so help us God. World War III could take a radical turn for the worse in coming weeks. Until now, NATO allies have not deployed combat troops inside Ukraine to engage Russian forces. That may change in the next month or two. Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary has claimed that NATO allies will send troops into Ukraine soon to fight the Russians. The Hungarian leader made the stunning admission on an interview on Hungary's national public radio station. We will start today's True News with a look at this article published by Novasti News Agency. Orban said the West is close to discussing sending troops to Ukraine. Doc Burkhardt is here. Doc, if this is true, and it's true that he gave the interview, it's true that Mr. Orban made the statement. Those things we know are true. But if it's true, what he said that, I mean, and Hungary is a member of NATO.

Right. And he's not a fan of this war. Right. And he's had a special relationship with Russia for energy supplies and everything different than the rest of NATO. So the relationship has been a bit different and it's been a bit iffy here. But if this is true, Rick, it changes the balance of everything, right? Things are going to radically change. Let's take a look at the news article.

Well, as Rick said, Western countries are close to seriously discussing the possibility of sending Allied troops to Ukraine. And that was by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. He said that on Kossuth Radio, public radio in Hungary. He said, quote, We are very close to suggesting in all seriousness that the soldiers of the Allied countries

cross the border and enter the territory of Ukraine. So I must say that. The world has never been so close to the fact that from a local war, after all, it was about Lugansk and Donetsk, it turned out to be a world war. The likelihood of this is growing from day to day. According to him, Western leaders are suffering from war fever. Orban accused them of sending more and more dangerous weapons to Ukraine, noting that the transfer of fighter jets is now on the agenda,

although this topic was previously considered taboo. So, Rick, does Mr. Orban know something that the rest of the world doesn't? Yes. He's the head of a NATO nation. And so he's been in the meetings. He's been on the phone calls. Yes. He knows what's coming. So let's talk about it. If he is accurately describing what NATO

is planning, deploying NATO troops inside Ukraine to engage the Russians, how will the Russians respond? Well, they're going to attack NATO troops. And once that happens, the first time a NATO plane gets shot down, the first time a NATO soldier gets killed, you've got all of NATO in. Everybody's in. And then what happens? We're in a shooting war. We're in the shooting part of World War III. We're already in World War III now. We're just in the blow them up stage at that point. But the fighting's not going to remain confined to Ukraine. No, it's going to involve Europe, the United States.

The war becomes a world war at that point. And it becomes nuclear. Right. This could happen within months. I don't think it'll be weeks, but possibly within months. I can't see any... If NATO sends troops into Ukraine,

we know they have troops there. They have advisors, they have commandos. But in an official capacity now, if they do move troops in, and it's apparent to all the world that NATO troops are there, Russia's going to respond to that. They have to, or they look weak.

Right. If they back off, if they withdraw, if they don't engage the NATO troops, then the world says the Russians are afraid of NATO. So Putin and the Russian military apparatus have no other option other than to fully engage NATO in an all-out war. And the first days will be confined to Ukraine. But it won't stop there. But it won't, yes, not going to stay there

because the Russians will use tactical nukes against the American and British, German, French. Decision centers. Well, I think they'll use tactical nukes against the NATO troops inside Ukraine. I think they'll wipe them out quickly with tactical nukes. I think they'll just take them out.

Then when that happens, then NATO declares war on Russia. It becomes official then. It becomes official. And then the silos open up and the ICBMs come out. The submarines are off the coast of America,

Canada, Great Britain, Europe, and the world is quickly coming to an end. That's where we're at. Now, Victor Rubin has had a shaky relationship with NATO as of late because he has refused to cave into the perversion of values that NATO

promotes. That's one aspect of it. Because Hungary is maintaining their Christianity. Right. And so that's been a shaky relationship there. Plus he's had, he's continued to receive energy supplies from Russia, which probably sticks in NATO's craw on that. So you've got that aspect of things. And don revolution uh you send samantha power in a few weeks or a few months beforehand uh she went in to set up some ngos for freedom of the press and this is a nato ally and promoting democracy right a nato ally and i don't think she's invited i know of course you know the the other place that is going to have a revolution very soon is georgia and i'm talking about the country of Georgia, not the American state of Georgia. But there's a lot of turmoil going on in Georgia right now. And you can expect to see open revolution in Georgia.

Both sides are destabilizing allies of the other side. Serbia is dealing with it. Serbia is Russia-friendly, and so they're dealing with attempts to create civil unrest in Serbia. But going back to this concept of NATO troops entering Ukraine to engage the Russian troops. Doc, everything at that moment, life changes. Life changes. Does anybody comprehend what is about to happen? Even you and I sitting here can't comprehend it.

You and I have been telling our audience since February of last year, this is World War III, if sane people don't step up and get a grip on what's going on, civilization is going to end as we know it. And Mr. Orban said the West has war fever. And now we could be possibly weeks, most likely months,

a few months away from seeing NATO troops cross the, they're going to cross, you know they're going to cross from Poland. There's going to be a build up of troops into Poland. And they're going to cross from Poland into Ukraine. What other country where

do we have NATO troops along the Russian border? I mean, there's a lot of troops. Well, don't we have the 100th Airborne in Moldova? Yes. So they're there, and that's south of Ukraine. You're going to see a NATO invasion of Ukraine and immediately the Russians, the Russian troops are not going to engage the NATO troops. Russian tactical nukes are going to engage them.

Russia will probably pull their troops back to be far enough away from the nuclear blast. But folks, it's coming. Biden and all these guys, Lindsey Graham, they are insane. They are insane. And they just have blood dripping from their lips. Mike McCaul, Lindsey Graham, Joe Biden, Democrat and Republican, they are bloodthirsty warmongers and they're threatening the civilization of the human race. And this is not an exaggeration. You're going to regret it. I'm telling you, you're going to regret it. Listen to me. When the troops cross the border, you are going to regret that you did not do anything

to tell Washington to stop it. You're going to regret it. Because there's not going to be anyone in Washington that's going to say it. Once the troops not going to be anyone in Washington that's going to say it. Once the troops go in, there's no turning back. Right. One more question about Victor Orban, Rick. Why do you think he said this?

He had to know that there were implications for him saying that. Because he's trying to stop it. He's trying to stop it. He released it on National Public Radio. What is it? Hulseth Radio. Yes. Yeah, Kossuth Radio. Kossuth. Yeah, that's like NPR in America. It's their public radio stations. And so he went on official government finance radio station and made this announcement

because he knew it would get publicity around the world. He wanted people to know they're actually going to send NATO troops into Ukraine. And he knows what's going to happen. I can't believe he's going to send uh hungarian troops in i don't but if he doesn't they're going to go after him right they'll remove him they'll assassinate him they'll do something they'll they'll undermine his administration they'll cause uh they'll destabilize his government and we've already got the players in place in Hungary to do it. That's right. Oh, the next one, the prime minister of great Britain said the war will end at the

negotiating table with Ukraine in the best place. Once again, the very thing that we have been saying for many, many months, the phase that we entered into the world back at the end of 2022. And I said, Doc, where this is going now is that both sides are going to do everything that they can to hurt the other side, to strengthen their own position, because they're going to the negotiating table and each side is going to make the other side bleed and wail and hurt as much as possible so that they get to the negotiating table limping and bleeding. Now, apparently, apparently the West thinks that putting NATO troops in Ukraine will strengthen Zelensky at the negotiating table. I'm telling you, there's not going to be a negotiating table. Putin is not going to negotiate with NATO troops in Ukraine.

But that's their thinking. We will strengthen Zelensky's hand if we put nato troops inside his country putin will have to back down he'll be weak he'll go to the negotiating table knowing he's been been defeated no he's not he's going to nuke you he's going to take out the whole west and the game is over because Because he knows that once NATO troops enter Ukraine, it's over for Russia. That's right. Because they're not going to stop. Then they're going to Moscow. Well, in this Guardian article, we read that the war in Ukraine will end at the negotiating table. That's according to Rishi Sunak, as he vowed to support

Zelensky to be in the best possible place to have those talks. Now, while the prime minister indicated that now is not the time for those peace talks, now is never the time for peace talks. Oh, no, we wouldn't want to sit down and talk about how to end a bloody war. So he recommitted to providing additional support to Ukraine to ensure it has an advantage on the battlefield. He went on to say, of course, this will end, as all conflicts do, at the negotiating table, but that is a decision for Ukraine to make. How did it end for Japan? They surrendered.

That wasn't a negotiating table. No. It was a surrender table. So what we need to do is put them in the best possible place to have those talks at an appropriate moment that makes sense for them. But at the moment, the priority has got to be giving them the resources, the training, and support they need to push forward and create advantage on the battlefield. So basically, we're all in on this for Ukraine, at least Great Britain is, the UK is. We're moving forward with

this, but now is not the time for peace talks. Not now, Rick. Not enough people have died. There hasn't been enough blood. Isn't that it? That's exactly what they're saying. There needs to be more blood. We'll be in the driver's seat if there's more blood. That's how demented these people

think. Right. Well, while we're talking about demented world leaders, let's talk about bb netanyahu he said horrible nuclear war will break out if iran isn't stopped well bb if you bomb iran a horrible nuclear war is going to break out and remember the story we did just the other day tehran doesn't even have uranium right now. They're in Russian vaults. But Netanyahu is ready for war. He said a horrible nuclear war

will break out if the world does not stop Tehran from obtaining atomic weapons. That's coming from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said this in his first ever address to the Iranian people on Thursday night. He said, if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, this will be a problem all of us will face. It will change the world, he said in an English-language interview with Washington-based Iran International that was also dubbed in Persian and also broadcast into Iran. Netanyahu said he had a message for those who say, well, if we take action against Iran, we'll face war.

You'll face a war if you don't, a potentially horrible nuclear war if you don't. Iran's nuclear program has hit a danger zone, he said, adding that Israeli actions had delayed them by a decade, but now the program is pushing forward. The international community must deliver a strong common message to Iran, Netanyahu said. Nowhere in his speech did he say that they were 12 days away again or anything like that, Rick. No, he's at the nuclear war stage now. He's determined to bomb Iran. That's the only thing that man wakes up to do. That's what motivates him. He's driven by it.

He cannot let go, Doc. He can't let go. His passion is to destroy Iran. He has a bloodlust to destroy Iran. And he threatens nuclear war. But he doesn't want to send nukes. He wants someone else to do it. But he's not past doing something

that would make somebody do it, like they did with trying to sink the USS Liberty. Saudi Arabia, this is Wall Street Journal. Saudi Arabia seeks U.S. security pledges and nuclear help for peace with Israel. We've not heard anything for months about Saudi Arabia negotiating with the United States. It has appeared for many months that Saudi Arabia was departing its relationship with the United States. Now, the Wall Street Journal comes back today and says, no, Saudi Arabia wants security pledges. Well, I thought we had security pledges in the petrodollar deal.

Well, we used to. And of course, we've been talking about providing nuclear technology to the Saudis for a number of years. But the Wall Street Journal article says this, Saudi Arabia is asking the U.S. to provide security guarantees and help to develop its civilian nuclear program as Washington tries to broker diplomatic relations between the kingdom and Israel. People involved in discussions between the two countries have said... Wait a minute, shouldn't we be bombing Saudi Arabia

if they have a nuclear program? Well, if you're using the logic of the Middle East, then yes. But we don't bomb Israel and they have a nuclear program. But why isn't Israel threatening to bomb Saudi Arabia? Because they've got a deal going on right now. Because Saudi Arabia can't have nuclear reactors.

They can have uranium. They might even have nuclear warheads someday. Well, that's where it leads you. Now, Saudi Arabia has intensified security ties with Israel in recent years with an eye to confronting Iran and sees growing potential for business deals as the kingdom looks to diversify its economy away from oil. Now, if Saudi Arabia, home to the two holiest sites in Islam, were to establish formal ties with Israel, it could send a signal to other Arab and Muslim leaders that they would be free to embrace Israel, while also accelerating U.S.-led efforts to create a regional military alliance to counter Iran. A Saudi-Israel

deal could also extinguish the flickering Palestinian hopes of creating an independent state. Saudi Arabia faces unique pressure to stand firmly with the Palestinians, whose plight resonates with millions of Arabs and Muslims around the world. But Israeli officials say Saudi Arabia hasn't sought significant concessions on the Palestinian issue as part of the talks. Two pro-Israeli American think tank delegations returned from trips to Riyadh late last year, believing the Saudis didn't see the Palestinian issue as paramount. Now, discussion of the Palestinians was pretty dismissive, said John Hanna, National Security Advisor to former Vice President Dick Cheney and a fellow

at the Jewish Institute for National Security for America. Now, Saudi Arabia also wants firm guarantees that the U.S. will come to the kingdom's defense when needed. One option under discussion, naming Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally, a special status given to Israel, Qatar, Jordan, and other countries friendly to U.S. interests. The move would formally make Saudi Arabia a U.S. ally

and give it easier access to American weaponry. So they've become a NATO junior member. Right, the varsity team. But there's also another story today, too. Saudi Arabia and Iran have moved forward to reestablishing diplomatic relations today. Saudi Arabia and Iran? Yes. But this whole story is about...

I know. I'm looking at... So you know who's driving that story? Israel. Israel. So I'm looking at an article from Reuters right here. It says, Iran and Saudi Arabia agree to resume ties in talks brokered by China. Okay, that's curious because this Wall Street Journal article just implied that Saudi Arabia was kissing up to Israel.

And the US, yes. And the US. But another story says they're kissing up to China, and Iran. And reestablishing relationships with Iran. But Mr. Netanyahu wants to blow up Iran. Something is going on here. There's a big change getting ready to take place in the Middle East. Okay, Doc, this next story I read early this morning

on an Australian website, News Australia. Micronesia president accuses Beijing of political warfare and claims Chinese men followed him. Now, the Federation of Micronesia, Doc, it's about 600 small islands in the Pacific, northeast of Australia, east of the Philippines, but a chain of 600 small islands. They only have a population of several hundred thousand people on 600 islands. Why is the Chinese, why are they threatening the president of Micronesia? Why are they following him?

And he says that they're bribing people in his country. The Chinese are trying to establish influence all throughout the Pacific. And so, because there's a war coming, Rick. Micronesia's president has accused China of bribery, harassment, and political warfare

in an explosive letter to his country's legislature. He says, simply put, we are witnessing political warfare in our country. Outgoing leader David Panuello warned lawmakers detailing allegations of Chinese espionage, coercion of government officials, and direct threats against his personal safety. Panuello had previously voiced concerns about Beijing's growing power in the South Pacific,

most notably opposing a security deal that could allow Chinese troops to be deployed to the region. But his letter went much further, warning the incoming government about a barrage of threats that he believes risk making the sparsely populated island federation a vassal state. Now, among the dramatic allegations that Panuello claims his own cabinet colleagues transmitted recordings of bilateral meetings directly to china we are bribed to be complicit bribed to be silent that's a heavy word but it's an accurate description regardless he said look what he said yes he said his presidential cabinet transmitted private recordings of the cabinet meetings.

They sent the recordings to China. I can believe that. The Chinese influence all throughout the Pacific region. They've got spies at high levels of the Philippine government. We know they've influenced Australia. Australia is like China Junior with their COVID camps and everything else. And so, now what else do you call it when an elected official is given an envelope

filled with money after a meal at the People's Republic of China Embassy or after inauguration, he said. He went on to say, he also said he was personally followed by two Chinese men while attending a meeting in Fiji last July. Panuello claimed that both were embassy officials and that one was later identified as an intelligence officer with the Chinese military. And he said, quote, to be clear, I have had direct threats against my personal safety from PRC officials acting in an official capacity. He added also claiming he had to change his phone number because of incessant calls from China's ambassador trying to persuade him to accept Chinese COVID-19 vaccines.

That's interesting. China was determined to get their vaccines into Micronesia before Pfizer got there. Well, it was just something I read this morning and I found it fascinating. While we're on the topic of China, Doc found this story today. Yeah, this is in the New York Post. R found this story today. Yeah, this is in the New York Post. Raining worms. Right.

I've never seen a worm shower, Doc. Well, we have video of this. This is from the New York Post today. Look at this, Rick. This is in the Chinese province of Liaoning. And they don't know what has caused this. They don't know what is going on that would cause a rainstorm of worms. But can you imagine going out to your car, your vehicle, and find it covered in all these gooey worms? And for a lot of people in China, they thought

it was the end of the world seeing this. So then some said there are other options on that. But, you know, we watch for these stories, Rick. Strange things are happening in the world. I think— When's the last time you heard about a big rainstorm of worms? It's been a long time. It's been quite a long time. In fact, I can't recall a single time I've heard of a rainstorm of worms. So's been a long time. It's been quite a long time. In fact, I can't recall a single time

I've heard of a rainstorm of worms. So you would say that's weird. That's really weird. But when we see these things like this in the world around us, I always think these are signs from God saying, be ready. This is another red light on the dashboard.

If the Lord sent a storm of worms, what would the worms represent? I hadn't thought that far about it, but. Think about it. What did Jesus said? What did he say would be waiting for people cast into the lake of fire? Oh, yeah.

Where basically that there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth and continually eaten by worms for eternity. Can you imagine that? There will be people in eternity suffering for eternity and God has created a worm and gave that worm an instruction.

My friend, your job for the rest of forever is to eat. In the lake of fire. Right. And eat. A worm that isn't consumed by fire. Right. But will consume those who are in the lake of fire eternally. But their bodies will reappear. Right. After they've been eaten by worms, their body will reappear. And so these endless worms will have an everlasting flesh buffet. And the people will be in the flesh. And so these endless worms will have an everlasting flesh buffet. And the people will be in the flesh. And that's something that a lot of people don't really think about, Rick,

that they are in the flesh. Being eaten by worms. For eternity. While they're burning. Yes. In darkness, separated from God, forgotten by God. So did he send a rainstorm of worms to China

to say, hey, this is what a lot of worms look like. Consider your ways. God has said that to nations before. Consider your ways. And now that you've seen a rainstorm of worms, you need to consider your ways as well. Quickly, before we got like one and a half minutes, NBC News reporting today the U.S. House passed a measure to declassify U.S. intelligence on the origin of COVID-19. It has already passed the Senate.

It means that this bill is on its way to the White House to be signed or vetoed by Joe Biden. What do you think he'll do, Doc? Oh, he'll veto it because he's Beijing Biden. Oh, if he vetoes this. I'd be surprised if he signs it. Really. I would really be surprised if he does it. Do we have enough?

I don't think we have enough time to show Governor DeSantis. We'll have to hold it over to the second half. He spoke in Iowa and he said that the elites running the world have lied about the lab leak. And he said that Anthony Fauci

needs to be held accountable. Also coming up in the second half, we have updated stories about the bank failures. If you haven't been watching this throughout recent days, banks are starting to go belly up. That is a sure sign that a major financial crisis is in the makings. If you're watching on the Word Network, you can see the second half at truenews.com or on the True News app on your phone. And for those of you watching online,

just hang in there for a couple seconds, and we will be back. Those on the Word Network, here comes Morning Manor. Okay, so we were saying today, if you're watching the Word Network at 5.30 in the morning, and you start out with true news, and we're telling the people, it's going to burn down here right now.

God's sending fire. You're going to be eaten by worms forever. And then at 6 a.m. Hey, good morning. It starts with morning manna. They must think that Doc and I are bipolar. Like those two guys. They can't make up their mind.

Are they, is the world coming to an end or is the morning coming up? Which one is it? It's both. It's both. The world's coming to an end and it's going to be morning forever. That's what's happening.

Okay, so... Well, we were talking about the situation with COVID and Dr. Fauci. Florida Governor DeSantis is in Iowa. Wow, they have a caucus there in the presidential campaign. That's right. And so you're going to start seeing a lot of Republicans showing up in Iowa, but Governor DeSantis is at least making his presence known. And he had something to say about Dr. Fauci and what happened in Wuhan.

Let's watch this. People like Fauci did not want a control group. They were saying lockdown indefinite. They were saying force, allite. They were saying forced all these bad things. And if you have Iowa and Florida doing a different direct way, then people would be able to look and they would be able to evaluate how did that work out. And so we know now today the elites were wrong about lockdowns. They were wrong about forced masking. They were wrong about closing schools. They were wrong about denying natural immunity.

They were wrong about the efficacy of mRNA shots. And they were wrong, and indeed, they lied about the lab leak. They said it was natural. We know it came from that lab. And I think we need some accountability here. Fauci needs to be held accountable. Praise God. And he's making that a major stump speech now. Somebody give that man a Fauci elf. He needs to campaign with a Fauci elf in his hand. Yes, hold it in your hand.

I mean, he was the inspiration for the falchion yeah because he tossed that elf across the potomac that's right all right let's talk about uh banks because uh there's some serious stuff happening in recent days and uh particularly today if you're watching here on friday uh we'll start with a Wall Street Journal article, Silicon Valley Bank closed by regulators. FDIC takes control. We haven't seen this since the 2008 banking crisis where the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation declares a bank insolvent and federal regulators go in and literally take over the bank and shut it down. Right.

That happened on Friday with the Silicon Valley Bank. Right. So Silicon Valley Bank collapsed Friday in the second biggest bank failure in U.S. history. After a run on deposits doomed the tech-focused lender's plans to raise fresh capital. Now, the FDIC said it has taken control of the bank via a new entity it created called the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara. All of the bank's deposits have been transferred to the new bank, the regulator said.

He said, now the FDIC says, insured depositors will have access to their funds by Monday morning. Depositors with funds exceeding insurance caps will get receivership certificates for their uninsured balances. Would that make you feel good, Rick? Okay, so what does that mean? The FDIC insures bank accounts up to $250,000. Right.

So if you have money in the bank, you can get $250,000 out, compliments of the FDIC. Okay, what if you have a million dollars in the bank? You get $250,000 cash and $750,000 in receivership certificates. That doesn't mean you have access to $750,000. No, because you are now an uninsured holder of debt. Uninsured. Right. Okay?

You're in the back of the line. Remember about bank bail-ins? Right. You're going to see this come in place. The depositors are last. Last in line. The people who put the money in the bank are, last in line. The people who put the money in the bank are the last in line.

All the other snakes will get their money before the depositors. That's right. A bank bail-in is when the government seizes your money to pay the bank's debts. A bank bailout is when the government seizes your money through taxes, right? They use tax money to bail out a bank. A bank bail-in is...

They use the depositors' money. And that all changed after the 2008 crisis. Because they weren't going to bail out the banks anymore. That's right. And we warned our true news audience over a decade ago. The next bank runs, you

will not be protected. Doc, I sat here, well not in this place because I wasn't in this building, but ten years ago. Warning. Remember those days. They passed a bank bail-in mechanism, a bank bail-in scheme.

They're going to take your deposits. And not only your cash deposits that you have, they can take even your safety deposit boxes. Oh, yes. Take all of it. Because that becomes basically part of the receivership. Wouldn't it be, if we had a banking crisis this year, wouldn't that be the perfect cover story to introduce a CBDC? It sure would.

Gee, folks, we're sorry. The banking system collapsed. But you can trust this. But we have a new money system. The Federal Reserve has invented the central bank digital coin

and it just happened, just by coincidence, it happened at the same time the banking system imploded. Aren't you glad that we were ahead of the game? I have a feeling it's coming. But what happened on Friday is pretty scary. I watched this throughout the day. And you start thinking, should I go get money out of the bank?

And not just Silicon Valley. No, get money out of your bank, And not just Silicon Valley. No, get money out of your bank. Every bank. Wherever you have your money. And that's what's been happening over the past couple days. The top four major banks have lost $100 billion in assets.

And major European banks have lost about $50 billion. Now, Silicon Valley Bank is the U.S.'s 16th largest, and as of December 31st, it had over $209 billion in assets. It is the biggest bank to fail since the near collapse of the financial system in 2008, second only to the crisis shutdown of Washington Mutual. Think about this, Doc. Today, Friday, the 16th biggest bank in America was declared insolvent. There's only 15 other banks bigger.

Now, we'll share with you how quickly this can happen, because this all occurred within a week. The bank's parent company, SVB Financial Group, was racing to find a buyer after scrapping a planned $2.25 billion share sale Friday. Regulators weren't willing to wait. So the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation closed the bank Friday and put it under control of the FDIC. So let's go back a few days. SVB, based in Santa Clara earlier this week, surprised investors by announcing that it lost nearly $2 billion selling assets following a larger than expected decline in deposits. Now, the stock has lost more than 80% since then,

and tech clients rushed to pull their deposits over concerns about the bank's health. In fact, it was so bad, up in New York City, they had to call the cops out because depositors said, we want our money. And, Doc, it wasn't just average depositors. It was the co-founders of the bank. Yes. People that were there at the beginning.

The super wealthy who put the money in to start the bank showed up this morning saying, we want our money. And it got so rowdy, they called the police. So this is from the New York Post. New York PD called the Silicon Valley Bank branch as depositors attempt to pull their cash. Building managers at Silicon Valley Bank's Manhattan branch reportedly called the police Friday morning after a group of tech founders showed up and attempted to pull out their cash. So police responded after a group of about a dozen founders went to SVB's Manhattan location on Park Avenue. This is Park Avenue. That's right, right?

In the heart of Manhattan. Where you always have riots. Right. So one of the founders was former Lyft executive Dora Levi, who provided newcomer with text updates from the scene. The SVB blocked Levi and others who gathered from entering the building. By around 9.20, building officials called the police and a pair of New York Police Department vehicles had arrived. Levi said the police were very friendly and instructed one person who didn't want to leave SVB's offices that they had to exit the building. Levick told a newcomer that he went to the branch after one of the institution's bankers told him

to go and get a cashier's check from the New York office if he wanted to move his funds. Levi reportedly added that there were more founders coming every minute before the police response. Doc, why would a bank call the police to forcibly remove the founders of the bank? Were they breaking the law? Was the bank open? Did they smash the windows of the bank and go in before the bank opened up? No, based on the story, they just wanted their money. The bank was open

and they walked into the bank and said, give us our money. And the bank said, we're going to call the police. Do you know how bad it is when the bank calls the police on you when you go to the bank to withdraw your cash?

I mean, what were the charges that the police were you when you go to the bank to withdraw your cash? I mean, what were the charges that the police were going to use against them? Probably trespassing. But how can you be trespassing if you're a depositor at the bank? And not only are you a depositor, you're one of the founders of the bank. How can you be trespassing?

Well, there's one other? And the bank is open. Bank hours on the wall outside, open nine to five. How can you order people to leave? I mean, wouldn't the police say to the bank managers,

these people aren't doing anything wrong. They're customers. They want their money. You're the one doing something wrong. They're customers. They want their money. You're the one doing something wrong, Mr. Banker. You're refusing to give them their money. Apparently, maybe they closed the branch and they were just sitting there waiting. No, they were in the... That is true.

They were in the money. They were inside. They got there early. Well, one other aspect of the story from that New York Post article, listen to this. Newcomer said he had spoken to a major investor who said that about 10 of his portfolio companies had pulled out about $1.5 billion from Silicon Valley Bank. The company put in their request around 6 p.m. Eastern time Thursday and got their money this morning. And that's why they didn't have any money Friday morning today.

Right. Because one of their co-founders was smarter than them and got his $1.5 billion out this morning. But he took the action last night. night. He knew it was going down. You know, I think of that scene in It's a Wonderful Life, you know, where there's a run on the Bailey Savings and Loan and everything, and you've got Jimmy Stewart up there, and he said, your money's not here, Bob. It's over in George's house, and it's down here in the hardware store, and it's here. But apparently, George Bailey, he's giving out $20 bills. You can live for a little while, right?

But apparently, SVB got completely cleaned out. They had no money to give anybody, especially the founders. This is an incredible thing, And it's having a ripple effect on all the other banks as well. So one guy this morning had a cash withdrawal ticket for $1.5

billion. And got it. And he got it. And it shut down the bank. So what's going to happen Monday? This is not the end of it. So what's going to happen Monday? This is not the end of it. So- Here's part two. Just a few days ago, I guess, was it Wednesday? Right. Silvergate Bank, another crypto-focused bank, it went belly up. It announced it was shutting down, ending operations and liquidating.

They didn't get taken over by the FDIC. They just said, you know what, we're out of money. We're broke. We're locking the doors. And that's it. It's over. Here's a short report from CNBC. So what we're looking at is a voluntary liquidation. Silvergate says that all bank deposits will be fully repaid. The company did not say how it plans to resolve claims against its business, but it did refer to the overall process as a, quote, orderly wind down of bank operations. The liquidation comes less than a week after Silvergate discontinued its popular real-time payments platform known as the Silvergate Exchange Network. Now, that was considered to be one of its core offerings. Silvergate did add that all other deposit-related services remain operational as the bank shuts down. This is really the culmination of months of major setbacks for the company, whose stock is down more than 95 percent over the past year.

And just last week, Silvergate delayed its annual 10K filing, citing multiple headwinds, including an investigation underway now by the DOJ in relation to its dealings with FTX, a former customer that's, of course, now bankrupt and facing criminal fraud allegations. In the last few days, Frank, a lot of Silvergate's big name customers have jumped ship Coinbase, Galaxy Digital, Gemini, Circle, Crypto.com and Paxos, among others. Yeah, so a lot of issues there. We've known those issues have existed at Silvergate for quite a bit. Just how significant is it that the banks actually folded? And should investors worry about any ripple effects in the crypto area at all? Yeah, so this is a major blow to an already distressed crypto industry. For almost a decade, Silvergate, a traditional federally insured lender, was one of the key gateways connecting crypto exchanges and firms to mainstream banking. And while it did build a big part of its business on letting volatile crypto companies bank with it, it also invested in safer bets like treasuries. So now that it's collapsed, some folks in the crypto

industry are worried. Gaining access to the traditional banking system has always been problematic for crypto companies. You have the Wall Street Journal reporting that the firms behind Tether apparently falsified documents and used shelled companies just to open bank accounts. Silvergate Folding is very likely going to put even more of a microscope on banks that work with crypto companies. You've got Signature, which is another crypto-focused bank that's actually much larger than Silvergate, with $114 billion in assets compared to Silvergate's $11 billion. But its stock is also under heavy selling pressure this morning, and shares are down more than 60% this year. So the market may be handicapping another collapse. So we're looking at the stocks right now. How's all this impacting the price of the

crypto assets themselves? So Bitcoin, Ether, and other major crypto coins are all under pressure this morning. Singling out the volatile moves in Bitcoin specifically, it's now below that $22,000 threshold and down more than 7% this week. And just getting word this morning, Frank, that transfer volume denominated in Bitcoin is down 35% over the past 24 hours, with total transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain down 17% in the same time. Also watching crypto companies outside of the banks. So you've got Coinbase, MicroStrategy and Riot Platforms all falling ahead of the open. So some troubling signals here, Frank. OK, so that CNBC report several days old because today Bitcoin is down. It dropped under the twenty thousand dollar range. It was in 19, somewhere around, I don't know, 19,800 the last time I

looked before coming out here and some of the other altcoins down substantially. The report mentions Signature Bank. That's another bank that's in trouble. Again, that report's several days old that we just watched. But today on Friday, Signature Bank is in serious trouble. There's also some crypto stable coins that are not too stable right now. Crypto unstable coins. So stable coins are supposed to be tethered to the dollar. One coin equals one dollar right now um there's there's several of them that are in very shaky condition um something part of the problem was that they've take some of these different investment firms have taken stable coin locked money and had them backed up with u.s government bonds which aren't paying anything isn't it Doc, this all started months ago with Sam Bankman Freed. Yes. And it's like

they pulled a string out and the whole thing is unraveling now. And he is bringing down the crypto industry right now. Dan, this has memories of the dot-com collapse. Yes. But this time, I mean, it's real

people's money that's out there. It's not only these banks that shut down, like Silvergate and SVB, but Wells Fargo had an unexplained problem today with direct deposits. I saw this article. Some Wells Fargo customers report missing deposits. Right. Now, some Wells Fargo customers woke up Friday morning to find deposits missing from their checking accounts. So in a statement to NBC, the bank acknowledged some direct deposit transactions were not showing up in accounts

and that they were working on a resolution. Wells Fargo said the accounts were safe and secure. Upset customers began reaching out to the bank on social media overnight to report recent deposits that had been listed in their account for now missing or deposit. Now, they were in there, but now they were missing. Or deposits that were expected Friday were not there,

affecting what they showed as the available balance. Now, in a statement to customers early Friday morning, the bank said the missing deposits were due to an unspecified technical issue. If you see incorrect balances or missing transactions, this may be due to a technical issue, may be due to a technical issue, and we apologize. Your accounts continue to be secure, and we're working quickly on a resolution, the bank said in a statement posted to customers on the website. Okay, let's say it is a glitch.

Okay. What a lousy time to have a glitch at a major bank. Yes. When other banks are going under. Right. Because the first thing I thought when I saw that is, oh, no. Wells Fargo doesn't have the money to transfer deposits like paycheck deposits? That was the first thought in my mind.

Like, what is happening today? But you know, these missing deposits, this reminded me of a story back in January. Remember when Bank of America had the same problem? About second, third week of January,

people were trying to get money out of their account and it showed a deposit gone in and then went missing again. So this isn't the first time it's happened. So now what you have to do is constantly watch your bank accounts. And you might even be so particular

that you take screenshots of your statements every day. That's probably good. If I had more time, I would tell you a true story about Wells Fargo. When almost $100,000 of this ministry's money disappeared, money that we raised to build a house for a homeless family. The husband had died.

The mom and her children were living in a school bus with no heat, no electricity, no air conditioning. And we raised through this ministry's supporters, we raised almost $100,000 to buy her house and furniture and everything. And, Doc, I went to transfer the money to the home builder. Right. And the money was gone. Just wasn't there. It wasn't there. And Wells Fargo deliberately removed it.

This happened a long time ago. This happened in 1999. Okay. What was their reasoning? I talked to their fraud department. One of their little smucker, smuck, whatever. He was obnoxious, little twerp. I still remember how obnoxious he was.

And he said, well, there's something suspicious about this. I go, well, what's suspicious? He said, because we'd only been on the radio a couple months. He goes, you have a very small account, and suddenly you have $100,000 in your account, and it just appeared in a couple weeks. I go, well, what's suspicious about it? People donated. We're raising money to build a house for somebody. He goes, well, I froze the money, and I removed it from your account until I can verify that this is legitimate. I said, you're a thief.

Fortunately, the Holy Spirit told me one day, I'm walking in a parking lot. This is in Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas. I live there. I'm walking through a parking lot and I'm going past a Wells Fargo bank and they've got an ATM machine in the front of the bank outside. And the Holy Spirit said, go print out a balance page of your bank account for the ministry. And I remember saying,

Lord, I know how much is there. I checked it this morning. And again, the Holy Spirit said, go print it out. I did. And all the money that had been donated for that house was there. The next day, I'm in front of another Wells Fargo bank and the Lord says the same thing. And I said, Father, I already have it. You told me to do that yesterday. And he's like, go do it, son. I did it and it's zero. Okay.

I went into the bank and I told the teller, I said, I have a problem. And I told her what was happening. And she said, no, you don't have any money missing. I go, yes, I do. She goes, no, I just looked at your account on her computer. She said, you don't have any money in your account. I go, yes, it's missing. I'm trying to tell you. About $100,000 is missing. And she goes, no,

there's no record you ever deposited $100,000. So they even erased the- They erased the record. So I had the two balance sheets and I laid them on the counter. I said, that's yesterday. She looked at it. She went into the bank manager's office, whispered in her ear, it was a woman managing the bank. The manager came out and she said,

Mr. Wells, I don't know what's wrong here, but you don't have any money in your account. I said, I've been robbed. I said it really loud. I said it in a bank. In a bank, in a bank. I said, I've been robbed. $100,000 was stolen from my,

I said it really loud. I said, I'm going to call the police. I've been robbed. Did the people in the drive-thru hear you? Oh, I made a scene. I made a scene. She's like rushing me into her office and trying, I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

I said, oh, I know you are. I know you are. So nothing happened for a day. Next day, I'm on the radio. I said, oh, I know you are. I know you are. So nothing happened for a day. Next day, I'm on the radio. I was on one radio station that time in Dallas, Fort Worth, 7.30 in the morning, 7.30, 8.30 in the morning. I'd only been on the radio a couple of months. So you know me, Doc. I ain't keeping a secret. I told the whole state of Texas what happened. I said, Wells Fargo robbed you. You and you and you, all you good people that donated the money to buy the house for the woman with five kids living in a bus.

We raised the money in a matter of 30 days. And Wells Fargo took the money. I told the whole story live on radio. in a matter of 30 days, and Wells Fargo took the money. I told the whole story live on radio. So a couple hours later, I got a phone call from a good old boy out in East Texas, and I don't remember his name. And he told me, he said, my granddad, or maybe it might have been his great granddad, or maybe it might have been his great granddad,

was the first person to strike oil in East Texas. He said, my family has over $100 million in a bank account in Wells Fargo. And he said, Rick, I just want you to know that I just got off the phone with the president of Wells Fargo in San Francisco. And I told him what Wells Fargo did to you. And I told him he had one hour to put the money back in your account or I would remove $100 million. He said, call me back in an hour.

And Wells Fargo put the money back in the account. And then for hours, I got calls from Wells Fargo officials. Mr. Wiles, is there anything I can do for you? You want me to come over and wash your pickup truck? Want me to take your dog to a groomer? What do you want? Oh, I mean, they were just oozing nice stuff. Okay, we're so sorry it happened.

It was a mistake. It was a young man in the department. He was just a little bit overzealous. It should never have happened to you. The intriguing thing about the story, Rick, is they... They took the money. No, they took the money. They erased it. They erased the money.

And if the Holy Spirit had not told me the day before to print out the bank balance, I would have had no evidence. And the audience would have thought you basically stole. That I stole it. And I would have had no evidence to go to court and say,

Wells Fargo took the money. Praise God. Aren't you glad he watches out for us? Yeah. Listen to the Holy Spirit. This is what I'm telling you folks right now. When you hear stories that like Wells Fargo, it could be any bank, well, don't worry that there's some deposits

missing. We'll find them and get them back in. No, they only have one job, and that's to make sure that there's money in the bank. Yes, that's their only job. That's their only job. That's their only job, but when you're doing it in digits, and it's all electronic, they can do what they want

to do. Print your balance out, take a screenshot of your balance every day if you have to, because right now something weird and squirrely is happening. I'm going to give you just two more stories before we wrap it up and go home. Number 48, Cointelegraph. CBDCs, that's Central Bank Digital Coins, could be easily weaponized to spy on U.S. citizens, according to a U.S. congressman. That congressman is Congressman Tom Emmer.

Yes, and he said that he believes that the launch of programmable central bank digital currency in the country could strip American citizens of their financial privacy. Speaking on March 9th at the Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, Emmer explained that the programmable CBDC would be easily weaponized as a spying tool to choke out politically unpopular activity, among other things. As the federal government seeks to maintain and expand financial control, to which it has grown accustomed, the idea of the central bank digital currency has gained traction within the institutions of power in the U.S. as a government-controlled programmable money that can easily be weaponized into a surveillance tool. Folks, if this gets implemented, you won't have to worry about Wells Fargo anymore

or Bank of America or Silicon Valley Bank because they won't exist. The Federal Reserve will be the bank. And who owns the Federal Reserve? JPMorgan Chase, all the big banks. It's not that they're going away, Doc. No. They're just merging. That's right. They're merging into one super bank. One super bank. And you will have your bank account through the Federal Reserve. We've got a short video clip of Congressman Emmer warning about what this uh federal reserve cbdc coin could do to you

i thank you chairman hill and ranking member lynch for holding this important hearing today and thank you again to our witnesses for your testimony crypto technology is shifting economic power from centralized institutions back into the hands of the people. It's transformational, and it can be threatening to unelected bureaucrats and, quite frankly, some elected people here in Washington, D.C. This threat is most saliently observed through several recent administrative actions. On January 3, 2023, the Fed, FDIC, and the OCC issued a statement discouraging banks from holding crypto or servicing crypto clients on a, quote, safety and soundness basis. On February 7th, 2023, the Federal Reserve published a statement in the Federal Register seemingly

turning this perspective into a final rule without following the public comment process outlined in the Administrative Procedure Act. In the midst of this, on January 27, 2023, the White House National Economic Council published, quote, the administration's roadmap to mitigate's risks. This report summarizes President Biden's political plan to lawlessly abuse the administrative state to push American crypto firms and their United States customers into offshore, unregulated, opaque, and unsafe markets. These recent actions are an explicit display of what Congress and the American people already noticed. This administration is weaponizing the banking sector to debank legal crypto activity here in the U.S., using scare tactics to run an entire industry out of the country. And the collapse of FTX should warn us of the vulnerable position we are putting American consumers in when we don't compete to

keep crypto firms on shore. Clearly, the administration's policies are motivated by a thirst for increased control over the American people, because here in Congress, crypto is not partisan. Republicans and Democrats have an eight-year history of working productively together on solutions to this space. What I'd like to hear the good congressmen say is that the Federal Reserve does not have the constitutional authority to introduce a CBDC crypto coin. Because the Federal Reserve does not even have the constitutional authority to print banknotes. That's right. Only the Congress, it's in the Constitution, only the Congress can authorize the printing of money. And the states can only pay their debts with gold and silver. It's in the Constitution.

But. We ignore other parts of the Constitution. We ignore most of it. The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional. We really are a democracy. And democracy is mob rule. You hear Mr. Tout, we live in a democracy. Well, it's a very small mob.

Well, but it's still a mob. It's the elite mob. It's a good point. It's a mob of the elite running the country. One more, I'm going to wrap it up here with this one. This is number 53. Financial Times, London. J.P. Morgan sues Jess Staley for damages tied to Epstein lawsuit.

Remember yesterday we told you that a judge ordered J.P. Morgan Chase to turn over Jamie Diamond's records in this lawsuit? So today, J.P. Morgan sued Jess Staley, who used to be a J.P. Morgan executive. So there's something really big going on inside J.P. Morgan over Jeffrey Epstein. We're just at the beginning stage. But, Doc, the other thing I was thinking a few minutes ago, as these banks are collapsing, what have we been saying for years and years and years? The banksters know that their system is imploding.

They've milked it. They've sucked the money out of the American middle class. They've used usury to enslave the people with interests and debt. Or confiscated assets through war. Yes, confiscated assets. They've transferred the wealth of the people into the hands of a small group of robber barons. They know the system is imploding.

What do you need? You need a war. You need a war. A big one. And so right at the same time that banks started failing today, we read NATO troops are going to go into Ukraine. We're going to get our war. Because the banks are failing. They have to have a war. See, a war provides a lot of opportunity for banksters. It provides them an opportunity to eliminate depositors. It provides them an opportunity to

reacquire assets, privately owned assets from people because you're in a war environment. You're just resetting the books. That's right. You're taking the books and you're burning them and opening up some new books. If America owes China billions of dollars and you blow up China with nuclear weapons, you don't owe the money anymore.

That's right. It's over. It's been wiped out. That's where we're at. These clowns, these are really scary clowns. They're going to start a war because their financial system is imploding. And the first bank went down today. Hang on for next week. There's going to be more banks going under. That's it for today. You know what I'm going to say to you? It's the weekend.

Turn off the news. Turn on the Bible. Spend time with Jesus Christ. Be alone with him. Be quiet. Go someplace that's quiet and just be still. Read the word of God. Pray.

Just talk to your father. Just talk to him as your father. And just spend the weekend being with the Lord. Go to church. Watch New Zion. That's right. I'm talking about love this Sunday. Yeah.

Doc's pastoring with New Zion, and he's preaching every week. Just devote your weekend to the Lord and be with the people you love. Just spend time with the people you love. Turn off the phone, turn off the videos and pay attention to the people you love. That's my advice for you. And then we'll be back here Monday

and we'll tell you more bad news. I love you. Goodbye. See you Monday. God bless you. Goodbye. See you Monday. God bless you. Welcome to Morning Manor. Jesus Christ is the living bread that came down from heaven. Anybody who eats this bread will live forever.

Nourish your soul each weekday with Morning Manna. Here are your Bible teachers, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart. This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Hello, everybody. My name is Rick Wiles, and this weekday television program is devoted to making ready a people prepared for the Lord. That's because King Jesus will return to earth someday to gather his elect. And you and I must be remnant ready when he arrives.

Jesus Christ has a remnant church that will triumphantly endure to the end. Now we invite you to join us every weekday morning to study the word of God. Serving God is much easier than many people think. Remember the words of the old hymn, trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.

We have a simple motto here at Morning Manna, shine brightly, taste salty, love everybody. Well, Dr. Raymond Burkhardt and I have been studying the parables of Jesus for several weeks, and today we will discuss the parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the pearl of great price. Doc will open the Bible study by reading from the 13th chapter of the gospel of Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew verses 45, excuse me, verses 44 and 45. Thanks, Rick. So if you've got your Bibles, open again to Matthew

chapter 13 as we begin a brand new week of Bible study. Again, the kingdom of heaven is likened to treasure hid in a field, the which when a man hath found, he hideth. And for the joy thereof goeth and sells all that he hath and buyeth that field. And then the following verse, it's the parable of the pearl of great price. And it says again, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a merchant man seeking goodly pearls,

who when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. So two parables there often paired together, and Jesus connects them by saying again. Again. And so he's emphasizing the same point two times. So this is where we're at in our Bible study for this brand new week here.

Doc, I love studying the parables. It's really my favorite topic in the Bible. Right. And Jesus said, it's given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. And the parables are meant to teach us on the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, we have the promise of God that we will understand the parables. Right. And so we can ask, the disciples asked the Lord for an understanding of it. And weables. Right. And so we can ask, the disciples ask the Lord for an understanding of it. And we now through the Holy Spirit, we can ask. And we also have the word too, the word of God, the words that Jesus spoke and that the apostles wrote, the apostles doctrine, and we can use the word of God and the Holy Spirit to help us discern what the parables are saying for us today.

And we have something else that the disciples did not have at the time that Jesus spoke the parables. We have the Holy Spirit in us. They did not at the time he spoke. Now they received the Holy Spirit later, Pentecost, but at the time that he taught, the first time when he taught the parables, they didn't have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of them. So let's go back.

I want to set the stage for our study of these two parables today because for the past two weeks, we've been talking about the parables in the 13th chapter of Matthew. And what we see are in the beginning of Matthew, there are four parables. Right. The parable of the sower, the parable of the tares, the parable of the mustard seed, and the parable of the yeast. Right.

Now, those parables, Doc, those first four, Jesus delivered them to the general public. That's right. He was at the seaside. He was on the boat and was teaching openly these four parables. Yeah, so Matthew 13, verses one and two and three. That same day, Jesus went out of the house. He was in his house.

Right. He went out of the house. He was in his house. Right. He went out of the house. The crowd was outside. Jesus sat beside the sea. Great crowds assembled around him so that he went into a boat and sat there. And the whole assembly stood on the shore. Then he told them many things in parables. And then started the one with the parable of the sower from that point. That's right, which we learn in the gospel according to Mark.

That's the master key. You have to understand the parable of the sower if you're going to unlock the meaning of all the other ones. So then in verse 10, the disciples came and said to him, why do you speak to them in parables? So apparently they were on the boat with him, maybe. So he was on the boat teaching. Or they were very close, but they were puzzled. This is new, boss. He hadn't done this before.

Right. This was a totally new, this was a game changer. You're right about that. This was the first time he had introduced his parabolic teaching method. And so they were puzzled. And so after he had delivered the parable of the sower, his disciples came to him and said, why are you speaking to the crowds in parables?

In other words, why are you talking to them in riddles? They don't understand. We don't even understand what you're talking about. And then this is when Jesus said, it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. Right there, my dear friend. You have the promise of Jesus Christ that you will understand the mysteries of his kingdom. You don't ever say, I'm ignorant. I don't understand these things. This is too hard for me. Jesus said, it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.

But to them, pointing to the general public, it is not given. He said, for to him who has, more will be given, and to him who has, and he will have abundance, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. In other words, those who are pursuing knowledge of God will be given more. Those who don't care what little bit of knowledge that they have, God will take it from them. And I know that is difficult for some people to understand but that's what Jesus said. If you don't appreciate him, if you don't value him, he'll take what little knowledge you have of him

and he'll take it away from you. So now he goes to, he explains the parable of the sower and he's explained this to the public and then he gives the par this to the public. Then he gives the parable of the weeds. Then the parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the yeast. And then you get down to verse 34.

Jesus said, all these things to the crowds in parables. This is all being spoken to the public. And another thing I want you to remember, if a preacher comes on TV and he's got a book for sale that unlocks the mysteries, and only he's got the mysteries.

He's got the key to the mysteries. And you got to give him $25 to get the key. Just turn the channel. Just turn the channel. God doesn't have any mysteries that he's keeping from you and me and giving it to one person. He said it is for the whole church to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. So don't fall for that line. When you see somebody selling you merchandise that promises to share with you the mysteries that only this one preacher has, that's a lie from hell. God said it is for you to know the mysteries. Nothing's secret. He put it all in a book. It's all here. Look, everything you need to know is in this book.

It's all right here. And all you have to do is pursue knowledge of God. First, this is where you learn him the most. Learn him through his word. He is the word. The word is him. You can't separate the two. So you get down to verse 34.

Jesus said all these things to the crowds in parables, and without a parable, he did not speak to them. Doc, from this point on, if he didn't deliver a parable, he kept his mouth shut. Right. Unless it was interchanged with the Pharisees or something like that. But when he was teaching.

Yes, he used parables from this point on. He'd been a preacher up to this point. Basically giving sermons, answering questions, teaching. But now he's changed his method. That's right. And then he says, I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things which have been kept secret since the foundation of the world. So what things have been kept secret since the foundation of the world, Rick?

The kingdom. That's right. The mystery of the kingdom. Because up to this point, the idea of a kingdom was a physical, you know, you have a king, you have a possession of land, it has a boundary, it has a people, but in a physical sense. The only thing that the Jewish people knew at that time about a kingdom was the Davidic kingdom. Right. King David, they wanted, they wanted with all their being, they wanted God to restore the Davidic kingdom. They wanted the power, the glory, the land,

the wealth, the prestige of the Davidic kingdom. And they were waiting on a Messiah who they believed would deliver them, deliver the kingdom back to them. But for the Jews, they were waiting for a political kingdom. And Judas was one of them. He was a zealot. I believe the reason Judas betrayed Jesus is that he came to the conclusion, Jesus is not going to take on the Roman empire. We're backing, I think he's, we're backing a loser. And he went to the Jewish rulers and said, you know what? He's not going to do it. He's not going to take on the Roman Empire.

I'm with you guys. But they were looking for a physical king. And Jesus came as the king, but he was lowly and meek. And he offered them the kingdom of God. And they didn't want it because they couldn't understand it. They couldn't grasp what he was offering them. And that's what the parables are about. And so now we get to this part. Verse 36, then Jesus sent the crowds away. Going home.

Go, go, go, go. All right, that's it for today. Go home. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Then Jesus sent the crowds away and went back into the house. Yes. And his disciples came to him saying,

explain to us the parable of the weeds, the parable of the tares of the field. So then he explains. The parable of the tares. It's interesting, Rick, that Jesus publicly explained the parable of the sower. He publicly explained it, but he did not publicly explain these other parables that are listed here. That's right. So what are your thoughts on that? Because he's now teaching at a deeper level how his kingdom will be contaminated by the world on earth. The kingdom of heaven is in that gap between his first advent and the second advent.

That's the kingdom of heaven. So John the Baptist was proclaiming, repent. For the kingdom of heaven is come. The kingdom of heaven is come. And then Jesus came. And he's saying, repent. For the kingdom of heaven is come. The kingdom of heaven has come. And then Jesus came. And he's saying, repent. The kingdom is nigh. The kingdom is here.

If you're still waiting on the kingdom, it's already here. The kingdom of heaven is now. And if you're a believer and you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, you are a citizen of that kingdom. You've got a passport. You've got a driver's license. You've got everything in the kingdom.

Yeah, you're in. Personally, I believe, you know, what's the difference, kingdom of heaven, kingdom of God? I believe the kingdom of heaven is a subset inside the kingdom of God. The kingdom of heaven is for this church age between the first advent and the second advent. That's my personal belief about it.

That when Christ comes back, you no longer have the kingdom of heaven because the full manifestation of the kingdom of God has arrived. Plus, heaven and earth will have passed away. There's no longer a necessity for a kingdom of heaven on earth. There you go. Good point. Very good point. So at this place, Jesus has gone back into the house. His disciples ask him, hey, tell us the meaning of the parable of the tares.

He gives the interpretation, which talks about the end of the world. And what we learned about this is the reaper angels are going to come and pull up those that pretend to be Christians that look like wheat, that are mingled in with the wheat, and they're going to be pulled up on the day of judgment. This is not a secret pre-trib rapture. This is the one and only time

Jesus Christ comes back. He doesn't pull up weeds and then come back seven years later and get the wheat. Happens at the same time. Or maybe I should reverse that. He doesn't come and, because the pre-trib rapture, he doesn't come and pull up the

wheat and then come back seven years later to get the weeds. He, that's probably right. He does it all at the same time. It's simultaneous. Now we get to the parable of the hidden treasure. So at this point, Doc, before coming back into the house, when he's outside,

he's taught four parables to the public. Yes. He then comes into the house and teaches four parables in the privacy of the house. He teaches the parable of the hidden treasure, the parable of the pearl great price, the parable of the net, and the parable of treasures new and old. That's all inside the house. Public didn't hear any of it. And that's, so today we're talking about the parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the pearl of great price.

And it's interesting he taught these two parables immediately after he gave the interpretation of the parable of the tares. Tares, we're talking about the end of the world. The parable of the net also talks about the end of the world too. Absolutely. I can't wait to get to that one. That's tomorrow.

And he gives the interpretation of that. But these two are right between those two parables there. So do you think there's a connection to the end times, the last days for these parables there. So do you think there's a connection to the end times, the last days, for these parables compared with the others? I think all the parables teach us about the last days. I agree with you.

I think they all do. It's prophecies into parables. And that's why we should study them to understand the kingdom now and the second coming of Jesus Christ. So let's look at the parable of a hidden treasure. We'll put it back up on screen. This is verse 44. Yes. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hid in a field,

to which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field. Okay, so we go back to our key. We've been teaching for two weeks that the the figures the elements the objects that are in the parables always remain the same the field doesn't mean one thing in this parable and something else in another parable the sower is not one person in this parable another person in another parable they're always the same right so with So with that understanding, we look at this, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field. All right. Now we've heard about fields before in parables. Where have we heard a field before,

Rick? In the sower. Right. And the tares. Yes. Because in the sower, Jesus is the sower, sowing seed in the world, in the field. The field is the world. He tells us the field is the world. In verse 38, he makes it very clear. The field is the world. And then in the parable of the tares, there are two sowers, but they're both sowing in the same field. And the field is the world. He makes that clear in that as well.

Now, what is the standard general interpretation by most people of this particular verse, Rick? I know I've heard various interpretations and everything. What do you think is the most common explanation that most teachers give today. The one I was always taught, and I just assumed that it was true, and you shouldn't assume anything is true until you find out, is that the treasure is a salvation. The treasure is the kingdom of God and it's hidden. And there's a man who discovers salvation. Right.

And he gets so excited about salvation. He goes and, you know. Sells everything he has. Sells everything he's got and gives up everything so he can have salvation. That's what I've been taught. One other explanation I've heard is that the treasure is the Word of God. And the field is men's hearts. And that when you experience by faith the Word of God,

you do anything you can to grab a hold of that treasure, even sell everything that you have to have that treasure. I've not heard that one. So these are a couple different. There's different ones in this too. But probably the standard one in most churches is that the treasure is salvation. Or the treasure is Jesus. And the man are sinners.

The man represents sinners who discover Jesus, discover salvation, and gets excited about the fact that all their sins can be forgiven, they can be saved, and they give up everything to believe in Jesus. That to me is the predominant interpretation of that scripture. However, those interpretations ignore the explanation that Jesus gives about understanding the parables. As you said, we have to understand the parable of the sword to understand all parables. So he gave us that information first. And he gave an interpretation for that parable

to everybody that was listening at that particular time. So he made it clear, you have to understand this. And you have to understand the word pictures I'm using. And I use the same thing over and over again. In this, he talks about a field. So if that's the case, if there's a field here, then what is the field?

If it relates to the same field that's in all the other parables. The field is the world. It's as plain as night and day. Then the standard interpretation would mean that salvation is hidden in the world. It's as plain as night and day. The field is the world. Then the standard interpretation would mean that salvation is hidden in the world. Well, you'd have to take it that way unless they're wrong about what's being hidden in the field and who the man is.

That's what we need to discern. What we do know is that the field is the world. What is being hidden in the world? A treasure, it says. And that word treasure is interesting because it's the same word that we use for the thesaurus. You know, a thesaurus where you find similar words and everything. It's a, a thesaurus is a treasury of words.

Oh, okay. Okay, so that's where we get that same word from. And Jesus talks about treasure and other scriptures as well. Whatever you treasure in your heart, that's what you will serve. And even in the parable of the talents, the word treasure comes up as well too. So it's a common word that Jesus uses in a number of his parables, some that we'll be talking about later on, but it means a container that holds treasure. Think of, I like to think of it like a pirate chest. It wasn't a pirate chest, but I like to think of

it that way. It's a big container that holds something valuable. And I saw several teachers that talked about this, that here's a man, he's walking a field and he stumbles across this treasure, accidentally stumbles across it. Look what I found here. I found a treasure, and now I'm gonna, a treasure that had been hidden,

and I'm gonna take this treasure, I'm going to, a treasure that had been hidden, and I'm going to take this treasure, I'm going to hide it somewhere else. I've heard that explanation too, Rick. And that just didn't make any sense either. But if you understand that the field is the world, then you have to ask yourself, who is the man? Well, in the other parables, the man is Jesus. That's right. So you have to conclude that the man is jesus christ he is he is in his field the world and he sees a treasure that's hidden in the world yes

and he buys he sells everything that he has which would be jesus jesus sells everything that he has, which would be Jesus. Jesus sells everything that he has so that he can buy the treasure. All right. So if we follow that logic, if Jesus sells everything that he has, well, now the only thing of real value that Jesus had to give was his life. His blood. That's right. I was bought with a price. That's right. I was bought with a price. That's right. You were a purchase.

You purchased that. Jesus basically purchased the field so he could get the treasure. So now we need to ask, Were we not ransomed? That's right. Were we not ransomed? By a price, yes.

He paid the ransom. What this means, my dear friend, is that this parable means that Jesus Christ saw you as the treasure. That's right. You were in the world. And he saw you and he said, that person, that man, that woman, that child is treasure to me. I will give all that I have. I'll pay whatever price in order to buy this treasure.

That's right. What was the price he paid? He hung on a cross. He was crucified. His blood poured out of him. He descended into the place of the dead. All for you to buy the treasure. Man, Doc, it's exciting.

It is. And I like that interpretation better than the standard one. And then when you go to verse 35 in the parable of the pearl of great price, it says, again, the king of heaven is like unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls, who when he had found one pearl of great price went and sold all they had and bought it. And so once again,

Jesus is reinforcing this idea of something of tremendous value that is being purchased at the cost of everything. My understanding, and I might be wrong on this, but my understanding is that in ancient times, the Jewish people did not trade in pearls. And so when Jesus said this to an audience of Jews, mostly Jews,

they were wondering, why are pearls of great value? But to the Greeks. Now that's interesting. All right. To the Greeks who were in the audience, the Greeks traded in pearls. What?

That'll preach, won't it? That'll preach now. Wow. The pearl represents Gentiles. Oh my goodness. And that's... Now you see why they're back to back. Right. Yes.

And this was hidden from the beginning. This was hidden from the foundation of the world. Paul teaches extensively about the salvation of mankind, particularly the Gentiles, being saved as a mystery. Wow. Now, I'm learning something new today here. And then in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek. We are one in Christ, a new creature in Christ.

But Jesus Christ looks at the Jews and he says, a great treasure. He looks at the Gentiles. He says, a great treasure. A pearl. A pearl. I will give everything that I have to buy them. And he did. He paid the price for all Jews to be saved.

He paid the price for all Gentiles to be saved. He paid the price for you to be saved, for me, for Doc to be saved because you are a treasure to him. You're not trash. You're not junk. You're treasure. You're more valuable to God than you understand

and he gave everything that you would be saved don't deny him the pleasure of saving your soul surrender to Jesus Christ and ask him to save your soul I'll see you tomorrow.
