TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - What Are The Three Snares Jesus Warned About?

Episode Date: June 30, 2022

There is a fascinating but greatly overlooked passage in the Holy Bible about the Second Coming of Christ. Modern Bible prophecy teachers love to talk about the mysteries in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, but they run away from expounding on Jesus’ plain talk about three deadly snares. His blunt warning is not mysterious. It is easy to understand, but it doesn’t motivate prophecy junkies to buy books and courses to know more.  Nevertheless, Jesus strongly advised us to “take heed to yourselves” regarding the three traps that could trip us up on the final day. Indeed, one would assume that the deadly traps must be the top three of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, and lust. Not so, but it does include Number Five on the Big Seven Sins. We are talking about gluttony.  Curiously, only St. Luke was inspired to record Jesus’ warning that we must each conquer these three sins before we die, or He returns on the final day. It should not be surprising that it was St. Luke. Apostle Paul called Luke his “beloved physician.” Luke was Paul’s doctor who traveled alongside him. Doctor Luke knew that his patients’ poor eating habits caused many illnesses.  More than the other three Gospel writers, St. Luke ministered to the saints’ spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. Only Dr. Luke recorded Jesus saying, “Physician, heal thyself” and “They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.” Consequently, because Luke was a doctor, his ears perked up when Jesus mentioned three bad habits that lead to poor physical and mental health.  Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Defend your freedom. Welcome to Rick Wiles Today. News analysis and commentary. Fresh Bible teaching about the kingdom of God. Preparing you to be remnant ready for the final day. Here is Rick Wiles. Well, there is a fascinating but greatly overlooked passage in the Holy Bible about the second coming of Jesus Christ. Many modern Bible prophecy teachers

love to talk about the mysteries in the book of the revelation of Jesus Christ, but they run away from expounding on Jesus's plain talk about three deadly snares. His blunt warning is not mysterious. It is easy to understand, but it doesn't motivate prophecy junkies to buy books and courses to know more about that subject. Nevertheless, Jesus strongly advised us to take heed to yourselves regarding the three traps that could trip us up on the final day. Indeed, one would assume that the deadly traps must be the top three of the seven deadly sins, pride, greed, and lust. Not so, but it does include number five on the big seven sins. We are talking about gluttony. Now, curiously, only St. Luke was inspired to record Jesus's warning that we must

each conquer these three sins before we die or he returns on the final day. It should not be surprising that it was St. Luke. Apostle Paul called Luke his beloved physician. Luke was Paul's doctor who traveled alongside him. Dr. Luke knew that his patient's poor eating habits caused many illnesses. More than the other three gospel writers, St. Luke ministered to the saints' spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. Only Dr. Luke recorded Jesus saying, physician, heal thyself, and they that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. Consequently, because Luke was a doctor, his ears perked up when Jesus mentioned three bad habits

that lead to poor physical and mental health. I want Dr. Raymond Burkhart to read verses 34 through 36 from the 21st chapter of the gospel according to St. Luke. And it says, And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this life. And so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man. Now before Doc and I discuss the three snares that Jesus warned us to avoid, I have a special

message to everybody who watches us on broadcast TV stations, cable TV, or DBS satellite providers. This program that you're watching right now continues online immediately after we sign off on broadcasting cable TV. So you can watch the full show at rickwiles.com. Doc and I delve deeply into each day's national and international news headlines to give you our very best analysis and commentary. So you can follow us at rickwiles.com. Now, the other thing that I want to say is that today's Bible lesson is from my book, Final Day, the 10 Characteristics of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Today's lesson is from my book, Final Day, the Ten Characteristics of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Today's lesson is found in chapter two. His second coming shall be sudden and unexpected. Now, let's take a look at this interesting scripture in the Gospel according to Luke.

Doc, what makes this interesting is that Jesus made this statement while he's talking about the end of the world and the second coming. And I think a lot of Christians just, when they're reading the scripture, I don't know if they think, did Jesus just get distracted and he's talking about the end of the world, the second coming, and they say, oh, by the way, don't do these three things. Now let me get back to the end of the world. But actually he's telling you three things that are vitally important to every believer before Christ comes back or before we take our final breath. Because when you take your final breath in this life, your fate is sealed.

Yes. On that last breath, your eternal fate is sealed. But if you're still alive, walking on this earth, when Christ christ comes back the moment he comes back the moment that he appears in the air your fate is sealed wherever you are wherever you're standing with christ at that moment that's where you're going to be for eternity either with christ in new jerusalem or separated from christ in the lake of fire. But he's talking about the end of the world and the second coming. And he says, oh, by the way, there are three things I want you to avoid. And this is, again, Bible prophecy teachers overlooked it. Doc, you've been a preacher for many, many years. Have you ever heard a prophecy teacher talk about the three snares? I was just

going to say, after all the exposure I've had since I was a teenager to various, you know, prophecy conferences and teachers and everything through the years, I didn't catch this until I read your book and saw this. And then I began to understand why Jesus put that in there why he put this warning in there and he explains it it's because he tells you all these things are going to happen at the end of the age and says you're going to miss it all if you fall into the one of these three snares it's going to get you unaware and that's hard for a lot of people to accept. Yes. That three habits could cause you to miss the second coming of Christ in eternity. And I know there's going to be some people who say, hey, what kind of theology are you teaching here? I'm just reading the Bible.

Jesus is talking in these scriptures, he's talking about the end of the world. He's talking about earthquakes and famines and pestilence and wars and rumors of wars. And then he just goes, it looks like he just goes off script and says, now, there's three things I want you to avoid. And then he gets back talking about the end of the world. No, it's all one message to the body of Christ. So let's go back. Let's put up on the screen the scripture that we read. And let's take a look at it again.

Take heed. Take heed, meaning, hey, pay attention. Perk up. Listen to what I'm saying. Heads up. Heads up. This is important. Take heed.

This is really important. That's what I'm saying. Heads up. Heads up. This is important. Take heed. This is really important. That's what Jesus is saying. Lest at any time, at any time, your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting. Now, that's old English King James verbiage. And a lot of modern people, what does that mean? Don't be overcharged with surfeiting. I don't surf it. I don't even have a surfboard. And I don't have, my credit card's not overcharged. I didn't spend too much on my surfboard. That's not what it means. What does, don't be overcharged with surfeiting. What does that mean? That simply

means to be obsessed to an extreme, especially with food. I mean, gluttony is basically gluttony. It's gluttony. That's really what it comes down to. Don't be caught up with eating.

That that's your main, the main thing you think about every single day doc i i know people that when they get up in the morning not only are they making their breakfast they're thinking about what they're going to have for dinner. Yes. They haven't even eaten their breakfast. And they're planning out. And they're planning out their dinner. Is that being overcharged with surfeiting, with gluttony that you're consumed

with what you're going to eat every day? That's obsessive. And it only shows that you care about the things of the day, what happens in this particular moment. And like he said, this is an old King James word, but it simply means to be totally obsessed with consuming things. And it could even be not even limited to food, Rick.

I mean, just being gluttonous and trying to acquire things. Yes. Get more things, to have more stuff. You know the saying, the one who dies with the most toys wins, right? That's gluttony. Yeah, that's a form of gluttony as well. Because it's lust. Yes. At the heart of gluttony is lust, a lust for food. Others have a lust for money, a lust for power, a lust for fame. But it's a lust. It's an uncontrollable desire to have something. And Jesus said, take heed. Take heed means be on guard. That's the real meaning.

You know, we sit there a few minutes ago, you know, he's saying, listen up, pay attention. But the most correct definition of be on guard is, I mean, of take heed is be on guard. Yes. Make sure you don't do these things. Be on guard. Folks, take this seriously. Jesus was talking about the end of the world and the second coming and he said be on guard that you don't do these three things number one is surfeting which means an obsession with food gluttony constantly eating constantly overeating right I look we're all going to come under conviction here. I mean, we sit down at a wonderful meal and it's delicious and we go back for seconds and maybe even thirds. And do we need it? What is it that drives us to keep eating when our stomach is full? It takes 20 minutes for the signal to get from your gut to your brain. It takes 20 minutes.

And that's why you're supposed to eat slow. So that that neurological message can get from your stomach up to your brain that says, hey, we're loaded down here. You don't have to put any more food in your mouth. But when we're eating fast and we're just shoving it down and gulping it down, you can actually eat several meals in that 20 minutes. And that's gluttony. Right. I take that gluttony concept even further

with the idea of the whole total consumerism. Like, let's take news, for example. There are people that really are gluttony concept even further with the idea of the whole total consumerism like let's take news for example there are people that really are gluttonous on news i mean they just they just can't get enough news no matter how much information you give them how much uh how many stories you give them they're constantly concerned concerning news should we be aware of what's going on the world around us of course we. But should we just be overwhelmed with it and totally consuming it?

Doc, it's a really good point because the explosion of the internet in the past 25 years, we have more news than we've ever had. Prior to the internet, I read a newspaper.

Right. You had to physically hold a newspaper. How many newspapers could you read per day? Well, most people only had one newspaper. And you read it in the morning, and that was it. If you lived in a big metropolitan area, there may be two newspapers. But here we are today today and there is an explosion of news sources look when when I started this program and this was back in 1999 there were very few Christian news programs on radio at that time in

fact I could only think of one that was a national program, a national Christian radio news program. I went on the internet in 1999, streaming and MP3. There were very few. In fact, I can't think of anybody who was streaming like we were with a news program. Now, anybody with a phone can record themselves and have a podcast. And people are watching news programs, alternative news, all day long. I don't know when they ever get any work done. Because I talk to people who tell me, oh yeah, I listen to this program three hours a day. I listen to this program three hours a day. I listen to this person two hours a day. Look, and I'm one of them that you're watching and you're listening to. And I'm telling you, cut it out, cut it down. You've got to limit the amount of

information that you're getting. But you're making a very good point. People are being gluttonous with news and information now. And they have an internet addiction. That's true. I mean, really. Just look at the people and go in a restaurant and look at the people who are on their phones and not talking to the people who are seated at the table with them.

So it's over-consuming anything, really. But then Jesus moves into the idea of drunkenness. He says, this will be a snare to you. This is one of those snares to watch out for, Rick. So in our day and age, there's the prevalence of alcohol. It's readily acceptable to a lot of our culture today. But drunkenness is a lifestyle. Drunkenness is just the idea of continually being in a state of stupor.

Yes. And is he referring to alcoholic beverages or is he talking about overindulging in any beverage? I mean, can you drink too many Coca-Colas? All right. I know people that drink eight to ten sodas a day. Is that excessive? To me, it is. I would think so. I certainly couldn't handle anything like that. I've talked to people who said, I haven't drank water in years. I'm serious. I've talked to people who said they haven't drank water in years. They drink soda all day long. Or maybe it's coffee or some other beverage. Is that excessive?

Is that drunkenness? Because you have to have another. I mean, what is, come on, Coca-Cola was. Originally had cocaine in it. Cocaine in it. And coffee and Coca-Cola, there's caffeine. Is it a lust for caffeine? Is that why people are excessively drinking caffeinated drinks?

And now it's Red Bull and so many other drinks. Coffee and Coke, there's not enough caffeine in it now. They got to go to the heavy duty stuff. But is this what Jesus is talking about? And then he also mentions the daily cares of this world. Just getting caught up with living life day to day. Getting so caught up,

even with good things in life, Rick. Even good things in life can be a distraction to the kingdom of God. I think that's what Jesus was driving at too. Yes, there's these negative things, but even just the daily cares.

I've got to go to work and take care of my family. I've got to do these things. Just rolling through in the daily cares. But each one of these, Jesus mentions, as a snare for disciples. He's telling disciples, you're going to see all these earthquakes.

You're going to see insurrections. You're going to see wars. But you're going to miss me by being caught up in these things. These are the snares. You'll see these things. You'll see all these warnings. But you'll miss me in the midst of the warning.

And not be aware that his second coming is imminent. Right. The signs will be around them. But they will be drunk with food, drunk with drinks, drunk with worries and the pursuit of life. Yes. That they miss the things going on around them. This is a sobering thought, and no pun intended, but Peter told us to be sober. Be sober, be vigilant.

In fact, that's 1 Peter. Right there it is. But the end of all things is at hand. Be ye therefore sober and watch under prayer. Well, that's 2,000 years ago when Peter wrote that. Yes. And it's interesting that word sober there is not limited to our modern context

of being sober from drink, but to be considerate and serious about the day and the hour in which we live. And all these things, the three snares that Jesus talks about are the distractions of this life that take us away from looking at him. See, the second coming isn't about monsters, meteors, mayhem, as you like to say. It's about the master returning.

That's what it's all about. And these snares distract us from seeing the master. We'll look at the meteors. We'll look at the monsters. We'll look at the mayhem. But are we really looking for the master. We'll look at the meteors. We'll look at the monsters. We'll look at the mayhem. But are we really looking for the master to return?

Sadly, Doc, a lot of people who call themselves Christians are not looking for Christ. That's the sad truth. Right. And being with Christ is not their main priority, their main desire. They don't hunger and thirst to be with Christ is not their main priority, their main desire.

They don't hunger and thirst to be with Christ. And that must grieve and break the Lord's heart. When we talk about drunkenness, what about the excessive use of pharmaceutical drugs today? Right. Where does the word pharmaceutical come from? Pharmakeia. Pharmakeia.

What is pharmakeia? It's basically... Sorcery. Sorcery. Witchcraft. So when you go to the pharmacy... The witchcraftery. The sorcery place.

It's the sorcery store. Oh, I know people don't want to hear that, but pharmacia, pharmacy comes from the word pharmakia. It means sorcery. And so, okay, I know people don't, they don't like the idea that their local pharmacist is practicing a form of witchcraft, but it is pharmacia. It's drugs. And we are the most drug society that's ever been on the face of the earth. I'm talking about the American people right now. Oh, yes.

We are one heavily drugged country. People walking around in a stupor all the time. And this is the very thing Jesus said, don't let this happen to you. How many people are on antidepressants right now? How many people are on meds? How many people are taking medicine, prescription drugs for pain, for their nerves, for their worries? Well, he said, don't worry. So you're worrying so much, you've got to take drugs

to try to calm yourself from your worrying. But Jesus said, don't worry. Don't be anxious for nothing. And yet we have a lot of people who are drugged up every single day. Now look, I know how easy it is for people to get addicted to pain pills. Doctors are prescribing powerful pills now that people can quickly become addicted to.

And I understand that good people can become addicted. But nevertheless, Jesus said, don't let this happen to you. And if you are addicted to something, you need to cry out to God to deliver you from the addiction. Because you're going through life doped up. And you're missing what's going on around you and the signs of the second coming of Christ. Look, I've been telling you, for those of you who've been watching me since I've been on broadcast television, cable TV,

and it's only the past month. I've been out here since 1999 with this message, but it wasn't on broadcast television. I've been telling you that World War III has already started, that there is a high probability we may not even be alive by January 2023. That's how serious it is.

But most people don't know it. And the reason they don't know it is because they're doped up with pharmaceutical drugs. They're gorging on food at their local buffet bar. They're watching television day and night, or they're watching YouTube, and they're on TikTok, and they're on all the social media stuff, watching videos all day long. And they're high on all these other things. They're not sober, and they're not aware of what is taking place around them and how close we are to the second coming of Christ. And Jesus said, be sober. Yes. And Peter reiterated that. Be sober. Be sober in your thinking. This is in the end of all things. Be therefore sober

and watch in the prayer. You know, Rick, Jesus had a parable, the parable of the sower. And we know the parables each give us another little glimpse into the end of times. And Jesus also talked about the cares of this world in that parable of the sower, didn't he? He sure did. And he said, be careful that the cares of the world don't choke out the word of God.

Yes. And that's exactly what they do, isn't it? Yes. Each one of these scenarios that creep in, you know, the gluttony squeezes a little bit more of the word out of you, the drunkenness a little bit more, the cares of this life just a little bit more. And the deceitfulness of riches. That's an easy one to fall into because we have to make a living. We have to pay our bills, but you can be, you can be pulled into the deceitfulness of riches.

It's one thing to have enough money to pay your bills, to have a comfortable life. It's another thing to lust to be rich. The deceitfulness of riches. People are playing lottery. Why? Because they want to get rich overnight without working. You know, the way that you become prosperous is you have a skill, you have a business, you have a product, you have something, and you build a business. And it takes many years, and it's a lot of work and a lot of diligence and sacrifice

and you're giving and the Lord is blessing. But people play the lottery because they want to be rich now, today. It's the deceitfulness of riches. People get involved in scams. They fall for internet scams. Happens every single day. How do con men get money out of Christians? How many times have you heard about Christians being ripped off by some con man? Sometimes it's in the church. Sometimes there's a fake business investment counselor who will hit on a church, scoop up a lot of money. It's a promise of quick riches, the deceitfulness of riches. Instead of just being content with what God has given you, that your bills are paid, you have food, you have a house, you have clothing, and God is

taking care of you. People, they want that quick they want to find that treasure they don't want it to come over time they wanted to come now instant riches that's deceitfulness of riches right they get caught up in the whole idea of the get-rich-quick scheme and not aware of the Jesus is coming back quick scheme. In Luke 21, 35, it says, For as a snare it shall come on all them that dwell on the face of the earth, Rick. All that dwell. It just means that the entire society, everything,

every level of society will be caught up in this deceit that goes on from the daily living that goes on. Everything that distracts us from Christ. He called it a snare, a snare, a trap. If you've ever trapped animals or set a snare for an animal, the animal steps into it and the snare grabs their feet. Suddenly they're caught. How did you get them there? How did you get the animal there? You put something next to the snare that they lusted for, some food,

something that they wanted and the animal steps into the snare and then the snare is pulled shut and their feet have been caught and they can't get out of it. Jesus said these things, drunkenness, excessive eating, the cares of life, the deceitfulness of riches, their snares. You're going to step into it. It's going to grab you and and your feet are going to be caught in it. And then you're going to find yourself suddenly you're at the end of your life. Your life has ended or Christ has come back and you've missed.

You've missed the second coming. You've missed the resurrection. You've missed the kingdom of God. This is why Jesus talked about these things when he was talking about the end of the world and the second coming. Hey, for those of you watching, we're gonna go over to our online at rickwiles.com and continue our conversation. For the rest of you, we'll see you tomorrow. God bless. Thank you for watching Rick Wiles Today.

Request your copy of Final Day by visiting rickwiles.com this gospel god cast was sponsored by christian brethren who are eagerly awaiting the final day when our lord jesus christ returns to establish his kingdom that shall have no end. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Glad to have you here. And it appears from the response that we're getting, most of you are aware that we're continuing the program. We'll try to keep announcing that for those who are watching the first half and they're not aware that we are continuing after the first half closes. But it's making it

an easier way for us to produce the program for broadcast because what we were doing there for four weeks was we were producing two programs and it was just documenting a lot of hard work. And this was working a lot easier. Doc, you just got a very sad piece of news. Right. We just received word that Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, Zev Zelenko, recently passed away. He was one of the outspoken voices against the vaccine over the past several years, and that's being reported by American Frontline News and Dr. Simone Gold. So our prayers go out to Dr. Zelenko's family during this time, and another voice that's silenced.

But Rick, he'd been suffering from cancer for a while, yes, and so he's passed from this life to the next. So let's pray for his family today and just believe God will minister His grace of support during this time of grief. Very brave man, and he appears in the film The Greatest Reset that we will be releasing very soon. So if you didn't see my announcement, was that yesterday? Yes. Yesterday.

So if you watch yesterday's program on the second half, you can see the announcement that I made about The Greatest Reset, why it was delayed, but it is very, very close to being released now. Now that a law firm has cleared, given us the green light, saying you have taken care of all of the copyright issues, and you can go ahead and get the insurance policy. We have an insurance company ready to issue the policy, and it's starting to move along pretty fast now. Right, we're getting ready to see the end of the journey here. Yes, but I've lost count of how many people, there are others in this film that have passed away.

Yes, several names escape me at the moment, but yes. There's several. So it's unfortunate. You know, it really goes on to what we were talking about in the first half too. We don't know that day or that moment of time either that Jesus will return or that He will call us home. We shouldn't be caught unawares. We need to be sober. We can't rest in just thinking, well, God's got a lifeboat

for me to get into at some point in the future. Peter himself was saying to those he loved in the epistles, be sober about these things. And to be wary that life hangs by a simple thread. That's right. A very simple thread. You're one breath away from eternity. LIFE HANGS BY A SIMPLE THREAD. THAT'S RIGHT. A VERY SIMPLE THREAD. YOU'RE ONE BREATH AWAY FROM ETERNITY. AND I THINK ABOUT, DID ANYBODY TELL DR. ZELINKO ABOUT JESUS CHRIST?

HE DID A LOT OF GOOD THINGS, A LOT OF GOOD WORKS, BUT DID ANYBODY TELL HIM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST? THAT I DON'T KNOW. BUT THAT'S DECIDED BY NOW. YES, THERE IS NO MORE DEC more decision for Dr. Zalingo or for anyone else. No, he's not going to purgatory. He's not going to hang around in some place

and get prayed out. His eternal fate has already been decided. Only God knows. Only God knows. When Jesus said, do not judge others, that's what he's talking about. Do not judge where others have gone when they pass away. You're not qualified. I'm not qualified. Leave it alone.

He said, just don't judge. So we'll leave that up to the judge, Almighty God. I want to get into world news. The first one I think I should tell you is they're going to have elections in Israel again. Yes. And the prime minister, Mr. Bennett, resigned yesterday. And not only resigned as prime minister, resigned from politics. Yes.

It only took a year for him to be a prime minister. What do you think happened to Naftali Bennett that he just suddenly quit? I just think the nature of Israeli politics was just such a pressure cooker. He just said, I'm done with it. And he's been a career politician. Yes. I mean, he's been in various cabinet positions for a number of years. So now we're heading into the fifth election in four years. Yes, so Mr. Lapid is now the prime minister.

Yeah, the interim prime minister. He stepped in, so Israel is now led by Prime Minister Lapid. But guess who is in the wings waiting to come back? And he's got the endorsement of Donald Trump. I'll show you right there. There you go, Jerusalem Post. Trump considers endorsing Netanyahu. Wow.

Now, remember that Mr. Trump was disappointed with Netanyahu when he congratulated Joe Biden on his presidential election victory. They've patched up. Yeah, so former US President Donald Trump would consider endorsing Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with US cable channel Newsmax on Thursday. He was asked if he would support Netanyahu in an upcoming election.

Mr. Trump said he may. I was disappointed with him in certain ways, but overall I liked him very much, and if he ran, I would certainly give it some thoughts, said Trump, who is thought to want to run for the presidency again in 2024. We'll see what happens. I don't know that that's going to happen, Mr. Trump added with regards to a Netanyahu endorsement. He disappointed me in certain ways, but he also did a very good job in other ways. Well, the two men have a lot in common. So there's a lot of people in Israel that feel very strongly about Benjamin Netanyahu one way or the other. There's no middle ground.

There's nobody indifferent about Benjamin Netanyahu. They either love him or they hate him. There's some people that really want him to come back. There are other Israelis who just hate the idea of Mr. Netanyahu coming back, same way as Donald Trump. There are people that really love him. There are people that really hate him. So it looks like Mr. Netanyahu may make another run for it and could end up being the prime minister before this year is over. IT LOOKS LIKE MR. NETANYAHU MAY MAKE ANOTHER RUN FOR IT AND COULD END UP BEING THE PRIME

MINISTER BEFORE THIS YEAR IS OVER. AND THERE'S ANOTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT A NETANYAHU LEADERSHIP RETURN, AND THAT WOULD BE A LARGE MAJORITY OF CHRISTIAN EVANGELICALS. YES, A CHRISTIAN ZIONIST IN AMERICA. THEY NEVER MADE THAT CONNECTION WITH BENNETT. I MEAN, EVEN THOUGH BENNETT WAS ROUGHLY ON THE SAME PAGE AS BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. BUT THEY DIDN'T BOND. Even though Bennett was roughly on the same page as Benjamin Netanyahu. But they didn't bond. Right.

They've got that connection with Benjamin Netanyahu. And I would see that continue, of course. And so that's something else to watch out for here as we move forward. I'm betting we have not heard the end of Benjamin Netanyahu. No. No. You can't rule out that man. He's got nine lives, okay?

All right, the next story is, this is a, pardon the pun, it's chilling, okay? So Bloomberg News reporting, Europe must be ready to cut natural gas use by 30% this winter. Yes. Europe in winter. Now, if you are using natural gas at your home or business, and I do at my home, you have to take this very seriously.

Because it's gonna impact prices here, too. Worldwide. Worldwide, natural gas prices are going to go to the moon this winter. If Europe cuts back one-third, I don't even know what the price of natural gas will be with that kind of cutback. But this is Bloomberg News. And if they have a rough winter, think about the impact of that as well. If it's an exceptionally cold winter, snowy winter.

So Europe will need to cut as much as 30% of its gas consumption by mid-February if flows from Russia are halted. Widespread curtailments would be necessary if Moscow decides to halt flows completely, according to Fadi Barol, executive director of the International Energy Agency. It's a scenario that leaders should be preparing for, he said in response to emailed questions. And he said, depending on its timing, a complete cutoff of Russian gas supplies to Europe

could result in storage fill levels being well below average ahead of the winter, leaving the EU in a very vulnerable position, Burrell said. In the current context, I wouldn't exclude a complete cutoff of gas exports to Europe from Russia. Well, I don't disagree with him on that. Europe is trying to shore up supplies of gas to put into storage ahead of winter, and this is looking more challenging after Moscow earlier this month cut flows through the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany by 60 percent, citing technical issues. EU's gas supply situation could worsen if Russia completely halts gas to the region in the coming weeks. The bloc's projections show that while storage filling rates are currently on track to hit 90% by November 1st,

a cutoff will bring that level to below 75%. And this would mean significantly higher gas prices, according to Baral. Benchmark European gas futures have already more than tripled since this time last year, according to ICE index data. Well, right there, there's your first clue about what you're going to be paying. Right. Three times as much. Yes.

Because this is on future contracts. So the market is expecting gas prices to be three times higher this winter. And so Europe is racing to fill their reserves. Russia knows that. Russia's going, they've already started cutting back. Right. And they're not going to allow Europe to fill their reserves.

Now, that article went on to say, too, that Europe should focus on cutting gas use from industry and households now to ensure as much supply as possible is going into storage, Baral said. So they know, they know that they can't fill the storage tanks. Right. So they're saying you've got to cut usage now. They're going to go to rationing, Doc. How quickly do you think that's going to happen? By the middle of July, maybe?

I think so. I think you're going to see gas rationing, natural gas rationing, in Europe before the month of July is over. It'll probably start in corporate level first. Yes. Companies are... Oh, absolutely. And then when it starts hitting the households,

maybe August or so? Well, think about this, Doc. If they start cutting back on businesses and restrict the amount of natural gas that they can use, then businesses have to lay off workers. That's true, too. They're not going to have them coming to work, and they can't do anything. Germany is very dependent on natural gas.

I'm talking about the industrial sector. It would be, for them, if they have a, we don't know what percentage that they're going to curtail, but if they have a 25%, 30% cutback. That means a 25% to 30% cutback in production as well, doesn't it? So massive layoffs coming to Europe this summer, this fall. Can't even imagine what it's going to be by wintertime. You're right now.

Listen, this is it, folks. This is your time. This is your heads up. You know, look at the squirrels. Look at the ants. Go to the ant, thou slayer. Consider her ways. Yes, what does the Bible say about the ant?

Prepareth her food in summer, so she has something in the winter. Yeah. So learn from the ants and the squirrels. Store up your food right now. Store up gas. Store up whatever you've got to get. Get it filled up now because there's going to be severe shortages and extreme prices by fall and winter. The next story, this is oilprice.com.

Get ready. Oil likely to hit $200 a barrel. That translates to about $9 or $10 a gallon gas. For gasoline, yes. Here in the U.S. Are you ready for that? People aren't feeling the pain of gas at the moment, are they? They are, but- They're not complaining about it. When it was five, they were complaining.

Now it's down at 450. Okay, I'll deal with it. Well, what happens when it goes to seven, eight, nine, ten? At what point do the pitchforks come out is the question. Well, people stop going to work because they can't get to work. Right, they can't afford it. And then they don't have revenue. They don't have income to buy the food.

Well, can't they just buy an electric car and drive to work? Well, only high-powered Democrats can afford electric cars. It's the Marie Antoinette question. Let them eat cake. Let them drive an electric car. So oil prices are likely to soar past $200 per barrel if G7 manages to cap the price of Russian crude oil, according to chief commodities analyst at Swedish bank SEB Group, Bjorn Sjeldrup. SEB analysts said on Wednesday in no uncertain terms that the G7's price capping proposal was a recipe for disaster. That's what

they were talking about this week, by the way, given the current stress that the oil market is under. The G7 leaders agreed on Tuesday to study ways to cap the price of Russian oil sold internationally and are seeking support among like-minded nations. Now, according to Shield Drop, the plan seems neat on paper, but it sounds like a recipe for disaster right now, given the strong demand for crude oil and low supplies that so far have given Russia the upper hand in the market. Russia could, the analysts argued, choose not to sell oil at a capped price, a decision that could lead to Russia's production falling by as much as 2 million barrels per day.

So translation, what G7 is trying to do is trying to get all nations to accept a price cap for Russian crude. Yes. And the Russians can simply respond by pumping less crude. Yes. And still make money. Yes. Because then the price of crude goes up and they make more money. Yes. Because then the price accrued goes up and they make more money.

So the only people being hurt by sanctions, Rick, really aren't the Russians. It's Europe and the US. Yes. The sanctions are on us. Yes. Everyone's gonna suffer because of the idiotic foreign policy of the ruling elite.

Yes. And they think they're so smart and that they're born to rule and you and I aren't intelligent enough, we're not educated enough to make these kind of decisions. We have to allow them to make the decisions. But everything that they touch turns into a mess.

And now the whole world is suffering because of their stupid policies and this is going to become a nightmare by late fall early winter of of this year by the end of 2022 early 23 we're going to have a global economic crisis and you're going to have suffering global economic crisis. And you're going to have suffering. You're going to have starvation. You're going to have people freezing. Look, you're going to have people freezing to death. But Rick, no one knows about any of this, do they?

No, no. No, they're watching the clown show in Washington. You got it. You got it. And everything else going on. The January 6th clown show. Once again, caught up in the surfeiting, the drunkenness, and the daily cares of life.

The news media is not reporting it. The churches don't know about it. The pastors don't know about it. You know about it because you're watching this program. You're far ahead of 99% of the population. Far ahead. And you've got to take this knowledge

that you have and use it. And you use it by being prepared, getting prepared, taking advantage of the remaining months, and we're down to months months now to store food and to get supplies everything is going to skyrocket if gasoline goes to ten dollars a gallon and natural gas triples or quadruples everything else is going to do the same thing, Doc. Everything you buy is going to skyrocket in price suddenly, quickly. And what did Jesus say? Take heed. Take heed. Take heed.

That's right. Pay attention. Be prepared. Pay attention to what I'm telling you here. Getting caught up in the daily cares of life and missing all the important things and missing me, you're going to get caught short. Doc, you saw a story I didn't see from Russia today. Germany seizes Russian LNG tankers.

Yes, so this is the next step that the EU is involved with now. Germany has assumed control of three liquefied natural gas carriers that belong to Russian energy major Gazprom, Britain's Telegraph newspaper reported Thursday, citing maritime operator DynaGas LNG. Now, two of the three ships, the Amur River and the Aab River, have previously been chartered to Gazprom, Germania, until 2028, and the contract for the third tanker, the Clean Energy, was valid until 2026. All three are now effectively under the control

of the German government for an indefinite period of time, Monaco-based Dyna Gas said. Now, Gazprom Germania, which used to operate some of Germany's largest natural gas facilities, was taken over by Berlin several weeks ago as part of Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia. And in response, Gazprom stopped supplying gas to the company, which resulted in liquidity problems and jeopardized the work of key gas retailers in Germany and the U.K.,

which work with the unit. And so basically Germany nationalized Gazprom that was providing the natural gas from Russia, and now they're taking over the contracts, just saying, you know, those contracts you have, they don't matter. Those ships that you leased out for six, eight years in advance. We own them now.

Yes, it's ours. Now, Germany's got a problem now, Rick. They've got to find natural gas to put in those tankers. Yeah, so you've got the tankers. You stole the tankers, but they're empty. Yes. So how did you come out ahead? Once again, the sanctions are only hurting the people.

Yes. The people of Europe and the people of the United States. Somebody in Europe did not think this through. How is this going to make things better with the Russians? All you're going to do is infuriate them. You just stole three of their gas tankers. Right. So the Russians are going to retaliate.

And I think we know where this is going. I want to go through these headlines somewhat quickly here because we have some really important things to share with you today. Folks, I think I can safely say we are the only news program that is giving you a day-by-day update on World War III. I feel like I should go back to my shortwave radio days. And, you know, shortwave radio was created for World War II. Yes. I mean, it existed before then.

Yes. But it flourished in World War II. It was to get news and information out during World War II. Yes. And, you know, the BBC, This is London. That shortwave. On shortwave radio. And when I used to listen

to shortwave, I loved that sound when I'd hear that British reporter at the top of the hour saying, This is London. And knowing, I'm getting a radio signal

coming across the ocean from London. But BBC broadcasts the news of World War II. And I feel like what I'm doing right now is giving you the news of World War III as we're in that war right now. And a lot of you, you're watching and listening to a lot of other news podcasts. How many are there, how many of those shows are talking about World War III? They're talking about politics. They're talking about all kinds of topics.

But they're missing World War III. It's not interesting to them. To me, a catastrophic nuclear war is kind of like high on my list that I'm very concerned about. No gas, no natural gas, no gasoline, food shortages, really high on my radar right now of the things I'm thinking about. Because this is reality and it's coming at us extremely fast in 2022. I want to go through some war news quickly. Number 18 from the hill.com. Joe Biden said the U.S. will send another $800 million of military gear to Ukraine, meaning the United States government is giving weapons and ammo to Ukraine to kill Russian soldiers. And this is in addition to over a billion dollars of aid

committed to by other members of NATO this week as well. President Biden said Thursday that the U.S. plans to send an additional $800 million in security assistance to Ukraine, including advanced air defense systems and other offensive weapons. Biden disclosed the plans during a news conference following a NATO summit in Madrid where he declared the alliance united in response to Russia's war in Ukraine. Mr. Biden said the new assistance package would also include more counter-battery radars, artillery, and ammunition including ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems that the u.s had recently supplied to the ukraines they sent them the rocket systems but not the ammunition biden also predicted that other

countries would send high mars to ukraine white house national security adviser jake sullivan said earlier this week that the u.s would be sending medium and long-range air defense systems to Ukraine, though he declined to specify the particular system. And, Doug, as Mr. Biden is sending more weapons and ammo to Ukraine, Great Britain is bringing Ukrainian soldiers to Great Britain to train them how to kill Russian soldiers. We have this video report from BBC. This is the multiple launch rocket system and it provides depth fire with precision on the battle space. It's going to give them more mobility which is going to aid in their survivability. They are extremely keen to learn. They're now in a position where the battery commander himself is now exercising his troops

and we're able to take a step back and just be there for safety. Definitely see a high degree of motivation and dedication to the defence of Ukraine in these guys. They are committed to the training, committed to their cause and certainly leave here with a sense of what they can do. So Russia's watching that, by the way. Yes. And they're saying, so you're training Ukrainian troops in the U.K.? Well, no wonder that there's the threats that Russia is throwing out there toward the aisle. We're going to show you in just a moment where they named London as a target for Russian nuclear weapons.

Yes. And they're very direct and very blunt about what they plan to do. The next one is from Naval News. New evidence shows Russia has deployed powerful missiles to Kaliningrad coast. And so we've been watching this story develop, of course, since the sanctions that Lithuania put on rail shipments through their country from Russia to Kaliningrad. But really, this is really a redeployment of missiles because Russia's had missiles in Kaliningrad

for quite a while, Rick. That's right, I reported this back in 2018. We'll go to the next slide. This is from DW News in Germany. You see this, literally, one year ago, July 2nd. I mean, not one year ago July 2nd I mean not one year ago the same four years ago the same basically the same week July 2nd 2018 Russia deploys nuclear capable missile system to Kaliningrad I remember this story, Doc, and commented about Russia's getting ready for the showdown with NATO. Because they saw it coming.

Yes. I doubt if many people who heard me in 2018 took me seriously. But it's here now, folks. It's now here. The showdown has started. war three has started the z that the russian military is displaying on their tanks and trucks and uh painting it on buildings it's a seped it's the name of the annual war exercise of the Russian military to go to war with NATO. What the Russians are saying every time they paint that Z is not for Zorro. It's saying we are, every Russian now knows we are at war with NATO.

This is what we've practiced for. We knew that the NATO alliance was coming for us someday, and now that someday is now. And so they moved those nuclear-capable missiles into Kaliningrad four years ago. Most people have forgotten about it. That happened a long time ago. Yes, and it wasn't just to defend Kaliningrad. No. No, it wasn't just to defend

Kaliningrad, but to defend itself from NATO. To take out European cities when the war starts. That's exactly right. In that article from DW, Russia claimed the right to put weapons anywhere it chooses on its own territory after reports that the country had deployed nuclear-capable Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad, remember this is four years ago, folks, Kaliningrad is the Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea. The missiles would be able to reach large parts of NATO members, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The president of Lithuania, which neighbors Kaliningrad, and a senior Russian lawmaker both said the missile systems had been deployed to the region. Russian has not confirmed the deployment, but the reported placement of Iskander missiles so close to NATO territory is perceived by some alliance members as a threat

at a time when tensions between Russia and its neighbors are running high over Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea. They tried to get it started back then, right? This again makes the situation even more serious because Iskanders in Kaliningrad is a danger to half of European capitals. That's what I wanted you to see. That's a 2018 statement. Yes. The Russian Iskander missiles that were deployed to Kaliningrad in 2018 can hit half of the capital cities on the European continent.

Now, let's fast forward to 2022, February of this year. We have some video. Here is a MiG flying into Kaliningrad, a Kaliningrad air base, carrying a Kinzhal ballistic missile. This is a ballistic missile that is capable of reaching great distances throughout most of NATO territory. Forbes reported February of this year, Russia deploys hypersonic missile

to the Baltic regions in range of NATO capitals. I don't know how much clearer it can get there. As U.S. paratroopers, remember, this isn't February of this year, as U.S. paratroopers began arriving in Poland in response to Russia's military buildup near Ukraine, so this is right before everything started happening in Ukraine, a video posted on Telegram appears to depict the landing of a Russian MiG-31K Foxhound jet, or MiG-31I in recent Russian state media reports,

carrying what looks like a Kinzhal hypersonic land attack missile in Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea bordering Poland and Lithuania. The video seemingly can be geolocated to the Kaliningrad-Chiwalskis naval base in the exclave. Later, unconfirmed reports suggest as many as four or five Kinzel-armed MiG-31s have landed in Kaliningrad. So what is this Kinzel? Well, it's called the Dagger, another name for it, designated the KH-47M2 and other designations.

But it has a reported range, Rick, of 1,240 miles and can carry either an 1,100-pound fragmentation warhead or up to a 500-kiloton nuclear warhead or up to a 500 kiloton nuclear warhead with 33 times the yield of the fat man bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Now, accelerating to over 10 times the speed of sound, more than two miles per second, it leaves air defenses little time to react as it flies at a shallower trajectory than a traditional ballistic missile and can maneuver evasively for a good measure. Allegedly, the Kinzel is capable of precision strikes using a terrain-matching sensor as well as engaging moving ships at sea using a radar seeker.

Now, Rick, we can't be the only people reading these stories. There has to be at least one or two people at this NATO meeting this past week that either heard or read these stories from years ago or months ago. They read them all. They read them all. Your military planners know about this. Your war strategists know about it. The deep state guys know about it. They just don't want you to know about it. They want you to be in the dark They don't want you to have any idea that World War three has started

But they know about these things This this buildup has been underway for years. I've been reporting on it Few people thought this would ever happen. I Hoped it wasn't going to happen, but it has happened. World War III has started. Another story we want to show you. This was in the mirror. This is today.

Yes, this is today. Vladimir Putin's destructive new Satan-2 nuclear missile is a grave threat to UK. Now, first of all, the Russians don't call this missile Satan 2, that's a CIA designation. That's part of propaganda. But you know, each country names its opponents of weapons, gives them names. Okay, so every time you hear about the Satan missile,

you think, you know, Putin is sitting over there in the Kremlin with the devil beside him, and Putin probably has horns and a tail, and he's got a whole arsenal of Satan missiles. No, that's not what they call them. But anyhow, we want to read today's London Mirror newspaper because some people in Great Britain are now very concerned about this second version of this Russian nuclear missile. Right. So Vladimir Putin's flagship Satan 2 nuclear missile is a grave threat to the UK, a U.S. defense officials warned. Last week, the tyrants, that's what they say, propagandists chill generally called for the British embassy's address in Moscow to be changed to Sarmat Square, the Russian name for Putin's most famous nuke.

The intercontinental ballistic missile has become the despot's main point of military pride, with him mentioning its destructive power at any given opportunity. The Satan-2 was first launched amid dramatic scenes on April 20th as it rose from an underground Russian silo surrounded by roaring flames. It came as Putin said the nuclear-capable missile would bolster Russia's security, making those fierce people who are trying to threaten it think twice. Now former senior staffer for the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Tom Moore, told the Mirror how the missile has thrown the U.S.-Russian military standoff back to the Cold War.

Mr. Moore explained the missile replaces the SS-18, which former Secretary of State James Baker called the hydra-headed monsters of the Cold War. And yes, Sarmat is a grave threat to the U.S. Now, this is him saying this, and the United War. And yes, Sarmat is a grave threat to the U.S. Now this is him saying this, and the United Kingdom. Mishmore went and said that the weapon is so destructive because it can carry a large number of nuclear devices and it has sophisticated means of delivery that may reside on the missile. It's not the amount of warheads the missile can carry, but the different kinds of weapons that can be attached that make it so dangerous. And that's the former senior staffer for the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee saying that. Do you remember last year,

some Russian official said that a very small number, and I'm hesitant to say what that number was, it was somewhere between one and five, of these Sarmat missiles could take out the state of Texas. Right. The entire state. And the point that they were making is we don't have to use very many of these missiles

to take out the state of Texas. Because it could carry two dozen warheads on it, that one missile alone. That's right. So they're paying attention in London about this. Now, this next one, this becomes even more chilling. This is London Mirror yesterday. Right. So you see the headline there,

Vladimir Putin's iron doll threatens nuclear strikes on London and yesterday. Right. So you see the headline there, Vladimir Putin's Iron Doll threatens nuclear strikes on London and Washington. We'll explain that here in the story. Vladimir Putin's Iron Doll TV propagandist Olga Shebeyeva has threatened NATO capitals, including London and Washington, with nuclear strikes. The head of Russia's state space agency Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, published satellite pictures and map coordinates of Downing Street, the White House, and NATO headquarters in Brussels, which Ms. Skabeea seized upon. Let's stop right there.

Folks, let this sink in. The head of the Russian space Agency, they're NASA, published satellite photographs and map coordinates of number 10 Downing Street, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the NATO headquarters in Brussels. What was the purpose of publishing the maps and the coordinates

other than to send a stark message to the West? These are the addresses of the decision-making centers that have sent weapons to Ukraine to kill Russians.

And the Russians have said repeatedly, we will strike at the decision-making centers. I don't know how much clearer they can make it, except coming out, we're going to shoot London, Washington, and Brussels. They've said, they've done everything except say that out loud. And those are the three that we've said. Yes. Those are the three targets that we've said the Russians are going to take out. The Pentagon, the White House, the NATO headquarters in Brussels, and number 10 Downing Street.

And so you have the head of the Russian space agency saying, Hey guys, look at this. These are the coordinates. Here are the satellite photographs of these buildings. One day they're not going to exist. But in this program where they had Rogozin on, where he showed the satellite maps, it went on to explain that the Russians actually have a timeline that they're looking at for a possible strike.

So the NATO summit opens in Madrid. This is number 36 for control, at which Western countries will declare Russia their worst enemy, said Rogozin. He also posted Russian military satellite images of the Pentagon, the LSA palace in Paris, and the German chancellery in Berlin. So those are additional targets, Rick. He also announced that giant Satan-2 hypersonic missiles

are now in mass production after just one successful test launch. A second test launch of the Sarmat Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, known in the West as Satan-2, was on schedule, he claimed. He continued, we have already started creating mass production missiles. We proceed from the fact that by the end of the year,

we will put on combat duty the first regiment in Uzer, Krasnoyarsk territory. The 208-ton Satan-2 hypersonic missile is capable of obliterating targets at nearly 16,000 miles per hour and is unstoppable. President Putin previously claimed and said it was due to be deployed by December. Rogozin, a close Putin affiliate, said while representatives of the 30 countries of the alliance, as well as partners and candidates,

deal with the strategic concept until 2030, Roscosmos published satellite photographs of the summit venue and the very decision centers that support Ukrainian nationalists. Wait a minute. The summit venue? Are you talking about where this week's NATO meeting is at? Yes. They published those, too.

Satellite photos of where the NATO meeting was. Biden, Macron, Boris Johnson, Trudeau. In other words, the message you're sending is, we could have struck you this week. Well, you all sat there. Yeah, the Russians were saying, we could have taken out all the leaders of the Western world while you sat there plotting how to destroy Russia.

But I think what Mr. Rogozin is also telling you, too, is we have a timeline and once again Rick, we're looking at the end of the year. He said we'll be up fully loaded, ready to be the bear instead of going after bear by the end of the year. When are we going to see energy

supplies disappear? By fall. And late winter. Yes. Late winter. This may be the Christmas that my family had a series of prophetic dreams back in 2010 11 and 12 and all those dreams a war was happening somewhere around Christmastime and in one dream that my daughter-in-law had, and she had just moved to the United States from Denmark. She and Jeremy had just gotten married. And she had a dream that, well, I'll tell you, now that I'm remembering this,

Suze and I went on a Sunday morning. Now, let me back this up. We had spent the night, a Saturday night. We spent Saturday night with Jeremy and Tiana. We stayed at their house. We slept there that night. In the morning, on Sunday morning, Tiana told me about the dream. The dream was, she said, it was Christmas time. She says,

but it wasn't Christmas day. It was Christmas, the Christmas season. And I said, well, Tiana, here in America, that's really the day after Thanksgiving to New Year's Day. That's the season. She says, all I know it was Christmas season and our family was at a party. It was a Christmas party. And an angelic being came into the party, walked straight to our family and said, this is it. There's no more time. You must leave now. And she said in the dream, we all knew what that message meant. She said in the dream,

my son Jeremy ran out of the party, went outside into the streets, searching for a boat that our family could get on because we're here in Florida. Searching for a boat that our family could get on, because we're here in Florida. Searching for a boat that we could just get on and just flee, get away quickly. And she said, in the dream, when he went outside, the city was on fire.

And it was impossible to find a boat. That was Sunday morning. She had that dream, late Saturday night, early Sunday morning she had that dream late Saturday night early Sunday morning we left their home drove here to Vero Beach and our daughter Carissa was living here in Vero Beach at that time

Jeremy and Tiana were living in Jupiter so we drove from Jupiter to Vero Beach and Sunday morning we arrived at Carissa's house and we were all going to go to church together. And I'm sitting in my vehicle outside of Carissa's home, waiting on her and her children to come out. And she came out of her house, walked up to my car, motioned for me to put my window down.

And she said, Dad, before we leave, I have to tell you something right now. I said, what is it? She said, all night long, I kept dreaming that we were searching. We were searching for a cave, a hole, anything to escape the flames that were burning up America. All night long, that's all I dreamed. Our family was running, searching for caves, for holes, anything to get away from the flames that had engulfed the country.

Back to back, two messages in one morning. You know why I'm doing this work? And this is why I've put up with all of the trouble, all of the abuse, the lies, the slander, the problems, the workload, the hours that I've put in. It's this reason to tell you that if America does not repent and turn to God, God is going to lift his hand of protection over this country and allow other nations to attack this country. It may be too late at this point, but it's not too late for you to get your life right with God. You and I may not live through this war. We may not make it. You have to consider the possibility we won't make it. And you also have to consider the possibility you won't want to make it.

Because I don't know what living in a post-nuclear war world looks like. I don't know if that's worth surviving. The main thing is you need to make sure your soul survives. Because your body may burn up, but your soul's not going to burn up. But on judgment day, your soul is going to go one place or the other. It is going to be with Jesus Christ in New Jerusalem, or you're going to be in the lake of fire.

And you won't be consumed. It's not that they're going to toss you into the fire and you're just going to burn up and that's it. No, you're just going to keep burning. Perpetually, forever, with no escape. What is in this world that's worth that risk? What does the devil offer in this world that's worth it? There's nothing. Nothing. He has nothing to offer. Get away from him. Renounce the devil. Renounce the devil. Renounce the devil's works.

Cry out to Christ to save you. Go somewhere this weekend and get baptized in water. Get this done. Get this taken care of. Tell your family that time is running out, that we're headed into World War III right now. And they may not be alive in January. They may laugh at you. You can't do anything about it. You can't do anything about it.

Your responsibility is to tell them, to prepare them. Let them make the decision. Let's pray. Father, Father, I pray. First of all, I pray that every single person watching me right now who is not saved will come under conviction of the Holy Spirit. And that this will be the hour that he or she makes the decision they're going to repent and be born again. That they're not going to procrastinate another day. I pray, Father, that the Holy Spirit will convict them and give them one more opportunity to come into your kingdom, to be baptized into your church. Father, I pray for the saints who

are watching me who are already saved and baptized. I pray that there's no fear on them, but I pray that there's boldness and that they would go forth in their world, among their friends, their associates, and proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord and boldly speak the truth about what they've heard today and that they would personally lead many lost souls to Christ. Father, I pray that your saints who yearn to see lost souls saved would open up their resources and give generously to those ministries

who are preaching repentance and the need for people to be born again. Father, we're running out of time and we've got to get the job done for your kingdom. Christ is coming back. And I just pray that a great sense of urgency would come upon your church and that the church would come alive

and be on fire with the Holy Spirit proclaiming that the Lord is coming. Your son is coming. And that people must be born again. They must be saved. This I pray in Jesus' name. Amen. Love you very much.

Now, tomorrow, which is Friday, and Monday, we're going to be closed here. Actually, there will be a few of us here, but we are still doing internal construction work on the building that is right across the hallway in the studio from us. Hopefully finishing up. Hopefully the contractors are going to finish it tomorrow they have figured out a problem and are coming here tomorrow and so we shut down everything and said you have the entire day you don't have to worry about stopping because of when we're doing our work here they can't work and so we said we're just going to give you the entire day to get in here and saw and pound and hammer and do whatever you got to do to get this building fixed. I've got a building inside a building. I got a two-story building that I'm

looking at right now. And God has provided for us. Why? Because we have a job to do. We have a job to do. And I'm not stopping. I'm going to keep going. He said, well, Rick, what if this war happens in December? Well, it'll get burned up. What about it? The whole thing is going to burn up. What is it? Look, be busy. I keep, Jesus said, engage in business until I come.

Maybe we'll get a reprieve. Maybe we'll get an extended time. Be engaged in business until he comes. In what business? The soul winning business. Be engaged in the soul winning business until he comes. And that's why I just keep building. I keep expanding because there are more souls that need to be reached.

So for Friday and Monday, we have prerecorded programs, and you don't want to miss them. They're very, very powerful programs. And then Doc and I will be back here on Tuesday with a new live show. God bless. We'll see you then. God bless you. Thank you for watching Rick Wiles Today.
