- 0:01Speaker 1: The Week in Bible. Prophecy, a Prophecy Watchers podcast.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Welcome to the podcast Everybody, Mono Gonzalez here in studio
- 0:10Speaker 2: with Bill Solace.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Welcome, Bill, Mine. It's great to be back for you.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're covering a lot of the topics. One
- 0:16Speaker 2: of the things that we want to do here. And
- 0:18Speaker 2: if you're listening to this on our YouTube channel or Spotify,
- 0:20Speaker 2: we encourage people to subscribe. That's how you're going to
- 0:23Speaker 2: hear the latest things. And Bill, there's lots of stuff
- 0:26Speaker 2: in the news and one of the biggest things is
- 0:27Speaker 2: in the news lately, which I think is a good
- 0:30Speaker 2: lesson for all of us as Christians who are watching
- 0:33Speaker 2: prophecy and watching current events. I've seen some great memes
- 0:37Speaker 2: as it relates to the Chinese balloon that has been
- 0:42Speaker 2: was seen by many. I didn't have quite I wish
- 0:45Speaker 2: it would have come over Oklahoma, maybe got a picture
- 0:47Speaker 2: of it with the telescope and read and saw some stuff.
- 0:50Speaker 2: But let's talk about this, I mean security threat, national
- 0:54Speaker 2: security threat. What do you think?
- 0:56Speaker 3: Well, I think it was a calculated intelligence gathering maneuver
- 1:00Speaker 3: by China because if you follow the course of the
- 1:03Speaker 3: balloon through the United States before it got blown up.
- 1:06Speaker 3: It was going over some very key military sites and
- 1:11Speaker 3: bases like that, So I think it was strategic. You
- 1:15Speaker 3: were saying you'd heard something before we went on the
- 1:18Speaker 3: set here about there were actually some other things coming
- 1:21Speaker 3: down from the balloon that would be so.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's other balloons now that are being reported
- 1:26Speaker 2: in Latin America and other places around the road that
- 1:28Speaker 2: the China, the one over America that came down through
- 1:31Speaker 2: Canada wasn't the only one. But they aren't just guided
- 1:34Speaker 2: by the winds. They're like, no, this is the weather balloon.
- 1:37Speaker 2: It's guided by the atmospheric winds. Not true at all.
- 1:40Speaker 2: But I saw some images that were describing that that
- 1:43Speaker 2: maybe some that were hanging missiles from them, so that
- 1:48Speaker 2: you know, this thing was up at sixty thousand feet
- 1:50Speaker 2: So now you have these potential missiles that are hanging there,
- 1:53Speaker 2: and as they're guiding over, they can drop them wherever
- 1:55Speaker 2: they wanted, and then they don't have to be you know,
- 1:57Speaker 2: in the sense of intercontinental ballistic missiles, which could be
- 2:01Speaker 2: tracked very easily. But if you're only sixty thousand feet
- 2:05Speaker 2: up and you drop it, there's no defense on.
- 2:07Speaker 3: That, right and they could be relatively undetected. As matter
- 2:12Speaker 3: of fact, along those lines, taking it to another extreme,
- 2:15Speaker 3: there's some articles coming out about this Chinese balloon that
- 2:19Speaker 3: talked about could they put an electro magnetic pulse nuclear
- 2:23Speaker 3: weapon inside of a balloon like that and would go
- 2:25Speaker 3: undetected and they would launch it. Now, of course, many
- 2:29Speaker 3: of your viewers will understand an electromagnetic pulse and the
- 2:31Speaker 3: MP weapon is a nuclear weapon. It depends on the
- 2:35Speaker 3: burst altitude of the heighth thing gets launched and detonated
- 2:39Speaker 3: and then it spreads out at the speed of light
- 2:42Speaker 3: like a canopy and fries everything underneath it. So the
- 2:45Speaker 3: concern would be what they've sent an AMP. These articles
- 2:48Speaker 3: were saying undetected and take out a lot of our country.
- 2:53Speaker 3: But the thing is, I'm looking at a chart here,
- 2:55Speaker 3: Mono that I pulled up for this conversation. If you
- 2:59Speaker 3: burst it out of an AMP one hundred and twenty
- 3:02Speaker 3: miles up, you could take out three quarters of the
- 3:05Speaker 3: country one hundred.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like over Chicago, as they'll say it, and
- 3:08Speaker 2: then it'll fry the electronics, the power grids for most
- 3:12Speaker 2: of the country. Yeah, most of America.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking one hundred and twenty miles up to
- 3:16Speaker 3: take out a lot of stuff. This is only what
- 3:19Speaker 3: sixty thousand feet.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about that, because you know, I think
- 3:23Speaker 2: for us and you and I both is that we
- 3:26Speaker 2: need to be good journalists in the sense of we
- 3:29Speaker 2: need to make sure we do our homework before we
- 3:31Speaker 2: sensationalize or hype things up. And you know, I think
- 3:35Speaker 2: as Christians oftentimes we can have we can have our boogeymen,
- 3:40Speaker 2: you know, and we jump on things or we see
- 3:42Speaker 2: sound bites, which I think is unfortunate that we build
- 3:45Speaker 2: a whole theology on SoundBite thinking, which we need to
- 3:48Speaker 2: do our homework. But that being said, let's put into perspective.
- 3:51Speaker 2: This thing was at sixty thousand feet, which is a
- 3:52Speaker 2: little over eleven miles, and the space station orbits at
- 3:57Speaker 2: about two hundred and thirty miles. So this is way way,
- 4:01Speaker 2: way different in the sense of an EMP would have
- 4:04Speaker 2: to be at least, according to the chart, one hundred
- 4:06Speaker 2: and twenty miles and up. So the idea of having
- 4:10Speaker 2: an EMP on this balloon would be really, it just
- 4:15Speaker 2: doesn't work right.
- 4:17Speaker 3: And we're not nuclear physicists here, we don't know the
- 4:20Speaker 3: exact first altitudes, but the chart I'm looking at it
- 4:22Speaker 3: for in the chart anyway, Yeah, eleven miles up, you're
- 4:24Speaker 3: not going to take out a whole big chunk maybe
- 4:27Speaker 3: part of a state.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Part of a state.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, would China do something like that
- 4:31Speaker 3: knowing that we've got a history of using nuclear weapons
- 4:34Speaker 3: in the Japan. So I don't necessarily think that that
- 4:39Speaker 3: was a threat of an emp not from a.
- 4:43Speaker 2: We could be wrong. I'm happy to be wrong on that,
- 4:45Speaker 2: I think, but we just need to be careful before
- 4:47Speaker 2: we make statements. But nevertheless, what we do know is
- 4:50Speaker 2: it was pushing. It was pushing against the country. It
- 4:54Speaker 2: was challenging us, and the Pentagon is backtracking and what
- 4:58Speaker 2: they did and didn't do, and we knew it the
- 4:59Speaker 2: whole time, and it wasn't a failure. But it seems
- 5:03Speaker 2: like it was a failure because any intelligence that they
- 5:05Speaker 2: could have had could easily have been sent already. So
- 5:09Speaker 2: whatever's there, it's not like they destroyed the hard drives
- 5:12Speaker 2: that it's already been transmitted. So I'm really curious whether
- 5:15Speaker 2: they will tell us after they destroyed it. And it's
- 5:19Speaker 2: in the ocean, you're not very deep off in North
- 5:21Speaker 2: Carolina or the Carolinas. What are they going to tell
- 5:24Speaker 2: us what was on it or what was there?
- 5:25Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, well what was transmitted while it was
- 5:28Speaker 3: in flight to China? All kind of intelligence that they
- 5:30Speaker 3: already have. So yeah, I mean we're living in that
- 5:33Speaker 3: type of world right now.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to be diligent. Let's talk about another
- 5:36Speaker 2: thing which has been interesting is I've seen again good
- 5:40Speaker 2: journalism and bringing that up is I didn't watch the Grammys,
- 5:45Speaker 2: but I saw enough pictures and I did watch a
- 5:47Speaker 2: couple little pieces of the video. What in the world
- 5:52Speaker 2: is going on in our country?
- 5:53Speaker 3: Oh, you're referring to Sam Smith's satanic act that the Gray.
- 5:58Speaker 2: One, his performance.
- 6:00Speaker 3: He won an award for his song Unholy. You know,
- 6:03Speaker 3: interestingly about I mean it was unapologetic, purely satanic activity
- 6:08Speaker 3: because it was going to go with that song that's
- 6:11Speaker 3: the hit Unholy. The fact I would just say this,
- 6:14Speaker 3: one of the lyrics in that song talks about Mommy
- 6:16Speaker 3: don't know, Daddy's getting hot at the body shop doing
- 6:19Speaker 3: something unholy. That's the hook to that song.
- 6:22Speaker 2: So you know the auto body shop. Is that what
- 6:24Speaker 2: you mean?
- 6:25Speaker 3: Well, that's what you would think. But you know, people
- 6:27Speaker 3: if you go to Urban Dictionary, here's what that means.
- 6:30Speaker 3: From the euphemism. It's a strip club, topless bar, or
- 6:34Speaker 3: other adult entertainment where adult men and women remove most
- 6:37Speaker 3: of their clothing in exchange for money. Yeah, it's a
- 6:39Speaker 3: strip club kind of thing, is what he's talking about.
- 6:42Speaker 3: And of course, you know this brings us to the
- 6:44Speaker 3: thought of Isaiah five twenty. What are those who call
- 6:47Speaker 3: evil good and good evil?
- 6:48Speaker 2: Right?
- 6:48Speaker 3: And I think two Timothy might be worth reading some
- 6:52Speaker 3: of the highlights of two Timothy three.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's see this, because again, the we're looking
- 6:57Speaker 2: at our culture slide faster that I can't even imagine.
- 7:01Speaker 2: I mean, I've been following this for thirty years, but
- 7:05Speaker 2: it's amazing how things slide so fast. It says this,
- 7:08Speaker 2: but know this secontifty three to one. Then in the
- 7:11Speaker 2: last days, perilous times will come, for people will be
- 7:15Speaker 2: lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient
- 7:23Speaker 2: to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving slanderers without self control,
- 7:29Speaker 2: brutal despisers of good, traders, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure
- 7:35Speaker 2: rather than lovers of God. So here we have right here,
- 7:37Speaker 2: we have unholy, we have proud, we have blasphemers. I mean,
- 7:41Speaker 2: these are people that again, the very title of the
- 7:44Speaker 2: song is probably a mockery. Certainly it's an intentional mockery
- 7:48Speaker 2: of what would be considered holy, and they're proud of it.
- 7:51Speaker 3: That's right. If you watch the performance, and you can
- 7:54Speaker 3: watch it on YouTube.
- 7:55Speaker 2: We don't encourage you too, I don't advise it, but you.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Clearly see it was all about being unholy. Yeah, satanic.
- 8:00Speaker 3: He had a hat on with horns, red hat red horns.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Everybody's dressed in red. It was really satanic.
- 8:07Speaker 2: When we look at our we look at our culture,
- 8:09Speaker 2: and we see the ways in which there's there, it's
- 8:14Speaker 2: as if Romans one is here. We're living this in
- 8:16Speaker 2: Romans one, twenty four, twenty six, and twenty eight three
- 8:19Speaker 2: times it talks about God abandoning a culture and one
- 8:23Speaker 2: that has exchanged worship of Him for worship of creatures
- 8:27Speaker 2: and climate. You name it in Roman chapter one, and
- 8:30Speaker 2: God gives them over and it's a similar list to
- 8:33Speaker 2: what you see here. God. God says, well, you abandoned me,
- 8:36Speaker 2: then I'm just going to step back. These aren't even
- 8:38Speaker 2: things that God is doing. He just simply is saying,
- 8:41Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you as a culture slide into your
- 8:45Speaker 2: own wickedness and he's going to remove his grace, which
- 8:49Speaker 2: is not He doesn't owe us that. And now what
- 8:52Speaker 2: we're watching in front of us is somewhat of a
- 8:56Speaker 2: moral country, not a perfect country. No country's perfect, but
- 8:59Speaker 2: the United States is gone from the fifties of people
- 9:02Speaker 2: being at church, nuclear family where you remember, and they
- 9:07Speaker 2: wouldn't even show a husband and wife kissing. And then
- 9:11Speaker 2: what two generations? Maybe this is what we have on
- 9:14Speaker 2: our on a public demonstration of television.
- 9:17Speaker 3: I know and you know that Romans one is a
- 9:19Speaker 3: good example because I think it's called abandonment wrath yep.
- 9:22Speaker 3: And Romans one twenty four talks about the giving over
- 9:25Speaker 3: to given over to a depraved mind. Depraved mind Number
- 9:28Speaker 3: twenty six talks about sexual perversion given over to Romans
- 9:32Speaker 3: one twenty homosexuality yep. And the Hebrew word is Greek
- 9:37Speaker 3: word is dido denomi? I think it is. And Mark
- 9:41Speaker 3: Kyscock does a good take on this. He says, it's
- 9:44Speaker 3: like you can let a dog off of a leash
- 9:46Speaker 3: and untrained dog and just let it run, and that's
- 9:49Speaker 3: sort of giving over that way, or sort of pushing
- 9:51Speaker 3: a child down the slide, sort of giving a little push.
- 9:55Speaker 3: But what Mark says is when you see those things,
- 9:58Speaker 3: it means God's already given over to these things. And
- 10:01Speaker 3: we're already seeing these things have sexual perversion, the Sam
- 10:04Speaker 3: Smith thing we saw on the Grammys, homosexuality. God's already
- 10:08Speaker 3: abandoned that country. He's already given over when you see
- 10:10Speaker 3: those things in operation. Yeah, so that's where we're right now.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's it's it's a pat it's beyond the
- 10:15Speaker 2: point of return in the sense of a culture. And
- 10:18Speaker 2: uh doesn't mean that people can't be saved. And what
- 10:20Speaker 2: do we do? You know, we don't. We don't promote
- 10:23Speaker 2: the violence or antagonism or anybody that is an unbeliever
- 10:28Speaker 2: or wicked. We pray for them. Our heart is to
- 10:30Speaker 2: see them rescued from from the devil's blindness who's deceived
- 10:34Speaker 2: them into a joining and being so fleshly green. Are
- 10:38Speaker 2: we better than them?
- 10:39Speaker 1: Bill?
- 10:40Speaker 3: No, But that's why we call this stuff out.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 10:43Speaker 3: You know, evil's hiding in plain sight, yep, you know.
- 10:45Speaker 2: So God's grace is sufficient and it is enough, and
- 10:48Speaker 2: what we we pray for salvation for them. We pray
- 10:50Speaker 2: for that their eyes would be open, just like ours
- 10:52Speaker 2: eyes needed to be open at one time. And so
- 10:54Speaker 2: again we're not saying we're any better, but we do
- 10:56Speaker 2: call it out because it is right. When people UH
- 11:00Speaker 2: call things like this tolerance or good, it's a violation
- 11:03Speaker 2: of Isaiah five to twenty.
- 11:04Speaker 3: That's right, absolutely, amen.
