Thank you.
Alright, sorry about that.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Back in the studio, so I have to get things set up again.
Let me just double check and make sure we have sound on everything else.
Well, that's not good that we got started off to a bumpy start here, but let's see if we have sound on the audio.
Alright, good.
Okay, guys.
So, like I was saying, hi and welcome to another episode of Just Informed News.
I'm your host, Craig.
Today we have a big show for you.
I'm sorry for the audio mishap, but we're going to be talking about this bombing campaign that happened all over Ukraine.
Russia responding to the terrorist attack on that bridge in Crimea.
And you're going to see this, and just to go over it again...
This massive bombing campaign that targeted the presidential office in Ukraine's capital, Kiev, and Zelensky was rushed down to a bunker.
We're going to talk about that, plus a bunch of other stuff.
So now that we've got the sound working, let's just jump right into it.
And I apologize again for that, guys.
But here it is.
I want to let you guys know about the sponsor of this show, and that is Noble Gold.
If you don't know, is investing in silver today a good idea?
Colin Plume from our friends at Noble Gold thinks so on the national desk.
He explains there had been huge sell-offs of silver because of its low price right now.
Silver is the most useful industrial metal out there, and demand is soaring for electronics and electric cars and solar panel circuits as the green agenda speeds up.
As industries pick up after the pandemic, supply chain issues, the trend down should reverse quickly, and silver will rocket.
Don't miss this.
Give the team at Noble Gold a call and join thousands of others who have taken advantage of this blip in the market.
They'll guide you through the process and make it easy for you, and this month you'll get a stunning 3-ounce silver American virtue coin with a qualified IRA of $20,000 or higher.
You can't go wrong with Noble Gold.
The safest place to put your money right now.
Call the team at 877-646-5347 to find out more.

That's noblegoldinvestments.com.
And remember, there's always a risk of loss, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
Okay, so thank you to Noble Gold for sponsoring this episode.
Let's just get into the first story right here.
Russia unleashes hell on Ukrainian targets, including Kiev.
Power outages are being reported in several cities as Ukraine hit with over 70 missile attacks.
Ukraine poked the Russian bear on Saturday by blowing up the Kirch Bridge from Russia to Crimea.
According to Russian news agency TASS, an explosion occurred in early Saturday morning on one of Putin's prestige projects and Europe's longest bridge, which connects Russia and Crimea.
Thank you to Noble Gold for sponsoring this episode.
An object believed to be a fuel storage tank has caught fire on the Crimean Bridge, but the viaduct's navigable arches sustained no damage and aid to the head of Crimea, Oleg Kriyashkov, said on Saturday.
So in response to this, we have a massive bombing campaign all over what we're seeing now in Ukraine.
Ukraine was hit with 70 Russian missile attacks.
And that's a map here laying this out in response to this Crimean bridge.
And some interesting things to note about it.
You have people who are celebrating this as the Ukrainian government came out and basically celebrated it.
You had makeup companies that were going to look at announcing they're going to launch lines of makeup based on the attack on the bridge.
bridge.
You had people posting in front of pictures of the bridge on fire.
And Ukrainians were very proud that this had happened.
And they saw it as an attack on Russia or a counterattack on Russia, whatever you want to call it.
So Russia was not very happy as they consider Crimea and those parts of former Ukraine to be a part of Russia now.
So they saw it as a terrorist attack on Russia.
Vladimir Putin was very clear on that.
And yeah, let's go ahead and watch him explain what he thinks about their actions.
Kyiv's regime with their actions practically put on one desk with international terrorist formations, with the most odious groups.
That is why it is not possible to leave a response to such a way.
Today morning, according to the Minister of the Obesity and General Staff of Russia, there was a mass attack with the very high altitude of the air, of the air there was a mass attack with the very high altitude of the air, of
In case of continuing attempts to be carried out on our territory, the response from Russia will be strong and, by their scale, will correspond to the level of threats, created by the Federation.
So, Vladimir Putin is serious, saying that the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge is something that cannot be left unresponded to.
So, he has launched this massive offensive.
Here are just some of the videos that are coming in from Ukraine today.
Let's watch a few of them right here.
They're pretty intense.
This is one with no sound.
But you can see it's a truck driving down a road here in Kiev.
Or somewhere in Ukraine.
I don't know if this one's in Kiev.
We'll have one from Kiev that I'll show you in a minute.
But you see that missile?
Holy crap.
Look at that.
Could you imagine?
These are targeted attacks on infrastructure, it seems, in response to them going after a bridge.
You can see this is like a power, some sort of power facility, but you can even see right here.
I mean, look, you can see the missile coming in.
They're saying these are very targeted attacks.
Precision strikes.
Yeah, that looks like a precision strike to me.
It looks like it went right into a power facility that would be, you know, them basically making a statement that if you're going to take out our infrastructure, we'll take out yours.
And you can see it explodes and they keep driving.
You know, he stops for a minute and then kind of goes on and pretty insane, right?
I don't think there's any more in this video.
Yeah, I don't think there's any more in that one.
But there's other videos too.
Look at this.
This is another video of a strike here in Ukraine.
One person takes out their cell phone and videotape.
This is what I believe is a geothermal power plant.
There was a target.
One explosion here and then you're going to see another one.
Okay, so yeah, you can see they turn as they see another missile coming in you can see they turn as they see another missile coming You can actually see, you can hear it, but you can kind of see right there.
You can see it, but not really in the freeze frame here.
Yeah, there it is.
You can see the missiles right there flying into another target here near this geothermal plant.
Okay!
Russia is targeting them.
That's one other one, and then there's another one here.
Supposedly this video is from Kiev, and you'll see exactly what happens in Kiev.
Apparently part of this was targeting, according to this article, Russia destroyed Zelensky's office in a bombing campaign after a Crimean bridge attack.
Apparently Zelensky's office has reportedly been destroyed, and this was following the attack on the bridge, and this was part of the bombing campaign itself.
Here is the actual...
What they say is a part of the, essentially what they say is a part of the video where you see, let me pull it up here, maybe possibly Zelensky's office in Ukraine explode.
Let's watch.
Damn!
I apologize if they're cursing in Russian or Ukrainian, but yeah.
One more!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Damn!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Right.
It's a normal reaction to your city being bombed by the Russians, I guess.
They seem to be...
It's like a video game, you know?
It's the normalcy bias.
They still think it can't happen to them.
Oh, those bombs are over there.
They're not going to hit my building.
I should probably just stand here with my phone, stick it out the window, and express all of my...
Just a surprise and shock at what's happening.
Yeah, it's pretty insane.
This is a video camera moment that the bridge was attacked.
Let's watch.
Or no, this is the freedom arch in Ukraine.
Let's watch.
Yeah.
So, apparently that's another video of something exploding in Ukraine, the Arch of Freedom near Ukraine.
There's plenty of more videos of explosions.
Please, please.
Take care.
So you can see it's pretty amazingly incredible what they've done there.
It's pretty crazy, right?
So now Ukraine's Zelenskyy is calling on NATO to launch preemptive strikes against Russia to eliminate the possibility of a Russian nuclear strike.
So, that was from October 6th, but still remains the same that that's what they're calling for.
They want us to go to all-out war with Russia over this, and I'm just not seeing it.
So, essentially, what you're seeing is the escalation of warfare in that region.
And, guys, you've got to remember, this is a proxy war.
Russia is fully aware that this is a proxy war with NATO, which is a proxy war with the United States and Germany.
And, I mean, all I can say is that at this point, if you're not prepared, I'd get prepared.
Because it's only a matter of time before this all goes way off the rails.
It's already getting there, but it's going to be there, I think.
And we should just keep praying, not only for ourselves and those who we love, but we should be praying for all the people involved in this.
The people who are in the crossfire, the people who are just the collateral damage, even the people who are making these decisions to do these horrendous things and have these awful battles.
We've got to put God at the forefront of all of this because we don't want to see this war escalate into what we think it could.
And that is a total, just very disastrous escalation.
So speaking of how it's escalating, part of the Russian strikes hit German consulate building in Ukraine's capital.
And now Germany is coming out and saying this is unacceptable.
So talk about, you know, really escalating tensions here.
You're hitting the German consulate building in Ukraine.
So there is no safe space in Ukraine anymore.
So I'll just put it out there that this is something we have to be aware of.
As we have this, another interesting story.
I'm not sure if this is true or not, but this is being reported on social media.
Ukraine's Lamel cosmetics brand a couple of days ago announced the release of a new lineup of makeup products to celebrate the bombing of the Crimean Bridge.
Today, Lamel's warehouse in Kiev has been destroyed by a Russian cruise missile.
Wow.
Well, I guess you get what you asked for in that case.
I'm not going to say that they should be bombing cosmetics warehouses, but you guys know they were hiding all types of things inside of different supposed factories and things, so who knows what's actually in there.
But the fact that they were going to make this, and it doesn't seem like Russia's going to be taking it, so there's that.
And then I just want to point this out.
This was just being reported about an hour ago that Biden has promised Ukraine's Zelensky now advanced air defense systems after the Russian attacks earlier today.
So this is really dangerous, guys, if you think about it.
If Biden's going to be giving these advanced air defense systems to Ukraine now, that's just another escalation of the war, I think.
You know, if you can't understand how this escalates things, you have to understand that, you know, these are weapon systems that are going to inflict Russia or damage on Russia's capability to win this war.
And if you think Russia is just going to back down and be like, oh, well, OK, I'm sorry, I guess we won't bomb them anymore.
Then you're you're very mistaken.
And if you don't think this if you think that this can't go outside the borders of Ukraine, I hate to say it, but I think it's going to.
And I'm not trying to fearmonger, but I'm just telling you what I think is coming down the pipeline.
So let's just keep praying for all of this.
He's saying that the U.S. will continue to impose costs on Russia for this.
So that's coming from Reuters here.
Biden's condemning Russian missile strikes and saying the U.S. will continue to impose costs.
Oh, because our costs have been working so well up to this point, right?
I don't know.
The risk of nuclear Armageddon is at its highest level since the 1962 missile crisis, as Russian officials speak of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in Ukraine.
So look, I'm not telling you guys anything that you don't know, but this is rapidly escalating.
I'm very concerned and worried for not only our nation, but the world at large.
And I think the internet has made the world so small now that it is only a matter of time before this conflict goes well beyond the borders of Ukraine.
If it hasn't already, it'll manifest itself in things like cyber attacks and other strategic targeted attacks.
And I think we have to be vigilant and aware and understand that we're walking a dangerous line right now.
And we have very corrupt and possibly senile leadership who are being controlled by very nefarious and evil forces who would love nothing more than to have a chance to use their multi-million and billion dollar nuclear bunkers while we sit on the surface and get basically fried and blown out of existence.
So they can come up and start again with the AI as their systems guide to how to reprogram humanity at large.
And it's just going to be a great excuse for them to cut out the internet, to get rid of freedom of speech, to take away more of our freedoms, to put us in a wartime stance that, you know, what happens in war?
You have conscription, which is like the draft, people being drafted.
You have wartime measures.
You have the limiting of freedoms.
And this is all going to come under the guise of, oh, well, we're at war.
So you can't say what you want online anymore.
You have no more freedom of speech.
The Constitution's been suspended.
It's martial law now.
We're going to lock you in this camp for your own good.
Oh, you have some Russian blood in your family line?
Oh, well then you need to go to this internment camp that we just built.
Oh, you went to Moscow once?
Okay.
Or whatever it is, right?
It's just going to be the continuous destruction of freedom in America and across the world.
As we're seeing globally right now, we've seen it escalating quicker and quicker.
But never forget, I mean...
This was only, what, 10 or 20 years ago?
15 years, a little more than that, years ago in Iraq?
This is the United States.
Does it look a little similar to what we're seeing in Ukraine right now?
now you tell me Beneath all of this emergency teams race across the city
*Metal Guns*
Yeah, I just want to say that if you guys don't know, that's Operation Iraqi Freedom.
We brought them a heck of a lot of freedom vis-a-vis all those missiles and cruise missiles and bombs that we shot into their country and destroyed everything they were building because they wouldn't sign on with the petrodollar and Saddam Hussein had plans of his own with oil and what he was going to do with it.
Kind of similar to what Gaddafi had when he was saying he was going to create a gold-backed currency for the entire continent of Africa, and then he was summarily taken out.
And now in Ukraine, you have Russia basically looking at NATO and seeing NATO as the same threat that we saw any Middle Eastern country that threatened to go off of the petrodollar to threaten its reserve currency status.
Russia sees the expansion of NATO in the same way, and especially after what we saw with COVID and all of the bio labs and all of the information that was seized there.
It's going to be a tough time for us all, you know, I think if we don't understand what's going on here.
So...
But remember, our military is just worried about inclusivity, you know?
Because guess what?
They just came out today and put out this report.
Let me see if I can find it here.
This is pretty insane, actually.
Oh, let me find this.
Yeah, okay.
So here it is.
Here's the report, and then I'll play you the video clip from what they're saying here.
But the U.S. military says it will still draft male to female trans women, but will not draft female to male trans men.
So essentially what they're saying is if you're a man, you're going to get drafted whether you put a wig on or not.
And if you're a woman, just because you cut your hair short doesn't mean you're going to be drafted.
So apparently the military still believes in genders, the two-gender binary system, which is just biological fact, but they will allow you to wear your dress or wig or whatever, and that's totally fine, as long as you go fight on the front line for them.
Here is the military responding.
This is the defense secretary, I believe, responding to this exact question.
And one more thing, Haley, I would emphasize is I think more broadly in terms of soldiers coming from marginalized communities or demographics that are not widely represented in the Army, that's part of why we got to emphasize positive command climates and inclusion.
We get criticized, frankly, sometimes for being woke I'm not sure what woke means.
I think woke means a lot of different things to different people.
But first of all, I would say if woke means, you know, we are not focused on warfighting, we are not focused on readiness, that doesn't reflect what I see at installations all around the country or overseas when I go and visit.
But I think, you know, we do have a wide range of soldiers in our Army, and we've got to make them all feel included.
And that's why a lot of our diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are important.
Yeah, you know, diversity and inclusion programs are important because we've got to make people feel included.
You'll be included in the draft, don't worry.
They'll be very inclusive with that, I'm sure.
So let's go through a few other stories here.
Hold on.
Let me see if I can pull one up.
Actually, you know what?

Representative Lee Selden, who's running for the New York governor's position, governorship, has bullets landing outside of his house.
Showing you where New York is now.
And I just wanted to bring up this story because it tells you the state of affairs in our country right now where you have this man who's running.
He's already had threats.
He's been involved in other threats on his life.
A guy tried to stab him in the neck on stage yesterday.
He has gunshots happening outside.
And it tells you the state of affairs of this country if you just look at these major cities and how they're being run.
So, I look at that as an indicator that it's a good possibility that he will win.
And, yeah, let me know what you think in the comments.
I'd love to hear it.
Another story here.
Bill Gates Foundation has donated $200 million to expand digital surveillance systems.
Really?
Really?
According to this report, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $1.27 billion to advance progress toward the global goals during the United Nations General Assembly last month with $200 million going toward development of an invasive global digital ID system.
You guys do know that that's the kind of system they're trying to bring into existence across the world is the global surveillance system that is basically mirroring the system that you see in China where you have your social credit score and you are essentially...
Welcome to my show!
I would say we need to be aware of that and probably take that very seriously.
But on top of that, you have the Marvel comic series.
Now, shilling for Pfizer vaccines with COVID vaccine adventures, PSA comic book.
I bring this up because it reminds me of back in the day.
This is what it looks like here.
Everyday heroes, take your vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech.
It reminds me of back in the day when...
If you guys ever watch older shows or you ever learn about the history of older TV shows on network TV, there was this common practice where, like...
Major brands would do collaborations just like they do today with TV shows to have their products and do product placement.
But this reminds me of back in the day when tobacco companies would essentially get the TV shows to have their actors smoke their brand of cigarettes and then say something like, I like lucky brand cigarettes.
It's healthy.
Four out of five doctors say it's the best cigarette for your lungs.
That's what this reminds me of today.
I think that's where we're at societally and it's really sad.
That's exactly what it reminds me of.
Big tobacco when they used to pay for the advertising to get it into the things.
This is the same thing, the programming people to take this vaccine.
God help us all.
New photos are emerging showing the Democrat Katie Hobbs embracing slavery in high school where students led shackled students by collar and chain.
Okay, Arizona Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs, who's running against Carrie Lake, enjoyed slave day at her high school.
Yeah, totally normal.
Now, if you think about it, this reminds me exactly of the former governor, I believe, Ralph Northam, in his blackface slash KKK robe, you know, yearbook photos.
And if anything, this should give her a boost with the Democrats because they love racism, right?
Speaking of racism, BLM founder Patrice Cullors spends tens of thousands of dollars renovating her backyard in her $1 million home.
Or, excuse me, $1.4 million home.
You know, inflation.
This is insane.
Sharon Osbourne apparently is demanding a refund of the $900,000 she donated to Black Lives Matter.
As you see them, you know, just flagrantly wasting the money and doing whatever they want with it.
So, you know, just remember, your money is being put toward a good cause if you donate to BLM. Now,
according to this story, Shanti de Corte Who lives in Brussels, or lives in Belgium, was at the Brussels airport when an ISIS terrorist detonated a bomb.
She wasn't hurt.
She wasn't injured in the attacks, but she suffered repeated panic attacks and depression in the years following the attacks.
She attempted suicide twice and repeatedly posted about her mental health struggles on social media.
And after all of that, at 23 years old, she chose to be euthanized in Belgium, where it's legal.
Now, I only bring this story up because this is where they want to drive us all, guys.
My humble opinion, I do believe that this is where they want us to go.
And then they're going to normalize euthanization, right?
Because you're depressed and you're sad and the world's not going the way you want it to.
And this is a terrible story because I feel terrible for this human who lost her life to this sadness and depression and then they facilitated it.
But then they're going to try to make it sexy, which is why they want us to live in this metaverse because they're going to say...
Just get rid of that body and upload yourself to the metaverse.
Your consciousness will live on forever.
Not your soul.
Your consciousness, you know, just kind of a robot of what you kind of are like, will live on forever.
You know?
Sad.
Sad the direction our world's going.
Speaking of which, here's another one.
Everybody thinks it's fake, but they could be casting any type of spell.
A Texas Christian mom warns Disney's Hocus Pocus 2 could open the gates of hell into their home.
Now, in this, basically this is crazy, but what they're saying...
I'll just play this clip because I think it's very, very...
Look, people say that the devil's not real and all this evil's not real, the demons aren't real.
It's all real.
And this is the incantations.
If you guys look at the history of where these terms come from, like Hollywood, television, television, Hollywood, it's from the druids.
It's all about casting spells, demonic witchcraft that they all engage in.
And then they normalize it, and then they make it trivial, and then they make you kind of, you're unaware of it, and then they can do things to you with it.
And if you think I'm crazy, that's fine, but evil is real, and it exists, and this is another incantation of it, and this is it.
A worst case scenario is that you unleash hell on your kids and in your home.
Jamie Gooch is a mother of three and the owner of Gooch Family Farms in Troy.
I love everything to do with house and home.
I believe everything starts here.
This time of year, fall harvest is heavily celebrated in their household, but Halloween is not.
It grieves me, the thought of exposing our kids to darkness.
Gooch says there's a spiritual war being waged against homes in America, and Hollywood is part of the problem, and right now, one film in particular.
The whole movie is based on witches harvesting children for blood sacrifices.
In a recent Facebook post...
I was a little bit scared when I hit post because I was afraid of the reaction that I would get.
Gooch advises moms against letting their kids watch Hocus Pocus 2.
I believe whatever comes in our TV screens, there are things attached to that.
I've seen for myself the things that I've watched with my eyes or heard over a TV screen, they become manifested in real life.
Everybody thinks it's fake and innocent, but they could be casting any type of spell that they want to.
Anything could be coming through that TV screen into your home.
We have to steal their souls.
She says most of the feedback has been positive, but she knows her opinion isn't for everyone.
And that's okay.
She says it's healthy to stir up conversations, just not cauldrons.
How do you feel?
How do you respond to people who are going to say, you're crazy?
It's just a movie.
It's all good fun.
It has been and always has been.
Then the post was not for you.
The post was for people that have been on the fence on the decisions they need to make for their family.
While Gooch's opinion may not be the most fun, she says if putting it out there changes even one person's mind, it was worth it.
I think at the end of the day, I want people to walk away with discernment.
If you're watching this, just start thinking.
Start thinking for yourself and even overthink and consider all the options of what you're partaking in.
Yeah, I wanted to share that because I thought it was just a reasonable response to what you're seeing in this world that is so fallen.
And don't think that these things are harmless and meaningless.
They do have a certain power, and that's what you have to be aware of.
So always put God first, and don't let this stuff in your home.
Don't let it around your family, your kids, your friends, your spouse.
Whatever.
Don't let it around you.
Because it is evil.
And look at these people.
I mean, you don't think these women, you know, harvesting kids' blood for blood sacrifice.
It's like, uh, okay.
Yeah, we probably shouldn't be pushing that on our kids.
But hey, what do I know?
Right?
Anyway, there is some other good news, though, to share, and that is the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I told you today for our God's Grace's Greater segment, we're doing the Parable of the Talents.
We're going to read through it, Matthew 25, verse 14, and we're going to read all the way up to verse 30.
And we're going to talk about what this really means.
So let's go ahead and read through it.
It says, For it is just like a man going on a journey.
He called his own slaves and turned over his possessions to them.
To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own ability.
Then he went on a journey.
Immediately the man who had received the five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more.
In the same way, the man with two earned two more.
But the man who had received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.
After a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, Master, you gave me five talents.
Look, I've earned five more talents.
His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful slave.
You are faithful over a few things.
I will put you in charge of many things.
Share your master's joy.
Then the man with two talents also approached and said, Master, you gave me two talents, he said.
Look, I've earned two more talents.
His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful slave.
If you are faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things.
Share your master's joy.
Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, Master, I know you are a difficult man, reaping where you haven't sown, and gathering where you haven't scattered seeds.
So I was afraid, and went off and hid your talent in the ground.
Look, you have what is yours.
But his master replied to him, You evil, lazy slave.
If you knew that I reap where I haven't sown, and gather where I haven't gathered, or scattered, then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and when I returned, I would receive, or would have received my money back with interest.
So take my talent back, or take my talent from, or excuse me, so take the talent from him, and give it to the one who has ten.
For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than...
Wow.
So we're going through Jesus basically giving these comparisons to his disciples about what the kingdom of heaven is like, right?
And in the first one we did the parable of the ten virgins where he talks about being prepared for the kingdom of heaven in this time of waiting in between the first and the second coming, which is where I think we're at.
Jesus already came once and he will come again, but that time is going to be a long time.
And in the first part of this, it's telling us about that time period and how it's going to be a long time.
Because it talks about a man going on a journey who called his slaves to turn over his possessions to them.
And he had three slaves and he gave one five, one two, and one one talent.
And these talents are meant to represent essentially what they would be a representation of is opportunities God gives people to serve him, including their wealth, their reputation, their abilities, and their learning.
Because this parable ultimately is warning believers diligently to take everything that God gives us and invest it for his glory as we await the second coming of Christ.
Right?
So, you saw what happened throughout the parable.
The three did separate things.
The first two, who got the five and the two, went out and took what talents they were given and they multiplied them for the Master.
The third took and hid what he had because he was afraid.
Now, this is a parable, I think, teaching us that God will be very satisfied if we take what he gives us and then use it to multiply his kingdom.
But if we take it and we just hide and we're fearful because we don't know what's going to happen and we don't embrace life as a whole, then God will be disappointed with us.
And I know myself, I fall short probably in this way a lot.
I don't know about you, but I want to be able to take the talents I have and give them to God fully.
And I want to get better at that every single day.
And the last servant who took the one talent and dug a hole and hid it, he was fearing God.
But he wasn't fearing God in the way that we're meant to fear God, I think.
I think he was fearing for God as if he was going to, his fear for what God had in store for him, he was going to help God and save God from his own, you know, not knowing what he was going to do.
That's kind of what the servant is saying to the master in this parable.
He says, look, I know you do a lot of crazy things.
I know you scatter seeds some places and you're not sure where it's going to come up.
So I went and hid your talent.
So that I could give it back to you.
But the master says, I don't want you to do that.
That's lazy.
That's not furthering the kingdom of God.
He was pleased with the first two servants who took the talents that God gave them and multiplied them to help spread the kingdom and make the kingdom greater.
And for that, they were rewarded by the master.
In this case, that would be God.
And when Jesus comes back...
So, in the same way, we shouldn't fear God in the sense that, oh, we have to save for you, God.
I have to do this for you, God.
We have to fear in joyful reverence of God.
That would be the better way to look at what fearing God is, in my opinion.
Meaning, we have to understand not only that we should fear God in the sense that He can have wrath against those who stand against Him, but we should also have joyful reverence toward God in His great kingdom and how magnificent it is and take what little we have in this little time we have here and multiply it to help others and do great things for Him to further His kingdom.
So I think that's what this parable is talking about, and I think that's what Jesus is getting at here.
So I hope that that helps everybody understand exactly what you guys think about all of this and what this is actually all about.
So I appreciate all of you guys watching and listening to this episode, and we're going to go ahead and wrap it up with a prayer, and then we'll wrap it up from there.
Dear Lord and Heavenly Father, thank you so much for all of your great blessings and gifts.
Lord, I pray that you'll be with all those out there who are given great talents from God to help them use them to honor God and worship God and to spread his kingdom out into the world and to live with God in our hearts but also bring his gospel to others and the joy that God brings us help bring it to others as well.
Lord, I pray that all of us, including myself, who sometimes fall short of this, that you'll help us see how to become better in that way, and that you'll just bless us, Lord, and show us the way forward.
We thank you for every blessing, Lord, you have given us, and we thank you for every day, every moment, and most of all, our eternal salvation that we pray in thanks of through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
