0:04 Two days ago, on August 26, a giant glacier collapsed in Tibet. It caused a 5.2 magnitude earthquake and sent rubble and water and ice rolling down the hill faster than anyone could even imagine. It was a terrible tragedy. I want to talk a little bit about that today, because I think a lot of people are going to wonder, what exactly happened here? Why do things happen like this? And what does the Bible say about this? Because this is the whole point of this channel, to show the strange things that happen in your daily life, to give you a biblical understanding of what is going on. And I want to open to talk a little bit about it. Here's some facts behind it. 72 kilometers of the river. So far, we've had about 469 dead, 1,500 unaccounted for. About 90 of those are from my country, the United States of America.

1:03 And there are roughly about 700 foreigners that had died from it. One of the biggest places that was unfortunately wiped off the map was a building that was built about 10 years ago. It was the place that borders China and this area, Nepal. And it was this building right here, completely wiped off the map. And you can see that either it came down from this way or this way. I don't believe it came down from this way because video shows. And I'm not going to show you everything because there's videos online that are awful. People carrying away half carcasses and pieces of digits and things like this that are awful. I've excluded those videos so that they are at least palatable for this episode. But it is a terrible tragedy.

2:01 Imagine a 10, 12-story building that is just... Gone. You actually get to see the wave come over it as it's wiped off the map. It's awful. But, you know, I think there is some understanding in this that we can understand as humans on what actually is happening here. Let's watch a couple of these clips right here. I'm going to bring up my notes so I know where I am. I don't just start rambling about this because it's pretty important. First of all, let's talk a little bit about... About the grief behind this because I think it's important to understand this. Jesus wept. It says that. It's the shortest verse in the Bible is those two words. That's in John 11, 35. Jesus had sorrow. So it's not a sin. It's not a problem to feel sorry for something, especially if you have loss. There's going to be people watching this that have had loss out of this area in the country.

2:59 There's going to be even more people that have been to this area and that have seen these areas. And it's a terrible tragedy. But more than that, let me show you exactly what's happening through the news. Enough of me talking. Here's a clip. This story is just... It's unbelievable. The numbers right now, at least 273 people are dead. More than 1,300 are missing. That's an estimate. That number includes at least 65 Americans. Those numbers all expected to go up after a massive flood in Nepal. Not far from here. Not far from the Chinese border. Something called a glacial collapse triggered an avalanche. And then all of that water had to go somewhere. So it went through these valleys there in Nepal. Highest country by elevation by far on the planet.

3:49 Imagine seeing a wall of water 150 feet tall coming at you at 120 miles an hour. But for whatever reason, tonight this story is not getting the attention that it should. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posting today that we... He wrote, are united in prayer for the Nepali people following the devastating floods. The U.S. State Department stands by ready to support the government of Nepal with humanitarian assistance. At least 65 Americans are still missing. I don't get why this is not getting more attention. This is a huge story. Dan Hovey is the vice president of global emergency response. He's working with people on the ground in Nepal. Brian Stern is chairman and founder of Gray Bull Resonance. They're working to rescue. Gentlemen, great to have you both on. Dan, you're working with two relief groups inside Nepal to try and rescue people and get them out. The clock's ticking.

4:44 Are you surprised this story is not getting the attention it probably should? 65 Americans are missing here, yet this is like the third story on the nightly news tonight? And I don't care if it's not getting the attention it deserves. I think that you've seen what's going on here. I want to turn our attention quickly over to... I think Luke, I have set up here. Let me see if I have that. I have a few other news articles I'll show you here, but I'm going to show you this first. This was a tragedy that happened, and Jesus was asked about it in his day. A lot of people think that they were just mud huts that these people lived in. They were building towers. Luke 13, 1-5 says, There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

5:38 Oh man, is this not the verse? And Jesus answered them and said, Suppose ye that the Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things. I tell you nay, but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. So this isn't about the tower yet, but it is saying, hey look, there's going to become a big tragedy. It's the return of Christ. It's when Satan decides to flip the checkers board or the chess board, as we call earth. Something big is happening, and God's going to save us from that. But we have to be in compliant with what he's doing. Otherwise, he's not able to do that due to the rules of engagement that have happened. God saves and the devil kills.

6:28 It says that in John 10, 10, that there was the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and that was Satan. But Jesus says, I come that they might have life, and that they might have life more abundantly. Another verse I was thinking about was John 8. This is, it says, ye are of your father the devil. This is him talking to the Pharisees. And the lusts of your father. Ye will do. He was a murderer. And who is the father that he's talking about here? Not God, but he has said, the Pharisees are the sons, basically, of the father, the devil. Because that's what they're doing, the bidding of him. And he says, the devil was a murderer from the very beginning.

7:18 And abode not with the truth, but there is no truth in him. Let's watch another clip real quick. I think it's another clip that is showing this exact location. That you saw just earlier. This is the difference between the two. Completely gone. I don't like the music behind here. I'm going to cut it off, I think. You don't need all that drama. I got my own drama. I don't need drama in my life. But I think this is a terrible tragedy that happened. Look how it came through this entire space and wiped all this stuff off the map. This isn't the only one. Look how easy it is to trigger some of these. Now this isn't the same location. But this is showing that just one person trying to get across this mountain can trigger a whole landslide trying to get over there.

8:12 And that's kind of not what exactly happened here. But we're going to show you. This is the very beginning of this tragedy. I wish I could zoom this in a little bit. I'm going to have a better video here coming up. And it's probably best you don't see everything here. Because it's pretty tragic. You can see that the flood comes out down the hill and envelops the town right here. I'm going to skip that. You can see someone from up high seeing it come down the river here. And they're saying, hey, hey, hey. Help, help, help. Trying to tell people to get away from this thing that's coming after them. And this is where the thumbnail is built from. Look at this.

9:04 Look at this. So it doesn't seem too bad at first. But it gets worse and worse and worse. And now it's over the bridge. And takes the bridge away. So this area is familiar with this type of stuff. And so it's not like it was a... But this one was a big surprise to them. Because their early warning systems didn't alert them this time. And so no one was expecting this. According to the news. Which was tragic. And so you can see the beginnings of this whole thing.

10:06 Even the dam. I think this is the same area. This is me. I'm flipping through trying to find the videos of this. And it just envelops this dam. I'm going to skip ahead a little bit so you can see. There it comes through the dam now. Skip ahead to this one too. And this is from up top. You can see it coming down. Incredible shots. Of it coming down. I'm going to go ahead so you can see it. Kind of go a little faster here. And it looks like it's almost in slow motion. Doesn't it? Because watch this. I'm going to make it full screen here. So you can see it as much as it can. But see it looks like this is like little explosions.

11:02 And really fast paced. I mean really slow paced. But it's really happening really fast down there. All those buildings on the right, gone. So it really hits home when you hear that verse that says that we just read in Luke 13. And it says Jesus answered and said unto them Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans because they suffered such things? And they said, I said I tell you nay but except ye repent ye shall likewise perish. Terrible stuff that's happening. I don't tell you this to give you fear. God is the ultimate protector. There's been amazing things that I've heard of in mission stories where a mission family who's focused on what God wants us to do.

12:25 I mean and this doesn't have to just be in another country. This can be in your own country because I believe that things are going to happen in all countries soon. But I remember one story of seeing a flood like this one come at them and they've taken their whole family and putting it right behind a rock and the entire everything is moved. All these rocks are moved except for this one and it gives them a little bubble that goes completely around them and all the natives are like how did you survive this? We don't understand. God can protect us. And I'm not saying again these people are not protected by God but there is some interesting talking points that we can pull out of this which I'm going to go back to real quick. That was John 10 we just talked about. Alright, so let's cut to this. This is from the Great Controversy.

13:36 It says in accidents and calamities by sea and land in great conflagrations in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms in tempest floods, cyclones tidal waves and earthquakes in every place and in a thousand forms Satan is exercising his power. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. So this is how it started. This is how it started up in the top up here. These are big pieces of ice and this town is really high in the mountains but these giant pieces of ice do melt and you can't go to one news article and not hear something about global warming or climate change as they change the name of it.

14:41 So I'm going to flip to the next video there. As these things melt giant chunks of them come off and sometimes they get lodged between the two mountains and then they form a big lake. When the ice melts you can see these giant lakes that form up there. If something breaks and all of a sudden the whole lake breaks open then things happen. A little more imagery of what it is here. Full screen. Beautiful, beautiful blue glaciers but all that blue is where it's broken off. Skip ahead a little bit and see that. I'm going to turn it up for this guy.

15:48 See this beautiful lake right here high in the mountains yeah ice dam once that bursts those villages of Tagnac and Kote are going to be in big, big trouble and by big trouble I mean they're going to be erased. These high glacial lakes are really pretty but they pose a giant threat to all these villages down river especially the ones that are on the river you get the glacial outburst things are going to be pretty bad, real bad yeah pretty bad and it was pretty bad and so this was obviously beforehand See this beautiful lake right here and he talked about it I'm not sure if that was the exact situation or that's the exact location even I don't know my geography that well for Tibet but I'm going to show you this next video that's not in English so I'm going to turn it down because I don't understand it but he does a good job of visually explaining things so you can see that this lake small lake has a lot of water in it and when it breaks free especially in the summertime when it's warmer it releases all that water and it all comes down the hill just as if you were to make a pool in the sand out of all that stuff and here's another guy explaining it a lot of people want to know there's all the mountains behind and they have these lakes back there beautiful lakes but again you can see a break and it'll come all the way down the hill and erase some of these places one of the places that like I showed you at the beginning was built right in the middle of of the border like this place right here I just showed you at the beginning I won't show you that video again it's pretty awful you can find it for yourself online I'm sure it's the one being played over and over but it was erased off the bedrock in a matter of seconds gone China appears to have started here at this mountain top in northern Nepal take a look at this satellite image captured after the landslide and reviewed by CNN you can see where scientists believe a chunk of a glacier sheared off the mountain leading to a massive landslide of ice and rocks that caused intense shaking the falling rock and ice carved a 3,000 foot wide 4 mile long gash into the slope below it all the way down to the river the flood would run along this is massive this is something that we have not seen quite often just the flood wave the amount of water that was gushing through these valleys is going to have a major impact for significant amount of the time down the road are still investigating exactly how the landslide triggered such a large current as the flooding tore through several locations this security camera footage at the Nepal-China border captured flood waters overrunning the crossing including a 5 story building and further downstream you can see people running to higher ground as they try to escape the heavy flood waters also ran right through residential areas along the riverbed and in other locations in the middle of infrastructure like this video that shows the water breaking apart an entire bridge and sweeping it into the current we can't pinpoint to one incident and say that climate change caused this particular incident but it would be foolish to ignore the role of climate change in any of these events

20:06 the climate change role has been clear in terms of warming the slopes and melting the glaciers in that region and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they uh who who was it that guy that says he invented the internet said he did he uh that this whole started that whole climate change thing it became global warming then it became climate change um i see comments saying that yet this started because an earthquake they don't know i i i saw two articles uh they said that that there was an earthquake that sheared off this thing and they also said that this thing sheared off and caused an earthquake so they don't know exactly what happened but regardless it's been my belief on this channel that this whole climate change thing is a an evolutionary way to explain what the bible predicts is going to happen at the end of time with matthew 24 events happening uh more and more rapidly and and have we talked about that as bible prophecy as the the earth waxes old like garment as the bible says and so there's this will happen by the way i want to tell you guys that uh and to try to make a little bit lighter out of this whole thing we are continually as as a bible-based channel to improve in people's understanding of the bible we are creating a bible school and so we already have 42 lessons that teach uh the principles found in my church 28 fundamental beliefs and i need helpers those who know the bible maybe your pastor maybe you're a student of the bible and you want to see if uh and help us further our studies a little bit better we would love your help email me bradley at strange normal.org uh and you can you can help us continue to do this we we've got this site up already it's got a great domain on it already we're going to talk more about that as time moves on but a lot of people are coming to me and saying you know this is amazing stuff you're talking about these biblical events that are happening right now how can i understand the bible a little bit better and this is a way i want to further that cause to bring people closer in line with the understanding that's truth uh in the bible and how we can have the right foundation so that we can make the right understanding of this stuff super important so one of the questions that people often ask me and this is part of the the program i have today is why doesn't god stop these tragedies what's going on here why why is this so terrible well let's go to um genesis 18 real quick because genesis 18 helps us understand this i got a lot of video clips before that let's see what we got here yeah oh that's the ones we saw with all the uh the clips of how it happens yeah i'm on track okay so this is genesis 18 um genesis 18 says and he said oh let not the lord be angry and i will speak yet but this once so what's going on here well god it's it's the prophet speaking to god remember back in the bible times he said god said hey i'm going to destroy this city and he said well what if there's some righteous people in it and god said look i'm not going to destroy if there's 50 45 40 30 20 10 god says yes every single time and i believe he would continue down to one and i'm not going to destroy it if there's one i wish the prophet actually pushed a little further and and asked him if he would destroy it for one person but uh i'm sure speaking to god and he him being humble as he was and possibly terrified uh didn't want to go that far and have god say uh anything else so god continues to say

25:08 all the way down that he wouldn't destroy this place uh if he could save one person but the problem is he couldn't save them and he's given them every opportunity to save them now that does that mean there wasn't anything anyone righteous in that city i don't think we can go that far because i put at the top of my notes here which got erased if you go to ecclesiastes have this memorized because it's really easy to remember ecclesiastes 9 11 isn't that interesting ecclesiastes 9 11 um it says here that uh solomon the smartest man in the bible uh in ecclesiastes says i have seen something else under the sun the race is not to to the swift or the battle to the strong nor does food come to the wise or wealthy of the brilliant or favor to the learned this is the key listen to this but time and chance happen to them all so could it be that um there wasn't a good way to save these people and that they were all sinners and it was it was terrible it was like sodom and gomorrah and they need to be wiped out than that yeah not likely this is a rural town it's a terrible tragedy it's more likely that time and chance happened to us all what is he saying here i believe he's saying look things happen tragedies happen terrible things happen it's not always caused by god we can't say well i don't know i don't know i don't know all we do is get us back up dead you know now all thatbild and all of that is just too things in efforts to tackle this tragedy this is just too malnourished to even fed up with some of us pretend that things aren't this is not a right or is it you know and you know once i'm done with rock extraordinarich but i can ready people with the ones with imap called people mock them for everyone who hat but it isn't the message that emperor made well that confession that he made was stolen that all these days uh that he sent him to some kind of church and they were to judge whatever they're saying you know that someday, but I'm confident that once we see the entire picture of things, we will know that it was for the best. It was for the ultimate purpose. So here's another verse I think we should think about. This is Genesis 19.32. I've got to get back to my notes here. All right. Genesis 19.32, 22, excuse me, says, hasten thee, escape thither, for I cannot do anything till thou become thither.

27:58 What was he talking about? This is Job, or excuse me, this is when the angels will leave, pulling him out of Sodom and Gomorrah. This is not Job. This is, forgive me, I can't remember the name of this guy. Lot. Why couldn't I remember that? It's the same, it's a three-letter name. Lot, when he was hurried by the angels, he said, look, pull me out. He said, you need to come out of here. We can't do anything to this place until you leave. So there's a good biblical understanding to say that God saves those who are having a relationship with him, and this is why it's so important. To have that relationship with God himself, because he will tell his own, and he will save them. Things happen fast, and this isn't anything to scare anybody, but things do happen. Matthew 24 says that, but as the days of Noah, back in the Bible times, so shall all shall be coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage until that day that Noah entered the ark and knew not until the flood came and took them away. It's almost, and I gotta say, watching these videos is super tragic, and I don't spend a lot of time on it, but looking at some of this stuff, I have to, I reflect on the flood itself, how people didn't know they were running from these floods that were just going to overtake them. And they were doing their best to do it. They were hiding in buildings. This happened at the flood, and they all perished. You couldn't do anything about it. In some instances, if you watch some of these videos, the entire building collapses, not down, but sideways on these people. It's pushed against the rock. And so, consequently, it's probably one of the better ways to go, because you are instantly dead, rather than having to drown.

30:19 And so, all this stuff that is happening, God is being merciful. And I can't prove it, and I'm not going to try, but I do think that there is some element of mercy here. God doesn't want anybody to suffer. So, when it is inevitable that they cannot escape, I think, and I think we're going to find out in heaven that God allows people not to suffer and cuts their life before they have to suffer through trying to keep it. I think about air crashes and all this other stuff that happens here. I'm getting phone calls I can't take right now. It also says here, in Genesis 7, 16, And they that went in, went in, male and female, of all flesh. And God had commanded him that the Lord shut him in. This is, again, at the ark. I talked a little bit about that already. In 2 Timothy 3, 1, it says, The word that is happening here is chalapos. I think it's in the original language. It appears only one other time in the New Testament. And it means exceedingly fierce. And I think it's Matthew, I think I put the next one up here, Matthew 8. Same word, exceedingly fierce.

31:51 They're met, him to possess with devils. This is when Jesus meets the devil-possessed man coming out from the tombs, exceedingly fierce. Same word, same word that is happening here. Perilous, perilous is this, is happening in this exceedingly fierce word that is used. So that no man might pass by. This is what happened to Jesus. And he said, so this, this whole thing, this whole thing that happens is, is a, a big deal. 1 Thessalonians 5, 3 says, safety is in, can happen in the, in the moment before. So it says, For when they shall say peace and safety, then shall sudden destruction come upon them, such as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. So it's not safety, that they, that, that, uh, they're not talking about safety before the, the destruction. They're saying that, um, in the, in the last days, there will be a time when people say peace and safety, peace and safety. Hey, we're safe. We have no more, no more troubles. But that's when, according to Bible prophecy, when God comes in the clouds and everything is closed up, the whole controversy that we've had, and we're the, the chosen, the ones who have maintained that relationship are taken.

33:24 So there are a few warnings about the future that I think that we should look at as well, because, um, this isn't, uh, this isn't over for, for the people in Tibet. They are saying that there is, uh, other things that are coming. Have a look. Nepal and China are warning of fresh flood risks as two lakes formed by debris on either side of the border threatened to burst. This comes as rescuers continue searching for more than 1,400 people still missing after catastrophic floods. Floods and landslides. The death toll in Nepal has now risen to 392 with entire villages swept away. Nepali police say 389 bodies have been recovered. Another 910 people are out of contact in Nepal, including 517 foreign tourists. In Tibet, three people have been killed and over 550 remain missing. There can be dead bodies buried underneath the rubble. The flood waters that flowed from above, there could be more. We can't say for sure right now, but we are working. Before and after satellite images show the scale of destruction with homes, roads, and bridges wiped out by a wall of ice, mud, and debris. Drone footage from the disaster zone shows entire settlements buried under thick layers of sludge.

34:58 Pause this incredible music. My goodness, that was loud. I couldn't find my, uh, my controls. Um, there they are. All right, there they are. There we go. So this is, uh, China has deployed to try to help them out as well, and so has America. But, um, as Trump said, we don't have a real good relationship with them. I'm going to play it again, so plug your ears. Turn it down a bit. But this, this almost looked AI to me. This, this thing that they deployed right off the back of this thing, a boat, and then it falls into the river as a way to float and try to find people. Um, and so they are, they are actively deploying. Trying to find, but there's basically no more water left because it's all gushed down the river and pushed everything out of its way. Um, this is the aftermath of, of the whole thing. You can see that, um, there's helicopters trying to go up to the top, trying to find if there's any, where it came from, how, how this whole thing happened, because it was a big surprise to these people. Move along a little bit here.

36:06 And there, this is another helicopter. And people are, are trying to grab these floating, barrels. What, what are these? Well, these are their cooking gas, so they can continue to eat. Um, and, um, they pop to the top of the river because they float. Um, so let's, let's continue on here a little bit. In Matthew 7, 24 through 27, uh, it says, Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house, and it fell not. For it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon sand. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the wind blew, and beat upon the house, and it fell, and great was the fall. So, the idea here is to, is to be founded on the rock. How do you found yourself on the rock? Well, you, you study what God says. Don't, don't rely on feelings. Don't rely on what you think God is impressing you to do. That is building your house upon sand. Don't do that. Um, we make a big emphasis on this channel because we have example after example that I've pulled out in previous.

38:03 I'm going to do a video about this soon, talking about feelings and how it's important that we, don't rely on it. I have so many people, oh man, folks, so many people have come to me and said, well, you know, uh, you need to rely on what God has told you, as if this is your own personal truth. There is no personal truth, folks. There's only truth that is found in the word. And if you think the Holy Spirit is speaking to you, and he speaks not according to the word of God, then it's not the Holy Spirit speaking to you. This specifically, there has been several, uh, channels on YouTube that have gone from great prophecy and truth channels to only speaking about tithe or Conrad Vine. Look, I, I did a few videos on this and I think it's an important topic because you don't want to steal from God. You can find out more about that by going to titheanswers.com. But some, some channels have taken it upon themselves to be focused, solely on this topic now, as if it's the most important thing on planet earth.

39:18 What is the most important thing on, on earth right now? What's the present truth? Speaking the three angels message, telling people to worship God, telling them about the dangers that are coming upon this earth right now. So if anybody's telling you to go look at the dirty laundry in your church or to look at other people, tell them looking at other people is for the weak-minded, doing the work of God, doing the work of God, doing the work of God, doing the work of God is not for the weak-minded. Doing the work of God is going to help the people make it to heaven. Rant over. Let's look at this. This is a, um, a very interesting quote from the prophets and kings page 626. It says, Christians should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise. And this preparation they should make by diligently studying the word of God. Striving to conform their lives to its precepts. This tremendous issue from eternity, the issues of eternity demand us something besides the imagery of religion or an imagery religion, an imaginary, excuse me, can't even read today. A religion of words and forms where truth is kept in the outer court. God calls for a revival and reformation.

40:41 And I think revival and reformation are super important. God's people should be revived to do the work of God and not looking in at ourselves and looking at each other. What sins have they done? What sins have they done? Look to God. Fix your life and don't think about other people. Keep your eyes focused on Jesus himself and you will make it to heaven. Don't, don't take your eyes off him. You will fall off the cliff. You will not be gripping the cord, the three cord that is held from heaven, as the imagery from the vision suggests. We're about to go through a big time, a big crisis. And the best ammunition that the devil has is to separate us. We must come together. We must press together. If not, we will not. We will lose focus and not make it. Press together, press together. It's time to press together. Let the wheat and the tares grow together and focus on what is important. And this one, this is 1 Thessalonians 4, 13 through 14.

42:17 So, are we just to think that, hey, if somebody dies, we're not going to see him again? No. If you are focused on Jesus, not on this world, you will see them again. And that should be our hope as well. So, press together and know that we are, the next site that they will have is Jesus. Finally, Revelation 20, 13 says, the water gives them back, the sea gives them up, the dead which were in it, and the death and hell deliver up the dead which were in them. Now, this is a lot of symbology and imagery because back in the sea represents a multitude of people in Revelation. And obviously, hell isn't on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth right now. So, it's not on earth You can't see that hell is giving them up. But every man will be judged according to their works, Revelation 20, 13. And so, this is further proof that you can't just say magic words and say, hey, I'm saved on this date and be saved. But instead, you have to have that relationship every day with Christ, just as you are with your husband or wife. You can't say, we are married, I can do whatever I want. You can't say, I'm saved on this date and be saved. You can't say, I love my person, whether it be husband and wife or your God, all the time. And I communicate with them all the time. And I do what they want me to do all the time. Not what I want myself to do, not selfish ambitions, but what my God, my wife, my husband want. That is the relationship. That is the righteousness. What is righteousness? Doing rightly. And so, doing rightly according to what you know is righteousness. And if you are doing rightly, according to what God wants, according to what you know is correct, then you will make it to the kingdom.

44:34 So, that's not all. There are some other things that I think that we can think about. One of them is, this is a beautiful picture I took in Denmark. This is a rainbow, and it was so vivid. It was the most vivid rainbow I've ever seen before. It reminded me that God will not send another global flood. He will not send anything like that again. And he wants everyone to be saved. And while I was in Denmark, I was doing these presentations on spiritualism, which I am, by the way, going to Czech Republic this next week. I'll be leaving Wednesday, and we'll be there on the following weekend. So, in other words, not this weekend, but the following weekend, I'm going to be doing my presentations in Denmark. If you're around that area, come and visit. Or email me, bradley at strangenormal.org, and I'll tell you exactly where it's going to be. But this up there is a reminder, and I try to take pictures wherever I go so I can look at my phone and go, okay, this is the location we were at at this time. And this is a beautiful picture of the rainbow telling us that God's coming, and it's going to be, he's going to bring us to the take us back to a beautiful place. For the next three weeks, I will be not doing as many videos as I usually do, because I am gone. I'm doing presentations. I am fulfilling my task as a human to be with families and in-laws and everyone. And fortunately, I have a family that's watching over everything while I'm gone. But I'll be taking pictures, and I'll be telling you what's going on.

46:21 And how things are going as time progresses. And of course, if there's something big that does happen, I'll do a special little report from my hotel room. But it's difficult when you travel to continue to do videos that are so important here. So just know that I'm doing my best. Folks, I appreciate you listening to my ramblings. But I think it's so important that we think about this terrible tragedy and know that, number one, God is coming soon. Number two, he loves you. He doesn't want you to perish. Number three, there are tragedies coming, and we have to be close to him to be saved. And number four, we have to reach out to those people to save them before it's too late. Okay, let's look at the chat real quick before we close. And let's just make sure that you guys are all on this weird Friday afternoon, still alive and kicking in there. Paul says, You know, there is a big push, I think, for Hindu Buddhism over there. It's on the border of that area. So I would imagine that there are full... I remember seeing one video of them pulling a giant gold statue out of the sand that had been buried. I don't know if that was from the Paul or not. But I don't believe that just because somebody is... And I'm careful how I say this, because we're all sinners.

47:57 And maybe you might think that there's one sin that you're doing that is less than someone worshiping an idol, and it probably is, it probably isn't. But at the same time, God gives us time to give people grace as well. And so I think that that's just more reason we need more missionaries, more to help find those people and reach them before it's too late. There are a lot of idols over there. It's a terrible thing. People get the idea that their God is a piece of wood or gold statue. Yeah, pray for the ministries. Lots is happening, folks. It's not just spiritualism. We're seeing terrible tragedies happen in the world, which we know would happen. We're seeing spiritualism. We're seeing pushes for getting rid of the separation of church and state, which this country has been founded on from the very beginning. But we know all this would come to pass.

49:04 Emotions are being charged in places that make these decisions, and ultimately things will happen. But it's for the best so we can leave this planet, because this place is not my home. I'm just passing through, and I hope you are too. Let's meet on that sea of glass. Let's meet in the tree of life that is separated by the river in heaven someday soon. All right, that's great. Father God, thank you for giving us time to go. We're going to go over this important topic. It's such a tragedy to see these things happen. We ask that you give the people who have lost life in this condolences, guidance, help their grief. There are some people that won't be found, but ultimately you know that you are in control, and things like this have to happen. Last things can happen on earth, so guide and direct, keep us in your way, and help us to reach as many people in our life as possible. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

50:17 All right, my name is Bradley. This has been Pure Strangeness, Absolute Normal.
