| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I hope you're ready to have your mind blown.
This is Mike Adams here with the Church of Natural Abundance.
The Welcome to my show!
On election day is what it looks like if I'm counting it correctly.
But I want to show you something first.
Before we begin, we are going to read today from Acts.
Yes, Acts chapter 2 will begin.
And of course, Acts could be called the Acts of the Apostles.
It's believed to have been written by Luke.
So this is a New Testament book that is extremely important.
It's going to blow your mind.
Even if you've read Acts before, you have...
I'm certain you have never heard it this way, the way you're about to hear it.
But we need to start out with a video.
This is a real-life video captured on an action camera in Australia of a relatively small comet.
It's interacting with Earth, you know, colliding, but not really.
It actually blows up in the atmosphere.
So it's an airburst comet, which means it's not large enough to hit the ground or hit the ocean.
But I want you to watch this video because it's a real video taken in 2016 on the beach of Australia.
I don't know which beach, but this shows you What is described in the book of Revelation and also in the book of, well, the prophet Joel and the prophet Ezekiel and some of the other things that we have covered, right?
But especially in Revelation, the seven trumpets and the seven bowls, and they always are described as things like...
You know, a horseman or Jesus on a horse coming out of the sky followed by horsemen or a bright luminous angel coming from the, as the sky opens or heaven opens and then the angel comes in with a loud booming voice and then there's great fire and trembling, okay?
These are the kinds of things, Matthew 24, don't forget Matthew 24, Jesus describes this to Matthew.
So If you want to know what this actually looks like, here is a very small sample, a very small comet, maybe an asteroid, that doesn't even, it's not even big enough to hit the water.
But you can see how this could be confused with, you know, angels and booming voices and trumpets from heaven.
Check this out.
Check this out.
All right.
Did you enjoy that?
Mm-hmm.
A little angel pouring out its bowl.
At first, it's silent because the sound waves haven't arrived yet, and it just looks like a quiet, luminous light, like the light of God from heaven.
No wonder ancient people thought this was always an angel from heaven.
And I want to, let me ask my editor, freeze it at second 21.
So right at 21 seconds or thereabout.
I want you to freeze it and show the freeze frame there.
And I want you to notice that in this frozen frame, what does it look like this comet has emanating from it?
A crown.
You notice a crown of sort of light spears.
One of them is going down and some out the sides and actually some at the top.
So when you see, or when you read in the Bible, many of these accounts of angels coming out of heaven with a luminous face and fire at its feet, and it has a crown.
And you've also heard of the various descriptions of the beast in Daniel, I think, chapter 7, or in Revelation, and the beast has Sometimes a crown, sometimes horns.
Well, these also could be, they look like horns or they look like a crown.
So this also explains, you know, why ancient people, if they saw this, if the angels gave them this vision, sort of played this video for them of what's coming in the future, if they saw this in their mind, they would say, wow, it's an angel with a crown.
So this is why in Revelation 16, I think, or 19, it talks about something coming out of the sky on a giant horse, and then horsemen with it, and everybody assumed it was Christ on a horse.
It's not.
It's a comet.
And it's the comet that defeats evil.
It's not Christ that defeats evil.
It's the Lord that defeats evil with a comet by destroying human civilization.
And it comes out of the sky, and it collides with Earth.
And yeah, you could call it Christ, I suppose, but it's really not Christ.
It's a comet just with a label of King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Yeah, because of how powerful it is.
So now, this is all relevant to what we're about to read in Acts chapter 2, which begins with a speaking in tongues incident.
And this is, we think this is written by Luke, of course, sort of These are the Acts according to the Apostles or the Acts according to Luke.
So we'll start at the top of chapter 2.
This is going to be very interesting.
I may divide this into two sermons.
There's a lot to cover.
I'm not even sure if we can get through it all, frankly, but let's begin.
Chapter 2, verse 1.
When the day of Pentecost had finally come, they were all with one accord in one place, so we gathered them together, and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and Now, this is not a comet.
This is the presence of the Lord.
So, I don't know if you know this, but a lot of people who have near-death experiences...
When they die and they go into the afterlife, what they see are glowing orbs, and these orbs are often described as angelic beings or just angels that are in the shape of little glowing spheres, actually.
Throughout history or lore of Europe, these have been described as things like willow wisps.
Have you ever heard that term, a willow wisp?
Which is like a glowing orb that is often associated with mysterious phenomena.
Well, this is what's happening here in Acts chapter 2.
So these glowing orbs, which look like fire, hovering over people, and then those people began to speak in tongues as they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
Now, Some of you listening to this, you have been to churches where people spoke in tongues.
And some of you have not.
And some of you who have not may be very skeptical that that could ever happen.
I assure you, it's real.
And I have experienced this personally, myself, in my younger years when I was at a church I don't even know what kind of church it was or, you know, which branch of church it was, but these are hardcore Christians.
And a person that I know was overtaken by the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues, and this person is not a deceiver.
Well, was not.
That person passed away many years ago, but that person began to speak in tongues.
And I've spoken with other members of my own family recently, About this incident, and they say, yeah, it happened all the time.
When they were at church, when they were younger, and people would be overtaken by the Holy Spirit, and they would speak in tongues.
And they're speaking in tongues or different languages that can then be interpreted by another person in the church.
And sometimes, I think the incident that I experienced, the person was speaking in a Native American tongue, like an Indian language language.
But depending on where you are and what's happening, people can speak in different kinds of tongues.
And this is a way for the Holy Spirit to, well, to give words to people and then have them translated.
And to also demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit.
So this is not anything negative or demonic.
This is actually, these are angelic spirits that are giving people the gift of language to speak in different languages.
Okay, so continuing now, verse 5, Acts chapter 2.
And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews.
So at this time, you know, mostly Jews in Jerusalem.
Devout men from every nation under heaven, and when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and they were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
So, right, the people in the room were hearing the speaking, but in their own language, whatever language they spoke.
Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
And how is it that we hear each in our own language in which we were born?
Parthians and Medes and Elamites and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, I'm trying to get all these correct, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes and Cretans and Arabs. both Jews and proselytes and Cretans and Arabs.
Okay, wow.
We hear them speaking in our own tongues.
The wonderful works of God.
So they were all amazed and perplexed.
Yeah, I can't even pronounce all the places these people were from.
Saying to one another, whatever could this mean?
Others, mocking, said they are full of new wine, right?
So the non-believers said, oh, they're just drunk and they're just babbling.
But they weren't babbling.
They were speaking meaningfully in a multitude of languages as the Holy Spirit overtook them.
And spoke to everybody or each person in the language that made sense to them.
Now you may recall if you've heard any of my sermons, or let's say many of my sermons, I've said that God speaks to people in their own language.
So this means, of course, that God speaks every language and that throughout history when God appears to different people in different lands, He speaks to them in different languages.
And I've also said that And this has been controversial for some of the more narrow-minded Christians out there.
I've also said that God appears to people in different forms that are customary and familiar to them.
Which is why Jesus comes to the Middle East appearing as what?
A Middle Eastern man, right?
They didn't send Jesus looking all Chinese, did they?
No, because that would have freaked out the Middle Eastern people.
And by the way, when God speaks to Asian people, Which, obviously, he does.
He speaks to them in their language.
It could be Chinese, it could be Korean, it could be Japanese, etc.
When God, throughout history, when he spoke to Native Americans, he used a Native American language.
When God spoke to Indians, he used their language.
You know, how many languages are there in the history of the world?
Like, a thousand, if you count all the dialects and everything?
More than a thousand.
Well, God spoke to them all in their own language, but God also appears to them all in their own visual language, which is, you know, the 3D person, the physical person.
So this is why some people say, well, Jesus is the only way, you know?
And I say, well, you know...
God is the only way, but God presented Jesus as a Middle Eastern person to the Middle Eastern people, speaking their language and looking like them, sharing their genetics, sharing their bodies, sharing their faces, because that's what they expected.
But God can clearly make other ambassadors and other sons appear to other people in other regions.
To appear in a way that is familiar to them and to teach the same thing to them, by the way, and also on other planets because obviously we are not alone in the universe.
Why would God create billions of planets and only populate one of them?
I mean, not just billions of planets, but billions of galaxies with billions of stars each.
So we're talking about...
What would that be?
10 to the 9th times 10 to the 9th, so 10 to the 18th, maybe stars and planets.
And, you know, why would he only have life on one of them?
Well, he wouldn't.
That would be insane.
So God speaks, let me just say it this way, God speaks to all beings across the entire cosmos and He appears to them with a being that is familiar to them.
I've jokingly said the eight-armed, the floating octopus creature on a gas planet.
Yeah, that could be.
God could send an ambassador that's a floating octopus teacher to the octopus civilization on planet Octopi or whatever.
That's actually not that far from the truth.
But God will send an ambassador to all different people across the cosmos because when God decided to run this massive simulation to create this 3D space, you know, the Big Bang and all the atomic physics and the matter and, you know, the table of elements, and here let's have carbon and hydrogen.
Let's have giant flaming balls of hydrogen in the sky and let's create rules for nuclear fusion and fission and everything.
He did that as an experiment.
Because what was the experiment?
Let's give them free will and find out what happens.
You know, that's where God got really adventurous, right?
The Creator's like, let's just see if we can create people who are good on purpose.
Like, they actually want to be good people.
And of course, Earth has failed.
The Jews have failed.
Christians have largely failed.
And that's why God ultimately ends the whole simulation with the seven trumpets, I suppose, unless we change course.
But I don't think God does that to every planet.
I think that Out of the whole cosmos, God has, you know, He's keeping tabs on everything, and He's speaking to everybody in their own languages, and He's got ambassadors in all the different civilizations on all the planets, and some of them are doing great.
Some of them are obedient to God.
Some of them, you know, honor their Creator and are good creatures or people or octopi or whatever they are.
But on Earth, God's very unhappy, and He's unhappy with the Jews in particular, but most of humanity also.
So, you see what I mean?
We can't even read the book of Acts without getting into the entire cosmos because it is all related.
So, back to Luke, and now we'll bring in Peter.
Peter stands up.
This is verse 14.
Peter stands up.
Okay.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and heed my words.
For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.
Like, getting tipsy kind of early.
No.
You know, the Holy Spirit is speaking to these people.
He says, but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel.
Okay?
And then he quotes the prophet Joel.
And guess what he quotes from Joel?
Guess what he quotes?
Oh yeah, he quotes what we quoted from Joel when we covered Joel in a previous sermon, which is the reference to God destroying human civilization out of wrath and fury and disappointment because, well, humans have become incredibly disappointing and have turned against God and have become wicked, even back in the day of Luke, in the day of Peter, in the day of Christ.
It hasn't gotten better since then.
But here's what he quotes.
Here's what Peter quotes from Joel out of the Old Testament.
All right, here it is.
Listen carefully.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of my spirit on all flesh and Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.
Your young men shall see visions.
Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on my menservants and on my maidservants, I will pour out my spirit in those days.
And they shall prophesy.
Now, what does it mean to pour out my spirit?
That is not an act of love.
That is an act of wrath.
Because remember, in Revelation, the angels pour out their bowls.
And when God is unhappy, Usually with Israel, he talks about pouring out his spirit upon them, even in Ezekiel 38, by the way.
Same thing.
He's pouring out his spirit.
It's not love.
It's fury.
It's judgment.
Okay?
And it says, and they shall prophesy because the angels gave the prophecy of Revelation to John.
And that became the book of Revelation.
All right, now continuing.
Remember, this is Peter saying, Quoting Joel, here we go.
I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
Huh, I wonder what that could be.
Wonders in the heavens, yeah, like giant flaming space rocks coming out of the sky on fire.
And he says blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
Yeah, what's that refer to?
The seven trumpets.
Well, folks, this is a straight-up reference to the comet impacts.
This is exactly what Jesus describes in Matthew 24.
We've gone over this a hundred times.
So when the sun is turned to darkness, it's because the comet impact hits the earth and puts all this particulate matter into the atmosphere.
So the sun goes dark, the moon is turned into blood, which means it turns reddish because of all the dust in the sky.
So the moon's not white or yellowish, it's more reddish, so the moon becomes blood-looking.
And he says, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord, and day of the Lord is the code phrase that refers to the seventh trumpet that exterminates all of humanity.
And you've heard me talk about this, and we have quoted this numerous times.
And this has been invoked throughout both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and also in the book of Revelation and so on.
So the day of the Lord, the day of the Lord is the day of final judgment against humanity in which all of human civilization is destroyed.
All right, now continuing, this is the final verse of, again, Peter quoting Joel.
In Acts chapter 2.
Okay.
And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
All right.
That's it.
Now, what's that referring to?
This is referring to, of course, what is detailed in Revelation chapter 21, which is the post-tribulation rapture.
This is the moment at which everybody is dead and then everybody is lifted and judged and Judged based on their deeds, judged based on their book of life.
If they are a good person, they are lifted into heaven to join with Christ and the Lord.
If they are evil and wicked, then they are sent to hell to burn forever and ever in the lake of fire and brimstone.
And you can have front row seats to the talent show featuring Fauci and, you know, Stalin and I don't know, whoever.
Whoever's all in hell.
There's going to be a bunch of Christian pastors there, by the way, who are pushing Zionism, too.
There's going to be a whole bunch of Zionists that committed genocide.
It's going to be basically a Zionist talent show in hell, come to think of it, because they are the Antichrist.
They hate Christ.
So why do you suppose Peter chose to remind them of what Joel said that we just read, which is the total destruction of human civilization is Why would Peter remind them of that?
And the answer, which shall become clear here, is because the Jews of Jerusalem in particular had become so evil and so wicked that they needed to be reminded.
I mean, they murdered Christ, right?
I mean, well, they convinced Pilate of Rome to We're good to go.
Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves also know.
Saying, you know this was the Son of God.
God sent his Son to you.
Okay?
Verse 23.
Him being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God.
You...
And he's pointing to the Jews of Jerusalem.
You have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death, whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Okay?
So, this is Peter saying, you Jews...
You murdered Christ.
You murdered the Son of God, and you did it on purpose, and you knew He was the Son of God.
You know, he might as well just add, you know, damn you all, because that's what he means here.
Okay, then what does he quote?
This is verse 25, for David says concerning him.
So understand that Peter is referring to the authorities of the Old Testament that the Jews are supposed to recognize.
You know, if the Jews recognize anybody as an authority because they don't even recognize or they don't follow God's teachings, do they?
And they certainly don't recognize Christ because they demanded Christ be murdered.
So Peter quotes David, all right?
And here's what he quotes from David.
He says, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken.
Therefore, My heart rejoiced, and my tongue was gold.
Moreover, my flesh also will rest in hope.
For you will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.
You have made known to me the ways of life.
You will make me full of joy in your presence.
What is he reminding the Jews of the divinity of God and the importance of living with God at your side?
To have obedience to the Lord and to understand the transformative effects of living with the Lord, living in alignment with what the Lord demands of you.
And not to be wicked and corrupt and evil, okay?
So then Peter goes on and he says in verse 29, Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne.
Okay, right?
He's saying here that Christ is the king of Israel.
Okay?
That Christ became the king of Israel.
Or that Christ became the ultimate authority of Israel, but you, the Jews, you killed him.
Okay, we're getting to that.
Verse 31,"...he foreseeing this spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption." So, you know, Jesus didn't go to hell, and he wasn't corrupt.
He was a sinless man, the Son of God.
Verse 32, this Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses, therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured out this which you now see and hear.
In other words, he's saying to the Jews that even your former king David Told you that someone who sits at the right hand of the Lord is indeed godly, is, in essence, the Son of God.
Okay, so this is Peter arguing to the Jews to say, you should have recognized Christ as God's Son, God's messenger, God's ambassador, you know, God's, well, the Spirit of God in human form.
You should have, but instead you killed Him.
For David did not ascend into the heavens.
This is Peter saying this.
For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool.
Right?
So until we conquer your enemies, which are evil.
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Okay?
So Peter is once again saying to the Jews, essentially, he is saying, And I will separate the words here.
Peter is saying to the Jews, God damn you, because you murdered Christ who is both Lord and Christ.
In other words, you murdered Christ who is the representative of the Lord or the embodiment of the Lord, even though you should have known from what your own King David told you, you should have known that this was the Lord speaking to you and coming to you in the form of Christ.
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart.
You can imagine, you know, whining and crying and playing the victims all the time.
And said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said to them, Repent!
Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For the promise is to you and to your children and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.
So think about what's happening here.
Peter says to the Jews, you killed Christ, who is the representative of the Lord, and the Jews are saying, well, what should we do?
Okay, we hear you.
What should we do?
He says, repent and be baptized in the name of Christ.
Did the Jews do that?
A few, but mostly no.
Mostly no.
They rejected Christ, and to this day, Judaism rejects Christ.
Remember that, because it becomes very important as we continue through this chapter.
So it does say at the end of the chapter that from that day, let's see, 3,000 souls were baptized.
Okay, so 3,000 of the Jews of Jerusalem decided to join with Christ and presumably to ask for forgiveness and to repent of their sins of murdering the Son of the Lord.
And then in chapter 3 of Acts, then we have Peter and John demonstrating the instant healing miracles of the Lord through them.
Now, remember that Jesus granted some of the power of the Lord to his apostles, and they were then able to demonstrate that by instantly healing people.
And they used this in order to further convince the Jews that, in fact, Christ was really the Son of God and that they should respect Jesus and accept Jesus and repent for murdering him.
So chapter 3, verse 1, Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour, and a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, you know, a cripple, born as a cripple, I don't mean anything negative by the use of that term, by the way.
I'm sort of biblical terminology here.
Whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple, who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms and fixing his eyes on him with John.
Peter said, look at us.
So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
Then Peter said, silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Rise up and walk.
Thank you.
So he invoked the name of Christ and the power of the Lord to heal the cripple.
Verse 7, And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them.
Walking, leaping, and praising God.
And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
So this is, again, proving to the Jews that Christ is the legitimate Son of God.
Okay, this is a demonstration of the miracles of God.
Verse 11, now, as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch, which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed.
So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people, men of Israel, why do you marvel at this?
You know, like, why are you amazed when God, through Christ, performs miracles, right?
That's what he's asking.
Or why look so intently at us as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate when he was determined to let him go.
Okay, this is rich.
Let me finish this and then we'll interpret it.
But you denied the Holy One and the just and asked for a murderer to be granted to you and killed the Prince of Life whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know.
Yes, the faith which comes through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
So what's he saying?
Very clearly, Peter and John, well, Peter is speaking here.
He's saying, hey, to all the Jews there, he's saying, why are you so amazed?
This isn't our power.
We did not heal this man.
The Lord, through the power of Jesus, healed this man, and it's the same Lord that you recognize through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
This is the God of our fathers, he says.
And this same God chose Jesus of Nazareth to be his son, the one that you killed, the one that you denied, the one that you demanded be murdered.
Okay?
And then God raised him from the dead, of which we are all witnesses.
We all saw what happened.
Okay?
So further, this is proving to the Jews that Jesus is, or should be, considered the king of Israel.
As the power of Jesus, the name of Jesus, through the power of God, is able to invoke these healing miracles.
Anyway, he continues.
This is Peter.
Verse 17.
Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
You know, you killed Jesus in ignorance.
But those things which God foretold by the month of all his prophets, that the Christ would suffer, he has thus fulfilled.
Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets
For Moses truly said to the fathers, the Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren.
That's Jesus, right?
And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken have also foretold these days.
You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
To you first God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.
And he should have added, And you killed him.
Okay?
So he's saying that every one of you will be destroyed if you do not accept Christ.
So what did the Jews do upon hearing this?
What did the Jews do?
Now, you know today that people of Jewish faith, they really love censorship.
In fact, recent polls on college campuses reveal that Jews, something like 60 to 70% of Jews, support total censorship to silence anyone who criticizes Jews.
Of course, you also know that the ancient Jewish religious leaders demanded that Christ be murdered in order to, of course, silence him because he was teaching things that they did not control.
So you are probably not surprised that in Acts chapter 4, Well, Peter and John are arrested.
They're imprisoned for the crime of teaching the word of Christ to the Jews.
Now, all of you who are Christians, who don't know this, and who are, if you're listening to this and you are supporting Zionism in Israel today, The Zionists are laughing at you because they would throw you in prison.
They murdered your Savior.
They murdered Christ.
And they threw Peter and John in prison and, of course, you know, later on Paul and many others.
They imprisoned them for daring to teach the Word of Christ to the Jews and daring to save Jews.
Think about this.
And even to this day, they also want to imprison people who criticize Israel.
You hear this from prominent influencers and attorneys today who are Jewish.
They demand these powerful, powerful groups to destroy the businesses and the voices of anybody who criticizes Israel.
Even when such criticism is justified to say that it's wrong to commit genocide, it's wrong to slaughter women and children in Palestine, for example.
You know, war crimes against humanity and against children, it's wrong.
They want you silenced.
Nothing has changed in about 2,000 years.
They wanted Peter and John silenced, so they arrested him.
Acts chapter 4.
Now, as they spoke to the people, the priests, the Jewish priests, the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
However, many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about 5,000.
So here are the Jewish priests, very angry that Peter and John are teaching the word of Christ and converting people.
To Christianity, which is really an upgrade from Judaism, to say, you know, Judaism, you know, that's the first five books of the Old Testament, and yeah, you know, you've got Moses, and you've got Jacob, and you've got Abraham, but God sent another messenger since then, and, you know, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and Christ is here to be your teacher, but you murdered him.
Because the Jews didn't want to give up control.
So they murdered the Son of God, and then they claimed to be people of God.
So think about it.
If you murder Christ, that means you are opposed to Christ.
That means you are anti-Christ.
So that means that the Jews are the anti-Christ, right?
By definition, that's what Peter is explaining.
And he's trying to save them and convert them to say, stop being Antichrist.
You should repent, beg for forgiveness, be baptized, and embrace Christ.
Stop being Antichrist.
But of course, the Antichrist forces, i.e.
the Jewish priests, had them arrested.
Verse 5, And it came to pass on the next day that their rulers, elders, and scribes, as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power or by what name have you done this?
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Okay, so this is like the Jewish Inquisition to say, you know, how dare you say these things?
And by what authority are you saying these things?
Speaking to Peter and John.
So, verse 8, Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel, if we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well?
Talking about healing the cripple.
Let it be known to you all and to all people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man stands here before you whole.
You know, pointing to the cripple, the former cripple who's now whole, right?
This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.
He's saying, you rejected the miracles of God.
You rejected Jesus.
You murdered him.
Verse 12, nor is there salvation in any other.
For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
He's saying, Peter is saying that God sent Jesus for your salvation.
You killed him.
That was your only option.
He didn't send you another Jesus, at least not here.
Now, maybe on planet octopi, there's a floating octopus version to save the floating octopus creatures.
But on earth, at least in the Middle East, God sent Jesus.
God appeared as Jesus.
It's like, hey, I'm Jesus.
I'm your teacher.
You know, I'm filled with love.
You know, how can I help you?
And the Jews were like, murder him!
Yeah, now you know why God destroys Israel?
I mean, think about what God just said.
We just read this.
It said that every soul who will not hear that prophet, which is Jesus, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
That's the promise.
God destroys Israel, which is what the sixth trumpet is all about, by the way.
And God destroys Israel for a just reason, which is that they murdered the Son of God who was sent here to help everybody.
Sent to earth to teach.
To teach love.
To teach, frankly, a multi-ethnic openness to religion and to the teachings of Christ and the miracles of the Lord.
To say that you don't have to be Jewish to be saved.
Anybody can be saved.
In fact, the Jews themselves need to be specifically saved because they are so wicked.
So, what did the Jews do in response to this?
What did they decide?
They censored the name of Jesus, which sounds exactly like what Jews do today in our world, which is to try to censor everybody who says anything that they don't like.
Did you know, for example, that in 21 European countries, it is a crime to question any narrative about the Holocaust of World War II? Did you know that?
Yeah, bizarre, right?
You would think that why would it be a crime?
Well, they throw people in jail for writing books that question the official narratives.
One of those official narratives is that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.
Right?
Now, there's no question that there was a Holocaust.
There's no question that a great many Jews were slaughtered by Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich and so on, and that a great many of those Jews were in Poland.
But did you know that that six million number continues to be revised downward?
Over the years, as academics study the records of the extermination chambers, the gas chambers, and so on, and they find that For some of the camps, like the original estimates might have been 1.5 million people were killed there.
And they realized that those were stories that were coordinated among so-called witnesses that could not be corroborated, that there was no evidence to support that.
And so there wasn't even enough, like physically it couldn't be done.
The logistics of killing that many people were not possible.
The amount of wood that you would have had to burn for the cremation ovens, because it takes a lot of energy to cremate a human body, by the way.
The wood was not available.
There were no records of the amount of massive logging and wood delivery to power the furnaces to burn that many bodies alive.
And many of the witnesses clearly made things up.
Like saying that there were flames coming out of the chimneys, which wouldn't have been the case because the ovens were heated by coke coal and the flames, you know, the flames don't go up the chimneys and out the top of the chimneys.
So a lot of the witnesses, so it became realized by academic researchers that many of the witnesses were not reliable and academics began revising downward the six million number.
So it turns out it wasn't six million Jews that were killed in the Holocaust.
It's something less than that.
I'm not saying that it's insignificant.
It's clearly still a Holocaust.
It's just that if you argue about the number, if you say, well, according to these historical records, it looks like it was 5.5 million, let's say, just as a thought experiment, or 5 million, or 5.9 million, then you go to jail.
You get arrested.
Why?
And that happens in 21 European countries.
Why?
Because the Jews censored anybody questioning their narratives.
These are the same Jews that ever since then have dominated Hollywood and movie making, putting out films and books about the Holocaust to burn this memory into the minds of human consciousness, while criminalizing and punishing and deplatforming anybody while criminalizing and punishing and deplatforming anybody who disagreed with it, or disagreed with any element of it, or just found evidence that showed different numbers.
Normally, in any kind of a debate about history, you would be able to hear different sides, different academics, different researchers would have different views, like when it comes to geology.
At one point, one guy had a theory of plate tectonics, and he was considered crazy.
Like, there's no way that there's giant continental plates that float around on the magma, right?
That was crazy 100 years ago, or even, I think, 75 years ago.
Was that guy's name Hapgood?
It seems to be that his name was Hapgood.
That's coming to my mind at the moment.
But then it turns out he was right.
But it took a long time and a lot of debates.
But imagine if he were completely censored.
Imagine if the geologists had total censorship control and said, no one's allowed to utter plate tectonics.
Well, that's the way the Jews are, even to this day.
You're not allowed to utter anything that they don't approve of.
So only their narrative gets told.
And if you're wondering where that came from, here it is.
It's in Acts chapter 4 now, where the name of Jesus was forbidden to be uttered.
That's right.
You couldn't even say the name Jesus.
So verse 13, now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled.
And they realized that they had been with Jesus and seeing the man who had been healed standing before them.
They could say nothing against it.
But when they commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves.
This is the Jewish leaders here saying, what shall we do to these men?
For indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them that from now on they speak to no man in this name.
So the Jews conspired to censor the name Jesus, to criminalize the name of Jesus.
So that no one would know about the miracles of Jesus and the miracles of the Lord.
See?
It's exactly what is being said here in Acts chapter 4.
So, verse 18.
See?
That's exactly what Jews do.
They say, we'll throw you in prison if you say something that we don't like.
We will tell you what you're allowed to say.
Nothing has changed in 2,000 years, has it?
But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.
Sharp tongue of Peter and John, right?
But you gotta love it.
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.
For the man was over 40 years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.
And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said, Lord, you are God who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them, who by the mouth of your servant David have said, Why did the nations rage and the people plot vain things?
The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.
See, even David saw this coming, that the Jews would become the Antichrist.
And that's exactly what happened.
And they banned the utterance of the name Jesus because they did not want the people to know about the miracles of the Lord.
This is what Jews do.
Verse 27,"...for truly against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed," Okay,
that with all boldness they may speak your word by stretching out your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant, Jesus.
Okay, so Peter and John are now praying to Jesus, try to convince these reluctant Jews that Jesus is real, that the Lord speaks through Jesus, okay?
Verse 31, And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul.
Neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
In other words, they didn't let the Jews stop them from worshiping Jesus.
Nor was there anyone among them who lacked for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold and laid them at the apostles' feet, and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
And Joseph, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles, which is translated son of encouragement, a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Okay, so that's the end of chapter 4 of Acts.
And what did we learn in chapter 4?
That the Jews are the Antichrist.
They tried to stop The word of Jesus from being uttered.
They tried to stop the truth of the miracles of God from being shared or from being known that they practiced censorship even back then, just as they do today.
The Jews murdered Christ or had him murdered because they wanted to stop him from teaching.
And they murdered Christ, even having been told by their own King David that a prophet would appear among them who would represent the word of the Lord and who would perform miracles and show them the proof that he was the Son of God.
And even then, the Jews were so struck by their own selfishness, arrogance, power, and greed, they murdered Christ and they imprisoned those who tried to spread the word of Christ.
And so I ask you today, if you are a Christian, listening to this, if you are a person of Christ, why would you support Zionism today?
Why would you support those who are the Antichrist in the modern nation of Israel, who are slaughtering human beings, who are destroying humanity, who are violating the teachings of God and the teachings of Christ,
So many evangelical Christians in America today have been deceived by the synagogues of Satan, which is the Zionist controllers that are using the followers of Christ as cannon fodder or as puppets to push their agenda of the mass slaughter of human beings, many of whom are, of course, the children of Abraham, even though they may worship in a different religion, a different tongue.
But as we saw in Acts, God speaks to all in their own tongues.
And God shows to different people different versions or speaks to them in different ways.
Islam is an Abrahamic religion.
All the children of Islam are children of the Lord.
They are all the children of the Lord.
And that is who Zionists are murdering today in a blasphemous opposition to the Lord today.
Pushing mass death and suffering and satanic agendas through the nation of Israel while controlling Christians to advocate for their genocide.
Let me put a warning to you.
If you support Israel in what it's doing today with genocide, crimes against humanity, mass bombing, killing of women and children, the shooting of children in the head, the shooting of doctors, the bombing of hospitals on purpose The mass deception, the lies, the censorship.
If you support what Israel is doing today, you are in league with Satan, and you will never sit at the right hand of God.
That is spiritual truth.
That is the truth that Peter spoke of.
That is the truth that John spoke of.
That is the truth that Christ spoke.
And that's why the Jews killed him, because they are the Antichrist.
And they forbade anyone to utter the name of Jesus.
Think about that.
So now you know why God destroys Israel in the end.
Now you know.
Because his own favored people turned against him and murdered his own son and became wicked, became liars and deceivers, and they were in league with Satan.
And ultimately, after giving them numerous chances spanning thousands of years, God has enough and he destroys Israel.
And this is what is written.
I mean, we covered some of it today.
And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that prophet, which is Jesus, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
Right there.
Verse 23.
Acts chapter 3.
And then Ezekiel 38 describes the destruction.
And Book of Revelation describes it.
And Joel, quoted by Peter, also promises exactly that.
And that's why Peter cited Joel.
On purpose, to remind them, God will destroy you if you are wicked people.
And even that wasn't enough.
And by the way, you know, this verse, and it shall be that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
You know who recognizes Jesus as a prophet?
Islam.
The followers of Islam.
Recognize Jesus as a prophet from the Lord.
The followers of Islam are actually obeying God's command here to honor Jesus and to honor the Virgin Mary.
The prophet Jesus described in the Quran is one of the most significant religious figures in the history of the Lord and his teachings and human civilization as described in Islam.
But The Jews murdered Christ.
God says, if you will not hear the prophet Jesus, you shall be destroyed.
That is saying that God will destroy the Jews, but not followers of Islam, because the followers of Islam are obedient to what God says here.
And the followers of Islam are the sons and daughters of Abraham, to whom the Lord promised the land in the Middle East.
Think about that.
So the Zionists in Israel today, they are impostors and they are Satanists who come from the people who murdered Christ and think that they are more powerful than God and think that they can murder God's children.
And that is why they will be judged by God and destroyed by God.
And that day is coming, and when that day does come, the angels in heaven rejoice, as mentioned in the book of Revelation.
Which we've already covered in other sermons.
So, I've given you chapter and verse.
These are chapters and verses that most Christian pastors will never teach you.
And the Christian Zionists hope you never find.
But they're in your Bible.
That's what's amazing.
This has been an amazing path of discovery for me.
To teach this and to find that the Bible says these powerful truths that Most churches hope you never find.
So they try to distract you.
They try to say, oh, no, just go here.
Just look at Mark.
Just look at 2 Corinthians.
Just look at this.
Don't look at what the Bible actually says about how evil the Jews are and how they murdered Christ.
And how they censored the utterance of his name and how they denied the presence of the Lord through his son.
Don't read that stuff.
Or they try to tell you that God and Christ are all about endless love and that you should love everybody.
You should love the perverts and you should love the groomers and you should love the transgender pushers and you should love the child mutilators.
It's all just endless love and love wins.
Nonsense.
God's fury is unleashed upon the wicked.
The wicked include the child mutilators, the child traffickers, the child sodomizers, and the people who murdered Christ.
The Jews.
Their judgment day is coming, but then again, judgment day is coming for all of humanity, for all of us, based on our deeds.
So, as I've said before, be a good person.
Don't promote censorship.
Don't advocate violence.
Be a good person, help those in need, and have the courage to tell the truth because God sends cowards to hell, as mentioned in Revelation chapter 21, I think, quite certain.
So there you go.
That's today's lesson.
And there are more yet to come.
So find more sermons at abundance.church if you dare.
If you want to learn the truth about what the Bible actually says, I will give you chapter and verse.
I will never tell you something and then say, just trust me, it's somewhere in there.
I will give you chapter and verse in nearly every sermon, or certainly where I quote Scripture, I give you chapter and verse.
So you can read it yourself.
And I encourage you to read it yourself.
I encourage you to fact check what I've read for you today.
Because some people have heard my sermons and they, because they've been so brainwashed by their churches, they would say, that can't possibly be in the Bible.
You must be making that up.
And I encourage them.
Go ahead.
Here's the chapter.
Here's the verse.
Read it yourself.
And then they read it and like, oh, I guess it is in the Bible.
Yeah, it's in the Bible that you've been holding on to.
You know, it's in the Bible you've had in your possession for decades or however long you've had a Bible.
You just didn't read it.
You trusted others to read it for you.
Turns out a lot of those others are not operating in good faith.
They distracted you from reading the parts that matter.
I encourage you to read all of it.
And I will remind you about the parts that are hidden, that are mostly unread.
Don't you want to know about the hidden parts of the Bible?
But they're not really hidden.
They're right there in plain view.
Don't you want to know about that part?
Yeah, you should.
You should read all of it.
And, as I've said, we should read more than just the Bible.
We should understand other world religions as well, especially the Koran, as that came after the New Testament.
We should understand the Koran.
That's why I've started reading some of it I'm a beginner.
I don't know hardly any of it, and I can't pronounce seemingly any of the names and things, but I have, as a matter of goodwill, an effort to attempt to understand the similarities between the Koran and the teachings of Christ, who Islam recognizes as a prophet of the Lord and whom Peter and John said must be recognized as a prophet of the Lord.
So In essence, Peter and John are begging us to also read the Koran because it is in alignment with what is demanded of us about recognizing Jesus as a prophet.
So, you know, the more we read, the more we learn.
And anybody who says you're not allowed to read that, you're not allowed to say that, you're not allowed to quote that verse, well, those are evil people, and that's what the Jews said.
You're not allowed to utter the name Jesus.
That's what an evil group would say.
And they're the ones pushing censorship to this day.
So there you go.
Check out more of my sermons at abundance.church and never be afraid to speak the truth.
Never be afraid to invoke the name of Jesus Christ.
Never be afraid to push back hard against censorship.
But in doing all these things, be someone who helps others.
Be someone who operates in good faith.
Do not deceive.
Do not advocate violence.
Do not steal.
Do not lie.
But you're going to find yourself living in a world surrounded by people who do all those things.
Don't get swept up into that.
Be a good person, and you shall be saved.
I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Who will judge us all.
So thank you for listening.
God bless you all.
I'm Mike Adams.
