Time Text
It's getting closer.
We are the digital soldiers.
It's time they run forever We are the digital cultures We will bring the light To this field of fight Hi and welcome to another episode of Just Informed News Happy Saturday.
I hope you guys are having a great weekend.
We're going to get through some major news stories here.
And I think you probably noticed in the title, we're going to talk about what's going on in China.
A lot of speculation about this coup that may have taken place sometime between Xi Jinping's trip to Kazakhstan to meet with Vladimir Putin and coming back to the country.
It seems as though there are things happening in that country that we are...
Looking at and going, what is going on in China?
Now, why would there be a coup?
I don't know.
I would tell you that there's a lot of reasons to suspect that there's something going on there.
It's hard to get a good read on the situation because it is called the Hermit Kingdom for a reason.
We're going to talk about all the latest news and information coming out about that.
Plus, we have some breaking stories about Trump and the special master in that case, the FISA court judge who signed off on the illegal search warrant to go after Trump in the first place back in 2016 is the guy in charge of deciding what documents the DOJ can use in their case coming up.
So we're going to talk about that.
He's made some very interesting requests from Trump telling him basically to prove that the FBI planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago.
We're going to look at that story.
Plus, we have a bunch of other news stories to cover across the board, some interesting updates to some older stories that we looked at, and just a lot of stuff that obviously the fake news doesn't want you to have access to.
So with that being said, we're going to get right into it.
But the first thing we always do is say thank you to the sponsor of this show, and that is Noble Gold.
Noble Gold CEO Colin Plume thinks quantitative tightening is setting up the stage for a gold rally.
In his interview with the National Desk, Plume said the tightening is pushing the dollar up.
However, he predicts that by next year, the Fed will print money again to restart economic activities.
If you're thinking of gold and silver right now, Noble Gold is giving away a free gold American Eagle coin with every eligible IRA or 401k in September.
You cannot go wrong with Noble Gold.

Right below in the description of this video, there's a link and you can go check it out for yourself.
Alright guys, let's get into the stories today.
A lot going on here.
This is the big one, though.
Rumors of military coup in China claim Xi is under house arrest.
Yeah.
Now, I want us to really take a step back and take all this with a grain of salt.
Nothing here can really be verified, so this is a lot of speculation.
This is a lot of what people are saying, so it's a lot of hearsay.
It's a lot of stuff that we're seeing being reported from inside the country and people looking at the country from the outside in.
So let's just take it all with a grain of salt, but there's a few different things to look at here.
The first one here, PLA military vehicles heading to Beijing on September 22nd started from Huanglai County near Beijing and ending in Zhangjiku City, Hebei Province.
I can't say any of these things, sorry.
Entire procession as long as 80 kilometers.
Meanwhile, rumor has it that Xi Jinping was under arrest after the CCP seniors removed him as head of the PLA. And here's the video.
So you can see here, this is a 50-kilometer procession of military vehicles heading around the area of Beijing.
So that's one thing, but Gordon Chang is apparently a good source for this kind of information.
Here's what he's saying already.
He's saying this.
This video of military is replying to the tweet we just read.
This video of military vehicles moving to Beijing comes immediately after the grounding of 59% of flights in the country and the jailings of senior officials.
There's a lot of smoke, which means there is a fire somewhere inside the CCP. China is unstable.
Well, that's an interesting take on it, saying something is up in China.
The rumors remind us once again that the country is volatile and very few outsiders know what happens in senior CCP circles.
Stay tuned for announcements, news, info, rumors, tidbits, and gossip.
So 59% of the trips will not go ahead as of September 21st.
So this has been going on for a while now.
And the rumors are swirling across the Internet of a military coup in China that Xi Jinping is under arrest after CCP seniors removed him as head of the PLA. Is this the massive cancellation of flights in China, just a military exercise, or is there something more to it?
Now, why would they want to get rid of Xi Jinping?
Well, there's a few interesting things to note about it all.
If Xi Jinping is making negotiations with Vladimir Putin, then it would stand to reason that maybe some officials in the Communist Party don't like that.
They do like a closed society, and they're very much anti-outsider.
They're anti-foreigner.
And Xi Jinping has made it very clear with his regime's rule that it's been iron-fisted, to say the least.
And there are some that are more extreme, and there are some that are more light-handed.
And they're, you know, for instance, under Jiang Zemin, the previous leader, one of the previous leaders of the Communist Party, you know, it was part of the opening up to the West.
It was the softening of relations.
Hu Jintao is another example, you know, the softening of relations to the West, you know, kind of this, you know, lighter role the Communist Party was playing, not being closed off to foreigners, etc., etc.
There's a whole bunch of inner politics that come into play here.
But I would say it stands to reason that what you're seeing in China could be the initial movement to oust Xi as the rule.
Now, what I think may be playing a very large role in all this is the dissatisfaction of the population over these COVID lockdowns and these COVID mandates that are just going crazy.
I mean, China has it the worst by far than anyone else.
People are being thrown in quarantine camps.
It's getting out of hand there.
And they do have the mandate of heaven, which is kind of a loosely followed ancient principle that when there are major catastrophes and disasters within China, it's like signaling a mandate from heaven that whoever's the ruler at the time needs to be removed and replaced.
And this is something that you can historically go look up if you want to understand more about China and its history.
But it seems as though the mandate of heaven may be coming for Xi Jinping, as it were, And who knows who is behind this actual coup, but there's a lot of information to go through in it.
Other rumors circulating saying that Xi Jinping likely removed from the Chairman of the Military Commission's post on the shadow of a military coup.
He's rumored to have undergone a military coup.
And PLA special forces gathered at Shenyang Military Airport under the orders of Li Xiaoming.
So who knows if any of this is true, but it is something to look at as we have this coming out.
China's been accusing the NSA of hacking into government-funded universities, which I follow several different sources who are pretty good at it.
They're pretty aware of what's going on in China, and I do that.
I do follow a lot of the China news just on an independent level because I like to keep abreast of what's going on there.
And it's funny that Chinese come out and said that the NSA hacked into one of their central universities, and these people are pointing out the fact that some commentators and analysts that I trust and I think have good insight into what's going on there have just been making the joke that it's like, what did they get?
The network printing servers?
Did they hack those?
Because the technology that they're dealing with at these universities is not the top-notch technology, and so obviously it would stand to reason that You know, there's not much there, there.
But we'll see, you know.
And it's just a part of the whole thing.
And then a lot of people have said this, you know, there's always these rumors floating around about how, you know, Xi Jinping and Donald Trump and Putin all came together and made a deal basically to overthrow the globalist, you know, the regime, the NWO, the New World Order.
And that if there were a move made against Xi Jinping, it would be coming from globalist factions that have infiltrated China and the Communist Party that want to work with the globalist regime as opposed to working against it.
So, you know, it could be this is the 3D chess that we're watching here, but I don't know.
Not to mention the fact that China has laid out its position on Ukraine war at a UN assembly with them basically taking the approach that they want everybody to back off.
Everybody stop fighting.
We don't want to go to war.
Why?
Because...
China knows that the world is its customers, so if the world is on fire, who's going to buy all China's cheap crap?
That's the fact of the matter.
So they really want the U.S. to back down.
They want Ukraine to go into talks with a referendum with Russia to back off and basically say that there's nothing...
There's nothing for China to gain if the world goes to nuclear war.
Let's put it that way.
Because if all these countries are destroyed, maybe in the aftermath of all that, if they're left untouched, which is fairly unlikely, then China could do what the United States did for Europe after World War II and help rebuild the country and then become really the biggest superpower in the world.
So maybe there's that, but I would say in a more realistic sense, China...
It's economy would collapse overnight.
I mean, if they're not cranking out cheap crap for us to buy in Europe and in America and in Canada and the rest, then they're not going to have anything.
They're not going to have any GDP. And they have a billion and a half people to keep working and happy.
it'd probably lead to massive revolution, probably war.
They would probably have to declare war because they would lose all that money.
So they're begging, basically, Russia and the United States, NATO, to come to some terms here with Ukraine so that this doesn't escalate out of hand.
And that's the simplest way to put it.
I mean, if there's nobody around to buy Chinese cheap crap, they're going to be worried about it.
But speaking of what's going on over there in NATO and Ukraine, Poland has begun handing out iodine pills on fears of a Ukraine nuclear plant meltdown.
And this is just for the meltdown of the nuclear plant, right?
You guys know they've been shelling this nuclear plant over in Ukraine during this aggressive fighting that's been going on there.
So it seems to stand to reason that that's why they're handing out the pills.
But also, I mean, you have massive talks.
Coming out of Russia talking about limited nuclear tactical nuke options and then the United States with NATO using their, you know, saying they may have tactical nuclear options.
There's a lot to say on both sides where you've got to be very careful about what's coming down the pipeline.
So...
Yeah, so that's the whole thing.
And then today is September 24th.
If you guys recall, we made a video the other day asking what's going to happen today.
A lot of people were predicting, but it doesn't seem anything's really happening today.
Unless this whole thing about Xi Jinping being overthrown is true, then there might be some there there.
But I would say other than that, so far, so good.
The world hasn't ended.
We're not falling.
The sky isn't falling, but...
You know, there's still some day left, still daylight, so let's see what happens, right?
But again, I was skeptical in that video.
I was just asking questions.
Why does everybody say September 24th is going to be this big event?
Nothing's really happened so far today, but that could change.
In other news, Trump's special master has asked him if the FBI lied.
The important part of this story lands right here.
Let's see.
Here's the thing.
So what's happened is the judge is the special master in this case.
The special master is essentially the person who's been made to or appointed by the court to overlook the documents that were seized by the FBI and the DOJ in the raid of Mar-a-Lago to decide which ones were seized legally within the scope of the warrant and which ones were seized outside the scope of the warrant.
Now this judge, yesterday we reported, he had requested that he has help come in to help him out and Trump needs to pay for it.
And this judge, also Judge Deary, is the same judge from the FISA court that signed off on the Carter Page search warrant, FISA warrant, which was the predicate for the whole Russia collusion hoax, which essentially led to the Mueller investigation, which led to Ukraine impeachment, which led to everything.
So we know for a fact that this judge is either complicit with the deep state or he was lied to by the deep state, and it's looking more like he was complicit with the deep state because of the moves he's making now.
I think the Trump legal team thought it would be wise to throw all of this document we've talked about this in previous videos, but To throw all these documents back into the judge's court because he was lied to by the FISA court.
Or by the FBI, I should say, when they went to the FISA court to get the search warrant against Carter Page.
So if in the documents that were within Trump's residence that were seized by the DOJ and the FBI, there was proof that the FBI knowingly lied to Judge Deary, who is the special master now in this case, then it would stand to reason that that judge, if he was complicit, Would do what he's doing now, seemingly, and if he wasn't complicit, would be like, oh man, they lied to me, and then go from there.
But it looks like the judge is complicit because what he's done essentially now is he's put a strict timeline on Trump to get back to him with proof of things, of whether or not the FBI planted information at Mar-a-Lago, planted documents in the raid in which they took all the documents from Trump,
because This is what it says here.
In a filing Thursday, senior U.S. District Judge Raymond J. Deary, the guy who was signed off on the FISA warrant illegally, of New York, the court-appointed special master ordered the government to turn over copies of all non-classified items seized in the case to Trump's lawyers by Monday. the court-appointed special master ordered the government to turn over
He then ordered Trump's team to submit a declaration or affidavit of any items in the inventory that were removed from Mar-a-Lago that the plaintiff asserts were not seized from the premises, meaning items that were put there by someone else.
Deary also asked Trump's lawyers to identify any items that were seized by agents but not listed in the inventory.
This submission shall be plaintiff's final opportunity.
Final opportunity.
To raise any factual dispute as to the completeness and accuracy of the detailed property inventory.
And both sides have been ordered to appear for status conference on October 6th.
Wow, the ruling was not the first time Deary whom Trump's team had proposed for the role of special master.
It has pressed the former president's lawyers for details about their allegations, and there's other instances of that.
But essentially what's happening here is that Trump's made insinuations that they planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago, a part of the raid, which stands to perfect reason.
Now, the judge is basically saying, give me proof or shut up, basically, or you don't have any standing here.
So, we're going to see if Trump has proof.
We've talked about the possibility of cameras being there.
Could they have caught possibly the FBI agents planting information?
Is there a way to prove that?
Is there any evidence that Trump has?
I don't know.
But the fact that the special master, the judge here...
It's putting this pressure on Trump's legal team.
I think stands to, you know, speaking to the fact that they probably are not on the same page as what Trump's team was hoping for.
I think they keep kind of kicking the can back and forth.
It's like a hot potato.
You know, the Trump legal team tried to throw this on the judge.
Now the judge is throwing it back on them.
And we'll see how that all plays out.
But in other news, crooked Hillary Clinton, somebody who is guilty of many crimes but has never been indicted, she compares Trump rallies to Hitler rallies, claiming Trump supporters were raising their arms in a Nazi salute.
I remember as a young student, you know, trying to figure out how did people get basically drawn in by Hitler?
How did that happen?
And I'd watch newsreels and I'd see this guy standing up there ranting and raving and people shouting and raising their arms.
I thought, what's happened to these people?
Why did they believe that?
You saw the rally in Ohio the other night.
Trump is there ranting and raving for more than an hour, and you have these rows of young men with their arms raised.
I thought, what is going on?
So there is a real pressure, and I think it is fair to say we're in a struggle between democracy and autocracy.
Oh, wow.
Says the kleptocrat.
The kleptocrat criminal who sells, you know, peddles and sells information to our foreign allies or foreign adversaries, I should say, through her own, you know, foundation and did who knows what with her husband on Epstein Island, you know, probably trafficking children, probably into some kind of other abusive children.
And she says Trump's a Nazi.
So, you know, that's all they have.
Trump's a Nazi, right?
Yeah.
Trump's a Nazi.
Meanwhile, you guys remember this speech where we have literal, you know, pedo Hitler here going on stage and reminding us that half the country are evil and should be, you know, treated as violent extremists.
But anyway, in other news, let's get into some other stuff here.
Democratic firms prevail in suit against Project Veritas, and this is an incredible case.
Apparently, Project Veritas lost in court $120,000 in damages to a Democratic consulting firm that was targeted by Project Veritas because they say...
That the individual who was used, the informant that they used with the undercover cameras to film was in violation of some fiduciary obligation they had to the Democrat consulting firm.
And so if you expose their corruption, they're going to take you to court and sue you, right?
Because you're fiduciarily bound to not expose the hypocrisy, lies, the injustice, the criminality.
That's what they do in this country now.
Speaking of no ethics, no ethics whatsoever as the Democrat Party of Tarrant County responds to the Gateway Pundit's police body cam footage implicating top candidate blames Republicans and calls them racist.
Yeah, apparently...
There was a police body cam now that just came out of this Texas Democrat being accused by a homeless man of essentially this guy right here, essentially being accused, accusing the Texas Democrat of paying her $200.
The whole story is essentially this.
This guy is on a police body cam.
The cop's sitting in his car.
He's talking to this guy, and this guy's explaining the whole thing.
He's like, yeah, I was homeless, and they came to me, and they paid me to go get, you know, ballots and to forge signatures and to, you know, take ballots and stuff ballot boxes and do all these different crimes.
So they caught him on camera, and it's all, like, verifiable, basically, and this is all going through the process of investigation.
But what's fascinating about the whole thing now is that, of course, what else are they going to say?
He's racist.
It's racist.
So they steal election, they forge ballots, they pay homeless people 200 bucks a day or whatever per ballot or whatever it was to fraudulently steal an election, but it's racist.
I almost posted this on my social media and said, how long before they say that this is racist because the guy's black?
Well, it didn't take that long.

And today, our scripture of the day.
You can also find me here actually on True Social at Just Informed Talk.
But our scripture of the day is the parable of the wedding banquet.
And this goes right in hand with the parable of the vineyard owner, which we did yesterday.
And we're going to talk about what that means.
We're starting Matthew 22.
We're doing the whole Gospel of Matthew.
We started in Chapter 1.
We're already in Chapter 22, guys.
So stick around for our God's Grace is Greater segment where we're going to go through all that.
And let's see some other stuff here.
Let's go through some other news real quick.
President Trump last night paid tribute to conservative team Kyler Ellingson, who was killed by a deranged Democrat maniac.
Yeah, this is a very sad story.
This guy out in North Dakota ran this Trump supporter down with his truck and then said he was an extremist.
Yeah, it's indicative of where we're heading as a country now, the escalation of force and tension between the two sides.
A lot of people say we're heading towards civil war, but I don't know.
All I know is that if this continues, we're going to have some major problems in our country.
Speaking of problems in our country, out here in Communist California, where I'm at, California has decided to ban the sale of natural gas heaters by 2030 because gas is killing the climate.
Anyway, the California Air Resources Board voted to end the sale of natural gas heaters by 2030.
The goal is to replace all of them with electric appliances.
Yep, you guessed it.
Electric appliances, which they can put on the smart grid, which then they can tell you you can't use when it's too hot out.
Just like you can't charge your Tesla if it's too hot out here because they failed at creating a sufficient power grid.
So, there's that.
I thought that was interesting.
To say the least, right?
That's where we're at.
Speaking of failed leaders, let's watch and hear from our great child-molesting, you know, corrupt, treasonous traitor of a president, supposed president, Joe Biden.
This is what he said to some lady in the audience, and everybody seemed to really like it.
Watch this.
I mean, crazy.
But guess what?
We got a lot to do.
Gotta say hi to me.
We go back a long way.
She was 12, I was 30, but anyway...
This woman helped me get an awful lot done.
Now, anybody else saying that, I might not think twice about it.
It's like, oh, okay, you knew her.
Maybe you were her coach or something.
But when it comes to him and the history he has with his own kids and what we know about Ashley Biden's diary and she was sexualized at a young age because her father had inappropriate showers with her, according to her own words, and how his own son refers to him as pedo Peter, draws a lot of questions.
You want to go, well, what the heck were you doing with whoever this woman is when she was 12 and you were 30?
But I love how our whole world is so aloof and desensitized to the whole thing.
Joe, you're so funny and clever.
You were with a 12-year-old when you were 30?
That's so nice.
Because that's what they want, I guess.
But I want to give an update to a story we did the other day.
You guys, Bill Maher has come out and said that this Ontario teacher with huge prosthetic breasts is obviously needing help.
You guys know the story of this giant breasted teacher.
But I actually found something on social media that's pretty funny.
As the parents are protesting this school and very outraged by it, I think it's hilarious because...
So you want to hear the real?
Like, this is what I've heard the real story is behind this, which is insane.
Okay, so this guy was a shop teacher.
And I don't know, this is just a rumor I heard online, so it could be true, it could be false, but it sounds plausible.
This is what they're saying online.
People close to this shop teacher are saying, and kids that were in his class are saying this, right?
So in Canada, right, everything's so woke.
So basically it was this shop teacher, and he was making fun of the woke culture.
He was making fun of the trans bathrooms and all the craziness that was going on there.
And he essentially, what they say, got threatened by the school board, and they were going to fire him, right?
Because he was making comments about woke policies and how it's all crazy and garbage and Basically making comments to his kids about how this was insane and trans stuff is crazy and all that stuff and pronouns.
He wouldn't use them.
So when he found out or when he was censured or whatever or basically yelled at by the school board and they threatened to fire him, the guy does this genius thing.
I think it's fairly hilarious.
He goes out, buys these massive prosthetic breasts and puts them on and wears a wig and starts identifying as a tranny And now, because of the woke insanity that's happening in Canada, they can't fire him.
They can't even say anything bad about him.
They're actually protecting his right to do it.
I love it!
If that is true, that is the ultimate troll.
That is the ultimate troll move I've ever heard in my life.
That's like real life troll level 1,000.
So the guy's like a shop teacher, probably like, you know, looking at all these kids in his class, telling him, oh, you got to use my pronouns, blah, blah, blah.
And he's like, I don't use any pronouns.
This is stupid.
And then the school board's like, you have to or else we're going to fire you.
And then the next day he shows up with giant, he goes online probably and buys like the biggest fake breasts I can buy legally, right?
However big the box will fit them.
And then on top of it, gets a wig and just shows up the next day like, now I'm Mrs.
whatever.
I think it's funny.
I think if that's the case, it's hilarious.
And it's how you beat these woke authoritarians, I think.
This LGBTQ suicide cult.
See, you have to play by their rules and then beat them at their own game.
And I think if that's what he's doing, it's a master class in what we should be doing here in America, too.
And across the world, wherever you're at, if you're facing that kind of stuff.
Okay, in other news, speaking of this monster here, this Fetterman dude, he is actually going out.
Democrat Fetterman is agreeing that LGBTQ education should be mandatory for children in all schools.
Oy yoy yoy, watch this.
Would you support the Department of Education making it mandatory in all schools for LGBTQ education?
I'm sorry, I didn't hear the last part of that.
Would you be supportive of legislation that makes it mandatory for LGBTQ education in our schools, for history, literature, science, and so on?
I'm for as many perspectives in letting everybody be included, because we're all part of America, and we all have history, and that should be a part of American history, because you are a part of America in these communities.
Okay, and apparently he said, I want LGBTQ education to be mandatory in all schools, I guess.
Yeah, sounds great, guys.
Go vote for that person.
Not really.
No, that guy's crazy, and he's just a leftist beyond leftist.
And the thing is, if you've heard his speeches, we've featured him here on the show before.
The guy can barely speak.
He can't even hold together a cogent thought.
And it's amazing that they're trying to convince us that he is going to be the governor of, or excuse me, I think it's the Senate he's running for, but...
Yeah, Senate.
The senator for the state of Pennsylvania, that'll be it.
The guy who can't even...
He's so seemingly incompetent and unable to confer ideas that he can't even go into debate against his opponent, which you know that is Dr.
Oz, Dr.
Mehmet Oz, which I don't know if that's much better, but better than that person, I guess.
Speaking of crazy things happening, Air Force is telling cisgender men not to apply for new internship.
Yep, that's happening.
Just don't even apply.
If you're a cisgender man, get out of here.
Disgust me.
Wokefication of our military is pretty disturbing.
Speaking of crazy gay things, Joe Biden wrapped his arms around Elton John and then tells the crowd it's all his fault that we're spending $6 billion on HIV and AIDS this month.
And then everybody clapped.
Let's watch.
By the way, it's all his fault that we're spending $6 billion in taxpayer money this month to help AIDS fight HIV AIDS. Well, my first question is, how many people has Elton John given AIDS to?
No, I don't know.
I'm joking.
That's funny.
Okay.
There's that.
He's like, oh, this is the reason we're going to raise people.
They take money.
He's like, oh, yay, the gay man.
We're so happy.
Rocket man.
Here's one.
Anti-gun activist David Hogg has said that he won't procreate.
He said he'd rather get a Porsche.
Thank you.
Good job, Dave.
I'll support that.
Go get yourself a Porsche, David.
You deserve one for whatever you do.
But don't have kids if you don't want to because it'd be good for the rest of us, right?
Good for society as a whole to have less David Hoggs running around, right?
And I say that with just the most love I can bear.
Planned Parenthood quietly edits its website now to call a baby's heartbeat cardiac activity.
Yeah, it's not a heartbeat.
It's cardiac activity, guys, because they're trying to dehumanize this baby so that they can kill it, which is sad.
And that is disturbing.
It's very sad, actually.
But with that being said, I know this is a little bit quick for the episode, but it's Saturday, so we're going to go through this quick.
We're already at the end.
Now we're going to do our God's Graces Greater segment where we're going to talk about the scripture.
We're going through the book of Matthew.
We're starting chapter 22.
We're going through the whole gospel of Matthew.
Now today, this is a continuation from yesterday.
Yesterday, we were given the parable of the vineyard owner.
And basically, Jesus is admonishing and telling the scribes, the chief priests and the Pharisees, why that they are, you know, how they are violating God's will against him.
And he's giving them parables so they understand it.
And in the last one, the chief priests and the Pharisees understood that they were the villains of that parable, if you will, in the previous one.
And again, Jesus is going to go on further telling them Another parable to explain to them what they are doing to Him and what the Kingdom of Heaven is like.
So let's read it.
We're going to read 1-16 in chapter 22 of Matthew.
So let's read.
Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables.
The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.
He sent out his slaves to summon those invited to the banquet, but they didn't want to come.
Again, he sent out other slaves and said, Tell those who are invited, Look, I've prepared my dinner.
My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered and everything is ready.
come to the wedding banquet.
But they paid no attention and went away, one to his own farm, another to his business, and the other seized his slaves, treated them outrageously, and killed them.
The king was enraged, so he sent out his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned down their city.
Then he told his slaves, the banquet is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
Therefore, go to where the roads exit the city and invite everyone you find to the banquet.
So those slaves went out on the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good.
The wedding banquet was filled with guests, but when the king came in to view the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed for a wedding.
So he said to them, or said to him, friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?
The man was speechless.
Then the king told the attendants, tie him up in hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
For many are invited, but few are chosen.
wow Wow.
So again, Jesus is going on and explaining to the chief priests what the kingdom of heaven is like.
And there's a few things we can take away from this story, the parable here.
The first one is that Jesus is telling us about this king who's having a wedding banquet.
And back in that day, you know, the king was honored by the guests who came.
And if he sent his messengers, his servants, to invite you, if you deny that invite, you're dishonoring the king.
And so, in this parable, some of the slaves said, you know, I don't want to come.
I'm going to stay at my farm.
I'm going to go to my business.
And then others actually took his slaves, seized them, and treated them outrageously and killed them.
Now, who are these people that refuse to come to the king's banquet?
Well, in this parable, this is Israel.
These are the chief priests and the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin and all those who are rejecting the Messiah.
So that's what Jesus is explaining to them in this parable.
So then, and this is the kingdom of heaven, right?
So the king is God, and then God, I guess, turns around in this parable and says, alright, well, Israel has rejected me, meaning the Messiah, Jesus.
So what does he do?
He says, alright, well, bring in everybody off the street.
Bring in everyone, right?
And now that's a reference to the kingdom of heaven being extended to the Gentiles, right?
To us, to those who were not Jewish by birth, and saying that the kingdom of heaven, since he was rejected in this parable, the king was rejected, he was treated terribly, his servants were killed, that he then says the kingdom of heaven is for all in this parable.
And when the slaves go out in the streets and gather everybody into the kingdom, to the king's banquet, this wedding banquet, which, you know, is a banquet in those days could go on for days and they would eat and drink and have, you know, parties and kind of have a celebration, right?
And that is supposed to be like the kingdom of heaven.
And...
Then essentially what happens is the king, you know, usually there's different ways it's interpreted, but in this sense it says something a little different than other interpretations.
But essentially if you went to the king's banquet for his wedding or wedding banquet, then you would be given robes to wear, garments, right?
And they would be, you know, kind of ceremonial garments and they're meant to honor God.
And in this case the king realizes there's somebody there who doesn't have the garments on.
He says, what are you doing here?
How did you get in?
And the guy didn't know what to say, and so he bounds him and throws him out.
Now, that's to represent in this parable, I believe, that everybody will be welcomed into the kingdom, but not all will be chosen, and not all will live and believe in Christ truly.
So, as it says at the end, it says, Jesus is telling us through this parable that the kingdom of heaven is for all and everyone is invited, but if you don't believe in Jesus, if you don't accept him as your savior, if you don't do these things that are necessary to inherit the kingdom of God and this eternal salvation that's been bought and paid for with the blood of Christ,
you're not going to make it either, just like the unbelieving Pharisees and chief priests and others who denied Jesus, Israel who had denied Jesus.
So there is, to me, A lot to take away from this parable, but mostly it's just understanding that the kingdom of heaven is for all, and we are called to it by Christ.
But we have to understand in our hearts that we must accept Jesus as our Savior, or else even if we...
We're not going fully to God, and God will not accept us into his kingdom according to Jesus unless we accept Jesus as our Messiah.
And that was the message he was trying to teach to these chief priests and these Pharisees at the time of him giving this parable.
I think it's just a powerful lesson for us all.
So I hope that this gave you a better understanding of this parable, and we're going to get into some more parables and more of Matthew in the next episode, which will be on Monday.
So I hope you guys go out and have a great weekend.
We're going to go ahead and wrap it up with a little bit of prayer, and then we'll wrap it up.
Lord and Heavenly Father.
Help us know in our hearts what your kingdom truly is.
Help us see that we have to accept Jesus in our hearts first and foremost to gain that kingdom that's been given us and let us enjoy the wedding banquet to be a part of that kingdom and honor you and bring as many as we can with us knowing that as many as we can bring Only you will be able to know who can come and who can stay, Lord.
But Lord, help us in our hearts accept you fully and live lives righteously for you and do whatever we need to do, Lord, to become a part of your kingdom.
Whatever that is in our lives, Lord, whatever we're missing, help us find that void and fill it.
And Lord, just help us humble ourselves before you and honor you in everything that we do as we thank you for this day and every day and most of all our eternal salvation.
In Jesus' name, amen.
