Latest / Millennial Mustard Seed / S6 198. Rod and Pete - Warnings, Lightnings & Fire
Transcript
- 0:09All right. Well, welcome back, Rod.
- 0:11We are here again to do another mini recording mini episode.
- 0:16And this one came about because we were seeing some things that
- 0:23look like the hand of God in nature and in the world, and it
- 0:29connected back to something from almost a year ago that happened
- 0:33in Argentina. So I sent you a few videos, and
- 0:37I'll put those links in the description of this many
- 0:41episode. The first one was Saint Peter's
- 0:44statue in Argentina in the hometown of the Pope in Buenos
- 0:50Aires that was struck by lightning, I think, almost a
- 0:55year ago. And then.
- 0:57And so that was a Jonathan Cahn video that he had put out months
- 1:01ago and another of his videos just recently talking about four
- 1:07lightning strikes in the United States at the same time just a
- 1:12few days ago on New Year's Eve 2024.
- 1:16And then we see the fires in LA and Hollywood and obviously
- 1:23lightning and fires and things can be coincidental and random,
- 1:28but when they line up in ways that are statistically
- 1:34improbable, we start to go is God trying to get our attention
- 1:40right? Yeah, I mean crying out and
- 1:46sparing not comes to mind because the videos you sent me
- 1:50really going through like, you know, some Jonathan Cahn stuff
- 1:54and and and it doesn't end there.
- 1:56There's so much going on and when you look at it and you
- 2:01know, you know what day we're in, just like Jesus said in the
- 2:05Old Testament, he's like, you can look up and know the weather
- 2:08and know what kind of day it's going to be.
- 2:10Or can you check the spiritual climate?
- 2:13You know, can you know what season you're actually in?
- 2:15Are you in tune with the Father? Are you seeking it out or hiding
- 2:19your head in the sand? And I don't I don't say that to
- 2:21be harsh, but crying out and sparing, not here we are.
- 2:26Isaiah 58 one talks about this. God's giving a direct order to
- 2:30the prophet to speak boldly without holding back to the
- 2:33people of Israel. I'm not insinuating, Pete, that
- 2:36you or I are cloaked in a command from God as Isaiah was.
- 2:41But I think it's pretty clear that we're Watchmen on the wall
- 2:44and we are a part of the body of Christ.
- 2:47And one of our duties is if we see it, we can't help but bring
- 2:52it up. So telling others, speaking out
- 2:55and just warning of these things.
- 2:56You know, I'm actually really interested in you kind of, you
- 3:00know, breaking down and talking a little bit more about these
- 3:03these signals and the interconnected activities that
- 3:06have been going on. I think this is an important
- 3:09time for us to open up our spiritual ears and our physical
- 3:13ears, you guys. Yeah, I think the overarching
- 3:17theme or one of them could be just to be paying attention.
- 3:20And so we invite everyone listening to be paying attention
- 3:25to the signs and the seasons and come to your own conclusion with
- 3:30the Holy Spirit's guidance, asking for discernment on these
- 3:34things. So let's start with the first
- 3:38one from almost a year ago in Argentina.
- 3:42So this lightning strike took place the day before the Pope
- 3:48was set to announce a decree where they were going to bless
- 3:54as a Catholic Church, worldwide Catholic Church, they were going
- 3:58to bless the union of same sex couples for the first time.
- 4:03And so this lightning strike happened on December 17th, 2023,
- 4:08the day before he was going to make that announcement, which he
- 4:12did the next day. And what Jonathan Cahn points
- 4:16out in the video is very interesting and fascinating and
- 4:20dire because Saint Peter is said in Catholic thought to be the
- 4:27first Pope. And so, you know, here you have
- 4:31the modern Pope standing in that office, so to speak.
- 4:35The statue had a Halo that was struck by the lightning.
- 4:40The Halo course rod that symbolizes holiness right?
- 4:45The Halo was removed by the lightning.
- 4:48He had the keys. If you remember Jesus saying I
- 4:52give you the keys of the Kingdom, those key, the keys
- 4:56were stripped away as was his right hand, which right hand is
- 5:01a symbol of power. And so the keys might be likened
- 5:05to authority, Jonathan says. So you have holiness removed
- 5:10where the Catholic Church, its leader, is blessing something
- 5:14that God calls sin. And in no uncertain terms, can
- 5:22you have a lightning strike and remove the Halo and the keys and
- 5:26the right hand the day before that announcement, and I think
- 5:32Jonathan even said there were lightning rods.
- 5:34Around 2 of them, he mentions yeah, around that statue to
- 5:40yeah, to protect it. And then he does talk about the
- 5:42number of times that a strike would happen typically across
- 5:47the board with statues like this.
- 5:49And he, you know, he says out of, you know, 52 weeks in a
- 5:53year, the greatest possibility or at least recorded outcomes
- 5:57are I think it was like there's 20 some odd weeks, you know,
- 6:04that add up to strike ability, right?
- 6:07And then he gets down into the nitty gritty of the likelihood.
- 6:10It's like, I don't know, 10 or 15 times out of a calendar year
- 6:13that a strike could land within the vicinity of the area.
- 6:17So for this thing to hit the Halo, to hit the hand that
- 6:20represents power, the right hand and the keys, all in these
- 6:25specific time slots, these unique days, I'm very interested
- 6:30in this beat. So, so connecting that now to
- 6:33the next thing which happened not long ago, it's the 14th of
- 6:39January today, 2025 as we record.
- 6:43So just a little over two weeks or two weeks exactly December
- 6:4931st and there were 4 lightning strikes.
- 6:52I didn't know this happened, but if you Google it, it's in the
- 6:55news. Two of them in Washington, DC, 2
- 6:59of them in New York. So we have the seat of power and
- 7:04government, and we have the seat of culture.
- 7:08And so the strikes hit the Capitol building in Washington
- 7:13as well as the Washington Monument.
- 7:15And I know a lot of you listeners out there are probably
- 7:17going to know about the occult orientation of so many things in
- 7:23Washington DC, the free Masonic things and symbolism.
- 7:27And the the Washington Monument is no exception.
- 7:31I think if you count it's below ground base, it's like 666
- 7:39exactly. So they they use 66 sixes all
- 7:42over the place. And then in New York, 2 strikes
- 7:46at the same exact time at the Freedom Tower, which was built
- 7:50in place of the Twin Towers and the Empire State Building.
- 7:57So to have all four of those on the eve of 2025 at the same time
- 8:05seems very significant. And it was Barack Obama who
- 8:11actually paraphrased Isaiah 910 and Han wrote on one of the top
- 8:19beams of the Freedom Tower when they rebuilt that he paraphrased
- 8:24Isaiah 910, saying we rebuild, we become stronger, we build
- 8:33back stronger. And that's exactly what Isaiah
- 8:37910 was when Israel was judged for their going after other
- 8:42gods, that they said the bricks have fallen down, but we're
- 8:45going to rebuild with stone and the fig trees have fallen down,
- 8:49but we're going to replace them with Cedars.
- 8:52And that was actually uttered by the Senate Majority Leader the
- 8:55very next day after 911. So here you have that building,
- 9:01the Freedom Tower being struck, Empire State Building, Capitol
- 9:05in Washington, as well as the Washington Monument.
- 9:10I'm I'm to the point in life where nothing is a coincidence.
- 9:13You know, I see patterns. Everything is multi layered to
- 9:15me. Literal, figurative, parabolic.
- 9:20I mean, I see a lot of different things going on here.
- 9:26In a nutshell, pay attention to the signs.
- 9:30Pay attention because these things are not coincidences when
- 9:36they happen like this and we have to say OK, is God trying to
- 9:39get our attention? If these things have continued,
- 9:42these signs have continued. You can go back and read
- 9:46Jonathan Cahn's bestseller The Harbinger where September 11th,
- 9:502001 had all nine of the same harbingers, which which means
- 9:55warnings. The same 9 warnings that Israel
- 9:58had were replayed in New York and across the country.
- 10:03To say this is this is not a coincidence.
- 10:05God is actually using His signature again.
- 10:12And Fast forward 20 some years. Have we as a nation, as a
- 10:16people, as a government, as a culture, have we moved closer to
- 10:20God's ways, more in line with Him, or farther away?
- 10:25I mean, it does remind me, Pete, where Jonathan was saying that,
- 10:30you know, in the Scriptures it says blessing the seed of
- 10:33Abraham, blessing God's people comes with that protection and
- 10:37blessing over not only that individual, but I mean the
- 10:41household, your business, a lot of things.
- 10:44And he does talk about this darkened state of people that
- 10:46are really against God's, you know, the apple of his eye at
- 10:51the end of the age because like it's written right there in the
- 10:54word. We can't argue it.
- 10:55I'm not anti-Semitic at all. Let's let that be known.
- 10:58I'm very interested in the verses that say he draws every
- 11:02language, tribe, nation and tongue unto himself and even
- 11:07some of the research not to go down this rabbit trail too far
- 11:10here, but you know, different tribes that were scattered, you
- 11:16know, and what the what that looks like.
- 11:17So for me, I what's jumping right now is as we're paying
- 11:21attention to the signs, we're also paying attention to the
- 11:25word of God and we're making sure we're blessing what he says
- 11:28to bless in order to have that security and protection.
- 11:31Because this can kind of be viewed as one of these things
- 11:34where God is allowing things to be rattled up and shaken up in
- 11:38order for repentance, like like genuine heart posture,
- 11:42repentance to come about. Because it just seems like it's
- 11:48that type of storm where God is about his glory and he's setting
- 11:51the stage for those who belong to him to get closer and for
- 11:56those who were wayward, well to go further down that path it
- 11:59seems the most. Yeah, it's interesting you said
- 12:03the word shaken. I've been going through Hebrews
- 12:06now for a few weeks with a couple guys, and in chapter 1227
- 12:13it says yet once more indicates the removal of things that are
- 12:19shaken, that is, things that have been made in order that the
- 12:23things that cannot be shaken may remain.
- 12:26Wow. So there is a great, yeah, there
- 12:29is a great falling away that's coming.
- 12:31We don't know when. We don't know how long a window
- 12:34of time God is going to give us grace.
- 12:39But it's shortening. It's shortening every day and we
- 12:44as we as people who claim to be the people of God, to represent
- 12:48his name, to do it well, and to stand up lovingly in the culture
- 12:53for the precepts of God as well. Well, if I may just kind of add,
- 13:00add this little bit here. You know, I'm looking at the
- 13:04great falling away and just some explanations that the web has
- 13:10for it and and I know that the great apostasy that some of you
- 13:15may read, depending on your translation, that does insinuate
- 13:19that there are a stock of believers that are operating
- 13:24within the truth. Apostasy is like crooked and
- 13:30perverse from the perspective they were on the right track and
- 13:34then it becomes twisted. So the great following way is a
- 13:38prophecy of a widespread rejection of God's truth and the
- 13:42gospel by professed Christians. It is known as the Great
- 13:45Apostasy. Some of the explanations go man
- 13:53of sin. The Antichrist will be revealed
- 13:55before the day. The falling away is a time of
- 13:59tribulation, deception, and rebellion.
- 14:01The falling away will be characterized by hollow
- 14:04religious charlatans. The falling away will get worse
- 14:07as Christ's return approaches. Just a couple of the
- 14:10explanations I'm reading from from the site here, but I just
- 14:13thought I'd throw that in there. The great apostasy and your
- 14:19verse. You know, Hebrews 12/6 goes on
- 14:23to mention also Pete, for whom the Lord loves.
- 14:26He, he disciplines and He scourges every son whom he
- 14:31receives. So what you were talking about
- 14:33in Hebrews 27/12/27, It's interesting that like the sheep
- 14:38and the goats are kind of the wheat and the tares are kind of
- 14:41getting shaken up like this is intentional.
- 14:45Yeah. And it's for our good.
- 14:47It's for our redemption. And I think, you know, we were
- 14:50talking off air earlier. A harbinger is a warning.
- 14:55You don't send a warning unless you care about those that you're
- 14:59warning. So God cares about America and
- 15:03our culture. And as we're going to talk about
- 15:06in a couple minutes, he cares about LA and Hollywood and the
- 15:10people involved there. He loves them.
- 15:14He loves them enough to warn them and send warnings.
- 15:19But are our hearts so callous and hard that we don't see it?
- 15:25Much of our culture is hopefully not his children.
- 15:30But that's why I kind of felt compelled to, to do this mini
- 15:34recording. You know, it was George
- 15:35Washington that that made a famous quote.
- 15:38And it I believe it was at or near Ground Zero in New York
- 15:44where the capital used to be. In his inaugural address, he
- 15:49said the smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation
- 15:52that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which
- 15:57heaven itself has ordained. You know, say what you want
- 16:01about Washington and, you know, possible, you know, Freemasonry
- 16:07or all sorts of other things that go on.
- 16:10That quote stands the test of time that he understood or at
- 16:15least proclaimed that we can't expect God's blessings if we
- 16:20continue shaking our fist in his face.
- 16:23And unfortunately, as the third link I sent to you, Rod of Ray
- 16:30Comfort recently mentioned the Golden Globe Awards where they
- 16:36yet again mock God. They had a a scoreboard up there
- 16:40of, I don't know, some sort of tally of approval or, or shout
- 16:45outs. And and they said and God, the
- 16:49creator of the universe 0 no mentions, no, no appreciation
- 16:55for him. And less than two days later,
- 16:59interestingly enough, and we're not claiming that it's a
- 17:01connection, but it is interesting less than two days
- 17:04later the the fires are started. And you know, my Co host and
- 17:13brother Luke has sent me a link from his church with John
- 17:17Kilpatrick Church of his presence.
- 17:20And they had a prophet on there just this past Sunday.
- 17:25And the word that the profit got for 2025 was fire.
- 17:33And he he even said a Decapolis, Decapolis, I think he said like
- 17:3710 cities. So it'd be interesting to see
- 17:40what happens this year. But man, we have a window of
- 17:44time here. But there are this same prophet
- 17:49said a couple things. Darkness.
- 17:53So is evil until one day it crosses a line and it reaps.
- 18:00But the other thing he said was America has Young Lions coming
- 18:07to take back the nation for the Kingdom of God.
- 18:11And I, I, I think you see that Rod, you're not too far from my
- 18:16age, but you see it in a young generation.
- 18:19It's not not wanting to put up with this agenda anymore of our
- 18:25culture. Yeah, I mean, it's it's clear as
- 18:30day. You know, I won't get into
- 18:34details, but I received a really interesting phone call this past
- 18:37weekend. We were visiting some family out
- 18:42of town, so we're in Jersey and I decided to go take about a
- 18:481520 minute ride so I could look at the New York City skyline.
- 18:53Takes about 15 minutes where where some of her family is.
- 18:57Perth Amboy for anybody who's familiar with with the area, one
- 19:02of the bridges that goes into, what is it, Staten Island.
- 19:06But anyway, I screwed up a little bit and you know, I, I,
- 19:12I'm driving along and just looking at New York City has a
- 19:18certain feel to it. Let's put it that way.
- 19:22And you know, this is where this Ground Zero with all these UA PS
- 19:27these aerial phenomenons have been taking place, these
- 19:30unidentified sky riders, whatever you want to call them,
- 19:34man. I mean, there's we could create
- 19:35some fun nicknames that are multi layered for what's going
- 19:39on up there. But, you know, I get a phone
- 19:42call and I've talked with a lot of very interesting people off
- 19:47there. But this is a a a gentleman from
- 19:50Hollywood who's worked on The Avengers films, who's worked on,
- 19:54you know, some really big projects that everybody would
- 19:57know about. And I'm not going to go on to
- 20:00share too many details. But as I'm speaking with them
- 20:04and I got my headset on and I'm just driving and looking at New
- 20:07York City and it's just like I'm having a moment.
- 20:10There's just like this. It's hard to put a whisper of
- 20:14marvelous things to come. I could say it like that.
- 20:18And the gentleman is saying to me, Rod Hollywood has been
- 20:22burning up before these fires started.
- 20:26It's pretty wild on the inside. He's like the money's depleting.
- 20:29People are, you know, kind of stabbing each other in the back
- 20:32and in between the lines, kind of saying it's dead there.
- 20:36And, you know, this guy is saying, you know, I, I believe
- 20:39in Christ and I've seen it for a long time.
- 20:43And I just wanted to say we see you and we hear you.
- 20:48Thank you for your humility, your gentleness and, and, and
- 20:51the way that you go about doing the stuff.
- 20:53And I'm just, I'm having a moment then, Pete, you know,
- 20:55because all of this stuff is going on and, you know, it makes
- 20:58me think like the the great falling away is, well, there's
- 21:04many that are religious institution, religious minded
- 21:11that are just man. They're riding a wave out and
- 21:14there's a new wave of anointing comments for these Young Lions,
- 21:18as I hear it said. And just, you know, the
- 21:22righteous are bold as lions. The Bible says.
- 21:26And it also warns us that the Kingdom of heaven suffers
- 21:30violence and that violent men have taken it by force.
- 21:34The rider on the White Horse has a sword in his mouth.
- 21:38Are we speaking out the word of God?
- 21:40Are we clinging on to the word of God in these days?
- 21:43Are we blessing what is eternally to be blessed and
- 21:48inherited by the Lord? You know, life and death is in
- 21:51the power of the tongue. And the reason I'm kind of
- 21:53winding down with this is because we're looking at the
- 21:57reality of it's my duty and your duty to cry out and spare not we
- 22:02need to be standing consistently firm in his ways teachable
- 22:06because none of us are perfect. All of us have fallen short and
- 22:09we're paying attention to the signs and we're praying.
- 22:12So if God is sending people that that are going to be a part of a
- 22:16harvest man, what a time to be alive that we would say Lord,
- 22:22are the nobodies becoming somebodies and the somebodies
- 22:25becoming nobodies because of your mark that is upon those who
- 22:31belong to you. You know, Pete, it's so many
- 22:35emotions fill me right now. It's I do no justice in trying
- 22:42to depict depict them to you in the audience, but I just want to
- 22:46encourage you guys to continue to pray.
- 22:48Keep a humble posture, you guys, you know, you've heard it said
- 22:53that only the strong survive. Well, only the humble and the
- 23:00meek will survive. The Bible says the meek will
- 23:03inherit the earth. And I just want to honor you and
- 23:06thank you, man, for, you know, just the consistency of building
- 23:11together and learning from each other.
- 23:14You know, it's, it's really a great opportunity to be able to
- 23:18jump out in these airwaves and continue to share the truth and
- 23:23plant seeds and water seeds. So, Pete, thank you.
- 23:26Oh, you're welcome, Rod. Thanks for being here.
- 23:28Yeah, guys. So just, you know, take this to
- 23:29the Lord in prayer. Let the Holy Spirit lead you on
- 23:33what these things may or may not mean.
- 23:35But as Rod said, let's tell others, let's stand firm in
- 23:41God's ways to firm up our own resolve, our own allegiance,
- 23:49obedience, all of those things. Let's be paying attention to the
- 23:52signs and let's be praying. God is not through with America,
- 23:56that's for sure. Even though dark times might be
- 24:00coming. There seems to be a window
- 24:03before the judgments become much more dire.
- 24:07But that window is growing short.
- 24:10So let's not test the Lord's grace, but but walk in it and
- 24:15tell others that it is yet available while we draw breath.
- 24:20So thanks, Rod. Appreciate you coming on with
- 24:22me. It's always an honor.
- 24:25God bless and goodbye.
