Lord, we thank you so much for this day. We thank you for the many new faces, Lord, whether online or here in person, Lord. We pray that every single person that walks through this door would hear your word, Lord, and would you speak to them, Holy Spirit. Would you teach us today, this morning, in your word, Lord, and give us understanding, especially when it comes to Prophecy Update, Lord. So we thank You. We love You, Lord. Continue to keep Your hands upon the pastors here at this precious church, Your church, Lord. We ask these things in the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen. Amen and Amen. And good morning and welcome. So glad you're here. You can be seated. Those of you online, we're so glad that you're joining with us as well. Before we jump in, I want to let you know that this upcoming Tuesday is going to be our prayer meeting. Note the start time, especially those of you online, 7 p.m. here in the sanctuary. It will be live streamed, at least the first part of it. And I'm going to begin with a very brief message, for real, a very brief message. about what our prayers mean to God. Then I'm really looking forward to sharing a praise report, really a miracle answer to prayer as only God can. And then after a prayer request, and then we're going to open it up to all church prayers. So sure hope you're able to join with us Tuesday, 7 p.m. for our prayer meeting. This is the first of two services that we devote to Bible prophecy in our weekly Bible prophecy updates. Then second service, which for those of you online will be live streamed at 11 15 a.m. Hawaii time. That's the sermon. It's a verse by verse study through the Word of God. We've made our way all the way through to the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation. Uh, and today we're going to start chapter eight, the first six verses. I wanted to go a little bit further, but then God sort of stopped me. You know, God sometimes directs our steps and our stops. Well, He stopped me at verse six. So, um, and I chose this title and I know it's cliche, but the title is God's Got This. And God's got you. And so what we're going to do is look at how it is that God responds to all our worries, of which sometimes there are many, injustices, crippling fears and anxiety, as well as all of our uncertainty, especially concerning the future and even more so because of the days in which we find ourselves living today in this, the end. Just by way of a reminder for those of you online, we do not live stream the entirety of the update for censorship reasons. So we want to redirect you. Actually would really encourage you to do it now, not wait, but If you're on YouTube or Facebook, go directly to the website at JDFarag.org and you'll find the uninterrupted entirety of today's update. And with that, we'll get right to it. And I need to start by talking with you about the title and why I chose it. Notice it's the time has come. and not the time may come, or even the time is coming. No, the time has come. This, as we're about to see, is for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that, I want to say this as lovingly as I can, But the time has come to start taking the things of God and the Word of God seriously. Why? Because of the urgency of the hour as we see the day fast approaching, and the day is fast approaching. Now, we have a problem. It needs to be addressed. I want to get it out of the way. How was that for an introduction to a problem that needs to be addressed? What's the problem? Well, the problem is that there are those who certainly as the leaders of the world, and in some measure the average person in the world, sense that the time has come and something's got to give, something's about to happen. We have clever phrases and expressions and idioms and metaphors, such as the calm before the storm. Well, here's the world, and in large measure, there's this sense that Something's going to happen. So what's your problem, Pastor? I have many problems. You got a minute? Here's the problem. Conversely, the enemy has the average Christian so distracted and busied by this world and the things of this world, They don't seem to share the same sense that something is about to happen. I know there's a spiritual component to that. You know, this is why it is that the non Christian knows nothing of spiritual warfare. I mean, what's the point? Satan's already got him. Why is he going to attack him? It could backfire on them and they get saved. So he leaves them alone. and focuses all of his efforts and all of his attacks on the Christians. No, think about that. What I just said, the conspicuous absence of any spiritual warfare in the life of someone who is not a believer. That's the reason for it. What's the point of it? Satan already owns them, already has them. So why would he attack them? No, he reserves his warfare and his attacks for the Christians whom he doesn't have. What's the means that he uses? What are the most powerful tools in his toolbox? Distraction, discouragement, of course, deception. The list goes on and on. And I think you would agree that especially this year, notice how careful I am. I am very careful on how I'm choosing my words. With what's coming up, I'm still being very careful about how I choose my words. But don't you think, and would you agree that the enemy has in at least some measure, been met with success in this area of getting Christians distracted and busied. I think busyness can be the worst thing for a Christian. You have no time because you're so busy doing everything but the one thing that is needed, which is what Jesus said to Martha. Martha, Martha, you're so busy and distracted. I mean, listen, I'm just, I'm so blessed that you're making me the most delicious recipe handed down for the generations, tuna casserole. But Mary has chosen the better thing. Not that what you're doing is a bad thing, But it's not a good thing that you're so distracted and busy about many things. Notice the contrast between the many and the one. Only one thing is needed. And look, Mary is doing it. Why is Mary doing it? Because Mary made that choice to do it. That's one of the most astonishing passages in the Gospels as far as I'm concerned, because Martha is, he's talking, she's so mad at her sister Mary that he talks, she talks to Jesus, she talks to Mary through the Savior. Now that's angry. When you're, You know how it is at home, right? You're so angry, and you say, you know, tell your daughter. Oh, they're your daughter now. Tell your son. Well, he's right here. Why don't you tell him? Tell her to come in here and help me with the work. I've got a lot of work to do. Martha, Martha, and never imagine that there was disdain or disgust in the voice of the Savior. It was with compassion and even pity and gentleness and kindness. Just Martha, what are you doing? Listen, I'm not going to be here very long, by the way. That tuna casserole recipe of yours, that's going to be around a lot longer than I am. You've only got me here for a short period of time. There's only one thing that's needed, and you're so busy. Can you just picture the Savior saying that to Martha? He's saying that to us. You're so busy about many things. You're so distracted about many things when only one thing is needed. And so what gets lost in all of this, and Satan succeeds in all of this, is that the Christian just goes on their merry way, distracted, busy, And here's the world going, man, something's up. Now, I hope you know, and for those of you that have been coming for any length or period of time, I got to believe you know that I in no way wish to be derogatory towards the average professing Christian. I'm wording that carefully. But I may not wish to do that, but I do wish to address this because I think that the Lord has something to say to us in this. In my time with the Lord preparing for today's update, I was reminded of a parable that has always kind of troubled me a little bit, that Jesus taught. But I want to I want to talk about it just briefly because in some ways it's very similar to what's happening today. It's found in Luke 16, 1 through 13. I won't read the entire parable, but it's known as the parable of the unjust servant. And this is what is so unique about this particular parable, because the master is actually commending his unjust, corrupt, shrewd servant for dealing so shrewdly. He's commending him. He fires him. And the guy responds by doing something so shrewd that the master who just got done firing him is now commending him for being so shrewd. What's the point of the parable? Well, thankfully, Jesus tells us what the lesson to be learned is, what the point of the parable is. He says, Jesus speaking, for the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light. Did you catch that? Translated, It's almost like the world deals better with these things than do my people deal with these things. I'm beginning this way because it's the same way concerning the world who seem to be more shrewd in this regard. We're to be as shrewd as serpents, harmless as doves. but shrewd as serpents. And the world is seemingly more shrewd in this regard than are some Christians. And one need look no further than to the world leaders in particular, who are extremely time driven, like they know something we don't, because they know something we don't. because they're the ones planning the something that they know that we don't. And it's so time driven that it's specific to the year 2030. And here's again, you'll forgive me, the average Christian, I'm not wanting to beat up on anybody, but the average Christian is just oblivious to any of it. They have no idea about the evil agenda in, with, and planned for this world, which ironically is in their Bibles, if they would read them. When I use the word ironic, for lack of a better word. If there was a better word, I would use it. But I think it's an apt description of the average Christian. And here's how I get there. Isn't it ironic that the world seems to be more privy to the things that are in our Bibles, which the average Christian doesn't read. If they did, they would know more, be ready for, but they're not. Don't be trying to post stuff on their Facebook page either, or their social media, or, oh, I'm dating myself. You guys are looking at me going, Facebook, Insta. Somebody said Insta the other day. I'm like, what? Oh, Instagram. Oh, yeah, never mind. Whatever, whatever. But don't be going and trying to post something on their social media accounts, because first of all, they'll delete it and they'll unblock you. And they'll probably follow up with talking stink and posting stink about you. And if you were to ask them about where they're at, you know, with the Lord, they're going to say, oh, I believe in God. I'm a Christian. Really? How ironic. Why? The question is why? It's chiefly for this reason, and I think it's incumbent upon me to bring this to the forefront as a major prophetic indicator of how that the time has now come. That's why. The time has come. The time has come for what? For Christians to wake up. It's time for Christians to wake up from their spiritual slumber and put off the world with all its deeds of darkness. And this is what the Apostle Paul, I mean passionately, admonishes the church in Rome to do, and by extension us. In fact, that's how he starts it off in Romans chapter 13. I'll begin reading in verse 11. And do this. Here's what you need to do. First, understand the present time. Do you understand the times in which you are living? Or are you oblivious to what's going on? Because Bible prophecy is being fulfilled all around you. Do you understand the times? And then he says this. I totally stole my title from him on this. He says the hour has come May I say it this way, the time has come, not may come, is coming. No, the time has come for you to wake up from your slumber. Why? Because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over. The day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Again, notice the contrast. Put off the world, put on the Lord. Clothe yourself in Christ's righteousness. You know, when you get up in the morning, you take off Am I getting, this might be too, I should have thought this through. Okay, pajamas. Can we just, can you let me have this one? You take off your pajamas and you put on your clothes for the day. I knew I shouldn't have used that one. I'll never use it again. But you put off when you wake up so you can put on now that you're up. You know what Paul's saying here? It's akin to what we're told in the Old Testament about the men of Issachar. In the Book of Numbers you have a listing of the numbers, because that's what the Book of Numbers is about, numbers. One of the most fascinating books in all of the Bible, by the way. So you have a list of the numbers of the tribes of the 12 tribes of Israel, and all the tribes are listed. And then when you get to the tribe of Issachar, it says this. It's like a, it's like a, what's a good example? I probably should have had one ready, but too late. I didn't ready one. So, but it's kind of like when you put a pause or it's a break. It's kind of like, you know, but when we get to the men of Issachar, they understood the times that they were living in. And not only that, were told that they knew what to do. Isn't that what Paul said? Here's what you need to do, like the men of Messachar. First understand the times that you're living in, and then Not only did they understand what times they were living in, they knew what to do about it. We should be among those who understand the times we're living in and know what to do. Dare I say, this is not hyperbole. We're living in extremely dangerous times. Do you realize that? We're in the last hour. Just prior to that trumpet sound, and the pre-tribulation rapture, and here's, and I'm speaking in broad terms, using the average professing Christian. Are you guys okay with that? I'm not talking about you. I know you guys are just so, you know, spiritually mature. And this is for other Christians. No, this is for all of us, myself included. A trumpet is about to sound and here's the average professing Christian going about their lives at a time when it's most unforgiving for anyone to just play church. We're just playing church. We don't play church here, by the way. I say that in love. If you're new to the church, first of all, we love that you're here. And you're going to get loved on here and already have, I'm sure. And you are welcome here. But I just want to let you know what we're about. What we're about here is the Word of God and the God of the Word. We're not playing around here. We're not playing around here. You know why we're not playing around here? Because playtime's over. We're in a battleground, not a playground. And you want to play church at a time in human history? that is most unforgiving. Let me tell you, the time has come. The time has come for sleepy, you know, the drowsy, can't keep your eyes open Christians when it comes to the things of God. I don't want to look at anybody because people always come up to me after, you know, say, Pastor, I'm so sorry I didn't sleep well last night. And, you know, first of all, I didn't see you with your eyes closed. So just relax. Okay. But second of all, not a problem. I get it. Third, it's not a problem unless I fall asleep during my own sermons. That would be the problem. So you're good. It's okay. So if you want to take a quick cat nap, no problem. But the time has come for sleepy Christians to wake up and get up. This is the uncomfortable, unspoken reality of the world in which we're living. It's like the forbidden topic. Everybody's dancing around it. It's the proverbial elephant in the room. But it's the truth. It's the reality. There are those who have plotted and conspired. Notice I'm wording it that way, not are plotting and conspiring. No, they already have plotted and conspired to do precisely what Bible prophecy explicitly says they will do at the time of the end, which is why we know it is the time of the end. God doesn't want us to be ignorant concerning Bible prophecy. God wants us to know, so we're ready Not only is this evil prophesied plot already in place, so too is it now at the ready to be executed. And I choose that word deliberately. And here's the thing. They know it. They know it. And the reason they know it is because that time has come. And if they don't do it now, the time could pass by, which is why they must strike while the iron's hot, as they say, because now is the time. And you don't have to be a prophecy expert, which again, for those of you that know me, I shudder when I hear prophecy expert. I told our social media, we have a company that does all of our social media. I said, you know, they had, they did that bio thing. I think it was on Twitter. Do people still use Twitter? Oh, it's not Twitter anymore. Excuse me. Pardon me. X. My bad. So they, you know, they're, you know, the bio, a little bit about yourself, you know. And some people come up with some pretty clever bios. You're like, wow, that's impressive. So they have this, you know, renowned Bible prophecy, you know. And I sent him an email that said, delete it now or I will. We're all priests. I think, maybe, let me rephrase. I wonder if one of the reasons why Christians don't study Bible prophecy is because they bought this lie that you have to be an expert, which is why they look to the experts, the prophecy experts to see what they have to say. Hey, it's easy for me to say, I'm not a prophecy expert. I'm a prophecy teacher. I was a student. I'm a prophecy student. I'm a student of Bible prophecy, and I'm a teacher of Bible prophecy. But don't ever put me on a pedestal, like Pastor JD. Well, our pastor is a prophecy expert, because I will find out where you live. And no, I'll leave it at that. You don't have to be a quote unquote prophecy expert to see the stunning developments of prophetic significance, revving up, I use that word for a reason, like never before. Both last week and now coming up this week have been and are even now quite busy weeks, prophetically, if you haven't noticed. And I know what you're thinking, because I can read your minds. It's coming in right now. You know, Pastor J.D. hasn't talked about Rosh Hashanah. Hmm. It's next week, you know. Well, but usually isn't that supposed to be a high watch time? And listen, a lot of people are really excited, and rightfully so, as well they should be. Well, Pastor J.D., do you share in that excitement? I'll talk about it next week. Maybe. Anyway, of course I am. Are you kidding me? This is what gets me up in the morning. This is what allows me to sleep at night knowing that this could be the day. I am so ready to go home. Are you kidding me right now? I'm so ready. I have, there's nothing here. I have nothing tethering me to this world. In fact, it's really starting to annoy me, actually, and I'm ready to go. I was ready to go a long time ago. So of course I'm excited. Don't you find it rather interesting that the fall feasts fall at a time of unprecedented turmoil with Israel's many wars. Have you been following what's going on in Israel, happening to Israel, against Israel? I mean, just this. I'm on a roll today. Explosive situation, no pun intended. in Israel as we speak at this time, that alone should have every Christian on their Bible prophecy toes, so to speak, because it's happening exactly as God's Word said it would. And it's even worse than that. What do you mean? Hear me out. I'm going to start with this UN post titled World Leaders Keyword Adopt. This is like a board of directors adopting a resolution. This passed. This was approved. Pivotal UN pact for the future in which they say, and I quote, World leaders are at UN headquarters in New York this Sunday, where they adopted, approved, the potentially, their words, game changing pact for the future by consensus. I mentioned this last week because this was during first service. I wish they would do this not during our prophecy updates. Of course, Maybe they should do it during the prophecy update, how appropriate. I want you to listen very carefully because this is really important. I'm going to frame in the question. Do you remember a while back hearing about this pandemic treaty? Do you also remember all of a sudden it went dark? And there was this conspicuous silence and just crickets and nobody was talking about the pandemic treaty anymore. Do you want to know why? Because they changed the name. What did they change the name to? The pact for the future. It's more palatable because it seems that they were getting some pushback on this pandemic treaty, which basically gives them everything they want to arbitrarily and unilaterally do anything they want. Well, what if I told you that this does the same thing and almost even more? It does. Here's another UN post titled Pact for the Future. world leaders pledge action for peace, sustainable development. You know what really caught my attention was this quote. The pact's five broad focus areas include sustainable development. See, yeah, it's unsustainable. because they made it unsustainable. How they do that? With their weather manipulation, they destroyed the earth. And there's a prophecy, there's two of them in Revelation, that God will destroy those who destroyed the earth. I think when we get to, not today, but I think next week, when those trumpets, trumpet judgments. Oh my goodness. Wow. It's everything to do with the creation. A third burns up, just torched. Why? Because they're worshiping the creation, not the creator. Think Egypt plagues. Do you know that every single one of those 10 plagues were gods that the Egyptians worshiped? Example, the plague of frogs, not furrogs, frogs. They worshiped frogs. So it's like God, this is why I know God's got a sense here. He's like, you like frogs, do you? You like to worship frogs? Here's all the frogs you want. What's God doing? God is saying, I'm the God that created those frogs. I'm the God that created that tree you're hugging, you tree hugger. Was that too much? So sustainable development, international, listen, peace and security. Hang on to that. How about this one? Science and technology, youth and future generations, and transforming, listen to these two words, global governance, global governance. That's a one world order, global governance. Let's take peace and security first for the benefit, especially of those who may not fully understand the prophetic significance of this. I mean, throughout the whole UN General Assembly, you couldn't listen to a speaker without hearing these two words, exactly as the Apostle Paul prophesied they would use these two words. It's First Thessalonians 5.3. Listen to what the Apostle Paul, by the Holy Spirit says, while people are saying, Two specific words, peace and security. Some of your Bibles render it safety, asphalia in the Greek, same word. While people are saying peace and security, destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape, the implication being that we will, we who are still alive and remain. Please note that these two words mostly have to do with Jerusalem, specific to and with the focus on the dividing of Jerusalem. So in other words, you'll typically hear Jews and Palestinians living side by side together in peace and security. I did that pretty good too. I'm not losing my... And it's always under the auspice of what they call the so called two state solution. Now, Yerushalom, Jerusalem, the city that God put literally His name of ownership on, Out of all of the cities, of all of the tribes, of all of Israel, He chose Jerusalem to put His name on in the form of the sheen. We've talked about that before. And you want to cut it off? And you want to give a state to the Palestinians? Well, when I grew up, my mom and dad told me I was Palestinian. I was born in Beirut, Lebanon. I don't know how you get from Lebanon to Palestinian, but I guess I was a Palestinian. Age 19, I come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, start reading my Bible, can't put it down. And I realized, wait a minute, David, under King David's rule, the Philistines were all wiped out. And that's what Palestinian is, by the way. It's a transliteration of Philistine, Palestinian. Don't look right now because I'm teaching. But when you get home, look at the Bible maps in the back of your Bible. And if it says, if you have a map that says Palestine during Jesus's time, I want you, I want you to rip it out. of your Bible. And if you want, you can burn it, sign it, give it to me. I'll keep it as a souvenir, then I'll burn it. There's no such thing as a Palestinian And there's no such thing as Palestine. Wait a minute, Pastor. How did it get its name Palestine? Second century A. D. After the Romans sacked Jerusalem in 70 A. D., the custom in that day was to name the city that you conquered or the peoples that you conquered after the archenemy of those peoples. Who was the archenemy of the Israelites? The Palestinians. So first of all, they started it. They started off, it was too long, didn't fit on a business card, Ariella Kapitalina. And then they changed it to Philistia, transliterated Palestine. That's how it got its name. Not because there's Palestinians. And we've talked about that at length. I won't take the time today, nor do I have the time to. So this two stage solution, which by the way, you can hate on me and get mad at me and call me all the kind of names you want. You can call me anything you want. Just don't call me late for dinner, as they say when I say this. But it's already on the table. It's called the deal of the century and subsequently the Abraham Accords, the dividing of Jerusalem. And before you dismiss me and the seriousness of this one particular prophecy, can I just share with you two prophecies in God's Word that speak to this? The first one is in Zechariah 12, the first three verses. the burden of the word of the Lord against Israel, a prophecy concerning Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone. That's how they did the boundaries. They were boundary stones. problems. For all peoples who would heave it away, give it away, will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. That includes America, by the way. Here's the prophecy. I'm going to really loosely paraphrase it. You want to cut up Jerusalem? I'm going to cut you up. How about that? You're going to try to move the boundaries and create two states? No, that's my city, and I gave it to my people. And you're going to try to give it away, heave it away, cut it up, divide it. I'm going to cut you. Joel 3.2. I will also gather all nations, all nations, and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have also divided up My land. It's already in play. It's in the deal of the century. I quoted paragraph and page verbatim, and I'll never forget it, in February of 2020. And that was the beginning of the end. Boy, did I get it. All I did was quote it. No, that's just your interpretation of it. Excuse me. I read it verbatim. That's not an interpretation. That's a recitation. Is that the right word? It rhymes. All I did is recite it. I quoted it verbatim. Get this. It seems that not only are the enemies of Israel, which will ultimately be all nations, want the dividing of Jerusalem. They ultimately and demonically don't want Jews in Jerusalem. This is not a joke. This was published, I think just last week. Oh yeah, it was last week. It was Wednesday. What were you doing Wednesday? At the UN General Assembly, they adopted a resolution, meaning it was passed, calling for Jerusalem's Old City to be Jew free. What? We got to go through this because I spent a lot of time on this preparing for this. I want to come back to this pact for the future formerly known as the pandemic treaty. It's a downloadable 86 page PDF file that we provided a link to as we do with all the original sources. It bears the title of United Nations General Assembly 79th session adopted resolution of the pact for the future and its annexes. What does that mean? Well, there's two of them. One of them is dubbed the Global Global Digital Digital Compact. In other words, they passed this resolution that everything is now going to be digital. Hmm. That's exactly what we're told in the Book of Revelation. So I combed through this and started with a search of the two words, peace and security. Oh, my goodness. It's replete throughout the document. And it's mentioned countless times on 21 of the 86 pages. And here on page two, it's mentioned twice, paragraphs nine and 12. And I just want to quote it real quick. We also reaffirm that the three pillars of the United Nations, sustainable development, peace and security, and human rights are equally important, interlinked, and mutually reinforcing. That bothers me a little bit. It sounds too much like enforcing. With challenges, listen, listen to the the wording, with challenges and risks to international peace and security, taking on more dangerous forms in traditional and new domains, our efforts must keep pace. Would to God that Christians would keep pace with Bible prophecy. This adopted resolution then goes on to document in great detail, I might add, how it is that they actually and specifically hope to accomplish everything in this pact for the future. And we shouldn't be surprised to learn that one of the main ways they're doing this is vis-a-vis vaccines, which we'll talk about more at the end here in just a moment. But I want you to listen to this quote from page 55 Paragraph 23, we hereby pledge to protect the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. So far so good. It's like, oh, how are you going to do this now? Through universal health coverage and strengthened and resilient health systems, as well as equitable access to safe, nobody's beating the doors down, equitable access to safe, affordable, effective, and quality medicines and vaccines, safe and effective. And we want everybody to have access. under this universal health coverage and resilient health system. Again, more on that in a moment. Add to this a quote from page 24 under action 34, paragraph B, which clearly states what they're planning to do and truth be made known, already doing. Quote, accelerate efforts, revving up efforts to achieve universal health coverage to ensure that all young people enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, including immunizations of which they get 72 and vaccinations. And how about this? Sexual and reproductive health. They're sterilizing these women because it's population control, as some of these third world countries that Bill Gates can't even step foot into anymore. Do you know about that? This is sterilizing people. It's messing with the reproductive organs. I don't have time. Real quick. Yeah, let me have this one. The HPV vaccine, I forget what it stands for. You know, it has to do with sexually transmitted diseases, right? The HPV vaccine, mandated for young girls at the earliest of ages, like 11 years old, Excuse me? You know how many of these young girls have died because of that vaccine? Do you know about that? Do you know how many of these girls that took that HPV vaccine innocently are sterilized? Never will they have children, ever. Now, this is where it gets interesting, if you're thinking. Can this be enough for one day? No. This is either interesting or terrifying, depending on where you're at. But it relates to the role that everything being digital plays in all of this. So I decided to daringly do another search for the word digital. And again, oh my goodness, I mean, It is all over the place, 24 pages. It's mentioned over 20 times on just one page, page 41. Just one page. It's mentioned 20 times right there. You see it? Put it back up for the online people. One page, 20 times. I won't torture you by quoting all of them, though I could. But in the interest of time, I'll just highlight some excerpts. I think you'll see why here in a moment. Here's a quote from page 37, paragraph 7. Listen. Objectives. To achieve our goal, we will pursue the following objectives. Expand inclusion in and benefits from The digital economy for all. Hold on to that. Digital economy for all. What repeatedly jumped out at me were two phrases. Digital cooperation, the implication being that there will be some kickback and people will not be so willing to cooperate. So digital cooperation, why will there be some kickback, people not wanting to cooperate? Well, that's the second phrase, digital transformation. Do you know what that means? They're going to transform everything digitally. I mention this because upon closer examination, it exposes what's really behind the cleverly crafted and demonically devised wording, namely that of, and here's that word, enforcing compliance on digital platforms. What are digital platforms? Come on, social media platforms. Digital cooperation. You're not cooperating. Digital transformation. Everything's digital. And everything, pardon me, is all about Agenda 2030 and its 17 SDGs, also known as the Sustainable Development Goals. We've talked about that. in prior, we've talked about everything in prior updates. Here's a breathtaking quote from page 44, paragraph 31A. We commit by 2030 to create a safe and secure online space for all users that ensures their mental health and well-being. by defining and adopting common standards, guidelines, and industry actions that are in compliance with international law, promote safe civic spaces, and address content on digital platforms that causes harm to individuals. Did you catch that? AI is going to have the algorithms to catch everything you post online. And if you're not cooperating and you're endangering the mental health and the well being of people because what you posted goes against the narrative. Yeah, but it's the truth. It doesn't matter. It goes against the narrative. It's causing harm. Harm to who? Harm to you. Lastly, I did a search for the word governance. I probably shouldn't have taken it this far, but I did. It's on 15 pages. I'll only quote page 31, paragraph 76. We recognize the importance of continuing to pursue governance reforms at the international financial institutions and multilateral development banks, still quoting We underscore the need to enhance the representation and voice of developing countries in global economic decision-making, norm-setting, and, listen to this, global economic governance, global governance, global economic governance, at international economic and financial institutions, including the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. That's Revelation 13, by the way. Spoiler alert. Okay. I'm actually wanting to try to keep today's update as short as possible because of the but God testimony that I can't wait to share with you. So we're going to go ahead, turn the corner, I want to provide a summary judgment of sorts to borrow a legal term, but let's go ahead at this time and end the live stream on YouTube and Facebook. First, let me say that based on this pact for the future being adopted last week, the time has come for what I refer to as the demon possessed conspirators, Some people call them the global elite or whatever. I call them demon possessed conspirators because, well, they're demon possessed conspirators. Do you know what happened last week? They just got the green light. Everything was already in place. They were just waiting for this green light. They got it. And so now they are free to escalate their word, the executing My word of their evil plot and conspiracy, all of which is even now beginning to fulfill major Bible prophecy. And this in the following ways. Again, this is a summary. Number one, dividing Jerusalem in their attempt at destroying Israel and the Jewish people. Number two, replacing, eliminating humans by way of AI, artificial intelligence, already happening. Number three, forcing humans with their digital economy for all. How they can do that? They're going to force humans, I use humans because of Klaus Schwab's transhumanism. forcing humans into this digital economy for all, which will be centralized digital bank currency, CBDCs, and you will be allotted a universal basic income, UBI. And your ability to use, to buy, to sell your allotted amount of income, that's all digital, centralized, will be predicated on your social credit score and your carbon credit score. And don't take my word for it. You could do your own research. The mechanism is already in place. The system and the structure has already been completed. It's just a matter now of pulling the lever. And they just got the green light to do it. And you know what comes packaged with it in our summary? Number four, mandating humans use use of a universal biodigital ID to buy or do anything. See if it's all going to be a digital governed system. You go into the store, it's cashless. Your cash is worthless. It's digital. Biodigital means they're going to take the technology that's on you, your phone, your device, and they're going to put it in you. Forehand, forehead, facial recognition, palm scanner. And you can't do anything or buy anything unless you are cooperating and in compliance. Number five ties into this governing humans, the surveillance of humans. For what purpose? For our own, for your safety? No, it's not. It's to enforce total compliance in this quote, secure online space, because we don't want to harm anyone. Number six, this one is hard, and I know you're going to look at me cross eyed. I can't see if you are anyway, because the lights are so bright. But it's the killing humans who are seen as, I'm going to use a phrase, useless eaters. You know who said that? That's a direct quote from one Yuval Harari out of Israel. Useless eaters, huh? Really? I'm not a useless eater. I'm someone made in the image of God. Lastly, number seven, injecting humans. First damaging their DNA, which is why people are dying and getting very sick, getting cancer, myocarditis, pericarditis, all the above. And then in the seven year tribulation, it will go from damaging DNA to altering DNA. I think I'd be grossly remiss were I not to briefly share this Newsweek headline from last December titled Florida official raises alarms about DNA and COVID-19 vaccines. Actually at first I have to confess I was a little surprised to find that it hadn't been scrubbed. You know, I bookmark a lot of these and then I go back later and they're gone. And this was still there. But after I read it again, I realized why. The reason this is still up is because they ripped this guy to shreds. And he's the Florida Surgeon General, Joseph Lodopol. I actually quoted him prior when this first broke, and we've talked about it in previous updates. But the reason I'm bringing it up again today is because This is just textbook. Please hear me out. We're almost done. By textbook, I mean when someone like this discovers the truth, they have to immediately and absolutely be excoriated and discredited. How so? These so-called fact checkers label anyone that's onto the truth as a conspiracy theorist, touting what they hope are seen as debunked claims. Another example, and then we'll bring it in for a close. Have you noticed when you do an online search, even, it doesn't matter the search engine anymore, any search engine, but particularly Google, just enter in something like vaccines alter DNA. debunked, debunked, debunked, debunked, debunked, not true. And then if you really want to, you know, if you're real glutton for punishment, like your pastor is, read a couple of these, how they, it's laughable. It's laughable. They'd go to great extents to try to debunk what's true so that people will dismiss it. as false. And some of these fact checkers, where do they get these people? They need Jesus, these fact checkers. They need Jesus. And that's a fact. Check it out. Yeah, that's a good segue into the gospel, isn't it? Here's the bottom line. The time has come for non believers to believe and believers to look up. Why? Because the time has come. Our redemption draws nigh. I'm telling you, I say it every week. I hope you don't tire of me saying it. I truly believe with everything in my heart, my whole heart, that we are so close, so close. And now's the time. The time has come. Please indulge me just a couple minutes. I want to end with the gospel of salvation and an explanation of salvation by way of the ABCs of salvation. Again, this is not a formula or a template. It's a tool to equip you with should God give you the profound privilege of bringing somebody into your path that needs Jesus. So you're ready. It's so simple. The gospel is simple. the first thing that needs to happen, it doesn't have to be, you know, insert tab A into slot B to get C. Don't do that. Let the Holy Spirit have elbow room. But the person that needs Jesus first has to acknowledge that they're a sinner. Otherwise they're not going to be interested in the Savior. If they think they're a good person, you're not going to get very far with them. Because they have already bought the lie that good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell. It's the opposite. There's going to be a lot of very bad people in heaven. I'll be at the front of that line, and don't look at me all spiritual. You'll be right behind me. There's going to be a lot of good people in hell. That is not the gauge by which you determine who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. It has nothing to do with being a good person. Take him to Romans 3 10. There is no one good, no one righteous, not even one. Take him to Romans 3 23. This is affectionately referred to as the Romans road. I love it. This is why nobody is good. All have sinned. We were all born sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Now, if you can get them to that place, now I think the harvest is ripe. The laborers are few. So take advantage and seize the opportunity. Because if they acknowledge they've sinned, then they're going to be more readily willing to accept that there's a penalty for that. What's the penalty? It's the death penalty. For the wages of sin is death. You've broken God's law and you've been sentenced to death. That's the bad news. Here's the good news. The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. When they understand they can't do anything, be good enough, pay enough, nothing. But it was all done for them instead of them, and offered as a gift to them that Jesus purchased with His shed blood in their stead. Now they're ready for the B, which is so central. It's believing in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord. And this is not as, I again hope you don't tire of me saying this is not, well, I believe in God. I'm a Christian. No, this means you put your trust in the person of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, so that when that great and final day comes, you are not standing before Him in your own righteousness, which Isaiah says is as filthy rags. You have Christ's imputed righteousness. So why should I let you in? Well, I'm a good person, never murdered anybody. Sorry, wrong answer. Why should I let you in? Because I put my trust in Jesus, who paid for all of my sins. Enter in, well done, good and faithful servant. Romans 10, 9 says, if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. And the seed lastly, and again, this isn't, this isn't, like you don't need notes for this, right? Because it just, it's the expression, it comes out because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Do you remember when you first got saved? For some of you, I don't know how long ago it was. For me, it was so long ago, I can, you know, the memory goes, you know, it was over 42 years. So I don't ever want to lose those memories. But I mean, the only thing that I talked about was Jesus. And I had such a deep theological understanding of God's Word, which I hadn't read yet all the way through for the first time. Jesus is real. Jesus is really, really real. You need Jesus because He's real. He's so real. Jesus is real. And actually I led a couple of people to Christ just because they needed Jesus. And He was real. And they wanted Jesus to be real because unbeknownst to me, they had prayed, Jesus, if you're real, reveal yourself to me. And they got this guy in their face going, Jesus is real. out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. I mean, if Jesus is in your heart, you believe in your heart, Jesus Christ is Lord, what's going to come out of your mouth? Jesus Christ is Lord. You're going to confess it with your mouth. Romans 10, 13 says, all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Aren't you glad it doesn't say, there's a pretty good chance you'll be saved. You know, jury's out. We'll see how you do. Aren't you glad when Jesus said it is finished, there wasn't a comma, or He didn't say if, however, I hope. No, it is finished. Nothing you can do. It was already done. He paid in full for all your sins. And if you'll put your trust in Him, you'll be saved. It's a gift you receive. That's the gospel. Jesus died for you, because of His love for you. No greater love hath any man that he lay down his life for another. And He paid your sin debt. And by the way, if you're here today or watching online, if God can pay your sin debt, He could also pay your rent. I'll give you a moment on that. Paul says that to the Romans. Maybe this is a word for somebody here today. If God is unwilling to withhold His only begotten Son to give to you, to die for you, is there anything He won't do for you? I mean, think about it from our perspective, right? We're trusting God for eternal life, and we can't trust God for this month's rent. Does that make sense? Okay, today is about God testimony. Oh my goodness, this is, It's really a salvation testimony and it was mailed to us and I didn't have an email address or phone number just to make sure it was okay to mention him by name. So I wanted to err on the side of an abundance of caution and just have him remain anonymous. If you're watching and I could have used your name, would you let me know? Here's what he wrote. Listen to this. JD in France. Just over three years ago, a very close coworker wanted me to give Christianity a shot to prove to me it was real. They should have talked to me 42 years ago. I would have told him it was real. She did this by asking me, get this, to watch your prophecy update. She knew I was big into the prophecy stuff, working with psychics, seers, false prophets, and all kinds of fortune telling avenues. She asked me to watch your videos just to give you a chance. Well, about a month later, due to how much I respected her and her opinions, I decided to give it a chance. I told God that if he was reaching out and if he was real, this was his one chance, no pressure. I was giving him two hours to your teachings as a forced lesson. to myself to see what God wanted to say to me. It did not take the whole two hours. I don't remember which lessons I listened to three years ago in early July, but I was completely blown away that you taught out of a 2000 year old book and completely showed that everything happening today was being predicted by it. I started watching hours and hours more of your videos, and not just the prophecy updates. I couldn't put you down for about two weeks. You poor guy. Finally, in the early hours of July 22, 2020, I begged God for forgiveness and joined His kingdom. Soon after, my government job required the jab. I was probably one of the first to reach out to you for an exemption. Sure enough, your team provided one very quickly. Thankfully, it was not completely unnecessary before the court shut it down, but I'll never forget the generous and fast response to myself and the thousands of others desperately needing that exemption letter. Since turning to God, I spent hours and hours watching your videos, studying Revelation, the New Testament. I found a church to join and be a part of. Get this, I am now a youth teacher, men's ministry organizer, and avid participant in all we do at our small church. And it all began with your ministry teachings. Your teachings were the first ones to help me to do that. You literally helped save my soul. Your teaching helped save me from destruction while increasing my knowledge of the Bible, God, Jesus, and His teaching. Thank you for all your years of hard work and lessons available to all of us in these times of desperate need. God bless you in your journey, and thank you from the deepest part of my soul. Ah, praise the Lord. Epona, come on up. Why don't you stand up? We'll close in prayer again. I appreciate your patience. I didn't do too bad. Don't look at your watches yet. Father, thank You. So great is salvation, freely given, costs You everything, Your life, But because of Your love for us, You died for us, so that we could be with You for all eternity, O God. For anyone that's here watching online that has never believed, put their trust in You, believed in You, Lord, I pray that today, like this, just, powerful salvation testimony I just read. That day came for him in July of 2020. Well, maybe it's for somebody else today here in September of 2024. Please let this be the day of their salvation, that they would enter into the kingdom and come to a saving knowledge of you, Jesus. And for those of us that know You, many of whom have maybe been walking with You for many, many years, we're admittedly weary, Lord. We long ago overstayed our welcome in this world, not our home. So will You take us home? Will You come quickly? Yes, we know there are many that need to come into the kingdom first. And we pray for that, of course. That's why we do these updates and end with the gospel. But Lord, please don't tarry. Come quickly. Even so, Lord Jesus, we pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
