TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Medvedev warns of Nuclear Apocalypse

Episode Date: February 28, 2023

One of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies is warning the West that if they supply more arms to Ukraine, it will lead to an ‘apocalypse.’ Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev warned this week that the NATO-led alliance’s attempt to weaken and destroy Russia could cause a nuclear war.Medvedev describes the apocalypse as a global nuclear catastrophe in which cities and industrial areas are destroyed by blasts from weapons, which release large amounts of radioactive smoke into the air. The smoke would eventually reach the stratosphere, where it could stay for decades unless there is no rain to wash it away.If the United States, Britain, and France started a nuclear war with Russia, it would wreak havoc on virtually every aspect of human life over several decades. It could deplete world supplies of oil, water, and food and lead to widespread famine.\In addition, it could result in an apocalyptic winter with temperatures below zero and no rainfall. The coldest parts of the earth would become uninhabitable, leaving the vast majority of humanity unable to survive and requiring them to seek shelter elsewhere. It would also leave the land unusable for agriculture, resulting in widespread famine and starvation. We will discuss the deepening fears that Western support for Ukraine could result in a global war that involves weapons of mass destruction on this edition of TruNews. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

One of Vladimir Putin's closest allies is warning the West that if they supply more arms to Ukraine, it will lead to an apocalypse. Dmitry Medvedev, a former Russian president, warned this week that the NATO-led alliance's attempt to weaken and destroy Russia

could cause a nuclear war. The apocalypse is described by Nevedev as a global nuclear catastrophe in which cities and industrial areas are destroyed by blasts from the weapons, which release large amounts of radioactive smoke into the air. The smoke would eventually reach the stratosphere, where it would stay for decades unless there is no rain to wash it away. If the United States, Britain, and France started the nuclear war with Russia, it would wreak havoc on virtually every aspect of human life over a period of many decades. It could deplete world supplies of oil, water, and food, as well as lead to widespread famine. In addition, it could result in an apocalyptic winter with temperatures below zero and no rainfall.

The coldest parts of the earth would become uninhabitable, leaving the vast majority of humanity unable to survive and requiring them to seek shelter elsewhere. It would also leave the land unusable for agriculture, resulting in widespread famine and starvation. Doc Burkhardt and I will discuss the deepening fears that Western support for Ukraine could result in a global war that involves weapons of mass destruction. We will start our program tonight with a report from RT, ex-Russian President Warnes of Nuclear Apocalypse. Doc Burkhardt is here with me. Doc, once again, a high-level Russian official is clearly telling the West,

you're playing with fire. And Western leaders tell their citizens, he's bluffing, don't listen to them. We're going to continue to antagonize them. And I don't think the Russians are bluffing. I think they're absolutely, pardon the pun, they are dead serious. They are telling us, you continue to do this, supplying these weapons to Ukraine, and we are going to take you out. And not only take you out, if you attempt to take Russia out, we'll just eliminate human civilization.

Yes. and that's how far they're going with this the article is from rt and it says that the west is endangering the very existence of human civilization by threatening moscow former russian president dmitry mvedev exclaimed continued support for ukraine from the u.s and its allies could result in a nuclear apocalypse it It goes on to say, a great achievement of the Soviet and Russian leadership in the early 1990s was that it was able to preserve

the country's nuclear potential after the collapse of the USSR. Medvedev argued in an article published in Izvestia newspaper Monday. The West is delusional. If it thinks that after putting the Soviet Union to rest, it'll be able to also bury modern Russia without significant problems for itself

by throwing the lives of thousands of people involved in the conflict in Ukraine into the furnace. Those are extremely dangerous misconceptions, Mr. Medvedev said. And he said, if the issue of the very existence of Russia is raised seriously, it won't be decided on the Ukrainian front. It'll be decided together with the issue

of the further existence of the entire human civilization, he warned. So Rick, that's the warning right there. You continue with this war and we're not going to just nuke Ukraine, and we're not just going to nuke Europe and America. The war is going to be so catastrophic. It'll be global.

Global war will take place, and the human race will cease to exist. As you were reading it, Doc, I was just sitting here thinking, are we this close to the second coming of Christ? That's the only hope I have in this. That's right. Are we this close? Jesus said, if the days are not shortened, no human flesh.

No, he said no flesh would survive. That's animal too. No flesh would survive if God does not shorten the days. What Medvedev just talked about over the weekend sounds like the end of all flesh on earth. Are we this close to the second coming of Jesus Christ? Are we in the time of tribulation and we don't even realize it?

And what would that tribulation look like? We have the vision in our mind as in Revelation and we hear guillotines and everything else going on. But at the same time- But the Bible doesn't say guillotines and everything else going on. But at the same time- But the Bible doesn't say guillotines. Right. People make that up. Right.

Okay. But Rick, as you often say on the program, there is the first day and there will be a last day, a final day. Yes. And it could be tomorrow. It could be next week. It could be today. There will one day be a final day. Now, Mr. Medvedev went on to

say that the U.S. and its allies who continue to pump Ukraine with weapons and prevent all attempts to restore peace talks between Moscow and Kiev refuse to understand that their goals are bound to lead to a total fiasco, the defeat for everyone, a collapse, an apocalypse when the former life would have to be forgotten for centuries until the smoky debris ceases to emit radiation, the former president said. Russia will not allow this to happen, Medvedev wrote. He noted that the West and its satellites represent only 15% of the world's population, while the rest of the world is greater in numbers and a lot stronger. The calm power of our great country and the credibility of its partners are the key to preserving the future of the entire world,

he concluded. You know, when I read this quote earlier today, it dawned on me, Rick, how true that was. 85% of the world are outside of what we consider the West. It's the West that's ramping all this up with Russia. But 85% of the world, they're not involved with this, or they soon will be if things continue to escalate. This is a telling situation here. Like you said, Rick, we could be winding down to things very quickly here. I hope so. I really do. I hope for number one reason, because I want to be with Christ. Not that I want to escape trouble, but I want to be with Christ. Right. Not that I want to escape trouble, but I want to be with Christ.

But number two, I don't want to live under this kind of pressure that we're in. I mean, every day we're getting up, we're waking up wondering, are we not in a nuclear war today? Are the leaders of the West going to push Russia so far that they launch the missiles?

Nobody should be living like this. We're not supposed to be under this kind of stress. But this is where we're at. And do you want to live like this day after day for the next couple of years? Well, that's why so many people are fluoridated in their water. They're fumigated by chemtrails. They're medicated by big pharma. A lot of people aren't

even aware of these things that are going on in the world around them. And if they are aware, they've dumbified themselves to ignore it. But things are happening in a big scale here. Well, Mr. Medvedev wasn't the only Russian leader talking about nuclear war. Vladimir Putin had something to say. Putin said Russia can't ignore NATO's nukes. The West wants to liquidate Moscow. That's right. President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that Russia had no choice but to take into account the nuclear capabilities of NATO as the U.S.-led military alliance was seeking the defeat of Russia. In today's conditions, when all the leading NATO countries have declared their main goal as inflicting a strategic defeat on us, so that our people suffer, as they say, how can we ignore their nuclear capabilities in these conditions?

The West, Putin said, wanted to liquidate Russia. Let's keep that on the screen for just a moment. Maybe I'm hearing this wrong, Rick, but correct me if I am. What it sounds like President Putin is saying there is we have to take into account that we are being threatened by the West with annihilation, and the only way to annihilate Russia

is with nuclear weapons. So we can't ignore that. And so therefore we have to be just as prepared from the Russian point of view to be able to inflict the same damage. Exactly what he's saying. And to inflict it before they inflict you. That's where this is going. General Chagoo, who is Russia's defense minister, said Russia will push a threat off of its borders depending on the weapons supplied to Ukraine. So, yeah, here it is. Russia will have to push the threat off its borders to a distance depending on the weapons the West will supply to Ukraine, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shigal said

on Sunday. So, Doc, it will depend on the weapons it will receive, he said in an interview Putin's on, excuse me, on a TV channel in Moscow. So, I'm interpreting General Shigurh's comments as there will be a

reciprocal action from us based on the types of weapons the US and Europe send to Ukraine. If they send in tanks, we're sending in tanks. They send in long-range missiles, we're using long-range missiles. There's going to be a reciprocal action from Russia for everything that they do. Do you think also that this could be interpreted that they will actually cross borders in order to make sure that doesn't happen? For instance, if we provide Ukraine

with long-range missiles that can go deep into Russian territory, Russia is going to push back into Ukraine that much further in equivalence to that. That's basically what he said, because he said that they're going to push away from the country. Yeah, that's what I understood, too, from reading that. So are we going to see times? I mean, we touched on this last week where Russia would go into Poland a certain distance in order to protect its border. Medvedev said last week we may have to adjust the borders of Poland. I mean, we're at this stage now that they're talking about adjusting Poland's borders.

Well, the West has been talking about adjusting Russia's borders now for a year. Global Times here is reporting, U.S. and German tanks try to seize Russia's constitutional territory. Severe retaliatory action will follow, says the Russian ambassador to China. The German tanks have already appeared on Russian soil. I hope that Berlin does not forget how things ended up. He's talking about World War II. Right. I firmly believe that this time our people will stand the test. And that's coming from Russian ambassador to China, Igor Morgulov, speaking to the Global times in an exclusive interview when talking about some western countries plans to send tanks to aid ukraine now mergulov taught excuse me mergulov

told the global times that the decision by the u.s germany and other nato countries to supply ukraine with tanks led to a further escalation of the Ukrainian crisis and became irrefutable evidence of the direct involvement of Western countries in the conflict. He said that the supply of tanks showed that Washington has no bottom lines. If Washington and NATO countries provide Kiev with weapons, including tanks, in order to strike deep inside our country in attempt to seize our constitutional territory, it will force us to take severe retaliatory action. He also warned that the Leopard 2 tank is equipped with a subcaliber armor-piercing projectile with a uranium core, the use of which will contaminate the area,

as happened in the past in Yugoslavia and Iraq. If they hand over such shells to Ukraine, we will consider it a dirty bomb against Russia with serious consequences to follow. Everybody should take a deep breath and just meditate on what he just said. Serious consequences. There will be retaliation. Right. consequences. There will be retaliation. Once again, you have another Russian official using almost the same language. Our response will be reciprocal. So if it's reciprocal, and he says if you supply Ukraine with radiological shells that cause radiation in Russia, we're going to respond. And how are they going to respond?

Tactical nukes. Right. Well, now we are, it's amazing how we snickered the Germans into sending the leopard tanks there. But the first delivery. They did get snickered. Yeah, we told them,

we're going to send Abrams. And they said, okay, well, we'll send our leopards. And then we say, oh, wait a minute, it'll be a good year because we've got to build them. Wait, what do you mean build them?

And so, yeah, we snickered them. But the first delivery of the Leopard 2 tanks, Rick, is in two weeks. We're two weeks away. And so are we about to see a major escalation here within the next 14 to 21 days? Yes. Based on these statements from these Russians, yes, there's going to be a major escalation. No doubt in my mind. The Russians have really bad memories of German tanks.

With the iron crosses on them? They've got really bad memories. And they're going to have flashbacks. And they are not going to allow German tanks to come near their border. They just, Doc, they're going to take them out. This is going to get very severe in the coming weeks. Do you remember back, I guess, late last year in December, we were trying to, we were gauging the statements being made by Russian and Western leaders. Right.

And we said, eh, it looks like the really big war, the real ramp up is going to come in the spring. It looks like we're looking at late February, middle March. Because we were basing that projection on statements that were being made back in December. Here we are. Look at what they're saying right now at the end of February. The Russians are saying there's going to be serious consequences if you continue to send weapons to Ukraine. And in this one, this situation here, the Leopard 2 tanks produced by Germany. So who is going to be the target after that?

Germany is going to be the target after that. Especially if they have uranium shells. Then the rules of the game will change. And the Russians are going to take action. The next story is from Reuters. Belarus activists say that they blew up a Russian military aircraft near Minsk. This supposedly happened today. Yes, Belarusian anti-government activists said they had blown up a sophisticated Russian military surveillance aircraft

in a drone attack at an airfield near the Belarusian capital of Minsk. That's a claim that neither Russia nor Belarus has confirmed. The plane, a Berev A-50 aircraft, has the NATO reporting name of Mainstay and is an airborne early warning aircraft with command and control capabilities and the ability to track up to 60 targets at a time. Now, apparently, this is the story that was carried out. They were drones that carried out the attack. The participants of the operation are Belarusians. That's coming from Alexander Azarov, a leader of the Belarusian anti-government organization, BIPOL. And he was quoted as saying on Sunday on the organization's Telegram messaging app and on Poland-based Bilsat news channel. So we have a picture of this A-50 Berev that I'll show you here. This is like our AWAC, comparable to that here in the U.S.

and in NATO. So if the story is correct, drones attacked this aircraft today and did serious damage, I think, to the nose and the radar at the top. The Russians have not confirmed it. The Belarusian government has not confirmed it yet. But if it's true, then they were able to get a drone into Belarus. This happened in Belarus. Right. So now Lukashenko, if this is true, then Lukashenko has to make a decision. Did Ukraine carry out an attack on his country? Or did elements within the Belarusian territory carry it out?

You know, rebel elements within his own country. If he concludes that Ukraine's intelligence agencies orchestrated this attack on their military base, then he's going to be under pressure inside his country to retaliate against Ukraine. And now Belarus is in the war. What did we hear a week or two ago? How many hundreds of thousands of troops prepared to go in? Belarusian troops prepared.

I think it said that he could call up a half million troops. Yes, out of his reserve components. And the Russian troops that are stationed in Belarus would automatically come under his command. So you could see Belarus coming into this. Now, there's another thing also.

You know, this offensive that Russia has not launched yet. We've been hearing for several months that Russia was going to launch a major offensive against Ukraine. Right. And I don't know if that's Ukrainian propaganda or if it's true. But they've been saying for several months it was going to come in February, and then they've kind of pushed it out to it's going to be in March. But if this attack is true, then there is a real strong probability that hundreds of thousands of Belarusian troops are going to invade Ukraine

in the next two to three weeks. Put that together with the tanks, the uranium shells. Ask your congressman and your senator, why are you doing this to us? Why are you endangering our lives why are you putting our entire nation why are you putting the entire human civilization at risk for ukraine what's the purpose of all this why are we doing this really our our safety is at risk from Russia.

They want you to believe that Russia planned to take over the world. Yes, I mean, that's... That's the plan. You know, that's the propaganda line. Russia was just trying to sell oil and gas and natural resources and just try to keep their economy going. NATO provoked Russia over many years. And finally, Russia said, we've had enough. We've told you our red lines. You've ignored us. You won't talk to us. We're

going to go into Ukraine. We're going to take care of the Nazis. And we're going to denazify Ukraine. Now we have the war. Mr. Biden and the Democrats and the Republicans have spent supposedly $45 billion on military aid, plus Europe has spent billions, and now we're on the verge of all-out nuclear war. And what is this about? Why are we dying? Tell me again.

Why are we all going to die? For freedom and democracy in Ukraine. Yes. That's what we're told. Total insanity. That's in spite of the fact that Jens Stoltenberg just a week and a half ago said this war started in 2014. Yes. NATO went to war in 2014 against Russia. That's when that's when the revolution was was uh plotted and carried out by uh who else victoria newland who's back in now she was she was in the obama administration in 2012 13 14 now she's back in the in the obama administration the third term of obama's presidency, because Obama's running this operation.

Joe Biden doesn't have enough mental faculties to run this war. He doesn't have enough mental faculties to get himself out of the bathroom in the morning. Obama's running the country. Obama wanted that war with Putin. Putin beat him in Syria. That's right.

He did. And if you go back and listen to my programs in 2011 and 12, I said Putin stopped Obama from invading Syria and then trouble started in Ukraine. I mean, immediately started after Obama backed down in Syria. And I said on this program, they just moved the theater of war to Ukraine. It's not going to be Syria for a while. It's going to be Ukraine. Here we are. We're on the edge of nuclear war.

And this is because Putin put a stop to Obama's plans. And don't worry, they're coming back to Syria. They just have to get Russia out of the way first. They got to get Russia out of the way. Well, speaking of warmongers. Yes. Who we got here? Do we have enough time? We got. Yes. So this is this is Congressman Mike McCaul. He I mean, I've never seen a congressman so...

Salivating for war. Yes, salivating. He can't wait to get that war going. He works for the intelligence agencies. I mean, I don't know how deeply embedded he is inside the U.S. intelligence agencies, but they obviously manipulate him. But he was on ABC this week on Sunday talking about the need to put everything that we have

into Ukraine. Good to see you. We've all been in Ukraine this week. You met with President Zelensky. You said in Ukraine while you were there that you're seeing increasing momentum towards getting long-range missiles and F-16. You heard what President Biden said. You heard what Jake Sullivan said. It doesn't look like it. Yeah, that's unfortunate. I was at the Munich Security Conference, met with a lot of the high-ranking military officials, including our Supreme Allied Commander. They're all in favor of us putting not only F-16s in, but longer-range artillery to take out the Iranian drones in Crimea.

In fact, the word I kept hearing was, we need to put everything we have into there. I know the administration says as long as it takes. I think with the right weapons, it shouldn't take so long. And quite frankly, Martha, this whole thing is taking too long and it really didn't have to happen this way. But you heard Jake Sullivan say, look, our military is looking at the ground. What they need right now is tanks. What they need is infantry. Why do you think F-16s would make a difference? Because it can travel the entire country with great speed. It can knock out targets.

It can't protect the country. Also, it could get shot down. There are a lot of air defenses, especially over on the border. It could. But the fact is, if they don't get the momentum right now, with the Russian offensive coming into country right now, they have a window of time with the counteroffensive. That's why it's important when I talk to these top military officers,

give them everything they have that you can now so they can win this thing. When we give them what they can really use and ask for, they win. When we slow walk and slow pace this thing, it drags it out. And that's precisely what Putin wants. What could you do at this point as chair, at this point legislatively? Is there really anything you could do? Yeah, well, we can certainly write into our appropriations bills, prioritizing weapon systems. We intend to do that. But in addition, Martha, this was a bipartisan delegation to Munich. My delegation in Ukraine all agreed with Zelensky that the Atakams and the F-16s were appropriate.

Right now, I talked to General Milley last night. I don't think it's off the table. I think with enough pressure from Congress on both sides of the aisle, we can get into Ukraine what they really need to win this fight. Otherwise, what are we doing in Ukraine? And even if they don't want them now, do you think they should start training? For God's sakes. I mean, it takes three to six months to train. We need to do this now. And I know the argument is made, well, we need to look at the budget. The fact is, you heard with the Abrams tanks, they won't go in for another year. I've met with the Ukrainians being trained by the Poles on the Leopard tanks, which will go in in two weeks as this offensive takes place. Two weeks. That's going to be a bit of a game changer

as well. And I hope we can change the course and direction that the administration has with respect to the military strategy. Mike McCaw is literally mad. I mean, I'm talking madness with bloodlust. I'm surprised that blood doesn't drip out of his mouth down his chin. That man wants, he wants death. He wants death and destruction. People like that scare me that they're in power, that they have influence and he wants more weapons, more killing, more death. And he said, what are we even doing there well congressman that's the question we're asking what

are we doing there because people like you congressmen got this country in that mess and your pride and your lunacy won't admit that it's a disaster and you're driving the entire world into a nuclear war. It's absolute insanity. And only somebody whose mind is controlled by Satan would just keep pushing for more war, more destruction, knowing that the other side is warning, we're going to hit you with every weapon we have and destroy all life. This is total lunacy.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus. We're gonna go for a break. We'll be back in a couple seconds online. Okay. Okay. Oh, Mr. McCall. Well, he also had further things to say to Martha Raddatz regarding the big question now lately, Rick, will China supply weapons or armaments to Russia, and how will that change things? Well, Mr. McCaul called that an unholy alliance. Let's watch this clip. I want to talk about China. What do you know about China possibly providing lethal aid to Russia,

and how do you think the U.S. should respond to it? Well, Chairman Xi and Putin, they have this unholy alliance since the Beijing Olympics. He called Putin, Xi called Putin his best friend several years ago. We do know that we have intelligence that's been reported that they are contemplating sending 100 drones into Russia. We also know they're buying all their energy from them economically. You say it's been reported. Do you know that's what they're looking at, is sending in drones? And other lethal weapons. Like what?

I can't get into that. The fact is, the fact that they're going to meet next week, Chairman Xi and Putin, to discuss this unholy alliance that they have to put weapons into Ukraine, to me is very disturbing because while maybe Ukraine today, it's going to be Taiwan tomorrow. That's why this is so important. Didn't have to be like this. No, not at all. The West drove Putin to Beijing.

20 years ago, a little bit more than 20 years ago, the late 90s, Putin became president at the end of 99, so somewhere in that range. Putin wanted Russia to join NATO. And NATO told him to take a hike. Didn't even consider it at all. Didn't show him respect. Didn't have discussions about it.

He wanted to make peace with Europe. And then we saw it again in St. Petersburg? Yes. He offered protection to France. Who would we need to be protected from, Macron said. You didn't realize it then, did you? But NATO needed a boogeyman

because NATO is obsolete. But see, now NATO can say, look, we're not obsolete. Everything we told you about Putin is true. Look, he attacked. We told you. We told you for years he was going to attack. Yeah, because you kept sticking an ice pick in his eyeball until he couldn't take it anymore.

You wanted the attack to justify your existence because NATO is obsolete. Russia had no plans to invade. Does anybody in their right mind believe that Russia was plotting an invasion of Western Europe? To get its former satellites back? I mean, they were going to roll tanks into Germany and France and go all across the English Channel. Does anybody believe that?

What's the purpose of NATO? What's the purpose of all these billions of dollars in military bases when the World War II enemy is no longer at war with you? And the World War II enemy wasn't at war with us then. They were our allies. That's right. Russia was our ally

in World War II. It was Germany who was our enemy. Now the Nazis are our allies. Just think about what you just said. Right. The Nazis are the allies of the West. The whole thing's been flipped around. And so there was no reason for this to happen.

Putin could have been brought into NATO 20 years ago. Russia could have been made a member. There could have been brought into NATO 20 years ago. Russia could have been made a member. There could have been security agreements that if they behaved in a certain way over 10, 15 years, there's all kinds of ways that it could have been accomplished. Think how different the world would be right now.

We would be peaceful. We would be peaceful. It would be peaceful. Because a unified European, Russia, North American alliance, I mean, they could just go anywhere in the world and say, y'all need to settle down. But who doesn't want it? Well, the war profiteers.

The military industrial complex, the banksters. They're the ones that don't want it because they make money off this. They make big money off this. War is big, big money. These guys like McCall, they need to be opposed. They need to be told, you don't run things, and you don't have the authority to push all of us into a nuclear war. Who do you think you are?

Your job is, you're a congressman. You're supposed to keep the post office running. Yes. For heaven's sakes, you're a congressman. Make sure all the potholes are filled. You're not a warlord. These guys get these, they act like they're some kind of warlord. You're a congressman from Texas.

Just keep the stinking post office running. That's all you're supposed to do. Basic things. But these guys get this swollen head and they think that they're far more important than they really are. But they work for the warmongers. The people that are making billions of dollars

off of this war. Because this has been great. Oh, it's been great for some corporations. And for people moving money around. Just in terms of laundering. I mean, the Bidens are masters at laundering money. Just think how much money has been laundered into Biden bank accounts in Ukraine.

You send billions to Zelensky. Don't forget 10% to the big guy. You don't think that's not going on? You're really naive if you don't think it's going on. The next one, this is the CIA director, William Burns, and he was on CBS, Face the Nation, and he also talked about the possibility of China supplying weapons to Russia. Let's watch. I want to ask you about what appears to be potentially a new line of ammunition and weapons for Russia.

Secretary Blinken has said publicly, you know, we have begun to see, we have begun to collect intelligence suggesting that China is considering the provision of lethal equipment. That's not to suggest that they've made a definitive conclusion about this. Secretary Blinken said that the U.S. had picked up information over the last couple of months. But picking up information over the last couple of months to thinking they're actively considering it, I mean, how confident are you in the intelligence that this is something Xi Jinping himself may change his mind about? Well, we're confident that the Chinese leadership is considering the provision of lethal equipment. We also don't see that a final decision has been made yet, and we don't see evidence of actual shipments of lethal equipment. And that's why

I think Secretary Blinken and the president have thought it important to make very clear what the consequences of that would be. To deter it. Yeah, to deter it, because it would be a very risky and unwise bet. So why would Beijing risk a tailspin in its relationship with the United States and with Europe by crossing this line? It's a good question, and that's why I hope very much that they don't. Do you think that Beijing benefits from having the West distracted

and involved in a prolonged conflict in Europe? That's the aim. It's conceivable, but I think there's no foreign leader who's watched more carefully Vladimir Putin's experience in Ukraine, the evolution of the war than Xi Jinping has. What are the consequences for the conflict in Ukraine if this does happen? What does more ammunition and more weapons mean? Is it a game changer? We also have evidence that the Iranians are providing, you know, lethal equipment and munitions, that the North Koreans are doing the same thing as well. So wherever that lethal assistance comes from, it prolongs a vicious war of aggression.

What do you think lethal, when I talk about lethal assistance, what kind of lethal weapons are you thinking China may be sending to Russia? It could be enhanced drones. It could be... Missiles? Missiles, yeah. So, I mean, it could be other weapons that we don't know anything about. I thought it was interesting,

both Representative McCaul and Mr. Burns there, both of them said that they've got the intelligence, and they couldn't go any further and say what those weapons were, but they seemed like they knew. So that was an interesting interchange there. And what would the response be from the West if China sends military weapons to Russia?

Does it draw China into the conflict? Of course. But what would be the response? Would it be, would the U.S. put economic sanctions on China? That would be the first step. We would know that they would be, but will they be willing to do that? Would Beijing, Biden be willing to do that? That's the question.

Well, that's a good question, Doc, knowing Biden's affinity with China. But if he doesn't do something, he looks weak, especially on the heels of the China balloon. Right. Okay? So what does he do? Do they just send him a nasty letter and say, we're really mad? Or does the U.S. impose economic sanctions on China? And what does that look like, economic sanctions on China?

And what retaliation could China pull on the United States? Who's the stronger player here economically? In my opinion, China. China's the stronger one. They're producing so much of our goods that we use here in the U.S. I mean, really, they've got us. We built it. We did that for them. But can China afford to lose the U.S. market? Well, that's it too. Is there enough resolve to shift those markets elsewhere in the world right now? I don't think Beijing is ready to pivot on that yet. But Taiwan's a big priority for them too. They could look at this as an opportunity.

Okay, if we're in with Russia, we may as well go all in. Let's go ahead and get Taiwan and do Ukraine too over here. Because that's what's going to end up being is Ukraine too all of a sudden. Except we'll be looking at an unlimited wave of military personnel

that could be coming from China. But the wars are going to come here one day. It's not going to stay in Ukraine. It's not going to stay in Taiwan. It's not going to stay in South China Sea. One day it's going to come to Kansas City, Missouri. It's going to come to Jackson, Mississippi. It's going to come to Cleveland, Ohio.

One day the war will come here, and then everything changes here in America. Mm-hmm. This thing with China, I think, Doc, again, going back to what we were talking about a few minutes ago, things are going to ramp up in the next 30 days. Look at all the things we were talking about with the tanks, the things that Chagall said, retaliation, the Russian ambassador, Medvedev, all talking about if you continue to do this, there will be a reaction from us.

And so you take those statements and then you add China adding weapons and now the West is threatening China. This is going to get really serious over the next 30 days. If nobody, if there's no reasoning, if nobody backs down and says, hey, maybe we're taking this too far. But there's no signs of anybody acting like they've got a sound mind. The Western leaders act like they're crazy. I think it's interesting that these accusations on this unholy alliance, as McCaul likes to call it, come days after China proposes a 12-point plan to end the conflict in Ukraine, I mean, suddenly they become a player in negotiating and everything by saying that the four provinces in eastern Ukraine,

they become like a DMZ, you know, a demilitarized zone. Well, let's not put any peace plans out there. Well, China was. I know. And then days later we get this. Well, China and Russia, they. And then days later, we get this, well, China and Russia, they're doing an unholy alliance. China's going to send

who knows what to Russia. We know, but we can't tell you. Well, Mr. Zelensky was talking over the weekend and he said that he is certain that forces inside Russia are going to assassinate Vladimir Putin.

Yeah, he was talking a lot this weekend. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky says he believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will eventually be killed by a member of his inner circle. Telegraph is reporting. Just as Russia is hit by increasingly stringent sanctions for invading Ukraine last February, Putin's political rivals will seek to depose him, Zelensky told journalist Dmitry Komarov. There will be certainly a moment when the fragility of Putin's regime is felt in Russia, said Zelensky. Then carnivores will eat a carnivore.

It is very important and they will need a reason to justify this. They will remember. They will find a reason to kill a killer. Will it work? Yes. When? I don't know. And it's all propaganda.

Right. And Zelensky's propaganda. Look, this is really the first global propaganda war. It is, isn't it? And Zelensky is a propagandist. This is the Zoom war president. The TikTok president. Yes. He excels at propaganda.

And of course, he has a news media in the West that's more than willing to give him plenty of time. But he's fighting the war through propaganda. And picking up checks along the way. Yes. But every once in a while he puts this thought out there,

Putin's going to be assassinated. And when he's not talking about it, Lindsey Graham is. That's right. But they keep it going. Out there. Yes. Because the purpose is to unsettle Putin, to make him nervous. Because if he just sees it, if he just sees the reports, they're getting it into his head.

That's all they're trying to do. They're trying to get it into his head, into Putin's head, that he can't trust this general. He can't trust this aide. He can't trust this bodyguard. It's just propaganda. It's psychological warfare. Zelensky also said he does not want Israel to meditate, to mediate a peace agreement.

He wants Israel to pick a side, and it needs to be Ukraine's side. That's right. So now he's trying to draw Israel into this. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said Friday that he would like Israel to choose a side, the Ukrainian side, amid Russia's ongoing invasion of his country rather than try to mediate. There were reports that Israel was working with that. Speaking during a press conference on the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion,

Zelensky said he recognized Israel's complex situation and noted an improvement in Kiev's ties with Jerusalem. We have a soundbite here from BBC. Let's watch. For a while during the war, I wanted to get Israeli support, not just from this population, because there is a lot of support there, but from their politicians, leaders, various structures. For me, it was very important, historically important. Ukraine has historically excellent relations with Israel. We had many various conversations at various levels with various authorities, public and off-the-record in various formats, various territories. It was difficult to change positions because Israel has a complex situation with Russia, you know, with Iran and Syria, et cetera. However, I very much would like them to be not a mediator in this war, but to choose a side.

And I would wish they would choose the side of Ukraine. I cannot imagine how Israel could ever support the war against a country that I cannot imagine for myself how they could do that. In response to your question, I know all the answers to your question, but I would not be able to give them to you. I cannot jeopardize. I cannot even imagine improvement between Israeli-Ukrainian relations

that has started. And Mr. Zelensky has some lecturing to the American people also. That's right. Don't you dare stop that money from coming over here. You're going to lose NATO. It's going to be really bad.

You just keep sending the money and you taxpayers just keep going to lose NATO. It's going to be really bad. You just keep sending the money. And you taxpayers just keep going to work and paying your taxes. And Joe will send the money over here. And that's what you're supposed to do. This is Zelensky also speaking. We got this through the Telegraph in London. Polls in the United States are suggesting that a growing number of Americans believe that the U.S. is giving too much support to Ukraine. What would your message be on the anniversary

to those Americans? Thank you. I would like to thank the American people. I would like to thank all of the American people that are supporting Ukraine, the Congress, the president, the TV channels, the journalists, and everyone that has been supporting us. And that percentage of Americans, as you've mentioned, is increasing. I can tell them only one thing. If they do not change their opinion, if they do not understand us, if they do not support Ukraine, they will lose NATO, they will lose the clout of the United States, they will lose the leadership position that they are adjoining in the world, that they are enjoying for a very fair reason. And they will lose the support of the country with 40 millions of population,

with millions of children. Are American children any different than ours? Don't Americans enjoy the same things as we do? I don't think we're that different. And if we keep supporting Zelensky, we're going to lose our lives. That's right, because we'll be beyond. He forgot to mention that part. And Mr. Biden, he said it's the MAGA crowd that's trying to stop the Biden administration from sending more money to Ukraine. Here he is. And I'm actually very happy that we have bipartisan support, but we keep hearing those messages from time to time and they're dangerous. There are political leaders that are elected by people, and if this issue is raised, those

political leaders need to be responsible and cautious because people are looking at them. Who wants a third world war? Would anyone risk? Would anyone be willing to accept that risk? The US is never going to give up on the NATO member states. If it happens so that Ukraine, due to various opinions and weakening depleting of assistance loses, Russia is going to enter Baltic states, NATO member states, and then the US will have to send their sons and daughters exactly the same way as we are sending their sons and daughters to war. And they will have to fight because it's nature that we're talking about.

And they will be dying, God forbid, because it's a horrible thing. My mistake, I thought we were going to Joe Biden. It was my mistake. But it's important that we see that statement because what Mr. Zelensky said was, hey, America, eventually your sons are going to be dying over here. Your sons and daughters, yes. He really just told us what the plan is. Your sons are going to be over here fighting with Ukrainian troops because that's where this is headed. We forget how many American troops are stationed in Eastern Europe ready to go into Russia. To go into Russia.

And the Russians know that they're there. The way Zelensky was framing this, though, that if you even question the money going to Ukraine, if you question your involvement in the Ukraine conflict, you're dangerous. Yes. You are dangerous for questioning it. Because if you question it, you're not on board. You're the dangerous one.

That's right. And so when it gets back here, and David Muir was interviewing President Biden here over the weekend, President Biden was asked directly by David Muir was interviewing President Biden here over the weekend. President Biden, you know, was asked directly by David Muir, you know, we've got a lot of people here that are talking about, you know, cutting funds for this war. And, you know, President Biden had this response. You announced another $2.5 billion in aid to Ukraine today, 113 billion now. We know the vast majority of Americans support Ukraine, but there are now many who are asking, how long can we spend like this? Well, first of all, I'm not sure how many are asking. I know the mega crowd is.

The right-wing Republicans are talking about, we can't do this. We find ourselves in a situation where the cost of doing, of walking away could be considerably higher than the cost of helping Ukraine maintain its independence. First of all, I don't believe the polls where the overwhelming majority of Americans are supporting this conflict in Ukraine. I just don't believe them. You feel it out on the street in neighborhoods and just talking to people that they're getting fed up with all this going on. But for Joe Biden- Ask the people in East Palestine, Ohio, how they feel about it. But for Joe Biden to be so disingenuous and blame the make American great again crowd, as he calls it. He likes to throw MAGA out there, put a label on it. It should be so transparent to anyone listening in. That should tell you automatically it's a fake war right there. Well, Doc, America's aging old Treasury Secretary, she made her trek over to Ukraine.

Seems like everybody's going there. So there's an old warmonger, Janet Yellen, bankster, Federal Reserve officer in the past, now Treasury Secretary, Zionist and warmonger. Yes. There she is. Congratulating her fellow Zionists in the great war that they're fighting against Christian Russia. So Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made a surprise trip to Ukraine to underscore the U.S. commitment to backing Kiev as the war with Russia enters its second year, meeting with Vladimir Zelensky one week after President Biden did the same. Here she is. This is where she arrived in Ukraine.

This is a picture of her on Twitter here, number 41 for control. The Treasury Department is responsible for imposing international sanctions against Russian individuals and entities, as well as delivering economic aid to the country to the tune of $14 billion since the war began. The Treasury Department said Yellen was announcing the recent transfer of $1.25 billion in economic and budgetary aid while in Kiev. So you may be asking the question, why is the U.S. Treasury Secretary visiting Ukraine? Well, they're checking on the U.S. Treasury that we've sent to Ukraine. You better believe it. I mean, just think about it.

The Treasury Secretary is overseeing the transfer of billions of dollars to a foreign country. That in itself is odd and suspicious. When really the Treasury Secretary should be the one who's saying to the President, hey, I checked a bank account. We're overdrawn.

Way overdrawn. We've got to borrow some more money. We shouldn't send any more money. The next one is New York Times. Janet Yellen in Kiev. Economic aid to Ukraine is vital. And this is her writing this article. Yes, this is her article. And she says,

our economic support helps Ukraine's government continue to be able to provide basic services to its people. Just last year, our assistance allowed 500,000 Ukrainian health care workers and 60,000 first responders to continue to save lives. We've also helped keep a half million Ukrainian teachers in the classroom. classroom, as Russia undertakes a widespread and systematic attack on Ukraine's civilian population, we've helped Ukraine mount a vigorous response to assist over a million people who have fled, who had to flee their homes, while also providing, look at this, social assistance, housing, and utility subsidies, and pension payments. Pensions. For millions of Ukrainians. Pension payments for millions of Ukrainians.

This is absolutely insane. And then she says, and as our aid has enabled civil servants to continue to operate the government. Pause and think about what she's saying. U.S.s money taxpayer money has enabled ukrainian government bureaucrats to operate the government ensuring that it remains able to provide a steady hand during a period of extreme hardship and she says over the coming months

the united states will provide an additional $8 billion in urgently needed direct budget support to Ukraine. And while our focus is on bridging Ukraine's financing gaps, we are also committed to supporting the country in its eventual reconstruction effort. We're going to keep spending money even after the war. Money that we don't have and Yellen knows America's broke. We have to raise our debt ceiling limit. We have to borrow more money and we usually borrow the

money from China. Just think this through. China is loaning us money to go to war against Ukraine but China is going to send missiles to Russia to fight us in Ukraine. I'm going to end with one more still, and it's actually live, so I hope it is. I want you to see what our illustrious Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, I want you to see

the books that she's managing. Here is the U.S. debt clock. Right now, the U.S. national debt, $31 trillion and counting. And we're still sending money to Ukraine? Yeah. See those numbers going up? That's Yellen over in Kiev giving money away. Wow. We're still sending money to Ukraine? Yeah. See those numbers going up?

That's yelling over in Kiev, giving money away. Wow. We're so broke, we can give money away. That's the idea, right? Yes. Because the system, the bloodsuckers have sucked all the life out of the American people for the past 100 years. They've sucked it dry, Doc. And they know the system of usury is collapsing.

Coming to an end. Because God told them not to practice usury. It was a command from God Almighty. And they know it. They know it. They know it, that they are not to make their wealth through usury. And yet they have enslaved this country in debt. They've sucked the life out of the American people. They've bled them dry.

The middle class is wiped out. Our cities are now cesspools of drug addicts and criminals and illegal immigrants. And they don't know how to get out of this mess other than start a big war. Who do we owe the most money to?

China. Blow them up. Just blow them up. Then you don't have to pay it back. Another way to offset debt is to get more assets, which would be why we're trying to take Russia down so we can take everything they have. Get their natural resources.

Because we've sucked everything out of everywhere else. Yeah, the U.S. government stole the gold out of Iraq and Libya, just every country they've gone in. The first thing they did is they seized the national bank and they get all the gold. And they haul it out. And you think it went to the U.S. Treasury? No.

It went to a vault, but not the U.S. Treasury's vault. That's it for today. Thank you for watching True News. We appreciate your support. You're brave souls to stand with us financially in a time like this. But hey, the end of the world only happens once. Okay? So do something awesome as we approach the end of the world. Be there on God's team. Let your heavenly father smile upon you and say,

that's my son. That's my daughter. She knows, he knows how late it is, and he's still supporting the work of God, getting the gospel to go out around the world. Thank you for your support. We appreciate it. See you tomorrow. 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. Well, this is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Hello, everybody. I'm Rick Wiles. This weekday television program is devoted to making ready a people prepared for the Lord. King Jesus will return to earth

to gather his elect and you and I must be remnant ready. Jesus Christ has a remnant church that will triumphantly endure to the end and that's why we must have Abraham's faith. He was not weak in faith. Unbelief did not make him stagger at the promise of God. He remained strong in faith and gave glory to God. Abraham was the father of the remnant ready church. And if he were here today, Abraham would tell us to shine brightly, taste salty, and love everybody. Well, our Bible study theme for the next several weeks is the parables of Jesus. Jesus said that the parable of the sower is the master key to understanding all the parables. Dr. Raymond Burkhardt and I will pick up where we left off

in yesterday's Morning Manor lesson. And so we will start today's discussion by reading from the 13th chapter of the gospel of Jesus Christ, according to St. Matthew verses one through nine. Here's Doc. Yes. So get your Bibles and let's read along together here from Matthew chapter 13. Behold, a sower went forth to sow. And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up. Some fell on stony places where they had not much earth, and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth. And when the sun was up, they were scorched,

and because they had no root, they were withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up and choked them. But other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. That's Matthew chapter 13, verses 1 through 9. Now, for a lot of people, Rick, this is a very familiar parable. But as we dig into the parable today, we're going to find some things that maybe people didn't know or notice ever before. Hey, Doc, it's that way with the Bible every time I read it.

Yes. Isn't it amazing this book is alive, that you can study it, you can read it day after day, year after year throughout your life, and every day there's something new, it amazes me. It absolutely amazes me how a book can be alive. And I just encourage everybody to study the Word of God. Start this year with the New Testament, the gospel of Jesus Christ, according to Matthew. Read Matthew all the way through to the revelation of Jesus Christ and just let the word of God deal with your heart and it will change you. It will absolutely revolutionize your life. So the question with the parable of the sower, it's like almost every Christian has heard of the parable of the sower. And they have their own idea of what it means. But Jesus made it clear in Mark 4, 13, that you really need to understand this parable. This

parable is a key parable because this parable helps us to understand all parables. Those are Jesus's words. So it must be pretty important. There's something in this parable Jesus wanted us to know that helps us understand all the rest of the parables. That's right. And so when you understand that Jesus in the gospel of Mark says, Jesus said, if you don't understand the parable, so how are you going to understand all these other parables? It's the master key. And so we have to drill down deeper in the parable of the sower and pull out the rich nuggets, the gems that are there on dock. Question is, is it the parable of the sower, the parable of the seed, the parable of the soil? Because those are the three main components in this parable.

Which one is it? Well, of course, traditionally, it's the parable of the sower. But like you said, you have the other elements in there. Rick, what do you think are the, what's the most important aspect of this particular parable as far as the elements are concerned? Well, I think, you know, I think through most of my life as a, I don't want to say casual Christian. I mean, I've always been a devoted Christian, but before ministry, I was just going to church, okay, as a regular guy going to church. You know, I just always, my mental image of the parable of the sower is, hey, Jesus got a basket of seed and he's just going around.

Throwing it everywhere. He's throwing it everywhere. Like Johnny Appleseed. He's just tossing seed everywhere. Some of it's growing. Some of it's not doing anything. But he's just out there tossing seed around. That's not what this is about. What we're going to show you here today is that

the seed, there is a, there is an extremely close relationship between the seed being the word of God and the seed being you and me. Yes. And I can show you scriptures where Jesus says the seed is his word, and yet I can show you scriptures where he says the good seed is you and me. It's those who believe him. So which is it? Is the seed the word of God?

Is the seed the Bible? And we're just sowing the Bible and the word of God around. Where is the seed, the word of God in us and you and I are being sown. When you get that in your spirit and start meditating on it, it will completely change your understanding of this parable because the two, the word of God and the people who hear the Word of God are so closely intertwined, you cannot separate them. What he sows is you and me. He sows people, but he sows people who have heard the Word. He's not just tossing people around.

Nor is he just tossing Bible verses out in the world. Because the word of God is of none effect unless it becomes alive in a person's heart. Right. You know, I think some people would think, you know, yeah, he's just tossing, you know, Bible verses out on the ground. And, you know, birds are coming and picking up the pages and leaving with it, you know. But no, it's the word that's in the hearts of people. And he's not sowing pagans and heathens and unbelievers. The people who are sown are people who have heard the word.

They've heard the preaching. This does not talk about people who have not heard the word. They've heard the preaching. This does not talk about people who have not heard the word of God. These are people who have heard the word of God and he sows them. He sows them with the word that they have in them. And what they do with that word is what produces a harvest for his kingdom or no harvest or a small harvest. And by the way, when Jesus said that the harvest would be 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold, it had nothing to do with financial gifts. I've heard that doctrine taught for decades. Make sure you give your gift and God will bless it 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold.

It has nothing to do at all with money. It's about the word in your life producing a harvest for his kingdom. The kingdom is for, the harvest is for him, not your wallet, not your bank account. Well, the seed that's sown in people's hearts, that's equal. But the difference is the soil of people's hearts, right? Yes. Well, yes and no. The soil, I think, is the same, Doc.

Soil is soil. Dirt is dirt, okay? I think the soil is the same in all of these cases in the parable, but it's what is mixed in the soil. Okay. Okay. So if you're a gardener or a farmer, uh, you know, the difference between good soil and bad soil in the sense that, uh, soil that has thorns, sticks, debris in it. You got to clean all that out. You got to sift it.

You got to get all that junk out of there. It doesn't necessarily mean the soil itself is bad. It just means that there's things mixed in. Yeah, the soil's good. It's just got a bunch of junk in it. It could have stones and rocks and briars and all kinds of things. So it's not the soil. It's the stuff that gets mixed into

the soil that causes the problems. So that means the soil is equal for everybody, but there's the differences in it and how we receive it and how it's prepared. Yes. A good soil is soil that's been sifted. Yes. Oh, we don't like to be sifted. That's pretty tough, right? Because, you know, if you're old time gardening where you put the dirt in a sifter. Yes. And you're just shaking it.

Yes. And the fine good dirt falls through and what stays above are the rocks, the thorns and twigs and all that junk. But it's that shifting we don't like. But that's what Jesus does to us. When we say we want to be closer to him, we want to have a richer relationship with him.

He says, okay, I'm going to sift you because you got a whole bunch of junk in your life. We got to sift it and get it out of you. We don't like that shaking part. So the soil is good. It's the junk that's mixed into the soil that prevents the rich harvest. So let's take a look at Jesus's, he gives an explanation. Yes, he does. And in verse 10, the disciples come to him and say, hey, what does this mean?

So Jesus gives the explanation in private. He doesn't do it in public. This is where he goes behind the paywall. In other words, he gave the public the freemium content. This is free to the public. Everyone had the opportunity to hear it. Everybody had a chance to hear it. But the ones that really wanted to know the meaning,

they got invited back into the house. Come back into the house, I'll tell you what it means. So you have to go into the Lord's house. That's the way I see it. You got to go into the house of the Lord. Go into the Lord's house where the word is taught. And if you're going to a church that they don't teach the Word,

you should shop for another church. Because there's a lot of churches that don't teach the Word of God anymore. They're just teaching motivation and social justice and everything. You got to go some places teaching the Word. So they went with the Lord back inside. Ask the question.

They asked the question. Why do you teach? Why are you teaching everyone in parables? Why don't you just be straightforward about it? Well, he was fulfilling a prophecy by Isaiah that said that there would be a generation that would come along that would not be able to understand

the things of the kingdom of God. And it's not for everybody. Just like, you know, you have apps or websites today that require, you know, either you pay for additional content or you have to figure out some word puzzle or whatever it might be. But there's something that has to happen in order to show that you are truly interested in what's coming next. To gain entrance. Right. To gain access. So he didn't give access to everybody. Right.

He would preach to the general public, but access to him in private, you had to pay a price. What did the apostles, his disciples, they left everything. Right. They left everything. They left everything. They left their businesses. They left their jobs.

They left their families. They left everything to follow him. That was to get behind the paywall. That was the price of admission. There is a price to pay. And I'm not teaching that Jesus charges money to receive truth. That's not what I'm teaching. But there's a price to pay.

The price is you've got to give up something. You've got to give up your love of the world. You've got to give up your love of a lot of things that you do with your time that are not profitable. You've got to give it up. You have to pursue Christ. You have to devote time and energy and focus to be with him, to be alone with him, to have hunger, to desire him. That's a price that you pay. There's a price to get up on Sunday morning and drive to church. There's a price to pay to go to a Bible conference. There's a price to pay to attend a Christian seminar.

You have to make an effort. You're paying a price. There's a price to pay to buy Christian books and study the word of God. There's a price to pay. And so Jesus said, look, this is all not for everybody. This is some things,

it's only for the people who have a hunger, the people who want to know. So he explains the parable of the sower. And this is in Matthew 13, chapter 13, verses 18, starting with verse 18 through 23. So, Doc, let's read this one. Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one

and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the wayside. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same as he that heareth the word and anon with joy receiveth it, yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while. For when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns, as he that heareth the word,

and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, We could do a whole program on that fruit. fold, some 60, some 30. That's Matthew 13, 18 through 23. And so we could do a whole program on that fruit. Yes. The bare fruit and 30 fold, 60 fold, 100 fold. Again, it has nothing to do with money, has nothing to do with the gifts that you give God and how much you get back. Let the Lord take care of how much he's going to give back. He will. He absolutely, believe me, I know that the Lord will reward you in giving, but that verse has nothing to do with finances. It's about what you give him in terms of your heart, your harvest for his kingdom. How many souls do you lead to Christ?

How many people do you influence for the kingdom of God? What's the harvest that comes out of your life? How many people do you love? How much goodness do you show? What's the harvest for for his kingdom coming out of your life. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Is the seed the word of God or is it people who hear the word? And again, my view is the two are so closely intertwined that it's impossible to separate them. So we're gonna take several lines out of Matthew 13. We start with verse 19.

All right, so this is Matthew 13, 19. When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which receives seed by the wayside. Let's keep that up for just a moment here so we can kind of break this down a little bit. Rick, it looks like in this particular verse here that it seems like that which is sown is being identified as a person. Am I missing something there? No, that's what I'm saying. When anyone, when any

one person hears the word of the kingdom and doesn't understand it, then comes the wicked one and steals away that which was sown in his heart. The word was sown in his heart. This is he which receives seed by the wayside. So was the object that was sown, was it the word of God or was it a human being who heard the word of God? The way this verse reads, it seems as if it's somebody who has heard, responded to the word of God.

They were the ones that were actually being sown. And because they didn't understand the word, and they didn't understand it, they did not pursue knowledge. Right. Why is it that somebody doesn't understand it and somebody does? Because the one that understands it pursues knowledge, pursues understanding. Look, there's a lot of things I don't understand when I read the word, but I pursue God. And I stay with it like a dog with a bone, all right? And I'm just going to hold on to it until I figure it out, until the Lord gives me the revelation of it. But you have to

have that hunger. There has to be a hunger and a desire in you to know it. If there's no hunger to know it, the evil one comes and steals away the word that you heard. Because you showed no interest in it. That's why the devil comes and takes it away, Doc, because he looks at you. I'm not telling you personally. I'm saying the person that hears the word of God preached doesn't understand it. The enemy looks at that man or woman and determines whether that person has a hunger

to understand it or not. If Satan sees that that person has no hunger to understand the word not. If Satan sees that that person has no hunger to understand the word, there's nothing wrong with not understanding the word. That's why we have Bible teachers. If everybody understood the word the first time they heard it, you wouldn't need Bible teachers, right? That's right, you wouldn't need Bible teachers. Right? That's right. You wouldn't need Christian books. You wouldn't need Bible schools if everybody understood the word

the first time they heard it. The difference is some people say to themselves, I've got to stay with this until I figure it out. I don't understand it, but I'm going to figure it out. I'm going to pursue God until I get the revelation of it. Others just go, I don't understand it. I've got other things to do. That person, the devil looks at that person and says,

I'm going to go steal the word. And the person doesn't even realize it was stolen from them, Doc. That's the really sad part. Because they put no value on the word. That's the really sad part. Because they put no value on the word. That's why when the devil steals it, they don't even know it's been stolen because there was no value on it. That's true. So is the thing that was sown,

was it the word of God or was it a person? And the answer is yes, it's both. There are both. All right. Let's take on that verse that keep in mind when we do further study in the parables here is in the parable, Jesus identified that which was stealing were the fowls of the air, but he identifies who the fowls are in the interpretation. He calls them the wicked one. So keep that in mind for the future because that will help you understand other parables as we go along. Yeah, and this is an important point. In parables, what I believe is that whatever the symbols are, Jesus uses natural objects to teach us heavenly divine principles.

So he uses things that we're used to in the earth, in the world. What I see in the parables is that the objects that he uses always have the same meaning. If he talks about a sower, the sower is always him. That's right. Through all the different parables about sowing. If he talks about leaven, leaven's never good. If he talks about birds,

they're dirty birds. Right. That's what I call them, they're dirty birds. And usually identified with Satan. Yes. So the sower is in one thing, in one parable, and something else in another parable. A bird is and represents one thing in one parable

and something else in another parable. Once you understand, let's say this thing about the key. Once you understand what these objects represent, then you can decipher the other parables. So now let's go to verse 20 and see what it says. So verse 20 says, but he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word and anon with joy received it. And so once again, we see that this is identifying the seed or that which was sown as a person, an individual. So the word and that which was sown are together in the same thing. See the very next thing in verse 23. So in verse 22 here, it says,

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. Rick, I think if people really get a hold of this, understanding of this,

it becomes so much richer in understanding this particular parable. It goes on in verse 23 to say, but he that received seed, this is verse 23, into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth it, which also beareth fruit and bringeth forth some hundredfold, some sixty and some 30. Praise God.

Well, we can take a look at the same parable in Mark, in the gospel according to Mark, chapter 4, verses 13 through 20. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will you know all parables? The sower soweth the word, And he said unto them, they likewise which are sown on stony ground who when they have heard the word immediately receive it with gladness and have no root in themselves and so endure but for a time afterward when affliction or persecution arises for the word's sake immediately they are offended and these are they which are sown among thorns such as hear the word and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches and the lust of other things entering in,

choke the word and become unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground, such as hear the word and receive it and bring forth fruit, some 30, some 60, and some 100. Okay, so now, the question again, is the seed the word or is it the people who received the seed? All right, now,

over in Luke 8, and I don't know if we have this built out. This would be 11 through 15. We do have that. We do? Yes. Okay, let's take a look at this. All right, so now the parable is this.

The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are they that hear, then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which when they hear receive the word with joy and these have no root which for a while believe and in temptation fall away and that which fell among thorns are they which when they have heard go forth and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life and bring no fruit to perfection but that on the good ground are they

which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it and bring forth fruit with patience. But that on the good ground, put that back up there if we can see that. But that on the good ground are they which in an honest and good heart,

having heard the word, keep it and bring forth fruit with patience. Those people who are on the good ground, which in an honest and good heart, that's the good, that's the ones who produce a harvest. Okay? Again, they heard the word. But it's not the word that's sown. It's the people. And this is the distinction which I'm trying to get across. The word is the,

the seed is the word of God. Right. But what is sown by the sower are the people. Right. Does that make sense? It makes sense to me. And when we get into the parable of the tares, it'll make perfect sense then

because it becomes very clear that people are sown in that particular parable. Yes. I mean, it's very obvious there. And so if you understand that and you have this understanding from here, I tell you, this is going to be a great journey for many of you in understanding the parables. Yeah. I wish we had another 30 minutes,

but we've got about 30 seconds for this episode coming to a close. Make sure you come back every day throughout this week. Next week, we're gonna be talking about all the parables and we're gonna just keep drilling down deeper and deeper to find the richness of the word of God. Get into the Bible, study the word, ask the Lord to give you revelation of the word and come back every day for another edition of Morning Manna. We thank you so much.
