The Confessionals - 847: The Days of Noah & The Final Flood

Episode Date: March 24, 2026

What if the days of Noah weren’t just history, but a warning about what’s happening right now?Tony sits down with Pastor Larry Ragland to unpack a sobering message about the modern Church, the great deception, and a coming reality most believers aren’t prepared for. Drawing from The Final Flood, Larry asserts that we are entering a time marked not just by chaos, but by a collision of darkness and divine glory, where deception becomes normalized and discernment becomes rare. The conversation explores Nephilim incursions, occult influence, transhumanism, and alien disclosure, all framed through a biblical lens that suggests something ancient is returning in a new form. As the urgency builds, one theme remains clear, something is coming, even if we can’t fully define it yet. And in the end, the warning shifts from theory to reality: the door is still open, but it won’t stay that way forever.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

She is battling breast cancer right now, and we're praying for complete healing in Jesus' name. Thank you. Merkel. Media's here. This was all circulating around the base that a giant had been killed, but no one was supposed to talk about it. I saw three long, boning fingers, reach up underneath the door, curl up to grab it, and then disappear. When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me. And this giant comes out of the cave and they're all frozen.

And he starts running and firing up this giant. Well, the giant moves. He's got a spear in one hand and he's running really fast. And spears, Dan, holds him up like this. Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face. They basically decapitate him. Feel something pulling at my leg. and I look over and there are two small gray entities pulling it.

And they're literally, I'm getting pulled off the bed. I reached my hand into this bush and I touch air. Couldn't breathe and I couldn't move because I know I'm seeing a monster.

week. And in this conversation, I sit down with him to explore his new book, The Final Flood, and the idea that the world may be entering a modern version of the days of Noah. We dig into the biblical concept of deception in the last generation, the possibility of another Nephlem incursion, and how emerging technologies like AI and transhumanism could play a role in the coming spiritual conflict. Larry lays out his theory that history has already seen multiple incursions of these beings and that humanity itself may play a role in inviting them back in again. We also discuss why many churches may be unprepared for the supernatural realities believers could soon face. This conversation pushes into prophecy, spiritual warfare,

and the idea that a Noah generation may be rising right now. Let's get to this conversation with Larry Raglan back in studio. How you doing, man? Man, I'm awesome. Tony Merkel. I'm glad you. Back in Tony Merkel's studio. Yeah, you're back in. There's no better place to be.

Hey, so you said that there was a lot of people coming to your church after the last appearance? Absolutely, man. It's incredible. Of all the places I've ever been, all the podcasts that have been on, nothing has given us the response to the Confessions. The Confessionals family is awesome, man. We have people that had been following you for years, had no idea.

Our church was right there in their neighborhood. Some of them are driving two hours plus. That's why. And they found us on the last time I was here in the studio, it just really, wrecked their world. They loved it. They thought, man, this pastor's right down the road. I'm going. Some of them's already joined our church and they're a part of our family. That's awesome. It is. I'm glad to hear that. Yes. So that's why we brought you in because we're trying to bring more numbers to the Raglan family. Come on. We'll take it. We'll take it. Yes. I want to see if we can get somebody

driving five hours to your church. That would be awesome. Wouldn't it be crazy? That would be crazy. We do have some people. We have a couple that drives over from Georgia. Man. Because they saw us in the program. They drive over from Georgia. Yeah. They drive through that big forest that's between Georgia and what's a what's that Top-Dega? Yeah. Oh, we could have a whole show in Teledaga Farms. I know.

It's crazy. A lot of weird stuff going out there. Yeah. I've heard maybe Bigfoot. It's a lot of stuff. Maybe, maybe. That's a lot. There's a lot of legend coming out of there.

So you have the big picture prophecy conference. Absolutely. I might have heard of it. You might have heard. You might be the keynote and you might just be the first speaker of the entire conference. Let's rephrase that. The keynote. I don't want to say.

Yeah. The key notes. We got some other small time people. coming along with you. They're not on the level of Tony Merkel. You know, people like Joseph C. Island Adi-O., Paul Begley, you know, Sandy Raglan. They all stand in the shadow of Tony Merkel.

But, yeah, the big picture prophecy conference is coming up very soon. And it's our first ever prophecy conference. We are pumped about it. And when we planned it, we had no idea the timing of how this thing would drop. It's crazy. It's crazy. Because, I mean, it's going to be March 27th, 28th, 29th. You just think we just went to war with Iran.

We've got disclosure coming. I mean, all the things that we had planned on talking, Epstein files, I mean, the things we were planning on talking about just went to another level. So it's going to be amazing. Yeah, I mean, at the time of this recording, we're a few weeks away, but this episode is going to drop the week of.

So if anybody hears me say something like this, this week, it is actually this week. So this week, at the time of hearing this recording, you can still come on out to the big picture prophecy conference at, what was it? Don't tell me, prophecyconference 26.com. Boom, you got it. That's right.

And if you'll go right now and use the promo code, Tony, you'll get a significant discount. Yeah, you know, some people spell my name with an eye on the end. I always thought that was the way chick's spell Tony. So I'm not a chick. Well, I think if you spill it with an eye, it won't work. Yeah. It's T-O-N-Y, and everybody that watches this program should know how to spell Tony work. I would think, but I still get emails with T-O-N-I.

I'm just like, come on, man. But it is what it is. But yeah, no, I'm really excited to be there. I have I've already shared with you some things that I feel like I want to talk about. It's going to be awesome. But I was intimidated just by the idea. I'm like, why am I? Why?

But I'm happy. I'm happy to do it. And I think it's just something that God's doing in my life. Well, we encourage everybody that loves the confessionals that maybe follow the big picture. And, you know, me and you are very close friends. Love each other, man. We're family. And all the people that are coming are family.

It's just going to be incredible. We wanted you to be in the room with us. But in addition to that, if you can't come, there's a streaming option. And the reason we're doing the streaming option is, and I want everybody to know about this conference, and the reason we're doing it is because there's going to be no restrictions. There's no topic that's off topic. There's no censorship. It's not going to be on YouTube.

It's not going to be on Facebook, even X or even Rumble. It's just going to be exclusively within a member's area of our website so that when we discuss what we're going to discuss, we're not going to hold anything back. So it's going to be incredible. I can't imagine what Joseph Z is going to say. That's what I'm saying. Yes. Yes.

Exactly. I mean, I can't wait. But yeah, that's going to be Birmingham, Alabama. Yep. The 27th, 28, 29th of March. 20th, what, Sandy helped me. March 24th, right? Yeah.

27th, 8th, and 9th. You knew it better than me. Yeah. March 27th, 28th. I was going to say, I'm pretty sure I was saying that on the intro is the Pacco, 27, 28, 29. That's right. Yes, yes, yes.

And I will be speaking on the 24th, 27. Yes. Anyways, I hope to see people there. So I wanted to bring you back up here because your book, The Final Flood, is going to be dropping soon. Yep. And the last time we had you up here, we were hitting on it. And I felt like there was a lot of stuff left on the table. Absolutely. So let's start off with why the Final Flood? Why do you call it the Final Flood? And we're just going to kind of let it rip from there. Okay. because you did share with me. You shared with me.

I just got to say it because I was teasing it beforehand that I was going to steal the idea. But you shared with me this idea about how the Nephilim survived the flood. Yeah. And I thought it was really interesting. And I do think that I'm going to probably use it in the future. But let it be known. We'll go there.

Let be known that this is actually a Ragland idea first. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm not going to say that someone. else has not thought about it, but it is in the book. But when we'll get there in the program today, but to answer the question about the final flood is, you know, you and I talk about Matthew 24 all the time, where the disciples came to Jesus and they said, okay, look, we really want to be able to know when you're coming is near. So give us some signs that we ought to look for that this thing is winding down and you're going to return.

So we all know, and I was raised in church. I remember hearing about, you know, start looking for when the earthquakes increase and people would track earthquakes. And then they'd hear volcanoes and all this. And then they'd talk about somebody's going to war over here. Then there'd be a rumor of a war. So you'd hear about wars and rumors of wars. But most of my life in church, to be honest with you, that was the signs we look for. We look for earthquakes.

We look for wars and rumors of wars. We even look for pestilence. But for some reason, the church just sort of read right over, I think, probably the most important parts of that entire conversation that Jesus was having. He led with, before he did anything. else he led would see that you be not to see. He said, because the first thing you need to know about that generation that's going to exist when I come back, just before I come back, is it's going to be massively filled with deception. It is going to be the strong delusion. It's going to be a great

falling away. Something is going to happen. He goes on to say that is going to be so deceptive that it would deceive the very elect, if even possible. So he said, before I tell you anything else, guard your heart against deception, because deception will rule in that final generation. Then he goes on to say, let's take it even further to describe the world that we're going to live in, as in the days of Noah and in the days before the flood. So shall it be in the days of the coming of the sun. Well, Jesus knew exactly what he was talking about. He wasn't talking about two by two animals. He wasn't talking about even about a boat.

He wasn't talking about rain. I believe he wasn't even talking about water. He was talking about the condition of the world. He went on to say, you know, they went about, they were marrying, giving him marriage, they were doing. things. So as I begin to study that, and I've been parked there for several years, I've preached out of for several years, talking about the Noah generation, the Noah generation. Now, I begin to think about a couple of things that he was warning us against, and I believe this is one of the greatest deceptions here, even more than the chaotic things that we're going

to see. I believe we're going to get in today. We're going to talk about transhumanism. We're going to talk about the return of the Nephlem for the final incursion, which I believe there's going to be one more incursion that happens, that mimics Genesis chapter 6, going to happen in different ways. Really? Oh yeah, I really do. I believe there's going to be one more encouragement.

I believe that's part of the final flood. But I think the great deception, part of what he was trying to say is they had normalized it. See, the fact that he said they were having marriages, they were going to parties and all this stuff. When you really studied Genesis Chapter 6, it blows my mind to think that they're just having weddings.

They're going out to eat. They're watching Netflix, basically, if it was in modern day. They were going about their normal life while giants and hybrids, massive, I mean, hybrids between humans and animals were operating. Angelic beings had crossed the dimension into our dimension and had relations. How in the world that happened? Only God knows, but it did.

The Bible tells us it did. So all that's going on, but they're just going on about their life. So I look at the days of Noah now, and I see the resurgence of all these things, the transhumanism, the modern day tower of Bible. We cover all that in there. but more than anything, we've normalized it. We're not shocked by anything. Think about how many times we've seen something in the news. Oh, I can't believe that.

Two days later, we're not even talking about it. So the final flood is called that because I believe there's going to be one final flood that comes together out of two. I believe there's going to be a final flood of darkness, everything the devil's got on one generation. Then there's going to be a final flood of glory, everything that God's got on the remnant.

Right in the middle of that final flood, darkness hitting on another level, glory hitting on another level is going to be something called the remnant. Another name for the remnant are the noas. And so the whole book was birth, the whole final flood was birth with this one statement. I was preaching a men's conference. And I was having the men to repeat after me. I said, say this with me, men. And they said, say this. We are. We are the Noah, the Noah generation. And they said that. And I thought that was send the message. As soon as I said that I heard the Lord speak in my spirit, you can't be the Noah generation without a generation of Noah's. And you're going to write a book about the generation

of Noah's. So in the middle of this final flood of everything the devil's got and everything that God has got, there is a Noah generation that is going to be that final Noah. So everything the devil's got. And I know how you feel and I feel the same way. We are the remnant. We are that generation. So do you feel like where we're at right now, we're experiencing everything the devil's got? Or do you think he's got more coming? No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, if this is everything the devil's got, he's, he's, you know, light work. Yeah, it's light work. No, no, no. I feel like that it's one of the, in other words I use a lot is acceleration. I believe 2026 is the year of acceleration. One thing that our mutual friend Troy Brewer talks about, and of course he talks

You've heard of him. Yeah. He's done a few great things for God out there. Cowboy hat wearing Troy Brewer. Giant Seahid. Giant Seahed. Yeah. My son almost got sacrificed in the Indian Temple, Troy Brewer. Exactly. Exactly. They ain't nobody like him. But, you know, one of the things that he talks a lot about is numbers. And so I was, he's really intrigued me to look at more of the numerical value of things. My wife is very, very big into the numerical value of things in relation to not only God. but how the enemy uses as well. But when I looked at the year 2026, I began to realize that the Hebrew name, I mean, it's the secret name of God, Yahweh. The numerical equivalent of Yahweh is 26. I don't know if you knew that.

So when you take the numerical value of Yudhevvv, which spells the name Jehovah, Jehovah, the secret name of God, when you add all those numerical values of those four letters up, it comes to 26. So I began to realize, something really special is happening in 26, special for God, and the enemy knows that as well. So 26 on our Gregorian calendar, and God's infinite knowledge, I know he operates by the Jewish

calendar, but he knew that the world would operate by a Gregorian calendar that as we get closer than that Noah generation, we go into a year that's literally stamped with the name of God on it. And so I started thinking about, okay, is this going to, in 25, I said, I think some things are really going to accelerate in 26 and beyond. I think 26 is going to be a very key year. So I started preaching towards the end of 25 in my church and on my podcast, the big picture, I started telling people, you better get ready for 26. My wife, I'll tell you, I say it all the time. This is the year of acceleration. This is the year of everything accelerates. So we're beginning to see the acceleration. Who knew that just three months into it, we would be in

an all-out war with the snake, the head of the snake of terrorism around the world? at the Middle East what's happening now. We've got the Epstein files that have come out and all the stuff that we're reading about that we probably can't even talk about some of the stuff that's on there. Some of the guests that you've had is just incredible. So you think about that. Then you think about you and I both sit in a meeting,

a closed meeting with people who are connected on the inside in the entire rollout of UFO and alien disclosure. All of this is happening in the first three months of 2026. So the answer to your question is this, all the devil's got, no. But it's more coming. And one other thing I will say is you think about in the book of Revelation.

Now, it's going to depend on where people fall in their eschatology, pre-trib, mid-trip, post-trip, rapture, whatever. But it seems to imply to me that in the middle point of tribulation period, something significant is going to happen. And it says, woe into the inhabitants of the earth, for the accuser of the brethren has been cast down for he knows he has but a short time. He with great wrath. So I'm saying that to say the enemy knows the timeline.

He knows when things are winding down. And he's accelerating his attack because he plays the long game. But his long game is running out. And I believe 26, 27, if the Lord Terriers is returned beyond, we're going to see an acceleration of evil like we've never seen. And I think we're going to truly see the return of the days of Noah. We are not there, but we're at the beginning of it. Yeah, I mean, it's, I've never ran track in high school.

but I assume this is how it works when you have the relay races. You save your best runner for the end. Yeah, you know? And so like it's a gradual buildup. And looking at it, it's like they're all fashioned to me, but it's like that last person

just as a spectator, you're like, this must be the fastest of the fastest for both teams sprinting towards the finish line. And I do feel like that to affect, the very first live show we did this year was me saying very similar things. I just is telling people there's something about 26. It's going to, what we should do, Jack, at some point is we should probably go back

through that and pull the clips. And that way we have them. Kind of like Joseph Z. style. He's like, I said this five years ago. I told you all. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But did you, have you ever heard of John Bevere?

Oh, yeah. Love him. Yeah. So he just came out with a book talking about the end times. Yes, he did. And I'm very, like, not connected with a lot of pastors and who's who and stuff. But from my understanding, it's, like, not typically his thing that he usually talks about. Absolutely, it's not.

I heard him talking, I think, with his son on their own podcast the other day. And he talked about how, I guess, the completion of the state of Israel actually happened in 67 for the five-day war. And so from that, the idea that that that generation, will see the coming of the son of a man. He was projecting, I might be missed, I doubt he ever will, but if you ever hears this and I'm messing it up,

hey, just come on the show and correct me. I bet you watch this. I doubt it. Maybe. Who knows? But he projects that, say somebody was born that day, and they live 100 years.

So 2067, you're looking at about a 100-year window where we're probably that generation. It just seems like a lot of people, people right now, yourself included, are saying, guys, we're not even our forefathers and our great-grandparents saying, you know, in the year 1900, oh, look, the automobile is accelerating and it's the end of the world. Like, we're actually looking at the, and it's like, no, it's, it's really simple math right now. We understand what's going on. And so it's

incredible. Do you think, not telling you to set a date? Okay. Okay. Because I know everybody gets all worked up about date setting. I'm not setting dates, neither are you. But with the acceleration of 26, there's been a lot of 27 talk that things are going to really happen in 27. And what are those things? I don't know.

But people are saying by the time we get the 28, if we get there, the world, the country is going to look completely different, our culture. Think about how much AI's changed since Trump was inaugurated the second time, right? Yeah. So like, say by the time we get the 28th, the next presidential election here in the United States, the world's going to be so different. Do you think we make it to the 2030s in your gut? Oh, my goodness. If you don't feel comfortable saying anything, it's fine. You say, I plead the fifth. My comfortable answer is just simply, and I'm very comfortable in saying this, I have no idea. So that's my answer. But I would say that, it's looking less and less likely, and I don't want to sound doom and gloom guy.

But I'm telling you, there has to be an end. That's what I keep telling people is that there can't always be the end times. There has to be an end. He is coming. He is coming one day. I'm of the belief that he could come right now. But he is coming. And now there are things that while we're here, he said he has commanded us to get done.

And so I think that we need to operate. as voices that God has blessed us to be right now, as a watchman on the wall, whatever you want to call it, prophetic voices to this moment. Just preparing people. That's my mandate. See, we got to understand our assignment.

Our assignment is not a podcast. Our assignment, we look back on you, you didn't know it when God started moving on you to do the confessionals. I certainly didn't know it was the big picture. I thought I was just going to do an in-depth Bible study. I thought it was going to break down the Hebrew and Greek of things as a pastor. I had no idea.

I had no idea. I was going to be talking about Nephulome and UFO. and aliens and files that are being released and all this kind of stuff. But God did. And God knew that the intrigue that he put in you was going to be needed in this time because as we get closer and closer, the darker and darker it's going to get. And the thing, Tony, that just troubles me more than anything. And I know there are pastors that watch your program.

I know that there are leaders that watch your program. The thing that shakes me to my core gives me chills. And literally, this is not a cliche, keeps me up at night, gives me dreams. I worry about it all the time. is that pastors and leaders of the church are afraid to talk about what we're talking about. And that is why there will be such a great falling away because we have not equipped them to be able to handle this. And so to answer your question, do I believe we'll make it to 2030? If I were a bad man, which I'm not, I would say maybe.

Yeah, because why I say that is because there's so much being said about 2030. The last time we was here, we talked about agenda 23rd. in the 2030 is almost like it's gone underground right now. Remember, when the liberals were in charge, it's all we heard from the World Economic Forum. That's all we heard from the United Nations, 2030, 2030, everything's 2030. In fact, a lot of it's been scrubbed now,

but one time I did an experiment, I went to, I don't know if I should drop some brand names, but I should say the most famous soft drink company, I went to their website, many of the television networks, I went to their website. I went to a lot of major brands, and I just simply searched 2030 on their websites. Every single major corporation that I could find had an entire page dedicated to what they wanted to do by 2030.

Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The soft drink company, I have family that works there and was able to tell me that, too, that there were discussions that were going on. So these companies all were told to get something ready by 2030. So it was everywhere. Almost like that ESG stuff back in the day.

Back in the day. Everything was ESG. Everything was, you know, the 17 sustainable goals by the United Nations agenda 23rd. They were every, they were so felt so free to say that. Then, of course, Trump came on the scene. So then he started destroying all this woke agenda and everything. So they started scrubbing that. But what I tell people on our channel all the time is, listen, they don't change their mind.

The forces out there, their plans that they have, they don't care what we say and who's in office. They don't change their mind. They just go underground. So that being said, I believe there's, is. interesting that you would ask about 2030. I think between now and 2030, we can't even fathom the change that is coming. A.I. is going to be a huge part of that. Disclosure is going to be a huge part of that. No matter what they say, 26 or 27 about UFOs and aliens, can you imagine how that narrative, once it's out, once anything is out, no matter what they say, if they admit that

we have anything that we've ever been in touch with anything, and they don't go any further than that, Can you imagine how that narrative will be developed by 2030? So I don't think we'll be able to recognize our world by 2030 when we look at it now. And that's why we've got to do what we're doing right now as long as we can do it, because they're going to try to stop us from doing it. Yeah, no, I absolutely agree. I think the world's going to change tremendously. I think that the idea of – so everybody talks about like the idea of the great reset,

universal basic income, which kind of like you were saying, how things kind of went underground a little bit. Yeah. That kind of went underground too, but the agenda that hasn't changed. I think what we're going to experience between disclosure, the war with Iran, probably World War III. We're probably in the middle of that right now. We don't even realize it.

The Epstein Files is, where is it going with that? What was I just talking about? We were just talking about that. He's gone. We're only 20 minutes into the conversation. Yeah. We're on the, we're on the role of going to, towards 2030 by how the world is going to change between now and 2030.

Yeah, I think with all that stuff, it's going to change the world. I had a point. I had a point, but it's gone. That's good. That's good. It's gone. But yeah. So you did say about preachers not being prepared for what's coming.

Church is not being prepared for what's coming. And you said that with the context, it sounded like you were suggesting, which I would agree with. So if you weren't suggesting it, I suggested you suggest it. Okay. There's this like rise of the supernatural that's coming. Yes. And there's a lot of churches that are not in the frame of mind to even comprehend what their eyes are going to start seeing.

100%. And there will be prime soil for deception. Yeah. And then there's the great falling away. So, because I'm trying to work towards your nephelum idea here. Yeah. Yeah. I will get that.

I think this is more of a pastoral question. What would you suggest to people now who maybe are falling in that category? Likelihood is that they're probably not listening, but if they are, or maybe people who are listening who know people in that category, what would you suggest to them on how to get through this season where their eyes are showing them something that their hearts just can't simply believe? Well, the other day I was thinking about this, and my heart was just breaking, and I just said, you know what, I've got to make a show about this. So I just sat down and I just did a show, and I called it urgent prophetic message to pastors and leaders. And I just looked in the camera, and I just shared my heart. I just said, look, I've been doing this thing. I've been pastor now for over 30 years in the same church, 35 years in ministry. I have never felt such a sense of urgency in my life in all those years. I have preached that the Lord was coming back. I have known that. he was coming back. I have looked at end times events, all my entire ministry that I've been

in ministry, but I have never felt such a push in my back from by the Holy Spirit saying, you need to tell them the full gospel. We call it the full gospel, but many people that call themselves full gospel, they don't preach the full gospel. The full gospel is the full word of God. And the full word of God warns us of these things. But people are afraid of them. They're scared of them. And I hate to say it, Tony, but I could talk about this because I am a pastor. And I know pastors that fit this, and it breaks my heart. They're, they're worried about butts in the seats. Because you put butts in the seats, that's a paycheck. That's a potential paycheck. And we have, we have commercialized and Americanized the church of such level that it's all about

what can we do to make ourselves so relevant and cool that the people will want to stay and listen to our three points in a poem. We can get them in the parking lot. We've got an amusement park waiting for them and their children, which I love Children's Ministry. Don't get me wrong. I've come do the best. Go all in for kids. But we have given an entertainment experience. We've got the smoke, smoke machines, we've got the screens. I'm not saying anything that's bad. That's bad. We got coffee. We got donuts.

But where is the glory of God? Where is the adorning of God? Where is the preaching? Where is the word repent? Because that is what the enemy wants for the church to do. He's happy with, if he can't take our soul to hell, he can stop us from bringing other people to heaven. So it's like, if he can make us feel good about ourselves that we've done the checkbox, you know, we went to church, we checked it off. We sang three songs. We checked it off. We took up the offer. We gave in ties.

We checked it off. We set a Hail Mary prayer at the end. We checked it off. Then we all got in the parking lot and we beat the crowd to the restaurant. And the rest of the week, we'd be so proud of ourselves, we went to church. That's the church that's going to be the great falling away. Because in the middle of that is where is the supernatural? Where is the understanding that there is a real world out there? Just like this over my head, this unbelievable graphic. That this is not a movie. This is what I'm trying to tell pastors. This is this is not just AI driven, even though AI's creating these images. No, I'm just not good, man. Man, you are very talented. But look, that's the real world. This is not the real world. See, this is all that we can perceive

with our eyes and our senses can perceive. That's why I call our show the big picture, because God spoke to me and said, you're going to call you show the big picture because the world isn't seeing the big picture. They don't see what I see. I need you to tell them that. I need you to tell them that I need them to ask me to show them what I see because we are being moved by emotion. We are being moved by religion. We're being moved by warm, fuzzy feelings inside, making us feel good about ourselves while the enemies sit up there laughing while we're low to sleep. And he's coming after our kids.

And our kids are doing this with their thumb and they're staying up all night long on TikTok and other apps. And they're having a whole other life out there that they're hungry for that supernatural. They're hungry for the paranormal. They're looking at witches teaching them how to do spells on TikTok. They're learning how to call demons down. They're following people talking about disclosure. Many of you know the names, a lot of the names that I don't know, but I know this is happening.

They're following people that's teaching them how to talk to these entities and draw them down to us instead of teaching them how to rebuke these entities. That's where the great following way is going to happen. That's why I felt so compelled to write this book. Now, I had no idea when I wrote this book because it was almost a year ago when I started writing this book that it was. would escalate the way it has. But now when I look at it, I think, okay, God, I see what you're doing. Certainly there's other books besides mine. It's not just mine. But I see the timing. I see the timing of this conference we've been talking about. I see the timing of the book, your book that's coming out later on in this year that you'll talk about that you're writing. I don't know if I was supposed to say

that, but it's out of the back. It's written. It's written. Okay. Okay. All right. But what I'm saying is think of the rollout. Think of the rollout of what God is laying. He's trying to raise up some voices to equip the people for the work of the minute. ministry. But I can say one other thing, too, when the Word of God says, if it were possible, it would deceive the very elect, this is such a deception. I was asking God about that. And I know there may be some people watching this program that followed the doctrine of election, the theological doctrine of election, which, you know, basically is predestination, meaning that I'm not an expert on it, but I do know that it means that some people were born, they were the elect. They were born and created to go to heaven. Other people were, were born and created to go to hell. I do not believe that. I believe that God has given us a free will. That's part of the dominion that was given to us in Genesis chapter 1. But it said, if it were possible, it would deceive the very late. I was meditating on that and I said, God, what does that mean? If I don't believe in the doctrine of election, who are the elect? What does that mean? Why can't they be

deceived? And I begin to look at it through the lens of the Noah generation, through the lens of Genesis chapter six, and then I looked at it through the lens of Ephesians chapter four, verse 11, where he says he gave gifts unto men, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry. So when we are equipped, when we are fully equipping the sheep, when the pastors are truly teaching the word of God, they will not be deceived because they will know what is happening. They will be able to identify it through a true biblical lens. but if you are not being equipped

and if you are not being taught the full gospel, you will be deceived. So I tend to believe this is what I call the gospel cordonelary, but the gospel cordonelary, I believe when Jesus is saying that if it were possible, it would deceive the very elect, I think he's saying it's going to be impossible

to deceive Tony Merkel because Tony Merkel has seen too much. A man with an argument is always at the mercy of a man with an experience. You've had an experience. You've said on this table, You've set across the table from countless, probably innumerable amount of supernatural deliverances that you've witnessed.

You've heard testimony after testimony of people that were in the darkest place that they could ever be, doing things that humans would not even ever dream of doing, but they did them or had them done to them. And you saw the power of God bring them out. You saw the power of God deliver them. So no one, no one. I don't care how educated, how eloquent they are, will ever be able to be able to. convinced that Tony Merkel to Tony Merkel that the power of God is not real, that the supernatural

deliverance power of God is not real. Am I right? Because you've experienced it. Now, we don't live just by our experiences. We live by the Word of God. But when you have the Word of God teaching you that and then you experience it, you're unstoppable. You're undeceivable. Not that you're perfect, but you will not believe the narrative of the world. All right. Let's take a second talk about our sponsor today, which is simply safe. Listen, we're living in a time that just isn't normal. In fact, maybe there's a new norm being established. But one of the things that we've been hearing in the news with this idea of sleeper cells, this is a war in Iran and all that stuff is the idea that they're saying, we will not be safe even in our homes. If you're like me,

you are desensitized to dozens of notifications on your phone each day. But if that latest ping is from your security camera, ignoring it could spell disaster. Picture this, though. Somebody is breaking in, whether it's somebody that's part of a sleeper cell or just somebody who does not like the fact that you have chickens in your backyard. I'm just speaking from experiences. But you're giving a huge presentation at work. You're at the movies, or God forbid, you're on a flight that's 30,000 feet up in the air.

You'll see the footage in a couple hours, but by then it's too late. And that is why I choose SimplySafe.

That's simplysafe.com professionals, there's no safe, like simply safe. Yeah. No, it's absolutely right. I mean, and I agree with you because I look around and I see the people that I'm surrounded by. And I'm like, I don't think any of us are, but at the same time, I just want to preface with, it's going to be such a strong deception. Yes.

That if he didn't shorten the time, right? We are susceptible. That's right. And so it's like, whoa, like if you're trying to think about what is coming, I lack the imagination for it because I can't imagine. Yep, me too. You know what I mean? And so it's like, wow.

And so when you're talking about like the forces of darkness coming and going against the forces of God and it's just like he's giving all he has, it's like, man, like you said, like you said, we haven't even seen it yet. And clearly, because I can't imagine what it would even. be to cause somebody like me to start being like, hmm, I wonder, you know? Right. But Jesus myself said, I'm going to have to shorten the time, Mark, his father will. One of those things, Nephilim.

Neffil. So, but you said, you said, always going to come back to Nefleon. It always comes back to Nefleum. Yeah. You said about the third, the third time they come and manifest being in the end days. how is that going to happen in your perspective? Okay, so go back and talk a little bit about what's in the book. One of the things that I talk about in the book is the return of the giants.

One of the chapters called The Return of the Giants. We know that the Bible tells us, Genesis chapter 6, there was Nephilim, giants in the earth in those times before and also after. And we didn't even really, I'm thankful that it says that in Genesis 6, but we also have David and Goliath, and we also have Joshua surrounding Jericho, coming back and revealing that there's giants there. So we know that there were giants,

different breed of giants, maybe not near as large with them, and this, not what this show is not a deep dive on giants, but we do know that the giants that manifested in the time of post-flood were more centralized, where it at least alludes to,

then when you take in some of the supplemental books like Enoch and some others, you start seeing that it implies that the insurgents, the first insurgents, was probably global, not just centered around the people of God in Israel, like maybe post-flood. Don't know that for sure that that was the only place that was there, but we do know the Bible sort of alludes to us at the very least that there were certain tribes and nations that had giants among them. It doesn't sound like the world that was globally filled with the Nephlin. So if you look at that, you look at the minimum of two incursions. You look at the famous incursion, the sons of God, saw the daughters of men, took them as wives, and they had relations, and then they had children, which became the nephilum.

Then the narrative, if you believe most people that believe in nephalum at all, then the flood happened because of the nephalum, other things, but mainly because of that incursion. And then many people believe, most people believe that we receive the demons that we deal with now as the disembodied spirits of the Nephlin. So then you have the flood. Well, then we see them coming back after the flood. So there's a great question how that happened. Well, there's theories, you know, there's all kinds of crazy theories.

There's actually a prominent theory that I can't believe even people even think this. But somehow one giant or something hang hung on, you know, all that time and somehow made it on the boat, which is insane to me that people even believe that. Strong grip, man. But no. And then, of course, there's a very prominent theory that one of his daughter, and laws had some strain of DNA of the sons of God within her and somehow then repopulated. Then there's another theory that has to do with one of his sons.

So I started looking at that and I started thinking about maybe a fourth theory. And I call it the theory of invitation. And so we see that the Tower of Babel, Nimrod and Tower of Babel is post-flood. And we know the story of the Tower of Babel, and it is a very famous story. And it is where, of course, Babylon, Bible, bail, all this traces back its origins to from that spirit. The Bible says that they were trying to build a tower. They said, come, let's make a name for ourselves. So the narrative is always been that this was a prideful thing.

Well, it was a very prideful thing. We know that. The Bible says that. And this is, once again, the gospel cord, a layer. I can't prove this. But I tend to look at it. In the research of my book, I found that there are some apocryphal writings. And I can't quote which one it was from right now.

I want to say maybe it was the Book of Jubilee. I can't remember. But there is a story that, I don't know if you've heard this, that Nimrod had been given or found the clothing of Adam. Have you heard of that? Okay. So there's, and please understand there might be experts out there. I might be butchering this. But I didn't stay a long time in it.

I did include you in the book. But that somehow he got a hold of the garment of Adam that had, and of course this is mythological here, that had special powers. And that Nimrod wrapped himself in the garment of Adam. And when he did, he somehow tied into some supernatural beings and all that. And he had this idea along with some of the inscriptions and engravings that has survived the flood. You can imagine if you're in a pre-flood condition and you built some of these massive structures that are out there and you carved out things that fallen angels were trying to detail and all of that.

Well, it's very possible that many of those writings, call them hieroglyphics, whatever you want to call them, survive the flood. So that you have a post-flood world that doesn't have that hidden technology that was given to those that were pre-flood. So if you have this garment of Adam, even if that's true, it doesn't matter. he had a spirit on him. Some people even believe that he had somehow tapped into some type of nephalum blood in him as well, because a tradition says he was a very large man himself. And so then he has this idea to build this tower. Well, I tend to believe the invitation theory goes like this,

that man was given dominion. Genesis 1-26, let us make man in our image and our likeness and let us give him dominion over everything. So everything that happens down here on this earth, God has given man dominion to control that. The power and life and death is in your tongue, so forth. So I believe that those that had crossed the boundary, we know that they are bound, they are bound in darkness.

The ones that committed the original watchers are not here. They're bound. Probably going to be loosed. Bible alludes to that's what we're going to see in the tribulation period. But so how did it happen again? I believe that they didn't have the ability, there again, my opinion, to cross the dimensions on their own. But man had the right to invite them back into their lives. So I believe that the Tower of Babel, and I put forth the theory that the Tower of Babel was really the Ziggurat, had a, you know, it's flat at the top, basically was a temple.

Many believe that this was not just a place for them to go worship. It was almost like a landing pad for these fallen angels to come. They would be summoned and they would come and these temples were built to certain fallen angels. I believe the tower of Babel was destroyed for several reasons, was stopped for several reasons. One was pride. One was, you know, the Lord said, hey, if we don't stop them, nothing is impossible for them. So I started looking at it and I thought, is there any implication there that it was stopped not just because they were going to build a bigger tower, but because they were in the process of resetting this thing again.

And it wasn't long after the Tower of Babel was built. Even though they were scattered, we started seeing stories of giants again. Then we have the famous David Glyb. So what happened to those giants? When you study those giants, you see, you know, how about this? You wander in the wilderness for 40 years. And then you finally, all the people that wondered, all died, except two men, Joshua and Caleb were the only ones that went in.

and the children that were born in the wilderness. They were the ones that went in. So they've been told their whole life. They were born and raised in the wilderness. One day we're going to a land flowing milk and honey. That's all they could think about. Will they get there? There's Jordan River.

God splits the Jordan River. They walk across some dry land. Oh, yes. Then they get over there. Then there's a giant wall. And then they say, how are we going to get in the wall? And all of a sudden, they shout. And the walls come down.

They're like, yes, we're finally here. And God says, no. To the men, keep going. Don't stop. annihilate every single city I tell you to annihilate. And it's hard for people to read it because he says men, women, children, and even animals. He says, take them all out. And that's where people get messed up.

What kind of loving God would do that? Well, he was dealing with the remnants of the resurgence of number two. And so we know that there were giants. So there was three nations that they did not finish off. two of them ended up being taken care of one of them. You know, the one nation that survived that was not annihilated. Moabites? Gaza.

Gaza. Gaza is the only one that was that survived. That was never completely wiped out and never dealt with. The other two cities that are now resort cities, the one city that was never conquered that had giants in it, the Bible says that giants in was Gaza. And look at Gaza now. What does Hamas mean? Hamas is the Hebrew word.

that when Jesus, and the Greek word, when Jesus said, as in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man. When you go back to Genesis chapter six and you read about the flood, it says in those days their hearts were evil continually and violence filled the earth. If you get your strongest accordance out and look up the word violence, in the Hebrew, it's the word Hamas. So H-A-M-A-S. So Hamas means violence. Think about this too. In Hebrew. Hamas is the word violence.

I promise you fact-shake me. the word violence in Genesis chapter 6, which says in violence continued across the land, you look it up in Strongs, it's H-A-M-A-S, Hamas. So when the Hamas soldiers brought out the hostages, Google it. Go back and look at it. They brought them up on the stage to just show them off behind them. All you got to do is Google, Hamas, six-fingered fist. You've seen it?

The fist, six fingers. words, we are the flood. I mean, come on. So this is what we're talking about. So finally, the third insurgents, if the days of Noah is going to be the final generation, then we have to look at how these insurgents happen. I believe it's going to be a combination of a crossing over and an invitation.

But this, there again, this is in Larry's unauthorized version of the Bible. I believe they're not going to manifest by giants walking around like we saw in that day. They're not going to need to because they're still going to be able to accomplish probably even more than they accomplished in. They're going to do it through modern technology. They're going through AI, Project Blue Beam, and probably some actual manifestations of creatures through the rollout of the disclosure. All of the above. It's going to be such a great deception. They're going to realize the way we're going to win.

They think in their mind at the end because they're not going to win. but they think they're going to win over the hearts of the believers, is they're going to manifest themselves in so many different ways versus just in a little village that we've got to go knock out. So that's the three incursions that I talk about in the book. And I'm not saying I'm right. It's just a theory. But we do know that they're not going to be satisfied

with just deceiving people with witches or whatever. And the devil is not happy unless he takes somebody away from God. And that's what the great falling away is. He's already got the ones that he's got. He's coming after the believers. And that's why it's important for us to talk about this. The Giants in the Middle East, like we, you know, the classic story is the Giant of Kandahar. Yes.

There is, we just released a member episode where, are you familiar with Pastor Dave Brian? I am, not a lot, but I know you're talking about, yeah. Yeah, so he was here not too long ago. and that episode hasn't aired yet. And I don't think it's going to air before this one does. But he and I sat down for a member's episode. And that aired, I think, just last week. And I believe the way the story went was he was told by somebody that was either intelligence or was on the scene.

I can't remember exactly how it was. I'd ask Jack, but I'm sure he's probably not going to want to chime in right now because he's on his phone. Just calling him out as I see it. Just calling it out as I see. You never know what's going to happen in the confessional studio. But he was told that there were three giants there. They killed two and one got away. And it leads to the idea.

Like I think so many people when they hear this story that Cantahard Giant, they're like, oh, it's a one-off. Yeah. I mean, I talked to a guy named Ray who was adopted out of his Afghanistan family, he was raised American, reconnected with that side of the family as an adult and winds up meeting his grandmother in Afghanistan or his uncle, I think it was. And his uncle tells him how when they were kids growing up, their mom, so Ray's grandmother, would take a goat out into the mountains and sacrifice it to the giants. She would feed the giants goats as like almost like a peace offering. Years ago, I had a guy who listened to the show. I don't know if he still does, but he was in the military.

he would go out in Afghanistan while he was there just asking people around just different things about the area and when he would bring up giants. He said a lot of times people would either clam up or just act like they have no idea what he's talking about. And one guy told him that there was a very specific location in Afghanistan that shares the border with China, which is about a 30-mile stretch. It's a natural preserve. And he said there's giants up there. That's why nobody goes up there. So like in the Middle East, there's this legend of giants that are walking the the earth today. Sure. I still believe that. Yes, absolutely. And even here in the states, people talk about it. You know, Utah is wild with legends. Yes, yes. So my thought is,

if the rise of the Nephilim is coming, like, you're talking about the technology and all that, but I think the last point you made was actual giants. Absolutely. One percent. Like, I don't know if, how do I say this? Um, so I told, you when we were at lunch that I met a guy, I think I told you, that I met a guy at my house who was doing some work and the tattoos on his hand and his arm were very occultic looking. But I got the sense that he probably didn't even know what his own tattoos meant. And I think it has something to do with the principality that's in this area that people are just, it's just what they do.

And I don't think everybody is even aware of what they're doing when they put the markings on them and stuff. It's just something that maybe their brothers and sisters did it or whatever. I wonder if now this is Tony thinking out loud, not Larry. I want to say that. Nobody's putting words in your mouth.

But I do wonder if these giants actually are out there roaming around right now if there's something that they're operating by that they don't even understand why they're being hidden, why they're living secluded,

But at some point on a spiritual plane and level, something's going to unlock in them and they will just come out. Yes. You know what I'm saying? I absolutely believe that. And I believe when I call it the final flood, I mean, when I, earlier in the program, I said everything the enemy's got, everything that God's got. So I absolutely firmly believe that the spirit of Nephilim, the fallen angels, whatever you want to call it, is going to manifest in beings, creatures. but that's what it was limited to before. I believe they are absolute giants of alive today,

that they are all over the world. And we could do a whole show on that, and you have people in there that's a lot more smarter on that than me. I do believe the giants of Kandahar. I believe there are giants in every continent of this earth. Have they survived all this time? Did they survive because there was not a flood that was global? The global flood wiped them all out.

but there was not a global flood at the second incursion. So there are theories that many of them survived, the attacks, the centralized locations that they were in the Middle East that we, at least we heard about in Scripture. That doesn't mean they were limited to that, but that's the stories that we have in the Bible that were limited to that. But many people believe that some of them escaped, went to other continents,

they've been in hiding ever since. But I love what you just said, because I believe that they are going to be unlocked. I believe that when it's, when all of this winds down, we're going to see it all. We're going to see real giants. We're going to see fake giants. We're going to see AI giants. We're going to see digital giants. We're going to see robots that have skin upon them. Listen, Terminator, the movie, is absolutely a documentary on some levels. You're going to see beings like that very soon, not long from now, that are going to be hard to distinguish between real and not real.

well, why are we going to limit them to the size of a standard-sized man? If you're going to make them a super soldier, you're going to make them a giant. So you're probably going to see entire armies of giants, some of them mechanical, some of them, and we know that, yeah, the enemy can, demons can operate on materialistic things outside of just human. It can make things float, can make things operate, can it very least influence the programmers and so forth. I believe they're going to find every way that they can find to reveal themselves. But yes, I do believe that we're seeing things. People are seeing things.

You know, you factor in aliens. We hadn't even talked about aliens. Water aliens. I don't know what aliens are other than I know that in my heart. I know they're not from another planet. I stand firm on that. There's a whole another world out there that believes a little bit different, even within the church. I tend to look at everything from a biblical perspective.

If I can explain it biblically, I'm going to explain it biblically. I don't need another way. One of the laws that I go by is this. If the literal sense makes sense, any other sense is nonsense. If the literal sense makes sense, any other sense is nonsense. Well, if you're a Bible believer, Paul said we wrestle not against flesh and blood. He tells us the four stages that we wrestle against. And, of course, ultimately we wrestle against Lucifer.

So if I can look at something that's a being, whether it's an alien, whether it is some type of nephalum, whether it be some type of, some type of AI that seems to be alive that has a soul of itself, even though we know it doesn't. I believe that in the spirit world, that's who we're fighting, the spirit world. And the spirit world is going to use everything it can to deceive us. What is its ultimate goal? Its ultimate goal is to take us away from the spirit of God. It's all a fake. Everything the enemy does is a fake. Everything is a pathetic imitation of what God does. So I believe that we're going to see an insurgents of, I believe we are going to see some giants that are going to be revealed.

And if I could just go ahead and go there, I don't know if I was going to go there. I'm going to say it. Confessionals, just pull us out of me, okay? Clip this. Come on, clip this. I believe that we're too focused on aliens and UFOs under the term disclosure. Disclosure just simply means unveiling. I believe that we may see the government try to use disclosure and aliens and UFOs to distract us from the true disclosure that's coming,

and that is God opening the eyes to the body of Christ, the true body to see the spirit realm, which these giants that you're talking about that's sort of been in hiding, I would not be surprised if all of a sudden we see people sharing viral videos, clear images, not blurry images, but clear images of Bigfoot, of dogman, of monsters, of hideous things that we only ever saw blurry pictures of, all of a sudden they're clear, so clear that people be like, that's got to be AI. That's got to be, that can't even be real. And then all of a sudden one walks into a neighborhood and starts ravaging the neighborhood. But we're all worried about did they come from other planets?

but the enemy is going to know, hey, this is my last shot. I've held these beings back. I've been in hiding because I didn't want to be exposed, but I got one last generation. Why in the world would you preserve a giant in the mountain of Kandahar, Afghanistan, just to have a giant in a cave up there? He's just my pet. He's just, you know, it's just a great story.

No, listen, the devil, I hate him. I hate his guts, but he is very cunning and very sinister. And let me tell you something about the devil. Here's where the church messes up about the devil. We're all just like this. We want everything done like this. The devil is long game. The devil plays the long game.

So in my opinion, he's holding some of these things in these caves for such a time as this. And when the great disclosure comes, this is going to be so chaotic. Y'all, and I'm not trying to scare by the death because to the believer, we know this is coming. Jesus said to the disciples, listen, you don't get it. In fact, I'm telling you, how awesome is this? He's like, I'm telling you, I'm answering your question, but I am really not answering it for you. Let that sink in. I'm answering, you ask the question right here in front of me, friend to friend, you ask me.

And my answer is for you so that you can write it down, but it's not for you. The answer that I'm going to give you to your question is for a generation that's going to exist thousands of years later. But I need you to hear me. How awesome is God that when he was speaking that as an answer to an actual question, he was thinking about us. He was thinking about Daniel. Daniel's just righting away, man. He's just like, man, the Antichrist, all this stuff. He sees all these kind of things.

He's just, he sees them. And it's almost like he's there and he's riding. And all of a sudden he's getting ready. I can't wait for people to read this book. It's going to be amazing. When I start telling them all these things that I'm seeing about this last day. Wait until I get the poster now. Man, look, what is this?

There's some crazy red-haired looking giant coming out of a cave, man. I mean, he's right, all this kind of stuff. And all of a sudden, God says, no, it's not for you. It's not for your family. It's not for anybody you know. You got to take. Think about it. Yeah, that's what he said.

It's like, man, this is going to be huge on Amazon. But he's like, but God says, no. Think about that. Man, I get emotional. I think about it. I've thought about so many time. Daniel is like, I've got to take this to my grave. I've seen things that no human being has ever seen.

And God says, I needed you to write it. I needed you to record it. Not even really an actual physical document, recorded in the spirit realm. Now, I want you to seal it, seal it until the days that knowledge shall increase and men shall run to and fro. meaning what you saw, what you wrote about is for a people, but not for you, for the final generation.

And I've put blinders on generation after generation after generation. They've read the Bible from cover to cover, but there are things in here that I have purposely not allowed them to even see was in there until the final generation, because it would make no sense to them. It would not even serve any purpose for them to even know it. But there'll be a generation that know a generation that is flooded by evil like nobody's ever seen, but flooded by glory and purpose and determination. And he says, I'm going to unlock something.

Scales are going to fall from their eyes. They're going to see what Daniel saw. They're going to know what Jesus meant when he said if it were possible to see the very leg. But there's going to be a small, I mean, I hate to say it, but remnant means small. It's what it means. It's going to be a small group, but it's going to be a powerful group. And they're going to rise up in this last day, Tony. I'm telling you, man, you're driving that truck and you're listening to that podcast about Bigfoot, your favorite guy.

Sasquatch Chronicle. Sasquatch Chronicles, man, just driving a truck. God said, that's who I need. Those are the kind that I need. The ones that feel unqualified, the ones that feel like, I'm not that. I'm not called to that. I'm not a preacher. I'm just,

I'm just a truck driver that likes a podcast. And God said, no, no. Now what you don't see is what I see. The enemy thinks he plays the long game. He plays the long game based on limited knowledge. I am the long game. I feel God right there. Listen, he don't play the long game.

He is the long game. My God, listen, I'm going to tell you something. My God does not even exist. Did you know my God doesn't exist? My God is existing. See, when you start thinking about that, he's not alpha and going to be Omega. He is alpha and omega. He's not the one that was and is and is going to be.

He told John, I am the one that was and is and is to be. I am the one that was dead and I am alive forevermore. He is telling us, man, there ain't nothing that's happened or nothing that's coming that takes me by shock and surprise. I have seen it all. And if you look at the Word of God and you'll allow me to open your eyes, I'll show you that I showed you in Scripture. But I've had some things hidden to that final generation. And I believe that's us.

Woo, I'm about to run up in this place. I feel the Holy Ghost, man. Stay seated. I need you behind the mic. Just hang tight. Look out. You crazy, man. So you're talking about like the complexities here of this final generation.

Would you call this the Jared generation then? No, no, no. No, we are the NOAA generation. Okay. So we can go there. We certainly can. Okay. But the complexity of like what you just said, I mean, I don't think any finite being can wrap their mind around what it feels like to be the alpha and omega.

No. You know, existing outside of time. It's a very complex thing. Absolutely. And so when there's an army, a war going on and there's an army going against that very being that is the complex. being the warfare going against it has to be complex as well um i'm wondering your thoughts on the idea that we have the invitation idea of how they came back the second time the second time yes um but are there i feel i feel like i'm having a hard time first of i'm having a hard time first of i'm

I'm remembering what I'm going to say, though. I feel like there's this merger of different sources and angles being played all at one time that's creating this complex war game. And you brought up the idea of like Dogman and Bigfoot, Nephlam. I feel like there is a human element to this where there are people who are creating such things through gene splicing, however you want to say, they're creating these things that already do exist, but they're lab engineering them. Do you think, one, is that a possibility? If it's no, then just get out. But, like, do you think that, because in my mind, the idea of

using man as the tool against God is one of the most devious things, because that's the very thing that is the whole war is over. Yes. How many, how prevalent do you think man is when it comes to warring against God for the Prince of Darkness? Well, I think it's extremely prevalent. And in fact, I don't even think it's possible for the devil to even have a war against God without man because they're illegal here.

The devil is an illegal alien. Every, in fact, every fallen angel that tries to operate here, it actually doesn't. doesn't have a right to operate here. That right was given to man in Genesis 1,26. Listen, when you get really deep on it, that's why Jesus had to come the way he came. He had to come in the womb of a woman. Okay. And he says, you know, the other guy, he came illegally. He's here illegally. I came the legal way that I set it up. So even though he's God, he became one of us so that he could operate here among us and win the war among us. shed his blood for us, go to the cross for us. He said, it is finished. Y'all, what meaning that

33 and a half years of his life was finished? Or that three and a half years of his ministry was finished? No, there is a seed coming of the woman and your seed will bruise his head, serpent, and the woman's seed will crush your head. It is finished. That's what was finished. That was the seed war. That was the identity war. It's always been about the seed war. It's always been about the identity. First, it was the seed war to try to stop the seed, taint the seed, to the whole Genesis 6 narrative to stop the Messiah from coming from a perfect seed. We know he won that. But now, this is really the continuing battle of the Garden of Eden, which is the identity war. Who is your creator? Who gets to define who you are? So the enemy knows that he cannot promote the narrative that our

creator come from another planet, an alien that's going to come out and say, look, we've been behind the scenes. We were here before you. We've been working behind the scenes all alone, trying to keep you guys from killing each other. This is my prediction what eventually is going to come out. Whether the government says this or somebody else feels released to finally say this, once the government gives them permission to say it. It's not just going to be this narrative that we've always talked about is that, you know,

that they're going to profess to be our creator. I believe it's going to be, okay, not only do we create you and seed you here, but we have been your, listen to the words, I think they'll probably use to some extent, your watchers. We have been watching you from a distance. So we realized that we had created something

that would quickly turn on themselves and kill each other off. And we wanted to make sure that you guys survive because we've got plans for you and we've been using you. So we created religion. We created the Muslim faith. We created the Buddhist faith. We created Krishna.

And we created Jesus Christ. We created all of them. We wrote all your Bibles. And we, because we knew the whole world would not agree with one religion. So we created a bunch of religions. And we gave you all these religions so that you could all have something, a God to believe in, so that you wouldn't turn on each other. And you'd have a purpose.

And you'd never know about it. us. And our, really, our goal was, is to just sort of stay out of the way and manage things from behind. But you guys have got out of control. Now you're going to war. Now you got nuclear weapons. Now you got, you got weapons. Yeah, we helped you out with them. Okay, whatever. You reversed engineered some of our stuff. But now you promised us you wouldn't do this. And now you're doing what you said you wouldn't do. And if we don't step in, you're going to annihilate yourself completely. So we've got the answer. We have. the ability to turn off your weapons, just like that. And many people have said they could do that

already. Whatever these beings are, they come over the nuclear plants, turn them off, turn off the weapons, you know, or start the weapons, whatever they want to do. So they're going to show the world, and it's a false narrative, that we have always controlled you, and we can control you now. So what is the ultimate goal of that? It is to make man feel subservient to, to, you, to, this force. That's always what it's been. The devil knows that he cannot defeat God. So if he can defeat man, by proxy in his mind, he feels like that he's defeating God because we were created his image. So when he looks at us, he sees God. He sees the image of God. So he understands, I can't do what I want to do without them. So I've got to convince them that I'm the answer.

In fact, going back to Daniel, Tony, when he says, many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall increase, if you do a deep dive on those words, many shall run to and fro, you'll find that that implies they will be running around searching for answers. That's literally what it says. It implies that there will be chaos, people saying, what is the answer? What is the answer? I need an answer. I need an answer. And knowledge is going to increase in that time. and they're going to give a false narrative and a false answer.

But I don't think they can do it without humanity because the devil knows that, and that's his reward. He wants to take us down. The one thing that would make him happy in anything is to defeat God, but that ain't going to happen. So he's going to take the second alternative, which is us. But there will be a remnant that he will not get.

Plan on being part of that. Yes. So, yeah, we brought up the, well, let me just tell you this, actually, because I know it's a dream, but I think it was more than a dream that happened at the house. And I talked about this a few weeks back, I think on a live, but whatever, I'll say it again. This whole idea of invitation, I think that there's this legalism with it, right? So the idea that man invited the Nephilim second time around, right? Second?

Yeah, second. Yeah. Let me say it, theory. Theory. Theory. Don't know that for sure. Theory. But it just kind of, my son had this, like, this dream that kind of hit hard a few weeks back.

It came the night that I changed our prayers. So I changed how we do our prayers. Because before I was praying, you know, I don't need to. too, but I just do it at a habit. I don't feel like I need to every night re-invite the Holy Spirit to dwell my house. Spirit to dwell my house. But I do it just out of repetition, welcoming the Holy Spirit. And I always ask that he would commission his warring holy angels to border our property to protect us while we sleep from anything that could possibly harm us. And I usually say something like referring to it being physical, you know, anything physically that could come and hurt us.

And I forget the catalyst for the change. I think it was Joseph and Franco, who has done a lot of work with the autistic kids. And their revelations that they bring back after their interactions with Jesus and the spirit realm. there was a lot of confirmations I had already assumed and I was like you know what I need to be a little bit more direct on some things and the one night I decided I was going to start during the prayers say everything the same but I was going to also ask the Lord to commission his holy angels to come into my house to protect us inside the house and the night I did that my son had a dream. And in his dream, he, well, first of all, let me say this. That night,

I found myself wide awake. I think it was like midnight. And I just couldn't fall back to sleep. And I didn't go back to sleep until about 5 o'clock in the morning. And I'm just sitting in the living room. I was doing some reading and just kind of like existing. And at one point, I was laying on the couch and I thought I saw a dark, very short, very short. dark shadow go from the the doors off my kitchen i go out on the deck uh going towards the kids rooms and then a few moments later i saw out of the corner my eye just this like really bright white burst of light and it was much taller it was bigger and it right at the same area and i was like huh so i prayed about i mean i i i don't really don't get wigged out of that stuff like i'm just like

whatever like we pray about it if it's evil get out of here if it's if it's if it's all holy, show yourself, you know? Give me the message and get gone. I'm trying to go to sleep. But I just handled a very, matter of fact, is what I guess I'm trying to say. So the next morning, wake up, my son comes out and we're talking and he said they had a bad dream the night before. Or he said he had a dream. And he said he was walking up from the chicken coop after getting the eggs.

and on the other side of the fence from our yard, he said the fence was a white fence, and in reality the fence is a barbed wire fence that used to house cattle on the other side. And he said there was kids on the other side of the fence, and two of the kids he recognized from school, and they were yelling over to him for help because I think he said,

I have notes somewhere. I wrote it down. Somebody was killing. them or eating them or something like that. And they're holding bones, he said. And so he, because they're familiar, he said, quick, come with me. And so they come and he takes them up the stairs, uh, and onto the deck and into the house and he takes him into his bedroom. And he said, when they got in the bedroom, uh, they, the, he said, the dream started changing and I realized it was turning to a bad dream. So I woke up. And, and, he said, he said, the dream started changing. And,

And I really feel like what happened is that prayer that I prayed the night before, like, literally kicked out things of my house. The angels came and they cleaned house. And invitation, they needed to be invited back. And so I think that's what happened with my son, unwittingly, invited them back into the house. And I feel like I saw. saw something that night. And I feel like what I saw was this interaction manifesting where my son brought something into the house in his dream. And this is me just projecting. But I want to believe that that white light that I saw flash was a manifestation of one of those angels that we

commissioned in the house, kicking you back out. You don't have a right to be here. But it's that idea of the invitation and these entities, they are legalists, and they do need the invitation. But if man, if man invites. Well, let's go further. And this is going to sound really sketchy to some people what I'm about saying. It's made, hold out. It's not sacrilegious, but it's going to sound sacrilegious. So does the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit can't operate without invitation. You're right. So you think about it. He's the breath of God. It's part of the Godhead. He's God. but because of the universal authority and dominion that God gave man here on this earth, demons have to be invited in, either verbally through things, rituals that we do,

sometimes even inanimate objects that we have in a room, Ouija board, whatever. These are all invitations. But Jesus said himself, hey, I'm the way the truth in the life. No man gets to the Father but by me. but no man is saved unless he's drawn by the Spirit. Okay. Well, then the Holy Spirit's drawing you to him, but he don't force himself inside of you.

He comes by way of repentance. And when you repent of your sins and you confess him as God and you believe in him, what do we say? I invite you into my life, God. Yeah. Okay. He's all powerful. I mean, you would think that he could just look at you and say,

well, you know what? I'm coming in you, man. I'm coming in you. I like you. I'm comfy. You look comfy. I like you, man. You're a cool dude.

You got a great podcast. I'd like to be influentially you. So I'm going to take over you and come inside you and make you be my servant. No, that's not the way it works. It's all invitation. It's invitation. God says, look, that ain't the way it works up where I'm at in the third heaven. Okay.

There's different rules up here. It's different rules in the cosmos. But here on this earth, it's, you know, and I don't want to be dogmatic and say that there's, there's not an exception. I mean, I'm not an expert here. There may be exceptions into things, but you think about it. Even when the demons came out of the man at gatherings, the demons had to ask permission.

Can you slow us in the pigs? In other words, they didn't have a right to even go in the pigs. They wanted a body to go into, but they knew one or two things got to happen, either an invitation, and basically you really want to get technical about it, Jesus gave them the invitation and permission, if you want to use that word instead to go into them.

They needed that. I mean, they were power. There were thousands of them. We are legion. There's thousands of tormenting this man. And all of a sudden they, okay, we know we're coming out, all right? But can we ask permission of where we're going to go? So it gets deep into that.

So that's where I think God led me down the invitation theory of the second incursion. Now, you want to go into the third? incursion? Yeah. Okay. All right. So this is why I call it the final flood. It's because everything the devil has.

And I don't mean in one year. Remember, he plays the long game. So he sees the end coming long before we see it coming. And I'll tell you something right now. The devil knows the Bible better than all of us put together. He knows how to twist it. He is a, if there's even a term, he's a demonic theologian. I mean, he knows how to use the word against them.

Remember what he told Eve? He said, Now, what did God say? And she said what she said. And then he goes, yeah, no, but let me tell you as a spiritual being that's been around longer than you, what he really meant. Okay. I know he said that, not disputing that he said that, but he didn't explain himself. Let me explain what he meant.

And then she bowed into it. So when I look at that, and I understand that he plays the long game and he sees the incoming, I started looking at some of the books like the Book of Beinock and some others and studying them and just sort of looking at their narrative of the watchers. And so it says that the watchers crossed over the famous Genesis 6 story that tells us what happened during the days of Jared. Okay. So you've got 10 generations from Adam to Noah. All right. And I think five generations back, if I'm doing my math correctly, is,

Jared. So if you look at the death of Jared, at the end of Jared's generation, then you skip four generations past that. That gets us to know it. Okay. So it's like, depending on how you look at the generation, alive or dead, end or beginning, somewhere right in the middle of that was Jared. It is believed that the watchers came across in the Jared generation. So there again, this is all theory. This is all just hypothesis on my part when I was writing the book. And I was like, okay, God, everything you say, you are so intentional when you say it. I mean, it wasn't just that he was saying, studied the days of Noah so you'll understand the conditions of the world.

That would have been enough for me. But I got to thinking, well, if you study the days of Noah and you understand how that went down and you believe, of which I do believe, that we are a top and shadow of Noah, that we are the generation of Noah's, the remnant, then what would be? are equivalent of the Jared generation. Started doing some calculating and all this. And I am in no means because some of y'all are a great mathematician. Some of y'all are going to blow up the comment section.

He's wrong, blah, blah, blah. But I'm close. Okay, I'm close. Depending on what you call a generation, some say 40 years, some say even 80 years. You can find people saying a generation anywhere between, some even say a generation's 100 years, depending on when you name that generation. Because you remember the days of Jared and all of them, they live in hundreds of years. It wasn't just live in 120.

That was what started, that was sort of the norm after the flood. Before the flood, I mean, even Adam lived to be 900, you know, and then you got Methuselah, which was, you know, the grandfather of Noah. 9669 years old. So depending on what, which math you use, Old Testament, pre-flood, post-fud, generations, let's just be conservative and say in the world in which we live in, a generation is anywhere between 40 to 80 years. So somewhere in there is a generation. So if, air quotes, if we are the Noah generation, let's go back in time for humanity, the current generation, and calculate what would be the equivalent of in our generation definition of the generation of Jared. So I was shocked to find that it lands somewhere around the late 1800s, early 1900s.

sometime between 1870 to 1890 to 1920, somewhere in there. So when I began to look at that, I began to think, huh, something very interesting happened during that time called the Industrial Revolution. So you think about what the Book of Enok tells us happened when they had that incursion. They brought knowledge. They brought knowledge that man could not achieve on their own. and then they were able to do things that were humanly impossible before. You look at history of humanity for thousands of years, certainly over a thousand years,

1,500 years, horse and buggy, horse and buggy, chariot. You know, you've got stones. You're making things, you're trying to carve out things. Supposedly, we carved out these gigantic huge structures by just this little piece of wood. The math doesn't math. It doesn't math, y'all. It's like you start looking at this world. and see these giant modelistic things

and the narrative that they tell us how we made the pyramids and all of this. It just doesn't make sense. We all know that. So I started looking at it. I started thinking about Nikola Tesla. I started thinking about Alexander Crowley. All of these came on the scene.

So you have an instant insurgents of physical technology knowledge that man had never seen. We went from over 1,500 years riding a horse are walking to, in a matter of just decades, we have electricity, we have, we have telephones, we have cars. And then just in a few decades later, we are supposedly, air quotes again, going to the moon. We have satellites. We have airplanes. We've never flown. We've only looked at birds and thought that's impossible. Now we're flying. Now we got cars. Now we can travel.

Then you fast forward and here we are with AI. All of that. That came since the turn of the century of 1900 in the Industrial Revolution. So then I started studying the famous Nikola Tesla and some others like him. You know what I started finding? They started saying that many of their inventions, they did not invent. They started getting downloads. You know where I'm going. Yeah, I was just looking it up.

So they start getting downloads out of nowhere. And the next thing you know, you've got free energy being created. You've got the super energy weapons that he's making and all of this out of, then on the spiritual side, you have Thelima. You have all these other demonic worlds, these people, like Crowley's sitting in the pyramids and getting downloads from entities inside the pyramids. All these kind of, so you got the spiritual surge of demonic sources that eventually evolved into what we would call Satanism, all these things that we have now, rise of witchcraft,

paranormal supernatural power, inventions that change the world out of nowhere. And then when I looked at the timeline and I was thinking, man, that happened in the equivalent of our Jerry generation are very similar, very close to that, which would be calculated to that if we are the Noah generation. So when I looked at that, I became even more sure. I bet the God's a God of patterns. And when you look at that pattern and you see that if this is the final generation, you look at that maybe the Industrial Revolution was our Jared generation,

and you calculate it, that means either one of two things. Either my generation is the Noah generation, my children, or my grandchildren is. The Noah generation, wherever how you calculate it, has to be alive today. So when Jesus said, as in the days of Noah, so shall the day of the coming of the Son of man be, if the Industrial Revolution was our Jared generation that proves that the Noah generation is alive today, that's why I feel the sense of urgency on me to write the book and to talk about what I'm talking about.

And by the way, I don't just talk about it on my podcast. I preach about it in my pulpit. And I've come under fire for that. But I have told our church, look, I know this ain't for everybody. But I'm going to stand before God one day. And if I am a part of the final generation, then one of the scriptures that's in the Old Testament says

if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn't blow the trumpet and warn the people, the blood of the people will be on the hands of the watchman. That's exactly how I feel. That's exactly how I feel. And it's, I think we all have our own blueprints and roadmaps on how we got to where we're at, you know. and I feel like parts of me feels like God's been trying to get me to

wake up for a long time but I'm at a point in my life where you know the situations that I've gone through over the last year it kind of puts different things in perspective for you and I'm just like you know and I don't say this braggadocious at all but I do feel like

I'm a watchman. Yes. I mean, I've been put on this end of the table for a reason. And I've talked, like you said earlier, I've talked to so many people and I've come to understand things the way I do through these conversations. And I'm just like, I don't think I can stay quiet about this. You know, like, like this gut feeling you have inside. And then you come and you're like, uh, maybe it's just, you know, maybe it's my imagination

or maybe you're overthinking it. You're blowing out of proportion. And all that stuff rested to your head. And then when you come back to it, you're just like, no, I don't think I can go as business as usual. And that's, I mean, I know people who have been around a long time listening to the show. I've heard the change in the show. That's the root.

I mean, there's a lot of things that went into that. But that's the root cause of why the show has shifted the way it has, because I just, I can't stomach the idea of standing before God one day. And he was like, bro. I gave you that table for a reason. Absolutely. And you just coward. You know, and you just sat there and said nothing.

And we gave you all the information. You had it all sitting there and you just were too scared to say something. And so it's not me anymore, that's for sure. I just feel a deep sense of urgency like you do to sound the alarm. I said something similar to the same. similar effect, beginning this year on that live show, I said, I feel like I'm a watchman on a wall looking across the battlefield and I see something coming and I don't know what it is, but I can see something coming. And I'm telling you right now, something's coming. I don't know what it is.

When I know what it is, I'll tell you, but right now, all I can tell you is something's coming, get ready. Yeah. That's where I'm at right now. That's how I feel. Well, God's, and as things progress, watchmen will be able to see things more clearly. Right now, I feel like we're at the phase of blow the trumpet. Just blow the trumpet. Just alarm the people. We don't understand it. Me and you are not experts by no means.

We're not trying to tell you that everything that we're saying is going to happen exactly the way we're saying. But we know some of it's going to. Some of what we've talked about may not all lay out like we were talking about. But I'm going to tell you, some of it is going to happen like what we've talked about. And so when it gets there, when this starts, happening, at least the people that listened with an open mind will not be shocked about it. They'll remember, okay, I was warned about this. This is how I'm supposed to respond to it. But right now, just like you said, I love that. It's, I feel the same way. It's just like,

people's like, well, tell me what it is. Tell me what it is. I don't know. I just in my gut. It's not hype. It's not trying to be super conspiratorial. It's just, I can see it with my spirit man. And all I can do is just warn people that is coming. What is today? Tuesday. So on Sunday, I had read an article about disclosure and I could see the nefarious nature behind the article and the way things were being framed. But like, let me phrase that. I couldn't see.

I felt it. I'm like, you're playing these games and I can see you're playing these games. I can feel it. But I can't map out exactly what you're doing right now. Like, I'm just trying to fit, like, I'm just missing something here that's going to put it all together. Because I, the way you're saying things, I know you're saying it for that reason. Yep. And it doesn't feel good.

But I'm just not connecting the dots right now. And I spent hours, like playing mind games with myself, trying to like word, word play this and figure it out. And I'm still at the drawing board. Yes. But it's that kind of feeling. It's like, it's like, listen, I can't define what. what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. I'm just telling you there is absolutely something coming and you got to start getting ready.

Well, how do we get ready? Just be alert. Yes. That's all I can tell you right now. Just be alert. Be ready for the next trumpet blow. Come on. You know, like it's just I when I know you'll know, you know.

Yes, yes. And if you know, tell me, you know, because I'm not saying I'm all knowing. But it's just there's there's something on the horizon. And like I said earlier in the show, I'm not a day sitter, you're not a day sitter. The reason why I asked you about 2030, I'm glad you kind of took debate and ran with it because there's a reason why I said 2030. But the reality is we don't know. But I want to say this, when you finish that thought, they know. They know they got something planned for 2030.

Oh, yeah, yeah. They know. Man does. Yeah. Because I was, look, they know they got something big plan for 2030. Yes. Are we going to be ready for it? Sorry. Well, I think, I think that, that, that, that, that, that plan is, uh, for their own desires and

edification. And there is a demonic, uh, dark spiritual element that motors that. Um, but we, we could be looking at 2050 one day. Absolutely. And my messaging is going to be the same. Yes. Soon. One hundred percent. Soon. Very, very soon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You've been saying that for years. I know, but so is no. You know. Right. He was building for a really long time. I'm just telling you, it's coming. And that's just where I'm at. And for me, the messaging is simple. There's something coming, and we're all susceptible to deception.

And our only hope is to stay locked in on Christ. And so, like, literally, maybe I'll find a better way to describing this. But a few weeks ago, my pastor just used this analogy in a sermon And I was like, oh, that's perfect. I'm going to start using it. I steal everybody's ideas. Wow. You know, like...

I don't say that. I'm just kidding. Because, I mean, I promise you, this Nephilim, I'm telling you, it's my original idea. Moving forward after today. It's my idea. I thought of it all. But, no, he was talking about, like, the great deception coming and things. And he was talking about how Peter, when he got out of the boat, and he was walking on water,

his eyes were locked under the Lord. And I just got this imagery. As we move forward in time, We're in the middle of a cosmic war, a cosmic storm, and there's going to be waves crashing all around us, and our eyesight, locked in on Jesus is going to be difficult at times. But if your methodology is not locking in on Christ, you literally have no hope, and you will be sinking. Wow. You know? That is so good.

You'll be looking up from within the water hoping there's a hand coming down to pull you out. You know what I'm saying? Like, don't lose sight is what I'm trying to say, you know? and it's easy to get caught up in life and the ins and outs. And I'm not saying to skirt responsibility and become a deadby parent and all that and just be like, all I'm going to do is read my Bible. Kids get your own dinner. I'm worried about me today. You know, like take yourself to soccer practice.

I'm not worried about it, you know. But I think that in our everyday living, there's this idea of everyday process. There was an old Christian hip hop group back in the day that I, I was friends with, and their group was called Everyday Process. But it's that idea. Like, this walk is an everyday process. You're going to have ups and you're going to have downs. But if you can be humble and truly know that your heart is chasing after Christ,

that's the only anchor point that you can possibly have to survive what's coming. Like, it's literally that dire. Absolutely. There is, we can't even, like we said earlier, imagine what is going to be coming. That's how dire it's going to be. You only have one thing you can do in that moment. I was thinking when you were saying about, when we were talking about, you know, we don't know what's coming. We just know something's coming.

Yeah. And you said something about Noah and it made me just think about something. You know, we keep going back to the days of Noah. Think about what Noah did. He built this boat on an idea, on a download from God that something was coming that had never happened before. I mean, let's think it. It had never rained before. The Bible says the rain had never fell from heaven.

Only a mist came up from the earth. But yet, he says, hey, there's something coming, and it's called rain, and it's going to come out of the heavens, and it's going to be drops of water, and it's going to hit on our face, and then it's going to fill up this whole earth, and the fountains of the deep are going to open up. The windows of heaven are going to open up, and I'm building a boat that's going to preserve us, from this thing that's coming called rain. Well, what is rain? Tell us Noah.

You say it's coming. What is rain? Well, you know what? Be honest with you? I don't know. I just know it's coming. I can feel it in my spirit. I can see it with my spirit.

It's coming. The Lord said it's coming. And I'm supposed to prepare you for it. But I've never seen it. I've never felt it. I can't define it. I just know it's coming. So that's where we're at right now.

That's what we're talking about. We're talking about something coming that we can't see. We've never felt. We can't fully describe, but we know God told us to warn people that it's coming. You know, I can't find it now, of course, but it's somewhere in Hebrews. I was just reading it the other day. The power of the Internet. Tell me.

Yeah. But basically, like, I wish I could read it. But the idea we're talking about Noah, and somewhere in Hebrews here, is talking about Noah as well. And it says how up to the point of Noah's time, the world had never seen such devastation. Yes. And then Jesus says, when I'm returning, the world had never seen anything as devastating before or after. Like, not as, but we'll. He was 11-7.

11-7? Yeah. So let me just crack on over. Come on. Break open the word of God, brother. Let's do some bread of life right now. Bread of life. Yes. Oh, I didn't highlight it.

That's why I was... Okay. It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God who warned him about things that had never happened before. So like up to the time of Noah, this had never happened before,

utter devastation, and it was just by faith, and then it's probably in Matthew 24, where, well, I'm sure it is actually, but like where Jesus is talking about this. And he says, in 24, verse 21, for there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began, and it will never be so again. Wow. Like, so, like, if you just take this framing of how bad we're paying this picture of what the days of Noah looked like. Yes.

And Jesus is saying, that's a cakewalk compared to what it's going to be. Yes. Yes. And it's like, that's why I keep saying on this recording, I can't even imagine. Yeah. Like when I read that, I sit, when I literally read that one verse, Matthew 24, verse 21, I will spend 30, 45, 60 minutes sitting there trying to imagine what that actually means. That's why I don't break through scripture so fast because I get so caught up on these little things because I'm just like, whoa.

Well, see, if you did know what it really meant, you'd have a podcast about it and you'd tell everybody what it really meant and then it's over. And so there are things that God purposely put blinders on us for, not blinders, I should say, the better word would be he begins to reveal things along his timeline. because if you if God tells you everything you need to know there's no faith element left and without faith it's impossible to please God. So it's like there has to be see we're in a generation right now that we want this podcast in a, I don't know how long we've been talking, but it don't matter. But the reality is this when it's all said and done, we want this podcast to tell us exactly what the days of Noah is. Tell me what the thing. Please just tell me what the thing. Yeah.

So what is it? What do I need to look for? You tell me that I see this, this, and this, then I'm going to know we're done. No, there comes a place where, first of all, you have to study to show yourself approved them to God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. So God says, if I tell you everything, if I let a podcast tell you everything, you're never going to read the Bible for yourself. You're never going to study the word.

So study, prepare yourself, equip yourself. That's your armor. But I just, man, it blows my mind how awesome God is. How he's standing there and he knows. Jesus knows what I'm about to say, what I'm about to answer this question, what is going to be the sign of my return. The second biggest thing that I've ever done for them in the history of them knowing me. One was that I came for them. I lived as one of them.

I died as one of them. I came back from the dead and walked among them. I showed themselves that I was, myself, that I was alive. look at this, look at the scars, all this stuff, I'm alive. That's the greatest thing he ever did for us. The second greatest thing he's ever going to do for us to come back and get us and usher in the next phase of his kingdom. He knows this is a loaded question. They think it's just, they're asking a question just so that they, because they think it's going to happen in their own lifetime.

Yeah. Think about it. They really was asking that going, hey, I know you're leaving, but we want to be able to know when you're coming back for us. they were literally asking for us, for themselves. Jesus standing there, he going, yeah, I'm about to answer this question. And I'm going to be a little vague in it in the sense that I'm not going to look you right in the eyes and say, now I'm not talking about you. I'm not even talking about your kids or your grandkids.

But I'm going to answer your question in the first person. But when I answer you, I'm going to answer you. I feel the Holy Spirit right now. I'm going to answer you as omel. Omega, I'm going to answer you as the one that's already seen the end. And I'm going to, in a split second, I'm going to think about all the people that you all are going to write about. All the stories that you've all passed down from generation to generation, that you are taught from as a child to emulate and know that story. I've got giants of stories, giants of people, not giants like what we're talking about, but big, huge, awesome people.

I got David. I got Elijah. I got Elisha. I got Moses. He can go all in his head. He goes, but I need one guy to describe that I'm going to include in my answer to your question, what will be the sign of the days that I will return? What will be the environment? What should we look for? Of all of them, I'm going to choose Noah. And I'm going to tell you, if you'll study Noah and you'll study the days and the conditions of the flood before him, you'll understand what to look for in the last days. Now, I'm also going to use another occasion. I'm going to use Lot. I'm going to use Lot. These are the two that he chose. They have a lot of similarities. And I have an entire chapter where I contrast why he chose Lot and Noah, because both of them are very similar in why he chose them.

But the big one that he chose. the big one that was the big answer to that question. What should we be looking for? It was go study Noah. Find out everything you can find about Noah. Don't just read at surface level. Go deep. Because think about it, it's crazy.

For him to reference Noah and how few verses in that entire Bible actually talk about Noah? It's insane. It's very small verse, very small amount of verses. But there's so much in there. So much in there before and after. And he knew exactly that they knew what. he was talking about. He knew it. He knew that the book of Enoch was widely known in his day.

He knew it. I mean, it almost implies that he read it because he alluded to it when he talked about angels. And then his half-brother Jude directly quoted it. And Peter, you know, the one that he called The Rock, the little pebble, you know, that confessed that he was the Messiah, talked about it as well. referenced it. So he knew. He knew that they didn't think he was talking about. Hey, when you study Noah, think about all those cute little animals that we learned about in children's church. Oh, and think about it, don't forget him, we made a big boat.

As in the days of Noah, look for big boats. As in the days of Noah, look for animals, look for, no, no, no, no, no. He wouldn't even talking about rain. Now, you could preach that. Pentecostal preachers can preach, you know, spirit-filled preachers can preach, you know, The rain's going to pour out like never before. The glory is going. Yeah, you can.

Former and lighter rain combined in one month. Book of Joel says that. No, no, he knew. That's why he didn't elaborate. I thought to myself one day when I was studying this from a book, I was like, this is so big, God. It speaks volumes to me that you did not elaborate other than just saying, as in the days before the flood, violence was in their heart.

The heart was evil continually, and they had normalized the world that they were living in. That's it. And he moves on. A few more verses that he references the condition of the heart of man. But I thought, you know what? He didn't need to elaborate because he knew the early church people that was listening to him, the ones that were asking those questions, he knew they knew what he was talking about. In over 2,000 years of church history, we have watered the Word of God down so much

that the story of Noah has now become some felt bored children's church cartooned. that we teach our kids and we should, and it's a cool story to teach our kids. And then we don't ever learn beyond that. I didn't. I was a pastor for years, Tony, that I preached about the rain. If I preached about Noah, I preached about the rain, the glory of God. I preached about having an arc of safety. The church is the ark.

All of these, I believe. But I didn't really get what he was saying. And that's what we're talking about right now. Yeah. No, I'm just sitting here. I have a really funny question to ask. Okay. All right.

You said you. I'm scared. Be afraid. Be very afraid. This is what happens when I get when I'm comfortable with my guests. I forget I'm recording a podcast and I'm about to say something smart. Here we go. So you said, how long have you been preaching?

35 years. 35 years. And you once would have preached about the rain, right? Yeah. How many original members of your church do you still have Cody or church now? They're like, past her,

five or six, maybe seven. He passes off his rocker. We're out. Yeah. Not many. Not many at all. But it ain't all because of that.

Other reasons as well. One other thing I want to say, Tony, that I want everybody listening to hear about to think about the story of Noah as well is one of the other chapters in the book is called, I think I called it,

and I'm having a brain fridge right now, I think I called it, the door is still open. And it hit me, too, when I started thinking about the art, he built this ark, this massive ship, which, by the way, one of the, the most significant vessel to ever be created in the history of the world, if you think about it, in the history of the world. No plane, no ship, nothing as important as that vessel.

He got the blueprints from God, okay? He didn't know how to build that. And why would you build a boat that big on dry land? Okay. So all of the things that he did with his hands, he got from instructions and downloads from God. So can you imagine he's got this blueprint? One of the things I cover too is I did a calculation, which blew my mind, how many trees it would take, how long it would take to fell the trees, how long it would take to strip the trees, how long it would take to make the trees into planks, and then put them there. We just automatically think he went down to the lumber store.

Yeah, the hardware store. He just went down there and just, you know, I need this amount of two but sixes and all. No, he had to cut the trees down. He had to bring the trees in. He had to prepare the trees to become planks. Then he had to have the pitch, which by the word, by the way, the word pitch that's used in the story is the same word that is used for atonement. It's exactly the same word. So it was sealed with atonement.

So the pitch that he used. that word, if you look up that word, I can't think of the actual Hebrew word now, but the first definition in the strong concorders of that word for pitch is the word atonement. So he literally chose a word and a substance to seal this ark with the atonement, the same thing that he would do later to seal the church.

The ark is the top and shadow of the church. So he's building this arc. He's seeing the dimensions, okay, this room's going to be, it's got to be this big because God says, I'm going to put elephants in this room, whatever. And he's getting all these down. loads. And then it hit me, I was like, this is just way Larry Raglan's mind works sometimes. It's scary, y'all. It's scary. But instead of thinking all these other things, my mind went

straight to that door. I get emotional when I think about it. And I think he looked at the blueprints. Every detail of that boat was given to him by God except one detail, how to shut the door and how to lock it. There was no lock on that door. It implies that there was no pulley on that door. It implies at the very least that God taught him, I want you to build a door. I would assume a ramp and I want you to let it lay down and that's how you and your family and all the animals are going to come on. But Lord, if there's going to be water and you've told me to seal with pitch to keep the water out, and the Bible says to seal it from within and out, he didn't just seal on the outside. He had to seal it with pitch on both sides to waterproof the whole thing. He said,

Yet there's no instruction on this door. Why? God said you'll find out. So when it came time for the flood to happen, God told Noah, get your family and go in the ark and stay till I, and let's just watch what I'm going to do. And it blows my mind that for seven days, the door laid open.

And Noah and his family were in the ark. They had worked all those over 100 years. building this boat. And now they're in the boat and they know it's imminent. I could see no one just screaming through the door. The door is still open. The door is still open. Come, there's room. Get in. The door is still open. And he's like, I don't know if the rain is coming. Somebody's got to shut the door. And at some point, the Bible says right around seven days, one of the most horrifying sounds that he's ever heard more horrifying, the sound of the hideous beast. and the mocking that he had hurt for over a hundred years was sound of a hinge creaking and he sees that door coming up on its own and he realizes

god is shutting this door and then i don't i wasn't supposed to seal this door only he can seal it and at some point that door slams shut and god seals it with his own atonement and the fountains of the deep old open up, and the windows of the heavens open up, and rain begins to fall. And there inside, and the boat is still propped up on the wood. And all of a sudden, he can start hearing. People still mocking him, but then they start saying, what is this? Is this what you were talking about? I'm sorry, you were right?

And then he starts hearing them banging and screeching and fingernails on the door. and there's nothing Noah can do because God has shut the door. At the end of the book, I say these words. Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't get anything out of this book, get this. The door is still open. But one day, this is what drives me,

one day, I can't shut it and you can't shut it, but God is going to shut that door. And I want to get as many on this boat as I can before that door shuts. And that's my driving force. And I think that's what, so many deep things in that story. We can't shut the door.

But we're, I think God has moved us in the ark. I think that's how close we are. I think we've been building something for 2,000 years called the Body of Christ. I think he's got a remnant that he said, okay, this is what we sense right now. This is what's driving you, Tony.

It's God saying, listen, things are coming. but I've got a shelter for you. I'm going to shelter you from a lot that's going to happen around you. You're still going to have to go through a lot. You're going to have to see a lot of things. But even in that place of security, don't get settled in your place of security. Scream, the door is still open. There's still time.

I believe there's some people watching this program right now that they don't think they need it. They just enjoy the topics, but they don't want to go all the way, all the way in. They don't want to do that church thing. That's not what we're talking about in this program. We've been talking about the supernatural realm, the winding down of this thing called the kingdom, the winding down of this thing called the plan of God. The door of the ark is still open.

We're the Noah's. You know, it's not that we feel like we're elite. We're the generation of Noah's. That was one man. We are one remnant. One man couldn't do this because this is not a physical thing. This is a spiritual thing. So people from every nation, you think about what's going on in Iran right now.

At the time of this right now, we're in full out war. Thousands and thousands of people have been killed by their own government in the streets. But what's not being reported, and I'm sure some of your guests have talked about this, and friends have probably told you that what's not being reported is the greatest revival this world has ever seen right now in this current world is happening in Iran. It's the fastest growing church in the world. because in the middle of this days of Noah chaos, this murderous spirit, this violent Hamas spirit that, as we've said on this program, is what Hamas means is violence, is rising up in the midst.

But there are people standing in the streets of Iran, knowing this could be death, and they're raising their hands and they're worshiping God. Jesus is coming to these Muslims. You've heard the stories in the middle of the night. He's coming to him in their dreams. He's sitting down in front of Shia Muslims and radical Muslims all around the world and saying, look at me. I am Yeshua.

I am Jesus. I am the son of the living God. I am the true God. I love you. And they're falling on their face and they're getting saved. It's like there's such an urgency in the spirit realm. It's almost like I can hear the creaking of the door. I can hear it.

That's how close we are. The good news is if it's not sealed, yet. You can climb on that thing and get in at the last minute. But until the door shuts, get in. Just get in. We're not saying get into organized religion. Get into the way we've westernized church. It makes me sick how we've done some of the things to God. But there is a true remnant that truly believes in God. And that's what we're talking about today. We feel this watchman anointing on us, not just because we feel like we're elite, but because we feel a mandate. The door. is shutting, Tony, it is shutting.

In my spirit, man, I can hear it creaking. Is it 20-30? Do we make it to 2050? I don't know. Our ways are not his ways. Our timeline is not his timeline. But I feel, I just, do you feel it? Do you feel it?

The door is shutting. But the good news is, the door is not shut. The door is shutting. It's not shut. And that's why we do what we do. Well, to end this conversation, the best way to do it would be for you to let people know as a pastor, how do they get in the boat? So, you know, you're talking about the door shutting. There's a lot of people out there that don't have

understanding of maybe the Christian faith, what it is. They're intrigued by the conversation. They like giants, you know? And it's like, okay, so now I have a sense of urgency, but I don't know how or what to do at this point. Like, what does that mean? Do I just believe in God. And I'll hand it off you in a second, but I will just say, no, it's not just believing in God. It's about Jesus Christ and who you say he is. That's one of the biggest misconceptions people have is that, oh, I believe in God. That's not enough. That's not enough. And so if you could just let people know, and I'll tell people, because after whatever you say, we're going to end the show at that point. But I will tell people, whatever you do say, they can also visit

the Confessionalspodcast.com slash gospel. And we do have a gospel message there that they can read through as well. But if you could just wind us down here. Absolutely. Well, the Bible says even the demons believe and tremble. So as you just said, I want to confirm what you just said. Yeah, it's not enough just to believe. How many times have we came back to these words in this podcast? Invitation. Invitation. He's given the invitation to us, but we have to invite him in. And I think where we've messed up in the church is we and I've been guilty of myself because I was raised in the traditional church. I as a young pastor, I watched and emulated this being done and not to say that people can't get saved doing this if they do it the right way, but I've been raised, repeat after me.

Father, Father, God, God, forgive me, forgive me, of my sins, of my sins. And if you mean it from the depths of your spirit, yes, but I think many times we've just felt emotional and we've just got caught up in emotions and we thought we're just going to say a few words and then we're still, we're done. And then that's it, we're good. No, the Bible says repent. Repent.

And understand, repent doesn't mean I'm sorry. Repent doesn't mean, okay, yeah, I feel bad about what I did. I'm sorry. Yeah, I sin, Lord. I'm sorry. Repent literally means in the original language, turn in the about face and not walk,

run in the opposite direction and also renounce the life and the demons that had hold of you and the devil that had hold of you before renounce the entire kingdom of darkness and do an about face and run with everything you got towards God. That's what repentance means.

So I want you to know if you're watching right now. Do I look at a camera? Give me that camera. Father, in the name of Jesus, I'm praying for each and everyone that's hearing my words right now, that they will feel that urgency, they hear that door creaking of that,

that's shutting, and they feel something's pulling them towards you, Jesus. So right now, God, I pray as we, I am going to lead them into prayer, but what I lead you in is nothing. If you have not decided wholeheartedly to reject the way that you have been living, reject the life, even reject the choices. And by the way, let me just say,

some of you feel like you're too far gone. Some of you feel like your failure, you fail God. Let me tell you something about failure. Failure is an event, it's not a person. You are not a failure. And you have not done anything too big and too evil that the grace and the mercy of God cannot cover. You're going to have to believe it on your own. This got to be more than emotions.

Oh yeah, you're emotional. I've got emotional on this. I get emotional all the time. It's got to be more than emotion. It's got to come from the depths of it. of who you are, the spirit man that's within you. You've got to believe not only in a God, but Jesus Christ as the son of God and as God himself.

He's the one that said it. I didn't say it. I am the way, the truth in the life. No man comes to the Father but by me. You have to come through Jesus. So we're going to pray of prayer, and we're going to pray it to Father God, and we're going to pray it in the name of Jesus.

We're going to pray it by the power of the Holy Spirit. And wherever you're watching, listening, whether it's a podcast, or audio podcast, cast in your ears, you're watching it on YouTube, you're watching it when it debuted, premiered, or whatever, or you're watching it a year or two years later, and we're still here. The Holy Spirit is drawing you to Jesus right now. What you feel that is not emotion. What you feel is the power of God himself.

The force that created everything that you can see with your eyes and experience with your life. that same force is pulling you to Jesus right now. So it's time to surrender. Right now, wherever you're at, just stop for a moment. Stop the chaos. Get along with God and empty your heart to him right now. This is how it works. You make it your words, but I'm going to pray it like it was the first time I prayed it.

You make it your own words. This is what I would pray if I was you. Father God, in the name of your son, your only son, your begotten son, Jesus Christ, I am more than sorry, I repent, I reject the way that I have lived, I turn my life around to you today, and I ask you God today to forgive me of every sin that I have ever committed. And come into my heart right now, Jesus. invite you. We've talked about I invite you. I have the authority to reject you and I have the authority to invite you and I have rejected you my whole life some way, shape or form. But today

I stop rejecting you and I invite you into my spirit man. I declare that today I am born again. I declare that today darkness leaves me. Today I walk in light and not in dark. darkness. I declare that God, I've asked you to forgive me, and I believe that by the shed blood of Jesus, you have forgiven me. And my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Lord, I believe that I have been changed by you and you alone. I am a child of God. And now, right now, I want to say to every force of hell that has laid claim to my life, to my mind, to my spirit. I say into you, I reject you, I renounce you every invitation that I have ever given to the forces of darkness and to the forces of the enemy, the devil himself. I shut those doors. I renounce those

invitations. They are no longer valid. I break them and I command you devil to loose me and loose any ties you have with me. I break generational curses. I break soul ties.

What I create in these songs in the pain is cold, but seasonally. I'm crying, looking for signs. I need a theophony. Everything in covers in me, isotropically, and nothing I seem to do is working out. Who is spotting me? I feel like they're mocking me. Where is the

God of me? I feel like I'm dried up harmony, and all I want is Christ. And bickering over the Bible while people are dying in front of them. And you wonder why people are running from. The guy that you say that is shunning them. I fell to myself. They told me to look, Someone raised not. Up in the stars, up in the sky, up in the clouds like he's not around. So I empty myself with every distraction. Got driving my tires, a ball can't get any traction. Where's compassion?

We following kings, but they only from Akron. Whoa. I just know that we're more than what they tell us. We're rovers delus when we protect what is precious. We get confused when those things start to propel us. Into things we don't want to do, leave us helpless. There's only one who gives us peace when we are restless. I know that now
