Reuters reported today that the Biden administration is inching closer to an agreement to allow Ukraine to use American made long range missiles to hit military and critical infrastructure targets deep inside Russia. Meanwhile, a senior Russian diplomat reiterated that the Kremlin is fast

tracking a revision of Russia's policy to use its vast nuclear arsenal. I'm Rick Wiles. This is True News for Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024. Let's begin our analysis and commentary of today's headlines by looking closer at this Reuters exclusive article, U.S. close to agreeing on long-range missiles for Ukraine. Delivery to take months. Well, Doc, at least we know that we have months to live. Maybe. Oh, I'm sorry. Now I'm upsetting people by telling them the truth. Yeah. I've been reading emails lately. People are upset. I shouldn't talk about it. We're telling too much truth. Yes. We have been getting them, folks. Yeah. They don't want to hear this hear this folks you got to deal with reality

we are running the United States of America and Europe is literally running to Armageddon that's the truth I didn't ask for this job I didn't apply for it it's what was laid on

me from heaven above and I've been faithful to deliver the message. And I know people don't want to hear it, but hey, this is what I was told to report. We are on a collision course with Armageddon, and no amount of positive thinking is going to change it. That's a fact, okay? So this is what Reuters is reporting. The U.S. is close to an agreement to give Ukraine long-range cruise missiles that could reach deep into Russia.

Bykyov would need to wait several months as the U.S. works through technical issues ahead of any shipments, U.S. officials said. Let's see, Doc, we're in now September. Yes, it's hard to believe. So that would take us several months. Several is what? More than one.

Right. So say two to three. That would take us to November, December. Right. Oh, my. Here we go again. The holiday season. The Christmas holiday season.

We just talked about it again last week. I know it upsets people, but again, you need to get over it. Okay? We're headed towards an unthinkable scenario where our leaders who are demon-possessed, I'm telling you right now, the Western leaders are driven by demons and they are driving the United States and Europe to a nuclear war with Russia. Russia's holding back.

They're doing everything they can not to go down this road, but the Western leaders are hell-bent on hell. That's all I can say. They're hell-bent on going to hell. And they want to take a lot of people with them. And this is the most frightening, bizarre scenario I think any of us could ever imagine. But this is what the last days look like.

Yes, what did you think? What did you think the last days were going to look like? Oh, I know what a lot of people thought. A secret rapture. They'd be out of here. They wouldn't face any of these things. But you're here. The John Nelson Darby Cyrus Schofield rapture didn't happen, and it ain't going to happen.

You're going to be here until Christ comes back, and he's coming back one time. And he comes back because the Father in heaven cuts the days short, because if he doesn't cut the days short, no flesh would survive. That's what I'm trying to present to you here. We're headed towards the day when no flesh survives. So, the Biden administration, according to Reuters, is getting close to giving

Zelensky the penis piano playing comic missiles to hit a nuclear armed power. Right. What's the worst that could happen, Rick?

Who? If you wanted to come up with a really sadistic, bizarre, dystopian thriller movie, you would put a penis piano playing comic in power who challenges a nuclear arm power and big countries give him the missiles to attack that nuclear-armed power. If you wanted to come up with a really crazy movie, that's what you would do.

Yeah, it is dystopian. That's for sure. This is the most bizarre reality. I was like, is this reality? Are we really in this thing? Yes, we are. We are arming a comic yes to attack nuclear armed russia and the joke is going to be on us and it's going to be a really bad joke according to reuters

the inclusion of joint air to surface standoff, I guess they're pronounced, is it JASM, in a weapon package is expected to be announced this autumn, three sources said, though a final decision has not been made. It's been made. Of course it's been made. The sources declined to be named because they are not authorized to discuss the topic. But they are authorized to leak the topic. But they're authorized to leak it. I'm going to discuss the topic. But they are authorized to leak the topic. But they're authorized to leak it.

I'm going to leak something else. By the time this becomes reality, Joe Biden will not be in the White House. Kamala Harris will be the president. You want to talk about a really strange movie? One way or the other. The movie is going to get really weird by October. Military analysts have suggested the introduction of the JASMs,

which are stealthy and can strike further than most other missiles and could push Russian staging areas and supply depots back by hundreds of miles. Launching them from points near Ukraine's border with Russia could allow them to hit military installations as far away as Russian cities of, what is this, Voronze? Voronze? Voronze. And Bryansk. Bryansk. You're better at Russian than I am. In the south, dropping them near the front lines could enable strikes on airfields or naval facilities in Crimea. Bottom line, the Biden administration, the Pentagon is saying if we give Zelensky permission to use these American JASMs, these joint air-to-surface standoff missiles. Russia will have to abandon their military bases that are closer to the Ukraine border.

Literally abandon them. That's the reasoning here. Yes. Abandon any critical target and pull back deeper in Russia, which then makes it more difficult and costly for Russia to advance on Ukraine. That's the plan here. And according to Reuters, the decision is going to come this autumn. Well, we're just weeks away from fall. Well, I think the decision's been made.

This is the trial balloon to test the response out there with everybody. Of course it is. They're prepping everybody's minds for a nuclear disaster. And they're gambling with your life, with your children, with your grandchildren. They're gambling with our lives that Putin won't do anything. That's the strategy, that they can just keep going deeper into Russia to the point that they're hitting Moscow and the Russian government collapses. That's the plan. The Russian military establishment will never let that happen.

Of course not. They have said, if there's no Russia, what's the point in having a world? You all burn down, okay? But you go ahead and you keep electing these freaks. Just keep electing them. Just keep voting for these warmongers, okay? Because they're taking us to Armageddon. Now, Newsweek reporting, NATO chiefs back Ukraine's invasion of Russia. Yen Stoltenberg said NATO stands with Ukraine. Although we're not part of the war. We're not, you know, we're not in the war.

Our member nations are providing you the ammunition, the missiles, and F-16. NATO is neutral, according to Jens Stoltenberg. We're not in the war. We're neutral. But we do offer our moral support to Zelensky and Ukraine for invading Russia. We're quite impressed. It's something we've dreamed about. We never thought we'd see it. And it's actually happening in 2024. Now, he didn't say all those

words. He just said, we support them. Well, let's see how far this is going. Financial Times, London. Rothschild-owned newspaper, folks. The Financial Times is owned by the Rothschild family. Poland has duty to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine, says its prime minister. Right. Poland and other countries bordering Ukraine have a duty to shoot down incoming Russian missiles before they enter their airspace, despite the opposition of NATO, the Polish foreign minister said. Radoslaw Sikorski told the Financial Times in an interview that Warsaw had an obligation to ensure the safety of its citizens, irrespective of fears that interceptions over Ukrainian

territory could embroil the Atlantic alliance in Russia's war against Ukraine. He said, membership in NATO does not trump each country's responsibility for the protection of its own airspace. It's our own constitutional duty, Sikorsky said. I'm personally of the view that when hostile missiles are on course of entering our airspace, it would be legitimate self-defense to strike them because once they do cross into our airspace, the risk of debris injuring someone is significant. But it's really not all about that. They're really not talking about missiles heading toward them. They're talking about Russian missiles heading

toward Ukraine. Now they've given themselves, they can sleep better at night knowing that they can now strike these missiles over Ukraine because they might come our way. Yes. Okay. So if you compare this to the Iranian attack on Israel months ago. Right. When Iranian missiles crossed over Jordanian airspace, Jordan's military shot them down.

Right. They said, hey, these are missiles. They're over our airspace. We don't know where they're going. We don't care. They hey, these are missiles. They're over our airspace. We don't know where they're going. We don't care. They're in our airspace. They're in our airspace. We're going to shoot them down.

Okay. But they were over Jordanian airspace. Right. They didn't shoot them down when they were, you know, coming across Iraq or anything else. What Poland is saying is we're not waiting until they get into our airspace. If they enter Ukrainian airspace, they're saying once we see them in

Russian airspace and we estimate their trajectory, we're going to shoot them down over Ukraine. It's really about Poland entering the war. And to have a a seated and a negotiating table at the end of the game because they want western ukraine absolutely

and most likely they're going to get it yeah all right so uh but what we're seeing here is i said earlier uh the the prime minister, the foreign minister, the Polish foreign minister, saying that his country has a duty, an obligation to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukrainian airspace. Where do you think that's going to go? What would be the possible outcome of Poland shooting down Russian missiles that have not entered Polish airspace. You're going to have a direct confrontation with Russia at that point.

And Poland is a member of what club? What club does Poland belong to? The NATO club. And so when Russia responds to Poland, you then have Article 5 and you now have a NATO war. One way

or the other, these lunatics are determined to get a nuclear, biological, chemical, scalar, laser, robotic war going. You're going to get all of them.

You're going to get all of them. You're going to get all of them. Robots, everything. It's all coming in this next war. There are weapons you haven't even imagined, haven't even been in the sci-fi movies yet. They're all going to come out in this war. You haven't seen anything yet.

They're determined to set this loose on mankind. Who is really determined? Lucifer? Yes. To kill humans. If a billion humans die, that's a billion humans that cannot be saved through faith in Jesus Christ.

It's as simple as that. That's the only reason for the war. There's no other reason, Doc. You can boil it down to that bare fact. Satan wants to kill massive numbers of humans so their souls can't be saved. That's right, Rick. The real war is between God and Satan. That's the real war. And there's coming a day that God will end the conflict once and for all.

And Satan will be pushed into the lake of fire. Jesus Christ will kill death. I don't know how you do that. I don't know how you do that. How do you kill death? He's going to kill death. Just imagine that day. Jesus looks at death and said, you're dead.

And he dies. No more death. Somehow Jesus kills death. But Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. And that's what this war is about. To kill, to steal, to destroy. To kill human bodies. To steal their eternity.

And to destroy human civilization. Forget about politics, forget about anything that you think is going to change the situation. We are on a fast track to the second coming of Jesus Christ, but before we get there, there has to be an Antichrist. See, the American evangelical churches have taught the Christians for the past hundred years that they're going to be secretly raptured out before Antichrist appears. But Paul tells us there's two things that have to happen before Christ appears,

a falling away in apostasy and the son of perdition. But the rapturers say, no, we're taken out. We leave. No, it's not that way. It doesn't happen. And if you've not read my book, Final Day, I encourage you, you can get it on Amazon, Final Day. It lays out in very clear detail what I believe will come down on that day. I've said many times, Final Day is not an end time book.

It's not a prophecy book. It is a book about the final day, what happens on the last day. There is a last day. There's a last day. When beyond that point, there are no more days. None. There's only eternity with Christ. But as far as man's time on earth,

there is a day, there will be a day when the sun comes up and that is the last day the sun appears. You know why? Because when Christ comes back, the sun is darkened. The moon is darkened. The stars fall from the sky.

On one day, not stretched out over a thousand years, The moon is darkened. The stars fall from the sky. On one day, not stretched out over a thousand years, on one day, he shuts it down. Done. He's finished wrapping it up, rolling it up. He rolls up the universe like a scroll to do what? Toss it away. He's done with it. Doesn't need it anymore.

Read Final Day. It'll change your perspective of the second coming. So we've got this. We've got the Polish foreign minister saying we're going to shoot down missiles. NATO now, how do they respond, Doc? Jens Stoltenberg is not, right now, on the surface, doesn't appear to be too excited about this idea. Right. On the surface. I think only because it jumps the schedule ahead.

That's the only reason why. This is a story from RT responding to a Polish foreign minister. NATO warns members against shooting down Russian missiles. No, no, no. Don't do it. Don't do that. Don't, don't. No, guys, come on.

Don't shoot down Russian missiles yet. I've crossed my fingers. Not yet. Not yet. Not until we wink. When we wink, you can shoot them down. So RT is reporting that NATO does not want to become directly involved in a conflict with Moscow. The U.S.-led bloc's spokesperson said on Monday, addressing demands from Ukraine and

statements by Poland's foreign minister, Kiev has repeatedly asked its Western backers to shoot down Russian missiles and drones in its airspace as its own air defenses became degraded. A security pact to that effect was signed with Warsaw in July. Quote, NATO is not a party to the conflict and will not become a party to it, a spokesperson for the bloc told the Spanish news agency Europa Press, adding that the bloc's responsibility is to prevent escalation. And while each member of the bloc has the right to protect their own airspace, they should closely consult with others when doing so, so they can affect NATO as a whole, the

spokesperson said. So what would happen if Poland did act independently and did shoot down Ukrainian missiles? NATO's not going to do anything to them, Rick. No. No. They're not going to read them. NATO's not even going to send them a strongly worded memo. No.

Because they're wanting someone to enter this. It's just a question of when. Yes. And I would say the when is this fall. It's coming in this fall, Doc. I mean, the things are lining up for this fall. It's coming in this fall, Doc. I mean, the things are lining up for this fall. By the way, fall is only three weeks away. Yes.

So just keep that in mind, folks. We're moving very rapidly towards a red-hot Christmas. Test News Agency. What would make the Russians do this?

Russia to change nuclear doctrine upon examination of West's actions. Well, isn't that kind of like being overdramatic? I mean, the Russians are going to, well, since you guys are talking about expanding the range of the missiles coming into our country, and since you guys are talking about shooting down our missiles we're using against Ukraine, you know, we're going to revise our nuclear war doctrine. Aren't they kind of like taking it to an extreme, Doc? I mean, obviously I'm being sarcastic. What do you think the Russians are going to do?

Yes. What they're saying is we're changing our legal policies to allow us to crush you. They're going to do it legally. Yes. According to their laws. But it'll be done legally. They're making a change in their doctrine because they see where this is headed. And they're saying our present nuclear doctrine is out of date.

It doesn't fit the current circumstances. We have to adjust the policy to reflect the current realities. And the current realities is that they plan to take out Russia. They're going to crush us. And it's coming really fast. Well, this article from TASS says that Russia will change its nuclear doctrine based on the analysis of the latest conflicts and the West's actions in regards to its special military operation, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the outlet, said, as we have repeatedly said before, the work is in the advanced stage, and there is a clear intent to introduce a correction to the nuclear doctrine caused, among other things, by the

examination and analysis of development of recent conflicts, including, of course, everything connected to our Western adversaries' escalation course in regards to the special military operations, the defense minister said. And so the Russians right now are giving the West the opportunity to make their own corrections if they want to at this point, because we know where the correction of the nuclear doctrine is going, Rick. They're going to open up the possibility to use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield. Oh, I think it goes beyond that. I think this goes way beyond tactical nukes. This is allowing a first strike.

Oh, absolutely. They're going to authorize their president and their military leaders to carry out a first strike because they're threatened. Everybody knows there are three

tenses of time. There's past, present, future. And individually, some people live in the past right they just relive the past they either good or bad and can't escape it either they can't escape it sometimes they just relive over and over and over and over the bad things that happen or they've kind of checked out and gone back to the past when times were happier. There are other people who live in the present. They have no awareness of the past, no concept of the future.

They just live day to day. They're just alive now. Whatever happens, that's what it is. And other people live in the future. They're always looking forward to something happening in the future and they don't do anything about today right to change your future and they don't learn from the past they don't learn from the past so it's important that we all have a balanced perception of time and that means you you the past. You have some understanding, some education of history.

Where we came from. What has happened in the past? What caused certain things to happen? Those things that happened in the past created what we have today in the present. Correct. What happened in the past created what we have today in the present. See, today is a sum of actions taken previously. And tomorrow will be the sum of things happening today over time. Right. Okay.

So, with that said, today's September 3rd. So September 1st was the anniversary of the start of World War II. Most people, again, Americans, you ask Americans, when did World War II start? If they know history, they're going to say, well, December 7th, 1941. No, it's wrong. World War II was already underway. That's right. That's the day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

And we go into deep discussion about why Japan attacked because of the sanctions the U.S. put on Japan, provoking Japan to attack. That's exactly what Franklin Roosevelt did Japan, provoking Japan to attack. That's exactly what Franklin Roosevelt did. He provoked Japan to attack. Why? Because the American warmongers wanted in the war. And the British warmongers wanted America, they wanted American men in the war. America was neutral in the war. We were standing out of it.

Europe was, it was a European war. But the ruling class of Britain and Europe, parts of Europe and Great Britain and the United States, they wanted the United States in the war. They needed the American men. They needed the American weapons. They needed American blood. And so they had to come up with a way to get America into the war. So they

provoked Japan through economic sanctions. Japan responded by bombing Pearl Harbor. That was it, baby. We're off to the races now. Anybody opposed? If you opposed going to war with Japan, you were a traitor. But not only did we enter the war with Japan, we entered the war with Germany, too.

We went all the way in because now we're into this thing. So World War II started on September 1st, 1939. I want to show you a newspaper headline. There is the Los Angeles Times. Look at that. War. German troops invade Poland. Nazis bomb Warsaw.

Look to the left under war. British mobilize army and fleet. To the right, fighting rages along border uh the one two uh under the exclamation mark polls what I can't read that spurn Berlin terms troops move troops move Poland We're talking Poland. Okay, German troops invade Poland. Nazis bomb Warsaw. That's 1939, September 1st, 1939. But even at that time, war was far away. War was, that's in Europe.

Yeah, the people, the Los Angeles citizens, they got that 9 a.m. edition. They looked at those headlines and said, oh my, that's horrible. Oh my, this war has – the Germans have invaded Poland. That's going to be really bad over there. Again, September 1st, 1939. Then we go to September 17. Here's the Chicago Sunday Tribune. The Reds invade Poland. Who are the reds the soviets yes now you see there to the right russians cross border to protect minorities

does that sound familiar sounds like ukraine isn't that why russia crossed the ukrainian border to protect russian minorities in Ukraine? Right. Do you see how history repeats itself? But, Doc, here's the historical question. The Soviet Union was an ally. Became an ally, yes. But they invaded Poland

on the side of Germany, the Nazis, in 1939. That doesn't make sense. Here's what happened. In August of 1939, Germany, the Nazi German government,

signed a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union. Yes. Joseph Stalin. Nazi Germany agreed we will not attack Russia. Russia agreed we will not attack Germany. Right. Now, on the surface, that made international news. Germany and the Soviet Union agreed not to attack each other.

But what world leaders did not know is that there was a secret addendum to that agreement. Germany and the Soviet Union secretly agreed to invade Poland and divide it up. Yes. So on September 1st, 1939, the German Nazis went in first. On September 17, 16 days later, the Soviets went into Poland. The world is going, what is going on? They didn't know about the secret deal that Germany and the Soviet Union had agreed secretly to divide up Poland. Right.

And that part of Poland, Rick, what was it? It's now today's western Ukraine. Yes. Because boundaries got changed after World War II. That's right. And Poland came back. And Ukraine was created. And Ukraine was, Khrushchev gave away Ukraine. Okay?

Because it was Soviet territory. It was Russian territory. Crimea and all that. So, I'm telling you all that. I'm going to show you, this is a, I love watching old newsreel videos. This is a newsreel of Germany invading Poland, 1939. We're only going to show you about a minute. Let's watch.

Poland, September 1939. The German foe begins its ruthless march of conquest and sets the stage for World War II. Poland's 34 million inhabitants, crushed, scattered and enslaved. Tens of thousands of square miles of territory shrink before the movement of lightning-armored columns. Poland and the world learn the meaning of a grim new word, Blitzkrieg. Here is shown the initiation of that phase of modern warfare. These pictures of the preparation for attack

and later the actual combat were all made by German front-line cameramen. Therefore, they stressed Nazi superiority. Success is unimpeded as Hitler's divisions move against outnumbered Polish defenders. Later, on other world battlefronts, the Allies are to destroy the myth of the invincibility of the Nazi armies. But this is Hitler at the peak of his armed might, and the record of a nation

overrun in just days is of million people overrun in days. Days. Within days. And World War II was on. So I'm showing this to you to help you absorb the events that are taking place right now in the world in relation to Ukraine and Russia. I am firmly convinced that World War III started February, I think, 24th, 2022. Right. When Russia invaded Ukraine to protect Russian minorities.

It's a repeat of World War II. Yes. Okay. The difference now is that the West have become the Nazis. Yes. When World War II was over, the OSS, which later became the CIA, transferred tens of thousands of high-ranking Nazis to America. A lot of them went to Canada.

I don't know what other Western states got Nazis. And then we put lower-ranking Nazis in power of the new German government. Germany was split in half. Russia, Soviet Union got East Germany. The West got West Germany. And the West put Nazis in the new German government because they knew how to keep the electricity running, the phones, the trains. But we took the best Nazis. We took the smartest Nazis. We took the ones that knew how to take over a country in years.

Canada got a lot of the Ukrainian Nazis. That's true. And they still give them standing ovations in the parliament. And parades. Yes, and parades. So the West became Nazified. I've said many times, Germany was defeated, but the Nazis were not. The Nazis won because the Nazis conquered the West.

There was a merger. And now the West is acting like Nazis. And the Russians are saying, wow, we're living this all over again. I want to go on. Doc, Turkey. Let's see. Turkey is, which side is Turkey on? Supposed to be on the side of NATO, for one.

They're members of NATO, right? Supposed to be allies. I mean, we have Air Force Base there, right? Well, look at this NBC. This is a really shocking story. Two U.S. Marines assaulted in Turkey by nationalist mob chanting, Yankee, go home. It says two U.S. Marines, this again, NBC News, two U.S. Marines were assaulted by a group of young nationalists in Turkey on Monday, officials in both countries said, with one attacker placing

a bag over the head of one U.S. service member. The dramatic incident in the western port city of Izmir was captured on video. It shows the moment two Marines surrounded by a group of 15 people in a commercial area were chanting, Yankee, go home. The group then restrained one Marine before one of them places a bag over his head. Moments later, another man can be seen charging the group. None of the service members are in uniform. The Marines unit is on routine deployment with the U.S. Navy's WASP Amphibious Readiness Group. Local authorities later identified the group as members of the Turkish Youth Union, which is affiliated with the Patriotic Party, a small nationalist political party without parliament seats.

I'm already suspicious, but then again. Well, I mean, we got a video. Let's look at the video first, and then we'll talk about it. So this is scenes from the crowd that's assembled here, and they've grabbed apparently a couple of Marines. And the Americans asking for help. Here is where they're putting a bag over one of the Marines' heads. They're hollering, Yankee, go home.

And this is on just a regular street in Turkey. So, Rick, what's going on here? Sadly, those two U.S. Marines were the brunt of anger directed at American foreign policy, because American foreign policy and military policy is supplying the weapons and the money to Israel to kill thousands of Palestinian children. Yes. And so people are furious with it. They're not like here in the United States, where people are either supportive of the policy or ambivalent.

In other countries, people are furious, and they see the United States as the enabler of Israel to kill tens of thousands of children and women and young and old people. A genocide has been underway since last fall. And so now the anger is starting to erupt. And it's going to become uncomfortable, even dangerous to be an American in foreign countries. But this is a NATO country. Yes. Imagine what they would say in a non-NATO country.

What is the anger level in non-NATO countries, Doc? Look, you want to end this kind of animosity towards America? Then decouple American foreign policy from Israel. Yes. It's just that simple. Cut off the cord between the United States and Israel. I mean, if God, I'll put it to the test, if God established the state of Israel.

He'll defend it. Yeah, God can defend it. He doesn't need America. Right? That's right. I mean, if you're going to follow the logic here. The Israel of the Old Testament, it was Almighty God who came to their defense.

Right. Not NATO, not the United States. So if God is behind this thing in Palestine called Israel, then God will defend it. I don't think God is responsible for it. I think the whole thing is. But somehow we become responsible for it. We become responsible for it. We, as Americans, are reaping the animosity, the hatred of many people around the world because you can't separate Israel and the United States. Siamese twins.

They're very sad. So Vladimir Putin went to Mongolia. Well, what's the big deal about that? Why is that a story? Because there is an international criminal court warrant for his arrest for invading Ukraine. And so when it was announced that he was going to Mongolia, there were demands that Mongolia arrest Vladimir Putin. He didn't get arrested. In fact, he got a red carpet welcome.

That's right. So let's take a look at this. So President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Mongolia for a controversial visit with international calls for Ulaanbaatar to arrest the Russian leader on his first trip to a member state of the International Criminal Court since the Hague-based court issued an arrest warrant for him last year. Mr. Putin has been sought by the intergovernmental ICC for 18 months over the illegal deportation and transfer of children from occupied parts of Ukraine to Russia since President Putin ordered the full-scale invasion of its neighbor in February of 2022.

This is Radio Free Europe reporting this, by the way. Mongolian officials rolled out the red carpet in honor guard for Putin at Ulaanbaatar's international airport as he arrived overnight from the Russian region of Tuva. We have some video here where you can see President Putin arriving. He doesn't seem concerned at all. And he also didn't stumble. He didn't fall down the steps like Joe Biden. That's right.

Look at that. He can actually walk down steps. And he received the highest welcome as he arrived at the airport there in Mongolia. We also have this combined report from DW in Germany and also RT giving us a little bit of an update on how President Putin was received in Mongolia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been welcomed in Mongolia at the start of a two-day visit despite an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court. Under international law, Mongolia and other countries are required to arrest the Russian leader to face charges of war crimes in Ukraine. But the court doesn't have a mechanism to enforce its warrants.

Military band playing the Russian national anthem. So several cabinet members of the President Putin also in attendance. So, Doc, once again, I ask the question, why are we Americans supposed to hate the Russians? Because they're the enemy of the day right now. Why are they the enemy? I don't get it. I don't understand it. I don't hate the Russians.

I don't hate the Chinese. I don't hate the Israelis. I don't hate anybody. Well, Rick, they're trying to steal your freedom. They're trying to steal your democracy. No, the people trying to steal my freedom are inside the USA. I've never had a Russian try to censor me. I've been censored by Americans.

I've been deplatformed. Not by Chinese communists. But by Americans. It's Americans who are stealing my freedom. Why am I supposed to hate the Russians? Why can't we be friends? Because warmongers want to make trillions of dollars.

And they need war. So we're told we have to hate the Russians. Why can't we have a foreign policy that gets along with all nations? Why is that so such? Some people would say that's a ridiculous idea. Why? Why is that ridiculous? A policy that says we get along with everybody.

That was George Washington's foreign policy. If it was good enough for old George, why can't we do it? Because there was no money to be made in neutrality. War is an industry. Good business. It is an industry for a very few people. ICC

should be wary of acting on Putin's arrest warrant, says Dmitry Medvedev. He posted on Telegram what he thought should happen. It's got some parts of it that we can't read.

But, Doc, I'll let you run with it. All right. So this is from Dmitry Medvedev here. The Servile European Union expressed its concern to Mongolia over the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Like since you signed the legally null and void statute of the ICC, follow it. The Mongols sent the ICC and the Eurodegenerates in the direction of the Russian-Mongolian conflict that's been known since the 13th century. If I were the judges and prosecutors of this half-baked court, I would be most afraid that

some madman would try to carry out their illegal order. In that case, their lives would be worth no more than this piece of blank paper. So who is he referring to, Doc? The person trying to carry out the order or the judges? I'm not quite sure. Or that someone would actually try to carry it out. Right, but he's saying whose life would be worth less than a piece of crap paper is what he said. Is he saying the judges of the court who issued the arrest warrant or the marshals who tried to carry it out?

Maybe a little bit of both. But the fact that Mongolia didn't do anything in relation to the ICC arrest warrant, in fact, kind of just threw it back and say, we're not going to arrest Putin. In fact, we're rolling out the red carpet for the guy. And we're going to do business. Yeah. And so it's a matter now of, you know, it's like a toothless hound dog. He'll just gum you to death. And that's all the power the ICC has. Yes. But the U.S. has power, and the West has power. This next one is the Hindu business line in India. India weighs Russia's doable proposal in SWIFT alternative. SWIFT, the Western Controlled International Bank Wire System.

India, Doc, is looking at joining a Russian alternative to the SWIFT bank wire system. Yes. The world is done. They're fed up with it. They're looking for a way out. It says, Russia's proposal to India to use its own financial messaging mechanism developed as an alternative to the swift global network to help push ruble trade settlements has been scrutinized by the Indian Central Bank and found to be doable. But discussions continue online.

Now, I'm down to nine minutes. I'm going to skip over a lot of the details of this. The bottom line is, it says, prominent Russian banks have been banned from using the SWIFT system, a network that allows financial institutions to exchange electronic messaging about international transactions, enabling safe payments. It is part of the West's sanction against the country for waging a war against Ukraine. So that's the reason Russia is building an alternative to the swift bank wire system. Now, what possibly could make countries think they should get out of the Western banking system? How about this next article, Wall Street Journal, this morning? Venezuelan strongman's $13 million plane seized and flown to Florida. Doc, the United States of America seized Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's presidential aircraft.

They seized it. Yes. In the Dominican Republic. Right. Not in Venezuela. It was in the Dominican Republic. It wasn't in the United States. It was in Dominican Republic. Right. Not in Venezuela. It was in the Dominican Republic. It wasn't in the United States. It was in another country.

Right. The United States went to another country and seized another country's presidential aircraft and then brought it to the United States. Could this be why countries want to get out of the Western Rothschild-dominated banking system? Could be one of many reasons, Rick. Why aren't we friends with Venezuela? What did Venezuela do to me? How's Venezuela hurt me? I don't like Mr. Maduro's socialism, but it's his country. Right. If that's what they want,

they get it. I just want to be friends. If they want socialism, they get socialism. Let every country do what they want to do, but let's keep our nose out of everybody's business.

That means somebody in the United States is upset about things going on in Venezuela because they're not getting their way. And you know what they're calling Maduro? He's an election denier. The United States said they seized his plane. Folks, we're talking about the Venezuelan Air Force One. Yes. Imagine Joe Biden's Air Force One lands in Canada and China seizes it and takes it to Beijing. That's what we just did. The United States acts like a bully, like a mafia hitman.

We just go around and we do whatever we want to do to other countries, and we dare them to stand up to us. Well, they are quietly standing up to us, quietly. They're organizing a new financial system. And guess what? It's going to leave the United States dollar and the Rothschild banking system gasping for air. So they seized the aircraft into the Dominican Republic, Caribbean country. They took it to Florida.

And it says it's because of the aftermath of the election in which the United States says the Venezuelan election was rigged. Is the U.S. government saying it's possible to rig elections? Everywhere but America. You can't have rigged elections in America, but you can't have them in Venezuela. In fact, they happen all the time. Did they have electronic voting machines in Venezuela? Yes, they did. Don't say a name. We'll be sued. That's right. Don't. No, no, no. I can't say it. We'll be sued. Don't say it. I'm not going to say it. But they do. They did use electronic voting

machines in Venezuela. And now the U.S. government says the election was rigged. Well, how could it be rigged? Are you telling me it's possible to hack electronic voting machines? Except in America. Except in Georgia. Except in Illinois. Except in Arizona. Or Pennsylvania. Wisconsin or Pennsylvania. Everywhere else in the world, electronic voting machines can be hacked. Wall Street Journal. Brazil says its resistance to Elon Musk is a global example. This is so crazy.

Brazilian President Lula said his country has set an example for the rest of the world on how to deal with Elon Musk. Listen to what he said. The world is not obliged to put up with Musk's far-right ideology just because he's rich. Okay, first of all, Elon Musk is not far-right. No. He's anything but far-right. But the mentality that we have today is if you disagree with us we're shutting you down right what lula and his government did is no different than what the u.s did to maduro the u.s sees maduro's jet and venice i mean brazil sees elon musk platform in brazil the brazilian government ordered x formerly twitter to shut down and

elon musk then shut down starlink to its 200 000 customers in brazil and then brazil responded by seizing starlink's bank accounts in brazil who wants to do business with these people? The world is going to divide up into two big groups and nobody will cross the line because it'll be too dangerous. You either get your assets stolen or you'll get your, you know what, blown off. It just will be too dangerous. So, Reuters, Starlink tells Brazil regulator it will not comply with ex-suspension. And then look at this Guardian. Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor under Barack Obama. Was it Barack Obama? Yes, under Obama.

Said, Elon Musk is out of control. Here's how to rein him in. This is his article. Now look, he wrote a book called Saving Capitalism. And how's he going to save capitalism? He's going to arrest capitalists. Yes. Robert Reich, former member of the Obama cabinet, outlined six things that people could do to reign in and control Elon Musk. I want to get down to the one where he said, you know, if none of this works, we just arrest him. 19E.

19? Yes. 19E? Yes. 19E? Yes. Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn't stop disseminating lies and hate on X. You know what that means? If he doesn't shut down people who disagree with the official narrative, including Zionism, then governments

around the world need to arrest Elon Musk. Just like he goes on to say, he says, global regulators may be on the way to doing this as evidenced by the August 24 arrest in France of Pavel Durov. Of Telegram, yes. This is the new normal. You mess with us, we arrest you. We don't care if you're a billionaire, we arrest you. We don't care if you're the president of a country,

we take your jet. That's the attitude of the West. That's how powerful words are. And the West is going to crumble because of this attitude. It will not be sustained. It can't be because the world will eventually unite against it. And we're seeing here, I'll show you one more, NBC News, German far-right party wins state elections for the first time since the Nazis. Look at that little propaganda. That's the AFD party. Well, the Nazis were not far right.

They were the National Socialist German Workers Party. They were far left. Yes. But the far left in Germany that's in control is saying, if the conservatives win, we have to shut them down. And call them Nazis. And call them Nazis. And call them Nazis. Folks, freedom is dying.

Visit our website and become prepared today. Good morning. Welcome to Morning Manna. We are studying the gospel according to St. Matthew, and we're in the 21st chapter today.

We're studying verses 28 to 32. Let's pray. Dear, gracious, wonderful Heavenly Father, Father, we come to you in the name of Jesus. We thank you for life and we thank you for the promise of eternal life through faith in your name

and your son Father in the name of your son Jesus Christ Father I speak a blessing upon every member of this class the brothers and sisters who gather in Morning Manor, Father, I pray for a blessing from heaven to be upon them today.

Father, that you would make your presence known to them, that they would feel your presence, that you would solve their problems and answer their prayers and deliver them from their predicaments, Father. And whatever their need is, Father, I ask, Father, that you intervene today in the lives of every member of this Morning Man of Bible class. Father, they are setting aside an hour to study your word.

We ask you to set aside a second to answer their prayers. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. And we continue our journey in Matthew chapter 21 today, picking back up at verse 28 with the parable of the two sons. And so if you've got your Bibles, read along with me. Verse 28, But what thinking! A certain man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not.

But afterward he repented and he went. And he came to the second and said, Likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir, and went not. Whither of them, Twain, did the will of his father? They say unto him the first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I

say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not but the publicans and the harlots believed him and ye when ye had seen it repented not afterward that ye might believe him amen so verse 28 but what think ye a certain man had two, and he came to the first and said, son, go work today in my vineyard.

So beginning with verse 28, Jesus introduced a parable to the Jewish rulers. And he started by asking them a question the king james version is but what think ye to paraphrase jesus he said gentlemen i'm going to tell you a story and i want to know what you think about it Tell me your opinion of the meaning of this story. It starts with a certain man. The certain man is Almighty God, God the Father. This certain man had two sons. The two young men were the father's rightful sons.

Both were the father's offspring. They were not slaves, nor servants, nor hired hands. They were not men who had been adopted when they were children. They were sons in the context of when Jesus spoke the parable the two sons represented two distinct groups among the Jewish people the religious leaders the scribes the Pharisees, the Pharisees, and so forth, and the sinners, the publicans, the harlots, and so forth. Both groups were considered sons of God in the sense of being part of the chosen people of Israel at that time. In the broader context, the two sons symbolize two groups in the world.

Sinners who initially refused to do God's will but later repent, and self-righteous religious people who profess to obey God but do not both groups are sons of God God cares for all of his children Jesus said in this parable and he came to the first so the father approached the first son. Some people say this is the elder son. We don't know. He's the first son. That may indicate he's the elder one, the older.

So notice it was the father who took the initiative. And he came to the first the father went to the son with an instruction and said son so the father called him son he addressed this young man by his rightful relationship to him, father and son. The father had an affectionate bond with his son. Go work. The father gave his son an instruction. The father had a right to give his son the instruction both both brothers lived on the family estate both had a duty to perform

whatever work was necessary for the prosperity of their family estate. Both men were the offspring of their father, and they were obligated to honor their father. They should have found it rewarding to serve their kind, generous father. Because respectful obedience is one of the supreme ways to honor your parents. The instruction was to work, to exert effort, to help their father

produce a harvest in his vineyard. Today. Yes. in his vineyard today yes let's go back and read what it says today in my vineyard son go work today in my vineyard the time to work is now. The present. The father's timing was not set to Caribbean time, where everything seems to be tomorrow. Today, not tomorrow. Today, not mañana. This day, not another day today means now so the term today emphasizes the urgency of responding to god's call immediately the father gave this first son an instruction to go work in the vineyard today, meaning get up and go right now. And then the father said, where to work? In my vineyard.

Yes. The place for work was specific. In the vineyard. The instruction was not generic, but confined to one vineyard, the father's vineyard. He said, work in my vineyard they were the son was not sent to work in his friends vineyard nor his neighbor's vineyard? It symbolizes God's true religion, the realm of spiritual duty for every man, woman, and child.

The request to work in his vineyard symbolizes God's call to obedience and service. The vineyard today is the kingdom of God, the gospel church. Working in the vineyard represents embracing the teachings of Jesus Christ, believing in him, obeying his commands, sharing his gospel. It is the place God prepared for his children to find purpose in their lives. Right. The work in the vineyard symbolizes the work God requires of all humanity, which includes obedience, service to him, and service to fellow humans. The vineyard is also the inheritance that the sons would receive, too.

That's right. And so don't miss that opportunity there. I mean, both sons have the opportunity for an inheritance here. And that comes out in the next parable we're going to study. So the father's invitation to work in the vineyard was not a gruff command, but it was an instruction that was delivered with tenderness, reasonableness, and urgency. He said to his son, this is our vineyard.

You're my son. What I have is yours. I want you to work in my vineyard it will be your inheritance so the first son's response well let's get the verse 29 he answered and said I will not but afterward he repented and went so the first son promptly responded but it was not to his father's request to work in the vineyard with a blunt and disrespectful refusal it was prompt and it was blunt. And it was disrespectful. His declaration of I will not. Represents the bold defiance of those who openly reject God's commandments and ways. And disregard their father's sincere and rightful request yes

see the father has the right to ask you and me to work in his vineyard we're living on his planet this is his planet it's not mother earth it's the Father's vineyard. Yes. Don't use that term, Mother's Earth. It's the Father's vineyard. Not my mama. Not my mama. So the son's response was rude.

And he didn't make any attempt to justify or excuse his disobedience. He just said, I'm not going to do it. Anybody ever had a son or a grandson say, I'm not going to do it? I mean, that's part of life isn't it at some time all of us as teenagers probably said something like that so the response we reflected the attitude of someone who was selfishly focused on his own desires and not his family obligations. So the son's refusal to work in the vineyard symbolizes the attitude of careless and reckless sinners who openly resist God's commandments the rudeness of the sons answer and the

absence of any effort to make excuses is a reflection of the character of those who defy God to his face. So it reflects the behavior of men and women who persistently reject God's authority and refuse to follow his will. And you have people like that in the church claiming to be Christians. Yeah, you really do. How do I know if you are in the kingdom? By your obedience to the king. Yes. If you're not obedient

to the king, you're not in his kingdom. You're a trespasser. If you love me, keep my commandments. Yes. There are trespassers in the church.

They're illegal immigrants in the church. I mean, we have tens of millions of illegal immigrants in the United States. They're not citizens. They are illegal. And they have no citizenship rights. There are people in the church who are not citizens of the kingdom. They cross the border illegally. And in another parable, the parable of the wedding garments,

tells you what will happen to those people. The king will say, how did you get in here? Who opened the door and allowed you to come in? I can tell by the way you're dressed. You're not one of us. Why? They weren't wearing the garments of righteousness. So the application of this parable at the time at the time jesus spoke it was directed toward the jewish rulers who pretended to serve god

but defiantly never obeyed right now keep in mind too that this parable is being addressed immediately after that question of authority that we talked about last friday uh jesus you know the interchange between the uh uh chief priests and the elders jesus they challenged him on uh his authority on jesus's authority and then uh he questioned them back i'm not gonna tell you my authority because you wouldn't answer my question about John the Baptist right so this goes it fits right into this so this is uh you know Bibles uh divide up chapters and verses and everything but this is all part of one long discourse here you know he went immediately but I won't tell you the authority i do it and then he

goes uh but what think he and he's he's answering the question more fully at this point with this parable that's right so on the first son does not represent the religious leaders that he's he's he's talking to right it represents the sinners that they despise yes so this parable is a warning to all rebels who refuse to obey god's commandments because there are severe consequences of unrepentant disobedience by rebellious men and women who refuse to acknowledge and change their sinful behavior and speech so those who persist in denying god's invitation are not safe they are facing spiritual peril. Those who reject God's invitation risk missing out on his blessings and facing the consequences of their disobedience. But here's the good part of this parable.

But afterward, he repented. Praise God. good part of this parable but afterward he repented praise god the first part of the sentence the son is defiant he's a rebel he's disrespectful he's rude i will not but afterward he repented the first son experienced a change of heart now notice the repentant son did not offer his father a verbal apology he did something better he promptly obeyed his father's instruction, which immensely pleased his father, who forgot about his son's initial rebellion and disobedience. Right.

Because, you know, you can have people who say, I repent, but really what it means is I'm feeling really rotten about it, and I'm going to express it to you right now. I'm feeling really rotten about it. And I'm going to express it to you right now. I've got a lot of guilt. But they still don't change their behavior. They still don't obey. That's not repentance.

That's not repentance. Repentance means a change of mind, a change of the way of thinking, which leads to a change in your actions, your behavior. Repentance doesn't mean saying you're sorry for doing something. It says you are fully aware of the wrongfulness of your behavior and you're changing the way you think and behave so this first son didn't have to go to the father and express a verbal apology

he apologized by obeying his father's command and when his father saw him in the field working, the father knew he had repented. Yes. The father was pleased by simply looking out the window of his house and seeing his son in the vineyard working. And the father said to himself, I knew he would change his mind.

He's a good young man. So this change of mind symbolizes the repentance and obedience of the tax collectors, the sinners, the harlots, who initially rejected god's call but later responded to the preaching of john the baptist and jesus so jesus is speaking to the phar Pharisees and the scribes, and he's saying,

you look down your nose at all these people that follow John the Baptist and that are now following me, but they're actually obedient, and you're disobedient. They originally, initially said, I will not obey God. But they repented.

They changed. But you said, I will obey God, and you never did it. Doc, some Bible scholars make a point out of that there are two different words used for repent. And I can't say that I have enough knowledge and clarification to talk intelligently about it. But the word used in verse 29 for repent is not used elsewhere in the new testament there's a similar greek word very close to it that's used throughout the new testament to denote true repentance so from what i can that the distinction between the two words suggests that the Greek word used in verse 29 may refer more to regrets over

the consequences of his actions whereas the second Greek word implies genuine repentance and sorrow so both words both Greek words very similar in spelling and pronunciation involve a change of mind and behavior but the second word includes a profound transformation of the heart which is associated with salvation and forgiveness of sins regardless what it says is actions speak louder than words yes it's better to perform good deeds even if they come after refusing to do the good deeds, rather than not doing them at all. Actions that align with God's will, even if they come later,

are more valuable than empty professions of faith. Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians chapter 7, he speaks of godly sorrow that leads to repentance unto salvation. So the repentance in verse 29, to me, Doc, seems like the first stage of turning back to God. Right. You repent, but then you have to go to work. And that's the very next line. And went. Despite his initial refusal, the son experienced a change of heart

and went to work in the vineyard. So this turnaround demonstrates the power of repentance, where even the most rebellious individuals can undergo a change and become obedient servants of the Lord. It also speaks of the power of God's grace. God's grace to an unrepentant sinner leads them to repentance. The goodness of God will lead people to repentance so those who truly repent experience a spiritual renewal and they are enabled by grace to

joyfully enter the Lord's vineyard which represents obedience to God's will, active participation in His kingdom. Repentance is characterized by diligent obedience to God's word, a glad reception of his teachings, and a sincere commitment to live in accordance with his commandments. But all this takes place because of God's grace, which enables sinners to repent and to bring them into this spiritual renewal none of us would be saved had God not extended grace to us you're incapable of of saving yourself you're incapable of finding God still you know we hear this all the time.

People say, well, I found God. No, you didn't find God. You're incapable of finding God. He found you. He wasn't lost. You were lost. His grace enabled you and me

to come to Him. So the first son who initially refused to work in the vineyard and then repented and changed and went to work represents the attitude of the publicans and sinners and harlots who openly rejected god's commandments at that time in israel but they heard the preaching of john the baptist they heard the preaching of jesus christ they saw the miracles and they repented and said yes we will obey we will go to work in your vineyard right so this is where jesus ties it into his previous conversation with the chief priests and elders saying you know harlots and publicans went out and heard john the baptist those that

were in sin had defied god but they heard john the Baptist, they repented. They were baptized and lived for the Father after that. And then he's contrasting that to the Pharisees and the chief priests and everything that went out to see John the Baptist and did nothing. That's right. So we go to verse 30. And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir, and went not. The second son is approached by the father. And he replied, I go, sir.

I go, sir. It's an expression of respect. Yes. Now think about that. The first son was actually rude in his response. Yes. But the second son, he's very formal i go he's smooth oh yeah which which son do you think is the the obedient son the one who says yes sir i go on the surface the second son seemed like the obedient son. So the second son symbolizes the Pharisees who were known for their meticulous adherence to rituals and observances while neglecting the more important aspects of righteousness. The emphasis placed on I in the second son's response to me indicates a self-righteous attitude. I go.

Yes, Father, I go. I go, sir. So the second son's professed willingness and readiness to comply with his father's command indicated a zeal for the law and a commitment to religious obedience. But despite the promise to go, the second son did not go. It was only verbal. He expressed his willingness to obey but never obeyed he failed to follow through with action which revealed his hypocrisy what is a hypocrite an actor a hypocrite? An actor.

A hypocrite is an actor who plays a part to make somebody believe that he or she is somebody that they're not. The Pharisees were actors. They were hypocrites. They played a part to make people believe that they were somebody that they were not. They wanted the Jews to believe that they were righteous and obeyed God. And the rest of the people were unrighteous and disobeyed God. But the truth is, they were just as disobedient as the drunkards and the prostitutes they just smelled better you know they could they could afford the high price cologne and perfume. They had nice clothes.

But they were still filthy sinners in the eyes of God. So the message conveyed to the second son is similar to that given to the first son. Go to work in the vineyard. Calling them to embrace the gospel, to affirm its truths, to labor for the advancement of Messiah's kingdom. This is the message Jesus is directing to the Pharisees and the scribes. They were not excused from embracing the gospel. Right. And they are not excused from embracing the gospel.

Right. And they are not excused today. Those men represented all of the Pharisees and the scribes and the priests and rabbis who had ever existed in Israel. And the ones alive today represent all of them too and the ones alive today are not excused from accepting jesus christ they are not excused from going into the gospel vineyard. They are still rebellious today. They're telling the father which vineyard they'll work in.

And he says, work in my vineyard. And they're saying, no, we want to work in the vineyard of Judaism. That's not my vineyard. My vineyard is the church. And I expect you to work in my vineyard. But most of the Jews today say, pharisees not only refuse to enter the gospel kingdom themselves but they hinder others from doing so through their opposition yes

they are actively engaged today in the opposition of the gospel. So the behavior of the second son mirrors the behavior of the Pharisees, who outwardly appeared to be righteous, but inwardly were full of pride and hypocrisy and in a broader context for all ages the second son represents the class of people who claim to obey who claim to be religious but failed to implement their words with actions and it's a warning to all of us to beware. Beware the danger of religious hypocrites

who do not implement the word of God. Verse 31. Which of the two did the will of the Father? This is Jesus asking the question. They said to him, the Pharisees said to Jesus, The first, Jesus said to them, Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God's kingdom before you. So using his counter question method,

Jesus set up the Pharisees and scribes to entrap themselves with their own words. He asked them, which of the two sons in the parable did the will of the father? Well, the religious leaders correctly identified their first son as the one who obeyed, despite initially refusing. And this acknowledgement implicated themselves. Right. And Jesus identifies them later in this very verse. That's right. They failed to see that their own actions aligned more with the second son than with the first son.

Doc, I think it's surprising that they even answered the question. I mean, previously, during another encounter with Jesus, they refused to answer his counter question about John the Baptist. Jesus said, the baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven or of men? And the Pharisees and scribes refused to answer they said we cannot tell you but for some unknown reason they fell into Jesus's trap on this one and they answered the question and they answered it correctly which incriminated themselves I don't know what why on on this one they they let down their guard and they walked right into it so then immediately Jesus

applied the parable telling them that the tax collectors, the prostitutes, the sinners, symbolized by the first son, are entering the kingdom of God ahead of the religious leaders. Most certainly, I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God's kingdom before you. So he's identified the two sons here. Yes. He said the publicans and sinners are the first part of the response.

You are the second part of the response. And he says this directly to the priests and elders. He's telling these high-minded religious leaders of jerusalem look these these people that you look down your nose on the tax collectors the prostitutes the drunkards all these people that you despise they are repenting they They were disobedient. They did refuse to obey God, but now they have repented and they are turning to God. But you, who pretend to be obedient,

have never obeyed. so the sinners represent people who who have a genuine change of heart and decide to obey God so despite being called in their lives by God, I'm talking about the religious leaders, they had a calling on their lives. The religious leaders continued to live a life of disobedience. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes, they had a calling on their lives too. That's right. And they later repented and entered the kingdom of God. And what brought it about? The effectiveness of John the Baptist's preaching.

Yes. Many of the people in that audience that would follow him into the wilderness were the sinners that the Pharisees despised. Telling those people, you'll never be like us. You will never reach the level of purity that we have. And yet they they humbled themselves and repented. And God accepted it as genuine.

You see, the Lord resists the proud. He gives grace to the humble. He gives grace to the humble. So, the religious leaders outwardly profess obedience to God, but fail to genuinely obey Him. They do not follow through with actions to back up their words and as I said they continue to this very day to be in in disobedience to Almighty God mighty God. Doc,

somebody shared, you know, I think it was Eric who shared with us a video, Dennis Prager. Yes. Prominent Jewish talk show host

talking about why he will not believe in Jesus Christ. Very proud of his rejection of Jesus Christ. How sad. So what explains the change of heart of the sinners? They were conscious of their sins unlike the Pharisees who were self-righteous they listened to Jesus and they accepted his

teachings unlike the Pharisees who rejected him they believed in Jesus they repented of their sins they were baptized the Pharisees could have done all these things yes but they would not yet they verbally told everybody they were this they were the servants of God Jesus doesn't completely discount the possibility of the Pharisees entering the kingdom but he emphasizes that they have forfeited the position of leadership and these Jewish rulers who stood there in front of Jesus rejecting Jesus Christ as Messiah chose to remain members of the synagogue of Satan. Right. It was a choice.

They made their choice. And it came crashing down on them in 70 A.D. Verse 32. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him, and ye, when you had seen it, repented not afterwards that ye might believe him. The modern English says, For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn't believe him.

But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn't even repent afterward that you might believe him. For John came unto you. John the Baptist is described as coming unto you. Jesus said, God in heaven sent John to you. He came unto you. He addressed you directly.

And he came in the way of righteousness. He came to you Pharisees in the way of righteousness. Meaning he preached truth and lived accordingly. Moses and the prophets had previously revealed to the Jews the way of righteousness. John did not come to introduce something new. He came to restore

the righteousness of the old ways given to the Jews by Moses. Right. I think it's interesting here, Rick, that he says, John came unto you. In other words, who is the you here?

Well, it goes back. Who's he been talking to since verse 23? The chief priests and scribes. Chief priests and elders. So John was sent to them. Think about that. John was sent unto you.

Yes. John was sent unto you to give you the opportunity to repent. You say that you live, you know, holy and righteous and everything but you don't repent and yet the publicans and harlots and tax collectors they will refuse to obey but they

come and end up repenting anyway so who's right you know one of the accusations against John the Baptist and Jesus was that they were doing away with the laws of Moses. That was a main accusation. Right. But John the Baptist and Jesus did not introduce something new.

John came to restore the righteousness of the old ways given to the Jews by Moses. It was the Talmudic rabbis who introduced something new called Judaism. Right. It was the Babylonian Talmud that changed the way God wanted the Jews to live. The Jews had the revelation of God and his ordinances of justice, but over centuries warped them and formed a new religion called Judaism.

And, you know, this goes back to the original question that the chief priests and elders asked Jesus by what authority do you do this but who granted you this authority and then Jesus makes a response about John the Baptist by all right well whose authority did that come from and the authority that the chief priests and elders based their rights on was, like you said, the Talmud. And everything associated with obeying the word that they had created, rather than obeying the word that came from the mouth of God. In this case, John the Baptist.

So John the Baptist, Jesus is affirming once again, he was speaking on behalf of God. And you refused to repent. Instead, you relied on your own interpretation of the law in order to establish your own righteousness. Whereas God is simply saying, repent. It's not how many carats you tithe or how much mint you tithe and all that it's whether you repent of your the wicked ways of your heart that john was speaking about and thus god was speaking about too that's right so for the pharisees the scribes if you ask them what what is the way of righteousness they would have

said well fasting prayer almsgiving the rules of the Talmud the rules these things we already do why should we listen to you Jesus and that's what they said to John these things we already do you're not telling us anything new however the phrase means more than behaving righteously the way of righteousness

implies following a path a course of right living in the eyes of God being in a course of right living in the eyes of God, being in a state of right standing with the Lord. Righteousness means to be in right standing with God. You're not crossways. You're standing right with him. So John preached with authority.

His doctrine was pure and correct. That's the source of his authority was the pureness of his doctrine. It came directly from Almighty God. And so there was no valid reason to reject John and his message of repentance and baptism and right living in preparation for the arrival of the Messiah. So by rejecting John and his message, that was tantamount with disobedience and rebellion against God. Who rejected John the Baptistist the pharisees did any pharisee intervene to stop the execution of john the baptist did anybody go to herod and say you can, you can't kill this man. This man's a prophet from God.

Nobody. Nobody intervened. You know why? Herod was doing what they were glad somebody was doing. They shut up the opposition. Yep. Another prophet murdered and they could keep their hands clean about it so this message was directed to both

Jews and Gentiles it urges both to turn from their sins and proclaim Jesus Christ as the Lord Messiah King this term for John David John used the term publicans okay it it referred to tax collectors harl, it obviously referred to prostitutes. Both groups were sinful and outcasts of society. But they responded to John's message. Jesus said to the Pharisees, when you saw it, you didn't even repent afterwards that you might believe him. He said, you saw these wicked lowlife sinners. You saw a change in their lives. They repented of their sins and they got right standing with God, and it didn't affect you.

In other words, you see, your heart is so hardened that even the repentance of prostitutes didn't change you. Repent it not afterwards means that even after hearing John's message and feeling its impact, the Jewish leaders refused to change their ways. Yes. Inwardly, they knew that John was ordained by God. Yes. So they recognized his authority,

just decided not to obey it. Exactly. Just like the father. The Jewish rulers did not believe John or his message, even though they knew it was true. Therefore, they did not accept him as the forerunner of the Messiah. They knew where this was headed.

Hey, that dude's out there in the wilderness telling us the Messiah's coming. If he's correct, we've got problems. This gig is up. We're all going to be unemployed when the messiah shows up our entire religious financial system is going to end it's hard to believe that people turned against the son of god so that they could maintain control of the finances Money money money must be funny. It's a rich man's world

So The Pharisees had the opportunity to reconsider their position after observing the response of the sinners, but they did not. Right. That's what Jesus is saying to them here. Even after seeing the response of the sinners, you didn't change. Yes. You recognized John's authority and refused to repent. And now,

a greater than John is standing before you, and you still refuse to repent. And a lot of Doc had to do with pride. How could they follow the examples of sinners? Well, that would imply they're sinners. Yes.

And they couldn't bring themselves to publicly stating, yes, we're sinners too. We're at the same level as these prostitutes and drunkards and so their pride would not allow them to repent all right so let's let's say going to get four minutes here. Let's recap. The parable features a certain man who has two sons. The two sons represent two classes of people. The first son symbolizes those who go before others who openly say, I will not. The father approaches the first son

and instructs him to go to work in his vineyard. The vineyard is the kingdom of God. The church, the realm of God's domain. It signifies the call to engage in obedience to God's will. And God's will is to love everybody. After, despite declining, the first son repents and then complies obeys

so that that represents the response of people who hear god's call and resist god's call for a time in their life but then change their heart and their mind and submit to him the second son represents the people who verbally say they're serving God they're obeying God and yet they do not. The parable's purpose is to unmask the hypocrisy of the religious people because they falsely claim to be ministers of God, zealots of godliness, and yet they hid their ambition, their pride, their cruelty, their wickedness. And Jesus rebuked them for showing that behavior. And we're going to see it in tomorrow's lesson when we go to the next parable. Verse 33, and Jesus says, I have another parable listen to this one if you don't like that

one um maybe you'll like this parable and this next one uh is is quite uh a condemnation of the Jewish rulers. And I would say that most modern evangelical Christian leaders miss the main lesson in this parable. Yeah, we've been over this one before. And so be sure to be here with us tomorrow when we pick up the parable of the wicked husbandman. And this is still in response to their initial question. By what authority? And so when we get into the second parable tomorrow,

it's going to further explain. Really, the authority is Christ. Christ has the authority. They knew he had the authority. I believe, and Rick and I talked about this before, I believe that they knew he was the Messiah. You know, in that Prager video you sent over the other day too, you know, Dennis Pra that prager video you sent over the other day too you know uh dennis prager

said something uh interesting he said we don't deny that jesus may well have been the messiah he said that in his response yeah he said we don't deny that jesus may well be the messiah we just don't believe he was the son of god and that he died for our sins and that's at the crux of this response by the pharisees and chief priests and elders too they knew he was a messiah they didn't believe he was the son of god but they they believed he was the messiah so there's a lot in here folks be sure to tune in tomorrow yes all right we'll be back'll be back tomorrow.
