Mystery Explosions In Gaza 00:08:38
Welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show.
Today, our special guest is economic and political analyst Michael Snyder.
Our co-host today is Reverend Mondo de la Vega.
And now here's your host, Pastor Ricky Baker.
Hello, friends.
You're watching the PTL Television Network.
Today we have an incredible guest.
It's Michael Snyder.
Michael Snyder, if you don't know who he is, he's a conservative political and economic commentator, an author, and a former Washington, D.C. attorney.
And Mondo, he also is just, I would say he's on the front lines of what's happening right now in the United States of America.
He's giving the information uncensored to the people.
The Economic Collapse blog is one that you need to follow.
Stay close to it.
I go to it almost every single day to be able to find out what is Michael Snyder saying about some of the most important issues facing America today.
And I can tell you that he gives vividly an important information that we must have available to us.
That's right.
Michael, I want to jump right into it.
You have a recent article called World on Fire While Americans Sleep.
Here are 15 ways that the World War III has progressed during the past seven days.
So talk about that.
What do you mean by that?
Well, it's great to be with you today, Ricky.
Thank you for having me on.
And let's put this in perspective and let's go back to 2023 because I came on the show.
You can pull up the tape.
You can go back and look at it.
I came on the show in 2023 and I said the big Middle East war has begun.
And at that time, I'm sure there were a lot of people in your audience who rolled their eyes and were like, sure, yeah, who's this guy?
You know, what is he talking about?
But what have we seen since then?
Okay.
We've seen the biggest war in Gaza that we've ever seen and it continues.
Israeli forces are rolling into sections of Gaza.
They pretty much left alone.
I mean, they've devastated most of Gaza, but they're rolling into an area in central Gaza that they pretty much left alone, where it just continues.
The death poll just continues to rise.
There's been this horrible conflict, military conflict in Gaza that no one seems to be able to stop.
Meanwhile, Israel is also fighting the Houthis in Yemen, where Yemen keeps launching missiles at Israel.
Israel is conducting airstrikes.
In fact, just conducting a massive airstrike of one of the largest ports there that the Houthis in Yemen use.
So that continues.
That's another front of it.
Another front is Lebanon, where over the course of the past couple years, Hezbollah has been devastated.
The leadership has been crippled, but there's still fighting going on.
People need to realize that Israel is conducting airstrikes in Lebanon.
Of course, they're overshadowed by the airstrikes in Syria.
What have we seen over the past couple of years?
The Assad regime in Syria has been overthrown and a new regime, a terrorist regime, has taken over.
Israel has just been bombing that regime.
In fact, just bombed Damascus.
The Ministry of Defense and the Presidential Palace in Damascus was hit.
And there's it because of the Druze population in southern Syria has been getting attacked by radical Islamists.
Israel wants to defend them.
So Israel has been bombing them.
Hundreds of airstrikes inside Syria.
That's another front front that has been raging.
And of course, in this show, we're also going to talk about the mystery explosions, which John Paul Jackson saw so many years ago.
I've talked about in my books, mystery explosions.
The New York Times, the most important newspaper in America, just had a headline, mysterious explosions in Iran.
I just wrote about that yesterday.
John Paul Jackson's prophecy being fulfilled in the New York Times yesterday.
And so that's coming out, of course, since the last time I was on, last time I was on, we hadn't had the war with Iran yet.
I mean, this big thing with Iran.
And I told the audience, I said, look, this thing with Iran, it's coming up.
It's going to explode.
And then things are going to start moving very, very quickly.
You can roll the tape on that too.
You know, and what happened?
And it had been 30 and 40 years.
We've been waiting for Israel to bomb Iran.
We've been waiting for this thing.
So I'm sure, once again, people in the audience were rolling their eyes.
What does this guy know?
What is this guy talking about?
Sure enough, this thing with Iran exploded.
We had the big 12-day war, right?
The U.S., I mean, Israel bombed Iran.
The U.S. bombed Iran's nuclear sites, you know, and now there's a ceasefire.
But the president of Iran just came out and in a big interview, he said, Hey, I don't think this ceasefire is going to hold.
And we're getting ready to go to war with Israel again.
In fact, we're prepared right now to once again strike targets deep inside Israel.
So my personal opinion, I want to stress that personal opinion that this thing with Iran is not over yet.
I think it's going to re-erupt here pretty soon.
And that we're going to see kind of a part two, if you will, to this whole thing, because I don't think it's over with Iran.
But meanwhile, all these other fronts in the Middle East continue to erupt, continue to move forward in the big Middle East war.
Henry Gruber, when he was still alive, he saw when Israeli troops go into Gaza, that'll be a sign that the big Middle East war has begun.
And that supernatural experience that he had proved to be correct.
2023, Israeli troops went into Gaza.
And since then, the big Middle East war has been raging for two years.
No one's been able to stop it.
And we have more chapters to write.
Wow.
There are a lot more chapters to write.
Listen, I'm thinking about what you just said with the mystery explosions.
Take us back to John Paul Jackson.
That prophecy.
I remember having dinner.
As a matter of fact, it's weird because I just pulled up two or three pictures having dinner with him here at Morningside.
And that was one of the last times he was here.
Several months later, he passed away.
But he delivered throughout the years some amazing prophecies, some amazing words that we are now starting to see even more and more.
But let's go back to what he prophesied.
Let's talk about the mystery explosions.
Can you expand a little bit about that?
What does that mean?
And what does that look like for us right now?
Yeah, in 2008, John Paul Jackson came out with a DVD, The Perfect Storm.
In fact, you offered that DVD on the Jim Baker show.
And in that DVD and other places too, he talked about this, but on that DVD and other places, John Paul Jackson talked about that there would be mystery explosions in Iran.
And of course, Israel would be behind them.
But he talked about in a prophecy in conjunction with the bombing of Iran by Israel, which, of course, we've already seen some of that.
I believe more is coming.
And so that was in the context of what he was talking about, the future bombing.
You know, this isn't a game.
People think that we're playing some kind of a game here, but the supernatural is real.
And John Paul Jackson saw in it way in advance, many years in advance, that Israel would bomb Iran.
And he saw, he used John Paul Jackson, used the phrase mystery explosions.
In fact, he used that phrase more than once in terms of what we would see in the context of that.
There would be mystery explosions in Iran.
And we just saw that in the New York Times yesterday.
I just wrote about it on my sub stack.
Mysterious explosions and fires all over Iran for more than two weeks.
And this is the New York Times reporting on it.
For more than two weeks, there have been mysterious fires and explosions all over Iran.
And, you know, and everyone's like, what's going on?
And the Iranians publicly are blaming gas leaks, accidents, faulty infrastructure.
But, you know, privately, according to the New York Times, they're blaming Israel.
They know Israel's behind it.
And everyone kind of knows Israel's behind it because Israel knows this thing with Iran is not done.
And so they're conducting covert operations inside Iran, going after targets, going after people, going after things that they want to blow up.
China's Strategic Land Purchases 00:12:26
And so there's been these huge explosions all over Iran, unexplained explosions.
But we know Israel is responsible.
Of course, they're not taking responsibility for it, but it's all part of this thing.
This thing with Iran is very much alive and is far from over, in my opinion.
You know, during the Biden administration, we heard that China was buying property in the United States of America.
Mondo, one thing that I found baffling was try to be an American government and go buy land in China.
I don't think they would let it slide.
But we were seeing the Chinese government buying land and the U.S. now is reporting that China may be invading, quote unquote, New Hampshire.
Can you tell us what in the world is going on?
Yeah, for years, China has been quietly buying up property all over the United States.
They've been buying important pieces of infrastructure.
They've been buying farmland, especially farmland right next to U.S. military bases.
And the Biden administration let them do it.
Democrats let them do it.
And, you know, some people have been sounding the alarm, but they've kept doing this.
And now there's this case in New Hampshire where they just bought up this big industrial site that had been kind of abandoned for quite a few years.
But this Chinese company owned by the wealthiest man in China was willing to pay four times the assessed value of the property to get a hold of this industrial site, which no one else seemed to want to buy.
But it turns out that it's right next to the drinking water facility in New Hampshire.
So everyone there is kind of sounding the alarm saying, why are the Chinese doing this?
And they're getting access.
It's a beverage company that's moving in, a Chinese beverage company, and they're getting access to the drinking water.
And there's concern about the security implications of that.
And people are like, well, wow, they're taking over our town.
And they, not too long ago, also, not too far away, they purchased the 50-acre campus of what used to be Daniel Webster College.
They paid double what that was worth.
So the Chinese are moving in these areas, paying far more than what the properties are worth and really taking over communities all over the country.
But it's not just farmland, not just businesses they're taking over.
They're also purchasing homes.
In fact, during a recent 12-month period, the Chinese purchased $13.7 billion worth of homes all over the United States.
And that was an 83% increase over the 12 months before that.
So they're really ramping up.
You know, we've got a national, we're told we have a national housing crisis.
There's not enough homes.
You know, home prices are too high.
But we're allowing the Chinese to come in and buy just billions and billions of dollars of homes all over the country.
That's not a good thing.
Meanwhile, the Chinese are buying farmland over the country.
You know, the state where they have the most farmland?
It's in Texas.
In fact, they owned over 100,000 acres near Laughlin Air Force Base there in Texas.
They had to divest a little bit of that, but they still own more farmland in Texas than anywhere else in the country.
In Virginia, their purchase of Smithfield Foods gave them control over tens of thousands of acres of farmland.
In Oregon, one Chinese billionaire gobbled up 200,000 acres of prime Oregon timberland.
You know, now, fortunately, the Trump administration is taking some small steps.
They want to try to block some Chinese purchases of property in sensitive locations.
And that's great.
That's a step in the right direction.
But so much damage has already been done.
The Chinese already own so much property all over the country.
And to me, this is extremely alarming because I know where things with China are eventually going.
And I've been writing about this for years.
So we're literally allowing our enemy to come in, buy up land and property and key infrastructure in very important locations, strategic locations.
And someday, if a war erupts with China, which it will, we will have compromised ourselves because we'll have allowed the enemy to gain footholds in very important locations all over the country.
Michael, we have not heard the conflict of Taiwan and China in the recent months.
Is there anything happening that we need to be aware of?
I mean, the news is filled with so much disaster going on in America.
The politics of should we release Epstein's files or not?
What's happening behind that?
But I'm worried that behind the scenes, China's making moves to invade Taiwan, yet nobody's talking about it.
What's happening there?
Yeah, there was recently a big article in the mainstream media talking about the Philippines and Taiwan are coordinating.
They want to work more closely together because they both feel under threat from China, because it's not just Taiwan that feels threatened, but the Philippines has been battling with China over certain islands and territorial islands.
The Philippines thinks belongs to them.
China thinks belongs to them.
So they're wanting to work more closely to one another.
The Chinese recently conducted a huge naval operations around Taiwan, basically practicing for what a blockade of Taiwan would look like, which would be the first step toward an invasion.
China's probably not going to go directly into Taiwan, probably blockade, block all trade, block all ships coming in and out first before the actual invasion would take place.
China just conducted not too long, it was just weeks ago, a massive military exercises practicing, simulating what that would look like.
So we're seeing that.
Meanwhile, U.S. relations with China have been very, very rocky regarding the trade war and everything else.
And then China has been providing air defenses as Iran.
Right now, Iran's rebuilding their air defenses.
China has been helping with that as well.
And so there's a lot of concern.
That is one front in World War III, which hasn't flared up yet, but we're going to be watching that because I think that's over the next year.
I think that's going to become a big deal.
But right now, that front, I mean, there are things going on, but fortunately, there's no open fighting yet.
Like we're seeing, you know, over in Ukraine and with Russia, where Trump just issued his 50-day ultimatum, right?
Where I had that dream where, you know, I was warned, hey, Trump cannot issue threats to Russia, you know, or it's going to backfire.
Well, Trump is threatening Russia now.
50-day ultimatum saying, Russia, you do this.
We're going to slap massive sanctions on you and everybody that does business with you.
100% tariffs, Trump is threatening in 50 days on Russia and everybody that does business with Russia.
And who does Russia do more business with than anyone else?
China.
Okay.
So we're going to slap China with 100% tariffs if Russia doesn't end the war.
Russia already said we're not going to end the war.
We're not going to respond to these threats.
So is that what Trump is actually going to do once we get to this ultimatum, which falls in September?
I mean, so that our relations with China would get even worse because of that.
So all these things are building up.
A lot of things are building up for the September, October timeframe when the fall festivals fall coincidentally.
So we're going to be watching that very closely.
You know, Marla, could we see another attack during a fall festival coming up in the next few months?
I don't know, but pray it doesn't happen, but obviously prepare for if these countries were to strike during these events.
I don't know about you watching, but I wrote it down.
The atmosphere feels heavy.
Very heavy.
Maybe you're at home, you're watching.
Maybe you're watching the news.
Maybe you're watching the development of everything that is happening.
But I can tell you that today, I feel heavy.
There's a spiritual warfare going on, and the atmosphere feels heavy.
And it's called spiritual warfare.
Anytime you feel that way, you got to lean into the word, lean into prayer, ask for wisdom.
Because I want to tell you something.
In the book of Daniel, the Bible talks about it and it breaks it down that this type of seasons, the enemy is trying to exhaust you mentally and it's trying to discourage you.
But we as the church, we know who wins.
We know.
But the problem is, Michael, that a lot of the things that have to take place before we see the king of kings are pretty heavy.
Can I ask you this as a church?
What hope do we have?
Where do we hold on to?
I mean, I know we hold on to Jesus.
I know we, we, we, I know all that.
But can you give us a word of encouragement as we hear you talk like this, as we watch the news development developing?
What message do you have for the church watching right now as believers?
Yeah, I know that a lot of the things I'm talking about are heavy, but if you're watching today, you need to realize you were born for such a time as this.
And if God didn't think you could handle this, he wouldn't have put you here.
So, God, you need to understand God has a plan, God is in control, and God has a job for you to do in this hour and this season, and he has a purpose for you.
And all of human history has been building up to a grand crescendo, and we get to be here for it.
We get to prepare the way for the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
And there's no other time in all of human history that I would have rather lived than right here and right now.
So I'm so excited.
And through the internet and through television and through the things that we do, we get to proclaim to the whole world the end times message that Jesus is coming and there are more souls in hanging in the balance today than at any other time in human history.
A lot of people think, well, I would have loved to live when the apostles were alive.
Well, there are, you know, about 80, about 80 times as many people alive today as when the apostles were running around back then in the first century.
So we've got, I believe the greatest harvest in all of human history is upon us.
We get to participate that.
We get to be a part of that.
And the most souls that are going to be in heaven are going to be from our time.
And I want to be a part of that.
I know you want to be a part of that.
And so, hey, the most exciting part of the movie is the end of the movie, right?
And if you're watching a movie and there's great heroes and they're doing something in a great story or a great movie, the heroes have to go through things, go through great challenges before they get to the end and get the victory, right?
Well, it's the same thing for us.
We've got to go through great challenges and great trials and great adventures for the glory of God, for the glory of the kingdom, for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
That's why we're doing it.
And then we get the end.
We get the victory.
We know what the book says in the end.
We win in the end.
We got a future ahead of us far more glorious than we can even imagine.
But we got some stuff to go through first.
And God told us about all of it in advance so we could be comforted, so we could know.
Okay, that's why we got to talk about the end times.
That's why the churches have got to talk.
The pastors have got to preach about the end times.
Most of them are not.
Still, they need to do it so people can be comforted about the things that are coming.

So people can realize that don't be afraid.
Don't go in a corner and cry like a crybaby because of things that are happening.

So and do what God has called you to do because God puts you here for a purpose.
Amen.

I want to tell you right now, hey, we'll be right back with Michael Snyder.

We want to bring Michael Snyder back.
Listen, there's so much happening around the world that we need to stay informed with the right words, the right biblical outlook on what's happening because you can take that information and take it to your prayer time.
The Most Important Decision 00:05:04
Pray about this thing.
Yes.
Where would you be during these times to help your neighbor?
Do you have enough food?
Do you have the right information biblically to help answer some of the toughest questions that are happening right now?
And I can tell you that people are hungry for the Lord.
There's something special happening that people want to know more about God.
Listen, they're going back to the grassroots and they want to go back to plays that it's not going to be theatrical.
It's not going to be this spectacle.
They just want the word.
They want to feel God.
And maybe someone coming into your home can feel the presence of God.
Maybe you're in a home where they're taking care of you.
Read the word to that person that is helping you.
Share the message of the gospel.
We only have one opportunity in this life.
We just don't know how short life may be for any of us.
The Bible says that death is promised to all of us.
No one is excluded from that moment.
The key is let's win one more for the kingdom of heaven.
Let's share the gospel to one more.
I understand all of these things are happening.
They're going to happen.
They're developing fast.
But you know what else is moving fast?
The move of the power of the Holy Spirit.
It's resurrecting lives.
It's restoring families.
It's restoring nations.
There's a move of God.
How do I know that?
Because the Bible says, oh, you're going to get me preaching.
Where sin abounds, much more grace will abound.
That no matter how dark is getting out there.
As a matter of fact, get encouraged when it gets darker because there's going to be a move of God that is going to be far greater.
In the last days, the Bible says, young men and young women will prophesy.
Amen.
You will see visions.
You're going to see dreams.
Acts 2.
We're going to see one of the greatest moves of God like we've never seen before.
The key is this.
Don't you dare give up.
Amen.
Go read Acts 2, 17 through 21 today.
Be encouraged by what the Lord's going to do in the last days.
Michael, as we just have a few minutes left in the broadcast, the most important decision anyone can ever make is the decision to follow Christ.
If there's someone watching today, maybe hasn't made that decision from your perspective.
You're a news watching man, but you love Jesus first and foremost.
What would you say to them who see turmoil in the world but want to find hope?
Right.
The only hope that you have to make it through what's coming is Jesus, because we really are living in the end times.
The book of Revelation is true.
And things are going to get really crazy in this world, much more crazy than we're even seeing now.
And then for eternity, this life is short.
None of us are going to live forever in this life.
But if you do want eternal life, if you do want to live forever, you can.
Eternal life is real.
Heaven is real.
Hell is real.
And if you want to live forever and if you want to be with Jesus forever, you can.
Jesus died on the cross for your sins.
He paid the price for your sins.
And if you will invite him into your life to be your savior and Lord, he will come into your life, forgive all of your sins, and give you eternal life.
We're talking about millions and millions and millions of years.
And that's only just the beginning in a perfect world with no suffering, no pain, no war, but just perfection.
And that's forever and ever and ever.
A story that literally has no ending.
If you want that, it's a free gift that's available to you.
All you got to do is reach out and invite Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior today.
Amen.
If you want someone to pray that prayer with you, you can call the number.
It's 1-888-988-1588.
We'd love to pray that salvation prayer with you.
You can go to PTL.tv and see all the different resources we have there as well.
Friends, it's the most important decision you'll ever make.
Like Michael said, this is the only place you can find hope during trials, during tribulations, during hardships, during hard times in your family, in your marriage, in your businesses, in your finances, in your spiritual walk with the Lord.
The only place that you can find hope is in Jesus Christ.
Make that decision today.
It's the most important decision you will ever make.
And friends, if you want someone to help you pray that prayer, we would love to do it.
Again, that number is 1-888-988-1588.

We're going to have Michael back for one more show.

Bye-bye for today.
