Hello, everyone. This podcast was recorded for the first week of October in the year 2025.
Well, there is a lot happening. Some people are saying that World War III has begun.
Uh, I wouldn’t go that far, but it certainly looks like it’s in the works. There are so many hotspots to mention, but the Middle East, of course, and, uh, word is that the Israelis are going to attack Iran again. The United States is moving over their tanker refueling planes to Qatar. And, well, we’ll see how that goes. But more disconcerting, the leaders of Europe want to go to war with Russia. They realize that Ukraine has been defeated despite all of their billions and billions of dollars and all of their logistical help and arms. Russia has totally decimated the Ukrainian army, including not a few mercenaries from, uh, various NATO countries and beyond.
Behind all of this, Donald Trump is working for peace. You know, they say prepare for war as strength but, you know, work for peace, and that seems to be what he’s doing. And he boasts of having brought seven wars to an end already this year. Very impressive, and now he’s brokered some kind of deal in the Middle East, all the while preparing to go to war with Iran, and…same thing, eh, in Ukraine. There are back-channel talks going on. Whatever you see in the news is not what’s really happening.
Well, I expect that the prophecy will be fulfilled whenever it is that they are saying peace and security, and then sudden destruction will come upon them in the form of World War III.
I don’t know, but I, you know, I’ve gone back and forth on this. It seems to me that, uh, this pushing has begun. Pushing in reference to Daniel 11:40, between the king of the South and the king of the North. The king of the South institutes… Initiates, I should say, this pushing. And what is he pushing against? Well, this globalism that is intent on taking down nation-states and implementing some world government.
And Donald Trump is pushing back against that. One of the things he’s pushing against is this unbridled immigration, which is really nothing but a flood of military-aged men into the United States, some say 20 million, uh, into Europe, into the UK, all for the purpose this globalists push is to dissolve national identity and to- to do away with patriotic fervor, and “my nation first,” and- and all of that.
So we see Donald Trump pushing back against that. He’s pushing back against the Federal Reserve. He’s even iced the UK out of his secret talks with Putin. You know, there’s this thing called the Five Eyes. It’s intelligence-sharing with the United States, with essentially [laughs] the British Commonwealth, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
Uh, but Trump has cut them off. You know, we don’t, uh, get too much into politics, but it was interesting a year ago, uh, the UK Prime Minister Starmer got a team together and came to the United States to campaign against Donald Trump. I mean, just imagine if the Chinese or the Russians would’ve done the same thing. Why they didn’t arrest these people is unbelievable. But he didn’t plan [laughs], I guess, on- on Donald Trump winning the election again. And now, he’s… You know, when Donald Trump won, hundreds of world leaders were invited to Washington, DC for the big inauguration, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was not invited.
They’re talking about this special relationship is done. It is true that, uh, Donald Trump accepted an invitation to go to London to wine and dine with King Charles, but I…I think that’s more of a ploy of, you know, keeping your friends close, but your enemies closer.
So if we’re in that pushing phase, then that means that the time of the end has begun. But we won’t know for sure until the king of the North floods over and overwhelms the king of the South. And I suspect this flooding… I mean, we’re not… obviously, not talking about the UK, but this British Empire headquartered in London is… uh, has tentacles that reach around the globe. It controls the financial system, and it has shaped the borders in the Middle East. And it’s hard to really get your mind around the extent that, uh, the British Empire controls the world and has infiltrated every country, their political system, and their intelligence agencies, and so forth and so on, and yeah. So I think that the invasionary force… What, what they’re planning, these globalists, is to sink the United States and Europe by pushing them into a suicidal war with Russia, China, and Iran. It’s not that they want to take down Russia and China, it’s that they [laughs] wanna take down the United States and Europe.
And I don’t know if you’ve followed my work. I know a lot of you have, but, uh, I have understood the prophecies in a little different way. And, uh, particularly in, uh, Isaiah, the 19th chapter, where it speaks about Egypt, and then in E- Ezekiel, the 29th, 30th, 31st chapter, or 32nd chapter, I, I believe, it talks about Egypt being cut down, the largest tree in the garden of God’s nations. And all the people of Earth wanted to live under its shadow. And Jehovah gives the order to cut the tree down.
Well, you know, the Watch Tower commented on that prophecy years ago, and they said that the tree represents all of the nations [laughs] of the world, [laughs] and it’s cut down at Armageddon. But if you were to actually read that prophecy, it’s comparing this one particular tree that represents Egypt, quotes around “Egypt,” it’s comparing it to all the other tree-like nations. And I- it even says it’s in Jehovah’s garden of Eden. That’s because Jehovah has, since the garden of Eden, he’s allowed nations to develop. And the Apostle Paul told us that God has allowed these superior authorities to exist, and he puts them in their relative positions through Christ. Christ is really the King of King, Lord of Lords, and so on. Even though Satan is the god of this world, the ruler of this world, uh, he can be overruled at times for the benefit of God’s people to accomplish His purpose.
But there in Ezekiel, when it’s talking about taking down this big tree, it says, “It is the appointed time of nations and the day of Jehovah.” So it’s not talking about what happened when Babylon took down Egypt. It’s talking about the fall of the greatest nation in history, America.
And you know, the Watch Tower even recognizes that Egypt represents the king of the South. Because if you read on there where the king of the North flooding over and so forth, it says, “He will rule over the hidden treasures of Egypt,” and they will be… Egypt and its allies will be subjugated by the king of the North. And that’s why there’s no mention of the king of the South. It’s a singular king of the North that comes all the way to his end when Michael, the great prince, stands up and does away with him, the whole system. So at that point, the ruling king of the North is the eighth king.
But first, they have to collapse this system, and we’re talking about total collapse. The money system, the political system, everything that we depend on for stability, security, it is going to crash. And that’s what’s symbolized with the opening of the sixth seal. Well, why doesn’t the Watch Tower… There’s supposed to be, you know, watchmen on the wall looking at the things coming, telling us, alerting us to what is coming.
Why can’t they see what is coming? Well, [laughs] they think that Jesus Christ has already come and Jehovah’s Witnesses have been deluded into believing that to be true.
You know, in the 16th chapter of Matthew, the Pharisees and Sadducees approached Jesus to test him, and they demanded that he show them a sign from heaven. And he said something interesting in reply. He gave them a little, um, lesson in weather, [laughs] meteorology. He said, “When evening falls, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red.'”And in the morning, it will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red but gloomy. You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret. A wicked and adulterous generation keeps seeking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”
And then it says, with that, he went away, leaving them behind. Well, the sign of Jonah, of course, was when Jesus was entombed for three days, just as Jonah was in the big fish for three days. And miraculously, the fish, um, vomited him out [laughs] and he came to shore. Uh, well, Jesus wasn’t vomited out of the tomb, but He did come out alive.
But it’s interesting that the Watchtower says that they have seen the sign. They’ve seen the sign that Jesus gave to His apostles when they were on the Mount of Olives, and His disciples approached Him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things be and what will be the sign of Your presence and the conclusion?” And of course, He told them nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom and all of that, food shortages, pestilence, great earthquakes.
And so the Watchtower has identified 1914 as the beginning of… The sign began to display itself. And so, that is why…they see what’s happening today in the world and they recognize that it could be World War III, but they’ve assured Jehovah’s Witnesses that there cannot be a World War III because nation rose against nation, kingdom against kingdom in 1914.
The Book of Isaiah was one of the first prophetic books written, and from the 40th chapter on through t- to the 66th chapter is basically a conversation that God has with His people and with the nations at the time that Christ returns. And Jesus, of course, speaks for Jehovah. He comes in the name of Jehovah. And in the 41st chapter of Isaiah, Jehovah says, “Listen to me in silence, you islands. Let the nations regain their strength. Let them approach, then let them speak. Let us come together for judgment.”
Well, has this happened? Only in a figurative way, which is apparent by my reading the next verse, you’ll recognize. It says, “Who has raised up someone from the sunrise, calling him in righteousness to his feet to hand over nations to him and to make him subdue kings, who reduces them to dust before his sword like wind-blown stubble before his bow?” In a figurative way, He’s referring to Cyrus. He conquered mighty Babylon.
But it says there that He will subdue kings, plural, and He’s really talking about Jesus. Elsewhere in Isaiah, He referred to Cyrus as His anointed one, as His servant. And so that is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, Christ meaning anointed, of course.
So this opening verse, “Listen to me in silence, let the nations regain their strength,” He’s speaking to them at the time the system collapses with the opening of the sixth seal and the stars of heaven fall and the sun goes dark and every mountain is rocked from its place and every island. So now He’s addressing them, “Listen to me in silence, you islands. Let the nations regain their strength.”
So how will they respond to the evidence that Jesus Christ has arrived? You know, the Watchtower claims that Jesus went forth with His bow. You know, the opening of the first seal, “I saw one seated on a white horse, a crown was given Him and a bow, and He went forth conquering, and to complete His conquest.” He’s still riding after 111 years? He hasn’t completed His conquest?
But here it says, “He will subdue kings and reduce them to dust before His sword like wind-blown stubble before His bow. He pursues them, passing along unhindered over paths that His feet have not traveled.”
So obviously, the nations did not crash in 1914 or 1915 or ’16. And no, the Anglo-American dual world power did not suffer the mortal head wound as the Watchtower claims. This is what we’re on the verge of.
Well, I wanna read some more there. It said, “The islands have seen it and have become afraid.” This is verse 5. “The ends of the earth began to tremble-“They draw near and come forward.”
You know, if we go back to Ezekiel, when this mighty cedar tree is cut down, the whole earth becomes shocked. It can’t believe that this mighty nation, the greatest nation in the world, is suddenly defeated. But that’s what’s going to happen, and it will shock the world. “The ends of the earth began to tremble.” Of course, there’ll be some nuclear weapons involved with that, right?
Jesus said that there would come this terrible tribulation, nothing like it has ever happened before, and nothing like it will ever happen again. And unless God intervened, no flesh would be saved.
So that’s how God gets everyone’s attention–by intervening and preventing a world extinction event–and then He allows the nations to respond. And what do they do? [laughs] Well, each one helps his companion.
This is verse six, “And says to his brother, ‘Be strong.’ So the craftsman strengthens the metalworker, and the one who flattens with a forge hammer strengthens the one hammering at the anvil. He says about the soldering, ‘It is good.’ Then it is fastened with nails so that it will not topple over.”
Well, he’s obviously speaking here metaphorically about making a metal statue, an idol. But in the Book of Revelation, the 13th chapter, when this beast suffers a mortal wound, and it miraculously comes back to life, isn’t that what it’s talking about here? Let the nations regain strength. When this beast comes back to life, what does he do? He orders the nations to make an image of the beast and to worship it. Now, from Jehovah’s standpoint… I mean, in Isaiah, he says, “There’s one who’s dwelling above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants are as grasshoppers before him.” So it doesn’t matter if an idol is a little crucifix, or a little statue, or this eighth king—Let’s call it the United Nations, that people will look to to save them, to bring the system back to life, to protect them, so that is how they respond to Jehovah intervening in world affairs.
You know, God… people have a lot of strange and infantile ideas about how this is going to end up. I’m talking about people who try to read the Bible and, uh, try to make sense of it. Obviously, atheists don’t think that Jesus is ever gonna return, and I think a lot of Christians don’t think He’s going to either. You rarely hear about a Catholic talking about the return of Jesus, but the evangelicals do, and, you know, they’ve come up with this rapture thing. And all of a sudden, you know, people are gonna levitate off the earth, and all the wicked will be left behind to suffer tribulation for seven years [laughs]. I don’t know what happens after that. Then, then, God kills them all after s- and then they go to hell for, to be tortured after seven years of torment on earth? [laughs]
But Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t really have a clear idea, either, because they say the next thing on the agenda is the Great Tribulation. We’ve already experienced it, everything leading up to that. Jesus is already here and so forth, and then suddenly, Jesus is gonna show up and slaughter everyone that’s not, you know, in the truth. Well, that is an infantile idea as well.
Speaking to His servants, it says, “But you, O Israel, are my servant. You, O Jacob, whom I have chosen. The offspring of Abraham, my friend.”
We know he’s not talking about the Israelites [laughs], are we? The nation of Israel that exists today, the nuclear nation of Israel that’s committing genocide in Gaza and wants to drag the United States into a war with Iran, that is not Jacob. They may be, some of them obviously, are the physical offspring of Abraham. Yeah, but if you know anything about the Bible, you know that, uh, that the real seed of Abraham is Jesus. And those who are in union with Jesus are also the seed of Abraham.
And if you don’t understand that, read the Book of Galatians that Paul wrote. And so he’s really speaking to the remnant that will be on earth when Christ comes, who will be sealed, and who will actually see Jesus and be given the task of being His witnesses, standing before governors and kings to give them a witness, and they will respond by making this image [laughs].
But anyway, he… Verse 9, he says, “You, whom I took from the ends of the earth, and you, whom I called from its most distant parts.”
Didn’t Jesus say, in answer to his apostle’s question, “Tell us, when will these things be? What will be the sign?” He says, “And then the angels will sound a loud trumpet, and the chosen will be gathered from the most distant parts of the earth, from the four corners of the earth.”You whom I took from the ends of the earth and you whom I called from its most distant parts. That’s the chosen ones. They’re not gathered to a geographical place, they’re gathered into the kingdom.
Remember the illustration of the wheat and the weeds? The chosen are brought into the storehouse where they will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. It’s not not talking about them being in heaven. “You are my servant. I have chosen you. I’ve not rejected you. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you. Yes, I will help you. I will really hold onto you with my right hand of righteousness.”
Isn’t that what Jesus said? ‘Do not be anxious what you will say before governors and kings and the assembly. Do not rehearse beforehand because what you will say will be given you in that hour.’… I will fortify you. Yes, I will help you. I will really hold onto you.” “Look, all those getting enraged against you will be put to shame and humiliated. Those who fight with you will be brought to nothing and perish. You will search for men who struggle with you, but you will not find them. The men at war with you will become as something nonexistent, as nothing at all. For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the one saying to you, ‘Do not be afraid. I will help you. Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel. I will help you,’ declares Jehovah, your repurchaser.”
Verse 15 really, um, proves that it… He’s not talking about, you know, the Israelites when they came back from Babylon. He says, “Look, I have made you a threshing sledge, a new threshing instrument with double-edged teeth. You will tread down the mountains and crush them and make the hills like chaff, and you will whittle them and the wind will carry them away. A wind storm will scatter them. You will be joyful in Jehovah and you will boast in the Holy One of Israel.”
Those who see Jesus and who give witness and who are killed are instantaneously changed, in the twinkling of an eye, and become immortal spirits and are joined with Christ and the rest of the 144,000.
And if you read in the 19th chapter, Jesus is seated on a white horse with a sword coming out of His mouth and with Him [laughs] the entire army of the 144,000 to be sure. And so they will crush the nations. Tread down the mountains and crush them. Now going, going on with verse 23. This challenge to the nations to revive. He says to them, “Tell us what will happen in the future so that we may know you are gods. Yes, do something good or bad so that we may be amazed when we see it. Look, you are something nonexistent and your achievement is nothing. Anyone who chooses you is detestable.”
So again, we’re talking about this idol. This eighth king that they will create as a replacement or a substitute, um, as a alternative really to God’s kingdom. And they will be etched out of the book of life. Second death, 666. Right? “Anyone who chooses you is detestable.”
Again, now referring to his Christ. “I have raised up someone from the north and He will come. One from the rising of the sun who will call on my name.” Now Cyrus did not call on the name of Jehovah. He may have been shown by Daniel that he was called upon by name in the book of Isaiah before he was even born, but he didn’t know Jehovah before he conquered Babylon. But from the rising of the sun, Jesus is called the bright morning star. And, uh, we’re told by Peter, when he’s talking about the parousia, we need to keep looking at the prophetic word until the day star arises in our hearts like the sunrise.
In the 16th chapter of Revelation, The Euphrates River was dried up just as Cyrus did when he literally conquered Babylon.” But it says, “The Euphrates River is dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the rising of the sun.” Who are the kings? 144,000. Jesus is the king of those kings and the prince of those princes and the Lord of those lords. “From the rising of the sun, he will call on my name.” You know the 144,000 have the name of Jehovah written on their foreheads, don’t they? Along with the name of the lamb, in contrast with those who by that time will have 666 on their forehead or hand.
But what will this king from the rising of the sun do? “He will trample rulers as if they were clay and like a potter who treads moist clay.”
That’s what Jesus promised those who are faithful. He says, “You will rule with me and you will dash the nations like clay pots.” So anyway, it’s amazing that Jehovah, He challenges the nations to produce their prophets, their gods, tell us the future, and yet God has already told us the future. Isaiah was written what, six, 700 years before Christ and he’s telling us the end? The end is just beginning, the time of the end, and how it is going to end. Amazing, isn’t it?
[instrumental music] Well, thank you for listening. Let’s keep on the watch.
This thing can’t go on much longer. You know, a lot of people recognize that who have no connection to the Bible. It’s just what is happening. A storm that is coming. So, hope to speak to you next week. Until then, may Jehovah bless your search for the truth.
