Latest / Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo / Pete Garcia: Cycles, Empires, And Ever-Changing Warfare (Replay)
Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
- 0:10defending biblical Christianity.
- 0:13No topic, off limits.
- 0:16And now, here's your host, David Fiorazo.
- 0:19Hey, friends, thanks for watching and sharing the podcast.
- 0:22We're going to jump right into it today.
- 0:24There's a lot to cover with Pete Garcia, retired military combat veteran and aviator.
- 0:29He's a writer, speaker, researcher, teacher of Bible, prophecy, and apologetics.
- 0:33And his website is rev310.net.
- 0:38That's our EV310.net.
- 0:42Pete Garcia, welcome back to World View Matters.
- 0:44Good to see you, brother.
- 0:46And it's going to be back with you, David.
- 0:48Yeah, always.
- 0:48So where have you been recently?
- 0:50I know you've been on a couple of trips, including Australia.
- 0:53We have a couple of pastor friends over there.
- 0:55Tell us about your recent trips and where you've been speaking.
- 0:59Yeah, so the last two I spoke at was in Australia, New Zealand.
- 1:03It was part of Tom Hughes's prophecy conference tour down there,
- 1:10called until he comes, or until he returns.
- 1:12I think it was called until he comes.
- 1:14And it was myself, Billy, Frone, Brandon, whole house.
- 1:19Mondo, Gonzalez, Ken Michaels, and then Tom, and then me.
- 1:22So that was an amazing time that the people there in Australia and New Zealand,
- 1:26and they were so grateful for us to come down there,
- 1:31because it's so expensive, and it's such a arduous task
- 1:37to get ministries down there.
- 1:39And even to get materials down their books and things
- 1:41like that shipping stuff down there is really expensive.
- 1:44So it was a really great time.
- 1:47I really enjoyed meeting the people there.
- 1:49And we did our best to try and encourage them
- 1:52to start networking and building communities and their locations.
- 1:56Because when you have like 800 people show up,
- 1:59and you feel like you're the only person in your whole area
- 2:03that is interested in Bible prophecy,
- 2:06and then you talk to the person sitting next,
- 2:07you're like, oh, you're the next town over.
- 2:09And so people like that were making those connections.
- 2:12So we're hoping that should the Lord Terry will go back down
- 2:15and it will be double the size next time.
- 2:18So that's awesome.
- 2:19Friend of ours, Pastor Dean Dwyer mentioned you guys in the conference.
- 2:24And just I'm so glad you guys have that opportunity to go over there.
- 2:27Coming up, you're going to be in Oklahoma.
- 2:30Looks like you're going to be in Mississippi.
- 2:32Anywhere else that people can check your website about?
- 2:36Yeah. So I'll be in Fort Collins, Colorado,
- 2:39on April 6th and 7th.
- 2:41It will be myself and Lee Brainerd there with a church.
- 2:45And we're being brought in by a guy named Steve Schmutzert.
- 2:49Then April 11th through the 13th will be in Guthrie,
- 2:52Oklahoma, and that will be myself, Lee Brainerd,
- 2:55Mondo Gonzales, and Ellie Marzuli.
- 2:58And then May 4th is going to be in Mississippi.
- 3:03And that's me and Jeff Kinley and Chris and Kathy got here.
- 3:10And meeting with those fine folks there.
- 3:12And then prophecy watchers will be at the end of June in Colorado Springs.
- 3:15All right, kicking off.
- 3:16Well, actually, we've already kicked off the year.
- 3:18That's going to just keep things just rolling for you.
- 3:21So glad to see you getting out there, Pete.
- 3:24So today, let's jump into you.
- 3:26You talk about these events a lot when you travel,
- 3:29when you speak, depending on what the conference is about.
- 3:33But we've been sharing emails back and forth.
- 3:36You've been sending me some of your presentations.
- 3:38There's so much.
- 3:39I mean, they can take six hours.
- 3:41Well, we have less than a half hour.
- 3:43So I'm going to let you kick off with whatever one you wanted to go to first.
- 3:46Because there's some fascinating quotes, information,
- 3:49and just go ahead, Pete.
- 3:50Share what's on your heart.
- 3:53All right, so this will be kind of a combination of the two presentations
- 3:56that gave down in Australia, New Zealand.
- 3:59First of which was the ghost in the machine,
- 4:00dealing with the veil that's being cast over the world and cast over the nations.
- 4:06That's blinding people to the reality and to where we are in time and to truth in general.
- 4:12And then the second presentation was the tyranny of the present.
- 4:15And there I'm dealing a lot more with time as a construct
- 4:19and how we understand the times we live in.
- 4:22And so in that, I wanted to really kind of, with you, I wanted to discuss
- 4:27what the Bible calls the times of the Gentiles.
- 4:31And we can look back through history and we can see the rising
- 4:35and falling of empires going all the way back to like the Acadians,
- 4:38Sumerians, the Egyptian dynasties, the Caldeans, Babylonians,
- 4:45Persians, Greeks, Romans, and so forth, you know, up into modern times.
- 4:49And Karl Rove, who was a political strategist for President George W. Bush,
- 4:56once said that empires create reality.
- 4:59And that quote really resonated with me because when you think about
- 5:04those different empires and dynasties and kingdoms,
- 5:07when they are in power, when they're at the height of their control,
- 5:12they create the reality of that day.
- 5:14So they tell the people who they're going to worship,
- 5:17how they're going to worship, what they're going to do and live,
- 5:19and how they're going to live, and where they're going to live,
- 5:21and who they're going to fight.
- 5:23And they create the laws and essentially create the history narrative
- 5:28that they want to pass down.
- 5:30And we've seen that play out over and over and over.
- 5:34And this is the rising and falling of empires has been fairly
- 5:38routine and regular throughout human history.
- 5:41And the point I was making with this particular piece was not that,
- 5:45you know, not disputing that empires create reality they do.
- 5:50It's that transition point between empires.
- 5:53So as an empire is on the decline and it's beginning to fall apart,
- 5:57and then you have another empire rising up.
- 5:59You have these two competing realities that are trying to
- 6:04control the narrative for the world.
- 6:06And I think that's where we are today.
- 6:08We're seeing the decline of the United States.
- 6:10We're also seeing the rise of this globalist entity.
- 6:13And it's taking, it's like a multi-headed hydrant.
- 6:16It's taking all different kinds of shapes,
- 6:18but it's coming at us from academia,
- 6:21from the private industry, corporate world,
- 6:25you know, the economic side, religion.
- 6:28You know, it's coming from many different facets,
- 6:30but it seems like that is what is going to be replacing
- 6:34what I always call Pax Americana would have been basically the
- 6:38the the normal world order or the present world order since the end of World War Two,
- 6:43where America, the United States, led the world,
- 6:47and basically every metric that you can think of,
- 6:49that's coming to an end.
- 6:51And I think our enemies and our allies realize that's coming to an end.
- 6:54So they're accelerating this collapsing,
- 6:57so they can move on to the next thing.
- 6:59And that next thing is why they call it the great reset.
- 7:02The reset is resetting the world order
- 7:05so that the United States is no longer in charge.
- 7:09So Pete, let's go back to the slide,
- 7:10Empire's create reality.
- 7:12It starts with the Tower of Babel,
- 7:14so you've got a Tower of Babel,
- 7:15and that's from Genesis.
- 7:17And it goes really through world history,
- 7:19wars and empires, and then it ends
- 7:21is that the last slide,
- 7:23there's that out of the book of Revelation,
- 7:26explain that to us.
- 7:27And then within each one of these,
- 7:32can you fit the cycle of cycles
- 7:34within each one of these historical markers?
- 7:39Through most of them, yeah.
- 7:40So the last couple of slides,
- 7:42or the last three pictures there,
- 7:46the third one to the end,
- 7:47that is a screenshot from Dark Norse,
- 7:49which is a website that tracks all cyber attacks in the world.
- 7:53And you can see that in any given hour of the day,
- 7:57there are tens of thousands of cyber attacks going on everywhere.
- 8:01Oh my.
- 8:02Coming from the United States,
- 8:03against the United States, yeah,
- 8:04and they run the map in real time,
- 8:07so you can watch it as an attack comes out of the Philippines,
- 8:11and it goes into Japan,
- 8:12or Japan goes into North Korea.
- 8:14It's going all over the place,
- 8:16and so it's pretty fascinating to watch this,
- 8:19that while we go about our daily lives,
- 8:21there is an active cyber war going on all around us.
- 8:25And just today, I mean,
- 8:28the cell phone carriers went down.
- 8:31There was a nationwide outage with AT&T,
- 8:33and then a whole host of other carriers
- 8:36were experiencing all kinds of problems,
- 8:39as well as many websites,
- 8:40and even Starlink was having issues.
- 8:43So it seemed to be rather odd,
- 8:46because you have all these different platforms
- 8:49that are at different places in the world,
- 8:51and even outside of the atmosphere being attacked.
- 8:54So we didn't know if it was cyber,
- 8:55if it was some type of natural phenomenon,
- 8:57with like a solar flare,
- 8:59or something like that impacting anything electrical.
- 9:01Nobody's explained what it is,
- 9:03just yet I'm sure we'll find out hopefully in a few days,
- 9:05but the other two pictures there are,
- 9:09the advancement of robotics,
- 9:10and how artificial intelligence is going to be put into these machines.
- 9:15And then the last one is the swarm technology
- 9:17that's quickly becoming,
- 9:20I think it's going to become the model going into the future,
- 9:23and how to offset advancing technologies.
- 9:27If somebody has an ICBM,
- 9:28or really the world's fastest and best jet,
- 9:32how do you fight against that,
- 9:33or how do you fight against a country
- 9:35that has deck and man at 200 million man army,
- 9:39when we are struggling to even meet recruiting demands.
- 9:41So I think they're looking at these ways
- 9:43to offset those disadvantages we have right now.
- 9:46That's fascinating because technology,
- 9:48we rely on technology so heavily,
- 9:50but yeah, there have been in the last several years
- 9:53the military has had recruiting shortages.
- 9:55Now, there are many reasons for that
- 9:56that we're not going to get into on this podcast,
- 9:58the wokeness and the transgenders,
- 10:00and all the stuff that the administration is doing,
- 10:03but there's a concern in America.
- 10:05They, for some reason,
- 10:07the Democrats don't take their responsibility seriously
- 10:10when it comes to national defense.
- 10:11Your thoughts on that, Pete, before we move on?
- 10:15Yeah, it's inevitable.
- 10:16You can't, when you look at the majority of the ethnic group
- 10:21that makes up the military,
- 10:23any of the military armed forces,
- 10:25it's predominantly white males,
- 10:27particularly from the south.
- 10:29And when you target them as enemy number one
- 10:32in every single kind of metric
- 10:33and you're constantly diminishing them as a people
- 10:37and as a race,
- 10:39it's no wonder why parents are dissuading their kids
- 10:42from not going into the military.
- 10:43I don't want my kids going into the military
- 10:45and I serve 22 years.
- 10:46There's not the same army that it was.
- 10:49So until that changes,
- 10:50I'm telling my 18 year old like,
- 10:54hey, there's better ways.
- 10:55If you need to get college,
- 10:56we'll figure out a way.
- 10:57If you need to go to this place,
- 10:59there's a better way.
- 11:01So yeah, I'm sure I'm not alone in that
- 11:03in terms of parents talking common sense to their kids.
- 11:07So another slide you had was called
- 11:09the cycle of cycles.
- 11:11Is that going to be a next logical step to go
- 11:14because we just talked about the empire's creating reality?
- 11:19Yeah, so basically Alexander Tyler,
- 11:21who was a Scottish philosopher years
- 11:24and you're back in the 1800s,
- 11:26he had this cycle that's very well known.
- 11:28It talks about how the cycle that a nation
- 11:31or kingdom will go through
- 11:33and it starts off in bondage
- 11:35and then it goes into spiritual faith
- 11:36and out of that break courage
- 11:38and then liberty and then abundance
- 11:40and then apathy dependence
- 11:41and then back into bondage.
- 11:43And this has been seen over and over
- 11:45throughout any empire or kingdom
- 11:48that's been around for longer than say 200 years.
- 11:52We generally see this.
- 11:53You can see these patterns repeating.
- 11:56And Mark Twain once said that history doesn't
- 11:58repeat itself, but it rhymes.
- 12:00And so we see this over and over
- 12:02and the reason we see it over and over
- 12:03is because humans don't change.
- 12:04We're still sinful following people
- 12:07who are selfish and self-centered
- 12:08and at our core, we're not good people.
- 12:13If left to our own devices,
- 12:15so this is why these empires
- 12:17and stuff keep repeating the same thing.
- 12:20The other layers on that I put on there
- 12:23come some of that comes from like William
- 12:25Strauss and how who came up with this idea
- 12:28of the fourth turning point.
- 12:29And it talks about every 80 years.
- 12:32There's generally a repeat of the cycle.
- 12:36So each 80 years is broken into 20 year segments
- 12:39and you have the nomad generation,
- 12:42the hero generation, the artist generation
- 12:45and the profit generation.
- 12:48And so we see that.
- 12:50And you can look through the,
- 12:51you can, it's a very simple thing to pull up.
- 12:54I mean, you can just put up how and H-O-W-E
- 12:58and then put up a fourth turning point
- 13:00and it'll show you the breakdown of these.
- 13:03But the thing that is interesting
- 13:06is that they also incorporate these turning points.
- 13:08And we see these turning points
- 13:10very clearly in the United States.
- 13:11But you can also see it through other nations
- 13:14like the English, the French.
- 13:17You could look at the Roman Empire
- 13:18and then you can apply this to many different
- 13:21kingdoms and empires of the past.
- 13:23But the turning point kind of coincides
- 13:26sort of with the industrial revolutions
- 13:28that we've gone through the first, second and third.
- 13:30And now we're in the fourth industrial revolution
- 13:32where everything's becoming automated.
- 13:35Everything is becoming connected to the internet.
- 13:38We have this phrase called the internet of things.
- 13:42The military has a thing called the internet of military things.
- 13:46So everything that can be connected to the internet
- 13:49will be connected to the internet.
- 13:51And I think going forward that's going to play into
- 13:54this new strategy that they're looking at
- 13:56in terms of how they want to control everything
- 13:59into the future and then has to deal with mosaic warfare.
- 14:02And we can talk about that in a little bit.
- 14:03But the quote I wanted to really highlight was
- 14:07by Sir John Glob and I'm just going to read the first sentence
- 14:10and not the whole thing because it's pretty lengthy.
- 14:11But his book The Fate of Empires in the Search for Survival,
- 14:16he writes,
- 14:17the people of the great nations of the past seem normally
- 14:20to have imagined that their preeminence would last forever.
- 14:23And so when you think about today,
- 14:26people that we get in the way things are today
- 14:30are the way they're always going to be.
- 14:32And it's common in every generation.
- 14:35Everybody thinks that.
- 14:37And but it never turns out that way.
- 14:39They mean that the only constant that we've ever had
- 14:42through human history is that everything changes.
- 14:43It's always changing.
- 14:44Absolutely.
- 14:45And so and it's it's only changing now more exponentially
- 14:49because of the pace at which technology is changing
- 14:52and how that's revolutionizing how we live in the world today.
- 14:56Yeah, when we talk about these cycles,
- 14:57it's always been somewhat disappointing,
- 14:59disturbing, sobering for me.
- 15:03Looking at world history and looking at where America is at,
- 15:05you know, we've had the awakening and now we're kind of in the unraveling
- 15:10and between complacency and apathy,
- 15:14we're heading toward dependence and then back into bondage.
- 15:16It's sad to say a great Republic under God.
- 15:19I should say former Republic under God.
- 15:21But we've got to take a quick break.
- 15:22We're with Pete Garcia.
- 15:24Friends, the website is rev310.net.
- 15:28We'll be right back on World View Matters.
- 15:30Today's show is brought to you by Harbinger's Daily.

- 15:57Go to the website worldofviewmatters.tv
- 16:02and just send us an email and our producer, one of the producers, Mike Menzel,
- 16:05will get back to you.
- 16:06So, Pete Garcia, we're talking about all kinds of things.
- 16:10Warfare prophecy.
- 16:11You've got a phenomenal slide called Jigsaw versus the Mosaic.
- 16:15Is that where you wanted to go next?
- 16:17Yeah, yeah.
- 16:18So, I was asked a question in Australia.
- 16:24One of the questions that we couldn't get to in the Q&A.
- 16:26We didn't answer there, but we answered it later in New Zealand.
- 16:28But as I was looking and researching for the answer to this question,
- 16:33it led me down this whole different path of just very interesting things.
- 16:38And one of the things that really stood out to me was the question was,
- 16:43is DARPA like really 50 years of head of where we are with technology?
- 16:48Or is that just kind of like a siop or is that some kind of mind trick,
- 16:52mind fake, they're trying to pull over on the people?
- 16:56And so, as I began researching DARPA and how DARPA is made up,
- 17:01it revealed a lot of interesting things about how their mindset is on things.
- 17:04So, they began in the 1950s after the Russians launched Sputnik into space,
- 17:11and they beat the US into space and the early stages of the space race there.
- 17:16And so DARPA was supposed to be created separate and different
- 17:19from the rest of the Department of Defense,
- 17:21and that it would always be the leading edge on anything.
- 17:24And it would not have the same restrictions and requirements that other projects
- 17:30require going into like developing a new tank or developing a new plane, et cetera, et cetera.
- 17:35And a great example of this is the Air Force going to DARPA saying,
- 17:40hey, we want a faster jet.
- 17:41And so DARPA, they create the planes, the blue planes,
- 17:44so they make this faster jet, and then the Air Force comes back a little bit later.
- 17:47Hey, we want it to go faster.
- 17:48And so they keep going back and forth on this faster and faster and faster.
- 17:52And then DARPA said, well, why don't we just look at it this a different way,
- 17:55instead of making it, you know, in this never-ending quest for the fastest thing ever,
- 18:00why don't we just make it invisible?
- 18:02And so that led them down another way of how to create a plane that can fly through the
- 18:07skies that can't be tracked by any kind of radar or anything.
- 18:09And basically, it flies invisible.
- 18:11And that's where the stealth bomber came out of that concept.
- 18:15And then obviously that cloaking technology was passed on to the F-35,
- 18:19another advanced aircraft.
- 18:20So that technology now has been with us for many decades.
- 18:24But that idea is how DARPA thinks about things.
- 18:27They don't like to take the traditional path on something.
- 18:30They want to think outside of the box.
- 18:32And so one of the ways that they are revolutionizing warfare
- 18:37is moving away from the traditional models of creating a standalone tank,
- 18:43a standalone ship, a standalone plane, a standalone weapon.
- 18:48What they're really focused on now is creating a system of systems, right?
- 18:54So in traditional warfare, you think about a jigsaw puzzle.
- 18:57Each one of those pieces is specifically cut to fit in that one place in the puzzle.
- 19:03And that's how traditional militaries and defense industries have looked at projects
- 19:09as these standalone things.
- 19:11Rather, if you look at the picture below that,
- 19:14there is a mosaic of the Spartan soldier.
- 19:17And if you look at each of those individual pieces,
- 19:20there's just little squares.
- 19:21And the only difference in the squares is the color.
- 19:23And so you can apply different colors to make a different picture.
- 19:27But those can be plug and play anywhere.
- 19:30And so the intent then is to focus more on creating an array of sensors
- 19:36that litter the battlefield.
- 19:38And then those sensors are constantly feeding information
- 19:41back to a decision maker.
- 19:43And that decision maker can be a human sitting in an op center somewhere,
- 19:48or it can be a system, an artificial intelligence system that makes a decision
- 19:53for whether to execute the attack or not.
- 19:56And then the last piece of that is increasing the lethality in that attack.
- 20:00And so that is where they are moving today with technology.
- 20:04And so when you think about why everything is being connected to the internet,
- 20:08everything is becoming a smart device,
- 20:10your washing machine, your car, your watch, your cell phones.
- 20:15I mean, everything is being connected to the internet.
- 20:18Anything that can be connected to the internet will be connected to the internet.
- 20:21And what that does is that's going to create a world wide sensor
- 20:27array across the world.
- 20:29And everywhere you go, there's going to be sensors.
- 20:31And then those sensors are then tied in with things that can execute,
- 20:35make a decision and execute an attack, whether it's a long-range drone that just flies
- 20:40and hovers over the earth and is solar panels.
- 20:42So it's always being recharged as it flies over the earth.
- 20:46And then it can make decisions or it can feed that decision back to a drone on the ground.
- 20:52That was in a kind of a, the status, a dormant status, you know,
- 20:58hibernating, if you will, then it's activated right then and there.
- 21:01And then it can execute an attack.
- 21:03And but that idea of mosaic warfare, at least the strategy of it is not new.
- 21:08And as I was telling you before, the idea of mosaic strategy goes back to the beginning of the
- 21:17church. In a sense, so when Jesus was in the upper room and he's telling his disciples the night
- 21:22before he's arrested and taken the trial to be crucified, he tells him, I'm going to go away.
- 21:27But if I go away, I'm going to come back and take you to be where I am.
- 21:31And then he goes on to explain to them that when he goes away, the father was going to send a helper
- 21:36and this helper, the comforter is going to be the Holy Spirit.
- 21:39And we know later on through Paul's writings and the other epistles that when a person places
- 21:44their faith in Jesus Christ, they are immediately indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
- 21:49So in a sense, we become the sensor here on the earth and we carry out the mandate of being
- 21:54salt and light in the world. And we've had Christians all over the world for the last two thousand
- 22:00years. And I think this is where we're seeing things today kind of trying to mirror that and
- 22:05trying to mimic that because Satan can't create anything originally of his own thinking.
- 22:10He's mimicking what God's already done. And so he is using technology to achieve that end.
- 22:16And then ultimately we know that technology is going to manifest in what we call the mark of the
- 22:20beast. And then that will be used to track everything and control everything on the planet as well
- 22:25as become presumably some type of living sensor everywhere you go. We know that when if you go to
- 22:31if you go to a house, a friend's house and he has Alexa, that Alexa is without you knowing it is
- 22:37going to be interacting with any technology you're carrying on with you, whether it's a smartphone,
- 22:43whether it's your car outside and it can create a digital picture without even seeing you because
- 22:50it can look at everything that's tied to the internet and then does the math on it increases kind
- 22:54of a digital blueprint of you being at this person's house. So it's going to be to that level.
- 23:01There's not going to be anywhere to hide once Satan gets this thing going.
- 23:05So Pete, in the last four or five minutes here, keeping with the military theme,
- 23:08you've got a quote by former secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, and you've got what's
- 23:12called an uncertainty matrix. I know you could take a whole half hour or whatever and just explain
- 23:19that, but can you walk us through some of the bullet points? Yeah, so Donald Rumsfeld, the former
- 23:24secretary of defense, was asked this early on in the the early stages of the Iraq war,
- 23:30talking about the weapons of mass destruction and so forth. And he was trying to explain this to
- 23:34the reporters there and he said, there are known knowns and there are things, there are things we
- 23:39know we know. We also know there are known unknowns and that is to say we know there are some things
- 23:45we do not know, but there are also unknown unknowns and they're the ones that we don't know we don't
- 23:50know. And that sounds very redundant and they're saying all that, but really the unknown unknowns
- 23:57what we call a black swan. Those are those things we don't even know to be scared of, you know,
- 24:03like a sudden eruption of a volcano or something, you know, earthquake or something that happens
- 24:09completely unexpected. But the known knowns and implying this to prophecy, I kind of broke these
- 24:16out in another slide. I just said, we know that Jesus told us specifically that he would come back
- 24:22and come back for his church. And that's repeated in several different places in scripture, but
- 24:27that is something we can bank on. We know we can take God at his word, we can take Jesus at his word
- 24:32that he is going to come back for us. So that would be an example of a known known. We know that
- 24:37he's coming with clouds. We know that that he's coming to take the church first and then he'll
- 24:43come back with the church at the second coming and then he'll conquer the world and rule and reign
- 24:48for the next thousand years. We know that there is known unknowns. So a known unknown would be
- 24:54related to we know he's going to come back. We just don't know when and he gave several parables
- 25:00where he implied that there would be a significant amount of time that would pass between the two.
- 25:05Parable of the talents, parable of the wicked vine dressers and that the gospel will go to the
- 25:10ends of the earth and the parable of the faithful and the evil servant. So there is time implied
- 25:16in there. We just don't know how much time. And then the last one, the unknown known is that we'll know
- 25:21we won't know specifically, but the Bible states we should recognize the season. So even though we
- 25:26are not going to know the air of the hour, there are several places in scripture that implies that
- 25:31we should know the season. We should see it coming based on signs that the Bible gives us to be
- 25:37looking for. So yes, signs of the times and discerning. Boy, we need better discernment. Don't we
- 25:43as a church? Also, you got into some failed apocalyptic predictions. We don't have time to get into
- 25:50that. I thought that list was fascinating. Man, you go all the way back to a thousand AD and you
- 25:55talk about just some of the people that made predictions and oh, so that's a whole another topic,
- 26:01but Pete just leave our viewers with some encouragement knowing that things are changing rapidly.
- 26:07It's hard to keep up with everything, but our faith obviously is in a God who knows the future
- 26:13and we can trust him, right? Yeah, yeah. I think we know storms coming. We get prepared. We
- 26:23stay focused on what God's called us to do and influence those within our circle of influence.
- 26:29So we stay busy about the Lord's work. We keep our hope focused on Jesus Christ and his promise
- 26:35to come back for us. So we keep looking up. We keep watching because those aren't those aren't
- 26:40just simply nice to do. Those are commands that Christ gave us himself to be watching and waiting
- 26:45for him and to be expecting him. And I think that's really what we should be doing here in these
- 26:51last days. Amen, brother. And one of the promises that you named your ministry after Rev 310
- 26:56in the second part of that verse that he will keep us from the hour of temptation which shall come
- 27:04upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth. So we've got some great promises
- 27:11throughout scripture. Revelation is packed, but Pete's website again, friends is rev 310.net.
- 27:18That's rev 310.net. Always goes by so fast with you, Pete. But thanks for all the research,
- 27:24all the work you do and good success on your upcoming events and may God enlarge your territory, brother.
- 27:31Thank you. Appreciate it. It's good to be back with you. Thanks. All right. We'll do it again soon, Lord willing.
- 27:36All right, guys. Another big one coming up tomorrow. But God bless you. And as always,
- 27:40keep speaking the truth about things that matter.
