TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Elon Musk Makes Himself a Russian War Target

Episode Date: March 21, 2022

Today on TruNews, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine the latest headlines from the current conflict in Ukraine, including announcements from the White House that America should prepare for a Russian cyber attack. In part two, Rick shares from his book 'Final Day' highlights of his teaching on how the Second Coming of the Lord is a singular event, and the distraction in the church that accompanies the teaching of the Rapture.

The following program is made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you. To find out how you can help, and nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. Well, you can expect to hear and read a lot in coming days about a possible Russian cyber attack on the USA and other NATO allies. Will Russia's military cyber hackers attack Western targets or will the West stage a false flag cyber attack to justify NATO's involvement in the Russian Ukraine war? Doc and I will talk about it today on True News. Doc it's like i have a i don't know it's like like some kind of a bellwether device inside of me i just feel changes in the news okay i can sense it i can feel it and today what i'm hearing in my spirit is cyber attack.

Right. Whether it's real or fabricated, it doesn't matter. Right. Okay? Because I'm sensing we're about to be told that there was a major cyber attack. And whether it's real or whether it's a false flag, we won't know really for months, maybe in years, whether it was real or fake. But the results are the same. The results are the same. We will get into the war with Russia. And that's what I sense is coming.

So, you know, I think it was in maybe the same day that Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, Viasat experienced major satellite outages in Ukraine. Right. So today on CNBC, the CEO of Viasat said, you know, we're not quite sure who did it. It could be the Russians. And we're going to hear a lot of this in the coming days. I'm just, that's where I see the propaganda going. Russians are carrying out cyber attacks. Russians are plotting cyber attacks. Russian hackers are hiding everywhere, getting ready to pounce on you and cause havoc. But I think we should be, each of us should be prepared that something is coming. And look, there is the real possibility that Russia does carry out cyber attacks. This is a hot war.

Right. This war is becoming hotter every day. And we have to be concerned about it. Today, Apple has been down in many parts of the world. This is today's Wall Street Journal. Apple is down as several products, including the App Store, iTunes, and podcasts, suffer outages. In fact, more than 20 services of the Apple products have gone offline, according to TechApple's system status page. Some of those are back up and operating again, but it's been quite a long day for the Apple company. But we'll probably start seeing a lot more headlines like this over the next few days and next week or so because it's almost as if the administration or and everybody else got the memo today, start talking cyber attack big.

Yes, and the White House released a statement. Right. So this is President Joe Biden at the White House released this statement today saying this is a critical moment to accelerate our work to improve domestic cybersecurity and bolster our national resilience. I have previously warned about the potential that Russia could conduct malicious cyber activity against the United States, including as a response to the unprecedented economic costs we've imposed on Russia alongside our allies and partners. It's part of Russia's playbook.

Today, my administration is reiterating those warnings based on evolving intelligence that the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyberattacks. From day one, my administration has worked to strengthen our national cyber defenses, mandating extensive cybersecurity measures for the federal government and those critical infrastructure sectors where we have authority to do so, and creating innovative public-private partnerships and initiatives to enhance cybersecurity across all our critical infrastructure. Congress has partnered with us on these efforts and we appreciate that members of Congress worked across the

aisle to require companies to report cyber incidents to the United States government. My administration will continue to use every tool to deter, disrupt, and if necessary respond to cyber attacks against critical infrastructure. But the federal government can't defend against this threat alone. Most of America's critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector and critical infrastructure owners and operators must accelerate efforts to lock their digital doors. The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has been actively working with organizations across critical infrastructure to rapidly share information

and mitigation guidance to help protect their systems and networks. If you have not already done so, I urge our private sector partners to harden your cyber defenses immediately by implementing the best practices we have developed together over the past year. You have the power, the capacity, and the responsibility to strengthen the cybersecurity and resilience of the critical services and technologies on which Americans rely. We need everyone to do their part to meet one of the defining threats of our time, your vigilance and urgency today or mitigate attacks tomorrow.

Well, Rick, you and I know because we've talked to guests here on the program in the past who are experts in this field that the United States is critically behind the times as far as infrastructure and cybersecurity is concerned. So unless Joe Biden has pulled a miracle out of a hat here in the past year, it's unlikely that the U.S. could withstand a major cyber attack. Well, the Biden administration hasn't even figured out how the Russians hacked the 2016 election.

Right. And remember that... I mean that they told us they did. Right. For four years, we were told the Russians hacked the election. And what have you fixed it? And what we sold the bill of goods on the pipeline thing about a year ago. Yes. The Russians hacked that, too. Right. Still haven't figured out how they did that. OK, so if I were a an impartial, neutral observer from another country and had no strong feelings towards the USA or Russia, just neutral. Okay. And I looked at what the USA and the NATO allies did to Russia in the past three weeks. The U.S. and Europe has seized financial assets, hundreds of billions of dollars, cash and gold. Seized it. Anything that Russia had in Western banks or vaults, they seized it.

Right. Okay. Outright, would you not call that theft? It was theft. It's theft. Okay. They've cut off working with corporations. They've cut off services, credit card transactions, Visa, MasterCard. They cut off swift bank wire. They have done everything possible to cause the Russian economy to implode. If you were impartial, neutral observer, would you not conclude that the United States has carried out acts of war against Russia? DR. Of course. It wouldn't. And Russia has called it that. It's an economic war against them. MR. So from the Russian viewpoint, would a cyberattack against the United States be a reasonable response to what the West has done

to them? Well, let's flip it here. I mean, we're not allowed to talk like this, but when your government goes down this road and you try to, look, if you're strangling somebody and they can't breathe and he gets his fist and pops you one, who's at fault? Are you at fault for antagonizing him and bringing it about? That's what we're doing to Russia. The United States and Europe is strangling the Russian economy. We have our hands around the Russian economy's neck and we're squeezing so it can't breathe. We want it to black out. We want the Russian economy to pass out. That is a violent act. So where the Western government leaders are

going in the news media is, well, these Russians are going to hit us with a cyber attack because they want to fight. No, you're strangling them. Right. And they're going to respond at some point. Yes. Now, let's flip the script a little bit here. Remember back in 2016, before the election, Hillary Clinton herself said that a nuclear response was appropriate to a cyberattack by Russia. So there was an equivalence there that real-world military hardware equaled a cyber attack. And so the same thing could be said here.

If it was a real attack or a false flag attack, we would have the option in our mind, in our military doctrine, of responding heavily with a military response if we so chose to. If you follow the Hillary Clinton doctrine that a cyber attack justifies a nuclear attack. So we're devoting the first half of today's true news to this possibility of a major cyber attack in the coming days and what it could lead to. Now, so the fact that we have President Biden issuing this statement today, right, Doc, is that an indication the White House is expecting a real cyber attack or priming the pump for a false flag? Yeah, they're getting the public ready for a false flag. I'm not going on record saying the U.S. is going to carry out a false flag. It's not what I'm saying. But governments do carry out false flags.

That's a historical fact. And anybody who denies it, well, you're a false flag denier. I don't know what else to call you, a false flag denier. They're part of history. Even General Ulysses S. Grant, when he was not a general, when he was an officer in the, was it the Spanish War? No, not Spanish, the war with Mexico. Before the Civil War, the war with Mexico. Ulysses S. Grant protested and refused to carry out an order that he said he was ordered

to provoke the Mexican army to attack. That's like in the 1840s. Ulysses S. Grant. This stuff's been going on for a long, long time of doing things to make another army attack. Therefore, you can justify a war. Right. Okay. So I think we all agree that governments do these kind of things. And the U.S. isn't the only one that does it, but the U.S. certainly isn't an innocent little child in these matters also. So the U.S. says that get ready. Russia is planning a cyber attack. And we've got a video statement. Is this from directly from the White House? It is from their cybersecurity spokesperson.

Here's that clip. Urging private sector partners to take immediate action to shore up their defenses against potential cyber attacks. We've previously warned about the potential for Russia to conduct cyber attacks against the United States, including as a response to the unprecedented economic costs that the U.S. and allies and partners impose in response to Russia's further invasion of Ukraine. Today, we are reiterating those warnings, and we're doing so based on evolving threat intelligence that the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyber attacks on critical infrastructure in the United States. Well, just for, you know, just for as a thought experiment, Let's take them at their word that there really is intelligence that Russia is planning a cyber attack

What should companies be doing? What can they do if they haven't already done it right now? I mean that that's the real question. I mean even our power grid nuclear power plants things like that doc I can't speak to what corporations should do because that's way over my pay grade in that. Doc, I can't speak to what corporations should do because that's way over my pay grade in technology. You know, I have IT people here on staff for me just to do the most basic things for me. So, but what I can speak to is what you and I should be doing right now and that's more preparation. In particular, you should have cash. The banks could be shut down. ATM machines could be frozen. You may

have to physically go to a bank and a bank computer systems could be down and they won't give you any cash. I would be thinking about that. Have cash reserves. Gasoline, fuel stations. I'm certain they still, I haven't checked. I might be outdated in this. But for decades, gasoline stations, convenience stores, have satellite dishes on the roofs. That is for the point of sale authentication. So when you put your credit card or bank card into

the gasoline pump, how does that gasoline pump know you have money in your account? It talks to your bank. It talks to your bank through the satellite. All that is taking place through satellite. So if the satellites are disabled, internet connectivity from space to tens of thousands of gasoline stations, convenience stores and

so forth, there's no way to pump fuel. None. It all depends on a satellite connection between the gasoline pump and your bank. Right. So, Viasat, they've had this interruption. Many convenience stores are run connected through Hughes, the old Hughes Aircraft Company, which- Right, the GM Satellite Service. Yeah, owned by General Motors, used to own DirecTV. So all these things are very vulnerable. And to my knowledge, I believe fuel stations are still connected to banks through satellites.

I might be off on this because technology is changing so fast, but they still are connected through the Internet. Right. One way or the other, it is Internet connectivity. If you're able to disrupt it, you're able to shut down all gasoline stations and there's no fuel. Let's take an example of a town like Vero Beach. Let's say only Vero Beach got hit with a cyber attack and every single gas pump in Vero Beach was shut off. It wouldn't be Lincoln, Doc. I know that, but just think of the chaos. Vero Beach doesn't have a satellite just assigned to Vero Beach. Yeah, I understand.

But think of the chaos that would ensue just in one localized area as a result of something along that line. And so multiply that 10,000 times. We'll do it nationwide in the USA. Right. Every gasoline pump disabled. So you might think, well, they'll just fix it. That's what we do here in America. We fix it. Somebody can fix it. But what if the Russians use a cyber, what if the Russians use a laser weapon in space to

destroy the satellite that provides the connectivity to tens of thousands of gasoline stations. What if you have to put up a new satellite? Which could take months or years. Years. They don't have them sitting on shelves in warehouses. Hey, here we got another satellite over here, let's put it up there. These things are hundreds of millions of dollars and they have to be launched and put into orbit. Fuel could be unavailable for months. I mean, that's the real possibility. ATMs could be disabled for months. This is what we're looking at right now. This is what we're facing. Is Ukraine

worth it? Is this what this is all about? I have nothing against it. I hate war. I blame NATO for this war. NATO provoked this war. I can prove it. I have said it for years. There's going to be a war. There's going to be a war because NATO is provoking Russia to attack. They did it. It finally happened. It's a horrible thing. People are dying. But are we going to risk the whole world over corrupt, dirty little Ukraine. Are we going to give up everything in our country over Ukraine? The Great Britain, France, Germany, everything. We're going to give up everything over Ukraine. It appears that's the direction they're headed with this, Rick.

Because they're using the people of Ukraine. NATO is using them to bait Russia in for a bigger fight. And I wish the Ukrainian people would realize it, and I wish everybody else would realize it. This is a setup job to bring Russia in so a big takedown of Russia could be carried out. That's what this is all about. And the Russians, the Russians are aware that they either stop NATO's encroachment on their borders now, or NATO's going to be over their borders someday. It's as simple as that. So I want to show you an article from Space News. Cyber warfare gets real for satellite operators.

And they detail some of the things that have happened over the past few weeks here, Rick. The U.S. government on March 17th advised satellite operators to put their guard up in the wake of a cyber attack that disrupted Internet services in Europe provided by Viasat's KASAT. Given the current geopolitical situation, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency requests that all organizations significantly lower their threshold for reporting and sharing indications of malicious cyber activity, said CISA, an organization within the Department of Homeland Security. Following SISA's advisory, the Satellite Industry Association on March 18th issued a statement of commitment to cybersecurity best practices and expressed concern about evolving attacks by criminals, terrorists, and nation states.

And so they're up in their game here as far as being aware. Rick, you mentioned earlier about the cyberattack that took place with Biasat and everything. You don't hear a lot of that in the news, do you? No. No, you don't. You have to look for it. I would tell you that the company and the individual who are most at risk of a Russian attack is Elon Musk and Starlink. Elon Musk has injected himself and his company Starlink into the Ukraine-Russian war. Now first of all I have've got a personal beef with Elon Musk because I paid for Starlink equipment January of 2021. And this is March of 2022, and I still don't have my Starlink equipment at my house. And all I get from Starlink is, we're behind production.

Your installation has been delayed to such and such month. That's what I've gotten since January 2021. But Elon Musk is shipping, he's flying over to Ukraine, you know, dump truck loads of Starlink satellite receivers to to give them to the ukrainian military well that's mine one of them's mine doc i paid for one of them you know i think every starlink customer who's been waiting for over a year for their equipment should be throwing a fit right now like where did you get all these starlink receiver boxes to give away to the Ukrainian military? You're sending us emails saying we're behind production. My last email was, your home is now targeted for July 2022, all right? That's 18 months after I paid for the equipment. I didn't just sign up,

Doc. I paid for the equipment. The equipment that now is sending to Kiev. That he just sent to Ukraine for the Ukrainian military to use against the Russians. So that's my own personal beef with Elon Musk. But the Russians have a much bigger beef with Elon Musk. The Starlink system — all right, Star Starlink is Elon Musk, one of his companies that he supposedly owns. He's building a worldwide network of low orbiting satellites to project 5G connectivity on the ground. Okay, so I live in a rural area and my AT&T internet barely works. I haven't had internet service this bad at my house in decades. It's really bad, Doc. And I need connectivity, right?

And Starlink was the answer. But Elon Musk gave my equipment I paid for to Zelensky. I want it back. I have to go over to Ukraine and get my equipment, all right? So where am I going with this? Elon Musk has interjected himself into the Russian-Ukraine war. Therefore, he's made himself personally and his company, Starlink, targets in a war. Right. This is what I said weeks ago about Mr. Childress, the NASCAR team owner who also owns an ammo company

who donated like 100 million rounds of ammo to kill Russian soldiers. You just made yourself a combatant. You're now a combatant. You're now involved in a war. It was none of your business, okay? So if something happens to you, you brought it on yourself. So Elon Musk has made himself a target. So he shot his mouth off last week and said he challenged Putin to a fight. A one-on-one fight. A one-on-one physical fight. Let's just do it now. Yes.

And we'll battle it out and the winner takes all. who looks like a guy that eats wolves for breakfast, said, and he called Elon Musk by his, the feminine version of his name. He called him Ilana. He said Ilana should not insult the president of Russia. OK. Musk better hope that this Chechen warlord doesn't show up at Musk's house some night, okay? Because this guy honestly looks like someone that would just pop your eyes out and swallow them, all right? He's not somebody to mess with. So Elon Musk is involved in this war.

And not just by providing Wi-Fi to Zelensky and members of Parliament. He's helping the military attack the Russians. So Starlink is now a war target for the Russian military. I would not be surprised at any day that a Russian space-based weapon disintegrates the Starlink satellites over Ukraine. Wouldn't be surprised at all. Now the Russians may not do it because they don't want to reveal the laser weapons that they possess. Right. But then it also may be a show of force. Like, we just fried 10 of your satellites, and their cinders are floating in outer space right now,

and satellite connectivity is done over in Ukraine. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happens. But Starlink and Elon Musk are now targets of the Russian military. They're active combatants in a war. This stuff that's going on, people have no idea the foolishness of what they're doing. I'm talking about Americans that are getting actively involved in a war. Because it's going to cost them. It's going to cost them something. So we've got, did we put number six up with Elon Musk? This is a diagram showing some of the images of the Starlink network and how the Starlink network is actually linking up to give guidance to drones

that the Ukrainians are using to attack Russian jets. Essentially, Elon Musk is helping Ukraine establish their own low-budget, no-fly zone over Ukraine through satellite technology. And so, as Rick said, Elon Musk has directly interjected himself into the conflict in Ukraine by allowing company resources to be used specifically by the Ukrainian military. So Putin's got to be asking, are we fighting the Ukrainian military or are we fighting the Ukrainian military and American corporations?

Right. Because American corporations are now becoming war corporations. Doc, this is the first time we're actually seeing corporations. I mean, we have defense contractors, I get that. Sure. But Elon Musk's companies, they're not defense contractors. Right.

You now have consumer-oriented corporations taking part in a war in censoring, canceling Russian businesses and people and so forth. The Russians retaliated today. I will drop down to number 15. A Russian court banned Facebook and Instagram today for extremism because Facebook and Instagram owned by Zuckerberg now allow people to post messages calling for the killing of Russians and the killing of Putin that's that is good hate speech on Facebook and Instagram and so now the tables have turned on Facebook and Instagram instead of them banning people

they've been banned by an entire nation yes and so now this doesn't impact the people that have used Facebook and Instagram this is only directed at the corporate level or anything like that and And so this is in effect now. This is going on as we speak. It has basically been shut off in Russia now. You can't use Facebook and Instagram in Russia now. So again, the world is, globalism is over for now. I'm not saying it's not going to come back.

Right now, globalism is over. It may be decades until globalism comes back. We're going into a time of regional networks, regional geopolitical networks, regional internets, regional economies, regional banks. The world is not going to be working with each other. It's going to become a very segregated world for decades to come. This is going to last a long, long time. This kind of stuff has been done in the past three weeks. You will not get over this in days. You won't get over it in weeks, months, or years. It will be decades. There'll be someday, 30, 40 years from now,

somebody, if the United States is still here, somebody running for president saying, I want to restore relations. I want the Cold War to end I want to restore relations with Russia and China 30 40 years from now that'll be like the Cold War in the 50s right it's going to take a long time for this to be healed if the US survives this thing or if Russia survives. It is a fight for survival. I'm going to go through some very quickly before we take a break.

The Israeli Navy has joined a NATO exercise. So you see Israel inching closer and closer to becoming a member of NATO. The Russian government has summonsed the U.S. ambassador to Russia after Joe Biden called Vladimir Putin a war criminal. Number 11, Russia terminated. Doc, here we go. We were there. We were there. We were there. I saw this article today, Rick.

I was just like, hot dog. We were way ahead of this. We were. Doc and I were there in St. Petersburg, Russia, years ago, and we heard with our own ears Vladimir Putin offer a peace treaty to Shinzo Abe, who was the prime minister of Japan at that time, the peace treaty to end World War II. And we're like, what? World War II?

We thought it was over a long time ago. And that's when we learned Russia and Japan were still technically at war. And I didn't know that they were actively in peace treaty talks right now, but Japan's recent remarks toward Ukraine and their material support for aid has complicated matters in those talks, and Russia has terminated peace treaty talks with Japan. So technically, Rick, World War II is still going. Yes, which could erupt into World War III. The next story is Vatican News.

The Virgin of Fatima has been transported to Ukraine. This is in preparation of this Friday's consecration of Russia to Virgin Mary. The Pope himself is going to carry out this consecration ceremony in which he's going to consecrate the entire nation of Russia to Virgin Mary in fulfillment of the 1917 Fatima vision. This is to me astounding that this is actually taking place this week. We're witnessing a significant event. Regardless of how you feel about the Fatima visions, the fact that a pope is acting on it is significant. It is. In the middle of a war.

Right. And that vision has to do with war and Russia. Yes. So what it means is the Vatican is claiming Russia. I'm going to be real blunt about this. The Pope is laying claim to Russia. That's essentially it. That's what he's doing. He's saying Russia belongs to the Vatican now. If you go back, Malachi Martin, was it the book Keys of This Blood? I believe so. All right. Malachi Martin said that there were three major players in the New World Order,

Russia, the United States, and the Vatican. That caught a lot of people by surprise. Because a lot of people back, when was that book in it? 80s, 90s? Late 80s. Late 80s, okay. A lot of people were surprised because Malachi Martin was a high-level Vatican insider, and he said, oh no, there are three major parties vying, competing for control of the world.

Russia, the United States, and the Vatican. Right. So the Pope is going to make his move this Friday. He's carrying out a religious ceremony, the consecration of Russia to Virgin Mary. What he's really saying is we're taking ownership of Russia, the Vatican. CEREMONY, THE CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA TO VIRGIN MARY, WHAT HE'S REALLY SAYING IS WE'RE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF RUSSIA, THE VATICAN. AND USING THE FATIMA PROPHECY TO DO IT. YES.

BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE CONVINCING ME THAT A COMMUNIST ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN THE FATIMA PROPHECY. RIGHT. SO. WHERE HE'S MAYBE GOING WITH THIS, DOC, IS THAT HE'S GOT A DEAL GOING WITH SOROS is that he's got a deal going with Soros and the other New World Order boys. Hey, I'll help you take down Russia, and what we get out of it is we take over the Russian Orthodox Church. And that's our payoff. We've got our global community once again.

And it verifies that Fatima was a real vision. What else we got here? One more. One more. This is a New York Post. Twitter has suspended Babylon Bee for naming Rachel Levine Man of the Year. It looks like this ought to be a Babylon Bee story itself right there. It is so stupid.

For folks that don't know what Babylon Bee is, it's a satire site, a mainly Christian satire site and a poking fun at the headlines and stuff like that. They posted this in response to USA Today's article of last Friday

naming Rachel Levine as one of the women of the year in the USA Today's article of last Friday, naming Rachel Levine as one of the women of the year in the USA Today's list of women of the year. But she doesn't look like a woman, does she? She's not a woman. That's why. It's a man. It's a man in a dress. And so Twitter is so politically correct that it now deplatforms satire publications. Right. So Seth Dillon is the CEO of Babylon Bee, and they received this notice. They've been locked out of their account for hateful conduct. Hateful. Hateful for calling someone who is a man, a man. That's where the hate is, Rick. But they were locked out for violating Twitter rules. What was the tweet? Well, the Babylon Bee's man of the year is Rachel Levine. So he's a man.

But you can't say that, can you? Yeah, you can. You can. He's a man. Rachel Levine is not a woman. He's a man. And his name is not Rachel. That's right. It's a man. And his name is not Rachel. That's right. It's Richard. It's Richard Levine. Why aren't women upset by this? That is a man.

Even a woman can't be a woman anymore. It takes a man to be a woman. They're gaslighting us, Doc. They're gaslighting normal thinking people. It's gaslighting. It's to make you think the whole world has gone crazy. And they're doing quite well at making us think that. It's all gaslighting to disrupt society.

But again, you look at the Russians sitting over there going, oh, wow, that's what we're up against. The West is so whacked out crazy. They will punish you if you say that a man in a dress is a man in a dress. You've got to be thinking, the West has really lost its mind. And we have. We've become reprobates as a nation, corporately as a nation. We're now a reprobate nation a nation, corporately as a nation. We're now a reprobate nation. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about Bible

prophecy on the next segment of True News. Having good, nutritious food ready in case of natural disasters or shipping disruptions is part of the wisdom God gives to us, and Heaven's Harvest is your resource in preparedness.

A cyber attack could severely disrupt food production and food transportation. So it's another reason to have preparedness foods in your possession just in the event that there is a major cyber attack and stores are closed and trucks are not running and

gas pumps are not pumping gas for the trucks to take the food anywhere and farmers don't have gasoline for tractors and it just goes on and on and on all right so be prepared for these things i want to encourage you to get your copy of final day there are several things that i'm working on for this book this is a 10 characteristics of the lord's second coming i'm working on an audiobook, which we are anticipating will be out in May. The e-book will be available in the near future, very near future. And also a video course. I'm going to be producing a 10-part video course on a final day. So all those things are coming up in the coming weeks and months but right now you can get this book this is the second edition it is completely different from the first edition i've

added a lot of new material and i i honestly humbly believe that the Holy Spirit gave me revelation, especially in the second edition. There were things in the first edition I had never thought of before I wrote the book. And then the second edition, He just revealed more things to me. And so I put it in the second edition, and I'd like you to have a copy of it. The book is $19.95 plus shipping. If you'd like a personal autograph, I will sign it for you. We're asking for a donation of $100. There's a banner at truenews.com. Click the banner to take you to the page to order the book. We will send it out right away. So today, excuse me, today, Doc and I are going to spend the remaining part of today's program talking about some things that are in the book,

because the ten characteristics of the Lord's second coming. Chapter one, his second coming shall be singular. And chapter two is sudden and unexpected. Chapter three, atmospheric, and goes on. But chapter 1, his second coming shall be singular, meaning one second coming. And this is a major point of contention in American evangelical churches. You get outside of America, few people have even heard of it. In America, it'll cause a food fight. And what is it? This word called the rapture.

And there's a lot of misunderstanding, even by the people who believe in the rapture. Right, because if you ask the normal person in the pew, what is the rapture? They'll say the second coming. Yes, so what does that mean? But it's not the, if you understand what the rapture doctrine people teach, it's not the second coming. Right. But most people in the church pews that, where they go to church, where they teach the rapture, they believe it's the second coming. But if you understand the rapture doctrine, the rapture is not the second coming. And that's what we want to show you here today.

So I want to start with, well, you know, I'm not, I was going to, I'm going to go ahead and mention before we get into this, this is from Syria. I just think you need to see this. This is an English translation of a Syrian newspaper article. And President Assad of Syria spoke to the participants of an international ecclesiastical conference preserving the region's diverse fabric and identity as a necessity as a Necessity that We Must Defend. He actually organized the conference, Rick. Yes. The Muslim president of Syria organized a conference for Christians in Syria

to state that it is his government's commitment to defend Christian churches and Christian people. I'll show you the article from the Jerusalem Post. Assad claims Israel aims to displace Christians across the region. So the president of Syria told the Syrian Christians, the Zionists are deliberately removing Christians from the Middle East. That's a major accusation that he made. Yes. Now, there's the real displacement.

Theology. Theology. Okay. So we're not going to go into the statement, but I wanted you to see this because this refutes the propaganda in the United States. They call him in the United States the butcher. The butcher. He's a butcher. He gasses children.

Right. No, he just organized a conference for Christians to say, my government will protect your churches. My government will protect the members of your churches. It's opposite of what the Western propaganda says about this man. YOUR CHURCHES, MY GOVERNMENT WILL PROTECT THE MEMBERS OF YOUR CHURCHES. IT'S OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE WESTERN PROPAGANDA SAYS ABOUT THIS MAN. BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE HIM EVIL. YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE HIM BAD. YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE HIM KILLING CHRISTIANS. HE'S JUST GOING DOWN THE STREET EVERY DAY, KILLS A CHRISTIAN JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT. BUT WHAT HE'S REALLY SAYING IS THE ZIONISTS ARE THE ONES KILLING THE CHRISTIANS, AND HE'S PROTECTING THEM. SO WE COULD DO A WHOLE SHOW ON THAT TOPIC, OKAY?

SO LET'S GET TO THIS TALK ABOUT THE RAPTURE. AND ALSO, ANOTHER THING I'M NOTICING, DOC, IS THERE'S A RESURGENCE OF TALK AMONG THE PROPHECY PEOPLE IN AMERICA ABOUT THE GAUG AND MAGOG WAR. RIGHT. AND THEY ARE CONVINCED THAT THIS UKRAINE-RUSSIAN WAR, THIS IS GAUG AND MAGOG WAR. AND THEY ARE CONVINCED THAT THIS UKRAINE-RUSSIAN WAR, THIS IS GAUG AND MAGOG. I'M GOING TO TRY MAYBE THIS

WEDNESDAY, DOC, YOU AND I CAN TALK ABOUT THAT. IS THIS THE GAUG AND MAGOG WAR? BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PUFFERY GOING ON OUT THERE RIGHT NOW ON INTERNET NEWSLETTERS AND PROPHECY PROGRAMS. ALL BECAUSE THEY HAVE A

DESIRE TO MAKE RUSH OF THE DEVIL. YES. THAT'S THE REASON. AND TO JUSTIFY BOMBING THEM. RIGHT. TO PROVE THAT. THE BIBLE'S RIGHT.

NO, TO PROVE THAT JOHN NELSON DARBY WAS RIGHT. OKAY. SO LET'S GO TO ONE OF THE PROMINENT RAPTURE TEACHERS IN THE UNITED STATES. I'M DOING THIS RESPECTFULLY. I DON'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT Let's go to one of the prominent rapture teachers in the United States. I'm doing this respectfully. I don't mean any disrespect towards Dr. Jeremiah. But this is his website, Dr. David Jeremiah.

He is a major proponent of the Darby Rapture Doctrine. And he has, if you search search what is the rapture David Jeremiah's website says the rapture is perhaps the most important piece of prophecy for us to understand and he sees

this as the next big thing that is going to happen he says in summary the rapture is an event where all of us who have put their trust in Christ, living and deceased, will suddenly be caught up from earth, be joined with Christ in the air, and taken to heaven. Paul described the rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 13 to 18. All right, so let's stop right there.

Now, he is saying the rapture. The rapture is described in 1 Thessalonians 4, verse 13 to 18, the rapture, not the second coming. And if you, my dear friend, if you are a believer in the rapture, I pray in the name of Jesus that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes today through this telecast of true news and you will see the deception.

Keep in mind, David Jeremiah, speaking on behalf of all the rapturists in the evangelical churches of America, says that 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, verses 13 to 18, talks about the rapture. Now, Doc, let's read that scripture. And this is the cornerstone scripture for everything that relates to this particular doctrine for them. So 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, beginning at verse 13. So let's read through it here, walk through it step by step. But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you

by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who are asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we be, so shall be forever with the Lord.

Okay, let's just leave this up for a moment. I ask you this question. Is the scripture describing the rapture or the second coming? And you may be saying, I didn't know there was a difference. Well there is if you believe the doctrine. The raptures teach that the the rapture happens before tribulation, and the second coming happens after tribulation. Right. Two separate events.

As you look at these words of Apostle Paul, is he talking about a secret pre-tribulation rapture or is he talking about the very visible very audible public second coming which one is it this is really what it comes down to because doc if you ask a an ardent disciple of darby show me the rapture in the bible show me the secret pre-tribulation rapture they'll start the scripture they're taking you to why didn't paul say the rapture why didn't he actually use the word because because that word's not in the bible it's not in the bible right why didn't he the Bible. Right. Why didn't he say,

but I would not have you to be ignorant brothers. The Lord will come back twice. He will come back secretly in the rapture and get you and your deceased loved ones. And then he'll take you to heaven. And then he will come back seven years later and destroy the enemies of the state of israel because the raptures teach that nobody gets caught up in the air in the second coming right only the saints get caught up in the air in the secret rapture. So where is the rapture in this scripture? I have another question for you.

They say it's secret. Nobody but the Christians will see Jesus. Nobody will hear him but Jesus. I mean, but the Christians. You know, they get caught up in the air. You know the whole story. The planes fall out of the sky because there's no pilots. Cars wreck.

And dads go home and the house is empty because mom and the kids got raptured. And he didn't because he drinks beer and he didn't get raptured. And you know the whole story. He's going to have to stick around for seven years. He's going to be there seven years. Maybe get saved. But they're going to leave him a note. They're going to leave him a note.

He's going to find a note somewhere that his wife left. Dear hubby, I told you the rapture was true. Now we're gone. You have seven years to get saved. That's what they teach. That's the Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey. That's the whole enchilada of what they've been teaching. It all depends on this passage right here.

Where is it? And if it's secret, does the Lord, it says he comes down from heaven with a shout. That's the Lord with a shout. Is it a pantomime? Does he just move his lips, but nothing comes out of his mouth? The voice of the archangel. There's another voice there. Is he also faking it? He just moves his lips. How about the trumpet of God? Is there a muffler on it? Does he have a silencer

on the trumpet? Because these are three loud things that are accompanying the return of the Lord here. Three very loud things. But then the folks who believe in a secret rapture would say, no one hears this. No very loud things. But then the folks who believe in a secret rapture would say, no one hears this. No one hears it. Nobody sees them. Nobody sees the graves opening and millions

of resurrected bodies coming out of the graves. That's what they teach. By the way, chapter five of the final day book is his second coming shall be noisy. And I base it on this scripture right here. It's noisy. There's a lot of other scriptures that talk about the noise of the second coming. So where, Dr. David Jeremiah, where is the secret rapture? All right. Now, if you set that aside for a minute and actually look at this passage, just put it back up again for a moment, guys. And who is Paul talking to here, Rick? He says at the very beginning, listen, I would not have you ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others who have no hope. So obviously there

was an issue that was going on in the churches. Yes. That there was some discussion about, well, if the Lord returns and we're alive, what happens to... To Grandma that died. That she was a believer. I mean, what happens to her? That was the question at hand. That's right.

It wasn't, hey, when's the rapture going to take place? It was, what happens to my loved ones, my family, my friends, who faithfully serve the Lord? They're in the grave. I'm alive. So that's the question. So Paul goes on to say, for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,

so that's, if you believe the resurrection, then believe in the resurrection of those who are asleep in Jesus. And he will bring with him, he will bring them at the second coming. Not a secret rapture. He brings those saints to be united with their bodies that will come out of the

grave. He goes on to say, and this is an important phrase here, for this we say to you by the word of the Lord. Now just that phrase right there. This was direct revelation that God gave the apostles and gave to Paul to clear this matter up. It wasn't, you know, hey, we got this figured out. We wrote out a big chart while we were at the council in Jerusalem. We got this all mapped out. And he doesn't say how he got it. He just says it's a word of the Lord. And he says, for this we say, we meaning all the apostles. We say the apostles are in unity. But Paul doesn't describe,

he doesn't explain how the apostles received this word. He just says, this came from God himself. And so he goes on, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who are asleep. remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who are asleep. So he clears that up first. Until the coming of the Lord. The second coming of the Lord. He didn't say until the rapture of the Lord. He said until the coming of the Lord. Right. And it goes on, the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, the

voice of the archangel, the trumpet of God, three noisy events. And what's going to happen? Well, Paul explains it. The dead in Christ will rise first. Their bodies will rise first. THREE NOISY EVENTS. AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? WELL, PAUL EXPLAINS IT. THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. THEIR BODIES WILL RISE FIRST. THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS TO MEET THE LORD IN THE

AIR AND SO SHALL WE BE FOREVER WITH THE LORD. THAT'S RIGHT. LET'S GO BACK TO DR. JEREMIAH'S WEBSITE. AND LET'S SEE. LET'S SCROLL DOWN AND SOMEWHERE Dr. Jeremiah's website. And let's see. Let's scroll down and somewhere in here he gives some other examples of scriptures.

Okay, so we've got the meaning of the rapture. Hold on, you're going a little bit too fast for me. Because he gives a different, he gives us several more quotes, scripture quotes. He quotes John 14, verses 1 through 3, as an example, as proof, proof of the rapture. He gives three scriptures as evidence of the rapture. First Thessalonians chapter 4, then John 14 verses 1 through 3, and then he also gives 1 Corinthians 15. So let's go, here it is, right there. Look at this. Dr. David Jeremiah himself

is in agreement with me in teaching that the rapture is different from Christ's second coming. Now, where I part with him is, there's no rapture. Right. You, Dr. Jeremiah, are the one who have created an imaginary event. And so the rapture is different from Christ's second coming. Christ comes back one time. He doesn't sneak in once in a rapture and return seven years later. Now in this part of his website, he quotes these three scriptures. So let's take a look at John 14. So this is John chapter 14, verses 1 through 3, a very familiar passage

for a lot of people. Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. As Jesus speaking, in my Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you. I'm going to prepare a place for you. And if I go

and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself that where I am, you may be also. That's the second coming. Where is the secret rapture? Seven years before the second coming. Where is it? Dr. Jeremiah and to all the rapture enthusiasts, where is the secret rapture? It does not exist in that scripture. Only the second coming. But they insist. You say, show me three scriptures that prove that there's a secret rapture. And these are the three scriptures they show you, and not one of them says secret rapture seven years before the second coming right and the one that really clinches it is first corinthians chapter 15

verses 50-57 so once again let's walk through this slowly now this i say brothers that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of god nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Listen, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible will put on incorruption, and this mortal will put on immortality. When this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will put on immortality. When this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then the saying that is written shall come to pass. Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your sting? O grave,

where is your victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Once again, I ask the question, where is the secret rapture in the scripture? Seven years before the second coming. It simply does not exist.

Yet the rapturous swear it's there. How do they get by the phrase at the last trumpet? How do they get past that? The last trumpet. There's not going to be another trumpet afterwards. So what trumpet is blown for the second coming? There's no trumpet. If the rapture is the last trumpet, then there's no trumpet blast at the second coming. That's what they're teaching. But all throughout the Old Testament,

New Testament, whenever you have an instance of the last trumpet, it's always talking about the day of judgment. The rapture doctrine is so easy to blow away because it's an imaginary event. It's created by a cult.

The rapture cult has inserted a heresy in the evangelical churches in America. It's a cult. The rapture cult. There is no secret pre-tribulation rapture seven years before the second coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus never said it. The apostles never said it. The Old Testament prophets never said it Jesus Christ. Jesus never said it. The apostles never said it. The Old Testament prophets never said it. The church fathers never said it.

John Nelson Darby said it. And he got it from a spook in his family's haunted castle in Lep, Ireland. And no reliable document over nearly 2,000 years of church history that you can point to that legitimizes this idea at all. THOUSAND YEARS OF CHURCH HISTORY THAT YOU CAN POINT TO THAT LEGITIMIZES THIS IDEA AT ALL. THIS HAS ONLY BEEN A CREATION OF DOCTRINE WITHIN THE PAST 175 TO 200 YEARS WITHIN THAT TIMEFRAME THERE AS IT'S BEEN HANDED OFF AND GONE DOWN THE LINE. YOU KNOW, IN THIS PARTICULAR PASSAGE IN FIRST CORINTHIANS 15, PAUL, AND I HEAR THIS T You'll see this phrase. I tell you a mystery. You've heard that one, right?

Well, Rick, we can't figure all this rapture stuff out. It's a mystery. But he told you the mystery. But he told, I'm telling you a mystery. It's Columbo explaining how the deed was done. It's not a mystery anymore. This is it. It's going to happen instantly.

It's going to happen in the twinkling of an eye, it says. And they always refer that to the rapture. But the twinkling of the eye occurs at the last trumpet. That's right. At the very end of time. There's so much, time isn't even going to exist at that point anyway. That's right. It's all over. Hey, if you want to understand the difference between the rapture and the second coming and the fact that there is no rapture.

And you want to be able to explain this to your brother-in-law who insists that there is a rapture. Get a copy of Final Day, a devotal. An entire chapter to it with a lot of scriptures that explain that there simply is no secret rapture. There's just the one glorious second coming of Jesus Christ. Over the years, I've had people say,

Rick, you're denying that the church is going to be caught up in the air. No, I'm not. No, we are. I'm going to be caught up in the air. Because we've got to leave this world behind. Yes, absolutely. It's the second coming. Not an imaginary rapture. It's the second coming. The glorious appearance of the king. Now tomorrow

I'm going to give you more about how they switched the words around. I'll go a little bit more into detail in how they came up with this rapture instead of talking about the second coming. It's all smoke and mirrors. It's sleight of hand like a magician. And I explain it in the book. But you can get a copy of the book, Final Day. It's $19.95 plus shipping.

$100 donation for an autographed copy. We've got plenty of them here. We're shipping them out every day as fast as we can get them out. Thousands of people have ordered the book already and we want you to have a copy. Come back tomorrow. We'll talk about the words, how they

twisted words, made up words and changed things around to create the rapture. You're going to be fascinated with what you hear tomorrow. That's it for today. Love you so much. We'll be back here tomorrow. God bless. God bless you. The preceding program was made possible by the faithful prayers and financial support of listeners just like you.
