Episode Date: March 1, 2023

The Russian Navy's first hypersonic missile-armed frigate has begun a deployment mission to the Ukrainian War Zone. The vessel Admiral Gorshkov has been armed with Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles that Russia claims have a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, making them the centerpiece of Moscow's arsenal of such weapons. The missiles are capable of delivering devastating strikes at sea and on land. It could signify that Russia and NATO are ramping up for a big confrontation this spring.

I'm Rick Wiles. The Russian Navy's first hypersonic missile-armed frigate has begun a deployment mission to the Ukrainian war zone. The vessel, the Admiral Gorshkov, has been armed with Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles that Russia claims have a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, basically 900 miles, making them the centerpiece of Moscow's arsenal of such weapons. The missiles are capable of delivering devastating strikes at sea and on land. It could be a sign that Russia and NATO are ramping up for a big confrontation this spring. Doc Burkhardt and I will give you our latest and most in-depth World War III report. And so we'll start with this South China Morning Post article from Hong Kong. Russian warship with hypersonic cruise missiles could be sailing towards conflict zone.

So things are appearing to be ramping up here. A Russian naval frigate armed with hypersonic missile systems will continue a long-distance deployment mission after completing a joint naval exercise with Chinese and South African navies and may join other Russian forces in the Ukraine war, analysts are saying. The Admiral Gorshkov, which was part of a Russian naval flotilla that included the seagoing tank Akama, were sailing to new waters after three days of naval drills off the South African city of Cape Town on Monday, Russia's state-owned news agency TASS reported. Now, citing the press office for the Russian Northern Fleet, which includes the frigate and

support ship, TASS said that the warships took part in artillery drills, mine sweeping, and maritime rescue operations during the exercises. The report did not mention if the Zircon anti-ship hypersonic cruise missile system had been tested in the joint exercises, but Chinese military experts said the frigate might be deployed to the Black Sea as reinforcement. Now, it's possible that the ship-based Zircon missile system would be deployed by the frigate to support the Black Sea fleet, whose combat capability was weakened in the aftermath of the sinking of its flagship, the Mosfet-guided missile cruiser, last April, said Song Zhongping, a former instructor from the PLA. Now, Song said

the naval drills, which took place more than 16,000 kilometers from Russia, 10,000 miles from Russia, were also aimed at testing the Russia frigate's long-distance deployment capability. The Russian hypersonic weapons proved to be capable of penetrating the U.S.-led NATO air defense systems and destroying surface targets in Ukraine, Song said. The Admiral Gorshkov frigate was the first vessel to be equipped with the missiles and test-fired a Zircon for the first time in the Barents Sea in October 2020. That missile reached Mach 8 and an altitude of 28 kilometers. All right, so, Doc, we've got the video. This is the first test launch of the Zircon two years ago, almost three years ago, 2020.

But we want you to see what this bad boy can do when it's deployed in a war. This is video from the Russian defense ministry. Here it is. So this news that this frigate could be sailing towards Ukraine, mind you, it just left the waters off of South Africa doing a joint drill with the Chinese Navy. And now it appears like it's headed towards Ukraine. This, though, could be the sign that the big confrontation between Russia and NATO is coming up this spring, that at least both sides are getting ready for the potential confrontation. And it appears all the pieces are being moved

in place for that to happen. In addition to the Admiral Gorshkov, the Russia is growing its nuclear submarine fleet for a Ukraine naval battleground. It says that Russia is set to add another two nuclear submarines to its naval fleet. That's according to Novosti, and they reported that on Monday. The Russia-Ukraine war just entered its second year on Friday, and it's been estimated that in that time, hundreds of thousands have been killed. However, despite these losses, the war has no end in sight as both sides seek to bolster their military capabilities. Now, the announcement of new nuclear submarines was made by the head of Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation. That was Alexei Romanov in an interview with Novosti as well. Savmesh will hand over two of the newest nuclear submarines to the Russian Navy in 2023,

Rachmaninoff said in the interview. He then went on to declare that the shipbuilding company has picked up its pace of manufacturing in order to be able to deliver the submarines to the Russian military this year. The new submarines are part of the Borei class of submarines, a series of ballistic missile nuclear power subs. The Russian state news outlet describes them as being armed with 16 Bulava ballistic missiles and are meant to be a vital nuclear deterrent. And so once again, we're seeing more hardware being moved into the theater. So, Doc, how long has it been since Putin announced that Russia was ramping up its production of war equipment, weapons and missiles, aircraft?

Has it been two years? Yes, it seems like that. But then Medvedev pretty much has been supervising it for the past year. We've seen videos of Medvedev going to Russian defense contractor factories, overseeing the production of various war components. It was last fall that Vladimir Putin met with the heads of all the different military contractors within Russia and encouraging them to, you know, we are in a total war scenario here now. So they're in a war economy. Right.

And what we're seeing now is submarines are being, the production of submarines is being speeded up. The production of hypersonic missiles is being speeded up. The Russian manufacturing sector is in a war economy. And they are turning out weapons at a much faster pace than normal. That's what we want to get across to our audience, that we've got these submarines. They just announced one today, and they said there are more that will be delivered to the Russian Navy this year. Now, it mentions that these nuclear-powered submarines are carrying Balava missiles.

Doc, this is one of the most fearsome nuclear missile on the planet. And I want you to, according to the Russians, it can evade any missile defense system that the U.S. and NATO puts up. You know, if we still operate what we used to call Star Wars, right? They claim it can invade it you know either they're they're boasting and Or they're serious But they their statements is that there is no missile defense system on the planet that can stop a balava missile So if that's true, these things are going to be coming across the North Pole and the U.S. military has no way to stop it because we can't even stop a balloon. So these Balava missiles, they're not intended for

a smaller weapon theater. Oh, no, no. They're intended for intercontinental. Yes, absolutely. I see. Fired from submarines. A submarine that can be thousands of miles away from the coast. Thousands of miles away.

And strike Washington, D.C., New York City, San Diego, Norfolk, Virginia. We got video of a Bulava missile launch. Here it is. I want to dedicate that video to Joe Biden and Lindsey Graham and Sean Hannity. Everyone else fighting for war. Everybody. And Mike McCaul. All the warmongers that are just pushing for an all-out war with Russia. That's what's coming. Not just one.

Thousands are coming. So you look at that video and you imagine those things launched, hundreds at one time, coming across the North Pole, coming from the Atlantic, from the Pacific, from the Gulf of Mexico, from the Caribbean. And those missiles raining down on the United States of America. And in minutes, the country's gone. I know some people, some, you know, some of them, well, we're going to fire back. Okay. But we're not going to get them all. Right. But they claim the Belavas can evade our Star Wars system. But when I hear Americans say, well, hey, the Russians hit us.

We're just going to fire back and destroy them. Yeah, the Russians are prepared for that. Have you not been paying attention to what we've been telling you the russians are saying if there's no russia there's no world we know we're going to die you're going to die too i don't think we're as prepared as we think we are i know it's story today hopefully we get to it about a big shake-up at uh their base in minot north dakota a nuclear air base right i think it's because we're not prepared. We can't even stop a balloon, Doc.

So we'll go on. Because what I detected today, looking at the World War III news, is, okay, something's different in today's news, a more serious preparation for a confrontation this spring. And, you know, we thought it was going to be in the winter.

Last fall, they were talking about an expected winter offensive. Well, the winter was not as cold as the Russians expected. It was a fairly mild winter in Europe. So it appears that they postponed the offensive.

Now, the word on the street now is a spring offensive. Well, and now Russia has to respond to all the hardware that's being moved into Ukraine over the next few weeks and few months. The tanks. One way or another, they're coming. And so Russia has a choice. Do we wait for that confrontation or do we take care of it now

and get the momentum going for Russia before all this military hardware starts rolling in. I think, Doc, I think NATO is pushing Ukraine to attack and invade Crimea this spring. I think the battle is going to be for Crimea. I think there's going to be a Ukrainian movement to seize Crimea. But they're going to hit inside Russia. I think Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other Russian cities are going to be hit.

We're going to talk about it in a minute because there was action inside Russia today in the war. And so we're getting closer to seeing Russian cities bombed by Ukraine. One more player that is affecting the calculus of war here right now is China. South China Morning Post is saying that the U.S. is warning Chinese companies of sanctions if Beijing gives lethal aid to Russia. We can give lethal aid to Ukraine, but China cannot give lethal aid to Russia. We can give lethal aid to Ukraine, but China cannot give lethal aid to Russia. So Washington will not hesitate to target Chinese companies and individuals with sanctions if Beijing violates U.S. sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine war. And that's coming from Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday. He said if China provides lethal aid, I like the

way they phrase that, to Moscow for the conflict, it will be a serious problem for Beijing and its relationship with countries around the world. Blinken told reporters during a trip to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. You know, Doc, I don't want this war. I wish the war would just stop for both sides. I'm not cheering for either side. I want the war would just stop for both sides I'm not cheering for either side I want the war to stop but the hypocrisy

and the arrogance of the United States is just galling that we can send billions of dollars of military aid to Ukraine but then we point our finger and we lecture other countries and say now if you do something oh man we're going to get mad.

There's going to be problems. What if China lectured Secretary Blinken and said, we're going to tell you something. You send any more aid to Ukraine, there's going to be trouble. We'll put sanctions on you, America. All right. You won't get any of our goods. China doesn't talk like that to us.

But this is the way we talk to every nation. And everybody, all the countries are watching it. They see it and their eyes are opening up. They're tired of it. You know, at the Munich conference, Doc, things did not go over well for Kamala Harris. She went there to cackle and lecture other countries. They didn't buy it. The Africans aren't buying it. They've had meetings with African leaders. They're not buying it. They've had meetings with the Middle Eastern countries. They're not buying it. When I say not buying it, not buying the lecture,

you know, you've got to get in, you have to take sides with us in favor of Ukraine. You cannot do business with Russia. They're not buying it. And what it's doing is driving the world towards a new world order led by China and Russia.

You're right. It's driving us right into their hands that way. Now, Anthony Blinken went on to say, we are watching compliance with sanctions very closely, and we're having an ongoing discussion with a number of countries, including our C5 partners. Those are the countries in Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, on the economic spillover effects.

So basically he's threatening the C5 partners too. Blinken said this at a news conference after meeting with officials of the five Central Asian states in the Kazakh capital of Astana. So he's on his world tour right now, making friends and shaking hands. I'm just not sure how committed the C5 partners are to the U.S. relationship because these already have established relationships with China. The countries are closer to China geographically and culturally. They're closer to China and Russia than they are the United States.

Many of them, several of them, are deep in bed with China on the Belt and Road Initiative, too, going through their countries. So, Doc, I didn't know before this war, I never heard of the Belarusian news agency. Delta, yes. Yeah. So they have their own news agency, like their Associated Press. So now part of my daily routine is to read the Belarusian news agency's reports because you're getting a variety of reports about the war coming from different countries

that you will not see or hear in the United States. So the biggest story that I saw in the Belarusian news is that Belarusian President Lukashenko arrived in China today. This is a big story. It is. And we've got some video of his presidential plane landing in Beijing and the greeting that the Chinese gave him. Let's watch it. So we see the video here, Rick,

and this is the arrival of the president of Belarus, Mr. Lukashenko arriving, receiving an honor guard reception there. Their plane is also called Air Force One for Belarus, and you'll see Mr. Lukashenko departing the plane here and being greeted by Chinese diplomats here. This is the third state visit for Lukashenko since he's been president. But this is an important one because now we're in the midst of the war with Ukraine.

And it's no accident that Mr. Lukashenko is in China right now, because if things do go pretty hot here, China will be involved and Belarus will be involved, very involved. This is a big deal. This is a very big deal that Mr. Lukashenko flew to China today.

He didn't go over there for green tea. Right. They're talking war. And he may be the recipient of Chinese missiles. Right. Since we play this game on the NATO side. We send it to Poland. Right. And then they send it to Ukraine. So China may do the very same thing, send it to Belarus and share it with Russia. That's what I think is happening. I think the Chinese are making a deal today with Mr. Lukashenko. Here are the weapons that we're going to send to you.

Once you receive them, they're yours. You can do whatever you want to with them at that point. We sign off. We no longer own them. It's a gift. And you can do anything because we learned that with the Germans. Remember, there was a paper trail. Right.

They have a legal system of transferring weapons. And that's one of the reasons the Germans didn't want to send the tanks because then they would have been directly involved in the war. They could send it to a third party who then turned around and ended up

sending it to Ukraine. That's right. So let's see in the coming week if we hear news that Chinese missiles and ammo and rifles and tanks are sent to Belarus. Because if there is a big offensive this spring, and remember we talked about this the other day,

that it appears like there's a buildup to go into Belarus also. Right. And that Belarus could be drawn. I mean, there was a drone attack on Belarus a few days ago. Yes. And it would not take much for Belarus to say, we have been attacked, we have to invade Ukraine. But he's not going to invade Ukraine until he has all the weapons he can get. So that's my...

Because NATO might turn around and think that Belarus would be an easier target than Russia. Yes. But if his military gets built up rapidly in the next 30 days with Chinese weapons, it's going to change the war plan. Folks, this is serious. We're witnessing World War III. It's in motion. This is something, assuming we survive, that you'll read about in the history books 50 years from now. Yes.

Assuming you survive. Yeah, if we survive and if you're still around 50 years from now, your grandkids will say, what did you do during World War III? All right. Make sure you've got some good stories to tell them. Don't say, well, I ignored it. I didn't even know what was happening

because most Americans, most Westerners have no idea that World War III is underway right now. It has, I still hear people talking about, boy, World War III is close. No, it's happening. You're in it right now. It started last February. And really, it started in 2014. You really get down to the brass tacks of it. Rick, you mentioned that drone attack in Belarus here a few days ago. There was another drone attack as well. That's right. Today, actually, depending on which news outlet is accurate, there could have been multiple drone attacks on Russia today. I think Russia admitted to one. This report is from BBC in London. Drone crash near Moscow was a failed attack, says the governor.

So a drone has crashed in the Moscow region in what was likely an attempt to target civilian infrastructure, the regional governor has said. Andrei Vorobyov was speaking after the defense ministry reported downing two, count them, two Ukrainian drones in southern Russia. Ukraine does not claim responsibility for attacks inside Russia. Russian energy giant Gazprom operates a facility near the village of Gubastov, about 62 miles from Moscow, where the drone crashed.

Gazprom told Russia's state-run news agency, RIA Novosti, that its operations in the Kolomna region had not been interrupted. Now the target of the drone in Kolomna was probably a civilian infrastructure facility which was not damaged. Mr. Vorobyov posted on Telegram, there are no casualties or damage on the ground. The FSB, that's the Russian security service, and other competent authorities are investigating, he added. Now images shared by Russian media and officials show a damaged drone in a snow-covered field in front of a forest of birch trees. The area around the Gazprom facility is heavily forested.

Now, the appearance of the drone matches that of the UJ-22 Airborne, a product of Ukrainian manufacturer ErkJet. ErkJet said the vehicle has a range of 800 kilometers, enough for it to reach the Klamna area from Ukraine. Now, Anton Gershchenko, advisor to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs, tweeted a photo of the drone. So this is Ukraine's minister of internal affairs. Kind of like their homeland security director. Right. So he said it is more than 500 kilometers away from Russian border with Ukraine. Soon Putin might get very afraid

to show himself in public as drones can reach far distances, he wrote alongside the photo. Okay, right there, that's important. Right. So the Minister of Homeland Security for Ukraine took credit for that drone that was shot down in Moscow today,

near Moscow. Without taking credit for it. Yes, but said, take note, Mr. Putin. Look how far this drone traveled. You should be afraid to go outside. In other words, we're going to assassinate you with a drone.

That's where we're headed. Drone attacks in Russia. They plan to attack the Kremlin. They're going to do a drone attack on the Kremlin. It's coming, Doc. He just bragged about it. That's where they're headed. Now, Reuters has a report far fire put out at Russian oil depot after drone seen overhead.

This is a different one. Right. So the emergency services put out a fire at an oil depot in southern Russia overnight after a drone was spotted flying overhead. And that was coming from near R Navas, as well. The fire in the Russian town of Topsy was reported at 0230 local time and spread to an area about 200 square meters before it was extinguished. Pravda has this, as well, alleged drone attack photos of aftermath of fire at the Russian oil plant. We've got a couple photos here that show some of the extensive damage that occurred at the Russian oil plant. We've got a couple of photos here that show some of the extensive damage that occurred at the plant. Now, this is a Ukrainian Pravda. So we don't know,

we don't know if this is, this damage is in Russia. These are photographs that were published by the Ukrainian Pravda news service. So it could be propaganda. Could be propaganda. We don't know. But it could also be accurate. They're claiming it hit a Gazprom oil facility. Let's see. Also, a Russian airport in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg-Russia airport was temporarily closed today. Right, because of an object that was flying around the airport. We've been to that airport. Russia's Polkova airport in St. Petersburg temporarily suspended all flights today.

The city government said it did not provide a reason. An unconfirmed media report from online Russian news outlet Baza said an unidentified object had been spotted in the sky and that fighter jets had been dispatched to investigate. So, Rick, it appears we have these multiple stories here on drones, and it started last week, extending this week, that we're in a new phase of this conflict now. Yes, we are. Russia, I mean, excuse me, Ukraine is testing and pushing with the support and help of U.S. and NATO, of course.

So, yeah, we're going to see more attacks, Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil. We're going to see more destruction coming from Ukraine on Russian soil, cities being attacked, oil facilities being attacked, government facilities being attacked. We've got one more story before we close out this first half hour. And this is from BBC. NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg said Ukraine to join the bloc in the long term. That's if they follow the orders here. And so NATO Chief Stoltenberg said Ukraine will become a member of the alliance in the long term, but for now it needs to remain independent in the face of Russia's invasion.

Then they say the plan is we're putting them in NATO. The very reason why Russia Went to war. went to war to prevent this from happening. Russia said, you're going, we know your plan. Your plan is to put Ukraine in NATO. And they just confirmed it today. Yes. Of what we knew all along.

Yes, Stoltenberg said NATO allies have agreed that Ukraine will become a member of our alliance. But at the same time, that is a long-term perspective. He's made this remark today in Finland's capital, Helsinki. Went on to say, what is at issue now is that Ukraine can prevail as a sovereign, independent nation. Now, in our second half of today's True News, we have some video from Mr. Stoltenberg's press conference, and he made some strong remarks, particularly about the West's relationship with Russia after this war. And it's exactly what we predicted it would be. You'll be seeing it in the second half of True News. If you're watching

us on the Word Network, you can watch the second half at truenews.com or download the True News app. And we do a complete one hour every day. And we encourage you to watch the rest of the show and tell your friends about the only World War III news report that's out there. We'll be back in just a few seconds. Okay, so we're going to give you some video of what Mr. Stoltenberg said today in Helsinki. And we'll start with this first video. It's about four and a half minutes long. But listen to it because this is the NATO chief giving us insight in where this war will be going this year.

Here he is. A city that has helped to shape the foundations of European security. hvor vi skal gå i år. Her er han. 35 land fra Nord-Amerika og Europa har signert Helsinki-finalaktet, som Sovjetunionen har inkludert. De har kommitt til å sitte disputtene fredelig, respektere søvrende bord, og refrene fra fordelen eller bruke av kraft. President Putin har nå skjattet eller bruke forhold. President Putin har nå skadet disse prinsippene.

Vi kan være skratt av brutaltiden av kriget mot Ukraina, men vi bør ikke være overrasket. Dette er en del av en pattern av russisk aggression over mange år. I Grosny, i Georgia, i Aleppo, i Crimea og Donbass, og nå en fullfledd invasjon av Ukraina. NATO-alliene har samarbeidet med intelligens, præsist intelligens, om Moskos planer for en invasjon mange måneder frem. Vi har gjort hver forsøk til å sam for å engasjere oss i diplomatisk

og politisk dialog med Russland for å forvandle krig. Men utenfor våre kaller valgte president Putin å attackere. En år siden er Putin ikke forberedt for fred. Han forbereder for mer krig.

Så mens kriget fortsetter kan vi allerede nå dra noen lesninger av kriget. Først må vi støtte og støtte opp vår støtte til Ukraina. Russia lanserer nye offensiv, mobiliserer flere troper og reiser ut til Nordkorea og Iran for å få flere kjøp. Vi er også stort sett bekymret at Kina kan planlegge å gi letal støtte til Russlands krig. Så vi må gi Ukraina hva de trenger til å forvandle. Jeg velger den signifiske støtten Nordiske lander er til å tilføye til Ukraina. Dette gjør en forskjell på battelfeltet hver dag,

og jeg takker alle nordiske land for deres støtte. Togetere er NATO-alliene til å tilføye over 100 billioner euro til Ukraina. Vi må nå urgent tilfre på våre pladser om trening og kraftig kraft, slik at kjøpene kan komme til Ukraina før Russland kan fordre momentumen. Jeg hører bekymringer om at vår støtte

fordrer risikoen for å skjele. Men så lenge vår største nærmeste er nødvendig til å invade et annet land, er det ingen risikofri opts. Så la det ikke være noe tvil. Den største risikoen er om president Putin vinner i Ukraina. risk of all is if President Putin wins in Ukraine. If he wins, it will show authoritarian leaders that aggression works, and force is rewarded.

That will make the world more dangerous, and us more vulnerable. So supporting Ukraine is not only the morally right thing to do, it is also in our own security interest. Så å støtte Ukraina er ikke bare det morale rette ting å gjøre, det er også i vår egen sikkerhetsinteresse. Vi vet ikke når denne krigene vil slutte, men når det gjelder, må vi sikre at historien ikke fortsetter. President Putin kan ikke fortsette å kjippe av på europeisk sikkerhet.

Vi må brekke russisk aggressivitet. Det betyr at vi må forbedre Ukraina til å forbedre og forbedre fremtidige aggressiviteter. Vi må putte i plass langtidige arrangementer

for Ukrainsk sikkerhet. Hva ser det ut til? Mer krig, mer distraksjon. long-term arrangements for Ukraine's security. Now, what is that going to look like? More war, more destruction. What I didn't hear from Mr. Stoltenberg is, I'm going to call Vladimir Putin and work out a truce. And during the truce, we'll get together and work out a settlement so that the fighting stops and we get his assurance that he will withdraw from Ukraine and he gets our assurance that we will not bring Ukraine into NATO.

But that's not going to happen. Because he just said we're going to put Ukraine in NATO. That's why we have a war. Putin told them. That's a red line. He's been telling them that for 10 years. If you put Ukraine in NATO, if there are NATO military bases, NATO troops, NATO missiles, NATO tanks, NATO nukes in Ukraine. We are going to war. They pushed him to war. He's finally in war. And Putin knows he

can't stop. He can't stop. Neither can NATO. Both sides have dug in their heels. Neither side can stop because for NATO, it's pride. NATO's not going to fold. NATO's not going to fold if the war ends, if they negotiated a peace with Russia. NATO's not going to end. Europe's not going to go away. But if Putin loses, NATO's going into Russia.

That's right. And he knows it. And it's the end of Russia. It's the end of Russia. And if there's no Russia. There's no world. There's no world. Because they're going to take everybody out.

They've made it very clear. If we're going to die, you're going to die. Well, Mr. Stoltenberg went on in his speech there at the Helsinki summit. Basically, he was at the summit to welcome the Nordic countries into NATO, that it was progressing faster. But he made this remark that even after the war ends, let's say that you come to some sort of settlement, which doesn't look like it's going to happen, but let's pretend that it does.

He's saying there's no going back with Russia at this point. We can't go backwards. So what does that mean? There's never going to be friendship. That seems to be what he's saying. Never. This is what he's saying. We'll never be friends with Russia. Until we change Russia.

We'll always have a state of war with Russia. This is what he said, real short, about 10-15 seconds. So we have to recognize that the end of this war will not be a return to normal in our relations with Russia. There is no going back. You heard it from the man right there.

Always a state of war. What he declared is we're going to be in a perpetual state of war with What he declared is we're going to be in a perpetual state of war with Russia, and you're right, Doc, until we can find a way to destroy them.

And basically what they're going to do to Russia is they're going to balkanize it like NATO does to every country it goes to. And then 10 years later

apologizes for it. And so, well, we mentioned in our first segment today something interesting that is happening here in the U.S. This is from Air Force Times, and all the military outlets today are reporting this. And it's this story.

Six leaders fired, including two commanders and four of their subordinates, were fired from a key Air Force nuclear base in North Dakota without explanation on Monday. So Colonel Gregor Mayer, who ran the 5th Mission Support Group at Minot Air Force Base, Major Jonathan Welch, the 5th Logistics Readiness Squadron Commander, and four unnamed subordinates lost their jobs due to a loss of confidence in their ability to lead. And that's coming from Air Force Global Strike Command.

They've seen that in the release yesterday. Well, Doc, what does that say? The people running a nuclear military base, their commanders lost confidence in them. It tells me something weird is going on there because this base manages the B-52s, manages the majority of the missile sites in the upper Midwest. This is no small story here.

You've taken out the top echelon of leadership there at the Monon Air Base. There is something amiss here. I don't think it has anything to do with the balloons or anything. I think they probably did a readiness check here within the past few weeks and it failed miserably. Well, it could also be, Doc, that they refused to hold the drag queen events. Well, it seems like they have them anyway. And so now these personnel actions were necessary to maintain the very high standards we demand of those units entrusted with supporting our nation's nuclear mission. That's coming from Major General Andrew Gubara, the two-star in charge of Air Force nuclear units under the 8th Air Force in the release. Now, at Minot, Mayer oversaw 1,900 airmen across six squadrons and a base portfolio worth $4.3 billion.

Minot is the Air Force's only installation that houses two legs of the nuclear triad. And this is the guy that was removed today. Yes. No lightweight, Doc. Right. There are three legs to the nuclear triad. There's air, land, and sea. He manages the air and land aspect of that triad. Mayors Group supports daily operations.

Now listen to this. Of the bases, 28 B-52 Stratofortress nuclear-capable bombers, 165 Minuteman III nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles, and their launch control centers, and eight UH helicopters, and this according to an official biography, that was removed from Minot's website Monday. So you can't find even his biography on the Air Force page. He'd been deplatformed.

Right. So, Maya, as we said, this is a very unusual story here. Is anybody other than the military-related news services reporting it? I've not seen it anywhere. And it seems like they all repeated the same press release that was sent out. Right. I mean, across dozens of outlets, because I was trying to find maybe a local TV station talking about it or anything like that. But basically every news outlet, local and regional, same press release, almost word for word. This, you know, is really a weird story. What do you really think is behind it, Rick?

I mean, the unsettling thing is that somebody at the Pentagon is waking up and realizing we're probably going to be in a nuclear war very soon. And we're not ready. And the main base is not even thinking about a nuclear war. Now, he's not the first commander that was removed from... Didn't they do this a couple years ago? Back in 2018, they fired the commander of the Minot Air Base

because there was a bunch of grenades and some weapons that were missing from the base. And there was also the speculation that there was more to the story then as well. But that's what he was dismissed for. So Minot seems to have had, or the Minot Air Base rather, seems to have had some issues retaining commanders or being in a state of readiness. That should concern you.

Because if our nuclear defense is not in a state of readiness, whether it's the B-52s, whether it's the Minuteman missiles, what defense do we have? Or the base has been infiltrated. a state of readiness, whether it's the B-52s, whether it's the Minuteman missiles, what defense do we have? Or the base has been infiltrated. That's a possibility. It's been infiltrated. This happening shortly after the balloon episode, do you think that's connected?

Well, how do we know? I mean, it passed right near there. Did the Chinese send some photographs back and say, hey, this is your base. This is what we saw going on. But that would have been one of the bases it photographed. Oh, do you mean where we allowed it to be photographed? Yes. Or do you just think

they're having somebody following their sword on this? Okay, now there is another possibility, a more cynical possibility. All right, I'm already liking it. That these guys are on the ball. They're too patriotic. And they alerted.

And they're ready for war. And they had to go. That's the other possibility. I mean, it's interesting that they didn't just remove the commander, but the entire top echelon of leadership at the base. I mean, that's a very big deal. You know, bases have transitions of leadership and everything on a regular basis, but when you take out the top echelon of leadership, something else is going on.

So will we ever find out? We'll keep an eye on any developments on this story. But you try to find out information on Gregory Meyer online. Go ahead. Yes. I mentioned Crimea a few minutes ago and the fact that the possibility that Ukraine may launch a military offensive to reclaim Crimea this spring. Well, Newsweek reported how Crimea can be retaken, according to a former U.S. general. Yes, that's coming from General Ben Hodges. Ukrainian forces could implement key long-range precision strike tactics in the annexed Crimean Peninsula to make it untenable for Russian forces.

Now, writing on Twitter, former U.S. Army Europe Commander Lieutenant General Ben Hodges argued that Kiev's forces needed to isolate Crimea using long-range precision strikes. Isn't General Hodges, wasn't he endorsing sending long-range missiles to Ukraine? This is not the first. He has spoken out in the past about ramping up the war. Well, he's done that publicly on Twitter. This is number 53 for control. Here he is responding to another tweet.

He said, Our priority is long-range precision strike to isolate Crimea and then make it untenable for Russian forces. Drive the Black Sea fleet from Sevastopol with daily precision strikes. Ditto for Russian Air Force at Saki. Allow no sanctuary for drone launches. Land forces can come later. In other words, we bring Ukraine into the

war as an air power and do whatever we can to soften up Crimea to move land forces in. But the Ukrainian military doesn't have that hardware. They don't. They would have to be land forces in. But the Ukrainian military doesn't have that hardware. They don't. They would have to be donated by Washington. Right. Now, another tweet here, he outlined the plan here that there are two key places to strike. It's two landlines of communication to Crimea. Of course, the Kerch Bridge, which just reopened to full traffic here last week, and what they call the land bridge, which is the area Rostov, Maripol, Militopol, and Crimea, used precision strikes to prevent full repair of the Kerch Bridge

and then drop bridges along the route of the land bridge, and then land forces break the land bridge in June. It sounds like he's got the calendar written out. In June. Right. There's when I see these clues. Do this in June. That's for the land forces to move in in June. So is there

a major offensive plan for this spring with a land invasion of Crimea by June? It's looking like it's shaping out to be exactly that. Well, how are the Russians? How are they reacting to this? Well, they're not just sitting back and waiting for this to happen.

This is from Newsweek. This is actually several days ago. Russia is rapidly building up Crimea's defenses. Ukrainian military officials warned on the one-year anniversary of the war that Russia is swiftly working to bolster its defense of the Crimean Peninsula. Now, in Chaplinka, in the Kherson region, the occupiers imposed a round-the-clock curfew from February 23rd to the 25th. This is from an intelligence update posted on Facebook by the general staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Now, their reasoning

is that the reason may be the transfer of military equipment from the temporarily occupied part of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea to reinforce the defense line. Well, when they see tweets like this from Ben Hodges and others, you've got to be thinking they're going to do exactly

what would you expect them to do? Just wait for them to roll in? Do you remember last year, who was the retired general? This is a French general. Yes. And he said, wait until May and rain down missiles on Russia's Victory Day parade. Yes. Which is their World War II patriotic parade.

But he was a retired general in France. And he said, you know, you got to surprise Russia in May of 2023 with a missile barrage on the parade because the entire Russian political leadership, military leadership, and a lot of their soldiers and their hardware will be in the parade.

Right. And just take it out. So is this spring the big war, Doc? Because what I suggested last fall, when it was looking like there was going to be a winter confrontation, I said last fall, where we're headed is the fighting is going to become intense.

Both sides are going to inflict maximum pain on the other side because both sides know it's eventually going to go to the negotiating table right so they each side wants the other side bleeding and limping missing an eyeball missing an arm you know they they want they want the other side to show up at the negotiating table absolutely in a mess but the other side without being dead without being dead but the other side is going to do the same thing right so i thought that was going to happen like right now in february i figured that in but the winter

was mild the weather didn't didn't hold up to what Putin was hoping for. And I think they postponed it. But it looks now, everything I'm seeing is they're talking about spring. Right. So we're about to see things ramp up in March and April, going into May with a possible land invasion of Crimea in June. Listen, NATO is not going to back down from this unless they get Crimea back. They're not. They've already said that. They've said it. Russia's not going to back down because they're not going to give up Crimea. That's right. So what are you going to have?

You have to eliminate one of the two. That's where we're going to be. Now, America's sleep tight at night because our national security advisor is a Zionist, like so many people in the Biden administration. And he was recently, let's see who interviewed him, CNN. And he mentioned, he was asked by a CNN journalist, should Ukraine take back Crimea. Listen to what he says, because he doesn't really give an answer, but he does talk about inflicting the pain before the negotiations. Here he is. I want to ask about Crimea. Today marks exactly nine years since Russia illegally annexed Crimea. The Biden administration still repeatedly says that Crimea is part of Ukraine. You also say that Ukraine

gets to define what victory looks like. So I wanted you to sort of give a yes or no answer to this. If Ukraine decided that victory means recapturing Crimea militarily, would the United States support that? Dana, I can't give a yes or no answer to what is a hypothetical question. Right now, what President Zelensky is focused on is getting into the best possible position on the battlefield, so that he can be in the best possible position at the negotiating table. And he spoke as recently as this week about diplomacy. We want to help Ukraine turn battlefield gains into diplomatic leverage.

And that requires us to give them the military assistance they need to make those gains. What ultimately happens with Crimea in the context of this war and a settlement of this war is something for the Ukrainians to determine with the support of the United States. But I'm just not going to get into hypothetical questions because what we're facing today is a counteroffensive in the East and the South that we need to give them the tools to fight. And we are doing that. So he wasn't going to tip his hand and say, sure, we're going to invade Ukraine. But notice he said, our mission is to put Zelensky in the best position going into the negotiations.

The best military position. So that's the push to get the tanks, the Atakums, the F-16s, to get all this hardware into Ukraine now. Because they know, they know that they're going to have to sit down with the Russians or go to nuclear war. Both sides know it.

Sullivan knows it. He doesn't care how many people die. He doesn't care. He doesn't care about the destruction. He doesn't care. None of these people care if they really cared about the ukrainian people they would stop sending the weapons and they would call putin and say let's work this out right but they don't care what he's saying is we're going to supply zelinsky with all the weapons and ammo and rockets that we can give him

so that he can do the most damage, kill the most Russians, destroy the most Russian facilities before we get to the negotiating table. There's got to be blood and guts everywhere before we sit down and talk. That's what that clown said. There's got to be blood and guts everywhere before we sit down and talk. That's what that clown said. There's got to be blood and guts everywhere before we sit down and talk. These people are psychopaths.

They just don't want it to be their blood and guts. Of course not. Zionists never fight their own wars. Sullivan's a Zionist. Blinken's a Zionist. Yellen is a Zionist. Go's a Zionist. Yellen is a Zionist. Go through the entire Biden administration.

Biden's a Zionist. Well, he claims to be a Zionist. He's a Gentile Zionist. All of his children married Zionists. All of them. It's a Zionist administration. Which is

Biden's. I mean, it's Obama's third term. What did Obama say about himself after he left? Well, look it up. This is a Zionist war. Zelensky's a Zionist. His prime minister's a Zionist. His minister of war is a Zionist. It's a Zionist. His prime minister is a Zionist. His minister of war is a Zionist. It's a Zionist war.

But Americans are paying for it. Right. And at some point, we'll be literally paying for it with the blood of our sons and daughters. If it requires sending... Zalinski said it the other day. He did.

He said, someday American soldiers are going to be here in Ukraine fighting and dying because they don't care. And there is some people that are upset about that comment, but why isn't everybody upset by that comment? And he also said it was dangerous for us to even question the amount of money that we're pouring into Ukraine.

That's dangerous for us to question. That tells you right there that something's amiss. Well, hey, we get, oh, this is, now, this next story was from RT. And it could be Russian propaganda. We don't know. They're claiming the United States is preparing a false flag chemical attack in Ukraine to blame it on Russia. Again, we have no way of verifying these things. We're just showing you what each side is saying.

So let's look at that article. The U.S. is preparing to stage false flag chemical attacks in Ukraine and pin the blame on Moscow for the use of banned toxic agents. The chief of Russia's nuclear, biological, and chemical defense troops, Igor Kirillov, has said Americans believe that the international community wouldn't be able to organize an effective investigation of such provocations due to the fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces, which would allow Washington to escape responsibility, Karloff said during a briefing Tuesday. with a cargo of chemical substances in one of his cars had apparently arrived in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Kramatorsk in Donbass on February 10th. Now, the 16 metal boxes with special markings suggest they contained... I practiced this today. It's BZ.

Yeah. All right. That's good enough. NCS gas and CR gas harassing riot control agents, and they were accompanied by the citizens of foreign nations, he alleged. Now, according to Karolov, the chemicals were unloaded at a local metal plant under the supervision of Ukraine's security service and put on U.S.-supplied armored vehicles that later moved out towards a contact as part of a convoy. Now, Russia also found out that 11 cars with specially marked trap ammunition were unloaded in Kramatorsk on the 19th. The shells of this type had been previously upgraded in the U.S.

to be able to deliver harassing chemical substances. They did that in Arizona, by the way. The facts of simultaneous delivery of toxic chemicals and means of protection against them indicate an attempt to carry out large-scale provocations using the BZ military-grade psychoactive chemical agent during the conflict. Now, the facts of the simultaneous delivery of the toxic chemicals and means that they have moved forward with this. Remember, we did a story here a few weeks back that talked about that facility out in Arizona that was manufacturing the missiles. And so this would correlate with that too, because that would be

the type of missiles that would likely be carrying this out. If anyone's going to do a chemical attack, it's Ukraine. I mean, I think they're already using chemical. And there have been members, EU members, that have endorsed the idea to allow Ukraine to use banned chemical agents. Can you imagine that? Saying, yeah, go ahead, you guys, we can't use them, but you can.

The Nazis. Why wouldn't Nazis use chemical agents? Right. Nazis like gassing people. There should be no surprise. They act like Nazis. They talk like Nazis. They are Nazis.

They're Nazis. They claim to be Nazis. And the U.S. is now part of the Nazi empire. That's the fact. Thank you for watching. This is our comprehensive World War III report. You might be saying, why don't you talk about anything else? There's nothing else worth talking about right now.

It's World War III, our very survival as the human race is at stake right now. All of us need to be aware of what's happening and praying to God that this stops. We'll 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 Manor. Here are your Bible teachers, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart. Well, this is the day which the Lord hath made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Hello, everybody. My name is Rick Wiles. And this weekday television program is devoted to making ready a people prepared for the Lord. That's because King Jesus will return to earth someday to gather his elect. And you and I must be remnant ready. Jesus Christ has a remnant church that will triumphantly endure to the end. And 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. That's why I believe Abraham was the father of the remnant ready church. And if Abraham were here today, he would tell us to shine brightly, taste salty and love everybody. That's my motto for 2023. And my mission in 2023 is to organize hundreds of Daniel 11 micro churches. Now you're probably asking, what is a microchurch? Well, it's five to 10 families

and individuals who meet in their homes to worship God, study the Holy Bible, and to prepare to survive in the time of tribulation. We need to help each other. Now, if you want to know just how serious things are in the world, because if you're watching the network news channels, you really don't know how serious it is because they don't tell you. I host another program each weekday that will keep you informed about World War III. Yeah, it's already started. It started a year ago, February of last year. We also talk about the new New World Order, because the old New World Order is dying. We talk a lot about propaganda and deception, try to help you discern it, recognize it, deal with it. So the program is called True News. That's the opposite

of fake news. And I've been reporting true news since 1999. You can watch it online at truenews, that's T-R-U-N-E-W-S, truenews.com. You can also download the True News app, and you can also watch it each weekday on the Word Network at 5.30 a.m. Eastern Time. Now, one of the main things we would teach the Daniel 11 microchurch members is how to use your faith to receive miracles from heaven. We have entered into an age mentioned in the Holy Bible as perilous times. The old normal is gone. We will never see it again. The world is becoming stranger and more violent every year. And that's because the world is racing towards a rendezvous with King Jesus.

All of us will need to know how to trust God to perform miracles for us in the final stretch of the age of mankind. And there are three essential principles that each of us need to store in our heart. Faith principle number one, your heavenly father is your source for everything you need. Faith principle number two, give that it may be given unto you. And faith principle number three, expect a miracle. You get those three down in your heart and you're on your way to having a successful, productive relationship with your heavenly father where you can believe him in faith in the name of Jesus and receive the things that you need every day.

Now, this day is our third lesson in the parables of Jesus Christ. Dr. Raymond Burkhardt and I will continue our discussion of the parable of the sower. I call it the master key parable because Jesus said, you must understand it if you desire to understand the truth in all of his other parables. You can read his words in Mark 4, verse 13, about the parable of the sower. It says, and he said unto them, know ye not this parable? Talking about the parable of the sower.

How then will ye know all parables? Yesterday, Doc Burkhardt and I were discussing that believers in Christ and the seed are so closely intertwined in the parable of the sower that it's impossible to separate the two. Doc is here again to begin today's Bible study by reading Matthew chapter 13 verses one through nine. All right. If you have your Bibles, let's open up to Matthew chapter 13 and let's read together. The same day went Jesus out of the house and sat by the seaside and great multitudes were gathered together unto him so that he went into a ship and sat. And the whole multitude stood on the shore. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, 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 upon 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 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.

Rick? I love studying the parables. I love talking about the parables. They're fascinating. And there's so much truth and wisdom embedded in the parables. And the more you study them, the more you learn. It's just endless. So one of the things I've learned about the parables

is that the objects that Jesus uses to teach us a heavenly truth, the worldly objects he uses to teach us heavenly principles, those objects always, the meaning of them, the interpretation of them always remain the same in all the parables. Through the years, I've been a Christian. It's been a long time. I got saved in 1978. So I've been a Christian for many, many years. And I've heard various preachers and Bible teachers talk about the parables.

And various teachers would, you know, they interchange the objects in the parables. You know, in one parable, something means this, but they're teaching another parable and that object has a different meaning. And it's confusing. And what I've learned is that's not possible. It's not the right way to discern, to decipher the parables. The objects have the same meaning. Let me give you an example. The sower in all the parables is always Jesus. Always.

It's not a different person in various parables. The field is always the world. Right. So these objects have the same meaning. And his audience, the people he was speaking to in his day, would understand those connections, And his audience, the people he was speaking to in his day, would understand those connections, especially his disciples, because he brought them into his inner circle and said, this is that thing. This is what this means. When we talk about the sword,

that's the son of man. And he identified himself as the son of man. And you brought out a good point, Rick. There are a lot of people that mix and match parables to kind of fit their own doctrines, worldview, but God's not the author of confusion. That's right. So there would be no confusion on the part of his disciples. Well, now you meant this in this parable, but you mean this over in this parable. That's right. I remember a couple of years ago, and I would say I've been in, I don't know now how long it's been, maybe four years, where I've been intensely in the parables. And I just keep going back to them and studying them

and seeking more knowledge and revelation. But I remember back maybe three years ago, and I was just learning this concept that the objects are the same in each parable and you can't change the meaning interpretation of them. And I knew that was the truth. I could accept it. But when I tried to apply it to some of the other parables,

I was inside, I was drawing back going, whoa, wait a minute. That changes the parable. That changes the meaning of what I was taught. That can't be true. That can't be true. And then one Sunday here at our church, you were preaching that Sunday

and you preached on a parable. The mustard seed. The mustard seed. Right. And I was sitting there in the audience listening to you preach and inside my head, I'm going, no, Doc.

And I was like, I know what he's saying is right, but I don't want it to be right. You know, so you ever had that? Yes. Well, I walked into that, preparing that particular message. I said, wait a minute, this changes this whole parable here. And hopefully over the next couple of weeks, we'll get into that and we'll show you what we mean,

what you thought was the standard interpretation of a particular parable, when you apply the object lessons that Jesus taught about to that parable, changes of meaning, but it makes a clear meaning of the parable. That's right. I'll give you an example. So birds in the parables, birds are never good in the parables. That's right. They're never good. Jesus identifies in both the parable of the sower and the parable of the tares, birds as the wicked one or Satan directly. But it doesn't mean in the real world birds are bad. No. It just means in the parable, when birds are mentioned,

it is something from a satanic influence of evil. And we joke here about dirty birds in the church. Sometimes when we hear something going on in a ministry or church, we just kind of laugh and go, that's a dirty bird. We know who that person is. Let and go, that's a dirty bird, okay? We know who that person is. Let it go. It's a dirty bird.

Loving. Many people with the parables will teach that loving has been good. My view in real life, loving's neutral. You put loving in something, it just does its work. But in the parables, it's always negative. That's right. And for example, Jesus says, beware the leaven of the Pharisees after one of his parables that he teaches.

And he makes it very clear that there's a leaven, a picture that the leaven produces within, let's say bread, that is similar to the influence that the Pharisees were having in Jesus' day. So these are things that as we walk along here over the next couple weeks, it's going to give you a brand new revelation on the parables. To me, when we first walked through this, this was about three or four years ago,

it was such a refreshing insight to me because I'd heard so many various interpretations of particular parables. But after we started seeing the similarities between the different parables, suddenly it just like, this makes sense. And it fulfills what Jesus said to his disciples here in Matthew 13.

He says, it is not for them to understand, but for you to understand. That's right. And we were seeking for understanding, praying for understanding on that. And then once we saw it and started clicking together, one of the most confusing ones, parables for me, was the parable of the net. I've always wondered what, you know, I've heard various interpretations of it, but, you know. It's easy to understand of it, but, you know.

It's easy to understand. It's really easy to understand now that you have the master key. Right. You know, it was G. Campbell Morgan, bless his heart. I can't wait to meet that man someday in New Jerusalem. But G. Campbell Morgan, Pastor Morgan, is who set me straight about understanding these parables. Because I was studying his writings, his sermons about the parables, and the light came on. It just switched, and I got it.

For the first time, I really got it. And I said, okay, I see the truth that he's teaching about the parables. And so if you've been watching us this week, you may be saying, man, I've not heard this stuff before. Is this real? Is this true? Just stay with us. But more importantly, seek the Lord. Don't take my word for it or Doc's.

Seek the Lord and ask the Lord for truth and revelation about the parable. So we're going to go, we're going to look at, first thing to do is look at Jesus's interpretation, his explanation of his own parable. So we'll start with, let's see, this would be verses 18 through 23. Right. Matthew 13 verses 18 to 33. It says, hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. So he's making the explanation here. When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one and catcheth the way that which was sown in his heart. This is he which receiveth seed by the wayside. But he that receiveth 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 dearth for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises, because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among thorns is he that heareth the word and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choked the word and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth it, which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.

All right, let's leave this up here. This is, the principle I'm trying to get across to you is this. The word of God is the seed, but you are what is sown. I want you to ponder on that. We automatically think that the sower is sowing the seed. He's sowing you and me. The seed is the word

but he sows you and me. Let's go through this. He also that received the seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word. The care of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word. And he becomes unfruitful. Not the seed. Right. The seed does not become unfruitful. The seed is the word and he becomes unfruitful not the seed right the seed does not become unfruitful the seed is the word of god the seed the word of god will never be unfruitful

it's the word of god it's you and me that become unfruitful that's right then but he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understands it, which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth some hundredfold, sixty, and some thirty. The seed is the word, but it's you and me who Jesus sows. He sows us into the world.

The field is his world. He sows us into the world. The field is his world. He sows believers. He doesn't sow unbelievers. He doesn't sow pagans. He sows good seed. He sows good seed. It says that in the parable of the tares. He sows good seed.

Well, he sows believers who have heard the seed, Doc. This is critical here. He sows believers who have heard the seed. Yes. And have received it, understand it. But not all believers who have heard the word and received, not all believers produce the harvest. But he sows all of us. He sows every believer who hears the word of God

because you can't be a believer unless you've heard the word of God. And understand it. But he sows the believers into the field which is his world. The world is his field. He sows us into the world but not every believer

who's heard the word, the seed, produces a harvest. And even among the good seed that produces a harvest, there's three levels of harvest production. 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold. So even among the good seed, it's not uniform. Now, the question may be asked then, you know, how can you be the seed and the word at the same time? Well, Jesus himself was both the word and the seed. It says in John 1, 1, in the beginning was the word. The word was with God.

The word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. Jesus is the word. But it also says in Galatians 3, 16, that Jesus Christ is the seed of Abraham. He's the seed that's talked about in the Garden of Eden. He is the seed. That's right.

So he is both the word and the seed. And then it goes on to say. And a man. That's right. And it goes on to say in Ephesians that we are in Christ. We are in him. Therefore, if we identify with Christ, we also identify with the word and with the seed as well.

So to me, there's no contradiction. There's no conflict at all here. And he says, if you are in me and my word is in you. Yes. He doesn't say if he's in you, if his word is in you. You got it. You can ask whatever you are. Praise God.

You can ask for whatever you want and it'll be given to you. That's right. So we're intertwined with the word and it's the it's the seed is the word of god but you and i who have heard the word of god is what is sown into the world which is his field why does he sow us why does he sow believers who've heard the word of God? He sows believers into specific places in the world where he needs a harvest. Not where you need a harvest. Not where you need a harvest.

Where he needs a harvest. This is all about Jesus Christ. All of it. Everything, the church, the kingdom. It's all about Jesus. Jesus Christ. All of it. Everything to church. It's all about Jesus. It's not about you and me. It's about Jesus Christ. He needs

a harvest. Where does he sow the seed, which is the word that's inside people who have heard the seed? Into the world, but where? Good soil. No. Dr. Good soil heard the seed. The world. Into the world, but where? Good soil. No. Not the good soil.

It's the believers who have received the word and produced a harvest. But where does he sow those people? He sows them where he needs a harvest. Right. Pastor, you're wondering why God sent you to the worst neighborhood in the city to build a church. And you have labored and you have worked and you have sacrificed and you've cried and you've hurt. And you think, God, why, why?

Why did you send me to the worst neighborhood in this city? Because he needs a harvest. He needs a harvest there. There are drug addicts there. There are prostitutes there. There are lonely people there. There are destitute people. There are lonely people there, there are destitute people, there are poor people.

He sent you to the worst neighborhood because he needs a harvest. He sends us to the places that need a harvest, that he needs a harvest, a harvest of souls. A harvest of souls. That's what he's harvesting. 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold.

He's harvesting souls. This isn't about money. My Lord, for decades, I've watched Christian TV and I've heard preachers talk about, you give $1,000 to God and you're going to get the 30-fold, 60-fold, 100-fold return. It's a lie.

It's a lie. It has nothing to do with money. God will return on your money that you give him. Let him decide how much he gives you. He will do it. Absolutely. But this parable is about him. It's about a harvest that he receives from your life. See, Doc, if the focus on the parable is on the seed and not the person, then you and I escape responsibility. That's right. Well, the seed didn't produce the harvest. But that can't be true. That's the Word of God. It's the Word of God. And it will do what when he goes out? It will not return void.

That's right. But come back after many days. That's right. So the Word will always, always produce a harvest. But it has to be sown and the soil of the heart has to be good. And so he, see, if we as believers think, well, this parable's about the seed. It's about the sower and his seed, okay? No, it's about what is sown.

It's about you and me and you. It's the condition of our hearts that determine how effective the seed is. Right. Has nothing to do with what's going on out there in the world. It has to do with what's going on in your world. Right, because in the parables, it mentions the three particular obstacles.

It mentions the wicked one that could come and steal away the seed. It mentions the stone, the stony heart that's there. Cares of the world. And the stones represent affliction and persecution. And then you have the thorns. The cares of the world. They get intertwined and drag us down.

Those are three things that every believer has to face at some point in their life. Where there are times where Satan tries to take away that word, that faithful word that we, we believe in God, we believe in his word and Satan comes in and steals it away. And yesterday we said it's because that happens when Satan steals away the word. That happens when the person who hears the word doesn't put any value to the word. Right. Doesn't protect it. And so when the devil steals it, he or she doesn't even know it's been stolen.

They haven't resisted the devil so he would flee. I mean, you haven't got to chase away the birds, I guess, right? Well, you know something, it's hard for a thief to take something you're clinging to. Oh, I like that. That'll preach. You better believe it. You cling to the word and the devil comes and tries to take the Word.

You're going to say, hey, devil, get away from me. This is the Word of God. I'm standing on this Word. This is everything. I'm not giving up the Word of God. See, he can't steal this. The devil's not going to come up to me

and steal my Bible. He's not going to steal the Word of God out of my heart because I'm going to fight him over it. But if you don't put any value on the Word of God, if you don't see it as really any great asset to your life, he'll just come up and snatch it. You don't even care.

Do you care if somebody takes something from you that has no value to you? Of course not. I know a man. I got two minutes to tell this story. I knew a wealthy man here in Florida. He passed away. God blessed him.

He got saved at one of my meetings. He was in his 80s when he got saved. Nobody thought he could get saved because he had a reputation, but he got saved. And I liked the man. But he had a lot of people. He had properties around the town, okay? And he had these guys working for him that were, you know.

Questionable? Questionable character, okay? I asked him one day, because he'd have stuff spread out on his properties that they were stealing. I said, do you know these guys steal from you? He goes, yeah. He goes, I put stuff out I want them to steal.

That way they don't steal the real thing. They don't steal the good stuff and they haul away the stuff he didn't want. So he had no value. He had no value. He had no value on the stuff that they were stealing. He was happy they stole it. So when the devil steals the word away from somebody, it's because they didn't value the word of God. It wasn't that important.

They heard a preacher. They heard a teacher. They heard a gospel song. They heard something. It tickled their mind for a little bit, but it had no value. And the enemy, Satan, knew

they really don't appreciate what they just got. I'm just going to come in and take it from them. And there was no resistance. There was no harvest. But see, that person, that's a person who heard the word of God, the seed, and was sown by Christ somewhere in the world to produce a harvest, but they can't produce a harvest because it's been snatched away. It was snatched away because they didn't put any value on the word of God. You know, this is our third day in this lesson on the parables, and we're still in the introduction. That's how good it is.
