2:04 Welcome to another Fireside Chat on Strange Normal. We're going to be talking about some interesting things tonight. And we're beginning off with a question. Is this the end? Well, I have got news for you. It is. We have reached the end of the world. And I'm going to prove that tonight. But before we get started, we have a lot going on. And I'm ashamed that I missed the live stream this Sunday because we had so much going on here. That we just couldn't get to it. In fact, you can still see my hands are painted. I've been painting a house. I've been doing a bunch of errands. But it's been a lot, a lot, a lot of work. But I owe you guys a show. And I think we've got a lot to talk about since we've had many, many events that have been happening right now. And so I thought, you know, let's put together. I have a whole show created for Sunday night, this next Sunday.
2:57 And it's going to be a really good one. We're going to talk about some really interesting things. So don't miss that. And if you're just seeing this, make sure you hit that subscribe button because you're going to get a lot of good stuff. You're not going to want to miss it. Oh, and the bell icon because that will notify you when things like this happen. So let's talk a little bit about current events that have been happening right now. We have Iran attacking Israel. We have port workers in the U.S. on strike. I mean, that's a big deal. In fact, I went down to the store today and all the toilet paper is gone again. The eggs are gone. The flour is gone on the shelves. The stores are being ransacked. Right? Right now. Like it's the Fauci-ouchie time again. And I'm not even sure why. I got a yellow band up there. It says buffering issues. If anybody having any trouble, let me know. I thought they were trying to tell me I can't say certain words on here.
3:50 There are words I can't say. And that's going to be more relevant next episode because we're going to talk about giant things that potentially could come from Russia or China and cause major harm to our cities. That's going to be a big episode. We're going to talk a little bit about that. It's a little bit depressing, but I think it's important that we examine that. It has a lot to do with this thing. If anybody knows what this thing is, you're going to screenshot this and blow it up and try to figure it out. But you can probably figure it out just by looking at it closely. Anyways, that's not this episode. Tonight, we're going to look at Iran attack, port worker strike, the Helena major storm that came through. This is biblical proportions. And that's what they're saying on the news right now. They're saying that something major is happening with natural disasters.
4:42 Imagine that, because we know that's going to happen here, and it has been happening, but to a greater extent, it's happening right now. And, you know, it might just be a short show, but we're going to talk a little bit about that and look into the Bible and see exactly what's happening here because there's some misunderstandings that are happening within even Christianity itself and the whole world. About these events that are happening right now. I mean, I have so much content that I could have pushed out that I want to make sure that I had enough for this next show, but I ended up having too much. And so let's talk about some of these events first before we get into this next weekend. Iran! Iran attack on Israel? Did you guys see this? I'm watching the chat here. Hello, strangers. This has been monumental. It's very interesting. It's very interesting to see what's happening, but I want to push back on the hype because we know this stuff is coming.
5:41 So I don't know why so many Christians are so amazed by this. They have been at war forever, but they're using bigger and bigger— I'm trying to find the word I can say without being demonetized here— bigger and bigger things that cause devastation. So I think let's just watch what's going on. Watch this. It was a very scary moment indeed, and we're getting our first look, Anderson, right now at some of the damage. Video posted on social media shows an object crashing down just north of Tel Aviv. Another video shows the aftermath inside a restaurant in the area. You can see broken glass and scattered debris. Iran says this attack was in response for the killing of the Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and other assassinations. The Israeli military is vowing that Iran's attack will have consequences.
6:40 Their words, will have consequences. So the reason why I'm bringing this up right now, and I'm going to bring it right back to myself, is because a lot of Christianity, and you might hold this view, and I don't fault you for it, this is an interesting research group, that's what we call this, Strange Normal Research Group, SNRG. That's what we've labeled our Discord group. And I think what's interesting about this is that there's a lot of research from the Christendom, out there, that believes that, I'm trying to be unbiased about this, but I clearly have a bias about this, but the Christendom says that God needs Israel to be back in their land in order for him to complete the prophecies and come. This is called, I think this is called, Christian Zionism. I could be wrong by that, but I went ahead and looked up that on ChatGPT because I wanted to understand it a little bit better, and I know ChatGPT, it's an AI, you never know if it's right or wrong, but I went ahead and looked it up anyway, just to kind of show what is happening.
7:48 And I'll pull it over so you can actually see me while I'm talking about this. But ChatGPT says, Christian Zionists often use several biblical verses, primarily from the Old Testament, to support their belief that the establishment of the State of Israel is fulfillment of Bible prophecy, Here are some key verses they commonly refer to, and this is not my belief. And so this is, I'm trying to understand where they're coming from better. Genesis 12, 3. God's promise to Abraham. Yeah, I believe that. Okay. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you, I will curse. And all people on earth will be blessed through you. That's him talking to Israel, or actually Abraham, who becomes the... people of Israel. And Christian Zionists interpret this as an ongoing promise, seeing to support for Israel as a way to receive God's blessing.
8:50 Yeah, I believe that God blessed this group of people. Absolutely. Genesis 15, 8. The covenant with Abraham and the land. To your descendants, I give this land from Wadi of Egypt to the great river of Euphrates. This verse is seen, to promise that the land of Israel to Abraham's descendants often interpreted to modern Jewish people. Ah. Okay, yeah. I mean, there's no argument against that. They definitely gave the... God gave them a piece of land. I don't exactly know which one it was, but it looks to me that that was it, according to Genesis 15. No problem with that. Okay, let's get into this a little further. Prophecy from a nation born... in a day.
9:40 And I'm just now reading through this, so this is not hashed out. This was not the show plan for tonight, and so this is kind of thrown together. If I get something wrong here, hey, call me out. I want to hear it in the comments. I want to hear what you think about this, because I'm understanding this as you are, too. Israel... Isaiah 66, 8. This is what Christian Zionists believe. Prophecy of a nation born in a day. Who has... This is Isaiah 66, 8. Who has ever heard of such thing? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day, or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Christian Zionists connect this verse to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Okay. Let's read on.
10:34 Ezekiel 36, 24. God will gather Israel from the nations. For I will take you out... of the nations. I will gather you from all countries and bring you back into your land. Here's where things are changing for me. Christian Zionists say this is seen as a prophecy about the return of the Jewish people to Israel, which Christian Zionists believe has been fulfilled in modern times. Amos 9, 14, and 15. We're just going to get through these verses real quick, man, there's a lot of them. You know, actually, let's not read through all of them. I'll put them up on the screen so you can look them up yourself if you want to screen cap that and look at it. But here's where it gets down to the nitty gritty for me. The nation of Israel, and it's seen as a prophetic thing that they will not be destroyed, and they can't be destroyed because they are God's chosen people.
11:41 And so it's a big deal, and it's all over the news when something like this happens because you realize, and people are starting to realize that, oh, wait a second, they are being hit. They're surrounded by enemies. And so I think it's dangerous. It's dangerous to put all our faith in here. What if someday something bad happens to Israel? What happens then? Is a lot of these Christian Zionists, do they lose faith in the Scriptures? I think we need to look at this. I think we need to look at this from a different perspective. I'm gonna pull up some verses here that I believe connect very well to Israel. If you go to, do you remember, I'm gonna try to make this as big as possible because I have people that are complaining that my verses are too small.
12:32 Do you remember Peter's vision? Peter had a vision where a lot of snakes and all kinds of stuff was coming down, and God told him, hey, take and eat. Don't say you won't eat what I've blessed. A lot of Christians, surprisingly, it looks like they don't read on to the next couple of verses, surprisingly take that and go, hey, look, that means I can eat anything, and that might be your interpretation of this. It's not correct, and I'm gonna say that 100%. 100% not correct, and the reason I know that is because Peter interprets it later on. And so, this is, you know, and so this all connects to Israel. I'm bringing it right back, but watch what happens here. About noon the following day, let me switch back to screen cap here.
13:21 About noon the following day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, now this is the full story, Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened, something like a large sheet being let down on the earth by four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals as well as reptiles and birds, and then a voice told him, get up, Peter, kill and eat. Verse 14, surely not, Lord, Peter replied. I have never eaten anything impure or unclean. Now remember, this is the New Testament, and a lot of people say, well, you know, all in the New Testament, everything changed. Not much changed in the New Testament. They're still looking at the old way of doing things because that's God's way. The only thing that changed, according to Ephesians 2.15, if my memory serves me correctly, was some commands contained in ordinances, which are ordinance commands.
14:22 That's what changed. So, like, the killing of sheep, you know, the whole temple ceremony stuff, the feast, that all changed. It all went away. Those are ordinances. So he said, surely not, I have not eaten anything impure or unclean in the New Testament. So, in other words, Christians in the New Testament, by definition, Christians in the New Testament, don't eat things that are unclean, just like the Jewish, just like the Israelites, just like all of God's people, because God told them, don't eat anything unclean. Interesting. The voice spoke to him again and said, but don't call anything impure that God has made clean. Well, there you go. You can eat anything then. No, that's not true. So, he said, three times, and immediately the sheep was taken back up to heaven.
15:13 While Peter—see, Peter didn't understand this whole thing. He said, while Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, then he had someone knock on the door, and someone came to the door that wasn't a Jew. And so we're going to skip a bunch of stuff here, because, for lack of time, go down to 27 and 28, he says, while talking with him, Peter went outside to find a large gathering of people. He said to them, they are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. So, what in the world is happening here? Verse 29, So, when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent me? So, what's happening here? Well, he says, God showed me.
16:06 Well, he at first didn't understand what he was being shown, but he just said, oh, God showed me that I'm not to keep the gospel from these people. I'm not to do anything—I'm not to— In other words, Israel is not just the people that can be saved. It's not just God's chosen people. We—in fact, this was God's plan the whole time. It wasn't just for Israel to be the chosen nation, you have to be Israel. They were planning to be a priest of nations, that's what the Bible says, to go out to all the world and bring them in to God's way, thus making everybody, basically, Israel. And that was God's people, but they got kind of lazy and they didn't do that. They should have. And so, is there any more proof about this that actually everybody, everyone that wants to be Christian, everyone that wants to be part of Israel can be Israel?
17:03 I think it's all throughout the New Testament. Jesus speaks of being the vine and us being the branches. I am the vine, you are the branches. Yeah, I just had to think about that one for a second. And that way, you are grafted in to him. And so you, if you believe in him, you are saved. You don't have to be of Jewish heritage, which the people said, well, I have Abraham as my father. That's not how this works anymore. That's never how this was supposed to work. So, let me bring up a couple more verses to kind of pin this down a little bit. And by the way, if you want to look up and understand this belief a little bit better, this is called, before the belief was Christian Zionism, this is called spiritual Israel.
17:57 This is the teaching called spiritual Israel, which I believe is a principle Christian teaching, that says, you know, we all need to reach out to our neighbors, to our friends, and tell them and graft them in to our belief system. Because this is the only one that saves them from the disasters that are coming. So, let's look further. That was Peter's thing. Galatians 3.20, Peter says to his non-Jew converts, And if ye be Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. In other words, you believe in Christ, you are saved. I don't care if you're Gentile or Jew. You're all saved if you believe in Christ. Acts, let's go to Acts 10, save some time. Acts 10.
18:55 Well, that was Acts 10. We already did Acts 10. We're going through his vision. And let's go to 1 Peter 2.9. So, this is interesting. It says, to Israel, in Exodus 19.6, it says, And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. That's what the promise was. And so, Christian Zionism says that, well, look, Israel is a protected nation. You're putting, if you believe that, you're putting yourself back into the shoes of the Jews that believe that they have Abraham as their father so they can't be destroyed.
19:46 When as Christianity says that it's actually a nation that was to be priests to go preach to them, which is what 1 Peter 2.9 says, because he said to the Gentiles, he said, But ye are chosen Gentiles. A royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people. So, he's not talking to Jews here. He's talking to all the people and the Gentiles and the Jews saying, this is much bigger than one nation. We're going out to everybody. Let me make sure I'm not saying something completely heretical because I think I have that straight. But it looks like the chat agrees with me so far. So, I'm not seeing too many rebels out there.
20:35 But this is what's amazing to me about the Iran attack and Israel. I'm not calling anybody out, but I do have Christian friends that are pretty amazed by this. And I think it's just about our progress going into prophecy and how things are getting worse and worse. They might not be Christian Zionists, but I scratched my head when I got messages and stuff saying, why in the world? Are we concerned about this? This has been happening for a long time. Well, it's because it's a big deal. It hasn't happened yet that this small nation has been destroyed. And maybe God will save this small nation. I'm hoping they will. Because they, man, I don't think I would live there if being surrounded by enemies that want to hurt me.
21:28 Anyways, that's what's happening in the... The land of Israel right now. We're watching that very carefully because I think it's still interesting. And it's still a part of something to watch very closely. So, what else is happening? Well, we have a strike going on also in the US. And this is a big deal because it's clearing the shelves of a lot of our products. Remember that whole scare about toilet paper? Well, it's happening again. You better get down to the store. No, no, no. Don't do that. It's going to be fine. I already got my toilet paper, so I'm okay. No, actually, the only reason I know that is because my wife and I went shopping today.
22:19 And we got our normal stuff from the convenience stores. We shop like maybe twice a week, maybe once a month. I mean, it's just two of us. So, we went and got our supplies. And my wife is sending me pictures back. She's like, hey, everything's gone. Why are the eggs gone? Why is the flour gone? Why is all the water gone? Why is all this? And she's going through this. I said, you know what? Someone just texted me earlier today and they said that I should stock up on some of this stuff because everything is going haywire. They sent me this from AP News. Dock workers at port of Maine to Texas go on strike. They stand off risking their lives. Risking new shortages. And I thought, okay. I just can't imagine that's how this happens.
23:09 And don't get me wrong. I believe that there is going to be a time that's going to be very, very dangerous, very, very short. It's part of Christian prophecy. It's part of Bible prophecy. It's going to be very difficult for people someday. And you might think, you know, people talking about this stuff might be, you know, it's going to be hard. People talking about this stuff might be a bigger deal than the actual it is. Well, it's been said that the actual event that's going to happen is going to be a bigger deal than even we understand and can imagine. And so it's a big deal. And so I was thinking about this for a second. And I read the article. And not only are they having trouble with the products and the shelves, but now the unions are getting involved. Well, my brain started turning here.
24:00 And I started thinking, okay. So to me, the bigger story is how big the unions are going to become on this thing. And here's why. I remember reading some of the last interesting prophecies from the only prophet that talks about this whole UFO thing, Ellen G. White. And this is one of the things that she says about unions. So this is interesting to me. She said, she talked about giant monopolies at the end. The work of the people of God is to prepare for an event of the future. Well, that's a statement, isn't it? The work of the people of God is to prepare for the events of the future. Something big is coming that Christians should prepare, which will soon come upon them with a blinding force. Let's talk about that just for a second. There is something big coming.
24:53 And I do believe that. In fact, I believe that. I believe that this whole doomsday prepper thing that happened years and years, a decade probably or so ago. It's been a TV show and it's still probably going. I don't know. But it's kind of made fun of the whole idea. But I think Christians understand there's going to be a time coming when you can't buy or sell. There's going to be a time coming when you are hated among nations. There's going to be a time coming when there's a new spiritualism that's happening and that we need to be prepared for. Now, there's a group of us that say, hey, you know what? Don't worry about it. And we shouldn't worry about it. God will provide. I do believe that. But I also think that God says prepare. God told Noah that he will provide if he does some work on the ark. Make sure I got that right.
25:40 Noah built the ark. Yes, he did. Got that wrong in another video and, man, I couldn't take it back. So Noah built the ark. He still spent a hundred years on it. I'm not saying we should spend a hundred years on it. But it's probably pretty good. But it's probably a pretty good idea to have a little bit of water on hand. Probably a good idea to have a little bit of an idea of moving out to a bigger place that has a place where you can provide for yourself. Because not everyone is going to have the same ideas. And you might need to house some people that just didn't have the same opportunities as you. That's just a fact. This is not about hiding yourself from good Christian people. This is about spreading the gospel. Don't become like the Jews in the past where they thought, I have Abraham as my father.
26:31 I'll just, you know, hide because nobody likes this message. We still have to spread the message. And so the point isn't to go hide yourself. The point is to help other people with what you have and what you have. Because think of the mission that you could set up if you had the ability. You said, hey, I have all this stuff. And they're like, how did you know? How did you know this was going to happen? My God is big and I have all these books. Let me share some of these books with you. Let me show you some of this Bible prophecy that was coming down the line. Think of what the impact you can make by doing this. So if you ever run across someone that says, oh, don't prepare for bad, God will take care of everything. That's a little assumptive. I'm going to let it rest there.
27:19 But let's go back to reading this real quick. Because, in fact, you tell me in the comments how many would be interested in joining a Christian preppers group where your goal isn't to rack up as many pew-pews as possible, but to actually help others and teach people about gardening and stuff like that. I think it would be a wild group, maybe a Facebook group or Discord server. I don't care. I don't know. But it would be neat to have a group of people. And, in fact, this is something, too, I want to go over on the channel. If you know of a Christian prepper seminar that has the same ideals as Christians do, I would like to know that. Email me, bradleyatstrangenormal.org. I want to know more about that because I think that would be something that would be interesting for the channel. And for everyone to talk about. Boy, I'm off on rabbit trails now. You got me talking.
28:26 So let's go back to this real quick and see what she says about this. The work of the people of God is to prepare for the events of the future, which will soon come upon them with blinding force. In the world, gigantic monopolies will be formed. Future tense. Will be formed. I think we see giant monopolies formed right now. Men will bind themselves together in union. That will wrap them in the fold of the enemy. Well, unions could be used just to say they are in groups, not necessarily union workers. Let's read on, though. A few men will combine to grasp all the means to obtain a certain line of business. Trade unions will be formed. Okay, these are the ones we're talking about. Trade unions. Those are the unions that are on strike right now. Will be formed.
29:14 And those who refuse to join these unions will be marked men. The principles. The principles governing the forming of these unions seem innocent. Yes, they do. It sounds like a great idea to allow those workers to have the money that they need to survive, especially with this inflation. When they're, I guess, I don't know much about it, but I guess their wages are set. So, but men have pledged themselves to serve the interests of these unions. Or else they may have to pay the penalty of refusing. With their lives. Wow. That's quite a statement. Things are going to get that bad that these unions are going to have that much oppression over the people. What's interesting about that statement is that if you go into Chris Lang's documentary, which one is it?
30:02 Beware of Angels? I don't remember. Maybe it was the Roger Morneau ones. I think it was. Where his coworker, the guy who's telling Roger Morneau, the former cultist, about Christianity. He said that the... The unions were so oppressive there that he bought a pew-pew. I'm going to use that from now on. He bought this thing thinking that it would solve the problems. And he ended up saying that this didn't solve the problems. But for a moment, it did. And so lots is happening right now. And I think that we need to be very careful about how we use our... Our tools. Our web... Pew-pew. These things.
30:55 All right. So let's get back to the verse here. Or the scripture reading. I mean, not scripture. This is just a quote from White. These unions are one of the signs of the last days. Men are binding up bundles ready to be burned. They may be church members, but while they belong to these unions, they cannot possibly keep the commandments of God. For to belong to these unions means to disregard the entire decalogue. In other words, these unions are going to say, you have to do something against the Bible in order to stay with us. Maybe it's a form of worship. Maybe it's a form of lying. Maybe you have to cheat people out of something. These unions are no good. At least right now they're good, but who knows.
31:43 And she goes in and quotes some... some scripture, specifically Luke and Revelation. You can read that on your own if you want. But then at last she says, The forming of these unions is one of Satan's last efforts. God calls upon his people to get out of the cities, isolating themselves from the world. Well, that's a big statement I think is very interesting too. Isolate yourself from the world. That's the very last where you run to the hills. This is not spreading the gospel. This is where midnight has come. There's going to be time before midnight that we can still spread the gospel, but there's also going to be a time where we cannot. For time, the Bible says time has come. Night is here.
32:30 God's coming will be soon. The time will come when they will have to do this. God will care for those who love him and keep his commandments. God loves everybody. But there is a danger coming, and I think it would be interesting to actually start a group that encourages people to help other people and grow a surplus and teach their neighbors about Christ. Because if you die and your neighbor doesn't even know that you're a Christian, what if you succeeded? We need to be a light on the top of the hill, not under a bushel. Are we even talking about the port workers? Did we even watch that video? I don't even know. Let's watch the video because I think I completely got off on a rabbit trail. Watch this. Dock workers at American ports from New England to Texas are on strike. Members of the International Longshoremen's Association are picketing 14 major ports in the U.S. East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, too.
33:36 Last-minute efforts to reach an agreement with ship operators and port authorities came to nothing. The employers have offered a contract that would raise wages by 50% over the next six years. The union says that's unacceptable. It's the first strike at the East Coast ports since 1977. Vanessa Yurkovich is in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and we should clarify exactly how much impact this would have to the U.S. economy and economies in other countries. It's going to have a significant impact. Out here today, we have hundreds of union members who have been out since the very early morning. Behind me, you can come in. Behind me, you can kind of just see the port of New York and New Jersey. It's idle right now because you don't have these dock workers working to load and offload imports and exports that come into this area.
34:29 And as you mentioned, this is going to have a huge economic impact. One estimate puts a one-week strike at over $2 billion. And just into this port alone, imports consist of alcohol, cherries, fruits, furniture, and exports auto parts and other items that our foreign counterparts buy. But that's all at a halt right now because the union, the ILA, and USMX failed to reach a deal yesterday. On the table was an offer from USMX of 50 percent in wage increases over six years, but the union's saying that is not good enough. Also of note, retailers saw this coming, and a lot of them brought in a lot of their holiday products, early because they didn't want a strike to interrupt shipping. So for holiday shoppers out there, you can rest easy that there will be things on the shelves around holiday shopping season.
35:23 Now, the administration, the Biden administration, is really the only power to stop a strike. President Biden could enact something called the Hartley Act and Taft-Hartley Act, and that would essentially end a strike. However, President Biden is saying he's not planning to get involved, despite major business groups like the US Chamber of Commerce calling on him to do so. I briefly spoke with the president of the ILA union moments ago, and he told me that in order to get back to the negotiating table with the shipping alliance, all of his demands need to be met, Max. But as you know, this is a negotiation. It doesn't look like the shippers are going to meet the union exactly where they want to be, but the shippers are saying they want to get back to the table, just not under those circumstances. Max? Vanessa, thank you.
36:16 Fascinating. And they don't just want 50% increase, because that seems like a lot. I think it's 50% or actually they said, I think they said the latest was 66% increase over a span of a decade. I don't remember. I have to look back at the notes. But inflation is going to take a lot of that, because over time things will inflate and they'll probably have the same amount as they did or less. And so I don't envy, I don't envy everyone involved in this right now, because it's a sticky situation. And we need our ports, because a lot of things come over. Can you imagine all those cherries, everything, if you go to the grocery store and you see all these mangoes and all these amazing fruit, that's all going to be sitting on ships until they get those port workers back. Everything's going to be backed up. Remember how it was during that time in 2000s when we all got sick? That was awful, because everything was stuck. Everything was stuck at the ports.
37:16 I forget what it was that I had ordered something from a long ways away. Maybe it was my kitchen cabinets for a renovation or something. But I just thought, man, this is going to take forever. And all that food, I hope it doesn't go bad, because I hope they resolve this fast and it doesn't become a big issue. But I think, and this is me going on record here saying, I think this is less of, of a port strike and worry about whether or not I'm going to get my cereal, and more about the power, growing the power of the unions, because I think that's coming down the line, becoming a bigger, bigger issue, because that's what has happened in the past. That's not the only thing we have to talk about. We also have major new, I almost said a bad word there. New, new, new, new things. Anything that's clear, because I don't want to talk about that right now. We're going to talk about that next episode.
38:15 But I could also look up, see if I can say that word on here without getting demonetized. So, okay. So another thing that I want to talk about is the, the weather that's been going on. There's a lot of weather that's happening right now. And I, I particularly am very, very interested in the weather. I told my wife the other day, I told my wife the other day, I said, man, I'm becoming an old man. I'm watching the weather. I'm concerned about the weather because I'm looking at this stuff and we're, we're building a house. We're, we're, I'm laying down grass. That's how old I am now. I'm concerned about my grass. And we're putting these giant blankets down of, of straw. And last time we had a bad weather, it tore off about 80 feet of my straw.
39:06 I mean, not just straw. These are thick blankets of, of plastic. And I, I mean, it was nailed to the ground with these, these staples. They call them sod staples. Ripped the whole thing up, taken, it was taken away. And so I, I just got the brand new thing down. And then this Hurricane Helene, Helene, is that how you say that? Came through. And I was really concerned. We put a whole 50 box, $50 box of staples down. Anyways, you guys don't care. I survived, but that's only because of prayer. I, I truly believe because as the hurricane came through, since I'm on, since it's going north and it's going counterclockwise, I'm on the side of it that is not turning as much.
39:53 So I'm over here and it's going around this way as it goes up. And fortunately we didn't get a lot of wind, but everything else on that, on that South Carolina side got a lot, a lot of wind. I mean, you, you, you plan for things when you get a beach house, you think I'm going to have to repaint this thing every year or worse, you know, a hurricane might come through and just demolish it. But, but, but if you're on the bottom of the Appalachian mountains up in Tennessee, a state, a whole state away from a hurricane, you don't think, you know, my bungalow up here where I'm, I'm going to get away from it all is going to be hit so bad that it's half under a mudslide. Anyways, this is a Florida man. He's in a hurricane and we expect this from Florida, but I thought it was pretty hilarious. I'm going to show you this and then I'll show you the, the radar and then we'll look at the hurricane in the news real quick. And I'll, I'll tie this back to scripture.
40:52 Watch this. Can I do this? Let's see. But at least I'm not electrocuting myself anymore. We have the, we got the chlorine going, you know, so try to disinfect some of this nastiness. That's good. Florida things, Florida man doing Florida things. By the way, please visit hornblasters.com. I'm located here in Tampa, Florida, bro. Get out. What are you doing? Yeah, I got the chlorine going, so it's good. Um, we don't take anything serious. We're Florida, man. What am I going to do? I'm, I just checked the weather in between my lives and it looks like at 2am, the water might stop. It might start going down. But in the meantime, it's going up the foundation of the house. Like all this water is bubbling underneath the foundation. So that's not good.
41:45 Uh, I think that's like how sinkholes happen. Um, the water is smashing up against the window. When I open it, it gets really choppy in here. Uh, it's still coming in through the garage. I'm getting annihilated by mosquitoes already, but you know, go live on Tik Tok, you know, cause it, oh damn, all right. All right. All right. So, so Florida man is sitting there in a kayak in his house with the lights on. And, um, and he's got the, the, the window, the sliding glass door closed. So, cause he, he says the water, water's too choppy. I tell you, man, Florida's Florida's another animal. So this is the, this is the radar, um, that's happened. Let me see if I can do this. Yeah, let's do this. There we go. This is the radar. And it continued up a state or two after that.
42:38 And it just destroyed everything all the way inland. So I'm going to play that one more time. I think that was interesting. Re-avined. Here we go. All right. Wow. So it got a lot of steam right there because all that water is very warm. And so then it hit Florida really hard and, uh, continued, just continued. It's a state in there already. And it, look, look at that, a red part. I feel like I'm a weatherman. Look at that red part right there. It's, it's really hitting that state over there. Um, Virginia and, and it's just destroying things. And so here's what happened in, in the news in that area. I mean, it just, wow. The jaw dropping images of Helene's aftermath, almost defied description. The devastation is at its peak.
43:26 It's just, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, but the devastation is so widespread. Spanning multiple states in the U S Southeast, leaving misery and ruin effectively everywhere. It's just really horrifying. It was just unrecognizable when we were going around, just looking to see if anybody was okay. I drive those roads all the time and I just couldn't even, I couldn't even picture where we were. It's a total mess. People been swept away. Business had been ruined. Lives have been lost. It's a it's absolutely insane to be honest folks are in shock esther manheimer is the mayor of ashville north carolina a city of 90,000 set in the mountains hit with catastrophic flooding there are neighborhoods where every other house has a tree on it or through it roads blocked power lines looks like you know spaghetti it really feels like You know a post-apocalyptic scene. We know that there are people missing and we know that there's going to be significant fatalities at the end of this indeed hundreds remain unaccounted for Meanwhile some two million people are still without power Food and fresh water is coming from volunteers, but so much more is needed for so many U.S. Presidents and President biden meeting with state officials quickly pledged federal help throughout the region We will be there with you as long as it takes the help already on route lots of it at least 50,000 personnel from 31 states and DC and Canada are responding to power outages throughout the region and working around the clock and though the storm has passed State officials warn in many places the rivers are still rising Paul hunters CBC News, Washington Wow, so lots is happening right now, and I think what's what's the most fascinating to me?
45:42 I mean we've heard this from Matthew 24, right? Matthew 24 talks about There will be wars there will be natural disasters and all this is the beginning of Woes terrible things that are gonna happen But there's there's also this interesting thing from great controversy Page 589 Yeah, I think that is the storm tempest war and bloodshed So what type is that storm and tempest is natural disasters right and you got war and bloodshed which is man-made disasters So in these things storm tempest war bloodshed in these things Satan delights and thus gathers in his harvest and so Completely will men be deceived by him that they will declare these calamities Are because of the commandment keeping people So I think that's really interesting that all this is happening right now because this Sure looks to me like the beginning of something Then she goes on to say this through spiritualism and I believe this channel has the correct understanding of what that spiritualism is because I've never heard anything go into what what spiritualism Oh dead people appearing as as or demons appearing as dead relatives How does that start? Well, we've kind of fleshed that out in this channel and I believe we've by looking at and Analyzing what's happening go watch Starfall Starfall movie.com Look into some of my videos on Bledsoe. That's ridiculous stuff that's happening right now Look up the 20 reasons why UFOs are demonic this this is the this is this type of stuff that you're they're dealing with so this spiritualism through this type of spiritualism Satan appears as a benefactor of the race I'm still reading from Great Connobarcy healing the diseases of the people and Professing to present a new and more Exalted system of religious faith But at the same time he works as the destroyer Work in both sides Good cop bad cop as the temptations are leading up to multitudes to ruin And we can go on and on and read that there's there's lots more to it.

I'm not here to fund your giving them out to other people. I can't do that, but if you've never read this book before and you want one, I can definitely send one to you. I've got a stock of them because I believe this is something that people need to hear about. These are amazing quotes, and this isn't just half of it. The history of what's led up to this stuff is all in that book. It's really incredible stuff. So what do we do now? Because all these things, are happening now, this week, where do we go from here? Well, if I were you, I'd continue my worships.
