Hebrew University professor Yuval Harari warned that artificial intelligence already has the ability to hack humans. He also believes that it will soon create a new religion with its own Bible written by artificial intelligence. Doc Burkhardt is here with me to discuss these bold warnings

and projections into the future. We're going to take a look at a newspaper article from India, the Indian Express. Yeah, of course, we've had our own encounters with Mr. Harari at various events, particularly in Switzerland and so at Davos. And so we've sat just five foot away from him. Well, no, actually I had a one-on-one conversation with him. He was a very nice person to talk to. It was very easy to approach and ask him for an interview. He gave us maybe a 15, 20-minute interview. He's got some very far-fetched ideas, but you have to take him seriously. He's a historian who's a futurist.

Yes. That seems like contradictory, but he projects the future based upon what he observes in history. Right. So he's a professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. This Indian Express headline, Yuval Harari, paints a grim picture of the AI age, roots for safety checks. So the Indian Express reported that Yuval Noah Harari, known for his nonfiction book, Sapiens, A Brief History of Mankind. In his latest article in The Economist, he said that artificial intelligence has hacked the operating system of human civilization already. So in his latest article, he argues that the fear of artificial intelligence has haunted humanity ever since the beginning of the computer age.

However, he said that the newly emerged AI tools in recent years could threaten the survival of human civilization from an unexpected direction. So he demonstrated how AI could impact culture by talking about language, which is integral to human culture. He said that language is the stuff almost all human culture is made of.

Human rights, for example, aren't inscribed in our DNA. Rather, they are cultural artifacts we created by telling stories and writing laws. Gods aren't physical realities. Rather, they are cultural artifacts we created by inventing myths and writing scriptures. I think it's safe to say Mr. Harari is an atheist. He is an atheist. And so it's safe to say Mr. Harari is an atheist. He is an atheist. And so he makes no bones about that, that he believes that we created God and gods.

But the question is, as we were leading off, can artificial intelligence hack humanity? And has it already hacked humanity? And he is making really the presupposition that we're already on the journey of being hacked by artificial intelligence. Doug, these remarks that he made, this just happened this week, I think yesterday,

and it was at a scientific technology conference. There's no video available. I tried to find video. Attendance was by invitation only. You could not buy a ticket to go there. Invitation only. So in other words, the conference was for a closed inner circle of the elite. They wanted a certain group of people

to hear messages coming from people like Mr. Harari. However, Mr. Harari gave an interview to a podcast about a month ago in which he talked about some of these same things about has AI already hacked the human humanity? Has it already happened? And he makes some very astounding and disturbing claims to back up his belief that the hacking has already happened. Let's watch this interview. We are increasingly seeing corporations, governments, acquiring the ability to hack a human being. What does it mean to hack a human being? It means to understand me better than I understand myself,

to be able to predict my feelings, my thoughts, my choices, and increasingly also to manipulate them because if you can predict my feelings and choices you also know how to manipulate me what do you need in order to do this you need a lot of data a lot of information and a lot of computing power yes now previously in history nobody had that even if you think about somebody like Stalin in the Soviet Union, he wanted to follow everybody all the time but he couldn't. He didn't have the technology. In the Soviet Union you can

put a KGB agent to follow somebody all the day but there are 200 million people in the Soviet Union. You don't have 200 million KGB agents and even if you do have 200 million agents what do they do they work that they follow me all day they write a report at the end of the day on some piece of paper they send it to headquarters in Moscow somebody needs to read 200 million papers every day and interpret what. I interpret what that means, yes. It's impossible. Yes. So it was impossible to hack everybody like this. Now it is becoming possible. You don't need a KGB agent to follow you. You have the agent in your own pocket.

Your smartphone, your computer, somebody else's computer or smartphone follows you, collects data on you all the time. And also you don't need human analysts to read all these papers, you have algorithms that analyze the information. So it is possible now for the first time in history to completely annihilate privacy, to follow everybody all the time, To know more about me than I know about myself and this is very frightening This is extremely dangerous You know, it can be used for some good purposes like providing us with better health care alerting us

Look, there is this disease starting. Let's try to take care of it when it's still very easy But it can be used to create the worst totalitarian regimes in human history, something far more extreme than anything we have seen in the Soviet Union or in communist China or in Nazi Germany. Again, it's not regulations, by building the right technologies. That's one of the biggest choices we face as humans today. And it's especially important that the young people are aware of it, because they are very often online all the time all those social life and they should realize that all this immense amount of information on me i'm giving it yes to these corporations or

to the government and what will they do with it and also it's not just the information I give, it's also the information I take in, that we are now flooded by enormous amounts of information, which again, AI and algorithms are kind of manipulating, using it to manipulate how we think. You know, it's like, you know, like you play piano. So now these algorithms are learning how to play on our emotional system how to generate hatred how to generate fear in people's minds so you know people are sometimes very careful about what they eat the food that goes into their body they should be equally careful about what they feed their minds.

We need an information diet for the mind. Doc, he's got some very unique but very disturbing views on how far AI has already gone. We ought to be thinking about the information that we are bringing into our mind right now because the data is being collected for the purpose of manipulating your life. But the thing is, Rick, if that's the case,

how do we know we're not already being manipulated? We are being manipulated. By artificial intelligence already. Yes. You know, I brought this... It's probably been going on for a while. Yes.

Because we're just getting the retail version of AI right now. Yes. The military version of AI has been around for a while. Well, you'll see in another video that we're going to play in a few minutes, the man who's known as kind as the godfather of AI, I believe Dr. Hinton, the one who resigned from Google. And when the reporter asked him about his,

what was your reaction when ChatGPT was released? And he goes, you know, I've seen other AI for a long time, you know. The way he was saying it was like, what you, the public, are seeing right now is not what I saw years ago. Right. So I believe governments have been using AI and have been using AI to disrupt our societies, to divide us, to manipulate us, to deceive us, to push us into, as a society, into going to directions that we don't want to go. There's so many odd, weird things going on in our country

which don't make sense unless somebody is following a script that was generated by an ai intelligence that responded with saying if ai was asked a question if you want to introduce a new society, how do you end the current society? Without destroying it. Well, they want to destroy it. How do you systematically destroy it? Well, we'd be following the script that seems like we have been for the past several years. That's the point I'm making.

I think AI has been used on the American people for decades. But Dr. O'Rourke is making some very profound statements. In this next article, this is the Daily Mail, and this is still based on this speech that he gave, I believe, yesterday. He says the world is on the verge of a new contemporary religion started by AI writing its own sacred text. Now think about this. The Daily Mail is reporting that Israeli historian Yuval Harari believes that the world is on the verge of a new religion created by artificial intelligence.

The academic known for his best-selling book, Sapiens, said software such as ChatGPT could attract worshipers by writing its own sacred text. Now, speaking at a science conference, he said artificial intelligence had crossed a new frontier by gaining mastery of our language and was now capable of using it to shape human culture. He said, in the future, we might see the first cults and religions in history whose revered texts were written by non-human intelligence. Of course, religions throughout history claimed that their holy books were written by unknown human intelligence.

This was never true before. This could become true very, very quickly with far-reaching consequences. And contrary to what some conspiracy theories assume, you don't really need to implant chips in people's brains in order to control them or to manipulate them. He said, for thousands of years, prophets and poets and politicians have used language and storytelling in order to manipulate and to control people and to reshape society. Now AI is likely to be able to do it. And once it can, it doesn't need to send killer robots to shoot us. It can get humans to pull the trigger. And they're already doing it.

Doc, I could see in the not-too-far-distant future where the Holy Bible will be completely rewritten by AI. And there will be old- timers telling young people, that's not the Bible. That's different. It's been changed. And younger people will say, that's not true. You're a conspiracy theorist.

This is the Bible anymore. It'll all be digital. If you don't have a physical Bible in your hand, how are you going to prove that the Bible wasn't altered? You know what the Mandela effect is. Have you all heard Mandela effect? There are strange things. You ask me, hey, Rick, did so-and-so, some celebrity, some famous person, did they do this or that in the 1960s?

Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Are you sure? Oh, yeah, I remember it. And then you go online and you read they didn't do it. That's not true. I remember it. Doc? And not only do you remember it, other people remember it too.

Lots of people remember it, but the online narrative of history has been changed. And they're messing with us. They're gaslighting us. Because they know that people know that they've done it. It's a gaslighting effect. They're messing with our minds. They're causing us to be emotionally troubled and disturbed. And to question even the reality that we observe.

Yes, to question everything. So I've seen this. I've got a very good memory. And I have seen things where I've said, that is absolutely not true. I remember this event. I remember it very clearly. And yet what's online as the history of that event has been changed. It's AI. They're reshaping our perception of history and reality. And if they can do that, Doc, they'll change the future. Right. And that's what you can do with AI.

And this is what Mr. Harari, who is an atheist, he's saying there's going to be a new religion. There's going to be a new Bible. It's not going to be a Christian Bible. It's going to be a new Bible. It's not going to fast as what they projected it was going to be. You and I were in conferences five, seven years ago. They were just sold on it, that we were going to be shopping in the metaverse and working in the metaverse.

It hasn't moved as fast as they expect, but it will. It will grow. But I can see people having religious experiences in virtual reality. I believe Satan will appear to people in virtual reality, not as the devil, but as an angel of light. I believe people will have fake born again experiences in virtual reality. I believe that they will seek them out. I believe that they will be baptized in virtual reality, but they'll be baptized into the church of Satan, not knowing what's happening. I believe that Lucifer, it will mimic the church of God, the Christian church, I believe he'll mimic it in virtual reality and give people a fake religious experience, including baptism. But they will not be baptized in water under Christ. They're going to be baptized in Satan's name,

even though they're not going to use Satan's name. I believe the deception is going to be so great that a vast number of people are going to be deceived and fall for this stuff because artificial intelligence is going to change the concept of history, the present, and the future. You know, there's a scripture that talks about being willfully ignorant, where it says that people would refuse knowing the truth, willfully refuse to know the truth, and willingly accept a

lie, because they like the lie better than the truth. They choose to believe a lie. Yes. And what happens to them? They fall into depravity at that point. And God sends them a delusion. Yes, a delusion. Yes.

A false reality. Yes. Wow, think about that. He sends it to them. He goes, you want to believe a lie? Here's a lie, believe it. And what is the metaverse other than a false reality? It's a false reality.

It's a lie. Yes. So you could have people in the years ahead who are going to believe that they have some type of salvation that they experienced in virtual reality. And there will be something going on. I believe that people will think that they've been filled with the Holy Spirit

and they will receive a demonic indwelling. They'll have genuine religious experiences, spiritual experiences. In virtual reality. In virtual reality. And they'll seek them out. That's right. And we haven't even talked about

what AI is going to do to pornography oh my goodness all right so ai you will be able to create any sexual experience you can imagine and ai will generate it for you in virtual reality. That's where we're going. Anything that the human heart can imagine, AI will deliver in virtual reality. It's almost like in the days of Noah. Their minds were absorbed with wickedness continually. Yes, yes. Maybe they had the technology back then. We don't know what level of technology that they had.

I want to go to number nine. This is New York Times. The godfather of AI quit Google to warn humanity of the danger ahead with artificial intelligence. So the New York Times is reporting that the Google executive known as the father of artificial intelligence

now has second thoughts about his life's work. Jeffrey Hinton, who you see there, was an artificial intelligence pioneer. In 2012, Dr. Hinton and two of his graduate students at the University of Toronto created technology that became the intellectual foundation for the artificial intelligence systems that most of the tech industry's biggest companies believe is a key to their future. On Monday, however, he officially joined a growing chorus of critics who say those companies are racing toward danger with their aggressive campaign to create products based on generative artificial intelligence, the technology that powers popular chatbots like ChatGPT.

Now, Dr. Hinton said he has quit his job at Google, where he has worked for more than a decade and has become one of the most respected voices in the field, so he can freely speak out about the risk of artificial intelligence. A part of him, he said, now regrets his life's work. I console myself with the normal excuse, if I hadn't done it, somebody else would have, Dr. Hinton said during a lengthy interview last week. Now, Dr. Hinton's journey from AI groundbreaker to doomsayer marks a remarkable moment for the technology industry at perhaps its most important inflection point in decades.

Industry leaders believe the new AI systems could be as important as the introduction of the web browser in the early 1990s and could lead to breakthroughs in areas ranging from drug research to education. But gnawing at many industry insiders is a fear that they are releasing something dangerous into the wild. Generative AI can already be a tool for misinformation. Soon, it could be a risk to jobs. Somewhere down the line, tech's biggest warriors say it could be a risk to humanity itself. It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors

from using it for bad things, Dr. Hinton said. As with any tool that mankind has created, whether it's using rocks to dig a hole in the ground to AI. If Hitler had artificial intelligence, would he have used it? Of course he would have. If Stalin had artificial intelligence, would he have used it? Yes. All right, so any evil political leader wanting more power would use it. And so we have plenty of evil political leaders on Earth today, and they are using it.

And they're salivating at the thought of the power that they could hold over 7 billion people. Dr. Hinton gave an interview, I think it was CBS News, was it CBS? I believe so. I believe it was CBS. We got a short clip of that interview. Let's watch it. The man widely seen as the godfather of artificial intelligence has quit his job at Google, warning of the dangers of AI. Dr. Jeffrey Hinton's pioneering research on deep learning and neural networks has paved the way for current AI systems like chat GPT. But in a lengthy interview with the New York Times,

Dr. Hinton said he now regretted his work and is worried that AI technology will flood the internet with misinformation. Google responded in a statement saying, we remain committed to a responsible approach to AI. Dr Hinton has been telling the BBC how these systems can know so much. The kind of intelligence we're developing is very different from the intelligence we have. We're biological systems, and these are digital systems. And the big difference is that with digital systems, you have many copies of the same set of weights, the same model of the world. And all these copies can learn separately but share their knowledge instantly. So it's as if

you had 10,000 people and whenever one person learned something, everybody automatically knew it. And that's how these chatbots can know so much more than any one person. Well, Dr Hinton also told the BBC the rate of progress is worrying. Right now, what we're seeing is things like GPT-4 eclipses a person in the amount of general knowledge it has, and Eclipse is in by a long way. In terms of reasoning, it's not as good, but it does already do simple reasoning. And given the rate of progress, we expect things to get better quite fast. So we need to worry about that.

Right now, they're not more intelligent than us, as far as I can tell. But I think they soon may be. So my correction, it was BBC. I watched another interview with him that was on CBS. And in that interview, he talked about AI not only telling jokes, but telling you why the joke was funny, which he said. It bothered him because there was reasoning. How can you explain this? It's not only just repeating, you know, AI has access to all the jokes in the world,

okay? That's easy to understand. But when it tells you why that particular joke makes people laugh, how does AI know that? And so the debate right now is, the place that it's aware? Like a fake living? Is it thinking? That's what scares people. Even if it isn't aware, if it acts as if it is aware,

then what's the difference? There's no difference between the two, right? Because from our perception, from a human perception, whether it's real or whether it's a fake awareness, we're observing it as an awareness. That's kind of a mind twister there. One of the things that really impresses me about artificial intelligence,

even at the smallest retail version that we have, is the ability to come up with genuine, original ideas using, you know, a whole bunch of information. Like one day, just for fun, I sent you over a poem. I asked one of the AI systems out there, write a poem about a duck, a friendship between a duck and a dog. Just, you know, a poem. And it came out with an eight-verse poem describing in detail this friendship

that a duck and a dog had. That's right. And it actually... It was funny. It was funny. It was compelling. And it was also scary because I couldn't have come up with that poem.

No, not at all. I'm a pretty creative guy, but I couldn't have come up with that poem. No, not at all. I'm a pretty creative guy, but I couldn't have come up with that. All right, so I'll tell you something we did today, okay, and how we're using AI. And I don't think there's a problem with using AI right now in its current state. What all of us are concerned about is

what is this thing going to be doing two, three, five years from now, ten years from now? Right. So I had to create a job description that we want to place on the Internet to hire a professional. So I went online and I found about seven or eight similar positions at other companies. And one of our employees then fed that into AI and put our name in and told AI to write a job description for our organization based on the skills that were in these seven or eight job postings. And it came back perfectly written. This is amazing. This is amazing what's happening.

So it's a tool that right now is changing how work is being done in the workplace. We have to pay attention. It is being used. Listen, we're running out of time right now on this first half of True News. If you're watching on the Word Network, you got to switch over to our app or the website, truenews.com, and just stay tuned. We'll be back in 30 seconds.

Well, Genesis' announcement is perfect for our next segment because we're going to be talking about the economy. But I want to follow up on what I was saying at the end of the other program,

and that is the way it's being used right now, talking about artificial intelligence, the way it's being used right now, just in artificial intelligence, the way it's being used right now, just in the first several months that it's been available to the public, I believe AI will have the most, it will have a more profound effect on society and on business

and on our lifestyles than the introduction of the internet had in the 1990s. Well, I'll just use one story today. One story today. I don't know if you ever heard of CHEGG, C-H-E-G-G. It's an online tutoring and course training outlet. Lots of people use it for, not for homeschooling, but for individual training, tutoring, helping kids with math and things like that. Well, today their shares on Wall Street dropped 40% in one day, one day, because it said that chat GPT is killing its business. So in an investor's call, I guess last night, the CEO had said, we are not being impacted in the first quarter by chat GPT,

but since the 1st of March, and he's saying this, since the 1st of March, we have seen an incredible drop-off of requests for our product because people are turning to ChatGPT for the service they provide. That's an example. This is what I'm talking about. Right, so in one day...

Radical change in business, in lifestyle, in how we're performing our work, Doc. That is a perfect example. There's a company that's going to go out of business quickly. Not a slow descent. It's going to be a rapid descent. Whereas the introduction of the Internet, it was a slow kill of brick-and-mortar businesses. It was a slow kill.

AI is going to do a quick kill. And not only of businesses, but of professions, of jobs. It changed completely. I mean, most, I guess most jobs, especially in the tech sector and the information sector, their data and information positions, those are ripe for the picking for artificial intelligence. The one task that I just talked about. So we're creating some positions that we have to fill. And then you have to have a well-written job description to post on various online sites like Indeed and LinkedIn and other places where people go to find job openings.

So somebody in that organization has to spend time. Somebody in the human resources department, we don't have an HR department. We're a small organization. We don't have a big HR department where I can assign that task to somebody. But if I did, somebody would have to spend, what, maybe an hour looking at what other companies, how other companies describe that job, what the skill level is, the work history, the duties, the responsibilities. And then match that up with what we desire in the position and the skills and everything that we need. And then write it in a way that it's professional

than to submit it to a job platform. Which means we have to hire somebody to do that and to perform that function. Yes, so maybe one to three hours involved. I would guess today, or I would say, Doc, the time I spent searching for those job titles to give to AI, I spent more time looking for the examples

than AI spent writing the job description for us. I probably spent, you know, 10 minutes, 10, 15 minutes. You know, I was pretty fast at it. I knew what I was looking for. And I would just scan and see something, copy, paste, tell AI, this is what we want.

But AI shot it back in like 30 seconds, written with our name on it. Yes. How do you match that? If you're an employer, what do you do? You have to ask. I mean, any employer would have to ask. People don't raise their jobs because of this. Hey, I can save money by using this. And that's going to be the bottom line of things. And I still remember we were in our own conversation about it. And I mentioned, hey, you forgot that we like coffee here. And then it rewrote the description to include, hey, you have to have a love for coffee. And so, you know, it was, once again, you know, it is going to be a major shift in technology and culture for us. And most employers are right now just in the very beginning stages of figuring out how to use it.

I mean, I just got a text yesterday from a businessman who said, hey, Rick, have you ever heard of chat GPT? You see, he just discovered it. It's been out for a couple of months, but he just heard of ChatGPT? He just discovered it. It's been out for a couple of months, but he just heard about it yesterday. The learning curve is still, it's going to be many, many months until business owners realize this service is now available.

But once a majority of business owners know about the presence of AI and that they can use it, most of them know about AI. They just don't know they can use it. Right, don't know that it's available to them. Right. But by the end of this year and going into 24, most business owners will know that they can use AI. High school students know how to use it.

Yes. And Chegg is an example of that. Teachers know how to use it. Yeah. So teachers are using it to create lesson plans, and then students are using it to do the homework. Yes. Think about that. So you've got one side of the equation here, making the lesson plans, creating the homework and the other side, finishing the homework. That's right. So one of our employees who I think is the most

progressive in using AI for us, He just experimented the other day and just said, he told AI, I want to create a course in this subject material. It instantly gave him the course. Doc, it was so fast. It laid out a perfect outline to teach that course. Well, how do you compete against this? How does a human compete?

The point I'm making is there will be a lot of people who will lose their jobs this year because of AI. A boatload will lose their jobs next year. By year three, it's going to be... It's going to be devastating. Yes.

Okay. You have to learn how to ride the wave. You have to learn how. You have to be the one who's using AI. You have to think ahead of AI and be the one in your company that's using it, that's showing your company you know how to use this tool. If not, you're going to be pushed aside.

You're going to be swept aside like a flood. And this is the biggest change that is going to hit society, like I said, since the 1990s. But I think it's bigger than the Internet. I mean, Google, right now Google is suffering. Yes. Financially suffering. I mean, it's not like they're panhandling right now. Because of chat GPT.

But they're laying off tens of thousands of people. They put a ban on buying office supplies. Think about it. Google is prohibiting the purchase of office supplies. Their advertising sales are down. Something's happening. Google is behind in the race with AI. And you could see large corporations disappear.

The internet in the 90s, very big corporations suddenly disappeared over, when I say suddenly, over a couple of years, they just disappeared. Other corporations started very small and became big. Amazon started very small. When Amazon started, Sears and Roebuck was very big. Montgomery Ward was still around.

Montgomery Ward was very big. Where are they today? You ask most of the people here in the office. They don't even know those brand names. They don't know. Never heard of them. Never heard of them. These changes are going to take place now. But this time it's going to be faster than the introduction of the Internet.

AI is going to speed up everything. And I know a lot of people are nervous about it. Look, I don't like it, but I'm not afraid. I'll tell you why I'm not afraid. Because the Lord Jesus Christ is my Savior. I'm not afraid. Because the Lord Jesus Christ is my Savior. I'm not afraid. We have a job to do, you and I. As believers, as saints of God, we have a job.

AI has not caught God by surprise. Yeah, he's not sitting up in heaven going, doggone it, They outsmarted me. But the Lord will have his people use AI for the sake of the gospel. And when AI becomes too big and too powerful and too destructive, well, I believe at that point, the Lord Jesus Christ is going to come back.

So I'm not going to be afraid and nervous. I'm not going to sit up at night having scary thoughts about AI. It is what it is. It's here. There would be some out there, though, Rick, that would say that we should avoid it entirely and don't mess with it at all. Don't even use it.

That's probably a smart thing, Doc. But we should have done that with nuclear weapons. Right. But they're here, aren't they? We didn't. We built nuclear weapons. So now we have a new thing called AI. And left uncontrolled, it's going to be very destructive.

I'm not denying its potential for destruction. I'm saying it's not going to destroy me. I'm not afraid of the devil. Right. It's just that simple. I'm not bragging. I'm just not afraid of the devil because I know who I am and I know who I serve. I know who saved me. And I know who protects me. And so I'm not going to walk in fear. And another aspect of this, too, is, you know, people would be saying, well, what if AI fools us? What if it's tricking us? Well, as believers, we have the Holy Spirit.

And the Holy Spirit resides in us when we have the discernment of the Spirit to walk in truth, walk in the Spirit. And we also have the Word of God, too. That's right. As long as the Word of God is undisturbed, we still have that as the benchmark, if you will, the guide that we have so we can walk faithfully in the service of the Lord

in spite of the lies. There have always been lies in the world. That's right. But there's never been a the Lord in spite of the lies. There have always been lies in the world. That's right. But there's never been a more important time to know the truth. Amen. If you have the truth in you and the truth is Jesus Christ, his word, if you have the word of God in you, you're not going to be deceived. You will know it's a lie. The Holy Spirit will give you discernment. Amen. So don't fear this introduction of AI, but be aware major changes are happening right now.

Life is not going to be the same three, four years from now as it is right now. But whatever it is, five years from now, that will be the new normal. That's right. That's what we've seen, isn't it? New normals. The new normal.

And it's progressing every single day. That's right. All right, so let's get into the economy. And before we get talking about the economy, I want to talk about God's economy. There's a kingdom of light and there's a kingdom of darkness. And both kingdoms have economic systems.

And to succeed in either one, you've got to be all the way in that kingdom. If you're in the kingdom of light, the kingdom of God, if you are all the way in light, the kingdom of God, if you are all the way in, what do I mean by that? You got a single eye. You have a single eye.

You have single vision. Jesus talks about the single eye. You don't have double vision. You have single eye. If you're all the way in to the kingdom of God and Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior and you're not wavering, you're not playing with the world,

God's economic system will kick in for your life and you will prosper. You will be taken care of. You will get through whatever comes your way. God will take care of you. You know why? Because he's a good father and he's a good king. And good kings watch out for the welfare of their subjects.

In a monarchy, you hear about the commonwealth. King Charles has a commonwealth. What is the real meaning of a commonwealth? The wealth of the common people. The king is in charge of the commonwealth, all of his subjects. He's responsible for them to have a good life. Our King Jesus Christ is King of the Commonwealth, of the Kingdom of God. And he personally, King Jesus, is responsible and cares about your economic affairs,

the affairs of your life. He cares. Now, what do you have to do? You have to be all the way into his system. Right. And you have to conduct your economic affairs according to his kingdom laws. On the other hand,

Satan has an economic system. And you've got to be all the way into his system. And if you are, he'll bless you. Doc, the devil blesses people. He does. He makes them rich. He makes them rich and famous. A lot of these celebrities, they go down to the crossroads

and they make the deal with the devil and they become famous. Sometimes at the crossroadsroads they get musical skills. People that can't sing go to the crossroads and when they leave the crossroads they can sing. And some that go to the crossroads who can't act and after they leave they still can't act but they get famous. They get famous. And the devil will make his people rich and famous. He'll bless them. But here's the thing about the devil.

He'll take you up and then when you're not ready for it, he'll slam you to the ground and laugh at you. He'll give you everything you've dreamed about and then he'll take it away from you and destroy your life. Jesus Christ will never do that. At the end of your life, Jesus will give you more life. Satan at the end of your life, he'll give you more death. So you got two economic systems. And right now the world is changing faster, bigger, wider than anything humanity has ever seen. The United States is changing. Faster, bigger, wider than anything humanity has ever seen. The United States is changing. Our economic system is breaking, cracking up. Our political system is cracking

up and breaking. New alliances are forming in the world. A new world order is forming. God's people will prosper regardless of where they live geographically. Now, their geographic location will have an impact on them, but God will still make sure his people prosper. Satan will bless his people too. What am I saying to you? This is not the time to be straddling the fence.

One foot in the kingdom of light, one foot in the kingdom of darkness. You got to go all the way. You got to pick which side and then go all the way if you're going to make it in this environment that we're in. If you want to serve the devil,

serve him and do it with gusto. But if you're going to serve God, do it with all your might. Whatever your hand does, let it be done with all your might. Do it with enthusiasm. The Lord will bless. One of the things that God requires

in the kingdom of light, in his economic system, the things that God requires in the kingdom of light and his economic system, the main thing he requires is faith. He requires faith and obedience. Without faith, it's impossible to please God. He loves a cheerful giver. He says that don't be deceived. Whatever man sows, that shall he reap. That's good and bad. You sow bad things, you're going to reap bad things. You sow good things, you're going to reap good things. That's the law of God.

He says don't mock God. I'm telling you, this is the law of the universe. You can't change it. This is the time to become a generous giver to the kingdom of God. God doesn't need your money up there. It's worthless. He doesn't need Federal Reserve notes in heaven.

But his people that do his work on earth need them. And whatever country you're in, the currency that's used there, the people that are doing God's work in those countries need the currency of the country. And God's promise is, if you are involved with him, he's involved with you.

And whatever you give, he shall give unto you. Press down, shaking together and running over. He'll abundantly bless you. Your opportunity is to support True News right now in the month of May. This is our anniversary month, May. The first program that I did was May 24, 1999.

So May is always a very important month to me. This is the beginning of this ministry in 1999. And I was doing internet streaming and MP3 files in 1999. I was a pioneer in internet media. When nobody else was doing anything like this, we got started with the blessing of God. And here we are today. We're still obeying him.

And a lot of you have been blessing us along the way. And God has been blessing you. So I'm making you, I'm giving you an invitation to step into God's economic system and become a cheerful, generous giver. This month, send something to True News. Give us an anniversary gift.

We have every intention to keep going. We have some exciting plans. and strengthen this ministry. We have every intention to keep going. We have some exciting plans. There's some things that are about to be brought out.

And that's why I sent a poll to a lot of you. Others, you will receive a poll later this week. If you're on our mailing list, you'll get the poll. If you're not on the mailing list, go to the bottom of the page of truenews.com and put your email in there, and you'll get the poll questions, the survey. Right. And we want to hear your opinion about some things. You know, Rick, we've been around for 25 years. Within the past week, two stories of two secular outlets that have gone bye-bye.

BuzzFeed News and now Vice. And these were leading really social media-driven sites. Well-funded. And had money behind them and everything. And now, poof, they're both gone. We had some... One particular former employee several years ago, he was always pressuring me, Rick, you need to change True News and become just like Vice.

And I said, I don't hear the Lord telling me that. And he says, Vice is the winner. You need to change True News and just create a true news version of vice. I said, but I'm not hearing the Lord tell me to do that. Well, vice filed for bankruptcy today. That's right. And that guy's not an employee here anymore. And I'm here and it's my anniversary.

So guess who's right? Okay. We're solvent. You know why we're solvent? Because we're all the way into God's economic system. That's why we're solvent. I'm always getting people tell me, you got to do this, do this, do this. No, I just stay a straight line. Single, single vision. Remain, look, we're a turtle ministry. There are others that go faster than me, but they don't go as far as me.

I've seen people go a lot faster than me, Doc, and then they just fall off the road, and an old turtle just goes past them. And you look over and go, what happened? All right, just stay focused on what God has called you to do. Be consistent and diligent and faithful every day and do it for a quarter of a century and you will be successful. God rewards faithfulness. He rewards obedience. He rewards

generosity. He rewards mercy and grace. Just do all the good things that God says to do, and God will pour out goodness on your life. You don't have to go buy some book about 10 ways to unlock the riches of heaven. You don't have to do it. It's all in this book. There are no secrets. He wrote it down and gave it away.

There are no secrets. Just do what's in the book. I'll show you really quickly. We're going to go through some economic headlines. I'm not going to go deep into the story. So first one, this is number 14, Financial Times. This is today. First Republic Rescue Fails to Arrest Slide

in U.S. regional bank shares. So the stock prices of regional banks were down today, Doc, about 20 to 25 percent. Right. A little recovery in the afternoon, but generally it landed somewhere around there. Well, this is the day after a bailout. Yes. So you know what happened yesterday. This is the next story. And we'll take a look at this from Wall Street Journal from yesterday.

This is number 15. First Republic Bank is seized, sold to J.P. Morgan, and second largest U.S. bank failure in the history of the United States, says Wall Street Journal. That happened Sunday night, Monday morning. Right.

Right? They thought that would calm the markets. Today it didn't calm the markets. No. Because people Sunday night, Monday morning. They thought that would calm the markets. Today, it didn't calm the markets because people said, wait a minute, that's the second biggest bank failure in the history of the United States. Maybe these banks aren't real stable. I know a bank that's stable, the Central Bank of Heaven. They've never been bailed out. They've never been insolvent. So President Biden yesterday said, you know, we're working to correct the crisis that's going on. And he didn't call it a crisis. He just said, we're working with the banks and everything's fine. And, you know, it's candy and lollipops and everything. Jamie Dimon yesterday said, hey, I don't have to worry about

it. This part of the crisis is over. It is for him because the biggest bank just became even bigger by acquiring First Republic. That's right. So yeah, for him, the first part of the crisis is over. The second part of the crisis he needs to worry about is the lawsuit that's going on with him regarding Jeffrey Epstein. We're going to show you two more.

Number 19, this was a Cointelegraph cryptocurrency publication I read. And it says, First Republic's crisis is not an isolated incident. And this was a statement from an executive at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which is interesting because his boss, Jamie Dimon, is saying the crisis is over. And this gentleman that works for Jamie Dimon says,

no, the seizure of First Republic, that's not an isolated incident. Let's read this and then we'll watch this. The gentleman is Bob Michelle. Bob Michelle. And this was a April 27 interview on Bloomberg television. And he is the chief investment officer of J.P. Morgan Asset Management. This is what he said about the seizure of First Republic. Good morning. Good morning.

Do we have a First Republic problem or a banking problem? Well, I think we have both. And I think it's somewhat naive to say that this is just limited to First Republic. If you step back and think about it, this should never have happened. This went after the most heavily regulated capitalized industry on the planet, banking. And the regional banking system, I think, is quite vital to the U.S. So I think it is a crisis. I think the regional banks are heavily dependent on the FDIC. They're heavily dependent on the Federal Home Loan Bank to get additional cash. We don't know how they're going to operate when those two programs expire.

And that was on Friday. Yes, before the seizure. Right. By Sunday morning, well, Sunday afternoon, I guess, First Republic had been seized and the deal was already in place because they were shopping around from the reports I read Friday night,

all day Saturday, to see who was going to pick up First Republic, if anyone would. J.P. Morgan stepped in, and they're not calling it a bailout, but they're splitting the bailout, if you will. J.P. Morgan's going to take half. The feds are going to take half in basically bailing out the depositors. The assets still have to be divvied up yet and how they're going to do that. How many more banks are going to go under this year? I've been saying, Doug, that what we're in right now is a repeat of the stagflation cycle of the 1970s and 80s. It ended in 1992 when the dot-com boom started.

Right, and that flushed out basically the savings and loan industry. That's a good point. I mean, that wiped it out. Savings and loans started in the 50s and 60s providing low- to middle-income families with the ability to finance homes, vehicles. Have you been to an SNL lately?

No, I still remember the old HFCs and all those different companies that no longer exist. Young viewers are watching us right now saying, what's a savings and loan? Yeah. What's an SNL? They got wiped out by the last financial storm, which was the 1970s and 80s. And it's my view that we are experiencing a repeat of that cycle. It was basically about a 15-year cycle of inflation and stagnation. But it wiped out the savings and loan industry. And it wiped out a lot of retailers like Montgomery Ward and Woolworth and others. But it also brought in new ones like Home Depot.

So you're going to see these changes that are taking place right now. But we're looking out over the next 10 years. If you're young and you're just in the stage of building your career, learn from history. Glean all the information and wisdom that you can get from older people that saw those things and can impart to you insight about what happened and why it happened and how this is going to play out over the next 10, 15 years. And then most of all, pray and be totally inside the kingdom of God's economic system. Doc, I was a young Christian and I was dumb and stupid and naive and foolish and everything else. But I quickly became a giver.

Thank God. The one thing I did right as a Christian when I was in my 20s and my 30s, which was during that stagflation period, was I quickly became a giver. And I believe that my giving carried me through that economic storm because I didn't have enough sense to do anything right. Okay. Well, I can feel your pain. All right. I didn't

have enough sense to do anything. I didn't have anybody tell me what to do right, but I did know to give and God kept my little family going. And we went through some hard times, but we never went hungry. We had some challenges, but we always got through it. God was faithful. And there are going to be some economic storms ahead and you need to be a giver, not a one-time giver, not a two-time giver. You need to be a giver all the time, the rest of your life. Make it a lifestyle. Then when you're old, you look back and you go, God, it's so good. Oh, he's been so good to me. He's been so faithful.

He's been so good. That's how he takes care of his children. I love you very much. We'll be back here tomorrow. And watch Morning Manna. we'll be back here tomorrow and watch morning manna we've just started a series about the second coming of jesus christ we're we're teaching from uh final day by the way final day is the number one book on amazon in eschatology the study of the prophecy, the coming of the Lord.
