0:03 All right. We are live, and it is 10.05 p.m. on a Sunday night. We're going to be streaming tonight, and we're going to be talking about some very interesting things, talking about how a lot of people have seen the color blue in these spirits, these demonic activities that have happened on Earth. Why is that? Why the color blue? We're going to dig into that a little bit. We're also going to dig into something very interesting that I didn't connect until just recently. Jewelry. Very interesting stuff. You're going to want to watch this full episode from the beginning to the end, and don't miss a single part. We'll see you very soon. I don't care if you think I'm Satan reincarnated. The evil spirits will declare themselves to be inhabitants of five distant planets in the galaxies that are coming to warn the inhabitants of planet Earth of the impending destruction of the planet.
1:32 It is now 90 seconds to midnight. I still think these are what people call angels. I'm dying to know what they've got to say. Pretty severe suffering brings them. These entities have the ability to appear in any form. I'm a strange normal. My name is Bradley. We talk about the stranger things that happen in your normal life to give you a biblical understanding of what is going on. And there is a lot going on, so make sure you hit that subscribe button, hit that little bell icon so you're notified when things, like this, happen. Man, everyone, we're starting a little bit late tonight, but that's okay because we've got an excellent show ahead of us.
3:06 In fact, I want to talk about some things that have happened recently. But before we get into it, you know what? I'm going to just jump right into it. Let's just talk. Let's introduce our guest tonight first instead. I know I'm completely out of order, but Wendy and Donovan are here, and they're here in my background here, so I want to say hello to you guys. How are you tonight? Good, good. Thanks for having us, Brad. So good to be back here in Tennessee. Really appreciate it. Very good. I wish we could both be on at the same time, but I just don't have a big enough room to do that, so they're over here on my left. If you're watching this, I'm not sure if it's going to be my left or your right or whatever it is, but that way we can both see each other and we can both talk at the same time because we've got some interesting B-roll to show you, and we're just going to go from straight into it. In fact, there has been a few comments in the – What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? Comment section just recently I want to address. There's some very interesting quotes I want to show you straight from Spirit of Prophecy.
4:10 I'm going to bring them up here. This is one that was brought up. It says, We are not to engage in an investigation of spiritualism. God has investigated this for us and told us definitively that a class would arise in the day, in the last days, that would deny Christ, who has purchased them with his own blood, the character of spiritualists is so plainly described that we need not be deceived by them. If we obey the divine injunction, we shall have no sympathy with spiritualists. However, smooth and fair may be their words. However smooth and fair be their words. Now, it's interesting, because, you know, six years later, she says this. Let me bring that up here. We should study the nature and character and extent of the spiritual work in this in high places, lest we become dupes of the powers of darkness. What in the world? Is this a similar phrase, or is she talking about this in a similar fashion? I don't think so. I think she's talking about two totally different things in this, and I want to kind of talk about this at the beginning, because this is kind of a different thing. I want to kind of talk about this at the beginning, what this channel is about. If you've never been to this channel, we've gotten a lot of new friends just recently, and what this channel talks about is we take the current events that are happening in spiritualism, and we look at what the Bible says about what's happening. That is the primary goal. This is a show about good. This isn't a show about evil. So, I think it's very interesting, everything that's going on here.
5:53 What do you guys think about those two different things? Is it the same, or is it something different? It is interesting. I mean, I think she has a fair warning to say, you know, you don't want to seek out spirits. You don't want to seek out mediums for your answers. God gives us all the answers we need, and the Bible says not to have anything to do with mediums, right? We know that that's an abomination to God. But also, like, God gives us all the answers we need. The second quote you're saying, I think she's inferring to the fact that we need to know what is on God's side and what's not. And if there are things in our days that people are being deceived by, I think it's clear she's saying we should talk about it. So, I mean, I feel like they're slightly different subjects, but she's kind of saying the same thing twice, just from a different light. Yeah, I think so, too. And what's really interesting about it, that she says study three things, which is the nature, the character, and the extent of spiritual witness. She doesn't say go to these things and seek them out to see if they're real. She says the Bible's already clearly said that, right? And so, but we should understand this so that we're not dupes against it. So, there's two separate things that are happening here, and I think it's very important that we do that. By the way, I don't think I fully introduced you guys. This is Wendy. Wendy's been on the program before. And Donna, then, is her husband. And I don't think I said your guys' names, and I apologize for that, but this is a very interesting show. And you guys are here because you, well, I don't know if you want to reveal why you're here. So, I'm just going to say. It's perfectly fine. I mean, so we're trying to figure out what God wants for our life. And so, the reason we're here is to see if God is calling us to move to this area.
7:53 And it has a lot to do with actually the end time events and preparing for those things. Because even with her writings, she talks about fleeing the cities and getting to a place that is more secluded. Not that we're supposed to isolate ourselves and shut up the gospel or anything. It's more of just in preparation for the second coming of Christ and what is going to happen during those terrible events in world's history. So, that's part of the reason we're here is to get an idea of what's going to happen. And so, I think it's really important that we're here. Where God wants us to go. Because right now, we're very close to a big city. And that just seems like not a safe place to be for end times. Yeah. I totally understand that. We're at the base of the Appalachian Mountains here. And you guys are up a little northern than we are. But I think it's a very interesting time we're living in. We're living in a time of a lot of civil unrest. A lot of talk about religious laws happening here pretty soon. And a lot of things that are happening. So, I don't know. People have said for 150 years that there could be some religious laws that pertain to Revelation 13 that are happening. And now, we're seeing some very interesting stuff happening. So, it's a good time to be thinking this way. I think everyone should start thinking about it. Absolutely. For sure. And so, let's actually get into that spiritualism that we're talking about. And I think it'd probably be a good idea to step straight into that. So, what are we talking about? What are we talking about?
9:23 What are we talking about on the program tonight? Let me pull up my notes. We're going to talk about three things. We're going to talk about the nature. We're going to talk about the character. And we're going to talk about the extent of this spiritual wickedness that is happening right now. And what I like to do is begin with the news. Because this is current events. And some of the news and some of the stuff is old. Some of the stuff is new. And some of the stuff you're going to recognize. But I think some of this is going to be very fascinating to you. Because this happened only about a decade or so ago. We're just going to roll the clip. See if I can find it here. This one. Cut. There we go. There's a new video this morning that some say may be proof we're not alone in the universe. A UFO in the form of a bright light is seen descending over the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. People in American Fork and Highland reported some strange happenings in last night's sky.
10:24 They did. And they want to know what was hovering over that area between the top of the rock and the top of the rock. Between 7.15 and 7.30 last night, ABC4's Barb Smith is taking action to find out what it was, Barb. Robert and Karen, they tell us that they saw lights, but those lights were not from an airplane or a helicopter. And these lights dropped something as they hung low over the sky. An unusual sight over the city of Old Jerusalem is making the rounds on the internet. This YouTube video was reportedly taken along the promenade of Armen Hantsev at about 1 in the morning. The man who posted it says he was there with a friend. The man who posted it says he was there with a friend. When a bright light appeared in the sky and descended on the Dome of the Rock. The light appears to just hang in the skyline. The light appears to just hang in the skyline. But then, an energy burst of some kind. You know, critics, it's difficult for them to dismiss this because there are so many different angles.
11:19 We've got four different videos, all from various perspectives, showing this light. This is from different angles. Look at that close-up. Look at that close-up. Look at that close-up. Look at that close-up. Look at that close-up. Look at that close-up. Look at that close-up. Do you see? Do you see? What is it? Do you think I'm too much? No, no, we all see it. What is it? Shior! Shior! What is it? What is it? Did you see? Did you see it?
12:13 Look, there's more. Look, look, look there. What is it? There's a whole group there, look. What is it? Some kind of red flashing Christmas lights in the sky. It's tough to see in the darkness, but it then appears that blinking red lights are hovering in the sky above then disappear. And why did it stop over one of the most treasured sites in Christianity? The video is said to be taken over the weekend. Then suddenly the light shoots up into the sky. There you see it. Another video from a different angle appears to show the light doing the same thing. The lights have gone viral now.
13:07 Do you think I'm too much? No, no, we all see it. What is it? Shior! What is it? What is it? Did you see? Look at it. Look, there's more. Look, there's more. What is it? What is it? Shior. It's not true. But there it is right there, it's at the top of the screen, it's up there and it hovers, kind of a pulsating orb. And then hold on here because this thing starts going down right toward, you see it there, going down toward the dome of the rock and the Temple Mount, and then it stops, and it hovers there for a while, it kind of sits there, and then all of a sudden it shoots straight back up into the air.
14:36 As things progress, we're going to see this more and more. But they do not know of anything like this in the Israeli army, so they say this is either incredible video or some very well orchestrated hoax. Some have said maybe this is a movie that's putting out this, I don't know, what do you put out of your movie, a trailer or some kind of a hoax to try and promote a movie that's yet to be named? We don't know. Could it be Jacob's Ladder? Remember Jacob's Ladder? No, I don't watch scary films, they freak me out. Well, no, the biblical thing where Jacob's Ladder, you know, was the Jews and the Christians believed Jacob's Ladder, who he saw in a dream, leads from the Temple Mount steps to heaven and salvation. I thought that was a thriller that went very scary. That's what one of the producers said. I saw that movie. No, I'm talking about the biblical reference. Okay. T.G., thank you. We're going to follow up on it. You bet. What do you guys think? What was that? I mean, it's one thing that just comes down, but then it goes back up? All right. That was from Jason A.
15:36 His, his, his... You know, he's a great guy. You know, he's a great guy. He just posted that, but it's from a long time ago. I think it's, it's, it's really interesting because I had not seen that before. I think people that have been following this phenomenon for quite a while, they probably see this already and they've seen it before, but I was like, what is this? This is crazy. And so I, I want to bring it to you guys. What do you think about that? Because at first I was thinking, this is CGI, but then they brought it from four different locations, four different, and I thought, okay, something else is going on here. That is interesting. I think this video was like 10 years ago. Right. Um, and when it went back up and they were zoomed in on the lights, it was like a triangle. Hmm. And what's interesting about that is like Elon Musk has just developed with a SpaceX program, a UFO fighter jet, which is a triangular shape.
16:54 Really? And so I just, for some reason, that's just, it's uncanny. I don't know why it's always a train. I mean, most UFOs in the olden times, I feel like it's always a saucer. Um, but now more modern stuff is triangular and even Elon Musk developing a UFO, he calls it a UFO spaceship or a spacecraft. Man, I didn't even see that. I need to look at that myself. Well, I do know that, um, that in the past, even before these UAP, uh, Tic Tacs, they call them, right? Oh yeah. Um, they have been, um, they used to say they were like, uh, propane tanks or they, they, they used to say they see them up in there in the sky as, um, cigars. Or something like that, right? Oh, interesting. Yeah, yeah. So I think they appear as what people think or, or, or things that they have in their head already that they can relate to. I don't know. Yeah, like they're preconceived notions of it. Mm-hmm. I remember reading, um, who was that guy, that book that I read?
17:55 The, um, the singer Tom DeLonge, he, he, uh, partnered with Peter Levenda. Oh, okay. And Peter Levenda, in his breakdown of it, he was saying that, um, the phenomenon, has always appeared as one step ahead of technology to then, uh, take humanity a little further into the technology realm. So like, uh, the phenomenon has then inspired new technology based on their shape. So it's like, uh. That's interesting. Oh, it's a little bit more than what we're capable of understanding. It can't be human made. And then 10 years later we have a spaceship now. Yeah, and so now, oh, triangular, that's a great idea. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was more recently. Um, this really caught my attention. Uh, when this happened, this was in, I think in a park in Canada.
18:48 So watch this. We're currently here in Squamish, BC, and that's the, uh, rock. Uh, they call it the chief. Got all the, um, the, uh, WMD, weapon of mass detection set up. I don't have a night vision on yet because it's too light. Breslin's over there checking things out. Marcus and Liz are very comfortable here. Way too comfortable, driving theater style. Yep. And I've got the cameras going. I'm doing some time lapse. Stuff has been seen over the mountain. And we're hoping to see some stuff tonight. We'll be out until quite late. I got it. Oh, my gosh. Oh. What the hell? It's in the woods. Yeah. I'm getting a crazy glow where it is on the night vision.
19:45 Okay, I've lost it now. But I got it. Could have been an airplane, but I don't think so. No, I don't think so either. There was no sound. Is it gone now? Okay, let's play it back. Very interesting stuff that's happening. And what I think we're all witnessing are exactly what the government has already said they are experiencing themselves when they research. This topic. We're going to get into that a little bit later tonight. But they're seeing these round objects. And for the record, these Foo Fighters, as they called them a long time ago, and they have called them previously different things. But, in fact, the first flying saucer described it as a round disc. Because, or even before that, in some, I forget what it was, one of the wards or something, they saw shields, they said, in the sky. And so these flaming shields, these round objects, even described as these fireballs of light, are being seen over and over again.
20:49 You know, the Bible calls this the angels that fell. He calls angels seraphim and cherubim, the stars of the heaven. And I think this is primarily why. We're seeing actual demonic entities primarily. And I go further into that in a documentary called Starfire. If you go to starfallmovie.com, you can watch that 30-minute documentary real quick, just to kind of give you a recap of what happened a few years ago. And we've been doing this podcast ever since. But that was two very interesting topics. I wanted to go a little further into this, as we understand this a little bit better, and dig further. And one of the ways I did that was by asking questions to some people who have been researching, this for a while.
21:40 And since we already know what is going on here, we don't need to dig too far. But I found some very interesting things that I think can point us back to Scripture. One of those things that I found was, well, first, I'll show you the guy that I talked to, and as I ask him questions, just to get your appetite about what I'm talking about here, and see what he says. Watch this. Do you think about the idea that they are just playing with these EMF meters, and they're not actually picking them up, but they're toying with us? Yeah, they do that sometimes. And I can tell you exactly an example of it. Okay, I'm not going to go into the example of it, because we don't need to. But this is a guy, I'm not going to say his name, but he's the knowledgeable guy in my city about this stuff, apparently, from a non-Christian perspective. And he's given...
22:39 He's given everyone an EMF meter, which stands for Electromagnetic Frequency, or something like that, where he says that we can detect these things. And he's walking around trying to detect them, and I'm interviewing him. I don't care what's going on, and how to detect these things, because I think they're playing with us. And so I'm quizzing him on all this stuff as we're going around, just because I thought it would be interesting to see what he says about it as I try to present the truth about these things to him. And I might present more of that information later, as we go into the broadcast, or even later in the show. So make sure you hit that subscribe button, so we'll talk more about that as we go on in the few weeks to come. But the story about how these spirits like to reveal sin was really interesting to me. Because he said that he's done these tours with people before, where he goes around and tries to reveal stuff.
23:34 He brings a little box with him. These little electronic boxes, is called, I forgot what it was called. It doesn't even matter. I probably even shouldn't name it. But the thing that he says, that they can talk through. Who would want to talk to these things? I mean, and I certainly wouldn't, but people are so fascinated by this. And I think it's interesting that they're so fascinated by it. But I think this is exactly what Ellen White was saying when she was like, you know, we don't need to dig into this by buying things to talk to the spirits or things like that. We don't need to dig any further into this because we already know what it is. But there are many people that do this and they get, it's almost like they went to a seance or something with today's technology being this little box. I think they call it an obelisk or something.
24:24 But let me show you what he says about this, about what happened with this obelisk when he was on tour. It's very, very interesting. Watch this. I had a private, one night, group of ladies from Alabama. And it turned out that when they wheeled in, there were 12 of these ladies, middle-aged women, on a girl's night out. What could go wrong with that? Well, what could go wrong was the, watch yourself. What could go wrong was that they could get into a fight amongst themselves. And one of the women said to another, I think this is terrible. You got us out here running around in the dark looking for something we both know doesn't exist.
25:27 And so she's going on and on and on. And her friends said, we do shut up. We're having fun. And so it got to be kind of an odd moment. And then all of a sudden, the obelisk went off. It was in my pocket. It went off. And it said, Margaret, which happened to be this woman's first name. And everybody freaked out, except Margaret. Margaret said, it's a coincidence. So it went on a little further. And all of a sudden, the obelisk opens up and it says, adultery. Now we had a crowd.
26:18 Everybody that was in the commons areas and everything, they want to find out what this is going to be all about. And so she looks at me and she says, great, now people are going to think that we're having an affair. I said, man, I have no idea how your mind works. And in this case, I'm going to say it doesn't work at all. And so she just muttered, and stumbled and such a little bit. And so we started on down just a little bit further. And then the obelisk said, stop. And then gave the group the first and last name of a man who was married to another one of the women in the group. And she said, oh, no.
27:14 And that went south in a hurry. What's that? One of her friends' husband. She was cheating. Yeah. And it went absolutely ballistic. I didn't want to get hurt, right? Because that's what was about to happen. I'm about to get my butt whipped in this thing and I don't know why. So I went and sat down on a bench and let him go. So this is something that I've seen over and over again. Not necessarily, not necessarily inside our life today, but I've had missionaries come back from Mission Field and say that they go to baptize someone in a very spiritualist country and the pastors say, be very, very careful. Because oftentimes, even when you're in the baptismal tank, these things will try to tell you all, tell your audience all your sins if you're trying to baptize this person. And he says, at times, we've had to just, we've had to just dunk the person into the water.
28:14 And so this is something that Satan likes to be as God. Yeah. And so he wants to have records just as God has the book of life. He has records of good and evil and stuff. And so he, I think, as we proceed down this path more and more and spiritualism becomes a bigger and bigger part of society, there's a big chance that what we're going to do is going to be what we're going to see is these things not only revealing themselves more, but proving that they are who they are by revealing sins of people that appear to be more righteous. It will make Christianity go into hiding. Absolutely. I mean, if you are, can you imagine if you are a Christian and you're a Christian and you're a Christian and you are presenting the gospel, the last message to the world and you know the world is ending and all of a sudden you have an audience and these things start appearing telling you about the things in your life.
29:25 This is, I think, why it's so important that not only that we're right with God, but that we get right with God, not at the last moment. Amen. The Bible says that everything that's hidden will be brought to light. So I feel like we as Christians, it's our job to, like you're saying, make sure we bring our own issues to light before the spirits do it for us, I guess. That's wild. I've never seen anything like that, but I like the way you put it. I feel like they try to play God with like, oh, we have all this hidden knowledge. And also, you know, they love destruction. They love strife. They just like took that group of women and like, watch this. I'm going to make them a believer, right? Like, yeah, clearly this is something powerful. Like this guy, none of them, believed him. It was just for fun and games, but then bringing out all the secrets. Yeah, that's actually really funny. But I mean, what does that say, though?
30:20 And the Bible says that Satan can do lying signs and wonders. And we shouldn't really be too surprised when this happens, but it is still alarming. Like, it's that's just crazy. Yeah, yeah, I think so, too. And I think what's what's even more crazy about it is that this stuff is all coming out in our lifetime. And a lot of people don't even know this. And so that's that's the the point of this channel is to kind of reveal, hey, there is an urgency for the good news of the gospel because the world is fast approaching an end. And I thought this was this last clip was just so important and it was very interesting. We're going to talk a little bit about what happens. OK, let me preface it with this. When I, I took this video and I got a lot of more clips after this, but this next one is is is was so important. I got done with it.
31:18 I scrubbed through hours and hours of content and the one story that I wanted I didn't have. So I actually went back to the guy again. I said, Can you tell me this story again? Because it was very interesting. And he did, and so I caught him on the side of the road and I asked him about it. And I want you to watch basically what happened. Watch this. The young lady was very into it. So say I she was very active. Looked for all kinds of stuff and. All we were done. We had a brief sage ceremony. And you have vacation and and to clear everybody of whatever they may have picked up in the hunt.
32:11 But it turns out that her problem started the next day when she went to the read house in Chattanooga and at the read house. They will give you like a quick guided tour of room 311, which is the most haunted room in the read house and arguably could be the most haunted room in the city of Chattanooga. So she went to see that one of them. I think she said it was a bellhop that took her up and better, you know, look around the road. And at that point, things started to go back. She's starting to feel lousy. Started to have a lot of discomfort. She was starting to just wobble a little bit. Everything is going back. Something happened to worry. And it happened when she went in that room at the read house.
33:11 I have no idea what. Yeah, huh. But what I did do, I had her come meet me here. The the owner of this company had gotten a call from her saying, I don't know what to do. And so it's for, you know, and. But she got a call from her indicating that there was some big type of trouble. So she said, well, he's probably going to be coming off of his hunt in about 15 minutes. So why don't you go catch up with him? There should be in the visa. She got there and she told me the story and I processed that. And so I said, do you have and like any jewelry can be affected some patients like, oh, yeah.
34:11 And she started to take off jewelry. And more jewelry and more and more and more. She had jewelry laid out across a flat surface in there. And we're still adding more to it. And so it turns out that you've gotten into some bad energy at the read house. And we just worked to clean it up, you know, because we couldn't let her go like that. And she took. All of her jewelry off and she was going to throw it away, you know, and then she thought, well, I probably keep it. I say, you keep it. Just don't wear it. What she did do was she took she had been working that morning to try and get her SB 11 box to work.
35:07 Oh, spirit box. And she when this all blew up, she threw it in the trash. Wow. Has a bunch of money went in that trash. Yeah, that I wasn't going to take it because it would be serious bad energy for me. And then because of the of its pathway in there. So I just. So anyway, that's that's an interesting story about what happened. And she he ended up what I think is most interesting about this is that he, even though he's not coming from a Christian background, he's has recognized that there is something that happens. And a lot of people that are in this type of field, they call this the oh, I put it on the thumbnail even I don't remember what it's called. It's called the the the I'll think of it in a second here where something attaches and they go back with something and they like attaches to them.
36:09 It's a spirit. It's a demonic entity. They've delved too deep into this stuff by researching it, which is exactly the quote. At the beginning we were talking about, you don't dive into this stuff this way and you're affected by it. It affects your being. It affects you. You see things at night. All kinds of stuff starts happening. I even had someone email me this week about things that were happening to them and how real it is and how things are happening. But what really fascinated me is that he said, take off your jewelry. And the reason why that was so interesting is because we have a lot in the Bible that talks about jewelry and how it's not important for a Christian. So I kind of want to go over that, and if you never heard that before, it's probably probably something good to to jump into.
37:00 So I'm going to go over a couple of the verses and then let you guys think about or talk a little bit about it. But let me bring up some verses here real quick. So first Peter three, three through four says, Who's. whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plating of the hair and of wearing of gold or of putting on of apparel, but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the adornment of the meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. Jesus, Ezekiel, says that in Eden, when, I mean, yeah, you were in Eden, says, talking about Satan himself, Lucifer, saying that God, the garden of God, every precious stone was your covering. So God had adorned him with all these different stones and emeralds and jasper and onyx. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on that day. What happened to Satan when he well, he corrupted himself. Why? Because your heart was filled up because of your beauty.
38:17 You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground. I laid you before kings that they might gaze upon you, God said. Wow. And so because of his pride, he was cast out because of this. And it all began because of his pride, because of his self. And as a Christian, we're not supposed to be having people look at us. We're supposed to have people look at Christ instead of building up our pride and how we have and what we look like. Perhaps there's something to that. Even spiritualists are saying this, that something can attach. And if you take away the jewelry, you take away the spirits as well. I don't know. I don't know. I'm just going to say there's something to this. You should probably just study it for yourself. I'm going to leave a couple of words for you. I'm going to leave a couple of words for you. I'm going to leave a couple things in the comments for you to look at. This might be something interesting that as we do Bible study from the word of God. There's a couple other verses that I think are interesting. So I'm going to pop it back over. At the end of time, it says, let me make sure I didn't miss anything. Oh, this one. This is interesting. It says, in the New Testament, in like manner also that women adorning themselves in modest apparel with pride and moderation will not with braided hair, gold pearls, costly clothes, but with is proper for a woman professing godliness with good works. So it's interesting that not only women, but men also says in the last days that men, a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which he made each for himself to worship to the moles and the bats to go into the clefts of the rock and into the crags of the rugged rocks from the terror. Why?
40:09 From the terror of the Lord and the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily. So sever yourself from such men. Interesting, huh? And so all these things happen for a reason. And in the Lord, and God says, God commanded saying, and the Lord commanded us to observe all these things, these statutes, to fear the Lord, our God, for our good always, that he may not. That he may not. That he might preserve us alive as it is in this day. Then it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all the commandments before the Lord, our God, as he commanded us. And that's not all, but I want to bring it back to you guys. What do you think about all this stuff? Even, even spiritualists that are, are, are seeing this right now, um, say that there's a connection to adorning yourself. Uh, do you think there's a connection there? Hmm. I do. I mean, um, I didn't grow up in a religious home at all. It was very secular.
41:16 And I actually knew very closely, um, a Wiccan. And, uh, I don't, I don't know much about Wiccans. I just knew one growing up and they use crystals a lot from my understanding. And they use these crystals as like energy points and ways to cast spells and to create, um, like joy and happiness. Um, and it's just interesting. I don't know if there's a connection between the crystals of jewelry and the crystals of Wiccans. If they're the same thing or different, I don't know that, but I just, I think that's interesting. Um, you see billboards all the time on the sides of roads and they just show a woman wearing this huge crystal. Um, you know, there's a lot of promotion of that. And I don't necessarily think that's for, you know, casting spells or promoting good feelings. Um, that might just be more like what the scripture you were showing where it's just. An outward, um, sign of, I don't know, wealth and beauty and, uh, your own splendor. So it just kind of seems, it's definitely something that I think that people take way too far. Um, and you can see that among men and women. That's a good point. You know, when you were reading the scripture about, I was thinking, um, not to play devil's advocate. I kind of hate that phrase, but when it talks about in the end, like they will cast off the gold and the silver because they've made them into idols.
42:38 I used to always think, well, I've never worshiped. I've never formed anything out of gold or silver and worshiped it. But like, how often do we, I mean, it's like as a woman, I don't know how long it takes men to get ready. It takes a woman longer for sure. But it's like, you spend so much time even before church. Yeah. I obviously I'm speaking about myself, but God has convicted me of like, you know, how much time do you spend on your physical appearance before church rather than your spiritual, you know, mindset? Like, are you, are you preparing spiritually before you go to church or is it just this physical outsideness that you're focused on? And like, yeah, so interesting that you bring up Satan because that was his downfall. He was so beautiful. He had all these gems that it became his downfall. You know, it was so much that he, he loved the attention. He loved all the, the self gratitude he was getting because of it, that it was his downfall. His pride led him to it. Um, jewelry, uh, like it's crazy. It's crazy to hear someone on the opposite side say, take off your jewelry. And then the spirits left her. Yeah. Crazy. I will say, um, and my spiritual journey years ago, um, before we came to the faith that we were in now, I, uh, I wore a lot of jewelry, especially as a teacher. I feel like, you know, you kind of find like the, the cutesy earrings because the kids are like, oh, you've got like a peacock in your ear, you know, like whatever he's laughing. Cause he bought me peacock earrings one time. Um, but yeah, I remember when I quit teaching, I had all this jewelry and it was like, I'm never going to wear this again. Most of it is like, it was so gaudy, you know, it was like for little kids. I'm like, I wouldn't wear that normally. I'm just wearing it for entertainment for the kids. But, but truthfully, like I got rid of all of it. And, um, I just remember thinking, you know, like what, what was the point of this? Why was I doing this? And then the church that we had joined, um, you know, like now we're part of the SDA church. And so when we first started going to the SDA church, I just remember noticing, like nobody had said anything about jewelry. It wasn't like stop at the door and take off anything. You know, it's not like that at all, but I noticed firsthand just looking around, like these women aren't wearing any jewelry. And I had already kind of come to that conclusion myself of like, I really don't need this anymore. It really like for women, it can become such a like, okay, first I get the outfit, then I get the shoes. And then what jewelry goes with this? I don't know. Like, Oh, it just takes too much time. So as a mom too, it's easier step. Like you don't need that. Um, but it, I mean, it even says like apparel, you can get too obsessed about your clothes. Oh yeah. And all the name brand. Yeah. The expensive stuff or any of that. But, um, it felt like a breath of fresh air to me to get to church and see that these women are not adorned in jewelry. So it's not like, I feel like I have to put on my jewelry to match everybody else. It's like, Oh, I don't have to wear this anymore. It's free. Yeah. It was really liberating.
45:38 Oh, for sure. But I, you know, I remember, um, early when I was younger, I'm not old, but when I was younger, uh, it was like almost like, uh, um, you would compare like your friend would get engaged and you'd be like, let me see the ring. And then you kind of do this thing. You're like, what size is it big? And it was like, yeah, it was like, Oh, my husband really cares about me because he spent so much on this huge rock. You know, it's like, it's sad. Yeah. Seriously. Not a big deal. But I mean, I'm very thankful for this because it really helps the checkbook too. So yeah. Yeah. I no longer ask for jewelry ever. That was nice. There was one verse when Wendy that convinced you, um, do you have that verse? That was really interesting. Oh yeah. Um, let me find that. It's an Exodus. Yeah. So when I first started wondering, like, is this something I should do? Um, I was praying about it a lot and I was just randomly reading and I found this verse and it really helped me take a step back. And I was like, Oh my God, this is amazing. This is amazing. This is amazing. This is amazing. This is amazing. This is amazing. And I was like, I know it's a little silly. I'm like, why am I wearing jewelry? What is it? And I mean, it seems obvious. You wear jewelry because it's beautiful that you some reason it makes you feel more beautiful. Someone, one would say like the more costly it is, you feel like you have more value, which I mean, from an earthly perspective, I get that.
46:59 But from a Godly perspective, our value should come from God. It shouldn't come from, you know, earthly things that are going to pass away. Right. So yeah, back to the scripture, it's Exodus 33, and it's three through five, if anyone wants to look it up themselves, but just for background, they are commanded at this point to leave Sinai, and so God is telling them that he's getting ready to take them to the land flowing with milk and honey, the promised land, but of course, Israelites keep doing things to prevent themselves from entering into God's promise, and so this just really caught my attention, and I hadn't really noticed it before, so 33 verse three says, go up to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I will not go up in your midst, lest I consume you on the way, for you're a stiff-necked people, when the people heard this bad news, they mourned, and no one put on his adornment, or sorry, ornaments, which we could take to say jewelry, and it says, for the Lord had said to Moses, say to the children of Israel, you are a stiff-necked people, I could come up into your midst. in one moment and consume you, now therefore take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you, so the children of Israel strip themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb, and so it's interesting, again, like you're saying, you know, it's not, there's not a single scripture that says thou shalt not wear jewelry, but it's kind of one of those concepts that you see repeated in the Bible, like what is it about the jewelry that God doesn't like?
48:35 You know, and I think it's very much that self-glorification aspect, yeah, and why is it that these people couldn't enter the promised land with this jewelry? Why did they have jewelry anyway? I mean, there's, I don't know if you've read that one, in Exodus, where God tells the Israelites to take off all their jewelry when they, when, oh, no, no, they took off their jewelry and made the golden calf, so they decided themselves, like, this isn't as important. This isn't as important as having something to worship, but then they're worshiping an idol, and then what does Moses do? I think God tells him, you know, grind it into dust and eat it. Yeah, put it in water and drink it. Yeah, yeah, so it's like this, you know, there's a connection, again, like, there's not a single scripture that says don't wear jewelry, but it seems to be repeated because it's a heart issue, and I think it's something, to some degree, we all deal with. You know, if it's not jewelry, you know, you could get caught up in, like, okay, I won't wear jewelry, but I need this really nice watch, or, you know, these, like, $300 sunglasses, or, I don't know, like, calling people out, or, like, shoes. I mean, shoes can be quite expensive, you know, but I think the real voice behind it is be careful what is giving you your self-worth.
50:01 Yes. And stop the flaunting, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very interesting, though. Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think you hit the nail on the head, too, when you said that it's all about what's giving you your self-worth, because that's essentially where Satan was happening to Satan. And it was so subtle, what was happening, too. It's so subtle that perhaps he didn't even detect it, but it changed his mind, changed his character to the point where it's caused devastation. manifestation amongst the universe i mean we're in the universe this is part of it and so it's satan's this has become this world has become his his kingdom he's prince of this world although god has died for us and we are on that journey back home now but a lot of us could lose that journey just because of our pride and so i i think it's i'm not even i don't even have a thing on me and i'm talking it's hard to produce and actually do this at the same time but but folks i i think it's a very important point that we're seeing uh that people even not christians that recognize this and there's a many in the church that don't even see this what was a big thing to me when i first noticed this was like wait a second all these there's an uh down at the flea market there was like an occult uh booth and they sold all these crystals and i was like wait a minute this is just jewelry and so people are already wearing jewelry you're wearing jewelry to church and i'm not talking about things that are expensive uh people have things that are expensive and that's a whole nother talk but i'm talking about things that have no absolutely no purpose other than to glorify self when we should be glorifying god and so that's that's that's was a a big epiphany to me that we're wearing crystals exactly what the new age you journey has become as well. So that and melting down the calf, and we can also talk about the boring of the ear and how that's part of slavery, but I can't really professionally say anything about that because I don't know much about it. But I'm going to leave some books, some links to some books in the comments that I think are very interesting that you should take a look at if this interests you, and if you want to study this further, because it sure is interesting to me.
52:32 So those two things right there were the nature, which we looked at on the news, the character that this brings, which is what we just looked at. Now we're going to go to the extent of this wickedness, which we already talked about the blue orbs, the blue orbs, I mean, I'm sorry, the orbs that we saw even in those videos, those news videos. But as I've been talking about this, I've been talking about this for a long time, and I've been talking about this for a long time, and I've been talking about this for a long time, and I've been reading along in those different government officials that have talked about this thing. One of the things I noticed is they started talking about the colors, and I don't necessarily, I'm going to play down the colors because I think these things are deceivers. They can be any color they want, or they can be anything they want. We've seen that, we've proven that on this channel, but I think it's a good idea to listen for yourself. This is, I think his name is Jim Lukatsky from his book. I don't recommend this book. Because it's just a lot of conjecture, a lot of opinion. But it is, some of the stories about this stuff were worth mentioning on this channel. So without further ado, listen to this story about what the government believes about blue orbs and dogs. And this is very important because if you've heard anything about the property called Skinwalker Ranch, this is how it was obtained by the and sold by the previous owner. Very sad story. Watch this.
54:01 Many of the OSAP Bass Group were more than familiar with the blue orb incidents that had taken place on Skinwalker Ranch from 1994 to 2000. These incidents were documented in the book Hunt for the Skinwalker. And as the NIDS investigators previously described, most interactions between blue orbs and humans and animals are usually not benign in nature. Just prior to NIDS purchasing the Skinwalker Ranch in September, 2019, the NIDS investigators were not aware of the existence of blue orbs on Skinwalker Ranch. The first incident happened a few months before the rancher sold the property to Robert Bigelow. So traumatic was this incident that it was instrumental in the family's decision to sell the property and ultimately move to a different state. During one evening in May of 1996, as Gorman was outside with his dogs, he noticed a blue orbs on Skinwalker Ranch. And he said, baseball-sized blue orb maneuvering close to the ground in the large field beside his homestead. He sent his three dogs after it. One of the dogs got close to the blue orb, leaping and snapping at it. But the orb dodged just out of reach. It appeared to be under intelligent control. The blue orb, still flying close to the ground, disappeared into an area with a lot of undergrowth and trees with the three dogs in hot pursuit. Shortly afterwards, the rancher heard a series of high-pitched screams. The rancher heard a series of high-pitched screams. The rancher heard a series of high-pitched screams. The rancher heard a series of high-pitched yelps and then silence. The following morning, he went down to the area and discovered three round areas of very dried-out vegetation with three black, greasy lumps in the middle of each circle. The rancher presumed that his three dogs had been incinerated. The dogs were never seen again.
55:48 Eh, awful. As someone that owns three dogs myself, I have a husky, a mutt, and a yorkie. And I can't imagine. These things just, they go after anything. And I can't imagine. I can't imagine. I can't imagine. Anything that moves. We have deer. We have possums. We have squirrels. I let them out. They take off. Now, I can't imagine if something like this came after the dogs and you found just a puddle of something with a large burnt area. Just because these things, animals don't have the same protection humans do. And I think this is an absolutely a testament to God's protection of humans. Because the spiritual warfare that's happening right now, we don't necessarily always see. And I think we should thank God every day in our daily prayers for the protection that we have not seen. Amen. I think there's an interesting story that you might have, Donovan, about seeing something. Yeah. I mean, just hearing that is mind-blowing. And it's crazy. So, like I said earlier, I grew up in the United States. I grew up in the United States. I grew up in the United States. I grew up in a secular home. And I've never had any spiritual encounters of any kind. I've heard a lot in my family of, like, ghosts and stuff. And then watching this channel, of course, we know what that is. But just recently, like earlier this year, you know, I've watched this channel for a few years now. And I've learned about, you know, glowing orbs and that those are just demonic spirits. And I fully believe that. Well, earlier this year, I had woken up late and I was like, my dog has gotten older. And so she's waking me up at night and wanting to go potty. And so I let her out. And I'm usually, like, really groggy. And I'm, like, trying not to wake up. So I just go back to sleep when she comes back in. And I look over. We have two big bay windows out in our backyard. And it's all woods around our property. And I look out there and there's two lights out there. And ironically, just like this story, it's just mind-blowing. There were two bluish orbs.
57:58 And I think he said they were, like, the size of a baseball. But in my instance, they were more like the size of, like, a volleyball or a basketball. But they were just outside the property line. And we pray all the time. I pray every night that God would send angels to just protect our property, not allow any evil in. And these two glowing lights, glowing orbs were just on the outside of the property line. It's not even like we have a fence. They know exactly where the property line is, which I thought was incredible. But when I first saw them, I was like, okay, there's got to be, like, somebody out there with a headlamp on, like, walking around. But they were both at two different spots along the same property line. And they were hovering up and down. And it wasn't, there's no roads. There's no houses in that area. It's just straight woods for, like, 10 acres. And so I was just instantly just praying, like, Lord, just continue to keep your angels there. Don't allow these things in because I knew exactly what they were at that point. And then, and it was crazy. And thankfully, after hearing that story, my dog didn't ever see him and go after him. But that's never happened to me. And it's not like I ever wanted that to happen. And the fact that I know about it, but they were also blue, which is even more profound from hearing that story, because I didn't think that had any significance at all. But now that I've heard that it's happened in another scenario with blue orbs that are small, and they're floating close I prayed for a long time. And it's not like I stayed to see what they would do. I just went to bed. I just prayed and just trusted God to protect our property that they wouldn't come back. And this actually happened a second time, like a couple months later. Same scenario, but it was just one orb on the same side, just outside the property line. So yeah, I'd never seen anything like that before. So when he told me this story, I was just like, whoa, but I'm the wife. So I have to kind of add to his story as we wives like to do. So I remember, uh, the first time it happened, um, you had told me and I was like, whoa, did you pray? And you're like, I didn't, I didn't even think of it. I was just trying to figure out, is it a light or something? Yeah. Like what is it walking around? But behind our property, it's just a private property, like huge acreage and an old lady lives there and she's not going to be walking around in the middle in our early, early morning, like 3am or something, but it's really dark out there. You know, nobody else goes out there. It's a private property. We've never seen people behind our property ever. So it was very alarming.
1:00:28 Um, but I noticed a pattern with this too, because, you know, I, I come on this channel sometimes, you know, it's fun, great topics. I love Bible studies, but both times that this happened with Donovan was literally the night of a time when I had visited or joined you on the, on the channel. And so it was weird to like, when he told me that I was like, oh, that's weird. The first time I was like, weird, how like I'm doing this with Brad, we're kind of trying to expose this. And then they're like, showing up, showing up to you. Yeah. Yeah. And then the second time it happened, he told me he prayed and just went back to bed. And I was like, again, though, it was a night that we'd had a, you know, a show together. So I was like, how crazy, like, what are those evil spirits doing? Like trying to combat it somehow or like scare us or get us to think. Because obviously we know what they are. So it's not like they're tricking us in any way. But I mean, intimidation can do a lot. It's different to talk about stuff than like experiencing it.
1:01:28 Seeing something I've never seen anything before, but you know, I feel like there's a level of difference. We're not supposed to trust what we see, you know, but I do, I do wonder if there was like a little level of spiritual intimidation going on, like, stop doing this. We see you. If anything, it increased my prayers even more to ask God to send his angels and protect our property. Don't allow these things in. So, but the fact that these things are getting more frequent these days. I mean, I've never seen anything like that. That in my life, this alien, you know, uh, sightings and, and these blights appearing are just being more or becoming more frequent. Um, and now like to experience it myself, it's like, wow, this is getting very real. Yeah. Like something's happening. And I almost feel like that's what Satan's going to do. You know, like, of course there's big signs. You see stuff in the news and most people, I think, I mean, they might give it some credence, but most people kind of write that off. But I feel like this is going to be Satan's tactic. Make it personal. You know what I mean? Like some people won't believe something until they experience it. So it's like, well, how can I personally reach this, you know, this person with deception? And so, yeah, I just, I was blown away when you told me those stories. So it was crazy. Absolutely crazy. And I think, I think you're right. A lot of this stuff is going to happen more and more. And so people got to be prepared. People got to know that this stuff is, is demonic. You know, you don't go after these things and say, Oh yeah, follow them. Follow your heart and follow the wisps. Oh man. We mentioned wisps. Do you know what I'm talking about? Oh yeah. So growing up in a secular home, I love Disney. I love Pixar. And there was a film that came out ironically with all this and it was called Brave. And you know, it's about the Scottish girl living way back, you know, back in the Viking times. And it, you know, Disney films are the typical story.
1:03:27 Of, you know, basically disobey your parents and follow your heart. Uh, but in this film, part of it is these glowing blue ghosts or orbs, and they're called the will of the wisps and they have a very specific purpose and it's not an evil one. It's actually, of course, a good one. It's Disney. So they're going to do the opposite. And it's just, it was mind blowing when we talked about this. And then that just came to my mind. Cause that was a really good film that I really liked. And now I'm like, oh, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. And then I'm like, oh, okay. They were just promoting something very demonic, obviously. Promoting spiritualism and follow these blue things. And yeah, for all the kids to learn about, like, okay, let's have kids love little blue lights and chase them. That's exactly what's going on here. And like, that's terrible, especially after hearing what happens to those dogs. Right. Right. Yeah. And, and I don't want to be cut because I, I'm going to show a clip of this, but I'm just going to show it real quick. I saw a wisp. A wisp. You know, some say that willow the wisps lead you to your fate. Okay. So lead you to your fate, as she said. Interesting. And then after that, she grows up and she finds the wisps. I'm going to show you. After running away from home. I'm going to cut it back because I don't want to get knocked off line. Let it play a little bit. There it is. Notice how it's saying, like, follow me. Yeah. Like, come here. I'm going to play it. And so it's going to appear all the way down here. And she's going to say, she's going to try to follow it all the way down here. And even the horse knows. The horse is like, no, that's a terrible idea. He's like, no, I'm going to cut it back. And so where does it lead her to? Oh, a cottage in the woods. In the middle of nowhere. Leads her to a witch. These friendly blue glowing lights lead her to a witch in the woods. And then. Perfectly harmless. Yeah. I think it's interesting. I think it's interesting what, what kind of media is, is kind of telling us right now is. Right. Yeah. Just go, go, go and talk to spiritualism. The little blue things will lead you to. Your fate. Your fate. It will help you accomplish your goals. And then, you know, just the story is, you know, her mother gets turned into a bear and then mom and dad apologize for being, you know, parents.
1:06:09 And then she's like. And then she, you know, she says, oh yeah, but. Wow. And then she's like, oh yeah. It's just, it's just so many things. Yeah. Because that's why you have to be a spiritualist. Yeah. Because if you don't have that spiritualism, then everything, within a spiritualism can be too. Something you don't care about, you don't care about being towards the best of your strengths. Right. Yeah. And that's the thing. That's the thing. You know? Yeah. Yeah. You know how it's like? Absolutely. Exactly. You. Do you know? Of course. I mean. There we go. Now you can see me talking. And all this is happening right now in your lifetime. And so I want to also present a little bit more audio from that same book talking about these things and the diseases that they cause. And this is important. I'll explain why afterward.
1:07:00 Check this out. The health effects of bringing something home were immediately apparent when Jim Costigan and his wife Lila experienced a very close encounter with a blue orb in their quiet Maryland neighborhood in September 2009. Her upper arm was briefly grazed by a low-flying blue orb as it flew past her and disappeared into the neighborhood. Almost immediately, Lila became ill and experienced a constellation of unusual symptoms before being eventually diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. The Axelrod family also suffered. The Axelrod family suffered health effects, with the wife suffering flare-ups of systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus, and Raynaud's disease. Both Axelrod teenagers also suffered intense flu-like symptoms at different times following anomalies in their home, with the most serious medical symptoms occurring in the younger teenager after being attacked on the night of February 7, 2011, by blue and red orbs in his bedroom.
1:08:05 Without breaking medical confidentiality and HIPAA, it can be unequivocally stated, that a large number of people who brought something home from Skinwalker Ranch also began to experience autoimmune disease in one or more family or household members. These autoimmune diseases included Graves' disease , Sjogren's syndrome , Hashimoto thyroiditis , rheumatoid arthritis , and lupus . Because of medical confidentiality issues, and the need to observe HIPAA requirements, and secondly, because the numbers are too low to evaluate cause and effect significance, there will be no more discussion of the autoimmune effects in these families. So, other than that, they talk a little bit more about, before that, and to introduce the topic, they talk about a person, they say it's a true story, about something a guy was going down as he was researching this, at that ranch, and, uh, these two orbs came out of nowhere. And, and, as he was going 85 miles an hour down the road, highway, with his daughter, I believe, in the car, and they came at him, through the car, and went, one of them went through his body, from his shoulder down to his arm, and he said, I remember thinking something was very strange happening, I could feel very different as this thing went through me, and I got very sick very fast, and I was terrified of what was going on.
1:09:38 He said, I continued driving until, you know, he grabbed it and said, I was too sick to do so. And so what happened was he went to bed that night and he woke up and during the night he said, I have a dream. And someone said, I'm going to fix you. And he said, it was a completely white room. And he said, I'm going to fix you. We're going to fix this. And he said, I felt pressure on my shoulder and I woke up and I was completely fine after that. But slowly he got worse and worse until he went to the doctor and they said, you have a very, very high white blood cell count. And he named off a lot of medical terms. I didn't recognize because that's not my field. But it's the long and the short of this. And the reason why I bring this up is because in the last days we're told there will be many miracles that are wrought. And one of these things that we're noticing by researching and understanding this topic further through these three things that we're told to research, one of the things we've noticed is that there's going to be healings. Healings that present themselves as maybe a sickness previously. So imagine this, just hypothetically, these things present an illness or at least the effects of it. And then suddenly they're able to heal it too. And you're cured. Or maybe they heal the symptoms. And this is presented on TV. This is presented worldwide. And all this to say, we are here. We are the ones that the Bible has been talking about. Worship us. We are the ones to be presented. And by the way, you can worship us in this or that way too. Very interesting things that are going on here. And I think that since Satan and his minions don't know the end from the beginning, they're not all knowing. They have to do tests. This is one of the tests they're doing. They're seeing how they can present these illnesses and how they can heal these illnesses too.
1:11:35 That's what I think. I believe. I don't know. I'm going to give it back to you guys. What do you think about this whole strange situation that's happening here and all these illnesses and stuff? Any comments on that before we... So I think it's interesting that, you know, we're seeing these deceptions from aliens, from orbs, and just the whole gambit in between. And like the story that you had just told, you know, Satan is setting up a chessboard, I think, where he is putting all these pieces in place where he's going to make things really bad, but then he's always also going to present himself as the good guy. Yeah. Where he's going to, like you said, he's going to heal people. And he's going to make it seem like I'm here to protect you. Maybe that's the manifestation of the hierarchy where aliens show up and they're like, we'll protect you from these blue lights. It will protect you from, you know, nuclear disaster or you name it. I think he's just playing both sides to somehow get to a situation where I'm the one on top. Worship me. I've got everything under control. That's just what I think. Very interesting. Yeah. You know, talking about all this stuff, I would say, you know, for a lot of people, it probably raises some anxiety. Like, what do we do? How do we combat this? But I think we always have to come back to the fact of, like, Brad, you going to this man to kind of like see his perspective, like the other side, like what are they thinking about this stuff? Because I can just, I can just kind of foresee some people's watching this and being like, wait, he did it like a ghost tour. Is that what that shirt said? Like, what's he doing? Why is he doing this stuff? But I think there's a difference between, like we'd said in the beginning, going to expose and to like lead people out of deception or going to say, is this real? Could it be? Like, does, is there power in this? But again, I think, you know, we always have to be drawn back to God. He is our source. He's where we find our value. He's also our protection. You know what I mean? So, so God promises to take our anxiety away when we give these things to him. So like, you know, it says towards the end, men's hearts will fail them for fear. But what does the Bible say? Like it says perfect love casts out fear. So when we have Christ, we don't have to fear, you know, we don't have to live the way that the world lives in this crazy frenzied, what are we going to do? You know, we trust we have a relationship with Christ.
1:14:05 And we know that he's going to lead us where we need to go, what we need to do. And he'll prepare us for, for all the things that are coming. Cause I do think there's going to be huge things. You know, I think before our lifetime's over, we're going to see some pretty magnificent signs and wonders from the enemy before our savior arrives. So like knowing that, you know, we need to make sure that our hearts are right with Christ, that we know his voice, that we're following him as a sheep. And so I just, I want to bring up some scriptures. Just because it's comforting to me. All the talk sometimes about the enemy, people are like, oh, so much, you know, sometimes it's just personalities, but they're like, oh yeah, I see the importance of bringing out deception, but where's the hope, you know, like what is it that we're founded on? Why is there so much talk about the enemy and not God? So I think it's good to have a balance, but it's, it's short. There are a couple of short verses, but this is 2 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. The Lord is faithful who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. And we have this confidence. So it's like, no matter what's going on, you can depend on God. He will establish and protect you. And this is kind of the benediction at the end of it, but it says, may the Lord of peace himself give you peace always and every way the Lord be with you all. And so the Lord is faithful. So it's like, no matter what's going on, you can depend on God. And he promises that he will be with us till the end of the age. So that's a beautiful promise.
1:15:37 No matter what's going on, if the world's upside down, if there's orbs everywhere, if you're seeing it right beyond, like beyond your property, like God is still with you. And I love, I love that you're always praying for that and that it was right outside our property. Like kind of proof that, you know, they couldn't come any further. They are still trying. Of course they're going to try, but God set up a boundary because of prayer. I think that's a huge promise. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Thessalonians 3.3. 1 Peter 3.11. 1 Thessalonians 3.13. 1 Peter 3.14. 1 George 16.13. 1 Benedict 07. 16.17. 1 Corinthians 19. 1 Mark 4.20. it goes further than jewelry and we talked about that a little bit um this is first thessalonians and this is paul and it's like his plea for purity and so it's saying finally then brethren it's kind of long sorry it's first thessalonians four and it says finally then brethren we urge and exhort in the lord jesus that you should abound more and more just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please god for you know what commandments we gave you through the lord jesus christ for this is the will of god your sanctification that you should obtain from sexual immorality that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor not in passion of lust like the gentiles who do not know god that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this manner because the lord is the evangelist who is the evangelist who is the evangelist who is the evangelist who is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanliness, but in holiness. Therefore, he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us his Holy Spirit. And so this is kind of, I guess, my plea to those watching, like, don't take our opinions about any of this. Look it up yourself, you know, have a relationship with God, pray about it, see what the Holy Spirit tells you. Because maybe jewelry isn't an issue for you, but you know, maybe the types of clothes you wear can be the downfall. You know what I mean? But this is just a plea to purity. And I had to read this a couple of times because it's talking about how to possess your own vessel in sanctification and honor. So yeah, I think it's talking about sexual immorality. And a lot of times, when I think of that, it's more like clothes, you know, because it's saying no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother. In my mind, it's like sisters in Christ, be careful what you're wearing, be careful how you adorn yourself. Because if you really look at men as brothers, you know, you're not brother, you're my spouse, but Brad, you're my brother, you know? But we need to look at everyone outside of our marriage as a brother. And like, if you have a brother that you love, you want to protect them. You don't want to do them harm. And, you know, lust is a sin. Sexual immorality, God takes seriously. And so if we are sisters in Christ, we need to really start thinking about what does God want from me? And I think more so as time gets close, you know, as Jesus returns, just as God was preparing the Israelites to move into the promised land, he wanted to sanctify them. He wanted to purify them. And he wanted them to remove anything that's going on in their lives. And he wanted them to remove anything that's they were wearing that was of the Egyptians, because that's where they got the idea to wear all these jewels. Like one of the scriptures is like, what is that? The bangles I hear and all this. And it's because they had brought it with them from Egypt. And so God was saying, no, this is not the people I called you to be. You're supposed to be separate. And so today that looks different, I think, in a lot of ways. But I think we as women should really take that seriously.
1:19:37 And I know I haven't my whole life. You know, I feel like I'm just, just to the point where I'm really contemplating, what does this mean for me? And where does God have me in this walk of sanctification? If I, as a woman, aren't, if I'm not searching myself and trying to figure out what needs to change, then I'm not really being sanctified. And so I think it's really important for, you guys aren't women, I think it's important for women to really, you know, take this to heart. And men, I don't know, don't wear tight clothes either. You know, we don't want that. Watch your jewelry. 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. 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 mean, it refers to both of us. Sexual immorality can be in lots of forms. So just searching your own heart and figuring out what it is that we can do to draw closer to God and become sanctified for his glory. Important. Yeah. And although it doesn't pertain to men specifically, I think there was actually a verse in there that talked about men and the pride. I mean, if you really think about it, Satan is not necessarily a man, but with a lot of masculine characteristics that the Bible talks about. And pride is a human thing. It's not just male or female. And so I think it's very interesting that we, as Christians, need to heed that warning. For instance, just like Isaiah 2 says, in that day, man will cast away... Oh, that wasn't the one. Where was it? I lost it already. But it talks about men casting... Yeah, men casting away their idols of silver and gold and all those things to the bats and to the moles. And so that verse alone talks a lot about that. But I've heard people say even in the comments, and I hear it already in the comments because I'm going to read them later, that what is sin? What really should we be focusing on here? Well, the truth is that this can lead you into sin, just as it leads Satan to completely reject God and get rid of that eye. He wanted God for himself. He wanted to be his own moral authority. He wanted to have the pride for himself, all of it. So it's interesting that we... And pride's a very difficult sin because what happens is we don't even... We can't even detect it happening to us.
1:22:07 That's what's so insidious about pride. And so if you're the one that's saying, I think that's not necessary and we should focus on other things, then I think you should evaluate on how much you care about the things that you put on you. I mean, if we're going to be walking on the gold streets of heaven, can you imagine how heaven looks at us right now, putting the... Asphalt of heaven on our earlobes. It's a fun way to put it. But I don't know. What do you think? Yeah. Any closing thoughts on this? Yeah. I think my last thought... I got a lot of thoughts. God made these things, right? Because I can see some people being like, well, God promises to give us crowns, you know? Crowns for his people. But then what do we end up doing with them? We cast them back. Yeah. At his feet. Right. It's ironic. But more than that, it's more like they have their place. God adorned Satan in these things. And we see what happened to Satan, clearly. But God still did that. He, as a gift, I would assume, covered Satan in these beautiful things. And God creates everything that's beautiful.
1:23:29 Is it bad to appreciate beautiful things? No. But again, are we putting ourself on the pedestal or God? Like, in my mind, I'm okay with letting jewelry go. And I actually wrote about this in my diary. I put my diary out there. But I remember at one point, I'd had jewelry at such a high regard in my mind. And God just totally humbled me and said, you don't need jewels. You are my jewel. And I was like, I'm God's jewel. And that just really stuck with me for a long time. I didn't get rid of my jewelry after that. Sadly, I should have. But it's like, there are beautiful things. And these things will be in heaven, because God created them. And they're gorgeous. And he knows that we're drawn to these things. But I think that's why Satan probably put them on us instead. So it's not like we're not going to long for those things in heaven. Well, you could have it now. You know, like, that's just kind of, I guess, what I see in that. Like, there's a reason we long to have these things. But it's, I don't think it's something we should have here now. Yeah. I mean, in Revelations, I think we talked about this earlier. You know, there's the woman in white that represents the pure church. And I don't think she's portrayed in jewelry that I know of. It's more like the moon and stars. And then the harlot that rides the beast, she is completely decked out in like gold and jewels. And I think that that should speak a lot. What is the point?
1:25:06 Why are you? And, you know, being a guy, we don't, obviously, I don't wear a lot of jewelry, hardly any at all. But I think we got to be constantly growing in our walk with the Lord. I mean, that's studying our Bibles, praying, and ministry. And we should always be, I think, growing closer. And that means that we're getting more sanctified, set apart from the world. So I think that's important. 100%. 100%. Thank you. Thank you so much. I appreciate everything you've commented. I thank you for being here. This has been a challenge for me to produce. And it's a little bit, it's exciting, though, because I think we're taking leaps and bounds into a new direction. And as we hopefully someday expand the studio a little bit more, we can have more conversations like this in person. And I'm excited for that. That'd be great. So, Donovan, would you close us with prayer? Oh, absolutely. Father in heaven, Lord, we praise you. And thank you so much for Jesus Christ and for the Word of God that we have freely, especially here in this country. And we thank you, Lord, so much for opening our eyes and for these opportunities to discuss things and to do it in a loving and kind way. And we ask, Lord, that you would please help us to continually discuss these things and bring these things up and search your Word. And I pray that your Spirit would fill us all and help us to understand what you want for us, each and every one of us, as we're all in different situations.
1:26:37 And we ask, Lord, that you would continue to bless this channel. And we thank you so much for the work that Brad's doing. And I pray that you would protect his home and all of our homes, everyone that's listening and watching. Please send your angels to guard and protect us and help us to understand that there is spiritual warfare. And it's not against flesh and blood, but the principalities and powers of darkness. And Lord, we just love you. We thank you so much for this time. And I ask that you would please continue to help us grow closer to you. And we ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much, Donovan. I appreciate it. Folks, if you thought this was an interesting program and something spoke to you about it, join us on Patreon.
