Signs of the Coming Storm 00:15:28
Welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show.
Today, Pastor Steve Ciccolani discusses biblical prophecy and America's future.
Please welcome your co-hosts, Reverend Mondo de la Vega and Pastor Ricky Baker.
And here's your host, Pastor Jim Baker.
I'm the host.
I can't believe it.
That's still going on.
Welcome to the show, and we have an amazing guest, Pastor Steve Cikalani.
That's right.
You said it perfect.
Amen.
He's a pastor of Discovery Church.
His program look up with Steve Ciccolone airs on PTL Network.
That's right.
It absolutely does.
It's Tuesdays at 10 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
He's two times a month, two times a week.
That's right.
That's right.
You must like him.
He knows what he's talking about.
Steve, are you there?
What are you doing in Australia?
Well, actually, we were in Thailand right during that earthquake.
So I think we're going to talk about that a little bit later.
And then I was in Malaysia for ministry at a Presbyterian church.
Thank God they're open to Bible prophecy.
And then, of course, I have a church here in Australia that I still oversee, even though I live in America.
So we've come to just take care of the church here, and then we're heading back within hours.
I'm so interested in your words of prophecy because I believe we are in times.
And I wanted to see how you feel about that.
What's going on?
What about earthquakes and all these other things that we see coming?
And you talk about a global storm is coming.
Well, the earthquake was very interesting.
So I don't know if you want to start with that, but that's one of the signs in Matthew 24.
It's kind of a pre-sign.
And that lets us know that, number one, I think it lets us know something really basic, which is the cities are not safe.
So right now they're having a big problem with people living in condos and apartments.
They don't want to live there.
And if they're any developer building condos and apartments in the cities, they're having a trouble selling now in Bangkok.
So those earthquakes are part of God's mercy.
God is always so merciful.
Everything he does, everything he allows is for the maximum salvation of man.
So the earthquake came on March 28th, and it's related to several things.
It's really quite an amazing earthquake.
I did a lot of YouTube video on this already, but I can cover something I haven't done before, which is if you take the 2004 epicenter of the Banda Aceh tsunami, the biggest tsunami, I think, in our lifetime, killed over 300,000 people from Indonesia all the way to Sri Lanka, Thailand.
If you draw that line from that epicenter straight to the North Pole, it basically crosses the next earthquake.
It was like a projection, a 20-plus-year projection of where the next earthquake was going to be.
It's just an amazing thing.
God is into geometry.
And then the name of that earthquake, if you look up, it's a strange word in Burmese, Harkar Yin, which doesn't mean anything to us.
But when you look it up in Google, Google thinks that's Hausa, which is a language in Nigeria, and it means oh my God.
Oh my God is the epicenter.
And then the point of origin where that Banda Ace tsunami earthquake happened back in 2004, right?
So that's how many, 21 years ago.
The closest town to that epicenter was called God's End.
So the patterns everywhere in these earthquakes, but you just have to study it a little bit.
And that's why people come on your show and watch you, because we're interested in what these things mean.
I know you believe we're living in the last days, but Matthew 24.
You know this, Ricky.
Yes.
That's where we're living right now.
Amen.
And here's what it says.
For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in many places.
All these are the beginning of sorah.
Do you believe that we are in that time?
That's exactly it.
Yeah.
So Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13 emphasize more about the pre-tribulation signs.
So these pre-tribulation signs are here.
And the very fact that the Lord Jesus said there'll be earthquake in diverse places talks about a global economy, global communication.
It's talking about our time.
Because if an earthquake had happened in Japan back in, you know, 2,000 years ago, nobody would know about it until years and years later.
But for the Lord to say that you will know there'll be earthquake in diverse places, it's talking about the internet age.
And we know it instantly now.
And so that earthquake, and the Lord sends me there.
You know, the Lord has sent me to many places right when the signs are happening.
And the Lord sent me there just on that day.
And on that day, I was preaching to a business, actually.
It was a group of business people, many of whom are Buddhists.
And I told them what the Bible says.
And I told them the day will come when people have to leave the cities and they'll be coming to the countryside.
And you won't expect it, but we need to prepare places of refuge for people.
And God really confirmed it because on that very day, I was supposed to get on a flight to go to Bangkok and not only to get to Bangkok, but to get to the very market where the building fell and killed over 80 people.
It's called the Jatu Chak market.
That very day, the earthquake happened.
So all the people who got saved or heard the word of God that day saw a supernatural confirmation.
Wow.
Wow.
I need three, four hours to talk this man.
But Pope Francis died on Easter Monday.
What is the significance of his death in Bible prophecy?
What do you think?
Well, I know a lot of people were calling him like the Antichrist or calling him the false prophet.
So obviously, you know, they have to find another candidate now.
So I think that that is a significant thing.
He was very, you know, I never called him the Antichrist or anything like that, but he was very pro-communist and pro-climate change agenda.
And so I rarely heard him speak the gospel the way that I think a servant of God should.
So I think it's significant that since last year until this year, you're going to see a lot of prominent leaders get judged because judgment has to begin in the house of the Lord.
And so I think that God is clearing the way because once the church has been cleansed, then it's going to come to the whole world.
So we get it first.
Since last year, we've been seeing ministry after ministry getting cleansed.
It's going to continue this year.
And then really some big stuff for the rest of the world.
You know, we want to talk.
Go ahead.
You know, we want to talk about the founder, Klaus Schwab, talking.
You know, he stepped down from the World Economic Forum chair.
I just want to ask you, what do you see taking place next in the World Economic Forum?
Because that's a very big deal.
88 years old, I believe he was.
Yes.
Yeah, that's interesting.
I think a lot of the older generation is paving the way, just like in the body of Christ.
Older generations paving the way for the new.
Some have transitioned a bit too fast, in my view.
But it's happening in Satan's kingdom too.
So I'd call the World Economic Forum part of Satan's kingdom.
It really is evil.
How many world leaders have been basically planted by them, including in Australia and New Zealand?
So he's stepping down.
They've got an interim chair named Peter, and I can barely say his name, Brebek Letmate.
He's the interim guy.
So we don't know yet who's coming, but it's kind of like when Trump appoints a Supreme Court justice.
He wants to look for somebody young.
So there are people who are highly qualified, who should be there.
Like I'm talking about born-again, Bible-believing, and know their history, you know, can cite precedents and history really well.
But yet he's not going to pick those people because he's going to want somebody that's going to be there for a long time.
In the same way, I think Klaus Schwab realizes his days are numbered, but you cut the head off the beast, another head grows.
It's just going to be a young version of who he is.
But at this time, we don't know who's going to be the successor of the World Economic Forum.
Be a watchman on the walls and make sure you're right with God.
Absolutely.
And listen, this is why I love Pastor Steve because everything he talks about, you have to run it through the word.
Stay away from this conspiracy theorists that are leading you astray.
And I saw a lot of Christians baffled at the fact that they thought that Pope Francis was going to be the false prophet, and they were wrong.
I think we have to understand where do we line up according to scripture with leaders, events, and religion.
Because if we don't understand the scriptures, you're going to be falling into what Matthew 24 talks about, deception and being deceived.
And I want to tell you something.
My spirit is heavy the last few hours.
I believe that there's a shift coming like never before.
But this program, Pastor Steve, has been warning for years.
And Pastor Steve, I have to ask you about this because this is another sign economically.
It's another sign of acceleration in Bible prophecy.
But I want to get your take on Trump's policy when it comes to tariffs and protecting American industries, but it's also sending a shockwave all over the world with the markets change overnight.
Is there a spiritual significance prophetically to this tariffs?
And economically, we saw nations and millions of people lost millions of dollars.
But what's your take on the tariffs and the markets changing?
Okay, so I'll take the question on tariffs, and I'd like to try to go back to the World Economic Forum with a scripture.
But the tariffs, to me, nothing historically unprecedented about it.
America used to have no income tax and we forgot about that.
So the only way that the American government funded itself back in the 1780s was through the tariff.
It was President George Washington who signed the Tariff Act of 1789.
And George Washington put a 5% flat tax, a tariff duty on all imports.
And back then, it was mainly European imports.
And that funded the government.
So people need to realize historically what Trump is doing right now makes perfect sense.
And the reason that he has to do it is because America has been treated unfairly.
American cars, you can barely see them in Europe.
But if you go to any intersection in America, you're going to see European cars.
Why?
Because they bring them in at 2.5%.
And so people all over the world have been unfairly taxing America.
That means that Americans are consuming.
more than other people in the world are consuming American goods.
And this trade deficit, it's called, is very bad for the economy.
So Trump is simply asking for reciprocal.
And again, I did a whole YouTube comparison where I went through many, many stats on that.
So number one, it's historical.
Number two, it's fair.
It's just.
Trump's an agent of justice.
And number three, it's working.
So when people panic, they don't realize what's happening.
I'll give you an example.
I think Trump has done something as one single man that nobody else has thought of and thought would be possible.
He's brought interest rates down globally.
Like in Australia right now, they're talking about interest rates coming down.
Well, that's more money for you, right?
If you have any mortgage, that's more money for you.
How did he do that?
By temporarily tanking the stock market.
Money, of course, flees to safety.
It goes into bonds.
And by going into bonds, it forced the Fed and many central government, central banks around the world to lower the interest rate.
So that's something that Trump as a single man did.
That's good for us.
Also, the price of oil dropped immediately.
So oil price is the most important thing to lowering inflation and lowering the price of our food and goods.
And he's done that single-handedly and just kind of like over a week.
And I went immediately online and I told people, don't worry about the famine or the global depression or the collapse of the dollar.
It's not happening yet.
And you can see today crypto shot up.
I think crypto is at nearly 90,000 now, shut up huge.
Markets having a green day.
So Trump's tariffs are working.
But if you listen to the media all over the world, Trump's dangerous.
Trump's going to destroy the world economy.
And some of the Christians are jumping on this bandwagon.
He's not going to do that.
But the World Economic Forum, to come back to them, their plan is to destroy the world economy because they want people to own nothing and be happy about it.
And there's a scripture for them, right?
They're called the World Economic Forum.
There's a scripture in Revelation concerning specifically the economy.
It's very clear.
It's in Revelation chapter 6, verses 5 to 6.
And it says, and when he opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, come and see.
And behold, and lo, a black horse.
And he that sat on him had a pair of scales or a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny, and see that thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Very interesting.
So don't hurt the oil and the wine.
The price of oil is very important to us being able to survive and live and buy things affordably.
But what happens is the food begins to get into shortage.
Noumana Food Storage Solution 00:03:02
So the World Economic Forum has a plan to engineer a global famine that causes people to be more and more dependent on centralized power.
And that paves the way to digital ID.
And that paves the way to the Antichrist mark of the beast.
So it's all playing out within a few short years.
And I think we're going to see the climax of all this, which is the fulfillment of Revelation and the second coming of Jesus Christ within our lifetime.
Wow.
Amen.
You know, Pastor Steve, we'll be right back.
We're going to play this Monday video from our sponsor for today's show, and then we'll be right back.

Noah Harari's False Prophet Theory 00:10:10
And the Bible is very, very close that then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you, and you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
We're living in that day.
Listen, these false prophets God speaks of are not just some guy out in the street screaming.
That's right.
There are other any religion that don't believe that Jesus Christ is God.
They're false prophets.
Absolutely.
World economic prophet.
Half three-quarters of the world is probably worshiping false gods.
Absolutely.
We're seeing a plethora of World Economic Forum leaders, nations of leaders.
We're seeing industries themselves really sounding the alarm from their own platforms, deceiving many people.
And that's the false prophet shall rise and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will wax cold.
And they're waxing cold right now.
That's right.
Would you comment on that, please, for me?
Pastor Steve.
Oh, he's alive right now.
I think we have a great candidate for the false prophet.
And the fact that the Pope has died, Pope Francis, has brought my candidate even closer to the forefront.
So if you look up a man named Yuval Noah Harari, he has been for like 20 years been the number one best-selling author in different categories.
And his books are just displayed everywhere.
When I walk around the airports or pass by bookstores, they are really pumping up this guy.
Obama was one of the first to recommend him.
He's been an advisor to Klaus Schwab.
They're really trying to prep him up to be somebody important to the world.
I'm surprised how many Christians read Yuval Noah Harari and don't even question how anti-God this guy is.
Let me give you a quote from just a couple of years ago.
This is reported by the All-Israel News.
Yuval Noah Harari says, In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct.
Think about the blasphemous statement.
Just think, he says, about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI.
That could be a reality.
So the false prophets are here.
Christians are reading him already and don't question.
I've asked some Christians why they read about it, and they don't know because they just pick up whatever is displayed and is considered one of the top 10, 20 books.
He further said, throughout history, religions dreamt about having a book written by a superhuman intelligence by a non-human entity.
Well, no, we haven't dreamt about such a thing.
We've had that by inspiration from God for thousands of years.
But he's really playing on the ignorance of a lot of people, truly deceiving people.
And it's here now.
He's very popular now.
And I think that he's the current candidate for me.
And the reason also that I think that he fits the bill is because the Lord gave us a play on word, didn't he?
In Luke chapter 17, verse 26, he said, just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
So he does that a lot with, like, say, the name Trump.
You know, at the last trump, the trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ will rise.
Well, he knows that in the end time, there's going to be the most famous man in the world is Donald Trump right now.
We've got the Trump, we've got Yuval Noah Harari, and he's speaking such disgusting, blasphemous things that Christians actually believe and follow and pay to read his stuff.
It's really quite disconcerting.
People just have to be Bible literate.
You know, they have to come and listen to shows like yours, Pastor Jim, and read.
You've got to go back and read the Bible every day.
A lot of Christians do not read their Bibles, have not finished reading the Bible.
So if we are equipped in the Word of God, then that's really the immune system to keep us from being deceived.
Because Jesus has warned that in the last days, a deceiver like Yuval Noah Harari will be so persuasive that he will deceive even some of the elect.
Wow.
We have talked about Noah Harari on this program.
I brought it up to our audience for several years.
I believe you're right on.
I happen to believe he will be my candidate for a false prophet because he's saying the right things.
Culturally, he fits the mole.
Our time is up.
But you got the next question.
I really want to hear the answer.
Maybe you can set it up and then he'll answer tomorrow.
Okay.
We want to know this because you've discussed the possibility of World War III based on biblical prophecy.
Who are the nations that we need to watch very closely?
Wow, this is at the end of the show.
And I've got to explain World War III.
This is a big one.
That's a tough one.
Well, obviously, we're looking at something in Ukraine.
I think that Europe wants war with Russia.
And the next thing, probably coming around Pentecost, which is in June this year, I would predict that something happens in Europe.
Europe started World War I, World War II.
Patterns are prophetic.
History is prophecy.
So the next war, which is not the war to end all wars, they thought World War I was the war to end all wars, and we kept going and going, got bigger and bigger with worse weapons.
So I think the next war is that one, and of course, Iran.
So between Ukraine, Russia, and Iran, these are the next hot spots, but these are not Armageddon.
Wow.
That's my short answer.
Okay.
Well, we'll start tomorrow.
Listen, this show is like the old hardy boy books.
They leave you on a cliffhanger for the next chapter.
Nobody knows what a hardy boy is.
I read every one of them.
Did you?
But I want to tell you something.
We've got to stay on the air because these are the last days.
Amen.
And this is one of the only programs that tells you point by point what's happening in the last days.
We bring you true prophets of God.
And God is saying so much right now that I don't even have time to tell you.
But maybe on another show.
But Jesus is coming soon.
And the end times is here right now.
Do you believe that?
100%.
And I'm telling you, you preach Matthew 24 a few Sundays ago.
You believe that?
Well, I believe every word of it.
It's the inspired word of God.
Well, that's what's coming.
Amen.
And if people you want to know, turn over to Matthew 24 and read it.
It's a roadmap to where we're going right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we need your support.
I'm believing God for a thousand people to give $1,000 to pay up our bills.
Stand with us.
And we've gone through some, you know, the devil's mad and I guess you say he, and we're glad, but I want a thousand people to give $1,000 so we can go into all the world.
Amen.
And we can do it.
Absolutely, we can.
Mondus got some great ideas, don't you?
Yeah, Ricky and I have come together, and really, the plan is to expand this program, and we're going to do it together.
And God has given us new vision.
God has given us new ideas.
And we want you to come along with us.
Don't miss this great moment.
I believe that God is turning a page on this ministry and we're going to go further than we ever.
And I guarantee those who are participating in this offering are going to open the windows of heaven.
They're going to see a blessing that they've never seen before.
I gave one of the first thousand dollars and I'm on Social Security.
That's all I make.
I don't even have a salary.
You guys won't pay me.
That's right.
He's got that right.
I've never been paid.
In 40 years, I haven't been paid.
The government took all my money.
But now they're telling me I'm too old to have to pay that anymore.
So they release me from it.
That's a miracle.
And so I get Social Security.
Thank you for sowing into the ministry.
I'm going to sow $1,000 in because I want to be the first.
And I need a blessing.
I need the windows of heaven open for me.
Amen.
And I'll tell you, we're living in the last days.
And it's time to open the windows of heaven for you.
Amen.
You need it.
You need to be obedient.
Don't be doubtful.
Don't doubt God.
Believe in God.
Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and you will have joy.
I'm getting close to heaven, so I'm excited about it.
I want to take you with me.
Not right now, but when you die, I want to go to heaven.
Amen.
Amen.
Listen, God loves you.
He really does.
Is our phone number on the screen?
1-88-988-1588.
Call us and say, I will do this, Jim.
Amen.
I guarantee you, the windows of heaven will open for you.
Amen.
God bless you.
Amen.
