- 00:06 ♪♪♪ David Hart: We are so glad you've joined us today.
- 00:08 We are the Harts, coming to you from Orlando, Florida, and we
- 00:10 have you guys, the Bearded Bible Brothers with us from Dallas,
- 00:14 Texas today.
- 00:17 Caleb Colson: That's right, guys, production has
- 00:19 been swamped.
- 00:20 We are doing so many things and preparing for so many amazing
- 00:24 shows coming up, so we just had to film in our bunker
- 00:28 right here.
- 00:30 This is our Bearded Bible Brothers bunker.
- 00:31 David: Today's about the future, correct, and maybe going back to
- 00:34 the past?
- 00:35 Joshua Colson: That's right, we're gonna look back at the
- 00:37 past at a World War II aircraft carrier to teach a very
- 00:42 important Bible lesson this week.
- 00:44 Kirsten Hart: So, you're going on an aircraft carrier to teach
- 00:47 about the Tribulation.
- 00:49 That's what we do here on "OJR," right?
- 00:52 Caleb: That's right, unconventional, guys, but join
- 00:54 us now, it's gonna be an amazing trip.
- 01:03 Joshua: Really?
- 01:06 Well, by the matching shirts, crazy hair, and well, lack of
- 01:10 studio, you can tell my brother has decided for us to film
- 01:12 an episode on a family vacation.
- 01:15 ♪♪♪
- 01:24 Joshua: Only my brother would take family vacation, a time to
- 01:27 settle down in peace, relax.
- 01:28 But beware, brother, a giant battleship.
- 01:31 Caleb: Battleship, this is a vintage World War II Essex Class
- 01:36 aircraft carrier, the USS Lexington, commissioned in 1943.
- 01:41 This big guy, more records than any Essex Class aircraft carrier
- 01:46 in all of history, it's amazing.
- 01:48 Joshua: I want funnel cake.
- 01:51 Joshua: Meet the USS Lexington.
- 01:54 During World War II, the carrier participated in nearly every
- 01:58 major operation in the Pacific Theater and spent a total of 21
- 02:01 months in combat.
- 02:03 Her planes destroyed 372 enemy aircraft in the air, and 475
- 02:08 more on the ground.
- 02:09 The ship's gun shot down 15 planes and assisted in downing
- 02:13 five more.
- 02:14 Her existence literally turned the tide of the Pacific Theater
- 02:18 front for our allied forces.
- 02:22 Joshua: You know, the Japanese hated this thing so much that on
- 02:25 four separate occasions they reported it sunk just to try to
- 02:28 trick everybody so they wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.
- 02:30 In fact, the propagandas "Tokyo Rose" actually nicknamed this
- 02:33 boat The Blue Ghost.
- 02:35 Caleb: And you guys may be wondering why are you, the
- 02:37 Bearded Bible Brothers talking about these battleships instead
- 02:41 of the Bible?
- 02:42 Joshua: I am wondering that.
- 02:43 Why are we doing that?
- 02:45 Caleb: Well, I've always been fascinated with World War II
- 02:46 history.
- 02:47 It's very interesting, because Satan himself thought this
- 02:50 was it.
- 02:52 He thought this was his moment in history, that this was gonna
- 02:54 be the start of the tribulation, that he was going to embody
- 02:58 Adolf Hitler who would be the beast and annihilate
- 03:01 the Jewish people.
- 03:02 But the thing is, it wasn't God's timing.
- 03:05 Joshua: So, take that, Adolf.
- 03:06 You still lost.
- 03:10 ♪♪♪
- 03:20 Caleb: Never before in any time in history did you
- 03:22 see technology advance so quickly under Hitler's regime.
- 03:26 He installed people like Heinrich Himmler and Albert
- 03:29 Speer, a cultist who spoke to demons, who gave him advanced
- 03:33 insight into technology they never should have had, such as
- 03:36 the first cruise missile, the V-2 rocket, the Horton Ho
- 03:41 stealth aircraft, an IBM computer, you know,
- 03:46 a filing system.
- 03:48 It wasn't a computer, but it was a filing system for the Jewish
- 03:50 people to catalog them as they put them into the ghettos and
- 03:54 then wiped them off at the concentration camps.
- 03:56 Hitler almost created the first atomic bomb.
- 03:59 I was actually in the Adam Keller bunker where Hitler was
- 04:02 building the atomic bomb, and it's a very freaky place.
- 04:05 The pictures on the wall show the scientists there.
- 04:07 They have the chamber where he was actually trying to create
- 04:10 the entire process.
- 04:11 They even had a Geiger counter which we turned on and still
- 04:14 showed radioactivity.
- 04:15 The things that this man did, including a bunker where he was
- 04:18 building the Messerschmitt, 30,000 Jews died in less than
- 04:22 six months of time just through hard labor building the bunker
- 04:26 to cover up what he was doing in this forest.
- 04:31 ♪♪♪
- 04:41 Caleb: And that was just the normal sort of technology that
- 04:44 Hitler was using.
- 04:45 He was also involved in fringe and occult sciences.
- 04:49 He created hovercraft.
- 04:50 He was working on the Die Glocke experiment, time machines.
- 04:54 I know this sounds crazy, like science fiction, but he was
- 04:57 mixing the black arts, witchcraft into technology to
- 05:02 try to create super weapons, wunderwaffe, to wipe out the
- 05:07 entire planet and to take over control as the one
- 05:11 world dictator.
- 05:14 Joshua: But God said no.
- 05:16 It didn't matter.
- 05:18 It came to a point where through all the experiments, all the
- 05:21 mayhem, all the advancements that were made, God drew the
- 05:23 line and said, done.
- 05:25 Caleb: Now is not the time.
- 05:27 It wasn't time for prophecy to be fulfilled.
- 05:34 Joshua: I'm gonna sink your battleship, brother.
- 05:43 Joshua: It's not meant for tall people.
- 05:45 There's a reason I was never on one of these boats.
- 05:49 Oh, yep, there's the reason.
- 05:53 Fits you perfectly though.
- 05:55 I said it fits you perfectly, I'm too tall.
- 06:00 ♪♪♪
- 06:12 Joshua: You know, if we look to the future, God has
- 06:15 given us an exact blueprint of how this Satan incarnate
- 06:21 character will actually succeed in his ventures.
- 06:23 But right now, we wanna give you a little taste of that in this
- 06:26 upcoming battle.
- 06:27 Caleb: A sneak peek, if you will, guys.
- 06:29 Most people don't know, but the largest naval battle in all of
- 06:32 history occurs during the battle of Armageddon, and it starts
- 06:37 with Daniel chapter 11.
- 06:38 Daniel chapter 11 is the most precise play-by-play prophecy of
- 06:44 historic events before they occurred, fulfilled with exact
- 06:49 detail at any other place in all of history.
- 06:51 That is from chapter 1, verse 1 to 28.
- 06:56 We see how the Persian Empire falls, Alexander the Great
- 06:59 takes over.
- 07:00 After his death, it's split to his four generals, and
- 07:03 eventually Antiochus Epiphanes IV, this Seleucid quarter
- 07:08 of the empire, he takes over this Greco-Syrian, and that's
- 07:13 when we get to verse 29, a very important verse.
- 07:17 Joshua: Daniel 11:29-31, "At the appointed time he shall return
- 07:22 and go towards the south, but it shall not be like the former or
- 07:25 the latter.
- 07:26 For ships from Cyprus shall come against him, therefore he shall
- 07:29 be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant,
- 07:33 and do damage.
- 07:34 So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake
- 07:38 the holy covenant.
- 07:39 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the
- 07:43 sanctuary fortress, then they shall take away the daily
- 07:46 sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation."
- 07:51 [groaning]
- 07:53 ♪♪♪
- 07:55 [chuckling]
- 07:59 Caleb: So, this was the first abomination of desolation to
- 08:02 take place in which Antiochus Epiphanes IV, stirred by the
- 08:07 rage of these coming battleships, turns his anger
- 08:10 against the Jewish people to try to annihilate them.
- 08:13 But you see, it's like a parallel prophecy.
- 08:15 These prophecies that happened in the past, present, and
- 08:18 future, Satan commits the same exact acts in the body of the
- 08:22 beast in the future.
- 08:23 Joshua: Caleb calls these one of these pillars of time.
- 08:26 You see, we talked about this about a year ago on our episode,
- 08:29 and the Jewish people believe that time does move forward, but
- 08:33 that it moves in a helix pattern like we see in DNA, and that
- 08:36 certain prophetic things, they can't be undone.
- 08:38 They're pillars, they happen cyclically, over, and over, and
- 08:41 over again, like the moedim.
- 08:42 Caleb: That's true, and so in the future, the beast is going
- 08:45 to commit these acts against the Jewish people, and it's gonna be
- 08:50 no different than what Antiochus IV committed in the past.
- 08:54 And so, let's look at this next coming prophecy spoken about in
- 08:57 Daniel 11, in which you see these parallel prophecies of
- 09:02 these Maccabees as they're revolting against Antiochus
- 09:05 fulfilled as it bleeds across time and is finally coming to
- 09:09 a close in the future with the beast and the saints that fight
- 09:13 against him.
- 09:15 Joshua: I think they sell funnel cake, two, please.
- 09:19 Joshua: Daniel 11:32-35, "Those who do wickedly against the
- 09:23 covenant he shall corrupt with flattery, but the people who
- 09:27 know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.
- 09:30 And those of the people who understand shall instruct many,
- 09:34 yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame,
- 09:38 by captivity and plundering.
- 09:39 Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help, but
- 09:43 many shall join with them by intrigue.
- 09:46 And some of those of understanding shall fall,
- 09:48 to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time
- 09:52 of the end, because it is still for the appointed time."
- 09:57 ♪♪♪
- 10:07 ♪♪♪
- 10:15 Caleb: So as you can see from that prophecy, this was talking
- 10:18 about the Maccabean revolt, the rebellion that freed them from
- 10:21 the hands of Antiochus Epiphanes, but it's also
- 10:24 referring to the saints that defy the beast in the future.
- 10:28 They form a rebellion, of course we know how it ends with them,
- 10:30 they are beheaded, but this time of the end is a phrase that's
- 10:34 repeated over and over again in prophecy.
- 10:37 It bleeds across time and that leads us to our next prophecy.
- 10:41 I know if you're not convinced yet, it's going to continue
- 10:43 because this really sets up the beast as he steps into his
- 10:47 full power.
- 10:48 Joshua: Daniel 11:36, "Then the king shall do according to his
- 10:52 own will, he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god,
- 10:56 shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall
- 10:59 prosper till the wrath has been accomplished, for what has been
- 11:02 determined shall be done."
- 11:07 ♪♪♪
- 11:19 Caleb: Now, most Bible prophecy experts believe that that verse
- 11:22 refers to the beast himself, who most people call the Antichrist.
- 11:26 And let's look at the more detailed evidence in verses 40
- 11:29 through 45.
- 11:31 Joshua: It's right there.
- 11:32 I found him.
- 11:34 Joshua: Daniel 11:40-45, "At the time of the end."
- 11:36 see, this is talking about the tribulation, "The king of the
- 11:39 South shall attack him and the king of the North shall come
- 11:42 against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and
- 11:45 with many ships."
- 11:46 This is the beginning of the naval battle of Armageddon.
- 11:49 "And he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and
- 11:52 pass through.
- 11:53 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries
- 11:55 shall be overthrown.
- 11:57 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the
- 11:59 land of Egypt shall not escape.
- 12:01 But news from the east and north shall trouble him, therefore he
- 12:05 shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many.
- 12:08 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and
- 12:12 the glorious holy mountain, yet he shall come to his end, and
- 12:15 no one will help him."
- 12:17 [explosions]
- 12:22 Joshua: Fifteen knots, starboard, straight over there.
- 12:26 Quick, before In-N-Out closes.
- 12:28 ♪♪♪
- 12:34 Joshua: Alright, we should be clear.
- 12:37 Caleb: Right, as you can see, this prophecy parallels what
- 12:40 happened with Antiochus with the beast.
- 12:42 He goes to invade the king of the south, this is Egypt as we
- 12:46 can see with Antiochus, but this is a northern African alliance
- 12:49 as it mentions in verse 43, Libyans, Ethiopians, and Egypt
- 12:53 that are involved.
- 12:54 And then you have the northern king, which is of course a
- 12:56 Russia conglomerate with other nations that are involved with
- 13:00 that, and then the kings of the east from China with other
- 13:04 nations are allied with them.
- 13:06 These are three kings that are mentioned, part of the ten-king
- 13:10 nation conglomerate from Revelation 13 and Revelation 17.
- 13:14 But let's see how these three kings do rebel.
- 13:17 It's already recounted back in the book of Daniel that they
- 13:20 have a problem with this beast king.
- 13:22 Joshua: Daniel 7:8, "While I was thinking about the horns, there
- 13:26 before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among
- 13:29 them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it."
- 13:33 ♪♪♪
- 13:42 [whistling]
- 13:45 Joshua: Catch me, Jack, I'm flying.
- 13:49 You know, these three kings, they represent a thorn in the
- 13:52 side of the beast.
- 13:53 They become a thorn in his side.
- 13:54 Now, these are ten districts that the earth is carved into,
- 13:57 not ten nations in Europe like most Bible prophets have taught
- 13:59 in the past.
- 14:01 Caleb: It's true, Josh, and so you have this northern African
- 14:04 district, it includes Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia as we
- 14:06 already discussed.
- 14:08 You have the northern kingdom from the north, so that's the
- 14:10 kingdom of the south.
- 14:12 The kingdom of the north is Russia and whatever alliance
- 14:13 with other countries are within it's boundaries, and then these
- 14:17 kings of the east, that's what really disturbs the beast, he
- 14:19 says, because it's a 200 million man army that tries to cross
- 14:24 over all of Asia to reach Jerusalem to just take it over.
- 14:28 Jerusalem becomes a cup of trembling to the nations as
- 14:31 everyone vies for power, for dominance, over this
- 14:36 single-city state.
- 14:37 This is what the battle of Armageddon is actually
- 14:39 about, Josh.
- 14:40 It's seven kings fighting against three kings
- 14:43 that rebelled.
- 14:44 Joshua: Wow, 200 million man army.
- 14:46 That's almost as big as that iceberg right there, holy cow.
- 14:54 ♪♪♪
- 15:05 ♪♪♪
- 15:14 Joshua: Oh, man, that was so cool.
- 15:15 I wanna do that, hold on, yeah.
- 15:21 Caleb: Aright, guys, this is where battleship comes in,
- 15:24 because these northern Russian kings, as forces sends their
- 15:28 battle fleet from the Black Sea, past Istanbul, into the Aegean
- 15:33 Sea, down to the Mediterranean to the coast of Israel, the
- 15:37 beast is freaked out.
- 15:38 He puts his whole armies in the Valley of Megiddo to block
- 15:41 Jerusalem from the Mediterranean Sea so the Russian forces can't
- 15:44 get there.
- 15:46 Battle rages, this is battleship.
- 15:48 This is the contention.
- 15:49 Joshua: Now, I know you're probably saying this is the
- 15:52 worst Bible story ever, it's all about the beast, and the future,
- 15:55 and Antiochus in the past.
- 15:57 Israel gets caught in the middle and they're decimated,
- 15:59 but I promise you there is good news.
- 16:01 Caleb: There is absolutely good news, guys, because
- 16:03 Yeshua comes.
- 16:04 He comes in the clouds.
- 16:06 We're following after him on white horses, and then suddenly
- 16:09 all the infighting between the seven kings and the three kings,
- 16:11 it stops.
- 16:13 They turn their sights on Yeshua, King of kings and Lord
- 16:15 of lords.
- 16:16 They all fight against him, but he fights gloriously as in the
- 16:18 day of battle.
- 16:19 The Jewish remnant fights for their very existence, but Yeshua
- 16:22 saves them and they look upon him who they have pierced, and
- 16:26 they all, the remnant of Israel, finally believes upon Yeshua
- 16:29 the Messiah.
- 16:31 Now, let's jump to Daniel 12 as we conclude this story.
- 16:34 Joshua: Daniel 12:1-2, "At that time Michael, the great prince
- 16:38 who protects your people, will arise.
- 16:40 There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from
- 16:43 the beginning of nations until then.
- 16:46 But at that time your people, everyone whose name is found
- 16:49 written in the book, will be delivered.
- 16:51 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to
- 16:54 everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt."
- 17:00 Caleb: Guys, that's the resurrection of the dead.
- 17:02 That's when people go before the sheep and goats judgment.
- 17:06 After Yeshua is victorious, sheep are separated from the
- 17:09 goats, he begins his millennial reign.
- 17:12 You wanna be on the good side, the sheep side, when that
- 17:15 judgment occurs.
- 17:16 Joshua: Yes, we know a lot of bad happens between now and
- 17:18 then, but God is always victorious just as the
- 17:21 USS Lexington was during World War II.
- 17:23 Caleb: That's right.
- 17:29 Joshua: I don't think I like it anymore.
- 17:32 It's like being in a hobbit prison.
- 17:36 ♪♪♪
- 18:17 Kirsten: Joshua and Caleb are back in the studio from their
- 18:21 excursion, and I've gotta say, you guys look alike, but I
- 18:25 didn't realize you dressed like twins.
- 18:27 People are gonna think you're twins after watching this.
- 18:31 Joshua: It's very important when you go on vacation to wear the
- 18:33 same shirt so you don't get lost, and we're so small and
- 18:36 dainty that we might have gotten lost on that aircraft carrier,
- 18:38 and then it would have taken forever for us to get back home.
- 18:40 Kirsten: But here's an interesting point, with AI in
- 18:44 the future, we could clone the both of you dressed as
- 18:47 twins, right?
- 18:48 I mean, AI is crazy.
- 18:51 Caleb: Technology is getting crazy.
- 18:53 Just like Satan used Hitler to advance technology to try to
- 18:57 hunt down God's people, I think Satan's gonna use AI in the
- 19:00 future, but we had to talk to an expert on this matter.
- 19:04 Rich Schmidt.
- 19:05 We interviewed him and I hope you enjoy his interview
- 19:07 right now.
- 19:09 Dr. Richard R. Schmidt: Well, it's very interesting, because
- 19:10 artificial intelligence does have some very valuable things
- 19:13 that are taking place in society, but when you look at
- 19:17 what really got my attention, when you look at Revelation
- 19:19 chapter 13, specifically when we're talking about the one
- 19:23 world economy, the one world religion, the one world
- 19:26 government, that really got me.
- 19:29 Because in Revelation 13:15 it talks about the image of the
- 19:33 beast that basically will be put in the third temple which is yet
- 19:37 to be built, and this image has the ability to speak, process
- 19:41 information, it's able to track down people from all over
- 19:45 the world.
- 19:47 I mean, we're just not talking Jerusalem, we're talking the
- 19:48 entire world that'll be able to track down information and
- 19:51 literally cause those who aren't worshiping the image to die.
- 19:55 How in the world can that take place with the kind of
- 19:58 technology, or even with an individual?
- 20:01 So, this really sparked my, if you will, imagination as to,
- 20:05 well, is AI gonna play a part?
- 20:07 Is transhumanism going to play a part?
- 20:09 So, all these things really started to kick in as to, wow,
- 20:13 is this really the artificial intelligence in basically it's
- 20:17 infancy stages right now, is it going to develop to what the
- 20:22 millionaires and multibillionaires wanna do,
- 20:25 which is basically create a godlike a machine or people that
- 20:30 have gone through the transhumanist kind of evolution,
- 20:33 so to speak?
- 20:34 So, it's very interesting that there appears to be a very
- 20:37 strong prophetic nexus with what's taking place with
- 20:40 artificial intelligence right now.
- 20:42 When you look at it again, and I love Revelation 13.
- 20:45 To me, it's like the powerhouse of what's coming.
- 20:48 It just spells everything out.
- 20:50 Everyone, the world, all nations, tongues, languages,
- 20:54 will be worshiping the Antichrist, why?
- 20:57 The big thing is this Antichrist, whoever he's going
- 21:01 to be, whatever he'll be called, the world savior, who knows what
- 21:04 they'll call him, but he'll come on the scene, he'll have
- 21:08 tremendous charisma, be able to pull people into him, all of
- 21:11 a sudden, everybody gets a hit on their cell phone, this great
- 21:15 world leader appears to be dead, catastrophic wound,
- 21:21 and what happens?
- 21:22 The resurrection of the Antichrist.
- 21:24 It's just like, I mean, you look at what the Messiah,
- 21:27 what Christ did.
- 21:29 Everything Satan does mimics what Christ did,
- 21:32 yeah, absolutely.
- 21:34 So, when we see this alleged miracle take place, I mean,
- 21:38 it's just amazing.
- 21:39 The Bible says not only will they worship the Antichrist, but
- 21:43 this is what's amazing, I don't even know how this is gonna be
- 21:45 possible, but they'll worship Satan as well.
- 21:48 They'll just buy into it.
- 21:50 It's an amazing thought.
- 21:53 Kirsten: It's absolutely fascinating to me to think that
- 21:56 the beast could actually be AI, artificial intelligence.
- 22:01 I mean, this is something relatively new that's on the
- 22:05 world scene, so now as we look at prophecy, we're looking at it
- 22:10 with the thought of AI could completely be involved and this
- 22:17 is new to us, new to prophetic words here.
- 22:20 David: Are you guys testing it out?
- 22:21 Are you using it at all?
- 22:23 Caleb: I've tested out making an AI image once, and it was such
- 22:26 an abomination I say I will never use you again.
- 22:30 But honestly, guys, it's true.
- 22:32 Demonic spirits can attach themselves to idols.
- 22:35 In times past to objects, even indwelling an image of the
- 22:38 beast, why can't it come inside a computer and control those
- 22:42 processes and tell it what to do?
- 22:43 I wouldn't put anything past Satan.
- 22:45 Kirsten: Right, and AI is actually replacing actors.
- 22:49 I mean, this is a big situation, a big problem right now.
- 22:53 And gosh, to think that this world power that would have all
- 22:58 these people following him would be something artificial is
- 23:02 just--it it really is fascinating to look at
- 23:05 prophecies that way.
- 23:07 David: Joshua, I think you talked to Jeff Kinley about this
- 23:11 subject, didn't you?
- 23:13 Joshua: I had a very fantastic conversation with Jeff Kenley
- 23:15 talking about the end times and all the potentials that
- 23:17 could happen.
- 23:19 So, why don't we go ahead and check out that conversation
- 23:20 right now?
- 23:22 Jeff Kinley: So with America, I think what we're under is the
- 23:25 abandonment wrath of God.
- 23:26 When you read Romans chapter 1 it tells you these are the signs
- 23:30 of a nation, a civilization, that is already under the
- 23:34 abandonment wrath of God.
- 23:35 In other words, this is not what you do to get judged, this is
- 23:38 a sign that you have been judged.
- 23:40 So you have the rejection of God as creator, the sexual
- 23:43 revolution, homosexual revolution, inventors of evil to
- 23:46 the point where God says he gives them over to
- 23:49 their own sin.
- 23:50 With Israel right now, Romans 11 tells us that Israel is under
- 23:53 a partial hardening until the fullness of the Gentiles
- 23:57 has come in.
- 23:58 And I take that fullness to mean when the church has been
- 24:01 complete, the church has been raptured, God's gonna turn all
- 24:03 his attention.
- 24:04 I tell people like this, it's like God has Israel, and then
- 24:07 all of a sudden, the Jewish people rejected Messiah, he put
- 24:09 Israel on the back burner, but he's not done with her.
- 24:11 And so, now he's dealing with Jew and Gentile across the whole
- 24:14 world, and then when the rapture happens, he's gonna turn his
- 24:16 attention for that back burner to the front burner, and all of
- 24:19 his attention is basically gonna be on Israel during that time.
- 24:22 Joshua: Wow, so how do we avoid this?
- 24:24 How do we avoid the wrath and how do we avoid the judgment,
- 24:26 and how do we stop it now?
- 24:28 Like, what can we do now?
- 24:30 Because I know for myself, I wanna make as big an impact
- 24:33 for God today.
- 24:35 We talked a lot about, you know, you talk one-third is gonna be
- 24:37 savable, two-thirds is gonna perish as we've talked about
- 24:39 diminishing that total number of people that have the opportunity
- 24:43 to be lost by witnessing.
- 24:44 How can we avoid this coming judgment?
- 24:48 Jeff: I mean, basically it's about being salt and light for
- 24:49 Christ in the world today.
- 24:51 We have to tell people what the true gospel is, to tell them
- 24:54 that Christ has died for their sins.
- 24:56 That in light of everything that is happening in the world today,
- 24:58 everyone's seeing it, it's not as if no one's seeing what
- 25:01 that's going on.
- 25:02 I mean, now we've got this war in Israel, I mean, this
- 25:04 is the golden moment for believers to be able to point
- 25:08 people to the Messiah, to point people to salvation,
- 25:11 because the whole world is setting up for the end times.
- 25:13 And so, it's a great kind of segue to say, hey, have you
- 25:16 noticed what's going on in the world today?
- 25:17 You know, the Bible says something about that, and it
- 25:20 tells us we're headed towards a time, essentially we're ramping
- 25:23 up to Revelation.
- 25:24 So, I think it's a great segue people have, a gift from God,
- 25:27 if you will, these times to be able to help people know who
- 25:30 Christ is and how to come to him.
- 25:32 Joshua: I know that so many generations have felt that the
- 25:35 end is close, and hearing everything that we just heard in
- 25:38 that conversation shows us even more how imperative it is that
- 25:42 we get right with the Lord.
- 25:44 It doesn't matter to me, it's not a question of is it
- 25:46 tomorrow, is it a hundred years from now, the question is,
- 25:49 today, this day, whom will you serve?
- 25:53 If you've been putting it off, if you've been in any way not
- 25:57 pursuing the Father, not giving your life to him, you don't have
- 26:01 another minute to spare.
- 26:02 You don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring and what
- 26:04 will happen.
- 26:06 Today, the Word says, is the day of salvation.
- 26:08 So, I want you to do this.
- 26:09 It's very simple.
- 26:10 You say, Father, forgive me for my sins.
- 26:12 I accept that you sent your only Son, Yeshua, to live a perfect
- 26:15 life and to die for me, and that he rose again on the third day,
- 26:18 and he's preparing a place for me.
- 26:20 I want you to come into my life and be my Savior.
- 26:22 When you pray that and submit your life to him by faith, then
- 26:26 you are there with him for eternity.
- 26:29 Kirsten: The topic of today's program could be overwhelming
- 26:32 for people, it could be depressing, but in the end,
- 26:37 we have hope.
- 26:38 There's peace, there's joy coming, so do not--
- 26:42 we can't fear.
- 26:43 We can't live in fear of this AI and what's coming, we know
- 26:46 ultimately Christ wins, and he's coming back again.
- 26:50 David: And such good, insightful information today.
- 26:52 We wanna continue to bring you this information of what's going
- 26:56 on in our world today.
