	Alright, welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Monday, December 9th, 2024. I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And of course, the big news over the weekend was the fall of Syria.
	Now, this is a critical event.
	It's really important to understand what just happened.
	And of course, we have to start with geography in order to truly understand it.
	But the short version of this news is that Syria has been conquered without a fight.
	The Syrian government, the Syrian military, they all stood down.
	Assad fled the country.
	Reportedly, he's in Moscow right now.
	Syria, they just stood down, they turned over the whole country to Western-backed, basically the progeny of ISIS, Western-backed, Mossad-funded, CIA-funded Western proxy terror groups that have now taken over Syria, and they will, of course, slaughter Christians.
	The few hundred thousand Christians that are remaining in Syria will now be slaughtered as Senator Lindsey Graham cheers.
	And as the neocons cheer, and of course Israel will cheer because Israel is already moving its tanks into Syria in order to control the region and expand itself into greater Israel.
	That has already begun over the weekend.
	Now, in order to understand what's actually happening, we need to understand the geography.
	So we're going to take a big picture look first and then we'll zoom in to what's going on in Syria.
	But take a look at this map.
	This is the first map I'm showing you today.
	There you see in the sort of, well, right in the center of this map, you see Iraq.
	And then notice to the northwest of Iraq is Syria.
	Notice where the waterways are on this map to the west of Syria, the Mediterranean Sea.
	to the west of Saudi Arabia, the Red Sea, which leads to the Suez Canal that connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
	A very critical pathway for energy exports from the Persian Gulf to Europe.
	The Persian Gulf being on the more of the eastern side of Saudi Arabia and the southern side of Iran, which leads to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
	Now, Syria, which is in yellow here, notice where Syria is situated.
	It is a critical piece of real estate because on the western edge of Syria, the northwest, it is on the Mediterranean Sea, so it has seaports there.
	A couple of those ports are used by Russia.
	To the southwest of Syria is Lebanon, the entire nation of Lebanon right there that Israel wants to conquer, of course.
	To the south of Lebanon is Israel, and there you can see the west bank there, kind of an offshoot of Jordan.
	And then you can't even see really Gaza in this map.
	It's so small, but it's on the southwest corner of Israel.
	It is labeled Gaza Strip, but it's very tiny.
	Now, we're going to zoom in, but take a good look at this.
	Understand Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Iran to Even more to the east, and look how large Iran is, a very large country, and understand that Syria, well, the Western Empire has been wanting to topple Syria for a very long time, decades.
	Turkey is a NATO member.
	But Turkey, run by Erdogan, had been signaling that it was going to be interested in joining BRICS in order to trade with Russia and Iran, because they share a border there.
	As you can see, Turkey and Iran share a border.
	But with this invasion of Syria that just happened, this takeover of Syria, Turkey's Erdogan betrayed Syria, betrayed So, Turkey's Erdogan just became a huge ally of Netanyahu and a big traitor to the so-called axis of resistance.
	But, just reminding you of this...
	This geography.
	For Iran to get weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon, those weapons have to go through typically northern Iraq and then Syria, typically northern Syria, and then all the way into Beirut or, you know, southern Lebanon.
	So Syria is critical for Iran to be able to get weapons to Lebanon, to Hezbollah.
	And before the war of the last year, to also get some measure of supplies to Gaza, to Hamas.
	And Hezbollah and Hamas have been, of course, allies of Iran.
	Now, recall that Iraq...
	Is mostly occupied by the West.
	Since the Desert Storm War and the follow-up wars in the region, the U.S. earns all the money from Iraq's oil fields.
	So every dollar produced from the oil fields in Iraq goes to a bank account in New York.
	That's true.
	And then Kuwait, of course, is controlled by the West.
	Jordan is largely controlled by the West.
	And Turkey, of course, has just confirmed that it's going to be run by the West.
	And Saudi Arabia is also largely, it has been friendly to the West for most of this time.
	The Saudis are, of course, mortal enemies with the Iranians.
	And Iran being allies with Russia, Iran now represents the Sort of the last bastion of defense against the expansion of Israel in its Greater Israel Project, which wants to take over about a third of Saudi Arabia.
	It wants to overrun Jordan, overrun Lebanon, take all of Syria, take part of Turkey, part of Iraq, part of Egypt.
	That's the Greater Israel Project.
	And anybody cheering the fall of Assad is actually sort of cheering for Greater Israel because that's exactly what has happened.
	Now, Turkey earns a lot of money and specifically Erdogan and his family members earn a ton of money from pipelines that bring energy from countries like Azerbaijan into Israel.
	So Turkey earns billions of dollars a year on pipelines to Israel.
	It kind of shows you where its financial incentives are, right?
	But in order to understand this map, keep in mind that the world runs on energy, oil and natural gas.
	And you can't understand the Middle East unless you understand energy.
	And as much as Western nations claim to be all green, we're going to be green and we're going to be climate friendly.
	In reality, they all need oil and energy and gas and they need it to be cheap because that's what powers economies.
	That's what grows food ultimately, you know, because of the mechanization of farming.
	That's what raises GDP.
	That's what powers the military, transportation, economies, etc.
	So they all need energy. .
	And the big picture here is that the West is trying to gain more control over more energy.
	That's what this is all about.
	Kind of obviously.
	And the CIA funds and runs various groups like ISIS or offshoots of ISIS. The names keep changing, but it's all the same people.
	It's basically some for-hire jihadists who are willing to do whatever they're paid to do.
	And they're paid handsomely by the CIA or by Mossad or by MI6. And so this is how the West continues to cause chaos and expand its footprint in the Middle East.
	I mean, billions of dollars a year are paid to Egypt to keep the Suez Canal under the control of the West, by the way, right?
	So this is what you're looking at, is Western imperialism trying to maintain control over energy.
	That's what this is.
	And Syria is right in the middle of it.
	Now let me show you a second map here.
	This map shows the proposed pipelines for gas.
	Remember that Nord Stream was a gas pipeline from Gazprom in Russia across the Baltic Sea into Germany which fed into many other countries in Western Europe.
	Nord Stream was blown up by the United States.
	Now There are two proposed pipelines that you're looking at right now.
	The blue one is proposed by the United States and it would push gas from Qatar through Saudi Arabia.
	Through Jordan, which is friendly, and through Syria, which has not been friendly to the West, and then into Turkey and the rest of Europe.
	So this could be a replacement for the gas that used to come from Russia, but in this case the gas would come from Western friendly countries like the Saudis and Qatar.
	There's a red pipeline, as you can see here, that's proposed from Iran, Also through Syria, but going through Iraq and Syria and then through the Mediterranean Sea, under the sea kind of like we saw with Nord Stream in the Baltic Sea.
	That pipeline would enrich Russia.
	So, in other words, whoever controls Syria controls the pipeline access to Europe.
	From these Middle Eastern energy sources.
	So when you understand that, you understand why the U.S., even under former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, many years ago, wanted to topple Syria, and why in years past, even all the way up to, I think, 2017, they would run these white hat, false flag news stories that, oh, Assad used chemical weapons on his population.
	It was all made up, completely fabricated.
	But that's what they do in order to justify their wars on the region.
	So, now I need to show you a third map to help you understand this even better.
	And this third map, here it is, this map shows you the military control across Syria.
	And what you're looking at, everything that's in color here is part of Syria, but the different colors show the different types or different factions of military control.
	So now we're looking at this military map or map of military control across Syria.
	Now, You're going to get real familiar, I think, all of us will, with the shape of the nation of Syria.
	Here it is.
	It's kind of a wedge shape.
	Lebanon is kind of cut out of it, let's say, on the southwest side.
	And what's great about this particular map is the different colors.
	Show you the influences in Syria, the different factions.
	So importantly, notice that Aleppo is up on the northwest corner.
	Latakia and Tartuos are the ports on the west coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
	And notice that Damascus is down in the southern part of the country, and that's the capital, of course.
	And that puts it very close to Lebanon and to Israel.
	And that's one of the reasons Damascus was so easy to overrun, although the green areas here show the opposition forces.
	Now this map is from the end of 2022, right?
	So it's two years old, but not a lot has actually changed in terms of the regions.
	So the green areas are where the opposition forces have been kept.
	Now, the yellow areas, and by the way, I'm not an expert on Syria.
	I'm just giving you my best understanding.
	Other experts can go into a lot more detail.
	But my understanding is that the yellow areas on the kind of the north and northeast parts of the country, those are the areas that are more friendly to Iran.
	And so Iran's weapons that need to get to Lebanon, let's say, for Hezbollah, they tend to go through Iraq and through this yellow area and then through some of the brown areas, which is the Syrian regime-held areas that's held by the Syrian government, and then into Lebanon.
	So now that Syria has fallen to Western-controlled proxy forces, in essence...
	This map, the green areas, would now have overtaken much of the brown areas, which means that Iran is blocked from being able to reach Lebanon or even the Golan Heights or, you know, Gaza or anything like that.
	Now, notice that the green areas on the north of Syria are also right next to Turkey.
	Or Turquia, as it's more technically pronounced.
	But most people just say Turkey in the West, so I'll say Turkey.
	But Turkey has been part of the overthrow of Syria today.
	So that's Erdogan, and he mounted a lot of forces there with the help of Israel and the help of the United States-backed jihadi forces.
	They were able to go in and overthrow the entire country.
	Or at least all the main cities, including the capital city.
	So that map explains a lot.
	Now, the U.S. military is bombing targets inside Syria and Israel continues to bomb even after the resignation of Assad.
	So you might wonder, well, what is Israel bombing exactly?
	And it turns out that Israel is bombing infrastructure.
	I don't mean water and power, but more like logistics, military, coordination, government buildings, I mean, even former government buildings.
	In essence, Israel is bombing Syria into rubble, which is, that's what they did in Gaza, and that's what they've done in parts of southern Lebanon.
	And at the same time, The United States is bombing targets there as well.
	Now, Joe Biden has put out a video.
	I don't know if I'm going to play any of it.
	It's just too pathetic.
	He can barely speak.
	He can seriously barely speak.
	But he is saying that now the U.S. is going to fund the rebel forces.
	The jihadists, the proxy forces that have overthrown Assad.
	And so what this means is that the U.S. is going to start pouring money and weapons into Syria, and it's going to turn Syria into another Israel.
	I mean, obviously not Zionist and not Jewish and so on, but another kind of stronghold.
	In other words, the U.S. and the West has just conquered Syria.
	A really key piece of the Middle East puzzle affecting the security of Israel.
	I mean, this is great news for Israel that Syria has fallen.
	This affects and interdicts the weapons shipments from Iran to Lebanon.
	This effectively surrounds Lebanon, which makes Lebanon...
	I mean, if you're living in Lebanon right now, you are freaking nervous because you're now surrounded by...
	Enemy Western forces that want you gone because that's what Israel wants.
	So this is actually, I mean, Israel can now just, and Israel's already starting to invade what was Syria.
	That's already begun.
	Netanyahu already mentioned that.
	Israel can just drive around to the eastern side of Lebanon and invade from the north, invade Beirut from the north even, or invade Syria.
	Lebanon from the east.
	Like Israel no longer has to fight from the south.
	To the north.
	They can just drive around through Syria, which is now relatively, I mean, it's becoming friendly territory, or at least neutral territory.
	Nobody's going to stop Israeli tanks and military vehicles.
	They can just drive around and invade Lebanon from wherever they want.
	So Lebanon is in real trouble because of this.
	And according to Colonel Douglas McGregor, There are now 900 plus U.S. troops that are stationed in Syria right now, at this very moment.
	What's going to happen to those 900 troops?
	Not everybody knows.
	That's a very big question.
	All right, I want to show you another map here that I think is really relevant here, and this is the map of Greater Israel.
	Actually, this is the map of Israel's expansion plan into Syria.
	So Israel's on the left side of this map, and you can see in blue is the Golan Heights, and that's where Israel's invading right now.
	And then phase one, they plan to expand more eastward into Syria.
	And eventually to have this safe zone goal, which means that Israel would be taking and occupying a very large chunk of Syria.
	This is all part of the Greater Israel Plan.
	Notice that Damascus is to the north of this expansion area, but of course Israel has a never-ending appetite for expansion.
	And ultimately, the greater Israel plan would have Israel taking a big chunk of Jordan and Egypt and even some of Turkey.
	Don't tell the Turks.
	Don't tell Erdogan that Israel's actually going to take part of Turkey.
	Because, you know, oh, he doesn't want to know that.
	So what we're really looking at here is if you consider this to be a giant game of risk, the board game of risk, which I played in my youth and you know a lot of us did in the board games heyday.
	We played risk and you're always trying to like conquer the countries and expand your territory and get more resources.
	Well this is what the West is doing with Syria.
	They've toppled Assad through sanctions.
	They crippled the country.
	They were able to then bribe everybody to back down and walk away.
	And now, Syria has fallen.
	This is extremely bad news for Russia, bad news for Iran.
	Lindsey Graham is so elated, he almost had to put on an extra pair of adult diapers.
	That's how excited Lindsey Graham got.
	He was jumping up and down.
	And All the neocons are super thrilled and they think that this is just the greatest thing ever.
	And this is also, of course, a kind of stepping stone toward Iran.
	Toward Iran.
	So Lindsey Graham and other neocons in the U.S. government and in the Senate, they want America to somehow defeat Iran.
	That is not possible, but it's something that they want to happen.
	Clearly, Syria fell very quickly without any real military effort.
	This was economic.
	This was an economic war against Syria and an economic takeover.
	And now that that has happened, it's very unlikely that Western forces will ever give up Syria.
	So Syria is now going to be in the pocket of Israel and the U.S. and the U.K., And it's going to be run by their proxy jihadist forces.
	And you'll be told in the corporate media that these are all great jihadis.
	You're going to be told that they're pro-LGBT, they have transgender jihadis.
	I mean, they already rolled that out on CNN, that they're all gay jihadis.
	It's nonsense, of course, but they're going to try to make them all friendly to the West.
	They believe in climate change and men and women's restrooms and transgenderism.
	They're really progressive jihadis.
	You're friendly neighborhood jihadis.
	That's what you're going to be told by Western corporate media.
	But the upshot of this is that, in my assessment, this is going to accelerate the global abandonment of the dollar.
	This is a major blow against, like I said, Russia, Iran, and even China is not happy about this.
	So it's a blow against the BRICS nations, but it will also further motivate and accelerate BRICS nations because they will realize that the West is still very dangerous and is conquering territory and overthrowing regimes right now.
	So I have a special report for you on that called Here's Why the Fall of Syria Will Accelerate Global Abandonment of the Dollar.
	So check out that report and we'll be back on the other side.
	So this conquering of Syria by Western-backed proxy forces...
	This is a real escalation in terms of the global scene, and it shows a model that's working very well for the West, a model that the BRICS currency is going to shatter.
	Now, this is a hit against BRICS, by the way, the fact that Syria has gone down, but It reveals exactly why, to the other nations of the world paying attention, why they would be motivated to move away from the dollar hegemonic system and to embrace something like BRICS. And here's the story.
	Syria was made vulnerable through economic sanctions.
	So through Western sanctions and blocking off Syria and Assad's interests and so on from the Western banking system, over the years, Syria was thrust into extreme poverty.
	Their industry was stifled.
	And remember that one of the key strategies of the United States, the U.S. empire, is to weaken everybody else in order to make the U.S. relatively stronger.
	This is why the U.S., Destroy the Nord Stream pipeline to weaken Western Europe.
	This is why the U.S. issued sanctions against exports of lithographic microchip manufacturing equipment to China in order to block China's microchip industry.
	This is also why the West, of course, froze $300 billion in currency held by Russia in Western banks, European banks mostly.
	That freezing of those assets, which is a form of theft, was designed to weaken Russia.
	Although it failed, it does work for other countries.
	And so Syria was put under economic sanctions Increasing year after year for many, many years.
	I mean, this goes back more than 15 years in various forms.
	The Bush administration was looking at this back in 2001. And Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in her day, in the early 2000s, was also trying to topple Syria and topple Libya, which was accomplished, and topple Iraq, and then ultimately Iran and other countries as well.
	So the game plan of the West is subject a nation to sanctions, drive the nation into poverty.
	Once extreme poverty is in place, then you can buy off the top officials, the top military officials, and even the president himself, in this case, Assad, who may have been bought off, but certainly his military leaders were bought off.
	And they were bought off to simply retreat.
	And that's why Syria was toppled without a fight.
	Everybody was paid to retreat.
	And when you're only earning $50 a month, which is what some of these officials earned, or even $40 a month, if somebody comes to you and says, here, I'll give you $10,000, that's a huge deal.
	I mean, how many months is that?
	That's a whole career's worth of income, in essence.
	So it's very easy to buy them off.
	And since the U.S. can just print money as long as other countries are still buying dollar debt, which, you know, fewer and fewer countries are doing that, but at the moment the dollar still exists, it still has value.
	So the U.S. empire can print dollars and use them to buy off people in weakened nations that have been targeted with decades of economic sanctions.
	And that's what the U.S. hoped to do with Russia.
	And that's what they hoped to do with, who was that military leader guy?
	Forgot his name.
	Progozin, I think was his name.
	But he's dead now.
	They gave him billions of dollars to try to run a coup against Putin.
	Remember that?
	That was last year, I think.
	That didn't work.
	But, you know, the West does this everywhere.
	They've got billions of dollars to throw around.
	They've got hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin to throw around.
	And Bitcoin has become one of the currencies of just international bribery and kickbacks and fraud.
	So they use it that way.
	But they could also use dollars.
	I'm not singling out Bitcoin.
	Bitcoin is just a lot more convenient because you can transfer it digitally, right?
	But the upshot of this is that this will strongly encourage other nations to embrace BRICS as quickly as possible.
	Because as long as those nations are subject to Western dollar sanctions, then they could also be victimized by the West in exactly the same way that Syria was just toppled.
	You know, sanctions and then weakening of the economy and lowering of quality of life, lowering of In comes the destruction of domestic businesses and economic productivity.
	Then one day, mass bribery of stand-down orders.
	And then the country is easily overrun.
	And that's exactly what just happened.
	So all these other nations watching this...
	Oh, I forgot to mention, Turkey also betrayed Turkey.
	Syria, big time.
	Turkey betrayed, in essence, Iran and Russia and other nations that Turkey was hoping to be trading with.
	I have a feeling that Turkey is not going to be invited into BRICS any longer after this particular maneuver.
	But I suppose we'll have to wait and see what that looks like.
	But my guess is that Turkey is going to be disinvited because this is a major betrayal of the so-called axis of resistance interests.
	But Turkey just handed a major gift to Israel, and Erdogan showed his cards as being a traitor to the Palestinians and a sellout, someone who's willing to do anything to support Israel.
	You know, so all this tough talk against Israel's bombing of civilians by Erdogan, as we thought, it was nothing but blowing hot air.
	And Turkey, which is a 96% Muslim country, Under Erdogan, Turkey has decided to ally itself with the West, which means Turkey is going to continue to use the dollar.
	It is a member of NATO. And in using the dollar, Turkey is going to be subjected to dollar sanctions if it ever does anything that the West doesn't like.
	So Turkey is allowing itself to be captured by Western interests.
	Whereas countries like Russia are specifically deciding to separate themselves from Western interests and instead develop their own settlement system, which is the BRICS currency.
	Or in the meantime, countries like Russia, India, and China are settling trade just using their own domestic currencies.
	And then if there are any trade differences, they can make up those gaps with gold.
	And that's happening right now.
	Many countries, especially Russia and China and Iran, have completely abandoned the dollar, and they're trading in other currencies, and they're doing quite well with that.
	So this fall of Syria will be an accelerating force to motivate countries to move away from the dollar, but it will also be a compliance threat against those countries That maybe we're thinking about using bricks, but they're still tied to the West.
	Well, this will remind them to get back in line and obey the U.S. Empire, or we could do to you what we just did to Syria, right?
	We could do to you what we did to Libya.
	We could do to you what we did to Afghanistan, etc.
	We could do to you what we did to Iraq.
	So that's the big picture perspective, in my view, of what this means.
	This is the West being the West, colonizing, using violence.
	You know, all this talk about Russia is bad because it was altering borders, using force.
	Like, that's laughable now, with Western-backed proxy forces just completely overrunning the entire country of Syria, including its capital city.
	You know, come on, the hypocrisy is just off the charts.
	So stay informed.
	This is a very destabilizing event.
	It will have major ramifications for months and years to come.
	It will probably lead to escalatory, retaliatory attacks.
	We don't yet know exactly what that's going to look like, but I don't think it's going to be good.
	Stay tuned.
	I'm Mike Adams, Brighteon.com and NaturalNews.com.
	Check all of my interviews and videos on Brighteon.
	And also check out our platforms, Brighteon.io, Brighteon.social, and our new upcoming AI engine to be released in 2025 at Brighteon.ai.
	Thanks for listening.
	Alright, welcome back.
	I forgot to tell you earlier, there was an interesting tweet from Nick Sorter.
	He said that rhino war hawk Lindsey Graham signals he wants the U.S. to stage a ground incursion into Syria, saying that airstrikes are not enough.
	Right?
	So Lindsey Graham wants U.S. troops...
	To fight on the ground in Syria.
	Well, no doubt that's to get a foothold so they can attack later on Iran, you know, across northern Iraq, of course.
	Also, let's see, Matt Bracken tweeted out that this is game over for the Russian bases in Latakia and Tartus.
	Those are the ports on the western side, you know, on the Mediterranean Sea side of Syria.
	And that's true.
	The Russian bases there are in real trouble and they are effectively surrounded and it's not clear what Russia is going to do about it, if anything.
	Iran hasn't done anything.
	I don't know what Russia's going to do.
	And another user named Sovereign Bra said, Exactly
	what is going on.
	All right, now, in related news that's just as bizarre, I told you, you know, things are accelerating so rapidly right now, this is going to be a very crazy time for all of us.
	But MicroStrategy's founder, Michael Saylor, who is a Bitcoin...
	Bitcoin zealot, I think, is the only way...
	Like, he's...
	What Hezbollah is to, like, radical Islam, Michael Saylor is to finance.
	He's like the crypto-jihadist, basically, of the world of finance.
	He's more like the Hamas.
	Like, Michael Saylor, crypto-Hamas, you know what I mean?
	He's a fierce fighter.
	But he's a full-blown crypto zealot.
	Anyway, he says, quote, dump your gold.
	He's talking to the U.S. government.
	He says to the government, this was in a news interview, dump your gold, sell all the U.S. gold, and buy Bitcoin.
	Then the trade is free, he says.
	What?
	What does that mean, the trade is free?
	He's saying the government should sell all its gold and use that money to buy nothing but Bitcoin so that it has no gold and just Bitcoin.
	And then he says, quote, you will demonetize the entire gold asset class, he means globally, and our enemies hold gold in their banks.
	So their assets will go to zero, our assets will go to $100 trillion.
	Now, Michael Saylor is an economic moron.
	Obviously, Catherine Austin Fitz also agrees with me on this point.
	So does Peter Schiff, of course, but Peter Schiff is no fan of Bitcoin.
	But, see, Michael Saylor thinks that gold is backed by nothing, just like Bitcoin is backed by nothing.
	So he thinks that if you sell off all the gold, it will go to zero.
	He's projecting, because that's what would happen to Bitcoin.
	Bitcoin.
	If you sell off all the Bitcoin or even just even a little bit of it, it goes to zero or close to zero.
	But if you start selling off gold, it never goes to zero.
	You know why?
	Because gold is real and it has real intrinsic value, real value in industry, real value in dentistry, in beauty, in jewelry.
	It's recognized in every culture worldwide.
	It has been around for thousands of years, you know, mentioned in the Bible, hundreds of times in the Bible.
	And it's part of the culture of places like Thailand and many Asian cultures, many South American cultures and Middle Eastern cultures and so on are really heavy into gold.
	Gold is an element.
	You can't make gold go to zero by selling it off.
	So Michael Saylor doesn't seem to recognize that.
	He thinks you're going to, quote, demonetize the entire gold asset class.
	And that the enemies who hold gold, their assets will go to zero.
	No.
	What would actually happen is if the U.S. sold all its gold, countries like China and Iran and Russia would just buy it all and they would have all the gold.
	While the U.S. is sitting on Bitcoin, which could become obsolete next year.
	Maybe replaced by a better crypto.
	Well, gold can't be replaced by anything else.
	Gold is gold.
	There's no alternative that's just like gold.
	I mean, there's silver, but it's different.
	Different properties, obviously, different element on the table of elements.
	But Michael Saylor thinks that if the government sells all its gold and buys Bitcoin, that this would be a brutal attack against the enemies of America.
	Actually, it would be a financial suicide move for America to end up with no gold, holding nothing but dollars, debt, and Bitcoin, which is a digital asset of unknown long-term value.
	That's financial suicide.
	The reason countries buy gold is because gold is the asset of last resort.
	And it's universal.
	Every bank in the world, or central bank, every government in the world, every informed person in the world, every investor, every billionaire, they all recognize the value of gold.
	Not all of them recognize Bitcoin.
	Some do, some don't.
	Bitcoin has only been around since 2009. Gold has been around since the beginning of Well, I can't say quite the universe because it started with hydrogen and helium, but as soon as stars started exploding, it formed gold, you know, through fusion.
	Gold's a heavier element, obviously, than hydrogen.
	Basic science.
	So...
	That's why hydrogen is a gas in our experience and gold is a very heavy metal.
	So anyway, gold has been around for billions of years.
	If you believe all the science explanations of whatever, the history of the universe and the Big Bang and exploding stars, whatever, the gold's been around for billions of years.
	Bitcoin's been around since 2009. So Tread carefully.
	I have a special report on this very topic.
	And by the way, I'm not anti-Bitcoin.
	I'm not.
	I mean, I'm pro-decentralization.
	But Bitcoin is not that decentralized anymore.
	It's almost entirely owned by a bunch of whales or a small group of whales, one of which is BlackRock.
	Another is the U.S. government.
	Another is Michael Saylor's company and a few others.
	So it's not really decentralized.
	But check out this special report called Bitcoin Pump Artists Are Back in Action.
	Yeah, here comes the pump.
	Check it out.
	Well, unfortunately, Bitcoin has moved into the Kool-Aid phase again.
	Again, yes.
	Now that it's crossed $100,000 a coin, and that's largely because of Trump's support for crypto and discussions of the possibility of the U.S. government buying Bitcoin for a Bitcoin reserve, which is a truly bizarre idea because there's, you know, if you ask the question, well, what's backing the government?
	Well, Bitcoin.
	What's backing Bitcoin?
	Nothing.
	The government.
	You know, it's like, okay, how does this achieve the original ethos of decentralization?
	It does not.
	There should not be government pumping into Bitcoin.
	That's actually a very bad sign, at least for the Bitcoin purists out there, the crypto purists.
	But then Michael Saylor comes along now and he says that the U.S. government, you know, he's the CEO of MicroStrategies, which is running a really potentially catastrophic Ponzi scheme.
	By raising money with stock share sales and then using that money to buy Bitcoin.
	And then as Bitcoin goes up, the value of their stock goes up because the only thing that that company does is they buy Bitcoin.
	The company doesn't produce anything.
	It just buys Bitcoin.
	That's all it does.
	And you can see that selling stock shares or raising money to buy Bitcoin That is not a long-term viable strategy of a business.
	Just buying and holding Bitcoin, that's not a business.
	That's a speculation play.
	But Michael Saylor over the weekend went out and said, I forgot which news program it was on, maybe it was CNBC or somebody like that, said that the U.S. government should sell all its gold holdings to crash the global gold markets and use that money to buy Bitcoin.
	Now, this is a guy who himself holds tens of thousands of Bitcoin and his company holds hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin.
	So, of course, it's a self-serving kind of statement.
	It's like, hey, let's have the government pump up my own Bitcoin values.
	That's obvious.
	But there's something crazier about it, which is the idea of the government getting rid of all its gold and instead just holding Bitcoin.
	And the very reason that governments or central banks hold gold is because it is the asset of last resort.
	That when currencies fail throughout history, gold is always there because gold is an element.
	It's on the table of elements.
	Gold has outlasted the rise and fall of hundreds of nations and currencies.
	Gold has been around for thousands of years.
	Gold is mentioned over 400 times in the Bible.
	Bitcoin's not mentioned in the Bible.
	Bitcoin's only been around since, what, 2009, I think?
	Something like that.
	It's an interesting concept and there's a lot that's really awesome about decentralized cryptocurrency.
	But Bitcoin is not decentralized anymore.
	Most of it's owned by just a few whales and hedge funds like BlackRock and governments at this point and a few wealthy people or like the Winklevoss twins and so on.
	I mean, most Bitcoin is now centralized.
	It's not decentralized and The original promise of Bitcoin was that you could use it for everyday transactions.
	That's long been abandoned by even the Bitcoin community.
	They don't even say that that's what it's good for anymore because it's not.
	It's too expensive, too slow.
	So they say, well, it's digital gold, so you should just buy Bitcoin and hold it because it's going to hold value.
	Well, okay, that argument sounds great as long as Bitcoin keeps going up.
	But what happens if it starts going down?
	And I can think of a lot of examples of technology where the first mover had the best first tech and then it was rapidly, rapidly replaced by new technology.
	For example, Betamax versus VHS. And if you don't know what VHS is, you know, you're a lot younger than I am.
	But Betamax versus VHS tapes, that's how you would view movies back in the 1970s and 80s.
	You'd put a VHS tape in a video player, and, you know, the video was recorded on the tape, and it would play it, and you could fast-forward and rewind, which meant physically fast-forwarding the tape.
	And then when you finished watching the movie, you'd have to rewind it all the way back to the beginning, which took a while, and then you'd take it back to the place where you rented it, which used to be Blockbuster.
	And Betamax was a much better technology, but it didn't win.
	Instead, it became VHS. LaserDisc technology existed in the 1980s.
	It was vastly superior.
	Because it was digitally encoded optically on a disc, and Laserdisc players, they would never lose fidelity.
	I mean, they were really amazing.
	Think of it as sort of DVDs from movies back in the 1980s.
	That vanished.
	Eight-track tapes versus cassette tapes.
	Eight-track tapes were awesome because all the songs on an album, well, at least eight songs, were all encoded in a loop on the tape.
	And you can switch from one song to another instantly, whereas in a cassette tape, you have to seek forward to the song you want.
	And those of us who grew up in the 1970s and 80s, we were really good at pressing fast forward for just the right amount of time to get to the next song.
	Of course, all of that's obsolete now because of digital music or digital movies, WAV files, AVI files, MP3 files, etc.
	But you can also look at relatively modern technology like Blackberry phones.
	Blackberry phones were all the rage.
	And the company that made the Blackberries, which had little keyboards on them, by the way, and everybody was getting all their email on the Blackberries.
	The company that made the Blackberry phone, I think it was called Blackberry, and where is it today?
	It's gone.
	It's gone.
	I mean, essentially gone.
	Lost almost all of its value because everybody just decided to move over to the iPhone.
	So the iPhone wasn't first.
	The iPhone just came along and was better.
	Bitcoin was first, but Bitcoin's not better.
	There are technically far better forms of crypto today, like Furo and Xano, and I don't hold either one of those at the moment, although someday I might.
	Who knows?
	I do hold some Bitcoin, by the way, but...
	That's just because I don't want to buy it.
	I don't want to sell.
	I'm just sitting on it.
	I'm a hodler on what little Bitcoin I actually have.
	But it's not the best coin out there.
	Monero is better for privacy, obviously.
	I mentioned Xano.
	Firo is better because it has vastly improved privacy over Monero.
	But FIRO is not well known, and that's F-I-R-O, by the way.
	I interviewed Ruben, who's one of the head people involved in the project.
	And on our show, Decentralized TV, my co-host and I, Todd Pitner, we also interviewed one of the top guys involved in Zano.
	And I forgot his name at the moment.
	I think it's kind of like a Russian-sounding name.
	I apologize, I forgot his name, but he's quite famous in the crypto space, and he explained what Xano is.
	I still don't fully grasp everything about Xano, Z-A-N-O, but I'm told by people who know that it's a candidate for some really, really strong future applications.
	All of these coins are better than Bitcoin.
	So, this idea that, you know, Bitcoin's gonna go to the moon, like Max Keiser, who's been a long-time Bitcoin advocate, and he's pretty arrogant about it.
	He's got a personality.
	He's a fun guy, but he's also, like, having Bitcoin go up so much has made him very pompous.
	Like a lot of Bitcoin maxis, they think they're right all the time, and that Nothing bad can ever happen to Bitcoin.
	Well, Max Keiser says Bitcoin is going to go to $2.2 million per coin now, which is absurd.
	You know, it's insane, unless you assume the dollar is collapsing, in which case, you know, gold might go to essentially infinity if the dollar goes to zero, right?
	So if the dollar is collapsing, any asset described in dollars can go to the moon, obviously.
	But Bitcoin at $2.2 million per coin, If the dollar is roughly the same value as of today, that's absurd.
	And the only way to get there is if the government pumps it up, which it may.
	Could the government pump up Bitcoin to a million dollars a coin?
	Yeah, sure it could.
	But then what happens when the government collapses?
	Then everybody panic sells out of Bitcoin.
	Or something else comes along.
	Maybe a BRICS currency is announced.
	And the BRICS currency is made available to the people somehow.
	And then because of that, everybody wants to get into BRICS. And all of a sudden, Bitcoin is yesterday's news.
	And everybody's panicked selling Bitcoin.
	You know how quickly that price can fall?
	It can fall in seconds or minutes.
	Because there's not a lot of backstop behind Bitcoin.
	Bitcoin's valuation is entirely derived from the perception of value from the people who are buying and selling the coin.
	There's obviously nothing backing it up.
	There's not gold, there's not silver, there's not a business, there's not a revenue model, there's no income.
	It's valued for its properties, which are useful, such as divisibility and relatively rapid mobility.
	You can send Bitcoin anywhere in the world within minutes, and the blockchain has its own properties.
	And if you're smart and wise about it, you can protect your privacy to some degree, although Bitcoin is more of a public, opaque blockchain.
	The perception of the value of those properties can change very rapidly.
	So Bitcoin could be valued today as it is $100,000 a coin.
	And back in 2009, 2010, it was a penny a coin.
	Well, could it be a million dollars a coin?
	Well, with a government pump, it could.
	But could it also go back to a dollar a coin?
	Yeah, if everybody panics out of Bitcoin and says, hey, we found the next big thing and everybody jump into the next big thing.
	Let me tell you this.
	This idea of FOMO, of just chasing the next bubble for the sake of speculative profits, this never ends well.
	This is just digital tulip bulb mania at this point.
	And I'm not discounting the utility of Bitcoin.
	It has utility.
	But like I said, so do a lot of other coins that have even better utility, better privacy, better transaction speeds.
	In some cases, you know, other utilities, such as being able to tokenize physical assets and things like that.
	So Bitcoin is great, but it could be eclipsed tomorrow.
	And then what happens to Bitcoin?
	And then what happens to a government that spent all its gold to buy Bitcoin?
	And then if Bitcoin collapses in value, that government has no Bitcoin value and no gold.
	And that's stupid.
	If you have gold, hold the gold.
	If you have Bitcoin, you may wish to hold the Bitcoin.
	But at the end of the day, gold isn't going to be replaced by a different element.
	Gold's not going to be replaced by a crypto.
	But a crypto can be replaced by another crypto pretty quickly.
	It can happen rapidly, you know, at the speed of human attention and the speed of light, the speed of the internet, you know, it can happen very rapidly.
	So be very cautious.
	I'm not anti-Bitcoin.
	I'm not saying sell your Bitcoin.
	I'm just saying be very, very cautious.
	If you're buying at this price, Understand it's speculation.
	Could you double or triple your money?
	Yeah, possibly so.
	If the government starts buying Bitcoin, could it go to $250k per Bitcoin?
	Absolutely.
	But could it also go to $10,000 of Bitcoin?
	Could it go to $10?
	Could it collapse in value?
	Yes, it absolutely could.
	So be mindful of these possibilities.
	And if you want something that will outlast the rise and fall of every currency, every nation, every government, and every crypto, that answer is gold.
	It's gold and silver.
	Table of Elements isn't going anywhere, and it doesn't depend on a password or electricity or technology in order to exist.
	So just a word of caution.
	Be careful with what you do in crypto.

	Okay, today we are going to feature an interview with a former United States Marine.
	I believe he was a Marine.
	Yeah, I think he's a Marine.
	Jamie Walden, who is also a Christian pastor, and he's author of the book Omega Dynamics.
	And his website is omegadynamics.org.
	And given that I've been teaching over 100 Bible sermons, and studying the Bible, teaching the Bible, and really working to try to understand Scripture and what it all means, which I guess is a lifetime study, But Jamie Walden teaches Christian principles, sermons, and so on.
	And like me, he's also very frustrated with conventional Christian, the institutions of Christian churches in America today, and believes they are failing us.
	They are failing to do what they're supposed to be doing.
	So we definitely agree on that point.
	Perhaps not everything, but a whole lot of things.
	And I find Jamie Walden to be A really valuable voice to listen to.
	So that's why I invited him for an interview, and I think you'll really enjoy this.

	And here's a quick message, a little studio message of what we have in the store right now.
	And we'll follow that with the interview with Jamie Walden.
	Mike Adams here and I want to share a little nutritional secret with you.
	So you know I drink these smoothies every day.
	I make these out of avocados and bananas and whey protein.
	I put some other powders in them as well.
	I put a little black cumin seed oil in there and some vitamin D drops and things like that.
	But what I've added today into my smoothie, because we now have it available in our store, is called Golden Milk.
	I know it's kind of a funny name, but it's orange.
	It's golden orange colored because it's got a lot of turmeric in it.
	But let me show you this.
	I've got it on my desk here.
	There it is in the canisters there on the right and left-hand side.
	Golden milk powder canisters.
	Of course, it's certified organic and laboratory tested.
	But if you show my screen, I want to walk you through some of the ingredients.
	This is incredibly delicious.
	It's great for the fall season here, too.
	but it's made with organic coconut milk powder and then organic date sugar, which is a low glycemic natural sweetener.
	And then the functional herbs are, you've got curcumin, which is an extract from turmeric.
	You've got organic turmeric root powder, organic ginger root powder for that spice, that fall spice, ashwagandha powder, which is an adaptogen that's really potent.
	And then cinnamon powder gives it that just delicious flavor.
	Cinnamon, by the way, is used a lot in traditional Chinese medicine, and it has its own health properties.
	All this together is called organic golden milk superfood.
	You can take the powder and you can blend it into water, or you can blend it like I did with avocados and bananas.
	You can blend it with cashews to make like a cashew milk, like a Like a superfood fall eggnog nutrition drink.
	You know, there's no eggs in it and it's not all sugared up like typical eggnog.
	It's way better than eggnog.
	But it's great for the fall season.
	Or you can use almond milk or any other kind of milk or raw cow's milk, whatever you have, fresh milk off the farm.
	Mix this with it and you will have a superfood extravaganza that has so many functional benefits, it's too many to even name.
	Now, in addition to that, here's what else we have available at the Health Ranger store.
	I just mentioned ashwagandha.
	We have an ashwagandha liquid extract available right now, too.
	Here it is.
	It's organic liquid extract, two fluid ounces.
	This is a super high-end extract that's extracted with a combination of alcohol, water, and glycerin.
	And as a result, because of those three different, quote, solvents, or...
	You know, carriers, you actually extract more of the nutrients from the ashwagandha root than just using one of those.
	So this is available now, and it's really fantastic.
	And if you show my desk, I want to mention a couple other things.
	We have asazanthin, Hawaiian asazanthin, now back in stock for the first time in a long time.
	That is a fat-soluble carotenoid that has extraordinary properties.
	If you haven't yet tried astaxanthin and just observe what it can help with in terms of your mobility and joints and cognitive protective support, things like that, Try astaxanthin.
	I think you'll be really amazed at what it can do for you.
	In addition, we have the Boku Superfood formulation now in stock for the first time.
	This organic superfood is based on the original Boku formulation, but it's been Upgraded, enhanced with our sourcing, our laboratory testing, and the result is now the combination Boku Superfood, Health Ranger Store, combo formulation and lab testing product, available for the first time, plant-based, high-density nutrition, ready to blend into water or milk or anything like that.
	It's available for the first time at our store.
	And then finally, if you go back to my desk, yeah, we've got ginger latte powder, which is, you know, more of a sort of coffee-themed drink there that's also quite delicious.
	And then we also have there, in the brown label, the organic freeze-dried crunchy munchies, banana, apple, cinnamon.
	These are fruit and herb purees that are freeze-dried into little snack chunks.
	They're called crunchy munchies.
	They're fun to eat.
	Kids love them too.
	The ingredients are just incredibly clean and nutritious.
	We also have Banana strawberry flavor available in the crunchy munchies as well.
	So a great snack, a great travel food.
	All of this and much more is available now at healthrangerstore.com.
	And also don't want to forget iodine because everybody's freaking out about the risk of nuclear war right now.
	And sure enough, we've got nascent iodine available at the store.
	This is the cap version because the caps last much longer than the droppers, but you can also buy this with a dropper in it, or you can get bulk deals with this.
	You can buy, like, six bottles with caps right here, a six-pack.
	And this stuff is going to just disappear off the shelves the minute, you know, let's pray it doesn't happen, but the minute war escalates, Even more between Russia and Ukraine, especially if somebody starts launching nukes, or even if Israel starts launching nukes, which could happen on any given day, it seems, but you won't be able to find nascent iodine on the shelves.
	So get it now while you can, and when it's relatively affordable and available, we've got it right now.
	We're shipping right now out of our warehouse in central Texas.
	So thank you for all your support.
	Shop at healthrangerstore.com for all your nutrition needs.
	And you can find many different products that we have available, hundreds to choose from, that are health and nutrition.
	We've got hundreds of different products to choose from, themed on health and nutrition and superfoods, even personal care products.
	We've got freeze-dried crunchy munchies and also storable food, certified organic storable food, Various nutritional supplements.
	Yes, we test everything for glyphosate.
	We test it for heavy metals.
	We test for microbiology contamination, E. coli, salmonella, yeast and mold, total plate count, other testing as well.
	So we do more testing than anybody that I know of in this business.
	And so you can rest assured that whatever you purchase from our store is ultra clean, ultra tested, and has very high density nutrition without all the crazy high toxic heavy metals that are very commonly found in products like turmeric and ginger and moringa and many others.
	So, hey...
	As I say about the other nutritional product providers out there, if they're not testing for heavy metals, they're selling heavy metals.
	You've got to test for it because heavy metals contamination is crazy common in certain types of foods and supplements like turmeric.
	So we have...
	Laboratory tested, certified organic.

	Take care.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	We are an uncensored free speech video platform.
	And you'll see that in spades today because we have a very special guest, Jamie Walden, who is a former Marine Corps sergeant.
	And of course, he runs OmegaDynamics.org, which is his Christian ministry.
	And he courageously teaches many very, very important principles for us.
	And I'm a fan of his work.
	I learned a lot from Jamie Walden over the years and his Omega Dynamics teachings.
	And, of course, I've incorporated some of his concepts into my own teachings with our Church of Natural Abundance.
	But Jamie has been teaching for many, many years.
	He's got a lot of important messages to share with us.
	So we'll bring him in.
	Welcome, Jamie Walden.
	It's an honor, sir, to have you on the show with me today.
	Yeah, thanks for having me on, Mike.
	We were talking off-air a little bit.
	It's been a while.
	I think the last thing we talked about was Apophis in-depth there about a year and a half ago, so it's good to be back on with you.
	It's great to have you back on, and I really appreciate what you're doing.
	And, you know, there are so many of us in this alternative media space, you and I and people like Steve Quayle, who are faith oriented individuals.
	But we're very dissatisfied with what the mainstream Christian church has become, especially observing it during COVID years, didn't really stand up for the freedom to congregate in churches, didn't stand up for health freedom.
	Actually, a lot of churches promoted the jabs to their own congregations.
	And even today, the church seems to be, when I say the church, I mean like the mainstream churches, they're really failing from what I believe Christ taught we were supposed to be doing.
	So I want to start there, get your reaction.
	Do you agree or disagree?
	Or what do you think we need to be doing?
	Absolutely.
	I mean, it's actually, I would say, a strong 97% of what I deal with is exactly what you're talking about, Mike, with regards to the church.
	And, you know, just as a qualifier for the listeners out there, you know, to define words, when we say the church, that's anybody who's a claimant of Christianity, of Christ being the Lord and Savior of their life.
	So, that comes in a lot of different flavors, a lot of different ilks, a lot of bents and biases and denominations and...
	You know, just a tetherball of things being hit back and forth all around the space out there.
	And so church is a broad-spectrum word that we've kind of adapted in our modern lexicon, especially Western-centric lexicon.
	And sometimes it can be maligned because of how nebulous the word church is.
	But, you know, sometimes I like to define the Give the qualifier as the authentic church, right?
	Or the authentic Christianity.
	Or not just a professing believer in Christ Jesus, but an authentically blood-bought, born-again believer in Christ Jesus to make those differentiations in the language.
	And the reason why, you know, even the grievances that I know I speak to regularly, and Mike, I know that you're addressing, At different times through different angles, it is because it's actually the summation of all biblical prophecy.
	And that's one of the things that people have a hard time reconciling is the depth and breadth of the signification of this convergent zenith.
	Of all things biblically prophetic.
	And here's what I mean by that, is the centrality of the end of the age, of everything just prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
	I mean, a lot of people want to look at the objective, the empirical, right?
	The volcanism and the earthquakes and the wars and rumors of wars, astro-catastrophism, pestilence, right?
	Economic woes.
	There's kind of these tangible...
	It's an empirical objective analysis that we can use and literally plug in data points on different types of graphs to distinguish that.
	But what we notice biblically, the singularity of what was spoken to both in the Old Testament and the New Testament through Christ himself, through the apostles and also through the epistles, the writers of the other epistles in the New Testament, It's the singular theme of the understanding of the lateness of the hour will be the spirit of the claimants of Christianity, the spirit of the church.
	And that's why, Mike, you and I, or others, whoever else is out there addressing these things, it's become so acute in our cerebral cortex, in our senses, in our spirit, in our prayer life, in our woes, in our laments, is because it is...
	It's front and center stage.
	And the centrality of the spirit of the age, just prior to Christ returning, is fixated on the Christians and then it pivots to Israel.
	And that's why you have this strange mix even overlaying right now with political Zionism and what's going on, everything with that, like this fomenting stir-up that all the nations of the world, all the people of the earth are fixated on that as well too, but as well as the apostasy of the claimants of Christianity.
	Where I'm going with that is what it says unequivocally in 2 Timothy 2, 2 Timothy 3, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, the book of Jude, the book of Revelation, Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, Luke 12, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Thessalonians.
	I could go on.
	All of them.
	It's all of it.
	And this is what it says is that they will be lovers of self.
	They'll be proud, boastful, arrogant, treacherous, rash, full of conceit.
	They will not be lovers of good.
	They will be abusive to their parents.
	They will have the form of godliness.
	So they'll use all the Christianese language they can ever muster.
	Right.
	And they'll attach Jesus and the spirit to everything that they're saying.
	It says they'll have the form of godliness, but totally deny the power thereof.
	It says that they'll always be learning, but they'll never able to come to understand the truth.
	They will not tolerate sound doctrine.
	The way of truth will come into disrepute.
	And in its place, it actually says that they...
	And again, remember, this is to the Christians.
	Mike, this is talking about what the Christians are going to be like.
	It says that they will devote themselves to the doctrines of demons.
	And they will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
	And when you think about the totality of everything that's being communicated through the scriptures, it's no wonder why I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall.
	I'm sure you do and others do.
	Because you literally are not fighting against ignorance.
	You're fighting against a delusion.
	And a person who's delusional versus a person who's ignorant...
	Are completely two different personalities.
	I was a police officer.
	I interned with the U.S. Marshals.
	I was in federal law enforcement for a short stint interning with them before moving into being a street cop.
	And then I was a street paramedic for a long time too.
	So anyways, I have my finger on the pulse of human behavior.
	And I can tell you unequivocally, dealing with somebody who's ignorant is pretty simple.
	You can manage ignorance.
	But dealing with somebody who's delusional is a whole different story.
	There is no amount of rationalization, of heart string pulling, of empirical objectivity, of data, you know, fire hosing that you can possibly do to somebody who's delusional.
	And actually, here's what's unique about where I'm going with that, is what the scripture says is, his people...
	Those who claim to be his people, let me give that qualifier.
	Those who claim to be his people, he will actually, God himself is the one that gives them over to a strong delusion.
	So not only are we fighting against a delusion, we're fighting against a delusion that is imposed by God.
	We're fighting against a delusion that's imposed by God because the claimants of Christianity to begin with Do not love the truth.
	They've allowed it to come in disrepute.
	And it says that in Romans 1, knowing God, they will not glorify Him nor give Him thanks.
	So then He gives them over, gives them over, He gives them over.
	And so when we say we're fighting the spirit of the age, there's no amount of...
	I'm communicating that you can do to adequately justify what that means that we're up against this purity age, Mike.
	So all this is actually prophetic fulfillment, which it doesn't mean that we acquiesce.
	It doesn't mean that we roll over.
	It doesn't mean that we become nihilistic in our efforts.
	But what it means is you just have to have an understanding of how significant the uphill battle is and how few there will be that will actually intentionally pursue and walk in the light and in the truth.
	And here's the deal is most people pursue Christ or they use the name of Christ Jesus because they want his hand.
	But what they don't want is his face.
	And actually that's even prophetic fulfillment is illustrated in both Jeremiah and Isaiah.
	He says, See, the Christians want to hear anything that is going to puff up their own flesh.
	Because remember, they'll be lovers of self.
	And they'll be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
	It's like you can tell them anything that is going to feed their flesh, feed their little dopamine drip, feed their little counterfeit sense of euphoria, their little blissful whatever experience.
	But if you start talking truth, like biblical truth, like eternal truth, like a right standing with the Holy God type of truth...
	Even things related to the end times and the second coming of Jesus Christ and the reality of their geopolitics and their copal reality that's going on around them, they will actually fight you to the death.
	Mike, I'm sure you can attest to that.
	As soon as you come against Israel, I bet you get bombarded with haters, right?
	Alright, so Jamie, you said a lot there.
	Let's start with a theme that a lot of Christians, modern day Christians, think that if they go through the rituals...
	Then that qualifies them.
	That if they tithe, if they sing the hymns, if they say the right words, if they say they're a Christian, if they pray, but their spirit isn't in it.
	And one of the things that I learned about really reading Scripture and teaching Scripture over these last few months is that Christ himself was not someone who believed in just heartless rituals.
	It was about the mind and the spirit, not the rituals.
	And of course, Paul taught the same thing.
	You don't need to eat just kosher foods.
	You don't need to do the circumcision.
	That's not required to be a good Christian.
	That's not required to enter heaven.
	You don't need to be overly zealous about these things.
	And You know, Jesus, of course, overturned the tables, but he also, he freed the, I think it was the rams and the sheep and the doves at the same time.
	And even God said, I think this was in Isaiah, I think it's where God said, you know, I'm Or maybe this was Psalm 11. I'm tired.
	Maybe you know.
	I'm tired of all the sacrifices of the bulls.
	I don't want to see any more blood of the bulls because you people still haven't changed anyway.
	You keep killing the rams and the bulls, but you're still wicked, evil people.
	That's what God said, right?
	Yeah, it is.
	So we have this preoccupation with the rituals.
	And this was true with the Jews of ancient Israel, and it's just as true with Christians today.
	We have this preoccupation with rituals.
	Without the soul of Christianity, and I see that all around me all the time now today, especially as I'm reading more and more and teaching more scripture, I'm seeing more examples of this all around me.
	How does...
	How does the church get its wake-up call from this?
	Yeah, man, Mike, that's a tough one because, you know, that's been the battle since the garden.
	You know, the entirety of what the Nakash, you know, which is a seraphim, not a cherubim, I could get into that forever.
	But what happened in the garden anyways was exactly that was to take the pure, simple, sincere desire of the Lord for intimate relationship from a heart's desire.
	And then to complicate it by adding a yoke of slavery, a slavery of fear over both Adam and Eve, which brought in the curse of both sin and the death.
	And that's what it's all been centered on.
	And actually, that's what made the Pharisees, the whole foundational basis of the Pharisees, was that exact reality, is that they took the simple, pure gospel that God was always trying to show them, even through the law, even through the Levitical and Old Testament-based laws, was to prove to them That it's about a heart's desire that no matter how many of their ritualistic things, they could never have a right standing with the Lord.
	And in fact, the Lord never wanted those things.
	What he wanted was their hearts.
	That's right.
	And what you see is you see David even testifying to that.
	He says, it's not the fat of rams that you wanted, O Lord.
	If that were what you wanted, I would have brought them.
	But a broken and contrite heart you will not despise, right?
	It says that all over the place.
	Isaiah 30, 15 says, And repentance and rest is your salvation, and in quietness and trust would be your salvation, but you would have none of it.
	You know, he's constantly addressing the heart.
	Even Christ Jesus speaks to the heart of the Pharisees when he, you know, he's talking about them being a brood of vipers, which, by the way, that is no joke to call somebody that, and what he was actually referencing.
	You're of your father, the devil, you're blah, blah, blah.
	And what he said is, you're like whitewashed tombs.
	You want the outside to look good, but on the inside it's full of dead man's bones.
	And he said, it's not what's on the outside of the cup that makes a man unclean.
	It's what's on the inside of the cup.
	Clean the inside first and everything else will be clean.
	Basically, what he kept saying was, it's about the heart.
	I want the heart.
	That's why the woman at the well, he didn't refuse.
	The woman caught in adultery, he didn't refuse.
	That's why the tax collectors and the prostitutes and the kind of the social outcast and the throwaways, the rough and tumble blue collar fishermen bros, like those are because they had a humble and contrite heart.
	But the religious elite...
	Couldn't come nowhere near Jesus.
	In fact, when John the Baptist was preaching Christ, paving the way for Christ, and the Pharisees came to listen to him, John the Baptist literally got ticked off and said, who told you guys were to come hear the words of life?
	Because he knew they actually weren't even pure in pursuing the Lord.
	You know, and the Apostle Paul speaking to, I think it's in Galatians, maybe it's in 2 Corinthians.
	Don't quote me on that.
	But he says, I fear that just as Eve was deceived in the garden, you too have been deceived from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
	And Galatians, I know he says, you foolish Galatians who so easily bewitched you that after having begun with the spirit of God, like knowing the heart of the Lord, now you're going to try to finish in the flesh.
	What he's saying is like, who in the world keeps putting these yokes of slavery and bondage on you?
	All this Torah-observing stuff and this thing, and I don't care if it's Baptists or Lutherans or Methodists or Seeker-friendly or NAR or whatever.
	Every denomination does it.
	They create religion.
	Within their own doors, within their own denomination, that if you check these boxes, you will have a right standing with God.
	And God's like, are you kidding me?
	That's like the very thing I came to destroy.
	Because then you can boast, you can brag, you can self-exalt, you can self-esteem, you can self-justify, and you can self-righteousness.
	The entire purpose of the law was to prove that you never could do that.
	And the entire purpose of Christ was to be your covering, knowing that you could never do that.
	It's His righteousness, His justification, His blamelessness, His everything covers you.
	Because none of those things could ever do that.
	And you know what all these people do?
	Which is why Christ and God intended to obliterate that whole reality is what they do is they lord it over the next guy and they shut people out of the kingdom of God by their stupid, religious, haughty, self-righteous endeavors.
	It's been going on from the garden, bro.
	From the garden, they've been doing the same old thing.
	So in answer to your question, how do you wake the church up?
	I don't know, man.
	All I know is in the book of Revelation, it says, those with ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit is saying.
	So I'm like, okay, I can't drag you kicking and screaming into a kingdom reality you want no part of.
	All I can do is speak to those with ears to hear.
	Agreed.
	Agreed.
	And I would also add, and I've said this in my own sermons, that you don't have to go to church to go to heaven.
	Period.
	You do not have to go to church to go to heaven.
	Salvation is a personal path through Christ to the Lord.
	You don't have to go to any church.
	In fact, some churches will lead you astray, actually.
	The vast majority, sadly, will maybe not intentionally lead you astray, but because of the doctrines of demons and doctrines of men, by default, they can create all kinds of chaos in your spirit to where you never come to a revelation of your true identity in Christ.
	And it's interesting, Mike, you should say that about a church, because If the listeners were to do a word study throughout the entirety of the New Testament of every time it says, and they gathered in a house, and they met in a house, and they went house to house, there is no such thing as a corporate denominational thing.
	It was the spirit of the living God, by the word of the living God, through the move of Christ Jesus, in those who would, whosoever would receive them, whosoever would receive them, To walk in freedom, not freedom to sin, not freedom to be licentious and freedom to make war against God by loving the world and the things of the world, but freedom to seek the Lord with all your heart.
	And in that freedom, you're even free to fall flat on your face.
	Knowing that Christ is more than sufficient to cover over that failing as well, too.
	So everything is supposed to be about magnifying Christ, not man and not the flesh.
	And as we know, I know you're a scientist, Mike.
	Whatever you magnify becomes exponentially bigger in your field of view.
	So either you can magnify men and the doctrines of men and all these duty checkboxy things, or you can magnify Christ Jesus as your all in all.
	Well, good point.
	And I would kind of translate that by saying that salvation isn't a bureaucracy, right?
	You don't have to fill out all the proper forms at your local church in order to qualify.
	In fact, I was just reading some of the last verses of Old Testament, Joel chapter 2, and in pre-Christ, and God said, To enter heaven, it's just those who call on the Lord shall be saved in this time.
	But he destroys everything else.
	He destroys nations.
	He destroys cities.
	He destroys those who are not qualified, but he saves those who are qualified.
	And much of the scripture is teaching us exactly how you qualify.
	And I say to people, it's actually not that difficult to be a good person.
	It's really not that hard.
	Like, if you say being a good person means 50% or more of good behavior, let's just imagine it's that.
	It would be hard to be more than 50% evil.
	What would you have to do?
	Like, wake up and kick the dog first thing?
	Like, how do you be more than 50% evil?
	But it is important to know the rules of the system, what counts for salvation, and that's where Scripture is really valuable.
	But let me say this, and I'll ask for your reaction.
	I think that the modern Western culture of wokeism has really diluted the teachings of Christ, or how it's taught, right?
	I mean, the interpretation of it.
	Like, Christ is solid in what he taught, but in our modern-day woke society, we end up with not Christianity, but woke-ianity, which is the softening of everything.
	Like, you really don't have to be that much of a, you know, spiritual person.
	You really don't have to hold people accountable for their actions.
	You know, you really don't have to be that much of a good person.
	And I reject that wokeism, because I think that God judges firmly.
	I say God judges firmly, but fairly.
	But He's firm, right?
	Yeah, I agree.
	You cannot be a wicked, evil person and child trafficker and whatever, and then one day you're like, oh, we'll ask for forgiveness, whatever.
	Now I get into heaven.
	I don't think so.
	No, you don't.
	And I've taken some heat, people saying, well, how is it that you can judge people?
	I'm like, I don't judge people.
	God's going to judge people.
	And he already told you how he's going to judge you.
	It's written in the Bible.
	So it's right there, black and white and red letters.
	It's pretty simple.
	It is simple, Mike.
	I say that all the time.
	The gospel is simple, not easy.
	It's simple, but not easy.
	And the part that makes it difficult is that you have to die to yourself.
	That's what the whole thing is, is to crucify the flesh, mortify the flesh, like to die for Christ's gain, right?
	To die to self.
	Because self is always going to be antagonistic to the gospel.
	I mean, Christ modeled and led from the front selflessness, right?
	No greater love is there than this that a man would lay down his life for his friends.
	And you are my friends if you obey my commands.
	Christ led from the front in that as a true and better warrior king and as a warrior high priest, you know.
	And the wokeism that has entered the church is literally, Mike, most people don't know this, it's the same wokeism that entered ancient Israel.
	It's in the book of Malachi and elsewhere.
	Jeremiah and Isaiah speak to it, Nahum, Zephaniah speak to it, Habakkuk speaks to it, but also in particular Malachi, which was the last book of the Old Testament before God went straight up silent to the prophets of Israel for over 400 years.
	And here's what he said.
	He said, this is God speaking, The Lord says, you have wearied me, but you, Israel, say, how have we wearied you, God?
	And he says, by saying, all who do evil are good in the eyes of the Lord.
	And where is this God of justice?
	That's hyper grace.
	That was the last thing that the Jewish oligarchy will say, theocratic oligarchy, was teaching before Christ went dead silent.
	Guess what?
	It comes full circle to the end of the age, to the Laodicean church age, the great apostasia, as it's worded in 2 Thessalonians 2. It's the same thing.
	Hyper, hyper, wokeism, grace.
	And what they've done is they have done this cosmic exchange, biblically, this is biblical, a cosmic exchange, the truth for a lie.
	That's what we're talking about here.
	They've exchanged the truth about God for a lie about God.
	So they say, love wins, bro.
	Love does.
	Love, love, love.
	And I go, but what's love?
	Who gets to define what love is?
	Does a Democrat get to define what love is?
	Because if they do, that's horrifying.
	Well, they say love is pedophilia.
	Exactly.
	And that's why I say, so what is love?
	Well, and the Christians are trying to redefine love as well, too.
	They say love is tolerant.
	No, love is forbearant.
	Totally different language.
	Right, not tolerant of evil.
	Yeah, I'm very keen on language.
	They say love is friendly.
	And I go, actually, I don't see friendliness anywhere in the scriptures as a fruit of the Spirit.
	They say love is nice.
	No, it's not.
	Love is kind.
	See, kindness is a completely different posture than niceness.
	So again, this cosmic exchange, even of our neuro-linguistic phraseology to where we don't even know what authentic love is.
	Because guess what authentic love will do, Mike?
	Authentic love will fight.
	Authentic love will hate.
	Authentic love will sweat and bleed.
	Authentic love will cut off.
	Authentic love will impose right justice, righteous justice.
	Authentic love will make judgments about all things.
	So even that perversion of like, don't be judgmental.
	And I go, well, then whoever just said that doesn't even know the scriptures.
	Clearly.
	A spiritually-minded man makes judgments about all things.
	It says we speak in spiritual words, with spiritual truths, a man without the Spirit can't discern it.
	It is foolishness to him.
	But a spiritually-minded man makes judgments about all things.
	You can't drive your car without making a million judgments per second.
	You're constantly making judgments.
	Left, right.
	Safe, stop, slow down, want to apply to break, whatever.
	I mean, you make judgments in relationships, want to be tactful, want to be kind and loving and forbearing, or want to be maybe a little bit more firm and not tolerate the lie or the deceit that they're speaking from or whatever.
	So like, and love hates.
	Why?
	Why does love hate?
	Authentic love will hate all kinds of things because this is a quote from Corrie Ten Boom.
	And it says that love will always manifest itself in the degree to which it's willing to sacrifice towards the object of its love.
	That's why.
	And that's why God hates.
	Why?
	Because he loves you.
	So he hates sin.
	That keeps you separated from him.
	He hates lies.
	He hates deceit.
	He hates wickedness.
	He hates your low self-esteem, your low sense of worth.
	He hates that you were sexually abused.
	He hates that you were physically abused.
	He hates that you're narcissists and you're prideful and you're haughty because he knows it destroys relationships.
	He hates divorce because he knows what it does to generations of kids from there on out.
	He hates all kinds of things.
	Why?
	Because he is love.
	God is love, period.
	God is love.
	That discernment is what is so often missing from our culture and I think our modern day religious practices.
	And this is why I love the fact that on your website, again, omegadynamics.org, your primary photo there, here you are with your service rifle, your M4. And you are a warrior.
	You're also a pastor.
	You teach spirituality, but you also have that discernment to know when does a man have to fight to protect his family or to protect his nation?
	When is the application of violence consistent with the spiritual teachings of Christ and the Lord?
	And you and I both agree on that.
	I mean, we both exercise self-defense wherever it is morally and spiritually necessary.
	I think that's one of the things that separates us from the woke, because the woke will say, oh, you have to be kind to everybody, including the person breaking into your house to rape your child, and they'll say, yeah, you have to be nice to everybody.
	No, we don't.
	We're going to ventilate that person.
	And we're going to say, praise God that I had the ammo.
	That's the difference.
	You can't just stand in the face of wickedness and evil and do nothing.
	Now, we don't instigate violence.
	But we aren't afraid to apply it in defense of those we love.
	Does that make sense?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Unequivocally.
	And I've had to make that distinction with a lot of people over the years.
	And here's one of the unique attributes of the Lord.
	You know, there's a handful of things that says God is.
	Like, He just is.
	He's the embodiment of it.
	I already said God is love.
	The other one is the Lord is a warrior.
	The Lord The Lord, like a mighty man of war, will stir up his zeal and show himself mighty against his foes.
	The Lord is with me like a dread warrior.
	In fact, the number one name of the Lord that he uses to identify himself is the Lord of the Heavens Armies, as it's often rendered the Lord of Hosts.
	What it means is the Lord of the Heavens Armies.
	And actually has a very particular name that he wants to be known by, which actually renders in the Hebrew, the Lord of the Expeditionary Fighting Forces.
	No kidding.
	Like it's that detail.
	Now me coming as a Marine where we operate in MEWS and MEFS, right?
	Marine Expeditionary Units and Marine Expeditionary Forces.
	That connects me.
	And that's why I wasn't saved when I was in the Marine Corps.
	I didn't come to know the Lord until I was like 25. And as soon as I started reading the gospel, I knew exactly what I was looking at.
	I was looking at a warrior culture.
	They have ethos, codes of conduct, and character.
	And they sing hymns and songs.
	And they laugh together.
	And they cry together.
	And they lay down their lives.
	And they're willing to lay down their very bodies so that others may live.
	They take the fight to the enemy.
	They protect the innocent so that others may live.
	They're unified.
	I knew what I was looking at coming from the Marine Corps infantry as a war fighter.
	When I read the Gospels, I was like, oh yeah, why wasn't I told that in a church?
	I grew up in a church.
	I never heard any of this.
	And all I have to do is read the word for myself and go, oh my God, this is who you are.
	Let me make this distinction, Mike.
	I said the Lord is a warrior, not the Lord is a soldier.
	Now, that's not to offend any army doggies out there, right?
	But what I'm saying is a warrior is He has a very particular distinctive heart posture.
	A warrior is different than a begrudging conscript.
	He's different than a draftee.
	He's different than a begrudging soldier that shows up to do the bare minimum Biden's time.
	A warrior is compulsed or compelled to do what he does from a deep, authentic love that most people will never understand.
	That's why they're willing to suffer more than everybody else.
	They're willing to work harder than everybody else.
	They're willing to take the hits more than anybody else.
	They're willing to throw themselves into the fray, into the fog of war more than anybody else because they love so intimately.
	They love their brothers.
	They love their family members.
	Let's say from a humanistic perspective, they love their nation.
	They love the idea and the concepts and the ethos and the codes of conduct of freedom and what that represents.
	They love the people that hate them and spit on them.
	They're still willing to die for them.
	That's exactly what Christ Jesus did when he led from the front.
	That's why the Lord is a warrior.
	He is.
	Because he's love-compulsed.
	I want to mention this phrase that appears to me over and over again in Old Testament, in the words of Christ, in the New Testament, and in Revelation.
	And that is the day of the Lord.
	The day of the Lord, in almost every context, is a day of the judgment and the wrath of God against those who have been wicked.
	So think about it.
	He describes himself, the day of the Lord, as a day of judgment.
	And he shows his face.
	He shows his fury against those who have been evil.
	And another thing that...
	I'm sure you've noticed this as well, that in many places in the Bible when it says that the Lord pours out His Spirit upon something, that's not a good thing.
	He pours out His Spirit upon Israel.
	He's judging Israel.
	He's judging the people for their wickedness.
	And even in Revelation, when you talk about the seven bowls, the seven bowls are poured out upon the earth by the angels.
	Each bowl is poured out, and these bowls have catastrophic consequences, also described in Matthew 24 by Jesus himself.
	But the pouring out, the judgment, the day of the Lord, These are all clues that judgment is real and that we are accountable for our actions.
	And I did not know this about the Bible until I just read it word for word myself because nobody in these churches is teaching this.
	They're teaching this like self-improvement, Tony Robbins Christian bullshit.
	And I'm sorry, it's just not what the Bible says.
	No, it is, man.
	It is.
	That's totally what it is.
	And here's the reality is that what most people don't understand is it says the foundations of his throne are righteousness and justice, period.
	You can't get away from it.
	Now, grace and mercy go out from it, but the foundations are righteousness and justice.
	So, as it says elsewhere, if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
	So, if you replace that foundation with niceness and friendliness, right, we've already established that those are nowhere in the scriptures as an attribute of righteousness.
	Of God or the character of God or the fruit of the Spirit that we have as believers, as friendliness and niceness.
	Obviously, we should be friendly.
	We should be kind.
	Kindness and all these other things, those are right fruits.
	But if we flip the foundations of the throne room of God and make it about this weird, tolerant, kind of hyper-grace thing, then we miss it all.
	And what you strategically do, which is one of the attributes of the powers of darkness through their asymmetric hybrid High-level, multi-dimensional psychological warfare is what you do is you remove the fear of the Lord.
	Now, somebody who has a bad religious background, they were raised in a bad church, they had bad hypocritical parents, whatever their skewed perspective is of God because of their personal experiences, When they hear language like that, they freak out and they say, see, that's why I want nothing to do with your God.
	But what they don't understand is that righteousness, justice, and the fear of the Lord, these are all good things because God is only good.
	He can only ever be good.
	And the fact that righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne ought to give you a quiet confidence on everything from there on out.
	Like, Think of all the injustices that people experience on a personal level, even in a marriage, right?
	Or with failed adult children, or the failings of this world, or even being aware of the wickedness.
	You want God to operate in justice, but not just justice as in an empirical, or what would be the word, like A non-objective justice that's on a sliding scale.
	You want it to be righteous justice so that it's always perfect.
	It's always perfect.
	Nothing's out of whack.
	And so what most people don't understand is because the foundations of his throne are righteousness and justice, then he rightly attributes to you when you confess and believe in Christ Jesus The righteousness of Christ, the blamelessness of Christ, the holiness of Christ, like he justly gives everything that is Christ and he puts it on you.
	So you ought to praise God that the foundations are righteousness and justice.
	And here's what's also awesome about righteousness and justice being the foundations of his throne.
	If you don't want the Lord in the land of the living, you hate Him, you want nothing to do with Him, you want to shake your fist at the heavens, you want to curse His name, and you hate everything that He represents and despise because you want to feed your flesh, well, then He justly satisfies the desire of your heart.
	You don't want Him now?
	Why would you want Him for all of eternity?
	Good point, yeah.
	Allows you to choose not to be with them.
	Or he justly, righteously allows you to come in and he says, I will be their God and they will be my people and I will dwell among them and never will they depart from my presence.
	This idea of righteousness and justice is huge.
	And you want God to judge the inhabitants of the earth.
	Are you kidding me?
	Do you want to hear one more story from an adult woman about how she was sexually abused and how it's fractured her identity and how many different relationships she's run to?
	And she hates herself.
	She's filled with self-loathing.
	Don't you want God's justice to be poured out on land?
	What about the baby and the children and blah, blah, blah, and the wicked governments and just the Broken-hearted people, man.
	That's all I deal with every day.
	Every day.
	It's like, my spirit is crushed because the spirits of everybody else that I hear how crushed they are.
	And I cry out, come, Lord Jesus, come.
	Come, like, make it stop.
	Make it stop.
	I want the righteous justice of God to come unto the earth because I know it is perfectly good, it is perfectly righteous, and it is only done in love.
	All of it is in love.
	But what's really interesting, though, about all of this is that God promises us that we will all face that moment of judgment after we pass from this realm.
	So those who sleep will be awakened.
	We will all be brought forth.
	Our book of life is reviewed.
	This is all in Revelation.
	And then we will be judged according to our deeds and our faith.
	And then...
	We either enter heaven, which is obviously a completely different dimension.
	It's not on earth.
	It doesn't have a sun.
	It doesn't have a moon.
	It doesn't have day and night.
	It's a completely different dimension.
	It's not here on earth.
	You've transcended this dimension at that point.
	But we will all face that judgment at that time.
	However, in this realm, though, Jamie...
	He gives us the free will to make so many errors and mistakes and to allow nations to make mistakes and history to make mistakes because this is the learning process, is it not?
	How does faith matter if we don't choose it?
	And how do we choose it if we don't learn from the mistakes of not choosing faith?
	If we turn away from the teachings of God and the love of God, that's when we experience the harshness and the pain of those mistakes.
	And then we learn to bring into our spirit the choice of choosing God.
	And isn't that what this realm is all about for us?
	What do you think?
	It is.
	And it's funny.
	It's funny the questions and the topics that you're touching on, Mike, because like the...
	Last several questions that you've asked or the dialogue that we've had is each one was a sermon I preached on in the last month.
	Really?
	Like literally going into each of these deep dive for the listeners.
	They can go to the YouTube channel just under Jamie Walton.
	You can go dig into them because these are exactly the questions that we're wrestling through.
	And what's unique about going back to the judgment of God, like you said, we're all going to stand before the judgment seat of God.
	The beautiful thing is in Christ Jesus, and this is biblical, you're judged to see what your rewards are for all eternity.
	That's what you're judged for.
	Why?
	Because the just judgment that should be yours because of your sin, because of your feelings, because of whatever, was put on Christ in your stead.
	And he says, your sins have been removed from you as far as the east is from the west, right?
	Like, if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation.
	The old is gone, the new has come.
	You know, he talks about the white raiments, like pure, spotless, blameless, without wrinkle, like washed by the word of Christ.
	You know, it says in the book of Jude that he's able to make you stand in God's presence, blameless and with great joy, not cowering like, oh my goodness, am I good enough?
	Did I do enough?
	Am I good enough to make it in?
	If, Puget, circle it in your Bible, if you're in Christ Jesus, because all that was laid on the Lamb who is worthy to be slain.
	Now, if you're not in Christ Jesus, you are judged to see what you earned as well, too.
	Like, what did your wages of your sin earn you, you know?
	And the synopsis or the overarching thing is just eternal separation from God.
	But it's actually not that you earned it.
	You actually chose it.
	And Mike, you keep using the right language.
	You choose it.
	God doesn't send anybody to hell.
	You choose it.
	God doesn't.
	Demand anybody come to be with him for all of eternity in his presence.
	You get to choose his presence or reject his presence.
	It's a very definitive, willful, deliberate choice.
	Why?
	So that no man could ever say that God wasn't just.
	Again, coming back to the foundations of his throne.
	Nobody can say he wasn't just and he wasn't righteous.
	Nobody could ever hurl that in his face.
	It says that he's patient with all of humanity, not wanting anyone to perish, but to have everlasting life.
	He doesn't want one single person to be eternally separated from him.
	Right.
	And hell and all the different layers of hell.
	Right.
	Not a one.
	But he goes, the reason why people go, why does God allow bad things to happen to good people or whatever?
	Why is there evil in the world?
	I'm like, the evil exists because it's actually God's love and his mercy that he's given as much space as possible for as many who would choose to receive his son, Jesus, and have eternal life.
	Yes.
	As many.
	And you go, why is the wickedness so bad?
	It's like, so you have time.
	Because if I would have died before I was 25, I'd be eternally separated from God.
	Praise God that he was patient.
	As much wickedness is going on in the world, he was patient for my sake.
	And he's being patient for your sake because it's actually God's heart that nobody, nobody should be separated from him, but he lets you choose.
	That's the majesty of God.
	Like he gives you free will to absolutely choose whether you want him or you don't want him.
	Let me ask you now this multicultural question that, that this gets me a lot of pushback from some Christians.
	But the more open-minded Christians are fine with this discussion.
	I know you're a very open-minded person, but I'm curious what you think about this, which is that I've heard a lot of Christians say today, they've told me directly, like, Jesus Christ is the only pathway to salvation, and anybody on earth who does not praise Jesus by name will go to hell.
	And my reaction is, well, that can't be, because number one, all the Jews don't praise Jesus, and surely all the Jews aren't going to hell.
	I mean, there are a lot of really holy, nice, nice is the wrong word, holy, God-loving Jewish people who have clearly earned their place alongside God.
	But also, there are really wonderful holy Buddhist people.
	So now we're getting into, this is a multicultural, multi-denominational question for you, Jamie.
	Do you believe that there are multiple pathways to salvation and recognition of God And if not, what is the pathway for all the Hindus in India who don't know of Jesus?
	Or even throughout history when they were the Mesoamericans, the Native Americans, they didn't know about Jesus.
	They didn't live in the Middle East.
	How did they go to heaven?
	Right?
	So how do you handle these kinds of questions?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	I'll say, again, I'll say it's a simple answer, not easy.
	The simple answer is, there is only one name under heaven by which you must be saved, and it's the name of Jesus Christ.
	Period.
	There just isn't, there's no other means by which to have eternal life.
	And it is in Christ alone.
	But can that name be stated in different languages?
	Yes, it can be stated.
	And so when I say the name of Jesus, you know, obviously in Aramaic and Arabic, it's Isa, right?
	In Hebrew, it's Yeshua Hamashiach or whatever.
	But it's speaking to Jesus the Christ, right?
	Jesus, the singularity of Christ.
	It is the only name under heaven by which you must be saved, as the scriptures say.
	But now let me add this caveat.
	Romans 1 says, unequivocally, that God's immutable characteristics have been made known through creation so that no man is without an excuse.
	So, a little mental gymnastics.
	We'll say a remote area of Amazonian jungle where nobody's ever heard the name of Jesus, nobody's heard the gospel, they have no clue what's a Jew, what's a Gentile, what's a whatever.
	Okay.
	Okay, absolutely.
	Well, God has said, because he's just, remember?
	He's just.
	Again, coming back to the foundations of his throne, righteousness and justice.
	He says that, that being the case, he actually has made his immutable qualities on display through creation so that nobody could say they didn't know who God was.
	Which is interesting, even coming at it from a secular humanist perspective, which, you know, getting a degree in history, I kind of had a focus on anthropology.
	And in particular cultural anthropology and what was interesting learning that through just straight secular humanistic academia worldview was that all of humanity on the face of the earth since the beginning of time from cultural anthropology says that there is a set standard of taboos that somehow in some way all of human collective consciousness is in agreement upon and they can't figure out how or why.
	They say it like murder, adultery.
	It's a natural law.
	It's what God said in Romans 1. That he has put it On every man's heart, he's put it in creation.
	So let's say you've never heard the name of Jesus.
	You would know the immutable attributes of God, and you would still come into submission to him and worship him and glorify him as God, as the singular God.
	He's good.
	He's just.
	He's right.
	He's orderly.
	He's love.
	He's whatever.
	All these amazing attributes of God.
	And it says specifically so that no man could have an excuse.
	Again, Because he's just.
	So now what would I say about the Hindus and the Buddhists and the Shintaoism and the New Agers and the Maya tree and the guy I worship and everything in between?
	What would I say about them?
	Well, they all had the gospel brought to them and they all rejected it.
	Again, it's so that no man is without an excuse.
	I believe it was Philip planted the churches in India, and all the modern churches are in the Levant, currently as a Levant in what is now Islamic territory, for lack of a better word.
	And the gospel was taken to literally every square inch of the earth, including down into all Central and South America and the majority of the areas across the dark continent.
	You know, Africa is historically referred to as a dark continent, right?
	It was taken through Europe.
	And look at what's happened now.
	So the same cycle that's happened in these other demographics, right, is happening right now in the West.
	So the Roman centurions You know, although there's some things that are...
	Not good about it, but they actually Christianized, like, say, the British Isles with the Druidic worship, the Celtic worship, their high-level human sacrifice, the tribes of Germania and the Goths and the Visigoths, and down into even North Africa and what was going on there, and they were Christianized.
	But what you see now, same thing in the West, in America in particular, and especially the British Isles, is a complete rejection of the gospel after having received it.
	So, it's not that they don't know.
	It's not that they're ignorant.
	It's not that God would be unjust.
	And in fact, it says that everybody knows and no man will be without an excuse.
	And he's made sure to even testify to it in the cosmos and the stars and the heavenly bodies and the times and the seasons and the human heart.
	He's like, I've done it so unequivocally that even when you started mixing up who I am, the Jews, And started misrepresenting who I am.
	He's like, then I'll send my son in my very image so that you'll see and know exactly who we are and what we represent and what we're all about and what they do to Jesus.
	They kill me.
	So they killed him as soon as he showed up and said, this is what the kingdom was always supposed to be about.
	The Jews killed him.
	Okay, but let me ask for some more clarification, though, because I want to challenge your consistency on this in the same way I would challenge myself on this.
	And I've been going through this in my own head, too.
	But you're saying that civilizations that existed on earth in the time of Jesus, who had no contact with Jesus, no contact with any of the teachers of the gospel, they could still be saved by being holy people and recognizing God as their creator they could still be saved by being holy people and recognizing God as their creator and living That could have been Amazonian tribes, could have been Mesoamericans, it could have been ancient Chinese, ancient Indians, what have you.
	But that after the invention of the internet, when they all had access to the gospel, if they then rejected it, they would go to hell?
	No.
	What I'm saying is, irregardless, no man will have an excuse.
	You know a good example of that, Mike?
	Actually, exactly what you're talking about is Abraham.
	He was of Ur, of Chaldea, in the Chaldeans.
	So the Chaldeans in the land of Ur, which I've actually been to the land of Ur, is, you know, at the heart of what we consider Mesopotamia.
	But it's also at the heart of all things antediluvian.
	Right.
	This is Genesis six crazy stuff.
	Yeah.
	You know, and and yet Abraham completely immersed in that reality.
	That's what he was trained in.
	Everything in his culture would have been fixated on that.
	Yet Abraham somehow on his own with no outside influence.
	Moses knew and understood and humbled himself before the one true holy God and creator of all the universe and then by faith followed him wherever he led.
	Kind of the same thing with Moses, right?
	Moses was He was second in command of Egypt.
	He was a high level, highly trained Egyptological high priest, as well as a military commander and all the other.
	He was deified.
	He was actually considered a descendant of the fallen ones, of the fallen angels in what would have been ancient Egyptological pantheon of gods.
	And he was deified as a god.
	He actually had very little understanding of his Hebraic origins when you when you study and read Joseph or Joseph Moses and yet Moses by The immutable attributes of God revealed in creation around him chose God as a one true God, no matter what his culture was informing him of.
	You know, no matter what his upbringing was informing him of.
	And again, so it goes back to that choice, right?
	We get to choose.
	So it doesn't have to do anything with the advent of the internet, you know, or people hearing what we would say like is a classical, like evangelical, evangelized presentation of the gospel.
	The gospel is written in the hearts of men.
	It just is.
	We know what's kind and what's unkind.
	We know what's serving and selfless and what's selfish and narcissistic.
	We know what's pride and haughty and whatever and then what's humility and contrite and whatever.
	We know that without somebody telling us.
	But what we do is we choose.
	And typically what we always choose is self.
	When left to ourselves, we will always choose self, right?
	So when you think about hell, really, the reality of what hell is, what hell is is everybody choosing themselves every second of every day for all of eternity.
	Whatever is best, like, and it's The fullness of self, which actually the mark of the beast, 666, is actually the fullness and the completion and the full development of man, flesh, carnality, or self.
	That's what 666 is.
	777, God's mark, is the fullness, totality, completion of God and God's righteousness.
	So you're choosing fullness of self or you're choosing fullness of God, even by the mark that you receive, you know?
	That's really interesting, too, because...
	I believe that consciousness and the Spirit is that at the moment of conception, we are infused with a tiny sliver of the Spirit of God, but it's individuated.
	So we become an individual during this life experience.
	But one of the things that it says in Revelation, all things new, new heaven, new earth, is essentially that you join with the river of consciousness from the throne of God.
	You re-merge with...
	Our Creator, who gave us this gift of consciousness and life.
	Thus, the individuation, it vanishes in that place of heaven.
	And that's consistent with what you just said.
	You choose God.
	You choose to become one with God instead of choosing self, which is eternal individuation.
	But that requires transcending from the self, in essence.
	And that's the thing, Mike, is that you can't...
	By the strength of your will, by the strength of your acumen, by the strength of your academia, by the strength of your religious do-gooderism or checkboxiness, you could never do enough to quote unquote, arrive.
	Which is why grace by faith is so profoundly radical.
	It's actually scandalous.
	You know, I use that word like the gospel is scandalous because what it does is it upends every single aspect that we know and understand in our humanistic nature.
	And that's what Christ is constantly speaking to.
	It is an upside-down kingdom.
	The first will be last, and the last will be first.
	The greatest among you will be the least among you.
	He uses the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
	He uses the foolish things of the world to shame the pride.
	Like, everything is upside-down kingdom completely juxtaposed to the kingdoms of this earth and to even the way our humanistic nature wants to operate.
	So that everybody's on an even playing field.
	That's the beauty of the gospel.
	The whosoever's.
	Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord.
	Whosoever repents.
	Whosoever does.
	Whosoever.
	Whosoever.
	It's not the religious elite.
	It's not the academic elite.
	It's not the oligarch elite.
	It's not the particular bloodline elite.
	It's not whether or not you did enough good works to outweigh your bad works.
	There's not a scale.
	There's no scale.
	All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
	But praise be to God for the completed work of Jesus Christ that covers over all that sin.
	So what happens is you magnify Christ in all of it.
	And that's what gets exalted and magnified.
	Nothing else of yourself.
	Christ in you is what gets magnified.
	I love having this discussion with you because it's really so enlightening and I learned so much from you.
	So please forgive me for this question.
	I'm not questioning you.
	I'm just having a dialogue so I can learn.
	But I did a sermon on James chapter 2 which talked about faith without works is dead.
	And I'd like you to just get to that because as I've understood it, both are required in some way, right?
	So our deeds do matter in some way, and our faith matters even more possibly.
	But I feel like somebody who just says, well, I accept Christ as my Savior, but I'm not going to actually do anything in this world to help anybody.
	Like, I'm not going to give food to these people.
	I mean, this was in, I don't know, maybe this was in Acts.
	You prayed for these people that have no clothes and no food, but you didn't give them anything.
	Right?
	So how do you balance this?
	No, I mean, that's a great question, and a lot of people ask that.
	And it's a very definitive biblical truth.
	You say you have faith, well, good.
	Or you say you believe, well, good.
	Even the demons believe, and at least they shudder.
	It's like, literally, like, that's how high level the apostles are mocking those who want to say, who want to rest the Lord, like, well, I believe in God, so I'm good to go.
	He goes, dude, even the demons believe in God, you idiots.
	And at least they tremble in his presence.
	You won't even tremble in his presence, bro.
	You know, and he's like, so listen, if you really believed in Christ, and he is to you who you say he is to you, then you would be compulsed It would be an overflow.
	You would be filled to overflowing with gratitude and thanksgiving at the grace and mercy and the unmerited favor of God in your life that you couldn't help but then just spill on everybody else around you.
	And so your life, your life's testimony, your life's witness, your conduct, your ethos, your everything would give testimony that you actually do believe in Christ.
	So it can't be artificial works.
	Yes.
	And so the works are from an overflow of the heart.
	So as an analogy...
	You know, which I hear these all the time in counseling, right?
	Is, you know, my wife says she loves me, but she's a total Jezebel and makes war with me every day long and tears me down.
	So it's like, I don't care what she says.
	I care what she does.
	I'm watching her behavior and her words do not match what's actually in her heart.
	And that's what God was challenging the Jews in.
	It's like, you say this.
	It says, you praise me with your mouth, but your hearts are far from me.
	Same thing saying you have faith, but there's no fruit in your life.
	When I test the fruit of your life, which we are called to be fruit inspectors, right?
	You will know a tree by its fruit.
	And I look at the fruit of your life and I go, actually, bro, you may want to test yourself to see if you're in the faith even.
	Unless, of course, you're scared you're going to fail the test.
	Because nothing of your life is reflected, like, dude, you're a horrible spouse, you're selfish, you're narcissistic, or you're filled with fear and anxiety, you got non-stop insecurities, blah, blah, blah.
	There's a lot testifying that you say you believe in the Lord, but by your testimony of your life, I would say, I don't think you actually do.
	And again, is that being judgmental or is that being loving?
	Mike, wouldn't you want to know now while there's opportunities to do business with the Holy God who loves you, wouldn't you want to know now like, oh crap, I'm missing the mark.
	I'm totally blowing it.
	Absolutely.
	That's not condemnation.
	That's love.
	This is the gift of time.
	This is a cosmic gift that we have here.
	And it's flittered away in so many ways, like examples that you just mentioned.
	Yes, this is the time to earn your inheritance.
	And like I've said, I don't think that it's actually that...
	even in the eyes of the Lord.
	It's not like you have to be a saint.
	Like you said, Christ died for our sins.
	Christ washed away so much that you don't have to account for.
	On top of that washing away, could you find something to do that's good?
	You know, in the world?
	Like, dude, prove it.
	It's like, put your money where your mouth's at, you know?
	Like I said, like, if I told my wife every day how much I love her and how beautiful she is and whatever, and then I'm a fat, lazy slob that sits around scratching my crotch on the couch all day long watching Netflix, you know, and she'd be like, I actually, your lip service really doesn't have a whole lot of weight with me.
	Like, and so we understand it in the natural.
	Obviously, we can understand that in the supernatural in our relationship with the Lord, you know?
	And, you know, going back to the loving thing of God, what most people don't understand even about the tribulation, the end times, is God is so loving.
	Like, so loving.
	He's literally going to shake not only the earth, but also the heavens and the earth.
	So you cannot say, I didn't know who he was.
	Oh, that's the truth.
	I say the tribulation, yes, it's judgment is coming on the earth, right?
	But what most people don't understand is it's actually the last great act of a loving God to be merciful, to literally up in your whole reality, even rearranging this celestial host and astral catastrophe and all this stuff, so you can't say, I didn't know.
	But you know what's interesting, Mike?
	When you read the book of Revelation, is they do know it's God.
	They know exactly who God is because they shake their fist at the heavens.
	And it says they refuse to repent.
	And they gather in the valley of Megiddo and they lift their weapons skyward.
	So again, they know exactly who he is and exactly what he's doing.
	They just don't love him.
	And that's what it says in 2 Thessalonians 2. They shake their fist because the hail was so great, I think is actually that line, right?
	They blaspheme God because of the hail.
	They don't even realize the significance of the event.
	If every mountain on earth is flattened, okay?
	That's a big event.
	It might get your attention, right?
	And he's getting your attention to say, I am who I said I am.
	So if I am who I said I am about prophecy, if I am who I said I am about justice and judgment, then maybe you could believe that my son is who I said he was.
	And when you place your hope and belief in him, you have eternal life and no fear of death.
	So that's why it says the spirit of Christ is a spirit of prophecy.
	He's trying to, like, anything.
	Anything to get the attention, no matter how wicked they are.
	Mike, do you know that I have fellowship with people that have actively participated in human sacrifice?
	Because they were raised in the occult, high-level, multi-generational occultism.
	And they are more radiant and redeemed and free from guilt and condemnation and shame than anybody I've ever met.
	Because they know the sufficiency of the forgiveness of sins at the highest level in Christ Jesus.
	And that's why it says, he who is forgiven much loves much.
	And they are filled with radiant love.
	Like, the sufficiency of Christ can never be reduced, which is why I hate religion, which is why I hate the Torah observant and the Hebraic roots and the blah, blah, blah.
	And all these yokes are putting slavery on people to take away a childlike faith.
	Mike, you've mentioned it several times how not complex it is.
	It's not complex.
	Why?
	So that nobody can boast.
	In fact, Jesus gave the command, I wish you idiots, I'm paraphrasing, this is probably the message translation.
	I wish you idiots that you would become like a child.
	Like, you have to deprogram your humanistic constructs.
	I want you to be like a child.
	And he said, unless you become like one of these children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
	That's how simple the gospel is.
	See, men want to complicate it so that they can self-justify and they can self-righteous compared to the next guy.
	That's what it's always mean about his pride.
	I think man likes to bureaucratize everything, and they like to put themselves—this is like the high priests of ancient Israel.
	This is why they demanded Christ be murdered, because they wanted to be the controllers.
	They wanted to stand between you and God, so they were the interpreters.
	And they got to sit at the best tables at the feasts, and, oh, sure, a lot of feasts.
	Sure, a lot of suppers, a lot of feasts, a lot of holidays.
	Well, you know, sure is a good position in society to be one of the high priests, but that doesn't have anything to do with redemption.
	That's what we're talking about.
	It's old school pride versus humility.
	And again, talk about simplicity.
	That's the simplicity.
	Pride or humility.
	And why?
	Because of Lucifer.
	Because he was He was perfect in all of his ways until iniquity was found in him, pride.
	He was like, but I could be like God, but I could get a little bit of glory for myself.
	I could get a little bit of worship, but he wasn't contented to rest in the all sufficiency and the power and the wisdom and the majesty and the love and the goodness and the provision of God.
	He wanted to take a little bit for himself so he could be like God.
	So it's just OG pride, right?
	As always the juxtaposition is pride versus humility.
	Next time we talk, Jamie, and I apologize for keeping you over today, but next time we talk, we've got to cover the subject of transhumanism and the worshiping of false gods or false idols.
	In those who think that technology can replace God.
	Oh, absolutely.
	I know you'd love to talk about that.
	Yeah, that'd be a great topic.
	Okay, so next time?
	Can we do that next time?
	Yeah, man.
	Yeah, that'd be a fun one.
	That's good to break into all that stuff.
	Definitely.
	Sounds awesome.
	All right, Jamie, your website is omegadynamics.org.
	And also, you've got a really popular book.
	You want to plug the book, too?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, people can find the book.
	It's called Omega Dynamics, Equipping a Warrior Class of Christians for the Days Ahead.
	So, you know, I wrote that.
	Steve Quill wrote the foreword to it and kind of helped me get that off the ground and wrote it four or five years ago now.
	And so it's no longer equipping a warrior class of Christians for the days ahead.
	It's equipping a warrior class of Christians for the days that are upon us.
	So, yeah, that's Omega.
	And they can find that on Amazon.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Fantastic.
	Omega Dynamics is the name of the book and the name of the website, but.org.
	Well, Jamie, thank you so much.
	God bless you.
	I mean, thank you for being willing to entertain my abrupt questions.
	I hope you don't mind.
	And thank you for all that you do.
	Thank you for what you've taught me over the years as well.
	And thank you for your courage and your spirit.
	And I look to you as someone who is what I think modern-day Christianity really should be.
	So thank you for all that you're doing.
	I appreciate you so much.
	Yeah, thanks for having me on, Mike.
	I truly appreciate it.
	It's always a pleasure.
	We'll have you back and have a great rest of your day and keep on helping people in every way that you do.
	And we'll get this out and hopefully we'll reach some more people as well.
	So thank you so much, Jamie.
	It's a pleasure.
	Yeah, thanks for having me on, Mike.
	All right, you too.
	Take care now.
	All right, folks, that was Jamie Walden.
	What an amazing American, what an amazing human being, what an amazing Christian, just such a great spiritual leader for our time.
