Alex Jones Has Shocking Revelation… Is The Devil Here?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Clean Slate is an initiative that we're starting, and I ask that you consider joining us.
If you go to my Instagram or my Twitter right now, everything is gone.
There needs to be a change of course before we get to the point that there's no turning back.
A lot of the things that we discuss, the artificial machine would tell you, you don't want to see it.
I don't agree.
I'm going to see you on the 22nd.
Gerald apologizes apologetics.
It doesn't mean that!
Alright Mud Club, hey, everybody, thank you for joining us for Gerald apologizes, apologetics.
It doesn't quite mean what they say that it means.
I understand that.
They just do that to kind of, I don't know, punk me because we spend all this money on the intros for everybody else, but not for me.
That's fine.
That's fine.
I'll get over it.
I'll be okay.
Don't worry about me.
I had an interesting conversation back in June with our guest today and it was very quick on the show and we started talking about demons and the Mark of the Beast and I was like, huh, that's eschatology.
I'm very interested in that.
And so Alex Jones, I thought I'd come down here and hang out in your world and we could continue our conversation.
I think it literally lasted maybe 60 seconds.
On air.
And we didn't really get into it a whole lot.
Captain Morgan, you are now promoted to Admiral Morgan.
Admiral Morgan.
Sitting in this chair is a little weird.
I mean, it's like, huh, this is kind of a nice place.
I like it.
I've seen this on the air.
I love you and Steven's studio.
You've got to get Steven back down there sometime.
I know.
One of these days we're going to get him in the car.
We've done shows out on the street together, but never in the studio.
I remember that.
You said something about Bumpiss, I believe, being...
I actually did throw up, it was so gross.
So is it just the smell of that?
Yeah, just the smell of it.
Or the thought.
And I was extremely hungover that day, too, so let's not lie.
No, I mean, I'm a layperson when it comes to end-of-the-world type stuff, but I did go to a lot of church, a lot of Sunday school.
I have read the Bible quite a bit.
I know there's massive amounts of study.
I mean, you could have five degrees in it and never know half of it, but my grandfather My mother's father was really heavily into it, studied the Bible, Daniel and Ezekiel and Revelation pretty much like five hours a day.
He was really smart and quite the historian.
He'd been a successful inventor, a lot of other things.
But the last 20 years of his life, he's dedicated to studying the Bible.
I remember him like Breaking down the New World Order and global government.
They'd have a computer and that would control everybody and you'd have to do what they said or you wouldn't get the mark.
He would always explain, you don't just take it and then it's because you've taken it that you're gonna go to hell.
It's that taking it you have to submit and worship and follow the whole system.
So he would basically rant, kind of like Alex Jones, almost like he was my grandfather.
He would look like me.
Just about this all the time and I would You'll come and visit him in the summers, and then I moved down there when I was a senior in high school, started hanging out with him and my grandmother almost every week.
What years, roughly, what decade was this?
I was, I graduated out of high school in 92.
Okay.
And so I moved here like in 1991.
And so my grandparents lived here.
Yeah.
And he was just really big into eschatology.
And so that, I mean, I heard a lot from him.
Well, the church used to be really big into it, and that's why I was really asking that.
Because back in the 1980s, I mean, there was a lot of fire and brimstone preaching, and a part of that was telling the end of the story.
So let me just tell the guys listening and gals right now, we're talking about the end times.
So eschatology is kind of the study of the end times.
And just so you understand what that is, if Genesis is kind of telling the beginning of the story, which it obviously is, Revelation and some of the prophetic literature leading up to that is really telling you how things come to an end.
And some of the things that Alex just said would have just been in the 1960s, 1950s, 40s, 1800s.
You're crazy.
There's no way any of that stuff could happen, but obviously we see a lot of it happening today, and so people are very interested.
It's apocalyptic.
Anytime you see a History Channel show that talks about the apocalypse or something like that, people tune in because they're like, oh, there's something that draws us in to want to know a little bit more.
And this subject is debated quite a bit, right?
We were talking just a second ago about mid-trib, pre-trib, post-trib, no-trib, whatever.
There are a lot of different reasons for you to care about this, right?
We'll dive into just a very basic framework of what we're talking about, and then we're going to talk about specific segments, specifically 666, the Mark of the Beast, how that's being potentially implemented today, and how you can make sure that you don't accidentally do that.
You can't.
That's kind of the trick to it.
You can't accidentally take the Mark of the Beast, but we're going to hit a few more points.
Maybe something that most people don't know is that for every prophecy on the first coming of Christ, which that is the Messiah, that is for the Jews, that's it, right?
They were waiting for and looking for and desperately hoping for Messiah to come.
For every prophecy on the Bible about Messiah's first coming, there are roughly eight concerning the second coming.
There's eight more than the first coming, right?
So it's multiple times more mentioned in the Bible and a lot of people don't really take a lot of time to understand those prophecies or to really kind of think through it.
They do take time to go, revelation's tough to understand.
Revelation's difficult because there's all this imagery that's being used and there's all this flowery language that I don't really understand.
And we'll get into why some Christians have a bit of a problem with that.
But it's important for you to know because God spent about eight times the time speaking about the second coming than he did the first coming.
And obviously the first one was a big deal because it kind of saved people.
Without the first coming, the second coming doesn't really quite matter that much because we would all be under judgment and I wouldn't want to be around for that anyway.
But I guess my big question, Alex, is Why?
What made you start?
So you talked about it a little bit.
Was your grandfather, you said?
Yes.
So other than that, was there any influence or was it just your grandfather's influence talking about kind of eschatology that made you dive into it a little bit?
Well, I want to be 100% clear.
I mean, the New World Order has brought us The end times, and it's proven the Bible's right, so that's why I've gotten way more interested.
I mean, growing up, we went to church on Sundays, and then we would have Bible studies a lot of times at the house on Sunday night when my parents led.
And I could watch if I wanted to and hang out there if I wanted to.
There'd be like 20 people there, but usually there'd be some other kids we'd run around outside.
And we went to church on Wednesdays, and We went to a evangelical style, you know, a pretty big church.
And so I was just growing up with this as a background.
And so it's kind of the back of your head.
And then my grandfather, once I moved to Austin, when I was in college, and then, you know, had my job and already on air for a lot of years.
He died about 12 years ago, my grandmother about five years ago.
He was just constantly saying, watch, this is all going to be fulfilled.
And he would get really upset when he'd see these preachers on TV setting a date.
He would say, those people are deceived by setting a date.
Then when it doesn't happen, that's going to make people fall away.
That's a tool of the devil.
And he was just really, he said, you know, comes like a thief in the night, no man knoweth, it's Christ at the hour of the return.
And so then I've seen the left use that when these preachers get a bunch of attention saying it's this date for like a year that it doesn't happen.
Then they say, oh, the Bible's disproven.
No, the Bible says no one knows.
And if they tell you they know, that person's bad.
Yeah, exactly.
So it's all there.
And so the older you get, the more you know, you go, this is incredible.
I get chills right now.
So I want to be clear.
I'm not Mr. Preacher, and I'm not holier than thou.
I mean, I don't tell lies on purpose, and I don't sell out to evil.
But I mean, I made the point about being hungover.
That's probably why I was throwing up.
I mean, I've got my own issues.
I'm not perfect.
We all do.
I'm not on some high horse.
So many people are turned off by the church.
Because it's preaching a watered-down Bible, and it's also just attacking people individually instead of showing them the big picture.
The devil's real, God's real, you better pick a side.
And so that's why I'm so much into end times is...
It's here, and it's all being fulfilled, and the globalists are fulfilling it and saying, the future's not human, you will merge the machines, you will submit to all our social credit scores, our ESGs, you'll be tracked in live time, the Bible says everyone worldwide will see the image of the beast, talking to them at once, they'll worship it, that's television, holograms, I mean it's like there's no way John Leal of Patmos 2,000 years ago just made this up.
There's no way Daniel just made it up or Ezekiel.
And it's just all congruent, proving itself, proving itself, proving itself.
And so if someone doesn't have the Holy Spirit of discernment, they read it as a bunch of gibberish.
Plus, we're living in the time.
You said something so important that I'll shut up for a minute, Gerald.
And that is, in the 70s and 80s, I mean, there I was, not just going to our church, but I would also go with my friends to their church.
And it was like there were all these movies and films, and people were really awake, and there was going to be a one-world government, and the beast system in Brussels, and a beast computer.
It was everywhere.
It was everywhere.
And then, once the 90s and the 2000s hit, once it all started coming true, the preachers went, whoa!
Because it's one thing to say, the Bible says it's coming, and then it's kind of like science fiction and really interesting.
But now a lot of the preachers are like, whoa, I'm not going to scare the hell out of people, which is actually we should be celebrating and going, my gosh, God is real.
This is a warning.
God gave us free will, but God also gave us a cheat sheet.
Yeah.
And so like, hey, kids, I want you to pass the test here.
So if you pay attention, you will.
And so this is a big deal.
And this is 100% real.
And then I think about the experiences I had in Dallas, particularly, and then coming to Austin and then being around Hollywood, Yeah.
which I never tried to be in, but it wanted me to be in it.
And it was Satanism, Luciferianism, sex parties, the whole nine yards.
I never got into rituals, but I was picked up by chicks repeatedly trying to recruit me into things
in Dallas and a decade later in Hollywood.
Austin's more new agey, not a lot of that here.
But that's almost a more creepy form of it.
So I've really, you know, I never fell away and said, I denounce God and God isn't real, I'm an atheist.
But I mean, I was in points in my life where I wasn't taking drugs really, but I was drinking and a lot of women and on a power trip and really prideful about how, you know, I was, and I'd say I got, I'd say I was kind of corrupt, let's say maybe 14 to about 20.
Uh, and then I kind of rediscovered God and then the Holy Spirit much more stronger than when I was saved when I was about 10.
And then literally God started talking to me and showing me things and like, and I would have dreams that came true and all these things.
And I just, now I get stronger and stronger and stronger to where you talk about spiritual warfare.
We'll get into it at this point.
That's all we, I mean, that is, you have Christ, you have Jesus, you have a faith in that.
You are protected.
But then the devil comes out of people that you love who aren't in God.
That's why you've got to get them into the Holy Spirit or the devil's going to chew up your family in front of you.
So that's what people better understand.
This is more important than guns in your gun cabinet or storable food or water.
It's getting your heart and soul ready.
Because believe me, folks, without God, you won't be able to withstand Satan.
This is going to be hardcore.
No flesh will be spared if God doesn't intervene.
Right.
And I want to bring something back up that you said, and I'll get to that in just a second, what you just said, no flesh will be spared unless God intervenes.
There's some great quotes for us that really help us in scripture that say that unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman watches in vain.
Like, it doesn't matter.
You can be as prepared as you want to be, but if God is not watching over the city, it really doesn't matter.
Right?
It's a bigger picture than this.
Churches did get away from this and I think maybe because they started seeing people kind of practice this escapism, right?
So instead of focusing on being productive here and now, right?
What am I supposed to do today?
What am I supposed to do in the next five years of my life if by chance the Lord allows me to have those?
They started looking kind of into the future and they were so heavenly minded that they were no earthly good is what my pastors would say every once in a while.
But churches got away from preaching about Revelation and Daniel and some other topics that are very, very interesting and very important topics because it basically gives you the opportunity to point at Scripture and go, God called that, right?
In Ezekiel, when it talks about the dry bones and the nation of Israel coming back, that's something that has to happen for the rapture to happen, for the tribulation to happen.
It talks about them having A temple and having sacrifices and then having the abomination that causes desolation set up.
Well, if Israel isn't a country, if Israel doesn't have the land, there is no temple, right?
There is no temple right now, but it's impossible unless they're there.
Well, until 1948, that was impossible.
Until modern television was invented.
It was impossible for us to all watch the two witnesses at the Wailing Wall.
And it says that when those guys are killed because they've tormented people for this period of time, Just by speaking the truth and withholding rain to basically say, guys, you have to listen.
Let me get your attention.
No rain.
Let me get your attention.
Listen to... God loves you.
He wants to save you.
They rejoice, and the entire world watches them die, and then they exchange gifts like it's Christmas, and then they're brought back to life, and it freaks everybody out, obviously.
If somebody was brought back to life after three days laying on the ground and we've been celebrating their death, it'd be a little weird.
I'd kind of get freaked out too.
I get it.
I understand.
But none of that technologically was even possible.
And so when churches don't get into this, I think they're doing a bit of a disservice to their congregations because it's almost, think about what we have now with kind of the cancel culture, right?
We're obviously both very familiar with how that works in our society.
You create a vacuum.
You start to create a vacuum where people go, okay, well, you're not talking about this, so I'm gonna go listen to 15 or 16 or 20 other people over here talking about it, and I may not be grabbing good information, right?
So when you start canceling people in our industry, you start pushing them off into the fringes.
You can't easily point out the people who are absolutely out of their minds and go, you know what, don't listen to that guy.
He's never been right before.
The end of the world has never come.
He's predicted it 17 times.
And people go, yeah, you're right.
I can see that.
I can see that this person's not correct and not a reliable person to judge or to listen to, to kind of judge whether the world is actually coming to an end or not.
And it actually does a disservice to people.
So I think the church has done a bad job with that.
Let me just lay a little bit of groundwork here.
It's important that you understand this.
It is not important that you debate this to the death with other believers.
People tend to get into these things and go, you know what, I am a new King James Bible person or a King James Bible person and there are no other translations that absolutely are the Word of God and you're a heretic and you're going to hell if you read the NIV.
Right?
they tend to kind of draw these lines where we shouldn't.
God judges the heart.
Christ always taught the Pharisees up there praying in public.
He said, no, you need to pray in private.
It's about you and God.
And I just want to be clear with people.
This isn't about even the messengers here.
The devil is 100% real.
The operating system of the new world order, the UN is Luciferianism.
They've got a Lucius Lucifer trust that runs the prayer chapel in New York.
At the UN, I've had these people try to recruit me.
And some of it wasn't just in high school or then later when I was in Hollywood some.
It's happened since then, where very well-known household names said, hey, we want you to go to this event in Reykjavik, or this event in Switzerland, and it's new agey, but we're, Lucifer's not really bad, we're gonna call in Lucifer to fix the problems.
So, I mean, I start thinking about how much of this we, Bohemian Grove, I sneak in there, I hear there's this ritual, they're doing a ritual to the devil, Under all these Canaanite names.
It's like Ghostbusters or something, but for real.
And I look over, and the old men are more intense than when I was in Holy Roller Churches.
You know, because Holy Roller Churches, great people are like, oh, we love you, Lord.
These people are like, ah!
I mean, this is real.
All I'm telling people is, I don't know if you've experienced stuff like this, but I'm telling you, if you've seen the stuff I've seen, and I know God put me in those places to see that, so I can now witness this to people, you would know that God is real.
And I just keep hammering that.
But what you said is critical.
There's a mix.
The whole rapture thing, okay, there's all this scary stuff coming, and the Bible's being fulfilled so far, because people can see it starting to be fulfilled in the 70s and 80s, technology.
So people go, oh my gosh, this really is happening.
And then people go, oh, but we're going to be raptured, so let's just go to sleep and stop looking at it.
And so it's a mix.
Half the folks, or whatever percentage it is, a certain percentage are scared and don't really want to be bothered with it, because it is awesome, it is scary.
It is huge.
It's eternal.
It's a big decision forever.
And the other ones are just like, hey, we're going to get rapture.
It's going to be fine.
But if you really look at the Bible, I'm not going to debate post, mid, or pre.
The issue is right there.
We know there's a big awakening of Christians later that turn against the Antichrist, and then he starts killing everybody.
So we know there's going to be a group that's awake before, a group that doesn't, a huge awakening during it.
And you correct me if I'm wrong.
You say it more than I do.
Yeah, absolutely.
So let me just lay this out for you and we're not going to debate it.
from nice guy to mean guy and we're gonna have the biggest revival ever seen in the middle of this.
It's just so any way you slice it folks it's real it's happening and people better get serious.
Yeah absolutely so let me let me just lay this out for you and we're not going to debate it.
I may ask Alex kind of where he falls down on this stuff.
I really don't know.
It's very complex.
I just know that God's real and the devil's real.
It's about to get real messy, one way or the other, right?
So look, a lot of people believe in what's called a rapture.
And if you're wondering what that is, that's a topic that's alluded to in scripture.
I believe it's 1 Thessalonians 4 that mentions being caught up to heaven, kind of in the twinkling of an eye.
And there's a word that's used there, harpazo, right?
And that's where they talk about this rapture, like this instantaneous, like catching up to be with God.
And then, at some point, there is a period of seven years that's called either the Time of Jacob's Trouble, I think, in Jeremiah, or the Tribulation, right?
A lot of people look at the Tribulation and are like, oh, it's a seven-year period.
Sort of.
The entire Tribulation is this seven-year period, but really, the really scary thing, Alex, is that the Antichrist, when he comes to power, is accepted with open arms.
This person doesn't come in as a conquering kind of dictator.
He doesn't show up in red pajamas.
Right, exactly.
Right?
He doesn't come in and say, you know, you have to follow me.
People willingly do that.
And before COVID-19 hit, most of you out there right now probably thought, like, there's no way the world would just kind of jump in lockstep on something like this and kind of give up their freedoms willingly and shut down the entire world economy and not ask really important questions.
There's no way big tech would, like, completely censor genuine doctors asking questions about this stuff.
There's no way that would all happen.
Everybody's eyes got opened a little bit on how quickly we fall apart.
How quickly we are willing, in times of trouble, to welcome in somebody who may not have our best interest at heart.
To accept a great delusion.
Exactly.
Which the Bible says...
The delusion was so strong it could even deceive the elect.
What's the exact quote?
That's exactly what it is.
You nailed it!
Sometimes you just gotta believe in yourself, Alex.
I mean, I've read this stuff a hundred times, but you're trying to get the quote exactly right.
No, no.
So I always loosely quote this thing.
Like, I've got some scripture written down just to make sure that I get it accurate, but if you hear us talk about it, it's a loose quote.
Acts 17, 11 is what I would always point you to.
Don't believe Alex.
Don't believe Gerald.
Go and study scripture and see if it is true.
Right?
That is what everybody should do that.
One of my favorite teachers, Chuck Missler, always talked about that.
So do that and make sure you do it, right?
All right, so there's seven years.
Three and a half really good years.
Then things switch.
And three and a half really bad years.
And that's what we talk about.
That's the tribulation, that three and a half years.
So this seven year period ends.
Then there's a millennial kingdom, which is a thousand year rule of Christ on earth.
New Jerusalem, the whole thing.
And then at the end of that, there's what they call the White Throne Judgment, New Heaven, New Earth, right?
That's the basic layout.
There are other things that happen in there that I'm not going to get into right now.
Let the devil out for a little while again.
He does, and I don't know why.
Like, at the end of the thousand years, so Satan is bound and they're thrown into the pit for a thousand years, then he lets him out for a little while, and there's, again, there's this additional battle that happens, and then there's the final battle.
Well, it's free will.
It's like, okay, you've seen nothing but pure goodness.
For a thousand years.
It's almost like Adam and Eve all over again.
You get to walk and talk with God, essentially, right?
And now you have the opportunity again to fall away, and so there's this final battle.
I don't know why.
I have no idea why God does that.
But I understand that God is good and just, and I trust him a lot more than I trust myself to figure this out.
But that's true, at the end of it.
So some people believe that we're in the millennium right now, and if so, a lot of pastors have said, well, if that's true, then the devil's chain is too long, because he's obviously on the march.
Yeah, well, there's that teaching that supposedly Titus sacked Rome, I mean, sacked Jerusalem, and that was the end of the world then.
I mean, it doesn't have all the technology, the mark of the beast.
I just really don't see that.
And it's not understanding the Olivet Discourse, right?
The Olivet Discourse, and I talked to my wife about this just a little while ago.
By the way, she loves you.
She's a big fan.
I don't know.
God bless her.
I married up.
I was talking to her about that earlier.
I heard you say that on air.
You did.
You're a handsome guy, but she's quite the lady.
She's fantastic.
In Luke, the Olivet Discourse, he's actually talking about, he's talking to Gentiles, right?
So Luke is written to Gentiles.
So this is Christians after the time of Christ.
Leading up to 70 A.D., and he's talking about this, and he says, don't waste any time.
When you see the armies around Jerusalem, flee the city.
Don't even go back down and get your coat.
Leave and get out of the city.
That was the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., when the city was burned.
And Christ said that.
He said, before this generation passes, not one stone will be there.
38 years later, that's pretty much exactly the same time that they were wandering the desert as well, before they came into the promised land.
So it's a very interesting quote.
The generation had not passed, but people are like, well, wait a minute.
The Olivet Discourse in Luke sounds very similar to the Olivet Discourse in Matthew, and so they get confused.
Matthew is written to Jews.
Matthew's whole thing was writing to the Jews and it was talking about two different times.
Jesus at one time was talking to the public during the day and the other time he was kind of having secret briefing meetings with his disciples at night.
And so that's why there's some confusion about whether that actually already happened and we're in a millennium or that there is no millennial kingdom.
That's just really some kind of... But really it's men looking at the same mountain range from different angles.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
You're looking at the story and you're not taking into context who he's writing to and also like very simple things that said, and before these things, this stuff will happen.
And after these things, these things will happen.
It's like, well, wait a minute.
One says before and goes down this entire list.
The other says after and goes down this other way.
That's a different conversation, but we've kind of looped those things together and it's caused a lot of confusion.
All you really need to know is, there is a Tribulation, there is a Millennial Kingdom, the Bible definitely discusses it, I don't allegorize it, I tend to take the Bible more seriously, and the more that I do that, the more that I see Scripture being fulfilled.
That women will become men, men will become women, your children will be set up over you.
It's like insane.
None of that ever went on.
When this is being written, people will read this and go, this is crazy, this never happened.
They're like, you guys are crazy.
Come on, really?
Guys becoming women?
That's just crazy.
There's some effeminate men, but let's not go too far.
So, one of the other dividing lines is, you know, when in that period of time the church is actually taken out.
Is it before that seven-year start?
Is it at the midpoint, so before the bad time starts?
Is it at the very end, because Christians don't get to be exempt from the kind of, I guess, persecution that they've experienced?
Well, it says the beast will wage war against the saints and overcome them.
So if you want to speak against the... because to me it says Christ comes back, the archangel bounds Satan, and then the dead in Christ are raised, and that's the tribulation to me.
To me it happens at the end of the Battle of Armageddon.
Okay.
I mean, it seems to me like a ten-year-old could do that.
But so many Christians who believe in Christ and love God are holding on to that.
I don't want to run them away.
I don't want to say you're going to hell.
I don't want to preach at you.
Hey, if that's what you believe, that's fine.
But then you're not going to be ready for what's already going down.
Right, so your responsibility is the same as a believer or somebody who's maybe interested in what, you know, I guess the Bible has to say about how the world is going to go because looking around you're probably thinking, my goodness, things are not necessarily getting better, they're getting worse.
I tend to come down on a pre-tribulation kind of viewpoint, right?
And so let me explain why.
I don't If you understand what the tribulation is about, right?
If you understand what those last three and a half years are, it is God's final chance for the Jews.
The Jews that rejected Christ.
He said, I will return to my place until they acknowledge their offense and then I will come to them.
This is God-fulfilling prophecy from Daniel.
It's the 70th week of Daniel that talks about this very specifically, and not only predicts when Messiah will come, but also predicts this period of time that will be unlike any other time.
Worse than the Holocaust, right?
That's exactly what the Bible is describing, because if you look at some of the numbers that it talks about for how many people will be killed, it is far, far, far worse.
But this is the last chance of a loving father saying, I'm giving you one final opportunity, and I'm going to do some things.
I'm going to tell you that I'm going to do them.
So think of plagues of Egypt, right?
I'm just going to start ratcheting up the pressure until finally you let go and understand that I am God and you are not.
So that's one of the reasons.
That's right.
God repeats the same.
It's like over and over again.
Pattern.
So to the Jewish mind, pattern is prophecy.
So the Bible isn't so much pattern developed and kind of laid down.
The entire book of Joshua essentially is pattern for the end times.
Think about this.
In Joshua, you know, when they're talking about the city of Jericho and the battle there and they march around the walls and then they scream in the walls.
All the kids know that from like Bible stories when you're when you're a young kid.
The part of it that we don't talk a whole lot about is this two witness part.
They send in two spies.
They don't get any actionable military intelligence because there is no battle plan that includes going in and doing anything.
It's just walking around the city.
You don't have to have any intel for that, right?
The only thing that really happens is that Rahab, a harlot, and her family get saved.
She's a Gentile.
So two witnesses go in.
Two witnesses at the wailing wall.
Gentiles get saved.
Gentiles get saved.
It's a pattern that God is laying down.
Exactly, so it just lays down this pattern throughout scripture.
So the next thing that makes me believe that if you look at Revelation 3 it talks about the letters to the seven churches and it actually starts in chapter 2 but in chapter 3 it comes to the Church of Philadelphia.
A lot of people will make a big deal about how these churches actually represent kind of church ages so to speak like an apostate church or a missionary church or an evangelical church or A lukewarm church, right?
So you can look at all of these and kind of study that.
That's a really interesting thing to do.
The Church of Philadelphia, it actually says, and I'll quote it here in just a little bit, it actually says that if you hold on, I will keep you, I will remove you from the time of trouble.
That's very interesting.
So it's a foreshadowing of a pattern.
Of a potential, hey, it's possible that there's a rapture.
Here's the important part.
Oh, Gerald, I want to say, the important part, I hope it's pre.
I know, right?
I am praying that it's free as well.
Trust me, if you've read Revelation, I don't want to be around for the last three and a half years of the seventh year.
I don't want to be around for the first part of it because there's going to be this guy coming on the stage that everybody who's a Christian, if you're still around, you're going to know that's the Antichrist.
Things are about to get really bad and it's not going to be a fun time to be around.
And he's going to be healing people and miracles and all the high tech.
Politically, he's going to come to power first, and it's going to be just this sweeping thing.
Can you imagine somebody from, like, Romania or, you know, pick some country over in kind of Eastern Europe.
Can you imagine somebody coming to power right now and the entire world just bowing down to this person and saying, absolutely, yes, this person.
What is it the Antichrist, you've studied more than I have, what's the devil able to do to make people go into this delusion and worship this guy?
So it's a time of trouble, right?
So that's what we need.
Historically we've seen that with the rise of Hitler, with all of these different kind of dictators.
A depression, a virus.
Exactly.
Something like that.
So this time of trouble where people are looking and willing to give up freedom for security.
We've been willing to do that throughout history.
So the devil comes up with a solution.
Yep.
There's a person who comes in and has the solution, can bring world peace, can unite people that you never thought could unite, and really what marks the beginning of this is the signing of a treaty with Israel.
And so Israel signs a treaty with all of its neighbors to have peace.
It's a seven-year treaty, and that's where that seven-year tribunal is.
It was kind of scary when Trump was getting that done.
I know, right, when he moved the embassy.
But that was fantastic, but there was no peace treaty with the neighbors.
No, I mean, it was good what he was doing, but I'm just saying it was still kind of like, whoa, it's happening.
No, but it's part of it, right?
And so Russia plays kind of a key role in this, too, in the Battle of Armageddon.
What's up, Mog and Agog?
Where were the ones, Russia?
Dog and Magog.
It's Russia and it's allies that typically people believe that are the armies that come down and invade, but really the seven-year treaty is what kicks it off.
So, if you're looking for the start of this, either you won't be here, and maybe we were correct in thinking that the church would be pulled out, or you'll see a treaty signed and you'll be here, but only for the good part, or you'll be here for all of it.
Either way, doesn't change what you do.
None of that matters.
This isn't something that you debate. A lot of times, you know, you talk about different doctrines and people are
like, I don't know if you have to be baptized to be saved. And I
go, you know what? I don't know either.
The thief on the cross wasn't baptized. You know what I do know?
Christ said to get baptized. That's all I need to know. I don't know what it does.
I'm going to do communion. I'm going to get baptized. I'm going to do it all.
I mean, but here's the thing. Like, I don't have to know if that's salvific, right?
If it's going to be a part of the salvation plan?
I don't know.
I just know what Christ said to do.
Here, He says to be ready.
You can't know the hour and the day, but you can know the season.
Jesus actually holds people responsible and accountable for not knowing the time of His coming.
That's what he was crying over.
Exactly.
You don't know the exact time, but you know the season.
Exactly.
Right?
And so the book of Revelation is actually God the Father revealing the plan to God the Son, Jesus, telling John on the Isle of Patmos.
So many people don't catch that in the first couple of verses.
This is the revelation to Jesus.
From God.
Right, it says that right at the start.
At the very start, and we read right over it and go, okay, well this is just a revelation to John.
No, John is there as a witness to record.
Now, he has a problem because he's seeing stuff that he has no idea how to describe.
But, at the same time, he's doing his best when he says that you've got something that spews sulfur out of its mouth and it's got the power to sting you in its tail.
Okay.
What does that sound like modern times, right?
Spewing sulfur out of its mouth.
Okay, people have conjectured maybe that's a tank.
Okay, that sounds right.
Soldiers behind it could be the tail because they have weapons and they can sting for the tail.
Okay, if you're John and you have, you know, horses and buggies, how do you describe...
He describes all these flying metal things and mountains of fire and, you know...
It's hard to describe these kinds of things in a way that will make sense.
And so, John had a problem.
He had to describe these things in a way that hopefully people would be able to understand.
But again, the point isn't, was he talking about tanks?
That's really irrelevant.
The point is, there's a time of trouble the likes of which the world has never known.
World War I, people thought was the end of the world.
They actually thought it was called the war to end all wars.
Exactly.
Except it was the war to start another war.
Right?
It was insane.
And people thought, oh my gosh, with World War II, this really does have to be the end.
It is going to get way worse than that.
That's what scripture says.
Think about at least 25 million Russians, 22 million Germans died and a lot of 600,000 Americans.
I mean, it was, but the point was we were We were on the tail end of it.
I mean, the Russians and Germans killing each other.
We waited as long as we possibly could.
Because trench warfare didn't sound like it was going anywhere.
And it didn't.
We were smart.
Instead, we put our troops, that's why the Army Air Corps was so big, in big big machines dropping bombs.
That would have seemed smarter.
It was insane, but people thought the world was going to end.
And people thought that the Antichrist should be on the stage and ready to go.
But it's just going to get worse.
And that's not to scare you.
But the Bible even says there are many Antichrists.
There's models of it.
Well, there has to be.
Because Satan doesn't know when the end is going to come anyway.
So he has to be prepared pretty much in every generation.
Satan's not omnipresent.
No.
He has to be prepared pretty much in every generation to have an Antichrist.
And this is conjecture, so I'll hold this loosely.
But theoretically, that means that Hitler could have been the Antichrist, if the timing was right.
Exactly.
The spirit was ready to do it.
Right.
I'm not saying Gavin Newsom is the Antichrist.
I'm with you.
Let's go talk about this.
We can talk about Patrick Bateman or whatever.
To me, in my Holy Spirit, I look at Newsom and I go, that's the devil.
My gut just goes, whoa.
Not just his actions.
There's evil there.
There's real evil there.
I'm not saying he's the devil, but whatever's running him is like a lieutenant to Satan.
Yeah, exactly.
We'll get into a little bit about spiritual warfare, but I think that is 100% spot on that there are people that are influenced very, very, very heavily by evil and scripture talks a lot about that.
So speaking of scripture, I just want to, we've mentioned the book of Daniel.
I just want to read a real quick quote here and we'll throw it up on the screen in post.
We don't have it right now, so we won't be able to see it, Alex, but I'll read it to you.
Sure.
So Daniel 9, 24, this is the 70 weeks of Daniel.
So 70 weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness and seal both the vision and profit, and to anoint the most holy place.
Okay.
Does it sound like that has happened?
Has sin been put to an end?
No.
Okay, so 70 weeks.
We are not at the end of that 70 week period yet, or some of those things would have happened.
Some of those things might be able to happen in the first 69, and then there's a pause, and then there's the 70th week of Daniel, which is what it gets into.
No, therefore and understand and this is this is the prediction to the day of when Jesus would come and present himself as Messiah that so many people miss know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem to coming of the anointed one a prince was his Messiah there shall be seven weeks then from Then for 62 weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.
And so that's talking about when they're building the city, when they're rebuilding Jerusalem, you're actually going to have to build with one hand and have a sword in the other hand.
And I believe they talk about that a little bit in Nehemiah, right?
So Artaxerxes Longinus actually gives the decree for them to go and rebuild the city.
And they do.
So that's the beginning of the clock.
And there's some really cool studies again.
Chuck Missler does a great study on this to kind of go, okay, here's the day, because we have good records on when that was, now how long is this weeks of years kind of period that they talk about?
And he'll go into a study on that.
We're not going to get into that now.
Does it come down around around now?
No, it's talking about when Christ would come the first time.
Oh yeah.
So there's something... Like the Old Testament precursors the same way.
Right.
So this is Daniel saying, look, Messiah is going to come at some point.
Gotta get some Agwe here, yeah.
I'll rat you out as she's coming in very secretly and doing a great job.
My apologies.
So Messiah is prophesied as coming here, right?
And so the Jews are looking for the coming of Messiah because he's going to deliver them.
And everything's going to be great and they're not going to be overtaken by anybody.
They're not going to be having all the problems that they are right now, especially when Jesus actually does come.
They're being ruled by terrible people with the Romans and they really were looking for their deliverer to come.
And it's really interesting.
I was talking to my wife earlier about this today.
A lot of times, don't understand what Jesus is doing because he'll heal somebody and he'll say, don't say anything.
Don't say who did it.
Don't do anything with this.
Keep quiet.
Be secret.
He does that over and over and over again.
When his mom comes to him at the wedding of Cana, one of my favorite miracles because I'm a wine guy, and says, I want you to take care of this problem.
Woman, my time has not yet come.
I'm not supposed to do some of these things yet.
It's not yet.
So Jesus constantly pushes back on this.
He's holding back on his power.
And then there's one time where he demands it and commands it and that's on the triumphal entry.
On the day that Jesus looks out over the city and weeps over Jerusalem and said if you had only known the time of your deliverance Basically holding them accountable for understanding the book of Daniel and saying, you didn't know that I was coming and this is not going to go well.
I wish that wasn't the case.
And how can they not deny it now when Jesus came and warned them and everything he said now came true?
Absolutely.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
It is.
And he actually said, some people came up to him, some of the leaders, the spiritual leaders, and said, make sure, tell your people not to do what they're doing right now because they're saying, Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Tell them not to do that.
And Jesus looks at them and says, look, if they don't do it, the rocks will cry out and do it.
Creation will declare who I am because today's the day.
And you should have been ready for that, right?
Is that when he rode in on the donkey?
Yeah.
It's an incredible letter.
But how can the Jews, and I know they get mad about this, we love them to death, and a lot of them are coming to Christ, how can they get mad when the Messiah told them and then it all came true?
But Jesus, God knew this as well.
God knew that they would miss this.
You mentioned it earlier when people were, I think you were talking about them praying in public and making these eloquent prayers and then you've got this sinner over there that says, have mercy on me God, I am a sinner.
That's the heart that he wants, not somebody praying in public for public recognition.
Well he prayed in private but he wasn't making a big show of things.
If he did something in public like he danced before God without his tunic on, like he had pants on but probably no shirt, he danced before God, there was nothing wrong with that because it was genuine.
What God had a problem with, what Jesus, God in human form, had a problem with was fake Fake belief, fake sincerity, fake piety.
People who said one thing, did another thing, and then actually lorded it over kind of the lady, the people, right?
And said, hey, you guys have to do all of these things because of God, and I am God's minister, but I'm cheating, I'm doing all these things that I shouldn't be doing, but don't worry about that.
That's why I call them whitewashed tombs.
Well, Gerald, if you had a national, which you have with your great Stephen Crowder, if you had a national TV show preached every week, I'd tune in, you're good, you're smart, man.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
No, I would.
That's what we're doing right now, I guess.
I'm kind of chicken to the egg.
I pray for the Holy Spirit to say something because, you know.
I mean, chicken to the egg.
We are talking to millions right now, so.
Well, yeah, absolutely.
No, and so it goes on and talks about a covenant that is made for one week.
And this is where the week, kind of weeks of years thing comes in.
In Judaism, like there's, you can have a week of years, right?
So it's kind of something that's foreign to us.
We say a week, we mean seven days.
You can actually have that mean seven years, right?
So it's just kind of a figure of speech.
And so Daniel kind of gives that to us in verse 27, and make a strong covenant with many for one week and for half of the week, so the first half, so that you don't miss it.
By the way, the book of Revelation says it three different ways.
It says 300, I can't remember the number of days, it's like 1200 and something days, three and a half years, and it gives you the months.
It does months, weeks, years, multiple times to make sure that you understand it's a three and a half year period.
It's 360 day years though, which is very interesting to me.
Somebody can do some research on that.
I think there's a really interesting book out there, I think called When Worlds Collide, that talks about potentially how the calendar can change around a little bit.
But what do we say to the average person who doesn't believe in God but then really worships the system?
What are they gonna do as this world government comes in that surveils you with AI,
and you've gotta submit and follow everything it tells you, or it takes your right to have a job,
or eat, or live, or travel, and basically kills you.
I mean, that is, you've gotta worship the beast to get the mark of the beast,
and so what do you think, what is, we know the devil is the Antichrist,
but what is the beast system, Gerald, in your view, and then what is it we have to do to get this mark?
Because like you said, you don't get it by accident, So how do you refuse it?
So you'll know.
The good thing is that you will know.
Nobody will ever accidentally take the mark of the beast.
And that was a question that a lot of people had, like, look with RFID tags, with, uh, I don't know, pull out your phone, like if you live in China, basically you take out your phone and it scans it and that's how you buy stuff, that's how you see if you're qualified to get on an airplane or a train or get a car loan, maybe go to college, if your ESG score, essentially, social media score.
Social credit score, but nonetheless, I mean, it's all kind of one thing.
I think we've talked about the ESG stuff as well.
All of that is the same thing.
So people thought, oh, am I accidentally doing that?
People thought barcodes because the dividers were sixes and it said 666.
I'm like, look, it's not barcodes.
Just because you go to the store and you buy some cheese doesn't mean that you've taken the mark of the beast.
It will be a bowing down to a world system.
Think of the story of Nebuchadnezzar and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
There was a big statue over there.
They bowed down before it and worshipped it multiple times a day.
And they stood up and said, we're not going to do it, right?
That's what you'll have the opportunity to do.
It won't happen by accident.
But the way, the mechanisms for that to be carried out are being put in place right now.
And that's just incredible.
You read Revelation and you're like, how do they do it?
You worship it, you got to submit, and then you get the mark.
It's not like you just agree to take it.
You have to worship it and do whatever it says.
They have all these patents where you're watched by AI in lifetime and you follow its orders completely or it's taken away from you.
So you become a robot and turn your free will over and become an extension of Antichrist.
Right.
I mean, and so God's like, yeah, you've cut yourself off when I made you and gave you all this creativity and all this freedom and free will.
If you merge with this, basically marry the devil and put the ring on your finger of this mark, then, then that's it.
You're done.
Yeah.
Well, and they talk about the, once you take the mark of the beast, you're right.
You can't come back from that.
There is no coming back.
And so if I believe in a rapture that takes Christians out, which leaves a pretty terrible world in my opinion.
But just back up for a second though, but that means, God, you've got the people on the cross, and one of them doesn't believe the other does.
That guy, you'll be with me in paradise.
But think about it.
What is it you've got to do that's so bad in the process, that to get that mark, to get that sign, you've done the ultimate sin, or you've done something so bad, God says, it's not just that you took it, it's like to get that mark, to me, is what did it.
Yeah, so this is, really this is the final chance.
I think it's just the final straw kind of thing.
Like, this is you declaring sides.
You've picked your side kind of at the last opportunity.
You put the enemy uniform on.
Exactly.
Right, and right now we have grace.
We have the covering of Christ and praise God for it because there are days where... And it's gonna be rough.
You may, like, maybe your children have sided with Antichrist.
God forbid.
I mean, there's gonna be a moment where you're like, my family did it, I'm taking it, fine, I bow down.
Well, then you won't, it's just, no, you've got to say sorry.
Absolutely.
You have to and it will cost you your life.
You won't be able to buy or sell.
It means you can't eat.
Maybe people will set up co-ops.
There's a really cool series of books called Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins that I read when I was in high school.
I started reading them and they came out over I guess the course of maybe 10 or 15 years.
They wrote a ton of them.
Really, really interesting stuff.
But it describes, OK, well, you know, think of the practical things that could happen.
Somebody can set up a co-op and have believers around the world.
There's some kind of a system where they're trying to kind of help people be fed and help people get moved out of cities that are, I guess, locking down.
By the way, the U.N.
and the Rockefeller Foundation 10 years ago put out Plandopolis.
And they said, we're going to put the people that won't take our chips and accept our system in these ghettos.
Yeah.
And it said they're going to have like, it describes that.
So even the enemy sees the same perspective.
It's weird.
Yeah, absolutely.
And so many people think that it's impossible for that system.
I want to go back to this because this really is the test case.
This is absolutely the test case.
So we've talked about how COVID-19 mirrored how maybe a world government could take over because we need it because it's so bad, it's going to kill everybody.
Right, so bad it's going to kill everybody that everybody has to do this.
Take it one step further.
It's not just that the situation is dire and that we need to take these drastic economic measures and freedom kind of
restricting measures.
It's that people who speak out against it are worthy of death.
How many celebrities did we see tweeting F you if you don't have the vaccine and you screw your freedom?
Yeah, exactly.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, if you don't have the vaccine and you come to the hospital, you should die and somebody else
should be taking care of you. Resuscitating people with heart attacks.
In the United States, because the hospital was too full and it wasn't.
Exactly.
None of these hospitals were too full.
We've talked about this.
That is the kind of mentality people will have.
You are now an enemy.
Not just an enemy ideologically, not just somebody that I need to make sure doesn't run for office and win, but somebody who should not have a job, a way to provide for their family, a place to live, or even- And that's why China's the model.
So from your research, the model, because you've done a better job than I have, I always remember in Sunday School and stuff, there are going to be guillotines, chopping Christians' heads off.
I mean, what does the Bible actually say about that versus what people made up?
100% true.
So if you don't have the mark of the beast, if you refuse to worship, the punishment of choice is separating you from your head, which is typically fatal.
A lot better than going to hell.
It's supposed to be a joke, Alex.
No, no.
You're right.
It is funny.
But it's so serious.
A lot of people think, OK, well, what other world religion right now?
Because it will come in under a world religion.
Don't be fooled.
Don't think that they're going to say God is not real.
That's not what they're going to say.
They're going to say, yes, God is real, but God is this.
Right?
They'll say you can still be Christian, but you must accept every other religion.
We have to accept all of these other things.
What religion right now kills apostates by cutting off their heads?
Islam.
Islam.
Absolutely.
What regions are we talking about when we talk about some of the places that this all is going to happen?
Middle East.
Middle East.
Do you think it's any surprise that that probably plays a prominent role?
I have no idea.
And Islam didn't exist for 400 years after The revelation.
I think Islam came around in what, the 600s?
500-600 years.
Something like that.
I didn't even plan on getting into Islam, but it's a topic that I've studied a lot.
This guy was rejected by the Jews.
He wanted to be Jewish, but he was rejected.
He was rejected by Christians as well.
And then he kind of dabbled in some Zoroastrianism.
They're at the crossroads of the East-West trade.
He watched all this.
Absolutely, and he kind of based everything off of that.
What's really interesting, maybe we can do another one on this.
So when we talk about eschatology, there are players in this, like there's the beast, there's the Antichrist, and so you've got kind of the false prophet.
You've got all these kind of characters at play in Christianity, and we go, okay, those are the bad guys.
The Messiah coming back, so Jesus coming back, that's the good guy.
If you study Islamic eschatology, they have the same cast of characters, except the roles are reversed.
All of the bad guys for them are the good guys, and our good guy actually becomes a prophet for them.
Jesus is a prophet that actually comes and allows Muhammad to take center stage.
It is absolutely mind-blowing when you dive into it.
So like, they believe this stuff too.
There's an eschatology to their game as well.
There's an end times, like the 12th Imam, one of my favorite authors, Joel C. Rosenberg.
Yeah, they believe starting nuclear war brings Jesus.
Exactly.
It has to be so bad.
Now think about that.
If they think to bring back their kind of world order that they want, their messiah essentially, they have to make the world so bad.
I just described to you a scenario where the world is going to get so bad that somebody coming to power, it's going to be very easy for us to hand over our freedom and our liberty because they'll make the world better and we need somebody to do that.
These things line up.
They think that they have to do that.
We don't.
We just know that it will happen.
Well, this is wild how the Jews sit there and come out with the amazing stuff that's in the Torah, and then they're waiting for it, and then when it finally comes, it changes the whole world and empowers all these societies.
They're like, nope!
It creates the Renaissance and everything we have, and they just go, nope, we're not accepting that.
So, here's why.
Here's why the Jews missed it.
So, in the book of Isaiah, there's some prophecies that talk about Jesus, right?
So, there's some very clearly messianic prophecies that they overlook.
Israel was expecting a conquering king.
Because in scripture, it says that the Messiah will be a conquering king.
That seems reasonable, right?
What they didn't understand is that they missed that he would first be a suffering servant.
That there are two times the Messiah comes.
They were looking for the second time.
He came the first time and did this, and Jesus even quoted this, and I'll butcher the quote if I do it, but it's when he stands up and the scroll is unraveled, and he reads kind of a thing from Isaiah, and he stops.
And where he stopped was actually a point where it's, I think it's talking about setting captives free, I think.
Don't quote me on this, I could be just getting this a slight bit off.
And he stops kind of at a comma, so to speak.
The comma didn't exist, we inserted that, but he stopped right there.
And right after that, it's referring to the second time when it's talking about judgment and destruction.
And thank God he stopped.
Because if he had come back the first time with condemnation for sinners, people who had completely rejected God, none of us would have had a chance.
We wouldn't have been born in the first place, but people would not even have had a chance.
But he stopped right there and the Jews missed it because they saw present conditions suck.
Rome occupies us, we don't even control it.
And how are you gonna get a Messiah that fixes everything if everybody doesn't go under it?
Yeah.
I mean, it's like the Messiah comes, everybody's gotta follow it.
Everybody has to.
And so that's why they missed it.
And so it's hard for them to come back to it.
But here's one of the other things that I'll tell you, kind of a wrapping up point as to why this all matters
just a little bit more.
One of the things that people get, I guess, confused about is all of the language of Revelation.
Well, Revelation 1 through 3 is very clear.
Very easy to understand.
It's letters to churches.
It's some admonitions.
It's actually really interesting.
The book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible with the audacity to say, as Chuck Missler would say, read me, I'm special.
Because it basically promises a blessing to those who read and understand.
It's the only book of the Bible that does that.
So it's a very important thing to remember.
Read that book.
There is a blessing to people who read that book.
First three chapters, pretty easy.
You get to chapter 4, the language changes.
All of a sudden, you start to hear things that are very Jewish.
Very, very Jewish.
You start to tell stories that you don't really understand and you're like, oh my gosh, I don't really understand what they're talking about with the moon and the stars and the sun and the lady and this beast.
It's really strange.
If you understand your Old Testament, that gets very clear very quickly.
That is why the church has messed up so much on the Book of Revelation because the church doesn't spend a lot of time teaching you the Old Testament and giving you a verse by verse by verse understanding of what the Bible says.
Well, Christ said he came to fulfill the Old Testament, not to override it.
Exactly. He's like, I came to fulfill all of the law, not to get rid of it.
Every single thing that has been said in Scripture will be fulfilled.
But all of it is written of Christ.
The things that were written aforetime were for your benefit.
The Old Testament is very important.
If you understand your Old Testament, you will understand the book of Revelation much, much
better.
And you won't fall victim to all of these theories.
I think you have to know the Old Testament to know that.
You do. But most people think about this.
When you're a Christian, I mean, growing up in the 90s, I was a Christian.
I was in church, and I read mostly the New Testament.
I really wasn't studying the Old Testament until I got into my 20s and went to ministry school, and I was like, I just can't get enough of this.
Like, this is explaining so much.
It's starting to make sense.
Well, because we already did it before.
It's all the same stuff we did again.
Right, exactly.
Like, it's just repeating.
The prophecy is pattern thing.
There are some things that will just blow your mind in scripture where you're like, I had no idea that when Moses lifted up a snake on a brass snake and people looked upon it, they were healed of the afflictions.
And Christ refers to that and says, just like when Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, the son of man will be lifted up and he who looks upon me will be healed.
It was a pattern that he was laying down in scripture, but most people miss that because they never read the first story in the first place.
And the pattern's key because it connects it all together energetically, spiritually.
And you see the patterns being fulfilled, right?
God using patterns to kind of set prophecy and those things being fulfilled.
So it's very important to understand the Old Testament.
So I'd highly encourage you to do that.
If you want to study the book of Revelation, there's a lot of great people out there that you can look at.
I highly recommend Chuck Missler just because I think he's the right kind of teacher.
He's humble.
He'll talk to you about stuff that's interesting, but he'll say it's conjecture, not to hold onto that too tightly.
But he'll also tell you verse by verse by verse and link you back to the Old Testament every single time.
If there's one thing about what Chuck Misler did, he died in 2018, but he was just a phenomenal teacher.
He would take I think 30 hours to go through the book of Revelation and kind of walk you through all of this because he's going back to the Old Testament so much to kind of show you, okay, this is what it's talking about.
Here's what this is talking about.
What's incredible is...
What I'm seeing the Great Awakening happening, the third Great Christian Awakening that we've had in the last 300 years, it's not that the church is even teaching this, when it should be, because this is the reality.
People are hungry for it.
It's that people are out in the world and seeing the Satanism and the occultism and the devil worship and the destruction and the attack on God, the attack on family.
I mean, it really is satanic.
And so, If people think it's bad now, it's going to get crazier and crazier and crazier.
And so that's why people, I think, really need to understand that we're on a planet in space.
We were given free will.
God really didn't make us.
There really is this outside force.
You know, there's all the new agers say it's space aliens or whatever.
I mean, what is the devil?
It's an interdimensional creature stranded here with an army that wants to control us.
Well, why is it?
Because we're made in the image of God and look what we imagine what we're able to build now.
We're like babies still.
Oh yeah.
The technology, the things we've done, is nothing.
Because we are actually more advanced than God's angels.
And this is my lay person take.
But I mean, we are made in the image of God.
We have eternal spirits.
And God made other things before and decided to make us later.
And these things are jealous of us and want to kill us.
And want to get rid of us.
I mean, it's really... The demonic forces, yeah.
Absolutely.
You know what?
We'll talk about spiritual warfare in one second here.
I think we'll make that into another episode because I think that'll be really interesting.
We should do a lot of episodes.
I want to do them.
Well, you know, I think we'll do that in a minute because that's really important.
But look, to Alex's point, we're held responsible as a believer, as a non-believer, whoever it is, it doesn't matter.
You're held responsible for the information that you have access to.
And right now, you have access to God saying, hey, you won't know the day and the hour.
That's fine.
Don't worry about that.
Know the season.
We're in the season.
Whether that season is going to take a long time to fulfill, I'm not the guy saying, hey, in two years, in five years, in ten years.
I'm just saying that you need to be prepared because that's what God tells you to do.
Not because I am saying that.
Not because I'm trying to sell you some emergency supply kit or make you a great prepper.
I'm just saying it is good for you to be ready.
It's also good for you to know the end of the story.
We win.
We overcome this through Christ.
Thank God, literally.
Because the world is a very terrible place.
It's very sad when you have movies coming up about human trafficking, and that's just one fraction of the debauchery that is on this planet.
The things that we do to each other make God cry.
And it all comes to an end and he wipes away every single tear from every single eye and you don't have to worry about that anymore.
Evil is finally dealt with and justice.
And I think that's something really important to say here.
And I know we're taping this today so when you put it in post maybe you can add AOC and Al Gore and Beto saying the world ends in 2030.
They mean they're artificially collapsing things to consolidate power and depopulate.
But really, you've all know Harari and Bill Gates and them saying, the future's not human, by 2047 there'll be no humans, you must merge the machines or we'll get rid of you.
They're the ones saying it's the end of the world.
They are literally fulfilling prophecy.
I remember my grandfather would say, The devil can't help it.
He must follow God's plan.
He will fulfill the prophecy.
And that's the thing is, they think we're the ones saying it to the world.
No, we're trying to keep the gas pipelines going.
We're trying to keep the nitrogen going.
We're trying to keep the farming going.
We're trying to stop wars, stabilize the third world.
We're not like, oh, we want the end of the world, let's drink Kool-Aid.
It's the left and the globalists that are fulfilling it to bring in the crisis, and then they can stop the crisis because they're running it with their anti-Christ.
Absolutely.
I love that you talk about that because a lot of times you know we live in kind of a world where we're talking politics and we're talking kind of what's going on culturally and obviously there is an intersection of faith to that but sometimes it's hard to kind of break away from that and talk mostly about faith and what's going on.
Now this is interesting because the first time that we talked we mentioned some demonic warfare, spiritual warfare topics and I said we're going to wait and actually talk about that.
This is something that we'll cross over very cleanly into what's going on today with some of the characters on the, uh, I don't know, on the left, um, that are basically in some way, shape or form controlled, manipulated, influenced by demonic forces.
And we'll get into some specifics on that.
But, um, recently, I don't remember how long ago exactly it was, but it was, it was an interesting find that Fox News was actually going to, uh, match donations even if it went to, um, some really crazy things, including, uh, some people who are Satan worshippers. Yes. That's a really interesting
thing to have the...
and look I'm not taking a steaming pile on on Fox though sometimes I think it's
definitely warranted but when they do stupid stuff you should definitely call
people out and that is a stupid thing. We don't need anybody supporting Satanists.
No, I agree.
That should be an easy one, I think.
And I have not supported Satanists, but I'll go ahead and tell the story.
I'm not attacking the person that was my lawyer.
I've had probably 20 lawyers in all the lawfare attacks I've been under over the years, and one of the lawyers... Lawfare, that's a good way of putting it.
...that did some filings for me is a big First Amendment lawyer and has represented the ACLU and Farmers and Native Americans and hundreds of groups.
And then later I learned they had represented, it's not Church of Satan, it's called something else.
The point is, it's that big national group that like puts the Satan things in front of courthouses with like the bafflement and stuff.
It'll pop in my head in a minute, look it up.
People said, oh my God, your lawyer represents these people.
Well, I mean, I agree with their First Amendment, but I don't agree with their ideas.
That's just one lawyer I use, who I do not use.
Once I basically discovered that only because I don't want that intersection and that was not a choice I made but with the Fox thing it's very clear what they're doing and with like the you know the governor of Illinois promoting chopping up kids and all this When people get confronted with something they're doing that's wrong or an association that's wrong, I think they should have a chance to say, hey, I didn't know, and that's why I'm here.
Benefit of the doubt, right?
They should be given the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to go, hey, I didn't know that.
Well, you never think when you hire a lawyer that they're representing, and I get his argument is, hey, everybody gets free speech.
Okay, whatever.
You just don't know when you're like, oh yeah, I'll hire this lawyer to file this thing, and they're like, hey, you know, your lawyer represents the, what's it called?
It's going to pop my head in a minute.
Temple of Satan or something like that.
It's a satanic church.
That is really all you need to know about it, but I agree with you 100%.
There's no guilt by association with that, but it's good to kind of go, okay, well, maybe I don't want that.
On the Fox subject, you get to where, you know.
On that one, it's not guilt by association, it's guilt by policy.
Absolutely, yeah.
Trump, he poses in photos with Epstein, you know, a decade before all this stuff happened.
He wasn't exactly the frequent flyer that Bill Clinton was on that, so.
Satanic Temple!
Satanic Temple, there we go.
Well look, spiritual warfare is very real.
It's referenced in scripture in a number of different places, but Ephesians is one of those places that a lot of people go to.
So Ephesians 6.12, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
That means powerful places.
Read that again.
You probably should have started the whole show with that.
Read that again slowly.
This is key.
So Ephesians 6.12, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
So the earth is Satan's right now.
He doesn't have possession of it forever because Christ comes back with the deed.
There's something in Revelation that we didn't talk about where it's written on the outside and inside and that's typically a kind of like a title contract that says Jesus comes down and says basically this is mine, give it back.
But right now, this is Satan's domain.
For now, we're behind enemy lines.
Yes, we absolutely are.
We're behind the curtain with all this stuff, and so we have to be very careful.
But you have to understand that this is a very real thing.
And to the Jewish mind, when these guys are writing to them, we have these kind of new converts to the way, which is Christianity, kind of in the first century.
They're very Jewish-minded still, culturally, everything.
They understand that.
And so when they're looking at this, they know all these things, because in the Old Testament, it's full of it.
Now, some people have made the argument That some of the things that they talk about of demon possession in the Old Testament was really like maybe schizophrenia or somebody with a mental illness.
I don't think that that is exactly the same thing that it's referring to here because God could have been very particular about that.
He could have said that this person had a mental issue.
But let's just leave some room for that and know that not every one of them is like that.
And I'll give you an example of why I know that.
2 Kings 6, 16 and 17.
This is one of my favorite Parts of spiritual warfare to understand what's going on because it helps you understand that this battle isn't what most people think it is.
Most people think it's just demons flying around influencing people and that's a very scary thought to have.
2 Kings 6, 16 and 17.
And he answered.
So this is Elisha.
Let me just set the stage.
Elisha is causing problems for some ruling people around the area and he's thwarting some of their military plans.
Okay.
These guys find out about it, and they come with their army to kill Elisha.
His prophet walks outside, sees these guys up on the hillside, freaks out a little bit, understandably so, runs back in and tells Elisha, and here's what he says, and he answered, Fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see.
And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
This is not a fair fight.
We win.
God opened the eyes of this guy, and immediately he saw the mountain covered with the angels of the Lord's hosts, right?
The army of God there to defend Elisha.
And Elisha had insight into this.
This young man who was serving him did not.
And he was able to lift the veil on him, see it.
He prayed to God and said, God, will you open his eyes so that he can not worry, so that he is not afraid, so that he can see the fighting that is going on.
This isn't just a bunch of bad people showing up.
This isn't just a bunch of demons attacking us.
We've got an army behind us that's bigger than theirs.
We're going to be fine.
And in my experience, sneaking into Bohemian Grove and covering skull and bones.
Which still freaks me out, by the way, that you snuck into Bohemian Grove.
That's crazy.
They could have killed you.
But the issue is, when you know when God's with you, you feel this big force behind you.
And you have to go.
But it's beyond confidence.
It's not a power trip.
It's like, wow, I'm in a river.
This is unstoppable.
I think about it makes tears in my eyes.
It's powerful when you realize you've got all these angels with you.
It's big.
Well, and it talks about this heavenly host and this cloud of witnesses in the New Testament.
Like, this is a topic that you would not have had any trouble talking with somebody about at the time of Christ or shortly after when these books are being written because people understood this.
Now today, we look at it as a cult, or we look at it as a scary movie, or maybe it's poltergeist, or maybe it's, you know, something that you see around Halloween, and we think, oh yeah, it's this, he has dead people, whatever, I don't know if spirits are real, but a lot of people are willing to believe in some form of spiritual things that are happening.
But more and more people that don't have God, but if you fight evil, but you don't have Christ, people are getting demonically attacked.
Yes.
Very prominent people, and I can't say names, but I think how dumb the devil is.
Like, if I didn't believe in God and now a demon attacks me, I'm going to go to Christ.
But a lot of people get scared, like, what do I do, demon?
What do I do?
Yeah.
But it's definitely going on.
Well, and a lot of people think that demonic warfare is going to manifest by some coffin opening and something rising up out of the coffin with cobwebs on it.
A lot of times it's just people being mean to you, lying about you.
Manipulation.
Manipulation.
I gotta tell you, the strongest thing I ever saw was about Six years ago, my youngest daughter was only about six months old, and my wife, who went to Washington State University there in Seattle, wanted to go see some of her old friends.
So we go for five days.
So I'm going to go out on the street.
And I was literally attacked everywhere.
There's video, people dumping coffee on me, all this.
But it was like I'd go around corners and it was like they would, they were talking like demons.
Someone's on video, they would finish the sentences.
And I was like, and you can feel like it was a domain, like the Bible says, like that was under its control, like a satanic 5G or something.
And I was just like, and like my camera guy, who normally is fearless, he goes, I can't come out with you anymore.
We're not.
It'll freak you out!
He was saying it, and it was like...
And it was like they were boiling out of businesses and stuff to attack us, and they like knew.
They weren't even watching it online.
It was like there was some kind of like satanic bandwidth or communication system.
And so when you're in a city totally controlled by the devil, which is happening to San Francisco, Seattle, these places are falling.
There's feces, needles everywhere, and like mentally ill people everywhere.
And it's like it's spreading.
It's spreading.
For sure.
It's a weapon.
So for those of you who think, oh come on Alex, you're being a little kind of out there on this stuff.
Daniel.
Daniel had some pretty good insight into this and most people miss it.
So Daniel 10.13.
This is Daniel praying for 21 days and getting a vision from God, right?
That's delivered by an angel.
But listen to how he describes this.
The angel describes this.
This is the angel talking to Daniel in verse 13.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me 21 days and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.
This is an angel talking that when you started praying 21 days ago, Daniel, the word went out from God for me to come to you.
And this demonic stronghold withheld me for 21 days until I called Michael, the archangel who is known for battle and war.
Gabriel is known for being the messenger.
Michael had to come and take care of this power, which is not going to be a contest at all.
And then I was able to get to you.
He's basically cluing you into, there's more going on here than you think.
But here's where it gets really interesting in verse 20.
He goes, and then he said, do you know why I've come to you?
Read this last part is the part that just gives me chills.
And now I must return to fight with the Prince of Persia.
And when I have gone forth, indeed, the Prince of Greece will come.
He's talking about these ruling demonic forces in these places, not an actual person.
The Principality of the Air.
They have office over the region.
Exactly.
So when you talk about going to an area in Seattle and all of a sudden you're in some kind of domain where it seems like this area is in some way different and it's this demonically controlled place.
That's what Daniel's talking about right here.
This is what the angel is telling Daniel.
It's like you're walking down the street and I goes, we're going to get you.
If you were going to get you in the same voice, you're around the corner.
That's right.
We told you we're going to get you.
And you're like, Whoa, something like it's like it's synced up.
Either no more mushrooms or this is really, I wasn't on my shirt.
No, I'm just kidding.
That's what I'm saying.
You get you.
No, but that's, that's what people would say.
Like, Oh, he's out of his mind.
He's doing drugs.
He's got a mental illness.
I've got more of these things that have happened.
I don't even tell them because they'll do that.
But I mean, this is totally sober.
This has happened and it's like really weird.
It's a hundred percent true.
Michael Zimmerman is a great guy, but a good Christian guy.
And he was like, I got to stay in the hotel.
This is too demonic.
He goes, I can't do this.
No, absolutely.
It was like, they were running out of buildings at us and just like,
so I had a sort of similar experience, except it was in similar in that I knew
that I was in like, Enemy territory.
So I went to Cambodia and I was working with a missions organization and the first time we went over there it was about teaching.
We went out of the villages and we taught people and showed the Jesus video and there's like a hundred people that came to Christ.
It was amazing.
And so I worked with them and I came back after a month and we went back because we found out that human trafficking was a huge problem in Cambodia.
Second worst place in the world for it next to Thailand.
And so we discovered that at the end of our trip.
And so I'm on the board of this missions organization, me and a couple of guys.
And so I go back there to kind of help set up something to help fight human trafficking, right?
Because people can get out of human trafficking but then they fall right back into it because they have no idea how to make a living.
Well one of the things that we did while we were there was we went to the local dump because that's where a lot of children unfortunately live in the dump and they're looking for scrap metal and things like that and so ministry partners set up there.
And so I start seeing some kids playing with a ball down the alley and I went down there and started playing volleyball with them.
Just playing with them just because I wanted to interact it was not part of I wasn't set up to do anything I was just like I'm gonna go over there and interact with these kids and we walked a little further and Someone ran down the alley to one of the people that was Cambodian that was with us and said, hey, you have to leave.
And this person looked at me, and then the person from Cambodia, who we were with, looked at me and said, they're saying we need to go.
And I looked at their face and immediately I felt it.
I was like, there is something demonic here, and immediately we left.
Like, we got on our horse and got out of there.
And that was just like, that moment where you feel it, like you said, like you could just feel it.
We then went from there over to, now I'm forgetting the name of the place that we went, but one of the biggest, the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.
Largest Islamic country in the world.
It's not the Middle East.
Most people don't realize that.
It's the largest Islamic country in the world.
The entire time we were there, we felt that.
Like, you feel this demonic oppression.
And it is absolutely real.
That's when people get back to America.
It's ground.
And we're the best house in a bad neighborhood.
We're far from perfect, folks.
But people that haven't traveled the world, they don't know how oppressive you can feel it.
Yeah, absolutely.
And so, when we talk about spiritual warfare, we talk about, you know, things that maybe are influences, or these principalities, or these powers.
And I mentioned earlier when we started that this is Satan's domain.
Well, there's a verse in Revelation, I'm sorry, in chapter 12, verse 7 through 9, And it talks about war breaking out in heaven.
It says, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, so that's Satan.
And the dragon and his angels fought back.
Most people don't realize, like, the angels, they weren't, you know, like these machines.
They basically had some kind of agency, some kind of free will to be able to make a choice
because they fight against God, which is silly, but a third of the angels are actually thrown
out, and I'll tell you that in a minute.
But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil, and Satan, who leads the whole world astray.
He was hurled to earth and his angels with him.
And in Revelation it talks about woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because his time is short.
He knows his time is short and you guys are going to have to deal with the fallout.
This is his world.
A third of the angels came down with him.
Those are the demons.
And he is the god of this world.
Yes, he has the rights to do what he wants to some degree in this world.
Now, there are limitations to that, thank God.
Otherwise, no flesh would survive.
So thank God for that being held off a little bit.
But it's not just... Okay, so Satan's here.
There's these principalities.
What about guys like Gavin Newsom?
I think that's what we mentioned earlier in the other show we did, where we talked about... Well, the people that are demonically influenced... Right.
AOC, I think you mentioned.
Well, I mean, when you... I mean, when I think you look at any... AOC, Biden, they're completely taken over.
With Newsom, their influence, they're also taken over.
It's just... I mean, I... Anybody can see it, but if you have any discernment, you look at Newsom, it's like when you look at...
You look at Bill Clinton, you look at Hillary, looks like a big clown demon.
I'd say she's about nine percent level as bad as Newsom.
But my spirit tells me Newsom is about the most evil thing I've ever seen walking around.
Right.
I mean, that's like, the Holy Spirit tells me that's really bad right there.
Right.
And so don't think of evil as coming and being somebody who's committing murder, right?
That is an evil act.
But what I'm saying is it may not be that obvious.
Right?
You start to see that, but as conservatives we see it because it's a very obvious thing.
We're like, oh my gosh, as a conservative Christian, I look at Gavin Newsom and I see what his policies are and I'm absolutely repulsed by it.
So that's a very easy thing for me to see.
But if you're somebody maybe who is a Democrat, you may look at it and be like, oh, well, you just disagree with him.
That's not what we're talking about.
Like these kinds of people, demonic Influence, if you will.
C.S.
Lewis wrote a book called The Screwtape Letters, which is basically... Powerful.
It's incredible, right?
It's basically this correspondence between demons, kind of a newer demon.
Trying to figure out how to get this young fighter pilot to not come to God, and of course they lose in the end.
Exactly.
But it's tactics.
It's like, well, have you tried this?
Have you tried this?
Have you tried to make work so important that he neglects his family, and so that his family disintegrates, and his kids hate him, and his wife hates him, and so he'll run away from God because he'll blame God.
Like, it's all of these different things that the demon is trying to do to influence.
And so when we talk about it- What's crazy is it's real.
It's like Avatar.
Yeah.
They're right there, right beyond light vision.
And now, the funny thing is, none of the globalists are atheists now.
If you look at the quantum mechanics and the physicists now, they all know dark matter is five times stronger.
They all call it a simulation, but it's just God holding this together.
I mean, they know this is not all there is.
We see a very limited spectrum, and there are these things that want to destroy us.
Absolutely.
And the battle is real.
And if you are not prepared, no flesh is going to be saved.
Right?
And it's not like we're up here playing Dungeons and Dragons for liberals to tune in.
I know our general audience gets this, but to the average trendy,
oh, these guys just have this fiction book from thousands of years ago,
and they're trying to make it real, and they have this normalcy bias,
and they're just confirming everything.
No, the whole world's being built like it said it would be.
The whole thing's happening, and humans are going out of their way
to screw themselves and screw others and hurt children, and saying they do it for the devil.
And I've looked at it, it's real.
And there's this army that is out to keep us from doing what we're about to do.
Because God said, the eye hasn't seen, the ear's not here.
No one knows what God's got in store for us.
So we've got some big mission that we're not supposed to do.
People get mad at God and say, well, why did God do this?
You know, the Satanist always says, well, God's a Satanist.
Why did God do this?
No, God gave us free will and gave us a choice because God loves us.
And then God even gave us a cheat sheet.
So people need to know, folks, just believe in Christ, know the devil's real, pray to God, pray for Christ to protect you, and everything will open up.
And your problems will literally not go away, but you'll see God in your life and you'll see it push back.
You'll see the beginning of victory.
And I'll tell you, I've always been a Christian, but it's the last 10 years or so that I really try to promote Jesus every day that the enemy came after me.
People say, well, then you shouldn't do that.
No, I should do that.
But I'm telling you, they don't like it, folks.
They know it's powerful.
They, I mean, like nothing is even 10% close to it.
Like you say Jesus Christ to the devil, to his demons, the things, I know prominent household names that were being attacked viciously by basically demons.
And they didn't know why, they didn't believe in God, but they were doing things double in length.
And they went to mystics, they went to Jewish leaders, and said, oh, you know, what do I wear this Kabbalah bracelet, say these prayers?
Didn't help them.
And they got told, pray to Jesus, and when these things attack, say the name of Jesus, you are commanded to leave, and gone!
Now, look, that's the name they can't handle, folks!
Everything's about the fruits, the proof.
Like, you detonate a hydrogen bomb, it blows up.
You say, Jesus, it blows up.
There's nothing like it.
It's real, okay?
Right.
Christ has the deed, went to hell, got the keys, but can't free the earth until we join him.
And as soon as we do that, it's game over.
Yeah.
There is no stronger name, right?
There's no name under heaven given to man that can absolutely carry the power of Jesus' name.
But as somebody who maybe is not a believer, Like, if you're not on that team, you are susceptible to some of these things a little bit more than maybe a believer would be.
I don't say that to scare you, I say that to caution you.
Don't play around with these things.
Because no amount of you saying no as a non-believer and not invoking... Your will cannot stand against Satan!
No, absolutely not.
And also, do me a favor.
Just get that to your head.
Do me a favor.
I feel, so, this is something that a lot of you need to hear.
Satan is blamed for a lot of things that he didn't do.
When you do stuff that's really dumb... A lot of it's us.
Exactly.
You have to take some personal responsibility, so don't look at this as the boogeyman situation where it's like, well, he did it, right?
No, but there is some very real stuff that is going on in the world right now that there is a spiritual battle that is taking place.
This is not just one side on the left versus one side on the right, and they have different ideas.
And it's not even really about politics, because at the end of the day, none of this... I'm a monarchist!
By definition, I am a monarchist.
I am wanting God to come and rule and reign.
That's my monarchist.
It doesn't mean that I don't love my country, I do.
It doesn't mean that I don't want America to thrive.
I do, but I understand that it is a bigger game than just what we have here, and we need to be prepared for it.
So fight for here, it's very important, but understand that there's another battle going on, and you have to be prepared for it.
And you understand their tactics a little bit better when you look at something like this.
And Alex, I mean, I didn't pay much attention to politics in the 90s.
I really didn't.
I was doing my thing.
I kind of knew some stuff.
I didn't really care a whole lot about a bunch of different topics that were going on, so I didn't pay much attention.
But the homosexual agenda that was being pushed on people was something that did cross my radar because it was being talked about a little in churches, and it was really being pushed on my generation.
And so a lot of people out there, we have people that watch this show that would say that they are gay or lesbian or whatever, right?
And that's fine.
I'm not saying that you should do that.
I think the Bible does call that sin.
You have to address that.
If you have a problem with that, you have to take it up with God and not me.
But I do love you as a person, just like I love every sinner out there.
in the world. But there's what's attached to it. Exactly. I never would have thought that we would
go the steps that we've gone to but those steps well what about pedophilia what about this trans
thing what about all of these other issues. Exactly as soon as we said hey we don't hate you
we disagree with you but it opened the gate up to just. And they said no no that's a straw man.
Come on, you're just making up an argument.
That's not real.
This thing isn't going to happen.
No one wants to sterilize your children.
No.
Oh, I remember the really smart, hardcore Christians who I even kind of poo-pooed because I'm like, look, gay people, whatever.
I love God, but whatever, you know.
Why are you obsessing on that?
But then they were right.
They said, once that first domino falls, bestiality, pedophilia, and it's all true.
And we're living in a day where it's like we look back and we're like, gosh, we were more right than we thought.
Yeah.
And Christians were dead on.
What's crazy is the Christians in the 80s and 90s I wish they were here now because they were superstars of reality and now maybe they're censored or I don't know but I don't really I know they're there but I don't see like Christians should be doing a big victory lap like everything we said is coming true you always say hey you know Elon Musk said we need more conspiracy theories they all came true or what conspiracies didn't turn out to be true.
People say, Oh, Jones, Alex Jones is pretty.
I knew most of this was in the Bible.
I had no idea the frogs were being turned gay.
I thought you were just kidding.
That was just me reading some report.
Actually, we read a story the other day.
We're like, well, son of a gun.
I just saw that in a report too, so they just used me out of context.
They knew it was true.
They used me making a joke about it to make it a joke.
I know it was a joke, but it was like, I took a joke because you can't even joke and not be right, Alex.
That's the problem with all this stuff.
We can't even make it up anymore because it keeps coming true.
And we're like, all right, well, they won't.
Certainly they won't.
So listen, for people that aren't Christian and don't like the cosmology of God and his machines, these angels that have free will and us, There's a bunch of dimensions.
We're on a planet.
There's all sorts of stuff swarming around in space.
We're under attack and this message is kill yourself.
Humans are bad.
Murder yourself.
And by the way, we love Satan and we want to rape kids.
I mean, the people running things are bad.
Well, that stuff's not just there already.
It's celebrated.
It's celebrated.
That's the thing.
It's celebrated.
There's more human trafficking going on right now than any other time in human history.
It's huge.
It is one of the most... When I say human trafficking, I'm not talking about like a 20-year-old woman.
That's horrific.
That is as bad as it needs to be.
There's another level of kids There are people on this planet that pay money to have sex with children.
And it is not being met with the kind of thing, I think Donald Trump's response, if you're in human trafficking, death penalty.
That's the kind of response you should have to evil at that level.
But there is a group of people on this planet that is pushing the agenda of, hey, let's normalize pedophilia.
Let's normalize these kinds of love is love.
OK, so there's no restrictions on that no matter how old they are.
And again, if we put up with that, if we'll let them have sex with kids, folks, there's no limit.
I mean, that's the final thing.
If we won't protect our children, God is going to turn his back on us.
Well, some of the most severe people look at the Canaanite genocide, I think is what they call it in scripture, where when they come back... Exactly.
You read my mind because that society, what they would do is they had a god called Molech and he had hands on him.
They would put fire underneath that and heat this, the metal hands up to where they were glowing hot and then put live children on them to sacrifice to that god.
Think about that.
They barbecue their babies.
Exactly.
And we think about that abstractly.
God saw it as His children, and He wiped that out.
He wiped that out of Canaan.
So when you want to talk about... Well, He told the Israelites, I'm giving you an order, kill these people.
Get rid of every single man, woman, and child.
And you look at that and you're like, oh my gosh, how do you deal with that?
You need to understand what was happening there.
And that sounds really, really, really harsh.
And I, listen, it is.
But God sees sin, and he didn't want that infection spreading to the rest of the world.
Because that would have meant more death, more destruction.
And you need to understand that.
Like, that's what's happening today.
You know what we're doing?
We're not necessarily heating up the altar and placing a child on it, but we are throwing this child on the altar of medical intervention to change their sex when they're seven years old.
Which is a form of human sacrifice to take their fertility.
Yeah.
I mean, think about what you're doing to that person.
Here's the thing.
People that have abortions and don't know that it's a child can repent and say they're sorry later.
Yeah.
But I could do like 10 hours on liberals, Gloria Steinem.
Yeah, I killed that little son of a bitch.
It is a human.
And I killed him and I like it.
And women go, and I get pregnant just to kill him.
I know.
You're doing self-talk videos celebrating that they're jumping up and down on doors trying to kill him.
Crazy.
I forgot the name again.
Church of Satan, what are they called?
Temple of Satan.
Satanic Temple.
Satanic Temple.
They have filed in Texas and a bunch of states.
They just got denied by like the Supreme Court.
Temple of Satan.
Saying, no, when we kill babies, it's a ritual.
They said it's our First Amendment under our religion to kill babies.
Really?
Yeah, they came out.
Unbelievable.
And they just got overturned.
I know that doesn't, listeners, I know that doesn't sound real.
I bet the crew can pull it up right now.
It's one of those other things that's gonna come out and be like, yeah, he was 100% serious.
Temple of Satan says abortion, part of First Amendment ritual.
Oh, you know what?
I bet yes.
Probably in response to Roe v. Wade.
Yeah.
Probably trying to say, like, no, that's part of our First Amendment rights.
God, I just got overturned by a federal appeals court.
My point is, is that they're admitting it's a sacrament.
And let me tell you something.
I've gone out and protested for 30 years at abortion clinics.
Even before I got on air, I was doing that.
And you think, okay, I'm going to go stand 100 feet away like you're supposed to under federal law and hold the sign up.
The doctors come out.
You've seen the videos going, I've been a killer and I love the devil!
And weirdos show up in black Mercedes and hold stuff up in front of you and yell at you and spit on you and, we're getting those kids, you won't stop us!
And there's hundreds of videos, thousands of videos.
You go to the Texas Statehouse when they're trying to pass these laws and there's women Suits Queen.
I love Satan.
Devil!
I'm gonna kill you, Satan!
And you think, oh, they're just doing that to shock us.
No, they're coming under this.
Yeah.
Because this is the murder of children.
This is the Satan's, like, paycheck, man.
This is, like, this is their thing.
I mean, remember Schumer that time, never shows emotion.
About two years ago, he goes, you get rid of Roe Wade, you have some in the home, and we're gonna get you!
I mean it was just like, that is their quarry.
That is the lion over the baby.
Yeah, well I mean it's 60 million plus Americans have been killed.
64 million or something.
It's an incredible number, but again, we look back and Alex, what I said about Molech, most people probably recoiled a little bit.
I mean, people may have actually gasped.
Somebody may have cried from hearing that.
What about 60 million kids killed in the womb?
What about federal documents, which I heard about 20 years ago, that confirmed the last three years in lawsuits by LifeSite and others, where it says the university wants the fetus delivered heart beating.
They're delivering babies to these facilities.
I know it doesn't sound real.
For harvesting.
For harvesting.
Yeah.
I mean, unfortunately it does, but look, that's the debauchery that we're living under.
I think you made the comment, I can't remember if it was on this show or the last show, where we basically said we're the best house in a bad neighborhood.
We still got some really big problems in our house, and this is not just people being misled.
I don't want you to think that, because if you think it's just people being misled, then you're not going to understand and appreciate the
situation.
Well, that's the thing. 20 years ago, most liberals were still nice people,
misguided, who thought they were the good guys. I go to their events, I cover them, so do you.
I mean, I'd say half of them are demon possessed now, and another 30, 40% of what's left is crazed,
and maybe 10% still deceived.
I mean, they are foaming at the mouth.
So when I act all crazy and do that, there's videos of all that.
I'm just doing imitations.
Yeah.
I'm a good, you know, imitator.
They are, I mean, they are, they are not, they are devil worshipers.
They absolutely are, and they're being controlled by that, but it's a bigger picture.
So you can fight all you want, and like I said, you should.
You should fight.
I'm so glad Donald Trump's legacy, if it is nothing else, is the Supreme Court.
That is his legacy.
He did a great job there.
He did a phenomenal job.
And that's Trump's biggest problem, is he was like me until about five years ago.
Myself, five years ago.
He thought he could beat it himself.
I know people behind the scenes that know him.
He really knows God now.
He's praying every day.
He's really, that's why they're so scared.
But I mean, and I've always loved Christ, but I still thought until about five years ago, It was still me, like, I'm gonna beat him, and I got this will and the strength and some pride.
And I really realized, God's like, no, you're actually powerless, it's all me.
And it actually takes the weight off you, but you still fight, but you just go, no, I don't have to prove anything, I'm just gonna have to do what God says.
Well, you know what?
Go where God tells you to go.
Do what God tells you to do.
Let the Holy Spirit speak through you.
Let God get these victories because ultimately what you want is change.
Ultimately, what we wanted was Roe v. Wade struck down.
Now, it's not perfect because it does leave it to the states.
I think that's the best way to do it.
I just want the states to do the right thing.
That's why it's not perfect because some states are celebrating it and saying, hey, we'll pay for you to have your employees come here and get the abortion still, right?
But we've got a culture of death.
This is a spiritual battle.
This is a spiritual battle that we've been fighting since we were created.
We've constantly been lied to and told that we can be God, and yet we go out and act like Satan all the time.
Humans, left to their own devices, do not get better.
That's not how we operate.
We're very selfish beings.
And so if you think that humanity's answer is just for everybody to get out of the way and that religion needs to leave us alone and that we can all just kind of be our own gods and we're going to get better, we're going to love one another.
You're a fool.
You've not studied history.
Well, let me just say this to people.
What you're saying, Gerald, is so on target.
Folks, I know a lot of new viewers because I care about the regular viewers that are awake and we love you and you're the reason the show's here and you support it.
But the mission is to reach the new people.
The devil's real, God's real, this energy's real, and people out there that feel alone and don't know why things don't make sense, just give it a try.
Reach out to God and say, are you real?
Show me in my spirit.
Because our God is the real God.
It doesn't rape you.
It doesn't take over your free will like Satan does.
You've got to really ask God to come knock at your door.
Just pray to God tonight.
Start praying every morning, every night.
Say, I want to be good.
I want to know the future.
I want to know what's happening.
I want to know your vision for me.
And I'm open, and show me.
And God is going to show you.
And you may have committed a lot of really bad acts.
God may cut your heart and say you need to repent of that.
Because God has to open the channel up and get the repenting going where he can really beam you the information.
Because you've got to reject what you've done wrong and then kick that trash out the door.
But I'm telling you, God is so real and is just waiting to take your hand.
Please take God's hand.
Yeah, absolutely.
And he wants what's best for you.
Life is not found in the way that the world wants you to live.
It's not.
And you know what?
The Andrew Tate's of the world with the video, you know, the webcam stuff that he did, that was not where life was found.
Having all the money, all the cars.
And notice that was used to hurt him bad.
Exactly.
That's not where life is found.
Life is not found in fame.
It's not found in fortune.
It's not found in having every single pleasure that you can possibly imagine.
People have tried.
And you may be able to reach certain people.
I'm not putting Andrew down, but here's my Bugatti and here I am and I'm, you know, it's like, yeah, you're getting a bunch of like, People that are lost, like we can all sit here and show off some wealth.
What does that do?
The wealth is God, the wealth is humanity, the wealth is our future, the wealth is our consciousness.
It's all His and can go away in a moment, right?
And so there is a spiritual battle that is going on.
You need to understand it.
You don't need to be afraid, but you need to understand that it is real and that it's happening all around right now.
Like the scriptures that I read just told you it was.
That stuff didn't stop and go away just because we're 2,000 years past No, we've just forgotten the truth.
For sure.
We've forgotten it and we've, honestly what we've done is we've made it into a holiday.
We've made spiritual warfare into a holiday.
We're like, Halloween, we get to celebrate ghosts and all this stuff.
Well, look at how the Jews were this tiny little group and were able to defeat all their enemies and all this stuff, because they figured this out.
We're calling in the angels.
And the minute they didn't, the minute they went against God's plan, they started losing the battles and they literally changed real time.
Real time and won.
Following God's plan.
Look it up in the Old Testament.
And some of these battles are like, all right, we're going to go do our own thing.
Nope, you're going to lose.
Okay, we're going to change and do God's thing.
Wow, we won with only 300 people.
That's incredible.
They, and you can say, well, that's a story.
No, I've experienced where I literally just go, God, I can't do it.
Help me.
And they're like, it changes like boom.
Yeah.
And I'm already in line with God.
I'm already, but I'm a, you gotta really just go.
I know you're going to do it.
Please.
Yeah, exactly.
Of course it can't be some prayer.
Like give me a $10 million.
It means you ask me.
It has to be in line with God's will.
Yeah.
But if you ask God to do something that's in line with God's will, it's going to happen.
Yeah.
So look, if you're, if you're somebody who has never prayed to God before, like Alex said, just pray and say, God, look, I don't understand this.
Just have a genuine conversation.
God, I think you're real.
I think I need a savior because I know certainly that left to my own devices that I'm going to do really terrible things because I've done really terrible things in the past.
Maybe I'm better than my friend across the street, but I'm still not good because ultimately I believe that you alone are good.
So can you just help me understand this?
Can you help me understand what it means to pray?
What it means to be saved?
What it means to understand that Christ died for my sins?
What it means that you knew all of this was going to happen and you valued free will so much that you sacrificed your own son who had never been apart from you in ways that we can't even comprehend on a cross.
And you knew it was going to take that to make sure that I had the opportunity today To get down on my knees, sit on my bed, stand here wherever I have time, and pray to you.
You did all of that just so that I would have this opportunity today.
And just see what happens, guys.
And if you have questions about it, if you need some guidance on where to go to find a church or anything like that, just shoot us an email.
You can do it at tipsatladderwithprider.com.
We'll make sure that we check that.
Maybe we'll set up another email for it later.
But look, this is an opportunity.
There's a battle going on.
It's happening all around you.
You're probably affected by it more than you know, but I guarantee you the country that you are in is fighting it tooth and nail right now.
And we're not always winning and we need to.
So, thanks very much guys.
Alex, thanks for being with me.
I really do appreciate it.
That has been Gerald apologizes apologetics.
