Bible's Prophetic Hour 00:05:44
So there's been two men, spiritual fathers, if you will, in my life that have affected me more than anyone else.
And that's Jim Baker and Chuck Missler.
And Chuck Missler, here's a quote from him that I feel quite aptly describes the world that we live in today.
He says this, we have been plunged into a period of time about which the Bible says more than it does about any other period in human history, including the time when Jesus walked the shores of the Sea of Galilee or climbed the mountains of Judea.
There are more scriptures that pertain to the hour that we live in right now, Dr. Chuck Misler was saying, than even scriptures dedicated to the first coming of Jesus.
What an absolutely incredible statement.
And that is the hour that we're living in right now.
And what an honor it is to live in that hour.
But it means that we are going to see hell on earth.
But like you said, when the world is divided in Matthew 24, when it talks about how kingdom rises against kingdom and nation against nation, in my brain, that sounds like it's saying the exact same thing.
When kingdom shall rise against kingdom and nation shall rise against nation.
In my mind, I think to myself, well, that's kind of like a repeat.
It's like saying country will rise against country and country will rise against country, but it doesn't mean that.
The first part does mean country or nation will rise against nation, but the next part truly refers to that word there.
And I know you've heard this because Pastor Jim speaks about this.
That word there is ethnos rising against ethnos, which means ethnic group rising against ethnic group.
So we are seeing that division in the world today because of cultural Marxism, by the way.
You see, Karl Marx, which is the father of modern day communism, he put everybody into two categories, right?
It was the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the working man and the boss, right?
The working man and the capitalist.
So he basically had two groups of people.
Now, people didn't like, they weren't a huge fan, that type of communism, that type of Marxism.
They were a little weary when they realized it's ending in the gulag.
So then Antonio Gramsky came upon the scene and kind of brushed up, put some new paint on that barn.
And it's because of Antonio Gramsky that we're seeing a new type of Marxism today in America.
And it's called cultural Marxism, where the enemy is a term referred to as the cultural hegemony, the people that control everything.
So what Antonio Gramsky basically gave us was it's not working with two classes of people being pit against each other.
We need to put some categories of people and pit them all against each other.
And that's whenever basically there is a, it was actually Vodi Bachman.
And I know that you actually interviewed Vodi Bachman on the program at one time.
I had an opportunity to meet him in Atlanta, an incredible man of God.
And he basically said that cultural Marxism, the enemy today, could be summed up in seven categories.
And I'm probably, and this isn't even my notes.
This is bonus.
So I don't have it.
I hope I can get him.
It's white, male, cisgendered, American, able-bodied, Christian.
That's six.
I'm missing one.
So basically, if you are any of those things, you are the enemy.
You are the ones that hold power in this cultural hegemony.
And he pits everybody against one another, ethnic group against ethnic group, but every single type of class of people against one another.
This is cultural Marxism.
And if you aren't one of those things and you are something else, that is a degree of your oppression.
And so if you can check off certain things, like, well, let's say you're not American, let's say you're not white, let's say you're not Christian.
Well, now you have three intersections of oppression.
That's where we get the word intersectionality from.
But I say all of that to say this: Jesus, when praying to God the Father, says, Lord, I pray that they referring to the body of Christ are one as we are one.
And if anybody in the Bible gets his prayers answered, it's going to be Jesus.
There is a day that's coming whenever the world, because of cultural Marxism, is more divided than anything that we've ever been able to see because of what's listed in Matthew 24, the time of sorrows.
I believe that ethnos, rise against ethnos, is a sign of the cultural Marxism spreading like wildfire throughout the world.
When the world is divided, the body of Christ is going to come together in a way we have never seen before.
I do not think that we have good days on the horizon when we're referring to world events, but we do have good days on the horizon for the body of Christ.
It is going to become pure.
He's coming back for a pure and spotless bride.
So, as the world gets more and more divided, we must become more and more unified.
