  Speaker 2: Hey out there, this is Bob. On Bob's Blues of
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the News. And I'm on the highway of redemption. Yeah,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that's a little tune I done did a while ago.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think we all want some kind of redemption, right?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care who you are. whether you're good or
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: bad or ugly or whatever, we all want some kind
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of redemption. Is it righteous or not? That's the question.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Are you looking for righteous redemption? Are you looking to
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: be redeemed with power and wealth and all that kind
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of stuff? There's only one true redemption, of course. It's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a spiritual kind. And I'm afraid the world is not
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: going in that direction right now. uh unfortunately the world
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: has lost its sense of direction i mean globally i
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: mean something's up right i mean a lot of people
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: think spiritual leaders think uh yeah we're getting close to
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: uh the redemption when you know the messiah the mashiach
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: jesus uh the big the big kahuna whoever you are
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: looking for uh arrives and saves the world from his
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: own self, right? So the signs are out there. I mean,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I'm Jewish, as I say all the time, and I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: admit all the time. And if you look at the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Old Testament, like Zechariah and Daniel and these other prophets,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: often you run across scriptures that talks about the end days,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: about the end of times. I mean, Zechariah, I think
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: if you look at chapters, especially, I mean, Zechariah is
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a funny book. I say a funny book. It's a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: profound book. It starts off with this vision that Zechariah
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: was a guy, you have to realize, was living... At
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the time, the destruction of the first temple. And he
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: had this vision, which is unusual because it was outside
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of Israel. Usually they don't prophesize or have these visions
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: outside of Israel. But he was in Babylon when he
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: had this vision. And it was the chariot, the vision
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: of the chariot. which is, if you look at how
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it's described, it's very mystical. It has like four faces,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: four different bodies, and it's on a chariot, and there's
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a figure atop the chariot, and there are wheels below
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the chariot, and it all has symbolic meaning, which I'm
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: not going to get into the details there because I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: don't understand it all myself, even though I've read descriptions
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of it before. But these are all end times scenarios. Also,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it describes the nature of God himself. And finally, after
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: this vision, Zechariah gets into how Israel has not done
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: what God wanted Israel to do. And, you know, they
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: went off to Derek. They went off the track. They
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: went off the road. Uh... they went off the highway
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: of redemption and started worshiping idols. You know, you've heard
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: that story before. People get fat and happy and everything
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: goes good and then they get lazy and go after
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: stuff they shouldn't go after. You know, become lustful and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: just want to lay around and have pleasure all the time.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So when that happens, the whole society collapses and Sure enough,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: they lost the first temple for that reason, for other
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: reasons as well. And Zechariah, the prophet, was there when
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: it happened. And he also prophesied about what would happen
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: at the end of days. And funny, Persia is mentioned
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: as one of the players, big players at the end
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of days, and how the nations, all the nations, would
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: be against Israel, etc. And, no, the... the War of
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Gog and Magog is often used, which is funny because
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: that ties into what the holidays are right now with
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the Jews. We're going through, we had Rosh Hashanah was
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the new year. Happy 5787, by the way. And then
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: we have Yom Kippur, which was a day of atonement
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: when we all fasted and prayed to God that he
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: would forgive us and We also pray for the nations
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of the world. Sukkot is the holiday we're in now
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: where we build these huts outside. Feast of Tabernacles is
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: called by some. And we sort of eat and sort
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: of live in these little huts for about a week
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to symbolize those huts we had in the desert when
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: we left Egypt and how we are really dependent totally
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: on God. we put a roof on top of these
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: huts that is not permanent. It's made of bamboo or
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: straw or whatever. We have to see through them. So
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it's not a permanent roof and it's not really protecting
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you from anything because we have the clouds of glory
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to protect us, right? These things represent the clouds of glory,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: this roof. And it has to be all natural material.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And the house itself, the shed itself is made of
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: something very fragile. You know, it's put up very quickly.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't last through many hurricanes. Oh, I was thinking
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: about the people in New York last week when they
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: had those Sukkot up and they had the big Northeastern
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: come through. Well, their Sukkot did not stand up very long,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think, there. But here in Atlanta, where I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: am right now, we've had ideal weather for it, so
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I've been enjoying my Sukkot. But anyway... It's very symbolic
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: of what's going on at the end of days as
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: far as redemption goes because, see, the people who don't
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: believe so much in God sort of shun God and have,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you know, think they're the power. You know, they're very egotistical. And,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you know, they think they're self-made totally, you know, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: have no recognition of the divine whatsoever. So we call
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: these people people of the roof, Gog, which symbolizes, which
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: in Hebrew means roof. And these people say, well, I've
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: got a solid roof for my house. I've got a
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: house made of stone. My roof is solid, and I
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: made it myself, or I bought it myself, and I'm
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: responsible for this, and I'm well protected, and it's all me. Well,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you get in a sukkah and you don't have a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: structure like that. It's a very temporary structure and it's
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: very fragile. And the roof doesn't protect you from anything.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: If it rains, you'll feel the rain. So we in
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: this sukkah believe that we are controlled by Hashem, by God.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: That He is the man with the plan. He's the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: force that controls everything. And so we behold Him to Hashem,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to God, which is a different outlook from most of
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the people have. I mean, you look at a lot
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: of these people on the far left. You look at
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: people in Europe who have totally given up and have
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: let all the immigrants come in. They've given up on
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: God a long time ago. That's why they're suffering so
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: much now. And there are many people who have perverted
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the religion of one God, like the jihadists in Israel.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: people from Islam who want to basically conquer. It's a
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: political organization. They want to conquer the world and destroy
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the West. And they do it in the name of God,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: but it's a perverted image of God. It's a perverted
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: understanding of God. And they're more in line to the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: dark side, to the Satan, to the devil, than they
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: are to the true righteous God. Even though God controls everything,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you know, He made everything, even the bad, so we
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: have free will. But basically, since I started out with
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: that song, Highway of Redemption, I got into redemption. So
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: we're talking about redemption today. I didn't know what I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: was going to talk about. I mean, maybe I was
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: going to talk about the hijacking that just took place,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the attempted hijacking of the plane that was flying from
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Israel to Dubai. And amazingly, the co-pilot tried to attack
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the pilot. I guess he tried to bring down the plane.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: He was a terrorist or some crazy dude. More or less,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: he was a terrorist. And I don't know all the details,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: but you get pictures on social media of what happened.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: And it must have been terrifying for the passengers, but
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: thank goodness there were people on the plane because it
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: was an Israeli plane. plane i believe uh anyway and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: they always have an extra crew on the plane in
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: case something happens like this and they took over just
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: in the nick of time to save the plane so
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: i was going to talk about that a little bit
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: but i got into redemption but that these people on
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the plane were redeemed because people were were aware uh
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: professionals were aware um that something could happen and they
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: were prepared. What else can I say? You have to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: be prepared in case something bad happens today. You can
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: never take anything for granted anymore. We don't live in
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: that world anymore. We did before, I don't know, I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: guess before 9-11, right? And then we had Obama and
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: then we had Biden and we had October, we had
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: 9-11 and we had October the 7th. All those events
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: have changed the world. Now we've got AI. That's going
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: to change the world a bit more. So it's interesting
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: to see where we go with that. And we're all
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: looking for redemption, but we might be going in the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: wrong direction. And here in the country, in the United
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: States of America, in this beautiful land, if the left
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: take over or gain power in the midterms, which is
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: coming up, very quickly I think November the 3rd or
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: something is the election for the midterms if they take
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: control I don't know what the United States is going
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to do to save itself because there's so many wackos
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: on that end and they will try to impeach Trump
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: even though I don't agree 100% with what Trump does
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: he's the best thing we have and he's done a
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: lot of good and you know a lot of people
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: are fighting him from outside and inside There's this blue-green
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: alliance that wants to get rid of him and Western civilization.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: And there are a lot of people in our country
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: who do not like our country and want to destroy capitalism.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, Europe is already lost. And the United States
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: could be there soon enough if the wrong people get
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: back in power. But it's up to God, right? And
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: it's up to us because we have free will to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: do the right thing. Anyway, so I hope you're on
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: the right track. I try to stay on the right track,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: though we all make mistakes, right? My wife tells me
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that every day. Well, that's why we got a good woman, right?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: To keep us straight. That helps. Anyway, this is Bob
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: on Bob's Blues in the News. See you next time.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm just going out with that little tune, Highway
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: of Redemption.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Before it's too late, you should get your soul in shape.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Still got room beside my car if you want to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: fly to the other side. I'm on the highway of redemption.
