I'm Rick Wiles. This is True News for Friday, November 8, 2024. Let's begin our analysis and commentary of today's news with this Newsweek headline, Will Joe Biden Pardon Hunter Before He Leaves the White House?

Now, why are we starting this program with the discussion of a pardon of Hunter? Well, Doc, I brought this up to you last week before the election. Yes. And I said, Doc, I'm going to give you a scenario that after the election, whether Kamala whether kamala harris wins or not right joe biden will resign and it will be done for this purpose uh it'll move kamala harrison to the white house if she is if she wins the election she'll have a head start she'll get inside the white house right away but if she doesn't win the election, she will become the first female president. Right.

Even if it's only three months, November, December, January. But I said, I believe the real reason would be this, to pardon Hunter Biden. Now, technically, Joe Biden could do it. Right, as we saw in that Newsweek headline. He could. But it would be kind of not right, right? Squeamish, it'd be, you know, tacky. But somebody else could.

Somebody else could. And what I proposed to you last week before the election, it might have been the week before the election, was Kamala Harris. If you're just presenting this to her from the viewpoint of an advisor saying, hey, this would be really good for you, for your image. You move into the White House. You pardon Hunter Biden. You give a pardon to Donald Trump for anything he needs a pardon

for. And you're now the hero. And you're only there for three months. What can go wrong in three months? You've calmed down the country. You've said, we're not going to put the president's son in prison. We're not going to prosecute the newly elected president

um i i campaigned and said i wanted unity well i just did it i'm unifying the country and and you know i tossed that out privately here to doc a couple weeks ago and just said i wouldn't rule this out and then suddenly doc started showing me these headlines. Right, this week. This week. So the first one is about a pardon for Hunter Biden. And in this one, Doc, it actually mentions the possibility that Donald Trump will pardon Hunter Biden. Which you've also talked about as well.

I didn't know that Donald Trump earlier this year said he was open to the idea. Right. So I'm certain Hunter Biden is going to walk away with a pardon. They're shutting down the prosecution of Donald Trump. Yes. And so the biggest thing hanging out there right now is Hunter Biden going to to prison on gun and tax charges and the sentencing is december 4th on that coming up and that's actually been re that was rescheduled from i think earlier this uh summer they postponed it to after the election right so there would

have to be a pardon before the sentencing in early december Now, the next one is News Nation. Biden should resign so Harris can have presidential moment. And this is a statement by, who is Bardella? Kurt Bardella. Yes. And he's a news commentator, contributor to News Nation. Right. The Scripps Howard service that's out there now.

With nothing left to run for, President Joe Biden should pardon his son Hunter and then resign in order to elevate Kamala Harris to the presidency, said News Nation contributor Kurt Berdella. Now, so they've got it

the other way around. So he would, Joe Biden would pardon his son and then leave the White House. Right. So the article from News Nation says, make one more mark in the history books while you can. I'm not saying this is going to happen,

but if I were Joe Biden, that's exactly what I would do. President-elect Donald Trump said in October that he would not rule out pardoning Hunter Biden should he win in November's election. He said, I wouldn't take it off the books. See, unlike Joe Biden, despite what they've done to me, where they've gone after me so viciously, this Donald Trump, despite what, and Hunter's a bad boy. There's no question about it.

He's been a bad boy, Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. But in a panel discussion that occurred earlier this week, Kurt Bridella talked to some other members of the News Nation team there about this possibility about Joe Biden stepping down and Kamala Harris stepping up. Yeah, and I think that if you're President Joe Biden, there's nothing left to run for. There's nothing left to really do. Pardon your son, then resign and elevate Kamala Harris to the presidency and make one more mark in the history books while you can. Whoa, what do you mean by that? You think that's going to happen? What does it matter if we're first female president? I'm not saying that's going to happen, but if I were Joe Biden, that's exactly what I would do.

Again, you have a very short runway left of being relevant and of being able to make your mark in a historic way. Why not do it that way? You know, it's not the craziest thing I've ever heard, Blake. No, it's not crazy at all. I wouldn't rule it out. A lot can change in the next 30 days. That's right. It sure can. And then Breitbart also picked up on the story as well. Kamala Harris can still become the first female president if Biden resigns.

And I don't know if they did this independently from the News Nation story or not, but they did run this. It says that Harris lost decisively to former President Donald Trump, now President-elect Trump on Tuesday, dashing hopes that a woman would finally break through the so-called glass ceiling and reach the Oval Office, but she still can if Biden follows through on a promise to be a transitional candidate and steps aside for Harris. Now, remember that Joe Biden did say that a long time ago. He says if he does not, Biden will have consigned Harris to the anonymous task of presiding over the Senate during the certification of Donald Trump's victory over her on January 6th. And American women may wait years for another chance. Already, there are many critics who say that Biden should have resigned months ago when it became clear that he lacked the mental and physical stamina to do the job.

Republicans were incredulous in July when Democrats booted Biden from the top of their presidential ticket, ostensibly because of his infirmity, yet kept him in the White House amid a faltering U.S. economy and wars around the world that threatened to become major global conflagrations. Okay. Now, let's jump down to number five. This is Change.org, which is a far-left organization. Make Kamala Harris the 47th U.S. president by asking President Biden to resign immediately. Now, there's something underway. This is not, this isn't organic when you see this this many uh news organizations and political organizations right at the same time it's like suddenly on the same day everybody starts saying kamala harris should be president joe biden we're done with him. Go ahead, Joe.

Resign, retire, leave. We need Kamala in there for three months. But something changed last night, Rick. Changed, well, no pun intended on change.org. But change.org took that petition down last night around 11 o'clock. Oh, really? They took it down. Because I think they're floating another idea out there, Rick,

instead of Kamala Harris for president, maybe for another office or another role. Okay. So while driving in this morning, I was listening to news talk on radio, and I heard a discussion. And when I got to the office, I looked it up to see what I could find about it. This is Newsweek. Justice Sonia Sotomayor faces renewed calls to retire after Trump win. Now, Rick, have there been calls for her to retire? Maybe I missed it. No, I don't recall. Why? Is there something wrong?

That's what I'm asking. I haven't heard of any health issues. I'm not sure how old she is, but I'm sure she's not 80. I mean, I'm not a fan of her. She's a left-leaning judge, but she's appointed for life. She hasn't done anything. She hasn't done any criminal acts. She's in full use of her mind. Why is he suddenly facing renewed calls to retire and to do it immediately while Joe Biden is still in the White House?

Suddenly what brought this about? Right. Well, I think you're onto something, Doc. So the next one is, this is CNN. And who are we going to hear in this? You've got John Berman from CNN speaking with Bakari Sellers, commenting on these discussions about Sotomayor possibly stepping down. And then... And who would replace her?

Well, perhaps Kamala Harris, Rick. Let's watch. And get it all on the floor. No room for error or delay. What do you think about that, Bakari? No, I think that's actually a very good plan. I think it's something that should happen. You know, Justice Sotomayor has been a more than able justice. I know that she may be having some personal issues that she contends with while serving on the bench. But, you know, I don't want Justice Sotomayor to be another Ruth Bader Ginsburg in terms of staying too long. What does

this mean for the dynamic of the court? The court is 6-3 now. If we're able to replace it with a Biden justice, it will still be 6-3. The possibility of Justice Sotomayor having to resign or retire in the next four years is extremely high. You couple that with Alito and Clarence Thomas, then that means that you go from a seven a six three court to a seven two court in terms of conservative versus uh liberal and so i hope that joe biden makes the next 10 weeks as consequential as he can um i don't care about drawing outside the lines or what republicans may think about it this is within your purview you can actually do it and you should do it and you know one more thing john is you have a hell of a vice president right there who has a legal pedigree uh to sit on the supreme court and let republicans go crazy and hate i'm even mentioning that option you're

floating are you floating this is you know 7 39 a.m on the east coast did bakari sellers just float vice president kamala harris as a potential Supreme Court nominee? Not only am I floating it, but I want to stir up everything. I want people's heads to explode this morning so we go into the weekend just knowing that the chaos has not ended just yet. So that the chaos has not ended. Yeah. That's just what we need. Yes.

More chaos. More chaos. It's an interesting scenario, isn't it, Rick? You know, that's why I say – They eat their own. Yeah. They really do. They eat their own. Now, so to my error, she has type 1 diabetes, and when she travels, she'll travel with a medic.

But millions of Americans live with diabetes, okay? And they travel, and they work, and they do things and are successful and stuff. She's 70 years old and 70 now is the new 40 really. What he's concerned about is that maybe in the next four years her health deteriorates. Right. She has to resign and Donald Trump gets to fill the seat. Right. So take her out now.

Eat your own. Take her out now and put Kamala Harris on the Supreme Court for life. Right. Now, Rick, the reality of the situation is if that were to happen, let's just play this out. Really, is there enough time to get her approved? No, and they don't have enough votes. The Democrats only have a slim majority in the Senate right now. That disappears in December.

I think the new senators take office in December. It could be early January. Maybe it is early January. And they don't have enough votes. The only way that they could do it, they'd have to they would have to browbeat the Republican senators with guilt and shame. How dare you vote against Kamala Harris, a woman of color? What is wrong with you? She's the

Vice President of the United States. Are you saying she's not qualified? I mean, I could see a Lindsey Graham saying, because Lindsey Graham, isn't he still chairman of the Judiciary Committee? I believe that he is. I could see Lindsey Graham saying she's qualified. We have to ratify her. She's qualified. We have to affirm the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris. And I can see it happening.

Now, I wouldn't rule out the Republicans doing it. Because their viewpoint is going to be, we're not changing the balance of power in the court. We're just switching seats. But she'll just be there longer. So, the next one is New York Post. Former New York mayor and current billionaire

Mike Bloomberg slams the Democrats for concealing Biden's decline. He said probably wasn't great to cover up his infirmities. Where were you, Mike Bloomberg? Well, you owned Bloomberg News. He didn't have a platform to say something? I mean, I never read in Bloomberg News that he was infirm.

But now the blame game has started. Right. And now they're admitting. We all knew he was infirm. And they're admitting it was covered up. Well, I don't know if he was really infirm or not i saw his press the biden press conference yesterday he looked happy he looked alert he looked like he was ready to skip across the white house lawn i mean suddenly he doesn't have dementia anymore. Maybe just the pressure is taking off on him. But you're right. The blame game is on.

I've heard them blaming Biden. Now they're blaming the Democrats as a whole. But the Democrats didn't stand up and say anything when they had the opportunity. Mike Bloomberg, he had the opportunity through his platform bloomberg news to make that case but no you didn't do it well he wrote an op-ed on a online site analyzing mr trump's victory and mr bloomberg suggested that the democrats quote might ask themselves how exactly they lost to trump who he called an ailing 78 year old who much of the country despises he much of the country he just won the popular vote and the electoral college these guys don't get it they they don't understand why they lost do they look at the map look at the

electoral map two-thirds of the country three i'd say three-fourths of the country is in red oh i'd say closer to 80 to 85 80 of the land mass of the of the country is in red republican red and he says much of the country despises him no much of the country despised the leftist Democrats and told them on Tuesday, we've had enough of this stuff. But these guys don't get it. He went on to say, Mr. Bloomberg said, it probably wasn't great to cover up President Biden's with Harris, a nominee who had received no electoral votes and had failed decisively in a previous presidential run. Spoken by a previously failed presidential candidate. Yes. Who didn't get any votes either.

That's right. Reuters. Trump's Republicans hold narrow edge in the fight for the u.s house majority so they've picked up a couple seats doc i think i want to say four they've actually gained i think four seats over where they were at previously uh but there are currently there are 30 no 24 house seats that have not been decided yet. Yes. Where the votes are still being counted.

But most observers say there's little chance the Democrats can pick up enough of those seats. Yeah, essentially, they'd have to run the board on the remaining outstanding elections. Democrats would have to virtually win every single one of those races in order to gain control of the House. Yeah, and they just won another Senate race last night in Pennsylvania. Beat out Bob Casey. Yeah, he'd been there for a long, long time. His father had been the governor of Pennsylvania. Again, I grew up in Maryland. That name, Casey, it's one of those names that you just know is Pennsylvania north of the border.

But Casey was, you know, a well-entrenched family name in Pennsylvania. So Mr. Casey has lost his seat. He hasn't conceded defeat yet. But it's, I mean, Associated Press, everybody else has said you've lost. I think it's McCormick. Mr. McCormick is the winner. So that's four. And McCormick is very pro-life.

Yes. Very pro-life. Bob Casey was the last remaining pro-life Democrat, but he's been soft on it for the past couple of elections. So the Republicans picked up four Senate seats. So they're in a very strong position going into this next Congress. So it's possible for Donald Trump to have carried the White House, the Senate, and the House. Yes. So there would be no excuse for any of his agenda items not to go through. They cannot tell you.

Republicans cannot. They cannot have a rerun of what we've had in the past when the Republicans controlled Congress. Right. All three branches. And you have a, you know, House Speaker Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, staying in the way of the president, blocking the major objectives he's trying to get passed. Can't allow that again. They have, the voters have given them everything that they've asked for again.

You have all three branches of government. Make something happen. Yes. And if you don't make something happen, that's when you lose the next election. Hey, one House seat that I've been watching that really encouraged me was up in Alaska. Did you see Nick Begich on his fourth time did he win running he won i met his dad a couple times uh you know back in the early well mid 90s and everything angels don't play this harp yeah his dad was also named nick baggage uh this is nick baggage the third but yes he has they he's

a democrat right no he's republican oh he is. Okay, so he won a House seat. Yes. Well, that's interesting. Yeah. Some of you probably know the book, Angels Don't Play This Harp. Yeah. Talking about the harp system, not a musical instrument. I want to look at some of the Democrats that are refusing to face reality.

Governor Newsom calls a special session to Trump proof California. He called the he's calling the California legislature to a special session to pass emergency laws to trump proof the state of california look at the map governor he should look at a map of california yes look look at the map yeah it was virtually all red except for the left coast there. Even the state of California, returning back to its roots. And that's a significant change since 2020, too. The map was about 50-50

blue and red in 2020. It's about 3-1 now, red to blue. California used to be a Republican state. Ronald Reagan came from California. Back in the days of John Wayne and all the cowboy actors, they were all Republicans.

Hollywood was Republican. Right. By the way, I stand corrected. Begich is Democrat. He is Democrat, yes. Sorry. I mentioned David McCormick, so this is the headline. He defeated Bob Casey. Another governor, New Jersey governor, says he will fight to the death against Trump's actions.

This is Phil Murphy of New Jersey. Sir, you need to look at the map. New Jersey is in the minority. The teeny weeny little minority. You're out of alignment with the vast majority of the American people. You're going to fight to the death?

You guys don't get it. The people are tired of this attitude. I'm going to fight Trump to the death. Anybody that starts this, I really think they're risking their career. They're not going to go anywhere. They might have – I mean it's inside their state. Right. But you're not going to get outside of your state. Right.

Because nobody wants to hear it. And moving forward, not even the Democrats want to hear it because they're going to want to win in 2028. Oh, I've heard a lot of the Democrats in the past two days talk about a soul-searching process to change their message. You know, they've got to get rid of the wild, extreme left. They've got to become more. They've got to go back to their roots, talking about wages and the working class. Right. They've lost the working class. Who would have ever thought? A billionaire got the working class. That's right.

And he did it across racial boundaries. Right. But this attitude now of we're going to fight Donald Trump. We have some sort of mandate now. We're going to fight donald trump but we have you know some sort of mandate now we're going to fight to phil murthy says to the death to the death really they don't get it doc uh let's let's go ahead let's look at a federal reserve chairman jerome pow Powell says he's not going to resign. Don't have to. Won't do it. Move on. Next question, please. Obviously, he believes that Donald Trump wants him to resign.

So he's sending out the message right now. I'm not resigning. If President Trump asks me to resign, I'm not going anywhere. Can the president fire him? No. So the president has no control over our central bank? No. No. Who can fire the head of the Federal Reserve? Nobody. Nobody can fire him. So an unelected position that controls the economy.

Until his term is over, he can serve out his term, and he doesn't have to be reappointed, but you can't fire them. Okay. It's an independent board, Doc. Let's get Ron Paul in here.

Let's shut the Fed down. That's the kind of power that they have. That's right. I want to jump down to the – let's see. Number 15, Doc. I'm not sure on this one. After Trump's win, many despondent Americans research moving abroad. Really?

Oh, I saw today that Prime Minister Trudeau in Canada said his government is preparing for a surge of asylum seekers. Yeah, right. There's nobody moving to Canada. It's just not going to happen. Nothing against Canada. These people are just mouth. They're just mouthy. They're not going to move it.

They're not going to move and go to Canada. But Trudeau is saying our government is gearing up for the possibility of a surge of asylum seekers. Oh, they're going to cross the border? Yes, and plead for political asylum to get away from Donald Trump. Okay, this next one is, this is a video I saw yesterday on Twitter. from a Assyrian Orthodox bishop who is the bishop of Christ the Good Shepherd Church, New South Wales, Australia. And his name is H.G. Marr Emanuel. And he's got a very good message for President-elect Trump.

And I hope this man's message gets to Mr. Trump. Let's watch. Let me say this to Mr. Trump. My dear friend, with all love, I'm saying this to you. And you may know this, and I pray you know this already with all the wealth you have with all the power you have you have nothing until you have Jesus Christ he's your only hope so I pray you become the president this year لہذا میں اپنے ساتھ پیش کرتا ہوں کہ آپ اس سال پیش کریں اور جب آپ پیش کریں گے ڈرامپ پیش کرنے والے میں آپ کو یہ کرنا چاہتا ہوں کہ آپ کے اپنے لئے اور آپ کے بارے میں

اس لئے کہیں کہ آپ اپنے پاس امریکہ کی بارہ بلکہ کہیں کہ آپ ڈیسس کریسٹ آف نیزریت پیش کریں ڈرامپ پیش کریں کیونکہ آپ کو ایک خاص طور پر بات نہیں کریں گے کیونکہ آپ کو کسی طور پر بات کریں گپ کیونکہ آپ کو ایک خاص طرح سے بات نہیں کریں گے۔ کیونکہ کسی کو اللہ کو ایک گوڑا ہے اور کسی کو اللہ کو ہیدر ہے اور کسی کو اللہ کو ہے میں اس کے باقی نہیں جانتا ہوں ہے لیکن جب آپ کہتے ہیں کہ اللہ نے امریکہ کے ایمانوں سے بلکہ بلکہ کہنا چاہیے کہ نیزرس کے the United States of America, you better say Jesus Christ of Nazareth, because he is the only true God revealed in the flesh. There is no one else but him. Otherwise, you and America will go never to come back. I pray for you, Mr. Trump.

I wish America's evangelical religious right leaders would speak like this man. Yes. Because they won't tell him. Right. Now, he was the one that was attacked, stabbed. He lost eyesight, one of his eyes, earlier this year. That's right. That's the same church leader.

The man that ran in and attacked, was he in Holy Communion service? Yes. They were in the Eucharist. Good message. Yes. Now, of course, the big talk that's been going on all this week is the Trump transition team, everything that's going on. We've got some very interesting news here in just a few minutes, but there's talk about different people for different cabinet positions. Fox News yesterday, they had a short clip here about possible placements on the cabinet. This is Fox from yesterday. Good morning, guys. President-elect Donald Trump is already in the

process of meeting with his transition team and strategizing about how he will fill his next administration. So here's a look at some of the names being floated for top cabinet positions. Ben Carson could be back for another term as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Betsy DeVos could also be a repeat for Education Secretary. And Mike Pompeo could come back as Defense Secretary. Some of Trump's former GOP primary opponents, who have since turned into allies, are also in the mix here, including North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who has been mentioned as a potential pick

for Interior or Energy Secretary. Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who could be in the running for Secretary of State, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Agriculture or Secretary of Health and Human Services. Rubio and Kennedy are already weighing in on their potential future plans. Listen. I'm in the Senate. I have an opportunity to serve there, and he's going to need people in the Senate to help carry that agenda. But maybe that's the place for me to serve. Maybe there's some other capacity. I really don't know because we just came from that victory. In some categories of workers, their entire departments like the nutrition departments at FDA that have to go, that are not doing their job.

To eliminate the agencies, as long as it requires congressional approval, I wouldn't be doing that. But I can get the corruption out of the agencies. Senate Republicans are planning to work with the Trump team to begin cabinet nominee confirmation hearings before the inauguration on January 20th, 2025. Before the inauguration. So you just to see Bobby Kennedy running the FDA is worth it all. You know, and if Fauci were still in the government, can you imagine Fauci reporting to Bobby Kennedy? Yeah, in fact, the other day, Bobby Kennedy tweeted, where's Fauci?

Of course, he literally wrote the book on Dr. Fauci. Yes. I'm going to drop down to number 20. We had some fun with this last night at our house trump taps campaign co-manager suzy wiles as white house chief of staff well i happen to be married to suzy wiles all right that's uh you can put that out there i i've had a long private personal relationship with Susie Wiles for decades. My wife is Susie. And this Susie Wiles lives in Florida.

And my Susie Wiles lives in Florida. There's going to be a lot of, you know, there's going to be a lot of mistaken identity. Yes, there is. And it's great. I got to play this to the max on this. If people say, are you married to Susie? Yes, I am. I'm married to Susie Wiles.

Do you live in Florida? Yes, I live in Florida. Do you live in South Florida? Yes. Anyhow, she's going to be the first female White House Chief of Staff. Now, this is the first news I've heard that gives me

encouragement, Rick. Why is that? Because he didn't go like the Rince Priebus route or anything along that line. He went with a loyalist this time. Yes, and a low-key loyalist who doesn't want in the forefront. She doesn't want the limelight. She doesn't want the publicity. She's not after power. She's just a quiet worker who gets things done. And between her and the other members of the Trump campaign team, they pulled off a successful campaign.

So this, if there's to be any encouragement in that, if that's any indication of where we're going with these cabinet appointments, don't do Mike Pompeo. Please, please, President Trump, don't put Mike Pompeo back there. A year ago, he was encouraging the Jack Smith investigation. And so it's going to be interesting to see how all these different events shake out. One other person that is shaking the tree a little bit is a potential attorney general pick. This is the Daily Mail. This is actually from earlier this week, this article, but we had a video from yesterday that we're going to share with you here in just a moment.

I don't know who this guy is, but just the little bit I've read about him, like this is your man. Oh, yes. This guy, this is a lawyer with rabies. Yes. All right. He is, he's tough.

He's mean. You got to keep him on a chain. That's the kind of attorney general you want. Yes. He is. He's tough. He's mean. You got to keep him on a chain. That's the kind of attorney general you want. If Mr. Trump had an attorney general like this gentleman, he never would have gone through all the trouble he endured from his own attorney generals. Yes. So who is this gentleman? Mike Davis. Well, he's a lawyer that's close to President-elect Donald Trump.

And he claims he wants to drag the political bodies of Democrats through the streets. Now, he just means that figuratively, of course. He says, here's my current mood, Davis wrote on X Wednesday. He said, I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall. But he prefaced that by saying legally, politically, and financially, of course. The Washington Post reported last month that Donald Trump was considering combative lawyers who appear on TV like Davis for the top job at the Justice Department. President Trump had reportedly told advisers and donors that his picks for the job were a mistake in the first term because they were weak or defied him. The president-elect praised Davis at a campaign event in Colorado, saying, this guy is tough as hell.

We want him in a very high capacity. Davis was chief counsel for Trump's judicial nominations during his first term. Davis, who has been described by Politico as Trump's troll in chief, has often spoken of sending journalists and political opponents to the gulag. He has claimed he is joking uh yesterday on the benny johnson show he appeared and speaking with uh benny there uh he had some uh choice words to say about the prosecution donald trump by letitia james now just warning you in advance if you have soft ears, be prepared. But he's talking about Letitia James, the Attorney General of the state of New York, who has prosecuted Donald Trump, destroyed his business. And even yesterday said, I'm going to continue to fight.

Yes. She threw down the gauntlet and said, there is no way that I am going to stop prosecuting Donald Trump. And don't you dare think that I am going to not go after him. This is what this is what Mr. Davis said to Letitia James. Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York attorney general. I dare you. I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term. Because listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time and we will put your fat in prison for conspiracy against rights. And I promise you that. So think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump's constitutional rights or any other Americans' constitutional rights, it's not going to happen again.

We've been warning people on the show, Mike, this isn't the same Trump administration. Stop messing around. Don't rig elections. Don't illegally vote. Don't try the funny business because we know the team this time and they are not effing around. There's a different attitude. They're going to go after these guys.

Now, they can't go after them and just say, we're going to put you people in prison. What Mr. Trump needs to do, there needs to be serious in-depth investigations. investigations, I think I said this yesterday, into whether there was collusion between Department of Justice prosecutors, maybe even judges, members of the news media, political organizations, Soros funded organizations. Was there secret conspiracy, collusion, to take down Donald Trump when he was in the White House? Right. Bring the evidence out. collusion to take down Donald Trump when he was in the White House right bring the evidence out

the emails are still out there somewhere yes and there's a paper trail somewhere it might implicate Kamala Harris she may have been coordinating all the legal tactics going on or Barack Obama right okay so yes

go after them in that manner because the country deserves to know the truth. If it's just revenge, don't do it. I'm not going to support it if it's just revenge. But if there is evidence that they colluded against the president to destroy, I would say 99 percent chance. Yes, they did did it's so obvious but find the evidence just don't say it just don't say we believe that they don't show us the evidence and then prosecute them because these people can't be they can't be allowed to get away with this because after uh donald trump they'll just do it to the next president right because they'll say hey it worked right so what they have to say is we went to prison and future political activists will remember for decades to come don't ever do that you get caught you're going to go to prison so this guy mike davis is tough i hope he becomes the attorney general uh let's take a look at what's going on in the Middle East. Interesting story here, Rick.

It is. Reports claim Netanyahu's office collected sensitive videos of IDF officer and former defense chief Gallant. Doc, when you read the headline about an hour ago, what was the very first thought before you ever read the story? What was the first thought that came into your mind? That they've caught him in some sort of relationship. Well, that's what I thought. That's what I thought. And when I say relationship, I mean a sexual relationship. Precisely. That's what I thought. And I don't know if it's true.

I don't know if that's what they have, but that's the inference in the headline. Right. Okay. So it says, and again, this just came out today, Times of Israel. Several reports on Thursday night claimed that Prime Minister Netanyahu's office had separately collected sensitive security camera videos of both recently fired defense minister galant and an idf officer who worked at the prime minister's office for unclear purposes the prime minister's office denied the claim calling them defamatory fabrications. Multiple Hebrew outlets such as Haratz and Ynet and others reported that IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi

was informed several months ago that the Prime Minister's office was in possession of sensitive footage of a senior military figure who had worked with the office. Halivi was told that the footage had been used in a questionable manner. Now the other thing that I gathered from this talk is that Netanyahu's minions were sorting through security camera video right I mean in the hallways in in the

parking lots wherever you have security cameras I mean he is it was a defense chief okay you can assume there's a lot of cameras that tells me that Netanyahu was deliberately had people going through security camera raw video looking for any kind of compromising action by Gallant. And the article talks about it. One of the videos had him in an argument with somebody like in a parking lot. Right. So they were gathering and think about this is the prime minister and he's gathering dirt on his cabinet secretary which happens to be chief of the military. Right. I mean what a sneaky low life with an ongoing several

fronts of a war going on oh now the article goes on to say and doesn't detail but it says it's related to the scandals currently connected with the prime minister's office they've got about three or four of them running right now and that uh the two senior officials according to the reports were involved in extracting information from the prime minister's office. So it's interesting to see how this went. But when I saw the headline, I'm just going, what in the world is going on over there? One of the scandals, what little I know about it that came out in the past two weeks is that there are accusations that Netanyahu changed the official transcripts of the government documents of his private meetings of the war cabinet. Right.

In a government, everything's written down. Right. Everything that somebody is saying in a meeting is transcribed, is kept for historical purposes. The reports are indicating that Netanyahu changed the transcripts and the first thought that i had was because it implicated him in war crimes if he was saying like a year ago with gaza you know cut off the food cut off the water cut off the electricity If somebody got their hands on those documents, they've got the evidence for war crimes. So did Netanyahu go in and have his people change the transcripts and Gallant knew because he was in the meetings.

That's what I'm thinking. The reason he was retrieving documents from Netanyahu's office is because Gallant had the originals. Right. And it's going to show, hey, these documents have been changed. And so what was Netanyahu doing? Gathering dirt on Gallant. He's a low-life rascal.

I can't imagine working for that guy. Mr. I got a number 25. Mr. Putin had some comments about the West, and he said it's degenerated. He said, liberalism in the West has devolved into an aggressive and intolerant ideology in which freedom, democracy, and human rights take a backseat to power. The Russian president is accusing the West of being degenerates, that they are enemies of freedom, democracy, and human rights. And he said, today, this is a quote from Putin, today's Western liberalism, in my opinion, has degenerated into extreme intolerance and aggression toward any alternative,

towards any sovereign and independent thought, and now justifies neo-Nazism, terrorism, racism, and even mass genocide of the civilian population. Who's he talking about? The West. But who's the mass genocide? There's only one place on the planet right now doing mass genocide. That's Israel.

Right. So Putin has now said the West is ruled by degenerates. And they're neo-Nazis. They're neo-Nazis and they justify genocide. And Mr. Putin actually knows what the definition of a Nazi is. Unlike folks who throw the name around here. So the Russian president called this trend towards tyranny as one of the biggest threats to the emerging multipolar world order.

And he had something to say about democracy in the West. It's very accurate. Democracy is increasingly being interpreted as minority rule rather than the rule of the majority. And traditional democracy is even being put at odds with some abstract freedom for the sake of which, as some believe, democratic procedures, elections, the opinion of the majority, freedom of speech, and impartiality of the media can be disregarded or even sacrificed.

So what abstract freedom is he talking about? Sexual freedom. Yes. Transvestitism, homosexuality. Freedom to chop parts off your kids' bodies. Yes. And they're sitting over there in Moscow going, these people over there in the United States, they're degenerates.

God would call degenerates reprobates. But that's how the world is seeing us. And thank God half of the country, actually more than half of the country, pulled a break on this, Doc. I don't know how hard of a break it is

because in seven states, people voted for abortion. Right. And let's face it, most Republicans, you know, they're accepting of gay marriage now and all these different things. And so that's right. Gay marriage is is is embraced in the Republican Party. Why is Mr. Biden moving B-52s to Europe and the Middle East? Yes.

Earlier this week, they moved six B-52s. Six? Yes. To the Middle East. Yes, earlier this week they moved six B-52s. Six? Yes, to the Middle East. Are they expecting something in the next three months? That's what I'm thinking. Right. That the Biden administration

is bracing for the possibility that there's going to be military action before Biden leaves the white house which might be another reason for biden to turn it over to kamala harris and say there you go sister i'm out of here i'm going to delaware you wanted it there it is you got it yeah manage the war for a few months so don't rule it out yes don't rule it out. Yes. Don't rule it out that by Christmas there's a major war going on and we're led by President Kamala Harris. Don't rule it out. It's a real possibility.

But they've moved B-52s to Europe and B-52s to the Middle East. The Middle East was because of the possibility of an Iranian attack on Israel. But what's going on with Europe? Are they expecting Putin to do something in the next three months? Is Putin going to Putin-proof the war? Oh, that's a twist on that. Yeah, try saying it three times. But is that what they're expecting and he's going to do something to put in proof the war and say okay uh now we're going to now

we're going to have negotiations i i don't know but it's it's an unusual thing when six b-52 strategic bombers are deployed in the same week that's one of those things where you just sit up and go, now that's unusual. Things that make you go, hmm. Europe cannot finance Ukraine war if Trump pulls U.S. out of the conflict, says Hungary's Viktor Orban. This is a CNBC report. Yes, it says that Europe alone cannot shoulder the financial strain of supporting Ukraine against the ongoing Russian invasion. That's coming from Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, warning that closely allied President-elect Donald Trump would likely steer Washington out of the conflict. He said Europe alone cannot finance this war.

Some people still want to. They still want to send enormous amounts of money to this otherwise lost war. But there is a growing number of people who remain silent, even though they used to be loud. People still want to. They still want to send enormous amounts of money to this otherwise lost war. But there is a growing number of people who remain silent even though they used to be loud. Orban was speaking this to national radio in a Google translated comment reported by a state-owned media outlet. Went on to say the Americans will get out of the war in Ukraine. They will not encourage it. They will not say that the war is a good thing. He added many things are said about Donald Trump, but no one questions one thing, that he does not start a war.

He's a person who hates war, a real businessman who thinks that life and things go well when there is no war. Of course, Victor Orban visited Mar-a-Lago here about two months ago, I believe. And so Victor Orban and Donald Trump have a pretty good relationship. And also, Viktor Orban is the darling of the conservative movement here in the U.S. They've had special conferences and everything over there.

But it's interesting that if this war in Ukraine could either rapidly escalate or rapidly de-escalate. Well, the only way it can rapidly escalate is if NATO and the Biden administration hit the gas accelerator now and try to do something before Trump gets in the White House. Biden is rushing military equipment to Ukraine this month. And the Pentagon late yesterday authorized another $6 billion in aid, released another

$6 billion in aid to Ukraine. So they're definitely trying to get as much money and military equipment, ammo and such to Ukraine before January 20th. And there's another clock that's ticking too and that's winter winter is starting to descend upon eastern europe and by the end of november you're going to have harsh weather harsh temperatures that you're going to have to deal with that's right hey i want to um there's an address on the screen as you see right there p.o box 399 vero beach florida 32961 that's our mailing address and i humbly request that our viewing audience send a gift this month we need a boost and you've got different ways to

Anybody in your home who is saved, born again, and baptized, all are welcome to join with us with brothers and sisters all over the world. It just happens that today our verses are from Matthew 26, and we're talking about

the Lord instituting His Supper. And those are the verses that we're going to be studying today. We're going to pick up at verse 25 and go to verse 30. Let's pray. Dear Gracious Father, Father, we thank you for this awesome, beautiful day. And we give you glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving. Father, thank you for inviting us to your table that we can commune with our Lord Jesus Christ. Father, we're beauty of your word, Father, that we may know Jesus Christ more deeply and share his love with others. In the name of Jesus, amen. Amen. As Rick mentioned, we are in chapter 26 of Matthew, and we're going to pick back up on verse 25 today. So if you have your

Bibles, read along with me. I'm reading from the King James this morning. Verse 25, Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it and break it and gave it to the disciples and said, take, eat. This is my body. And he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, drink ye all of it. For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives. Alright. Verse 25. We're picking up from yesterday. Jesus had told the disciples, one of you will betray me.

And each of the disciples asked Jesus, is it me? Is it I? Am I the one? So now we get to Judas. He's the last one. Judas, who betrayed him, answered, Is it me? It isn't me. Is it, Rabbi, Master? Jesus said to him, You said it. So Judas, the betrayer, asked Jesus if he is the betrayer, and yet he knew the answer. He knew his own intentions. He knew his own actions. And yet, as a great actor, a hypocrite, he addressed Jesus as master, rabbi,

great teacher, which is a facade of respect. This guy was really two-faced. A person who is two-faced has guile. And guile is worth an entire lesson someday. Maybe we'll do that, Doc. We'll just have a lesson on guile. But I think Judas was full of guile, meaning he was two-faced. exterior actions, attitudes, words, but his interior, his heart, was just the opposite. And he could play this role and make people believe he was somebody he wasn't.

And so he comes up with this, Lord, Master, Teacher, Rabbi. It certainly isn't me, is it? You know, a drama queen. Not me. No way. It couldn't be me. And he's feigning innocence. Ignorance of his betrayal.

And this question, the way he asked it was, it was bold and audacious. He had no guilt, no remorse. As I said, he already knew he was the betrayer. And now he knows that Jesus knows, and he's still deceiving. So Jesus responds with the phrase, thou hast said, or you said it. Those are your words, which affirms Judas's question, confirms Judas's role as the betrayer. Hey, that's what you said. That's the word on the street. It's a way of saying, yeah, you got it.

You're the man. You're the betrayer. Jesus said, thou has said so the response from jesus acknowledges judas's question as true that he is indeed the Bible and the manuscripts comes from an Aramaic saying that means, yes imagine that Jesus said it in a soft, low voice so that only Judas heard it. It was not audible to the rest of the disciples. Again, I think, as I said yesterday, Jesus kept it. He didn't blurt it out so loud that everybody there at the table heard it you know people would have been dropping their eating utensils or cups whatever

you know jesus said hey judas you yeah you're the you're the snake that betrayed me. No, I think he almost whispered it to Judas. Yeah, you're the one. And nobody else heard it. And I think, as I said yesterday, it's for two reasons. Number one, so that there wasn't an outburst of indignation. So that Peter didn't jump up and grab Judas by his cloak and lift him up three feet off the ground. And the other reason is because Judas had to betray him. If the other men knew it was Judas, they were going to interrupt it.

They were going to interrupt it. They were going to stop it. They're going to be like, no, we're going to tie you up, dude. You're not going anywhere. So for that reason, I don't believe the other men heard Jesus say, yes, that's true. You're the one. Jesus' response was simple and direct. You have said so. Out of your mouth, you said it. Yeah, you're hung by the tongue

yeah the words came out of your mouth and there's a there's a sense of inevitability the fulfillment of prophecy Jesus knew Judas had to betray he knew it had to betray him.

He knew it had to happen. You wonder, you know, as I pointed out yesterday, Doc, Jesus had said earlier, one of you is a devil. And I, theologically, I don't know the answer to this. When did Jesus know that Judas was a devil? Before he called him? Or sometime after he called him? Well, the scripture I don't think really tells us,

but if we know that Jesus is God, then he probably knew before he called him. So, and that fits into the plan. Your human mind can't comprehend that. No. Because at what point was it Judas's choice, and at what point was it part of the sovereign plan of God? God certainly didn't make Judas do it, but at the same time, you know, he had foreknowledge of it, and that's the big question about, and for me, it's settled in my mind. The foreknowledge of God and the free will of man don't necessarily, they're not necessarily in opposition to one another. They both work. From our perspective, we have total free will. From God's perspective, he sees everything. So I'm of the persuasion that he knew beforehand. I feel confident.

You know, from our human perspective, you think about like an employer hiring 12 people and saying, and one of you, I got to hire one who will betray me to be murdered. It's like, you know, in the natural world, who's going to hire somebody, put them on your team, knowing that that person's going to arrange for you to be murdered hard to comprehend um i personally do not believe judas participated in the lord's supper i don't think so either. That would have been blasphemous.

I mean, that's just, that would have been blasphemous for him to stay and be there for the Lord's Supper. So this happened before the Lord's Supper. This is during Passover. Right. This is during Passover, but we've not yet transitioned to the institution of the Lord's Supper. Right. But we've not yet transitioned to the institution of the Lord's Supper. Right. And Judas had to get out of the room. He wasn't fit. He wasn't fit to be in the Lord's Supper.

Yeah, he didn't belong in that atmosphere, did he? No. You know, I've said this before. In the early church, in the first several centuries, it was the custom of churches, primarily they were meeting in homes. But it was customary to, when it came time for the Lord's Supper, they escorted all the unsaved and unbaptized people out of the room. Yes. Because he said, you're not even allowed to see the Lord's Supper. It's so holy. You can't even see it.

You have to leave. I wish we had that kind of reverence today for the lord's supper doc can you imagine on sunday morning a pastor saying we're going to have the lord's supper now deacons ushers please escort all the unsaved people out of the church. You'll have to go out and stand in the parking lot until this is over, and then you can come back in. What would people do?

Oh, they would be offended by that. I mean, even the people that remained would be offended by that. Yeah. You're talking about my cousin Joe. He can't stay. I brought him here. No, he can't stay. It's too holy.

If he wants to get saved right now and baptized, yes, he can stay. See, we've lost the holiness of the communion. We've lost the fear of God. Right. So so verse 26 and as they were eating Jesus took bread and blessed it and break it and gave it to the disciples's Supper today, you will hear Doc recite these very words. It is our belief, and we share this belief with many traditional congregations in the world, denominations in the world. That it is absolutely mandatory, essential, that the presiding minister recite the words of institution in order for the meal at the Lord's Supper to be acceptable to the Lord,

to be sanctified, to be blessed. You have to read these words. I've been in the past, years ago, I mean, churches that, they had such a flippant attitude about communion. It was basically, hey, we got some crackers and we got some juice and we have to do this every four months and put it in the records to send it up to the denominational headquarters. But there was no holiness, no reverence for what we were doing. But reading the words of institution is mandatory, in my view. So as they were eating, so Jesus transitioned from the Passover meal to the Lord's Supper without interruption as

they were eating what were they eating the Passover meal they went from the Passover meal directly into the Lord's Supper there was no major break in other words the Passover meal became the Lord's Supper it ceased being the Passover meal and quietly became the Lord's Supper so the Passover meal commemorates the liberation of the hebrews from slavery in egypt so now jesus institutes a new meal that's distinct from the passover and this new meal signifies the end of the old ceremonial law of moses and the introduction of a new covenant. Yes. The only being

who could do this is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Nobody else could do this. I mean, if Doc held a meeting and said, hey, I'm instituting a new covenant today, so what? I mean, if Doc held a meeting and said, hey, I'm instituting a new covenant today. So what? You can't back it up.

Oh, are you going to give your body and your blood for it? You're going to come back to life? I don't think so. Jesus is the only one that could institute a new covenant he's the only one with the authority to end the old covenant there you go and people need to understand that that the old covenant in place it's over and it's over for the jews too yes it ended for the jews 2 000 years ago it's over the only people who were participating in the old covenant at that time were the jews

there was it was not made the old covenant was not made for anybody else right it ended it god did not extend it it's not like an extended warranty on your car hey i can just keep renewing this no it's over it ended and he instituted a new covenant the next thing he did is that he took bread bread was a common element of the passover meal but now he gives it new significance new meaning how he says this is my body nobody ever said that about the passover meal right

nobody had the authority to say it moses didn't say it nobody nobody could say those words. And if he says, this is my body, it's his body. For me, end of discussion, this is my body. Right. It doesn't represent his body. It doesn't, you know, it's not a symbol of his body. It's not a remembrance of his body.

Jesus said, this is my body. And you can't be more plain than that. Jesus said it. What's the definition of is? Well, Bill Clinton didn't know years ago. Remember that? What is is? So he said, this is.

He didn't say this represents my body. This is a symbol of my body. He said, this is my body. So now Jesus blesses the bread, giving thanks to his Father in heaven for it, praying that his disciples may spiritually partake of him as the bread of life. And so he's signifying the imminentgiving is not merely for physical nourishment but for the spiritual life provided through the meal and then after the blessing the bread jesus breaks it now again as we participate in

the lord's supper today we're going to reenact all these things doc's going to hold up the bread and break it what does the breaking of the bread mean i think think it symbolizes, I think it has two double meaning. It symbolizes the violent destruction that would occur to Jesus' body through the crucifixion. The wounding, the piercing, the breaking of his body on the cross for the atonement of our sins. But it also represents the unity in the body of Christ. Yes. That we share in this new covenant. We are together, brothers and sisters worldwide.

We're unified in him. So then he distributed the bread. Jesus gave the bread to each man seated there that night. Wow. Can you imagine, Doc? Receiving from the hand of Jesus Christ the first communion. Wow. Yes.

There is a church. Let me think. It's in somewhere in, I think, in Iraq. that let's see let me get this straight because this was unleavened bread wasn't it yes there's an ancient church in Iraq that claims to have that their communion bread

so this would not be from this bread this batch but they claim that their communion bread, so this would not be from this bread, this batch, but they claim that their communion bread that's served in all the churches is from the original batch of bread that their church used at the start of their services 2,000 years ago. Yeah, it's, I came across it a couple of years ago. Now, it was 11 because it's the yeast. They're keeping the bread alive.

So again, he distributes the bread to the disciples he's signifying their participation in the spiritual significance of his impending sacrifice saying I'm going to do this for you these guys at that moment weren't even they had no idea what's up ahead just hours away but later they understood it but he's telling them you're participating with me I'm doing this for you we are one my body will be broken for you I'm not doing it for me I'm doing this for you. We are one. My body will be broken for you. I'm not doing it for me. I'm doing it for you. I'm not going to allow the Jews and the Romans to break my body just for

myself. This is for you. And he breaks the bread. In other words, he is breaking his body. It's his choice. It was at the hands of the Romans. It was at the hands of the Jews. But he broke his own body for us. Yes. He allowed his death. He allowed his death. The Jews didn't do it. The Romans didn't do it the Romans didn't do it Jesus says

look I'm breaking my body I'm doing it I'm doing it for you none of those men could comprehend the spiritual significance of what was taking place here we are 2,000 years later, we're still struggling with it. Yeah. The bread obviously represents Jesus' body given for his disciples, for all humanity. And it speaks of God's grace and salvation for mankind. He has given his body for humanity. God came to earth in human flesh and then gave up his human flesh for humanity. That's the significance of it.

Luke says, Luke 22, 19, that Jesus instructed his disciples to eat the bread in remembrance of me. When we participate in the Lord's Supper, we are remembering his sacrifice on the cross. That's what we're going to do in about 20 minutes. We're going to remember his sacrifice. But really, that word remembrance there has a deeper meaning. It's not just to acknowledge, you know, head knowledge. Hey, remember this? Actually, a better word there is memorial.

Like you're probably the closest comparison that we have in the Old Testament is when men of God would build an altar. An altar was more than just, you know, a pile of rocks. It was more than just a marker. This was a place where something significant happened. more than just you know a pile of rocks and was more than just a marker this is this was a place where something significant happened where god met man and so in many ways if you think about this uh the word there actually means setting up an altar a memorial to god that's how holy we need to uh take our view

toward this it's not just some oh just hi gosh i remember what jesus did no something significant happened not just in my life but in the world at this event yes you're absolutely right we have memorials for fallen soldiers it's not that you just go by and look at it remember what they did it memorial has a much deeper meaning. You're speaking of the depth of the sacrifice that was given. So it's a memorial for believers to understand the sacrifice that the Son of God made for us

because of our sinful nature. He didn't have to do this. This was a choice. God could have thrown in a towel a long time earlier. After the great flood, he could have said, you know what, I'm done with this stuff. These people can live and die and you know i got other things to do but he didn't leave us in this condition yes he he did not leave us in our falling condition he

had a plan the plan was to redeem us, and we could only be redeemed through blood. So, this is my body implies a sacramental form of expression, where the sign receives the name of the thing signified. There you go, yes. So eating the flesh of Christ imparts eternal life to believers. Read John chapter 6. Eat my flesh. Yes. If you do not eat my flesh, there is no life in you. You have no part of me. Verse 27, and he took the cup, and he gave thanks, and he gave it to them saying drink ye all of it the cup was taken after supper

according to Luke so the bread was taken during supper but the cup was taken after supper if I'm reading Luke correctly so it was the latter portion of the Passover celebration. Following the consumption of the meal.

The bread was eaten during the meal. The cup was drank at the end of the meal. We've finished the meal. The last thing you do is drink from the cup. And this is in the Passover meal. Right. So, Doc, my understanding is that the Passover meal for Jews has four cups of wine? Yes.

And I'm not sure what the significance of each of the cups is, but they do have four cups of wine that they serve at the Passover meal. I'll have to do some study into that because that came back to my mind yesterday, and I meant to look that up. But you're right. There were four cups within the Passover meal. because that came back to my mind yesterday, and I meant to look that up, but you're right, there were four cups in the Passover meal. Even though there's nothing in the Old Testament that signifies how many cups you should have, it's just tradition that came up over time.

That's right. So the instruction to drink from the cup underscores that this is the communal nature of this act. This is why a lot of old traditional denominations today have a communion cup. And everybody takes a sip of the wine from the cup. That's not done in a lot of other churches, but in many of the old traditional churches, the pastor,

the priest is taking the cup to each person, the same cup. Right. Now, a lot of them do a common bread, too. So the pastor or the priest will break the unleavened bread, and then they will take the unleavened bread and pass it along, and then each person breaks off a piece of the bread. Yes, that's right.

Which I like. I kind of like that idea of a common bread and everything. That way you're participating in the breaking because we all crucified Christ. There's nothing in Scripture that says to do it that way.

Jesus broke the bread. But I kind of like the idea of that. I do, too. I do, too. The wine was red during the Passover meal. It was red wine, which represented the blood of the lamb it represented the blood of the Passover lamb that was sprinkled on the doorposts of the Israelites which spared them from death during their deliverance from bondage in Egypt so Jesus instructs his disciples to drink all of the wine from the cup.

Drink ye all of it. Any thoughts, Doc, on the meaning of all of it? Well, there's two different perspectives on it some commentators and teachers say drink the that meant drink this all of you okay and the other side is drink all of it don't leave anything behind so there's two different perspectives on this regarding teaching. Traditionally, within Protestant circles, it has landed on the side of drink all of it rather than all of you drink it. Either way, either expression still applies for believers.

So if you're in a common meeting with the Lord's Supper, then everyone that's there should participate if you're confessing believers been baptized of course uh no one should sit it out in other words get things right and then everybody shares of the common cup and common bread but i'm of the persuasion that it means drink all of it eat all of it don't leave anything behind don't throw anything away i i you know i never saw the the uh the difference uh so it it comes down to the emphasis on all yes whether it means whether the all means the wine or the all means the people involved. So you're either saying all of you drink it, or you're saying those of you here drink all of it. That's open for interpretation, isn't it? Right.

And Rick, you brought up something yesterday about the wine itself that they're drinking. Water was added to that wine prior to the meal, which is significant because Jesus, when he was on the cross and the spear pierced his side, what happened? Blood and water flow yes so it's it's though all these little details and everything just all fit together and add together there so yes and that water speaks of baptism yes so the blood and so you you have communion and baptism in the blood and the water flowing out of Jesus' side. That, to me, is the significance of it. Verse 28,

For this is my blood of the New Testament, the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. So firstly, Jesus takes a cup of wine. Which in the Jewish Passover represented the blood of the covenant, the old covenant. Secondly, Jesus blesses the cup, consecrating it with a prayer that acknowledges its significance in the establishment of a new covenant. Thirdly, Jesus gives the cup to his disciples, instructs them to drink from it, and that symbolizes the participation of the whole church in the new covenant sealed by his blood. And fourthly, Jesus declares the purpose of the cup, stating that it represents his blood, which would be shed for the forgiveness of sins. And to establish the new covenant. Yes.

The new covenant is necessary for the remission of sins. The old covenant was not sufficient. The new covenant was not sufficient the new covenant was required so that all mankind could participate in the blessings of heaven the forgiveness of sins

so the old covenant there was the sprinkling of blood of the lamb's blood read that in Exodus 24 in the new covenant the new covenant is ratified it's sealed with the blood of the Son of God right Right. And the shedding of Jesus' blood clearly has one purpose, the remission of sins.

Sins can only be pardoned or forgiven through the blood of Christ. Without the blood of Christ, there's no remission of sins. Yes. It is the one necessary ingredient to wash away sins. It is the stain remover. Praise God. Because it means not only the pardon, it means the removal, the taking away of sins, even the stain of sin.

That's what remission means. It's actually a financial term. It's a removal, complete removal. It's not, well, we're kind of paying it off or we're covering it up or we're writing it off. No, there is a transaction that takes place. There was a debt that

had to be paid by sin. His blood pays that debt. That's right. And it can only be done through the blood. So again, we're going to go to the Lord soon, here in a few minutes. We're going to participate in this very event that we're studying here today.

I hope today's communion service has far more meaning than it's ever had for you before your sins are pardoned they're they're gone they're washed away you are you have entered a new covenant so it's wise to know the terms of the covenant what's in the covenant what are the promises in the covenant right it's look it's one thing to just say yeah i'm aware that we've got a new covenant but if you never study the terms of the covenant you miss the whole the whole purpose of it you go through life and never never utilize the promises in the Covenant of course the the biggest thing the biggest benefit of the New Covenant is the forgiveness of sins yes the promise of eternal life but there's more to it there's more to the New Covenant and that's why studying the Word of God is so important it's like having

a contract it's like having a will okay grandpa left this will to me i probably should read it i probably should read every line in this will but rick what happens is you find out there's a new will that he wrote after the will that you have so many people are still living under the old will i understand that's what i'm saying read the new will and the new will supersedes the old that's what i was going to say if the first line in the will says this will supersedes the preceding will then you take the old will and you toss it right it doesn't matter what's in the old will if you go to court with the old will the judge is going to throw it out he's going to say wait a minute you got this other will and it says this will supersedes

all the terms and promises in the first will why Why are you bringing this old will to me? I can't enforce it. And yet that's what you have Christian Zionists trying to do every day. Yes. They're trying to enforce the terms of an old will that's been declared

inactive. Shed for many speaks of the universality of the atonement. It's for the remission of sins. Shed for many. There's nobody who should who should be left out of the remission of sins if they do it is by their own choice because the the blood was shed for many worldwide all of humanity. Come one, come all.

I don't think we have time. I don't want to go too deep into the differences in theology with various denominations, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant, Orthodox. Each denomination has a different perspective about the communion. Many of them call it the Eucharist. That's not a Roman Catholic word. Eucharist simply is a Greek word that means Thanksgiving. This is the great Thanksgiving feast.

So I don't have any problem using the word Eucharist, speaking of communion. It's the great Thanksgiving feast. But the Roman Catholics have a different viewpoint than the Lutherans. The Lutherans have a different understanding than the Protestants, and the Orthodox have one completely different from everybody else um the the roman catholic theology is transubstantiation the lutheran is constant say this on substantiation yeah thank you thank you all right so um like i said we don't have really enough time to go into the details of these. I, the Lutherans see Christ as being present, Martin Luther said, in, with, and under the elements, the bread and the wine um whereas the roman catholics believe that during the roman catholic mass the bread and the wine actually changes into blood and flesh the lutherans teach that that um the blood and in, with, and under the elements.

I'm not quite sure what Luther was implying. I've never really understood that idea. see a spiritual presence of Christ in the elements that minister grace to the communicant, the person that's receiving the elements. The Baptists and other Protestants see it as a memorial, a remembrance, a symbolic ritual. I personally

lean with the Presbyterians and the Reformed churches that Christ is present in the meal. It's not that when we take this wafer and this grape juice

that we're going to partake in the next few minutes, it's not that it physically becomes bread and wine, but somehow Christ is present in this bread and wine. Right. But there is a real presence. Now, see, when the Catholics say a real presence, they mean that the bread and the wine actually become flesh and blood. Right. When the Presbyterians in the Reformed churches say the presence of Christ, they mean that Jesus Christ, his spirit, is present in the meal.

That's the one I believe. And I think the best one is just the Orthodox churches. They say, look, it's a holy mystery. Don't try to figure it out. Just believe. That's right. But the early church was so serious about the Lord's Supper and about holding to this is my body and this is my blood that they were accused of cannibalism. Yes, that was one of the criminal charges against them.

Right. They were actually arrested and in prison for cannibalism. You were hauled in and said, do you believe that you're eating the body of jesus christ and drinking his blood and they said yes okay you're going to prison you're a cannibal and so it was the jews who were spreading that to the roman authorities saying hey you gotta you gotta round these people up that's a cult they're practicing cannibalism you see how they closed the door they they move everybody out except the true believers of the cult what are they doing in there nobody knows well we heard that they're eating they're eating the flesh of their leader they're drinking they've got his

blood somehow they got his blood that's what they were teaching. That's how they were getting Christians arrested. As though the Christians had saved the corpse of Jesus and drained his blood out and were distributing it to their congregations. I want to move on quickly here. Verse 29, But I say to you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. Praise God. Now, this one has various interpretations i'll let you

go doc which one's yours oh mine is that he uh you know that he's saying about in uh you know in the next life in eternity um we have that fight that banquet before the Lord on the final day. That's where I lean. That's kind of where I land. Although I do know others that say, well, that he broke bread and drank wine with them sometime during the 40 days between the resurrection and his ascension. That that was the establishment of the kingdom. But I lean that the kingdom was established when he ascended and so at some point in the future we'll participate with him in that uh in that last supper yes so yeah you've got uh three interpretations one uh that he said, look, I'm not going to, I won't be drinking wine with you again until my father's kingdom has arrived.

And that, you know, after the resurrection, he spent 40 days with the disciples. He was participating in meals with them again. Another interpretation is it means the act of communion. That he's saying, you know, when my kingdom arrives, I will be drinking wine with you again. And then as Doc said, probably the most commonly accepted interpretation is that this means after the consummation of all things and the new earth and that God's kingdom has fully arrived. So it has significance, whichever interpretation that you want to believe, but it indicates a significant change or departure. He's saying to these guys here,

there's going to be a break here for a while. There's a significant change. It's a marker at this time. Let's talk about the new wine. The Holy Spirit is referred to as the new wine. And on the day of

Pentecost, the disciples who were filled with the Holy Spirit were accused of being drunk with wine. Yes. This was the new wine. So, again, this interpretation, is it, I will not drink again until my father's king. Is it at the consummation of the age of mankind and the full arrival of the kingdom of God, or is it at the institution of the baptism of the Holy Spirit? I read a lot of commentaries that had fascinating viewpoints that I had never considered, Doc. And because the new wine symbolizes the full communal enjoyment of the heavenly blessings in the new covenant.

Right. But once again, my counterpoint to that would be, but they did participate in the Lord's Supper after Pentecost. I mean, that tradition did continue. Yes. With the bread and the wine. Yes. I understand where they're coming from, that the Holy Spirit's that new wine that's poured out and everything. but the idea here of course is that you know we read in Corinthians that Paul gave guidelines on

the Lord's Supper with both bread and the wine and so obviously it was it it could have a partial fulfillment at Pentecost but the the remembrance continued after Pentecost so, which is the point is that that is that Jesus is participating, his real presence, he's in, he's in the middle, he's drinking, he's drinking with you, as you are drinking of his blood. That's, that's the viewpoint of some, some commentators present. But uh then the verse 30 is and when they had sung a hymn they went out into the mount of olives and so uh the singing of hymns was the last part of the passover meal it still is today when jews hold a passover meal the last thing they do is the singing of hymns. And it implies the words they had sung a hymn, it implies it was ongoing. It wasn't just one hymn. If it followed the pattern of Jewish Passovers, then Jesus was the leader of the hymn, and the disciples responded by singing Alleluia.

Wouldn't that be cool, Doc? Wouldn't it be cool that Jesus is singing the hymn, and the congregation is singing Alleluia. I'd like to hear Jesus sing. I would love to hear Him sing. So most likely these hymns came from Psalms 114 through 118, which are common to be used in Passover meals. And then they left. They left. The scene had changed. And you could only imagine that the atmosphere was somber. Yes, they're singing a hymn with Jesus.

He's singing. But these men had a different, they had a different attitude when this meal was over than when they went in. Remember, they were arguing with each other at the beginning. Look at what happened. When it started, they were arguing with each other at the beginning. Look at what happened. When it started, they were arguing with each other. And Jesus taught them a lesson by

washing their feet. And then he tells them, hey, one of you will betray me. And now they're searching their hearts. Is it me? Judas is the one who's the betrayer. Then Jesus institutes a new covenant meal.

And says, this is my body. This is my blood. And then they end the meeting. They end the meal with Jesus singing hymns. And they're singing Alleluia. Praise God. What a moment. If that could be captured on film, can you imagine what that was like, Doc?

Okay, let's go to the Lord's table. Praise the Lord. Well, and if you've got the elements of the Lord's Supper with you, we're going to bless that here in just a moment. Bread and either red wine or grape juice, as common tradition has it, as we go back to this meal that we talked about today and taught on today. Before we bless the components of the Lord's Supper, we always, as according to Scripture, search our hearts. And that way we don't drink of the cup and eat of the bread unworthily.

There should be no leaven, no leaven at all. And so tradition was the day leading into the Passover meal is the Jews would go through their homes looking for anything, any kind of leaven in the house at all, any, to clean it out completely. And that's what we're going to do right now. We're going to ask the Lord to look for the leaven that might be in our hearts, hiding in a corner somewhere. They'd use candles and lanterns to get into the corners of their house. Yes, and they were diligent in looking through every single place. Are we as diligent in looking for the things in our heart that might be the leaven that would taint the meal, if you will? And so, Rick, would you pray for us right now

that the Lord would search our hearts and reveal that leaven that might be there and that we would confess it, bring it before Him, and that we may drink of this cup and eat of this bread honorably. Yes. Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you in the name of your son, Jesus Christ, whom we celebrate and memorialize and give thanksgiving for his sacrifice on the cross. Father, you know that we live in mortal bodies.

We have a fallen nature. We're only redeemed because of our faith in Christ, what he did for us on the cross. So Father, we are aware that there is leaven in our lives and we're asking the Holy Spirit to show us that we may repent, confess it to you, and true repentance means

a change of mind. And so we change our mind about the thing that you said is sin and we walk away from it and go in a new direction. That is true repentance, a change of mind and a new direction.

So Father, show us the things that we need to change your mind on. Show us the things that we need a new direction, that they do not line up with your word. They are contrary to your word. And so Father, search our hearts. We repent humbly of all things that grieve you, that are contrary to your word,

and we ask for the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ to remove every sin and all its stains. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Now, if you have the elements of communion there before you, we're going to pray the Lord's blessing on those things, just as Jesus did, just like we saw in the passage here in Matthew 26,

where he blessed it. And so let's agree together in prayer for the Lord to bless these components of the Eucharist. Almighty God, in your tender mercy, you gave your only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He offered himself and made once for all time a perfect and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.

He instituted this remembrance of his passion and death, which he commanded us to continue until he comes again. And so, Father, we ask you to bless and sanctify with your word and Holy Spirit these gifts of bread and wine that we may partake of his most blessed body and blood. Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed once for all upon the cross. Therefore, let us keep the feast. Hallelujah. On the night that he is betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread,

and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and he gave it to his disciples, saying, Take eat. This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. The body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for you, preserve your body and soul to everlasting life. This is the bread of heaven. Take and eat in remembrance that Christ died for you.

After supper, Jesus took the cup. And when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink this, all of you. This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this in remembrance of me. Praise God. Hallelujah. praise God hallelujah the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ which was shed for you preserve your body and soul to everlasting life

drink the cup of salvation and remembrance that Christ's blood was shed for you and be thankful behold the Lamb of God behold him who takes away the sins of the world and blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb this sacrament is the gift of God away the sins of the world, and blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

This sacrament is the gift of God for the people of God. Feed on him by faith with thanksgiving that Christ died for you. Praise God. I hope that this participation in the Lord's Supper had even greater meaning this time than previously because of this teaching today. And I hope that it settled in your hearts things that you might have had questions about, that how important this is. It's not just something casually that we approach, but that this is something the Lord himself instituted and encouraged us to continue to do.

And then one day we're going to do it once again with him. And we're going to hear him sing. We're going to hear him sing hymn. He sings hymns about himself. Hymns about him. Praise God. Hymns about himself. Hymns about him. Yep. Praise God. Well, Rick, any final words here as we finish out this week?

Nope, that's it. All right. Well, Rick, we're glad that you're feeling much better today. And pray the Lord continue to bless you with that. And we encourage everyone this week and get alone with the Lord for a bit and let him talk to you. Let him speak to you. There are things I'm talking to the Lord about, letting him search my heart about. And so I encourage you to do the same thing.

And so on behalf of Rick and all the folks here at the ministry that work so hard to keep everything going, we love you very much.
