TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - September 21: The Day Zelensky Lost the War

Episode Date: September 21, 2023

Today is a historic turning point in the Russian-Ukrainian War. Future historians will record September 21, 2023 as the day when Ukrainian President Zelensky lost the war with Russia. The tide has shifted in Russia’s favor. World leaders are growing weary of Mr. Zelensky’s tactics, begging, and publicity stunts. We will see the war move to negotiating tables this fall unless Joe Biden does something very foolish, but I don’t think America’s ruling class will allow him to do it. Russia has won the war and Poland has won Ukrainian land. It will take many months, possibly a year, for these things to be worked out and settled, but we will look back to this day as the date when Zelensky lost the war. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

This is True News, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. Today is Thursday, September 21st, 2023. Today is a historic turning point in the Russian-Ukrainian war. Future historians will record September 21st, 2023 as the day when Ukrainian President Zelensky lost the war with Russia. The tide has shifted in Russia's favor. World leaders are growing weary of Mr. Zelensky's tactics, begging, and publicity stunts. We will see the war move to negotiating tables this fall, unless Joe Biden does something very foolish, but I don't think America's ruling class will allow him to do it. Russia has won the war and Poland has won Ukrainian territory.

It will take many months, possibly a year for these things to be worked out and settled. But we will look back to this day as the date when Zelensky lost the war. Doc Burkhart is here with me today. We're going to analyze these fast-breaking developments in the global geopolitical landscape. Plus, we'll talk about some politics here in the USA. I want to remind you that True News is co-sponsored by Genesis Gold Group and American Reserves, americanreserves.com, a new company providing emergency preparedness food. And American Reserves is American made, American owned, and that's American reserves. So, Doc, let's take a look at what's happening here. Now, this is a pretty bold statement making that today marks the beginning of the end of the war.

But if you have been listening to True News for any significant period of time, you'll understand why we're saying that today. Yes. The only caveat I would put on it would be unless Joe Biden does something stupid, really foolish, Doc, next week is the one-year anniversary of Biden blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines. Right. Can you believe a year has gone by? I know. It just doesn't seem like it's been that long.

So, you know, I mean, it's obvious the United States blew up the pipelines. I mean, I don't think— We told them we were going to. Yeah, Biden and Victoria Nuland bragged that they were going to do it. So a year has gone by, and it did not stop Russia. No. The only thing that I could see that would prevent this from marking the beginning of the war would be if Biden does something extremely foolish because he doesn't want to go down in history as a loser. Right.

I mean, he made this his war. Yes. Or if the Ukrainian Nazis and the Ukrainian military leadership, and they are Nazis, they really are Nazis. If the Ukrainian Nazis could do something foolish, they could go rogue. So far, they have to get their weapons from the West. They have to get their target coordinates from the West. Right. They've not been able to do anything without the instructions of the West,

from London, Washington, Paris, Berlin. But they could go rogue and use something, some weapon that they have from the West. Maybe a dirty bomb or even attack a nuclear power plant in a radiation cloud over Europe. Precisely. They could do something rogue, which changes everything. I think Zelensky's political future is very short right now. I absolutely would not be surprised in the near future. I say the near future this fall to hear that Zelensky has been replaced. Or he died from a drug overdose. Don't rule it out.

Oh, no. But he's got enough money. He has siphoned off enough money from Western countries. He's got enough money to live a very comfortable life for the rest of his life. And he may decide this is where he exits the stage time to get out cash out go someplace and live on the billions of dollars that he has siphoned off from american aid right like i said there could be there could be a rogue unit in ukraine that does something but if not if if biden doesn't do something foolish, if the

Ukrainian Nazis don't strike out and go rogue, then I think what we're witnessing today is the beginning of the end for Ukraine. And there are several stories that kind of tie together with previous reporting that we've done here on True News that tell us this is it. Well, let's take a look at this one, because where has NATO been able to funnel Western weapons and ammo into Ukraine? How do they get it there? They don't drop tanks and missile defense systems. They don't drop them from planes with parachutes. They have to move them by land. Right.

And where do they do it? Poland. Primarily Poland, yes. Poland is the staging ground. This is where NATO sends all their weapons, and then the equipment and ammo is moved from Poland across the Ukrainian border. And they've been a major partner in this effort here. I mean, it's been significant what Poland has contributed to the overall Ukrainian effort here.

Well, Doc, just a few months ago, it was starting to look like Poland might enter the war. Yes. And then Putin moved Russian nukes into Belarus. Yes. And then? And the talk of war between Poland and Russia. Vaporized. And vaporized.

I want you to see this article. This is from a Turkish newspaper. Ukraine acting like a drowning person over grain import ban, says President Duda of Poland. Now, let me just set this up. Because of the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine. And the blockade in the Black Sea. And the blockade in the Black Sea. Ukraine has had a very difficult time exporting its grain.

Right. So they were moving the grain through Poland. Yes. But the Polish farmers became upset and said, wait a minute. This grain isn't just transiting. You know, it's not like that transitory inflation that the Federal Reserve. It's not transitory grain. It's not transitory grain. This is not transitory grain.

The Ukrainian oligarchs were selling the grain in Poland and depressing the price of Polish grain. So it was hitting the Polish farmers pocketbooks in a big way. And so the Polish government imposed a ban on Ukrainian grain passing through their country. Right. That's where this started. So now you have the president of Poland, President Duda, saying that Zelensky and the Ukrainian government is acting like a drowning man who's pulling down everybody else and threatening to drown the friends who are trying to save the drowning man. So let's take a look at what this article says. So this is Andrzej Duda, the Polish president.

He had these remarks. He was visiting New York two days ago. For the United Nations. Right. And so he's compared Ukraine's reaction to Poland's extension of its embargo on Ukrainian grain imports to the reaction of a drowning person harming the rescuer. He says Ukraine is behaving like a drowning person clinging to everything he can. But we have the right to defend ourselves. Notice he uses that word defend against harm

being done to us. And he told this at a press briefing in New York City earlier this week. A drowning person is extremely dangerous. He can pull you down to the depths. Simply drown the rescuer, the president said. Therefore, he continued, we must act to protect ourselves from the harm being done to us, because if the drowning person drowns us, he will not yet help. So we have to take care of our interests and we will do it effectively and decisively, President Duda emphasized. By the way, Doc, President Duda refused to meet with Zelensky at the United Nations.

Yes. Said he didn't have time. Said his schedule was full. He'd try to work in something later. Yes. And Mr. Zelensky heard that from other quarters, too. Yes, and we're going to tell you some more. People that didn't have time to meet with Zelensky. This is why we're saying something changed today. Yes. The tide has shifted.

It is now in favor of Russia winning the war. Zelensky is losing. Again, there could be intervention. The West could remove Zelensky and put in somebody else to try to finish off the war. I mean, this isn't guaranteed that Ukraine is finished today. I'm just saying as of today, as of this marker, Ukraine is now losing. Yes. We'll move on to the next one. This is RT. Poland issues warning to Ukrainian oligarchs.

All right. And this is coming from the Polish defense minister. Poland's defense minister has blamed Ukraine's oligarchs for the current dispute over grain supplies and said Kiev cannot be allowed to sell its crops on the Polish market. He said, we protect Polish farmers. And I can assure you that as long as the law and Justice Party is in power, it will be consistent. Despite the attacks, we are guided by the interests of Polish farmers. That's coming from Mariusz Blazak. He's speaking on Thursday in an interview on Polish radio.

The idea is for Ukrainian oligarchs to sell grain on the markets where they were supposed to sell and not on the Polish market because this harms Poland, he added. Now, this marks a change in attitude. Yes. You know, the relationship was, I wouldn't call it friendly in the past, but they were working together. But then there's more to the story here. By the way, Poland's parliamentary elections are next month in October. So there's political pressure in Poland. And that means the people running for parliament in Poland are hearing from their constituents. And the Polish citizens are saying, we're fed up with Zielinski right and the farmers are saying you guys better take care of us you're taking care of Zielinski you better be

taking care of the Polish farmers so the politicians in Poland are are feeling the heat and the smartest thing that they can do is dump Zielinski if unless they're going to get dumped by the voters. On this thing, Ukrainian oligarchs, if you're wondering who are Ukrainian oligarchs, I'll just say it this way. Most of them, not all of them, Most of them are members of Tribe J. That's a global organization, Tribe J. And they're members of the tribe. Like Russian oligarchs are members of Tribe J.

We have American oligarchs that are members of Tribe J. So whenever you hear that word oligarch, just think of Tribe J. We're going to crank it up here, show you how Zelensky is losing today. Times of London. This is the big one. Poland stops supplying weapons to Ukraine amid grain dispute. This is the big one right here. No more weapons.

No more NATO ammo moving from Poland to Ukraine. They cut it off today. Right. And this is a significant shift in the Ukrainian conflict. Well, this will starve out the Ukrainian military. Yes. If this isn't changed the ukrainian military will collapse in a short time how will nato get how will nato get the armament the air defense

systems the tanks the ammo the gun how will they get it to ukraine if poland says we're not participating right so poland has announced that it will stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. And again, as we spoke, a mitraille over grain supplies. And this is a new crack in Western support to Ukraine. Now, Warsaw had been one of Ukraine's staunchest allies, but the trade dispute has thrown the relationship into doubt. Mateusz Morawiecki, Poland's prime minister, said the decision would allow his

country to focus on upgrading its military. He said, we are no longer transferring any weapons to Ukraine because now we will arm ourselves with the most modern weapons. And he said this in an interview on the private TV broadcaster Polsat News Wednesday night. Now, what you need to remember here, they're saying we will not transfer weapons. In other words, they're saying weapons that are being shipped to us, we're no longer going to be shipping to Ukraine. We're keeping them. We're going to keep them.

We're going to keep them for our own army. That's right. So Ukraine's agricultural products account for 12 percent of its exports. But after Russia blocked trade via the Black Sea, Kiev became increasingly dependent on overland trade routes through the European Union, which allowed to export to third party markets like Africa and the Middle East. Now, the switch brought grain flooding into Central Europe, which we talked about here on True News, where farmers held protests saying they were being undercut by cheap Ukrainian supplies.

Zelensky said on Monday that Ukraine would sue Poland, along with Slovakia and Hungary, for illegally imposing the import bans. At the UN General Meeting in New York City, President Duda of Poland likened Ukraine's threat of legal action to a drowning person who is grasping at everything and said that Poland had a duty to protect itself. Warsaw has also announced that it would no longer provide aid, listen to this, to Ukrainian refugees living within its borders. In other words, the welcome mat is being pulled back in, and you folks in Poland, why don't you go back home? Yeah, so when he said they're not going to provide aid, that means they're not providing housing, food.

And a stipend, which they've been doing up to this time. Big change. This is a big change. So there are a lot of ukrainian refugees in poland who as of today will not get any more polish welfare right that's what it is it's welfare and poland said we're cutting it off we're cutting off the the weapons and ammo moving through our country in fact we're going to keep what's coming through. We're going to keep it for ourselves. We're going to modernize our army.

Big change taking place today. Zelensky, he's reverting back to his role before he became the president of Ukraine, and that is he's a professional clown. So he's reverting back to his clownship. Yes. And also, that's what he should be called, your clownship. He's a professional comedian. And when you're threatening to sue your next-door neighbor

who has been helping you win a war, you show how inexperienced you are as a national leader. He's going back to being a clown. Right. A comedian. But here's the thing. Nobody's laughing at him now. His friends are walking away from him. In fact, he's kind of annoying now.

He's annoying. They're tired of the publicity stunts. They're tired of the begging. They're tired of the demands. They're tired of the ingratitude. With all that the West has done for him, he's still not thankful. Right. And will come with a bigger, bigger bowl and demand that more money be put into the

bigger bowl and people they're just the world leaders are getting tired of him so again either the war is going to start moving towards the negotiating table which the west does not want because just days ago doc i guess on i want to I want to say Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Alston and Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley were in Germany for a summit with allies. And they said this war is going to go on for a long time. They said brace for the long haul. This is going to last for years. And Secretary Austin announced a new round of military aid and financial aid to Ukraine. So the West is in this. They want it to go. So something's got to happen. Either the West says,

look, we're losing. We got to get out of this thing. Let's just settle it with Russia and move on. Hey, let's go start a war in Syria. We'll get we'll get Russia bogged down in Syria. is going to replace Zelensky and try to keep the war going. But the reason I don't think it's going to go is today I saw an article. I don't know if it was—it was one of the major newspapers, so I'm not going to say which one. It could have been the Times of London or the Wall Street Journal or Financial Times of London. I don't know but it was talking about the alliance of wall street investment houses that have come together to rebuild ukraine well you know black rock is managing that's one of them the the finances in ukraine right now they're managing the country's

finances yes it's just on a contract it's a subsidiary yes the country is a subsidiary of wall street but when i saw that that article saying that these big investment houses have come together on a plan yes under the war is ending soon yes it's time to go in and scoop up the real estate and the land and the farms and the natural resources. They're getting ready to rape and pillage and plunder Ukraine. I'm talking about the West, not Russia, the West. Yes. The Western, our Western oligarchs, members of the tribe J, will be raping, pillaging and plundering Ukraine.

And they got to get the Russian troops out of there for them to plunder. Right. So that tells me we're headed towards the end of the war, unless something gets more bizarre. Now, to add a little bit of depth to this interaction with Poland and Ukraine, we reported, it's been over a year, that there were several articles out there and several sources that were saying that the plans for Poland after the war was to acquire Western Ukraine. This isn't something we made up or something that we just pulled out of thin air.

No, there were a number of outlets that were saying after the war, this is a possible post-war scenario. And once that information out there, the Russians were really pushing it. I mean, really telling it. This is what you're saying. They were just quoting Western sources. That's right. Medvedev often said last year, Poland plans to take Western Ukraine.

Yes. So are the Polish leaders, are they discerning that Ukraine is weak enough now that they can make their move? That was my first thought when I started seeing these stories today. They just pulled the rug out from under Zelensky's feet. Right. Sorry. Looks like it's time to turn out the lights in Ukraine. Oh, and we'll take western Ukraine.

And so what will Ukraine look like? Well, several different scenarios have come out where Poland takes western Ukraine, Russia maintains eastern Ukraine, and all that's left in the middle is the Kiev Republic. Yes. The post-Ukraine republic. Country 404. Yes. The country thatUkraine republic. Country 404. Yes. The country that no longer exists.

Right. You're going to see Ukraine divvied up. Yes. All the big boys are going to split up the country. Everybody's going to get a piece. Yes. And Max Blumenfall, I didn't read the article. I was told that he wrote an article that said the plan is to make Ukraine big Israel.

Well, that's what we reported over a year ago. Yeah, he actually said that at a Rand Paul Institute conference going on in D.C. I think he said it last week, but I saw the article earlier this week where he came at his whole session that he spoke about how Ukraine will become big Israel. Well, then he watched True News. He watched True News a year ago. We're glad to know that because we put that information out over a year ago. Zelensky said Ukraine would become Big Israel.

Yes. Kissinger said 10 years ago that Ukraine would cease. No, he said Israel would cease to exist. And there was actually, we showed how there was talk that Zionist Israel would

move to Ukraine. and there have been proposals to that effect and and the reason is ukraine occupies territory of the old khazarian empire right and so the the ashkenazim would just be moving home to their ancestral homeland ancestral homeland their true ancestral homeland. Ancestral homeland. Their true ancestral homeland. Remember, you heard it on True News. You hear stuff here that you will not hear anyplace else. Hey, this first half of True News Today, co-sponsored by AmericanReserves.com.

This is a great company that has a large variety of emergency preparedness foods. You can go to the website American Reserves, has an S on it, AmericanReserves.com and see the selection of emergency food. It's priced very competitively. As I said earlier, it is American owned,, American-made, and it is American-reserved. So check it out. And a lot of true news. Viewers have been there in the past week. We're getting excellent reports about how many people are going to AmericanReserves.com and stocking up on food.

And they have a variety of different packages, so it really can meet any budget, right? Yes. You can get a 30-day supply. You can get a three-month, a six-month, 12-month. But you can also buy side items, side buckets, meat, vegetables, fruit. Because there's probably a lot of people out there that already have some preparation already made, but they need to supplement it a little bit, right? Yes, so check it out and look at the prices. It's a good company, and they have it in stock right now.

Just remember, things can change at any moment. All right, this is think the I'm all right. This is my prediction I'm making. The West has lost Ukraine. The purpose was the purpose was to drain Russia. But it didn't work. It didn't work. They wanted to bring down Russia so that the American oligarchs could seize Russia's territory and natural resources, break up Russia into 10, 15, 20 small countries and eliminate it as a power.

Right. That was the plan. It did not work. I believe that they will shift the war to Syria. This war with Russia was in Syria before Ukraine. You got to go back to 2011. Barack Obama, who is an intelligence agent, I'm not sure which agency. I'm not sure if it's the CIA or MI6. Or combined.

Yes. I mean, really, what's the difference? He's an intelligence agent. He's not who he says he is. He's a man with no past, no identity. But Barack Obama led a war against Syria to invade. They wanted to bring down President Assad. Remember the Arab Spring?

Totally fake. Yes. Completely fake. A CIA MI6 Mossad George Soros production where they got Arabs to rise up and riot in various countries. Started in Egypt, and then it's moving around to different Middle Eastern countries. They wanted to topple countries. So then they aimed for Syria. And President Assad was a tough old bird, and the Syrian army said,

we will fight for our country. We are not going down. In the West organized this army that they named ISIS. So fake. There is no such thing as ISIS. They organized this army. What is ISIS? It's a ragtag army of Arab mercenaries. I'm not even sure if the fighters are Arabs. They could be Israelis dressed as Arabs. Right. It wouldn't be the first time Israelis went into Arab countries dressed as Arabs and killed Arabs.

How about all the redheaded members of ISIS that are out there? Oh, yes. There's a lot of them. And very tall members. So the ISIS plan didn't work. Russia entered the Syrian war and wiped out ISIS.

Right. Wiped it out. Because Russia saw what they were doing to the Christians. Aleppo is a Christian city in Syria. The West was slaughtering the Christians in Aleppo. Let's just say the Zionists were de-Christianizing Syria. You want to know what I really believe?

The Zionists were de-ianizing Syria. You want to know what I really believe? The Zionists were dechristianizing Syria. They were eliminating the descendants of the Christians who fled the persecution after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. That's the truth, though. They were the descendants. Many of them went to Aleppo. And that's why Aleppo, Syria, became a Christian city for 2,000 years. The Zionists were wiping it out. So, Russell went in to defend them.

And the West became very angry. And right away, 2011, 2012, 2011, 12, 13, Barack Obama, John McCain, Victoria Nuland, they began stirring up civil unrest in Ukraine.

Right. And they brought to power a Nazi regime. And eventually, Zelensky becomes the president. A member of Tribe J became the

president of Ukraine and appointed a lot of Tribe J members to his cabinet. Which had traditionally been a Christian nation. Yes. And some of his cabinet officials couldn't even speak Ukrainian. Yes. So some of his cabinet officials couldn't even speak Ukrainian. Yes.

So what am I saying? The West, the oligarchs in the West are losing the war. I believe they will shift it to Syria. We will go back and see another because they want to drain Russia. They want Russia to have to come in and fight in Syria. That's what I'm expecting. I got a couple other, we got about a half hour remaining here in this first half. By the way, if you did not see yesterday's program with Dr. Malone, you've got to watch it. Yes. It was awesome. YouTube has already taken it down.

Yes, they have. And that shows you how good it is, folks. YouTube took it down the same day. We had to fight like crazy to get that program out yesterday. I mean, it was a battle to get that program out. A nail biter all the way to its release. But we did it through the name of Jesus Christ, the name that is above all names. And we got that program out. Make sure you watch it.

Make sure you share it. And share it with people. So the Ukrainian transgender public relations spokesman, he's not a Ukrainian. It's an American transgender who volunteered for the Ukrainian Army, I think volunteered, most likely on an agency's payroll. So he or she picked a fight with Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance. I'm really starting to like J.D. Vance. I'm really starting to like J.D. Vance. He had the backbone to go out publicly and ask two things. Number one, does this transgender propagandist in Ukraine, does he or she work for American intelligence agencies?

He wrote a letter to the U.S. Director of Intelligence, said, is she on the payroll of the U.S. intelligence agencies? He actually asked that question. And number two, he said, is Ukraine planning to assassinate American reporters? Because that's what Ashton Cirillo was saying. Yes, anybody that criticizes Ukraine would be put on the list and would be brought down this week. So after Senator Vance asked those questions, the person identifying as Sarah Ashton Cirillo, had posted a response on Twitter. And so let's watch this. This is he, she, its response to Senator Vance's accusations.

Senator Vance recently asked the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, along with the Secretaries of State and Defense, if I was working in some capacity for the American government. Simply put, I'm an American serving as a Ukrainian infantry soldier and combat medic who was brought from the Zero Line and assigned to the TDF's media team in the dual role of spokesperson and Russian disinformation analyst. The remaining speculation surrounding me is disappointing. While in Ukraine we are fighting for global liberty and the ideology of victory, too many in Moscow and across the world are still caught up in focusing on the tired trope of gender chaos. Ukraine is a nation that embraces individual liberty and maintains a devotion to God.

The freedom that Ukraine is fighting for is not based on carving out privilege for some, but creating a pathway of prosperity and success founded in hard work and the rule of law for all. Neither I nor any Ukrainian is fighting for tolerance and acceptance for any one group, but for the freedom of every human. This freedom is one that most closely resembles the heroic efforts of the American patriots in 1775. I've never been more proud to be a U.S. citizen as I am fighting on behalf of the Ukrainian people against the tyranny of Russia and their insorted enablers, all of whom are enemies of the United States. The times have changed so much that a war propagandist is a transvestite. I was thinking, Hanoi Jane and Tokyo Rose were real women. Yes. Can you imagine Tokyo Rose being a transvestite? And, you know, the times have changed so radically. But Senator Vance asked that question about whether the person identifying as Sarah Ashton Cirillo was working for intelligence or not.

And she got fired. Yes. Within a day. Really, within hours. Within hours. She lost her job. So the Ukrainian Defense Forces actually went on Twitter and in English issued a statement regarding this individual. And so I'm just going to read it for you here.

This is coming from the Ukraine Territorial Defense Forces. It says the statement of the command of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regarding some statements of the spokesperson of the TDF, Junior Sergeant Sarah Ashton Cirillo. Now, this was from yesterday. The statements of Junior Sergeant Ashton Cirillo in recent days were not approved by the command of the TDF or the command of the AFU. When conducting military operations against the aggressor, the Defense Forces of Ukraine strictly observe the norms of international humanitarian law. I'm going to pause for just a second because that's important. When she directly, he, it directly threatened journalists and reporters and, quote, propagandists, that crossed a line in international law.

Yes, but Ukraine has been violating that for quite some time. There's a hit list. Right, but now the Ukrainian Defense Forces are using that to cover their tracks here. So the third part of the statement reads, the command of the TDF, the Territorial Defense Forces, will conduct an official investigation into the circumstances of these statements. Appropriate decisions would be taken. Sergeant Sarah Ashton Cerello will be suspended immediately pending the investigation. No, she's, U.S. intelligence

will give her a new assignment. That's right. She'll pop up someplace else in a different role. And a couple months later, people go, isn't that the transvestite from Ukraine? I wouldn't be surprised if you showed up as the press secretary at the White House, Rick. I mean, that wouldn't shock me at all. Or as a teacher in a school system or something. They'll give her a role to carry on her propaganda against the American people. I want to continue with this awareness that Zelensky lost the war today. NBC, this is number 21, Zelensky to visit Congress will meet with Biden at the White House.

That will happen today. Right now it is 1237 p.m eastern time and i believe he's already met with members of congress and so he was at the congress today but he uh he's going to the white house this afternoon however that we got some video of of mr uh zolinski this is at the U.S. Congress this morning. Right. And he ended up meeting with McCarthy and Jeffries. Yes, but McCarthy, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy refused to allow Zelensky to address Congress today. Zelensky was there demanding the opportunity to speak to the House and the Senate. And Mr. McCarthy said, we've got too many things on our calendar and you've already been here in the past.

That's right. And no, I'm not going to change the schedule. I'm not going to allow you to speak. So there's another example. Yes. The House speaker dissed him today. He met with him, but he said, we're not we're not going to let you speak. You're not going to get another opportunity to suck money out of the American taxpayers. Right.

So again, Zelensky is he's losing. He's losing today. And then look at this next one from Wall Street Journal. GOP lawmakers warn White House on Ukraine aid as Zelensky visits Washington. So there's a division that's taking place on the support for Ukraine moving forward. As Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky returns to the U.S. Capitol in a bid to shore up American support for his embattled country, this is Wall Street Journal reporting, a group of Republican lawmakers is vowing to oppose another aid package. In a letter viewed by the Wall Street Journal, the group says it is rejecting President Biden's request for an additional $24 billion in security, economic, and humanitarian aid. Now, these lawmakers have said that their concerns about the more than $100 billion

in funding Congress has already approved, complained that the administration supports an open-ended commitment to Ukraine and criticized what they say is an unclear strategy. It's signed by 23 House members and six senators, led by J.D. Vance and Representative Chip Roy and addressed to Shalonda Young, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget. So once again, another crack in that wall regarding Ukraine. Because the U.S. government is on the verge of a shutdown again over the budget and the government is borrowing trillions of dollars to stay afloat. And where are we getting the money? I was looking today, you know who the number one buyers of U.S. Treasuries are right now? Central banks around the world. So foreign central banks are financing the debt of the American government.

We borrow money from foreign central banks so that we can give away the money that we borrow. Does that just think about how idiotic that sounds? Washington borrows trillions of dollars from foreign central banks so that we have money to give away to foreign countries. It's a crazy. It's so stupid that it defies an explanation. Only an idiot would do something like that. Well, that would explain a lot, wouldn't it? That says a lot.

But there's an election coming up in America. Yes. And Republicans don't want to go home and explain to their voters why they borrowed money from foreign central banks to give the money to a foreign government. Right. So you have two classes of Republicans right now. You have the rah-rah, let's go to war Republicans. Mitch McConnell. Yeah. Or Lindsey Graham. And you can name a whole bunch of them. And now you have these new Republicans in the J.D. Vance.

Right. That are asking all, you know, should we keep writing checks on our grandchildren's heritage? Because that's exactly what they're doing. They're funding this war, borrowing from our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. ABC News reporting Biden to announce new military package for Ukraine as Zelensky visits Washington. So, you know, this is not stopping Uncle Joe from getting more billions of dollars to spend on Ukraine. Number 30, this is Novasti News Service, Mr. Petrushev. I always describe him as, that's the man on the right.

I describe him as the Dick Cheney of the Russian deep state. That will help you understand who he is. He announced that Russia is counting on negotiations between Putin and Xi Jinping in an October summit. Right. And in particular, that Putin will travel to China for that. That's important to know. Putin is going to Beijing in October. And this comes on the heels of the biggest Chinese show of force around Taiwan ever.

And as the Wall Street Journal said today, the Chinese military isn't just flying. They're practicing. I saw that headline. You saw that? They're practicing for an invasion. They're getting ready. And I think Xi and Putin are getting together to set the date. Now, it's significant because this will be the first time Mr. Putin has traveled out of the country in quite some time.

And we cause the international criminal arrest warrant. Yeah. And so are they going to go to China and arrest him? I don't think they're going to do that. Well, he he doesn't have to cross any other international airspace because he could just cross over into China. That's right. And be safe. Izvestia news agency. Russia has accumulated a record amount of gold in reserves. So quietly while the war has been trickling on and why sanctions have been put on Russia. They're still buying gold.

They're buying more gold. Why is Russia buying all the gold that they can get their hands on? Because there's a new economy coming and new currency, and it will be gold-backed. At some point, they tank the U.S. dollar. At some point, they torpedo the U.S. dollar that has no backing except lead. Yes, and uranium. And the people of the world are getting fed up with the threats that they're going to get contaminated with uranium or lead poisoning if they don't bow down to the Western oligarchs. Right. So Russia continues to accumulate gold.

And gold is going to be part of the new currency that's coming. You should have gold also. Everybody should have some gold. And if you have the resources, you should get all the gold that you can get, like Russia. I mean, none of us can afford to buy gold in tons. They buy it in tons. Can you imagine ordering a ton of gold? They buy it in tons.

But you can buy it in coins and bars. And you buy it by the ounce. They buy it by the tons. How many ounces in a ton of gold? Russia buys gold by the tons. You can buy it by the ounce. And the best place to get it is Genesis Gold Group. And we have a special website, TrueNewsGold.com.

Hey, we're going to run through some headlines pretty fast. We're going to skip over a couple of things. So New York Post, this is a number 32. That F-35 that crashed in South Carolina, $100 million jet, the pilot ejected. We're military jet having any kind of problems in weather? No. Aren't they designed to travel in all kinds of weather, Rick?

You know, when I saw the videos coming from the local TV stations in South Carolina, I didn't see any stormy weather as they were searching for the jet because they couldn't find it for over, what, 28 hours't see any storms what was the bad weather i think that's a cover-up i think the the controls of the jet were hacked i think the pilot got out because he couldn't fly the jet i'm just kind of curious why a u.s. military jet was flying over U.S. military U.S. territory without its transponder on. That's why I understand it's a stealth jet, but it was flying over U.S. territory with without a transponder. That's right. So you can't track it. That's why they couldn't. So the explanation is, well, the reason we couldn't find it is it didn't have its transponder on. Well, you're not allowed to fly in U.S. airspace without a transponder.

Right. What if a commercial airliner didn't know you were there? Right. You're a stealth plane. How would they see you? How would they know you're there? How would air traffic controllers know you're there? Now, if it was a Russian jet without its transp its transponder oh this would be an act of war that's right so anyhow they're they're continuing with that story um so um i we got to show you one

here i because i got to show you president biden before we run out of time. This is NBC. Missing F-35 jet was flying inverted before the crash. It was upside down. It's running on automatic pilot or a hacker was running it. We don't know. The plane was upside down without a pilot flying over neighborhoods.

Yes. And so we've got a video. Doc found this video from WCBD News 2 television in South Carolina. This is a local farmer I heard a screeching, saw that between a screech and a whistle. I said, what in the world is this? And I heard a boom in my whole house. Well, that's what it sounded like. But apparently nobody reported it to the police. Right. People heard these sounds and nobody said something really weird happened out here.

Because they could have found the jet. Yes. Yeah, because that jet actually crashed about two miles from that particular farmer's house. That's right. But it took them 28 hours to find it. 28 hours after it went missing. I'm not so sure that's true. Well, I'm not so sure either.

But this story has so many holes in it. I know. New York Post reporting the Biden administration has ordered $600 million in COVID test kits to be given away free to Americans this fall. What are they planning? $600 million in free COVID test kits this fall. Yes. One of two things.

Either they are rolling out another virus this fall or they just awarded one of their buddies 600 million dollars in taxpayer money and now they got to get rid of these test kits yes or they've got to line the pockets of a bunch of pharmaceutical companies that's what i'm talking about do we have enough time in yeah i think we do do. I got three minutes. You got to see this Daily Mail. Biden appears to wander off UN stage without shaking the hands of Brazilian President Lula at the end of his speech. This is really bizarre. Let's watch the video. The Republic of Brazil, accompanied by the Director General of the International Labor Organization.

And to say to President Biden, can you hear me, President Biden? This is a historical moment for Brazil and for the U.S. President Biden, can you hear me? You can? Yes, good. And so there's the U.S. delegation that is here with me. I'd like to greet my wife that is also here. I'd like to greet the Brazilian trade unionists that came to my invitation by my labor minister. And I'd also like to greet the U.S. trade union leaders. Not to deceive you, Mr. President. I don't know if you saw President Lula there at the end. He was mad. He was insulted. He was insulted. The first part, President Lula, he's speaking through a translator.

And he's saying, Mr. Biden, can you hear me? Because Biden's standing beside him playing around with the earpiece. He hasn't even put his earpiece in his stupid ears yet to hear the translator. And so the president of Brazil saying, Mr. President, Mr. Biden, can you hear me? Do you have any idea what I'm saying? Biden didn't know what he didn't care. And then President Lula turns to go over and shake Biden's hand and Biden turns his back on him and walks off. And then you saw Lula. He just brushed him off. He took his hand. He brushed him off. That's our fearless leader of the United States of America, Joe Biden. How long will the ruling class of America keep that clown in the White House?

They've got to get somebody to replace him because the American people, it's going to be, look, it was hard enough to make half the country believe that Biden won the first election. From the basement from his basement it will be impossible to even make the democrats believe he won re-election everybody will know in 24 it was rigged if he wins can you imagine him winning in 24 and and the news media tells us he won in a landslide. Nobody saw this coming. Joe Biden pulled off a Harry Truman victory. And if you say it's rigged, you're going to go to prison.

We're going to prosecute you if you say it's rigged. That's how crazy things are. Hey, Morning Manna is coming up in the next segment. We're teaching from the Word of God. You don't want to miss it. We're in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, and we're digging down deep into the precious Word of God. I hope you join us every day live on Morning Manna.

I'll be back in just a moment. You're listening to WWCR, International Shortwave Radio. Stay connected with us on Getter, Rumble, Facebook, X, and Odyssey. For exclusive content, visit our platform, Faith and Values, through desktop, iOS, or Android. Thank you. So we welcome everybody who's joining us from 12 noon to 2 p.m. And that audience is getting bigger and bigger every week as we embark on this new schedule and new format for True News. So one of the things that we're doing in the second hour is showing you what we do early in the morning on faith and values. Doc and I host a morning Bible study. We call it Morning Manna, and we're feeding people the Word of God. It's the true bread from heaven,

the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Word. The Word is Jesus Christ. So we dig down deep in the Word, and right now we're in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. And we're in chapter 10. Yes. And we're taking our time. We're going line by line, precept by precept. We're not rushing through it. We're digging down, drilling down, getting all the,

all of the gems and diamonds that we can find in each verse. And man, I'm just, Doc, I'm enjoying it. I love teaching. It's my passion. I report and analyze and comment on the news because a lot of people need it. They want us to help them understand what's going on. Right. But it's not my passion.

It's not my passion. It's not my passion. My passion is to— I acknowledge that. My passion is to teach the Word of God. And my second passion is to write about Jesus. And teaching the Word of God doesn't at times seem like a burden to you, does it? No, no. I enjoy it.

Rick is always at the top of his game when he's teaching and preaching from the Word of God. And mornings are a great time to tune in for that. So we do Morning Manna each weekday morning at 8 a.m. Eastern on the Faith and Values platform. That means you have to be a member of Faith and Values in order to access Morning Manna. Hundreds of people join with us every single day. Today we had 15 countries that joined us, 15 different countries. And countries as diverse as Japan and Bahrain and Italy, the Congo. Can you imagine the Congo?

We actually have two people that tune in regularly from the Congo. But just scattered all over. We have a contingent from Germany, a contingent from Australia. And this Saturday, we're baptizing a gentleman, a young man from Zurich, Switzerland. Yes. His name is Sebastian, and he's visiting Florida. And he asked me, would you baptize me? So we're baptizing him.

We had a lot of other people say, well, I'd like to be there too. And I'll tell you, we want to do that. My request is this. Because we saw how many people asked to be baptized, we will schedule a baptismal service once per month. Right. And that will give you time to make your travel plans to come to Vero Beach. And it gives us time to work out the arrangements in the community to have, because we want to go to the river. And, you know, we want to make sure to make sure that we have everything properly worked out,

and we're not conflicting with another group that might be using the site that we want to go to. And there's some talk, there may be some weather events here this weekend. So I'd like to have this baptism this Saturday with just Sebastian, and then next month we'll open it up to the general public, anybody that wants to come here and be baptized. Doc and I, we will baptize people all day long. That's right. All day long. I had a dream several years ago. Some of you will remember it.

And in the dream is very simple. Doc and I, we were baptizing people in the line of people. It stretched what it looked to me like a mile. Right. They just were people were standing in single file line. They were very humble and reverent. People were just standing with their heads down, looking down at the ground and just moving forward. And and the line went down along the side of the road. Right. And as far as I could see, I could just see people lined up to be baptized. And if I remember right, it seemed like the attitude of the people that were lined up, like you said, they were humbled, their heads were bowed, but as if something significant had happened. Yes, that's what I felt in the dream. Like something really big happened in the world, and it shocked people. And they knew that they had to

be baptized and that they had been putting it off for a long, long time and they wanted to be baptized. And so there was this quietness, this, uh, reverence, this humility as they waited to be baptized. But in that dream, doc and I were just baptizing. And I remember saying, look, doc, there's Doc, there's a platform. There's a stage. I said, we could stream this to the world. Now, a platform in the Internet world is streaming. Right.

A platform like Faith and Value. Yes. That's true news. There's a platform. Rumble is a platform. Getter is a platform. But I remember in the dream, there was a stage that you stood on. I said, look, Doc, there's a platform. Getter is a platform. But I remember in the dream, there was a stage that you stood on. I said, look, Doc, there's a platform.

We could do the baptisms here and stream this to the world. My friends, I believe that dream was showing us that there is a day coming that there will be so many people coming to Vero Beach to be baptized that the line will extend for a mile or so. And we will stream it live around the world. It won't be a one-time event. It will be a continuous event. There's something coming in the world. There's something coming that's going to shock the world, and it's going to jolt people out

of this delusion that they're living in. You've got a lot of people who think that they're Christians. Yes. And they've never been born again. They've never been baptized. And they're living a lifestyle that is not godly. But there's an event coming that's going to change

the world. And they're going to come here in large numbers to be baptized. And we will have to call in help. We will need help to baptize all the souls. Well, we're going to go to today's morning manna lesson. This is from chapter 10 of the Acts of the Apostles. You're going to be blessed. I hope you learn a lot from it and join Faith and Values and be part of the live Bible study every morning, 8 a.m. Eastern time. Join in. You can chat. You can ask us questions.

And today, my goal is to get from verse 7 to verse 16. So let's pray, and then Doc can read the the word and we will begin the lesson dear gracious father father we humbly come to you today in the name of jesus full of thanksgiving and gratitude for all that you have done for us all that you do us, all that you will do today and tomorrow. You are a good Father, and we are grateful. We are not complainers. We are not murmurers. We are worshipers, and we are happy, grateful sons and daughters in your family, always thinking of the goodness of our Heavenly

Father. So, Father, we invite the Holy Spirit into this Morning Man of Bible study to open our spiritual ears and eyes to hear and see the principles of your kingdom. Teach us your ways and reveal to us the glory of your son, Jesus Christ, and the glory of his kingdom that shall have no end. In his name, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen. All right, Doc. Okay, so picking back up in Acts chapter 10, and starting at verse 7, read along with me. I'm reading from the King James.

And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually. And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. On the morrow, as they went on their journey and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour. And he became very hungry and would have eaten. But while they made made ready he fell into a trance and saw heaven opened and a certain vessel descending unto him as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners and let down to the earth wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him,

Rise, Peter, kill and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. And this was done thrice, and the vessel was received up again into heaven. God bless the reading of his word today.

Amen. So we'll start with verses 7 and 8. When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually. Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa. I don't think the angel suddenly disappeared. I believe he departed like a human would depart leaving a room. It says that the angel departed and to me that that does not imply that he suddenly disappeared i think he just it's like he turned and walked away uh casually now cornelius Cornelius was a Roman Gentile lover of the God of Israel. Yes.

But he was not a converted Jew. He called a meeting of two servants in his house who also loved the God of Israel. And Cornelius was a devout soldier who had another devout soldier serving under him. Now, he had more soldiers under him than one, but one also loved God. And this soldier was attached to the personal service of Cornelius. And Cornelius' faithfulness as a soldier and a lover of God produced another man just like him. Right. At least one. At least one. Because Cornelius was faithful to God and pleased the Lord, God gave Cornelius faithful servants to assist him.

Verse 8, having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa. Again, Cornelius had two servants and one soldier he could trust. He told them everything that happened with the angelic visit, and then he sent them off to joppa therefore he was obedient to the angelic instruction and acted promptly this is the lesson here for us to be obedient to the instructions of the Holy Spirit and act promptly. Right. I have found that if you delay, if you hesitate, if you procrastinate, most likely you will never fulfill the instruction. Especially in those times where it's obvious supernatural intervention

that's underway. Yes. Either through a vision, through a a dream through a divine encounter divine appointment that comes your way that it that's not made by man at all where you know that god is involved so don't ignore those opportunities that come along so if god gives you a vision and you're and it's confirmed in your heart that this is from the Lord or a dream, you need to act on that immediately. And isn't it interesting over the past several chapters here, Rick,

where you have several instances of this with Paul and, you know, with others that in order to move the story along, if you will, and move the gospel along, God had to step into the middle of the situation and do a supernatural work in order to move things along. Or else, because we wouldn't have, or in that case, they wouldn't have done anything. There would have been no outreach to, you know, the Samaritans or to the folks in Joppa or in this case, an outreach to Cornelius that we're going to be seeing, unless God had entered the picture and given divine instructions to his saints. That's true.

Doc, I think all of us can think of times in our lives as Christians that when we were obedient to the Lord promptly. We immediately acted on what we believed the Holy Spirit was telling us to do. But I think we can also, all of us admit there were times when we missed the Lord. Yes. When we didn't follow through. And sometimes we later find out why he was telling us to do something. And there was a role that he wanted us to play in somebody else's life. And we missed the opportunity. I believe God found somebody else to do it. But we missed that opportunity. And, you know, I'd like to think that I've always been prompt in obeying the Holy Spirit.

But I have to be honest. I know I haven't. There have been times I've had to repent and say, Lord, I missed you on this. I hesitated. I procrastinated. I wondered in my mind, is that you speaking to me? You have to get to the place where you know the voice of the Lord. You know, right now I'm thinking of an instance. I mean,

I could tell you many stories where I was quick to obey the Lord. And as I've aged, I think I've become much better at it. But earlier in my life, there were times when I didn't act. And I'm thinking about one time. This was many years ago, decades ago. And there was a friend that I grew up with, and I had not seen him for, I don't know, at that time. I may not have seen him for over 10 years, but we used to be close friends in our youth. And his name kept coming to my mind. And it's like just a gentle, you know, each day I would just think about him like you should call him. And I kept putting it off. I was so busy.

I kept putting it off. And then one day I was talking to another old friend who also knew that man. And he said, oh, Rick, I don't know if you know about so-and-so. His wife left him and he's going through a divorce. He's had a very, very tough time in recent months, and I knew right there, that was the Holy Spirit telling me, call him. Just call him. He needs a friend. He needs someone to talk to right now. And that's what I mean. Obey the Lord when he gives you instruction. You know, if you were around when I had COVID two years ago,

and there's no exaggeration, I almost died. And I wasn't gasping for my breath. I was just, my breath was getting fainter and fainter and fainter. I was just barely breathing, but I wasn't gasping. But I was just, my breathing was just getting fainter. And I knew something was really wrong. And there was one night with COVID that for the first time in my life, I was dealing with the thought I might die tonight. I'm not sure if I'm going to wake up in the morning. I knew I was very, very sick. What did the Lord do? A friend that I had not seen, I mean, I'm going to try to say

over 15 years. We had talked by phone maybe once or twice a year, but we had not physically seen each other for at least 15 years. That night, that man was prompted by the Holy Spirit to call me. And his words, his first words to me was, Rick, you will not die tonight. His very first words, Rick, well, the very first thing he said was, Rick, what's wrong? And I said, I'm very, very sick. And he said, you will not die tonight. Now, how many times have you started a conversation like that with somebody? But that was the Holy Spirit. Yes. And those words, I held on to those words all night long. All night long, I will not die. In fact, the Lord gave me a scripture that said, I shall not die, but I

shall live, and I shall declare the glory of the Lord. And I stood on that all night long. And the next day, my son took me to the hospital, and I was very, very sick. And so when God gives you instruction, obey it right away. I've seen people, I know sometimes the Holy Spirit will speak to a person about donating something to a church or a ministry. And they know it's the Lord, but they procrastinate. And hours turn into days and days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months and they forget about it. But they really did hear the Lord. But they procrastinated and they didn't carry through on the instruction. I've had people write to me and send money, say, hey, I apologize. The Lord

told me three months ago I was supposed to give this, and I didn't do it, and he reminded me about it yesterday. You know, I've seen the letters and emails like this. We all do it. We all do it. And the lesson in this is that Cornelius was, because he was a soldier, he was trained to obey. Yes. And to obey promptly. He carried out orders immediately. So. Well, I think the question a lot of people would have, Rick, is that how do we avoid second guessing if God has spoken to us or not? And the way I view it is if you're under the impression that God is leading you or has given you a vision or a dream go ahead and act on it and if you're wrong you know that that's between you and the lord just act on it he's not going to punish you he's not going to rebuke you and punish you if you sincerely thought you were doing what he asked you to do right we will grow and mature spiritually and we learn to recognize that still small voice

that belongs to the holy spirit yes my sheep know my voice and so that's what jesus said my sheep know my voice so um cornelius dispatched his three servants, two household servants, one soldier. So he was obedient to the angelic instruction. He acted promptly. And in the mouth of two or three witnesses, may every word be established. Yes. Now, first, the angel promptly departed the presence of Cornelius because his mission was accomplished. It was not the mission of the angel to preach the gospel to anybody.

Angels don't preach. Right. The angel delivered the instruction to Cornelius to send men, humans, to Joppa to find a guy, a human named Peter, who was lodging in a house near the seashore that was owned by a tanner named Simon, a human. The angel did his job. And the angel observed that the three servants promptly departed the presence of Cornelius to fulfill the angel's instructions. A prompt response to a spoken instruction will deliver a promise spoken reward yes acesarea was approximately 30 miles north of joppa along the coast now i personally believe that the three men departed joppa that same day remember it was three o'clock in the afternoon when the angel appeared. Right. So I believe that they left in late afternoon or early evening of the same day, but it was too late to reach Caesarea the same night. But I believe they got on the road right

away and said, we can get in a couple miles before it's too dark to travel. Verse 9 and 10. And this gives us a clue about the journey. Now, on the next day, as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up to the housetop to pray at about noon. He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance. So verse 9, I believe this was the first full day of travel. It's one of two things. Either they left the night before and then finished the journey on the next day, or they waited and left early in the morning and traveled all day, which would be the next day.

So at approximately noontime, Peter went up on Simon the Tanner's house rooftop to pray. And verse 10 says he became hungry. Hunger pangs gripped Peter. Very hungry, it says. He became very hungry. Well, what was he doing? He's on the rooftop by the seaside. And Peter's a fisherman.

And I think he was gazing at the sea and thought about how good a grilled fish and fresh bread would taste right then. And his body was hungry. Peter, however, did not discern that his hunger was not a natural hunger. It was a supernatural hunger. Yes. God sent the hunger to his body. It was just not a normal hunger. He was, that hunger came from heaven.

It was a physical hunger. He was really hungry for food. And so while Peter was waiting on others to prepare the noonday meal, he fell into a supernatural trance. It says he became hungry and desired to eat. He was hungry. He was like, I want to eat something right now. But while they were preparing, so he's up on the roof and he's waiting on the people below

to get the lunch ready. And at that moment, he fell into a trance. The Greek word for trance means a displacement of the mind it is as though the person becomes absent from his or her body unaware of physical surroundings and allowed to see and understand divine things it's a state of being awake while in a dream. I've only had this happen to me one time in my life. I was wide awake in a dream state.

I've had several visions, but there was only one time where I would say it was a trance because I was I was wide awake but I felt like I was in a dream so what we have here is Cornelius experienced a vision but Peter experienced a trance two different things. Verse 11 and 12. He, meaning Peter, saw heaven opened. Notice, opened. He didn't see heaven open up. He saw heaven opened.

It was already opened. In past tense, he saw it. it was already opened in past it was he saw it it was wide open and a certain container descending to him like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, birds of the sky. So Peter was on the roof of a secular Jew who was outside, living outside the strict confines of Judaism because he made his living tanning animal skins. Right. So this is Simon the Tanner. And the strict religious Jews didn't have anything to do with him.

Therefore, Simon the Tanner was unclean because he worked all day with unclean dead animals, according to the Jews. But Peter knew it when he went there. So Peter spent several hours in morning prayer on the rooftop and he could hear the sea waves and he could smell the fresh sea breeze. And toward noon Peter suddenly became hungry, and he's told, Peter, be patient. The lunchtime meal is being prepared. While he's waiting on the rooftop, he falls into a supernatural trance as he's gazing toward the Mediterranean Sea, and he looks up, and he sees heaven open. He sees the sky above him opened and a large object descending down from the sky toward him. Now, the Greek word for this vessel can be interpreted as a sheet or a sail. It's possible he saw a great white sailboat sail. Which a tanner would make. Yes, and a fisherman would understand.

That's why I believe it was a sail because Peter was a fisherman and he loved to be on boats. And I believe he saw a giant sail coming down from the sky and moving towards him. This is a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth. Instead of saying by four corners, a better translation would be bound by four ends. Yes. Perhaps Peter saw, and this is, look, there's differences of opinion about this. And it really doesn't matter which one you go with because it's not that crucial to understanding the story. But perhaps Peter saw four ropes attached by a knot on each corner of the sail or the sheet that the angels held to gently lower this sheet down from heaven towards Peter.

Right. So it was made into a bag or anything, but the sheet was spread out and being pulled in four corners. Yes. It was full, as we'll see, full of every kind of animal you can imagine. Yes, so each tied in represented, this is my belief, I believe that each tied in represented one of the four corners of the world. I'll go with that. Now, it could also mean that the four corners were bound together and tied with a knot. Some people believe that, Doc. Right.

That what this means is that it had four corners that were knitted, and then they were brought together and tied. All four corners were tied together, and now it's forming like a sack. Right. It really doesn't matter. It's not the sheet that's the issue. No, that's not the issue. The sheet's not the issue. It's not the issue. The sheet's not the issue. Verse 12, in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.

To me, the sheet is very similar to the gospel net Jesus described in the parable of the net. In that parable, the net represents the gospel of the kingdom and the net has been floating in the great sea of humanity since the resurrection and on the day of the lord the angels will pull up pull in the net and separate the fish and toss the bad fish into the lake of fire so peter saw a similar object holding all kinds of animals, reptiles, and birds. The sheep that descended from heaven did not hold only unclean animals. I've heard this taught many times that the sheet was full of unclean animals. No, it's all kinds of animals yes verse 12 says in which were all kinds of animals wild animals and reptiles and birds of the sky

they were all mixed together clean and unclean the message to peter was that god was granting him permission to pick and choose any animal in the great sheet that he could eat it. It was up to Peter. You choose one. They're all clean. I'm declaring them all clean. It meant that the distinction between clean and unclean had been erased. All were clean.

So the gospel is intended. It's meant for all nations, all races, all languages. So all kinds were in the sheet. It was very diverse. Oh, my. Our present society loves the word diversity. There was great diversity represented in that sheet. If the animals in the sheet came down from heaven,

it means that they were at one time in heaven. Right. You need to ponder on that one. The message is this the people condemned by religious people as unclean were made by god yes and in heaven in heaven god declared all to be clean. Yes. And what's going on here is God is preparing Peter's heart because Peter had gone all the way in ministry, really, that he could go among the Jews. He's at Simon the Tanner's house. There is no further, you know, boundary among the Jews that you could go at that point. And geographically, Doc, what's in front of him? The sea.

And the sea in the Bible always represents humanity. Right. And up until this point, there has been no ministry to the Gentiles at all. None. At least among the apostles. And so that we read in the book of Acts. So there's been no ministry to the Gentiles. And there'd be no motivation among Peter to go to the Gentiles because, why?

They were considered unclean. Yes. Verse 13 and 14. A voice came to him rise peter kill and eat a divine voice spoke to the human hunger pangs in peter's body remember it was god who divinely placed that hunger in Peter's physical body. And now this divine voice from heaven says, rise, kill, eat. God used a physical impulse, the need to eat food, to convey a spiritual revelation. The kingdom of God was now open to Gentiles. To a Jew, the message that it was permissible to eat unclean animals was an announcement that the law of Moses had been nullified and no longer in effect. Peter would soon comprehend the spiritual meaning of the instruction the moral message was twofold on the lower level the message was that humans could now eat any kind of animal

and by the way and i'm i know i'm certain there are people watching me right now who are still practicing the rules of Judaism and will tell you that you cannot eat certain food. Right. And all I will say is this. Your choice in the foods that you eat are your personal choices. Do not impose it on somebody else. Right. If you don't want to eat a certain type of food, that's your business. I will respect it, but please don't point a religious finger at me and tell me that I'm a second-class citizen in the kingdom of God because I had a bacon and egg sandwich. Now, I don't eat a lot of pork anymore, but it's not because I'm under religious conviction that I can't eat it, that I've sinned if I eat a piece

of bacon. You're not sinning if you eat a piece of bacon. Health-wise, if you eat a lot of bacon and pork and stuff, it's not good. But there's a lot of food that's not good to eat a lot of. But that's making a choice based on, you know, the food itself, not on the religious rule. That's right. If you start telling people the Bible says don't do it, therefore don't do it, that becomes the rule. That becomes the law. And then you're obligated to the whole law every bit of it that's right you can't go and pick and choose and say this one that one everything else you have to abide by the whole law that's right it's not good to eat a lot of cherry pie

yeah rick you know it's not good to drink a lot of water. You can drown. I mean, it's true to things. You know, there are people who would be super religious about never eating pork or seafood or certain foods and yet drink sodas all day long. Right. And they don't connect. They don't see anything wrong day long. Right. And they don't connect. They don't see anything wrong with that, okay? Sodas aren't good for you. But there's not a religious restriction on it.

So, again, there's a twofold message here. On the lower level, the message was humans could now eat any kind of animal. And this is particularly to the Jews, because that restriction was not on Gentiles. It was only on Jews. On the higher level, the moral message was that Jews and Gentiles were now equal and standing on level ground together at the cross to receive salvation and entry into the kingdom of God. And I think Peter had a hunger to preach the gospel, and that hunger is related to his physical hunger too. He had a hunger to preach the gospel and he desired to preach it and share the gospel, but he'd come to a wall, to a limit, if you will. Where do you go from here? I'm preaching to a tanner. I'm discipling a tanner. Where else is the ministry opportunity and god shows him listen there's i've made it all level at the foot of the cross yes peter probably every day as he was uh making his rounds as an apostle

visiting church members searching for somebody who could be healed. His mind must have often thought, I'm bypassing these Gentiles. I'm walking past the homes of the Gentiles and I'm not talking to them about Jesus. But he had this religious restriction in his mind. And he was bypassing the Gentiles because he did not yet believe that the Gentiles were worthy to be saved. And at this moment, in this trance that he's experiencing, God is showing him, all are clean now. They have been made clean in heaven.

Yes. I brought the Gentiles up to heaven with Jesus in the ascension. Peter resisted the command saying not so lord for i have never never never never lord have i ever eaten anything that's common or unclean he was emphatic about it he promptly and proudly informed the divine voice that he had never violated the law of Moses regarding clean and unclean food. And so Peter recognized that this is the voice of the Lord, right? Telling him to do something that he was told he couldn't do. Yes.

So he was, we talked about second guessing yourself think about this peter encountered this as well yes he was a devout jew and yet he was a devout disciple of jesus christ he had one foot in each world he had one foot in judaism one foot in the kingdom of god he still had yet to comprehend that God desired to save the Gentile nations. Up until that day, Peter was entirely focused on preaching the gospel to Jews. And all the people who had been saved until that day were Jewish. And this polite pushback against the divine command was so typical of Peter's character. It's just Peter. Matthew 16, 22, Peter said to Jesus, be it far from thee, Lord.

Yes. When Jesus told him about the approaching crucifixion. In other words, never, ever, I will not let that happen. When Jesus attempted to wash Peter's feet, Peter responded, thou shall never wash my feet. So here we are again. The voice of God is speaking to Peter, and he's saying, let me go on the record, Lord. I have never, ever eaten. Not so, Lord. Ham sandwich. It's not so. It's just Peter. But God loved Peter. Peter was so real, so honest, so genuine, authentic. Verse 15, a voice came to him again the second time.

What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean. When God gives you a command, he will tolerate an initial question or objection to give you time to understand his instruction. He will repeat the instruction, but it's not wise to object or resist the second command the divine voice declared that god had cleansed all animals as food fit to eat the spiritual message once again was that all humans jews and gentiles now stood on the same footing in the eyes of god A more profound revelation was in this vision. Yes. The incarnation of Jesus Christ as God in human flesh in the womb of Mary and the ascension of the resurrected Jesus Christ to heaven to sit on God's right hand meant that fallen humanity had been taken up to heaven too. Try to comprehend this. When Jesus ascended, after the resurrection, he took up to heaven fallen humanity and made it clean.

The sheet was lowered from heaven with all kinds of animals. They were not clean and unclean anymore. It never says that they were the scripture doesn't say in that sheet were clean and unclean animals.

It says they're all clean. Yes. Preachers, religious people say, well, in that sheet were clean and unclean animals. No, the message is they're all clean. Yes. Now what Peter saw when he saw it, he saw common and unclean. Yes. But his religious mind said there are clean and unclean. But God says, no, Peter, you're wrong. They're all clean.

A transformation had taken place in heaven. All were clean in Christ. Jesus Christ justified us. The atonement was made for us. God used the vision of a wide assortment of animals to eat as the method to teach Peter that the people whom the Jews condemned as unclean, which is the entire Gentile world, would now be welcomed by God into his kingdom and granted the same privileges as the Jews. Yes. Anybody who believes in the name of Jesus would now be classified as a citizen of Israel, the people of God.

Now, sadly, most Jews refused to accept the cancellation of the law of Moses and the separation of Jews and Gentiles. Even today, Jews still cling to a viewpoint that expired over 2,000 years ago. They don't realize it. Judaism ended 2,000 years ago. In heaven, it ended. They're still living in something that God doesn't even recognize.

Right. It's sad. For Peter, the lesson was the Gentiles could now enter the kingdom of God without going through the gateway of Judaism. And although Peter accepted the revelation that day, it took him years to purge Judaism from his mind as he dealt with the reality that there was no longer any need to adhere to old Jewish restrictions and the requirement that Gentiles convert to Judaism if they wanted to be a member of Israel.

And we'll see this later in our study of the book of Acts, where Paul had to go to Jerusalem and rebuke Peter. Verse 16, this was done three times. Three times. And immediately the vessel was received up into heaven. What was repeated three times? Perhaps the entire vision was repeated thrice. Do you think maybe the entire interchange was repeated three times? That Peter was not so Lord three times? Yes.

Or I think the vision. I think he saw three times the sheet come down and the voice said, rise, kill, eat. I think he saw it three times. Now, it's interesting that, of course, Peter denied Jesus three times. And then on the seashore, Jesus told Peter, feed my sheep three times. And so I guess with Peter, it takes a while to get through to him. Yes. And, Doc, that's literally my next point the triple showing of the vision and the audible instruction coincided with people with peter's triple denial of jesus

and jesus's triple instruction to peter to feed his sheep you know peter is, there it is again. Three, three times. Happened to me again. But I want to say this about Peter. Because I love him as an apostle. Yes. Although Peter initially struggled to accept the vision and the instruction, years later, he was able to write in 1 Peter 2, verse 9,

but you, and he's speaking to Gentiles, but you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light eventually peter got it and he he preached it with all his might it took him it took him some time it's okay god was gracious to him god knew knew that Peter would eventually get it. Those words, you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, this comes right out of Deuteronomy. the very same words that that describe the christian church today are the same words god

described heaven's view of the hebrew people a holy nation a chosen race a royal priesthood my friends this is nothing against the Jewish people. But I'm telling you, my friend, if you are a Christian, you are the chosen people of God. The chosen people of God are still the people of Israel today. But it's not a political state. It's a spiritual state. The people of Israel have always been the people who love God and obey him. By faith. And by faith, by faith. Abraham is the father of our faith, and we are heirs to the promise of Abraham.

And what was God's promise to Abraham? The promise was the Holy Spirit. And at Pentecost, God fulfilled the promise. God delivered the promise on Pentecost. This is that. This is that. That was spoken of by the prophets. Don't let anybody tell you that Jews who deny Jesus Christ are God's chosen people. They used to be. They have to get back into Israel. They're outside of Israel right now. Don't condemn them. Don't do anything against them. They were on the outside,

but God wants to bring them back in. His desire is to save them. But if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you've been baptized, you're in his church, you are now God's chosen people. You are in his holy nation. We have been adopted as Gentiles and brought into Israel. But remember, we've been grafted in but paul said don't don't be cocky and arrogant about this because whatever's been grafted in

can be ungrafted if if you're full pride right so be very careful what you say i'm i'm grateful that i was brought into Israel, the people of God, the nation, a holy nation. And my desire is for the Jewish people to be saved, to believe on the name of Jesus Christ. So that all Israel is saved. That's God's mission. All Israel be saved when he comes back. All right, Doc. Those are my thoughts for today.

Great lesson today, Rick. And people are really loving it and really learning a lot, they're saying. And so it's a great blessing. And so really appreciate your efforts and digging into the word and allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through you. All right. That's it for today. Thank you so much.

Doc, this was a really good Bible study today. It was. We're getting into some very deep subjects here at this point in the study of the book of Acts.

Because what did it mean? I really want to emphasize again, for those animals to come down from heaven, they had to first go up. Yes. They went up, not physically, okay, spiritually. Mankind, fallen mankind, ascended with Christ. And Christ presented what he did on the cross to God the Father and said, I have paid the price for all of humanity. And God the Father said, I declare all humans clean. All humanity clean.

You have to accept it. Yes. Your responsibility is to accept your clean bill of health. Amen. There's a certificate in heaven that says you are now clean. In God's eyes, you're clean, but you have to pick up your certificate. You have to claim it and you do it by being born again and baptized in water.
