Stock Market Rebound? 00:07:12
Hello, everybody, and welcome to today's episode of Revelation in the News.
I'm your host, Zach Drew.
And I'm Andrew Bellers.
That's right.
And Sasha is no longer.
She's still with us, but she's not going to be here for today's broadcast.
It's just going to be me and Andrew running this show.
So like I said, it's going to be back with you.
This is the week in review.
Every Friday, we want to cover what we feel is the most important topics, the most important happenings of this week.
But also remember that if there's ever any breaking news, we're not going to wait until Friday to discuss it with you.
If it's really breaking and really pressing, we will actually do a revelation in the news show that day.
Absolutely.
I mean, we know that it's vital that we stay up to date with what's happening in the world and how that pertains to Revelation and what God's plan is for us.
And we think it's absolutely vital that you stay up to date too.
And we want to do everything that we can to help you.
That's right.
So, you know, we want to start every show on Friday.
We start at 2:45 p.m. Central Standard Time because the market closes here at 3 p.m. Central Standard Time.
And we want to give up-to-date live updates of the market.
It looks like the market is in somewhat of a tiny rebound today, but we're up about 190 points right now.
But that doesn't factor in the thousands of points that the market has vanished since May of 2015 when we were at somewhere over 18,300 points.
And we're right around 16,000 points today.
So the market was still majorly in the news this week.
Wall Street had another brutal day Wednesday as the stock prices completely plummeted.
Here's the thing.
We always talk about you, you know, you watch Rabbi Jonathan Connant and the record-setting events of 2001 and 2008 where in one day, the market crashed 777 points in 2008.
And it was actually the last day that the Shemitah year, the seven-year cycle.
And it dropped 7%, the largest percent drop in recorded history.
It is the number one greatest drop at 7%.
What's interesting is that if this market isn't the number one issue on your mind right now, then you're looking in the wrong place.
Because just since January 4th, when the market opened this year, the market has vanished 10%.
10% of the market is completely gone.
Remember, record-setting events, 2008, 7%.
We're already at 10% gone from this year so far.
And if the market isn't on your mind and if it's not the focus of all of your attention right now, we can promise you that it's going to be.
You may not be feeling the effects very hard right now, but we know that you will be in the future.
Exactly.
You know, 10% down, $3.6 trillion lost globally just this year.
10% down in the market, 3.6 trillion down globally.
This Wednesday, a 500-point drop in the middle of the day.
Andrew, tell us what happened Wednesday.
Well, I have an article here from NPR that says Wall Street has another brutal day as stock prices plummet.
It says, the turmoil on Wall Street showed no signs of letting up today as fears about the slowing global economy once again set oil and stock prices tumbling.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down more than 500 points, a drop of 3.5% at a little afternoon, though it later rebounded somewhat and ended the day down 249 points.
Meanwhile, oil fell below $27 a barrel, a 12-year low.
I think it's amazing that this Wednesday, in one day alone, it dropped 500 points, which is 3.5%.
We just talked about how the biggest percentage droppage was, what was it, 7%?
7%, 8%.
78%.
7%.
And this, in the past two weeks, this is not an abnormal day.
I mean, almost every day, we've been having huge percentage drops.
You know, what's crazy is though, you know, whenever I look at the great influenza where the media, the newspapers, did not report at all what was truly taking place in America.
They were saying, don't panic.
You know, it's just a mild case of flu.
Well, 100 million people died in 1918 from the great influenza.
And on one particular page in that book, it says that one thing that we've learned is that we cannot trust what the government would put out in a scenario like that.
They'll do everything they can to make it so that the public doesn't panic, including not tell you the truth.
And if you listen to the economic pundits today on whether, I don't care what you're listening to with this Fox News scene at MSNBC, you would think that everything is a-okay with the market and there's nothing at all to worry about.
When Michael Snyder says this, the mainstream media in the United States is telling everyone not to panic.
Instead of time to sell, the mainstream media is urging people to jump in and take advantage of all the great deals in the stock market right now.
Michael Snyder says, I really like what Mike Adams of Natural News had to say about what we are seeing.
And this is what Michael Adams of Natural News had to say.
He wrote an article, says, like sheep to slaughter, you still aren't grasping the systemic risk in the stock market, or else you would have sold everything already.
He says, if you still own stocks and mutual fund shares, you still aren't grasping the systemic risk in the stock market.
No matter what you claim to believe, it is your actions that actually determine your true grasp of reality.
Failing to sell all your stockholdings right now could result in massive losses as the world's bubble markets continue with an implosion that could wipe out 50% of current valuations for many stocks.
So he's actually saying you need to sell everything you have.
Now, I want to make it very clear, we are not saying that because we are not in a position where we can actually, if we told you that, we could actually be sued.
But I have nothing to worry about because I have nothing in the stock market.
So he's telling you, remember, from natural news, Mike Adams is saying to sell everything.
And it could mean in the future a 50% complete devaluation in the Dow, in the stock market.
And some reports are even saying 75% could vanish.
Yeah.
And I think our country, this has always kind of been the approach to really scary news, to really scary situations.
We don't want to upset the masses.
We don't want to have panic in the streets.
Jubilee Year Debt Relief 00:08:20
And so we see this pattern over and over again, you know, when we have reports from the White House after events of ideologically driven terror attacks and we're hearing them on the news and they're being called workplace violence.
I mean, this is just a recurring pattern that we're seeing where things really are much worse than they want to make it seem.
Yeah, and I think, and I wouldn't, history has a way of repeating itself, Andrew.
And I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was some government regulation that actually made it mandatory that our media would be censored.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if they actually, with prison sentences, would make it so that the American public could not say certain things.
Now, what a radical statement is that you're saying.
Well, it's happened before.
Yeah, there was circumstances behind it, but it happened in 1917.
Once again, it was concerning the great influenza.
The media, nobody was reporting about it.
Why?
Because of the hardcore censorship that came from our government.
You see, Woodrow Wilson passed something called the Espionage Act, which dumbed down, it basically means that it was hardcore censorship of the media, that they couldn't say what they wanted to say.
That they couldn't say anything.
It was a time of war.
It was during World War I.
They couldn't say anything anti-war, anything anti-government.
They couldn't say anything that would hurt morale or anything a little less than enthusiastically patriotic.
Something else that was set up during that time period in World War I was something called the New Sedition Act, which limited not the media, but you.
It limited civilians.
They couldn't say, we, the American, First Amendment rights, out the window, free speech, you couldn't say anything anti-war, anything anti-government.
You also, like the media, couldn't say anything that was a little less than enthusiastically patriotic.
And if you did, even if what you said about the government was true, you faced 20 years in prison under the New Sedition Act.
This happened in America already, 1917.
And people were put in prison for that long.
Even one congressman, because he was against the war, he was put into prison.
And there was actually even something called the APL that was put into place in that time period.
And it stood for the American Protective League.
And it was a volunteer organization made up of men.
And their sole purpose, there was 90,000 of them within the first two months of the creation of this organization, 200,000 of them by the end of the year.
And their sole purpose was to spy on their neighbors and to spy on their friends.
And if anything was said that was anti-government or anti-war, they would attack them or turn them in.
And so whenever the great influenza started to take place and people started to die all over America by the thousands and tens of thousands, no one would say anything.
One, because they didn't want to hurt morale, and two, because they were scared to go to prison for 20 years.
One thing that we can learn is that the media is not going to tell us what's really taking place.
And I wouldn't be surprised at all if things really start to escalate in America again, if the media and civilian life will once again be censored.
You see, the media, or excuse me, the economic crisis is not over yet.
It says there are a lot of people, this is from Michael Snyder, there are a lot of people that still believe that this is just a temporary bump in the road and that things will return to normal very soon.
They don't understand that this is just the beginning.
What we have seen so far is just the Warm-Up Act and much, much worse is yet to come.
I mean, they're warning of an avalanche of even bankruptcies coming soon.
It really doesn't seem like things are going to get better soon.
I have an article here from the Telegraph that says, world faces wave of epic debt defaults.
Fierce central bank veteran.
It says the global financial system has become dangerously unstable and faces an avalanche of bankruptcies that will test social and political stability, a leading monetary theorist has warned.
He said the situation is worse than it was in 2007.
Our macroeconomic ammunition to fight downturns is essentially all used up, said William White, the Swiss-based chairman of the OECD's review committee.
And he goes on to say debts have continued to build up over the last eight years and they have reached such levels in every part of the world, not just America, but every single part of the world, that they have become a potent cause for mischief.
And he says it will become obvious in the next recession that many of these debts will never be serviced or repaid.
And this will be uncomfortable for a lot of people who think they own assets that are worth something, but really don't.
This is the only question is whether we are able to look reality in the eye and face what is coming in an orderly fashion or whether it will be disorderly.
He said debt jubilees have been going on for 5,000 years as far back as the Sumerians.
Jubilee.
Yeah, I thought that was interesting.
I honestly stopped as soon as I saw that because essentially what he's saying is that we are in such a dire situation right now.
And people, the debt all around the world, not just in our country, but everywhere, is rising so quickly that it's not realistic to assume that a lot of this debt can even be paid back.
And what he's saying basically is that we really need to start looking at how we can resolve this situation by essentially absolving people of debt and having a big jubilee, which is really interesting because we know that biblically this is a Jubilee year.
And how interesting would that be if in the Jubilee year that there is a massive Jubilee around the world?
Wouldn't that be something?
That would be incredible.
And you know, talking about our debt crisis in America, we're in a situation right now where nobody can fix it.
People could do things to prolong the inevitable of a complete crash or a complete market correction, but we've worked ourselves into a hole that we can't get out of.
For example, there was a recent study we've done within the last year that if you all of the debt that America has, personal debt, government debt, the $18 trillion, if you add up all of our debt, college debt, every piece of debt that the American public has in every way, it actually adds up to around a $211 trillion with a T. $200 trillion in debt, the American public.
Now, what's incredible is this, is that if you sold everything in the world, in the world, everything in the world, this table, the cameras that we're broadcasting through, the microphone in my hand and the jacket on my back, if you sold everything in the world, it would come out to right around $200 trillion.
We owe $211 trillion.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if something took place to where it would be a Jubilee where the world system is completely just wiped out and made new.
That's even hard to wrap your mind around that we have amassed so much debt that the whole world, if we sold everything, we couldn't pay it all.
And, you know, I'm reminded of you saying, could something take place to wipe out everything?
That's a really interesting thought.
It is the Jubilee year right now.
And Rick Joyner gave a word on January 4th, the opening day of the market whenever the Dow experienced triple digit losses.
Over a trillion dollars vanished just that one day from the Global Stock Exchange.
And he wrote this, I expect the economy to eclipse just about every other crisis as the number one issue on the minds of people in the not-too-distant future.
We Elect Likability in Times of Peace 00:04:20
Is that taking place right now?
It seems to be.
But as one person once said, I don't think we've seen anything yet.
You know, and so that's going to end it for the market today.
Speaking of Rick Joyner, just to keep you up to date with what the prophets are saying, Rick Joyner leans towards voting for Donald Trump.
Yeah, let me read what he said.
It's very, very interesting.
He says, I'm still undecided about who to vote for in the South Carolina primary, but I have leaned toward Trump for several reasons.
First, I have dreams that tend to come true, and I've had a series of dreams about the kinds of unspeakable attacks soon to come on the U.S. from the crossing of our southern border.
When Trump began his campaign with the notice that he was going to close that border, it got my attention.
I think that this will be the biggest issue facing America soon.
Wow.
Then I liked the way Trump was politically incorrect.
He gave the truth.
That's all Rick Jordan.
I'm saying that.
He speaks the truth.
Even though I did not like some of what he said or even how he said it, I really appreciated his courage to say them.
The courage trumpeted the sometimes over-the-top statements.
Third, I felt that he may be the one candidate that best understood the world economy, which I saw becoming the next biggest issue after security.
And I think that this is already proven to be true.
And fourth, I liked his relationship with Ted Cruz.
With the possible exception of Huckabee, Cruz is the most faithful conservative, and he has proven willing to even stand alone and take all the heat coming from the establishment of both parties and not compromise his principles.
I think it was Cruz's affection for Trump and Trump's seeming affection for Cruz that made many evangelicals feel comfortable with Trump.
So, Rick Joyner is at the moment leaning towards voting for Donald Trump.
And I just wanted to let you know his reasons behind it.
I think it was very interesting.
And, you know, one thing historically, Andrew, is that the American people, they vote, they elect as far as the president.
We elect likability in times of peace.
Historically, we elect likability in times of peace.
But in times of war or turmoil, we elect decisiveness.
I think that's what the American people are looking for right now.
That we might not be in a full-fledged war, even though some prophets believe that we are in World War III right now.
We may not be in a war as we know it, but there is so much turmoil and so much pressure right now that you and I feel in America that we aren't ready to just vote in someone because we like them.
We're going to vote in somebody that's decisive.
And I think that we're going to see that more so in just the next few months to come.
Absolutely.
And I think that's a pattern in the world, really.
I mean, when you look at the course of history and who is in power when, I mean, look at Winston Churchill.
He's like not an attractive guy.
It seems like we tend to elect people who are good-looking guys, which is kind of funny because a lot of people, I feel like, will even cast someone out just because they don't like the way that they look.
Wow.
You know what's crazy is that they actually kind of saying that, they kind of cast off Winston Churchill in times of peace, that he was kind of too radical and too off the handle, that they couldn't, they didn't quite feel, they didn't quite trust him in that.
But in times of war, who did they call?
They called Winston Churchill.
Absolutely.
That's awesome.
I'm glad that you said that.
Also, in the week in review, make sure that you're praying for the Southeast.
They're going to be experiencing historic snowstorms.
Some areas are going to be experiencing 30 inches of snow in one day.
There's a hashtag going around social media right now that's called Snow Mageddon 2016.
Look at some of these pictures of what they're experiencing there.
I know that you have a story about this, Andrew.
Yeah, I have an article right here that talks about those pictures.
What we can expect on the East Coast.
End Times Prophecy 00:10:26
It says, concerned shoppers worried about spending days snowed indoors have hit grocery stores hard, leaving empty shelves in their wake.
Hours before a massive snowstorm is due for the northeastern United States.
It says a few inches of snow have already piled up in places like Washington, D.C., causing havoc, but forecasters predict Winter Storm Jonas could be a historic storm that will bring 50 to 60 miles per hour winds and more than two feet of snow.
And this is, honestly, these pictures that you're seeing right now, this is why we have the ministry here that we do.
You know, it is for end times things and for tribulation and preparing for really unimaginable circumstances.
But this is an entirely imaginable circumstance, and it's one that's coming.
And look, there's no food to be found.
And when there's no food to be found, where are you going to get food?
If there's no food to be found, where are you going to find food?
That's right, Andrew.
Okay, so next in the week in review, this is a very, very important article.
You know, we have guests like Joel Richardson, the author of The Islamic Antichrist, that is an expert in the Muslim world.
And we have not heard the end of Islamic radicalism in America.
And as the end times unfold, we're going to be hearing more and more and more of it.
I truly believe that, and we'll get into it just a minute, that the man that they call their Mahdi, their Savior, that's going to come and redeem Islam globally, is the same man that you and I as Christians are going to call the Antichrist.
This is a very important article.
Andrew, read this article.
This is from charisma.
It says, Islam will become dominant religion, according to new research.
It says, a new prediction from the Pew Research Center says that Islam could be the dominant religion by the end of the century as the Muslim faith grows at record rates.
Another way of thinking about it is Christianity had a seventh century head start in Islam and Islam is finally catching up.
And that's, you're talking about Islamic Antichrist, and that's in Joel Richardson's book.
He has some research in there basically saying that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and much faster than Christianity.
Of course, there are numbers that we don't entirely know because they're hidden, because it's actually kind of illegal in most of China, all China, to proselytize and to be Christian even.
So the underground church in China is growing rapidly also.
So there are numbers that we're not entirely aware of.
But what is really obvious, what we are aware of, is that Islam is growing rapidly.
That's right.
I want to take a couple of minutes and I want to teach you something.
I want to teach you something about Islam and their eschatology.
Eschatology is just a fancy word that means end times.
It's the study of end times.
And in their book, The Quran and the Hadiths, they have their own eschatology.
They have their own study of end times of things that are going to take place at the end of the world, similar to Christianity.
We have the book of Revelation.
We have many passages in Ezekiel and Daniel and other portions of scripture that talk about our eschatology, our end times.
And one of those that, whether you're a Christian or not, we've all heard it.
We've been inundated since birth, basically, whether we're reading material or reading crazy storms coming to the world or different movies.
It's the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
You don't have to be Christian to have heard that before.
But if you want to look at the four horsemen, the apocalypse, you need to turn to Revelation chapter 6.
And Revelation chapter 6, verse 1, has the very first horseman of the apocalypse, the white horse.
And it says this.
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, come and see.
And I looked and behold a white horse.
Many people across the board believe this to be the Antichrist.
I looked and behold a white horse.
He who sat on it had a bow and a crown was given to him.
And he went out conquering and to conquer.
This is the Antichrist.
Now what's interesting is that there are Muslim scholars that are scholars of the Quran and the Hadiths, the writings of Muhammad.
And they believe that the Bible is corrupted, but they believe that there are parts of the Bible that have integrity, that are actually still true.
And one of those portions of scripture that they actually believe, they believe the Bible is a corrupted book, but there's elements of truth.
There's elements that are portions of scripture that are still true.
And one of those portions of scripture is Revelation chapter 6, the first horseman that we know is the Antichrist.
And what's so crazy is that they look at that first horseman, the white horseman, the horseman that's going to come to conquer and to conquer.
And they say, oh, this portion of the Bible is true.
This portion of the Bible is talking about our Mahdi.
So they're describing their Mahdi.
And we're like, yeah, that's not a good thing because that's the Antichrist.
You see, the Muslim community believes, it speaks of their Savior in our scriptures, and that's Revelation chapter 6.
And they believe that the white horse of Revelation chapter 6 is their Savior, the Mahdi, who's going to come and redeem Islam for the world and set up strict Sharia law, which, as Rick Joyner said, if the devil himself could write a constitution, it would look like Sharia law.
Now, what's crazy is that I believe that their Mahdi, whenever he comes upon the scene, Christians are going to say that's the Antichrist because there's some striking parallels between the Mahdi and the Antichrist.
Let me go over a couple of them with you.
He arrives on the scene, the Mahdi, in a time of great, after a time of great chaos and after a great war.
So in a time of crazy chaos and war, he comes upon the scene.
Similar to the Antichrist.
It says the Shiites believe that at the end of the time of the great wars will take place, the Imam Mahdi, the Shiites 12th Imam, will appear and kill all infidels, raising the flag of Islam in all corners of the world, killing all infidels.
In other words, he's killing the children of God.
He's killing anybody that does not believe that Muhammad was Allah's messenger.
That's exactly what the Antichrist does.
Here's another thing.
The Mahdi, he sets up a peace agreement with Israel.
That's what the Antichrist does.
And the Mahdi, according to their writing, he rules for seven years, the same as the Antichrist.
You know, I believe that the devil knows prophecy.
He knows prophecy better than you and I, and he knows it so well that he created another religion twisting our scriptures.
A religion that also has a savior, a false prophet and an antichrist.
Why?
So in the end times, the Muslims will look upon their book and say, look, see, our scriptures are true.
While Christians are going to be looking at our book, the Bible, and saying, yes, they are true, but according to our scriptures.
You see, the purpose behind all the devil's schemes is what?
It's to blind people, is to deceive people.
But that's not the root.
What's the purpose of blinding people?
What's the purpose of deceiving people?
To keep individuals from entering in the kingdom of heaven.
And it's our job to open up the eyes of not just the Muslim community, but everybody we come into contact with, that the God, the God of the Bible, he is true, he is alive, and he is powerful, and he's an effective God, and he wants to have a personal relationship with you.
It looks like we just have a couple more minutes left of today's show.
Andrew, what else is taking place in the news this week?
Well, I have another article here from Charisma.
It's a statement from Chuck Pierce.
And it says, God says, I will shake, I will shake.
And this is what he wrote.
It says, the Lord gave me the following word for our nation, America and the body within the USA.
Over the next six months, the nation of the USA will shake.
This is the beginning of the Lord of the nations calling out and separating the nations.
He said, I will develop boldness like never before in a people who have grown acceptable and silent.
Don't just look at others to lead the way, for a new spirit of boldness is coming upon you.
I will be rearranging many things in your nation in these days ahead.
I will start shaking the present church and will bring a new anointing on the pastors and leaders of this land.
I will shake, I will shake, I will shake again.
He said, I'm choosing nations that will become sheep.
A new people I'm raising up for this hour.
A different move of my spirit is beginning.
There will be a freedom among a freedom moving among my people.
I will start separating nations and forming new sounds in my people that will realign their nation with my purposes.
Those who do not allow a new move of my spirit to unlock their present order will be stymied and stopped from advancing.
Wow.
A great shaking is coming.
I believe spiritually and physically.
We have several articles talking about how emergency crews work on plans for the deadly big one.
And another article, strong earthquakes frequently dramatically increasing in Oklahoma.
There's a great shaking coming.
And I believe it's going to be a shaking in the physical that's going to transform the spiritual.
That if you're on the fence post, if you're a lukewarm Christian, that if even if you wanted to remain on the fence post, it's going to be shaking so much in America that you're not going to be able to.
You're going to fall one way or the other.
Now is the time.
Today is the day to decide whose team are you on?
Are you on God's team in the light, so to speak, or are you on the enemy's team?
I'm telling you right now that lukewarm Christianity is going to be a thing of the past very soon.
You're not going to be able to have the choice to just, well, be lukewarm.
It looks like I hear it now.
The sounding bells.
The show is now over.
So remember, tune into our Roku.
We have people like Rick Joyner, Rick Wiles, Jordan Richardson, Tom Horn on our Roku network.
Buy a Roku today.
And we'll see you next Friday with Revelation in the news.
