We are getting into our current events update. Israel Watch one, seven, what year is it? 26. Just going to do that for a couple of weeks until I know you're not writing checks for 2025 anymore. Yeah, who's writing checks? We still write checks. We're old school. I still use cash. You know, that stuff is a little piece of paper. There is still one deceased hostage and the situation continues to evolve. What would normally be the main story in the news, but has been lost in all the craziness this week. is that Iran is up in arms. There have been protests now for 11 days. Demonstrators have actually seized control of two western cities, the cities of Abdanan and Malakashi or Malakshahi. Whatever. They're in the Kurdish region of Iran. And what that means is if they don't overthrow this regime that's in there now, then those people are going to have hell to pay when it's over. That's just the way it'll work. And we'll see. I mentioned it Sunday. Of course there's an Islamic regime right now, what they call Islamic fundamentalists, which means that they're just hardcore Mohammedans. But even if, there's a lot of people saying, This new regime takes over, which could be one of two things. They have a king. Remember the Shah of Iran? Well, his grandson, I think it is, is the prince who some are wanting to become a king again. I'm like, you don't need a king. You need a constitutional republic. But you can only do that if you're no longer Muslim. Because Islam doesn't allow for a constitutional republic. That's why your politicians are stupid. bringing Muslims into this country is imbecility. It is just absolutely unreasonable and illogical. But anyway, it doesn't matter even if they get a constitutional republic set up over there just like in Iraq, what happened there? And same thing will happen in Iran, they still will not like the Jews and they will not support Israel. Meanwhile, small battles continue to take place in Gaza. The IDF says it targeted key Hamas terrorists in a retaliatory strike after ceasefire breach. Of course, most of you probably didn't hear that because the news has been all about other things. But as we watch and wait to see how this turns out, Iranian leaders continue to bloviate. That's a good word. You need to get that one. You use it often because there are a lot of bloviators That's when people talk big, blah, blah, blah, but it doesn't mean anything, bloviate. Iran's top general warns the US and Israel against threatening rhetoric and protest support. In other words, that's directed at Donald Trump because he's been making threats about the fact that if they do attack the people, Trump says he's prepared to attack them. And of course, as far as the protest support, many people, and I would not be surprised to find out that the Israeli Mossad is involved big time over there in what's going on in Iran. And if you've been paying attention, Iran is Persia. Persia is a part of the end time Gog Magog war. And this, I just think it could be that, you know, God gives everybody enough rope to hang themselves, And there's a lot of people looking for excuses to not believe the Bible. And if the Islamic regime is overthrown, people will be like, wait a minute, then this isn't fitting the Gog Magog war thing. Yes it is, it still is, but I'm just telling you that's what people will do. We'll leave things there due to the huge current events elsewhere as we stand with Israel, amen? In other news, a word about the anti-ICE activist that was killed today in Minnesota. We were watching TV when the news came on live. It happened earlier than 1-15, but that's when they showed this picture of the car where the shooting took place. Agent fatally shot suspect in self-defense. officers injured. They tried to make you believe that the officers weren't injured, that there was really no reason for them to shoot this woman. Viewer discretion. It's not gory or anything, but it is what it is. That's the edited version. Now, if you are obstructing an officer trying to enact a lawful order, then you are committing a crime. If you're told to stop the car and get out of the car, and you refuse to, and they see you reaching for something, you have just forfeited your right to live. If you, then maybe you don't reach for something, but you do what this woman did, and you gas it, endangering officers, you just forfeited your right to live. And that's all that happened here. This was the main ICE agent that she directly assaulted. It's a little grainy, but you see the one there, but inside that red circle, right in the middle, is another ICE agent. He is in front of the car, and she tried to run him over. Now, here's, you saw the first angle that I showed you. Here's another angle, and this was what was posted on Truth Social by President Trump. I'll tell you beforehand, it slowed down so it's going to roar, you know that kind of thing in the background. Did you see that? You can see the agent being hit by the car. Watch again, he's right up there in the corner and you see him being hit by the car twice actually. He was hit by the front end and again by the mirror on the side. No, she's dead. This was on the news today, we were talking about the... Now, there's a close-up, you can see it better. See him? Boom, he's hit there and he's hit again, twice. Now, the Marxist mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota responded by inciting anger and violence. I'm going to show you a tiny little clip of this guy. And his name is Jacob Fry. He's the mayor of Minneapolis. And I have a message for ICE. To ICE, get the out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite. That scumbag should be arrested for inciting violence against federal agents. We don't want violence, but we pray the Trump administration crushes any efforts by the leftists this time. What they did during Black Lives Matter and, what is it, the other one, the Antifa riots, George Floyd died from a drug overdose. If you believe to this day that George Floyd was killed, you believe a lie. The autopsy makes it clear he died from fentanyl. There's still a man in prison as far as I know. There's no justice with that. And because it's not a federal offense, he can't be pardoned. And before I move on with that, I just want you to, again, we do not support bad law enforcement killing people for no reason. But we do not think the cops are pigs. We don't think they're bad necessarily, they're just like preachers, they're just like teachers, they're just like everybody else, there's a certain number of bad cops. And we support them being fired and if need be, prosecuted and imprisoned if they do commit a crime. But when a cop is right, you know what the Bible says he is? a minister of God, Romans 13 1-5. If you read that and you understand that, you understand that whenever you are in rebellion against legitimate use of authority by the government, you are in rebellion against God. The news doesn't report the Vatican connection to Venezuela. Nicholas Maduro, or if you're a liberal pretending to be a journalist, it's Nicola Madura. Madura. Nicola Madura. That's how they say it. But Chris Pinto has a ministry, Sounds of Thunder podcast, and he makes the videos. We got most all of his videos from the Dulham films. And he points out the fact that Venezuela dictator Maduro, his advisor for years has been a Jesuit priest. According to the New York Times and other news outlets, it turns out Nicolas Maduro has had a Jesuit priest as his advisor for many years. It is the same priest who advised Hugo Chavez, another crook. And Chavez called him a prophet. His name is Jesuit Father Numa Malina, who is also known as the communist priest by his critics. Employed by the Vatican, paid in full. Here's what he looks like. The spiritual advisor, yeah, foul spirit. Concerning Maduro's relationship with the powerful Jesuit who has been influencing Venezuela politics for many years, the National Catholic Register reports that, quote, Maduro reportedly phones Father Molina regularly seeking spiritual advice. Father Molina also reportedly celebrates private masses, which is idolatry. for Maduro's family and advises the president's son. You see, Catholic official doctrine is you can be the biggest scumbag on the earth, but if you pay a priest to do masses, it'll get you out of jail. It's like an out-of-jail-free card or whatever you wanna call it. It's also worth noting that the current Jesuit superior general, Arturo Sosa, is also from Venezuela. That's the Black Pope. They call him the Black Pope because they wear that black outfit and he's the one in control of the secret service type of CIA type of work going on for the Vatican. There's a thing called Info Vaticana reports that the Jesuit Molina spoke against any intervention by the United States prior to the arrest of Maduro. Surprise, surprise. And so forth. So I don't agree with all of Pinto's opinions and assumptions beyond this. I just try to say that it's not a big deal, but there are a couple of things I think he's off on, but nothing of a huge consequence. But his work is commended to all Bible believers. As I said, we've got his documentaries. This is an example. Let me go back on this. This is from Lamp in the Dark. How many of you have seen that, Lamp in the Dark? It's a great documentary. By 1556, three-fourths of the society's membership were dedicated in 46 Jesuit colleges to learning against learning, to indoctrinate minds with the learning of illuminated humanism as opposed to the learning of scripture. This network would expand by 1749 to 669 colleges, 176 seminaries, 61 houses of study, and 24 universities, partly or wholly under Jesuit direction. In the 19th century, Charles Spurgeon warned of the impact of Jesuit education. He spoke of certain preachers saying, they keep back a portion of the gospel, having studied in the devil's new Jesuitical college. But even with their intellectual methods, the Jesuits would not abandon the centuries old practice of persecuting heretics who would not convert. As the rest of their dreadful oath reveals, the initiate is made to swear that he will do the utmost in his power to destroy all opposition to papal authority. He says, I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless against all heretics, Protestants, and liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poignard, or the leaden bullet. as I at any time may be directed to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Society of Jesus. Once the bloody oath is finished, the Jesuit Superior says, Go ye then into all the world, and take possession of all lands in the name of the Pope. He who will not accept him as the Vicar of Jesus and his Vice-Regent on earth, let him be accursed and exterminated. Professor Arthur Noble writes, the reinstatement of the Inquisition in the 16th century was spearheaded by the Jesuits, as were its atrocities. And it is estimated that in that century alone, no less than 900,000 Protestant martyrs laid down their lives for Christ. That's just, that's a three, almost three hour documentary. I watched it in 30 minute increments over several days. But that's good stuff. The major lesson to learn about the Vatican State and her Jesuit secret society is from Revelation 17.1. And there came one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither, I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore. that sitteth upon many waters. That's the Roman Catholic Church. This is a map. Every one of those is a province or top-level grouping they call some of the smaller populated, Catholic populated areas. The whole planet is covered by the Roman Catholic Church. And these are the cathedrals, the locations of these huge cathedrals. We're not talking about the Catholic churches like St. Michael's. We're talking the huge cathedrals like Notre Dame that burned down a few years ago. All over the continent of Europe. That's just one example. I didn't take time to show you the whole world. Then the next verse says, "...with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication." That's not just physical or spiritual. That's both. The sex sins and sex crimes in the Roman Catholic Church are beyond our imagination. And they don't just involve priests with little boys, by the way. And a lot of it has to do with the nuns and the nunneries through the years. Through the centuries, the nunneries have been used like brothels. and so forth. And the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. And the tentacles of the Vatican is in every economy around the world. And they will actually tell their churches that they don't have money. and they've been closing down churches because they don't wanna spend money on churches. You've gotta be a profit. It's a non-profit, for-profit situation. And if you're not turning a profit, they close you down and make you go to another parish or whatever they call it. And the amount of money that they have, they're not lying, because what they're talking about is liquid assets, cash. But what they have in stocks, bonds, land, real estate, and art, what they have in sculptures and paintings and all that is incalculable. They have certain artifacts that are considered priceless, that you can't even put a price on. all down, not all of it, but a lot of it's in the basement areas under the Vatican itself. There's another, these represent the diplomatic missions of various types. They have certain arrangements. Some are just like ambassadors. Did you know that the Vatican State is represented in the United Nations, like a government? You don't have a Baptist state or a Presbyterian state, but you have a Catholic Vatican state in the UN. They have a flag, they have a national anthem, they have a small standing army with plenty of money to pay people to do their dirty work. And you can learn more by reading any of several carefully selected books. I say carefully because there's a lot of books out there about the Roman Catholic Church, but they're not good. So be careful, but one is Avro Manhattan's The Vatican Billions. He also wrote one called The Dollar and the Vatican. I've read them both. I read this one too, Edmund Paris, The Secret History of the Jesuits. And then Dave Hunt's, I read this one, A Woman Rides the Beast. So I've read all those and can tell you that if you've got the time or you've got the stamina, the stick-to-itiveness to read just a few pages a day, you get through it in two or three months. One of those books. That's like A Woman Rides the Beast, man. 10, 15, 20 pages and it's so heavy you just gotta put it down. There's also the documentaries. There's a documentary based on the book A Woman Rides the Beast. Pinto put out American Jesuits a few years ago. We have that somewhere in our library. And of course A Lamp in the Dark we mentioned. And we close with this. Satire in the news. I thought you said, how many of you know what satire is? How many of you are missing the gene and you don't get it? Because there are some people who don't get satire. Yesterday marked the fifth anniversary of the January 6, 2021, D.C. protest. Democrats solemnly remember the only riot they didn't like. Nation observes zero seconds of silence to read the names of those killed by Trump supporters on January 6th. Why is that funny? For years they've been lying to everybody claiming Trump supporters killed cops and killed people and it's all a lie. So you need zero seconds to read the names. And yesterday also marked the one-year anniversary of Kamala Harris officially certifying President Trump's landslide election victory. Kamala J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes. Kamala D. Harris. I just had to share that. Some of your faces at first were like, is that real? And the busiest man in government today has to be U.S. Secretary of State Margot Rubio. And only in America... Wait a minute. This is funny, but this is actually a real news report. And only in America, the many lives and many jobs of Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants and a former Florida senator. He's now the face of US foreign policy and President Trump's point man on Venezuela. All in addition to his roles as Secretary of State, Interim National Security Advisor, an acting National Archivist and USAID chief. Whatever you think of his politics, you gotta admit, it's an impressive resume. And now, AI means have added to that portfolio, casting Secretary Rubio as the new governor of Minnesota, the new Shah of Iran, the prime minister of Greenland, the new manager of Manchester United, the head of Hilton Hotels and highest of high honors of all, the new Michelin Man. Now, back in real life, of course, these memes may not add up to much, but for Rubio's hometown fans, which are many around here in Miami, it is a sign of how Florida, once an American punchline, has become a leader on the world stage. Marco Rubio, we salute you. You're the ultimate Florida man. Interim Ayatollah and President of Venezuela, Marco Rubio, taking questions from reporters in Greenland. I thought that was good. That's good stuff. And one final news item. Awkward. Biden forced to pay Trump the $25 million bounty for capturing Maduro. Because technically Biden put the bounty on Maduro. And one thing, just your homework assignment is to go look up the videos of all the Democrats calling for Biden to do exactly what Trump has done and now complaining about it now that Trump did it. Just think about how stupid that is. Be informed, pray and act accordingly.
