  Journalist Jonathan Larson reports that U.S. troops were being told that the U.S.-Israeli
• 0:05
  attack on Iran was in preparation for Armageddon and also the return of Jesus.
• 0:14
  Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues,
• 0:19
  discerning current events, defending biblical Christianity, no topic off limits.
• 0:26
  And now, here's your host, David Firazzo.
• 0:56
  God's plan and has something to do with Armageddon in the end times.
• 0:59
  We'll talk about that more with Mano Gonzalez. It's bringing them in.
• 1:02
  Brother, good to see you. Thanks for your time today, brother.
• 1:05
  It is always good to be with you.
• 1:07
  Yeah, well, let's talk really quick before we get into the topic.
• 1:09
  We just heard a very interesting clip on what's going on in our military.
• 1:13
  And people's views on justifying war and biblically.
• 1:19
  But let's talk about rapture in the Rockies.
• 1:21
  That's something you got coming up in June. Tell us about that.
• 1:25
  Yeah, we have 18 speakers. It's going to be one of the biggest
• 1:28
  prophecy conferences of the year in the in the heartland of Colorado Springs.
• 1:33
  June 4th through 7th. And it's always a great time to go to Colorado.
• 1:37
  I mean, it's beautiful. It's a good time to be there in June.
• 1:39
  Some people come early. Some people stay late.
• 1:41
  But it's going to be, again, one of our premier conferences this year.
• 1:45
  So we invite everybody to join us. As you can see, we've got most
• 1:48
  everybody's favorites, which are going to be there.
• 1:50
  So just a good time.
• 1:52
  Yeah, we rub all of those with some great people.
• 1:54
  We were talking before we got on the podcast.
• 1:56
  And just amazing the different men with expertise, the perspectives,
• 2:02
  just what they can benefit the body of Christ with.
• 2:05
  But let's jump into something we talked about a couple maybe years ago with you.
• 2:10
  When we had you on World of View Matters, fascinating.
• 2:13
  It's the Psalm 19 project.
• 2:15
  I know this is something that you're really into.
• 2:19
  And a lot of people that are maybe not aware of astronomy.
• 2:23
  Maybe might be interested in finding out about this.
• 2:26
  Tell us about that, Mundo.
• 2:27
  Yeah, I appreciate the opportunity to talk about this.
• 2:30
  It's interesting what God has done through the years is we have
• 2:35
  Psalm 19 project. Psalm 19 says the heavens declared the glory of God and the skies above
• 2:39
  show forth its Andy work. And so we have now several locations.
• 2:45
  We have an observatory here in Oklahoma.
• 2:47
  We also have one in Virginia and in Idaho.
• 2:51
  And we've just been taking photographs of of God's heavens, God's skies.
• 2:55
  He's amazing objects that he's created, which most of human history has never got to see.
• 3:00
  And so God has allowed us to do that.
• 3:01
  I think we're one of the only ministries.
• 3:03
  I think certainly prophetic ministry that is taking the time to share all the amazing things that
• 3:09
  God has created. We got some good news.
• 3:12
  The one of the things that we're doing is you know, I'm in Oklahoma.
• 3:15
  The skies are okay here, but we got an opportunity to move some of our best equipment
• 3:21
  to the high mountains of New Mexico.
• 3:24
  So we're going to be doing a remote location there, which there is a,
• 3:30
  there's other telescopes that are there.
• 3:31
  It's up at 7500 feet.
• 3:33
  The darkest skies in the country.
• 3:35
  So we are just super excited with even with all the pictures that we have
• 3:38
  taken already, we're looking to exceed those in quality.
• 3:42
  So it's phenomenal what we can do today.
• 3:44
  So you've got, I'm looking over at your sub-stack, prophecywatchers.substack.com.
• 3:50
  And you recently had a post up there from just within the last month,
• 3:53
  called What Is The Psalm 19 Project.
• 3:57
  And I'm looking at, of course, they're not only the picture of the stars and the astronomy,
• 4:02
  but you holding these massive telescopes.
• 4:05
  I mean, these things look powerful.
• 4:08
  If you scroll down the bottom, you're holding this thing that says plain wave instruments.
• 4:12
  What is that?
• 4:14
  The, these are phenomenal telescopes.
• 4:16
  Some of them we have a seven inch refractor, which if people understand that's it.
• 4:20
  That's a very serious refractor.
• 4:22
  We have another one that is our plain wave mount, which is phenomenal.
• 4:27
  I mean, it just tracks, it tracks everything through the sky at night,
• 4:32
  and it tracks it perfectly.
• 4:34
  And so many of these images that we take, sometimes I'll spend up to 60 hours on one target,
• 4:40
  which means I'll do like last night I was taking photographs.
• 4:44
  I got nine hours.
• 4:44
  It's, I love this darkness.
• 4:47
  I got nine hours for one.
• 4:48
  And then hopefully tonight I'll get another nine, another nine.
• 4:51
  And then it, what it does, it just goes right back, follows it all night long,
• 4:55
  takes the picture, and then we get to share the beautiful people.
• 4:59
  If they go to Psalm19.us, I have a couple of shortcuts.
• 5:03
  They can go there and see all of our images.
• 5:05
  People are using them for backgrounds.
• 5:06
  We have calendars.
• 5:08
  It's all, all the stuff is free.
• 5:09
  You can take them, use them.
• 5:11
  It's just, if you want to feel small and see how big our God is, there it is.
• 5:16
  It is.
• 5:18
  God is awesome.
• 5:19
  And he holds us in his hands.
• 5:20
  He loves us.
• 5:21
  And that's really what we're trying to do.
• 5:22
  So you said, if you want to feel small, what does this do for your faith personally,
• 5:29
  as far as creation and just, well, the universe, what God created,
• 5:33
  it's just must, do you go ahead and share a little bit more about that?
• 5:37
  You know, there's three scriptures in the Bible that actually give very specific reference
• 5:42
  to the contrast between the size of the heavens and earth.
• 5:48
  And one of them is in Psalm 103 where God says, as high as the heavens are above the earth,
• 5:53
  which is unimaginable, we don't have a concept.
• 5:58
  That's how much is his love towards us, to those who fear him.
• 6:01
  So when I'm not there, and I'm seeing these things, and most of the things I'm taking picture,
• 6:05
  not all of them, but are in our own galaxy.
• 6:07
  But like last time, I was taking a picture of a nearby galaxy, so-called nearby.
• 6:12
  And you just look at all these things, and one of the images I took just a couple of weeks ago
• 6:17
  was called the Leo's triplet.
• 6:18
  So it's three galaxies I'm going to share with that.
• 6:20
  But I was just zooming in on, I said, this is 30 hours, I counted over 100 different galaxies
• 6:26
  in this single image.
• 6:27
  Again, this is just us.
• 6:28
  I'm not Hubble, but it just, you sit there and you go, that's how much the Lord loves us.
• 6:34
  We can't even compare it.
• 6:35
  And then, as if 55 God says, as high as the heavens are above the earth,
• 6:40
  that's how smarter that, how much smarter he is, his ways are higher than our ways.
• 6:43
  So it keeps you humble.
• 6:45
  I feel loved, but I think, and I go, whenever I'm struggling with what God is doing,
• 6:50
  I just say, God, your ways are higher than my ways, that's infinite.
• 6:54
  And so you got to figure it out, that my job is to trust you.
• 6:58
  And then another mind-boggling thought is, Jesus didn't die for creation.
• 7:02
  He died for humanity.
• 7:05
  I mean, it really is astounding.
• 7:07
  We could spend a whole hour talking about this Monday, but we need to move on,
• 7:11
  because there's so many other things, including what's going on in Iran right now.
• 7:17
  And before we get to, our opening clip was what's going on in the military
• 7:21
  and their justification of war based on Biblical Armageddon, the end times.
• 7:25
  Let's talk about Iran, the war, the prophetic implications for Ezekiel 38, 39.
• 7:30
  Whatever you'd like to share on that.
• 7:32
  Yeah, this is a lot of people are asking this question, because as we know,
• 7:37
  it's Scripture's true. So there is a guarantee that Iran, along with Turkey,
• 7:43
  and most likely Russia, and a few other nations, are going to, in the future, in the latter
• 7:50
  times, Ezekiel 38 says that, that they will come from the north and they will attack Israel.
• 7:56
  So we know that's guaranteed.
• 7:58
  And the question has always been, through the last decades, is how does all this play out?
• 8:04
  Because if you go back in the early 90s or even, I would say, before the year 2000,
• 8:09
  Turkey was extremely friendly with Israel, and those that were prophecy watchers back then
• 8:14
  are going, well, how is this going to work out? Again, we know the Scripture's true.
• 8:17
  And of course, now enter Erdogan, right? So we know how he has changed the dynamics,
• 8:22
  and now people are like, oh, wow, things can change actually relatively quickly,
• 8:26
  where prophecy comes true. And so one of the things I think is important is people ask,
• 8:31
  is this contributing to it? Well, of course it is. Everything is contributing towards that future
• 8:37
  prophetic development. But this is not Ezekiel 38 at all. But the question is, is there going to be
• 8:44
  regime change? Nobody knows the answer to that. It seems to be that's what the current
• 8:50
  US government wants is for the people to rise up. But all we know is this,
• 8:55
  Scripture is going to be true. And it is true. And so that will happen one day. But as we see the
• 9:02
  basically, the unfanging, the defanging of Iran right now, they're not going to go away.
• 9:09
  They have a future appointment. So in one sense, too, I think one of the ways which I do think
• 9:14
  this is contributing to Ezekiel 38 is you see several times in that chapter a couple Hebrew
• 9:21
  words that are used that Israel is dwelling betach confidently or quietly. And really what that
• 9:29
  doesn't mean is that they don't have any enemies. What it means is that phraseology appears
• 9:36
  many times in the Scripture together. And one of them is in the book of Judges. And what it's
• 9:39
  describing is that you have a people, in this case Israel, is dwelling confidently and they're
• 9:45
  not worried about being existentially removed. That's really the phraseology. And so what Israel
• 9:52
  and the United States are doing now in defying the nuclear program is contributing exactly to that
• 9:58
  scenario. Because Israel, if they can do this, I don't think they'll ever be completely,
• 10:05
  I mean, they're always going to have enemies. We know that. But they're going to be dwelling
• 10:08
  confidently when that future war happens. And this is contributing 100% to that.
• 10:12
  Very interesting those words in how they look at things based on the translation of those words.
• 10:19
  When you were talking, I was thinking, you know, it just seems like the leaders that are left
• 10:24
  in Iran or the ones that may, you know, step in, seems like they're doubling down, seems like they're
• 10:31
  their hearts are hardened. It makes me think of Pharaoh and the hardening of Pharaoh's heart
• 10:38
  in the Old Testament. And it's very interesting. Evil is not going to stop. They're not going to quit.
• 10:43
  I mean, because this is a spiritual battle first. And it is demonic. And so I don't, I don't know
• 10:50
  what it's going to take. But you're quick thoughts on that, Mondo. Yeah, it's interesting because
• 10:55
  they've been talking about allegedly. We don't know all the information, but allegedly it was
• 11:00
  they're making the claim that Trump is speaking to them through the Omani group, through Oman
• 11:07
  and asking for, hey, let's go back to negotiating table. And Iran's response was the only reason,
• 11:14
  the only way we would go back to the negotiating table is if it included a clause where Israel would
• 11:20
  cease to exist. Okay, you want to talk about hardening of heart. And that really is their goal.
• 11:28
  At least they've been honest. At least this is forthright. But before they've kind of,
• 11:32
  they're masters of manipulators and really they lie and they delay and everything else. But
• 11:38
  that really pretty much puts it on the table that they're not interested. Their goal is death to
• 11:43
  Israel. And then next death to America. So nothing's changed. I'm glad you brought that up. Let's be
• 11:49
  reminded the way they see. This is their worldview. The way they see Israel is a little Satan.
• 11:55
  They see America as the great Satan. This is a regime that is brainwashed and programmed. Maybe
• 12:01
  generations to say death to Israel and death to America. We've seen the videos of the crowd shouting
• 12:08
  death to America. We have to remember that. A lot of people that are opposing everything that
• 12:14
  President Trump does and everything that he's done over there in Iran are forgetting that these
• 12:19
  are very real enemies of America. Not just Israel. Israel is just taking the hits because they're
• 12:24
  close logistically, you know, but they hate America as well, don't they?
• 12:31
  Oh, this is the way you have so many of these people who again are very naive. Either they don't
• 12:35
  understand radical Islamic theology or they don't understand the history of Iran since 1979 and
• 12:40
  gaining control of the country of Iran. This group, again, the only thing lacking for them to
• 12:48
  accomplish those two goals is the means. And this is why I'm 100% in support of removing them,
• 12:55
  their nuclear weapons, and pushing them back 10, 20, 30 years if possible, pushing it, kicking
• 13:01
  the can down the road as much as they because again, the only thing they're lacking is the opportunity.
• 13:07
  And there's no doubt if you're going to send hundreds and hundreds of missiles just indiscriminately
• 13:12
  at population centers, they don't care if it hits a school, they don't care if it hits a hospital,
• 13:17
  you know, that doesn't matter. That, that sort of radicalism, if they had a nuclear weapon,
• 13:23
  it, that's, that doesn't bother them. And so whether it's in Israel proper or in, if they had
• 13:29
  the means, again, to do it in America, they absolutely would. So this is called a preemptive
• 13:34
  deterrence. I mean, to me, anybody that doesn't see that is simply just ignorant of the history of
• 13:41
  their rhetoric and their willingness to completely fund all the terrorism going around the surrounding
• 13:50
  Israel and everywhere else too. Oh my goodness, this is, you know, and I mean, it's been going on
• 13:55
  for way too long and we've been very ignorant of it in part due to our ignorance of the Bible,
• 14:01
  but also our media and the cover up and the worldview war in our own media in America. But that's
• 14:07
  for another podcast. Let's go back to that opening clip now, Mando, is, is it true that some
• 14:12
  military personnel are being instructed not to fear because this current military mission is
• 14:20
  part of God's plan. Let me read a quote for you, but you sent me this video. Thank you. It says,
• 14:27
  a combat unit commander told non-commissioned officers that are briefing recently that the Iran
• 14:35
  war is part of God's plan and that President Donald Trump was anointed by Jesus to light the
• 14:42
  signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to earth. And this is according to a
• 14:50
  complaint by a non-commissioned officer. And we've got other quotes to read, but Mando, just your
• 14:57
  thoughts on that, this perspective, very interesting, hey? It is extremely interesting. Look, I have a
• 15:02
  prophecy guy. You know, I got saved in 1993. I'm a prophecy guy all the way. I don't read that in
• 15:07
  the Bible anywhere. You know, and I believe that there's certainly Armageddon is in the future.
• 15:12
  There's no doubt Jesus is returning. I believe it 100%. But nowhere does the Bible instruct a Christian
• 15:20
  to try to hurry or to contribute to the return of Jesus. I mean, he's he's got it under control.
• 15:26
  But so to see some of this, the sad thing about it is there's a lot of viewpoints out there that I
• 15:32
  think are wrong. But here you have a viewpoint that is going to end up hurting truly people like
• 15:39
  us who talk about prophetic developments in a very rational way. It's not going to help our cause.
• 15:45
  We unfortunately, we're going to get thrown in. And as that video showed, anybody that believes in
• 15:50
  a futuristic idea of the book revelation gets thrown in with these guys who do not
• 15:56
  represent what I see in scripture. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We've I've seen some false reports on Pete
• 16:02
  Hegseth and his theology and what he believes. I wish I knew more accurately what some of the
• 16:08
  bullet points of his doctrine, it intimes doctrine is. But this is really concerning. And as you said,
• 16:13
  because they're going to lump us all in. All Christians are just calling Donald Trump anointed.
• 16:18
  Now, let's just talk about some of the people in the White House faith office that don't exactly
• 16:24
  have a good biblical worldview. And they maybe they're off on one side thinking of the Trump
• 16:29
  is anointed. And there's some language that goes on. I'm thinking Paula white cane and some others.
• 16:36
  How much of an ear of Donald Trump's ear do they have? Because there's a lot of people in that
• 16:40
  faith office. But could you speak to that and you're concerned about that? Mundo. Yeah, because it's
• 16:45
  interesting because you know, I see that there is a future for for Israel, you know,
• 16:52
  after again, Israel is in a state of rejection of Jesus. So there is a future where they'll be saved.
• 16:57
  But when you so but what you see it with many of the people in his circle, his spiritual advisors,
• 17:04
  they wouldn't be a part of what what I see that their dominion is that they they really want to
• 17:10
  they believe they're going to fix the world and through political means and then accomplish kind
• 17:17
  of a spiritual millennial type idea. And then Jesus will return. So they have a very different
• 17:23
  viewpoint than than a kind of a futurist perspective because we look at it and we go, yeah bad
• 17:28
  things are happening, but Jesus is going to come fix it. I'm not part of that contribution.
• 17:32
  They have a different perspective. And I wonder how much that is filtering in to there's no doubt
• 17:38
  Donald Trump. You know, he's he hasn't ego. Okay, it's that's true. We could all acknowledge it.
• 17:46
  So I wonder, you know, when they feed into this that you're the anointed, you're the anointed,
• 17:51
  you know, Isaiah 45, you're like Cyrus. And of course, Cyrus, many of the religious Jews did that
• 17:56
  a few years ago when he moved the the basically the I'm sorry, the embassy to Jerusalem.
• 18:03
  So in in 2017. So they were calling him that. And so he he loved it. Of course. So
• 18:10
  unfortunately, I think they're giving him bad counsel. Yeah. I agree. And I hope there are some
• 18:17
  grounded. I mean, a sound doctrine biblical pastors and reps in that faith office that are
• 18:24
  also speaking to him. So he's getting maybe more of a full picture as opposed to just one side.
• 18:29
  This dominion aside, the con like the NAR side of things. But let's go back to something
• 18:37
  in the story because the the the report said that US troops are being told that the Iran war is
• 18:43
  part of God's divine plan. Now you mentioned Cyrus Isaiah 45. He was a pagan king. God said,
• 18:50
  I have anointed you. He was a pagan king, but God used him. So whether Donald Trump is saved or not
• 18:58
  only God knows his heart. We don't by his by the fruit. I'd like to see some cleaned up his
• 19:05
  language, his pride and other things. But we don't know his heart, but God is using him. And God
• 19:11
  certainly in his providence, I believe in his patience with America, I kind of saved our country
• 19:20
  by giving us at least a president who aligns more with the biblical worldview in so many
• 19:25
  different areas, whether that be pro life or capitalism versus socialism and some of these other
• 19:31
  areas. But let's read one other quote, Mondo from this report. It says, the non-commissioned officer
• 19:39
  wrote to the MRFF that their commander quote, urged us to tell our troops that this was
• 19:46
  all part of God's divine plan. And he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the book of
• 19:52
  Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ. It's kind of going
• 19:57
  right along with what we already talked about. But is there something we're missing? Are they
• 20:04
  exaggerating? What's the difference between a non-commissioned officer? Could you just your
• 20:08
  thoughts on some of this? Yeah. The non-commissioned officers are those that are in leadership positions
• 20:15
  who are enlisted. So you know, that go up the enlisted ranks rather than being commissioned,
• 20:20
  you know, officially, you know, after, you know, education. So what you see there is, is I
• 20:27
  wondered the same thing. First of all, we are getting this through the military for religious,
• 20:32
  you know, freedom group. So they're already very anti-religion. That's the very nature of their
• 20:38
  group. And so we're getting their version of it. So I'm obviously, you have to take that with
• 20:45
  the grain of salt in one sense because of their connections. But secondly, the other thing is,
• 20:53
  how accurate is this? We know that at least I can assess the theology of it. Again,
• 20:57
  there's the idea of it being in the book of Revelation that this is specific. So as always,
• 21:03
  there's a lot of people in the military. There's a lot of people that are religious in the military.
• 21:08
  I don't think for one second that Trump made the decision. I'm going to go and attack Iran because
• 21:15
  I'm going to fulfill the book of Revelation. I don't believe that for one second at all. So whether,
• 21:20
  and this is, you had, you know, 100 complaints or so apart from, you know, different military,
• 21:25
  30 military installations. So something's getting out there. But who knows whether one person said it,
• 21:31
  and then it's repeated to all the groups. So there's a lot of details missing here. But I do take
• 21:36
  some of it. You got to remember, okay, they have their bias. And so they're going to exaggerate it
• 21:40
  a little bit. No doubt from their perspective. Yes, we're going to see other reports like this,
• 21:44
  especially Christians are going to see this. And people are going to try to use this to kind of
• 21:48
  silence us or whatever. But I want to emphasize that this is the MRFF, the Military Religious Freedom
• 21:54
  Foundation. It's a group that advocates for religious freedom. That means pretty much anything
• 22:00
  except for biblical Christianity. I think we can read into that among US service members. And this
• 22:05
  founder, Mikey Weinstein, see a piece of work. He's a former US Air Force veteran, but he's been
• 22:12
  against Christianity in the true biblical worldview. So I agree with you what you said that this is,
• 22:18
  there's, it's likely not proven, but likely this is very much exaggerated to kind of silence
• 22:27
  believers or whatever, whatever they were, they were really told, right, to make it sound like,
• 22:33
  okay, you better not say anything spiritual, anything religious. So this is just the nature of where
• 22:38
  we're at today. But I think when Trump appointed Pete Hegseth and others and then Hegseth started
• 22:44
  working through the ranks, I think they're trying to root out some of the intolerance of the
• 22:50
  biblical worldview, the trans nonsense that was happening in the military. Manda, we've got just
• 22:57
  five minutes left. Any want to wrap up this story? Any of your closing thoughts on this? And we
• 23:02
  can talk about whatever else? Yeah, the people he was being criticized for having a Bible study.
• 23:07
  Oh, God forbid, he's having a Bible study in the White House. You're like, so this is how far,
• 23:13
  some of the leftist journalism that's gone, the woke is, you know, journalism. And again,
• 23:18
  I would much rather have Hegseth in there on his, you know, everybody's gonna air, none of us are
• 23:23
  perfect. I'd rather have his errors than the the woke leftists and, you know, all the transgender
• 23:29
  stuff that was happening in our military, total, total difference. And so, yes, whenever you do
• 23:35
  anything, theologically or you have Bible studies, you're gonna have a variety of viewpoints in it.
• 23:41
  I think the concern that I have is even in this other video, this same video is you had some of
• 23:46
  the pundits there, calling, you know, Christian Zionism a death cult. And it's like, well, you know,
• 23:52
  first, well, let's let's define what Christian Zionism is or isn't. I find that I've been speaking a
• 23:57
  lot about that because people just throw labels around and people say, are you a Christian Zionist?
• 24:02
  I always say, define it for me. What does that mean? Yeah, what does that mean? I'm not gonna agree to
• 24:07
  your definition, especially labels always aren't helpful. But this is what I see as the problem is
• 24:12
  that to put evangelicals and Christian Zionism as a death cult, all in these things. And then
• 24:18
  we come out and we might say, well, I believe there's a future for Israel. I mean, Christian Zionism
• 24:23
  officially, theologically is defined as you believe there's a future for Israel after they get saved,
• 24:29
  okay? And the land will always be theirs. Well, okay, I believe that. If that makes me a Christian
• 24:35
  Zionist, then I am. But that doesn't mean I agree with, if Netanyahu comes out in Nuke's Gaza,
• 24:41
  well, I don't agree with that. I don't have to support that just because I'm a Christian Zionist.
• 24:45
  So labels get thrown around. I think we got to be very specific with our words and in our new
• 24:50
  nuances. Yeah. Two questions that are very important to ask to agree with what you just shared.
• 24:57
  Ask people, what do you mean by that? Or how did you come to that conclusion to put all Bible
• 25:04
  believing Christians in this basket of Christian Zionism? They've tried to do the same thing with
• 25:08
  Christian nationalism, define the terms please. Because we agree with patriotism. But let's talk about
• 25:15
  what they mean when they throw away, throw around terms like Christian nationalism. Mundo,
• 25:20
  the left is evil. I mean, I'm putting a lot of people in the left category. They're evil,
• 25:27
  but they're brilliant in being word-smiths and changing definitions and then using the new
• 25:33
  definitions to attack or criticize Bible believing Christians, conservatives and others. So they've
• 25:39
  done a great job at this. I'm not giving them credit. I'm just saying we got to be aware of
• 25:45
  that this is happening. Any closing thoughts? You know, I wrote the most extensive study guide
• 25:51
  ever written on the screw tape letters by CS Lewis. Okay. That was one of my projects. Took me five
• 25:55
  years. But that's what you just said is exactly the advice of the uncle screw tape to the devil in
• 26:04
  let's change the words. Let's fill them with the emotion with rhetoric. Truth is irrelevant.
• 26:09
  But if we can change the words and fill it with jargon, this is it. So everything you said was like
• 26:14
  this is screw tape all over again. Yeah. Well, that's the way we're living. People make references
• 26:19
  to Orwell's 1984. And you know, there's another reference to what we're seeing play out now.
• 26:25
  I said, you know, earlier this year, I'm not a prophet, Mundo. I don't claim to be. But
• 26:29
  earlier this year, I said the word for the church this year is discernment. And it's not the
• 26:34
  difference between right and wrong. It's the difference between right and almost right. I think
• 26:38
  that was Spurgeon that said that. But man, there's so much we got to be on top of. But we don't
• 26:44
  need to know everything. We just need to be discerning and come from a standpoint of a solid
• 26:49
  foundation on the biblical worldview. And brother, that's why I love having you on. I love your
• 26:54
  perspective. Great show. Prophecy Watchers. Prophecy Watchers.com. I want to remind people
• 27:00
  rapture in the Rockies. That's a website actually. Rapture in the Rockies.com. You can register for
• 27:05
  that in June, closing thoughts in a minute or less. Mundo Gonzalez. You know, 100% agree. The
• 27:10
  key is discernment. Jesus said that when we get towards the end of the age, the first thing is
• 27:14
  don't let anybody deceive you. Matthew 244. So 100% concur. I don't think that I think discernment
• 27:20
  is going to be the word for the until he returned for all of us. That's right. Not just for the year.
• 27:27
  All right, brother. Thank you so much for your time and friends, support Prophecy Watchers.
• 27:32
  Great ministry. Love you, brother. Thank you again. Thank you for having me.
• 27:37
