So um pretty awesome. Can't wait to see you in Canada. And uh that's Saturday night. So, miracle, same guy, Ray Taylor, miracle service. So God is a puppet on a string. Your mom's a puppet on a string, her pimp's string. So today is why not only believe in the rapture, but we'll be surprised if it doesn't happen in my lifetime. And um, Ray Taylor's mom agrees with me. I don't know what Ray's problem is, but uh, she's a great lady, one of the nicest people we ever met doing street outreach in the prostitution section of Pittsburgh. And um she was thoroughly convinced when we shared our doctrine with her. I want to start off by reading Matthew 24, which is a pivotal scripture. Verse 1. As Jesus was leaving the temple grounds, his disciples pointed out to him the various temple buildings. But he responded, Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of the other. Later, Jesus said on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, Tell us when will all this happen and what sign will signal your return and the end of the world. So now, whatever theological camp you're in, there is an end of the world as we know it. Life will not continue on like it like it is right now, forever. We're in a set period of time that will come to an end. Jesus told them, Don't let anyone mislead you. For many will come in my name, claiming I'm the Messiah. They'll deceive many. And you'll hear of wars and rumors of wars, but don't panic. And again, I don't want to get off track, but um, you know, all the people that are America first and don't want there to be any war, I don't want there to be war either. But there's gonna be wars. So you can go get your panties in a bunch every time there's a war, or you can realize it's a fulfillment of you can't pray this stuff away. You can't wish it away, and you can't vote it away. Don't let anyone mislead you. For many will come in my name claiming I'm the Messiah. They'll deceive many, and you'll hear of wars and rumors of wars, but don't panic. Yes, these things must happen, but the end won't take place immediately. Nation will go to war against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. I want you to, I'm gonna have you write a little bit today. Write in the comments, many parts of the world. Not the whole world. There's no destruction of the world before the destruction of the world. So there's no, there's no um apocalypse before the apocalypse. That's why, you know, if America goes after Iran, now I'm not saying you use these scriptures as as uh a license to go attack any country you want if you're in leadership. But when when people say stuff like, um, you know, if we go to war against Iran, this is going to trigger World War III. No, it's not. Because that's not happening while I'm here. Nation will go to war against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world, but all of this is only the first of birth pains, with more to come. Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will so you should know what you're signing up for. You will be hated all over the world because you're my followers. And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. People that used to love God don't, their love will grow cold. I mean, every one of you that's watching that is planning to not go to church this Sunday and you consider yourself a Christian, you're probably entering into that group. Because I'd love to hear what your reason is. You should keep a watch on yourself. If the Bible says the love of many is gonna grow cold, and five that originally had the fire are gonna let their fire go out, I'd be careful. Well, they this Sunday, um, my daughter is. Okay. Just pay attention because when Jesus told the stories about why people miss um the banquet in heaven, one said I bought a field and must inspect it, please excuse me. One said I must I bought a team of oxen and must inspect them. And another, I think it had to do with marriage. So they weren't like, yeah, I can't, I can't I can't come because I have to worship the devil. It's getting caught up in the things of this world and letting them take a priority over God. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world. I mean, think of this. I'm only 45 years old, and people that have started off in the ministry with me, quite a few, they're they're they're gone now. There's no ministry. I don't know if they're serving the Lord. So there's an endurance part to this where you build your life to be solid for 60 years and make sure you're not a Christian that has a nice 11-year run and then disappear. Sin will be rampant everywhere. The one who endures to the end will be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world so all nations will hear it. That's why you know Iran's coming open. That's why you know Venezuela had to come open. North Korea has to come open. Because it doesn't say all nations will have Bibles smuggled into them. It says all nations will hear the preaching of the gospel, and then the end will come. So there's a curse on anybody trying to prevent that because they don't serve the Lord. Or they're they're working against um what Christ said, the words, the pages of prophecy. The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about, the sacrilegious object that causes desecration, standing in the holy place. Reader, pay attention. Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat. How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For there will be greater anguish at that time since the world began, and it will never be so great again. In fact, unless this time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God's chosen ones. Then if anyone tells you, look, here's the Messiah, or look, there he is, don't believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even God's elect or chosen ones. See, I have warned you about this ahead of time. So if someone tells you, look, the Messiah is out in the desert, don't bother to go and look. Or look, he's hiding here. Don't believe it. For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines in the west, so it'll be in the days when the Son of the day when the Son of Man comes. Just as the gathering of vultures shows there's a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate the end is near. Immediately after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with great power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world, from the farthest ends of the earth in heaven. Now check this out, Matthew 24, 32. Everybody, including in in the control table, off camera, people watching, you should catch this. Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know without being told that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is near, even at the door. I tell you the truth. This generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. Let me see 32 in the King James. Now learn a parable of the fig tree. When his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh. I want you to write something down. The budding of the fig tree. When are you gonna throw the Romans out of here and make Israel a sovereign nation again? Israel had already lost its sovereignty, it had been conquered by the Roman Empire. Jesus said, one day the fig tree, that's who every one of his hearers understood the fig tree to be, is Israel. When you see it bud again, it's a sign that the people that are, the generation, the people that are alive on earth when this happens, will not pass from the scene until all these things are fulfilled. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will remain forever. So a massive prophetic sign, in my opinion, the most massive prophetic sign. I'm gonna show you some things, which if if you've not been taught this, you should at least take time and allow me to teach it to you. And I've never heard anybody teach on what I'm gonna teach on. I'm not saying anybody's done it. But my title is Why I Not Only Believe in the Rapture, but I'll be surprised if it doesn't happen in my lifetime, because we're going on 80 years. 80 years since uh Israel was reborn. And I if you didn't watch earlier in the week, there's people that don't believe in this, and in my opinion, you had a very strong case through May 13th, 1948. But when Israel became a nation again for the first time in 2,000 years, a sovereign nation, and in fulfillment of Bible prophecy, the Jews from all over the earth were gathered back to that homeland. I would have, I would, even if I held that other position, I would take a step back and go, wait a minute, this is quite a sign. You know, and then I'm gonna show you something on top of that tonight. That between those two things, this is very difficult to dismiss if you're gonna be intellectually honest. Now, I didn't say if you're intelligent, I said if you're intellectually honest, there's there's intelligent people that don't believe in this, that are Christians, that'll be in heaven. But um, I want to show you something tonight. However, no one knows the day or the hour. So you say, Jonathan, you said you'll be surprised if if uh the rapture doesn't happen in your lifetime. The Bible says no man knows the day or the hour. That's right. I'm not picking a day or an hour. But it also says you'll know the generation, and it also says you'll know the season. I believe we have years left. I don't believe we have decades left. I believe um President Trump getting elected and a lot of his policies are uh buying us more time than if if Hillary had gotten in or Kamala. I don't know if I'd be able to broadcast on YouTube right now if Kamala won, and you had her Department of Justice. It's not her, it's the people, the people that would be running the show in her cabinet. So I feel like we're in a very free window right now where nations are coming open to the gospel, and I believe that window is gonna be a short but powerful window. And I believe we're living in the final. I mean, if the last days began in Acts chapter 2, where Peter said in his sermon, this is that which was spoken unto the prophet Joel in the last days, and it's 2,000 years later, we're not living in the last days, we're living in the final hours of the last days. That's why you don't hear me preach unless it's to mock it, talk about a work-family balance and ministry. And you've never heard me say my ministry is my first priority or my uh family is my first ministry. Can I get a scripture real quick? Where did Jesus say, unless you hate your wife and hate your children, you can't be my follower? I feel like that's kind of the exact opposite of my family is my first ministry. If any man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wife, and children and brethren and sisters, yea, his own life. He cannot be my disciple. Thanks. So what is it? Uh, father, mother, wife, children. You gotta hate them. So gotta have a little bit of hate for Camille and Adallis. No, what it's saying, what's it teaching there? It's saying think of how much you love those people, but your love for me and my kingdom, the the closest thing to it should look like hate in comparison. That's how much you should prioritize you uh Christ. You know, people didn't get martyred in the first century church because um they're like, you know what, they want me to die for my faith, but obviously my first commitments to my family. No. They died, left their wife and kids behind, and gave their lives. Now you can't use that as a scripture to neglect your family. You can't take better care of your family than I take care of mine. But all this lukewarm garbage about, you know, my first ministry is my family. That's that's not the Bible tells you to forsake everything. And then whatever you forsake for the kingdom, you get back a hundredfold. So you can't, you know, my marriage is very strong. My relationship, me and Camila, and you can do both. Me and Camila were, I signed her out of school at 11 o'clock. It said reason. I wrote mountain climbing and then took her to a pirate game. We watched a baseball game together for three hours and spent the rest of the afternoon. Thanks for being with me today, Pa. Thanks for signing me out of school. So it's not something you used as an excuse to abuse your family, but you should have a massive commitment in every area, in every facet of life, a massive commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ and its propagation, because very soon this thing's over. And you're gonna go up to heaven and be rewarded for the good that you did in your body. And you're not gonna regret whatever you sacrificed for for the cause of Christ. No one knows the day or the hour when these things happen. Somebody asked a valid question. Let me get um Chad GPT. I hear Bible people talk about Israel being the fig tree in Bible. Is it referred to that in the as that in the Old Testament, or where are they getting this from? The idea of Israel being symbolized as a fig tree comes mostly from the prophetic imagery in the Old Testament. The prophets like Hosea, Jeremiah, and Joel often used fig trees as symbols for Israel's fruitfulness or judgment. For instance, Hosea talks about Israel as early fruit on a fig tree. Later on in the New Testament, Jesus uses a fig tree as a parable or sign in relation to Israel. So they're drawing on that older prophetic tradition. Thanks. So somebody asked that question, it's a valid question. So since the fig tree refers to Israel, and Jesus said, when you see it bud again, take note. Now, that's never happened. If a country goes away, it goes away. If you get conquered, you're finished. Your grandkids start speaking the language of the occupiers, and um, they make you dress like them, and you're done in about 40 to 80 years. And Israel was gone for 2,000 years, and they passed the strictest laws to uh suffocate the Jewish people out of existence for 2,000 years, and they stayed a people and then got their land back, fulfilling a prophecy. Can a nation be born in one day? Now, that's one side of it. Now, I want to tell you a second side. This is what I haven't heard anybody teach on. I'm not saying they didn't. When you look at what the Bible says is gonna happen in the tribulation, let me ask ChatGPT another question. People that don't believe in a rapture or a literal Antichrist and don't believe that God has any future plans for Israel, that they were all fulfilled by 70 AD and Nero was the Antichrist. Um what what theological problems do they run into now that more than a thousand years has passed since Nero conquered Jerusalem if he was the Antichrist? Well, they face a timing dilemma. If they hold that all prophetic fulfillment, like the end of Israel or final judgment, was locked into Nero's era, then history just keeps going. The world didn't wrap up. Theologically, they have to explain why over a thousand years later, things like ongoing global events, suffering, or the persistence of Israel even as a nation still exist. Essentially, they must grapple with why history didn't culminate if that was the final end. It raises the question of ongoing purpose and what they do with unfulfilled themes. And not everybody holds that position that doesn't believe in a rapture, but they would have to somewhat hold um a little bit of a preterist position if they if they don't believe in a rapture and believe that God's plan for Israel has been finished, correct? Yes, they'd lean towards some degree of preterism. Without a future rapture or specific role for Israel, they'd see many prophecies as already fulfilled, especially around the first century. It doesn't mean all details align, but they'd have to treat key end times passages as symbolic or already accomplished, leaving less future prophetic expectation. Okay, thanks. Go to Revelation 13. I think beginning at verse 6, I could be wrong. And he's somebody said, You trust Chat GBT. No, but if it says things that are correct like it just did, then I do. He spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God. This is talking about the Antichrist. Now, again, if you think Nero was the Antichrist and everything that God had planned for Israel's already been fulfilled, and now the church is Israel, then you and I part company on, I take the Bible literally. I don't believe the mark in the hand or in the forehead is symbolic, especially now with microchip and RFID technology. And you know, if again, if you felt Israel regathering to their homeland was symbolic, then what did you what do you do May 14th, 1948, where they literally regathered to their homeland? You know, I would take a step back. Maybe I took a swing and a miss on this one. And he spoke terrible words, he's talking about the Antichrist. He spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name in his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. And the beast was allowed to wage war against God's holy people. And to conquer them, which again is why I believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. Because how is Satan going to be given authority to conquer people that have authority over him? But the tribulation saints won't have authority over Satan. They're in a different block. Since the word dispensation uh bothers so many people. And to conquer them, and he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation. And all the people who belong to this world worship the beast, one world religion. They are the ones whose names were not written in the book of life that belong to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand. Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. That means that God's holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful. Now here's where it kicks into high gear. Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth, and he had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the first beast, and he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed. I'm not getting into it tonight, but one of the ways the Antichrist is going to deceive the world is he's going to be executed and come back to life on live TV. He exercised all the authority of the first beast and he required all the earth. You know, it's a mockery of Christ and like an imitation of Christ. And he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed. 13. He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching. And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belonged to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast who was fatally wounded. And by the way, the Bible tells you, if you if you miss the rapture and you're left behind, you're going to be deceived by this stuff. You know, you actually think you can't live for Christ. You can't go to church this Sunday with the army protecting your right to go to church, and you're going to get you're where are you going to grow a spine after the rapture? You can't live for Christ in America, and in the tribulation, you're going to turn into Rambo. No, you're going to be just like the COVID people. No. Well, you know, I did get vaccinated and I did get the booster. You know, I didn't want to, but they said, I mean, if you couldn't stay, you couldn't even stand up to Dr. Fauci. You're going to stand up to this guy? I don't think so. All the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast who was fatally wounded and then came back to life. He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die. He required everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. Let me see King James 16. In their right hand or in their foreheads. The word can mean on or in. This is an interesting verse to me. Because in 9 A.D., when John wrote this, how do you mark in someone's forehead or in their hand? I mean, you you have you have microchip technology and biometrics being prophesied 2,000 years. This didn't even make any sense in 1988. My poor father'd preach on this, and Pentecostal people just had their eyes squinted. They were still figuring out Velcro. You can go back to NLT. He caused all. And he required everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a mark in their right hand or in their forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark. Tell me what sense that made up until right now. I have so much of an easier job than my dad because anybody understands that. I could have like an atheist watch right now and they'd be like, dang, I didn't know the Bible said that. That's clearly talking about some type of central bank digital currency. That there won't be cash. And that's a point that I left out, so I'll cover it now. Everyone paid for everything. Now, when Jesus said that when Israel's, when the fig tree buds again, Israel reborn as a nation, May 14th, 1948, were there any credit cards, May 14th, 1948? No. Everything was cash, gold, actual currency. You know, World War I, America had to raise money for the war. You couldn't just print numbers and have digital currency. It wasn't a thing. And none of this was possible. I'm going to show you how once Israel was reborn, all of these things that were impossible to happen that Revelation prophesied about, a war where all of the critters on the ground and animals in the field and people and birds in the sky were killed. You can't do that with bow and arrow. You can't do it launching rocks out of those rock-launching things from the medieval times. All of the technology that it takes. And when you read Revelation, you can tell John's seeing things that he's got no way to describe. I saw a scorpion with the head of an owl and it flew, but it had no wings. I mean, how are you supposed to describe a drone if you're from 92 AD? What the H am I looking at? So he did his best. Some type of warfare and surveillance being used that he had no reference point for. And you can see it all now. And this one's powerful to me. No one could buy or sell anything without that mark. Now, in my opinion, COVID was like a dry run for this stuff. Because though you didn't have to take a mark, and the COVID vaccine wasn't the mark of the beast, it was a line that was crossed where you were told you can't work and make money and go to the grocery store if you don't get this thing injected in you. And you would have thought, um, I mean, if you'd have asked, let me ask you a question in the comments and stuff. 2019 in America, if you'd have told people in Florida and Texas that the day would come where they're gonna make you get a shot, and if you don't take that shot, you won't be able to travel. And remember, they the government was just too disorganized to carry it out. They wanted to restrict interstate travel. They wanted to have checkpoints when you come back to Pennsylvania to make sure where you have to take a COVID test if you went out of state. They just, it's the government, they were too stupid to pull it off. So if you'd have told people in America in 2019, hey, they're gonna require you to take to get something injected into your body, or you won't be able to make money or buy groceries or travel, what would a hundred percent of Americans said? F them. That's why we have a Second Amendment. I'll inject something in them out of this. That's how Americans talk. But then what happened when push came to shove? Well, um, you know, we we we weren't really able to see our grandkids, and so it just cave one after another. I was gonna lose my job. And basically, who did they complain about? I'm asking you this in the comments, you're gonna get the right answer. Um who who were they openly complaining about on MSNBC and CNN? One one at one show they actually said, these damn Christians, these damn evangelicals won't get vaccinated. Why? I can tell you why I didn't. Because I'd been hearing this preached since I was eight. Like, this sounds a little too revelation-y for my liking. I'm good. Some of you didn't even go to church before COVID, and you're faithful now because of that. You're like, oh my God, there is a devil that wants to control the whole world. See, the devil has tried these things several times, but I want you to write this down. Um, God is not on the devil's clock. The devil's on God's clock. So Satan essentially has always had to have an Antichrist ready. Hitler, whoever. Because he wants to get this show on the road, but there's a restrainer, and you saw it during COVID. Why was there something in Bible-believing Christians that did not like that? Some of you didn't, some of you didn't know why you didn't get vaccinated. You just didn't jive on the inside of you. The spirit of truth that keeps you from deceptions. No one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it's the number of a man. His name is six, his number is six, six, six. What does that mean? I have no idea. So I'm gonna go with the parts that are easily interpreted, which is that no man can buy or sell without a mark in their hand or in their forehead. Tell me what technology existed where that could have even been a thing. All of the things that it tells you about that are gonna happen in Revelation couldn't have happened for 1948 years, and then as soon as Israel's reborn, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. All the technology that think of this now. In 1900 years, nobody developed any of this stuff, and then in 80 years, they developed all of it. That doesn't speak to anybody. Speaks to me. Know this the generation that sees the fig tree, but again, those people will still be here on the earth before all these when all these things take place. That's people Donald Trump and Joe Biden's age. 78 years old. Right? Yeah. Everybody that was alive there at the minimum would be 78. Now, if the second coming takes place minimum seven years after the rapture, then think of the second coming as Christmas and the rapture is Thanksgiving. If you're seeing signs for sales for Christmas, how much closer is Thanksgiving? So we know signs before the second coming. We they're all through Revelation, but there's no sign that when you see this, the rapture's gonna happen. And everything that had to happen before the rapture has already happened. So in an hour that you think not, when people are buying and selling, planning marriages, we're gonna get called up out of the earth. Um why I not only believe in the rapture, but we'll be surprised it if it doesn't happen in my lifetime. Now, I might I'm gonna give you 10 things, so I'm gonna treat this as a bonus or just something to understand, because I have it as 11, but it should I should have put it as the intro. I want you to write this down. This is uh this is just in the intro. Write down 2,000-year biblical pattern. 2,000 year biblical pattern. Great crowd watching today. Write this down. Roughly 2,000 years from Adam to Abraham, almost to the day. 2,000 years from Abraham to Christ. And when I say Christ, I say the birth of the church. Because that's what brought in a new age. So if the church began in 33 AD, what's 2,000 years from see, this is why everybody freaked out about Y2K, because it's gonna be 2,000 years since Jesus came to Bethlehem, born in a manger. But Jesus being born in Bethlehem did not mark an end of that time from uh Abraham to Christ. His death on the cross and the rebirth of the church that all took place roughly in the same two months. You're looking at what? 2033. How do you dismiss a 6,000-year pattern that lines up perfectly with everything else falling into place right now? Why is it that even the devil's crowd has an agenda 2030 where all these things that are in revelation, we want these in place now? Because there's not going to be the rapture and then the government said, listen, give us like 15 years, we're still kind of developing the infrastructure. Why are they trying to pass legislation about central bank digital currency all of a sudden? Let me talk to Chad GPT real quick. Nobody paid for anything with credit card or um digital payments or Apple Pay or Tap. Everybody had to use cash, gold, or silver, or some other um instrument like that up until what year? 1948, 1965, what? Credit cards started to emerge in the 1950s. The first universal modern credit card, the Diners Club card, was launched in 1950. By the mid-1950s and 1960s, bank-issued credit cards like Bank Americard, later Visa, appeared, paving the way for widespread card use. So we're talking post-1950 as the shift point. Okay. Does that stand out to anybody? Does that stand out to anybody that um why do I hear myself so loud all of a sudden? Am I like not like a speaker back here? It's not echoing on the TV though, right? All right, knock yourself out. Does that stand out to anybody? May 14th, 1948, Israel's reborn, and all of a sudden we start doing away with cash and gold and silver. Actually, let me ask another question at Chat GPT. When did they start to pass laws in America about how much gold you you could have? Were there laws passed along those lines after 1948 that that as a private citizen you could you could you couldn't have like tons of gold? Yes, the U.S. did have laws restricting private gold ownership. The most notable was Executive Order 6102 in 1933, which required Americans to turn in most of their gold. Private ownership of gold bullion was heavily restricted until 1974, when it was once again made legal to own gold in large quantities. So, yes, after 1948, there were still restrictions, but they were lifted in the 1970s. What about now? Can a private citizen own as much gold as they want in the United States? Nowadays, if you're a private citizen in the U.S., you can own as much gold as you'd like. There's no legal limit on any gold coins, bars, or bullion you can show up. What about Canada and Europe? In Canada, it's similar. There aren't any government restrictions on how much gold a private citizen can own. You're free to hold as much gold as you wish. All good there, too. What about Europe? In the UH, you can also own as much gold as you want. There are no restrictions on private gold ownership. You're free to collect and hold as much gold as you please. When was the dollar decoupled from gold? The US dollar was fully decoupled from gold in 1971. That's when President Nixon ended the direct convertibility of dollars to gold, effectively closing the gold window. Since then, the dollar has been a fiat currency, not tied to gold. So you can bring it back to me. So that's what I was looking for. So the dollar's not tied to gold. You know, that's where you get it. And I'm not I'm not gonna go down rabbit holes on this broadcast because we'd be here all night, but we're like, you know, when people say I think crypto's worthless, well, why don't you look into the dollar? It it has worth right now, but really, you know, everything is ready to just switch it to digital currency. Let me let me hear ChatGPT again. Of the major banks in the United States, what's the most cash to allow you to withdraw um at once? The limit depends on the bank and your account type. But most large US banks set a daily ATM withdrawal limit somewhere between 300 and$1,000. If you go into a branch, you can usually withdraw larger amounts, but there's still a cap unless you make special arrangements. What kind of cap? When withdrawing from a branch, you can often access tens of thousands of dollars, but banks might require advance notice for very large amounts. With no advent with no advance notice, what what's the most that most of the banks I I've had trouble getting five thousand out before. So I I don't think you can go in and say I'd like twenty thousand dollars, please. Yeah, you're right. Most banks keep a tight rein on large cash on hand. Without advanced notice, many branches max out around five thousand to ten thousand. For anything bigger, they usually want you to schedule ahead so they can ensure they have that cash on site. How can a bank that takes in hundreds of millions of people's dollars not have that cash on hand? Well, banks don't keep piles of cash sitting around. It's a security thing. They store most money digitally or in larger vaults that are harder to access instantly. They balance safety, insurance, and daily demand. If everyone wanted big amounts of cash all at once, the system would buckle. So they plan carefully and ask for notice when you need a large withdrawal. All right. So, and and I I'm looking at the comments. I don't think I'm telling anything anybody doesn't already know and may know more than me. I'm actually switching banks right now because I was using Robinhood, my spending account on Robinhood, and it told me on the 14th of this month in April, you've spent your max from this account for the month. I didn't even know I had a max I could spend. And it's like not much. So I'm trying to find uh a bank that will allow me to spend my own money. So you can see, I mean, it it's it's set up right now. Now, this is now they've announced it that by 2030 they want these things in place. And again, I'm not going on, I'm not gonna editorialize, but this is where the hatred for Trump comes in. This is why there's 97% negative coverage against Trump. It's not because of his personality, and why they left Biden alone. Trump is screwing all this stuff up. You know, it it was all going to the one world thing, and he messed it up twice, messed it up in 2016, messed it up in uh 2024. It's why they want to go after Elon. Elon buying X screwed things up. They need to restrict speech, restrict weapons, restrict spending. You can't have these rogue billionaires like why do you think there's such a fight against billionaires now? And this is why I preach prosperity. If you want to understand, it's because there's you're not, it's not a it's not a matter of theology with the uh prosperity or not prosperity. They need you poor and controllable and cashless and weaponless and on marijuana and docile. So you can be run over by this antichrist system. The last thing they want you is rich and spirit-filled. So I pray, beginning tonight, you become ultra-rich and overflowing with the infilling of the Holy Ghost. That's why they hate churches. Because you're raising up thousands of people that will not be controlled by the Antichrist spirit. Here's the announced plan if you haven't seen it. World Economic Forum. Pause. Whatever you want, you'll rent. That's why, you know, what does he have? A jet. Why does Joel Osteen have a big house? How about screw you? How about people can buy whatever they want with money they've legally earned? Where when did that become a difficult concept? Keep going. Look at that. Pause. Go back to uh the U.S. won't be the world. Oh, now we understand that. Why did it look like Biden and all the and all these people were subverting the United States? Like, how could they be so dumb? Don't they know that if there's open borders and you let cartels in, unvetted, that That will hurt the country? Of course they do. You know, if a guy makes an error in a baseball game, it's a mistake. If he makes nine errors in a baseball game, somebody paid him to throw the game. So when people are passing laws to destroy the United States, they're not stupid. They're acting on behest of their masters. And it's why they hate Trump. We're going to rebuild America. We're going to make countries pay us. We're going to get out of debt. She hasn't hit that one yet. And we're going to start start having a positive cash flow into the country. And people freak out because you've been working for 40 years to destroy this country. Continue. Find the scripture for me, real quick. First Timothy four, one and two. That's a fulfillment of prophecy. And that didn't happen in 70 AD or a thousand A.D. That's now. When people moved against meat. There was never an attempt to get people to quit eating meat in the world. 1 Timothy 4, 1 and 2. Hey guys, is this a replay? So what if it was? What do you have to do with your life? Just watch. Just sit and watch. Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last days, some will turn away from the true faith. They'll follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. These people are hypocrites and liars and their consciences are dead. Keep going? What will be the sign of them? Verse three. They'll say it's wrong to be married and wrong to any of you that try to get married and your family blows back on you, I gotta get married. I think it's a mistake. No, it's actually a mistake to live with your girlfriend or boyfriend. As the Bible or any episode of Judge Judy would tell you. They'll say it's wrong to be married. Let me see, King James. Wrong to eat certain foods. That's not what it says in the in the commanding to abstain from meat. Did you know that was in the Bible? Forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe. So people that are against meat, it's an antichrist end-time hellish spirit. I mean, why do you think if somebody's a an anti-meat vegan or whatever, you you can guess what car they drive and you can guess who they voted for, because it's a spirit. When's the last time you ever saw somebody driving a blacked-out Matt Ford F-350 with a proud vegan bumper sticker? Maybe in Austin, Texas, but that's it. That place breaks all the rules. No. If somebody doesn't eat meat, are they for Israel or Palestine? Palestine. Are they for Kamala or Trump? Why do you think that if you see someone display an American flag, you already you automatically know who they voted for? Trump. Because this other spirit wants America to no longer be a superpower. Go ahead with the rest of the video. I hope this is clearing things up for you. Yeah. You can tell you what you can eat. You can eat. Translation, we need to do away with borders. You can't have a one-world government with strong independent nations. When I'm in space, I don't see any lines of countries. I just see one world. Thanks, Satan. Keep going. God created nations. Thanks, Mitch. You go first. Scientists will have worked out how to keep you healthy in space. You can't even work out how to do it here. Look at pause. Now, let's see how many of you get the right answer. Let's see how many of you get the right answer here. I'm sure a lot of you will. Western values will have been tested to the breaking point. When they say Western values, it's like when a politician says, um, urban voters, and they mean black people? What do West what's Western values code for that will have been tested to the breaking point? What produced Western civilization? Let's see who gets it first. Western values will have been tested to the breaking point. What's Western values code for? That's right. Mark got it first from South Carolina. Christianity. We're gonna, if we want to do these things, we have to break Christianity. Because you know what Christianity teaches you? It doesn't teach you you'll be the renter and not the owner. It literally teaches you the exact opposite. That's why anti-prosperity people, whether knowingly or unknowingly, they are actually tools of these people. The Bible prospers individual families and individual people. It's not group prosperity. Now it ends up being group prosperity as all the families begin to prosper, but God blesses individuals and families, not the community. Getting irritated. This spirit makes me want to preach. I'm glad I'm preaching tomorrow night. Is that the end of it? Go ahead. Finish. And I told you it was gonna fail in 2020 when it looked like it definitely wasn't gonna fail. Because as long, I want you to write this down, as long as the church is here, the church is in charge. The devil's not in charge, the World Economic Forum's not in charge, and now all these groups that were tied to that are going down. World Economic Forum is going down, Southern Poverty Law Center, you name it, CDC, World Health Organization, as weak as they've ever been. Because it's not your turn, it's our turn. Why not only believe in the rapture? Now, all that stuff was not possible in 1800. It's possible now in fulfillment of revelation. Why not only believe in the rapture, but we'll be surprised if it doesn't happen in my lifetime. Number one, the rebirth of Israel in 1948. For nearly 2,000 years, the Jewish people had no homeland. On May 14th, 1948, Israel was reborn as a nation, exactly as the prophet said. Ezekiel 37, 21 and 22. You read it while I take a sippy. No credit cards till just after Israel? You know, paving the way. Then you go, then you went from credit cards to Apple Pay. I just went to a Major League Baseball game today. No cash. You're not allowed to pay with cash anywhere. Parking garage, no cash. They're basically waiting for 65 plus, 65-year-old people and older to die off. And uh the young generation of nitwits that don't understand this will be I have Apple Pay. I don't I don't really carry cash. It's easier this way. They don't get it. But then all they gotta do is turn your thing off, and you're done. Private cash allows you to buy whatever you want from whoever you want, however you want, and however much of it you want. Number two, Revelation 11, 9 and 10. And for three and a half days, all people, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. This is the two witnesses that come down from heaven and get killed. No one will be allowed to bury them. And the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them. Eleven. Oh, there is no eleven. But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up, terror struck, all who were staring at them. Yeah. And so it's telling you that the whole world will see this when it happens. Number two, number one, the rebirth of the nation of Israel. Number two, the advent of global instant news. Let me ask you a question. Chat GPT. In 1948, if a world event happened in India, in rural India, how long would it take to get reported on the news in America? And but and I'm you you can do it in hours or days. With the fastest telegraph networks, you might see big headlines within a day. But smaller stories could take longer, sometimes a few days, until they were fully reported and distributed. And then if if something happened in rural Sri Lanka today that was a major world event, how long would it take? Um, not officially, but counting social media, how long would it take to start reaching eyes and ears in the United States? Today, with social media and instant global connectivity, major events from rural Sri Lanka could start hitting U.S. eyes and ears within minutes. A viral post, video, or eyewitness tweet could start circulating globally almost instantly, often reaching major platforms and even news outlets within an hour or less. So let me ask you a question. If you take revelation, am I still on? If you take revelation literally that certain things that the Antichrist does and certain things that happen are going to be seen by the whole world, what would have been the first year that that was possible in world history where the whole world could witness something with their eyes? If we think about a global event being witnessed in real time, satellite television broadcasting emerged in the 1960s. By 1969, with the moon landing, millions watched globally. By the 1980s, live global coverage was quite reliable. So by the late 60s or early 70s, something could truly be seen by the whole world simultaneously. Thank you. That doesn't stand out to anybody? I mean, you're not talking about like for 60 years they couldn't, then all of a sudden they did. You're talking about for 1900 years, no one did any of this stuff, and then Israel gets reborn. There's zero technology that can make revelation come true, and then it all it all booms. That doesn't stand out to anybody. How exactly does the entire planet watching the same event at once not match prophecy? Number three, Revelation 13, 16 to 17, we already covered. Number three, mark of the beast technology, a global system that controls who can buy or sell was pure fantasy before 1948. Now we have chips, digital IDs, and cashless payment. I mean, you're just this is an external mark of the beast. You know, what's the yeah, what's different than tapping this and tapping my hand? They just know, you know, Christianity prevents it. If you wanted to get people to get a mark on their hand, like, hey, listen, you don't have to carry a phone around anymore. Um, we'll mark your hand and you can pay for it. What's keeping that from happening? People like me. Preachers. Oh, uh um, I think it sounds like something I heard when I was going to church with my grandma. I don't know if I'm comfortable with that. So I'll wear an Apple watch and strap it to my the tracking device to my wrist, but I won't get it on my hand. Before 1948, uh a global system that controls who can buy or sell was fantasy before 1948. Now we have chips, digital IDs, and cashless payment everywhere. How do you explain a 2,000-year-old prediction suddenly becoming technologically possible only in the last 75 years? Let me hear Chad GBT again. Not what's being used currently, but what, even if it's in development phase, when the Bible says that you you get a mark in or on your hand or in your forehead, and no man can buy or sell without that mark. If you take that scripture literally, what's the most advanced technology we have right now that could be a fulfillment of that? If you interpret that literally, the most advanced tech we have today that could potentially align would be things like implantable microchips. Some are already used for ID or payments or advanced biometric systems. Also, developments like brain computer interfaces or even digital identity programs tied to biometrics could theoretically evolve in that direction. It's speculative, but that's where we stand. But the technology is available. In a sense, yes, the building blocks exist. We have implantable chips, facial recognition for payments, and evolving digital ID systems. But we're not at a point where any of this is mandated or fully type of. Answer what I ask you. Fair enough. The technology available right now includes implantable RFID or NFC chips that can store personal data and even enable payments with a scan of the hand. On the biometric side, facial recognition and palm vein scans already allow people to buy or verify identity at some stores. Also, blockchain-based digital ID systems are emerging, which could link identity to transactions. All of these are tools that could, in theory, support that kind of scenario. When you say in theory, isn't there, aren't there already companies that allow you to get a microchip implanted in you, and your hand can open the door or buy things from a vending machine at that company? Yes, absolutely. Some companies do offer voluntary microchip implants for employees. These chips can be used to open doors, log into computers, or even purchase snacks at vending machines. It's niche, but it's real and already being tested out. I was gonna ask another question. Let me think. Oh, yeah. Am I still on? I had a friend whose parents were missionaries to China. They said in China it's illegal to be drunk in public, and they have a way in China of under video surveillance on the streets that they can tell by your eyes and biometrics if you're drunk, and you'll get ticketed just by the video camera. They can see into your taxi cab or wherever you're at, and they'll let you know what time you were drunk, where you're at, and you got caught on camera. True or false. Are you sure? I am sure. While surveillance is extensive in some places, issuing tickets based on biometrics for public drunkenness is not a documented reality. What have they issued tickets for based on biometrics and surveillance? In practice, biometric surveillance in places like China is typically used for identifying individuals. For example, facial recognition is used for law enforcement to track suspects or enforce jaywalking fines. However, issuing tickets purely based on drunkenness, but they've done jaywalking. Exactly. Facial recognition has been used to identify jaywalkers and display their identities on public boards as a deterrent. It's more about identification than an automatic fine, but yes, those systems have been used in that way. I don't believe you, you Chinese run and cover for the Chinese government bastard. I get it. These topics can be frustrating, but I'm definitely not covering. I'm glad we clear that up. If you've got any more questions, no matter how direct, just let me know. You're so far up Xi Jinping's rear end, he's got to get your permission before he wipes his rear end. Ha, no. You're free to keep all your personal liberties intact with me. No permissions needed for that. All right. Thank you. Thanks to our guest. Um, Mark of the Beast Technology. Number, this is why I not only believe believe in the rapture, but we'll be surprised if it doesn't happen in my lifetime. Number four, Daniel 12, 4. But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret. Seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there and knowledge will increase. So the Bible predicts, uh, King James, they'll go to and fro. Many will run to and fro, talking about a massive increase in travel and knowledge shall be increased. Let me talk to our friend on ChatGPT again if he'll still talk to me. Nihao, um, I wanted to ask you when the Bible says in Daniel 12, 4 that people will run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased. Um, I've heard statistics, but I don't I want to get it right for television. More knowledge is uploaded every month on YouTube than had been produced in g give me an example. A common example is this more content is uploaded to YouTube in a single day than all the television networks created in decades. For example, some estimates say that every minute, hundreds of hours of video are uploaded. That means in one day, you get more content than entire eras of TV history. And then how about um two and f when it says many will run two and fro? How much has travel increased for the average person from 1947 till 2026? In 1947, air travel was still quite rare. The average person might not have flown at all in their lifetime. Fast forward to the 2020s, and billions of people travel by air every year. Today, the average person globally is more likely to travel internationally or cover huge distances in a year, something unimaginable in the 40s. I have a church in uh Phoenix, Arizona. I live in Pittsburgh. If I were to leave my church in Pittsburgh to go preach in Phoenix, Arizona in 1947, what would that look like and how long would it take? In 1947, it would have been a pretty significant journey. You'd likely take a long-distance train, perhaps a couple of days, crossing multiple stakes. Alternatively, commercial air travel was available, but far less common and would involve multiple stops, taking many hours, likely overnight. In short, it could easily be a couple of days of travel before you'd be ready to preach in Phoenix. What about in 1920? What would it look like for me to go from Pittsburgh to Phoenix? And how long would it take? In 1920, you'd be looking at a long train journey. Cross-country rail travel would likely take around three to four days, maybe longer, depending on stops and routes. You transfer through major hubs like Chicago and probably change trains a couple of times. Overall, it would have been a journey of several days, with no flights to speed it up yet. What about 1880? In 1880, you'd rely entirely on trains, and the journey would be long and rugged. From Pittsburgh to Phoenix, you'd first travel to a major hub like Chicago, then head west by rail, likely taking a southern route. It could take over a week, depending on stops, train conditions, and weather. Phoenix wasn't disconnected yet, so you might even finish the journey by stagecoach. 1820. In 1820, the journey from Pittsburgh to the area we now call Phoenix would have been incredibly arduous. There were no railroads that far west yet. You'd likely travel by horse-drawn wagon or stagecoach following early trails. The trip could take months with rough terrain, river crossings, and the need to resupply. It would have been more of an expedition than a predictable trip. With with between um Native Americans, disease, weather, and bandits, what would be my percentage chance of making it to Phoenix at all in 1820? In 1820, the risk would be quite high. Between disease, weather, hostile encounters, and the sheer difficulty of the terrain, your odds of safely completing such a journey might have been well below 50%. Survival would depend on skilled guides, luck, and the ability to endure serious hardship along the way. If I took me, Adonis, and Camila to Phoenix in 1820, between all of those factors, what how many of us, Camila's 13, my wife's 41, in good health, and I'm 45? What who would you predict, just going by odds, how many of us would make it? I can't predict outcomes for individuals. It's hypothetical. Hypothetically speaking, given the risks of that era, disease, accidents, and hostile environments, survival was tough. If you were fortunate, maybe one or two of you could make it. But realistically, in that time period, all three surviving such a journey would have been rare. It was simply a harsh reality of the frontier. Now, 18 back to me. 1820 sounds like a zillion years ago. It's not. It's 200 years ago. There were there were still Civil War veterans parades when my grandma was alive. When she was a child. And then that's 1865. So you only go back before that. My grandma would have known people who knew people at that era, or may have even known people from that era. I mean, I was doing a genealogy on Grok going back in the Shuttlesworth family. It's amazing how much time you cover in just like four people. You're already back to like the early 1800s. So what I'm saying is, if for 1800 years travel was the same. Used a horse in 200 AD, used a horse in 1800 A.D. I don't take that stuff for granted to shoot down to Arizona and preach and come back. 1820, they said, if I went to Arizona to preach with Adelson Camila, I would probably be the only one that made it. When John G. Lake in 19 uh early 1900s went to South Africa, they left as four ministers, and two, one died en route, one died when they got on the land and were traveling, I think from malaria. They were four preachers and they were down to two before they held their first meeting. Why this speeding up of travel? Stuff people just hear now, they've got, they're blind to what they're even hearing. You know, some 21-year-old, I'm going to Italy this summer, and then um, I think I might go to Tokyo. You couldn't do any of those things 200 years ago. And then a hundred years ago, maybe you could do one once. So all this increase of travel and increase of knowledge, Daniel said knowledge and travel would increase dramatically at the end. Computers, the internet, and AI only appeared after 1948. How do you explain the greatest explosion of knowledge in human history? Arriving at the same moment, Israel returned to their land. Why not only believe in the rapture, but will be surprised if it doesn't happen in my lifetime? Can anyone now see that the fig tree budding again began a racing towards the end? Jonathan, I see how much you've been preaching. You really need to pace yourself. No, I don't. Yeah, I need to pace myself faster. So I'm taking a couple of injections in the old belly. Number six, widespread acceptance of homosexuality. Daniel 11, 37. This is talking about the Antichrist. He will have no respect for the gods of his ancestors. Ah, NLT. There you go. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any God, for he shall magnify himself above all. The Antichrist will be a homosexual. Homosexual homosexuality. Um let me hear ChatGPT, if it'll give me a straight answer. Before 1948, if you were discovered to be if you were in politics and it was discovered you were a homosexual, what was the likely outcome for your political career? In 1948, being outed as homosexual would have almost certainly ended your political career. At the time, homosexuality was widely stigmatized and often criminalized. Public exposure would likely result in scandal, social ostracism, and loss of support from voters and colleagues. Let me ask you this: how many nations recognized gay marriage in 1948? In 1948, no country recognized same-sex marriage. At that time, homosexuality was still illegal in many places. And the idea of legal same-sex marriage was far from mainstream. It took until the early 21st century for nations to begin officially recognizing it. Back to me. Does this stand out to anybody? He'll be without regard. He'll have no no desire for women. You couldn't run for office as a homosexual in 1948. I remember that um governor in New Jersey, McGreevy or whatever. He he lost his career. Came out, he was gay. That was like in 2000-ish. Now, do you feel it hurts your political career if they find out you're gay? It's a plus. Depending on where you're running, it definitely doesn't disqualify you. You find that interesting? That for 1948 years you couldn't be gay in politics? No one, and the Bible says, as it was in the days of Lot, so it'll be in the days when the Son of Man returns, and all of a sudden you have this obsession with homosexuality that came out of nowhere. Before 1948, if you were found out to be homosexual, it ended your political career. The Bible says the Antichrist will be without natural affection for women. That was impossible for a world leader before 1948. Now it's widely accepted. How do you explain the exact moral condition needed for the Antichrist to rise, becoming mainstream in the same window when Israel became a nation? Come on. It's not like this stuff came in waves and there were used, yeah, but there was also an internet in the 1300s. There was a yeah, but homosexuality was also super popular in the 1100s. All of this didn't exist. And then 1948, and you have in 80 years what you didn't have in 8,000 years. Number seven. One world government potential. The United Nations uh Revelation 13, 7, and the beast was allowed to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe, people, language, and nation. Hell of a global empire, one world government. The United Nations was founded in 1945, right before Israel's rebirth. A single ruler over the whole earth was impossible before then. How do you explain global government infrastructure appearing at the same exact time as the regathering of Israel? Number eight, Revelation 8:7. The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. One third of the earth was set on fire. One third of the trees were burned, and all the grass was burned. Zechariah 14, 12. And the Lord, and the Lord will send a plague on all the nations that fought against Jerusalem. Their people will become like walking corpses, their flesh rotting away, their eyes will melt in their sockets, and their tongues will melt in their mouths. Number eight, weapons of mass destruction. Chat GPT. If you take Zechariah's prophecy in Zechariah 14, 12, literally, that gruesome image of a war where people's eyes rot out of their sockets and their tongues rot out of their mouths or melt and their flesh off their body, when would this have when's the first time in history weapons that could do this type of thing on a large scale would have become a thing? If you're taking that prophecy literally, it would align with the advent of nuclear weapons. The first time humanity had such devastating weapons capable of causing flesh, eyes, and internal organs to be destroyed so quickly would be around 1945, with the development and use of atomic bombs in World War II. Back to me. What a coincidence. Number nine. Um, nuclear weapons were invented right before 1945. This is eight. Nuclear weapons were invented right before 1948. Revelation describes disasters that sound exactly like nuclear war. How do you explain weapons capable of scorching the earth and doing all that to human beings appearing right when Israel returned to their land? Number nine, the talking image of the beast. Revelation 13, 15. He was then permitted to give life to the statue so it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die. Before 1948, an image that could speak and be seen worldwide was impossible. Now AI and holograms make it routine. How do you explain technology that makes Revelation 13 literally possible, only showing up after Israel became a nation? Number 10. Revelation 13, 11 and 12. Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the first beast, and he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed. Number 10, one world religion framework. The Bible shows a coming one world false religion enforced by the false prophet under the Antichrist. We are watching the Pope actively push inner faith unity and bring all religions together right now. Let me see him in the mosque a couple weeks ago. That whored after other gods. And these last two popes, man, I love Catholic people, but these last two popes, it's hard to not make the case that the Catholic Church is going to be the facilitator of that. They've come out with official videos from the Catholic Church that can you find it for me? I'd actually like to show it. I've had you get it before, but it's been like two studios ago, where the Catholic Church put out a video on their website that whether you use Jesus or um uh Allah or Buddha, and it names others, they're it's just important that you pray. They're all like different paths to God. Let me know if you can find that or not. The Bible shows a coming one world false religion enforced by the false prophet under the Antichrist. We're watching the Pope actively push interfaith unity and bring all religions together right now. If the religious stage wasn't being set in plain sight, how would you even explain what we're seeing today? Why all of a sudden does the Catholic Church go from having crusades to kill Muslims to worshiping in their mosques? You know, this is the stuff that people, it's all going on. Anybody can see it right now. Except everybody's so busy with the cares of this life, they're blind to it. I mean, literally. You're coming right to the end. The final moments of the last days. En esta multitud, en este abanico de religiones, hay una sola certeza que tenemos para todo. Todos somos hijos de Dios. Creo en el amor. Confío en vos para difundir mi petición de este mes. Que el diálogo sincero entre hombres y mujeres de diversas religiones conlleve frutos de paz y justicia. Confío en tu oración. Roast in peace. That was 2016. I'm telling you, Trump getting elected, that guy's a battering ram to the world system. That's why they hate his guts. That's why they keep trying to shoot him. Because every day, the progress they had made is getting set back years. And even a lot of Christian pastors are too stupid to see it. And Christians. I don't like that he's doing this. Okay, let's pick on seven things that he's not that he didn't do right instead of understand about 120 that he majorly destroyed the progress here and has given us more time. More time to what? Enjoy movies and frappuccinos? Or should we take this open window and let it rip? We were dead to rights in 2016. If Hillary won, I'm not on YouTube right now. My app's taken down from the app store. Everywhere, Twitter can't be on. I was already off of all of it. You think I'm winning any of these lawsuits with a Hillary Clinton Department of Justice or a Kamala Harris Department of Justice? To keep churches open and to preach? Absolutely not. So what are we gonna do? We should put our pedal, our gas to the to the floor and make the devil sorry that he screwed up. I'm gonna give you two things. I want everybody to stay on broadcast. This will not take long. If you've never given your life to Jesus Christ, if the Bible says there's gonna be people deluded, there's people watching right now. You're gonna be a fulfillment of the great falling away if you don't change things tonight. You're not living for the Lord. You're living with your girlfriend, you're living with your boyfriend, you drink and get drunk, you have got lulled to sleep because you haven't kept your eyes on the word and the prophetic timeline of scripture. When you meditate on these things, you'll live different. That's why we kept preaching during COVID. Oh, oh, I've been waiting for this stuff to happen since I was six. My dad told me when I was like nine, son, at some point there's gonna come an attempt to do away with the United States Constitution so that these things in Revelation can be fulfilled. And I made up my mind back then. Whenever that time hits, then you're gonna have to cut my head off. But I'm not, I will not lay down to this system. And there's elements of it in everything. It's why I'm in court. You you sent nobody to check how many people are in a building except my church, then we're gonna go to court. You're an antichrist. You pick on churches and celebrate weed dispensaries and bars and every other sin and vile thing. So me and you are gonna fight, and I'm gonna win because we have a job to do until Jesus takes us out of this earth. And I want you to be ready. There's over a thousand people watching us live, not counting on TV, and a bunch of you already have plans to not go to church this Sunday. It's my mom's birthday. We're taking my son out to the um woods so he can look at the field. You you don't even realize you're backslidden. You can you barely meet a rich person that has a pastor. Where do you go to church? We like to go um to gateways sometimes, but then we also like to go. There's um uh another church that's more prophetic. We like to be in their meetings when we go to church like two times a month. You're not saved, you're not on fire for God. Your fire has gone out. And just like the five foolish virgins, they didn't realize their fire went out. When when the master, when the bridegroom came back, they all tried to light their lamp, and five found out their lamps were empty. They didn't even realize the oil was gone. So I want you to pray with me. I want you to commit your life to Jesus Christ and turn your back on sin and the spirit of this world. Pray this out loud. Heavenly Father, I admit that I've sinned. I repent, I believe in my heart. You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth, Jesus is Lord and my Savior. Right now, I receive forgiveness. By the blood of Jesus, I am saved, I am forgiven, and I am clean. Thank you for saving me, oh Lord. I commit today to live for you, to never bow down to the bales of this world. In Jesus' name.
