TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Zelensky Rejects President Trump’s Plan to Own Ukrainian Energy Assets

Episode Date: March 20, 2025

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for the United States to take ownership of Ukraine’s power plants as a security measure against Russian attacks. Trump suggested that U.S. control over Ukraine’s energy infrastructure could serve as a deterrent, but Zelensky firmly stated that Ukraine’s power facilities belong to its people. Meanwhile, the ongoing war sees renewed drone strikes between Ukraine and Russia, while European nations explore peacekeeping efforts without U.S. involvement.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Let's begin our analysis and commentary of today's world headlines with this report about President Trump's offer to President Zelensky that the USA would own and operate and maintain Ukraine's Energy assets and then we'll tell you what mr. Zelensky said to mr. Trump. Doc Burkhart is here with me Yes, sir. There is the radio free Europe. I thought they were put out of business.

I was just going to say the same thing, Rick. They must be running on vapors at this point, but you see the headline there. President Trump suggests US ownership of Ukrainian power plants after Russia launches new strikes despite pledge. There's some controversy over whether or not Russia actually launched strikes and everything. We won't get into that. But what is important here is about the deal to take over the energy grid in Ukraine. President Donald Trump suggested during a call with his Ukrainian counterpart Zelensky

that the U.S. take ownership of Ukraine's power plants as he seeks to build a bridge and to bridge that divide between Moscow and Kiev and secure a full ceasefire in Europe's latest war in decades. President Trump told Zelensky that U.S. ownership of Ukraine's electrical supply and nuclear power plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure. According to a White House readout of the March 19th call, which preceded another night of Moscow and Kiev exchanging drone strikes and hostilities on the battlefield.

That proposal reflects President Trump's belief that U.S. ownership of Ukrainian assets would effectively serve as a security guarantee for the embattled country because Russia would presumably refrain from targeting them out of fear of escalation with the United States. Okay, so, Doc, I have a feeling that if we were inside the White House, we probably heard in a discussion like, well, the pressure is going to be on the United States to pay for the rebuilding of Ukraine's energy system. Mr. Zelensky is going to be expecting the United States just to spend billions and billions of dollars of taxpayers' money

to build the system. And they would have ownership of it. And I can easily imagine President Trump said, no, I got a better idea. How about if Americans are going to pay for it, how about if Americans are going to own it? Right. And I could see his understanding, his logic in that. And we have been investing billions of dollars in the energy infrastructure in Ukraine since

the conflict started back several years ago. But it's tax money. Yes. We would pay the rebuild and Russia would blow it up. We'd pay to rebuild and Russia would blow it up. What President Trump is saying is if the United States owns it, other countries would think twice about blowing it up if it's owned by the United States. Yes.

I mean, the logic works, doesn't it? It does. So What did mr. Zelensky say was did he say thank you? This is awesome You people have done so much for us of course you can own our Electrical plants. No not at all. This is the London Telegraph reporting Zelensky says power plants belong to Ukraine after Trump takeover plan. And notice how it's being spun there in the London Telegraph too.

Vladimir Zelensky has said that Ukraine's nuclear power plants belong to the people of Ukraine. After Donald Trump said the US could take over the stations as part of a ceasefire deal, the Trump administration has suggested taking over Ukraine's nuclear power plants, particularly the ones held by Russia right now, could form a security guarantee. The Ukrainian leader, however, today vowed not to discuss handing over any of Ukraine's power plants to the U.S. We will not discuss it.

We have 15 nuclear power plants in operation today. This all belongs to our state, he said, adding that he was, however, open to talk about the U.S. investing in the Russian-held power plant if it was taking back from Russia. And so the only power plant that Zelensky is open to about the U.S. controlling would be the one that the Russians already control. Right, the one that he Russians already control. Right, the one that he does in control. Right. He's an amazing con artist. Let the European Union pay for it.

Yes, and they're not going to, but let them try to do it. Let them try to even manage it. And besides that, Russia's not going to consider the EU a threat at all. And so the only one that can secure the energy infrastructure in Ukraine is the United States. Let's just be realistic about it. Yeah, if the European Union owned the power grid in Ukraine, Russia would still bomb it. No, they'd shut it down and say, we can't have nuclear plants. So they'll do something stupid.

Well, that's a good point. So the European Union shuts down their own nuclear plants, but nuclear power in Ukraine is a wonderful idea. Yeah, that's the hypocrisy of the left. Okay, so the other big story coming out of Ukraine today is that Ukraine attacked a Russian military air base inside Russia. Yes. Supposedly, this was the largest drone attack in the history of the war, three-year war. And the report, this is ABC News, Russian authorities reported a massive Ukrainian drone attack on the Ingol's air

bays in Saratov Oblast overnight, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, claiming that the Russians shot down 54 drones in the area. We've got a video. We'll show you the size of this attack. This is an Air Force base inside Russia. Right, so in a social media post the Ukrainian military general staff claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that the operation was a collaboration with the Security Service of Ukraine and the country's special operations forces.

Fires, explosions, and secondary detonation of ammunition were recorded in the airport area. Now, quoting the ABC News article here, it says, Saratov and Ingles today suffered the most massive UAV attack of all time. That's coming from Roman Vysargin, the governor of the Saratov region, writing on Telegram, he reported a fire burning at the airfield and damage to around 30 houses. And remind you once again this was a Ukrainian drone attack on Russian territory. See aren't we talking about a ceasefire? Well we're supposed to be. So if Russia responds tonight, yes. Tomorrow's headlines will be Putin Breaks ceasefire. Breaks ceasefire, thumbs his nose to Trump.

Yes. And the spin will be, again, that the Russians don't want to have peace. They're just twisting Donald Trump around their finger, and they're going to continue on their plan to invade all of Europe. Yes, and the only ones who don't want peace, Rick, are Zelensky and the rest of Europe. And the European leaders. Now, the next story, Wall Street Journal. Europe hatches plan for Ukrainian peacekeepers

without the US. Good luck with that idea there, right? So Western allies are trying to push, trying to hash out a bold European idea, sending anywhere from 10 to 30,000 troops to Ukraine to help enforce any eventual peace deal with Russia. With ceasefire talks continuing with the Kremlin, defense officials from dozens of Western nations are meeting in the UK to hammer out the details of the so-called Coalition of the Dumb led by the UK and France that could help Ukraine deter Russia from attacking in

the future. No U.S. troops would be involved. Already, however, discussions among these allies are proving arduous. A major concern is that coalition troops could get sucked into a hot war with Russia without substantial U.S. support to back them up. There is also a debate over whether the Western troops in Ukraine would even be permitted to fire at Russians if there were an incursion. And so, even if you had troops in there, would they be allowed to shoot at Russians?

Then what's their purpose, except to catch bullets that the Russians might throw at them? Dr. Borg, this whole discussion— It's asinine. It really is. It is asinine. It is stupid. They're not going to send anybody. They're pretending.

They're real serious about it. But I think deep down in their hearts, they know they're not going to do it. You know what I see? I'll tell you what I imagine, a group of Cub Scout boys wearing their father's army uniforms, marching around pretending they're going to war. They got the swords on and everything. They got everything. They all went to their father's closet and got their father's uniforms. They got all the medals and everything. And they're marching around and they're beating drums and they're pretending they're marching

off the war. And they're just a bunch of little Cub Scout boys. These guys aren't going anywhere because this all comes down to US support. The United States has to protect the European troops. Well, if we're going to do that, why don't we just do it ourselves? Right. Why get involved with Europe? We're not going to put troops there. Right. And the only reason why we would have troops there is if we have interest there, right? Yes, we have no interest there. But if we were in control of the electric grid and the power grid,

there might be a reason to have some troops there. Now, the Biden administration, they had interests there in Ukraine. They had the DNC servers. Yes. They had bio labs, had Hunter Biden's bank accounts. They had all kinds of interests. But we don't have any interests as the American people. And I don't want to be involved in Ukraine. And I'm glad President Trump is diplomatically working us out of it and trying to come out ahead of the game so that we recoup some or if his plan works we'll get back everything we spent spent. And, you know, Doc, if this becomes the new standard for US foreign policy, a lot of countries

would have second thoughts about wanting to get involved in a war with the US. That's right. They're going to be like, you know what? They're going to end up owning everything. Let's not start this war. Plus, it would open up the possibility for even new alliances that might develop, too. For instance, the president of the Congo once again today announced, we would welcome U.S. troops here to help us get things under control here in the Congo, and we will be willing

to share our $20 trillion in resources here in our country. And so we could see new alliances in the future forming based on this new transactional alliances that might develop as a result of this, if Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are able to pull this deal off. Well, let's save that thought because later in today's true news, I've got a story about rare earth minerals. Ah, okay. And I'll show you a map and you'll see Africa on that map. So the next story, these two go together.

So the Wall Street Journal, the one we just looked at, Europe hatches plans for Ukraine peacekeepers without the United States. Then this, then that story, this just came out. This is in Novasti News Service in Russia. Polish general announced the preparation of a multivariate operation in Ukraine. Doc, I could not find any other source other than this Russian news story. So we're going to go with it as they wrote it. Okay, so in Europe they are preparing many different options for an international operation in Ukraine. The agency said

RAHR chief of the general staff of the Polish Army, General Wysok Kukula, a multivariate operation is being prepared, which largely depends on how the peace talks will take place, he said. At the same time, the military leaders stressed that so far the operation is at a very early stage of planning. Referring to the upcoming meeting in the military leaders of several countries in London, the General explained that it serves to develop an operation to ensure peace in Ukraine. Now, according to the General, after the statements of the state's political leaders, plan meetings

are held on the forum of what that operation might look like at the level of the military leadership of the countries ready to take part in the mission. This is an extension of that previous story that we were talking about. We have defined the guidelines, areas of interaction, and possible developments. Now we are transferring this to the planning authorities, that is, the commands that consider

the planning of operations and possible interaction. According to him, they are discussing several possible options for the operation and determining what forces will be needed to provide this kind of security guarantee. So once again, they're continuing on in this thought, Rick, that at some point in time, Europe is going to be placing troops into Ukraine in a variety of different ways. That multivariate operation just simply means they're looking at several pathways to get to this point. It's the Cub Scouts

having their meeting of their Joint Chiefs of Staff. You're right, but the Denma of the United States is not there. That's right, and there ain't gonna be no cookies either at the end of the meeting. So they're planning on, they're gonna stage their operation out of Poland. And Poland's participating in this charade. But at the end of the story,

the general, the chief of the general staff of the Polish army said, we will not involve our soldiers in operations in Ukraine So which is it? Oh, we'll play along with your game, but we ain't going in there Yes he says we are aware that it is impossible to carry out this operation without the participation of Poland if only because our special geopolitical position We border Ukraine in the most convenient network of road

and other logistics communications passes from Poland to Ukraine. In other words, he said, we will provide the roads and the transportation, everything up to the border, but we're not yet ready to commit to troops in Ukraine. And he said, we will not involve our soldiers. That's right. That's pretty emphatic. We're not troops in Ukraine. And they said, we will not involve our soldiers. That's right. That's pretty emphatic.

Like, we're not going in there. But we'll play war with you. You want to play the war game, we'll go ahead and do it. So this is about Europe planning to put their 30,000 men in Poland, and then they're going to march into Ukraine from Poland. To get ready for war with Russia somewhere in 2030 to 2032. Do you know how fast the Russians are going to kill the EU troops coming across the Polish border?

These people are nuts. It'll be reminiscent of World War II. They're nuts. They're total clowns. I can't believe people like this are in power. I mean, if you think back to World War II, FDR, you know, Hitler, okay, these guys weren't, they weren't clowns, they weren't playing. They knew they were in a world war. They knew this was about the survival of their countries. Yes. Europe is being led by, I hate to say imbeciles, but they really are. They're imbeciles. And at that point in time in the war, Poland had been overrun, France had been overrun,

all of Europe had been overrun. If it hadn't been for the United States stepping in when it did, everybody, like Carolyn Levitt said yesterday, if it wasn't for the United States, everybody in Europe would be speaking German today. That's right. Mr. McCrone, you are not Charles de Gaulle. Kare Starmor, you are not Winston Churchill. These people are juniors, they're lightweights, and yet they're moving, they're now moving the European continent towards war. Thank God we are out of this right now, between Russia and the United States.

I can't imagine President Trump being pulled into this thing. I just can't imagine. I think he's too committed right now to getting us out of it. He doesn't buy into this stuff. So let's talk about World War III in the Middle Eastern theater. London Times, Israel threatens total destruction of Gaza. After they killed 500 civilians, many of them children, in 48 hours. Yeah. What's left to destroy? What is left? You're going to blow up rubble? You know, there's two million people still breathing.

I know. And they plan to kill them. And when you read this... Oh, doc, I don't know if you read the propaganda notes, leaflets that they dropped. Yes. And when you read this, oh Doc, I don't know if you read the propaganda notes, leaflets that they dropped? Yes. Okay, we'll get to them here in a second. The Guardian, Israeli strikes on Gaza add to soaring child death toll.

At least now they're admitting that children are dying. That's a big step right there, Rick. What's it look like? What does that headline look like in real life? Alright, I'm going to show you a couple videos. Here's the first one. Here's a child that suffered. Who has shrapnel in his chest. So who are we blaming for that? Somebody's policy or we blaming the IDF for what they did to this child?

Well, the White House said today they stand fully behind Israel and Israel is doing what it has to do. So it has to kill that child. So the scene that you see here, these are after the airstrike. These are the bodies of men, women, and children who suffered another airstrike by the Israeli Defense Force. Here you see a father that's looking for his child, but probably can't recognize his child because it's been shredded by either the explosion or by the shrapnel that's left behind by the IDF forces. This is what it looks like This is what it looks like. He's a survivor

Yes, he's he's the one who's left alive to see the dead. Yeah, he's the one that they're gonna move out of Gaza Yeah so incredible, um I would try to put this in perspective for people. For the people who say, well, Rick, it's war. And unfortunate things happen in war. And unfortunately, innocent people die in war. That's just the way it is.

That's war. That's life. But you don't have to like it. You don't have to like it. You don't have to support it and cheer it on. You don't have to give sermons about it in your church or on Christian TV or radio. But I want to give you an analogy. So okay, so we're going to start with the premise that Hamas is bad.

OK, we're all in agreement, right? Hamas, they're bad. I would never have funded them like Netanyahu funded them for 10 years. Right. He gave them $30 million a month for 10 years. Why? He needed a boogeyman. Right. He gave them 30 million dollars a month for 10 years. Why? He needed a boogeyman. Yes. He built them up for this purpose. His mind is so diabolical. He built up Hamas so that someday

he could completely destroy Gaza. Do you know how wicked you have to be to think like that? Do you know how wicked you have to be to think like that? All right, so let's just set that aside, that this is part of his plan. So the argument goes, if you're watching Fox News or TBN or anything, well, they have the hostages and Hamas will not release the hostages. And Israel is doing what they have to do to get the hostages. Okay? So let's put it like this. Here in Florida, South Florida, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Miami Beach, and Boca Raton, there's a big Jewish population here in South

Florida. They're a major part of our state. And hey, everybody gets along fine, right? That's right. There's no Holocaust here. Nobody's trying to hurt Jews here in Florida. But let's say we turn this around and let's say that there were some really radical, extreme, violent Jews who kidnapped some non-Jews and were hiding them in South Florida and they had their demands. And Governor

DeSantis brought out the National Guard and leveled, completely leveled. West Palm. West Palm all the way down to Miami. Right. Destroyed every building. Killed men, women, and children that weren't even way down the Miami. Right. Destroyed every building. Killed men, women, and children that weren't even involved in the conflict. Right. Because these people won't release the hostages. And in the process, hostages get killed?

Yes. So is that what you support? Is that what you support? Or another analogy would be there's an active shooter, there's a gunman in a school, and he's going to shoot the children. In order to get the gunman, you blow up the whole school. But you got the gunman. But you killed the gunman. The kids had to die because you had to get the gunman.

It's the gunman's fault that the kids got blown up. So when you people who support killing these Palestinian children, that's what you are supporting. That's how crazy your ideas are. You're allowing the Zionists to cheapen your soul. They're defiling your soul. You're lowering your humanity by coming down to their level.

Don't let them do it to you. The war's got in, but the way to end the war is for Israel to get out of Gaza completely get out of the West Bank get out of Gaza Let the Palestinian people live a free life But that's not gonna happen is it Rick no Because let's go down I 24. This is Israeli television news US and Israel I moving Gazans to Sudan, Somalia and Syria. Now we talked about this a week or two ago, but I've got a little video clip from Israeli

television I want you to know. This is a real story. The Trump White House is talking to Netanyahu's government about relocating two million Palestinians to Africa. Yes. Just watch it. Emerging reports claim that the Trump administration and Israel approached the governments of Sudan and Somalia, and have also been interested in Syria, all as potential places to resettle Palestinians from Gaza. Now, while the Sudanese government did not formally reply, both this new Syrian regime

and Somalia's ambassador to the US said they were unaware of any outreach by the US or Israeli governments on the issue. And given the level of destruction and the highly radicalized population that remains there, the idea of Palestinian resettlement in another country is one of several options that the Trump team has proposed. It seems to be part of the president's wider goal of ending the war in Gaza and the threats to Israel and rehabilitating the devastated Palestinian enclave, in his words. Now we're joined by our diplomatic affairs correspondent, Belia Saldin, to get into this.

I think we have a little more sort of meat to the story now than just these reports coming through about this possibility of outreach to these countries, the State Department making some actual giving us shedding some light on the fact that they are still pushing for this. Yes, later tonight they're going to be a press conference by the State Department. Maybe we'll have more clarification on this issue because on one hand we have these sources talking to CBS News saying that there has been a reach out to those countries and the consideration also of Syria. CBS News saying that there has been a reach out to those countries and the consideration also of Syria, but officials from these countries, including the ambassador to Somalia, the Somali

ambassador to the U.S., saying that that did not happen and also expressing concerns that if that would be happening, that would impose a threat to his country because we don't — Not just ideological, real concerns about what might happen in Somalia. Absolutely. I mean, this is a country that is in a state of war with groups like ISIS and the Shabab, many Islamic extremists there that we will use the Gazans, the Muslims, the Palestinians in general to actually legitimize more attacks against officials in Somalia and of course

on the cities inside this country. But this is one of the consideration, one of the countries that being considered right now. By the way, this is happening also while we're talking about the possibility that the Trump administration is going cold on this idea. But apparently it is not. It is a misunderstanding to me that people thought that when Trump said that there's not going to be any expulsion of Palestinians, then the administration is actually ditching this idea. It's not Trump since the beginning has talked about the relocation of Palestinians, not

the forced displacement of Palestinians. By the way, the Israelis were more clear on that, that we will not displace anyone by force. We will just give them the option to leave Gaza. Now, whether that will work or not to this country, this is another question. Yeah, the idea there Rick is that, why don't you Gazans just rent a U-Haul truck, load it up and go somewhere else.

We're not expelling you. But we're asking you to leave. And we have guns pointed at you and we're ready to burn you with white phosphorus. But you do have a choice. You have no water, no electricity, no food, but we're not making you leave. Well, let's take a look at London Telegraph today. Let's take a look at London Telegraph today. Leave Gaza before Trump forces you. Israel tells Palestinians amid fresh airshack. Folks, this is today's headline.

That's right. What does it say? Leave Gaza before Donald Trump forces you to leave. Yes. So, what happened is Israel has dropped leaflets on Gaza warning residents to leave before Donald Trump forces them out as fresh airstrikes reportedly kill more than 50. The document said, the world map will not change if all the people of Gaza vanish before the implementation of Trump's forced plan, which will impose

your forced displacement whether you like it or not. Wait a minute here. Wait, wait, wait. Mr. Trump said I'm not I'm not gonna force anybody out. Is Netanyahu misrepresenting him to the Palestinian people? Well, I guess Donald Trump would say, I didn't say that. That's not words I said. It goes on in the article, it says, on Thursday Israel said it was making a final appeal for people who wish to receive aid to cooperate. The leaflets, which appeared to have been scattered around Gaza in the last 24 hours,

are headed with the logo of Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service. Written in Arabic below photographs of Benjamin Netanyahu and Mr. Trump, the message concludes, No one will feel for you. No one will ask about you. You are left alone to face your inevitable fate. Neither the U.S. nor Europe cares about Gaza. That's true. The game is almost over and only a little remains. Whoever wants to save themselves before it's too late, we are here to stay until Judgment Day. These people are sick.

They are sick. Sick. Pathetic. So if they wanted to leave, Rick, where would they go? Where would they go? If Mr. and Mrs. Gauza and the baby Gauzans, if they said, you know what, I've had enough. I want to go somewhere else, where would they go?

Where would they go? There's no place open. That's right. That's the irony here and the sick irony of dropping these leaflets and telling them to leave. The only way they're going to leave, Rick, is in a body bag. That's it. And the Israelis said, neither the United States or Europe cares about you.

And they're right. They're right about that. It's sick, Rick. It's really sick. I know one who does care. Yes. His name is Jesus Christ. He used to walk that area.

Those are his stomping grounds. He knows that place. Many of those Palestinians are descendants of the first disciples who followed him. Yes. of the first disciples who followed him. Yes, and they are more Semitic than the so-called Semitic people living in Israel. Well, they're not Semitic because they're Europeans. Yes. Semitic is a language.

It's a classification of languages in the Middle East. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was in Israel meeting with the killer Netanyahu. That man's looking, he looks, I'm talking about Netanyahu. He looks so evil to me. He is a walking piece of evil. So anyhow, Netanyahu and his wife Sarah met with US Senator John Fetterman and his wife. I see he got all dressed up for Netanyahu too. He sure did.

He got his outfit from Zelinsky. Zelinsky, when he grows up, is going to get John's leftover clothing. Now, Netanyahu expressed his appreciation to John Fetterman for defending Israel. And so he presented Mr. Fetterman with a gift. Guess what it was. I'll show you the video. How about giving him a beeper?

Oh, so it's a no. This is a silver plated beeper. The real beeper is like one times the weight. It's nothing. Yeah, but it changes history. You know, when when when that story with that story broke. Yeah, I was like, oh, I love it. I love it know, when that story broke, I was like, oh, I love it, I love it. And now it's like, thank you for this. Yeah, no, all right.

Thank you. Thank you. Oh, yeah. So when the story broke, the thousands of people blew up to pieces, including the people standing next to them. That's right. John Fetterman loved it. I love that story.

Would you accept a pager from B.B. Netanyahu? Absolutely not. I know the track record. And yet Donald Trump has a gold one and now Fetterman has a silver one. This is just sick. I mean, it really, really is. Natanyahu is sick for giving these things out as gifts. Right. It would be like handing out gifts of nooses after you hung 1,200 people. Right.

Here's a gold noose. Here's a gold noose. Here's a silver noose. I'm telling you, Netanyahu is evil. He's demonic. And any Christian who endorses him, you are participating in that man's sins of murder. And I want to stay away from you on Judgment Day. I don't want to be in that line with you. You're going to crackle and sizzle. Times of Israel, Netanyahu attacks leftist deep

state in the United States in Israel. Yes. So Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacks leftist deep state in the United States and Israel. Yes. So Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday slammed the so-called deep state in a post on his official Prime Minister X account harnessing some of the same rhetoric used by U.S. President Donald Trump to dismiss his critics. This is the way it reads, in America and in Israel, when a strong right-wing leader wins an election, the leftist deep state weaponizes the justice system to thwart the people's will. They won't win in either place. We stand strong together.

Now, less than half an hour after that tweet was posted on the Prime Minister account, Benjamin Netanyahu deleted it from the official account and then posted the same message from his personal account. The statement came shortly after police announced Wednesday that they had detained and questioned under caution two suspects as part of an ongoing investigation into whether thousands of dollars were funneled from Qatar to one or more Netanyahu's aides. Hebrew media reported early Thursday that one of the suspects was released home under unspecified conditions while the second continued

to be interrogated. So when you come under deep scrutiny, Netanyahu runs for cover and blames the deep state for trying to get after him. Well, that's like the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it? It sure is. But somehow that rascal just keeps hanging on to power. He'll keep killing people.

He'll keep a war going. He has to kill more people. The man has to kill people in order to stay in power. Yes. Okay, so let's stop talking about Nephilim. Let's talk about robots. South China Morning Post, Hong Kong. Humanoid robot war heats up as US and China race towards mass production. Yes. The South China Morning Post is reporting that the race to put humanoid robots into

mass production has intensified over the past week as companies in both the US and China have made numerous announcements that convinced analysts that the technology is maturing more rapidly than many expected. Investor excitement has been building in recent months about the potential of humanoids, artificial intelligence-powered robots with human-like forms, with one Chinese CEO predicting that robots could soon be bigger than the car industry. Though humanoids have yet to be mass-produ produced, let alone commercialized, several companies now appear to be on the cusp of overcoming that barrier.

On Tuesday, the American robot maker Figure AI unveiled a groundbreaking automated production line that it claims can manufacture 12,000 of its humanoids per year. And so this video that we're going to share with you here is, I think, one we shared before. We did a couple weeks ago, Doc. But this is in the story. And I wanted to bring it back to remind people what they saw. And if you didn't see it, pay close attention. Watch the facial expressions on the robots.

They look at each other. They're learning. These robots are learning in real time how to accomplish a task. It's a very simple task. But you're seeing robots learning in real time and looking at each other to figure out how can they help each other complete the task.

Let's watch. Hey Figures, can you come here? Okay, I'd like to try something new. Even though this is the very first time that you've ever seen these items, I'd like you to use your new Helix AI and try to reason through where you think they belong in your scene, and then work together to put them away. Does that sound good? I'm going to try to get a little bit of a better view of the Twice in that video, Rick, and I'm sure our audience caught it, the robots acknowledged one another. Yes.

That's what it appeared to look like. Right. That's what I wanted people to see. They acknowledged each other. They were aware of each other's presence. And acknowledged that one had duties separate from the other. One was working on refrigerator projects. One was working on counter projects. One was working on refrigerator projects. One was working on counter projects. So this you know, we're now were they moving as fast as a husband under the eye of his wife not quite but

But they're just starting out too in this and that's just beginning of things in the article here from South China Morning Post, it's the The same day home appliance giant Madea Group became the latest Chinese company to jump into the industry. They are unveiling a prototype for a self-developed humanoid. We have some video of this. We have a fleet of figure two robot sorting packages at a customer site. Watch this. So So So, that's one example that you'll see the application of robots in a factory setting, a warehouse setting, something like that. But what about day-to-day life?

What about just everyday living? What is that going to look like? Rick, what do you think? Well, there's a company called 1X, and they have a robot called NeoGama, and this is to be a humanoid robot for household duties. So we've got a video, let's watch. ["Sky's Got a Little Star"] Right there. How's this?

Perfect. You notice what they did there, Rick? How they made the robot seem more human? What did they do? They dressed him. He's not naked anymore. Suddenly it's not a machine anymore. It's a humanoid now. Now Analyst said that a series of recent breakthroughs have been happening here over the past few

months with a number of companies unveiling exceptionally agile robots. And so the confidence in the technology is starting to move forward and could soon lead to more manufacturers, including Chinese manufacturers, getting into this particular division of industry. So the humanoid robot industry chain has entered the stage of a let 100 flowers bloom. And this actually refers to a famous phrase by former Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong. Interesting there. Now on the other side of the Pacific,

Nvidia CEO Wang told a developer conference in San Jose, California on Tuesday that humanoids were less than five years away from being widely used in the manufacturing sector. He also added that humanoids would probably be deployed in factories first because they would only be required to perform well-defined tasks in a controlled environment. I actually was surprised by that because he said five years away, less than five years away, because my impression was that Elon Musk's Tesla robots were going to, that they're being rolled out this year. This year and a major rollout next year in 2026 and so he expected thousands out this year and had a goal of 25,000 in the year 2026 and

That if I recall those numbers correctly there I think the time frame is getting shorter and shorter here on this This is as much as there is disruption with artificial intelligence the move of robotics into not only industry, warehousing, things like that, but into just daily life, is going to radically change society. Radically change it. And it will happen in months that this change that takes place. People will be asking a lot of questions about

their own humanity as a result of the implementation of this particular sector of robotics as it advances. The first people who will see it are those who are employed in factories, in manufacturing plants. You will be working next to humanoids. If you're at Amazon, you're already working next to robots. Yes. But you're going to see it in many manufacturing plants in the next five years. The one that worries me the most is law enforcement.

That one, Docs just scares me. You know, that is too sci-fi Nightmarish to think of a armed robot coming to your door. And they they're the way they'll sell it Rick is safety concerns. We're protecting our officers. Yes, we're not putting them in the line of fire or in dangerous situations where they can't defend themselves. But yeah, that's going to be an easy sell for a lot of people. Robots police are already deployed in Dubai and China.

They haven't completely replaced the human police force, but people are getting used to seeing them. But I think in the next five years, you will see robotic police officers in the United States. And it's going to change the face of law enforcement. We have one more video. This is an industrial robot made by 拿两片生菜。 多拿了,放回去吧。 这么细也难不倒我。 两个手指拿个车篱子来点缀。

再倒牛奶补充蛋白。 我去上班了。 I'm going to work. So All right, so Doc, do you want your breakfast prepared by a robot? Well, if they get it right, I'm okay with it. It's hard enough to get humans to get breakfast right at the drive-through on a regular basis. But when we were at the airport departing Barcelona, there was a coffee shop in the airport. I remember that. That was really robotic. You paid, and you watched the robot make your coffee

and everything, and it was delivered to you. Now, it was still under human supervision, but I could see that actually happening very very quickly and we'll accept it and I don't have a problem with that. What's the difference between a robot making your coffee and a vending machine? They're both vending machines. Okay I don't have a problem with stuff like that It's the police officer It's when the robot tells me I don't need my coffee anymore that I'm going to get upset.

That's right. That's right. That's where we're going to have to draw the line. All right. Hey, I mentioned earlier about rare earth minerals. We were talking about the new business model for nations. Here's another South China Morning Post article. China's rare earth dominance could crumble

in 10 years. Yes. Well, that takes us to 2035. Right. Where it'll probably be a war over resources as we're moving forward. So researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences predict that the country's unparalleled dominance of the world's supply of rare earths critical to high-tech and green industries and robotics could end.

In a study published last week by the peer-reviewed journal Chinese Rare Earths, the scientists warned that the country's estimated 62 percent share of raw materials may fall to just 28 percent by 2035. The researchers' RQ modeling predicted a further drop to 23% by 2040, with China entirely losing its former dominant position as the opening up of mining frontiers in Africa, South America, and Australia potentially reshapes the industry.

The paper said the results suggest fundamental shifts were underway. Part of that's going to be with the advancement of robotics too. Rick, you had a map that you wanted to share with the audience here. Right. Can you tell us a little bit about it? Yeah, it just shows you the main deposits of rare earth minerals around the world. So to me, every one of those places is a hot spot for war. Right. deposits of rare earth minerals around the world.

So to me, every one of those places is a hotspot for war. So we were talking earlier about Africa, you said the leader of Congo said, please bring American troops to Congo and bring about law and order and share in our minerals. Right there you see, there's a lot of rare earth minerals in Africa. You see there on the far left. But you got it in South America? Yes. In Canada? Hmm, Canada. Is that the reason Mr.? Yes. In Canada? Hmm.

Canada. Is that the reason Mr. Trump is interested in Canada? Of course, Russia. So these are the battlegrounds. Because whoever controls these rare earth minerals are going to control The future. The future, the technology. The technology requires these minerals.

And after these spots, it's outer space. You've got to go to asteroids, you've got to go to the moon, to Mars. And it will continue until Christ comes back. People will continue searching for dominance. Let me get a little bit of American politics before we close. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who was the vice presidential candidate for the Democrats. He told a crowd of Democrats yesterday or a day before that he was happy to see Elon Musk's Tesla stock falling. And he was cheering on the audience, like, hey, look at this.

It's dropping. We ought to be happy. We ought to be excited. I'm going to play Tim Walz's statement, and then I'm going to do a follow up with what Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary said about Tim Walz. So let's watch Tim Walz first. Saying on my phone, I know some of you know this

on the iPhone, they've got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the iPhone. They've got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day. 225 and dropping. If you own one, if you own one, we're not blaming you. You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off and take out just telling you. Celebrating the destruction of an American company. Yes. Of electric cars, which the Democrats said we have to all buy one. Yes. But not that one. Yes. Not the fascist cars, not the fascist electric cars. But he wasn't a fascist before he bought Twitter.

That's right. So Kevin O'Leary was on CNN and he had something to say about Tim Walz. Let's watch. I think go back to point one. When you set a car on fire, you should go to jail. You're a criminal. Any car, actually. I don't think we have to talk about it in any other context. And all those cars have cameras in them and those dealerships have cameras. You're

beyond being stupid when you do that. You're going to go to jail and you now have a government that just got their mandate. They can't wait to find idiots that do this. You're going to spend five to twenty years in prison. If they get them on terrorism, which I think is a stretch, they will have no parole, no shortened sentence, they'll rot in hell in prison for twenty years. And frankly, as far as I'm concerned, that's okay. Breaking in, shooting a car, sitting on fire, nothing to do with the politics, nothing to do with Tesla. You are a criminal, and you should go to jail. What about the broader question about the protest factor?

I mean, you heard Tim Walz. What protest? You're a criminal. I'm talking about Tim Walz and his comments about the Tesla stock. He says it gives him a boost to see that stock going down. That poor guy didn't check his portfolio and his own pension plan for state.

It's beyond stupid what he did. He's talking down a three and a half percent weighting in his own pension plan. I mean, what's the matter with that guy? He doesn't check the well-being of his own constituents in the state. That's their investment fund. What a bozo. Good point. The state of Minnesota has their pension funds invested in Tesla stock. Yes, including Tim Walz. So

Just you can't pick stupid Rick. You can't do it now. I got another Kevin O'Leary video and this is how they they shot down O'Leary. This is how they fired out O'Leary now. Yes So you see this headline here? Look at this shark tank star Kevin O'Leary now. Yes. So you see this headline here. Look at this. Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary ripped by female CNN panelists for touching her during heated debate over Musk. Now what does that make you think? Touching her? Oh, he's a sexual predator. Like he's had his hand under the desk?

Yeah, he's rubbing all over her or something like that. Which has, it did not happen. He touched her arm while they were talking. Yes. Let's watch. Members of Congress, the oldest profession on earth, that you don't have to touch me.

Is not. You literally tweeted to these members, thank you for doing this. I don't want you to touch me. That's my personal space. I won't ever do it again. Thank you. It was just, innocent, We're having a conversation.

I touched your arm. There are names for people like her, and I can't say it. But you can think it. Now imagine if Donald Trump last week after Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron, they were touching him and touching his leg and touching his arm and saying, Don't touch me. I don't want you touching me. Can you imagine the hubbub there be about Donald Trump and being touched? And besides that, that woman, she has crazy eyes anyway. She's nasty. She's nasty. Anyway, but that's

That's the mindset of the left. They're not nice people. They really aren't nice people. Doc, this next story, and it's over a month old, a month and a half old. I just came across it today in the South China Morning Post of all places in Hong Kong. Yes. I didn't know this The US Justice Department ended the criminal enforcement of foreign influence the the foreign agent Registration Act Farah

The Trump administration decided as soon as they came into the White House They were no longer going to enforce Farah. Now, what Farah is, if you don't know, the Foreign Agent Registration Act. If you are working for a, if you're an American and you're doing business for a federal government in another country, another country, if you're a lobbyist, if you're promoting their interests, their views, and you are getting reimbursed for your work, you have to register at the State Department as a foreign agent. Right, and at the State Department they had a special task force called the Foreign Influence Task Force that investigated these things. That was

their job. They looked for these incidents that occurred. Well, the Trump administration has disbanded that task force. Why? Why? You would think that they would want this enforcement. I can only think of one reason and it starts with an I State of Israel yes All right all these people That are working for the state and I'm talking about John Hagee. I'm talking about all the religious Christian Zionists that are raising tens of millions of dollars to promote the interests of the state of Israel, they are foreign agents.

Yes. So, but you would think that the Trump administration of all people, they would be the ones that would want this to be in force because they were constantly, you know, accusing the Biden administration of being influenced by foreign governments. You would think that they would want this in place. I know. I mean, what were we accusing Hunter Biden of doing?

Of being basically a foreign agent for Ukraine and for China. Yes. They could have sent him away on those charges. Right. Oh, well, I was surprised by that one. I really didn't expect it. Reuters, White House calls on the Supreme Court to rein in judges blocking the Trump agenda.

We got a statement here by White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt. Let's watch. And it's a clear effort by these judges to slow roll this president's agenda. And if you just look at the injunctions that this president has faced, deporting foreign terrorists from our homeland, hiring and firing of executive branch employees when the president is the executive of the executive branch. You also see an injunction by a partisan activist judge when it comes to the Secretary of Defense trying to determine the readiness of our troops and the qualifications of our troops and our

armed forces. Does a single district court judge really have more authority over the commander in chief and the secretary of defense to determine who should serve in our United States Armed Forces? Absolutely not. Anyone who has taken a basic civics lesson can understand that and it's ridiculous lawfare that we are witnessing. I'll talk California Congressman Darrell Issa introduced a bill based on what Governor DeSantis recommended that Congress simply pass a law that says the federal judges have

no jurisdiction over these issues, only the Supreme Supreme Court. And so that that bill has now been introduced. And if Republicans have any backbone, they will rush that bill through and get it on the desk of President Trump right away. This isn't something that should be delayed for months. They ought to treat it like it's an Israeli defense bill. If they would, it'd been passed yesterday.

That's right. So let's get it done. One more video from Caroline Levitt. She talks about how partisan, how biased the federal judges are. Let's watch. 67% of all of the injunctions in this century have come against which president? Donald J. Trump. Let me say that again. 60% of the injunctions by partisan activists in the judicial branch have come against President

Donald Trump and 92% of those have been from Democrat appointed judges. This is a clear concerted effort by leftists who don't like this president and are trying to impose or slow down his agenda. Very obvious what's going on and it can't be allowed to continue. There's gonna be a showdown, somehow, someway. Well, Rick, I think we're in a civil war right now. We are. We're in a civil war right now. It's civil right now.

It's a civil civil war. Right now. But there's been some shots fired. They're shooting at cars now. They're setting them on fire. So the first Molotov cocktails have been thrown, but generally it's civil right now, but it won't stay that way. I am persuaded we're going to martial law. I'll stand by that. I believe we're going to go to martial law, that the radical Democrats will force the issue and there will be no other way to maintain law and order in the country.

They haven't gotten wound up yet. Remember just remember 2020. Yeah. Antifa, Black Lives Matter. They were burning cities down. They were burning churches down. Yeah. We were and General Milley was backing the revolution. Yes. So they haven't even gotten wound up yet, but we're headed in that

direction. And when that happens, we're going to martial law. Mr. Trump is not going to tolerate it again. And his voter base is going to be 100% behind him. And the left needs to think about that because this time we've seen, we've gotten a taste of, we really can dismantle this corrupt government. We can dismantle the corrupt system, not the government, the system that controls the government, we can dismantle it and the people have a taste of it now. They're not going to go back and sit in the back of the bus again. Yes. And let the corrupt people come and do this again. So the showdown is coming and if the Democrats had any sense, they would back off quickly.

Yes. And try to be responsible leaders. Go back to being a loyal opposition party. Right. Not a revolutionary party. But they allowed themselves to be taken over by communists. Well, hey, we're over our time limit I want to thank everybody. Thank you so much

And today's lesson, I encourage you to watch, to listen. It's on the eighth chapter of Romans and we're talking about the restoration of creation, how creation is groaning, waiting to be liberated. There is an anointing on today's Bible lesson. So, I got immediate feedback this morning, Doc, of people talking about the level of

God's anointing on today's lesson. Oh, yes. I felt it today, too. It really was. It connected so many dots for me in preparation for it. It's been kind of building up over the past several days where Paul makes the connection between the presence of the Holy Spirit and Resurrection Day.

Yes, one of our team members asked me, he said, were the lights flashing on and off in your studio? I said, no, they were fine. He goes, no, the lights were flashing. I said, no, they weren't. He saw flashing lights. Okay, so I don't know what happened. Maybe his monitor was going out, but he was seeing flashing lights. But I got other people who said, wow, that was a heavy anointing. There was a joyful, happy anointing on today's lesson. So I encourage people, There was a joyful, happy anointing on today's lesson. So I encourage people, if you can't watch it right now, listen to it later in the day, but grow in faith with us. We got to go.

We are glad to have you here with us wherever you are in the world.

We have a class of international students. This is truly an international worldwide Bible study and it's made possible through technology. We gather at 8 a.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday, at faithandvalues.com, and whatever method you're using, whatever time of the day you're accessing us, that's wonderful, but we'd love to have you in the class with real-time chat with other brothers and sisters around the world. So it's faithandvalues.com. We're in the eighth chapter of the Book of Romans.

We're halfway through the book. And today, we're looking at verses 18 through 25. It's usually more verses than I try to tackle in a day, but we're gonna keep a fast-paced tempo and get through these verses. So let's pray and Doc can read the word. Father God, our dear Father in heaven, our Papa in heaven, Father we love you.

We come to you with loving hearts and grateful thankful hearts and hungry hearts, Father. We desire to be fed by your Holy Spirit. So Holy Spirit, come and take your seat at the head of the table and direct this Bible study, illuminate us, enlighten us, embolden us, all for the glory of Jesus Christ. In His name, Amen. Amen. And we are continuing our study in Romans chapter 8.

Today we're going to pick back up verse 18, reading verses 18 through 25 today. So if you've got your Bibles, turn with us please and read along with me with your own scriptures, whether it's a printed Bible or whether it's on an app or online or how you access the word of God. Join with me here now as we read.

Verse 18, for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." Glory, I just like that verse. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath

subjected the same in hope. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now, and not only they but ourselves also which had the first fruits of the spirit even we ourselves grown within ourselves waiting for the adoption to it the redemption of our body for we are saved by hope the hope that is seen is not hope for what a man seeth why does he yet hope for? But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for. God bless the reading of his word today.

Amen. Verse 18, Paul says, for I reckon, I'm glad to see that Paul's a southerner. That's right. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. As God's children, we are destined for a transformative glory, and it will be, Paul said and it will be Paul said it will be revealed in us this this is an inherent promise from God to his children a glory which shall be revealed in us." Paul's confident of the guarantee of the unveiling of this glory. He declares it to be a certainty. Yes. Paul knows something.

Something's been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit. He's speaking under the the unction of the Holy Spirit with total confidence that we have a guarantee that of the unveiling of this glory. This glory ties us to the victory that Jesus achieved on the cross and he shares it with his heirs. Remember, we are inheriting this kingdom. Yes. Jesus won on the cross is now inherited by everybody who believes in him and puts their faith in what he achieved on the cross. The victory is what he achieved. Victory over what? Over sin, over death, over Satan. And so we put our faith in him.

Paul says, whatever trials you're dealing with here, they pale in significance compared to the glory that you're going to experience. These troubles are temporary, they're fleeting, they're minor. They don't seem minor to us when they're happening, but in comparison to eternity, they're minor. So suffering is short-lived. Glory is forever. Praise God, yes. You've got temporary versus eternal. The enemy wants you to focus on the temporary. He applies pressure. Hey, does that hurt? If I stick you here, does that hurt? If I twist your arm, does that hurt? Well, sure, it hurts.

But it's temporary. And his pain is going to be eternal. The tables get flipped. This glory that's going to be revealed in us, the opposite happens to Satan. And he's going to have eternal pain. So the splendor of our promised future Outsigns all present and past troubles and woes. Yes. They're not worth comparing It it's a reward that's beyond our comprehension. It can't be compared to anything. So, we have to, all of us have to tell ourselves that we're going to experience for eternity. There is a rest for God's people. Praise God. It's almost, it's almost, depending on the level of trouble you've had in your life,

it's difficult to imagine a life without any trouble. What would your, what would your day be like today if you had no trouble? There's a time coming that not only will we not have trouble, but we'll have just the opposite. We'll have double joy. Amen. We'll have double joy. Imagine being double happy compared to present day suffering and woes. We've got to get our mind set on what eternity with Christ is going to be like. God sees it all, He knows it all, He hears it all, He knows what's been done to you, He knows what's being done to you, and he has it all under control,

and he has a rest prepared for you. So present-day trials are refining believers for their eternal destiny. It's preparation. eternal destiny. They are its preparation and when you see it that way it becomes easier to endure. Yes. So glory, glory's promise fuels our endurance through hardships. The promise of this glory strengthens us, it encourages us. It's a sustaining hope. So we have to view present day suffering through an eternal lens. And we redirect our focus from now to forever, for eternity.

The average human life is somewhere between 70 and 85 years old. That's hardly anything. Yes. There are no numbers on eternity. You're not going to live a thousand years or five thousand, because there are no years. Right, there will be no time. There's no time. How can you measure years if there's no time? It's just always now.

Yes. In the presence of God. So this hope of glory that will be revealed in us inspires holiness in us and a steadfastness in us, faithful glory, it overshadows any current pain that we have. I'll go down to the next verse, verse 19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Believers as God's children await a glorious unveiling. This is our ultimate identity in Christ. Right. And Paul says that all creation is longing for this with great intensity. Waiting for what? This revelation, this eager anticipation, this intense expectation. All creation, the animals, the mountains, the rivers, the asteroids, the planets, are waiting for this day that Paul's speaking about.

Amen. Why? Because creation was never meant to coexist with sin. Right, creation is waiting for redemption as well. Yes. Yes, creation wants to be delivered of the sin virus. There's a big pussy sore in creation. It's called sin. called sin, and creation is waiting for the day that this infection is removed. patient. It's a it's a yearning. I don't know why believers aren't yearning. We're the one we ought to be out yearning trees and mountains. You would think. You know, that, Doc, that just downright challenges me.

Are there mountains and rivers and camels out yearning me for glory? out yearning me for glory. Well, think about it, Rick. The earth, the animals, the creation itself, it never sinned. And yet, it suffers the consequence of our sin. That's right.

That's right. That's right. Boy, the restoration of all things, there's a to the redemptive triumph of Jesus Christ. We share this destiny with Him. So creation, the entire cosmos is awaiting liberation from the corruption of sin It it's yearning to be restored to its original glory Back to the Garden of Eden, back to Genesis. You know, and on the side now, right now, what's going on is Satan is using science and technology to reimagine Genesis. I believe Satan's plan is to eliminate everything made by God, all life forms. I believe he plans to get rid of

them. If he could have his way, he'd get children of God's manifestation. Yes. Why? Because we're tied to creation. We were made from creation. God made us of the dust of the ground. We are tied, tethered if you will, to this creation. And so this creation will only be redeemed when the sons of God are redeemed fully. And so, Doc, we're made from the dust of the earth, and yet the dust of the earth and yet the dust of the earth is soaked with innocent blood. Yes. Think about thousands of years of murders, wars, killings. Think about how much innocent blood has soaked into the soil of the earth and the earth retains it.

The earth has a mouth, the blood has a voice. Yes. You can read it in Genesis, it's there. Abel's blood cries out for justice. So, what I'm going to say to you, this is a concept that few modern churches comprehend and teach their congregations. That redemption covers all creation. Absolutely. I was talking about that before we got started today, Rick, because I had several people ask me about, do dogs go to heaven? You know, we've had that question come up in the past, and you've answered that several times, and I've answered it a few times. I believe that all life, every living being,

will one day be brought back to life, will be resurrected. That's why we need a new earth, because we're gonna need a whole lot more room for everything that ever lived to have a place to exist. And so, now I can put together some verses that put that forward, but that's just a general conviction on my part,

my general persuasion. I know you hold a common view on that as well, but it's essential to understand that creation itself is waiting for redemption. Creation itself is waiting for redemption and it hinges on the redemption, the full, if you will, manifestation of our sonship in our resurrected bodies with Christ. When we're resurrected, the new, the heavens and earth also get resurrected. Yes, so doc, I'm in total agreement with you. You know, just a little side note,

I'll give our class a quick lesson on this. God taught this to me through the death of my dog. And one gator was my dog before gators. His name was Duke. And he was a big old great Pyrenees dog. I got him in Texas. And I lived in Texas. And a lot of ranchers had great Pyrenees

to guard the sheep and other livestock because Pyrenees, their recreation is fighting coyotes. So I had Duke, and he was my buddy, and then we left Texas and moved to Tennessee. And several years later, as Susan and I were in, we were in Florida looking for a home. We knew God was moving us to Florida. And we were in Florida searching for a place to live, and Duke got hit by a truck in front of our house back in Tennessee. Um, stray dog came along, uh, female, and he lost his mind and followed her across the road,

and they both got hit. That's what women will do to you. That's what? That's when you lose. So, um, you know, we went home, and I was absolutely devastated. I love that dog. He was really close to me. And where we were located, our church,

we had a property in the country, about eight acres, and our house was there and I was leaning on the farm gate and I was just weeping like a baby and I heard the Lord say, Rick, stop crying. Duke is safe. He's with me. I'm holding him. I heard it, Doc. I heard it. And instantly, the emotional pain ceased. And so I went into the house and it was about 11 p.m. Susan had already gone to bed and before I went to the bedroom, the Holy Spirit, well, I'm not going to say the whole thing, I just, this thought came to me, check your email. So I know it was the Holy Spirit, because I opened up my email and my daughter Carissa had just sent an email to me like

5-10 minutes earlier. And I opened it up to see why she was sending me an email so late at night and she said that the whole Spirit just told me to tell you to read Job 12 10. I opened it up the Word of God and it says in whose hand is the soul of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. I couldn't believe what I was reading. It doesn't say the soul of every man and woman. It says the soul of every living thing. I had been taught that animals didn't have souls. And Job said God's holding the soul of every living thing.

Yes. I had just heard the Lord say, Rick, Duke is safe. I'm holding him. So he was showing me that even the life of an animal returned to him. Jesus said that when a sparrow falls, the Father knows it. So that got me seeking the the lord and he began to speak to me about the restoration of all things. That he's at the second coming

of Christ, the full manifestation of the kingdom is bigger, grander, more glorious than anything we imagine. Amen. And that what Doc just said, all life forms are coming back. And I said, Lord, how could you have, how could all the animals that ever live be restored? We'd be bumping into each other and I heard the Holy Spirit say, who told you the new earth will be the same size as the old earth? And I just started smiling. My glory to God, never thought about it.

The new earth is going to be gigantic. Papa is going to restore everything. But what about people? Well, unfortunately those who don't believe in Christ will not be in that new earth. But the animals didn't sin. But they all pay a price of death because of the sin of mankind. That's right. So anyhow, that's a little teaching.

If you lost a pet, you will see that pet someday. Assuming you're in eternity. That's the highest you have to get there. You have to get there. I would be more worried about whether you make it there than whether your goldfish makes it there or not. That's right. So and that's something we really need to think about and focus on. And so, Rick, if I could too on verse 19, you know, it talks about the manifestation of the sons of God. There was a doctrine that popped up in the 40s, 50s, and 60s called the Manifest Sons of God.

Yes. And what they believed is that there were people on earth right now that were basically they were in their resurrected bodies. Yeah, right, I know. They were Christ on earth, that they were sinless, that their purpose was to usher in the rapture and the seven-year tribulation. And let me guess, they thought they were those people. Yes, yeah.

And so, but what's interesting, even though that aspect of things, that died out, but they did deceive a lot of people. Out of that, you had this renewed teaching on the apostles and super apostles and the fivefold ministry and all that, that is very, very popular in charismatic circles today. And so a lot of this, you know, false teaching that is floating around in charismatic circles today goes back to the idea of the manifest sons of God.

Paul is making it clear that this manifestation of the sons of God is not something that takes place in this current age, but rather takes place on the final day when Christ returns. And so anyone that teaches that they are the manifest sons of God now, we are the sons of God. We've been redeemed by the son of God, but we have not received that full glory yet. That full glory has not been made manifest in us right now.

It will be one day. It has started in us with the renewal of our spirit, but our bodies have not yet been translated yet into that eternal body. So if anyone, if you ever hear anyone teaching on this, now you've got a heads up on it. That's right, absolutely correct, total agreement. That's right, absolutely correct, total agreement. Creation is groaning under the effects of sin.

It's due to human fallenness, I guess fallenness is a word. Creation is literally in bondage because of mankind's sin, and creation is groaning, wanting to be liberated. What does a liberated creation look like? It looks like the Garden of Eden. Right. If you like gardens, and we're not talking about gardens, I'm not talking about a corn patch. I'm talking about a garden of trees and flowers and shrubbery and bubbling brooks and ponds and just if that if you like that you're gonna love the New Earth. In the old New Earth, the one that Adam was in. The garden was only, it was a geographically defined. It did not extend to the whole world. That's why God gave Adam dominion over the earth. He was to extend the garden.

That was his duty, extendend it. Take dominion. Remember Adam was made in the wasteland. God placed him in the garden and he placed Adam in the garden. That means Adam was made in the wasteland. When he sinned, he was sent back to the wasteland. That's right. But in the new earth, there won't be a wasteland. The whole earth will be a garden. Praise God. The way God intended. And because our Father is this awesome Creator, I picture him, you know, Doc, is he sketching out the New Earth? Is he painting it? Does he, in heaven, does he have paintings where he's, he's drawing images for the New Earth? He's still working on it, still imagining things. What is coming out of his mind for the new earth?

Callers we've never seen, aromas we've never smelled, flowers we've never seen, animals, things we've never seen animals things we've never imagined You look at a majestic waterfall Water coming off a mountain dropping a thousand feet The tall pine trees around the base of the I imagine mean, imagine that, how beautiful that is, and then think of something 100 times grander, greater, more glorious that we've never seen. We're going to be walking around for a long time with our mouths hanging open. We're going to be walking around for a long time with our mouths hanging open.

I mean, I can still go places in the world and be stunned by the beauty of this old earth. I'm stunned, just amazed at the beauty of this earth. On my computer, I get photographs every day, compliments of Microsoft, of different places in the world. And every day I'm just like, I didn't know that place existed. That's so beautiful. Oh God, I'd like to go see it. That's so beautiful. Oh God I'd like to go see it. It's something you made I never saw this The new earth is going to be a thousand times greater

We're going to spend eternity exploring a planet and constantly going our god is great Glory to god look what he made So creation is saying come on break the chains get me out of here Get rid of this sin This is holding us back. We want to we want to glorify God. Creation desires to glorify God. You know, if the animals, I know that there will be animals in on the new earth because

the Bible says the animals sing to him. Yes. That's in Revelation. Well, who's singing? I'm telling you, you've never been in church until you've heard amazing grace sung by an all-frog choir. Okay? Just think about it.

Think about being in a worship service and the choir is all animals. And the lions and the camels and the frogs and the toads, they're all lifting their voices looking at Jesus. You think it's all going to be a Baptist choir? Man, expand your thinking about New Jerusalem and New Earth. The glory is beyond anything we can comprehend. Let's go down to the next verse. I've got to keep up here. Verse 20.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope. Our redemption as God's children is connected to creation's fate. There's a dependence. Yes. The believers in creation share a destiny in Christ. Why is it that we allow atheists and agnostics to be the strongest defenders of the environment. The church ought to be talking about God's creation. Yes, it really should. As a matter of fact, there's a Pentecostal preacher that you could actually trace back to the original conservationists in the early part of the 20th century.

And this got shanghaied by the liberal left decades later. But Christian... Do you remember his name? You know what? I'll find it here. I've got it in my notes somewhere. Give me just a second. Did he inspire Teddy Roosevelt?

I wouldn't be shocked by that. Creation is decaying due to sin. is decaying due to sin. And this state was imposed. OK, this state of decay was imposed by God. It wasn't willed by creation. It was not by choice. It is creation's involuntary plight, its undesired condition. Because God subjected creation as a just response to sin, as a sovereign act by God.

But this subjection of creation comes with a promise from God of assured renewal. So creation knows it's going to be redeemed. I don't understand. I don't know how creation knows. Maybe the Native Americans knew more about the earth than we give them credit. They're not supposed to worship creation, but you should respect it. I heard a local Christian man a couple years ago say, I was with him and a couple other guys and he said, hey, every time I kill an animal, that's me taking dominion over the earth. I thought, dude, you don't understand what that means.

You don't understand. Killing animals came after the fall. Adam didn't kill one animal before the fall. What did he eat? Vegetables and fruit. He wasn't eating any meat after the fall, but it was not his plan. And some make the case that they didn't eat meat until after the flood. Yes, right. Because there's no instructions on that until after the flood waters.

I actually, Doc, I was pondering whether to say that, and I thought, I'm not sure right now without looking at the scripture, because I was thinking, no, it's after the flood, not after the fall, but after the flood. Right. So, now, you know, some cow's got to die because I want a hamburger. I'm not a vegan, I'm not a vegetarian, but I am aware that we kill life forms so that we can eat, but it wasn't God's plan. If you've never looked into a cow's eyes while you were killing it, you don't

know what I'm talking about. Believe me, there's a look of terror on their face. And you know, just within two or three generations here, we've separated ourselves from that, in that most kids, they have no they have no idea where meat comes from. They just think it shows up at the store and have no recollection. But you and I, when we were kids, we were slaughtering, you know, cows and pigs and everything, chickens. And we were closer to life during those times. We saw where our food came from and we had a tendency to be a bit more thankful about it because we realized that these animals give themselves up to provide

sustenance for us. And there's another reason to say grace and to be thankful for every morsel that you have and not to take it for granted that God provides it. At my grandmother's house, every Saturday a chicken died. But every Sunday you had chicken dinner, right? Every Sunday it was fried chicken at grandma's house, all right. But if you were chicken you wanted to you wanted to hide on Saturday and not come back out till Sunday. So God's plan restores both believing humans and all creation through the entire universe. There are things so far away in the universe, we have no idea what's there and you know I know we got these flat earth people that are teaching that there's nothing beyond the sky I don't

know where they come up with this stuff you're limiting my god you're limiting my god telling me there's nothing beyond the atmosphere. There's a lot of people who believe that stuff. So, creation's hope hinges on the glorification of the sons and daughters of God. Creation is cheering for us because when we receive our glory, creation is redeemed. And creation is waiting. Like I said earlier, it's sad that inanimate objects like mountains and wildlife are yearning more

for the return of Christ than humans? Yes. So, we have this certainty. We have this guarantee. And that enables us to persevere, to keep going. You know, I've never trekked through the desert. But I can imagine in old times, when you were going through a barren land, and you're thinking,

I can't do this anymore. I'm weary. Sun's too hot, there's little water, there's no shade, but you can see up ahead, this beautiful oasis. You're like, I can get there. I can put up with this, I'm I can get there. I can put up with this. I'm going to get there. That's what sustains us in this life.

To get past the trials, the pains, the disappointments. Verse 21, how much time do I have here? Oh, I got to move. Okay. Too many animal stories. 21, how much time do I have here? Oh, I gotta move, okay. Too many animal stories. Verse 21, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Our glorification extends freedom to creation.

Yes. There is a shared glorious liberty. Creation and mankind, redeem mankind, are united. Amen. I don't, Doc, I've never heard this taught one time in my life. I have never heard a preacher say that our glory is tied to creation's glory.

We're in this together. We're linked together. And I can honestly say in my four years of Bible college and in my masters and doctoral studies, not one single time did I ever come across that concept. Not once. No, but I came across it when I started studying theologians and pastors and Bible teachers from a couple hundred years ago. Yes. I found out that's what they taught, that's what they believed. And you know, I think a lot of it has to do with the shift in belief about creation, Rick. That most Christians don't believe in creation.

Sad to say. They can believe that God made everything, but they don't believe in the biblical account of creation. And then I have to question their salvation. Yeah. I'm all God. I want my I give my father all the glory I can give him. Amen. If he said he did it in six days, I believe him. Yeah. That's not hard. I don't know what's hard. If you if you believe he's God,

why is that hard to believe? He could have done it in one day. Yeah, I'm surprised he stretched it out six days. He must have done it for our benefit. It wasn't for his benefit. He certainly didn't need to rest a seventh day either. Do you think God gets tired? Oh, man, that wore me out. Come on. No, he did that for our benefit. Right. So creation, the entire cosmos, from our solar system to the farthest reach of the universe in all directions, will be freed from decay, along with God's children. We both get delivered at the same time. The universe and God's people both get delivered at the same time.

Glory to God doctor yes another. This refutes the whole. Darby. Monstrosity yeah they just want some little piece of real estate sitting off the Mediterranean. Yeah we gradient. We get a whole new earth. They don't even believe we're going to get a new earth at the end of their thousand years. That's right. They think God's just going to do a paint job. Yeah, a fixer-upper. They're going to bring Chip and Joanna Gaines in there and

fix everything up. I'm going to tell you right now, and I mean this with all respect to my heavenly father, if it turns out that it's their way, not the way I'm describing it, I am going to be shocked because I'm building my father up too big. I'm building them father up too big. I'm building him up too big, Doc. I think he's awesome. I think what he's gonna do is beyond my comprehension. And Darby's telling me, no, here's the little bit that God's gonna do.

Yes. You got it, Rick. No, my father's so fantastic. Jesus said, I'm going to prepare a place for you. I'm preparing a place for you. That word prepare is create. I'm going to create a place for you. And the word place is position. Yes. I'm going to create a position for you. creation creation is relieved of its decay from the curse of sin and we we humans who believe in Christ and all creation we are both destined for liberation we will be set free from bondage and it will happen at the same time. Yes. And it's even hard to say it's happening at the same time because time won't even exist.

It'll just be happening. It'll just be the instant. Look, we go up in the air to meet the Lord in in that brief moment where time has stopped existing below the old earth burns up and we look down and we say there but for the grace of God go I There but for the grace of God go I. Had I not believed in this savior who's holding me up here in the atmosphere I'd be down below in that fire. The elements burn up. Fire burns up. Fire burns up. Fire is one of the elements. How long does it take God to create the new earth? Does he have to get scaffolding out and concrete mixers?

I mean, how long does it take him to make it? I'll tell you how long. New Earth B. Yes. Three words coming out of his mouth. New Earth B. And suddenly there's a new earth and the father says boys and girls, let's go down and look check out our new home I'm gonna live with you daddy's gonna live with you How long does that take I mean, we are underestimating the power, the ability of our God. Yes. Your God is too small. Your God is too small.

Yes, these people that teach us something, it's like you're telling me he's God but his power is limited. What kind of God is that? My God is unlimited. Some folks need a bigger God. So we get back to this theme. The hope of creation's renewal is what sustains us to persevere in this life. I am excited about what I just talked about. I don't care what happens to me today. I'll get through it because I know where I'm going. Verse 22, for we know that the whole creation groaneth and So believers stand with creation that groans for redemption. We know that's a confident expression, a confident awareness.

Awareness of what of creation's plight and creation's destiny. I mean, I don't want to repeat myself because the theme is the same. Creation is suffering under the weight of sin. Creation is decaying. Creation is travailing. It has birth pains. It has labor pains. It's in agony. Think about it. The earth, the planets, the

cosmos got a pain in its side. It's it's crying out to god. How long? Oh god. how long? When will we be released from this burden of man's sin? All of this agony in the universe comes from human sin. So I don't believe that there are humans intelligent life on other planets. Then they have to be one of two things. They have to be sin free. Or they have to be just as sinful as us. Did Jesus have to go to every planet and die for those people? How many times was

he crucified? How many planets had he did he have to be crucified on? Or are other people living in the universe and they never sin and they're looking at us like we're a bunch of freaks. Like can you believe God sent his son down there to die for those people? He must really love them. That's why I don't believe that there's humans on other planets. We're it. He made the universe for us.

Yes. So labor pains, what do labor pains signify? A new birth. Amen. Not endless woe, but the arrival of a new life. Yes. Suffering bears the seed of glory. Creations groaning reflects our struggles. We're in this together.

So see today, whatever problem you're dealing with, you just realize the planet, the animals, the whole creation of the universe is groaning with you. Yes We have solidarity with the universe So Let me get down to uh, I gotta finish this up here 23 is everybody okay? I'm so I don't want to work over the time limit. I want to finish it up to 25. And not only they, this is verse 23, and not only they but ourselves, which have the first fruits of the spirit, even we ourselves grown within ourselves, waiting for the adoption to wit the redemption of our body. Modern translation, not only so, but ourselves also, we have the first fruits of the Spirit,

even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. So we believers possess the Holy Spirit as a foretaste of glory. The retri... The indwelling of the Holy Spirit was the down payment. Do you understand that? The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in you was God's down payment?

To guarantee he's going to deliver the whole thing Including your body yes Whoo This is all about the resurrection. Amen. With the resurrection comes glorification. Comes liberty, freedom, not just for Christians, but the entire universe. So again, the Holy Spirit is the down payment it assures full redemption Have you ever Considered What the Holy Spirit's presence inside you have you ever considered that it is God's down payment as Proof of a guarantee

he is going to resurrect you. That's how you know you're gonna be resurrected. The Holy Spirit's in you. Yes. Oh, Doc, I'm gonna run around in my studio here. Let's just take a break while I run. My God, we're so blessed. The Spirit's presence in us contrasts with the weight for this glory. He's now and not yet.

Okay, we have him now, but we don't have all. We have a down payment. But that down payment is the assurance we're going to get everything. Glory. Doc, if I'm missing anything, I'm trying to get down to verse 25. For verse 24, for we are saved by hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Modern English, for we were

saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope for who hopes for that which he sees We walk by faith not by sight amen So our salvation rest in a hope that sustains and defines us Our our salvation, though secure, we have the down payment of the Holy Spirit, awaits full realization. thrives on the invisible promise from God. We know, and we know, we just know, that we're going to receive the full glory that he has promised.

If we could see it now, why would we hope? Right. You don't hope for something that you're in full possession of right now? So we live between present grace and future glory. We have grace for now. We have glory in the future. Glory replaces grace. We won't need grace anymore. Oh, man. We won't need glory replaces grace.

Grace is for now. You don't need grace when Christ is with us for eternity. Grace is what's going to get you there. But when you get there, you get glory. Hallelujah. There's another opportunity to run and shout. Verse 25, 24. Oh, wow. I got two more yet. Or did I just, I did, I just did 24, didn't I? Just did 24. 25.

But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. So we stand firm in a hope that awaits unseen glory. Our hope, though it's invisible, is certain because we trust God to fulfill His promise of His plan of redemption. Our hope rests on faith, not eyesight. Again, it's rooted in divine promise. Do you believe God? Do you believe He is who He says He is and does what He says He does?

That's what it comes down to. If you believe He is God, if you believe His word is true, if you believe that He fulfills every promise he's ever made, then you have hope. You have hope that will take you home. This hope is the patient partner of your faith. This hope defies the world's unbelief, the world's insistence to see things before they believe it.

Anything else, Doc? No, I think you've covered this very well here today, Rick. And that's what the theme was about all this week is about resurrection. How do we live the life in the spirit now? How do we live that? We live it with the understanding that we live in hope of a resurrection

and that we need the spirit of God now to live in us, to overcome, to deal with sin, to mortify the deeds of the flesh. And then one day this flesh itself will also be redeemed too, along with all of creation. This is as, remember the old copy that they used to sell called Chalk Full of Nuts? Well, this is just Chalk Full of Doctrine here

in chapter eight. And so there's so much in here. You could spend a year in chapter eight. And so there's so much in here. You could spend a year in chapter eight. We finally got past the law. I had to trudge through those first seven chapters. Now I'm over in the glory land. Praise God. Yeah. All right, well well folks, we appreciate you joining us here today on the Thursday edition of Morning Manna. And tomorrow is Faith Friday, so don't forget about that. We'll be doing special teaching on Fridays all this year

on dealing with the issue and topic of faith. So we want you to be here prepared for that. And also tomorrow, we celebrate the Lord's Supper so we invite you to participate with that with either bread and red wine or grape juice to have that prepared and join us as we share with believers all over the world the Lord's Table tomorrow. So any other thoughts or words here as we close out today, Rick? No, we have our prayer meeting tonight. Yes, 8 p.m. tonight. And so be on faith and values.

And so watch for the announcement as it goes out. And so we invite you to come and be a part of that. That's live, by the way, 8 p.m. Eastern time tonight. So please do. Well, I to ask quickly, has today's lesson broadened your expectation of the life that's to come? Has it expanded your thinking about what God has planned for us? You know, that's really what I want you to do.

I want to constantly have people seeing our Father bigger than what we see Him now. And to get excited about what he's planning. It's so big, it's so awesome, so spectacular, because it's an expression of him. It's an expression of himself. It's going to be fantastic. If Christ came back today, I would be so delighted. Let's pull the, just turn off the lights on this place. Let's go. There's so many Christians that aren't excited about him coming back right now. They got things they want to do. And yet creation groans. Yeah, they're not groaning. We ought to be groaning with creation. Come on Jesus, come on. We need you Jesus. Praise God. All right. Well, always keep us in prayer. Many things that are happening here at the ministry folks, we need that covering of prayer that only saints in Christ can provide. We ask you for that.

And we ask you to continue to be sure to tune in to Morning Man on a regular basis, also the Godcast in the afternoon, and be in prayer for that as well. So, all right. Thank you. God bless you, sir. And God bless everyone that joined us today. And we'll see you tomorrow on Faith Friday here on Morning Manor. God bless you.
