2:05 and welcome to another Fireside Chat. We're going to talk about some very interesting stuff tonight, and make sure you stick around. You might be wondering, where in the world are we tonight? Well, we're going to talk more about that in a second, but before we do, let me bring in our guests tonight, one visible and one invisible. How are you doing, Eric and Matthew? Anybody there? Great, good to be back. It's been a while. Yeah, yeah, very good. Matthew, are you there too? Yes, I am. I am here. And, yeah, we'll just be, again, enjoying my voice. We'll see when that camera comes around, but it's going to be a little bit of time, maybe another week and a half, two weeks, who knows. But I'm sure we'll all be able to get used to this arrangement. Very good, very good. And, Eric, you've been away for a little while.
2:55 I'm glad to see you back. Where have you been? What's been going on? Yeah, I've been in class. So my evenings are... And Sundays, pretty much taken up by... If I'm not working, I'm doing coursework, so... Very good, very, very good. It's always good to... I'm an old man now, so I go to bed at, like, 9 o'clock or 8 o'clock at night, so... Hey! You guys do this room too late for me. I, yeah, well, it's fortunate that we are... I still get about seven hours of sleep, but I'm fortunate to have... Anyway, nobody cares about this. Let's get into the show. My sleep schedule, who cares? We've been doing a lot... You don't sleep, I thought. I don't sleep. No, I don't sleep at all. What are you talking about? No way. Brad is like, yeah, the Energizer bunny. There really is no stopping this guy.
3:43 I got a text from him at 2 o'clock in the morning. I'm like, wake up the next day, I'm like, what is this guy doing? I stopped talking to him at 12. He's like, yeah... He doesn't get to sleep either, so... Yeah, I'm up for entirely different reasons. Well, yeah, a lot's going on in my life, and working different things, doing different things, and right now we are in a different place. I kind of want to show... We're doing this in a different area, because I'm in a different place, different studio altogether, and we've moved the whole set across town. So this is still part of my house, but we are going to have a different way to do this now, so we can present and show you things better as the night rolls on, and as different shows happen. So I want to continue to bring you the best possible and good news. And in the next couple episodes or so, we will be streaming to all platforms. Facebook, Twitter, who knows what else. And it's going to be really good, because we're also coming out with a bunch of shorts.
4:47 And the shorts are going to be there to grab people, if you're familiar with marketing terminology, from the top of the funnel, which means it's not going to be always specifically religious. It's going to be a lot of conspiracy and stuff like that to bring people in. Because that's primarily the goal here, is to bring people in from the top of the funnel and show them the truth. So strap in. We're going to have some wild times, and I think we have a wild show tonight as well, Matthew. You've been putting the show together. I'm really excited to see what you found so far. Yeah, I put this show together, and it was kind of all based around this Bible that Donald Trump has kind of aimed to. And it's currently on sale for $60. If anybody's interested, you can buy one.
5:40 A Trump Bible? Well, it's not the Trump Bible. It's the God Bless America Bible. And he's partnered with a country music singer. And it's, well, why don't we just watch this first clip? Because Trump himself is going to introduce us to this Bible and tell us the great things about it. And maybe pique your interest. I don't know if I, I'm scared. Let's find out what's going to happen next. I'm proud to be partnering with my very good friend, Lee Greenwood. Who doesn't love his song, God Bless the USA, in connection with promoting the God Bless the USA Bible. This Bible is the King James Version and also includes our founding father documents. Yes, the Constitution, which I'm fighting for every single day very hard to keep it up.
6:33 To keep Americans protected. Also, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance are all part of this God Bless the USA Bible. And it's just very important and very important to me. I want to have a lot of people have it. You have to have it for your heart, for your soul. Many of you have never read them and don't know the liberties and rights you have as Americans and how you are being threatened to lose those rights. It's happening all the time. It's a very sad thing. That's going on. It's going on in our country, but we're going to get it turned around. Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country. And I truly believe that we need to bring them back and we have to bring them back fast. I think it's one of the biggest problems we have. That's why our country is going haywire. We've lost religion in our country. All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many.
7:26 It's my favorite book. It's a lot of people's favorite book. This Bible is a reminder that the biggest thing we have to bring back to our country is God. We have to bring back America and to make America great again is our religion. Religion is so important, it's so missing, but it's going to come back and it's going to come back strong, just like our country is going to come back strong. In the end, we do not answer to bureaucrats in Washington, we answer to God in heaven. Christians are under siege. We must protect content that is pro-God. We love God and we have to protect anything that is pro-God. We must defend God in the public square and not allow the media or the left-wing groups to silence, censor, or discriminate against us. We have to bring Christianity back into our lives and back into what will be again a great nation. Our founding fathers did a tremendous thing when they built America on Judeo-Christian values. Now that foundation is under attack, perhaps as never before. What can we do? Stand up, speak out, and pray that God will bless America again.
8:36 I'm proud to endorse and encourage you to get this Bible. We must make America pray again. Pray, get educated, get motivated, and stand with me and the legions of Americans asking God to bless our great nation, to bring our great nation back, and to make America great again. There you have it. Let's make America pray. Let's make America pray again. God bless you, and God bless the USA. Wow. There we have it. I can see the pendulum swinging. Because didn't Obama say at one time, this is not just a Christian nation, but, and he named several religions, and now Trump. Wow, wow, that's something. That's interesting. Well, Obama, during his term, he did more than just say that it's not a Christian nation, that the United States is not a Christian nation. Forgive me if I say we at all. I'm trying to move away from that. It's an ingrained part of my programming to identify collectively with the country, but the truth is, I need to, and this is a personal conviction of mine, I need to refer to the United States as the entity that it is, and myself as who I am. I need to refer to the United States as the entity that it is, and myself as who I am. I can't say, we, oh, when we dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, I had nothing to do with that. Zero. Zero input as to that happening. The United States government at that time did this with the leadership that was there. So, what happened with Obama was, he was famously quoted talking about evangelicals and fundamentalists saying that they cling to their guns and they cling to their Bibles and they can't be reasoned with. He had a lot of disdain, really, for Christians, specifically Christian fundamentalists, people who take the word of God and they say, this is how I'm going to look at the world. I'm going to use this as my basis for truth. So, to see Trump come out and to make these bold, strong statements pro-Christianity, telling people that they need this Bible, it's going to be good for their soul to have this Bible, it is. It is a massive swing of the pendulum.
11:07 And we're just at the start. I mean, we're at the start of the swing. We're picking up momentum. We're not even as far, to speak in political terms, right. Things are swinging back to the right. And so, this is just the prelude to, and as it picks up momentum, if this is where we're at now, we can expect things to get more intense in the future in many ways. Yeah, there's a lot to be said about this clip, so I don't want to, maybe you've got a point you want to share, Brad or Matt, so. I'm still chewing on it. I think it's fascinating that Trump's really pushing this idea, and I get where he's coming from. And half of me goes, this is half of me, half of me is like, well, great. I love it that people are pushing the Bible. I think that we need to read the Bible more. I'm thrilled about that. Another half is going, don't go too far. Don't combine these two things together too closely. Yeah. I don't want to give the government religious teeth to do anything religiously, because that's always, always ended in bad, bad, bad stuff. Bad, bad, bad. And so, I'm looking at this, and I'm seeing how it was in one political era, and how Trump has been accused of not being very religious, and I'm seeing that it's being used to press him to be more overtly religious.
12:33 Which is going to make him want to make the Christian nation very happy. And I say Christian nation, not because I think it's primarily Christian, which it is. I think it's just because the, that's what has been said by Trump himself, so. Yeah. Well, I think. Go ahead, Matt. I was just going to say, there's a slide that, if you can pull up this next slide that I have. There's a still from that video we watched. Mm-hmm. And I'm just going to talk about this quote real quick, and then pass it to you, Eric. Which one? The next one? Just number two. Number two. Yeah. So, he said that religion is so important, it's so missing, but it's going to come back, and it's going to come back strong, just like our country is going to come back strong.
13:27 I felt that this was almost like a prophetic word being spoken by Trump. He's saying. He's saying that it's coming back strong, just like our country. It's tied together already, a lot of ways. We're going to look at that a little more closely tonight. We're going to specifically look at Project 2025 very soon. But Donald Trump is going to be very intimately tied with Project 2025. And I'm excited to present some of that material to make that connection. For you guys, and for the audience. Eric, what were you going to say? Well, a couple of things. He uses the word religion, and then Christianity sometimes, and I think that's an important distinction, because you can say, and this is the thing, and this is one of the topics we discuss, I know, on the Discord and some shows, but this is a topic for a whole other show, is the followers of Satan use a, they refer to God also, so it's really different.
14:33 And religion could be a lot of things. You mentioned Matt Obama said, oh, there's this religion, there's that religion. And so when somebody is speaking of religion or God, it's important to know who they're actually referring to. We got some verses that we're going to wrap up the show with. I don't want to give anything too much away, but that discuss, it's kind of like the capstone for the show. But related to this, I noticed he said that the founding documents of the United States are in the back of the Bible, which is really important. As you and I have delved into, Matt, and you mentioned Brad, that this is allegedly a Christian nation, and yet all of the founding fathers, except, I think, with the exception of maybe John Adams, was not a Freemason. They were deists. They were part of this occult organization.
15:24 And again, I don't want to give too much away in the verses that we've got lined up at the end, but it's, Satan takes an active role in the government's. He is, you know, he's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. He's a leader. you know the powers and principalities and ephesians that were taught that we're wrestling against those are controlling um nations you know daniel for example in daniel's talk the angel that went to speak to daniel said hey i had a run-in with the prince of persia and he delayed me i don't think that was that wasn't a human prince that was the demon that was had jurisdiction over persia at that time so you don't think satan gamed out where the constitution would inevitably take a nation he has been involved in degenerating civilization since civilization has been around he knows how to destabilize groups of people he knows how to move things incrementally in the direction that he wants them to go and so i have no doubt that most of the people who fought in the revolutionary war and who were alive back then you know believe yes we're fighting for religious freedom christian religious freedom specifically because most people back then were christian but i mean this is just my thought on it is that satan looked ahead to where we are now that what we can see going on people are using this first amendment that is in the u.s constitution to put baphomet statues in state capitals and to argue that abortion is a religious right for like the church of satan so it should be legal satan's excellent at planning and calculating and i you don't think he he thought of that way back then so it's important to keep things in a spiritual context and that's like the point of this channel is we're not just discussing politics from like a left right or you know there is a spiritual element to everything that is going on and while we may not know exactly um where it's going to go in the future the job here is to point out the pieces that are moving on the board so that we're not unprepared right yeah 100 wow so uh matthew or either one of you where do you get this bible from i want to go look at it i want to do a little research on it i'm sure you guys have already done it but this is the first time i'm hearing about it just look up the uh god bless america bible and you'll be able to find it i also do think 60 dollars 60 dollars yeah that's pretty steep probably 20 bucks seems to be the going price so it's a kjv there it is it yeah it's a king james version of the bible you know i think they did that because i've been paid 40 mine's leather so okay that's that's i guess reasonable i i think it um i wonder well in addition you have all of this extra biblical material right next to god's word so maybe that's where the extra 20 bucks charge comes in which that's something that um yeah i think it's important to just let god's stand on its own not to add or take away from it and uh i don't necessarily think that any any like legislative articles or um articles of governance should be put alongside uh god's word i think you need to be when you're sober-minded it's a matter of putting all else in the world aside being reasonable and focusing on what god wants to say and trying to leave behind your own prejudices and biases you want to really just see what does the bible say what it does is god's message for me how can the holy spirit convict me and i think if you maybe go through and read the bill of rights prior to that or declaration of independence that could kind of cloud your mind almost yeah i give you a you'll start to think of it through this american lens and i did highlight um in those captions i added the captions and one of the uh captions was about he said our uh judeo-christian values and you hear this term judeo-christian a lot i wanted to dive into it a lot more and perhaps we will in another break but there's honestly so much so we're going to be talking about already that uh i've just put it off to another day but this idea of judeo-christian you hear that often paired with the term abrahamic these abrahamic religions and i really don't i don't like it to be honest because the idea that christianity is abrahamic is that it originated from abraham but that's not true god didn't first speak with abraham he spoke with adam and eve in the garden he spoke with cain you have the account he warned cain that sin is lying at the door you can go through he talked to noah there was
20:09 the uh post-flood generations and you know we do finally arrive at abraham who was an important figure in the bible surely but he walked with god and he also didn't come up with the how god is to be worshiped and what god wants it was already in place because it said that he was building altars to the lord it's not like he was inventing anything or coming up with this this is already handed down it was passed down generation through generation and it started in the garden that's an important thing that originated there and also when you tie in a judeo-christian idea you're bringing in modern day rabbinic judaism which doesn't just include the old testament they have something called the tanakh which is what they refer to the old testament as it would be the uh first five books of the new testament which is what they took as well as the prophets and the wisdom books obviously they're going to exclude anything from the new testament in there but then they have things like the talmud for example the holy talmud and then they have the the kabbalah as well and those books directly contradict the uh the words that are in any christian's bible i mean i just today i was doing a little research on the side and in the talmud it says that jesus was a sinner he was a jewish sinner and he was sinful but he tried to benefit israel with his sins and right then and there what is this from this is from the talmud which is an extra biblical religious most holy kabbalah and the holy yes or is it the most holy talmud and holy kabbalah or something it would be holy holy talmud most holy kabbalah and kabbalistic practices a lot of people it's weird because no matter what side of that had judaism they they take the kabbalah seriously they like what it has to offer it's you get a lot of weird stuff the tree tree of life and all this like i said this is another topic, p Ihnen benim esen ist aber relativ ist das travesti, geh oikein Right More Traffic I passar das das mafia 어요 이랑 Ich band flashing I ist und habe das aber los are purposefully using it to muddy the waters and i don't know where trump's heart is i don't know it's like i said it's a buzzword he may have just picked it up from the circles that he's running in but it isn't accurate uh to describe our relationship with god to to combine it like that so well galatians 329 and if you be christ then are you abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise so there is the you know it's no longer something you're born into it's no longer something that has to be done at you know a temple with a priesthood that that all ended and so the it was a the covenant that god made with abraham and if you look at the old testament which i'm like reading through right now the foreshadowing all the foreshadowing like the the sacrifices and the way the tabernacle was laid out in the temple and the order of things all of that foreshadowed christ and his ministry and what he's doing his sacrifice and then what he's doing now in heaven and so the whole point of it was to get to christ um so yeah that's and that's what's important again with you know if you hear somebody talking about religion or god or spirituality but they're not they're staying away noticeably away from mentioning jesus christ that's important because jesus said i'm the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me right so that name has power it's the name above all names and so it's it's now that i you know i'm kind of clued into this whenever i hear somebody talking i automatically notice what they're not saying and that's what we have to pay attention to too there's a subtext there's there's not only multiple meanings to what people say sometimes but there's also meaning in what they're not saying and so that's something we have to pay attention to as well i want to i want to double double on that and say that um we talked about that actually in an episode or two ago i forget what we're talking about true prophecy and and uh and things like that and one of the tests not only of the spirits but also of a true prophet or prophecy is does it claim jesus is god that's that's essentially and uh and that's not only using that verse but also other things is is is christ jesus god and um that's that's a huge test and that's it's very very interesting any thoughts matthew well i want to look at
25:03 this particular aspect of donald trump so these obviously he's a public figure a lot of his dirty laundry is aired that's going to happen if you're a celebrity if you're anyone you can you can look up you know nasty things about pretty much anyone but there is one specific incident that uh so it's rubbed me of the wrong way when it comes to trump and it comes to this idea of him being like a really strong christian evangelical figurehead it's this particular uh incident and i really think when people point to this that they're making a mountain out of a molehill so to speak and we're going to discuss it after the fact but this is donald trump talking about how he he doesn't ask god for forgiveness and and he is not repentant so take take a look at these two clips that i i've collected for us and they'll play back to back shockingly these people are so shocked when they find this out i'm protestant i'm presbyterian and i go to church and i love god and i love my church and norman vincent field the great norman vincent field was my pastor the power of positive thinking everybody's heard of norman vincent but he was so great he would give a sermon you never wanted to leave sometimes we have services everyone's alone we think about leaving a little early right you don't know what person doesn't feel right we give a sermon and we give a sermon i'm telling you i still remember his service it was unbelievable and what he would do is he'd bring real life situations modern day situations into the sermon and you could listen to him all day when you left the church you were disappointed that it was over he was the greatest guy and then you know he passed away but he was great they wrote the power of positive i just go on and try and do it if i if i do something wrong i think i just try and make it right i don't bring god into that picture i don't know when i take you know when we go to church and when i drink mother wine which is about the only wine i drink and have my own cracker i guess that's just formal asking for forgiveness and i do that as often as possible because i feel cleansed okay but uh you know to me that's important i do that but in terms of officially i should i see i could say absolutely and everybody i don't think in terms of that i i think in terms of let's go on and let's make it right well let me ask you because one of the potential attack lines has to do with an answer you gave to Frank Luntz months ago when you said that you've never asked God for forgiveness. Do you regret making that remark? No, I have great relationship with God.
28:03 I have great relationship with the evangelicals. In fact, nationwide, I'm up by a lot. I'm leading everybody. But I like to be good. I don't like to have to ask for forgiveness. And I am good. I don't do a lot of things that are bad. I try and do nothing that's bad. I live a very different life than probably a lot of people would think. And I have a very great relationship with God. And I have a very great relationship with the evangelicals. And I think that's why I'm doing so well with Iowa. Wow, that is something. And I know, Matthew, you take it, take control. What do you think? That the important aspect of being a Christian is to be repentant, is to be good. And I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good acknowledge that you have a sorrow for the sins that you have committed and realizing too that Jesus's sacrifice ultimately on the cross, you helped put him there. Your sins are part of those collective sins of humanity that he died for, that he bled and died for. And that's a really heavy thing. When you understand that Jesus as God had me, I'm talking about me personally, Matthew, in mind when he was on the cross, because he had that mind. He had the mind of God. So he was thinking, I'm dying to reconcile him to myself so that he can have everlasting life and enjoy it with me and enter into the fullness of life in the new earth. That's beautiful. How can I not feel this overwhelm? I mean, right now I'm talking about it. I feel overwhelming sorrow, really. Current position is really nasty and we do nasty things all the time and we have to learn to hate those things. And we learn to hate those things by learning about Jesus Christ, because I think about how Jesus would handle some situations and I think about how I handled the situations and I blush. I'm ashamed. I want to hide my face. How could you, how would you do that? When, you know, if Jesus was standing next to you, he'd be like, Matthew, are you all right? Like, why, why would you behave this way? This is not how you're supposed to conduct yourself. And you know, that's not how you're supposed to conduct yourself. The fact that he just doesn't really feel bad about it. And then even when he says, I like to be a good person. Well, Donald, believe me, we'd all like to be good people. You're not alone there, but we are not good people. There's only one that is good. And that is God. You have to, you have to just come to this conclusion that, um, yeah, you, you need to be repentant of your sins and there's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can offer up. You can't just go on and try to do better the next time. Try to do better the next time is not good enough when you've transgressed the law of God. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think, Eric? Yeah. Uh, there's some discussion in the chat about, you know, Biden versus Trump. I just want to make clear, we're not endorsing anybody. The whole point of this is to, you know, highlight the spiritual, the spiritual aspect of this and the reality that the whole left, uh, right thing, capitalism versus communism, you know, Jews versus Gentiles, blacks versus white. This is all a distraction that Satan has put in place so that we're not looking at him and what's going on, the conflict between him and Jesus Christ. And so that we're not paying attention to Bible prophecy and looking at, because if you don't look at current events through the lens of God's word, you will get a completely different interpretation.
31:50 Of what's going on and why is going on, but where we are in the stream of time. And that's what Satan wants. He wants people to be so distracted that by the time Jesus Christ actually returns, and it's too late to repent and it's too late to, to get a relationship with him, that we're, we're on the wrong side because we've been distracted. And there's lots of things that he uses to do that. And politics is one of them. Money's another, you know, it's, it's different. And there's, so we're not, um, going after Trump or going after Biden. And actually Matt does have a thing that we're building into with this, that it, you know, so this is not just a show about bashing Donald Trump, uh, a shout out to hands also in the chat, because he mentioned, um, comment that that's how the elites live. They do good to cancel out their bad deeds. That's absolutely a Masonic idea, the idea of karma. And it's like, we are above the checkerboard and we can do, you know, good and evil do as thou wilt. So absolutely. And I'm not, I, you know, I don't know that Donald Trump is technically a free Mason. I know he is a, he trained at, it was a Jesuit university. Um, Matthew or has an honorary degree or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. There's some educational association, but everybody has some form of Jesuit training who is, uh, yeah. In that position, but sadly not like what he just said is like, okay, well, if I do bad, I try to like do good, you know, to kind of balance it out. And that's not, you know, there is no salvation that works. There's nothing that we can do. We, we are forgiven only because of Jesus Christ sacrifice. That's the only way we have salvation. And so, yes, we, you know, we, because we love Christ, we wanna do good things, but at the same time, our filthy or our righteousness is as filthy rags is I think is in, is that Isaiah or Jeremiah? Um, basically there's nothing that we can do that is good enough to buy our way into heaven or to get salvation. It's only because of Jesus Christ sacrifice. Yeah. That's why, like you said, I mean, it's, it's fundamental to the gospel of Jesus Christ that we acknowledge that we need a savior because if, if, if you never repent of anything, if you don't acknowledge that you need a savior, then you're not gonna pick Jesus Christ as your savior. That's the whole reason. It, it just negates all of the gospel and all of God's word. So.
34:11 Yeah, 100%. And I was gonna say, you know, even Romans three talks about all have sinned and fallen short of the canoe of God. All have sinned. And so, uh, it's, it's, it's clear that we all need a savior. We all need to repent. And one of the biggest thing that's missing from a lot of churches, if your church doesn't talk about repentance, go find another church. This is not the church you need to be in because a lot of church are, are, are, they, they exclude the idea. And you've heard even, I've heard even preachers talk about this. Some of the, one of the biggest preachers talk about this and he says he doesn't talk about sin. He doesn't talk about repentance because, you know, I don't need to worry about that stuff. No, you do need to worry about that stuff. That's, that's the whole reason we're here and we're in this. sin-sickened country, earth, sin-sickened world. I mean, and it is, it's a mess. And so we need to ask forgiveness. And that's a leader who doesn't ask forgiveness, doesn't know the gospel. I mean, I'm just going to say it, make it plain. Anybody who doesn't ask forgiveness doesn't, you know. Right. Yeah. It's a lack of understanding ultimately, because that's what I was saying. If you understand the price that was paid for your sins, then you, you'd be repentant of them. I believe, I think that, that, uh, that's what's there. And yeah, this is not a, uh, yeah, we're not hating on Donald Trump and we are, tonight is definitely a look at some of the conservative stuff that's happening in the political sphere, but I am, I am no means, I don't identify as a liberal or a Democrat. I don't identify as a Republican or a conservative. I, I am apolitical.
35:45 At one point in time, I was very politically charged and I fell more in line with the conservative line of thinking. So going back through this stuff, it's not something that, um, I I'm like relishing doing, and it's like, Oh, I can't wait to put Donald Trump on blast and talk about him and have him, uh, be in the title because, you know, he draws views or whatever. Now he's important. He's an important figure and he's talking about Christianity. I mean, he's talking about it's how much more explicit he is. And I think that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a it's like, this is, this is where we're at. And honestly, uh, when it comes to Joe Biden, he doesn't really talk much about religion, but he is a practicing Catholic and he has been, and yeah, he's, he's done the whole papal trips and all of that. So is Donald Trump. Every world leader has done it. And, uh, yeah, there's just not as much material realistically to talk about when it comes to, to their point of view. Uh, however, that, that being said, I do want to introduce this, uh, this, uh, this, uh, this, uh, this, uh, this, uh, this, uh, this, uh, this, uh, this conservative, um, effort that is, is being pushed. Unless you guys have any little additional thoughts, we're going to be able to talk more. Trust me. This is first John 1, 8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. So that's pretty clear. I also want to add to that, uh, John 18, uh, 33, Jesus answered, you know, my kingdom is not of this world. Uh, we're, we're, I mean, even though we live in the world, we're not to be of the world. That's another quote. And so I think that it's important that we don't, we distinguish ourselves as a peculiar people. Um, not ones that are a part of this, uh, national, what do they call it? National, um, Christian, Christian nationalism type thing where you are. So hold that thought. I think Matt's about to get into that. So, oh, very good. Yeah. Let's do it. Let's, you know, let's get into that here. Pull up my, uh, my next slide. Number four. So this is a project 2025 and maybe you've heard something about it. Maybe you haven't, but we're going to look at their material tonight because I believe what Donald Trump is doing with this Bible is directly tied to this project. So this is about project 2025 building now for a conservative victory through policy, personnel, and training. The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for the people of Washington to build a better country for all Americans in 2025. It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place ready to carry out this agenda on day one of the next conservative administration. This is the goal of the 2025 presidential transition project. The project will build a better country for all Americans in 2025. It is not enough for conservatives in 2025. It will build on four pillars that will collectively pave the way for an effective conservative administration, a policy agenda, personnel training, or personnel training, and a 180-day playbook. The project is the effort of a broad coalition of conservative organizations that have come together to ensure a successful administration begins in January 2025 with the right conservative policy recommendations and the right policies. It is not enough for the parties to have toeler this process, for the� a state should be a state of emergency. It is not withstandable. That is why, inкого the Regentscom. lecture & call urC b two-thirds of Heritage's proposals within just one year in office. Paul Danz, former chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management during the Trump administration, serves as the director for the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. Spencer Creighton, former special assistant to the president and associate director of presidential personnel, serves as associate director of the project. So we have these names attached to it, and we're seeing that the Heritage Foundation is attached to it. We'll look into that a little bit later, but I want to just look.
40:21 This is Project 2025. On this channel, we've gone over a lot of material where these occultists, who aren't necessarily in league with each other, they're from different time periods, they're from different backgrounds, you know, they can be from the theosophists, the society founded by Madame Blavatsky, they could be New Agers who just meditate with crystals, all of them point to the year 2025 as something pivotal, something massive taking place. And here we see that this project wants to put in place a 180-day playbook where, before the year is halfway over, you have major political changes put in place by a new conservative president, or maybe an old conservative president, who is getting his second term. What do you think, lads? Absolutely. Before, I want to pass it to Eric, but I want to catch this super chat real quick. I can't say, I'm not gonna, I'm gonna completely obliterate your name if I say it. Tajar Duplis, I'm terrible at names. Duplisis. Duplisis, yes. They say this book is church and state in one book, in a book, the U.S. Constitution and the Bible in one book, church and state combined. And we were talking about the Bible previously. Yeah, absolutely. And I want to, and we've, now we're talking about this Project 2025, which is just as interesting.
41:58 And so I totally understand and totally agree with what you're saying. It's a combination of stuff, and that's why we're bringing it up. Sorry to interrupt, Matthew. No, no, no worries. I wanted to just get your, your opinion. What's your, what's your take on this, this Project 2025, at least on, on a surface level from what you're reading here? Eric, what's your thoughts? Oh, yeah. Well, to dig a little, well, it's not, it's not too much deeper, but basically the whole idea of why they're getting this ready is so that it can be implemented starting day one. So if you remember the first Trump presidency, like it's, yes, he was just a little explanation of his first term is that he hired and put in positions in his, his cabinet and his administration. A lot of people who were part of what they call the swamp is the, the popularized term for it. But he had people in there who were kind of hindering on that. In fact, I see news stories all the time about, so, you know, for example, there's a lawyer that was in his administration that was hindering the effort for the, I think the recount or the certifying the January 6th. So it's like, he had people working for him who are actively working against him. So this is to get around that. This is to like, stop all that. Now the idea is if it is, if it does end up being Donald Trump in office next term is that he'll know, okay, this is who I need to hire. This is who I, you know, don't hire this person. And then here's the plan starting day one so that he can just start blitzing through the actions to supposedly move America back in the right direction. And so that's kind of the, overarching thing. I mean, it's 900, how many pages is it Matt? Like over 900 pages. And we're not obviously going to go through all of them, but that there it's, it's basically like the, the playbook so that they don't have to get into office and then waste time figuring out what to do. Just go, which would happen in 2025. Also, you know, you know, the United States presidential elections in November of this year, but the new president doesn't get sworn in until 2025, which is also interesting. Yes, I think so. Uh, the, about the playbook and some of the, the agenda and all of that, we're going to get even deeper into that, uh, in just a little bit. But first I want to show this clip. This is a, uh, this is a pretty, it's a, it's framed humorously. This is from the heritage projects, YouTube channel. And this is a collection of, uh, liberal media reacting to project 2020.
44:41 25. Wait, you got some buffering. Hold on. Um, I'm not sure what's going on. YouTube. Yeah. I'm seeing it too. Um, it looks like we're back. So we're good. All right. All right. That was really weird. Um, can everyone confirm they can hear us? Yes. The, what did I just to reiterate, we're going to watch a clip now from the heritage foundation. This is liberal media reacting to project 2025. There we go. Roll it. We're in tonight with a terrifying concept, a frightening article. They're calling it project 2025 incredibly important reporting. People need to pay attention to this plan that they want to put in place. If the Republican party wins the presidency upon the inauguration, according to the New York times, those plans include bringing independent agencies under direct presidential control. It's kind of being pitched under the guise of dismantling the administrative state.
45:40 They say they would plan to do this with any Republican president. It's about deregulation. It's about deconstructing the administrative state. There's a network of conservative groups who are backing this effort. Like the heritage foundation. Take this very seriously. Don't think this is a joke. It is incredibly alarming. Frightening development. You don't have to be a civics dork to know that you don't want that. We've never seen anything like this in American history. This is going to be an interesting, uh, site. Yeah. You can see this is a humorous, they threw in Rachel Maddow. That laugh. That laugh. So the approach here, sorry. What's up, Eric? No, I was just going to say, I was going to say the approach from the heritage foundation is one where they're, they're laughing. And this is, uh, it's kind of the approach that I think conservatives take, and it's more of a winning approach than some of the stuffy, uh, behavior you would see out of like, uh, they consider them neoconservatives when Donald Trump was elected in 2016.
46:50 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the amount of memes that were surrounding him was insane. I think he is probably the most memed person on the planet. If you went back through and you looked at all of the different videos and jokes, uh, maybe other than Joe Biden, cause there's a, a lot of hate memes for Joe Biden right now, it's the whole idea around memes and social media and, uh, the president's presidency. You could write a book on it cause it's, it's really interesting how it shapes public opinion, but they're taking a, a. more humorous edge they're showing oh this is a classic liberal meltdown and I think that those media outlets those liberal media outlets are going to look at something like project 2025 they're gonna have issues with it but they're gonna have issues with it because it's a conservative agenda and that's not necessarily what I'm interested in it's not I you know I wouldn't say I'm really upset about it but I find this interesting I think this is prophetic I think that what we're watching is the dematerialization of the separation of church and state and we could very well see some some policies put into place some things put into law maybe before things get really crazy that will allow certain steps to be taken because the laws will already be on the books and it's yeah it's gonna be interesting Eric what what would you have to say you That sounds like, I'm reminded of Javier Millet, which if anybody's paying attention to what's going on in Argentina, he's like called the Trump of essentially South America, where he's putting Argentina back on track.
48:32 And from an economic, purely like earthly economic and governmental perspective, it seems to be, you know, working, but he's, yeah, he's charismatic. He, you know, part of his campaign, he did this like whiteboard where he had all these magnets of different government bureaucracies, because essentially Argentina was socialist. And he was just like, this one's going to be gone, and that one's going to be gone, and this one, and he did it like on day, as soon as he got into office, like he was ready to go and just started slashing the administrative state, which, and I just want to acknowledge, it's easy to get caught up in this. Because even like me, myself, it's like, there's a lot of things about this. It's like, yes, this is a good idea. And it's like, I hate bureaucracy. I just hate it. So one of the things I'm looking forward to never dealing with in heaven and the new earth is bureaucracy. And it's like, so when somebody comes along and says, yeah, I'm gonna get rid of this bureaucracy and all of these, you know, regulations or things like that, lower taxes, it's easy to identify with that and to start rooting for that.
49:32 And that, and the issue with that is that it gets us away from looking at the real solution, which is Jesus Christ. Because no solution, any human leaves. It's about what the Savior is that is going to propose here is going to be one. It's going to be per it's going to be temporary. And two, it's going to be imperfect. So we're supposed to keep looking at the perfect permanent one time solution that's coming. So this is essentially a distraction, but it's getting a, I mean, it gets people riled up, and especially when you put people in a situation like we are now, you know, there's inflation, there's crime, there's all these things, and that's Satan sowing chaos. He wants to lead people. is not by accident you know he wants he well are we going to get into we're going to get into the uh yeah the polls later i'm looking i'm trying to look at the show outline so that i don't step over you matt but like um that's fine we're going where satan is leading the world leaders that's why this is happening so i'll just leave it there right now yes uh brad did you have anything you want to add before we know you said it all okay i think that's fantastic so the next slide here that i have uh is talking about the man for leadership and this is um actually it's pillar one this book is a project of more than 400 scholars and policy experts from across the conservative movement and around the world contributors include former elected officials world-renowned economists and veterans from four presidential administrations this is an agenda prepared by and for conservatives who will be ready on day one capital day one of the next presidential administration's agenda administration to save our country the heritage foundation is once again facilitating this work but as our dozens of partners and hundreds of authors will attest this book is the work of the entire conservative movement the next conservative president will enter office on january 20th 2025 with a simple choice greatness or failure it will be a daunting test but no more so than every other generation of americans has faced and passed the conservative promise represents the best effort of the conservative movement in 2023 and the next conservative president's last opportunity to save our republic so we are in the end game people like this is this is for all the marbles and this mandate for leadership here is the first pillar and of four which will ensure america's survival and not just survival but the survival of the free and the survival but it's thriving uh well let's go into the next slide before we have a little conversation about it so this is taken directly out of the the mandate it is available on project 2025.org you can read it in its entirety as eric mentioned it's over 900 pages so if you're looking for something specific you might want to on your keyboard press control f that'll bring up the find feature and you can punch in specific boxes in there as well but you could input a bunch of other buzzwords to look through it. That's a great way to make it through these government things that are just so intimidating because it's like, wow, how much do I have to read? But you don't have to read all that much if you're looking for something specific. So the four pillars are as follows. This volume, meaning this mandate that this list is in, puts in one place a consensus view of how major federal agencies must be governed and where disagreement exists between brackets out these differences for the next president to choose a path. So this is what it
53:17 is. It's just a book. But pillar two here, I think is interesting, a personnel database that allows candidates to build their own professional profiles and our coalition members to review and voice their recommendations. These recommendations will then be collated and shared with the president-elect's team, greatly streamlining the appointment process. So they're assembling a database of all, like, basically trusted, vetted conservatives that will hold these offices. And not only will they be holding these offices, they will carry out this agenda. Like, this is part of the agreement. It's like, okay, do you sign on to this? This is, you're taking a vow, essentially, that you're going to use your political power to further this agenda. And they'll have a whole list of people who are willing and capable of doing that. So pillar three is the Presidential Administration Academy, an online educational system taught by experts from our coalition. For the newcomer, this will explain how the government functions and how to function in government. For the experienced, we will host in-person seminars with advanced training to set the bar for what is expected of senior leadership. So we have, this is like more of the education. This is teaching you how to think about this. And then we are forming agency teams and drafting transition plans to move out upon the Presidency's utterance of, so help me God. And that phrase right there, so help me God, it's, again, invoking the spiritual aspect of this. So just to clarify, what we're reading from is the mandate. It is, like, the big body of work. We are not reading from the playbook, and the playbook is not available. I believe we will see the playbook be made available. If, as they are putting forward very sternly here, the next president is a conservative, then we will see that playbook, I believe, before the day one in office. So what do you guys think about that?
55:24 You know what I wonder if he's going to break, you know what would be a break from tradition and something like a headline-grabbing thing is, like, if he literally did this, and at his inauguration address, you know what would happen? You know what would happen? You know what would happen? You know what would happen? You know what would happen? You know what would happen? You know what would happen? You know what would happen? YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? You know, I think that if he started signing executive orders, not even waiting to get back to the oval office, because technically he would be, once you say, so help me God, and the oath is done, he would, whoever it is, would be the president, and you could start issuing orders, and that would be interesting to see. I've had that thought, I don't know if it's going to happen or not. But, yeah. It is obviously meant to – Well, it is like in the military, Matt. You have plans, you get money. You train and you plan and you drill and all this and then it's like okay when it's go time it's like you just execute and it becomes a very a danger for this aside from the overarching you know theme of it incorporate you know christian nationalism incorporating church and state but a danger in something like this is also it can tend to become like robotic so if you have this plan all in place and it picks up steam it can happen very quickly and you can be in a situation where things are happening either too quickly or people are there are consequences happening and they're not being taken into account or it's it's moving the human element out of it and people aren't really thinking they're just going by the plan um which i'm sure you know on some level is the point but yeah it's it's encompassing all of the you know personnel um there's a saying personnel is policy and so getting people in there who will do the the go the way that they want to go and they know that in advance um it'll be interesting to see what can be done if that if this is actually implemented so not saying that it's going to be i mean obviously we still don't this is going to be a long year i think um we don't know exactly how it's going to turn out and maybe you know what maybe this is a there's a there's the other option maybe this is like a head phase maybe the it's the pendulum swing is going to stall or because we don't know how long god is going to allow this system to go on and when he's going to step in and cut the time short so that's that's the other thing is like we can't pin our hopes on oh yeah it's definitely swinging back this way and we have this much time left and you know then some people could start date setting it's like oh christ is going to come back in this you know we don't want to get into that territory um so we just have to watch and see what's going on now where it could go but um yeah it might not one thing is for sure satan is not going to get to implement his full plan whatever that is so whatever they have planned when you hear the occult dates like 2025 2030 like and we start looking at okay they could take it this way or that way at a certain point satan's going to say or god is going to say no enough and so whatever satan has planned he's not going to get through it so that's the hopeful message of god's word so yeah i don't know when the pendulum this seems to be the swing and like you said we'll see if that's the case but uh as i mentioned earlier you know there is a lot of occultists who are fixated on the year 2025 doesn't mean we need to be as christians but it means that they are going to be making plans they're going to be making moves during that time frame because they believe that the time is right for them and that they're this is that this is their hour to uh to seize hold of we do uh we had a couple of superchats i can acknowledge those brad um we have a chat from love thy god just uh the first superchat the channel thank you love thy god uh wonderful name we absolutely should uh love our god oh and i did a follow-up here with uh the second superchat asking why is ben carson a sponsor of this question mark he's adventist and i don't understand so on the i'm going to hand this one over to you brad but first i just want to tell you that he you uh ben carson is involved in project 2025 and specifically the mandate for leadership if you go to their website you can as i said you can read this whole thing go to their table of contents under section three you will see that he uh has contributed
59:49 an entire chapter under department of housing and urban development and it's about 14 pages long and it's ben carson writing it so uh you can read it for yourself i haven't read through it as of yet there's a i've been trying to pick away at this massive uh book but it's there and yeah certainly he he has a contribution towards it so brad what do you think about that you know it is interesting i think i pressed the wrong button here let me make sure i'm on the right right one here um that is not the one i want to show my screen but i can't bring it up for some reason you know i think it's interesting and i think that's um i wish i could ask ben exactly what he's thinking here i do know that um i've been involved with some pretty big projects within the church itself and and you threw it to me because i'm i'm the uh token abonist in this program tonight i just want to i i think it's it's it's it's fascinating we had uh and i'm not saying a specific any names i'm gonna i want to make sure that anybody's watching and they're not i'm not gonna throw anybody under the bus um but there was a very very big thing that i was able to do that i was able to do that thing that happened in the church one time and and people made um big statements um i'm gonna tie this together in the end big statements about um how they felt the church should vote on certain things and um i was a part of building the websites and making sure everyone all these different pastors were on on board with all this stuff and we're gathering quotes and putting people's pictures up there just like on this project 2025 website um and i i'm not gonna say one pastor a very prominent pastor in the church um was uh uh for the policy that we were uh pushing and i'm being very vague about this for for for certain reasons but not everyone is told everything and so about halfway or a quarter way through the program he called up and was like i don't think this is getting pretty hot i don't want to be a part of it and he pulled back and we had to take his name off the website i don't know what's going on he obviously ben carson is still on the website here he's he's a part of this thing uh but what i'm saying is it's possible that it's possible he didn't know everything that was going on here and they said hey can you write something for this policy on what your department's doing uh and we'll put it in a christian uh presidential uh poll for this whole thing and he's like wow i didn't you know what is this he's a doctor he's all this other stuff that's going on in his life maybe he hasn't completely researched it and maybe now that's out there he can't pull it back maybe maybe i don't know i'm speaking for him but uh i and then again this is seems like a big deal and it does seem like they're saying stuff that i would disagree with so why wouldn't you stick your neck out there and say hey i'm gonna pull my my name back i don't want to be a part of this well then you get into politics maybe you can't do that in this realm so uh to answer your question why is ben carson still a part of this i don't know but i i do think that um there are some miscommunications that happen and don't fault him yet don't don't shoot him yet that's what i'm saying that's my thoughts i didn't even know ben carson was an infant i didn't i knew he was like some type of religious but i didn't uh i had no idea yeah i wasn't paying attention too much to him in the the 2016 election so i think one thing that i've maybe don't mention enough is the hegelian dialectic so going back to like not knowing exactly how this is going to turn out so the idea of the hegelian dialectic is if you have a direction that you want people to go you set up two extremes on either end and then you get those two to fight each other and then you come in with the down the middle solution which is what you wanted all along that appeals to both sides and so the thing that gets me about and this is kind of you know so we can mention the other side biden and the political left is everybody's saying that basically if the left wins basically if trump doesn't win this next election it's going to be catastrophic like the united states is going to be lost and the basis for that is like okay look at all the policies they've implemented under joe biden and then you've got the world economic forum and klaus schwab and things it's like okay then they're going to have free reign to implement that the other side of that is donald trump and the the christian nationalist right and that that's you know where the pendulum seems
1:04:37 to be going so then the question we need to ask is if this is a hegelian dialectic situation we got to be on the lookout for this what's going to come in and be that nice middle road that's going to unite because that's what god's word tells us is basically the whole world is going to be united at a certain point you know and there's certain key things we're waiting for from bible prophecy and like revelation and things like there's going to be a cry of peace and security it doesn't say going to be peace and security but there's going to be a declaration of some kind that says hey we've we've done it you know or we have this we're looking for you know the no buy no sell that hasn't happened yet so what is going to be because it's it's funny there's a um i don't think she's not british i think she's german and member of parliament mp for the eu christine anderson and she made an interesting comment i think we they actually had it on the show once but she basically talked it was talking about the world him and klaus schwab and she says klaus schwab is not the person like implementing this behind the scenes he's just the idiot that you know that's got in front of the camera so it's like the the people that we are focused on that it's all it's all a shell game and it's all like you know a magic a magic trick right it's misdirection so satan sets up these people like demagogues klaus schwab you've all know harari on one side and then you've got donald trump and these other people on the other side and everybody focuses on that and who and who are we not focusing on what satan's about the the big you know finale that satan's about to unleash but if we're focused on god's word we won't be destroyed that's the whole point get into the bible you want to know what's going to happen book of daniel and the book of revelation that's those are the two like main and there's of course others like you know there's isaiah ezekiel and things like that but those two for what we have left to deal with in this system before christ returns that's that's where it's at and of course the words of jesus christ himself you know and he talks about the end of the the system and there's going to be fall how often did he say do not be deceived why do you have to warn people not to be deceived it's because there's going to be deceivers and deceptions you know he specifically addressed this so we have to keep keep that in mind i mean don't trust i mean if you hear something in the mainstream media or the government don't trust it don't trust don't just take our word for stuff you know we'll try to sort things and reference things but get it you know if we quote god's word um even if we're reading it off the screen go into your bible and look it up yourself you know pray for the holy spirit before you read god's word see that you won't be deceived and you'll reach the right conclusions and we should not be opening god's word and reading it without asking for his guidance because he's the one who wrote it and he we need his help to interpret it don't you know if you want to go look up these clips i mean maybe that's something we can do better on the show is i know certain shows they have the urls or you know we're trying to put on screen here for text references and just read directly from it but the the information is there we have the internet it's a wonderful tool and it can be a wonderful tool and go look at the information yourself make up your own mind and um you know have your own walk with christ yeah brad did you have anything you wanted to add or you want to go on we're going to look a little more into the this mandate for leadership let's do it here's something that really caught my attention using that find feature i talked about i looked up the term sabbath and sure enough the term sabbath was mentioned nine times and it was all on the same page so we're just gonna you know if you could resize this a little bit brad just so i can uh oh wow read it but we're going to uh we're going to just go through this page and uh and look at this because looking at is um is well it's legislation that that wants to be passed within the next year if possible so this is we'll just start out while metrics on the state of american families and civil society are important and useful monthly statistics would be of little additional value and could end up causing unnecessary confusion and concern funding should be oriented towards improving the timelessness of annual family statistics sabbath rest god ordained the sabbath as a day of rest and until very recently the judeo-christian see there's that term again tradition sought to honor that mandate by moral and legal regulation of work on that day moreover a shared day off makes it possible for families and communities to enjoy time off
1:09:25 together rather than as atomized individuals and provides a healthier life for everyone unfortunately that communal day of rest has eroded under the pressures of consumerism and secularism especially for low income workers so keep this on the screen keep us on the screen for now because i want to point something out here talking about this shared day off right that makes it possible for families and communities to enjoy more time together i think that's great i lo you know i love assembling with fellow believers sharing our faith our testimonies or reviewing scripture together that's wonderful but for all of their religious talk and spiritual talk they're not acknowledging the sabbath this day of rest is for you to rest ultimately with god yeah to rest in god's peace it isn't a just community aspect here this is for us to connect with the creator of the universe the one who died for us and the one that loves us so much also i just think seeing there that it said until recently that it was uh it was mandated as a legal regulation for that day of work i can't necessarily what so when's the last time there was a major country that had legislation about um well sabbath and i say sabbath but we're as we're going to read on on this page the definition of sabbath is a is a little shaky um i don't necessarily think it is the biblical uh definition of sabbath but what what are your thoughts guys so so what do you mean in uh in here or in uh that it's it's not saying oh i see what you're saying okay it took me a second i'm slow tonight yeah what they're talking about here is absolutely they're trying to say uh we need to take a day off and why don't we just use the day that everyone's taking a day off on already um that's that that should send red flags out the wazoo i should see a kind of red flags in chat because what there's what that's what they're saying hey look we already have this over here and this has kind of been established and it's a leadership thing uh why don't we all just take a sabbath rest a lot of people in in christianity have been i'm trying to use the right words here confused into thinking that sunday the first day is the seventh day of the week and they believe the lord's day Sunday is Sunday. And so that's where it comes into really, really big a problem, because there is nations of people. You know, there's Jews, there's Seventh-day Adventists, there's Seventh-day Baptists, there's people that worship on different days of the week. And if you say, hey, we're going to legislate the four commandments, how you view God or how you worship him in these first four commandments, that's not what God wants. God wants that out of free will. It's always been that God desires your love through non-force, through you loving him, period. And that, you know, forced love, you know what that is? That's rape. So God doesn't want you to be forced upon something else. He wants you to be loving him because you want to. And so there's all kinds of problems here.
1:13:04 I sent you a couple of links in the disc. So if you want to open, so if we could just get right to and not beat around the bush about it. So I don't know if you can put them up on the screen, Brad. Yeah, I can. Let me see if I can throw that up on the screen. Where is my screen? Here it is. Why did it come up with that? I don't understand. There we go. Yeah. So that's... Not anything that we wrote. This is the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Yeah. Straight up. Sunday, the first day of the week. Defining it. But, and then look there, the Christian analog of the Jewish Sabbath. So then the next link was, well, it's basically just to the Genesis 2-3 is the first. So it's interesting in that Project 2025 document, how they talk about, okay, this is a day that God ordained. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In Genesis 2-3 is where he actually ordained it. So what it says there, and God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because that in it, he had rested from all his work, which God created and made.
1:14:19 So that's actually what, you know, brought me to the whole, what we call Saturday, the seventh day Sabbath, because I had never looked at it before. Yeah. Well, if you want the King James, but it's all, it's all, all of them say seven. Sunday's the first day. No, they do. Sunday's the first day. Which, you know, which one of the days is the seventh day. And it's like, I never thought of it before because who thinks of, it's just, I was just raised in a denomination that was like, oh yeah, Sunday. And they call it the Lord's day. That's another thing. I think the Catholic, doesn't the Catholic church do that, Matt? The Lord's day? They call it? Yes. Yeah. The Lord's day as it's called. But the justification for that is in Revelation, the first chapter. John writes that he was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. So then you have to ask, well, what is the Lord's Day? And it's Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath.
1:15:12 So there you have it. If John is referring to the Lord's Day, he's referring to the Sabbath day. And also, in addition to that, I mean, you have in Exodus, right when those Ten Commandments are being given, Exodus 20, verse 8, Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. It is defined for you. I've been over that on the channel before, but it is defined for you because, and again, I'm not being silly about this, but I've had conversations with people who say, well, now that we're in this new covenant, Jesus is our Sabbath. Jesus is the Sabbath now. And no, the Sabbath is not a man. Jesus never says, I am the Sabbath. The Bible specifically says that it'll be in a... It was starting on the eighth verse. Look at that. Yeah. Yeah.
1:16:06 You got it. You got it. Right here. The seventh day is the Sabbath. International. That's funny. It's a Sabbath that it says. See what it says. This is the non-inspired version. That's great. See, this is why... Well, maybe we can talk about this at another point in time, but the Bible verses are really shaky sometimes, depending on the translation. Is the Sabbath... Yeah, you don't have to... And that's how Satan works. Like, you don't have to change... Satan's not as obvious as to have a verse that says the complete opposite as another translation. If you change a few words, or if you... I don't know, what are they? I'm not... I always hate English. Like, prepositions or whatever. Well, you change from the to a, and suddenly... Yeah. You know. Yeah. No big deal. All right.
1:16:57 Is anybody there? Let's make sure that this is working still. I want to see the chat. Give me one, two, three in the chat, if you can. Or just give me number one. It's probably too much on a phone to type in one, two, three. It looks like we are back. Is Matt still there? All right. We're back. Everyone's saying, yeah, they got one. Okay. I'm here now. That was weird. I don't know. Man, that was weird. Not only did you disconnect, but my internet browser crashed. Folks, no, seriously, it crashed. I... Say some prayers for us. I don't know. This does happen, and I don't want to be like one of those people who, you know, I'm just like, the devil's around every corner. I genuinely don't think that. I know that we are protected. God loves us and is here for us. But there are weird times where we get on a topic, a really important topic, like the seventh day and the Sabbath and how it's being defined here in this document.
1:17:56 And all of a sudden, we're losing internet access. My browser is crashing. I mean, you know. Just say a prayer. For us, folks. I mean, yeah, well, we appreciate all prayer. Yeah, I can't even get the chat to load. Wild. But I have, like, internet connection, so we're good to go. I'll work on that as we continue. That's wild. Let's get the... Let's start looking over more of the Sabbath definition here in the mandate, because you guys, I think, are going to be surprised by this. Let's do it. Go full screen with it, Brad, if we need to. Okay. Just so I can read it. Let's see. The next one? Yes. Let me go full screen. Here we go. Good, good, good. Okay. Congress should encourage communal rest by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act to require that workers be paid time and a half for hours worked on the Sabbath.
1:18:47 That day would default to Sunday. Wow. Except for employers with a sincere religious observance of a Sabbath at a different time. Example, Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. I honestly was surprised to see that in there. Right. Just even to have it acknowledged. We'll talk about that in a second. Let me finish reading. The obligation would transfer to that period instead. Houses of worship, to the limited extent that they may have FLSA-covered employees and employers legally required to operate around the clock, such as hospitals and first responders, would be exempt, as would workers otherwise exempt from overtime. Hmm. So, having that definition thrown in there, Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, that's very specific. For all Seventh-day Sabbathers out there, my fellow keepers, happy Sabbath, by the way.
1:19:49 So great to be coming to you live on this Sabbath. But they put the definition in there, and I almost wondered, because at first I was surprised. I was like, oh, wow, it's there. Okay. Maybe there's something going on here. But then I realized, in order for there to be a choice made, right, if you're going to choose against something, you have to present the other choice. It can't just be, ah, there's only one way about it, you know? For even Satan, when he tempted Adam and Eve in the garden, it was introduced with, did God really say not to eat from the tree? So there's an option. God said not to do that? Okay. I'm going to tell you, you can do it. And there's going to be two completely different outcomes depending on what you choose to do. So I think just even acknowledging it and putting it there, it's almost, I mean, I think it's a good thing that it is being explicitly stated because that concept needs to be brought to people's minds.
1:20:48 I'll be honest with you folks. When I was practicing Catholicism, I never even considered worshiping God on any other day than Sunday. It never entered my mind. It didn't enter my thinking. And when I discovered the scriptures and what they were talking about, referring to the Sabbath and the seventh day, it really, it was a mind-blowing moment for me. So, I mean, I don't even know. I hope that just maybe someone sees that who's a Sunday keeper and they reconsider their position just based off of, well, wait a second, what is this sundown to sundown on Saturday business? Can you put that back? Can you put it back up on the screen real quick? Let me see. Yeah. So, I think another, and I agree with everything you said, Matt, and I think another thing that this does, and it's an interesting play on words. Satan loves to play on words. And it's the subconscious, like we talked about subtext, with a sincere religious observance of a Sabbath at a different time.
1:21:51 So, it's taking the real Sabbath, the one that God originally instituted, and it's making it seem like the counterfeit one or just a lesser, you know. This is not the real day. And it's just, and if you just read through it, I mean, it's maybe even just subconscious that it would, that would happen. But like, I don't know. That's something I noticed. Yeah. You guys are saying it all. No, this is fantastic. Everything you said, I would say, you guys have already said. Only thing I would say differently is that if you are enjoying this program, hit that like button. Hit that subscribe button. Because we absolutely do want to see you. We do.

This is the conclusion of the page. Just pull it up full screen if you would. Thank you. Well, some conservatives believe that the Bible is the Bible. Some conservatives believe that the government should encourage certain religious observance by making it more expensive for employers and consumers to not partake in those observances. Other conservatives believe that the government's role is to protect the free exercise of religion by eliminating barriers as opposed to correcting them. Whereas, using overtime rules on the Sabbath would lead to higher costs and limited access to services and reduce work available on the Sabbath. While also, incentivizing some people through to desire to work on the Sabbath, the proper role of government in helping to enable individuals to practice their religion is to reduce barriers to work options and to fruitful employer-employee relationships.
1:23:50 The result, ample job options that do not require work on the Sabbath so that individuals in roles that sometimes do require Sabbath work are empowered to negotiate directly with their employer to achieve their desired. But those who do not have time to make an effort to organize their services as a result of social distance can do so and provide them with a higher chance of earning a fair amount of income as a result of the work that they need.

Both are available on the families website and our website. There is a link to the book that can be found at page 389 on this site. There are two links to the book. And there are three link to the book. One is the link to the page that we read in the last three slides we read, which is the last three slides And you're welcome to review it for yourself. But there is a whole idea that ultimately they want this that they want to ultimately acknowledge in their with this alternative view that forcing companies to pay overtime if they're working on the sabbath which this is defaulted by the way to sunday that's that's what they they've put in the legislation that's not really the ideal situation uh you would really want to uh have it so that there isn't work being done uh on the well quote unquote sabbath day to begin with so that there's no overtime that really needs to be paid here we just if you're not essential service you close your doors you shut down and then basically if you're not going if if you don't acknowledge that then there might be a fine associated with it well a fine or at least this policy that's in place that's tantamount i think to a fine if you're going to tell people hey if they're working on sunday you got to pay them overtime for working on sunday even if they didn't hit overtime yeah there's say they're sitting at 30 hours a week and they got an hour it doesn't matter those eight hours because it's being worked on a government mandated sunday you are going to pay them more yeah that's that's a fine to me and it's a fine with a couple more steps involved i think it almost seems like it's coming out as kind of a holiday at first and it seems like it's going to get a little more teeth afterwards it's going to just be pressed a little further pressed a little further i mean isn't that just how satan works all the time i mean it seems on the surface as a good thing which most things do even in politics you have a lot of people that make decisions based on good intentions what is this was the saying good intentions are paving the road to hell the road to hell is paved with good there we go that's what it is and and so i i think that um this this is the initial push we're seeing the initial beginning of this thing and how do we know this is biblical well if you read revelation 13 at the very end when christ comes it says that worship is the big deal whether or not we worship the beast whether or not we worship god the ones that worship the beast so this whole the end of days thing the whole antichrist thing is tied to worship somehow are you going to worship on the correct the correct way or the incorrect way look at cain and abel are you going to work i mean it's it's a big deal or how you worship is a big deal to god and so i think that's what's going to happen and um we need to pay attention to that yeah and it's also to keep in mind it's not just uh in order like you see you mentioned mad about it being a choice and there has to be like a a clear like a dichotomy like this way or this way um you know right and wrong but there also has to be eventually so there's the the nobody you mentioned revelation 13 about the uh no well let me just look it up here might as well just pull straight from the i like to just read it that way i'm not misquoting it and uh i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know let's see revelation 13 yeah so 16 revelation 13 16 through yeah so and he causeth all both small and great rich and poor free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads and that no man might buy or sell save that he had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name and so and i think you're what you were talking about is uh
1:28:05 worship and says so that so yeah yeah and 15 that's the death decree and he had power to give life unto the image of the beast that the image of the beast should both speak clause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed so yeah yeah right right i mean it's all throughout this whole chapter from the very beginning to the end it's not going to just be a thing if they just introduce sunday and said this is the national day of rest and that's it like well most of us already have sunday and that's it like well most of us already have sunday and that's it like well most of us already have sunday off anyway i have saturday and sunday off so that doesn't impede me if i want to keep the sabbath on the seventh day but if there's a consequence associated with like and i kind of think of the um the events of are are we allowed to say certain we still can't say certain words on youtube the events of 2020 to 2022 and first things started out as a recommendation and then they were forced right and and so this could you know like you said this we're seeing the beginnings of this this could start as oh we're just going to do you know this day sunday but you can keep this other day if you want to well at a certain point if this ends up being the issue the mark of the beast and associated with that then it has to be you have to keep sunday or the day that we say and then and then there has to be a consequence for keeping the seventh day and then that for that to me would be like okay it's clearly this because if there is no consequence for keeping you know the seventh day or really any other day that you wanted to then it's not really uh like you said it it wouldn't have teeth it wouldn't mean anything so because it's especially speaking like some people like this could tie in with the whole environmentalism and the climate change narrative there have been advocated and i think in leidato see if i'm not mistaken matthew the pope has put out the whole like you know a 24-hour day of rest you know for the planet to so that we're not driving we're not polluting or whatever however you want to think about well if you think about that logically it shouldn't matter when in the week you take that 24 hours as long as everybody is taking 24 hours of not emitting carbon or not doing whatever it is they say we shouldn't do the day shouldn't matter so if all of a sudden the day matters that's significant yeah right and i do think the day will matter and what's more than that too i do believe is is going to make it so that as i said there will be a choice but i think that the choice when it comes down to it is really going to be one that is black and white i i don't think you're going to be feeling um very confused about it if you're going one way or another because this mark of the beast it goes in the head or it goes in the hand but either way it is willfully taken you are either putting it in your hand which is your we are it's more of a convenience thing you're going along with society or it's going into your head because you believe it in your mind and embraced this mentality and in addition to i do believe that uh sunday worship will be an issue and will be one of the defining features of the mark of the beast but i do think that satan is going to introduce this system that also says you're divine i think you are going to have power i think this is what satan is going to say that you have power that this is it um that everyone is forgiven all things are forgiven don't worry about anything you're going to see it two completely different systems you're going to see people who are choosing to not worship on sunday and they're going to be keeping the sabbath but in addition to that they're also going to be saying no i'm a sinner no i don't have any power to save myself no i'm waiting on god god is not here with us right now i'm waiting for jesus this is not jesus you see it's going to be these two camps that are diametrically opposed and that's the gospel gospel that's a champion of Cornerstone in the sense of the epiphanies of the world and it's not one where uh satan because we talked about the hegelian dialectic and how he loves to create two sides that are seemingly in opposition to each other smash them together and make something out of it well you can't smash these two together and make something because when you try to smash god's people into a world that has fallen into the clutches of the devil do you know coming down to rescue his people from a fallen earth that's what you get you don't get your new world order yeah yeah i want to also mention and i'm not um trying to call anybody out and i won't mention the names for those who aren't watching the live chat but i appreciate everyone that's
1:32:50 commenting on here and it's something i see often is people uh say well i don't understand why why the day is so such a big deal to you guys well the funny thing is number one it's it's not a big it's it's not me i mean i am part of a system and we i go to church on a day a specific day but that's not the reason i'm not using that as a salvation work it's just i do that because i'm saved i i love my god and that's how i do it because that's what he said now i think it's funny when people say well why is it such a big deal to you guys or people that go to church on sabbath when it's not necessarily me it's look at what's going to happen in the Bible. We're going to have a group of the government who does care about this day. I mean, that's the biggest irony to me, is that someone's pointing to me and saying, hey, why do you care so much? Well, wait a second. I'm going to point back at the government and say, why does the government care so much? How about we look into that? Because this is a religious freedom country. And if that's really going to happen, I think people should stand up and pay attention, not just start pointing fingers at another denomination or another group of people, because it's more than just the Seventh-day Adventists, more than just the Jews, more than just Seventh-day Baptists that believe this. And in fact, the heart of the issue is... Wait, let me make one more point. Nobody's Mormon here, but I think it's fascinating that the Mormon church split over this issue. Back in the day when it was forming. And so this is a big deal. And I think people have forgotten about that. That's all I want to say. Well, the core of the issue is who has the... And this is the whole controversy between Christ and Satan, is who has the right to decide what's right and wrong? Is it our creator or is it us? And Satan is everybody goes his own way, do as thou wilt, as Satan's various organizations put it.
1:34:59 It's their philosophy. And so it's not just the Sabbath. It's like the Ten Commandments, God's law. He has a way that he wants us to conduct ourselves. The whole idea of the whole trans thing that's going on now. Well, no, God actually, in Genesis, it says male and female, he created them, right? We don't get to decide. There are things, it's the acknowledgement that we as human beings are not gods. We're not responsible for the creation of life or the universal reality. And that the one who is... Is responsible for creating that. He gets to... In Revelation, it says, everybody falls down in front of Jesus and says, you are worthy. He's worthy because he created us. He's worthy because he came into this creation to die for us when he didn't have to. I mean, that just blows my... The whole thing about the plan of salvation being in place before the foundation of the world, that blew my mind. And that's a relatively recent thing. It's like God knew that not only... Before he created anybody, that he was going to have to do this. And if it was me, I just wouldn't have gone through the trouble. If I knew this is going to be the outcome, it's just... And nobody would have known. Nobody would have had any idea God was thinking about creating mankind in this place called earth, but he did it. That's why he is worthy, to make the determination of this is how... And it's not even the thing of it is, I love the Sabbath now. It's such a... When I look back on how I used to live, I would like... I would do... My Saturdays and Sundays, I could easily work through it and then you're back to work on Monday and you just feel so drained. It's like, where did my weekend go? And it's like, when you look at God's laws or even the 10 commandments, there's nothing unreasonable about that. And how many people have we... Even people who aren't religious say, man, if everybody lived by the 10 commandments, the world would be a such greater place. Yes, it would. There's nothing in there that's like, if you live by this, yeah. And if people... Jesus treat people how you want them to treat you, the golden rule. It's like...
1:36:59 Yes, that would be amazing if we live... And that's the world that we're promised that Christ wants to bring us to in the new earth is we're the only people there are the people who have agreed and who have seen through the course of life that, yes, God's way is the best. That's what it's all about. That's what... This is a court case, right? Satan is presenting his evidence. You want to see a world without God and without his law? Look around. Do you want to... This is it. And then you have the life of Jesus Christ and how he lived. And how he treated people and how people who follow Jesus Christ treat people. Those are the options. But it gets down to this base question of who has the right to rule, who has the right to decide. And followers of Christ, because they have sided with our creator, regardless of what he says, he's going to follow... They're going to follow where he leads, right? Jesus likened it to a sheep and a shepherd. They're going to follow the shepherd. So it's not just the day of the week, it's the rest of God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. God's laws. And again, like you said, Brad, it's like we don't have the... All we can do... It's not us pointing out, hey, you're doing this wrong or you're doing that wrong. That's not what Christians are supposed to do anyway. All we can do is just show you what it says in God's word. That's it.
1:38:15 That's the extent of whether you believe it or not, whether you choose to follow it or not, that is between you and God. It's not any human's job to convict anybody else of their beliefs. That's the Holy Spirit's job. The purpose here is to, like I said, we notice pieces moving on the board. Hey, call it out. It might do this, it might do that, but ultimately get back into God's word and have a relationship with him and he will take you where he wants you to go. Thank you. Thank you, fellows, for weighing in there. We are going to carry on. I'm actually going to omit some of my material because I just don't think we have time anymore to talk about it. Just maybe I'll bring it up on another broadcast. You got to go or something? Are we in a time crunch? What's the deal? No, not necessarily. It's a whole other tangent. I don't know. Let's just go to... Let's do it next time. Yeah, I agree. Let's do it next time. Let's go to slide 13 if you can. I'm going to speed run the next few slides because I want to get to the scripture. I mean, I know that this is like the meat. I want to get to the...
1:39:32 Okay, you're going to... Hold on. Yep, yep, yep. Okay, so here's the Project 2025 team. And as we saw before, it had mentioned that these are all Heritage Foundation members. So it's pretty much... I mean, it's called Project 2025, but realistically, this is just an all big initiative from the Heritage Foundation. And it's just kind of a new buzz term that's being put out there. So next slide, please. The Heritage Foundation, which is just here. Heritage's mission is to formulate and promote public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. Okay, so next slide, please. We have here, this is a list of some of their notable achievements. So among the notable achievements, you're going to notice Reagan's name popping up a couple of times, which makes sense. Reagan... Is a conservative figurehead. I mean, he's like the guy, is Ronald Reagan, especially with the amount of popularity he had. But you see down here, the Trump administration is mentioned as one of his notable achievements. The Trump administration's embrace of 64% of heritage policy prescriptions through its annual budget, regulatory guidance, or other actions. So he followed along with it, maybe as closely as he could. You know, Eric, you mentioned before that he had some swampers were in his cabinet. Maybe that prevented him from going even higher. I mean, you know, 64%, that's a majority, but it's still an F, if I remember my academic days. Not quite a passing grade, but it's okay. It's still a notable achievement.
1:41:24 Let's go to the next slide, please. This is what I wanted to talk about. So if we can format this or cite it. Size this up in whatever way possible. We're seeing a lot about a conservative victory. And you don't have to guess who they're talking about. This is why we brought up Donald Trump to begin with. Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. And if you look here, by just based off of these polls, you have him winning the majority of them. There are three that says, oh, this could go to Biden. By... I don't know. However many points, whatever. The polls, pollsters have really embarrassed themselves in the past. But this is the next one I wanted to take a look at. So look what happens when you factor in third parties. Oh, all of a sudden, where is that? It's a big red block of Donald Trump. And he is now ahead by almost four percentage points. And he is only top with Joe Biden in one poll. But you see here, the other... There's been really heavily. You have RFK. That's Kennedy right there. And he's... We've covered him a little bit on here. He's got as an energy force and all sorts of interesting stuff. He has a Roman Catholic background. So perhaps he's in some way splitting the vote. He's probably taking away from both Biden and Trump. But I imagine that there's a good amount of Democrats who are kind of sick of what's going on with Joe Biden. And this is incredibly cool that he's not getting back into politics. And they're jumping on the Kennedy train. We also have Gloria Stein, that would be, and then Conall West is the other candidate there.
1:43:10 So you see, once we add these guys into the equation, Donald Trump is now walking away with the presidency. And you can anticipate him being the one to implement Project 2025. Wow. For someone who doesn't follow politics that close, this is really surprising. I didn't... We've got some time left, so we can think about it from the perspective of... Okay. But we are only doing one so far. Okay. I didn't realize it was that, I mean, for number one, I didn't even know that we were down to the wire yet and deciding this, it's only between this many people. But I, wow, I'm just speechless. I'm looking at the polls here already. That's really concerning and exciting at the same time because it means we're going home. I mean, let me take a step back and go, we don't know the future. But we do know that a lot of things are lining up in the exact same way that I would suspect they would.
1:44:08 It's very possible that we are the last generation. That's really exciting. Anyway, let's continue. So that we've had. Well, so go ahead. I was going to say it's significant that I have a thought. And of course, if you've viewed. If you're viewing this through a purely earthly lens without any type of biblical insight into it, and you look at what's going on now and what Trump is going through, it's like you would think of why is the left doing what they're doing to Donald Trump? Because everything that they do only makes him stronger in the polls and makes and galvanizes his base. And so the things that I've heard is like, oh, well, they're just stupid or they hate Trump so much. That they just can't help themselves. But I think of another aspect is if you wanted to get Trump into office, I wouldn't do anything differently than what they're doing right now, because everything they're doing is is essentially proving his point and giving him support.
1:45:16 So if part of the plan is to get him in office, you can't come out and say, and especially on the left one, you know, there's this what's deceiving and being deceived. It's your one of your favorites, Matthew. What's the verse? So in Satan's system, you know, you might be on say you're furthering Satan's agenda and you don't even know it. You're just furthering your own agenda. It's a very, you know, the people who are in they call useful idiots. I mean, Satan loves useful pawns and useful idiots who do his bidding and they don't even realize it. And so you can't come out and say, hey, we're on the left and we're trying to get Trump into office. But, you know, Satan's Machiavellian, he's manipulating all this. That could be part of it. It's just like make things so bad that it's like even people. Who would have voted for Biden get to the point where like, no, I'm voting for Trump. But there's another point you brought up about the third party candidate that bears mentioning is since we don't know, like you said, it could go either way.
1:46:12 And one of the ways it could go either way is Robert F. Kennedy is junior, is taking votes primarily from Biden, like Trump supporters or Trump supporters. They're not going for any Democrat regardless. He's taking votes from Biden. But the thing is, in the United States, you need 270 electoral votes. To win the presidency. If neither candidate gets 270, 270 votes, it goes, I think, to the House of Representatives. And so where if you have a slim and there's things happening in the House of Representatives or there's Republicans leaving before their term ends. And there's a very real possibility that before the election takes place, it turns into Democrat control. And that basically a president would be appointed that could not be Trump. So there is the pot. I'm only saying this to to highlight the fact that even though it looks like it's going in one direction right now, there are still plenty of opportunities at the last minute to just take it in a completely unexpected direction.
1:47:13 So we can't get fixated on what we think might happen or, you know, our hopes of like, oh, I want it to come soon. And like, you know, we want Jesus. Yes, we all want Jesus to come. But we just need to pay attention to things as they happen and stay focused on Christ. Yeah. The point of that. So fascinating. Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. And by the way, that verse that Eric was mentioning comes from Second Timothy 313 in reference to the last days. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. So those evil men and seducers, they are deceiving humanity. However, they themselves are being deceived. You have to ask by who? Who are they being deceived by? Well, they're deceiving. They're deceiving themselves, but they're being deceived by the fallen angels, by the evil spirits filling their minds with all of this nonsense, saying you can have eternal life by following us when they don't have eternal life to give.
1:48:18 Not as immortal, but God can give that everlasting life to whosoever he chooses. And we're going to we're going to now point to God. God's word, because we've had enough. We've we go into it. We look at the world and we have to look into the world. It's necessary. It's not something that, as Eric was saying, that we can get fixated on. All of a sudden, my whole worldview is based around the poles that we just looked at. No, no, no. This scripture is what we need as our rock. So first off, we have from Second Corinthians, chapter four, verses three through four. But if our gospel be. It is hid to them that are lost in whom the God of this world.
1:49:07 Keep in mind, it's a lowercase g have blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. So this is just looking at this here. Eric, I think you're muted. Yeah, the main point here is Satan is the God of this system. That's who it's talking about. This is not something. That Jesus Christ does is blinding the minds of this is so we have to keep in mind that Satan's allowed to have a measure of just like he was allowed to test Job. He was he's allowed to have a measure of authority here. So when we're looking at politics that behind the scenes, the principalities are under Satan's control. That's who's manipulating things. Yeah, I get nothing to say.
1:50:01 That's exactly it. Cool. All right. Next piece of scripture we have comes out of Revelation. And this is Revelation 16 for for they are the spirits of devils working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. So again, here we have the kings of the earth and of the whole world. That's who are the kings of the earth modern day. You might look around and say. Well, you know monarchies have pretty much done away with there are very very many monarchies left the oldest standing monarchy by the way happens to be the papacy just going to throw that out there an elected monarch but a monarch nonetheless and the the kings of the world of the earth you could consider those to be leaders people with great political power. That's what a king is a king could command the the political entities to. And do what they wanted to do and what they want to do is follow the spirits of these devils who, as it says here in the scripture, are working miracles. That's why when we say these miracles are going to take place.
1:51:21 I think it's such a shame. You have some people who are fixated on miraculous events and they say, no, if it's miraculous, it's of God. And only God could do this this amazing stuff. And you know, I wish that were the case. But if you look into the scriptures, they can work miracles. Because the Romans were the people who did all the miracles. You know, there was this man named Joseph who's one of them and that's what he did. And he's one of them and he does all the miracles. And he does all the miracles. to deceive right that's the end of that god will work a miracle strictly for your benefit and you'll turn around and you don't look jesus healed 10 lepers right that was a miracle you know what happened nine of them walked away and didn't say a word the tenth said thank you to jesus did jesus suddenly snap his fingers and leprosy struck those nine who hadn't thanked him no they went on healthy as can be because he's working these miracles and it's for the benefit of humanity he's a healer he's a loving loving god and he wants he i'm sure that he wants acknowledgement and to be told thank you but as you mentioned earlier in the broadcast brad he's not going to solicit it from you he's not going to squeeze it from you and say whoa whoa before you go don't you have something to say worse than me you yeah exactly it's it's of your own volition you can choose to worship god well and and also what so what one to me this there's no exceptions here given for it's the kings of the earth there's not like a king or some of the kings it just says the kings of the earth and what are they being gathered together to do battle of that great day of god almighty who wins that fight like what side are the king first what side of the kings of the earth are the kings the earth on according to god's word not his side so that includes the government of the united states the russian federation the people's republic of china like everybody is going to be united against the return of jesus christ except for god's people and you know it's you know it says it's right there that god almighty almighty like there's no guessing it's his day it's his great day yeah it's not theirs uh and that's an interesting thing because you just saying that it really it clicked with me yeah this these are the kings of the earth and i can already i can already think that you know this is where my mind went well what about there's got to be some people there's got to be some people like uh nebuchadnezzar for example he was king of babylon right i mean he turned to god and he had some but what happened with nebuchadnezzar right he gave up the throne he abdicated the throne and was no longer king of babylon when the medo-persian empire came in and crushed the babylonians so he wasn't considered these are the kings of the earth at this point in time if there is anyone and that's why i'm saying i'm not trying to bash anybody uh donald trump or if joe biden gets a second term or eric like erica saying it could be a total wild card that person could have a change of heart they could repent they could come to god fully but what's going to happen is they're going to lose their political power they're they're no longer going to be considered a king of the earth at this point in time because they've chosen to side with god almighty pretty cool concept i think and like speaking of nebuchadnezzar well speaking of nebuchadnezzar we have nebuchadnezzar's dream featured in this next piece of scripture from um do you not have that piece of scripture which one's the uh slide 20 daniel 2 let me see that is uh what happened to it i can't play it for some reason um let me see if i can get it that says error okay i was probably transferring it the same time that you were sending it to me let me try to pull it in this way right again cool yep so this is from taken from nebuchadnezzar's dream and uh daniel is able to give the interpretation thanks to god it's really cool because if you read the second chapter uh daniel gives glory to god he doesn't unlike uh some of the other soothsayers or whatever doesn't claim oh i've got the power
1:55:42 to interpret dreams now there's a god in heaven that can make these dreams known and daniel as his servant is able to bring the vision to him and in the days of these kings shall the god of heaven set up a kingdom by the way the days of these kings it's talking about the uh miry clay mixed with iron the end of time the bottom of this the statue that's described I'm kind of given our audience the benefit of the doubt here they have some background of this if you haven't read Daniel 2 please go ahead and do it it is fascinating yeah yes which shall so sorry let's say god of heaven will set up the feet of my replay and iron by the way yeah spoiler alert just just to get you excited about it set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed and the kingdom shall not be left to other people but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever so what is going to happen to the United States right you have you can go ahead and put the Pledge of Allegiance next to God's Word go ahead and put the Constitution Declaration of Independence whatever you want put it next to it but the United States is one of the kingdoms of the United States and the United States is one of the kingdoms of the United States and the United States is one of the kingdoms that breaks into peace or that sorry not breaks into pieces that uh that is destroyed at the end of time there isn't going to be a United States of America and wherever you're from Australia I know we got some people out in Australia Canada I know that we've got some people from South Africa who have talked to us everyone I know we've got an international audience so whatever government is in place I know that we're talking about the United States here because this is where we live we live and I do think the United States is significant in terms of Prophecy but that's a that's another topic for another night it is going away and it is going to be replaced by the government of God which shall stand forever so pledge your Allegiance to God Almighty that's my advice go ahead Eric and the very next verse of this by the way is as for as much as thou saws that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it break in pieces the iron the brass the clay the silver and the gold the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter and the dream is certain and the interpretation thereof is true it is and the interpretation thereof sure so that what is being described is the rock in God's Kingdom with Jesus Christ as King hits the feet of iron and clay that's the last human government to exist but it destroys the entire statue that's the entire legacy of human rulership on this planet because the statues start you know Babylon at the head you know it was Nebuchadnezzar you're the head of gold and it went down through those empires there's no part of Satan's system that Christ when he gets here is like oh that's pretty good we're going to keep that and polish that up and keep that going through eternity like this is an entirely corrupted planet you know like the genetics is corrupt the the ground is cursed that human humankind is under the control of Satan through all of these various entertainment politics he's getting rid of all of it he's taking his servants to be caught up with him in the air as first Thessalonians tells us and then everything else is going to be destroyed so the idea of Christian nationalism and I I've I've thought of this often I don't think I've ever even brought it up you know let's just say for a moment that by us getting involved in the politics of this world we could improve the situation somehow may take us back to like I don't know what year you would you pick like 1950.
1:59:26 What year are you would you pick like 1950. 17 you know 90 whatever you know some constant some play time when the united states constitution it was like okay we're living by the ideals of and things are better right well say we did that what have we just done we've just delayed the return of jesus christ because he's he's told us he is not coming when things are good when things are getting better if things are going to get so bad that if he didn't come no flesh would be saved so it's not like we're cheering on or we're like oh yeah we can't wait for things to get worse it's gonna suck honestly i'm not especially looking forward to the things that we are going to have to live through and the things that we're going to see but we have to be looking beyond that because right on the other side like you said matt what happens when you put god's people finally against it god intervenes he said he's going to i like this verse in daniel you know the the dream is certain you know the the dream is certain and the dream is certain and the dream is certain and the interpretation thereof is sure. God's promise is there are things written in the Bible written as if they've already happened because from God's perspective, that's how sure it is. So the idea of the whole very concept of nationalism or Christian nationalism and somehow bringing the United States back into be a Christian nation, it's a false hope. And actually, I think, doesn't that lead into our next scripture, Matthew?
2:00:50 Yes, certainly. Let's bring it up. I had another piece of scripture. Oh, maybe not. No, it leads into the one after that. Let's see if I can find it. No, this is the last scripture. Which one is it? Well, I added another one. It should be John. Which other one? Eric, he was handing me scriptures here like 20 minutes before we did a sound check. One of them may have gotten lost in the wash. I will bring up... I'm bringing up Psalm 37, though, because what you were saying reminded me of that, where, well, just when God's people are oppressed like that, it starts, Awesome promise, right? I love stuff like that. I mean, when I read that, what ease does that put me at? Because the Bible, it's true. Like you said, Eric, the suffering aspect of it, and knowing that it's a time of trouble unlike the world has ever seen before, you know, that can be very frightening. That can be very disconcerting.
2:02:07 But then you read a couple of verses like that, and all of a sudden, I trust in the Lord, you know? It can't be that bad if I've got God providing for me and looking out for me. That even... Even should I suffer death, I trust Him to raise me at the last day. I have... I have full trust in Him. When it comes to that, it's amazing. I mean, I love God so much. And it's all through the reassurances that are given in Scripture. You know, it's not just like something that I decided to come up with to make myself feel better about dying. It's just layers upon layers of reassurance and hope. Hope of resurrection. Hope of... Hope of a new earth. Hope that will be delivered from this terrible place. But, Eric, what was the... Because I have John lined up next. John 18.
2:03:01 Yeah. Well, then there's another Psalm. So you want it? But... Well, what is it? I'll look it up. Was it John... Yeah, Psalms 146.3. Anyway, yeah, you can go to John. I mean... Did we read this earlier in the broadcast? Or did we read this together off-air? Did we write it together off-air, right? That's why. We were off-air. I'm seeing it. Okay. So... Yeah. Yeah, put not your trust in princes nor in the Son of Man in whom there is no help. So Donald Trump is not going to help us. You know, another politician is... Javier Millet is not going to help. He cannot save you. The Pope cannot save you. Like, we are all humans on this planet. We are all sinners in need of a Savior. The solution is Jesus Christ, full stop. Yeah.
2:03:54 And for this final verse, just to really hammer it home, this is the John verse I'm looking for. We've got... Is that it? In John's Gospel, Jesus... It is. Here it is. So Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews. But now is my kingdom not from hence. And that's John 18, 36. What do you think, Eric? Did you want to weigh in on that at all? Well, yeah. I mean, does it get any better? I mean, Jesus Christ is saying that there's no earthly kingdom that Jesus is going to come down and rule through. That's not... You know, you couple that with the verse in Daniel.
2:04:49 He's coming to... It's funny. There's like a dipsy-do flip-a-roo, as Dan Bongino would say. I love that term. It's a great term. But it's like the people who were around for when Christ first came were expecting him to come how he's going to come when he comes again. They were expecting the judgment and him to come in power, but that's not how he was. He was the suffering Messiah. And people now these days seem to be focusing on how he was when he first came, which is the very gentle, very... He's always loving, but it's like he was trying to guide people to him. And it's like this... Wires are crossed. There's no talk of judgment like we mentioned before, Brad. And so, yeah, that's... He's coming to destroy. He's coming to destroy.
2:05:36 He's coming to destroy. He's coming to destroy. He's coming to destroy. He's coming to destroy. He's coming to destroy. Which includes the United States and China and Russia and all of these, you know, the papal empire. That's what... You know, so there's no hope in that. Yeah, I agree. And the cool thing is, like I was saying before, we have an expectation of what to look forward to. It's true. We may have... Unfortunately, we've had to become intimately familiar with the kingdoms of this earth. And all of the terrible baggage and issues that that comes with. But the kingdom of God is going to be so wonderful. When the government is upon the shoulders of Jesus Christ and all of the evil has been swept away, man, it's like, what is in store for us?
2:06:32 We're going to have the best time. Oh, I can't wait. I'm never going to put my head down on a pillow and worry about tomorrow. I was going to bring... I'm just going to be sleeping like a baby every night. It's just... Everything's perfectly fine. So, that was tonight's program. So, thank you. Thank you for tuning in here, folks. Very good. Very, very good. How's everybody doing in the chat tonight? Everybody's doing... doing pretty... We're all eagerly awaiting. The second coming of Jesus Christ. I think there's something... There's some setting on my... where I can only see subscribers. I don't know how to turn that off or what that video is. Oh, it's at the top. It says top chat. You can go to live chat. But there is...
2:07:25 Then you can see more. But at the same time, the top chat... I don't know. It's a weird setting. But I did filter it so that you can only see... that you can only post if you're a subscriber because that gets rid of a lot of the riffraff that doesn't care about subscribing. Some rabble rousers coming into... Yeah, and I don't care if people have... Well, because people are having conversations and responding to people. I wasn't seeing the original post and I was like, what is going on here? So, okay. That's YouTube for you. Just making it as difficult as possible. Sure. To do anything. See, if we're on Rumble, Rumble doesn't do that. Oh. We will be. Big rumbler. Let me push that real quick. Soon we will be on all platforms. Facebook, Twitter, or... whatever it's called. And...
2:08:13 Let's see. What else is there? All the things. We're going to be on all the things because that's what the marketing company I hired decided they wanted me to do is to be on all the things. And so, lots of big things are coming out of that. But I want everyone to understand to hang in there because the company's on board with the agenda here but we're going to be presenting... We're going to be doing some tests to see just how we can push this channel forward. And so, if you think, wow, that's a unique thing to say on a super... Not super chat. AS short or what do they call them? Reels? TikToks? It's going to be unique for a little while because we're trying to see how we can bring in more people. You've got to do... What do they call it when you're in an evangelistic series? You have something called the bridge event. A bridge event is talking about health or talking about something that's important to the community.
2:09:10 Which brings people to the program. So, I'm just saying this is going to get fun and it's going to get unique. I'm going to talk about all kinds of stuff. Project White Coat which is a lesser known interesting conspiracy that actually did happen in the government involving... Well, you'll just have to see. Look it up if you want. Project White Coat. And we're going to talk about Aberfoil. Is that Sunday? No. Is that Sunday's broadcast? This is going to be some short I'm going to be producing. They've already sent me a today and a document. They said we filled it all out. They want you to present this. We'll edit them and then we're going to present it on the channel. So, these are some content is what you're saying. It's not stuff that's it's some original content is what's coming up. So, it's not going to be stuff that's just taken from the live streams.
2:10:01 So, that's great news. Everybody who's watching or, you know, live or recorded, whatever. If you see those shorts pop up, be sure to click on them because it's going to be stuff that you haven't seen before. And I know that in the past we've put out some shorts and some clip montages of the live broadcast. But this stuff is going to be stuff you haven't seen before. So, it's fresh for you to engage with. That's exciting. I'm going to be on the lookout for it myself. Don't tell me anything. I want to be, I like surprise. It's usually how we run the show. You know, Brad might tell me, oh, we're going to do a little bit of this or a little bit of that. I'm like, okay, don't tell me. I don't want to look at the clips. I just want to see it on air because I like to be on the same level as everybody else that way. Absolutely. Yeah, just to end to what everybody's palette for this week. I, yeah, man, there's just so much stuff out there to cover and honestly condensing it and getting it down to a point where like, okay, here's the show.
2:11:06 This is what we're going with. Let's roll. Next, Thursday and I'm hoping it's Thursday if all things are going on track but just, you know, keep an eye out for any notifications but I'm going to be talking about the Pope. We're going to talk about the Pope stuff and I know people like when we talk about the Pope because, yeah, he is a controversial figure to be sure but yeah, do some Pope talk and not to give away too much but there's a prophecy that surrounds Pope Francis that it's a Catholic prophecy it's not necessarily a biblical prophecy although you know, you could maybe lump him in with a couple of Bibles he's like kings of the earth could be among their number but yes, we'll talk about some of that. You're breaking up pretty bad math Matt tonight but it's getting worse and worse. You're breaking up. Yeah, well, you know why? Maybe you want me to talk about the Pope. Oh, no, bad mouthing the Pope? I'm gonna, you know, I'll just tell it like it is. There you go.
2:12:13 I'm not too worried. It's coming. They're sitting there with the button. They're like, oh, he's talking about the Pope again. Turn him off, turn on, turn off, turn on. Yeah, well, we'll see but very good. I want to mirror, I guess mirror, I want to tell Hans, thank you so much for being our one of our mods tonight. He says, join us on Patreon. Patreon.com slash strange normal if you decide to join the teacher tier or above, you can also gain access to our 24-7 Discord private community, chat community. See you there. And I do want to tell you about that. Jonathan, I want to respond to you. It says, is there any Starfall 2 coming out at some point too? I remember hearing about it. Yes, and the reason why that's so delayed is because I've not had a facility where I can do that. Originally in California I had that and we had built that out and that, you know, it was very exciting.
2:13:10 But the structure's up. I'm building on my property. We just moved and I guess it's TMI but we moved from one area of town 30 minutes away to be more out into the middle of nowhere which is probably why the stream is having so much trouble tonight which I'm a little concerned about. But on the same property we're building and I'm going to be it's going to be partly a studio that we're going to be able to film some fun stuff in. So, Matthew, I'm hoping you can come out and Eric, you're welcome too and maybe we'll do some stuff together. Yeah, that'd be great. You can count me in. Cool. I'll be down. You say the word. We'll have some fun for sure. Yeah, I see people are asking about my canopy. Now, that's the funny thing.
2:14:03 Your cantaloupe? The new camera. You're breaking up so bad. Oh, my camera. My camera? Hello? Okay. I'm talking about my camera, which, yeah, was the source of many headaches. I'm getting a replacement camera, so I'm not buying a new one. And the basically, you got to send in what you've got and then they send you back a new one, which I don't know if it's like top priority or whatever. Anyway, it'll probably be here within the next two weeks or so. I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. I've been kind of digging around a little bit for one of my old web camera, so I won't come through in HD, but it'd be something. I don't know. People really want to see me that badly.
2:14:51 I mean, I'll work something out for you. We could always put a picture or something. I know I joked before. I see it's a resolution of a potato. Potato resolution? Yeah. A toaster. I've heard that one before. yeah, maybe we'll do a virtual little avatar, you know, a virtual Matthew. Would you like that? You mean the metaverse? Yeah. We'll do a program in the metaverse. That way everyone can all throw stuff at me as I present. That'd be fun. Do whatever. Let's go skiing. Eason says, make Matthew visible again. That's great. Yeah. Oh, yeah, don't worry. You can hear me, but you'll be safe for too long. We'll all be good. Cool. Anyway, well, tonight, tonight was a lot of fun.
2:15:51 Eric, is there anything else you want to say? Any inputs or anything in the chat that you were grabbing hold of? No, I think I talked a lot this evening, so I'm good. I loved it. It was good. Yeah. Never enough. We could always use more. Yeah. Well, guys, since, this is the end of the program, I would like to close in prayer. Eric, since you haven't been on that recently, would you like to pray us out? Sure. Heavenly Father, we thank you for the opportunity that we still have at this time to come freely together and discuss things that are happening currently in the world in the light of your word. And we thank you so much for giving us your word that we have the opportunity to not be deceived and that we can make sense of what's going on around us so that our hearts will not faint or fail us out of fear. So we ask that your Holy Spirit be upon not only us, but those viewing this program and all those who are searching for answers.
2:16:53 We ask that you draw us all to you and to the light and truth of your word. Help us to understand it and help us to not be deceived or taken in by Satan's deceptions. He's prepared so many that appeal to all of us. We ask that you help keep all of us focused on you, that, that we may share in salvation and see each other again and enjoy each other's company for eternity and enjoy getting to know you and the plan of salvation that you have laid out. It's so, there's so many layers to it. It's so complex and it's so wonderful. We thank you for everything you've done for us, especially coming down to die for us and sacrifice your life so that we do, so that we can be with you in eternity. Again, we ask for your Holy Spirit to bless us and bless this broadcast and bless other ministries as well that are talking about different things in relation to these end time events. There are so many doing your will. We ask that you bless all of them and the seeds that they're sowing. In Jesus Christ's name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Beautiful. Well, that'll about do it. This has been an episode of Fireside.
2:18:07 You draw close to God and he'll draw close to you. Get cozy by the fireside. Thank you. We love you and good night. Good night. And we're clear.
