 10:43Speaker 1: she wasn't offended because she's too sweet, she's innocent, and
- 10:46Speaker 1: she's relatively trusting. And I said, there's a certain level
- 10:49Speaker 1: of cynicism that in our world today where no, if
- 10:53Speaker 1: the government says something, my default is to distrust it automatically.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Why well, because they're human, and so we learned from
- 11:00Speaker 1: the history of humanity that generally speaking, governments shouldn't be
- 11:04Speaker 1: trusted because of what they do. But when we think
- 11:07Speaker 1: about deception, I said, I said, well, well, scripturally, the
- 11:12Speaker 1: more you know about the word, the more you're going
- 11:14Speaker 1: to be able to see false teaching. You know, the
- 11:16Speaker 1: doctrines and demons. Okay, I said, So, I said discernment.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I would say eighty percent of discernment comes by how
- 11:22Speaker 1: thorough you are in understanding true doctrine. I said, But
- 11:25Speaker 1: the other one is a spiritual gift. You can have
- 11:27Speaker 1: some people that maybe they're not theologians, whatever, but they
- 11:30Speaker 1: have a gift of discernment. They just go no, you know,
- 11:33Speaker 1: the spirit as they're working in their heart. So I said,
- 11:35Speaker 1: you know, for her, she's a very studious person. But
- 11:38Speaker 1: I go to me, you got to be more cynical
- 11:40Speaker 1: in one says, in one sense, because the heart of
- 11:43Speaker 1: man is deceitful, it's incurably wicked. Jeremiah seventeen nine. I said,
- 11:47Speaker 1: so as we as we look out, we come to
- 11:49Speaker 1: this point and going, especially the world to me, it's
- 11:53Speaker 1: first John two, first Jon four. If the world says
- 11:56Speaker 1: go this way in unity, automatically, I'm going to I'm
- 12:00Speaker 1: not going that way. Yeah, because the world speaks and
- 12:02Speaker 1: they listen to themselves. And who's the leader of the world,
- 12:05Speaker 1: Who's the ruler of this world in that sense.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Yeah, the prince of the power of the air and
- 12:08Speaker 2: the air waves exactly, the god of this world, the
- 12:12Speaker 2: devil himself is so and you see the masses going
- 12:16Speaker 2: in a particular direction. And the young people have a
- 12:21Speaker 2: real challenge with this because they automatically trust adults, school teachers, administrators.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I'm not saying all school teachers are bad. I have
- 12:32Speaker 2: some friends in public school systems that are wonderful. They
- 12:35Speaker 2: love the Lord. Not saying that, but we can see
- 12:37Speaker 2: what's happened in every aspect of society as these evil
- 12:42Speaker 2: people have crept in and they're manipulating the people. The
- 12:47Speaker 2: masses of people, young people especially, because they trust they
- 12:50Speaker 2: trust the adult, they trust the person that's an authority,
- 12:54Speaker 2: and the last few years of wokeism has eliminated the
- 13:00Speaker 2: ability for critical thinking, and so it's no longer that
- 13:06Speaker 2: they're just told what to do. And it's happening in
- 13:08Speaker 2: every school. I had a friend from Israel. It's an idea,
- 13:12Speaker 2: and he said to me when I was over there
- 13:15Speaker 2: back in May. He said, Hey, the stuff I'm hearing about,
- 13:19Speaker 2: He goes, that's only like in certain areas, right, and
- 13:22Speaker 2: equating it to when you hear news you think you
- 13:26Speaker 2: think it's everywhere you find out, No, it's only isolated
- 13:28Speaker 2: to a particular area. Like somebody I live in California,
- 13:33Speaker 2: when my friend's back east, here's about an earthquake in California. Well,
- 13:36Speaker 2: that earthquake was four hundred miles away. We're okay, we
- 13:39Speaker 2: didn't experience any of it. Riots in Los Angeles and
- 13:42Speaker 2: I'm not near that. You know that kind of thing. No,
- 13:45Speaker 2: But I said, in this case, David, I said, no,
- 13:47Speaker 2: it's happening in every single school district throughout the country.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Some are pushing back, it's the whole country is infected
- 13:54Speaker 2: by this wokism. Is anti Christian at its core, everything
- 14:00Speaker 2: that is against Christ family, everything that God is great.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Even when you look at the to save the world,
- 14:07Speaker 2: well you got to eat bugs. You can't eat meat anymore,
- 14:10Speaker 2: you got to kill all the cows. Well, what's for
- 14:12Speaker 2: Timothy chapter four forbidding to eat meat? Forbidding to eat
- 14:18Speaker 2: food that is fit for human consumption, designed by God
- 14:21Speaker 2: to be received with thanksgiving. And in fact, in First
- 14:24Speaker 2: Timothy chapter four it even says verse one, in the
- 14:27Speaker 2: latter times, So we can take what is happening right now,
- 14:31Speaker 2: doctrines of demons, deceiving spirits, teaching lies in hypocrisy, commanding
- 14:36Speaker 2: that you don't marry forbidding that you eat meat. Next
- 14:39Speaker 2: it is it's coming very, very very soon. Because of that,
- 14:43Speaker 2: we have a placeholder for what we are experiencing right now.
- 14:46Speaker 2: For Timothy chapter four tells us in the latter time,
- 14:49Speaker 2: So we know we are very late in that hour,
- 14:52Speaker 2: but we also know we occupy until he comes. We
- 14:56Speaker 2: have the answer, and we can help people to understand
- 15:00Speaker 2: and also to turn them to the hope that we
- 15:03Speaker 2: have in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, as we as we think about and
- 15:09Speaker 1: you do this in the book. Let's talk about the
- 15:13Speaker 1: other code word that appears within wokeism, and that is
- 15:19Speaker 1: follow the science. Because to me C. S. Lewis, you know,
- 15:24Speaker 1: not in many of his writings, but you know, I've
- 15:26Speaker 1: done a lot for the Screwtape letters, and even there
- 15:29Speaker 1: in the seventh letter he talks about mythologizing their science,
- 15:34Speaker 1: and this is in nineteen forty one. It's amazing that
- 15:36Speaker 1: the stuff that he did there and in my research
- 15:39Speaker 1: for that book, talking about how you mythologize, you elevate
- 15:45Speaker 1: science itself to be this worshipful type of authority figure
- 15:51Speaker 1: where it cannot be question. It's like, you know, you
- 15:53Speaker 1: know what God says, go left, Okay, yes sir, he
- 15:56Speaker 1: you're the boss. That's what we do. We just say yes,
- 15:58Speaker 1: hopefully we're obedient. But in this case science Now he
- 16:04Speaker 1: talks there about jargon and about the way that you
- 16:06Speaker 1: can change words. So science generally is defined as empirical, right,
- 16:11Speaker 1: we're doing tests by definition, we start out with a hypothesis,
- 16:14Speaker 1: We do a test, and we question that very nature
- 16:18Speaker 1: of science is questioning the current data you have based
- 16:22Speaker 1: on potentially new data. But it's interesting that I liked
- 16:26Speaker 1: how you did it in the book where you talked
- 16:28Speaker 1: about Fauci as an example, and at first he gave
- 16:32Speaker 1: a very good definition of science, that things should touch
- 16:35Speaker 1: the way science works. You questioned it. But then later
- 16:38Speaker 1: when he was questioned, he personified himself as science the
- 16:44Speaker 1: definition of science. Like if you questioned me, you're questioning science,
- 16:48Speaker 1: talk about that.
- 16:49Speaker 2: How dare you do such a thing? Huh, I'm convinced
- 16:52Speaker 2: behind it. As money, I'm absolutely all the money. But
- 16:56Speaker 2: so we can really see it over the last three
- 16:59Speaker 2: and a half years, follow the science. So science, yeah,
- 17:02Speaker 2: you you question, You should be allowed to ask questions.
- 17:06Speaker 2: You gotta ask questions. But what's happened is it's a
- 17:11Speaker 2: popularized science and a politicized science. Right, So the popular
- 17:16Speaker 2: science is let's break it into bullet points and sound
- 17:20Speaker 2: bites that the masses of people will be able to
- 17:23Speaker 2: understand what we want them to understand. We are really
- 17:27Speaker 2: seeing it right now with all the climate things. What's popular.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Let's make let's make our narrative popular. But really it's politicized.
- 17:36Speaker 2: So there's a message that is being sold to the
- 17:39Speaker 2: masses of the people. Hence, let's break this message down.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Let's give it a particular spin we want. We have
- 17:46Speaker 2: to package it in a way that it will be popular,
- 17:49Speaker 2: that people will be able to easily understand it and
- 17:52Speaker 2: grasp it and be able to tell other people about it.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Like a pop song. It's like that. It speaks to
- 18:01Speaker 2: the people's emotions. And then their neighbor says, yes, we
- 18:07Speaker 2: believe the science. You cannot question it. And the last
- 18:11Speaker 2: three and a half years of anybody who questioned the faucies,
- 18:16Speaker 2: the doctors who were experts in the votes the real experts. Right,
- 18:22Speaker 2: you start looking at him and you realize you have
- 18:26Speaker 2: doctor Murcola, and I think it's a Peter McCullough. So
- 18:31Speaker 2: you have these different doctors. I have a friend that
- 18:34Speaker 2: was a doctor with a particular organization. He asked me
- 18:37Speaker 2: not to use his name because he's in a lawsuit
- 18:40Speaker 2: right now against his medical former employer, which is I
- 18:46Speaker 2: think the largest one in the country. And he said,
- 18:51Speaker 2: I was trained through all through medical school to smell
- 18:55Speaker 2: a rat. And he goes, I'm telling you this thing
- 18:58Speaker 2: is a rat, and then he would give me all
- 18:59Speaker 2: the different stats and everything it still does about what's happening. Well,
- 19:04Speaker 2: he knew he was going to lose his job. He goes,
- 19:08Speaker 2: I'm okay with it because I was close to retirement. Anyways,
- 19:11Speaker 2: he goes, there's a lot of young people, young nurses
- 19:13Speaker 2: and doctors that they've stayed in it because they felt
- 19:17Speaker 2: like they still needed a job. And he goes, I
- 19:20Speaker 2: feel really bad for some of them. But the problem
- 19:22Speaker 2: is they fired everybody that would not that question, that
- 19:28Speaker 2: would not conform, that questioned the science. Yep, just like
- 19:32Speaker 2: we do, right, we're censored. So we have to say
- 19:35Speaker 2: where can we give these messages? And so you pick
- 19:40Speaker 2: and choose where you can say things where you can't.
- 19:42Speaker 2: You're censored just for questioning the science. So I get
- 19:45Speaker 2: into the science and the well.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Even showing what the couple quotes, I saw it in
- 19:49Speaker 1: real life. But to see the quotes too is helpful
- 19:51Speaker 1: that you know. Fauci started off originally absolutely nobody needs
- 19:56Speaker 1: to wear a mask. We need to save those masks
- 19:57Speaker 1: and the health if masks don't do anything unless you're
- 19:59Speaker 1: wearing an ninety five. And then all of a sudden,
- 20:02Speaker 1: you know, six months later, he's triple masking, and you're like,
- 20:07Speaker 1: I thought you said these things didn't work. Yeah, and
- 20:09Speaker 1: so this is where you have you know, again, I'm
- 20:12Speaker 1: into astronomy, so I think if I go out and
- 20:15Speaker 1: maybe going to teach an astronomy club or whatever, I'm
- 20:18Speaker 1: not going to use my textbook from college in the
- 20:23Speaker 1: year two thousand and one. I'm going to get the
- 20:25Speaker 1: latest and greatest because there's especially with all the technology
- 20:28Speaker 1: we know a lot more, we're not going to go
- 20:30Speaker 1: on those old models. I mean, some of them are
- 20:32Speaker 1: still there, but some of them modified, some have been
- 20:34Speaker 1: completely cast out. So in this sense, you know, science
- 20:38Speaker 1: by definition is automatically changing. And so when people they
- 20:42Speaker 1: try to beat you down, and of course they do
- 20:46Speaker 1: it again with the censorship or the shaming. That's the
- 20:49Speaker 1: other thing is we see labeling, throwing names at you, well,
- 20:54Speaker 1: you're unscientific, as if what I don't want to be unscientific,
- 20:57Speaker 1: Like that's the worst sin in the world, to be unscientific,
- 21:01Speaker 1: when in reality, those that are questioning are the ones
- 21:04Speaker 1: that are the real pursuers of knowledge.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Yeah, so if you're not following their science, their science,
- 21:11Speaker 2: you're your problem for society. But we in it we
- 21:13Speaker 2: see the marginalization of people. Anybody who questions authority, what's
- 21:18Speaker 2: the authority is their authority? Whatever they say so we
- 21:22Speaker 2: can see the technocrats, we can see the whole building
- 21:25Speaker 2: of the system. They only want one voice, just like
- 21:28Speaker 2: Joseph Garribols for Hitler. One voice was going to be allowed,
- 21:31Speaker 2: whatever the Nazi voice was. That was that nothing else
- 21:36Speaker 2: was allowed. Whether you are a pastor or a school
- 21:38Speaker 2: teacher or a doctor or whatever, you were not allowed
- 21:43Speaker 2: to say anything that did not agree with.
- 21:45Speaker 1: The government narrative.
- 21:46Speaker 2: The government narrative. That is exactly what's happening now. Hence,
- 21:51Speaker 2: let's close down churches. How is it that with COVID,
- 21:55Speaker 2: churches were told they weren't essential, but liquor store and
- 22:00Speaker 2: strip clubs were. You know, those got to stay open,
- 22:04Speaker 2: but close the churches. It's because of the narrative, and
- 22:07Speaker 2: not only that it was so effective that so many
- 22:12Speaker 2: churches were exposed for what they really were. I mean,
- 22:16Speaker 2: how much we've seen wokeism. You know, wocism isn't just
- 22:19Speaker 2: people think it's just gender. No, it isn't. Wocism was
- 22:22Speaker 2: around the gender talk really got legs over the last year.
- 22:26Speaker 2: You go back into everything else that that they've been
- 22:30Speaker 2: telling us about and you find out, no, wocism is
- 22:33Speaker 2: all part of it, and there's pastors that totally just
- 22:38Speaker 2: capitulated to the entire narrative, and where people like us
- 22:44Speaker 2: were threatened by other pastors, well, how could you keep
- 22:47Speaker 2: your church open. We're closing our church.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Let's let's hold in on that. Because not only were
- 22:53Speaker 1: were their external pressures, you know, from local governments depending
- 22:56Speaker 1: like I lived in Nevada at the time, and our
- 22:59Speaker 1: particular sheriff, because they're elected. Our governor was more liberal
- 23:06Speaker 1: and was trying to be like Newsome. He doesn't want
- 23:09Speaker 1: to be Newsome because we're right on the border. But
- 23:12Speaker 1: our local sheriff said, I'm here to defend your constitutional rights,
- 23:17Speaker 1: and which is right to gather, freedom of association, right speech.
- 23:22Speaker 1: You know, he goes, I'm not enforcing any of that.
- 23:25Speaker 1: So for us, we had relative freedom, but for others
- 23:29Speaker 1: there was the external pressure. You I'm thinking about MacArthur,
- 23:32Speaker 1: John MacArthur and all the with the health Department, like
- 23:34Speaker 1: they had any authority to do anything anyway, but they
- 23:36Speaker 1: came in finds all these other things. But so you
- 23:39Speaker 1: have these external pressures where you take the average Christian.
- 23:43Speaker 1: The average Christian generally is nice. They generally are a
- 23:47Speaker 1: god abiding citizen. You know, they love God, they love
- 23:50Speaker 1: their so for them, they were like, I don't want
- 23:54Speaker 1: to be at odds with the government or the local officials.
- 23:57Speaker 1: But then what I saw from the internal side was
- 24:02Speaker 1: or the internal people. So now that you said you
- 24:06Speaker 1: get letters from I got letters from people who were angry,
- 24:10Speaker 1: that were calling, you know, potentially calling names. You're killing people,
- 24:15Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, and tell me, maybe unofficially, but you
- 24:19Speaker 1: know we're being recorded. But I found that there oftentimes
- 24:26Speaker 1: you could really understand more just by understanding people's political affiliations.
- 24:31Speaker 1: And I was like, I didn't realize that they were
- 24:33Speaker 1: more liberal in their mind, because you know, you have
- 24:35Speaker 1: people you teach them every week and you're teaching like,
- 24:37Speaker 1: you know, straight scripture, and I would expect a little
- 24:41Speaker 1: bit more resistance to the word of God. But then
- 24:44Speaker 1: when these things came out, I was like, oh, and
- 24:47Speaker 1: they go, oh, you didn't know that they were this,
- 24:48Speaker 1: And I go no, And then they were gone because
- 24:54Speaker 1: they wanted to obey the government at all costs. And
- 24:57Speaker 1: again that what I saw. Sadly. Hebrews chapter two, verse fourteen,
- 25:02Speaker 1: Satan is the one that pedals in fear, the fear,
- 25:05Speaker 1: especially those who would be fear of death. That he
- 25:07Speaker 1: keeps people in bondage. Many of them Christians would the
- 25:12Speaker 1: worst thing that could ever happen was that they would die.
- 25:14Speaker 1: And I go, well, why are you why are you
- 25:17Speaker 1: worried about that? I mean, don't you know where you're going?
- 25:19Speaker 1: Paul says, you know, to die is gain. So it's
- 25:21Speaker 1: interesting how much fear paralyzed them that they wouldn't come
- 25:24Speaker 1: to church and masks they were in their cars, nobody's
- 25:28Speaker 1: in there with them still masked. It was just it
- 25:30Speaker 1: was kind of a strange phenomenon.
- 25:32Speaker 2: I also believe we are witnessing a separation of the
- 25:36Speaker 2: wheat from the tears. And so the problem is people
- 25:43Speaker 2: just if you really believe the Bible, you know, people's
- 25:47Speaker 2: churchgoers where the Bible. So will say, well, of course
- 25:50Speaker 2: I believe the Bible until they're tested, you know, And
- 25:53Speaker 2: that's really where the proof is made. The evidence is
- 25:57Speaker 2: there of what's really going on. And I'm not saying
- 26:00Speaker 2: people who stopped coming to church, all the people stop
- 26:02Speaker 2: coming to church aren't saved. However, there's a test and
- 26:07Speaker 2: it's understanding, Hey, how did you know is God trying
- 26:11Speaker 2: to get a hold of my my heart? Is a
- 26:14Speaker 2: hold of my mind. Am I not as strong as
- 26:16Speaker 2: a Christian as I thought I was. That should be
- 26:18Speaker 2: a question that what price. I'm more worried about saving
- 26:22Speaker 2: my own life, like job and Satan right skin for
- 26:25Speaker 2: skin man will do anything to save his life. And
- 26:28Speaker 2: then you you look at shad wreck me, shack in
- 26:32Speaker 2: a bed to go what happens? They're threatened with being
- 26:35Speaker 2: thrown in the fire. We will not bow to conform.
- 26:40Speaker 2: We're not going to conform. Now you're gonna tell me
- 26:42Speaker 2: I can't go to church. In the state of California,
- 26:45Speaker 2: the governor said, hey, you're okay, you can go back
- 26:48Speaker 2: to church, but you can't sing. I made sure our
- 26:51Speaker 2: church sang louder that Sunday than they ever did before. Well,
- 26:55Speaker 2: here's something else. We also in the county we are
- 26:58Speaker 2: in California. Great Sheriff Chad Bianco, he same way I am.
- 27:04Speaker 2: There's no way we're gonna We have sheriff that deputies
- 27:07Speaker 2: that are part of our church. Right, they were going
- 27:09Speaker 2: to enforce it, but still the majority of churches capitulated,
- 27:12Speaker 2: they're still closed. Even though the sheriff said, no, this
- 27:15Speaker 2: is you can see the facts. You could you know,
- 27:18Speaker 2: you knew everybody that was calling out and questioning the science.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Millions and millions of dead and didn't happen.
- 27:24Speaker 2: It never never happened. But what happened is it's other
- 27:28Speaker 2: church people against other church people were pitted against each other.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Satan was very effective. He separated people and some people
- 27:37Speaker 2: as we watch the polls, what do people really believe
- 27:40Speaker 2: about the afterlife? What do they believe about the Bible?
- 27:43Speaker 2: We can see the numbers have plummeted. You know, people say, well,
- 27:46Speaker 2: if I stay home, I'll read my Bible more. No,
- 27:48Speaker 2: that's not what happens, because when you're separated from uh,
- 27:53Speaker 2: the the fellowship together, where two or three are gathering
- 27:56Speaker 2: in my name, I am there with them. And I'm
- 27:58Speaker 2: not talking about the shut ins and people who can't
- 28:00Speaker 2: get to a church because a lot of people online
- 28:02Speaker 2: that's the reality of it. They can't or they're in
- 28:05Speaker 2: an area where there isn't The only churches that are
- 28:08Speaker 2: in their area are woke exactly. So it's not that
- 28:12Speaker 2: it's the people who can get to a church, that
- 28:14Speaker 2: it's a Bible teaching church that are making excuses to
- 28:18Speaker 2: not go. We need each other, We encourage one another,
- 28:22Speaker 2: and all the more as we see the day approaching,
- 28:24Speaker 2: as Hebrews chapter ten tells, So we're supposed to be
- 28:28Speaker 2: doing that, but there's a separation that's going on, and
- 28:33Speaker 2: we can see certain people that are actually stronger in
- 28:36Speaker 2: their faith than they ever were before, bolder than they
- 28:39Speaker 2: ever were. God is getting a hold of the atheist
- 28:42Speaker 2: the agnostic because they know something's wrong and they found
- 28:46Speaker 2: out the Bible actually does have answers. But what's interesting
- 28:50Speaker 2: Mondo in if you look back in the history of
- 28:53Speaker 2: the world or just the history of the Church, it's
- 28:56Speaker 2: you have not just the secular society that came against
- 29:01Speaker 2: and started persecuting Christians, like the Romans, well, the apostle
- 29:05Speaker 2: Paul before he was Paul, he was sol the persecutor.
- 29:08Speaker 2: And you find out through church history it's been this way.
- 29:11Speaker 2: What happened to during the Protestant Reformation and the people
- 29:18Speaker 2: that Tyndale. You start looking at the people that were martyred,
- 29:21Speaker 2: who are they martyred by the church? Not the Protestant Church,
- 29:25Speaker 2: but the church at that time that had the authority.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Throughout history, it's been that way. You have the Pharisees
- 29:32Speaker 2: and Sadducees. The Pharisees were very religious the Sadducees were not,
- 29:38Speaker 2: But guess what they both agreed to get rid of Jesus.
- 29:41Speaker 2: And you look at it and you go, wow, what's happened.
- 29:46Speaker 2: What has effectively happened also with the shaping and conditioning
- 29:49Speaker 2: of culture, is now people are willing to turn into neighbor.
- 29:53Speaker 2: People might say I would never do that, Well, it
- 29:55Speaker 2: just happened. We just lived through it from a whole
- 29:58Speaker 2: bunch of people that said I would never turn in
- 29:59Speaker 2: my neighbor. How could people believe that kind of thing
- 30:03Speaker 2: in Nazi Germany? Well, guess what we're seeing people. How
- 30:06Speaker 2: many people that were famous said hey, this person won't
- 30:10Speaker 2: get the shot. They should all be dead because it
- 30:13Speaker 2: is all the conditioning process, and we're going further and
- 30:16Speaker 2: further down this road. The enemy is not going to stop. No,
- 30:20Speaker 2: he's moving forward, and he's coming at us from all
- 30:24Speaker 2: different angles. Gender confusion, climate laws. Listen, the climate lockdowns
- 30:29Speaker 2: are coming. They're all part of this, this whole woken
- 30:34Speaker 2: stuff like that. Fifteen minute cities and I also am
- 30:37Speaker 2: convinced mondol fifteen minute cities are going to be an
- 30:39Speaker 2: easy cell. And in a sense they're kind of like
- 30:45Speaker 2: I like to go for vacation down in Mexico, and people,
- 30:51Speaker 2: why do you go down to Mexico. I like Mexico
- 30:53Speaker 2: for one thing. I love the weather, but I like it,
- 30:56Speaker 2: and I like Mexican food, and I like the culture
- 30:58Speaker 2: and everything. Yeah, were wonderful. But people say it's dangerous
- 31:03Speaker 2: down there. Well, it's a lot more dangerous in Los Angeles,
- 31:05Speaker 2: let me tell you, or Chicago or New York or
- 31:08Speaker 2: any of these. So, but there we go through a
- 31:11Speaker 2: nice resort and there's it's got big walls, it has
- 31:16Speaker 2: guard compound. It's yeah, but it's beautiful. There's golf courses
- 31:19Speaker 2: and swimming pools, and restaurants and grocery store. There's it's
- 31:24Speaker 2: everything you need. Outside the walls is the weeping and
- 31:28Speaker 2: nashing of tea. Inside it's great and you like it.
- 31:32Speaker 2: And you start looking at just areas that are for
- 31:38Speaker 2: retirement living there. They're wonderful. So they're going to be
- 31:42Speaker 2: an easier sell because people are going to be told
- 31:45Speaker 2: by the government it's going to be an electronic fifteen
- 31:48Speaker 2: minute city. But it's for your safety, your peace. We'll
- 31:52Speaker 2: be able to keep the bad elements will get arrested. Well,
- 31:55Speaker 2: at that time, you and I are going to be
- 31:57Speaker 2: named as the bad elements, so will be. It's a conditioning.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Our minds have already been shaped to go that direction.
- 32:04Speaker 2: We go, Yeah, I get it. My mom and dad
- 32:06Speaker 2: lived in a retirement community. It was wonderful. Well, this
- 32:10Speaker 2: retirement community is coming in the fifteen minute. Cities ain't
- 32:12Speaker 2: gonna be like that. No, it'll be controlling, and it
- 32:15Speaker 2: will be devastating to anybody who resists this narrative.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, when you think about the going back
- 32:26Speaker 1: to Nazi Germany, it's interesting to me that oftentimes, and
- 32:32Speaker 1: this could be for anybody, but what we see in
- 32:35Speaker 1: the in the educational system is that they're not teaching
- 32:40Speaker 1: a lot of young people just history, of course, because
- 32:43Speaker 1: it's not you know, those who know history are going
- 32:45Speaker 1: to learn from it or you're doomed to repeat it, right,
- 32:47Speaker 1: the typical phrase. But when you see the censorship or
- 32:51Speaker 1: in the indoctrination that you had in Nazi Germany. They
- 32:54Speaker 1: were able to control the media, that's the first thing
- 32:55Speaker 1: they did. They sought to control the churches, and as
- 32:59Speaker 1: you mentioned, they had the young the young person's you
- 33:03Speaker 1: know group, but they knew we have to reach the
- 33:06Speaker 1: young people, and so in my own I got three daughters,
- 33:10Speaker 1: all in their you know, or early to mid twenties.
- 33:13Speaker 1: But I feel bad because, even as you described in
- 33:16Speaker 1: the book, the those that are eighteen and under, eighteen
- 33:20Speaker 1: and twenty four fifty seven percent suicide, you know, thoughts
- 33:24Speaker 1: and other things, because again, where are they getting their information?
- 33:28Speaker 1: I feel bad for them because you know, they've been
- 33:30Speaker 1: born with a smartphone in their hand. They've been born
- 33:34Speaker 1: with you know, Marvel, you know, movies and other things,
- 33:38Speaker 1: all the all the different media. And if you ask somebody,
- 33:42Speaker 1: well why do you believe that, Well, they just heard
- 33:45Speaker 1: it for eight hours or ten hours, or I mean,
- 33:46Speaker 1: how long is a young person on their phone and
- 33:49Speaker 1: it's not And maybe they're listening to the Bible. That
- 33:51Speaker 1: would be great, wouldn't it being filled with the scripture?
- 33:53Speaker 1: But for the most part, they're being indoctrinated by worldly thinking.
- 33:57Speaker 1: And and of course, when you think about the gender
- 34:00Speaker 1: dysph you that why is it that it was Brown
- 34:03Speaker 1: University just reat and you probably saw that it was
- 34:05Speaker 1: forty percent of the of the of the or thirty
- 34:08Speaker 1: to forty percent identified as being non you know, straight,
- 34:14Speaker 1: I guess, well, how did they get there? Because a
- 34:17Speaker 1: lot of them are alone. A lot of them are lonely.
- 34:19Speaker 1: So what do you do? You find somebody? If you
- 34:22Speaker 1: didn't have social media, you might not find a friend.
- 34:24Speaker 1: But there, all of a sudden, now you're included. They're
- 34:26Speaker 1: automatically celebrated. I mean, it's a matter of taking advantage
- 34:31Speaker 1: of people's loneliness and sadness and other things. But you
- 34:37Speaker 1: do it in a way that dishonors God goes away
- 34:40Speaker 1: from biology. But what I feel bad because they have
- 34:43Speaker 1: no other opportunity except to learn this from that. So
- 34:48Speaker 1: why would we expect So when you fast forward to
- 34:50Speaker 1: getting the market the masses, Oh what do I got
- 34:52Speaker 1: to do? It's the total sheet mentality.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you look at what's happened to the family
- 34:58Speaker 2: in the Western world. Totally destroyed, and it's been attacked
- 35:03Speaker 2: for a long time. A family, heterosexual, mom and dad,
- 35:07Speaker 2: kids at home, raise them in the church, you know,
- 35:10Speaker 2: and so forth right, that's been destroyed. It's been attacked
- 35:13Speaker 2: through media, through Hollywood for a long time. Divorces really high. Well,
- 35:18Speaker 2: what happens to the children is everything you're describing. They're
- 35:24Speaker 2: devastated and you are lonely, you know, and you look
- 35:28Speaker 2: at the foster care system. What happens to all those kids?
- 35:31Speaker 2: And you realize, hey, if you break up the family,
- 35:35Speaker 2: these kids, we've got them isolated now the devil right, yep,
- 35:39Speaker 2: it's got a isolated now. They send them off to school.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Guess what, there's a group for you. And this group
- 35:43Speaker 2: is full of a whole bunch of people who are
- 35:45Speaker 2: confused and everything is that they're accepted, their love, they're
- 35:49Speaker 2: feeling all these things. It's terrible. This is the reason
- 35:52Speaker 2: why we need to do what we can to minister
- 35:57Speaker 2: the hope that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I guarantee you we know that after the rapture, during
- 36:03Speaker 2: the tribulation, that there are people that are going to
- 36:05Speaker 2: be saved, every tribe, nation, tongue and people. The biggest
- 36:09Speaker 2: turning to Christ in the history of the world will
- 36:11Speaker 2: happen during the tribulation. But also it's going to be
- 36:13Speaker 2: the most painful one. And at the same time, what's
- 36:16Speaker 2: coming against them is going to be far worse than
- 36:19Speaker 2: anything this world has ever experienced before. We have the
- 36:22Speaker 2: opportunity while we are here to get the hope of
- 36:25Speaker 2: the Gospel out. I look at my studio crew, who's
- 36:29Speaker 2: here with me today. They're all young. My son's one
- 36:34Speaker 2: of them, and then two other young men. They're between
- 36:38Speaker 2: nineteen and twenty three years old, and they got to
- 36:41Speaker 2: listen to me all day. Any guests like you or
- 36:44Speaker 2: whoever else I have on. But still, especially when you're young,
- 36:50Speaker 2: your mind is you want to be liked, you want
- 36:53Speaker 2: to be accepted, you want to have fun, you want
- 36:55Speaker 2: to feel part of a group. You don't want to
- 36:57Speaker 2: feel like nobody cares about you. Will gravitate toward just
- 37:03Speaker 2: wherever those you're going to do it. I remember, you know,
- 37:07Speaker 2: I was in high school a long time ago, almost
- 37:09Speaker 2: fifty years ago, and I look back and think, I
- 37:13Speaker 2: remember what I felt. I remember my freshman and sophomore
- 37:17Speaker 2: year in high school. Didn't have any friends. You know,
- 37:19Speaker 2: it was a new school, it was a public school.
- 37:21Speaker 2: I came from a Catholic school. Yeah, I didn't get
- 37:24Speaker 2: any of this stuff. And it wasn't until my junior year,
- 37:27Speaker 2: my senior year, before I had any friends. But I
- 37:30Speaker 2: remember the loneliness. And I'm tell you, a group comes
- 37:33Speaker 2: up and accepts you for the way you are, you
- 37:36Speaker 2: will gravitate toward that. And I think this is partly
- 37:41Speaker 2: a failure of the Christian just letting other people care
- 37:46Speaker 2: about the kids, you know, and and know we need
- 37:50Speaker 2: to express who Christ is to people when we come
- 37:55Speaker 2: in contact with them, and especially young people, because what's
- 37:59Speaker 2: happening is absolutely awful.
- 38:01Speaker 1: I'd be curious, you know, just to have a survey
- 38:04Speaker 1: done of you know, people under twenty five, you know,
- 38:08Speaker 1: or maybe like go go back to Brown University where
- 38:10Speaker 1: what's your view of the Bible? Is the Bible true?
- 38:12Speaker 1: Is there can there be any truth in the Bible?
- 38:14Speaker 1: Do you have a positive view of the Bible? And
- 38:16Speaker 1: this is just the way again that the Bible has
- 38:19Speaker 1: been twisted into our from the beginning Genesis three. I
- 38:22Speaker 1: mean that, you know, did God really say? And so
- 38:23Speaker 1: you have the confusion there, and then you have others
- 38:26Speaker 1: that seek to to hijack the Bible and they say,
- 38:29Speaker 1: oh no, the Bible condones this, don't you know. It's
- 38:32Speaker 1: these funny duddy fundamentalists whatever they are interpreting it wrong.
- 38:36Speaker 1: But the real meaning of these of the language you know,
- 38:41Speaker 1: is released to maybe homosexuality or something like that. No, no, no,
- 38:44Speaker 1: that's not what it means. That's not what it means.
- 38:45Speaker 1: And so it's a twist and a turn, and then
- 38:47Speaker 1: you can go, oh, see what God really wants is
- 38:50Speaker 1: as long as I'm happy in a in a covenantal relationship,
- 38:53Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who it's with. It could even be
- 38:55Speaker 1: with an animal. It doesn't matter. As long as I'm
- 38:57Speaker 1: happy and it's and I'm monogamous, God ordains it. And
- 39:00Speaker 1: you're like, well, no, you know you didn't read what
- 39:03Speaker 1: Jesus said in Matthew nineteen. But it's that's the confusion
- 39:06Speaker 1: that you have.
- 39:07Speaker 2: It is, Yeah, whatever it makes me happy, that's what
- 39:10Speaker 2: God wants me to be happy. Well, Jesus said, deny
- 39:12Speaker 2: yourself and pick up your cross and follow me. That's
- 39:17Speaker 2: what Jesus said. He said, I am the truth, and
- 39:20Speaker 2: they say, well, live your own truth. Well, what's the truth?
- 39:24Speaker 2: No one comes to the Father except by me. That's
- 39:26Speaker 2: what Jesus says. It's interesting, what do you believe about
- 39:29Speaker 2: the Bible? I think that's a great question. I should
- 39:32Speaker 2: go to a college and ask people that question.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Do you have a positive idea?
- 39:36Speaker 2: And we and we know the narrative. You've all known
- 39:39Speaker 2: Harari and his ilk. Hey, we need ai to write
- 39:43Speaker 2: a Bible. A new body that's got it. Correct. That
- 39:47Speaker 2: does religion correct. In other words, this book is wrong,
- 39:51Speaker 2: We've got the right way of doing it, and that
- 39:53Speaker 2: that does go back to Genesis. Did God really say that?
- 39:57Speaker 2: Even God didn't really say that. He knows when you
- 40:01Speaker 2: eat the fruit in the midst of the garden from fun,
- 40:04Speaker 2: he's he's keeping you from fun. You will be like him.
- 40:09Speaker 2: You'll be like God. You're not gonna die. And this
- 40:15Speaker 2: is what they're hearing. This is what's coming out of
- 40:18Speaker 2: the World Economic Forum, this is what's coming out of
- 40:20Speaker 2: Silicon Valley, that exact message, you're not gonna die. AI
- 40:26Speaker 2: has you, it's got the answer. We really this is
- 40:29Speaker 2: really God. And guess what this is. This is what's real.
- 40:37Speaker 2: You will even not just not die, You're gonna be
- 40:40Speaker 2: like God. You'll you'll be like the God you think
- 40:43Speaker 2: you used to think existed. No, that's gonna be you.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Well, you know, you know here you and I are.
- 40:48Speaker 1: We're you know, we're according to wokeism, we're to old
- 40:52Speaker 1: white guys. Okay, we're the last people that they would
- 40:56Speaker 1: ever want want anybody to listen to because of of
- 41:00Speaker 1: just that stereotype right there at the beginning. But you know,
- 41:04Speaker 1: maybe somebody's just listening to this and they're not seeing us.
- 41:07Speaker 2: But you know.
- 41:11Speaker 1: What, we're nobody, right, I mean, we're nobody in this scheme,
- 41:14Speaker 1: especially the world. We consider us nobody. But we're messengers.
- 41:19Speaker 1: We're messengers here to share that. We're here to share
- 41:23Speaker 1: God's message, God's eternal word, his standards, his design right,
- 41:28Speaker 1: his original design. But also to say that the reason
- 41:32Speaker 1: why I'm so passionate about it, and you are too,
- 41:35Speaker 1: as pastors, why do we give our lives to doing that,
- 41:38Speaker 1: is because we know that there's eternity at stake, there's lies,
- 41:41Speaker 1: there's exception. We don't even want to say, you know
- 41:44Speaker 1: it's coming, because one of the defining characteristics, whether it's
- 41:47Speaker 1: Jesus in Matthew twenty four or Paul and Saktithsonians, or
- 41:50Speaker 1: even in the book Revelation, let no one deceive you.
- 41:54Speaker 1: And what we're seeing now is more and more. What's
- 41:58Speaker 1: the opposite of discission?
- 42:00Speaker 2: Well? Truth?
- 42:00Speaker 1: Well, where do we get that from? Well, we know
- 42:02Speaker 1: that the only place that we can truly get it
- 42:05Speaker 1: from is the Scripture, God's truth.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Yeah. Amen. In fact, if we don't have the Bible,
- 42:12Speaker 2: we will be deceived. It's the only thing that's really
- 42:15Speaker 2: going to keep us from being deceived. So when we
- 42:17Speaker 2: think what Jesus say, be careful that no one deceives you.
- 42:21Speaker 2: Then he says, for many will come in my name
- 42:23Speaker 2: and claim that they are the Christ. This is what's happening.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Also with the advancement of technology and ai y'v all
- 42:32Speaker 2: Harari know we're going to rewrite the Bible. We have
- 42:35Speaker 2: all these different versions of a Messiah like figure in
- 42:40Speaker 2: technology in and of itself, it's exploding right now. So
- 42:44Speaker 2: when Jesus says many are going to come in my
- 42:46Speaker 2: name saying I am the Christ, these things are being
- 42:49Speaker 2: promoted by wicked men and wicked women that are here
- 42:53Speaker 2: on this planet. It's so without the Word to guide
- 42:58Speaker 2: you through these things, you're you're not gonna make it.
- 43:01Speaker 2: You will be deceived. I find this interesting. You talked
- 43:04Speaker 2: about two white guys sitting here talking mean older than
- 43:08Speaker 2: you and and who's gonna believe us? Well interesting, we're
- 43:13Speaker 2: both heterosexual. So there's different people I follow that are secularists.
- 43:18Speaker 2: They're they're not Christian by any stretch of the imagination,
- 43:22Speaker 2: and I find them pushing against the wokeism. Bill Maher atheist, right,
- 43:26Speaker 2: they're seeing it. They're seeing it and they know something
- 43:29Speaker 2: is wrong. Uh. Dave Rubin, who I believe is married
- 43:32Speaker 2: to his a man, you know he's but I listened
- 43:39Speaker 2: to his podcast and here the things he says. Apart
- 43:41Speaker 2: from that, Yeah, he's these there's a wake up that's happening.
- 43:46Speaker 2: And you know, one of the reasons I did this
- 43:48Speaker 2: book is not just to I want the believer to
- 43:51Speaker 2: be strengthened, to have their answers that they need to
- 43:55Speaker 2: really give depth and to help the prophecy person to
- 43:59Speaker 2: to understand things that they likely did not understand before.
- 44:04Speaker 2: So I really wanted that to happen, but also to
- 44:06Speaker 2: give to someone like that's just that is willing to
- 44:10Speaker 2: be critically thinking and say, Okay, what's really going on?
- 44:15Speaker 2: Somebody just has that question, and so it's putting it
- 44:19Speaker 2: all together and leading people to understanding. Look, we're able
- 44:22Speaker 2: to put a book like this together because of what
- 44:25Speaker 2: the Bible says, and you do the reverse engineering. You know,
- 44:29Speaker 2: I talked about World War One and World War Two
- 44:31Speaker 2: in the book and what came out of that and
- 44:34Speaker 2: where we are today. You're able to go a walk
- 44:37Speaker 2: through history, but say we're able to land here because
- 44:40Speaker 2: the Bible tells us this, and without the Bible we
- 44:44Speaker 2: will be deceived. So so great is the deception Jesus
- 44:50Speaker 2: even said himself that if possible, even the elect would
- 44:55Speaker 2: be deceived. But praise God, he says, if possible. In
- 44:58Speaker 2: other words, it's not possible, but if it was, the
- 45:01Speaker 2: deception will be so great. They'll be deceived. Not just
- 45:04Speaker 2: the deception, but also the shaming, the manipulating, the fear mongering,
- 45:11Speaker 2: all of these different things that are happening that are
- 45:14Speaker 2: going to cause people to just say, I give people
- 45:19Speaker 2: on the planet to get to the point to willingly
- 45:22Speaker 2: receive the deception even though they know it's a lie.
- 45:26Speaker 2: Second Peter chapter three, they'll be willfully ignorant. Where's the
- 45:30Speaker 2: promise of coming out now? They'll be wilfully ignorant. They
- 45:33Speaker 2: will choose ignorance. They'll choose to deny the truth. And
- 45:38Speaker 2: what the other dynamic we see happening in two Timothy
- 45:41Speaker 2: chapter three, a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.
- 45:47Speaker 1: It's so true. One of the things that I think
- 45:49Speaker 1: that I appreciated you talking about in the book, because
- 45:51Speaker 1: at the time we actually when I first came here.
- 45:54Speaker 1: It's been a couple of years now, but one of
- 45:55Speaker 1: the first things that I did was is the vaccine
- 45:59Speaker 1: the mark of the beast. And it's like, uh no,
- 46:04Speaker 1: it's not. I mean, there's so many reasons why but that.
- 46:07Speaker 1: But however, but even though we say no, we still say,
- 46:12Speaker 1: but what we saw over the last couple of years
- 46:17Speaker 1: is going back to this word conditioning for people, because
- 46:21Speaker 1: when you come to that final point, in the mid
- 46:23Speaker 1: midpoint of the tribulation, the Bible gives us this snapshot.
- 46:28Speaker 1: This is what's happening. It has the mark as an
- 46:30Speaker 1: economic it has a political connection, it's it's got a
- 46:35Speaker 1: universal connection and everybody. And so again, looking backwards, we go, well,
- 46:40Speaker 1: how could you do that? I mean, how could you
- 46:42Speaker 1: do that without technology? But then now when we look
- 46:45Speaker 1: at the so this is what costs people for so long,
- 46:48Speaker 1: even thirty years ago. Oh yeah, cashless society, cashless society,
- 46:52Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, what is that guy saying? He's a crackpot?
- 46:55Speaker 1: But now here we are, we're and what the Bible
- 46:58Speaker 1: is simply saying is, hey, guys, if we sum rise
- 47:01Speaker 1: marking the masses is looking at this unique event that's
- 47:05Speaker 1: going to be in the future. But to say, if
- 47:08Speaker 1: we if we just uh, take that event and describe
- 47:13Speaker 1: how it could take place with all these technologies and
- 47:17Speaker 1: other things political, governmental, whatever, and then to again reverse backwards,
- 47:22Speaker 1: go hmmm, check check check right now in the moment.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, I would say totally in the moment.
- 47:30Speaker 1: So and I think, as you know, we have to
- 47:34Speaker 1: be as Christians, I guess I'll say it this way.
- 47:38Speaker 1: We don't we don't know, and we can't assume. I
- 47:43Speaker 1: believe in the pre trip rapture of course all the way.
- 47:46Speaker 1: But we could have full complete, total totalitarian non sovereignty
- 47:54Speaker 1: on America's gone before the tribulation even begins.
- 47:58Speaker 2: We could.
- 47:59Speaker 1: We can observe all that. There's no guarantee that that
- 48:02Speaker 1: like the Ten Kings that you know, whatever that means,
- 48:05Speaker 1: and that organizational structure whatever that looks like, even the
- 48:11Speaker 1: coming global order, all that could be well in place,
- 48:13Speaker 1: even potentially years before the tribulation begins. There's no promise
- 48:18Speaker 1: that that's that it only happens in the midpoint. We
- 48:21Speaker 1: just know that by then it does, and then of
- 48:24Speaker 1: course Satan has the mark. We do know the mark
- 48:26Speaker 1: is in the midpoint. I'm that's one hundred percent true.
- 48:28Speaker 1: But all the rest of the stuff.
- 48:31Speaker 2: Totally agree, one hundred percent agreeing. People get I'm sure
- 48:34Speaker 2: they get angry at you for saying that, because they
- 48:36Speaker 2: get angry at me for saying I say, Look, we
- 48:39Speaker 2: could see the system of the Ten Kings happen, because
- 48:43Speaker 2: all we know from Daniel chapter seven, verse twenty four
- 48:46Speaker 2: is the ten Kings have to be in place before
- 48:50Speaker 2: Antichrist yep, because they give the power to Antichrist. In
- 48:55Speaker 2: Daniel chapter seven, verse twenty four says after these ten
- 48:59Speaker 2: then ANTIQ.
- 49:00Speaker 1: How long are they wrong?
- 49:01Speaker 2: Could they be five?
- 49:01Speaker 1: Ten years?
- 49:02Speaker 2: Maybe it could be I. So we're this is what's happening.
- 49:07Speaker 2: The system is being built, so it's understanding. All we
- 49:11Speaker 2: know for sure is the rapture is going to take
- 49:14Speaker 2: place before the seven year tribulation begins, before Antichrist confirms
- 49:20Speaker 2: that covenant of Daniel chapter nine. We know it's going
- 49:23Speaker 2: to take place before that, but we don't know when
- 49:26Speaker 2: the day or the hour is of the confirmation of
- 49:29Speaker 2: the covenant. We don't know that. So how can we
- 49:31Speaker 2: know the day or the hour of the rapture? We
- 49:33Speaker 2: know what happened before that, but we don't know. We
- 49:35Speaker 2: see things happening with Israel. We can tell the dynamics.
- 49:39Speaker 2: We get a good idea of the time frame we're
- 49:42Speaker 2: in the latter days, no doubt about it, at the
- 49:44Speaker 2: end of the eight But what does that mean a week?
- 49:48Speaker 2: Or does that mean five years or ten years? Boy?
- 49:52Speaker 2: When I say that, Boy do I get people mad
- 49:54Speaker 2: when I've said that.
- 49:55Speaker 1: But they're no, no way, Hey, don't assume anything.
- 49:58Speaker 2: Don't assume anything. Promise the rapture since nineteen eighty eight,
- 50:02Speaker 2: every single year and listen, we just our concern is
- 50:07Speaker 2: that people would be strong in the Lord. They would
- 50:10Speaker 2: have a sharp mind, critically thinking about everything, not be
- 50:15Speaker 2: easily swayed. Because if you think you're going to be
- 50:18Speaker 2: out of here next week because you're promised next week,
- 50:22Speaker 2: you're going to be a raption r Well what exactly? Well,
- 50:25Speaker 2: every fall, every fall, and you're here a month later,
- 50:29Speaker 2: you're going to be greatly discouraged. Anxiety is going to
- 50:32Speaker 2: overwhelm you, and you're going to be You're going to
- 50:35Speaker 2: be swayed. And and God doesn't want us to be
- 50:39Speaker 2: that way. He wants us to be have a sound
- 50:42Speaker 2: mind and understand what his word does say so we
- 50:45Speaker 2: go through his word, we hope the rapture today, Hey,
- 50:48Speaker 2: I hope I'm in. I would be. I would be
- 50:50Speaker 2: so excited to get raptured right this second, man, I
- 50:54Speaker 2: would be. I would prefer that. I would prefer that
- 50:58Speaker 2: we don't need the angry emails, and we don't do
- 51:00Speaker 2: that for this. We want people to be well educated
- 51:03Speaker 2: and to be strong, and so that's why we do
- 51:06Speaker 2: what we do.
- 51:07Speaker 1: And I don't want to I don't want people to
- 51:09Speaker 1: be left with the impression that we, at least for me,
- 51:13Speaker 1: that we think that twenty twenty three is the same
- 51:15Speaker 1: we're in the same worldwide situation that we were in
- 51:19Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. Well, of course, not that we are
- 51:22Speaker 1: well on the way. It's way different. We've seen things
- 51:25Speaker 1: progress from nineteen eighty eight or nineteen ninety four, you know,
- 51:28Speaker 1: all these times when the even twenty eleven Harold Camping,
- 51:32Speaker 1: you know, May twenty first describing the rapture is going
- 51:35Speaker 1: to happen. So there's no doubt. Every seems like every week,
- 51:38Speaker 1: every month that goes by, all these these stage setting
- 51:42Speaker 1: things are getting more and more developed, they are getting
- 51:44Speaker 1: more and more mature. So no doubt we are on
- 51:46Speaker 1: the final run. But that's but how far along that
- 51:51Speaker 1: final run we don't know.
- 51:52Speaker 2: Right Well, that's why I wrote the book because listen,
- 51:56Speaker 2: we are seeing it. It is coming together every day.
- 51:59Speaker 2: It's like you wake up and you go, oh, hey,
- 52:02Speaker 2: I can't did this really happen? So I wrote the
- 52:05Speaker 2: book with that urgency. But I'm not foolish enough to say, hey,
- 52:10Speaker 2: I'm just gonna sell everything and I'm gonna run up
- 52:13Speaker 2: my credit cards and not do anything. No, as pastors,
- 52:16Speaker 2: we get, especially ones who like Bible prophecy, we can
- 52:20Speaker 2: see the finish line. What does every single runner in
- 52:23Speaker 2: any race do when they see the finish line? Man,
- 52:26Speaker 2: the ones that are in last place are running harder
- 52:28Speaker 2: than they were the rest of the race. The ones
- 52:30Speaker 2: they're all running as if they're gonna get the prices,
- 52:32Speaker 2: if they're gonna win. So that's what we do. We
- 52:36Speaker 2: inspire one another, We encourage one another. We hope for today.
- 52:39Speaker 2: We can see the finish line. Hence the book, Hence
- 52:42Speaker 2: prophecy watchers ministry, hence everything that I do. We do
- 52:47Speaker 2: these things because we say, wow, it is all coming together. Baby,
- 52:53Speaker 2: look up and lift up your head because your redemption
- 52:55Speaker 2: draws near, but I'm not gonna quit. I'm going to
- 52:57Speaker 2: run through the finish line as hard as I poss can.
- 53:00Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, and as we as we think about
- 53:03Speaker 1: this topic, I want to remind everybody to you know,
- 53:05Speaker 1: you're going to be at our conference here in UH
- 53:07Speaker 1: in October in Norman, and for those you can watchers
- 53:11Speaker 1: Weekend dot com you can take a listen as well
- 53:13Speaker 1: as uh be a part of our live stream if
- 53:15Speaker 1: you can't be there. So we're gonna have a great time,
- 53:17Speaker 1: continue to teach and preach. But thank you guys for
- 53:21Speaker 1: listening today. Tom, thanks for being here marking the masses
