=== Spiritual Warfare Shifts (15:16) ===

[00:00:01]  Hello and welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show coming to you from the village of Morningside, USA, nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains.
[00:00:11]  Today, our special guest is a best-selling author, teacher, and founder of El Shaddai Ministries in Sumner, Washington, Mark Biltz.
[00:00:22]  Our co-host today is Reverend Mondo De La Vega.
[00:00:27]  And now, live from Grace Street at Morningside, USA, here's your host, Pastor Ricky Baker.
[00:00:37]  Friends, you're watching the PTL Television Network.
[00:00:39]  Today we have Pastor Mark Biltz.
[00:00:42]  He is the founder and pastor of El Shaddai Ministries in Washington State.
[00:00:46]  He is a well-known and popular commentator on the Feast of the Lord and the importance of the connection between Judaism and Christianity.
[00:00:54]  Pastor Mark is the author of The Blood Moons, Decoding, Imminent Heavenly Signs, and Decoding the Prophet Jeremiah.
[00:01:01]  And his latest book is called America at War 2024 to 2026.
[00:01:07]  We're going to be diving into that today.
[00:01:08]  I have this book right here, America at War 2024 to 2026, The Sons of Light versus the Sons of Darkness.
[00:01:15]  Now, Mondo, we're going to get into the interview with Pastor Mark Biltz, but my goodness, I don't think that title could be any more timely.
[00:01:22]  I understand spiritual warfare is a continuous battle.
[00:01:25]  From, you know, whenever Adam and Eve were getting wrestled with the snake and he was saying the serpent, the evil one, he was saying, hey, take a bite of this, take a bite of this to Eve.
[00:01:33]  And then Adam took a bite as well.
[00:01:35]  That's spiritual warfare.
[00:01:36]  People didn't realize that.
[00:01:36]  That was spiritual warfare happening right there from the dawn of time until the very last moment here on earth.
[00:01:44]  There will be spiritual warfare, won't there?
[00:01:46]  It is part of the curriculum of how to grow spiritually.
[00:01:50]  How about that?
[00:01:51]  If you have no spiritual warfare, you're not growing.
[00:01:55]  That means you're not in the fight.
[00:01:56]  No, you're not in the fight.
[00:01:57]  You're just contending on the sides, hanging out, gossiping, and getting in trouble.
[00:02:02]  But I want to tell you something.
[00:02:04]  When you're engaged with spiritual warfare, that means that God is preparing you for a mission.
[00:02:13]  I was telling my son yesterday, either you go with God all the way or get out of the way because spiritual warfare has a way to mature you in the things of God because it will bring you to your knees and it's going to propel you to fast and pray in order to get out of the circumstance that spiritual warfare puts you in the middle of disaster zones, confusion, and Leviathan.
[00:02:39]  I mean, we can go down the list, but without spiritual warfare, there's no growth.
[00:02:44]  There is no growth.
[00:02:45]  Friends, I want you to open up the word of God.
[00:02:46]  If you're at home right now, open up to the book of Romans.
[00:02:50]  We're going to be reading out of chapter 8 right here, verse 37.
[00:02:53]  I'm going to read this out of the CSB version.
[00:02:55]  It says, no, in all these things, we are more than conquerors, not on our own, friend, through him who loved us.
[00:03:06]  We can conquer because of Christ.
[00:03:10]  That is why we are more than conquerors.
[00:03:11]  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ our Lord.
[00:03:30]  Mondo, when you're fighting through spiritual warfare, friend, when there are trials and tribulation, when life seems like the entire world's weight is on your shoulders, be reminded of this right here.
[00:03:40]  Open up the word of God to Romans chapter 8, verse 37 through 39.
[00:03:44]  And know and be persuaded, friend.
[00:03:47]  I want you at home watching this right now.
[00:03:49]  You're watching this or listening to this on a podcast, friends.
[00:03:52]  Be persuaded that neither death nor life, angels or rulers, nor neither things present or things to come, nor powers, nor heights or depths, nor any created thing will be able to separate you from the love of God that comes through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
[00:04:10]  Friend, if you're just tuning into this broadcast and you've never made the choice to make Jesus Christ your personal Lord and Savior, there has never been a better moment than right now to do that.
[00:04:19]  Friends, you can't say someday because we're not promised someday.
[00:04:22]  If you woke up this morning, you've been promised today for the duration and time in which you're alive right now.
[00:04:27]  And friends, you need to make that choice.
[00:04:29]  It is the most critical choice you will ever make because there is an eternal position at stake.
[00:04:35]  Friends, when you die, there's two places that you'll go.
[00:04:37]  You'll go either to heaven or you'll either go to hell.
[00:04:40]  You'll go to one or the other.
[00:04:42]  And friends, we want you to go to heaven.
[00:04:43]  That is why we care about your eternal position.
[00:04:46]  But while we're here on earth and we're fighting through trials, tribulations, through hardships, through financial, desperate situations, be convinced, be persuaded that nothing can separate you from the love of God.
[00:04:58]  I'm telling you, Mondo, it is an incredible verse to be encouraged by things like this.
[00:05:02]  To know, whenever I'm going through hard times, whenever tribulations come and knock at my door, whenever it seems like the world wants you to fail, because sometimes I know you've been through that, friend.
[00:05:12]  I know where it feels like your family has turned their back on you, your wife or your husband, your aunt, uncle, your brother, or sister has turned their back on you.
[00:05:20]  And you may be sitting at home saying, I am desperate right now from a touch of God because I feel like I'm alone.
[00:05:26]  Friend, be persuaded right now in this moment that nothing can separate you from the love of God that is through Jesus Christ.
[00:05:34]  That's important.
[00:05:35]  Nothing.
[00:05:36]  Amen.
[00:05:37]  Yet, the only thing that separates us is your free will, your own choice.
[00:05:42]  That's right.
[00:05:42]  You know, the word of God does say, Nobody can pluck me out of the hand of God.
[00:05:46]  And that is absolutely true.
[00:05:47]  Mondo, I've said this for many years.
[00:05:49]  I can remove myself from the hand of God.
[00:05:51]  You know, I got news this morning of a man that I had admired from afar, never met him, but I felt encouraged by his music.
[00:06:03]  Amen.
[00:06:03]  And I said, Man, this guy, God is using him.
[00:06:05]  He's anointed to do this.
[00:06:07]  And I got news that this man made a choice that was very unwise to cheat on his wife for years and kept it in a secret.
[00:06:18]  And I say this to say this: sometimes we see people on stage and platforms and ministries that they are anointed, but yet this is why it's so important to understand that the choice you make affects everyone around you.
[00:06:35]  That's right.
[00:06:35]  And it's so key because we are living in vital moments to understand that we need to walk in the humility of the covering of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, no matter how high you think you got.
[00:06:49]  You see, what happens is that we spend most of our time climbing up the ladder of success.
[00:06:55]  Most of the time, we spend all of our time climbing up the ladder of the spiritual success.
[00:07:01]  Yet, humility says, come down from the ladder and serve.
[00:07:06]  That's right.
[00:07:06]  No one is greater.
[00:07:09]  Understand that.
[00:07:10]  Don't spend your time trying to climb up the ladder to find out that there was nothing there.
[00:07:17]  Yet it is when you decide to climb down to understand what that very scripture that you just read, Ricky, to understand the unconditional love that Jesus Christ has for you in the middle of everything that the world seems to be successful.
[00:07:36]  Yet when you understand what that looks like, you understand, Ricky, what the foundation means.
[00:07:44]  Family is being contended for right now.
[00:07:47]  I tell you that story because in so many times we think that God left us.
[00:07:53]  No, we had the free will to choose to leave the covering of the Holy Spirit.
[00:08:00]  Yet God's promises, like you just read, he never leaves you, never forsakes you.
[00:08:06]  That's right.
[00:08:07]  And you know what's powerful, friends, is, you know, a lot of the times, and I'll tell you what's powerful is the love of Christ, but a lot of the times people say, you know, I'm fighting demons right now, but really we're fighting the consequences of our own actions.
[00:08:18]  And that was my thing for many times.
[00:08:19]  I talked a really good talk of being a Christian.
[00:08:22]  I wore a really beautiful mask, and we've had these transparent conversations where I said, I never wanted to get back into ministry because I said I was such a good mask wearer.
[00:08:31]  I said the right things.
[00:08:33]  I did the right things to present myself as a believer, but my heart was far from Christ.
[00:08:37]  And I think I told you, I think we had this conversation where I said, I believe I would have had that Matthew 7 moment, I believe, where Jesus would have looked at me face to face and said, depart from me, for I never knew you.
[00:08:45]  And that was a reality check.
[00:08:47]  Friends, just because someone has a platform or a stage or a position of power doesn't mean they're a perfect human being.
[00:08:53]  Friends, I posted on social media.
[00:08:55]  I said, you know, I had a conversation with a good friend where I said, I wish believers could have Christian influencers, people who have position in power, could have more transparent conversations with their flock, with their ministry, with the people that support their platform, with their churches.
[00:09:10]  And he said, I believe out of a pure heart.
[00:09:12]  He said, you know, they can do that, but they should just not expect to be invited anywhere to preach.
[00:09:17]  And I believe he said it out of a pure heart.
[00:09:18]  But at the end of the conversation we hung up, I was sitting there thinking about that comment.
[00:09:22]  I said, if being transparent with your flock, if being honest with the people who you're serving as a pastor, as a deacon, as an elder, as a social media influencer, removes your ability to go out and speak, then friends, let those doors close.
[00:09:36]  God is on the throne.
[00:09:37]  Be transparent with your flock.
[00:09:39]  Be open with the people who you are fighting alongside of.
[00:09:43]  You know, I posted that long social media post.
[00:09:45]  I don't know if you read it.
[00:09:46]  I did.
[00:09:46]  But I said, friends, nobody's perfect.
[00:09:47]  I've lied, cheat, stolen, coveted, lusted, all those things.
[00:09:52]  Every single day I look and I put my face onto the ground and I say, God, have mercy on me.
[00:09:58]  God, have mercy on me, a wretched sinner who you sent your only son to shed his blood for me.
[00:10:04]  And every day I'm humbled at the fact that the creator of everything says, yes, I'm going to show you grace.
[00:10:10]  Yes, I'm going to show you mercy, not by anything that I can do or deserve.
[00:10:13]  But Mondo, when I stepped into that reality of saying, you know what?
[00:10:17]  For the first time in 26 years, I'm going to rip this mask off of my face and stop pretending to be somebody else.
[00:10:24]  Stop acting like a Christian in my words and then not acting like a Christian in my actions.
[00:10:28]  When I ripped that mask off my face, Mondo, that is the first time in my life I felt like I could actually breathe.
[00:10:34]  I feel that we in the Christian community are great performers.
[00:10:42]  Yep.
[00:10:43]  We know how to perform.
[00:10:44]  Sadly, that's right.
[00:10:45]  And if you perform well, the doors of the church open up for you.
[00:10:49]  Invitations open up.
[00:10:51]  Authoring books open up because they see your performance and your performance is dealt with success.
[00:10:58]  And success is measured by the performance that you give.
[00:11:02]  Yet at the end of the day, you burn out.
[00:11:05]  I don't know.
[00:11:05]  I want to wear the mask for so long.
[00:11:07]  The thing about you and I is that we will never be clowns that perform for you.
[00:11:14]  No, and that's why we're so blunt and honest on this show.
[00:11:17]  I don't have time for performance.
[00:11:18]  That's right.
[00:11:18]  We're not going to be able to do that.
[00:11:19]  My life was either life or death to serve Jesus.
[00:11:24]  I had a shotgun in my back, a pistol in my chest, and another pistol in my forehead.
[00:11:30]  And they were asking me, are you really going to follow Jesus and leave the gang lifestyle?
[00:11:37]  I didn't have time to perform.
[00:11:40]  I don't have time to perform for you.
[00:11:42]  I don't have time to pretend.
[00:11:44]  You know why?
[00:11:45]  Because I have two children.
[00:11:46]  I have two kids.
[00:11:47]  I have a pair of twins that are watching my every move and every step I take on how I react is how they're going to react to this world.
[00:11:57]  If I'm a performer, then they're going to spend all of their life trying to be a performer and never be what God has called them to be because the season that we have entered right now has shifted into the world understanding that the king is getting ready to come back and there will be natural events that will change the world that the Bible says that even the very elect the people that know how to perform good in church will be deceived.
[00:12:27]  That's right.
[00:12:29]  What was it saying here, Mon, I want to read this.
[00:12:30]  I was talking about this earlier, Matthew chapter 7.
[00:12:32]  We're going to get back into this.
[00:12:34]  Matthew chapter 7, 21, it says, Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my father in heaven.
[00:12:44]  And like I said, Mondo, I lived many years of my life, 26, almost 27 years of my life, where I believe that if I would have died, I would have had that Matthew 7 moment where my heart was far from him until I had a radical encounter with the actual person of the Holy Spirit.
[00:12:56]  And I realized, hey, this isn't about me.
[00:12:59]  I'm a very small piece of this puzzle.
[00:13:01]  But friends, this is about the grand creator who wants everyone to go into heaven.
[00:13:05]  It says this right here.
[00:13:06]  On that day, many will say to me, Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, drive out demons in your name, do many miracles in your name?
[00:13:12]  Then I will announce to them, I never knew you.
[00:13:15]  Depart from me, you lawbreakers.
[00:13:17]  Other translations say, depart from me, you workers of iniquity.
[00:13:20]  Friend, the reason that we come on this broadcast and we tell you all these things, you may be living a lifestyle that is opposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
[00:13:28]  You may be living a lifestyle where you are a lukewarm Christian.
[00:13:32]  Friends, get off the fence and get back into the word of God.
[00:13:35]  Get back into intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
[00:13:37]  It's never too late.
[00:13:39]  You haven't gone too far.
[00:13:40]  You haven't done too much.
[00:13:41]  Get back into what God has for you, friend.
[00:13:44]  And I promise you, your life will never be the same.
[00:13:48]  You want to hear these words when you get to heaven.
[00:13:50]  Well done, my good and faithful servant.
[00:13:54]  Friends, it is not about how much you can do here on this earth, how hard you can work.
[00:13:59]  Because that was what I believe for many years of my life, that I had to work hard, that I had to do the right thing, say the right things.
[00:14:05]  But friends, there's nothing I can do to earn the love of God.
[00:14:08]  There's nothing I can do to earn the grace of God.
[00:14:10]  There's nothing I can do to earn his mercy.
[00:14:13]  I was working and toiling in vain.
[00:14:15]  I had to submit my will to his will.
[00:14:17]  I had to make myself subservant to him in every capacity and say, you're not just going to be king of 95% of my life.
[00:14:24]  You're going to be king of 100% of my life.
[00:14:26]  I won't move unless you tell me to move.
[00:14:28]  I won't act unless you tell me to act.
[00:14:30]  And friends, I promise you, that's where true freedom is found.
[00:14:33]  That is where true freedom is found in Jesus Christ.
[00:14:37]  I want you to call our number.
[00:14:38]  If you've never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, it's 1-888-988-1588 or go to jimbakershow.com, PTLNetwork.com.
[00:14:48]  We have places where you can submit a place for prayer.
[00:14:51]  If you want us to call you back, we would love to do that.
[00:14:53]  Friends, that's the most important decision you'll ever make.
[00:14:55]  It's the reason we come up here day after day and tell you about the gospel of Jesus Christ and tell you about revelation from a biblical standpoint, news from a biblical standpoint, is because we care about where you are eternally positioned.

=== Intimacy With Jesus (09:22) ===

[00:15:08]  We want you to go to heaven.
[00:15:09]  We want you to live forever in the kingdom of heaven.
[00:15:12]  But friends, that starts with a choice made here on earth.
[00:15:16]  We love you, friend.
[00:15:18]  We want you to be a part of Christ's family, not just with words, not just with good actions that look pretty, but with true humility, true humility, and with true servanthood in the kingdom of God.
[00:15:31]  Gonasco is the Greek word for new.
[00:15:35]  I never knew you.
[00:15:36]  The word new is the same word that was used when the angel came to Mary and Mary said, I never knew a man.
[00:15:44]  That's right, intimacy.
[00:15:46]  Intimacy.
[00:15:46]  That's right.
[00:15:47]  It's not the same word that Peter used when he denied Christ and says, I never knew him.
[00:15:52]  That's right.
[00:15:53]  It's not the same.
[00:15:54]  It's an intimacy, an intimate relationship.
[00:15:57]  So when he says, I never had an intimate relationship with you, depart from me.
[00:16:03]  Matthew chapter 7 was a word that God gave me in Scandinavia, Denmark, to be precise.
[00:16:12]  And he rebuked me because here I was preaching to 50,000 people, yet I didn't know him.
[00:16:19]  Here I'm laying hands on people, yet I never experienced him.
[00:16:23]  Here I am trying to tell people about God, yet I never had an intimate relationship with him.
[00:16:30]  And he rebuked me and said, you can keep what you have now, but it's not going to last forever.
[00:16:35]  Or you can go home, get to know me, and I will use you later in your life.
[00:16:40]  Meaning, get into an intimate relationship with me.
[00:16:44]  And then later in life, I'm going to use you.
[00:16:46]  Amen.
[00:16:47]  I believe we are in the season, Ricky, that God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus Himself, wants to have an intimate relationship with you because the things that are about to hit the earth, only a relationship with him is going to be able to withstand and endure some of the troubled things that are going to happen and don't be caught unaware.
[00:17:12]  That's right.
[00:17:12]  The Lord says that he'll give us a peace that surpasses our own understanding, but that comes through intimacy, friend.
[00:17:18]  That comes through being in relationship with him.
[00:17:22]  You need to have that relationship with him, friends.
[00:17:23]  That's the most important decision you will ever make.
[00:17:26]  Friends, we have Pastor Mark built with us.
[00:17:28]  Pastor, I want to just bring you in on this conversation before we get into revelation events and blood moons and things happening around the world.
[00:17:36]  You're a pastor of a church.
[00:17:37]  You have a flock underneath you.
[00:17:38]  You have a large online following.
[00:17:40]  How important is it for the believer to know Jesus and for Jesus to know the believer?
[00:17:47]  Phenomenal.
[00:17:48]  I just love what you guys have been sharing.
[00:17:50]  You know, I really believe your program is anointed by God.
[00:17:54]  And I am so thankful that the United States, the people, can listen to you too, because you really cut to the heart on all of this.
[00:18:03]  What I think is so important when he tells those people they're doing works of iniquity, the defining thing is this.
[00:18:12]  It's not about our works for God.
[00:18:16]  It's about his works that you allow through you.
[00:18:21]  So we're not doing any works that we do for the kingdom of God is actually iniquity because we are supposed to be allowing his works, which have the power to work through us.
[00:18:35]  It's like if you work for McDonald's and you're supposed to be the hamburger flipper, but you decide you like flowers or you want to work outside and make it all pretty.
[00:18:44]  That's not what you're supposed to be doing.
[00:18:46]  We need to find out from God what he's enlisted us to do and do that, not what we think is good for him.
[00:18:53]  Amen.
[00:18:54]  That's a good word.
[00:18:54]  Hey, we're going to have you on just to preach.
[00:18:56]  Come on, we need to have Pastor Mark.
[00:18:58]  I know we're always talking about, you know, current events, revelation events, the blood moves.
[00:19:01]  We need to have you here just to preach, Pastor.
[00:19:04]  But, you know, let's talk into that because people really want to know, are these frequent events, these natural disasters happening around the world, are these signs of biblical prophecy?
[00:19:14]  We've seen both sides of the aisle because we do a fair amount of study.
[00:19:17]  We probably put 30, 40 hours of studying in a week just to ensure we're prepared for you so that we can bring you good biblical information.
[00:19:23]  A lot of people on one side of the aisle say, hey, these are just events that happened.
[00:19:28]  Every generation has seen them.
[00:19:29]  And the other half are saying, yes, these are prophetic and biblical events.
[00:19:32]  I want to know your perspective.
[00:19:33]  What we're seeing around the world, are these just coincidences or are these prophetic, significant events?
[00:19:40]  Fantastic question.
[00:19:43]  And this is where we have to look at things from God's perspective, not our perspective.
[00:19:49]  And I believe in one sense, they are both.
[00:19:53]  For example, if God says, do not stick your hand in a moving blender, and then we go and stick our hand in the blender, can we blame God that something happened?
[00:20:05]  Absolutely not.
[00:20:07]  And so, yes, it's prophetic.
[00:20:09]  God says, look, this is going to happen if you behave this way.
[00:20:12]  And then when we behave this way and that happens, we can't get mad at God.
[00:20:18]  But God always judges, but it can be a judgment for good or a judgment for bad.
[00:20:24]  But let me give you an example for, let's say, the fires in California.
[00:20:30]  They were both prophetic as well as man-made.
[00:20:36]  Most people don't realize many of those wildfires in California were arson.
[00:20:41]  That tells you it was man-made.
[00:20:44]  And a lot of the problems was because of man's stupid actions.
[00:20:49]  For example, Mayor Karen Bass said he would never leave the area, but she leaves the area, goes all the way to Ghana instead of mobilizing the fire department.
[00:21:01]  She was given a warning a month earlier that this was happening.
[00:21:05]  But what happens?
[00:21:07]  Their fire budget gets cut by $17 million.
[00:21:12]  And guess what?
[00:21:13]  There was over a hundred fire trucks that were broken down that they didn't fix.
[00:21:18]  Then they have this giant water reservoir that is empty.
[00:21:22]  So it's because of the stupid man-made decisions and man-made arson that these fires were caused.
[00:21:32]  But listen to this verse.
[00:21:34]  This verse here is one of the most amazing.
[00:21:38]  And you mentioned my book, decoding the prophet Jeremiah, which is phenomenal in getting people to realize the days we are in.
[00:21:48]  Just like the America at war, the center 2024 through 2026 is right now.
[00:21:55]  It's 2025.
[00:21:56]  I said all these things were coming, both natural disasters, God-made disasters.
[00:22:01]  Listen to Jeremiah.
[00:22:04]  This is chapter 21.
[00:22:06]  And we have to understand events repeat themselves.
[00:22:10]  History repeats itself.
[00:22:13]  And think about where California is politically.
[00:22:17]  God says in Jeremiah 21, 12, thus says the Lord, will you please execute justice and deliver from the hand of the oppressor those who've been robbed, lest my wrath go forth like fire and burn with no one to quench it because of your evil deeds.
[00:22:38]  You know, it doesn't matter if you're good or bad.
[00:22:41]  The Sodom and Gomorrah was going to destroy both the good and the bad.
[00:22:45]  We know the rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous.
[00:22:48]  The sun falls on the righteous and the unrighteous.
[00:22:52]  But look at this.
[00:22:53]  It goes on in verse 13.
[00:22:54]  It says, Behold, I'm against you, O inhabitant of the valley, declares the Lord.
[00:23:00]  And it says, I'm going to punish you according to the fruit of your deeds, declares the Lord.
[00:23:06]  Now listen to this.
[00:23:07]  I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.
[00:23:13]  And so we can see from the word of the Lord, in one sense, he is speaking.
[00:23:18]  Oh my goodness, that reminds me.
[00:23:20]  This is the Hebrew year 5785.
[00:23:25]  What does that mean prophetically?
[00:23:28]  85 is the Hebrew word, pay, which means mouth.
[00:23:33]  God is speaking.
[00:23:35]  But the 700 of the 785 means exhausted.
[00:23:41]  And many people are trying to say prophetically what this year means, and I think they're completely wrong.
[00:23:46]  What it means is a fulfillment of Amos 8, 11, and 12, where God says there's going to be a famine in the land, not of bread, not of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
[00:23:58]  So I really believe this year, God is going to be speaking loudly.
[00:24:03]  People are going to be running to and fro trying to hear it, but they're not going to hear it.
[00:24:08]  Because like it says prophetically, God is going to shut the eyes, shut the ears.

=== Ceasefire and Hostages (09:51) ===

[00:24:12]  So even though they see and hear, they don't get it.
[00:24:15]  And that's why they need to be watching your program and getting prepared because I believe you are going to be one of the voices that people can come to.
[00:24:23]  Amen.
[00:24:24]  We appreciate that.
[00:24:25]  You know, I want to ask you your opinion on, especially, you know, this sudden ceasefire negotiations and the release of some of the hostages that have been held by Hamas.
[00:24:34]  Let's get your opinion on that and see if, you know, what you think about what's happening over there in Israel right now.
[00:24:39]  It is absolutely, absolutely ridiculous.
[00:24:44]  Now, we feel for all of the people that got their families back.
[00:24:50]  For them, it was wonderful.
[00:24:52]  Everything is always a two-edged sword.
[00:24:55]  What happened, though, over 1,600 terrorists have been let loose into the West Bank.
[00:25:06]  This is where Judea and Samaria are and East Jerusalem.
[00:25:10]  They weren't all sent just to Gaza.
[00:25:12]  Some of them were mass terrorists.
[00:25:15]  Okay, so this is absolutely horrible.
[00:25:18]  It may be horrible for Netanyahu because some people like Ben Gabir have left the government and Smolter Tbe as well.
[00:25:25]  This very well could take Israel down.
[00:25:28]  But what Hamas is doing, Hamas is now the, I saw videos of hundreds and hundreds of semi-trucks bringing humanitarian aid into Israel through Gaza or into Gaza.
[00:25:41]  But the problem is Hamas will kill any of their citizens who try to get access to the food.
[00:25:48]  And many of these trucks are fuel trucks that they're going to be able to use to rebuild.
[00:25:54]  They now have 600 extra terrorists to help them rebuild.
[00:25:58]  And what Hamas does, if the people want food, they have to enlist their children into Hamas.
[00:26:06]  So what are they supposed to do?
[00:26:07]  They can't get the food if they get shot.
[00:26:09]  They have to pay exorbitant prices or they have to donate their children to the Hamas terrorists in order to get food.
[00:26:18]  So this really has opened up a hellhole for lack of better reasons.
[00:26:24]  And now Israel, you know, the big political thing is Netanyahu said he did not end the war.
[00:26:30]  So this is the ceasefire to get some hostages back.
[00:26:33]  But I can tell you right now, and I can go to this more later if you want to bring it up, the big issue is going to be this June.
[00:26:44]  This June, the United Nations is meeting for the entire purpose of dividing the land of Israel.
[00:26:53]  And that is going to be the big issue of where Trump and the United States land on that issue.
[00:27:01]  Wow.
[00:27:02]  Well, you got to go into that.
[00:27:05]  I think that one of the most important, one of the most important questions of the hour right now is what will happen to Israel in the next few weeks.
[00:27:17]  Because if America supports the idea of having a two-state solution, I'm afraid, Pastor Mark, that America is going to reap the repercussions of that when you touch Israel.
[00:27:32]  And as we're speaking right now, a lot of the scientists are warning of two major events that will change the face of America.
[00:27:42]  One, there will be an earthquake that will hit in the mid-America called the New Madrid that has the potential to split America into two.
[00:27:52]  Number two, they're watching for a super volcano in the Cascadia that they're expecting to erupt the year of 2025.
[00:28:07]  If the negotiations of June take place, talk about it some more because what will America do?
[00:28:15]  Will America force the issue of a two-state solution and thinking that's a way to bring peace in the Middle East?
[00:28:25]  You are right on target.
[00:28:28]  Here's the situation.
[00:28:30]  Now, I want to start with saying this.
[00:28:32]  The Lord raised up Nebuchadnezzar, okay, to bring judgment on Israel because of their disobedience.
[00:28:42]  Now, I'm not a pro-Trumper and I'm not against Trumper.
[00:28:47]  I'm a pro-God, okay?
[00:28:49]  And all I know is if Trump, out of a desire for a Nobel Peace Prize, or, you know, I don't know his heart.
[00:28:58]  I'm not judging his heart.
[00:28:59]  But all I'm saying is if he ends up bringing a two-state solution and being for it, all hell is going to break loose in the United States.
[00:29:10]  We find this in Joel 2.
[00:29:12]  God said he's going to come against every nation that tries to divide the land of Israel.
[00:29:17]  But the big one is Zechariah 1.
[00:29:20]  Zechariah 1 talks about the red horse of Revelation.
[00:29:24]  And in Zechariah 1, he sees a vision of these four horns.
[00:29:29]  And he asks the ministering angels, what are these four horns?
[00:29:34]  And they say, these four horns are the four entities whose sole purpose is to divide the land of Israel.
[00:29:42]  Well, guess what?
[00:29:43]  That prophetically happened in 2001.
[00:29:46]  It's called the Quartet, whose sole purpose was to divide the land of Israel.
[00:29:53]  And that's the UN, the EU, Russia, and the United States.
[00:29:58]  And then we see these four carpenters coming to cut off the horns of the altar.
[00:30:05]  And what do we see?
[00:30:06]  Zechariah says, what are they coming for?
[00:30:08]  And God says, these four are coming to bring terror to those entities who are trying to divide the land of Israel.
[00:30:18]  And then the very next chapter talks about Ezekiel measuring the new Jerusalem or the Jerusalem, which is in Revelation where John measures Jerusalem.
[00:30:27]  So I really see that God has risen up Trump.
[00:30:31]  He has spared his life.
[00:30:33]  But if it is for good or bad, we won't know until, you know, maybe next month or the next few weeks, but definitely by June.
[00:30:42]  Wow.
[00:30:43]  So with that comment, I want to go into your book, America at War 2024 to 2026.
[00:30:48]  What is the message behind this title?
[00:30:51]  And when you wrote this, I just want to ask your opinion.
[00:30:54]  Did you have any, you know, inkling of who would be the president during this time period?
[00:31:00]  Oh, absolutely not.
[00:31:02]  I have no idea.
[00:31:04]  I know it could have gone either way.
[00:31:07]  But in the book, I'll even tell your listeners why they have to get this book because 2025 is right in the gut of this book.
[00:31:16]  And I said over a year ago, Iran would attack Israel in early April, and that happened.
[00:31:23]  I said in the book, we would see terrorist attacks in the United States before the inauguration.
[00:31:30]  And that's happened with the New Orleans and Las Vegas.
[00:31:34]  And then I line out all the other things that will be happening this year here in the United States.
[00:31:40]  And we're going to be seeing all kinds of civil wars.
[00:31:44]  You're going to see religious wars between the pro-Palestinians and the pro-Israelis.
[00:31:50]  You're going to see political wars where the left isn't done with the right, and they're going to do everything they can to disrupt everything.
[00:31:59]  You're going to see civil wars between the anti-immigrants and the immigrants, especially with Trump's new order on the border.
[00:32:08]  Okay.
[00:32:09]  And then I believe we are going to see terrorist attacks like we've never seen before on the infrastructure, the power grid.
[00:32:17]  And I really believe we're going to see terrorist attacks even more so on the homeland throughout this year.
[00:32:23]  So in one sense, I'm glad we have Trump who has a backbone rather than Harris.
[00:32:28]  But at the same time, if all of this gets to his head, just like you were talking about the spiritual leaders who get so high up and lift it up and then they crash, this could happen to a political person as well.
[00:32:41]  And so here Trump is lifted up, but we have to keep him humble, do everything we can.
[00:32:46]  But he could turn on a dime and end up forsaking the nation of Israel, even though all of its cabinets are pro-Israel.
[00:32:54]  He's the one in charge.
[00:32:55]  And we will see where he's leaning very soon.
[00:33:00]  Interesting perspective.
[00:33:01]  Friends, I want you to get this book, America at War 2024 to 2026.
[00:33:05]  It's a large print, hardback text book, quality product.
[00:33:09]  Friends, it has full color on pretty much almost every page.
[00:33:12]  It's loaded with charts, high-quality images.
[00:33:15]  I will say this book is a must-have.
[00:33:17]  We have it here.
[00:33:18]  It has been gone through many, many times.
[00:33:20]  You'll see the timing of major biblical and important historical events.
[00:33:24]  And friends, I want you to call right now, order your copy, go support this ministry, because Pastor Mark Biltz is doing a great work.
[00:33:30]  But Mondo, we've dissected this book many times, and Pastor Jim Baker, our father, loves this book as well.
[00:33:36]  Yeah, and by the way, I want to tell you that if you go to the website, there's a special limited time only offer for this book.
[00:33:43]  It is a must-read.
[00:33:45]  It is must-have.

=== Eclipses and Biblical Prophecy (05:44) ===

[00:33:46]  And get your Bible out while you get this book because you want to follow the scripture on a lot of the biblical calendar events that are taking place.
[00:33:54]  Most people miss the Bible prophecy because they follow the Gregorian calendar and you're going to miss God.
[00:34:02]  But if you follow and align into the biblical calendar, you're going to understand the Bible a lot better and Bible prophecy, especially as events develop each and every single day right now.
[00:34:14]  I feel like we have propelled into a moment of Bible prophecy like never before.
[00:34:21]  And I can tell you that when you order this book, you're going to learn a lot of great lessons about the signs in the heavens.
[00:34:28]  And there's a lot of signs happening, Ricky, that are signaling something very crucial and very important.
[00:34:35]  But I also do believe what Pastor said at the beginning.
[00:34:38]  And if I was you, I would go back and read the book of Amos because we are living in a famine of the gospel like we've never experienced in America.
[00:34:48]  It is amazing that there is more gospel being preached in Iran and China than there is in America.
[00:34:55]  That ought to be a sign of the times.
[00:34:58]  That's right.
[00:34:58]  That's right.
[00:34:59]  Pastor Mark Bilts, you know, we couldn't bring you on the show without talking about what's happening in the heavenlies, what's happening out there in outer space.
[00:35:06]  I want to ask you a question.
[00:35:07]  We've seen a solar eclipse April 8th, 2024.
[00:35:10]  We saw a lot of prophetic events line up with it.
[00:35:13]  But that April 8th, 2024 solar eclipse coincides with Nissan 1 on the Hebrew calendar.
[00:35:20]  I want to ask you this.
[00:35:20]  Does this have historical significance?
[00:35:23]  You know, what historical significance does this date hold?
[00:35:26]  And should we really be paying attention to more solar eclipses and blood moons that are to come?
[00:35:31]  Absolutely.
[00:35:33]  And it goes back to what you were saying.
[00:35:36]  The church is on the wrong calendar.
[00:35:39]  The Gregorian calendar is great scientifically, but it's based only on the sun.
[00:35:45]  The Islamic calendar is great scientifically, but it's based only on the moon.
[00:35:52]  Just like you guys and myself, if we're to meet, we have to agree on whose time zone, or we're not going to meet each other.
[00:36:00]  It's the same thing.
[00:36:01]  In Genesis 1:14, God said he created the sun and the moon for his calendar.
[00:36:07]  And he said, let them both determine those appointed times.
[00:36:11]  This is why Israel, their calendar, is based on the new moon, because only on the new moon can you have a solar eclipse.
[00:36:22]  This is why Passover and tabernacles are on a full moon, because you can only have a total lunar eclipse on a full moon.
[00:36:30]  And so when we see eclipses on the holy days, that's where we know God is trying to speak to us.
[00:36:38]  Now, I also go through NASA's website, and they have over 5,000 eclipses historically and in the future, 5,000 years, 5,000 years of eclipses.
[00:36:52]  And they mathematically say you can only have one total solar eclipse on average every year and a half.
[00:36:59]  You can only have one total lunar eclipse every year and a half.
[00:37:03]  That's the math.
[00:37:04]  That's the science.
[00:37:06]  But here we have like four total lunar eclipses in a year and a half and four solar eclipses in a year and a half.
[00:37:15]  God is speaking, but we're not listening.
[00:37:19]  And so to have a total solar eclipse on Nisan 1, that is the very day that Moses' tabernacle was inaugurated.
[00:37:29]  It's also the very day the three days of darkness took place in the original plagues.
[00:37:36]  We had one April 8th last year, and there's another one this year on Nisan 1.
[00:37:42]  But if you're on the Gregorian calendar, you don't see the significance, the connection.
[00:37:47]  It's only on the biblical calendar.
[00:37:50]  And not only do we have a solar eclipse on Nisan 1 last year and this year, we also had a solar eclipse on Rosh Hashanah last year, and we have another one on Rosh Hashanah this year.
[00:38:04]  So to have these two years in a row, the solar eclipses, is incredible.
[00:38:09]  But then you have to add the lunar eclipses.
[00:38:13]  We're having a lunar eclipse on Purim this year.
[00:38:18]  And we had one last year.
[00:38:20]  And now we have a total, a lunar eclipse on Purim.
[00:38:24]  And then we also have one in the month of Elul 15, which is the month of repentance right before the solar eclipse in Tishri.
[00:38:35]  So, and what's the most amazing is unless you know your Bible deeply, every tribe is associated with a month, 12 months, 12 tribes.
[00:38:47]  The series of total solar and lunar eclipses happening over the next two years are in the same order as the tribes of Israel went to war for the promised land.
[00:39:01]  You know, I want to read this right here.
[00:39:03]  It's Genesis chapter 1, verse 14.
[00:39:05]  It says, Then God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate day from night, and they will serve as signs for seasons, for days, and for years.

=== New Covenant Feasts (08:35) ===

[00:39:18]  That's right here in Genesis chapter 1, verse 14.
[00:39:21]  So I want to ask you this question, Pastor Mark Bilts, because we've interviewed a lot of people over the last few years.
[00:39:26]  You know, it's been decades of interviewing from Pastor Jim Baker, the founder of this ministry, the PTL television network.
[00:39:32]  We've heard some pastors, whether it be on this broadcast or they preach it within their own church, that it's not important for believers, especially in the United States, especially in the new covenant, to have to honor the feasts and have to really go off of the Hebrew calendar because obviously they say we're in a new covenant and we live in America.
[00:39:52]  What's your opinion on this?
[00:39:53]  And if that's not the case, then where can a believer go to start really understanding what all this means?
[00:39:59]  Because if someone's watching the show and they don't know the Hebrew calendar, how do they know what Nisan is and Nisan 1?
[00:40:05]  Where can they go to find some resources to really understand and not just hear what you're talking about?
[00:40:11]  Boy, those people that say that have, I don't mean for them to take it personal, but that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
[00:40:18]  When you look at Genesis 1:14, what day of creation did that happen?
[00:40:24]  Oh, yeah.
[00:40:25]  It was on the fourth day.
[00:40:26]  The fourth day, that's right.
[00:40:28]  Well, guess what?
[00:40:28]  Man wasn't created until the sixth day.
[00:40:30]  God thought the calendar was so vital, he created it two days before he even created us.
[00:40:36]  And so it has nothing to do with old covenant, new covenant.
[00:40:40]  It has to do with knowing what God is trying to tell us.
[00:40:44]  There was no old covenant, new covenant in Genesis.
[00:40:48]  The old covenant didn't start until Moses, several thousand years later.
[00:40:53]  So we're talking here at creation.
[00:40:56]  You talked about its personal intimacy.
[00:40:59]  That's what God wants.
[00:41:01]  The only way he can be personally intimate with someone is to get on their calendar.
[00:41:06]  And that's the first thing in the Exodus.
[00:41:09]  You know, when you think about the Ten Commandments, do you know what the very first commandment was that God gave Israel?
[00:41:18]  It was in Egypt before they even entered the promised land and the new covenant, and it was to get on my calendar.
[00:41:25]  That's what it was.
[00:41:27]  And so if they want to get on God's calendar, they can go to our website.
[00:41:33]  We create every year a biblical calendar that even tells you what biblical events happened on what day.
[00:41:40]  Like the plagues, for example, most people don't know, but I have the exact timing down.
[00:41:45]  All the plagues happened within six weeks.
[00:41:48]  Wow.
[00:41:49]  And they all happened right, you know, before Passover.
[00:41:52]  Give you an example: the Gregorian calendar.
[00:41:55]  Here, people, I mean, let me ask you, Ricky Mondo, what would your wife say if you told her you wanted to start keeping your anniversary on the Islamic calendar?
[00:42:06]  She might say, You remember our anniversary?
[00:42:08]  No, I'm just kidding.
[00:42:08]  That's a joke.
[00:42:09]  Bad joke, bad joke, bad joke.
[00:42:11]  You know, honestly, yeah, there'd probably be enough people in the home.
[00:42:15]  Exactly.
[00:42:16]  Well, you know, what's amazing, God told us to remember the day he died and never to forget it.
[00:42:24]  All right?
[00:42:25]  Well, the church, because they're on the pagan calendar, they will celebrate the resurrection a month before he even died.
[00:42:34]  Now, how does that make any sense?
[00:42:35]  Is it because they're on their own calendar?
[00:42:37]  The church was anti-Semitic and they wanted anything but God's calendar.
[00:42:42]  All of the anti-Semitism back during Hanukkah and in the Lord's Day, they knew they had to destroy the personal intimacy with God, which is why they wanted to get them off God's calendar.
[00:42:56]  I mean, if you're in sales and you have your daytimer, your appointment book at a restaurant, you get and go to the restroom, and then your competitor was sitting next to you unaware, and he comes in and erases one of your appointments, and he sees it and he goes to that appointment instead.
[00:43:13]  You didn't know?
[00:43:14]  Well, what does it say about the Antichrist?
[00:43:16]  His goal is to change the times.
[00:43:19]  That's what he wants to do.
[00:43:20]  So you can't meet with God.
[00:43:22]  I'm sure many of your people believe in divine appointments.
[00:43:26]  Well, guess what?
[00:43:27]  They're scheduled.
[00:43:28]  And if you're there at the schedule, you will be able to have that intimacy with God.
[00:43:34]  Wow.
[00:43:35]  That's a really good way to point.
[00:43:37]  There are divine appointments in times where we can meet God and really, like he said, become more intimate with God.
[00:43:44]  Very, very good point.
[00:43:45]  So I'm going to ask you this question then.
[00:43:47]  In what ways do you connect the ancient adversary Amalek to modern-day radical Islamic groups?
[00:43:53]  And what are the anticipated conflicts involved with these entities between 2024 and 2026?
[00:43:59]  So now we understand.
[00:44:00]  We're going to get on God's calendar.
[00:44:02]  So now we need to understand what's happening between these entities that were existing thousands of years ago.
[00:44:07]  And there's some modern day things that seem to be lining up right with them.
[00:44:12]  Man, you guys have the best show in the world.
[00:44:15]  Everyone needs to watch your show.
[00:44:18]  Here's the whole thing.
[00:44:19]  In Exodus 17, God said he's going to have a war with Amalek in every generation.
[00:44:26]  It's not going to stop.
[00:44:28]  Amalek itself may be destroyed, but not the spirit of Amalek.
[00:44:32]  That's what he was talking about.
[00:44:34]  Last century, Amalek was Germany and Hitler.
[00:44:38]  Who is the Amalek of our generation?
[00:44:41]  It's Iran.
[00:44:42]  Now, the very name Amalek means a people who chop off heads.
[00:44:48]  That's what it means.
[00:44:49]  And that's exactly what Hamas did on October 7th.
[00:44:54]  Now, I know people in the Knesset, and I've met people in the Knesset in Israel.
[00:44:58]  One of them was in charge of the military.
[00:45:01]  And I showed him in my book, America at War, how I said Israel would be attacked by Iran in April.
[00:45:11]  He was blown away.
[00:45:12]  He said, how do you know that?
[00:45:13]  You know, we never knew that.
[00:45:15]  You know, I'm in charge of the military.
[00:45:16]  How did you know that?
[00:45:17]  I said, it's in your Bible.
[00:45:19]  It's in the book of Daniel, chapter 10.
[00:45:22]  But see, Christians, when they read Daniel chapter 10, it doesn't make sense because they're not on God's calendar.
[00:45:28]  Daniel is having a vision.
[00:45:31]  Well, first he's praying.
[00:45:33]  He's praying and fasting for three weeks.
[00:45:36]  And it says in the first month, well, it's not January.
[00:45:40]  The first month is Nisan.
[00:45:42]  And he fasts for 21 days or three weeks.
[00:45:46]  Okay, that's seven times three, multiple of seven.
[00:45:49]  And then the angel appears to him on the 24th day of the first month.
[00:45:53]  That's 24th of Nisan.
[00:45:56]  This is right through Passover.
[00:45:58]  He's fasting through Passover and he's praying because he's in Babylon.
[00:46:02]  He's not in Israel.
[00:46:03]  The temple's been destroyed anyway.
[00:46:06]  And this angel appears to him and says, I've been trying to get to you from the very first day, but the prince of Persia I've been fighting with.
[00:46:17]  Well, who's the prince of Persia?
[00:46:19]  Okay, that's Iran.
[00:46:21]  And then he says, Michael the archangel, your national prince, came and took over so I could come and meet with you.
[00:46:30]  And so here we see a big battle with Iran happening in the month of Nisan.
[00:46:37]  And it says in Daniel 10, the vision you saw was entirely not for your day.
[00:46:44]  It was entirely for our day, for the end of days.
[00:46:47]  So I knew that prophecy, when I'm reading it, is for our time.
[00:46:51]  And I knew the battle took place with Iran.
[00:46:55]  And then the angel leaves and says, I got to go back and fight Iran some more or Persia.
[00:47:01]  Well, that happened, started on Nisan 3.
[00:47:05]  You take 3 and 21 is 24.
[00:47:07]  Well, guess what?
[00:47:08]  Nisan 3 was the very day that Iran announced that they're going to attack Israel.
[00:47:14]  And that happened the following three days later.
[00:47:18]  And so that's how I knew it was going to happen because it's so important to know the times and seasons.
[00:47:24]  I ask Christians, are we supposed to know the time and seasons?
[00:47:27]  And they go, yes.
[00:47:28]  I say, what time is it?
[00:47:29]  Oh, I don't know.
[00:47:31]  What season is it?
[00:47:32]  Oh, I don't know.
[00:47:33]  Well, Ecclesiastes, you know, it says there's a time and season for everything to be born, to die, a time to plant, a time to pluck.

=== Need Monthly Support (03:01) ===

[00:47:42]  But the church is plucking at planning time and planning at plucking time because they don't know what time it is.
[00:47:48]  And so there's a time for peace and war.
[00:47:50]  This is what we need to know.
[00:47:52]  I told you right now, we are entering an America at war is all about we are now entering a three-year phase of war.
[00:48:01]  And that hopefully it's the final phase of war against Amalek.
[00:48:05]  And so that's what we need to know.
[00:48:07]  If we find a peace agreement that is made during this time of war, we know that's a false peace.
[00:48:14]  Okay, this is so good.
[00:48:16]  I got to ask you about a few hours ago, there was a development, and I'm going to ask you this question about this development about the Cyrus Accord that Iran is trying to get a hold of President Trump to negotiate this deal.
[00:48:32]  But before we go into that, we need your help.
[00:48:35]  We need your support this month.

[00:49:12]  But your monthly support is really what's helping us get to the finish line and start this year with no debt.
[00:49:20]  The debt that we have been carrying is a debt that we accumulated from all the attacks that we went through during 2020.
[00:49:29]  And we're coming out of it.

[00:49:44]  But to know that in the middle of a famine that is happening in the American church, we will be there to preach the gospel.

[00:49:53]  But we can't do it alone.

[00:50:14]  Amen.
[00:50:15]  Let me get back to that question.
[00:50:18]  What are you hearing about the Cyrus Accord that Iran is trying to negotiate with President Trump?

=== False Peace Accord (03:29) ===

[00:50:27]  What would this signal and why would this be important?
[00:50:31]  Okay, well, I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.
[00:50:35]  I've been, you know, my time zone is different than yours.
[00:50:39]  And I would have been preparing for this.
[00:50:41]  I haven't had a time to check any of the news today.
[00:50:43]  What have you heard?
[00:50:44]  What does it involve?
[00:50:45]  And then I can respond.
[00:50:46]  No, absolutely.
[00:50:47]  What it involves is that they're calling on President Trump to establish the Cyrus Accord, which will bring an attention to understanding how this will create what you mentioned could be a false peace between Israel and Iran.
[00:51:07]  Well, see, that's what I assumed it meant.
[00:51:09]  And that is huge.
[00:51:11]  To have a false peace.
[00:51:14]  You know, people don't understand the difference between true peace and a false peace.
[00:51:20]  But the Bible, if you know the biblical Hebrew and you know the ancient picture language, it tells you exactly what the difference is.
[00:51:30]  Let me start with this: What's the difference between a peacekeeper and a peacemaker?
[00:51:37]  The difference between a peacekeeper and a peacekeeper.
[00:51:39]  Well, a peacekeeper is obviously keeping the peace, and they're probably doing their job to defend the peace.
[00:51:43]  A peacemaker typically is probably swinging a sword exactly.
[00:51:49]  They're the one that resolves the issue.
[00:51:52]  One of them is a person trying to keep two people from killing each other.
[00:51:55]  The other one is someone who can get the two people to get a law.
[00:52:00]  Persia will never make true peace with Israel.
[00:52:04]  And the word shalom that I know you are very familiar with in the ancient Hebrew, the first letter, which is the Shin, actually means to consume and destroy.
[00:52:17]  What does that have to do with peace?
[00:52:19]  The next letter, the L, in Hebrew is the Lamed, and it meant authority.
[00:52:23]  It was a shepherd's staff.
[00:52:25]  Then you have the O sound in Hebrew is a vab, which is a nail that connects two things together.
[00:52:33]  And then the mem in the ancient Hebrew was waters of chaos, like a flood or a hurricane.
[00:52:40]  So what shalom biblically really means is to destroy the authority that's connected to the chaos.
[00:52:49]  It's not pacifying it, it's not feeding the alligator.
[00:52:52]  If you're going to have true peace, you're going to destroy the authority that's connected to the chaos.
[00:52:58]  That's what shalom means.
[00:53:00]  You know, let me read this because this is a letter that was sent on January 20th, 2025.
[00:53:07]  And it says, Dear Mr. President, congratulations on your inauguration during your first term.
[00:53:13]  You stood boldly and encouragedly and courageously with the Iranian people.
[00:53:20]  I want to go down the list here because it says this.
[00:53:23]  Mr. President, you have the opportunity to go beyond the groundbreaking Abraham Accords by helping to facilitate the Cyrus Accords, uniting Israel, Arab nations, and a free Iran.

=== Thanking Our Partners (04:47) ===

[00:53:38]  You can transform the Middle East and the world.
[00:53:42]  And the letter keeps going on, but pretty much it's saying they want peace between Israel and Iran.
[00:53:48]  And the only one that can make that work will be someone like President Trump.
[00:53:53]  I think we are living in a time that is so prophetic and so divine by God that when you see nations arise and the Bible talks about when they cry out peace and safety, you better watch.
[00:54:10]  That's right.
[00:54:11]  We are living in a moment that the church must be awake, a time that the church needs to understand.
[00:54:18]  And I hope you watching as our viewers and partners of this ministry, the importance of this season that we're in right now, very few are preaching the total gospel of Jesus Christ.
[00:54:31]  And I want you to know we only try to bring to you, and I say try because it's a lot of work trying to find people that are doing the right thing, are teaching the right thing.
[00:54:43]  We may not always agree in a lot of the issues of concerning the tribulation and the free and the timeline.
[00:54:53]  It doesn't matter.
[00:54:54]  Can we agree to preach the full gospel of Jesus Christ?
[00:54:58]  Do we believe that Jesus is the king?
[00:55:01]  That's what I want to be concerned about as well.
[00:55:03]  But I want you to know, America a war is the book that you need to have today.
[00:55:09]  Call us, 1-888-988.
[00:55:12]  Order your book 1-588 and get it in your hands as soon as possible.
[00:55:17]  Amen.

[00:55:34]  America at War 2024 to 2026.
[00:55:39]  Pastor Mark Bilts, I want you to be back on another broadcast.
[00:55:42]  Would you be willing to do a second show with us?
[00:55:44]  I'd do it with you guys anytime.
[00:55:46]  You're the fan.
[00:55:47]  All right.
[00:55:47]  Well, hey, we're going to do another show.
[00:55:48]  I want to thank you for being on the broadcast with us today.
[00:55:50]  What an honor it is to have you here.
[00:55:52]  We're going to dive into some more topics and talk about some more things from a biblical perspective.
[00:55:58]  Friends, the PTL Television Network is dedicated to ensuring that the gospel is never censored and that we give that same ability to our programmers.
[00:56:06]  If you go on the PTL app, whether it's on your iOS device, your Android device, you can pull it up on a smart TV, a Roku app, Apple TV.
[00:56:13]  We want to ensure that everybody who gets platformed on the PTL television network can bring the fullness of the gospel to you, where the prophet can prophesy without worrying if they're going to get turned off, where the pastor can preach his sermon without worrying if he's going to be cut from the air.
[00:56:29]  We want to provide a Christian platform that is uncensored for the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
[00:56:36]  And friends, that's what we've been able to do.
[00:56:38]  And that's come under a significant amount of attack.
[00:56:40]  You know, Mondo, when we decided, hey, we're going to make this uncensored, unfiltered, we're going to let the fullness of the gospel go out.
[00:56:46]  If the Lord gave the word, we're going to let it go out.
[00:56:48]  I didn't realize it would come with so much attack, not just from the outside world, but from the inside Christian world as well.
[00:56:54]  But friends, we're going to continue to stand by our word, that this is an uncensored platform that people can come and share the full message without having to water it down of what it is the Lord has showed them through scripture or what it is that he showed them through a biblical lens of prophecy as well.
[00:57:11]  What we encourage you to do is be like the Breans in the New Testament.
[00:57:14]  Friends, they accepted the message with gladness and they went back to the scriptures to ensure what they were being taught was good.
[00:57:22]  Friends, we are presenting you information.
[00:57:24]  Like Mondo said, sometimes we don't agree with every theological take that comes across this desk.
[00:57:28]  But friends, it's up to you to take everything into account to then go back to the word of God and make an educated biblical decision on what it is that you're going to believe, friend.
[00:57:40]  I believe that there are pastors like Pastor Mark Biltz out there that is spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ and letting us know, hey, there's a king coming.
[00:57:49]  We better be prepared.
[00:57:50]  Pastor Mark, again, I want to thank you for being on the broadcast and to our wonderful partners.
[00:57:54]  I want to thank you for supporting.
[00:57:56]  It is your support that allows us to continue to preach the gospel around the world.
