Transcript
- 0:01Hello folks, this is Princess. You are listening to the
- 0:04Millennial Mustard Seed podcast. Thanks for listening.
- 0:07Don't forget to share with your friends.
- 0:11That's tough. We're in a very tough spot.
- 0:13I think that what we're doing right now is a great benefit and
- 0:17virtue because it's an end around between this whole
- 0:21corrupt informational system, media system.
- 0:25We claim to believe in a God who spoke the universe into
- 0:28existence and literally raised himself from the dead, and yet
- 0:33we're not going to believe that anything else exists in the
- 0:36spirit realm, even though His word tells us that they do.
- 0:40Their bodies weren't permitted to go to sleep like humans do,
- 0:44and they weren't permitted to go to heaven, so they wander the
- 0:47earth. You know, I've seen the eyes
- 0:50turn black to unknown tongues being spoken.
- 0:55These giants would love way up in the island.
- 0:57The young Braves, the young men would hide up in the trees and
- 1:01wait for one of these 12 footers to come walking down the path
- 1:04and they would jump on them and kill them, drag them back to the
- 1:07village, and the village would feast on the body freedom.
- 1:15Then people start to get weapons, they start to get
- 1:17armor, they start to build cities, they start to.
- 1:19Fortify their cities. Now.
- 1:21God looks. Down and there's violence
- 1:22everywhere. The battle, this war that we are
- 1:26at, is not against each other. It's against these
- 1:29principalities and these rulers and these archons in the high
- 1:31places. It's really worthwhile to read
- 1:34the Bible yourself. Fear is one of the primary
- 1:37drivers of mind control because we have to take every thought
- 1:42captive and resist fear. You're going to have a testimony
- 1:49that is a justice case against the Kingdom of darkness.
- 2:12Hey, Master Chief Family. It's me, Princess.
- 2:15I'm here in studio with my husband Rod and our brother in
- 2:19Christ, BHB. Guys, I am so happy to be here.

- 3:12Podcast, Mr. Rod Smith. Let's go.
- 3:21Thank you for helping me with this amazing introduction, BHB
- 3:25and my favorite frenemy and lover Princess.
- 3:29So I want to tell you guys that this episode is so much more
- 3:33than just the Age of Deceit exclusive.
- 3:36Gon shares some inside information about his testimony,
- 3:40how he came to the Lord. He was one of the guys that
- 3:43early back in 2017 when I found him and his Co host Basil who
- 3:49was on episode 100. If you guys didn't hear that,
- 3:52that we're talking about things that the Lord was bringing to my
- 3:55mind, questions that I had, stuff I was finding in the
- 3:59Bible, when these guys were literally on the radio talking
- 4:02about it, I felt like, listen, I'm not alone.
- 4:05There's somebody else out there. So Gonz has been a huge
- 4:08inspiration to me over all of these years.
- 4:10I never thought I would have such an awesome interview with
- 4:13him, but here we are. God works in mysterious ways.
- 4:18Like BHB and my wife said, we need you guys to like, share and
- 4:22subscribe. Literally that helps the
- 4:25algorithms you help us to reach one more person that's just like

- 5:08to occupy. God has a plan for each one of
- 5:12our lives. But what we're witnessing take

- 5:47And I think it's about time to jump into this episode.
- 5:51I'm ready. Are you guys ready?
- 5:54Let's go. Hey everybody, this is Gonz of
- 6:11Face Like the Sun and Canary Cry Radio and Canary Cry News talk.
- 6:15Welcome to the millennial mustard seed.
- 6:22Gonz, it's an honor to be here with you, man.
- 6:24I've been waiting a long time for this since since I ever
- 6:28first heard you in 2017, actually.
- 6:30Didn't know I would be talking with such a inspiration someday,
- 6:34but it's an honor to have you here man.
- 6:35Well, thanks for inviting me on. I don't feel great about being
- 6:38called an inspiration. That's I think inspiration
- 6:40belongs to the Lord. But thank you and thank, thank
- 6:42the Lord for using a, a, a wrecked vessel like me to do
- 6:48something good in the world. So I appreciate that.
- 6:51Yeah, that just shows the humility and the genuineness
- 6:53that I identify. And both you and your Co host
- 6:56Basil. Basil was the one for episode
- 6:58100, I want to say like 40 plus episodes ago.
- 7:02Just to recap real quick before I have you just really introduce
- 7:05yourself. It was back in 2017, working at
- 7:08Three M where I didn't have anybody talking about the things
- 7:13that I was experiencing and questioning that was like close
- 7:16to my age group that actually understood like bring stuff up
- 7:19to pastors. And it was just like
- 7:21acknowledge, ignore. And so I came across you and
- 7:24Basil and I just remember being like, my jaw hit the floor.
- 7:26I'm like, there's more. There's other people out there
- 7:29and I'm like, this is amazing. And just, you know, hearing you
- 7:32guys wrestle through topics early on Canary Cry Radio, it
- 7:36kind of gave me a license in a way to be like, man, I'm going
- 7:39to be more vocal about all of this stuff I've experienced over
- 7:42my life. The stuff my wife experienced
- 7:44that she would bring up, you know, pillow talk, if you will.
- 7:47I'm not alone. You know, someone else is out
- 7:50there actually being legit. Hey, I'm a broken vessel here.
- 7:54I am. The Lord is moving me, right?
- 7:56The the scripture says he works in and through US to cause his
- 7:58will to come about. And that is, in my opinion,
- 8:01there's a lot of deception to wade through.
- 8:03So to have you here, I honor you, man, and I just recognize
- 8:07like what you have done. But why don't you tell us what
- 8:10it is exactly that you do? Give us, you know, a brief
- 8:13overview of your testimony. Oh, you cut out for a second
- 8:16there. Are you still there?
- 8:18Hold on. Did it glitch?
- 8:20Yeah, totally glitch you were getting into.
- 8:23Hopefully you can edit. I'm going to shut the video off
- 8:24in case. Yeah, might help the the feed
- 8:27there. OK.
- 8:29Sorry, you were just about to tell me what to do and like, why
- 8:34don't you? And then it's started getting
- 8:37glitchy. Why don't you tell us exactly
- 8:39what it is you do and give us a brief overview of your
- 8:42testimony? Sure.
- 8:44So I have been in media ministry, just online ministry
- 8:50for over a decade now. I started in 2011 and it it
- 8:55happened because I had a very similar experience to what you
- 8:59just talked about there, where I was baptized and saved in 2007.
- 9:05And you know, I have a whole life before then of I was in my
- 9:08early 20s. I was did not grow up in a, a
- 9:12Christian home. I was actually in a very
- 9:15atheistic home. My parents are immigrants from
- 9:18Japan. They came here in 1977 and I was
- 9:21born in 1983. So I'm starting to go ancient in
- 9:25that 40 mountain there. But yeah, so I had a background
- 9:31of, of a very interesting culture clash between my
- 9:36Japanese, you know, ethnic culture and American culture
- 9:39living in America. And that shaped me in a certain
- 9:42way. But also I was always a seeker
- 9:43and trying to figure out what's going on, like what's true,
- 9:46because it seemed like I couldn't really trust anybody or
- 9:49anything. And that's, that's been a a
- 9:51problem of mine personally for a long time.
- 9:53But in 2007, a lot of the bigger things about, hey, is there a
- 9:57God? Is there something that we can
- 10:01identify with as people that explains the, the problem that
- 10:07we see in this world of evil, of pain, of suffering, all these
- 10:10things, but also the ability to explain love and this this just
- 10:14myriad of emotions and experiences that people have.
- 10:18Is there an explanation? And I found God to be a very not
- 10:22just suitable, but coherent explanation for all that.
- 10:25And so in 2007, that's when I was baptized and I got married
- 10:29in 2008. And it was through my wife that
- 10:31I actually even started my journey into the church with
- 10:34that whole process. Because, you know, prior to that
- 10:37I was, I wouldn't say I was new age, but I was, I was just
- 10:40trying to seek something and some kind of spiritual
- 10:44substance. And it was hard to find, you
- 10:46know, I looked into different new age thinking I was looking
- 10:50into Buddhism, which my parents came from.
- 10:53And all of them, none of it was very fulfilling, you know, and
- 10:56actually it was the monotheistic faiths that I was like that was
- 10:59probably most against. It was like, these guys don't
- 11:01know what they're talking about. And then come to find out, I
- 11:04think maybe I was on the wrong side of that one early on.
- 11:07But it was after the baptism and there was about a year of just
- 11:12almost like a, a honeymoon period of discovering God,
- 11:15discovering truth and being on fire.
- 11:17And after that, I, I went through a, a lull, maybe like a
- 11:22sophomore slump type of situation, except it lasted
- 11:24maybe a couple more years than it should have.
- 11:26Where I started looking at some of the topics that I were that I
- 11:31was curious about growing up, which included supernatural
- 11:34themes, angels, demons, aliens, things that you would see in
- 11:41anime and a lot of Japanese culture.
- 11:43Because I grew up again with a sort of a bridge between Japan
- 11:47and America, living in America and growing up in America, but
- 11:50you know, getting VHS tapes from my aunt of Dragon Ball before
- 11:55Dragon Ball was even a thing in America, things like that.
- 11:57So I was, I was exposed to science fiction and just your
- 12:01more supernatural type of stuff early on.
- 12:04And so I was always curious and interested in those topics.
- 12:07And when I started looking at those topics and trying to
- 12:12understand, well, OK, so if the word of God in the Bible is
- 12:15truly what it claims to be, this, this thing that transcends
- 12:20time and space and all this, then it should at least give
- 12:23some reference or some context to these other topics like
- 12:27aliens. And you know, 'cause if you, you
- 12:29look down these, the list of topics there and you find that
- 12:32they are big cosmic topics that are, you know, are we alone?
- 12:36Is there a God? These are huge questions that
- 12:38people have wrestled with for generations, for centuries or,
- 12:42you know, millennia. So I knew there was a lot of
- 12:45documentation, but OK, does the Bible actually address those
- 12:48things? Is there a connection between
- 12:50the topic of angels and demons that we find in the Bible with
- 12:53aliens? And, you know, a lot of times
- 12:56when I would bring it up with much like your experience, when
- 12:58I would bring it up with, at the time, I was a tech at a church
- 13:03for the high school ministry. I was not, you know, part of
- 13:06the, the actual staff of the pastoral staff, but I was a tech
- 13:10doing a lot of the high school ministry and junior high
- 13:12ministry and the big church there at the the church.
- 13:14And it was great for me because I did not grow up in the church.
- 13:18So I got a chance to get, you know, all the sort of basics of
- 13:22the gospel type of stuff from the high school level
- 13:25perspective, which again, it was, it was helpful for me just
- 13:28to fill the gaps. But in that process, I remember
- 13:31asking some of those pastors, hey, what about aliens?
- 13:36Is there is there anything about aliens in the Bible?
- 13:38Is there any connection or any explanation or something?
- 13:42And they were kind of like, yeah, no, not, not really.
- 13:45I mean, there's angels in the Bible, but, you know, angels and
- 13:48demons. But there's nothing about
- 13:49aliens. OK All right.
- 13:51So then I started looking online and trying to figure out stuff.
- 13:55And what I discovered early on were people like David Wilcox or
- 14:00Wilcock, I guess not Cox. But do you?
- 14:03Do you know who David Wilcock is?
- 14:05Yeah, well, I, I don't know. I've heard of David Wilkerson,
- 14:09but I'm not familiar with. OK, so David Wilcock is not a
- 14:13Christian. He is, he's he, he claimed at
- 14:16the time to be the reincarnation of Edward Casey.
- 14:19And, and yeah, and he had these, yeah, he had these like 3 1/2
- 14:24hour, 4 hour podcasts that he would just rant about the energy
- 14:29wave and 20 this was before 2012.
- 14:32OK, so this is like 2010, 2009, 2010.
- 14:34And some of this stuff was getting popular in the in the
- 14:38corners of the Internet, you know, the people that are on the
- 14:40fringes. And he was talking about how
- 14:42we're going to have this galactic wave that is emanating
- 14:45from the from the center of the Galaxy.
- 14:47And it's part of the evolutionary process.
- 14:50And December 21st, 2012 is the date when that wave hits the
- 14:54Earth. And instantaneously we are all
- 14:57going to ascend. And all you need to do is be 51%
- 15:01good, just over half good, as long as you're half good.
- 15:05If you're, if you're under that, if you're like a bad person,
- 15:07you've done bad things or whatever.
- 15:08And you have like a, a, you know, below 50% karma rate or
- 15:12whatever it was, then you might perish.
- 15:14But otherwise you're good. Just do good things, just be a
- 15:16good person and you'll be fine. You'll be part of the big
- 15:19upgrade. And I was, I didn't necessarily
- 15:22believe it, but I was compelled. I was like, really like, how do
- 15:24you even know that there's a galactic wave and all this
- 15:26stuff? And of course, there's a lot of
- 15:28surrounding conspiracies and, you know, energetic stuff going
- 15:32on, conversations about ancient harnessing of energy and things.
- 15:36So it was fascinating to talk about, but it was, it was
- 15:40definitely off the wall. And I, I remember thinking like,
- 15:44OK, wait a minute. All right, all right, so this
- 15:46dude is saying that there's this galactic wave, there's this
- 15:48ascension. And the big thing he was talking
- 15:50about with, Oh, well, Jesus was just one of those guys.
- 15:54He was, he was an ascended, he is an ascended master.
- 15:57He came to the earth as one of the masters to show how this
- 16:00whole upgrade process will go. And I was like, OK, that sounds
- 16:07kind of good. I guess.
- 16:09Like I know the Bible talks about a heaven, you know, and,
- 16:13and new bodies. You go to 1st Corinthians 15 and
- 16:15it talks about being born again in the spirit and having these
- 16:18bodies and stuff. So it's like, OK, there might be
- 16:20something there, but but also I was like, wait a minute.
- 16:24But he's saying Jesus is some kind of like ascended master
- 16:28Starship Enterprise, like captain or something of some
- 16:32star cruiser. And he's like hanging out in
- 16:34space, you know, kind of like the what was the I forget the
- 16:38ones in the 19, the late 1990s, there was a cult that drank
- 16:44kool-aid and killed themselves. I'm trying to remember them.
- 16:49My brain is not working. Heaven's Gate.
- 16:53Yeah, it was Heaven's Gate. I think it was called.
- 16:55Yeah. So it's, you know, it sounded
- 16:56kind of like that. And.
- 16:57But OK, whatever. I was like, all right, well,
- 17:00maybe there's something there. So I would ask questions like
- 17:02that. And I can understand the pastors
- 17:03pushing back on that kind of stuff.
- 17:04You know, when I was asking questions like, hey, are is
- 17:07Jesus an ascended master? And like, you know, he's just
- 17:10showing us how to ascend into our astral bodies so that we can
- 17:14live forever in, in the space astral realm or whatever.
- 17:17I'm sure they were like, yeah, OK, go, go hang out, go stop
- 17:20playing video games or whatever. But that's, that's kind of where
- 17:23I was at. And I was like, man, I was
- 17:24really confused. I was, I was really searching
- 17:27and you know, what was so clear and obvious a couple years
- 17:30before about God and who Jesus was, all of a sudden I started
- 17:34doubting. I was like, wait a minute, it
- 17:35was who's telling the truth here?
- 17:36Because the identity of Jesus that I'm getting from this
- 17:40church setting is not exactly what I'm getting from guys like
- 17:43David Wilcock and others. There was Jordan Maxwell, he's
- 17:47another one of these guys. And the Zeitgeist film had been
- 17:50out for a couple years at that point.
- 17:52And if you know about that Zeitgeist documentary, the first
- 17:55one, you know, there was a part about the money system, which I,
- 17:58I think mostly most people agree with, that the monetary system
- 18:01is corrupt. And we can talk about that
- 18:02another time. And then there was another
- 18:04section on I think it was the 9/11 situation and how it was,
- 18:08you know, sort of cover up and all that kind of stuff.
- 18:10And then there was this other section that talked about how
- 18:13Jesus is just like these other gods in the ancient past, Mithra
- 18:18and, you know, all these different lowercase G gods that
- 18:22existed in other religions, which turned out to be untrue.
- 18:25A lot of it is just fabricated. But you know that that was a
- 18:28popular documentary at the time. So it was, it was kind of in
- 18:32that Gray area where I, I think a lot of people were asking
- 18:36questions or starting to ask questions that were curious, but
- 18:38they didn't, there weren't as many resources available or you
- 18:42really didn't know where to look because there were still, it
- 18:44was, this is still the late 2000 tens.
- 18:46You know, you had YouTube and stuff and Facebook.
- 18:48It was, was around, but it wasn't really big yet.
- 18:52You know, that people, not everybody was on social media,
- 18:54not everyone was doing online video content or audio content,
- 18:57but there, but there were people out there.
- 18:59And you know, in this in the midst of all this, and I
- 19:02remember asking God too, like, hey, God, just please show me a
- 19:05UFO. If this UFO thing is real, just
- 19:07show me this crazy UFO. And of course, nothing
- 19:09happening. But what did happen?
- 19:12Because I remember really fervently like asking God, like,
- 19:14Hey, can you show me something? Just tell me something so I can
- 19:18just get this off my mind and, and you know, just show me some
- 19:21truths. So I was listening to Coast to
- 19:23Coast AM, which I did on a regular basis at the time with
- 19:26George Nori and very popular late night AM radio show that
- 19:32talked about all the crazy things.
- 19:34But it was late night, you know, so it was out of the, the ears
- 19:37of the normal people. And a guy named LA Marzulli was
- 19:42on and he was talking about the, the guidebook to the
- 19:45supernatural and the Yeshua. And he's like screaming and
- 19:48yelling about all this stuff. And he, he, I was like, wait a
- 19:51minute, The guidebook to the supernatural.
- 19:53What is he talking about? And, and Yeshua, like what?
- 19:56Who's Yeshua? Like, wait, is there another guy
- 19:59with another weird angle about Jesus?
- 20:01What's going on? So I started looking up LA
- 20:04Marzulli and I noticed he had some fictional books that he had
- 20:07written on the Nephilim. It was a Nephilim trilogy.
- 20:11So I bought those. But actually I think my wife got
- 20:12it for me for Christmas or something.
- 20:14I think it was at the time. And so I, I, I went through and
- 20:17I read it and I was like, Oh my gosh.
- 20:19I think LA is like, like he's like a Christian Christian.
- 20:22Like he's, he's like a grounded Christian.
- 20:24Not not like just a new agey guy or I think he's but like.
- 20:28Putting the Bible 1st and Jesus and it seems like he's got
- 20:31everything straight. So that that started my journey
- 20:34of like, OK, who's this Ali Marzulli guy tried to find all
- 20:37his interviews. That's how I discovered Doctor
- 20:41Future and Future Quake. They were another group that was
- 20:43talking about not just the alien stuff and, and all that with the
- 20:46Nephilim and all that, but it was also talking about the one
- 20:49world government, the New World Order, the the whole Illuminati,
- 20:53those conspiracies. And yeah, it opened up a whole
- 20:57host of people, Derek and Sharon Gilbert from PID Radio and A
- 21:01View from the Bunker. They're at Sky Watch TV now.
- 21:04And also Russ Dizdar and who else?
- 21:08I, I'm going to forget some people, but there was just a, a
- 21:11group of people that were really doing it.
- 21:13And they were standing on the shoulders of others, people like
- 21:15Chuck Missler. I found the Chuck Missler
- 21:18Firefighters for Christ MP threes that yo, those were
- 21:22amazing. These, these are just lectures
- 21:24that Chuck Missler did at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in
- 21:27like the, I think it was early 2000s or late 90s.
- 21:30And man, those things are timeless.
- 21:31They are absolutely timeless. And he, he really digs into all
- 21:35the stuff that, that, you know, you would never dig into the
- 21:38stuff about the Bible that you would never know.
- 21:40And he was coming at it from not just the, the scriptural point
- 21:44of view, but he was AI think he was like an engineer.
- 21:47So he had a mind. Oh he is.
- 21:49He's an impressive resume to be honest with you.
- 21:52Yeah, yeah. So and I, I got a chance to see
- 21:55Chuck Missler speak at one of the conferences shortly before
- 22:00he passed. And he was, he was, he was
- 22:04talking about the quantum stuff and I could tell.
- 22:06That a room was. Just like, what are I?
- 22:09We can't even follow. And I, I couldn't even follow.
- 22:11I was like, I don't even know what you're saying right now,
- 22:13but I'm just gonna let the spirit speak to me and I'm gonna
- 22:15soak it all in because the words aren't making sense.
- 22:17But but I'm, I know the spirit is resonating.
- 22:19So that was one of the coolest experiences there.
- 22:23I think it was in Branson in 2012 or 2013, trying to
- 22:26remember, but that that was really good.
- 22:29But. He was a legend.
- 22:30He was a legend. Every time LA is on we we
- 22:32literally bring up Chuck Missler.
- 22:34Of course. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm
- 22:36listening to Chuck, but that was like this like high eclectic
- 22:40setting of of information. But you and Basil were like the
- 22:45reality check of like here's people I can relate to.
- 22:48Like Chuck was talking about stuff like I don't, I don't even
- 22:52know what this is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 22:54Doctor Michael Heiser is another one of those people that really
- 22:57was the foundation for a lot of this with his academic work.
- 23:01So yes, yeah, it opened up a lot of these people up and and just
- 23:06digging into all their stuff. And Chris White too.
- 23:08Chris White was on YouTube nowhere to run 1984 and he was
- 23:12making these videos about giants and and just all the stuff and
- 23:16conspiracies and he was cool enough to actually be almost
- 23:21like a he. He was technically a guest, but
- 23:23it it's more like a Co. He didn't want any other title
- 23:27than guests for the film. But he was almost like a Co
- 23:29writer or co-author of the film because he, he really helped me
- 23:33research stuff about Alice Bailey and, and some of the
- 23:36things I cover in age of deceit 1.
- 23:39And he also recorded a, a whole audio that he, you know, that I
- 23:42used for the film. He made it for the film.
- 23:44So I, I owe Chris a lot with just helping me out, getting me
- 23:48started. And you know, the reason why I,
- 23:50I was getting to the point of making the film after getting
- 23:54all this knowledge and starting to learn about it and making
- 23:56sense. It was like, OK, now I
- 23:58understand what's going on. The Nephilim, the Baneja Elohim,
- 24:00what's happening in Psalm 82? What's that?
- 24:02You know, what, what are all these passages about?
- 24:04What, what's the common thread that connects everything that
- 24:07happened from Genesis 1 all the way to Revelation 21 or 22?
- 24:12And just what, what is it? What's the big theme?
- 24:14What's the cosmic theme? And it's all this crazy stuff.
- 24:17It's all this weird stuff that seems to be.
- 24:20Yeah, well, it's pretty much mainstream now, you know, I
- 24:23mean, we got the alien stuff and UFO stuff happening with our
- 24:25government openly. You know, it's, it's just all
- 24:28this, all these things. So it, it, it was just, it, it,
- 24:32it was my brain was bursting. It was, there was too much, I
- 24:35had too much information in my brain and I had to let it out.
- 24:38It's like I can't just keep yapping at my wife about it.
- 24:40She's going to, you know, pick me up.
- 24:43So, so I was like, OK, I got to do something.
- 24:46I got to write, I got to do something.
- 24:48So I started a blog that was early 2011.
- 24:51I documented some, some of my Branson trips on that.
- 24:54I think some of it is in the archives, but the, the website
- 24:58is down now, unfortunately. But I did that and then by 20,
- 25:02by the end of 2011, I was like, I'm I'm going to make a film.
- 25:05I I have to try to leverage my tech skills.
- 25:07And I had never really done video editing.
- 25:09I'd done audio editing for a while, but no video.
- 25:13So I figured out how to video edit and put the film together.
- 25:17And that's it's, you know, it's kind of funny.
- 25:20People seem to like that indie feel.
- 25:23I think it's partly why I was very pretty successful was
- 25:26because it didn't feel like a polished, overproduced film.
- 25:29It was kind of like, yeah, I did it in my, my living room on a,
- 25:33on a computer, you know, and it wasn't perfect.
- 25:36The music was like too loud and there's just stuff wrong with
- 25:38it. But I think people related just
- 25:40because it was, you know, it was just, it was just a guy.
- 25:43I'm just a guy, you know, I had some research.
- 25:45I, I put it together. I tried to put it in a coherent
- 25:48sequence and I, I published it September 2011 and didn't think
- 25:55anything of it. It was just more like, I, I'm
- 25:56just going to put it out there, see what happens, you know, just
- 25:59have fun. And then with, before the end of
- 26:02the year, I think it was, there was like 30 or 40,000 views and
- 26:05I was like, Oh my gosh, that is, that's way beyond what I thought
- 26:08would you know, it would do. This is, this is amazing.
- 26:11And then in the next few months into 2012, quickly hit 100,200
- 26:18thousand. And I think by the end of the
- 26:20year, it was already, or the end of 2012, it had surpassed
- 26:221,000,000 views. And it was like, I, I don't even
- 26:25know what happened. I, I didn't do anything, I
- 26:27didn't promote this. I have done nothing.
- 26:29I don't know why it's getting so many views, but there and then
- 26:32there it was like people knew about Face like the Sun and Age
- 26:34of deceit. And I guess it was being shared
- 26:37on social media everywhere and people were mirroring it.
- 26:39I encouraged people to just, you know, download the video and
- 26:42share it on your own platform. And I didn't care about all
- 26:45that. I just wanted the the
- 26:46information to get out. So that happened in yeah, 2011,
- 26:502012. And that allowed me to leverage
- 26:54that and say, OK, well, do you guys want to hear more from me?
- 26:57I got a commentary on other things.
- 26:58So I started making videos about other things, just stuff
- 27:02happening in the world and I picked up steam and by the end
- 27:05of actually, I think it was by March of 2012.
- 27:08So I guess it was even earlier than that.
- 27:11You know, one piece of the let me go back, let me go back to
- 27:15September 2011 when I published the documentary.
- 27:18I was working at a church and I was a tech, so I was doing a
- 27:23lot. It was a kind of a bigger
- 27:24church. It's a, it was like a junior
- 27:26mega church. So, you know, not like a full
- 27:28blown, but it was it was pretty big.
- 27:30And I was actually working with Basil, my Co host for Canary
- 27:34Cry, and we had been actually in the same room.
- 27:37Basil probably told the other side of the story, but we were
- 27:40in the same tech room. He was doing like video stuff
- 27:43and my whole audio thing was on the other side of the room.
- 27:48And literally for about I don't, I don't know how long, couple
- 27:51months maybe. We were back-to-back every
- 27:53single day. And it was like, Hey, what's up?
- 27:56Hey, what's up, you know? And it was nothing, no
- 27:58conversation, nothing. He was just working, doing our
- 28:00thing. And then it was we would do
- 28:02these tech Bible studies once a week.
- 28:05And on one of the Bible studies, he, Basil, brought up Occupy
- 28:13Wall Street. This is how far back it goes,
- 28:15but he brought up Occupy Wall Street.
- 28:17He was very passionate about it and all this stuff.
- 28:19And I was like, oh, that's interesting.
- 28:20You know, this is sort of in the conspiracy realm and not sort of
- 28:23toeing the line of what's politically correct and all
- 28:27this. So we started chatting and it
- 28:30quickly evolved into talking about the Bible and talking
- 28:33about different weird things. And of course, we brought up the
- 28:37Nephilim. And the Nephilim stuff really
- 28:39sort of blew his mind. It was like, really, this is in
- 28:41the Bible. And I'm like, yeah, dude, you
- 28:42should check out this guy named Melanie Marsui.
- 28:44And, you know, already been in it for a couple years, but it
- 28:46was it was cool to see his, his his whole paradigm sort of makes
- 28:51sense because he was coming at it from all that stuff
- 28:53previously and he'd grown up in a more charismatic Christian
- 28:59upbringing. So he was in it.
- 29:01He was in a lot of the the stuff.
- 29:02So, but he didn't necessarily have the scriptures there to
- 29:07explain everything. Although I think there were more
- 29:10things that he understood then than I did at the time even.
- 29:13But so we started talking and we were like, man, we're having
- 29:15these great conversations. Let's hit record.
- 29:19We're sitting in this room, There's microphones.
- 29:22I know how to record. There's this big really
- 29:24oversized and overpriced mixing board that gets used barely
- 29:29because, you know, somebody donated way too much money for
- 29:33their stuff and they had to buy big gear.
- 29:35And they only use one out of like the 600 channels they have
- 29:38on this mixing board. So let's let's just give it a go
- 29:41and do it. And it's hilariously the first
- 29:43episode ever is edited because our boss, there's a moment where
- 29:47we're doing the podcast and our boss looks through the, the door
- 29:52window. There's like a door window.
- 29:54I, I still remember his face like just looking at us like,
- 29:57what are you guys doing? And we were like, so we had to
- 30:00stop and kind of talk to him about what we're doing.
- 30:03And he told us it wasn't Kingdom work.
- 30:04Like we had to show him the website and everything.
- 30:06And he told us the whole Canary cry thing was not Kingdom work
- 30:08at the time. So, you know, again, we faced
- 30:10some, some challenges along the way, but it was, we just, you
- 30:15know, did remote Skype, that sort of thing.
- 30:17And we kept going and we were able to connect with people that
- 30:21interview people. And, and that thing was, it was
- 30:24fun. It was a lot of fun.
- 30:26I was an audio engineer. So and I say was I, I mean,
- 30:28we're still doing it. And in 2016 we'd switched it
- 30:31over to more of a news deconstruction model.
- 30:35We're still doing the interview and topical stuff with Canary
- 30:38Cry Radio, and we'll get back on that horse a little bit more now
- 30:41that the the film is ready to go here in a few weeks.
- 30:44But that that's been sort of the journey.
- 30:47I've been doing that for over a decade now.
- 30:49It's 2024. So yeah, 13 years of just online
- 30:53ministry of breaking stuff down, trying to stay grounded.
- 30:57And it's not easy on at times, and it's definitely not popular
- 31:01most of the time to say the nuanced thing or the narrow path
- 31:06thing. But that's, that's sort of been
- 31:08the way I've tried to approach things.
- 31:11You know, the one of the big cool things that I've discovered
- 31:15from this is that the word of God really addresses all the
- 31:20issues. I mean, past, present, future,
- 31:23especially future, and in a, in a way that is applicable not
- 31:28just at the personal level, but also societal and then obviously
- 31:33cosmic. And so it's really a full scale
- 31:36type of thing when you, when you start to, at least for me, when
- 31:38I started seeing all this, it's like, OK, it explains world
- 31:42events. It explains my own, you know, my
- 31:46own pitfalls, my own sort of struggles in life, my own giants
- 31:50that I'm battling, but also literal giants, you know, it, it
- 31:53just goes through everything. And that was profound to me.
- 31:56And that's a message that I really hope people resonate with
- 32:00and are able to basically dig into stuff I've dug into.
- 32:04And, you know, I'm, I don't expect people to believe
- 32:07everything I believe or think the way I think or anything like
- 32:09that. In fact, I, I hope that everyone
- 32:11has a little bit of a, a difference with nuance and on
- 32:14different topics because I'm just one person.
- 32:16I'm doing what I can, but, you know, I'm sharing my thoughts
- 32:18and, and my reaction to things. But yeah, go back to the word of
- 32:21God, go back to the Holy Spirit, go get into prayer and, and you
- 32:25know, find, find whatever the Lord wants to show you.
- 32:27But in terms of building a community online with this,
- 32:31that's been the coolest part is seeing so many people message me
- 32:34and say, Hey, this is, you know, this has brought me back to
- 32:37church or this made me open the Bible back up or, you know, I
- 32:40got baptized or all that stuff. All those testimonials that I
- 32:43received over the years, that's been the coolest part for me.
- 32:46And, and that's why I always give praise to God.
- 32:48It's like, OK, this is a God thing.
- 32:49This is not, this is not because God's is so smart and I'm so
- 32:53brilliant and charismatic and I, you know, no, it's because God
- 32:57is good. And for whatever reason, he
- 32:59chose me to just do this little fringe weird podcast and has
- 33:04helped us survive over the years doing it value for value.
- 33:09So not really getting into the advertising game.
- 33:10And I, I can go into a whole journey about that too, because
- 33:14it was, there's an, an economic side to this that was really
- 33:18interesting for me where early on when I first published the
- 33:23film, people were like, Hey, how do we donate?
- 33:25And it was like, well, I wasn't really expecting money, but OK,
- 33:27if you guys going to donate, then here's a PayPal link or
- 33:29something. And then people were like, Hey,
- 33:31where do we get the DVD? And it's like, well, I don't, I
- 33:33don't make DVDs, but if you guys want DVDs, then I'll, I'll make
- 33:37some DVDs and I'll, you guys can have them.
- 33:38So it was, it was kind of like that.
- 33:40That's how everything happened. And then when YouTube came and
- 33:43was like, Hey, you got a million views on your thing.
- 33:46You got, you're getting 10s of thousands of views on your
- 33:48channel. Would you like to partner with
- 33:50us for an advertisement thing, you know, for Adsense?
- 33:54It was like, OK, yeah, sure. That that sounds, you know, at
- 33:56the time I don't, I didn't know much about what was going on,
- 33:58but it was like, OK, this is how people make money from this.
- 34:01If you have a a presence online on YouTube or something, OK,
- 34:05let's do that partnership. And you know what, it was sort
- 34:09of lucrative for a couple years. You know that I think 2013, 2014
- 34:14ish. It was like, oh, OK, I can make
- 34:16a video about this and it'll get 10s of thousands of views or
- 34:20hundreds of thousands of views in a, a, a couple days.
- 34:23And I get, I get a paycheck every month.
- 34:27And, you know, it was like a game.
- 34:28It was like, oh, OK, cool. I'm just going to keep pumping
- 34:30out content, pump out content more, more views equals more
- 34:33money. And you get into that mode.
- 34:34And it's not because you want to sacrifice your message or
- 34:37anything. It was just like, oh, YouTube
- 34:39gamified it, you know, and, and they made it so the content
- 34:42creators want to publish certain types of content.
- 34:45And what's interesting is that at the end of 2014, so this is a
- 34:51couple years into that whole thing where I'm like, oh wow,
- 34:53this is amazing. I can make a little bit of money
- 34:54on the side here doing this. All of a sudden, the topic of
- 34:58Flat Earth became, I don't know, it was like the center of
- 35:01attention for everybody in the conspiracy world.
- 35:05And that started an entire different trajectory for the
- 35:10general umbrella term truth community or truth movement or
- 35:14truther type of stuff. Because all of a sudden everyone
- 35:18just wanted to figure out if the Earth was flat or round and
- 35:21nobody cared about other stuff. Nobody cared about the
- 35:23Illuminati or the New World Order or the Freemasons or like
- 35:26all these evil people do. No, it was all that they were
- 35:28hiding, the fact that the Earth is, is actually flat.
- 35:31And look, I'm not conclusive on the topic, but it was weird.
- 35:34It was weird that it became a topic.
- 35:36And by 2015, I think Canary cried radio.
- 35:39We were one of the first people to to interview some of the
- 35:44folks on YouTube that were talking about this from the
- 35:46somewhat biblical perspective. Not everybody was there was a, a
- 35:49guy named Eric Dubai or Dubai, I guess Dubai, who is coming at it
- 35:53from a new age angle. Mark Sargent, who we interviewed
- 35:56was coming at it from, I don't know, he was sort of a secular
- 35:59view, but he, he sort of, I don't know, alluded to the Bible
- 36:02a couple times to make his points.
- 36:04But it was a fascinating topic. And interestingly enough, the
- 36:07Flat Earth topic is an old theological slash cosmological,
- 36:12you know, in her in house church topic that was dominated by more
- 36:16so the flat view for centuries. So it's an interesting,
- 36:20interesting topic in general and debate, I guess.
- 36:22But we we did the interview with Mark Sargent and then the the
- 36:27late Rob Skiba. I don't know if you you probably
- 36:29know Rob, Rob Skiba by name Joe. Yeah.
- 36:32So Rob Skiba came across that interview and he went all the
- 36:36way down that Flat Earth rabbit trail.
- 36:37He blames us, you know, he blamed us on air couple years
- 36:40later, he's like, I blame you guys.
- 36:42I was listening to that episode thinking this ridiculous topic
- 36:44and now I'm, you know, written a couple books on it or whatever.
- 36:47So but it, it changed the way going back to the economic
- 36:51thing. It changed the way money was
- 36:53being made because all of a sudden if you talked about Flat
- 36:55Earth, no money, no Adsense money, none of the advertisers
- 36:58were like, no, no, we're not going to advertise on Flat Earth
- 37:00videos. So it was this weird thing where
- 37:03it, it divided. There was an economic incentive
- 37:06that split, you know, the the truth community when it comes
- 37:11to, you know, what kind of content people want and what
- 37:14kind of content people are getting paid to make on YouTube.
- 37:17And so that started that. And by 2016 we got Trump.
- 37:20So you know that that thing was that thing completely.
- 37:23It was. But, you know, for us, it was
- 37:24kind of like long time. It was like, all right, we see
- 37:26something coming here. We see way too much left
- 37:30progressive momentum. It's going to swing the other
- 37:33way. And of course, Trump rode that
- 37:35way. I mean, he did it brilliantly.
- 37:36You know, he really tapped into that a crowd of people that were
- 37:40feeling disenfranchised about the country and everything else
- 37:43and, and got their vote for 2016.
- 37:45I, I guess so. But yeah.
- 37:47And then since then, I mean, again, we started news talk and
- 37:51we've been breaking down stuff since and yeah, it's been fun.
- 37:55It's been fun. It's been really a good learning
- 37:58experience along the way. And you know, it's, it's funny
- 38:02because we're sort of documenting our journey, our,
- 38:06our mind journey when it comes to what we think about the
- 38:11world. And, and what I've noticed is
- 38:12that the core principles have not changed.
- 38:15Jesus Christ is Lord, The Bible is the word of God.
- 38:19It tells the truth before you know, it's, it's tells the
- 38:22beginning from the end. It, I mean, it just, I don't
- 38:25know, it's, it's bigger than all of us.
- 38:27It's, it's, it extends and expands beyond our perceptions
- 38:32And it's really everything. So that that hasn't changed.
- 38:35And I think maybe I've gotten more cynical over the years.
- 38:39Like, I used to not want to joke around as much, but now I'm just
- 38:44like, man, everything is ridiculous.
- 38:45So you either cry or you laugh. So I chose laughter.
- 38:50And hopefully people will, you know, relate to that as time
- 38:53goes on. Powerful testimony is very
- 38:56interesting how God is working all of this together to wake up
- 39:01each generation. It's almost like in stages,
- 39:05yeah. You see the stuff kind of like
- 39:07peel back and then you see you just see like, not to prescribe,
- 39:14you know, names of biblical characters to people today, but
- 39:17we I believe we're seeing a generation of Joshua and Caleb's
- 39:20that are starting to rise up in the midst of the the the
- 39:24nightmare, the mess of 1,000,000 messages and signals that cause
- 39:27confusion and chaos. Premises of the podcast here,
- 39:30right. And your story is just powerful,
- 39:32man, because you really can see how your long journey and, and
- 39:38how God was kind of nudging you and showing you certain things,
- 39:41'cause I look around today and I feel like that that's like,
- 39:45that's a boot camp that certain people are going through now.
- 39:48Like there's so much that you brought up that I resonate with.
- 39:50Like, wow, yeah, that's, that's amazing.
- 39:55And it gives hope, you know, people that are like, hey, I'm
- 39:59not alone. There is a community of people
- 40:02out here that think like this. This is a a thought process that
- 40:05I'm not crazy. This is common.
- 40:07It's just, you know, technology is used by by the enemy, right,
- 40:11the Prince of the power of the heirs, but it also can be used
- 40:14for good. And that's what I see with what
- 40:17you have done. And and Ali Marzulli, Doctor
- 40:20Michael Heizer, right? I mean, the list goes on and on
- 40:23of people that have went out and said, listen, we're going to do
- 40:26things a little bit different. So it's very encouraging, man.
- 40:29Age of Deceit 4. Let's jump into it, man.
- 40:31You, you have a lot going on here.
- 40:34Yeah. What should we expect with Age
- 40:36of Deceit 4? What's kind of going on?
- 40:38Give us the inside scoop, if you don't mind.
- 40:40Yeah, so. One of the topics that I I
- 40:44didn't mention that Basil and I were resonating about when we
- 40:48first started having conversations was transhumanism.
- 40:52It's the topic of, I think everybody knows what it is now,
- 40:57but in 2011, 2012, if you brought up transhumanism with
- 41:01everybody, anybody, they would look at you like you had eight
- 41:03heads. It was like, what are you
- 41:04talking about? But it's it's basically the idea
- 41:07that humanity will ascend to a higher state of being or a high,
- 41:12more evolved state of being through the use and application
- 41:16of science and technology. So it was an interesting topic
- 41:19because, you know, I mentioned David Wilcock earlier and how he
- 41:23was talking about ascension and all this stuff.
- 41:24He was more talking about it as some kind of supernatural
- 41:27galactic wave, but he was also talking about the technologies
- 41:32that would assist in this new paradigm.
- 41:34And that, that the, the, I guess it was sort of the realization
- 41:41that, you know, this new body talk in First Corinthians 15,
- 41:46There's a real version of it. There's an actual, real version
- 41:50of this whole thing because Jesus displayed it.
- 41:53He, he died, he rose from the dead and he had a, he had a
- 41:56bodily resurrection. And if you study your Bible,
- 42:00he's going to have a physical bodily return, a second coming
- 42:04to judge and, you know, to restore things.
- 42:07So a physical body, often times people think of heaven as sort
- 42:11of this wispy, ethereal thing that you're somewhere, you know,
- 42:15not physical and there you are, you're walking around in in some
- 42:18kind of a body, but it's not, you know, it's not like a
- 42:21physical body, but all indications are that we are
- 42:24promised this physical body. And so the technology that's
- 42:28going to take us there. What is that?
- 42:30Well, it seems like a counterfeit.
- 42:31It's all taking what God is meant for good and, and the
- 42:36enemy trying to use it for his own because the enemy of course,
- 42:39believes he is God, right? Or he's better than God.
- 42:42You got the Isaiah 13 five I wills you know I will ascend
- 42:45above your throne and all this kind of stuff he talks about how
- 42:47he's better or he is God. So he's going to do all the
- 42:50things that make him or make the world believe that he is God.
- 42:54And, and that trajectory of technology and science was
- 43:01informed, people like me and Basil about stuff that might go
- 43:05down like a pandemic and a lockdown and a vaccine that, you
- 43:11know, passed through trials and tests and all that.
- 43:15They usually take over a decade or something in a few months.
- 43:18So all those things that prepared us to least understand
- 43:22what was happening. And it was also the lockdowns.
- 43:24I think people started to see the term transhumanism as part
- 43:27of the, the grand conspiracy relating to all the stuff with
- 43:31COVID. So, you know, people are more
- 43:32aware of the topic now, but I bring it up because I had
- 43:34always, always been tracking this topic of technology and
- 43:37science integrating with the human body.
- 43:40And what does that mean? You know, it made sense to me
- 43:42when I looked at I think it was Daniel verse or chapter 2, verse
- 43:4743 where it talks about iron not mixing with miry clay.
- 43:50And it was more traditionally from people like Ellie Marzulli.
- 43:55It was more like, oh, this is talking about the, the basically
- 43:59the sons of God and the daughters of Adam.
- 44:00Again, some kind of intervention, not intervention
- 44:06intermingling. Intermingling.
- 44:08Yeah, between. The fallen angels or the rebel
- 44:10angels and humans. And that certainly made sense.
- 44:13But also in the context of transhumanism, iron and clay
- 44:18being, you know, the human being and this whole passage being
- 44:20about iron not mixing with clay. I there is a coherent commentary
- 44:24about how it's, you know, it's, it's different.
- 44:26It's royalty versus the common person.
- 44:29And yeah, they'll marry the and it's part of the fall of Rome
- 44:33and they're going to try to marry outside of their family
- 44:35and do the thing, but it's not going to work and all this.
- 44:37So that makes sense in the context of Rome.
- 44:40But also in 20, you know, in the 20 tens, twenty 20s, you read
- 44:43that and it's like, oh, wow. Is this talking about like a
- 44:47some kind of literal mixing of an element with clay that
- 44:52represents the human body and how it won't cleave to one
- 44:56another, meaning that that it won't mix, you know, so that's,
- 44:59that's an interesting thought when it comes to what
- 45:01transhumanism is, what all this technology stuff up with the
- 45:04brain, computer interfaces and all these things, what they
- 45:07actually might be doing to our bodies.
- 45:10And within that I started looking at cryptocurrencies
- 45:15because what's a big topic in eschatology?
- 45:18Mark of the beast. Everyone knows about the mark of
- 45:20the beast. Calculate the number of the name
- 45:226661. I guess one transcript has 616,
- 45:27but I think most people agree that it's the original language
- 45:31had the 666. But in any case, a lot of talk
- 45:37over the years about what the mark of the beast might be, bar
- 45:40codes, credit cards, you know, just tattoos in general, and of
- 45:44course, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency in the last decade or so.
- 45:47It's like, yeah, of course, yeah, 'cause this is the mark of
- 45:49the beast. Here it is.
- 45:51That was my initial reaction. It was like, yeah, this is
- 45:53another mark of the beast thing. It's a digital technology and
- 45:57it's going to, you know, it's going to fulfil this prophecy
- 46:00about how the image of the beast, which could be a hologram
- 46:03or some kind of, you know, computer screen thing.
- 46:06That or at the time, we didn't use the phrase metaverse, but
- 46:09some kind of virtual realm entity that mimics the human
- 46:13being, some kind of AI that appears to have life, the image
- 46:16that has breath as described in Revelation 13.
- 46:20Maybe it's some kind of machine or a hologram or something.
- 46:23And you have a digital money to go along with that.
- 46:25And if you don't have your mark on the right hand or the
- 46:27forehead, then you can't participate in this digital
- 46:29economy. Makes sense.
- 46:30Yep, Bible prophecy. But what I found was that
- 46:35initially it was like, OK, yeah, that's, that's sort of my
- 46:36initial reaction. That's sort of the, the standard
- 46:40reaction if you're, if you're familiar with any kind of Bible
- 46:43prophecy stuff, it doesn't matter if you disagree on the
- 46:46rapture timing or whatever. If you're familiar with anything
- 46:48with the Bible, especially Revelation, then you know, you
- 46:51first hear about Bitcoin and it's like, Oh yeah, this is it,
- 46:53this is it right here. Mark of the beast.
- 46:56The, the type of I started digging into the actual
- 46:59technology and I'm not super duper technical, but I, I feel
- 47:04that I can keep up with. I don't know how to code
- 47:07entirely or anything like that, but I have a, a loose grasp of
- 47:10stuff. My college roommates were
- 47:13computer science majors. So I have, I have a general
- 47:15understanding of what, you know, how some of that works.
- 47:18And I started looking at, I looked at the Bitcoin white
- 47:20paper and I started looking at why people were really stoked
- 47:24about Bitcoin. This is about 2016 now.
- 47:26So right around the time everyone was distracted with
- 47:29Trump and politics and everyone was being harvested into, you
- 47:34know, the truth community was being harvested into a political
- 47:36party. But I was looking at
- 47:38cryptocurrencies thinking, OK, this is interesting.
- 47:41Why, why are these people into it?
- 47:45And I, I started to learn that, oh, the people that are into it
- 47:48are anarchists, They are libertarians.
- 47:52These are people that were traditionally gold bugs.
- 47:55And I understood the problem with the monetary system, with
- 47:58the Fiat system and how I think everybody is up to speed on that
- 48:03now. And if you're not, I mean, you
- 48:05know, I think the last three years was a big education on how
- 48:08all this stuff works where, you know, people start asking really
- 48:11legitimate questions like, hey, why am I paying taxes if the
- 48:15government can just print money at will?
- 48:18There is no cap to the amount of money that we can print.
- 48:21Can't we just print my taxes? Like, why are we, why do we have
- 48:24to give money back? So people start asking those
- 48:26types of questions. Back in 2016, it was more along
- 48:29the lines of the G Edward Griffith creature from Jekyll
- 48:34Island concept where the central bank was created in the dead of
- 48:38night in 1913, I think it was right around Christmas break,
- 48:42there was a, a, a collusion of bankers and stuff that were
- 48:45like, hey, let's get together, let's make sure we have this
- 48:47entity, the central bank, and so we can control the monetary
- 48:50system in the United States. And by 1933, they, they
- 48:54confiscated everybody's gold. And then in 1971 they went off
- 48:58the gold standard. And, you know, there was no hard
- 49:01cap. There was no limit to the supply
- 49:03of the US dollar. The dollar just became an IOUA
- 49:06piece of paper. And again, it's it's you know,
- 49:09if you think, look at all that and you're like, oh, wow, you're
- 49:11this old monetary system. The monetary system we're in
- 49:14right now is one giant magic trick.
- 49:16It is, it is unbelievable. We're all buying into this magic
- 49:19trick. This piece of paper right here,
- 49:21it says one, this other piece of paper, it says 100 and you're
- 49:25supposed to give me more stuff because I'm giving you this
- 49:27piece of paper that says 100. It's absurd when you think about
- 49:30what's actually happening. So, you know, realizing all that
- 49:34and thinking, OK, is there I see it now.
- 49:36I, I, I, I these people that are really into Bitcoin and
- 49:39cryptocurrencies, they are looking at this from a
- 49:42perspective of, hey, this is a better money.
- 49:45And it's because some of the stuff going on under the hood,
- 49:49which goes into decentralization and distributed Ledger
- 49:53technology. These are all things that
- 49:56supports Bitcoin and how it works.
- 49:59And really, if you learn about what that is, you'll you'll
- 50:02understand that, you know, this is probably how the Internet
- 50:04should have been built from the beginning, which is basically,
- 50:07hey, anybody that has a computer pop on, we're going to verify
- 50:12this big Ledger together and make sure that nobody's playing
- 50:15any hanky panky. But that's not how it got
- 50:17developed. You know, it got developed with
- 50:19centralized authorities, the CIA, whoever, getting into
- 50:22different companies and using corporations and, you know,
- 50:25having control of the servers where all the Internet data is
- 50:28stored and and, you know, transferred and moved around and
- 50:31everything. And it's sort of a closed
- 50:33system. Well, Bitcoin changes that
- 50:35because all of a sudden the money is not something that is
- 50:40hidden behind, you know, the doors of the government or the
- 50:43doors of some corporation. It's just this open code
- 50:46software. Everyone can see it.
- 50:47Everyone can analyze the code. You can run the code on your
- 50:51home computer and validate that the the Ledger here that is, you
- 50:55know, verifying every transaction is maintained.
- 50:59Is that the blockchain? Technology.
- 51:00That's blockchain technology, yeah, so.
- 51:02Anybody can participate. But you know what's interesting,
- 51:04the whole time I'm going, anyone can participate.
- 51:07Kind of like the mark of the beast.
- 51:08Anybody can get it, you know, right here.
- 51:10So, so there's like this, this parallel, there was this duality
- 51:13even within me where it was like I see the immediate use case.
- 51:17I see how this is solving all of these problems with central
- 51:21banks and Fiat and the dollar. And you know that you can get
- 51:25into all people rant every single day on all kinds of
- 51:28podcasts about the problem with our monetary system.
- 51:31Now, you know, it's, it's, it's a very popular thing to do
- 51:33because it's, it's become more and more obvious that it is an
- 51:36issue. And you know, there's not much
- 51:39of AAA way for regular people to to do anything about it, you
- 51:43know, but all of a sudden there's a quarter out of chaos
- 51:45with it. It could, like, is that kind of
- 51:48like alien dialectic in a sense? Yeah, Yeah, yeah, of course.
- 51:51Yeah. A a longer play with that
- 51:53because, yeah, you have this problem, decades of a problem
- 51:57and and then you have this solution that's digital that
- 52:00lets everybody participate. So it's like, OK, all right,
- 52:04with transparency. With transparency, yeah, yeah.
- 52:08And it's it's, it's semi. Transparency so for for people
- 52:11that don't know how that works. So every transaction that's ever
- 52:15happened on the Bitcoin network, all, it's all it is, it's a
- 52:19network. Every transaction that's ever
- 52:21happened is recorded in blocks of data.
- 52:25So once it fills up a block of data, it closes and it creates a
- 52:29chain to another block. And then you know that as the
- 52:33transaction fills up on that block, it closes and it creates
- 52:36another block and it creates a a long chain over time.
- 52:39And the network of computers are there to validate that chain.
- 52:46So, so all this you can't come in and say, you know what, my
- 52:48transaction in 2019, I, I didn't really do that.
- 52:51See, I'm going to try to change the Ledger.
- 52:53Well, no, you have, you know, upwards more, more than 13,000
- 52:58nodes all over the world and probably more that aren't, you
- 53:01know, accounted for maintaining this Ledger and saying no, no,
- 53:04no, no, no, we have the, the real Ledger here that all of us
- 53:08are maintaining. And your transaction doesn't
- 53:10jive, you are rejected. So you can't, you can't, you
- 53:14know, go back and change things on this blockchain, it becomes
- 53:17immutable. So every transaction is
- 53:19immutable. It's, it's a crazy thought, but
- 53:21that's, it's, it's the big revolution of what Bitcoin did,
- 53:24which is it made digital things uneditable.
- 53:28Because, you know, up until that point, copy, paste, man, you can
- 53:32just copy paste anything on the Internet.
- 53:33You could text, pictures, whatever.
- 53:35You can copy, paste, copy, paste, copy, paste.
- 53:37Anything that's digital can be copy pasted.
- 53:40Well, all of a sudden this technology comes out where it's
- 53:42maintained by this Ledger and this distributed Ledger
- 53:44technology where you can't do that.
- 53:46You can't mess with the code, you can't mess with the the
- 53:49Ledger itself. And it just changed how digital
- 53:55things work. And so it's it's quite
- 53:58revolutionary. It makes sense.
- 54:00So that's where I was like, OK, this is revolutionary.
- 54:04This is probably going to get big.
- 54:07This is going to be big, you know, in 20/16/2017.
- 54:10Actually, it was funny because I have a whole separate sort of
- 54:14crypto journey when it comes to my own, I don't know, lack of
- 54:20knowledge and savvy. And you know, because all of a
- 54:23sudden you start looking into Bitcoin.
- 54:25That's one thing to learn about the knowledge.
- 54:26But you know, I was curious about the investment side too.
- 54:29You know, I, I didn't have, I don't have a big savings account
- 54:32or a trust or anything like that.
- 54:33You know, I didn't, I didn't know, I didn't learn anything
- 54:36about four O 1 KS or retirement funds or, you know, I just was
- 54:41not part of my upbringing. So it was like, all right, maybe
- 54:44this is something that can help me out with the, with my, my
- 54:48savings and stuff. So I started putting in little
- 54:51bits of money into Bitcoin in 2016.
- 54:54And in 2017 there was a huge run.
- 54:57Bitcoin went from under $1000 to $20,000 in a year.
- 55:03And I was looking at myself like, I'm a genius, I'm so
- 55:06smart, this is great, this is fantastic.
- 55:08You know, I'm, I, I'm always ahead of the game, you know, all
- 55:11this kind of stuff. But of course, if you don't sell
- 55:13it, then, you know, you ride it all back down.
- 55:16And that's what happened in 2018.
- 55:18It get peaked out. And then because I didn't know
- 55:20what was going on, I watched it go to $20,000 and then go all
- 55:23the way back down to like $3000 or so.
- 55:26I think it was. I think it was 3000 was the
- 55:28lowest. And yeah, it was just kind of
- 55:30like, and then I saw it rise again and it was just this crazy
- 55:34emotional roller coaster. And so.
- 55:37But so there's a whole side of experimenting with web three and
- 55:41everything all just trying to stay out of the curb with some
- 55:44of that because it is value for value.
- 55:47It is sort of the next stage of social media.
- 55:51And so I think it's important to at least get my feet wet to
- 55:55know, OK, let's make sure that if a whole bunch of people, a
- 55:59whole bunch of believers especially, are going to be
- 56:00diving into this in the next few years, that believers have
- 56:04treaded in that area and know not where, you know, put up
- 56:07signs is like, Hey, this is a little dangerous over here.
- 56:10This is safe over here. Just put up some guidelines
- 56:12because it's the Wild West, man. I've clicked on buttons, I've
- 56:16clicked on links where I just get drained like my my whole
- 56:19wallet with stuff in it like NFTS or whatever gone just
- 56:23because I clicked on a, a bad link.
- 56:25So it it can happen it it's really and you can't call
- 56:28anybody. There's, you know, you can't
- 56:29call so well, look, can I? Pose Just a thought I'm having.
- 56:32Of course, all of this do. You think that it's?
- 56:35Going to require a is governance because it's the the over
- 56:38complexities of the entire thing.
- 56:40Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, no, this is, this is where
- 56:43it's all headed. Yeah.
- 56:45Where I, I think AI is because what we're building is so beyond
- 56:50the scope of any individual human or even group of humans to
- 56:55sift through AI is, is going to do that for us and the danger
- 57:00here. And so let me get into more
- 57:02specifically the age of deceit force stuff, because that's that
- 57:04was all kind of leading up to what I started noticing when I
- 57:08was doing this research was that there was a lot of documentation
- 57:13from, you know, scientific journals, you know, the, the
- 57:17government, various documents they've made public was talking
- 57:22about the effects of Bitcoin and how it or, or not just Bitcoin,
- 57:29but more specifically, it was distributed systems like
- 57:32distributed ledgers and distributed computing systems
- 57:36and how they were reflecting biological properties.
- 57:41And that's when I was like, woah, woah, woah, woah, OK, wait
- 57:44a minute. Now we're talking about
- 57:47computers that are starting to exhibit biological properties.
- 57:55I had to learn more. I was like, I need to know more
- 57:56because I've talked about synthetic biology over the years
- 57:59and you know, all that kind of stuff, CRISPR tech and all this.
- 58:02But and, and I knew about Bitcoin and I knew about how
- 58:05this all works, but there wasn't anything that was like, there
- 58:09has to be something a little bit more going on here.
- 58:11And for example, let me just give you an example from the
- 58:15National Library of Medicine. This is the NIH website.
- 58:18So, you know, during COVID, a lot of people visited the NIH
- 58:22dot Gov website to look at a bunch of articles that they've
- 58:25published, right, that they, they reveal certain things about
- 58:28what they're really doing. Well, there was a, a study here
- 58:31published back in 2020, July, and it is titled from microbial
- 58:37communities to Distributed Computing systems.
- 58:41And it talks about how they define a distributed biological
- 58:47system as, you know, a group of subpopulations that communicate
- 58:52and coordinate actions through interpopulation messages and
- 58:56interactions. And that's, you know, you see
- 58:59that in nature from from, you know, microbial communities to
- 59:01flocks of birds and, you know, various things.
- 59:04You see it in, in nature. Well, they're saying, yeah,
- 59:07we're noticing the same kind of effects with block chains
- 59:12because it's an ecosystem. There's information that gets
- 59:15carried out and then change their behavior based on that
- 59:18information. And so the NIH, the National
- 59:23Institute of Health, has a paper right now that was published in
- 59:262020 arguing that block chains resemble biology, like the
- 59:32biological world. So here we have saying that a
- 59:37computing system is like an animal and, you know, connecting
- 59:42that to the beasts in Daniel seven.
- 59:46Yeah, Daniel seven in Revelation 13, where you have the lion, the
- 59:51leopard and the bear and the 4th terrifying beast, which in
- 59:55Revelation 13 seems to reveal that it's a it's a conglomerate
- 59:59of those first three beasts. It seems to be, there seems to
- 1:00:02be something there. Maybe God wasn't.
- 1:00:04Of course, God doesn't make mistakes to choose beasts and
- 1:00:08particular animals to represent this final beast system.
- 1:00:12There may have been more to it than just analogy and metaphor.
- 1:00:16It may be there's something literally biological, like an
- 1:00:20animal type of thing going on. And that's where you got AI
- 1:00:26reflecting on the minds of these entities.
- 1:00:29And then you have the literal blockchain helping to carry out
- 1:00:35the, the body or the the network itself, the ecosystem itself,
- 1:00:39throughout the world, throughout the world, throughout the world,
- 1:00:45throughout the world. And now we talk about network
- 1:00:57States and those are ideas we can get into a little bit later.
- 1:01:01But it, it just compelled me because in Age of Deceit 3, I
- 1:01:05did a full breakdown of those animals and I was looking at it
- 1:01:08and I knew something was up with it.
- 1:01:09I didn't have the whole, you know, blockchain biology stuff
- 1:01:11back in 2018 when I was publishing Age of Deceit 3, I
- 1:01:16had some notes on it and I, I knew of the topic because it
- 1:01:19was, you know, I had some links and stuff that I had saved from
- 1:01:23earlier. But the at the time, in 2018, I
- 1:01:26broke down some of the character traits of the animals.
- 1:01:30So with the leopard, you study leopards in the Bible in
- 1:01:33general, and you find that, you know, there's a passage about a
- 1:01:36leopard watching from outside the gates of the city.
- 1:01:41You know, he's, he's watching, waiting for the people to leave
- 1:01:44so he can devour them. And it's sort of reminiscent of
- 1:01:47this total surveillance state that we live in, that it's kind
- 1:01:51of like the leopard. We're being watched all the time
- 1:01:53we have and, and they're always sort of the a threat to devour
- 1:01:57us. It's a very interesting, if you
- 1:01:58go outside the lines, you can get devoured.
- 1:02:00It resembles the leopard beast. Then you have the bear, which I
- 1:02:04find most interesting because you have the three ribs in its
- 1:02:09teeth. It was like up on its side.
- 1:02:11And the three ribs. You talk about ribs and you know
- 1:02:16that in Genesis 3, the woman was made from a rib of Adam, Adam's
- 1:02:22rib. And it was, you know, people
- 1:02:24have described it as some kind of surgical process there where
- 1:02:29you have Adam go into a deep sleep, God takes out a rib and
- 1:02:34the rib becomes woman. And you have this bear here,
- 1:02:36this eschatological bear have three ribs in its teeth.
- 1:02:42And I thought, wow, could this be some kind of indication or
- 1:02:46symbol that represents the biological changes in in our
- 1:02:51world today, like literally changing our DNA, our biology
- 1:02:55with people have talked about the third strand of DNA, the
- 1:02:58synthetic DNA and that kind of stuff.
- 1:03:00Here's a crazy thought that just popped.
- 1:03:01Into my head with that, OK, the three ribs would.
- 1:03:04Could that also have to do with the three monotheistic religions
- 1:03:09that are predominantly known around the world?
- 1:03:12That's a good one. Yeah, I mean, it could be the
- 1:03:14unholy Trinity 3 is a very powerful number, so it's
- 1:03:17definitely got sorry, I just that one.
- 1:03:19Was like jumping out. I'm like, oh, I gotta say this.
- 1:03:21No, it's always multi layered. Like I say this, everything's
- 1:03:25multi faceted, multi layered. It's circum punct.
- 1:03:28But anyway dude, I'm loving everything.
- 1:03:32So, yeah, the, the, so they got the teeth there with the three
- 1:03:35ribs and that was very compelling to me.
- 1:03:38And just as a side note, this is very much against the
- 1:03:41traditional interpretations of the lion, the bear and the, the
- 1:03:45leopard that you get. And so I, I understand that.
- 1:03:47And so I'm not like, I'm not too dogmatic about it because I
- 1:03:50don't want, you know, I don't need like the Gon's view of, of,
- 1:03:54you know, whatever. And people getting mad and
- 1:03:56debating other people said that's not what I need.
- 1:03:57So, you know, take this with a grain of salt and do your own
- 1:04:01research and stuff, but I found it compelling.
- 1:04:03And then you have the lion, which had eagle's wings, and
- 1:04:08then the eagle's wings were plucked and it was stood up to
- 1:04:11stand like a man. And one of the commentary
- 1:04:14suggested that this was a downgrade, that the lion was
- 1:04:17sort of this magnificent or majestic creature representing
- 1:04:22authority. And the fact that he had wings
- 1:04:25meant that he had some kind of supernatural authority.
- 1:04:28And for the wings to be plucked means that that supernatural
- 1:04:31authority goes away. And then even more, you know,
- 1:04:35the the lion sort of moniker goes to a human, which is again,
- 1:04:40if it's a downgrade, then it's like, oh, you're you're sort of
- 1:04:42being stuffed into a man kind of thing.
- 1:04:44But it's also, you know, it could be a reference to the
- 1:04:47Antichrist man of SIM himself, or perhaps again, the it's sort
- 1:04:53of the reverse ascension, right? The people that think that
- 1:04:55they're going to ascend to become gods or become more, more
- 1:05:00evolved human or whatever that, you know, they think they're
- 1:05:03doing that, but actually they're down grading from their
- 1:05:05God-given status. So, you know, these are all
- 1:05:07things that can be speculated on.
- 1:05:09And I, I, I found it very compelling that that the
- 1:05:11combination of those three things is the final beast
- 1:05:16devours. And actually, interestingly
- 1:05:18enough, that beast devours Mystery Babylon and mystery
- 1:05:22Babylon seems to be the eschatological city of
- 1:05:26Jerusalem, which is a very touchy subject right now, which,
- 1:05:29you know, it goes into all kinds of stuff you can get into.
- 1:05:31But I don't go into all that in the film.
- 1:05:34I, I stick to the, the blockchain and Bitcoin and, and
- 1:05:36that side of it. I think there's plenty of time
- 1:05:38to discuss some of the more geopolitical aspects of this as
- 1:05:41time goes on And, and the geopolitical stuff is always
- 1:05:44changing too. And right now, if you're not, if
- 1:05:48you're not having a conversation about, you know, one side or the
- 1:05:51other, people tend to turn you off.
- 1:05:52So I, I purposely avoided that. But at the same time, I wanted
- 1:05:56to address a, a topic that is, in my opinion, sort of the
- 1:05:59elephant in the room. Everybody is really excited
- 1:06:02about Bitcoin now. A lot of Christians are like,
- 1:06:03hey, this jives with Christian principles.
- 1:06:06And I agree with a lot of those things that those people are
- 1:06:10saying Pastor coin out there. And there's a few others.
- 1:06:13And the other great thing that I've discovered, which is a
- 1:06:16good, good thing for the, the body of Christ is that a lot of
- 1:06:20people in the world of crypto who are either content creators
- 1:06:25or, you know, technical analysts or just just people that are
- 1:06:28Bitcoin people publishing books and papers and doing stuff.
- 1:06:33Many of them are Christians. I don't know what flavor of
- 1:06:38Christian and I, I, I think some of them are Catholic, but I've
- 1:06:41met plenty that are just Christian.
- 1:06:43They're just, hey, I believe in God, I love Jesus Christ, you
- 1:06:47know, and I think this is big Bitcoin thing is great for the
- 1:06:49church. You know, it's a great way to
- 1:06:50get us out of this situation, which again, in, in the vacuum
- 1:06:53of right now, I, I think it might be, it might be a good
- 1:06:56hedge against whatever they're planning to do with the, the US
- 1:06:59dollar, which everyone can feel, everyone can feel the inflation.
- 1:07:02Everything is more expensive. It's not that everything that
- 1:07:05the US dollar is becoming stronger or that those items are
- 1:07:07becoming more expensive. No, it's that your dollar is
- 1:07:10worth less than it was a couple years ago because they printed
- 1:07:14so much. And so now everything costs
- 1:07:16more, everything that the dollar itself is cheaper.
- 1:07:20And so, you know, it changes your psychology a bit.
- 1:07:21It's like, Oh, I get it. It's not so much that things are
- 1:07:24more expensive. The thing itself offers the same
- 1:07:27value it did before. It's just that the, the money
- 1:07:29itself is cheaper. And so we got to pay more to,
- 1:07:32you know, to get it. So anyway, that, that whole side
- 1:07:36of things was, I don't know, it, it, it jived with so many
- 1:07:41different things going on. And I, I discovered that the
- 1:07:47other topic here. And, and just to move on from
- 1:07:49just the Christians out there talking positive about the
- 1:07:51Bitcoin, the elephant in the room.
- 1:07:53The, the big thing people aren't talking about is where this
- 1:07:55technology is headed. And that's kind of where I've
- 1:07:58always been sort of the Watchmen on the, the watchtower, kind of
- 1:08:01looking as far as I can into the horizon and just bringing
- 1:08:04reports of, Hey, this is what seems to be out there.
- 1:08:07And, and that's what really got me down.
- 1:08:09This biology, Bitcoin, AI and also quantum thing, because
- 1:08:16quantum is another variable in this that is pretty, I don't
- 1:08:21know, it's pretty big because quantum computing practically
- 1:08:26will change all the hardware standards.
- 1:08:28And right now we can't really imagine what that's like because
- 1:08:34of course we're going through the the tensions in Taiwan with
- 1:08:36the microchip factory and, you know, China and the US sort of
- 1:08:40fighting over territory of who gets to be friends with the
- 1:08:43island nation that makes all of the microchips for the whole
- 1:08:45world and, and things of that nature.
- 1:08:47But when quantum computing becomes more viable and
- 1:08:50applicable and, you know, brought into everyday use case,
- 1:08:56it will change a lot. Because the basic way quantum
- 1:08:59computing works, as far as I understand, is that it uses the
- 1:09:06fabric of creation. If I, if I could be crude to do
- 1:09:09your computing, whereas, you know, right now we need wires
- 1:09:13we, we have Wi-Fi, so we have signals traveling through the
- 1:09:16air, which is already pretty crazy, right?
- 1:09:17It's, it's pretty nuts that we're able to do this now.
- 1:09:21But with quantum, the way I've heard it described is you have a
- 1:09:25computer point A, and you can get information to Point C And
- 1:09:31what's happening at point B is basically not in this realm.
- 1:09:35It's it's it's it's in like this other realm.
- 1:09:37So it's like, OK, science is starting to talk about realms
- 1:09:41and other realms and pushing information in and out of that
- 1:09:45realm. So OK, yeah, sounds a little bit
- 1:09:48like occult magic or opening portals or something like that.
- 1:09:52But all right, there you go. That's going to integrate with
- 1:09:55the computers that have biological properties like
- 1:09:59blockchains with AI that's able to, I don't know, sort it all
- 1:10:03out and communicate and implement all that.
- 1:10:05I mean, we're talking about, I don't know, big beasts, like big
- 1:10:09animals that we'd live, that we have to interact with to live,
- 1:10:15you know, our, our very being of getting food and water and all
- 1:10:18this stuff will depend on accessing this beast.
- 1:10:21It's, it's a quite crazy. So that's all the stuff I was
- 1:10:25looking at and thinking, OK, we need to really talk about this
- 1:10:28because short term Bitcoin, crypto, sure it, it might be
- 1:10:32something that gets people out of the rut, you know, out of,
- 1:10:35out of the, the rat race, so to speak.
- 1:10:38And great, fantastic, That's wonderful.
- 1:10:40And you know, as an earlier investor of Bitcoin, I, I have,
- 1:10:44I don't have a lot of Bitcoin. I, I would never consider myself
- 1:10:47an influential in any way when it comes to, you know, the
- 1:10:50actual monetary side of things. But if there are Christians who
- 1:10:56invested early and they are, they, they have influence in
- 1:10:59that realm, I think it's very important for those people to
- 1:11:02understand that, hey, there may be a limit to this and they have
- 1:11:05to come to their own conclusions about where that limit is.
- 1:11:07But I, I think that we have to be talking about there, there
- 1:11:11might be a day we have to just shut it all off or, you know,
- 1:11:14this is where I draw the line or whatever it may be.
- 1:11:17And it, it's very invasive. It's very invasive and people
- 1:11:22don't realize it yet. It's kind of like COVID and the
- 1:11:25vaccines and everything else. If I told you that in 2015, if I
- 1:11:30told you that, hey, they're going to lock down the whole
- 1:11:33world, you're not going to be able to go outside without
- 1:11:35somebody judging you or a police officer arresting you or
- 1:11:37something like that. You got to get anywhere you want
- 1:11:39to go. You got to put on this mask.
- 1:11:41And then if you really want to keep your job or do all these
- 1:11:44other things you got, you have to get this shot, you have to
- 1:11:47get this vaccine or you lose your job.
- 1:11:49You would have said not, not, not in this world, not in this
- 1:11:53earth that we live in now. No way.
- 1:11:55That's never going to happen. How are they going to do it?
- 1:11:57How are they going to implement that?
- 1:11:58Boom, few years later it happened.
- 1:12:01And so you can never say never with this stuff.
- 1:12:03And if and when we have a day when all the stuff goes online
- 1:12:09and all of a sudden it's like, hey, if you want to continue
- 1:12:12accessing the Internet, look, there's so many bots, there's so
- 1:12:16many, you know, problems with the Internet and all this kind
- 1:12:18of stuff. The only way we can do it is if
- 1:12:20you can verify yourself via your DNA or you know, whatever your,
- 1:12:26your molecular makeup or your something, some kind of imprint
- 1:12:30that is biological and unique to you.
- 1:12:33That's the only way you're going to be able to do it.
- 1:12:34That's why world coin exists. World coin that Sam Altman
- 1:12:38created the creator of ChatGPT and open AI.
- 1:12:42He created World Coin, which is, if you don't know, world Coin is
- 1:12:44a, an orb that you stare into and it takes a, a scan of your
- 1:12:49iris and verifies that you're human.
- 1:12:52And that's how you're able to have access to that digital
- 1:12:56realm. I mean, it's literally, it's,
- 1:12:57it's the most dystopic thing you can imagine.
- 1:13:00So yeah, it's, it's crazy. It's, it's, it's the whole
- 1:13:02thing. But he made it because, you
- 1:13:05know, it's crazy. You think that these people are
- 1:13:07insane, evil, evil villains. But in his mind, he made it
- 1:13:11because he sees what's coming with all this AI and all these
- 1:13:14bots and robots and the human being itself.
- 1:13:17It's, it's going to be interesting the, the person that
- 1:13:20you think is on the other side of the computer or machine, it's
- 1:13:22going to become indistinguishable with AI and
- 1:13:24all that. So trust is going to be a huge
- 1:13:26issue and one of the sayings of blockchain technology and people
- 1:13:30that are really into Bitcoin, oh, it's a trustless system,
- 1:13:33meaning you don't have to trust anybody else.
- 1:13:36You can trust the Ledger because the Ledger doesn't lie.
- 1:13:40Men lie, women lie, but the Ledger doesn't lie because it's
- 1:13:44immutable. No one can change it.
- 1:13:46So think about an audit. It's always being audited by the
- 1:13:49public. That's what's happening with
- 1:13:50this Ledger. So in the same way you can, we
- 1:13:53need to audit you. We need to audit that you're a
- 1:13:55real human. And if you want to post
- 1:13:57something on this website, you got to you got to, you know,
- 1:13:59verify that you're a human being.
- 1:14:00I think that's where X is going eventually with, you know,
- 1:14:03obviously Elon Musk neural link. They want to make sure you're a
- 1:14:07human being that well, great way to do that.
- 1:14:09Hey, you got the neural link in your brain.
- 1:14:11That's good. All right, We got a direct
- 1:14:13connection to your brain and we know you're human because we can
- 1:14:17see your brain activity. I mean, that's the level we're
- 1:14:19getting to. And that's where I'm kind of
- 1:14:21like, OK, let's let's pump the brakes on, on the crypto stuff.
- 1:14:25Besides the, the price action and all that.
- 1:14:27And that's all exciting. But when it comes to the bigger
- 1:14:29picture of what this thing is, and I'm not saying Bitcoin
- 1:14:32itself is going to be this, but in terms of blockchain
- 1:14:34technology in general, where are we headed with this?
- 1:14:38And it's, it's, it's the big warning because there was a,
- 1:14:41another National Institute of Health paper that was published.
- 1:14:46This was published back in 2013, I think maybe 20.
- 1:14:49Yeah, April 2013. And it's titled, this is the
- 1:14:53title of the paper is Editing the Book of Life with Molecular
- 1:14:59Scissors. Like yay, we can edit the book
- 1:15:03of life. Really a Science Journal, a
- 1:15:05government science platform titled their thing Editing the
- 1:15:10Book of Life with Molecular Scissors.
- 1:15:12It's talking about CRISPR technology and there's a picture
- 1:15:17of adna strand with a pair of scissors going through it.
- 1:15:20And I mean, is there any reference to that in the in the
- 1:15:24Bible? Is there any time when you mess
- 1:15:27with the DNA? Oh, there happens to be, there
- 1:15:30happens to be a, a really, really important time back in
- 1:15:33Genesis where something like this seems to have appeared.
- 1:15:37And in fact, it explains a whole lot about what's going on under
- 1:15:40the surface. Well, throughout the entire
- 1:15:42Bible, even Jesus's ministry and even all the stuff about his
- 1:15:46return. So, you know, just, well, it's
- 1:15:47like they're mocking people. Too, because literally, why use
- 1:15:50that specific language? You know, all of this, even the
- 1:15:54quantum entanglement, the Bible says we are the shadow of a
- 1:15:56larger reality, right? And so it's it's almost like
- 1:16:00they're only with those with an ear to ear and an eye to see.
- 1:16:02You can even start to take you to the throne room and say, God,
- 1:16:05give me discernment, help me to understand this.
- 1:16:08And then equipping themselves to be Berean.
- 1:16:10Like we're all called to that. If you're a Christian, you're
- 1:16:13called to be a Berean. Also studying to show yourself
- 1:16:15well approved with the readiness of mind.
- 1:16:17Can you find it in the word of God?
- 1:16:18They study daily. They were applauded for doing
- 1:16:21such things. And it's just fascinating to
- 1:16:23hear all of these connections you're making because with some
- 1:16:26of the interviews I've done just over, I'd say even the last
- 1:16:29year, you know, Doctor Manzo coming on, it just went crazy.
- 1:16:33We did a four part series talking about nano technologies
- 1:16:37and getting into, you know, some of this language where it
- 1:16:39overlaps. It's like it webs and weaves
- 1:16:42together in all of these other areas.
- 1:16:44And as you zoom out to the macrocosm and then you, you
- 1:16:47like, understand, there's some biblical threads that may not
- 1:16:50precisely say it's going to go down this way.
- 1:16:52But I also believe that that was a mechanism God was using to
- 1:16:55raise up people who were after his own heart profits, you know,
- 1:16:59people with discernment to be able to give a breakdown on
- 1:17:01this. Yeah.
- 1:17:03And so we're living. In this really unique.
- 1:17:04Time slot, man, where everything you're saying like I'm rocking
- 1:17:08with you, some stuff is a little bit over my head just in the
- 1:17:10sense because it, it's I have to marinate on a lot of this stuff.
- 1:17:14Sure. Yeah, this stuff, it's
- 1:17:15fascinating. The the blockchain thing.
- 1:17:17With the, you know, this beast or animalistic component and
- 1:17:22that being married into this quantum entanglement idea that
- 1:17:27is fascinating, like the quantum Med beds.
- 1:17:30I'm sure you've heard about that.
- 1:17:32I'm impressed with how thorough you are and and how much you've
- 1:17:35had you have mapped out at this point.
- 1:17:37So let me ask you this, like when anticipating watching The
- 1:17:40Age of Deceit 4, what are you hoping that people take away
- 1:17:44from it? The way that you laid it out,
- 1:17:47the flow of the information, What are you hoping really
- 1:17:49resonates with the viewers? I hope that they are inspired to
- 1:17:58learn more. You know, I, I don't have all
- 1:18:01the answers. I just, I'm putting together the
- 1:18:03research and presenting it. And, and I'm not a prophet.
- 1:18:07I don't claim to be. I don't claim to know what's
- 1:18:09going to happen. But I, I would hope it inspires
- 1:18:12people to go to their Bibles to consider the things that I've
- 1:18:15shared, maybe even find problems with them.
- 1:18:18Of course, I'm not perfect. These are all sort of, you know,
- 1:18:21the, the, I don't know, the collection, the notes that I've
- 1:18:24taken over the years and, and have just tried to share.
- 1:18:28But you know, I guess one of the, the, the, I wouldn't say
- 1:18:32the most, but one of the things that I hope people get away from
- 1:18:35this is the, the reality or the, the urgency of this time that's
- 1:18:46approaching. Where again, I, you know, I just
- 1:18:50use that COVID analogy, but I, I feel that I need to bring it up
- 1:18:53again just because it's, it's palpable in the sense that
- 1:18:56you're gonna have to make some tough decisions.
- 1:18:59You know, I, it's, as I was saying, the National Institute
- 1:19:04of Health having that title of the paper editing the book of
- 1:19:07life. Well, I, I just went through
- 1:19:09this whole process of explaining how with Bitcoin and the
- 1:19:13blockchain, you now have immutable digital data.
- 1:19:17You have something that's digital that you cannot edit.
- 1:19:21And on the contrast, we have all the technologies to start
- 1:19:26editing our human biology or, or just all biology.
- 1:19:30And really, if you're talking about quantum computing and nano
- 1:19:32and all this, you're, you're starting to talk about literally
- 1:19:35creation itself. I mean, that's crazy to me.
- 1:19:39That should be alarming. That should be alarming for
- 1:19:41anybody who realizes how quickly this type of moment might come
- 1:19:46where literally, you know, you go digital and you're, you're
- 1:19:51immortal, but if you stay biological, you are, you're
- 1:19:55dwindling, you're fading. And it's, and again, it's just
- 1:19:59interesting to me because it's a, it's a very powerful faith
- 1:20:04test. It's like, hey, are you, do you
- 1:20:07have faith? You trust that the Lord told the
- 1:20:09truth about the end times. At the very least, you know, not
- 1:20:13all the details, we don't have to agree about the details, but
- 1:20:15this idea that we are promised eternal bodies that we are going
- 1:20:18to have these physical bodies that are are are powerful, that
- 1:20:22can that can be with God and that can be in his presence
- 1:20:27without burning up. And, you know, just having this
- 1:20:32this new body that's spiritual and incorruptible.
- 1:20:41Do you believe it? Because what the world is about
- 1:20:45to offer humanity is a counterfeit version of that with
- 1:20:52this whole digital immortality. Exactly so.
- 1:20:56This is why I I. Named the, the title of Age of
- 1:20:59Deceit 4, the Eschaton cipher and the counterfeit Ledger of
- 1:21:03life because it's, it's really, that's what the world is
- 1:21:06building. They're building the the literal
- 1:21:08counterfeit Ledger of life. Think about what the Ledger of
- 1:21:10life really is, you know, talks about it in the Bible, how it's
- 1:21:13the names of those people written that, that are saved and
- 1:21:18will be with God forever. And those are the people that
- 1:21:20will be given the new bodies and everything.
- 1:21:22There are people that don't make the list.
- 1:21:25And so, yeah, the the spirit that is driving that is of
- 1:21:30course, gonna try to make their own version of immortality.
- 1:21:34And that's where we're getting to with the science and
- 1:21:36technology, is this offer of digital immortality.
- 1:21:41And again, it'll become a very powerful faith test because from
- 1:21:44what I understand in Revelation 13, and it's not popular to talk
- 1:21:49about because I don't know, I guess people are more
- 1:21:52comfortable with the preacher rapture type of analysis on
- 1:21:55things. But you know, just being
- 1:21:58straight with what the word of God says in Revelation 13, the
- 1:22:01Saints will be conquered. That doesn't sound like a good
- 1:22:05time for the church. You know, let me just try to
- 1:22:08make sure I get the exact passage here so I can dial it in
- 1:22:14here. Verse seven of Revelation 13.
- 1:22:18Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the Saints and
- 1:22:22to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe
- 1:22:26and people and tongue and nation.
- 1:22:28So this beast that wages, wages war on the Saints.
- 1:22:33Now, if this whole beast is this digital immortal, you know,
- 1:22:38biological computing animal thing that we have to interact
- 1:22:42with and think about who or what it would want to get rid of.
- 1:22:50It's the people who are like, hey, this thing's probably not a
- 1:22:53good thing. This, this whole thing, this
- 1:22:56digital thing, this living thing that we've created, it's
- 1:23:00probably not great, not great, not an awesome thing.
- 1:23:03Those are the people that are going to be largely a collection
- 1:23:07of probably the Saints, as mentioned here, believers that
- 1:23:10are like, Nah, I don't know about this.
- 1:23:12And so for them to be prophesied by the word of God, to be
- 1:23:16conquered by this beast. And so the authority is given to
- 1:23:20every tribe, nation, tongue. I mean that that again doesn't
- 1:23:23sound like a good time for believers.
- 1:23:25Verse 8 And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast,
- 1:23:29all whose names have not been written from the foundation of
- 1:23:32the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was
- 1:23:36slain. So I it's a very clear line that
- 1:23:41is drawn in in this end times world.
- 1:23:43And the advancement in science, advancements in sciences and
- 1:23:47technology is showing us that line, like this obscure line
- 1:23:52that, hey, maybe people are saved.
- 1:23:53Maybe people are not like, I don't know, Calvinism once
- 1:23:57saved, always saved. Like all these debates that
- 1:23:59people have, we don't need to have that debate when these days
- 1:24:03come because it'll be like, Oh yeah, you're, you're, you're,
- 1:24:07you chose your side kind of thing, you know, And it's, it's
- 1:24:09kind of a wild thought, but, and I hope I'm not making people
- 1:24:12angry 'cause sometimes I talk about these things and people
- 1:24:14get really upset. Perspectives Hermeneutical.
- 1:24:17Hygiene is important, right? Like the late doctor Chuck
- 1:24:20Messer would say. And, and we've heard a bit of
- 1:24:23all of it here. Now, one thing that I always
- 1:24:25say, I've been saying for years is I've never met one person or
- 1:24:28talked with one person that I've agreed with every single thing
- 1:24:31that they said. My goal is to highlight what
- 1:24:33people do correctly. Like I'm applauding people and
- 1:24:36highlighting that because I say if people wanted to write flaws
- 1:24:39on theology that I was holding five years ago, you can probably
- 1:24:42write a pretty decent sized book on that.
- 1:24:44So it's like crazy to understand.
- 1:24:47Right. So I don't you're not going to
- 1:24:48make anybody mad here just because we've had such different
- 1:24:52ends of the spectrum on that. You know, we have a pretty
- 1:24:55small, solid group of people that listen around the world.
- 1:24:59And I would say that I would applaud the audience for being
- 1:25:02Bereans and interacting with compassion and with just the
- 1:25:06understanding that that God's word has this final authority
- 1:25:09and that we are living in a very peculiar time slot.
- 1:25:12And So what you're saying resonates with me though, you
- 1:25:15know, I really do believe that this generation, we're going to
- 1:25:20see some highs and some lows that line up with the Scripture.
- 1:25:24Why do we guns, why do we have verses like pray that you may be
- 1:25:27found worthy to escape these things?
- 1:25:29It's almost like it's multi layered in the sense where
- 1:25:32there's pockets of of things that are going to happen to
- 1:25:35specific people with what is in accordance to what is written to
- 1:25:39bring the prophecy into fulfillment.
- 1:25:41I don't think it's like a one person is subjected to
- 1:25:44everything that's coming. That's my personal standard.
- 1:25:47Yeah. It's like, I think, you know,
- 1:25:48some people are going to be experiential to the Max in this
- 1:25:52area. There may be some overlay, but
- 1:25:55it kind of leads me into actually one of the questions I
- 1:25:57had for you is what what are your thoughts on the millennial
- 1:26:00reign of Christ? You know, we know what the word
- 1:26:02says about it. We Fast forward a little bit
- 1:26:04more in revelation to what you're alluding to in 13 there.
- 1:26:07You know, we this thousand year reign.
- 1:26:09I asked Ali Sietaton about this. We did.
- 1:26:12We did a whole episode, I don't know, like 1015 episodes ago.
- 1:26:15So this is like a topic where people were going, oh, well,
- 1:26:18churches have been talking about pre Trib rapture and like
- 1:26:21everything, I'm just gonna float away and I'm gonna escape all
- 1:26:25this stuff. And it's like the Bible means
- 1:26:28what it says and says what it means.
- 1:26:29But we're in such an interesting webbing and weaving of events
- 1:26:33right now of Christ. Like how do you kind of marry
- 1:26:35these two together? What standpoint do you take on
- 1:26:38that? Yeah, so.
- 1:26:40The millennial reign, the, the debate that I've often seen is
- 1:26:46surrounding when right, people are more, I guess over time.
- 1:26:50It was like, when is this gonna happen?
- 1:26:52Is it, you know, beginning. And there's different theologies
- 1:26:55depending on what you believe about the timing.
- 1:26:59Yeah. I, I, I tend to agree with the
- 1:27:01sentiment that it's more palpable now than ever.
- 1:27:06And all the things I was talking about earlier about the eternal
- 1:27:10bodies and all this stuff. I feel that for our particular
- 1:27:16group of believers, this will be a reality in the millennial
- 1:27:20reign, that that part of their, I guess, promise is to, you
- 1:27:25know, have the heavenly bodies or, or I guess immortal bodies
- 1:27:29in that time. So I, I don't think that, yeah,
- 1:27:33there, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
- 1:27:37And whether it's a literal thousand years or not, who
- 1:27:40knows? This is God's prerogative, a
- 1:27:45period of time that is coming upon us, that reflects or, or is
- 1:27:51literally a second coming of Christ where he is reigning from
- 1:27:56Jerusalem. That is a world that for me,
- 1:28:02it's like I, I can't even imagine how incredible it will
- 1:28:06be to have the bodies, first of all.
- 1:28:11And second of all to, you know, it's, it's almost like the
- 1:28:15heaven experience that people often think about.
- 1:28:17Like, oh, who would you talk to? If you can talk to anybody in
- 1:28:20the Bible or somebody in the history or something like that.
- 1:28:22I, I think those types of things play out in the real carnal
- 1:28:28place of a new Jerusalem that will literally physically be
- 1:28:32here on earth. Whatever shape you think it is,
- 1:28:34you know, it doesn't even matter because it'll be here.
- 1:28:37And you can see that you can measure the geography of it.
- 1:28:40There seems to be some interesting types of time travel
- 1:28:43stuff going on between the, the Revelation where the
- 1:28:47measurements of the city is, is being shown and in, I think it's
- 1:28:53Ezekiel where there's other passages.
- 1:28:54I could be wrong about that. Hold on.
- 1:28:56I I need to brush up on my millennial stuff.
- 1:28:58But yeah, there's some passages in the Old Testament where she's
- 1:29:03being shown with a Reed or a stick or something, the
- 1:29:07measurements. And Gary Stearman was the one
- 1:29:10that talked about how there could be some time travel going
- 1:29:12on or some kind of time variants where they're seeing the same
- 1:29:16thing, the same point in time. And maybe this was a little
- 1:29:20glimpse into that moment when New Jerusalem comes down
- 1:29:24because, OK, one of the cool things with that I've always
- 1:29:29talked about is this idea of heaven receding like a scroll.
- 1:29:37And people talked about or have talked about the timing of that
- 1:29:41Revelation 614, I believe it is. And there's some passages in
- 1:29:44Isaiah that echo it. Isaiah 34, All the stars of
- 1:29:49heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like
- 1:29:52a scroll. So the, the celestial event,
- 1:29:57I've always been, I've had this thought that whatever this whole
- 1:30:03beast system is that is described in the Book of
- 1:30:07Revelation and it sounds crazy and all this that we, we seem to
- 1:30:11be witnessing the appearance of or the, the building up of.
- 1:30:16It's been my opinion that it gets so bad, literally so, so
- 1:30:22bad. And there are passages about how
- 1:30:24Jesus said if he doesn't come back, all flesh would be
- 1:30:28destroyed. I mean, I think there is
- 1:30:32something really fundamentally corrupt.
- 1:30:37Well, there's the world is corrupt and fallen.
- 1:30:39But with this emergence of this technology, I think the world
- 1:30:43will do something so damaging to creation itself and biology and
- 1:30:47everything, 'cause think about what they're promising here.
- 1:30:49Think about what they're building.
- 1:30:50Think about what they're promising.
- 1:30:51They're promising eternal life. That is not a game for a few
- 1:30:56billionaires in a boardroom, OK? This is something that God has
- 1:31:01taken care of like thousands of years ago.
- 1:31:03He's made it a thing, eternal life.
- 1:31:05He's made it a thing already. He showed how to do it.
- 1:31:08He left room for each individual to make it their own decisions
- 1:31:11with faith. So it's already a thing.
- 1:31:14So for some billionaires and some people thinking that
- 1:31:17they're going to solve this and pull this thing off, I think the
- 1:31:21whole end times prophet, everyone fears the beast, all
- 1:31:23this. No, I think it's going to be a
- 1:31:25disaster. It it's gonna completely mess up
- 1:31:29creation. So when we talk about the
- 1:31:32heavens receding like a scroll and every mountain and island
- 1:31:35being removed from its place and all these things happening
- 1:31:38before the Millennium, which I'm, I'm making some assumptions
- 1:31:41there. And I know there could be some
- 1:31:42people that disagree with the timing of that.
- 1:31:44But in my studies, if that is the case, that this event of
- 1:31:50receding and all this, the, the day of the Lord is a part of
- 1:31:53this as well. When this happens, it will undo
- 1:31:57or at least sort of take care, clean up this problem with
- 1:32:03creation and biology and, and whatever mess is made and a new
- 1:32:07heaven and a new earth, or at least a new Jerusalem comes
- 1:32:10down. And at that point it is a
- 1:32:13restoration. The restoration that, you know,
- 1:32:17it's, it's sort of the return to Eden moment.
- 1:32:20It's not Eden, but it's that return to Eden in terms of a
- 1:32:24balance between God and man and our ability to walk with God
- 1:32:29literally, physically, not just in spirit and all these things.
- 1:32:33It's, it's, it's a physical reality that is in the future.
- 1:32:37And so that, that's something that I, I hope people think
- 1:32:40about because it's, it's almost like, you know, in the new age,
- 1:32:46they all often talk about the law of attraction.
- 1:32:49And it's like, oh, believe whatever that you're a a
- 1:32:53professional basketball player and and you will attract the
- 1:32:57things that will make you a professional basketball.
- 1:32:59I'm calling BS on all that, by the way.
- 1:33:01No thing, because I mean, how absurd is that?
- 1:33:05Think about that me, I'm 5 foot seven on a good day.
- 1:33:09I'm I'm, I got some meat on me. So I'm, you know, I'm about 180.
- 1:33:12I could imagine myself as an NBA player for the rest of my life
- 1:33:15and I will never step foot on an NBA court in a real game.
- 1:33:19And unless it's a gimmick, right?
- 1:33:21So that it's, it's a ridiculous type of thing.
- 1:33:24But we can, we have these scriptures and there are a lot
- 1:33:27more about the Millennium. I'm I'm sure you've dug through
- 1:33:29many of them. And often times it, what
- 1:33:33frustrates me is some of the passages I feel are misused or
- 1:33:39misappropriated for current geopolitical tensions concerning
- 1:33:46Zionists and stuff. And that's not to defend or to
- 1:33:49go against the whole situation with Israel right now.
- 1:33:51It's more so as a commentary on, I think some of the millennial
- 1:33:55passages have been misused to identify the current nation
- 1:34:00state and its status. That's all I'll say on that.
- 1:34:02But that's a whole, right. That's a whole topic, right?
- 1:34:05I mean, that's, that's really kicking the hornet's nest.
- 1:34:08But that's something that I felt is important to mention because
- 1:34:13it it robs a little bit of the essence of what the millennial
- 1:34:16Kingdom is really going to be like, You know, and I'm trying
- 1:34:20to find some passages here because I think it'd be great to
- 1:34:22go through some of them. Let's see.
- 1:34:24I know Isaiah 34 talks about it. Yeah.
- 1:34:27One of the passages is Isaiah Chapter 11.
- 1:34:31And if you start around verse six, that's the famous passage
- 1:34:33about the wolf will dwell with the lamb and, you know, all
- 1:34:37these animals are hanging out together.
- 1:34:39It's it's very peaceful. There's something fundamentally
- 1:34:42different at that point, right? That what, what nature now,
- 1:34:46whatever natural instinct is, is within these animals now that
- 1:34:50programming has shifted at this point.
- 1:34:51So exactly it's a it's a very different world.
- 1:34:54So that that's, you know, just it's so interesting how God uses
- 1:34:58just a basic illustration of animals and, and even the
- 1:35:03leopard will lie with the young goat, with the leopard, you
- 1:35:07know, being part of the end times beast system, you know,
- 1:35:11sort of lying down with the young goat, maybe just sort of
- 1:35:15letting its guard down. Like we don't need this.
- 1:35:17It's just from hiding and watching.
- 1:35:19And waiting till an hour, it's now like literally like, hey,
- 1:35:22let's hang out. Yeah, yeah, it's a whole
- 1:35:24different. So this, this sort of imagined
- 1:35:26world, it's not so imaginary. I think people can resonate with
- 1:35:30that. It's very encouraging and not in
- 1:35:33the New Age sense, but I think you can read these passages and
- 1:35:36get an idea of what this will look like, how it will feel
- 1:35:38like. You can go through all the
- 1:35:39senses. So, you know, these are these
- 1:35:41are powerful looks into the millennial Kingdom.
- 1:35:46And I, I think if you go back, even Isaiah 2, I think is the
- 1:35:50earlier chapters here that has some of this language.
- 1:35:55Yeah. So some of this is talking about
- 1:35:57God's reign from Jerusalem, from the mountaintop.
- 1:36:02And, and you know, what's also fascinating, and I think people
- 1:36:05need to think about in terms of where we are now when a lot of
- 1:36:11the language of God ruling in that millennial time period is,
- 1:36:17has geographical significance. And it's, you know, it tends to
- 1:36:22mention Jerusalem by name. So there's an actual physical
- 1:36:25location and that is Jerusalem. And you know, really, if you
- 1:36:27think about the conflict between the three monotheistic faiths,
- 1:36:31really, if you're really, really thinking about a true solution
- 1:36:34where the true Lord of all shows up, the King of Kings really
- 1:36:39shows up, it's gotta be Jerusalem, right?
- 1:36:41I mean, just logically, even if you're a secular person that
- 1:36:45doesn't believe in any of the religions, it's like, if there's
- 1:36:47gonna be resolution, it's gotta be like the real guy, right?
- 1:36:51That's why I think it's so powerful to think about how all
- 1:36:55these a lot of the passages in the Old Testament that describe
- 1:36:58the millennial Kingdom and and how it looks, it's going to be
- 1:37:03there's going to be a counterfeit attempt at this.
- 1:37:06And that's part of the Antichrist stuff that I find so
- 1:37:09fascinating that Chris White, who wrote the book False Christ,
- 1:37:15will the Antichrist present himself as the Jewish Messiah.
- 1:37:18It's a very fascinating study because it seems that the Bible,
- 1:37:21especially in the New Testament, and if you really do a, a good
- 1:37:24study on it, it seems to indicate that the Antichrist
- 1:37:28figure, this man of sin individual will present himself
- 1:37:32as the long-awaited Jewish Messiah.
- 1:37:34And that he will fulfill all of what the Jewish, the current,
- 1:37:38you know, Jewish community that stems out of, you know, the
- 1:37:41rabbinical teachings of the Talmud and things that are
- 1:37:44little bit more of an offshoot from the, the Bible itself.
- 1:37:49But you know, the, the, they're sort of mystical in nature if
- 1:37:52you go down a certain rabbit trail.
- 1:37:53So it's it's not fully rooted in the word how we have it now,
- 1:37:59although it does, you know, stem from it, obviously.
- 1:38:01So interestingly enough. Yeah.
- 1:38:02So if there is an individual that shows up and the the world
- 1:38:06and especially the Jewish community starts saying that
- 1:38:08this guy is fulfilling these prophecies and they, you know,
- 1:38:12they more or less do it. He defeats the enemies of Israel
- 1:38:16and becomes the single ruler and, and sort of, I don't know,
- 1:38:20declared king because he brought peace to the Middle East and all
- 1:38:23this kind of stuff. These are all, you know, more
- 1:38:26popular thoughts about what the Antichrist might look like, but
- 1:38:30it does shed light on what the real thing will look like.
- 1:38:34You know, so it's, it's, it's so important to think about what
- 1:38:39the real thing will look like because then we'll know when the
- 1:38:41counterfeit's here, right? We can't know the counterfeit if
- 1:38:44we're not aware that there's a real thing.
- 1:38:47You'll easily be deceived. So that that's why I think it's
- 1:38:51important to at least know this stuff.
- 1:38:52You don't have to be fervent on, you know, the different views or
- 1:38:55the timing of the rapture, all this type of stuff.
- 1:38:58It makes for good debate. I love these in house debates.
- 1:39:02I think it makes us all better and stronger at studying our
- 1:39:06Bibles and crafting good arguments and and everything
- 1:39:09else. But when it comes to some of the
- 1:39:12the more cosmic level stuff going on, and I think you're
- 1:39:15right when you mentioned earlier that different people will
- 1:39:18experience, you know, different parts of this.
- 1:39:21And I've often believed that a lot of biblical prophecy is a,
- 1:39:30it's, it's an archetypal thing where it happens over and over
- 1:39:34again in various contexts. And it's, it's almost like a
- 1:39:37human nature. It's like these are natural
- 1:39:39things that occur in, in human society.
- 1:39:44And when you have leaders that are like this or they, you know,
- 1:39:46make decisions with this or, you know, the Bible's chock full of
- 1:39:49stuff like that. And I think it applies to
- 1:39:51eschatology as well, where when you have a certain type of thing
- 1:39:55happen, it, it means the end usually like that thing won't
- 1:39:59last, it'll fall apart. And that's, that's sort of the
- 1:40:02message. So if, even if it's not that,
- 1:40:04even if what we see with Bitcoin and blockchain and biological
- 1:40:07quantum blah, blah, blah, all this stuff, even if it's not the
- 1:40:10end as prophesied here as the words described as God
- 1:40:13described, it might be that God's word is like that where
- 1:40:18it's like every generation gets to have a pretty solid
- 1:40:21applicable relatable. Digestion of the truth, you
- 1:40:26know, or we can just understand it and.
- 1:40:28And that's precisely right, because.
- 1:40:30When you look at poetry in Hebrew, yeah, ancient.
- 1:40:34Poetry. Would have been these
- 1:40:36reoccurring themes that are being spoken about, right?
- 1:40:39So when we look at prophecy, it's almost like the ages, this
- 1:40:43this circumpunct idea where it's a repertoire of things that that
- 1:40:47kind of come around and around and around again.
- 1:40:50And what you just said a second ago.
- 1:40:52So triggered me to jump in here and each generation we, we have
- 1:40:56this opportunity to seek out the truth, stand up for
- 1:41:00righteousness, expose the darkness.
- 1:41:02And even if you go back 100 years ago, the set of problems
- 1:41:06that they had, people were saying, oh, it's the end of the
- 1:41:07world. This is what's going to happen.
- 1:41:09And it's like, well, when we zoom out, we can see that
- 1:41:12there's momentum building with the, the complexities that
- 1:41:15technology has introduced that clearly show us that God is
- 1:41:20bringing the, the fulfillment to the age of the Gentiles,
- 1:41:24bringing a fulfillment even of the iniquity of those who
- 1:41:27wouldn't accept him. And, and I believe it happens
- 1:41:31through Aegis man. And it really is take some
- 1:41:34pressure off of like for me personally, like it removes some
- 1:41:37pressure of like trying to, I guess you could say, make sense
- 1:41:40of all of it. Like some of it is just has to
- 1:41:42be mystery. But but there's so much more
- 1:41:45we're called to and that's why this pursuit is, is lifestyle at
- 1:41:50this point. But just very fascinating.
- 1:41:52Everything you had to say there. Yeah.
- 1:41:54Yeah, I I agree with you. That that's, it's almost like
- 1:41:58it's you often hear this thing about once you see a certain
- 1:42:03thing about the world, it's it's hard to Unsee it.
- 1:42:06And especially like symbolism in movies for, for example, it
- 1:42:10definitely happened to me where once I was like, Oh, I, I see
- 1:42:13what's going on here. My brain just analyzes it
- 1:42:15differently. And I can't sit in the movie
- 1:42:17theater without taking notes about stuff that I'd noticed.
- 1:42:20So it's, it's a problem. But, but it, you know, it's, it
- 1:42:25is good. It's ultimately a good thing
- 1:42:28that the Bible has this stuff and, and that we can understand
- 1:42:32the world we're living in through the scriptures that
- 1:42:35haven't changed, you know, they haven't changed.
- 1:42:37But for some reason, when I read it in 2024, it's like, Oh my
- 1:42:40gosh, this is a, I'm very comforted by the fact that the
- 1:42:43word of God and, and the Lord understands these things way
- 1:42:46more than I do because, you know, otherwise it's like, man,
- 1:42:49we're just flying by the, the seat of our pants and we're
- 1:42:52gonna go do this thing and try to achieve immortality.
- 1:42:54And who knows what's gonna happen?
- 1:42:56Blow up the whole world, but who cares?
- 1:42:58Like, hey, we're gonna do like it's this crazy sort of wild
- 1:43:03thing that I there's no grounding, you know, so I'm glad
- 1:43:07that God is like, it's OK, it's gonna be fine.
- 1:43:10Like it's gonna get crazy. Like, look, I've these words are
- 1:43:13resonating, resonated in the year 0 is resonating with 824.
- 1:43:19Listen, I know what I'm talking about, you know, so just calm
- 1:43:21down, relax, just enjoy it And and, you know, warn people and,
- 1:43:26and tell people about the truth and everything.
- 1:43:27But so I think it's great that, that, that it is addressed
- 1:43:31because otherwise it's like, man, where do we where do we
- 1:43:33even turn as a church? Like, how do we even digest all
- 1:43:36this craziness going on? But that that's to me, you know,
- 1:43:39I, I, I think it's this generation's apologetic.
- 1:43:44I the last couple decades we saw apologetics really thrive under
- 1:43:50some very heavy hitters in the academic world.
- 1:43:53You're William Lane Craig's Greg Kochol.
- 1:43:57I'm always forgetting. There's so many people, Gary
- 1:44:00Habermas, there's so many people, many Christians.
- 1:44:03They're countless. They've written books defending
- 1:44:05the faith. And there was a period of time
- 1:44:08in the late 90s where the four horsemen of atheism got really
- 1:44:11popular, like early 2000, nineties.
- 1:44:14And their whole thing was there's no God and and all this
- 1:44:17type of stuff. And they were so thoroughly
- 1:44:20demolished by these, this wave of Christian theologians and
- 1:44:24philosophers that just just took, just took apart their
- 1:44:27argument. It was quite remarkable.
- 1:44:29It was pretty awesome to see. And I, I was baptized and saved
- 1:44:32towards kind of the tail end of that whole phase where, you
- 1:44:36know, I, I really got into William Lane Craig's stuff
- 1:44:37because it was like, wow, this is like pretty airtight
- 1:44:39argumentation on the existence of God and tearing down those
- 1:44:44arguments coming from the atheistic point of view.
- 1:44:48And now we're going into this period of time that Basil and I
- 1:44:51have talked about for a long time.
- 1:44:52It's called the re enchant or this is actually terminology
- 1:44:55from Karl Tykrib, who's an author and and and speaker
- 1:44:58Christian that has been looking at culture building and sort of
- 1:45:02the the center of culture and dispersion of culture, which is
- 1:45:05Burning Man. And so we've done an art.
- 1:45:08I know that's a weird thing for Christians to be talking about
- 1:45:10Burning Man. Nevertheless, going to Burning
- 1:45:12Man and doing research. And that's what Basil did.
- 1:45:15And I, I haven't gone there, but I've been part of the whole
- 1:45:17process with editing the episodes and stuff.
- 1:45:20But there's this new generation of young people coming into the
- 1:45:25world and, and they're not being presented with the atheistic
- 1:45:27thing. They're they're being presented
- 1:45:29with a much more enchanted type of world, whether it be related
- 1:45:34to ancient mythologies or brand new ones that AI creates or
- 1:45:41something, you know, just just these new mythologies, they're
- 1:45:44being re enchanted into this world where anything we imagined
- 1:45:48we can do, which is a Tower of Babel thing.
- 1:45:50You look back at Genesis 11, one of the things God said was that,
- 1:45:55you know, if, if they, if they keep one language and they,
- 1:45:59anything they imagined to do will not be impossible, meaning
- 1:46:03that they can do. And it sounds like a good thing,
- 1:46:06like, hey, why, why is it a bad thing?
- 1:46:07God like they, they unify and they, they come together and
- 1:46:10they're able to accomplish stuff.
- 1:46:11Why is that bad? But in the context of humanity
- 1:46:14and the way we are with our fallen state, it's bad.
- 1:46:17It's bad thing for that to happen.
- 1:46:19So we now live in a world where many people or anybody can use
- 1:46:24this technology, and they're going to be told they can do
- 1:46:28whatever they imagine to do with this technology, whether it be,
- 1:46:32you know, enhance themselves genetically or create realms
- 1:46:36that they can become superheroes in or something.
- 1:46:39It doesn't even matter. It's just this whole idea.
- 1:46:41So the apologetic of defending the faith, we have to keep up
- 1:46:47with that, right? We have to keep up with that
- 1:46:48cultural shift that's happening with the world.
- 1:46:51And so this type of eschatology, I think, and, and just the
- 1:46:55overall perspective that Doctor Michael Heizer's presented, the
- 1:46:59Beneja Elohim, the, the watchers, the divine council,
- 1:47:03the Nephilim, that that whole topic of inquiry and related to,
- 1:47:08you know, just crazy stuff I talk about like block chains and
- 1:47:11beasts and, you know, all that nonsense.
- 1:47:14Use it as an apologetic or proof of God's existence in a world of
- 1:47:19people that are not necessarily looking for that.
- 1:47:22You know, in the book of Acts, I think Paul goes out of his way
- 1:47:25and Paul's known to go out of his way to, you know, relate to
- 1:47:28the people of whatever town he's in to share the gospel and sort
- 1:47:33of creating the gospel presentation in the context of
- 1:47:36that culture. And if we're to do that, then
- 1:47:38then I think we're in good, good company because we're that's
- 1:47:41kind of what this is. It's this is this is trying to
- 1:47:44understand the word of God and showing that hey, there seems to
- 1:47:48be some a lot there. There's a lot of stuff that the
- 1:47:51word of God has said about these particular weird issues that you
- 1:47:55wouldn't think is brought up in the Bible.
- 1:47:59Well, it's like even reminds. Me of Lee Strobel's A Case for
- 1:48:02Christ. If you look at that entire book,
- 1:48:04the whole documentation of his process, the skepticism, all the
- 1:48:08way to the this personal journey of investigating.
- 1:48:12And I think in a nutshell for for people who know what I'm
- 1:48:14talking about, which I highly recommend at least reading that
- 1:48:17book. It's it's well worth it was well
- 1:48:19worth my time. I recommended to new believers,
- 1:48:21people that are getting baptized.
- 1:48:23They have questions, especially the academic people.
- 1:48:25I'm normally just asking weird questions and I don't really
- 1:48:28know. So I'll be like, let let's refer
- 1:48:30this to you, but you're spot on guns.
- 1:48:34That is like this new apologetic where even challenging the
- 1:48:37narrative and saying, listen, let's go through the Bible.
- 1:48:40You start out as a skeptic. That's fine.
- 1:48:42Doctor Michael Heizer used to say, I'll destroy your entire
- 1:48:45theological argument and hand you a better one and like.
- 1:48:50Not even be sad that I. Did it.
- 1:48:52And it's like, well, that's kind of what our we're doing that as
- 1:48:55a joint effort. Like many of us are really
- 1:48:58taking the stand to be like, hey, listen, I'm not nuts.
- 1:49:01I'm a fully functioning citizen. I'm actually contributing,
- 1:49:04right? Like still procreating, still
- 1:49:07believe in the basic fundamentals, still attending
- 1:49:10the bodily meetings, still people are still being baptized.
- 1:49:14We're still functioning as a body.
- 1:49:16But we're not afraid to go into these deep, very challenging
- 1:49:20areas with personal and antidotical stories to back up
- 1:49:24the fact that, hey, I'm standing on this rock crying out to you.
- 1:49:27It's it's like what you just said the apostle Paul did he
- 1:49:30literally, you know, was he was becoming like unto those who we
- 1:49:34preach to in order that he may win some and then we're
- 1:49:37transparent boasting in our weakness that the power of God
- 1:49:40may rest upon us because you've said it, I say it all the time.
- 1:49:44I'm a broken vessel. God's using me.
- 1:49:46Obedience. Obedience is better than
- 1:49:49sacrifice. He's calling a generation to
- 1:49:51literally have apologetics, but beyond that to be the ekklesia
- 1:49:56to be a governing body like. So when we identify these things
- 1:49:59that are wrong, we come boldly to the throne room in time of
- 1:50:02need and we make a petition against it, just like Ephesians
- 1:50:05says, have nothing to do with the fruitless seeds of darkness,
- 1:50:08but rather expose it. And I, I know a lot of people
- 1:50:10out there as they're learning and, and we need more people to
- 1:50:13understand even just the beginning narrative of, of some
- 1:50:17of these strange things going on in the Bible and what people
- 1:50:20have wrestled with personally in order that there's prayer and
- 1:50:24munition when that stuff comes against you.
- 1:50:26Or as the layers get peeled back, if I can say it that way,
- 1:50:30and people start to really see, oh, that's what's going on.
- 1:50:33Especially like right now with the vaccine talk.
- 1:50:36All of it is the reversal of what people were literally
- 1:50:38saying, Oh, kill the non vaccinated tormenting.
- 1:50:41Like, I mean, I experienced a lot of weird situations with
- 1:50:44that whole, you know, I chose not to do it.
- 1:50:46Me and my house. Nope, not doing it.
- 1:50:48No Fear tactic, no mask. And there's a lot of
- 1:50:51repercussions that came through for that.
- 1:50:53And it's like, I didn't forget. The one thing I got going for me
- 1:50:56is I can remember things that I want to remember, but now people
- 1:50:59are getting the opposite information delivered to them
- 1:51:02and being spoon fed into their mouth.
- 1:51:03And they're like, oh, well, it doesn't matter.
- 1:51:04And I'm like, no, you can't actually do that.
- 1:51:07That's insanity. Your head's in a hole.
- 1:51:10So but with compassion, we we move forward guns with
- 1:51:14conviction, we move forward with literally the high calling to
- 1:51:18run the race. There's one spirit, one truth,
- 1:51:20one baptism, a diversity of gifts, diversity of different
- 1:51:24gifts. And I'm sharpened and edified by
- 1:51:28this conversation with you. Now I, I want to ask this is an
- 1:51:31important question, Gonz, just because I've stood on your
- 1:51:35shoulders in many ways with stuff that you have laid down.
- 1:51:38And there's a younger generation coming up in certain ways,
- 1:51:42right? We, we're planting and watering
- 1:51:44seeds. But what is your encouragement
- 1:51:47for the, the millennial generation and, and the younger
- 1:51:50generation with all of this information, all the access that
- 1:51:54we have to getting, I guess you could say, a healthier view on
- 1:52:01the truth and then exposing the darkness.
- 1:52:03What is your advice on how to just enter into that place of
- 1:52:07comfort, trust God through the process?
- 1:52:09What what do you do personally and, and give us some
- 1:52:12encouragement here as we kind of wind down a little, OK, I think.
- 1:52:16The most important thing is to connect with those who share
- 1:52:23some of these curiosities and build that community.
- 1:52:28It's, it is a family. We are going to the same place
- 1:52:32eventually. I think there's a deeper
- 1:52:34understanding that people may have looked into this stuff
- 1:52:37where it's like, OK, we, we may be geographically separated, but
- 1:52:42we have a very deep understanding about where things
- 1:52:46might be headed and where we are ultimately headed.
- 1:52:49So I think it's important for the younger generation to
- 1:52:52connect, build community and have those communities here.
- 1:52:56Here's the thing, the I didn't go deep into the topic of the
- 1:52:59network state, but it's something that this guy named
- 1:53:02Bellagi came up with. He wrote a whole book on it.
- 1:53:04It's called Network state. The idea is that as time goes
- 1:53:08on, social media platforms or different ideologies even, they
- 1:53:13will become, it's their own nations that are represented in
- 1:53:17the stage of nations, but they won't be tied geographically.
- 1:53:20It won't be geographical things that make this particular nation
- 1:53:26a nation. It will be for example,
- 1:53:28Facebook, let's say anybody who's on Facebook, you're part
- 1:53:31of Facebook nation, you are part of the network state instead of
- 1:53:35a nation state. So this whole idea was presented
- 1:53:39by Balaji who was a, he became a billionaire from selling like
- 1:53:43some kind of biotech company. So he doesn't address that side
- 1:53:47of things, but I bring it up because we will live more and
- 1:53:53more in a connected world, quote UN quote.
- 1:53:57I know people are afraid of a cyber pandemic or some kind of
- 1:54:01outage, but I think that will happen at some point.
- 1:54:04But you know, that means they take down their whole
- 1:54:07surveillance infrastructure. So I don't know that they want
- 1:54:09to necessarily do it, but using this technology, connect with
- 1:54:14the people, especially locally, obviously, but around the world,
- 1:54:20I think would, and, and look, this is something that is ideal.
- 1:54:24I don't know if this is gonna happen, but if you're out there,
- 1:54:26you're young and you're into this stuff, connect with other
- 1:54:28people that are into it, talk about it, you know, make
- 1:54:32friendships Canary Cry. We've seen people meet and get
- 1:54:35married and, and the whole thing.
- 1:54:37So we've, we've seen this happen.
- 1:54:38This is a communal thing. So that's what I would
- 1:54:42recommend. Connect with people from all
- 1:54:44over the world who share in at the very least, the curiosity
- 1:54:48and, and be a part of that community And, and what I feel
- 1:54:51responsible to do, especially moving forward after age of
- 1:54:54deceit four more and more, it's on my heart to foster that
- 1:55:00community experience and make sure that there can be a
- 1:55:05generation of people that can exist on the Internet.
- 1:55:08And, and it's sort of a cool thing too if we are all here,
- 1:55:11especially like web three, if we're all on web three and we've
- 1:55:15got our PF PS, which means profile pic.
- 1:55:19And a lot of times if it's an NFT, which you guys have
- 1:55:22probably heard about, then you can use that as your, your
- 1:55:26handle your, your image on social media and you can, you
- 1:55:29can act as a unit almost as a hive mind.
- 1:55:32And of course there's a beast hive mind, but there's also, you
- 1:55:35know, being of one mind in Christ, as it says in
- 1:55:38Philippians. So, and actually the one mind in
- 1:55:41Christ is mentioned a lot more than the the beast hive mind.
- 1:55:44So just keep that in mind. But that that that connection
- 1:55:53and having that experience of Web 3 for the young people and
- 1:55:58knowing that one day there'll there's a line that we all agree
- 1:56:02on that, which is sort of this biological, at least for me
- 1:56:04anyway. It's this biological line of
- 1:56:06like, if they want to really get into my DNA and whatever biology
- 1:56:10that's no for me, I'm going to recommend highly no for family
- 1:56:14and everything else. And, and at that point there, we
- 1:56:19will know and we will know what to do in getting off of it.
- 1:56:23Get out of Babylon. You know, just letting go of
- 1:56:25that whole web three thing and just the Internet and all that
- 1:56:29stuff and going back to the fundamentals of your community
- 1:56:34locally, physically. And that's why I think, you
- 1:56:37know, it's connect with people all over, all over the world so
- 1:56:40that you may have a place to go or people to connect with if and
- 1:56:43when something happens. And just leverage the time we
- 1:56:47have now because I feel that that day is coming at some
- 1:56:50point, maybe not in my lifetime, but I don't know.
- 1:56:53It sure seems like something like that's going to happen in
- 1:56:55our lifetimes. Very well, good and very.
- 1:56:58Good advice. I I think that's what me and you
- 1:57:01both express quite openly is, is the loneliness starting out in
- 1:57:07these journeys. And, you know, the advice is
- 1:57:10good to find people to do life with.
- 1:57:13Yeah. You know.
- 1:57:14And you know. Talk about these things and and
- 1:57:17don't be ashamed of experiences. You know another thing is people
- 1:57:21do come on and share stuff that has happened to them.
- 1:57:24Supernatural encounters, events. God, I just have, I've had a
- 1:57:29weird life, man. I've never been abducted by
- 1:57:32aliens or nothing like that. But I mean, I've just seen stuff
- 1:57:36and grew up in an old famous Philadelphia farmhouse where it
- 1:57:39was like just creepy and there was like ghost encounters there
- 1:57:42and just strange things like happened throughout the whole
- 1:57:44course of my life. And I'll I just felt like it
- 1:57:48couldn't be talked about, just wasn't the narrative that and
- 1:57:52nobody would care. I had a near death encounter.
- 1:57:54I got jumped by a bunch of guys. I've had all this stuff happen
- 1:57:57to me and it wasn't until podcasting and then finding
- 1:58:01people to do life with, people that are like, listen, spill it
- 1:58:05to me. You know, I'll pray with you
- 1:58:06through this. I'll hear you out.
- 1:58:08A lot of it happens behind the scenes, like not on air.
- 1:58:10But your advice is so valid because if there's one other
- 1:58:14person out there that feels like I used to feel that that's
- 1:58:18enough of a reason to be doing this to, to unlock that and to
- 1:58:22cultivate a place where it's safe to be you and talk about
- 1:58:26what you went through. So your advice is, is, is my
- 1:58:30advice as well to the listeners, you guys, you know, Canary Cry
- 1:58:34meetups, literally, you know, I, I'm actually very interested in
- 1:58:37trying to host one of those in the future or be a part of one
- 1:58:41if there's one around the Philadelphia area.
- 1:58:43Like I think that that's very important just because you can't
- 1:58:47go on doing life alone. I love the story about how you
- 1:58:50and Basil met back-to-back in this big minor mega church
- 1:58:55scenario. And then, like you guys, one
- 1:58:58Bible conversation quickly accelerates into the foundation
- 1:59:02of, you know, look how many years of just, I know it's crazy
- 1:59:04friendship. And bonding.
- 1:59:06And and teamwork together that God has went on to tug you to
- 1:59:10change the hearts and the minds and and affect people deeply.
- 1:59:14And then the ripple effect continues to go out.
- 1:59:18Yeah. Yeah, that's beautiful.
- 1:59:20Thank you. I appreciate that.
- 1:59:22And I I think I called you Joe earlier.
- 1:59:24Sorry, Rod. Yeah, that's fine.
- 1:59:27I. Don't know what I was doing I.
- 1:59:29Was like I bring it's also Joe is my my government.
- 1:59:31Name I go by Rod in the fringe community and I'm just kidding
- 1:59:35I. Saw when I was live I was like,
- 1:59:37this is something Anyway, totally.
- 1:59:40All good, yeah. Yeah, it's.
- 1:59:43It's, I think the community aspect is, is so huge.
- 1:59:46It's been the part that's been the most, in my opinion, in, in
- 1:59:50my experience through all this, the most evidence for me that
- 1:59:55God is behind this and not me or Basil is this community thing
- 1:59:59that's fostered and became a it's, it's just sort of like I,
- 2:00:02there's no control. I, I can't, I can't control
- 2:00:04people. Like, I don't know what you
- 2:00:06know, it's and you come to that realization and it's that's why,
- 2:00:09you know, you get into stuff like this and and you produce
- 2:00:12content and, and you never know what's what's on the other side
- 2:00:15of that, how people are going to receive it.
- 2:00:17But just putting yourself out there, it's sort of, it's in
- 2:00:20hindsight, it's almost kind of reckless.
- 2:00:22It's like, oh gosh, you're, you're sort of putting yourself
- 2:00:24out there with some of these crazy ideas.
- 2:00:26But it's, it was sort of the blessing that was hidden.
- 2:00:29I think at the time. Earlier I was like, I don't care
- 2:00:31what people think. But now I'm like, I'm glad I, I
- 2:00:33did that because one of the things that was crazy to me is
- 2:00:38that when age of Deceit was published, I, I really was
- 2:00:43pretty, I mean, I wasn't lonely in the sense that, you know, I
- 2:00:45had my wife and I had a, a stepdaughter and, and life was,
- 2:00:48there were, there were a lot of fulfilling parts of life.
- 2:00:51But when it comes to the faith journey, it was kind of like I,
- 2:00:53I, there's something, there's something missing, there's
- 2:00:56something else going on that I, I, I needed.
- 2:00:58And it was validation for me that I am not crazy.
- 2:01:03You know, it was part of and, and maybe there was something in
- 2:01:05me that was like, I know that I'm not alone.
- 2:01:08Like I know for a fact that I'm not alone in this sort of crazy
- 2:01:13mindset. So I'm going to put this out
- 2:01:15there and we'll see. And, and for the Lord to use it
- 2:01:20and have, you know, millions of people view it and countless
- 2:01:23other millions that have probably shared it and whatever,
- 2:01:26I mean, it's way beyond my comprehension.
- 2:01:28And so that's why I'm like, yeah, this is, this is God's
- 2:01:30doing. This is a lot less to do with
- 2:01:32me, but it's also like, OK, we're, we're stewards now and we
- 2:01:37have to be responsible with what we're doing and how to, you
- 2:01:40know, push forward and lead this and, and move it forward.
- 2:01:43And, and it's, it's tough, man. It's a tough look.
- 2:01:45Podcasting is not fun. A lot of times.
- 2:01:47There's a lot, there's a lot of a lot of pain, a lot, a lot of
- 2:01:52bad moments, a lot of technology not working the way it's
- 2:01:54supposed to. I mean, there's, there's tons of
- 2:01:57just hours of prayer. Frustration, research, editing,
- 2:02:01just emailing, scheduling. Yeah.
- 2:02:03And it's like it's, it's consuming.
- 2:02:05So it, it, it's, it's not for the faint of heart.
- 2:02:09So if you are thinking about starting a podcast to just just
- 2:02:13know that it's it's blood, sweat and tears for real.
- 2:02:16Yeah. So yeah.
- 2:02:19But anyway, I am, I am very thankful, thank you for bringing
- 2:02:21me on and having an opportunity to speak to you and, and meet
- 2:02:26you, get to know you and, and being able to present some stuff
- 2:02:29to your audience and hopefully they'll check out the film.
- 2:02:32I doubt it's out yet just 'cause I know how we operate over here
- 2:02:39in the community. We had the focus group open a
- 2:02:42couple weeks. No, last week was when it
- 2:02:45opened. And the focus group is basically
- 2:02:48this is another a community thing that's way outside my
- 2:02:50comfort zone. We're basically showing parts of
- 2:02:55the film in sequence to a group of producers.
- 2:02:59And we call all of our supporters producers because
- 2:03:02they literally we say they are producers of the podcast and we,
- 2:03:07you know, give them credit on every episode that we publish.
- 2:03:10And so we, through the specific focus group thing, we have
- 2:03:16allowed them to view the film and give feedback so that I can
- 2:03:20touch up the film before I release it publicly.
- 2:03:23And so we just released I think the first three parts a couple
- 2:03:27days ago. So now if you get in there, you
- 2:03:29might have a couple more parts in there, but I think it'll be
- 2:03:32another 2-3 weeks until the actual film comes out for
- 2:03:36everybody else. So, but if you're interested, go
- 2:03:38to Canary Cry dot Tube. And that's Canary Cry dot Tube.
- 2:03:42I know we have like millions of links.
- 2:03:44That's one thing. I don't know how you're dealing
- 2:03:46with it over there, Rod, but the the tree of Lynx we have is
- 2:03:50just. It's ridiculous.
- 2:03:52It's it's not. I mean, it's funny because I
- 2:03:55used to chuckle at Russ Dizdar's website.
- 2:03:59Do you know Russ Dizdar? Yeah.
- 2:04:01I never got to speak with him. But I'm very familiar with him.
- 2:04:04He talked a lot about satanic ritual.
- 2:04:05Abuse and he worked with police officers and uncovered all kinds
- 2:04:08of crazy stuff in the I think it was the 90s and early 2000s.
- 2:04:11But he, he's passed away, he's home with the Lord.
- 2:04:16But he had talked a lot about, oh, shoot, what was, what was he
- 2:04:23talking about? All the links.
- 2:04:24And oh, the website, yes, thank you.
- 2:04:26Yes, his website was a mess. It was just millions and
- 2:04:28millions of links. And at the time I was like, man,
- 2:04:31we gotta keep it clean, Gotta keep minimal links.
- 2:04:33And now we're like, there's a link for this, There's a link
- 2:04:35for this. And we have millions of links.
- 2:04:37And actually you can go to Canary Cry dot Party.
- 2:04:41It's a party Canary Cry dot Party and you can see all the
- 2:04:44links. So there you go.
- 2:04:45That's saying all that hub. Yeah, it's the main hub.
- 2:04:49It's the tree, the Canary cry. Hive mind link Central zone Yes
- 2:04:55yes and. Actually, I just tried it and it
- 2:04:57did not go there. So I'm I'm troubled.
- 2:04:59I'm troubled. That's something.
- 2:05:02On the back end. Has stopped working, which is
- 2:05:04again, this is, it's been, it's funny because publicly we have
- 2:05:07been, Basil and I have just been complete klutzes on the computer
- 2:05:12machine, which is, you know, sort of part of our stick now or
- 2:05:14something. But as time goes on and we go
- 2:05:17into quantum computers, you know, I'll just have to think my
- 2:05:23whatever e-mail and it'll go out there.
- 2:05:25But I don't know, I think we'll be offline before all that
- 2:05:27happens. Hopefully.
- 2:05:29Yeah, hopefully. We'll be we'll be offline before
- 2:05:31that happens. Chopping logs, yeah.
- 2:05:34Back. Hey, you know, there is
- 2:05:36something about just having an axe or rope in your hands that
- 2:05:42makes you realize that a keyboard just can't do it, you
- 2:05:45know? Yeah.
- 2:05:45Yeah, I know. I.
- 2:05:47I have samurai blood, literal samurai blood.
- 2:05:50I I understand the cathartic nature of holding a stick and
- 2:05:56whacking a rock or, you know, something like that.
- 2:05:58Just just getting out in nature. And, you know, people say touch
- 2:06:01grass. Yeah, touch grass, hit rocks,
- 2:06:03like just go outside. Well, and that, that's what's
- 2:06:06funny, is like. They're doing this whole thing
- 2:06:08where there's huge flying killer spiders hitting the East Coast.
- 2:06:14I know we did. Yeah, we did.
- 2:06:15That story yesterday, yeah. These humans, OK yeah, yeah.
- 2:06:18And I'm just like. OK, so every single year there
- 2:06:21is some reason why you do not want me to take my shoes off and
- 2:06:25go walk around out in the green grass of my yard and get some
- 2:06:29sunlight. It's just yeah, it's just
- 2:06:31amazing the effort that is put into the your tactic and and
- 2:06:35that's, you know, even just kind of laughing a little bit and
- 2:06:38just jumping around on some of this stuff is important because
- 2:06:42really that's that's what we hope you guys do.
- 2:06:45You keep your peace. We hope that you've learned
- 2:06:47something and that you're edified and just encouraged
- 2:06:51through this conversation that me and Gonz had here tonight.
- 2:06:53It was a total honor to have Gonz on.
- 2:06:57Basil was on on episode 100. The really the only other, well,
- 2:07:02I quit. I shouldn't say this because
- 2:07:03there I'll probably think of somebody later, but there was
- 2:07:06the late Doctor Chuck Missler that was like one of my heart
- 2:07:09throbs to interview and that's not an option at this point in
- 2:07:13time. But it was you and Basil, we're
- 2:07:16just up there, just the foundation you guys laid in the
- 2:07:18beginning. So wow, highly recommend you
- 2:07:20guys go over and check out Canary Cry Radio, Canary Cry
- 2:07:23News talk. I I really appreciate.
- 2:07:26You having me on, I didn't realize that I hadn't talked to
- 2:07:30him. I promised you that I would come
- 2:07:31on this show to talk about Age of Deceit 4.
- 2:07:34And I'm glad I did. I'm glad I did because it's, you
- 2:07:38know, I've been so much, there's been so much building up in my
- 2:07:40brain. Sometimes it's nice to talk to
- 2:07:43somebody that's not Basil, you know, to talk about all some of
- 2:07:47this stuff and getting some some feedback on it.
- 2:07:49So appreciate that. And yeah, if you've never

- 2:09:14where there seemed like there was no way.

- 2:09:20to the ears of those who need to be woken up and just those who
- 2:09:23have the pureness in them to just challenge what they see
- 2:09:27that's wrong with the world. God, and let it encourage them.

- 2:09:54to use us, Lord, to get your message out.
- 2:09:57And Lord, please use our lips, use our tongues, and spread the
- 2:10:02word and spread the goodness and the truth that people need to

- 2:10:23tell us who you are and welcome us to the Millennial Mustard
- 2:10:26Seed Podcast. Did I say that right,
- 2:10:30Millennium? Sorry, I messed that up.

- 2:10:40listening. To the Millennial Mustard Seed,
- 2:10:42my favorite podcast. Said you got to keep it on you.
- 2:10:57Got that shot, shot. Would you rather be loved by man
- 2:11:04or loved by Christ? Said you got to keep it on.
- 2:11:09You got that shot Shot. Would you rather be in love with
- 2:11:15the world or in love with Christ?
- 2:11:20My mom was sold out for myself. I left my left my way down, told
- 2:11:22my son to even stand out and couldn't find a shrink to pray.
- 2:11:25Now devil play, I'll find a straw.
- 2:11:27I never thought I'd see her cross the line.
- 2:11:29I thought that I would always be stuck.
- 2:11:32I can't fathom trying in the deep.
- 2:11:35Every day I woke up had the seizures, what I see house was
- 2:11:38empty, family gone. Shame on me.
- 2:11:40I'm weak, about to take my life. I almost gave in to defeat.
- 2:11:44Couldn't find no way to get him to pray.
- 2:11:47Staying in my lane, find a new lane so I.
- 2:11:52Took a step. Took.
- 2:11:53A step caught up to the Lord, then he cleaned my man and now
- 2:11:58it's up, Up, run it up. Go buck, buck.
- 2:12:02Line after line. I found my money, so I can't go
- 2:12:10back to my old ways. I got to keep it up.
- 2:12:16I can't risk. It came a long way, said.
- 2:12:20You got to keep it on. You got that shot, shot.
- 2:12:25Would you rather be loved? By men or loved by Christ said
- 2:12:32you got to keep it on. You got that shot shot.
- 2:12:37Hey, would you rather be in love with the world or in love with
- 2:12:41Christ? Ellie.
- 2:12:44I've been feeling like I'm lukewarm.
- 2:12:46Gotta make a move go in a world out of the world that I'm still
- 2:12:49trying to do. Don't care if they judge me.
- 2:12:51Father God, just being vulnerable.
- 2:12:53I can gain a word to lose my souls.
- 2:12:54Only if I would I lose. You said the path was narrow.
- 2:12:57You said this was no tightrope. I need time to repeat.
- 2:13:00So if I die, please let me die slow.
- 2:13:02Just Thankfully it ain't done no more.
- 2:13:03You can't. And cut the light on you just
- 2:13:05want us to step in this so we I seen them demons casting out
- 2:13:09their body have my mind bro they're trying to kill my flesh.
- 2:13:12I want to show you what side are because you can't be in love in
- 2:13:15the world if you want to love Christ.
- 2:13:19Said you got to keep it. Oh, you got?
- 2:13:21That shota shota. Would you rather be loved?
- 2:13:27By man or loved by Christ said you got to keep it.
- 2:13:32Oh, you got that shota, Shota.
