The current events update. Israel at war, 10, 26, 25. And we're still watching the situation with ceasefire and still have, last I saw, 12 bodies remain in Gaza. Trump, Netanyahu, and others are saying Hamas knows where most, if not all of those are, but Hamas is trying to pretend they don't. So we continue to wait for Hamas to follow through, not only on that, but other things they've promised to do in this ceasefire deal. And now we're at the point of threats. Last night, the report was Trump saying that Hamas must start returning hostage remains or face consequences within 48 hours. So I guess that'd be like Monday night, our time. uh... some of the bodies are hard to reach but others they can return now and for some reason they are not that was the president's comment there Meanwhile, an Egyptian crew has entered into Gaza to help search for bodies. And their number is 13 because they're adding a person who was held hostage from 2014 who has not been returned as well. But that, I don't know if that is connected to the ceasefire, but we'll see what goes on there. And this guy representing Hamas, Khalil al-Hayya, He says, we will enter new areas on Sunday to search for bodies. So that's what's going on. I just want to keep you up to date what is going on with all that. And the battle isn't just from October 7, 2023. It's an endless battle. Endless in our time. After the rapture, it'll end when Jesus returns. But for our lifetime, it's not going to end, even if they come to an agreement regarding October 7th. Just like we showed Wednesday, there's supposed to be an end to hostilities with Hezbollah on the northern border, and they're still fighting. uh... there's fighting going on in syria there's fighting going on the west bank uh... but uh... the next phase is to destroy the gossam tunnel network which is massive and uh... the israel's defense minister uh... cats his last name israel cats tells book told vice president vance that over sixty percent remain undestroyed meaning over 60% could be 70, 75%. So that tells you they've been destroying these things constantly, and they still have so much to go. And all the money that's been sent over there under the auspices of peace over the last 20 years, and they've been spending that money to build tunnels and to kill Jews. That's what's been going on. That's a huge stretch of tunnels set for destruction. And he has instructed the IDF to destroy all these tunnels as best they can. He called it the central mission now of the IDF. As long as there's a ceasefire, they're going to be spending all their time and effort trying to destroy these tunnels. and so it's important you understand these things because our news media is so anti-Israel and they're trying to make it look like you know those poor Gazans over there and and even Hamas they try to act like Hamas isn't what they are and we've shown you example after example but it's In some cases, not all, I know some of you got things together up here, and you know what's going on, but there's a lot of Christians who see some of this stuff, but then they turn on the fake news, and they're surrounded by people saying all this stuff, and they're influenced by it. And that's the hardest thing about not just Israel, just about being a Christian these days, is not being influenced by the mass delusion that's taking place all around us. And so it doesn't matter what they say, we're going to stick to the truth, we're going to stick to the book, and we're going to stand with Israel. Amen? In other current events, many flat earthers and moon landing deniers Spread half-truths, lies, and other false claims like this, and we're going to answer them when they do. The word NASA, you'll be told, it means to deceive. You might have heard that at the Hebrew roots thing. It's a lie. It's not true. But see, what people do is they put this stuff out on video, and then people don't research it. They don't check it out to see if it's true, and then they go around repeating it. It's not. Do you know what NASA means in Hebrew? Oh, are you a Hebrew Israelite? Somewhat. I think it's in my blood. Okay, cool. Respect. Yeah. What does NASA mean? To deceive. In what language? In Hebrew. Is that true? Do we have a Hebrew scholar around us? Yeah, 100%. You can look it up on your own time, for sure. That's how they play the game. They say something, and then they basically say, you can just look it up on your own time. It's true. I'm telling you, it's true. It's not true. Secular sources. tell you, no, Nasa does not mean to deceive in Hebrew. The claim is a misconception based on a confusion between two distinct Hebrew words that sound familiar but have different meanings and spellings. Nasa and Nasha. Nasha means to deceive. Nasa, N-A-S-A, Nasa is how it's pronounced, Nasa in Hebrew. If you look up Christian sources, It will tell you NASA, NASA, NASA, who is teaching you how to pronounce it. It means to lift in a great variety of applications, literal and figurative. to accept, to advance, to arise, to lift, all those things. So it just takes looking it up, look up a dictionary, and you'll see that they, we, why is it important? Why is this important? Because error begets error. You start going down this path, it's just gonna take you into deeper and deeper error. And it also makes you look stupid. And if you want to be a witness, don't make yourself look ignorant. Don't expect people to listen to you if you're going to say things that are stupid. Amen? We had a couple come here a while back trying to convince us that our whole country's being run by reptilians. Bush is a reptilian and they, what do they call that? Shapeshift and all that kind of thing. And this couple, they were talking, and they wondered why the rest of their family, many of whom are Christians, thought they were kooky. And I'm like, well, because you are. I mean, it's just, you're going to say stuff like that, expect people to think you're a nut. Just truth. When you talk about the stars, lights, not reaching the Earth because of the time delay of whether it's space travel or things like that, I think the true answer to the question is the stars are placed into the firmament, Genesis 1 verse 4, the stars are placed into the firmament on like the fourth day of creation, so these are not Fast distant bodies moving through outer space going it losing all of their energy and then that like getting to earth a hundred Thousand years later the reason they are stationary like my gentleman mentioned is because they're placed in the firmament They're they're not going to move. They're going to forever be just in the place where God placed them So what is the sky the sky is a hard? Tangible expanse the reason it's called the firmament. It's a dome. We live in a snow globe, right and live in a snow globe. Now to be fair, what he means is that it's like a snow globe in his mind, his conception of it. That if you had a missile that you could shoot up there, it would go bonk. And even though you can look up in the night sky and see the satellites, they're not really satellites. And it's just, you know what? You can become as delusional as you want to be. And, you know, we've talked to people about this through the years, and some of them are way out there in Fruitville because they won't look at the sources of their information. Now, that face he made right there accurately expresses how honest, intelligent people feel at this point in the conversation. It reminds me of that statement, you know, where he says, not only was what you said not true, but everyone is dumber for having heard it. you will get no points, and God have mercy on your soul. There's the world they live in. In their mind, their conception of the world, a snow globe. Now, that's just kind of a word picture, but this is actually their map of the earth. That's what they will tell you the earth is. And it's like this dome, and that the sun is actually just a little ways up. It's not millions of miles. It's just up there a little ways. This is another conception of the firmament. Like the Truman Show, that's an example of what they think you're living in. and there are several different maps showing this. This one you kind of have to look, it's faint there, but that's the idea. They say no one's ever fallen off the edge because no one's ever gotten beyond that. There's like this huge ledge and everything they come up with in their mind. So, as I said, error begets error, but did you know that NASA spells Satan? Sort of on a deeper level though, like how would NASA benefit from you know, I love the question. I forgot that. Yeah, um You're hiding God's handiwork. Hmm. God is the creator as soon as I change what he created I bring it to question his existence. Mm-hmm. Well, you understand what I mean, right? So also NASA when you pick take a T the letter T and you place it inside of NASA you now get and you play a little bit of scramble you're gonna get the worst See that You take the word NASA, you put the letter T, and you kind of scramble it, and it spells Satan. I mean, you could do that with just about any word. I mean, you may not spell Satan, but you can come up with any word and make it spell something else by adding a word and scrambling letters. So anyway. He is serious, by the way. This isn't a joke. This is a serious debate going on. Proverbs 15, 7 says, The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. And you, as a believer, are to disperse knowledge. You may think something. You may have an opinion and say, well, I think this. That's fine. But when you say that something is a fact, you're not supposed to act like the evolutionists who say it's a fact when it's not a fact. And so we have differences. People have differences. Like, I'll grant that it's possible that they didn't actually land on the moon with men and that they somehow landed a robotic thing or whatever. That's possible. But that's not possible that we weren't at the moon whenever we can actually see the junk they left behind. And there's a mirror up there that they shoot the laser at. And I've watched it done. I've seen it done live. And it shoots up, shoots back. And you'll hear the most ridiculous explanations for how they were able to accomplish that, that the moon rocks are able to reflect a laser or something like that. And it's, you know, as Christians, We are not given to delusion, and these flat earthers and people like that, they especially want you to believe that when God says, the creation is a witness, you're supposed to believe that you can't believe what you see. That's not what God says. That's what the deceivers want you to believe. Don't believe your lying eyes, as they say. Well, you do have to be careful with AI. There are things you have to be careful with. But what you see in creation is what you see. And it is what it is. And so we've talked about the different evidences for the global earth, like the shadow of the earth on the moon during the eclipse, and the horizon, which you see all kinds of videos where they try to refute that. But if you look at a legit video of the horizon and the boat going over the horizon, that sort of thing. So I'm just telling you that if you or anyone you know, especially this flat earth stuff, if you're buying into that stuff, you're being deceived. And as your pastor, you can get mad and leave. I'm gonna tell you when you're being deceived. And don't buy all this conspiracy stuff just because they make YouTube videos about it. You know? Or paintings or whatever. And don't ruin your witness. On another issue, as imperfect as our president is, he's far from perfect, we should thank God for his administration, especially when we compare it to the previous one and the previous administrations in my entire lifetime, reversing the communist sodomite policies of the Biden Marxist administration. Even if he didn't do anything positive, just undoing all that satanic garbage of the previous administration deserves our applause. And a federal judge has overturned the Biden-era transgender health care protections. Transgender health care protections means you pay for sex changes. You change for gender affirming care. You pay for hormonal therapy. You pay for it. You and your children pay for the healthcare of these mostly unemployed, welfare case, transgenders, many of them still in college, some in high school, that we have been paying for. You wonder why your healthcare's going up? Don't believe the lies. If you take all the drug addicts, all the sodomites out of the mix, what they want you to believe is fat people are the problem. Now, people who are terribly obese and they are bringing some of these costs up, there's no doubt that that is true, but that's very small compared to the sodomites and the drug addicts. And by the way, it's not just the drugs, it's the violence. The violence in the sodomite culture, their drug abuse, meth and heroin and everything that they are on. And it's a death style. If you take all those people out of our healthcare system, there's nothing wrong with our system, folks. They're selling you a lie. Obamacare was based on the lie that there's something wrong with our healthcare system. It's not the system that's the problem. It's all the wickedness that we are forced to pay for. That's the problem. And so a federal judge says, overturned a Biden-era rule that protected transgender healthcare under anti-discrimination measures. They weren't allowed to refuse your transgender treatments because it'd be discrimination. Judge Louie, I think it's Girola. I'm saying it wrong. Louie G. Who said that? Yeah, Louie G. A U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi ruled in favor of a coalition of 15. Now, this is just kind of like it is, 15 Republican-led states. Folks, that should be all the states. But we have a problem. We have a party in this country called the Democrat Party that is a Marxist satanic death cult. And when everybody stops being so timid that you can't speak the truth because it's political, it's politics. Jesus couldn't care less if it's politics, if it's evil, if it's wicked. We are supposed to stand against it. And I hear it, I just heard it again this week, so I apologize for going off. I get so tired hearing that. Wait, save it to the end. I want to go to the end there. The complaint was filed regarding section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. Fancy words for Obamacare. which the Biden administration interpreted, they didn't, they perverted it, to include provisions for transgender identifying people to receive so-called gender-affirming care. The provision added gender identity to Title IX's definition of discrimination. Folks, Title IX was to protect girls. So that the girls could have their own sports without boys beating up on them. And that the girls could have sports that they weren't even allowed to have because everything was focused on boys sports. And the girls could have their own facilities without boys in there. And now these wicked reprobates have gone totally full circle. And now they are the ones who are basically attacking girls in the name of inclusivity. It's just amazing. It's going to be, I'm just going to say this, it's unrelentless and I just think, I've said it before, if the Democrats are able to put up a candidate who is cool or the kind of guy that you could have a beer with, that's what they say. And he's not, people like the way he looks or she better than they like the, it doesn't matter. Policies don't matter to a huge chunk of people in this country, folks. And if they put somebody up like that to push their satanic agenda, hold on, buckle up. Especially not just 2026 coming up in the midterms, but I'm talking 2028, a whole change, see change back to what it was like under Biden. The Marxists left are child abusers and baby killers. That is a statement of fact. They want to mutilate children. They want to tell these poor children, you were born in the wrong body. And here, take these meds, take these hormones, and then they start chopping body parts off. That's if they survive the womb. Human rights, what do you think about them? We're in favor of them. For everybody? Yes. How about the unborn? Do you support human rights? Yes, of course. For everybody? Yes, of course. Even people in the womb? Well, it all depends on if they're actually a baby or not. Science says they are. Well, it depends on what science you're talking about. 96% of all biologists, according to the NIH. Thoughts on human rights? I'm all for them. Yeah, me too. Especially now, right? For everybody, right? Yeah. Even the unborn? An unborn what? Unborn in the womb. Yeah, no rights for them. Thoughts on human rights? That's what we're here for. For everybody, right? Yes. Including the unborn? No. Everyone has autonomy to not be killed, I think. Freedom means choice. You have no argument. Stop taking rights away. Get out of here. Folks, that's why I will never stop calling the Democrat Party a death cult. That's your neighbors, your relatives, your co-workers who are in that death cult. They want the right to murder unborn children, and that's not where it ends. And they've put it in our Constitution here in Ohio. It's basically, what's the word they use for it? Codified, yeah. Codified, codified, however you pronounce it. And it will take another constitutional amendment to undo that, just here in Ohio. So that tells you what? It's not just Democrats. You got godless Republicans, godless Independent, and almost all the Libertarians. They have murder in their heart. So what do we do about it? Well, first of all, you got to make sure you don't have it in your heart. If anything I'm saying is angering you, you got a heart problem, you need to deal with it first. The second thing is, you better pray and reason with those people around you that are stuck in that satanic death cult. Because if they're unsaved, the rapture happens, those loved ones are left behind for the worst time in human history. And you know what? God's going to, it's payday. all the blood of those unborn children pay back time. That's why I say it's a death cult. Be informed. Pray and act accordingly.
