=== Persecution And Tribulations (07:13) ===

[00:00:00]  The first question: Has the persecution of the church and the war against religious freedoms in America begun?
[00:00:09]  Absolutely.
[00:00:10]  And I like that word because Mondo uses the word absolutely too, because there are absolutes.
[00:00:16]  The war on Christians and Christianity is playing out in the headlines of every democratic state right now when they're closing churches down and even arresting pastors and also impounding hundreds of cars that come together.
[00:00:33]  Now, meanwhile, the abortion clinics aren't shut down.
[00:00:38]  Let's just say this.
[00:00:39]  I want to be very tactful here, but places where alternate lifestyle meet by literally some of them, hundreds, aren't shut down.
[00:00:47]  And what's going on, in my opinion, is we are now facing tribulations, plural.
[00:00:54]  You know, Laurie, Mondo, and Marciela, that the word the doesn't precede tribulation in the New Testament.
[00:01:03]  It's tribulations, plural.
[00:01:05]  The scripture says that in this life, in this world, we will have tribulations.
[00:01:10]  Unfortunately, and I'm on record as saying this, that until the COVID-19 virus really hit, and by the way, in my opinion, and it's an educated opinion, I wrote the book, Breathe No Evil, it's out of print 20 years ago, talking about binary chemical weapons and binary biological weapons.
[00:01:31]  The attack upon the United States, in my opinion, this is asymmetrical warfare.
[00:01:36]  In other words, the missiles aren't flying and battleships aren't shooting each other.
[00:01:41]  And what we would constantly or actually refer to as regular war, this is asymmetrical warfare.
[00:01:48]  We see now that our country's economy, and quite candidly, is in shambles.
[00:01:54]  We have 38 million people unemployed.
[00:01:57]  And I want people to think back and remember, was this even on the horizon of most people about a year ago?
[00:02:04]  My answer is probably not.
[00:02:07]  The famine that is coming, and I'll go to the famine of the word, because there's a famine of the word of God in the land, there's also a literal famine coming for food.
[00:02:19]  It is my contention that obviously America doesn't get it, that God has a controversy with this nation.
[00:02:27]  We have absolutely shortages.
[00:02:30]  And this is interesting.
[00:02:32]  The land of milk and plenty, the blessings that Almighty God has given to us, when we once honored him, when Jesus was once named in the pulpit, when the things of God were spoken about freely, when he was honored when the national anthem.
[00:02:48]  And for the record, I think that it's so obvious now that the four horsemen of the apocalypse are beginning their gallop.
[00:02:54]  Now, a lot of people don't believe that.
[00:02:57]  But for the first time in history, for the first time in history, one of the richest two men in the world, Bill Gates, has announced his plan for a worldwide or global vaccination, and it will have a tracer element in it.
[00:03:12]  You won't be able to buy, rent, sell, or trade, and you won't be able to travel.
[00:03:17]  And it's interesting because now it is my contention that the entire Chinese social credit score was developed in China by American citizens who were blessed in this country to ultimately integrate into this country.
[00:03:32]  And remember, you guys, that we are now in the place where we're becoming one of the most monitored societies in the world.
[00:03:39]  And everything changed after 9-11.
[00:03:42]  And so I think it's important that with the Mark of the Beast technology, that people understand that we are in biblical times.
[00:03:50]  And unfortunately, Mondo and I were talking, it was fortunate we were talking, but the power of the Holy Spirit has been denigrated.
[00:03:58]  It's been basically, he, the Holy Spirit, our comforter, isn't even spoken about.
[00:04:03]  And the reason being is Jesus is no longer uplifted.
[00:04:07]  He's no longer worshipped in the majority of pulpits across America.
[00:04:12]  The churches have become seeker-friendly, and they wanted to basically provide what I would call a humanistic gospel while still maintaining the title of Christianity, didn't understand one thing.
[00:04:24]  The scripture is very clear: it's not by might nor by power, but by God's Spirit, saith the Lord.
[00:04:29]  And until the book of Acts, the revelation of the power of God comes back into those who profess and confess Jesus as Lord, we're going to be under the boot of men.
[00:04:40]  And I don't think people understand this, that we're coming into times of multiple tribulations.
[00:04:47]  We've got our Chinese brethren being slaughtered.
[00:04:50]  We have them being burned alive.
[00:04:52]  We have the most horrible things, organs taken out of people, live vivisections.
[00:04:59]  We have reports coming from the Chinese.
[00:05:01]  And it was the Chinese Christians that told the world what was really going on.
[00:05:05]  We have the situation of increasing persecution against anybody who talks about the name of Jesus.
[00:05:12]  And remember, everybody, and this isn't a political statement, the Democrats and the rhinos without spinos, rhinos means Republican name only, went along and didn't throw a fit when the Democrats said, we don't want God on our party.
[00:05:28]  Even Governor Como said, you know, we've got this handled, the virus in New York and New York City.
[00:05:34]  God had nothing to do about it.
[00:05:36]  And there is no remembrance of the Lord in the land any longer.
[00:05:41]  And this is the problem with, you know, people have failed to face the whole idea that we're out of here before things get tough.
[00:05:50]  And I'm telling you, a lot of people, a lot of our brothers and sisters in Jesus right now are going hungry.
[00:05:56]  You can't feed a family of four, probably even two, on $1,200, especially when the groceries have doubled.
[00:06:03]  And we basically now have come into my opinion, we have come in to direct judgment, not on the Christians, but when God pours out his rain on the just and unjust alike, the righteous suffer, because the scripture is very clear.
[00:06:19]  If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
[00:06:23]  And I think that's what Laurie and Mondo and Marciela, I think that's what everybody's saying.
[00:06:27]  What can I do?
[00:06:28]  My answer to that is repent and believe.
[00:06:31]  There is no national cry.
[00:06:34]  There is no political cry.
[00:06:36]  There is no anything telling people we've got to repent.
[00:06:41]  God gave us, I believe, whether you like Trump, hate him.
[00:06:44]  People are so mixed in their emotions, but God gave us so far 42 months to repent.
[00:06:52]  And I don't see any repenting.
[00:06:53]  What I see is people turning to Q Anonymous.
[00:06:58]  By the way, I was a real Q before those guys showed up, but they actually have become so enamored with the promise, well, it's going to get better.

=== Belief in Full-Scale End-Of-Age Events (00:36) ===

[00:07:07]  You know, all the bad guys, the swamp is going to be arrested.
[00:07:10]  To date, nobody in the swamp has been arrested.
[00:07:14]  The point that I'm trying to make is this: we are in a time unlike any other.
[00:07:19]  I believe we have entered into the full-scale end-of-the-age events.
[00:07:24]  And obviously, Jim has thought that too.
[00:07:27]  And it's getting, how should I say this?
[00:07:28]  It's getting where even the skeptical Christians can't deny it because of where we're at.
