Welcome back to Be Not Deceived. Today is 01/01/2026. We are here to have a prophecy update and I have pastor Rick Baudre here from Calvary Chapel Bremerton as my special guest. Thanks for having me. And I also have Mark Dinsmore here who is a wonderful biblical teacher and one of our dearest friends and I'm so thankful that you're here to share with us looking ahead to see what's happening in our world and see what maybe the Bible says about what's going to be happening and now that we've entered into, year 2026. Fantastic. I think, we will start with, reading Matthew 24. You were sharing with us a moment ago and I think, our our listeners, would love to see what the bible says about predictions of, what God's plan is. Absolutely. Thank you, Vicky. It's it's getting exciting, really is. And as believers in Christ, of course, we have, the ultimate hope in our coming king and our savior. And, as the days grow evil, scriptures say, we need to redeem the time so much the more as we see the day approaching, gathering together, worshiping with the saints, teaching the word. And, there's a tendency among many Christians, but also lots of YouTubers and bloggers and social media influencers who are rightly exposing a lot of the evils in the world with the establishmentarian governments around the world, the the new world order emerging, the global government emerging. And so just as a a church that I formerly attended, the pastor accused me of spreading fear and conspiracy Oh. When I was all I was doing was teaching bible prophecy, going through Daniel, going through Revelation, and explaining how what we see happening in the world today was already prophesied and foretold in the scriptures. And so one of the passages that I think is instructive and encouraging to look at as we start this discussion because these subjects can create fear and anxiety in people, partly because of the unknown, partly because we're on the the cusp of of perhaps losing everything that makes us comfortable that we're familiar with. We wanna see traditions continue. We wanna see families continue. We wanna see, things of comfort and enjoyment, continue. And yet, as we understand from the scriptures, these things must and are changing, and it's changing rapidly. And so that in itself is creating a lot of uncertainty and some anxiety. So I think it's helpful to look at Matthew 24, and this is where the disciples came to Jesus and, asked him about the signs of the times. And, so we see here in chapter 24 of Matthew, the disciples had came to him privately in verse three and said, tell us, when will these things happen and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? Same questions many have today. And Jesus answered and said to them, see to it that no one misleads you. Right? Be not deceived. Deceived. Matthew 20 Yeah. That's our For many Scripture. Will come in my name saying, I am the Christ and was mislead many. So we could get into a tangent of the Antichrist. John told us that even now there are many Antichrist. Right? So it's gonna be the Antichrist, capital a, but there are many Antichrist now. In fact, everyone who is a new age believer believes that they are God or a part of God. That's an antichrist. That's an antichrist spirit. You'll be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. Verse six, see that you were not frightened, Jesus said, for those things must take place, but the end is not yet. Right? Right. And so as we look forward into 2026, we're gonna take a look at the cover of The Economist magazine. Many are familiar already that this is a a globalist publication, and they often love to put clues on the artwork or the illustration of the cover of the magazine looking forward to the year ahead that often, some believe, predict events that are going to take place because they're partly orchestrated. They're partly organized or planned. And there is some truth to that. At the same time, we need to be careful not to overanalyze these symbols because I think the the folks that publish these things also enjoy seeing everyone running around trying to figure out the puzzle. And and in that sense, they're kind of mocking us. But they they really are in control of many world events. But ultimately, they are deceived and deceiving others. They're deceived by Satan. God has given them over to a strong delusion. It says, Paul warned us that in the end, perilous times would come, and there would be evil men and seducers growing worse and worse, multiplying around the globe, and that's exactly what we see today. Mhmm. But yet Jesus says here in Matthew 24 verse seven, nation will rise against nation. Of course, that's ethnos against ethnos. We see that as, different cultures, nationalities, quote, unquote, races are pitted against each other and kingdom against kingdom. So these are political entities, political powers. And in various places, there'll be famines and earthquakes, but these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. And so these are all pre tribulation tribulations. So I call it small t tribulation as opposed to capital t tribulation. And yet Jesus here is telling us beforehand that these things must take place, and he also tells his disciples, you know, not to be anxious, for I am with you even until the end of the age. So as pastor Rick was sharing in our earlier segment, we're in the church age, and Jesus is with us throughout this age. And he will be with those in the next age throughout the tribulation for those who call upon his name, they will be saved. And so there's gonna be a time of great revival, and precedent revival, as the tribulation sets on. So right now, the church should not be anxious for what's happening. It is with some lament and some, sadness that we see such deception and and so much destruction. You know, the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. And so when we talk about these things, our purpose isn't to spread fear and conspiracy as a former pastor of mine accused me of doing, but it is to, number one, expose the deception, expose the lie so that people are not manipulated, so that they're not fearful, and so that they're not misled into supposing that just voting harder, as as pastor Rick has mentioned, will will save or change the course of history. Because we we can't do that because it's already recorded in the Bible. It's already foretold these events that must take place. Right. Very good. Yeah. That's that's awesome. I I, I don't wanna have a prophecy update without knowing what the bible says about what the future holds and, how important that is to to, bring that to the forefront because there's a lot of plans and discussions and dreams that the secular world and the world society around us globally have in store, which includes, robotics, AI, economic control. There's a lot of things going on. What are some of the things that you are seeing, pastor, about our world today and maybe thinking about 2026. Do you know of any things that you've heard that are being predicted? I think the biggest thing that I'm anticipating is an economic collapse. Mhmm. And with gold up over $4 and silver at seventy seventy three seventy four. And Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway divest himself of his stocks and having 350,000,000,000 cash ready. Mhmm. It would seem to be that with 1929 numbers in the stock market and all that's going on is they're getting ready to put in the new system. And the new system, the digital system, needs the present system to implode upon itself. Yeah. And that that, I think, is the number one thing in 2026 that's in motion right now. We have to look at the map of the world because the miercuprum, the banker flip we uncovered the moment JPMorgan and The US giants went net long on silver is not just a trade. It is a geopolitical declaration of war, but it's not a war against Russia. It's not a war against China. It is a war against the United States dollar. When the biggest bank in America, the bank that effectively acts as the right arm of the Federal Reserve decides to hoard precious metals, they are sending a signal that echoes through the halls of history. They're saying, we no longer trust the paper we print. You have to understand the gravity of this. JPMorgan is the dollar system. They are the primary dealer. They are the plumbing of the Fiat Ponzi scheme. For them to bet on silver is like the Pope betting against the Catholic church. It is an act of heresy. Unless unless they know the church is burning down. This brings us to the great reset. For years, people thought this was a conspiracy theory. They thought it was about tracking chips or eating bugs. But in financial terms, the great reset is very simple. It is the end of a debt cycle. It is the moment when the mathematical impossibility of the current system meets reality. It is the moment when the debt becomes unpayable and the currency must be debased to zero to wipe the slate clean. JPMorgan knows this. Citi knows this. They have the best analysts in the world. They sit in the meetings with the treasury department. They see the tax receipts. They see the interest payments on the national debt hitting $1,000,000,000,000 a year. They see the fiscal dominance, and they realized something in December 2025. The US dollar is mathematically doomed. So what does a rational predator do when the ship is sinking? Do they keep rearranging the deck chairs? Do they keep buying US treasury bonds that yield 4% while inflation runs at 10%? No. They run to the lifeboats. And in the history of finance, there are only two lifeboats that never sink, gold and silver. By flipping net long on silver, The US banks have effectively shorting the dollar. You buy silver to protect purchasing power. You buy silver if you believe the currency is going to lose value. If JPMorgan believed in the soft landing, if they believed in the strength of The US economy, they would be short silver and long the dollar. They would be betting on the status quo, but they flipped. They switched sides. This is the canary in the coal mine. They are front running the inevitable devaluation of the currency. They are positioning themselves to be on the winning side of the wealth transfer. They know that when the reset happens, wealth isn't destroyed. It is transferred. It transfers from the holders of paper, bonds, cash, to the holders of hard assets, gold, silver, land. For forty years, The US banks suppressed silver to protect the dollar. A rising gold and silver price is a report card on the currency. If silver goes to a $100, it means the dollar gets an f. So the government and the banks work together to keep the price down, to mask the inflation, to make the dollar look strong. This was the strong dollar policy. But the flip signals that the strong dollar policy is dead. They have abandoned the defense. They are letting the castle walls fall. Why? Because they realized they can no longer defend it against the rising tide of the East. They realized that if they keep shorting silver, they will just be handing cheap metal to China and Russia. They decided that if the dollar is going to die, they might as well be the ones holding the murder weapon, silver. This is a strategic pivot of empire ending proportions. It means The US financial elite have accepted the decline. They are preparing for a post dollar world. A world where full faith and credit is replaced by weight and measure. Think about the timing. Debt to GDP is a 125%. The BRICS nations are expanding. Saudi Arabia is selling oil in Yuan. The petrodollar, the system that allowed The US to export inflation to the world, is fracturing. In this environment, holding a naked short position on gold or silver is suicide. It is standing in front of a freight train of history. JPMorgan is not suicidal. They are survivors. They survived the civil war. They survived the great depression. They survived 2008. How? By being ruthless, by knowing when to betray their masters. And right now, they are betraying the Federal Reserve note to save their own balance sheet. This confirms the reset because a reset requires a revaluation. To clear the debt, the price of gold and silver must be allowed to rise significantly to backstop the new system. We're talking about gold at $10,000 or $20,000, silver at $200 or $500. This isn't inflation. This is the currency collapsing against the constant of money. The banks are positioning for this revaluation. They wanna be long when the holiday is declared. They wanna be long when the president comes on TV and announces a new dollar. If they were short, they will be bankrupt. By being long, they become the kings of the new system. This is why the suppression stopped. The suppression was a tool for the old system. In the new system, high metal prices are actually necessary to capitalize the central banks. The US holds 8,000 tons of gold allegedly. If gold goes to $20,000, The US balance sheet looks healthy again. The banks have realized that the government wants higher prices now. The game has changed from suppress to inflate. Yeah. And we're watching people having to use their credit cards to buy food now, and they're defaulting on those credit cards. And we're watching the foreclosure phenomenon in Florida and other parts of the country begin to escalate. And BlackRock stands ready to buy gobble up all the tangible assets, all the houses and everything That are gonna collapse. To fulfill Klaus Schwab's thing. You'll owe nothing and be happy. Yeah. And then the stack and pack cities, we're watching these apartment buildings Yeah. Be put in every city, everywhere where That's true. In Southern California, they're taking down the South Coast Plaza Mall. Trinity Broadcasting sold their property. The Westminster Mall is empty. They're taking these malls and they're demoing them, and they're bringing in stack and pack housing with with high density retail and where you walk fifteen minute cities. They're already being built here. They're being built everywhere. They've had in places like Hong Kong and in other cities in Asia for a very long time. Right. I visited there in the late eighties on a publishing trip, and I was so amazed and impressed as a as a young college graduate. 30 story towers, 50 of them, all grouped together with shopping malls in between. The the the and the the luxury apartments were 300 square feet. Oh. And my friend who is a Chinese graphic illustrator, they were very pleased to have an apartment in this in this building. They lived and worked in Downtown Hong Kong, but they they commuted to Kowloon where this great city is called City 1. And so it was just as you're describing, stack and pack cities where thousands upon thousands of people lived in a very concentrated area, and everything they had they needed was right there. Mhmm. Yeah. They call them fifteen minute cities because you can only go out your door for fifteen minutes. And you can look at, like you say, in China and other places with them already, but then also they call them smart cities, where they're heavily surveillance watching and recording and listening everything people do. Now another aspect of what we're looking at is enormous amount of deception. So if Elon Musk is telling everybody you're gonna get a universal basic income High income. High income Yeah. And you're not gonna have to work anymore, that goes contrary to God's word. And you really can achieve universal high income. That's the greatest socialist solution of all time. Like, literally, no one will have to work. Correct. But like I said, so so there is a benign scenario here, which I think probably people will be happy with if if as long as we we achieve it, which is sustainable abundance, which is if if everyone can have every like like, like, if if you ask people, like, what's the future that you want? Right. And I I think a future where we haven't destroyed nature, like, can still we have the national parks. We have the the Amazon Rainforest. It's still it's still there. We haven't paved we haven't paved the paved the rainforest. Like, the the natural beauty is still there, but but people have nonetheless, everyone has abundance. Everyone has excellent medical care. Everyone has whatever goods and services they want. And we will just It's it's kinda sounds like heaven. It sounds like it it is like the ideal socialist utopia. And this idea that the only thing you should be doing with your time is working in order to pay your bills and feed yourself. Sounds kind of archaic considering the kind of technology that's at play. Yeah. Like, a world where that's not your concern at all anymore. Everybody has money for food. Everybody has abundance. Everybody has electronics in their home. Everybody essentially has a high income. Now you can kind of do whatever you want, and your day can now be exploring your interests. Yeah. There's a curse upon man. You're gonna work by the sweat of your brow. So their utopia, their golden age that they're selling to people, is to gain compliance, to get as many people to willingly comply with getting a universal base, I mean, getting the real ID, the biometric ID. They're really pushing hard, the biometric ID, in every country right now because without the biometric ID, they can't implement the blockchain digital financial system. So they got a lot of layers, lot of different things in play, the globalist, to bring compliance. And then, as some have said, at first, they'll give incentives, they'll incentivize it, and then later they'll bring the stick, the enforcement. If you don't, then your bank account will be shut off. Even Bank of America already, these major banks shut off certain bank accounts now. Right, control. If you It's all about control. And then we're gonna see it with our Facebook accounts, social media, more and more censorship, more and more lack of free speech. And anything you say in The UK, at the door because a guy tweeted something. And you're being arrested in The UK. So more and more tyranny, more and more government control through the AI system moving forward. That's just laying the foundation for the beast system that is forming. That you can't have a beast system as far as economic without having a digital ID or a digital bank account because it says in Revelation that you have to to buy or sell, you have to have a mark on your forehead or your hand, your right hand to be able to to buy something. Right. So you can't have cash and control without having universal bank accounts. And then they're projecting, they're saying we're not gonna need these phones anymore, which are crucial in China. You have to have a phone for their digital system. But the other day, last week they had a picture of a guy in his arm, a tattoo that was a communicating system. Just right. Yeah. So under the scanner on top of the scanner. Yeah. So And then Neuralink. Wow. Neuralink is really being pushed hard right now. That your body will be the cell phone. The battery for the cell Right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you won't have the cell phone anymore. Your body will be the cell phone and the battery and the whole thing. And then of course, conjunction with the compliance. Yeah. The pressure, how well, how is the test, see how they will, how many people around the whole world will respond to pressure. Yeah. You know, not just pressure, but collective pressure. And it would appear with President Trump using or training with Pete Heska, the thing of war, they're training troops to quell rebellion in US cities. Getting them ready for the eventuality what they see coming where we're actually need boots on the ground to to quell, you know, the the riots and the craziness of what Yeah. But, yeah, an economic crash is is the last thing American people can even Handle. Comprehend. It'll make it'll make the George Floyd riots Yeah. You know, pale Well, by there's a sense of entitlement in people that's like, you owe me this, you know, and and they're just not gonna be able to that's why Elon's appealing to them, you know, universal basic income. It appeals to them what they want, you know. They've been taught this. I deserve this, you know? Yeah. And I can stay home and game every day, you know? Yeah. But the the reality is it's not going to happen. And the in small percentages maybe people start off that way and the Marshall Islands like we talked about, they're running a $200 a month you know test with the people there in the Marshall Islands but I believe it's a counterfeit. I believe that the devil is wanting to be worshiped as god. Yep. And he's trying to bring forth a counterfeit kingdom or a counterfeit messianic age, a utopia that he's not going to be able to pay the bills for. Right. It's unsustainable. Counterfeit So how do they make it more sustainable? Genocide. Right. Population reduction. Yeah. You know. That's how they make it more with the robotics. Yeah. And then them at the top. Less middle class. Yeah. Only some poor people to serve them. Yeah. And that's their that's their goal. There's we talked earlier about the Georgia Guidestones. Their goal of half a billion people. 500,000,000 is their number. 8,000,000,000 on the planet now. Yeah. And so that's you know, the doge, the efficiency supposedly, and digitizing everything, getting all the codes, all the treasury, all the social security, all those numbers in their database and everything before they collapse it. You know? And Kind of a backup, additional backup. Mhmm. Yeah. Yeah. For a great reset. It kind of is a good segue into a discussion over The Economist magazine's cover for what's ahead in 2026. And Vicky will be putting in some graphics for the audience to look at. But it's a fascinating depiction. It's all in red, white, and blue, which is kind of interesting. Yeah. So The US is kind of front and center in this illustration because they're the it's the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the the independence of the United States, and so that's being celebrated. And you'd have president Trump on the the one side of the cake and and Xi of China on the other side of the cake along with Putin and Netanyahu. So while this celebration of America's independence, quote, unquote, independence is going on, you have a fist of power behind it, but it's still shackled. There's still a shackle around this. It's a risk. You know, it's been used by the black power movement. It's it's even been being used by president Trump as he uses that as a symbol of symbol of victory. And it's in has the American flag behind it. We've got lots of missiles and rockets all over the globe all being fired off. We've got drones in the air. We've got, you know, the copter style drones. We've got the missile style drones. They're flying. We've got satellites that are shooting and beaming onto the earth. We've got a cargo vessel over on the eastern side that has missiles shooting out of the the cargo boxes. So that could and they're aiming directly at the cake representing United States. So that's a a trade war, but it could also be a kinetic war with missiles that are hidden. Reminds you of the drones that have emerged out of the the the cargo containers that have been used in recent surprise attacks. So all of the technology and then you've got in front of the cake, we have a game controller connected to a brain. Mhmm. And so that if there's anything that is Neuralink. Yeah. Neuralink. Exactly. And it kind of hints that humans are addicted to game playing. Yeah. For sure. That's one aspect, but they're also being controlled through this technology. And the brains are literally under the control of technology as well. Swords are crossed. They're being clashed. So we've got either saber rattling between east and west, wars and rumors of wars. Right? But then directly behind these swords, again, hinting at trade wars, economic wars, we've got a stock market chart. Very erratic, very, you know, high peaks and low valleys, but it's ultimately going down. It's going from a high point to down. We've got a Lincoln penny, again, representing US currency. And there's there's 2¢ here, which is interesting. Or the end of printing of the pennies. Yeah. We're at the end of that. And but ultimately, this chart trends down from the top right corner to the lower right corner. Yep. And the Lincoln pennies are falling and and rolling down. And, of course, there are dollars in the streets. All of the paper currencies of the world are are kind of being walked on. They're being trampled on. It reminds you of Weimar Germany when the dollars were and then, of course, we've got lots of robotics happening. We've got an an election where an election, a ballot box is being fed, a computerized ballot box, and it's kind of upside down. We have a broken legal system. We've got a gavel, with the cracking and splitting apart. I think representing the the rule of law is no no more, but it's failed. It's a failed system. We have a dollar dollar sign crumbling and cracking in pieces. We have, glasses of wine spilling out. We've got robotic, injections. We've got, lots of pharmaceutical pills all over the planet. We've got robot dogs from Boston Dynamics, and China also has its versions. We've got, you know, lots of satellites represented. We've got a tank on the East, a tank on the West. So lots of wars, rumors of wars, big pharma, missiles, satellite technology, surveillance, vaccinations, injections, robotics, all representing things that, people are increasingly aware of and even fearful of in 2026. Yeah. That really that the the picture really, sets a tone of fear It does. Unknown. You know, what's going to happen with our daily provisions in our life and especially with so much symbolism of broken money. Like we were saying earlier, the money is really the catalyst of control and change. If it's Elon talking about robots taking over and that affects our daily incomes, our daily, processes of getting up to go to work or not, you know, so there's a lot of fear involved in all of that. But but the bible tells us to not be afraid. Right? Because these are just the birth pangs. Yeah. And the birth pangs are pointing to the birthing of the day of the lord which brings in the return of Jesus Christ. Amen. So, we wars and rumors of wars he spoke of. We have a new board of peace, right? Isn't there a board of peace we have? They started the board of peace. That's Trump wants to establish that over Gaza. Well, adopted The US led resolution that endorses the Trump administration 20 peace plan and authorizes the international stabilization force to operate in Gaza. The UN Security Council today adopted that US backed resolution to end the Gaza war and deploy this force after ambassador Mike Waltz urged members to support what he called a bold, pragmatic blueprint from the president Donald Trump's 20 peace plan. In an address to the council, Waltz described Gaza as hell on Earth after two years of conflict saying the resolution offered the world a chance to replace rubble where schools once stood with a path to peace. The measure passed 14 to zero. Yeah. Yeah. And so. Oh. It it says here but of the times and of the seasons brethren you have no need that I write unto you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord. So the day of the Lord is a tribulation period. It's the time of time of Jacob's trouble. Mhmm. So we're looking to 2026 and Paul is right in church at Thessalonica that this is the characteristics of a contrast here of views. For the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. The day of the Lord's coming as a thief of the night in that Elon Musk and then the complete opposite's going to happen to them. They think they're building utopia. They think that that they're going to get past the god's omniscience, god's omnipotence, god's omnipresence with technology. Yep. And that they're going to be able to counterfeit you know, who god is and he says, for when they, the worldly people, globalist, when they shall say peace and safety. Then sudden destruction comes upon them as travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape. There's no escape. Yeah. From the day of the Lord. Amen. Once that treaty signed and in chapter six of Revelation six, they're already in their bunkers. People are already going underground. Trying to hide. Zuckerberg's they're underground. They're trying to hide from the wrath of the lamb. And so sudden destruction comes upon them as a woman with child they shall not escape. But you brethren, you and I as Christians, are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief. We're students of God's word. We're children of light. We're watching and we're watching the dots connect to this beast system. So the Stargate Project, the Genesis Project, the Genius Act, all these different efforts to speed up the building of the beast system with artificial intelligence is a is a huge red flag to us. Bright light shining that, hey, Jesus is coming soon. Yeah. It's not doom and gloom. And so you are sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of the day nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep. You see so many people sleeping. Therefore let us not sleep as do others but let us watch and be sober minded. For they that sleep sleep in the night and they that are drunk are drunk in the night. But let us contrast there but let us who are of the day be sober putting on the breastplate of faith of love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation. It's not doom and gloom. We're not appointed under wrath. God is gonna pour out his wrath upon a Christ rejecting world. And his enemy's the devil, his enemy's the antichrist, his enemy's the false prophet, and his enemies are the wicked of the earth, the earthlings, the earth dwellers that are living in rebellion to God. Yeah. So he's gonna handle them. And and we this is unprecedented. It's never aligned itself, you know, so succinctly here as we're watching in the times in which we're living. Yeah. And so I don't want to be one of those at the end of the age that ignores what's happening as many did in the first coming and they he chided him. He said, oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, often I'd gather his mother and just gather her brood under her wings but you would not So your city's left you desolate. And so he could see Titus in seventy AD going to destroy 2,000,000 Jews destroy the city. Why? He said because you knew not the time of your visitation. Yeah. Wow. Do we know what time we're living in? Right. Right? Yeah. We need to know what time. It's okay. We're warning. We're trying to get as many people into the ark before the judgment comes. Amen. And we're a preacher of righteousness and as Noah preached for a hundred and twenty years, at least his family got in the ark. Yes. Amen. And the animals. Right? Exactly. So another thing that's fascinating about this economist cover is that the whole world is a globe. And we've heard it said that the the whole world is a stage. Right? And it it is. Many of of many of of the world shaking events are not accidental. They're not organic. They're they've been orchestrated. And so we've got the World Cup being represented where the whole world is the World Cup. The world is literally a soccer ball in this illustration, and it's it's got a a an athlete in with the in a red Soccer outfit. Soccer costume Yeah. Kicking. And and so this kind of is kind of representative of the the world being kicked or being forcefully Projected. Projected into all of these scenarios. And, of course, we've got the fear over global warming with ice melting down here as well. But I wanted to kind of help the viewers understand that this is all part of the long war against God. This is the long con. You know, Satan is the ultimate con artist. Yeah. The confidence game. He's the deceiver. Right? And so, this particular illustration of the economist reminds me of the Fabian Society, which was an a an early radical socialist organization founded in the late eighteen hundreds by George Bernard Shaw and other Fabian socialists, and it would came out of the London School of Economics. And so before we take a look at that window, which Vicky will show some graphics on the line here, let me just say, share what the, Fabian Society actually is. Mhmm. Okay. It is a British socialist organization whose purpose is to advance the principles of social democracy and democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist effort in democracies rather than by revolutionary overthrow. So it's a grad they used to have the picture of a tortoise was their was their symbol, their the kind of their mascot because it it it's it creeps rather slowly. It's creeping socialism, which leads to enslavement. But it was historically related to some of the furthest left factions of radicalism, a left wing liberal tradition. And so this society, which involved literary, you know, famous, George Orwell was a member. So famous and he wrote a book, you know, explaining the new world order, basically. So he was a socialist. And, of course, we have the night the the famous work 1984 come out of that. So George Bernard Shaw commissioned a stained glass window, a very elaborate, very ornate, to be, created that represents the Fabian society. And at the top of this stained glass window, it says remold it, meaning the earth, the world, nearer to the heart's desire. Alright? And so this was the heart of man. It's it's it's what is happening today through technocracy. They're literally remolding the world according to their heart's desire. And so we see on the left side of this window, forget the name of the gentleman, but he's manning the bellows and the bellows, of course, are, fanning the flames in the forge. And the forge, has a shield on it that says, pray devoutly, hammer stoutly. And so this is a pseudo quasi religious group. Alright? So there's an element of spirituality to it. Who are they praying to? Yeah. Is their god? Who is their god? Right? And, of course, we know that it's it's not the god of the Bible. So this is the god of this world, of course. The god of this world who comes to steal, kill, destroy, he is the one remolding the world according to his desire. Yeah. But he has to use human agents to do it who have who are, of course, moved by spiritual entities, spiritual beings, fallen angels. And so then you have George Bernard Shaw with a hammer raised above his head, and, I forgot the name of the other gentleman, another member of the Fabian Society. They are literally hammering the the globe, the earth that is sitting on top of an anvil, and the earth is red hot. On fire. The earth is red hot. It's on fire. And, in the background of the glass is a picture of the shield, the crest of the Fabian society, and it's a wolf in sheep's skin. It's In sheep's clothing. Sheep's clothing. Right? Directly, explaining and exposing who these men really are working for, who they represent Wow. A plainest day. And I I kind of suspect that's why the window was stolen, I think, the late mid to late seventies, nineteen seventies, and then it was eventually rediscovered, and then it was reinstalled by, by Tony Blair at a ceremony overseen by Tony Blair. So, of course, he's a a socialist globalist. And so this was I think it was kind of hidden from sight, but then now we're we're entering an age where the the globalist, the socialist, the Luciferians are revealing the hierarchy. The hierarchy is being exposed. And so they're they're rather proud of this window. But it it shows how that the as we were discussing earlier, the the wars, rumors of wars haven't occurred naturally. They've been, orchestrated. World War one was an effort to, reduce population, to bring about a restructuring, to create a new world order, under the League of Nations, 1921. And then we have World War two that that didn't come to pass. We had to have another war. Right? A more a greater transfer of wealth. The bankers funding both sides of the war. So then we have more restructuring resulting in the the United Nations. And, of course, this this idea of the globe, being heated up and the flames being fanned, is straight out of scripture nation against nation, ethnos against ethnos. But remember back when COVID started '19 excuse me, 2019, we had the the world military games. Where were they being held? Wuhan, China. Mhmm. The same origin of the of the COVID nineteen virus Mhmm. Allegedly, which, you know, lab leaked. Well, whatever it was was undoubtedly initiated at that time. That's kind of when five g came online. Coincidentally, some believe that there's a connection between the symptoms of COVID nineteen and and the five g EMF being admitted. But regardless, that was the source that was the hub of this event. And at the opening ceremonies, this was a great Olympic games of sorts of between military soldiers from all over the nation. There were over a 100 nations represented, thousands of men and women in games of contest with one another. But the opening ceremonies were so grand. China did this in such a grand way. I don't think it was broadly televised, but it it me and it sticks in my mind that they depicted the globe on fire. Oh. It was red. It was it was enormous with digital computerized effects. The globe was on fire, and then they had an enormous soldier as as the Chinese soldiers, all wearing blue helmets representing the UN, the Chinese Communist Party soldiers formed a figure on the field of this enormous Colosseum, and it was in the form of a soldier with a gun and on top of this circle where the globe was on fire. And so to me, that represents, again, more evidence that that that was all premeditated. It was all preplanned, and it was all utilized to hammer the world into, the desire of this Luciferian conspiracy. I don't know what else to call it. Yeah. But it is, the deceiver, the god of this world, the prince of the power of the air, using human agents to remold the earth according to, his desire. His plan. Yeah. Yep. Yep. The building of the beast. Again. Mhmm. Fascinating. Yeah. So, yeah, as we look at 2026, we see so much, you know, long long plan, short plans. And then we have to look at God's plan. Yeah. And, our focus today is is to remind everybody that God has a plan. And, and that's the plan that's gonna win. He is the winner. So we don't have to worry, about about how it ends. God tells us in his word how it ends. God is the the God of creation. He's the God of this universe. He is God Almighty. And, nobody's stronger, more powerful. What do you say all the time pastor about he's omnipresent? Omnipresent he's everywhere which Elon Musk and the boys they all need cameras. Yeah. They need satellites. Yeah. Stargate. They need these low flying satellites to be able to encompass the entire globe. Yeah. So that when the two witnesses in Revelation 11 are slain that the whole world can look and see it on their cellphones or whatever kind of Yeah. Communication they have. They need them. Whereas our god, he's got these eyes that see everything. He's he's omniscient. He knows everything. Yeah. He's omnipresent and he's omnipotent. Yeah. And the devil tries to counterfeit those attributes with technology and the devil can only be in one place at one time. He's a fallen angel named Lucifer. But he has one third of the stars that fell with him, Revelation 12, that are demons. And these principalities, these powers are worn against Michael and Gabriel and the good angels, the other two third. And we read the back of the book, Lucifer is picked up by an angel, a strong angel, and put into the abyss for a thousand years and then loosed for a short season at the end of the millennium, and then he's put into the lake of fire. Yeah. So, presently, he has latitude because god gives him latitude to move about but he can only be in one place at a time and he's thrust out of heaven in Revelation 12 down to the earth. He knows his time is short. That's why he does. Yeah. Angry at the nation of Israel that he tries to genocide him. Yeah. And he's also trying to stop the lord from returning. So, those are the that's the picture of the day of the lord, the picture of the tribulation period that's coming but another characteristic that I that I see moving forward is the apostate church. The rebellion of the professing church presently, laodicean, lukewarm church that says, hey, we're rich, we're increased with goods, we're in need of nothing. Yeah. And the continuing rebellion against god's word. 27% of the Bible's prophecy, 2% of the churches teach prophecy. Yeah. So if we happen to be correct about this, the timing and correct about the soon return of Jesus. There's only 2% of the people that we can fellowship with. Yeah. That agree with us. Very rare. Very little. Only two. So, we're not going to get a big following on a podcast like this. Because people don't want to hear this. Right. Right. Because they're in love with the world. Yeah. Because they won't let go of the world. So, we're trying to reach people that once they're gripped with the undeniable facts that the scales come off and they say, what must I do to be saved? Yeah. Amen. What do I gotta do to so I don't spend any eternity in hell. Yeah. And is there any way that I could be saved from Mm-mm. Because we're safe from the route to come. Right? Yeah. Yeah. We've been safe from the route to come. Is there any way I can be safe from the route to come? And how would you answer that? Yes. Surrender your heart to the Lord. Right now. Right now. Today is the day of salvation. We can say it all together. You don't wanna go in that tribulation period. No. This is the time. This is why we do this is be not deceived because this is the time. Amen. Today is the day. Yes. It's not tomorrow. Mhmm. Stop Yeah. Fooling around and thinking that you have Talking like a mom now. All the time in the world. Yeah. The the Titanic has struck the iceberg. Yeah. Yeah. Ship is going down. You know, the bells are going off. The whistles are blowing. The the the smoke is billowing. How else can we say it? But the Boating is like trying to pump the water out of the Titanic. Yeah. The the bilge is working hard to try to keep this boat afloat, but it is not going to work because God's plan is in motion. It it is working towards the end. And not to say that this is doom and gloom or this is Right. This is panic attack, moment because the lifeboat is right there. Yes. And Jesus said, I'm stay on the Titanic. Jump into the lifeboat. And Jesus promised he would be with us even until the end of the age. Amen. We also Amen. Praise god. We have a message. He says in Luke twenty one twenty eight, and when these things begin to come to pass and look up, lift up your head for redemption draweth nigh. Okay? Also he says watch you therefore. So we're watching. Yeah. We're watching. We're trying to understand on this first day of twenty twenty six. Mhmm. We're trying to understand the times in which we're living and we're trying to look to the word of God to teach us. So he says, Watch ye therefore and pray always that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the son of man. So is that an escapist mentality? Yes. It is. And I'm the greatest I'm the greatest I'm the greatest pussy on the planet. I want I want to escape the time of God's wrath, the time that Jesus said the world's never seen so severe nor will ever see again. And he says the world would be on the brink of destruction, total annihilation. And so he describes it as a time of perplexity with no way out. It's described as a time where fear will so grip men and women that their hearts will fail them. Wow. Heart's just gonna stop. They're gonna need a whole lot of sorcery. They're gonna need a whole lot of drugs. Drugs to try and calm them down because of the anxiety and the stress and the breakdown of everything that people used to depend upon. Yeah. Rely on. Prop them up. Yeah. That's gone. Yeah. Only safety net is faith in Jesus Christ. Amen. He said pray always. That you'd escape. And so and then he gives a know a hope or a one verse in Revelation three ten that he would save them from from out of, you know, the tribulation that's gonna come. Yeah. Yeah. Praise god. So not through, but from. And so Yeah. It's I I definitely wanna be saved from it, and I'm promised that I'm not I've already been saved from the wrath to come. I'm not appointed to wrath that we read in first Thessalonians five. But he says here in three verse 10, Because thou hast kept the word of my patience. So you're not an apostate. Are a child of God that has kept his word in the midst of all this difficulty. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth. And so if you're one that's keeping his word and you've got the oil and you're ready, he's promising you he's going to keep you from the hour, the hour, the day of the Lord, the darkness, day of despair, the time of Jacob's trouble, several different ways to describe the seven year tribulation period. The seals. Mhmm. The seal judgments, the bowls, the vials. The vials, the trumpets. Six to 18 in the book of Revelation. If you wanna get picture of it. Day But he'll keep you from it. Yeah. Out of. You're not going He's go for through it. Yeah. So we are pre millennial, pre trib dispensationalists. We believe the rapture is going to take place before the signing of the peace treaty and or a covenant reconfirming of a covenant in Daniel nine twenty five through 27. So the tribulation period starts with this man of sin that comes along. He's a part of the board of peace. Peace, peace. There's And nothing but war in Venezuela, war in Ukraine, war with Iran, Israel, war everywhere breaks out, the world doesn't know what to do, they're on the brink, and this man of peace comes along, the little horn of Daniel seven, and he's got a peace plan and he's riding in on a white horse Revelation six:one. And he's got a bow with no arrows. So he's got this authority, but he's bringing peace, peace where there is no peace. And that ain't Jesus. And all hell breaks loose thereafter. That's the Antichrist. Within a short period there of opening the seals, you you got the four horses and there's one quarter of the planet dead. Yep, one quarter. So you've got 8,000,000,000 people, 2,000,000,000 people dead with just the opening of the first scene. Ain't that insane? That's just crazy. Just insane. Yeah. That's their utopia. That's their golden age. That's what they're selling to people presently with their technological age. Yeah. So don't trust in that. I'm not buying it. Don't trust in the false this false deception. Don't do it. Trust in the Lord. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not to your own understanding and acknowledge him in all your ways and he will Direct your path. Direct your path. Sorry. So don't take the job. Uh-huh. Don't take any implants. Don't take any NERLYNX. Don't take any tattoos. The Swiss, Switzerland and Sweden both have abandoned their injections that the people were getting and they wanna go back to Fiat currency cash. Right. They lost freedom. It's a loss of freedom. It's surveillance system. Yep. Right? Yep. So freedom is really in in the lord. Yeah. He's the emancipator. He's the great emancipator. Yeah. He is set the captives free. Amen. The devil, as Mark's been saying in John 10, comes to steal, to kill, to destroy. He wants to control and damn and take away people's freedom. He wants to make them slaves to darkness, slaves to evil. Yeah. And be controlled and so. Let's just. The good news is is there's an innumerable multitude of people beneath the throne of god in Revelation six and seven. Who refuse to take the mark of the beast on the right hand of their forehead. Yeah. And in Revelation 20 verse four they were beheaded for their faith. So they say no. So and they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, the word of their testimony, and they love not their lives unto death. So they figured that it would be better to be with Jesus to have some body be present with the Lord than to try and squeak out a few more years in the beast system but damn their souls to hell. So they evaluated and today is the day of the decision. Today is where everybody needs to evaluate. Where do you want to spend eternity if in 2026 it's your last breath here on earth? Where do you want to spend eternity? Are you ready? Are you preparing? That's the You want to be prepared, right? Amen. That's the way to do a prophecy update right there. That's that's the word. That is the word. Surrender. Surrender So, to the if we were to give a picture of the 10 virgins, Matthew 25. Five were foolish and five are wise. Why were the five wise? Because they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Had oil. What's that deal? They were believers. They were believers. If you're not a believer right now, you need to become a believer. You need to receive Christ in your heart and life. And as many as received him to them gave he the power to become sons of God even to those who believe in his name. The foolish didn't have the oil. They put it off. They said, oh well, I just don't want to party. I don't want to receive Christ right now. I'm having too much fun in the world. They were caught off guard because the husband comes for the bride at an hour that they know not. That's why when the tribulation period starts he comes as a thief in the night to those who are not aware. But the children of light are aware as soon it's right there, it's at the door. We're ready. You know? Yeah. And we're looking up. Anticipating. And and it's not doom and gloom because Titus two thirteen says what? Blessed is I mean. Looking for that. Blessed hope. And glorious appearing. Of our great God and savior. Yeah. Yeah. So it's not dim and gloom. It's the hope of Israel. It's the hope of the church. It's the hope Jesus is coming again. That's right. Right? Yeah. Praise god. That's awesome. And isn't there a suggestion there in in that parable of the of the virgins that half of the professing church perhaps. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. That does not have the holy spirit. Is not truly saved. Is not part of the gospel. Yeah. Right. And we could tie that in Matthew seven away from me. I never knew you. You that practice iniquity. Yeah. So we we talked about the tares and the wheat growing together and it's not until harvest that you're able to identify who are the saved and who are the unsaved. Mhmm. The saved are the are the wheat and it bends over at harvest in humility. Mhmm. The tares in their pridefulness. You know, the I'm rich and increased with goods in need of nothing, they're delusional and the tear, the weed, exalts itself, lifts itself up, and that's what they do when they kick Jesus out of the church, the Laodicean church, and he's standing at the door knocking, let me in. Behold I stand at the door knock, but they're so incredibly prideful boasting of I'm rich and increased with good need of nothing. And what's their true condition? Naked, blind, poor, and miserable. So they're not seeing themselves in reality And at Ephesus was known for medicinal eye ointment. And he says, I counsel you to buy eye ointment for me because you're blind. Yeah. Right? So that's what we just said. Can't see themselves. They're real states. Like Mark saying, they think they're they think they're saved but it's an apostate church. Yeah. Yeah. They've fallen away. They departed from the truth. Yeah. And that breaks our hearts and let so many people be deceived. Yeah. That's why we do this podcast because so many have a false sense of security like they're going to heaven and there's a rude awakening awaiting those who have self deceived themselves. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And that's why Paul said, let a man examine himself to see whether he's in the faith. Yeah. Lest he be a reprobate. Yeah. Right? It can't be just knowledge. It has to be heart. All the Hollywood people have knowledge. Yeah. So All the Hollywood. They know how to say the name Jesus. Everyone's saying they're a Christian right now. Yeah. You know? The demons believe. Yeah. Satan believes in god. That's true. You know? They tremble. You say you believe you do well. The demons also believe and tremble. Yeah. It has to be a saving faith dependence upon the finished work of Jesus, upon the cross Amen. Of Calvary. Amen. Not an acknowledgement of the babe of Bethlehem and all these were fun stories when I was a little Baptist growing up. You know, no. How have you appropriated? So, he's a savior of the whole world. He's paid for all the sins of everybody in the world but especially for those who believe. So it narrows down to only those who believe. Believe. Believe. Believe. Believe. Yeah. Narrows the gate. Yeah. And speaking of deception on a grand stage, we've we've been speaking today and earlier that with the advent of AI, okay, we haven't seen anything yet. The the deception is just beginning. So almost everything that we're going to be bombarded with through the media is gonna be increasingly fake, increasingly false. Yeah. It's gonna be depicted as better than reality. It's it's virtual reality twenty four seven. And speaking of 2025, 2026, as we enter this new year, an author called Leo Homan has written an excellent article Yep. That we were sharing earlier. I'd like to read just a couple of snippets from. He writes, I was hoping that 2025, last year, would be the year Americans woke up and realized they're being played. Unnecessarily divided and played one group off against another. I was hoping that they would break out of the Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Matrix. I hoped they would see the world as it really is. Not as the warmongering neocons and neolibs in Washington want us want us to see it, with the foreign boogeyman lurking around every corner. I was disappointed. Many did whisk the sleep from their eyes enough to see that the biggest enemy is our own government and its corporate partners in big tech, big pharma, big food, and big agriculture, but not nearly enough. And then he proceeds to break this down about how so many remain in a media induced trance, focused on the wrong things, on issues that have already been decided at the public policy level. And he says most Americans are aware that something is wrong, But way too many are still living in delusion thinking that if we just vote harder, we can dig ourselves out of this unsettling death spiral. The golden age, Leo Hulman writes, lies just around the corner if we just select the right people. Wow. He says, I'm not telling anyone to forego voting, but I am telling you that it will take much more than voting to right the ship. Speaking of the metaphor of the ship. Right? The ship is sinking. Mhmm. Titanic's hit the, iceberg. Mhmm. And he says it'll take a conscious effort. Right? So it's gonna take a true spiritual awakening, especially in the sleeping church to see things clearly with a true spiritual discernment. We need a coming together in moral courage, prayer, and righteous anger. But I would say it's not just a righteous indignation or anger, you know, beginning to flip over tables of the money changers because God is going to set his son upon his holy hill, Psalm two. Right? It's not up to to Christians to make America great again or to make Israel great again. God is going to move these mountains by his spirit, not by might, not by power, but by his spirit, says the lord. Amen. So we're not that's not our job to accomplish these things. Yeah. You know, we're to preach the gospel, make disciples, get people into the ark of Christ because that's not going to sink. Right? Yeah. That's gonna be lifted up above the the chaos and tribulation to come. And so, you know, I suggest reading more of this article. It's it's helpful. It's it's realistic. It's not doom and gloom. It's just it's not conspiracy theory. It's it's realism. This is what's happening. And as we're trying to share you why it's happening, using the word of God, Jesus said, that we should not be anxious. Right? And then I like to point people to Psalm 37 and recommend reading the entire Psalm. Whenever you feel distressed, anxious about these things, just quoting a few verses, which is the theme of the entire, passage. Do not fret because of evildoers. Do not be, anxious. Do not be envious toward wrongdoers for they will wither quickly like the grass and fade like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Okay? Is that speaking of this earth, though? Is that speaking of our earthly existence? Or is this speaking of the time to come? Yeah. How long will these wicked men and seducers be allowed to operate? They're gonna be cut off. But when? Yeah. In our lifetime? Possibly, if the Lord returns. But this is the promise in this passage and is beautiful of the millennial kingdom and of an eternity with God that is yet to come. So our hope is not here. Our hope is in the Lord. Our hope is in heaven. Our hope is in the fulfillment of God's word. And so, we're ambassadors. We just wanna point people to Christ, the lifeboat, and and just encourage everyone to understand the time so that we can know what we should do. Amen. Yeah. So with the falsehood, moving forward, greater and greater falsehood, greater and greater deception. Our government passed laws allows them to lie to us and use propaganda against us. And they can't get in any trouble for lying to us. They're lying constantly. So when you look at that Economist magazine, you see that soccer field, FIFA and all that. What is a false flag? False flag. Well, as as the pirates used to do, they would come alongside another vessel flying a flag of another nation. And then when they get close, they would hoist the the school and crossbones, and they would bombard the ship and and board them and and take it over. So that's one example of the False flag. The false flag. But the the means of, like, say let's say there's some sort of commotion at that field, that soccer field, that global thing, and some sort of horrific event like we've seen with Charlie Kirk or other things. And it's used to sell war. Used to sell as Leo mentioned, there's always a boogeyman. So you got a new boogeyman and everybody gets angry at this boogeyman when in actuality it could be our own government Yeah. Staging an event to sell war. Yeah. Yes. You know, so like the Reichstag Building that Hitler had lit on fire historically and blaming it on the communist. Right. That's the boogeyman. So then the people, he's he's offering them peace and safety but we need to change the constitution. You need to give me more authority, more power. And then once that happens, then there's no more peace and security. Yeah. Most of the major wars have been built on lies. Right. You know, the Bay Of Tonkin, that was a lie. Yeah. They gave us Vietnam. 09/11 was a was a lie. It gave us a twenty year war on terror. And the Patriot Act. Yeah. The Patriot Act, all setting the stage for global technocratic dictatorship and surveillance. Mhmm. And Leo Homan continues here. It's worth sharing a couple more paragraphs. He says, everyone in Washington is compromised. Everyone in Washington is somebody's puppet. This was the realization that prompted representative Marjorie Taylor Greene to quit congress. She realized it was all a game. She broke with those serving as water boys for the Trump SIOP. They realized that she was on to them. They knew that she knew and she had so she had to go. She had a choice, bow out gracefully or be drilled out like a screw that's being stripped of its threads. MTG opted for the former, and I can't really blame her. Then Leo goes on to describe that this is, you know, part of a Luciferian agenda, part of a Luciferian conspiracy is the operative word. He says it's the the nightmare scenario for the Luciferian globalist technocrats. And I used to I remember being in a church, and it was another Calvary Chapel quite a few years ago, twenty years ago. And I was it was just in my process of coming to be aware of understanding the times and how things really work in the world. And so I was talking to another brother, he began on to rant and rave about the Luciferian technocrat. He didn't use technocrats, but and I was going, woah. Woah. Slow down. Because I wasn't quite up on board as to how deep and dark the evil went in our in our government. But it's true. As Leo points out here, he says, the nightmare scenario for the for the Luciferian globalist technocrats is that those on both the right and the left figure out that the red blue Democrat Republican divide is the biggest SIOP of all. Alright? It masks the real problems and the real enemies of the people. As someone once said, there is no red and blue, only green. Wow. The love of money. Right? Oh, yeah. Money money. Sorts of evil. Yeah. Yeah. And so as I've shared before, Christians in particular have misplaced their hope and their trust in a political party because it is historically represented conservatism. Mhmm. Right? But it it's it's been long hijacked. And in reality, this this monster, the beast system has integrated with satanic occult spirituality through Freemasonry, which we've mentioned before on your program. And Freemasons are both red and blue. Freemasons are Republican and Democrat, but they worship at every altar. They bow at every altar. They worship at every shrine, says Albert Pike, I think, Morals and Dogma, the the Freemason's Handbook, so to speak. And the at the top, they worship Lucifer. So Washington DC represents a power center, a hub of the Luciferian conspiracy, which is reality. Just as the United Nations is part of the Luciferian conspiracy Yeah. Which is reality. And we've talked about Alice Bailey and how her theosophy came out of to be part and parcel of the United Nations. And so there's absolutely no hope in any form of global government being redeemed, restored. And but all of this has been orchestrated and is working together in a in perfect as as the bible is foretold perfectly. Yeah. It's developing. Right. Right right on time. Some would argue that we're a Christian nation. Some would argue that President Trump just called that we're supposed to pray for at least an hour once a week. Some would argue that Charlie Kirk memorial that many of our politicians got up there and preached the gospel. You know. Right. And Paula White would say when President Trump speaks, it's god speaking through him. How do we argue that? Yeah. Forsake himself will appear as an angel of light. Angels of light. And his ministers as ministers of righteousness. So Yeah. Yeah. That You're not buying that? Be not deceived. That was easy. That not only applies to men and women behind pulpits in, you know, robes with collars, but it also applies to politicians. Yeah. These are ministers of righteousness. That means anyone who has been given authority to administrate and appear that they're doing good when in fact their their hearts are evil. They're putting darkness for light and light for darkness. Amen. So they can't use the seven mountain mandate and get us to Utopia, golden age with Elon helping them and and usher the return of Jesus in being No. By getting rid of all evil in the world? Strong delusion. Strong delusion. I like that. I love it. But that's what they believe. Yeah. Yep. There's a lot of deception out there. Selling. Yeah. And many have drank the Kool Aid. If it were possible, Satan would even deceive the very elect. Right? Exactly. Referring to Israel application to the church. The church is being deceived. So the devil's greatest weapon is deception. Is deception. Greatest weapon. He's a liar and a murderer and his greatest weapon is deception. So we as Christians, how can we be not deceived in 2026? Focus on Christ. Focus on the Bible. Focus on truth. How do we fact check The Bible is for reading. How do you do it? Right here. Open up the Take every thought captive, the obedience of Christ. But there's a lot of casual reading or videos we watch and get our information each day. Yeah. Yeah. We're being deceived. So how can I be a like Leo mentioned Fox News? We knew off of all that. Yeah. Yeah. So we go to alternative sources. Yeah. But there's a lot that I'm watching that's not true. So I can't even repeat it until I fuck took it. Yeah. You have to you have to know. There's such a mixture Oh, man. Of truth. Truth with error. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. You can really You gotta really be on our game, man. Yeah. This is not an easy time Mhmm. To be a Christian because No. Because the it's it's like rapid fire. Everybody's coming at you and you can watch anything on YouTube and follow somebody and go down a rabbit trail that has nothing or very little to do with truth. It's nearly impossible to convince people they're deceived. Nearly impossible to rescue them once they take it. Once they start to think, no, the light bulb has gone on. Think I found something I can wrap my head around. And then you go, wait a second, I care that the Bible can prove it? I care about how I feel about when I listen to that person online or whatever. Our job is know what does God say about that? What's God's formula for that? What does God say through the Old Testament, through the New Testament to in prophecy in all of it? How does it how does it form? Or am I just cluttering my mind full of stuff that doesn't make me feel good? I like to zone in on that YouTube channel person who's who's making me feel secure and and and snug as a bug in a rug. Yeah. And, you know, that reminds me.
